PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to request that Council consider First and Second Readings for

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 which would make the ‘housekeeping’

amendments to Zoning Bylaw 6680, 2001 and schedule a Public Hearing for January 29,

2018.

BACKGROUND

Zoning Bylaw 6680, 2001

A Zoning Bylaw is a tool used to regulate how land is used. Within the scope of day-to-day business, necessary housekeeping updates come to the attention of staff.

DISCUSSION

Staff has identified eleven minor housekeeping amendments which are proposed to be

addressed in Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 which is attached as Attachment 1.

The proposed housekeeping amendments address the following items:

1) Grammatical Errors

Grammatical errors have been noted in the text of the following sections which would be

corrected. These are as follows:

a) Section 150.74 of Bylaw No. 7689, 2014 – Change of wording from “care” to “car” inthe following section:

“If one shared parking vehicle and one shared parking space are provided for any

multiple unit dwelling, then the overall number of off-street parking spaces may be

reduced by five (net reduction of four spaces), parking spaces for each car share

vehicle and care car share space up to a maximum of 10% of the parking required.”

Page 11: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw ... · Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw): To Make Minor Updates/Corrections to Zoning Bylaw No.

City of New Westminster January 29, 2018 3

Agenda Item 213/2017

b) Section 120.72 – Remove the wording “for the time being” in the following section:

“ENGINEER or DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING means the Director of Engineering

for the time being of the City of New Westminster.”

2) Add CD-59 Zone

During the implementation of Density Bonus Phase 2, in order to accommodate the new

RM-6A and RM-6B Zoning Districts, a site specific district was renamed to Comprehensive

Development District (News North) CD-59. Due to an error, the insertion of the new zone

was not included with the implementation of Phase 2 of the Density Bonus Program. This

amendment would insert the zoning district into the bylaw as intended.

3) Update Local Government Act Reference

With the update to the Local Government Act on January 1, 2016, the section to authorize

Temporary Use Permits was changed from section 921 to section 493. This amendment

would update the Zoning Bylaw to refer to the new section in the Local Government Act.

4) Clarification of the Definition of Dwelling unit

The intent of the City’s definition of a dwelling unit is that a dwelling unit must be internal ly

contiguous. This means that all internal portions of the dwelling unit must be internally

accessible from other portions of the dwelling unit. For example, for a single detached

dwelling to be considered a single dwelling unit there must be access between all floors.

A basement that is only accessible from an exterior door (i.e. a secondary suite) is considered

a second dwelling unit.

To clarify this intent, the following requirement of a dwelling unit is proposed to be added:

“the entire area of any dwelling unit must be accessible from within the dwelling unit. No

portion of the dwelling unit shall be isolated such that it can only be accessed from a separate

exterior door from the rest of the dwelling unit.”

5) Add Legend to Downtown Height Map (Section 190.49.5)

The map in section 190.49.5 which regulates base building heights in the Downtown does

not provide an indication as to the unit of measure of height (metres or feet).This amendment

would add a legend showing the intended units of measurement for height is in feet.

Page 12: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw ... · Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw): To Make Minor Updates/Corrections to Zoning Bylaw No.

City of New Westminster January 29, 2018 4

Agenda Item 213/2017

6) Consistency of Units of Measure

The units of measure in the Section 520 Downtown Mixed Use Districts (High Density) (C-4) and Section 460 Multiple Unit Residential District (High Density) (RM-6) zones are

inconsistent between metric and imperial measures. The amendment would include both the

metric and imperial measurements to be consistent with the rest of the bylaw.

7) Section 320.22 - Clarify reference in NR-1 zone to Height of Flat or Mansard Roofs

Currently the NR-1 zone states a Maximum Building Height of 25 feet, but does not include

the Maximum Building Heights for Flat or Mansard roofs of 20 feet which is the current

requirement. This amendment would update the bylaw to reflect the difference in heights.

8) Remove references to driveway (site) access in Zoning Bylaw

Currently the Zoning Bylaw includes regulations regarding site access, which are incorrectly

included within this bylaw that regulates land use. This amendment would remove

references to site access in sections 150.49 and 150.50 as per below:

Replace Section 150.49 with:

“Driveways and ramps on site shall not be less than that indicated in the table below”:

Parking areas of not more

than 10 spaces

Parking Areas of more

than 10 parking spaces

One-way Traffic 2.74 metres (9 feet) 3.35 metres (11 feet)

Two-way Traffic 5.49 metres (18 feet) 6 metres (19.7 feet)

Replace Section 150.50 with:

“Where parking is directly off of a lane, the lane may be considered as all or part of the

required manoeuvring aisle for the parking spaces provided that no part of the lane shall be

Page 13: Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw ... · Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 (Housekeeping Bylaw): To Make Minor Updates/Corrections to Zoning Bylaw No.

City of New Westminster January 29, 2018 5

Agenda Item 213/2017

used as part of any parking space. No parking is permitted in the portion of the lane required

as a manoeuvring aisle.”

Delete Sections:

150.44.e

150.44.f

150.57

9) New section under Family-Friendly Housing (190.21.4a) and new section titled

Family-Friendly Housing Unit Parking Incentives (150.8.9)

Allowing existing dwelling units with one or more bedrooms in multiple dwelling buildings

to add additional bedrooms aligns with the intent of the City’s existing Family- Friendly

Housing Policy and zoning regulations. The changes to the bylaw proposed below would

allow such an addition without triggering a recalculation of the number of parking stalls

within the building. Staff anticipates limited applicability of this regulation based on the

number of multiple dwelling units with sufficient floor space to achieve this while also conforming to the Design Guidelines of the Family-Friendly Housing Policy, and the limited

number of enquiries received to date (i.e. two over the past year). The amendment increases

opportunities for housing diversity, with very little impact on parking given that (off -street

parking requirements for buildings containing three or more dwelling units increase by only

0.2 spaces from a one-bedroom unit to a two-bedroom unit and by only 0.1 spaces from a

two-bedroom unit to a three or more bedroom unit.

Insert the following as a new section:

“190.21.4a Existing dwelling units with one or more bedrooms on a site used for multiple

dwellings can be converted to add additional bedrooms and must conform to

the Design Guidelines of the Family Friendly Housing Policy.”

Insert the following section:

Family-Friendly Housing Unit Parking Incentives

150.8.9 Conversion of dwelling units to increase the number of bedrooms on a site

used for multiple dwellings will not require provision of additional parking

spaces provided that the units conform to the Design Guidelines of the Family-

Friendly Housing Policy.

City of New Westminster January 29, 2018 6

Agenda Item 213/2017

10) Delete the definition of “Church” in Section 120.38 and replace with the following

newly defined term in Section 120.144.1 and any other reference to “Church” in

the Zoning Bylaw

(a) in section 120, Definitions, the defined term “church” (section 120.38) is deleted, and

the following new defined term is inserted:

“PLACE OF WORSHIP means the gathering of people for the purpose of sharing,

expressing or practicing a commonly-held faith, spiritual belief or religion”

(b) in section 120.68 the word church is replaced with: “building used for place of

worship”;

(c) in section 150.13 the words “churches and similar places of public assembly” are

replaced with: “places of worship and similar places of public assembly”;

(d) in section 155.2, subsection 2.3, the word “Churches” is replaced with “places of

worship”; and,

(e) in the following sections the word “church” or “churches” is replaced with “place of

worship” or “places of worship”: 562.7, 610.5, 620.5, 630.5, 1049.4, 1028.3.

11) Add “home based business” as a permitted use in the C-3A zone

Currently the Community Commercial Districts (High-Rise) (C-3A) Zone does not list

home-based business as a permitted use. This amendment would include this use in the list

of permitted uses under the C-3A section of the Zoning Bylaw.

OPTIONS

The options presented for Council’s consideration are:

1) That Council consider Zoning Amendment (Housekeeping) Bylaw No. 7924, 2018 for first and second readings and forward to a Public Hearing on January 29, 2018.

2) That Council provide staff with an alternative direction.

Staff recommends option 1.
