49-Unit Project Planned for Brighouse Village Area

LW & Chen Development has applied to rezone a 26,142 SF site near the corner of Cooney Road and Park Road in Richmond. The plan calls for a rezoning under the Brighouse Village (City Centre) zoning to allow a 49 unit mid-rise and townhouse complex.

The site is located in the Urban Centre T5 zone, which allows a maximum of 1.2 FAR plus a bonus of 0.8 FAR which is conditional upon compliance with the Affordable Housing Strategy

Project details include:

• Consolidation of three lots (6740 Cooney Road, 6731 Eckersley Road and 6751 Eckersley Road)
• 41 apartment units, 8 townhouses all above underground parking
• A total density of 2.0 FAR
• 6-storey midrise building with 3-storey townhouses
• Contribution of cash in lieu of affordable housing (less than 80 units)
