Major Metrotown development




Monday night, Burnaby council sent a major Metrotown development rezoning application to public hearing.

The public will soon get to learn more about the proposed high density high-rise which will sit atop four storeys of commercial space.

According to the staff report, the 37 storey high-rise — on the corner of Beresford Street and Willingdon Avenue — will have a plaza for public art and  the commercial space will include a 40 seat liquor establishment.

The site is also to have two electric vehicle plug-in stations and nine adaptable units for handicapped residents.

Coun. Colleen Jordan pointed out that there would be a $6.9 million amenity bonus, 20 per cent of which would be used for affordable housing.

The public hearing will be May 28 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.
