A rezoning to facilitate the development of a new subdivision at the south end of Dawson Road and east end of Victor Road is going before city council on Monday.
A numbered B.C. company is seeking to rezone a 3.1 hectare section of the property for multiple residential development, according to a public notice published on the city’s website.
“The applicant has agreed to register two Section 219 Covenants on title of the subject property. The first Section 219 Covenant will prohibit apartment housing in accordance with Official Community Plan (OCP) Policy 8.3.62 and limit density to thirty (30) dwellings per hectare to maintain the character of the surrounding neighbourhood,” the notice says. “The second Section 219 Covenant will ensure the construction of the proposed two-unit houses are asymmetrically designed (i.e. varying roof lines and using multiple materials for the exterior finish) and look like two distinct dwellings.”
The total area of the development and total number of single-family homes and duplexes planned for the “multi-phase residential subdivision” wasn’t included in the public notice.
A public hearing will not be held, prior to city council considering approving the first and second reading on the bylaw on Monday. However, residents can submit comments to be included for consideration by city council before noon on Monday.
Comments can be emailed to cityclerk@princegeorge.ca, by filling out an online comment form on the city’s website, faxed to 250-561-0183, or dropped off in person to the city’s corporate officer on the fifth floor of city hall.
