Direct Control Districts

20 1 Direct Control Districts must only be used for the purpose of providing for developments that, due to their unique characteristics, innovative ideas or unusual site constraints, require specific regulation unavailable in other land use districts.

2 Direct Control Districts must not be used:

a in substitution of any other land use district in this Bylaw that could be used to achieve the same result either with or without relaxations of this Bylaw; or

b to regulate matters that are regulated by subdivision or development permit approval conditions.

3 An applicant for a Direct Control District must provide a written statement indicating why, in the applicant's opinion, a Direct Control District is necessary and why the same results can not be achieved through the use of a land use district in this Bylaw.

4 The General Manager must review each application for a Direct Control District and advise Council as to whether or not the same result could be achieved through the use of a land use district in this Bylaw.
