MEMORANDUM JUL 7 - 19

TO: BeRe Kirk DATE: June 24, 1986
City Administrator

FROM: W. Brown
Director of Community Planning

SUBJECT: RS=-2 Omnibus Rezoning Bylaw

CTL

RECOMMENDATION: That City Counci! direct the Clerks! Office
to prepare a bylaw rezoning properties

shown on the attached map and list from
RS-2 to RS-~1.

COMMENTS:

The Planning Committee have been recelving a number of
davelopment variance requests during the past few months for
relaxing sideyard requirements of houses being constructed on
RS=-2 zoned lots. The reason for the requests are that the lots
are typical city sized lots or small lots, which do not conform
to RS-2 minimum fot size requirements.

Having reviewed the matter It Is the Planning Committee's
suggestion to City Council, It would be better to rezone the
Properties in question to an RS~1I designation. What this
rezoning would accomplish ts to remove the necessity for a
development variance permit for each buliding permit to relax
the RS-2, six foot side yard requirement. :

This rezoning will not provide any additional development
potential for individual lots, but would give some additional
potential if several lots were combined and resubdivided. In:

the latter case the City would be able to obtain Improvements
normally required at the time of subdivision.

In conctuston, the Planning Committee are suggesting to City
Council, that the Clerk's Office be directed to prepare a bylaw
rezoning the RS=-2 lots Included on the attached map and. list.
