Page 2 RECOMMENDATION SUMMARY • By-law Introduction and set date for Public Hearing for Rezoning. • Approval for Development Variance Permit to proceed to Public Notification. DEVIATION FROM PLANS, POLICIES OR REGULATIONS • Proposed amendments to the Orchard Grove Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) to:

o remove a portion of 25A Avenue between 164 Street and 164A Street; o adjust the transition landscape buffer on 26 Avenue; o amend the Large Lot Single Family lot dimensions for four (4) proposed lots; o change the location of lanes; and o redesignate a portion of the site from "Large Lot Duplex or Large Lot Single Family

(2-10 upa)" to "Small Lot Single Family w/wo Coach House (10-15 upa)";

as illustrated on Appendix III.

• Proposed Development Variance Permit (DVP) to the setback requirements of the RF Zone on proposed Lots 8, 9 and 33.

RATIONALE OF RECOMMENDATION • At the July 7, 2014 Regular Council – Land Use meeting, the subject development application

was referred back to staff to address the concerns raised by members of the community regarding transitional densities, the proposed landscape buffer and the potential impact on the neighbourhood context (Council Resolution R14-1188). The revised proposal is the result of further consultation and negotiations between the applicant and the neighbouring residents, as facilitated by staff. The revised proposal (Appendix II) addresses the concerns of the neighbouring residents and is agreeable to all parties (the applicant, the neighbouring residents, and staff).

• A DVP is required to amend the setback requirements of the RF Zone for proposed Lots 8 and

9, in order to reduce the south side and front yard setbacks and increase the side yard flanking setbacks. These variances will allow for the homes to be consistent with the adjacent RF-10 and RF-12 homes to the south, while respecting the landscape buffer and transitional requirements on 26 Avenue. A DVP is also required to increase the side yard flanking setback of proposed Lot 33 so that it respects the landscape buffer on 26 Avenue and is consistent with the setbacks of the two (2) CD Zoned lots proposed to the east (Lots 30 and 31).

BACKGROUND • A Planning Report for Development Application No. 7912-0323-00 was forwarded to Council

for consideration at the July 7, 2014 Regular Council – Land Use meeting (Appendix VI).

• At the July 7, 2014 Regular Council – Land Use meeting, the subject development application was referred back to staff to address the concerns raised by members of the community regarding transitional densities, the proposed landscape buffer and the potential impact on the neighbourhood context (Council Resolution R14-1188).

• The revised proposal is the result of further consultation and negotiations between the

applicant and the neighbouring residents, as facilitated by staff. The revised proposal (Appendix II) addresses the concerns of the neighbouring residents and is agreeable to all parties (the applicant, the neighbouring residents / Grandview Heights Stewardship Association, and staff).

JUSTIFICATION FOR PLAN AMENDMENTS • The site is designated "Urban" in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and "Large Lot Single

Family or Large Lot Duplex (2-10 upa)", "Small Lot Single Family with/without coach house (10-15 upa)" and "Transition Landscape Buffer" in the Orchard Grove Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP).

• The revised proposal includes an amendment to the Orchard Grove NCP to:

o remove a portion of 25A Avenue between 164 Street and 164A Street;

o adjust the transition landscape buffer on 26 Avenue;

o amend the Large Lot Single Family lot dimensions for four (4) proposed lots;

o change the location of lanes; and

o redesignate a portion of the site from "Large Lot Duplex or Large Lot Single Family

(2-10 upa)" to "Small Lot Single Family w/wo Coach House (10-15 upa)";

as illustrated on Appendix III.

Each of these proposed amendments is addressed in turn below. • In the previous proposal, four (4) driveways were proposed from 26 Avenue, which required

an NCP amendment. With the revised proposal, there are no driveways proposed from 26 Avenue; all lots on 26 Avenue will have driveways from either 164A Street or rear lanes.

Remove a Portion of 25A Avenue: • This proposed amendment is consistent with the original proposal as presented to Council on

July 7, 2014. The proposed Orchard Grove NCP amendment to remove a portion of 25A Avenue between 164 Street and 164A Street responds to concerns raised by the area residents on the West side of 164 Street in the Morgan Heights neighbourhood. A petition signed by 14 households was submitted to the City requesting the elimination of 25A Avenue between 164 Street and 164A Street. The Engineering Department assessed this request and determined that this portion of 25A Avenue is not required.

Page 7 Adjust Transition Landscape Buffer: • This proposed amendment is consistent with the original proposal as presented to Council on

July 7, 2014. The NCP shows a 10 metre (33 ft.) transition landscape buffer and a 2.5 metre (8.2 ft.) amenity connector (enhanced sidewalk) requiring a statutory right-of-way on private property. The proposed NCP amendment to adjustment the transition landscape buffer will include:

o a 10 metre (33 ft.) setback from the property line consisting of a 2 metre (6.6 ft) area for the front treatment of the home and an 8 metre (26 ft.) landscape buffer area requiring a no-build restrictive covenant; and

o road right-of-way dedication for the 3 metre (10 ft.) enhanced sidewalk on 26 Avenue and an approximately 3 metre (10 ft.) boulevard area for street tree planting providing an approximately 16 metre (52 ft.) separation between the curb and the proposed dwelling units.

• Overall, the proposed NCP amendment to adjust the landscape transition buffer on 26 Avenue

is minor and the proposed dwellings units will still be located 10 metres (33 ft.) from the property line of 26 Avenue and approximately 16 metres (52 ft.) from the curb.

Amend Lot Dimensions of 4 Large Lots: • The NCP requires a minimum lot width of 24 metres (79 ft.) and a minimum lot depth of

35 metres (115 ft.), plus 10 metres (33 ft.) statutory right-of-way for the transition landscape buffer, for lots fronting 26 Avenue. The applicant is proposing three (3) RF Zoned lots with side yards flanking onto 26 Avenue (proposed Lots 8, 9 and 33), and one (1) additional RF Zoned lot fronting 164A Street (proposed Lot 32) within the "Large Lot Single Family" designated area. These lots front 164 Street and 164A Street.

• Proposed Lots 8 and 9 have lot widths of 19 metres (62 ft.) and lot depths of 35.9 metres

(118 ft.) and 39 metres (128 ft.) respectively. Proposed Lots 32 and 33 have lot widths of 19 metres (62 ft.) and 26 metres (85 ft.) respectively, and lot depths of 34 metres (112 ft.). The lot dimensions are established as a result of discussion and negotiations between the applicant and the neighbouring residents along the north side of 26 Avenue. An NCP amendment is required in order to permit these lot dimensions.

• The applicant must provide renderings and a streetscape plan, and amend the building design

guidelines in order to ensure that the proposed homes are built to a high standard, taking into consideration the context of the homes across the street, on the north side of 26 Avenue. The façade of houses on proposed Lots 30, 31 and 33 should be oriented toward 26 Avenue. The façade of houses on proposed Lots 8 and 9 should be well articulated along 26 Avenue. Once submitted, this information will be reviewed and the neighbouring residents will be consulted.

Change Location of Lanes • The NCP shows an east-west lane connecting 164 and 164A Streets to the south of the "Large

Lot Duplex or Large Lot Single Family (2-10 upa)" designated area. This lane was shown in the plan presented to Council at the July 7, 2014 Council meeting (Appendix VI).

• In the revised proposal, the east-west lane does not connect through from 164 Street to

164A Street. Instead it outlets to 164 Street only, and connects to a north-south lane between the RF-12 Zoned lots on the east side of 164 Street and the RF-10 Zoned lots on the west side of 164A Street.

• A north-south lane was shown in the previous proposal as well, as presented to Council on

July 7, 2014. This lane was not shown in the NCP. An NCP amendment is also required to connect this lane south to 25 Avenue. It is anticipated that the lots to the south of the subject site will develop similarly, with RF-12 lots fronting 164 Street and RF-10 lots fronting 164A Street.

• An NCP amendment is also required to eliminate the portion of the east-west lane between

the proposed north-south lane and 164A Street. Partial Redesignation from Large Lots to Small Lots • A portion of land south of proposed Lots 8 and 9 is proposed to be redesignated to "Small Lot

Single Family w/wo Coach House". This NCP amendment is requested as a result of the proposed lot orientation. This amendment still meets the intent of the NCP, which is to provide appropriately sized lots to interface with the acreage properties on the north side of 26 Avenue, and to allow smaller lots to the south of these transitional lots.

DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS • In the revised proposal, a total of 33 lots are proposed, including 2 large CD Zoned lots, 4 RF

Zoned lots, 7 RF-12 lots and 20 RF-10 lots, as illustrated on Appendix II. • The revised proposal addresses the concerns of the neighbouring residents, who had indicated

opposition to the previously proposed interface treatment on 26 Avenue. There were 7 proposed CD Zoned lots (based on RF) fronting 26 Avenue, all with lot widths of 24 metres (80 ft.). While this width is consistent with the NCP designation, neighbouring residents raised concerns regarding the interface with the acreage properties on the north side of the street.

• In the revised proposal, 2 large CD lots are proposed on the east side of 164A Street, with lot

widths of 31 metres (102 ft.). Three (3) RF lots are also proposed on 26 Avenue, but fronting 164 Street and 164A Street. These lots have depths ranging from 34 metres (112 ft.) to 39 metres (128 ft.). The total number of lots along the site’s 26 Avenue frontage has been reduced from 7 to 5. This compares more favourably and provides an improved interface to the 4 existing acreage properties on the north side of 26 Avenue directly across the street from the subject site.

• The proposed RF-10 and RF-12 lots meet the requirements of the respective zones as well as

the requirements of the NCP designation. • The form, character and density of the proposed development generally complies with the

Orchard Grove NCP, except where noted that an NCP amendment is required.

Page 9 Building Design Guidelines and Lot Grading: • Mike Tynan of Tynan Consulting prepared a Neighbourhood Character Study and Building

Scheme, based on the previous proposal. A revised set of building design guidelines, along with a streetscape plan and renderings which reflect the revised proposal must be submitted and found to be acceptable by staff. The building design on 26 Avenue will be reviewed closely in order to ensure an appropriate interface, streetscape, and high design standard is adhered to.

• A preliminary lot grading plan for the previous proposal was prepared and submitted by

Citiwest Consulting Limited. and has been reviewed by City staff. The plan shows area with fill greater than 0.5 metres (1.6 ft.) on the proposed site. These areas are minimal and are necessary to accommodate existing roads, in-ground basements and to facilitate proper lot drainage. A revised preliminary lot grading plan which reflects the revised proposal must be submitted and found acceptable by staff. Subsequently, a final lot grading plan will be required before final approval of this project.

Comprehensive Development Zone: • Two (2) large single family lots are proposed fronting 26 Avenue (proposed Lots 30 and 31)

shown as Block A in Appendix II. These lots are proposed to be zoned "Comprehensive Development Zone (CD)" based on the "Single Family Residential Zone (RF)" (Appendix V) and is a hybrid of the RF and RH-G Zones, and consistent with the CD Zone (By-law No. 18206) established for the transitional lots recently approved in the block north of the subject site under Development Application No. 7913-0226-00. These lots are similarly sized to the subject lots and also interface with acreage properties.

• The proposed CD Zone for these transitional lots provides for larger lot sizes and a maximum density of 3 upa in accordance with the requirements of the Orchard Grove NCP. The following table outlines the differences between the RF Zone and the proposed CD Zone:

• The proposed CD By-law requires that the lots take rear lane access. Access to 26 Avenue is

not permitted. Transportation Network: • The transportation network requirements are generally consistent with the previous proposal,

including:

o 1.942 m. (6.4 ft.) road dedication for the widening of 164 Street;

o 11.75 m. (38.5 ft.) road dedication for the widening of 26 Avenue including the construction of the 3 m. (10 ft.) enhanced concrete sidewalk;

o 20 m. (66 ft.) road dedication for the construction of 25A Avenue East of 164A Street;

o 20 m. (66 ft.) road dedication for the construction of 164A Street including the

construction of a 2.5m (8.2 ft.) enhanced sidewalk on the West side of the street; and

o 6 m. (20 ft.) road dedication and construction of lanes required for rear lane access. • There is a change to the lane configuration on the west side of the site. In the previous

proposal an east-west lane was proposed connecting 164 Street and 164A Street. In the revised proposal, an east-west lane outlet is proposed to 164 Street only. This lane still provides vehicular access to all lots on the west side of 164A Street. All of these lots are required to take rear lane access. Transportation Engineering has reviewed this change and has no concerns.

• No driveways are permitted to 26 Avenue. Proposed Lots 8, 9, 30 and 31 must take access

from the rear lane. Proposed Lot 33 must take access from 164A Street. Landscape Transition Buffer & Gateway Features: • The Orchard Grove NCP requires a 10 metre (33 ft.) transition landscape buffer on 26 Avenue

in order to provide an adequate transition to the existing one (1) acre lots on the North side of 26 Avenue. As discussed earlier in this report, an NCP amendment is proposed to adjust the transition landscape buffer in order to accommodate a wider sidewalk and to ensure that the entire enhanced sidewalk is located on City lands. As such, the proposed transition landscape buffer is proposed to be 8 metres (26 ft.) statutory right-of-way and 1.2 metre (4 ft.) road right-of-way dedication. Within the landscape buffer area, a staggered double row of trees will be planted. The types of trees to be planted will be determined in coordination with the applicant, City staff including the City Landscape Architect, and the neighbourhood residents.

Page 11 • As part of the place making for the Orchard Grove NCP, a gateway has been identified at the

corner of 26 Avenue and 164 Street in order to clearly define the entrance to the neighbourhood, to reinforce community identify, and to create a sense of place in the NCP. The details of the proposed gateway features and landscaping in the transition buffer will be coordinated with the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department and will be finalized before final approval of this project. The applicant will also be required to register a Section 219 Restrictive Covenant and a statutory right-of-way for the transition landscape buffer on 26 Avenue and to reinforce that driveway access to 26 Avenue is prohibited.

PUBLIC CONSULTATION • Over the past six weeks, staff have worked closely with the parties involved to come to an

agreement on a layout, which reflects the intent of the NCP, responds to the concerns of the neighbouring residents, and is viable to the applicant.

• The neighbouring resident’s concerns have been addressed by increasing the widths and depths of lots fronting 26 Avenue, removing driveways from 26 Avenue, and reducing the number of lots on 26 Avenue. A detailed summary and comments are provided in an email dated February 17, 2015 from the neighbouring residents, which is attached as Appendix VIII.

• The current proposal is the result of a number of communications facilitated by staff, between

the applicant and the neighbouring residents. This proposed layout is agreeable to all parties.

• The neighbouring residents have requested to see renderings and a streetscape plan, and revised building design guidelines for the proposal, as well as a landscaping plan for the proposed buffer area. As discussed with the applicant, these items are being prepared and will be available for review by the neighbouring residents in advance of the Public Hearing.

BY-LAW VARIANCE AND JUSTIFICATION (a) Requested Variances:

• to reduce the minimum south side yard setback of the RF Zone from 1.8 metres (6 ft.) to 1.2 metres (4 ft.) for proposed Lots 8 and 9;

• to reduce the minimum front yard setback of the RF Zone from 7.5 metres (25 ft.) to

4 metres (13 ft.) for proposed Lots 8 and 9;

• to increase the minimum side yard on flanking street setback of the RF Zone from 3.6 metres (12 ft.) to 9 metres (30 ft.) for proposed Lots 8, 9 and 10 metres (33 ft.) for proposed Lot 33; and

• to vary the parking requirements of the RF Zone to restrict driveway access to the rear

lane and to prohibit the outside parking or storage of campers, boats or house trailers for proposed Lots 8 and 9; and

• to vary the parking requirements of the RF Zone to restrict driveway access to the

front yard for proposed Lot 33.

Page 12

Justification for Variances:

• The proposed setback variances on proposed Lots 8 and 9 is to provide a large setback on the north (26 Avenue) side, and a smaller setback on the south side. The larger setback on 26 Avenue is necessary in order to respect the 8 metre (26 ft.) wide landscape buffer, and to ensure that an additional 1 metre (3 ft.) wide setback from the buffer is adhered to. The setback relaxations on the south side yard and on the front yard are appropriate considering the site context. The RF-12 and RF-10 lots to the south are permitted to have the setbacks that are being requested by the variance to the RF Zone for proposed Lots 8 and 9 and will allow for a consistent streetscape on 164 Street and 164A Street.

• An increased setback on proposed Lot 33 to 10 metres (33 ft.) is required to respect the 8 metre (26 ft.) wide landscape buffer, and in order to be consistent with the 10 metre (33 ft.) front yard setback required by the CD Zone for proposed Lots 30 and 31.

• To ensure a compatible streetscape on 164 and 164A Streets, and in order to permit the

reduced front yard setbacks on proposed Lots 8 and 9, a DVP is also required to restrict driveway access to the rear lane, and to prohibit the outside parking or storage of campers, boats or house trailers, and to limit the outside parking of vehicles to 2 cars or trucks. These parking requirements are consistent with the RF-12 and RF-10 Zones.

From: Victoria Blinkhorn -Grandview Heights stewardship Association To: Kamitakaharn Heather Cc: Lai. Nicholas; Hintsche. Ron Subject: 7912-0323 letter Date: February-17-15 9:26:13 PM

History

Development Application 7912-0323 was referred back to Planning Staff by Council before First Reading on July 7, 2014 to address issues of transitional density, lot size, road/ lane orientation and transition green buffer/walkway integrity expressed by residents to individual Councillors, Planning Staff, and the Applicant during the spring and summer of 2014. Residents on the north side of 26th were, and continue to be, dedicated to the interpretation of the Orchard Grove NCP with respect to the treatment of the 26th Ave interface.

The NCP provides a flexibility in zoning/density as long as the "form and character" of the homes on the north side of the street are maintained. Council comments on July 7th recommended that "mirroring frontages" be explored by Planning and the Applicant, that the lower end of the 2-10 upa zoning spectrum be examined, and that this as well as the associated concerns such as built form and the landscape buffer/amenity pathway be examined to satisfy the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood, believing this outcome positive, have been waiting for the resolution of the referral to Staff since this time.

Recent developments

On January 26th, 2015 a representative group of residents were invited back to the table with the Applicant. To articulate the needs and wants of the neighbourhood within the NCP and to reach a mutual consensus between residents and the Applicant, Planning facilitated a process which involved reviewing plan drafts and consideration of alternative concepts. Four resident meetings with Planning at City Hall with most members of the 2015 Meeting group (in addition to one additional meeting with V.Biinkhorn only in attendance to clarify minute details) were held within three weeks. Additional phone calls and emails from other key neighbours were also part of the negotiation as the original July 7th plan (which was unchanged in detail on January 26th when "re-presented") evolved with the Applicant's responses to these meetings. On February 17th, the entire resident working group met with Planning to review the current version of the plan which represents a compromise from what the neighbourhood has long- envisioned as an expression of ideal transitional density (as articulated in the NCP) but it is a compromise that is potentially positive and acceptable under the following conditions:

Details of the interface treatment/ Layout AlO include:

• no driveways on to 26th Ave on south side (as per NCP) • no other interruption to the landscape buffer and amenity pathway other than

the curb cuts of 164A (as per NCP) • two RF lots (8 and 9) between 164th St and 164A St which are side-flanking to

26th; in their orientation, the appearance of wide shallow lots on the south side of 26th Ave will be achieved. (This replaces three 24m wide Jots in July 7th plan)

Page 32: in order to allow subdivision into 33 single family lots....Family or Large Lot Duplex (2-10 upa)", "Small Lot Single Family with/without coach house (10-15 upa)" and "Transition Landscape

• three 31metre wide lots (33,31,30) between 164A and the eastern border of the property. The homes on these lots will be oriented to face 26th Ave. CD zone. (This replaces four 24m wide Jots some with driveways in July 7th plan)

• road layout as presented by Engineering (parking only on south side of 26th, 2 bike lanes, 2 passage lanes, boulevard, amenity pathway, 8m landscape buffer)

The acceptance of this lot layout is conditional on the following being accepted by the resident group in advance of third reading (Public Hearing):

• renderings of the homes be submitted with details on design, construction, cladding, particularly with respect to the architecture of homes on lots 8 and 9 because of their flanking orientation to 26th

• the landscape buffer include evergreen/coniferous trees not just deciduous trees so a year-long greenspace be maintained

• setbacks and DVP's as noted in plan A10 not be altered without neighbourhood knowledge/consultation

• the neighbours would like to either meet with the developer/builder to discuss the above and/or see examples of their residential building projects

• any changes to the interface treatment, lot layout or conditions above between third and fourth hearing be expressed to the neighbours in a timely manner in order to enable response, if required.

Planning will further discuss with residents street-lighting options and signage/gate design (not the responsibility of the Applicant but part of the eventual execution of this plan).

Most importantly, the amount of time, effort and thought invested by the residents on this application over the last 1 1/2 years (conservatively) is central to our shared expectation that this application will set an important and firm precedent for Planning to support minimum 31m wide frontage (front-facing) lots on the south side of 26th avenue in Orchard Grove through to 168th St. with the same conditions noted above for all subsequent development proposals going forward on this street.

This is to maintain a consistent appearance and complimentary frontage to the acreage homes on the north side of 26th to the street in concert with the mandates of the SA NCP ( in particular, p. 23). Although we realize that each application is considered independently, our consistent message has been and will remain one of a holistic approach to the interface and a forward-thinking vision of the green transition buffer/amenity pathway/bike lanes as likely the most heavily-used pedestrian/cyclist route to the new amenities east of 168th, such as the Grandview Aquatic Centre, schools and community playing fields. The NCP deals with the interface as a entirety and also do the invested residents of the north side of 26th Avenue and residents of the surrounding neighbourhood. New development offers choice between good/better/best; our street expects "best" as articulated in the NCP and any "best practices" goals of sustainable, walkable, in-situ context urban planning.

Page 33: in order to allow subdivision into 33 single family lots....Family or Large Lot Duplex (2-10 upa)", "Small Lot Single Family with/without coach house (10-15 upa)" and "Transition Landscape

Finally, the retention of mature trees is key to the preservation of natural space in the transition green buffer which not only reflects a sensitivity to the residents of the north side of 26th (who moved there in part for the natural setting on the south side of the street) but will create a pleasurable walking/cycling experience for future residents and travellers as 26th Ave is built out. This particular application's property will likely have low relative tree retention by virtue of the land composition and the RF lots planned on its western border but residents expect that re-planting as per by-law, not just cash-in-lieu, is exercised.

For pending/future applications with more mature tree specimens, the extension of the transition landscape buffer (as it was presented throughout the SA CAC process) past 166th St and ideally to 168th St is essential.

We are appreciative of the efforts and expertise of Planning Staff (Nicholas Lai, Ron Hinchte and Heather Kamitakahara) to establish and ensure the process of community collaboration and feel that taking this application to Council under the above conditions on February 23, 2015 for first and second reading represents a compromise of our NCP-guided vision for the south side of 26th, but is realistically a potentially mutual and positive outcome for both the neighbourhood and the Applicant. We similarly acknowledge Roger Jawanda of CitiWest Engineering, on behalf of the Applicant, for working with the suggestions of Planning and the community to arrive at a conditional plan that Council will consider on February 23, 2015.
