applied for a grant and is waiting to hear back. Roof is in the budget if grant does not come in, as it is a high priority.
6. New business a) None
7. Old business a) Committees - has everyone had an opportunity to choose? Kim Pham is now on Personnel. b) Chris Barlow contacted Kim regarding the outside perimeter of the library building when she reported safety concerns late winter. Raises the question about who would be responsible for the cost of outside safety improvements. Would it be the city or the library? The library pays for Selkirk Security and has cameras inside and outside. This is our contractual obligation. Kim thinks adding items like fences, or gates should be the city’s responsibility. Sue will also be following up with Chris.

We are a service centre within British Columbia’s West Kootenay Region
Two great rivers meet at a unique place in the Southern Interior of British Columbia where people have lived for millennia, and others have brought traditions from around the world.
This is a place that values creativity, individuality, innovation, and education. It is a place of multi-generational family and love. From the converging energy of these two rivers springs the creativity and unique culture that makes the City of Castlegar an idyllic place to live, work, and grow. Creativity leads us here. We are a population of 13,700 City and area and a trade area of 70,000. The economy is diversified and growing, focused on forestry (Mercer-Celgar Mill, Interfor), energy (Columbia Power, FortisBC and BC Hydro), mining (Teck), and commercial services in the City. Quality of life features backcountry adventure and an increasingly dynamic urban culture, including the very popular Millennium Park & Ponds and the annual Sculpture Walk event.
The City’s desirability as an affordable business and lifestyle choice will continue to grow with anticipated investments in commercial development, housing, and technology and broadband service. 3 Annual Report 2020

Although I was not in my role during the Annual Report’s reporting period, I am proud of the hard work and dedication of all City staff in, what was, a truly extraordinary year.

This was all done while continuing to work diligently on a wide range of projects, objectives, and priorities from the City’s Strategic Plan. I would like to thank our staff, Council, and community for staying safe, holding strong, and working hard in 2020. Bring on 2021…

Independent Auditor’s Report (continued)
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the City's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the City to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

4 Contingencies Regional District of Central Kootenay Debt Regional District debt is, under the provisions of the Local Government Act and the Community Charter , a direct joint and severable liability of the District and each City within the District, including the City of Castlegar. Claims for Damages Certain claims, suits, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of operations have been filed or are pending against the City of Castlegar. The City cannot predict, with any certainty, the outcome of such litigation. Management is of the opinion, based upon information presently available, that it is unlikely that any liability, to the extent not provided through insurance or otherwise, would be material in relation to the City's financial position.

12 Pension Liability The City of Castlegar and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (a jointly trusteed pension plan). The board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for administering the plan, including investment of assets and administration of benefits. The plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. Basic pension benefits are based on a formula. As at December 31, 2019, the plan has about 213,000 active members and approximately 106,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 41,000 contributors from local governments. Every three years, an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the plan and adequacy of plan funding. The actuary determines an appropriate combined employer and member contribution rate to fund the plan. The actuary’s calculated contribution rate is based on the entry-age normal cost method, which produces the long-term rate of member and employer contributions sufficient to provide benefits for average future entrants to the plan. This rate may be adjusted for the amortization of any actuarial funding surplus and will be adjusted for the amortization of any unfunded actuarial liability. The most recent actuarial valuation for the Municipal Pension Plan as at December 31, 2018, indicated a $2,866 million funding surplus for basic pension benefits on a going concern basis. The City of Castlegar paid $424,179 for employer contributions to the plan in fiscal 2020. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2021, with results available in 2022. Employers participating in the plan record their pension expense as the amount of employer contributions made during the fiscal year (defined contribution pension plan accounting). This is because the plan records accrued liabilities and accrued assets for the plan in aggregate, resulting in no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, assets and cost to individual employers participating in the plan. 45 Annual Report 2020 – – 30,771 3,839,552 6,099,689 75,981,852 77,798,408 79,821,404

19 Budget The Financial Plan (Budget) By-Law adopted by Council on May 19, 2020 was not prepared on a basis consistent with that used to report actual results (Public Sector Accounting Standards). The budget was prepared on a modified accrual basis while Public Sector Accounting Standards now require a full accrual basis. The budget figures anticipated use of surpluses accumulated in previous years to reduce current year expenditures in excess of current year revenues to $nil. In addition, the budget expensed all tangible capital expenditures rather than including amortization expense.

20 COVID-19 Impact on City Operations Since December 31, 2019, the spread of COVID-19 has severely impacted many local economies around the globe. In many countries, including Canada, businesses are being forced to cease or limit operations for long or indefinite periods of time. Measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, including travel bans, quarantines, social distancing, and closures of non-essential services have triggered significant disruptions to businesses worldwide, resulting in an economic slowdown. As one of the few municipalities in Canada with an Airport, the City experienced significant revenue losses as a result of the pandemic. The Airport's main sources of revenues from passenger fees, concession and commissions were all impacted resulting in revenue losses.
21 COVID-19 Safe Restart Grant The City received a $2,184,000 COVID-19 Safe Restart Grant from the province as part of its response to the COVID- 19 pandemic. The purpose of this grant is to support local governments as they deal with increased operating costs and lower revenue due to COVID-19. It will also ensure local governments can continue to deliver the services people depend on in their communities throughout the pandemic and the post-COVID recovery period. Eligible costs are response costs related to COVID-19 and include, but are not limited to the following: x Facility reopening and operating costs x Emergency planning and response costs x Protective services and bylaw enforcement costs x Programs that support vulnerable populations x Computer and other electronic technology costs x Budgeted revenues that have not been collected
22 Contractual Rights The City has leased multiple properties to third parties with the following terms:

REPORT TO COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2021 REPORT NO.: 21-78
SUBMITTED BY: Planner FILE NO.: 3360-20-R-6/21
SUBJECT: Official Community Plan Amendment Application R-6/21 – Temporary Use Permits
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1352 be considered for First and Second Reading at the June 28, 2021 Regular Council Meeting and referred to Public Hearing.
PURPOSE: For Council to consider First and Second Reading of Official Community Plan (OCP) Amendment Bylaw 1352, a Bylaw to update the language of the OCP to align with the Local Government Act (LGA) and permit Temporary Use Permits in all land use designations.
This report is for consideration at the June 28, 2021 Committee of the Whole Meeting and for consideration of First and Second Reading at the June 28, 2021 Regular Council Meeting to facilitate notification of Public Hearing on July 19, 2021.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Temporary Use Permits are a way to temporarily vary the uses that are permitted in the Zoning Bylaw for a particular property. Issuing a Temporary Use Permit is authorized by the local government under the authority of the LGA, Part 14, Division 8.
Originally, the LGA only permitted Temporary Use Permits to be issued in commercial and/or industrial zones. The LGA was recently revised to enable Temporary Use Permits in any land use zone and no longer specifies use.
Part 14, Division 8 of the LGA specifies that the areas where temporary uses may be allowed must be designated within an OCP or Zoning Bylaw. Local Governments may specify general conditions regarding the issuance of Temporary Use Permits.
Temporary Use Permits are limited to a maximum of three years, and the applicant to whom the permit has been issued to may apply a single time to extend the permit for a further 3 years. If there is a desire to continue the use after that time, a rezoning application is required.
The proposed amendment would: 1) Expand where Temporary Use Permits may be considered by Council to include every designated land use in the OCP; and 2) Add the sentence, ‘the temporary use should be in alignment with the objectives of the land use designation in which it is proposed under general conditions to be considered’.
Report re: Official Community Plan Amendment Application R-6/21 Page 2 of 2
ALTERNATIVES: Council could choose to not proceed with First and Second readings of Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1352. Staff does not recommend this, as the proposed bylaw may be considered a general amendment to align the OCP with changes to the LGA.
IMPLICATIONS: (1) Social N/A
(2) Environmental N/A
(3) Personnel This amendment will take approximately six hours of staff time to complete. (4) Financial N/A
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: The proposed OCP amendment would align the OCP with recent revisions to the LGA to permit Temporary Use Permit applications to be considered by Council in all land use designations.
IMPLEMENTATION: If First and Second Readings are provided, staff will coordinate a Public Hearing prior to Council’s consideration of Third Reading and Adoption.
COMMUNICATION: Notification and publication of a Public Hearing as per the requirements of the LGA.

24.0 TEMPORARY USE PERMITS
The Local Government Act provides that a Community Plan may designate areas where temporary uses may be allowed. Where temporary use areas are designated on the Community Land Use Map or are permitted within the text of this section, Council may, upon application of the owner of the designated land, issue a temporary use permit. Temporary use permits issued by Council, may:
− Provide for use that would otherwise not be permitted;
− Provide for the construction of buildings or structures to accommodate persons who work at the temporary use enterprise;
− Include conditions to ensure that said buildings will be demolished or removed from the land when the permit expires;
− Provide for the restoration of the land by a date specified in the permit; and,
− Require security to guarantee performance of the permit conditions.
Temporary use permits will be considered subject to the following general conditions:
− the use must be clearly temporary or seasonal in nature;
− the temporary use should not create an unacceptable level of negative impact on surrounding permanent uses.
Temporary use permits may be issued for a maximum period of three years; however, the permit may be renewed on a one-time only basis, for a further three-year period.
The list of land use designations that follow are designated as Temporary Use areas:
− Airport;
− Downtown;
− Columbia Avenue Commercial;
− Regional Commercial;
− Regional Commercial Airport;
− Light Industrial;
− Heavy Industrial; and,
− Transition.

1.5 DELEGATIONS 1.5.1 Community Futures Central Kootenay: Cannabis Business Transition Initiative Paul Kelly Cannabis Business Transition Initiatives Manager
Paul Kelly gave a presentation to the Board regarding the Cannabis Business Transition Initiative (CBTI). The CBTI has been funded for a two year period and is
Regional District of Central Kootenay May 20, 2021 3 ending July 9, 2021. The total program budget was $955,000 over the two years with contributions from local municipalities and the RDCK of about $15,000.
Mr. Kelly discussed the CBTI timeline for the past two years from the conception of the project, to hiring staff and working with stakeholders, to interpreting and understanding policy, to designing the program. He discussed the general program intake and the aim to have 106 clients with Cannabis licenses by the project end date. The CBTI is looking at the future and has been examining possible follow-up business services to assist with the emerging sector.
Mr. Kelly went over the functions of the CBTI from holding public information workshops on cannabis business licensing to business planning and financial projections. The CBTI provides license application support and assists with networking and sales connections. The CBTI has helped many clients throughout the region to understand legislation and work towards creating a successful Cannabis business.
Mr. Kelly gave an overview of the Cannabis Economic Development Council, administered by Abra Brynne, and the 20-member task force that is made up of industry stakeholders, municipal and provincial partners with geographic representation throughout the region. They provide opportunities to discuss development needs within the emerging industry from a Kootenay perspective and help the Province with resource development, business financial modelling, and policy feedback.
Emerging sector support is critical. Mr. Kelly identified that infrastructure costs are very high to begin operations in the legal cannabis market and the Health Canada guidance documents are very difficult to read and interpret. Health Canada does not have a mandate to support micro cultivators and does not give tangible guidance to micro-applicants. It will likely be 5-6 years before more cultivators are able to secure a license and achieve market viability to generate revenue.
In conclusion, Mr. Kelly discussed the next steps and that the Provincial and Federal governments have been approached to continue or expansion the funding for CBTI.
Mr. Kelly answered the Board’s questions.
Chair Watson thanked Mr. Kelly for his presentation.
1.5.2 Be Amazing Campaign Cathy Peters Educator
Cathy Peters gave a presentation to the Board regarding human sex trafficking and sexual exploitation for the purpose of prostitution. She identified that it is very lucrative and is the fastest growing crime in the world, targeting the most vulnerable and our children.
Today’s slavery has low costs and huge profits; a trafficker can make $280,000 per victim, per year. Average age of entry into prostitution is 12-14 years of age in Canada, although traffickers are targeting children as young as 8 years of age. There is a dramatic increase in child exploitation and child pornography (production and consumption). Unchecked pornography on the internet fuels the sex trade creating an increasing demand for paid sex. The biggest problem we have in Canada: people do not know we have a problem here; therefore the traffickers are developing the sex industry exponentially. Every woman and child,
Regional District of Central Kootenay May 20, 2021 4 the marginalized and vulnerable will become a potential target and victim, unless we do something to stop it. Information provided from the Be Amazing Campaign website.
Ms. Peters indicated that 54% of the victims are indigenous and there is very little education within B.C. regarding human sex trafficking. She discussed contributing factors to human sex trafficking and gave examples of business covers that encourage sexual exploitation. She identified it is very important for communities to reduce demand of sexual content to diminish supply. She indicated that many victims are being targeted at schools and through social media. A trafficker can lure a victim within five minutes of using a social media platform.
Ms. Peters provided many helpful resources to educate people within our communities and encouraged the Board to visit, www.beamazingcampaign.org.
In conclusion, Ms. Peters requested: to be able to present to stakeholders within the Central Kootenay region; that the RDCK send a letter to the Premier and Solicitor General indicating that human sex trafficking crime is a priority in B.C. and to request funding to bring awareness to the campaign; that the RDCK support B.C.'s need for a interagency Human Sex Trafficking Task Force, similar to what is available for drugs and gangs, and similar to Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario; and that the RDCK write a letter of support to address Human Sex Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation and Child Sex Trafficking in B.C.
Ms. Peters answered the Board’s questions.
Chair Watson thanked Ms. Peters for her presentation.

Carried Originally signed by Originally signed by ______Aimee Watson, RDCK Board Chair Angela Lund, Secretary From: "LCRB Liquor Policy LCRB:EX"
Hello, I’m writing to announce Policy Directive 21-09 regarding Temporary Expanded Service Area (TESA) authorizations and 21-10 regarding patio bounding and signage. To support the hospitality industry’s economic recovery through the pandemic, and to support the delivery of the Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General’s mandate commitment to make temporarily expanded service areas permanent, the Province has amended the Liquor Control and Licensing Regulation (LCLR). As you’re aware, all existing TESA authorizations are set to expire on Oct. 31, 2021. However, to ensure licensees have enough time to apply to make their current TESA authorizations permanent and to prevent the risk of disruptions to businesses in the use of temporary expanded service areas during the application process, these amendments will enable the General Manager of the LCRB toextend all current TESA authorizations to Jun. 1, 2022. Licensees do not need to apply for this extension, and there are no associated costs for licensees. Local governments and Indigenous Nations will have until Jul. 30, 2021 to raise concerns about existing TESA authorizations in their jurisdiction before those temporary authorizations are automatically extended by seven months by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB). As always, the LCRB will work with local governments, Indigenous Nations, and licensees to resolve any concerns which are raised with existing TESA authorizations. All licensees with current TESA authorizations, whose local governments have not raised concerns, will be reissued authorization letters automatically extending the expiry date of their temporary authorizations through to Jun. 1, 2022. All approved and extended TESA authorizations must remain in compliance with local bylaws and requirements. All other requirements relating to TESA authorizations remain the same. If you are not issued a new authorization letter, your existing TESA will expire on October 31, 2021.
Licensees who would like to make their current TESA authorization permanent must apply for new outdoor patio permanent structural change (if their TESA is located outdoors) or a new interior service area permanent structural change (if their TESA is located indoors). It’s important to note that the approval process for a permanent structural change can take up to 10 months. Although the LCRB has amended its policies and processes to help improve application timelines, we encourage licensees to submit their permanent structural change applications as soon as possible to help avoid disruptions in business.
As support for some patios was only an interim measure intended to help businesses weather the pandemic, local governments and Indigenous Nations will need to evaluate structures and outdoor licensed areas in terms of their community’s unique requirements and approach to outdoor dining before those temporary authorizations are made permanent by the LCRB. In addition to the above, as of Oct. 31, 2021, the LCRB will stop accepting new applications for TESA authorizations. This is to ensure regulatory authorities – including the LCRB, local governments and Indigenous Nations – have time to review eligible applications for permanent structural changes (i.e. permanent patios) before TESA authorizations expire and to consider the implications of permanent approval on their communities. Licensees who have not yet submitted a TESA authorization application, can do so by visiting the liquor and cannabis licensing portal until October 31, 2021. As mentioned, the LCRB has been working hard to streamline the licensing process to reduce timelines and has made important changes to its associated policies and procedures to support the transition of viable TESAs to permanent service areas. As such, and as described in Policy Directive 21-10, section 16.3 of the Liquor Policy Manual (LPM), and Terms & Conditions handbooks have been updated to reflect new policy on patio bounding. The new policy is less prescriptive about the type and nature of patio bounding; however, it does place greater responsibility on licensees to select patio bounding which will ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. While LCRB policy will be less prescriptive, a new term & condition has been implemented requiring that the boundaries of outdoor service areas be clearly marked. The LPM has also been updated to provide additional advice on the acceptable valid interest for licensees intending to operate their patios for only part of the year. Licensees are required to review and understand the terms and conditions related to these changes in the updated Terms and Conditions Handbook that apply to their licence type here:https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/employment-business/business/liquor-regulation- licensing/liquor-licence-permits/liquor-law-policy/liquor-licence-terms-conditions-manuals as well as the updated Liquor Policy Manual here: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/employment-business- and-economic-development/business-management/liquor-regulation-licensing/guides-and- manuals/liquor_policy_manual.pdf If you have any questions about the process for applying for a permanent structural change, please email [email protected]. If you have any questions about the TESA policy, please email [email protected].

REPORT TO COUNCIL
MEETING DATE: June 28, 2021 REPORT NO.: 21-66
SUBMITTED BY: Manager of Planning, Development FILE NO.: 3360-20-R-1/21 and Sustainability
SUBJECT: OCP and Zoning Amendment Application R-1/21 – Habitat for Humanity
RECOMMENDATION (to be considered individually):
1. THAT Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1354 be read a third time.
2. THAT Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1354 be adopted.
3. THAT Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1355 be read a third time.
4. THAT Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1355 be adopted.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is for Council to consider third reading and adoption of Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 1354 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1355.
This report is for consideration at the June 28, 2021 Regular Council Meeting. Following a public hearing Council can not accept further submission from the public or the applicant on the proposed amendments.
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND: Staff recommend that Council adopt Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1354 and Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1355 which are amendments intended to support the development of a six-unit multi family development on a City owned parcel located at 560 8th Street in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
Two units will be designed for accessibility. The development will consist of one duplex and one fourplex intended for market housing.
Variances will be incorporated into the amending Bylaw and are required to accommodate the development including:
• Setback variance from the east property line from 6.0 m (19.7 feet) to 4.9 m (16.0 feet) • Setback variance from the north property line from 6.0 m (19.7 feet) to 4.6 m (15.0 feet) • Setback variance from the west property line from 6.0 m (19.7 feet) to 4.9 m (16.0 feet) • Parking variance from 9 spaces to 8 spaces
Report re: OCP and Zoning Amendment Application R-2/21 Page 2 of 4
The proposed setback variances are required due to the challenging topography associated with the property and the need for two retaining walls. The parking variance is being requested to accommodate two accessible parking stalls which require the same site area as three standard parking stalls.
To facilitate this development the applicant is pursuing an Official Community Plan (OCP) Amendment from Low Density Residential (LDR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR) and a Zoning Amendment from Single Family Residential (R1) to Medium Density Multiple Residential (R4) with site specific variances and partial road closure of 8th Street. Pedestrian access will be maintained through a statutory right of way that will be retained by the City for future possible improvements.
The proposed development will trigger the requirements of a major development permit for form and character under the Multi-family Development Permit Area as designated in Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1150.
This project is a result of a successful proposal in response to the City’s Request for Proposals 2020-06 Affordable Housing – City Owned Sites as issued in 2020. The original site chosen for this project was deemed unsuitable following site investigations.
The proposed amendments were referred to Public Hearing on June 14, 2021. Public notification was distributed as per the requirements of the Local Government Act. Submissions received prior to Public Hearing are attached to this report for Council consideration as part of the Public Hearing Information Package as well as the Public Hearing Minutes (Attachments 1 and 2). Concerns were raised as to snow removal and parking congestion along 8th Street as a result of this proposal and the need for potential visitor parking. There is already observable congestion on 8th Street as a result of existing residential on-street parking which has been further exasberated with student drop-off and pick-up at the elementary school.
Staff will be taking the following measures to address these concerns:
1. Snow removal concerns are primarily associated with current snow removal equipment that pushes the snow to the side into sidewalks and yards. This issue is not unique to 8th Street and has been a subject of concern throughout the City. It is anticipated that new snow removal equipment will improve this situation. Snow removal will be treated like other dead end streets in which the snow can be pushed to an appropriate location and then removed and relocated when time permits. 2. Parking congestion will be alleviated through several mechanisms: a. The City will reach out to School District 20 and investigate the use of signage indicating residential parking hours to deter the use of 8th Street as a student drop-off and pick-up location in collaboration with the elementary school. The City has recently designated additional on-street parking for the elementary school at their request along 7th Avenue. b. The City will reach out to CMHA Kootenay who operates Maranatha Court to resolve the issue of residential parking occurring on-street and to redirect that parking to the established off-street parking spaces that are available on-site. These options must be followed with consistent enforcement of the parking requirements in order to be effective. Report re: OCP and Zoning Amendment Application R-2/21 Page 3 of 4
These measures will be communicated back to residents who provided feedback at the Public Hearing.
The City will be retaining a Statutory Right of Way for the purposes of pedestrian access. This access is not currently maintained or improved. Council may wish to consider to what standard and cost this Statutory Right of Way be maintained as part of future budget and capital planning discussions.
ALTERNATIVES: 1. Council could choose to not proceed with the proposed OCP and Zoning Amendments. This is not recommended by staff as there is opportunity for the applicants to address some of the concerns that have been raised and the project has been well supported by others in the community as a means of addressing housing needs. 2. Council could choose to table the proposed OCP and Zoning Amendments to allow for further feedback and refinement to the proposal. This is not recommended by staff as the applicant will require a decision in order to move forward with the necessary financing for this project. 3. Council could request that Habitat for Humanity investigate the cost benefit associated with scaling back the proposed development to four units to address community concerns that the proposed density is not appropriate to the site. This may resolve the need for additional variances associated with the proposal and reduce the need for retaining walls but may not be economically feasible in terms of rate of return to costs associated with construction.
IMPLICATIONS: (1) Social The recommended amendments will support the development of up to six multi-family units, two of which will be accessible. This is in alignment with the housing needs identified in the City’s Housing Needs Assessment in 2018.
(2) Environmental The applicant has submitted an environmental and geotechnical assessment of the property and no remediation requirements were identified.
Habitat Branch has not identified any species at risk and has requested that construction avoid nesting and breeding season.
(3) Personnel A Public Hearing was held on June 14, 2021 in which all members of Council were in attendance.
(4) Financial If the proposal is successful the City will move forward with the necessary legal notification of disposition of land similar to other land exchanges that have been pursued in partnership with housing providers at the time of development approval.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Council has identified the priority of continuing to advocate for affordable housing and ensure City’s regulations support the development of such in the 2019-2023 Strategic Plan. This Report re: OCP and Zoning Amendment Application R-2/21 Page 4 of 4 project is in alignment with the City’s 2018 Housing Needs Assessment and supports policy objectives under Section 9.3.2 of the City’s OCP: 1. Ensure the development of a wide range of multiple unit housing forms throughout the City and in individual developments. 2. Strongly encourage a wide range of tenure types and organizational frameworks including lease, rental, strata and co-operative and not for profit housing. 3. Direct affordable housing development to areas close to education, shopping and transit.
IMPLEMENTATION: OCP and Zoning Amendments are required to host a Public Hearing prior to consideration of Third Reading and Adoption. A Public Hearing was scheduled for June 14, 2021 between the Committee of the Whole Meeting and Regular Council Meeting. If Council proceeds with Adoption staff will amend OCP Bylaw 1150 and Zoning Bylaw 800 and notify the applicant accordingly.
COMMUNICATION: Notification of Public Hearing was placed within two consecutive issues of the Castlegar News. Adjacent property owners within the notification area were provided notice through direct mailing.

Pedestrian access will be maintained through a statutory right of way that will be retained by the City for future possible improvements. This may have future cost implications to the City that will need to be determined.
The subject property is adjacent to another multi-family development that consists of purpose- built rentals and managed by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Kootenays and single family and duplex dwellings at the termination of 8th Street by the elementary school. The area has been identified as having issues with parking congestion from both proximate residential users and with school drop offs and pick ups. The undeveloped road right of way is also well used by pedestrians as a connector. For this reason the City has included a statutory right of way to maintain public access as part of the partial road closure.
The proposed amendments were referred to engineering, civic works, fire department, building and finance departments, Advisory Planning Commission (APC), transportation, habitat branch, interior health, school district 20, utility service providers and First Nations as identified through the provincial consultative areas database. Adjacent property owners within 60 meters of the property under amendment were also sent a referral package. Comments received to date can be found as Attachment 4 of this report.
Staff are recommending that the proposed amendments are referred to Public Hearing to provide opportunity to address some of the concerns that have been raised and to enable further dialogue between the applicant and adjacent residents.
The proposed development will also trigger the requirements of a major development permit for form and character under the Multi-family Development Permit Area as designated in Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1150.

Council could proceed with the proposed OCP and Zoning Amendments but address the required development variances through a Development Variance Permit instead of incorporating them site specifically in the Medium Density Residential (R4) zone. Report re: Zoning Amendment Application R-2/21 Page 3 of 3
IMPLICATIONS: (1) Social The recommended amendments will support the development of up to six multi-family units, two of which will be accessible. This is in alignment with the housing needs identified in the City’s Housing Needs Assessment in 2018.
(2) Environmental The applicant has completed an environmental overview assessment and has identified that there is former road fill placed at the site. Habitat Branch has not identified any species at risk and has requested that construction avoid nesting and breeding season. (3) Personnel If the proposed site specific amendment is moved, staff will prepare the necessary notification of a Public Hearing which is anticipated to take place June 14, 2021. (4) Financial If the proposal is successful the City will move forward with the necessary legal notification of disposition of land similar to other land exchanges that have been pursued in partnership with housing providers at the time of development approval.
There may be a future financial request for the City to improve the pedestrian pathway.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS: This amendment is being pursued to enable the provision of market housing. The housing being proposed is in alignment with housing need as identified by the City’s Housing Needs Assessment that was completed in 2018.
IMPLEMENTATION: Zoning Amendments are required to host a Public Hearing prior to consideration of Third Reading and Adoption.

Re: City of Castlegar – Zoning Amendment Application for 560 8th Street
Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC Society (HFHSEBC) is pleased to submit a Zoning Amendment Application to the City of Castlegar, as part of the plan to construct affordable housing on the property and adjacent road allowance at 560 8th Street, Castlegar.
This housing project is in alignment with the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Castlegar and Habitat for Humanity SEBC, dated February 19, 2020. The proposed multi- family development is the collaborative result of our proposal to the City, dated April 20th, 2020, in response to the City’s Request for Proposal # 2020-06 Affordable Housing – City Owned Sites issued on March 20th, 2020.
In Canada, over four million people live in substandard housing and one in seven children live in poverty. We believe that access to safe, decent and affordable housing is a basic human right that should be available to all. Over the last decade the demand for affordable housing in the Kootenay Boundary region has been increasing. Families languish for years on waiting lists for social housing, non-profit housing and co-operative housing. This, coupled with a housing market experiencing record increases in the average house price, makes affordable homeownership an impossible dream for most low-income families.
Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC is family-focused, family-centered and family-involved. We expect that with this new 8th Street housing development, by early 2022 six local families will take ownership of their own decent, stable and affordable home, providing benefit for the whole community.
We look forward to moving forward with the City of Castlegar to increase the availability of affordable housing in the City.
Sincerely,
Elaine Pura Executive Director Habitat for Humanity Southeast BC

Please find the completed Zoning Amendment Application Form attached. We request that the property at 560 – 8th Street be amended from R1 to R4 zoning, for the purpose of building multi- family housing.
2. Project Proposal
Habitat for Humanity Southeast British Columbia Society (HFHSEBC) is planning to construct multi-family housing, in partnership with the City of Castlegar, at 560 – 8th Street. This development will support the City of Castlegar in reaching its affordable housing goals.
Vacant land and the adjacent unused road allowance have been identified and approved to be transferred to HFHSEBC for this affordable housing project by Castlegar City Council via resolution.
HFHSEBC will maximize the effective use of the land provided, with plans to build 6 units in two buildings on the property. The development will meet OCP Guidelines for Multiple Family Developments (24.8).
The housing will be functional, attractive, energy and water use efficient, healthy, low maintenance, and ultimately an asset to the City of Castlegar. The design will be consistent with the basic mission and goals of HFHSEBC – simple, decent, affordable housing for responsible households in need.
HFHSEBC will construct homes for low- income Partner Families as defined by federal, provincial and regional Low Income Cut Off (LICO). The homes will be constructed in accordance with the Habitat for Humanity Guidelines. The size of home depends on the Partner Families identified in Castlegar and the six planned units will likely include a mix of two and three-bedroom, one or two level, multi-family homes. Every home shall have enough bedrooms for the size and make-up of resident households, according to National Occupancy Standard (NOS) requirements. Total expected gross floor area is just under 6700 square feet.
An unfinished basement area may be provided. Off-street parking and a small utility storage shed will be provided with each unit. Modest landscaping will be provided and will ensure a “water wise” property.
Entrances, hallways, and interior doorways will be designed considering accessibility requirements. Provision for future accessibility modifications will be included in the design. If a Partner Family has specific accessibility requirements, the design criteria and layout of the home will be adjusted to support this family. At least minimum accessibility requirements as per CMHC and the City of Castlegar will be met. It is currently planned that two of the six units will be fully accessible
The new homes will also be constructed in accordance with the British Columbia Energy Step Code – Step 3, at minimum. This will ensure high energy efficiency and reduce ongoing utility costs for the families.
Date: February 1, 2021 Page 3 of 4 HFHSEBC is now advanced in discussions with a modular home company to provide multi- family, multi-level modular housing to reduce home construction cost, improve construction cost certainty, reduce construction risk and significantly improve construction schedule. Please note that road, water, sewage, and hydro service currently come to or through the property line and/or the adjacent road allowance. No permanent buildings currently exist on the land. At the request of the City of Castlegar, a pedestrian walkway will be developed along one property boundary, similar to current use by local residents when passing through the undeveloped 8th Street road allowance. This walkway will remain outside of any fences or retaining walls.
3. Site Plan
The project is at the conceptual design phase. Conceptual designs are attached. These will evolve to a more advanced stage by the end of February 2021. Additional site plans will be shared as soon as available.
4. Title
As the property is currently owned by the City of Castlegar, title documents have not been attached. However, these will be obtained and submitted if/as needed.
5. Other Documents

Re: City of Castlegar - Variance Requests for 560 8th Street
As addendum to our Zoning Amendment Application dated February 1, 2021, Habitat for Humanity Southeast British Columbia (HFHSEBC) wishes to submit four, related variance requests for the property located at 560 8th Street. This housing project is in alignment with the existing Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Castlegar and Habitat for Humanity SEBC, dated February 19, 2020. The proposed multi-family development is the collaborative result of our proposal to the City, dated April 20th, 2020, in response to the City’s Request for Proposal # 2020- 06 Affordable Housing – City Owned Sites issued on March 20th, 2020. The City of Castlegar has resolved the allocation of 560 8th Street plus the adjacent road allowance to HFHSEBC as part of the low-income housing initiative. Part of this understanding is for HFHSEBC to maximize density of housing and consider requirement for accessible units. The City has also requested a right-of-way to permit continued movements east/west through the property, resulting in a 10-foot (3M) pathway along the north property line. It is expected that the 560 8th street lot had not been developed earlier due to topographical challenges and the associated development costs. Habitat for Humanity SEBC is proposing a two-building development, as follows: o Building 1 includes 2 x 3 bedroom ‘townhome’ style units. Each unit will be two storey, +/- 1120 sq feet with an unfinished basement. o Building 2 includes 4 x 2-bedroom apartment style units with fully accessible units on the main floor and non-accessible units above. Each unit will be +/- 860 sq feet with a crawl space.
Please note that this property is constrained by a steep bank to the south and the southeast corner. The original HFHSEBC concept (February 2021) had the development utilizing the southeast corner for the buildings and including a seventh unit, however, during conceptual design, it was determined that the cost and complexity of retaining walls made this prohibitive.
We have carefully considered and balanced the objective of maximizing density, including the right-of-way, providing accessible units while containing site development costs.
4400 Minto Road www.hfhsebc.org 778.632.0006 Castlegar, BC [email protected] V1N 4B3 Please view the provided Site Plan, dated April 13th, 2021, in conjunction with the text of this letter.
Variance Request #1 – East/Rear side East / rear lot line set back as per R4 zoning is 19.7 (6M) feet in order to maximize parking available in front of the buildings, and ensure space for a wheelchair ramp, we are proposing to push Building 2 east, and build up to 16 feet from the lot line. This also avoids an overlap of Building 1. Please note that there is only 23 feet from the northeast corner of Building 1 to the south wall of Building 2. (Please also see related note in Variance Request #3 re space between Buildings 1 and 2.)
Variance Request #2 – North/Interior side North / interior side lot line set back as per R4 zoning is 19.7 feet (6M). Given the City request for a 10-foot pathway on the north side, we are requesting to build up to 15 feet from the lot line. As shown the proposed Building 2 location will start 5 feet south of the 10 foot pathway. This variance will allow for greater space between Buildings 1 and 2, providing more useable green space on the lot, as much of the remaining green space may be inaccessible due to the retaining walls. Please note that the right-of-way, a retaining wall, and privacy fencing will provide separation between this new housing development and the townhouse development to the north.
Variance Request #3 – West /Interior side West / interior side lot line set back as per R4 zoning is 19.7 feet (6M). We are assuming this is an interior side lot line given the fact we are bordering on the western neighbour's lot. We are requesting to build up to 16 feet of the lot line. To meet the full 19.7 feet R4 zoning setback would require pushing the building (Building 1) a further 3.7 feet east into the steep bank which would result in more excessive retaining walls (+/- 12 feet instead of the currently proposed 8 feet) with the associated extra project cost becoming increasingly and unmanageably expensive. We propose that a privacy separation (e.g., fence or natural hedges) be installed on the west property line, in discussion with the neighbour to the west to find a mutually acceptable solution.
Note: We are assuming the front lot line setback is the section facing west onto 8th Street. This will now be the entrance to the required off-street parking area. No variance is required for this section.
Also, the south side is an interior side / rear lot line with a setback of 19.7 feet (6M) and requires no variance. However, this will require significant retaining wall with associated cost.
4400 Minto Road www.hfhsebc.org 778.632.0006 Castlegar, BC [email protected] V1N 4B3 Variance Request #4 – Parking Parking requirements for R4 zoning is to be 1.5x the number of units (6) = 9 parking spaces. For the proposed development, two of the spaces will be wider, accessible spaces for the two proposed fully accessible housing units. Given the area remaining after the buildings’ footprint dimensions and the two accessible parking spaces - and working with the steep slope of the lot - we request a variance of one parking space, for total of eight parking spaces. It should be recognized that Habitat is building low to moderate income homes, therefore the chance of multiple families requiring more than one parking space is low. Please note that if we were not providing accessible parking spaces, the R4 requirement of nine spots would have fit.
We appreciate the City of Castlegar reviewing this variance requests, and for considering them in conjunction with our Zoning/OCP Amendment Application for the proposed HFHSEBC development at 560 8th Street. We appreciate your timely feedback on this submission.
Your sincerely,
Elaine Pura Executive Director

As far as hydrants, I believe distances are met with existing locations, however more is better. I would request that engineering confirm that the correct standards are met for this type of development. Engineering Department Engineering has no comments with respect to the rezoning application. A full review of the site plans will be undertaken at the development application stage. Civic Works Operations Two comments, with the winter snow clearing is there Department accommodation for snow clearing of the parking lot to remain on private property? And second the 3m pathway along 8th can it be paved to allow for winter snow clearing? Individual APC Member I think it’s a great initiative and don’t see any issues with the application (no meeting was held). Interior Health, Healthy Built An initial review has been completed and no health Environment Team impacts associated with this proposal have been identified. As such, our interests are unaffected by this proposal. Habitat Branch The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations & Rural Development – Habitat Division has reviewed this Development Application on April 20, 2021 and has determined that this project should not impact the Resource Management Division’s legislated responsibilities.
Vegetation clearing should adhere to the least risk timing windows for nesting birds (i.e. construction activities should occur only during least risk period). Nesting birds and some nests are protected by the Provincial Wildlife Act Sec.34 and Federal Migratory Bird Act. Nesting periods can be identified by a qualified professional.

Ministry of Transportation Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the development permit. The ministry’s interests are unaffected Adjacent Property Owner I think this habitat plan may be too big for this lot in North castlegar. I believe we do need a lot more affordable housing, but the plan is too high density for this area. Please reconsider. Thank you Adjacent Property Owner I've previously sent an email on November 2, 2020 stating my concerns over how much low income housing and congestion is already in this area. Also with this proposed development, I don't see a place for me to park on the street. The other neighbors and I feel that the added congestion will directly affect our already busy and noisy roadway. In turn having a negative affect on property value. We hope you reconsider the proposed location and move it to the embarrassing looking tennis courts up the road. Adjacent Property Owner I would like to express my concerns about the proposed OCP and Zoning Amendment Application – 560 8th Street and the proposed buildings to be constructed on that site.
I would really like to see 8th Street developed and the road put right through. The Millennium Park plan had 8th street as an exit from the park walkway up to 5th Avenue. That has not been done. People living in this area have to drive all the way along 5th Avenue from 6th Street right through to Larch Street in order to get to the semi through street of 7th Avenue. The city seems to be willing to put up retaining walls so why not a through road and a park for the kids to play in this area. Maranatha has very little green or park area for the children that live there to play in and these new buildings also do not have much play area for their owner’s children.
I walk through that area every day to take my grandchild to school and also to walk through to go up to Columbia Avenue and downtown. I see many cars already on this street. I always see at least 4 cars parked at the end of 8th Street and maybe two more in front of Maranatha. I just counted the number of cars that are in the picture you sent of the site. There are at least 23 cars parked in that picture. I do not know what time of day it was taken but you can see there is the possibility of so many more cars in that area too. People who own the three newest houses on that street park in their garage and driveways but they can also park on the street and of course they will have visitors parking in front of their houses too. I do not see any mention of visitor parking for the two new proposed buildings. When we spoke, you said that Maranatha has plenty of parking but, there are 8 units that back up to 8th Street. I do not know if the people in those units have a disability or not or, how many mothers with small children live there but both of those reasons would mean that they would need parking close to their apartments. There is only one way out of the Maranatha parking lot and only one way out of that portion of 8th Street. That portion of 8th Street is also used every day by people who drive their children to school or pick them up after school. They will drive down that short portion of 8th Street and turn around then come back up the street to park on the side or on 7th Avenue. Now there will be cars coming out of Maranatha, out of the new buildings parking lot, out of all the residents homes garages and driveways and cars using 8th as a turnaround. All the while children are walking to Elementary and High School.
The new buildings parking lot is also a problem. The two disabled slots seem to be OK to back out of but, spaces 5, 6, 7 and 8 might have a problem backing out of their spaces. If the owner of lot1 DL181 NEP80487 or the people living in Maranatha decide to park in front of his house or on the side of 8th Street then that will narrow the opening to the parking lot. I assume that there is enough room for the garbage truck to get into the parking lot in order to pick up and empty the garbage dumpster. What about in the winter. In all the previous winters the snow has been collected and dumped at the end of 8th Street. Now it is a parking lot. Where will the snow go?
I will now be walking my Granddaughter right beside a garbage dumpster to get to school every day. I think I read that under Outdoor Storage and Landscaping 3.5.6 (2) that No garbage containers or recycling bins shall be located within 6.0 m (19.7 ft.) of a lot line.
The last 4 units of Maranatha will now be looking at a fence, a garbage dumpster and a two story building. I am also concerned about the owner of LOT 3 BLOCK1 DL 181 NEP 2563. There is quite a drop off into his yard by the 8th Street right of way. If they are going to be putting a walkway along the side of this proposed development and the building closer to the edge of his property there is going to be quite a change in the elevation of the land. Is this where the City will also have to build a retaining wall as per the note on the plans: PATHWAY, FENCE & RETAINING WALL (IF REQUIRED) SUPPLIED AND INSTALLED BY CITY OF CASTLEGAR.
I read in the proposal (a different area that will require a retaining wall behind building #1 under Variance Request #3 – West/Interior side - “……The steep bank which would result in more excessive retaining walls (+/- 12 Feet instead of the currently proposed 8 Feet) with the associated extra project cost becoming increasingly and unmanageably expensive.” So, more retaining walls means more expense for the city. Has the city accounted for the possibility of this added expense if they need to do more retaining walls?
When you look at the drawings and the proposed look of the buildings it looks like there is a dark pink line that shows where the retaining wall is necessary at the back of building 1 but Building 2 also has this dark pink line on three sides of the building. Does that mean the three building walls will be the retaining walls for this area of the property? It is hard to tell from the pictures. The pictures also do not show the lay of the land very well. If you look at page 22 of 26 it shows how steep the land behind the buildings is. There is almost no green area for the owners to enjoy because they will feel like they are in a hole with the hill just pressing in on them. Six more families in that area is just too much for the now dead end street to hold. I disagree with allowing this property to be rezoned for multifamily dwellings and it should retain the single family zoning.
Subsequent Additional Please add this picture to the submission. It was taken this Submission morning May 3, 2021 at 9:49 in the morning. After all of the children are in school. A typical day on this portion of 8th Avenue. You should see the number of cars that pass through the intersection of 8th Street and 7th Avenue the only exit from this portion of 8th Street. I should have taken a video of that traffic.
Adjacent Property Owner After a great deal of thought and speaking with neighbours Submission received May 17, I believe that the lowing income housing units should be 2021 and not included in placed in south Castlegar. There should be no way that original Council package another low income housing until should be placed in North Castlegar, especially on the 500 block of 8th Street.
We already have Maranatha Court right beside us and we do not need another low income unit in our area. It’s time to share these low income units with the rest of Castlegar, more specifically south Castlegar.
The place where the proposed units are going up would be taking a large amount of green space away from our neighbourhood and that is not acceptable. The green space has many benefits including habitat for small creatures and birds. Our neighbourhood already has a large low income housing unit and that is all this area needs at this time. The proposed site as well is in a very odd place and it would look very out of place as it would be crammed into a very small area. There would be way too many people crammed into this small little area.
We do not support this housing unit being built in this area at all. Please build it elsewhere and share the wealth with south Castlegar. North Castlegar has enough low income units as we have Arrow Lakes, 11th Ave/5th St low income units, Maranatha Court, and the units behind Safeway. We do not want another unit in our area as well as it will bring down the housing prices in our area.
This is clearly not acceptable.
