BACKGROUND:

Qver the last two years multi~family development activity in Port
Coquitlam has been very active, with the market allowing for higher densities.

Some short-comings of the Zoning Bylaw, specifically in the RM-4 and
RM-5 zones have come to light with these projects.

The purpose of this report is to correct some of these short-comings by
clarifying definitions in the Zoning Bylaw, and modifying some provisions in
the RM-4 and RM-5 zones.

The result is limited increases of densities, encouragement of
underground parking, reduced impact of underground structures on yard setbacks
and the provision of practical indoor and outdoor recreation areas.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS :

The proposed amendments introduce the following changes:
Density:
RM-4: from one (1) to one decimal four (1.4) F.A.R.

RM-5: from one (1), one decimal six (1.6) and one decimal nine
(1.9) to two decimal five (2.5) F.A.R.

Usable Open Space:

To be replaced by Recreation Areas.
