GBL Architects has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 32 individual parcels in this block from CD-1 (220) and CD-1 (224) to a new CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District for the purpose of developing a project comprised of the following:

three residential towers being 29, 30 and 28 storeys in height on Boundary Road and Vanness Avenue, with a density of 5.50 floor space ratio (FSR);
a 6-storey, stepped building on Ormidale Street;
1,114 dwelling units;
underground parking for 1,329 vehicles with access from Ormidale Street and Boundary Road;
33,000 square feet of community amenity space to provide a social service centre and a neighbourhood house annex;
a limited amount of local-serving commercial space; and
publicly-accessible open space.

A link to the CD-1 by-laws that currently apply to the sites is included below. The two CD-1 by-laws were enacted by City Council in 1988, following development of the Expo Line. They were intended to provide a transitional buffer of development between the single-family neighbourhood and Boundary Road.

This application has been approved by Council at a Public Hearing on November 1, 2011.
