This week, council will debate rezoning applications and a design change for active transportation during its last week before going on summer recess.<\/p>\n
There is a public hearing scheduled for July 6<\/a> and a council meeting scheduled for July 7 and 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here are some key items on the agenda this week:<\/p>\n
\nWestrich Pacific<\/a> has applied to rezone two properties in W\u00eehkw\u00eant\u00f4win. The developer has proposed rezoning a lot at 10004 112 Street<\/a> from a direct control zone that allows for a 35-storey building to the mixed use zone, which allows for a 12-storey building. Westrich has also applied to rezone three lots at the corner of 100 Avenue and 111 Street<\/a> from a direct control zone that allows for an 18-storey building to the medium-scale residential zone, which allows for an eight-storey building.
\nYorkton Equity Group has applied to rezone<\/a> the Pacific Mall site and an adjacent parking lot in Chinatown to allow for an 18-storey building and a six-storey building, respectively. The current zoning allows for buildings up to 38 storeys high. Administration said it supports the application because the proposed buildings would align with Chinatown’s economic development plans.
\nCoun. Ashley Salvador will move to direct administration to pause the current plans<\/a> for active transportation infrastructure along 50 Street NW through Capilano, Gold Bar, and Fulton Place. The design would remove street parking to make way for a protected bike lane. Salvador said there is an alternative design that would maintain parking.
