DESCRIPTION:

“BACKGROUND:

RECOMMENDATION:

Both requests ere from the same applicant to rezone two RS-1
duplex lots. on Pitt River Road to RM3 to permit the conversion
of two duplexes to two four-plexes.

R#8/75: Lot 107, D.L. 255, Plan 43925
R#9/75: Lot 103, D.L. 255, Plan 43925

The two lots in question are presently occupied by 2 new

duplexes. The size of the lots is 13,400 sq. ft. and 14,200

sq. ft. respectively. The conversion to four units each will
produce a density of more than 12 units/acre and this will

require the RM-3 zoning. If this is permitted, it would imply

that the City is in favour of spot apartment zoning in predominantly
single-family residential areas, and it would be difficult to

deny other similar applications.

These two applicatiovus were considered by the Planning and
Zoning Committee in its August 28, 1975 meeting and the
Committee recommended that they be rejected ch pasis that the
Committee is not in favour of spot apartment zoning.
