Item No. 16 – APPLICATION BY POLYGON TALISMAN PARK LTD. |
|
|
|
Laura Gillanders, Richmond resident, spoke in opposition to the proposed development, and was of the opinion that there wasn’t sufficient rental housing to address the housing crisis in Richmond.

She urged Council to request 65% market rental units for the proposed development to ensure sufficient rental housing is available. |

John Roston, Richmond resident, referenced a chart (attached to and forming part of these Minutes as Schedule 1) and spoke in opposition to the proposed development, noting that (i) rented condos, are not market rental units, (ii) market rental units are centrally managed, and (iii) increasing the percentage of market rental units in this development would not make it unprofitable for the developers; therefore, providing 65% market rental units should be feasible. |

Michelle Li, Richmond resident, spoke in opposition to the proposed development, and noted that (i) families in Richmond are struggling to find affordable and stable places to live, (ii) giving owners the option to rent is not the same as obtaining stable rental housing, (iii) rental housing supply needs to be replenished, and (iv) all new developments need to increase the affordable housing and market rental components. |

|
Item No. 17 – PROPOSED OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN/CITY CENTRE AREA PLAN AMENDMENT, LANSDOWNE SHOPPING CENTRE FINAL MASTER LAND USE PLAN |
|
|
|
Robert Brown, Catalyst Community Development Society, spoke in favour of the proposed development, and noted that (i) the low-end market rental program approved by the City has been effective in providing affordable housing for people in Richmond, (ii) low-end market rental projects are a great addition, and (iii) low-end market rental housing provides stable housing. He urged Council to approve this application. |
|
|
|
Item No. 17 – PROPOSED OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN/CITY CENTRE AREA PLAN AMENDMENT, LANSDOWNE SHOPPING CENTRE FINAL MASTER LAND USE PLAN |
