ZONING PUBLIC HEARING:

Acting-Mayor Alderman M.A. Thorpson advised the meeting the following Zoning Public |
Hearing -

proposed By-law to amend the "City of Port Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw, 1969, B/law #1532

No. 918'' would now be considered:

By-law No. 1532: to rezone Lots 7, 8, and 9, Block 3, District Lot

379, Plan 1213, from RS-2 (One-Family Suburban Residential) to C-4 (Town
Sub-Centre Commercial).

This property now has the civic addresses 2331, 2337, and 2341
Marpole Avenue and it is expected that a two-storey structure with
19,200 square feet of retail space on the main floor and 8,900 of office
space on the second floor will be constructed on the site following

completion of the rezoning procedures.

The City Planning Officer explained that the proposed commercial/office
complex would be a two-storey structure with underground parking, and
that it would be an attractive building when completed. The City Engineer
advised that it will be necessary to install a storm sewer and larger
watermain on Marpole Avenue to adequately service the site with other
future improvements such as removal of power poles from Marpole Avenue

itself, construction of a lane between Marpole and Whyte Avenues, widening

Marpole Avenue by re-constructing the curb and sidewalk further North on

the North side of the street to facilitate increased traffic in that
area, etc. to be undertaken as development progresses.

Mr. Norris Moore, 2342 Marpole Avenue, spoke to the proposed development,
and stated his concern at the present traffic problem on that street —-
particularly with respect to speeding, and parked cars blocking private drive-
ways, and Acting-Mayor Alderman Thompson advised this situation will be
‘further reviewed. Mr. M. Nicola, 2347 Marpole Avenue, stated his concern

with respect to property damage, as his residence is located immediately
