May 1, 2018 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT ON REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00648 2970 BANK ROAD OWNERS/APPLICANTS: GREGORY FILEK AND THOMAS WALSH PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from RT-2 (Two Family Residential-2) to RT-1 (Two Family Residential-1) to permit subdivision of one lot into two lots for residential use. SUMMARY The subject property is located at 2970 Bank Road in Westsyde, is zoned RT-2, and is 944 m 2 in area. The property fronts the intersection of Bank Road and PineWynd Place. The applicants are proposing to subdivide the property into two lots that are each approximately 472 m 2 in order to construct a new single-family dwelling on each lot. The property s former dwelling and accessory buildings were demolished following a significant structural fire. The existing RT-2 zoning designation requires a minimum lot area of 650 m 2 for a single-family dwelling; therefore, a rezoning is required in order to permit the construction of two single-family dwellings, each with a secondary suite. The existing zoning allows for a two-family dwelling on the property without having to rezone, as there is ample lot area and frontage on Bank Road. The applicants state that the reason for the rezoning is to facilitate the redevelopment of the property in a manner that will garner a higher market value and integrate more sensitively into the neighbourhood when compared to constructing a new two-family dwelling. The Westsyde Neighbourhood Plan supports rezoning to permit subdivision into higher density single-family residential lots if the minimum lot size is greater than 464 m². It should also be noted that the minimum lot area in the proposed RT-1 zone is 557 m 2 for a two-family dwelling, which means the new 472 m² lots, as proposed, will not be large enough to construct a two-family dwelling on either lot. As a result, the proposed development will be limited to a single-family dwelling with a secondary suite on each lot. The surrounding neighbourhood is zoned RT-2 with a mix of existing single- and two-family development, which suggests a transition toward diversified housing types in this area. In addition, there is a mix of lot sizes along this portion of Bank Road, ranging from 470 m 2 to larger than 4,000 m 2. Therefore, the development resulting from this rezoning is not anticipated to negatively affect existing neighbourhood character as the density and housing type are compatible with surrounding development.

REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00648 May 1, 2018 Page 2 KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan 2017, as part of a vision toward long-term sustainability, encourages compact urban form and increased density in order to conserve land. The subject property is designated as an Urban Residential Neighbourhood, where residential infill on smaller lots are supported when deemed appropriate to existing services and neighbourhood character. In addition to basic services, the subject property is within walking distances to schools, transit, parks, and commercial services. Given that the Public Hearing process provides an opportunity for the public to provide input on the application, the Development, Engineering, and Sustainability Department supports the application and advises Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.

May 8, 2018 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT ON REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00647 725 YORK AVENUE OWNER: 1151030 BC LTD. APPLICANT: GRANITE DEVELOPMENTS INC. PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from P-2 (Churches) to RM-2 (Multiple Family - Medium Density) on a site-specific basis to allow a 20-unit, three-storey apartment building. SUMMARY The subject property is located on the south side of York Avenue across the street from Bert Edwards Science and Technology School in North Kamloops. The property is a double-fronting lot that backs onto Courtney Crescent, is 2,323 m 2 in area, and is zoned P-2. The property currently contains an institutional building that was previously occupied by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and is currently occupied by a commercial daycare. The applicant wishes to rezone the property to RM-2 on a site-specific basis and demolish the existing building to allow a 20-unit, three-storey apartment building. KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan encourages the development of compact urban form and walkable neighbourhoods with convenient access to transit and daily needs. The property is designated Urban in KAMPLAN. KAMPLAN s goals for Urban development include supporting diverse housing types where appropriate to the existing form and character of the neighbourhood and supporting infill to efficiently use municipal services. The maximum density generally supported in Urban areas is 125 units/ha. The application is consistent with KAMPLAN as it fills a market niche for one- and two-bedroom apartments in an existing serviced area that is close to transit and amenities. Specifically, the property is situated across the street from a school, 200 m from a bus stop, 110 m from a commercial area, 160 m from a neighbourhood pub, and 400 m from the Rivers Trail. The maximum density permitted under the RM-2 zone is 75 units/ha, which would permit up to 17 units. The applicant is applying to amend the RM-2 zone on a site-specific basis to allow 86.1 units/ha to permit 20 units. This density is well within the maximum 125 units/ha recommended for Urban-designated areas. As all multi-family development is subject to the Multi-family Development Permit Area Guidelines, a Development Permit will be required prior to construction of the proposed apartment building. As the applicant does not wish to undertake the detailed level of design required for a Development Permit without the assurance that zoning will be approved, staff requested that the applicant demonstrate that zoning requirements for building setbacks, floor area ratio, parking, landscape areas, and garbage and recycling pickup can be met for the proposed building.

REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00647 May 8, 2018 Page 2 applicant s conceptual site plan (Attachment A ) shows that these requirements can be met. To ensure that the building is compatible with the scale of the neighbourhood, staff recommend that approval of the rezoning application be subject to the registration of a restrictive covenant limiting the height of the proposed building to three storeys, as the proposed RM-2 zone would permit four storeys. All technical and servicing requirements will be addressed through the Development Permit and Building Permit approval processes. This rezoning application supports multi-family residential development that is consistent with the goals and policies of KAMPLAN. As the Public Hearing provides an opportunity for neighbourhood residents to express their views to Council, staff advise Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation. RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize: a) that Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 5-1-2882 (Attachment B ) be introduced and read a first and second time b) a Public Hearing to consider Bylaw No. 5-1-2882 Note: The above noted bylaw amendment will be held at third reading pending registration of a restrictive covenant limiting the height of the building to a maximum of three storeys.

May 9, 2018 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT ON REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00640 6697 BEAVER CRESCENT APPLICANT: GJERNES MANAGEMENT INCORPORATED OWNERS: THERESA KANNENBERG, LYLE KANNENBERG, AND LINDA MCRAE PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from RS-2 (Single Family Residential-2) to RS-1 (Single Family Residential-1) to permit the subdivision of one lot for residential use. SUMMARY The subject property is located at 6697 Beaver Crescent in Dallas, is zoned RS-2, and is 1,393 m 2 in area. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property to create a new lot in order to permit the construction of a single-family dwelling. The existing RS-2 zoning requires a minimum lot area of 929 m 2. The proposed subdivision would create a new lot with an area of 508 m 2 and a remnant lot with an area of 885 m 2 ; therefore, a zoning amendment is required. As the subject property is a corner lot, the proposed new lot would front and be accessed from Pat Road, while the remnant lot (and existing dwelling) would retain its frontage on and be accessed from Beaver Crescent. The dominant housing type surrounding the property is single family with a variety of lot sizes. The proposed remainder lot has an 885 m 2 lot area with 32 m of frontage, which exceeds the RS-1 zoning regulations for both lot area and frontage (Attachment B ). The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals and policies of KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan (OCP), which encourages compact urban form and walkable neighbourhoods in order to accommodate population growth and ensure the full utilization of existing service capacity. With the recent adoption of the new OCP, the land use designation of the subject property has been changed from Suburban to Urban. The Urban designation supports diverse housing types and infill development that is compatible with existing land uses to utilize existing infrastructure efficiently. Infill within the Dallas neighbourhood represents the implementation of the new OCP and new land use designations. The subject property meets the criteria for infilling within an Urban-designated area, with access to basic municipal services, low-density public and commercial services, and employment, including a transit stop (within 288 m), Dallas Elementary School (within 1,600 m), and Thompson Park (within 330 m). Given that the Public Hearing process provides an opportunity for neighbourhood residents to provide input on the application, the Development, Engineering, and Sustainability Department supports the application and advises Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.
