Minor variations which do not change the intent of the
guidelines may be permitted without an amendment of the
Development Permit Area guidelines, subject to the
approval of the Director of Community Planning.

DISCUSSION:

The Official Community Plan designates as Development Permit Areas all
commercial and multi-family areas and those industrial areas exposed to major
throughfares, therefore requiring some level of design control.

Three areas of the City fall within the above categories and are not as
yet designated as Development Permit Areas:

The Northside Centre
The Dominion Triangle Industrial Area, and
The Pitt River Waterfront.

The Dominion Triangle is currently the subject of an Area Control Plan
that will recommend design guidelines for designation of the Triangle as a
Development Permit Area. A similar Area Control Plan is expected to be
developed shortly for the Pitt River Waterfront.

No Area Control Plan is planned at this time for the Northside Area, |
however, due to increasing development pressures it js advisable to establish

the same level of design controis that apply to all other gimilar areas of the
City. .

The proposed guidelines are of a general nature and will allow
implementation of development permita whenever commercial or multi-family
projects are proposed within the described area.
