Surrey planning report 7922-0129-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0129-00 Planning & Development Report Page 3 • A holistic approach to address infrastructure issues, through a neighbourhood-wide engineering servicing strategy, is necessary to accurately service the proposed denser development for the area. Staff are concerned that piecemeal development would exacerbate drainage problems and create sanitary constraints in the area, and set a precedent for further proposals in advance of the development of an engineering servicing strategy through a neighbourhood planning process. • The School District has indicated that it is not supportive of the proposal. The District’s current student projections do not reflect unplanned considerable increases in density, and piecemeal urban development is likely to lead to capacity issues at the catchment schools. There are no current plans to expand these schools to accommodate urban development in the area, and any future school expansion plans should happen in concert with a neighbourhood policy planning process. • While long-term it is expected that there will be a plan developed that can accommodate urban development in this neighbourhood, it is not currently within the City’s Community Planning Division’s work plan and it is not expected in the foreseeable future. At this time there are many significant planning processes underway to support urban development in transit-oriented areas (e.g. Fraser Highway) which are presently taking precedence over development in this area. The initiation of a neighbourhood policy planning process would also require support from the majority of neighbourhood residents. Based on the feedback that staff have received through the prenotification process, the majority of neighbourhood residents do not currently want significant change in neighbourhood character such as urban redevelopment.
