revising the Official Community Plan Schedule A, Section
4.4.1(1) adding (ft) Fremont Street

Schedule B, Map adding the subject Property as an apartment
site.

That the Clerk's Office be directed to prepare a bylaw rezoning

the Remnant, East Portion of Lot "B" jin the South East Quarter
of Section 6, Twp. 40, NWLD Plan 5345 from A-1 to RS~2,RM-3,

COMMENTS:

This application is to complete development of lands excluded
from the ALR during 1984. Subdivision of this Property wil
not lead to additicona! development as the property is a corner
lot.

The development concept being proposed is to develop ;cul-de-
Sac roads off the neighbouring subdivision and to place a
cluster of townhouses at the intersection of Prairie Avenue and
Freemont Street,

An alternative procedure being proposed for approval of the
RM-3 portion of the development is to register a restrictive
covenant against the Property. The covenant will be to require
City appreval for any building to be constructed. This
approach is similar to a Development Permit, but operates
through the Land Title Act. The reasons for proposing this
approach is the owner does not intend to develop the RM~%
portion immediately. Consequently, building plans for the site
may change. Rather than delay approval of the RM-~3 portion of
rhe site, the feeling is that it anhould proceed as bart of ‘the
overall rezoning. This is to ensure that if the site is lett
for a townhouse development, it will not be down zoned for
Single family residential which has different requirements.
