Surrey planning report 7922-0193-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0193-00 Planning & Development Report Page 4 Context & Background • The 0.982-hectare subject property is located at 10128 Grace Road in South Westminster. • The site is designated “Mixed Employment” in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and “Business Park” & “Open Space” in the South Westminster NCP. Since the Council initiated rezoning process in 2003, the site has been zoned “Business Park 2 Zone” (IB-2) to match the intent of the NCP (refer to Corporate Report R034). A map showing the location of the subject site within the NCP area can be found in Appendix I. • The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject site from IB-2 Zone to “Light Impact Industrial Zone (IL)”. • Truck Parking Facilities are only permitted in the Light Impact Industrial Zone (IL), High Impact Industrial Zone (IH), and some CD Zoned sites. The current zoning of IB-2 does not permit truck parking or any other transportation industry use. • The applicant has previously applied for TUPs to authorize the temporary use of the site for truck parking. The original TUP, Application No. 7907-0069-00, was approved with a two-year time limit. A three-year extension was granted under Application No. 7914-0046-00 which expired on February 20, 2017. The subject site has been used as an unauthorized truck parking facility since the expiry of the second TUP in 2017. • The applicant applied for a third TUP in 2018 under Application No. 7918-0420-00. Staff note that Section 497(2) of the Local Government Act 2015, sets the requirement that a temporary use permit may be renewed only once. Therefore, Application No. 7918-0420-00 was returned to the applicant and the file was closed as staff concluded that the City had no legal authority to extend a TUP a third time. • The northeastern portion of the site is encumbered by a GVS&DD sanitary SRW as shown in Appendix III (boundaries are approximate). The existing GVS&DD sanitary sewer is located within the 13.0 m wide Zone A of the SRW. Zone B extends 17.0m wide beyond Zone A. The applicant must respect the following load restrictions: o Zone A has a loading restriction of 5 kPa above original construction grade, and a live load restriction of 5,000 kg gross vehicle weight (maximum). o Zone B has a dead load restriction of 57 kPa above original construction grade. • The City’s mapping system identifies a Class C (green-coded) watercourse running along the north-east property line within the GVS&DD sanitary SRW. Should Council determine that there is merit in allowing the subject rezoning application to proceed, the applicant will be required to have a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) confirm the classification of the watercourse in order to determine whether streamside setbacks and protection measures are applicable.
