Secondary Suite Engagement and Feedback Rutland Park

– Spring 2013 started receiving feedback and email with concerns that secondary suites may be imposed on our community

– Sent out an email (via icontact) requesting formal feedback on increasing density and secondary suites; responses collected until end of June 2013 (100 % of feedback concerned/opposed)

– Formal email submission by the CA to City Planning on Sept 12/13 stating concerns and opposition

– Community Needs Survey in May 2014 with section for written comments; residents continued to state concerns with increasing density/adding suites

– July 2/14 email feedback to Councillor Pincott stating community opposition to imposing secondary suites

– Feb 5/15 email follow up feedback to Councillor Pincott maintaining opposition

– Mar 1/15 short notice opportunity for resident input and feedback to Councillor Pincott; same concerns raised

– Topic was discussed at both our 2013 and 2014 AGM’s

– Development Guidelines for our community were approved at our Nov 2014 AGM and posted on our website; they clearly state that we are not in favor of rezoning in general; the proposed amendment to LUB 1P2007 in effect constitutes blanket redesignation/rezoning of our R-C1 properties to R-C1s, and our R-C2 properties to R-2M

– Key development documents that are presented on behalf of the community are also made available on our website (rutlandparkcommunity.com) under the Development tab, and their location is noted in our monthly newsletter

– Rezoning/adding density and secondary suites are regularly addressed in the Development and Traffic Report for our monthly newsletter publication, The Post; residents are encouraged to comment and get involved; feedback on the report is consistently positive. One or more of these issues was addressed in The Post:

– July 2014 | September 2014 | October 2014 | December 2014 | January 2015 | March 2015 | April 2015 | May 2015
