Onni has applied to rezone the final phase of their 21 acre Evelyn project in West Vancouver. ‘Lot 8’ totals 3 acres of vacant land at Taylor Way and Evelyn Drive.
Most of the overall project has now been completed. The remaining six single family dwellings on Lot 10 and
the four townhouses on Lot 6 (attached to Lot 7) are now under construction.
Lot 8 is the largest development parcel at Evelyn. The proposed rezoning for the site contemplates a terraced building similar to the ‘Forest Edge’ buildings in Lots 5 & 7.
The proposal seeks to add 109 additional rental units to the site. The current zoning for Lot 8 allows for a residential apartment building containing up to 119 units, of which a minimum of 30 of those must be for rental housing. The proposal is to increase the number of secured rental units from 30 to 139 (17 affordable units plus 122 market rental). There is no increase to the number of condo units (stays at 89). The total proposed number of units for Lot 8 would increase 119 to 228 and the overall unit count at Evelyn by Onni would increase from 350 to 459.
Details for the Lot 8 rezoning include:
- 228 total units
- 89 condos (including 10 townhouses)
- 122 market rental units
- 17 below-market rental units
- a total density of 1.85 FSR;
- building heights from 5 to 8-storeys with site slope;
- public realm additions including a pedestrian path at the south end of the site to complete the east-west connection to Taylor Way, and new landscaping
- indoor and outdoor resident amenity areas
- 294 underground parking spaces.
There is no CAC applicable given the addition of rental and below market rental units.
The architect for the project is Cicozzi Architecture.
