APPLICATION DETAILS
The City has received a proposal to rezone property at 1069 Webber Greens Drive. The application was made by Select Engineering Consultants Ltd. on behalf of Melcor Developments Ltd.
Proposed Rezoning
The application proposes to rezone portions of the site at 1069 Webber Greens Drive NW from:
(RF5) Row Housing Zone to (RA7) Low Rise Apartment Zone to allow for the development of a 14.5 to 16 metre high (approximately 4 storey) low-rise apartment with commercial uses at ground level. View the RF5/RA7 Zoning Comparison Chart
(AGU) Urban Reserve Zone to (AP) Public Parks Zone to allow for the development of a future school-park site
The application also includes a proposed amendment to the Potter Greens Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) to change the designation of the (RF5) site from Medium Density Residential (Town Houses) to Medium Density Residential (Low Rise Apartment) to facilitate the proposed (RA7) Low Rise Apartment rezoning.
The proposed AP Zone to enable the future development of the school-park site conforms with the Potter Greens NSP, which designates the area for a future school-park site.
Proposed Planned Collector Road Removal
The application also includes an amendment to the Potter Greens Neighbourhood Structure Plan (NSP) to remove a portion of a planned, but currently unbuilt, collector roadway known as Potter Greens Drive and replaces it with a shared-use path.
The City is reviewing the Transportation Review Report (Bunt & Associates - August 3, 2021) submitted by the applicant as part of its analysis of the proposed plan amendment and recommendation to Council.
Area Structure Plan Amendment
This proposal will also require an amendment to the Lewis Farms Area Structure Plan to align the two plans with regards to maps and text for transportation and open space (school / parks).
The City has not yet taken a position of support or non-support on this application. The City’s position will be determined by a thorough analysis of the proposal that includes technical considerations (e.g. traffic and drainage impacts) and alignment to applicable City land use-related plans and policies.
This application is being reviewed for alignment with the City Plan, Lewis Farms Area Structure Plan, and the Potter Greens Neighbourhood Structure Plan. Due to the site’s proximity to the future Lewis Farms LRT Station, it will also be reviewed against the City’s Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Guidelines.
