Rezoning 3360-020-2020/04
We are writing in support of both the OCP Amendment 3440-020-2020/01 and the Rezoning 3360-020-2020/04 because of several reasons:
- The intersection of Helmcken Road and Island Highway is one of the natural centre points for View Royal.
- Being located at a low point in the natural landscape mitigates the proposed six storey building height.
- There is already commercial on three corners of the intersection and the fourth corner is parkland, so this development could be a catalyst to a comprehensive urban node.
- View Royal needs more walkable destination shopping and service locations, because services at Admirals Road, and Eagle Creek, although good, are a long way from where we live, so we usually drive there.
- Walkable neighbourhoods make better cities, this is being proven all across North America today. See the book ‘Walkable City’ by Jeff Speck.
We look forward to this development moving forward.
Thank you,
JC Scott & Anita Rydygier 291 Kerwood Street, View Royal, V9B 1A2
