A Public Hearing (Zoning) was held in the Council Chamber, Burnaby City Hall, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. on Tuesday, 2017 April 25 at 7:00 p.m.

1)

Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965,

Amendment Bylaw No. 14, 2017 - Bylaw No. 13735

Rez. #16-14

9411 and 9755 University Crescent

From:        CD Comprehensive Development District (based on P11e SFU Neighbourhood District)

To:             Amended CD Comprehensive Development District (based on the P11e SFU Neighbourhood District and SFU Community Plan as guidelines, and the development plan entitled “The Slopes Parcel 31, SFU – UniverCity” prepared by Perkins + Will Architects Canada Co.)

The purpose of the proposed zoning bylaw amendment is to transfer residential density potential from 9411 University Crescent to 9755 University Crescent, permit construction of an expanded community park at 9411 University Crescent; and permit construction of a low rise apartment building with attached garden townhomes, three townhouse buildings, and underground parking at 9755 University Crescent.

The subject rezoning application, Rezoning Reference #16-14, references a development plan that proposes subdivision of Lot 31 into two smaller lots.  A revision to the development plan is now proposed by the applicant to retain a single Lot 31.  The proposal does not change the building form, overall site density or any other aspect of the development plan submitted to the Public Hearing.  With consideration of this revised proposal, subdivision of Lot 31 into two lots would no longer be a condition of this rezoning.
