Statistics Canada Arts and culture are key economic drivers that contribute to local economies, build strong and healthy communities and create civic engagement and provincial pride. According to the 2014 Provincial and Territorial Culture Satellite Account produced by Stats Canada:

In 2014, B.C.’s growth in culture gross domestic product (GDP) was higher than the national average. B.C. consistently has the third‐highest culture GDP and jobs in the country, ahead of Alberta and behind Ontario and Quebec.

Page 31 of 80 Greater Vernon Advisory Committee

SUMMARY:

1. The Boss Creek Development located at 1301 Galiano Road, Electoral Area “C” applied for and received two (2) prior Development Variance Permits (DVPs): DVP No. 17-0017-C-DVP and 16-0323-C-DVP (Attachment “A” and Attachment “B”).

2. In 2018, the Boss Creek Development applied for DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP as outlined in this report.

3. In approving DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP, the two existing DVPs No. 16-0323-C-DVP and 17- 0017-C-DVP will be rescinded and no longer valid.

4. All three (3) water related DVPs for the Boss Creek Development have been to delay the construction of the water storage facility and related infrastructure for Phase 1 of the

Page 32 of 80 Greater Vernon Advisory Committee

development with conditions that this infrastructure will be constructed at Phase 2 of the development.

5. The main difference between the current application (18-0332-C-DVP) and the previous approved DVPs (16-0323-C-DVP and 17-0017-C-DVP) are changes to the number of lots in Phase 1 and the lot configuration. Additional covenants to ensure the construction of the required infrastructure are also required in 18-0332-C-DVP.

6. The lot configuration proposed in 18-0332-C-DVP and outlined in Figure 1 will align the number of approved lots and the subdivision configuration with the current Preliminary Layout Approval (PLA) registered with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

7. The Utilities Department recommends that the DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP application be approved.

DISCUSSION:

The Boss Creek Development (applicant) plans to subdivide and develop a residential neighbourhood comprised of Country Residential lots at the property located at 1301 Galiano Road, Electoral Area “C”.

The following ortho-photo of the subject and surrounding properties was taken in 2016:

The proposed subdivision area is at the lower elevations of the Subject Property within the GVW boundary and the applicant is proposing to develop in two (2) Phases. Phase 1 includes the development of lowest elevation sites, whereas the upper elevation sites will be subdivided and developed in Phase 2. The proposal to service the development with water supplied from GVW includes the construction of two (2) pump houses and watermain that will service most of the lots in Phase 1, and funds will be collected to assist funding the water storage facility. In Phase 2, the remaining lots in Phase 1 (three lots created on the Bannister/Sissons area) will be connected as well as the construction of water main and water storage facility.

This water servicing plan does not conform to sections 110 and 112.2, and Schedule B - section B.12.7 of the Greater Vernon Water Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 2650,

Page 33 of 80 Greater Vernon Advisory Committee

2013, as amended. Two (2) previous DVPs (16-0323-C-DVP and 17-0017-C-DVP) were approved that allowed subdivision and development of lots in Phase 1 with the delay of building the water storage facility in Phase 2. These DVPs included a requirement to collect non- refundable deposits for each residential lot created in Phase 1 to help fund construction of the future water storage facility.

In 2018, the applicant submitted another DVP request as outlined in this report (No. 18-0332-C- DVP). The applicant is proposing to change the currently approved DVPs (16-0323-C-DVP and 17-0017-C-DVP) by creating three (3) fee simple properties on the “Bannister/Sissons” property, instead of the two (2) already approved; and to remove four (4) previously approved Country Residential lots from Phase 1 on the “Vernon Hill Ranch” property.

The final layout within 18-0332-C-DVP as shown on Figure 1 includes the Boss Creek properties (“Vernon Hill Ranch” and “Bannister/Sissons”) to be subdivided into 18 lots in Phase 1 as follows: 12 parcels in the Boss Creek “Vernon Hill Ranch” development and three (3) parcels in Boss Creek “Bannister/Sissons” development as Country Residential, one (1) parcel as private road, and two (2) remainder parcels.

The proposal within DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP aligns with the lot layout of the DVP with the Preliminary Layout Approval (PLA) registered with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

UTILITIES ANALYSIS:

The Utilities Department recommends approving DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP with the following criteria: • That the requirement under section 5.1.4 (Public Information Meetings and Notice Requirements) of Greater Vernon Water Subdivision and Development Servicing Application Procedures and Administrative Fees Bylaw No. 2658, 2015, as amended, be waived as the current development meets current zoning requirements and when completed, the development will fully comply with the standards of the Greater Vernon Water Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 2650, 2013, as amended, and • Rescind the two prior DVPs (16-0323-C-DVP and 17-0017-C-DVP) to avoid conflicts and confusion.

The Utilities Department supports the DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP application for the following reasons: • DVP No. 18-0332-C-DVP does not change the original intent of the two (2) prior DVPs and aligns the layout of the DVP with the Preliminary Layout Approval (PLA) registered with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. • Water for fire fighting purposes will be provided in the interim via an existing fire hydrant located at the McLeish Road and Phillips Road intersection (entrance to the development). The applicant provided the funding to install this fire hydrant. It is intended to utilize this hydrant to fill fire tender trucks (tankers) as required in the event of a fire. • Upon completion of Phase 2, all works and services required in Bylaw No. 2650, 2013, as amended, will be completed, including construction of the water storage facility. • The three (3) existing single family homes located on the proposed Lots 15, 16 and 17 are currently serviced with potable water from existing on-site wells and on-site wastewater disposal systems but will be connected to GVW in Phase 2.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No: 18-0269-COL-WAA

FROM: Utilities Department Date: May 14, 2018

SUBJECT: Water Allocation Purchase Application – 6012 Highway 6, Coldstream, BC

RECOMMENDATION:

That it be recommended to the Board of Directors, the purchase of 2.0 hectares (ha) of water Allocation for the property located at 6012 Highway 6, Coldstream, BC and legally described as Plan B1497, Township 6, Section 25, be authorized; and further,

That the property be serviced by the potable main on Highway 6.

SUMMARY:

Mr. Thorlakson has applied to purchase 2.0 hectares of Allocation for the property at 6012 Highway 6, Coldstream, BC (Attachment “A”). The existing potable water supply system has the capacity to supply the proposed Allocation purchase for farm irrigation water to the subject property and the application meets the conditions of the Greater Vernon Water Purchase of Agricultural Water Allocation Policy No.ENG-WTR-005. Accordingly, staff recommends that the purchase of 2.0 hectares of farm irrigation water Allocation for the property located at 6012 Highway 6, Coldstream, BC, be authorized.

BACKGROUND:

At the January 20, 2016 Board of Directors meeting, the following resolution was carried:

“That the Greater Vernon Water Purchase of Agricultural Water Allocation Policy No. ENG-WTR-005 be endorsed.”

DISCUSSION:

Greater Vernon Water (GVW) has received an application from Harold Thorlakson (owner) to purchase 2.0 ha of water Allocation to irrigate the property for field crops. The property has farm status through BC Assessment but does not have any water Allocation at this time.

The applicant has indicated that they require water Allocation to facilitate an expansion of their farming business.

The parcel currently has 0.0 hectares of Allocation assigned to it. The applicant is requesting the purchase of 2.0 ha of water Allocation for the parcel. This Allocation purchase, if approved, will provide irrigation water for the applicant’s farm expansion.

Report to: GVAC File No.: 18-0269-COL-WAA From: Utilities Department Date: May 14, 2018 Re: Water Allocation Application – 6012 Hwy 6 Page 2 of 3

The current status of the subject property is as follows: 1. The subject property has an area of 8.296 ha; 2. The property currently has 0.0 hectares of assigned Allocation; 3. The applicant has requested to purchase 2.0 ha of Allocation for a total of 2.0 ha of Allocation which is less than the property size; 4. The cost to purchase Allocation is $6,000.00 per hectare; therefore, the cost to the applicants to purchase 2.0 ha of Allocation would be $12,000.00; 5. The property is located within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and is zoned RU2 Rural Two Zone in the District of Coldstream Zoning Bylaw No. 1382; 6. The applicant will be required to install a meter and appropriate backflow protection within a pit at the property line as per the conditions of the Greater Vernon Water Metering Bylaw No. 2678, 2015, as amended; 7. The water main fronting the subject property is a potable main supplied by treated water from Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant (DCWTP). This property does not have immediate access to a separate non treated irrigation connection however there is a 50 mm non potable main approximately 130 m from the property boundary (depicted as the dotted line on Hwy 6 on Attachment “A”). Further study (flow and pressure) would be required to assess if this main could be extended to the property boundary to service with non potable water as it is a small main with other irrigation customers connected. The cost to extend this main would be approximately $27,000.00 as long as the main can be constructed outside of the pavement of the highway; 8. In the Lavington Separation and Improvement Plan study completed for GVW in 2014, separated mains will service this property as part of the East Buchanan Service Area. In the GVW Long-Term Capital Plan, the East Buchanan separation project is scheduled to be completed in approximately 2030; and, 9. Currently there is no precedence or policy on requiring a property to complete a main extension or upgrades to access non potable water. Hence, staff is recommending that the Allocation purchase be approved and allow the applicant to connect to the treated water main currently available. The property will be serviced with non potable water as part of the separation project in the future as planned. The potable main on Highway 6 has sufficient capacity to service 2.0 hectares of Allocation and not impact other properties. However, the Board could require that if the 50 mm main has the capacity to service the property, the applicant extend the main to service the property.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No: 5750.02.02.02.05

FROM: Utilities Department Date: May 22, 2018 Duteau Creek Watershed Technical Advisory Committee Amended Terms SUBJECT : of Reference

RECOMMENDATION:

That it be recommended to the Board of Directors, the amended Duteau Creek Watershed Technical Advisory Committee Terms of Reference be endorsed.

DISCUSSION:

The Duteau Creek Watershed Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) had its first meeting in February 2009. The Terms of Reference were established in August 2010 (Attachment “A”) to provide guidance to the TAC on its role, composition, meetings and reporting.

In February 2018, the Help Our Watersheds Society (the society) requested to be included in the TAC. The society was asked to provide the purpose for their inclusion and they stated “first and foremost the society seeks to be an advocate for community stakeholders in the Region in ensuring that local watersheds are protected. Pursuant to their constitution, the society aims to: 1) Preserve our provincial watershed for future generations; 2) Promote awareness of environmental impacts of logging in BC watersheds amongst members of the public 3) Promote watersheds in BC from further environmental impacts arising from logging activities; and 4) Advocate for enforcement of legislative watershed protection in BC.” After a review, it was identified that the TAC Terms of Reference (TOR) did not provide for representation from the society, as the composition is currently comprised of stakeholder agencies that have decision making authority within the watershed including staff representatives from Provincial and Federal Ministries and tenure holders.

It is important to note that Greater Vernon Water (GVW) does not have authority related to land use practices on Crown land. GVW relies on Federal and Provincial Acts, Regulations, Stewardship Plans, Best Management Practices and Local Government bylaws and policies to protect the water resource from the impacts of land use in the watershed. The purpose of the TAC is to work with agencies to advance the protection of drinking water in a collaborative fashion rather than be involved in conflict resolution. The TAC also supports the RDNO conformance of the GVW permit to operate. To date, the TAC has achieved many successes by working collaboratively and cooperatively. TAC members have expressed a concern that the collaborative working environment would be hampered and membership may decline if groups or individuals without any decision making authority that are focused on stopping/changing policy regarding any particular Provincially mandated activity are allowed to join the TAC.

Report to: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No.: 5750.02.02.02.05 From: Utilities Department Date: May 22, 2018 Re: Duteau Creek Watershed TAC Amended TOR Page 2 of 2

Nonetheless, after review with the TAC, it was concluded that the TOR needed to be updated to include a means for non-members to provide information that could be helpful or assist the TAC to move forward yet still ensure that the TAC membership remained as those with authority within the watershed. The amended TOR is provided as Attachment "B".

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF NORTH OKANAGAN

Terms of Reference Duteau Creek Watershed Technical Advisory Committee

The Regional District of North Okanagan / Greater Vernon Water received the final report for the Duteau Creek Watershed and Recommendations for Source Protection in December 2008 (Kerr Wood Leidal Consulting Engineers and Dobson Engineering Ltd.) The implementation stage is the key to a successful source water protection program. The first stakeholder meeting was held on February 19, 2009. It was agreed that the goal was to protect the quality and quantity of Duteau Creek with the understanding that Duteau Creek is a Multi-use Community Watershed, that the stakeholder meetings are to be collaborative planning rather than conflict resolution, to increase knowledge of all stakeholders and to find creative yet sound ways to move forward with the recommendations in the Assessment.

1. Role of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)

1.1 The role of the TAC is to provide the Regional District of North Okanagan/ Greater Vernon Water staff with comments and recommendations on objectives, strategies, policies, and land use legislation that may be considered to protect water quantity and quality and the implementation of the protection plan. The TAC will also work collaboratively with the GVW manager and staff on:

1.1.1 Provide advice (i.e. bulletins, posters, signage, website links and presentations) aimed at raising awareness of source water protection and the effects of land use on water quality and quantity. 1.1.2 Acting as a resource for RDNO/GVW management and staff for integrated resource management as well as a liaison to the ministry or licensee they represent. 1.1.3 Identifying opportunities that may be available through other agencies or programs to implement strategies to protect source water. 1.1.4 Identifying threats that may delay or impair the implementation of the protection plan. 1.1.5 Developing collaborative solutions that follow SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time- Bound) principles.

STAFF REPORT

TO: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No: 5730.04.22

FROM: Utilities Department Date: May 24, 2018 Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates for Commercial Cannabis SUBJECT : Growers

RECOMMENDATION:

That it be recommended to the Board of Directors, that properties used for Commercial Cannabis Growing Operations not be eligible for Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates; and further,

That the Criteria to Receive Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates be updated to reflect the position that Commercial Cannabis Growing Operations are not eligible for Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates.

SUMMARY:

Greater Vernon Water (GVW) provides a rate for agricultural uses that is less than domestic rates. GVW determines if a property is eligible for the agricultural rate by using a number of Criteria. One of those Criteria is if the property has BC Assessment Farm Classification.

BC Assessment excludes medical cannabis production as a farm use for property tax purposes.

DISCUSSION:

The Federal government has been moving forward with the legalization of cannabis. As a result, the Regional District of North Okanagan (RDNO) Planning Department has indicated that there are a number of development/building applications that have been submitted to grow cannabis. As this is a new and evolving industry, staff is seeking direction from the Board regarding water rates for cannabis growing and processing operations.

The proposed legislation indicates two classes; personal use where up to four plants may be grown and Commercial Cannabis Growing Operations (Grow-ops) where plants are grown for commercial sale. This report is in reference to Grow-ops only.

The BC Land Commission has classified the growing of medical cannabis as a farm use. BC Assessment has indicated that they will classify growing cannabis as a farm use but these operations will be excluded from the farm use tax status, so essentially they will be able to get BC Farm Classification without receiving farm tax status.

Page 76 of 80 Greater Vernon Advisory Committee

Report to: Greater Vernon Advisory Committee File No.: 5730.04.22 From: Utilities Department Date: May 24, 2018 Re: Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates for Commercial Cannabis Growers Page 2 of 3

Upon discussions with the RDNO Planning Department, the Grow-ops are grown in industrial buildings due to security reasons. Under the BC Building Code, the building classification for occupancy for these operations is F3: Low Hazard Industrial. Some of the proposed buildings are extremely large, with one application in the RDNO area proposing to have a footprint of 11 acres. In staff’s view, these operations are dissimilar to other agricultural uses that grow product on the land or in small scale greenhouses that rely on natural soils and weather patterns. These operations grow their product in an industrial building in a controlled environment that are designed to have high production rates all year around.

GVW currently uses the Board endorsed “Criteria to Receive Greater Vernon Water Agricultural Water Rates” (“Criteria”) on the back of the “Application for RDNO Farm Classification” (Attachment “A”). Currently as growing cannabis has always been illegal, there is no clear direction on whether Grow-ops would receive Farm Classification. However, some the Criteria could lead to Grow-ops being approved for GVW Agricultural Water Rates which may not be the intention of the Board, for example:

• The note on the first page of the application indicates that if the Grow-op receives BC Assessment Farm Classification, the property is eligible to receive Agricultural Water Rates, and • Criteria 5. b. has herb production and medicinal plant culture listed as acceptable uses.

Staff is recommending that the Criteria be updated to clearly reflect the direction of the Board.

As stated above, staff is recommending that Grow-ops not receive Agricultural Water Rates and if the Board approves this direction, the Criteria would be updated as follows:

• The following line will be added as Criteria No. 1 and all following Criteria will be renumbered:

1. Properties with BC Assessment Farm Classification will automatically receive Agricultural Water Rates, with the exception of Commercial Cannabis Growing Operations which are not eligible to receive Agricultural Water Rates.

• The following will be added to the exclusion clause of Criteria 5. b.:

The following activities are NOT considered agricultural for the purposes of water billing: - Commercial Cannabis Growing Operations.
