Project Statistics

This proposal is for the development of a six-storey, mixed use residential / commercial development at 3038 Commercial Drive in Vancouver. The project isbeing developed under the City of Vancouver’s Rental 100 Secured Market Rental Housing policy and the Rental Incentives Guidelines. As current zoning forthe property is Commercial Zoning C-2C1 and the application is being made under Policy 1.2 (Residential Rental Projects Requiring a Rezoning for SecuredPurpose-Built Rental Housing for projects where 100% of the residential floor space is rental) consultation with city staff has indicated that a 6-storey form ofdevelopment with a commensurate increase in density would be supportable at this location. The rezoning of 3030 - 3038 Commercial Drive from C-2C1 to aCD-1 zone proposes a 6-storey above grade building with a 2-storey parkade. The development would consist of a ground level commercial rental unit facingthe Commercial Drive street frontage, with a total of 43 residential secured rental units. The proposed development achieves an FSR of 4.24 with abovegrade FSR exclusions totalling approximately 0.66.

The design of this project is being conducted by Gair Williamson Architects.

Activating the Publicrealm: The Proposal is setwell back from the street,creating a generoussidewalk area which willbe further activated withthe addition of aCommercial Space at thislocation.

Respecting Neighbours:The Proposal providesvisual privacy toneighbouring buildings:- no windows on North /South walls;- high south wall at rooftop to prevent overlook of school- Planting screens @laneway & top level;- frosted glass balconiesprevent overlook andfocus views upwards;- deep brick piers focusviews across to Clark Parkrather than North / South.

Privacy- No overlook of the school playground on the 3070 Commercial Drive rooftop;

- Design elements which reduce overlook and improve privacy on the sidewalk include:deeplyrecessed windows; brick piers between units; and a glass canopy over the pedestrian area. People onthe sidewalk are not readily visible by unit occupants within their units.

- Design elements which reduce overlook and improve privacy to the laneway include massing of thebuilding which sets the (residential levels back from the laneway) and a dense planted screen alongthe edge of the terraces which face the laneway. People in the Laneway are not readily visible by unitoccupants within their units.

Parking- the proposed development requires fewer parking stalls than would be required to be provided for amarket development under the existing C-2C1 zoning.

- both parkade entries have been designed tomaximize visibility for exiting vehicles, with recesseddoors and chamfered corners for sight lines;

- each parkade entry / exit will be provided with awarning system to warn pedestrians of exitingvehicles.

Safety

- the proposal does not in any way overshadow the existing school playground on the rooftop of3070 Commercial Drive;

- the proposal also does not have a shadowing impact on any of the neighbouring properties withsingle family residences on E 14th or E 15th Street;

- the proposal is set back on the sidewalk with respect to the existing School Buildings, creating alarger sidewalk area than currently exists. A green wall and seating area is proposed in this area.

Gair Williamson Architects - Projects

Gair Williamson Architects was founded in 2002 and has since beenfocused on urban densification and a concern for the city as arepository of cultural memory.

We believe that densification in inner city neighborhoods leads todeeper social interaction and civic accountability. To facilitate theseaspirations, our work strives to unite the often opposing interests of thecommunity and developer and the conflicting priorities of the art ofarchitecture and the economics of the marketplace.

Of particular interest to the firm are critical explorations into the largersocial and cultural issues pertaining to the architecture of affordablehousing. Within our portfolio of housing, office, assembly andrestaurant projects we believe that pursuing the craft of architecture canresult in an architecture of lasting relevance.

A five-story, 18,800-square-foot extended-stay hotel in Vancouver’shistoric Chinatown. Adapted from a 1910 masonry and timberwarehouse that once housed the Vancouver Gas Company, theproject includes a ground-floor restaurant and three full-floor suitesin the existing shell, plus a newly constructed fifth-floor suite with anenclosed courtyard and a roof deck with a lap pool.

Originally used for housing carriages and horses, the three-story brick,stone and heavy timber Cordova Street Stables was constructed in1902and 1903. The building’s use as found was light industrial, and it had falleninto an extreme state of disrepair. The challenge for the project team wasto restore the century-old structure while adapting it effectively andeconomically to meet the contemporary needs of developing Gastown.

The Paris Block and the neighbouring Paris Annex are at the transitionfrom Downtown to Gastown on a consolidated 64 foot site. Thearchitectural program outlined the development of a 46 unit live/ workbuilding (The Paris Annex) conjoining a new 6 storey horizontaladdition - that is clearly of its time - to a 6 storey Heritage B abandonedwarehouse (The Paris Block).
