Box 1995 • Vancouver, WA 98668-1995 www.cityofvancouver.us MEMO TO: City Center Redevelopment Authority FROM: Andrew Reule, Senior Planner Community and Economic Development Dept/Development Review Division DATE: Nov. 19, 2020 SUBJECT: Bennett Apartments Design Review REQUEST: The applicant seeks design review approval for a proposed apartment building, built partially atop an existing commercial building. Staff is seeking input from the CCRA on the design proposal. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposal is to construct a two-story apartment building atop an existing commercial building and an attached three-story apartment building for a total of 74 multifamily units. Two existing single-family homes and two small commercial buildings on the site will be demolished. The development will have 31 parking spaces on-site and 27 on-street parking spaces adjacent to the site, for a total of 58 spaces. Because the site is within the Transit Overlay District, only 0.75 parking space is required per unit, and adjacent on-street parking may count towards the total number of spaces required. Therefore, 56 spaces are required and 58 provided. PROJECT LOCATION: On the block bounded by W. 17th Street on the north, W.16th Street on the south, Columbia Street on the west and Washington Street on the east.

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

  • Chinese Canadian Entrepreneurs in Vancouver
    CLASS, RACE AND ETHNICITY: . CHINESE CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS IN VANCOUVER by AARON JEROME WEST JAMES B.A. (Hons.)., TheUruversity of Wirinipeg, 1996 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (The Department of Geography) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required^standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 1999 ® Aaron Jerome West James In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date Da (5/*K DE-6 (2/88) Abstract In research on immigrant enterprise, scholars argue that entrepreneurs mobilize informal support and resources from ethnic affiliations to overcome barriers associated with their immigrant or 'racial' status. The presumed relationship between ethnicity and entrepreneurship is relatively straight forward: immigrant entrepreneurs facing cultural or economic barriers use ethnic resources to propel their economic strategies. This assumption is brought under scrutiny in a study of Chinese Canadian immigrant entrepreneurs in Vancouver, Canada who arrived after 1967, many of whom are skilled professionals, affluent investors, and experienced entrepreneurs. Some have formed corporate ethnic enterprises and many maintain extensive social and commercial ties abroad.
