THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM
REPORT.

TO: Mayor and Council September 19th, 1974

FROM: L. Lee, Planning Officer Reference: R#22-74

SUBJECT:

Application for "Development Area" designation on 5 lots at 2351-2389
Bury Avenue to allow a 43-unit condominium apartment development. The
properties involved are presently zoned RM~2.

BACKGROUND:

Council will recall that in the June 24th, 1974 Council Meeting, Council
gave approval to a strata title subdivision of a proposed 26-unit apart-
ment building on a site of 3 lots at 2351~2381 Bury Avenue, Since then
the applicant has further acquired the two remaining lots in the same
block and the proposed development scheme has been revised. The number
of units is proposed to be increased to 43 reflecting a density of
approximately 37 units per acre. However, due to the density change in
apartment zones recently approved by Council, this project is unable to
proceed under the RM-2 zoning designation. As a result, the applicant is
requesting "Development Area" designation to be granted on the propesed
site and approval for the revised scheme.

STATISTICS:

Site Area: 49,720 sq. ft.
No. of Units: 43
Density: 37 Units per acre approximately
Open Space; 8,600 sq. ft. required

10,000 sq. ft. provided
Parking: 65 spaces provided

65 spaces required, 47 of which underground.
Site Coverage: 35%.

RECOMMENDATION:

The proposed development appears to be very desirable as it provides the
excellent opportunity to tidy up the entire block and to substantially
improve the overall physical appearance of the area. Amendments are nec=-
essary in some minor aspects of the proposal which in my opinion can be
resolved between the applicant and the Planning Department. I would there-
fore recommend that Council consider approval for the subject development
and "Development Area" designation on the development site subject to
off-site servicing to be approved by the City Engineer.
