EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
HY Engineering Ltd. has applied on behalf of 0746344 BC Ltd. (Platinum Developments) to
rezone 5.04 ha (12.44 acres) of land located at 21097 and 21133 – 80 Avenue, and 21130 and
21174 – 81A Avenue to Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL(A), Residential Compact Lot Zone
R-CL(B) and Comprehensive Development Zone (CD-67). The rezoning will facilitate the
subdivision of approximately seventy (70) fee simple single family lots and forty (40) fee simple
rowhouse units. A Development Permit for the site is being processed in conjunction with the
rezoning application to secure an exterior design control agreement for the R-CL(A) and R-
CL(B) zoned lands at the time of subdivision. A future Development Permit (yet to be applied
for) will provide Council with the opportunity to review the form character and siting of the CD-67
fee simple rowhouse units. The development application fully complies with the Willoughby
Community Plan and the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. Final reading of the rezoning bylaw is
contingent upon completion of the development prerequisites outlined in this report.
PURPOSE:
This report is to advise and make recommendations with respect to the Rezoning/ Development
Permit application.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 9 . . .
BACKGROUND:
The subject site is currently zoned Suburban Residential Zone SR-2 (8094m2 / 2 acre minimum
lot size) and is designated ‘Mixed Residential’ in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan (minimum 20
units/ha (8 units/acre) to a maximum 25 units/ha (10 units/acre)). The proposal complies with
provisions of the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan designation.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The proponent has applied to rezone 5.04 ha (12.44 acres) of land located at 21097 and 21133
– 80 Avenue, and 21130 and 21174 – 81A Avenue to Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL(A),
Residential Compact Lot Zone R-CL(B) and Comprehensive Development Zone (CD-67). In
support of the rezoning, a preliminary site plan has been submitted indicating a proposed
subdivision layout of 70 single family lots zoned R-CL (A) and R-CL (B). The R-CL (A) zone
permits residential development with a minimum lot size of 275m2 (2,960ft2) for a front loaded
lot; while the R-CL (B) zone permits residential development with a minimum lot size of 315m2
(3390ft2) for a front loaded lot. The land located between 80 Avenue and 80A Avenue will be
developed to include 40 fee simple rowhouses zoned CD-67. Included in the development
proposal is the dedication of approximately 6202m2 (66,760ft2) of green space, consisting of
greenways along 80 Avenue and 211 Street and a DFO mandated fisheries compensation area.
Surrounding Land Uses:

North: 81A Avenue and single family residential lots (zoned R-CL(A) and R1-D) beyond;
South: 80 Avenue and suburban residential lots (zoned SR-2, but designated Mixed
Residential in the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan) beyond;
East: suburban residential lots (zoned SR-2, but designated for future business park
purposes in the Willoughby Community Plan);
West: suburban residential lots (zoned SR-2, but designated Mixed Residential in the
Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan).
Density:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan designates the sites as “Mixed Residential” requiring a
density range of 20 units/ha (8 units/acre) to 25 units/ha (10 units/acre). The current proposal
for 110 units yields an overall density of 21.9 units/ha (8.9 units/acre). The proposal meets the
density requirement of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan.
Flex and Universal Housing:

In accordance with Section 4.2.1(9) of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan a minimum of 5% of
the units in any residential development shall provide either flex or universal housing prior to
final reading. The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan defines flex and universal housing as follows.
Flex Housing: is an innovative approach to home design, renovation and construction

that emphasizes accessibility and is engineered to adapt at minimal cost to the
changing needs of occupants over their lifetime. The principles of accessibility,
adaptability and affordability are applicable to the design and construction of single
family dwellings, duplexes, multi-units, townhouses and even apartments, allowing
residents to covert space as their needs change. The concept includes:

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 10 . . .
• The use of health materials including structural elements, flooring choices,

heating systems and finishes that provide improved indoor air quality and
ventilation have been incorporated into the house;
• The us of energy efficient Power Smart appliances and lighting, plus a high
efficiency forced-air heating system; and
• Wheelchair accessibility through widened hallways and doorways, lowered
countertops and placement of light and electrical switches within easy reach.
The house is designed so that it can accommodate a future elevator.
Universal Housing:
Universal design are those home design features that make a home safe and
comfortable for everyone, young or old, whether they have a disability or not. It’s
making a home for all ages. Examples include cabinets with pull-out and kitchen
counters at several heights to accommodate different tasks and postures.
Advance Street Plan:

In accordance with the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, the initial development in each phase
must provide an overall layout plan for the phase that addresses roads, pedestrian links,
greenways, watercourses, land use and housing types. The layout plan is to ensure that each
phase can develop in an overall comprehensive manner and is to function as an evolving guide
to development. As per the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, prior to final reading the proponent
must submit an overall layout plan to the acceptance of the General Manager of Community
Development. Staff note that this plan will need to be prepared in conjunction with BFW, other
developers/land owners, DFO and the Township.
School Sites:
The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:
the designated elementary school site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in that
phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the School District, subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7;…”
The proposed development falls within the Northeast school catchment area of the Yorkson
Plan. The elementary school site for this catchment was secured through a previous rezoning
application (immediately north-west of the subject site).
The Yorkson Neighbourhood currently falls within the Willoughby Elementary School catchment
area. In the short term, elementary students from the proposed development are expected to
attend Willoughby Elementary School which has some capacity available. Yorkson students will
attend it until sufficient numbers are generated to construct an additional Yorkson Elementary
school.
Another secondary school site to serve the Willoughby neighbourhoods is yet to be pursued as
capacity exists at Mountain Secondary School. Yorkson secondary school students will be
expected to attend Mountain Secondary. An expansion to Mountain Secondary is in the School
District’s capital plan.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 11 . . .
Parks and Recreation:

The Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan states that “The following general prerequisites must be
satisfied prior to the adoption of a rezoning bylaw in any phase:…
the designated neighbourhood park site indicated for that phase, whether it is located in
that phase or not, must be secured to the acceptance of the Township subject to Sections
8.2.6 and 8.2.7;…”
The proposed development falls within the Northeast neighbourhood park catchment area of the
Yorkson Plan. The park site for this phase was secured through a previous rezoning application
(immediately north-west of the subject site).
Until this neighbourhood park is constructed, residents will have access to the existing playing
fields and playground equipment located 0.5 kilometres to the west at Willoughby Elementary
School and to the existing Willoughby neighbourhood park (located at 84 Avenue and 206
Street), approximately 1.5 kilometres from the subject site.
Development Permit:
All of the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan area is designated as a mandatory Development Permit
area in the Willoughby Community Plan. Applicable is “Development Permit Area ‘B’ –
Residential” which establishes objectives and guidelines for the form, character and siting of
development. The primary objective of the development permit area designation is to
encourage the development of attractive and safe residential areas and reduce conflict with
adjacent land uses. Attachment A of this report details the specific development permit area
guidelines outlined in the Plan.
For the 70 lot fee simple residential subdivision proposed, the Development Permit guidelines
are implemented by a Development Permit requiring the proponent to enter into an exterior
design control agreement at the time of subdivision. The exterior design control agreement
typically addresses the form, character and siting of individual single family homes constructed
in a development.
In addition to the above, the Development Permit varies the minimum lot depth of the R-CL (B)
zone for lots 82 and 83 from 25.0 metres to 23.0 metres. This variance is required to
accommodate the 211 Street road alignment and the adjacent greenway. All other requirements
of the R-CL (B) zone will remain in place.
For the 40 fee simple rowhouse units, the Development Permit guidelines are enforced through
a future Development Permit. Council will have an opportunity to review the form, character and
siting of the rowhouse development prior to building permits being issued. The Development
Permit typically details the form and character of a development including siting, access,
parking, landscape, tree protection/replacement, building materials, colours, building elevations
and other site development items. As a condition of final reading the proponent must register a
restrictive covenant restricting development of the rowhouse lots until a Development Permit is
issued for the entire rowhouse portion of the site.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 12 . . .
Greenways:
As part of the project, the applicant will develop a greenway (including a pathway and
landscaping) along both the 83 Avenue and 211 Street Avenue frontages. Both are identified in
the Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan and will form part of the overall neighbourhood greenway
network. In addition, the fisheries compensation area mandated by DFO will be dedicated to the
Township. In total, the proponent will be dedicating 6202m2 (66,760ft2) of greenways and open
space, of which approximately 2068m2 (22,260ft2) are a result of Township requirements.
Details of the open space improvements (i.e. required landscaping and fencing including the
treatment/ construction of the greenway and municipal trail) will need to be finalized to the
acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and Development prior to final reading of the
rezoning bylaw. As a condition of final reading the proponent will be required to transfer title of
the greenways to the Township, and to secure their construction as part of a Servicing
Agreement prior to consideration of final reading of the rezoning bylaw.
The Yorkson Plan previously secured greenways by means of a Bonus Density provision where
an increased density would be permitted when additional public green space was provided.
Instead of Bonus Density the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan implements “Amenity
Costs” collected on all developments within Yorkson. Those developments that dedicate land
for public open space (i.e. greenways) will be subject to the requirements of the Yorkson
Greenway Amenity Zoning Policy. Prior to final reading, details with respect to the balance of
amenities provided and Amenity Costs paid will need to be finalized to the acceptance of the
Manager of Parks Design and Development.
Tree Protection/ Replacement:

An Integrated Site Design Concept (ISDC) was provided by the applicant’s consultants (HY
Engineering Ltd., ECL Consultants and C. Kavolinas and Associates Ltd.). The submitted
information indicates that 159 significant trees exist on the site, of which 6 trees are proposed to
be retained. In accordance with the Township’s Tree Protection Bylaw a total of 332
replacement trees are required to be planted, plus approximately 90 street trees (in compliance
with the Township’s Boulevard Treatment and Street Tree policy). The applicant is proposing to
plant 236 trees on site and 96 off site. Overall, approximately 518 trees will be in place after
the site is developed (an average of 4.7 trees per unit). Final tree retention, protection, and
replacement plans are subject to the final acceptance of the Manager of Parks Design and
Development.
Transit:
Transit has not yet been extended into the Yorkson Neighbourhood. The road layout of the
overall Yorkson development, however, has been designed to accommodate the provision of
future transit routes in accordance with Translink’s operating policy/procedures. Each year
Translink provides Council with the opportunity to input/comment on transit routes in the
Township. Initially it is believed that 208 Street, three (3) blocks to the west, will become a
transit route.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 13 . . .
Environmental:
As part of the updated Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan review a number of watercourse and
drainage ditches were identified. The Township is working with DFO in the preparation of an
overall environmental protection/compensation plan for the Southeast Phase and the remaining
properties within the Northeast Phase. Acceptance of this plan by DFO and other items listed in
the development prerequisites are required prior to final reading. Specifically, there are a
number of yellow or green coded drainage ditches on site that are proposed to be eliminated as
part of an overall DFO Section 35 agreement for the area. The conceptual agreement with DFO
envisions the construction of a headwater pond and wetland area on the site that will feed into
the waterway recently constructed to the north of the subject properties.
The Township’s Environmentally Sensitive Areas (E.S.A.) Study identifies the lands as forming
part of the Willoughby and Willowbrook area. As part of the required Servicing Agreement, the
applicant will be required to provide full urban services as well as a stormwater management
plan and sediment control measures. The provision of these items in concert with Department
of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) requirements and compliance with the Township’s Tree
Protection Bylaw satisfy the management guidelines identified in the Township’s
Environmentally Sensitive Areas Study.
Servicing:
Servicing of the Yorkson Neighbourhood was reviewed by the Engineering Division as part of
the recently completed Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan update process. The development site
will be required to provide full municipal services in accordance with the Township’s Subdivision
and Development Control Bylaw. Prior to final reading, the proponent will be required to enter
into a servicing agreement including all municipal road and utility upgrades/extensions and a
stormwater management plan including sediment control measures in accordance with the
Sediment and Erosion Control Bylaw.
Prior to final reading the proponent is required to provide a stormwater management plan for the
Southeast Phase as delineated on Map 4 of the amended Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan. Also
required is transfer to the Township of an adequately sized community stormwater detention
pond to service the Southeast Yorkson Phase to the acceptance of the General Manager of
Engineering will need to be satisfied.
Staff note that a Development Works Agreement (DWA) is proposed by an BFW for the
stormwater detention pond serving all of the Southeast phase. In addition, Platinum may also
propose a DWA for its stormwater detention pond, which, in this instance, also functions as an
environmental compensation area. Completion of each DWA is required prior to final reading.
Road dedications, widenings, and necessary traffic improvements to the acceptance of the
Director of Engineering (including securing approximate road dedications of between 11.5 and

4.1.2 Development Permit Area “B”– Residential
Lands identified as “Residential” on Map 7, Development Permit Areas are hereby designated
as development permit areas under Section 919.1(1)(e) and (f) of the Local Government Act to
establish objectives and provide guidelines for the form and character of intensive and multi
family residential development.
The objective of this development permit area designation is to encourage development of
attractive and safe multi family areas.
Unless the owner first obtains a development permit, land within this development permit area
shall not be subdivided, and construction of, addition to or alteration of a multi family dwelling
(including a townhouse, rowhouse, apartment, duplex, triplex or fourplex) must not be started.
Development permit guidelines are as follows:
4.1.2.1 General
The following general guidelines apply to all development within Development Permit Area
“B.”
4.1.2.2 Single Family Development
General
o Single family developments shall enter into an Exterior Design Control Agreement (to
be registered on title as a restrictive covenant) prior to final subdivision approval and to
the acceptance of the Township. The agreement shall incorporate the following single
family development permit guidelines.
Architectural Details
o No residential units shall back onto a public road or street greenway other than 212
Street between 76 and 80 Avenues.
o All building elevations visible from public land (i.e. parks, roads, greenways and
detention pond sites) shall provide architectural detailing to be consistent with the front
of the building.
Parking and Traffic/Pedestrian Circulation
o Where single-family lots abut an arterial road or a street greenway vehicular access and
parking shall be provided via a rear lane or any other vehicular access from the rear of
the property while retaining the front pedestrian access of the building facing the street.
Landscaping
o Fences adjacent to a street greenway shall not exceed 122 cm (48 inches) in height. These
fences shall be designed to complement the building and be an open picket fence design.
Fences must permit observation of the public realm and incorporate landscaping to
soften their appearance from the road.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 17 . . .
Building Form
o Pitched roofs are required. Pitched roofs shall have architectural grade roof material,
including ridge caps and shadow lines.
4.1.2.3 Multi Family (i.e. Apartment, Townhouse, Rowhouse, Duplex, Triplex and Fourplex)
Development
General
The following guidelines apply to all multi-family development.
Site Design
o While providing individual design character, buildings shall be designed to integrate
and complement adjacent developments with respect to siting, setbacks, design, exterior
finish, landscaping and parking areas. Facade and roofline articulation with porches
and other projecting elements is required. Blank or undifferentiated facades shall be
avoided.
o Buildings shall be sited and designed to maximize sun penetration to adjacent roads,
sidewalks and properties.
o Buildings sited on corners shall address both street edges, shall express a visually
stimulating ‘landmark’ architecture, and be massed to define the intersection.
o On sloping sites, buildings should be massed to create a terraced form of development
and provide view opportunities for a majority of housing units.
o Site planning and landscaping for residential development should take into account
established principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) –
including opportunities for neighbourhood surveillance of pathways, landscaped areas and
roadways and provision of defensible space that is clearly separated by fences, landscaping
or paving, readily visible by residents and adequately lit.
o In order to allow for stormwater infiltration to maintain flow in watercourses,
development is encouraged to maintain low surface imperviousness through compact
building form and site layout, consideration of shall be given to alternative stormwater
and road standards, use of pervious surface materials where feasible and preservation of
existing vegetation.
o Multi family buildings shall be designed to maximize avoidance of leaky condominium
syndrome by using industry best building practices.
o Mail box kiosks located within a stratified development shall be protected from the
weather, be architecturally integrated into the development and be located adjacent to a
visitor parking stall with pull-out.
o A pedestrian connection shall be provided for each unit/or group of units (as
determined by the Township) to the street or street greenway. Public, semi-public and
private space shall be clearly delineated.

(PLATINUM ~PHASE 2)
Page 18 . . .
o Presenting garages to public roads is discouraged. Offsetting garages behind the front
face of the building is encouraged. Carports are not permitted. Developments shall
register a restrictive covenant on title preventing conversion of the garage to any other
use that prohibits vehicle storage.
o Development of street facing buildings (i.e. the front door is facing towards the
municipal roadway) is required abutting a street or street greenway, other than 200 and
212 (between 76 and 80 Avenues) Streets.
o A strong street presence is required through extended porches, recessed entries and
ground oriented units.
Building Form
o Pitched roofs are required unless a green roof is provided. Pitched roofs shall have
architectural grade roof material, including ridge caps and shadow lines.
Exterior Design and Finish

o The main entrance of the building should be clearly identified by the architecture of the
building and include such elements as pedestrian awnings to provide protection from the
weather. Exterior materials shall consist of wood, brick, stone, metal, glass, ceramics (other
than for a roof) and/or concrete composite board.
o Vinyl as a secondary material is permitted, however, a variety of cladding orientation,
material, design and/or colour shall be used.
o Exterior finish of buildings shall be high quality to ensure integrity of the building envelope
and to present an attractive appearance. Stucco siding shall be restricted to no more than
25% of any given elevation, but where it is used it shall be inspected and certified by a
qualified independent contractor.
o All glass weather protection designs shall be comprised of frosted glass.
o Mechanical equipment shall be screened or integrated with the roof form, as viewed
from the street or higher buildings, in a manner consistent with the overall architecture
of the building.
o To provide visual interest elevations of buildings facing a street shall have architectural
details such as roofline height, varied paint treatments, windows, articulation in the
building envelope, etc.
o Building elevations that are visible from adjacent roads and municipal greenways shall
be finished and treated similar to the front elevation – in terms of architectural details
and the quality of the exterior finish/materials.
