The property is presently outside of the Urban Reserve are and governed by the Agricultural Land Commission Act (ALCC). These lands have been designated as being within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Residential subdivision is not permitted within the ALR and development is restricted to improvements that are necessary for agricultural operations or within the limits permitted for residential inhabitation.

The property is within reasonably close proximity to urban development and therefore, would logically become the focus of future residential expansion. It is possible that the property may be removed from the ALR as development pressure intensifies in this part of Port Coquitlam, however the feasibility of this would need to be investigated by any potential purchaser. The property is zoned A-1, Agricultural and the minimum permitted lot size is 2.0 hectares (4.95 acres). From this perspective, the property appears to have subdivision potential into at least two lots (however, the ALR designation prohibits subdivision for any reason besides agricultural production, but there may be some flexibility in this). The site is flat, level and at street grade with some mature trees/shrubbery near the houses. Balance of site is open and set up for hay production/raising of cattle (or other use). The property has good perimeter fences and some cross fences for a modest livestock operation near the agricultural storage buildings and the barn (used for hay storage and shelter for livestock). Older sheds and storage buildings exist.

The open fields have been well maintained and are used for hay production. Property is afforded partial city services including water, BC Hydro and gas, telephone service and cable television connections. Sanitary sewage disposal is by septic tank and storm sewer is managed in a ditch system on both sides of the road. Prairie Avenue is a paved Class "B" local residential street without curbs or sidewalks. Limited street parking is permitted. Police and fire protection is provided by the municipality.

There are no known contamination or easements on the property.
