THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM MEMORANDUM Mr. B. R. Kirk June 13, 1990 Mt TE WY City Administrator File No. 25/90 JUN a ¥ 1909 Carlos Felip Director of Planning Hawthorne Lodge — 2111 Hawthorne Avenue Application for Development Variance Permit Planning and Development Committee — June 19, 1990 RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Planning Department be authorized to draft Development Variance Permit 25/90. BACKGROUND: The Hawthorne Lodge was developed under the provisions of a Land Use Contract. In the last few months, the Lodge applied and obtained Council approval to amend the Land Use Contract to permit the construction of an elevator for the building. When the amendment of the Land Use Contract was submitted for registration to the Land Titles Office, our Solicitors were informed that the contract had never been properly registered. Due to changes in legislation, it is no longer possible to register the Land Use Contract. This situation makes the Hawthorne Lodge a legal non-conforming use: The current zone of the property, P-2, would not permit a structure as tall as the main building of the Lodge. The Lodge administrator, has, therefore applied for a Development Variance Permit to correct the non-conformity of the building. COMMENTS FROM OTHER DEPARTMENT: The Engineering, Building, Parks and Recreation and Fire Departments have no objections to the issuance of this Development Variance Permit. DISCUSSION: This Development Variance Permit will make fully conforming a building that became legal non-conforming due to administrative problems. The Planning Department, therefore recommends approva the permit. . : 4 i? (AZ PSE Carlos Felip, Arch. , M.C.1.P. Registered Planner, Director of Planning CF/k11 ID308-4 lol
