A proposal to build two six-storey wood frame apartment buildings in the Austin Heights neighbourhood will go to a public hearing at Coquitlam council on Monday night.

If approved, the 161-unit development would be located in the 600-block of Shaw Avenue on lots where detached homes are currently located. 

According to a staff report, the project will consist of 68 one-bedroom units, 76 two-bedroom units and 17 three bedroom units. It will also generate an estimated $1.45 million in development cost charges and $392,080 in voluntary community amenity contribution funds to the city. 

Residents can weigh-in on the proposal during Monday’s public hearing in council chambers (3000 Guildford Way) at 7 p.m. Comments can also be provided by email ([email protected]) or fax (604-927-3015).

The city said written submissions, including names and addresses, will become part of the public record which includes the submissions being made available for public inspection at Coquitlam City Hall and on our website at www.coquitlam.ca/agendas.
