THAT Bylaw No. 2628-2016, cited as "Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 2014, Amendment Bylaw No. 95", which rezones the property covered under application 3360-20/PRJ16-051 from Country Residential Zone (CR) to Compact Lot Residential Zone (RS6), be given first and second readings at the next Regular Meeting of Council, and advanced to an upcoming Public Hearing; 2. THAT prior to adoption of Bylaw No. 2628-2016, cited as "Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 2014, Amendment Bylaw No. 95'', the following conditions be satisfied: (a) entering into a development agreement with the City to secure required road and utility upgrades and extensions in accordance with Development Bylaw No. 2070-2011 , including the provision of a 1.25m road dedication along the full length of the Sumas Mountain Road frontage; (b) registering all easements and statutory right-of-ways necessary to provide 4585 and 4573 Sumas Mountain Road with sanitary services to accommodate development permitted by the Urban 4 - Detached land use designation as identified in the 2016 OCP to the satisfaction of the General Manager, Engineering and Regional Utilities; and (c) issues of funding for items not budgeted by the City being resolved; and 3. THAT the Mayor and Corporate Officer be authorized to execute all documents related to this matter SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE The applicant has proposed to rezone the subject property from Country Residential (CR) to Compact Lot Residential (RS6). If approved, this application will allow the applicant to proceed with a 20 lot bare land strata single family residential subdivision. Report No. PDS 120-202016 Page 2 of 7 BACKGROUND Proposal: The applicant has proposed to rezone the subject property from CR to RS6 to allow a 20 lot bare land strata single family residential subdivision. Applicant: Bynett Construction Inc. (Mr. Dan Fisher) Owner: Deborah and George Keys Legal Description: Lot D Section 31 Township 19 New Westminster District Plan 70640 OCP Designation: Urban 4 - Detached Existing Zoning: Country Residential (CR) Proposed Zoning Site Area: 1.01 ha (2.49 acres) Site Description: The subject property is a gently sloping large lot with an existing single family home. A number of trees are located around the perimeter of the property and are scattered sparing throughout the remainder of the site. Surrounding Uses: N: Single Family Residential (zoned RS3-A) S: Large Lot Single Family Residential (zoned CR) E: Sumas Mountain Road beyond which is Large Lot Single Family (zoned RR) W: Large Lot Single Family Residential (zoned CR) DISCUSSION Official Community Plan (OCP) I Rezoning Proposal 1. The lands are designated Urban 4 - Detached in the Official Community Plan (OCP) (see Figure 3). The Urban 4 - Detached designation accommodates single detached housing at densities up to a maximum of 25 units per hectare based on Net Land Area. 2. Under the "Density and Development Calculations" of the OCP, the Net Land Area is determined by removing all lands with slopes in excess of 30%, streams and regional utility right-of-ways. In this case, approximately 116m2 of the subject property is identified as being in excess of 30% slopes (red areas shown of Figure 5). As such, the density calculation for the subject property as determined by the OCP is as follows: Gross Site Area of the Subject property= 1.01 ha 2 Area in excess of 30% slope= 0.0116 ha (116m ) Net Site Area= 0.998 ha Net Site Area of 0.998 ha x 25 units per hectare = 24.95 units Report No. PDS 120-202016 Page 3 of 7 Given the OCP contains a rounding prov1s1on that states when dealing with decimals units per hectare are rounded to the nearest whole number, the maximum permitted density on the subject property is 25 units. Based on calculation above, the proposal to rezone the subject property from Country Residential (CR) to Compact Residential (RS6) to allow for a 20 lot bare land strata single family development is consistent with the OCP (see Figures 3 and 6). 3. Furthermore, staff is of the opinion that the proposed development is consistent and compatible with other recent residential developments located along the west side of Sumas Mountain Road in this area including at 4595 Sumas Mountain Road which is under the final phase of house construction as a 26-lot bare land strata single family residential development. 4. The lands are further designated as "New Neighbourhoods". Within the "New Neighbourhoods" designation, development will be phased in a manner to ensure details relating to infrastructure, environment, and land uses can be coordinated and implemented in a cost efficient matter. Under the "New Neighbourhoods" designation, new developments which result in higher densities than the current zoning permits are not supported until the completion of a neighbourhood plan by the City. The current OCP was adopted on June 2?1h, 2016 which saw the implementation of the "New Neighbourhoods" designation. Council endorsed a transition policy to address in-stream applications which allows the current proposal to proceed without the need for a neighbourhood plan. Any applications under the "New Neighbourhoods" designation that were received after April 41h, 2016 will be required to be in compliance with a neighbourhood plan created by the City prior to rezoning consideration. 5. As this proposal is consistent with the Urban 4 - Detached designation and is exempt from requiring a neighbourhood plan based on the existing transitional policy, staff has no concerns with the proposed rezoning. Natural Areas Development Permit 6. A portion of the subject property lies within a Natural Environment Development Permit Area (NEDP) (see Figure 4). The purpose of these NEDP area is provide for and accommodate the use of the land for the intended purpose while also protecting and enhancing the City's natural areas; preventing the introduction and spread of invasive species; and, protecting water quality and quantity. The guidelines also establish exemptions from completing a Development Permit where a proponent provides satisfactory information to the City that clearly demonstrates that the proposed activity will not be in conflict with the guidelines. 7. The applicant has submitted a report prepared by Scott Resource Services dated April 8, 2016 that concludes that the site has low wildlife values and the proposed development is not anticipated to impact existing wildlife and wildlife features on or adjacent to the subject property (see Attachment A). The City's environmental coordinators have reviewed the report and concur with the conclusions. Therefore a NEDP is not required to proceed with the proposed development and the recommendations identified within the Environmental Report will be implemented in conjunction with existing City bylaws and/or through the subdivision process. Report No. PDS 120-202016 Page 4 of 7 Steep Slopes Development Permit 8. As per the OCP, development on lands greater than 20% and/or development within 20m of slopes that are 20% or greater are defined as a Development Permit Area (see Figure 5). The Steep Slopes Development Permit Guidelines also establishes an exemption where the proposed development is demonstrated to not be in conflict with the Development Permit Guidelines. Staff will review the need for a Steep Slope Development Permit and the geotechnical conditions of the site in greater detail with the subdivision application. If required, the Development Permit will be completed by staff and issued by the Director of Planning or designate in accordance with the Development Application Procedures Bylaw, 2016 prior to any subdivision approval. Staff notes that at this time given the very limited extent of the steep slopes on the subject property that a Development Permit is not anticipated. Tree Removal I Retention 9. An Arborist report prepared by Central Valley Arborist Consulting dated August 18, 2016 was submitted by the applicant (see Attachment B). A total of 39 trees greater than 20cm Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) are identified on the property and are subject to the City's Tree Protection Bylaw. According to the Arborist's recommendations, 15 trees are identified to be removed as they are either located within the proposed building envelopes and the proposed strata road allowance or are in poor health (see Figure 7). A total of 24 trees are proposed to remain. The 2016 OCP broadly supports the retention of existing mature trees, where possible, as part of the Improve Natural and Build Systems objectives. Prior to removal of the trees, the applicant will need to obtain a tree cutting permit issued by the City's Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department. As part of the permit process, security or cash-in-lieu to provide for replacement trees at a ratio of 2: 1 for all trees to be removed with a size of 20- 30cm DBH and 3: 1 for all trees removed greater than 30cm DBH will be obtained in accordance with the Bylaw. At this time, based on the Central Valley Arborist Consulting report and the documented tree health, planning staff estimate that 25 replacement trees will be required (generally replacement trees are not required for trees removed that are in poor condition and/or that are hazardous). Notwithstanding, the total tree replacements will be reviewed and confirmed by the City's arborist in conjunction with the submission of a future Tree Cutting Permit. Context Plan I Future Pedestrian Connections 10. During the review process both an Engineering Servicing Strategy and overall preliminary development context plan were prepared and reviewed for the lands north of Augustan Parkway East, south of Dawson Road and west of Sumas Mountain Road (see Figure 5).

  • South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report
    Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report John Carleton, Conservation Planner John Jacobson, Geographic Information Systems Analyst 5/14/2009 South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report Introduction To inform the South Lewis County Subarea planning process, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) were consulted to analyze habitats and ecosystem processes, respectively, across the local area. The purpose of the two agencies’ work is to provide information on natural systems that will allow the planners to accommodate growth while avoiding unintended consequences, such as loss of local biodiversity, or increased flooding. This habitat report is to be incorporated as an appendix to the watershed characterization. South County Subarea The south county subarea, shown on the right, was drawn as a rectangular zone incorporating the cities of Winlock, Toledo, and Vader, plus some of the surrounding unincorporated county. As of 2008, population in the subarea was approximately 10,200. Although the three cities have concentrations of residences and businesses, most of the subarea is rural, with agriculture and residential land uses predominant, and with a significant portion of undeveloped land. Figure 1. South Lewis County Subarea The primary landform feature is a series of relatively flat terraces at increasing elevation, leading away from the Cowlitz River. Forested habitats include conifer and mixed conifer/hardwood; oak woodlands are a minor component. A major portion of the land was historically prairie, now largely converted to agricultural use, although featuring patches of remnant native vegetation. Cowlitz River and several tributaries run across the subarea.

  • Line 2 Construction, Operations and Emergency Response
    REPORT 3 Application Summary: Line 2 Construction, Operations and Emergency Response 3.1 Overview This section describes the Proposed and Alternate Routes that were assessed, and includes a summary of the planning, construction and emergency response processes that Trans Mountain proposes in their application to the NEB (referred to hereafter as the Application). Because of the broad spatial scope of Trans Mountain’s Application, SBRP is rarely mentioned in any of the documents. This section considers the regulatory requirements that Trans Mountain must meet during construction and operations, and indicates how these are likely to guide Trans Mountain’s construction and operations activities in and around SBRP. 3.2 Proposed and Alternate Routes The Proposed Route (orange) and Alternate Routes (Option A- yellow; Option B-pink) are identified in Figure 1-1. Trans Mountain’s Proposed Route enters the southeast portion of the park at the intersection of Trigg Road and 104th Avenue, and extends west adjacent to 104th Avenue to the CN rail tracks. This route would follow the east side of the tracks past Centre Creek for approximately 900 m before crossing beneath the railway tracks and the SFPR. Both Alternate Routes avoid SBRP entirely. The Option A route is located between the CN Rail Corridor and the Golden Ears Connector to the south of the park; it crosses 104th Avenue and follows the corridor between SFPR and the CN tracks. The Option B route extends along the SFPR on the southwest side of the road. 3.3 Pipeline Design and Construction 3.3.1 Guiding Legislation Trans Mountain’s proposed expansion project falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the NEB under the National Energy Board Act, the regulatory requirements of the NEB Onshore Pipeline Regulations (OPR), and the regulatory requirements of the following: Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency; Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO); Transport Canada; and Affected municipal, provincial, rail and utility authorities.

  • Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    Conserving Biodiversity: Fostering Partnerships & Preserving Life December 2010 PREFACE The Fraser Valley Conservancy (FVC) is a not for profit charitable organization located within the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. It is dedicated to placing lands in trust for our future. As such, the organization believes that the Fraser Valley is a collage of biologically diverse habitats which should be valued and protected. FVC has mandated goals to, i) protect and preserve the land and watercourses that have recognized local and regional ecological value; ii) to promote, facilitate and engage in land stewardship activities; iii) to protect, preserve and enhance habitat for native species including rare and endangered species, and; iv) to protect and preserve land of recognized local and regional historic value. www.fraservalleyconservancy.ca Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document presents a need for a strategy that outlines preservation, conservation and restoration measures to protect biodiversity in the Fraser Valley. This document describes opportunities for various existing conservation efforts to be synchronized and how current gaps in data can be filled. This process was initiated in 2009 and will provide support to current and ongoing stewardship and biodiversity actions. It is a regionally based planning and conservation initiative that will increase partnerships and collaboration between Fraser Valley stewardship groups and all levels of government. The intent is to support the work of Fraser Valley organizations in the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity and will aid in the dissemination of and access to scientific and conservation data. This information will also reveal where there are gaps in data sets that create barriers to effective biodiversity enhancement and protection (FVC 2009).
