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.

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

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

Purpose: An application has been received to rezone 1321 Cariboo Street from Multiple Dwelling Districts (Low Rise) (RM-2) to Comprehensive Development District (1321 Cariboo Street) (CD-95). The rezoning would allow the development of 15 secured market rental units in a five storey building with an overall Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 1.69. The proposal includes eight surface parking spaces and 24 bicycle parking spaces.

Public Input received up until 5:00 p.m. on June 27, 2022 will be distributed with the Public Hearing Agenda. Later public input will be distributed on table at the Public Hearing.

Climate Action, Planning and Development staff will provide a description of the proposal.

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.

Purpose: Applications have been received for an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment, Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) and Special Development Permit (SDP) to facilitate the seismic upgrade and restoration of the existing cathedral at 514 Carnarvon Street, and legally protect it with a Heritage Designation Bylaw. The applications would also enable the development of a 30 storey tower with a density of 6.59 floor space ratio (FSR), which would include 285 residential units, 14 of which would be secured for rent at market rates. The development would include a new parish hall at the base of the tower, a public plaza, and a publically-accessible pedestrian pathway including an elevator and staircase connecting Carnarvon Street to Clarkson Street. The OCP amendment would change the land use designation from “Residential- Mid Rise Apartment” to “Residential – Tower Apartment”.
