Larco has applied to the City of Vancouver to amend the rezoning for the Arbutus Village Shopping Centre site.

The overall rezoning for the 7-acre site was approved back in 2011, with the first two phases along Arbutus now having been fully approved and under construction. 

The new rezoning proposal would increase the overall residential floor area for the remaining phases on the Western portion of the site (Blocks C and D), including an increase in the number of market and social housing units. The application cites the housing crisis which has worsened considerably since 2011, as well as the re-imagining of the Arbutus Greenway and Arbutus Corridor. 20% of the units are required to be social housing.

The specific amendments that affect the remaining project (Blocks C and D) include:

• A 113,519 SF increase in total density;
• A total of 240 units;
• An increase in building height on Block C to 197 ft
• An increase in building height of Block D to 236 ft.
• 2,700 SF expansion of planned Neighbourhood House (approx. 10,000 SF)

Blocks C & D also includes about 10,000 SF of retail space, as well as an adult day care, and strata rec centre.  The rezoning application proposes no change to the amount of commercial space, and includes an expanded Neighbourhood House referenced above.

Woodbridge Properties has submitted their formal application to develop a rental apartment project on a site at 3131-3137 St. Johns Street, on the South side of the street between Moray Street and James Road. The site is located 600 metres from Inlet Centre Station. The application, first introduced to the public last summer, requires an OCP amendment, rezoning and development permit, and will now go forward for council’s consideration.

Plans call for a new 6-storey building that includes:

• 142 rental apartment units;
• 6 studios, 59 one-bedrooms, 72 two-bedrooms and 5 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 3.20 FAR;
• 180 underground parking spaces;
• A total building height of 60.4 ft;
• An on-site children’s amenity space.

We are pleased to introduce this unique West End infill development site. This is a great opportunity for those looking to build a boutique 6-unit project, or for a buyer seeking a large personal residence close to Stanley Park. There is an approved DP in place subject to prior-to conditions; this allows for immediate development and/or minor design changes to suit the buyer.
