Body

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The purpose of the application is to amend the Zoning Bylaw and the Official Community Plan to permit a mixed-use development consisting of 32 residential units and one commercial unit at a combined density of 1.3 FAR. The current and proposed OCP Land Use Designations are Low Density Residential and Townhouse Residential. The applicant is proposing a Land Use Designation of Neighbourhood Commercial Mixed-Use and a new CD Zone (CD No. 168). As per Council direction the Zoning Amendment Bylaw is drafted such that the proposed residential vehicle parking ratio is based off the new Parking Bylaw rental requirements but will be applied to either rental or strata tenure. The Zoning Amendment Bylaw is also drafted to ensure that any of the permitted commercial uses on the property will only require one space per 45m2 of commercial floor space. A Section 219 Covenant is required to ensure that the southern pathway improvements both off-site and on-site are constructed as illustrated in the attached Landscape Plan, and that no additional parking spaces are constructed in the open space in the rear yard. A statutory right-of-way will also be required over the portion of the pathway on the subject property.
