Developers planning major, 1,100 unit, mixed-use development for Arrow Heights ALEX COOPER

A major mixed-use development is in the works for Upper Arrow Heights. A package unveiled at last week’s meeting of the Advisory Planning Commission (APC) lays out the plans for Mackenzie Landing, a development that could see more than 1,000 units built on a 35-acre parcel off Nichol Road. “The idea is to build something higher density than Revelstoke is
used to, with the view that would give quality new housing at the right price, hopefully more affordable pricing to both first time buyers, retirees and recreational users from out of town,” said David Evans, who owns the land along with his wife Shelley Sharpe. Evans and Sharpe are also the developers planning on building the boutique treehouse hotel at the base of Revelstoke Mountain Resort. They recently moved to Revelstoke from Whistler. The land in question consists of
two large lots bounded by Nichol Road in the south, Upper Arrow Heights in the north, Hay Road in the east and Arrow Heights Elementary and the Arrow Drive trailer park in the west. The proposal they are pushing is for a multi-phase development that would include townhomes, condominiums, row-houses, duplexes, fourplexes and single-family lots. The plan is for high-density development along the south and east edges of the property, with density decreasing away from the
main roads. The property is currently zoned single-family residential. The developers have applied for a rezoning that would see the property turned into a comprehensive development zone, with six sub-zones for different development types. The sub-zones are described as follows: — Zones A & B, located along Nichol Road, would be mixed-use, with adaptable building types that could include residential development or small commercial spaces.
— Zone C, located in the centre of the property, would feature high-density residential buildings, such as apartments, fourplexes, sixplexes and row housing. — Zones D & E, mostly located at the north and east sides of the property, would feature mediumdensity housing, such as duplexes, fourplexes, sixplexes and row housing. — Zone F, located near Hay Road, would be low-density resi-
