(iv) Waterfront Comprehensive Development Area is
permitted a density of 152 dwelling units per
hectare.

Downtown and the apartment district west of the
Coquitlam River on the south side of Lougheed
Highway are permitted a density of 750 dwelling
units per hectare.

Changes to permit development in Stage Two areas
or changes to the density permitted by the
Multiple Family housing policies, are to be made
on the basis of an entire neighbourhood not on an
individual site basis. Rezoning of lots to an
RS-1A designation is permitted to facilitate
their resubdivision into a more efficient shape,
provided me additional residential lots are
created.

Design criteria to judge applications for rezoning for
multiple family apartments focus on the fit of new
puilding proposals into the surroundings by examining
their height, width, color and architectural details
in relation to neighboring buildings.

A long standing goals of the City is to strengthen
downtown. Improving the market area of downtown by
increasing density along Shaughnessy Corridor is a
policy element of that goal.

Lougheed Highway and the CPR transportation corridor
have severed the City in half rather than serving as a
focus. A reason for encouraging higher density of
apartments downtown, the Flint Street apartment
district and neighborhood south of Lougheed Highway is
to create a focal point at Shaughnessy Street by
Lougheed Highway.
