Advocating for reasoned, inclusive, sustainable policies and initiatives for West Vancouver

Support the most significant housing initiative in Ambleside for a generation

Public Hearing
Monday, June 24, 2024, at 7 pm West Van Municipal Hall

Support the proposal for a vibrant, new apartment area in Ambleside at a Public Hearing on Monday, June 24, 2024, at 7 pm at West Vancouver Municipal Hall. The apartment area proposal has the potential to become the most significant housing initiative in Ambleside for a generation delivering:

  • Rent-to-own, co-op, or rental infill on large sites to preserve existing rental buildings

  • Expanded seniors’ housing on existing age-restricted sites to accommodate our aging population

  • A mix of unit sizes on all sites to provide for different housing needs/life stages

  • Strata apartment renewal on low-rise sites surrounded by existing mid/high-rise

  • Townhouses on narrow waterfront lots

  • Replenished/new community spaces combined with rental, or strata if 30% of the floor area is below-market rental

  • Ownership, live-work, rental, 30% below-market rental combined with strata, rent-to-own, seniors – all on the entire 1800 block of Marine Drive

  • The use of District-owned lands to meet housing needs
