Surrey 7922-0234-00 2023 streamside DP planning report

The subject property falls within the Sensitive Ecosystems Development Permit Area (DPA) for Streamside Areas in the OCP, given the location of an existing Class B (yellow-coded) ditch which flows along the south property line. The Sensitive Ecosystems (Streamside Areas) Development Permit is required to protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems associated with streams from the impacts of development. • In accordance with Part 7A Streamside Protection setbacks of the Zoning By-law, a Class B (yellow-coded) ditch requires a minimum streamside setback of 7 metres, as measured from the top of bank. The proposed setbacks (Appendix I) comply with the requirements outlined in the Zoning By-law. • The riparian area will be protected through the registration of a combined Restrictive Covenant/Right-of-Way against the property to ensure safeguarding and maintenance of the Protection Area in perpetuity, in compliance with the OCP. • The project QEP submitted a landscape plan to improve and safeguard the riparian ecosystem adjacent to the developable portion of the site with a vegetated buffer. The proposed additional trees to augment the buffer include 8 native tree species consisting of firs, maples, cherry, hawthorn and ash. The applicant is also proposing to retain 12 existing mature trees. • An Ecosystem Development Plan, prepared by Alexander Drake, R.P. Bio., of Phoenix Environmental Services Ltd. and dated February 2023 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.
