PLANNING FRAMEWORK

royalbay.ca

IMPLEMENTING THE 2014 AREA PLAN

Royal Bay’s Comprehensive Development Zone for the Latoria North area (RBCD5 Zone) is currently under review by the City of Colwood. Submitted initially on March 8th 2016, the proposed RBCD5 Zone is guided by the vision, land use policies and servicing frameworks detailed in the adopted 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan and Colwood’s Official Community Plan (OCP).

Led by EKISTICS Town Planning, the Rezoning Application has been prepared by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals committed to realizing the vision for Royal Bay.

PLANNING APPROVALS PROCESS

The Capital Regional District’s Regional Growth Strategy sets out the direction of growth within the region, managing change over the long-term.

Colwood’s Official Community Plan (OCP) articulates the community’s vision and anticipated long-term needs to guide growth through general land use and servicing policies.

Royal Bay’s Area Plan forms part of the OCP, further refining the vision and policies of the OCP for implementation within a specific “neighbourhood” area.

The Subdivision process regulates the legal subdivision of land and sets the standards for road alignments and civic infrastructure servicing.

The Zoning Bylaw regulates the specific land use, density and development permitted on properties.

Development Permits regulate development in terms of environmental, geotechnical hazard, commercial and intensive residential form and character.

Building Permits are issued following compliance with the above regulatory requirements.

Design Guidelines serve to maintain quality standards for neighbourhood form and character in architecture and landscape design.

ZONING


COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT ZONE Understanding the ‘What?’ and ‘Where?’

royalbay.ca

WHAT DOES THE ‘CD ZONE’ DO?

With Phase 1 Zoning completed in February 2016, to facilitate Royal Bay’s initial phase of development, the Latoria North RBCD5 Zone represents the next technical step in implementing the 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan.

The Comprehensive Development Zone for the Latoria North RBCD5 Zone will replace the current zoning in order to align with the vision adopted in the 2014 Area Plan, while maintaining the existing permitted land uses and densities.

Zoning Bylaws regulate the permitted land uses and densities on a property and include specific provisions, such as the maximum number of dwelling units; the minimum setback and maximum height requirements of buildings and structures; the maximum parcel coverage allowed on a lot; and the allowed minimum parcel sizes. www.colwood.ca

SCHEDULES 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan


The Royal Bay Area Plan, adopted by the city of Colwood in 2014, structures land use and servicing decision to manage growth with the intent of building a healthy, more complete and sustainable urban neighbourhood.

The Plan provides planning and engineering detail to assist in the reconciliation of land use, environment, density, infrastructure and implementation issues, serving as a comprehensive guide for managing future rezoning and subdivision applications.

LATORIA NORTH AREA Royal Bay’s Newest Neighbourhoods


royalbay.ca

RIDGE NEIGHBOURHOODWith its forest backdrop and ocean views, the Ridge offers a single family neighbourhood of larger lot sizes, consistent with the established Wishart South and Woods neighbourhoods.

MEADOW NEIGHBOURHOODFramed by Latoria Boulevard and Metchosin Road, the Meadow offers a variety of single family homes structured by a central greenway park with direct connections to the new Royal Bay Secondary School.

LATORIA NORTH RBCD5 ZONE Schedule 2 Zoning Areas


royalbay.ca

To implement the vision adopted in the 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan and reflect current development standards, the existing Comprehensive Development zones (RBCD1+RBCD3) within the Latoria North area require updating to align with the Area Plan.

The Latoria North RBCD5 Zone of Schedule 2 reflects the adopted Royal Bay Area Plan land use designations of Single Family homes, Multi-Family homes, Natural Park and Natural Neighbourhood Park.

IMPLEMENTING THE VISION | HOUSING Understanding the Proposed Zone


royalbay.ca

The following policy is taken directly from the 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan in an abridged form.

4.2 RESIDENTIAL A variety of housing choices allows Royal Bay to foster a vibrant, mixed-age community. Ground-oriented homes arranged within clustered, walkable neighbourhoods establish a positive relationship between built and natural spaces. Compact homes will reduce infrastructure networks and maintenance costs, while allowing for greater restoration of natural parks and ecological systems. Each neighbourhood within Royal Bay expresses a West Coast sense-of-place, reflected through its neighbourhood scale and pattern, views, native plantings and emphasis on local materials.

Detached ResidentialOffering a mix of single family lot sizes – large, medium, and compact – as well as two-family duplex homes, the detached residential designation provides for ground-oriented houses within a livable, pedestrian scaled neighbourhood setting.

Features of the Detached Residential designation include rear lanes to enhance the streetscape and foster socially sustainable communities; careful consideration of transitions to existing neighbourhoods; and easy connections to parks, trails and destinations.

Attached ResidentialThe Attached Residential designation affords a mix of housing opportunities – including ground-oriented starter and executive style townhomes - and allows a high level of interconnectivity among residential, commercial and park uses.

Encourage the provision of a variety of housing forms, lot sizes and tenures, including purpose built rental housing, to provide a diversity of residences that can support a range of lifestyles and life stages.

Encourage use of rear lanes for standard and compact detached residential homes, and for ground-oriented attached homes, permitting lane-accessed carriage homes within larger detached residential lots.

Encourage compact housing forms, including Compact Single Family Homes and Attached forms, as a means to reduce construction materials and energy use.

Allow up to 20% flexibility for the Detached Residential Designation to include Attached Residential units along transportation corridors such as arterial or collector roads, within 400m of parks, commercial uses or schools, or where rear lanes are utilized.

Develop and implement residential design guidelines as a means to reinforce West Coast sense-of-place and character. Encourage green building technologies, including but not limited to Air Heat Source Pump Heating Systems, Heat Recovery Ventilators, and Solar Collectors.

Encourage building orientation to benefit from passive climate control as means to reduce energy use.

Minimize potential conflicts arising from adjacent land uses, housing types and/or tenures in the planning, design and construction of residential neighbourhoods through consideration of appropriate buffers, transition areas and/or other mitigating program elements.

4.2.2 RESIDENTIAL POLICIES

IMPLEMENTING THE VISION | PARKS Understanding the Proposed Zone


royalbay.ca

Provide open space and parkland for the recreational use and enjoyment of residents and visitors. Where applicable, parkland will be dedicated to the City of Colwood.

Provide an interconnected network of pathways – including walking paths/trails, sidewalks and multi-use pathways – that connect the Landing and Commons Mixed-Use centres, parks and residential neighbourhoods.

Provide pathway connections to existing neighbourhoods, where feasible.

Incorporate a range of trail and pathway types to provide for a range of recreational uses and to maximize accessibility.

Preserve future opportunities for the provision of public park amenities such as signage (for wayfinding and interpretation), benches, garbage receptacles and bicycle racks in public trailhead/parking areas.

Establish destination points such as areas for sitting, picnicking and informal lookouts.

Preserve future opportunities to establish, maintain and improve appropriate active park programs (i.e. playgrounds, community gardens, off-leash dog parks, skateboards parks, etc.) based on identified community need.

The following policy is taken directly from the 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan in an abridged form.

4.5 PUBLIC PARK NETWORK: ACTIVE PARKS, OPEN SPACE & TRAILSThe Royal Bay Public Park Network weaves a series of active parks, trails and restored natural systems into Royal Bay, locating parks within 5 minutes walking distance of every home.

Neighbourhood Natural ParkA robust open space network composed of public park, natural buffers, protected riparian areas, and linear greenways, Neighbourhood Natural Parks provides a variety of recreational, restored habitat and stormwater functions within a single system.

In addition to providing opportunities for active and passive recreation, Neighbourhood Natural Parks also serve to restore habitat connectivity between upland forest and shoreline ecosystems. Through use of plantings that are native to the region, the natural landscape character of Royal Bay will be restored.

Neighbourhood ParksNeighbourhood Parks seek to engage a diverse range of community needs, from quiet contemplative spaces for reflection to imaginative playgrounds and sports fields for active people. Serving as community gathering spaces, Neighbourhood Parks also offer opportunities for gardens, public art, outdoor classrooms, markets and festivals.

Retain natural vegetation where possible and encourage the use of native and drought resistant vegetation for new development.

Recognizing that 25% of the site will be re-vegetated, encourage use of trees and native plantings as means to aid carbon sequestration.

Complete an invasive weed management study, as required.

Protect riparian areas by integrating stormwater management infrastructure that mimics natural flow patterns and rates, where feasible.

4.5.2 PUBLIC PARK NETWORK POLICIES Encourage retention of snags

and large trees to provide roosting, loafing and nesting sites for birds, where feasible.

Encourage a soil composting and nursery establishment in order to provide trees, native plants and topsoil for future use at Royal Bay.

In conjunction with a Registered Professional Biologist, protect riparian areas within the Neighbourhood Natural Park designation.

Undertake updates to the baseline environmental inventory and analysis by phase, where required.

Ensure invasive weeds are controlled, and on a reasonable frequency keep the City informed of progress and plans.

Designate Murray’s Pond and the surrounding natural vegetation as a special study area for further consideration prior to development.

As part of the subdivision approval process that includes park dedication, including sloped areas for park and trail uses, a park design will be submitted to the City for approval of design, and capital and maintenance requirements.

PHASE 1 MEADOW PARK

royalbay.ca

MURRAY’S POND | SPECIAL STUDY AREA Protecting the Pond


As established in the 2014 Area Plan, Murray’s Pond is designated as a Special Study Area pending further review. Covering approximately 11 acres, the Special Study Area includes remnant forest and wetland habitat within the Ridge Neighbourhood.

An Environmental Inventory was completed by PGL Environmental Consultants in January 2016, identifying key natural features for protection as illustrated below.

Key features of the proposed Special Study Area Conservation Plan include the protection of:

• 100% Wetland environment;• 100% 30m of Riparian setback;• 100% Mature Forest & Diverse Tree Species;• 100% Collection of Wildlife Trees;

• 100% Locally Unique Ecosystems;• 100% Veteran and Wildlife Trees; and

• 87% Retention of Existing Tree Cover

In addition, the total retained forest in the Latoria North area is 15.09 acres or 94%.

ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY CONSERVATION PLAN

royalbay.ca

RELATING TO OUR NEIGHBORS 2014 Royal Bay Area Plan


RESPECTED VIEWS: Existing homes sit above future residences;

PARK BUFFER: Public Park provides significant transition between existing and future homes;

NO THROUGH TRAFFIC: Connections between neighbourhoods are limited to pedestrian and cycle routes only; and

RETAINED FOREST: 7.91 acres of matured forest protected within Public Park designation;

PAINTER ROAD: Emergency–only Connector with planned pedestrian and cycle pathway;

DEEPER YARDS: Enlarged spacing between existing and future homes;

Royal Bay seeks to provide a more sustainable lifestyle that integrates and embodies the best of Westcoast living. Responding to the site’s grand scale, the Area Plan structures Royal Bay into a series of interconnected neighbourhoods.

In an effort to strengthen Royal Bay’s relationship with its neighbours, the Plan integrates the following features along its northern edge:
