Title
9:30 a.m. Public Hearing - Bylaw 2022-13 - Springbank Park Estates Redistricting (Land Use Bylaw 2017-18)
Proposed Motions
1. That Bylaw 2022-13 receive second reading.
2. That Bylaw 2022-13 receive third reading.
Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the proposed motions, as presented, as the proposed redistricting is in alignment with the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan, Council Strategic Plan, Municipal Development Plan and Big Lake Area Structure Plan. In addition, the application creates a link to adjacent existing neighbourhoods, preserves natural areas while meeting target densities, provides for future trail connections and provides for fiscally responsible serviced residential development.
Administration recommends that the Public Hearing commence at the September 13, 2022 Council meeting at 9:30 a.m. as scheduled at the July 12, 2022 Council meeting at which Bylaw 2022-13 received first reading. Administration recommends that Council hear public comment in accordance with section 216 of the Municipal Government Act. Should Council be satisfied with information received at the Public Hearing, administration recommends that the Public Hearing be closed and that Bylaw 2022-13 be presented to Council for second and third reading at this meeting. Alternatively, should Council desire to receive further information for the Public Hearing, Council may adjourn the Public Hearing to continue to receive additional information accordingly.
Additionally, if Council desires to close the Public Hearing but allow for Bylaw 2022-13 to be considered for second and third reading at the next meeting, Council may move: That Bylaw 2022-13 be presented for second and third reading on September 27, 2022 at a regular scheduled meeting of Council.
Purpose
To amend the Land Use Map of Land Use Bylaw 2017-18 to redistrict Lot 2, Block 1, Plan 982 0548 and Lot 1, Plan 962 4168 from CR-Country Residential District to CRE-Country Residential Estate District.
Summary
Proposed Bylaw 2022-13 is a Land Use Bylaw amendment to redistrict approximately 30.35 ha (75 ac) of land from CR-Country Residential District to CRE-Country Residential Estate District. Council approved waiver to Section 19.6.1 of Land Use Bylaw 2017-18 on June 14, 2022 allowing for the landowner to reapply to redistrict Springbank Park Estates to CRE District sooner than February 8, 2023. This amendment will allow the owners to proceed with the development of smaller lot sizes (a minimum of 0.2 ha (0.5 ac)) in accordance with the proposed land use district for their lands as the current CR-Country Residential District is intended to limit lot size to a minimum of 0.8 ha (2.0 ac). Parcel size and configuration will be confirmed through future subdivision applications. The proposed redistricting is in alignment with the goals, intentions and policies of the supporting Conceptual Scheme and the Big Lake Area Structure Plan.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications:
The proposed amendment is consistent with goals of the Municipal Development Plan No. 2017-14, the Big Lake Area Structure Plan No. 17-91 and the Parkland County Strategic Plan 2022-2025.
Financial Impact:
