(Neufeld / 5759 - 240 Street)
Bylaw No. 5717
Report 21-68
Recommended Action
Whereas Rezoning Application No. 100589 (Neufeld /
5759 - 240 Street), Bylaw No. 5717 is a rezoning of 18 ha
(44.5 acres) of land located at 5759 - 240 Street to Suburban Residential Zone SR-1 to facilitate a development consisting of
39 rural single family lots;
Whereas this Rezoning Application involves the removal of
4083 significant trees from the site;
Whereas the loss of 4083 significant trees will have a major impact on the surrounding rural area in terms of tree canopy loss, wildlife displacement, and water retention in the area;
Whereas neighbouring properties have the right to be informed of, and to comment on, potential impacts to their properties of this proposed development in terms of its impact on the rural character of the area; and
Whereas existing COVID-19 protocols do not require Public Hearings but those protocols are in the process of being eased due to increasing vaccination levels;
Therefore be it resolved that Council require a Public Hearing for this Rezoning Application No. 100589 (Bylaw No. 5717) to allow for maximum public input; and further
That the Public Hearing be deferred until such time as a full
Public Hearing can be accommodated in-person at the
Fraser River Presentation Theatre, if such a deferral is needed.
