I think there will be trees on in common areas, but private balconies will have some kind of climbing plants. At the open house one of the Wetbank reps said that they are planning to use similar setup at 400 West Georgia https://vancouver.skyrisecities.com/database/projects/400-west-georgia-street.

Updated rezoning application and renderings.

The City of Vancouver has received a revised rezoning application to rezone 5055 Joyce Street from C-2C to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District under the Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Plan. The revised proposal consists of a 36-storey mixed-use development with at-grade commercial space and 360 rental residential units over four levels of underground parking and includes:

• Ground floor commercial retail units;
• 360 rental residential units including 1-floor of below-market rental housing at 20% below CMHC average rent for the neighbourhood;
• A floor space ratio (FSR) of 15.97;
• A floor area of 23,732.9 sq. m (255,457.8 sq. ft.);
• A building height of 96.1 m (315.3 ft.);
• 103 underground parking spaces, 727 bicycle spaces, and 2 Class B loading spaces.

The original proposal was for a 32-storey mixed-use building with at-grade commercial and 298 strata residential units. The applicant has proposed amendments to their original proposal including:

• Four additional floors changing from 32-storeys to 36-storeys;
• Changes to floor-to-floor heights thereby reducing the increase to the overall building height; and
• Change in tenure of the residential portion to 100% of the residential floor as secured rental housing, with 1-floor of rental housing at rates 20% below CMHC’s average rent for the neighbourhood;

The application is being considered under the Joyce-Collingwood Station Precinct Plan.

A community open house was held on November 15, 2018 from 5-8pm at the Collingwood Neighbourhood House, 5288 Joyce Street, with City staff and the applicant team available to answer questions.

At the September 15, 2020 Council Meeting, Council referred this application to Public Hearing on October 6, 2020.
