DIVISION FIFTY-FOUR - CD (COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT)
The purpose of the CD zone is to provide a zone that allows for the creation of
comprehensive site specific land use regulations for properties within the City.
Circumstances are such that control by conventional zones would be inappropriate or
inadequate with regard to existing or future surrounding developments or to the interest of
the applicant or to the public.
APPLICATION
5401
5402
5403
This zone shall only be created where the following conditions are met:
a)
the proposed development is, in the opinion of City Council, considered
appropriate for the site with regard to the policies and objectives of the Official
Community Plan and any other applicable City plan or policy; or
b)
the use of any other zone in the Zoning Bylaw to accommodate the proposed
development would, in the opinion of City Council, result in potential conflicts with
the scale and character of existing or future surrounding development, should the
full development potential of such zone be utilized; or
c)
the proposed development is of a scale, character, or complexity requiring
comprehensive planning and implementation that, in the opinion of City Council, is
of a unique form or nature not contemplated or reasonably regulated by another
zone.
In addition to the information required by the Zoning Bylaw Amendment Procedures
Bylaw, the applicant shall also provide the following information:
a)
support rationale explaining why a Comprehensive Development Zone is
desirable for the site, having regard to section 5401 above;
b)
a proposed zone, laid out in a similar format to the standard zone, which includes:
the general purpose of the zone, a list of permitted uses for the site, a list of
regulations for the site, and a list of any other regulations that may apply in
addition or instead of any regulation in this bylaw and sign regulations, if different,
from the Sign Bylaw;
c)
a narrative documenting the opinions and concerns of surrounding property
owners and residents obtained through a public information program and how the
proposed development responds to these concerns, together with a summary of
the methods used to obtain such input;
d)
a site plan and/or elevations may be required to be attached to the specific CD
zone as a schedule, where, in the opinion of City Council, the complexity of the
proposed development is such that a site plan and/or elevations would be
necessary to clarify or interpret the written regulations of the specific CD zone.
The regulations of Division Three, Four, Fifty-Two, and Fifty-Three shall apply to all
development within sites zoned as CD, unless such regulations are specifically excluded
or modified by the CD zone.
