West. Vancouver council
refused last week to spot
zone property at 1447-1465
Clyde Avenue for a
proposed commercial-office
structure’ until zoning
recommendations for the
entire side of that street are
received.

Alderman Robert Hicks
said council should consider
the entire area in terms of
possible building silhouettes
and parking ratios before
making any decisions on the
proposal for the middle of
that block.

Ambleside Medical
Centre Ltd. presented
council with plans for a
three-storey building, — in-
cluding a pedestrian arcade
and a parking ratio of one

space for every 600 square |

feet.

Hicks said the proposal
has “considerable merit”,
but the spot-zoning to
commercial zone three to
allow an increase in com-
mercial activity as well as a
decrease in the parking ratio
scemed incompatible.

He said he did not want to
make any decision until staff
reported on the proposed
building's impact on the area
and council agreed.
