The Brentwood Site presents a unique opportunity to realize the vision established by theBrentwood

Town Centre Development Plan. Inspired by the Creative City Initiative, the sites

redevelopment willtransform the existing suburban-style shopping mall into a world

class, mixed-use, transit oriented community, reasserting itself as the nucleus of

the Brentwood Town Centre area.

The site will expand its role as a shopping destination into an integrated, sustainable, urban community

offering a rich variety of indoor and outdoor shopping experiences, a variety of residential types, cafes &

restaurants, entertainment venues and offices, designed around new pedestrian oriented public plazas,

open spaces and tree-lined streetscapes.

In its new role, the Brentwood Site will enrich the social, economic and physical environment of Burnabys

western-most town centre through high quality urban design and architecture, integrated into the urban

fabric of the surrounding neighbourhood. With its direct connection to the Brentwood Town Centre

SkyTrain Station, it will offer a unique destination for all of Burnaby and the greater Vancouver area.

We had a large turn-out at the Open House last January and want to thank everyone who took time out of their

busy day to meet with us and consider the proposed Master Plan for Brentwood!

Our Team and the City Planners appreciated the neighbourhood and public interest in the vision for Brentwood

and read the many comment sheets handed in at the end of the Open House.

We heard enthusiasm for the Conceptual Plan, including the introduction of street oriented

shopping, the new Town Centre Plaza, improvements for pedestrians and cyclists and

new housing opportunities. We also heard requests for more information along with concerns about

how this plan may affect the existing neighbourhood.

Our Team has spent the lastfive months working with the City Planners to advance the Master Plan in response

to the Citys Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan goals and neighbourhood comments.

Updated to December 31, 2010.

All of Burnabys four town centres provide office, retail, and supportiveprofessional services. All are served by rapid transit. All provide an abundance ofhigher density housing opportunities. The intent is to provide complete communitieswithin each quadrant,where residents have the option to drive, walk, bike ortake transit to a local town centre where they can access the mix of goodsand services to meet their daily needs.

The Brentwood Town Centreis the designated town centre for the north-west sectorof Burnaby. The town centre is intended to be a focus of higher-density andhigher intensity residential and commercial opportunities, public transitand supporting leisure facilities.

The Brentwood Town Centre will play a significant role in the Citys growth managementstrategy by accommodating some of the overall future growth in the City. The revisedtown centre Development Plan is an important element in the Citys response tomeeting future growth allocations established for Burnaby by the Greater VancouverRegional District and to transportation initiatives establishing the Lougheed Corridor

for a light rapid transit (LRT) extension to Coquitlam as the next priority with itsresultant opportunities for additional focussed growth.

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPM ENT VISION

A major planning goal for the Brentwood Site is to achieve a transit oriented development that

takes full advantage of the existing SkyTrain and bus system. Our vision is to encourage

transit use through good urban design that seamlessly integrates and enhances

access to transit for the current and future neighbourhood.

Access is enhanced with the improvements to the public streets and by the many pedestrian

and cycling routes introduced throughout the site.

The existing off-street bus exchange will become an on-street layout, designed to address

the passenger needs of the broader neighbourhood.

COMMERCIAL STRATEGY

COM M ERCIAL STRATEGY

The Brentwood Site master plan will transform the existing exclusively internally-

oriented shopping mall site into a mixed-use urban town centre environment with a

focus on pedestrian oriented street retail and commercial uses. The site will have a full

scale range and mix of retail and commercial spaces from small boutiques to major retailers and office uses.

Larger retailers will be located discreetly in order to maintain an urban style street environment. Retail and

commercial uses will front onto the new high street, all the street entrances to the site, the public street

frontages, as well as the more intimate pedestrian mews. The intent is to create different urban

retail experiences in a pedestrian oriented town centre within an exciting public realm.

Strong, dynamic retail/commercial uses make an important contribution to the animation of the public realm

in creative cities, encouraging public interaction and innovation. Great retail environments mixed with offices,

interesting cafs, pubs and restaurants activate great public spaces and maintain a constant vibrancy. This

is especially important for large public spaces where events are not occurring on a daily basis.


7/28

RESIDENTIAL STRATEGY

CONTEXT:

The Brentwood Site will accommodate approx. 2,000 - 4,000 residential units benefiting from and mutually

supporting the variety of retail/commercial services and public amenities on the site. The

direct access to the Brentwood Town Centre SkyTrain Station is an important convenience

for the residents on the site. This type ofcomplete community development with immediate

transit access and the full range of services to meet residents daily needs will appeal to a broad

demographic mix in terms of age, ethnicity, and income. The range of unit types will suit

individuals, couples and families seeking an urban lifestyle. An inclusive demographic range will,

in turn, enliven the social environment of the site and neighbourhood.

STRATEGY:

1. Design the majority of residential density in tall, narrow buildings to optimize view corridors,minimize the massing, visual impact & shadowing

2. Locate the tallest build ing at the Southwest corner of the site (Lougheed - Willingdon Intersection)

and decrease/step down in all directions

3. Provide a Low-rise transition zone adjacent to the single-family neighbourhood

OPEN HOUSE #1

COMMENTS & RESPONSES

1. TRAFFIC, TRANSIT & PARKINGBunt & Associates, Traffic Planners and Engineers, have been working closely with the Citys Transportation Planners

to address the neighbourhood concerns about traffic in Brentwood and come up with the best solution for the integration

of the Brentwood Site Town Centre Plan into this busy neighbourhood.

Some Commuters & Local Residents are currently short cutting through Residential

Neighbourhoods from Beta Ave to Willingdon Ave.

Response:

Improve access through the Mall site - New East-West traffic connections (Brentwood Blvd.& Ridgelawn Extension) between Beta and Willingdon to relieve the northern neighbourhoods

Major on-site link between Halifax St. & Alpha Ave. the new High Street

Access & egress for the new parking focused on Willingdon & Lougheed

No vehicular connections to the lane along the north property line

What happens to the existing bus loop & access to SkyTrain?

Response:

The buses will be relocated from the existing bus loop to streetside locations in close proximity

to the Skytrain station

One bus route will stop on site, along the new High Street

Improved access to the SkyTrain Station from street level and from within the new development

Encouraging Transit use is one of the goals of the project

New escalators & elevators throughout the town centre to improve ease of access

Traffic congestion on Halifax between Lougheed & Gilmore

Response: from City of Burnaby Transportation Planning Dept.

The City has plans to improve this existing condition by:

developing new & improved east/west connection from the Halifax entry to the Brentwood

Mall Site to 1st Street

Aligning Douglas Road at Gilmore

Improving the intersection at Douglas Rd. & Halifax St. to facilitate traffic movement

Existing surface parking should go underground

Response:

Except for some convenience street parking along the new internal roads, all Commercial and

Residential parking will be discreetly located behind buildings/storefronts & below grade.

WILLINGDON & LOUGHEED:

NEW STREET EDGES

The site edges establish a unifying urban character

for their neighbourhood and address a variety of

modes of movement; cars, transit, bicycles and

pedestrians.

Both Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway

are identified in the Brentwood Town Centre

Development Plan for upgrading into more urban

pedestrian streetscapes with separated urban trails

(incl. bike paths). They will become Great Streets

with a sense of place, bounded and animated by

the mixed-uses proposed on the Brentwood Site.

The street design will include a double row of

street trees defi

ning the separated urban trail,a widened pedestrian path, and a commercial

setback next to the new commercial and

residential frontages, for a variety of outdoor

activities.

2. PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONM ENT + SAFETY

Will Pedestrian and Bicycle connections be improved?

Response:

The Brentwood Master Plan is intended to be a pedestrian-oriented, walkable community

Willingdon and Lougheed existing sidewalks will be widened and upgraded to Great Streets

with the new Burnaby Separated Urban Trail for bikes and pedestrian paths

Retail frontages will be set back to allow space for outdoor seating and other pedestrian amenities

Active pedestrian streetscapes are planned to encourage social interaction in public settings

Brentwood Site Master Plan provides multiple pedestrian connections to Willingdon, Lougheed

and Beta, while respecting the residential neighbourhood to the north

Pedestrian-only streets will also be featured on the Brentwood Site

Are measures to improve safety being considered?

Response:

Defined streets, sidewalks and multiway paths throughout the site vs. large surface parking

All the streets will have residential, retail or office Front Doors to provide Eyes on the Street

for safer neighbourhoods

Brentwoods new Town Centre plan will introduce new pedestrian lighting throughout for

added safety

The mixed-use nature of the new development will provide an active environment where the

neighbourhood will feel safe

24/7 security & a monitored security system will provide additional protection on the site

NORTHERN TRANSITION ZONE& GOOD NEIGHBOUR INITIATIVES

NORTHERN TRANSITION ZONE - PLANThis area provides a broad landscaped buffer zone between the new town centre

development and the surroun ding residential neighbour hood, that wraps around the north,

northeast and upper east borders of the Brentwood site. This transition zone includes:

Continuous green buffer along the south side of the existing lane

Separated low-rise residential buildings between Beta Avenue and Fairlawn Drive in a

landscaped setting of a similar depth to that of the neighbouring residential properties

Low-rise residential oriented perpendicular to northeastern property line with landscaped private

and semi-private open space between the low-rise buildings, to permit views from neighbouring

residential properties

No vehicular access to site along existing lane

Extension of Ridgelawn Drive through to Willingdon, with a low-speed, neighbourhood character,

including street trees and wide pedestrian paths

Large landscaped public open spaces form Book Ends to the northern transition precinct

Eastern public open space to provide a park-like setting with a pedestrian connection from the

northeast corner of the site to Ridgelawn Dr., with a further connection to Brentwood Boulevard

Landscaped, terraced residential building at the north end of the Willingdon edge, ranging

in height from 6 to 15 storeys above street level commercial use, to provide a transition in

building scale from neighbouring residential to high density town centre

OPEN HOUSE #1COMMENTS & RESPONSES

3. IN TERFACE W ITH NORTHERN RESID ENTIA L PROPERTIES

Views from the northern single family

Response:

Low-rise residential is planned for the northern transition zone to the existing single family

properties and buildings in the transition zone have been oriented perpendicular to the lane

and are separated by green open spaces to allow views from the north

Views through the low-rise residential open spaces are aligned with the open spaces between

the towers that are located above the existing Mall, to extend the views from the north

Tower shadowing impact on the surrounding neighbourhood

Response:

Minimized impact by placing majority of density in tall, narrow towers (vs. shorter and wider)

Stepped Building height - shortest to tallest at Southwest corner

Low-rise forms are proposed on the Northern Edge

Maintain existing nor th lane without additional vehicle access

Response:

Northern lane will remain as is with no vehicular access introduced from the Brentwood Site

Will the greenery along the lane be improved?

Response:

An improved green buffer has been introduced along the full length of the north lane, which

includes a landscaped tree-lined walkway

The existing access road, along the north edge of the Mall site, will be relocated to align with

Ridgelawn Dr., allowing large landscaped public open spaces at both ends of the northern edge

Extensive landscaping, tree-lined streets, landscaped roofs are planned throughout the site - a

major transformation from all the surface parking

OPEN HOUSE #1COMMENTS & RESPONSES

4 . TOW ER DENSITY & HEIGHTS

Number of High Rise Towers being introduced

Response:

The proposed density is consistent with City policy / BTCDP. No additional density is requested.

The Brentwood Master Plan follows the Citys approved Brentwood Town Centre Development

Plan (BTCDP) where increased residential density is encouraged around Skytrain Stations to

reduce dependency on cars and promote transit use

The goal is creating a Live, Work, Shop and Play mixed-use sustainable community as part of

the citys goal of creating self-sufficient Complete Communities where new residents and the

existing neighbourhood have access to their daily needs within their Town Centre

Heights of the High Rise Towers

Response:

Locating the bulk of the density in tall, skinny towers minimizes the massing, view impact, and

shadowing

The tallest towers on the Brentwood Site are strategically located at the Willingdon & Lougheed

corner and step down in height towards the existing residential neighbourhoods


25/28

SUSTAINABILITY

Preliminary sustainability review shows that the proposed design for

the Brentwood Site will result in a strong LEED-ND Gold rating. A

sustainability roadmap is outlined in the Masterplan to assist in achieving

that goal.

It provides a framework to track the development of the environmental,

economic and social design strategies into detailed quantitative

targets, as the project progresses through the various site-specific and

detailed design stages of this comprehensive master plan.
