2. OCP change and Zoning bylaw changes for large development west of Meadows Drive. 3.5 hectare site next to river for about 60 homes on a strata lot. Land owned by Robin Agur. Hart Buckendahl appeared before Council Monday as a representative of the house construction arm of the proposed development.

Council gave first reading to Bylaw 1070.01 (OCP) and Bylaw 1350.o3 (Zoning) to allow a change from MR (Medium Density) to LR (Low Density). The owner is now required to hold a public information meeting, present a Riparian Area Report and Environmental Impact Assessment by a qualified professional and an easement over the land to provide a pedestrian link. The plan is for manufactured homes placed on a crawl space with the land leased to home-owners. All streets and utilities would be owned by the developer.
