If you’d like to give Burnaby city council a piece of your mind, head down to city hall Tuesday evening for a public hearing.
Starting at 6 p.m., Mayor Mike Hurley and the city’s eight councillors will open the floor for feedback on six proposals currently under consideration.
“All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by a proposed bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard,” the hearing agenda says.
You can simply show up to express your views in person or write a letter and deliver by email ([email protected]), by mail (Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby V5G 1M2) or by fax (604-294-7537).
The proposals up for discussion:
- A bylaw amendment that would allow a heritage designation for Schou Street School and permit the construction of a new building on the site to house the offices of the Burnaby school district.
- A separate bylaw is proposed to officially designate Schou Street School as a protected heritage site.
- A proposed rezoning of the Burnaby school district’s current administrative offices on Kincaid Street from P2 administration and assembly to R2 residential. This would allow the property owner to demolish the existing buildings and subdivide the property into 18 single-family lots.
- A rezoning to allow a new cluster of buildings in the Brentwood Town Centre area. The proposal would allow for four condo buildings (two high-rises, a mid-rise and a podium), stores and a parkade on Yukon Crescent, Dawson Street, Delta Avenue and Beta Avenue.
- Another rezoning proposal in Brentwood would allow a 22-storey condo building with townhouses and underground parking on Alaska Street.
- A zoning bylaw amendment that would allow a new three-storey, 23-unit townhouse development on Balmoral Street.
