Only one building in the OV is under 3 FSR. Canada House is House is 3.8 FSR, and Kayak is over 4 FSR. In Southeast False Creek overall the densities can be quite a bit higher. James was 4.2 FSR, Opsal was 5.3 FSR, Wall Centre is 5.9 FSR, and the recently completed Pinnacle on the Park is 7.0 FSR.

Such a bad way of determining FSR! You need to consider all the road and park space provided, and that would lower the overall FSR of OV!
Brentwood mall does not have so much road dedication spaces given to the City, and its relatively low overall FSR is because of the mall space. But if you consider only the space used to build the condos: the same way you determine OV's individual buildings, then each building must have at least an FSR of 40 or above. Besides, the footprint for OV's expansion space is limited, as compared to a much higher land area for future high FSR development at Brentwood, as well as other town centres in Burnaby.
Since you know so much, what is the FSR of the lot for Solo District?
Gilmore Station development, on such a huge lot already has an FSR of at least 7.0, and when built out, would even have open spaces and view corridors: unlike claustrophobic OV.
