More Units Proposed for Arbutus Village Project

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.

Redevelopment Plan Emerges for Jewish Community Centre Site

A full rezoning application has been submitted for the 3.3 acre Jewish Community Centre and Louis Brier Homes property at 950 West 41st Avenue, just East of Oak Street.

The plan calls to amend the existing CD-1 zoning to allow a phased redevelopment of the property that became possible under the Oakridge Transit Centre Policy Statement adopted by the City in 2016 in order to facilitate the eventual redevelopment of the Oakridge Transit Centre site across the street. The Jewish Community Centre site is located directly across the street to the South and was also redesignated given it’s adjacency.

Details of the rezoning proposal include:

  • A 9-storey replacement Jewish Community Centre, including:
    • recreation space, including pools and gyms;
    • ground level commercial space;
    • an Early Childhood Education Centre, including 104 private daycare spaces;
    • cultural arts, auditorium, and theatre space;
    • non-profit office space; and
    • a height of 121 ft..
  • A 13-storey replacement Louis Brier Home and Hospital Seniors Care Facility, with:
    • senior assisted living, complex care and memory care beds; and
    • a height of 158 ft..
  • A 24-storey rental apartment tower with:
    • 160 secured market rental units;
    • 64 studios, 40 one-bedrooms, 40 two-bedrooms and 16 three-bedrooms;
    • a height of 250 ft.

Underground parking, with 693 vehicle parking spaces and 250 bicycle parking spaces, is proposed. The application proposes a total density of 4.47 FSR.

The architect for the project is Acton Ostry Architects.
