September 2023 Update
The Director of Planning and Development Services gave consideration to the development permit for wildfire hazard and steep slopes protection to enable the subdivision of the property into 4 lots under existing RS10 zoning.
The decision of the Director was to approve the permit. This file is now closed.
August 2023 Update
The applicant has revised the existing proposal. Instead of applying for a rezoning to develop 9 townhouse units, the applicant now wishes to subdivide the property into four bare land strata lots under existing RS10 (single family) zoning. The permitted land uses would be as per the RS10 zone. A rezoning is no longer required.
To enable the bare land strata subdivision to create the four lots, a Wildfire Hazard and Sites with Difficult Terrain (Steep Slopes) Development Permit is required. Council delegated the authority to the Director of Planning and Development Services to consider and approve the development permit. A variance to proposed Strata Lot 1 for site width and depth, as shown on the Proposed 4 Lot Bare Land Strata Plan posted below. The Director may consider zoning bylaw variances as part of the development permit to achieve superior siting.
