1 City of Surrey PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT REPORT File: Development Permit Proposal: Development Permit to permit exterior renovations and a minor addition to an existing automotive dealership. Recommendation: Approval Location: Street Zoning: Highway Commercial Industrial OCP Designation: Commercial LAP Designation: Highway Commercial Owner: Ed Klassen Pontiac Buick GMC (1994) Ltd.

2 PROJECT TIMELINE Completed Application Submission Date: July 27, 2004 Application Revision & Re-submission Date: September 27, 2004 Planning Report Date: November 1, 2004 The applicant is proposing: a Development Permit; in order to permit the exterior renovations and a minor addition to an existing automotive dealership. The Planning & Development Department recommends that:

3 1. Council approve the attached Development Permit No. (Appendix III), authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the Development Permit, and authorize the transfer of the Permit to the heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns of the title of the land within the terms of the Permit. REFERRALS Engineering: No concerns (Appendix II). SITE CHARACTERISTICS Existing Land Use Automotive dealership. East: The Corporation of Delta, residential and commercial land uses. South: Public assembly facility, zoned PA-2, designated Urban in the OCP. West: A townhouse development established in the mid-1990s, zoned RM-45, designated Multiple Residential in the OCP. North: A multi-use commercial development, zoned CD (By-law No ), designated Commercial in the OCP. PLAN AND POLICY COMPLIANCE OCP Designation: LAP Designation: Complies. Complies. DEVELOPMENT CONSIDERATIONS Background Council approved the development of the automobile dealership under Development Permit No A subsequent Development Permit, No , was applied to the site in order to permit the construction of an accessory building. Both Development Permits established detailed building design and landscaping requirements to ensure appropriate architectural design and landscaping plans in accordance with the City guidelines approved by Council. Current Proposal The dealership is now seeking to renovate the exterior of the principal building, which includes making changes to the façade, canopies and roofing materials as well as adding a small addition of approximately 8 m² (86 sq.ft.). The proposed renovations are considered extensive in that they alter the overall appearance of the existing building and, thus, a new Development Permit is required. Currently, an existing freestanding sign located on the south-west corner of the property was erected without a sign permit and contravenes the Sign By-law. However, the applicant has submitted a Development Variance Permit application in order to deal with this issue. City staff will review this application and a Planning Report will be forwarded to Council in due course.

4 DESIGN PROPOSAL AND REVIEW: The proposed changes include: the addition of an entrance vestibule area of approximately 16 m² (180 sq.ft.), altering the size and shape of roofing materials and overhangs, changing wood siding to textured concrete plaster, changing the paint colour schemes and changing fascia signage. The change in colour scheme will be a combination of browns, beiges and accent reds on textured concrete, and the roofing materials will be Soprema and grey in colour. The number of proposed fascia signs is consistent with the existing Development Permit with the exception of one additional directional sign. There is a net decrease in fascia sign area by 27.5 m² (295 sq.ft.). The proposed changes are complementary to the existing structure and will serve to enhance the look of the existing building. During the review of this application, it was discovered that the landscaping approved under the previous Development Permit is no longer in place along the Scott Road frontage. The applicant has agreed to upgrade the existing landscaping along Scott Road, in accordance with the attached Landscaping Plan (Appendix IV). Proposed landscaping includes sod, 18" to 24" triple staggered Cherry Laurels mixed with existing Bearberry at entrances. Given the scope of changes to the building, as well as the existing landscaping along Scott Road, the proposed landscaping is considered to be adequate. This application was not referred to the Advisory Design Panel but was reviewed by staff and found to be satisfactory.
