THE CORPORATION OF THE CiTY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and Council March 27th, 1979

FROM: Planning & Zoning Committee Re: File R#3-79

SUBJECT: Application to rezone properties at 1515, 1545,
and 1559 Pitt River Road from RS-2 to RS-1 for
a 46-lot subdivision.

LEGAL

DESCRIPTION: Lot A and Rem. B, Block 9, District Lot 232,
Plan 3613 and Lots 354 and 355, District Lot
232, Plan 33046.

BACKGROUND: The properties in question are presently used
as a poultry farm. This is a non-conforming
use as RS-2 zoning does not permit this type of
agricultural operation. These properties are
among the last several undeveloped land parcels
in the area. The proposed development is there-
fore in-fill in nature.

It should be noted that prior to final approval
of the rezoning, the poultry farm operation must
first come to an end in order to avoid carrying
the non-conforming use into RS-1 zoning.

It is also necessary to relocate the existing
walkway on Morrison Street to line up with
Taylor Street. This can be done by way of
simple land exchange with the developer at
time of subdivision approval.

RECOMMENDATION :

The Planning and Zoning Committee recommends that
this rezoning application proceed to Public Hearing.

City Planner.
