PUBLIC HEARING
AGENDA

-
Meeting held electronically and open to public attendance
Council Chamber, City Hall

We recognize and respect that New Westminster is on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Halkomelem speaking peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As a City, we are learning and building relationships with the people whose lands we are on.

 

LIVE WEBCAST: Please note City Council Meetings, Public Hearings, Council Workshops and some Special City Council Meetings are streamed online and are accessible through the City’s website at http://www.newwestcity.ca/council  


The Mayor will open the meeting and provide a land acknowledgement.

Mayor Johnstone will provide a statement regarding the bylaws under consideration, the conduct of the public hearing, and the expected conduct of all participants.

Purpose: Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) and Heritage Designation Bylaw applications have been received for 802 & 806 Eighth Street and 809 Eighth Avenue. The project would protect and restore a 1929 heritage house, which will be relocated on-site. In exchange, the HRA would allow subdivision and construction of three new townhouse buildings. A total of 18 residential units are proposed, including four accessible studio units and 14 family-friendly units. An overall Floor Space Ratio of 1.08 is proposed. Smaller lot sizes, higher densities, minor increases to building heights, and construction of the townhouse units are among the primary Zoning Bylaw relaxations proposed by the HRA. Several minor siting relaxations are also being requested.

Anyone who believes they are affected by the proposal will have five minutes to speak to Council. Registered speakers will be called first. If you have not registered, the Mayor will call for more speakers at the end of the registered speakers list, and you can speak to Council at that time.
