Capital Projects Community Amenity Contributions (CACs) • On December 16, 2019, Council approved the City’s Community Amenity Contribution and Density Bonus Program Update (Corporate Report No. R224; 2019). The intent of that report was to introduce a new City-wide Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) and updated Density Bonus Policy to offset the impacts of growth from development and to provide additional funding for community capital projects identified in the City’s Annual Five-Year Capital Financial Plan. • The proposed development will be subject to the Tier 1 Capital Plan Project CACs. The contribution will be payable at the rate applicable at the time of Final Subdivision Approval. The current rate is $4,000 per new unit. • The proposed development will not be subject to the Tier 2 Capital Plan Project CACs as the proposal complies with the densities in the OCP designation. Affordable Housing Strategy • On April 9, 2018, Council approved the City’s Affordable Housing Strategy (Corporate Report No. R066; 2018) requiring that all new rezoning applications for residential development contribute $1,000 per new unit to support the development of new affordable housing. The funds collected through the Affordable Housing Contribution will be used to purchase land for new affordable rental housing projects. • The applicant will be required to contribute $1,000 per new lot to support the development of new affordable housing. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT • Pre-notification letters were sent on March 29, 2023, and were resent on April 3, 2023, to address a mapping error with the letter. The Development Proposal Signs were installed on March 28, 2023. Staff received the following responses from residents (staff comments in italics): o One resident expressed support for the proposed streamside setback variance. o One resident expressed opposition to the proposed streamside setback variance. (Due to the natural curve of the watercourse, the proposed streamside setback will range from 20 metres to 37 metres. In support of the proposed variance, the Project QEP prepared an Ecosystem Development Plan (EDP) and Impact Mitigation Plan (IMP) which indicate that the proposed subdivision and future house construction, even with the reduced streamside setback, will not negatively impact the watercourse or riparian area. The reports were peer reviewed by an independent QEP.
