Dejanov stated concerns regarding: unclear information provided in the public
notice (specially the subject zone schematic), increased traffic congestion,
air pollution, noise, crime, demand on local community services, loss of
sunlight, height of the proposed buildings and the loss of views (circulated a
photo to Council of the view from her apartment and explained the impact of the
development on her existing view). Ms. Dejanov recommended the City consider lower
high-rise buildings as they would have less of a negative impact on the surrounding
community than the towers proposed.
Dimitrije Dejanov, 1503-6055 Nelson Avenue,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Mr.

Reverend Graham Brown
Miller, West
Burnaby United Church, 6050 Sussex Avenue, Burnaby, spoke in support of the
proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Reverend Miller believes that the redevelopment
of the church space is necessary to foster the growth of the congregation and will
increase access and availability of much needed program space. The speaker
confirmed that the proposed parking allocation is in compliance with City
regulations and that congregants will be encouraged to take public transit to
church services. Reverend Miller spoke to the rental units and highlighted the inclusive
and accessible design of the building and apartments. Reverend Miller also
confirmed that the existing food bank services would continue throughout the
development process as the South Slope United Church will assume the interim
operation of the service.
Stanley Lam, 907-6070 McMurray Avenue,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Mr. Lam expressed
concerns about the lack of visitor parking, lack of unit-allocated parking and
suggested that the City consider installing street parking meters in the area.
Mr. Lam also shared concerns regarding: traffic congestion, impact on emergency
service response times and the ability of existing emergency service levels to
support an increase in service demand resulting from densification.
May Fong Cheng, 1004-6070 McMurray
Avenue, Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment.
Ms. Cheng asserted that the proposed new buildings on the west of the
development site will impact her privacy and that the increase in population
would result in higher pollution levels.
Jamal Siddiqui, Metrotown Islamic
Organization, 2440 Wilson Avenue, Port Coquitlam, spoke in opposition to the
proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Mr. Siddiqui shared concerns regarding the
protection and loss of heritage and community assets. The speaker spoke about

as to why the City owned road was being offered to the applicant and not to the
open market for purchase.
Nasir Dafus, President of the Greater
Vancouver Islamic Association, 101- 6125 Sussex Avenue, Burnaby, spoke in
opposition to the zoning bylaw amendment. Mr. Dafus highlighted the lack of

Councillor

Roger Whitehouse, 2000-6521 Bonsor Avenue,

to attend the Public Hearing due to traffic conflicts with a Deer Lake concert
event, and requested that Council adjourn the meeting to another date and time.
The speaker also shared concerns regarding the short public notice of the
rezoning application and the confusing image provided in the notification. Mr.
Whitehouse asked if there were any burials on the existing property and if the
United Church would remain the owners of the land parcel. The speaker laments
the potential loss of sunshine and mountain views for existing owners in the
area.
Peter Schalle, 506-605 Nelson Avenue,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Schalle
suggested that community infrastructure be built in advance of new buildings
instead of after.
Burt Ray Hass, 2310-4825 Hazel Street,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Hass
suggested that the City locate high-rises along Kingsway instead of the
proposed site. Mr. Hass stated concerns with the impact of the increased
population on arterial traffic routes, overall increased traffic and rat
racing, and highlighted concerns about a potential increase in
vehicle/pedestrian (including children) conflicts resulting in serious injury
or death.
Terry Harrison, 301-1075 Burnaby Street,
Vancouver, spoke in support of the proposed rezoning application. Ms. Harrison
stated that the development of the new church space will ensure the continuation
of community-provided services into the future. Ms. Harrison assured Council
that a traffic impact study had been conducted and that traffic concerns and
issues have been considered and provided for. Ms. Harrison acknowledged the
importance of preserving history, but that the priority of the church is to
grow the congregation and ensure continued service to the community – which the
new Church space will facilitate.
Jay Olson, Interim Minister at South
Burnaby United Church, 1404-3083 Kent Avenue, Vancouver, spoke in support of
the proposed rezoning application. Ms. Kent stated that the two Burnaby United
Church congregations would be combining and would continue to promote belonging
and service provision in the community. Ms. Olson assured Council that service
is at the forefront of the design and purpose of the building, and that those
community groups currently seeking program space will have increased options in
the new building. The intent of the new building is to promote belonging, safety
and encourage interaction amongst all members of the community.
Douglas Jay, Association of Owners of
Evergreen, VW3353, 830-4825 Hazel Street, Burnaby, spoke in support of the
proposed rezoning application with reservations. Mr. Jay shared concerns
regarding: negative impacts of development on the community, illegal dumping,
increased car accidents in the area, poor traffic sight lines, traffic
congestion, lack of parking, crime, pressure on existing educational
infrastructure, negative impact on property values, loss of views, increased
noise from construction/children/renters and overall liability of the area. The
speaker recommended that the City: correct sight line triangles, eliminate
parking close to intersection corners, install pedestrian controlled
intersection lights and consider traffic calming measures. Mr. Jay was not
supportive of another rental building in the area as he believes rental units
would attract tenants that may be disrespectful to the neighbourhood. Lastly,
Mr. Jay encouraged the City to increase the notification period given to
residents affected by rezoning bylaw amendments.
Vladimir Lazie, 1020-4825 Hazel Street, Burnaby,
spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Lazie stated
concerns with the ability of existing road, transit, city and educational
infrastructure to accommodate an increase in the local population. The loss of
views and the increased height of the proposed buildings are also concerns as
it does not align with the skyline aesthetics of surrounding buildings. Mr.
Lazie also commented on the increasing competition for community centre
programs and questioned how recreation services plans will meet future demand.
Beverly Huggins, 1750-4825 Haze Street,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. Ms. Huggins
stated concerns regarding: the rapid speed of development and the amount of
development in the neighbourhood, traffic from construction, healthcare
infrastructure capacity, crime, decreased emergency service response times and
the close proximity of the proposed buildings to each other and those
surrounding the development site. Ms. Huggins requested that the City consider
architectural design for lower buildings instead of high-rises.
Jason Calders, 4390 Grange Street,
Burnaby, spoke in support of the proposed rezoning application. Mr. Calders favours
increasing transportation options in the area and is excited about the addition
of a new rental building as it will increase available rental stock in the area.
The speaker expressed support that the rental building will be managed by a
professional rental company rather than owner rentals - as management companies
tend to do more to upkeep the rental units and common spaces. The speaker
pointed out that owner-rental units leave renters vulnerable as they are often
sold during market peaks causing housing insecurity for renters. Mr. Calders
would like the City to consider adding more rental units to the area.
Richard Chong, 302-4788 Hazel Street,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed rezoning application. The speaker
is supportive of the development of rental buildings, but opposes the proposed
location. Mr. Chong stated his concerns regarding: distance between the
proposed buildings, loss of existing views and the potential (through continued
development) the loss of any views remaining. The speaker requested that the City
conduct a traffic assessment prior to any development approval and consider
means of slowing traffic in the area to decrease the conflicts between vehicles
and pedestrians. Mr. Chong does not agree with the amount of buildings proposed
to be located on the development site as noise from existing rental units is
already disruptive to his daily life.
John Mo, 1730-4825 Hazel Street, Burnaby,
spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Mr. Mo stated
concerns regarding the proposed height of the building relative to the height
allowed by the current zoning. The speaker requested that more information be
included in the public notification, specifically how the City will address
increased infrastructure services requirements. Mr. Mo supports the Church, but
not its redevelopment as proposed. The speaker does not believe the proposed
development is in compliance with the Comprehensive Development Plan. Mr. Mo
requested that the City improve surrounding traffic lights and consider mechanisms
to improve access to underground parking sites. Mr. Mo supports the development
of high-rises at major intersections but not on arterial streets.

Jenny Ho, 801-4788 Hazel Street,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Ms. Ho
stated concerns with the loss of views and privacy impacts for the surrounding
buildings.
Mohamed Aboud, 102-4758 Granger Street,
Burnaby, spoke in opposition to the proposed zoning bylaw amendment. Mr. Aboud
does not see a reason to replace the existing buildings as they have been
recently updated and the landscaping is mature and in good condition. Mr. Aboud
stated that there were other community groups interested in purchasing the
existing church to accommodate the increased demand for prayer space.
*****
At this point in the
proceedings, Councillor Dhaliwal rose on a Point of Order to inquire as to the
relevancy of the comments related to the rezoning application. Councillor
