Premier Horgan West Annex Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC V8V 1X4

Dear Premier Horgan:

Due to our concern over recent action taken by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing to undermine jurisdiction granted to municipal governments, the Council of the District of Kitimat endorsed the following resolution on April 29, 2019:

WHEREAS the Community Charter acknowledges that municipalities and their Councils are "democratically elected, autonomous, responsible and accountable"; require the authority to determine the public interest of their communities; and the Local Government Act grants local governments the powers and flexibility required to fulfill their purpose and respond to the needs of their communities;

AND WHEREAS the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing has taken unilateral action in Maple Ridge that undermines the jurisdiction of the Council of the City of Maple Ridge to determine and represent the public interest of this community , setting a dangerous precedent that jeopardizes the autonomy of all local governments in British Columbia in representing the interests of their communities through fair and accountable public process;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the District of Kitimat urges the Province of British Columbia to commit to work in collaboration with local governments within the bounds of their respective jurisdictions on all current and future projects of mutual concern to local governments and the Provincial Government.

We therefore urge the Government of BC to respect local government autonomy and engage in collaborative consultation with municipalities and constituents on any land use or other matters of concern to the Provincial Government.

Yours sincerely,

Member Municipalities c/o Union of BC Municipalities Suite 60 - 10551 Shell bridge Way Richmond, BC V6X 2W9

Dear UBCM Member Municipalities:

Office of the Mayor

I am writing on behalf of Maple Ridge City Council to inform you of recent action taken by the Province of British Columbia that undermines the authority granted to municipal governments, and request that you pass a resolution to be forwarded to Premier Horgan and the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) expressing concern for the impact this action has on the roles defined for local government within the Community Charter (CC) and the Local Government Act (LGA).

By way of background, I share with you the recent experience of the City of Maple Ridge, where on two separate occasions, we have been subjected to the Province's unilateral action to bypass local government autonomy and public process, inconsistent with our local zoning.

In May 2018, the Province of BC made application to the City of Maple Ridge to rezone provincially-owned properties on 11749 & 11761 Burnett Street (as referenced in Item 1108 of the May 22, 2019 Council Meeting Report) to build purpose built supportive housing. Citizens attended a public meeting hosted by local MLAs and presented a 10,000 name petition against this application 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 support services required, particularly persons coming from a camp environment. Following the public process, the City rejected the application. The Provincial Government responded to this decision by taking unilateral action to install housing through the Rapid Response to Homelessness (RRH) program on a nearby provincially-owned site on 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 in 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 Camp that was first established in May 2017. We have endeavored to open positive channels of communication 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. This began with post-election meetings in October 2018 with our local MP, MLAs, Fraser Health Authority, BC Housing and related non-profit service providers followed by Council's development of a Strategic Plan which includes direction to establish a Community Safety Plan as a major tenet of this work. These steps have been 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, community safety, and how we can move forward on these matters in Maple Ridge.

On Monday, March 4, just one week after that meeting, I received a phone call from the Housing Minister demanding that the City deliver a "Social Housin_gJ>lan" within five days to address short and long term needs, including providing immediate housing to facilitate the closure of the St. Anne Camp. Council immediately passed a resolution and then delivered on this request in seven days, with all related resolutions from Council to demonstrate our willingness and commitment to collaborate for a mutually beneficial outcome. The Plan was immediately rejected by the Province. The Province cited the unsuitability of the City's chosen property, despite City staff's assessment that the site could accommodate immediate housing needs to achieve camp closure. One week later, Minister Robinson announced publicly that RRH housing would be installed on Burnett Street, at the same location local residents and the previous Council had already rejected through the usual local application 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. In five months' time, the facility has experienced two deaths, and seen few moving forward as evidenced by statistics provided by the operator. Increasing crime at this location, the St. Anne Camp, and all other low barrier facilities in Maple Ridge indicates that the chosen model is not suitable to help people in a very serious state of poor mental health often coupled with significant substance misuse 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 suffering from substance misuse and mental health problems, has eliminated most of our affordable housing stock that is critical for people on low income, veterans, seniors, single parents and persons with disabilities. Furthermore, ongoing criminal activity has overtaxed all front line resources. These are real and significant local concerns that have been swept aside by the Province's action.

What our community needs is a comprehensive health care facility focusing on mental and physical health, addictions recovery, and services 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 in the best interest of local residents. By acting unilaterally, the Province 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 consider the 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. In 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 important that senior government initiatives go through proper process including site assessment and suitability evaluation, and for the Province of BC to respect the 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.

We appreciate that initiatives such as the RRH program may or may not be suitable in your community. Local government holds the authority and responsibility of making the right decisions based on a balance of all interests and weighing local and regional needs, while working with our senior government partners.

Enclosed you will find a proposed resolution that is strictly about the importance of local government autonomy. We ask that you consider passing this resolution and forward a copy to Premier Horgan and the UBCM to let them know that local governments require the Province of BC to respect local democracy and work collaboratively with us to move forward on projects and programs of mutual concern that balance the interests of all BC residents.

Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

Re: Establishment of Officer Positions Bylaw No. 1941, 2019 KITIMAT A Marvel o f Nature and Ind ustry

Recommendation:

THAT Three Readings be given to "Establishment of Officer Positions Bylaw No. 1941, 2019."

Background:

The Community Charter requires that at least two positions be designated Officer positions in a municipality, that of the Corporate Officer and the Finance Officer. Currently these Officer positions are filled by the Director of Corporate without a deputy and the Director of Finance with a deputy. The Chief Administrative Officer is also designated an Officer for the District of Kitimat. These are all established under Part 2, Division 13 of the Kitimat Municipal Code.

With a retirement, there is only a Director of Corporate Administration and no Deputy Director. This poses issues as both the Director and Deputy Director would sign documents that required authorized signatory and commissioner for taking affidavits signatures (such as land titles documents). The District currently must go to a Public Notary until another corporate signatory can be established.

Staff feel that establishing both the Director of Finance and the Chief Administrative Officer as deputies to the Corporate Officer would be appropriate so that all documents can be signed in house, without the need for a public notary. Likewise, to cover hypothetical staffing issues, staff is also recommending the Chief Administrative Officer be appointed a deputy to the Finance Officer, where no other designate is available.

This option would not establish any additional positions as an Officer.

Budget Implications: Though not significant, there would be no need to go to a public notary for certain documents.

Re: Five Year Financial Plan for 2019

Recommendation:

A.L ~ KITIMAT A M,rvcJ of H,tur, 1l'Wfh,ductry

Motion: THAT the 2019 Five-Year Plan and the "Objectives and Policies" be approved to be brought forward as a bylaw for consideration at the May 6 regular meeting.

Background:

Attachment A provides the 2019 budget and projects out to 2023, although Council will determine the budgets and tax rates annually each year for 2020 - 2023.

Attachment B provides the Financial Plan objectives and general financial direction of the District.

Property Taxes: This budget incorporates a 3% increase in municipal property taxes (not including new taxation) as per the 2018 - 2022 Financial Plan, with the distribution of property taxes between classes to be determined after the budget is finalized.

LNG Canada (LNGC) taxes: 2019 is the first year of the LNGC property tax agreement, resulting in approximately $800,000 in new taxation. The LNGC property taxes for the first year of construction incorporate some property taxes (about $250,000) for the Rio Tinto lands transferred to LNGC and the portion associated to the Haisla Bridge replacement subtracted. There has not been a decision on the Haisla Bridge being replaced at this time, so staff have removed the additional taxes from general revenues to ensure revenues are not overstated if a positive decision is made to replace the bridge.

Rio Tinto: In 2017, Rio Tinto was assessed a one-time additional $1.57 M in Class 4 taxes to recover an assessment appeal and that amount, plus 3%, was again imposed in 2018. As noted above, there will be a decrease of approximately $250,000 in property taxes from the Rio Tinto lands transferred to LNGC. As a result, using 2018 property tax rates as a comparison, Rio Tinto's 2019 Class 4 property taxes are estimated to be approximately $1 .83 M less than 2018 (before any 2019 percentage increases).

APPENDIX “B”

DISTRICT OF KITIMAT 2019 FINANCIAL PLAN

OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

AS PER SECTIONS 165 & 197 OF THE COMMUNITY CHARTER

BYLAW NO. 1939, 2019

The following statements of objectives and policies are to comply with Sections 165 & 197 of the Community Charter.

A. OVERALL MUNICIPAL OBJECTIVES

1. To raise revenues sufficient to cover all expected expenditures and financialrequirements of the municipality (Years 2-5 are estimates and will be finalized in theirrespective years) is consistent with the mission statement of the Municipality:

“To facilitate a high quality of community life for citizens of all ages.” and,

“To provide high quality municipal services at the lowest possible cost”.

2. To provide municipal services at a sufficiently wide variety and high level to facilitate therecruitment and retention of necessary employees for the major industries upon whichthe municipality is based, and supporting services businesses, and to offset, more orless, the perceived disadvantages to employee recruitment and retention of thecommunity’s remote location.

3. To encourage and foster cultural diversity.

4. To encourage a community balance among recreational opportunity, environmentalintegrity, and industrial growth.

5. To foster industrial and business development and tourism through the promotion of thenatural business advantages of the area and community.

6. To encourage the retention and recruitment of retirees to the community.

7. To respect taxpayers ability to pay and to keep tax increases reasonably in line withinflationary cost increases.

8. To meet community needs during LNG construction and prior to other major industrialprojects. Replaces: “To meet community needs prior to the final investment decisionsbeing made on LNG and other major industrial projects”

33

B. OBJECTIVES FOR SOURCES OF REVENUES

There are two basic methods of raising revenues for municipal services:

1. Taxation 2. User pay

There are numerous options of each and/or mixtures of both. 1. Taxation

In general, taxation is the preferred method if the service has broad public benefit regardless of the quantity of the service any individual citizen consumes, and if market rationing of the quantity consumed is either unnecessary or undesirable. For instance, if the marginal cost of consumption is zero or close to zero, there is little need to ration consumption through user fees. The next amount consumed does not add any extra cost. As well, if consumption of the service provides a benefit to others, it is undesirable to discourage consumption through user fees, and taxation is the preferred revenue choice.

2. User Pay User pay is preferable when the marginal costs of consumption is positive so that the more consumed the higher the cost of the service, and/or if there is no broad public benefit accruing to those who do not consume the service. User pay therefore is a method of rationing the service and of controlling costs. It is seen as equitable as it does not impart costs on those who do not benefit from the provision of the service, either directly or indirectly.

The District of Kitimat recognizes that an important objective is to offset the location disadvantages of the community's remoteness and wet climate in order to attract and retain a qualified workforce for the large complex industries for which the municipality was established and to attract and retain retirees to the community. Therefore an important objective is to ensure that consumption of quality services, particularly recreation, is not discouraged by price. This was done at the request of major industry prior to 1983 to create and maintain the most livable of communities. As well this objective remains critical in the fostering of the community to persons on fixed incomes seeking high quality of life in their senior years.

34

Accordingly, the policy for sources of funding is as follows. C. POLICY FOR SOURCES OF FUNDING - To have user fees, where applied, to enhance responsible consumption of municipal

services while promoting the public benefit of maximum participation in healthy activities provided by the community, and yet not create a financial barrier to the access and enjoyment of municipal facilities and services to all citizens;

- For recreation facilities and services is to recover 17-22% of total cost of providing such

services; - For water which incurs a marginal cost of production only after a significant use as the

reticulation system can deliver more water than the community can consume and there is no raw water supply shortage, user pay shall be an average of operating costs;

- All other services will be funded by taxation supplemented by vigorous pursuit of grant

funding. The following is the Proportion of Revenues in 2019 from each source:

Revenue Source % of Total Revenue Dollar Value

Property taxes 78.01% $26,579,310 Utility revenue tax 1.12% $382,237 User fees and charges 5.74% $1,952,626 Other sources 5.67% $1,930,825 Government grants 5.00% $1,700,089 Total 100% $34,063,937

D. OBJECTIVES FOR TAX APPORTIONMENT AMONG ASSESSMENT CLASSES a. To set Commercial and Residential taxes in the lowest quartile of municipalities in British

Columbia to foster the development of retail and commercial services, and to assist with the recruitment and retention of quality industrial employees, employees for supporting commercial businesses, and the retention and recruitment of retirees.

b. To have the Light Industry property tax rates in the midrange of municipalities in British

Columbia.

35

c. To have Major Industry municipal property taxes reflect a stable portion of the municipal property tax burden relative to the period prior to the Variable Tax Rate Legislation of 1983.

d. To seek other industries to provide for a reduction in property tax rates as assessments

and the number of properties increase.

E. POLICIES FOR TAX APPORTIONMENT The following policies are to advance the above municipal objectives: 1. POLICY FOR TAX APPORTIONMENT AMONG PROPERTY CLASSES:

In pursuit of the above objectives, the policy of the District of Kitimat for the apportionment of municipal property tax burden will be, in the approximate ranges, as follows:

a. Class One Residential .......................................................... 12 - 25% b. Class Two Utility, As per Local Government Act ................ 0.1 – 0.5% c. Class Four Major Industry ..................................................... 60 – 80% d. Class Five Light Industry ........................................................ 1 – 10% e. Class Six Business and Commercial ................................... 5 – 12%

The target range for the apportionment of taxes is kept deliberately broad to accommodate the construction of significant new projects which have been announced.

F. OBJECTIVES OF PERMISSIVE TAX EXEMPTIONS (SECTION 224 OF THE COMMUNITY CHARTER) Permissive tax exemptions, allowed by Section 224 of the Community Charter, will be considered to encourage activities consistent with the quality of life objectives of the municipality; which provide direct access and benefit to the public; and which would otherwise be provided by the municipality.

G. POLICY FOR SECTION 224 EXEMPTIONS Section 224 permissive tax exemptions may be granted at the discretion of Council, in the following circumstances:

a. To activities provided by Not for Profit organizations that provide public access to services consistent with the mission of the municipality which would otherwise be provided by the municipality.

b. To activities provided by private citizens who provide public access to services consistent with the mission of the municipality which would otherwise be provided by the municipality.

H. REVITALIZATION TAX EXEMPTIONS (SECTION 226 OF THE COMMUNITY CHARTER) Revitalization tax exemptions, allowed by Section 226 of the Community Charter, have been considered in order to encourage new buildings or improvements in existing buildings that support environmental, economic, social, beautification or other Council objectives. Possibly: Section 226 exemptions can present serious tax equity problems. The District needs to carefully analyze any specific tax exemption in order to minimize adverse

From: Steve Christiansen, Director of Finance KITIMAT Re: 2019 Tax Increase and Apportionment

Recommendation:

Action: That the following report be discussed and that a motion be provided by Council from the options below.

Possible Motions:

1) THAT the Tax increase be 3% and the Tax Apportionment for 2019 be approved with a reduction in Class 4 equal to the additional increase from 2017 in Class 4 (as approved in the 2019 Budget).

2) THAT the Tax Apportionment for 2019 be approved without a reduction in Class 4

3) Another option as discussed by Council.

Background: Property taxes in BC are levied based on classes of property and the assessed values of the properties within the classes. The distribution among classes is set largely by local government, through administration of a policy guideline while the assessments are carried out by the independent authority: BC Assessment. Through this process local government attempts to be equitable and accountable. 2019 is the first year that LNG Canada Revitalization Program Bylaw 1923 comes into effect. An extra $964,829 will be collected from 6 properties. From this $216,666 will be placed in a Haisla Bridge liability account, leaving an additional $748,164 in revenue.

This Council Report is a prerequisite to the Tax Rates Bylaw and the Financial Plan Bylaw.

Budget Implications: Establishing Revenue for the 2019 5-Year Plan

Re: Ledcor-Haisla Request to Install Salt Marsh Planting Bed at Minette Bay West

1. Recommendation

KITIMAT A M1rv&t or N, tur, 1,id IMudry

THAT Public Notice be issued for Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership's proposal to perform a planting trial at Minette Bay West Park for species that could occupy salt marshes in the Minette Bay area, in return for interpretive signage and reimbursement of municipal costs.

2. Background

Ledcor-Haisla Limited Partnership (LHLP) is seeking a location to perform a planting trial for the species that will eventually occupy constructed salt marshes in Minette Bay. Preferred location is immediately south of the Causeway at Minette Bay West Park, as shown on the attached maps. This site was selected because it is thought to be a safer point of entry into the salt marsh for workers on foot than other potential and nearby sites.

LHLP would like to start constructing the trial area as soon as possible; which should take no more than a week. Once all of the plants are in place, monitors would visit once a week for the following 8-12 months to document progress.

3. Consideration

Minette Bay West Park remains a construction site; the park is not yet is not yet open to the public. Access for LHLP would be as an invitee of the District.

Compensation for park use has not been offered. At a minimum, interpretive sign(s) should be provided explaining the purpose of the planting bed, and what species have been planted.

4. Budget Implications None.

5. Council Initiatives / Relevant Plans

Re: BC Hydro - Funding Opportunity

Recommendation:

THAT the District of Kitimat sign and submit the non-binding BC Hydro DCFC (Level 3) Station Project Memorandum of Understanding;

AND THAT the following potential locations be included with the Memorandum of Understanding:

1. Upper City Centre Parking Lot; 2. Nechako Centre Parking Lot; 3. Mountainview Square Parking Lot (College/Courthouse area); 4. Lower City Centre Parking Lot; and 5. Lower Tamitik Arena Parking Lot.

Background

BC Hydro is seeking partners to host and support additional fast charging stations across the Province. The program includes the installation, operation, and ongoing maintenance of the charging station in accordance with a 10 year lease agreement. Memorandum is attached.

District of Kitimat responsibilities would be: 1. Provide land necessary for hosting the station equipment and operations (10 year

commitment); and 2. Include EV station area in their normal site security and maintenance and notify

BC Hydro of issues.

If Council wishes to consider participating in this program, staff recommend signing the memorandum. If federal funding application is successful , installation is anticipated to be Q2 2020 with project completion Q3 2020.

BC Hydro DCFC Station Project

Memorandum of Understanding

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) sets out the understanding of and principles agreed to

between BC Hydro and the undersigned party (the “Host”) which wishes to participate in the BC Hydro

Critical EV Infrastructure Project for BC (the “Program”). The Program involves BC Hydro’s installation

and operation of DC fast charging (“DCFC”) stations for electric vehicles (“EVs”) at suitable Host

locations across British Columbia.

Purpose

The Program is part of the BC Clean Energy Vehicle Program which is designed to provide British

Columbians with more affordable clean transportation options. The purpose of the Program is to

support consumer confidence in EVs by increasing the availability of public EV charging infrastructure.

Funding

The Program will be funded by contributions from the Province of British Columbia (the “Province”) and

from the federal government sufficient to substantially cover the costs of acquiring and installing the

DCFC stations (collectively, the “Funding”). It is understood and agreed that the implementation of the

Program is conditional upon availability and receipt of the Funding.

Structure

The Funding will be provided to BC Hydro to purchase and install a DCFC station on land owned by the

Host located at ________________________________________________ [insert address of premises].

BC Hydro will remain the owner of the DCFC station and will lease from the Host for a nominal charge

the land on which the station and associated parking stalls and electrical infrastructure are located (the

“Selected Site”) for a period of ten years.

BC Hydro and the Host will enter into a lease agreement or other land tenure agreement (a “DCFC

Station Agreement”) prepared by BC Hydro. BC Hydro will operate and maintain the DCFC station and

will make the EV charging service available to the public. The Host will ensure the lease area is available

to the public for the purpose of EV charging.

Timing

Subject to securing the Funding by BC Hydro on or before July 31, 2019, (or such later date as the parties

may agree), BC Hydro and the Host anticipate and agree to work towards the installation of a DCFC

station by September 30, 2020. Installation of a DCFC station on the Host’s property will be subject to

the prior execution of the DCFC Station Agreement by the Host. The parties will target finalization and

execution of the DCFC Station Agreement by September 1, 2019.

- Unless otherwise agreed pursuant to the DCFC Station Agreement, decommission the DCFC

station and remove the equipment at the end of the term of the Agreement.

- Work with the Host to provide site level job aids to support on-site staff to understand the DCFC

Station, on-site Host duties, and who to call for assistance

- Promote the DCFC station as part of the Program and provide an opportunity for the Host’s

logos to be applied to the DCFC station signage in accordance with the overall Program branding

- Comply with the DCFC Station Agreement

Role and Responsibilities of Host

The Host will:

- Make the Selected Site available for installation and operation of the DCFC station 24 hours a

day, all year round, for a minimum period of ten years

COUNCIL REPORT Date: 14 March 2019

File: 7.5.3.141


From: Gwendolyn Sewell, Director of Community Planning & Development

Re: Zoning Amendment , 167 Konigus Street KITIMAT A Marvel of N alure a nd lnd ui t ry

1. Recommendation

THAT six-month waiting period be waived to allow an R3-A Zone Amendment and concurrent Development Permit application for apartments at Riverbrook Estates.

2. Background

Council Motion: S19-009

THAT the zoning amendment application for 167 Konig us Street be referred to staff for options to increase the density on the site from the current R1-B zone.

Further staff comment and a draft bylaw were included in the Council agenda of 18 March 2019. The following resolution, as amended, was tabled by Motion R19-076.

THAT "Riverbrook Estates R3-A Zone Amendment Bylaw 1938, 2019" be given first reading; AND THAT public notice be issued advising that a zoning amendment application for two sites on Block 21 0 District Lots 6019, 6020, 6023, and 6024 Range 5 Coast District is under consideration by Kitimat Council; AND THAT the zoning amendment application dated 9 November 2018 and draft Bylaw 1938 be referred to Kitimat Housing Committee, Advisory Planning Commission, Persons with Disabilities Advisory Commission and Traffic Committee; AND FURTHER THAT the Public Hearing be scheduled for 15 April 2019 at 7:00PM in Council Chambers, 606 Mountainview Square."

3. Consideration

The current application for rezoning of a portion of the Riverbrook Estates site has been suspended. Riverbrook Estates is considering withdrawing this zoning application in favour of a concurrent zoning amendment and development permit application. A development permit application requires preparation of colour elevation and landscape plan drawings which would help provide Council members and area residents with more information- a better picture-of the current development proposal. The Administration supports concurrent applications.

Information in the new application package would include concept drawings, as well as information about how Kerkhoff Construction wishes to address the targets Kitimat Council has expressed interest in attaining regarding energy efficiency and proportion of affordable and accessible units. There is a mandatory waiting period of six months if the current application is denied. Council may waive this waiting period by adopting the recommended motion with a two-thirds majority per s. 460(3) of the BC Local Government Act.

54Development Applications, 167 Konigus 25 April 2019

4. Summary

DOK has received a zoning amendment application to permit apartment buildings on a portion of Riverbrook Estates residential development site. Staff drafted Bylaw 1938, proposed consultation methods, and recommended agency referral. Bylaw 1938 was tabled by Motion R19-076 and no further instructions have been provided by Council. The developer has offered to submit concurrent zoning and development permit applications; staff recommend Council waive the six-month delay for an amended application.

5. Alternative Options

1. THAT Council adopt Motion R 19-076 and allow public notice to be issued for proposal to establish two apartment building sites and modify R3-A Zone regulations governing development for a portion of 167 Konigus Street; or

2. Another option as developed through discussion of Council

6. Budget Implications

No impact on 2019 budget. Multi-family lots are higher value than single-family lots; potential increase in assessed value.

Dir. of Fin~nce

7. Council Initiative/Other Relevant Plans

Official 4. 3. 3 Community Plan

4.3.5.1

4.3.5.2

4.3.7

Preserve the diversity of housing types (e.g., single houses and multi-unit housing such as duplexes, row houses, apartments, and condominiums), lot sizes and price ranges by ensuring that infill and new development supports housing choice. Kitimat should monitor housing diversity over time and adopt policies should the need arise in the future for affordable, rental and special needs housing.

Support the development or redevelopment of residential properties to provide housing units. Explore opportunities to encourage construction of amenities including but not limited to accessible, affordable, and rental considerations.

Encourage the development of accessible, affordable, and rental housing through density benefits. Pursuant to Section 482 of the Local Government Act, density maximum can be raised for selected multi-family sites where amenities are provided.

All lands in the Kildala, Nechako (including Strawberry Meadows) and Whitesail (including Forest Hills Heights) neighbourhoods are designated as a Development Permit Area pursuant to Sections 488(1)(e) and (f) of the Local Government Act. This designation is to enhance the quality of development and to ensure that multiple family residential housing fits appropriately within what are presently predominantly one-family and two-family low-intensity neighbourhoods.


4.3. 7 cont'd

4.3.8

4.3.10

Kitimat's experience is that residents of low-density neighbourhoods will accept higher-density use on selected sites if there is consultation during the design phase, and final design respects neighbourhood character and form. Multi-family sites are identified at the earliest stage of subdivision approval, but Kilimal's low growth rate means extended build-out. Multi-family sites are often the last lots to be developed, and these large projects must move forward in well-established low-density neighbourhoods. The development permit process facilitates consultation while providing developers with the certainty of a pre-zoned multi-family property. Additional special conditions and objectives which justify DPA designation are provided in the policies and objectives pertaining to the Neighbourhood designation and housing choice, intensive and multi-family content found throughout this Plan. See, for example, policy 4.3.3.

A Development Permit must be obtained for any project which contains three or more dwelling units; this includes mixed-use developments, apartments, terrace dwellings, townhouses, bare land strata developments and community care facilities serving eight or more seniors, people with special needs or group home residents, and other similar projects including any temporary worker accommodation facility outside the M1 Manufacturing Zone. One and twofamily dwellings on individual fee simple lots are exempt.

The following Development Permit guidelines apply to this development permit area:

Siting, Form and Character

A wall facing a street or public space should be finished to the same standard as the front fa9ade and contain substantial fenestration at ground-level for visual interest.

Building materials should reflect the character of the area and the use of a variety of durable materials is encouraged in order to provide articulation and visually interesting design.

New buildings should have perimeter setbacks equal or greater than the surrounding low-density neighbourhoods to ensure integration into the neighbourhood and useful and comfortable public spaces. Setbacks between buildings on the same lot may vary and be less than setbacks on the perimeter.

Street fa9ade should be pedestrian-friendly with a main entrance oriented lo the street.

Building fa9ades may be divided into smaller units by elements such as bays, separated roof forms and/or repetitive vertical elements, similar to those found in the immediate neighbourhood.

Access, Circulation, and Parking

Ensure buildings are accessible to those with mobility impairments.


Access, Circulation, and Parking, cont'd

Minimize parking in front of buildings and locate parking beside, underneath or behind buildings to improve visual interest along streetscapes.

Vehicle access shall be sited to avoid or minimize pedestrian conflicts.

Parking areas and other large hard-surfaced areas should contain or be buffered by landscape planting.

Landscaping

Street trees, perimeter landscaping, buffering or screening, furniture, lighting, and connections to the walkway system should be installed where appropriate to enhance the aesthetics and safety of outdoor spaces.

Trees and plant material are recommended means to screen grade-level parking, recreation vehicle storage, utility and refuse areas.

Plantings to improve the appearance of large, bare exterior walls are encouraged.

Native plants and other plants which require minimal maintenance are encouraged.

Snow clearing activities, and snow storage requirements should be considered in the selection and location of plant materials.

Re: Temporary Use Permit (TUP), Lay Down Area, lmatra Heights

Recommendation:

If Council wishes to consider a Temporary Use Permit for a lay down area in lmatra Heights, the following recommendation is proposed:

THAT the temporary use permit (TUP) application to consider a lay down area on a portion of District Lot 6159 Range 5 Coast District Except Plans 87 43 and 11994, forming part of lmatra Heights Neighborhood, be received for consideration;

AND THAT staff report back with draft recommended conditions prior to issuing public notice for TUP application for a lay down area in lmatra Heights.

Background

Previous Council Motion:

R19-59

Application

THAT the report be received for information until such time that we can have a discussion with Haisla. Motion Carried Unanimously.

Jeremy Towning submitted a temporary use permit application for a lay down area on a portion of District Lot 6159 Range 5 Coast District Except Plans 8743 and 11994. The subject parcel is part of an identified future residential neighbourhood, lmatra Heights; west of Kuldo Boulevard. Kitimat's Official Community Plan permits TUPs in six zones (G4, G5, G5-A, G6-A, G6-B, R1 -A) . The proposed lay down area is on a portion of the parcel zoned G5-A (shown in Attachment A).

Public Notice

If Council wishes to consider this type of use east of the Kitimat River, staff recommend drafting conditions to include in notice issued regarding application. Once conditions are drafted, notice which describes the application and invites public comment will be posted on municipal website, made available at municipal office, and advertised in the newspaper. Kitimat Municipal Code requires that notice be delivered to property owners and tenants within 90m of subject parcel. Staff has also recommended the applicant host a Public Information Meeting to present the application to residents.

58TUP - lmatra Heights Page 2 of4

Supplementary Information

The applicant provided supplementary information 1n response to staff comment. Supplementary information package includes: Noise Management, Debris Management, Fire Plan, Dust Management, Traffic Impact study (including intersection improvements), and Bridge Implications and Asphalt Conditions. A summary of proponent's response is provided below.

Noise Management

• The proposed width of the buffer on the west side of the property is 60 metres. • Hours of operation will be in alignment with Kitimat's Municipal Code, which are:

o 7am-7pm, excluding June-August, when time extends from 7am-10pm

Debris Management

Methods for debris disposal:

• A sub-contractor will be hired to clear and grub the site for the proposed laydown area. • Debris will be processed in place as ii is being removed. • The debris will not be burned on-site. • All North will explore options for the disposal of the chipped debris, which may include

shipment of the debris to a pellet plant for processing.

Fire Plan

Prior lo commencing work on site, the Prime Contractor will complete a comprehensive site specific hazard identification and risk assessment. The assessment will include all potential fire hazards, including locations of potential 'wild fire' hazards. Fire Chief is reviewing Fire Plan provided.

Dust Management

It is anticipated that the majority of air and dust emissions generated during the construction of the project would be due to the operation of heavy equipment and vehicle traffic on the gravel roads. The primary air and dust emissions are anticipated to be:

• Fugitive dust - traffic along gravel roads, construction activities. • Odours - Burning of fossil fuels, operation of diesel equipment. • Greenhouse gases - Operation of light duty and heavy duty vehicles and equipment.

General fugitive dust control measures may include, but are not limited to:

• Meeting requirements of industry codes and practice for design. • Using dust suppression measures through design process (i.e., wetting work areas,

roads, and storage piles, installing equipment covers, and using dust hoods and shields).

• Using approved dust suppressants. • Pave or seal coat access road to proposed temporary laydown area to the security gate. • Traffic speed will be closely controlled on all roads, particularly roads that are used by

the large trucks. All site roads will have speed limits posted.

59

TUP - lmatra Heights Page 3 of 4

Traffic Impact Study Traffic Impact Study reviews four intersections as well as bridge capacity. Intersections studied include:

• Haisla Boulevard and Kuldo Boulevard, • Haisla Boulevard and Lahakas Boulevard, • Haisla Boulevard and Nalabila Boulevard/Kitamaat Village Road, and • Kuldo Boulevard and Dadook Avenue.

Engineering Services is reviewing proposed intersection modifications and recommendations. Further comment will be provided in a subsequent report.

Summary

The District has received a Temporary Use Permit application for a lay down area in lmatra Heights. If Council wishes to consider this type of use on the east side of the Kitimat River and in Kitimat's townsite, a motion is recommended to formally receive the application for further consideration. At that time, staff would conduct a formal review of the information received and draft conditions targeted to mitigate impacts. A report summarizing staff review and presenting draft conditions would be brought forward for Council's consideration prior to notice being issued.

Alternative Options

1. Temporary Use Permit application for a lay down area in lmatra Heights is rejected*


*If Council declines consideration before public notice is issued, advertising portion of fee is refunded.

Celebrations

In 2013, Council requested that information surrounding the Youth Community Service and the Distinguished Citizen Awards be provided to them prior to a report from Administration regarding any nominations from the public or Leisure Services Advisory Commission. Any nominations received from the public or Leisure Services Advisory Commission will be presented in a report to Council no later than the first Council meeting in June. Additional names may be put forward by Council for consideration upon presentation of the report.
