OPTION 2: THAT the Regional Board refuse the application as submitted. SITE CONTEXT The subject property is located south of Highway 97S just west of the junction with Stuckey Road. Much of the surrounding area consists of sectioned or half-section parcels that are in agricultural use, primarily cattle and/or hay production. The parcelled land is used for hay crop with the southernmost area consisting of bush. There is a residence Page 1 of 2 Printed on: 15-May-13 4:34:45 PM Department Head CAO Report prepared by: Ken Kalirai, Asst. Manager of Development Services
adjacent to the highway on the northern parcel. The area also is subject to some oil and gas activity. File No. 46/2013 SITE FEATURES LAND: Much of the subject property is in hay production with the remainder open scrub or forested. STRUCTURES: Single family dwelling ACCESS: Highway 97S CLI SOIL RATING: FIRE: Class 3 x. Class 3 soils have moderately severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices. Subclass x denotes soils having a limitation resulting from the cumulative effect of two or more adverse characteristics. Outside any fire protection area. COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS APPLICANT: The subject property was used by the previous owners as a gas bar with vehicle repairs, starting as Royalite Fuel in 1959, then Esso until the 1980 s.the gas pumps and underground tanks were removed and an environmental report was completed in 2008. ALR: OCP: ZONING: It is the intent of the landowner to establish on a 10 acre portion of the property, a gas bar and convenience store, restaurant, parking for trucks and R.V. s. The subject property lies entirely within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, Agricultural Land Commission approval is required. An ALR application was submitted by the applicant and was considered by Board on May 9 th, 2013.The Board authorized the application to proceed to the ALC. Pursuant to the PRRD Rural Area Official Community Plan By-law No. 1940, 2011, the property is designated Agriculture-Rural This designation does not allow commercial uses. In this designation, the principal use of land is generally limited to agriculture or those businesses directly compatible or complimentary to the agricultural industry. Therefore the proposal is inconsistent with the OCP, and hence this OCP amendment is required. The subject property is zoned A-2 (Large Agricultural Holdings Zone) within the Dawson Creek Rural Area Zoning By-law No. 479, 1986. The uses proposed by the applicant do not comply with the uses permitted in this zone. Hence this proposal is inconsistent with the zoning bylaw and therefore this rezoning application to a commercial zone is required. IMPACT ANALYSIS AGRICULTURE The proposal will reduce the agricultural potential of the northern parcel in the 10 acres proposed for non-farm use, although in essence the 10 acres proposed for inclusion will compensate for this loss. The remainder of this parcel will continue to be used for agricultural purposes. The surrounding agricultural area will not be significantly impacted by the proposal. CONTEXT: There was a gas bar in this location for a number of years although the scale of the commercial use will increase substantially compared to the previous use. It is not uncommon to find such commercial uses offering services to the travelling public adjacent to highways. POPULATION AND TRAFFIC: The proposal would not permanently increase the local population as no residences are proposed, although local temporary population numbers may fluctuate depending on the scale of the campground/r.v./truckstop use. Similarly local traffic will increase depending on the scale of the commercial activity. Page 2 of 2
