SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from Urban Residential Zone (RS3) to
Compact Lot Residential Zone (RS6) to facilitate a two (2) lot subdivision as shown in Figure 4.
BACKGROUND
Applicant:
G. Basra
Owners:
B. Basra, S. Basra and G. Basra
Legal Description:
Lot 128 Section 17 Township 16 New Westminster District Plan 32820
OCP Designation
Urban Residential
Existing Zoning:
Urban Residential Zone (RS3)
Report No. PDS 058-2015
Page 2 of 5
Proposed Zoning:
Compact Lot Residential Zone (RS6)
Site Area:
835m 2 (0.21 acres)
Site Description:
The subject property is located at the corner of Beaver Street and Seal
Way within an established single-family neighbourhood (refer to Figure 1
and 2). The existing house will be demolished in conjunction with a future
subdivision application if the rezoning is adopted.
Surrounding Uses:
N:

E:
W:
Single-family residential (zoned RS3), with Peardonville Road
beyond;
Seal Way and single-family residential (zoned RS3) beyond;
Single-family residential (zoned RS3); and
Beaver Street with single-family residential (zoned RS3) beyond.
DISCUSSION
Context
1. The proposed development is located within the central urban area just south of
Peardonville Road. The surrounding area consists of a mature single-family residential
neighbourhood.
Peardonville Road located approximately 30m north of the subject
property, is identified as a frequent transit network corridor within the Transit Future Plan .
Mill Lake Park is located approximately 800m east of the subject property and Dormick Park
Elementary School is located approximately 240m west of the subject property. A property
in the same neighbourhood block proposed a rezoning (R12-021) to a Comprehensive
Development Zone (CD) to permit a proposed three lot subdivision (see Figure 2) with
minimum lot sizes of approximately 285m 2 (3,068ft2). The proposed rezoning was granted
third reading on October 7, 2013 however, the applicant chose not to pursue the rezoning,
and the file has since been closed.
Official Community Plan
2. The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the property as Urban Residential that is
characterized by neighbourhoods of "ground-oriented" housing at relatively low
densities. This type of housing can include detached houses, semi-detached houses, and
attached housing (such as cluster housing or townhouses) at relatively low densities. The
proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Urban Residential land use
designation. Furthermore, the proposed development meets the intent of broader OCP
objectives as follows:
a)
b)
c)
Objective 1.4- Support a Full Range of Housing Options
•
Increase housing choice and provide more avenues for affordable housing by
supporting multi-family developments, the creation of small residential lot,
street oriented townhouses and other innovative housing forms.
Objective 1.5 - Facilitate Affordable and Special Needs Housing
•
By providing a choice of density and built form, from secondary suites and
apartments to single-family homes, many segments of the population can
access housing.
Objective 5.2 - Encourage Innovative, Sensitive Infill and Redevelopment
•
In order to accommodate the City's anticipated population growth in the
coming years, infill and densification of the existing urban area is required.
L:\R15\R15-004\PDS 058-2015.docx
Report No. PDS 058-2015
•
Page 3 of 5
The land base on which urban development can occur is limited, due to
topographical constraints and the reality of the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Encourage a mix of housing types in areas of infill, including strata and feesimple duplexes, quads, row-houses, and narrow-lot detached housing.
Affordable Housing Strategy
3. The Affordable Housing Strategy (endorsed by Council November 7, 2011 ), similar to the
OCP objectives and policies, encourages the development of complete, connected and
livable neighbourhoods with diverse housing types (Objective 4). With policies that support
affordable housing development close to transit, jobs and services and the creation of a
variety of housing types to suit different needs related to household type, tenure and
income. The applicant's proposal is consistent with this strategy.
Zoning, Scale and Density
4. A rezoning application is proposed to allow for a future two (2) lot subdivision with a
minimum lot size of 402m 2 (4,327ft2 ) (see Figure 3). Under the RS3 zone the minimum lot
size for an interior lot is 540m 2 (5,812ft2 ) and 610m 2 (6,566ft2 ) for a corner lot. The subject
property is too small to accommodate a two lot subdivision under the current RS3 zoning
and therefore the applicant has proposed rezoning the subject property to RS6 which has a
minimum lot size for both interior lots and corner lots of 300m 2 (3,229ft2 ).
5. A proposed staff initiated text amendment to the RS6 and RS6-C Zones received 3rd
reading by Council on April 27, 2015 (Report No. PDS 047-2015). The Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure has given approval to the proposed staff initiated text
amendment bylaw and therefore the proposed text amendment will be brought forward to
Council for adoption. If the bylaw is adopted the maximum density of lots greater than
420m 2 will be amended from a maximum floor space ratio (FSR) of 0.5 to a maximum gross
floor area of 273m 2 . As this rezoning application proposes an RS6 lot that is greater than
420m 2 , any new houses would be required to comply with the amended RS6 zoning
regulations.
6. The proposed rezoning to RS6 is reasonable given its location within the City Centre,
complies with policies within the OCP and its close proximity to major amenities and a
frequent transit network corridor.
7. The OCP restricts the number of secondary suites in new subdivisions to a maximum of
50%, however, secondary suites are not permitted within the RS6 Zone.
Trees
8. There are two trees located on the subject property, one is located in the north west corner
and the other is located in the south west corner. Any tree removal from the property will
require a Tree Cutting Permit, in accordance with the Tree Protection Bylaw. It is the
applicant's responsibility to obtain all required permits from the City's Parks, Recreation and
Culture department, prior to the removal of any trees from the property. Under a future
subdivision application the applicant will be required to provide an arborist report to verify
the health and safety of the on-site trees.
9. In accordance with the Development Bylaw, 2011, staff recommends the applicant provide
cash-in-lieu for up to six (6) street trees in conjunction with the future subdivision when
L:\R 15\R 15-004\PDS 058-2015.docx
Report No. PDS 058-2015
Page 4 of 5
additional serving details will be known. In addition one yard tree per proposed lot is
required in accordance with the Development Bylaw No. 2070-2011. These yard trees will
be secured through the future subdivision approval process.
Subdivision
10. The proposed preliminary subdivision layout (refer to Figure 4) to create a two (2) lot
subdivision will be reviewed for acceptability by the Approving Officer if the rezoning
application receives third reading from Council and the applicant makes the necessary
subdivision application. At that time, staff will conduct a formal subdivision review and exact
dimensions of the proposed lots will be finalized.
Site Development Considerations
11. A staff review of the works and services (dated March 3, 2015) necessary to support this
application has been completed and is outlined within Attachment B, the details of which will
be incorporated into the Development Agreement, which is a prerequisite for adoption of the
Zoning Bylaw amendment.
12. In addition to the above comments, the developer is responsible to adhere to all other
legislation, which may apply to the land, including:
(a)
complying with all applicable City bylaws, such as Official Community Plan, 2005,
Development Bylaw, 2011, Tree Protection Bylaw, 2010, Building Bylaw, 2003, Sign
Bylaw, 2001, Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw, 2010, and Development Cost
Charges Imposition Bylaw administered by the City; and
(b)
obtaining all other necessary approvals and permits on such terms as they may be
issued, including but not limited to a development permit, tree removal permit,
subdivision approval, building permit, soil removal/deposit permit, Ministry of Health
permit, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure approval and Ministry of
Environment approval.
Communication Plan
If the zoning amendment bylaw is supported by Council, Bylaw No. 2425-2015, cited as
"Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw, 2014, Amendment Bylaw No. 46" will proceed to a Regular Meeting
of Council, where it will be considered for first and second readings. If supported by Council, the
Rezoning Bylaw will proceed to a Public Hearing. The City will notify in writing the owners and
occupiers of land within a 100 meter radius of the property and provide Council with copies of
any feedback that is received.
FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATION
No financial plan implications are anticipated. Any capital works implications arising from this
application have been addressed through the rezoning process.
IMPACTS ON COUNCIL POLICIES, STRATEGIC PLAN AND/OR COUNCIL DIRECTION
The proposal furthers the goals and objectives of the City's Official Community Plan and
Affordable Housing Strategy to create a complete community where residents have access to a
full range of housing opportunities for people at all income levels and life stages. Densification in
select areas will help meet future housing needs.

SUBSTANTIATION OF RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports the rezoning of the subject property from Urban Residential Zone (RS3) to
Compact Lot Residential Zone (RS6) to permit the development of a two (2) lot residential
subdivision given that the proposed development is in keeping with the broad objectives of the
OCP that encourages densification and the establishment of a variety of housing types within
the urban area.

Drainage Collection and Disposal
ENGINEERING DIVISION
A storm water management plan showing how onsite drainage will be accommodated offsite.
All offsite storm water works and services including new installations and upgrades to existing
offsite systems required by the storm water management plan shall be designed and
constructed in accordance with said storm water management plan.
Prior to any further development on the Lands, to provide an updated storm water management
plan showing how drainage on the Lands will be accommodated including detention. All storm
water works and services including new installations and upgrades to existing offsite systems
required by the updated storm water management plan shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with said updated storm water management plan.
Water Distribution Domestic and Fire Fighting
The existing 150mm diameter AC water main fronting the property on Seal Way does not meet
the minimum pipe size requirement of the By-law and is nearing end of life. It is likely that the
watermain will be damaged during construction of the roadworks required on Seal Way. The
following recommendations apply to this rezoning application:
o
Replace the existing 150mm diameter AC water main on Seal Way from beaver
Street to Otter Street with a 200mm diameter water main. Abandon and transfer
all connections from the 150mm diameter AC water main to the new 200mm
diameter water main. Provision is to be made for future extension of this new
200mm diameter watermain, north and south along Beaver Street, south on Otter
Street from Seal Way and east along Seal Way east from Otter Street. The City
agrees to pay for 75% of the cost of installing the main to an upset limit of
$21,420. This would not include asphalt restoration since road works would be
required of the development.
o
Though the existing 200mm diameter watermain on Beaver Street is adequately
sized and in good condition, it is AC and susceptible to failure if roadworks are
performed in its vicinity. If frontage roadworks are required for this application, it
is recommended all excavation and compaction performed over or near the
watermain be performed using low impact and non-vibratory equipment. If the
watermain is broken during, or as a result of construction of the roadworks, the
developer will be required to replace the existing 200mm AC watermain on
Beaver Street from Seal Way north to the existing 200mm diameter stub at the
intersection of Peardonville Road. Provide securities for possible watermain
damage and replacement.
The existing 18mm water service to this property from Beaver Street will need to be
replaced as part of this application. A new servicing strategy for each building on the site
is required.
Portions of the above noted works may be eligible for Latecomer Charges. (900-9-0I)

FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
ENGINEERING DIVISION
Upon further development an additional works and services review will apply related to that
application. Listed below are some items to consider.
Bylaws
•
the applicant is to be familiar with the Development Bylaw to ensure an understanding of
possible future Works and services that may impact the development
•
the applicant is to review the Works and Services identified in the Development
Agreement and how they may impact the building .
Stormwater Management
•
on-site infiltration for the 1 in 100 year rainfall event will be required. Ensure that
adequate room and proper placement has been reviewed.
Onsite infiltration system requirements:
•
•
•
on-site percolation or infiltration test on the site;
footing depth to be 200 mm above infiltration system and minimum footing
elevation to be specified; and
infiltration system to be below elevations of footing of adjacent buildings.
•
If a geotechnical engineer recommends that on-site infiltration not be used than Cash in
lieu for detention will be paid for detention.
•
As the Lands are situated above the Abbotsford-Sumas Aquifer, ground water protection
is vital; therefore, provide a storm water management plan showing how drainage on the
Lands will be accommodated onsite. All works and services required by the storm water
management plan shall be designed and constructed in accordance with the Storm
Water Source Control Bylaw 2045-2011 and amendments thereto. This plan shall
include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
infiltration facilities constructed below the seasonal frost level capable of retaining the
100 year, 24 hour rainfall event including sediment and erosion control devices which
shall be maintained throughout the entire construction phase;
pre-treatment source controls, such as rain-gardens, bio-filtration swales, or an
approved alternative designed to accommodate the runoff for the 6 month, 24 hour
event from all paved areas in order to protect the underlying aquifer. An approved
alternative such as Filterra Bioretention Systems is acceptable;
300mm of absorbent soils placed on all landscaped and lawn areas;
defined major flow paths; and
an Operation and Maintenance protocol.
All storm water works and services identified on the storm water management plan shall be
designed and constructed prior to any occupancy of any building or structure erected or placed
on the Lands.
The slab elevation of all buildings shall be 150mm above the 100-year storm hydraulic grade
line for storm sewers, roadways or failsafe conveyance routes, whichever is higher.
•
Provide Statutory Rights of Way for all detention and infiltration facilities.
