Growth that fits the neighbourhood, with consultation before rezoning
NEW Burnaby's About page promises housing that fits the scale and character of each neighbourhood, sewer and water work paid for before more homes are added, and consultation before rezoning. Its platform adds more flexible zoning for local businesses. It gives no costs.
HOUSING AND ZONING
NEW Burnaby on housing
The platform page has no housing section. The housing points are on the About page, which says the Province's rules for multiplex homes put oversized buildings next to 1950s bungalows and ignored old sewer and water systems. That is the organization's own view.
The About page promises "housing that fits the scale and character of the neighbourhood, infrastructure funded before density is added, real consultation before rezoning", and a City Hall that plans growth with its residents.
Under "Opportunity", the platform promises to increase flexibility in zoning for more local businesses.
