Body
Administration Recommendation
Redistricting the subject land to Country Residential Estate is consistent with our Municipal Development Plan and other redistricting approvals within the Big Lake Area. Administration supports the proposed motion.
Purpose
The landowner is seeking Council approval to waive Section 19.6.1 of the Land Use Bylaw 2017-18 to allow for the resubmission of the Land Use Bylaw amendment application to redistrict Springbank Park Estates from CR-Country Residential District to CRE-Country Residential Estate District.
Summary
On February 8, 2022, a Public Hearing was held for Bylaw 2021-27 - Amendment to Land Use Bylaw 2017-18 to redistrict Lot 2 Block 1 Plan 982 0548 & Lot 1 Plan 962 4168 (Springbank Park Estates) from CR-Country Residential District to CRE-Country Residential Estate District. Following closure of the Public Hearing, Council defeated Bylaw 2021-27.
As per Land Use Bylaw 2017-18 Section 19.6.1, where an application for an amendment to the Land Use Bylaw has been defeated by Council, another application for the same or substantially the same amendment shall not be considered within one (1) year of the date of the refusal unless Council otherwise directs.
As per Attachment 2: Landowner Request for Waiver, the landowner is requesting that Council waive the one (1) year waiting period to allow for the resubmission of the redistricting application for Springbank Park Estates. As outlined in the letter, the developer and consulting team would welcome the opportunity to present and discuss: 1) information related to the proposed rezoning in the context of planning for the larger Big Lake area; 2) information related to questions of Council to support consideration of a new application; and 3) the process of a new rezoning application and the subsequent subdivision and development processes.
