The District has received a development permit application for a large-scale multi-family development at 3900 Cypress Bowl Road.
The development proposes a 354-unit development within four apartment towers and several townhome buildings. The development also includes a private amenity building and multi-use paths open to the public. The site is zoned Comprehensive Development Zone 3 and located within the “Rodgers Creek Area Development Permit Area” within the Official Community Plan (OCP).
In November last year, the District of West Vancouver granted final approval for the Cypress Village development, clearing the way for the landmark project that includes transferring 262 acres of Eagleridge parkland to the District.
The plan includes a range of 3,711 new housing units, including market and below-market rentals, and dedicates 262 acres of Eagleridge as parkland for the community in perpetuity, along with the protection of 100 acres of green space in Cypress Village for conservation and recreation.
Over the next 25 years, the phased development will create a mixed-use neighbourhood above the Upper Levels Highway, with low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise buildings, commercial spaces, a community centre, a fire hall, space for an elementary school and a dedicated transit service funded by the British Pacific Properties.
Proposed Development Information Meeting
The applicant will hold a development information meeting on January 16, 2025, at Mulgrave School in the Senior School English Classroom from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The District’s Planning Committee will also review the development proposal on January 22, 2025, at 4 p.m. in Municipal Council Chambers.
What a disgrace.
The equivalent of Merritt BC, moving in. All pouring onto HWY#1 and onto our already gridlocked streets and bridges.
Well done WV and developers! You’ve done it to us again.
The ongoing SHAFT!
I’m glad I won’t be around in 25 years to see this development destroy the entire side of a mountain which given recent events in deep cove and lions bay. Which could potentially allow the entire mountain side to slide down the hill. I think Geo Thermal testing need to be throughly done along with a comprehensive study on the impact the added traffic would do to already packed road ways that one little fender bender brings that entire streatch of highway to a halt, before any discussions of building a monstrosity of a living habitat, not to mention water usage, electrical grid etc etc. I get we need more housing but West Van is not necessarily the right place to build it.
I agree 100% This only serves the obscene greedy. What a disgrace.
