The District of West Vancouver has received a Preliminary Development Proposal for developing 5768 Larson Avenue through a Heritage Revitalization Agreement. The property is known as the Stewart-Lough House.
The proposal includes subdividing the property into two lots and building an infill house to incentivize the conservation and legal protection of the existing heritage house. The council will consider a Heritage Designation Bylaw, which would provide for the ongoing legal protection of the heritage resource.
The council must approve all Heritage Revitalization Agreement applications, though this proposal has not been formally submitted and is still within the preliminary development application stage.
Preliminary public consultation meeting
The applicant will host a preliminary public consultation meeting on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, at the West Vancouver Library (Cedar Room) from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The applicant will give a short presentation at 5:30 p.m. followed by a discussion and questions session.
The Stewart-Lough House is a 1957 simple two-storey wood frame, post and beam house located atop a steep rocky hillside of the Eagle Harbour neighbourhood. The property is valued for its environment, the style of the house, and its association with the Stewart-Lough family. The Stewart-Lough House is listed on West Vancouver’s Community Heritage Register and is eligible for municipal conservation tools and incentives enabled under the Local Government Act.
This is not a District-led public consultation; the applicant will host it.
