Chesterfield residents
balk at zoning proposal

A PUBLIC hearing concerning
the proposed rezoning of two
lots in the 100-block of West
{7th St. drew more than 30
concerned residents to
Monday’s council meeting.

NORTH VANCOUVER
CITY COUNCIL
By Robert Galster

Aa application presented to
North Vancouver City council by
Niad Builders Ltd. seeks approval
for the construction of a seven-
storey building with 37 one- and
two-bedroom units.

The site is zoned for medium
density apartment use. The develop-
er is asking for a change to compre-
hensive development zoning.

Commercial space on the build-
ing’s ground floor is also in the com-
pany’s proposal.

The majority of the speakers at
the hearing were residents of 1650
Chesterficid Ave.

They are located beside the pro-
posed building.

Richard Low, a member of the
Strata council at 1650 Chesterfield
Ave., expressed concern with the
kind of commercial activity likely to
take place at the proposed building.

Low told councillors that the area
is already faced with a “tremendous
amount of foot traffic.”

He argued that the eventual use
of the commercial area should
exclude resiaurants, video stores or
any other establishment that may
remain open on a 24-hour basis.

“This commercial space ... is a
matter of sore concern,” said Low,

He added that most of the traffic
in the area consists of young people.

The proposal also incorporates a
density transfer from a ncighboring
site.

The move would allow the pro-
ject to remain within the city’s offi-
cial community plan guidelines.

The transfer process involves tak-
ing the unused density portion from
one site and applying it to another so

that the combined average is within
applicable guidelines.

In exchange, the site with density
to spare gives up its right to redevel-
Op to its previous allowable maxi-
mium.

Following the public hearing,
councillors took Low’s comments to
heart.

Council postponed voting on the
issue until city staff has had a chance
to rework the proposal to limit possi-
bie uses of the commercial space.
