Plan Surrey 2013: Official Community Plan

PLANSURREY 2013 | OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN

II(b). IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUMENTS Rezoning and Subdivision Rezoning of Land The Generalized Land Uses shown in Figure 3 are realized over time as land is subdivided, zoned and developed in accordance with the OCP and, where applicable, with Secondary Plans. While the OCP land use designations show Council’s intention for future land uses, zoning sets out the currently per- mitted specific land uses and densities for each legal parcel of land. Where property is rezoned, the proposed zoning must be consistent with the OCP and, where it is not, the OCP must be amended pri- or to rezoning to maintain consistency. Subdivision Subdivision of land is subject to the approval of the City’s Approving Officer consistent with the policies of this Official Community Plan, the provisions set out in Surrey’s Zoning and Subdivision and Develop- ment By-laws and in accordance with the Land Title Act. Density Bonusing The Local Government Act (Section 482) permits municipalities to grant additional (or ‘bonus’) densities on parcels of land in exchange for defined Community Amenity Contributions from developers. The City of Surrey has established policies related to density bonusing in City Centre, Town Centres and in Secondary Plan areas, consistent with the Land Use and Density Section of this OCP.
