1 Side Setback Amendments to the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone Options to amend side setbacks for Row Housing Recommendation: That Administration prepare amendments to Zoning Bylaw 12800, as generally outlined in Attachment 2 of the December 7, 2015, Sustainable Development report CR_2397, and return to City Council Public Hearing. Report Summary This report proposes draft amendments to setback, private outdoor amenity area, landscaping, and design regulations for Row Housing in the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone. Previous Council/Committee Action At the April 21, 2015, Executive Committee meeting, the following motion was passed: 1. That Administration prepare and return to Executive Committee with, amendments to the Small Scale Infill Development Zone (RF3) within Mature Neighbourhood Overlay to provide for: an increased interior side setback in conjunction with a corresponding reduction of the flanking side setback (Option 1 set out in the April 21, 2015, Sustainable Development report CR_2111). front setback areas that may be used for the provision of private outdoor amenity areas at-grade. 2. That Administration consider applying architectural treatment section (18 and 19) Zoning Bylaw regulation, to the portion of the building facing the interior side yard. Report Background: Current regulations in the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone allow Row Housing structures on corner lots to be as close as 1.2 metres to the interior side property line. While the current setbacks provide for a functional and buildable area, these same setback requirements can also have negative impacts on neighbouring properties including: loss of perceived privacy from overlooking windows and rooftop terraces; minimal area to install landscaping to screen the Row Housing structure; limits space for at grade amenity area; loss of sunlight and shadowing; large uninterrupted expanses of wall facing neighbouring properties.

2 Sustainable Development report CR_2111 outlined options to address these impacts, and Executive Committee directed Administration to prepare amendments based on increasing the interior side setback along with a corresponding reduction to the flanking side setback. For the purpose of this report and to assist the reader, definitions and supplemental diagrams of key terms used to describe spatial requirements are included in Attachment 1. Amendments proposed in Attachment 2 are summarized as follows: Setbacks A reduction to the flanking side setback from 2.5 metres to 2.0 metres in conjunction with an increase to the interior side setback from 1.2 metres to 3.0 metres is proposed. This will result in an overall reduction in width of the allowable building pocket by 1.3 metres. An enlarged interior side setback offers additional area for at grade amenity areas and enhanced landscaping. A reduction to the flanking side setback will result in a more urban row housing form, while preserving a sufficient yard to accommodate landscaping, projections and verandas. As a result of an overall reduction in the width of the allowable building pocket, current site coverage allowances would no longer align with the size of the allowable building pocket. To maintain an allowable building pocket that aligns with site coverage allowances, a tradeoff should be made to increase the length of the allowable building pocket by amending front setback or rear setback requirements for Row Housing. Instituting a maximum 6.0 metre front setback within the Mature Neighbourhood Overlay largely realigns the allowable building pocket with site coverage allowances. Attachment 3 provides a comparison of the current and proposed relationship between site coverage and setback regulations. Private Outdoor Amenity Area To accommodate at grade private outdoor amenity area within the interior side setback, rigid dimensional requirements of 4 metres by 4 metres are proposed to be replaced with a more flexible minimum at grade amenity area requirement of 15 metres square, and a minimum dimensional requirement of 3.0 metres. Additionally, regulations prohibiting the dedication of amenity area in the front yard are removed. Together, these changes are intended to provide greater flexibility in accommodating useable amenity areas that add to the livability and quality of life of the residents. When above grade amenity area is provided via a rooftop terrace, a stepback is proposed. Introducing a stepback requirement is intended to alleviate privacy and overlook concerns between neighbouring properties, and create a pedestrian-friendly environment by ensuring structures maintain a human scale.

3 Additional Changes Further amendments are proposed to provide specific guidance regarding landscaping and appearance of the Row House structures. Specifically, landscaping is proposed between abutting properties in order to better screen Row Housing structures, and mitigate impacts to abutting properties. In addition, the provision of at least one entrance facing each abutting public roadway helps to activate all street frontages and reduce the occurrence of blank walls facing the front yard. The proposed amendments also require incorporating greater architectural treatment and individually defining each dwelling on all façades. Proposed changes are intended to eliminate expanses of blank walls, and provide visual interest when the structure is viewed from neighbouring properties. This will reduce the visual impacts on adjacent properties and better integrate Row Housing developments with the surrounding community. The impact on neighbouring properties is the same, whether it is Row Housing or other listed uses within the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone. To ensure a consistent urban form within the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone, strategic amendments are proposed for all uses within this zone. Proposed amendments include: zone wide reductions to the flanking side setback to encourage a pedestrian friendly and urban feeling streetscape; and inclusion of Apartment and Stacked Row Housing in regulations specific to corner lots, where Row Housing faces the flanking side lot line. A holistic approach to the proposed amendments in the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone is intended to improve the overall livability for residents within the zone. Public Consultation Public consultation for this project was based on a meeting with Canadian Home Builders Association Edmonton Region, an interactive workshop, engagement with the Edmonton Insight Community and a publicly available online survey. A summary of the feedback received is outlined below and further details are included in Attachment 4. Canadian Home Builders Association Edmonton Region On September 11, 2015, a presentation and question and answer session was held with Canadian Home Builders Association. Industry stakeholders were supportive of the direction of options proposed that encouraged infill Row Housing development that is sensitive to existing development and manages impacts on neighbouring land uses.

4 Interactive Workshop September 14, 2015, Administration presented setback options to residents, builders, designers, Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, and community leagues representatives at an interactive workshop. Focused discussion occurred around each of the following subject areas: changes to side setbacks, amenity area requirements, overlook and privacy issues, and improving architectural interest. Consensus on these discussion areas was largely achieved amongst all in attendance. Opinions expressed supported shifting Row Housing structures closer to the flanking side lot line, greater flexibility with regards to provision of amenity area in the front yard, encouraging design that respects the privacy of neighbouring properties, and improving overall architectural design of Row Housing and compatibility with existing development. Feedback received was used to create the proposed amendments. Surveys An online survey was distributed to the public and members of the Edmonton Insight Community in October The online survey garnered 88 responses through members of the public and 1493 responses through members of the Insight Community. Overall, responses from the online surveys echoed key themes expressed at the interactive workshop. Validation of the workshop themes resulted in Administration drafting the proposed amendments to the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone, as described in Attachment 2. Policy The Way We Grow, Municipal Development Plan, Bylaw 15100: 3.5, Support redevelopment and residential infill that contribute to the livability and adaptability of established neighbourhoods and which are sensitive to existing development. 5.2, Require development to fit with the existing and planned neighbourhood context, to respect the scale, form, massing, style and materials of the neighbourhoods and to incorporate other design elements that create a transition between the new development and the existing neighbourhood. 4.4, Provide a broad and varied housing choice, incorporating housing for various demographic and income groups in all neighbourhoods. Corporate Outcomes This report contributes to achieving the corporate outcome Edmonton is attractive and compact as it provides options to transform Edmonton s urban Form and elevate the livability and attractiveness within established and mature neighbourhoods, as described in The Way Ahead City of Edmonton Strategic Plan,

5 Justification of Recommendation The proposed amendments to Zoning Bylaw are intended to address privacy and built form issues related to Row Housing in the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone by relocating Row Housing structures closer to the public roadways, allowing for greater amenity area flexibility, and requiring greater use of landscaping and architectural treatments on facades.

21 Attachment 4 Public Consultation Summary Interactive Workshop Summary: Date: September 14, 2015 Attendees: 24 participants 11 Community Leagues, EFCL; 2 Residents; 11 builders, designers, architects 5 City of Edmonton staff facilitating Discussion Themes and Perspectives Shared: Setbacks: Increase interior side setback to 4.0m Decrease flanking side setback to minimum (1.5 m) o Zero setback if possible Reduction of flanking side setback equivalent to increase to interior side setback Reduce flanking side setback and allow greater projections into setbacks Increase interior side setback to a meet amenity area size requirements Setback variation may impact the number of units within a row house o Loss of floor area could lead to loss of units Shadow relationship Overlook and Privacy: Correlation between side yard setbacks and privacy o Privacy maintained through careful design (installing frosted windows, window placement, orientation of amenity area, landscaping) Shift row house towards flanking side yard to reduce direct overlook Increased interior setback provides more potential for trees and screening in interior side yard = visual break Roof top patios facing the neighbouring property create significant overlook and Privacy issues o Roof top patios should be oriented towards the street, or stepped back from edge of structure o At grade decks no issues; roof top patio greater impact Solar rights o third storey structure only at north end of block Page 1 of 12

22 Attachment 4 Architectural Interest: Make each unit distinct (individually defined units) o Materials, colour, texture, staggering units, non-repetitive window spacing, variation in roof lines, articulation, window trim Greater emphasis on requiring architectural features on interior side yard façade Landscaping can be used not to replace but to further enhance architectural interest along interior side yard o Trees, shrubs, gardens Amenity Area: Amenity area is a necessity in order to encourage families to live in row houses At grade amenity area should be encouraged/prioritized - family oriented Current dimensional requirements (Section 47.5) are too restrictive o Section Neither the width nor the length of any Private Outdoor Amenity Area shall be less than 4.0 m, except that if it is provided above the first Storey the minimum dimensions shall be 3.0 m. o Requirements should be area based (m2) rather than Minimum threshold for how long or wide space. ie: 3.0 m Checklist of amenity area requirements as usable dimensions (patio space, BBQ, seating, patio fuirniture) o Area based requirement provides greater flexibility Rooftop amenity areas should be discouraged to prevent overlook into neighbours amenity area Fenced off private amenity area and walkway Allow roof top amenity area, keep oriented towards street o Roof top patios provide additional flexibility in providing usable amenity space Consider shadowing on subject site and neighbour s amenity area Front yard is an acceptable location for amenity area o Except along major streets o Low borders/hedges/fences Middle unit stretch their yard area Permit amenity area on top of garages Page 2 of 12

23 Attachment 4 Edmonton Insight Community: Question 1: Currently, Zoning Bylaw allows Row Housing in the (RF3) Small Scale Infill Development Zone to be located at least 1.2m (4 feet) from the neighbouring lot s property line. Considering the current 1.2m (4 feet) side setback standard, please rate your level of agreement that this distance is adequate. Total Total 1493 Strongly agree 7% Agree 23% Neither agree nor disagree 18% Disagree 26% Strongly disagree 13% Don't know 13% Page 3 of 12

24 Attachment 4 Question 2: Do you believe the current minimum interior side setback should be increased? Total Total 580 Yes 93% No 4% Don't know 3% Page 4 of 12
