制止市府計劃去讓貴樓的“高速公路”來摧毀華埠！Stop The City’s Freeway Of Condos in Chinatown

如您所知，溫市市府正在更新“唐人街經濟振興行動計劃”和修改華埠發展政策。As you know, the City of Vancouver is updating the Chinatown Economic Revitalization Action Plan (CRAP) and revising Chinatown’s Development Policies.

方案包括放鬆高度限制（在緬街最高達到150尺，約14層），200尺闊的大廈正面寬度，以及消除公開諮詢（包括開放日和公聽會），容許更多市場發展侵入華埠。 按照經常所發生的，市府沒有通知很多在華埠、士達孔拿和東端的大廈和居民。Proposed changes include height restrictions being laxed (with a maximum of 150′ or 14 stories on Main St), 200′ wide storefronts, and gutting the public consultations (open houses and public hearings), making it a free for all for future market developments. As per usual with consultation processes, the City failed to notify residents in many buildings in Chinatown, Strathcona, and the Downtown Eastside.

在去年11月我們所舉辦的記者會之後，市府答應再次舉辦一個開放日。這開放日，明天就舉行。窮人受攻擊 ！我們做什麽？一齊反擊！After our press conference last November, the City has agreed to organize another Open House, which is taking place tomorrow.  Poor people under attack! What do we do?  Stand up, fight back!

明天，齊來參與我們的行動，叫市府停止阻止居民發聲和排除他們做出決定關於他們的家園，他們的唐人街！Join our disruptance tomorrow to call out the City for silencing the voices’ of the residents and excluding them from making decisions about their home, Chinatown!

作為更政策檢討過程的一部份，市府正在“接受”意見（市府說實則截止日期是上星期1月27日，所以請儘快提交您的意見）。 您可以在這網站提交您的意見。
As part of the development policy review process, the City is “accepting” comments (technically the City said the deadline was January 27, 2017 so please submit your comments ASAP). You can submit them online here.

與我們一齊告訴市府:
1）規劃區統一
2）新大廈至少一半面積要作爲社區房屋
社區房屋定義：要按着福利金額或養老金額的30%出租
3）“歷史區”的高度限制：最高50尺（100%低收入房屋另外考慮）
4）大廈正面寬度最多50尺（若不是為牟利發展另外考慮）
5）立刻建立華埠為“歷史保留區” (Heritage Conservation Area):對全加拿大社群有重大的歷史意義
6）特别扶助唐人街合適文化的商店（減低合適文化承租人的地稅；增加其它文化附加費)
7） 反對連鎖店 （像舊金山華埠）
8）包括奇化街105號的訴求：

• 拒絕發展商Beedie Living的更改土地用途申請
• 在這個地點，非牟利發展
• 請求上級政府共同尊重105奇化街對華人社群的重要性而微收應地
• 樓上每一個單位都是福利金或養老金額出租
• 一間跨代多用社交地方（重點是為長者服務）在這個地點，非牟利發展

Join us in telling the City:
1) Chinatown to be one zoning district
2) At least 50% of the gross floor area of new developments in Chinatown be for social housing
3) “Historic Area” maximum height of 50ft (100% social housing projects considered separately)
4) Building frontages 50ft wide maximum (not-for-profit developments considered separately)
5) Immediately designate Chinatown as a Heritage Conservation Area
6) Support culturally appropriate Chinatown retail (property tax deductions for culturally appropriate Chinatown retail, property tax levy for culturally inappropriate Chinatown retail)
7) No chain stores (like in San Francisco’s Chinatown)
8) Including demands for 105 Keefer St.’s site:

• Reject the rezoning application by Beedie Living
• No market housing at this site
• For all 3 levels of government to acquire the 105 Keefer St. site
• 100% social housing at shelter rate or 30% of the OAS income
• An intergenerational, multi use community space, with an emphasis on seniors
