The following response has been provided by the applicant team: The businesses that are currently located on the site are on short term leases in lieu of redevelopment. It is up to them where they choose to go but they will be able to continue to operate until closer to the start of construction. Retail space is proposed in the new development and will be marketed to rent closer to building completion – the businesses could choose to apply if they are interested.

Thanks for the question. The proposed development is required to comply with the Parking By-law with respect to off-street vehicle parking spaces and is well-sited to encourage reduced vehicle trip and parking demand. It is in close proximity to the frequent transit network (Burrard St and Pacific St), cycling infrastructure (existing bikeways along Burrard St, Hornby St, and Pacific St) as well as the Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line Station. A Transportation Demand Management Plan is required which helps to further reduce development demand for vehicle trips and parking.

As part of the rezoning process, Engineering staff include a review of the application with respect to transportation impacts and, if identified, may include development conditions for off-site requirements to improve transportation operations and safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists adjacent to the site.
