Submissions from the floor: |
|
|
|
Igor Pakhomov, Richmond resident, questioned the rationale for including a cooperative in the rental tenure zoning. In response to the query from the floor, staff indicated that cooperative housing should be afforded the same protection as other rental housing. |
|
|
|
Gail Brown, Richmond resident, expressed concern that the rental tenure zoning will introduce restrictions which will reduce the value of the properties. In response, staff advised that there is no empirical evidence of the impact of rental tenure zoning on property values. |
|
|
|
Amelia Hu, Richmond resident, expressed concern regarding the protection that will be provided to tenants in the event that owners redevelop the properties. |
|
|
|
Sean Williams, Richmond resident, expressed concern that the City is unable to provide any assurance to the property owners that the land use restrictions will not devalue the properties. In response to a question from Council, staff advised that the current situation would not involve rezoning of the properties. |
|
|
|
Ginny Chan, Richmond resident, expressed concern regarding the protection that will be provided to tenants in the event that owners redevelop the properties. In response, Council advised that the relocation of tenants required during redevelopment would be addressed during the redevelopment process. |
|
|
|
In response to questions from Council, staff advised: |
|
|
|
|
§ |
tenants would be protected by the Market Rental Housing Policy; |
|
|
|
§ |
tenants will have the right of first refusal of the redeveloped rental units; |
|
|
|
§ |
incentives to property owners to increase the number of rental units are available through the redevelopment process; and |
|
|
|
§ |
there is an existing bylaw that stipulates minimum maintenance requirements for rental buildings. |
