Background

Plans and Policies:

  • CVEP is the Cedar Valley Engineering Plan (2019)
  • CVLAP is the Cedar Valley Local Area Plan (2019)
  • CVCDP is the Cedar Valley Comprehensive Development Plan (1996)
  • EMP is the Environmental Management Plan (2005)
  • CAC is the Community Amenity Contribution policy (2011)

Environmental definitions:

  • Bio-Inventory Assessment is a report that assesses all environmental values, or natural

assets, including aquatic, riparian, trees, terrestrial and avian habitat, physical attributes and natural capital on a development site.

  • Natural Capital means the world’s stock of natural resources, which includes geology, soils,

air , water , and all living organisms.

  • Protected Natural Assets (PNA) is an OCP land use designation that means parcels of land …

that have or could achieve attributes conducive to the retention of terrestrial or aquatic habitat, including Critical Habitat

  • Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) means an applied scientist or technologist in

good standing with an appropriate professional organization. QEPs must act under the

  • rganization’s code of ethics. A QEP could be a professional Biologist, Agrologist, Forester

, Geoscientist, Engineer or Technologist. QEPs conducts RAR reports and Bio-Inventories.

  • Riparian Area Regulation (RAR) means the regulation under the Fish Protection Act that

provides the legislated requirements for fish and fish habitat.

  • Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area is the setback from watercourse area

determined by the QEP in accordance with the RAR.

Protected Natural Assets

1996 & 2005 2018 & 2019 1996 CVCDP 2005 EMP 2018 OCP 2019 CVLAP

  • Provided environmental

protection objectives & policies

  • Established

environmental setbacks from creeks

  • Gaudin Creek C diversion
  • Policy that an

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) should be created

  • Environmental protection

approach & map included 5 defined areas:

  • Added,
  • Maintain,
  • Natural Open Spaces,

Remove (Compensation) &

  • Remove (Limited

production)

  • Strategies for replacing,

mitigating, compensating for lost habitat ($25 sq. m)

  • With adoption of OCP the

‘Added’, ‘Maintain’ and ‘ Natural Open Space’ areas where combined into one area designated Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA).

  • Contains policies for ESAs,

Urban Forest and Other Environmental Topics, including DP guidelines.

  • ESA areas renamed to

Protected Natural Assets (PNAs).

  • Builds upon 2005 EMP, 2018

OCP and includes an updated approach

  • Bio-inventories required &

include invasive species, tree, terrestrial & riparian assessments

Protected Natural Assets

  • Areas designated as Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) in the OCP will be re-named

Protected Natural Assets (PNA) in the CVLAP

  • PNAs are parcels of land … that have or support the retention or creation of terrestrial or

aquatic habitat including:

  • Critical habitat, Wetlands, Headwaters, Water retention, Re-charge areas & Other

ecological, Natural Capital or connectivity functions

  • PNAs include Streamside Protection and Enhancement Areas (SPEA), but may physically extend

beyond ESAboundaries.

  • PNAs may be suitable for walking trails, recreation, and green infrastructure
  • Policies with CVLAP re-enforce protection of PNAs:
  • PNAs could be expanded or if deemed suitable for reduction for development purposes

through a Bio-Inventory assessment, environmental and financial compensation would be needed

  • Such changes require an OCP Bylaw amendment are negotiated with staff and Council as

part of the development application process

Protected Natural Assets

Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) is determined by a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) under the Province’s Riparian Area Regulation (RAR) Watercourse Trails (preferred 1.5 m wide) can be located withinPNA, but not SPEA.

  • PNAs are portions of land that have, or could

support, terrestrial (forests, headwaters, water

  • r recharge areas) or aquatic wildlife habitat

(i.e., more than just watercourse setback).

  • PNAs

could include green and natural infrastructure for storm water management

  • In most cases PNAs include the SPEA.

  • PNAs

could include green and natural infrastructure for storm water management

  • In most cases PNAs include the SPEA.

Development area

  • CVLAP policies reinforce protection of PNAs.
  • In some cases, PNAs could be reallocated for

development through a Bio-Inventory assessment process.

  • Bio-Inventory

assessment would have to show no environmental impact.

  • Once Bio-Inventory assessment is complete,

changes to PNAs boundary are negotiated with staff, and then Council as part of OCP amendment process.

  • Developer is requested:
  • to volunteer a CAC;
  • or replace on 2:1 ratio

to remove PNA land.

Environmental Management

  • 4.3.1 Development sites shall be assessed for the totality of their environmental values through a

bio-inventory.

  • 4.3.2 Natural assets identified in a bio-inventory, regardless of whether they are designated

Protected Natural Asset (PNA) in the OCP , shall remain excluded from development; however , if a reduction of natural assets is proposed on the development site then compensation shall be provided by either: (a) dedication of land on the development site to the District at a ratio of 2:1 that’s acceptable to the District; or (b) a contribution in accordance with the District’s CommunityAmenity Contribution Policy.

  • 4.5.1 A development application bio-inventory shall include an assessment of invasive species

including noxious weeds, wherein the QEP shall prepare a noxious weed management plan.

  • Walking trails located in PNAs shall generally be limited to a single-track natural surface trail
  • 4.9.4 A tree canopy target of 40% should be considered for the long term protection and renewal
  • f the urban forest canopy in this community.

Housing

  • OCP adopted in 2018 identified areas for Attached Multi-unit

development (i.e., apartments, townhouses, rowhouses, duplexes)

  • Attached Multi-unit proposals and applications have primarily been

townhouses, rowhouses and duplexes

  • OCP’s Attached Multi-unit designation allows for maximum density of 1.0

FSR and 3 stories

  • Economically challenging to build Apartments at a density less than 1.0

FSR and 3 stories or less

  • Policies to encourage construction of Apartments:

– Density Averaging – Density Bonusing

SLIDE 16

Housing

Density Averaging

8.2.1 – Density Averaging whereby an increase in density on one portion of a development site may be permitted in exchange for reduced density on another portion of same site. Provide overall density doesn’t exceed 1.5 FSR or 6 storeys

Page 259 Presentation

OCP maximum 1.0 FSR

SLIDE 17

Housing

Density Bonusing

8.2.2 – Density Bonusing whereby additional density to build an apartment building is permitted in exchange for developer providing a significant community benefit in accordance with Zoning Bylaw. Overall density shall not exceed 1.5 FSR

  • r 6 storeys.

Neighborhood Centres

  • OCP adopted in 2018 identified areas for Neighbourhood

Centres (i.e., mixed-use commercial/residential) 8.4.1 - Clarifies maximum allowable height:

  • Commercial use building shall not exceed 2 stories
  • Mixed-use commercial/residential building shall not

exceed 4 stories

  • Residential only buildings allowed, provided they are

comprehensively developed along with commercial

  • buildings. These buildings shall not exceed 4 stories
  • Buildings utilizing density bonus shall not exceed 6 stories.

Introduces minimum commercial floor space requirements:

  • 8.4.2 - total minimum commercial gross floor area shall

not be less than 465 square metres (5,000 square feet) for a property equal to, or less than 0.2ha.

  • 8.4.3 - total minimum commercial gross floor area shall

not be less than 930 sq m (10,000 sq. ft.) on a property greater than 0.2 hectares.

  • 8.4.4 - Gross floor area of individual commercial units

shall not exceed 4,000 square metres (43,056 sq. ft.)

Future Employment Lands

  • Location of Future Employment Lands determined through

1996 CVCDP and further formalized through OCP process.

  • Two proposed changes to allow for concentrated development:
  • Relocate proposed park from centre of Future Employment

Lands (Area K) to corner of Dewdney and Ihles Avenue (Area I)

  • Eliminate Multi-unit area (Area J)
  • These would be proposed as part of Implementation Plan

this fall.

  • 8.5.1 - need for detailed industrial business demand and land

supply study to determine full scope of appropriate businesses.

  • 8.5.5 - Live-work units along the Future Employment Lands

periphery, (Dewdney Trunk Road and Ihles Avenue) opposite residential areas with a similar architectural expression as adjacent residential development to provide an aesthetic and compatible interface between industrial and residential areas.
