Subject: Tidemark Theatre - Grant in Aid Advances

Recommendation:

That Council approve the request from the Tidemark Theatre Society for an advance of the Grant in Aid in the amount of $25,200.

Discussion:

The letter requesting an advance is attached.

In the past we have advanced funds equivalent to 1/ of the previous years grant for the first two quarters of the year.

Last years grant was $100,800 and 1/ of that amount would be $25,200.

The Community Charter provides that a simple majority vote for the granting of money will suffice.

Conclusion:

Council's decision in this regard will permit us to respond to the request.

Df N 32 DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER PLANNING SERVICES

File: OCP-04-11 / ZON-04-15 TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: February 2, 2005 SUBJECT: Discovery Bay (Merrill& Ring) -OCP and Zonin Amendment

Recommendation: 1)That Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3148, 2004 (Merrill and Ring Lands - Conceptual Development Plan) to designate the subject lands Heavy and Water Based Industrial, Greenways, Commercial/Residential, and Rural 2 units/hectare, and to include Appendix L: Conceptual Development Plan for Discovery Bay, receive 1st and 2d reading and proceed to public hearing. 2) That Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3149, 2004 (Merrill and Ring Lands) to create the Rural residential zone (RR - 2) and the Commercial seven zone (C - 7), and to rezone the subject lands to the Rural two zone (RU - 2), the Rural recreation zone (RR -1), the Rural residential zone (RR - 2), the Greenways one zone (G - 1), the Commercial seven zone (C - 7), and the Industrial two zone (I - 2), be deferred pending submission and approval of appropriate Servicing Plans for development of the area.

Council Policy: Existing Official Community Plan, Section 6.1 6.1 URBAN RESIDENTIAL CONTAINMENT POLICIES Over and above the growth management provisions described above, is a defined boundary beyond which urban residential areas are prohibited. This is to underscore the need for the community to utilize its land resource to accommodate growth so as to: protect important natural areas; ensure a density sufficient to provide urban services efficiently; prevent sprawl that consumes rural forest lands. 6.1.1 Urban growth is contained within the boundary shown on Map 6-1, Campbell River Growth Options. 6.1.2 All residential development (with the exception of rural subdivision) is confined to areas within the Urban Containment Boundary. 6.1.3 Sanitary sewer service extensions will be limited to areas within the Urban Containment Boundary. 6.1.4 The Urban Containment Boundary may only be changed as part of a comprehensive Community Plan Review in which the community's goals are reassessed as part of the plan amendment process (see Chapter 19). 6.1.5 The Regional District of Comox Strathcona will be encouraged to adopt a Regional Growth Management Strategy complementing that of Campbell River.

P. (Applications - PlanningkOCP-ZON COMBO - OZCIOCP-04-11-ZON-04-15 Discovery Bayldraft Report to Council.dot 2/2/2005 Existing Official Community Plan, Section 7.5 7.5.2 Rural Acreage (4 ha, 10 acres+) Rural land parcels exceeding 4 hectares are primarily found in the various Regional District of Comox- Strathcona electoral areas surrounding Campbell River. In keeping with this pattern, additional subdivisions of acreage to the minimum lot size within the municipality will be permitted only when it is shown that public servicing costs will be minimal. Generally, however, there shall be a disposition against further rural acreages. 7.5.3 CountryResidential (0.5 ha, 2 acres) New country residential housing may be permitted in the municipality up-tcla arnaximu n-of 5% of the total lot inventory in situations where sites are not within the urban growth containment areas. Existing Official Community Plan, Section 12 12.2 RURAL RESIDENTIAL Rural residential development and subdivision is not proposed within the plan area. Such developments are more appropriately situated in the Regional District of Comox-Strathcona. Existing development shall however, be acknowledged on Plan maps. Country residential development and subdivision (.75 ha minimum lot size) may be appropriate in specific areas (Chapter 7, Residential). There shall, however, be a general disposition against such subdivisions in lieu of development within the Regional District.

Proposed (Draft) Official Community Plan, Section 6.3.5 Rural Residential There are rural residential developments on Gordon Road and on Argonaut Road that are not served by either community water or sanitary sewer. Further development in these areas, is restricted or otherwise limited by their status in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Further expansion of these areas for rural residential development is generally discouraged. However, consideration may be given to some limited infill development where it can be demonstrated that the lands may be properly serviced, and subject to approval of the Agricultural Land Commission. The Merrill and Ring lands that were recently amalgamated into the District pose a special challenge for the District. These lands have tremendous potential as a result of the views over Discovery Passage. Potential exists for expansion of further industrial development adjacent to existing industrial sites at Middle Point and at Menzies Bay. Other potential exists for commercial resort and for recreational development, as well as for "up-scale" residential development. However, since this property is primarily rural in nature without community water and sanitary sewer, servicing will be a major consideration prior to development, along with highway access. As a result, proponents will be required to prepare and establish an overall conceptual development plan to demonstrate how the lands should be developed, to be incorporated by amendment into this plan. Consideration may be given to development of this area as a "test case" for alternative development standards. Summary: The subject lands were annexed into the District of Campbell River early in 2004. The landowners have now requested amendments to remove the subject lands from the Regional District of Comox Strathcona Official Community Plan (OCP) designation and zoning, and include into District of Campbell River OCP policies and zoning. The landowners have expressed a desire to develop a mixed rural, seasonal and resort residential community with outdoor recreation, natural areas, a golf course, as well as tourist related commercial uses, over a ten to twenty year period. They also intend to develop portions of the subject lands for industrial purposes adjacent to existing industrial lands.

Page 2

P: (Applications - PlanninglOCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-04-11-ZON-04-15 Discovery Bay draft Report to Council. dot The applicants are seeking to develop a rural residential community with lot sizes ranging from 0.1 hectare to 0.4 hectare (quarter acre to one acre); a resort village with tourist accommodation, limited service and retail uses; and, a tournament quality golf course. The far south and west areas of the planning area are intended for industrial uses consistent with existing uses in those areas. The overall development proposes approximately 800 residential units phased in over a 10 to 20 year period. Discussion: Review of existing Official Community Plan policies are not very encouraging for this type of development. However, those policies were prepared at a time when these lands were outside of the District's jurisdiction and within the Regional District. Now that the lands have been annexed into the District, there is a need to reconsider the land use policies that were previously prepared by the Regional District, and determine an appropriate set of guidelines for future development or preservation of these lands in relation to plans for the overall development of lands within the District Review of all comments resulting from the circulation process identifies that issues and concerns are primarily technical related to the servicing of the development. Planning Services Staff support the concept for the long-range development of the area, and are encouraged by the plan submitted. In this regard, the concept for development has all of the elements of a distinct community with areas for employment, commerce, housing, recreation, and open space areas for environmental preservation. However, Planning Services Staff also share the same concerns over servicing wherein a more detailed servicing plan is needed to clearly demonstrate that the plan as put forward can be properly serviced without becoming a long-term liability to the District.

As noted in the comments sheets, Engineering Services has the same concerns about the servicing of the development, and has requested specific wording be included in the conceptual development plan policies, i.e. regarding water supply, sanitary sewage and storm water management (which revisions have been completed). The Fire Department has expressed concern regarding distance of this development from existing fire stations, and has requested policy revisions to require provision of fire sprinklers in all buildings greater than 37 square metres (400 square feet) building floor area. The Advisory Planning Commission (APC) has expressed support for the development concept based on recommended approval of the OCP amendment, but also recommended deferral of the zoning amendment pending completion of more in-depth servicing / infrastructure plans. Ministry of Transportation has not expressed any objection to the development. Communication: The applicants held a neighbourhood public meeting on January 25, 2005 at Discovery School in the Painter Barcley area. The results of that neighbourhood public meeting are included with the attachments to this report. 2d Should Council agree to approve 1St and reading for the OCP amendment, a formal public hearing will need to be scheduled, resulting in advertisement in the newspaper plus circulation to neighbouring property owners.

Conclusion: The applicants have submitted a nice concept for the overall development of the area. However, more work is needed to identify how the development is to be serviced. In the submission, the applicants have identified that the servicing will be not be a financial burden to Campbell River, but they have not clearly identified how the servicing is intended to work. As a result, staff are willing to recommend moving forward with the Official Community Plan amendment, but prefer to take a cautious approach with the zoning at this time until a proper servicing plan can be prepared. In this regard, staff are reluctant to move forward with determination of minimum lot sizes until such time as the service plan is completed and Page 3

Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment Application Comment Sheet

File: OCP-04-1IIZON-04-15 DATE SENT: December 17, 2004 CIVIC ADDRESS: Island Highway No. 19 near Race Point

We have received an application for an Official Community Plan and a Zoning Bylaw Amendment and would appreciate your comments. If we do not receive a written response by January 7, 2005 (3 weeks from mailing), we will assume your interests are unaffected.

PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:

Date received: BUILDING STAFF COMMENTS:

Date received: Servicing Issues: ENGINEERING STAFF The Comprehensive Development Plan submitted with the COMMENTS: application proposes that all development will be serviced on-site (both provision of potable water and management of sanitary Date received: Jan 10/05 sewage) but offers no details as to how these services are to be provided, operated and maintained. The Comprehensive Development Plan shall state that prior to any development or subdivision, detailed servicing plans that are acceptable to the District shall be submitted for the provision of potable water and for the management of sanitary sewage. In addition, the Plan shall clarify the responsibility for the preparation of an acceptable Liquid Waste Management Plan, if required. The servicing plans will identify how the services are to be provided, operated and maintained and how the construction of such services are to be phased. In addition, the servicing plans will identify all existing infrastructure upgrades and/or extensions that may be required to service the subject lands and will also identify how these 'off-site' improvements will be funded.

The Comprehensive Development Plan shall state that prior to any developmentand/orsubdivision, an IntegratedStormwater Management Plan (ISMP) will be prepared for the subject lands. The ISMP will be submitted to the District for approval and meet the following stormwater management goals:

1. Establish policies that maintain, restore and enhance the natural watershed characteristics while meeting P: (Applications - PlanninglOCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-04-11-ZON-04-15 Discovery BaylCOMMENTS SHEEI.doc engineering, environmental and land use needs; II.Protectthecommunityfromflooding,erosionand destruction of private and public property; III.Promotecommunitydevelopment whilerecognizing neighbourhood values and unique characteristics of the area, and IV.Integrate engineering, planning and environmental solutionstothebenefitof each watershedor sub catchment.

The ISMP shall also:

1. Document the existing condition of the subject lands and define each sub catchment area including a biophysical inventory, and existing and future land use patterns; II.Identify the required stormwater management infrastructure and land use policies necessary to ensure the protection of residents, property and the aquatic habitat; III.Ensure that stakeholder interests and senior environmental agency support for the study recommendations is balanced with the social and economic interests of the community, and IV.Be adaptable and if required updated prior to each phase of development.

New or improved access is proposed along Highway 19 at three different locations. Approval for access is subject to Ministry of Transportation approval.

While the Comprehensive Development Plan submitted with the application provides objectives and policies that would support alternative modes of transportation including walking, cycling, transit and golf carts, the attached plan should identify these alternative transportation networks including where andhow access will be provided across Highway 19 and to the foreshore. Further, the Comprehensive Development Plan shall reference foreshore/waterfront access requirements for docks or proposed marine traffic access and egress (as per draft Bylaw 3149, Map Schedule 1) and shall also identify how public access will be maintained to the foreshore.

The proposed zoning for the residential component is rural which would require roads built to rural standards. The Comprehensive Development plan makes provisions for consideration of alternative standards. The applicant should be aware that the District is currently undertaking a review of all standards and that the rural standards that apply for works and services may change as part of this alternative design standard process.

Environmental Issues: The Conceptual Development Plan shall contain provisions to ensure that prior to any development or subdivision of the subject lands a detailed environmental assessment (EA) is completed. The EA shallinclude mapping and assessment of watercourses, wetlands and ephemeral drainages. Where watercourse features are identified, setbacks must be established that are consistent with the District's Greenways (Streamside Area) Bylaws. The EA also must identify and make recommendations for the protection of any wildlife habitat features (ecological greenways) that may include: avian, ungulate or mammalian breeding, nesting of forage sites, and provincial or federal rare and endangered plant species.

The Comprehensive Development Plan shall state that any on-site

400 - 535 Thurlow Street Vancouver B.C., Canada V6E 3L2 TO (604) 689-8200 Fax (604) 224-2497 debriefing notes: Discovery Bay public meeting Date: -2005-January 25 From: 4:30 to 7:30 PM Location: Discovery Passage Elementary School

Mike Jorden, Jorden Cook Associates Rich Stevens, Highland Engineering Ltd. As a requirement of the OCP application process, and on To Do: Who: behalf of Merrill & Ring, the applicants held a public meeting in the activity gymnasium, Discovery Passage Elementary School on Pengelly Street. Notices of the meeting were distributed approximately one week earlier by direct mail drop to adjacent property owners in accordance with a list provided by the municipality.

1. An estimated 25 persons attended the meeting and the same number signed the sign-in sheet [attached]. Attendees were encouraged to study the presentation boards, discuss them with the owners' representatives and fill out and submit comment sheets.. As the majority of the attendees arrived in a group at the beginning of the meeting, a short presentation and question/answer session was held between 4:30 and 5:30 PM after which the session reverted to an open house format.

2.General reaction to the proposal was very favourable with no comments received in opposition to the concept. A number of specific suggestions and concerns were given about aspects of the plan both in the meeting and in the two comment sheets received to date. These are summarized below.

3.An improved water system and fire protection for Race Point are preoccupations with most attendees. Representatives explained that any project on Merrill & Ring lands will have a competent water utility that will probably beturned over to the District of Campbell River. The District would then determine the conditions under which Race Point would be permitted to connect to the system. 4.The existing Race Point water system is based on surface water intake from Barron Creek. Although this watershed is designated on the concept plan as protected open space, concerns were expressed about the possibility of contamination from the golf course upstream and from construction. Representatives explained that current golf course management practices minimize the use of pesticides that can leach into downstream watercourses. Nevertheless, it is suggested that at the detailed planning stages this potential problem can be avoided through storm water management design, diversion of golf course drainage to a different catchment area or pulling back the course from the northern extremity of the site.

5. Neighbouring residents requested that no direct connection be made to the Race Point road system to minimize intrusive traffic. Representatives stated that the road system was designed to offer the possibility of connection and that alternative access for emergency vehicles was a prudent option to consider. Several residents suggested that an emergency connection with removable bollards or a gate was a preferred solution. 6. Property owners adjacent to the Discovery bay site requested that a green belt buffer be provided next to properties accessed from Raceway Road. [To be considered at detailed planning stage].

7.Access points to the Island Highway were questioned by some residents.It was suggested that the new leg to the intersection with the Highway at Race Point Road was potentially unsafe and should be relocated.It was also suggested that a new intersection be considered between the main entry proposed and Race Point Road. [To be considered at detailed planning stage].

8.Additional information on sewage treatment when available was requested.

"Appendix L: Conceptual Development Plan for Discovery Bay 1.0Introduction The Discovery Bay development area is located at the northern boundary of the District of Campbell River. The site is located along the coastline and straddles the Island Highway. The Discovery Bay development plan area is 326.25 hectares (807 acres) in size: 154 hectares (-382 acres) is located above the Island Highway, and 172.25 hectares (-425 acres) is located between the highway and the coastline. A further 671.2 hectares (1658.5 acres) above the highway is intended to remain as long term managed forest. The Discovery Bay Context Map (see next page) identifies proposed land uses under the CSRD Menzies Bay Official Community Plan. The site is bounded on the east by the coastline of Discovery Passage. Forestry activities occur on rural resource lands to the west of the site. North of the site is the Menzies Bay coastline. The Race Point community is on the north-east corner of the site, where Menzies Bay and Discovery Passage meet. The Barron Creek watershed, which serves the Race Point community, is located in the northern portion of the site, immediately south of Race Point. Agricultural Land Reserve and Industrial lands abut the site from the south. Discovery Bay is well serviced by the Island Highway, which bisects the site. Campbell River will not be burdened with provision of urban services to this rural resort village: water and sanitary sewage infrastructure will be provided on-site.

File: OCP-04-09 / ZON-04-13 TO: Administrator FROM: Planning Services Manager DATE: February 2, 2005 SUBJECT: Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan - Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw Amendment Recommendation: THAT Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No.3140,2004 (Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan - 2050 Cheviot Road and 2365 QuinsamRoad)receive 1St and 2nd reading and proceed to public hearing; and THAT Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 3141, 2004 (Sequoia Springs West - 2050 Cheviot Road) receive 1St and 2d readings and proceed to public hearing. Council Policy: Official Community Plan (*see Appendix H - Sequoia Springs Kingfisher Creek Comprehensive Development Plan). Summary: The applicants have applied to amend the existing Comprehensive Development Plan for that portion of the subject lands east of the new Inland Island Highway (Highway 19). The portion west of Highway 19, is not proposed to be changed from what was previously approved in the comprehensive development plan. They have also applied to amend the zoning to implement the development concept. The original concept for the subject area consisted of a mix of single-family homes and patio home complexes, plus recreational and environmental greenways along the creek area. It also proposed a pedestrian bridge across Highway 19. The revised concept for the subject area proposes to extend the adjacent golf course through portions of the subject lands, plus revise the residential development, including elimination of most of the original single- family development i.e. to be replaced by a "gatedcommunity"consisting of low-profile patio home housing oriented to the retirementcommunity.The changes also propose elimination of the public recreational greenways adjacent to golf due to concerns of vandalism on the golf course, but retention of other greenways with some flexibility over detailed location. Based on concerns raised by EngineeringServices,the proposal also retains the long-term potential for the pedestrian bridge over Highway19,but relocated to the other side of the Kingfisher Creek to keep public away from the golf course area. Background: The existing comprehensive development plan for the subject area was adopted in April of 1998 following a lengthy review period and revisions to the original submissions. No development of the subject lands has proceeded to date,however,the applicant has expressed a desire to proceed with development of a revised concept for the portion east of Highway 19 as summarized above i.e. development of two separate "gated communities",extension of the existing Sequoia Springs golf course into the area to lengthen the existing golf course (to regulationlength),conservation of private green space adjacent to the Kingfisher Creek area, and retention of long-term options for the trails and potential pedestrian overpass over the highway.

P: (Applications - Planning\OCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-04-09-ZON-04-13 2365 Quinsam Rd (Report to Council - Dec 21-04.doc 2/2/2005 Discussion: Referral of the subject application brought a variety of comments as noted from the attached comment sheets. In this regard, the Greenways Land Trust raised concerns regarding potential chemicals from the golf course running into the creek (which is being dealt with within the associated environmental development permit), but otherwise seemed to support the changes. Further, the Ministry of Transportation had no objections to the changes (including removal of the pedestrian overpass), subject to "no access to Highway 19". A second set of comments was received from the Ministry of Transportation following request for them to revisit their comments in the event the District opted to retain the option for the pedestrian overpass. As noted, the Ministry did not provide any firm commitments, only to clarify that they would not permit the landowner to construct and maintain the overpass. Further, the District would have to apply for the Ministry's permission, and would take sole responsibility for the construction and maintenance without financial contribution or assistance from the Province. The School Board was provided opportunity but chose not to comment on the application. Internally, as noted from their second comments, Engineering Services has expressed their willingness to support the changes as requested subject to "re-instatement of the pedestrian overpass and linkage between the West Kingfisher Village and the western limit of Cheviot Road". This prompted further discussion with the applicants regarding the potential for retaining the option for provision of the greenways trails and the potential pedestrian overpass. The applicant has agreed to support the recreational greenways initiative and pedestrian network and contribute to the costs providing the District agrees to a fixed financial contribution from the developer based on number of building units, and assumes responsibility for constructing and maintaining the pedestrian network, including retention of the option for the pedestrian overpass. These terms will be brought forward to Council in bylaw format to authorize a Development Services agreement in accordance with Section 937.1 of theLocal Government Act. Communication: A Neighbourhood Public Meeting was noticed and held November 17, 2004 at the Campbell River Community Centre, as outlined in the attachments wherein concerns and issues for the overall development are identified. If successful for1stand 2d reading, further notification by newspaper advertisement and direct mail out will be provided for the public hearing. Conclusion: Planning Services staff did not initially support retention of the pedestrian overpass due to concern for excessive costs and added liability to the District, or for retention of greenways trails through an environmentally sensitive area. However, they do support the amendments as outlined with retention of the long-term option for providing the pedestrian network, by way of agreement with the applicant, including the District assumption of responsibility for construction and maintenance of the facilities, and subsequently recommend consideration of approval for 1St and2dreading and scheduling for public hearing.

A major water transmission trunk main runs through a portion of the subject property and appears to conflict with portions of development within the Treelane Village area - prior to any further subdivision or development the applicant shall ensure that development is located an appropriate distance from this watermain so that in the event of a watermain break, there exists a safe overland flow route, that there is minimal risk to life or property, and to ensure that ample access for repair and maintenance by District crews is available. Where the watermain can not be located within public rights-of-way, the applicant shall ensure that a statutory right-of-way, acceptable to the District of Campbell River is registered on title so as to ensure the protection of the main. Given the size

P: (Applications - Planning\OCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-04-09-ZON-04-13 2365 Quinsam R& COMMENTS SHEET.doc of the existing watermain and the potential consequences of a rupture, the District will not consider the typical 3m SROW within development.

The proposed comprehensive development plan does not identify a pedestrian network through the subject lands. Prior to any further subdivision or development, the applicant shall be responsible to develop a pedestrian network plan, acceptable to the District of Campbell River, that provides for connectivity between the urbanized areas and the adjacent greenways. The plan shall identify pedestrian connectivity throughout the subject lands and shall also identify how connectivity to adjacent lands will be achieved. Particular attention is required to providing pedestrian connections between adjacent lands and the proposed Ripple Rock School.

The proposed OCP amendment removes the originally proposed pedestrian overpass across Highway 19. Engineering Services does not support this change. A pedestrian connection between the Fairway Village/Treelane Village and the West Kingfisher Village is required so as to provide pedestrian access, cycling access and emergency/service vehicle access (via light vehicles). Without this link, residents will have little choice but to drive around via Highway 28/Highway 19A to access the other portions of the development or adjacent lands. This is not consistent with the transportation goal or principles contained in the current draft OCP that support development of multi-modal transportation systems, nor does it address the pedestrian connectivity needs associated with the neighborhood school.

The proposed plan identifies emergency access to Highway 19 from West Kingfisher Village, but does not identify alternate emergency vehicle access to Fairway Village. Given the size of the strata lots, the length of the proposed internal roads, and the limited access alternatives, emergency vehicle access must be established to the Fairway Village whether via Highway 19 or otherwise.

Environmental Issues: The proposed OCP and zoning amendment does not trigger any senior government concerns/action under the District's Environmental MOU and it appears to respect the required known streamside setbacks. However, the applicant shall be responsible to undertake a comprehensive environmental assessment necessary to identify any environmentally significant features within the subject lands (including those identified in the provincial wildlife act). Any future subdivision or development within proximity to the environmental features shall be subject to the requirements of the streamside protection bylaw and/or the recommendations-of the QEP report.

The District has previously entered into an agreement with the developer to undertake some related stormwater/environmental improvements along the Kingfisher Creek within and outside of the subject lands. The terms and conditions of this agreement should be reviewed to establish any outstanding commitments.

Prior to formalizing a response to the application, engineering services would request a meeting with planning and finance to review the issues collectively. Ron Neufeld Jan 5/05 Further to our meeting yesterday afternoon, I would suggest the following wording regarding the pedestrian linkage for inclusion in your report to Council:

"That approval of the application be conditional on the re-instatement of the pedestrian overpass and linkage between the the West

P: (Applications - PlanningDCP-ZON COMBO - OZCOCP-04-09-ZON-04-13 2365 Quinsam RdICOMMENTS SHEETdoc Kingfisher Village and the western limit of Cheviot Road."

It may be advisable to also require that the timing and cost-sharing of the pedestrian route be formalized via agreement at this stage as well so that we are not revisiting this again in another 10 years.

A BYLAW OF THE DISTRICT OF CAMPBELL RIVER TO AMEND THE CAMPBELL RIVER OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN, BYLAW 2555, 1996. WHEREAS pursuant to Part 26, Division 2 of the Local Government Act in relation to Official Community Plans, the Council of the District of Campbell River is empowered to establish objectives and policies to guide decisions on planning and land use management; AND WHEREAS a Public Hearing was held in accordance with the Local Government Act and notice of such Hearing has been given as required; NOW THEREFORE the Council of the District of Campbell River, in open meeting assembled, enacts as follows: 1.This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 3140, 2004 (Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan)". 2.That Schedule "A", Land Use Plan to the "Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 2555, 1996" be amended by redesignating that part of District Lot 66, Sayward District, lying south of the south boundary of Plan 2596, and west of the west boundary of Parcel B (DD 490061) of District Lot 66, except those parts included in Plans 11137, 12046, 14662, 16401, 28574, 30911, 3304 RW and VIP69094 as shown on Map Schedule 1 attached herein and forming part of this bylaw. 3.That Appendix H - Sequoia Springs Kingfisher Creek Comprehensive Development Plan be deleted in it's entirety and replace as follows: "Appendix H - Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan

The Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan area is approximately 82.7 hectares in size, and located northwest of the Quinsam Heights area and west of the Campbellton area, where it straddles the new Inland Island Hwy. The Sequoia Springs golf course lies adjacent to the south boundary. Fairway Drive and Cheviot Road neighbourhoods, and the proposed Cheviot Road School, are immediately east. The Haig Brown conservation area is located immediately to the north. In 1995, the Ministry of Transportation routed the Inland Island Highway through the property, reducing the land area from the original 94.5 hectares. Kingfisher Creek and associated natural drainages and areas are also part of the property, which resulted in the need for careful planning of environmentally sensitive areas, roads and servicing. The Sequoia Springs and Kingfisher areas have been identified as areas planned to accommodate future growth in Campbell River within the urban residential containment boundary. Their location allows easy access to goods and services in the downtown area.

1.0 LAND USE The overall development has potential for between 600 to 800 residential dwelling units to be phased over a minimum 10-year period. The plan proposes a mix of low to medium density residential housing and ranging from single-family dwelling units to multi-family dwelling units, including patio homes, townhouses and apartments. The overall gross density (which includes roads and greenways areas) is between 7.5 to 9.7 units per hectare. Overall net density (minus roads and greenways) is between 14.5 and 19.3 units per hectare.

P:\Applications - Planning\OCP-ZON COMBO - OZC\OCP-04-09-ZON-04-13 2365 Quinsam Rd\OCP BYLAW 3140.doc OfficialCommunity Plan AmendmentBylaw No. 3140, 2004 Page 2 of 2

The overall development plan allocates approximately 25% of the property for single- family residential, 25% for multi-family residential, 10% for roads, 40% for greenways including park area and the area proposed for expansion of the golf course, and less than half of one percent for a limited neighbourhood commercial site. Three distinct residential areas are proposed, including Fairway Village and Tree Lane Village on the east side of the Inland Island Highway, and West Kingfisher Village on the west side of the highway. Land uses shall be zoned and developed in accordance with the general uses set out in Map D - 1 attached herein. In additional to single-family residential dwellings, two-family residential dwellings and/or single family residential dwellings with secondary suites may be considered in the designated low-density areas subject to site-specific rezoning. Multi- family and intensive residential developments, as well as commercial developments, shall be subject to development permit requirements as set out in the commercial and residential chapters in the official community plan. Further, developments in proximity to the designated "streamside areas" shall be subject to environmental development permit requirements as set out in the environmentally sensitive area chapter in the official community plan. 2.0 GREENWAYS The conceptual development plan has a generous allocation of environmental and recreational greenways, which coincide with the Kingfisher Creek drainage system, and a wetland enhancement area that complements the adjacent Haig-Brown Conservation Area. A large portion of the property is set aside as environmental greenways along protective setbacks from the Kingfisher Creek drainage system for the protection of aquatic habitat. The Local Government Act requires a development with a subdivision of more than three lots to dedicate 5% of its land to parks. The proposed greenways areas significantly exceed this amount. However, most of these lands are environmentally sensitive and therefore unsuited to development, or for use as active parkland. The specific location of parkland dedication areas for active parkland use, are as generally shown on Map H - 1. However, the District also has a long-term desire to construct a pedestrian network through the site, including potential for a pedestrian overpass. The pedestrian network will include a system of trails and walkways, located within the greenways area including: Cheviot Road to Treelane Road; Spruce Street to Marwalk Road; Cheviot Road to the Inland island Highway along the north perimeter of the east branch of the Kingfisher Creek; from the Inland Island Highway along the statutory ROW to the corner of Quinsam and Nursery Road; and from the Inland Island Highway to the West Kingfisher Village street network. The specific location of the pedestrian network, including trails, walkways and the potential pedestrian overpass shall be determined at a later date prior to construction. Proponents for development also have the option of donating sensitive lands in the greenways areas that are in excess of the 5% parkland dedication requirements and generally unsuited for development or use as active parkland, to the Crown, the District, or a private land trust acceptable to the District. 3.0 ROAD NETWORK The road layout pattern shall be as generally shown on Map H -1: Sequoia Springs / Kingfisher Conceptual Development Plan. The District will consider phased bare land strata plans in those areas shown on the conceptual development plan where "strata lots" or "patio homes" are shown. However, land area for each distinct strata corporation shall require direct access to public road, to otherwise avoid one strata corporation requiring easement for access and servicing across another strata corporations lands. Further,

alternative access for emergency purposes only shall be provided for both Fairway and West Kingfisher Village area, subject to approval of the Ministry of Transportation unless other alternatives can be provided by agreement on other private lands.

4.0 SITE SERVICING For servicing, separate service areas may be established for development both east and west of the Inland Island Highway. Prior to any subdivision approvals in each of these areas, proponents shall provide a servicing plan for each service area to identify how the overall development in each service area is to function for provision of community water, sanitary sewer and storm water management. Further, prior to approval of any phase of development, proponents shall provide a servicing plan for each phase that is consistent with the overall servicing plan.

File: TO: Administrator FROM: Clerk DATE: February 2, 2005 SUBJECT:Raven Park - Trail Exchange

Recommendation: That Council: 1.give first three readings to Raven Park Exchange Bylaw No. 3156, 2005, 2.establish March 21, 2005 as the deadline for receipt of elector responses against the Alternate Approval Process; 3.establish 1,665 as the total number of electors for the District of Campbell River; and 4.adopt the elector response form attached to the Clerk's February 2, 2005 memo.

Background: During construction of the walking trail on Raven Park topographical considerations resulted in the realignment of the trail to adjacent lands.This was done with the approval of the property owner. Bylaw 3156 authorizes the exchange of the area where the trail was developed with the portion of park.

Discussion: The authority to dispose of park land is included in section 27 of the Community Charter, which requires park sales or exchanges to receive the assent of the electors. Assent of the electors can be obtained by wither a referendum or the Alternate Approval Process (formerly referred to as Counter Petition) (formerly referred to as Counter Petition) under section 86 of the Community Charter. The process requires that Council: establish a deadline for receiving elector responses, establish the elector response form. (If the number of elector responses is less than 10% at the deadline Council may proceed with the adoption of the bylaw.), and make a fair determination of the total number of electors. The number of electors has been determined by adding the number of registrations at the 2002 election to the number of persons on the list of electors. This amounts to 16,646 electors 10% or which is 1,665.

Communication Action: The Alternate Approval Process will be advertised in a local newspaper.

Respectfullyubmitted,

Dear Mayor Nash,

Each year the Vancouver Island Society for Adaptive Snowsports (VISAS) holds the Herb Bradley Coca Cola Classic on Mount Washington. The purpose of this event is to raise most of the money we use to offer our program to over 400 people with disabilities, most of them from the area.

We have learned, not to our surprise, that Herb's passing has effected our ability to attract teams to the event. In order for us to enjoy the level of support that we have experienced in the past, we are investigating different ways to attract public attention to our event.

To that endwe have an idea for anevent,within anevent,that would generate a few moreteams and somepublicity. To do this though,we would require your assistance. We would like the city of Campbell River to enter a team with you as a participant or coach. We would ask you then to challenge the mayors of Comox, Courtenay, and Cumberland, our local MLAandMP,and the Wing Commanderof CFBComox to meet with your team on this snowy field of honour,so tospeak. Thisis a great chance to settle old grudges and maybe start a few new ones. The Society would, of course, provide a trophyto the winnerof theMayor's Challenge.

The Herb Bradley Coca Cola Championship is a "Guesstimation Race." Teams register for $250.00. Each team of three members, and one disabled athlete (provided by the Society) to make four, compete on a simple course to finish in a time closest to their estimated time. After the race we gather for lunch, free ski a bit and then have an awards ceremony. A lift pass and a meal are provided to every team member along with some goodies. A tax receipt is issued to each team for the amount received by the Society, after the cost of the meals and the lift tickets, usually about $160.00.

The additional revenue and publicity would be of great help to us. The chance for some of your people to get out and play with their constituents would be fun for them too.

We have asked Tom Clarke, an instructor with our Society, to present this proposal to you and answer any questions that you might have. Minister of the Environment Ministre de I'Environnement

His Worship Mayor Lynn D. Nash District of Campbell River 301 St. Ann's Road Campbell River BC V9W 4C7

Dear Mayor Nash:

Thank you for your letter of November 8, 2004, clarifying an error in Environmental Petition No. 112, which was submitted to the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development by the Sierra Legal Defence Fund.

I acknowledge your correction of facts, and note that the District of Campbell River does, indeed, employ secondary treatment for its wastewater. Please be assured that this error did not affect the content of the federal government's response to the Petition.

The District of Campbell River is to be commended for installing and operating its secondary treatment system so effectively.I trust that the District will continue its efforts to protect our environment.

On December 4, 2004, I published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, two instruments related to municipal wastewater effluent: 1) a Notice Requiring the Preparation and Implementation of Pollution Prevention Plans under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) for Inorganic Chloramines and Chlorinated Wastewater Effluents, and 2) a CEPA Guideline for the Release of Ammonia Dissolved in Water Found in Wastewater Effluents. As a participant in the consultation activities related to the development of the risk management instruments for ammonia and chlorine, Mr. Douglas Raines, of your District, will be receiving an information package on this subject, in the near fulule.

I appreciate your bringing this matter to my attention, and trust that the foregoing is helpful.

Yours sincerely,

Stephane Dion Caada The Corporation of THE CITY OF NORTH VANCOUVER 141 West 14th Street North Vancouver, BC V7M 1H9 Telephone: (604) 985-7761 Fax: 604-985-9417 Email: [email protected] E-MAIL CORRESPONDENCE

Recommendation: That Council receive the 2004 Annual Report for the Development Liaison Group.

Council Policy: Bylaw No. 2720 requires that each commission prepare an Annual Report for Council.

P. IPLANNINGIPau1I2005 DLG Annual Report.doc 1/18/2005 To: Mayor and Members of Council for the District of Campbell River From: Chair and Members of the Development Liaison Group ("DLG") Date: January 14, 2005

Subject: DEVELOPMENT LIAISON GROUP 2004 ANNUAL REPORT

During the early part of 2004, the Development Liaison Group concluded, for the time being, its focus on frontage improvement requirements. As noted in past reports the ongoing review of frontage improvement requirements surfaced a much greater degree of complexity in attempting to revise the frontage improvement bylaw than was initially believed. Part of that complexity lies in the fact that it became apparent as the process went on that one set of construction standards throughout the District may not be desirable. Accordingly, a presentation was made to Council in March, recommending that an independent alternate construction standards review take place. Council accepted the recommendation, and set aside an initial budget, following which Terms of Reference for the alternate standards review were drawn up and the work tendered.

As a separate matter, the sub-group of the Development Liaison Group, originally formed to consider in greater detail issues to do with barriers to development in the Quinsam Heights area, met several times early in 2004 to discuss existing frontage improvement construction standards for infill development to do with roads, power lines, sidewalks, landscaping and street lighting. These discussions resulted in recommendations for the adoption of construction standards policy amendments in May, which amendments were subsequently accepted. These amendments are intended to be on an interim basis, pending the outcome of the alternate standards review and until the bylaw can be amended.

The Development Liaison Group also considered and made suggestions on: building and subdivision requirements formulated in response to changes in Provincial legislation concerning floodplain hazards; the District master transportation plan; the Environmental Action Plan proposed in response to the Provincial Streamside Protection Regulations.

The development community brought forward a set of concerns to do with the policy for standards for sidewalk construction, adopted in 1998, which mandated an offset from the curb. The outcome of discussion over these concerns was summarized in a memorandum to the District Administrator, and as a result interim (pending the results of the alternate standards review) changes responsive to the concerns raised were introduced.

Starting at its April meeting, the Development Liaison Group examined proposed changes to the Official Community Plan emerging from an internal review, setting aside a portion of each meeting to respond to particular segments of the draft revisions to the OCP as presented by the Planning Services Manager, which discussions resulted in detailed recommendations and suggestions.

The Building Bylaw adopted last year was brought up for review. Some of the changes introduced, for example, several of the circumstances in which an engineer's certification is required, were felt to be onerous. A sub- group is being formed to discuss its impact in greater detail.

Toward the end of the year, a review of the Strategic Servicing Plan which established the Development Liaison Group was conducted, and a report of the current status of the implementation schedule for recommendations made with the Plan is attached. It is noted that one such recommendation calls for a comprehensive review of the Strategic Servicing Plan every three years, then first such review to be conducted in 2005.

Dear Mayor Nash:

Thank you for your letter of November 4, 2004, concerning Fraser River sockeye and the post-season review now underway.

I share your concerns regarding the low escapements of Fraser River sockeye. On October 20, 2004, I announced a post-season review of southern British Columbia salmon fisheries.It will be conducted through the Integrated Salmon Harvest Planning Committee, and headed by an independent chair, Mr. Brian Williams. Mr. Williams was Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of British Columbia from 1996 to 2000, and has particular expertise in all forms of alternate dispute resolution - including mediation and arbitration.

The post-season review will also provide for public input. The intent of this review is to evaluate where, why, and to what extent conservation and fisheries management goals have not been met, and to make recommendations for the future. That mandate does not require the broad legal powers set out under theInquiries Act.As well, I do not feel that the large additional cost and the significant time that would be required for a legal inquiry are warranted. The review process that has been announced will be open, independent, and fair, and I am confident that it will provide useful and timely advice for the future management of the salmon fishery.

Thank you again for writing.I appreciate receiving your views.

Yours truly,

Dear Members of Council

Kinsmen and Kinettes play a vital role in Canadian society. We raise funds for worthy causes, large and small; we undertake ambitious service projects to meet local community needs; we offer leadership training to individuals who yearn to make positive changes in both their country and their personal lives, and we proudly demonstrate to the rest of the world that we love being Canadian.

Once a year, Kinsmen and Kinettes ask various municipal, provincial and federal representatives to help us maintain our high level of service by placing a 'Message-of-Support' in KIN Magazine, the magazine received and read by every member of our national non-profit organization for the past 85 years. These 'thank you' messages give you the opportunity to express your appreciation to Kin members who have raised funds and donated countless hours to serve the needs of fellow Canadians and the communities they call home.

Last year, in almost 600 locations throughout the country, our members raised an estimated $15 million in the name of community service. We accomplished this incredible feat by doing what we do best - being charitable neighbours. Whether it was holding barbecues, telethons, home lotteries or seasonal fairs, Kinsmen and Kinettes turned their dedication into dollars wherever and whenever desperate need demanded. For the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a truly deserving organization and one that has been at the receiving end of Kin generosity for 40 years, members' efforts this past year resulted in $1 million in needed research funding.

Kin Canada needs your support for our annual 'Message-of-Support' campaign so that our members can continue to provide assistance to the many groups, organizations and individuals that rely on us. By helping to build arenas, we are helping to build communities. By supporting blood clinics, food -banks and telephone hemlines. we are supporting our neighbours- Rv fighting ng tlis like cystic f roses an mu ip a sclerosis, we are tignttng ar a rigger future - for the thousands of Canadians who live with these afflictions.

Your 'Message-of-Support' is a valuable investment in nearly 9,000 of your country's hardest- working, most committed volunteers and an investment in your own communities. We ask that you please show your support by completing the enclosed order form and returning it today.

We thank you for your consideration.

Yours in Kin,

Dear Mayor:

Re: Order of British Columbia -' 2005 Call for Nominations

It is time once again to "call for nominations" for the Order of British Columbia, the Province's highest award for excellence and outstanding achievement.

Dear Minister:

Re: Welfare Legislation - EmploymentandAssistance

At their meeting on January 13, 2005, Victoria City Council endorsed the following recommendation from the Committee of the Whole Meeting of December 16, 2004:

WHEREAS in April 2002 the Provincial Government announced new welfare legislation in the Employment and Assistance Act; and, this new act outlined a dramatic program of welfare restructuring that include cuts to benefits and tightening of eligibility rules; and deep cuts have also been made to the Ministry of Human Resources' operating budget;

AND WHEREAS the Provincial Government announced on February 5, 2004 additional exemptions tothe two-years-out-of-fivewelfarerule,but these changes do not go far enough in meeting the needs of the poorest people in the province and those that are already struggling to deal with the impacts of other provincial program and service cuts;

AND WHEREAS the changes towelfareeffectively download provincial responsibility for people in need onto municipal governments as more hungry and homeless people are forced to seek food, shelter, and community support in our neighbourhoods, streets and parks;

.../2 The Honourable Susan Brice January 18, 2005 Page Two

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Victoria City Council calls on the Provincial Government to change the Employment and Assistance Act to ensure welfare benefits meet the basic needs of individuals and families; and further, Victoria City Council urges that the Provincial Government make thesechanges including:

benefit rates be re-instated and increased (support, shelter allowance and crisis grants); easing the eligibility for child care subsidies; reserving the requirement that single parents seek work when their youngest child reaches the age of three; ending the three week wait for new financial assistance applicants; abandoning the two-year independence test; refraining from privatizing financial assistance delivery or computerized financial assistance determination; and rescinding the law imposing welfare time limits.

FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that Victoria City Council urges the Provincial Government to end the centralization of employment and assistance field services, so as to prevent barriers to assistance access by keeping physical services within the local community.

Should you have any questions in regard to this matter, please contact Karen Ramsay, Community Development Planner, at (250) 361-0366.

Dear Mayor Lynn Nash and Council:

Re: BC Hydro2005 Integrated Electricity Plan: Vancouver Regional Workshop

BC Hydro is seeking input from First Nations, stakeholders and the general public in the development of our 2005 Integrated Electricity Plan (IEP), which outlines how we will meet the province's future electricity needs.

To help us fully understand and appreciate your perspectives and priorities related to meeting future electricity needs of our customers, we invite you or a representative from your organization to a one-day workshop.

The workshop is scheduled for: Coast Discovery Inn, Campbell River, Friday, February 18, 2005, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

IEP workshops are being heldaround the province. In addition to the workshop planned for Campbell River, workshopsare scheduled for Nanaimoand Victoria.

BC Hydra is interested in your input on issues such as reliability, costs and social and environmental impacts of future energy options. Information collected at Regional Workshops throughout B.C. in February and March will frame and inform the discussions of the Provincial IEP Committee. Follow up Regional Workshops will be held later in 2005 to provide an update on the progress of the Provincial IEP process and to solicit additional feedback.

To allow for an interactive discussion, the workshop size will be limited. We request one representative per organization.If you plan to attend the workshop, please confirm with our Vancouver Island Community Relations Office at (250) 755-7173 or vancouverisland.communitvrelations( bchvdrn c by Friday, February 4, 2005.

JAN 1 9 200510:52 AMFR HC HYURU 41H FL_UUF t (::)Z) (1 e)6IL)a 1 eeteaoa r oe

To minimize the financial impact of participating in the Regional Workshops, BC Hydro will cover expenses for participants who qualify. More information about our Participant Funding guidelines will be provided in the pre-reading materials and are available on BC Hydro's website.

If you are unable to participate in the Regional Workshops, but would still like to get involved in the 2005 IEP process, I invite you to attend the IEP Public Information Session.

Public Information Session: Coast Discovery Inn, 975 Shoppers Row, Campbell River Quadra/Cortes Room Thursday, February 17, 2005 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The purpose of this session is to inform the public about the process and elicit broad public input to be used developing the IEP.

We sincerely hope that you or a member of your organization can contribute to the workshop and participate in dialogue around integrated electricity planning. We also invite your comments at any time as to how we can improve upon our stakeholder engagement process.

If you have anyquestions, Stephen Watson orI can be reachedat (250) 755-7173. Additional information about the 20051EPis availableon our website at www.bchydro.com/iep.

2005IEP First Nations and Stakeholder Engagement Opportunities

Information Sessions Public Information Sessions on the Integrated Electricity Plan will take place the evening before the Regional Workshops (outlined below) to allow broad public input to be considered in the planning process. These Public Information Sessions will be advertised in local newspapers.

Technical Resource Options Workshops For those interested in the technical aspects of resource options being considered in the IEP, several Technical Resource Options Workshops will be held in Vancouver for interested First Nations and stakeholders, The first one was held on December 7, 2004. Information on the subsequent ones is available by contacting BC Hydra's IEP team at (604) 623-4056 or by email at iep.2005bch dro.com.

First Nations A series of information sessions and workshops designed specifically for First Nations involvement will be conducted. First Nations will be contacted directly by BC Hydro with further details on these sessions, First Nations are encouraged to participate in all of the engagement opportunities.

Regional Workshops Regional feedback on issues including reliability, costs, social/environmental impacts, etc. will be collected during Regional Workshops being held throughout the province. BC Hydro will hold these full day sessions in early 2005 and the information collected will help frame and inform the IEP and the discussions of the Provincial IEP Committee (see below). Workshops will then be held later in 2005, again at various locations throughout the province, to describe how the IEP process is progressing and to solicit further feedback. The input we receive during these Regional Workshops will be documented and provided for information to the BC Utilities Commission in the 2005 IEP.

Provincial IEP Committee The Provincial IEP Committee will examine in greater detail a range of interests, preferences and priorities around electricity options and energy planning. This Committee will be comprised of approximately 17 members, from groups including First Nations, parties who intervene in BC Hydro regulatory proceedings, the public at large, and BC Hydro representatives. An initial meeting occurred on December 14 and 15, 2004 with the remaining meetings to follow in 2005_

Dear Mayor Nash:

Thank you for your letter of November 8, 2004, clarifying an error in the Environmental Petition No. 112, which mistakenly identified the District of Campbell River as dumping sewage into the ocean with only preliminary or primary sewage treatment. I regret the delay in responding.

I understand your concerns and appreciate your efforts to set the record straight about the way in which the District of Campbell River properly treats its sewage. Please be assured that this error did not affect the content of the government's response to the Petition.

At this time, I wish to applaud the District's foresight in developing a long-term plan for the use of biosolids from the Norm Wood Environmental Centre. I understand that several pilot projects are underway to evaluate the feasibility of the beneficial reuse of biosolids in forestry, land rehabilitation and agriculture. The outcomes of these initiatives could lead to a sustainable, cost effective and environmentally friendly way to recycle treated biosolids.

Once again, thank you for bringing this issue to my attention.

Sincerely,

C-

TO: CITY MANAGER 2004 January 17

FROM: DIRECTOR PLANNING AND BUILDING OUR FILE: PL 31000- 0 DIRECTOR ENGINEERING

SUBJECT:RIPARIAN AREA REGULATION UPDATE

PURPOSE:To update Council on the status of the Riparian Area Regulation.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

THAT Council request that the Minister of Water, Land, and Air Protection extend the date that the Riparian Area Regulation comes into effect from March 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005.

2. THAT a copy of this report be forwarded to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities, member municipalities, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and the City's Environment Committee for their information.

REPORT

1.0 BACKGROUND

On July 27, 2004, the Province enacted the Riparian Area Regulation (RAR) to come into effect March 31, 2005. The RAR are directives under the Fish Protection Act that require local governments to identify and protect streamside areas.The RAR supercedes the Streamside Protection Regulation (SPR), that was enacted in January 2001.

Section 12 (6) of the Fish Protection Act notes that "on request by a local government, the minister may extend a time period" for the directives to come into force. The following report discusses the current timeline for implementing the RAR and recommends a request for extending that timeline.

2.0 RAR IMPLEMENTATION REQUIREMENTS

On releasing the RAR, the Province listed steps that needed to occur prior to March 31, 2005, including two meetings with the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) on October 15 and December 15, 2004 todiscuss preparednessfor implementation. UBCM has provided findings from these meetings in correspondence to Council (dated November 1, 2004 and December 17, 2004).These meetings and subsequent staff communications with the Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection (WLAP), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), and UBM indicate that several key items remain unresolved. These items are outlined in Table 1.

118 Planning and Building Department Re: Riparian Area Regulation Update 2005 January 17 ...... page 2

While some items can be addressed simultaneously, others are contingent on completion of other items.Based on Table 1, it appears that full resolution of all these issues by March 31, 2005 is extremely unlikely. In order to ensure smooth implementation of the regulation, a delay to the March 31, 2005 deadline is, therefore recommended.

Table 1:Items to be Resolved Prior to RAR Implementation

Item Status

1. Finalization of Assessment Methods. DFO has proposed some revisions to assessment methods. Revised assessment methods have not been released, or retested.

2.Cooperation Agreement between Draft outline prepared. Content to be developed UBCM, WLAP, DFO. and signed-off.

3. Resolution of implementation issues To be addressed through the 7 local government identified in Municipal Environmental pilot projects. These pilot projects have been Managers matrix, contained in June 14, delayed since October 2004, and are reported to 2004 Council Report (submitted to commence early 2005. WLAP June 2004).

3.0 CITY OF BURNABY STATUS FOR IMPLEMENTATION

The Riparian Area Regulation includes a provision that_allows_municipalities to "meet or beat" the regulation, for example, by implementing the Streamside Protection Regulation, so long as such regulations are put in place prior to when the RAR comes into force (i.e., March 31, 2005). Before making any recommendations on alternative measures to the RAR, staff have been awaiting finalization of the RAR assessment methodology, in order to fully understand the differences among the approaches. This finalization has not yet occurred, making such an evaluation uncertain.Staff are therefore concerned that the City is not in a position to recommend whether RAR should be fully implemented or an alternative approach be brought forward.

Under the current timeframe, staff are very concerned that the City is not prepared for RAR implementation.Implementation approaches are still unclear, as pilot projects, working groups, and Guidebook development are incomplete. Furthermore, ratification of co-operative agreements between UBCM, WELAP and DFO is needed to provide clarity with respect to roles and responsibilities for monitoring and enforcement. Potential exposure of local government to liability has been identified earlier through UBCM and needs to be resolved.

For these reasons, it is recommended that the City request the Province delay the date that the RAR comes into effect until December 31, 2005 to ensure that all issues are adequately addressed.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS

The Fish Protection Act allows local governments to request an extension to the timeline for Riparian Area Regulation implementation. Based on UBCM's review of the status of key outstanding items, it is recommended that Council request that the Minister of Water, Land, and Air Protection extend the date that the RAR comes into effect from March 31, 2005 to December 31, 2005,

RE: CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT: WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

POLICY UPDATE

The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) agreed in November 2003 to develop a Canada-wide strategy for the management of municipal wastewater effluents, which will address specific parameters and governance. The strategy is to be based on the following three cornerstones: a) Harmonization of the regulatory framework; b) Coordinated science and research; and an c) Environmental risk management model. The strategy is expected to be completed by December 2006, after which it will be implemented by each jurisdiction. Environment Canada intends to use a regulation under the Fisheries Act as its principal implementation tool to achieve effluent standards for wastewater treatment systems equivalent in performance to conventional secondary treatment, with additional treatment where required. The regulations will also address wastewater systems on federal and aboriginal lands.

Environment Canada on December 4, 2004 published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1, two instruments related to the municipal wastewater effluent strategy: a Notice Requiring the preparation and Implementation of Pollution Prevention Plans for Inorganic Chloramines and Chlorinated Wastewater Effluents (chlorine), and a Guideline for the Release of Ammonia Dissolved in Water Found in Wastewater Effluents (ammonia) under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (CEPA 1999).

The instruments for chlorine and ammonia have been established by Environment Canada to help protect Canadian waters and aquatic life from municipal wastewater treatment plant effluents. JAN, 25, 2005 6:39PM JBCM ilU, U4U r,Lt J

The intent of these new regulations is to require local governments to develop a pollution prevention plan, to deal with the substances identified, where the volume of effluent discharges is equal to or exceeds 5,000 m3/day (10,000 population or over). The plan must be developed by June 15, 2007 and be implemented by June 15, 2010.

The pollution prevention requirements will be established under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA), while the enforcement requirements for the new standards will be established under the Federal Fisheries Act. The strategy for these new regulatory requirements will not be completed until 2006.

2. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ISSUES

The federal government has not attempted to harmonize the requirements of the existing wastewater management plans in BC with their new requirements. Environment Canada has indicated that local government can use existing planning processes as long as at the end of the day they meet the standard that the federal government has established.

The costs to local governments in British Columbia of developing and implementing the new requirements under the Canadian Environmental Protection are not known. In one case it may mean amending existing pollution prevention plans to take into account the new federal standards. In other cases it may mean upgrading existing treatment facilities (i.e. from primary to secondary treatment) or making significant changes in the operation of the existing sewage treatment plants to address the new requirements, such as de-chlorination or processes to monitor/control ammonia discharges from the plant.

The general effect of the regulation may be that all local governments with a population of 10,000 or more will have to have a minimum of secondary wastewater treatment, with additional treatment where the receiving waters may require it.

The time frame to plan and implement the new requirement (2-5 years) may not be sufficient, particularly if major capital expenditures are needed to meet the new standards.

In addition, there is currently no link between the planning requirements under CEPA and the enforcement requirements under the Fisheries Act. There is the potential for different regulatory requirements to be established under the different legislative frameworks, as the federal document points out "preparing and implementing a pollution prevention plan under CEPA 1999 does not ensure compliance with the Fisheries Act." Local government requires some certainty as to what the requirements are it must implement if it is to operate its sewage treatment facilities to meet federal regulatory requirements.

3. LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT

The first notice on this issue was sent out to local government by UBCM on May 17, 2004, The first meeting between Environment Canada and local government representatives in Western Canada to discuss the role of local government in the process was held in Edmonton on June 10, 2004. JriR LJ, UUJ 0:,$yi!V1 UtSl1Vl Au, U4UU r,JI J

The UBCM has requested that Fred Nenninger, Program Manager, RegionalUtility Planning, GVRD act as the UBCM representative in this process. The UBCM hasassistedMr. Nenninger in setting up a small working group of staff representatives from a number of local governments interested in following this issue. The following local government representatives are involved in the working group: Fred Nenninger, GVRD (UBCM); Jerry Cheshuk, Whistler; David Blaine, Chilliwack; Laura Blaine, Capital RD; Dennis Trudeau, Nanaimo RD.

4. UBCM ACTION

The UBCM has written to the federal Minister of Environment outlining local government concerns regardingthe lack ofharmonizationby the federal with the province of British Columbia on wastewater management plans, the potential costs of implementing the new requirements, the time frame that has been established, and the need to link the planning and enforcement requirements.

UBCM has written the Minister of Water, Land, and Air Protection requesting provincial assistance in harmonizing the CEPA requirements in order to establish certainty and consistency in implementingthe federal regulatory requirements.
