A 648-unit townhouse and apartment development in the northeast corner of the Dominion Triangle will go before a public hearing next month in Port Coquitlam.
PoCo residents will get their chance to comment on the project, known as the Dominion River Front Neighbourhood, which includes 250 apartments in four buildings and 298 townhouses on six parcels. A large amenity building and an active park will also be included on the 25-acre site.
The residential portion is the second half of a two-part development application for a 42-acre property that was originally zoned entirely industrial.
Con-West, which is developing the property, worked out a deal with the city that would guarantee industrial development in the area providing the company could move forward with a residential project on half of the land. Now that the industrial development is underway on the 17-acre southern portion, the company can move forward with its residential project.
Those who wish to comment on the proposal can attend Port Coquitlam's council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 11 at city hall. For more information go to www.portcoquitlam.ca.

DRIVE-THROUGH
Fremont Village developer Onni Group is asking the city of Port Coquitlam to amend its zoning bylaw to allow drive-through restaurants on its Dominion Triangle site.
The changes would mean that at least two fast food outlets could operate in the area on the western part of the property, located at 810 Sherling Ave. Laura Lee Richard, the city's director of development services, said the extra vehicle traffic would not negatively affect the pedestrian promenade planned for the shopping area on the eastern half of the property.
The Fremont Village area is a portion of the Dominion Triangle that includes the Walmart and future Canadian Tire development, along with two residential towers.
The zoning amendment bylaw, which was discussed at the city's smart growth committee meeting, still requires the approval of the full council before Onni can move forward with its restaurant plans.
