RE: Ladner Village Tourist Hotel Accommodation
We the undersigned residents of Delta, to ensure principles of openness, transparency, accessibility, and accountability, respectfully request Mayor and Council REJECT any proposed Ladner Village Tourist Accommodation on Chisholm Street & request REVISIONS by Delta Council and City Staff for the following reasons:
- LOSS OF HERITAGE CHARACTER: A 6-storey hotel tower does not fit in a historic village.
- LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: Secrecy of the land purchase is unacceptable!
- BUSINESS EVICTIONS: sudden evictions of over 6 Ladner Chisholm St businesses is reckless, offensive and leaves a big hole in our business community.
- NO AFFORDABLE HOUSING: This hotel would NOT contribute to solving our Affordable Housing Crisis, (ie: our need for long-term affordable housing ) - instead the City should seek a reliable housing society or Co-op Housing venture for this PUBLIC land - rather than a short-term tourist profiteer. One option is Cooperative Housing Federation of BC. https://www.chf.bc.ca/
- CONTRADICTS DELTA'S HOUSING ACTION PLAN: Short-term tourist accommodation on PUBLIC land does not fit with Delta's Housing Action Plan or Official Community Plan.
- PARKING LOSS: One of Ladner's few free parking locations would be lost - resulting in parking mayhem for residents and businesses.
- SEASONAL FINANCIAL RISKS: Ladner Village is a seasonal rainy weather destination (approx Nov - May); thereby risking future empty rooms - potentially placing the City, the Public and a Hotel operator in a financial loss situation.
- LOSS OF PUBLIC LAND: A Private Business would be Profiting From Our Public Lands while "Catering to the upper scale (sub luxury) markets"

We hit five hundred signatures tonight. The work is exhausting and the opposition is relentless but seeing this many people push back against the Chisholm Street plan keeps me focused on the fight ahead.

It is heartbreaking to see what is happening to our village. Closures of many unique stores to make way for condos and a hotel. We don’t need a hotel. There’s the hotel close by at the casino. Do not continue to destroy our charming village.
A hotel in Ladner is not viable. you want to build retail space when you are closing down retail stores, does this make sense ? You want to attract people from out of town to the prposed new waterfront, which is the way to go, however you propose to build a hotel on the only parking lot in the area.
Throwing long term business owners out of their properties in a matter of months is reprehensible. A six story hotel on Ladner’s waterfront would effectively ruin the heart centre of Ladner. This council’s actions will destroy the historic character of the village and that is unacceptable.
Evictions of small local businesses, and use of public land for a hotel instead of affordable housing, make this proposal inappropriate. On both these issues, Council's actions will speak louder than words.
I was just in Ladner Village this afternoon and there is no parking to be had as it is! Delta Council, give your heads a shake….what about us locals who love those businesses and why was this area purchased so secretly? Something smells fishy, and it’s not the waterfront
Ridiculous and not needed
I have lived in Ladner all my life and I have never seen a municipal government making decisions with out considering the tax payers and if they want our tax money to be spent on something that is not required

More transparency of process is needed in Delta. Plans to bring too much density to Ladner is eroding small businesses, heritage character and the unique community of Ladner. Please reject the hotel and ensure improved consultation going forth.
