Since Vestry in February, the Property Development Committee has focused on working with the District of North Vancouver on the planning application for subdivision and rezoning of the two lots for sale.
Last week, Erica, our architect, and Rev. Sharon made an important presentation to the District’s Heritage Advisory Committee about our proposal to dismantle the Gower Hall. The DNV planners had made this step a requirement in their ongoing review of our preliminary planning application. Our presentation was very well received by the 8-member committee, and they passed a resolution supporting our proposal. We now look forward to the District’s formal response to our planning application, after which we will have a clearer picture of the next steps and timeframe for the proposed land sale and start of our refurbishment project.
