        Development Application Number DE401826, prepared by Eng Wright

        May 7, 1997", 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 August 1, 1996, City Council approved a rezoning
   of this site from RS-1 One-Family Dwelling District to CD -1
   Comprehensive Development District.  Council also approved in principle
   the form of development for these lands.  CD-1 By-law Number 7649 was
   enacted on November 22, 1996.

   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 DE401826.  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 16 separate two-storey
   townhouse clusters containing a total of 58 dwelling units and two
   four-storey multiple dwellings containing a total of 64 dwelling units. 
   As well, an existing Municipally Designated Heritage building located at
   950 West 58th Avenue (Parklane House) will be refurbished and converted
   to provide an additional six dwelling units.  A total of 239 off-street
   parking spaces are to be provided.

   Simplified plans, including a site plan, elevations, and streetscape
   elevations of the proposal, have been included in Appendix 'B'.

   CONCLUSION

   The Director of Planning has approved Development Application Number
   DE401826, 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.
