CARRIED

3.

Delegations from the floor on Agenda items.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Brad Dore, 9051 Blundell Road, distributed renderings of single-family homes (copy on file, City Clerk’s Office), and compared the potential effects between the proposed staff recommendations as presented in Bylaw 9524 and the Planning Committee recommendations as presented in Bylaw 9737.  He was of the opinion that a minimum setback of 7.5 meters for 40% of the ground floor lends itself better to create usable private space in the rear yard.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Raman Kooner, 3399 Moresby Drive, was of the opinion that the proposed minimum rear yard setback of 6.0 meters (20 feet) for the 60% of the rear wall, and 7.5 meters (25 feet) for the remaining 40% of the rear wall at the ground floor, achieves better inward articulation, thereby reducing the appearance of massing.  Also, he remarked that the proposed 9.8 meters maximum forward projection for an attached garage is needed in order to make the garage useable.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

[ NAME ], Westwind resident, remarked that over the course of the past two years she has participated in every opportunity for feedback regarding mega homes and expressed her concern with regard to what is proposed in Bylaw 9737.  She queried the integrity of the public consultation process, noting that the feedback provided through surveys and open houses appear to have been dismissed in favour of the wants of builders.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Anne Piche, 11800 6th Avenue, suggested that the Steveston area be exempt from the proposed bylaw given that it generally has smaller lots and lanes in the area provide space between the lots. She commented on challenges of building on smaller lots in Steveston, and suggested that ‘cookie cutter’ houses not be permitted within one to two houses of each other.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Gursher Randhawa, 6300 Woodwards Road, remarked that as a builder, the proposed regulations would further limit his ability to build a unique home and suggested that the proposed regulations be reconsidered as they create inefficient layouts.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Jas Sandhu, 8091 Williams Road, expressed concern with regard to the online survey as it relates to the number of surveys submitted, geographical data of the submissions, and queried whether there were any provisions to prohibit multiple submissions from one person.  Also, Mr. Sandhu noted that he submitted materials to staff regarding the proposed single-family building massing regulations and queried why it was not included as part of the materials presented before Council.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Cindy Lee, 7720 Malahat Avenue, commented on the effects of massing in her neighbourhood and throughout the city, noting that the tree canopy is disappearing and shadowing from large homes reduces neighbouring homes’ sunlight.  Also, she was of the opinion that the comments from builders appear to have a higher standing than that of residents.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Kerry Starchuk, 7611 Lancing Place, expressed concern regarding the size of homes being built in Richmond and queried the rationale for such homes as she believed many homes are vacant.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Lyn ter Borg, Sandpiper Court, expressed concern with regard to regulations related to side yard setbacks and garage projections.  She distributed photographs demonstrating narrow side yards and read from her submission (attached to and forming part of these minutes as Schedule 1).

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Randy Randhawa, Richmond realtor, builder, and resident, commented on needs and wants, noting that there are two sides to a coin and those that wish to have large homes should be able to have them.  Mr. Randhawa then spoke in favour of the proposed Planning Committee recommendation as presented in Bylaw 9737.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Holly Whitehead, 3800 Bayview Street, expressed concern with regard to the proposed staff recommendations as presented in Bylaw 9524, noting that house design options are currently limited and the proposed bylaw would further exasperate a challenging situation.  Ms. Whitehead then spoke in favour of the Planning Committee recommendations as presented in Bylaw 9737 as favouring more creative design options for homes.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Rob Williamson, 8166 Mirabel Court, expressed concern regarding the public consultation process as it relates to changes recommended by the Planning Committee contrary to staff’s initial recommendations, which were based on feedback from the public consultation process.  Also, Mr. Williamson queried regulations for decks as they relate to the proposed single-family building massing regulations.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Samuel Yao, 8420 Pigott Road, was of the opinion that single-family building massing regulations should be unique to each area.  Also, Mr. Yao remarked that the proposed regulations are difficult to understand, particularly for those with English as a second language.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Single Family Dwelling Building Massing Regulation – Second Phase

 

 

Yvonne Bell, 10431 Mortfield Road, stated that she would like the matter to be referred back to staff as she believed that there is a need for additional green space and the retention of mature trees.  She expressed concern regarding large new homes in the Broadmoor area and other areas, noting that the privacy of residents in existing homes are negatively affected as a result of this type of development.  Ms. Bell then expressed concerns that the bylaw under consideration does not reflect the results of the public consultation process.
