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.

STATEMENT CONCERNING THE PROPOSED BYLAW AND THE CONDUCT OF THE PUBLIC HEARING

3.
Official Community Plan Amendment No. 8399, 2023 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 8400, 2023 for 909-915 Twelfth Street

 

Purpose: Rezoning and Development Permit applications have been received to facilitate the development of a five storey multi-unit residential building with 40 strata units and an overall density of 2.5 FSR. The building would exceed Building Bylaw requirements and be constructed to BC Energy Step Code Level 4 standards. The site would be rezoned from Community Commercial Districts (Medium Rise) (C-2A) to site-specific Comprehensive Development District (909-915 Twelfth Street) (CD-107).


The City also gives notice of its intention to close an unused portion of City lane right-of-way (marked in bold on the map) and sell the closed road area to Di Nicolo Enterprises Ltd. for $269,000 as part of redevelopment of the site. The proposed Official Community Plan amendment would extend the Residential - Multiple Unit Buildings (RM) designation and the Upper Twelfth Street Residential Corridor Development Permit Area (DPA 2.1) over this lane portion for consistency with the rest of the subject properties.
