The District of West Vancouver council has approved a proposal for a 34-unit duplex project in Eagle Harbour by Sterling Pacific Developments. This decision follows a contentious public hearing where neighbors voiced concerns about increased density, while others advocated for more affordable housing options. The approved plan replaces a previous proposal for single-family homes, offering smaller and less expensive duplexes, priced under $2 million.

The council emphasized benefits such as preserving more trees, enhancing riparian areas, and increasing park dedication. Supporters argue the project addresses the need for diverse housing options, though some councillors opposed it, citing concerns over density and community impact. Despite divided opinions, the majority of the council approved the duplex project, highlighting its potential to meet housing demands in a region with limited development space.
