PUBLIC HEARING - BYLAW 2519

BYLAW 2519: Official Community Plan Bylaw, 2017, No. 2220, Amendment No. 4 (Development Permit Area Guidelines), 2024, No. 2519

PURPOSE: Bylaw 2519 is proposed to implement updates to the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and would amend the OCP with changes to the following sections: Land Use, Development Permit Areas (Form/Character/Sustainability), Mature Neighbourhood Infill Development Permit Area Guidelines, East Side Large Lot Infill Development Permit Area Guidelines, Development Permit Areas (Environmental), Schedule A - Land Use Plan, and Schedule B - Form and Character Development Permit Areas, in addition to replacing all references to “Duplex” and “Triplex” with “Houseplex”.

The OCP applies to all lands in the City. The proposed OCP amendments apply to Small Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) forms that the City was mandated to facilitate under the Local Government Act (LGA) through Bill 44 - 2023 Housing Statutes (Residential Development) Amendment Act, 2023. These amendments will streamline the processing of development permits for SSMUH, making implementation easier.

Bylaw 2519 also includes removing the East Side Large Lot Development Permit Area (Form & Character) and replacing it with the Multi-Family Development Permit Area (Form & Character).  In conjunction with this Development Permit Area change, those properties that are currently subject to the East Side Large Lot Infill development permit area land use designation are proposed to be changed from East Side Large Lot Infill Area to Town Centre Transition. Policy changes are also proposed to the Town Centre Transition designation to ensure that the heights and densities for the East Side Large Lot Infill designated properties are maintained if redesignated. There is no increase or change in density beyond what has been mandated by the Province with the SSMUH.

The properties in the following area are proposed to have their land use designation change from East Side Large Lot Infill to Town Centre Transition, and their Development Permit Area changed from East Side Large Lot Infill to Multi-Family:

• The properties east of Peace Arch Hospital, bounded by North Bluff Road, Russell Avenue, Finlay Street and Maple Street (which includes the ALTUS building at 1556 Finlay Street)
• East side of Maple Street between North Bluff Road and Russell Avenue (1500-block of Maple Street)
• The property at 15738 North Bluff Road (south of North Bluff Road, between east of Lee Street and west of Kent Street)
