During the past few months, several rezoning and development permit applications for the Southeast False Creek and Vancouver Olympic Village neighbourhoods have been filed. Over the next four or five posts, we're going to take a look at what's been going on up until now.
The following map (click for a larger image) shows the entire SEFC development site, with the Olympic Village marked as parcel number 1.
The other properties on this map, numbered 2 to 7, are privately-owned parcels of land, for which developers have already submitted re-zoning applications, although in most cases, they have not yet filed development permits.
Based on our review of re-zoning and development permit applications for the entire SEFC site, including the Olympic Village, we've counted 28 proposed buildings so far, which include a total of 1646 condo units.
However, we estimate that there are actually more than 2000 condos among these proposed buildings, as the rezoning applications for SEFC parcels 5 and 7 do not provide complete unit totals.
As might be expected, the City has given priority to the Olympic Village parcels, which have begun to move through the development approval process - special meetings with the Urban Design Panel are scheduled for tomorrow, January 9th.
We'll have more details on the Olympic Village development in our next post, with additional coverage of the other SEFC properties to follow next week.
Looking forward to this project, hopefully they build it up in stages and not all at once, we need to get the msg out that there is no 2010 deadline for absolutely everything. Pace ourselves.
