THE DIRECTOR OF PLANNING SERVICES REPORTS AS FOLLOWS:

Surrounding land uses:

North: Single Family Residential East: Vacant
South: Commercial West: Vacant

The subject property is currently undeveloped and heavily treed. This form of development
meets with Council's intention to have the area developed commercially and at the same
time, it provides rental accommodation,of fourteen (14) units, that is in short supply.

Located to the north of this site, is a single family residence that is in poor condition.
Ideally, the entire block should be developed for mixed-use and this development may
provide the catalyst that is needed.

The applicant has indicated on his plan that a total of 3,248 square feet of retail

space will be provided within the complex. Additional retail space is needed for this
area, because residential development is occurring tapidly in the northern half of

the City of Port Coquitlam. Council recently approved another rezoning application located
due east of the subject Property. The proposal calls for a two-storey professional office
building and is a good indication of the form of development that is now occuring in the
area. This application for rezoning will compliment the other development that has
already been approved by Council.
