78-Unit Project Planned for Queensborough

An application has been submitted to the City of New Westminster to amend the Official Community Plan and rezone a site at 1102-1122 Salter Street in Queensborough. The area is currently zoned and primarily developed for single family use, and this lot could be built under existing zoning for 30 houses, or rezoned under the OCP for 50 houses.

The OCP amendment is being sought to allow the development of 78 units on this 5.1 acre site, including:

• nine duplex dwellings (18 units)
• 14 row houses
• 10 compact lot houses (3,600-3,800 SF lot)
• 36 townhouses
• total density of 0.85 FSR
• secondary suites not allowed
• land dedication on the foreshore for extension of Queensbourough Permiter Trail

The architect for the project is Bernard Decosse.
