A developer is asking for small change to a large residential development proposed for Port Coquitlam's Fremont Village.
The Onni Group has submitted a rezoning bid to vary the visitor parking for its mega-housing complex at 803 and 805 Village Dr.
The company had originally submitted plans for a highrise at the site but it's now proposing two six-storey apartment buildings with a shared parking podium for the residents in the 294 units.
As a result of the redesign, Onni says it can only accommodate 20 visitor spaces — 66% fewer than the required 59 spots.
Still, city staff noted there will be ample commercial parking around the new development, located south of Sherling Avenue.
On Monday, PoCo city council discussed the application. It will be considered for first and second readings on Nov. 9, with a public hearing scheduled for Nov. 23, said Laura Lee Richard, director of development services.
Recently, the city has received a number of development proposals for Fremont Village in the Dominion Triangle. Monday, council granted final reading for a permissive tax exemption to Northside Foursquare Church, which is planning to build a place of worship at 2329 Fremont Conn.
