A rezoning application has been submitted by Bogner Development for a three-lot land assembly on West 41st Avenue at Columbia Street, two blocks East of Oakridge Centre.

The 22,643 SF site at 208-232 West 41st Avenue is currently zoned RS-1 and improved with three single family houses.

The proposal is for a 15-storey rental building including:

• 156 market rental units;
• 23 studios, 80 one-bedrooms, 42 two-bedrooms & 11 three-bedrooms;
• 7,000 SF of retail space at grade;
• amenity space on the rooftop;
• a total density of 5.84 FSR;
• a maximum building height of 169 ft.; and
• 95 underground parking stalls and 290 bicycle spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.

Rize Alliance has submitted a rezoning application for 810 Kingsway, a 24,800 SF site currently occupied by Sammy’s Flooring.

The proposal for the site is a 6-storey rental building under the City of Vancouver’s Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

Details include:

• 103 market rental units;
• 31 studios, 36 one-bedrooms, 29 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedrooms;
• 11,210 SF of retail space at grade;
• a total density of 3.62 FSR;
• a maximum height of 72 ft.; and
• 92 underground parking stalls and 193 bike spaces.

The application describes the design rationale: “The C-2 guidelines have informed building stepbacks along Kingsway and rear-yard setbacks towards the lane. The intersection of Kingsway and Prince Albert Street is oblique, creating a flat iron condition. At this prominent corner, we are proposing a six story element that folds away from the Kingsway frontage, providing a visual landmark as well as space for a landscaped, publicly accessible plaza.
The grade of the site slopes steeply down from Kingsway south along Prince Albert Street. This grade change allows us to insert two-level townhouses fronting the lane without raising the building height relative to Kingsway. The five, three-bedroom, two-level townhouses along the lane provide valuable ground-oriented rental units suitable for families. These townhouses help to create a transition to the single-family homes to the south while providing animation and passive surveillance along the lane.“

The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.

A development application has been submitted to the City of Vancouver for permission to restore and retain the front façade of a fire damaged heritage “C” Building at 748 East Broadway, between Fraser and Prince Albert Streets.

The building suffered a fire in 2014 that destroyed much of the structure.

The plan for the redevelopment is a new 4-story mixed use building consisting of:

• 18 rental units;
  • 10 studios & 8 one-bedrooms;
• 2,171 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 2.98 FSR;
• a proposed height of approximately 45 feet; and
• two surface parking spaces, having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the C-2C 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 Stuart Howard.
