MEMO MAY ~ 5 i975

MAYOR AND COUNCIL . DATE: MAY 1, 1975

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE

_RE:.. WESTGATE. ENTERPRISES LTD., R#15/75.

Council will recall in July 8, 1974, a %1-unit apartment proposal at 2986

Coast Meridian Rd. was presented to Council by Westgate Enterprises Ltd. Due
to a statement of Westgate representatives on parking conflicting with what was
expressed to the Planning and Zoning Committee previously, Council decided to
refer the matter back to the Committee. Since then, the proposal has remained
inactive until recently. Meanwhile, an amendment to the Zoning By-law to lower
densities in apartment zones was introduced and was finally adopted by Council
on October 7, 1974, On account of the amendment, the density permitted on the
Westgate site is reduced from 18 to 9 units/ acre.

It should be noted that at the time the By-law amendment was introduced, it was
done with the understanding that the move was to gain control over the quality

of apartment developments and that Council would be prepared to allow developments
to the previous density upon application for rezoning or land use contract.

On April 25, 1975, Mr. Toigo of Westgate met with the Planning and Zoning
Committee on an amended development proposal of 4 2-storey apartment blocks with
76 units. It is indicated by Mr. Toigo that the project would likely be all
rental units. The following are statistics of the proposal:-

' Site area: 4.21 ac.

No, of units: 76

Density: 18 units/ac.

Parking: . 150% surface parking

Lot coverage: 26% (35% maximum permitted)

Open space: adequate under By-law .requirement

RECOMMENDATION:

The Planning and Zoning Committee recommends that a land use contract be approved
to permit the proposed development subject to approval of final development plans
and approval of the City Engineer on servicing.
