RTS No.: 01698
CC File No.:
TO: Vancouver City Council
FROM: Director of Current Planning
SUBJECT: Text Amendment - Zoning and Development Fee By-law [RS-7S]
RECOMMENDATION
THAT if the application of the Director of Current Planning to create an RS-7S District Schedule and rezone areas from RS-1A or RS-2 to RS-7S is approved at Public Hearing, the Zoning and Development Fee By-law No. 5585 be amended to reference RS-7S generally in accordance with Appendix A; and
FURTHER THAT the Director of Legal Services be instructed to bring forward the necessary by-law at the time of enactment.
GENERAL MANAGER'S COMMENTS
The General Manager of Community Services RECOMMENDS approval of the foregoing.
COUNCIL POLICY
There is no directly applicable Council policy.
PURPOSE AND SUMMARY
This report recommends that the Zoning and Development Fee By-law be amended to include references to the RS-7S District Schedule if and when it is enacted.
BACKGROUND
On June 13, 2000 City Council referred to Public Hearing, an application to rezone RS-1A or RS-2 zoned areas in Kitsilano, Douglas Park, Sunnyside/Riley Park, Turner/Ferndale and Grandview-Woodlands to a new RS-7S zoning. The Public Hearing for that application is pending.
DISCUSSION
The staff report dated May 24, 2000 should have included a recommendation to amend the Zoning and Development Fee By-law to reference the new RS-7S zoning, if approved at Public Hearing. The above motions will correct that oversight and allow the Fee By-law to be amended at the time of enactment. The amendments will establish different Development Permit fees for outright and conditional uses in RS-7S, similar to RS-6. In addition, a fee will be assigned for one-family dwellings which require the Director of Planning permission for an increased floor space ratio.
CONCLUSION
Staff conclude and recommend that the Zoning and Development Fee By-law be amended to reference the RS-7S District Schedule if and when enacted.
