RECOMMENDATION: That City Council direct the City Clerk to prepare a Bylaw rezoning block 14,D.L.'s 231 & 288, Plan 4667 NWLD. From A-l Agricultural to M-2 Industrial District.

‘BACKGROUND:

This application is joined with Starbuck Development's application R#37/81 for constructing part of Coast Meridian Road and installing utility services.

OBSERVATIONS:

City Council in discussing Starbuck Development's application for thé property north of this application, expressed a desire to make provision for more productions oriented industry, rather than warehousing. The owners of this property & Starbuck Development were advised of City Council's

interest and they modified their proposals.

The development strategy for Coast Meridian Road being put forward by the Planning Department is to place high standard clean industry along the

major entry routes of Kingsway and Mary Hill Bypass. Behind lots fronting onto these entry routes a gradual increase of heavy industry will take place on neighbouring lots. Following this design philosophy, application R#37/81 now contains amix of multi-~bay warehouse use along its north-side near Kingsway and strata lots for small industry to the south. The subject application R#4/82, further to the south, is exclusively for strata lots for individual heaview operations. As development of these properties in the form being presented is key to the proposed development strategy, their approval is recommended.
