   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  final  form  of  development  for  this  portion  the
   above-noted CD-1 zoned site.

   SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

   At a  Public  Hearing on  February  20, 1992,  City  Council approved  a
   rezoning  of  this site  from BC  Place/Expo  District (BCPED)  to CD-1.
   Council also approved  in principle  the form of  development for  these
   lands.   CD-1  By-law Number  7156  was enacted  on  July 29,  1993  and
   companion   guidelines   (Roundhouse  Neighbourhood   1200-1300  Pacific
   Boulevard CD-1  Guidelines) were also  adopted by Council  resolution 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  DE401422.     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  an eight-storey (non-market)
   Co-op housing development containing a total of 137 residential dwelling
   units.

   The proposed development has  been assessed against the CD-1  By-law and
   Council-approved  guidelines and responds to the  stated objectives.  In
   addition, as specified in  the CD-1 By-law, the  design of these  family
   housing units  has  been  assessed against  the  Housing  Families  with
   Children at High Densities Guidelines adopted by Council in 1989 and has
   been found to meet these objectives as well.

   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
   DE401422, 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.
