EXISTING COUNCIL POLICIES THAT MAY AFFECT THIS APPLICATION:
The Development Guide Plan map for Port Coquitlam indicates the subject
area as being future single family residential. .
THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:
Surrounding land uses:

NORTH; Single Family Residential | EAST: Vacant
SOUTH: Single Family Residential WEST: Single Family Residential

Development in the subject area has been constrained to single family

houses on parcels over one acre in size. The entire area, however, is subject to

change once the Mary Hill Bypass is completed and the necessary services are in

place. ; .
The proposal being presented will enable the construction development
of four duplexes and fifty single family residences for an overall density of
six units per acre. It is anticipated that the density of neighbouring land to
the west will also be developed once the roadsway are in place. Density for
this area has not been examined in detail, but the expected range is between

six and eight units per acre.

"" The rural character of the area is giving way to a higher density
residential development and this form of growth has been promoted by subdivisions
to the north of the subject area. Opposition to the proposed subdivision canbe
anticipated, for there has been a lack of activity in this area for some time.
Consideration of neighbouring properties has been addressed by the applicant.

The subdivision has been designed to enable land to the north and south to

be incorporated in to the subdivision plan. Should further subdivision occur to
the north, lot 25 of the proposed plan could be subdivided into two single family

lots. and one two-family lot. Creation of two new lots will have little affect. on

overall density of the subdivision and still fall within the permitted range.
Servicing of the proposed subdivision cannot be considered in isolation
of the neighbouring properties. Water supply to the area is currently facilitated
by.a single. 6" diameter watermain about 3,000 feet long. When the property to
the west is developed (Genstar) it is anticipated that a major watermain will
‘be extended along the Mary Hill Bypass and connecting the Pitt River Road main to
form a looped system. Large scale subdivisions accepted at this time may be pre~
mature for pressure would be placed on Council to extend the trunk watermain along
the Mary Hill Bypass.
One additional servicing factor to consider is a sewer system. Any
development in the area will require a sewage pumping station.and forcemain to

to pump the sewage to the nearest trunk main which is at the intersection of
