Johnny Leung, J.W.W. Leung Architect, gave a brief overview of the development particularly noting that he worked closely with planning staff and the Heritage Commission for the proposed duplex zoning on the subject property. The intent was to propose an acceptable transition from the existing duplex across the lane to the east and townhouses to the west of the property. |

In response to queries, Wayne Craig, Director of Development, advised the proposal is for a two-unit or duplex dwelling. The lot is one of the few remaining parcels within the area that could be developed for this style of housing, and the existing lot would not be wide enough to accommodate two R1A zoned lots. There is an existing duplex across the lane to the east of the subject property. |

Jon Henderson, 8271 Rideau Drive, and Alan Castillo, 8311 Rideau Drive representing property owners on Rideau Drive reiterated their concerns addressed in their written submission dated September 3, 2013 (attached to and forming part of these minutes as Schedule 8). |
|
|
|
|
In reply to queries, Mr. Craig noted that the proposed shared driveway access was identified in the rezoning report for 9100 No. 3 Road. A condition of rezoning for 9100 No. 3 Road was that a Public Rights-of-Passage (PROP) statutory rights-of-way (ROW) be registered over the driveway to facilitate the shared driveway access currently proposed. The City pursues shared driveway access conditions on most arterial roads in order to limit conflict points with the arterial road from any pedestrian and traffic safety concerns. |
|
|
|
|
Mr. Craig further noted that from a traffic management perspective the one shared driveway is the preferred solution for multiple developments as it minimizes the conflict points with No. 3 Road, which is a busy arterial road. There will only be one driveway to No. 3 Road that would serve both Strata Corporations. There is no intention for the driveway to extend to the property to the north which is a commercial site under the Official Community Plan. Staff will endeavour to highlight in the planning reports and rezoning considerations where proposed shared accesses are being considered for adjacent sites. |

None. |

In response to the correspondence received, Mr. Craig indicated that no lane dedication would be required at this time from 8560 River Road. Should the property be redeveloped in the future, there would be a small portion of lane dedication required off the rear of the property to complete the ultimate width of the lane. |
|
|
PH13/8-3 |
|
It was moved and seconded |
|
|
|
|
That Official Community Plan Bylaws 7100 and 9000, Amendment Bylaw 9041 and Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500, Amendment Bylaw 9042 be given second and third readings. |
|
|
|
|
The question was not called on Resolution No. PH13/8-3 as staff was directed to reply to Mr. & Mrs. Davies explaining the lane dedication and was advised that a report from the Parks Department with respect to a parks dedication in the area is outstanding. The question was then called and was CARRIED. |
