Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0377-00 Planning & Development Report Page 8 Sustainability Considerations  The applicant has met all of the typical sustainable development criteria, as indicated in the Sustainable Development Checklist. POLICY & BY-LAW CONSIDERATIONS Regional Growth Strategy  The subject property is designated General Urban in the Regional Growth Strategy (RGS).  The proposed development complies with the General Urban RGS designation. Official Community Plan Land Use Designation  The subject property is designated Town Centre in the Official Community Plan (OCP).  In accordance with the OCP, the Town Centre designation is intended to support a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 2.5 within “Guildford Town Centre”. As noted in the OCP, the intent of this land-use designation is to support the development of each town centre as the primary commercial, institutional and civic heart of their community.  The Town Centre designation allows additional bonus densities in select areas in exchange for the provision of sufficient community amenities in accordance with approved Council policies. The requested increased density under the Town Centre designation from 2.5 FAR to 4.3 FAR (gross density) can be accommodated in accordance with the City’s Density Bonus Program.  As the gross density exceeds the maximum 2.5 FAR permitted in the OCP for Town Centre designated properties located within the “Guildford Town Centre” boundary, the proposed mid-rise mixed-use building will require an OCP Text Amendment to allow a higher density than currently permitted in the Town Centre designation. Amendment Rationale  The subject site is located within an Urban Centre, within close proximity to an existing Frequent Transit Network (152 Street) and within walking distance of exiting bus service (#320 – Surrey Central Station and #375 – Guildford).  The Town Centre designation is primarily intended to accommodate high-density built forms.  The proposed development will be subject to the Tier 2 Capital Plan Project CACs for the proposed density greater than the OCP designation, as described later in the Community Amenity Contribution section of this report.
