Let’s Explore Options for Caulfeild’s Future Zoning

Have your say! Share your input regarding how to address Caulfeild’s expiring Land Use Contract (LUC). 

Staff have developed three potential options for updating the zoning for the Caulfeild LUC area.

Option 1 – “Do Nothing”

Under this option, no action will be taken before the expiration of the Caulfeild Area Land Use Contract on June 30, 2024. Residential properties in Caulfeild will be subject to the underlying zoning regulations (RS2, RS3, RS10).

Over 80% of the existing residential developments could be classified as legally non-conforming. This means that many property owners will not be able to make any significant exterior modifications or additions to their property without a zoning amendment or variance application. As well, if a property was destroyed to a certain extent, it would not be allowed to be rebuilt and redevelopment would be required to follow the current zoning regulations.

Option 2 - “Legalize existing development and apply RS10 Zoning”

Under this option, residential property owners will have two choices for redeveloping their property:

  1. Redevelop the property as it currently exists (i.e., legalize the existing buildings and development); or
  2. Redevelop the property in accordance with the RS10 zoning regulations. A secondary suite (i.e., basement suite and/or coach house) could potentially be built, either at the time of redevelopment or in the future.

In this scenario, the future primary home may be smaller than what was originally constructed (if choice two is selected) due to RS10’s maximum floor area regulations. However, it provides additional potential flexibility in developing secondary suites, which was not previously permitted (i.e., basement suite and/or coach house).

Option 3 – “Legalize existing development and apply the LUC Regulations”

Under this option, residential property owners will have two choices for redeveloping their property:

  1. Redevelop the property as it currently exists (i.e., legalize the existing buildings and development); or
  2. Redevelop the property in accordance with the regulations of the LUC as follows:
    - Density: Maximum 0.35 FAR (permitted in zoning for most RS zones from 1989 – 2021)
    - Site coverage: Maximum 30%
    - Height: Maximum 8 m
