ADJOURNMENT REGULAR OPEN COUNCIL REPORT Development Services Department For the March 14, 2022 Council Meeting DATE: March 14, 2022 File No. Z 2022-05 TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Randy Houle, Director of Development Services RE: Zoning Amendment - 1032 Rockcliffe Road RATIONALE: This application is seeking a zoning amendment from RS1 (Residential Low Density One) to RS4 (Residential Low Density Four) on a portion of Lot 1, District Lot 2450s, SDYD, Plan 26867 (1032 Rockcliffe Road), to facilitate a two-lot subdivision. OPTIONS: 1. Council may choose to support the Staff recommendation. 2. Council may choose not to support the Staff recommendation. 3. Council may choose to refer back to Staff for additional information. RECOMMENDATION: That Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1380.25 be read a third time and adopted. General: Organizational: Financial: Development Cost Charges will be applicable for the creation of an additional lot at a cost of $8,743.00. Legal/Statutory Authority: Strategic Plan: Good Governance ITEM C. - 1. Page 2 of 13 BACKGROUND: Site Context: The subject property is zoned RS1 (Residential Low Density One) and is designated by Official Community Plan 1370 as LR (Low Density Residential). A single family dwelling is constructed on the subject property. The surrounding pattern of development consists of single family development. Background & Proposal: The application is proposing to complete a two-lot subdivision on the subject property. Given that the lot width (13.9m) and size (410m2) of Proposed Lot A does not meet the minimum 15.0m width and 555.0m2 required in the RS1 zone, a rezoning to RS4 (Residential Low Density Four) is required. Regulatory Provisions: The Low Density Residential policies of the OCP state that the Town of Oliver supports these lands for single family dwellings, duplexes, secondary suites, carriage homes, accessory structures, manufactures homes, parks, institutional buildings and neighbourhood commercial uses. The proposed zoning amendment to create an additional single family lot is aligned with this designation. Development Statistics: The following table outlines the proposed development statistics on the plans submitted with the application: Provision Current RS1 Zone RS4 Zone Proposed Minimum Parcel Size 555.0m2 350.0m2 410.0m2 Minimum Parcel Width 15.0m 12.0m 13.9m Minimum Parcel Depth 27.0m 25.0m 29.5m Analysis: ITEM C. - 1. Page 3 of 13 Support Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1380.25 Staff considers the zoning amendment to allow for the proposed development represents best use of the land for the following reasons: • The residential policies of the OCP speak to prioritizing residential growth an d infill within the Town's boundaries over the extension of boundaries. • The growth management objectives of the OCP speak to supporting efficient use of land within the Town of Oliver's boundaries, including the infilling of vacant lots. The proposal converts an underutilized portion of a property into an additional lot in a desirable area, without changing the character of the neighbourhood. • Although the proposed lot size of 410m2 is less than the neighbouring lots, adequate space exists for the construction of a 2,200 ft2 single family dwelling within the required setbacks. Furthermore, the proposal is the gentlest form of densification in an established neighbourhood. For the reasons listed above, Staff recommend that Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1380.25 be given third reading and adopted. Deny/Refer Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1380.25 Council may consider that an RS4 sized lot is not compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. If this is the case, Council should deny the zoning amendment. Alternatively, Council may choose to refer the application back to Staff to work with the applic ant further. REFERRALS: The application was referred to various internal and external departments which no issues or concerns raised. PUBLIC PROCESS: Notice of the March 14, 2022 Public Hearing was mailed to residents within 100.0m of the subject property. A public notification sign was installed on the subject property and notice of the public hearing was advertised in two editions of the local print newspaper. COUNCIL REPORT/RESOLUTION HISTORY: ITEM C. - 1. Page 4 of 13 At the February 28, 2022 Regular Open Council Meeting, the following resolution was passed by Council: R-62/2022 It was MOVED and SECONDED That Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1380.25 be read a first and second time and proceed to a public hearing; and That the holding of the public hearing be scheduled for March 14, 2022; and That Staff give notice of the public hearing in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act.
