DISCUSSION:

Rezoning of this property is opposed by the Planning Department for the
following reasons:

1. Contrary to OCP designation - This block and adjacent blocks are
designated for development to apartments of RM-4 density.

2. Delay re-development of area into multi-family - The presence of new, low
density buildings such as single-family or duplex residences would further
delay re-development into the intended apartment uses, and increase the
potential conflict between newer houses and apartment developments.

Proximity to another duplex - The Zoning Bylaw stipulates that a duplex
must be at least 180 metres away from anot? = duplex c: he same side of
the same street. The nearest duplex is 14 v‘etres awe

The applicant maintains that the presence or new homes on the block will
prevent the development of apartment buildings in the near future. Site
visits to the area found that there are four new single-family homes on the
east end of the 1900 block of Manning. However, the majority of the remaining
homes and those on adjacent blocks are not brand new and have a re-development
potential in the mid term.
