Jameson Development Corp. has submitted a rezoning application for the former St. Mark’s Church site in Kitsilano at 1805 Larch Street. The site was sold by Colliers in May 2018 for $11,998,000.

The 150’x 118′ site is currently zoned RT-8. The rezoning proposes to permit the development of a new 5-storey rental residential building, including:

• • 63 rental units with a minimum of 20% of the residential floor area permanently secured for moderate income households;
    • 19 studios, 16 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
  • a total density of 2.55 FSR;
  • a building height of 66 ft.; and
  • 56 underground parking spaces and 113 bicycle spaces.

This application is being considered under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program (MIRHPP). This policy requires that at least 20% of the residential floor area (of total FSR) is to be made available to households earning between $30,000 & $80,000 per annum. 

The architect for the project is Metric Architecture.

The proposal calls for a new 4-storey, commercial building with 3 levels of underground parking, including:
