Walls Avenue terminates at the western boundary of the Nelson Creek ravine; zoned RS-l One-Family Residential; and designated Neighbourhood Attached Residential (Attachment 2).

Other Permitted Uses - RT-l Zone, NAR Designation The applicant has indicated that they wish to pursue a two-lot subdivision under the proposed RT-l zone. However, under the RT-l zone, the property owner could choose to develop the site as a single-family use or a duplex. Attachment 4 outlines the full range of uses permitted in RT-l zones. Development Servicing The applicant has submitted preliminary concepts demonstrating how the proposed subdivision can be serviced in accordance with the City's Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. The proposed servicing upgrades include completion of the Walls Avenue frontage (concrete curb and gutter, separated sidewalks, street trees, required water, sanitary and storm sewer connections) and the adjacent lane frontages. The servicing upgrades would be provided for as a condition of subdivision approval. Environmental Protection Measures Nelson Creek, a fish bearing tributary, bisects 374Lebleu Street and is located east of the 29-9 m^ portion of 374 Lebleu Street that is included in this proposed rezoning and subdivision. The applicant submitted a Riparian Areas Regulations (RAR) report from a qualified environmental professional (OEP), which recommends a minimum 10 metre wide Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) boundary as measured from the natural boundary of the creek. The SPEA will be secured and protected under private ownership through the registration of a vegetation protection Section 219 Restrictive Covenant with the subdivision approval. Suitable fencing and signage along the SPEA boundary will also be secured through this restrictive covenant. In addition, the RAR report indicates that no existing trees within or immediately adjacent to the riparian corridor are required to be removed as a component of the proposed development. However, to ensure that remaining trees in the SPEA are deemed safe, the City will require completion of a post-construction report from a OEP and certified arborist to ensure trees are evaluated for safety prior to occupancy, and the developer to mitigate all issues.
