INFORMATION REPORT TO COUNCIL May 7, 2018 File: 08.3060.20/037.17 AUTHOR: Tamsin Guppy, Development Planner SUBJECT: PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING: TRAVELODGE REZONING

REASON FOR REPORT: The purpose of this report is to inform Council of an upcoming Public Information Meeting. SUMMARY: The Marvel Group are holding the required facilitated Public Information for rezoning the Travelodge site located at 2050 Marine Drive. The staff report on the detailed application will include a summary of the input received. An Early Input Opportunity for Council will be held in the coming weeks. PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING DETAILS: Date: May 23, 2018 Time: 6:30-8:00pm (Doors open at 6:30 and presentation is at 7:00pm.) Location: Grouse Inn, 1633 Capilano Road SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA: The application includes 4 commercial properties currently occupied by the Travelodge Hotel, the Pho Japolo Restaurant, Denny’s Restaurant and the parking lot for the Earl’s restaurant (the restaurant itself is located on a neighbouring lot in West Vancouver). The site is an integral part of the Lions Gate Village core as it proposes to complete the Curling Road park and both vehicle and pedestrian connections in the core area.

The site is currently designated Commercial Residential Mixed Use (CRMU Level Two - 2.5 FSR) in the Official Community Plan (OCP). The Lower Capilano Marine Village Centre Implementation Plan envisions the site for residential use with a tower and additional low rise and townhouse buildings. Surrounding properties include the Grouse Inn development site to the east, the LARCO project and Belle Isle projects to the north and DARWIN’s West Vancouver application to the west. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed rezoning site includes a 29 storey residential tower, two residential low rise buildings (4-6 storeys) and a mix of family oriented townhouse units (2-3 storeys). One of the low rise apartment buildings is a purpose built affordable rental building with approximately 34 affordable units (or approximately 10% of the project’s gross floor area/ unit count). The proposal also includes the design and construction of a new public park located on Curling Road. This project’s land dedication for park will add to the park dedication from the Grouse Inn site and create a new park that includes an adventure playground as well as a green space for passive recreation. The park will connect the greenway trail (provided by LARCO) to the new bus stop plaza (provided by the Grouse Inn).

Artist’s rendering, view from the south with Marine Drive in the foreground, the project includes a 29 storey tower and a 4 storey affordable rental building next to Marine Drive and a 6 storey building and public park next to Curling Road as well as land dedication for roads and pedestrian improvements.


Document: 3561672

The proposed site plan includes road dedication for widening Curling Road and Marine Drive, extending Glenaire Drive and connecting to the new east west road that services the properties along Marine Drive. In addition, land is being provided for the new public park and for new north-south pedestrian connections to Marine Drive. FORMAT OF MEETING: An independent facilitator will oversee the scheduled Public Information Meeting. Public input and a summary of the facilitated public information meeting will be forwarded to Council in the staff report at Council’s consideration of the detailed application. A copy of the meeting notification package is attached. PUBLIC NOTIFICATION: 1. The Notification Flyer for the Public Information Meeting has been sent to a larger than

typical notification area (400m instead of 100m) and has also been translated into Farsi recognizing that more than half the residents of Lions Gate have Farsi as their mother tongue;

2. Two notification signs have been erected onsite (facing Marine Drive and Curling Road); and

3. A newspaper advertisement has been placed in two editions of the North Shore News. Tamsin Guppy Development Planner Attachment: Notification Flyer

In my opinion: Community Benefit(s):

i:'"1'\' H01.11i'\J, Ccntnui.m Ap •JI 2v22 from PCt• Repol't

How much more housing do we need? Does the proposal offer enough of what we need?

S/00/221.58 PM

·11,e l>istrict"has upd:atecflts Street and Traffic Bylaw (Bylaw 7125), which regulates traffic and boulevards within the municipality. The new Bylaw took effect January 1, 2005. This brochure offers general guidelines on what you can and cannot do with regards to construction, planting and rubbish and snow removal on the boulevard and laneway. For details, visit ll!l"WW,driV: ~

CONSTRUCTION AND PLANTING

What you can do without a permit ...

On the Boulevard:

Repair and replace an existing driveway, walkway or retaining wall, as long as: • It's from a previous permit. • You haven't increased with the width or height. • It doesn't conflict with a utility or other structure. • It's not a safety concern. • If you place bark mulch, gravel, rock or similar

material, ensure it's less that 10 centimetres deep, doesn't change the grade, and is kept away from the road.

On the Boulevard and Laneway:

Plant a bush, shrub, grass, or groundcover as long as: • It's less than 0.9 metres high when fully grown in

its natural state. • It's at least 1.5 metres from the roadway edge or

sidewalk when fully grown in its natural state. • It doesn't affect pedestrian access, visibility or

traffic safety. • It doesn't interfere with a public utility service to

the highway. • The planting is indigenous to B.C.'s Southern

Coast, if it is on a steep slope or near a body of water.

.What yqu need a P.Cr-mit for.~.

On the Boulevard and Laneway:

You'll need a permit or District approval to do the following: • Construct a fence~ planter bm(. ,~etain,ing

~\all. ~lrnamcntat li0illnii.')or benches. . • Install any impermeable hard surface (other

than replacing an existing driveway). • Install anything altering the natural grade. • Put up signage. • Plant a bush, shrub, ornamental plant, or

ground cover that's likely to be taller than 0.9 metres.

• Plant a tree or hedge • Build a new driveway, walkway or stairs

To. obtain a Highway Construction and Planting Permit:

You need to apply inwriting to the District Transportation Section. Your application should include a description and detailed plan of the proposed construction or planting (this should include construction or maintenance details). Fees will be applied once the application is accepted. If you are applying for a Building Permit, this approval will be processed at the same time.

Document: 1797973

TEMPORARY USE OF THE ROADWAYHighway Use Permits You cannot perform any work or activity on the roadway unless it's associated with normal roadway usage. This includes anything that interferes with traffic or damages the roadway, unless authorized through a Highway Use Permit. These permits are issued for temporarily placing fixtures or other item, such as a waste disposal bin, barricades, traffic lane closures, and signs on the road or boulevard during construction. The Permit can also be used for special events, such as block parties, parades, processions or movie filming. A fee will be applied once the application is accepted for processing.

CARE OF THE BOULEY ARD • No one may damage any tree, shrub, plant, bush,

hedge, ornamental planting, fence or lighting on a boulevard.

• No one may cut down or prune any tree on a boulevard without District permission.

• Any rubbish obstructing the sidewalk should be immediately removed.

• For vegetation growing around power, cable or telephone wires, call your local utility company for advice.

• No one may park their vehicle, trailer or boat on the boulevard.

VISIBILITY A sight line hazard is anything that impedes a person's ability to see traffic or pedestrians. Here's what you can do to ensure safety: • Keep vegetation clear of walkways. • Cut back foliage and vegetation to provide a

clear view of stop signs, street name and traffic signs.

• If you own or live on a comer property be aware of the sight line visibility for pedestrians and motorists - our Transportation Section can assist you.

June 1, 2022 Mayor and Council 355 West Queens Road District of North Vancouver

Re: Support for 2050-2070 Marine Drive and an Unaddressed Lot

Dear Mayor Little and Council:

My name is Emily Vinet, I would like to express my full support for IBI Group’s proposal to redevelop the existing underutilized lands at 2050-2070 Marine Drive with new housing and commercial space.

I grew up in the District of North Van and was lucky enough to have been able to purchase a home and start my family here. We live in our home now, but for 3 years while it was being developed, my parents were kind enough to let my husband and I stay with them (in North Van) as there was no rental here that allowed us to meet our saving goals to complete our home purchase.

While I consider myself extremely lucky in this regard, I know this is the exception to the rule. Many friends who I grew up with in North Van have been priced out of living close to their families in North Van and have had to move to Vancouver Island, Squamish, Port Moody and Port Coquitlam to start their own family.

Given my recent experiences, I can attest to the need for more housing choices in North Van.

Not enough has been built or approved in North Van over the last couple of years, which makes it more expensive for people to live here. Without projects like this one being built, I’m concerned that North Van will feel the effects of this current housing crisis intensify -- young couples and families will continue to move further away, bringing with them contributions to the local economy and community that are needed for the long-term sustainability of this city that I love and call home.

I believe that this project has a lot to offer the community, with its variety of housing options suitable to a range of needs and income levels. Further, the desirable location within walking distance to transit, commercial space, recreation, green space, trails, and schools, support a healthy and sustainable community.

I hope that Council will approve this project. I truly think this development will be a welcome addition to Lions Gate Village.

Thank you for the opportunity to be heard by Council.

Emily Vinet

Good day,

My name is Shiva Golpira and I am a long-term resident of the North Shore. I have spent a bigportion of my life here; my parents and my sister still reside in the North Shore.

I’ve always wanted to continue living in the area; I know and love the community. However,due to lack of sufficient condominium supply, I had no choice but to move to Vancouver, eventhough my office is also located in the City of North Vancouver.

Living in houses is not for everyone and I think we need a diverse supply of housing in theNorth Shore. Therefore, I support this project and I hope that you do too.

Sincerely,Shiva Golpira

Dear Mayor and the councilI have been a resident of the North shore since 1985. Since then the prices of real estate has gone up astronomicallyand it is becoming almost prohibitive for starters to buy residence in our areas. So we desperately need someaffordable lodgings in North shore. It seems obvious that the above development is a very beneficial one for ourregion and I highly recommend it. I hope that your office and the respected committee may approve this project veryquickly and facilitate its execution soonest possible. I am sure you appreciate how useful is this project and willsupport its approval.Yours trulyCasey K. Lotfali

Good day,

My name is Sepehr Hojati and I am a long-term resident of the North Shore. I have spent a big portion of my lifehere; I’ve always wanted to start my own family in North Vancouver, however, with insufficient number of condominiumcomplexes in the area, and high prices for single family homes, I have been unable to pursue that dream. I believethat our community can benefit from projects similar to what this 2050 - 2070 Marine Drive is proposing. I wouldlike to see our community grow and invite young families to the area.

Sincerely,Sepehr Hojjaty

Dear Mayor and Members of Council, SURLEY Council are not even considering the height and density proposed for this development onthe Travelodge Site. No consideration has been given to the road infrastructure to support it - which is non-existent. Also, no affordable housing, or any amenities or benefits at all for our neighbourhood. I find these proposals extremely stressful, and am very angry at this monstrosity being put forward. Sincerely, Val Moller

From: Fred GolshanTo: DNV InputSubject: IBI projectDate: June 06, 2022 8:41:15 PM


I 'm pleased to see the City are in process to approve this project. Not only will completion ofthis project increase the availability of rental units and beautification of this part of the city, italso causes more available unit for our younger generation that can not afford a single house inthis part of the town.The diverse number of rental units and ownerships plus townhouses,also makes this projectquite attractive.As a neighbouring resident I hope and wish this project goes forward.

Dear DNV: please pass along this message regarding tomorrow night's hearing Dear Vancouver City Council I am writing to support the proposed redevelopment of 2050-2070 Marine Drive, a site I havepassed many times commuting to UBC from Redonda Drive when I lived in the District anden route to Grouse Mountain. The site has of course always stood out as massivelyunderdeveloped. You are of course familiar with the need for more homes in our region in order to handle thecrisis of housing affordability that affects people at income levels that will only grow overtime. I have no doubt that Michael's design is as sensitive to the local context as feasible and will fitin well with the community plan. So you will get badly needed, well-designed, contextuallyappropriate homes. Regards,Tom Davidoff

From: Jordan WilliamsTo: DNV InputSubject: Rezoning Proposal - 2050-2070 Marine Drive, North Vancouver - Public Hearing 06/07/2022Date: June 07, 2022 9:13:27 AM


Hello,

I am writing in support of the proposed rezoning at 2050-2070 Marine Drive, NorthVancouver.

This project will provide much needed housing diversity to a chronically undersuppliedmarket. Council cites "traffic and congestion" as being a major reason against this project dueto the density of the proposed towers and additional residents it will bring. I recently movedinto the Belle Isle development behind the Travelodge site and have enjoyed taking fast publictransit along Marine Drive to get into downtown everyday. My daily commute has been cut inhalf since I moved from East Vancouver to North Vancouver, as access to rapid transit was asignificant factor in my decision to move here. This area enjoys tremendous access torapid busses and e-bike sharing programs and I believe new residents will utilize publictransit/bikes in a similar fashion as I have and not have a material effect on traffic.Building density and keeping people out of cars, as this project will do, minimizes ecologicalfootprints of cities and is the most environmentally friendly approach to housing. It is not poorclimate policy.

Furthermore, this project will complement the adjacent Sentinel and Park West projects andcomplete a beautiful, modern corridor along Marine Drive. For those driving into NorthVancouver from the Lions Gate Bridge, it will truly be a welcome sight and bring new life intothe area. The proposed heights of the buildings are in-line with its existing neighbours and willbe a welcome addition to the Lions Gate Village.

Thank you,J

LETTER OF SUPPORT

June 7, 2022

Attention: Kevin Zhang, Development Planner District of North Vancouver North Vancouver, British Columbia

Re: 2050-2070 Marine Dr, North Vancouver Rezoning Application

To the District of North Vancouver:

MLA Canada, one of Western Canada’s leaders in multifamily real estate Advisory, Sales, and Marketing, is writing this letter to show our consideration and support for the rezoning application and development planned at 2050-2070 Marine Dr in North Vancouver.

The project as proposed provides a significant benefit to the local community by incorporating a variety of housing options that appeal to a wide audience of prospective purchasers and renters alike. Specifically, 62% of the proposed units are considered family-friendly (2-bed or larger) and 35.7% will be market and/or non-market rental units, both of which are a significantly higher proportion compared to other highrise developments in North Vancouver and surrounding municipalities. Additionally, the developer’s commitment to 48 local-first units signals a strong commitment to North Vancouver residents and providing a fair chance at newly constructed housing supply.

The location of the site just east of the Lions Gate Bridge offramp on the north side of Marine Dr, makes it ideal for commuters working in downtown Vancouver, West Vancouver, or further east into Burnaby and/or Coquitlam. Additionally, the site is encircled by two existing highrise development projects: Park West at Lions Gate by Keltic Canada Developments as well as The Sentinel by Denna Homes, both of which have added a sense of community and identity to the localized area. Furthermore, these two projects provide existing precedent for the building and overall development form proposed at 2050-2070 Marine Dr. With the proposed additions of a neighborhood park, green roofs, and overall building placement that minimizes noise with the creation of an inner courtyard, Marvel’s proposal moves the Lions Gate Village area closer to becoming a complete community that houses, employs, and offers relevant services to residents.

As cited over the past two years by mainstream media, development industry professionals, and all levels of government, housing supply and its impact on affordability remains top of mind. The 2050-2070 Marine Dr proposal adequately addresses these concerns by not only adding a variety of housing options that appeal to a variety of income levels, but also by incorporating rent-to-own units that bridge the gap for first-time and entry-level aspiring homebuyers. We are in full support of this rezoning application.

We hope this letter of support is helpful and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our team directly.

Regards,

Shayna Macquisten Chief Revenue Officer, Partner MLA Canada

Good day,

My name is Ali Basij and I am a long-term resident of the North Shore. I have spent a bigportion of my life here;

As a Millennial leaving and currently working in the North Shore, I like to see our communitythrive and be more inclusive to all ages.

I believe this project can benefit a variety of demographics not just as a place to live, but aplace to spend quality time with loved ones and network.

I believe that our community can benefit from projects similar to what 2050 - 2070 MarineDrive is proposing.

Sincerely,Ali Basij

Dear Mayor and Council:

I am not a resident of the District of North Vancouver, nor do I have any direct property or financial interest in this application. What I do have, however, is a keen and abiding professional interest in seeing that our various municipalities continue to evolve in positive ways that benefit the most people, both those who live here now and those not yet here. This includes the “missing middle”, a key aspect underlying the District’s Official Community Plan.

By way of background, I was the DNV Senior Urban Designer from c. 2009-2013 and, as such, was deeply and directly involved in the development of the OCP and three of the four town centre plans – Lynn Valley, Lower Lynn, and Lions Gate. During this time I was also directly involved in reviewing development applications and the preparation of implementation programs for these centres.

As for the current application before you, I am in full support of this submission. The significant direct and indirect benefits to the full realization of the vision for Lions Gate are worth noting:

Road dedication to complete the new road;

Park dedication to complete the local park:

41 non-market rental homes built to Passive House standards;

77 market rental homes;

212 market homes for ownership;

Less quantitatively but no less important, the proposed development helps to reinforce the look, feel, and function of a true town centre, one that is in turn supported by the RapidBus service and, eventually, the regional transit improvements being proposed by TransLink.

In closing, I strongly urge Your Worship and Councillors to support this keystone development that will bring all the elements together to fulfill the vision of a transit-oriented and complete community.

Thank you,

Frank Ducote, FCIP/RPP

All this with a density of 2.75FSR that is, by regional standards, is very low.

f approved, redevelopment of this property will complete a new public park and road system serving the village. It will also add 330 new homes including 41 non-market rentals, 77 market rentals & 212 condominiums. The non-market building is being constructed to Passive House Standards and the balance of the development is meeting or exceeding DNV's stringent environmental standards.

The condominiums will include rent-to-own and locals-first programs. The overall FSR is only 2.75 and to address traffic concerns, the number of parking spaces has been dramatically reduced to less than one per unit since the development is on the RapidBus route with a stop outside the door.

2050-2070 Marine Drive, North Vancouver Public Hearing June 7, 2022

Good evening Mayor and Council,

My name is Barry Fenton and I am a member of

a resident of DNV.

I am writing to Council members with my support for this project.

The applicant has worked with staff since November 2020 to revise their proposal to reduce the tower

height, increase the number of non-market rental units and increase the number of market rental units.

The redevelopment will create a variety of housing options with a total of 330 residential units: • 212

market strata units ( 8 are rent to own), • 77 market rental units, and • 41 non-market rental units. The

project proposes that 36% (118 units) of the residential units are rental in tenure (13% as non-market

rental units and 23% as market rental units). As noted, the project includes 41 non-market rental units,

with rents ranging from 18% to 30% below the median 2021 rents for the District. The applicant is

targeting rents for the non-market units to be affordable to "Low-to-Moderate Income Households".

The project contributes to several objectives of the OCP action by providing a range of housing options

within the heart of the Lions Gate Village Centre. It also delivers key public amenities such as a new

road, a new neighbourhood park, and new pedestrian connections. The project will provide a new road

that will be an important connecting feature within the Lions Gate Village Centre. This project will also

deliver the Curling Road Park planned south of Curling Road.

It is worth noting that the 4-storey non-market rental building is proposed to achieve "Passive House"

certification.

The applicant is voluntarily proposing a locals-first program. Under this program, it is proposed that a

minimum of 48 strata units are marketed to "locals-first". Also proposed are 21 strata units that will

contain lock-off suites.

I am fully supportive of the much-needed housing options proposed in this project as the site is well-

served by frequent transit along both Marine Drive and Capilano Road, and is located in the heart of the

Lions Gate Village Centre. This location provides opportunities to reduce transportation demands and

facilitate alternative modes of transportation.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide my input to this public hearing and I encourage Council

members to vote in favour of this proposal.

Barry Fenton

Good Afternoon Gordon and Council members, I am writing on behalf of development request for the Travel Lodge site. As a long time realtor on the North Shore as well as a 22 year resident of the North Shore, I am an advocatefor more housing and infrastructure on the North Shore. The Denny’s site , along with the rest of Lion’s Gate Village, is a big asset to the North Shore. Not only isthis close proximity to downtown, our own beloved ParkRoyal , Ambleside, hiking trails, biking trails, and3 ski hills. This is where density should be. It has been developed for many many years already. It is timefor an upgrade which DNV & DWV have done an excellent job designing. As we all know there is limited housing available to downsizers and first home buyers. It is extremely important to maintain our existing residents that have lived on the North Shore, raised their families, andcontributed to the property taxes that have helped create our infrastructure. It’s equally important to keepour children, first home buyers, close to each other. That is what community is all about.Developing downsizer product as well as first home buyer product in essential in maintaining ourcommunity. The Travel lodge site is scheduled for community amenities to tie into the existing Park West as well asCapilano Residences. It is important to complete the OCP and amenities as promised to the resident’s ofLions Gate Village. Further, this particular site is scheduled for rentals. The vacancy rate overall in the lower mainland is stillextremely low. Having additional rentals in the community helps bring in people that do not and can notown. I hope this site gets approved based on the OCP at Lion’s Gate Village that has been in design for yearsnow.

Thank you for your time, Coleen Weir

Dear Mayor and Council,

I know that questions from the Public don’t automatically get answered by staff so I submit these questions herehoping that one or more of you may see merit in posing a similar question for the benefit of clarity and transparencyto the Public:

1) please detail who the current owners of each of the four lots in question are and if possible list directors of anycompanies involved.2) what are typical market rates for condominiums per square foot as they vary in height (low storeys through tohigh storeys) eg. what is an average price per sq ft of a floor 1-6 condo vs an average price per square ft on a floor20+ of a condo tower. I am assuming they market prices rise as the floor level increases.3) can we determine the percentage of new built units in DNV or even Lions Gate Village which are occupied asprimary residences? This could be determined by comparing the land title registry to the local government electoralvoters list to be completed later this year.4) please quantify the financial costs to DNV taxpayers to take on the dedicated roadways and “city park” (aslabelled on the drawings)5) please engage with the Lower Capilano and Woodcroft Community Associations to determine whether they seeany public benefit to the designated roadways and “city park”?

Thank you,

Oh also please add this question:

Before closing the Public Hearing please disclose what the extra charges will be for the non market and marketrentals for:1) storage locker2) bicycle storage locker3) vehicle parking stall(s)

In my opinion we cannot determine the affordability of these units without knowing these costs.

Thank you,

Dear esteemed community members,

I am writing to you today on behalf of some of the residents on in order tobring into attention a few already existing, and potential characteristics of the neighbourhoodin question that we believe would need to be considered in today's hearing.

The intersection of Capilano and Marine Drive is the main connection between the city ofVancouver and the highway. For this reason, even before any of the many newly erectedbuildings in this neighbourhood are occupied, there is a huge congestion problem at theintersection, especially during rush hour; effectively making the city of Vancouverunreachable in a timely manner at these times. This also causes a traffic over flow to thehighway and the IronWorkers Memorial Bridge, for those that need to make the trip to the cityof Vancouver.

Furthermore this entire neighbourhood practically has no natural area or park land that isaccessible to the residence (except one hard to reach narrow path) leaving most residentshaving to use the rugby fields for their outing or walking their dogs. This, plus the lack ofcoast access makes this side of the district of north vancouver stand out in a negative wayfrom the rest of greater Vancouver which has accessible natural areas as one of theirdistinguishing hallmarks.

As far as city planning is concerned, it is easily visible in some of the greatest cities in theworld, including other neighbourhoods of Vancouver, that the changing times have caused thedevelopment opportunities to instead of being used for high rises and high density areas togive way to developments of lower density low rise structures, with a focus aroundcommunity development, and sustainability oriented city planning and construction. It seemsto us that it would be ideal to follow suit, or even excel at taking such an approach if presentedwith development opportunities. These approaches (such as the new proposed developmentarea on w 4th, Vancouver) have proven to be much more desirable by residents that come tochoose the larger Vancouver area and especially north Vancouver as their home. It not onlymaintains the district's integrity, but increases the values and benefits that our place of livingcan bring.

Last but not least, we would like to point out that the intersection borders with an indigenousreservation area. We believe it is agreeable by all of us that it is our responsibility as acommunity, who have found our home on these unceded lands, to make sure ourdevelopments not only do not infringe on the fabric of their community, but to also embodyand protect many of the values that they uphold, such as respect for their land and nature andmoderation in growth and solely monetary profit based development.

We trust that our officials are not swayed by any lobbying efforts to forgo their responsibilities

to their highly esteemed office, as they are not required to do so by law. And we hope theywill be able to instead tell a story to their children and grandchildren that when it was theirtime to serve their community, they uphold the dignity and responsibility of making sure ourdistrict continues to remain and improve as one of the most distinguished places to live onearth. We wish you the best of luck on your efforts towards that.

Thank you for your time

Sincerely

Hello,

We were not able to make it to the public hearing today. But would like to have some comments on the currentsituation.

We are originally are from downtown , crosstown area. Thehomeless and drug situation got significantly bad after Covid. To the point where we did not feel safe for our youngchildren to go out.

Finally made the big plunge to move to this new area in north Vancouver hoping to find some peace and for ourchildren to grow up in a safe neighborhood. It was a big stretch for us to afford our new home but we did it becauseits necessary.

We were told that the travelodge would become a green space starting in 2023 and that was what sold us on buyinginto this area. Now seeing this news about the bc housing renting it to the homeless until 2023 and could be until2025 is disappointing to say the least. Just 2 weeks into moving here someone came into our front patio gates and tryto steal our plant and patio chair in the middle of the night. My husband chased after him and followed him to thetravelodge parking lot where the thief finally gave up and ditched our belongings.

To witness that was horrific and we had to sign up to a security company to have security alarms set up all over ourhome. This was nothing that we had ever imagined would happen moving to this neighborhood.

We hope that the green space/park will still happen and we look forward to the new developments , which can’thappen any sooner.

Subject: Re: Marvel Developments - Michael Geller - How Can he Speak in Favour of Height heOpposes Hazen Colbert, you are missing two very important considerations. The first is that the Floor Space Ratio of the Broadway and Birch development that Iopposed was 10.52 in a 3 FSR zone. The market housing within the Travelodge project is 2.5 FSR. The OCP allows 2.5 FSR.(The additional 0.25 FSR is for below market rental housing.) The second relates to height. The buildings along Broadway & Birch are generally amaximum of 12 storeys as per zoning. The buildings immediately to the south are 3 & 4storeys. The buildings near the Travelodge development are 23 and 26 storeys. Architecturally, a 27storey building fits in. I hope this information helps you appreciate why I can strongly support the Travelodgedevelopment while remaining opposed to the Broadway & Birch development, (which Imight add was approved by Vancouver Council.) I will be pleased to discuss this further with you if you wish. Michael Geller FCIP, RPP, MLAI, Ret.
