1.4 DELEGATION(S) 1.4.1 Columbia Basin Trust (CBT)- Annual Report Johnny Strilaeff, CEO

Johnny Strilaeff, CEO, thanked the Board for their support of CBT Board member, Director Binks, who has been a mentor to new members of the CBT Board and who has been newly elected to the CBT Executive Committee.

Mr. Strilaeff gave a presentation of the 2016/2017 highlights, the strategic priorities for 2016-2020, current and new programs within CBT, and future initiatives. Mr. Strilaeff highlighted the $59 million in revenue that delivered $51.5 million in benefits to the region. He indicated this year was the largest dollar value in CBT history with $39 million in grants and programs, $2.5 million invested in capital infrastructure (Broadband), and $10 million in new business loans for local businesses and real estate investments.

Mr. Strilaeff reviewed the 2016-2020 strategic priorities and how CBT is working to achieve these goals. He identified the new programs that have been launched and how CBT has given careful thought to the design of the programs and meeting the objectives set. He discussed the partnership with BC Housing and the commitment from both CBT and BC Housing to contribute $14 million each towards 225 new units to address affordable housing issues. He indicated CBT has other initiatives, outside of the BC Housing partnership, to address affordable housing and how they have provided 198 units with energy retrofit upgrades within five communities. He addressed the rural federal project that will provide broadband for 12,000 rural households. He indicated the project is very complex and broadband is a very competitive market but CBT’s focus is on rural areas within the region where there would be no broadband if there wasn’t assistance. He indicated there is a significant need for new child care facilities and improvements. CBT has committed to a three-year program to maintain and create new spaces for child care. The first intake of capital grants saw 100 new child care spaces and improvements to 41 facilities. CBT also offers training funds for early childhood educators, and a program advisor to support child care providers and work with the sector to find solutions for business challenges. Mr. Strilaeff discussed the funding available under the Built Heritage grants to rehabilitate existing heritage assets. The first intakes there were nine projects

1.4.2 Kootenay Conservation Program Juliet Craig, Program Manager

Juliet Craig gave a presentation providing an update of the Kootenay Conservation Program and the distribution of Kootenay Lake Local Conservation Funds.

The Kootenay Conservation Program (KCP) was established in 2014. The program coordinates and facilitates conservation efforts on private land, and to generate the support and resources needed to maintain this effort.

Ms. Craig discussed the objectives of the Kootenay Lake Local Conservation Fund (KLLCF); the conservation of aquatic systems, water systems, wildlife and habitat as well as the protection of our quality of life based on local values and priorities. In 2016-2017 there have been ten projects supported and over $108,000 granted by the RDCK. The funding benefits projects of conservation in rural areas around Kootenay Lake, specifically in Areas A, D and E. The local investment has leveraged twice that amount in external grants and $81,000 in in-kind support. The 2018 projects are being reviewed and funding will be received in spring.

There has been interested from other regional districts in the program and KCP is exploring the opportunities to expand the funds to other areas of the RDCK and into the Regional District of East Kootenay. Ms. Craig identified the five steps that need to be considered during this process such as the feasibility research, public opinion polling, coalition building, working with local governments and campaigning. The KCP would like to hold a local government forum in 2018 to help educate other regional districts of the benefits of KLLCF and determine interest.

After the presentation, Ms. Craig addressed the Board's questions.

Vice Chair Chernoff presented Ms. Craig with an RDCK pin and pen at 9:43 a.m.

Re: British Columbia Utilities Commission – An Inquiry into the Regulation of Electric Vehicle Charging Service – Establishment of regulatory timetable and preliminary scope

By Order G-10-18 dated January 12, 2018, the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) has established an inquiry into the regulation of electric vehicle (EV) charging service (Inquiry).

In 2012, the Commission issued a Report on the Inquiry into the Offering of Products and Services in Alternative Energy Solutions and Other New Initiatives (AES Report)1 for regulated public utilities who provide products and services outside traditional utility activities. Principles were established in that inquiry in which the Commission would only regulate where necessary, and regulation should not impede competitive markets. The Commission intends to adopt these key principles in this Inquiry.

Community Input Sessions

The Commission intends to hold a series of Community Input Sessions in British Columbia to hear comments on the issues raised in the Inquiry. Dates and locations of these Community Input Sessions will be further established by the Commission.

Community Input Sessions are an opportunity for the public to speak directly to the Panel for the Inquiry. The Panel can effectively gather public input for consideration on the matters that are within the scope of this Inquiry. Making a submission at a Community Input Session is equivalent to providing a written submission; however, only oral submissions will be received at the Community Input Sessions.

Members of the public who wish to make written submissions in the form of a Letter of Comment, can do so online at www.bcuc.com.

British Columbia Utilities Commission Inquiry into the Regulation of Electric Vehicle Charging Service

PRELMINARY SCOPE OF THE INQUIRY

On January 12, 2018, the British Columbia Utilities Commission (Commission) has established an Inquiry into the regulation of electric vehicle (EV) charging service (Inquiry). The rate design and rates for EV charging, including the services provided by EV charging stations, are currently in an early development stage in BC and other entities may emerge over time to provide EV charging service. The Inquiry will explore the potential regulatory issues, including the level of regulation necessary in the EV charging stations market, the rates for EV charging service, and any other matters that should be considered by the Commission.

In order to proceed with the Inquiry, the Commission has identified the following preliminary scope as follows:

Scope A: Basis for regulation

1. Do EV charging stations operate in a competitive environment in BC or are they a natural monopoly service?

2. Are the customers of EV charging stations captive or do they have a choice?

3. Should the Commission regulate the services provided by EV charging stations? What are benefits and detriments to such regulation?

Scope B: Rate design and rate setting

4. Should the rate design of EV charging stations be established under a public utility’s traditional cost of service model or some other model? And within that context, what are the customer pricing options (e.g. energy-based rate vs. time-based rate)?

5. Should the EV charging station service rate be based on a public utility’s existing wholesale or commercial retail rate or some other rate?

6. Should public utilities include EV charging stations in their regulated rate base or through a separate non-regulated entity?

7. If public utilities provide EV charging services within their regulated business, is there a risk of cross subsidization from other rate classes to support this new service and if so, is the proposed rate design potentially unduly discriminatory?

Other matters

8. Any other matters that may assist in the effective and efficient review of the Inquiry.

Date of Report: February 2, 2018 Date & Type of Meeting: February 15, 2018 Author: Kristin Aasen, Planner Subject: LAND USEAMENDMENT-STODDART File: 09\4600\20\2017\Z1704F-06624.500-STODDART-BA000012

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is for the Board to consider an amendment to the Electoral Area F Official Community Plan Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw No. 1675 for the property at 1022 Highway 3A in Nelson. The proposal would bring the 4-plex into zoning compliance. A Public Hearing was held on January 18, 2018, so no new information may be considered by the Board. SECTION 2: BACKGROUND /ANALYSIS

Owners: Murray Ellas, Daniel Gare, Mike Gerun, Lua Gerun, Douglas Stoddart, Sharon Stoddart Electoral Area: F Address: 1022 Highway 3A, Nelson, BC Current OCP designation: Country Residential (R2) Current Zoning: Country Residential (R2) Proposed OCP: High Density Residential (HR) Proposed Zoning: Multi-Unit Residential (R6)

127 Land Use Amendment Z1702F - Stoddart - February 15, 2018 Page 2

2.1 BACKGROUND/ SITE CONTEXT This proposal would rezone a 0.689 acre (0.278 hectare) parcel to bring a non-conforming 4-plex into compliance with the Zoning Bylaw No. 1675 and the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2214. Located on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake approximately 1 mile east of Nelson, the property is currently zoned Country Residential, which permits one dwelling unit for every 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of land. The proposal would amend the zone to Multi-Unit Residential (R6) and the land use designation to High Density Residential (HR), which permits one multi-family dwelling unit for every 300 square meters of land when serviced by a Community Water System and Community Wastewater System. Some application history:

• The 4-plex predates the creation of the Regional District. • 24 neighbouring property owners and tenants within 300 meters of the parcel were informed of the proposal by way of a letter circulated in September 2017 and again prior to the public hearing. • The proposal was referred to the Interior Health Authority, Ministry of Transportation, Ministry of Environment, RDCK Building Department, affected First Nations and School District No. 8. • On November 15, the Rural Affairs Committee reviewed the proposal, and on November 16, the Board gave 1st and 2 reading and advanced to a public hearing Bylaw No. 2574 (OCP amendment) and Bylaw No. 2575 (Zoning amendment) - see Attachments A & B. • A Public Hearing was held on January 18, 2018 - see the minutes in Attachment C.

SECTION 3: DETAILED ANALYSIS a. Financial Considerations - Cost and Resource Allocations: Included in Financial Plan: D YES S NO Financial Plan Amendment: D YES Debt Bylaw Required: D YES S NO Public/Gov't Approvals req'd: D YES The $1800 application fee was paid in accordance with the Planning Procedures and Fees Bylaw No.2457. b. Legislative Considerations (Applicable Policies and/or Bylaws): This application was processed in accordance with the Planning Procedures and Fees Bylaw No. 2547, 2015. c. Environmental Considerations: Impacts associated with a new septic field, groundwater well and paving of the parking area are expected. d. Social Considerations: Some neighbouring property owners expressed concerns with the proposal, and do not wish to see the property developed to the full 9-unit potential of the proposed zone. e. Economic Considerations: None anticipated. f. Communication Considerations: The applicants will be notified of the Board decision. g. Staffing/Departmental Work Plan Considerations: Should the Board provide 3 reading, the applicants would follow up with a strata title application. h. Board Strategic Plan/Priorities Considerations:

None. SECTION 4: OPTIONS & PROS / CONS This application would bring a non-conforming 4-plex into OCP and zoning compliance on a 0.689 acre (0.278 hectare) property at 1-mile on the North Shore of Kootenay Lake. The applicants wish to strata title the building into four units to simplify ownership, which is currently shared between six individuals. A strata proposal would be brought to the Regional District Board, as local governments are the Approving

128 Land Use Amendment Z1702F - Stoddart - February 15, 2018 Page 3

Authority for subdivision of previously occupied buildings. Outstanding issues raised at the Public Hearing and through the Official Community Plan (OCP) policy analysis for Board consideration are as follows:

1. Septic disposal - OCP Policies 11.3.1,11.3.3.a and 16.3.9 direct that the Board should examine sewage disposal capacity. The applicant provided preliminary information regarding the current system and proposal for a Type 3 system to safely dispose of septic waste. Interior Health Authority cited concerns that the Board should not adopt any bylaw amendments until such servicing is in place.

2. Potable water - Policies 11.3.3.a and 11.5.2 directs that the Board will assess the proposal in accordance with provision of community water. The applicants propose to drill a well and install servicing to community water system standard under the Drinking Water Protection Act. The strata corporation would be responsible for maintaining and operating the water system.

Neighbours cited concerns that a new well may restrict redevelopment of septic systems on their properties, given the required 100 meter setback between wells and septic fields. The applicant agreed to assist neighbouring property owners to determine distance between the proposed wells and adjacent parcels.

3. Affordable housing - Several policies encourage the provision of affordable or community care housing when considering high density residential designations. Staff previously recommended a covenant be placed on the title of the property requiring that redevelopment incorporate an affordable housing component should the density be increased to six units or more. Staff has observed greater community support for a limit on the overall density, rather than higher density with affordable units.

4. Rural character - Policy 11.3.3.e addresses compatibility with adjacent land uses and designations, and how the form and character of the development should enhance the rural area. The proposal maybe described as maintaining the rural character, as the use has been underway for many decades. A covenant restricting further development may provide certainty for the neighbourhood.

5. Drainage - several policies encourage stormwater management for existing and new development, natural drainage, on-site management of runoff and protecting lakes as part of surface drainage systems.

6. Parking- under the Zoning Bylaw, parking and manoeuvring aisles in all Multi-Unit Residential zones must be surfaced with asphalt or concrete pavement, be adequately provided with lighting and drainage facilities and have access to and from highways. The current parking area is gravelled and spaces are not formally designated. The layout enables vehicles to pull through without backing onto public roadways. However, the Ministry of Transportation requires a highway access permit.

7. Energy efficiency - the building was renovated several years ago in accordance with the 2009 BC Building Code. Further energy efficiency upgrades may be required in order to meet current Code requirements. Under the Strata Property Act, the approving authority must not approve the strata plan unless the building substantially complies with the BC Building Code (among other considerations).

8. Natural environment - Policies 9.4.13 and 11.3.3c address the impacts of development on important habitat and riparian areas and encourage the minimizing of site disturbance. The 4-plex is sited over 50 meters from natural boundary of Kootenay Lake. The Board should note however, that there are no riparian protection bylaws for this area of Kootenay Lake should later shoreline modifications occur.

129 Land Use Amendment Z1702F - Stoddart - February 15, 2018 Page 4

Pros: • With the installation of community water and septic servicing, the proposed would meet the minimum lot size in the Multi-Unit Residential (R6) zone. • The use has been underway on the parcel for several decades and 'grand-parentecf' by Provincial legislation ('non-conforming use'). • The proposal would increase density nearby to the community services and urban amenities in the City of Nelson. • Concerns expressed by neighbours were largely regarding the potential for expanded re- development.

Cons: • The applicants have not confirmed that the small lot will be able to accommodate community level servicing standards on the parcel. The Zoning Bylaw definition of a COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEM is a system ofwaterworks approved under the Drinking Water Protection Act, which is owned, operated, and maintained by the Regional District, and Improvement District or Utility operating under the jurisdiction of the Province. In order to meet the governance part of the definition, the applicants will be required to complete the strata title subdivision. • A Type 3 septic disposal system requires regular engineering maintenance and oversight. There is some risk to lake water quality given that there is no requirement for any professional accreditation for governance by a strata corporation. • One neighbouring property owner was generally opposed to the proposal.

Option 1: Proceed with 3 reading Staff recommendation is to proceed with 3 reading of the amending bylaws (please refer to Attachments A and B). Staff further recommend that the Board consider adoption subject to the applicant demonstrating the following:

• establishment of the strata corporation responsible for the management of the community water and community waste water systems; • the installation of community-level servicing for water and septic disposal on the parcel to the satisfaction of the Interior Health Authority; • the parking area surfaced with asphalt or concrete and the associated drainage system retrofitted with oil-water separators; • a covenant be placed on the title of the property restricting redevelopment to four units; and • a Highway Access Permit issued by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

Staff further recommend that the applicants be provided one year to complete the requirements. Staff would report back to the Board after one year.

Option 2: Proceed with no conditions The Board may wish to proceed with adoption of the amending bylaws as proposed.

Option 3: Proceed no further The Board may wish to take additional precaution with respect to the very small size of the lot as sufficient grounds to deny the application.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY PUBLIC HEARING MINUTES AMENDMENT BYLAW Nos. 2574 and 2575

A Public Hearing for Bylaw No. 2574, a proposed amendment to Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2214, 2011 and Bylaw No. 2575, a proposed amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 1675, 2004, was held on January 18, 2018 at 6 p.m. at the North Shore Hall in Nelson, BC. The Hearing commenced at 6:02 p.m. There were four (4) members of the public in attendance in addition to five (5) of the applicants or property owners and their agent, Peter Muirhead.

PRESENT

Tom Newell, Chair of Public Hearing Kristin Aasen, Planner Meeri Durand, Planning Manager

CALL TO ORDER and INTRODUCTIONS - 6:02 p.m.

Director Newell called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m., reading the Notes to the Chair.

OVERVIEW OF PROPOSAL- 6:07 p.m.

Planner Kristin Aasen gave an overview of the proposal including a summary of the history and use of the existing four-plex and the intent of the application to allow for potential strata title of the four units. She also presented the potential build out of the property under the proposed zoningamendmentofup to nine (9) units, contingent of the availability of servicing and options for the community and applicant with regard to ensuring that any additional development be restricted by a covenant if there was sufficient concern.

PRESENTATION BY APPLICANT- 6:13 p.m.

The applicant's agent, Peter Muirhead, made a brief presentation and overview building on staff's earlier presentation.

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS - 6:14 p.m.

The public asked questions which were answered by the Chair, Director Tom Newell, Planner Kristin Aasen and the agent, Peter Muirhead.

Questions and concerns are summarized as follows:

Q-In the presentation it was suggested that the amendments would allow for a potential of nine units? A-Yes, if the servicing was available and capable of sustaining additional units. A range of considerations could be provided to the RDCK Board.

136 Public Hearing Minutes Proposed Amendment Bylaws No.2574 and No.2575 January 18, 2018-Page 2

Q- How could we further define the four units? I was alarmed at the potential of nine units on such a small property. A - The applicants are looking to resolve the existing situation and there is no interest at this time in expanding the use. They would be willing to restrict future development with a covenant. Q-If sold, would the new owners have to go through the same process if they wished to expand the use? A-The expectation is that the Strata Agreement would limit expansion of future development on the property, but a covenant could be used to reduce future development potential. Q, - There are two other property owners that use the same access. Would this shared access be impacted by this proposal? A - No, the shared access is currently protected under an easement and that would not change - there may be opportunity for a maintenance agreement to address snow removal. Q,- Do we know where the water and septic servicing is? A - Yes, the servicing was assessed at the time of application by a Registered On-site Waste Practitioner and a Professional Engineer. Q- Is the property a cooperative? A - It is jointly owned with individual names on the Title, but there is no legal mechanism for the owners to sell a percentage of their ownership currently. Q-When did this become High Density Residential? A-The High Density Residential is the Official Community Plan designation and the Multi-Family is the zoning designation (staff and agent provide clarification on the differences between the two). The High Density designation in the OCP is a broad policy direction and does not drive the development on the property. It is not a regulatory - whereas the zoning is. Q-Is this driven by one of the owners wanting to sell?

A-Not at this time.

Q-The building is supposed to be over 100 years old but when I look at it, it does not appear to be that old? A - When it was purchased, new siding was installed on the entire building, and a new roof installed. Individual owners have completed some interior renovations. Q-Was ownership as it is now-or was it a speculative purchase? Director interjected that questions remain with regard to the amendment proposal and that matters that fall outside of that be held for following the Public Hearing. Q-So you would have four strata units owned in the same percentage of ownership as there is now? Are they all of equal size or value? A-No

Q-The well has to be 100 feet from any surrounding septic fields-if I need to replace mine in the future and move it, will I be restricted in where I could relocate it? A - The requirements were considered and there is latitude now with the various types of septic systems. Q.-Could one of the owners walk us through the location of services? (other adjacent owner iterates same concerns). Q-Would the new water system have the potential to expand and include additional property owners? A - There is possibility, but it would be difficult, as it would bring in additional regulatory requirements.

FORMAL SUBMISSIONS FOR OR AGAINST PROPOSED BYLAWS NO. 2574 and 2575 - 6:35 p.m.

WRITTEN FORMAL SUBMISSION was received prior to the Public Hearing and is attached and forms part of these minutes. This submission was read by the Chair and provided in the information package available to participants.

Adjacent Property Owner Letter Attached (Attachment 1)

VERBAL FORMAL SUBMISSION received during the Public Hearing:

Adjacent Property Owner I understand and empathize with the owners with their inability to sell their units, but I am very concerned about seeing high density residential in this proposal and the potential for increased traffic over the bridge. That type of development belongs in the municipality. I am adamantly against seeing the bylaw go to high density residential in the area. I do not want to see eight to nine units on a small parcel. I think it would change the community in a negative way and that putting additional population on the property would not be a good thing. I am sympathetic to the owners but do not want to see radical change in the area.A nearby property applied for the same thing several years ago and it was shut down by the community. I am concerned over a precedent being set. High density does not belong in the area. It belongs in a municipality.

ADJOURNMENT OF PUBLIC HEARING - 6:43 p.m.

Director Newell read the Closing Remarks and the Public Hearing was adjourned at 6:43 p.m.
