Church development
clears the first hurdle

NORTH SHORE Alliance Church has asked North Van-
couver City to amend its Official Community Plan to allow
the building of a church on the southeast corner of 23rd
Street and St. George’s Avenue.

And despite a planner’s recom-
mendation urging rejection of the
Proposal, city council voted Mon-
day to send the request to the Ad-
visory Planning Commission for a
report.

Pastor Arnie Toews told council
he had spoken to area residents
about the new development and
had found the response to be fa-
vorable.

**We are very convinced that the
neighbors are in support of this
land use,’’ Toews said.

single-family zone in light of the
city’s commitment not to support
institutional development on the
site, he said.

White also noted that in 1984
council rejected an offer by the

The planner also expressed con-
cerns over taxation of the proper-
ty.

He noted that if the single-fami-
ly designation remained, the land
and the housing would be taxable.

Toews noted that the church
organization presently provides a
number of free services to the
community that might otherwise
come out of tax dollars.

Council agreed that the loss of
tax revenue generated by the prop-
erty was not an important issue, as
the site has already been exempt
from taxation since 1947,
