COUNCIL POLICY

Council approved the False Creek North Official Development Plan (FCN ODP) on April 10, 1990. Among other things it stated:

- "Section 5.7: *Area 6(b) (Plaza of Nations Complex)

purposes. A family sports and entertainment centre may be permitted within an existing building. Public access is to be provided and guaranteed through the site at all times unless Council approves otherwise for special events. The performance space within the plaza is to be made available for events on a commercial basis. It is intended that the development of this site remain generally as built, as of April 10, 1990, with the exception of a hotel as discussed in Section 3.2.3.

- Section 3.2.3 Hotel

- On October 24, 1991, Council approved the report, Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Route Concepts Plan - Bayshore, Marathon and False Creek North Developments, and requested that staff report back on the detailed design of the waterfront pedestrian/bicycle system through False Creek North prior to any development permit approval in a waterfront sub-area. Also on October 24, 1991, Council approved the report, Conceptual Shoreline Designs - Coal Harbour and False Creek North, which describes a concept for the Plaza of Nations shoreline.

- On July 9, 1996, Council enacted CD-1 By-law No. 7592, providing for interim uses and a Family Sports and Entertainment Facility.

- THAT the Director of Central Area Planning, in consultation with appropriate staff and Pacific Place Holdings Ltd., report back on terms of reference and a funding proposal to undertake an urban design study of North East False Creek to reconcile the various needs and patterns of development and circulation as well as soils issues in the area.

Other Council-adopted policies and guidelines are also relevant:

PURPOSE AND SUMMARY

This report assesses an application to amend the existing CD-1 for 750 Pacific Boulevard (Plaza of Nations).

The primary focus of these changes is to provide for the addition of a 29-storey, 600-room hotel to be developed above the existing easterly wing of the Plaza. Included is a 3-storey addition at the east end for hotel restaurant and amenity spaces, and underground parking for 240 cars. Other components include a public ferry dock, additional marina berths and designation of public walkways, bicycle ways and a tramway through and around the site. The BC Enterprise Hall will be reused as a hotel/conference facility.

The False Creek North Official Development Plan allows for the addition of hotel use up to 27,871 mū (300,000 sq. ft.) on this site.

Staff support the overall application with recommended modifications to certain important aspects, and recommend that it be referred to Public Hearing.

Figure 1: Site Location
DISCUSSION

Land Use:

The application proposes to add to this site 27,871 mū (300,000 sq. ft.) of hotel and ancillary use. This additional area is permitted in the FCN ODP on this site. The application is also being used by staff to bring forward changes already approved by Council in April 1995 including the Family Sports and Entertainment Centre which is the only permitted permanent use on the site.

The Plaza of Nations will continue to act as a multi-use entertainment, office and retail complex, with the new hotel and its related activities providing a lengthened day-time and night-time use cycle. The proposed draft CD-1 By-law (Appendix A) acknowledges existing uses as well as other uses considered to be consistent with the FCN ODP and with the continued viability of the Plaza of Nations itself. Table 1 in the draft CD-1 By-law establishes broad limits for specified uses (hotel, halls, casino-class 1, theatres, clubs, retail, office and production studios) to ensure that a variety of activities occur on the site, and to maintain a high level of public and pedestrian interest in the complex. These uses were previously supported by Council as part of an earlier Director of Planning zoning initiative which was never completed.

Density

The FCN ODP permits 27 871 mū (300,000 sq. ft.) to be added to this site. The applicant is requesting an additional 1 021 mū (10,990 sq. ft.) which primarily allows for exterior space in the form of some deck and architectural features to match the features on the existing buildings. Staff support this request.

Staff also recommend additional density of 6 000 mū (64,586 sq. ft.). This is to allow for the potential of a small new commercial building (3-4 storeys) in place of the existing westerly surface parking which will be relocated underground. The rationale is that even with the recommended removal of the surface parking lot this area presents a weak urban edge to Pacific Boulevard primarily because of the angle of the existing Plaza buildings and the lack of visible functions to animate the street. The design of this extra density would occur at a future development application stage and may, or may not, be fully achievable. It is important to note that this concept was not anticipated in the FCN ODP and was generated by staff to achieve the public purpose of improving the street form and experience of Pacific Boulevard. The applicant is in agreement to proceed as recommended.

Form of Development:

The proposed hotel is 29 storeys high (95.5 m. or 313 ft.) in a slab block form located on top of the existing easterly Plaza building adjacent to Pacific Boulevard.

Twelve potential hotel tower locations were evaluated against public and owner criteria which included, among others: sun/shadow on open space and surrounding sites; public and private views to the site; adjacent uses; vehicular access; overall built form relationships; hotel operations; and construction costs. Overall, the proposed hotel location was considered superior in meeting public and owner criteria.

There is one significant concern with the location of the hotel tower. The unzoned easterly lands adjacent to the Plaza (FCN ODP Area 6C) are proposed to accommodate approximately 136 non-market, family and non-family dwelling units. The adjacency issues are:
… the proposed hotel will overshadow the non-market site;
… the proposed hotel loading and service functions will generate significant noise and activity for the non-market site; and
… the 29-storey scale of the hotel dominates the conceptual 6-storey scale of the non-market residential buildings.

Planning, in consultation with the Housing Centre and Pacific Place (formerly Concord), the owners of Area 6C, have been proceeding on the basis that Area 6C would benefit from being replanned. The other concern with Area 6C is that there is a significant Provincial soilcontamination problem that may demand a planning review of the area. Therefore, staff will be reporting back to Council on Area 6C.

Assuming that the adjacency issues between the proposed hotel and Area 6C can be resolved Pacific Place (formerly Concord) does not oppose the rezoning (see Appendix G1).

Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes:

Currently there are no well defined pedestrian or bicycle routes through the Plaza site. This causes conflicts between the public wishing to pass through the site on the seaside route and people wishing to use the existing and proposed facilities of the Plaza.

The FCN ODP, 1990 (see Figs. 9B and 9C, Appendix F) and the Waterfront Pedestrian/Bicycle Route Concept Plan 1991 (see Fig. 10 Appendix F) did not define specific routes through the Plaza. Staff have reviewed concept plans and specific options (see Appendix F) taking into account the new proposed hotel and other functions, and preserving the best public objectives and features of the ODP and Waterfront routes. Staff recommend the option in Figure 2 below.
Figure 2: Recommended Pedestrian and Bicycle Routes
This option provides the primary pedestrian route through the plaza in the same manner as the FCN ODP and also aligns the bicycles along the same route rather than being routed along Pacific Boulevard. In addition there is a floating walkway around the prow of the BC Enterprise Hall. This plan has seven main advantages;

… it maintains the BC Enterprise Hall's Expo `86 architectural legacy by not building fixed pedestrian and bicycle routes onto the front of the building's prow;
… it provides a short, approximately 4.57 m (15 ft.) wide floating walkway as a secondary pedestrian route around the BC Enterprise Hall prow providing a close association with the water and yet being sensitive to the strength of the prow. This is supported by the Blueways group;
… it does not substantially increase water coverage by building a wide and costly pedestrian/bicycle route around the BC Enterprise Hall;
… it encourages the activity, viability and animation of the central plaza;
… it meets the main pedestrian and bicycle desire lines through the plaza area;
… it provides a choice of bicycle routes which can accommodate both central plaza event and occasional event times when the plaza will be closed to bicycles. This concept is supported by the Bicycle Committee. Engineering Services will be responsible for the closures of the Bikeways/walkways; and
… it provides a secondary bike route along Pacific Boulevard that can be utilized on the rare occasions when the plaza is closed, although noting that this route passes across the major hotel and Plaza arrival and loading area and will not meet normal route standards.

The bicycle and pedestrian standard pathway widths through the plaza will be defined by a right-of-way agreement and can be defined by appropriate surface treatment and edge detailing similar to other areas of the FCN ODP.

Staff believe that, while a continuous waterfront walkway/bicycle route has not been fully achieved, the circumstances are different for this project. Because there are existing buildings that should be treated with respect and there are other substantial areas and facilities being secured for the public use, such as the Central Performance Space and ceremonial boat dock, staff believe this option meets public access and circulation objectives.

The applicant (see section G11 of Appendix G for Applicant Comments) disagrees with these routes and recommends that the status quo remain. That is, the pedestrians and bicyclists should continue to go through the plaza along undefined routes with a secondary bicycle route around the north of the Plaza on Pacific Boulevard.

Staff's main concerns with the applicant's routes are:

… the primary pedestrian route deviates from Councils's preferred choice of walkways having a direct relationship with the water edge by going around the north side of the performance space;
… the pedestrian and bicycle conflicts will increase as movement through the Plaza increases if the routes are not carefully designated; and
… there would be safety concerns for bicyclists crossing four potentially congested driveways along the Plaza's Pacific Boulevard frontage with westbound bicyclists moving counterflow to the eastbound Boulevard generating safety concerns.

Central Plaza Performance Space:

The FCN ODP states that "the performance space within the plaza is to be made available for events on a commercial basis". Staff are recommending that the performance space area (see Fig.2 ), functions and conditions under which it is to be used be secured through legal agreements.

The Plaza of Nations was built as part of the legacy infrastructure of EXPO 86. During the fair, it functioned as the "heart" of EXPO, used for national day celebrations and as a major performance venue. Since EXPO, the venue has continued to be used as a major civic gathering place. It is the only covered outdoor performance venue in the City. Each year thousands of Vancouver residents and tourists are attracted to festivals and special events such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Aboriginal Cultural Festival, Chinese New Years' celebrations and Music West. Current renters are a mix of commercial and non-profit users.

The intent of the staff recommendation is to secure the physical space for ongoing commercial use as committed by the applicant, as well as to provide for a modest level of community access on an ongoing basis. The recommendations also ensure that the facility operates successfully into the future. This includes securing access around the performance area for circulation and servicing and securing access through the hotel for loading, dressing rooms, public washrooms and support services. Without secured access to these ancillary areas, the plaza cannot function effectively. Requiring the infrastructure be maintained over time ensures that the benefits will be maintained for future audiences.

The principal staff recommendations include:

… an additional area outside the performance space be included to support the performance area and appropriately dimensioned public circulation and access within and through the hotel building should be secured to ensure adequate loading, storage and stage support;
… the owner be required to provide and maintain the necessary seating, staging, rigging, sound and lighting systems (performance equipment) necessary to support staged performances;
… the owner be required to make the performance space, performance equipment and ancillary support areas available at no cost to Vancouver non-profit social service, community and cultural organizations for a minimum of three days per month;
… the City has the right to request the performance space for additional times but will pay the Plaza owners on an agreed-to commercial basis; and
… the owner require approval from the City to close the performance space for a private function.

The applicant does not agree to any of the recommended requirements covering the performance space functions stating that they severely impact the financial viability of their operation. They also submit they currently support a wide range of cultural and charitable events with appropriate reductions in rental fees for their premises.

Staff note that the recommendations with respect to the performance space support the commercial activities in ensuring a functional and viable venue. The proposed community use, at 3 days per month, represents at maximum 10% of the available use and staff believe it is not unreasonable. The current non-profit users have expressed serious concerns with respect to their current rental rates which are relatively high and preclude access by many non-profit organizations.

Marine Terminal:

There is an existing floating dock in front of the central plaza currently designated as a temporary marine terminal use. The FCN ODP did not anticipate a private marine use in this location. The applicant proposes to use this as a permanent marine terminal. This would result in large charter boats being berthed. Large charter boats block views of the water from the main public areas of the plaza and also present a commercial, non-publicly accessible edge to what should be a public edge. Staff believe the dock needs to act as an extension of the public central plaza and be a ceremonial water arrival and departure point, including public ferries. The applicant proposes that there be a separate public ferry dock at the westerly edge of the site. Staff consider that a central location adjacent to the public functions of the central plaza is more appropriate for the ferry dock. Therefore, staff recommend that this dock should be shared by public ferries and charter boats although the charter boats shall only use the dock for the loading and unloading of passengers and not be permitted to berth for periods longer than 24 hours.

The applicant objects to the marine terminal dock having a public use function citing the economic impact it will have on their present operations.

Future Tram and Overpasses

A road dedication or right-of-way is required to accommodate the future tram and tram station along Pacific Boulevard (see Appendix E, 2 of 8 for right-of-way plan, and section G2 of Appendix G for Engineering description). A right-of-way, rather than a road dedication, will be selected if it is deemed appropriate by the City Manager due to soil contamination levels.

In order to accommodate the future tram, the two existing sets of stairs and ramps, which connect the two overpasses to the south side of Pacific Boulevard, will have to be relocated to the Plaza of Nations site, south of the above right-of-way. This work will still be required even if the tram tracks will be located in the middle of Pacific Boulevard in order to maintain the current road width for safe traffic flow and pedestrian movement.

A design study is required to ensure the new stairs and ramps will maintain or improve the present pedestrian access to the BC Place Stadium. The applicant must obtain approval from the BC Pavilion Corporation, in the form of legal agreements, to do the above work. The applicant will be responsible for the cost of conducting this design study and any required relocation of the stairs and ramps.

The owner agrees with the concept of providing the tram right-of-way but disagrees with bearing any of the cost of changes to the overpasses noting that they do not own the overpasses.

Parking

The current Council-approved parking requirement for this site, excluding the Casino, is 428 stalls rather than 1,270 stalls required by the Parking By-Law Standards (only 409 are now provided on-site). The rationale for this reduced parking arrangement was this site could utilize surface parking stalls in nearby vacant sites at that time. The current Casino use has a separate temporary off-site parking requirement of 56 spaces in an arrangement that will expire in April 1998.

The existing By-law requirement for the proposed development would be 1,699 parking spaces. This standard is based on a stand alone development located outside of the downtown area.

Staff recommend a reduced parking standard of 895 spaces. This is in keeping with the reduced standard set for the existing development and, more importantly, reflects standards for the Central Area. In the downtown, and other adjacent areas, reduced office and commercial use parking standards are applied that recognize the greater service and convenience of transit. In addition, standards are reduced for high demand evening uses such as theatres, clubs and meeting spaces because the parking demand in the evenings can besatisfied in adjacent under-used office parking facilities. The detailed requirements are shown in section D6 of appendix D.

The applicant has a concern. Because of the extremely poor soil conditions and high water table on this site the applicant cannot fully meet the parking requirements. The maximum the applicant can accommodate on the site is 807 spaces. The total requirement is 895 spaces. This results in a shortfall of 88 spaces. The applicant has requested that this shortfall be met by a parking contribution equivalent to the pay-in-lieu amount of $13,300 per parking space for any shortfall, to be determined at the development permit stage. It may be reasonable for Council to consider payment to accommodate the applicant's request. A condition of this rezoning is that the applicant enter into an agreement to contribute a payment in lieu of the required extra parking.

CONCLUSION

Summary of Applicant's Issues: There are six main issues which have not been successfully resolved with the applicant.

… Pedestrian-Bicycle Routes: The applicant recommends the status quo be maintained with the primary pedestrian-bicycle route to be beside the Plaza retail edge, north of the central plaza performance space, and considers it unnecessary to provide a floating walkway around the prow of the BC Enterprise Hall. Staff note that this would not meet previous Council policy, continue the existing pedestrian-bicycle conflicts, not secure a dedicated critical link in the False Creek pedestrian-bicycle waterfront route, and not provide close contact with the water for pedestrians;

… Central Plaza Performance Space: The applicant does not agree to any of the recommended requirements covering the performance space functions saying that it impacts the financial viability of its operation. The intent of staff is to secure this major civic gathering place for ongoing commercial use as committed by the applicant, as well as to provide for a modest level of community access on an ongoing basis;

… Marine Terminal: The applicant objects to the marine terminal dock having public uses saying that it impacts the financial viability of the applicant's operation. Staff note that having a marine terminal dock in this location would not meet the FCN ODP and would not fulfill important public water access functions. The applicant also propose a ferry dock at the westerly edge of the site. As the dock is central to the plaza area, staff believe it should operate as both a public ferry dock and a dock for charter boat arrival and departure but not for permanent moorage.

… Overpasses: The owner disagrees with bearing any of the cost of changes to the existing overpasses that link the Plaza to BC Place Stadium noting that they do notown the overpasses. Staff note that pedestrian access to the BC Place Stadium will benefit the uses of the proposed hotel, especially if the design of the new stairs and ramps are integrated with the hotel design;

… Parking: The applicant cannot meet the staff recommended parking requirement of 895 spaces for the full development and has proposed that he be allowed to make a parking contribution for any shortfall at the development permit stage. Staff are prepared to accept this proposal provided it is secured by legal agreement.

… Public Art: The applicant considers they have already contributed to public art through the Expo legacy of retaining the existing buildings and should not be required to provide any public art money. Staff note that Council policy is that public art contributions apply to rezoning of 15 000 mū (161,463 sq. ft.) or greater. Also the FCN ODP policy statement requires public art. Staff do not support the retention of buildings as a substitute for public art and further note that the public art contribution applies only to the incremental density of the new FSR and not the existing buildings. The new area proposed in the Plaza rezoning, on which the public art money will be calculated, is almost twice the minimum area to contribute to public art and would therefore be customarily required.

(See Section G11 of Appendix G for Applicant Comments)

Staff support the proposed rezoning and form of development of the hotel tower at 750 Pacific Boulevard for the following public benefits and technical reasons.

Public Benefits:

… the hotel significantly increases the potential number of people in the Plaza over extended times of day, thereby bringing the area to life and enhancing the safety and security of the public spaces;
… it secures defined pedestrian and bicycle routes through the Plaza of Nations site;
… it secures a major public plaza with a community use agreement for non-profit social services, community and cultural organizations to use it at no cost;
… it secures a public ferry and ceremonial arrival/ departure dock;
… it potentially accommodates an important future tram stop; and
… it improves the overall urban design quality of the Plaza of Nations site by such things as improved landscaping and elimination of surface parking prior to any development.

Technical Reasons:

… the hotel use and floor area was anticipated in the FCN ODP; and
… it confirms the future of the Plaza of Nations development which has been proceeding on a interim basis for some time.

Staff recommend that the application be referred to a Public Hearing with a recommendation from the Director of Central Area Planning that it be approved, subject to draft CD-1 By-law provisions generally as shown in Appendix A and to proposed conditions of approval presented in Appendix B.
