Onkar Sharma
Re:
Rezoning Application for 5486 - 5580 Marine Drive
Speakers: Onkar Sharma, Alok
Kansal, and John O'Sullivan
|
|
|
Mr. Onkar Sharma, Mr. Alok Kansal
and Mr. John O'Sullivan, representing Iskcon Burnaby (Hare
Krishna Temple), appeared before the Committee regarding the rezoning of the
organization’s properties at 5486 - 5580 Marine Drive in South Burnaby.
|
Mr. Sharma provided
an overview of the site which is approximately 8.4 acres and comprised of R2,
P2 and A2 zonings. The R2 area, fronting Marine Drive, is the subject of the rezoning
application.
The delegation outlined the
proposed multi-family three-storey affordable housing building with underground
parking, and noted the following:
·
no ALR
land is involved;
·
the
visible height of the proposed multi-family building from Marine Drive is only
2 storeys due to the downward slope of the property;
·
current
use is multi family, non-conforming, with 21 housing units in poor condition;
·
the
local religious community needs more housing near the temple;
·
change
in traffic impact would be minimal; and,
·
the
development would beautify the area and use sustainability principles.
The speakers advised the
plan is to build roughly 100 units with 33% for sale, 33% rental, and 33% for
devotees. Money from sales would be used to build a new temple to accommodate
the growing congregation.
Arising from discussion,
the following motion was introduced:
