Give first reading to City of Coquitlam Zoning Amendment Bylaw No ; and 2. Refer Bylaw No. 4667, 2016 to Public Hearing. Report Purpose: This report presents a rezoning bylaw to facilitate a proposed two-lot subdivision under the RT-l Two-Family Residential zone in Southwest Coquitlam. Strategic Goal: This application pertains to the City's strategic goal of strengthening neighbourhoods by providing for an incremental increase in density and by upgrading the street and lane frontage works. Background: Site and Context The subject 954.3m^ (10,272 sq.ft.) site slopes approximately 3.5m (II.5 ft.) down from the lane (north) to Rochester Ayenue (south) and is zoned P-2 Special Institutional (Attachment 1). This property was zoned P-2 to accommodate a care facility under the Provincial Community Care Act in the late 1960's. At some point over the last decades the use of the property has changed to single-family without a formal change in zoning. The neighbouring properties include a mix of one-and two-family dwellings and are zoned RT-l Two-Family Residential (Table l and Attachment l). The subject property and the neighbouring properties are designated Neighbourhood Attached Residential (NAR) within the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan (AHrj^) (Table 1 and Attachment 2).

A concurrent subdivision application has been found technically feasible by the Subdivision Advisory Committee (SAC) (Attachment 3). Should Council support the rezoning application and the SAC subsequently recommend approval of the subdivision, the proposed development would include: the creation of two lots meeting the requirements of the RT-l zone for a one-family residential use in NAR designated areas; a single-family dwelling with one secondary suite on each proposed lot; construction ofthe rear lane to a full width standard (currently undeveloped) from Marmont Street through to the western edge ofthe subject property; vehicular access from the rear lane proposed to be constructed; and, Rochester Avenue frontage improvements including curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees, etc. Prior to the development ofthe rear lane, the City would notify adjacent property owners of the pending lane construction - to provide time for them to remove any possible encroachments and to alert them to the fact that the lane will soon be available to provide secondary access to their properties. Other Permitted Uses - RT-1 Zone, NAR Designation This application proposes a two-lot subdivision under the RT-i zone. However, this zoning would also support the development ofthe site as a single-family use, or a duplex if the subdivision was not pursued. Attachment 4 outlines the full range of uses permitted in the RT-l zone. The site is situated within the Austin Heights Neighbourhood Plan (AHNP) and is designated NAR. The proposed rezoning to RT-l is consistent with the current AHNP land use designation and neighbourhood plan policies. File #: / RZ/l Doc#: vl

Adoption of this bylaw would rezone the area outlined in black as noted. Financial Implications: There are no immediate financial impacts with this report, though the proposed subdivision will generate Development Cost Charge funds. Conclusion: Staff support the proposed rezoningfor the following reasons: The proposed development is consistent with the NAR land use designation and with the associated policy objectives of the OCR; Subdivision of the property has been found technically feasible by the SAC; The proposed development will result in off-site frontage improvements to Rochester Avenue and the development of the lane, from Marmont Street to the western edge of the subject property, to the standards of the City's Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. Staff recommends that Council give first reading to Bylaw No. 4667, 2016 and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing. ( J.L Mclnty e, MClP, RPR / KD/ms Attachments: 1.
