\"Darwin<\/a>Rendering: Darwin Properties<\/em><\/p>\n

After five years in the development queue, the District of North Vancouver council voted against the Maplewood Gardens<\/a> proposal on Monday.<\/p>\n

Darwin Properties and QuadReal Property Group had teamed up on the mixed-use redevelopment, aiming to construct five buildings containing 374 condominiums, 99 market rental homes and 80 below-market rentals, as well as a retail village.<\/p>\n

The site\u2019s 4.4-acre lot \u2014 located at 2131-2171 Old Dollarton Road, west of Riverside Drive \u2014 is currently occupied by light industrial buildings and a rowhouse complex containing 58 apartment units that was built in 1972.<\/p>\n

The two-phase development would have replaced those units and transformed an entire city block, constructing North Vancouver\u2019s first mass timber residential building around a 2.9-acre central courtyard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Underground levels on the site would have accommodated approximately 600 EV-wired parking stalls and 1,000 bicycle spaces.<\/p>\n

The developers designed the proposal to meet the district\u2019s official community plan and Maplewood village centre plan, although a split council voted 4-3 to prevent the development from advancing to a public hearing.<\/p>\n

Mayor Mike Little specifically opposed the project\u2019s height, with developers envisioning a 12-storey tower as the tallest of Maplewood Gardens\u2019 five buildings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been very open with this developer from the very beginning, very early stages on this one, saying that I didn’t think tower format was appropriate for the Maplewood area,\u201d Little said.<\/p>\n

Council members also raised concerns regarding the amount of existing traffic congestion in the area and number of market-priced units included in the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 2018 election, I made a promise to vote for rental, social, supportive and affordable housing and against market housing,\u201d said councillor Jim Hanson. \u201cThere’s too much market housing and too many parking spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n
