What is Scotch Creek/Lee Creek Amendment Bylaw Number 825-47 (BL825-47)?
The subject property is located at 1343 Deodar Road in Scotch Creek of Electoral Area F and is more particularly shown in bold outline on the map:
The property owners are proposing to build a new 190 m2 accessory building with a secondary dwelling unit on the upper floor. The R1 - Residential zoning currently permits one single family dwelling and maximum floor area for an accessory building of 75 m2. It is proposed to add a site specific regulation to the R1 zone in Bylaw Number 825 to permit a 53.6 m2 dwelling unit on the upper floor of the 190 m2 accessory building.
Waiving of Public Hearing
This bylaw amendment proposal is consistent with the policies contained in Electoral Area F Official Community Plan Bylaw Number 830. The property is designated Neighbourhood Residential (NR) which supports the proposed density and housing form. Therefore, there are no amendments required to the Official Community Plan.
Section 464(2) of the Local Government Act provides an option for local governments to waive the holding of a public hearing with respect to a bylaw amendment, if there is an Official Community Plan (OCP) in effect for the area that is subject to the zoning bylaw, and the proposed bylaw amendment is consistent with the OCP. As this bylaw amendment is consistent with the OCP, the Board waived the holding of a public hearing for this bylaw amendment at its November 18, 2021 Board meeting.
In accordance with Section 8.1.1 of Development Services Procedures Bylaw Number 4001, all owners of property within 100 m of the subject property must be sent notices advising that a public hearing has been waived and be given the opportunity to provide comment about the bylaw amendment.
