RECOMMENDATION

THAT the form of development for this portion of the CD-1 zoned site known as 800 - 1100 Pacific Boulevard (1088 Marinaside Crescent being the application address) be approved generally as illustrated in the Development Application Number DE404731, prepared by Busby & Associates Architects and stamped "Received, City Planning Department December 4, 2000", 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 July 29,1999, Council approved amendments to the CD-1 By-law to add the water lot for the Marina to the CD-1 By-law and to limit the number of berths in the Marina to a maximum of 150. The amending By-law No. 8133 was enacted on November 30,1999 and 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 Development Permit Board approved Development Application Number DE404731. 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 Marina on this portion of the CD-1 site, consisting of a total of 150 berths and having a floating public pier, and a floating ancillary
marina office/utility building.

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 ancillary office building, have been included in Appendix `B'.

CONCLUSION

The Development Permit Board has approved Development Application Number DE404731, 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.
