FH is asking for extensive changes to its currently approved plan for the Marina Village – i.e. 1000 more residential units (1600 to 2600); an indoor-outdoor theatre; reduced retail/commercial in mixed-use buildings; stand-alone commercial buildings in certain zones; parking structure height increase from 2 to 3 storeys; 300 more residential units (from current 1200 to 1500) to be built before hotel facilities are built plus modified phasing requirements; additional units to be accommodated through internal road alignments, increased on-site parking, updated phasing policies. FH is also proposing major changes to the Golf Course to permit additional ‘amenity’; recreational; conference facilities; spa, health and wellness facilities; various retail and service uses.
It is expected that the final decision on these applications will be made at a future council meeting in May.
