THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAK 0 U | [

MEMO JAN 20 1986

B. Kirk, , DATE: January 15, 1986.
City Administrator.

FROM: W. Brown,
Director of Planning.

SUBJECT: Official Community Plan By-law.

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council direct the Clerk's Office to prepare the documentation
to create a new Official Community Flan By-law and to arrange for holding
the public hearing in a large hall at a time when the entire meeting can
be devoted to the by-law.

That the original working and map designations of the draft Community

Plan for the Dominion Triangle - Future Industrial and area to the west
of Carnoustie Golf Course - Future Residential be reinserted.

BACKGROUND:

(1) A.
Following the public hearing for the Official Community Plan, City Council

directed that the text and map designations for tha north-east sector of
Port Coquitlam be revised to reflect the original intentions and referred
the matter to the Planning Committee for review.

COMMENTS <

(2) .
The basis of the Committee's review was Council's motion directing the

eriginal wording of the Community Plan be restored, designating Dominion
Triangle for a future industrial estate and the area west of Carnoustie
Golf Course for long term residential growth.

What the Committee has done is to examine the consequences of carrying out
this motion. This review includes; development of other areas in the City,
recovery of monies spent to install services in the south Pitt River Road
area and impact on regulations if the Official Community Plan is legally

challenged.

(3)
It is the opinion of the Committee, that development of the two areas

would not have an impact, if the safe guards contained in the Community
Plan report are.maintained. As Council will recall, the Community Plan
includes a statement that work on the Dominion Triangle is to not begin
until 75 percent of the Mary Hill Industrial Estate is built. Likewise
the residential area west of Carnoustie Golf Course was designated as
long term and would not be started until after the Community Plan is

reviewed.

(4) é

Technical advice given to the Planning Committee by staff is that revising
the by-law to include changes made following a public hearing, would make
the by-law subject to legal challenge. Due to that possibility, and
concern about its impact on work being carried out to update regulations
to comply with Bill 62, the Committee are rec-mmending that a conservativ
procedure be followed, that a new by-law be started.
