7 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE INTRODUCTION 1.1 — Purpose & Overview This document is a continuation of the Phase 1 Consultation Guide for the development of a new Lochdale Urban Village Community Plan (The “Lochdale Plan”). It is intended to build on the results of Phase 1 Public Consultation and to outline the draft vision, land use concepts and policy directions that were developed for Phase 2 of the Lochdale community plan process. These draft materials will be further developed as additional feedback and comments are received from the public and other stakeholders during the Phase 2 public consultation process.

The Lochdale Plan is intended to guide the long-term, gradual and incremental development of Lochdale over the next 50 years. It also presents an opportunity to plan for:

• A new and unique Urban Village character in Lochdale • A carbon neutral community by 2050 • New public spaces, community services and amenities for residents • An expanded mix of market and non-market housing options • New local employment opportunities • Change and reinvestment as the existing building stock ages • The creation of a multi-modal transportation hub • The enhancement of the natural environment, and increased connection and access to nature • The accommodation of regional growth

8 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE INTRODUCTION 1.2 — Where We Are On July 27, 2020, City Council endorsed the preliminary goals and land use framework for the Lochdale Plan, as a basis to initiate the first phase of the Community Plan process. Phase 1 Public Consultation occurred during fall 2020 to collect feedback on the future identity, vision, goals, land use framework and Plan area boundary for the Lochdale Urban Village.

Phase 2 of the Lochdale Plan will collect public and stakeholder input on a draft vision for the Plan, as well as input on policy directions for how different areas in the Plan will be developed. Phase 3 is scheduled for later in 2021 and will include a final Draft Plan for City Council consideration and further public consultation.

The Lochdale area is located LOCHDALE along Hastings Street, west of the Conservation Area and the campus. The community currently includes commercial uses on Hastings Street, surrounded largely by single and two-family residential uses, and industrial and petrochemical uses to the north. Community amenities such as Lochdale Community Hall and several parks and pedestrian/cycling trails currently serve the neighbourhood. Figure 1: Green connections in northeast Burnaby

A transportation network reached Lochdale in advance of settlement, and shaped the development of the neighbourhood. The first roads to serve the neighbourhood were the Hastings-Barnet Road (1903), and the Pole Line Road (now Sperling Avenue) built in 1905.

Electric streetcar service was introduced on Hastings Street in 1913, terminating at Ellesmere Avenue. By 1949 a network of bus routes served the area.

12 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE Early settlers farmed acreages in a close-knit community. Large lots were replaced after the war with suburban style housing.

Up until the 1950s, Lochdale was characterized by small acreages, where residents engaged in small scale agricultural production, growing food and raising livestock for family consumption and sale. The relative isolation of the area created a close-knit community.

Burnaby’s post-war population boom led to suburban development that re-shaped the Lochdale neighbourhood by increasing the density of residential areas. Westridge Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary School were built to in response to the post-war population boom.

13 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE INTRODUCTION Commercial development in the Lochdale Urban Village has included both purpose-built commercial and mixed uses.

The earliest commercial buildings were located at Hastings and Sperling and served the immediate neighbourhood. Industrial land uses were later encouraged, including the establishment of a Shell Oil refinery during the Great Depression, and the designation of lands at the intersection Hallett’s Poultry at 6947 Hastings was established in 1940 and of Hastings and Sperling as a node for light persisted as a mixed residential, commercial and agricultural industrial development in the 1948 Town Planning operation until at least 1980. Bylaw. Though subsequent municipal land use [556-613, City of Burnaby Archives] studies and plans did not include industrial land de­­­signations, an eclectic blend of commercial, industrial, and residential uses persisted.

The Lochdale General Store was constructed at Hastings and The first phase of the Kensington Square Plaza shopping centre was Sperling in 1913 for proprietor Eudore (Dora) Lochead. When a Post constructed in the late 1960s, and later expanded in the late 1980s Office was added in 1914, Lochead chose the name “Lochdale”, to form the Kensington Square Shopping Centre at 6500 Hastings. which was a combination of her last name and “dale” to describe the [556-175, City of Burnaby Archives] surrounding geography.

14 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE INTRODUCTION 1.5 — Plan Area Boundary Areas and properties included in the Lochdale Plan boundary will become part of the overall review process whereby future land uses, transportation networks, parks and amenities are considered in the context of the wider Community Plan. As shown on Figure 3, the proposed Focus Area is centred along Hastings Street commercial uses, and includes or is adjacent to residential neighbourhoods, parks, schools, and Shell lands to the north. Phase 1 consultation considered expanding the Lochdale Plan boundary to include properties north of Inlet Drive and east of Cliff Avenue, which at present are primarily single and two-family residential areas.

The feedback from Phase 1 public consultation varied, with some advocating for limited to no land use changes in areas outside the focus area, and others showing support for the inclusion of these properties with added housing choices. Phase 2 will continue to explore and garner input on more specific options on how this Plan could include direction for additional areas outside the Focus Area in a manner that recognizes its context within an Urban Village, and considering the potential for sensitive ground-oriented infill housing choices that could be developed incrementally over the long term based on the desires of individual residents and families.

PART 2: SHAPING THE FUTURE

17 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE SHAPING THE FUTURE 2.1 — Urban Villages in Burnaby Lochdale is one of 13 neighbourhoods designated under Burnaby’s Official Community Plan (OCP) as an Urban Village. In contrast to Burnaby’s Town Centres like Metrotown and Brentwood which are more regionally-focused and feature larger, high-density scales of urban growth and development, Urban Villages provide more moderate multi-family residential densities near locally-serving commercial uses, employment, recreation, schools and other everyday services close-to-home. The mix of services and housing in Urban Villages helps to bridge the gap between the Town Centres and small-scaled commercial and residential neighbourhoods in the City.

The level of existing or future transit service helps to guide the general scale and density for each Urban Village. Larger Urban Villages are located adjacent to SkyTrain stations, medium Urban Villages are located adjacent to existing or future Rapid Transit service, and smaller Urban Villages are accessible mainly by the Frequent Transit Network (FTN) routes or other public transit routes (see Figure 4). Mixed-use Urban Villages, which include a range of residential uses complemented by various commercial uses and community services, are intended to share some common characteristics as part of their unique role in the City:

• welcoming and comfortable neighbourhoods that provide access to a diverse mix of housing, services, activities, experiences, and nature;

• compact, tight-knit neighbourhoods that are easily accessed and explored within short walking or cycling distance and where residents can conveniently access daily needs and services on foot;

• streets, pathways, trails and public spaces that provide for movement in, out and through the neighbourhood, while also acting as outdoor “living rooms” with opportunities for rest, relaxation, recreation and social interaction;

• a focus on providing new usable public parks and open space, as well as the protection and enhancement of sensitive natural habitats and green spaces; and

• additional housing choices for existing and future residents as part of longer term incremental growth and renewal in the neighbourhood.

As one of the first Urban Villages to undergo a new Community Plan process in recent years, and with Hastings Street being identified for future Rapid Transit, Lochdale has the opportunity to lead by example and to influence how other transit-oriented Urban Villages can adopt similar core values to grow and evolve sustainability in the coming decades.

20 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE SHAPING THE FUTURE 2.3 — Sustainable Place-Making as a Core Value Phase 1 consultation was based on seven Council-endorsed preliminary goals and associated sub-goals. To encourage a more focused discussion, Phase 2 will be centered on Sustainable Place-making as a core value, around which draft land use designations and policy directions for the Lochdale Plan will be shaped, in the areas of Land Use and Development; Parks, Public Space and Mobility; and Housing, Community Amenities and Services. PHASE 1: PHASE 2:

Community Character + Identity

Local Economy + Employment Sustainable Place-Making Built Form + Community Design Character Areas, Land Use Public Realm, & Development Parks + Open Spaces Parks, Housing, Community Public Space Amenities + Services & Mobility Housing, Environmental Sustainability Community Amenities & Services Mobility + Connectivity

Phase 1 consultation focused on the Phase 2 consultation integrates the seven goal areas into seven goal areas above. three policy sections and a core value of sustainable place-making.

WHY SUSTAINABLE PLACE-MAKING? Sustainable Place-making has been identified as a core value to help guide future change and improvements in the Urban Village in a way that contributes to a more sustainable economic, social and environmental future, while at the same time enhancing the sense of place and pride that people have in their community. Designing for sustainable neighbourhoods that are also highly desirable, convenient, and fulfilling places to be a part of, was identified as a result of feedback received from Phase 1 consultation. Sustainable place-making considers how to design places that encourage social interaction, collaboration and connectivity, support for local business and economy, inclusion and access for all residents, and stewardship of the environment and natural features which make the community special. A strong, connected, and well-served community also supports a neighbourhood’s resiliency and capacity to respond to future challenges or adversity. Urban Villages are ideal places to plan for future development with Sustainable Place-making in mind, because they are smaller, more locally-focused neighbourhoods with new and long-standing residents alike. They have opportunities for a diverse collection of public spaces, housing choices, employment, and natural assets, which are unique from higher-intensity Town Centres. Another key characteristic of Urban Villages is their ability to provide a wide cross-section of both urban and natural experiences all within one neighbourhood.

PART 3: MOVING FORWARD

22 LOCHDALE URBAN VILLAGE COMMUNITY PLAN - PHASE 2 CONSULTATION GUIDE MOVING FORWARD 3.1 — Character Areas, Land Use & Development

Identifying a set of distinct but interconnected character areas within the Lochdale Urban Village is an effective way to describe future land uses, building forms, and urban design across the Urban Village. It also ensures that future development in Lochdale, however complex, diverse and multi-faceted, still results in a cohesive and complete community. The character area map on the following page (see Figure 5) details five character areas and how they are bound together by parks, green corridors, schools and community uses across the entire Urban Village. The proceeding pages describe each character area with respect to their roles within the Urban Village and potential land uses and urban forms that may be considered.

While each character area is meant to serve a specific purpose and provide a unique experience within the Urban Village, certain land uses may extend across multiple character areas to provide for the diverse housing, cultural and social needs of the local community, including the following:

HOUSING A mix of home ownership and rental options, including market and non-market housing, and an expanded offering of housing types for individuals, couples and families at different life stages and with varying needs and abilities.

LOCAL COMMERCIAL AND EMPLOYMENT Throughout the Urban Village Focus Area (Figure 3), opportunities for small-scale neighbourhood commercial uses to serve nearby residents (e.g. cafes, smaller grocers, and other small retailers), as well as close-to-home employment spaces such as offices and live-work units.

COMMUNITY SERVICES Daycares, community programs, meeting or maker spaces, and other services and amenities that support human connection, interaction and community participation.

PUBLIC SPACE Parks, trails, plazas, and other publicly-accessible outdoor open spaces for all to enjoy.

URBAN VILLAGE PARKS AND PUBLIC USES These areas represent open public spaces and corridors throughout the neighbourhood that link the Urban Village together. While not a character area per se, they connect the other character areas together, as well as residents, employees and visitors in the Urban Village. These areas span across the entire Urban Village and consist of Lochdale’s existing parks, schools, open spaces, trail networks, and community amenities (e.g. Lochdale Community Hall) that are already valued by the community and its visitors. Opportunities are identified to expand upon these existing assets to further contribute to a network of public uses and amenities that respond to community needs and play a role in defining the Lochdale Urban Village identity. Key ideas to be considered through this Plan process include the expansion of the Lochdale Community Hall site and Westridge Park, as well as the potential creation, of a pedestrian-focused Georgia Street green corridor and walkway through future redevelopment over the long-term. Park expansions or enhancements will also work to facilitate the ultimate re-alignment of the Great Trail and allow this community to be a hub for active transportation.

Mixed-use building fronting Concept for the Village Centre Mixed-Use area Hastings Street at Madison Avenue along Hastings Street, near Kensington Avenue VILLAGE CENTRE MIXED-USE The Village Centre Mixed-Use character area is the main gateway to Lochdale at the western extent of the Urban Village, characterized by mid-rise, mixed-use forms along both sides of Hastings Street between Kensington Avenue and Clare Avenue. This area would be identified by its wide public walkways and well programmed public plazas, its rapid transit service, and its active retail, restaurant and commercial storefronts along Hastings Street. This area would also accommodate other employment and community uses, including offices space and community services. The diverse mix of uses and commercial presence would extend north and south of Hastings Street along a new mixed-use street (Brooklyn Avenue extension) to create a central neighbourhood hub with public spaces, plazas, shopping, restaurants, and community services all slightly removed from the busier arterial Hastings Street. Buildings in the Village Centre Mixed-Use area form a mid-rise street wall along both sides of Hastings Street, ranging between 5-8 storeys. Taller building heights up to 12 storeys could be considered at the central intersection of Hastings Street and the proposed Brooklyn Avenue extension, or further setback from Hastings Street in a manner that still provides the pedestrian with access to sunlight and a comfortable scale of mid-rise development. Buildings fronting Hastings Street would commonly feature upper-storey setbacks above 4-6 storeys to reduce the scale of the building and create opportunities for outdoor space overlooking the street.

VILLAGE CENTRE RESIDENTIAL The Village Centre Residential character area is primarily comprised of multi-family residential uses and public spaces adjacent to Hastings Street and the Village Centre Mixed-Use character area. A full range of market and non-market housing options in the Village Centre would help the commercial and transit uses along Hastings Street thrive, while also adding life and vibrancy to the Village Centre throughout the day. Buildings in this area would be terraced and positioned around plazas or open courtyards to create ample outdoor space on the ground and above. Variation in building heights are encouraged, with heights generally ranging between 4-12 storeys. Taller building heights (up to 14 storeys south of Hastings Street or 18 storeys north of Hastings Street) could be considered in select cases where the buildings are well set back from Hastings Street and feature multiple stepped back terraces to soften the building scale, add architectural interest, and create additional outdoor space. At street-level, opportunities exist in this character area for distinct and quieter public plazas and central green spaces with spaces for rest, recreation and social interaction, away from the louder and busier environment along Hastings Street.

HASTINGS CORRIDOR The Hastings Corridor, east of Clare Avenue and generally west of Inlet Drive, primarily accommodates multi-family residential buildings with consideration for some ground-oriented employment uses. Where feasible, opportunities for employment and service-based uses at or near grade would be considered, including temporary uses prior to a site’s redevelopment. This could also include opportunities to accommodate the creative economy (e.g. live-work units, artist studios, workshops, galleries) which are environmentally-friendly and non-disruptive, as well as new ground-level office spaces that act as an asset and service to the local neighbourhood. Building heights range generally between 4-6 storeys, to form a distinct lower height transition from the Village Centre further west along Hastings Street. Creative approaches are to be explored in order to provide quality outdoor space, including corner public plazas and usable rooftop space. The Hastings Corridor area benefits from its adjacency to some proposed big moves for Lochdale, including the potential expansion of the Westridge Elementary School and Park to accommodate additional space for fields, park amenities, school expansion, or other community uses. Further, this area is adjacent to a hub for active transportation routes including the pedestrian and cycling bridge over Hastings Street, the Great Trail, the Burnaby Mountain and Drummond’s Walk Urban Trails, and the Cliff Avenue bike route.

VILLAGE RESIDENTIAL CORE The Village Residential Core is the residential heart of the community. This character area would provide for a large share of the new market and non-market multi-family housing in the community that is all a walk away from nearby public transit, everyday commercial needs, and community services. Building heights would vary between 3-8 storeys. Lower building heights (up to 4 storeys) would be considered more appropriate for buildings that are located adjacent to lower-density areas along Union Street, Duthie Avenue, Ridge Drive, or Hastings Street east of Barnet Road. For other areas, development with building heights up to 6 storeys should respond to contextual factors such as neighbouring land uses and building forms. This could include stepping down to 3 storey townhouses fronting a park, or adding open space or building terraces to help transition to adjacent lower building heights. Consideration could be given for up to 8 storey buildings in select locations adjacent to the Village Centre character areas, or as part of a mixed-use development in the Neighbourhood Square. The Neighbourhood Square is a component of this character area at the intersection of Pandora Street and Barnet Road, which frames the northeastern extent of the Urban Village. The intersection would be characterized by mixed-use buildings with street- level retail and commercial uses and residential uses above. Commercial uses, as they exist in this location today, would continue to focus on smaller-scale uses focused on serving day-to-day needs of nearby residents in a quieter and slower-paced destination and meeting place (e.g. cafes, smaller grocery stores, and other small retailers or service providers). Through the renewal of the housing stock over time, new development would include streetscape upgrades, new mobility connections, and the addition of quality public spaces within these residential neighbourhoods. This includes the potential to extend Frances Street east to Westridge Elementary School and Park, to create a pocket park abutting the Lochdale Community Hall, and to turn Georgia Street into a pedestrian focused and potentially car-free corridor with with wide pathways, street furniture, playgrounds, gathering spaces, trees and landscaping.

The blocks along Union Street, west of Cliff Avenue, are within the proposed Focus Area of the Plan (see Figure 3), with the purpose of providing a respectful transition to residential neighbourhoods further south, and would include townhouses, row-houses or low-rise apartment forms up to 3 storeys in height. The remaining Transitional and Infill Residential areas east of Cliff Avenue will be further studied and consulted on through Phase 2 to determine what kinds of additional housing choices could support existing and future residents in this area, while also aligning with the objectives of the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing, the draft HOME: Burnaby Housing + Homelessness Strategy, and other evolving housing policies. This review will consider opportunities for smaller and more affordable pedestrian-oriented housing choices such as duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses, and rowhouses. Additional housing options will respect the existing lower-density character of these neighbourhoods with building heights generally remaining at 2-3 storeys
