Delta council later this month will consider a rezoning application for the site of a once popular neighbourhood pub.
On the agenda for the July 22 meeting, the application by CJ Grewal and One20 Development Group Ltd. would see the Sundowner Pub building, located near the corner of 64 Avenue and Scott Road in North Delta, redeveloped into a five-storey commercial building. It would have retail, office and childcare uses.
Also having underground parking, the application includes varying the minimum setback from the street centre line of 64 Avenue.
A development permit is also required to regulate the form and character of the commercial development in the Scott Road Corridor Development Permit Area.
Approval of such development permits has been delegated to the general manager of development.
Ed Podavin opened the pub in the early 1980s and ran it until his death in 2014.
His family closed it shortly after his passing.
It reopened in 2015 after Marilyn Sanders, who had run other pubs years earlier including Kennedy’s in North Delta, purchased the establishment.
She sold it to the development company in 2021 and it closed permanently.
