BUILDING GUIDELINES

Siting & Setbacks

The siting of each dwelling shall take into consideration the lot's natural characteristics, including the slope of the lot, the location of any existing trees that are designated for preservation, and the location of neighbouring improvements, as determined by the Design Consultant in relation to the over-view or over-shadowing of neighbouring lots and improvements.

It is the Lot Owner and their Builder's responsibility to identify the location of easements, right-of-ways, restrictive covenants, drainage swales, hydro boxes, streetlights, and services and to comply with the setback requirements established by the Sunshine Coast Regional District and the recommendations of the Design Consultant. To ensure consistency and continuity of the streetscape, to ensure view preservation, and to maximize privacy, the Design Consultant and the Owner and their Builder will endeavour to ensure that specific setbacks are suitable for specific lots, and if needed will increase setback requirements on individual lots to amounts which may be more stringent than minimum setbacks of the zoning by-law.
