13. APPLICATION BY FOUGERE ARCHITECTURE INC. FOR REZONING AT 7371 NO. 4 ROAD FROM THE “SINGLE DETACHED (RS1/F)” ZONE TO THE “MEDIUM DENSITY TOWNHOUSES (RTM2)” ZONE (File Ref. No. 12-8060-20-010457, RZ 20-919143) (REDMS No. 7183342, 7183370) R23/9-7 It was moved and seconded That Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500, Amendment Bylaw 10457, for the rezoning of 7371 No. 4 Road from the “Single Detached (RS1/F)” zone to the “Medium Density Townhouses (RTM2)” zone, be introduced and given first reading. The question on the motion was not called as discussion took place on retaining as many of the flowering trees as possible to reduce the ecological impact. Staff were directed to examine the possibility of retaining some of the trees and provide an update at Public Hearing. In reply to queries from Council, staff advised that (i) when the strata is formed the Statutory Right of Way is registered on title for each lot created, (ii) when replanting trees there are a number of things to consider such as the right space for the tree to ensure sufficient space for growth, (iii) the tree protection bylaw states a 2:1 ratio and should the developer not be able to meet that a, cash-in- lieu is provided to the City to plant trees on city property, and (iv) compensation will be received for the removal of the tree on City property and the replacement tree is yet to be determined. The question on the motion was then called and it was CARRIED with Cllr. Wolfe opposed.
