RECOMMENDATION
THAT City Council approve an extension of Development and Building Permit No. DB414793 for 1510 West 59th Avenue until June 19, 2004.
GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS
The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.
COUNCIL POLICY
Article 1A.7.5.1 of the Vancouver Building By-law addresses actions the City can take when an applicant, who has received a Building Permit, is not proceeding with active work under the permit. The By-law prohibits the Chief Building Official from granting more than one extension to a Building Permit. Any further extensions can only be approved by Council.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to request Council's approval for an extension of a permit for the construction of a building at 1510 West 59th Avenue.
DISCUSSION
Development and Building Permit No. DB414793 was issued on December 19, 2002 for the construction of a new one family dwelling with a detached accessory building at the rear. The address of the property will change from 7515 Granville Street to 1510 West 59th Avenue. The owners applied for an extension in May of 2003 and it was approved by the Chief Building Official until December 19, 2003.
The owners have requested another extension due to important professional events. They plan to start construction in May or June of 2004.
The owners are still living in the existing building on the site, addressed as 7515 Granville Street.
There has been no change to the zoning for the property (RS-1). The Planning Department has no objection to this extension.
CONCLUSION
It is recommended that Council extend this permit until June 19, 2004.
