WHEREAS a similar motion to this was passed in 2016 and was followed by repeated requests that the commissioner for peninsula municipalities make a presentation to Central Saanich Council;
AND WHEREAS Central Saanich has consistently asked for restored service to
route #75 that benefits businesses in lower Brentwood Bay and makes an important connection with the Mill Bay / Brentwood Bay ferry;
AND WHEREAS Central Saanich understands that high growth in the Western Communities tends to draw limited resources from transit, and yet we call for attention to Central Saanich’s outstanding requests for improved service;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the District of Central Saanich send a letter to the peninsula’s transit commissioner with the following requests:
1. That the Commissioner representing peninsula municipalities seek to restore the number of trips that do the Brentwood Bay loop, or at the very least, increase the number of trips from the current number that services the Brentwood loop (Verdier, Brentwood Drive and Marchant) so that workers and others in lower Brentwood Bay can reliably get to work and home (bus #75).
2. That the Commissioner representing the peninsula municipalities lobby for a transit stop at Mt Newton and Pat Bay Highway.
3. That the Peninsula’s Transit Commissioner consider making a visit to Central Saanich’s Committee of the Whole with the intent that Council and residents of Central Saanich can help the Commissioner represent the interests of Central Saanich at the Transit Commission.

Page 29 of 121 SCHEDULE “A” – SERVICES, STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
1. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Services” means:
• Create a Chamber Working Group (Committee) for this Service made up of a representative from each municipality, a Chamber Board member and Chamber staff. The working group would provide input about the deliverables and provide a close liaison with the Saanich Peninsula municipalities.
• Engage with the broader business community by organizing new public events of benefit to current and potential Saanich Peninsula based entrepreneurs, beyond those events provided to current Peninsula Chamber of Commerce members.
• Create educational experiences for the people invested in supporting businesses operating on the Saanich Peninsula.
• Collaborate with other agencies such as Sidney Business Improvement Area Association, First Nations communities, South Island Prosperity Partnership, Central Saanich EDAC, Victoria Airport Authority, Capital Regional District, BC Transit, School Boards, Province of British Columbia, and Government of Canada on projects of mutual interest.
2. Deliverables:
• Develop capacity and relationships within the various sectors of Saanich Peninsula based business and industry. Deliver a set of new events to the general business community, in collaboration with other local agencies and communities.
• Commercial or Industry Focused Tours:
Similar to the Chambers successful Tour of Industry, create half-day or full-day tours highlighting a particular segment of the local commercial or business community. Some possible segments to be considered for the tours include Tourism/Hospitality, Manufacturing, Wine and Spirits, Aviation, and Marine Services.
The purpose would be to improve awareness and understanding of each segment of the local economy and support its continued growth. Market the Tours to local business leaders, politicians, and other interested stakeholders with the goal of learning about the specifics of the businesses currently operating, identify opportunities and be aware of any challenges or impediments they are facing that may be removed.
• Workshops and Conferences:
Home Office Workshop. Our region has a vibrant, growing, and less-visible but important set of businesses, namely those that are operated from homes. Most successful businesses today can trace their roots to initial operations in a home office or shop. Highlight this diverse and vital part of the local economy by organizing one or more workshops. All local home-based business owners would be invited, as well as a wide variety of supporting businesses and community stakeholders. The purpose of the workshop would be for networking, education, and sharing successes and challenges. A trade fair or exhibit hall could be part of this offering.

Page 30 of 121 Local Career Education. Partner with local schools, colleges, universities, and industry to create educational opportunities about the exciting career opportunities available on the Peninsula, especially in the trades. Many students and educators are unaware of the rewarding and challenging careers available to them on the Peninsula. Employers are struggling to attract new employees. This initiative would build on the most recent Edu-Tech initiative held last year and create a strong and vital link between educators and employers.

Page 32 of 121 To: Jarret Matanowitsch, Director of Planning and Building Services April 01, 2019 For: April 08, 2019 Committee of the Whole Re: 6765 Veyaness Rd - TUP, OCP Amendment & Cannabis Retail Licence Referral - Cannabis Retail retail in the Keating Industrial area.
Council recently amended the Official Community Plan (OCP) to adopt a temporary use permit process for cannabis retail proposals. The OCP amendments included guidelines for cannabis retail, and designated those lands designated commercial/ mixed-use in the core commercial areas of Saanichton and Brentwood Bay Village and those lands designated arterial commercial within the Keating Industrial Area, as temporary use permit areas for cannabis retail. Although the subject property is within the Keating Industrial area, it is not within the area designated as arterial commercial; therefore, an application to amend the OCP to designate the subject property as a temporary use permit area has also been submitted.
Project Description There are two main multi-unit buildings on the subject property, one fronts directly onto Veyaness Road and the second is sited toward the rear of the lot directly behind the other building. The applicant proposes to use the ground level unit in the building fronting directly toward Veyaness Road for a cannabis retail location with a proposed business name of 'Bud's Cannabis'. The proposed unit for cannabis retail would be approximately 110 m² in total area, with half to be used as the retail area and half to be used for storage, a staff room and staff washroom. Exterior changes are limited to a new fascia sign, making the windows nontransparent (LCRB requirement), placing potted plants in front, and applying a fresh coat of paint.
The applicant has stated that they tried to secure a retail location with multiple commercial property owners on the Saanich Peninsula but have been unsuccessful. They estimate the need for 4 to 6 employees.
Site Context The site is zoned I-1 'Light Industrial' with a land use designation of Industrial in the OCP. The site is approximately 2,980 m² in area, relatively flat, and has two main buildings on site. Adjacent properties to the north, south and east are similarly zoned and designated for industrial use. Directly across Veyaness Road from the subject property is the boundary between industrial lands to the north, and properties zoned commercial to the south. The commercial properties across Veyaness Road are designated as Arterial Commercial in the OCP and as an area where a TUP for Cannabis Retail could be issued.
DISCUSSION: Official Community Plan Key policies and guidelines relevant to this application include the following:
5.2.5 Keating Industrial/ Business Area Policy 3 "Consider permitting a limited amount of industrial work-live and office/retail mixed-use buildings on the east side of Keating business park. However, under no circumstances will residential uses be allowed on the ground floor in this area."
Page 33 of 121 To: Jarret Matanowitsch, Director of Planning and Building Services April 01, 2019 For: April 08, 2019 Committee of the Whole Re: 6765 Veyaness Rd - TUP, OCP Amendment & Cannabis Retail Licence Referral - Cannabis Retail
5.2.10 Cannabis Production and Retail Policy 1 "Any new cannabis retail use shall be prohibited, except where authorized by a Temporary Use Permit in accordance with Section 11.8 (Temporary Commercial Use Permit Area) of this plan."
As noted above, the Official Community Plan (OCP) policies require new cannabis retail to authorized by a temporary use permit (TUP). The OCP contains TUP guidelines for this use, which are summarized in the table below. With the exception of the proposed location, the application complies with the guidelines.
Table 1: Cannabis Retail Guidelines Permits for cannabis retail should only be supported on OCP amendment required to commercially zoned land where retail is a permitted use. designate industrial zoned property as a TUP area Proposed locations for cannabis retail shall be a minimum of 100 m Complies from the property boundary of a school.

Restrictions on signage, vi. Measures to reduce nuisance or negative impacts, and Sign complies with LUB vii. Measures to ensure compliance with local bylaws, and provincial regulations and federal legislation.
Land Use Bylaw The site is zoned I-1 'Light Industrial', which allows for retail sales limited to: agricultural equipment, marine equipment, office equipment, construction equipment, garden and pet supplies, furniture and appliances, and tires. There is sufficient on-site parking available and no variances are requested.
Proposed signage has been provided (see attached) using the name "Bud's Cannabis" that would comply with the Sign Regulations. If for any reason the province does not accept the name, the alternative name of "Bud's Rec House" would be used.
Environment In accordance with the Environmental Management Act (EMA) the District requires Site Profile forms to be submitted with development applications to help identify potentially contaminated sites and determine if a site investigation is required. If the Ministry (Land Remediation Section ) determines that a site investigation is required then a Local Government cannot approve certain types of development applications until otherwise notified by the Ministry. For the subject property, Ministry staff have confirmed that based on previous site profile the property has been identified as contaminated and an independent remediation was proposed. At this time, the Ministry has a 'freeze' on development approvals, thereby prohibiting the District from approving applications for: zoning, development permits, development variance permits, demolition permits, and soil removal; as well as, the Approving Officer from approving subdivisions. As the application is for a TUP rather than rezoning, there would not be a conflict with the EMA.
Site Location As noted in Table 1, the proposed location is not consistent with the OCP guidelines. The property is zoned I-1 Light Industrial and designated Industrial in the OCP. Since the property is not within those areas designated for cannabis retail an amendment to the OCP is required to designate the land as an area where a TUP could be issued for Cannabis Retail.
The lands that have been designated for Cannabis Retail are commercially zoned properties in core areas. A concern with supporting stand alone retail uses on industrial zoned lands is the impact to, and decline in, lands for industrial uses that may result from gradual encroachment of non-industrial uses.
Page 35 of 121 To: Jarret Matanowitsch, Director of Planning and Building Services April 01, 2019 For: April 08, 2019 Committee of the Whole Re: 6765 Veyaness Rd - TUP, OCP Amendment & Cannabis Retail Licence Referral - Cannabis Retail
Industrial lands are vital to creating complete communities through the services they provide and generating employment. Protecting an industrial-zoned land base in an accessible, central location such as the Keating Industrial area is important for supporting more intensive land uses, and conversely, encourages other uses such as retail or office uses to locate in commercial core areas to help create vibrant communities with a range of services.
If the TUP is approved for three years and then renewed once, that allows for up to 6 years for the business to operate and determine its viability. Upon expiry of the renewed permit in 2025 there would be the following options:
1. The business owners may decide to relocate to a different site and they would be encouraged to pursue commercial retail sites in the identified core commercial areas that have been designated for this use. Relocating the business would require the new site to obtain a TUP and the province to refer a revised Private Retail License for approval. 2. The business owners, in conjunction with the property owner, could apply for a subsequent TUP for the same location. 3. The business owners, in conjunction with the property owner, could apply to rezone the property to allow for cannabis retail. This option could not be considered unless the Ministry of Environment provided notification to the District that the development 'freeze' is no longer in effect.
As noted above, the applicant has pursued this site as it has been the only available location where the property owner has agreed to lease space for this purpose. Although it is designated Industrial, the site is across the road from commercial zoned properties and policy 5.2.5 speaks to allowing some form of retail at this end of the Keating Industrial area. Approval of a TUP could provide up to 6 years for the business to confirm its viability, determine if any changes to the business operations are warranted, and allow for the District to assess any impacts from a new land use of 'cannabis retail'. Upon expiry of the TUP there is no obligation for Council to consider a more permanent change in zoning at this location, particularly if Council decides that protecting the industrial land base is paramount.
Since the proposed Cannabis Retail in this location would be permitted on a temporary basis, it would mitigate concerns about the erosion of the District's industrial land base. In addition, the site adjacent to existing commercial/ retail activity where a TUP for Cannabis Retail could be considered, therefore staff support this location on a temporary basis.
Temporary Use Permit Term and conditions in the draft TUP include: • Hours limited to 10 am to 8 pm, • Retail floor space limited to 60 m², • Signage is limited to one fascia sign as shown, • Cannabis production is not permitted on the property while the TUP remains valid.
Page 36 of 121 To: Jarret Matanowitsch, Director of Planning and Building Services April 01, 2019 For: April 08, 2019 Committee of the Whole Re: 6765 Veyaness Rd - TUP, OCP Amendment & Cannabis Retail Licence Referral - Cannabis Retail
Advisory Planning Commission The proposal was considered by the Advisory Planning Commission at their March 20 meeting where they supported the proposal. The APC also provided the following information in regards to the proposal: • this location would be better than being closer to a school property, • concern that this would set a precedent for other non-retail/commercial zones, • concern regarding retail in this location over the long-term, and • to request Council consider the character of the building and proposed signage to make it more attractive.
Staff comment: As noted above, the applicants propose to improve the site with a fresh coat of paint and placing potted plants in front. If more significant exterior improvements are required by Council an amendment to the form and character Development Permit may be required.
Page 37 of 121 To: Jarret Matanowitsch, Director of Planning and Building Services April 01, 2019 For: April 08, 2019 Committee of the Whole Re: 6765 Veyaness Rd - TUP, OCP Amendment & Cannabis Retail Licence Referral - Cannabis Retail
CONCLUSION: The District has received a referral from the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch for a Cannabis Retail store, and the applicant has submitted an application for a Temporary Use Permit to allow for cannabis retail in the Keating Industrial area.
The recent amendments to the OCP that introduced policies and TUP guidelines for cannabis retail designated the core commercial areas designated as Commercial/ Mixed-Use in Brentwood Bay Village and Saanichton Village, or designated Arterial Commercial in the Keating Industrial area for cannabis retail TUP's. Since the site is designated for Industrial land use in the OCP, an amendment is required to designate the property as an area where Temporary Use Permits may be issued.
The TUP guidelines for Cannabis Retail include that cannabis retail should only be supported on commercially zoned land where retail is a permitted use. A concern with supporting stand alone retail uses on industrial zoned lands is the impact to, and decline in, lands for industrial uses that may result from gradual encroachment of non-industrial uses; whereas, locating in core commercial areas can help create vibrant communities with a range of services. An advantage of TUP's is that it can provide a time period for the business to test its viability without entrenching the permitted use through rezoning. In this circumstance, Council may decide to support a TUP on this site, but indicate that alternative sites should continue to be pursued for a long term location.
Given the short-term nature of TUP's, staff support the proposal with the understanding that alternative sites continue to be pursued for a long-term location.
Respectfully Submitted

Dear Central Saanich Council,
I have heard that Central Saanich Council is considering the opening of a Cannabis store in the Keating district. I am writing to Counsil to say that I am ¡n favour of such a business. I would personally use this shop and I believe it would be a popular asset for others in the area as well. I hope that Central Saanich Council will approve the opening so that our area can have a more thriving and diverse business sector for the years to come.
Sincerely,

Mayor Ryan Windsor and Councillors District of Central Saanich 1903 Mount Newton Cross Rd., Saanichton BC V8M 2A9
Dear Mayor and Councillors,
Suggested Improvements to the Maber Flats Drainage Plan, Committee of the Whole, April 23 2018.
Over the last year I, and colleagues who participate in the Maber Friday Morning Birding Group, have had discussions with staff in which we have offered suggestions for improving this plan. The draft drainage plan as proposed fails to satisfy some of the guiding principles for management of the flats. Our proposals are advanced with the intent of improving the plan to better satisfy Council’s guidelines. Our proposals do not reduce benefits intended to be achieved by the draft drainage plan.
Our group, supported by Rocky Point Bird Observatory and Victoria Natural History Society, has made three principal suggestions for improving the draft plan, which have been submitted to staff. They are:
1. Surface water, including flood water, should continue to be retained and maintained on the flats from late Winter to early April. It should also be retained on parts of the flats until mid May, and in some areas for the entire year. 2. Provision should be made to temporarily store flood water on the flats at managed levels for the benefit of wildlife. 3. There is a need to be able to divert water from the creek onto the flats in winter, as necessary.
In the attached document (two pages) we more fully describe our suggestions and argue that each will significantly improve the achievement of the Guiding Principles for management of Maber Flats that Council recently re-affirmed. We believe none of our suggestions will compromise any of the guiding principles.
We write to ask that before approving the draft plan Council consider our suggestions. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Managing Water on Maber Flats in Winter
Summary
The flats are a significant over wintering area for waterfowl and for migrating shorebirds in late Spring.
At present flood water from Graham Creek, rainfall, and an elevated ground water table all contribute to surface water covering the organic soils of the flats for much of the winter. The draft plan proposes a single mechanism to facilitate removal of this water when desired. The plan lacks proposals for maintaining and managing the level of water on the flats. Wildlife thrives when water levels are maintained at near constant levels for significant time periods. At present there are extreme fluctuations of water level in response to weather conditions throughout the winter. We propose that simple mechanisms need to be included in the plan to enable management of water levels during the winter months.
The rationale for purchase of part of the flats by the District was to allow temporary storage of flood water, to mitigate down stream effects of floods, and to augment dry season flows to benefit fish and other wildlife.
Respecting the Guiding Principles recently reaffirmed by Council
The draft drainage plan as proposed fails to satisfy some of the guiding principles for management of the flats. Our proposals are advanced with the intent of improving the plan to better satisfy Council’s guidelines. Our proposals do not reduce benefits intended to be achieved by the draft drainage plan.
1. Agriculture: The drainage plan addresses the reduction of flooding and our proposals below are intended as an enhancement of the plan and do not conflict with it. The organic soils of the flats are dissolved and eroded when dry. A longer period of saturation as we propose will preserve the organic soils for longer. 2. Watershed Health and Management The more water that is diverted onto the flats and the longer it is retained on the flats the greater is the reduction in peak winter flows and the greater the increase in dry period flows. Our proposals would increase the amount of flood water temporarily stored on the flats and delay release of this flood water into the dry season. 3. Public Recreation and Education Implementation of our recommendations will create better wildlife viewing opportunities for longer periods of the year 4. Nature Conservation Our recommendations directly address three of these principles (overwintering habitat for migratory waterfowl, breeding habitat for wading shorebirds, and wetland ecosystems). Without implementation of our recommendations the guiding principles respecting nature conservation cannot be achieved.
Page 54 of 121
Recommendations
1. Surface water, including flood water, should continue to be retained and maintained on the flats from late Winter to early April. It should be retained on parts of the flats until mid May, and in some areas for the entire year.
Winter water levels should be of no concern to farmers so long as water is drained at an appropriate time in spring. We assume drainage of the District owned portion of the flats is directly related to drainage of adjacent private lands. Surrounding landowners/farmers would require a guarantee that water would be removed in time for crop planting in the Spring. In the Fall water does not accumulate until long after harvest, except in the corn field to the west.
2. Mechanisms to control water levels. At present flood water from Graham Creek enters the flats only through four side-by-side culverts under Willow Way. This outflow from the creek onto the flats reduces downstream flows and creates suitable habitat for waterfowl. Unfortunately, as the level of Graham Creek drops (which happens quickly as floods are typically short lived and intense) the flow through the culverts reverses and the flood waters on the flats empty back into the creek. In addition to the side-by-side culverts, there are three small pipes that allow water from the District owned land to drain back into Graham Creek. The rapid fluctuations in water levels resulting from this outflow back into the creek are detrimental to waterfowl use and greatly reduce the value of winter habitat.
We therefore propose that provision should be made to temporarily store flood water on the flats at managed levels for the benefit of wildlife. This can easily be accomplished by preventing the back flow from the flats into Graham Creek until draining the flats is necessary in the Spring. That drainage will be achieved by the proposed new drain.
3. As the level of Graham Creek has been recently lowered by the District (by dredging and drilling north of Stelly’s Cross Rd) there is now the possibility that in some winters no water would ever flow out of the creek onto the flats. Consequently, it is likely that most flood water will by-pass the flats and will be funnelled directly through the Creek to Centennial Park and further downstream. This situation risks destroying the channel improvement work undertaken by Peninsula Streams Society and accelerating bank erosion.
To ensure that temporary storage of flood water will continue to occur on the flats, there is a need to be able to divert water from the creek onto the flats in winter, as necessary. The District has proposed to make changes to the culvert which enables the creek to flow under Willow Way. We therefore recommend that design of a new culvert at this location should enable high flows to be diverted on to the flats, when necessary. This would continue to mitigate storm water floods which was the main reason the land was originally purchased by the District.

Re: 7054 Brentwood Drive - Upland Owner Consent - Renew of Foreshore Lease
RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council provide upland owner consent for the renewal of a Foreshore Lease for a period lasting until 2039, for the lease area associated with the property at 7054 Brentwood Drive (Rhodes Marina).
BACKGROUND: Rhodes Marina is a long standing small commercial marina in Brentwood Bay. The marina is planning to renew their foreshore lease with the Province to continue to operate the business. The province has indicated that they are moving toward longer term leases, therefore the proposed lease timeframe is until 2039.
As the District of Central Saanich is the upland property owner (Brooks Park), the Province requires that the District provide its consent for the foreshore lease. In this circumstance, the District is not providing an approval, but instead would be informing the Province that the District consents to the foreshore lease, like any other upland private property owner would need to under the same circumstances.

Page 61 of 121 To: Patrick Robins, Chief Administrative Officer April 10, 2019 For: April 15, 2019 Regular Council Re: 7054 Brentwood Drive - Upland Owner Consent - Renew of Foreshore Lease
The proposed lease area was surveyed in 2014 and is 1680 m² in area, which is larger by 407 m² than the previous lease area. The proposed lease area would include a small expansion of 154 m² at the seaward end, and realignment of the boundary to ensure all of the dock infrastructure is captured within the lease area. No changes to the dock are proposed, rather the proposed lease area would better capture the dock area that has existed and been part of the marina operations for years. Plans of the marina show this dock existed as early as the 1970's.
DISCUSSION: Rhodes Marina fronts onto Brooks Park, which is linear waterfront park which will serve as a waterfront trail in the future. Accept for a portion of Brooks Park to the north, the majority of the park remains unfinished. The proposed marina lease will not impact the future development of Brooks Park.
Staff have been working with the marina operator to address a number of issues prior to advancing consideration of the lease to Council.
(a) Encroachment Agreements
The marina lease area and associated property have a number of existing building encroachments onto municipal property. The dwelling at 7054 Brentwood Drive has a minor encroachment of approximately 0.73 m into the unfinished municipal lane that could provide future access between Brentwood Drive and Brooks Park.
The marina buildings and stairs that are in the foreshore lease area encroach into the unfinished area of Brooks Park which runs along the waterfront. This is an encroachment of approximately 5 m.
Encroachment agreements are managed by staff through the Engineering Department. Encroachment agreements are a legal mechanism used to ensure the municipality is not liable for any matter that may arise with buildings encroaching onto municipal property. One of the conditions of encroachment agreements is that the property owner must carry the appropriate liability insurance.
Staff have worked with marina operator to prepare the necessary encroachment agreements. These agreements are renewed annually. By granting these encroachments, it allows the buildings to exist on municipal property for a specified period of time of one year. The District is under no obligation to renew the encroachment agreements. Therefore, should Brooks Park be developed by the municipality in the future, the encroachment agreements would not be a hindrance to this occurring.
(b) Parking Covenant
The Land Use Bylaw requires a commercial marina to provide 1 parking space for every 2 mooring berths. The applicant has indicated that they have 9 mooring berths for the marina use. As there is no parking available for the marina within the foreshore lease area, parking for the marina is provided on the separate parcel at 7054 Brentwood Drive. The Land Use Bylaw allows for parking to be located off- site, as long as there is a legal mechanism in place to secure the parking in perpetuity.
Page 62 of 121 To: Patrick Robins, Chief Administrative Officer April 10, 2019 For: April 15, 2019 Regular Council Re: 7054 Brentwood Drive - Upland Owner Consent - Renew of Foreshore Lease
The land owner has been working with staff to draft a covenant securing that the required parking for the marina be located on the property at 7054 Brentwood Drive. This covenant will satisfy parking requirements of the Land Use Bylaw. The covenant would be registered following Councils consideration of the foreshore lease consent.
(c) Construction without Permit
During a site inspection for an Bylaw Complaint (unrelated to construction without permit), it was noted by District Staff that there was on-going construction without permit. A stop work order was issued, and the property owners worked towards submitted the necessary plans and building permit application to undertake construction in accordance with the BC Building Code and District Bylaws. The District has now received the necessary building plans, and construction can proceed in accordance with a Building Permit.
Staff has worked with the applicant to resolve the above matters, and this file is now at a point where Council can consider providing consent as the upland property owner for the marina's foreshore lease.
CONCLUSION: A part of the process for the Province to grant a foreshore lease, the applicant has to obtain consent from the upland property owner. In the case of the proposed Rhodes Marina foreshore lease, the District owned Brooks Park is the upland parcel, therefore the marina operator is seeking consent from the District in order to obtain the lease.
Rhodes Marina is a longstanding marina operation in Brentwood Bay. The proposed lease is considered a renewal, although with a small expansion to capture an existing dock which has been used by the marina operation since the 1970's.
Should Council grant consent to this foreshore lease, staff would forward this information to the Province for their consideration.
Respectfully Submitted

Re: Central Saanich Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw No. 1994
RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Central Saanich Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw No. 1994 be introduced and given First Reading. 2. That Central Saanich Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw No. 1994 be given Second and Third Reading.
BACKGROUND: Since 2017 staff have been working with the BC Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology (the Province) and other municipalities that are located on Vancouver Island to institute an Inter- Community Business Licence (ICBL) scheme that would permit a mobile business to purchase one business licence to legally operate within all participating municipalities on the island.
Central Saanich is currently a signatory to the Inter-Municipal Business Licence Agreement. This Agreement permits mobile businesses to purchase an intermunicipal business licence from a thirteen the of any within municipality legally to participating participating operate municipalities located within the Capital Regional District (CRD).

Page 66 of 121 To: Patrick Robins, Chief Administrative Officer March 29, 2019 For: April 15, 2019 Regular Council Re: Central Saanich Inter-Community Business Licence Bylaw No. 1994
The proposed Inter-Community Business Licence (ICBL) will allow those businesses whose work takes them to other jurisdictions throughout Vancouver Island, to purchase a business licence from a participating community which will be valid in all other communities that have adopted the associated bylaw (Appendix “A”).
Business licence analysis carried out by the Province indicated that expanded ICBL partnerships will support a significant number of mobile businesses throughout Vancouver Island by reducing unnecessary administrative burden, fostering positive intercommunity partnerships, increasing compliance and displaying business friendliness by not requiring the businesses to apply for multiple businesses licences.
In 2017, the Province requested business licencing data from both Central Island and CRD communities. The data indicated that approximately 10% of non-resident business licence holders purchased licences in both Central Island and CRD communities.
Statistics Canada indicated that over 32,000 businesses on Vancouver Island are in the construction sector alone. This number is the best figure that the Province has representing the total number of businesses that may be mobile in nature throughout Vancouver Island. If it is assumed that 10% of these businesses are working between Vancouver Island regions, then approximately 3,200 businesses could benefit from an ICBL partnership.
The CRD Inter-municipal Business Licence program has been in place since 2000 and the Central Island ICBL program since 2014.
DISCUSSION: FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The adoption of the Bylaw may lead to fewer overall non-resident business licence applications and fees to the District; however, a moderate increase in cost for an Inter-Community Business Licence should render the revenue change neutral.
The Province completed a thorough analysis of 2017 Metro West Vancouver business licencing data. The data indicated that an increased license fee of 12% supported revenue neutrality. The Central Island ICBL fee is currently $150.00. If that current fee is increased by 12% and rounded up to $170.00, the proposed Vancouver Island-wide ICBL fee should maintain existing business licence revenues.
CRD communities propose to adopt the amended Central Island ICBL as attached and maintain the Inter-municipal Business Licence as a $100.00 option for local mobile businesses.

The Province will provide communication pamphlets from other ICBL agreement groups in British Columbia to help Vancouver Island ICBL communities develop and tailor their own communications for inclusion in their business licence renewal notices and raise awareness about their increasingly business friendly program.
The Province may also help communities raise awareness and celebrate the expanded program through a jointly developed news release.

The Municipality will continue to pursue revenue diversification wherever possible with the objective of maintaining a reasonable tax burden by maximizing other revenue sources and balancing the burden with user fees and charges where feasible.

The Municipality will continue to set tax rates to ensure tax stability by maintaining the proportionate relationship between classes and uniform annual tax increases, consistent with the previous year’s approach.
Permissive Taxation:
The Municipality recognizes that there are organizations in the community, which enhance the quality of life by providing worthwhile programs and services. It is in the best interest of the community that these continue. Given the lack of resources for some of these organizations, the municipality can support the community by providing a limited level of merit based grants and permissive tax exemptions each year. The Municipality cannot be expected to support those organizations the provide services which are in the area of responsibility held by senior levels of government.

In support of the District's densification plan and upcoming review of the OCP, I believe it is important for the District of Central Saanich to have direct communication specif,rc to the needs of our community with the Commission and in a manner where there is a level of public accountability through you, our elected representatives. Current routes, service hours and frequency are a significant barrier to many of us who use transit. For those with disabilities access is further hampered by inaccessibility and distance between stops and routes, and the HandyDART system treats the peninsula as second class. These are all issues that Council and the electorate of the District as part of the tax base that supports the transit system have a right to address in the context of our community. Thank you for considering councilor King's motion on Transit. I believe it is fair to request such a meeting and restoration of services, and that the Transit Commission's tesponse will be telling in their perspective of Central Saanich and its citizens as a growing community.

Her 21-year old son Corey bought his first motorcycle, a high speed 1000cc racing sport bike. He wrote his learners license on the same day. ln less than 24 hours he was involved in a fatal accident on the Malahat Highway. Unable to navigate the turn, the worst possible outcome was realized, From this fateful event grew a movement affectionately known as The Coalition of Riders Educating Youth (C.O,R.E.Y). This alliance was organized by a mother who vowed to change an outdated system of motorcycle laws in an effort to advance motorcycle safety initiatives. Over the past 14 years C.O.R.E.Y has been working with the Government asking for them to give New Riders the Skills to have a safe ride. ln 20\6, C.O.R.E.Y started working with the RCMP and RoadSafetyBC, presenting to over 7,900 Grade 9 - 12 high schoolstudents in Northern and Central BC. The interactive discussion brings fullawareness of motorcycles to the new drivers as half of the deaths occur because the driver of the other vehicle does not see the motorcyclist. To further highlight the need of this program a recent statistic from the coroner indicates that there were thirty (30) motorcyclist deaths from January to July 20L8. This is a 114% increase over the number of motorcyclist deaths occurring from January to July 201,7. At the 2016 UBCM Conference the follow¡ng resolution was submitted by the District, and adopted by the North Central Local Government Association at the conference in Dawson Creek. Due to time constraints the resolution was not considered by the UBCM membership; however, it was endorsed post-conference by the UBCM Community Safety Committee: Graduated Licensins for Motorcvcles DISTRICT OF KITIMAT WHEREAS many changes and improvements have occurred regarding the operation of motorcycles including: increased fines for dangerous behavior while riding, mandatory approved helmet laws, and new seating regulations which require that the passenge/s feet must remain on the foot pegs to prevent children who are too small from riding as passengers; AND WHEREAS motorcycles make up three per cent of BC's insured vehicles, yet they are involved in approximately eleven per cent of all road fatalities: THEREFORE BE lT RESOLVED that the Provincial Government implement the final phase of the graduated licensing program for motorcycles including power restrictions and mandatory training. Page 96 of 121 As the program has not yet been implemented, The District of Kitimat Mayor and Council are requesting letters of support be written to the Province to finalize and implement the Graduated Licensing Program for Motorcycles (GLP-M), including Power Restrictions and Mandatory Training.

Newton X Road Saanichton, BC V8M 2A9 Dear Mayor Windsor & Council, ln the interest of keeping our shareholders informed and up-to-date on the Capital Region's emergency communications system, the following is a brief highlight of February's board meeting. As you know we are well underway on our technology renewal project. The "next generation" technology is replacing the existing 16-year old radio system that currently serves 50 emergency response agencies within the Capital Region. The new radio system is based on digital radio technology known as Project 25 (P25), which provides first responders with enhanced audio clarity and improved coverage among other operational and safety benefits. Phase 1 build-out of sites in the core is complete and agency cutover onto the new system has been underway since January. The cut-over process is coordinated on an agency by agency basis, and typically takes place quite quickly. Presently V¡ctoria police, Saanich police, Oak Bay police, Victoria bylaw, and University of Victoria security are operating on the new P25 network. We anticipate the transition for core fire departments to occur during the 2nd quarter of 2019. Phase 2 (Westshore & Saanich Peninsula), Phase 3 (Gulf lslands & Pacific Rim) will follow the same pattern, with an expectation that the new system will be complete by end of 2019. Site availability and build out are critical to the network timetable. Some of the sites in Phases 2 (Westshore) & 3 do not yet have final agreements in place. This is a prioriÇ over the coming months. As the region grows, as density increases, and as buildings get taller, it is of upmost importance for the CREST Board that our region's emergency communicat¡ons system continues to respond optimally in a rapidly changing physical landscape. To avoid un¡ntended, costly and serious Page 98 of 121 pubic safety consequences, it would be prudent to have CREST work pro-actively with local government planning staff to help inform planning decisions thereby ensuring that new development allows for uninterrupted communications for emergency providers within new buildings. The process of engagement with municipal staff has consisted of sharing of information, education and coordinat¡on. CRESTs general manager has discussed this issue at CAO regional forums to discuss ways of furthering this endeavor. Thank you in advance for your support. I have also enclosed a small primer booklet on CREST that you might find worthwhile With new council members coming on board as a result of civic elections last fall, we are more than willing to provide a short CREST update in person to Council or your committee of the whole. Please feel free to let general manager Gord Horth at [email protected] or myself know if you would like more information on the work of CREST.

Executive Summary The Province of British Columbia (BC) has committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 40% below 2007 levels by 2030, 60% by 2040, and BO% by 2050. ln BC, most GHG emissions come from creatíng and using energy. Major energy-related sources of GHG emissions include transportation, such as driving cars, and stationary combustion sources, such as heating buildings. New buildings can last for many decades and are diffícult, expensive, and disruptive to retrofit for renewable low-carbon energy solutions after construction. The sooner new buildings achieve near zero emissions, the fewer buildings there will be that require costly and challenging deep energy retrofits to achieve GHG reduction targets. While the BC Energy Step Code establishes a provincialframework for reducing energy use in new buildings, it does not explicitly address GHG emissions from buildings. As buildings represent up to half of GHG emissions at the community level, there is a need to develop an effective policy framework to achieve emissions reductions. The Climate Action Committee recommends advancing a resolutíon to the LMLGA and subsequently to the UBCM, calling on the Province to mandate GHG limits for new buildings as an enforceable element of Division B of the British Columbia Building Code (BCBC). The resolution also asks that the provincial goal in the CleanBC Plan "to make every new building constructed in BC net-zero energy ready by 2032'be revised to "make every new building constructed in BC net-zero energy ready and zero emissions by 2032". As the proposed resolution will support other BC communities in achieving GHG emissions reductions, the Climate Action Committee further recommends that localgovernment staff in BC be requested to advise their Councils to support the City of Port Moody's forthcoming resolution EDMS#459277 2 Page 101 of 121 RC - Agenda - 2019 03 12 Item 9.6 Report/Recom mendation to Council Union of BC Municipalities Resolution - Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings February 26,2019 "Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings" at the LMLGA May B-10, 2019 and UBCM September 23-27, 201 9 conferences. Background At the February 25,2019 Climate Action Committee meeting, staff provided a presentation on the BC Energy Step Code (Step Code), including an overview of GHG emissions modelling in relation to the Step Code, how greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI) is calculated, the reasoning for focusing on GHGs in new buildings, and introduced the proposed UBCM resolution (Attachment 1), After the staff presentation, the Climate Action Committee passed a resolution in supporl of the proposed UBCM resolution and seeking support from other municipalities. This resolution is included as the recommended resolution in this report. Discussion Climate Chanqe and Greenhouse Gas Emissions ln October of 2O18, the lntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published a special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5'C1 above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways. The report states that human activities are estimated to have caused approximately 1.0"C of globalwarming above pre-industrial levels and that global warming is likely to reach 1.5'C between 2030 and 2052 if it continues to increase at the current rate. Global warming reflecting current nationally stated mitigation goals until 2030 is estimated to result in global warming of about 3'C by 2100, with warming continuing aftenryards due to past and ongoing emissions. lmpacts on natural and human systems from global warming have already been observed as many land and ocean ecosystems and some of the services they provide have already changed due to globalwarming. ln addition, climate-related risks to health, livelihoods, food security, water supply, and economic growth are projected to increase with global warming of 1.5'C and increase further with 2"C and 3'C (Attachment 2). Warming from anthropogenic emissions from the pre-industrial period to the present will persist for centuries to millennia and will continue to cause further long-term changes in the climate system, such as sea level rise. The IPCC special repoft states that reaching and sustaining net zero global anthropogenic COz emissions is necessary to halt anthropogenic global warming on multi-decadal time scales. The IPCC advises that pathways limiting global warming to 1.5'C would require rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land, urban, and infrastructure, including transportation and buildings, and industrial systems in order to achíeve 45% GHG emissions reductions by 2030 and net-zero GHG emissions by mid-century. t https://wwvy.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploadslsileslZl2}lB/07/SR15 SPM versiorr stancl alone LR pdf EDMS#459277 3 Page 102 of 121 RC - Agenda - 2019 03 12 Item 9.6 Report/Recommendation to Council Union of BC Municipalities Resolution - Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings February 26,2019 ProvincialGoals The Province has committed to reducing GHG emissions by at least 40% below 2007 levels by 2030,60yo by 2040, and B0% by 2050, ln BC, most GHG emissions come from creating and using energy. Major energy-related sources of GHG emissions include transportation, such as driving cars, and stationary combustion sources, such as heating buildings. Building-related emissions account for almost half of community GHG emissions in most of B.C. As such, reducing building-related emissions can have a significant impact on meeting provincial and community GHG emissions reduction targets, New buildings can last for many decades and are difficult, expensive, and disruptive to retrofit for renewable low-carbon energy solutions after construction. The sooner new buildings achieve near zero emissions, the fewer buildings there will be that require costly and challenging deep energy retrofits to achieve GHG reduction targets. Low-carbon mechanical systems that provide space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water heating are available in the market today for all of BC's climate and building needs, Most low-carbon energy systems can be cost-effectively incorporated into new buildings. The BC Enerqy Step Code The BC Energy Step Code was introduced in April 2017 as a voluntary energy-efficiency standard in the Bntrsh Columbia Building Code (BCBC). As an optional compliance path within the BCBC, any builder can choose to build to the requirements of the Step Code, and local governments can implement bylaws or policies that require compliance with the Step Code. To comply, builders must use energy modelling software and on-site testing to demonstrate that both their design and the constructed building meet the energy efficiency requirements of the Step Code. The Step Code establishes targets for increasing energy efficiency of new construction, but does not explicitly address GHG emissions. Greenhouse Gas Emissions in BC Buildinqs Rapidly reducing GHG emissions is an important objective for BG and local governments to reach GHG emission reduction targets consistent with the science of climate change. While Step Code establishes a framework for reducing energy use in new buildings, it does not explicitly address GHG emissions from buildings. There are many examples of buildings constructed throughout the region using a variety of low-carbon heating and cooling systems. These include air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps, waste heat recovery systems, biomass systems, and solar collectors. There are multiple options for most building types including single-family, multi-family and commercial buildings, including building-scale and district energy systems. These systems are cost-competitive with more carbon-intensive systems, and can be reliably designed, installed, and operated. The City of Vancouver has requirements to limit GHG emissions in new buildings, and a number of other local governments have introduced Step Code policies that include a low-carbon energy system option with a lower step (including Surrey, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, and EDMS#459277 4 Page 103 of 121 RC-Agenda-201903 12 Item 9.6 ReporURecommendation to Council Union of BC Municipalities Resolution - Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings February 26,2019 the Township of Langley), while others are considering a similar approach. This low-carbon system "option" approach may result in more low-carbon buildings, but GHG reduction is not guaranteed, and a more rigorous and standardized approach is needed. ln order to better understand the relationship between energy efficiency performance and GHG emissions, as well as policy options, the Provincial Ministry of Housing and Affairs is commissioning a study to explore the range of possible GHG emission reductions in new buildings at each step of the Step Code in relation to common and/or emerging energy systems in buildings, and to provide policy options on how to optimize GHG emission reductions from new buildings. CleanBC Plan CleanBC, released in December 2018, outlines the Province's plan for a more prosperous, balanced, and sustainable future. CleanBC includes a target for GHG reduction for buildings of 40% by 2030, and notes the need for further electrification of buildings and support of low-carbon approaches. The CleanBC plan also recognizes the benefits of living and working in greener buildings, like greater comfort, lower energy use, and better air quality - both indoors and in communities. The plan establishes a goalto make every new building constructed in BC net-zero energy ready by 2032. However, CleanBC does not specifically outline a policy pathway to achieve the 40% target, nor state a long-term goal of zero-carbon buildings. Therefore, policies and regulations that achieve GHG reduction as well as energy efficiency are consistent with both provincial and local government interests. Encouraqinq Zero-Carbon Buildinqs Although population growth in PoÍ Moody has been moderate in the past, the number of development applications has increased with the addition of the Evergreen Line extension in recent years, making Port Moody an attractive and accessible location. With minimal opportunity for new development, redevelopment has become the focus. As redevelopment in Port Moody continues to grow, an opportunity exists to reduce community GHG emissions by ensuring replacement buildings are equipped with low-carbon solutions. There is no current governing plan or policy that outlines Porl Moody's targets or commitments to building-related emissions reduction. Localgovernments in BC are required through the Green Communities Sfafufes Amendmenf Acf (Bill 27) to include targets, policies, and actions for the reduction of GHG emissions in their Otficial Community Plans (OCP), Both the OCP and the Master Transportation Plan (MTP) refer to a community emissions database that is outdated, as well as an interim GHG reduction target of 10% below 2007 levels by 2017, that is past due. The City has identified a number of climate action goals and initiatives in the OCP that signal Council's commitment to a low-carbon buildíng stock, outlined in Attachment 3. EDMS#459277 5 Page 104 of 121 RC - Agenda - 2019 03 12 Item 9.6 Report/Recommendation to Council Union of BC Municipalities Resolution - Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings February 26,2019 Port Moody continues to show support for zero-carbon buildings by encouraging and prioritizing low-carbon development applications using the Sustainability Report Card, exploring early adoption of the Step Code, and leading by example through investments in energy efficient upgrades to civic facilities. Clear direction and leadership in climate policy will strengthen Port Moody's local green economy, and contribute to reaching climate change goals. Next Steps The Climate Action Committee is recommending to advance a resolution to the LMLGA and subsequently to UBCM, calling on the Province to mandate GHG limits for new buildings as an enforceable element of Division B of the British Columbia Building Code. The resolution also asks that the provincial goal in the CleanBC Plan "to make every new building constructed in BC net-zero energy ready by 2032" be revised to "make every new building constructed in BC net-zero energy ready and zero emissions by 2032'. As the proposed resolution will support other BC communities in achieving GHG emissions reductions, the Climate Action Committee recommends that local government staff in BC be requested to advise their Councils to support the City of Port Moody's forthcoming resolution "Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings" at upcoming 2019 LMLGA and UBCM conferences Other Options THAT the report dated February 26,2019 from the Climate Action Committee regarding Union of BC Municipalities Resolution - Greenhouse Gas Limits for New Buildings be received for information. Financial I mplications There are no financial implications associated with the recommendations in this report. Communications and Civic Engagement No communications or civic engagement initiatives are required by the recommendations in this repoft.

The City will develop a Community-wide Sustainable Building Policy to encourage the renovation of existing buildings and the creation of new development that meets a high standard of sustainable building performance with features that may include but are not limited to: (d) Passive building systems; (e) Energy efficiency technology; (f) On-site renewable energy technology; (g) District renewable energy systems; 5. The City will develop, implement and regularly update a community GHG and energy management plan as a means to plan for an energy-wise and low-carbon future where energy demand is reduced and needs are met through sustainable practices through the community and by sustainable energy systems (e.g., renewable, affordable, reliant, efficient, etc.). 10. The City will encourage the planning, design and construction of efficient neighbourhoods and buildings to minimize resource consumption, increase use of renewable resources, increase alternative modes of transportation, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare for climate change. 11. The City will encourage local low carbon energy systems, including district energy, as part of larger developments and within areas expected to experience significant redevelopment. 12. The City will encourage sustainable project development by applying the Sustainability Checklist, including energy considerations, to assess the relative strengths of a development proposal from a sustainability perspective and encourage the most sustainable project possible. 14. To encourage strong energy performance, the City will consider incentives for developers including variances, density bonusing, modified/alternative development standards or other appropriate mechanisms available under the Local Government Act. 15. The City will work to provide information to local developers, builders and homeowners about energy efficient building practices and available incentives and funding programs. a Review & Other C: fvlaYor & Councillors EDMS#459444 C: !'e Page 109 of 121 i '' i From: Walman, Bart TRAN:EX Ms. Cornwell, I am replying to your recent correspondence forwarding and reaffirming support and potential funding for the installation of bus stops at Highway 17 and Mount Newton Cross Road for passengers using BC Transit bus routes between downtown Victoria and Swartz Bay (routes #70 and #721. I can assure you that the Ministry has a priority to work in partnership with BC Transit and local governments to provide safe and effective transit services that people can rely on. As you may be aware, the Ministry is undertaking a comprehensive South lsland Transportation Strategy that will take a coordinated look at ways to relieve traffic congestion on the South lsland. We will explore all modes of transportation, including public transit, to improve traffic flow and move people more efficiently in this rapidly growing area of the province. This strategy will include Highway L7, and my understanding is that planning for the installation of northbound and southbound bus stops on Highway 17 at Mount Newton Cross Road is underway, and the Ministry has completed a preliminary design for these facilities, which proposes new bus pull-out lanes, passenger shelters and bus-activated priority traffic signals, to enable safe and efficient operations for transit buses, transit customers, and all vehicles using the intersection. The Ministry is currently reviewing potent¡al funding sources as part of establishing the business case for this project, and we will certainly consider funding set aside by the District of Central Saanich in future decision making on this project. Thank you again for providing this correspondence, and please do not hesitate to contact me anytime.

Newton X-Road lHwy 17 First & Last Name: Mark Burnham Phone Number: Address: 7957 Lochside Dr Email: Message: Hello, I am writing request to that our municipality ask BC Transit to add a stop at Mt Newton X Road & Hwy 17 for the 70 and 72 bus routes (regular commuter buses between downtown and Swartz Bay). Cunently these routes only makes stops at Mctavish interchange (North Saanich) and Sayward (Saanich) - making a distance o'Í 10.7 km between these stops, and comptetely bypassing Central Saanich completely. The construction at 'Marigold Lands' will add hundreds of new residents within 400m of this intersection. There are already medium-density apartment buildings nearby. And plenty of seniors- only complexes whose residents would benefit from an additional stop at this location. Especially as the residents continue to age in place, and lose the independence of their drivers' lícense. Another key reason to consider this is the Tsawout Reserve nearby. Adding useful transit service for our lndigenous neÍghbours benefit can only contribute to meaningful reconciliation efforts. I am aware of the Saanichton exchange bus service cunently in place, however it is not helpful to those of us who live on the lvater side' of the highway, This population is growing down here in Turgoose, and lwould love to be able to take the bus to work downtown without having to first dríve 6km North to Mctavish. I believe BC Transit perform will an assessment of the area at council's request. I would like to note that the intersection has new LED streetlights that have improved the visibility. And there appears to be enough room for bus stops in the right-tum exit lanes. (There is more room here at this location 1 Page 112 of 121 than there is at the Sa¡ruard Southbound bus stop on Hwy 17 - beside the Petro Can). The pedestrian overpass is already in place. Thank you for your consideration- adding a bus stop here would definitely make at least 1 person take the bus to and from work more often.

By way of background, I share with you the recent experience of the City of Maple Rldge, where on two separate occasións, we have been subjected to the Province's unilateral action to bypass local government autonomy and public process, inconsistent with our local zoning. ln May 2018, the Province of BC made application to the City of Maple Ridge to rezone provincially-owned propeities on LLl49 &. tIT6L Burnett Street (as referenced in ltern 1108 of the May 22, 2019 Council ir4eeting Report) to build purpose built supportive housing. Citizens attended a public meeting hosted by local Ml-As and presented a 1O,O0O name petition against thls applicatlon citing several considerations that made the site unsuitable including its proximity to a daycare, two schools, a seniors centre, and that the proposed model itself was inadequate to meet the complex mental health and addiction supporl rervices requlred, particularly persons comingfrom a camp environment, Followingthe public process, the City rejected the application. The Provincial Government responded to this decisíon by taking unilateral aciion-to install housing through the Rapid Response to Homelessness (RRH) program on a nearby provincially-owned site ón Royal Crescent, next to senior and low income housing, without any local consultation citing emergency measures were needed to ensure camp closure, which did not happen. Since this Council took office ln November 2018, we have taken swift and deliberate steps to address mental health and housing problems in our community, especially with regard to the ongoing presence of the St. Anne Campthatwasfirst established in May 2OL7.We have endeavored to open positive channels of communicatlon with the Province of BC to deliver a workable plan that addresses immediate and long term housing needs in our community, while respecting the views that have been clearly stated by local citizens. ThiJbegan with post-election meetings in October 2OL8 with our local MP, MLAs, Fraser Health Authority, BC Housing and related non-profit service providers followed by Council's development of a Strateg¡ô Plan which lñcludes directlon to establish a Communlty Safety Plan as a major tenet of this work' These steps have beerr followed up most recently with a meeting in Victoria on February 25, 2019 with Ministers we felt needed to be present to assist us in our plan, that being Ministers of Health, Mental Health and Addictions, Poverty and Housing to discuss a broad range of problems including housing affordability, delivery of addiction and mental health services, comm unity safety, and how we can move forward on these matters ln Maple Ridge. /2 City of MaPle Ridge 11995 I laney Place, À4aple Ridge , BrÌtislr Columbia V2X 649 CANADA Tclephone: 604-+63.5/71 .

Emai| [email protected] ' I'tvs'.mapleridge-ca Page 114 of 121 UBCM Member Municipalities April5,2019 Page2 On Monday, March 4, just one week after that meeting, I received a phone call from the Housing Mlnlster demanding that the City deliver a "social Housing Plan" within five days to address short and long term needs, incìuding provlding immediate housing to facilitate the closure of the St. Anne Camp, Council immediately passed a resolution and then delivered on thls request in seven days, with all related resolutions from Council to demonstrate our willingness and commitment to collaborate for a mutually beneficialoutcome. The Plan was lmmediately rejectecl bythe Province. The Province cited the unsuitability of the City's chosen property, despite City staff's assessment that the site could accommodate immediate housing ñeeds to achieve camp closure, One week later, Minister Robinson announced publicly that RRH housing woulcl be installed on Burnett Street, at the same location local residents and the previous Council had already reJected through the usuallocalapplication process. Maple Ridge Council is gravely concerned by this second instance of the Provincial Government overriding local autonomy. The initial 53 housing units installed on Royal Crescent did not end the St. Anne Camp as promised by the Province, with units populated by both camp residents and other homeless individuals identified by BC Housing as a regional housing provider. ln five months' time, the facility has experienced two deaths, and seen few movingforward as evidenced by statistics provided by the operator. lncreasing crlme atthis location, the St. Anne Camp, and allother low barrierfacilities in Maple Ridge indicatesthat the chosen model is not suitable to help people in a very serious state of poor mental health often coupled with slgnlficant substance mlsuse problems. Moreover, we have seen that other communities working to address closure of camps experienced similar results (e.g, Nanaimo, Victoria, Surrey and now Maple Ridge). The emphasis that has been placed on low barrier housing in Maple Ridge, which includes approximately 950 rental supplements for untreated persons mostly sufferingfrom substance mlsuse and mental health problems, has eliminated rnost of our affordable housing stock that is critical for people on low income, veterans, seniors, single parents and persons with disabilities. Fufthermore, ongoing criminal activity has overtaxed allfront line resources, These are real and significant local concerns that have been swept aside by the Province's action, Whatour community needs is a comprehensive health care facilityfocusing on mental and physical health, addictions recovery, and servíces to move people forward to a better place in their lives, We asked for this as part of our Social Housing Plan to the Province, a Plan which recognizes that local governments' role is to make decisions ln the best interest of local residents. By acting unilaterally, the Prov¡nce has imposed regional priorities at the expense of Maple Ridge citizens, and taken away our Council's ability to represent the best interests of our community. We therefore ask you, our fellow local governments, to considerthe ramifications of this unilateral action by the Province of BC to overrule municipal land use regulations and dispense with public consultation and collaboration with local government. ln our view, it sets a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes the autonomy of all local governments in British Columbia, and could have repercussions for a wide range of sensitive matters that municipalities might consider, such as a waste incineration plant, a prison, a communication tower, etc. For projects such as these, it is particularly lmportant that senior government initiatives go through proper process including site assessment and suitability evaluation, and for the Province of BC to respectthe authority that has been granted to local governments to carry out due public process and represent the best interests of their communities in order to ensure approval. /3 Page 115 of 121 UBCM Member Municipalities AprilS, 2019 Page 3 We appreciate that in¡tiat¡ves such as the RRH program may or may not be suitable ln your community. on balance Local Sovernment holds the authority and responsibility of making the right decisions based a of all iñterests and weighing local and regional needs, while working with our senior government panners.

Gold River Council believes there are key facts AVICC delegates need to be cognizant of, before considering supporting a potentially devastating resolution for small communities such as ours, Old growth forest harvesting continues to make up a significant proportion of the fibre basket on the coast which is about 16 million cubic metres per year. Thirty years ago harvesting second growth trees accounted for about 5% of the fibre, today it is about 45%. Ihe transition from second growth is underway, but to retain a sustainable industry for future generations, we need to continue with an orderly and managed transition. Decreasing the amount, or removing old growth foresting all together as proposed by the City of Victoria, will decimate many of the small communities in the north island that depend on these jobs for survival. Based on a recently released report by PwC, forestry is responsible for over direct 9,500 jobs and 21,000 jobs overall (indirect and induced) on Vancouver lsland and the Coast. ln addition, $Z,t bill¡on in GDP is generated and 51.,4 billion in wages is provided by the forest industry on the island A moratorium would impact approximately 55% of the harvest annually on Vancouver lsland. Based on the numbers above, this will cost approximately 4,250 living wage jobs and 51 billion in GDP to our economies. This will cripple communities struggling to survive. ln addition, by moving forward on this resolution, and with the already very restrictive rules in place for harvesting, there would be little product left for lumber manufacturers and the pulp sectors to process. lt is not just small communities like Gold River that will be impacted, but towns up and down Vancouver lsland too. The City of Victoria's resolution infers that expanded economic opportunities can be realized with a further reduction in harvesting; this is disingenuous and comes with no real alternative business solutions. Page 120 of 121 Moving through the resolution, the Village struggles with the concept that a large municipality, contributing much more to GHG emissions due to population density and deforestation, would be interfering with forestry management where the environment and sustaínability is top of mind.
