Improving the Quality of New Development

A practice of past City Cowecils has been to permit builders to
construct a variety of housing types. ‘That practice is a policy of
the Official Community Plan.

The kinds of housing being permitted in low density residential areas
are family oriented single family houses on standard size lots,
houses on smali lots and ground oriented apartments such as duplexes.

Due to the design sensitivity of small lot housing proposals,
duplexes and infill subdivisions, consultation with surrounding
tieighbors will take plan as a part of the rezoning process.

A guide that will be used by the City im reviewing applications for
small lot houses and duplexes rezoning is the G.V.R.D. Compact
Rousing Development Criteria.

Energy efficiency will be taken into consideration in the review of
applications, examining design of new houses and subdivisions.

In addition to being efficient, development proposals must help
to meet municipal objectives for improving flood protection and
improvements to the City's industrial area and farm production.
