What is an Official Community Plan (DCP)? The Official Community Plan (OCP) is the City of Richmond's most important planning policy document that helps achieve the City's long-term vis ion, and what we want to be in the futLire as a community. The existing OCP was adopted in 1999 and helps the City manage to 2021. The City is in the process of updating its OCP to the year 2041. What are Development Permit Guidelines? Under the Loca l Government Act, the City of Richmond can designate Burkeville and Edgemere as an " intensive residential development permit area". In doing so, the City would have greater control over the form and character of the granny flats and coach houses proposed to built in these neighbourhoods. In essence, these guidelines would address what the granny flats and coach houses look likesomething that a rezoning application or Zoning Bylaw can not adequat ely do. What is a Zoning Bylaw? Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500 is the City's regulatory tool for implementing the OCP. It specifies what uses are permitted in various zones and what the density, lot coverage, setbacks, heights, landscaping and parkin g requirements are for these uses. Both Burkeville and Edgemere are predominantly zoned Sing le Detached (RS1/E), which permits a sing le family house and a secondary suite. What is a granny flat and coach house? A granny flat is a detached, self contained dwelling located totally on the ground floor in the rear yard of a single family residential lot with lime access. A coach house is a detached, self conta ined dwelling located beside and above the garage accessed by a lane in the rear yard of a single family residential lot. What has Richmond City Council directed? In February 2012, Richmond City Council directed that the: 1. Proposed Form and Character Guidelines for Granny Flats and Coach Houses in Burkeville and Edgemere; and 2. Draft Single Detached Housing Zone with Granny Flats and Coach Houses in Burkeville and Edgemere be approved for public consultation in the Burkeville and Edgemere areas as part of the 2041 OCP Update.
