Barbara Sharp absent, all members of council were not present. Approval for an Official! Com- munity Plan (OCP) update to allow a 12-storey (120-foot) highrise to be built between the 28-storey Cressey condominium tower and the 15-storey Kiwanis seniors residential building in the 100-block of West 2nd Street was passed on April! 6. The previous OCP restricted the building’s maximum height to 75 feet. But the density, which was not discussed at that meeting, was not clear to city staff or the developer. A May 26 report from city director of development services Fred Smith stated that the project developers and city staff consid- ered a floor space ratio (FSR) of 4.65 to be acceptable with the new 12-storey height approved by council. The maximum aliowable density before the OCP was amended for the site was 2.6 FSR with a 10% bonus if the developer included non-commercial, social or recre- ational amenity space in the highrise. With the bonusing, the max- imum density allowed in Lower Lonsdale is 2.86 FSR. Ald. John Braithwaite said he opposed a change to the OCP and added that he wanted to see a building on the city-owned site Wednesday, June 10, 1992 —- North Shore News - 414 Lower density proposal for highrise defeated New West 2nd Street seniors’ development ALTHOUGH A majority of North Vancouver City Coun- cil r-mbers spoke against increasing the height and deasity for a West 2nd Street seniors’ highrise, a motion to lower the density was defeated at council’s Jurie 1 meeting. By Pamela Lang Contributing Writer that conformed to the original OCP restrictions of a 75-foot height and a 2.6 FSR. But Braithwaite voted against a motion that would have limited the FSR on the site to 2.6. The motion was defeated in a 3-3 split vote. Aldermen Rod Clark and Stella Jo Dean also voted against the motion. Dean said that alihough 4.65 FSR was a bit high, she supported adensity greater than 2.6. The developer has indicated, she said, that he would be unable to build 12 storeys if he is forced to adhere to the 2.6 FSR restriction. She added that she favors the building being 12 storeys because EE NORTH VANCOUVER CITY COUNCIL it is more esthetically pleasing and compatibie with the neighborhood than a shorter building. Clack said the proposed devel- opment was innovative and desirable and that it had a loca- tion appropriate to the needs of seniors. The need for seniors’ housing, he said, should also be taken into consideration. Clark added that the 4.65 FSR plan would result in 84 units being built, while a 2.6 FSR would limit the development to 54 units. Clark also used city revenue as an argument for approval of the higher density, saying that the 4.65 FSR building would generate $1.35 million, while the 2.6 FSR would bring in only $900,000. Ald. Barbara Perrault said that although she voted in favor of the 12-storey height, she believed that the 4.65 FSR was excessive.
