I do not think the the types of the buildings proposed are matching with the existing neighborhood residences around that lot. It would make more sense to add the buildings like Townhouses & low rise condos instead.

It's such a tragedy that the City Hall is so addicted to development permits and has no regard for community and neighbourhood. Once again, this project is way too large and completely disregards bike lanes, school and a generally quiet neighbourhood. There will be hundreds of more cars, considerably more pollution, noise and probably more accidents. This does NOT represent neighbourhood but unfortunately, no one is qualified at City Hall to understand this...shame shame..Vancouver has been destroyed once again for the advancement of foreign investment. Vancouver is ANTI community.

We are of the opinion that the proposed development in the middle of a residential neighbourhood will detract from the sense of openness and does not add anything to the gentrification of the area. We have single family homes, townhouses and a split 4 story split condo townhouse adjacent to this proposed development and find that the height of the proposed building and its density and being 1 and 2 bedroom units is not what fits with the current residential area.
The proposed complex backs up to the most westerly side of our townhouse. Our biggest concern will be the blocking of natural sunlight, sightlines and adversely affect our privacy. We do believe that having such a large development adjacent to our townhouse complex will detract from the overall serenity in the neighbourhood. We enjoy our landscaped garden having family gatherings dinners and privacy, which will be impacted by the new residents looking down into our garden and bedrooms.
Would council consider having the development 15-18 feet away instead of the proposed 10 feet, In addition having the proposed building on the westerly side of our complex, begin at say 3 stories high and terraced up to a maximum of 5 stories, thereby allowing more natural light and more privacy in our backyards and townhouse

West 59th is the North Arm bike trail, has a park and school and is a quiet neighbourhood street. Any rezoning and building should reflect the current architecture and characteristics of this neighbourhood and street. This structure would be better suited to Cambie or another major thoroughfare.

This project is unacceptable for this neighbourhood. Please reconsider it.

The park and 59th Ave are heavily used providing all a safe place to exercise and enjoy the outdoors. However with the extreme densification and especially the proposed rezoning application for 375 West 59th Ave will take all this away and we may see more unfortunate accidents.

Too dense for this location. Increased traffic is a safety risk. Not appropriate for the area.

6 stories high is unacceptable for this location. Too many units. Too much densification.

The project is way out of scale. The city is encouraging our neigbourhoods to be destroyed.

Outrageous. No privacy for the existing town homes.

I agree with everything, as well as we are adjacent to this, and it will block all the light.

This neighbourhood is overcrowded with density as is with all the building that has been erected and more development on Cambie.

The proposal is too tall and dense for the immediate neighbourhood. The building finishes are also out of context for the neighbourhood.

How much densification would satisfy the city? This is endless, the more you build the more will come and ruin our pretty / tranquil Vancouver.
If your aim is convert Vancouver into Hong Kong of Canada, you rezoning policies are doing a very good job! Thanks for destroying my neighbourhood!

Too dense for the site as there is already a lot of traffic on 59th.

I feel the proposed structure is out of character for the neighborhood
