6. Change the "Special Study Area” designation of Colony Farm.

The Provincial Government is proceeding with a major analysis and study of
Colony Farm at this time. The study's Terms of Reference are near completion
and very comprehensive; it should result in very specific recommendations on
the future uses of Colony Farm.

Given the character of Colony Farm as an environmentally sensitive area,
its ownership by the Provincial Government and the fact that the portion of
Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam is only part of a larger area also encroaching
on the City of Coquitlam, it is prudent and reasonable to wait for the
Provincial study recommendations before the Special Study Area designation is
amended.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

No action is recommended until the results of the Provincial study are
available.

7. Change the designation of several parks in the City.

This refers to a suggestion to designate "Nacht Park" as a "Park Reserve",
all of the proposed park land in the Dominion Triangle as "Park Reserve" and
Colony Farm as "Park reserve."

PROPOSED ACTION:

a) Nacht Park: Immediately after approval of the Official Community
Plan Bylaw, re-designation of Nacht Park to "Park Reserve" will be
included in a Council initiated amendment as the re-designation to
"Park Reserve" is justified.

Portions of the park land in the Dominion Triangle (based on the
environmental assessment of the City) may not justify a''Park Reserve"
designation. An active park land is required within industrial
lands, therefore any decision about increasing the "Park Reserve"
designation in the Dominion Triangle Area should only be taken after
detailed environmental assessments of the park areas are completed.

This assessment will be required as a condition of any development
proposal in this area. No action is recommended at thie time.

c) Colony Farm: As stated previously in this report, no action is
recommended for the reasons noted.

8. Remove the arterial road designation from Apel Drive.
The issue of arterial road designation of Apel Drive has been referred to
the Public Works Committee and is being looked at from a technical

transportation point of view. The Engineering Department will repert back to
Council on their findings.
