Surrey planning report 7922-0210-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0210-00 Planning & Development Report Page 4 Parks, Recreation & Culture: The applicant is recommending the removal of City tree ci2 (hedge unit) as it would conflict with the proposed front fence. Parks Planning notes that as the requested variance is not related to tree removal, the review of City trees will be deferred to the Building Permit application. The closest active park is Ware Park and is 230 metres away, and the closest natural area is the 131E – Greenbelt and is 70 metres away. POLICY & BY-LAW CONSIDERATIONS Height Variance • The applicant is requesting the following variance: o to vary the maximum principal building height of the "Single Family Residential (RF) Zone" from 7.3 metres to 8.7 metres for a roof pitch less than 1:4. • According to Part 1 “Definitions” of Zoning Bylaw 12000, building height for single family dwellings is measured from the average finished grade level. This is determined by averaging the finished grades at all building faces surrounding the perimeter of a building to the highest point on a building with a flat roof. • The subject site slopes upward approximately two (2) metres from the rear (south) portion of the site to the front (north) portion of the site. The proposed building height is 1.4 metres higher than the maximum height allowed under the "Single Family Residential (RF) Zone" due to the increase in grade on the north side of the site. This creates a higher average finished grade level. • The proposed increase in principal building height is not expected to have a negative visual impact on surrounding properties in the neighbourhood and due to the massing, will not be visible from Marine Drive. The proposed single-family dwelling will appear to have a building height of seven (7) metres from Marine Drive (2 storeys high), similar to houses within the immediate area. • Houses along the north side of Marine Drive are located at an elevation approximately two (2) metres higher than houses on the south side. As a result, the proposed increase in height is not expected to obstruct any views to the south for residents north of Marine Drive. • The proposed building form is appropriate for this part of South Surrey. Various new houses constructed along Marine Drive have incorporated a similar flat roof design. Construction of the proposed single-family dwelling would emulate other new houses in the area, allowing for a similar streetscape along Marine Drive. • Construction of the proposed single-family dwelling would allow for the redevelopment of a lot that has remained vacant since 2016, completing the pattern of development within the neighbourhood block.
