Dobrovolny, Commissioner/Chief Administrative Officer, Metro Vancouver Heather McNell, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer, Policy and Planning, Metro Vancouver Jonathan Cote, Deputy General Manager, Regional Planning & Housing Development, Metro Vancouver Encl: Proposed Land Use Designation Amendment to Metro 2050, Township of Langley – Gloucester Industrial Park 59796269 Attachment 1 More Information Regarding the City’s Requests 1) Bring forward legislation implementing the 2030 GHG cap on the gas sector without further delay as committed to in the Province’s CleanBC plan and recently reaffirmed by the Premier on March 14, 2023 with the launch of a new energy action framework; 2) Launch an independent gas utility planning exercise that plots a course for addressing an expected decline in throughput of gas grids and the transition of gas grids towards transporting RNG and hydrogen to sectors and/or locations that are hard to decarbonize, consistent with the Province’s 2030, 2040 and 2050 GHG emission reduction targets, all leading to the increased role of electrification in building heating and transport. 3) Reject the use of RNG and hydrogen in new construction to meet GHG limits in the Step Code, so that the limited and costly supply of these alternative fuels can be put to highest and best uses. RNG volumes are very limited and RNG may be the only option for decarbonizing heavy industry and some portions of the transportation sector. There are affordable low-carbon alternatives for heating new buildings. Heating new buildings is not the highest and best use of limited RNG resources. In addition, prioritizing electric heat pumps, including district energy heat pump applications, over generating hydrogen gas from electricity is a more efficient use of BC’s electricity resources. The Climate Solutions Council identifies these issues as Opportunity #7: Electrifying our Economy and Communities in their 2022 Annual Report. 4) Develop policies to assess, certify and track the GHG intensity of RNG, hydrogen and other alternative gases B.C. needs a robust and credible system for assessing the GHG intensity of renewable gases and ensuring these fuels do not contribute further to GHG emissions. Key issues include avoiding double-counting GHG credits and minimizing fugitive methane emissions. 5) Reform the BCUC in the context of a changing climate to consider to: consider and minimize lock-in and stranded investment risks when evaluating capital plans, rate setting and extension policies for gas utilities including: ensuring extension policies of gas utilities take into account reduced consumption and stringent GHG limits for new construction; using different depreciation rates and allowable returns on equity for new investments commensurate with the uncertainty over useful life and stranding risk; ensuring non-pipe alternatives are adequately considered as alternatives to maintaining and/or upgrading gas infrastructure, including local decommissioning of gas infrastructure in favour of electrification or district energy; and considering provincial policy and credible independent studies into the future role of hydrogen when considering hydrogen or hydrogen-ready infrastructure proceedings should be guided by a framework or set of guidelines that do not impact or limit the jurisdiction and authority of local governments without provincial direction. Attachment 1 The Climate Solutions Council identifies these issues as Opportunity #7: Electrifying our Economy and Communities in their 2022 Annual Report, asking the Province to identify an appropriate role for the BCUC in supporting BC’s clean energy transition. 6) Bring forward legislation and other regulatory changes specific to the heat transition similar to recent initiatives implemented or proposed in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, France and New York State, among others, which would among other things: recognize the unique role for district energy systems in the energy transition; establish a distinct BCUC regulatory framework for public district energy systems that is more aligned with their small scale and localized nature; provide incentives and resources to support the development of local heat plans to coordinate and optimize incremental investments in gas, electric and district energy infrastructure, as well as spatially targeted retrofit and fuel switching programs and incentives. provide incentives and fairer tax treatment for low-carbon district energy systems, including addressing the unequal burden from property taxes and PST on these systems 7) Require that a minimum percentage of low-carbon methane-based fuels (i.e. up to 100%) be produced within BC. Currently there is no requirement that low-carbon gases be produced and procured within B.C. and as a result, FortisBC has sought out low-cost supply in other provinces and in the US. This may help reduce renewable gas prices but it also limits the ability of B.C. workers to benefit from investments in new low-carbon gas production. Procuring out-of-Province gases is a risk because since they are limited resources and it is anticipated that net-zero state- or federal-level commitments in other jurisdictions are likely to affect long-term supply and prices for consumers in B.C. Mandating that a minimum share of gas utilities’ low-carbon gases be produced within B.C. would also drive employment opportunities in B.C. and manage the impacts of the energy transition on B.C.’s workforce. The Climate Solutions Council identifies these issues as Opportunity #8: Minimizing Reliance on Offsets in their 2022 Annual Report.

The purpose of this application is to allow the change of use of the existing building from a place of worship (church) to a single-family dwelling. Given that no further development of the site beyond the change of use of the existing building is requested through this application, no requirement is applicable prior to final adoption of this rezoning application. Therefore, the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7925-2023 may proceed to first and second readings concurrently, and be forwarded to Public Hearing, followed by third reading and final adoption. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7925-2023 be given first and second readings, and forwarded to Public Hearing; DISCUSSION: 1. Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: OCP Major Corridor: 2023-059-RZ MOHAMMAD AFROUSHE Lot 10 District Lot 439 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 46269 Rural Residential Rural Residential No Page 1 of 4 Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing Requirement: 2. Background: RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) & P-4 (Place of Worship) RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Single Detached Residential RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Rural Residential Vacant Lot RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Rural Residential Single Detached Residential RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Rural Residential Single Detached Residential RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Rural Residential Single Detached Residential and Place of Worship Single Detached Residential 0.32 hectares (0.80 acres) Entire Lot 96 Avenue Rural Standard The subject site is a split zoned lot, inlcuding the RS-3 and P-4 zones. The west portion of the site that is approximately 0.14 hectares (0.35 acres) in size and that contains the building is zoned P-4. The remainder of the site is zoned RS-3. The existing building operated as a church but has not been used as a Place of Worship or church for several years. In 2021, the applicant purchased the property as a single-family dwelling. Subsequently, he began renovation of the building without obtaining the required building permits. In the Fall of 2022, the City became aware of the renovations that were being done without the building permit. The Building Department attended the property and issued a stop work order until proper permits are obtained. It was during this process that the applicant was made aware that what he had purchased under the impression of being a single-family dwelling, was in fact a church. As such, rezoning of the property to allow the change of use from place of worship to single detached residential use became necessary to allow the use of the building for residential purposes. 3. Project Description: The subject site located at 28304 96 Avenue is a rectangular lot and is bounded by single-family residential properties to the north, east and west. To the south of the property is a vacant lot. The portion of the lot that the building is located on is relatively flat. There are some steep slopes at the rear of the property and some significant trees at the front and the rear of the property that would not be impacted by the rezoning application. The property is being accessed from 96 Avenue (see Appendices A and B). 2023-059-RZ Page 2 of 4 4. Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The OCP designates the entire subject property as Rural Residential. Under this designation, a rezoning of the P-4 zoned portion of the property to RS-3 to allow a single-family dwelling is supported. ii) Zoning Bylaw: This application is to rezone the west portion of the subject site from RS-3 and P-4 to RS-3 to allow the change of use of the existing building from a place of worship (church) to a single-family dwelling (see Appendix C). The eastern portion of the property will remain zoned RS-3. iii) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application is required for this project and involves the following relaxation (See Appendix D) • To reduce the west Interior Lot Line Setback form 1.50 m (4.9 ft.) to 1.38 m (4.5 ft.) The requested variance to the RS-3 zone will be subject of a future Council report. iv) Advisory Design Panel: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for a single-family dwelling; therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. v) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because no further development is proposed beyond what is existing on the site and the proposed change of use is in compliance with the OCP. 5. Interdepartmental Implications: i) Environmental Section: The Environmental section was consulted and there were no concerns identified for the rezoning of this property. ii) Engineering Department: The Engineering Department was consulted and there were no concerns identified for the rezoning of this property. iii) Building Department: The Building Department listed a number of issues that would be addressed through the building permit process but were of no concerns for the rezoning of this property. 2023-059-RZ Page 3 of 4 CONCLUSION: It is recommended that first and second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw 7925-2023, and that application be forwarded to Public Hearing. Afterwards, this proposal may proceed to third reading and then adoption given that no requirements should be fulfilled by the applicant before final adoption of the rezoning application.
