3. COMMUNITY INFORMATION MEETING 
 
3.1 MA-RZ-2012.1 (Oceanwood) 
 
The Chair called the Community Information Meeting to order at 1:10 p.m. 
and welcomed all the participants. He stated the purpose of the meeting: to 
provide an outline of the rezoning application MA-RZ-2012.1 (Oceanwood) 
and allow those present to ask questions regarding the proposed project. 
 
Planner Richardson reviewed the current status of the 10 acre property and 
what is being proposed: 
 28 vacation accommodation units 
 8 seniors residential units 
 7 employee dwellings 
 Manager’s residence. 
 
Planner Richardson stated The Official Community Plan identifies Senior’s 
Housing as an amenity which allows some increase of density and also 
requires rain water storage/catchment.  He further stated that a Development 
Permit could be implemented to allow the Local Trust Committee (LTC) to 
direct the development in more detail. 
 
The greatest concern raised to date is the demand on water resources with 
the increased density.  A water study submitted by the Applicant suggests 
usage would not differ from past consumption.  Water is a difficult resource to 
control and/or incorporate into an application and staff feels a geohydrology 
review would be beneficial. 
 
There have been some concerns raised regarding the location for senior’s 
housing as the property is isolated.  Parking and septic system have been 
raised as issues as well. 
 
Planner Richardson has developed a chart for phasing of construction.

MA LTC CIM–dated April 23/14  2 of 3 
The Applicant spoke to the proposal which has been amended after the study 
indicated that senior’s housing demand was low and the LTC recommended 
mixed housing.  All units would be screened from surrounding properties and 
there would be a pool as a community amenity.  It was further stated that the 
developer would like to balance the number of vacation rentals with the 
number of senior’s units.  There are extensive plans to minimize water draw 
through new fixtures, water collection and harvesting of rainwater. 
 
Trustee Crumblehulme questioned staff as to how a Development Permit 
could be used to protect the ground water.
