City of North Vancouver has sent to public hearing a development application to rezone 115 East Keith Road to allow a rental building.
Cascadia Green Development has submitted a development application to rezone the property, located directly south of Victoria Park.
It directly fronts on East Keith Road and East 6th Street.
The proposed development is six storeys from East Keith road and eight storeys from East 6th Street.
There are seven full storeys of rental units proposed on top of two levels of parking and storage, and elevators and stairs will provide access to a rooftop amenity area.
The proposed rezoning would limit the permitted uses to rental apartment residential with a parking variance of two vehicles.
The new building will replace a three storey rental apartment building with a total of 23 units, all of whom are currently occupied.
The rezoning proposal was selected by CNV as a pilot of a new Development Approvals Process, which was an action identified in the Balanced Housing Lab.
The pilot approval process includes early community consultation and earlier Council consideration.
Under this pilot approval process, the application is being processed in two stages: the first stage would review the project at the concept and present to Council.
The second stage will include more detailed application drawings for staff review.
At a council meeting yesterday, staffs recommended that council refer this application to a public hearing, and for the application to proceed to detailed design development for staff review.
Hello
How much rent are for 2 bed room and 1 bed room +den
The developers, Cascadia Green, have tried to bully current tenants out since the summer even though the project is not approved and the current tenants have until August 2022 to move. They have also been dishonest and tried to silence current tenants during the “early community consultation” (i.e., only allowing one tenant to attend and denying all others), while telling the City that tenants were invited to attend. They also hid questions from current tenants/not answering them publicly during the “developers meeting”. Questions which are still unanswered months later and despite repeated attempt at having those answered. Also, even though this is just an application at this stage, the current tenants were told they would not benefit from the new tenant compensation and relocation policy adopted by the North Van Council this summer. Current residents from North Van, many born and raised here, are going through much hardship because of this. Most current tenants of this building have lived there between 11 and 44 years.
