  • With the new zoning, how much permeable surface does a new development need to have. How much of the lot needs to be available for water to penetrate the soil (to mitigate flooding) and for plantings to reduce the urban heat island effect?

    BaSa asked 16 days ago

    The zoning bylaw does not specifically regulate a maximum amount of permeable surface, except for small scale residential development. However, there are landscaping requirements for the number of trees and shrubs that will need to be planted on the site based on the size of setbacks. This effectively means there will have to be some permeable area and help reduce the urban heat island effect. To mitigate flooding, stormwater management controls are implemented, such as onsite stormwater storage measures, a reduced stormwater discharge rate, and/or Low Impact Development (LID). The type of stormwater control used will depend on the storm infrastructure in the area, which is reviewed and conditioned by a Drainage Engineer.
