Jameson Development Corp. has submitted a rezoning application for the former St. Mark’s Church site in Kitsilano at 1805 Larch Street. The site was sold by Colliers in May 2018 for $11,998,000.

The 150’x 118′ site is currently zoned RT-8. The rezoning proposes to permit the development of a new 5-storey rental residential building, including:

• • 63 rental units with a minimum of 20% of the residential floor area permanently secured for moderate income households;
    • 19 studios, 16 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
  • a total density of 2.55 FSR;
  • a building height of 66 ft.; and
  • 56 underground parking spaces and 113 bicycle spaces.

This application is being considered under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program (MIRHPP). This policy requires that at least 20% of the residential floor area (of total FSR) is to be made available to households earning between $30,000 & $80,000 per annum. 

The architect for the project is Metric Architecture.

A rezoning application has been submitted for a site at 2810 and 2830 Grandview Highway; a 16,104 SF lot currently improved with an older 2-storey officed building on the South side of Grandview between Kaslo Street and Renfrew Street.

The plan calls to rezone from C-1 to allow for a new 6-storey rental apartment building under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program, which requires that 20% of the units are assigned to moderate income households.

The proposal includes:

• 57 rental units;
  • 14 studios, 23 one-bedrooms & 20 two and three-bedrooms;
• 6,990 SF of retail space at grade;
• a total density of 3.12 FSR;
• a building height of 69 ft.; 
• 41 underground parking spaces (including one car share);
• 111 bicycle spaces.
