   RECOMMENDATION

        THAT the approved form of development for this portion of the CD-1
        zoned site known as 1200 - 1300 Pacific Boulevard (1300 Marinaside
        Crescent being the application address) be generally approved as
        illustrated in Development Application Number DE401051, prepared by
        Henriquez & Partners Architect and stamped "Received, City Planning
        Department September 17,  1996", 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 final form of development for 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 B.C. 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 Development
   Permit Board approved, in principle, Development Application Number
   DE401051.  This application was subsequently approved, in complete form,
   by the Director of Planning.  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 contruction of a seventeen-storey building
   containing a total of 97 residential units and two levels of underground
   parking.

   The proposed development has been assessed against the CD-1 By-law and
   Council-approved guidelines and responds to the stated objectives. 
   Since the Public Hearing, the floor plate of the tower has been expanded
   which has resulted in a somewhat bulkier appearance.  However, when the
   proposal was reviewed by the Development Permit Board, strong community
   support was indicated.  The Board concluded that on this particular site
   this additional bulk was acceptable and staff believe that the proposal
   does meet the intent of the CD-1 zoning.

   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
   DE401051, 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.
