1. ISSUE
The City has received Official Community Plan Amendment, Zoning Bylaw Text
Amendment and Rezoning applications from 1016632 BC Ltd. for a property located
at 500 Townley Street in order to allow for a nine lot subdivision and allow vacation
rentals.
2. RECOMMENDATION
THAT the Official Community Plan Amendment application to amend the
designation of Lot 8, Plan 12148 (500 Townley Street) from Urban Reserve to
Rural Residential be supported to proceed with an Amendment Bylaw.
THAT Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment application to add the sub zone
RR0.4v Rural Residential, 0.4 Hectare Zoning District, Vacation Rental to the
Zoning Bylaw be supported to proceed with an Amendment Bylaw.
AND THAT the Rezoning application to rezone Lot 8, Plan 12148 (500 Townley
Street) from RR60 Rural Residential, 60 Hectare Zoning District to proposed
new subzone RR0.4v Rural Residential, 0.4 Hectare Zoning District, Vacation
Rental be supported to proceed with a Rezoning Bylaw.
3. CAO COMMENTS
Reviewed. GDI.
4. BACKGROUND
4.1 The applicant is proposing to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) to change the
designation of the subject property (see Figure 1) from Urban Reserve to Rural
Residential (see Figure 2). As well, the applicant has applied to amend the Zoning
Bylaw to add a subzone for Vacation Rental use, RR0.4v Rural Residential, 0.4
Hectare Zoning District, Vacation Rental. Finally the applicant has applied to rezone
the subject property from RR60 Rural Residential, 60 Hectare Zoning District to
proposed new subzone RR0.4v Rural Residential, 0.4 Hectare Zoning District,
Vacation Rental (see Figure 3). The subject applications are to allow for the subdivision
Page 1 of 3

of the subject property into nine single family residential lots (see Figure 4) all of which
would allow Vacation Rental use subject to individual property owners obtaining a
Business License.
4.2 If Council supports proceeding with the proposed three bylaws they would be prepared
and presented to Council for their consideration of initial readings and scheduling of a
Public Hearing. Advertisements notifying the community of the Public Hearing would be
placed in the newspaper and property owners within 100m of the subject property
would be mailed notifications.
4.3 If the proposed applications are approved the applicant would then be requested to
submit a Subdivision Application. This application would include additional information
and drawings on the proposed development.
5. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
5.1. There are no known financial implications arising from the recommendation.
6. DISCUSSION
6.1. The applicant has submitted the subject applications in order to allow for a nine lot
subdivision of the subject property. The subdivision format that would be supported is
bare land Strata subdivision. This would allow for the proposed nine lots including
proposed Lot 9 without public road frontage and would allow the access and servicing
to remain private. The proposed access road and service lines would not be City owned
or maintained; they would be private and part of the strata.
6.2. The proposed Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment would allow for Vacation Rental use
subzone to be available for properties currently zoned RR0.4 Rural Residential, 0.4
Hectare Zoning District to apply to rezone to the new subzone. As the applicant is
proposing to rezone the property to the Vacation Rental subzone in advance of
subdividing, if the rezoning and subdivision were approved each future property owner
would only need to obtain a Business License in order to allow for the Vacation Rental
use on their property. As the whole subdivision would have the Vacation Rental use in
place future owners would be coming into the strata fully aware that their neighbours
could have Vacation Rentals.
7. RELEVANT LEGISLATION
7.1 Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1950
7.2 Zoning Bylaw No. 1264
