A public hearing for two property re-zoning applications is being held at Richmond City Hall on Tuesday evening.
But before that, the general purposes committee meeting will take place at 4 p.m. with Vancouver International Airport CEO Tamara Vrooman providing an update to the council.
Councillors will also be awarding Kronos Canadian Systems Inc. a workforce management contract at the committee meeting.
Public Hearing (Tuesday)
The property at 8691 Heather St. is looking to re-zone and allow the property to be subdivided to create two single-family lots with one lot to be accessed from Heather Street and the other from Dolphin Avenue.
A second property at 8420 Heather Street is also looking for permission to re-zone and subdivide the property into two "equal-sized" single-family lots, according to a city staff report.
Each family lot will have secondary suites and vehicle access from Heather Street.
There is currently one single-family home on the property, which will be demolished if given approval.
Planning committee (Wednesday)
Councillors will decide whether or not to forward the motion for city council in adopting three separate housing agreements.
The agreements, if approved, would secure 156 low-end market rental (LEMR) affordable housing units, 120 market rental housing units and 17 market rental units, reads a city staff report.
The developer, Polygone Homes, is looking to develop two six-storey, mid-rise towers with 100 per cent rental housing. One stand-alone affordable housing building will have 156 LEMR units while the other rental building with 120 market rental units.
This would apply to the proposed development at:
- 8671, 8731, 8771, 8831/8851 Cambie Rd.
- 8791 Cambie Rd. and 3600 Sexsmith Rd.
- 3480, 3500, 3520, 3540/3560 Sexsmith Rd.
Public works and transportation committee (Thursday)
Council members will review current construction traffic and parking management plans (TMP).
According to a city staff report, concerns regarding construction-related vehicles have increased in the Spires Road neighbourhood as a number of redevelopment projects are underway.
City staff has proposed three options to address parking concerns including maintaining contact with contractors and/or bylaw staff, collecting a security deposit as part of a construction TMP plan to prevent contractors from parking in residential areas, or implementing a residential permit parking zones within certain hours.
