POLICY

The construction of the sports court does not comply with the following bylaws and policies that govern development adjacent to watercourses in the District:

Official Community Plan Watercourse Protection

Guideline NE13

Creeks Bylaw No. 3013, 1982
Watercourse Protection Bylaw No. 4364, 2005

EVALUATION

The sports court does not comply with the OCP NE 13

guidelines for protection of watercourses within existing neighbourhoods.

The sports court was constructed within a Creek

Protection Covenant Area in contravention to the conditions of the Covenant.

The owner of the sports court was previously told that a

sports court in that location would not be approved and then they constructed it without a permit.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommend that the Environmental Development

Permit for the sports court within the watercourse setback area be rejected.
