Qualicum Beach East Village Concept
The previous Council introduced the idea of a revitalized area to the east of Memorial that would include the former lumber yard/QF grocery, the East 2nd avenue town parking lot, some current industrial lands, and portions of the town’s civic works yard. This area was dubbed The East Village. The intent is that this area is to have a different character from that of the Village Neighbourhood - more contemporary and slightly industrial. Design guidelines were to be developed to guide in decision making with future development proposals. No design guidelines were developed.
The large triangular lot at Fir and East 2nd remains undeveloped and the owners seem not to be interested in any change at this time - which seems a pity.
New East Village Housing
Two different proposals for New Housing on East 2nd have been put before the Town. Both proposals involve the Town Parking Lot being sold and redeveloped as housing in conjunction with adjacent private land. Council will determine which option to proceed with.
East Village Townhomes
This proposal includes 28 up-market townhouses with a landscaped interior ‘Mews’ and street level ‘live/work’ option. This is a 2 and 3 storey development with all units being for sale at market rates. Off street parking accessed from the lane to the south is provided for all residential units.
East Village Naked Naturals
This proposal includes 32 rental apartments with an expanded Naked Naturals Grocery. This is a 3 storey development with Naked Naturals and possibly a small restaurant at street level and 2 stories of residential above. Off street parking for Naked Naturals is part of the proposal as well as off street parking for all apartments. The residential parking is accessed from the lane to the south.
