North Vancouver housing project rejected over size and parking stalls
A housing development proposal in North Vancouver has been rejected due to its excessive size and inadequate parking plan. The project aimed to build six storeys instead of the zoned four and provided only 26 parking stalls, far below the required 74. The developer plans to revise the proposal and may conduct a transportation study to address parking concerns.
- ▪The proposed housing development was set to include 40 apartments, including seven below-market rental units.
- ▪District staff rejected the project for exceeding current planning policies regarding height and parking.
- ▪The developer is now considering a full transportation study to potentially reduce the parking requirement.
