units in three, 4 storey apartment buildings; and, 15 townhouses in five blocks containing 2 to 4 units, arranged along the waterfront.

South Street Development Group have applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 506 West 60th Avenue and 7645-7675 Cambie Street from RT-1 to CD-1 to allow for two 6-storey buildings rental buildings. The project would be considered under the Rental 100 program.  The proposal consists of:

• 138 secured market rental units;
• 3,500 SF of assembly church space;
• a density of 2.88 FSR;
• a maximum height 71.5 ft; and
• 90 parking spaces

Vancouver city council has approved a controversial West End neighbourhood plan that outlines development in the area for the next 30 years.

The plan aims to strike a balance between development pressures and preserving the West End’s quiet, tree-lined streets, where 45,000 people live in only 112 blocks.

It gives developers and planners a road map for the foreseeable future that permits infill development in the centre of the neighbourhood and taller towers on busy corridors around the edges.

Coun. Tim Stevenson says the city expects $600-million will be invested in the neighbourhood over the next 30 years.

“We’ll certainly see more density because we’re expecting seven- to 10-thousand more people in the next 20 years, and we obviously have to accommodate that,” said Stevenson.
