1. The request can only be for PR zoning at no more than 3 du/ac;
2. Sanitary sewer and water services are available;
3. The site is connected to the Planned Growth Area by an arterial or collector street;
4. A traffic impact analysis demonstrating that the proposed development will not significantly impair traffic flow along the arterial roads in the Planned Growth Area must be approved.

This site meets the first 3 conditions. The 4th condition will be met by requiring the developer to submit a Traffic Impact Analysis meeting the criteria as part of the use on review / concept plan stage for any development exceeding 75 dwelling units. This zoning recommendation meets the requirements of the Growth Policy Plan and the sector plan. The sector plan proposes low density residential uses for the site.
