PC Meeting November 9, 1993 Cont'd

Additional] Comments:

At The Public Hearing there were also a number of suggestions where no
action is recommended at this time. Some of these will be further studied br
the Planning Department and may result in “Council Initiative Amendments to
the Plan"; additional Public Hearings would be needed:

1. Request to change the designation of the south side of Pitt River Road
between Shaughnessy Street and Mary Hill Road from single family to
multi-family.

Request to designate the foot of Pitt River Road in the "Marine
Traditional" designation as “Park" to indicate potential future access t-
the river.

Reduce the amount of commercially designated land in the Northside Centre
and increase the amount of multi-family land.

-Add more commercial designated properties at the Pitt River Road and Mary
Hill Bypass intersection.

Designate all of the Northeast Sector as "Urban Reserve".

Change the "Special Study Area" designation of Colony Farm.
Change the designation of several parks in the City.

Remove the arterial road designation from Apel Drive. (This request will
be forwarded to the Engineering Department for an appropriate technical
evaluation).

DISCUSSION:

The review process of the 0.C.P. has now been completed. The Public
Hearing indicated general support for the Plan and most suggested changes are
of minor nature and can be incorporated into the final document. Dissenting
opinions, which were minimal, did not concerm teckiical aspects of the 0.C.P.

Completion of the 0.C.P. will allow the City to receive Provincial grant
funding and begin the process of policy implementation. It is therefore
recommended that the attached text amendments be approved and that Official
Community Plan Bylaw # 2848 be given Third Reading.
