• 4 residential units;
• 3,175 SF of retail in two CRUs;
• a total density of 2.33 FSR;
• a building height of 45 ft.
• four parking spaces at the lane.

The first townhouse development application has come forward under the Cambie Corridor Phase 3 Plan, which was adopted by city council in the summer of 2018. Close to 1,000 lots were designated for townhouse development, with a small portion rezoned to RM-8A by the City as a first ‘zone’ for immediate development.

Redekop Kroeker Development has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 5-single family lot land assembly on West 29th Avenue is just West of Cambie Street. The site at 535 West 29th Avenue is 34,761 SF in size.

The plan for the site is for eight 2 & 3-storey courtyard rowhouse buildings, and includes:

• 30 three bedroom units;
• a total density of 1.20 FSR;
• total building height of 38 ft.;
• 42 parking spaces on one underground level.

Under the site’s existing RM-8A 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 Gateway Architecture.

A rezoning application has been for the Langara Family YMCA property at West 49th Avenue and Alberta Street. The site sits just West of Langara College, and North of Langara Golf Course. 

The redevelopment of the 87,103 SF site at 282 West 49th Avenue entails rezoning an existing CD zone, to allow complete redevelopment of the existing YMCA facility to double the scale of the facility. The redevelopment concept has been consulting with the community and facility users for over a year.

The proposal consists of:

• a 5-storey YMCA replacement facility, including childcare, recreation (fitness, gym, and aquatic facilities), community spaces, and a cafe;
• a 13-storey non-market residential building containing 70 units;
  • 11-studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 26 two-bedrooms & 9 three-bedrooms;
• a 20-storey market residential building containing 158 condo units;
  • 41 one-bedrooms, 85 two-bedrooms & 32 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 3.53 FSR;
• Total buildings heights of 198 ft. for the condo tower, and 145 ft. for the non-market tower.
• underground parking with 339 vehicle parking spaces and 545 bicycle parking spaces.

This rezoning application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The YMCA of Greater Vancouver anticipates that construction would start in 2021 and be completed in 2023.

The architect for the project is Stantec.
