Human Studio Architecture + Urban Design’s rezoning application for 2336-2366 Charles Street — the southwest corner of the intersection of Nanaimo Street and Charles Street — seeks to redevelop four single-family residential structures.
The unit mix of the new multi-family residential building is 31 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom units, and nine three-bedroom units. Two dozen of the two- and three-bedroom units will be townhouses, including several units that face the laneway.
Along the building’s ground-level frontage with Nanaimo Street, five retail and restaurant units will offer a combined total of 8,234 sq. ft. of commercial space, adding to the immediate area’s retail street frontage.
Two underground levels will be used for 64 vehicle parking stalls.
The proponent is seeking to build a total floor area of 54,562 sq. ft., providing the project with a floor space ratio density of 3.2 times the size of its lot.
The form of the redevelopment is permitted under the city’s Grandview-Woodland Community Plan.
