"Langford Zoning Bylaw, Amendment No. 582, (2716 and 2720 Strathmore Road), Bylaw 1884, 2020".

The Acting Mayor opened the Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 1884 at 5:32 pm, and read a statement to inform those present of the public hearing procedure.

Director of Planning Matthew Baldwin advised that Nicholas Frappell has applied on behalf of 1199599 BC Ltd. to amend the zoning designation of 2716 and 2720 Strathmore Road from the R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) Zone to the RM7A (Medium-Density Apartment A) Zone.

This is being proposed in order to allow for the development of residential building consisting of approximately 32 units within the City of Langford's designated City Centre.

As part of this application, a public hearing is required in accordance with the regulations of the Local Government Act.

In support of this application, the applicant has agreed to provide the following as a bonus for increased density, per unit prior to issuance of a building permit: i. $750 per unit towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund; and
ii. $2,850 per unit towards the Affordable Housing Fund;
both of these amenities are subject to a 50% reduction for those units on the 5 th and 6 th storeys, in accordance with the Affordable Housing and Amenity Contribution Policy.

The applicant has provided the following, in accordance with Council's resolution and to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering prior to this Public Hearing: i. A technical memo from an engineer that verifies storm water can be adequately managed on-site;
ii. A Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) completed by a professional engineer;
iii. A frontage drawing to confirm road dedication and frontage improvements;

Prior to bylaw adoption, the applicant has agreed to:

  • Register a road dedication plan, if required, which accommodates the required frontage improvements, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
  • Provide a Sec. 219 covenant, registered in priority over all other charges on title and that requires: i. That the developer install all required frontage improvements to Bylaw No. 1000 standards, including the installation of road edge parking, sidewalks, boulevard landscaping and possibly streetlights, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering, prior to issuance of a building permit;
    ii. That the developer will connect and be responsible for any upgrades and/or installation of services and utilities required to support the proposed development
    iii. That all storm water management plans be provided prior to issuance of a building permit and implemented, as per Bylaw 1000, all to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
    iv. That a construction parking and traffic management plan be provided prior to the issuance of a building permit, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering;
    v. That the required parking stalls for this development are allocated for each residential unit, as required by Zoning Bylaw No. 300, and that parking is not offered separately for compensation;
    vi. That the developer submits a Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) prior to the issuance of a development permit to develop the property, and acknowledges that these calculations may determine different setbacks than what is prescribed in the zone or from what has been granted through variances;
    vii. That the developer agrees to install any infrastructure, including fire hydrants, required to fight an urban fire, as prescribed in Bylaw No. 1000.

Council has authorized the Director of Planning to issue the following variances within any form and character Development Permit for the subject property: a. to reduce the required building setback to a rear property line from 7.5m to 3m;
b. to reduce the required building setback from a front lot line from 7.5m to 0.48m.

all subject to the applicant registering a Section 219 Covenant on the property acknowledging that they will not require an encroachment agreement onto City property as a result of receiving a variance from the required building setback to the front property line.
