/14. May 26th, 1975

RS-1 areas be modified to permit selective RS-2 areas to be rezoned for

housing developments. The report then referred to the Growth Policy

adopted in July, 1974 dividing the City into three sectors, and establishing

a growth limit on the whole City that would set as a goal, provision for
approximately 300 dwelling units per year, allocated as follows:
1. Port Coquitlam South area 100 iots
2. Coast Meridian West area - North of Lougheed 150 lots
3. Coast Meridian East area - North of Lougheed 50 lots
Total 300 lots

also, in order to provide a stable supply of building lots, three to
five times the annual demand for vacant lots should be maintained;
therefore, at the rate of 300 lots per year, this would mean a supply of
900 to 1500 - average 1200 AVAILABLE building lots should be maintained
at any one time. In the report, it was stated that in 1974 there was a
potential 613 lots that could have been available; however, during the
past 10 months only 149 single family lots have been built upon and the
sector system allotments were not or will not be met. A statistical
summary of residential development in the three sectors together with a
summary of current and projected school accommodation were then outlined
followed by the 1975 Growth Policy set forth hereunder:

"The process of selecting development proposals for approval must be
based on a number of factors:
1. availability of services.
2. the advantage of the development fron the point of view of fill-in
or completing toad patterns or utility grids, etc.
3. availablity of school facilities.
4. the propriety of the land-use and the time of the development from
the point of view of the City's long range plans for land-use, highway
development, or other servicing requirements."

The Committee, in its report, advised that based on the foregoing,
the Planning & Zoning Committee will use these guidelines in presenting
future development proposals.

His Worship the Mayor suggested that all the recommendations in the
report be dealt with as a whole, and to this the Council generally
agreed.

Alderman Traboulay then spoke to the growth policy and queried what is

different between that proposed in the report now under consideration
