EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
HY Engineering proposes to rezone approximately 4.03 ha (10.0 acres) of land in the Southeast
Phase of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan area to Residential Compact Lot Zones (R-CL(A), R-
CL(B), R-CL(RH)), Residential Zone R-1A and Comprehensive Development Zone (CD-52).
The rezoning will facilitate a mixed residential development consisting of approximately 56
single family lots, 17 rowhouse lots and 19 townhouses. Prior to any application being approved
in the Southeast Phase of Yorkson an overall layout plan, elementary school and
neighbourhood park sites, a community stormwater detention pond site and municipal trunk
services must first be provided. A Development Permit for the site is being processed in
conjunction with the rezoning application to secure an exterior design control agreement for the
single family lots at the time of subdivision. A future Development Permit (yet to be applied for)
will provide Council with the opportunity to review the form, character and siting on the
rowhouse and townhouse sites. The development application complies with the Willoughby
Community Plan and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. Final reading of the rezoning bylaw is
contingent upon completion of the twelve (12) development prerequisites outlined in this report.

PURPOSE:
This report is to advise and make recommendations with respect to Rezoning Bylaw No. 4730
and Development Permit No. 100570 in the Yorkson Neighbourhood of Willoughby.

BACKGROUND:
The subject site is currently zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 (8094m2 / 2 acre minimum
lot size) and is designated ‘Mixed Residential’ (8-10 units/acre) in the “Southeast Phase” of the
Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. The Yorkson Plan sets out a number of requirements that must
be addressed before ‘opening’ a development phase. There have been several previous
applications in the Southeast Phase that are likely to achieve final reading before this
application completes, thereby satisfying these plan requirements. However, if these existing
applications do not proceed, the applicant will be responsible for satisfying these conditions
prior to final adoption of the rezoning bylaw.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The proponent has applied to rezone 4.03 ha (10.0 acres) of land located in the Southeast
Phase of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan to Residential Compact Lot Zones (R-CL(A),
RCL(B), R-CL(RH), Residential Zone R-1A, and Comprehensive Development (CD-52) to
accommodate a mixed residential development consisting of approximately 56 single family lots
17 rowhouses and 19 townhouse units. Included in the development proposal is the dedication
of approximately 3,196m2 (34,402ft2) of greenways and environmental areas.

Surrounding land uses include:

North: 77A Avenue and suburban residential lots zoned SR-2 and designated for Mixed
Residential, but proposed to be the future location of the neighbourhood park;
South: Tara Farms property in the ALR but the subject of a “special study area” in the
North East Gordon Estates Neighbourhood Plan
East: suburban residential lots zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 and designated
for Mixed Residential in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan); and
West: suburban residential lots zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 and designated
for Townhouses in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan);

Density:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan designates the site as “Mixed Residential”. The plan permits
a minimum 20 units/ha (8 units/acre) and a maximum of 25 units/ha (10 units/acre) for the
“Mixed Residential”. The current proposal satisfies the density requirements of the Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan. The proposal results in an overall density of 10 units per acre.

Flex and Universal Housing:

In accordance with Section 4.2.1(9) of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan a minimum of 5% of
the units in any residential development shall provide either flex or universal housing prior to
final reading. The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan defines flex and universal housing as follows.

Flex Housing:” is an innovative approach to home design, renovation and construction

that emphasizes accessibility and is engineered to adapt at minimal cost to the
changing needs of occupants over their lifetime. The principles of accessibility,
adaptability and affordability are applicable to the design and construction of single
family dwellings, duplexes, multi-units, townhouses and even apartments, allowing
residents to covert space as their needs change. The concept includes:
• The use of health materials including structural elements, flooring choices,
heating systems and finishes that provide improved indoor air quality and
ventilation have been incorporated into the house;
REZONING APPLICATION NO. 100326
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT NO. 100570
(GUO / YIP)
Page 10 . . .

• The us of energy efficient Power Smart appliances and lighting, plus a high
efficiency forced-air heating system; and
• Wheelchair accessibility through widened hallways and doorways, lowered
countertops and placement of light and electrical switches within easy reach.
The house is designed so that it can accommodate a future elevator.”

Universal Housing:
“Universal design are those home design features that make a home safe and
comfortable for everyone, young or old, whether they have a disability or not. It’s
making a home for all ages. Examples include cabinets with pull-out and kitchen
counters at several heights to accommodate different tasks and postures”.

Advance Street Plan:

In accordance with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, the initial development in each phase
must provide an overall layout plan for the phase that addresses roads, pedestrian links,
greenways, watercourses, environmental compensation areas, land use and housing types. The
layout plan is to ensure that each phase can develop in an overall comprehensive manner and
functions as an evolving guide to development. A previous rezoning application has already
provided an advance street plan to staff’s acceptance. The proposed development complies
with this accepted plan.

School Sites:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:

a. the designated elementary school site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in that
phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the School District, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7;…”

The proposed development falls within the Southeast Phase of the Yorkson Plan. The five acre
elementary school site for this phase is located on lands immediately to the north also under
application (BFW Developments). Prior to final reading the elementary school site must be
secured to the acceptance of the School District.

The Yorkson Neighbourhood currently falls within the catchment area of Willoughby Elementary
School (located on the southwest corner of 208 Street and 80 Avenue). In the short term,
elementary students from the proposed development are expected to attend Willoughby
Elementary School (which has some capacity available). Yorkson students will attend it until
sufficient numbers are generated to construct additional elementary schools in the Yorkson Plan
area.

Another secondary school site to serve the Willoughby neighbourhoods is yet to be pursued as
capacity exists at Mountain Secondary School. An expansion to Mountain Secondary is in the
School District’s capital plan. Yorkson secondary school students will be expected to attend
Mountain Secondary.

Parks and Recreation:

The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:…

b. the designated neighbourhood park site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in
that phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the Township…”

The proposed development falls within the Southeast Phase of the Yorkson Plan. The required
five acre park site for this phase is located on lands immediately to the north (BFW
Developments). Prior to final reading the neighbourhood park site must be secured to the
acceptance of the Township.

Playing fields and playground equipment are located approximately 1 kilometre from the subject
site at the Willoughby Elementary School, and approximately 2 kilometres from the subject site
at the Willoughby neighbourhood park (located at 84 Avenue and 206 Street).

Development Permit:
All of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit
area in the Willoughby Community Plan. Applicable is “Development Permit Area ‘B’ –
Residential” which establishes objectives and guidelines for the form, character and siting of
development. The primary objective of the development permit area designation is to encourage
the development of attractive and safe residential areas and reduce conflict with adjacent land
uses. Attachment A of this report details the specific development permit area guidelines
outlined in the Plan.

For the single family residential lots, the Development Permit guidelines are implemented by a
Development Permit requirement that the proponent enter into an exterior design control
agreement at the time of subdivision. The exterior design control agreement typically addresses
the form, character and siting of individual single family homes constructed in a development.

The Development Permit in this case also varies the front and rear yard setbacks for Lots, 41,
42, 43, 63, and 64 in order to facilitate the retention of three (3) significant trees located on
these lots.

For the rowhouses and townhouses, the Development Permit guidelines will be enforced
through future Development Permit applications, at which time Council will have an opportunity
to review the form, character and siting matters prior to building permits being issued. The
Development Permit typically details the form and character of each development including
siting, access, parking, landscape, Child Friendly Amenity area, tree protection/replacement,
building materials, colours, building elevations and other site development items. As a condition
of final reading the proponent must register a restrictive covenant prohibiting development of the
rowhouse lots until such time as a Development Permit has been issued.

Heritage:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan review process created an inventory of heritage structures
within Yorkson. One of the homes on the subject site identified as having heritage value is the
Ernest Ibbotson house located at 21022 – 77A Avenue. The Yorkson Plan indicates that
preservation of the home is encouraged, however, if it must be demolished an ‘as-found’ report
is to be prepared prior to demolition to the acceptance of the Heritage Planner. The proponent
has elected to remove the home and will be required to submit an “as-found” report to the
acceptance of the Heritage Planner prior to final reading.

Greenways:
As part of the project, the applicant will be required to dedicate and construct a street greenway
(including a pathway and landscaping) along 76 Avenue as identified in the Yorkson
Neighbourhood Plan. Forming part of the overall neighbourhood greenway network, the
proponent will be dedicating approximately 139 m2 (1496 ft2) of street greenway. In addition to
the street greenway the applicant is also required to dedicate roughly 1475 m2 (15,880 ft2) for
the Yorkson Ecological Greenway. Details of the open space improvements (i.e. required
landscaping and fencing including the treatment/ construction of the greenways and municipal
trails) will need to be finalized to municipal standards to the acceptance of the Manager of Parks
Design and Development prior to final reading of the rezoning bylaw. As a condition of final
reading the proponent will be required to transfer title of the greenways to the Township and
secure their construction as part of a Servicing Agreement.

The Yorkson Plan previously secured greenways by means of a Bonus Density provision where
an increased density, would be permitted when additional public green space was provided.
Instead of bonus density the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan implements an “amenity
charge” collected on all developments within Yorkson. Prior to final reading details with respect
to payment and/or compensation must be finalized.

Environmental:
The Township’s Streamside Protection Bylaw and DFO Section 35 (HAAD) approval
requirements apply to this development. As part of the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan
review a number of watercourse and drainage ditches were identified including a yellow coded
watercourse running across the south western corner of the site. As this watercourse will be
impacted by the construction of 76 Avenue, it will be reconstructed to the north in a 1600 m2
(17,200ft2) environmental compensation area that is to be appended to the Ecological
Greenway corridor. The Township is working with DFO in the preparation of an overall
environmental protection/compensation plan for the Southeast Phase including this
reconstructed watercourse and compensation area; approval of this plan by DFO is required
prior to final reading.

The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the north half of the
lands as forming part of the Willoughby and Willowbrook area and the south half of the lands as
forming part of Tara Farms. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the applicant will be
required to provide full urban services as well as a stormwater management plan and sediment
control measures. The provision of these items in concert with Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO) requirements and compliance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw satisfy
the management guidelines identified in the Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study.

Page 13 . . .

Tree Protection/ Replacement:

An Integrated Site Design Concept (ISDC) was provided by the applicant’s consultants (Frogger
Tree Consultants Ltd., HY Engineering Ltd.) The townhouse site will not be constructed until a
future Development Permit is granted, therefore, tree protection details will be deferred to the
DP stage for this lot. A non-disturbance restrictive covenant is to be registered against the title
of proposed Lot 74 to ensure existing trees remain until such time as a DP has been issued for
the townhouse site.

The submitted tree management information for the remainder of the development site indicates
that 192 significant trees exist on the subject site, of which nine (9) are proposed to be retained.
Three of these nine retained trees require front and rear yard setback variances allow for their
retention. In accordance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw, a total of 231 replacement
trees are required to be planted. Of these 120 are proposed to be planted on-site and 111 off-
site. In addition to the on-site trees approximately 73 street trees (in compliance with the
Township’s Boulevard Treatment and Street Tree policy) are required. Overall, 304 trees will be
in place (an average of 4.16 trees per unit) subsequent to development of the subject site. Final
tree retention, protection, and replacement plans are subject to final acceptance by the Manager
of Parks Design and Development.

Transit:
Transit has not yet been extended into the Yorkson Neighbourhood. The road layout of the
overall Yorkson development has, however, been designed to accommodate the provision of
future transit routes in accordance with Translink’s operating policy/procedures. Each year
Translink provides Council with the opportunity to input/comment on transit routes in the
Township. Initially, transit is expected to utilize the 208 Street corridor, three blocks to the west.

Servicing:
Servicing of the Yorkson Neighbourhood was reviewed by the Engineering Division as part of
the recently completed Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan update process. The applicant will, prior to
final reading, be required to provide full municipal services and enter into a servicing agreement
in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw. The servicing
agreement will include all municipal road and utility upgrades/extensions and a stormwater
management plan including sediment control measures in accordance with the Subdivision and
Development Control Bylaw, and the Erosion and Sediment Control Bylaw.

Prior to final reading the required storm water management plan for the Southeast Phase as
delineated on Map 4 of the amended Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan must be provided. Also
required will be the transfer to the Township of an adequately sized community stormwater
detention pond to service the Southeast Yorkson Phase, to the acceptance of the General
Manager of Engineering. If necessary, the proponent may choose to enter into a Development
Works Agreement (DWA) with the Township (similar to a latecomers agreement) dealing with
the recovery of some front-end servicing costs. Completion of the DWA will be required prior to
final reading of the rezoning bylaw.

Road dedications, widenings, and necessary traffic improvements including securing an

additional 1.0 metre dedication along 77A Avenue and a up to a 22.0 metre dedication for 76
Avenue will also be required in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision and Development
Control Bylaw No. 3650 and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, prior to final reading, to the
acceptance of the General Manager of Engineering.

12. Payment of applicable Neighbourhood Planning Administration fees, supplemental

compliance with the Township’s 5% Neighbourhood Park Land Acquisition Policy.

POLICY CONSIDERATIONS:
The proposed development is located in an area designated for “Mixed Residential” purposes in
both the Willoughby Community Plan and the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. The
proposed development complies with the land use and density provisions of these plans, which
allow mixed residential uses, (single family compact lots, rowhouses and townhouses) at a
density between 8 and 10 upa, as well as with the Township’s Zoning Bylaw and the
Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and Policy. Accordingly, staff recommend that
Council give First and Second Readings to Bylaw No. 4730 (subject to the twelve (12)
development prerequisites) and authorize issuance of the accompanying Development Permit
No. 100570 (to be issued at time of final reading of the rezoning bylaw), and authorize staff to
schedule the required Public Hearing.

Respectfully submitted,
