A rezoning application in the Edgemont Village area of North Vancouver is heading to public hearing. The site is located on the West side of Crescentview Drive, across from the public library.

The plan is to redevelop three residential lots located at 3105 and 3115 Crescentview Dr. to create a three storey 22 unit apartment and a two storey single family house all located over a shared underground parking structure. The proposal  for the 24,374 SF site includes:

• 3 storey condo building and one single family house
• 26 total units
• 3 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms & 6 three-bedroom units
• 43 underground parking spaces
• overall density of 1.75 FSR
• total building height of 35 feet
• a CAC payment of $337,095 (approx. $13 per SF)

The OCP designation that applies to the site is Residential Level 5 – Low Density Apartment which allows a density up to 1.75 FSR. The height and design of the building was further reinforced by the Edgemont Village Centre Plan, which was adopted in 2015.

The architect for the project is Raymond Letkeman Architects.

Cressey Development Group has filed an application to rezone a 12,169 SF site that they own at the corner of West 1st Avenue and Cook Street, just West of Olympic Village. The site sits directly East of their previously completed project “The James”.

The plan calls to rezone from the M-2 industrial zone to CD to permit the development of a 10-storey rental residential building, including:

• 104 rental apartment units
• 51 studio units, 27 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms and 6 three-bedrooms
• a total density of 5.03 FSR
• a building height of 99 feet
• 50 underground parking spaces

The application is being considered under the Southeast False Creek Official Development Plan and Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

Cressey acquired the site in December 2015 for $16,000,000, or $261 per buildable SF based on the expected rezoning.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.

Marcon and Kevington Building Corp. have jointly filed an application to consolidate and rezone a group of lots located at 559, 567, 571, 577 and 581 Clarke Road from CS-l Service Commercial and CS-2 Limited Commercial to C-7 Transit Village Commercial to allow a new highrise condo and rental residential development. The combined site is 76,922 SF in size.

The proposal is being made under the policies in the Burquitlam Neighbourhood Plan and envisions development of transit-oriented and supportive residential density in close proximity to the Burquitlam Evergreen Line Station, which is across the street.

The development proposal includes:

• a 49-storey condo tower with 364 units
• a 15-storey rental tower with 101 units
• commercial retail units fronting Clarke Road
• total combined density of 5.43 FSR
• underground parking accessed from the lane
• 620 total parking spaces
• a $576,914 CAC + $6.9 Million in contributions to public amenities

The site will be resubdivided into two fee simple parcels; one for the market tower and the other for the rental building. The application also involves transferring the density from 559 Clarke Road to the market tower portion of the project. Formerly the location of the Burquitlam Animal Hospital, Marcon has acquired this site to help facilitate a full two-way intersection at Clarke Road and the narrow street that runs behind the development. This will increase the extent of full two-way traffic through the narrow street This street will be fully constructed and complete when the adjoining parcel at 565 Clarke Road redevelops.

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.
