Smith, BCGEU
President
The following speakers
appeared before Council and spoke to the proposed rezoning application:
Maurie Jackson, 7937 Elwell Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Jackson stated concerns regarding the impact on loss
of affordable housing and the negative
impact on displaced
residents including the ones who cannot afford to relocate or purchase newly
developed units. Mr. Jackson believes displacing existing residents is causing
emotional and financial stress to residents and that displaced residents place
an additional burden on surrounding communities to provide affordable housing
options. The speaker requested Council require developers to contribute to the
city in a way that considers the needs of all residents, and create a plan that
recognized the need for affordable housing.
Murray Martin, 1403-7235 Salisbury
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Mr. Martin requested Council consider
implementing policy options similar to the City of New Westminster to protect
rental housing. The speaker stated concerns with the loss of units and the
impact on those displaced that will now have to pay more for rent. The speaker
believes that displaced residents may become homeless due to the loss of
existing units and high rental market rates.
Tamara Stockli, 104-707 7th
Avenue, New Westminster, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Stockli requested Council consider the implications
for displaced families that cannot afford to pay rental market rates.
Rick McGowan, 4155 Sardis Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. The speaker inquired about the supplementary density
bonus associated with the rezoning application and was informed by staff that
supplementary density bonus rates are determined at the 3rd reading
of the rezoning bylaw. Mr. McGowan inquired about the potential impact of the
proposed rezoning on the assessed property values of surrounding properties.
The speaker requested Council consider putting a density limit in Metrotown and
believes the inclusion of Central Park in the density calculations skews the
density calculations. Mr. McGowan stated that with the existing development there
is a net loss of rental housing decreasing rental options for those displaced.
The speaker requested Council consider reallocating school acquisition funds to
replace existing portables with modular classrooms at Chaffey-Burke Elementary
School.
Patricia Moreno, 6525 Telford Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Moreno expressed concerns regarding the impact on
displaced residents, potential for increase in homeless population and the lack
of affordable rental housing alternatives. The speaker believes the building is
in good condition and if properly maintained could last another 20 years. Ms.
Moreno also believes that residents being displaced are experiencing stress as
they cannot afford rental market rates.
Emily Luba, 4806 Dundas Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Luba states that displaced residents have no place to
go as there are no rentals in Burnaby. The speaker believes the City’s rental
assistance program is inadequate to assist
tenants
being displaced. Ms. Luba requested Council use surplus funds to provide
affordable housing options.
Richele Greenwood, Lead – BC Acorn, 1301-527
Carnarvon Street, New Westminster, appeared before Council and spoke in
opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Ms. Greenwood stated that the
loss of 211 units, many of which contain families, will increase homelessness as
they cannot afford rental market rates.
Murray Martin, 1403-7235 Salisbury
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke for a second time. Mr.
Martin noted that many residents were unable to attend the meeting including
seniors, families with children, and those who work in the evenings.
Zoe Luba, 4806 Dundas Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Luba stated that the displacement of existing residents
will increase homelessness, negatively impact the sense of community, and it does
not benefit all residents. The speaker believes that existing residents are
harmed psychologically and physically as a result of displacement.
Linda Noel, 6645 Dow Avenue, Burnaby,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. The speaker shared a story about a family struggling to find a new
home while supporting a hospitalized child and requested Council consider the
impact of displacement on families.
Reinhard Schauer, 201-5868 Olive Avenue, Burnaby,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. Mr. Schauer opposes developments that are not purpose built rental
units. The speaker requested Council increase the rental to non-rental unit
ratios and require developers to build purpose built rental buildings. Mr.
Schauer would like the City to strive towards a 3% vacancy rate and requested
an independent review of the Metrotown area to identify the needs of the
community.
Rick Erb, 103-6555 Bonsor Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. Mr. Erb requested Council consider creative ways to zone for
affordable housing such as inclusive zoning in new condo developments. The
speaker believes the displacement of existing residents will increase
homelessness and the number of people living in parks and forested areas. Mr.
Erb requested Council consider affordable housing options implemented by
Austria.
Alyssa Kirkham, 103-520 11th
Street, New Westminster, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. The speaker stated concerns with the general
lack of affordable housing options and the negative impact on workers who
cannot afford to take a sick day as they may not be able to make rent as a
result.
Kari Michaels, BCGEU, 2875 East 25th
Avenue, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Michaels stated that there are no available
affordable rental units in Burnaby and displaced residents have no place to go.
Some BCGEU members will be displaced and are working more than one job to pay
for rent. BCGEU members support vulnerable community members, the homeless, and
women fleeing violence. The speaker believes displacement on residents and
members is impacting BCGEU employee’s ability to provide vital social services
to the community.
Drew Weselak, 3831 Clarke Drive,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application.
Bruce Flemming, 16-7553 Humphries Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Flemming believes displacement will increase
homelessness and negatively impact children. The speaker stated a need for
adequate social housing for seniors, families and those on fixed incomes. Mr.
Flemming requested Council develop affordable housing that is adequate for
families, safe and provide a healthy living environment.
Craig Jorgensen, Generation Squeeze, 2488
29th Avenue, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in
opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Jorgensen referenced the
City’s Social Sustainability Plan’s (SSP) principles and does not believe the
Metrotown Downtown Plan reflect the values outlined in the SSP. The speaker
requested Council develop affordable rental units.
Mary Hilton, 309-4411 Grey Street,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Hilton referenced comments made by displaced residents
and families and believes housing is a human right. The speaker requested
Council create a shelter for disabled people, low income families and seniors
that have no place to go, and focus on building homes for displaced residents.
Ivan Holmes, 111-6508 Silver Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Holmes stated that the displacement of existing
residents will negatively impact the sense of community in the Metrotown area.
The speaker believes that many of the new condos are not occupied. Mr. Holmes
inquired about the City’s ability to zone for rental housing and requested
Council rezone existing rental properties to protect
existing rental stock or
consider housing policies similar to the City of New Westminster such as
imposing a moratorium on condo development that would result in the loss of
rental units. Displaced residents are leaving Burnaby as they find more
affordable rental units in other communities.
Earl Pollitt, 105-6031 Wilson Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Pollitt stated concerns regarding the loss of
affordable rental housing and the negative impact on displaced residents and
seniors including an increased risk of homelessness.
Talwinder Sidhu, 510-9877 University
Crescent, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Mr. Sidhu stated that communities support
individuals and families and believes that displacement will erode vital
community networks. The speaker shared concerns about the social impact of
displacement on the long term health and well-being of children. Mr. Sidhu
believes children need to be supported early in life to ensure they grow up to
be healthy adults. Parents that are focused on paying their bills may inhibit
their children’s ability to reach their full potential.
Derek Sahota, Teaching Support Staff
Union, 118-9191 University Crescent, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke
in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Sahota stated concerns
about people being displaced; specifically workers who can’t afford to live in
the community anymore. The speaker believes the proposed condos will be
unaffordable to the majority of Burnaby residents considering median income
statistics. Mr. Sahota believes displaced residents will relocate to other
municipalities, eroding the local community.
Laure Revaux, 1227 East 13th
Avenue, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition of the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Revaux noted the displacement of existing
indigenous people, single parents, youth and elders will lead to the loss of
important collective histories. The speaker believes many residents were unable
to attend the Public Hearing as they were working or had to care for children
at home.
Penny Oyama, 102-7058 14th
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Oyama stated concerns with the negative
impacts on displaced residents as the cost of available market rate rental
units is far greater than what residents are presently paying.
Nancy Whiteside, 506 Garfield Street, New
Westminster, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Whiteside stated concerns regarding the negative
impact of housing policies that permit displacement on surrounding
municipalities.
Judy Fleming, 6696 195th Street,
Surrey, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Fleming stated that some women fleeing violence that
are temporarily living in transition homes are unable to find affordable
housing. In some cases, women unable to find housing return to their abusers
placing themselves and their children at risk of harm.

The following speakers appeared
before Council and spoke to the proposed rezoning application:
Noshire Balsara, 1503-5967 Wilson
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. The speaker stated concerns regarding the
negative impact of construction on residents and the impact of population
densification on traffic congestion.
Stephen Samuel, 1941 East Broadway,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Samuel referenced the Community Charter and
requested Council prioritize the needs of the community. The speaker believes
the displacement of existing residents will increase homelessness.
Councillor Dhaliwal
left the Council Chamber at 8:57 p.m.
Maurie Jackson, 7937 Elwell Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Jackson stated that some residents were unable to
attend the Public Hearing for various reasons and that current and proposed
rezonings are creating a hostile community environment. The speaker requested
Council require developers to cater to the needs of all Burnaby residents and
create a plan that will provide affordable housing.
Councillor Dhaliwal
returned to the Council Chamber at 9:00 p.m.
Kimberly Thomson Suzuki, 6128 Patterson Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and stated concerns with the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Suzuki does not support the increased privatization
of spaces (such as gardens and playgrounds) and the exclusion of residents
from private property. The speaker requested Council maintain the sidewalk
along Wilson Avenue as it is a walkway to Chaffey-Burke Elementary School and
is a safe route to school.
Marouf Rabib, 310-5979 Wilson Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. The speaker stated displaced residents are facing
discrimination when seeking new housing and requested Council and the
Provincial Government provide greater assistance to tenants and build
affordable housing units.
Pooja Batti, 106-5179 Wilson Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Batti believes increased rents will decrease the
ability of parents to financially support their child/children’s post-secondary
education. Children unable to afford post-secondary school may be required to
choose between housing security and education.
Earl Pollitt, 105-6031 Wilson Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Pollitt stated that Wilson Avenue is seeing an
increase in development that is resulting in the displacement of existing
residents. The speaker stated concerns with construction noise, traffic
congestion and is concerned increased noise will impact his ability to
conduct business at home. The unaffordability of the rental market is
negatively impacting displaced residents mental health, impeding access to
local health services and diminishing the diversity of the community.
Patricia Moreno, 6525 Telford Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Moreno believes the proposed tenant assistance plan
is insufficient to aid displaced residents and is concerned about the
displacement of families and dogs.
Daniel Lewis, 6969 Fredrick Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Lewis stated the proposed rezoning will displace
residents contravening the right to housing identified as a human right by
the United Nations. The speaker believes existing rental units are not
being maintained with the intent to force residents to seek alternative
housing. Mr. Lewis believes displaced residents cannot afford to relocate
temporarily while they seek more permanent housing and are at risk of
becoming homeless.
Rick McGowan, 4155 Sardis Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. McGowan requested Council consider inclusionary
zoning that supports the development of buildings that offer both owner and
renter housing options. The speaker requested Council reallocate recreation
infrastructure capital funds such as those earmarked for ice rinks in South
Burnaby, and increase the percentage of density bonus money (dedicated to
housing) to facilitate the development of affordable housing.
Fred Hinmueller, 6939 Gray Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Hinmueller does not believe current housing
policies are effective and requested Council consider alternatives.
Reinhard Schauer, 201-5868 Olive Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Schauer does not believe the community was
appropriately consulted in the development of the Metrotown Downtown Plan.
The speaker requested Council support an independent review of the Metrotown
Downtown Plan to determine what actions/policies may be required to ensure
the protection and maintenance of an inclusive downtown centre.
Kari Michaels, BCGEU, 2875 East 25th
Avenue, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Michaels requested Council impose a
moratorium on demolitions until the housing crisis has abated. The speaker
stated that some BCGEU members were unable to attend the Public Hearing due
to work and family responsibility conflicts. Displaced residents have little
to no choice but to rent homes they cannot afford and are working more than
one job to pay their rent. Ms. Michael believes displacement is negatively
impacting families as children may need to change schools, and inadequate
rental options for families leading to overcrowding.
Derek Sahota, Teaching Support Staff
Union, 118-9191 University Crescent, Burnaby, appeared before Council and
spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Sahota
referenced the City’s Social Sustainability Plan (SSP) and does not believe
current housing policies reflect the statements contained in the SSP.
Richele Greenwood, 1301-527 Carnarvon
Street, New Westminster, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to
the proposed rezoning application. Ms. Greenwood believes lack of affordable
housing options in Burnaby are forcing residents to spend a significant
percentage of their income on housing. The speaker requested Council
implement a moratorium on demolitions to prevent the continued displacement
of existing residents.
Ivan Holmes, 111-6508 Silver Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Holmes stated concerns regarding the capacity of
existing infrastructure to accommodate increases in waste water volume, and
drinking water demand. The speaker does not believe the proposed tenant
assistance program provides enough financial support to residents to offset
the negative impacts of displacement. Mr. Holmes requested Council consider a
moratorium on demolitions and development, take action to slow the overall
pace of development, and consider the implementation of a population cap
thereby encouraging immigrants/migrants to seek housing in less populated
areas of the province.
Penny Oyama, 102-7058 14th
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Oyama requested Council consider
increasing population densification in industrial areas as an alternative to
Metrotown.
Murray Martin, 1403-7235 Salisbury Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Martin requested Council consider increasing
density in locations other than Metrotown and stated many residents have
already left Burnaby as they have secured housing elsewhere.
Councillor
Calendino left the Council Chamber at 9:55 p.m.
Councillor
Calendino returned to the Council Chamber at 9:57 p.m.
Councillor McDonell
left the Council Chamber at 9:59 p.m.
Councillor McDonell
returned to the Council Chamber at 10:01 p.m.
Ivan Holmes, 111-6508 Silver Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council for a second time. Mr. Holmes requested
Council take action to stop the rezoning applications and subsequent
demolitions as existing residents cannot afford to live in Burnaby if they do
not have access to affordable housing.
Reinhard Schauer, 201-5868 Olive Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke for a second time. Mr. Schauer
believes the population projections communicated by the City are inaccurate
and therefore the proposed development is unwarranted.
Councillor Wang
left the Council Chamber at 10:07 p.m.
Stephen Samual, 1941 East Broadway,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Samual requested Council consider rezoning less
dense areas of the City and refrain from increasing density in Metrotown. The
speaker requested Council consider policy options that would protect existing
rental housing stock while also accommodating projected increases in
population.
Zoe Luba, 4806 Dundas Street, Burnaby,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. Ms. Luba criticized the Metrotown Downtown Plan’s public
consultation processes, stating that survey responses were minimal and
engagement opportunities were only offered in English.
Councillor Wang
returned to the Council Chamber at 10:11 p.m.
Emily Luba, 4806 Dundas Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Luba requested Council consider subsidizing housing
with tax revenues to ensure all residents can afford to live in Burnaby. The
speaker requested Council consider policy options that focus on the
development of affordable housing.
Chun Ling Wen, 216-5868 Olive Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Wen believes the rezoning if approved and proposed
development will negatively impact residents spiritually, physically and
mentally.

The following speakers appeared
before Council and spoke to the proposed rezoning application:
Maurie Jackson, 7937 Elwell Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Jackson believed renters are at a disadvantage when
dealing with landlords. The speaker stated concerns about his ability to find
affordable housing near his elderly mother.
Kari Michaels, BCGEU, 2875 East 25th
Avenue, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Ms. Michaels believes Burnaby is experiencing
a housing crisis and requested Council not approve the proposed rezoning
application. The speaker referred to a housing report co-authored by the
BCGEU that purports high-rise development increases housing speculation and
is contributing to the unaffordability of the housing market. Ms. Michaels
requested Council develop rental housing, create temporary housing for
displaced residents and require developers to provide affordable units in
newly developed buildings.
Paul Holden, 6350 Willingdon Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Holden requested a temporary sidewalk be installed
during the construction phase of the development, and street lighting be
increased for safety reasons. The speaker stated that many newly developed
units are vacant and local businesses are struggling. Mr. Holden requested
Council suspend development, address issues of under occupancy, and consider
policy options that would see the community benefit equal the benefits
realized by the developers.
David Newfeld, 306-1723 Victoria Drive,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Newfeld is concerned about the negative impact on
displaced residents and requested Council use surplus money to purchase
apartments on the lower floors of existing buildings and make them available
to displaced residents at affordable rates.
Camilla Alexeera, 107-6366 Cassie Avenue, Burnaby,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. Ms. Alexeera believes displaced residents cannot afford market
rate rentals and that high rents are pushing working people below the poverty
line. The speaker shared concerns regarding children that may need to change
schools if their families move out of the community. Ms. Alexeera stated the current
building is in good condition and with some basic maintenance could last for
many more years. The speaker believes many new buildings are not fully
occupied, and Metrotown parks sit empty because families can’t afford to live
in the community.
Erika Schinzel, 312-6366 Cassie Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition of the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Schinzel believes the building to be in good
condition and has a nice garden. The speaker requested Council protect rental
buildings as displaced residents may relocate farther away facing increased
transportation costs and disconnection from their community network. Ms.
Schinzel requested Council consider developments in alternative areas to
Metrotown.
Bruce Flemming, 16-7553 Humphries
Street, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application. Mr. Flemming stated concerns regarding the
height of the building and emergency services ability to responds to
emergency events (such as a fire or earthquake). The speaker requested
Council consider buildings that are of a reasonable height to ensure public
safety.
Reinhard Schauer, 201-5868 Olive Avenue, Burnaby,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. Mr. Schauer believes the building to be in good condition and
with proper maintenance could potentially last for an additional 20 years.
The speaker requested Council require developers to provide an independent
assessment that speaks to the condition of the home and not permit the
demolition of a building until it has reached its end of life.
Steven Samuel, 1941 East Broadway,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Mr. Samuel requested Council consider rezoning lower
density properties (such as single family residences) instead of existing
Metrotown apartment buildings.
Derek Sahota, Teaching Support Staff
Union, 118-9191 University Crescent, Burnaby, appeared before Council and
spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Sahota believes
working class residents can no longer afford to live in Burnaby and requested
Council provide affordable housing to working people allowing them to live in
the communities they support.
Murray Martin, 1403-7235 Salisbury
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application.
Emily Luba, 4086 Dundas Street,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning application. Ms. Luba expressed concerns regarding the negative
impact on residents that are being displaced.
Penny Oyama, 102-7058 14th
Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the
proposed rezoning application.
