in May of 1980 but was ap-
proved in principle in April
1976, encourages the lower
Lonsdale area to develop as
non-family housing, office
space, neigborhood com-

mercial, restaurants, parks
and waterfront uses.

Apartment co-owner Lor-
na McHaffie of La Viva
spoke up against the
development at the public
hearing.

“Last Tuesday evening |
took around a_ petition

against the change in zon-
ing,'' McHaffie told council.
“EL was prepared to be well
received, but 1 was not
prepared for the overwhelm-
ing emotion — the anger,
hostility and = frustration
directed at North Van City
Council. People said, ‘Yes,

I'll sign the petition, because
City council puts up too
many buildings,’ and ‘Yes,
I'lt sign because there’s not
enough parking in the area,’
and ‘Yes, I'll sign because
City Council doesn't care.’

The proposed building will
be 36 feet on the north side
and 52 feet on the south
side, to accommodate the
slope in the land.

Says Crockart: ‘'The
community plan guidelines
suggest high buildings at
Lonsdale sloping down to
Forbes — classical urban
planning. And we're well
within the restrictions. The
apartment building behind
has three floors and a base-

ment, so it is atleast 35 feet
high.”

Another apartment owner
Jim Mackie complcined that
the land was zoned industrial
when he bought his apart-
ment and now City plans to
change that. “The existing
height level was in existence
when | bought the property,
but now you're changing the
ground rules.*’

But developer David
Westrheim said, ‘‘the actual
people opposing the project
have been there far less than
the community plan. There
is a clear indication in the
plan that this might happen.

“We have adhered to the
community plan. There's no

other viable solution. I think
it’s important that if
members of council want to
attract business, create
North Vancouver jobs and
taise taxes for the
municipality, and they have
clearly defined the com-
munity plan, they should
adhere to it. Seven months
into the project it's put on
hold — it’s not good for
business.”*

Parking for the 11,000
square foot building adhered
to the plan of having one
parking spot per 500 square
feet, totalling 22 spaces.
Total employees will be a
maximum of 25, and cycle
stands will be provided.
