JUST LISTED – EXCLUSIVE LISTING – Grandview Woodland Development Site For Sale – 2281 E 1ST AVE Vancouver

What Does the Plan Say? • Provide ground-oriented and family housing at an appropriate scale for arterials

• Allow 3.5-storey rowhouses and courtyard stacked townhouses at 1.3 FSR, with a maximum height of 12.2 m (40 ft.)

• Require a minimum frontage of 27.4 m (90 ft.) (3 lots)

• Allow secondary rental in the form of lock-off suites

• Permit choice-of-use between commercial uses (which may include retail or service) or residential for ground floor spaces directly facing Nanaimo Street

Proposed:

Create a New Zone A new zone (district schedule) for these areas is proposed as no existing zone aligns with the Plan advice for this area.

This zone would allow 3.5-storey townhouses/rowhouses, with additional options for consideration:

• Increasing the FSR for townhouses/rowhouses from 1.3 to 1.5 supports the Housing Vancouver Strategy through providing additional ground-oriented housing units, and is a more appropriate scale for arterial streets.

• Including an option for 4-storey apartments on large sites would provide additional housing units and housing choice, and the apartment form is a better building type for at grade choice-of-use on Nanaimo Street.
