MEMORANDUM
DEC 13 1982

TO: Mr. BR. Kirk December 2, 1982
City Administrator .

FROM: Mr. W. Brown
Director of Community Planning

SUBJECT: Rezoning Application 9/82
2352-58 Shaughnesay

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council direct the City Clerks
office to prepare a bylaw amending the zoning

on lots 2 and 3, Blk. J., Deol. 289, Plan 2076
from RS-i to RT=1.

BACKGROUND:

This application was submitted June 4, 1982 to bring an
existing non-conforming fourplex into conformance with the
Zoning Sylaw. City Council at the regular meeting of June 23,
1962, decided against proceeding with rezoning the property to
a Multiple Family zoning designation (RM~-3) as it would be
slightly deficient of the minimum lot size permitted.
Subsequent to Council's decision, the spplicant made several
attempts to negotiate purchase of the deficient 12 square
metres, but was not successful.

COMMENTS:

The owner's reason for applying to bring this epartment
building into conformance with the zoning bylaw, is for
mortgage renewal purposes. The bank holding the mortgage are
reluctant to renew it until they have assurance that it could
be rebuilt. Following City Council's decision to not rezone
the Lat to an RM designation, the applicant hes negotiated with
his banker to rezone the property to a lower density
designation. The reasoning for selecting an RT-1 designation
was that it would still provide a guaranteed flow of income,
and should also be acceptable to City Council.

This property is located in the "Shaughnessy Corridor" Phase 1
area for redevelopment. In view of that factor, this rezoning
will implement City Council'a policy to encourage apartments
along Shaughnessy Street. In addition to the fact that this
rezoning will not affect the current use of this property ror
diminish the City's control over a future rezoning application
for apartment use support the proposal to rezone the property

to am RT-1 designation.
