The General Manager of Community Services submitted the following recommendation: THAT Council endorse, subject to endorsation from the Province, the following recommendation of the City and Provincial Project Managers as contained in the Report dated February 26, 1996 "New Trade and Convention Facilities Review Program - Report on Stage One": "THAT the New Trade and Convention Facilities Review Program proceed to Stage Two; FURTHER THAT all three proponents, Concord Pacific Developments, Greystone Properties and Marathon Realty, be invited to submit Stage Two proposals; and THAT the conditions for each proponent, set out in Appendix A of the report, "New Trade and Convention Facilities Review Program - Report on Stage One," be endorsed for evaluation of such proposals." Also before Council was a report dated February 28, 1996 from the Vancouver City Planning Commission, providing comments on the three proposals. Mr. Larry Beasley, the City Project Manager, provided Council with a review of Phase One of the New Trade and Convention Facilities Review Program. As a result of the call for expressions of interest in September 1995, three excellent submissions were received. These were from Greystone Properties on a site east of Canada Place; Marathon Realty on a site west of Canada Place; and Concord Pacific Developments on a site adjacent to BC Place. (cont'd)REPORT REFERENCE (CONT'D) New Trade and Convention Centre (cont'd) File: 6007 Mr. Beasley explained that while the review program is a cooperative effort between the City and the Province, the City is not a financial contributor towards the project and it will be up to the Province to resolve which of the submissions represents overall best value. Council was advised that each of the proponents would be reviewing their respective proposals, and that this would be followed by a Special Council meeting on Wednesday, March 13, 1996, at the Plaza 500 Hotel, at which time Council will be receiving public input on the proposals. Mr. Michael Geller, the Provincial Project Manager, expressed his appreciation for the commitment and dedication of City staff, who are working on this cooperative process. There is general support for expanded Trade & Convention Centre facilities, and Mr. Geller congratulated the three proponents on their excellent submissions. Phase II of the review process was explained, noting this phase will examine the financial and economic benefits of each of the proposals, as well as the opportunity for public-private partnerships. Once the final selection has been made, it will be up to Council to approve any rezonings which are required. In terms of scheduling, Mr. Geller advised that construction could start in 1997, with completion near the end of 1999. Detailed presentations were then made on each of the proposals by the following: - Discovery Place - Proposal by Marathon Realty Mr. Jeff Herold, Director, Planning & Development Mr. Rod Cameron, Criterion Communications - Portside - Proposal by Greystone Properties/ Vancouver Port Corporation/Mariott Hotels Mr. David Podmore, President, Greystone Properties Ms. Carole Taylor, Vice-chair, Vancouver Port Corporation - Downtown Place - Proposal by Concord Pacific Developments Mr. Jon Markoulis, Vice-President, Concord Pacific Mr. Bing Thom, Architect (cont'd) REPORT REFERENCE (CONT'D) New Trade and Convention Centre (cont'd) File: 6007 The project managers and proponents responded to questions from Council. Mr. Beasley advised that information concerning hotel room availability in the vicinity of each of the proposed sites is being compiled and will be provided to Council. Responding to a question concerning the value of the City-owned land which is part of the Downtown Place proposal, Mr. Bruce Maitland, Manager, Real Estate Services, advised the value of the site would be established based on current use, as well as potential uses following any upzoning. Mr. Beasley also advised that the impact on parking by these proposals would be identified, and any deficiencies in parking should be carried by the development. MOVED by Cllr. Bellamy, THAT the foregoing presentations, together with the Policy Report dated February 26, 1996, be received for information pending the public input at the Special Council meeting on March 13, 1996. - CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY UNFINISHED BUSINES (CONT'D) 2.

Cheng Architects Inc. to permit a 23Ÿstorey multiple dwelling at 1005 Beach Avenue. In considering this report, some members of Council expressed concern regarding the height of the proposed development, as well as its proximity to the Burrard Bridge. Responding to a question from Council, Mr. Larry Beasley, Director of Central Area Planning, advised there are at present no policies in place concerning developments adjacent to bridges within the City. Although Council had requested such a report for the area west of the Granville Bridge, time has not permitted the development of a policy. MOVED by Cllr. Price, THAT the Policy Report dated January 19, 1996, on the proposed rezoning of 1005 Beach Avenue, be deferred pending completion of a study concerning potential developments in the immediate vicinity of bridgeheads in the city and report back by staff. -CARRIED (Councillors Clarke, Hemer, Puil and the Mayor opposed) Council also requested Mr. Beasley to bring forward information on views from bridges. * * * Councillor Puil left the meeting at this point in the proceedings. * * * COMMUNICATIONS AND/OR PETITIONS 1.

The proposed centre is seen as a practical response to a wider public policy environment embracing Aboriginal self-government. The Federal Government has committed $100,000/per year for two years to assist the FCM in this work. The FCM must secure up to $200,000 each year in matching funds to proceed.
