4.3 Rezoning Related Amendments

4.3.1 Under-development

An OCP amendment is not required when a rezoning application proposes a zone that is not identified as an Implementing Zone within the applicable land use designation, provided that: A. the permitted density of the proposed zone is less than the lowest permitted density of the designation’s Implementing Zone(s); and, B. the proposed zone is compatible or complementary with the intent of the designation.

An OCP amendment is required when a rezoning application proposes: A. a zone that is not listed in the designation’s Implementing Zone(s), subject to any location criteria; or, B. a Comprehensive Development (CD) Zone that includes: i. uses not listed in any of the zones in the designation’s Implementing Zone(s), subject to any location criteria, or C9.1 Additional Uses; or, uses that are not complementary to the intent of the designation; or, iii. a form of development that is not consistent with the intent of the designation and/or the designation’s Implementing Zones, subject to location criteria. C. a zone that is not complementary to the intent of the designation. The OCP amendment redesignates the property to a more appropriate designation, in alignment with the proposal, or provides a site specific exception if an appropriate designation does not exist. Rezoning-related OCP amendments may include voluntary community amenity contributions in the context of a development led OCP amendment guided by OCP Amendment Community Amenity Contribution Policy No. O-64. ii.

4.4 Split Designation

Situations where development sites have multiple designations will be evaluated on case by-case basis as determined by the City and may require an OCP amendment.
