Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0151-00 Planning & Development Report Page 9  An Ecosystem Development Plan, prepared by Lisa Blanchard, R.P. Bio., of Envirowest Consultants Inc. and dated December 03, 2024 was reviewed by staff and found to be generally acceptable, with some modifications to content and format of the report still required. The finalized report and recommendations will be incorporated into the Development Permit. Sensitive Ecosystems (Green Infrastructure Areas) Development Permit Requirement  The subject property falls within the Sensitive Ecosystems DPA for Green Infrastructure Areas in the OCP, given the location of a Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BCS) Green Infrastructure Network (GIN) Hub located directly east of the site. The Sensitive Ecosystems (Green Infrastructure Areas) Development Permit is required to protect environmentally sensitive and/or unique natural areas from the impacts of development.  The City of Surrey Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BCS) Green Infrastructure Network (GIN) map, adopted by Council on July 21, 2014 (Corporate Report No. R141; 2014), identifies BCS Hub I and a Regional BCS Corridor directly adjacent to the subject site, in the Little Campbell River BCS management area, with a High ecological value.  The BCS further identifies the GIN area adjacent to the subject site as having a moderate and low habitat suitability, and the adjacent site to the east as having Moderate habitat suitability rating, derived from species at risk presence, species accounts and known ecosystem habitat inventories. The proposal does not propose any encroachment onto the adjacent BCS corridor, and proposes a 1.5 m landscape buffer along the eastern portion of the site.  The development proposal is not anticipated to impact the adjacent GIN corridor.  An Ecosystem Development Plan, prepared by Lisa Blanchard, R.P. Bio., of Envirowest Consultants Inc. and dated December 03, 2024 was reviewed by staff and found to be generally acceptable, with some modifications to content and format of the report still required. The finalized report and recommendations will be incorporated into the Development Permit. Form and Character Development Permit Requirement  The proposed development is subject to a Development Permit for Form and Character and is also subject to the urban design guidelines in the South Campbell Heights Local Area Plan (LAP).  The proposed development generally complies with the Form and Character Development Permit guidelines in the OCP and the design guidelines in the South Campbell Heights Local Area Plan (LAP).  The applicant has worked with staff to minimize the impact of the proposed retaining walls, increase street presence of the office component in the buildings, and add building articulation to visually break up the large building massing.  Schematic drawings have been provided with the General Development Permit, that include some examples of building elevations and precedents of buildings for one end user, or for a multi-tenant building. At a future Detailed Development Permit, full architectural drawings will be provided that will follow these precedents, as well as the detailed guidelines in the South Campbell Heights Local Area Plan.
