Official Community Plan Bylaw ... Page 5 of 82 Bylaw No. 1750 pertaining to the subject portion of Lot A, District Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558. PURPOSE The proposed bylaw amendment is to: 1. Amend Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2231 by re-designating a portion of Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558 from Natural Open Space to Neighbourhood Residential; and 2. Amend Zoning Bylaw No. 1750 by rezoning a portion of Lot 1, District Lot 4589, Kootenay District, Plan NEP64864, Except Plans NEP65011, NEP66454, EPP17633, EPP44732, EPP44190 and EPP62558 from P2 – Parks and Open Space to RMH – Manufactured Home Residential. An estimation of the area to which these bylaws would apply is shown in attachment 1. In a letter to the City (Attachment 2) the applicant proposes to rezone and subdivide the subject property for the placement of manufactured homes that “will provide the opportunity for viable, affordable, infill housing in Fernie”. BACKGROUND The original application, received on May 13, 2016 was to amend the OCP and Zoning bylaws to allow for a development similar to the current proposal, which would include manufactured homes (RMH). However, the applicant later changed their application to amend the OCP and Zoning bylaws for a development that would include single-family dwelling units (R1B). On June 29, 2017, City Staff received a final application, changing the proposal back to the original OCP and Zoning amendments. As of July 6, 2017, City Staff has not received a complete application including the total area to be included in the proposed bylaw amendments. As such, approval of the application, and first and second reading of the Bylaws cannot occur until a complete application is received.
