A development application has been submitted for an industrial-zoned property in the Strathcona area of East Vancouver. The plan for the 11,616 SF, I-2 zoned site at 1157 Parker Street is to develop a new four-storey, mixed-use building, consisting of:

• Manufacturing uses on the first, second, and third floors (23,198 SF)
• General Office uses on the third and fourth floors (11,650 SF)
• Total building area of 34,848 SF
• total density of 3.00 FSR
• two levels of underground parking

Under the site’s existing I-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning. The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.

The site was listed and sold by Matt Smith and Steve Fame of Colliers.

Aragon Properties is heading back to City of Port Moody council with a revised rezoning application for their site at 2713-2725 Clarke Street.

Aragon had submitted a rezoning application back in April 2016 for a 6-storey condo building per the guidelines in the OCP; however, several residents in Aragon’s previous project “The Station” spoke in opposition of the rezoning due to view loss. City council voted in favour of the residents and against the previously approved OCP by defeating the application at third reading. (all but the Mayor and one councilor voted in favour).

The application being brought back is still a 6-storey building with only a minor 2.5 ft. reduction in height.

If Council approves the required bylaw amendments, the project will go back to public hearing on October 11, 2016.
