Larco Investments Ltd. has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 4255 Arbutus Street (Arbutus Centre) from CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District to a new CD-1. The application proposes a phased redevelopment of the existing shopping centre site, following the 2008 Arbutus Centre Policy Statement. Proposed are four new building blocks including two new streets. The blocks on the eastern portion on the site (fronting onto Arbutus Street) would consist of two floors of retail and office, with residential development above. The blocks on the western portion on the site would be primarily residential. Proposed building heights are 6-, 7-, and 8- storeys plus mezzanine. Included within the development would be a food store, liquor store, retail and restaurant uses, offices, financial institution, an underground self storage, and a community amenity space. Residential would comprise 508 units (59,295 sq. m), of which there would be 64 seniors' rental units, 45 market rental units, and 46 potential lock-off suites. The proposal includes a 2,694 sq. m community space, 255 parking spaces for commercial, and 553 parking spaces for residential.

This application has been approved by Council at a Public Hearing on July 13, 2011.
