Bogner Developments has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 12,458 SF site on East Boulevard between West 46th and West 47th. The plans for the C-2 zoned site are for a five-storey building including:

• 21 residential units on the first through fifth floors;
• two commercial retail units on the first floor and mezzanine;
• 46 parking spaces in an underground garage;
• overall density of 3.08 FSR (38,357 SF);
• building height of 57.51 feet;
• retention and restoration of the façade of the existing 2-storey commercial building.

Existing Heritage Facade/Building

“In order to achieve the development that is proposed, City Council will be asked to consider a Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA), which would approve the form of development and vary the provisions of the Zoning and Development By-law in order to enable this development to proceed. This HRA, as well as the municipal designation of the existing heritage building, will secure the rehabilitation of this heritage resource, and assist in its long-term preservation.”

Rositch Hemphill is the architect for the project.

The site was acquired by Bogner in December 2013 for $5,318,756, or $139 per buildable SF based on the density in the application.

Bogner Development has submitted a new rezoning application for the church property it owns in Kerrisdale at 2095 West 43rd Avenue (East Blvd and West 43rd Ave).

Bogner had filed an application in January for a 6-storey, 56-unit rental apartment building at 3.25 FSR. After community feedback, that proposal was withdrawn last month.

The new proposal is for a 4-storey condo building that includes:

• 17 residential units;
• a density of 2.30 FSR;
• commercial uses at grade; and
• 27 underground parking spaces.

Plans for a rental building in Kerrisdale that were submitted earlier this year, have now been withdrawn.

Bogner Development Group had proposed rezoning on the church site for a 6-storey, 56-unit rental building. A notificaiton on the City’s website indicates that Bogner is withdrawing the proposal:

“After review of the public feedback provided through the application process, the applicant has decided to withdraw rezoning application for a 6-storey secured market rental building on this site. The applicant is now working with staff to review potential options for the site.”

The rezoning would have been one of the first under the Interim Policy for Affordable Housing, and at 6-storeys, would’ve also been taller than most proposals under existing zoning in Kerrisdale.

Here is what was proposed:
