The public is invited to an open house taking place April 12 to discuss a proposed condo development on a single-family lot assembly at East Broadway and Garden Drive, one block west of Nanaimo.
Bucci Development and RHA Architecture have to rezone the land from RS-1 (single-family) to CD-1 (comprehensive development) to allow them to build a six-storey condo building with two levels of underground parking.
The proposed building would contain 68 market residential units, made up of:
• one studio unit;
• 39 one-bedroom units;
• nine two-bedroom units; and
• 19 three-bedroom units.
Six of the 19 three-bedroom units are large sub-penthouses on the fifth floor, and a further six are the sixth-floor penthouses that each have access to a private rooftop patio above.
The application is being made under the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan, which allows for higher densities along major arterials such as East Broadway.
Although the site is currently single-family zoning and surrounded by detached homes, the application sets out anticipated future heights of surrounding buildings, which it says fits in with the six-storey proposal.
A community open house for the public to share their thoughts and discuss the plans with City staff and the applicant team will be held on Thursday, April 12 from 5-7pm at the Croatian Cultural Centre, 3250 Commercial Drive.
