Colwood Meeting Portal Colwood City of CoIwood REPORT File: RZ-16-007 and DVP-17-010 Date: 3/21/2017 To: Director of Planning From: Planner To: Planning and Land Use Committee Date: 4/4/2017 RE: 324 Goldstream Avenue — Rezoning Text Amendment and Development Variance Permit Application 1. SUMMARY The applicant, Pacific Centre Family Services Association (PCFSA), is preparing to subdivide 324 Goldstream Avenue in order to support the development of an affordable housing complex with 104 units by the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). Accordingly, an application for a zoning text amendment for the property located at 324 Goldstream Avenue has been requested to delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions (CACs), include Attached Housing to the list of permitted uses, remove the commercial requirement, and minor administrative changes. Further to this, GVHS is seeking relaxations to the front yard setback, to the side yard setback, and to delete the requirement for sloped roofs. GVHS is also requesting financial support from the City of Colwood with regard to affordable housing; the request for financial support beyond what is available within the Affordable Housing Reserve Fund may be challenging given Colwood's existing tax base. This application is being presented to the Committee for a recommendation to Council concerning a rezoning text amendment and a development variance permit application. 2.

The applicant has indicated that this zoning text amendment and Development Variance Permit application is to facilitate the desired development conditions for the Greater Victoria Housing Society prior to subdivision and transfer of ownership. Please refer to Appendix "A" for the location plan and refer to Appendix "B" for the subdivision plan which reflects Area "1", the original parcel and Area "2", the proposed parcel which the GVHS housing project will be located. The following amendments to the C8A Zone are requested: a) Include "attached housing" to the list of permitted uses; b) Delete the requirement for Community Amenity Contributions; and c) Delete the commercial space requirement for buildings not fronting Goldstream Avenue; and d) Minor administrative changes to address Area "1" and Area "2" of the subject site.

BACKGROUND 3.1 Site Description 324 Goldstream Avenue is approximately 8,130 square metres in area. Phase 1 includes a two storey Wellness Centre above a concrete parking structure and is currently under construction. To the east of the subject property is the Colwood Dental Group and to the west is a 37 unit apartment building. The Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island is located to the north of the subject property at 345 Wale Road. Located across from the subject property on the south side of Goldstream Avenue is the Royal Colwood Golf Course. 324 Goldstream Avenue is located on the #50 bus route which provides connections to Langford and downtown Victoria. The applicants have incorporated the road cross section for Goldstream Avenue in the Transportation Master Plan into the proposed offsite plans for sidewalk, on-street parking, and boulevards for the Wellness Centre. 3.2 Official Community Plan (OCP) The subject site is located within the City Centre growth area of the Official Community Plan (OCP), which aims to promote civic activities in the City Centre and maintain a regional focus. Furthermore, the City Centre designation sets a density target of 150 — 200 dwelling units per hectare (60-80 dwelling units per acre) for the edge of the centre (400— 800 m radius). C8A Zone permits a Floor Area Ratio of 2.3. 3.3 Compliance with the Regional Growth Strategy The subject property is located in an area of Colwood that is designated within the Regional Urban Containment and Servicing Policy Area by the Capital Regional District Regional Growth Strategy (RGS). Section 1.1 (Keep Urban Settlement Compact) of the RGS states that: this area includes lands, at the date of the adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy bylaw, designated in official community plans primarily for urban development (including attached housing, detaches and duplex housing, commercial, industrial, and large scale institutional and utility designations). The Regional Growth Strategy proposes that the majority of future development that requires urban sanitary sewer and water services take place within this designated area. Therefore, the proposed amendments would comply with the RGS. Page 2 of 9 RZ-16-007 and DVP-17-010 324 Goldstream Avenue 3.4 Zoning 324 Goldstream Avenue is zoned Towncentre Mixed Use A (C8A) Zone. The subject property is the only parcel with C8A zoning in Colwood. The C8A Zone includes a Comprehensive Development component that is triggered for a development having more than three apartment units. Phase 1 for a Wellness Centre did not trigger the Comprehensive Development amenity contribution conditions in the C8A Zone as apartments were not considered. 3.5 Development Permit Areas The proposed development will be subject to a form and character development permit in accordance with the 'Centres' Guidelines in Section 20.0 and the 'General Multi-family and Commercial' Guidelines in Section 19.0 of the Official Community Plan. GVHS has provided massing drawings that will form the basis of a Development Permit application; please refer to Appendix "C". 3.6 Registered Encumbrances 3.6.1 Restrictive Covenant — EJ127412 This covenant, granted to the City of Colwood, provides a statutory right-of-way for public access over a portion of the Lands. Implications: See Section 3.6.2 for implications. 3.6.2 Restrictive Covenant— EX120791 This covenant, granted to the City of Colwood, provides a statutory right-of-way for public access over a portion of the Lands. Implications: The applicant is providing a statutory right-of-way over the lands for public access. The applicant has agreed to provide a 4.5 metre wide trail right of way along the eastern portion of the property for future connections to the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. 3.7 Building Standards All building plans on the subject properties are to be in accordance with the British Columbia Building Code and the City of Colwood Building Bylaw. Preference is given to a standard that is above the British Columbia Building Code which will help Colwood meet their energy efficiency targets. The applicant has indicated they will support a higher building code standard to meet the Passive Building Standard. Greater Victoria Housing Society has also requested assistance from the City's Affordable Housing Fund to support the costs associated with passive design. If built to Passive Standards, the GVHS project will be the largest passive designed building in Canada. Staff encourage passive house standards and recommend that Council consider requiring that at minimum the project meet EnerGuide 84 or current Building Code Standard, whichever is more stringent, to support attainment of the City of Colwood's energy efficiency and OCP greenhouse gas emission targets. Council may wish to include a condition of rezoning that the proposed building meets EnerGuide 84 standards or similar whichever is more stringent, to the satisfaction of the City of Colwood. 3.8 Public Transit The subject site is serviced by transit which provides connections throughout the Westshore and to downtown Victoria. Bus #50 to Victoria or to Sooke has stops in front of the subject property and departs every 10 minutes throughout the day. It is approximately a 35-minute trip to downtown Victoria and is approximately a 55- minute trip to Sooke. Bus #61 runs during the weekday mornings with seven trips available in the morning rush hour and 9 trips available during the evening rush hour. The nearest stop is located at Island Highway and Ocean Boulevard. Page 3 of 9 RZ-16-007 and DVP-17-010 324 Goldstream Avenue 3.9 Parking The applicant has applied for a Development Variance Permit (DVP) to relax the off-street parking standards in Section 7.5D.11 of the Land Use Bylaw No. 151 for Multi-family residential from 1.4 spaces per dwelling unit to 0.76 spaces per dwelling unit.

  • Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia
    Status of the Golden Paintbrush in British Columbia by Michael Ryan and George W. Douglas Wildlife Bulletin No. B-91 March 1999 British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, has a bounty of biological diversity. British Columbia’s snowclad peaks, rain-drenched forests, arid grasslands, all sizes of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and a long and rugged coast provide habitats for more species of living organisms than are found anywhere else in Canada. However, this very diversity means that there is much to be discovered about these organisms — their distribution, abundance, habitat requirements, and interrelationships with their environment. Increasing our knowledge of this biodiversity will help us with the complex task of sustainably managing our land and waters. In 1992, the Provincial Government initiated a co-operative biodiversity research program with funding from the Corporate Resource Inventory Initia- tive, the British Columbia Ministries of Forests (Research Branch), Environment, Lands, and Parks (Wildlife and Habitat Protection Branches), and Tourism and Culture (Royal B.C. Museum); and the Forest Resource Develop- ment Agreement (FRDA II). In 1996, funding from Forest Renewal BC (FRBC) was received for a biodiversity research extension proposal. One goal of the original research program, and more recently the FRBC extension project, is to extend information to scientists, resource managers, and the public through biodiversity publications. These publications are intended to increase awareness and understanding of biodiversity, promote the concepts and importance of conserving biodiversity, and communicate provincial government initiatives related to biodiversity. We hope that they will be used as tools for the conservation of British Columbia’s rich, living legacy.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.
