File No. 220/2013 PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS SUBJECT PROPERTY APPLICANT: Lorne Skopnik LEGAL: NW ¼ Section 33, Township 77,Range 14 W6M, PRD Except Plans B4055, PROPOSAL: To subdivide the parent parcel into 10 lots DECISION: ALC refused the subdivision by Resolution #2219/80 on December 18 th, PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS PROPERTIES WITHIN 100 M APPLICANT: C. Raaen LEGAL: NE ¼ Section 33, Township 77,Range 14 W6M, PRD PROPOSAL: To subdivide a 2.2 ha parcel from the property. DECISION: ALC approved the subdivision by Resolution #760/89 on August 15, 1989 COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS APPLICANT ALR: OCP: ZONING: IMPACT ANALYSIS Page 2 of 6 It is the intent of the landowners to subdivide a 10 acre parcel from the parent property in order to create a separate homesite for themselves. The subject property lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, Agricultural Land Commission approval is required. Note: Pursuant to the Agricultural Land Commission Act, an application may not be considered by the ALC unless the Regional Board authorizes the proposal to proceed to the ALC. This is intended to provide local governments with latitude to consider and weigh the local community interests of each application, in addition to its zoning and official community plan. Should the Regional District forward the application to the ALC, the information and recommendation offered by the Regional District is taken into consideration by the Commission but should not be construed as being binding on the Commission s opinions or decisions. The subject property is designated Agriculture within the South Peace Fringe Area OCP Bylaw No. 2048, This designation has minimum parcel size of 63ha (155 acres), however Section Policy C(v) states the minimum parcels size does not apply if: the subdivision is being made for the purpose of providing residence to the landowner, or a relative of the landowner, the subdivision is limited to not more than one lot per parent parcel, such a subdivision may be approved on a one time only basis per parent parcel, subdivision or land use proposals will be examined and considered in areas designated Agriculture, subject to the factors as set out in this document. Therefore an amendment to the OCP is not required. The subject property is designated as A-2 (Large Agricultural Holdings Zone) within PRRD South Peace Fringe Area Zoning Bylaw No. 1334, This zone has a minimum parcel size of 63 ha (155 ac), however should the proposal meet the requirements of subdivision under Section 946 of the Local Government Act, a zoning amendment would not be necessary. AGRICULTURE: The proposal should have minimal impact on the agricultural productivity of this parcel because there has been no use of this parcel for agricultural practices prior to making this application. Most of the parent parcel contains class 6 and 7 soils and suffers from topographical constraints. CONTEXT: This area consists essentially of large parcels of the quarter section size however there are a number of rural residential parcels in close proximity to the parent parcel, particularly to the south and west across the Pouce Coupe River. POPULATION & The proposed subdivision could increase the population of the area by 2.7 people
