Comments:

1. This application was originally submitted by one owner to
rezone their individual property. In examining the
application, City Council determined that it would be best to
have a single rezoning bylaw to cover the entire block.
Pursuant to that direction this rezoning report has been
prepared for consideration by City Council.

Ze tn City Council's deliberations about the best approach to
carry out this rezoning, it was determined that the portion of
the properties lying south of the Mary Hil! Bypass was to not
be rezoned to an RS-1 designation as that may promote
construction of single family dwellings in an area where they .
are not felt to be appropriate. City Council's opinion about
the remainder of the property was that it would be best rezoned
to an RS=-1 designation to refiect its current use and act as a
check on subsequent multipie family development. This report
has been prepared based on that direction.

3. There are two main obstacles that have had to be overcome
in preparing this application for approva! by City Council,
they are; Ministry of Highways requirements for revision to the
service road serving the southern portion of the properties and

secondly, the absence of utility services to the northern parts
