File Number:LU009952
Location:4501 Arthur Drive
Applicant:Paramorph Architecture Inc.


Background

A previous application for an OCP amendment to allow a 5-storey rental apartment building was submitted for this property in September, 2023 and underwent public consultation in the summer of 2024. At the February 10, 2025 Regular Meeting of Council, the applicant was directed to revise the proposal to align with the Mixed Residential (MR) land use designation.

The City of Delta has now received a revised application for the subject property. Key changes to the proposal include:

  • Reducing the height from a 5 storey apartment building to 3-storey townhouses
  • Lowering the number of residential units from 81 apartment units to 24 townhouse units
  • Decreasing the floor space ratio (FSR) from 1.48 to 1.01.

Additional information on the original application that was cancelled can be found at letstalk.delta.ca/lu009626.

Additional information on the revised application is provided below.


Project Summary

The purpose of this application is to allow for a townhouse development on Arthur Drive in Ladner. The following are key aspects of the proposal:

  • 24 townhouse units ranging in size from 1,400 ft2 to 1,585 ft2
  • Four 3-storey buildings with an FSR of 1.01
  • 2 parking spaces per unit located within enclosed garages, and 3 visitor parking spaces
  • 121 square metres of common outdoor amenity area
  • Vehicle access from Arthur Drive.

The proposal is consistent with the Mixed Residential (MR) designation under Delta's Official Community Plan 2024: Housing Our Future, which is intended for low density ground-oriented and ‘missing middle’ forms of housing focused on areas close to services and transit. A description of the MR land use designation is available in the "Applicable Bylaws and City Documents" folder on this page. Under Provincial legislation, a Public Hearing must not be held for zoning bylaw amendments for residential development that is consistent with the OCP.


Applications Required

This development proposal includes applications for:

  • Rezoning from Health Care (HC) to Townhouse Residential 76 (RT76)
  • Heritage Alteration Permit for the demolition of the existing heritage building and for the form and character of the proposed new townhouse development as the subject property is within the Ladner Heritage Conservation Area 2 (LHCA 2 - Arthur Drive).

Please note that aspects of the proposal may change as the application proceeds through the review and approval process. Images are depicted as renderings.
