highrise

By BILL BELL

If the West Vancouver
zoning bylaw for 1972
Bellevue allows high-rise
development, and if a
development permit for a
high-rise there meets all of
the zoning and design
criteria, should the building
be allowed even though
opposed by a majority of the
community?

That is the difficult
question now facing West
Vancouver council,
following’ a packed public
meeting Monday night on a
development permit fora, 17-
storey high-rise, planned by
Esteem Investments Ltd.

Keith Melville,
spokesman for Esteem
Investments, said the
volumes of letters and
petitions protesting the
development -did not deal
with the building, but only
with the zoning — the same
constroversial zoning which
council has kept intact,
despite various attempts to
change it.

“The people didn’t address
themselves to the building,
only to the zoning, and that
is not what we are here to
discuss,” Melville told the
meeting. .

Melville later told the
North Shore News he did not
think that council received

AS- ~ Wedest¥ February & 4, 1981 - North Shore News

any information on their
development permit.

“Council didn’t receive
any information on our
development permit except
for our own and our permit
meets the criteria of the
zoning and design.”

When asked if council
could reject a development
permit provided the
proposal meets all criteria,
Mayor Derrick Humphreys
said it was a_ difficult
question which could not be
answered at this time.

But when asked if council
had rejected other permits
which met all criteria,
Mayor Humphreys replied:
“Yes, they (council) have
turned them down before ...
they’ve turned them down
because they didn’t like
them.”

Alderman Don Lanskail
was more cautious, saying
that such a question would
have to be answered by the
municipal solicitor.

But while Melville might
claim that no one spoke
specifically about his
building, the crowded

audience heard numerous:

letters and petitions con-
demning high-rise
development in general and
the high-rise being proposed
for 1972 Bellevue in par--
ticular. :

Many expressed, ‘concern
about West Vancouver
becoming a coricrete jungle
with loss of views, traffic
congestion, pollution and
even the danger of buildings
falling down during an
earthquake.

Council expects”a report
back from staff in three
weeks on the larger issue of
the effect of downzoning the.
entire apartment area in

_ West Vancouver.

Meanwhile council, is
reserving its decision n_ the
1972 Bellevue application.
