The City Clerk announced that at the

applications #17-27 and #17-28. Upon reconsideration of the original
recommendations to forward the rezoning items to the 2018 July 24 Public
Hearing, Council voted to defeat the recommendations. The applications were
referred back to staff for discussion on further opportunities for non-market
housing within each development and to consider a rental zoning designation
for a portion of each property. As such, the Public Hearings for rezoning
applications #17-27 and #17-28 have been cancelled.

7465 14th Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in
opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Klingle expressed concerns
with the proposed zoning designation, size of the development, encroachment on existing
right of way, and increased density.
Francis
Bozza, 7551 Humphries Court, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke
in support to the proposed rezoning application. The speaker noted that
redevelopment in the area is welcoming as the current structure is in
disrepair, attracts vermin and poses a safety risk.

the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Gibble expressed concerns with removal
of trees, loss of shade and privacy, and inadequate parking. The speaker

of the applicant and address concerns raised by previous speakers. Mr. Ladva

increased density), the existing right of way will be improved with additional
landscaping and lighting, and the proposed parking exceeds City requirements.
Greg Austin, 436 Seventh Street, New Westminster,
appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning
application. The speaker expressed concerns with increased density.
Robert Klingle, 7465 14th

and recycling, and the size of the property relative to the number of units and
size of development. Mr. Klingle requested Council consider a smaller townhouse
development.
