ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT Date: April 3,1997 File No: 328W8th CC File No. 2605-1 TO: Vancouver City Council FROM: City Building Inspector SUBJECT: Extension of Building Permit No. BU402592 328 - 342 West 8th Avenue RECOMMENDATION THAT City Council approve an extension of Building Permit No. BU402592 until October 4, 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 a new four-storey building containing industrial occupancies on the ground and second floors, artist live/work studios on the third and fourth floors and two levels of below-grade parking. The above permit was previously extended and expired on April 4, 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 No. DP216491 and a minor amendment (DE400997) are valid as long as this Building Permit is active. * * * * *
