POLICY / REGULATORY ANALYSIS:

Policy direction for the subject properties is guided by the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 8383, 2011, and the

Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan, 2010. Both policy documents support regional commercial uses for

the portions of lands addressed in these applications.

Official Community Plan

The Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 8383, 2011 designates both properties as Business District, Regional within

Schedule B-6: Future Land Use. Business District, Regional areas accommodate a range of large scale retail and

auto-oriented shops, including department stores, apparel, home furnishings, and general merchandise stores.

Rezoning a portion of the subject properties from P1: Parks and Recreation to Z8: Regional Shopping is consistent

with the Official Community Plan.

Document Number: 245168

Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan

The Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan was adopted by Council on November 29, 2010. The

Neighbourhood Plan boundary encompasses the Pine Centre Mall, Prince George Golf & Curling Club, Roll-A-Dome,

Prince George Playhouse, and Pine Valley Golf Course (Schedule “A” Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan

Boundary Map). The plan supports regional commercial uses in the northeastern portion of the plan area, which

includes the subject properties. Within this area, the plan states that “Regional Commercial expansion is logical due

to its location and exposure to Highway 16,” and to “attract new Regional Commercial Type Users.”

Rezoning a portion of the subject properties from P1: Parks and Recreation to Z8: Regional Shopping is consistent

with the Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan.

Zoning Bylaw

The purpose of the P1: Parks and Recreation zone is to “provide for the preservation and enhancement of open

space while supporting limited, complementary secondary uses.”

The purpose of the Z8: Regional Shopping zone is to “provide site-specific regulations for regional shopping areas,

primarily for retail uses that require large, low profile building or large tenancies within buildings.”

The proposed Z8 zone is consistent with policy direction in the Official Community Plan and Golf Course – Pine

Centre Neighbourhood Plan. Therefore, the Department supports the rezoning of the portions of the properties as

shown on Appendix “A” to Bylaw No. 8469 and Appendix “A” to Bylaw No. 8470.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES:

This proposal relates to the following Strategic Priorities of Council:

Building Stronger Neighbourhoods: This proposal is the first phase in the development of a new infill

neighbohourhood in Prince George as described in the Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan approved by

Council in 2010.

Strengthening and Diversifying our Economy: This proposal would allow for increased development near the high

profile intersection of Highways 16 and 97.

FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS:

The City has an interest in land as the current owner of Property A and in a Section 219 covenant registered on the

legal title of Property B currently owned by Prince George Golf and Curling Club Ltd.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS:

Referrals

The application was referred out to internal City divisions and external agencies; no outstanding concerns regarding

the proposed rezoning were expressed.

ALTERNATIVES:

1. Approve the application 2. Approve the application as amended 3. Reject or refuse the application 4. Defer or otherwise deal with the application

The Department recommends that Council approve this application as it is consistent with the policy direction

provided in the Official Community Plan and Golf Course – Pine Centre Neighbourhood Plan.

Document Number: 245168

The applicant would like rezone the portions of the subject properties as shown on Appendix “A” to Bylaw No. 8469

and Appendix “A” to Bylaw No. 8470 in order to facilitate the future sale, subdivision, and development of regional

commercial uses. The Planning and Development Department recommends Council approve the applications as the
