9 REPORT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL PRESENTED: JULY 6, REGULAR EVENING MEETING REPORT: FROM: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION FILE: SUBJECT: ZONING BYLAW 2015 UPDATE RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council give first and second reading to Township of Langley Zoning Bylaw 1987 No Amendment (Zoning Bylaw 2015 Update) Bylaw 2015 No. 5109, intended to clarify and update various sections of the Zoning Bylaw and authorize staff to schedule the required public hearing. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Langley Zoning Bylaw No was adopted by Council in 1987 consolidating various Township Zoning Bylaws into one comprehensive document. Refinements to the text of the Zoning Bylaw have occurred on a fairly regular basis with the adoption of eleven previous Omnibus bylaw amendments clarifying the Zoning Bylaw s administration and updating its contents to reflect most up-to-date legislation and Council resolutions, generally considered as housekeeping. This report recommending amendments to the Zoning Bylaw text is a continuation of this process and is the culmination of an extensive inter-departmental review process over the past several years, since the last similar review was completed in April It is recommended that Bylaw No be granted first and second reading, and that staff be authorized to schedule a public hearing. The recommended revisions can be mainly categorized as housekeeping, intended to clarify and update the Zoning Bylaw based on current Council policy and direction, and further to provide definitions, where necessary to address other legal and administrative matters. PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to recommend to Council required fine-tuning of the Zoning Bylaw to clarify and update it in accordance with current administrative practice and Council policy.

(4.c) Hobby beekeeping is proposed to be added as a permitted use in the R-1D, R-1E, SR-3 and CRE-1 zones as detailed in the November 5, 2012 Council report. (11, 12.a, 12.f) 3. An amendment to the definition of Two Family Dwelling is proposed for clarification purposes and does not change administrative practice. The revised definition is as follows: TWO FAMILY DWELLING means a residential building containing two dwelling units joined by a common wall. (2.b) 4.

(4.a.ii) c. To be consistent with the Community Care and Facility Act (which allows up to eight children in a licensed family day care or up to eight adults in an adult day care facility) it is proposed to revise the maximum number of children / adults permitted by the Accessory Home Occupation provisions from seven to eight. (4.a.iv) 9. Public recreation facilities and schools are permitted in all zones of the Township.

In order to accommodate the height requirements for such facilities, a new section ) is proposed as follows: Public recreation facilities and public schools are exempt from the height requirements of this Bylaw. (4.b) 10. To ensure that, in addition to Zoning Bylaw provisions, the Township s Streamside Protection Bylaw is referenced when considering watercourse setbacks, an amendment to Section ) is proposed to add the words and Township Streamside Protection Bylaw No as amended; after the words of this Bylaw. (5) 11.

(6.b.i) 12. Currently there is no Zoning Bylaw requirement for institutional developments to provide a specific type of parking surface.

(6.b.ii) 13. Currently there is no specific provision regarding the proportion of visitor parking that may be provided as small car parking in residential comprehensive development zones.

(6.b.iii, 6.b.iv)

14 ZONING BYLAW 2015 UPDATE Page In order to implement a July 14, 2014 Council resolution extending the dates an RV is permitted to park in driveways of residential properties, an amendment to Section ) is proposed to revise the dates (currently May 15 through September 15) to May 1 through September 30.

(8) 18. Group childrens day care is currently listed as a permitted use in several Rural and Suburban Residential zones. Given the potential impacts (traffic, servicing) of large day care operations on such areas, the use is proposed to be removed from the zones. This amendment will require future potential group childrens day care proposals to be evaluated through a rezoning process. Smaller scale family day care operations (up to eight children) will continue to be permitted in these zones under the accessory home occupation provisions. (9)

15 ZONING BYLAW 2015 UPDATE Page Accessory buildings larger than 80 m 2 in Suburban Residential SR-1 and SR-2 zones are currently permitted to be located 1.5 metres from side and rear property lines. It is proposed to increase the setback requirements of accessory buildings that are larger than 80 m 2 to 3.0 metres to move larger accessory buildings away from property lines and mitigate potential obtrusiveness. (10.a, 10.b) 20. Houses in Residential Compact Lot Zones R-CL(A) and R-CL(B) are being constructed with the rear wall at the minimum setback of 6.0 metres. The main living level of houses is frequently constructed without a direct access for a stair or landing from the interior of the home to the back yard. Decks have been constructed without permits by home owners and developers, resulting in encroachments into the rear yard setback. In order to allow for direct access to the backyard, it is proposed to revise the Zoning Bylaw to accommodate a small stair and landing projection into the rear yard setback. This will also ensure that these projections can be inspected by Township staff as part of the building permit process. A footnote is proposed to be added to the setback sections of the R-CL(A) and R-CL(B) Zones as follows: (10) For a front loaded lot, where a stair and landing, providing access to the rear yard from the first storey projects beyond the rear face of the building, the minimum distance to the rear lot line may be reduced by not more than 1.2 metres, providing that the stair landing projecting into the setback does not exceed an area of 1.5 square metres and that such reduction shall only apply to the rear stair and landing. (12.b, 12.c) A further amendment is proposed to add a section to the zones to ensure that access to the back yard is constructed at time of building permit to ensure the projections are inspected. The sections are proposed to read as follows: Access to the rear yard shall be provided from the first storey either directly or by stairs. (12.d) 21. Residential R-2 zones permit either one single family home or one two-family dwelling on a lot. The subdivision requirements section of the Zoning Bylaw notes that where a lot is 557.4m 2 or greater, a two-family dwelling is permitted. The residential uses section of the Zoning Bylaw notes that one single family dwelling or a two-family dwelling is permitted on a lot, but does not note the minimum lot size requirement for a two-family dwelling. To provide consistency between the two sections the following is proposed to be added to the residential uses section: Where a lot is less than m 2 no more than one single family dwelling is permitted on any one lot. (12.e) 22. To provide consistency with other industrial zones an additional section is proposed to be added to Heavy Industrial Zone M-3 to allow for a 0 metre building setback on a side lot line. The following is proposed to be added to the setbacks section of the zone: No setback is required from an interior rear or interior side lot line abutting an M or C zone; (14.e) A further amendment is proposed to various industrial (M) zones to add specific setbacks from rural (RU) zoned properties. (14.b)

16 ZONING BYLAW 2015 UPDATE Page An amendment to three industrial zones (M-3, M-4 and M-13) is proposed to delete a provision which references a section no longer contained in the Zoning Bylaw as a result of a previous revision to the Zoning Bylaw. (14.f) 24. There is currently no height or density restriction for seniors housing in the Institutional P-1 zones. A height provision is proposed to be added to the bylaw to limit the height of seniors housing facilities. The revision is proposed read as follows: Height of Buildings and Structures Except as provided for in Section the height of buildings and structures shall not exceed 15 metres nor 4 storeys for seniors housing (15) 25. The Comprehensive Development CD-4 zone includes a Floor Space Ratio limit for all buildings and structures on a lot. The inclusion of a Floor Space Ratio provision is not consistent with the approach used in other single family residential zones. Section which outlines Floor Space Ratio limitations is proposed to be deleted from the Zoning Bylaw and subsequent sections renumbered accordingly. (16, 17) 26. The Comprehensive Development CD-14 zone allows service industrial uses as prescribed in the M-1A and M-1B zones with the exception of uses related to vehicles. The uses that are not permitted in the zone are listed with the exception of parking of commercial vehicles. It is proposed to add parking of commercial vehicles to the list of uses not permitted in the zone. (18) POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is recommended that Council give first and second reading to Bylaw No and that staff be authorized to schedule the required public hearing.
