The City of Vancouver has another two development projects to consider: one rental proposal for Cedar Cottage and another land-assembly development in Marpole.

The City of Vancouver has another two development projects to consider: one rental proposal for Cedar Cottage and another land-assembly development in Marpole.

The rezoning application for the rental building proposes developing the site of the Cedar Cottage Pub and Neighbourhood Pub and Liquor Store, at Kingsway and Clark. The site is currently zoned C-2 Commercial.

The proposal is for a new six-storey mixed-use building, consisting of:

• 53 market rental units (10 studios, 24 one-bedroom units, 13 two-bedroom units and six three-bedroom units);

• 7,884 square feet of retail space at street level; and

• 43 underground parking spaces.

The rezoning application is being considered under the City’s Rental 100 policy, which allows for rezoning of sites under the condition that 100 per cent of the residential units in a development are secured market rental.

A public open house is scheduled for Tuesday, May 8 from 5-7pm at the Church of Nazarene, 998 East 19th Avenue.

More Marpole land assembly

Around the corner from a dual condo building proposal on a four-lot assembly at West 59th and Yukon, developer Listraor has submitted a rezoning application for a 31-unit residential development, also on a four-single-family-lot parcel.

Also facing Winona Park, this proposal is for 31 stacked townhomes in four buildings, which share a common courtyard. The design calls for single-storey homes on the ground floor, accessed from the street, with three-storey townhomes stacked above, accessed from the courtyard.

The architect behind the project is Raymond Letkeman Architects, which is the firm behind the condo building proposed for the site of what has been dubbed “Vancouver’s most haunted house.”

Under the site’s RM-9 zoning, the application for the Marpole townhome project is “conditional,” which means it may be permitted but requires the approval of the City’s planning director. Written comments on the project should be emailed or mailed to City Hall by May 14 for consideration.
