ANALYSIS:
-2-
2. Council may support the rezoning of the subject property subject to conditions that vary
from those recommended by staff.
A. Gommittee/Board Recommendations:
The Advisory Planning Board (APB) at their January 12,2010 meeting passed the
following resolution:
B. Rationale:
'THAT the Advisory Planning Board recommends Council support the
application submitted by Tavistock Properties Ltd. for a portion of Lot A,
Plan Kap628O7, D.L. 298, ODYD, (Tavistock Road) in order to rezone the
subject property from C6 - Village Commercial to HR 2 - Hillside
Residential Multi-Family for the purpose of construction a multi family
development, as presented, subject to the approval of the Bella Vista plan
by Council."
Staff support the rezoning application for the following reasons:
a) The proposed Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan designation for the subject
property is Hillside Residential Multi-Family. The proposed rezoning to HR2 -
Hillside Residential Multi-Family would conform to the proposed Neighbourhood
Plan.
b) The development of the property is subject to the Hillside Guidelines and
Environmental Management Area Strategy. The proposed development area
meets the requirements of the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental
Management Area Strategy. Both the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental
Management Area Strategy requirements would also apply during subdivision
application review, and would include a review of detailed habitat reporting,
infrastructure and site grading plans,
c) ln order to ensure the development area is clearly identified and to ensure areas
not designated for development are adequately protected, the owner is to register
a covenant that delineates areas for development from those that are to remain
undisturbed.
d) A development agreement for the upgrades to Tronson Road and Tavistock Road
would be required. The development agreement may also include upgrades to
services. Additional engineering design and review would be required in order to
determine if service upgrades are required'
e) The proposed development does not include surface parking. With the exception of
three visitor parking stalls, all of the development parking has been located
beneath the buildings.
