   GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS

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


   COUNCIL POLICY

   At a Public Hearing on April 20, 1993, City Council  approved a rezoning
   of this site  from BCPED (B.C.  Place/Expo District)  to CD-1.   Council
   also  approved, in principle, the  form of development  for these lands.
   CD-1  By-law Number 7248  was enacted on  November 30, 1993.   Companion
   Guidelines (Quayside Neighbourhood CD-1 Guidelines) were also adopted by
   Council resolution at that time.


   PURPOSE

   In  accordance with  Charter requirements,  this report  seeks Council's
   approval  for the  form of  development for  the above-noted  CD-1 zoned
   site.                             - 2 -



   SITE DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND

   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 Development  Application  Number  217602.   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  a  mixed-use  commercial/
   residential  complex comprised  of a  two-storey podium,  a seven-storey

   residential building,  townhouses, and two high-rise  towers (30 storeys
   and  34 storeys)  having  commercial  space  on  the  lower  floors  and
   residential units above (total residential units 532). 
   The  proposal has  been assessed  against the  CD-1 By-law  and Council-
   approved guidelines and responds to the stated objectives.

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

   CONCLUSION

   The Development Permit Board has approved Development Application Number
   217602, 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.
