3.1.1 Staff Report dated May 26, 2016 
 
Planner Zupanec noted that the Applicant was not in attendance but 
would be available by phone if necessary.  She reviewed the Staff Report 
and summarized the Applicant’s proposal to rezone the subject property 
from Resource to Resource Residential in order to facilitate the 
subdivision of a 10.7 hectare lot into two lots.  She noted that the late 
correspondence received from the Applicant did not change staff 
recommendations for the proposal.   
 
Discussion ensued and the following points were considered: 
 The proposal was inconsistent with some Official Community Plan 
(OCP) policies. 
 There are a limited number of properties zoned Resource and these 
properties were zoned as such for the purpose of protecting larger 
tracts of land. 
 Residential build out comparisons.
