Richmond Walmart Deal Hits Buffer — Again

Plans for the $100 million Walmart-anchored shopping centre in West Cambie have once again hit a roadblock after city council’s planning committee refused to approve the project.

With only two of the five councillors on committee in support — Evelina Halsey-Brandt and Linda Barnes were in favour — the proposal was shunted back to city staff at the end of an occasionally heated two-and-half-hour meeting Tuesday.

The primary reason for stalling this time was planning chair Coun. Bill McNulty’s demand to know just how many people are expected to flock to the 14-acre shopping centre between Alderbridge Way and Alexandra Road, near Garden City Road.

It’s a factor that McNulty, whose motion it was to send the proposal back to staff, believes is critical to be aware of before he can consider sending the proposal to a public hearing.

“I’m in no rush to push this forward,” said McNulty of the now 10-year-old plans.

Vancouver Community Plans Update

After feedback from the public, Vancouver City Council asked staff to review the public consultation process for each plan area and consider extending the timelines regarding Vancouver’s four Community Plan processes currently underway (Downtown Eastside, Grandview-Woodland, Marpole and the West End).
Here is City staff’s recommendations on each Plan for consideration by  Council next week:
  • That the Downtown Eastside Local Area Plan go to Council on schedule in November 2013, and that the associated zoning and bylaw amendments be considered at that time for referral to Public Hearing in early 2014.
  • That the West End Community Plan go to Council on schedule in November 2013, and that the associated zoning and bylaw amendments be considered at that time for referral to Public Hearing in early 2014.
  • That the Marpole Community Plan, following additional community consultation on the proposed revisions to the draft plan, be deferred for additional consultation and be considered by City Council in the last quarter of 2013 or first quarter of 2014. (Approx. 3-6 month delay)
  • That  Council direct staff to extend the original schedule for the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan in order to create a Citizens’ Assembly to be organized for all areas of the Grandview-Woodlands Plan, including options and challenges related to planning appropriate transit-oriented density along the Broadway Corridor at the south end of the Community. (at least a 6 month delay)
