    Who is the developer for this project? How is the building going to affect traffic in this area? Where will be the CAC’s be spent in the area?

    Tracy B asked almost 2 years ago

    Q: Who is the developer for this project?

    A: As per the Applicant project team listed on the page 29 of 540 W 65th Ave and 8120-8168 Lord St - Applicant Boards (vancouver.ca), the Client/Development Manager is Landmark Premiere Properties Ltd.

    Q: How is the building going to affect traffic in this area?

    A: The rezoning application proposes a modest sized rental project in an area well served by transit. This project will be required to meet the Parking By-law. However, the Applicant has submitted a transportation demand management plan, and through transportation demand management strategies, this project may be eligible for parking reductions. The Applicant has also submitted a transportation assessment and management study by Bunt and Associates dated July 29, 2022. The study states,  “the proposed form of development is expected to generate approximately 37 vehicle trips during both the weekday AM and weekday PM peak hours. Even without considering the trip generation of the existing site, the proposed development vehicle trip generation is well below the generally accepted threshold of 100 or more added (new) peak direction trips.” 

    Q: Where will be the CAC’s be spent in the area?

    A: As part of reviewing the rezoning application, staff will review the financial performance of the application to determine if a community amenity contribution (CAC) is generated. A CAC may result in a cash contribution which may be directed to the Marpole Plan Public Benefits Strategy or could result in improved affordability in the project. However at this point, staff are still reviewing the application materials and no conclusions have been made yet.
