CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose Have you noticed how many empty retail spaces there already are in this neighborhood? Why Renee Foran Fairview Birch Street (formerly 1296 West do we need more retail spaces that will likely lead to more empty spaces? Have you noticed No web Broadway) how much traffic there already is in this neighborhood? Building a 28 storey building would attachments. RUIN this neighborhood that I have lived in and loved for almost 30 years! A building this size is totally unnecessary and it does not fit the character of this area. And if this building goes ahead I am sure it will lead to more gigantic unnecessary buildings in the area. When the original plan came out it was for a much smaller building that would make more sense in this area. I feel like no one cares what is happening to this city, and in particular this area. It is sad and I am VERY AGAINST this huge building being built. 07/08/2020 15:57 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I have serious reservations about this project, and several days ago I signed up to speak at the Ron Sterne Fairview APPENDIX A Birch Street (formerly 1296 West public hearing.

I am Broadway) concerned that I have been dropped from the list, so I am taking the liberty of sending to you what I had hoped to say. It is somewhat truncated from what it would have been had it started out as a written submission. The five-minute time constraint forced the omission of references and additional examples and detail. However, here it is as a word attachment. 07/08/2020 15:59 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I am opposed to the allowance for this building.

CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Birch Street (formerly 1296 West Broadway) (OPPOSED) 07/08/2020 16:01 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I am a renter in the South Granville area. I support the City's goals of building new rental stock Janis Hamilton s.22(1) Personal and Fairview Birch Street (formerly 1296 West & affordable housing, but not at the expense of successful neighbourhoods and the people who Confidential No web Broadway) live in them. This application is not supposed to happen during a community planning process- attachments. it is a questionable spot-rezoning that pre-empts the Broadway Plan. 28 floors would be completely out of character and context in its surroundings of 11-15 storey buildings and low- mid rise businesses and homes in the communities around it. It's height and scale offends the Broadway Plan Guiding Principles of encouraging contextual design. It does not meet the requirements of MIRHPP that say it must respect transitions to surrounding areas and homes. There it would be, double the height, the tallest building, sitting awkwardly all by itself on Broadway. Perched high on Fairview Slopes, it will affect light and air corridors, shade the sidewalks and businesses on the north side of Broadway and reach down the Slopes and over to Kitsilano most significantly in our darkest months. This is not a vanity concern- light and sunshine are needed for healthy communities. Knowingly placing not one - but many communities- under the shadow of a building mass is a serious concern. If permission is granted to build 28 stories on Broadway, it will open the way for even higher towers. Once done- why not again? Alternatively, what if the Broadway Plan limits a maximum acceptable height along the Corridor to 16 floors- then what. We are left with this "out of touch" isolated skyscraper. Let?s not be lulled into thinking this cannot happen. Ironically, a signature 28 floors development will create a threat to the large existing rental stock and its current renters. The development cycle of increased property values and taxes will affect landlords who have to raise rents or sell their properties for redevelopment, intended to attract top rents. Affordability becomes an issue for renters and in the end, they have to leave the neighbourhood we all call home. All this for 58 somewhat affordable units, 200 premium view rental units that will be unaffordable to most, lost revenues in concessions for the developer, no value-add in community amenities and a 28 storey building that the community is strongly opposed to? Surely we can do better. I request you oppose this rezoning application- 16 floors is already approved. Enough. 07/08/2020 16:08 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I am opposed to this proposal. Please see my letter, attached Paula Fairview APPENDIX B Birch Street (formerly 1296 West Broadway) 07/08/2020 16:17 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I live in the Fairview part of Vancouver and I oppose the 28-storey rezoning proposed for 2538 Ray Hryciuk Fairview Birch Street (formerly 1296 West Birch Street. I am concerned that this proposed development is inconsistent with the existing No web Broadway) conforming factor [buildings on Broadway are 12-14 storeys high) and it will set a precedent for attachments. higher buildings in the future. 07/08/2020 16:18 PH2 - 1.

Good urban design principles suggest that the building should be of a scale and height that respects the density and streetscape of the surrounding area. Please vote against this rezoning. 07/08/2020 16:54 PH2 - 1. CD-1 AMENDMENT: 2538 Oppose I have been living in this neighbourhood for almost 40 years and feel very strongly that a Andrea Aikens Fairview Birch Street (formerly 1296 West building of this size and scale is not in keeping with this neighbourhood. I would definitely No web Broadway) support a rental building of 16 floors as originally proposed. The community cannot attachments. accommodate the occupants of 28 floors. There is already limited parking, green space, community centres, and schools, just to start. The appearance of this monolith is unsightly and will set an unwelcome precedent. Please rethink this development application and make it more aligned with the current Broadway Plan. 07/08/2020 16:57 PH2 - 1.
