Conclusion
Should Council wish to proceed with permitting granny flats and coach houses in Edgemere, the
following steps are suggested as part of the 2041 OCP Update:
1) Edgemere would be designated as an intensive residential development permit area with
guidelines in the 2041 OCP Update (which is proposed to be presented to Planning
Committee in September, 2012 and, if introduced and given first reading by Council,
would be scheduled for the Public Hearing in October, 2012);
2) The portion of Edgemere with lanes (not including the arterial road lots along Williams
Road and the portion of No. 4 Road north of Dennis Place) would be rezoned to a new
Single Detached with Granny Flat or Coach House (REI) zone by the City (this rezoning
would be scheduled for the same public Hearing as the 2041 OCP);
3) The Development Permit, Development Variance Permit and Temporary Commercial and
Industrial Use Permit Procedure Bylaw would be amended to not require Development
Permit signage for granny flat and coach house applications that Council may approve in
Edgemere (this bylaw would not be considered for adoption until after the Public Hearing
for the 2041 OCP and would be subject to the adoption of the 2041 OCP Bylaw); and
4) The Development Application Fees Bylaw would be amended to introduce a new $1,000
development permit application fee for granny flats and coach houses in Edgemere, down
from the current minimum $2,055 application fee for most other development permits to
provide an incentive (this bylaw would not be considered for adoption until after the Public
Hearing for the 2041 OCP and would be subject to the adoption of the 2041 OCP Bylaw) .
