On Thursday, November 30th, Administration will provide an update on the R-CG district.

The R-CG district was adopted into the Land Use Bylaw in October of 2014. The R-CG District is a residential land use district that allows for a range of housing where each house has its own entry at ground level (“G” for Ground Oriented) facing the street. The district is primarily for rowhouses, but also allows for single detached, side-by-side and duplex homes all of which may include secondary suites. Rowhouses are essentially single houses attached together at the side.

Since it’s implementation, the City has been monitoring its progress and a number of issues have been identified including:

Key issues for R-CG district

Key issues common across all Infill Districts

Next steps:

The timeline for some of the more complex infill issues would likely extend into 2019. Administration recommends a two-phase approach:

The Infill Scoping Report (PUD2017-1125) and the R-CG Monitoring report propose a shared work plan for 2018. Considering their shared work plan, Administration recommends that these two reports be considered at the same meeting of Council on 2017 December 18.
