c/o Brian Hart Company Architect (Brian Hart)
4375 West River Road
Delta, BC V4K 1R9
PROPOSAL: To rezone the property from "Tourist Accommodation

The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the development
of 32 single family detached residential dwellings on bare
land strata lots.
The Notice of the Public Hearing was read by the City Clerk. The location of the
property was indicated to the Public Hearing.
Barbara Leonard, Unit #20, 8254 – 134 Street (Westwood Estate), was in
attendance and commented that she is against the rezoning, she stated concern for
the relocation of the seniors living within the mobile homes at the site and in the
surrounding mobile parks, and also the precedence that would be set if Council
allowed this rezoning in the area.
Lillian Bailey, Unit #19, 8205 King George Highway, was in attendance and
commented that the subject site is not maintained and the trailer owners are trying
to upkeep the area surrounding their own trailers. The residents were told that a
year’s notice would be given to relocate their trailers to another site. Currently on
the site there are two mobile trailers, one person lives in a bus, another in a truck
trailer, and others live in manufactured homes on the site. The property owners
needs to clean up the site, and provide adequate water and electrical to the units.
The residents paid for pad rental and do not always have adequate water and
electrical to the site, there used to be a maintenance man on site but no longer.
Bob Colligan, Unit #106, 8224 – 134 Street, was in attendance and commented
that the site is backing on to the trailer court that he resides at. He stated that his
pad rental has increased due to higher maintenance cost, and that there is no
maintenance done on the site. He was concerned that the trailer court he resides
at will be the next site to be rezoned.
Doreen Mortensen, President of the Surrey Manufacture Home Association, Unit
#26 – 7850 King George Highway, was in attendance and commented that her
concerns are that the entrance into the site is from King George Highway; and that
there is a proposed future road that will be bounded by two other manufactured
home parks. She also stated that Squire Gates has approximately 11 units and
was concerned with what will happen with the residents and their homes as there
is nowhere for them to be relocated to. She also stated that the proposed two
storey dwellings views would be infringing on the privacy on the adjacent
properties.

Shannon Sommerfeld, 15168 – 36 Avenue, was in attendance and commented
that she is in support of this application, Surrey is a rapidly growing city, this

can go to.

in support of this application, and believes that there is no concern for the children

either picked up or dropped off inside the school boundaries.
Magen Baecker, 14469 – 19 Avenue, was in attendance and commented that she
is in support of this application, and would like to have somewhere local to kick
up her heels rather than driving downtown Vancouver. There are only a couple
local pubs in the area and she does not want to go to a sports bar and there are few
restaurants all of which have a family atmosphere. She is hoping to have a place
that she could take her staff out to and in an ambience that reflects the business
she owns of higher and upscale home decor.
Nathan Hildebrand, Land Development Associate, Representing Surrey South
Shopping Centre Ltd. (SSSC) the developer of Grandview Corners Shopping
District, located at 24 Avenue and 160 Street- was in attendance and commented
that the proposed pub and liquor store are permitted uses as defined by the CD
zoning bylaw 15610, this specific bylaw outlines uses and restrictions governing
Grandview Corners District. Over the last year and half SSSC has been designing
Grandview Corners and has entertained many interested parties that wanted to
develop a pub. This north/east quadrant is aimed at provided a high end and
complete shopping experience for the emerging and surrounding community and
U Lounge description fits in with this concept of our development. U Lounge is
aiming for a specific demographic and SSSC will ensure that there are other
dining options available in the area, ie. Starbuck, Tim Horton, Take 5 cafe, Sushi
Restaurant and a Montana’s Restaurant. We have received our development
permit approval for this quadrant before City Council. As part of the detailed
design process we have purposely located the proposed neighbourhood pub as far
south and adjacent to 24 Avenue as possible, this allowed there to be a distance of
over 512 meters from the pub to the front door of South ridge school. SSSC is
excited about this development and feels that it will positively contribute to the
overall development and truly become a destination for other citizens of Surrey.
Brian Nosko, VP of Leasing, Smart Centre, and Resident, Unit #65, 14909 – 32
Avenue, was in attendance and commented that he is in support of this
application, for the development they wanted something that was unique and
upscale and coincide with he changing demographic of Surrey, the U-lounge is
that and more.

School, was in attendance and commented that he has concerns for the application
not being site specific and that the school is only 200 meters away from this
proposal. He stated that he is concerned that patrons of the pub may interact with
students from the school, and he is concerned for after school hours. He also

stated that a concern for the traffic patterns changing. If Council is to allow this
he is requesting that conditions be attached, specifically that the proposal be site
specific.
Terry and Paul Uppal, 15877 – 39 Avenue was in attendance and commented that
they are proposing an upscale establishment, and wanted to address the concerns
that were brought up during the public hearing this evening. He provided the
following comments:
Every person employed by at the U Lounge will have attended an intense
training program; and will also have their ‘serving it right’ certification.
There will be security systems in place, including additional security staff and
monitoring cameras.
The demographics for this type of restaurant is the 25 – 50 year old market.
Interior pictures were presented and reviewed. The U Lounge is trying to
create something more geared to the adult consumer.
Regarding Southridge School, prior to this Council meeting we had meeting
with William Jones at Southridge to address any concerns. During our
discussion he had no concerns. He also stated that the children are not
allowed to leave the school grounds during school hours and the primary
operating hours of the pub will be after school has been released.
Our establishment will be socially responsible.
U Lounge has submitted a petition in support of this development with over
200 signatures.
The U Lounge will have a specific address when the development reaches the
building permit stage.
In terms of capacity the U Lounge will have a total capacity of 295 patrons,
the U Lounge will also sign a ‘good neighbour’ agreement with the RCMP
and the Fire Department.
The U Lounge will only have background music and there is no intent to have
a dance floor or to become a nightclub.
The U Lounge will have a full menu, and will offer a variety of lunch items, at
night it will be a tapas type restaurant.
The primary patio of 70 seats will be facing 24 Avenue. The lease agreement
with Smart Centre stipulates what we can do in the building, and does not
allow a nightclub type of business.
There was a petition of 204 signatures on table from Terry Uppal expressing
support of the proposed project. There was correspondence on table from the
