Proposal

This bylaw proposes an amendment to Land Use Bylaw 6300 to rezone the parcel listed above. This will allow for new low density residential Development as planned in the approved Watermark Outline Plan. Additionally, it will also rezone the existing Senator Joyce Fairbairn Middle School Site and its associated sports fields  to Public Building (P-B) and Park and Recreation (P-R), which are conventional land use Districts that are commonly used for other School Sites within the city.  

Amendment to the River Valley Area Redevelopment Plant (RVARP) to update the position of the Safe Development Setback Line in relation to the developable area for Riverstone Phases 18 and 19.

This update to the Safe Development Setback Line, shown on three maps in the RVARP, is required in order for the Land Use Bylaw Amendment proposed under Bylaw 6472 to occur. 

Proposal

Amendment to Land Use Bylaw 6300 to rezone the parcel listed above within the Agnes Davison neighbourhood. The purpose of the proposed Bylaw 6485 is to allow the development of a four-unit townhouse, which is not allowed in the current R-L zoning. The Bylaw 6485 regulates parking, density, building height and building setbacks. 

The bylaw will change the parcel from Valley (V); Future Urban Development (FUD); and Low Density Residential (R-L) to Low Density Residential (R-L); Park and Recreation (P-R); and Valley (V). This is to ensure the parcel is zoned appropriately for development with areas below the Safe Development Setback Line zones so that they cannot be developed.

Mayor Hyggen says he wants to keep bringing this item to Council annually, rather than as a one-time declaration, to continually highlight Logan’s impact and the importance of talking to your family about becoming an organ donor.
