1 MEMORANDUM The Corporation of Delta ComlYtunity Planning & Development,,. To: From: Date: Subject: File No.: CC: Mayor & Council. Jeff Day, P.Eng. Director of Community Planning & Deelopment May 19, 2015 Public Hearing Project No.5 Rezoning, Development Variance Permit, Development Permit and SU.bdivision Application at 4875, 4889, A Avenue and B Street ( B.C. Ltd.) LU George V. Harvie, Chief Administrative Officer! I r At the May ii, 2015 Regular Meeting, Council requested information pertaining to Delta's policies and guidelines for on-site outdoor amenity spaces, as well as a landscape plan (Attachment A). Under Delta's Zoning Bylaw, there are provisions for minimum open space amenity area specified on a per unit basis within the residential multiple family (townhouse) zones, as follows: three-bedroom unit - two-bedroom unit - one-bedroom unit - 50 m 2 (538 ft2); 27.5 m 2 (296 ft2); and 19 m 2 (205 ft2). Delta's Zoning Bylaw defines open space amenity as land free of buildings, structurs, roadways and parking areas and intended for the enjoyment of recreational use of the occupants of the building for. which such space is provided. Part of open space amenity area may be designated as play space. A minimum play space requirement of 4.5 m 2 (48 ft2) per unit for developments containing more than 20 units is also specified. As Council is aware, Delta's Zoning Bylaw is outdated and under review. Recent townhouse developments in Delta have been regulated under comprehensive development zoning where each development proposal is assessed by staff contextually and on its own merits. The above open space amenity area ratios for townhouse development, therefore, are not typically applied;

Ltd.) File No: LU Page 2 of 3 however, they do serve as a guide for staff in considering such developments. r. In this case, the proposal is for a total of 23 townhouse units consisting of one two-bedroom unit, one three-bedroom unit and 21 four-bedroom units. Applying the townhouse open space amenity area requirements would require an open space amenity area of 1,127.5 m 2 (12,136 ft2) and a play area of 103 m 2 (1,108 ft2). The applicant is froposing a common outdoor open sace amenity area of 497 m 2 (5,350 ft ), including a play area 21 m 2 (226 ft ) and a gathering area 29 m 2 (312 ft2) (Attachment A). The open space amenity area would form part of an internal courtyard and would be located adjacent to large open patio areas for each unit, which total 293 m 2 (3,154 ft2) in area. The integration of the open space amenity area adjacent to the rear patio areas ensures a generous private open courtyard area and encourages useable open space amenity area by occupants of the building. The open space amenity area including play and gathering area, for example, is secure, highly visible, centrally located and accessible by all units (Attachment A). The site is also located in proximity to public parks that will provide other outdoor recreation opportunities. The proposed outdoor amenity area combined with generous private patio spaces is considered to be adequate for the development and was supported by both the Community Planning Advisory Committee and Advisory Design Panel. It should also be noted that under the Local Government Act, the applicant would also be required to provide cash-in-lieu for parkland in the amount of five percent of the value of the land to Delta in addition to the open space amenity area being proposed as part of this development.
