Subject: Mountain View Site Rezoning

Attachments: Mountain View Rezoning Site - December 2015.jpg

In following up on our previous discussion about the Mountain View site, I would like to submit a rezoning applicat

on behalf of the School District in January 2016. Before doing so, some preliminary discussion is needed as the site h

some complicating

elements.

The

need

for

rezoning

is

straightforward

–

the

school

use

has

ceased

and

is

surplus

to

t

needs of the School District. In accordance with a Project Agreement with the Ministry of Education, the School Dist

must generate significant local funds as its contribution to the Revelstoke Schools Project. This includes the procee

from the disposition of surplus school assets, including the Mountain View site.

The general objectives of rezoning the site are to reflect the changes in land use, reduce uncertainty concerning its

future use and enhance the prospects of its disposition.

More specific objectives of rezoning are to:

1. Create a viable

site

plan

consistent

with

the

City’s

Official

Community

Plan

and

the

Revelstoke

Integrated

Community Sustainability Action Plan;

2. Create a specific site for the school building, which received a heritage designation earlier this year, necessary

for its future disposition and adaptive reuse;

3. Define and zone a site for a park, not less than the area of existing surplus rights of way, and convey that site t

the City of Revelstoke; and

tenure and strata ownership to accommodate detached patio homes or attached townhouses should be suitable for t

area. The School District needs some flexibility in the future redevelopment of this area but it should be within a narro

scope. Non‐residential uses or apartments are not proposed. There is significant vacant commercial space in downtow

Revelstoke and apartments may be controversial. .

In order

to

meet

the

School

District’s

objectives

and

meet

the

needs

of

the

City,

rezoning

the

surplus

land

areas

in

the

Mountain View site to a Comprehensive Zone is proposed, tailor made for this particular area. This would provide for

provide certainty in land use but also allow for some flexibility within a relatively narrow scope. If the area facing Gard

Avenue is zoned for ground oriented residential use, either detached or attached, that would provide considerable

opportunity for a developer but at a scale compatible with the neighbourhood. If the remaining areas between the pa

and Pearson Street are zoned for single family dwellings with variable size lots, that would also provide flexibility to a

developer, but remain at a compatible neighbourhood scale. Fee simple lots of varying sizes would be possible as wou

a strata development with smaller patio homes to meet the needs of an aging population.

Rezoning the Mountain View block will require some site servicing upgrades. To that end, the Kamloops office of WSP

has been retained to address the civil engineering issues.

I will be taking some holidays in early January 2016 but will follow up with you later in January once you have had an

opportunity to review this matter. Best wishes for 2016!
