OTC SITEPLANNING PROGRAM

OPEN HOUSEJune 8 + 12, 2014

HISTORY + USES

• The site was used as an army barracks until it was converted to a transit centre in August 1948.

• At its peak, the OTC was home to 244 trolley and 182 diesel buses, and over 1,200 staff.

• Most services were moved out in 2006 when the Vancouver Transit Centre was completed on the Eburne Lands in South Vancouver.

• Today the OTC is used temporarily for community shuttle services, commissioning and decommissioning of buses, and storage.

SITE BACKGROUND

• The site is 5.6 hectares (13.8 acres). • Existing zoning is single-family use (RS-1) which allows up to

2.5 storeys, and density up to 0.6 FSR.• The Oakridge Langara Policy Statement (OLPS), approved in

1995, supported a range of housing types from townhouses to mid-rise forms with an overall density of 0.9 - 1.0 FSR, and development of a new neighbourhood park.

SITE

FUTURE OF THE SITE

• In February 2014, City Council approved a planning program to create a new vision for the OTC site, which will explore building heights and densities beyond what was contemplated in the OLPS.

BACKGROUND

Page 4: Presentation Boards - City of Vancouver

OTC SITEPLANNING PROGRAM

OPEN HOUSEJune 8 + 12, 2014

The objective of the planning program is to explore redevelopment options for the site. Your input is an important part of the process, which will take about one year. The result of the planning program is a Policy Statement, which will be presented to Council. If adopted, it will be used to guide any future rezoning of the OTC site.

• Create a set of guiding principles - using public feedback, analysis of the site, and City and TransLink objectives.

• Use the principles to develop preliminary redevelopment concepts.• Identify potential public benefi ts (e.g. childcare centre, affordable housing).

Open House #2• At the second open house, draft guiding principles and redevelopment concepts

will be presented for feedback. Your feedback will be used to select a preferred concept (or two) for refi nement in the next phase.

PHASE 2:Develop Guiding Principles and Redevelopment Concepts

• Refi ne the guiding principles, redevelopment concepts and public benefi ts, based on feedback from the previous phase and begin drafting policies.

Open House #3• At the last open houses of the process the refi ned principles, redevelopment

concept(s) and public benefi ts will be presented. Your feedback will be used to fi nalize draft policies for the Policy Statement.

PHASE 3:Refi ne Guiding Principles, Redevelopment Concepts, and Draft Policies

• Conduct background research and site analysis, and determine City objectives.• Establish the project team, roles and responsibilities, project timelines, and the

public engagement process. Open House #1• The goal of the fi rst open house is to introduce the planning program and gather

early ideas for the future of the OTC site.

OAKRIDGE LANGARAPOLICY STATEMENT (1995)The OLPS provides direction to guide growth within the Oakridge/Langara area. Currently, there are three active rezoning applications along Oak Street. Two applications are proposing townhouses next to the OTC site – an open house for these projects is scheduled for June 26.

LITTLE MOUNTAINPOLICY STATEMENT (2012)The Policy Statement supports redevelopment to include residential buildings up to 12 storeys with commercial and civic uses (a neighbourhood house and childcare facility). A community plaza and public open space will also be provided through redevelopment.

CHILDREN’S AND WOMEN’SHEALTH CENTREIn December 2012, Council approved a 30-year master plan which would provide an additional 650,000 sq.ft. for health-care services and a new acute care facility.

LANGARA GARDENSPOLICY STATEMENTIn June 2013, City Council approved a planning program to develop a Policy Statement for the site. Planning will ensure that the existing rental units are protected or replaced. This program is expected to commence in 2015.

OAKRIDGE CENTRE REZONING (2014)In March, Council approved expansion of the Oakridge Centre to increase the amount of retail and offi ce space, to add 2,900 residential units (including 290 social housing units and 290 secured market rental units) and public amenities including a 3.6 hectare (9 acre) rooftop park and civic centre with a library, 69-space childcare facility and seniors’ centre.

PEARSON DOGWOOD LANDSPOLICY STATEMENT (2014)The Policy Statement, approved in January, includes approximately 3.1 million sq.ft. of residential, commercial, health-care and recreational uses, in buildings ranging from 3 to 28 storeys. The plan includes community amenities such as a 1.01 hectare (2.5 acre) park, a therapeutic pool for persons with disabilities, 20% of all units will be affordable housing, and a proposed Canada Line Station at 57th Ave and Cambie Street.

CAMBIE CORRIDOR PLAN (2011)The plan recommends intensifi cation along the corridor within close proximity to the Canada Line. The plan supports a range of building heights, primarily six storeys increasing to 12 storeys on prominent corners, and a provision to investigate beyond 12 storeys at the intersection of 41st Ave and Cambie Street. East of the OTC site, the plan provides direction for six-storey buildings on 41st Ave.

Phase 3 of the Cambie Corridor is anticipated to start in 2015.

MARPOLE COMMUNITY PLAN (2014)The Marpole Community Plan includes directions on land use, housing, transportation, parks, community amenities and benefi ts, arts and culture, heritage and the local economy.

NEIGHBOURHOOD ENERGY STRATEGY

Page 9: Presentation Boards - City of Vancouver

OTC SITEPLANNING PROGRAM

OPEN HOUSEJune 8 + 12, 2014

The City would like to see certain objectives achieved through the redevelopment of the OTC site. These relate to established City goals around housing and social development, sustainability, transportation, planning and urban design.

CITY OBJECTIVES

• Provide a range of housing types and tenures to enhance affordability for all residents.• A minimum of 20% of the units will be for affordable housing. • Seek to maximize the number of family units with two or more bedrooms.

HOUSING

• Respond to our Greenest City objectives for access to nature, low carbon energy, site design, green mobility, affordable housing, rainwater management, food systems and zero waste planning.

• Design all new buildings to meet or exceed LEED Gold.

SUSTAINABILITY

PARK LAND, OPEN SPACES AND PUBLIC BENEFITS

• Establish a package of public benefi ts and amenities to meet the needs of the local community (e.g. childcare, parks, etc).

• A key consideration of the amenity package will be the amount and confi guration of park land and open spaces.

• Prioritize walking, cycling, and transit over driving, and protect local bikeways and Greenways from traffi c impacts through site planning and design.

• Consider the OTC’s proximity to the Canada Line station at 41st and Cambie, and to the Heather Bikeway.

• Connect the site with the surrounding community by a network of publicly accessible streets, bike/greenways, pedestrian paths and other open spaces.

TRANSPORTATION + CONNECTIONS

• Develop respectful transitions, in terms of building scale, with the surrounding neighbourhood. • Achieve interest and architectural variety by accommodating a range of building types and heights.• Create pedestrian-oriented streetscapes and public spaces that integrate well with the neighbourhood.• Consider a mix of uses (e.g. service/retail) to support the needs of the new community.

SCHOOLS

HOSPITALS

TRANSIT

Questions about school, hospital and transit capacity have been asked during other planning processes in the area. Refer to the Context board for the location of schools and hospitals near the OTC site.

SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS + TRANSIT

The OTC site is within the Jamieson Elementary and Eric Hamber Secondary catchment areas. Sir William Osler Elementary school is also in close proximity to the site.

The Vancouver School Boards’s preference and priority is to accommodate students in their neighbouring school. However occasionally capacity issues may arise at a school and district staff will explore options including not accepting cross boundary students, accommodating overfl ow students in adjacent school facilities where there is space, and exploring portables/building additions where feasible.

The VSB reviews local school capacity issues if a school is being seismically upgraded.

The City is working with the VSB to monitor population growth and determine the potential need for new or expanded school facilities serving the Cambie Corridor.

*For more information on the VSB current capital projects and Capital Plan see: www.vsb.bc.ca/capital-project

In 2004, Vancouver General Hospital received rezoning approval of their expansion plan for the VGH Campus, which included construction of new buildings and replacement of existing buildings. The project is ongoing.

BC Women and Children’s Hospital received zoning approval of their 30-year master plan expansion in December 2012, including construction of new buildings and replacement of existing buildings.

A new community health centre is proposed for the Pearson Dogwood site.

We continue to work with our partners and Vancouver Coastal Health regarding population projections and related health care expansion needs.

As part of the Oakridge Centre Mall rezoning process, City staff worked with TransLink to assess the Canada Line’s capacity to accommodate increased growth along the corridor. The assessment indicates that there is potential to increase the line capacity from 6,100 pphpd (persons per hour per direction) today to 15,000 pphpd, given appropriate investment in infrastructure upgrades and operating levels (refer to chart).

The area is also served by high frequency bus service. The #41 bus runs between Joyce-Collingwood Station and UBC, and the #17 connects Marpole Loop and downtown along Oak Street. A peak-period express bus (#43) also runs along 41st between UBC and Joyce-Collingwood Station. As identifi ed in the Vancouver-UBC Area Transit Plan, B-line service is planned on the 41st Avenue corridor.

CAPITAL PLANCouncil prioritizes the amenities and infrastructure needed around the city and includes them in the City’s Capital Plan, which budgets for long-term investments. This is the main source of funding for public amenity improvements.

COMMUNITY AMENITY CONTRIBUTION (CAC)CACs are negotiated through rezonings and are used to pay for a wider range of amenities and public benefi ts as part of the planning considerations in a rezoning. CAC’s are used to pay for:• Affordable housing• Park space• Transportation improvements• Community centres

• Libraries• Childcare facilities• Police stations and fi re halls• Not-for-profi t space

DEVELOPMENT COST LEVIES (DCL)DCLs are charged on any new development in the city and are determined by the size of a development. These augment the capital budget. They are limited in how they can be spent. DCLs are used to pay for:• Parks• Childcare centres

• Engineering infrastructure • Affordable housing

WHAT ARE PUBLIC BENEFITSPublic benefi ts and amenities are spaces and places that make neighbourhoods complete and livable by supporting people in a variety of ways. Public benefi ts include childcares, parks, community centres, libraries, cultural facilities, affordable housing and street improvements. Public benefi ts are funded through:

• COMMUNITY AMENITY CONTRIBUTIONS (CAC)• DEVELOPMENT COST LEVIES• CAPITAL PLAN

HOW ARE PUBLIC BENEFITS DECISIONS MADEPublic comments, current and future policy directions and applicant ideas, along with City staff recommendations, lead to decisions on public benefi ts.
