00:00:03,940 --> 00:00:13,820
Good morning, everyone. To now call the September 1st Committee, the whole meeting to order. The time is 11 o'clock. I'd like to start by acknowledging the city

2
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:31,200
carries out its business on the unceded traditional territory of the Catesy First Nation in the Quantland. And before I turn it over to corporate office, welcome back everyone. I hope you enjoyed the break. I'm sure staff, although they didn't necessarily get a break, got a break from council chambers.

3
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:36,220
So hopefully everyone got to get some time away and some rest.

4
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,480
So now I will turn it over to the corporate officer.

5
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:42,260
Good morning.

6
00:00:43,140 --> 00:00:46,680
This meeting is being livestreamed and recorded and will be available for playback on our

7
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,180
website.

8
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,940
Committee of the Whole is the initial venue for Council to receive information, ask questions

9
00:00:51,940 --> 00:00:53,360
of clarity and debate issues.

10
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,860
All recommendations are forwarded to the next regular council meeting for consideration.

11
00:00:58,780 --> 00:01:02,000
for members of the public who would like to speak on agenda items

12
00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:09,750
there will be an opportunity during public comment on agenda items shortly.

13
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:21,300
All right. Thank you very much. So for a sort of business is approval of the agenda. Could I have somebody to move by Mayor Romney seconded by Councillor Chan.

14
00:01:21,300 --> 00:01:23,380

00:01:26,010 --> 00:01:28,310

00:01:49,650 --> 00:01:50,170

22
00:01:51,330 --> 00:01:51,830
Did you vote?

23
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,540
We'll get back in the groove.

24
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,900
All right, that's care unanimously, and moving on to adoption of the minutes.

25
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:10,300
Can I have someone move the minutes please, Councillor Schiller, seconded by Councillor Carreras, any errors or emissions?

26
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000

So now I get the great pleasure of presentations.

30
00:02:34,810 --> 00:02:39,170
The request to council is made for a JRP and introduction of new members.

31
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,580
This is exciting.

32
00:02:46,260 --> 00:02:47,300
I love this part.

33
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:55,010
Good morning, we also like this part.

34
00:02:56,030 --> 00:03:01,750
Good morning, Mr. Mayor, City Council members.

35
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:05,050
Thank you for allowing me to present today.

00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:08,490
Our newest member to the Maple Ridge RCMP.

00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:13,770
It is a privilege for me to introduce to you the five of our newest member

38
00:03:13,770 --> 00:03:19,250
who have all completed their training at the depot Academy in Saskatchewan.

39
00:03:19,250 --> 00:03:24,670
They are all working frontline in general duty protecting our community.

40
00:03:24,810 --> 00:03:30,870
I would like to ask each of them to come one at a time and to do themselves to city council.

41
00:03:31,890 --> 00:03:32,750
And, uh, and yeah?

42
00:03:33,190 --> 00:03:34,250
Okay. Awesome.

43
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:36,990
Welcome to the microphone, please.

44
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:40,270
Well, good afternoon everybody.

45
00:03:40,890 --> 00:03:44,490
I feel very welcome to be invited to come here and meet you guys and introduce myself.

46
00:03:45,330 --> 00:03:49,710
My name is Mike Sontar. I'm actually a Maple Ridge resident for the last 10 years.

47
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:54,690
So I was very happy that after my recruit training that I would be placed here.

48
00:03:56,450 --> 00:04:01,870
Just want to say that I'm excited to serve the community that I've lived in the last 10 years.

49
00:04:02,030 --> 00:04:05,230
And I'm very happy that I was placed here in Maple Ridge.

50
00:04:05,970 --> 00:04:11,390
The RCMP here is phenomenal. The training is amazing. It's a very thorough and the standards are quite high.

51
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:14,190
And I absolutely love that.

52
00:04:14,290 --> 00:04:15,910
I absolutely used to run a small business here

53
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:18,010
when I was in the trades.

54
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:22,230
And yeah, I'm sad to be back home.

55
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:22,710
Awesome.

56
00:04:22,930 --> 00:04:23,990
Thank you so much.

57
00:04:28,390 --> 00:04:29,370
Good morning, everyone.

58
00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:34,130
It's a considerable, simple thing.

59
00:04:34,990 --> 00:04:35,950
I live in Coordell.

60
00:04:36,270 --> 00:04:38,050
I used to work at KBC Cancer Center

00:04:38,050 --> 00:04:39,750
so he has the Kim Jong-et Coordinator.

62
00:04:41,610 --> 00:04:46,110
Please sing, please sing is not just a job for me, it's kind of my passion.

63
00:04:48,690 --> 00:04:53,710
I'm planning to move to my prayer soon, so being a part of this wonderful city.

64
00:04:54,970 --> 00:05:01,130
I would say, like, public safety is not just part of my job, it's my priority one.

65
00:05:01,530 --> 00:05:02,150
Thank you.

66
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:04,010
Awesome, thank you so much.

67
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:11,530
A bit when you went to depot, you didn't think you were going to have to come and introduce yourself to the Mayor of the Council, right?

68
00:05:12,450 --> 00:05:13,310
That's correct.

69
00:05:14,110 --> 00:05:15,010
Good morning everyone.

70
00:05:15,450 --> 00:05:16,130
I'm Constable Sandu.

71
00:05:16,830 --> 00:05:19,310
I've been living in sorry most of my life.

72
00:05:20,370 --> 00:05:26,550
But I'm happy to be back in my marriage and used to come here for all the hikes and lakes.

73
00:05:26,950 --> 00:05:28,370
And I got to be part of this community.

74
00:05:28,370 --> 00:05:35,610
feel good and yeah it's happy to be here and help they say community anyway I can and

75
00:05:36,070 --> 00:05:39,830
before that I was working in Vancouver. I had different experience with the

76
00:05:39,830 --> 00:05:45,890
weepity over there with my security job and bringing the experience here. It's part of

77
00:05:45,890 --> 00:05:47,570
job. Thank you. Thank you.

78
00:05:50,820 --> 00:05:55,680
Well good morning everyone. Thank you for allowing us to be here. I'm not really

79
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,260
good at speeches but you're going to have nothing. I'm comfortable

80
00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:04,840
all. It's been just over three months, being with me for a jar of some P. Prior to being

81
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:09,540
part of the RCMP, I used to work at the Burnby Youth Custody Center for about three years.

82
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,400
So it allowed me to work and learn about what youth and their different upbrings and

83
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,160
a lot of mental health. So it allowed me to develop those kind of skills. So I'm really looking

84
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:26,480
forward to working with a lot of the youth in the community. And as well as serving and being a part

85
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,680
of the city of Maple Ridge, so I'm really grateful,

86
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,440
really excited, looking forward to many years.

87
00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:32,540
So thank you, everyone.

88
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,740
Thank you.

89
00:06:37,060 --> 00:06:38,240
Hi, everyone, nice to meet everyone.

90
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:39,560
This is Constable Malik here.

91
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:43,840
I would like to say that I'm very happy to be here in Maple Ridge

92
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:45,660
and to serve everyone.

93
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,900
I really look forward to making a great difference

94
00:06:47,900 --> 00:06:48,980
in the city of Maple Ridge.

95
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,420
Before our Shampoo, I used to be a bridge

96
00:06:52,420 --> 00:06:54,120
Columbia Sheriff for five years.

97
00:06:54,980 --> 00:06:57,160
That was a great opportunity for me to learn

98
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,820
about many things.

99
00:07:00,180 --> 00:07:02,800
And in my spare time, I'm a big fitness enthusiast

100
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,740
and I love playing basketball.

101
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:05,380
So, thank you.

102
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,060
Thank you.

103
00:07:06,220 --> 00:07:08,120
And maybe we should go around.

104
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:09,940
So you know who we are around the table.

105
00:07:09,940 --> 00:07:11,320
I'm going to start with Mayor Rooney.

106
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,200
Well, I think you know who I am.

107
00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:16,420
I grilled you all.

108
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,440
You can individually, in my office.

109
00:07:19,220 --> 00:07:24,500
But Mayor Dan Rooney, great to see you here in action today.

110
00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:26,560
And y'all did great with your speeches.

111
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:27,660
Sorry.

112
00:07:27,660 --> 00:07:28,460
Alright.

113
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,720
That was great, so welcome to Maple Ridge. Thank you.

114
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,960
Thank you, and good call councillor Jerk. I was thinking, you know, they don't all get up and introduce themselves.

115
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,660
And what about us? So nice to meet you all today. I am councillor Sunny Schiller.

116
00:07:44,380 --> 00:07:46,040
Okay. Councillor Can.

117
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Thank you, Chair. Good to meet you all. I'm Councillor Jenny Tan.

118
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,560
It's like you're to meet you all. Councillor Currs.

119
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,200
Thank you, so I'm Councillor Courlain Carreras. And it's really great to meet you all.

120
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,360
I love hearing about your diverse backgrounds and I think that sort of the different things

121
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,500
that have brought you to policing will serve us really well in our community and I loved

122
00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:16,000
the youth and the connection with other, whether it's small business or provincial government

123
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:16,540
and corrections.

124
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:18,840
I think that will just really serve us well in Maple Ridge.

125
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,780
So, welcome and I hope you enjoy your time.

126
00:08:20,820 --> 00:08:22,520
Here's much as all of us do around the table.

127
00:08:22,780 --> 00:08:23,020
Thank you.

128
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:27,000
And Councillor Dozy is all in line, but I think you can see.

129
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:27,600
Yes.

130
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:27,860
Yes.

131
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:30,660
Yeah, I don't see you, I'm listening to you.

132
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:33,300
Yeah, my name is Onyakadu Zekhan, you're nearby the way.

133
00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,180
Yeah, we can hear you.

134
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,300
Okay, my name is Onyakadu Zekhan,

135
00:08:37,580 --> 00:08:42,540
and I want to say how grateful I am to each and every one of you

136
00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:44,680
that devoted themselves to service,

137
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,180
especially to the city of Maple Reach,

138
00:08:47,540 --> 00:08:50,080
because police have been an issue,

139
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,380
and I want to say that it looks like

140
00:08:53,950 --> 00:08:56,830
when I was now being forward, because

141
00:08:56,830 --> 00:09:03,430
I did not view guys, I already did not close to enough of you guys to support this safety

142
00:09:03,430 --> 00:09:09,650
and make sure that people can work around me, to reach and feel safe and for me personally,

143
00:09:10,270 --> 00:09:16,690
I want to say that you can't fall in a human face because it should to need this morning that

144
00:09:16,690 --> 00:09:20,850
these policemen that move around in these vehicles and dress this way,

145
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:27,330
I'm glad that you are moving into the city to live with us and become a corporate member

146
00:09:27,330 --> 00:09:28,030
of the society.

147
00:09:28,490 --> 00:09:32,810
Again, congratulations on your new positions and I look forward to you keeping us a lot

148
00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:34,270
of our safe in this community.

149
00:09:34,750 --> 00:09:35,610
Thank you.

150
00:09:36,030 --> 00:09:36,510
Thank you.

151
00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:38,570
And I'm Judy Deault, Councillor.

152
00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:44,050
I'm in this chair because we take rotation on the acting there and it happens to be my turn.

153
00:09:44,330 --> 00:09:48,090
That's why normally the mayor chairs all the other meetings except for committee of the

154
00:09:48,090 --> 00:09:53,190
So, thank you so much for coming and introducing yourself, and as Councillor Carreras said,

155
00:09:53,290 --> 00:09:58,430
it's really nice to hear your background and your passion, and just thank you so much

156
00:09:58,430 --> 00:10:06,470
for your service, the public support you 100 percent, and we just really appreciate your efforts.

157
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:07,790
So, thank you.

158
00:10:07,790 --> 00:10:10,070
It was a pleasure to meet you.

159
00:10:10,670 --> 00:10:10,990
Excellent.

160
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:11,590
Thank you.

161
00:10:11,630 --> 00:10:12,350
Just in closing.

162
00:10:12,910 --> 00:10:14,610
I would like to echo your comment.

163
00:10:14,610 --> 00:10:20,730
in Israel, I've worked in four different detachments across two provinces and this is the first

164
00:10:20,730 --> 00:10:25,010
time I'm hearing that members are allowed to come to City Council and introduce themselves,

165
00:10:25,030 --> 00:10:31,170
which I think it's a neat opportunity. They bring a lot of new energy commitment and I'm looking

166
00:10:31,170 --> 00:10:38,070
for to have them work and make words for several several years. Thank you. And I'm not sure if you

167
00:10:38,070 --> 00:10:41,370
a photo with them. We want a photo. Okay. Awesome.

168
00:11:18,820 --> 00:11:21,280
I think grab it. I want you guys one, say one

169
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,500
wrong or listen to me. I hear one, two, three,

170
00:11:28,580 --> 00:11:32,040
two, three, two, one more, two, three.

171
00:11:37,460 --> 00:11:37,680
That's

172
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:41,420
mine. I'm sure with you guys. Perfect. Thank you very much.

173
00:12:06,540 --> 00:12:08,420
Do you make a request to Scott?

174
00:12:08,420 --> 00:12:09,120
All

175
00:12:24,930 --> 00:12:28,550
right, that's what makes these meetings so enjoyable.

176
00:12:28,910 --> 00:12:32,290
It's more than just a bunch of paperwork and presentations.

177
00:12:33,810 --> 00:12:37,870
All right, moving on to public comment on agenda items, corporate officer.

178
00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:39,630
Turn it over to you, please.

179
00:12:40,070 --> 00:12:42,310
We are now opening the public comment period.

180
00:12:42,890 --> 00:12:47,590
If you wish to speak on any items listed on today's agenda, you must do so at this time.

181
00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:49,890
There will not be another opportunity later in the meeting.

182
00:12:49,890 --> 00:13:01,090
Item 7.2, application 2023-004-RZ is not open for public comment due to a public hearing

183
00:13:01,090 --> 00:13:05,810
being prohibited on this item. Each speaker will have two minutes to speak to Council regarding

184
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:10,870
items on today's agenda. A second opportunity may be provided once all speakers in the queue

185
00:13:10,870 --> 00:13:16,150
have had an opportunity to speak. The total time allotted for public comment is 15 minutes.

186
00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:20,590
For those in council chambers, please come forward to the podium when the chair calls for speakers.

187
00:13:21,290 --> 00:13:26,510
If you'd like a second opportunity for public comment, please return to your seat until the chair calls for a second round.

188
00:13:27,430 --> 00:13:32,710
For those participating electronically, please use the raised hand icon and when called upon, please turn on your camera.

189
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:39,790
All speakers please clearly state your name, your city of residence and the item number in which you are speaking to before beginning your comments.

190
00:13:41,190 --> 00:13:45,070
Thank you very much. Is there anyone in chambers wishing to address council?

191
00:13:45,070 --> 00:13:45,870
not

192
00:13:49,230 --> 00:13:54,750
seeing anyone. And is there anyone online? I'm not seeing anybody.

193
00:13:57,580 --> 00:13:58,800
Nope. Okay.

194
00:13:59,420 --> 00:14:04,280
Well, we're going to move right on on. So we're going to move into a 7.1.

195
00:14:13,410 --> 00:14:18,990
Item 7.1 is the proposed policy to provide framework for naming and renaming of

196
00:14:18,990 --> 00:14:23,490
public parks and public spaces in Maple Ridge. Stafford and attendance to present.

197
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:24,910
Good morning.

198
00:14:25,630 --> 00:14:25,750
Good morning.

199
00:14:26,090 --> 00:14:30,250
Nice to present to you today on this new park naming policy.

200
00:14:30,890 --> 00:14:33,210
This is something that's been in the works for a little bit of time.

201
00:14:33,530 --> 00:14:37,970
I'll walk you through our process and an overview of the policy today.

202
00:14:39,210 --> 00:14:40,710
So we'll give a little bit of a background.

203
00:14:41,270 --> 00:14:44,070
I'll talk about the engagement that we did with the communities of Council

204
00:14:44,670 --> 00:14:46,970
and giving an overview of the policy.

205
00:14:47,130 --> 00:14:49,190
Of course, the policy is attached to the report.

206
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:52,310
So you can read it and refer to it there and our recommendation.

207
00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:59,590
So, Park Naming really contributes to overall place making and what makes parks.

208
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:11,280
Unique and also presents an opportunity to celebrate parks and just the names that go along with them and, you know, the uniqueness of a place.

209
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:26,500
Reason we're doing this is to really to better update our park name of policy to the city's new strategic direction to embody community values and reflect inclusive park naming approaches and modernize our approach to this.

210
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:31,100
I mentioned that because we previously had a Parks and Leisure Services Commission policy.

211
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:35,560
Of course, that was prior to 2016 with the dissolution of that.

212
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,780
That has continued to provide some guidance in how we name parks,

213
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,560
but this is a city of Maple Ridge policy, something that was overdue

214
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,860
and that we've been working on developing now.

215
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:53,100
So engagement, I've gone to four different committee meetings.

216
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,480
So we've gone to the Engaged Healthy Community Advisory Committee in March and May.

217
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:05,260
talk to initially about a kind of a more general idea of Park Naming to tease out some of the

218
00:16:05,260 --> 00:16:12,680
feedback from committees then and then again later on with the draft proposal for the policy

219
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:18,160
that you see today. Similarly with the livable community advisory committee in February and May

220
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:24,300
of this year as well and we also sent referral letters to both KC First Nation and Quellan First Nation.

221
00:16:24,300 --> 00:16:29,580
We haven't heard back from either of those first nations, but we are open to continuing to

222
00:16:29,580 --> 00:16:35,300
receiving their feedback if they choose to. But the policy has been drafted in a way that is

223
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:40,560
still open to engagement from first nations, especially on discussion around a specific

224
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:44,980
park name that may incorporate an indigenous place name.

225
00:16:47,900 --> 00:16:49,820
So getting to a little overview of the policy

226
00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:54,620
here, I'm just going to read some of these statements. These are found in the policy itself.

227
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:59,560
So the city is committed to naming parks and public spaces in a manner that reflects its cultural heritage,

228
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:05,780
our community values, the contributions of its citizens and aims to create names that are meaningful, unique,

229
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,660
and have a lasting legacy. That's kind of our guiding statement on this policy.

230
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:14,720
The purpose of this policy is to set a direction, provide principles for the naming, renaming,

231
00:17:14,820 --> 00:17:17,460
and dedication of parks and public spaces within the city.

232
00:17:18,060 --> 00:17:21,400
This policy aligns with our municipal legislation, strategic goals,

233
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,800
to recognize historical significance, community contributions, and our cultural diversity.

234
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:32,100
And of course the scope of this policy it applies to all parks and public spaces under the jurisdiction of the city.

235
00:17:34,580 --> 00:17:37,240
A couple of things on the overall kind of naming criteria.

236
00:17:38,180 --> 00:17:42,680
Names really need to be distinctive and during and accessible to all.

237
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:51,500
I'll get into the park classification. There are some specific criteria around how we classify parks and the types of names that go along with those.

238
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:57,860
Generally, park names should avoid commercial, developer, anything discriminatory, or current

239
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,860
politician names, unless and there are some caveats, unless that aligns with the city's

240
00:18:03,860 --> 00:18:07,160
sponsorship advertising and naming rates policy here.

241
00:18:07,740 --> 00:18:12,000
Park features, so these are things that are in-parts, such as a picnic shelter, maybe

242
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:18,020
a playground or a sports field, can also be named with alignment with either this policy

243
00:18:18,020 --> 00:18:20,760
or our sponsorship and advertising policy.

244
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:26,240
And we would try to avoid immediately naming parks

245
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,780
after, say, a nearby school or facility,

246
00:18:29,060 --> 00:18:30,900
if it's not directly adjacent to it.

247
00:18:30,900 --> 00:18:33,620
So we just want to avoid confusion about a location

248
00:18:33,620 --> 00:18:36,840
of a park name or like that.

249
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,080
And then where an individual's name, a family name,

250
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,800
or an indigenous language name is proposed for a park naming,

251
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:44,720
these actions need to be supported by the family

252
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,300
and or first nation in writing.

253
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:50,720
so that we get that clarification and support from them in writing.

254
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:58,350
The Parks Classifications, specific criteria I mentioned before, this kind of guides

255
00:18:58,350 --> 00:19:02,770
how we name parks and what kind of names will come up with in suggest council.

256
00:19:04,210 --> 00:19:07,210
So we have a few different classifications, so signature parks.

257
00:19:07,450 --> 00:19:14,250
These are larger signature parks that we often hold events in such as Memorial Peace Park.

258
00:19:15,410 --> 00:19:21,610
Some of these, I won't go through all of them, but some of these categories and name types

259
00:19:21,610 --> 00:19:26,850
and themes could be Indigenous place names, geographical names, or historical importance

260
00:19:26,850 --> 00:19:34,810
to the city, destination parks, historical significance, geographical names, name parks after

261
00:19:34,810 --> 00:19:37,270
natural features, maybe found in these parks.

262
00:19:38,070 --> 00:19:43,130
And then we get into community parks and the potential for individuals or family names, it's

263
00:19:43,130 --> 00:19:49,350
recognition piece of contributions to the community, as well as adjacent school of facility

264
00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:49,730
names.

265
00:19:49,870 --> 00:19:53,350
So if a park is right beside a facility, you know, we can use that same name.

266
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:57,690
It's more of a ease of reference for those parks then.

267
00:19:59,170 --> 00:20:01,130
Can we move in down our list?

268
00:20:01,470 --> 00:20:06,110
So these are smaller parks on neighborhood parks, you know, we introduce naming parks after

269
00:20:06,110 --> 00:20:11,470
natural features, if Laura, that's plant life that may be found in those parks.

270
00:20:11,470 --> 00:20:16,620
or unique local names, or even subdivision names or road names nearby as well.

271
00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:19,510
Pocket parks are generally quite small.

272
00:20:20,130 --> 00:20:23,570
It can often be found as part of a multifamily development,

273
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:25,430
or some sort of urban development,

274
00:20:25,930 --> 00:20:28,230
so they could have the same name as that,

275
00:20:28,370 --> 00:20:30,090
or a subdivision or a local street,

276
00:20:30,570 --> 00:20:32,670
so something that identifies where they are,

277
00:20:33,670 --> 00:20:35,790
and a unique name as part of that.

278
00:20:35,790 --> 00:20:41,490
And then open spaces, these names generally reflect historical significance,

279
00:20:42,110 --> 00:20:45,750
so our cemeteries are classified as open spaces, as an example.

280
00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:50,150
I'm just going to go back one here.

281
00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:55,610
In all cases, Council is the final decision maker on park names,

282
00:20:55,810 --> 00:20:59,830
so our process is that we will take a report to Council with a name suggestion.

283
00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:03,750
Council approves that, then the park is officially named that.

284
00:21:03,750 --> 00:21:08,830
I'm just to clarify that our conservation areas or natural areas aren't named.

285
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:11,970
We refer to those by either addresses or other locations.

286
00:21:12,330 --> 00:21:17,190
So this is only our active park spaces that we're proposing this policy for.

287
00:21:17,950 --> 00:21:18,910
And there are a couple of other things.

288
00:21:19,090 --> 00:21:24,350
So naming the policy also includes opportunities to name parks and recognition of significant

289
00:21:24,350 --> 00:21:24,910
donors.

290
00:21:25,070 --> 00:21:29,910
So if someone has donated lands towards the park to name a park after them, which is where we

291
00:21:29,910 --> 00:21:36,450
We have a number of our park names already, and then of course in the policy there is discretion

292
00:21:36,450 --> 00:21:43,410
for exceptions to the policy, should Council provide that guidance, because there always

293
00:21:43,410 --> 00:21:49,790
are unique situations, especially when we get into individual situation and park names where

294
00:21:49,790 --> 00:21:52,250
some discretion may be warranted.

295
00:21:52,490 --> 00:21:56,590
And with that, our recommendation is there on the screen, the Council approve the park name

296
00:21:56,590 --> 00:22:01,410
policy and we obviously this is forwarding to the next regular council meeting, but I'm happy

297
00:22:01,410 --> 00:22:03,730
to take any questions on this.

298
00:22:04,110 --> 00:22:07,270
Thank you so much. Are you moving forward, Mayor Rumi?

299
00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:07,850
Yes.

300
00:22:08,410 --> 00:22:13,170
Okay, Mayor Rumi is moving forward to the next council meeting, seconded by Councillor Tan now

301
00:22:13,170 --> 00:22:15,490
open for questions, Mayor Rumi.

302
00:22:17,230 --> 00:22:20,750
Thank you very much. I think it's good to finally see this come forward.

303
00:22:25,070 --> 00:22:26,570
The only thing

304
00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:29,970
item C, a name must avoid commercial development.

305
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:37,200
We're discriminatory or current politician names, unless it aligns with the city's sponsorship, advertising and naming rights policy.

306
00:22:38,140 --> 00:22:43,000
I know we're not saying that discriminatory would align with that.

307
00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:54,800
That could be misinterpreted, so I'm wondering if we could maybe separate that, because I think optics wise. It doesn't look good, doesn't sound good.

308
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,200
there's no reason to ever

309
00:23:00,220 --> 00:23:07,360
to, there's no other reason to, for city to, a city to align with something that's discriminatory.

310
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,740
So that would be my two cents on that.

311
00:23:09,860 --> 00:23:10,500
Thank you.

312
00:23:12,260 --> 00:23:12,800
Councilor Kim.

313
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:13,380
No.

314
00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:14,560
Councilor Schiller.

315
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:16,680
Thank you, Chair.

316
00:23:17,380 --> 00:23:18,940
Thank you for bringing this forward.

317
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:25,280
And I just wanted to ask a little bit about the public sprawl in this.

318
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:31,980
I just think that having an opportunity to suggest or vote on naming things in a city

319
00:23:31,980 --> 00:23:34,580
as a good opportunity for people to connect.

320
00:23:35,780 --> 00:23:38,980
Do we have that included in our policy at all?

321
00:23:40,850 --> 00:23:45,690
Through the chair, I believe it does talk about engagement somewhere in just trying to

322
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:53,270
scan a young process, so number two in the policy, it talks about role of city staff is to really

323
00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:55,170
to vet names, to come up with proposals,

324
00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:57,270
do engage with affected parties,

325
00:23:57,490 --> 00:23:59,450
which could include the public as needed.

326
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:02,910
It really depends on the park name

327
00:24:02,910 --> 00:24:05,670
and what kind of a history of the development has been.

328
00:24:05,850 --> 00:24:08,730
And if there's been a maybe large public component

329
00:24:08,730 --> 00:24:11,790
or naming suggestions or something as part of that,

330
00:24:12,010 --> 00:24:13,630
that definitely could be incorporated.

331
00:24:14,410 --> 00:24:16,750
But sometimes we go a different direction

332
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:20,650
and maybe public engagement or discussion on the name

333
00:24:20,650 --> 00:24:26,830
is not as appropriate if there is a more such as if there is a donor for the park or

334
00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:32,810
the parks, historical significance is recognizing a certain family or that something that

335
00:24:32,810 --> 00:24:38,210
happened on that land or something, so that's why it's been crafted the way it has, so that

336
00:24:38,210 --> 00:24:43,650
there's definitely the ability to engage with the public where we need to, but also the different

337
00:24:44,370 --> 00:24:48,970
directions if we're taking the name and the theme or the recognition of the park in a different

338
00:24:49,630 --> 00:24:51,030
And I think that makes sense.

339
00:24:51,090 --> 00:24:52,210
I think that's a good approach.

340
00:24:52,870 --> 00:24:57,050
I just remember even an example of the city of mission

341
00:24:57,050 --> 00:25:00,350
like asking for names for one of their pieces of equipment.

342
00:25:00,530 --> 00:25:03,670
And it just generated a lot of public engagement.

343
00:25:04,250 --> 00:25:06,430
So I agree with you that there are certain situations

344
00:25:06,430 --> 00:25:08,050
where it makes sense and other situations

345
00:25:09,410 --> 00:25:11,370
where it'd be best to use a different approach.

346
00:25:11,530 --> 00:25:13,550
But I think it is the sort of thing that really can interest

347
00:25:13,550 --> 00:25:15,630
members of the public, especially that live nearby.

348
00:25:15,630 --> 00:25:19,750
And also, you know, the more minds that are, right?

349
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:22,230
Because there could be some really creative suggestions out there

350
00:25:22,230 --> 00:25:23,210
that we might otherwise miss.

351
00:25:23,470 --> 00:25:24,210
So, thank you.

352
00:25:24,850 --> 00:25:25,530
Thank you.

353
00:25:25,970 --> 00:25:27,510
Any other questions?

354
00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:32,290
Thought somewhat may or roomy raised on like,

355
00:25:32,290 --> 00:25:34,390
how do we deal with that piece?

356
00:25:36,820 --> 00:25:40,520
Do we just demand taking outward discriminatory or

357
00:25:42,570 --> 00:25:45,050
suggest that to you so that when it comes to council,

358
00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:48,090
I'm looking at nods around the table if people are

359
00:25:48,090 --> 00:25:50,950
What are your thoughts, counselor careers?

360
00:25:51,830 --> 00:25:57,950
I think that just something around discriminatory has to be in there that we don't do it, but it maybe it needs a separate line.

361
00:25:58,390 --> 00:25:59,670
I mean, we've looked at this a few times.

362
00:26:00,010 --> 00:26:03,870
Yeah, I take a meeting with us, and I didn't even see that.

363
00:26:04,090 --> 00:26:07,590
But yes, because the rest of the words commercial developer,

364
00:26:08,630 --> 00:26:13,190
current politicians should never be named while they're sitting politician,

365
00:26:14,290 --> 00:26:17,470
and are obviously very different than discriminatory.

366
00:26:17,690 --> 00:26:19,710
So if there's a way before it comes to us next week

367
00:26:19,710 --> 00:26:23,930
for final approval to maybe create a separate line for that

368
00:26:23,930 --> 00:26:26,450
or maybe it fits into a different procedure somewhere else

369
00:26:26,450 --> 00:26:28,250
in one of the other categories, but yeah.

370
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:30,570
Through the chair, I think it's an easy edit.

371
00:26:30,750 --> 00:26:33,030
We can probably separate that into separate section

372
00:26:33,030 --> 00:26:34,990
and just clarify the language a little bit.

373
00:26:35,070 --> 00:26:36,070
Thanks for raising that.

374
00:26:36,130 --> 00:26:36,750
Okay, thanks.

375
00:26:37,010 --> 00:26:38,670
I should have, yeah, that works.

376
00:26:38,990 --> 00:26:39,210
Okay.

377
00:26:40,110 --> 00:26:40,390
All right.

378
00:26:40,390 --> 00:26:44,270
So with that, no further questions. Sorry, I didn't look online.

379
00:26:44,410 --> 00:26:49,510
Councilor Josie, you're okay? Okay. So we'll open up the voting.

380
00:26:50,150 --> 00:26:50,150
Please.

381
00:26:59,780 --> 00:27:04,540
That's carried unanimously. Moving on to 7.2.

382
00:27:11,180 --> 00:27:19,500
7.2 is application 2023-004-RZ for a property located at 22481 Brown Avenue,

383
00:27:19,740 --> 00:27:24,420
and 12064 Fraser Street to reason the subject properties to allow the future

384
00:27:24,420 --> 00:27:31,020
development of a six-story mid-rise apartment with 52-strad at 12 units. Stafford attendance to present.

385
00:27:31,820 --> 00:27:36,280
Good morning. Good morning, chair, mayor, and council. Welcome back from summer.

386
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,640
This is Carolina Perrin, our plan of one who started with the city earlier this year.

387
00:27:44,140 --> 00:27:51,160
She has already made a presentation earlier. I think back in early July, but I forgot to introduce her.

388
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,500
So I'm introducing her now.

389
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,140
She joins us from the city of Abbotsford,

390
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,960
as well as a few of the planners we kind of coach there.

391
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:04,480
So, excuse me, without much ado, here's Carolina.

392
00:28:04,980 --> 00:28:05,100
Thank you.

393
00:28:05,120 --> 00:28:05,220
Thank you.

394
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:06,680
Good morning, welcome.

395
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,640
Keep in mind, thank you for the introduction, David.

396
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,480
I think that's a tricky microphone.

397
00:28:17,180 --> 00:28:17,780
Is this good?

398
00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:18,240
OK.

399
00:28:18,540 --> 00:28:18,680
Yep.

400
00:28:19,580 --> 00:28:19,880
OK.

401
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:30,100
So, yes, my name is Carolina with the Planning Department and I've been here for just over six months.

402
00:28:30,660 --> 00:28:47,500
So, I am presenting item 7.2 for the rezoning application 2023-004-RZ located on 222481 Brown Avenue and 1264 Fraser Street.

403
00:28:49,010 --> 00:28:55,030
So, the purpose of the application is to recommend that Council Abandoned Zonemending

404
00:28:55,030 --> 00:29:04,810
by-law, number 70904-20203, and that Zonemending by-law, number 8131-2026,

405
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:10,610
be read a first second and third time to be able to resound the subject properties

406
00:29:10,610 --> 00:29:13,330
from RS1 to RM3.

407
00:29:14,610 --> 00:29:23,010
The properties are located in the town center area plan on the corner of Brown Avenue and Fraser Street.

408
00:29:23,590 --> 00:29:30,930
To the south, there is a small commercial shopping center that contains retail such as Shopper's Drug Mart and Fresh Co.

409
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:38,330
And the properties are surrounded by mid-rise apartments to the west, north and east.

410
00:29:39,130 --> 00:29:42,990
And the properties located within a transit oriented area.

411
00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:55,370
Active applications in the area include 2023-011-RZ, which is a rezoning from RS1 to RM2,

412
00:29:55,370 --> 00:29:59,970
proposing department with 129 units, and also Apple...

413
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:13,320
Vol notifications – 23-183-RZ, which is a rezoning application to reason the properties from RS1 to RM3, also

414
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,300
proposing a six-story apartment with 130 units.

415
00:30:19,130 --> 00:30:24,790
So the proposal to construct is to construct a six-story mid-rise apartment with 52 market

416
00:30:24,790 --> 00:30:31,430
graded welling units and one level of underground parking with 40 residential parking spaces.

417
00:30:32,170 --> 00:30:39,550
It received first reading on March 7, 2023 and staff recommend that this VILA be abandoned

418
00:30:39,550 --> 00:30:47,530
and replaced with sonamenting VILA number 8131-2026 to align with the provincial housing legislation

419
00:30:47,530 --> 00:30:53,230
that prohibits public hearings for rezoning VILA that are consistent with the official community plan.

420
00:30:53,230 --> 00:31:01,890
The proposal supports the Town Center area plan by providing additional housing within walking

421
00:31:01,890 --> 00:31:08,930
distance of shopping and services while reflecting the emerging and established mid-rise

422
00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:11,370
apartment character of the surrounding areas.

423
00:31:12,530 --> 00:31:18,790
As the proposed RM3 zone is consistent with the site's Town Center flexible mixed use

424
00:31:18,790 --> 00:31:26,170
CP designation. Staff recommends zone amending by-law number 8131-3026, be given first

425
00:31:26,170 --> 00:31:27,890
second and third readings.

426
00:31:30,140 --> 00:31:33,340
The application is further supported by a variance permit

427
00:31:33,340 --> 00:31:38,540
and town center multifamily development permit application that will be added to

428
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:44,020
a future council meeting. Proposed variances include minimum principal structure,

429
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:50,020
setback variance, underground accessory, off-street parking setbacks, short-term

430
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:52,740
bicycle parking, long-term bicycle parking,

431
00:31:53,380 --> 00:31:57,400
width of driving aisle, and law-line setback

432
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,560
to an accessory structure.

433
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,780
Further detail can be found in the council report.

434
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,900
So staff recommend that zoning is on amending by law number

435
00:32:06,900 --> 00:32:11,320
7904-2023B abandoned and that zoning

436
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:15,960
amending by law number 8131-2026 be given first, second,

437
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,980
and third readings.

438
00:32:18,380 --> 00:32:18,440
Great.

439
00:32:18,740 --> 00:32:19,600
Thank you very much.

440
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,260
Could I have somebody move this forward to the next council meeting, please?

441
00:32:24,180 --> 00:32:26,840
Move by Councillor Crayer, seconded by Mayor Roomy.

442
00:32:28,260 --> 00:32:29,540
Is there any questions?

443
00:32:30,260 --> 00:32:31,700
Councillor Cam.

444
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:33,300
Thank you, Chair.

445
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,700
Hello, Ms. Perrin. It's good to meet you, officially.

446
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,860
Can you talk to me about the unit mix proposed in this department?

447
00:32:40,460 --> 00:32:44,240
Development and how it aligns or doesn't align with volume, inclusive housing.

448
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,140
Unit mix policy?

449
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:48,080
Yes. Thank you.

450
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:56,140
the chair through the chair, I should say. It is mentioned in the Council report, but the proposed

451
00:32:56,140 --> 00:33:06,360
unit type ranges from 18 bachelor units, 16 one bedroom units, 18 two bedroom units, and of the

452
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:14,560
18 two bedroom units, six are designed to be converted into three bedroom suites. As for the housing policy,

453
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:25,080
I also did touch on that in the report and so it was approved by Council, the inclusive housing

454
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:36,060
unit mixed policy number 6.37 was approved by Council did this past May, May 12, 2026 and

455
00:33:36,060 --> 00:33:42,300
the policy applies to new proposed multi-unit residential and mixed use developments with more

456
00:33:42,300 --> 00:33:49,280
than 20 units in the town center area plan, but as the subject rezoning by-law was received

457
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:55,920
prior to December 31st, 2026, the rezoning and development permit applications are exempt

458
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,360
from the requirements of this policy as per class 15.

459
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:01,620
Thank you.

460
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:01,800
Thank you.

461
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:09,700
You just say that for me again, what was, what was, you said timelines, which the policy was,

462
00:34:10,460 --> 00:34:13,820
The policy came in, we approved a policy in May of this year.

463
00:34:14,860 --> 00:34:17,780
And I understand that this is, this is on manning by law,

464
00:34:17,860 --> 00:34:19,960
is to be given for a second and third reading.

465
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,660
Possibly at the next council meeting.

466
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,800
So can you remind me what is yours suggesting is,

467
00:34:27,180 --> 00:34:29,080
has been improved prior to the meeting?

468
00:34:30,460 --> 00:34:32,180
To, to the, through the chair.

469
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:46,940
As this has already received first reading in May of 2023, this is kind of just a reintroduction.

470
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:58,100
Just so that we can get received first second and third to omit public hearing, which it would under the previous zone amending by law.

471
00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:04,380
So, I'm not sure I understand because I see here that we are being asked to consider giving it

472
00:35:04,380 --> 00:35:09,280
for a second and third reading. This is the committee of the whole meeting, and we are asked to

473
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:14,360
consider it for a second and third reading next week. So, I'm not sure you mentioned that first

474
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:21,980
reading has already been passed. I'm not sure. Yes. Yeah, through the chair. So, this current

475
00:35:21,980 --> 00:35:36,040
application 2023-23-004-RZ is currently sitting at first greeting. It did receive first

476
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:45,860
greeting in 2023 and we're proposing to abandon that Zona-Mending bylaw and introduce a new one for

477
00:35:45,860 --> 00:35:49,760
1st, 2nd and 3rd, add to omit a public hearing.

478
00:35:50,740 --> 00:35:51,360
Thank you, I see.

479
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,540
So this was given for us reading.

480
00:35:55,260 --> 00:35:55,740
2023.

481
00:35:55,860 --> 00:35:56,640
Thank you for the reminder.

482
00:35:57,220 --> 00:35:59,160
We are proposing to abandon it, however.

483
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,540
And we are proposing the adoption of 1st, 2nd and 3rd reading.

484
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,220
Which would then be after we made 20268.

485
00:36:05,420 --> 00:36:06,560
So if you, I'm not clear.

486
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,600
I understand how then this is not required to remind me of all.

487
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:11,660
Inclusive housing units.

488
00:36:11,820 --> 00:36:12,900
That makes policy sure.

489
00:36:12,900 --> 00:36:18,120
I would love to recommend a assistance from my-

490
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,960
I look at the smiles behind you.

491
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:21,660
It's a question.

492
00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:22,640
Thank you.

493
00:36:23,940 --> 00:36:26,020
That's a great question, Councilor Tan.

494
00:36:28,180 --> 00:36:30,060
The file, because it was made,

495
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:31,840
the application was made in 2023.

496
00:36:32,140 --> 00:36:34,160
There's an in-stream protection that's,

497
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,560
I'd like to write a subscription,

498
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,220
baked into the, to the by-law.

499
00:36:39,220 --> 00:36:46,700
So that even though we are banning the first previous first reading for new first reading,

500
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,740
because it is an extreme application,

501
00:36:50,780 --> 00:36:57,660
the new by-law does not apply the housing requirements by-law.

502
00:36:58,020 --> 00:36:58,560
Thank you.

503
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,780
I'm not sure I understand you can just help me understand the technical definition,

504
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,620
because we are abandoning the 223 by-law.

505
00:37:04,620 --> 00:37:10,720
and we're being us adopted maybe let me help from a political perspective. So staff from what

506
00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:18,400
I'm reading are proposing this if we stuck with the first reading of March 2023 we will go through

507
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:23,360
second reading public hearing third and fourth. Staff are saying to streamline the process for the

508
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:29,160
applicant abandon that first reading give them first second and third to avoid that extra step.

509
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,820
And then we can give it final. This fair, that's one way of doing it.

510
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:42,780
So it already is in stream, which means the new housing policy doesn't apply to this because it's already in stream.

511
00:37:43,660 --> 00:37:46,300
Thank you, Chair. I appreciate that it's one interpretation of it.

512
00:37:47,340 --> 00:37:54,580
And so have we, I understand that the, that the unit makes doesn't align with our housing unit makes policy. Has there been a conversation?

513
00:37:54,580 --> 00:37:58,320
the applicant to build our new housing unit mixed policy.

514
00:38:00,610 --> 00:38:09,070
Through the chair, there hasn't been exactly a conversation with the applicant just

515
00:38:09,070 --> 00:38:16,990
because again, they do have mainstream protection and they don't this policy doesn't apply

516
00:38:16,990 --> 00:38:17,950
to them at this point.

517
00:38:18,070 --> 00:38:20,170
So we're continuing with the application that's presented.

518
00:38:20,850 --> 00:38:21,310
Thank you.

519
00:38:21,310 --> 00:38:24,750
And I'm just going to make sure, and just for a to make sure for clarity versus I'm going to

520
00:38:24,750 --> 00:38:32,010
understand that there is a that there is the technical instrument definition may or may not

521
00:38:32,010 --> 00:38:36,250
apply in this case because we are being asked to abandon first reading.

522
00:38:36,550 --> 00:38:37,170
I'm sorry.

523
00:38:37,670 --> 00:38:39,450
Maybe I could jump and thank you chair.

524
00:38:40,370 --> 00:38:41,990
The application is still in process.

525
00:38:42,090 --> 00:38:46,650
It is an application regardless if the bylaws being abandoned or in a new bylaw being introduced.

526
00:38:46,650 --> 00:38:50,730
So the application is still in stream and has been since 2023.

527
00:38:52,850 --> 00:38:56,890
Just another point I wanted to make is the policy does say applications receive

528
00:38:56,890 --> 00:39:02,790
before December of this year, 26, and this parent pointed that out in our presentation.

529
00:39:03,790 --> 00:39:10,790
So it was given a bit of an extension when Council approved the new policy back in May

530
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:17,030
any applications to allow developers to transition if they have been working on pre-applications

531
00:39:17,030 --> 00:39:22,030
and things like that. So even if this was a new application today, it would still qualify

532
00:39:22,030 --> 00:39:27,950
because it's in before December. But the point I made is the more salient point. This is still

533
00:39:27,950 --> 00:39:31,990
an application in stream. The bylaws just an implementation mechanism.

534
00:39:33,050 --> 00:39:37,370
Okay, I appreciate that. I appreciate the clarification about the grace when no being given

535
00:39:37,370 --> 00:39:41,030
to end of this year as well. Can you remind me then just from my understanding, when we talk

536
00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:46,990
about in-stream application protections, when we talk about applications, I had in my mind

537
00:39:46,990 --> 00:39:50,510
understanding that was we were talking about a by-law, but you're telling me it's actually about

538
00:39:50,510 --> 00:39:54,290
a paperwork as you'll see it with the file. We're not with the specific by-law?

539
00:39:54,910 --> 00:39:59,890
Through the chair, that's generally correct. In-stream protections mean different things for different

540
00:39:59,890 --> 00:40:06,730
by-laws, and they can be nuanced. But generally, if in applications is in-process, council may not

541
00:40:06,730 --> 00:40:09,310
I've seen a by-law at all for any considerations,

542
00:40:09,590 --> 00:40:11,010
even though it is in-process,

543
00:40:11,670 --> 00:40:15,650
sometimes these things take time before by-laws come forward.

544
00:40:16,530 --> 00:40:18,690
So if an application has been submitted,

545
00:40:18,690 --> 00:40:21,530
it is complete and all the information is there,

546
00:40:21,790 --> 00:40:25,230
and it is in-processed, generally that is considered in-stream.

547
00:40:26,330 --> 00:40:30,170
And in this case, this would certainly qualify for that.

548
00:40:30,610 --> 00:40:35,730
And just another reminder for council, even though it's fairly,

549
00:40:35,730 --> 00:40:44,110
understood the policy is Council's discretion. It is not regulatory so the policies are meant to be guides

550
00:40:44,110 --> 00:40:51,170
and discussions that staff have with applicants are always about trying to advance Council's objectives and meet the policies

551
00:40:51,170 --> 00:41:05,350
and the unit mix reflects an approach that gets this closer to that policy because of the mix of units and two

552
00:41:05,350 --> 00:41:06,870
and whatever these things come forward.

553
00:41:07,310 --> 00:41:08,730
Thank you. I appreciate that explanation.

554
00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:10,990
I just have one final question on this file.

555
00:41:11,790 --> 00:41:15,510
I just saw that there is a possibility, not a possibility that there is,

556
00:41:16,510 --> 00:41:20,990
there is, I'm just looking at a wording here that, six of the two bedroom units are

557
00:41:20,990 --> 00:41:23,530
designed to be converted into three bedroom sweets, crutches.

558
00:41:24,350 --> 00:41:26,930
I'm not familiar with that type of unit. How does that work?

559
00:41:27,530 --> 00:41:32,250
Yes, through the chair. So there is an opportunity,

560
00:41:33,430 --> 00:41:43,650
There's a space within the layout of the two bedroom units that's kind of open between the living room and the dining room right now.

561
00:41:44,570 --> 00:41:55,350
And it's designed to be enclosed by two walls to create a third bedroom in the future if necessary if required.

562
00:41:55,890 --> 00:41:57,750
So it's also a dry wall or something like that.

563
00:41:57,750 --> 00:41:58,270
That's correct.

564
00:41:58,530 --> 00:41:58,630
Cool.

565
00:41:59,130 --> 00:41:59,430
Thank you.

566
00:41:59,430 --> 00:42:02,570
Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions?

567
00:42:03,070 --> 00:42:03,770
Councillor Schiller.

568
00:42:06,270 --> 00:42:07,750
Thank you for the presentation.

569
00:42:08,730 --> 00:42:13,450
I think certainly the proposal fits in, you know, as a development that's happening in the area.

570
00:42:13,590 --> 00:42:16,910
But I did just want to ask about a couple of the variances.

571
00:42:17,650 --> 00:42:21,350
I'm appreciating that the variance permit will come through separately,

572
00:42:21,610 --> 00:42:26,310
since this is sort of our one opportunity to review the proposal as a whole.

573
00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:28,810
want it to ask at this point.

574
00:42:31,230 --> 00:42:35,010
One of the variances that's included in the report is a front

575
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:41,930
lotline setback for principal structures and it's not insignificant with a three meter variance.

576
00:42:42,450 --> 00:42:48,650
And the rationale is to provide all zoning requirements for the proposal and can you just

577
00:42:48,650 --> 00:42:54,890
explain to me a little bit more about why that variances being requested and supported?

578
00:42:57,670 --> 00:43:00,590
Yes, to through the chair,

579
00:43:03,030 --> 00:43:18,050
I don't quite have the rationale just in front of me, it's kind of escaping me, but before the next council meeting, I'm happy to elaborate on that a little bit more.

580
00:43:18,050 --> 00:43:25,830
Okay. Thank you for that. I also wanted to ask about the, in terms of the variances as well,

581
00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:32,630
the driving aisle. And so, you know, acknowledging the discussions about sort of the,

582
00:43:32,630 --> 00:43:38,230
the way that this specific proposal is unfolding in the timing of it with our current Austria parking

583
00:43:38,230 --> 00:43:43,770
by law. Our requirement for the drive aisle is a six point five meters. Is that correct?

584
00:43:43,770 --> 00:43:51,030
under the, through the chair, under the current, the new updated off streets zoning by a lot, that's correct.

585
00:43:51,410 --> 00:44:01,390
Thank you. And I see here in the rationale, it says that staff are of the opinion that a 6.3 meter driving out may be achievable.

586
00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:12,670
Now that does represent a small variance granted, but I just wonder, you know, we've, we've set the requirement for the drive aisle.

587
00:44:12,670 --> 00:44:17,370
And during the development of that by leather, there was a lot of talk about really holding

588
00:44:17,370 --> 00:44:22,450
that specific line firm because there had been quite a history of allowing variances

589
00:44:22,450 --> 00:44:23,610
around the driving aisle.

590
00:44:23,970 --> 00:44:28,050
And there was a lot of work done to determine that that was a good number that we wanted

591
00:44:28,050 --> 00:44:28,890
to hold to.

592
00:44:30,050 --> 00:44:37,430
Is there a drop dead minimum, if a 6.3 meter driving aisle is not achievable, if it's a 6.1

593
00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:44,170
driving aisle, have staff had discussions with a proponent about where that needs to land?

594
00:44:45,190 --> 00:44:46,450
Through the chair.

595
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:59,800
I believe I haven't been presented with, you know, the minimum, absolute minimum drive aisle.

596
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,820
That may be achievable.

597
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:13,200
However, if there was that opportunity made available to me, I would consider it based off of what their variance is proposing.

598
00:45:14,260 --> 00:45:29,020
However, based off of the new off-street parking by law requirement of 6.5 meters and through their submitted engineering drawings, it does appear that this is achievable.

599
00:45:29,020 --> 00:45:35,780
achievable, it has been reviewed by the engineering department, and so I rely on more professional

600
00:45:35,780 --> 00:45:44,340
experience or expertise than I have to support this variance, and I believe that if

601
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:53,560
engineering drawings and the engineering department can support that with, then it may be

602
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,840
feasible, and it just may continue.

603
00:45:57,220 --> 00:45:58,520
OK, I appreciate that.

604
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,380
I think it's just, you know, I find it's challenging

605
00:46:01,380 --> 00:46:04,320
because by the time the variance request comes later,

606
00:46:04,700 --> 00:46:07,200
it's sort of that the profit often feels that the process is

607
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:12,420
so advanced that to argue a point two of a meter

608
00:46:12,420 --> 00:46:13,480
seems kind of irrelevant.

609
00:46:13,720 --> 00:46:16,200
But at the same time, I think maintaining that standard

610
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:16,820
is important.

611
00:46:17,100 --> 00:46:19,840
So that's why I wanted to ask about that, the drive aisle.

612
00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:22,000
And as well, I will just say, in terms

613
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,380
of the bicycle parking, like I see that there really is a long term, like a strong

614
00:46:27,380 --> 00:46:33,940
line for the long term, bicycle parking, which is great to see. I always find it when we're

615
00:46:33,940 --> 00:46:38,880
sorting the short term bicycle parking, which to me just seems like an easy thing to add

616
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:45,200
a bicycle rack on another location. So that's just something I'd like to see when this comes back

617
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:55,500
us in the future. Thank you. Thank you. Councillor Greer. Thank you. Thanks, Councillor Town for raising

618
00:46:55,500 --> 00:47:03,100
some of the questions around the mixed use. I just did a quick check in on it. So if I'm reading

619
00:47:03,100 --> 00:47:09,200
this correctly, 40% should be two bedrooms or higher, which puts us at 20 and we're at 18. So it's

620
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:15,440
pretty darn close. Yeah. And then my understanding is 10% of those need to be three units

621
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:20,300
or larger, which would put it at five and six have the potential to be three bedrooms anyhow.

622
00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:25,900
So, it is pretty close to meeting the policy even without it having to require be acquired.

623
00:47:26,780 --> 00:47:32,720
Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Actually, that's a good point. So, thank you for doing that quickly.

624
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:47,580
Yeah, yeah. Any other questions? Councilor Dozi, you're good. Okay. So with that, thank you for the presentation and we'll open up the voting.

625
00:47:58,570 --> 00:48:04,530
And that is carried unanimously. Thank you. 7.3 corporate officer. Thank you.

626
00:48:10,860 --> 00:48:16,680
Item 7.3 is application 2026-027-RZ,

627
00:48:17,020 --> 00:48:19,880
rezoning to increase density permitted for a private hospital

628
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,360
at the subject property of 119-828 Street.

629
00:48:23,700 --> 00:48:25,240
Staff are in attendance to present.

630
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,540
Good morning, Mayor and Council.

631
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:31,860
This is application 2026-027-RZ

632
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,860
for a state specific zoning tax amendment

633
00:48:34,860 --> 00:48:38,540
at 119-828 Street, which is the existing

634
00:48:38,540 --> 00:48:40,860
Hannah House Treatment and Recovery Facility.

635
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:47,140
The property is designated institutional and so on to P2 and will remain unchanged.

636
00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:52,180
The requested amendment is a site specific and increases the permitted density for the

637
00:48:52,180 --> 00:48:57,800
private hospital use from 0.5 FSR to 0.69 FSR.

638
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:03,000
Staff recommend waving the public hearing as the proposal is consistent with the current

639
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:07,400
OZP designation and proceeding with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd readings.

640
00:49:09,260 --> 00:49:18,500
This slide shows the location of the subject property at the intersection of lady street and do need trunk road with access from lady street.

641
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:27,100
And this slide here shows, sorry, the property designation and zone within the low heat transit corridor area plan.

642
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:34,240
The proposal does support the continued delivery of institutional and community support services contemplated by the OCP.

643
00:49:36,540 --> 00:49:42,640
The applicant proposes to retain the existing Eastern building with 17 beds while the older

644
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,240
Western building would be replaced with a purpose-built facility containing 42 beds.

645
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:54,880
This would increase the total capacity from 37 to 59 residential beds, which is a net increase of 22 beds.

646
00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:02,340
The new building will also provide dedicated space for staff, counseling, group programming, wellness, and related support services.

647
00:50:02,340 --> 00:50:03,340
The

648
00:50:05,580 --> 00:50:10,200
site plan accommodates the replacement building will retain the existing Eastern building.

649
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:18,320
The redevelopment is intended to replace aging infrastructure with a more functional, accessible, and purpose-built recovery facility.

650
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:30,720
Staff parking is also provided along the south side of the site and the applicant proposes 14 spaces exceeding the 13 spaces required as per the city's off-street parking by law.

651
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,780
There are some proposed variances as well.

652
00:50:35,260 --> 00:50:39,480
There are two setback variances, which are requested along Lady Street and do need chunk

653
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:43,920
road to accommodate the new building and increase bed capacity due to the road dedication.

654
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:49,020
Staff are supportive of the reduced setbacks because they improve the street interface and

655
00:50:49,020 --> 00:50:51,940
will help achieve a more active, safe and appealing streetscape.

656
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:58,280
There is also currently a variance requested to allow seven small car spaces, which responds

657
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,580
to the site constraints will maintain the required number of parking spaces.

658
00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:09,680
Staff recommend that council wave the public hearing requirement as it is consistent with

659
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:14,920
the OCP and consider the by-law for 1st, 2nd and 3rd readings to zone amending by-law

660
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,600
number 8132-2026.

661
00:51:19,900 --> 00:51:20,080
Thank you.

662
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:20,880
Thank you.

663
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,320
Can I have somebody move this forward please, Councillor Schiller, 2nded by Councillor

664
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,680
Chris. Any questions?

665
00:51:32,860 --> 00:51:37,560
Not seeing any good job. Thank you. And open up the voting.

666
00:51:46,340 --> 00:51:46,960
Okay. That's

667
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,480
carried unanimously moving on to 7.4.

668
00:51:54,770 --> 00:52:00,650
Item 7.4 is 2026-082-vp, variance to support the

669
00:52:00,650 --> 00:52:08,150
construction of a proposed four-plex development at 11410207th Street. Stafford attendance to present.

670
00:52:09,650 --> 00:52:13,850
Good morning, once again, chair and members of Council in May.

671
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:25,240
I would just like to introduce, could you do a manure or one of our new staff in development planning?

672
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:29,980
She's a planning technician and she...

673
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:41,040
Welcome to us from the private sector. And prior to that, she was in various public sector positions in Pakistan, her country where she came from.

674
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:49,300
Awesome. Good morning, welcome. Good morning. Thank you for the introduction, David. Good morning, chair Mayor and council.

675
00:52:49,300 --> 00:52:54,420
As David mentioned, I am Khatija Manini planning technician with the planning and building department.

676
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:04,680
Today, I will be bringing forward 2026-082-VP at 114-1027 Street.

677
00:53:05,240 --> 00:53:16,000
This variance permit is associated with an already approved development permit under 2021-530-DP, approved by the Council on June 24, 2025.

678
00:53:17,140 --> 00:53:22,060
The applicant is proposing to construct a four-plex at the subject property, the existing

679
00:53:22,060 --> 00:53:27,620
zoning of the property is RS1, single-detached residential, which allows for the urban

680
00:53:27,620 --> 00:53:29,040
infill residential use.

681
00:53:29,580 --> 00:53:34,600
The use of the property has a land use designation of ground-oriented residential, no changes

682
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:39,200
are proposed, and the development is consistent with the Hammond area plan where the subject

683
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,680
properties look at it.

684
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,380
The subject properties outlined in red on the map on screen.

685
00:53:46,380 --> 00:53:52,240
It is located at the north eastern corner of 207 Street and 114 Avenue.

686
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:58,460
Sorry, in upper Hammond area neighborhood, the total site area is 928 square meters.

687
00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:03,240
And OCP and zoning map is shown on the screen.

688
00:54:03,420 --> 00:54:08,000
And as you can see, the neighborhood is desired to be mostly ground oriented residential

689
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,440
and include developments with support that.

690
00:54:11,620 --> 00:54:14,840
The Development Proposal is a four-plex building fronting

691
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,180
to 0-7 street, the development includes three bedroom units

692
00:54:18,180 --> 00:54:24,500
with cross floor areas ranging from 172 square meters to 179 square meters.

693
00:54:24,820 --> 00:54:27,360
Off-suit parking for the proposed development is accessed

694
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,440
from 114 avenue to the south and from the lane to the north.

695
00:54:32,620 --> 00:54:37,440
A form and character development permit associated with the proposed development

696
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:41,120
was approved by Council on June 24, 2025.

697
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:50,440
Upon further detailed reviews, staff determined that variances are required for principle structure, setback, and minimum landscape and permeable service area requirement.

698
00:54:51,900 --> 00:54:59,940
The site plan is shown on screen showing the four clicks layout, comprising of total four units, and how it interacts with the existing lane in the north,

699
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,400
to 07 street to the west and 114 avenue on the south.

700
00:55:05,240 --> 00:55:12,200
The renderings show the proposed design of the fourplex, the four units include main floor entrances

701
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,380
as well as the canary basement entrances on the west side.

702
00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:20,510
Following variances are proposed to the mapper red zoning by law.

703
00:55:21,130 --> 00:55:25,690
The first variance is to vary the minimum required principles fracture exterior sight

704
00:55:25,690 --> 00:55:29,450
lot line, western setback from three meters to two meters.

705
00:55:29,450 --> 00:55:36,090
staff support the following variants as the reduced setback is required to accommodate the

706
00:55:36,090 --> 00:55:40,370
sighting of proposed access stairs and the retaining walls on the west side of the property.

707
00:55:41,790 --> 00:55:46,210
The second proposed variants is to weary the minimum required landscape and permeable surface

708
00:55:46,210 --> 00:55:52,950
requirements from 40% to 36.1%. Staff support the proposed variants since the reduction

709
00:55:52,950 --> 00:55:57,730
has resulted from extending the driveway out to improve the vehicle training and required

710
00:55:57,730 --> 00:56:03,070
placement of an electrical closet within an area previously identified as landscape and

711
00:56:03,070 --> 00:56:03,930
printable.

712
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:09,280
The recommendation is outlined on the screen. Happy to answer any questions.

713
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,420
Thank you. Thank you very much for your presentation. It's moved by Mayor Rumi seconded by

714
00:56:14,420 --> 00:56:16,760
Councillor Sam. Any questions?

715
00:56:21,590 --> 00:56:24,930
No. Thank you. Okay. We'll open up for voting.

716
00:56:32,550 --> 00:56:34,190
Moving on to 7.5.

717
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:48,880
item 7.5 is the request for an amendment to the Fraser Valley to the Fraser sewage area for

718
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:56,060
1, 4, 5, 0, 0, 0, silver valley road. This is to support sewer servicing for the UBC's Malcolm

719
00:56:56,060 --> 00:57:02,320
Nat Research Forest Expansion Stafford Attendants to present. It's still morning. Good morning.

720
00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:08,940
Good morning. Good morning, Mayor and Council. My name is Aaron Mark. I am a planning

721
00:57:08,940 --> 00:57:12,940
technician in the Planning and Building Department, and I'm here today to present an

722
00:57:12,940 --> 00:57:17,720
updated request for Connection to Municipal Sanitary Service System for the UBC Malcolm

723
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:24,320
App Research Force, which is located at 1450 Silver Valley Road. The service connection is

724
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,740
requested to support a planned expansion of the facilities on the property.

725
00:57:30,210 --> 00:57:30,510
The Malcolm

726
00:57:30,510 --> 00:57:35,570
App Research Force is a large property of over 12,000 acres located up in the Silver Valley

727
00:57:35,570 --> 00:57:40,050
area. Property is owned by the University of British Columbia and supports a number of

728
00:57:40,050 --> 00:57:44,870
Forestry, Conservation, Conservation, Research, and Educational Activities.

729
00:57:45,270 --> 00:57:49,910
These activities include UBC's Forestry and Environmental Stewardship Field Schools over

730
00:57:49,910 --> 00:57:55,570
1,000 research projects, Environmental Education Programs, and the Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat

731
00:57:55,570 --> 00:57:56,050
Center.

732
00:57:56,730 --> 00:58:00,290
As shown on the map to the right, the property is located outside the Fraser sewer

733
00:58:00,290 --> 00:58:02,050
area, which is highlighted in pink.

734
00:58:02,730 --> 00:58:07,250
As a result, the site is not eligible to connect to sanitary services without approval from

735
00:58:07,250 --> 00:58:07,870
Metro Vancouver.

736
00:58:07,870 --> 00:58:08,850
The

737
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:15,740
proposed improvements are located along the southern portion of the property near the

738
00:58:15,740 --> 00:58:21,840
main entrance at the north end of Silver Valley Road. These expansion plans include a new

739
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:27,600
12,000 square foot facility that will provide space for education, research and public outreach

740
00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:33,100
foot activities. Workshop building and outdoor labs that include both indoor and outdoor classrooms

741
00:58:33,100 --> 00:58:39,460
as well as workshop and the relocation of an existing caretaker building. Because the properties

742
00:58:39,460 --> 00:58:44,460
located outside of both the regional urban containment boundary and the Fraser Surajaria,

743
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,960
a provost required from both the Metro Vancouver Board and the Greater Vancouver Suraj

744
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:54,120
and Drainage District Board. To obtain these approvals in amendment application requesting

745
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:58,080
an amendment to the Surajaria boundary must be submitted by Council Resolution.

746
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,600
The amendment application is specific to the proposed building footprints.

747
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:17,800
Council previously considered a sewage area amendment application in July of 2023 to support the planned expansion that application was successful and was approved by Metro Vancouver in 2024.

748
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:25,960
Since receiving that approval, construction has not begun and UBC has revised the site layout and the proposed building footprints.

749
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:33,280
And as a result, a new amendment application reflecting the updated design along with a new Council resolution is required.

750
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:43,180
The amendment is being sought under an exception clause within Metro 20, 2050, as the project is considered as being consistent with the regional growth strategy.

751
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:55,460
The proposed expansion will provide additional space for forestry and environmental research, education and public outreach activities, while continuing to protect the ecological integrity and biodiversity of the forest.

752
00:59:55,460 --> 00:59:59,860
The proposed surgery amendment only applies to the building shown in the application.

753
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,920
And would not authorize sanitary connections for any future buildings.

754
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:17,320
We're talking about sanitary connections, but I wanted to provide a rendering of the building of the new Forestry Learning Center that is proposed. As you can see, it is featuring a mass-temper wood engineering design.

755
01:00:19,470 --> 01:00:26,190
The changes between the previously approved application, the current application, or I listed it on the plan shown on the screen.

756
01:00:26,750 --> 01:00:31,090
The building footprint is approved under the previous amendment and application or shown in green,

757
01:00:31,390 --> 01:00:33,850
while the revised building footprint is shown in yellow.

758
01:00:34,810 --> 01:00:40,530
The updated site layout includes a realignment of the internal road network to better separate vehicle and pedestrian traffic.

759
01:00:41,150 --> 01:00:48,370
The revisions also help retain additional trees and make greater use of areas that have already been cleared, reducing impacts on the surrounding forest environment.

760
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:55,340
staff recommend that an updated sewerage area and amendment application in support of the

761
01:00:55,340 --> 01:00:59,200
Malcolm Nap Research Force expansion project be submitted to the Greater Vancouver

762
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,680
Surge and drainage district for consideration.

763
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,020
Thank you very much.

764
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:05,440
Could have someone blew it forward.

765
01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:09,000
May a roomy seconded by Councillor Cress.

766
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:10,900
Any questions?

767
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,200
No questions.

768
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:18,600
We'll open up the voting.

769
01:01:26,260 --> 01:01:27,400
That's carried unanimously.

770
01:01:28,220 --> 01:01:29,440
Thank you very much.

771
01:01:32,030 --> 01:01:33,730
7.6.

772
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:42,840
The last item on today's agenda is item 7.6, the new medium and high density zones for key growth areas.

773
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:47,740
Zone amending byla 8126, 2026, staff are in attendance to present.

774
01:01:51,700 --> 01:01:52,600
OK, who's presenting?

775
01:02:03,830 --> 01:02:10,070
Chair, apologies. Our staff number has yet to arrive. I'll look into that. My apologies.

776
01:02:10,630 --> 01:02:10,970
OK,

777
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,900
do we want to just reset for five minutes?

778
01:02:15,900 --> 01:02:18,080
Okay, recess for five minutes. Okay,

779
01:02:23,850 --> 01:02:27,030
recess for five minutes until the staff person arrives.

780
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,000
Okay, we're

781
01:05:20,150 --> 01:05:24,910
back. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Hello, we are Council.

782
01:05:27,910 --> 01:05:34,090
And this afternoon, I will be presenting on the updates to the Proposed Onemending Violent number,

783
01:05:35,850 --> 01:05:47,390
8126 and dash 2026 which introduces for new zones to the zoning baller to support medium and high density development in key growth areas.

784
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:07,880
At the July 21st committee of the whole meeting, staff provided an overview of the four proposed medium and high density zones.

785
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:15,220
On July 28, Council granted 1st and 2nd readings to the by-law and waved the public hearing

786
01:06:15,220 --> 01:06:16,020
requirement.

787
01:06:19,140 --> 01:06:25,840
The 4 proposed zones aligned with the provincial housing legislation for transit oriented

788
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:34,120
areas and the policies of the official community plan, including the town center area plan,

789
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,720
Hammond area plan and low-heat transit corridor earlier.

790
01:06:38,220 --> 01:06:42,140
The proposed zones will support the creation of vibrant,

791
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,960
wipe and walkable and complete communities.

792
01:06:53,260 --> 01:06:56,120
The four proposed zones are summarized and decisive slide.

793
01:06:57,060 --> 01:07:00,200
Two zones are intended for medium density development,

794
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:06,680
including RM8, which primarily supports residential apartment buildings,

795
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:14,860
With optional neighborhood commercial uses and C8, a mixed-use zone where commercial uses are required.

796
01:07:16,860 --> 01:07:29,640
The other two zones are intended for high-density development, including RM9, which primarily supports residential apartment buildings with optional neighborhood commercial uses.

797
01:07:30,460 --> 01:07:35,240
And C9, it makes you zone, where commercial uses are required.

798
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:43,020
Additional details and key distinctions between the zones are summarized in attachment A of the report.

799
01:07:49,930 --> 01:07:55,590
In response to questions raised by council, at the July 21st committee of the whole meeting,

800
01:07:56,610 --> 01:08:04,210
regarding commercial uses within the proposed armate and arm nine zones, a staff prepared the map shown on the screen.

801
01:08:05,710 --> 01:08:21,490
This map identifies where limited neighborhood commercial uses may be permitted, where a broader range of commercial uses may be available and where commercial uses would be required and the proposed zoning framework.

802
01:08:22,930 --> 01:08:29,630
Areas shown in hatch blue are locations where only limited neighborhood commercial uses may be permitted.

803
01:08:30,310 --> 01:08:34,050
These properties are designated town center apartments.

804
01:08:36,590 --> 01:08:39,930
I'll try to show these hatch blue here.

805
01:08:40,930 --> 01:08:46,130
Some areas here and also within LT cap.

806
01:08:47,590 --> 01:08:52,850
Areas in hatch blue are locations where only limited neighborhood commercial uses may be permitted.

807
01:08:52,850 --> 01:08:59,150
These properties are designated town center apartments or low-head apartments, front

808
01:08:59,150 --> 01:09:03,910
onto an arterial or collector road, and would only be eligible to

809
01:09:03,910 --> 01:09:06,730
reason to the Aramate Residential Zone.

810
01:09:07,630 --> 01:09:13,830
Area shown in hatch green, which would be, try to,

811
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,340
okay, in hatch green, which are located

812
01:09:29,340 --> 01:09:35,280
In the town center area, our locations where commercial uses would be optional.

813
01:09:35,500 --> 01:09:41,400
These properties would generally be eligible to reason to either a residential zone or a mix-use zone.

814
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:48,900
Where a mix-use zone is pursued, commercial space would be required and a broader range of commercial uses would be permitted.

815
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:56,620
Where a residential zone is pursued, commercial space would remain optional and limited to neighborhood serving uses.

816
01:09:56,620 --> 01:10:00,480
These areas generally include properties,

817
01:10:02,580 --> 01:10:06,460
designated town center, core or flexible mixules

818
01:10:06,460 --> 01:10:10,400
that are located outside the schedule of the zoning by law.

819
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:18,500
And finally, areas showing in hot, in solid green, our locations where commercial uses

820
01:10:18,500 --> 01:10:19,520
would be required.

821
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:26,460
These properties would only be eligible to resort to the proposed mix-use zones, C8 or F9.

822
01:10:26,980 --> 01:10:33,500
These areas generally include properties designated for mix-use, under the LT cap, or Hammond

823
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:39,280
earlier area plan, as well as properties located within a schedule E of the zoning by law.

824
01:10:43,060 --> 01:10:51,060
Since first and second readings staff have made several minor refinements to improve clarity and implementation of the proposed zones.

825
01:10:51,060 --> 01:10:58,840
These include clarifying tower-built form requirements of the 18-dooramate and Rm9 zone titles,

826
01:10:59,340 --> 01:11:07,680
revising the Rm8 purpose statement, relocating limited non-residential uses to the principle uses section,

827
01:11:08,440 --> 01:11:17,580
clarifying where limited non-residential uses may be permitted and requiring concealed residential parking in Rm9 zones.

828
01:11:18,990 --> 01:11:25,910
Additionally, refinements include limiting non-residential uses in our mates zone to the

829
01:11:25,910 --> 01:11:32,710
grand floor and to a maximum of 30% of the lot area, revising the commercial area requirements

830
01:11:32,710 --> 01:11:39,090
for the CAE and C9 zones and making minor formatting and language updates throughout the

831
01:11:39,090 --> 01:11:46,190
pile-out. A blackline version of the pile-out showing these refinements is attached to the report.

832
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:53,040
The next steps are shown on this slide.

833
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:54,860
If Council grants first reading,

834
01:11:55,180 --> 01:11:57,780
the BILA will be referred to the Ministry of Transportation

835
01:11:57,780 --> 01:12:00,440
and Transit for Final Approval.

836
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,340
Following Ministry of Approval,

837
01:12:02,540 --> 01:12:06,180
the BILA will return to Council for consideration of Final Adoption.

838
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,160
At that time, a staff will also bring forward minor updates

839
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,440
to the inclusive housing policy to support implementation of the BILA.

840
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:16,540
Once the BILA is adopted,

841
01:12:16,840 --> 01:12:19,180
the new zones will become available for use

842
01:12:19,180 --> 01:12:21,380
throughout future development applications.

843
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,540
The four proposals implement the requirements

844
01:12:29,540 --> 01:12:32,800
of the provincial transit-oriented areas legislation

845
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,480
while advancing the objectives of the official community

846
01:12:36,480 --> 01:12:39,760
plan and applicable area plans based on the work

847
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,380
completed to date and the refinements presented today.

848
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:48,640
A staff recommend that's on a meeting by law number 8126-20206

849
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,360
as amended be given third reading.

850
01:12:51,980 --> 01:12:55,320
Thank you on the staff or happy to answer any questions.

851
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:56,180
Great.

852
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:57,160
Thank you so much.

853
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,120
Can I have somebody move this forward please?

854
01:12:59,500 --> 01:13:00,560
Move by Councillor Tan.

855
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:02,760
Seconded by Mayor Rumi.

856
01:13:03,780 --> 01:13:04,580
Any questions?

857
01:13:05,900 --> 01:13:06,700
Councillor Tan.

858
01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:08,260
Thank you chair.

859
01:13:08,420 --> 01:13:10,340
Ms. Lothfield just wanted to take a moment to thank you.

860
01:13:10,420 --> 01:13:12,180
And you colleagues who put together that.

861
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:14,000
Matt, we're all the, we're at a commercial.

862
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:16,740
Students are all the different commercial zones.

863
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:17,820
And I just found that helpful.

864
01:13:17,960 --> 01:13:19,220
So I just wanted to express my gratitude.

865
01:13:22,220 --> 01:13:23,420
Thank you.

866
01:13:23,420 --> 01:13:24,980
Any other questions?

867
01:13:28,830 --> 01:13:29,590
Not seeing any.

868
01:13:29,790 --> 01:13:30,630
Thank you very much.

869
01:13:30,890 --> 01:13:33,670
We'll open it up for building through forward to the next council.

870
01:13:42,350 --> 01:13:43,410
That's carried unanimously.

871
01:13:45,490 --> 01:13:47,870
And we do not have any other business.

872
01:13:48,810 --> 01:13:50,650
So we're adjourned at 1214.

873
01:13:51,530 --> 01:13:52,330
Thank you very much.
