Committee weighs OCP/rezoning for Harbour St. mixed-use project

The Committee of Council is considering a recommendation to amend the Official Community Plan and zoning for properties at 1884-1930 Harbour St., 1887-1911 Prince St., and 1155 Pitt River Rd. The proposal would change the land use from Townhouse Residential to Neighbourhood Commercial and allow a mixed-use development with ground-floor commercial space, townhouses, apartments, and amenities. The committee is also being asked to direct staff to apply for federal grant funding for the McAllister Avenue Rehabilitation Project. The meeting includes a closed session for preliminary negotiations on a municipal service.
