DISCUSSION Context 1. The proposed rezoning involves seven single family lots along Auguston Parkway North and is located in the northwest corner of the Urban Development Boundary in the Auguston Neighbourhood (see Figures 1 and 2). Official Community Plan (OCP) 2. The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the property Urban 4 Detached (see Figure 3). The purpose of the Urban 4 Detached land use category is to enable low density single detached housing in neighbourhoods, including single detached dwellings with accessory secondary suites and ground orientated duplexes. 3. As identified in Part 2 of the OCP, secondary suites are supported in single detached dwellings, subject to the following criteria: Not be on a cul-de-sac bulb; Not be in a bare land strata (except where road infrastructure meets City bylaw standards); Have a minimum frontage of 12.0m; Have a minimum lot size of 400m 2 ; and Be located on a Collector or Local road. 4. The proposed development is consistent with the Urban 4 Detached designation, meets the above policies for secondary suites and meets the intent of broader OCP objectives, as follows: Zoning and Density Support diverse housing types for a variety of household sizes, incomes, tenures, and preferences (2.1); and Support mixed affordable housing options which can serve as mortgage helpers for owners while providing affordable options for renters or extended family members (2.2). 5. The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject properties from Compact Lot Residential Zone (RS6) to Residential Zone (RS5) to accommodate secondary suites and additional floor area on all seven lots (see Figure 4). Package Pg. 7

8 Report No. PDS Page 4 of 6 6. The current zoning RS6 allows a maximum Floor Area of 273m 2 for lots greater 420m 2. The following table shows a summary of the permitted FSR on each lot with the current zoning (RS6) as well as the increase in total Floor Area as per the proposed RS5 Zone. The additional permitted floor area ranges from approximately 1m 2 to 6m 2 (10ft 2 to 64ft 2 ) for each of the lots, which vary slightly in size. Lot Existing Lot Size Maximum Gross Area in RS6 Zone for lots greater than 420m 2 Gross Floor Area RS5 Zone Difference 4393 Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m Auguston Parkway N.: m m m m 2 Parking 7. The Zoning Bylaw requires the provision of two off-street parking spaces for each Single Detached Dwelling as well as one additional parking space for a secondary suite on the proposed lots. Parking provisions will be confirmed with future Building Permits on the proposed development. Affordable Housing Strategy 8. The Affordable Housing Strategy, (endorsed by Council November 7, 2011) similar to the OCP objectives and policies, encourages the development of complete, connected and livable neighbourhoods with diverse housing types (Objective 4). With policies that support affordable housing development close to transit, jobs and services and the creation of a variety of housing types to suit different needs related to household type, tenure and income. The applicant's proposal is consistent with this policy. Parks/Tree Protection 9. All seven lots are cleared of trees and, therefore the applicant did not submit an arborist report. 10. Through the interdepartmental review of the proposed development, Parks Recreation and Culture (PRC) has requested a community amenity contribution of $225 per unit. Natural Environment Development Permit 11. Six of the seven lots lie within the Natural Environment Development Permit (NEDP) Area; however, covenants have been registered on the property titles, protecting the natural environment area and as such the subject properties are exempt from an NEDP. Package Pg. 8

9 Report No. PDS Page 5 of 6 Site Development Considerations 12. Works and Services requirements have been addressed during a recently completed subdivision (S15-048) associated with the subject properties. The proposed development meets the Works and Services set out in the City s Development Agreement Bylaw for the proposed land use and as such a Development Agreement is not required in conjunction with this application. 13. Through the interdepartmental review of the proposed development, Transportation Engineering has requested a community amenity contribution of $400 per dwelling unit for future transit and cycling infrastructure in support of the proposed rezoning, given that the proposed application includes the addition of suites not previously contemplated within the prior development applications when the subject lots were originally developed. 14. In addition to the above comments, the developer is responsible to adhere to all other legislation, which may apply to the land, including: (a) complying with all applicable City bylaws, such as Official Community Plan, 2016, Development Bylaw, 2011, Tree Protection Bylaw, 2010, Building Bylaw, 2003, Sign Bylaw, 2001, Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw, 2010, and Development Cost Charges Imposition Bylaw administered by the City; and (b) obtaining all other necessary approvals and permits on such terms as they may be issued, including but not limited to a development permit, tree removal permit, subdivision approval, building permit, soil removal/deposit permit, Ministry of Health permit, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure approval and Ministry of Environment approval. Communication Plan If the zoning amendment bylaw is supported by Council, Bylaw No , cited as Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 2014, Amendment Bylaw No. 173 will proceed to a Regular Meeting of Council, where it will be considered for 1 st and 2 nd readings. If supported by Council, the Rezoning Bylaw will proceed to a Public Hearing. The City will notify in writing the owners and occupiers of land within a 100 meter radius of the property and provide Council with copies of any feedback that is received. The City received confirmation on January 8, 2018, that the applicant installed the required development sign in accordance with the Development Application Procedures Bylaw, which requires the signage to be installed a minimum of three (3) weeks in advance of Council s consideration of the application. FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATION No financial plan implications are anticipated. Any capital works implications arising from this application have been addressed through the rezoning process.

10 Report No. PDS Page 6 of 6 IMPACTS ON COUNCIL POLICIES, STRATEGIC PLAN AND/OR COUNCIL DIRECTION The proposal meets the goals and objectives identified in the OCP and Affordable Housing Strategy. Council s Strategic Plan identifies four cornerstones: vibrant economy, complete community, fiscal discipline and organizational alignment. The proposal is consistent with the complete community cornerstone by permitting new residential development in existing neighbourhoods, and by allowing secondary suites which provides affordable housing options for the community. SUBSTANTIATION OF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommend support for the proposed rezoning of the seven (7) existing lots from RS6 to RS5 to accommodate secondary suites and additional floor area, given that the proposed development is consistent with the Urban 4 Detached land use designation and is in keeping with the broad objectives of the OCP that encourages densification within the Urban Development Boundary.
