The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone 587-599 West King Edward Avenue from RS-5  to CD-1 District. The proposal includes:

• restoration and designation of the heritage house at 587 West King Edward Avenue;
• 20 three-storey townhouses including five lane-facing lock-off units;
• a density of 1.39 FSR
• 40 underground parking spaces.

Vancouver City Council will vote this week on whether to approve the Pearson Dogwood Policy Statement.

The Policy Statement will guide the rezoning and redevelopment of the 25.4 acre Pearson Dogwood site at Cambie and 59th that is controlled by the Province/Vancouver Coastal Health. It considers the future mix of uses, density, height, building forms, character, public spaces, circulation and movement, and parks and community facilities to serve the new and existing community.  Below is a summary:

• a density of 2.8 FSR (gross)
• 3-28 storey residential buildings mixed with community space, commercial space, and a new transit station
