before Council and spoke to the proposed rezoning application:
Wayne Smithie, President and Asset
Manager, Martello Property Services Inc., #202-808 West Hastings Street,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in support of the rezoning
application. Mr. Smithie noted that increasing store variety in the shopping
centre will attract consumers to other existing businesses, and meet the convenience
needs of shoppers. Mr. Smithie noted that the liquor store will not be selling
cannabis.
Bert Hick, Rising Tide Consulting, #1620-1130
West Pender Street, Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in support
of the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Hick noted that, in his experience,
the store owners are very responsible, well-known, and involved in community sponsorship
and events. The proposed store will focus on BC products.
Matt Martin, Director Sales and
Marketing, Steamworks Brewing Company, 3845 Williams Street, Burnaby, appeared
before Council and spoke in support of the rezoning application. Mr. Martin
noted that Jak’s Liquor Stores throughout the province are known for their knowledgeable
employees and are committed to the communities they operate in. The speaker
advised that the store would be a welcomed addition to the neighbourhood.
Chris Lougheed, Dageraad Brewing, #114-3191
Thunderbird Crescent, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in support
of the rezoning application. Mr. Lougheed noted that his company is in
business with Jak’s Liquor Store; the store hires professional and
knowledgeable staff, and is known as a high-quality store supporting craft
beer and smaller breweries that may be excluded from BC Government Liquor
Stores.
Mike McKee, 1157 West 33rd Street,
Vancouver, appeared before Council and spoke in support of the rezoning
application. Mr. McKee noted that Jak’s Liquor Store is a family business
with 11 locations throughout BC. In his opinion, the stores provide
outstanding customer service, sell local/unique products, and support local
charities. This store will be adding employment to the community.
Fayaz Shivji and Diamond Shivji, 2186 Fell Avenue,
Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in opposition to the proposed
rezoning. Mr. F. Shivji expressed concerns about the potential for increased
crime and decreased home prices if the liquor store is allowed. Mr. D.
Shivji expressed concerns with people loitering around the area, drinking in
public, and ongoing garbage maintenance issues.
Mike McKee, 1157 West 33rd Street,
Vancouver, appeared before Council for the second time to respond to some of
the concerns raised by previous speakers. Mr. McKee noted that Jak’s Liquor
Store will cater to customers looking for unique and new specialty products of
interest to the “foodie” community. The speaker offered to provide a study
to the City on the impacts of similar stores on home values in the
surrounding community. Mr. McKee will provide the report to the Planning and
Building Department for review and consideration.
