High-density developments waiting for final Delta go-ahead

A series of high-density developments that received preliminary approval did not have to go to a public hearing

Seven single-family residential lots will be consolidated at the 57th Street site in Ladner to allow for a 40-unit townhouse complex.

The city has wrapped up gathering a survey on an application for a four-storey apartment and a couple of townhouse buildings on a consolidated site surrounded by single-family homes in North Delta.

The proposal, which still must come to council with a staff recommendation whether it should receive preliminary approval, would see lots at 8206, 8216, 8224 and 8232 112th St., 11225 and 11237 82 Ave. and 11248 82A Avenue developed with an apartment building with 85 market strata units and 47 market rental units, as well as two three-storey townhouse buildings with 20 units.

The application requires an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment to exempt the site from the maximum height permitted in its current designation from three to four storeys. That means a public hearing is required.

South Delta developments

Meanwhile, several high-density developments throughout the city that received preliminary approval by council last year still must go back to council’s table for final consideration and adoption before getting a building permit.

Among them is an application see a 40-unit townhouse development on another consolidated site at 4876, 4888, 4896, 4906, 4918, 4928 and 4938 57 St. in Ladner. The almost 70,000-square-foot site is located one block to the north of Ladner Trunk Road. The existing single-family houses would be torn down.

The development is consistent with the site’s land use designation in the new OCP which was updated last year, so a public hearing was not held.

However, the applicant had to satisfy several requirements as a condition of final consideration and adoption.

Just down the street on Ladner Trunk Road at 53rd Street, final approval by council is also pending for a 222-unit market residential apartment development with accessory office space on the ground floor. Comprising two, six-storey buildings, the development also complied with the site’s new OCP designation.

Final approval is also pending for an application to build a six-storey condo building in the 11400-block of 84th Avenue in North Delta. That development, also meeting the new OCP designation, includes 158 residential units.

Among the other developments waiting for final council approval, and complying with the OCP, is an application for a six-storey building, which will include 84 residential units and 12,325-square-feet of commercial space, to replace a 7-Eleven at the northeast corner of 84th Avenue and 112th Street.

Also complying with the new OCP and waiting for final approval is an application for a 68-unit condo development in a six-storey building at 1219 Hunter Rd. in Tsawwassen.
