Council approved the mo-

opposed the motion 3-3 to
rescind the February resolu-
tion.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean’ made
a new motion, which council
approved, that in spite of the
February 25 resolution, the
developers were at liberty to
make a rezoning application.

The developers spent

sound

$75,000 in detailed material
to support their proposal —
including traffic and market
studies, brochures and site
renderings.

council he had received a
great deal of interest from
prospective retailers.

Unger said the gardens
would increase trade and
tourist traffic in North Van-
couver City, and he said he
had plans of running a
special Park and Tilford bus
that would pick up tourists

and guests from the hotels —

and seabus. -

Clark said aithough he
had been quoted in the News
as being in favor of main-
taining the industrial zoning
for the Park and Tilford
land, he was open to the
most reasonable solution.
He said he was willing to re-
consider the rezoning, ‘‘so
there would be no more
hiding behind rocks.”

“ “It's been printed that I’m
against the eroding of in-
dustrial tand,’’ Clark said,
“but I’m practical. If that’s
the only thing that can go
there, I leave it to staff.’

Both Ald. John

tentions of changing their
stance on the zoning or giv-

industrial land study was
released.

’ Ald. Ralph Hall expressed
his approval for the project,
saying it would offer tax
revenue, it would create
jobs, it would offer long-
term stability and an
economic spin-off.
