ADOPTION OF MINUTES

The Minutes of the Standing Committee on City Services and Budgets meetings of May 6 and 20, 1999, were adopted.

RECOMMENDATION

1. Vancouver Museum Revitalization - Phase 3 File: 4008

The Committee had before it an Administrative Report, dated June 3, 1999 (on file), in which the Directors of the Office of Cultural Affairs and Finance, and the Manager of Facilities Develoment sought approval of capital funds of $1,660,000 for Phase 3 of the Vancouver Museum Revitalization Program.

Clause No. 1 (cont'd)

Sue Harvey, Cultural Planner, briefly introduced the report and advised she was present to answer questions.

Greg Evans, Executive Director, Vancouver Museum, advised the Museum is better able to offer travelling exhibits and attendance at the Museum was up from the previous year. The Museum is totally committed to making Phase 3 a reality.

The following motion by Cllr. Kennedy was put and carried. The Committee, therefore,

RECOMMENDED

THAT Council approve capital funds of $1,660,000 for Phase 3 of the Vancouver Museum Revitalization Program, to be disbursed in four stages as outlined in the Administrative Report, dated June 3, 1999. Source of funding to be the Vancouver Museum Revitalization Plan Capital Budget approved as part of the 1999 Basic Capital Budget.

- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

2. Vancouver Economic Development Commission -

International City Project File: 3143

The Committee had before it an Administrative Report, dated June 8, 1999 (on file) in which the General Manager of Corporate Services sought approval of plans to use $50,000 of the Asia Pacific Legacy Fund to further develop Vancouver's role in the Pacific Rim as a major international city.

Estelle Lo, General Manager of Corporate Services, briefly reviewed the report.

Phillip Boname and Frank Came, Vancouver Economic Development Commission, described the proposal to develop Vancouver as a major international city. The Commission has already begun a major consultative effort with many individuals and organizations and has received much interest from the financial banking community. Mr. Boname and

Mr. Came also responded to questions on preparation of the study and a strategic plan.

Clause No. 2 (cont'd)

The following motion by Cllr. Clarke was put and carried. The Committee, therefore,

RECOMMENDED

THAT Council approve an amendment to the 1999 contract with the Vancouver Economic Development Commission by adding the proposed International City project at a cost of $50,000; source of funds to be the Asia Pacific Legacy Trust.

- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

3. CD-1 Rezoning - 2001 Wall Street (Cannery Row) File: 5308

and 1955/1965 Powell Street

The Committee had before it a Policy Report, dated June 1, 1999 (on file), in which the Director of Central Area Planning, on behalf of Land Use and Development, assessed an application to rezone 2001 Wall Street (Cannery Row) and 1955/1965 Powell Street and recommended the application be referred to a Public Hearing.

Dave Thomsett, Senior Planner, advised he was present to answer questions. Mr. Thomsett agreed the rezoning rationale is weak but without the rezoning, there will be many years of enforcement problems.

Doug Purdy, Doug Purdy and Associates, (brief and area zoning map filed) representing the developer and the Strata Council at Cannery Row, requested support for referral of the application to Public Hearing. The owner cooperated with the City and changed the strata documents to incorporate covenant measures relating to the lofts. The lofts are built in compliance with life safety and building code requirements. The building is a 100-year purpose built concrete building and has marginal value as an industrial site given its configuration, contextual constraints and mixed zoning setting. Approval of the application would remove a long term enforcement issue for the City and the owners.

Rick Michaels, Co-Manager, Development Applications Group, responded to questions on the previously approved development.

Clause No. 3 (cont'd)

The following motion by Cllr. Clarke was put and lost.

THAT no Public Hearing be held on the application by Doug Purdy and Associates Ltd. to rezone 2001 Wall Street (LMS3062, DL 184) and 1955/1965 Powell Street (Lot 1, DL 184, Plan LMP27466) from I-2 and M-2 to CD-1, to permit lofts in an existing artist "live/work" building and industrial and commercial uses.

- LOST (tie vote)

The following motion by the Mayor was put and lost.

THAT the application by Doug Purdy and Associates Ltd. to rezone 2001 Wall Street (LMS3062, DL 184) and 1955/1965 Powell Street (Lot 1, DL 184, Plan LMP27466) from I-2 and M-2 to CD-1, to permit lofts in an existing artist "live/work" building and industrial and commercial uses, be referred to a Public Hearing, together with:

(i) plans for 2001 Wall Street received August 7, 1998, and plans for 1955/1965 Powell Street received April 13, 1999, both approved under DE217245;
