Coquitlam residents will get their chance to weigh in next week on a 35-unit residential development on Galloway Avenue and Coast Meridian Road.
The item will come before council for a public hearing on Monday, Oct. 26 along with several other bylaws the city is deliberating.
The area is currently zoned for single-family lots but because the area is environmentally sensitive, the developer is asking for a new designation.
A creek runs through the property and city staff believe plans submitted by HY Engineering would mitigate risks to an environmentally sensitive area. Instead of single-family homes the proposed development would feature mid-density housing and be pedestrian-oriented.
HEAR THIS, TOO
Also at the public hearing, residents can comment on the cold-wet weather mat program as well as a bylaw amendment for property 277 Schoolhouse St. and 1360 Glenbrook St.
The public hearing will be held Monday, Oct. 26 in council chambers at 7 p.m. Those who wish to speak can register by phone at 604-927-3010 or fax at 604-927-3015.
Everyone will be permitted to speak but those who register will be given first opportunity.
The regular council meeting will begin following the public hearing.
