1 DISTRICT OF SQUAMISH REPORT TO: Council FOR: Regular PRESENTED: June 19th FILE: FROM: Planning Department SUBJECT: Bylaw No. 1911, Comprehensive Development Zone No Cleveland Avenue Block 20 Recommendation: That the District of Squamish Council give First and Second Reading to District of Squamish Zoning Bylaw No. 1342, 1995, Amendment Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 (Comprehensive Development Zone No. 37) And That a Public Hearing Date for Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 (Comprehensive Development Zone No. 37) be set for July 3 rd, 2007 at 7:30pm in the District of Squamish Council Chambers; CAO Recommendation: The CAO concurs with the Planning Department report and recommendation. K. Anema, CAO 1. Background: The District of Squamish has received an application to develop the property located at Cleveland Avenue, referred to as Block 20. The site is located between Loggers Lane and Cleveland Avenue, North of Vancouver Street and South of Main Street. The site is the current location of Pacific West Systems (Pac West) and is used for wholesaling, construction materials supply, construction oriented manufacturing, and other similar uses. The property is owned by BC Rail Properties, and is zoned Highway Commercial (C-7). This application was received on September 30 th, 2005, shortly before the Smart Growth on the Ground Concept Plan was adopted by Council. In terms of reference Policies, a large part of the project work was based on the Downtown 2000 Plan and the 2003 Update, as well as some of the draft Smartgrowth on the Ground work. Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Block Cleveland Ave. 1

2 2. Project Information: The development project proposes a multi-use, multi building development on Block 20 as follows: Project summary Parking requirement as per the Zoning Bylaw 2 storey live/work units storey townhouse units bedroom apartments bedroom apartments Ground floor live-work m 2 (5, sq ft) 11 Commercial space at grade m 2 (9, sq ft) 20 Parking: Provided = 125 stalls Required = 113 The project layout consists of six buildings ranging from one-to-four storeys, placed over a semi-underground parking structure. The site is designed to maintain commercial activity at grade in a combination of commercial/retail/service space, as well as up to eight live-work studios. Site layout is based on an open permeable concept, with full public access and extensive hard and soft landscaping between the 6 buildings. A public surface parking area is placed in the northwest corner of the site (Cleveland Ave and Main Street). This area will accommodate up to 18 cars, and is planned with decorative pavers or grass-crete. The project architects have incorporated features like electrical outlets in the parking area so that the space can host outdoor public events like the Squamish Farmers market. Smart Growth on the Ground: Smart Growth on the Ground assigns Block 20 to the Civic-Cultural-Educational (CCE) zone. While the importance of the CCE zone to Squamish is central and important to the development of the downtown, at the time the designations were assigned, Senior Staff and BCR Properties had undertaken a series of landexchange negotiations with the intent of identifying lands for the expansion of Capilano College. The SGOG process needed to finalize the Land Use Designation Map, but there was acknowledgement that in terms of BCR Properties, a redistribution of land designations would likely occur. Between September 2005, when the application was submitted, and the Spring of 2007, discussions around land exchange between BCR Properties and the District of Squamish regarding Capilano Collage have progressed so that redevelopment and redesignation of Block 20 has become supportable by Municipal Staff, and feasible for rezoning consideration. Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Block Cleveland Ave. 2

3 The replacement SGOG designation that staff have applied to the site is the Artisan Light Use Mixed Industrial category, which outlines the following: Permitted uses: Studio/manufacturing at grade Office use above grade Retail at grade (secondary use) Residential use above grade (secondary use) Intensity: Floor Space Ratio 0-14 units per acre Official Community Plan Designation: Downtown South The OCP designates this parcel in the Downtown South area, which historically was a transition zone between commercial and industrial activity, but which has consistently had residential use as well. The Downtown South designation proposes: a mixture of light and service industrial uses and mixed uses involving commercial and residential components. Affordable Housing and Amenity Contribution: Although there was no existing Affordable Housing Policy at the time this application was submitted, the applicants were made aware of a Council expectation that some form of Affordable Housing, and Amenity contribution would be assessed as part of the application package. Over the past 15 months, Staff and the applicants have negotiated the following contributions: Affordable Housing 10% of the residential gross area to be allocated towards resident restricted units; The allocation will consist of a range of unit types; Units will be delivered at 90% of market value, and at no less than cost; Units will be available to eligible purchasers (determined by the District) Value increase in the restricted units would be tied to Core Consumer Price Index Amenity Contribution: In exchange for an added density of 0.39 FAR the following amenities will be provided: 1,500 sq ft (139.5 m 2 ) of at-grade commercial space dedicated to the District of Squamish at the northeast corner of the site for non-profit use such as an art gallery or a day care; a dedicated multi-use exterior space on the northwest corner of the site for Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Block Cleveland Ave. 3

4 uses such as the weekend Farmers Market, or 18 green-surface public parking stalls. 5. Department Comments: Staff support the proposed development. It achieves a number of municipal goals including densification of the downtown, municipal amenities including an outdoor market/public parking space, an indoor civic amenity area and an affordable housing component. The development includes commercial and retail space at grade, with a range of housing units throughout the development and the development has been planned with adequate provision of parking. The proposed development for Block 20 delivers a number of municipal goals for the downtown, and Staff support the proposed comprehensive development zone. 6. Policy Implication This development is a between policy project. It was based on policy that has since been updated by Smart Growth on the Ground. In assessing the development, BCR Properties were advised of the importance of the Civic, Cultural, Educational designation. In order to keep the development moving forward, BCR Properties and Senior staff have negotiated alternate BCR property designations, to ensure that the net requirements outlined in SGOG can be met. Staff are comfortable that rezoning this site to Comprehensive Development No. 37 will not have any negative policy implications. 7. Recommendation: That the District of Squamish Council give First and Second Reading to District of Squamish Zoning Bylaw No. 1342, 1995, Amendment Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 (Comprehensive Development Zone No. 37) And That a Public Hearing Date for Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 be set for July 3 rd, 2007; Sabina FooFat Planner Attachment A: Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Attachment B: Draft Housing Agreement, for consideration following Third Reading of Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Bylaw No. 1911, 2005 Block Cleveland Ave. 4
