SITE CONTEXT

The subject property is located 12 km west of the City of Dawson Creek along the 208 Road directly eastof the Arras Fire hall. This general area consists of mostly quarter sections with areas of rural residentiallots in all directions.SITE FEATURES

LAND: The 10 acre portion of the subject property is mainly treed. There is a small area that wascleared in the past by the Ministry of Transportation due to shale extraction and then wasused for a few years by the Peace River Regional District for solid waste. The PRRDabandoned the solid waste site sometime prior to 1987.

STRUCTURES: VacantACCESS: The subject property can be accessed from both the 208 and 235 Roads. The proposed

access for the church is from the 235 Road.CLI SOILRATING:

Class 5c soil. Class 5 soils have very severe limitations that restrict their capability inproducing perennial forage crops, and improvement practices are feasible. Subclass cdenotes adverse climate - the main limitation is low temperature or low or poor distributionof rainfall during the cropping season, or a combination of these.

FIRE: Within the Arras Fire Protection Area.COMMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS

APPLICANT: It is the intent of the applicant to build a church, parking lot and recreation site (playground)on this parcel without removing it from the ALR.

ALR: The subject property lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Therefore, Agricultural LandCommission approval is required.

Note: Pursuant to the Agricultural Land Commission Act, an application may not beconsidered by the ALC unless the Regional Board authorizes the proposal to proceed tothe ALC. This is intended to provide local governments with latitude to consider and weighthe local community interests of each application, in addition to its zoning and officialcommunity plan. Should the Regional District forward the application to the ALC, theinformation and recommendation offered by the Regional District is taken into considerationby the Commission but should not be construed as being binding on the Commission’sopinions or decisions.

The Regional Board authorized a Non-farm Use in the ALR application to be forwarded tothe ALC on September 18, 2014. No decision has been received from the ALC at this time.

OCP: The subject property is designated ‘Park and Natural Environment’ within the South PeaceFringe Area OCP Bylaw No. 2048, 2012. Within the Park designation the principal uses ofland will generally include but are not limited to: public parks, outdoor recreation,campgrounds, cultural and heritage sites of all residents of the area, agriculture, ecologicalreserves, work that supports ecological protection, conservation or restoration, andstructures for interpretive purposes. This designation does not permit a church which is thereason for this OCP amendment.

ZONING: The subject property is zoned P-1 (Park and Open Space Zone) within the Peace RiverRegional District Zoning Bylaw No. 1343, 2001. This zone does not permit a church whichis the reason for this zoning amendment.

IMPACT ANALYSIS

AGRICULTURE: The proposal will have an impact on the agricultural use of the land.

CONTEXT: The subject property is a 30 acre parcel of crown land that the Peace River RegionalDistrict has had a Notation of Interest on since August 27, 1987. On February 21, 2014the Regional Board passed Resolution No. RD/14/02/30 stating that they have no interestor need to continue with the Notation of Interest (file No. 0292078) on the ten acres to theeast of the Arras Fire Hall in response to a letter of request from Mr. Viktor Kisser of the

CGF Church Dawson Creek.

POPULATION &TRAFFIC

The proposal will increase traffic to this area but leave the population unchanged.
