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 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 voluntarily protect the Johnston House, built in 1905, with a Heritage Designation Bylaw. This means any future changes to the exterior of the house would require a heritage permit and further development would require approval from the City. No changes to the property’s zoning nor any development are being considered at this time.

Public Input received up until 5:00 p.m. on January 26 will be distributed with the Public Hearing Agenda. Later public input will be distributed on table at the Public Hearing.

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: A Heritage Revitalization Agreement (HRA) is proposed in order to permit a rental infill house which is larger than permitted under the Laneway and Carriage House Program. Three Zoning Bylaw relaxations are proposed: increased density (0.18 FSR) and a reduced side yard setback (0.9 m. / 3 ft.) for the infill house; and a reduced side yard setback (0.6 m/ 2.1 ft.) to allow the heritage house to remain in its current location. In exchange the 1928 house would be legally protected through a Heritage Designation Bylaw.

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.
