Attachments Report/Document: Attached X Available __ Nil __

Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined: Hollie Davis has applied for a subdivision in the ALR of her lands on Clover Road, in Area C. The SLRD is not required to forward this application to the Agricultural Land Commission,under Section 25 of the Agricultural Land Commission Act. The proposed subdivision satisfies the minimum 2 hectare parcel size requirement under SLRD zoning.

The provincial agricultural capability mapping indicates that the land in the western portion of the subject property is rated mostly Class 2 with excessive water, and is improvable to mostly Class 1, and the land in the eastern portion of the subject property is rated Class 4 with moisture deficiency as a limiting factor and they are improvable to Class 2.

Relevant Policy: The property is designated Agriculture in the SLRD Electoral Area C Official Community Plan and is zoned AGR under Zoning Bylaw 765. One of the objectives of the Agriculture designation is to ensure that valuable agricultural lands are preserved for agricultural purposes.

Strategic Relevance:n/a

Desired Outcome(s):A decision consistent with the objectives of the Agricultural Land Commission and the policies and regulations of the SLRD.

Response Options:

1. The Board may forward the application to the ALC for their decision, and provide a recommendation of support, or non-support;

2. The Board may deny the application and not forward it to the ALC.

Preferred Strategy: Option 2


Implications of Recommendation

General: Preserving agricultural lands and ensuring long term food security is of critical importance, on both a local and global scale, and therefore, the proposed subdivision, as presented, is not supported.

Organizational: n/a

Financial: n/a

Legal: n/a

The property owner will be notified of the Board recommendation. If the Board wishes, the application and a recommendation will be forwarded to the ALC for their consideration in making a decision on the application.

Subdivision in the ALR, Area C - Background Report �Prepared by�� Tracy Napier, Planner Prepared For: Electoral Area Directors Committee, June 14, 2010

SUBJECT: Application for Subdivision in the ALR

Applicant: Hollie Davis Legal Description: Lot 6, DL 204, LLD, Plan 12831 General Location: 7306 Clover Road, Area C

Background The SLRD has received an application for subdivision in the ALR for the lands legally described above. The subject property is roughly 9.8ha (24.2ac) in size, and is entirely within the ALR.

Proposal The applicant wishes to subdivide the property to create one lot of approximately 4ha (10 acres), and one remainder of roughly 5.8ha (14.2acres). Access to both the new lot and the remainder would be via Clover Road (see attached Proposed Subdivision Plan).

The applicant has indicated that the reason she wishes to subdivide the land is so that she can continue to live on the remainder, and that she hopes to “do some more work on the property”. She intends to sell the proposed lot, and states that a ten acre lot will be more affordable for a farmer to purchase than other larger lots.

Policy The subject property is designated Agriculture in the Area C OCP Bylaw No. 689, and it is zoned Agriculture (Pemberton Fringe) under Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765.

The OCP contains several policies with respect to the protection of agricultural land, including the following:

6.7 Exclusions from the Agricultural Land Reserve and further subdivisions of lots within the Agricultural Land Reserve are generally not supported;

The minimum parcel size requirement in the AGR(PF) zone is 2ha.

Agricultural Capability The provincial agricultural capability mapping indicates that the land on the western portion of the subject property (closest to Clover Road) is rated 80% Class 2, 20% Class 4, both with excessive water as a limiting factor, and that it is improvable to 80% Class 1, 20% Class 2 with excessive water as a limiting factor. The eastern portion of the subject property (farthest from Clover Road) is rated as Class 4 with moisture deficiency as a limiting factor, and is improvable to Class 2, still with soil moisture deficiency as a limiting factor.


�

�

This rating system is based on 7 Classes, with Class 1 having no limitations, and Class 7 having no productivity. This information was gathered from the 92J/07 Agricultural Capability Map from the Ministry of Environment, Ecosystems Branch.

Adjacent Land Uses The applicant describes the adjacent land uses as follows:

North: hayEast: hay

South: Hay, cattle, lambsWest: house

Current Land Uses The applicant states that the current uses on the land include a single family dwelling operating as a bed and breakfast, as well as horse breeding, and has in the past included rearing chickens. The current structures include a single family dwelling, a mobile home, a barn, chicken coop, 3 outhouses, woodshed, gazebo and shed. The mobile home is located on Proposed Lot 1 and has a well and septic system in place. The applicant has indicated that it is not occupied at this time.

IMPLICATIONS:

Although the OCP policy does not generally support subdivisions in the ALR, the proposal satisfies the minimum parcel size requirement of 2ha in the AGR(PF) zone.

REFERRALS

Agricultural Advisory CommitteeThe Agricultural Advisory Committee considered the application at their June 2 meeting, and to recommends to the Board that the application not be supported. ACTION PLAN/COMMUNICATION PLAN:

The SLRD response may be forwarded to the ALC for their consideration.

Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined: On June 8th the arbitrator rendered his decision in the final proposal arbitration by selecting the SLRD proposed wording to resolved the disputed section of the RGS bylaw.

Part 1: Introduction The Regional Growth Strategy for the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) is an initiative of the SLRD, the District of Squamish, the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the Village of Pemberton and the District of Lillooet. The purpose of a regional growth strategy under Part 25 of the Local Government Act is to “promote human settlement that is socially, economically, and environmentally healthy and that makes efficient use of public facilities and services, land and other resources.” The SLRD Regional Growth Strategy is the result of several years of public consultation and intergovernmental dialogue. It supports collaborative planning and consensus-based problem solving across the region.

The Regional Growth Strategy is intended to provide a broad policy framework describing the common direction that the regional district and member municipalities will follow in promoting development and services which are sustainable, recognizing a long term responsibility for the quality of life for future generations. A sustainable future is one that provides for balanced economic, social and environmental well-being and that acknowledges the duty to use land and resources in a way that does not diminish their natural capacities and intrinsic values. The SLRD Board recognizes the benefit of endorsing a science and systems based framework for planning towards sustainability. To this end, we understand the benefit of creating a long term vision informed by the key (science-based) principles of sustainability, and then 'looking back' to the present to reveal the steps which will take us to closer to our chosen vision.

Subsequent planning and decision-making will be guided by our vision of a sustainable future, including the smart growth principles that form the basis of the Regional Growth Strategy Memorandum of Understanding which was established at the outset of the process.

The Regional Growth Strategy will assist all parties with an interest in the region to:

1. Work together to address matters of common regional concern;

2. Demonstrate respect for each other’s jurisdictions and processes;

3. Maintain good communications and coordination with respect to land use and other decisions of a regional and sub-regional nature;

4. Create a long term vision informed by the key principles of sustainability and embark on a path to our future in a manner that finds a responsible balance between the environmental, economic, and social needs of our communities.

The SLRD Regional Board initiated a regional growth strategy in July, 2003 recognizing that the region was facing a unique combination of opportunities and challenges, including the following:

Responsibility for co-hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics and the desire by all residents to benefit from related socio-economic opportunities;

Infrastructure and legacies associated with this significant international event, including major upgrading of the Sea to Sky Highway;

Urban and rural land use pressures and the desire for managed growth in the southern part of the region (Sea to Sky corridor);

Declining employment and the desire for managed economic recovery in the northern part of the region;



Leadership in land and resource management being taken by First Nations with traditional territory in the region and the desire for improved relations and better cross-cultural communication with our First Nations neighbours;

Active promotion of crown land development by the Province and its agencies and the desire for a coordinated, collaborative approach among all levels of government.

The project began with initial regional issue-identification and the development of a shared vision and goal statements. Early on, member municipalities requested the flexibility to design their own approaches to achieving the vision and goals of this strategy through Official Community Plans and other means of local decision making. In 2005, the SLRD and its members developed a Regional Growth Strategy Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), a “bridging” document based on the principles of smart growth, in order to guide decision-making on key regional issues until the RGS was adopted. Following this, a draft RGS was created based on earlier consultation results and the principles contained in the MOU.

There was extensive consultation involved in developing a draft RGS. Provincial agencies and neighbouring regional districts were consulted and their interests were taken into account in the development of this strategy. Significant efforts were also made to involve aboriginal communities in the development of this framework. It is important to acknowledge that First Nations Land Use Plans and Provincial Land and Resource Management Plans exist alongside the Regional Growth Strategy. A key focus has been to encourage coordination and cooperation between local, senior and First Nations governments in providing greater economic certainty and balancing community development, recreation and tourism, and environmental protection in the region.

While the growth strategy will guide the SLRD and its member municipalities with respect to land use decisions in accordance with their legislative authority, it does not alter the role of senior governments to manage crown land uses in the public interest, nor does it commit their agencies to a particular course of action. Its intention is to guide development and encourage collaborative approaches toward a sustainable future.

Through this approach to decision-making, we will embark on a path to our future in a manner that works toward a prosperous balance between the environmental, economic, and social needs of our communities.



Part 2: Context

Overview

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District is a complex region, comprising a wide range of landscapes and lifestyles and covering a total area of 16,500 square kilometers of land. Straddling the southern Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, the SLRD encompasses a diversity of ecosystems and biogeoclimatic zones, from the wet Coastal Western Hemlock zone along Howe Sound, to the drier Interior Douglas Fir zone of the Lillooet River watershed. The land is varied and includes steep mountainous terrain, heavily forested areas, glaciers, river valleys and floodplains. Approximately 20% of the SLRD landscape is located within parks and protected areas, yet the least protection is afforded to the biologically diverse, lower elevation areas that are also most desirable for human settlement. The SLRD contains a range of settlement types from remote aboriginal communities, to small, historic mining towns like Bralorne, to the international mountain destination resort municipality of Whistler.

There are four incorporated municipalities and four electoral areas in the SLRD, as shown on Figure 1 – SLRD Context Map. The four municipalities are: the District of Lillooet, the Village of Pemberton, the Resort Municipality of Whistler and the District of Squamish. The four electoral areas are: Area A (Upper Bridge River Valley), Area B (Pavilion Lake / Yalakom Valley), Area C (Pemberton Valley / Mount Currie to D’arcy corridor) and Area D (Howe Sound East / Upper Squamish Valley / Squamish to Whistler corridor / Callaghan Valley). All four municipalities and three electoral areas (Areas B, C and D) participated in the development of the RGS. The Regional Growth Strategy does not apply to Electoral Area A, which was permitted to opt out of the RGS.

There are several First Nations which have reserve lands and asserted traditional territory partially or wholly located within the boundaries of the SLRD, as shown on Figure 2 – Aboriginal Communities. The majority belong to the Squamish Nation and the St’át’imc Nation. The traditional territory of the St’át’imc Nation includes the participating St’át’imc communities of Lil’wat (Mount Currie), N’Quát’qua (Anderson Lake), Shalalth (Seton Lake), Nxw’sten (Bridge River), Sekw’el’wás (Cayoose Creek), T’it’q’et (Lillooet), Ts’kw’aylacw (Pavilion), and Xaxl’ip (Fountain) Bands. The In-SHUCK-ch Nation also partially overlaps with the SLRD boundaries and consists of the Samahquam, Skatin and Douglas Bands.

Economic change has been dramatic in the region, with primary resource extraction and manufacturing in decline and being replaced by tourism and service sector jobs as a primary source of income. This trend has been particularly evident in the southern area of the SLRD. The northern part of the SLRD, including Lillooet and surrounding electoral areas, has been challenged by slow population growth and economic change over the past 5-10 years, while the southern communities of the Sea-to-Sky Corridor faced higher growth rates and escalating housing costs. This has created challenges for regional planning, as the needs and goals of these sub-regions vary significantly.



Population Projections

The rate of population growth in the region has been consistently higher than the provincial average, although there has been a province-wide slowing trend over time. The population of the SLRD more than doubled from 16,232 residents to 35,225 residents in the thirty year period from 1976 to 2006 (Census Canada). During this time period, the population in the region increased at an annual rate of approximately 3.9%, while the provincial population increased by 2.3% over the same period. Some of the primary factors driving growth include lifestyle reasons, increasing demand for recreational services, economic and employment opportunities, natural beauty and environmental qualities, and proximity to the Lower Mainland.

Strong, sustained growth is predicted for the SLRD in the next thirty years. The population of the region is projected to almost double again in the period from 2003 to 2031: from 35,141 residents to 68,153 residents (Urban Futures). Figure 3 shows a gradual increase in the annual growth rate from less than one percent in the near term to approximately 2.8 % per year by 2016 before declining to 2.2 percent by 2031 (Urban Futures).

During this period of overall growth, the mix of age groups within the population is expected to change substantially. Figure 4 compares the 2003 and projected 2031 age structure. Senior citizens will form a much larger demographic, resulting in greater demands for health care, housing, recreation and other services related to older age groups. Population growth in First Nations communities will outpace growth in other areas. First Nations populations will have a much younger age profile, resulting in high demands for housing, education and job opportunities. A more detailed analysis of population trends and projections is found in the 2005 SLRD Regional Growth Strategy Base Case Report.

Population change will play a significant role in driving future housing occupancy demand in the region over the next three decades. This is due to the lifecycle of housing occupancy where the propensity to maintain a household increases with age. Figure 4 shows population increasing 94% (33,000 new residents) and housing occupancy demand increasing by 114% between 2003 and 2031(15,459 new dwelling units).

What type of growth is desirable?

The SLRD and its partners recognize the importance of planning for a sustainable future based on a long term vision and the intermediate steps required to take us to our chosen vision. The vision of a sustainable future includes:

Living within the limits imposed by natural systems;

Reducing our dependence on non-renewable resources;

Encouraging zero-waste, re-use and recycling;

Minimizing disturbance of ecological and physical processes;

Managing land, water and air wisely and efficiently;

Recognizing and reducing human impacts leading to climate change;

Understanding the interconnections among economy, society and environment; and

Distributing resources and opportunities fairly and with an awareness of future generations.

Sustaining the region’s exceptional quality of life and stunning natural beauty while managing projected increases in population in the south and stimulating economic recovery in the north is a key priority. Determining what constitutes positive growth for the SLRD and the many communities and rural areas within its boundaries is not a simple matter, as the goals for the diverse parts of the SLRD differ:

For urban areas, there is the need to plan for compact, complete and sustainable communities, to accommodate expected growth over the next 30 years, and to ensure that urban densities are being achieved in the designated growth areas.

For rural areas, land use patterns should support traditional rural lifestyles and economic transitions, while at the same time protect environmental values and resources on which both the urban and rural areas depend, and prevent sprawl and extension of urban services into the rural land base.

RGS Smart Growth Principles1

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and member municipalities collaboratively developed and endorsed Smart Growth principles that are included within a Memorandum of Understandingestablished to guide the preparation of the RGS. These include:

1. Direct urban development towards existing communities (avoiding urban and rural sprawl);

2. Build compact, complete, mixed-use neighbourhoods; 3. Create walkable communities; 4. Promote a variety of low impact transportation options; 5. Advocate a range of affordable housing options; 6. Foster distinct, attractive, economically sustainable communities with a strong sense of

place; ��1 The RGS Smart Growth principles summarize the core values that have guided the development of the RGS and that will also guide its application in the Squamish Lillooet Regional District. �



7. Protect and promote responsible stewardship of green spaces and sensitive areas; 8. Ensure the integrity of a productive agricultural and forestry land base; 9. Endorse energy efficient infrastructure; 10. Ensure early and ongoing public involvement that respects community values and

visions; 11. Cultivate a culture of cooperation, coordination and collaboration between local

governments, provincial agencies, federal agencies, and First Nations.



Part 3: The Strategy

Vision Our vision of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District in 2025 and beyond is of:

Goals

The SLRD and its members will strive to achieve the following nine goals. These broad statements provide the strategic directions that will be used to address growth management challenges over the next 20 years.

Goal 1: Focus Development into Compact, Complete, Sustainable, Communities Goal 2: Improve Transportation Linkages and Options Goal 3: Support a Range of Affordable Housing Goal 4: Achieve a Sustainable Economy Goal 5: Protect Natural Eco-system Functioning Goal 6: Encourage the Sustainable Use of Parks and Natural Areas Goal 7: Create Healthy and Safe Communities Goal 8: Enhance Relations with Aboriginal Communities Goal 9: Improve Collaboration among Jurisdictions

A region comprised of diverse, distinct and liveable communities that share a commitment to: Practice economic, social and environmental sustainability; Protect the region’s natural beauty; Enhance the region’s world-class outdoor recreation; Foster balanced and equitable economic growth; and Make decisions that engage local, provincial, federal and First Nation governments, and reflect the values of communities.



Goal 1: Focus Development into Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities

The Regional Growth Strategy aims to encourage compact, complete sustainable communities as the basis for land use planning throughout the region. ‘Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities’ refers to settlement that takes a long-term view of the quality of life for future generations, promotes the efficient use of land at higher population densities with greater transportation choices, protects agriculture, natural areas and open spaces, and provides an opportunity to live and work in the same community. Focussing settlements into compact, complete, sustainable communities or nodes moves us toward a vision of sustainable, highly liveable communities with accessible services, public spaces, parks, and cultural and recreation amenities.

The Regional Growth Strategy provides a smart growth framework that recognizes a range of opportunities to apply these principles across different settlement types. The purpose of this framework is not to limit development in the region but rather to shape the pattern and quality of development along a more sustainable path. Population growth and settlement development will be primarily directed to compact Urban Areas and Master Planned Communities on the basis of smart growth principles. New urban communities will not be considered outside of the established settlement areas. Non-Settlement Areas that have important agricultural, environmental, back-country recreational, aesthetic and natural resource values will be protected.

It is recognized that detailed planning is required in some parts of the region to further determine the appropriate boundaries for ‘compact, complete, sustainable communities’ during the initial period of the RGS. Special provisions are also included to encourage economic development and urban growth and revitalization in the Lillooet area.

Compact, complete, sustainable communities will be achieved by: o Developing Compact Urban Form - Accommodating major growth within the urban

boundaries of Squamish, Whistler, Pemberton and Lillooet, with appropriate policies for in-fill and increased population density.

o Establishing Long-term Settlement Boundaries - Delineating the existing and future settlement areas and, in accordance with smart growth principles, provide for the phased extension of urban boundaries to clearly distinguish the urban/non-urban edge.

o Maintaining Nodal Development in the Sea to Sky Corridor - Concentrating development in the Howe Sound to D’Arcy corridor into compact, well-planned centres separated by natural resource and rural land uses and avoid the potential for continuous or dispersed linear development.

o Encouraging Urban Growth and Revitalization in Lillooet - Supporting urban development of central Lillooet as the major service centre in the northern sub-region in conjunction with economic development initiatives.



o Promoting More Complete Communities - Providing for a mix of land uses in community development, particularly at Porteau Cove, Furry Creek and Britannia Beach, to enhance the potential for more integrated, complete communities.

o Protecting Rural / Resource Landscapes - Maintaining the integrity of ‘non-settlement’ lands that have particular physical constraints or values, and ensure rural residential or resort development is compatible with the rural landscape.

Settlement Planning Map

A Regional Settlement Planning Map, attached as Map 1, identifies the settlement types and provides the spatial context for growth management strategies. The purpose of this map within the RGS is to guide the land use and community planning processes by defining the long-term urban boundaries where they are known, identifying areas where further planning is required to determine such boundaries, and assisting in delineating the defined non-settlement areas within the region. Land use designations have been mapped to assist the implementation of Goal 1 of the RGS. These include:

Urban Areas – areas designated in Official Community Plans or otherwise identified for existing and future urban growth, including serviced rural residential areas that are contiguous with and functionally part of existing urban areas, but excluding non-settlement areas that have agricultural, environmental, open space, parks and protected areas, hazard lands and other limited use constraints. Table 1 lists the identified Urban Areas.

Non-Urban Settlement Areas – areas designated in Official Community Plans or otherwise classified as Master Planned Community, Rural Community and Serviced Residentialsettlements and for long-term low density Rural Residential land uses, excluding areas that have agricultural, environmental, open space, parks and protected areas, hazard lands and other limited use constraints. Table 1 lists the Non-Urban Settlements: Master Planned Community, Serviced Residential, Rural Community, and Rural Residential Areas.

Non-Settlement Areas – lands designated as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), limited use, environmentally sensitive and hazard lands, parks, open space or protected areas, and Crown forest lands where major settlement development will be discouraged.

The Settlement Areas Planning Map provides a general guide for a regional settlement pattern that reflects a commitment to compact, complete, sustainable communities. This is a conceptual map with an expression of intent with regard to settlement and non-settlement boundaries that will assist more detailed land use planning within Official Community Plans.



Special Planning Areas, identified in Schedule 1, indicate where further long-range land use planning is required on an interim basis in the Lillooet sub-area in conjunction with Official Community Plan review and economic development initiatives. Consistent with the smart growthprinciples endorsed by the member municipalities and the Regional District, the review and updating of Official Community Plans may refine the RGS settlement policies and area designations in this Special Planning Area. Subsequent amendment to the RGS may be required and this is provided for in the RGS Implementation Process.

Strategic Directions:1.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree that:

a) The RGS Settlement Planning Map will be used in conjunction with Official Community Plans to: � encourage compact development within Urban Areas, Master-Planned Communities

and Rural Communities, � maintain the rural, low density character of Serviced Residential and Rural Residential

Areas, and � protect and maintain Non-Settlement Areas.

Official Community Plans should: (i) establish policies that are consistent with the Regional Settlement Planning

Map; (ii) direct major settlement growth to the Urban Areas and Master Planned

Communities; (ii) prevent major settlement growth in Non-Settlement Areas; and (iii) encourage Smart Growth strategies appropriate to the settlement types and

local circumstances. Member municipalities shall: (i) prepare Regional Context Statements which identify the relationship

between an Official Community Plan and the SLRD Regional Growth Strategy (and if applicable, how the Official Community Plan is to be made consistent with the RGS over time),

(ii) submit the Regional Context Statements to the Squamish Lillooet Regional District Board for approval as per s. 866 of the Local Government Act,

(iii) once, approved amend their Official Community Plan to include the approved Regional Context Statement.

If, after the adoption of a Regional Context Statement in an Official Community Plan, a municipality proposes to amend its Official Community Plan and the amendment may affect the Regional Context Statement, the municipality will consult with the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District before proceeding with the Official Community Plan amendment.

b) Urban Areas, as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map 1, the Squamish Settlement Planning Map 1a, the Whistler Settlement Planning Map 1b, and the Pemberton/Mount Currie



Settlement Planning Map 1c, will accommodate most of the future population growth, consistent with smart growth principles applied in Official Community Plans for the District of Squamish, Resort Municipality of Whistler, and Village of Pemberton.2 The objective for these areas is to encourage compact, mixed-use urban communities within well-defined urban boundaries.

c) Master-planned Communities refers to larger scale developments that are planned on a comprehensive basis within the defined boundaries of Britannia Beach, Furry Creek and Porteau Cove,as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map and the Howe Sound Settlement Planning Map 1e. Significant future growth will be accommodated in these communities. The objective for these areas is to encourage compact, clustered residential and local commercial, mixed use developments with distinct edges and full community water and sewer services.

d) Rural Communities are historical, small-scale settlements such as Mount Currie, D’Arcy, and Seton Portage/Shalalth, as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map. The objective for these areas is to encourage compact residential and local commercial and small-scale mixed use developments within distinct small villages or development nodes with community water and sewer services.

e) Serviced Residential Areas will be planned within the defined residential boundaries of Black Tusk Village and Pinecrest Estates, as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map. The objective for these areas is to maintain rural character, encourage compact, clustered, residential developments with community water and sewer services, surrounded by non-settlement resource lands. Serviced Residential Areas will remain as low density residential settlements.

f) Rural Residential Areas will maintain their predominant rural character and land use within defined areas, as shown on the Regional Settlement Planning Map. These areas provide for a variety of rural land uses, particularly low density residential land use on larger parcels with on-site services. The objective for these areas is to protect the rural landscape and to prevent small-lot subdivision and development sprawl outside of the defined areas. Rural Residential Areas will remain with very low density land uses over the long term, except in exceptional circumstances where they may be in transition to Urban Areas, as set out in Official Community Plans and in a manner consistent with smart growth principles.

g) Destination Resorts are defined as self contained, master planned tourism developments in areas of significant natural amenity. Destination resorts provide single or multi-season recreational activities and facilities focusing on intensively developed recreation infrastructure that is directly associated with the provision of sport, leisure, entertainment or similar recreation activities; and include real estate development primarily oriented to short term visitor accommodation (50% or more).

Tourism and resort development is a major part of the regional economy. Any new destination resorts within the region shall complement the sustainable economic development and ��2 The Base Case Study estimated that 84 % of projected population in 2010 and 87% in 2025 will reside within the existing municipal areas, compared to the current 83% of population in 2005.



diversification goals of the RGS and the strategic tourism objectives of the province while balancing sustainability initiatives.

The SLRD, with its spectacular scenery, the success of Whistler, proximity to Vancouver International Airport and the major population concentrations of the Georgia Basin has potential for development of a variety of destination resort types, including mountain (alpine ski) resorts, agri-tourism resorts, golf resorts, health and wellness resorts and land and marine (water-based) resorts. Destination casino resort development in non-settlement areas will not be supported.

A range of destination resort investment opportunities are recognized to exist in the region. Destination resort development will occur only where the following principles can be demonstrated:

(i) Destination Resort developments will only be considered if they are based on significant recreation and natural features that support tourism activities and clearly contribute to the tourism economy of the region.

(ii) Destination Resort developments will be planned and developed on the basis of smart growth principles to ensure compact, complete communities with a minimal ecological footprint.

(iii) Destination Resort developments will be planned and developed in a manner thatminimizes ecological impact on land, water, air quality and wildlife and that adopts best management practices for environmental and natural hazards management, sustainability and building design, including consideration of adjacent forest management issues.

(iv) Destination Resort developments located in remote locations will be planned and developed with self-sufficient infrastructure and services appropriate to the type and scale of development.

(v) Destination Resort developments must be tourism-based and contribute to the regional tourism economy. They must be clearly distinguished as primarily commercial developments, not master-planned residential communities with resort and recreational facilities as secondary features.

(vi) Destination Resort proposals adjacent to designated Urban areas will only be considered in context with the long range growth management policies of those Urban areas.

(vii) Destination Resort development may be approved outside designated Urban areas where they meet the following planning criteria:

H�I The proposed Destination Resort provides urban level public utility services that are strictly contained within the boundaries of the resort development by design and construction. The resort should not be a catalyst for spin off urban development on rural or resource lands. Extension of urban infrastructure (water and sewer systems) outside of urban areas must not be required and the provision of necessary utilities must not provide for development of new urban or rural uses adjacent to or in the vicinity outside the resort boundary. The location, area and configuration of the proposed Destination Resort must be sufficient to provide for a full range of resort facilities while maintaining adequate separation from any adjacent rural or resource land uses.



H�I Overnight accommodation facilities within the resort must be designed and used primarily for short-term public accommodation and be in balance with the capacity of the resort’s facilities (consistent with the BC All Season Resort Guidelines calculation of Balanced Resort Capacity). Full time residences (including a minimum 20 percent employee housing), seasonal private residential units and shared ownership facilities should together comprise less than 50 percent of the total bed units in the resort. Land title restrictions will be required to prevent conversion of short term public rental accommodation units to private short term or permanent residential use.

H�I The proposed Destination Resort must demonstrate market feasibility and provide evidence that public facilities and services are sustainable.

H)I Commercial uses and activities within the Destination Resort shall focus on serving customers within the Destination Resort and located within the resort to minimize the automotive convenience trips for people using the facilities;

H�I Significant natural and cultural features of the site shall be preserved and enhanced to the greatest degree possible; each Destination Resort proposal must be of a type or scale to be a reviewable project under the Environmental Assessment Act.

H�I Adequate emergency services must be available to the resort.

Consistent with the overall vision of the Regional Growth Strategy, future Destination Resorts will be particularly encouraged in the northern areas of the regional district.

h) Non-settlement Areas will be maintained in a predominantly non-settled state without significant urban or rural land development and in accordance with smart growth principles which direct residential development toward compact communities and maintain the integrity of the resource lands that separate the settlement areas. Major land developments will be limited to agricultural developments in the Agricultural Land Reserve, resource extraction and industrial uses (forestry, mining, etc.) on resource lands, Backcountry Resorts and Destination Resorts without residential components. Residential development in the designated Non-Settlement Areas will be discouraged by generally maintaining subdivision minimum parcel sizes of 40 ha.

i) Special Planning Areas will provide for more detailed sub-regional planning and will include the following areas identified on the Regional Settlement Planning Map 1 and the Lillooet & Area Settlement Planning Map 1d:

(i) Lillooet and Area Sub-regional Economic Enhancement Strategy: The objectives are to establish economic development strategies in conjunction with Goal 4 of the RGS –Achieve a Sustainable Economy and to establish a framework for coordinated local government – First Nations land use planning through the ongoing OCP review process, assisted by transportation improvements (Goal 2). This strategy may identify suitable community revitalization, destination resort, tourism and resource industry development opportunities.



j) Future Growth Nodes as shown on the Pemberton/Mount Currie Settlement Planning Map 1c are areas deemed to have potential for the development of residential (Mosquito/Ivey Lake and the Benchlands), commercial or industrial uses (Rutherford Creek area and the Pemberton airport). These areas will require further review to determine their development potential. The objective within these areas is to encourage compact, mixed use communities within well-defined boundaries.

k) Settlement Planning Map Amendment – Proposed changes to designation boundaries, through RGS revision, must be based on clearly defined smart growth principles and demonstrate a commitment to the concept of ‘Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities’ as described in the RGS.

Goal 2: Improve Transportation Linkages and Options

The Regional Growth Strategy intends to promote transportation choices across the region and to support an improved regional transportation system that sustains compact, liveable communities, economic vibrancy and a healthy environment.

The Regional Growth Strategy:

(i) Encourages the development of neighbourhoods and communities that are compact with a mix of land uses, well-connected streets and trails, and a pedestrian friendly environment to encourage active forms of transportation.

(ii) Supports minimizing auto-dependency where possible, and increasing transportation choices and connectivity within the region and between the region and the Lower Mainland and the Interior.

(iii) Supports the development of a regional transit system that is convenient, efficient, integrated with land uses and other transportation modes, and is financially sustainable.

(iv) Supports improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the regional road network (access, mobility, safety, reliability), making better use of capacity and managing issues such as traffic volumes, speed, noise and air quality.

Transportation needs in the regional growth strategy have been identified as an expression of local priorities for improvements. Where the province has responsibility for local roads, improvement decisions will be based on a proper evaluation that considers cost and benefits and impact on safety. In the northern part of the region, safety concerns, the need for highway service improvement, and the lack of public and/or private transportation options are the primary transportation issues. Improvements to the Duffey Lake Road and other northern routes [Hurley Forest Service Road (FSR), In-Shuck-CH FSR, Highway 40, Highway 12, and the Highline Road / Douglas Trail] are suggested in order to improve accessibility, enhance safety and support economic development.

In the southern part of the region, safety concerns and level of service/capacity constraints are being addressed by the Sea-to-Sky Highway upgrade. The transportation focus is thus to integrate land uses in a way that minimizes auto-dependency, to maintain and further improve current levels of transit ridership, human-powered modes of transportation and car-pooling, and to facilitate the development of an efficient regional approach to transit service. Ensuring compact land use patterns with high quality pedestrian environments and a mix of land uses will increase transport options, reduce air pollution and lower the risk of accidents.

Transportation will be improved by: o Building cooperation among stakeholders and pursuing collaborative regional

transportation solutions that anticipate projected population growth.



o Adhering to smart growth principles to create compact, walkable communities and neighbourhoods that provide transportation choices and support efficient public transit.

o Promoting a Transportation Demand Management (TDM) approach, increasing average vehicle occupancy, in the Sea to Sky Corridor that support an integrated and viable transportation system that is efficient, clean, flexible, convenient, attractive and affordable.

o Expanding alternative transportation choices / options to reduce reliance on single-occupant vehicle travel within neighbourhoods and communities.

o Addressing connectivity (inter-regional and intra-regional) between communities, especially in the north and with adjacent regions.

o Working collaboratively to promote a high level of highway service across the region (access, mobility, safety and reliability) that will move more people, goods and services efficiently.

Strategic Directions:2.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:

a) Strongly encourage compact, mixed use developments that allow for minimized use of vehicles and encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transit,

This will be pursued by implementing Goal 1 –Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities, whereby land uses are integrated so that people can easily accomplish basic trips on foot or bicycles; retail development is clustered near residential to attract more walking trips; residential developments are in close proximity (within walking distance) to parks, schools, transit, shops and services; pedestrian friendly environments exist that are safe, vibrant, and interesting for those who walk, cycle and take transit; and streets and trail networks are highly interconnected, reducing distance and time needed to get from one place to another.

b) Consider a model for the provision of regional transit services that will:

� assess opportunities to develop regular bus services between the major centres;

� initiate further transit studies and initiatives with the aim of increasing transit ridership;

� undertake long range transit planning, implementing transit provisions in the Sea to Sky Highway upgrade project and integrating transit facilities within updated Official Community Plans;

� improve connectivity of ferry/rail/bus infrastructure, especially in downtown Squamish;

� consider marine transportation opportunities between Squamish and Vancouver/Richmond; and

� encourage transportation improvements and transit opportunities in regional tourism development, including tourism operators promoting transit use by their employees and customers.

c) Work with the Ministry of Transportation and other agencies to improve the safety and reliability of the regional road network, taking account of priorities identified by the Regional



Transportation Advisory Committee, member councils of the regional district and First Nations.

Table 2 Regional Road Network Improvement Priorities identifies regional priorities. These will be pursued by encouraging priority road improvements that reflect safety and reliability needs in the region. Particular note is made of the Duffey Lake – Lillooet – Highway 12 route improvements that will enhance economic development and urban growth opportunities in the Lillooet area, the potential upgrades in the Whistler-Pemberton corridor, and long range planning of southern alternative routes. Discussions with Ministry of Forests are also proposed to address road access and maintenance issues in certain rural areas.

d) Encourage the continued development of trails and bicycle routes that provide for safe hiking and biking in the region.

This will be pursued through discussions with community organisations, Sea to Sky Trail and Friendship Trail (Pemberton to Mt. Currie) participants, the Ministry of Transportation, the Ministry of Tourism, Sport and the Arts, CN Rail and property owners. The trail/routes will facilitate transportation alternatives and outdoor recreation activities within a regional trails and bicycle network.

e) Approach the issue of regional air service in a coordinated manner, undertaking a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities) that takes into account regional demands, and the various advantages and constraints associated with the existing airports infrastructure and business plans.

This will be pursued in conjunction with Goal 4 – Achieve a Sustainable Economy.

f) Support region-wide 911 and cell phone service to enhance the safety of the public in remote areas in the event of an accident or emergency situation through improved communication with emergency responders.

g) Support broadband internet services that promote local employment opportunities close to home (encouraging telecommuting) and reducing travel needs.

These will both be pursued in conjunction with economic development functions of the regional district and discussions with service providers to enhance region-wide cell phone service for better travel safety in remote areas, and broadband internet services that promote economic development / local employment opportunities close to home.

2.2 Road system improvement priorities at the regional level are summarized on the Road Network Improvement Priorities on Table 2. These are presented as a guide for gradual long-term upgrading of the road system recognizing that provincial funding allocations are based on cost-benefit evaluations.

Goal 3: Support a Range of Quality Affordable Housing The Regional Growth Strategy aspires to improve the provision of quality affordable housing and support a range of housing types in the region.3 Affordable housing is intended for households of low and moderate incomes - those that have household earning 80% or less than the area’s median income reported by Statistics Canada in the previous Census. However, many low to middle income regional residents and employees face affordability issues. In the south especially, affordability is an issue even with above-average household incomes that may exceed affordable housing benchmarks. Whistler has important experience in its efforts to house three-quarters of its workforce in the municipality. Also, with increasing numbers of seniors in the region, it will be crucial to create a variety of housing options that meet these particular needs.

Affordable housing is recognized as a regional issue, needing cooperative approaches that build upon a common strategy to support a range of quality affordable housing across the region.


(i) Supports a regional forum for affordable housing that will serve to strengthen communication and coordination of local efforts by municipalities, housing authorities and community organizations.

(ii) Encourages higher-density and mixed use neighbourhoods with housing close to where residents live, work and play as part of the solution to the affordability issue. This strategy could involve incentives for targeted affordable units, infill housing, units above commercial space and mixed use developments that address the needs of families, singles, seniors and low-income earners.

Expanded housing choice and affordability will be achieved by: o Building cooperation among stakeholders and pursuing collaborative regional affordable

housing solutions;

o Adhering to Smart Growth principles to create communities that advocate a range of affordable housing options within Official Community Plans;

o Creating a range of housing types for seniors and other population groups with special needs and lifestyles;

o Securing a range of housing that remains affordable for local employees and residents over the long-term;

o Integrating affordable housing in existing communities and in close proximity to services;

o Promoting consistent affordable housing policies across the region, drawing upon lessons learned to date.

Strategic Directions: 3.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:

a) Establish a regional Affordable Housing Strategy that encourages innovative and alternative methods for the provision of affordable housing, such as regional housing trust funds, partnerships with non-profit organizations, and exchange of experiences.

��3 Affordable housing means rental or ownership housing priced so that monthly payments are less than 30% of gross household income.



This will be pursued in discussions between member municipalities and electoral areas, and through the creation of an affordable housing committee within the regional district.

b) Adopt policies and regulations that support live-work studio space, mixed-use neighbourhoods, and a variety of residential intensification strategies such as allowing secondary suites, providing for ‘flex-housing’ (a multi-unit built form designed for adaptability of units to accommodate changing family size and needs over time), encouraging infill housing and small lot development, density bonusing and other tools that will support housing affordability.

This will be pursued in the review and updating of Official Community Plans and the overall development of an affordable housing strategy within the region.

c) Encourage affordable housing self-help initiatives by community organizations and individuals to maintain and/or increase the supply of affordable housing (e.g., community housing land trusts, non-profit, locally controlled entities that acquire and hold land in perpetuity so that it can be used for affordable housing).

This will be pursued in discussions with these organizations and in the review and updating of OCPs to identify affordable housing land supply options, and by maximizing the use of existing provincial and federal government housing programs and advocating for increased funding for affordable housing.

d) Adopt financial tools that will assist in the delivery of accessible family housing, such as cash-in-lieu of social housing contributions, waiving development cost charges, property tax exemptions, and lands grants.

This will be pursued as part of an affordable housing strategy and in decision making by the Regional Board in regard to social housing proposals.

e) Adopt, as appropriate, deed-restricted price, resale control, rent geared to income and other options to increase the supply of affordable housing and create housing that remains affordable in perpetuity.

This will be pursued by as part of an affordable housing strategy and through discussions on lessons learned by the Whistler Housing Authority and in affordable housing experiences in Squamish and Pemberton.

f) Encourage cooperation with community service groups and private developers to supply low-cost housing options for seniors with the aim of maximizing independence and self reliance and promoting continued socialization and the ability to age in place.

This will be pursued in the review of residential and commercial development proposals and in the review and updating of Official Community Plans in regard to congregate care and independent living developments for seniors.



Goal 4: Achieve a Sustainable Economy The Regional Growth Strategy supports the development of a healthy economy as a vital component of a liveable, sustainable region. Fostering economic development throughout the regional district where social, economic, environmental, and community values are addressed in a balanced and sustainable manner is of particular importance. Sustainable economic development will contribute to the liveability of the region, helping to sustain the quality of life we all desire and will help reverse the economic decline in the northern part of the region. Throughout the region, economic development efforts need to be proactive and collaborative, identifying economic partnerships and opportunities and implementing workable strategies to achieve them.


(i) Promotes northern development initiatives that contribute to a wider geographic balancing of economic growth throughout the region.

(ii) Supports strengthening transportation linkages within the region and with the Interior and the Lower Mainland that support new investment.

(iii) Supports undertaking various investment strategies (industrial, tourism, agriculture, etc.) at a regional and sub-regional level that complement sustainable economic development and diversification and assist the transition from traditional resource industries.

A sustainable economy will be achieved by: o Building cooperation among stakeholders and pursuing collaborative regional economic

development solutions;

o Adhering to smart growth principles to foster distinct, attractive, economically sustainable communities with a strong sense of place;

o Diversifying the regional economy, including support for opportunities in Arts and Culture, and expanding the opportunity for a range of employment types and pay levels;

o Supporting small businesses and encouraging local spending;

o Recognizing the existing and potential regional, provincial and international markets for agricultural products;

o Engaging the business community to provide leadership and support for sustainable economic development initiatives, including partnering with First Nations;

o Improving regional transportation infrastructure;

o Increasing the supply of affordable housing for people living in the region; and addressing the affordability of goods and services for local residents, particularly for those with low or moderate incomes to increase residents’ ability to remain in the region and add to its social fabric; and

o Exploring the potential for a regional industrial development strategy.

Strategic Directions:4.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:



a) Prepare a development strategy for northern SLRD that involves a broad range of business and community interests, the Province, the Federal Government in establishing a northern economic development partnership.

This will be pursued by undertaking a series of strategic initiatives that will guide future investment in the Lillooet area economy in collaboration with First Nations, and re-establishing a SLRD economic development function.

b) Support urban growth and revitalization efforts in Lillooet to expand the range of opportunities for community development beyond the Sea to Sky corridor, and to further encourage smart growth policies adopted in RGS Goal 1 -‘Compact, Complete, Sustainable Communities’.

This will be pursued by sub-regional economic development initiatives and updating of the Lillooet Official Community Plan and transportation improvements in conjunction with the Ministry of Transportation and the St’át’imc Nation.

c) Consider developing further specific sector-based development strategies appropriate to the region. For example: Regional Industrial Strategy; Regional Aggregate Resources Strategy; Regional Tourism Strategy; Regional Arts and Cultural strategy (focussing on tourism, arts, culture, performing arts); Alternative Energy; Education; Agriculture; Timber and non-timber Forest Resources; and local manufacturing which utilizes local resources.

This may be pursued by re-establishing a SLRD economic development function and targeting specific, comparative advantages for further assessment and promotion of regional economic investment.

d) Strengthen the multi-modal transportation systems as a key component of economic diversification.

This will be pursued as described under RGS Goal 2 – Improve Transportation Linkages and Options.

e) Work together to enhance the national and international awareness of the SLRD and its member municipalities as welcoming environments for sustainable business investments.

This will be pursued by re-establishing a SLRD economic development function and recognizing the economic development opportunities associated with providing adequate supply of industrial land with good access to the Interior and the Lower Mainland.

f) Undertake Agriculture Plans for Lillooet sub-region and the Pemberton Valley in conjunction with First Nations, Ministry of Agriculture and Lands and the Agricultural Land Commission that will provide the basis for new agricultural investment and protection of the ALR.

This will be pursued by the regional district staff in consultation with farmers and the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands and subject to availability of funding.

g) Further the work undertaken by the SLRD to advance a regional IPP development strategy in context with integrated watershed management that provides a framework for long term IPP development. This will be pursued by the regional district in collaboration with UBCM.



Goal 5: Protect Natural Ecosystem Functioning The Regional Growth Strategy seeks to protect ecosystem functioning and to conserve and steward its natural assets. These assets include both renewable and non-renewable resources including living organisms, water, air, land, vegetation and the habitats and ecological processes that support living organisms. The quality of life in the region is directly dependent on maintaining our natural assets. Population growth in the SLRD is based in large part on the quality of life offered by the region, and with future opportunities in the tourism industry dependent on the natural environment, the Regional Growth Strategy intends to protect environmental quality and retain its spectacular natural assets.


(i) Supports minimizing adverse impacts by carefully managing where and how development occurs, how wastes are reduced and how resources are managed; and

(ii) Supports promoting ecological restoration and enhancement opportunities.

The Regional Growth Strategy embraces smart growth principles to guide future development and settlement patterns in a manner that best conserves natural capital and promotes natural ecosystem functioning. Issues that are of concern to the region’s residents include: air quality, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, visual quality, water quality, wildlife habitat fragmentation, environmental degradation and natural hazards.

Natural ecosystem functioning will be protected by: o Protecting critical and sensitive habitats and ecological areas;

o Promoting connectivity through landscape level planning and maintaining and creating wildlife corridors;

o Maintaining the integrity of watershed processes and promoting the use of best management practices in land use planning and vegetation management (e.g., land use planning and management based on natural units and systems such as drainage, watersheds and ecosystems);

o Maintaining healthy air and water quality throughout the region;

o Promoting best management practices in water conservation and surface/ground water management;

o Implementing a regional strategy aimed at reducing solid and liquid wastes;

o Undertaking noxious weed and invasive species control initiatives;

o Promoting public education of environmental issues and stewardship;

o Being prepared for the potential consequences of climate change on the region’s natural resources



Strategic Directions5.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:

a) Consolidate existing information into an inventory (data set) of regional ecologically-sensitive areas and biodiversity values, and further develop the Sea to Sky Sensitive Habitat Atlas as a planning tool (or coarse filter) for determining significant ecologically sensitive areas (ESA’s) and natural biodiversity of the region that will assist in land use decision-making.

This will be pursued through collaboration with federal and provincial agencies, regional districts and local conservation organizations.

b) Promote Best Management Practices, including bylaws that encourage development design that limits environmental impact and promotes integrated stormwater management, to manage surface water, drainage and groundwater to protect the supply and quality of water resources.

This will be pursued by incorporating appropriate measures in OCPs, regulatory bylaws and public works programs.

c) Investigate the need for a regional or sub-regional water conservation strategy, aimed at educating residents on water conservation methods and reducing water consumption and introduction of tools for water conservation and demand management (e.g., metering, pricing incentives).

This will be pursued through ongoing drinking water improvement plans and review of community water service operations.

d) Strive for continuous improvement of regional air quality.

This will be pursued through implementation of the Sea to Sky Air Quality Management Plan and the region-wide use of good planning principles such as Smart Growth, the promotion of a carbon-neutral region, support of new technologies, and the use of clean energy sources.

e) Strive toward achieving Zero Waste as a means of reducing waste generation levels beyond the current 50% target.

This will be pursued by implementation of the SLRD Solid Waste Management Plan.

f) Take an active approach to responsible vegetation management, including, where appropriate, consideration of alternatives to herbicides in rights-of-way maintenance, and cost-effective measures to control the spread of noxious weeds and alien invasive species.

This will be pursued by promoting alternatives to chemical treatments, and investigating introduction of a noxious weed bylaw and awareness program (e.g., restricting fill movements, etc.).



g) Encourage community involvement and stewardship efforts, including the adoption of BearSmart programs at the local level, and habitat conservation, restoration and enhancement.

This will be pursued through discussions with federal and provincial agencies and conservation organizations.

h) Explore the feasibility of preparing a regional climate change strategy that would examine the potential consequences of global warming on the region’s flora, fauna and water supplies and identifies strategies for taking local action on climate change. This will be pursued through discussions with federal and provincial agencies, conservation organizations and the Union of BC Municipalities, and through the promotion of energy efficiency and conservation.

i) Explore the possibility of becoming the first regional district in Canada to adopt the Natural Step program, which in summary acknowledges that in a sustainable society, nature is not subject to systematically increasing: 1) concentrations of substances extracted from the Earth’s crust;2) concentrations of substances produces by society; 3) degradation by physical means

and, in that society, 4) people are not subject to conditions that systematically undermine their capacity to

meet their needs.



Goal 6: Encourage the Sustainable Use of Parks and Natural Areas The Regional Growth Strategy advocates the sustainable use and appropriate management of parks and natural areas, to protect wildlife habitat and corridors and to maintain open space for active and passive recreation.

Natural area conservation is a priority in the two most urban municipalities within the SLRD (e.g. see RMOW 2002, District of Squamish 2002). However, a broader perspective is necessary given that SLRD communities, and in particular the smaller municipalities and settlement areas throughout most of the region, are characterized by predominantly “natural” and rural surroundings. The RGS promotes the sustainable use and management of parks and natural areas on a regional level in context with the Provincial Land and Resource Management Plans. Promoting the sustainable use and management of parks and natural areas on a regional level will contribute to their management by other levels of government. Defining areas for new local and regional parks and green space will create a legacy for future generations and ensure a diversity of recreational opportunities.


(i) Supports maintaining the designated non-settlement areas for rural, agricultural and forestry land uses (including agricultural development in the Agricultural Land Reserve), and the protection of ecological and recreational values.

(ii) Supports the establishment of a regional district ‘Green Plan’ network of local and regional parks and greenways for the purpose of recreational activities, wildlife habitats and natural ecological functions, consistent with the Provincial LRMP.

A diversity of sustainable outdoor recreational opportunities will be created and enhanced by:

o Establishing a regional network of greenways for ecosystem, wildlife and recreational functions;

o Promoting responsible stewardship of green spaces and sensitive areas;

o Protecting public access to public lands and waterways in conjunction with the Lillooet and Sea to Sky Land and Resource Management Plans (LRMPs);

o Promoting / ensuring a variety of accessible recreational facilities;

o Ensuring opportunities for wilderness /natural (primitive) experiences;

o Recognizing significant places noted in First Nations Land Use Plans;

o Harmonizing local, provincial & First Nations Land Use plans with respect to recreation;

o Building upon our reputation as a world-class outdoor recreation destination.




a) Support the retention and continued operation of existing provincial parks as recreational and natural areas and support adventure tourism activities that are appropriate to the long term goals of the park.

b) Explore the various options for managing green spaces and natural areas at a regional level (e.g. the establishment of a regional parks function).

This will be pursued by investigating the potential for a regional parks system and region-wide conservation strategy. A ‘no net loss’ policy for important natural areas will also be considered as part of a Conservation Strategy.

c) Support the creation (and management) of an inter-connected network of regional green spaces / corridors to serve as recreation and wildlife corridors, growth boundaries and wildfire interface areas.

This will be pursued by considering preparation of a regional district ‘Green Plan’ in collaboration with local conservation and recreation organizations and First Nations and in conjunction with actions to implement RGS Goal 5 and relevant provisions of the Provincial LRMPs.

d) Continue supporting the development of the Sea to Sky Trail as a regional amenity, continue advancing the goals of the Sea to Sky Recreation Trails Program and explore possibilities to connect the Sea to Sky Trail to, or have it become part of, the Trans Canada Trail.

This will be pursued in collaboration with provincial, regional and local land managers including the Agricultural Land Commission, land owners in the ALR, clubs and stakeholders to preserve and maintain existing trails and plan new trails for the future.

e) Compile (from existing sources) and undertake a new inventory of the variety and features of recreational opportunities & facilities available in the region and linkage opportunities.

This inventory will be pursued by coordinating trail planning with settlement and transportation plans and considering trails within a regional parks system. It will identify forest road recreation access opportunities and issues, boat launching potential and other backcountry recreation interests of regional stakeholders.

f) Continue to support local, voluntary organizations in stewardship of recreational areas and natural assets.

This will be pursued in conjunction with federal, provincial and private sector environmental conservation and restoration programs.



Goal 7: Create Healthy and Safe Communities The Regional Growth Strategy supports the creation of healthy, secure, safe and accessible communities. A healthy community approach is one that is continually improving the physical and social environments that people live, learn, work and play in. They are mutually supportive and allow individuals the opportunity to live in a healthy, safe and meaningful society.

The SLRD and its partners acknowledge that local governments have the ability to influence many of the determinants of community health and safety, given the interaction between land use and design, transportation planning, environmental protection, multi-hazard mitigation and recreation. The healthy communities approach includes community involvement, political commitment, volunteerism, partnerships among different community interests, and public policy that supports community health. Building complete communities with compact development can promote healthy lifestyles, including walking or cycling to work and services, and will improve environmental sustainability. The Winds of Change Document in Pemberton – Mount Currie “neighbours, friends and relatives working together to reduce the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol on our communities”, provides a model for community action on social issues.


(i) Supports the integration of health promotion and emergency preparedness in community planning and development.

(ii) Promotes cooperative, community-based initiatives to address health and safety issues.

Healthy and safe communities will be created by: o Developing mixed-use, pedestrian-oriented, complete communities and neighbourhoods.

o Maintaining and strengthening sense of place, with a strong community spirit.

o Creating opportunities for improving the quality of life so that people will choose to live and remain in the region.

o Enhancing accessibilities for people with disabilities.

o Promoting high quality (level, range and appropriateness) health, social, cultural, educational, recreational, and commercial services to meet the needs of people of various ages, abilities, and income levels.

o Respecting and celebrating ethnic and cultural diversity, including First Nations heritage.

o Ensuring a safe community through attention to drug awareness, policing, and emergency preparedness.

o Bringing provincial and community partners together to work in collaboration towards the common goal of keeping our communities safe.

o Establishing 911 emergency services through-out the region.



Strategic Directions 7.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:

a) Work in conjunction with regional health authorities, local social development organizations, School Districts, RCMP and Tribal Police to promote healthy public policy.

b) Encourage a regional strategic plan, in conjunction with the RCMP and Tribal Police, which would focus on crime prevention, harm reduction, rehabilitation and reintegration, and restorative justice.

This will be pursued through discussions with provincial and federal agencies. It will build upon the Winds of Change: A Healing Vision – a Pemberton, Mount Currie program based on four principles promoting healthy lifestyle choices, increasing awareness, improving services and community leadership and responsibility.

c) Ensure land use planning encourages the development of healthy, compact and walkable communities that promote safety through environmental design and smart growth principles, natural hazards protection and FireSmart principles, and provisions for seniors and handicapped accessibility.

This will be pursued in the review and updating of Official Community Plans.

d) Undertake integrated, coordinated emergency preparedness planning on a regional basis, including strategic planning for fire protection services, natural hazards management and expanding 911 emergency services.

This will be pursued by a Regional District committee and staff.

e) Encourage a well-functioning system of volunteerism that recognizes and acknowledges the ongoing contributions of those who improve our communities’ well-being.

This will be pursued by engaging community organizations and citizens in the planning and delivery of appropriate social and community support services.

f) Work in conjunction with appropriate local agencies and vulnerable, at-risk populations to address short-term solutions and long-term strategies.

This will be pursued through discussions with provincial and federal agencies.

g) Support the development of infrastructure / recreational trail and greenway systems that link communities with regional parks.



Goal 8: Enhance Relations with Aboriginal Communities The Regional Growth Strategy seeks to enhance our working relationships with the Squamish, Lil’wat and St’át’imc Nations. The SLRD recognizes the significant opportunity to build constructive and enduring relationships with aboriginal communities through the RGS process and this work provides a foundation for continued constructive dialogue into the future on regional land use and growth management issues. As part of the RGS public consultation process, the SLRD board and staff sought innovative and effective ways to involve the First Nations communities of the region in the development of the RGS, through invitations to participate in orientation and information-sharing, Elected Officials Forums and technical working groups4.

As well. a sub-regional planning study for the Village of Pemberton, SLRD Electoral Area C and the Lil’wat Nation was undertaken within the regional growth strategy for managing long-term urban growth in the Pemberton-Mt. Currie area and to address other areas of interest in Area C.

The planning process included the assessment of population and demographics, requirements for residential and commercial/industrial land in the area and the preparation of constraint mapping.

Next, some planning scenarios were developed that did or did not accommodate the potential population growth. This growth was allocated to specific geographic areas (such as the proposed Benchlands area, infill in the Village, and other new potential growth areas). Spreadsheets were prepared to show the timing of potential development against potential population scenarios, including potential dwelling shortfalls.

Through the course of the project, the consultant was advised by a Steering Committee of staff and consultants from the SLRD, the Village, the Lil’wat Nation, and the Ministry of Community Services. There were also two elected officials forums and two public meetings held to discuss the project, present findings, and receive feedback.

The planning area for the sub-regional planning study includes the Lil’wat traditional territory and includes all land within Electoral Area C, the Village of Pemberton, and Mt. Currie reserve lands. The planning exercise suggested that, in addition to the Benchlands adjacent the village, the immediate environs of Pemberton (including, Mosquito Lake/Ivey Lake area, and the lower slopes between the Pemberton Plateau and Mt. Currie) are suitable and needed over the long term to accommodate future population growth. The study also identified a potential long term shortage of developable industrial land and recommended consideration of an industrial designation for land in the Rutherford Creek area. The Ivey/Mosquito Lake and lower slopes lands have been designated in the RGS mapping as “Future Growth Node.” The OCP for Electoral Area C should consider incorporating an appropriate industrial designation in the Rutherford Creek area.

In addition to land use planning, building strong and respectful working relationships with First Nations is especially important given the many development pressures and challenges in the region and the complexity of issues facing all levels of government. While the Squamish, Lil’wat and St’át’imc Nations are not signatories to a RGS under the Local Government Act, there are mutual benefits in coordinating land use and servicing issues. The strategic direction under RGS recognizes the implications for aboriginal communities and endeavours to set up processes to align Regional District and First Nations’ visions and plans, without prejudice to treaty negotiations

��4 The Lil'wat Nation's involvement in the RGS does not constitute in any way consultation and accommodation for any infringement of any aboriginal rights and aboriginal title, whether or not substantiated in law, of the Lil'wat Nation and neither in any way does such involvement abrogate or derogate from the aboriginal rights and aboriginal title of the Lil'wat Nation nor is it intended to provide, and it does not provide, a release, settlement or agreement for any claims or infringement of aboriginal rights and aboriginal title, arising directly or indirectly, in any way.�



or other negotiations with senior governments, recognizing that we have a common interest in a sustainable future.


(i) Supports expanding the means of dialogue and cooperation with First Nations.

(ii) Supports establishing MOU’s between aboriginal communities and local governments that address issues of mutual concern.

Relations with Aboriginal Communities will be enhanced by: o Formalizing communication and information-sharing protocols.

o Building a co-operative relationship by continuing to support Community Forums.

o Understanding and respecting the differences between the distinct government authorities, their jurisdictions and responsibilities.

o Acknowledging that the residents in the entire region are best served by native and non-native governments working together in a spirit of cooperation.

o Advocating resolution and accommodation of Aboriginal title and rights.

o Encouraging land use planning and service partnerships and other collaborative activities among the SLRD, member municipalities and aboriginal communities.


a) Support processes that advocate the fair and timely resolution of asserted aboriginal rights and title for all aboriginal communities falling within the SLRD’s boundaries.

This will be pursued through ongoing consultation with First Nations and senior governments.

b) Establish a SLRD-First Nations Liaison Committee to work on information sharing protocols and consultation tools on matters of joint interest such as land use planning, servicing, economic development, etc. This will be pursued through discussions with First Nations.

c) Consultation with aboriginal communities with regards to the development of Official Community Plans and further regional growth strategy implementation plans shall be encouraged and proceed without prejudice to any aboriginal rights or title that may currently exist, or be further defined through treaty or other processes. This will be pursued through referral of OCPs to adjacent First Nations.

d) Encourage First Nations to consult with local governments on the development of their land use plans.



This will be pursued by discussions with First Nations and referral processes to encourage coordinated local government – Indian Reserve land use planning and to jointly improve servicing efficiency and community liveability.

e) Continue using tools, such as Protocol / Communications Agreements and Memorandums of Understanding, with all interested First Nation bands in the region to assist with improving relationships.



Goal 9: Improve Collaboration among Jurisdictions Decision making over land use, health, safety, natural resources, environmental protection and many other issues of concern to residents within the regional district is a shared responsibility. The Regional Growth Strategy intends to improve collaboration between all levels of government within the region: municipal, regional, provincial, federal and First Nations. Better collaboration can lead to improved coordination and cooperation which in turn can reduce duplication and inefficiencies in local governance and improve service delivery. It also builds on the core competencies of existing jurisdictions so that limited resources are utilized efficiently.

The Regional Growth Strategy supports expanding the opportunities for participation and communication in Regional District decision making.

Collaboration among jurisdictions will be improved by: o Making decisions in ways that are inclusive, coordinated, and transparent, based on mutual

respect, respect for the rights of others, and a culture of collaborative management;

o Promoting early and on-going communication, and collaborative dialogue among jurisdictions with an interest in the regional district;

o Continuing to develop a collaborative, multi-faceted approach to governance.

Strategic Directions 9.1 The SLRD and member municipalities agree to:

a) Continue using the round table format (i.e., RGS Elected Officials Forums) on a regular basis as a means for continued cross-regional communication and coordination.

This will be pursued through consultation activities related to a variety of regional issues.

b) Encourage our staff (administrators, planners, finance, engineering, etc.) to develop mechanisms by which they may share information, collaborate and co-operate with their respective peers across the jurisdictions including, but not limited to: regular staff meetings, referral systems, working committees, etc.This will be pursued by through collaborative approaches to regional and trans-boundary issues.

c) Establish MOU’s, protocol agreements and working committees between various jurisdictions (i.e., local, regional, First Nation, provincial and federal) to improve collaboration and coordination. This will be pursued through consultation activities related to a variety of regional issues.

d) Utilize ground rules and other protocol measures established in advance to assist with inter-jurisdictional disputes and conflict resolution.

This will be pursued through consultation activities related to a variety of regional issues.



Part 4: Implementation and Monitoring

The RGS is intended as a strategic guide to future land use development and services in accordance with the Local Government Act. The operational challenges will include managing settlement growth in a manner that is consistent with the RGS Smart Growth principles while also preventing development sprawl in the rural and resource areas, improving transportation systems in a way that enhances efficiency, safety and sustainability goals, and developing the processes for communication and cooperation between local government, provincial and federal agencies and First Nations in a common commitment to responsible land use planning and management.

Implementation Process

The RGS implementation process will involve the following tasks:

a) The development and adoption of Regional Context statements within Official Community Plans, as required by the Local Government Act;

b) The development of a RGS implementation program based on the directives contained in the RGS where the SLRD undertakes the required follow-up action;

c) The development and application of specific Implementation Agreements between SLRD and member municipalities, provincial agencies and First Nations, where they can assist in addressing mutual concerns;

d) Progress reporting to the Regional Board on implementation of the RGS strategic directives presented in the preceding pages;

e) Monitoring of core indicators of achievement of the RGS Goals (Table 3); f) Ongoing monitoring of Quality of Life and Environmental Indicators (Appendix B); and g) The completion of the Lillooet Sub-Regional Economic Planning Study, which may result in

amendments to the RGS.

Implementation Agreements

Implementation Agreements (IA) will provide operational tools for ongoing RGS implementation. These agreements will identify processes and activities to implement certain provisions of the RGS.

The implementation agreements will provide for the development of collaborative land use planning processes and relationships with a focus on the following implementation objectives:

To resolve specific issues related to the application of the RGS including delineating the final settlement area boundaries where this may be required.

It is proposed to prepare a RGS Implementation Agreement on Growth Management – an MOU between SLRD and the member municipalities that further defines the manner in which long-term settlement growth and development will be encouraged consistent with the RGS. This will focus on preparation of Regional Context Statements to be included within Official Community Plans and the role of the RGS Settlement Planning Map in growth management.

To further coordinate and harmonize local government planning and Crown land and resource management decision making.

It is proposed that a RGS Implementation Agreement on Crown Land - RGS Coordination beprepared - an MOU between SLRD and Integrated Land Management Bureau that outlines the



process for coordination of RGS directives with implementation of the Sea to Sky LRMP and the application of Crown land adjudication processes in the context of RGS.

To further develop effective dialogue and working relationships with First Nations regarding their economic development aspirations and best practices/sustainable land use strategies.

It is proposed to prepare RGS Implementation Agreements on First Nations Land Use Planning and Development – MOUs between SLRD and specified First Nations that establish an arrangement, without prejudice to ongoing treaty negotiations, for information exchange and coordination of land use planning of Crown land transfers and other land development initiatives in an effort to encourage cooperative approaches to long term development and sustainability.

To develop an effective RGS minor amendment process for member municipalities.

It is proposed that a RGS Implementation Agreement on minor RGS amendments be prepared that outlines the process for review and assessment of minor RGS amendments.

Performance Monitoring

Monitoring has two purposes – to measure progress in RGS implementation and to measure substantive improvements in the core conditions or results that are targeted by the RGS.

To facilitate the monitoring and reporting process, Table 3 presents the key indicators that will be used to measure overall implementation of the RGS. Data sources and reporting procedures will be specified in the Implementation Agreement. More detailed monitoring may occur using a broader range of quality of life and environmental indicators as shown in Appendix B.

Minor Amendments

Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and member municipalities will work to ensure Official Community Plan policies are consistent with the RGS Settlement Planning Map, or provide for aprocess that will lead to consistency over time, recognizing the economic, social and environmental benefits of compact community development, with particular attention to growth management that assists economic development in Pemberton and revitalization of the Lillooet area.

Amendments to the Regional Growth Strategy may only be made by bylaw. Under the Local Government Act a RGS amendment bylaw, other than one that is considered to be a minor amendment, must follow the same process that is required to first adopt the RGS. The Local Government Act enables minor amendments where a process has been established pursuant to s. 857.1 that includes the following:

(a) criteria for determining whether a proposed amendment is minor for the purposes of allowing the process to apply;

(b) a means for the views of affected local governments respecting a proposed minor amendment to be obtained and considered;

(c) a means for providing notice to affected local governments respecting a proposed minor amendment;



(d) procedures for adopting the minor amendment bylaw.

The following outlines the criteria and process for considering minor amendments to the SLRD Regional Growth Strategy.

Criteria for a minor amendment

Criteria under which a proposed amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy may be considered a minor amendment include the following:

1. Where a land use or development proposal is inconsistent with the Regional Growth Strategy, and, in the opinion of the Board: a) is not considered to be of regional significance in terms of scale, impacts or

precedence; and b) contributes to achieving a compact, complete and sustainable community.

2. Text and map amendments which are not directly related to enabling specific proposed developments may be considered minor if, in the opinion of the Board, the amendment is not of regional significance.

Minor Amendment Process

a) On receipt of an application from a member municipality to amend the Regional Growth Strategy, SLRD staff will prepare a preliminary report for review by the RGS Steering Committee. Steering Committee comments and recommendations will be forwarded to the Regional Board to assist in its decision on whether the application should be processed as a minor amendment.

b) The SLRD Board will assess a land use or development proposal or text amendment in terms of the minor amendment criteria. The Board may resolve, by an affirmative vote of 2/3 of the board members attending the meeting,�to proceed with an amendment application as a minor amendment. Where the Board resolves to proceed with an amendment application as a minor amendment, the Board will: i. determine the appropriate form of public consultation required in conjunction with

the proposed minor amendment; ii. give 30 days written notice to each affected local government, including notice

that the proposed amendment has been determined to be a minor amendment. The notice shall include a summary of the proposed amendment and any staff reports, other relevant supporting documentation and the date, time and place of the board meeting at which the amending bylaw is to be considered for first reading;

iii. consider the written comments provided by the affected local governments prior to giving first reading to the proposed amendment bylaw.

c) At the time of consideration of first reading, the Board will determine whether a public hearing on the RGS minor amendment bylaw is required.

d) The minor amendment bylaw shall be adopted in accordance with the procedures that apply to the adoption of a regional growth strategy under section 791 of the Local Government Act and SLRD Procedural Bylaw No. 658, 1998.

Glossary of Terms

Affordable housing means rental or ownership housing priced such that it costs less than 30% of gross household income. Affordable housing is intended for households of low and moderate incomes - those that have household incomes that are 80% or less of the median income reported by Statistics Canada in the previous Census.

Backcountry Resort refers to a commercial recreation development with a maximum of 100 bed units that focuses on one or more recreation/adventure tourism activities that provide a high quality recreation opportunity and which may include accessory commercial activities but no residential development other than staff accommodations.

Community means an identifiable or distinct settlement of people, living and interacting with one another in a defined geographic area, who may share a common culture, values and norms and similar environmental conditions.

Complete community means a type of settlement where necessary and desired services, features and attributes allow residents to live, work, play, shop, and learn within close proximity of their home. A more complete community is one where there is a range of opportunities for day-to-day activities, resulting in jobs closer to where people live, accessibility to transit, shops and services near home, and a wider range of housing types.

Destination Resort Development means self contained, master planned tourism developments in areas of significant natural amenity that provide single or multi-season recreational activities and facilities focusing on intensively developed recreation infrastructure that is directly associated with the provision of sport, leisure, entertainment or similar recreation activities; and which includes real estate development primarily oriented to short term visitor accommodation (50% of total bed units or more).

FireSmart means structured and practical solutions or mitigative approaches to reduce the hazard posed by interface fires to communities and homes.

Flex Housing means a multi-unit built form designed for adaptability of units to accommodate changing family size and needs over time with a minimum of expense (e.g. UniverCity Highlands neighbourhood in Burnaby; for further information http://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/en/co/buho/flho/index.cfm).

Healthy community is one that is continually creating and improving those physical and social environments and expanding those community resources that enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life and in developing to their maximum potential.

Natural Capital: refers to living organisms (i.e., plants, animals, bacteria), water, air, land, non-renewable stocks (i.e. oil and gas, minerals). The value of natural capital is based on the quantity & quality of the goods (timber, food, fuel, genetic resources, biochemicals) and services that flow from these stocks. Services are those that are essential, support all life and are extremely complex; and include climate regulation, water purification, waste treatment, erosion control, air quality management, nutrient recycling, photosynthesis, soil formation, pest and disease control, and protection from extreme weather damage. Natural capital is one approach to ecosystem valuation, an alternative to the traditional view of all non-human life as passive natural resources, and to the idea of ecological health.

Neighbourhood means a local, identifiable area within a settlement area, either urban or non-urban,which has some quality or character which distinguishes it from other areas.

Non-market housing means housing that is owned or controlled by a government or non-profit entity and is rented to low or moderate income households at less than market rent, or made available for purchase at less than market value.

Non-settlement area means an area predominantly used for agriculture, rangeland, forestry, outdoor recreation or resource extraction uses or areas of undisturbed natural environments. Non-settlementareas include watersheds, conservation areas, farmland, forests, and major parks and large areas of unsurveyed Crown land. They may be characterized by some sparse settlement and localized, historic subdivisions. Parcel areas are generally greater than 15 hectares (40 acres) in non-settlement areas.

Non-urban means any unincorporated or incorporated settlement areas that are not urban, and includes small Rural Communities, Serviced Residential areas and Rural Residential areas.

Regional refers to the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District and its member municipalities.

Rural Communities means settlements that are closely built up, with a mix of land uses, community water and sewer systems, and a systematic street pattern. Rural Communities generally have a population of less than 1,000 people.

Rural Residential means a settlement that contains dispersed residential uses usually on small acreage parcels which are not serviced by community water or sewer services.

Serviced Residential means a settlement that contains primarily residential uses serviced by community water and/or sewer systems.

Settlement area means an area of predominantly residential use at varying densities. These may be either urban or non-urban.

Smart Growth means a pattern of development that makes efficient use of our limited land base and our existing infrastructure systems, protects important resource lands and natural areas, promotes a wide variety of transportation and housing options, creates more complete communities, and fosters high quality and environmentally sensitive development practices. Smart growth recognizes the connections between development and quality of life, and leverages new growth to improve the community.

Transportation Demand Management: programs designed to reduce demand for transportation through various means, such as the use of transit and of alternative work hours.

Urban means a closely built up settlement characterized by buildings, asphalt, concrete, and a systematic street pattern within an incorporated municipality. Urban areas include residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, communications, utilities, and mixed urban land uses. Undeveloped land completely surrounded by developed areas, such as cemeteries, golf courses, and urban parks is recognized within urban areas. The extent of urban areas is determined by the existence of a dense systematic street pattern and the relative concentration of buildings.

Urban Containment Boundary refers to a set of land-use regulations that prohibit urban level development outside a certain boundary; a regulatory tool used to shape the geographical pattern of urban growth



51

Zero Waste means the goal of eliminating waste wherever possible by encouraging a systems approach to avoid the creation of waste in the first place. A Zero Waste Systems approach turns material outputs from one process into resources for other processes.

PLANNING TERMS: Vision: an overall description of our desired future.

Goals: elements that collectively comprise the realization of our vision.

Strategic Directions: actions designed to guide RGS implementation.



52

Appendix A: Consultation Process used to develop the RGS

The RGS developed through four stages of consultation. Each stage was designed to include engagement of residents, elected officials, First Nations, provincial and federal government agencies, neighbouring regional districts and other stakeholders. A Steering Committee, comprised of SLRD and member municipality administrators and planners, provided leadership throughout the process.

Stage 1 (July – December 2004) focused on identifying growth management priorities, goals and objectives. The consultation in this stage included a Regional Ideas Symposium, a series of four public engagement workshops, an Elected Officials Forum, an Intergovernmental Advisory Committee meeting, and various communications activities.

Stage 2 (January 2005 – January 2006) focused on reviewing and developing the results of Stage 1 and developing a pre-RGS MOU. The primary consultation activity in this stage was collection of feedback through online and hard copy feedback forms and dialogue with Mayor and Council of each member municipality and with the Electoral Area Directors Committee. Feedback forms focused primarily on the draft goals. Dialogue with member councils and electoral area directors focused primarily on the draft vision statement. Meetings of the Intergovernmental Advisory Committee and the Elected Officials Forum addressed both the vision and goals. The SLRD and member municipalities developed the RGS Memorandum of Understanding.

Stage 3 (January 2006 - May 2007) focused on developing a draft RGS. Consultation in this stage included formation and engagement of five technical working groups, two Elected Officials Forums, and two Intergovernmental Advisory Committee meetings, and meetings with First Nations. The results were used in developing the draft RGS.

Stage 4 (June 2007 to June 2008) involves a final public review of the draft RGS. Consultation activities in Stage 4 include further consultation with First Nations, a second series of four public open houses, an Elected Officials Forum, first and second reading of the RGS Bylaw, a formal 120 day referral of the RGS bylaw to member municipalities and a public hearing in four locations.



53

Appendix B: Quality of Life and Environmental Indicators5

Appendix B outlines a series of draft indicators developed for the purposes of tracking and evaluating trends in community growth and development. Each indicator has an accompanying goal, with an arrow, which indicates the preferred direction of change (to increase or decrease). They are based mainly on Smart Growth principles, as well as indicators used in other regional growth strategies. The indicators in this table are suggestions and may be revised following public input into the growth strategy process to reflect community values and goals. An important outcome of the regional growth strategy will be to monitor these indicators over time to evaluate the progress made, or changes occurring within these key parameters, as measures of how well the region is managing overall quality of life in communities.

The far right column of the Indicators table provides the reference to the monitoring data, where such data is contained in the Base Case report. For many of the indicators, however, there is not yet a developed system of measurement (for example, the length of riparian streams with 30m+ remaining intact), or the data is not readily available for inclusion in the Base Case (for example, the number of lots between 1-10 acres created each year). These indicators are marked with an asterisk, and new tools will be required to effectively monitor the indicators marked with an asterisk. Such monitoring may be one of the important roles of the Regional Growth Strategy in the long-term.

��5 This material derives from Section 2 of the Base Case Report.

Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements For the year ended December 31, 2009

Annual Financial Statements 2009 6

1.� Significant Accounting Policies

a.� Basis of Presentation

The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (the Regional District) is a local government in the Province of British Columbia. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Regional District, which are the representation of management, are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles for local governments as prescribed by the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB) of the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the combined results and activities of the reporting entity which is comprised of the Operating, Capital and Reserve funds and all organizations that are accountable for the administration of their financial affairs and resources to the Regional Board and are controlled or owned by the Regional District. Inter-fund transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

i.Operating Funds: These funds include the General, Water and Sewer operations of the Regional District. They are used to record the operating costs of the services provided by the Regional District.

ii.Capital Funds: These funds include the General, Water and Sewer Capital Funds. They are used to record the acquisition and disposal of property and equipment and their related financing.

iii.Reserve Funds: Under the Local Government Act, the Regional Board may, by bylaw, establish reserve funds for specified purposes. Money in a reserve fund, and interest earned thereon, must be expended only for the purpose for which the fund was established. If the amount in a reserve fund is greater than required, the Regional Board may, by bylaw, transfer all or part of the balance to another reserve fund within the same service.

b.� Budget Amounts

Budget amounts reflect the statutory annual budget as adopted by the Board in March 2009.

c.� Revenue Recognition

Sources of revenue are recorded on the accrual basis and include revenue in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that give rise to the revenues, and expenses in the period the goods and services are acquired and a liability is incurred or transfers are due. Sale of services and user fee revenues are recognized when the service or product is rendered by the Regional District.




Grant revenues are recognized when the funding becomes receivable. Revenue unearned in the current period is recorded as deferred revenue.

d.� Investments

Investments are recorded at cost, except for investments in the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia pooled investments, which are carried at market value. When, in the opinion of management, there is a permanent decline in value, investments are written down to their net realizable value.

e.� Tangible Capital Assets

Tangible capital assets, comprised of capital assets and capital work-in-progress, are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization and are classified according to their functional use. Amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset commencing the year the asset is put in to service. Donated tangible capital assets are reported at fair value at the time of donation. Estimated useful lives as follows:

Land Improvements 15 to 20 years Buildings 20 to 50 years Fixtures, Furniture, Equipment & Vehicles 5 to 20 years Technology 5 yearsRoads 10 to 50 years Bridges and other Transportation Structures 10 to 50 yearsWater Infrastructure 5 to 100 years Sewer Infrastructure 5 to 100 years Drainage Infrastructure 25 to 40 years

f.� Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Significant areas requiring estimates include the determination of accrued payroll liabilities, provisions for contingencies and estimated useful lives of tangible capital assets. As such, actual amounts could differ from the estimates.




2.� Prior Period Adjustments

The Regional District has restated its financial statements to comply with the provisions of Sections 1200 and 3150 of the Public Sector Accounting Board Handbook which requires governments to record and amortize their tangible capital assets on their financial statements. These adjustments are as follows:

Adjustments to 2008 Accumulated Surplus

5.� Deposit and Reserve – Municipal Finance Authority

The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia (the Authority) provides capital financing for regional districts and their member municipalities. The Authority is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. The Authority must then use this fund if at any time there are insufficient funds to meet payments on its obligations. If this occurs the regional districts may be called upon to restore the fund.

Each regional district, through its member municipalities who share in the proceeds of a debt issue, is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund certain amounts set out in the financing agreements. The interest earned on the Debt Reserve Fund, less administrative expenses, becomes an obligation of the Authority to the regional districts.




Upon the maturity of a debt issue, the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be discharged. The proceeds from these discharges will be credited to income in the year they are received. As at December 31, the total of the Debt reserve fund was comprised of:

2009 2008 Cash deposits $178,642 $169,729 Demand notes 383,736 348,384

$562,378 $518,113

These balances are not reported elsewhere in the financial statements.

6.� Federal Gas Tax and Public Transit Agreements

Gas Tax and Public Transit funding is provided by the Government of Canada and use of the funding is restricted by the terms of a funding agreement between the Regional District and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. Gas Tax funding may be used towards certain public transit, community energy, water, wastewater, solid waste and capacity building projects, as specified in the funding agreements. These amounts are included with reserve funds. Public Transit funding may be used towards the cost of certain public transit projects, as specified in the funding agreements.

7.� Long-Term Debt – Municipal Finance Authority

All monies borrowed by the Regional District are upon its credit at large and shall, in the event of any default, constitute an indebtedness of the member municipalities for which they are jointly and severally liable.




The agreements due from members are receivable on the same terms as the related agreements payable to the Municipal Finance Authority set out on Schedule 1.

* Actuarial Adjustments represent interest earned on sinking funds held by the Municipal Finance Authority. Such interest is used to reduce the principal amount of outstanding debt.




8.� Future Obligations

Landfill Closure/Post Closure Liability The Regional District operates various landfill sites and is responsible for closure and post closure care of these sites. The Regional Districts’s estimated liability for these expenses is recognized as the landfill site’s capacity is used and the reported liability of $316,323 (2008 - $313,729) represents the portion of the estimated total expenditure recognized as at December 31, 2009. The liability and annual expenditure is calculated based on the ratio of current usage to the total capacity of the site and the discounted estimated future cash flows associated with closure and post closure activities.

9.� Expenses by Object 2009 2008

Debt charges $5,192,375 $3,011,074 Operating expenses 7,917,639 6,819,305 Salary, wages and benefits 1,975,759 1,757,939 $15,085,773 $11,588,318

10.�Commitments and Contingencies

a. Pension Plan

The Regional District and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (the Plan), a jointly trusteed pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the Plan, including investment of the assets and administration of benefits. The pension plan is a multi-employer contributory pension plan. Basic pension benefits provided are defined. The plan has about 150,000 active members and approximately 54,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 32,000 contributors from local government.

Every three years an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the Plan and the adequacy of Plan funding. The most recent valuation as at December 31, 2006 indicated a surplus of $438 million for basic pension benefits. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2009 with results available in 2010. The actuary does not attribute portions of the surplus to individual employers. The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District contributed $104,514 (2008 - $89,133) on behalf of employees during the year while employees contributed $96,539 (2008 - $82,059) on their own behalf.




b. The Regional District is a member of the Municipal Insurance Association of British Columbia. The main purpose is to pool the risks of liability so as to lessen the impact upon any subscriber. Under the Reciprocal Insurance Exchange Agreement, the Regional district is assessed a premium and specific deductible for its claims based on population. The obligation of the Regional district with respect to the Exchange and/or contracts and obligations entered into by the Exchange on behalf of its subscribers in connection with the Exchange are in every case several, not joint and several. The Regional district irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the other subscribers against liability losses and costs which the other subscriber may suffer. Should the Association pay out claims in excess of premiums received, it is possible that the Regional District, along with the other participants, would be required to contribute towards this deficit.

Crown Lease Dispositions at Tunnel Station/Upper Cheakamus Valley, Area D

Date: June 9, 2010

Recommendation: That no further staff time be devoted to the issue of Crown lease dispositions in the Tunnel Station – Upper Cheakamus Valley area of Electoral Area D.

CAO Comments: I concur. PRE Who Votes: All

Attachments Report/Document: Attached __Available __ Nil __

Key Issue(s)/Concepts Defined: Holders of Crown recreational and residential leases in the Tunnel Station area north of Culliton Creek in the Cheakamus Valley have for many years requested SLRD assistance with their goal of obtaining fee simple tenure to their property.

Relevant Policy: SLRD enacted a road grading service for the purpose of grading the unofficial access road. Provincial policy with respect to disposition of Crown residential and recreational lease land.

Strategic Relevance:

Desired Outcome(s): To support the desired outcome of the lease holders to acquire their properties in fee simple without incurring unreasonable public cost or liability.

Response Options:1. Continue to devote SLRD staff and resources to working in support of lease holder acquisition of Crown

leases at Tunnel Station 2. Not proceed further with staff involvement

Preferred Strategy: Option 2 is not “preferred” as it does not achieve the desired outcome; but it is the recommended decision.


General: Come to resolution of a long standing matter.

Organizational: n/a. May be some implications relating to ongoing road maintenance.

Financial: Possibly some in relation to road/access issues.

Legal: Significant potential legal implications if SLRD was to accept road maintenance responsibility where MoTI will not. This issue will be examined in a separate staff report.

Follow Up Action: Arrange BC Hydro presentation ASAP

Communication: Advise leaseholders in writing of decision

Submitted by: Director of Planning and Development Approved by: CAO


Request for Decision Background Report

Crown Lease Dispositions at Tunnel Station/Upper Cheakamus Valley, Area D

Issue Defined:

Holders of Crown recreational and residential leases in the Tunnel Station area north of Culliton Creek in the Cheakamus Valley (see attached Context and Site Location Maps) have for many years requested SLRD assistance in their pursuit of obtaining fee simple tenure to their property.

Issues that have been factors in the province not supporting fee simple tenure offers to lease holders has historically revolved around two key issues: flood hazard and access. More recently it has been noted that First Nations issues would need to be addressed and that staffing and refocusing of resources within the Integrated Land Management Bureau are additional considerations.

Background:

The SLRD file for District Lot 6958, NWD (Tunnel Station) dates back to the early 1980s. In 1983 leases were being renewed for 15 year terms at $200 per year for “recreational purposes”. Planning staff believe that recreational leases in the early 1980s and prior contained provisions regarding seasonal occupancy – we believe the lease allowed about four weeks use per year. Planning staff have noted that lease renewals excluded a 20 metre strip adjacent to the BC Hydro right of way – presumably a provision for future road access.

In 1988, the province considered providing purchase opportunity to cottage and residential leaseholders throughout BC. A frequently asked questions (FAQ) sheet and questionnaire was circulated to lessees. Lessees at Tunnel Station expressed interest in obtaining fee simple tenure. The province noted in its FAQ that sales of leases would have to meet basic standards of development such as: 1) the property is not in a flooding or landslide/landslip hazard area; 2) suitable access; and 3) compliance with health standards.

In 1992 a petition was submitted by Tunnel Station leaseholders to the provincial MLA demanding the right to purchase their leases. In October 1992, a letter was sent from BC Environment to BC Lands indicating that “due to the nature of the flood hazard in the Cheakamus Valley, with one exception [a parcel west of Daisy Lake] we cannot recommend converting these leases to private ownership or changing recreational leases to residential leases” and “to encourage further development in the valley is contrary to our mandate to reduce flood risk to life and property”. BC Environment also noted the security of the existing access road as another issue, commenting that the road had been subject to a number of washouts in the previous decade. BC Environment did not believe dyking was feasible, as construction costs would exceed the value of the properties being protected and, if built, would encourage more intensive use of a hazardous area. The BC Environment letter was subsequently forwarded to all lessees at Tunnel Station.


In 1996 a letter was written by MOE Water Management Engineering noting that the Cheakamus River Task Team had explored flood proofing options but did not recommend any satisfactory method of area wide hazard mitigation. Water Management discourages permanent residency but it was noted that current policy allows for renewal of leases when they expire.

In the mid – late 2000s some leaseholders raised the matter of property purchase with the province and the SLRD. An email dated October 2, 2008 summarizes the issues from the ILMB perspective:

ILMB has consistently indicated the property is not suitable for fee simple disposition due to:

- historical flood potential and human safety- lack of legal dedicated road access- lack of support from local government and the Ministry of

Transportation around accessing and servicing the area

Planning staff were advised on June 2, 2010 by Keith Anderson, Manager of Crown Lands and Resources that the Integrated Land Management Bureau has undergone staffing changes (cuts) and reprioritization of workload. As such ILMB is no longer considering requests for sale of recreational leases.

Planning staff discussed the access issue on June 8, 2010 with Jesse Morwood, Area Roads Manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Mr. Morwood advised that as the access to the lease lots is at the end of a road that is not theirs, the MOTI would not want to take over maintenance responsibility as it would be impractical/unfeasible from a cost perspective and not a good use of taxpayers’ dollars.

BC Hydro in a letter dated October 22, 2008 advised that BC Hydro is willing to work with other parties (lease holders and government) in terms of use of the BCH right of way for access purposes. Kim Proudlove, BC Hydro Property Representative in a telephone conversation on June 8, 2010 re-confirmed there are a number of potential options to meet legal access requirements that BC Hydro would consider. Any disposition of BC Hydro property would be at current market value as determined by an appraiser.

In the District of Squamish adjacent to Tunnel Station, Area D a major rezoning application for an 81 home equestrian oriented residential development is in its final stage. DOS assessment of the application has involved review of hydraulic modeling to assess flood and debris flow hazard and to determine the required mitigation. Detailed information has recently been submitted by the applicant and the application is likely to go to a second public hearing. DoS is examining the flood mitigation for not just the Paradise Trails development, but also the potential implications of flood mitigation at Paradise Trails on downstream property. The cost of flood mitigation works is seen as a significant constraint to this project’s viability. District staff have offered to share information with SLRD staff as the information becomes available. Such information may be quite useful in gaining a high level understanding of what flood mitigation challenges may face Tunnel Station residents/leaseholders.

Options:

1. Continue to devote SLRD staff and resources to working in support of lease holder acquisition of Crown leases at Tunnel Station

2. Not proceed further with staff involvement.


Analysis of Options:

Option 1 – Continue to assist residents in working towards obtaining fee simple tenure

SLRD interests are for all intents and purposes unaffected by the tenure situation at Tunnel Station. Staff do not have any objections whatsoever in principle to residents obtaining tenure. However, same as the province, certain criteria need to be met before tenure should be granted. In this case it seems that the safety concerns with respect to flooding of the Cheakamus River and the unlikely, but potentially catastrophic consequences of a Daisy Lake Dam failure will continue to prevent fee simple tenure from being granted.

If the hazard issue can be addressed the other significant issue is access. In this regard there is more possibility for a positive outcome. BC Hydro has expressed willingness to negotiate use of its right of way. Use of the 20 metre strip between the lease lots and the BCH right of way may also be an option. there may be a bare land strata option that could resolve access issues for most lots. Cost will be the biggest factor, as all costs will need to be borne by the leaseholders. Staff are preparing a separate report on access issues and road maintenance at Tunnel Station.

Option 2 – Not proceed further with staff involvement

The province has been consistent over the past 20 years about tenure at Tunnel Station. Even with a strong mandate to sell real estate, and willing buyers at Tunnel Station, the various provincial Crown land agencies over the years have had to say no. In undertaking this analysis,staff have heard no indication from any of the agencies involved that there will be any change in position. For leaseholders, preserving the status quo with respect to tenure may be the best option. The SLRD and leaseholders should accept that the province does not intend to offer fee simple tenure in this area and not pursue the matter further.

Conclusion:

BC Hydro is responsible for assessing, managing and mitigating risk associated with the consequences of high spillway discharges and the extremely remote potential of dam breaches or failure. In this regard Dave Cattanach, the BC Hydro representative responsible for security, emergency management and public safety for BC Hydro’s generating facilities advised staff that BC Hydro has past practice of trying to prevent development downstream for all consequence reduction of dam failure. Staff have arranged a presentation at the June Board meeting by Mr. Cattanach. Information is expected to be presented which will reinforce the rationale for the long standing position of the province to not grant fee simple tenure.

Action Plan:

No further action.

Communication Plan:

Advise leaseholders in writing after decision is made.

Communication:

Other Comments:

Submitted by: S. Olmstead, Director of Planning and DevelopmentApproved by: CAO


DATE: June 11, 2010

RECOMMENDATION: THAT the SLRD Board support amendments to the SLRD Tier 2 RSP (Gas Tax) Grantagreement with UBCM in accordance with the following particulars:

A. Subject to approval by the Resort Municipality of Whistler (“RMOW”) and UBCM, the portion of the Tier 2 Grant Funds attributable to the projects located within the boundaries of the RMOW are to be administered directly between UBCM and the RMOW;

B. UBCM shall pay out directly to the RMOW, in accordance with the payment guidelines, the designated Tier 2 Grant Funds of $235,000.00 and the RMOW shall provide all requisite reports directly to UBCM with respect to these funds;

C. The balance of the Tier 2 grant funds totaling $66,531 payable to the SLRD pursuant to its application shall be administered between UBCM and the SLRD, supported by an amended agreement with respect thereto, specifying a completion date of December 12, 2012, the details of which are as follows:

3(b) The balance of bus pullouts and shelters, under clause 3(b)(vii) and (x), not transferred to the District of Squamish, the Resort Municipality of Whistler or the Village of Pemberton, totalling $36,531:

(vii) SLRD - Highway 99 North & South @ Black Tusk: � Shelter - $10,000� Lighting - $6,531

(x) SLRD – Highway 99 North & South @ Furry Creek� Shelters - $20,000

3(d) Pemberton - Mt. Currie Hwy. 99 Connector Trail Lighting: 1.5 kms @ $20,000/km = $30,000.

CAO COMMENTS: I concur.

RECOMMENDATION Report/Document: Attached __No__ Available ____ N/A ____

KEY ISSUE(S)/CONCEPTS DEFINED: The RMOW staff have advised SLRD staff that the preference of the RMOW is to see the Tier 2 funds designated for expenditure within RMOW boundaries to be spent in accordance with their own Transit priorities.

The RMOW has already undergone a process of determining options and priorities with respect to their own PTA/PTIP grant funding which included new bus shelters, transit exchange upgrades and improvements to the commuter trail network. The result of their comprehensive review was a decision to apply those funds to the debt servicing of the new BC Transit maintenance facility which was built to accommodate regional transit services over the next 40 years.

RMOW staff have already contacted UBCM and received preliminary approval, which has been confirmed by SLRD staff and BC Transit staff. To proceed, UBCM requires: (1) a resolution from the SLRD Board; (2) a resolution from the RMOW; and (3) support from BC Transit.

RELEVANT POLICY: The SLRD was the local government applicant under the Tier 2 Gas Tax program. The Board has previously approved amendments to the agreement in order for the District of Squamish and the Village of Pemberton (for itself and the Lil’Wat Nation) to control and administer the funds directly, although this is the first substantive change request with respect to the project upon which the funds will be expended.


AMENDMENT TO THE TIER 2 RSP (“REGIONALLY SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS”) GAS TAX GRANT AGREEMENT


STRATEGIC RELEVANCE: Streamlining of financial and administrative reporting requirements will benefit all ofthe parties and result in a more efficient, timely project completion, as well as permitting the RMOW to determine its own priorities for the expenditure of the Tier 2 grant funds.

DESIRED OUTCOME(S): The expenditure of grant funding on capital improvements to transit infrastructure within the Regional District in accordance with the priorities of the member municipalities, financially and administratively managed in the most efficient manner possible.

RESPONSE OPTIONS: 1. Adopt the Recommendation, enabling the RMOW to put these funds toward debt servicing for the BC Transit Maintenance Facility instead of towards pullouts and shelters; 2. Reject it and direct SLRD staff to continue with the original project; 3. Direct staff otherwise.

PREFERRED STRATEGY: Adopt the Recommendation. The RMOW has already undergone a prioritizing exercise for Transit grants and determined that the best option is to reduce the BC Transit Maintenance Facility debt.

IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATION:

GENERAL: Adoption of the recommendation will result in the SLRD Board assisting the RMOW to achieve its transit priorities.

ORGANIZATIONAL: SLRD staff time will be freed up to work on the priorities that have been set by the Board.

FINANCIAL: Recommendation will have a positive financial impact on both the SLRD and the RMOW.

FOLLOW UP ACTION: As above with UBCM and RMOW staff.

COMMUNICATION: Staff will update the Board as required.

� Currently working with the SLRD, the District of Clearwater, and the District of Barriere to begin the process of developing Agricultural Plans for the three areas and to have FBC involvement in each plans development process. The SLRD is still wrapping up their Pemberton Agriculture Plan and as a result has not yet turned their attention to developing the Lillooet Agriculture Plan. They are reviewing whether they will use staff to run the process or if they will need the assistance from the FBC. The District of Clearwater is very interested in working with the FBC on a Agriculture Plan development while I have not heard anything back from the District of Barriere to date.

� Marc will be attending the SLIPP meetings on June 10th and June 16th on behalf of the FBC. Phil

� SLIPP – The past funding for the program has not been provided this year from the DFO, MOE or the FSWP, as a result the SLIPP program is at risk of coming to an end. There is a joint SLIPP consultation meeting scheduled for 1 PM June 10th at the CSRD office with local government representatives to see how the SLIPP program can be funded to move it forward. SLIPP is short approximately $750,000 (with projects)/$305,000 (without projects) for their annual operating costs. The $305,000 is the bare bones budget that will cover the funding for the governance model and the secretariat for one year. The main challenge will be coming up with a allocation formula for determining how the funding should be divided amongst the various local governments, and what it should be based on (property assessment values, property parcel sizes, number of parcels etc).

� There is a second SLIPP meeting being held on June 16TH 10-3pm at the Quaaout Lodge - the main topic will be the grey water study. The UBC Research group will be doing the presentation. The secondary topic will be the funding situation for SLIPP.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Meeting commenced at 10:00 am

1. Welcome and Introductions

Thompson Region Manager Mike Simpson welcomed all present

Agenda and minutes accepted

2. Old Business from April 13, 2010 � Erin Vieira had a baby girl named Abigail. � Action Item #1- Letter to the Ministry of Environment regarding the public consultation

process for the railway tie gasification proposal by the Aboriginal Cogeneration Corporation (ACC) in Kamloops – Completed - was mailed out by Mike to the MOE and CAOs of the City of Kamloops and the 4 regional districts in the Thompson area, but not MLAs.

� Action Item #2- Providing contact information and the purpose of the new community network for discussing environmental issues - Ongoing – Tom Owen discussed this further in his update below.

� Action Item#3 - Presentation on the Lower Shuswap and Mabel Lake mapping products/report – Postponed -Bob Harding was unable to attend this meeting but has offered to do his at the June meeting.

� Action #4 – Review the “Community Development Program” funding source – Completed . Dave Whiting offered his perspective of the funding source and shared it with the group. This funding source tends to support the process of projects more than the development of actual products. For example, if your project is around partnership development and process, rather than producing a product, then this funding source may be a good option. The funding is based on a 50/50 funding set up. Marc and Mike will look into this funding source further. It may be an option for creating an agricultural advisory committee or developing an Agriculture Plan in the Lillooet or Clearwater area.


The Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT) was identified as another potential source of funding. This funder is very results oriented and is focused on economic development. They are apparently looking for more applications from more rural communities. http://www.sidit-bc.ca/

3. Committee Member Reports

Mikey Macri, SLRD

� Regional Strategy has been finalized and is going to arbitration � GAS Garibaldi at Squamish – put forward again, this is a large resort development. There

are some issues with the proposed environmental plan; the Regional District submitted a letter to the province regarding their position and concerns with the environmental plan.

� Agriculture plan hasn’t been started yet they are finishing up the budget for the plan and waiting for staff feedback before proceeding.

� Duffy Lake road – bridge replacement at Gott Creek, and 7 Km of paving from from Blowdown to Graham Bridge. Paving to be completed to Lillooet from Fountain.

� Forest fuel management – Rd staff are identifying a lot of the high risk areas that are located on private or First Nations land rather than Crown land. This becomes an issue as the funding source is from the provincial government which only allows for treatments to be done on provincial crown land which becomes an issue when it comes to developing a wildfire protection plan. The SLRD is currently reviewing the mapping to identify what areas that are treatable and qualify for funding.

Dave Whiting, Community Mapping Coordinator � The Breast Feeding Friendly Initiative (BFFI) has gained support from the United Way who

has now come into the partnership. The United Way is doing an initiative on family friendly businesses and they are going to go around to all the businesses in Kamloops to promote and identify family friendly locations. While they are doing this they will also be promoting the BFFI message. Two nursing students from TRU will be working with the BFFI data collected and will be developing a Google map that will later be placed on the United Way and Interior Health websites

� Currently working on a Solar Radiation and Modeling project in the Lillooet to Lytton corridor. He recently met with the steering committee last week who provided some valuable input on the draft products that have been produced so far for the project and all the feedback was positive. The project will now be enhanced by using Environment Canada cloud data which will help to change the mapping from potential radiation to actual radiation based on cloud cover.

Herman Halvorson, RDNO � Looking for feedback from Phil from the SLIPP process and when the Regional Districts

had planned on getting together to discuss this subject.

Action Item #1 – Marc Solomon will contact Phil Hallinan to find out what the scheduled date is for the SLIPP process meeting with the regional districts and report back to the group.

� Discussed the water issues in the Okanagan with the low snow pack. The North Okanagan region is currently at a stage three level (no pool filling, no car washing) and has the potential of moving to a stage four level which does not allow for any watering at all.


http://www.sidit-bc.ca/�

� Styrofoam recycling just started on earth day in the district. A $40,000 portable machine was purchased which can convert 90 cubic ft of styrofoam into 1cu foot hardened product. Rather than dumping the Styrofoam into the landfill where it won’t breakdown, the finished product is shipped down to a company on the coast who recycles the styrofoam by reintroducing air into the converted product. Businesses are jumping on board and bringing in there Styrofoam for recycling. The company on the coast will pay 30cents/lb for the finished product and the emissions from the conversion are minimal. Nicole Kohnart and Carmon Morgan are the contact people for this project at RDNO.

� Lower Shuswap – extended an extra $34,000 from community works funding to deal with the stage 2 and 3 mapping initiative on the Lower Shuswap.

� Greater Vernon Parks, Rec and Culture service review reports are ongoing Marty Bootsma, CSRD

� The Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT) – started 3 years ago, all the mayors of municipalities with a population over 500 people are on the regional advisory committee. If you are planning on submitting a proposal for funding it is recommended that you contact your local politicians to get them their support on your project.

� Attended the Shuswap Watershed conference on April 23. Did a small presentation on behalf of the Fraser Basin council. The event was apparently very successful.

� SLIPP – asked to be removed from the board due to his position as Mayor of Salmon Arm and not wanting to have a conflict of interest issue.

� Attended the Southern Interior Local Government Association (SILGA) conference recently held at Sun Peaks.

� The CSRD water levels are not at risk at this time due to the depth of the district’s water intake pipe in the lake. The big challenges are hydro bills for pumping water from there different water sources when water levels do get low.

Glen Farrow, City of Kamloops

� Held a public forum for the city’s sustainability plan on April 17. 150 attendees which was lower than expected. Top ten list from the residents of Kamloops were – air quality, local food production, energy, climate change, solid waste, natural environment, land, water, health and wellness, economic development and community safety. From this forum specific management plans were identified as being a priority for developing – the draft priorities for management plans are air shed, land and solid waste.

� A pilot multi-residence recycling program will begin shortly and run for 4 months in Kamloops.

� The city’s Ecosmart team just started and is now helping out with a lot of the city’s environmental initiatives by educating the community, especially water conservation.

� A pilot test hole will be drilled in the Kamloops landfill for determining the feasibility of collecting methane from the site.

Tom Owen, TRU � TRU is focusing on reducing their energy consumption as they now have to pay the carbon

tax. TRU currently has an energy study going on looking at gas and hydro reductions. � Info Network created as a response to the ACC incineration proposal is“Actively on hold”

at this time. The plan is for the group to be an information group and not an advocacy group.

John Taylor, TNRD


� TNRD will be implementing a new Image Library that is available to TNRD municipalities, electoral areas E-A, Government agencies and First Nations. (Thompson Nicola Film Commission)

� Cherry Creek requesting a study for the establishment of a community water system � TNRD has awarded 3 contracts for Clinton, Lytton and Logan Lake Eco-Depots. These are

for lock blocks and earthworks. � New TNRD O.P.A. Bylaw and zoning amendment bylaws have passed final reading. Old

ones have been in place since 1980’s. A comprehensive review has been done to improve their relevance and effectiveness.

� TNRD subdivision works and services bylaw approved, it will provide development community and the regional approving officer direction as to the level of works that will be required in E/A.

4. Operations Committee – Bob Smillie was absent from the meeting and as a result there was no

update from the Update Committee. Mike asked if there were any other directors who would be interested in attending the Operations Committee. There were no volunteers so Mike will attend the meeting and will take notes and report back to the group at the next meeting.

5. Bob Harding presentation on the Lower Shuswap and Mabel Lake mapping products/report – postponed until June’s meeting

6. Staff Report A.Watershed Evaluation of Beneficial Management Practices (WEBS)

Mike reported that the WEBS projects phase 2 was officially underway with contractors now getting paid for work completed in 2009/2010. Bruce Roddan from Agiculture Canada has a number of summer students starting this week and they will be doing the installation of weather stations on 10 participants volunteering farms/ranches. Bruce will be looking for some additional surface water irrigators downstream (closer to Salmon Arm) in addition to the Westwold ground water irrigators. Mike informed the group about the upcoming steering committee meeting set for June 9th at the Kamloops research centre station. The intent of the meeting is to coordinate the modelling efforts in the Salmon River Watershed. There are three models that are related to the irrigation efficiency study. The WEBs modeller (John Zzhu) is working on the river supply, Andrew Peterson is working on the BCMAL agriculture water demand, and Kevin Bennett (BCMOE) is working on the Westwold aquifer supply.

Marc Solomon reported on the funding that was recently approved by the Fraser Salmon and Watersheds Program (FSWP) to support the outreach and communication end of the WEBS project. Marc is currently working on developing a Needs and Opportunity Assessment Report about the pros and cons of using climate stations and the data they produce.

Marc discussed the “Finding Common Ground” field tour that he will be attending May 14th in the Lumby area. The tour will be focussing on agriculture and environmental stewardship and it may be a great opportunity to meet contacts in the agriculture sector and to spread the word about the WEBS project.

Marc will be attending the BC Cattlemen’s AGM in Williams Lake on May 27-29th to spread the word about the WEBS project and about the Fraser Basin.

Mike discussed the Water Act Modernization plan and the letter that the Fraser Basin submitted to the provincial government regarding our thoughts on the proposed changes. There was a discussion amongst the committee members about how the proposed changes are needed but that they do address the water


withdrawal from aquifers. The committee members then asked if the letter could be forwarded to them for their review.

Action#2 –Marc Solomon is to email the Fraser Basin’s Water Act Modernization plan letter to the committee members.

B. FYI Upcoming Events:

a. FYI Upcoming Events: � “Finding Common Ground” tour and social, Lee Hesketh’s ranch, May 14-15th, near

7. Identifying a future meeting space for the Thompson Regional Committee monthly meeting The current location for the Thompson FBC Committee meetings has been held in the BC Conservation Foundation’s (BCCF) boardroom free of charge until now. Due to economic constraints the BCCF is now looking for a $25 contribution each time the Fraser Basin uses their boardroom. Mike Simpson asked the committee if there were any other free meeting locations that members know of or if they would rather just pay the fee and continue to meet at the current location.

Glen Farrow’s stated that there may be an opportunity to hold the meetings at the City of Kamloops office however the committee members decided that they would rather remain in the current meeting location and pay the $25/use fee to support BCCF.

Action #3 – Marc Solomon is to contact Diana Dilworth to have her send Marty B. information about the FB Council Board Meeting.

8. Next Meeting and Summer Schedule

� Next Meeting – Tuesday 8th June 2010, 10am-12pm at the Fraser Basin Thompson Regional Office

Honourable Bill BennettMinistry of Community and Rural Development100 C Cranbrook Street NCranbrook BC V1C 3P9

Dear Honourable Bill Bennett:

I am writing to you regarding the Pemberton Boundary Extension Proposal that I understand is being considered by the Ministry of Community and Rural Development. It is my understanding that Ministry of Community and Rural Development does not support boundary Extension and development that is not contiguous. The Pemberton Boundary Extension Proposal is not contiguous to the Village of Pemberton, and does not follow Smart Growth principles and guidelines that identify the importance of curbing urban sprawl and buffering for rural lands, especially agricultural lands and farms. The Pemberton Valley Area Agricultural Plan is nearing completion and has recognized and documented significant concerns that the area of the Pemberton Valley where the boundary extensionproposal is contemplated will create a “sterilization” of farms and agricultural lands as proposed lands develop. This is a concern to the farming community.

I have recently read in our local newspaper “Hillside boundary extension moves ahead”… “Village of Pemberton officials are moving ahead with plans to extend the village boundaries to include the much-talked about Hillside area”… “The Hillside area east of Pemberton’s current boundary is the subject of a large Sunstone Ridge development proposal…” This week I see in the newspaper the “first of two publications” “Notice to Electors of the Village of Pemberton Alternate Approval Process for a Proposed Extension of Boundaries-‘Hillside Lands’ ” How can this be happening? The area being considered in the Alternate Approval process are lands presently governed by the Squamish Lillooet Regional District and within the SLRD boundaries, not the Village of Pemberton?

Appropriate local government process has not been followed. A referendum was conducted in the Village of Pemberton; however a referendum on boundary extension was not put before the electorate of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District. The lands that are being considered for inclusion in the boundary extension are lands in Area “C” of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District, and are directly affected by the Village of Pemberton Boundary Extension proposal. The identified satellite parcels of land proposed for inclusion in the Village of Pemberton Boundary Extension are also directly amidst and adjacent to over 500 acres of agricultural land and farms. The farming community has also not had adequate opportunity to comment through a consultation process to discuss the proposal’s impact on agricultural land and farms. Area “C” Squamish Lillooet Regional District residents and land owners have not been adequately represented in the local government process as they have not been polled by referendum, and they have not been adequately represented with only one representative out of nine directors on the SLRD Board. Area “C” SLRD representative, Susie Gimse, also a Village of Pemberton Counselor, opposes the Pemberton Boundary Extension. Quoted in the Whistler Question “Susie Gimse was the lone lawmaker to vote against moving ahead.” (At the Village of Pemberton counsel meeting) “After the meeting, she reiterated her long-held position that ‘piecemeal’ boundary extension is a ‘Band-Aid’ solution that would exacerbate divisions in the valley.”


I question the reasoning for the desire to include non contiguous lands in the Village of Pemberton boundaries other than to bring increased tax dollars to the Village of Pemberton. With the increase in taxes there will come the obligation to provide infrastructure and services to proposed developments.Were Village of Pemberton taxpayers voting in the proposed boundary extension referendum informedof the burden of cost involved in developing and maintaining infrastructure for proposed developmentson Village of Pemberton Extension lands? Also, given the abundance of diverse real estate presently available and for sale within the Village of Pemberton current boundaries why is the Village of Pemberton contemplating piecemeal boundary expansion?

The Village of Pemberton governs a small area of the Pemberton Valley. The Squamish Lillooet Regional District Area C governs a much larger area of the Pemberton Valley. The Village of Pemberton local government is represented by a Mayor and four counselors. Area “C” of the Squamish Lillooet Regional District local government is represented by only one director out of nine directors representing the Sea to Sky corridor from Britannia Beach to Lillooet. Residents of Area “C” of the SLRD are not adequately represented by local government. Also, agriculture/famers are not adequately represented by local government, despite the fact that agriculture/farming has historically been the longest standing sustainable economic business in the Pemberton Valley. The issue of governance is of great concern to residents and farmers of the community of Pemberton. Rather than adding disconnected chunks of land to the Village of Pemberton boundaries, solving the local governance issues of the Pemberton Valley would allow for more logical and well thought out planning of the Pemberton Valley, respecting the need for protection of farms and agricultural lands.

As a long time resident, and farmer of the Pemberton Valley I am concerned at the scattered and ill thought out direction our community is taking with regard to development. Ministry of Community Development policy to only support contiguous boundary extensions and Smart Growth policy that supports curbing and containing urban sprawl are well thought out planning principles and should be followed in the Pemberton Valley.

I believe residents and land owners in the Pemberton Valley would welcome the Ministry of Community and Rural Development’s assistance in working toward obtaining local governmentrepresentation that is united, to alleviate the ongoing issues that continually create challenges for community planning in the Pemberton Valley.

I look forward to hearing from you with regard to this urgent issue.

Sincere Regards

what are the implications of Waste-to-Energy?

GHG ImpactsGHG ImpactsGHG Impacts• WTE with district heating displaces fossil fuels• Methane from landfills are 21 times more harmful• WTE GHG emissions are lower than landfills• “...there are no plausible scenarios in which

landfilling minimizes GHG emissions from waste management” (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)

Diversion and DisposalDiversion and DisposalDiversion and Disposal

• The Draft Solid Waste Management Plan calls for a limit of 500,000 tonnes on new waste-to-energy for a maximum total waste-to-energy capacity of 800,000 tonnes

• Even with 70% diversion, forecasted waste volumes for 2015 amount to 1.2 million tonnes (50% higher than our waste-to-energy capacity)

Why do we spend so much on disposal and

so little on 3Rs?
