RJ00-55 MOVED by Counciflor King DVP/80/99 SECONDED by Councillor Stewart' that the Municipal Clerk be 'authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit No. DVP/80/99 (for property at 23281 Kanaka Way). CARRIED 06.02 D VP181199- 20318 Dewdney Trunk Road (an application to relax the rear yard setback from 6.0 metres to 1.1 metres to permit the construction of a gasoline bar and convenience store) RJ00-56 MOVED by Councillor King DVP/8 1/99 ' SECONDED by Councillor Stewart that the Municipal Clerk be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit No. DVP/8 1/99 (20318 Dewdney Trunk Road). Discussion Messrs. Mike Karam of 20337 Dewdney Trunk Road and Roy Dyke of 20319 Dewdney Trunk Road were permitted to address Council at this point. They advised that they live across the street from the subject site. Mr. Karam advised that he did not receive notification of the application and wished to have further details Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 Page 5 The Municipal Clerk confirmed that requisite notices were provided to the adjacent property owners onJanuary 26, 2000 in accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act. The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map of the site and explained that it is zoned for a Service Commercial Use and that the only issue under consideration at this time is the proposed relaxation in the rear yard setback as the site is already zoned. The variance in setbacks will pull the building further away from 203 Street. On question as to whether the facility will be a 24 hour operation, the Director of Current Planning advised that the hours of operation have not come up. He noted that the proponents are in attendance to answer questions. Mr. Gordon Walker of 2957 Southwest Marine Drive, Vancouver advised that he is representing the owners. He noted that there previously was a gasoline bar and convenience store use on the property. The convenience store will be a 24 hour operation. It is his understanding that there is no restriction in the District on the hours of operation of this type of use. He noted that the nearby Petrocan operates 24 hours. He feels the longer hours of operation contribute to neighbourhood safety. Councillor Morse noted that although the mandatory distance for distributing notices is metres,, she would like to see that radius extended. On question, the Director of Current Planning advised that Council has notyet adopted any policies with respect to a commercial-residential interface and that Council is limited to asking commercial owners/operator to restrict the hours of operation of some of their uses on a voluiteer basis. This would be done at the rezoning stage but in this case the property is already zoned for a Commercial use. The only discretion Council has at this point is to vary the standard for the rear yard setbacks. Councillor King advised that she will support the variance on the basis that it is advantageous to the residents across the street to have the building pulled away from the road. The hours of operation need to be discussed by Council as a separate issue and dealt with on a Municipal-wide basis. The motion CARRIED. 07 CORRESPONDENCE Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 I Page 6 08 BY-LAWS 08.01 Maple Ridge - Pitt Meadows Municipal Advisory Committee on Accessibility Issues Amending By-law No. 5845-1999 (to formally establish a joint Committee with the District of Pitt Meadows and to repeal By-law No. 5420-1996 in its entirety).

Discussion Councillor King noted that concerns were raised at the Public Hearing with respect to view lines as they affect the surrounding area, particularly by the owner of the Gourmet Hideaway. The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map and described the project, noting that the building is designed for the site. The view corridor on the plans shows very limited blockage of the view from the Gournet Hideaway. Councillor Speirs stated that he cannot support the building design as it does not in any way fit into the neighbourhood in a heritage context. The motion CARRIED. Councillor Speirs OPPOSED. 09.02.03 RZ152199 - 24103 and 24127— 102 Avenue - By-laws No. 5864-1999 and 5865- 1999 Reference was made to the staff report dated December 20, 1999 in support of the following recommendations with respect to the subject by-laws to create approximately 84 lots not less than 213 m 2. R/00-67 09.02.03.01 BL 5864-1999 first reading MOVED by Councillor King SECONDED by Councilior Speirs that Maple Ridge Zone Amending By-law No. 5864-1999 be read a first time. Discussion - Councillor King advised that she has concerns as to how the development will abut the greenbelt and what the storm water system will look like when it is finished. Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 Page 10 The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map of the site and explained the pattern of development, noting that there are three properties involved which are adjacent to the proposed Albion Village Centre. He also displayed the Albion Guide Plan and identified the road pattern and location of the greenbelt area which is part of the riparian protection for the creek further to the north. Councillor King stated that she would rather see the greenbelt have public access than be cut off by a serious of back yards. The Director of Current Planning explained that there are two schools of thought on that issue. The District has had discussions with the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry does not encourage public access to the riparian protection area. He further noted that this is an incredibly sensitive area and could be destroyed by public access. It is not intended to be a passive play area. Councillor King expressed the opinion that this is a debate that Councif needs to have in a serious way. This issue should be investigated thoroughly in a general way as huge amounts of river and stream areas are being blocked off by homes being built adjacent to greenbelts. The Director of Current Planning advised that the storm sewer is currently being developed and more information will be available as the application proceeds. Councillor Speirs stated that he supports the application subject to the storm water issues being resolved in a satisfactory way. He suggested using the term "riparian reserve" instead of "park". The Director of Current Planning explained that the designation "Park" needs to be used to transfer the land into the ownership of the crown. All parkiand is under crown ownership. Councillor Gordon stated that she will support the application proceeding to first reading, .however, she still has some concern about density and the amount of open space. She would like to know what determines where the streams have public access and where they do not. She agrees with Councillor King that Council needs to have a future discussion on that issue to provide some clarity. The Mayor stated that he still has concern with respect to the lane carrying on in a north-south direction instead of dead-ending into the village centre. If that lane carries through, it will cut up the village centre substantially. He wants to see a north-south situation on that lane in order to make it a more comprehensive village centre. I He further stated that he would like to find out if the District can put a covenant or notice on the new homes advising that there will be a village centre use to the east Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 Page 11 of them rather than a residential use. He asked if staff could explore that possibility prior to final approval. Councillor Morse stated that she would like to see notification on title happen on all developments so that people know without a doubt what kind of zoning is on surrounding properties. She added that she does not want to see the village centre become an intersection. The Director of Current Planning explained that restrictive covenants are generally of a negative nature and the Land Titles Office has in the past taken a dim view of putting other types of notification on title. He suggested that the best way to achieve the village centre is to zone the lands in advance or at the same time the area emerges. Staff can discuss this issue further with Council. Councillor King suggested posting a sign on the site designated for the village centre or rezoning it in advance. The District needs to do something to make sure the village centre happens. The motion CARRIED.

Discussion Councillor Gordon stated that she will support the application proceeding to Public Hearing, however, she is still concerned about the lack of a buffer with the adjacent ALR property. The Director of Current Planning provided' information on the value of the existing house on the adjacent ALR lands and noted that it is likely that property will remain as a residential use. The motion CARRIED. 09.02.05 RZ/78199 - 20141 Telep Avenue - PS-i to RS-lb Reference was made to the staff report dated January 10, 2000 in support of the following recommendation contained therein with respect to the subject application to permit subdivision into 23 lots.

Discussion Counci1hr King expressed concern about the safety of the site, particularly the traffic movements, noting that this is already a very difficult intersection and a gasoline station by its nature is a high traffic generator. She is also concerned about the safety of the school children walking past that intersection to get to Kanaka Creek Elementary School. The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map of the site. He anticipated that access to the Haney By-pass would be via west bound right-in and right-out turns only. Access to the Lougheed Highway would have to be via right-in and right-out turns for eastbound traffic, with a raised delta to prevent left turn movements. The application will require the approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Highways and will have to meet all safety requirements. Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 Page 14 Councillor Speirs noted that the historical Stone House overlooked this area before development of the townhouses on that property occurred and the house was demolished. The Stone House had considerable historical value to the local residents and he suggested it would be nice if the applicants could incorporate some stonework into the proposal. Councillor King advised that she supports this commercial proposal proceeding to Public Hearing, noting that it was not a suitable site for an earlier proposal for townhouses due to the noise factor. However, she wants to see the traffic and safety issues addressed before this application goes much further. The Mayor noted that the site is at the entry way to the downtown core area and he suggested that staff work with the developer to embellish that entry way. The motion CARRIED. 09.02.08 RZ12100-23039-117Avenue—RS-1 toR-1 Reference was made to the staff report dated January 25, 2000 in support of the following recommendation contained therein with respect to the subject application to permit subdivision into two parcels: RJ00-73 MOVED by Councillor Isaac RZI2I00 SECONDED by Councillor Gordon to Pub.

Maple Ridge currently does not have a by-law in place to assume responsibility or liability for them. Approval for the systems remains with the Province.

OTHER MA TTERS DEEMED EXPEDIENT NOTICES OF MO TION ADJOURNMENT 9:25 p.m. QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC The Mayor asked that the public to observe the Question Period rules which are listed on the Agenda. Council Meeting Minutes February 15, 2000 Page 23 15.1 Mr. Harry Nicholson of 11461 - 236 Street - Haney By-pass/Lougheed Highway Mr. Nicholson referred to Item 09.02.07 (Rezoning Application RZ/84/99 to permit a gasoline station and convenience store at 23175 Haney By-pass). He suggested that this site, which is located at the corner of Haney By-pass and Lougheed Highway, would be a good place for a park rather than a gasoline station as it a dangerous intersection. He further advised that he has had 30 years of experience in roadway lighting and finds that the roadway lighting is terrible in that area. Vehicles come out of a well lit area into darkness. The Mayor offered to look into the lighting issue. He noted that the application for the gasoline station ha§ been authorized to proceed to Public Hearing. 15.2 Mr. John Cochrane - 11656 - 202 Street - Secondary Suites Mr. Cochrane advised that he agrees with Mr. Nicholson's comments on the Lougheed Highway and Haney By-pass intersection. He referred to the adoption of the Sçcondary Suites Policy and by-laws and questioned if Council has a back-up plan to address the parking issue if it becomes a problem. - The Mayor adyised that there will be a review of the secondary suite policy in six months. If a back-up plan is required, that is where it would become evident. Mr. Cochrane noted that it will be very difficult for Council to reverse any of the zoning changes if parking is creating a hazard for residents after the secondary suites have been installed. The General Manager of Public Works and Development Services advised that presumably it would be a specific situation and it could certainly be looked at by the Traffic Committee. Mr. Joseph Robinsmith - 22303 Lougheed Highway - Rezoning Application P2178199 at 20141 Telep Avenue Mr. Robinsmith referred to Item 09.02.05 to rezone property at 20141 Telep Avenue.

Some examples of their efforts in the heritage arena include: - The purchase of the Bank of Montreal Building (now home to the Billy Miner Pub) which at the time of its purchase housed old chicken coops and plenty of rubble; and was in great need of repair. - The Gehring's renovation of the Bank of Montreal building can be credited with the beginning of the revitalization of Port Haney and the waterfront. Their financial and emotional commitment to the building, restored faith in this neighbourhood. - Both Don and Bernice have contributed countless hours to the preservation of our heritage for over 30 years. Today they continue their work at St. Andrew's Church, Haney House, walking tours of Hammond, and participation on the Heritage Advisory, Committee and the Historical Society are just a few examples. • The nomination letter concludes that Don and Bernice Gebring should be considered pioneers for their unselfish acts and the love of their neighbourhood and community. The Heritage Advisory Committee agrees with this statement and is pleased to present the both of you with the 2000 Heritage Achievement Award. RESIDENTIAL HERITAGE AWARD The Residential Heritage Award honours the outstanding conservation of a residential heritage building or its landscaping in the District of Maple Ridge. This year, the Heritage Advisory Committee is pleased to announce that the rFreer Home on 124th Avenue has been chosen to receive this award. The home was built in 1905 by Leacroft Howard Freer for his widowed mother Mrs. Gertrude Louisa Freer, who immigrated to British Columbia from England at that time. The home is set back from 124th, and isaccessed via a long, landscape covered, gravel driveway. The Committee members who visited the property noted that visiting the home and the property was like stepping back in time. Both the house and the landscaping are beautifully maintained and reflect historic Maple Ridge. The owner of the home Robin Morrison, is unable to attend this evening, so Joseph Robinsmith, Chair of the Committee is pleased to accept this award on her behalf. COMMERCIAL INSTITUTIONAL AWARD The Commercial Institutional Heritage Award honours the outstanding conservation of a commercial or institutional heritage building or its landscaping in the District of Maple Ridge. The Committee is pleased to honour the Whonnock General Store and Post Office with the 2000 Commercial Institutional Award. Both of these properties are included in the District of Maple Ridge Heritage Inventory which notes that the Post Office was built in 1932 and the general store was built in 1937, and these buildings stand in the very heart of the Whonnock Commercial Area, and are symbolic of the community that it has served for many years. - both the Post Office and the General Store are included in the Districts Community Heritage Register and staff note that these were the first commercial properties volunteered for inclusion in the register, and are the only two properties to be registered by the same owner. The Heritage Advisory Committee also notes that the owners of the property Sue Schultze and Quinn Gaetz are strong heritage supporters and through the maintenance and preservation of their buildings contribute to the preservation of the District, and particularly the historic core of Whonnock. HERITAGE IN YOUTH AWARD This is the first time the Heritage Advisory Committee has honoured a young person for his or her involvement in heritage. However, in response to the receipt of 4 independent nominations, the Heritage Advisory Committee decided to create a Youth in Heritage Award to honour young people who have donated their time and enthusiasm to support heritage in our community. Amber Kostuchenko was nominated by 4 individuals wthom all noted that Amber is worthy of an award for a variety of reasons, such as: - started volunteering at Haney House when she was in Highschool, and has worked over 800 hours on the site. - Completed the inventory of the Haney House collection, which took approximately 20 hrs per week over a 4 month time period. - Volunteers at Haney House and the Museum throughout the school year, despite carrying a full load of university courses. - Amber is also a member of the Historical Society and is the youngest member of its executive. - Amber is currently working with Lisa Codd (last years Heritage Achievement Award recipient) and high school students to produce the Historical Societies main event for heritage week this year. One of the nomination letters submitted to the Heritage Advisory Committee concludes that Amber's volunteer work has gone beyond the call of duty, and notes that she is an exceptional young woman with a strong dedication to community, and heritage preservation. The letter concludes that the author could not think of a more worthy recipient to receive a youth award, and the HAC Committee concurs and is pleased to present Amber Kostucheriko with the first Youth in Heritage Award. The District of Maple Ridge, Heritage Awards program recognizes significant contributions to heritage conservation in the municipality. The program is coordinated by the Heritage Advisory Committee and Awards are presented by Council during Heritage Week. We are pleased to announce that the winners of the 2000 Heritage Award are as follows: HeritageAchievement .............................................Don and Bernice Gehring for contributing countless hours to the preservation of heritage in the community.

Before issuance of a building permit, one of the conditions to be satisfied is the District of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw, which states that "no building or structure shall be sited less than 60 mfrom a rear lot line." The applicant is requesting that the rear yard set back be reduced from 6.0 m to 1.1 m. IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION The subject site is located on the southwest corner of 203 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. - - ThereisanexistingmalLdeve1opment ontwo-sides-.of1he-subjeGt-site-with-on-site-access-poi-nts— -- - - - to the west and south. Road access to the site will be provided at two points on Dewdney Trunk Road. The building location is proposed for the southwest corner of the site in approximately the same location as a previous building. V. PLANNING ANALYSIS According to the Zoning Bylaw, where there is more than one fronting street, the lot line with the narrowest dimension is considered the front lot line. In this case, the narrowest dimension is the east property line fronting on 203 Street. The rear lot line is therefore the west property line and a reduction in the rear yard setback from this line is requested. As this site is in a prominent location, staff recommend that the applicant present this project to the Advisory Design Panel. In anticipation of Council's agreement with this recommendation, the applicant presented this project to the January 6, 2000 Design Panel meeting. Attached are the comments of the Panel, and the applicant has advised that the comments will be incorporated in the final building permit application. VI CONCLUSION: As the site is bounded by a service commercial use on two sides and the reduced rear yard is adjacent to one of these uses, staff recommend support for this application to reduce the required rear yard setback.

Hogarth DATE: January 27, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: E02-1 19-00 1 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Q,"c# Cuo nC I SUBJECT: Owner Request for Return of 119 Avenue Road Allowance at 20503 Lougheed Highway SUMMARY: The owner of Triple Tree Nurseryland located at 20503 Lougheed Highway requests consideration for the return of previously dedicated but unconstructed 119 Avenue road allowance that is now redundant given staff support for a revised road geometry in a more northerly alignment. Staff support a road exchange to address the issue that would see the exchange of redundant 119 Avenue road allowance for additional road allowance on 206 Street to allow widening necessary for the future construction of the intersection at 206 Street and Lougheed Highway. RECOMMENDATION: That Maple Ridge 119 Avenue Road Exchange Bylaw No. 5851-1999 be read a first and second time and that the rules of order be waived and Maple Ridge 119 Avenue Road Exchange Bylaw No. 5851-1999be read a third time; and further That the Municipal Clerk be hereby instructed to prepare the necessary Road Exchange By-law and advertise the same. BACKGROUND: In 1978, a portion of the 119 Avenue road allowance in the 20500 block was dedicated through subdivision of the property located at 20503 Lougheed Highway. The dedication was intended as part of the proposed 119 Avenue road allowance needed to facilitate future urban road construction linking 203 Street with 207 Street. At the time of dedication the proposed horizontal road geometry was fixed inamore southerly alignment than is now the case. In light of a change in horizontal alignment to the north, the road allowance in question will be redundant when a separate but similar road exchange to the north takes place to dedicate 119 Avenue in the revised alignment. In exchange the owner of 20503 Lougheed Highway agrees to dedicate land at the northwest corner of 206 Street and Lougheed Highway that the municipality requires to facilitate future construction of a road intersection at that location. Therefore, it is appropriate to support the request for return of road allowance to the parcel from which it was originally dedicated and further that for convenience and other considerations that the matter be addressed by means of road exchange. -1- Maple Ridge 11 ye kue Road Exchange Bylaw No. 5851-1999 is the instrument to facilitate the return of edund t 119 Avenue road allowance in exchange for needed 206 Street road allowance.

Certain water facility improvements necessary for this subdivision were constructed by the developer as a condition of rezoning. A portion of these improvements are identified as a Development Cost Charge item in the applicable Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5615-1997. It is therefore appropriate to forgive a portion of the Development Cost Charges payable at this subdivision stage to reflect the DCC works constructed by the developer. The amount of eligible forgiveness equals $31,470.00 which represents the total value of the water component of the DCC's payable. RECOMMENDATION: L That with respect to Subdivision 38/99, be it resolved that in view of having constructed Development Cost Charge water works in the vicinity of 132 Avenue and 236 Street, the water component of the Development Cost Charges payable by the developer be reduced by $31,470.00. BACKGROUND: a) Purpose: Subdivision application SD 38/99 has been processed to create a 31 lot subdivision, for which Development Cost Charges wilLhe payable. Water facilities necessary for the development of the proposed subdivision were constructed in support of rezoning application RZ 10/95. As a portion of these works are identified as DCC Water items in applicable DCC Bylaw No. 56 15-1997, it is appropriate to consider reducing the Water component of the Development Cost Charges payable for the subdivision. The DCC Water project involved is LTC No. 3005-236 St. (400 Pump), which relates to construction of a water pumping station in the area of 236 Street and 132 Avenue. -1- b) Policy Implications: Section 933 of the Municipal Act provides for reduction of Development Cost Charges payable by a property owner in support of a subdivision. Authorization of development cost charge reduction for eligible servicing components identified in the Long Term Capital Program is consistent with municipal practice for addressing this issue.

This application is for a two storey office under the CRM (Commercial Residential) zone. Staff support this application for an extension. RECOMMENDATION: That a one year extension be granted for rezoning application RZ/15198. BACKGROUND: This application is to rezone the property to permit the construction of a two storey 1560 m2 office building. The following dates outline Council's consideration of the application: - The land use report (see attached) was considered on August 5, 1998; - First Reading to Bylaw 5736-1998 was granted October. 27, 1998; - Public Hearing was held November 17, 1998; - Second and Third reading was granted on November 24, 1998. The following are the outstanding Council conditions to be addressed prior to consideration of final reading: 1) A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; 2)Rèinoval of the exlsTtingbuiftlinj/s; Discussion: A recent fire in the vacant building has caused a delay in demolition pending a settlement of claim for loss from the applicant's insurance carrier. The owner belives that this settlement is imminent and demolition will soon proceed. The geotechnical report is expected to be completed with the building permit application as the final building design may be impacted by geotechnical considerations. -1- The applicant has been actively pursuing the completion of this rezoning application and it is anticipated that within the next few months final consideration will be requested. CONCLUSION: Staff support the extension and recommend that Council grant a one year extension.

SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the above noted property to permit the construction of a two storey 1560 m2 office building. RECOMMENDATION: That application RZ/15198 (for property located at 11566 224 St.) to rezone property described in the memorandum dated August 5, 1998 from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to CRM (Commercial/Residential) be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum. Condition to be met prior to first reading: Comments from the Advisory Design Panel. Fully dimensioned development plan including: Neighbourhood context plan; Site plan; Building elevations; Landscape concept; And that prior to final approval the following must be complete: Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Highways; Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Road dedication as required; -1- 5) Removal of the existing building/s; BACKGROUND: The property is located in the Port Haney area on the north east corner of the Haney ByPass and 224 St.. It is approximately .2 ha in area with a 10 m elevation change from the north east corner to the south west corner. The development proposal will take advantage of the slope and provide for a one and a half storey office building and underground and concealed parking. Access to the underground parking garage and the concealed parking area will be provided by the 224 St. cul de sac bulb. This driveway also provides access to the main entrance for the office building. Policy Implications: Official Community Plan: The site is designated Commercial/Apartment on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan, and this application is in compliance with this designation. A Public Information Meeting is therefore not required. The site is also within the Port Haney Development Permit Area and the building form will have to comply with the guidelines and objectives of this DP area at the Development Permit/Building Permit stage. Consistent with Council policy, this application should be presented to the Advisory Design Panel prior to Public Hearing and prior to issuance of a Development Permit. Zoning Bylaw: The CRM zone allows for either commercial or apartment use and is distinct to the Port Haney area. Since office use is one of many permitted commercial uses in the CRM zone, this application complies with the requirements of the zone. Outside Agencies: The Ministry of Transportation and Highways has indicated that the Haney ByPass will eventually be widened to provide for a five lane cross section. It will, therefore, be necessary to dedicate a portion of the south west corner of the site to accommodate this future widening. Since the property is within 800 m of the Lougheed Highway the Ministry of Transportation arid Highways must approve the Zone Amending Bylaw under Section 54 of the Highway Act prior to final consideration. Servicing Concerns: The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of this development do not exist to the site. It will therefore be necessary for the owner to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and post security to provide the required services prior to final reading. It is also recommended that a geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development be provided prior to Final Reading. The existing house will also have to be removed prior to Final Reading -2- CONCLUSION: The development application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. It is recommended that it be forwarded to Public Hearing. Chief Administrative Officer Ge1 Manager: tevelopment bIicWorks and \ Services GP/bjc -3- Reconciliation win ISO CISIM lit Il I it....,. IS?

A better definition of the external/internal components on that area of the building required. Pedestrian access to the site needs to be improved. Pedestrian circulation on the site is not clear. Stairway functionality is questioned. The relationship of the development with surrcunding properties to the east and north needs to be addressed. The Panel has concerns regarding architectural elements of the project including: the building entrance, which needs to be restudied (appears to be out of scale/context); the vertical elements are inconsistent; the roof will be visible from the north and needs to be redesigned. Overall the Panel suggests a greater level of continuity of building elements. More details are required for the underground parking area, the location of pillars, lighting, etc. More thought is suggested on security, particularly as it related to the pedestrian deck area on the east and south sides of the building Public Hearing Minutes November 17, 1998 Page 14 Mr. Hogarth questioned what the intent is for the ALR lands. He noted that they not identified as Park; they are not being identified as something that can be preserved or dedicated. He expressed concern that they could be subdivided off and sold at some time. Mr. Walt Johnson, the Development Manager of Silver Maples Develonent Ltd. advised that he represents the owner of the property He responded that)hey have had many discussions on this issue. The Agricultural Land Commission Q½LC) has certain desires for that land and Maple Ridge has certain concept plans. TJeproponents will be working with Maple Ridge with respect to their wishes. They,will have to co-ordinate with the ALC. A speaker asked if there is any guarantee that the inthions voiced by the developers today will not be changed. / The Director of Current Planning explained thaithe concerns and questions raised at this meeting will now be discussed by Council an"referred to staff for analysis. Many of the requests made this evening are for more d,(ails of the development plan which has not yet been done, e.g. storm drainage, graj1g plans, etc. The final concept plans are not designed yet. These happen as subdivjslon evolves. Subdivision normally happens after the zoning application. The topic of)fiis meeting is land use. Subdivision is not part of the public scrutiny, however, Coun l has now heard the concerns and questions raised by the citizens and they will be take/under advisement - - Mr. Josephson asked if Mapl,jRidge has a model for development in Silver Valley. He participated in the Vancouv%r City Plan and they canvassed two neighbourhoods by mail and did a survey and a ybrkshop and compiled the results toutilize in their decision towards development. submitted a copy of the Vancouver City Plan Tool Kit. On question, the Diror of Current Planning identified the proposed school sites, noting that the School Disfrict has advised that one site located in the northern portion is not now required. 7 There was no fther comment and the Acting Mayor declared By-laws 5689-1998 and 5690-1998 deal( with. 2) RZ115198 - MAPLE RIDGE ZONE AMENDING B YLA WNO. 5 73 6-1998 LEGAL: Parcel 1, District Lot 398, Group 1, Reference Plan LMP 13237, New Westminster District LOCAT1ON' 11566224 Street FROML RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) TO: CRM (CommerciallResidential) PURPOSE: To permit the construction of a two storey 1560m' office building The Director of Current Planning displayed an overhead map of the site and called upon Mr. Harvey Hatch, the architect, to describe the proposal. Public Hearing Minutes November 17, 1998 Page 15 Mr. Hatch explained that the proposed 2.5 storey office building will be at the end of 224 Street. There is cul-de-sac or turn-around at the bottom of the street. The intention isto construct a driveway that would extend the street to allow traffic onto the property. There is a drop in the terrain from the Gourmet Hideaway restaurant and the roof will be below the second floor of the restaurant. There will be two levels of parking - one for the tenants and one for the customers. The parking will be secured at night and there will be gates to prevent people going into the back of the site during off-hours. The tenants at this point are unknown. A speaker who identified himself as the owner of the Gourmet Hideaway advised that he and his clients are concerned the proposed development will affect the view of the river that they now enjoy. He has had many calls in that regard. He noted that there was no height measurement available for the proposed building at the Municipal offices when he inquired this afternoon. Mr. Hatch responded that the parking area is actually located in the ground with a second floor of office space on top. It is in reality a 1.5 storey building. He indicated the sight line, noting that the view from the Gourmet Hideaway is somewhat of a distant view. He stated that the view line has a chance to get over the proposed building before the more distant river view comes into sight. Mr. Don Gebring of 22355 River Road asked what other uses can go into the building under the CRM zoning and if a restaurant use is included. The Director of Current Planning explained the permitted uses which include a restaurant use. He noted that the use has a lot to do with the building itself. The intended use is for an office with no residential component to it. A retrofit of the present design to another use would be difficult. There was no further comment and the Acting Mayor declared By-law No. 5736-1998 dealt with. Having given all those persons whose interests were deemed affected by the matters contained herein a chance to be heard, the Mayor terminated the Public Hearing at 10:25 p.m. MAYOR Certified Correct Municipal Clerk CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A.

STEVENSON PLANNING DEPARTMENT RZ 52/99 PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING In accordance with Municipal Policies a Public Information Meeting was held on Januaiy 131h 2000 at 7:30pm in the Albion Hall for the subject application. Cavalier Homes was represented by: J. Duguid Genesis Development Consultants Ltd. D. Bowins Bowins & Associates M. Adams Envirowest Consultants Ltd J. Faber Principal Cavalier Homes Mr D. Stevenson, Planning Department was in attendance as an observer. There were approximately 18 residents in attendance at the meeting (A list of residents names and addresses is attached for you information.) Genesis opened the meeting with a presentation of a proposed plan of development which described the subject site in relation to the overall Municipal Guide Plan, Official Community Plan designation and general environmental aspects on the property. Genesis subsequently introduced Mr Don Bowins, Civil Consultant and Mr Mark Adams, Environmental Consultant for the project and invited questions from the public. The salient points of inquny from the public focused on the following: RE CE I V E C) 0 Road improvements to 102 Avenue 1jAN 14 2000 LAND PLANNING * ENGINEERING SERVICE * SUBDIVISION A AMME Genesis -2- • Servicing aspects of the development • Traffic impact on 102n1 Avenue • Control of overland drainage on the subject site • Park Dedication for creek protection • Need for improved transit services The consultants confirmed the extent of road widening and service standards that the developer will build as a condition of subdivision. The consultants described the off-site services required to service the subject property and provided the assurance that the downstream sanitary sewer system will be capable of accommodating the proposed development. The Storm Sewer System will also be oversized to accommodate the ultimate catchment area tributary to the proposed sewer route. The consultants confirmed a separate concrete sidewalk would be constructed on the northside of .1 02nd 'Avenue for pedestrian safety. There may be a need for the Municipality to provide an interim asphalt standard sidewalk west of the subject property to 240th Street to provide continuation for pedestrians on 102 d Avenue. The consultants assured residents that no overland drainage would be penrntted to flow on to private lands. The servicing design will ensure all on-site drainage is contained and discharged without adversely impacting neighbouring lands. The, consultants explained the need for the amount of "Parkland" being dedicated for protection of the northerly watercourse and that the limits of the parkiand are a direct function of environmental set back criteria established by BC Environment and Oceans Canada. The consultants could offer no suggestions as to how the residents could expect improved transit operations to this area as this is under the jurisdiction of the GVRD. Overall the public response to the subject application was positive. Respectfully, 11 J , J' John J. Duguid M.I.T.E. A.Sc.T. Copy: Cavalier Homes/D. K. IBowins & Associates/M.

Hogarth DATE: January 11, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/68/99 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: RZ168/99 (12742 228 Street) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This application will permit subdivision into ten single family residential building lots. The subdivision layout accommodates a variety of lot sizes within the existing Official Community Plan density designation. The proposed development pattern also complies with the guideplan for this neighbourhood. Development of neighbouring properties has provided the necessary services to 127 Avenue although some work will be required by the developer. II RECOMMENDATION: That application RZ/68199 (for property located at 12742 228 Street).to rezone property described in the memorandum dated January 11,2000 from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum. Condition to be met prior to first reading: 1) Fully dimensioned subdivision plan showing the following: location of existing buildings: road dedication; And that prior to final approval the following must be comniete: Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; A Restrictive Covenant for setbacks on lots 7-10 inclusive must be registered at the Land Title Office; -1- III BACKGROUND: Applicant: Ace Woodworks Ltd. Owner: R & D McMullen Legal Description: Lot 45, Sec. 20, Tp. 12, Plan 31426, NWD OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential (15 upnh) Proposed: Single Family Residential (15 upnh) Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: N: Urban Residential and Suburban Residential S: Urban Residential Rural ResidentiallALR W: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property; Rural Residential Proposed Use of Property: Urban Residential Access: 127 Avenue & 228 Street & 228A Street Servicing: Urban IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The developer has requested to rezone the property to permit subdivision into 10 single family residential lots. The subdivision will create two lots fronting the east side of 228 Street, two lots fronting the west side of 228A Street and the remaining six lots fronting onto the north side of 127 Avenue. In order to facilitate this development and to complete the neighbourhood traffic circulation opportunity, 228A Street will be constructed south to intersect with 127 Avenue. V PLANNING ANALYSIS (i) Official Community Plan Schedu1 "B" The property is currently designated Single Family Residential (15 upnh). The development proposes both the RS-1 and RS-lb zone and the overall density proposed is slightly less than that permitted at 15 upnh. The majority of the lots exceed the minimum parcel area required for the RS-1 zone. Four lots are slightly less than the minimum required and thus require RS-lb zoning. -2- (ii) Neighbourhood Plan The property is located on the easterly edge of an urban neighbourhood that is bordered by 227 Street, 128 Avenue and extends east to 229 Street. The neighbourhood guideplan, which was produced when the area evolved as an urban residential area, illustrated a layout that matches the proposed subdivision. The 228A Street extension will complete the transportation circulation pattern initially described in the neighbourhood guide plan. There are four remaining parcels on 128 Avenue east of 228A Street that are also designated for single family residential development. These four lots make up the balance of potential urban development in this area. The parcel sizes are comparable to the lot sizes in the balance of the neighbourhood. Accordingly the homes built on these lots will also be comparable to homes in the rest of this area in terms of setbacks and the mass of the structures. Homes constructed on 228 Street and 228A Street north of the development site are sited the required 7.5 m from the front and rear lot line, respecting the RS-1 zone. The RS-lb zone requires a minimum front and rear yard setback of 6 m. In order to continue the setback pattern already established, it is recommended that a restrictive covenant to require 7.5 m setback on the RS-lb lots be registered on the proposed lots 7 - 10 inclusive. (ii) Agricultural Land Reserve Interface Policy Property located directly east of the subject site is within the ALR. Policy 56 of the Official Community Plan encourages buffering mechanisms to reduce conflicts between land uses in appropriate areas. In the case of this proposal, staff feel that buffering mechanisms are not necessary because the house on the adjacent lot is located only a few metres from the development site. This development will be adjacent to a residential use and not an agricultural activity. VI SERVICING: When the south side of 127 Avenue was developed, 127 Avenue was constructed to a local urban standard. This project will complete the north side of 127 Avenue and extend it further east terminating at the cul de sac. It is not anticipated that 127 Avenue will be extended east in the future noting that the ALR abuts this neighbourhood. In order to secure for thecompletion of 127 Avenue, the developer must enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and submit security. The property is not located within the South Alouette River floodplain. However the elevation is close enough that basement homes may not be permitted because of the shallow storm sewer. -3- VII CONCLUSION: The proposed subdivision layout provides a variety of lot sizes that in the balance complies with the Official Community Plan designation and fits into the neighbourhood guideplan. Accordingly, staff recommend that application R7J68199 be supported. Planning Technician Approved by: 'Xey7Fryer, P Planning ike I.

Hogarth DATE: January 10, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/78199 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev SUBJECT: RZ/78/99 (20141 Telep Ave.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Application RZ/78/99 will permit subdivision into approximately 23 single family residential lots. The subdivision geometry reflects the guideplan that was designed for this neighbourhood and the density respects the existing Official Community Plan designation. Previous subdivisions in the neighbourhood have provided the necessary services on Telep Avenue and 201 Street. As a consequence of the land lying within the Fraser River floodplain and geological limitations, home construction will be limited to particular designs. The subject property is also the subject of an archaeological investigation that must be concluded as a condition of zoning. II RECOMMENDATION: That application RZ/78199 (for property located at 20141 Telep Ave.) to rezone property described in the memorandum dated January 10, 2000 from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the ZoneAmending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum. Condition to be met prior to first reading: 1) Fully dimensionedsubdivision plan showing the following: location of existing buildings: road dedication; And that prior to flnal approval the following must be complete: A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Inclusion of the site into Sewer Area "A"; An archaeological report which summarizes the archaeological investigation and clears the site for development; A Restrictive Covenant specifying building types must be registered at the Land Title Office. -1- III BACKGROUND: Applicant: Damax Consultants Ltd. Owner: S. & A. Telep Legal Description: Lot 26, D.L. 263, GIp. 1, Plan LMP26079, NWD OCP: Existing: Single Family Residential (18 upnh) and Park Proposed: Single Family Residential (18 upnh) and Park Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-lb (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: N: Rural Residential 5: Urban Residential E: Urban Residential W: Golf Course (Pitt Meadows) Existing Use of Property: Rural Residential Proposed Use of Property: Urban - - - Access: Telep Avenue and 201 Street Servicing: Urban IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Damax Consultants Ltd. on behalf of the owners S & A Telep has submitted a request to rezone the subject property to permit subdivision into approximately 23 single family residential lots. To access and service the proposed lots, 201 Street will be extended to the north property line and will eventually provide access to 203 Street via Chatwin Avenue and Mclvor Avenue. The preliminary subdivision sketch shows six lots fronting Telep Avenue, six lots fronting the east side of 201 Street and eleven lots fronting the proposed 123 Avenue ciii de sac. The west side of 201 Street is designated for municipal park. There is an existing house on the property which was constructed in 1992. The home straddles four of the proposed lots and will likely remain for many years. Accordingly subdivision of the property will be accomplished through phasing. -2- V PLANNING ANALYSIS Official Community Plan Schedule "B" The property is designated Single Family Residential (18 upnh) and Park. The proposed 201 Street alignment delineates these two designations. The east side of 201 Street is proposed to be rezoned to RS-lb respecting the Official Community Plan designation and the west side of 201 Street will remain RS-3. Neighbourhood Plan The property is located at the west end of the District bordering on the Meadow Gardens Golf Course in Pitt Meadows. This proposal will be another phase in the development of this neighbourhood, which extends north from Dewdney Trunk Road. The balance of this neighbourhood to the south is also zoned RS-lb. Archaeological Site Part of the property is identified as an archaeological site and is therefore subject to compliance with the Heritage Conservation Act. The applicant has consulted with Antiquus Archaeological Consultants Ltd. who are familiar with the site. The consultant, under the guidance of the Ministry of Small Business, Tourism and Culture - Archaeology Branch, must conduct an archaeological investigation to clear the site for development. To insure that the site can be developed in accordance with the proposed RS-lb zone, itis recommended that this investigation be completed prior to zoning approval. The area west of 201 Street is designated for municipal park, and the archaeologist recommends that the park area be "capped" with imported clean fill to protect any remaining intact archaeological deposits from further harm. The archaeologist further recommends that an experienced archaeologist and a Katzie First Nation community member be present during the "capping" to ensure that no intact cultural deposits are impacted. Servicing Previous phases of development in this neighbourhood have provided urban services to the subject property. This subdivision will extend the services north along 201 Street and east on- the- 1-21Avenuà-cul--•de -sae - a) Fraser River Floodplain This land is located within the 1:200 year Fraser River Floodplain. This land was also included in a previous 25 lot subdivision to the south. At that time the parent parcel, which included this property, had a Restrictive Covenant registered against the title, which provided guidelines for floodproofing buildings. This Restrictive Covenant will be registered against the title of each newlot. - --3- P.: b) Geotechnical Considerations As a condition of the previous development phases a geotechnical report was required. As a result, a Restrictive Covenant was registered that provided restrictions and recommendations for building construction in order to prevent long term settlement. Lots to the south were also restricted to particular building type due to geotechnical concerns and the floodplain. It is recommended that prior to final approval, a similar Restrictive Covenant be registered which provides for specific building types for each lot. VI CONCLUSION: The proposed land use respects the existing Official Community Plan designation. The subdivision layout matches the neighbourhood guideplan previously established. Staff recommend that application RZ/78/99 be supported. Prepared by: Dave tevenson Planning Technician Approved by: )FeTf Fryer, P. Fqg. / rector of yuenanning Approd ke J.

The development proposal is for 99 congregate care units for independent seniors providing for meals and housekeeping. There are 32 multi-level care units proposed which will offer a higher level of care for seniors who require more assistance and depend on care workers for daily needs. II RECOMMENDATION: That application RZ183/99 (for property located at 12271, 12273 & 12275 224 Street) to rezone property described in the memorandum dated January 7, 2000 from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to CD-1-00 be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum. Condition to be met prior to first reading: 1) Fully dimensioned development plan including: Neighbourhood context plan; Site plan; Building elevations; Landscape concept; And that prior to final approval the following must hecomplete: - - Approval from the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch; Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; A Statutory right of way plan and agreement must be registered at the Land Title Office: Road dedication as required; -1- Consolidation of the development site; Removal of the existing building/s; III BACKGROUND: Applicant: Pat DeLuca Owner: P. DeLuca & C. DeLuca Legal Description: Lot 30 & 31, Plan 28189 & Parcel One of 60F, Plan. 8914, all of D.L. 399, Gp. 1, NWD OCP: Existing: Apartment District Proposed: Apartment District Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: CD-1-9-00 (Comprehensive Development) Surrounding Uses: N: Residential S: Apartment Building Apartment Building W: Watercourse Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: Residential Access: Lane Access Servicing: Required in support of the zoning. Previous Applications: R7139195 & DVP/34/98 IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This development application is an amendment to an existing application. The existing applièation received third reading from Council on August 27, 1996 subject to the requirements listed above. Council has also approved a Development Variance Permit for the proposal permitting a reduced parking standard in recognition of the fact that the project would operate as a residential facility for seniors. The appearance and general function of the proposed development has not been altered. However, a modification to the intended use has necessitated this application. The original proposal accommodated independent living for seniors while providing a number of onsite amenities such as optional meal services, laundry and linen service, transportation and elementary nursing needs including medication reminders. This type of senior's care is defined as "Level r' care. As the apartment units permit entirely independent living the facility qualifies strictly as a residential building. The proponent has identified that changes to senior government funding for "Level II" care have now created a need for the provision of this type of care. Consequently, the proposal has been amended to include 25% of the units for this purpose. This application addresses the change in use that results. -2- "Level II" care augments the "Level I" services to include assistance with bathing and limited personal attendance with walking and eating. The apartment unit provided therefore simply includes sleeping and sitting quarters with a small washroom. No cooking or bathing facilities are provided. This use no longer qualifies as a residential use and is instead a congregate care use, a use only permitted within institutional zones accommodating private hospitals. VI PLANNING ANALYSIS (i) Official Community Plan Schedule "B" The site is designated Apartment District on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. The application is in compliance with this designation. Development Permit Areas V and XXX The site is within Development Permit Area V. The applicant has applied for the Development Permit for this project ad will be complying with the objectives and guidelines set out in the Development Permit. Advisory Design Panel review is required before the Development Permit application is presented to Council. The site is also within Development Permit Area XXX. This DPA outlines objectives and guidelines for the protection of a watercourse. These requirements will be included as part of the Development Permit application. (iii) Zoning Proposal There is currently no zone that will accommodate both the residential and congregate care use for seniors. It is proposed therefore that a Comprehensive Development zone be created to address the needs of this proposal. The zone would include: - apartment residential use as the primary use; - congregate use as ancillary to the apartment use; - uses ancillary to the congregate care use; and - parking requirements that reflect the needs of the residents, recognizing that this proposal offers Level I and Level II care. - - --- - It is anticipated that this type of facility will be in more demand as our population ages, and this zone may be used for future proposals. VII SERVICING CONCERNS: The servicing requirements for the project have not changed with this application. All requirements that were identified under the previous application will continue to apply. -3- VIII CONCLUSION: The changes to this development proposal address a need that reflects recognized demographic changes regarding an aging population. Current zoning regulations do not recognize the mix of uses proposed with this development. The Comprehensive Development zone is proposed to provide an opportunity to provide both uses in one zone. The appearance of the project has not been altered and the project continues to address the objectives of the Official Community Plan. It is recommended that the application be supported.

The subject site is designated on the Official Community Plan (OCP) for service commercial use. The intent of the application is to permit the construction of a gas bar and convenience store. The subject site will be placed in a Development Permit Area established to recognize concerns regarding commercial development adjacent to residential uses. Staff support of this application is contingent on a plan of development that minimizes the impact of this proposal on the adjacent residential property. II RECOMMENDATION: That application RZ/84199 (for property located at 23175 Haney Bypass) to rezone property described in the memorandum dated January 24, 2000 from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to CS-i (Service Commercial) be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing and prior to final consideration of the Zone Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum and that the accompanying Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw be forwarded to the same Public Hearing. Condition to be met prior to first reading: 1) Comments from the Advisory Design Panel. 2) A Public Information Meeting must be held. 3) Fully dimensioned development plan including: - Neighbourhood context plan; Site plan; Building elevations; Landscape concept; 4) Fully dimensioned road network plan showing the following: O9,0'01 median ConStruction on Haney Bypass and Lougheed Hwy. road lane lining site accesses dimensions of all road features onsite circulation including vehicle storage And that prior to final approval the following must be complete: Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Highways; Registration of a Rezoning Development Agreement including the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; Amendment to Schedule "A" & "H" of the Official Community Plan; A geotechnical report which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Road dedication as required; III BACKGROUND: West Coast Projects E.J.

The building is located 17m. from the west property line with parking on the north side of the building (adjacent to Lougheed Highway) and to the east near the intersection of the Lougheed Highway and the Haney Bypass. The development will necessitate upgrading both street frontages to include sidewalks. It is recommended that the design of these sidewalks afford maximum protection and comfort to pedestrians given the sites access to crossings leading to Kanaka Creek Park and Kanaka Elementary School. These sidewalks should all be separated from traffic with a landscaped boulevard. V PLANNING ANALYSIS (1) Official Community Plan: The application for Service Commercial complies with the current OCP designation. The Service Commercial designation recognizes the site's relationship to the two adjacent traffic corridors and the physical separation from adjoining residential by site topography. Zoning: The current zoning is RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential). The requested use necessitates zoning to CS-i (Service Commercial). The development proposal is consistent with the Zoning Bylaw requirements for the CS-i zone. Final siting details will be considered with subsequent Development and Building Permit applications. Public Information Meeting: As the proposal is located on a prominent intersection, it is recommended that a Public Information Meeting be required prior to First Reading of the Zone and OCP Amending Bylaws. Development Permit: The OCP will be amended to include the proposed rezoning site into a Development Permit Area. The objectives of this area will consider the need for landscaping, screening and the siting of Servicing: Since the site is not fully serviced, it will be necessary to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement to insure the provision of required services. The site plan provided with this application is the outcome of several discussions with the Ministry of Transportation and Highways in an effort to ensure that all traffic concerns in the area are addressed. Final approval of all aspects of the site IBM plan as it pertains to access, egress, circulation and parking is required from the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. VI CONCLUSION: Based on the OCP designation, and the requirement to include the development site in a Development Permit Area, staff are confident a plan can be prepared to minimize impact on the adjacent residential uses in the area and reflect the prominence of the site.

SUBJECT: Contract No. E03-010-041 - Reservoir Construction SUMMARY: The proposed Garibaldi reservoir is an integral part of the municipal water system extension to the Garibaldi area. The project is included in the 1999 Capital Budget approved by Council in May of 1999. RECOMMENDATION: That Contract No. E03-010-041 Garibaldi Reservoir Construction be awarded to Stanco Project Ltd. and that this contract become binding on the District upon the signature of the Mayor and Municipal Clerk. BACKGROUND: The provision of a safe, clean potable municipal water system to the Galibaldi area includes the construction of a reservoir at Garibaldi Street north of 128 Avenue. This reservoir, is needed to replace an existing structure of insufficient capacity that is in poor condition. The new reservoir serves the area with water for domestic use as well as providing fire protection in accordance with current design standards and guidelines. The reservoir will also be constructed to current Building Code requirements for seismic design. Tender Analysis Request for Proposal Contract No. E03-010-041 was sent out to four known reservoir contractors on December 15, 1999. Three Proposals were received in public on January 11, 2000, as follows: Stanco Projects Ltd. $189,946.40 Western Tank & Lining Ltd. $196,220.88 Triteh I idüstries Ltd. $363,26500 All proposals are inclusive of GST.

Hogarth DATE: January 31, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: E04-03 1-002 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dev. SUBJECT: On-Site Innovative Sewage Disposal Systems SUMMARY: Dextras Engineering & Construction Ltd. (Dextras), on behalf of Bosa Development Corporation (Bosa), has requested that the District of Maple Ridge (District) adopt a bylaw to permit the use Of innovative sewage disposal systems. Specifically the intent of the proposal is to facilitate the subdivision of 6 discrete parcels into 29 lots in Whispering Falls that do not support conventional sewage disposal systems. Approval and enforcement of on-site sewage disposal is the responsibility of the Provincial Government's Ministry of Health (the Ministry). The Public Health Office (Health) will not approve innovative sewage systems for the creation of lots through subdivision. A municipal bylaw as requested would essentially download the responsibility for on site disposal regulation from the Province to the District. This includes inspection, sampling, supervision of repairs, enforcement and legal proceedings. While Dextras Engineering is concerned only with the Bosa subdivisLon, such a bylaw could affect and have implications for a sizable area of the District. Innovative sewage systems are still in their infancy in the Lower Mainland. The early feedback suggests that the majority of systems perform adequately, although Health has reported problems with some systems. On-site sewage disposal is regulated through the Provincial Sewage Disposal Regulations. The Ministry is currently in the process of revising these regulations, which fall under the Health Act. It is our understanding that the latest draft of these regulations will be reviewed by various stakeholders over the next few months. The adoption of the regulations is anticipated for later this year. It is understood that these revised regulations will bring greater clarity to the roles and responsibilities of municipal governments with respect to on-site sewage disposal. RECOMMENDATION: That the approval for all on-site sewage disposal systems continue under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Health. That Council direct staff to review the revised Provincial Sewage Regulations when available and that staff provide a report on the implications for the District of Maple Ridge. -1- O10J0 BACKGROUND: Bosa initiated the Whispering Falls subdivision, located east of 256 Street and north of 124 Avenue, in 1988. To date 106 lots have been created in this subdivision. Six discrete parcels remain. Dextras indicate the potential for 29 more lots within these six discrete parcels. There are no municipal sewers servicing the subdivision. The municipal sanitary system currently terminates at 250 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, over 3 kilometres from Whispering Falls. Each lot in the subdivision has to have an on-site sewage disposal system. There are no current plans to extend municipal sewers to this area. PROVINCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The District's Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Section 1V, Item D.4 states: "Where a Municipal sanitary sewer system is not available to serve each of the parcels in the proposed subdivision or development, each parcel must be approved by the Public Health Inspector as suitable for the installation of an on-site sewage disposal system in accordance with the Sewage Disposal Regulations and Policies of the Simon Fraser Health Unit and Ministry of Health." Under the current Sewage Disposal Regulations, Health will approve conventional on site sewage disposal systems. Health has advised that the parcels in question do not have the requisite amount of suitable native material for conventional systems. Because of the insufficient material, the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) noted that the Health Unit would not grant approval required for subdivision. Under the District's Subdivision Bylaw, the District's Approving Officer cannot approve a subdivision without approval from the Ministry of Health. Dextras has requested that the District of Maple Ridge create a separate bylaw to the Subdivision Bylaw permitting the installation of innovative sewage disposal systems. Such a bylaw would essentially make the District liable for the on-site disposal regulation. When a conventional sewage disposal field fails, or requires remediation, the Ministry of Health works directly with the homeowner to resolve the issue. Where a conventional system is failing, the Health Unit will consider the option of installing an innovative system, and in this case, no bylaw is required and Health retains the responsibility for monitoring the system. Currently, there are 8 on-site innovative sewage systems within the District that are regulated by Health. 2 Health is currently in the process of revising the provincial Sewage Disposal Regulations, which falls under the Health Act. At this juncture it is unclear whether the new regulations will impart greater or lesser responsibilities on municipalities for innovative sewer systems. The draft regulations will be circulated to various stakeholders for input over the next few months. These stakeholders include Municipalities, Industry and Health Units. It is staffs understanding that the issue will also be reviewed at the upcoming UBCM conference. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS Conventional, or Type 1, on-site sewage treatment consists of the sewage being directed to a septic tank, from where it flows by gravity to a sewage disposal field without any additional treatment. Approximately 15% of the on-site sewage disposal systems in the District are conventional, or Type 1 systems. Type 2 sewage disposal systems are similar to Type 1 systems, except that the sewage is pumped from the septic tank into the disposal field. Type 2 systems require a lesser depth of suitable soil than equivalent Type 1 systems; Innovative sewage disposal, or Type 3, systems may also use a form of septic tank, but the sewage is treated by a mechanical process to a higher standard than conventional systems before being discharged to a small disposal field. The effectiveness of a treatment system is measured by the levels of Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids in the discharge. BOD is a measure of biological and chemical changes in the receiving water. Conventional disposal systems are required to process domestic sewage effluent to levels no greater than 45 mg/i for Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) in five days, 60 mg/i for Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The standard for innovative sewage systems is higher in that they are required to treat the sewage to 10mg/i BOD, 10 mg/i TSS as well as 400 units of fecal coliform per 100 millilitres. In 1995, a number of innovative sewage systems were reviewed by Health and "approved for testing in British Columbia. In the period from late 1997 to mid-1999, Health developed "protocols" which added specificity to the design and approval of such systems. Conventional sewage systems typically have a life of approximately 25 years before requiring remediation. orreplacement... .Innovative-system1echi ology-is relat-i-veiy new with-the-majorityof the systems having been developed within the last 10 years. While the innovative sewage systems appear to function adequately, there is no long-term data for innovative systems in our coastal area. Discussions with Health Officials suggests that innovative systems require more frequent and greater maintenance than conventional systems in order to maintain their required BOD levels. 3 MUNICIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES Within the Greater Vancouver area only the Village of Anmore uses a bylaw pertaining to innovative systems to facilitate subdivision. Anmore, however does not have a municipal sanitary system and acknowledges they are accepting all the risk associated with on-site sewage disposal. The District of Pitt Meadows and the Village of Belcarra have innovative sewage system bylaws, however neither use the bylaw as a tool to facilitate subdivision. The District of Pitt Meadows is very specific that it only permits the innovative sewage bylaw on properties with agricultural zoning. Pitt Meadows has approximately 8 innovative systems in place under its bylaw. The Village of Anmore permits innovative sewage systems on existing infill lots. In each case, the bylaws are tailored for the specific needs of the municipalities, but there are some areas of responsibility that are common to each municipality in their bylaws, namely: Sampling. The municipality is required'to inspect and sample the system "as deemed necessary", and submit written reports of the findings to the Local Health Unit. Supervise Repairs. The Local Health Unit can require the municipality to supervise the property owner in carrying out maintenance or repairs to the Innovative System. Undertake Repairs. If the owner fails to carry out the necessary maintenance or repairs, the Local Health Unit may require, in writing, that the municipality have the necessary repairs carried out at the owner's expense as laid out in Section 299 of the Municipal Act. Enforcement. The municipality has a duty to enforce compliance by an owner with any order of the local Health Unit to cease discharging effluent, and notify the local Health Unit of any default in compliance. Legal Proceedings. Should the Ministry of Health decide to initiate judicial enforcement against an owner under the bylaw, then the Ministry of Health may request the municipality in writing to take such proceedings in any specific manner. Other Lower Mainland municipalities that coUld be deemed similar in composition to the District were contacted for their views on innovative systhms Other than Pitt Meadows, Anmore and Belcarra, no other municipalities in the Lower Mainland are considering such a bylaw. Health Officials have confirmed this. Taking on these responsibilities would be a significant precedent for Maple Ridge. It means that Health would not issue a permit for an innovative system unless the municipality legislates the above responsibilities upon itself through a bylaw. El Bosa Developments have indicated that the issue of liability could be addressed through bonding. While bonding provides for a measure of monetary compensation it does not guarantee that a failing system can be rectified or replaced with an alternate system. This still leaves the municipality "on the hook" for a solution to a failing system. Furthermore, it leaves the homeowner unprotected. As previously noted, Dextras is only interested in the further subdivision in the Whispering Falls area. However, the area within the District that could be affected by such a bylaw is considerable, as indicated on the attached Sketch 1. It can be anticipated that should a bylaw be adopted for Whispering Falls, even as a "test area", other potential developments will lobby aggressively for the same consideration. It is difficult to estimate the potential costs associated with administering these responsibilities. However, where the resolution to a failing system requires prolonged input, enforcement and legal fees, these costs could be significant. CONCLUSIONS From a technical perspective the use of innovative sewage systems appear to be a viable alternative for failing conventional systems. Within this region however they have been in use only since 1995 and there is no long-term data for our coastal climate. The Ministry of Health does not approve these systems to facilitate subdivision. For the proposed additional subdivision to occur in Whispering Falls the Ministry of Health requires that Maple Ridge accept responsibility for regulating on-site disposal, a Provincial responsibility under the current sewage disposal regulations. This is a significant and potentially costly precedent for the District. The current Sewage Disposal Regulations are being revised. The adoption of these new regulations according to the Ministry is scheduled for the later part of this year. It is our understanding that the revised regulations will provide greater specificity with regards to municipal responsibilities when considering innovative systems. A decision on the use of innovative systems in Maple Ridge at this time is premature, until the full implications of the revised regulations are known and comprehensively reviewed. ~iv -ok 6-3 Prepared b .Quinn PEpg.,Municipal Engineer David Pollock P.Eng., Director of Project I i ii ZI Engineering jke J.

This report is the culmination of work by student Jeff Boeckler. It summarizes the business and employment character of the community in 1999. As well, it contains an off-street parking survey for the downtown area. The report will be available to the public through the Community and Business Relations and Planning Departments. RECOMMENDATION: Submitted for information. BACKGROUND: The 1999 Business and Employment Inventory Update final report is appended. The report was undertaken as a student project and is now available to the public. This type of business inventory provides the basis for a year-to-year comparative analysis of change. The report summarizes the business and employment character of the community in the following areas: • the number of businesses by type; • business floor space by type; • classification of businesses; • floor space vacancy rates; • per capita floor space by type; • employment by type and by industry; • jobsto labour force ratios; and • the number of off-street parking spaces by type in the downtown area. 01. og - /) The report generally concludes that: • growth has been modest in the business sector, particularly in population serving businesses; • total number of all businesses has increased 19.4% since 1993; • total floor space of all businesses has increased 19.7% since 1993; • the per capita floor space calculations show Maple Ridge is low in commercial and industrial floor space compared to other GVRD communities; • the vacancy rate in terms of total floor space has climbed; • our local jobs to employed labour force ratio has improved; • there were a total of 18,363 people employed in the community, of which 48% were full time. The report has given the community a snapshot of local circumstances in the commercial and industrial sector, as well as the home based business area, and employment. In the near future, another updated inventory will be undertaken and additional, more detailed, comparisons can be made. Prepa?thjat B.

The lands subject to the latest cutting plans are within the area proposed for a "Community Forest" by the District and within the viewscape of the Alouette Lake day-use area. Attached to this memo are two maps showing the areas scheduled for harvesting and a letter from the Ministry. RECOMMENDATION: Submitted for information. BACKGROUND: Ministry of Forests staff have notified the District that several areas on Blue Mountain are scheduled for timber harvesting under the Small Business Enterprise Program (SBEP) in the 1999-2003 time frame. Staff have received a map of the Forest Development Plan that identifies three areas of significance. The first two are areas of 37 and 47 hectares in size within the viewshed of the Alouette Lake day-use area and are scheduled to be thinned and selectively harvested in 2002. The other area is a 20 hectare area on the top of Blue Mountain scheduled for harvesting in 2000. The attached maps identify the areas. The District has, in the recent past, proposed acquiring a "Community Forest" over the Crown - -lands of Forests. The District applied but was not successful in acquiring one of 8 pilot community forest tenures. However, it has been anticipated that additional "community forest" licenses will be issued once the first pilot projects were proven successful. The proposed SBEP Forest Development Plan may compromise the usefulness of a locally controlled tenure over the Blue Mountain area as the SBEP typically targets lands with the best timber on them. Staff of the Ministry have agreed to attend the February 07 Committee of the Whole meeting to present the Forest Development Plan and to answer any questions Council may have. to Prepared by: ,/J.

The Parks and Leisure Services Commission and Citizens' Advisory Committee have reviewed the report and wish to make the following recommendation. RECOMMENDATION That the recommendations outlined in the GVRD report titled "Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver: Next Steps" be endorsed and that Maple Ridge Council participate where appropriate in the business planning process for the project. BACKGROUND Some time ago, the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board established a task force made up of staff representatives from municipalities throughout the region, the intent of which was to develop a GVRD Cultural Plan. The group has undertaken considerable research over the past several years on a variety of related topics. In particular, research has been done on the level of investment by all levels of government in culture and an economic impact report has also been developed. Several stakeholder group meetings have also been held (including Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows representation) with the outcome having been the development of a number of strategies which, if implemented, will improve the situation for arts and cultural services in the region. The GVRD Board has çndorsed the attached strategies report and have requested that it be distributed to the member municipalities for input on the business planning work it outlines. The GVRD Board has allocated $100,000 for the next phase of the project which is to develop business plans leading to-implementation of the identified strategies. The report itself will provide much of the background to the recommendation. The intent of the report and the follow up business planning is to develop an action plan which will take greater advantage of the investment already being made by municipal government in the arts and culture in this region. The report also identifies the inequity of senior government funding for the arts in this region when compared to the level of support provided to other regional areas and provinces in Canada. Consequently, one of the key strategic directions outlined is that of correcting this inequity. The report further recommends that the committee prepare business plans for the implementation of the identified strategies for consideration by the GVRD Board by June of next year. -1- 0 1M4° 1 The supporting documents (previous research) are available in the Clerk's office. ,f L/'1/ Prepared by: I Mike Murray, GM: Community ment, Parks and Recreation Services •.

Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and Human Resources Development Canada for their contributions in developing the Strategies. Purpose To present Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver, the LI Phase II. report of the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee, and to recommend the next steps. Context The Greater Vancouver metropolitan area grew rapidly over the past decade, adding more than 500.000 people from diverse cultural origins to reach a total population of 2 million. This was matched by shifts in the urban region's economy to an increasing emphasis on knowledge-based industries, tourism and higher order services. Greater Vancouver's municipalities manage this growth individually and collectively through local and regional strategies. Our cultural interests are a part of and are strongly affected by these broader changes in Greater Vancouver. The sharing of arts and cultural heritage among the diverse groups in our communities increases intercultural and in tergene rational understanding, strengthens social bonds and our mutual sense of identity. Demand for access to arts and culture is increasing, and many of the new and rapidly growing economic sub-sectors require creative and cultural inputs - including cultural tourism, new media, film and television. This is strategically important in the future of Greater Vancouver due to the numerous connections between arts and culture and so many other aspects of community and regional development. Arts and culture play an important role in the economic and social vitality of our communities. In 1996 this included: • 79% attendance and participation by Greater Vancouver adult residents in arts and cultural activities, • $3 billion in direct revenues reported by arts and cultural organizations and industries, and • 65,000 people directly employed in the sector. As the Board recognized, there is potential for this sector to contribute a great deal more but that potential will not be fully realized on its own. To facilitate the coordination and cooperation needed to act on the opportunities effectively and efficiently, the GVRD Board approved a municipally-driven strategic cultural planning initiative in 1995. The Planning Process The Board established the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee, comprising staff members from the GVRD's member municipalities, with the following mandate: • to develop a plan to meet the cultural needs of Greater Vancouver, addressing issues of cultural development, cultural diversity, economic development and population growth; • to ensure an efficient and effective process of cultural development based on a regional strategic plan and through coordination of cultural planning, facility development and support programs; and • to ensure a broad range of high quality cultural services to meet the needs of both residents and visitors to the lower mainland. A major milestone in this process was the report Arts and Culture in Greater Vancouver: Contributing to the Livable Region, endorsed unanimously by the Board in 1997. This report: • summarized the research undertaken in Phase I of the planning process which revealed the economic and social importance of arts and culture in Greater Vancouver. and • indicated that the cultural sector's current contributions can be expanded to the benefit of Greater Vancouver's Communities. The attached report. Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver, is the culmination of Phase II of the planning process. This phase included further investigation of cultural funding issues and economic development opportunities to "grow" the arts and culture sector, and public consultation on issues to be addressed in the Strategies. Key milestones and findings from Phase II were: • A June 1998 public workshop identified the serious funding issues facing non-profit organizations, needs for affordable cultural facilities especially those suitable for touring across the region, and demand for better information about cultural development opportunities and activities around the region. • Research on senior government spending revealed long-standing patterns of disproportionately low levels of Federal and Provincial funding and investment in BC's cultural sector. The report, Submission to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage, revealed that Federal spending on culture in BC between 1986 and 1997 was never higher than 45% of the national average and was declining, with BC only receiving 36% of the national average in 1996-97. And the report Government of British Columbia Expenditures on Culture: 1987188 to 1996197 showed that the Province's per capita spending on arts and culture, excluding libraries, was $22.95 per capita in 1996/97, placing it eighth out of the ten provinces and $11.64 less than the average per capita invested by the rest of the provinces. The issue of senior government support is so important and urgent, the Steering Committee recommends that the GVRD Board convey the analyses of federal and provincial funding to the Minister of Canadian Heritage, and the Minister of Small Business, Tourism and Culture and invite them to participate in a collaborative process to improve the financial environment for arts and cultural development in Greater Vancouver. • A major study by PricewaterhouseCoopers involving representatives from the commercial and not-for-profit sectors concluded that there are substantial opportunities for improving the links between cultural development and economic development in Greater Vancouver. The key opportunities are in cultural tourism, film, television and new media. Also, in reviewing best practices in selected Canadian and U.S. metropolitan areas, PWC found that the most successful had adopted strategic plans and established cultural development organizations to pursue opportunities and ensure the benefits are secured. • A June 1999 public workshop, to which municipal councillors were invited, provided an opportunity to discuss cultural economic development opportunities and the draft directions and actions for the Strategies. Many Councillors attended the session and noted that - participants strongly supported the draft Strategies and called for a cultural development LI partnership in Greater Vancouver to guide their implementation. Summary of the Strategies The Strategies report recommends focusing on three key Strategic Directions: • enabling coordinated planning and development of region-serving cultural facilities and programs; • facilitating regional cultural economic development initiatives: and • improving information exchange and understanding of arts and cultural opportunities region- wide. Each Strategic Direction includes Actions that address opportunities and needs identified in the consultation and strategic planning process. Many identify community partnerships to be developed, while acknowledging the important stake that local governments and their communities have in the growth and development of the arts and culture sector in Greater Vancouver. Details of the Strategies and ActiOns can be found on pages 11-17 in Attachment A. These Strategic Directions are intended to focus on the key issues and opportunities in arts and cultural deve1opent in Greater Vancouver that are best addressed cooperatIvely at the regional level. In doing so, the Strategies would complement and enhance the initiatives of local governments and arts and cultural organizations in Greater Vancouver. The Strategies are grounded in extensive research and consultation, were developed by an inter- municipal team, and are endorsed by the Greater Vancouver Cultural Alliance, the Greater Vancouver Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Vancouver Board of Trade. For the Strategies to be realized and the benefits to be felt region-wide, the report recommends that Greater Vancouver's local governments together create an intermunicipal partnership for cultural development in Greater Vancouver. A stable partnership with the appropriate resources and skill base to build community partnerships, and to coordinate implementation is needed to ensure that the Strategies are successful. How local governments would structure and participate in the partnership is the subject of the next phase of the Steering Committee's work. Further details of how this would be developed are provided in the next section. Next Steps: Implementation Planning The next phase of work is to develop, in consultation with member municipalities and community stakeholders, implementation options and a recommended implementation plan for the Strategies. Discussions of options would be pursued through workshops and potentially a Council of Councils meeting in early 2000. In addition, the Steering Committee recommends the Board request that member municipalities and other organizations provide the Steering Committee with comments related to implementation. It is recommended that implementation options focus on the funding and organizational alternatives for delivering the Strategies, given a defined set of near-term deliverables. Based on the public consultations and research, the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee recommercds that these deliverables reflect the Actions identified as the highest priorities, as 4 follows: • Improve the financial environment for region-serving arts and culture in Greater Vancouver, to ensure their quality and sustainabiliy and provide for growth. • Develop a "Greater Vancouver Cultural Information Network" to improve the availability of information about arts and culture. • Develop and implement a cultural tourism strategy to enhance Greater Vancouver's cultural attractions, grow the cultural tourism sector, and increase regional distribution of the economic and social benefits of cultural tourism. • Review in detail the challenges and Obstacles to regional touring of performing and visual arts and heritage exhibitions, and develop a program to improve access to existing arts and cultural activity region-wide by facilitating their distribution to existing venues. In the implementation planning process, some of the organizational options for the intermunicipal cultural development partnership that would likely be investigated include: • a separate not-for-profit organization such as the Fraser Basin Council or the Greater Vancouver Economic Partnership in which local governments could be directly represented or collectively represented through the GVRD Board's participation; • a separate governmental entity such as TransLink that would have appointed or elected Board members: • a separate interrnunicipal arrangement; or • the GVRD assuming the main responsibility for facilitating the Strategies' implementation acknowledging that there would be partnerships built with other organizations throughout Greater Vancouver to effect the Strategies' implementation. Funding options that would likely be investigated include: • funding contributions from the federal and provincial governments, foundations and private sector partners on shared interests and partnered initiatives - including capital; • the GVRD cultural levy either in its current or some altered format; • a visitor or hotel surcharge as occurs in other metropolitan areas in acknowledgement of the role of arts and culture in attracting tourists; • a special assessment such as the Heritage Parkiand Acquisition Fund or the funding contribution to the Fraser Basin Council; • cost recovery on select services; • fee for service on select services; or • cornbinations.o( the above As part of this work, a review of the GVR.D cultural grants program could also be completed. This program has not yet had the benefit of a program review under the GVRD's reorganization initiatives. Members of the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee have strong experience with cultural grant programs that would be useful in such a review. The Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee believes that the success of the Strategies depends on the formation of an intermunicipal partnership for cultural development - one that has ongoing active involvement of Greater Vancouver municipalities. To ensure that the proposed partner.ship is fully supported by the municipalities, the Steering Committee proposes LI 5 to present the implementation options and Committee recommendations to the GVRD Board for referral to member municipalities. Committee Comments At its meeting on September 22, 1999, the Regional Administrative Advisory Committee passed the following resolution: "That the Regional Administrative Advisory Committee advise the GVRD Board that it supports the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee's recommendations as presented in the attached report: Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver, dated September 10, 1999." Alternatives Option 1: The Board could endorse the recommended Strategies. refer the report to member municipalities and other organizations for comment on implementation, and, request the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee to develop options for implementing the Strategies. This is the recommended alternative. Under this option, the Beard wOuld request by March, 2000, all comments related to implementing the Strategies from member municipalities and other 9ganizauons. The Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee would develop implementation options for the Board's and municipal Councils' consideration in June 2000. This course of action supports the continued involvement of the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee, an intermunicipal staff group, in developing the implemernation, options. Based on best estimates from PriceWaterhouseCoopers and previous staff experience, approximately $100,000 is needed to undertake the business planning and analysis required to develop implementation options. Some offset may be available from senior governments or other partners. Option 2: The Board could refer the Strategies to member municipalities and other organizations for their review and comment, and take no further action at this time. This option would delay the process of examining critical issues and the development of. an implementation strategy. Consultations in the planning process revealed a significant need and strong support for proceeding with a regional strategy for arts and cultural development, and with the Strategic Directions presented in the Strategies report. Members of all municipal councils in the GVRD were invited to comment on the draft strategies 'earlier this year, and elected representatives from around the region participated in the June 1999 workshop at which the draft strategies and actions were reviewed in detail. Opion 3: The Board could receive the Strategies and take no further action. This option would end the process of developing a strategy for regional arts and cultural 6 development in Greater Vancouver. The research and public consultation process has indicated that this region-wide strategy is needed to address long-standing challenges to the well-being of region-serving cultural organizations, to provide significant benefits for all of Greater Vancouver's communities, and to contribute to the growth and development of the region's economy. These benefits would be foregone under this option, as well as the potential to capitalize on other opportunities such as the 2010 Olympic Arts and Cultural Festival program, which could contribute to the realization of Greater Vancouver's vision of cultural development. Conclusion The cultural sector has the potential to be a key factor in Greater Vancouver's new economy as well as a key contributor to our quality of life, social development and community harmony. Realizing that potential relies on strategic actions that will support and enable the not-for-profit and commercial organizations in our communities to capture and capitalize on the opportunities. An intermunicipal partnership for cultural development, focusing on these strategic directions and community partnerships can create the base of resources, facilities, information and skills needed for arts and culture to flourish region-wide. The Strategies report responds to the Board's request for a plan to meet the cultural needs of Greater Vancouver. The Strategic Directions, identified through research and consultation, are focused on processes and activities that are more effectively and efficiently addressedat the regional level. They are intended to complement local government ,arts and culture initiatives, providing the region-wide support to enable their growth and development. Municipalities have been consulted at the staff and elected level in the process, along with other key organizations including arts and heritage organizations, educational institutions, cultural industries, tourism and other business organizations, and other levels of government. The recommended next step is to develop a recommended implementation plan, with views from member municipalities and other organizations integrated into its development.

Our society as well as our economy have become more diverse. The cultural sector plays an increasing role in supporting this diversity. The complex interconnections between the arts and culture and other areas of community and regional development make it a stra- tegically important sector in Greater Vancouver's future. Arts and culture defines Greater Vancouver as a community, help- ing to shape the region's unique identity that sets us apart from other metropolitan areas. They are fundamental to the quality of life enjoyed by Greater Vancouver's residents and an attractiQn for visitors. Greater Vancouver is further enriched by broad cul- tural diversity that has influenced much of the social and physical development of our neighbourhoods and communities. The shar- ing of cultural heritage in Our communities helps to strengthen our mutual sense of identity and unify our vision for the future. The cultural sector also makes a substantial contribution to Greater Vancouver's economic welL-being, supporting jobs and businesses region-wide. This rote Is Increasing In the region's new economy, which is expanding In sectors such as tourism, film and television that draw on diverse creative talent, products and Ideas. Arts and culture are already an Integral part of many of these economic sec- tors and there are significant opportunities to expand its contn- button and distribute the benefits region-wide. Key Strategies for Capturing the Potential The potential for arts and cuLture to contribute to Greater Van- couver's sociaL and economic development will not be fuLly realized on Its own, however. The need for coordination and collaborative action is demonstrated in many other successful metropolitan re- gions. They have adopted strategic plans and established cultural development Initiatives to ensure the benefits are reaLized. Today, Greater Vancouver's Local governments IndividuaLLy support the sector to varying degrees. A partnership for cultural develop- The sharing of culturaiheritage in our communities helps to strengthen our mutual sense of identity and uniJi our vision for the future Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CulturaL DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver ment is needed to coordinate key region-wide initiatives on shared objectives, and to ensure the potential rote of this sector in the region's future is realized. The GVRD Board approved a municipally-driven strategic cultural planning initiative in 1995. The Regional Cultural Plan Steering Com- mittee, comprised of staff from member municipalities, guided a comprehensive research and consultation program to develop pro- posals for addressing concerns and opportunities of region-wide significance. The Phase 1 report, Arts and Culture in Greater Vancouver: Con- tributing to the Livable Region, provided a base of data and infor - mation about the arts and culture sector. It also included a Phase 2 workptan to develop strategies to capitalize on opportunities and address challenges in the sector. The report recommendations (Appendix B) were approved unanimousLy by the GVRD Directors In November 1997. From the Phase 2 process, three Strategic Directions have emerged as the crucial areas deserving region-wide attention. They are: enabling coordinated planning and development of region- serving cultural facilities and services to meet region-wide needs and opportunities; facilitating cultural economic development initiatives to The collective ensure that the opportunities for growth In the cultural sector are fully realized as part of maintaining a healthy and diverse involvement regional economy; of Greater Vancouver's municipalities is key to the success of arts and culture at the regional level • Improving Information exchange and understanding amongst both providers of and participants In cultural activities within the region, including residents and visitors. Realizing the benefits of these Strategic Directions wilL require the participation of more than JUst the municipaL partners. The plan- ning process has identified many stakeholders in the commercial and not-for-profit arts and cultural sector, but also many commu- nity, business, senior government and other necessary partners. The consensus among all is that what is missing is a catalyst to initiate and facilitate this process. It Is agreed that this will en- able the cultural sector to realize its full potential to contribute to Greater Vancouver's social and economic development. Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver A Partnership for Cultural Development Of critical importance then are the recommended next steps which focus on taking the initiative to pursue the Strategic Directions. Greater Vancouver's municipalities all have a crucial stake in arts and cultural development, and it is appropriate that the local gov- ernments collectively participate in implementing the Strategies. In particular, there is a need to build on the cultural development partnership begun by the Steering Committee and to take actions to facilitate broader partnership processes. As Pricewaterhouse- Coopers concluded in their study on opportunities for cultural eco- nomic development: "This is not only a leadership role that Greater Vancouver's municipalities can play, but one that no other organi- zation on its own has the ability or mandate to undertake." Actions needed to achieve each Strategic Direction are set out In the report. They address shared concerns identified in the consul- tation and research process. They also identify potentiaL partnc- ships with arts and culture organizations such as the Greater Vancouver Cultural Alliance and LocaL arts councils; tourism groups such as Tourism Vancouver; business-oriented organizations such as the Greater Vancouver Economic Partnership and the Vancouver Board of Trade; and educational institutions such as SFU, UBC, Tech B.C. and the region's colleges. Next Steps Four priority Actions recommended for Initial implementation are: • Improve the financiaL environment for region-serving arts and culture In Greater Vancouver, to secure their quality and sus- tainabiLity and provide for growth. • Develop a. "Greater Vancouver Cultural information Network" to Improve the region-wide flow of Information about arts and culture. • Develop and implement a cuLturaL tourism strategy to increase, and enhance regional distribution of, the economic and social benefits of cultural tourism. • Review in detail the challenges and obstacles to regional tour- ing of performing and visual arts and heritage exhibitions, and develop a program to enhance access to existing arts and cuL- Without a region-wide voice forarts and culture, social and economic development oppo rtu n ities are being lost Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver tural activity region-wide by facilitating its distribution to ex- isting venues. These Initial priorities address some of the most pressing issues and would provide significant benefits region-wide. They build on existing strengths and focus on enabling and supporting arts and culture activities in all of Greater Vancouver's communities. Suc- cess in these areas would also provide the support needed to move forward on the other recommended Actions, ultimately Leading to a more complete program of initiatives. A key next step is for the Steering Committee to develop, in con- sultation with Greater Vancouver municipalities and community stakeholders, implementation options for the Strategies. The op- tions and the recommended implementation pLan would be presented to municipal Councils and the GVRD Board for consid- eration. PHASE 2 PROCESS. Community and Cultural Sector Consultations 1.

MDF Planning & Management Services PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP vi Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver The Need for a Regional Strategy In recent years, Greater Vancouver has changed dramatically in so- ciaL, economic and physical terms. The population has grown rapidly and become more culturally diverse. The region's economy has moved away from goods-producing industries toward information and service-based enterprises. Nationally and internationally there is growing awareness of Greater Vancouver as one of Canada's key metropolitan areas and a major centre on the Pacific Rim. Arts and culture have an important role to play in Greater Vancou- ver's future. They are fundamental to the quality of life enjoyed by Greater Vancouver's residents and admired by visitors. Arts and culture, shared across the many diverse groups in the region, help to strengthen our sense of community, enhance our neighbour- hoods and shape our unique identity. The artists, organizations, facilities, artworks and activities that comprise arts and culture also make a substantial contribution to Greater Vancouver's economic well-being, supporting jobs and busi- nesses region-wide. This contribution will be even more important as the region's new economy Increasingly focuses on tourism, high- technology1, communication, film, television, community-oriented services and other activities that draw on diverse creative talent, products and' ideas. While the arts and culture sector Is already an integral part of many sectors of the new economy, there are sig- nificant opportunities to expand its contribution and distribute the benefits region-wide But the potentiaL of the arts and cultural sector to contribute to Greater Vancouver's social, physical and economic development Is unlikely to be fully realized on its own. Arts and cultural activities in the region today suffer the effects.of many years of consist- ently low and declining levels of senior government support. The resulting instability presents a challenge in maintaining the core The arts and culture sector is an integral part of the new economy Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLtural Development in Greater Vancouver competencies and base level of activity needed to support com- munity and business needs. Arts and culture are also affected by the competition Greater Vancouver experiences from other met- ropoLitan regions such as Seattle and Portland. Many of these metropolitan areas recognize the social and economic benefits of arts and culture and have adopted strategic plans and established cultural development organizations to pursue opportunities and secure the benefits. Arts and culture's ability to contribute to Greater Vancouver's fu- ture social and economic deveLopment wiLl only be fully realized with strong leadership and support. Greater Vancouver's munici- palities have a vital roLe in this process, one that is based on cooperation and coUaboration, not only among the municipalities themselves but also in partnership with other stakehotder groups. It Is a process that cannot wait fora later time given the opportu- nities and challenges in the arts and culture sector and the rate at which the region Is growing and changing. This document presents a set of strategiei that will enhance cul- ture In Greater Vancouver and ensure that the benefits are dis- tributed region-wide. These strategies have been crafted through an extensive research and consultation process that takes into consideration the needs, Interests and resources of many stakeholders, Including Greater Vancouver's municipaLities. They focus on areas where there are the most benefits to be gained tegion-wide by working In partnership. 2 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLturaL DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver Context Defining the Arts and Culture Sector The cultural sector is referred to in a variety of ways, as "culture," "arts and culture" and "cultural heritage." Greater Vancouver's arts and culture sector Is composed of a diverse range of interrelated commercial and not-for-profit activities that include: Film Broadcasting Music Stage Performances Heritage & Museums Libraries Visual Arts Crafts Written Media Festivals Arts & Culture Education Design Photography Government Cultural Agencies * Cultural Associations * Multi-Disciplinary Activities' These activities have together heLped shape much of Greater Vancouver's social development, and have made a significant con- tribution to the regional economy. What are the Benefits? The benefits of arts and culture have been well documented through Phase 1 research by the Steering Committee, Its, consult- ants and many others. A its and culture Socia' Benefits encompasses • strengthening social cohesion and establishing common ground a broad range between generations and cultures; of commercial and • creating and preserving our culturaL heritage, which provides not.for-profit community Identity, distinctiveness and collective pride; activities • providing diversity and choice In leisure, entertainment, and celebration opportunities; • providing opportunities for personal and creative skills devel- opment, particularly by children and youth; 3 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and Cultural DeveLopment ifl Greater Vancouver providing opportunities for public involvement and support through participation, consumption and volunteerism; and assisting in the delivery of other public services, such as edu- cation, health/healing, community integration/sociaLization and crime prevention. Economic Benefits • 62,000 people directly employed full and part-time in arts and culture as of 1996, which was nearly seven percent of employ- ment in Greater Vancouver; • a further 37,000 indirect and induced jobs supported by arts and culture spehding, for atotal of 99,000 jobs, which Is about eleven percent of regional employment; • direct, indirect and induced wages and salaries of over $2.3 bilLion; and • $3.5 bilLion in direct, Indirect and induced Gross Domestic Prod- uct (value added). How do Arts and Culture Contribute to Community Development? There is an opportunity for arts and culture to make an even Larger social and economic contribution to Greater Vancouver in the fu- ture - one that will help municipalities achieve a number of their objectives, such as: developing compLete communities, including regional and mu- nicipaL town centres, that offer a variety of culturaL activities and experiences for residents and visitors and attract busi- nesses, growth and investment; • enhancing economic development, particularly in sectors such as tOurism, high technology and knowledge-based industries that are responsible for much of the employment creation in Greater Vancouver's communities; • providing a high quality of life for residents, including the groW- ing number of oLder citizens who benefit from participation in arts and culture as a form of recreation and social interaction; 99,000jobs are directly and indirectly supported by arts and culture in the region 4 Strategies for Regionat Arts and CuLturaL DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver • encouraging sociaL interaction and understanding amongst an increasingly diverse ethnic population; and creating distinctive neighbourhoods with interesting and var- led physical characteristics. Capitalizing on these opportunities requires region-wide involve- ment that transcends municipal boundaries. Cooperation and coLLaboration are needed to reaLize the benefits. A region-wide approach will also help meet the objectives of the Livable Region Strategic Plan, which states that the GVRD Board will seek through partnerships to achieve: • an equitable distribution of public social and cuLtural services and faciLities; and • development of a network of high-quality, mixed activity urban centres supported by an appropriate leveL of public transit and a range of community services and cuLtural facilities for resi- dents and employees. What are the Challenges? As Greater Vancouver's population grows, thedemand for and par- ticipation in culturaL activities is Increasing. This presents several challenges for the region and Its communities - challenges that must be met if Greater Vancouver Is to continue to meet the needs of Its residents, attract and serve Its visitors and maintain its livabil- ity. The greatest chaLlenge to the sector is financial. Governments have long recognized the social, as well as economic, benefits of acting as a catalyst in the development of cultural facilities and activi- Federal spending ties. However, increased demand for cultural services Is placing in BC on culture greater pressure on already scarce local government resources and there is a relatively low level of senior government support for arts is 36% of the and culture in Greater Vancouver. Analysis shows that: national per capita • Federal spending on culture in BC over the ten-year period up average to 1996-97 was never higher than 45% of the national per capita average and was declining, with BC only receiving 36% of the national average in 1996-97. 5 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver The Province's per capita spending on arts and culture, exclud- ing Libraries, was $22.95 in 199697, placing it eighth out of the ten provinces. • As a proportion of total budget expenditures, BC's spending on culture placed it in ninth spot.2 And the regionaL level is not keeping pace with arts and cultural investments made by many other major metropolitan regions that recognize the value of supporting culture. What can be Done? The region cannot fiLl the gap left by senior levels of government. However, Greater Vancouver's municipalities can work collectively to ensure that Greater Vancouver receives Its fair share of avail- able funding. Greater Vancouver's municipalities can also work collectively in addressing Local government's rote in arts and cut ture. GVRD municipalities support arts and culture, but programs and resources vary considerably, with little coordination. There is the opportunity to improve effectiveness and efficiency in the development and delivery of regional cultural services through in- creased coordination and cooperation among the municipalities. There Is also an opportunity to form more strategic partnerships with organizations outside of government, including in the pri- vate sector, to support and promote arts and culture. With increasing competition for public sector resources, the private sector will become a more important, and necessary, partner for The GVRD locaL government and not-for-profit cultural organizations in pur- suing common objectives, as well as In accessing Investment capital. Livable Region. StrategzcPsan As the Livable Region Strategic Plan recognizes, a critical factor in successfully building complete communities, including regional and recognizes the municipal town centres, will be to ensure that the necessary cul- needs of a growtng and diverse tural services and facilities are in place to serve the needs of a growing and diverse population. Planning now for the cultural fa- dItties and programs of strategic importance to municipalities and "o"ulatio .1' 1' . the region will help achieve this objective. It Is a process that should not be put aside for a later time given the work currently underway at the local and regional Levels in areas such as transpor- tation and land use planning, which must take Into consideration cultural needs, issues and opportunities. 6 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver The document offers a vision and strategies for reaLizing municipal and regional objectives and addressing the issues and challenges facing arts and culture in Greater Vancouver. The proposed strate- gic directions and actions provide a framework for support of the activities of region-serving cultural organizations in our communi- ties. Some of the actions will be undertaken by the private sector, some by the not-for-profit sector, some by Local or other levels of government, and some in partnership. The intent of the frame- work is to help coordinate a complex and evolving web of activities in arts and culture that have strategic, region-wide importance. - - 7 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLturaL DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver Planning Process: Research and Consultation The GVRD Board approved this strategic cultural planning initia- tive in 1995 in recognition of arts and culture's importance to the region's social and economic deveLopment. A Steering Committee, composed of staff from member municipalities, was appointed with a mandate to develop strategies to meet the cultural needs of Greater Vancouver. The strategies are intended to guide the on- going process of cultural development towards providing a broad range of high quality culturaL services to meet the needs of both residents and visitors. This report, Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver, is the cuLmination of an extensive research and consultation process undertaken by the Steering Commitèe to determine how the cultural sector can fully contribute to Greater Vancouver's sociaL and economic development in the coming dec- ades. This work was undertaken in two phases. Phase 1 of the work program was compLeted in 1997 and included: • a complete inventory of municipal arts and culture activities and facilities, which found a broad range of resources, but lit- tle coordination in how they are used or deLivered;3 • a survey of participation in cultural activities by Greater Van- couver residents, which found 79% of GVRD residents attend or participate In cultural activities;4 • a survey of cultural programs and Initiatives In selected major metropolitan regions of North America viewed as Leaders In arts and cuLture, which found that the most successful provide sig- nificant support In recognition of the benefits received;5 and • an economic impact study of Greater Vancouver's arts and cul- ture sector, incLuding both not-for-profit and commercial activities, which demonstrated the substantiaL contribution of cuLture to the regional economy.' The results of this Phase 1 work, along with recommendations for a Phase 2 work program, were presented to the GVRD Board in June The Phase 1 report was unanimously endorsed by the GYRD Board 9 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CulturaL Development in Greater Vancouver There is a strong desire to cooperate and collaborate in pursuing the opportunities to enhance arts and culture 1997 in Arts & Culture in Greater Vancouver: Contributing to the Livable Region - The Interim Report of the Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee (see Appendix B for the report's Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations). The Board unanimously endorsed the Phase 1 report and directed the Steering Committee to begin work on Phase 2, incLuding prepa- ration of proposaLs to address: • sustaining and enhancing the significant social and economic benefits of arts and culturaL activity throughout the region; • gaps in regional services and faciLities; • Intermunicipal coordination of policies and Investments to achieve efficiencies and synergies in cultural activities; and • improved social and financiaL investments in arts and culture. As part of the Phase 2 process, the Steering Committee held two stakeholder workshops. The first workshop, attended by approxi- mately 80 artists and organizational representatives in June 1998, identified the major issues facing arts and culture in Greater Van- couver, incLuding facility and service gaps. The resuLts of this workshop are summarized in Stakeholder In put on Issues Related to the Development of a Cultural Plan for Greater Vancouver, Feb- ruary 1999. A second workshop held in June 1999 sought stakeholder Input on proposed strategic directions and culturaL economic development opportunities in Greater Vancouver. It was attended by over 100 organizational, senior government, and Industry representatives as well as elected officials. The results of this workshop are sum- marized in Stakeholder Input on CulturalStrategic Plan Directions and Cultural Economic Development Opportunities, June 1999. The key message from both workshops is that there is a strong desire among stakehoLders to cooperate and coLlaborate In pursu- ing the opportunities to enhance arts and culture In Greater Vancouver and address common issues and chaLlenges. There is also consensus that Greater Vancouver's municipalities, working to- gether, have an Important leadership role to play in bringing the stakeholders together and ensuring that the benefits are spread across the region. - - - 10 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Phase 2 work included an evaluation of the opportunities for, arts and culture to contribute to Greater Vancouver's future economic development. Interviews were conducted by Kirk & Co. Consulting with 16 individuals representing some of the major commercial cultural sector stakeholder organizations in the region to gain their input on commercial sector needs and opportunities. These inter- views revealed the need for: better product development and marketing; more investment and funding to support growth, in. cluding access to venture capital; improved exchange of informa- tion and ideas; more strategic partnerships to pursue opportunities; and improved business skills and planning. This information was used by PricewaterhouseCoopers to examine economic development opportunities and strategies for the region's cultural sector.1 This study concluded that there is a substantial opportunity for the arts and culture sector to contribute much more than it currently does to Greater Vancouver's economy, par- ticularly in tourism, film, television and high technology, but thata proactive approach is needed to fulLy realize these opportunities. Given that other metropolitan areas are investing in arts and cut- ture as part of their economic development strategies (e.g., establishing organizations that facilitate the connections and as- sist in bringing cultural products forward), Pricewaterhouse Coopers recommended that Greater Vancouver's municipalities become the catalyst for arts and cultural development In Greater Vancouver. In Phase 2, the Steering Committee also analyzed Federal and Pro- vincial Government spending on arts and culture in BC, which, as Research indicates discussed earlier in this document, were found to be much lower a substantial than the national averages. opportunity for the The findings of the Phase 2 work indicate a very high level of arts and culture stakeholder support for a regional strategy for arts and culture and a strong wiltingness-.among-many-organ•t-zations toworktogether as sector to partners in the process. The work also found that the cultural sec- contribute to tor has a significant contribution to make in the region's future economic deveLopment, but that a coordinated and cooperative Greater approach is required to fulLy realize the potential. Facilitating cot- Vancouver's laborative partnerships Is not only a Leadership rote that Greater Vancouver's municipalities together can play, but also one that no growing economy other organization on its own has the ability or mandate to under- take. 11 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Phase 2 Process Community and Cultural Sector Consultations 4, Principles 4, Vision 4, 25 Recommended Actions 4, Strategic Directions • Enabling coordinated planning and development of region-serving cuLturaL facilities and services • Facilitating cultural economic devetàpment Initiatives • Improving information exchange and understanding 4, Implementation Plan based on 4 Priority Actions • Improve the financial environment for region-serving arts and cuLtural organizations, in Greater Vancouver • Develop a "Greater Vancouver Cultural information Network • Develop and implement a culturaL tourism strategy • Review in detail the challenges and obstacles to regional touring of performing and visual arts and heritage exhibitions, and develop a program to enhance access to existing arts and cultural activity region-wide 12 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CulturaL Development in Greater Vancouver Vision and Principles The foUowing vision and principles were developed in consultation with the community, and guide the Strategic Directions. Vision "A Partnership in Cultural Development" The Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development form the foundation for a cultural development partnership in Greater Vancouver. The Strategies enable Greater Vancouver's culturally rich and diverse communities to address common issues and capi- talize on opportunities by providing a coordinating framework for region-wide action. The Strategies: • support and enhance the creation, development and distriSu- tion of arts and culture, and • increase public understanding of, access to and participation in arts and culture in the region. Principles The Strategies are based on the fundamental principle that region- wide arts and culture strategies are complementary to the existing arts and cultural Initiatives of local governments. They focus on areas where there are benefits to be gained by jointly pursuing opportunities and addressing shared concerns. The strategies are The key principLes of the Strategies are that they wILL be: - - 'complementary to - • focused on the future whiLe building on existing strengths; the existing arts • developed and Implemented through cooperative processes; and cultural initiatives oflocal • developed in consultation with affected groups and the public; governments • flexible enough to respond to the evolving arts and cultural environment; 13 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cuttural Development in Greater Vancouver • developed to maximize the benefits of - and access to - arts and culture for both individuals and the broader community; • directed to increase the collective efficiency and effective- ness of investments in arts and culture; and • a framework of shared Information to enhance decision-mak- ing related to arts and culture in Greater . Vancouver. The Strategies are intended to enabLe, support and enhance the creation, development, distribution and benefits of arts and cul- tural activities within the region. 14 Strategies for Regional ArtS and CulturaL Development In Greater Vancouver Strategic Directions Based on the vision and principles, three Strategic Directions are proposed that will add the most value to the cultural, social and economic development objectives of Greater Vancouver's munici- palities: enabling coordinated planning and development of region- serving cultural facilities and services to meet region-wide needs and opportunities; • facilitating cultural economic development initiatives to ensure that the opportunities for growth in the culturaL sector are fuLly realized as part of maintaining a healthy and diverse regional economy; and • improving information exchange and understanding amongst both providers of and participants In cultural activities within the region, including residents and visitors. Underpinning these Strategic Directions Is a further recommenda- tion that Greater Vancouver's municipalities together take a pro-active role in implementing key Actions and take the initia- tive in facilitating Implementation of the Strategies. At present, there Is no organization responsible for facilitating overall regional arts and cultural development In Greater Vancouver. Without such leadership, the benefits of the Strategtes will not be realized. These Strategic Directions were reviewed by stakeholders at the June 1999 workshop. There Is a strong consensus that these are the right directions for arts and culture region-wide, with other opportunities more appropriately addressed by local plans or organi- zations. The rationaLe for each of the Strategic Directions and the recom- mended Actions folLow. The Actions do not ImpLy that Greater Vancouver's municipalities should, or want to assume responsibil- ity or control for activities or initiatives currently undertaken by other organizations. Nor do they imply that Greater Vancouver's municipalities would necessarily be Involved in each Action. How- ever, there may be some activities that are best undertaken through coordinated intermunicipal initiatives. Three strategic directions have been selected that will add the most value region-wide 15 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver STRATEGIC DIRECTION ONE • Enabling Coordinated Planning and Development of Region-Serving Cultural Facilities and Services Coordinated planning and development of cultural facilities and pro- grams are critical in an environment where there is increasing competition for scarce resources and strong public expectations that available resources wilt be used effectively and efficiently. There are examples of neighbouring communities investing in simi- lar facilities that compete with each other for the same limited building capital, corporate partners, audiences and revenues. There is also the risk of resources being wasted on "white elephants" and underutitized facilities while arts and cultural organizations continue to struggle to secure appropriate facilities and needed support. Clearly, this benefits neither the cultural organizations nor municipalities. Coordinated planning and development of region-serving facilities and programs related to arts and culture will Identify region-wide needs, gaps and opportunities and develop ways of addressing them while respecting local aspirations. This pLanning and development can be targeted to particular facilities or programs such as Larger facilities that serve more than one municipality. Or it couLd be tim- ited to particular coLlective needs that have been identified such as a network of suitable, affordable venues that can be used by touring companies and exhibits. The concept can also be extended to shared funding of regIon-serving facilities and services. Coordinated planning is a likely precursor to forming a new strate- gIc partnership with senior levels of government In supporting arts Coordinated and culture in Greater Vancouver. It demonstrates wise use of to- cat resources and the ability to work cooperatively in arts and planning will cultural deveLopment. Similarly, more support and invoLvement from ensure effective the private sector in the development of cultural facilities and serv- Ices is only LikeLy to come If planning decisions are based on a solid and efficient use business case that considers the broader market and competitive of resources environment. To be successful, coordinated planning relies on a shared Informa- tion base and understanding of needs and opportunities, and an ongoing collaborative process for addressing common issues. 16 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Actions That the Greater Vancouver municipalities together: In partnership with community and private sector supporters, business and tourism interests, Local and senior governments, improve the financial environment for region-serving arts and culture in Greater Vancouver, to secure their quality and sus- tainabitity and provide for growth. In partnership with Local arts and cultural organizations, pro- ducers, venues, and municipal cultural agencies and institu- tions, review in detaiL the challenges and obstacles to regional touring of performing and visual arts and heritage exhibitions, and develop a program to enhance access to existing arts and cultural activities region-wide by facilitating their distribution to existing venues. • Review broad funding opportunities from alt sectors and areas, public and private, to support the development of cultural fa- cilities and services of strategic importance to the region. Develop, in consultation with stakehotders, the community, the private sector and senior government partners, an initiative to secure and enhance the capacity of existing region-serving arts and cultural organizations with a view to building on current strengths to better serve the social and economic interests of the region as a whole. • Undertake, in consuLtation with the Greater Vancouver CuLtural ALliance, community arts councils and other organizations, an arts and cultural needs analysis for Greater Vancouver focusing on region-serving arts and heritage Institutions, including fa- cilities, and both current and potential regional touring activity. Coordition at the local level is needed to gain more support from senior governments Develop a Joint research, Information and data gathering capa- bility together with an intermunicipal cultural Information sharing network to meet the needs of region-wide initiatives, and to keep alL LocaL municipalities equally current on cuLtural planning data, information, programs and policy. Establish an ongoing process for coordination of cuLturaL planning initiatives across the region. 17 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development In Greater Vancouver • Review, in partnership with appropriate GVRD committees and community representatives, existing funding support program policies and practices, as well as funding Levels, with the ob- jective of developing the most effective region-wide cultural development tool and ensuring fair and consistent application of policy through an open and transparent process. • Identify research and information priorities for region-wide ini- tiatives. • Update and maintain an Inventory of cultural programs, serv- ices and facilities. • In consultation with community partners, consider developing the capacity for matching "seed" funding for local Initiatives with the potential to become region-serving. • Address the need for smaller, affordable cultural venues through-- out the region by working with comminity partners and other organizations to identify and overcome current barriers. 18 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and Cultural Development In Greater Vancouver STRATEGIC DIRECTION TWO Facilitating Cultural Economic Development Initiatives Greater Vancouver's emergence as a major metropolitan region is due to a combination of factors, one of the most important being its attractiveness as a Location for investment and businesses in sectors of the economy experiencing strong growth. The sectors include tourism, high technology, film and teLevision, community- oriented products and services, transportation and communication/ utilities. This is where Greater Vancouver's greatest potential for economic growth Lies, but there are no guarantees that the growth will oc- cur. Many other regions of North America and the worLd have targeted these same economic development opportunities and the competition is fierce to secure a share of the growth. A proactive, coordinated approach is required to pursue the opportunities and ensure the region remains attractive for investment, businesses and skilled workers. Greater Vancouver's arts and cuLture sector has an important rote to pLay in this process. The fiLm and television industry serves as a prime exampLe of how success can be achieved with a strategic focus. Already large, the industry has significant potential for even more growth, with as many as 2,400 to 3,300 new jobs created each year in the region if current growth rates continue. There Is, however, heavy competi- tion for this opportunity from other regions and an environment supportive of the Industry is needed to ensure the potentiaL Is realized. The cultural sector is also a criticaL component in helping other economic sectors achieve their potential. Cultural tourism Is one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism Industry. It can make a significant contribution to the estimated 1,700 to 2,500 new jobs expected to be created each year by the region's tour- ism Industry If current growth rates continue. Effective marketing of existing cuLtural products In the region and development of new products Is needed for Greater Vancouver to Increase Its share of the cultural tourism market. This is an opportunity where the cul- turaL and tourism sectors can benefit from each other. A rts and culture can play a major role in the knowledge-based and creative sectors that drive much of the region's emerging new economy 19 StrategfeS for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Cultural tourism is one of the fastest growing segments of the tourism industry High technology, another rapidly growing area of the regional economy, includes new media which is defined as interactive ap- plications that combine moving pictures and/or sound with graphics or text (e.g., video games, CD ROMs, e-mail, electronic commerce and Internet services). This is an emerging area of opportunity that blends the creative skiLls of arts and culture with high technology. It is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Canadian economy and Greater Vancouver is well positioned to take a major share of this growth. New media could double in size in the region to as many as 3,600 empLoyees within the next two years alone. The creative services sector, .which incLudes activities such as film and video, new media, graphic design, software, public relations and advertising, is another opportunity that blurs the line between artistic endeavours and other areas of the economy. By helping businesses in these sectors work together on initiatives such as product deveLopment and markettng, there is significant potential to tap into new markets and position Greater Vancouver as a cen- tre of excellence in the creative services freld, attracting business and investment from elsewhere. Actions That the Greater Vancouver municipalities together: • In partnership with Tourism Vancouver and the Greater Van- couver Cultural Alliance, municipal tourism organizations, arts and cultural organizations and business organizations, develop and implement a cultural tourism strategy to increase, and en- hance region-wide distribution of, the economic and social benefits of cultural tourism. • Work with tourism and culturaL organizations to develop a com- prehensive analysis of the cultural tourism market, Including needs, product inventory and product packaging requirements. In partnership with Tourism Vancouver and the Greater Van- cower Cultural AlLiance's Product Club, identify cultural tourism products with region-wide potentiaL that can be brought to the market In the short-term. Work with tourism and culturaL partners to prepare plans to complete the product develop- ment process. 20 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver • In partnership with tourism and cultural organizations, enhance the coordinated marketing of culturaL products throughout the region, including in the not-for-profit sector. Develop a mar- keting plan and work with tour operators to ensure its delivery. Identify strategic investments in region-serving facilities and activities that will also contribute to economic development objectives, particuLarly in the area of cultural tourism. Under- take a review of region-wide needs, develop investment pri- orities, timing and funding sources, including access to private capitaL, and secure partnership and investment commitments.

Determine industry needs and ensure that municipaL land use and other regulations facilitate the sector's ability to grow. Work with Greater Vancouver's creative service providers (e.g., film, advertising, new media) on the concept of positioning and promoting creative services as a distinct business sector and cooperatively pursuing market opportunities, particularLy international. Determine industry support for the concept and develop a comprehensive strategy If there is sufficient sup- port and commitment to partnerships. There is significant potential to position Greater Vancouver as a centre of excellence in the creative services field, attracting business and investment 21 Strategies for Regionat Arts and Cutturat DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver STRATEGIC DIRECTION THREE • Improving Information Exchange and Understanding Greater Vancouver's arts and culture sector is widely dispersed geo- graphically and has a broad range of organizations and businesses invoLved as producers, suppliers and consumers. Residents and or- ganizations have considerable difficulty in accessing up-to-date and comprehensive information on what is happening, available re- sources and potential partners. This Leads to duplication of effort, gaps in service and missed opportunities. Many members of the arts and culture community, including those involved in both not-for-profit and commercial organizations, con- sider this as a major problem in the sector, They need improved access to information that will help them do a better job of man- aging and marketing what they do. SimiLarly, many visitors to Greater Vancouver have difficulty access- ing information on the full range of arts and culture activities and attractions available region-wide, especially in some of the smaUer communities and those further from the major centres of tourist activity. More effective communications with visitors and poten- tial tourists throughout Greater Vancouver was Identified as an opportunity needing further deveLopment. U7ith information comes Another Identified need is to Improve the general understanding of the social and economic contribution that arts and culture makes to our communities and the region overall. With information comes participation and understanding and appreciation, participation and support that extends region-wide and across all segments of society.

There Is a strong desire to access the Information society and resources that will allow them to do this. Ideas and knowledge are key Ingredients in the cultural sector, as well as of growing Importance to many of the sectors that are driv- ing Greater Vancouver's new economy. Improving the availability 22 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLturaL DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver of information about arts and culture programs through region-wide networks will allow a much smoother exchange of ideas that are so crucial to a vibrant artistic and cultural community. The synergy that can be achieved in combining information from across the re- gion will not happen on its own. Knitting together the pieces requires coordination among many parties, including the munici- palities. Actions That the Greater Vancouver municipalities together: Develop, in partnership with cuLtural organizations, community arts councils, and other organizations, a "Greater Vancouver Cultural Information Network" to improve the fLow of informa- tion about arts and culture to arts organizations, consumers, schools, businesses, training institutions and Local governments region-wide. Employ a variety of mechanisms, such as a website with hotlinks complemented by a faxnet and fax-back service, a monthly calendar of arts events throughout Greater VancoCi- ver, a directory of culturaL services available in the region, and a region-wide facilities inventory. • Identify, In consultation with the Greater Vancouver CulturaL ALliance, community arts councils and other organizations, the information and data needs of public and private sector cul- tural organizations throughout the region. • Ensure that appropriate multicultural Information is available to serve the needs of both Greater Vancouver's diverse ethnic population and atsovisitors interested In the region's muLticultural history and attractions. • Work with the Greater Vancouver Economic Partnership and other busine.ss-orientedorganizations-to Identify their cultural information needs and coordinate the process to ensure effec- tive and efficient communication of such information. • With cuLtural and business organizations and post-secondary educationaL institutions, such as Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, Tech BC, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, and regionaL colleges, foster development of a resource centre for arts and cuLture that provides expertise and advice on business and strategic planning, market1ng, or- &eativity, ideas and knowledge are the key drivers of Greater Vancouver's new economy 23 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cutturat DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver ganization and finance to enhance the performance of cultural organizations. • Encourage the Ministry of Education and SchooL Districts In Greater Vancouver to strengthen arts and culture educational programs, including making students aware of career opportu- nities. Develop curriculum materials that support this initiative and highlight the characteristics, benefits and opportunities in Greater Vancouver's arts and culture sector. 24 Strategies for Reg$onal ArtS and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Taking the Initiative Collectively setting a course of action to realize mutual goats is seen as a key priority by many stakeholders. Currently there is no overall leadership or voice for arts and culture in Greater Vancou- ver, and opportunities that depend upon such leadership are lost. For example, a coordinated approach to representing Greater Van- couver's arts and culture interests in discussions with senior gov- ernments would be more effective than ad hoc communications by individual local governments and other organizations. The surveys undertaken for the Steering Committee of other met- ropolitan regions of North America viewed as leaders in arts and culture - such as San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, MontreaL and Chicago - found that all make substantial investments in cultucal initiatives because of the recognized sociaL and economic benefits. All have a cultural development agency addressing their metropoli- tan needs, as well as one or more agencies that deal with economic deveLopment. For aLL to benefit, all communities need to be involved, along with groups and organizations from both the public and private sectors. Across disciplines, sectors, generations, communities and munici- pal boundaries, there Is a collective force and voice which will enhance arts and culture's contribution to Greater Vancouver's social and economic development. Just as local government Is cen- tral to creation and deLivery of the individuaL municipal vision, the collective voice of Greater Vancouver's municipalities Is key to suc- cess at the regionaL Level. Next Steps' It Is therefore recommended that Greater Vancouver's municipali- ties form a cultural development partnership to deliver the Strategies. The partnership wouLd faciLitate coLlaborative commu- nity partnerships, initiate action on intermunicipal cultural interests and work with senior governments on region-wide cul- tural issues. The first step is to: Request the Steering Committee to develop, in consultation with member municipalities and community stakehoLders, an The collective force and voice of Greater Vancouver's municipalities is key to the success of arts and culture at the regional level 25 Strategies for Regional Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver implementation plan to formalize the partnership and initiate the actions recommended in this report, giving due considera- tion to the needs for: being inclusive in facititatmg the Strategies' implementa- tion by convening key community partners in each of the priority issue areas to develop strong coordinated action plans.

In addition, it Is recommended that Greater Vancouver's munici- palities develop a new reLationship with senior Levels of government to Improve the financial environment for arts and culture in Greater The four Vancouver. This could be accomplished by bringing the Federal Level of cultural Investment and support up to the national average, In- key actions creasing the level of Provincial support, and other initiatives. There recommendedfor are also opportunities to partner on cultural development initia- tives on a coordinated and strategic basis. The Steering Committee would provide the staff support for this initiative. implementation The Steering Committee recommends that the Implementation plan offer the most be structured to address what Is required to progress with four immediate benefits recommended Actions considered to be the highest priorities within region-wide the three Strategic Directions. The Committee believes the fol- towing Actions will address the issues which are most urgent, will enhance the benefits most broadly, and will maximize the region- wide participation: 26 Strategies for Regional ArtS and CuLtural Development in Greater Vancouver • In partnership with community and private sector supporters, business and tourism interests, local and senior governments, improve the financial environment for region-serving arts and cultural organizations in Greater Vancouver, to secure their quality and sustainability and provide for growth. • In partnership with the Greater Vancouver Cultural Alliance, local Arts Councils and others, develop a "Greater Vancouver Cul- turaL Information Network" to improve the exchange of information about arts and culture to arts organizations, con- sumers, schools, businesses, training institutions and Local governments region-wide. • In partnership with Tourism Vancouver and the Greater Van- couver CulturaL Alliance, municipal tourism organizations, arts and cultural organizations and business organizations, develop and implement a cultural tourism strategy to increase, and en- hance region-wide distribution of, the economic and social benefits of cultural tourism. • In partnership with Local arts and cuLtural organizations, producers, venues, and municipal cuLtural agencies and insti- tutions, review in detail the challenges and obstacles to regional touring of performing and visual arts and heritage exhibitions, and develop a program to enhance access to existing arts and cultural activities region-wide by facilitating their distribution to existing venues. 27 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CulturaL Development in Greater Vancouver Conclusion Arts and culture defines Greater Vancouver as a community, help- ing shape the region's unique identity that sets us apart from other metropolitan areas. It is fundamental to the quality of Life enjoyed by Greater Vancouver's residents and admired by visitors. Arts and culture also makes a substantial contribution to Greater Vancou- ver's economic welt-being, supporting jobs and businesses region- wide. This rote will be even more important in the region's new economy, much of which is based on activities that draw on di- verse creative talent, products and ideas. White there are opportunities, there are also challenges that de- mand new approaches to how resources are secured and used In developing and providing culturaL facilities and services reg1on-wid. There is fierce competition for Greater Vancouver's economic development opportunities from other metropolitan regions such as Seattle and Portland that recognize the social and economic benefits of arts and culture. These regions, have adopted strategic plans and established culturaL development organizations to pur- sue opportunities and secure the benefits. The time is now right to move forward with Implementing the Strat- egies. There is strong stakehotder consensus on the need for a region-wide initiative and the recommended Directions and Ac- tions. There Is also a demonstrated desire to work together as partners In the process. The Strategies will compLement the exist- ing culturaL Initiatives and objectives of Greater Vancouver's municipalities, contributing to complete communities throughout the region. The next step is to develop implementation options for the organizationaL structure and funding needed to sustain a partnershlp.for culturaL deveLopment and achieve the Strategies. The opportunities, benefits and challenges are known. The miss- ing piece Is a catalyst in moving the cultural sector forward In realizing its full potential to contribute to the region's develop- ment. This Is not only a rote that Greater Vancouver's municipalities can play, but one that no other organization on its own has the ability or mandate to undertake. 29 Strategies for Regional Arts and CuLtural Development in Greater Vancouver Appendix A DEFINITIONS OF ARTS AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES Written Media Publishing, printing, wholesale and retaiL sates of books, newspa- pers, magazines and other reading matter Film Film and video production, distribution, whoLesaling and retaiL sales Motion picture theatres Broadcasting Radio and teLevision broadcasting and cable television Music Industry Musicians and singers Sound recording Production and wholesaLe of musical instruments, sheet music and recordings Retail sates of records, tapes and CD's Stage Performances Production, promotion and performing In Live theatrical Or other staged entertainment Activities such as booking, advertising, ticket sates, costume and set design Heritage, Museums nature parks, historic sites, heritage conseation ar- eas, built heritage, archives, aquariums, zoos, haLLs of fame, galleries, exhibition centres, botanical gardens Libraries Public, school, college and university Libraries Visual Arts - Sculpting, drawing, painting, engraving 30 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLtural Development in Greater Vancouver Crafts.

The supporting research materials are extensive and will provide a wealth of information to guide and inform future discussions and policy recommendations. Key findings of Phase 1 include: • Arts and cultural activities are important to Greater Vancou- ver's residents - more than 79% reported attending or partici- pating. • Arts and culture provide significant social benefits contribut- ing to the Livability of the region. • The arts and culture sector is a significant and growing con- tributor to the economic diversity and vitaLity of the region, generating $3 bilLion In direct revenues and employing more than 65,000 people or 7% of the region's totaL employment. • Public investment In the arts and culture sector represents good value to all Levels of government with the investment being returnedieveral foldTh...economic and-social-benefits. • Investment in the non-profit sector sustains the pool of taLent and creative environment necessary to attract and maintain commercial cultural enterprises. • While Greater Vancouver municipalities support arts and cu( ture, collectively allocating $22 miLlion to cultural programs and infrastructure, programs and resources vary considerably from municipality to. municipality, with little coordination. 32 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and CuLtural DeveLopment in Greater Vancouver • compared to other metropolitan areas and regions, the GVRD has a very low profile in support of arts and culture. • Other comparable communities demonstrate that there is a measurable increase in local and regional benefits from strate- gic public expenditures on culture, partnerships with senior levels of government and the private sector, and through bet- ter coordination of the commitments from local government. Summary of Key Recommendations The Regional Cultural Plan Steering Committee therefore recom- mends: • THAT the GVRD receive the progress report on Phase 1 of the Regional Cultural PLan Steering Committee and refer thc report to GVRD municipalities for their information. • THAT the next phase in the process to develop a regional stra- tegic plan for arts and culture proceed in order to achieve the following objectives: • identify gaps in regional service and facilities and recom- mend solutions and processes leading to action plans involving a partnership of municipalities, regional govern- ment, other levels of government and the private sector; • develop and propose ways and means for the region's mu- nicipaLities collectively to shape the Infrastructure and support base for regional cultural activities and organiza- tions in Greater Vancouver, to sustain and enhance the significant sociaL and economic benefits throughout the region; • propose a framework for the region to work with, senior governments, the arts and cultural community and other partners to ensure appropriate Investment in and support to regional non-profit cultural organizations and cultural industries; and • develop proposals for achieving the regional cultural objec- tives and supporting member municipalities in the coordination of cultural policies and investments to maxi- mize their efficiency and effectiveness. 33 Strategies for RegionaL Arts and Cultural Development in Greater Vancouver Endnotes Appendix A contains a definition of each of the arts and cul- ture subsectors.

Hogarth DATE: January 18, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W - Corn Dev & Rec SUBJECT: Terms of Reference - Communities in Bloom Committee SUMMARY The attached draft terms of reference are forwarded for Council's comments in advance of a review by the individuals who are serving on the Communities in Bloom Committee. Councillor Morse and the Committee Chair, Johanne Laforce, have indicated their support for the draft document. RECOMMENDATION That the draft terms of reference for the Communities in Bloom Committee be endorsed, noting that further adjustments may be required following review by the Communities in Bloom volunteers. BACKGROUND Council will be aware that a group of volunteers have been working with District representatives on the Communities in Bloom initiative for several years. The intention of the attached document is to formalize the operating structure of the group as a Committee of Council. This Committee is not functioning in the same fashion as other Council committees in that it is not primarily an advisory committee. Rather, the Committee coordinates a community beautification initiative on behalf of the District. That is not to say that the group might not provide advice to Council but that its primary activities are to carry out a work program by coordinating the efforts of several volunteer groups and agencies such as the Parks and Facilities Services. The attached terms of reference are different than those for Council advisory committees in that they do not indicate a requirement for Council to appoint the Committee members. Since the Committee is largely made up of group representatives, it is felt appropriate that those groups would have the authority to appoint their own representatives. The four at large Committee positions are anticipated to vary from year to year depending upon the Committee's work program and it is, therefore, felt that such appointments shuld be left to the discretion of the remainder of the Committee. For advisory committees, the only point of member accountability is through the appointment process. The accountability of the Communities in Bloom Committee is similar to that of other groups functioning within the terms of a fee for service agreement. Each year the Committee is required to present an annual work program and a follow-up annual report. The work program will be restricted to those things which can be accomplished within the limitations of budgets established by Council. If at any time Council does not feel the a group is needed or that the group is not functioning effectively, Council could decide at its discretion to disband the Committee and not fund the Committee work program. Since the Committee is intended to coordinate the activities of many other organizations in a Distrkt initiative, it is not felt to be appropriate at this time to establish a separate Communities in Bloom Society. That may be an alternative the group would explore in future. Councillor Morse and the recently elected Committee Chair, Johanne Laforce, have reviewed the draft terms of reference and have indicated their agreement with the document's contents. However, the overall Committee has not had the opportunity to do so and, consequently, there may be further adjustments requested. Having said this it was not felt to be appropriate to go further with the discussion without Council's direction. If Council is in agreement that the draft terms of reference are generally acceptable, they will then be forwarded to the Committee for final comment prior to being brought forward for adoption by Council.

CARRIED p 1 4. Delegations Mr. Brian Steven, Canadian Coastguard re: Proposed Universal Shoreline Speed Restrictions - Mr. Murray explained that when the proposal for universal shoreline speed restrictions was first discussed by the Commission, a number of questions arose which precipitated inviting representation from the Canadian Coast Guard to answer these queries. Mr. Murray introduced Mr. Brian Steven and Mr. Paul James from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canadian Coast Guard. Mr. Steven then outlined the various components of the proposal, noting that the restriction is in place in four other Canadian provinces. He advised that channels less than 100 meters in width would be exempt from the restriction although if there is a problem on a particular waterway, it does not stop the regional district or council from applying for a restriction on it. He added that until November of last year, the Ministry was in charge of restrictions on waterways but it is now under the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard. He said that it is hoped that by next stunnier, the restrictions will be in effect. From mail outs sent out in July, Mr. Steven indicated that there was strong support for the restriction although some legitimate concerns were voiced. These concerns have resulted in four or five further exemptions being reviewed at this time, i.e. fishing vessels net fishing, aboriginal fishers, long coastal transits, etc. Councillor Stewart asked if this restriction would apply on lakes as well. Mr. Steven replied in the affirmative, noting that a general margin of safety was a considefation. He added that they are not trying to target any particular users but that boating safety was the prime reason for the restriction. He noted that many letters have been received by the department with the majority being of a positive nature. On looking at how to carry out consultations, Mr. Steven said that local governments were felt to be the best representatives of the community who then go into the community to explain the restriction more ftiIly. Mr. Kyle Dion re: Promotion of Skateboarding and in-Line Skating - Mr. Murray introduced Mr. Kyle Dion, representative of the Ridge Meadows Skateboard Committee and Mr. Tony Cotroneo, Youth Services Worker, to the group. Mr. Dion distributed a brochure to those in attendance, explaining that the Committee is committed to promoting skateboarding and inline skating and wants to see skateboarding recognized as a sport in the upcoming master plan study. Mr. Murray said that the master plan details will include this issue. Mr. Dion then gave an overview of his experience in the skateboarding field. He noted that there are 33 skateboard parks being built between Whistler and Hope and that skateboarding is now the fastest growing sport for individuals who range from 5- 30 years of age and that a local facility to accommodate all styles and levels is necessary. Given the size of the area required to accommodate a proper facility, Mr. Dion said that the Fairgrounds would be an ideal location, particularly if public transit to the site is improved. He advised the interested skaters would arrange for their own transportation whereas those individuals who just want to hang around would not do that. He went on to say that skateboarding experiences the lowest injury rate of all sports. Councillor King asked if there were any female skateboarders. Mr. Dion replied that during this past summer, the "Women in Action" program had approximately 20 female participants. Mt. Dion asked what would happen following his presentation. Mr. Murray said that additional time would need to be spent looking at sites as well as holding a community consultation before any commitments can be made. 5.
