Mr. 8.R. Kirk DATE: June 20, 1983.
City Administrator

Mr. We. Brown
Director of Community Planning

SUBJECT: Genstar Rezoning
Supplemental Report

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council receive this report as
: information.

COMMENTS:

Following submission of the Planning Department's report about
This application a change has been made that is being drawn te
City Councils attention. :

As Counci| members may recall, the Proposal for development of.
the Genstar property cailed for a mixed use development at the
south perimeter between Mary Hill Bypass and the Fraser River.
Due to the regulations of the CD Zoning District it can not be
applied unti | specific buitding ptans are submitted..
Consequently, an RM-4, Muitifamily Residential District and
C-3, Commercial! District are being applied.

The Zoning Districts Proposed, have been selected as they best
represent the users and density expected to be developed in the
area, The uses to be developed there include apartments as the
predominant use and a mixture of water oriented commercial
activities such as a hotel, restaurant, It is. because. of the
first activity, hotel, that C-3 rather than C-2 commercial was
selected. A hotel is felt to be a major component of any
commercial venture at this ltocetion.

In conctusion, this change from CD to RM-4 and C-3 has been
made to more clearly specify the kind of uses being proposed
and to eliminate the necessity of preparing detail! drawings for
a development that will not commence tor several years. As may
be recalled, the developer is registering a restrictive
covenant against the Property to place a design control upon
its development. Part of that design control is to extend to
the City and include our comments about proposals. :
