RE: Proposed Mandatory Development Permit Area III ~
Planning and Development Committee ~ April 10, 1990

oh,

Proposed Mandatory Development Permit Area III, from those shown in Drawing
No. 1 to those shown in Drawing No. 2.

BACKGROUND:

On March 19, 1990 the Municipal Council, while considering Rezoning
Application File 5/90 at the corner of Westwood Street and Davies Avenue,
approved in principle the designation of the area shown in Drawing No. 1 as
Mandatory Development Fermit Area III,

The applicant of Rezoning 5/90, has now requested that the properties

north of Shaftsbury Avenue, occupied by the Westwood Center be not included
within the Mandatory Development Permit Area III (See attached letter).

proposed Mandatory Development Permit Area is based on financial
considerations.

Although the arguments given by the proprietor of the Westwood Center,

may be not all that solid, the Westwood Center is a new complex and therefore

is unlikely that a Development Permit for this property will be required
within the next few years.

The site is also covered by a Comprehensive Development Plan that
attaches drawings to the zone, for all but the smaller lot at the corner of
Lougheed and Westwood.

Should a significant departure from the plans contained with the
Comprehensive Development Zone for the last phase of development of the
Westwood Center be requested by the applicant, then Council could extend the
Mandatory Development Permit Area designation to include these properties.

Because it is not critical to include the Westwood Center in a Mandatory

Development Permit Area at this time, the Planning Department Supports the
request from Westlo Financial Corporation.
