Low-rise Condo Project Eyed for Royal Oak and Imperial

A four-storey condo project is proposed for a long-vacant site at the southeast corner of Imperial Street and Royal Oak Avenue.

The site is made up 6808 and 6826 Royal Oak Ave and 5250 Imperial St. The proposal is for a mixed-use development with ground-floor commercial space and parking underground.

Rezoning for an earlier proposal was given third reading by council in 2008 but the owner has since revised the plan, making a new process necessary.

The current proposal is for commercial on both Imperial and Royal Oak with 45 apartment units on the three upper floors.

The units will comprise 15 one-bedrooms, 10 two-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms-plus-den units and three three-bedrooms-plus-den units.

Six More Storeys for Lower Lonsdale

Another midrise, mixed use condo building is coming to Lower Lonsdale.

Developer Fairborne Properties received second and third readings to a bylaw Monday night that will allow them to build 65 one-and two-bedroom condos above 7,200 square feet of commercial frontage at 117 – 135 West First St.

At 75 feet, the six-storey, wood-framed building fits within maximum height allowed in the official community plan.

In exchange for a small increase in density, Fairbourn is offering to restore and put heritage designation on the historic B.C. Telephone Commercial Building at 117 West First, currently home to flower shop Bella Doni and include 1,430 square feet of community amenity space fronting Rogers Plaza. City staff estimate the community space to have a value of $645,000.

The application includes a request for 146 parking spots – 24 more than the minimum required by city’s zoning bylaw. Council members, mainly accustomed to being asked

by developers to reduce the total number of required spaces, struggled with the request. The reason for the extra spaces, according to the developer, is that the condos are likely going to be popular with “downsizers” moving from single-family homes and wanting to keep two vehicles.
