    Thank you for your question. The one-storey structure on the northern edge of the site is the proposed new 74-space daycare facility. Page 7 of the applicant boards shows a site plan of the proposed daycare and complex care facility here: https://rezoning.vancouver.ca/applications/3575-kaslo-st/applicant-boards.pdf. 

    An arborist report was submitted as part of the application and through the rezoning application process staff will be reviewing the proposal to retain as many healthy existing trees as possible.

    Thank you for your questions.

    Yes, the proposed centre for children and youth living with health complexity is an initiative of B.C. Children’s Hospital and the Provincial Health Services Authority, in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the B.C. Children’s Foundation.

    If Council approves this rezoning application at a Public Hearing it will then proceed through the development permit process and following that, the building permit process to construction. With regards to timeline, the rezoning process takes approximately one year, development permits are dependent on the applicant but can be around four months and then the building permit timeline to construction is variable.

    There will be underground parking at the new centre for patients, families, staff, and visitors. Approximately 130-140 vehicle parking spaces will be provided.
