5. DELEGATION

5.1 North Westside Communities Association - Governance Study Committee, Bob Andrews - President (All Directors - Unweighted Corporate Vote – Simple Majority - LGA 208.1)

Bob Andrews, President of the North Westside Communities Association presented the Association’s view on governance in the North Westside area of Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. Mr. Andrews is also the Chair of the North Westside Communities Governance Committee, a group of seven residents. The past accomplishments of the Association were highlighted. Due to dissatisfaction being voiced by some community members on governance regarding lack of transparency, lack of accountability, feeling of alienation and indifference, and increasing water-related costs the Association decided to take action to review governance in the area. Examples of the issues of concern were highlighted. The Committee requests a letter of support for the Province to review the governance options available to the residents of the North Westside. Discussion:

Governance studies and incorporation studies are two different issues.

The Committee’s draft Terms of Reference was presented. The request for $50,000 in funding is to the Province. The Committee petitions the Province to determine if they will consider a study. The Province makes the decision not the Regional District.

It was noted that $30,000 was included in the RDCO Electoral Area budget for 2016 for ‘governance’. Director Carson noted this funding is for ‘service related’ issues not for a governance study. There will be a cost to the RDCO for staff resources should a study be approved by the Province.

TO: Regional Board FROM: Ron Fralick

Manager of Planning DATE: August 30, 2016 SUBJECT: Extension Request for Application Z14/04

Shelter Cove Estates Ltd. c/o D.E. Pilling & Associates Ltd. Lot 1, Plan KAP60766, District Lot 3546, ODYD (4401N Westside Road)

Voting Entitlement: Custom Vote – Electoral Areas & West Kelowna – 1 Director, 1 Vote, Simple Majority

Purpose: To consider a request for a one-year extension to File: Z14/04 (Land Use

Contract Amendment Bylaw No. 258-05, Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 871-224, Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 1274-04).

Executive Summary:

The Regional Board has not yet considered the above mentioned application due to the absence of provincial agency support with respect to key servicing issues. The intent of the associated bylaw amendments is to allow subdivision of the existing development into 36 single family residential lots. The proponents are working on an alternative solution to address the servicing issues; therefore, a one year extension has been requested for the Application Z14/04. This is the second extension request for this application.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the Regional Board approve a one-year extension for Application File No. Z14/04.

Regional Board Report Extension Request for Application Z14/04 Page 2

Implications of Recommendation:

Policy: Approval of the extension complies with Development Applications Procedures Bylaw No. 944.

Background:

On September 10, 2015, the Regional Board granted a one-year extension to the LUC/OCP/Zoning Application, Z14/04. Other than the extension, the amending bylaws have not been considered by the Regional Board due to outstanding issues which include the absence of provincial agency support with respect to key servicing issues. As per the attached letter from the company’s president, the development proponents have been unable to gain support from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development or Interior Health Authority. Notwithstanding, the proponents are working on an alternative solution to address the servicing issues that they anticipate will receive provincial agency support; therefore, the company’s president has requested that a subsequent one-year extension be approved for the application. Project description: The subject property is currently regulated under Land Use Contract No. 258, which permits subdivision of the parcel into 42 vacation home sites. The parcel has been partially developed; the proponents are pursuing the Z14/04 application as they wish to permit full-time occupancy and to subdivide the parcel into 36 separate titles. The bylaw amendments are subject to the servicing parameters identified in Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 704; therefore, a Development Variance Permit Application (RDCO File: VP-14-02) has also been submitted in conjunction with the Z14/04 Application to vary servicing requirements. The request for a one-year extension has also been made with respect to the Development Variance Permit Application addressed via a separate staff report. Development Applications Procedures Bylaw No. 944:

Applications that have not been approved or rejected within twelve (12) months after the application date will be of no force and effect. Unless the Regional Board passes a resolution to extend the deadline up to one-year, a new application will be required in order to proceed.

Conclusion:

In recognition that the applicants have been working towards resolution of the servicing issues and that comments from Interior Health Authority are pending, Planning staff has no concerns with the granting of a second one-year extension.

Alternatives:

THAT the Regional Board not approve a one-year extension for Application File: Z14/04.

Organizational/Financial Issues: The extension request was submitted and processed in accordance with requirements of RDCO Development Application Procedures Bylaw No. 944, including payment of the required fee. Considerations not applicable to this report:

TO: Regional Board FROM: Ron Fralick

Manager of Planning DATE: August 30, 2016 SUBJECT: Extension Request for Application VP-14-02

Shelter Cove Estates Ltd. c/o D.E. Pilling & Associates Ltd. Lot 1, Plan KAP60766, District Lot 3546, ODYD (4401N Westside Road)

Voting Entitlement: Custom Vote – Electoral Areas & West Kelowna – 1 Director, 1 Vote, Simple Majority

Purpose: To consider a request for a one-year extension to Development Variance Permit

Application File: VP-14-02.

Executive Summary:

The Regional Board has not yet considered the above mentioned Development Variance Permit Application due to the absence of provincial agency support with respect to key servicing issues. The intent of the Application is to allow subdivision of the existing development into 36 single family residential lots. The proponents are working on an alternative solution to address the servicing issues; therefore, a one year extension has been requested for the Application VP-14-02. This is the second extension request for this application.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the Regional Board approve a one-year extension for Application File: VP-14-02.

Respectfully Submitted:

Regional Board Report Extension Request for Application VP-14-02 Page 2

Implications of Recommendation:

Policy: Approval of the extension complies with Development Applications Procedures Bylaw No. 944.

Background:

On September 10, 2015, the Regional Board granted a one-year extension to the Application. Other than the extension, the Application has not been considered by the Regional Board due to outstanding issues which include the absence of provincial agency support with respect to key servicing issues. As per the attached letter from the company’s president, the development proponents have been unable to gain support from the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development or Interior Health Authority. Notwithstanding, the proponents are working on an alternative solution to address the servicing issues that they anticipate will receive provincial agency support; therefore, the company’s president has requested that a subsequent one-year extension be approved for the application. Development Applications Procedures Bylaw No. 944:

Applications that have not been approved or rejected within twelve (12) months after the application date will be of no force and effect. Unless the Regional Board passes a resolution to extend the deadline up to one-year, a new application will be required in order to proceed.

Conclusion:

In recognition that the applicants have been working towards resolution of the servicing issues and that comments from Interior Health Authority are pending, Planning staff has no concerns with the granting of a second one-year extension.

Alternatives:

THAT the Regional Board not approve a one-year extension for Application File: VP-14-02.

Organizational/Financial Issues: The extension request was submitted and processed in accordance with requirements of RDCO Development Application Procedures Bylaw No. 944, including payment of the required fee. Considerations not applicable to this report:

TO: Governance and Services Committee FROM: Ron Fralick Manager of Planning DATE: August 30, 2016 SUBJECT: Secondary Suite Applications (3360-01)

Purpose: To obtain direction from the Board with respect to consideration of secondary

suites by policy approval rather than bylaw amendment.

Executive Summary:

The Regional Growth Strategy, Official Community Plans, and Rural Land Use Bylaw support the provision of secondary suites in the Electoral Areas. However, a property owner wishing to install a secondary suite in the Electoral Areas is required to apply for rezoning or to amend the land use designation prior to obtaining a building permit. In terms of volume, the Regional Board has approved 19 secondary suites since 2000. Three of the four RDCO member municipalities, and our RDNO and OSRD neighbours permit secondary suites by policy; the District of Peachland is exploring implementing similar changes. It is noted that prior to approving this change, these local governments completed a significant public consultation process to which we expect to follow as well.

RECOMMENDATION:

THAT the Governance and Services Committee recommend the Board direct staff to include consideration of secondary suite applications by policy approval rather than bylaw amendment in the 2017 Program Plan (111 – Electoral Planning). Respectfully Submitted:

Governance and Services Report - Secondary Suite Applications Page 2

Implications of Recommendation:

Strategic Plan: Directing staff to review the secondary suite provisions in 2017 meets the 2015-2018 Strategic Priorities Plan, Strategic Priority #1: Provide Proactive and Responsive Governance.

Policy: Directing staff to review the secondary suite provisions in 2017 complies with Regional

Growth Strategy Bylaw No. 1336’s Policy No. 3.2.10.2: Encourage effective governance and service delivery by being transparent, accountable and accessible.

Legal/Statutory Authority: Directing staff to review the secondary suite provisions in 2017 meets Local

Government Act Section 464 requirement of holding a public hearing prior to adopting a land use bylaw.

Background:

On June 27, 2016, the Regional Board passed the following resolution: #140/16 THAT staff be directed to bring a report to a future Governance & Services Committee meeting for consideration of secondary suite applications by policy approval rather than bylaw amendment. History The provision for secondary suites was introduced into Zoning Bylaw No. 871 at time of adoption in 2000; however, Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw No. 1195 only recently included the use in 2012 (File: RLUB-12-01, Amendment Bylaw No. 1195-06). Current RDCO Secondary Suite Regulations Should an owner wish to include a secondary suite within a principal residence, under Zoning Bylaw No. 871 and Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw No. 1195 the person must apply to rezone or amend the land use designation of the parcel. Should the land-use-amendment application for a secondary suite be successful, a subsequent Building Permit for the building construction / alteration is required. At this time, the Electoral Areas have a total of 19 parcels with approved secondary suites, plus 1 application currently in queue (11 in Central Okanagan East Electoral Area and 9 in Central Okanagan West Electoral Area). Regional Growth Strategy Bylaw No. 1336 Policy No. 3.2.6.1 “Preserve and enhance existing neighbourhoods through encouragement of a variety of housing types, densities, choices and affordability”. Official Community Plans / Rural Land Use Bylaw

Brent Road / Trepanier Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1303:

Section 6.2, Policy No. 7 notes that “secondary suites are recognized as an appropriate form of infill housing that provides affordable rental/special needs housing options without a significant impact on the character of a neighbourhood.”

Governance and Services Report - Secondary Suite Applications Page 3

Rural Westside Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1274: Section 6, Policy No. 7 notes that the following should be reviewed “to provide more affordable housing using secondary suites, manufactured homes within existing and new developments, while maintaining sensitivity to the existing rural character of the North Westside area, and resolving additional load on any infrastructure” South Slopes Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1304: Section 6, Policy No. 6 “The Board may consider allowance of secondary suites on properties that are zoned for residential use. A zoning amendment process is required in accord with the Local Government Act and with provisions of the Zoning Bylaw. Secondary suites are recognized as an appropriate form of infill housing that provides affordable rental/special needs housing options without a significant impact on the character of a neighbourhood. The Regional Board generally supports secondary suites where a landowner demonstrates that all technical issues will be addressed, and where there are no significant objections from neighbouring landowners. Limited growth is anticipated in the foreseeable future due to constraints of potable water and servicing. If there is to be growth, it will be located near or adjacent to established settlement areas of Lakeshore Road and June Springs Estates.” Ellison Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1124: Section 16, Policy No. 2.8 supports “a range of residential types and densities in order to accommodate different socio-economic groups, age groups, and lifestyles.” Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw No. 1195: Part 3 – Rural Lands for Residential Use, Policy No. 3.2.9 “Investigate the requirements for housing with relatives for family members within the study area.” Comparison The following table is a comparison of RDCO, member municipality, and neighbouring Regional District policies and bylaws regarding secondary suite use:

As shown above, three of the four member municipalities currently permit secondary suites by policy in some zones; the District of Peachland is exploring potential changes to their current process. In regards to the two neighbouring Okanagan Valley regional districts, they both permit secondary suites by policy in some zones.

Organizational Issues & Financial Considerations:

The 2016 Program Plan for the Planning Section’s 111- Electoral Planning does not include a project to consider implementing secondary suites by policy, and subsequently processing bylaw amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 871 and Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw No. 1195. Including the Project in the 2016 Program Plan may cause other projects to be deferred.

External Implications:

The local governments which have provisions to allow secondary suites by policy completed significant public consultation at time of considering the amendment. Planning staff believes that a similar public consultation process should apply if the Committee supports the provision of secondary suites via policy.

Conclusion

Consistency among secondary suite bylaws, policies, and regulations may be beneficial to Central Okanagan residents. Planning staff supports consideration of allowing secondary suites in some zones/land use designations by policy approval rather than bylaw amendment. In order for this process to occur, appropriate amendments to both the RDCO Zoning Bylaw No. 871 and Joe Rich Rural Land Use Bylaw No. 1274 would be required. This initiative should be considered as part of the 2017 Program Plan (111 – Electoral Planning), and the level of public consultation should be greater than the minimum required by the Local Government Act.

Alternative Recommendation:

THAT the provision of secondary suites continues to be subject to a bylaw amendment process in accordance with RDCO Application Procedures Bylaw No. 944.
