Mushata, Corporate Officer ~ Maple Ridge - TO: His Worship Mayor Dan Ruimy and Members of Council MEETING DATE: May 21, 2024 FILE NO: 2023-396-RZ FROM: SUBJECT: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: cow Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 Housekeeping Amendments First and Second Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 was adopted by Council on December 8, 2020 and has been well received for its ease of use, clarity, and detail by the public and by staff. The Zoning Bylaw is a large, very complex and detailed document that regulates development in the City, and it is important to provide clear, concise language that can be easily and consistently interpreted by all users. As can be expected for a Bylaw of this size and complexity, some additional minor corrections and clarifications have been identified. Thus, these housekeeping amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 are provided for Council consideration in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024, attached as Appendix A. Refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendment to the Zoning Bylaw. In summary, the text amendments are minor in nature and include the following: (Note: the numbering below corresponds to the clause numbers of the attached Zone Amending Bylaw.) 2. Revisions to Section 302.4 for Split Zoned Lots clarify the requirements for development on lots that contain more than one Zone designation. Where a use is limited to a maximum number per Lot, that limit shall apply to the entire Lot, and where a specific use in a Zone requires a minimum Lot Area, that requirement applies only to the area of the lot that is Zoned for the use. 3. The amendments to the Principal and Accessory Uses and to the Lot Area and Dimensions are specific to a small portion of a Lot which is Zoned RS-2, and to a Lot which is Zoned RS-3. Refer to the plan attached as Appendix C. As per the Local Government Act, Section 464(2), when a Zoning Bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan, the City may waive the requirement to hold a Public Hearing. When a Public Hearing is waived under Section 464(2), the City must then give notice in accordance with Section 467 of the Local Government Act which requires that the notice states the purpose of Page 1 of 4 the Zoning Bylaw; the lands that are subject of the Bylaw; the place, times and dat.es where the Bylaw may be inspected; and is published in a newspaper the same as for a Public Hearing. Through this process, the Public Hearing was waived for the last Housekeeping Zoning Bylaw Amendment adopted on January 30, 2024. It can be expected that additional changes to the Zoning Bylaw will continue to occur from time to time as it is used, and as new situations and needs arise in the course of normal business. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024 be given first and second readings and; 2. That a Public Hearing for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024 be waived in accordance with the Local Government Act Section 464(2). DISCUSSION: 1. Background: On December 8, 2020, the new Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2079 was adopted by Council. Since then, four housekeeping amendments have been adopted by Council. On February 22, 2022 Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7749-202 7 was adopted, on July 26, 2022 Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7827-2022 was adopted, on February 14, 2023 Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7894-2022 was adopted, and on January 30, 2024 Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7928-2023 was adopted. The Zoning Bylaw is a large complex and detailed document that regulates development in the City, and it is important to provide clear, concise language that can be easily and consistently interpreted by all users. As can be expected for a document of this size and complexity, some additional minor corrections and clarifications have been identified. 2. Planning Analysis: The clause numbers in the following discussion of the amendments are in the same numerical order as in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024 (Appendix A). For ease of use, refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendments in the Zoning Bylaw. Clause 2: The amendments to Section 302.4. Split Zoned Lots are to clarify requirements for a Lot that contains more than one Zone. A Split Zoned Lot is a parcel of land that has more than one Zone within the boundaries of the Lot. Where possible, the Lot may be developed with permitted Uses for each Zone, but only within the boundaries of that Zone. The addition of sub-section 302.4.3 requires that, when a use is limited to a maximum number per Lot, that limit shall apply to the entire Lot. For example, a Single Detached Residential use permits only one dwelling per Lot. If a Split Zoned Lot includes two different Residential Zones, only one Single Detached Residential dwelling would be permitted on the Lot. Page 2 of 4 The addition of sub-section 302.4.4 requi res that, when a specific use in a Zone requires a minimum Lot Area, that requirement applies only to the area of the Lot that is Zoned for the use. For example, a Campground use requires a minimum Lot Area of 0.4 hectares in the CS-3 zone. If a Split Zoned Lot was partially Zoned CS -3, the Campground use would only be permitted within the CS-3 Zoned portion of t he Lot and only if the area were at least 0.4 hectares in area. Clause 3: The amendments to the RS-2 and RS -3 Zones are to clarify the Zoning on portions of two (2) lots (Appendix C) that utilized that Albion Area Density Bonus Amenity Contribution. The southern portion of the site was rezoned to RS-1 b with the Density Bonus that allow R-1 Zone requirements. The amendments to the Principal Uses in 610.2.2 and the Accessory Uses in 610.3.3 are specific to a small portion of a Lot which is Zoned RS-2 because it is outside the Urban Area Boundary. It is a Split Zoned Lot with the larger portion Zoned RS-1 b and the small portion Zoned RS-2. The amendment allows the small RS-2 portion to utilize the Principal and Accessory Uses of the R-1 Zone so they align with the Density Bonus uses on the larger portion of the lot. The amendment to Section 610.4 Lot Area and Dimensions deletes sub-section 610.4.3 which was intended to apply only to the RS-2 Zoned portion of Lot 37 as if it were a separate Lot. This clause is not required as the RS-2 portion is part of the Lot 37. The amendment to Section 611.4 Lot Area and Dimensions of the RS-3 Zone, is to add the requirement that sub-section 611 .4.4 is specific only to Lot 38. CONCLUSION: In summary, these text amendments are minor in nature and include the following: (Note: the numbering below corresponds to the clause numbers in the attached Amending Bylaw) Refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendment to the Zoning Bylaw. 2. Revisions to Section 302.4 for Split Zoned Lots clarify the requirements for development on lots that contain more than one Zone designation. Where a use is limited to a maximum number per Lot, that limit shall apply to the entire Lot, and where a specific use in a Zone requires a minimum Lot Area, that requirement applies only to the area of the lot that is Zoned for the use. 3. The amendments to the Principal and Accessory Uses and to the Lot Area and Dimensions are specific to a small portion of a Lot which is Zoned RS-2, and to a Lot which is Zoned RS-3. Refer to the plan attached as Appendix C. Page 3 of 4 It is recommended that first and second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996- 2024, and that at a Public Hearing be waived in accordance with the Local Government Act Section 464(2). As per the Local Government Act, Section 464(2), when a Zoning Bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan, the City may waive the requirement to hold a Public Hearing. When a Public Hearing is waived under Section 464(2), the City must then give notice in accordance with Section 467 of the Local Government Act which requires that the notice states the purpose of the Zoning Bylaw; the lands that are subject of the Bylaw; the place, times and dates where the Bylaw may be inspected; and is published in a newspaper the same as for a Public Hearing.
