Bastion Developments has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 5-storey, mixed-use building at the Southwest corner of Arbutus & 10th, formerly Gordon’s Auto Body. The C-8 zoned site is 17,248 sq ft.
The proposal for the site is a mass timber, passive house condo building with:
42 condo units;
21 one-bedrooms & 21 two-bedrooms;
2,700 sq ft of retail and restaurant space;
a total density of 2.36 FSR;
A height of 60 ft.;
Three levels of underground parking providing 82 parking spaces having vehicular access from Cranberry Drive at the rear.
Adera has submitted a rezoning application for a 14,932 sq ft. site they own at 1220 St. Georges Avenue at the Northeast corner of St. George’s and East 12th in the Central Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The site is one block south of the Lions Gate Hospital and east of the Fire Hall.
The proposal would replace an existing 23-unit rental apartment building at 1220 St. Georges that was built in the late 1950s.
The proposal for the site is a new 6-storey rental building that includes:
Next week the City of Vancouver will consider allowing a rezoning enquiry for PCI Group‘s site at the Northeast corner of Broadway & Granville to move ahead to the application stage.
PCI already secured a Development Permit for the site at 1477 West Broadway in 2019 for a project including 6 floors of underground parking and storage, retail uses, a subway station entrance, and three floors of office above. The project is already under construction at the P5 parking level.
Existing Development Concept
A higher density rezoning had been contemplated for several years, although the forthcoming Broadway Plan had essentially placed a moratorium on new rezoning applications. PCI’s rezoning inquiry will now be considered as an exceptional circumstance under the Broadway Plan Interim Rezoning Policy given impacts on the station entrance construction should the project be delayed beyond the station construction timeline.
The preliminary proposal is a rental residential tower above a retail and office podium with integrated station entrance, to a height and density significantly above what is permitted under existing zoning. Overall, it includes:
additional retail capacity including a grocery store;
additional office space;
market rental residential units including 20% moderate income units.
The rezoning application is expected to pause the current construction, although it is expected to save significant delays later on thereby minimizing impacts on circulation and access to the South Granville station when the Broadway Subway opens in 2025.
A rezoning application has been submitted by Enrich Developments to the City of Vancouver for a 68,313 sq ft. site at the Southwest corner of Oak Street and West 64th Avenue in Marpole.
The site is an assembly of 12 single family homes.
The proposal calls for the development of three buildings of 6 to 8-storeys in height, and includes:
