From:
M1 Manufacturing District and M2 General Industrial District
To:

No letters were received in response
to the proposed rezoning application.
The following speakers appeared
before Council and spoke to the proposed rezoning application:
|
Joel
Gibbs,
7777 12th Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and spoke in
support of the proposed rezoning application. The speaker noted that the
development is close to the SkyTrain station and requested that Council
reconsider parking requirements mandated by the City, reduce parking for the
development to encourage use of public transportation and support more
sustainable land use.
Natasha
Silva,
#41-7128 Stride Avenue, Burnaby, appeared before Council and noted that
frequent road closures of Prenter Street by the film studios can be disruptive and
unsafe to cyclists who use Irmin Street as a detour. With construction and road
closures, Ms. Silva expressed additional safety concerns for cyclists, as BC
Parkway in this area is a narrow, gravel path. The speaker requested
improvements to BC Parkway to accommodate needs of cyclists and their safety.
Yogesh
Sharma, 6010
Irmin Street, Burnaby, appeared before Council and expressed concern with the
development in the area due to accessibility to his neighbours’ properties. In
addition, Mr. Sharma requested that an alternative location to Irmin Street be
identified for the entrance to the underground parking, as the street is narrow
and experiences high traffic volumes. The speaker suggested Council consider
high density zoning for properties across the street from the planned
development.
