    Neighbourhood family asked almost 2 years ago

    This rezoning application will be reviewed by Engineering staff to determine if the proposed number of residential, visitor, commercial, and loading spaces meet the requirements of the Vancouver Parking By-law.  While the ground-floor businesses will be local-serving, for those within walking or biking distance, staff recognize that providing sufficient on-site parking will also be essential.

    The proposed housing units are all market rental housing, with rents that will be determined at the time of the building’s completion (there are no subsidized units proposed).  The proposed unit mix is 17 one-bedroom units and 16 two-bedroom units, for a total of 33 units.

    Specific tenants for the future ground-floor retail spaces have not yet been chosen.  Should this application be approved, the applicant will select which businesses will occupy those retail spaces at later stages.

    Christy asked about 2 years ago

    The site is within the scope of the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan, which provides policy guidance for potential development, including the height and density that can be considered.  While the Plan anticipated a maximum height of four storeys at this location, the applicant has submitted a proposal for six storeys, for the provision of ground-floor retail spaces, and rental housing.  Staff will consider feedback from the public and Urban Design Panel as part of reviewing the application’s request for additional height.

    The applicant has not yet selected any specific tenants for the future development.  The drawings in their application package indicate ground-level retail spaces, with only suggestions for future potential businesses.
