Staburn Group have submitted a rezoning application for a 12,000 SF site at 119-123 East 2nd Street in the Lower Lonsdale area of North Vancouver. The site is currently improved with two small commercial buildings.
The site is designated Mixed Use Level 4A (High Density) (MU4A) in the Official Community Plan. This designation allows for a mix of commercial and residential use with a maximum density of 3.6 FSR (including 1.0 bonus FSR) and a maximum height of 8-storeys.
The proposal envisions a 7-storey condo building with commercial uses on the ground floor.
Here is a look at some of the current preliminary development proposals that are in the works in the District of North Vancouver.
1080 Marine Drive
Staburn Group is planning a new 4-storey residential and retail building on this site which has been a Blueshore Financial location.
The proposal includes 32 condos above 6,896 SF of retail space with 76 parking spaces (62 for residents, 14 for retail customers). The Official Community Plan designates this site as Commercial Residential Mixed-Use Level 1 (CRMU1). The total proposed density is 1.75 FSR.
Staburn acquired the site from Blueshore in 2017 for $7,600,000.
1235 Marine Drive
This former Subaru dealership is proposed to be redeveloped to allow a new 4-storey condo above retail project consistent with the OCP for the Marine Drive corridor.
The rezoning application proposes 39 condos above 6,772 SF of retail space with 62 parking spaces. Similar to 1080 Marine Drive, the proposal seeks a density of 1.75 FAR.
This application is for an assembly of three single family lots on Sandown Place, just West of Capilano Road in the Lions Gate Village townhouse area.
The application as submitted proposes 22 townhomes in a three-storey building with 44 parking spots in an underground parkade. The total density is 1.20 FAR.
The architect for this project is Matthew Cheng Architect Inc.
2045-2075 Old Dollarton Road
A rezoning application has been submitted for this 12,368 SF site in the Maplewood Village area of North Vancouver.
The application as submitted proposes 36 condos above 4,148 SF of commercial space in a 5-storey building with 60 parking spaces (41 for residents, 9 for visitors, 10 for retail customers). The total density is 2.50 FAR.
The owner of this heritage fourplex on Edgemont Boulevard between Edgemont Village and Capilano Road has submitted a prelinary application to redevelop the site.
The application proposes relocating the existing heritage fourplex on the site, and then adding either:
an additional 25 duplex homes (for a total of 29 homes) plus 40 parking stalls in an underground parkade, or
an additional 33 row homes (for a total of 37 homes) plus 51 parking stalls in an underground parkade
a total density of 0.84 FAR in either scenario.
In both options, the relocated fourplex would be fully restored, designated as a heritage resource, and secured as below-market rental housing for low to moderate income families for a minimum of 10 years.
An application by Staburn Property Group for a site at 101-149 Lonsdale Avenue was moved forward at City of North Vancouver Council.
The rezoning application seeks to rezone the 101-149 Lonsdale Avenue lots from their existing LL-2 Lower Lonsdale zoning to a site-specific zone to permit a six-storey mixed-use building containing 69 residential units, 10,825 SF of commercial office space, and 12,589 SF of retail space at grade.
The application further proposes dedicating the “Beasley Block” (also known as the “McDowell Block”), at the south end of the site, as a Municipal Heritage Site. The project includes five non-market residential units proposed to be owned and operated by the Vancouver Resource Society. The development includes a mix of unit sizes and types, with three junior 1-bedroom units, 36 1-bedroom units, 27 2-bedroom units and three 3-bedroom units. The net density is 3.5 FAR.
