### Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee - Part 1 of 2

Source pages: 24–51

## Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee

Date: June 11, 2018  
Department: Planning  
Application No.: Z18-0001  
Subject: Application to Rezone 2512 Duncan Place from One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) Zone to Residential Small Lot 3 (RS3) Zone to Allow a Development of Nine One-Family Residential Lots

### PURPOSE
Marty Block has applied on behalf of Jane Parkinson to rezone 2512 Duncan Place from One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) Zone to Residential Small Lot 3 (RS3) Zone to allow for the future subdivision of nine one-family small lots.

### BACKGROUND

PREVIOUS APPLICATIONS  
The City has not received any previous planning applications on the subject property.

#### Table 1: Site Data

| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Applicant | Marty Block |
| Owner | Jane Parkinson |
| Civic Address | 2512 Duncan Place |
| Legal Description | Lot 3, Sections 108 and 109, Esquimalt District, Plan 22999, Except Those Parts in Plans 28050 and 37232 |
| Size of Property | 3,377m² (0.83 acres) |
| DP Areas | None |
| Current Zoning Designation | One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) |
| Proposed Zoning Designation | Residential Small Lot 3 (RS3) |
| OCP Designation | Neighbourhood |

### SITE AND SURROUNDING AREA
The subject property is primarily treed except for the area that was cleared to construct the existing one-family residential dwelling and its surrounding yard. Topographically, this site is steep throughout, rising from a level grade at Duncan Place to approximately 6m in the rear yard. Surrounding properties are zoned One- and Two-Family Residential, but most are larger than the minimum size requirement of 550m².

#### Table 2: Surrounding Land Uses

| Direction | Zoning | Use |
|---|---:|---|
| North | One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) | Single-Family Residential |
| East | One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) | Single-Family Residential |
| South | One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) | Single-Family Residential |
| West | One- and Two-Family Residential (R2) | Single-Family Residential |

[Image 3: Figure 1 – Subject Property (map/diagram)]

### COUNCIL POLICY

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN  
The Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw No. 1200 designates the subject properties as ‘Neighbourhood’ and ‘Neighbourhood Centre’, which are defined by the following text:

Neighbourhood
- Predominantly residential precinct that supports a range of low and medium density housing choices including secondary suites
- This area allows for residential and mixed use commercial intensification of streets that connect centres and/or are serviced by transit
- Schools, community facilities and other institutional uses are permitted throughout the area
- Retail serving local residents is encouraged along transportation corridors
- Parks, open spaces and recreational facilities are integrated throughout the area
- This area allows for Neighbourhood Centres to emerge in the form of medium density mixed-use nodes at key intersections.

DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREAS  
The subject property is not located within any Environmental Development Permit area, but a Development Permit for Form and Character of each residential dwelling will be required prior to issuance of a building permit.

### COMMENTS

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL  
The applicant is proposing to construct a bit more than half of a municipal road, which would fit all the required services and allow for two-way traffic. This would give the opportunity for the property to the north to construct the other half of the road and create similar lots in the same fashion as shown in Appendix A.

This development would also provide their required five street parking spaces at the narrow section of this property near Duncan Place, perpendicular to the travelled portion of the road. There would also be enough room in the cul-de-sac for the future development to add parking stalls in the centre.

Given the number of new lots proposed against existing neighbours, Council may wish to require all new lots to have a 1.8m high fence installed along their rear property lines and a 1.2m high fence installed along the eastern property line next to the newly built road.

### Table 3: Proposal Data

| Item | Permitted by R2 (Current Zoning) | Permitted by RS3 (Proposed Zone) |
|---|---|---|
| Permitted Uses | One- or Two Family Dwelling; Secondary suites within one-family dwellings; Home Occupation; Group Daycare; Temporary construction or real estate marketing office | One-Family Dwelling; Home occupation; One boarder in a one-family dwelling |
| Density (min. lot size) | 550m² | 220m² |
| Lot Width | 16.0m | 9.0m |
| Height | 9.0m | 8.5m |
| Site Coverage | 50% | 50% |
| Front Yard Setback | 6.0m | 3.0m (to the dwelling); 5.5m (to the garage) |
| Interior Side Yard Setback | 1.5m | 1.2m |
| Exterior Side Yard Setback | 4.5m (to the dwelling); 5.5m (to the garage) | 3.5m |
| Rear Yard Setback | 6.0m | 5.5m |
| Parking Requirement | 2 spaces per dwelling; 1 space per secondary suite | 2 spaces per dwelling |

### FRONTAGE IMPROVEMENTS

Duncan Place  
The applicant will be required to provide full frontage improvements in accordance with Bylaw 1000, however it is not anticipated there would be much improvements needed along Duncan Place given how narrow the property is at this point. Road improvements may include the following:
- Paving
- Curbing
- Streetlights, and the removal of the existing davit arm
- Drainage control
- Landscaping (including irrigated street trees)

### NEW MUNICIPAL ROAD

The applicant will be required to construct a portion of a new road in accordance with Bylaw 1000 prior to subdivision approval. Improvements for this road would include the following:
- A minimum 8.0m wide road dedication
- A minimum of two 3.0m wide drive lanes
- Five street parking stalls, 2.6m wide and a minimum 5.5m long.
- Street lighting, but conduits and servicing to the ultimate street light location in the centre of the cul-de-sac
- Landscaped boulevard (including irrigated street trees)
- No sidewalk is required on this cul-de-sac

Given the unique layout of the street parking stalls and additional space surrounding them, Council may wish to require additional landscaping with irrigation in this area and a solid 1.2m high fence west of the parking stalls to prevent headlights from shining into the neighbours’ property. Council may also wish to require a construction management plan given that this property is located on a cul-de-sac and there is limited space for parking in this area.

### PARKS AND BOULEVARD

Landscaping within the new municipal road would entail street trees at a density of one per 15m complete with municipal drip irrigation. If the applicant cannot provide the required number of street trees due to spacing constraints, cash-in-lieu of each missing tree in the amount of $1,100 each would be accepted. However, the additional trees planted in around the parking stalls may provide space for any missing trees along the length of the road. As there is no park land requested or provided, the applicant would be requested to provide 5% cash-in-lieu of park land of the post-rezoning land assessment at the time of subdivision as per Section 510 of the Local Government Act.

### SEWERS

A sewer main exists within Duncan Place and the developer will be required to extend the main into the site, through approved civil engineering drawings. Any sewer extensions or modifications within the municipal road right-of-way will be constructed by West Shore Environmental Services at the applicant’s expense.

### DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

As a condition of subdivision approval, Bylaw No 1000 allows the applicant to manage storm water either through on-site detention or infiltration. As no storm water drain exists in Duncan Place, it is anticipated infiltration will occur, but this would need to be demonstrated.

### Staff Report to Planning, Zoning and Affordable Housing Committee - Part 2 of 2

Source pages: 24–51

As a condition of rezoning, Council may wish to require the applicant to examine how storm water can be managed onsite and to provide a technical memo prior to public hearing from a qualified professional in this regard to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering.
