Powell River council is being asked to approve an application for the expansion of the Coast Guard’s station on Marine Avenue.
Council will meet today to discuss the proposed expansion that is said to include a new workshop building, disaster response shed, and storage shed, but before the applicant can apply for a permit, council must approve the development permit.
The city will face two possible options, to approve or not approve.
A staff report says if council approves the permit, it will allow the applicant to apply for the building permit and move closer to construction.
However, should they deny the application then amendments will be needed before a permit is granted, which could require a new building design and layout.
