Surrey planning report 7922-0183-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0183-01 Planning & Development Report Page 4 Context & Background • The site is 4,654 square metres in size and is currently zoned "One Acre Residential Zone (RA)". The site is designated Urban in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and Townhouses (25 upa max) in the South Newton Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP). • The properties to the north and south have been constructed as townhouse developments. Both Development Applications (No. 7913-0092-00 to the north and No. 7908-0117-00 to the south) amended the South Newton NCP from Townhouses (15 upa max) to Townhouses (25 upa max) and Townhouse (20 upa max) respectively, to achieve moderate increases in density over the original NCP land use designation. • In December 2024, as a HAF initiative, Council approved an update to the South Newton NCP to adjust a number of the land use designations to better reflect current market conditions. Through this process the designation of the subject site and surrounding properties was updated to Townhouse (25 upa max). • The site is moderately sloped (6.7%), with the highest elevation on the southwest corner, and the lowest elevation at the northeast corner. • A Development Variance Permit was initially supported to reduce the minimum side yard on flanking lane setback (north) of the RM-30 Zone from 4.5 metres to 4.2 metres, and to reduce the minimum side yard setback (south) from 6.0 metres to 3.1. Having received Council support, the applicant now seeks further minor changes to the original variances plus additional setback requirements of the RM-30 Zone. DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL Planning Considerations • Development Application No. 7922-0183-00 received Third Reading on November 20, 2023. The Development Application saw an amendment to the South Newton NCP to redesignate the site from Townhouses (15 upa max) to Townhouses (25 upa max), a rezoning from "One Acre Residential Zone (RA)" to "Multiple Residential 30 Zone (RM-30)", a Development Variance Permit to reduce side yard setbacks, and a Development Permit for Form & Character to allow a 29-unit townhouse development. • The density in the NCP is being considered as 25 units per acre on gross area due to the lane, which was not shown in the original NCP, and was introduced as part of the development to the north. This is consistent with the site to the north (Development Application No. 7913- 0092-00), as well as Development Application Nos. 7919-0011-00 and 7918-0252-00, located further to the north, which were both affected by the addition of the lane and took road and lane dedications into account when calculating unit density. • In December 2024, as a HAF initiative, Council approved an update to the South Newton NCP to adjust a number of the land use designations to better reflect current market conditions. Through this process the designation of the subject site and surrounding properties was updated to Townhouse (25 upa max). As a result, the NCP amendment that was proposed with the initial application is no longer required.
