Coun. concerned area
redevelopment ‘rushed’

A DISCUSSION paper detailing
ideas for the redevelopment of the
area around the Park Royal Hotel
will be sent to West Vancouver
advisory bodies for comment,
despite misgivings expressed by
Coun. Diana Hutchinson at West
Vancouver District Council’s
March 22 meeting.

The thick report on the propos-
ed revitalization of the Park Royal
Hotel neighborhood, which is
along Clyde Avenue between the
Capilano River and Taylor Way,
heralds a new concept in. the
redevelopment process.

“The idea is to give all of the
people concerned a chance to be
involved in the planning pro-
cess...to identify issues and con-
cerns,’ said Mayor Mark Sager,
But Hutchinson was taken aback,
not only by that extent of the
ideas that have come out of the
planning process, but that there is
no staff report and no request for

rezoning or any actual develop- .

ment proposal,

DISTRICT COUNCIL

Architect Robert Burgers, who
has worked with other architects
and consultants in formulating
concepts for redevelopment, said
that the idea is to reverse the
usual situation, whereby the
public is involved much fater in
the process when it is often con-
fronted with a fait accompli.

“1 felt this project was too im-
portant for the municipality .... to
do all the work behind the
scenes,’’ said Burgers.

Responding to the concerns of
resident Kurt Shephard, Coun.
Rod Day said the purpose of the
redevelopment is not to increase
density, but to persuade the area
fand owners to coordinate their
revitalization efforts.

“This report is basically saying
that we've got to start somewhere;
this should be a lightning rod to
make things happen,"’ said Bob
Heaslip, who represents Park
Royal Shopping Centre's interests
in the area,
