Consultation has concluded

UPDATE: Feedback is now closed. Results are available in the Documents section and were shared with Council the Regular meeting of September 12, 2023. 

The City has received an application for a rural residential subdivision at 1530 Reservoir Road. Preliminary plans show 33 single detached strata lots and 5 ha (12.25 ac) of land to be dedicated as public parkland. This proposal would require a site-specific Official Community Plan amendment to allow 0.4 ha (1 ac) as the minimum lot size in the ‘Rural Residential’ future land use designation, based on the development connecting to the municipal water supply. Typically the ‘Rural Residential’ designation envisions minimum 1ha (2.5 ac) lots on private services (well and septic systems).

The proposal would also require rezoning the property from FG (Forestry Grazing) to RC (Country Residential) with a site-specific provision to allow 4.5m front yard setbacks rather than the typical 9.0m setbacks, and to rezone 5 ha (12.25 ac) to P4 (Environmental Reserve), for land that would be dedicated to the city as natural parkland.

Before the Public Hearing scheduled for September 12, the City is providing additional opportunities for residents to learn more about the proposal.
