The subdivision has been found technically feasible by the Subdivision Advisory Committee (SAC), and includes: Creation of six (6) lots meeting the minimum 400m^ lot size and minimum 12.0 metre lot width requirements of the RS-8 zone. The majority of these lots will be accessed from the new local road meeting Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw local street standards (174 m wide right-of-way (RoW) with an 8.5 m pavement width). Parking would be permitted on both sides of this road and driveway letdowns will be paired to maximize available on-street parking. One lot will have direct access to Rocklin Street which will be constructed to a Collector Street standard (ultimate 23 3 m wide RoW with.a minimum 11.0 m pavement width). Creation of one (l) approximately 356m^ (3,834ft^) irregular shaped P-5 Special Park zoned lot under the BC Hydro RoW. The owner is proposi ng to transfer this lot within the BC Hydro RoW to City ownership without compensation. While the majority of this lot contains the on-site watercourse to be protected, it may form part of a future recreational/ pedestrian pathway system to be located within the existing BC Hydro RoW corridor in the Baycrest area; Protection of the on-site watercourse and its associated riparian area utilizing permanent fencing and the registration of a restrictive covenant on the three (3) affected lots. In addition, permanent fencing and small scale information signage will be required to be installed, and a portion of the SPEA located at the rear yards of three (3) proposed lots will require a no-disturbance restrictive covenant to be registered at the time of subdivision approval. These lots have been confirmed to accommodate adequate building envelopes outside of the SPEA boundaries. File #: / RZ/l Doc#: V1

4 Page 3 March 31, 2015 Discussion/Analysis: Official Community Pian (OCR) The subject property is situated within the Partington Creek Neighbourhood Plan (PCNP) area and contains two land use designations - Baycrest Low Density Residential and Environmentally Sensitive Area (Attachment 2). The proposed rezoningto RS-8 Large Village Single-family Residential and P-5 Special Park is consistent with the current PCNP land use designations and is supported by staff as it responds to a number of planning and OCP policies and objectives, including the following: accommodates Large Village Single-family residential development in compliance with the PCNP; subdivision supports future development of lands to the west, through the provision of a new local road going west that will ultimately connect to Mitchell Street and Baycrest Avenue; protects the environmentally sensitive area adjacent to the on-site watercourse; secures City ownership of lands under the BC Hydro RoW for a possible future recreational/pedestrian pathway system; and the proposed development is of a modest size that does not directly impact any planned school sites. Environmental Protection Measures The applicant engaged a qualified environmentarprofessional (OEP) to assess the existing watercourse located on the subject property based on the riparian areas regulation (RAR) assessment The RAR report, which has been filed and accepted by the Provincial Ministry of Environment (MOE), recommends a 10 metre wide Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) with protective chain link fencing on each side of the vyatercourse and the provision small scale information signage. The applicant proposes to transfer a portion of the SPEA and the area occupied by the BC Hydro right-of-way into City ownership at the time of subdivision approval. In addition, the balance of the SPEA will be secured through the registration of a restrictive covenant on affected lots, and will be outlined in a watercourse protection Development Permit to be processed should the, rezoning application be approved by Council. Five Percent (5%) ParklancI Provisions Under Section 941 of the Loco/Covernme/ltAcf, local governments can require persons subdividing land to provide 5% of the land for parkland purposes or provide money equivalent to 5% of the market value. Council has delegated to the City Subdivision Approving Officer(s) the authority to administer the selection of the 5% parkland dedication or 5% money option. In the case of this application, the OCP does not show active parkland to be acquired at this location and Parks, Recreation & Culture Services staff concurs that no parkland dedication is required. As such, where parkland is not anticipated within the subject property as per the OCP, the City Subdivision Approving Officer will be recommending that the 5% money option under Section 941 of the Local File#: / RZ/l Doc#; vl

5 Page 4 March 31, 2015 Discussion/Analysis: cont'd/ Five Percent (5%) Parkland Provisions cont'd/ Government Act be applied, utilizing an independent market appraisal. The funds collected will be placed in a reserve to fund parkland elsewhere in the City identified for acquisition. Bylaw No. 4555, 2015 Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 4555, 2015 (Attachment 4) has been prepared for Council's consideration. Adoption of this Bylaw would rezone the areas outlined in black as noted. Financiallmplications: There are no immediate financial impacts associated with this report, though the proposed subdivision will generate development cost charge funds for each of the additional lots to be created. This application will also generate funds from the required 5% parkland provisions under Section 941 of the/.ocfl/ Government Act. Conclusion: Staff supports the proposed application for the following reasons: The proposed rezoning to RS-8 Large Village Single-family Residential and P-5 Special Park is consistent with the OCR; The associated subdivision has been found technically feasible by the SAC; and The on-site watercourse and its associated riparian area will be protected. Staff therefore recommends that Council give first reading to Bylaw No. 4555, 2015 and refer this bylaw to a Public Hearing. J.L MclntVre, MClP, RPP TH/lmc/ms Attachments: 1.
