 TO:       Vancouver City Council


 FROM:     City Building Inspector

 SUBJECT:  Extension of Building Permit No. BU401770
           375 - 377 Terminal Avenue


 RECOMMENDATION

      THAT City Council approve an extension of Building Permit No.
      BU401770 until August 28, 1997.


 GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

      The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of the
      foregoing.


 COUNCIL POLICY


 Article 1.11.5.1 of the Building By-law prohibits the City Building
 Inspector from granting more than one extension to a Building Permit. Any
 further extensions can only be approved by City Council.


 DISCUSSION

 The proposed construction is for the completion of a nine-storey
 commercial building with one level of below grade parking.

 The above permit was previously extended and expired on February 28, 1997,
 however, because the request for extension was submitted prior to expiry,
 I am prepared to process this request.

 The Planning Department advises that related Development Permit Nos.
 DP210316, DP213021 and DP215375 have been extended previously and are
 valid as long as this Building Permit is active. A new Development Permit
 will be required if this Building Permit expires.
