With big developments looming and three governments involved, West Vancouver is holding an information session Wednesday on the future of the land surrounding Park Royal and along Marine Drive.
The area, bisected by the Capilano River and bordering both the District of North Vancouver as well as Squamish Nation land, could be in for big changes with three development applications in the pipeline.
Park Royal Shopping Centre has applied to build 27- and 12-storey residential buildings at 752 Marine Dr., the former White Spot restaurant site. The development, which would comprise 254 units and 25,439 square feet of commercial space, would require an amendment to West Vancouver’s Official Community Plan.
West Vancouver has also received applications for a development project at 303 Marine Dr. near Klahanie Park and another across the river at 657 and 675 Marine Dr. and 660 Clyde Ave.
Both applications are undergoing revisions.
The District of North Vancouver approved two projects near Klahanie Park in 2014 as part of its Lions Gate Town Centre plan. Council voted in favour of 19- and 23-storey buildings at 2010 Marine Dr. as well as 18- and 12- storey towers at 2035 Fullerton Ave.
The open house is set for the gym at St. Anthony elementary at Christ the Redeemer Church on 595 Keith Rd. The meeting is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. and wrap up at 8 p.m.
