More homes are set to be built in fast-growing - or changing - neighbourhoods in Coquitlam.
And in October, residents will get a chance to comment on the bids at a public hearing at city hall.
At a meeting this month, city council gave first reading to the following rezoning applications:
Mosaic Homes is seeking to build 32 street-oriented village homes (resembling duplexes) and 10 single-family homes at the southeast corner of Soball Street and Gislason Avenue on Burke Mountain.
The city wants to re-designate its property at 1188 Pinetree Way from RS-1 (one-family residential) to C-4 (City Centre commercial) for future developers.
Farzin Yadegari Architect plans to build a four-storey, 42-unit apartment block at 626 and 630 Como Lake Ave., near Burquitlam Plaza and close to the planned Evergreen Line station.
And Polygon Homes is asking for a change in land use to build 95 strata duplexes on a 8.6-acre consolidated site at Highland Drive, Coast Meridian Road and Dayton Street on Burke Mountain. The bid has already received opposition from area residents citing concerns about increased density, traffic and parking, and the potential impact on property values for nearby single-family developments.
The public hearing is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 24 at Coquitlam city hall (3000 Guildford Way) at 7 p.m.
For more information on the applications, call the city clerk's office at 604-927-3000.
