A rezoning application has been submitted for a site at 2735 E 41st Avenue in East Vancouver. The 14,382 SF C-1 zoned site is currently occupied by an older lowrise commercial building occupied by G&F Financial Group.

The proposal is to allow for the development of a 5-storey mixed use rental building under the Rental 100 policy. The proposal includes:

• 32 market rental units;
• 2 studios, 10 one-bedrooms, 14 two-bedrooms & 6 three-bedrooms;
• 6,129 SF of retail space in 5 CRUs at grade;
• A total density of 2.48 FSR;
• A building height of 49 ft.;
• 25 vehicle parking spaces and 80 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Secured Market Rental (Rental 100) Policy.

The architect for the project is Barnett Dembek Architects Inc.

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.

The latest Rental 100 application is for a site at 1265-1281 Kingsway, next door to another application from December 2019 for a 43-unit project at 1247 Kingsway.

The site is currently zoned C-2 but the rezoning would allow for the development of a 6-storey mixed-use residential building including:

• 43 market rental units;
  • 20 studios, 5 one-bedrooms, 16 two-bedrooms & 2 three-bedrooms;
• 3 retail units at grade;
• a total density of 3.70 FSR;
• a maximum height of 69 ft.; and
• 51 underground parking stalls and 89 bicycle spaces.

The application is being considered under the Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

As with the project next door, the architect for this one is Stuart Howard.
