BRENTWOOD TOWN CENTRE VISION

THE VISION
The Brentwood Site presents a unique opportunity to realize the vision established by the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan. Inspired by the Creative City Initiative, the sites redevelopment will transform 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 ofces, 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.

OPEN HOUSE #1
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 last ve 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.

All of Burnabys four town centres provide ofce, retail, and supportive professional services. All are served by rapid transit. All provide an abundance of higher density housing opportunities. The intent is to provide complete communities within each quadrant, where residents have the option to drive, walk, bike or take transit to a local town centre where they can access the mix of goods and services to meet their daily needs. by
Quote Source: http://www.burnaby.ca/Doing-Business/Places-To-Do-Business/Town-Centres.html
The Brentwood Town Centre is the designated town centre for the north-west sector of Burnaby. The town centre is intended to be a focus of higher-density and higher intensity residential and commercial opportunities, public transit and supporting leisure facilities. The Brentwood Town Centre will play a signicant role in the Citys growth management strategy by accommodating some of the overall future growth in the City. The revised town centre Development Plan is an important element in the Citys response to meeting future growth allocations established for Burnaby by the Greater Vancouver Regional District and to transportation initiatives establishing the Lougheed Corridor for a light rapid transit (LRT) extension to Coquitlam as the next priority with its resultant opportunities for additional focussed growth. by

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT 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
COMMERCIAL STRATEGY
The Brentwood Site master plan will transform the existing exclusively internallyoriented 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 ofce 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 ofces, 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.

6
RESIDENTIAL STRATEGY
RESIDENTIAL STRATEGY
CONTEXT: The Brentwood Site will accommodate approx. 2,000 - 4,000 residential units beneting 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 of complete 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 building 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 & PARKING
Bunt & Associates, Trafc Planners and Engineers, have been working closely with the Citys Transportation Planners to address the neighbourhood concerns about trafc 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 trafc 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
Trafc 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 trafc 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 identied 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 dening 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 ENVIRONMENT + 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: Dened streets, sidewalks and multiway paths throughout the site vs. large surface parking All the streets will have residential, retail or ofce 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
ARTISTS SKETCH Continuous Green Buffer separating Low Rise Residential from Single-Family Neighbourhood to the north
NORTHERN TRANSITION ZONE - PLAN

This area provides a broad landscaped buffer zone between the new town centre development and the surrounding residential neighbourhood, 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

3. INTERFACE WITH NORTHERN RESIDENTIAL 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 north 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

4. TOWER 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-sufcient 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

24
SUSTAINABILITY
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-specic and detailed design stages of this comprehensive master plan.

25
PUBLIC ART IN THE PUBLIC REALM

Public art will be integrated throughout the site into both public open spaces and interior spaces. A variety of different forms of art will be pursued to create a rich, engaging visual environment.
Integrated into buildings - Fairmont Pacic Rim Vancouver
Interactive public screen - Millennium Park Chicago
Temporary art installations for public interaction
Integrated into buildings - Shaw Tower Vancouver
Landscape art with faux boulder - Palisades, Vancouver
Pixelated Orca - Vancouver Convention Centre
Innovative Sculpture - Shangri-La Toronto
Landscape fountain feature - Sanlitun, Beijing

26

5. TOWN CENTRE FEATURES AND SERVICES
Need for Retail variety & other Services lacking in the area
Response: Brentwood will have a full scale range and mix of retail and commercial spaces from small boutiques to major retailers to support the neighbourhood and create a great retail environment Enclosed shopping is included in the Masterplan. The Mall will be retained until the latter phases.
Suggestions received so far: Full Service Grocery Store Smaller independent stores Cafes | | | Organic Grocery Store Wholesale club | | High end stores & upscale boutiques | Entertainment uses
Neighbourhood Pub
Support for indoor/enclosed mall-style shopping in inclement weather
Provide an Arts focus to the Town Centre Plaza with west coast water feature and soft edges to sit & talk
Response: Public Art and Entertainment will play a key role in the Town Centre Plaza Creative Event Programming, both public and private, will animate the public spaces throughout the site Water features are envisioned on both levels of the plaza for visual interest and noise abatement The concept to connect the street level to the main plaza includes landscaped terraces with seating areas & shade trees in an urban garden setting
