A proposal for 27 townhouses in the Rayside neighbourhood is one of five rezoning applications going to public hearing next week.
The three-storey townhouse project is planned for 5037, 5057 and 5067 Claude Ave.
The initial plan included changes to Wilton Avenue, which would allow it to better connect with Claude Avenue, but has since been changed to avoid impacting a nearby creek, according to the report on the application.
A streamside protection and enhancement area would be established on site as part of the development, and the development’s setback from the top of the stream bank would be 20 rather than 25 metres.
An acoustical report will be necessary for the site because of traffic noise from the nearby Trans-Canada Highway, according to the report.
The applicant is Jordan Kutev Architect Inc.
The site is near another Rayside townhouse development which worried some nearby residents recently.
The 10 wooded lots at Canada Way and Claude Avenue were razed last month for a 161-unit townhouse development. The rezoning for that project went through public hearing last December.
The other applications going to public hearing are for the consolidation of the St. Timothy’s Anglican Church property on Kitchener Street; a daycare for 152 children on Lougheed Highway near Brentwood Town Centre; a B.C. Liquor Store in the UniverCity neighbourhood near SFU; and extended hours for the B.C. Liquor Store in Kensington Square Mall.
The public hearing takes place in council chambers at city hall on Tuesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. For those who cannot attend, written submissions must be received at the city clerk’s office by 4:45 p.m. on the day of the public hearing.
Burnaby council does not accept submissions regarding rezoning applications after public hearings.
