Rezoning Appiication (File No. 38/88)

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council direct the Clerk's Office to prepare a bylaw
rezoning Lots 3 and 4, District Lot 232, Plan 6269 and Lot 1,
Pian 6358, NWD from RS-1 to RM-3.

COMMENTS:

This application is to rezone three large residential lots on
the south side of Harbour Street from RS-1 (Large Lot
Residential) to RM-3 ( Townhouse Apartment). The proposed
development is for 14 units to be constructed on Lots 3 and 4
and 7 units to be constructed on Lot 1. The lots are sloped
toward the Mary Hill Bypass and the proposed development is
designed to take advantage of the viewscape. The Official
Community Plan designates this area as future apartment and
this proposai would fit the designation.

in reviewing the proposal, the Planning Department placed
emphasis on protecting view from properties along the north
side of Harbour. Improvements made to the proposed development
to accommodate these concerns include on Lots 3 and 4 dividing
the units fronting on Harbour into 3 unit and 2 unit clu ters
with the entrance driveway between them. This permits *the

properties to the north to retain the view. The proposed

development has the second row of units positioned on an angle
and the units along the Mary Hill Bypass are 2-!evel. On Lot 1
the units have been angied to maintain the view.
