APPLICABILITY
site; and
d) Includes a statement that no liability
or maintenance requirements will
become the responsibility of the
Village at any time.
As generally shown on Map 10: Steep Slope
DPA includes:
x Steep slopes are considered all lands that
have a slope greater than 20% grade.

6.4.4.
Require developments to mitigate any
potential erosion, landslip, rock falls
or subsidence and to avoid posing
any hazards to other developments or
public roadways near the site.
6.4.5.
Construct accesses to minimize
slope disturbance.
6.4.6.
Avoid directing stormwater, placing 昀椀ll,
excavated material, sand or soil near
the top of slope.
6.4.7.
Require a stormwater management
plan prepared by a “Quali昀椀ed
Professional (QP)” to limit impervious
surface and manage erosion, sediment,
and run-off as per the Village’s
“Subdivision and Development
Servicing Bylaw” for any development
in the “Steep Slopes DPA.”
6.4.8.
To reduce the potential of slope failure,
the removal of vegetation within the
“Steep Slopes DPA” is not permitted
unless reviewed and supported
by a “Quali昀椀ed Professional (QP)”,
including any recommendations to
mitigate any negative impacts to the
natural environment.
6.4.9.
Design the development to:
x Buffer Areas around steep slopes include
both the toe of the slope and top of bank
to a maximum of 30 metres.
3
The width of the buffer zone can vary
depending on the speci昀椀c hazards present,
the sensitivity of the surrounding environment,
and the development context. In some cases, a
quali昀椀ed professional may recommend a larger
buffer than the minimum prescribed in the
regulations to address site-speci昀椀c conditions.

Steep slopes, understood to be lands
with a natural slope in excess of 20%,
shall remain free of development and
in their natural condition until a report
prepared by a “Quali昀椀ed Professional”
(QP) outlines how development
can proceed.
Steep slope buffer areas, understood to
be lands up to 30 metres from the top
and toe of the slope, shall remain free
of development and in their natural
condition until a report prepared
by a QP outlines how development
can proceed.
a) Minimize any Land Alteration to
steep slopes;
Notwithstanding Policy 6.4.1 and
Policy 6.4.2, where the steep slope
area renders a property undevelopable,
development may be permissible in
accordance with a report provided by a
QP that is registered as a schedule of a
S.219 restrictive covenant:
b) Re昀氀ect the site’s natural topography;
c) Limit engineered solutions (e.g.
retaining walls) as only a last resort
measure; and
d) Incorporate measures to restore
or enhance the natural grade,
soils and vegetation during and
after development.
a) Identifying a safe minimum setback;

b) Detailing how the development will
mitigate erosion, land slip, rock falls
or subsidence;
c) Explanation of how the
development will not pose hazards
to developments on or near the

6.4.10. Design any structural or slope
mitigation measures by a “Quali昀椀ed
Professional (QP)”.
