I live in the Goldbar neighbourhood. The blanket rezoning the city has been a huge burden on homeowners, and city council should have had us vote on these new policies instead of deciding behind closed doors. I understand the need for more housing units in the city, but there are more acceptable and tactful ways too accomplish this. Right now you have a developers paradise who dont care about the surrounding context of the neighbourhood they build in, and its very disrespectful to us.

We are losing the charm and character of our city. This is an INVASION of our homes' value.

This is bad policy that does not take into account the individual characteristics of mature neighbourhoods while devaluing resident’s primary source of retirement wealth.

This change is so fundamentally important it should have gone to a plebiscite.

We are signing this petition because we see the congestion associated with 8 plex units in single family neighborhoods in Knottwood. Adding 8 plex units will crowd parking, roads and signals were never designed for this traffic flow. Safety and privacy will be a problem. 8 garbage cans infront of the units.

This reasoning has gotten out of control. The City is not listening to its residents. The city wants only our property tax money.

I have a bad neighbour who doesn't cut his grass and only lives there during the summer months when working. I'm worried that he intends to flip the house at some point and he's the kind of guy who would sell to an infill developer because they pay better than a typical homeowner. He just does not care in any way.

Apartment buildings do not belong in residential neighborhoods where family’s largest life investment is being threatened.
Having large apartments next door destroy residential values.

Don’t want to see the destruction of our older neighborhoods, loss of tree cover and flood mitigation, lack of parking; especially when areas like blanchford are ready for development

No one wants an 8-plex being built next to their single family home.

3-story, 8-unit, rental buildings are not affordable housing. Developers make a profit after one year of rent, and continue money-grabbing thereafter. Can the infrastructure handle the extra load. At least 1 parking stall per unit needs to be required.

Agreed! There needs to be a Minstrial Order put in place by our Minister of Municipal Affairs, Dan Williams, with an immediate moratorium on infill until this is reviewed!
