00:02:22,142 --> 00:02:25,161
Good evening and welcome to the Special Council meeting of

2
00:02:25,422 --> 00:02:29,001
Monday, August 24th, 2026 versus a motion to call the

3
00:02:29,041 --> 00:02:34,089
meeting to order. Council, please. Sumoved. Holes in favor and

4
00:02:34,129 --> 00:02:37,745
carried. Thank you. Next is the land acknowledgement. Thank you.

5
00:02:37,745 --> 00:02:39,745
Before we begin, I would like to acknowledge that this

6
00:02:39,745 --> 00:02:43,185
meeting is taking place on the shared traditional ancestral and

7
00:02:43,206 --> 00:02:46,305
unseated territories of the Swasan, home musculum and other co

8
00:02:46,345 --> 00:02:48,945
- sales peoples. We extend our appreciation of these First

9
00:02:48,985 --> 00:02:51,585
Nations for the opportunity to hold this meeting here today.

10
00:02:51,686 --> 00:02:55,505
Madam Kirk, please. Thank you. Next, that brings us to

11
00:02:55,926 --> 00:02:59,505
number three, the Agenda Endorsement and the Motion recommendation before

12
00:02:59,686 --> 00:03:02,305
Council is that the agenda for the August 24th, 2026

13
00:03:02,486 --> 00:03:06,609
Special Council meeting B endorsed. So moved. All those in

14
00:03:06,609 --> 00:03:10,870
favor. And carried. Thank you and brings us to part

15
00:03:10,891 --> 00:03:13,590
four bylaws for final adoption. We have item 4. 1

16
00:03:13,931 --> 00:03:18,790
final consideration, an adoption of bylaw number 8511 at 11129

17
00:03:18,891 --> 00:03:26,470
80th Avenue and the Delta Zoning bylaw number 76 amendment

18
00:03:26,491 --> 00:03:31,706
bylaw number 8511 2025. We finally considered an adopted. Any

19
00:03:31,746 --> 00:03:35,591
discussion. Seeing none, all those in favor. And carried. Thank

20
00:03:35,631 --> 00:03:38,151
you. That brings us to item 4. 2, final consideration

21
00:03:38,412 --> 00:03:42,631
and adoption of bylaw number 8597 at 5002 56 Street.

22
00:03:43,382 --> 00:03:49,110
Council. Move that Delta zoning bylaw number 2750 1977 amendment

23
00:03:49,150 --> 00:03:55,030
bylaw number 8597 2026. We finally considered and adopted. Second,

24
00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:58,233
any discussion, seeing none, all those in favor. Any opposed

25
00:03:58,334 --> 00:04:01,750
and carried. Thank you. That brings us to part five

26
00:04:02,011 --> 00:04:05,350
Administrative Reports. We have item 5. 1 development variance permit

27
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:09,510
for a basement access depression at 6632 Lambert Crescent and

28
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:12,630
the recommendation is that the application for Development Variance Permit

29
00:04:12,811 --> 00:04:18,267
LU0 10057 be denied. So I moved that to a

30
00:04:18,267 --> 00:04:24,840
development from variance permit to LU010057 be issued. In SD

31
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,908
alternate option mentioned. Is there a secondary. Any discussion. Council

32
00:04:31,009 --> 00:04:36,250
Guys. Thank you, sorry. Thank you Mayor Harvey. Just a

33
00:04:36,250 --> 00:04:40,890
quick question through to staff, Miss Berry. Can you just

34
00:04:40,930 --> 00:04:44,170
go over what the Bylaw currently is for the Depression

35
00:04:46,271 --> 00:04:48,650
that we do allow and why this is coming to

36
00:04:48,991 --> 00:04:55,346
Council at this moment. Thanks. Thank you. It was very

37
00:04:55,386 --> 00:04:59,426
pleased. Thank you through Mayor Harvey. Certainly. So the bylaw

38
00:04:59,426 --> 00:05:03,746
currently allows a 12 square meter basement access depression and

39
00:05:03,746 --> 00:05:06,466
the applicants here are requesting an increase from 12 square

40
00:05:06,506 --> 00:05:09,746
meters to 21. 6 square meters for the size of

41
00:05:09,746 --> 00:05:15,623
the basement access depression. Thank you. Thank you for that.

42
00:05:15,623 --> 00:05:18,503
And I did read the report with interest, of course,

43
00:05:18,524 --> 00:05:23,923
and staff outlined a few risks involved with precedent, you

44
00:05:23,923 --> 00:05:26,663
know, letting this type of variance go when normally there

45
00:05:26,703 --> 00:05:32,794
is a bylawship forth. I think if there's, you know,

46
00:05:32,794 --> 00:05:34,414
I think I feel a little bit more comfortable if

47
00:05:34,414 --> 00:05:37,134
we're going to see this a little more. I know

48
00:05:37,155 --> 00:05:39,514
we sort of saw something on our last agenda. The

49
00:05:39,514 --> 00:05:42,974
next item on the agenda also has this basement access

50
00:05:43,315 --> 00:05:46,974
depression. Um, if we wanted to relook at the bylaw,

51
00:05:46,974 --> 00:05:48,814
that's one thing. But I think doing these one -

52
00:05:48,814 --> 00:05:52,734
off approvals, um, with the risks that staff of outlined

53
00:05:53,235 --> 00:05:56,734
is just, um, maybe getting ahead of ourselves. I think

54
00:05:56,995 --> 00:05:59,134
too, with the report, you know, I think it's kind

55
00:05:59,134 --> 00:06:02,325
of asking for too much. Staff don't really see the

56
00:06:02,346 --> 00:06:05,525
need to double the size of the depression. And I'm

57
00:06:05,525 --> 00:06:06,645
just not sure if it's more than what they need

58
00:06:06,666 --> 00:06:09,125
for access to two dwellings. So those are my comments.

59
00:06:10,687 --> 00:06:18,098
Thanks. Any further comments. Councillor Hall. Thank you. Um, I

60
00:06:18,138 --> 00:06:21,278
just want to say I appreciate the concerns around, um,

61
00:06:21,799 --> 00:06:23,938
uh, in the, in the report and with regards to

62
00:06:24,119 --> 00:06:26,578
precedent. And I don't take those lightly. Um, but this

63
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:30,578
property does have some unique circumstances. The lot slopes upward

64
00:06:31,799 --> 00:06:35,138
resulting in a deeper basement axis and the need for

65
00:06:35,239 --> 00:06:41,618
larger staircase. Um, the larger basement axis does provide a

66
00:06:41,719 --> 00:06:46,978
safer, more functional space, um, also independent access, making things,

67
00:06:46,978 --> 00:06:50,498
um, practical like moving furniture, uh, in and out and

68
00:06:50,538 --> 00:06:53,858
creates a brighter, more, sorry, a brighter, more open living

69
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,298
environment for the secondary suite, which in my opinion, I

70
00:06:57,298 --> 00:06:59,538
think is a big draw. Um, for me, this comes

71
00:06:59,578 --> 00:07:04,098
down to the specific site conditions, um, for this property.

72
00:07:04,098 --> 00:07:07,698
And I believe that with a significant slope, um, and

73
00:07:07,719 --> 00:07:11,218
functional benefits, it does justify a little bit of flexibility

74
00:07:11,258 --> 00:07:16,338
here. And therefore I am comfortable supporting the variance. Thank

75
00:07:16,338 --> 00:07:20,876
you. Any further discussion. Councillor Kruger, please. Uh, yeah, thanks.

76
00:07:20,876 --> 00:07:26,636
I think the picture on attachment E really illustrates the

77
00:07:26,817 --> 00:07:29,036
problem here and what the applicant's trying to do. It's,

78
00:07:29,036 --> 00:07:31,116
it's cheaper to not go for the variance. It's going

79
00:07:31,116 --> 00:07:32,436
to be more expensive for them because it's going to

80
00:07:32,436 --> 00:07:34,236
be increased excavation cost, but you've got to think about

81
00:07:34,276 --> 00:07:38,496
the fact there'd be people living in these units. The

82
00:07:38,536 --> 00:07:40,336
secondary suite is going to get built no matter what.

83
00:07:40,336 --> 00:07:41,936
It's about the quality of life for the tenants that

84
00:07:41,936 --> 00:07:44,736
are going to be living in here. You know, the,

85
00:07:44,736 --> 00:07:46,976
the, the, the issues that have incited with regards to,

86
00:07:46,997 --> 00:07:49,376
to access the ability to move furniture in and out

87
00:07:49,376 --> 00:07:52,656
of the suite, uh, light the ability to actually have

88
00:07:52,837 --> 00:07:55,216
natural light coming into the suite. So I'm fine with

89
00:07:55,216 --> 00:07:58,097
this. We've got a variance process for a reason. And,

90
00:07:58,097 --> 00:08:01,697
uh, in this particular case, and as Councillor Joel noted,

91
00:08:01,697 --> 00:08:04,097
uh, the slope of the site, uh, I'm very comfortable

92
00:08:04,137 --> 00:08:05,857
with it. But, uh, again, we've got to be thinking

93
00:08:05,857 --> 00:08:08,737
about when we're approving these units, that people are going

94
00:08:08,737 --> 00:08:09,937
to be living in here. These are going to be

95
00:08:09,937 --> 00:08:12,317
people's homes. We're going to be raising their families. Um,

96
00:08:12,438 --> 00:08:14,828
and so the quality of life considerations as well. Uh,

97
00:08:14,929 --> 00:08:16,428
so without mine, I'm fine with it in this case.

98
00:08:17,323 --> 00:08:21,937
Thank you. Any further discussion. Ms. Spence, quite a bit

99
00:08:21,937 --> 00:08:25,799
of time today going over this. And this extra space

100
00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,232
isn't about making the health speaker. It specifically needed to

101
00:08:29,232 --> 00:08:33,390
fit a wheelchair accessible ramp instead of just stairs. Since

102
00:08:33,571 --> 00:08:36,510
ramps need much more room to make us safe, gentle

103
00:08:36,611 --> 00:08:38,750
slope. In looking at the rest of the numbers, the

104
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:41,390
house is still well under the size in lock coverage

105
00:08:41,411 --> 00:08:44,649
limits allowed for this property. So this isn't a pattern

106
00:08:44,689 --> 00:08:46,969
of the owner's trying to build more than they're permitted.

107
00:08:46,969 --> 00:08:49,049
It's really a one - off need specifically tied to

108
00:08:49,150 --> 00:08:53,869
accessibility. And as other Councillor just mentioned with regards to

109
00:08:54,690 --> 00:08:56,429
it is more expensive to do. But it's for a

110
00:08:56,429 --> 00:09:00,029
good reason to provide accessibility for the use of that

111
00:09:00,050 --> 00:09:04,391
suite in the future. I'll call the question. All those

112
00:09:04,431 --> 00:09:13,293
in favor. Any opposed and carried. Madam Kirk.

113
00:09:14,467 --> 00:09:17,406
One more. Thank you. Your worship that brings us to

114
00:09:17,427 --> 00:09:20,208
item 5. 2. In a late to move a motion

115
00:09:20,389 --> 00:09:26,208
with regards to the development. That development variance permit, LU010010,

116
00:09:26,208 --> 00:09:31,467
the issue. And is there any discussion. Councillor Binder, please?

117
00:09:31,728 --> 00:09:37,707
Yeah, just very briefly. I similarly did review, uh, this.

118
00:09:37,707 --> 00:09:41,227
And it has a similar circumstance relative to the stairwell.

119
00:09:41,694 --> 00:09:44,473
But the other, uh, issue with this is the option

120
00:09:44,513 --> 00:09:49,433
of, um, not allowing for the, uh, sanitary, uh, to

121
00:09:49,473 --> 00:09:53,433
remain on the current gravity feed. And, um, the City

122
00:09:53,473 --> 00:09:58,793
of Delta has generally approved gravity feed for the sanitary

123
00:09:59,534 --> 00:10:03,273
in situations where it is not appropriate or accessible. In

124
00:10:03,273 --> 00:10:06,373
this case, that's very unique. And I really understand, uh,

125
00:10:06,654 --> 00:10:09,273
where staff was coming from because of the accessibility is

126
00:10:09,313 --> 00:10:10,793
on the right of way. But the right way is

127
00:10:10,894 --> 00:10:14,553
there it's established. Um, the other homes that are here

128
00:10:14,654 --> 00:10:17,673
have been there for, uh, a significant amount of time

129
00:10:17,774 --> 00:10:22,953
as well. And the, uh, costs of maintenance and the

130
00:10:22,974 --> 00:10:28,713
risk of failure for a pump fed gravity, um, anti

131
00:10:28,713 --> 00:10:32,633
- gravity, uh, does actually put the home and others

132
00:10:32,734 --> 00:10:36,473
at risk. So gravity feet has worked. It's our preference.

133
00:10:36,473 --> 00:10:38,633
And it circumstances where it doesn't work. I think it

134
00:10:38,673 --> 00:10:41,913
should not be allowed. But in this particular case in

135
00:10:41,913 --> 00:10:44,393
spite of its slight uniqueness, I think the gravity feed

136
00:10:44,574 --> 00:10:46,633
that is there makes sense. And I think it should

137
00:10:46,673 --> 00:10:51,193
be, uh, retained. So I will be, uh, I will

138
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:53,193
not be supporting this staff recommendation. I would like to

139
00:10:53,193 --> 00:10:59,254
move forward with the, uh, the variance. Alternate motion. Thank

140
00:10:59,254 --> 00:11:02,455
you. Andy for the discussion. I couldn't imagine having a

141
00:11:02,495 --> 00:11:05,495
single family home where you rely on, uh, pump for

142
00:11:05,676 --> 00:11:08,775
the sanitary sewage. We do do that for storm stories

143
00:11:08,876 --> 00:11:12,455
in certain conditions, especially up in North Delta, but I

144
00:11:12,455 --> 00:11:16,135
understand correct me if I'm wrong, Mr. Weber, uh, that

145
00:11:16,476 --> 00:11:20,535
this sanitary sewer is already helps connections from houses close

146
00:11:20,535 --> 00:11:27,607
by. To the proposed lot. Mayor Harvey. Yes. So there

147
00:11:27,607 --> 00:11:30,007
is a line at the rear of the property where

148
00:11:30,028 --> 00:11:32,887
the right of way, um, is in place. And then

149
00:11:32,908 --> 00:11:36,007
there's also a line along the property frontage in the

150
00:11:36,047 --> 00:11:39,645
road on cable two. But that's just correct. That's for

151
00:11:40,946 --> 00:11:46,758
a pump system. Uh, Jameer Harvey. Pump would be required

152
00:11:47,019 --> 00:11:50,598
to connect to the cable due sanitary sewer line. Yes.

153
00:11:50,699 --> 00:11:53,920
What would happen when the power went off. Is there

154
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,680
storage? Do they have to have a storage tank? Or

155
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:58,080
I've never heard of a single family home, as I

156
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,760
mentioned before. Actually having to pump sewage. I know there's

157
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,000
collections where I can say like toast and springs. There's

158
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,240
a big pompost there that collects all the sewage and

159
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,480
pumps it under pressure, of course, into the big, uh,

160
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,520
the main sanitary transfer lines over town. This is Ireland.

161
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,173
But not a single family home. Yeah, I think this

162
00:12:15,194 --> 00:12:17,653
is really one of, but since there is an available

163
00:12:17,914 --> 00:12:21,253
sewer, paid for by taxes, people should have the ability

164
00:12:21,293 --> 00:12:25,456
to, uh, to use that line. So thank you. Anything

165
00:12:25,496 --> 00:12:31,242
further Councillor Gisha. Thank you, Mayor Harvey. And thanks I'm

166
00:12:31,242 --> 00:12:35,162
getting some information here that I think overall, um, both

167
00:12:35,183 --> 00:12:39,722
of these applications, um, I'm, I'm referring to the staff's

168
00:12:39,762 --> 00:12:42,682
expertise here. And both, both have come forward as to

169
00:12:42,722 --> 00:12:45,955
be denied. Very rarely. I feel like to our staff

170
00:12:45,976 --> 00:12:49,075
bring things forward and request to deny them. And I

171
00:12:49,075 --> 00:12:51,795
think without more information, perhaps that we just started to

172
00:12:51,816 --> 00:12:54,755
get into. This isn't my area of expertise. And I

173
00:12:54,755 --> 00:12:57,315
am relying on staff's expertise that, you know, they're the

174
00:12:57,315 --> 00:13:00,275
ones doing this a lot and working with, with applicants

175
00:13:00,315 --> 00:13:01,795
and working with the right of ways and working with

176
00:13:02,376 --> 00:13:05,715
the systems, uh, I'm just going to go with the

177
00:13:05,715 --> 00:13:08,915
recommendation on the table of to be denied and just

178
00:13:08,955 --> 00:13:11,475
follow staff's expertise on something that I don't see very

179
00:13:11,496 --> 00:13:18,976
often. So thanks. Anything further. On the motion. I'll call

180
00:13:18,976 --> 00:13:23,254
the question. All those in favor. Any opposed. Councillor Gational

181
00:13:23,355 --> 00:13:27,348
Post. Thank you. And carried. Thank you. That brings us

182
00:13:27,388 --> 00:13:31,588
to item 5. 3 food processing in the agricultural land

183
00:13:31,628 --> 00:13:34,228
reserve. I do want to draw council's attention to one

184
00:13:34,268 --> 00:13:36,868
piece of correspondence that's been provided on table as well

185
00:13:36,868 --> 00:13:41,028
as the public binder copy outside chambers. Uh, the recommendation

186
00:13:41,068 --> 00:13:43,748
before council is A that staff be directed to send

187
00:13:43,788 --> 00:13:46,308
a letter generally as provided in attachment A to the

188
00:13:46,329 --> 00:13:49,108
Ministry of Agriculture and Food with commons and concerns regarding

189
00:13:49,148 --> 00:13:52,708
the impact of permitting more processing facilities on lands within

190
00:13:52,729 --> 00:13:55,668
the agricultural land reserve. And B, that a copy of

191
00:13:55,668 --> 00:13:58,388
the letter and this report be sent to delta's MLAs

192
00:13:58,889 --> 00:14:02,468
and Payton and Ravi Kalon and the Delta Farmers Institute.

193
00:14:03,449 --> 00:14:08,817
The adoption of the recommendation. Second. Any discussion Kruger. Thank

194
00:14:08,817 --> 00:14:10,577
you. Thank you to staff for bringing this forward. I'm

195
00:14:10,577 --> 00:14:14,977
in support of the recommendation. Um, Council knows my day

196
00:14:15,017 --> 00:14:17,617
job I work with the BC dairy farmers. So the

197
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:20,337
dairy farmers are talking about this as well. I've unfortunate

198
00:14:20,377 --> 00:14:23,137
to attend a few meetings with the BC Agriculture Council.

199
00:14:23,137 --> 00:14:26,097
I think the vast majority of agricultural commodities that I

200
00:14:26,358 --> 00:14:30,257
have heard from have some significant concerns about the proposal.

201
00:14:30,958 --> 00:14:34,085
And what problem it's trying to solve. If it's trying

202
00:14:34,085 --> 00:14:38,165
to solve improving the ability to grow and process food

203
00:14:38,186 --> 00:14:41,365
and BC, well, let's look at the facts under the

204
00:14:41,365 --> 00:14:43,845
existing 50 - 50 rule, every farm has the ability

205
00:14:43,885 --> 00:14:46,866
to apply to the ALC. If they're not in compliance

206
00:14:46,866 --> 00:14:50,632
with that rule. Uh, there is a process and there

207
00:14:50,813 --> 00:14:53,512
have been examples that can be pointed to across the

208
00:14:53,693 --> 00:14:56,712
Fraser Valley and, uh, and lore mainland where farms have

209
00:14:56,712 --> 00:15:00,485
been successful in getting on farm processing. Outside of that

210
00:15:00,525 --> 00:15:03,914
rule. But removing, bringing this all the way down to

211
00:15:04,015 --> 00:15:07,898
five percent, the issues. Number one, the limited direct benefit

212
00:15:07,919 --> 00:15:13,078
to agriculture. Number two, the risk of serious speculation when

213
00:15:13,118 --> 00:15:16,629
it comes to the cost of farmland. We're going to

214
00:15:16,669 --> 00:15:19,349
start to see, like again, I'm looking at the folks

215
00:15:19,389 --> 00:15:22,949
who are championing this. It's not the agricultural commodity groups.

216
00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:24,549
It's the food and beverage groups. It's the chambers of

217
00:15:24,650 --> 00:15:28,061
commerce. It's members of industry. Um. It's going to be

218
00:15:28,061 --> 00:15:29,901
really difficult to grow food if the cost of farmland

219
00:15:29,941 --> 00:15:33,257
becomes prohibitive to farm it. And the third piece is

220
00:15:33,257 --> 00:15:42,562
enforcement. I don't know how you fit enforce that the

221
00:15:42,562 --> 00:15:48,002
ALC has what six bylaw officers for all the BC.

222
00:15:48,002 --> 00:15:50,922
They're in serious. Staffing shortage. We just received on table

223
00:15:50,943 --> 00:15:56,362
a, uh, very comprehensive 17 page letter from the ALC.

224
00:15:56,362 --> 00:15:57,802
And I just want to read one paragraph quickly where

225
00:15:57,802 --> 00:16:02,122
they say, um, on page one, the proposal raises serious

226
00:16:02,162 --> 00:16:04,522
concerns regarding the long - term protection of the agricultural

227
00:16:04,703 --> 00:16:08,822
land base, the viability of farming, agricultural land affordability, and

228
00:16:09,023 --> 00:16:12,762
the continuability of the ALR to fulfill its statutory purposes.

229
00:16:12,762 --> 00:16:16,042
And the commission's view, the proposed represents a significant policy

230
00:16:16,143 --> 00:16:19,482
shift that has not been supported by evidence, demonstrating the

231
00:16:19,522 --> 00:16:22,122
need for change or showing that the proposed change would

232
00:16:22,223 --> 00:16:26,442
increase agricultural production, improve farm viability, or enhanced food security

233
00:16:26,463 --> 00:16:30,202
with NBC. Uh, in addition to all that, as the

234
00:16:30,242 --> 00:16:33,162
staff report notes, um, our staff need more time to

235
00:16:33,162 --> 00:16:36,122
review what the implications would be for Delta. So for

236
00:16:36,162 --> 00:16:38,122
all those reasons, yeah, I've got a number of series

237
00:16:38,162 --> 00:16:40,122
concerns. And I'm glad that we're hopefully going to be

238
00:16:40,143 --> 00:16:49,121
sending this letter today. Thank you. Anything further. Councillor Guishong.

239
00:16:49,121 --> 00:16:51,601
Thank you Mayor Harvey. And thank you Councillor Kruger. Completely

240
00:16:51,641 --> 00:16:57,041
agree. Um, with everything you said, um, this seemed very,

241
00:16:57,062 --> 00:17:00,561
very odd to me to come forward. But I feel

242
00:17:00,601 --> 00:17:03,601
like with my expertise and those that you share with

243
00:17:04,022 --> 00:17:07,361
even the dairy farmers, it will have a very adverse

244
00:17:07,401 --> 00:17:11,361
effect on local farms and how, uh, we, we get

245
00:17:11,361 --> 00:17:15,761
food production today. Lots of speculation. Land prices will soar.

246
00:17:15,761 --> 00:17:17,761
It'll make it, as you said, so much harder for

247
00:17:18,422 --> 00:17:20,561
just everyday farmers to get a crop on the ground

248
00:17:21,142 --> 00:17:24,961
if we are proposing something, um, of this magnitude on

249
00:17:25,062 --> 00:17:30,481
potentially 50 percent of delta, which is in the ALR.

250
00:17:30,521 --> 00:17:33,121
I am absolutely here. Like there is a place for

251
00:17:33,142 --> 00:17:40,085
food processing, especially processing very local commodities. I was just

252
00:17:40,085 --> 00:17:42,965
not, not completely missing the mark. Also very glad to

253
00:17:42,965 --> 00:17:46,405
see the LC give that report very much concerns, very

254
00:17:46,405 --> 00:17:47,925
much in line with staff staff. Thank you for the

255
00:17:47,946 --> 00:17:51,505
report. Um, it was bang on. It's, it's exactly, uh,

256
00:17:51,505 --> 00:17:54,085
what I was thinking too. So thank you and very

257
00:17:54,085 --> 00:17:57,926
happy to send those concerns off. Thank you. Thank you

258
00:17:57,947 --> 00:18:01,574
for your discussion. Hey, we all just received this, uh,

259
00:18:01,935 --> 00:18:05,194
appreciate Councillor Krug has the insight to have more information

260
00:18:05,935 --> 00:18:10,474
at this time as we've had, um, appreciated his comments.

261
00:18:10,474 --> 00:18:13,954
And Councillor Guichons comments also. I just want to, I

262
00:18:13,954 --> 00:18:16,714
just shaking my head here. This discussion paper does not

263
00:18:16,714 --> 00:18:20,874
explain who will review agriculture capability assessments when or whether

264
00:18:20,914 --> 00:18:24,154
those assessments will be reviewed, how conflicting professional opinions would

265
00:18:24,194 --> 00:18:27,434
result, how ongoing compliance with the five percent sourcing threshold

266
00:18:27,615 --> 00:18:30,474
feed monitored, help cumulative impacts will be tracked. What resources

267
00:18:30,655 --> 00:18:33,434
will be dicated enforcement. And we know right now there's

268
00:18:33,434 --> 00:18:36,474
no resources to enforce it. What occurs when a facility

269
00:18:36,495 --> 00:18:40,661
fails to meet eligibility requirements after construction. Sounds like it

270
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:44,101
was written for delta in a way. So, uh, appreciate

271
00:18:44,141 --> 00:18:47,227
all the comments. And I'll call the question, all those

272
00:18:47,267 --> 00:18:52,514
in favor. And carried. Thank you. That brings us to

273
00:18:52,775 --> 00:18:56,194
part six correspondence. The next item is 6. 1 correspondence

274
00:18:56,194 --> 00:19:00,114
from Metro Vancouver data July 27, 2026 regarding Metro 2050

275
00:19:00,135 --> 00:19:04,274
Type 3 proposed amendments, City of Vancouver, the Molson site,

276
00:19:04,274 --> 00:19:07,154
and the recommendation is that the correspondence from Metro Vancouver

277
00:19:07,335 --> 00:19:11,554
dated July 27th regarding Metro 50 Type 3 proposed amendment

278
00:19:11,575 --> 00:19:13,624
be received into the record. Move it option to the

279
00:19:13,624 --> 00:19:18,184
recommendation. Second for the comment, all those in favor and

280
00:19:18,205 --> 00:19:20,798
Carrie, Madam Clerk. Thank you. And that brings us to

281
00:19:20,819 --> 00:19:24,928
a German yourship. Council, please. Motion to adjourn. All those

282
00:19:24,968 --> 00:19:26,448
in favor and Carrie. Thank you everybody.
