The following existing land uses are located around the subject area:

East: OCP – Commercial Recreational & Neighbourhood Residential; Zoning Bylaw – RS2: Single Residential & C9: Outdoor Recreation

Description of Proposal

The rezoning application proposes to rezone approximately 0.50 ha of the subject area from AF:

Agriculture and Forestry to RS2: Single Residential in order to facilitate a minor 5 lot expansion

to the Aberdeen Glen Estates Phase 4b development. The rezoning application will also require

an amendment to the existing Commercial Recreational Future Land Use Designation as

identified in the OPC to the Neighbourhood Residential Future Land Use Designation.

Community Meeting

The Community Meeting was advertised by hand delivered invitations to homes along Links

Drive and McTavish Road. The City of Prince George’s standard delivery of notice is 30 m and in

this case, we delivered invitations to neighbours in excess of 500 meters from the subject area.

A total of 85 invitations were hand delivered to residents.

Present at the Community Meeting were three L&M Engineering Limited staff members, Kali

Holahan (Planner) to represent the City of Prince George and applicant Craig Church to

represent the application.

The Community Meeting was attended by approximately 3 neighbours. Attendees began to

arrive shortly after 6:20 pm and were offered coffee and cookies. Attendees were presented

with three poster boards illustrating relevant information and were invited to review the

boards and ask questions in a personal one-on-one format. The meeting lasted until roughly

7:30 pm for a total duration of 1 hour.

All of the neighbours questions and comments were documented and have been provided with

this summary in Appendix A. We encouraged residents to provide their email on the sign-in

sheet so that we could create a group email as a means of providing application updates and so

that residents could remain in contact with L&M Engineering throughout the process and

future development phases.

The tone of the meeting was overall polite and friendly and interaction between the neighbours

and various representatives was cordial and respectful. The feedback received from the

community meeting was largely inquisitive in nature, with neighbours asking questions and

inquiring more information with regards to the proposed development plans.

All three neighbours in attendance inquired as to whether or not the proposed development

plans were for multi-family housing. L&M Engineering explained that the 5 additional lots to be

added to the Phase 4b development would be single family lots, as is consistent with the

surrounding neighbourhood.

Comment Forms

We encouraged neighbours to fill out the comment forms provided so that they could be

included with this summary report. Following the completion of the meeting, no comment

forms were received.

Summary

Overall, this meeting met its intended goal of sharing project information with the neighbours

and collecting valuable feedback. Further, all three neighbours in attendance expressed favor

with the proposal and were happy to hear that the 5 additional lots would consist of single

family dwellings.

We look forward to continuing to work with Administration on this application. If you have any

additional questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Sincerely,

L&M ENGINEERING LIMITED Ashley Thandi, BPl Community Planner Copies To: Craig Church, Aberdeen Glen Developments Ltd. Enclosures: As Noted.
