To subdivide eight 1.8 ha (4.5 acre) parcels from the quarter-section.
October 2008 – ALC refused application by Resolution #586/2008.
COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS
APPLICANT:
The applicant proposes to subdivide out two 4 ha (10 acre) lots along 208 Road and a second
pair 4 ha (10 acre) lots along 229 Road for sale as rural residential parcels.
ALR:
The subject property is situated within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, Agricultural
Land Commission approval is required. The applicant has applied for exclusion and submitted
copies of the required notification and advertisements.
Note: Pursuant to the Agricultural Land Commission Act, an application may not be considered
by the ALC unless the Regional Board authorizes the proposal to proceed to the ALC. This is
intended to provide local governments with latitude to consider and weigh the local community
interests of each application, in addition to its zoning and official community plan. Should the
Regional District forward the application to the ALC, the information and recommendation
offered by the Regional District is taken into consideration by the Commission but should not be
construed as being binding on the Commission’s opinions or decisions.
OCP:
Pursuant to the Dawson Creek Rural Area Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 477, 1986, the
subject property is designated “Agriculture – Rural Resource” which has a minimum parcel size
of 63 ha (155 acres). Because this proposal involves creating new properties below this
minimum parcel size, the proposal is not consistent with the Official Community Plan.
ZONING:
The subject property is zoned A-2 (Large Agricultural Holdings) pursuant to PRRD Zoning
Bylaw No. 1343, 2001, which has a minimum parcel size of 63 ha (155 acres). Because this
proposal involves creating four new properties below this minimum parcel size, the proposal is
not consistent with the zoning bylaw.

File No. 141/2012
IMPACT ANALYSIS
AGRICULTURE: The proposal would create rural residential lots on a cleared quarter-section. While this may
increase hobby farm opportunities, it will reduce the agricultural potential of the quarter-section
and lead to further expectations of subdivision in this area.
CONTEXT:
This fringe area, within commuting distance to the city, is predominately agricultural in nature
but has parcels of various sizes scattered amongst the quarter-section parcels. Most quartersections in this area (between Bear Mountain and the highway) are still intact, but about half or a
third of the quarters do have one or more parcel subdivided out of them. Creating 4 new parcels
out of this quarter, does not seem in keeping with the predominate character of development.
POPULATION & The creation of four new parcels could increase the local population by 11 persons and 8 vehicles
(StatsCan 2011).

Dear Mr. Hiebert,
Re: Twp78Rgel6 NEY4Sec 1OW6M
We are proposing to subdivide four
—
10 acre lots from our property
—
see attached map.
Two of the proposed lots have all services available —3 phase electrical power, natural gas, telephone
and raw water. Lots will be accessed off the paved 208 Rd.
The remaining two lots will be accessed off the unmaintained 229 Rd. These lots are across from
existing 40 acre lots which are currently for sale. There are no existing utilities to serve these lots.
We are working with Tryon Survey Group as our agents to apply to the various bodies for subdivision
approval.
