3 Page 2 January 3, 2014 Background: Site and Context The 0.2 ha (0.5 acre) site includes two existing lots on the north side of Gauthier Avenue, west of Hart Street, it gently slopes downward from the northeast corner to the southwest corner. A duplex, built in 1977, is located on 635 Gauthier Avenue with access from Gauthier Avenue. A seventy year old singlefamily house also with driveway access from Gauthier Avenue exists at 645 Gauthier Avenue (Attachment l). Within this block of Girard and Gauthier Avenues, there is an undeveloped rear lane under City ownership. The neighbourhood is predominantly zoned RT-l Two-Family Residential (Attachment 2) with a mix of single-family and duplex dwellings, ranging in age from ten to seventy years. This area is part of the Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (LNP) and is designated Neighbourhood Attached Residential (NAR) (Attachment 3). Table 1: Adjacent Property Characteristics -1^^ North, Single-Family Dwelling RT-l Two-Family Neighbourhood Attached East Residential Residential West Duplex RT-l Two-Family Residential \ ' Neighbourhood Attached Residential South Single-Family Dwelling RT-l Two-Family Neighbourhood Attached and Duplex Residential Residential Proposed Development The applicant seeks to rezone the subject properties from RT-l Two-Family Residential to RT-3 Triplex and Ouadruplex Residential to facilitate the development of two (2) back-to-front duplex units to be located on each of the two (2) adjacent lots, for a total of four (4) units per lot. Each unit includes three floors (basement, main, upper) and range in floor area (excluding garages) between I69m2 -I77m2 ( sq.ft.). With this development the adjacent portion of rear lane will be constructed and used for access to on-site parking. A statutory right-of-way (SROW) will be provided between the lots and a lane built to City standards in order to facilitate public access tothe rear lane (Attachment 4). Full street improvements along the Gauthier Avenue frontage will be required to be completed to the standards of the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. Discussion/Analysis: Official Community Plan (OCP) The proposed RT-3 zoning is identified as a corresponding zone to the NAR designation within the Southwest Coquitlam Area Plan (SWCAP) of the OCP (Attachment 3). The proposed development supports the following goals, objectives and policies, as specified in Section 4, "Housing Choices in Distinct Neighbourhoods", of the SWCAP: File #: / RZ/l Doc #: I vl

4 Page 3 January 3, 2014 Official Community Plan (OCP) cont'd/ Supports the development of vibrant, compact, complete communities with a diversity of housing choices; Promotes re-investment in and upgrade of an existing neighbourhood through redevelopment of older housing stock and associated improvements to streets and sidewalks to improve livability; Encourages the development of neighbourhoods that provide a variety of housing types, densities and designs; Encourages innovative and non-traditional, small-scale, ground-oriented housing as an alternative means of accommodating residential growth and change and potentially providing affordable housing options; Encourages lot division and consolidations that will enhance and contribute to neighbourhood character; and Encourages the utilization of rear lanes to provide improved and alternative pedestrian and vehicle access to sites and through the neighbourhood, and to accommodate additional housing choices in existing neighbourhoods. Building and Site Design The proposed development has been designed to adhere to the NAR DP Area Guidelines. In particular, the following key design characteristics are achieved: Street Orientation and Site Layout - The front units oriented to the street appear as single family dwellings with prominent front porches and private landscaped areas (Attachment 5). Pathways between the duplex units provide pedestrian access from Gauthier Avenue to the rear of the site. Exterior Treatment, Materials and Architectural Features - A variety of roof designs and subsidiary roof elements are used to break up the building mass along the length of the units and add interest to the unit designs. Large divided lite pane windows are proposed for both the front and rear units, with smaller, higher windows proposed along the length of the units. Western Lot - Traditional Design - High-quality exterior cladding and treatments including hardi-board siding and shingles, wood trim, wooden gable brackets, stone cladding, decorative porch columns and metal railings are proposed (Attachment 6). Eastern Lot - Contemporary Design - High-quality exterior cladding and treatments including stucco, tongue and groove horizontal cedar sidjng, wood trim, metal railings, and stone cladding are proposed (Attachment 7). Accessory Off-Street Parking -Fourteen (14) parking spaces and two (2) additional tandem spaces for an overall total of sixteen (16) on-site spaces are proposed in the project design (Attachment 4). The City's Zoning Bylaw requires a total of twelve (12) parking stalls for this type of development. As well, six (6) on-street parking spaces are available in front of the subject properties along Gauthier Avenue (Attachment 8). File #: / RZ/l Doc#: V1

5 Page 4 January 3, 2014 Building and Site Design cont'd/ Privacy - screening between the development and the eastern and western neighbours to include a laurel hedge and a 1.8m (6ft.) cedar fence. Landscaping - A variety of trees and shrubs will be planted. In addition, use of various fence types and use of permeable pavers for walkways and unenclosed parking areas will also be provided (Attachment 9). Trees - Existing hedge and trees on-site are to be removed. The development will meet City standards for tree replacement with no fewer than eight (8) trees to be planted on the site (Attachment 9). Lot Line Adjustment The existing westerly lot is 30.2 metres (99 feet) wide and the existing easterly lot is 16.5 metres (54 feet) wide. A lot line adjustment and site reconfiguration is proposed to create two equal 23.3 metres (76.5 feet) wide lots and would include the following: a lane dedication of the northern 3.0 metres (lo feet) from the existing 635 Gauthier property; a 1.08 metre (3.5 feet) SROW provided along the Gauthier Avenue frontage for works and services for both properties; and a 6.0 metre (20 feet) wide SROW shared between the two proposed properties to provide public access to the rear lane. These proposed lot line adjustments were found to be technically feasible at the Subdivision Advisory Committee on December 17, 2013 (Attachment lo). Development Permit (DP) A DP application has been submitted concurrent with the rezoning and DVP appiications.and is under consideration by staff to address the proposed form and character of the buildings and landscaping and will be reviewed against the NAR DP Area Guidelines. City Council authorized the delegation authority for DPs for triplexes and quadruplexes to the General Manager of Planning and Development; therefore, should Council support the rezoning, staff will consider the issuance of the proposed DP under this delegated authority. Future Development Variance Permit (DVP) The proposal requires a variance to allow Building A and Building D to be sited closer (l.2m instead of 1.8m) to the side yard property line than permitted under the RT-3 zone. This variance is being requested in order to move the buildings away from the public access SROW and provide further separation between vehicles and the residents in this development. Should Council support the rezoning application, further information on this variance will be brought forward for Council's consideration as part of the DVP application. File #: / RZ/l Doc #: V1

6 Pages January 3, 2014 Financial Implications: There are no immediate financial impacts associated with this report, though the proposed development will generate Development Cost Charge (DCC) funds for the additional units to be created. Bylaw No. 4461, 2014 Bylaw No. 4461, 2014 (Attachment ll) has been prepared for Council's consideration. Adoption of this bylaw would rezone the subject properties to RT-3 Triplex and Ouadruplex Residential as outlined in black on Schedule 'A' to the bylaw. Conclusion: Staff support the proposed rezoning of the subject properties for the following reasons: The development is consistent with the NAR designation and policy objectives of the SWCAP; The proposed design, including building form and character, and landscaping, is consistent with the applicable DP Guidelines for projects under the NAR, designation; and The proposed development will result in off-site frontage improvements and the construction of a public SROW to allow public access tothe rear lane. Should Council support the rezoning bylaw, a DVP will be brought forward for future Council consideration. Staff are recommending that Council give first reading to Bylaw 4461, 2014 and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing. J.L. Mclntyre, MClP, RPP Attachments: 1. Ortho Photo 2. Adjacent Zoning (Doc# ) 3.
