|
|
Rez. #16-03
1431 Sperling Avenue
From: CD Comprehensive Development
District (based on C1 Neighbourhood Commercial District and P1
Neighbourhood Institutional District)
To: R4 Residential District
The purpose of the proposed zoning
bylaw amendment is to permit development under the R4 Residential District.
|
The Advisory
Planning Commission advised it supports the rezoning application.
No letters were received in
response to the proposed rezoning application.
The following speakers
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application:
Olga Maltseva, 6783 Napier Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed bylaw
amendment. The speaker advised her son attends the Montessori daycare currently
located in the existing building, and is concerned about securing daycare for
her child. Mr. Maltseva believes that the loss of the building will
result in a decrease in quality of life for surrounding community members as
the businesses contained in the building will be lost.
Ron Basaera, 4806 Main Street,
Vancouver, appeared before Council representing the applicant. Mr. Basaera
stated that the building is old and the existing daycare does not have the funds
necessary to address building deficiencies required to continue daycare
operations. The applicant is willing to extend the vacancy notice period for
the daycare to allow them additional time to secure a new location.
Mr. Basaera spoke to the financial viability of the existing retail spaces and
stated that competition from nearby shopping centres has resulted in decreased
demand for retail space in the building, leading to high vacancy rates.
Joel Whittemore, 6778 Grant Place,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and requested clarification as to how the City
determined that the proposed zoning was appropriate for the neighbourhood.
The Director Planning and
Building advised the speaker of the OCP public consultation and planning
processes, and confirmed that the proposed rezoning is consistent with zoning
practices in the surrounding community.
Olga Maltseva, 6783 Napier Street,
Burnaby, spoke for a second time, and posed questions to the developer
regarding the required building upgrades/maintenance and the viability of the
remaining business spaces.

appeared before Council seeking clarification on the proposed rezoning
application:
Paul Bailey, 1803-7328 Arcola Street,
Burnaby, requested clarification as to why the P6 District was not included in
the original rezoning application.
The Director Planning and

rezoning was considered that there was now interest in institutional use for
the property.
Mr. Bailey asked if it was
possible to restrict the type of business that could lease or purchase the
space. The Director Planning and Building informed the speaker that any uses
outlined in the P6 District would only be restricted if there were building
code issues that could not be addressed.

One letter was received in opposition
to the proposed rezoning application:
Tina Brusilo, Cosmetic Manager,
Shoppers Drug Mart, 104-3433 North Road, Burnaby.
The following speakers appeared before
Council and spoke to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment:
Hajera Baqi, Shoppers Drug Mart, 104-3433
North Road, Burnaby, appeared before Council and shared concerns regarding the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Baqi stated that the December 2016 construction
start date will negatively impact the existing businesses during the holiday
season. Ms. Baqi posed questions about the ventilation of the space and a
potential loss of parking from construction activities.
Peter Hirny, 590 Whiting Way,
Coquitlam, appeared before Council and stated that the on-site rezoning signage
was not appropriately located on the subject property. Mr. Hirny showed Council
a photo on his camera of the onsite signage attached to a street light standard
facing the road. The location of the sign made access to the information
contained therein difficult as the light standard directly abutted the roadway.
Christa Wilcock, 1600-650 West Georgia
Street, Vancouver, appeared before Council representing the property owners. Ms.
Wilcock stated that construction would be after December 2016, that parking
will be maintained for customers and that the ventilation of the enclosure
would be provided by exhaust fans and open air circulation.
