6 Public Hearing Information Package - Page 4 OVERVIEW AND STAFF COMMENTS: This report details the rezoning application to formalize a secondary dwelling unit use at the property located at th Avenue and identifies the necessary amendment to the Zoning Bylaw. Staff support the application moving forward and as such have listed the Zoning Amending Bylaw under the Bylaws for Consideration section of the agenda. Subject to Council s approval, a Public Hearing will be scheduled for April 18, SUMMARY: A rezoning application has been received from Ken and Taya Docksteader, property owners, seeking to formalize an existing secondary dwelling at th Avenue. To authorize the secondary dwelling use in the home, a rezoning of the property from Urban Residential 558 (R558) Zone to Urban Residential 558 Secondary Dwelling (R558s) Zone is required. SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The subject property is approximately 632 m 2 (6,800 ft 2 ) in size, and is located west of Grand Street and north of 10 th Avenue in the Mission Core area (Appendix 2). The property is designated Urban Residential in the District s Official Community Plan (OCP) and is zoned R558 Zone. The property is currently developed with a single family dwelling along with an existing secondary dwelling in the basement. As a secondary dwelling unit is not a permitted use in the R558 Zone, a rezoning to the R558s Zone is required. It was noted that the rezoning proposal is a voluntary legalization of an existing suite. The Bylaw Department did not receive any complaints regarding the subject property. PLANNING ANALYSIS: Official Community Plan & Zoning Bylaw Compliance: The proposed secondary suite will accommodate a floor area of up to 90 m 2 (968.8 ft 2 ). This area is in conformance with the maximum allowable floor space for a secondary suite within the Zoning Bylaw, which is 40% of the principal residence s floor space to a maximum of 90m 2. The applicant has provided a plan showing the proposed floor plan of the secondary suite. The secondary suite will meet the required separate entrance provision of the Zoning Bylaw as well as the unobstructed parking provisions of the Bylaw. The Inspection Services Division will ensure that the proposed secondary suite meets all of the BC Building Code requirements, including fire separation, during the building permit review and plan check process. The proposed rezoning conforms to Section 2.3 Housing Choice and Quality and Section 2.4 Infill Residential, which both support single family residences with secondary dwelling units such as secondary suites. The OCP also supports secondary suites as it provides affordable and rental housing within the District. Neighbourhood Character: The subject property is located within an urban residential neighbourhood comprised mostly of single family dwellings. Lands surrounding the property are all within the R558 Zone, and are designated STAFF REPORT TO COUNCIL Page 2 of 6

It is believed that the rezoning of this property to allow for a secondary suite will have little or no impact on the surrounding neighbourhood. Typically, complaints that arise from secondary suites relate to inadequate off-street parking. As noted, this proposal meets the off-street parking requirements of the Zoning Bylaw. Servicing: Municipal water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer is available on 10 th Avenue. As a result, no upgrades are required. COMMUNICATION: In accordance with Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw , the developer has posted one (1) development notification sign on the site summarizing the proposed development. Provided that a public hearing date is determined by Council: 1. The development notification sign will be modified to advertise the public hearing details (i.e., date, time and place) and a notice will be mailed to the owners and occupiers of all properties within a radius of 152 metres (500 ft.) from the development site notifying them of the public hearing details. 2. A notice of Public Hearing will be prepared in accordance with Bylaw and the Local Government Act 3. A pre-public hearing information package will be prepared to include copies of all applicable documents and is available online or at municipal hall for public viewing (in accordance with Policy LAN. 50 Pre-Public Hearing Information Packages). REFERRALS: Engineering The Engineering Department has no objection to the project as outlined in Appendix 3. REQUIREMENT(S) PRIOR TO FINAL READING Final Reading of the Zoning Amending Bylaw will be held until the following have been satisfied: 1. Any requirements resulting from Council s consideration of the Bylaw including public hearing.
