COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS

APPLICANT: The applicant proposes to subdivide the subject property into three lots, one for each ofthe two existing homes and one for construction of a new home.

ALR: The subject property is outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, AgriculturalLand Commission approval is not required.

OCP: Pursuant to the North Peace Fringe Area Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1870, 2009,the subject property is designated “Agriculture” where the minimum parcel size is 63 ha.Therefore, an amendment to the OCP is required.

ZONING: The subject property is zoned A-2 (Large Agricultural Holdings) pursuant to PRRD ZoningBylaw No. 1343, 2001 where the minimum parcel size is 63 ha, therefore an amendmentto the zoning bylaw is required.

PRESERVATIONAREA:

There may be natural hazards such as, flooding, landslides or wildfires, that havepotentialto cause damage, or loss of life or property and in such instances it may not be safe orconductive to develop.

File No. 024/2014

Page 3 of 6

IMPACT ANALYSIS

AGRICULTURE: The proposal will have minimal impact on the agricultural productivity of this parcel due toheavy tree cover, poor soil quality and adverse topography.

CONTEXT: The area to the east consists essentially of residential uses and therefore the furthersubdivision of this parcel is in character with the surrounding parcels.

POPULATIONAND TRAFFIC:

The proposed subdivision may increase the population of the area by 2.8 for the newdwelling and about 2 vehicles.
