Share I am not against all re-development of Granville Street from Marpole to 16th Ave, but have questions.
1. How will this rezoning affect the Assessment/Property Taxes on my house that is located across the alley from this type of Granville Street property developments? Everyone knows rental properties house more transient people than self owned Strata Condominiums. This will drive property values down over time due to increased crime.
2. Will the city allocate additional police to patrol the face-lifted areas along Granville Street? At the moment, police presence is almost non-existent in this area.
3. I notice that the Redevelopment Application signs at 1522 West 45th Ave/6137 Granville Street and at 5828-5850 Granville Street are carbon copies of each other. Does that mean that anywhere along Granville Street will be eligible for 5 story "Market Rental"? Or, will city planners require a mixture of rentals (taller) and self owned (3 story) structures along Granville?
4. Based on your experience and data from other cities that are moving to hyper density, will we likely get "forced out"? If so, how long will it be, one, three or five years? on Facebook

Thank you for your questions. Please see responses below.
1. The City is not able to predict what the future value of your property will be after rezoning, as BC Assessment is the provincial authority responsible for determining assessed values. Their appraisers consider a property’s unique characteristics including location, size, comparable sales prices and other real estate market information. More information can be found on BC Assessment’s website. The City of Vancouver property tax rates are determined based on the assessed value of the property and on the class of property (residential, industry, business etc.).
Vancouver is facing a housing crisis and the creation of new housing is a key priority for the City. The City’s Housing Vancouver Strategy calls for housing affordability and accessibility for all people in all communities.
2. Vancouver Police are well positioned to provide appropriate responses when called upon and the City does not require police patrol in its review of rezoning applications and land use development. If there are specific concerns, we recommend you reach out to the Vancouver Police Department directly (https://vpd.ca/).
3. Under the Secured Rental Policy, sites located within ‘low-density transition areas’ are eligible for rezoning for secured 100% rental developments, if locational and other criteria are met. Granville Street, between 36th Avenue and 47th Avenue is eligible for rezoning under the Secured Rental Policy. You can review the areas and criteria for which rezoning is enabled in the Secured Rental Policy in Low-density Transition Areas Rezoning Guide. Height and size restrictions vary based on location-specific criteria.
4. Rezoning under the Secured Rental Policy is initiated by landowners and developers, who may own or purchase properties which are eligible for rezoning under the Secured Rental Policy. Existing landowners in the area who do not wish to rezone their properties are under no obligation to do so.
