GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS
The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of
the foregoing.
COUNCIL POLICY
At a Public Hearing on July 14, 1988, City Council approved in principle
a rezoning of the Fraser Lands. The CD-1 By-law was enacted on July 25,
1989, and companion guidelines (Fraser Lands Block 67 to Kerr Street,
Guidelines for CD-1 By-law Number 6533) were also adopted by Council
resolution at that time.
PURPOSE
In accordance with Charter requirements, this report seeks Council's
approval for the form of development for this portion of the above-
noted CD-1 zoned site.
SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND
The site is located on the northwest corner of Jellicoe Street and Kent
Avenue North. 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 DE400319. 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
On May 14, 1991, Council approved the form of development for the west
portion of the site, being two three-storey multiple dwellings and an
accessory amenity building, subsequently approved under Development
Permit Number 212072 and constructed as Phase One. The site has now been
subdivided and the current proposal is to develop the easterly site as
Phase Two.
The proposal involves the construction of a four-storey multiple
dwelling containing 39 dwelling units.
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
DE400319, 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.
