Subject: Mountain View Site Rezoning
Attachments: Mountain View Rezoning Site - December 2015.jpg
In following up on our previous discussion about the Mountain View site, I would like to submit a rezoning applicat
on behalf of the School District in January 2016. Before doing so, some preliminary discussion is needed as the site h
some complicating
elements.
The
need
for
rezoning
is
straightforward
–
the
school
use
has
ceased
and
is
surplus
to
t
needs of the School District. In accordance with a Project Agreement with the Ministry of Education, the School Dist
must generate significant local funds as its contribution to the Revelstoke Schools Project. This includes the procee
from the disposition of surplus school assets, including the Mountain View site.
The general objectives of rezoning the site are to reflect the changes in land use, reduce uncertainty concerning its
future use and enhance the prospects of its disposition.
More specific objectives of rezoning are to:
1. Create a viable
site
plan
consistent
with
the
City’s
Official
Community
Plan
and
the
Revelstoke
Integrated
Community Sustainability Action Plan;
2. Create a specific site for the school building, which received a heritage designation earlier this year, necessary
for its future disposition and adaptive reuse;
3. Define and zone a site for a park, not less than the area of existing surplus rights of way, and convey that site t
the City of Revelstoke; and

tenure and strata ownership to accommodate detached patio homes or attached townhouses should be suitable for t
area. The School District needs some flexibility in the future redevelopment of this area but it should be within a narro
scope. Non‐residential uses or apartments are not proposed. There is significant vacant commercial space in downtow
Revelstoke and apartments may be controversial. .
In order
to
meet
the
School
District’s
objectives
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
City,
rezoning
the
surplus
land
areas
in
the
Mountain View site to a Comprehensive Zone is proposed, tailor made for this particular area. This would provide for
provide certainty in land use but also allow for some flexibility within a relatively narrow scope. If the area facing Gard
Avenue is zoned for ground oriented residential use, either detached or attached, that would provide considerable
opportunity for a developer but at a scale compatible with the neighbourhood. If the remaining areas between the pa
and Pearson Street are zoned for single family dwellings with variable size lots, that would also provide flexibility to a
developer, but remain at a compatible neighbourhood scale. Fee simple lots of varying sizes would be possible as wou
a strata development with smaller patio homes to meet the needs of an aging population.
Rezoning the Mountain View block will require some site servicing upgrades. To that end, the Kamloops office of WSP
has been retained to address the civil engineering issues.
I will be taking some holidays in early January 2016 but will follow up with you later in January once you have had an
opportunity to review this matter. Best wishes for 2016!
