As such, a preliminary geotechnical and hydrogeological investigation report was required to be submitted for the rezoning application which has now been published on this page. Engineering staff note that the applicant is responsible for engaging a qualified professional engineer or geoscientist to provide design and construction recommendations that ensure development will not result in negative offsite impacts as it relates to groundwater and soil conditions, which will be required to be further developed and elaborated at the development permit stage, should the rezoning be approved.
