A proposed housing development named Seymour River Place in North Vancouver's Maplewood Village has been rejected due to its size and inadequate parking provisions. The project aimed to introduce 40 apartments, including seven below-market rental units; however, it exceeded the zoning limit of four storeys by proposing six. Additionally, the plan included only 26 parking stalls, significantly below the 74 stalls mandated by local bylaws, which raised concerns about potential congestion on neighboring streets. Mayor Mike Little emphasized that marketing the project as suitable for those without cars does not align with historical patterns of parking overflow into local neighborhoods. The developer, Michael Geller, argued that increasing parking requirements would inflate unit costs by at least $50,000, countering the need for affordable housing. He also pointed out the availability of excellent public transit in the area. In response to the rejection, the developer is revising the proposal and considering a full transportation study that could lower the parking requirement from 74 to 36 stalls.
