“We’re taking the steps slowly to solve each problem,” he said. “We are at the frontline of that. For me, as a user on the methadone program, I see a lot of self-loathing in the drug- using community, people who are lost. The OPS is there to provide an anchor for even just the simplest things, which can give people peace of mind.”

From: Megan Cole Sent: February 10, 2020 7:05 PM To: Dave Formosa
Dear Mayor Formosa and members of the Powell River City Council,
I'm writing to ask that the City of Powell River make a resolution to stand in Solidarity with Wet'suwet'en. The City of Victoria recently passed a resolution to stand behind Wet'suwet'en who are asking that the Federal and Provincial governments uphold the Supreme Court's Delgamuukw decision that Wet'suwet'en have the legal title and rights to their land.
This landmark Supreme Court decision establishes that Wet’suwet’en peoples have “Aboriginal title” to their collective 22,000 km² territories. Despite the court decision and the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples, Coastal GasLink, the BC and federal governments, and the RCMP are ignoring that title by building, permitting and defending the pipeline.
The RCMP raids and continued disrespect by the federal and provincial government also violates the United Nations Declaration Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which the province of BC passed into law last year.
In Powell River, we live on that traditional land of Tla'amin Nation. But every day, when we say we live in Powell River, we often forget that the city has been named after Israel Wood Powell, the man who is responsible for the Indian Act which has and continues to do damage to indigenous people in Canada. I can only imagine the affect that has on the members of Tla'amin Nation who have to be reminded of the lasting and continued impact of colonialism.
The City of Powell River has a responsibility to lead and take a stand by showing that we don't just acknowledge the importance of reconciliation but are actively working towards repairing the damage done to the Tla'amin people and all the indigenous people in Canada.
I ask that the City of Powell River stand with the City of Victoria and pass a resolution: Declaration of Solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en stating that the the City of Powell River calls on the Governments of British Columbia and Canada to end the forced removal of Wet’suwet’en People from their traditional territories and end of coercive force against Wet’suwet’en People seeking to prevent the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline through non-violent methods.
Respectfully,
Megan Cole Writer and Journalist

REPORT
File No. 3060-20-0241 DATE OF MEETING: February 18, 2020
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Thomas Knight, Director of Planning Services
SUBJECT: Development Permit 241 – Proposal to Construct Phase I of a Mixed-Use Aviation Park
RECOMMENDATION: THAT Development Permit 241 to facilitate construction of a mixed-use aviation park, legally described as Block C & D District Lot 5117 Group 1 New Westminster be issued subject to the following conditions:
a) Submission of a storm water management plan to the satisfaction of the Manager of Engineering Services; b) Submission of a detailed landscape plan to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning Services; and, c) Receipt of a security deposit to ensure that the approved landscape works are completed.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER’S COMMENTS: I concur with the recommendation.
Russell Brewer, CAO
ORIGIN/PURPOSE: To obtain Council approval for a development permit to facilitate construction of the first phase of a mixed-use aviation park.
BACKGROUND: The City has received an application to consider development of the first phase of a multiple- phased aviation park located on the City’s airport lease lands immediately east of the existing airport terminal. Overall, the leased area under consideration measures 4.65 hectares (11.49 acres) and is legally described as Block C & D District Lot 5117 Group 1 New Westminster District.
Page 27 of 65 Development Permit 241 2 of 5 February 18, 2020
______
Committee members may recall that in October 2018, Council approved a tax revitalization exemption bylaw subsequent to accepting the applicant’s offer of $600,000 for a 99-year lease for the subject properties in July 2018. The exemption bylaw outlines that the amount of taxes to be paid is to increase each year by ten percent until fully payable in the eleventh year. The appraised (taxation) value is applied to both the assessed land value and all new buildings and structures constructed through this phased development.
Attached to this report as Appendices A and B are a locator map and orthographic image that illustrate the properties under this development permit application.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Consideration to issue a Development Permit for a mixed-use aviation park falls outside the City's 2020 - 2022 Strategic Plan and Priorities and is considered part of the general planning service provided by the City.
EXISTING POLICY: The subject properties are currently designated: Employment Centre and applies to the airport and lands along Duncan Street in Westview and several large as yet undeveloped sites in Cranberry Lake, Townsite and Wildwood. As identified in the City of Powell River Sustainable Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2370, 2014, (SOCP), the intent of this designation is to accommodate employment generating uses including airport and airport-related services, business park, wholesaling, warehouse, call centre, restaurant, building and garden supplies, utilities and public works, service industry, light industry and light manufacturing uses. The proposed multiple-phased aviation park clearly meets with the intent of this designation.
Within the City of Powell River Zoning Bylaw 2100, 2006 (the Zoning Bylaw), the subject property is zoned M2 Airport and Service Industrial. The M2 Zone is intended to accommodate a comprehensive range of industrial, airport and airport related industrial uses. The proposed multiple-phased aviation park therefore meets with the intent of this zone.
As the proposed project is industrial, the properties are subject to the guidelines of Development Permit Area (DPA) #7: Employment Centres. The intent of this DPA is to provide guidelines for the form and character of industrial or commercial development where applicable. As provided, the guidelines are fairly generic and provide Planning Services staff with limited guidance to properly assess a development proposal of this scale. Accordingly, DPA #7 is one of the DPA area guidelines within the SOCP that staff have identified to upgrade.
The objectives of DPA #7 are to:
(a) Achieve good quality development for new employment generating uses in Powell River;
(b) Provide for business park use;
(c) Minimize any negative impacts of industrial development upon adjacent commercial, rural and residential lands;
(d) Upgrade the external appearance of industrial development along Duncan Street corridor; and,
Page 28 of 65 Development Permit 241 3 of 5 February 18, 2020
______
(e) Optimize the ambient environmental quality in Powell River.
ANALYSIS AND IMPACT: Project Overview The proposal represents the first phase of a four phased development to construct a mixed-use aviation park located on the City’s airport lease lands immediately east of the existing airport terminal. Members are advised that the scope of this Development Permit application is limited to the first phase of this multiple-phased development which consists of a conference centre and separate hangar. All subsequent phases of this project will require submission of new applications.
For the conference centre, the applicant is proposing a two-story mixed-use building that will include a meeting hall, lounge and offices. For the hangar, the intent is to create an area to facilitate maintenance and storage of commuter planes up to forty passengers
To facilitate a review of this proposal, a draft Development Permit 241 is attached to this report as Appendix C. Included are the schedules that contain the perspectives and elevations that illustrate the applicant’s intent with respect to the siting and orientation of the buildings, building design, view impact and landscaping. Based on these drawings, staff have provided the following evaluation of the project in terms of how it adheres to the guidelines of DPA 7.
Siting and Orientation of Building The existing shape of the airport lease lands is oriented in a northwest orientation that directly parallels the existing runway. Although rectangular is shape, the width of the properties are at their narrowest along the west perimeter of the properties and almost three times as wide along their east perimeter.
The proposed location of the conference centre is on the western portion of the properties immediately adjacent to the existing airport terminal building. Moving eastward along the southern perimeter of the site, the applicant intends to locate the second of the two buildings, the hangar. The orientation of the conference centre is to be to both the north (facing Duncan Street as the main entrance) and south (facing the runway). The hangar building is to be directly oriented to the runway.
All access and parking stalls are to be located along the north perimeter of the properties. A service road is planned to be constructed in phases between the proposed development and adjacent mobile home park. This will assist in increasing the separation between the airport operations and those residents who live east of the conference centre/hangar buildings.
Building Design and Roof Lines For an area surrounded by a variety of buildings with limited to no aesthetic design considerations, the proposed architectural renderings prepared by Andrew Cheung Architects Inc. provide a design that is both inviting and inspirational. The applicant could have gone with a more austere (and cheaper) design found in many airport terminals throughout British Columbia. Instead, the design of the conference centre provides for both a “sense of arrival” and statement on how the City is transitioning from a one industry town. Construction of the conference centre building in glass will also allow the City to have two attractive entry points – one at the airport, the other being the Wharfinger Building next to the BC Ferries terminal.
Page 29 of 65 Development Permit 241 4 of 5 February 18, 2020
______
While the proposed hangar building provides for a standard rectangular massing, the roofline for the conference centre is proposed to be a series of inverted V-shape that will provide a modern articulation to this building. It is assumed that this configuration - as opposed to the typical flat roof, has been designed in consideration of the higher amount of rainfall received on the West Coast.
View Impact Based on the location of the airport lease lands from Duncan Street, the proposed development poses no view impact to adjacent properties. As previously noted, the design provides for a service road to be constructed in phases between the proposed development and adjacent mobile home park. This will assist in reducing any negative impacts to those residents who live further east of the conference centre/hangar buildings.
Exterior Materials As noted previously, the main exterior cladding material for the conference centre building will be predominately glass (window mullions) for the north, south and west elevations (facing towards Duncan Street) while the east elevation (facing towards the hangar) will be entirely metal cladding. In contrast to the conference centre, the proposed hangar will consist entirely of metal cladding. Members may refer to DP 241 (J through L) for more details on the range of materials and colours to be used.
Landscaping The landscape plan provides a design that for the most part is utilitarian with minimal planting provided. Landscaping is limited to the periphery of the building site where parking is to be located. While effective landscape design provides for a “massing” that help to create a physical break between service roads and buildings, very little is provided in the plan tendered other than lawn and two Himalayan birch. For a project of this magnitude and one of that is to feature a conference centre, more consideration of how to incorporate landscaping into the built design is encouraged,
It is suggested that prior to final execution of Development Permit 241, that the applicant provide an enhanced landscape plan to the satisfaction of the Director of Planning Services to clarify the concerns noted above.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The overall financial impact of the proposed four-phased mixed-use aviation park could be significant. Although taxation revenue to the City will be limited in the first few years due to the approved revitalization tax exemption bylaw, the potential benefit of a number of new jobs for this development could led to a multiplier effect on the local economy. This increase – particularly for highly skilled technical jobs, is expected once the subsequent phases consisting of aircraft maintenance facilities and supporting offices are completed.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ENGAGEMENT: The staff report attached to the Committee of the Whole agenda will be available to the public and posted on the City’s website. There is no legal requirement for a formal public notification process as no variances are required with regards to this application.

REPORT
File No. 5830-20-0010 DATE OF MEETING: February 18, 2020
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Anastasia Lukyanova, Sustainability Planner
SUBJECT: Request to Approve BC Hydro Contribution towards the Community Energy Managers Network Group Project
RECOMMENDATION: That Council approve the $45,000 contribution from BC Hydro to cover the consultant fees associated with the Community Energy Managers network group project and include this expense in the 2020 Financial Plan. CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER’S COMMENTS: I concur with the recommendation. Russell Brewer, CAO
ORIGIN/PURPOSE: To allow the Sustainability Planner to complete the BC Hydro Community Energy Managers network group project funded 100% by BC Hydro.
BACKGROUND: The Sustainability Planner is part of BC Hydro’s network of Community Energy Managers made up of sustainability staff from municipalities across the Province working to advance climate change mitigation.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Working towards reducing community greenhouse gas emissions aligns with all four strategic priorities: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation, Community Health, Economic Resiliency, and Progressive Governance.
EXISTING POLICY: The City’s Integrated Community Sustainability Plan (ICSP) includes the following related strategy areas: Our Land, Neighborhoods, and Homes; Our Transportation and Infrastructure; and Our Environment.
The City’s Sustainable Official Community Plan (SOCP) sets emission reduction targets for community emissions.
Page 47 of 65 BC Hydro Contribution to CEM Project 2 of 2 February 18, 2020 ______
ANALYSIS AND IMPACT: As part of the BC Hydro Community Energy Manager network activities, the Sustainability Planner is working with a group of other municipal sustainability staff on a group project.
The goal of this project is to research possible enabling opt-in regulations the Province could implement to allow municipalities in BC to take deeper action on climate change. Specifically, this project will investigate possible opt-in regulations to allow municipalities to reduce community building emissions (e.g. solar ready homes, homes not heated by fossil fuels, etc.). An example of an existing opt-in regulation is the BC Energy Step Code, which is part of the BC Building Code and can be voluntarily adopted by municipalities.
The group includes Community Energy Managers from the City of Victoria, City of Port Moody, and the Capital Regional District. The project work will be done by a consultant. Minimal time is required from the Sustainability Planner to provide input to the consultant. BC Hydro provides funding to cover 100% of the consultant’s fees. This project will not affect the City’s current agreement with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) to fund 80% of the Sustainability Planner’s work program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact of this project as the work is fully funded by BC Hydro.
COMMUNICATIONS AND ENGAGEMENT: Staff will update Council and the public on the outcomes of this project after its completion.
OPTIONS:
1. That Council approve the $45,000 contribution from BC Hydro to cover the consultant fees associated with the Community Energy Managers network group project work and include this expense in the 2020 financial plan; or
2. That Council provide staff with alternative direction.
Respectfully submitted,
Anastasia Lukyanova, CEM Sustainability Planner

RECOMMENDATION: That staff be directed to give notice of Public Hearing in accordance with section 94 of the Community Charter of Council’s intention to consider Cannabis Retail Store 005 for the property legally described as Unit 102 of Lot A District Lot 5121 Plan 17207.
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER’S COMMENTS: I concur with the recommendation.
Russell Brewer, CAO
ORIGIN/PURPOSE: To consider a Cannabis Retail Store application.
BACKGROUND: The subject property, 102-7010 Duncan Street, is legally described as Unit 102 of Lot A District Lot 5121 Plan 17207. The applicant, 1172524 B.C. Ltd. (dba Sun Coast Cannabis Shoppe), seeks a Council Resolution supporting their Cannabis Retail Store application as part of their Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) application for a non-medical cannabis retail store licence.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY: Consideration to issue a Cannabis Retail Store Licence aligns with the “Economic Resiliency” Strategic Corporate Priority.
EXISTING POLICY: City of Powell River Sustainable Official Community Plan Bylaw 2370, 2014 assigns the subject property the “Uptown Mixed Use” land use designation. In City of Powell River Zoning Bylaw 2100, 2006, the subject property is zoned as “C1: General Commercial Use”.
Cannabis retail store applications are guided by Council Policy 196, attached as Appendix A.
Page 49 of 65 CAN 005 – 102-7010 Duncan Street 2 of 3 February 18, 2020
ANALYSIS AND IMPACT: The applicant intends to locate a cannabis retail store at 102-7010 Duncan Street. A locator map illustrating the subject property is attached to this report as Appendix B.
The subject property is zoned C1: General Commercial Use, which permits one cannabis retail store use per lot. The location of the store meets zoning requirements, such as being located at least 150 metres away from: other cannabis retail stores (700 metres to the lot containing BC Cannabis Store) public playgrounds (over 160 metres to JP Dallos playing field), schools (over 260 metres to École Cote du Soleil and over 300 metres Assumption Catholic School), and a recreation complex (over 1.4km to the lot containing the Recreation Complex).
The applicant has secured a long-term lease for the property, and the property owner is aware of the proposed use. A site plan illustrating the proposed store layout, plus mock-ups of the proposed storefront are attached as Appendix C.
The applicant has completed a LCRB “fit and proper” check, attached as Appendix D. This process includes a security screening and a financial integrity check with the intent to keep organized crime out of the legal cannabis industry. Passing this “fit and proper” check means that the province has verified that the applicant is both eligible for and suitable to own and run a cannabis retail store. The applicant is a partnership between Debbie Dee of Brain Injury Society and David Formosa, both long-standing community members in Powell River. As Executive Director of Brain Injury Society for seventeen years, Ms. Dee looks forward to profits from the Suncoast Cannabis Shoppe providing a more sustainable source of funding to Powell River Brain Injury Society. Further, Suncoast Cannabis will be an equal opportunity employer, offering employment opportunities for Persons with Disabilities. Mr. Formosa brings business experience owning and operating a similarly regulated business, Capone’s Cellar.
The applicant has provided evidence of proposed security measures. The province requires third-party monitored intruder alarm and fire alarm systems, locked retail display cases, locked storage room, a secure perimeter, and security cameras that record 24/7. The province also requires that all employees take training, undergo background checks, and refuse access to the store by minors. The front windows and front door of the store will be opaque.
The province prohibits the consumption of cannabis inside cannabis retail stores. Further, City of Powell River Smoking Regulation Bylaw 2232, 2009 prohibits smoking within 6 metres of any building entrance or air intake; within 6 metres of a playing field, playground or school yard; and within 6 metres of any transit stop or taxi stand. All cannabis is supplied by licensed producers in pre-packaged, smell-proof containers.
In conducting referrals, the City has not received any concerns about this application. Feedback has been received from the RCMP and the Powell River Fire Rescue.
In summary, staff supports this application – cannabis retail store use is a permitted use for the proposed location of 102-7010 Duncan Street, meets zoning requirements, and the applicant has experience running cannabis retail stores.
