A housing proposal in Horseshoe Bay will be back before West Vancouver council in the near future.
An earlier proposal to develop 14 homes on the former site of St. Monica’s Church was rejected by council after opposition from local residents.
The District has received a new preliminary development application for a multi-family development at 6404 Wellington Avenue and 6403–6407 Nelson Avenue.
The proposal is to redevelop the site with 10 detached infill housing units, and will be considered under the Horseshoe Bay Local Area Plan.
The applicant is conducting a preliminary virtual public information meeting on Thursday, July 15, 2021 at 6 pm.
This proposal has not been formally submitted as a rezoning and is still at a preliminary application stage.
Once submitted as a formal rezoning, West Vancouver will process the application in compliance with its bylaw followed by ongoing public consultation.
According to the developer, the vision for Tantalus Gardens is a “pocket community” – a tight-knit, ten-home residential development, connected by beautiful garden spaces.
“The ten ‘lagom’ homes of approximately 1,700sf will provide at grade living, with three-to-four-bedroom layouts.”
So happy to see this back As a local resident this is a beautiful development well thought out very West Coast and will fit in wonderfully.
I’m not sure whether you’re a real person or not (I think not), but the community doesn’t want this density, which is something you don’t understand or appreciate.
Those greedy housing developers just won’t give up and go away! They don’t have a conscience. They don’t care about the community. All they care about is MONEY and their own GREED, GREED, GREED. They make me sick. I will bet they make you sick, too! Well, then, it’s time to start calling your favourite West Vancouver city councillor if you are sick of foreign and Canadian housing developers destroying the charm and environment of West Vancouver for the sole purpose of making themselves a bundle of $$$$$ – the kind of money that you will never ever ever have. And the only reason they make this big dough is because of good, but weak citizens who built this West Vancouver. All they do is destroy it with concrete. IN THE NAME OF MONEY.
We need more beautiful housing and as owners, in the GE area, we fully support 10 new homes to replace a wasted space! Beautiful designs!
I’m a resident of Horseshoe Bay and this seems like a good idea to utilize some underdeveloped space for some relatively (emphasize relatively) affordable housing.
100% support
I support the development. We need more affordable housing to attract younger families into our neighbourhood
