RECOMMENDATION

THAT the form of development for this portion (Sub-Area 4, Site 4H) of the CD-1 zoned site known as 1010 Pacific Boulevard be approved generally as illustrated in the Development Application Number DE403063, prepared by Davidson Yuen Simpson Architects and stamped "Received, City Planning Department February 20, 1998", provided that the Director of Planning may approve design changes which would not adversely affect either the development character of this site or adjacent properties.

GENERAL MANAGER’S COMMENTS

The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.

COUNCIL POLICY

There is no applicable Council policy except that Council did approve in principle the form of development for this site when the rezoning was approved, following a Public Hearing.

PURPOSE

In accordance with Charter requirements, this report seeks Council’s approval for the form of development for the above-noted CD-1 zoned site.

SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

At a Public Hearing on April 20, 1993, City Council approved a rezoning of this site from BCPED (B.C. Place/Expo District) to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development District). CD-1 By-law Number 7248 was enacted on November 30, 1993. At a subsequent Public Hearing on February 22, 1996, Council approved amendments to the CD-1 By-law and also approved in principle, a revised form of development for this Comprehensive Development District. The amended CD-1 By-law No. 7606 was enacted on July 30, 1996. Revised companion guidelines (Quayside Neighbourhood [800 - 1100 Pacific Blvd] CD-1 Guidelines) were also adopted by Council at that time.

The site and surrounding zoning are shown on the attached Appendix ‘A’.

Subsequent to Council’s approval of the CD-1 rezoning, the Director of Planning approved Development Application Number DE403063. This approval was subject to various conditions, including Council’s approval of the form of development. The latter condition is one of the few outstanding prior to permit issuance.

DISCUSSION

The proposal involves the construction of a nine-storey non-market multiple dwelling containing 93 dwelling units with a child daycare facility on the ground floor and two-and-one-half levels of underground parking for 196 cars having vehicular access from Marinaside Crescent.

The proposed development has been assessed against the CD-1 By-law and Council-approved guidelines and responds to the stated objectives.

Simplified plans, including a site plan and elevations of the proposal, have been included in Appendix ‘B’.

CONCLUSION

The Director of Planning has approved Development Application Number DE403063, subject to various conditions to be met prior to the issuance of the development permit. One of these conditions is that the form of development first be approved by Council.
