Zoning Bylaw No. 1375, Amendment Bylaw No. 2052, Page 17 of 50

18 AGENDA ITEM # 6.A. BACKGROUND: Application: The application proposes to develop 52 low density residential units on the site. The two properties together comprise approximately 2.42 hectare (5.97 acres) and are currently zoned RR-1 (Rural Residential). OCP Policies: The property is designated as Low Density Residential within the Official Community Plan, (OCP) which permits a maximum density of 25 units per hectare (10 units per acre) and a maximum height of 11metres (36 ft). The proposed development complies with the density being proposed. The OCP policy guidelines encourage duplexes or cluster housing to be developed in a manner such that they are integrated into the natural slope and compatible with the residential neighbourhood. Proposed are 52 townhouse cluster housing units on the site. Zoning Application: Requested is proposed zoning from RR-1 Rural Residential to R-3 Low Density Residential zone. R-3 zoning contains requirements for density, lot coverage, setbacks, height, and parking ZONING COMPARISON Bulk and Site Criteria R-3 Zoning The Application Density 37 U/ha (15 upa) 25 U/ha Max Units (site = acres); 89 U 52U 45% 45% Lot coverage Minimum Lot Frontage 30m, (98 ft) 67m (220 ft) Setbacks from all lot lines 7.5m (25 ft) 7.5m (25 ft) Height (from natural grade) 11m (36ft) 11m (36ft) Height Accessory Building 4.5m (15 ft) 4.5m (15 ft) Off street parking 1.75/2bedroom, 2.0/3bedroom 1.75/2bedroom, 2.0/3bedroomr Landscaping abutting Hwy 1.5m 1.5m Garbage containers screened Screened Screened Outdoor Amenity space per Unit 3.0m 2 /U (32 ft 2 ) 3.0m2/U (32 ft 2 ) Affordable Housing and Amenity Contributions: The OCP contains policies which encourage affordable housing and ensure that amenity contributions are provided. 1. The OCP: Affordable Housing The Developer has proposed that land not less than 1500 m 2 in size to be transferred to the District to be used for affordable housing. Comment -Section 7.5 of the OCP includes an affordable housing strategy which encourages inclusionary / innovative approaches to providing housing. This policy has been implemented in new development applications greater than 10 units, for Ponderosa Zoning Bylaw No. 1375, Amendment Bylaw No. 2052, Page 18 of 50

19 AGENDA ITEM # 6.A. / Pincushion Ridge, New Monaco and Somerset Reach (Hangingstone) projects since The land proposed for transfer to the District might not be developed for several years but it will become part of the District s public landbank and to be used for the development of affordable housing. 2. The OCP and District Policy: Community Amenity Contributions The developer has agreed to provide amenity contributions for the project to be used for the District s needs similar to the contributions for other projects. Comment OCP Bylaw Amendment No pertaining to implementation of affordable housing and DEV-100 Community Amenity Contribution Policy adopted in 2012 ensure that there is a requirement for community amenities and that a consistent and fair approach to providing amenities as part of new development applications, is achieved. 3. Density Bonus By virtue of density being increased from RR-1 Residential zone to R-3 Multiple Family Dwelling zone density, the securing of amenities and affordable housing is best secured through Section 904 of the Local Government Act and described as a density bonus in the zoning amendment. The density being proposed is within the maximum limits of the R-3 Multiple Family Residential zone. Technical Reports: Reports requested and provided at this stage in the approval process include: 1. Environmental Review prepared by Makonis Consulting Ltd. March 20, The review provided an aquatic assessment to the existing stream line indicated on the municipal mapping. The aquatic review indicated that there is no active or known stream located on the subject properties. Based on the review and not finding any surface water flows the author concludes that there is no stream located on either of the subject properties and would not be subject to the Riparian Areas Regulation for rezoning, nor development. 2. Servicing Brief, prepared by Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. dated December 10, Minimal upgrades and/or addition to the existing infrastructure are required. Prior to DP approval for the onsite work it is recommended that further investigation be undertaken such as detailed site grading, retaining wall design, as well as geotechnical and environmental testing to ensure that the assumptions contained within this report are appropriate. It is also recommended that the building designs take into consideration the steep terrain to reduce retaining wall heights wherever feasible. 3. Traffic Study, prepared by EYH Consultants Ltd. dated September 10, 2013 The issue of the management of traffic in the area as a result of this development and the safe design of the access to and from the site are discussed in the report. The conclusion states: A potential 52 unit townhouse development on Huston Road is expected to generate 23 and 29 vehicles in the morning and afternoon peak hours respectively. The traffic impact assessment has concluded that the three study intersections will accommodate and the driveway access intersection will accommodate the potential development traffic efficiently and safely without any required improvements.

20 AGENDA ITEM # 6.A. More updating of reports may need to take place at the Development Permit stage as part of the development approval process. Revisions or updates to studies are often deemed necessary as more detailed design takes place once the zoning amendment is approved. The Approval Process: After pre-application discussions with the applicant / developer, there is a requirement that the developer hold a public information meeting and this was held on March 26, Following that, the approval process as required in the LGA is as follows: The Development Permits (DP s) in the OCP are in the following categories: 1. Multiple Family Residential Form and Character, 2. Steep Slope; and 3. Highway Corridor As infrastructure needs to be constructed, a servicing agreement may be executed as described in the section below.

The Applicant s engineer will be required to provide detailed civil plans showing on-site roads, water, sewer, curb, gutter, sidewalks, streetlights, fire hydrants and mail boxes as well as any other servicing requirements outlined within the District s Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw #1956. Additional Process Requirements: The application has been circulated to the various technical agencies. Technical comments have been attached to this report. A Public Information meeting was hosted by the Applicant on March 26, A Public Comment Sheet and Survey Results are attached to this report. DISCUSSION: The rezoning amendment is recommended for first and second reading. The application is consistent with OCP policy. The properties on the north side of the proposed project were developed as a Comprehensive Development zone CD-1 South Glen Village (The Terraces). The approved project consists of duplex units and the application proceeded through the zoning amendment and the DP approval process in Support for this rezoning application is based upon: No harmful environmental impact is identified. The site is easily serviceable as indicated in the Engineering Design Brief. Traffic movement and access will be managed safely and efficiently as indicated in the traffic report. There are no steep slopes or hazardous slope conditions identified in the area proposed for constructing the project. The District will receive a portion of land which may be used for affordable housing in the future. The District will receive a community amenity contribution As this application proceeds, there may be some objection anticipated from neighbouring residents who have benefited from the peace and tranquility of the private land remaining in a mostly forested state for many years. However, some level of urban infill on these lands, consistent with OCP policies, is anticipated for future years. REPORT/DOCUMENT: Attached: X Available: Nil: 1. Technical Comments 2. Fact Sheet 3.

Where appropriate, potential habitat enhancement/protection opportunities. A more detailed report will determine a development footprint respectful of sensitive ecosystems and help streamline the development approval process. The resulting information could be used to guide project planning for the development at the rezoning state (e.g. covenants and buffer areas).

35 AGENDA ITEM # 6.B. District of Peachland Request for Decision To: From: Committee of the Whole (COTW) Date: October 15, 2013 Subject: Planning and Development Services Department, Paul Dupuis Peachland Policy Options for District Energy Ready Buildings Report Recommendation: THAT COTW recommend that Council receive the report titled, Policy Options for District Energy Ready Buildings: District of Peachland dated July 29, 2013 for information. Implications of Recommendation: General: Organizational: Financial: Policy: Strategic Plan: Information relating to the types of policy tools available to support District Energy System (DES) ready buildings. N/A N/A Future policy recommendations may be forwarded to Council as deemed appropriate. N/A BACKGROUND: In 2012 the District of Peachland received the BC Hydro Quickstart Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP). This plan lays out a framework for those things the District should continue to work towards regarding community wide energy initiatives and projects. DES is listed in the CEEP as something the District will work towards in the future. In April 2013 the Community Energy Association contacted staff regarding a project being fully funded through the Green Building Grant from VanCity and the Real Estate Foundation. That project was to provide reports to smaller local governments with limited capacity to investigate the policy tools available to support DES ready buildings. On July 29, 2013 the District received a draft report titled, Policy Options for District Energy Ready Buildings: District of Peachland. At the September 25, 2013 Mayor s Task Force on Climate Change recommended, THAT staff forward the report to Council to receive for information. District Energy Ready Buildings - Policy Options Page 35 of 50

36 AGENDA ITEM # 6.B. DISCUSSION: DES s are a major infrastructure upgrade within a community. Implementation can be varied, some communities work with existing utilities to provide DES while others such as the North Vancouver have decided to implement DES by creating a municipal utility service provider (in North Vancouver the Lonsdale Energy Corporation (LEC)). Where the cost for installation of DES can be justified, usually as part of new development or infill development there can be significant benefits for a community as both a revenue source and in the reduction of GHG s. The report submitted by the CEA provides the District with an assessment of policy options which may be useful to the District in the future if DES development is found to be feasible. The report provides recommendations for action. Some of the key recommendations include: That Peachland as part of the OCP review include language regarding green development and more specifically the possibility of delineating areas that may be feasible for DES s. In fact, the District already has language regarding green development as completed during the 2007 OCP review. However, as part of the next OCP review this will be reviewed and amendments forwarded that are appropriate. This may include the inclusion of District Energy Development Permit Areas. That Peachland establish those relationships and partnerships for future DES feasibility studies as appropriate. To date, the District has worked closely with both Fortis and BC Hydro. As part of the Curling Rink proposal close consultation was undertaken with Fortis representatives to provide mechanical systems that would have been DES ready. This will continue where opportunities are found to exist. That Peachland develop a sustainability checklist that will aid the District in assessing applications in relation to District objectives. District staff has developed a draft sustainability checklist. Work is still ongoing. There are other recommendations that relate to the level of involvement the District may or may not wish to have with the development of a utility. For example it is suggested that if the District intends to have a significant degree of ownership in a DES that a Local Service Area bylaw may be established. It can be seen from the assessment above that District staff is continually identifying opportunities to promote increased energy efficiencies and the reduction of GHG s where appropriate. Many of the recommendations of the report have been gradually worked upon since 2007, as shown. Staff will continue to identify opportunities for partnerships and collaboration to achieve the energy efficiencies and in attempting to meet the GHG reduction targets as set out within the Official Community Plan. It is staff s recommendation that the report be received for information. REPORT/DOCUMENT: Attached: Available: Nil:X The report is 38 pages and can be viewed at the District of Peachland municipal office located at 5806 Beach Avenue from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays.

The bylaw was put in place for a period of three years, ending in As staff were unable in early 2013 to confirm with the Okanagan Similkameen and North Okanagan Regional Districts whether they planned to continue funding the program for the next three years funding was provided through Regional Grant In Aid funding for this year.

47 AGENDA ITEM # 6.D. Agenda No: Mtg. Date: TO: FROM: Regional Board Mary Jane Drouin Manager Corporate Services Regional Board Report DATE: October 7, 2013 SUBJECT: RDCO Starling Control Program Service Area Establishment Bylaw Purpose: To approve on-going support of the BC Grapegrowers Association Starling Control Program. Executive Summary: The Regional Board in 2010 approved 3-year support ( ) to the BC Grapegrowers Association for funding of a Starling Control Program and at that time a Starling Control Program Establishment Bylaw for a 3-year period was approved. Support for the program was contingent upon both the North Okanagan (NORD) and Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Regional Districts providing $25,000 in funding as well. In 2013, it wasn t possible to confirm continuing support from NORD or RDOS and adopt another bylaw before the RDCO s budget was approved in March 2013, therefore the Board agreed to fund the Starling Program in 2013 through its regional grant in aid program. Staff has confirmed NORD & RDOS continued support of the Starling program and RDCO is now able to move forward with a new 3-year establishment bylaw. The participating partners in the establishment bylaw are the City of Kelowna, District of Peachland and District of Lake Country. Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas will fund their portion through their electoral area grant in aid, due to the need for either a referendum, alternative approval process or petition to receive approval from the Province. As the annual funding provided for this service by the electoral areas is minimal and the cost to complete the above approvals would be higher than the grant itself, the funding for the program is provided through the electoral area grant in aid. The District of West Kelowna has chosen not to participate in the establishment bylaw but has committed to provide their portion of the $25,000 in funding directly to the BC Grapegrowers Association. The apportionment of funding provided in 2013 was as follows: Kelowna - $17,619; Lake Country - $1,610; Peachland - $200; Central Okanagan West - $564; and Central Okanagan East - $458. Cost sharing is on the basis of assessed values by area.
