Keeqstra comments Board attempted to address<br />
concerns expressed at open houses. Relocation <strong>of</strong><br />
Okanagan Avenue does mitigate the traffic increase on<br />
existing residents. Safety at these intersections has been<br />
improved. Difficulty <strong>of</strong> relocating was that a large number <strong>of</strong><br />
units were lost. Newly created parcels were used to try and<br />
recoup these. Overlapping Town Houses will have setbacks<br />
and won't be higher than the two storey homes in area.<br />
'Goinq Slow' Comments - HDC intent is to proceed slowly<br />
and to develop with quality. 'Gateway' is first area<br />

Career Firefighters<br />
VFRS has thirty-three (33) Career staff with 26 working shift work. These individuals not only respond<br />
while on duty, but are called back to work on numerous occasions over the year when additional help is<br />
needed by the on duty career staff. Being a career firefighter in smaller communities as <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
requires a serious commitment and special thanks goes out to their families for their support and<br />
understanding when these individuals are called out at any time <strong>of</strong> the day or night on a moment's<br />

EMERGENCY COM MUN ICATIONS CENTRE<br />
The Emergency Dispatch Centre dispatches 911 fìre, road rescue, and first responder calls to seven (7) other<br />
fire departments in the RDNO as well as the two stations serving the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>. Dispatch centers<br />
<strong>of</strong> our size handle some 8000 phone calls per year <strong>of</strong> which over 2800 require emergency response.<br />
The dispatch centre also monitors various alarms throughout the city and the RDNO. The dispatch<br />
centre also handles the <strong>City</strong>'s after hou/s telephone service when city facilities are closed.<br />
We will continue to work towards modernizing the dispatch center to enhance service to our customers<br />
în a cost efficient and effective manner.<br />
Apparatus Maintenance Support<br />
VFRS has one part-time mechanic who has proven to be an expert in emergency vehicle apparatus and<br />
equipment repair and is a valued member <strong>of</strong> our team. lnternally he reports/works with the Deputy<br />
Chief Operations, and is directly under the COV Manager <strong>of</strong> Fleet Services.<br />
Building Maintenance<br />
The day to day maintenance <strong>of</strong> the fire station is shared by career staff and the COV buildíng<br />
maintenance staff. An example <strong>of</strong> this is the career staff painted all bays and the shop area this year,<br />
while building maintenance built a new <strong>of</strong>fice and upgraded a portion <strong>of</strong> the rooms this year and looks<br />
after regular ma¡ntenance <strong>of</strong> mechanical and electrical systems. We are looking to finish <strong>of</strong>f our<br />
renovation this year with budget approval.<br />
36
2009 Yeor in Review: <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire - Rescue Services<br />
Operational Highlights<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Fire-Rescue Services had many significant achievements and the híghlights are as follows;<br />
ln 2009 we have confirmed two lives have been saved after using the AED's donated by<br />
Kalamalka Rotary.<br />
After the fires <strong>of</strong> 2003 VFRS/OKLFD and the regional fire departments as well as BC Forestry<br />
Protection Branch and other emergency services have held a number <strong>of</strong> table top and field<br />
exercises. These skills have been put to the test on a number <strong>of</strong> occasions in the past two<br />
years. Some examples are; the fire near the Coldstream/<strong>Vernon</strong> border near the Forest<br />
Research Center and the ¡nterface fire near the Out Back. ln all instances the lncident<br />
Command System was implemented and all involved worked in harmony with very positive<br />
results. All local fires were contained within a couple <strong>of</strong> hours, with mop up being completed<br />
within a few days.<br />
!n the summer <strong>of</strong> 2009 with the interface fire knocking on our door steps, we took the<br />
opportun¡ty to meeting with responders on the Terrace mountain fire. We planned a<br />
response utilizing regional resources so we would be prepared if called upon to fight from the<br />
North Flank. We also used this opportunity to talk to and witness the sprinkler protection<br />
crews and equipment being deployed in high farms area to protect structures. This was a<br />
great opportunity to enhance current expertise.<br />

command with forestry on the Brookmere fire (200+ Firefighters) and as the structure branch<br />
director on the largest interface fire on the year, the Lava Canyon Fire. (300 + Firefighters)<br />
being awarded to a B.C. company, Hub Fire Engines <strong>of</strong> Abbottsford with an estimated deliver<br />
date <strong>of</strong> June 2010. This versatile truck will respond to vehicle accidents, first responder calls and<br />
fire calls.<br />
process with all <strong>of</strong>ficers working as a team to make the necessary changes to ensure we keep a<br />
safe and consistent approach to emergency incidents and every day duties.<br />
spring with this program now being transferred from operations to Deputy Chief Skolrood's<br />
portfolio.<br />
Continue to liaison with regional emergency service personnel.<br />
Continue to work/liaison with regional partners on service agreements, 911 dispatch, mutual<br />
aid, and confined space rescue.<br />
38
2009 Year in Review: <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire - Rescue Services<br />
Fire Prevention & Training Highlights<br />
Fire Prevention, Public Education and Training initiatives have been ongoing throughout 2009. A new<br />
Fire Training Officer and Fire lnspector were hired and required to hit the ground running in order to<br />
meet the challenges 2009 presented them. A 3 year contract for fire investigation and inspections was<br />
agreed upon with the Village <strong>of</strong> Lumby and the fire investigation contract with the District <strong>of</strong> Coldstream<br />
was updated to match. <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire Rescue Services partnered with <strong>Vernon</strong> Community Policing and<br />
delivered the training for CUPE's <strong>City</strong> Watch program. A Tri-<strong>City</strong> tour allowed for a comparison <strong>of</strong><br />
methodology in both prevention and training and provided a starting point as to the direction VFRS<br />
needed to go. A "Sell don't tell!" attitude supported with a fine system for enforcement was adopted as<br />
a compliance strategy for prevention. The strategy has been applied to targeted problem occupancies<br />
and has resulted in a number <strong>of</strong> significant successes. A training overview and goals and objectives were<br />
created as well as discussions started with College <strong>of</strong> the Rockies and the B.C. Justice lnstitute with<br />
intent <strong>of</strong> bringing VFRS training in line with the NFPA 1001 Standard and setting the stage for the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> a strong training program framework for both VFRS's career and volunteer firefighters.<br />
39
2009 Yeor in Review: <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire -<br />
Rescue Services<br />
Inspedions<br />
Routine inspections, re-inspections and pre-planning activities indicated a good general level <strong>of</strong><br />
compliance in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> for Fire Code requirements in 2009. The Captains and crews<br />
completed the bulk <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Vernon</strong> inspections while the new Fire lnspector was able to deal more<br />
effectively with higher level inspections and problem occupancies as well as performing 97 inspections<br />
for the Village <strong>of</strong> Lumby.<br />
Fire lnvestigations<br />
ln 2009 VFRS preformed 20 structure, 9 vehicle and 14 outdoor fire investigations in the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>.<br />
VFRS did 7 structure, 2 vehicle and 6 outdoor fire investigations in the District <strong>of</strong> Coldstream as well as 4<br />
structures and 1 vehicle fire investigation for the Village <strong>of</strong> Lumby. The ability <strong>of</strong> VFRS to perform these<br />
investigations was further increased by members attending the lnternational Association <strong>of</strong> Arson<br />
lnvestigator 3 day training convention in Chilliwack and Dr. John DeHann's Advanced Fire lnvestigation 2<br />
day workshop in Langley<br />
Public Education<br />
Public Education opportunities continue on a request basis, and visiting the fire station for fire and life<br />
safety education continues to be popular amongst day cares, pre-school and regular school classes.<br />
VFRS assisted with the fire safety planning for Sparkling Hills, Predator Ridge, Creekside Landing, Heron<br />
Grove, Canadian Lake Estates and Community Futures. VFRS had an active presence at several<br />
community events such as the Sunshine Festival, DND career day, Winter Carnival, Silver Star Rotary's<br />
Mass CPR and the Christmas Light Up. Fire Prevention week saw crews doing presentations in the<br />
elementary schools and running a coloring contest where 2 successful contestants became Fire Chief for<br />

a day. VFRS's Juvenile Fire Setter program dealt with 2 children fascinated with fire play as well as 3<br />
cases from the Restorative Justice Program. The Canada Day Fireworks were a great success mostly as a<br />
result <strong>of</strong> the purchase <strong>of</strong> a new firing system and a lot <strong>of</strong> hard work by VFRS and surrounding<br />
department personnel. Once again VFRS will be delivering the popular car seat installation program as<br />
funding has been secured for training early in the New Year.<br />
TraÍning<br />
Training re-cert¡fícations for First Medical Responder, HazMat, Traffic Control and Confined Space, and<br />
regular task and drill activities along with Driver Training have been completed. ln addition VFRS has<br />
purchased Action Training's new interactive fire training s<strong>of</strong>tware, and all <strong>of</strong> VFRS career and volunteer<br />
firefighters are completing the modules. Further, in preparation for the wildland fire season, the<br />
Forestry S100A re-certification course was completed on site at Predator Ridge. The threat <strong>of</strong> pandemic<br />
required specific training in hln1 awareness for both career and volunteer firefighters. A Fire Officer 2<br />
course was completed successfully by 6 VFRS firefighters and Fire Officer t has been undenaken by 2<br />
more, insuring strong leadership in the future. L4 members took the prevue assessment which has been<br />
the start <strong>of</strong> a program in succession train¡ng. Train the trainer opportunities such as Emergency Driving<br />
Legal Liabilities; Gas and Electrical Safety were attended by VFRS <strong>of</strong>ficers in order to effectively and<br />
economically distribute this important information to the crews. Several VFRS personnel were able to<br />
attend major events such as the World Police and Fire Games in Vancouver, The Fire Department<br />
lnstructor Conference in lndianapolis and The Redmond Health and Fitness Symposium in Los Angeles<br />
bringing back world class information pertinent to the safety and the success <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire Rescue<br />
Services Lastly but most significantly, the addition <strong>of</strong> the new Training Officer has accelerated the<br />

ln addition, with the emergence <strong>of</strong> H1N1 in the spring, Emergency Management coordinated <strong>City</strong><br />
pandemic preparedness, including preparation <strong>of</strong> a comprehensive Pandemic Response/Business<br />
Continuity Plan. Emergency Management continues to work closely with the lnterior Health Authority to<br />
monitor the impact <strong>of</strong> the virus on the local community and to prepare for a possible third wave <strong>of</strong><br />

Significant progress was made in Emergency Preparedness in 2009, including the following projects:<br />
provision <strong>of</strong> Emergency Management services to Enderby, Lumby, Armstrong, Spallumcheen<br />
and RDNO (ESS only)<br />
ESS<br />
Due to ongoing recruitment efforts and community awareness generated by extensive media coverage,<br />
the team experienced moderate - yet highly qualitative -<br />
growth through the year. <strong>Vernon</strong>/Coldstream<br />
ESS now consists <strong>of</strong> 21 highly trained and dedicated "core" members (including five municipal staff),<br />
divided into four Level 1 duty teams.<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> the broader volunteer recruitment and retent¡on strategy, <strong>Vernon</strong>/Coldstream ESS embarked<br />
upon a re-branding process to build esprit de corps amongst the volunteers. To this end, a new logo was<br />
adopted that replaced the generic Provincial version on all t-shirts, signs, awards, etc. Volunteers were<br />
also recognized through one dinner and six luncheons during the year.<br />
Table-top exercises and ESS drílls were held on a bi-monthly basis at either VFRS or the Recreation<br />
Centre, and the team participated in a joint live-fire exercise with VFRS suppression personnel. ln<br />
addition, the team hosted several accredited Justice lnstitute <strong>of</strong> BC courses, including the followingr<br />

DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT<br />
PLAN 324, DL 71, ODYD (3705 - 24<br />
PURPOSE:<br />
To review the Development Variance Permit application submitted by <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>of</strong><br />
Constructive Concepts to vary the minimum unit width and minimum number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-street<br />
parking spaces for a proposed townhouse project to be constructed at 3705 - 24 Avenue.<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
THAT Council approve the Development Variance Permit application submitted by <strong>of</strong>ficials<br />
<strong>of</strong> Constructive Concepts to vary the minimum unit width from 6.0m to 5.5m and to vary the<br />
minimum number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-street parking spaces from 20 spaces to 18 spaces for a 12 unit<br />
townhouse project to be constructed on Lot 68, Plan 324, DL 71, ODYD (3705 - 24<br />
Avenue) subject to the following conditions:<br />
1. That a 1.7m wide road right-<strong>of</strong>-way widening dedication be registered prior to the<br />
issuance <strong>of</strong> the Development Variance Permit;<br />
2. That a 1.5m wide Statutory Right-<strong>of</strong>-way or road right-<strong>of</strong>-way be registered along the<br />
east boundary <strong>of</strong> the property to allow for a public walkway to be constructed; and<br />
3. That the site plan form part <strong>of</strong>, and be attached to, the Development Variance Permit<br />
as Schedule'A'.<br />
ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS:<br />
1. Council may approve the application subject to conditions that vary from those<br />
recommended by staff.<br />
2. Council may deny one or both <strong>of</strong> the variance items applied for. This would result in the<br />
development plans having to be revised. The degree <strong>of</strong> revision would directly relate to<br />
which item or items being varied.<br />

ANALYSIS:<br />
A. Gommittee/BoardRecommendations:<br />
At their meeting held on February 9,2010, the Advisory Planning Board adopted a<br />
resolution supporting the recommendation in the staff report.<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
1. The applicant is proposing to construct a 12 unit townhouse complex (refer to<br />
Figure 6) on the property at 3705 - 24 Avenue (refer to Figures 1 - 4). The<br />
property is zoned RM1 - Row Housing Residential which permits row housing<br />
buildings that consist <strong>of</strong> no more than six units per building. The subject proposal<br />
has twó buildings with six units in each. The proposal conforms to all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />
the zoning provisions except for the minimum unit width and parking which are the<br />
subject <strong>of</strong> this aPPlication.<br />
2. The minimum unit width for a row housing unit is 6.5m. The applicant has designed<br />
a 5.5m wide unit that provides for 57 sq.m. (965 sq.ft.) ground and second floor<br />
area (refer to Figures 10 and 11). The ground floor contains the enclosed single<br />
vehicle garage, bathroom, entrance way and a flex room (rec room, bedroom,<br />
etc.). Thê second contains the kitchen, dining, living room, master bedroom and<br />
bathroom. Staff support the unit width reduction as the design submitted provides a<br />
functional unit. Staff also support the width reduction because there are green<br />
space areas to be installed between the garage and entrance doonruays. The intent<br />
for the 6.5m building width is to allow for opportunities to provide landscaping and<br />
open space in the front <strong>of</strong> the unit. The landscape design meets that -objective.<br />
lf<br />
the application is to be approved, then the proposed site plan should form part <strong>of</strong><br />
the approved permit as it will contain the noted landscaping.<br />
3. Compact sized housing units provide an opportunity to provide lower sale prices<br />
and rental rates. The unit width forms part <strong>of</strong> the ability to achieve compactness.<br />
Unit size criteria in various residentíal zones will be included in the upcoming<br />
review <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw in order to provide the mechanism to implement the<br />
policies and guiding principles in the Official Community Plan,<br />
4. With regard to the proposal to lower the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>f-street parking spaces for the<br />
12 unitJ from 20 spaces to 18 spaces, staff support this as the site is proximate to<br />
services, transit and trails, There will be one enclosed parking space per unit, plus<br />
six spaces for visitors. This allows visitors to not have to park along 24 Avenue'<br />
S. The initial site plan submitted by the applicant did have 20 parking spaces.<br />
However, after the staff review, it was determined there would need to be a 1.7m<br />
road right-<strong>of</strong>-way widening along 24 Avenue in order to construct the necessary<br />
<strong>of</strong>f-site works (i.e. sidewalk, curb, gutter, road tie-in, street lights, etc.). The initial<br />
site plan had an outside parking space between each building and 24 Avenue.<br />
Those parking spaces would not fit if the 1.7m road right-<strong>of</strong>-way widening is<br />
required as a condition <strong>of</strong> the approval <strong>of</strong> this application. Consequently, those<br />
parking spaces were deleted from the drawing and a second variance item was<br />
46
3-<br />
included in the application. The revised site plan now has a front yard area that can<br />
be landscaped to improve the street appeal <strong>of</strong> the project, provide additional trees<br />
and other plantings and provide more permeable area.<br />
6. A future public walkway linking 24 Avenue to 25 Avenue has been identified using<br />
part <strong>of</strong> the subject property. The proposed future 3.0m wide walkway is shown on<br />
Figure 3. lt is proposed that 1.5m would be dedicated from each property as<br />
redevelopment or subdivision occurs. A portion <strong>of</strong> the walkway has been dedicated<br />
adjacent to Lot A, Plan 56558 when that property was subdivided. The actual<br />
walkway would be constructed after the entire right-<strong>of</strong>-way has been registered.<br />
Therefore, it is recommended that a 1.5m wide portion <strong>of</strong> the right-<strong>of</strong>-way be<br />
acquired as an approval condition for the subject variances'<br />
Z. The s1e plan indicates there would be 3.8m side yard setback areas which is wider<br />
than the minimum 1.2m setback as permitted in the bylaw. ln order to<br />
accommodate the 1.5m walkway right-<strong>of</strong>-way, the site plan is to be revised by<br />
shifting over the buildings and driveway and lessening the side yard setbacks to<br />
3.05m on both sides, By requiring the revised site plan to form part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Development Variance Permit, it ensures the 3.05m side yard setbacks would be<br />
on the plan approved for construction.<br />

RE: Develooment Variance Permit Application - 3705 24th Ave. Attainable Housing Proiect<br />
Dear Mr. Lippert and <strong>City</strong> Council,<br />
We have recently submitted an application for a Development Variance Permit to construct an<br />
AttainaÞle Housing project on 24th Avenue in <strong>Vernon</strong>. This 12 unit community is located close to the<br />
downtown core and will <strong>of</strong>fer our city an innovative and much needed affordable solution for housing.<br />
Our project vision and design focus is inspired by the facts that 690/o <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> households are one and<br />
two person occupancy with a median income level <strong>of</strong> $55,000 per year. In addition to the attainable<br />
selling price <strong>of</strong> these units, we have also included sustainable building design, and more than double<br />
the required green space area which incorporates a playground and park area to encourage community<br />
interaction. The compact and comfortable living spaces will see space saving storage systems and the<br />
project's location will encourage the use <strong>of</strong> alternative means <strong>of</strong> transportation such as bicycles. (Please<br />
refer to our enclosed information brochure).<br />
While we have done our best to plan this exciting project to compliment the surrounding neighborhood<br />
and to comply with existing zoning bylaws, there are two development variances we are seeking:<br />
1. W¡dth <strong>of</strong> Units: The zoning requires that the minimum width for each Row Housing Unit be<br />
6.5metres. Due to several contributing design factors (cost for affordability, maximizing<br />
density, property size etc.) we have designed the units to be 5.5m wide, As mentioned above,<br />
our innovative floor plans and use <strong>of</strong> space will provide very functional, comfortable living<br />
spaces and <strong>of</strong>fer flex space to accommodate different family needs. For these reasons we are<br />
requesting a variance for the minimum width <strong>of</strong> the units to be 5.Smetres<br />
2. Parking Requirements: Through the preliminary DP review process, it has been brought to our<br />
attention that the <strong>City</strong> Engineering department would like to see 1.7metres <strong>of</strong> our propefty<br />
along 24th Avenue be dedicated as a road right-<strong>of</strong>-way, Due to this road dedication two visitor<br />
parking spaces will be lost at the front <strong>of</strong> the buildings. However, there will be six visitor spaces<br />
at the rear <strong>of</strong> the bu¡¡dings and each unit will have one enclosed parking space within the<br />
Ground Floor <strong>of</strong> each unit. The Zoning Bylaw requires 1.67 parking spaces (which includes the<br />
visitor spaces) per unit while we are able to provide 1.5 parking spaces per unit. Subsequently,<br />
there will be a total <strong>of</strong> 18 spaces provided for the 12 units being proposed, Our target market is<br />
also for households that would typically have one vehicle per household, In summary, we are<br />
requesting a relaxation for two visitor parking stalls due to the 1.7m road right <strong>of</strong> way<br />
dedication required by the <strong>City</strong>.<br />
We thank you for the opportunity to present this proposal and ask that you carefully consider these<br />
variance requests while keeping in mind the importance <strong>of</strong> the purpose <strong>of</strong> this project. We look forward<br />
to building a successful project and contributing in a small way towards a solution for Attainable and<br />
Affordable housing in our community.<br />

Dear Ms Patti Bridal:<br />
Pursuant to Mr. Dale Rintoul's letter <strong>of</strong> February 10,2010 concerning the Public lnput Session - Development Variance<br />
Permit Application #00180 for Lot 68, Plan 324, DL 71, ODYD (3705-24tn Ave), please be advised <strong>of</strong> the following.<br />
On behalf <strong>of</strong> the Canadian Mental Health Association, <strong>Vernon</strong> & District Branch, I am forwarding our interest in the DVPA<br />
#001 80.<br />
Firstly, Canadian Mental Health Association is a proponent for Attainable and Affordable Housing, and therefore we are<br />
not speaking against the proposed development. We wish Mr. Evans and the Constructive Concepts Ltd great success in<br />
the development <strong>of</strong> the aforementioned project.<br />
Secondly, as owner <strong>of</strong> the adjacent property, which is to the east <strong>of</strong> the proposed development, it is my understanding<br />
that there is a proposal that is outstanding.<br />
Specifically, The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> previously proposed that if the opportunity ever arose, a suitable linkage would be made<br />
for a connection corridor from 25'n Ave to 24'n Ave.<br />
I trust that the consideration for this corridor will be a part <strong>of</strong> the proposed project.<br />
lf further clarification is necessary, please contact me at your conventence.<br />

SILGA Resolution to Request lncreased Shoulder Width <strong>of</strong> Okanagan<br />
Highways<br />
Background<br />
ln November 2007, the Province outlined targets for reducing greenhouse Bas emissions (GHG) by at<br />
least 33 per cent below 2007 levels bV 2020 (Attachment 1 contains the press release from the<br />
Premier's <strong>of</strong>fice).<br />
ln order to comply with this direction and be able to report progress on reaching these targets,<br />
transportation infrastructure is a vital component. Transportation in BC accounts for 40% <strong>of</strong> GHG<br />
emissions. Encouraging alternative forms <strong>of</strong> transportation is a key factor in reducing the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
emissions. Cycling is one <strong>of</strong> the most popular, efficient carbon neutralforms <strong>of</strong> transportation around<br />
the world, which could become one in the Okanagan Region (with the exception <strong>of</strong> cycling <strong>of</strong> the<br />
winter months).<br />
The Okanagan Valley has outstanding natural landscapes and a significant tourism industry (local<br />
wineries, restaurants, beaches, parks) that have a wide appeal for touring and commuting cyclists to<br />
travel within the Okanagan Region and between communities. Municipalities and districts want to<br />
encourage the reduction <strong>of</strong> GHG and increase tourism within the valley. However, the existing<br />
highways are inadequate and unsafe for cyclists, discouraging commuters and tourists in the use <strong>of</strong><br />
this alternative mode <strong>of</strong> transportation.<br />
STLGA Resolution<br />
Shoulder W¡dth and Rumble Strips Required on Okanagan Highways<br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
WHEREAS municipalities and communities within the Okanagan Valley are taking positive steps<br />
towards attaining the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets, introduced by the Province in November<br />
63
-2-<br />
2OO7; through the incorporation and emphasis <strong>of</strong> alternative transportation and infrastructure in<br />
planning and development;<br />
AND WHEREAS Okanagan residents and visitors travelling to and between Okanagan Valley<br />
communities require safe cycling infrastructure to provide alternative modes <strong>of</strong> transportation:<br />
THEREFORE BE lT RESOLVED that safe and adequate cycling be incorporated into highway design and<br />
construction consisting <strong>of</strong> a shoulder width <strong>of</strong> a minimum two metres that includes a rumble strip<br />
alongside the driving lane;<br />
AND BE lT FURTHER RESOTVED that all existing highway improvements and future highway projects<br />
include these requirements throughout the province.<br />

NEWS RELEASE<br />
B.C. INTRODUCES CLIMATE ACTION LEGISLATION<br />
Office <strong>of</strong> the Premier<br />
Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment<br />
VICTORIA - British Columbia took a major step forward in the fight against global warming with the<br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act, Premier Gordon Campbell and Environment<br />
Minister Barry Penner announced today.<br />
"This act puts into law the most aggressive greenhouse gas reduction targets in North America and<br />
makes our carbon neutral government commitment legally binding," said Campbell. "The Greenhouse Gas<br />
Reduction Targets Act will be marked as a turning point in confronting global warming and protecting<br />
the environment for future generations."<br />
The act puts into law British Columbia's target <strong>of</strong> reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) by<br />
at least 33 per cent below 2007 levels by 2020.It also requires that realistic, economically viable interim<br />
targets for 2012 and20I6 be set by the end <strong>of</strong> 2008, and further establishes an emission reduction target<br />
<strong>of</strong> 80 per cent below 2007 levels by 2050. The government will also be required to publish a report<br />
every two years outlining the progress made towards reaching the emissions reduction targets.<br />
The act requires the provincial govemment, including provincial ministries and agencies,<br />
schools, colleges, universities, health authorities and Crown corporations, to become carbon neutral by<br />
2010 and to make public a report every year detailing actions taken towards carbon neutrality.<br />
"We are the first government in North America to require all public sector organizations to<br />
publicly report on their emissions levels, on the actions they have taken to reduce these levels, and their<br />
plans for continuing to minimize emissions," said Penner, who introduced the legislation. "Our<br />
government will lead by example, first by reducing our emissions as much as possible and then<br />
<strong>of</strong>fsetting the remainder."<br />
The carbon neutral requirements will apply starting in 2008, with respect to greenhouse gas<br />
emissions produced by govemment business travel by the Legislative Assembly and by provincial<br />
government ministries and agencies. Travel emissions in the last three months <strong>of</strong> 2007 will also be<br />
included, as announced by the Premier at the UBCM convention.<br />
In 2010, the requirements witl be expanded to apply to all emissions from government<br />
operations, as well as the operations <strong>of</strong> schools, colleges, universities, health authorities, Crown<br />
corporations and other public sector organizations.<br />

B.C. INTRODUCES CLIMATE ACTION LEGISLATION<br />
Page2 <strong>of</strong>2<br />
To help ensure that GHG emissions reduction targets are met, next year the B.C. government<br />
will bring forward additional legislation to regulate emissions from different sectors. Legislation will<br />
include:<br />
o Setting up a cap-and-trade system for large emitters, which will put in place firm "caps"<br />
or limits on the quantity <strong>of</strong> emissions allowable from large sources, while providing for<br />
participation in emissions trading systems.<br />
o Adopting Califomia tailpipe standards for new vehicles, which will require car<br />
manufacturers' vehicle fleets to be progressively more efficient and clean.<br />
o Introducing a low-carbon fuel standard requiring distributors <strong>of</strong> fuels such as gasoline<br />
and diesel to reduce the carbon content <strong>of</strong> these fuels by 10 per cent by 2020.<br />
o Providing authority for the regulation and capture <strong>of</strong> landfrll gases.<br />
"Climate change is a monumental challenge that means we have to think beyond the present and<br />
to imagine and plan for the type <strong>of</strong> future that we want the next generation <strong>of</strong> British Columbians to<br />
inherit," said Campbell. "We are taking decisive and necessary action to confront the global warming<br />
crisis, but we're doing it in a way that will increase our quality <strong>of</strong> life and support our economy through<br />
increased innovation and new technologies."<br />

Dear Mayor Lippert and Members <strong>of</strong> Council:<br />
At this time last year, the BC Solicitor General announced a remarkable<br />
first in BC and in Canada: Licensing for the BC home inspection industry'<br />
I'm writing today to update you on Progress and on our increasing<br />
experience with homes and proPerties that were formerly mariiuana grow<br />
ops or drug labs.<br />
CAHPI(BC) had worked for many years to secure this vital licensing<br />
initiative in consumer protection, and this included letters to you to ask for<br />
your help. The efforts <strong>of</strong> so many to<br />
effective: Licensing was announced<br />
standards were acknowledged as bei<br />
individuals who had earned the CA<br />
designations were granted licenses.<br />
Since then, and the implementation <strong>of</strong> licensing two months later, British<br />
Columbians have been the great beneficiaries. ln part that's becarrse those<br />
who were not qualified to bè in the industry quiçkly fou-nd that licensing's<br />
requirement <strong>of</strong>þro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> training and standards chased them from the<br />
márkeþlace. Ids also because ihrough licensing, standards in the home<br />
inspection industry have continued to climb.<br />
CAHPI(BC)'s commitment to driving consumer awareness and protection<br />
has increased, too. With the purpose <strong>of</strong> a home inspection to-better equip<br />
people to make an informed ãecision on what is likely to be the most<br />
ä*päntirr" purchase they'll ever mak -<br />
the -purchasé<br />

Buying a home? Can you tell if it was a grow-op?<br />
Some words <strong>of</strong> advice from the<br />
Canadian Association <strong>of</strong> Home and Property Inspectors <strong>of</strong> BC<br />
It used to be that a grow-op in a town or neighbourhood was used until it was publiclyr:nmasked<br />
or the hõuse was destroyed. Now, illegal grow operators take a quick crop from<br />
a house, re-paint the interior to maék any obviouJdamage then dump it on the market.<br />
With an increasing percentage <strong>of</strong> real estate available for sale in BC havingpreviously been<br />
used as marijuani$'ow-op slites, CAHPI(BC) wants you to know some <strong>of</strong> the warning signs:<br />
. Holes or patches in the ceiling in r¡nusual places, or a patch in the drywall dose to<br />
electrical services.<br />
. Painted-over staple marks, or evidence <strong>of</strong> plastics stapled to walls or ceilings.<br />
. Disconnected toilet or dismantled furnace fresh air a¡rd exhaust ducts.<br />
. Extraneous ductwork, or a pile <strong>of</strong> u¡rused duct pipe.<br />
. Unexplained caulking or sealant on interior floors, walls, or ceilings.<br />
Consumers who seek pr<strong>of</strong>essional and<br />

alwayi with ø aiew toward positiae outcomes for the municipnlities, their residents, the company nnd<br />
the þublic at large. Howeaer, in the case <strong>of</strong> resolution 817, [CP] cannot <strong>of</strong>fer support for what,<br />
unfortunately, is a<br />
flawed approach.<br />
The resolution is based on a aicur that mu<br />
ithin røil corridors, cønbe d<br />
ønd would not cøuse signifiunt conflicts<br />
tions, This is not an accuÍa<br />
recommendøtions in your resolution. The<br />
reasons why we haae define<br />
wny but the most importønt <strong>of</strong> those is the safety <strong>of</strong> both the public ønd rail ernployees. SgfttV is the most<br />
imþortønt considera.tion in decision-making at CP and the UBCM resolution, if implemented, would<br />
creøte an unacceptøble enaironment for safe railway operations by bringing municipøl residents in too<br />
close contact with dny to day røil operøtions. Recent work by the federal goaernment's Rnil Safety Act<br />
Reaiew Pønel reffirmed the need, where possible, to minimize the "risks <strong>of</strong> proximity when trains and<br />
people interact".<br />
In addition, railwøy rights <strong>of</strong> wny are uitical to meeting the needs for future infrastructure<br />
improaements to ensure the ability to meet customer demand. CP is not in a position to remoae assets<br />
f'rom our rights <strong>of</strong> way for ølternøte uses such øs bike paths on a genernl bøsis. Our future plnnning<br />
needs will be compromised, which will erode our øbility to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> our customers looking to<br />
compete successfully in a aery competitiae global mørketplnce. The benefits to BC from ø trøde<br />
perspectiae require us to continuously pløn for gro othbased on initiatiaes like the Asia Pacific Gøtanay<br />
ønd Corridor Initiatiue. Preseruing our rights <strong>of</strong> way is essential to meeting this objectiae.<br />
Trade growth ønd economic expansion require growth in the trønsportation carridor.INhile consltmer<br />
goods and bulk products can mol)e by truck on proaincial highways ønd roads, these same products can<br />
-be transported by rail in n aery efficient way. Efficiencies are such that some trøins can repløce as many<br />
as 250 trucks.<br />
RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE COMMENTS<br />
The Resolutions Committee notes thøt members h"øue consistently supported the expansion <strong>of</strong><br />
community trails (2002-885,2002-867,2005-882) ønd members hnae supported the use <strong>of</strong> øbøndoned<br />
rail lines for public use (1,992-872). The Committee also notes thnt UBCM members indicated support<br />
for the Island Corridor Foundation's proposøl to preserae the E €¡ N rail corridor for alternatiae<br />
tr ansportøtion uses (2005-8143 ).<br />
This pøst year, a proaincial Trails Adaisory Committee deaeloped a draft Proaincial Trails Strøtegy.<br />
The vision for trails in BC is expressed in this document is as follows:<br />
" A world-renowned nefutork <strong>of</strong> sustainøble trails, øccessible to all, which fosters socinl, culturø\, heølth,<br />
economic and enaironmentølbenefits for trails users, communities ønd the prooince."<br />
,Nhile this document does address trøils on ø proaince-wide scøle, it is expected thnt specit'ic local<br />
circumstances will need to be tøken into considerøtion when deaeloping regional components. The<br />
UBCM proaided comments on the draft øs part <strong>of</strong> the consultation process and a<br />
final report was to be<br />

200e B.22 DOWNTOWN BUILDING FACADE<br />
REVITALIZATION GRANT PROGRAM<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong><br />
WHEREAS the Province in the past implemented a successful funding program to assist<br />
downtown building owners to revitalize-the building façade in accordance with downtown<br />
design guidelines, which <strong>of</strong>ten provided the necessary incentive for owners to participate in<br />
the revitalization <strong>of</strong> their community's downtor n;<br />
AND WI{EREAS many downtowns are characterized by historic buildings and features<br />
which can be particulariy costly to maintain or preserve, especially for small business owners,<br />
yet can be important to the success <strong>of</strong> the downtown area:<br />
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the provincial downtown building façade revitalization<br />
grant program be reinstated to assistbuilding owners with façade improvements that conform<br />
to adopted downtown design guidelines.<br />

PROVINCIAL RESPONSE<br />
MINISTRY OE COMMIINITY T R¿IR,{T DEWLOPMENT<br />
As per the Proaince <strong>of</strong> British Columbia's (Proaince) response in 2007, the Downtown Reaitalization<br />
pylgram proaided funding for projects øt a time when locnl goaernment had fayr financing<br />
tools. In<br />
recõnt years, the Proaince has creøted a number <strong>of</strong> tools that un be used by all local goa.ernments to<br />
undertake downtown reoitalization programs, and with the creøtion <strong>of</strong> the Municipal ,Finance<br />
Authority ønd changes to the Community Chørter, locøl goaernments now høae access to short ønd<br />
Iong-term capital financing at competitiae interest rates.<br />
Changes to the Community Charter høae also proaided local goaernments with access to øn anen more<br />
flexíb-le ønd ødaptable reoitalizøtion tax exemption tool. The enhanced reoitølizøtion tool enables<br />
councíls to promote any type <strong>of</strong> social, economic or enz¡ironmentøl reoitalizntion, such øs the upgrade <strong>of</strong><br />
buildings, with faaer restr:ictions. In øddition, the Community Chnrter authorizes local goaernments to<br />
pr ooide tax exemp tions for pr ote cted heritage pr op erties.<br />
Since 2007, ø number <strong>of</strong> prouincial funding progrø<br />
hnae also been deaeloped. The BC Spirit Squares pr<br />

RESOLUTIONS COMMTTEE COMMENTS<br />
The Resolutions Committee notes that oaer the years, UBCM membership hns expressed strong support<br />
for the continuance or reinstatement <strong>of</strong> the Downtozon Reaitalizøtion Program (2007-81-44; 2006-836;<br />
1998-89; 1987-A8).<br />
92
ln its response to the 2007 resolution on this topic, the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Communíty Seraices identified tools<br />
for locøI goaernments to use when undertaking downtown reaitalizntion programs. One tool is a<br />
reaitalization tax exemption, which canbe used for social, economic or enaironmental reaitalizøtion, øs<br />
well as heritage properties and areøs designated for reaitølization. Alternøtioely, the Ministry pointed<br />
out that the BC Spirit Squnres and Tou¡ns for Tomorrow funding programs are designed to nssist with<br />
dow nt ou¡ n r ea it alizatio n,<br />
The Ministry also suggested that the creation <strong>of</strong> the Municipal Finnnce Authority and changes to the<br />
Community Chnrter had enabled local goaernments to øccess short- and long-term cøpital finnncing at<br />

Re: Sterile lnsect Release Board Meeting<br />
At the January 20, 2010 Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan (RDNO) Board <strong>of</strong> Director's<br />
meeting the following recommendation from the Sterile lnsect Release (SlR) Service Review<br />
was endorsed:<br />
That the Sterile lnsect Re/ease Seruice Review be concluded with the understanding that the<br />
Administrator will initiate discussion with pafticipating Regional Districts and w¡th the Sterile<br />
lnsect Re/ease Board <strong>of</strong> Directors regarding the possibility <strong>of</strong> establishing a fixed dollar limit on<br />
the RDNO contribution and obtain further clarity on the process for expanding the mandate <strong>of</strong><br />
S/R and proposed restructure plans relative fo fhese financial matters.<br />
Upon that direction, I attended the February 5, 2010 Sterile lnsect Release Board Meeting to<br />
discuss the issues which were identified in the Service Review. I anticipate a letter from SIR on<br />
this matter, and will be providing a report to the Board <strong>of</strong> Directors in the near future, when the<br />
letter from SIR is received.<br />
The SIR Board was advised that full consent has not been reached for the two RDNO bylaws,<br />
S/R Seruice Esfab/rshment Amendment Bylaw No. 2232 and S/R Service Esfab/rshment<br />
Amendment Bylaw No.2293, which the Ministry is holding at 3'd reading, pending the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> providing consent.<br />
The RDNO representative, Jack Gilroy, advised the SIR Board that he believed the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> was prepared to provide consent for the two bylaws; however I am not aware <strong>of</strong> a letter<br />
in which the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> has confirmed their consent.<br />

SUBMITTED BY: Dale Rintoul, Planner DATE: February 12,2010<br />
FILE: 3900-02<br />
SUBJECT: REVISION TO FEES AND CHARGES BYLAW #3909<br />
PURPOSE:<br />
To provide Council with recommended revisions to the Fees and Charges Bylaw as part <strong>of</strong><br />
the annual review <strong>of</strong> the bylaw,<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
That Council support revisions to Fees and Charges Bylaw #3909 as outlined in attached<br />
Figure 1 and outlined in part B (3) <strong>of</strong> the staff report dated February 12,2010.<br />
ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS:<br />
ANALYSIS:<br />
1. Council may not support the proposed revisions to the bylaw.<br />
2. Council may support some <strong>of</strong> the proposed revisions.<br />
3. Council may support new fees and adjustments to existing fees that differ from those<br />
recommended by staff.<br />
A. Committee/Board Recommendations:<br />
N/A<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
1. On an annual basis, staff are requested to review the rates for services provided<br />
and recommend revisions they consider are warranted. Planning staff are involved<br />
in a number <strong>of</strong> applications and processes where fees are charged for the service<br />
provided.<br />
2. ln 2009, a comprehensive review <strong>of</strong> the Fees and Charges Bylaw as it relates to<br />
planning tasks was undertaken and a number <strong>of</strong> changes were approved. The<br />
changes were a reflection <strong>of</strong> a review <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s "Benchmark Communities" (as<br />
listed in Council's policy) and were based on the staff time and the related costs<br />
incurred processing the various land use applications. Only minor changes to the<br />
103
-2-<br />
Fees and Charges Bylaw are being proposed this year. An overview <strong>of</strong> the<br />
recommended fee changes is as follows:<br />
a) lnsert a new fee <strong>of</strong> $50 for a one year extension to a Development Permit<br />
approval. This is to cover the time to review and respond to the extension<br />
request. ln most cases, such requests are straight forward and the<br />
extension letter requires no revisions to the approval conditions.<br />
b) lnsert a new fee <strong>of</strong> $50 for a landscape and irrigation re-inspection related<br />
to a Development Permit. Once landscaping and irrigation are installed,<br />
applicants request a staff inspection. lf there are deficiencies with the<br />
landscaping and irrigation, staff re-inspect the installation after the<br />
deficiencies are corrected. Sometimes there are multiple re-inspections. A<br />
re-inspection fee would provide an incentive for the landscaping and<br />
irrigation to be installed from the onset in accordance with approved plans,<br />
c) Decrease the fee for a Heritage Alteration Permit (HAP) from $1,100 to<br />
$200. HAPs are only applied to heritage propeilies and require a minimal<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> work - specifically design review. The $1,100 currently collected<br />
is an impedíment to the regular refurbishment and development <strong>of</strong><br />
properties which are listed on the Heritage Register. Property owners have<br />
indicated a perceived bias against heritage property owners and have<br />
indicated a reluctance to remain on the Heritage Register because <strong>of</strong> this.<br />
Lowering the cost <strong>of</strong> the HAP would remove some <strong>of</strong> the perceived bias and<br />
signal a willingness on behalf <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> to continue to preserve heritage<br />
buildings and support owners <strong>of</strong> heritage properties'<br />
d) Decrease the fee for a renewal <strong>of</strong> a Development Permit from $500 to $200.<br />
Development Permit renewals require a minimal amount <strong>of</strong> staff time in<br />
comparison to Development Variance Permit renewals. As such, the fee for<br />
reviewing a Development Permit file and issuing a renewal should be less.<br />
A fee <strong>of</strong> $200 is sufficient to <strong>of</strong>fset the staff time to review and issue a<br />
renewal for a Development Permit.<br />
e) Remove the fee for Environmental Development Permits as the <strong>City</strong> no<br />
longer issues such permits.<br />
f) Remove fee 'T) Liquor Licence Application Fee' from the fee schedule as it<br />
is a repeat <strong>of</strong> 'P) Liquor Licence Application Fee'.<br />
g) lnsert a $500 strata conversion application fee in order to cover the staff<br />
costs to review the application, present a report to Council and follow up<br />
actions if the application is approved.<br />

REPORT/RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL<br />
TRIG|hlAL<br />
SUBMITTED BY: Dale Rintoul, Planner DATE: February 11,2010<br />
FILE: 2ON00101<br />
SUBJECT:<br />
SITE 360 CONSULTING INC. - REQUEST TO EXTEND PROCESSING<br />
PERIOD FOR REZONING BYLAW #5115 FOR REM. LOT 2,DL 62, PLAN<br />
1744, ODYD (6468 OKANAGAN LANDING ROAD)<br />
PURPOSE:<br />
To review the request from <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>of</strong> Site 360 Consulting lnc. to extend the processing<br />
period for Rezoning Bylaw #5115 from January 28,2010 to July 28,2010. The subject<br />
bylaw has been granted Third Reading and is awaiting conditions to be satisfied prior to<br />
being considered for Fourth Reading and Adoption. The bylaw proposes to rezone the<br />
property at 6468 Okanagan Landing Road from A3 - Rural Small Holdings to R1 - Estate<br />
Lot Residential, R4 - Small Lot Residential and C1 - Neighbourhood Commercial.<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
That Council approve an extension to the processing period for Rezoning Bylaw #5115<br />
from January28,2010 to July 28,2010 as requested by <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>of</strong> Site 360 Consulting lnc.<br />
ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS:<br />
ANALYSIS:<br />
1. Council may approve the extension to the bylaw processing timeline for a period that<br />
varies from that recommended by staff. This may provide the applicant with less or<br />
more time to complete the conditions.<br />
2. Council may deny the request and pass a motion that the readings <strong>of</strong> the subject<br />
rezoning bylaw are rescinded as <strong>of</strong> January 28,2010 due to the conditions not being<br />
satisfied. The applicant will then decide whether to resubmit the same or a revised<br />
appl ication, or term i nate the application/project i ndefin itely.<br />
A. CommitteeBoardRecommendations:<br />
N/A<br />
1t_ 1
-2-<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
1. ln June 2007, <strong>of</strong>ficials from Site 360 Consulting lnc. applied to rezone the subject<br />
property from A3 - Rural Small Holdings to R1 - Estate Residential, R4 - Small<br />
Lot Residential and C1 - Neighbourhood Commercial as shown on Figure 6. The<br />
application was supported by Council and the rezoning bylaw proceeded to the<br />
point that Third Reading was granted on January 28, 2008 and Fourth Reading<br />
would not be considered until the following conditions were satisfied:<br />
a) The owner is to register road right-<strong>of</strong>-way to widen Okanagan<br />
Landing, realign and widen the Okanagan Avenue intersection, and<br />
extend Snowberry Road in accordance with the requirements <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Municipal Engineer;<br />
b) The owner is to enter into a Development Agreement that governs<br />
and secures the <strong>of</strong>f-site works related to roads, sidewalks, curb,<br />
gutter, street lighting, traffic lighting, all services and utilities and<br />
boulevard works; and<br />
c) The owner is to register a covenant on the title <strong>of</strong> the property<br />
restricting access to the properly and egress from the property in<br />
accordance with a plan approved by the Municipal Engineer.<br />
Accesses are to conform to the <strong>of</strong>f-site works to be constructed by<br />
the owner.<br />
2. The applicant has indicated they are near completion <strong>of</strong> the engineering design<br />
plans, the environmental assessment reporl concerning new drainage conditions,<br />
the second road dedication plan, the initial subdivision plan (see Figure 9) and the<br />
Development Agreement for <strong>of</strong>f-site works. As noted in the applicant's letter <strong>of</strong><br />
February 1,2010 (see Figure 1), the value <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>f-site works is approximately<br />
$1.7 million. The covenant and rights-<strong>of</strong>-way will form part <strong>of</strong> the three lot<br />
subdivision plan that will create the parent parcel for the bareland strata<br />
subdivision, the separate single family dwelling lot and the neighbourhood<br />
commercial lot.<br />
3. The proposed project involves 76 single family bareland strata lots, a fee simple lot<br />
for the existing single family dwelling on the property and a neighbourhood<br />
commercial lot at the realigned intersection. Figure 8 illustrates the layout <strong>of</strong> the<br />
small neighbourhood commercial complex.<br />
4. Access to the commercial complex is via Okanagan Avenue in order to retain the<br />
effectiveness <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Landing Road as a traffic corridor. Primary access to<br />
the residential portion <strong>of</strong> the project is from Okanagan Avenue with secondary<br />
accesses from Snowberry Road and Okanagan Landing Road. Only a portion <strong>of</strong><br />
Snowberry Road will be constructed with this development. The remainder will be<br />
constructed when the neighbouring lands are approved for redevelopment. All <strong>of</strong><br />
the Snowberry Road right-<strong>of</strong>-way will be dedicated with this development.<br />
IT2
3-<br />
5. The applicant has also indicated that the intent <strong>of</strong> the residential component <strong>of</strong> the<br />
project is to provide compact homes and lots. The objective is for homes in a<br />
moderate price range to assist with the provision <strong>of</strong> attainable housing in the<br />
community.<br />
6. Staff support the requested extension in order to have the remaining conditions<br />
satisfied. This project will be valuable to the community as it will provide new public<br />
infrastructure (i.e. sidewalks, streetlights, road widening, utility extensions, etc.)<br />
along the three public roads fronting the property. There will be boulevard<br />
landscaping installed that will províde an attractive feature to the arca. The<br />
proposed neighbourhood commercial site would provide convenient services to<br />
area residents and visitors. The planned extension <strong>of</strong> Snowberry Road continues<br />
the public road network circulation plan for the area.<br />

Strateqic Plan Obiectives:<br />
The subject application involves the following objectives in Council's Strategic Plan:<br />
E.<br />
Pol icv (Existinq/Relevance/None) :<br />
1. The subject property is designated Residential - Low Density on the land use map<br />
in the Official Community Plan. The following OCP policies govern the various<br />
Residential designations and are particularly relevant to the rezoning application<br />
for the subject property.<br />
"6.4 The following housing forms and maximum densities are<br />
associated with each density classification:<br />
113
4-<br />
Form<br />
Maximum Density<br />
Low Density Single family detached 30 units/ha (12 units/acre)<br />
Two family detached<br />
Duplex<br />
Row Housing<br />
Medium Density Townhouse<br />
Apartments<br />
Mixed use<br />
High Density Apartments<br />
Mixed use<br />
1 10 unitsiha (44.5 units/acre)<br />
170 units/ha (69 units/acre)<br />
Rural Residential Single family detached 1 uniLl2 ha (1 unit/5 acres)<br />
It is noted that these are maximums, and are not necessar¡ly<br />
appropriate or achievable in all areas. Consideration is given to the<br />
density <strong>of</strong> surrounding development, designation <strong>of</strong> the land and<br />
optimizing infrastructure provision.<br />
6.14 Local convenience retail outlets (retail uses designed to serue the<br />
surrounding neighbourhood) may be permitted in any residential<br />
designation, subject to:<br />
a. Commercial zoning is limited to a corner parcel;<br />
b. The zoned site does not exceed an area larger than 2,000 sq.m.<br />
(21,500 sq.ft.); and<br />
c. At least one side <strong>of</strong> the parcel abuts an existing or proposed<br />
collector or similar principal road."<br />
2. The proposed R4 and R1 residential areas will have a density <strong>of</strong> less than seven<br />
units per acre which meets the OCP policy. The size and location <strong>of</strong> the proposed<br />
C1 neighbourhood commercial site meets OCP policy 6.14.<br />
3. On February 12, 2007 Council adopted the following policy regarding "inactive<br />
bylaws":<br />
"Corporate Policy<br />
Bylaws - lnactive<br />
POLICY<br />
Recognizing that Council direction and policy may change during an<br />
inactive time period <strong>of</strong> a Bylaw, and that the approval conditions <strong>of</strong><br />
Bylaws which are inactive, may differ from 12 months previously,<br />
Council will provide staff with direction in how to proceed with these<br />
situations.<br />
rt4
-5-<br />
DEFINITIONS<br />
lnactive Bylaws are descríbed as being bylaws in which no further<br />
action has been taken in regards to further readings <strong>of</strong> Council or have<br />
not proceeded due to conditions set by Council not being completed<br />
over a 12 month period from the last <strong>of</strong>ficial reading <strong>of</strong> the Bylaw.<br />
PROCEDURES<br />
Staff will review any outstanding Bylaws which have been inactive for<br />
12 months.<br />
ln rezoning and OCP Bylaw amendments, planning staff will confirm<br />
that bylaw is inactíve and that the applicant is not actively working in<br />
completing the conditions <strong>of</strong> Council. The applicant will be provided, in<br />
writing, a request from <strong>City</strong> staff as to the status <strong>of</strong> their amendment<br />
Bylaw and advised that Council will be proceeding with consideration <strong>of</strong><br />
rescinding the initial readings <strong>of</strong> the Bylaw due to inactivity. The<br />
applicant will be given an opportunity to respond to Council in this<br />
regard, and if no response is received within the time frame allotted (30<br />
days), Council will proceed with consideration.<br />
For internal Bylaws which may have been deferred pending further<br />
information, or not acted upon due to other circumstances, Council may<br />
request an update on the Bylaw from the originator and then consider<br />
rescinding the initial readings <strong>of</strong> the Bylaw."<br />
4. RDNO parks <strong>of</strong>ficials have indicated they require "cash in lieu" <strong>of</strong> parkland<br />
dedication when the property is subdivided into single family bareland strata lots,<br />
Open space development cost charges will also be collected at the subdivision<br />
stage. As shown on Figure 5, there will be two private open space/park areas<br />
within the bareland strata subdivision. Nearby Marshall Fields will provide public<br />
parkland for the residents <strong>of</strong> the proposed development.<br />
F. Relevant Historv:<br />
1. Council granted First and Second Readings <strong>of</strong> the subject rezoning bylaw on<br />
November 26,2007. The Official Public Hearing was held on January 14, 2008 and<br />
Third Reading was granted on January 28,2008. Council policy allows for a one<br />
year bylaw processing period from the granting <strong>of</strong> Third Reading.<br />
2. Council granted a six month extension to the bylaw processing period which<br />
expired on January 28, 2009. The efension period ended July 28, 2009. Council<br />
granted a fufther six month extension which recently expired on January 28,2010.<br />

RE: Zoning Application - 6468 okanagan Landing Road - Lot 2 Planlz44DL 62<br />
ODYD except Plan 24116 BYLAW Number 5115,2007<br />
We are writing as a follow up to our letter to you <strong>of</strong> January 15, 2009 which led to an extension <strong>of</strong><br />
our timeline for completíon <strong>of</strong> the fourth reading <strong>of</strong> the above noted zoning bylaw until January 28,<br />
2010.<br />
As mentioned in our previous letter (copy attached), we have been working diligenuy on this<br />
project and coordinating our efforts with <strong>City</strong> staff on a number <strong>of</strong> issues. lncluded in these is the<br />
servicing agreement with all <strong>of</strong> its associated covenants, easements, and rights <strong>of</strong> way. Another<br />
major part <strong>of</strong> the servicing agreement is the letters <strong>of</strong> credit and associated financing for the<br />
significant amount <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fsite works (approximately $1.7 million) required for this project to<br />
proceed.<br />
We are presently finalizing the financial anangements to allow us to move forward with the<br />
required letters <strong>of</strong> credit. Once this is complete, we will then be able to provide the letters <strong>of</strong><br />
credit required to meet fourth reading bonding conditions.<br />
We expect to have all items in place and to approach Council for fourth reading in the near future.<br />
However, to ensure we are not required to ask for additional extensions, we are requesting an<br />
extension to July 28,2010.<br />

Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan and support the draft plan bylaw continuing<br />
fonruard to Public Hearing.<br />
131
ANALYSIS:<br />
-2-<br />
2. Council may choose to not support the draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan<br />
bylaw moving fonruard to puUtic Hearing. The current neighbourhood plan would<br />
continue to aPPlY.<br />
3. Council may endorse the draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan with different<br />
and/or additional revisions and updates than those recommended by staff'<br />
A. Committee/Board Recommendations:<br />
The Advisory Planning Board (APB) at their January 12,2010 meeting passed the<br />
following resolution:<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
"THAT the Advisory Planning Board recommends Council support and<br />
endorse the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> úernon, próposed draft, Bella Vista West Neighbourhood<br />
Plan, OCPOOO37, as presented to the Board on January 12,2010'"<br />
1. On August 26,2OOg se from 5:30 p'm' to 8:00 p'm' in<br />
Council Chambers,<br />
ople attending' All residents and<br />
property owners with<br />
area were mailed invitations to the<br />
event. Âds *er" also placed in the Morning Star inviting the general. public to<br />
attend. ln addition to ihe <strong>City</strong> hosted open house, staff were also invited by<br />
residents to attend a public mêeting at the Deer Park Restaurant September 28,<br />
2OOg. More than'100 people attenðed this meeting. The main issues presented<br />
through the input process ielated to park locations and facilities, re-designation <strong>of</strong><br />
comliercial lands to residential, and re-designation <strong>of</strong> Lot C, Plan42323 (Morning<br />
Glory property) for multi family development. A summary and response table is<br />
attached along with the input received as Figure 2'<br />
2. As a result <strong>of</strong> input received from the community, staff reviewed several<br />
components <strong>of</strong> the 'draft Neighbourhood Plan and support the proposed revisions<br />
for the following reasons:<br />
a) The two public park locations initially proposed required alteration for the<br />
following reasons:<br />
i. The p2 site adjacent to Tronson Road conflicted with a portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
septic disposal and was moved further south to accommodate the<br />
private utility function in the area; and<br />
¡i. The property owner where the P1 site was to be located adjacent to<br />
Tavistock Rôad requested the public park facilities be relocated to the<br />
new location south <strong>of</strong> Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road. As the proposed location and<br />
facilities meet the objectives <strong>of</strong> the plan, staff have supported the change<br />
in park location proposed by the property owner'<br />
132
-3-<br />
C. Attachments:<br />
b) Road and trail locations were altered as a result <strong>of</strong> additional engineering<br />
review and design work completed since the draft plan was prepared.<br />
c) Construction <strong>of</strong> roads and servicing during the development <strong>of</strong> the existing<br />
subdivisions left a parcel adjacent to Tavistock Road that was proposed as<br />
Hillside Residential Multi-Family inaccessible. The property owner<br />
requested the designation be changed to Parks and Open Space for this<br />
parcel. As the parcel is not accessible from Tavistock Road due to existing<br />
development, staff supporl the change in designation.<br />
d) The property owner has requested a change in designation for a parcel<br />
adjacent to Tavistock Road from Hillside Residential Multi-Family to Hillside<br />
Residential Single and Two Family. Staff support the designation change as<br />
services including roads have been constructed through the parcel for single<br />
family development.<br />

1 .0 Physical Characteristics<br />
The Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area consists <strong>of</strong> 296 hectares (731 acres) located<br />
eight kilometres west <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> Centre District. The neighbourhood plan area is defined by the<br />
shoreline <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake to the south and west, the <strong>City</strong> boundary with lndian Reserve 1<br />
(t.R. 1) to the north and property parcel boundaries on the east.<br />
Site Toooqraphv<br />
Map I<br />
Site topography within the neighbourhood plan area consists <strong>of</strong> slopes with southeast to<br />
southwest aspects. The southern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area includes predominately south and<br />
southeast aspects. The north portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area includes predominately west aspects.<br />
Steep slopes are found throughout the plan area including large areas exceeding 30%. Steep<br />
slope areas are found both in the higher elevation portion <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area and in<br />
lower elevation areas, including portions adjacent to Okanagan Lake. Site elevation extends<br />
from 342 metres at Okanagan Lake to the highest point in the plan area at 835 metres.<br />
Draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010<br />
I<br />
pase 3 I37
A significant ridgeline extends from the highest point<br />
in the northeast portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area and extends<br />
southwest to the peninsula point. View corridors<br />
from the southern portion <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan<br />
area are <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Vernon</strong> Arm <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake.<br />
View corridors from the northern portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
neighbourhood plan area are <strong>of</strong> the North Arm <strong>of</strong><br />
Okanagan Lake. The southern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan<br />
alea is prominently visible from throughout the<br />
Okanagan Landing Road and Eastside Road areas,<br />
and is also visible from higher elevation locations<br />
within the <strong>City</strong> Centre, Mission Hill, East Hill and Middleton areas <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>. Although the<br />
northern portion <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area is not visible from areas within the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Vernon</strong>, it is visible from development on the west side <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake and from areas<br />
adjacent to the North Arm <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake.<br />
Site Geologv and Soils<br />
The neighbourhood plan area includes areas<br />
<strong>of</strong> lacustrine, glacial till and colluvial soils with<br />
sandy to loam textures. Soil depth is variable<br />
with areas <strong>of</strong> deep lacustrine soils to areas <strong>of</strong><br />
thin soil veneer over bedrock. Exposed<br />
bedrock is found throughout the site, but is<br />
concentrated on steep slope sites adjacent to<br />
Okanagan Lake and as higher elevation rock<br />
bluffs. Site bedrock consists <strong>of</strong> both<br />
sedimentary materials and intrusive and<br />
extrusive igneous rock.<br />
Site Ecoloqv<br />
The neighbourhood plan area is within the lnterior Douglas-Fir biogeoclimatic zone. Ecosystems<br />
include tree stands <strong>of</strong> Douglas Fir and open stand Ponderosa Pine, as well as areas <strong>of</strong> rock<br />
outcrop and grasslands. Sensitive Ecosystem lnventory (SEl) mapping completed in 2003 is<br />
available for the entire neighbourhood plan area (see Map 6).<br />

2.0 Planning Context<br />
Neighbourhood plans are detailed plans that<br />
supplement the Official Community Plan<br />
(OCP) and provide additional guidance for new<br />
growth and development in a given area.<br />
Neighbourhood plans are prepared for the<br />
purpose <strong>of</strong> meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community as it grows and ensures the<br />
community is ready for development at such<br />
time as it occurs.<br />
On July 22, 1996 Council adoPted OCP<br />
Amendment Bylaw ///,246 to include the Bella<br />
Vista West Neighbourhood Plan in the OCP.<br />
Since the neighbourhood plan was adopted,<br />
the number <strong>of</strong> homes in the plan area has<br />
grown from approximately 50 units in 1996 to<br />
approximately 220 units in 2009. During the<br />
OCP review process, several property owners<br />
presented requests to review designations in<br />
the plan area in addition to expanding the plan<br />
area boundaries. lt was determined during the<br />
2OOB OCP review process that any review <strong>of</strong> designations within the neighbourhood plan area<br />
should be considered through a review <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan. As such, Council authorized<br />
staff to conduct a review <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood plan.<br />
The Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area is identified in the OCP 2008 as being within<br />
Neighbourhood Planning Area 2 (NPA-2) which consists <strong>of</strong> the Hillside Residential and<br />
Agricultural Districts. As per Section 20.3 <strong>of</strong> the OCP 2008, the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood<br />
Plan review must identify and consider the following:<br />
OCP 2008 Guiding PrinciPles;<br />
Current and future community needs;<br />
Community impact and benefit;<br />
Context <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood planning area within the community;<br />
Natural features;<br />
Environmental management considerations arising from application <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Environmental Management Areas Strategy;<br />
Potential archaeological significance <strong>of</strong> the site;<br />
Where applicable, the Hil/srde Guidelines must be incorporated;<br />
Existing and required infrastructure (e.g. Storm, sewer, water, roads);<br />
Transportation linkages (e.g. vehicle, pedestrian, cycling, transit);<br />
Parks, recreation and oPen space;<br />

l. Community facilities, services and amenities;<br />
m. Land use and densities;<br />
n. Development pattern and sequencing;<br />
o. Neighbourhood built form and character;<br />
p. Opportunities for the use <strong>of</strong> alternate development standards (e.9. green<br />
infrastructure, green buildings, alternate energy sources);<br />
q. Neighbourhood sustainability and contribution to overall community sustainability;<br />
r. <strong>City</strong> identified need for additional residential development that cannot be<br />
accommodated in Neighbourhood Planning Area 1 (NPA-1); and<br />
s. Directly adjacent to existing infrastructure, and the <strong>City</strong> has identified an economic<br />
benefit to the city with greater utilization <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure.<br />
The neighbourhood plan area is within OCP 2008 Development District and Development<br />
Permit Area #3. Both the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental Management Area Strategy<br />
apply to lands within the plan area.<br />
The land use designations to be applied to lands within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood<br />
Plan area are illustrated on Map 3.<br />

3.0 Residential<br />
Goals;<br />
To provide a variety <strong>of</strong> sizes and formats <strong>of</strong> residential units in the context <strong>of</strong> existing residential<br />
development, including secondary suites.<br />
To pursue the provision <strong>of</strong> attainable housing units within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Provide opportunities for greater residential density where site conditions and locations provide<br />
the opportunity for greater utilization <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure and services.<br />
Ensure that new development sustains existing views from adjacent residential units as much<br />
as possible.<br />
Ensure that new development considers the form and characteristics <strong>of</strong> existing adjacent<br />
residential units.<br />
Gontext:<br />
Existing residential development within the neighbourhood plan area consists <strong>of</strong> predominately<br />
single family development. However, there are components <strong>of</strong> multifamily development located<br />
on Peregrine Way and Adventure Bay Road. Average home size and average lot sizes in the<br />
neighbourhood plan area are higher than the <strong>City</strong> average. Home values within the plan area<br />
are also above average for the <strong>City</strong>. Residents in the area include a mix <strong>of</strong> families, couples,<br />
active senior couples and some single person households. There is a significant component <strong>of</strong><br />
residential occupancy within the plan area which is seasonal, with the neighbourhood<br />
experiencing more residents occupying their homes in the summer than during the winter<br />
months. Many <strong>of</strong> the current home owners within the neighbourhood plan area have a second<br />
residence outside the Okanagan where they spend the winter months.<br />
The majority <strong>of</strong> the existing development within the neighbourhood plan area that is designated<br />
in the OCP 2008 as Residential Low Density is developed with single family dwellings. The<br />
Residential Low Density OCP 2008 designation permits a maximum unit density <strong>of</strong> 12 units per<br />
acre (30 units per hectare). The Hillside designation in the OCP 2008 does not include a<br />
maximum density provision. However, in Zoning Bylaw #5000, the HR1 - Hillside Residential<br />
Single and Two Family zone includes a maximum density <strong>of</strong> 10 units per acre (24 units per<br />
hectare). lt is important to protect the character <strong>of</strong> the existing neighbourhood as new<br />
development occurs, Conflicts can occur when the size and setbacks <strong>of</strong> new homes are out <strong>of</strong><br />
scale and context with adjacent existing homes.<br />
Although the majority <strong>of</strong> existing development within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan<br />
area is in single family format, as noted there are components <strong>of</strong> ground oriented multifamily<br />
development. ln addition, larger undeveloped parcels <strong>of</strong>fer an opportunity for additional<br />
Draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010 lpageg 143
multifamily development that will add to the diversity <strong>of</strong> housing types within the neighbourhood<br />
plan area. The creation <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> housing types will assist in developing additional diversity<br />
within the neighbourhood.<br />
Apartment housing development forms are also limited within the neighbourhood plan area'<br />
Opportunities for additional apartment development are in the centre <strong>of</strong> the plan area above<br />
Tronson Road and in the southwest portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area below Tronson Road. Although<br />
topography in the plan area limits the opportunities to pursue apartment housing, the addition <strong>of</strong><br />
units in this form within the neighbourhood plan area will also add to the diversity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
neighbourhood.<br />

4.0 Commercial<br />
Goals:<br />
To provide opportunities for home based<br />
businesses within the neighbourhood plan<br />
area.<br />
To provide opportunities for viable<br />
commercial development in the context <strong>of</strong> a<br />
limited neighbourhood customer market.<br />
Context:<br />
With a build out <strong>of</strong> approximately twelve hundred residential units proposed for the<br />
neighbourhood plan area, the population <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood will require some commercial<br />
services to reduce their need for trips to the nearest neighbourhood centre currently located<br />
around Landing Plaza on 25th Avenue and future commercial complexes in the Waterfront<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area. As the neighbourhood plan area is at the end <strong>of</strong> Tronson Road, and<br />
at this time there are no plans to extend Tronson Road northward through lR #1 lands, no traffic<br />
from outside the plan area will assist in supporting businesses. Due to this isolated location,<br />
commercial uses must be fully supportable by the neighbourhood population. However, the<br />
customer market is not sufficient to support a designated commercial area, particularly given the<br />
significant seasonal fluctuations in residential occupancy. Without consistent year round<br />
customers, even small scale businesses such as a convenience store are unlikely to be viable.<br />
ln the future, as residential development areas are completed and the neighbourhood<br />
population grows, opportunities for seasonal temporary food services may be viable in the form<br />
<strong>of</strong> a summer ice cream shop or other business <strong>of</strong> a similar scale. A possible location is adjacent<br />
to the public park, as the lake access across from this location and the central location in the<br />
neighbourhood may create enough <strong>of</strong> a customer base during the summer months to support<br />
business in this format.<br />
One commercial operation (a restaurant) is located within the northern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area<br />
adjacent to Tronson Road. Although the neighbourhood plan has the restaurant property<br />
designated Residential Low Density, the commercial zoning <strong>of</strong> the property is intended to<br />
remain in place. Therefore, the business operation on the property will remain legally<br />
conforming.<br />
Policv:<br />
4.1 Commercial uses shall be limited to home based businesses and temporary seasonal<br />
commercial operations adjacent to the public park near Tronson Road and Tavistock<br />
Road.<br />

5.0 Neighbourhood Amenities -<br />
Parks & open space<br />
Goals:<br />
Work with Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan<br />
- Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation and<br />
Culture to provide active and passive park<br />
space meeting the growing and changing<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista West neighbourhood'<br />
Work with Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan<br />
- Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation and<br />
Culture and community organizations to<br />
provide additional recreational facilities and<br />
services to meet the needs <strong>of</strong> the<br />
neighbourhood's growing population'<br />
work with the Regional District <strong>of</strong> North okanagan - Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation<br />
Culture to provide two neighbourhood parks within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
The need for additional public trails and public neighbourhood parks has been identified by the<br />
current residents <strong>of</strong> the area and in the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and Recreation Master Plan.<br />
Additional passive and active park areas are required to accommodate passive activities,<br />
recreation play areas, hard surface play areas and pocket parks. Additional private recreational<br />
facilities including tennis courts, pool and private common beach areas are located within the<br />
developed portions <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area. However, these are not public facilities and<br />
are not accessible to all residents within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
parks, recreation, and cultural services in <strong>Vernon</strong> are provided through the Regional District <strong>of</strong><br />
North Okanagan - Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation and Culture. One passive public park<br />
(designed for viewing, resting and other uses involving limited physical activity and limited need<br />
for facilities and/or equipment) is located in the Bella Vista West neighbourhood plan area along<br />
the lake in the southwest portion <strong>of</strong> the Neighbourhood Plan. This park is identified in the<br />
Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> parks and Recreation Master Plan as a Natural Area. Facilities will include a<br />
trail connecting Tronson Road to the shore <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake (Trail 4). This moderately steep<br />
trailwill provide pedestrian and access to the lakeshore'<br />
The Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> parks and Recreation Master Plan identified a need for a 2.5 hectare<br />
neighbourhood park within the plan area. The neighbourhood plan divides this 2.5 hectare park<br />
into two smaller active neighbourhood parks ( designed for recreation activities and includes the<br />
required facilities and/or equipment for these activities). One is a 1.0 hectare park located on the<br />
south side <strong>of</strong> Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road (shown as P1 on Map 4). The second is a 1.5 hectare park located<br />
Draft Betta Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010<br />
I<br />
page 13 I47
etween Tronson Road and Goldclaim Road (shown as<br />
P2 on Map 4). These two parks are intended to be<br />
constructed as a function <strong>of</strong> further residential<br />
development in the neighbourhood plan area. All three<br />
public park areas are designated as Parks and Open<br />
Space on Map 3.<br />
ln addition to these three public parks, the neighbourhood<br />
plan area contains significant private park areas that will<br />
form a part <strong>of</strong> common properties for adjacent residential<br />
developments. These areas are designated Parks and<br />
Open Space on Map 3.<br />
Four future public trails are identified, one connecting<br />
Goldclaim Road to Tavistock Road (shown as Trail 1 on<br />
Map 4), the second connecting the terminus <strong>of</strong> Tavistock<br />
Road to Tronson Road (shown as Trail 2 on Map 4), the<br />
third connecting Tavistock Road switchbacks along the eastern edge <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan<br />
area to Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road (shown as Trail 3 on Map 4) and the forth trail connecting Tronson road to<br />
the waterfront (shown as Trail 4 on Map 4). Trails 1 & 3 in connection with portions <strong>of</strong> Goldclaim<br />
Road, Tavistock Road and Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road create the "Ribbons <strong>of</strong> Green Trail" within the<br />
neighbourhood plan erea. All trails will be designed to accommodate pedestrians and<br />
whereever topography will allow and where appropriate will be designed to also accommodate<br />
cyclists. The three trails defined in the neighbourhood plan will include allweather surfacing.<br />
Suooortinq Policies:<br />
S.1 Support the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and Recreation Master Plan recognition <strong>of</strong> the need<br />
for neighbourhood park area in the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan.<br />
5.2 Support the creation and expansion <strong>of</strong> recreational parkland (shown as P1 and P2 on<br />
Map 4) and trails (shown as Trail 1, Trail 2, T¡ail 3 and Trail 4 on Map 4) serving the<br />
needs <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood and meeting the following criteria:<br />
e. Centralto the population it serves;<br />
b. Within or adjacent to designated residential areas;<br />
c. Enhances the liveability <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood;<br />
d. Meets an identified need in the neighbourhood;<br />
e. lncreases resident access to recreation opportunities;<br />
f. Provides enhanced and/or expanded access to the Okanagan Lake waterfront;<br />
g. Provides connections to and between parks;<br />
h. Easily accessible for pedestrians and where terrain allows cyclists;<br />
i. Topographically suited to the intended uses;<br />
Draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010 lpage 14 1,48
j Does not adversely impact on highly sensitive ecosystems, threatened species, or<br />
riparian features; and<br />
k. Park design to include public participation.<br />
5.3 The <strong>City</strong> supports the addition <strong>of</strong> neighbourhood park areas (shown as P1 and P2 on<br />
Map 4), including the provision <strong>of</strong> the following:<br />
a. Hard surfaced play area;<br />
b. Grass surface play area;<br />
c. Playground equipment;<br />
d. Natural passive park areas;<br />
e. Benches and picnic area;<br />
f. Public on-site vehicle and bicycle parking; and<br />
g. Appropriate signage.<br />
5.4 Three <strong>of</strong> the designated publictrails (Trail 1, Trail 2,Trail3) are to be provided through<br />
statutory rights-<strong>of</strong>-way and are to be designed to accommodate pedestrians and where<br />
terrain will allow and where appropriate cyclists.<br />
5.5 Trail 4 is to be a public trail within the lakeshore public park connecting future parking<br />
adjacent to Tronson Road with the waterfront.<br />

6.0 Transportation<br />
Goals:<br />
lmprove the livability <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area by increasing the<br />
use <strong>of</strong> alternative transportation modes<br />
including, but not limited to, cycling and<br />
walking.<br />
Secure adequate rights-<strong>of</strong>-way for future<br />
transportation projects.<br />
Provide a secondary emergency access route<br />
connecting through the Bella Vista<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area from the end <strong>of</strong><br />
Goldclaim Road to the southeast corner <strong>of</strong> the<br />
neighbourhood plan area at Tronson Road.<br />
Context:<br />
The location <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista Neighbourhood Plan area presents several transportation<br />
challenges. Tronson Road is the only road access into the neighbourhood plan area. All<br />
vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians share the right-<strong>of</strong>-way for access to the area. The area is not<br />
serviced by public transit, and the number <strong>of</strong> residential units proposed within the plan area will<br />
not support transit service in the future. However, School District #22 does provide bus service<br />
to carry children to elementary and secondary schools. Limited pedestrian infrastructure is<br />
available within the neighbourhood plan area. The proposed trail network and the addition <strong>of</strong><br />
sidewalks and bicycle lanes will improve the opportunities for alternate transportation in the<br />
neighbourhood plan area. During the 2009 public consultation process, residents stressed the<br />
need for an emergency access alternative to Tronson Road. The portion from the end <strong>of</strong> Cr<strong>of</strong>ton<br />
Road to Tronson Road is existing and the portion connecting Goldclaim Road to Tavistock Road<br />
will be constructed as a function <strong>of</strong> new development in the area.<br />
Suoportinq Policies:<br />
6.1 pedestrian and cycling connections to and within this area will be supported by<br />
promoting development that encourages alternative transportation as per policy 26'7 in<br />
ocP 2008.<br />
6.2 The city will work with new development to create better pedestrian and alternative<br />
transportation access to recreation areas and parks as per policy 26.8 in OCP 2008.<br />

6.4<br />
6.5<br />
provide a public access route from the end <strong>of</strong> Goldclaim Road to Tavistock Road (shown<br />
as Trail 1 on Map S). This public access is to be gated at both ends, will be available for<br />
pedestrians and cyclists and in the case <strong>of</strong> emergency, will be capable <strong>of</strong><br />
accommodating vehicle tratfic. The connection from the intersection <strong>of</strong> Tronson Road<br />
and Goldclaim Road to the intersection <strong>of</strong> Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road and Tronson Road is<br />
designated as a "Ribbons <strong>of</strong> Green Trail"'<br />
Wherever possible, pedestrian connections between roads are to be provided in order to<br />
increase connectivity and minimize the length <strong>of</strong> travel for pedestrians.<br />
Transportation networks are to be designed and constructed according to the Hillside<br />
Guidelines.<br />

7.0 Environment<br />
Goals:<br />
Protect grassland, rangeland and gullies'<br />
Support invasive species management and<br />
encourage the selection <strong>of</strong> appropriate landscape<br />
species.<br />
Protect biodiversity, sensitive ecosystems, wildlife<br />
habitat and movement corridors.<br />
Provide for the maintenance <strong>of</strong> ecosystem<br />
function.<br />
Reduce the interface conflict between residential,<br />
agricultural and Park lands.<br />
Provide connectivity between natural areas.<br />
lntegrate habitat protection, interface management, wildlife corridor creation and invasive<br />
species control into all permitting processes and land use decision making'<br />
Context:<br />
The Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area includes lands having low, medium and high<br />
ecosystem sensitivity according to the Sensitive Ecosystem lnventory (SEl). ln addition, the<br />
neighbourhood plan area includes south facing, arid grasslands and rangelands, sparse forest<br />
cover in the upper lands and lakeshore riparian areas along Okanagan Lake'<br />
This area has been impacted by cattle grazing, but is otherwise a greenfield site which supports<br />
diverse wildlife species and grassland habitats. The creation and protection <strong>of</strong> wildlife corridors,<br />
refuges and access to open water is important for the modification <strong>of</strong> this land from lightly<br />
disturbed greenfield conditions to a residential neighbourhood. Wildlife currently living on and<br />
moving through this area will be brought into conflict with new residential property owners<br />
should insufficient area and access be provided for their movement and habitat needs.<br />
As well, during the development <strong>of</strong> a neighbourhood in this area, consideration <strong>of</strong> buffers<br />
between residential uses and remaining grassland, agricultural lands and park lands need to be<br />
included to avoid unnecessary issues arising from fire break requirements, agricultural animal<br />
escapes, noise and nuisance issues along the land use interface lines.<br />
Draft Belta Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010 lpage20 154
Supportinq Policies:<br />
7.1 Apply the Environmental Management<br />
Areas Strategy to all lands within the<br />
neighbourhood plan area during review<br />
<strong>of</strong> all develoPment aPPlications<br />
including rezoning, subdivision,<br />
development permit and development<br />
variance Permit.<br />
7.2 Protect open spaces, natural areas,<br />
natural features, essential habitats and<br />
sensitive ecosystems within the neighbourhood plan area as per policies 11.3,11.4 and<br />
11.5 in OCp 2008 and in compliance with all applicable provincial and federal<br />
regulations.<br />
7.3<br />
7.4<br />
Support opportunities for neighbourhood residents to participate in the protection and<br />
conservation <strong>of</strong> the environment within the plan area.<br />
Support opportunities for education on the features, species, and ecosystems located<br />
within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />

8.0 Energy<br />
Goals:<br />
lntegrate the use <strong>of</strong> solar, geothermal and wind energy generation throughout the<br />
neighbourhood plan area, as appropriate.<br />
Explore opportunities for neighbourhood energy projects, as appropriate.<br />
Context:<br />
The neighbourhood plan area is located on a south facing slope at the end <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake in<br />
an area with natural bedrock. This provides ideal conditions for the integration <strong>of</strong> solar, wind and<br />
geothermal energy generation into residential construction, as well as part <strong>of</strong> street and trail<br />
lighting. The price <strong>of</strong> energy, and its availability, can impact not only how energy efficient homes<br />
are, but determine the long term cost <strong>of</strong> operating a home. This can also be applied to those<br />
shared amenities and infrastructure elements which require energy to operate, such as street<br />
lights and trail lights. lmplementation <strong>of</strong> energy generation capacity within the plan area will<br />
provide residents and strata organizations with the option to operate their homes and common<br />
areas at a lower cost over the long term, with less environmental impact.<br />
Suooortinq Policies:<br />
g.1 Encourage the planning, design and construction <strong>of</strong> energy aware neighbourhoods and<br />
buildings, including the minimization <strong>of</strong> the non-renewable energy use and investing in<br />
energy efficient design features as per policy 10.2in OCP 2008.<br />
8.2 Emphasize innovation in building design and raise awareness <strong>of</strong> green building options,<br />
mate¡als sourcing, energy alternatives and consideration <strong>of</strong> the needs <strong>of</strong> future property<br />
owners for energy efficient options, balanced with the cost <strong>of</strong> construction es per policy<br />
10.3 in OCP 2008.<br />
8.3 Promote energy conservation and community awareness <strong>of</strong> energy use and its<br />
alternatives as per policy 10.8 in OCP 2008.<br />

9.0 Agriculture<br />
Goals:<br />
ldentify and protect agricultural lands.<br />
Provide opportunities for food production to residents within<br />
the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
All lands within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area are within the Agricultural and<br />
Hillside Residential District (District 3) <strong>of</strong> the OCP 2008 Land Use Plan. Within the northeast<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area are lands designated as Rural<br />
Agriculture (RA). Portions <strong>of</strong> these lands are currently utilized for agricultural purposes but due<br />
to topography and rocky soil conditions, use has been limited to cattle grazing and calving.<br />
Although the plan area does not support large scale agricultural cultivation, residential gardens<br />
may be viable in certain portions <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area. Limitations on the viability <strong>of</strong><br />
residential garden space will include irrigation, water availability, poor soils, rocky outcrops and<br />
steep slopes.<br />
Suooortinq Policies:<br />
9.1 Create buffers to discourage interaction between agricultural activities, grazing and<br />
calving and residential activities through the installation <strong>of</strong> dense landscaping and<br />
fencing.<br />
9.2 Encourage the construction <strong>of</strong> community garden space adjacent to residential<br />
developments without private, ground level outdoor space, or in areas readily accessible<br />
to residents in multifamily residential developments.<br />
9.3 Ensure the creation and use <strong>of</strong> residential gardens are not impeded through strata<br />
bylaws and/or covenants registered on title.<br />
9.4 Support opportunities for education on gardening and food production for neighbourhood<br />
plan area residents.<br />
g.S Prevent the spread <strong>of</strong> noxious weeds and the introduction <strong>of</strong> invasive species from<br />
gardens and residential landscaping as per Landscape Bylaw #5014.<br />
9.6 Ensure buffer landscaping is composed <strong>of</strong> grassland ecosystem appropriate native<br />
plants.<br />
Draft Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan 2010 I page 24 1 58
10.0 Social Planning<br />
Goals:<br />
Ensure development proposals are reviewed in the context <strong>of</strong> the health and safety <strong>of</strong> the<br />
existing and future residents <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood'<br />
lnclude Crime prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) considerations in the review<br />
<strong>of</strong> development aPPlications.<br />
Support the development <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> residential housing form and sizes within the<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
Support the development <strong>of</strong> accessible childcare for residents within the neighbourhood plan<br />
alea.<br />
Gontext:<br />
It is important that the health, safety and well being <strong>of</strong> current and future residents are included<br />
in planning for the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood plan area is situated on the periphery <strong>of</strong><br />
the city, does not havã public transit service and does not <strong>of</strong>fer health, personal or commercial<br />
services within the neighbourhood. This limits the opportunity to provide housing options for all<br />
members <strong>of</strong> the community. However, there are opportunities to encourage a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
residential development forms and unit sizes to provide housing options for more household<br />
types, and to enhance the accessibility <strong>of</strong> public amenities to ensure the needs <strong>of</strong> the people<br />
utilizing the facilities are being met'<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
10.1 Encourage a variety <strong>of</strong> housing forms and unit sizes'<br />
10.2 Work towards universal physical accessibility in new development and to public facilities<br />
and amenities, policy 16.13 in OCP 2008'<br />
10.3 Continue efforts to support affordable and accessible childcare for residents in the<br />
neighbourhood Plan area.<br />
10.4 Utilize Crime prevention Through Environmental Design principles (CPTED) in the<br />
review process for rezoning and development applications (policy 16.19 in OCP 2008)'<br />

1 1 .0 lnfrastructure<br />
Goals:<br />
Conserve water through reduced water use in existing development and designing for lower use<br />
in new development.<br />
Maintain natural surface waterways and groundwater routes.<br />
Pursue on-site stormwater retention.<br />
Maximize the number <strong>of</strong> residential units serviced by infrastructure.<br />
Facilitate the siting <strong>of</strong> new development adjacent to existing infrastructure.<br />
Limit the amount, size and impact <strong>of</strong> infrastructure (sewer services, water services, storm<br />
services, roads, solid waste and recycling, other utilities and related structures).<br />
Gontext:<br />
The topography and soil conditions within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area create<br />
significant issues for servicing and accessing, Through the Hillside Guidelines, the <strong>City</strong> limits the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> infrastructure constructed and ensures that the infrastructure constructed is as<br />
efficient as possible. This limits the amount <strong>of</strong> infrastructure the <strong>City</strong> must maintain and replace<br />
in the future. Existing infrastructure within the neighbourhood plan area includes both municipal<br />
and private utility services for water, sewer and storm. The northwestern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area<br />
is curren¡y serviced by a private water and sewer utilities and the southern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan<br />
area is serviced by public services.<br />
Suoportinq Policies:<br />
11.1 Development is to follow the Hillside Guidelines during the design <strong>of</strong> all new<br />
infrastructure.<br />
11.2 Encourage water conservation in existing and new development.<br />
11.3 Ensure efficient use <strong>of</strong> infrastructure by siting new development adjacent to existing<br />
infrastructure.<br />
j1.4 Wherever site conditions will allow, on-site storm water retention will be required.<br />
11.S Ensure the natural pattern <strong>of</strong> ground and surface water is maintained wherever possible.<br />

12.0 Fire lntedace<br />
Goals:<br />
Reduce the firehazard risk within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area'<br />
Context:<br />
All lands within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area<br />
are identified as being within a wild land fire protection and<br />
interface area. As the plan area includes significant components<br />
<strong>of</strong> forest and grasslands, the risk <strong>of</strong> wild land fire in the plan area<br />
is high. In order to reduce the risk to the residents <strong>of</strong> wild land<br />
fire moving from the natural areas to developed areas, new<br />
development is required to adhere to the policies in section 19 -<br />
Fire lnterface, <strong>of</strong> the OCP 2008.<br />
The steep slopes and limited access in the neighbourhood plan<br />
area will add to the difficulties in controlling wild land fire. The<br />
principle <strong>of</strong> protection through prevention applies as a best<br />
practice for the neighbourhood plan area.<br />

PORTION OF LOT A, PLAN KAP628O7, DISTRICT LOT 298, O.D.Y.D.<br />
(TAVTSTOCK ROAD)<br />

Residential Multi-Family in order to construct a multi-family development on a portion <strong>of</strong> Lot<br />
A, Plan K4P62807, District Lot 298, O.D.Y.D. (Tavistock Road) subject to the following<br />
conditions:<br />
a) The adoption <strong>of</strong> the new Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan including a revision<br />
to the designation for the subject portion <strong>of</strong> the property from Community<br />
Commercial to Hillside Residential Multi-Family designation;<br />

ALTERNATIVES & IMPLIGATIONS :<br />
1. Council may deny the rezoning <strong>of</strong> Lot A, Plan KAP628O7, District Lot 298, O.D.Y.D.<br />
(Tavistock Road) from C6 - Village Commercial to HR2 - Hillside Residential Multi-<br />
Family. The property owner would then be required to either not pursue further<br />

ANALYSIS:<br />

2. Council may support the rezoning <strong>of</strong> the subject property subject to conditions that vary<br />
from those recommended by staff.<br />
A. Gommittee/Board Recommendations:<br />
The Advisory Planning Board (APB) at their January 12,2010 meeting passed the<br />
following resolution:<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
'THAT the Advisory Planning Board recommends Council support the<br />
application submitted by Tavistock Properties Ltd. for a portion <strong>of</strong> Lot A,<br />
Plan Kap628O7, D.L. 298, ODYD, (Tavistock Road) in order to rezone the<br />
subject property from C6 - Village Commercial to HR 2 - Hillside<br />
Residential Multi-Family for the purpose <strong>of</strong> construction a multi family<br />
development, as presented, subject to the approval <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista plan<br />
by Council."<br />
Staff support the rezoning application for the following reasons:<br />
a) The proposed Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan designation for the subject<br />
property is Hillside Residential Multi-Family. The proposed rezoning to HR2 -<br />
Hillside Residential Multi-Family would conform to the proposed Neighbourhood<br />
Plan.<br />
b) The development <strong>of</strong> the property is subject to the Hillside Guidelines and<br />
Environmental Management Area Strategy. The proposed development area<br />
meets the requirements <strong>of</strong> the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental<br />
Management Area Strategy. Both the Hillside Guidelines and the Environmental<br />
Management Area Strategy requirements would also apply during subdivision<br />
application review, and would include a review <strong>of</strong> detailed habitat reporting,<br />
infrastructure and site grading plans,<br />
c) ln order to ensure the development area is clearly identified and to ensure areas<br />
not designated for development are adequately protected, the owner is to register<br />
a covenant that delineates areas for development from those that are to remain<br />
undisturbed.<br />
d) A development agreement for the upgrades to Tronson Road and Tavistock Road<br />
would be required. The development agreement may also include upgrades to<br />
services. Additional engineering design and review would be required in order to<br />
determine if service upgrades are required'<br />
e) The proposed development does not include surface parking. With the exception <strong>of</strong><br />
three visitor parking stalls, all <strong>of</strong> the development parking has been located<br />
beneath the buildings.<br />

SUBMITTED BY: Rob Miles, Planning Assistant DATE: February 12,2010<br />
FILE: 6520-22<br />
SUBJECT: TOURIST COMMERCIAL WATERFRONT NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN<br />
PURPOSE:<br />
To review proposed revisions to the Tourist Commercial Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan<br />
and authorize staff to consult with the public on the proposed revisions.<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
THAT Council endorse the revisions to the Tourist Commercial Waterfront<br />
Neighbourhood Plan, as proposed in the staff report dated February 12,2010, for the<br />
purposes <strong>of</strong> public consultation.<br />
AND FURTHER, that Council provide staff with its preferred option for the use <strong>of</strong> the<br />
site designated on the Land Use Map as "To Be Determined," located on a portion <strong>of</strong><br />
7000 Cqmmins Road (Lot 2, Plan K4P58651, D.L. 62, ODYD). The three options to<br />
consider are:<br />
1. Refurbish the clubhouse and utilize the site as a community centre to provide<br />
space for communitY events.<br />
Z. tiesignate the land as Residential - Low Density and sell the land for<br />
develoPment PurPoses.<br />
3. Make the site available for a land transaction with a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it or service club.<br />
ALTERNATIVES & IMPLIGATIONS :<br />
1. Council may choose to not endorse the draft neighbourhood plan as presented and<br />
request changes be made prior to endorsement for the purposes <strong>of</strong> consultation.<br />
2. Council may choose to include some or all <strong>of</strong> the three options for the "To Be<br />
Determined" site in the public consultation process.<br />
ANALYSIS:<br />
A. CommitteefBoardRecommendations:<br />
The Advisory Planning Board (APB) will provide a resolution on their February 23,<br />
ZOIO meeting. This reJolution will be provided as part <strong>of</strong> the report outlining the results<br />
<strong>of</strong> the public consultation process'<br />
181
-2-<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
The Tourist Commercial Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan was adopted in 2003,<br />
creating a vision for <strong>Vernon</strong>'s Okanagan Lake waterfront. Since the adoption <strong>of</strong> that<br />
plan, tñere have been a number <strong>of</strong> proposed changes to its elements, including<br />
alterations to the proposed road nehruork and amendments to the land use<br />
designations.<br />
Due to the number <strong>of</strong> proposed changes, Council, at its Regular Meeting <strong>of</strong> February<br />
13,2006, authorized staff to undertaÈe a comprehensive plan update. However, this<br />
update was suspended to allow for the adoption <strong>of</strong> the new Official Community Plan in<br />
2008 and for the design <strong>of</strong> the enhancement <strong>of</strong> the wetlands area'<br />
The Official Community Plan was adopted in 2008 and the wetlands design was<br />
completed in 2009. Coúncil, at its Regular Meeting <strong>of</strong> June 22,2009, authorized staff<br />
to proceed with the update <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan.<br />
A draft plan has been prepared for Council's consideration and endorsement for the<br />
purposes <strong>of</strong> public consultation (see Attachment 1).<br />
Plan Overview<br />
The Tourist Commercial Waterfront Plan area was designated as a neighbourhood<br />
centre in the OCP 2008. With this designation, the name <strong>of</strong> the plan is proposed to<br />
change from "Tourist Commercial Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan" to "Waterfront<br />
Neighbourhood Centre Plan'"<br />
The boundaries <strong>of</strong> the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan are proposed to be<br />
expanded to include the Okanagan Landing Elementary School, the Okanagan<br />
tanOing Volunteer Fire Departmenl Hall and a number <strong>of</strong> properties currently zoned<br />
C6 Villãge Commercial, R5 Four-Plex Residential and R2 Large Lot Residential. The<br />
inclusioñ <strong>of</strong> these properties would allow the plan to address the role <strong>of</strong> these<br />
properties in the overall development <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood.<br />
Neighbourhood centres are intended to develop into compact, complete<br />
neigìhbourhoods that bring services and employment closer to where people live. The<br />
draft plan proposes to reduce the area designated for tourist commercial development<br />
and instead proposes a mix <strong>of</strong> uses that would create a complete neighbourhood for<br />
permanent rèsidents. This change in designation provides opportunities to combine<br />
residential and tourism development.<br />
Many areas that were formerly designated for tourist commercial uses would be<br />
assigned new designations. A mixed use commercial core would provide comme.rcial<br />
uses located primalif at street level along Okanagan Landing Road and Lakeshore<br />
Road with residential development above. This mixed use core would be surrounded<br />
by areas designated to allow for the development <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> housing types<br />
including tourist apartment development.<br />
182
3-<br />
A new public park along the southwest section <strong>of</strong> Lakeshore Road is proposed as part<br />
<strong>of</strong> this plan to provide residents and visitors increased access to Okanagan Lake. The<br />
Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan owns many <strong>of</strong> the properties required for this<br />
park, and three parcels are planned to be purchased as they become available. This<br />
new park would provide open park space and form a hub for a network <strong>of</strong> sidewalks,<br />
pathways and trails throughout the neighbourhood. The pathway along the lakeshore,<br />
which was identified in the 2003 Tourist Commercial Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan,<br />
is included in this plan as part <strong>of</strong> the network.<br />
A community garden site adjacent to the Lakers Clubhouse, and on the same <strong>City</strong>owned<br />
property, is included as part <strong>of</strong> this plan. This community garden would provide<br />
residents who may not have access to yard space <strong>of</strong> their own with a plot to grow a<br />
garden, which helps to provide local food and opportunities for interaction among<br />
residents.<br />
The existing Lakers Clubhouse is currently not in use. The plan has designated the<br />
site as "To Be Determined" and requires further direction from Council. Various<br />
options were explored, but due to the proximity to the airport and accompanying<br />
height restrictions, as well as the existing single and two family development nearby,<br />
there are limited options. The options to consider are as follows:<br />
1. Use the site as a community centre to provide space available to rent for<br />
community events. This would require renovations to the existing building and<br />
ongoing maintenance and administration costs.<br />
2. Designate the lands as Residential - Low Density and sell the site for<br />
development purposes.<br />
3. Explore opportunities to make the site available to a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it or service<br />
organization as part <strong>of</strong> a land transaction.<br />
Council may provide direction as to which <strong>of</strong> the options it prefers,<br />
consideration <strong>of</strong> the costs associated with the community centre option.<br />
with due<br />
The plan<br />
would be amended in accordance with whichever option Council wishes to pursue in<br />
advance <strong>of</strong> public consultation. Alternatively, Council may elect that some or all <strong>of</strong> the<br />
options be included in the public consultation process.<br />
The compleled Watertront Development Stormwater Wetland Design is incorporated<br />
into the draft plan. The wetland design addresses outstanding requirements to<br />
conserve and enhance this ecosystem while accommodating stormwater management<br />
through the area.<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Creek and the surrounding ponds provide surface water to the north end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Arm <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake and habitat for a number <strong>of</strong> species, some <strong>of</strong> which<br />
are classified as threatened. These lands would be preserved as sensitive habitat.<br />
183
4-<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the properties in the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre are impacted by<br />
airpórt safety height restrictions. The proposed expansion <strong>of</strong> the runway towards<br />
Okanagan Lake has been taken into account in the preparation <strong>of</strong> the plan. The height<br />
restrictions associated with the runway expansion has impacted the development<br />
potential for some <strong>of</strong> the plan area. The increased noise <strong>of</strong> lower airplanes could also<br />
negatively impact the neighbourhood centre's livability and its appeal as a destination.<br />
Thè Airport Master Plan will be reviewed this year and options for the runway<br />
expansion will be explored that minimize the impact on the Waterfront Neighbourhood<br />

Proposed Consultation Process<br />

1.0 Plan Overview<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong>'s Waterfront plays many roles in the<br />
community. Historically, it was a centre for<br />
the movement <strong>of</strong> goods and people to and<br />
from the Okanagan Valley. lt has a role to<br />
provide environmental health <strong>of</strong> Okanagan<br />
Lake. The area contains several wetlands,<br />
sensitive habitats and <strong>Vernon</strong> Creek, which<br />
drain into the lake and impacts water<br />
quality. lt plays a recreational role both for<br />
residents and visitors. The Waterfront is an<br />
amenity <strong>of</strong> immeasurable value to <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
residents.<br />
Today, with population growth in <strong>Vernon</strong>,<br />
there is an interest in the development <strong>of</strong> a<br />
neighbourhood centre along the Waterfront.<br />
How tn¡s development will take place has be<br />
There is a clear public interest in securing a<br />

There is an opportunity to plan for the Waterfront in a way that increases public enjoyment <strong>of</strong><br />
the lake while creaiiné a c'ompact neighbourhood that meets the needs <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> residents'<br />
This plan proposes tnãt ttre Waterfron-t develop as a 'neighbour,lroo-d centre" as identified in<br />
<strong>of</strong>ficial community plan 2009. According to section 7.0 <strong>of</strong> ocP 2008, neighbourhood centres<br />
are intended to be medium density, mixeã use centres with commercial uses that are suitable to<br />

high degree <strong>of</strong> cycling faciliiies and be pedestrian-oriented in design. They are intended to be<br />
niõnlV in-tegrated withlheir surrounding communities to promote easy access'<br />
This plan provides a framework for future development <strong>of</strong> the Waterfront Neighbourhood<br />
Centre. The primary features <strong>of</strong> this plan are:<br />
o The creation <strong>of</strong> a mixed use core area, with commercial uses on the bottom floors and<br />
residential uses above;<br />
. The design <strong>of</strong> streets for the pedestrian first, followed by bicycles, transit and<br />
automobiles;<br />
¡ A mix <strong>of</strong> housing types, ranging from single detached homes to townhomes and<br />
apartment housing;<br />

2.0 Neighbourhood Vision and Goals<br />
2.1 Neighbourhood Vision<br />
The vision for the Waterfront Neighbourhood ì<br />
Centre is guided by the community's interest in<br />
access to the lake and the creation <strong>of</strong> a vibrant,<br />
year round neighbourhood centre to serve both<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> residents and visitors. The Waterfront<br />
Neighbourhood Centre is intended to be a place<br />
which:<br />
. Caters to residents and visitors through a<br />
mix <strong>of</strong> compatible land uses that provide<br />
opportunities for living, commerce,<br />
community services, recreation and tourism;<br />
.'Ê. -<br />
o Provides a variety <strong>of</strong> housing opportunities;<br />
. ls characterized by pedestrian-oriented shopping streets;<br />
¡ Provides public access to <strong>Vernon</strong>'s lakeshore;<br />
. provides opportunities for public interaction in a variety <strong>of</strong> locations, including parks and<br />
community facilities;<br />
o Enables residents and visitors to walk, bicycle and take transit to their destinations;<br />
. ls a safe place for children to walk or ride bicycles to and from school;<br />
o Maintains the quality <strong>of</strong> the water in Okanagan Lake by enhancing localwetlands;<br />
. Preserves sensitive habitat for threatened species; and<br />
. ls integrated with surrounding neighbourhoods'<br />

2.2 Goals<br />
To achieve this vision, the waterfront Neighbourhood centre Plan has the following goals:<br />
lncrease Public Access to Okanagan Lake<br />
The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan increases<br />
the ways that the public can access and enjoy<br />
Okanagän Lake. The Plan recommends an increase in<br />
accesJpoints to a public lakeshore pathway and a new<br />
public park on the waterfront.<br />
Create EnioYable Public SPaces<br />
Developméni <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>'s Waterfront represents an<br />
opportúnity to create more public spaces that are<br />
enjoyabte<br />
- for residents and visitors alike' The<br />
Wåtérfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan proposes to<br />
create a new pãrk as well as design guidelines for new<br />
development and attractive streetscapes to contribute<br />
positivåly to the creation <strong>of</strong> a place that people want to<br />
spend time.<br />
Maintain and Enhance Ecosystem Services<br />
inis ptan recognizes the need to maintain ecological<br />
pro."is"t anã to maintain sensitive habitat for<br />
inreateneo species while protecting the integrity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Creek. Existing wetland habitat along<br />
Okanagan Landing Road that leads to Okanagan Lake<br />
should be protecied and enhanced as development<br />
proceeOs. These ecosystems would also provide<br />
residents with the opportunity to learn more about the<br />
functions <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>;s natural ecosystems in a public<br />
place.<br />
Create a Complete Year-Round Neighbourhood for<br />
Locals and Tourists<br />
The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan proposes<br />
to create a complete neighbourhood that is active yearround<br />
and meets the néeds <strong>of</strong> residents and tourists.<br />
To create a complete neighbourhood, a variety <strong>of</strong><br />
hóusing is needed to meet the demand for a range <strong>of</strong><br />
nousenä¡O and family types. Population density<br />
resulting from the increased housing options will help to<br />
support businesses in the neighbourhood centre yearround.<br />

3.0 History<br />
The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre is<br />
located within the Okanagan Landing<br />
neighbourhood, which is named for its historic<br />
:<br />
rolã in passenger and goods transpoil. Prior<br />
i<br />
to the construction <strong>of</strong> road networks '<br />
throughout the Okanagan Valley, the<br />
Okanãgan Landing was the site from which<br />
goods were shipped up and down Okanagan<br />
Lake. The Landing was the site for the<br />
terminus <strong>of</strong> a spur line through <strong>Vernon</strong> that<br />
connected to the Canadian Pacific Railway<br />
line. This allowed the shipment <strong>of</strong> goods from<br />
the Okanagan Valley to the rest <strong>of</strong> Canada<br />
and the world.<br />
Photo courtesy <strong>of</strong> the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Museum and Archives'<br />
Passenger service allowed people to travel<br />
from <strong>Vernon</strong> to other locations along<br />
Okanagan Lake. This seruice ended in 1936,<br />
with fréight service ending in the 1960s. At<br />
this time, more residential development was<br />
taking place in the Landing and the population<br />
qrew from 150 in 1947 to approximately 5'000<br />
r 2OOO.1 The Okanagan Landing was<br />
annexed into the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> in 1993. At<br />
the time <strong>of</strong> annexation, the area had evolved<br />
into a residential community, including a local<br />
school and volunteer fire department.<br />

On January 27, 2003, <strong>Vernon</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council<br />
adopted the Tourist Commercial Watedront<br />
Plan. This plan proposed a mixed-use Photo courtesy <strong>of</strong> the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Museum and Archives'<br />
neighbourhood that acted primarily as a tourist<br />
destination. subsequénily,'some t'ourist commercial development has taken place, but the buildóui<br />
propo.ed by thif plan has yet to be rearized, with most <strong>of</strong> the properties vacant or waiting for<br />
development.<br />
since the adoption <strong>of</strong> the plan in 2003, there have been a number <strong>of</strong> proposed changes to the<br />
pt"n'r policies, including aiterations to the proposed road.network<br />
lse designations. Due to the number <strong>of</strong> proposed changes,<br />
undertakã a comprehensive plan update in 2006. However, this up<br />

On October 14,2008, Council adopted <strong>Vernon</strong>'s new Official Community Plan (OCP 2008)' The<br />
OCp designated a nétwork <strong>of</strong> neighbourhood centres which are envisioned as medium density,<br />
mixed use centres that otfer commercial services to surrounding residents and act as hubs for<br />
public transportation and cycling infrastructure. This new designation required that the Tourist<br />
bommerciaiWaterfront Neiôhbo;urhood Plan be revisited to ensure that it is consistent with this<br />
neighbourhood centre designation and the Guiding Principles <strong>of</strong> OCP 2008'<br />
A detailed design for the enhancement <strong>of</strong> the wetlands area was completed in 2009. With the<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> tÑs design, work could begin on the update to the Tourist CommercialWaterfront<br />

have ensured the steady input <strong>of</strong> clean' clear<br />
water to Okanagan Lake, attracted<br />
recreational and agricultural activity, provided<br />
habitat for kokanee, painted turtles, spadefoot<br />
toads, migratory and water birds, and will<br />
continue to provide this function as <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
grows if urban development in the area is<br />
óarefully managed. The wetland will only<br />

5.1 Mixed Use Gore<br />
The Mixed Use Core would provide residents and<br />
visitors with a neighbourhood centre that <strong>of</strong>fers a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> shops, restaurants, services, housing,<br />
employment and accommodation opportunities. This<br />
core area <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood centre would provide<br />
for all <strong>of</strong> these uses in a mixed, compact, walkable<br />
format, with commercial uses primarily at street level<br />
and residential uses above. See Figure 2.<br />
R¡srDË.rî¿L<br />
The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre would be<br />
compact to use land more efficiently, to provide a<br />
resident population to support local business and to<br />
increase the viability <strong>of</strong> services like public transit.<br />
Mixing residential uses with commercial services<br />
allows residents to walk or bicycle for their dayto-day<br />
needs. This designation provides these properties with<br />
an opportunity to develop a large supply <strong>of</strong> the<br />
residential opportunities in the Waterfront.<br />
Area A<br />
Area A is intended to have a pedestrian-oriented<br />
commercial street that <strong>of</strong>fers shops, restaurants,<br />
cafes at street level, some commercial or residential<br />
uses on the second floor, and residential units above.<br />
Lakeshore Road would redevelop into a commercial<br />
street, providing residents and visitors with a pleasant<br />
walking experience. See Figures 3 and 4.<br />
The uses supported at street level in this designation<br />
are small scale commercial uses intended to<br />
maximize the number <strong>of</strong> different business along the<br />
street, creating a more interesting walkable urban<br />
area. Office uses on the second floor would provide<br />
opportunities for local services at the neighbourhood<br />
level.<br />
Maximum building heights are restricted to between<br />
two to ten storeys due to airport runway safety<br />
requirements. These restrictions ease towards the<br />
south end <strong>of</strong> Lakeshore Drive, where higher buildings<br />
would be permitted.<br />

The properties identified for mixed use development are adjacent to two major roads, both <strong>of</strong><br />
whicñ hãve existing or proposed transit service. Cycling and recreational trails are in close<br />
proximity and would be within easy walking distance <strong>of</strong> commercial services.<br />
The Mixed Use Core is divided into four areas that would each have their own distinct character<br />
and policies.<br />

5.5 Parks and Open Space<br />
Two distinct parks spaces would characterize the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre: Marshall<br />
Field and a new paik, tentatively refened to as the Lakeshore Neighbourhood Park. Both <strong>of</strong><br />
these parks would be supplemented by a network <strong>of</strong> pathways and trails, including those that<br />
follow ihe lakeshore and wetland areas. Marshall Field would continue to provide facilities for<br />
organized sports and for large sporting events.<br />
The Lakeshore Neighbourhood Park is envisioned as a centre for community interaction in the<br />
Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre. The uses within the park would be designed to maximize the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> activity that takes place in the park at different times <strong>of</strong> the day and throughout the<br />
year. These yeai-round uses aim to keep residents and tourists alike coming to the Waterfront<br />
Ñeighbourhood Centre, making businesses more viable and the park itself a safer, more vibrant<br />
ptaãe to be. The Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies the subject<br />
þroperties as valuable for waterfront park use and some <strong>of</strong> these properties are in Regional<br />
District ownershiP.<br />
The creation <strong>of</strong> a neighbourhood park along the Waterfront would allow more local residents to<br />
enjoy the lakeshore.lt would provide a large central area for residents to meet and socialize,<br />
hold-special events or simply enjoy the views <strong>of</strong> the lake. This neighbourhood park would foster<br />
greater community interaction, promote health and well being and act as a hub for the network<br />
<strong>of</strong> trails going to and from the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre.<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the goals <strong>of</strong> the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan is to increase access to<br />
Okanagan Lake and to connect parks both within the Plan Area and in the <strong>City</strong>. Polices in the<br />
Land U1e Designation and Transportation Demand Management sections <strong>of</strong> this Plan speak to<br />
the creation <strong>of</strong>ã public pathway along the lakeshore. The Marshall Wetlands would include a<br />
pathway from Okanagan Landing Road to the lake, Marshall Field provides a network <strong>of</strong><br />
þathways, and Okanàgan Landing Road would have a multi-use trail that connects the<br />
Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre to Paddlewheel Park in the west and the <strong>City</strong> Centre in the<br />
east, See Map 4.<br />
lncreased access to the lake for non-motorized watercraft, such as canoes or kayaks, has also<br />
been identified as a desirable park amenity for Okanagan Lake. Access to Okanagan Lake for<br />
such a use would be accommodated within the Neighbourhood Centre.<br />
A public pier or wharf would be a valuable amenity and should be explored'<br />
Policies<br />
1. All properties in this designation are subject to a Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR)<br />
assessment to determine the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Act (SPEA) setback<br />
from the Okanagan Lakeshore and MarshallWetland'<br />
Z. In partnership with the Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan, property owners, and the<br />
Ribbons <strong>of</strong> ôreen Trails Society, complete the trail and pathway network as indicated in<br />
Map 4.<br />
3. Provide launch space for non-motorized watercraft.<br />

5.6 Habitat Protection<br />
The Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre is bounded on three sides by significant ecosystem<br />
features, <strong>Vernon</strong> Creek, Okanagan Lake and the wetland.<br />
Each <strong>of</strong> these ecosystem features provide opportunities to conserve the existing ecosystem<br />
health <strong>of</strong> the north end <strong>of</strong> the lake and to use the ecosystem services they provide to ensure<br />
ongoing lake health, water quality for recreation and habitat for the rare and protected species.<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Creek and the wetland drain <strong>Vernon</strong> and BX creeks. Both creeks receive stormwater<br />
throughout <strong>Vernon</strong>, and provide the surface sources <strong>of</strong> the headwaters <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake. The<br />
heaftñ and viability <strong>of</strong> these systems provide the first significant contributions <strong>of</strong> safe, clean,<br />
healthy water ¡ntó tne lake that defines the Okanagan. The protection, enhancement and<br />
support <strong>of</strong> these systems both within the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre, and throughout the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> the city, deiermine the ongoing health and viability <strong>of</strong> our end <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake. Should<br />
the quality ót ttre water and ecosystems in the lake be impacted, the appeal <strong>of</strong> this<br />
neigh'bourÍrood as well as one <strong>of</strong> the most significant features <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> will be lost.<br />
The waterfront neighbourhood area has been gradually filled in for the development <strong>of</strong><br />
neighbourhood space, playing fields and waterfront access. <strong>Vernon</strong> Creek and the wetland<br />
wni-cn borders the east boúndãry <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood provide both surface water sources for<br />
the north end <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Vernon</strong> Arm <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake, and viable fish habitat for Kokanee and<br />
habitat for painted turtles, spadefoot toads, migratory birds and many other species'<br />
These species are also found in the ponds which remain following the closure <strong>of</strong> the Lakers Golf<br />
Club. While these species are not considered to be economic species, each contributes to the<br />
health <strong>of</strong> area ecosystems and regional identity. The remaining ecosystem features in this area<br />
are the remnants <strong>of</strong> what has otherwise been a flood plain and wetland area. The remaining<br />
habitat areas are the last significant habitat areas for these species at the north end <strong>of</strong><br />
Okanagan Lake and need to be conserved, enhanced and celebrated.<br />

5.7 Marshall Wetlands<br />
The weilands which line the south side <strong>of</strong> Marshall Fields provide habitat for several protected<br />
and threatened species including spadefoot toads and painted turtles' These wetlands are<br />
àrong the few remaining, health-y wetland systems in <strong>Vernon</strong>. This rare ecosystem provides<br />
significant stormwater mãnagement capacity-to the waterfront area and helps to protect the<br />
hãafth <strong>of</strong> the n<strong>of</strong>th end <strong>of</strong> Okànagan Lake while maintaining sensitive habitat.<br />
ln 200g, the <strong>City</strong> undertook the creation <strong>of</strong> a detailed design for the wetlands which combined<br />
the need for ongoing stormwater management with the_enhancement and conservation <strong>of</strong> the<br />
we¡ands. The detaied design procesJinvolved the atfected property owners, <strong>City</strong> technical<br />
staff and representatives frõm both the Ministry <strong>of</strong> Environment (MoE) and Fisheries and<br />
Oceans Canada (DFO). The detailed design pr )cess was completed in the spring <strong>of</strong> 2009, with<br />
ãgreement in prinàiple from the senior levels òf government, as well as preliminary direction and<br />
iniut on the' reqúired environmental permittìng requirements necessary at the point <strong>of</strong><br />

7.0 Infrastructure<br />
Expansion <strong>of</strong> infrastructure will be required to accommodate the development proposed aspart<br />
<strong>of</strong> the land use plan. Map 7 illustrates the utility servicing concept for the Waterfront<br />
Neighbourhood Centre Plan.<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong> Creek and the wetland are significant features in the <strong>Vernon</strong> stormwater management<br />
system. Each receive stormwater from large areas <strong>of</strong> the city and through their natural<br />
fúnctions, provide stormwater quality improvement and space for large volumes <strong>of</strong> rain and<br />
run<strong>of</strong>f water to be detained for siow, season long release into Okanagan Lake without the need<br />
for pipes, mechanical systems or expensive annual maintenance costs. This ecosystem service<br />
is invaluable and needs to be protected.<br />
Stormwater from run<strong>of</strong>f in the waterfront neighbourhood occurs near the soil surface. This area<br />
is unique in its flat landscape, which sits near the high water mark <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake. Due to<br />
the high water table and continuous subsurface water connectivity, catchbasins and drainage<br />
pipes ãre not effective mechanisms for draining rain and flood water away from buildings and<br />
recreation spaces. As the area does not provide sufficient difference in land heights to provide<br />
enough gravity potential for drainage to be effective, other techniques would need to be<br />
implemented.<br />
Surface stormwater management can be managed in several ways. Drainage <strong>of</strong> surface water<br />
to the weland and land neãr <strong>Vernon</strong> Creek provide receiving ereas for stormwater. Drainage to<br />
these features can be provided on the surface through the use <strong>of</strong> bioswales, landscaped buffers<br />
and riparian setback areas. Stormwater quality improvements run<strong>of</strong>f volume control may be<br />
providäd through the existing ecosystems, including the additional volumes that the<br />
äevelopment <strong>of</strong>ihe immediate ñeighbourhood ¿ rea will contribute to these systems. The use <strong>of</strong><br />
bioswâles along park spaces and those portions <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood area which are identified<br />
for habitat conservation will also provide an aesthetic butfer between streets, commercial and<br />
residential areas and the natural features <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood.<br />
Policies<br />
1. lnfrastructure will be constructed as<br />
per Map 7.<br />
2.<br />
3.<br />
Encourage water conservation in<br />
existing and new develoPment.<br />
Wherever site conditions will allow,<br />
on-site storm water management will<br />
be required. This includes stormwater<br />
retention along public streets.<br />
4. Ensure that the pre-development<br />
drainage is maintained whenever<br />
possible.<br />

apply to development in the Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre Plan:<br />
1. proposed sites for new development shall be <strong>of</strong> a configuration that does not result in<br />
remainders <strong>of</strong> land that would be difficult to develop for the uses described in Section 5.<br />
Z. Where a Development Permit proposes a structure over three storeys or 10.5m, a building<br />

THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF VERNON<br />
REPORT/RECOMMEN DATION TO COUNCIL<br />
SUBMITTED BY: Dale Rintoul, Planner DATE: February 2,2010<br />
FILE: 3360-30<br />
SUBJECT: ZONING BYLAW #5000 - REVIEW OF STRATA RENTAL ACCOMMODATION,<br />
HOTEL AND PERMANENT RES¡DENCY PROVISIONS<br />
PURPOSE:<br />
Council wishes to review the current provisions in the tourist and resort commercial zones<br />
in the Zoning Bylaw that set a ratio between the amount <strong>of</strong> permanent residency units to<br />
those used as rental units with terms not to exceed 180 days per tenant per year.<br />
Properties termed by B.C. Assessment Authority as "strata accommodation properties" are<br />
included in this review.<br />
RECOMMENDATION:<br />
THAT Council support an amendment to Zoning Bylaw #5000 to delete the permanent<br />
residency and tourist accommodation ratio <strong>of</strong> 30o/ol70o/o for "apartment housing, tourist" in<br />
order to allow the ratio to fluctuate based upon market conditions.<br />
AND FURTHER, that Council support an amendment to Zoning Bylaw #5000 to delete the<br />
maximum 180 day per tenant per year provision in the definitions for "apaftment housing,<br />
tourist", "row housing, tourist", "four-plex, tourist housing", "semi-detached, tourist housing"<br />
"cottages, tourist" and "three-plex, tourist housing" to allow for the term <strong>of</strong> occupancy to be<br />
based upon market conditions.<br />
AND FURTHER, that Council authorize the discharge <strong>of</strong> any existing covenants that limit<br />
occupancy use to the 30% and 70o/o provision and/or to the 180 day per tenant per year<br />
provision provided the residential development cost charge rate is paid for the strata lot that<br />
the discharge applies to.<br />
AND FURTHER, that Council support the inclusion <strong>of</strong> a definition for "single detached<br />
housing, tourist" into Zoning Bylaw #5000 and to include that use into the list <strong>of</strong> Primary<br />
Uses <strong>of</strong> the RTC-Resort Commercial zone so the existing 41 cottages (Strata Plan<br />
KAS2208) at Predator Ridge are legally conforming rather than remaining legally nonconforming<br />
and to allow for the single detached building type within tourist and resort<br />
oriented projects.<br />
AND FURTHER, that Council support the deletion <strong>of</strong> the maximum 240 days length <strong>of</strong> stay<br />
provision in the Zoning Bylaw #5000 definitions for "hotel" and "motel" in order to allow the<br />
stay durations to be based upon market conditions.<br />
22I
-z- ^<br />
AND FURTHER, that the proposed amendment bylaw and this report be referred for<br />
comment to the association that covers tourist accommodation operations in <strong>Vernon</strong> and<br />
the strata corporations and developers for the strata projects which have the short term<br />
rental and permanent residency provisions.<br />
ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS:<br />
1. Council may not support any <strong>of</strong> the proposed amendments to the occupancy use ratio and<br />
occupancy duration periods for short term accommodation and full time residency<br />
provisions in the tourist commercial and resort commercial zones. The 30o/o[70o/o<br />
occupancy ratio will remain forthe "apartment housing, tourist" use and the maximum 180<br />
day per ienant per year limitation will remain for tourist accommodation units in an<br />
"aþartment housing, tourist" project and for all units in "row housing, tourist", "four-plex,<br />
tourist housing", "semi-detached, tourist housing" and "cottages, tourist" projects.<br />
2. Council may support the discharge <strong>of</strong> the occupancy covenants without the development<br />
cost charge (O.C.C.) top-up amount having to be paid prior to discharge approval. That<br />
would mean that open space D.C.C.'s and the higher rate <strong>of</strong> other D.C.C.'s would not be<br />
collected for a unit that can be used as a permanent residence. A lower rate was collected<br />
when the unit was used for commercial purposes because the owner was considered to<br />
live permanently in a unit that paid the higher residential D.C.C. rate.<br />
3. Council may not support the proposal deletion <strong>of</strong> the maximum 240 day stay provision for<br />
"hotels" and "motels".<br />
ANALYSIS:<br />
A. ns:<br />
At its meeting <strong>of</strong> January 26,2010, the Advisory Planning Board reviewed the draft<br />
report and adopted a resolution supporting the recommendations.<br />
B. Rationale:<br />
1. On several occasions, the <strong>City</strong> has received requests to delete lhe 300/0170%<br />
occupancy use and 180 day per tenant per year occupancy term limitations related<br />
to tourist oriented projects on lands with tourist commercial or resort commercial<br />
zoning. ln light <strong>of</strong> these requests and as part <strong>of</strong> the current review <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan, <strong>City</strong> Council has directed staff to provide a review<br />
with recommendations regarding this matter.<br />
2. The following analysis demonstrates that the deletíon <strong>of</strong> the occupancy use ratio<br />
and occupancy term provisions for all the various tourist accommodation facilities<br />
would make the <strong>City</strong>'s provisions consistent with other tourist oriented<br />
communities. lt would allow for similar rental ownership and use opportunities that<br />
are found at Silver Star Resort. lt would allow for opportunities to have residents<br />
year round in and adjacent to the commercial properties. Enforcement <strong>of</strong> the<br />
222
3-<br />
provisions are difficult and complex. Applicable <strong>City</strong> taxes would be collected in<br />
accordance with the applicable land use category assigned by the B'C'<br />
Assessment Authority (as per Figure 1 which outlines their strata accommodation<br />
property declaration requirements).<br />
3. A brief overview is provided <strong>of</strong> the events that have led to the current status <strong>of</strong> the<br />
occupancy ratio and residency limitations, as follows.<br />
a. October 1999<br />
The occupancy restrictive covenant was registered on the titles <strong>of</strong> the 41<br />
single detached strata titled cottages at Predator Ridge. The lands on<br />
wn¡cn the cottages were developed was and continues to be zoned RTC -<br />
Resort Residential. Prior to the adoption <strong>of</strong> Zoning Bylaw #5000 in July<br />
2OO4 all RTR - Resort Residential uses were also permitted on lands zoned<br />
RTC. This is one <strong>of</strong> the "step-down" provisions that were removed when<br />
Zoning Bylaw #5000 was adoPted'<br />
Predator Ridge stated on the Building Permit application for the 41 units that<br />
they were foi tourist accommodation (short term stay - less than 180 days<br />
pei visit per year) purposes and therefore they were levied commercial<br />
development - cost charges (D.C.C.s) which were in the range <strong>of</strong><br />
approximately $3,000 - $4,000 less per cottage. The maximum 180 day<br />
occupancy covenant (with the D.C.C. top-up payment option) was<br />
registered so full time residency did not take place unless the top-up<br />
payment was received. The residential D.C.C. rate was higher than the<br />
commercial rate because it included the open space charge and slightly<br />
higher charges for other items'<br />
To date the C1y has received the D.C.C. top-up payment for only one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
strata titled cottages.<br />
b. June 2001<br />
The occupancy limitation and D.C.C. top-up provision covenant was<br />
registered'on the titles <strong>of</strong> the 17 rental accommodation units in the complex<br />
kn-own as the Falcon Point Villas (272 Chicopee Road) at Predator Ridge'<br />
No D.C.C. top-up fees have been processed to-date for this complex.<br />
c. May 2004<br />
The occupancy limitation is registered on the titles <strong>of</strong> the five units in the<br />
complex known as Paddlewheel Villas (7665 Okanagan Landing Road -<br />
adjacent to the Blue Heron Pub and marina). There are no D.C.C. top-up<br />
and additional residential use provisions in this covenant as those are not<br />
provided for a townhouse building zoned for tourist commercial use. One <strong>of</strong><br />
the 1ve units in this complex is allowed as a permanent residence'<br />
d. July 2004<br />
The new Zoning Bylaw #5OOO is adopted which removed the RTR-Resort<br />
Residential useð from the RTC - Resort Commercial zone. This resulted in 223
-4-<br />
the 41 single detached cottages becoming legally non-conforming. lt is<br />
recommended in this report that a definition for "single detached housing,<br />
tourist" be prepared and inserted into the RTC and C10 zones to make the<br />
cottage complex legally conforming. This will also allow for this form <strong>of</strong><br />
housing type on resort commercial and tourist commercial zoned lands.<br />
The new Zoning Bylaw created the following new housing and<br />
accommodation types which limited occupancy uses and occupancy<br />
duration, (please note that only the building type <strong>of</strong> "apartment housing,<br />
tourist" has the 30%n0% occupancy use provision, and that there are<br />
different occupancy duration periods for a hotel compared to the other<br />
tourist oriented accommodation uses and building types):<br />
APARTMENT HOUSING, TOURIST means any physical arrangement <strong>of</strong><br />
attached dwelling units intended to be occupied by separate households<br />
and/or transient visitors. A maximum <strong>of</strong> 30% <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> dwelling units<br />
may be used for full time residential occupancy, while a minimum <strong>of</strong> 70o/o <strong>of</strong><br />
the number <strong>of</strong> units shall be for tourist accommodation only, with a<br />
maximum stay <strong>of</strong> 180 days peryear per owner or household. A covenant<br />
shall be registered on the property title restricting occupancy within the units<br />
to be within limits <strong>of</strong> the ratio listed herein.<br />
COTTAGE, TOURIST means a single detached or attached dwelling<br />
intended for short term or seasonal use by separate households and/or<br />
transient visitors, with a maximum stay <strong>of</strong> 180 days per year per owner or<br />
household.<br />
FOUR-PLEX, TOURIST HOUSING means any physical arrangement <strong>of</strong><br />
four attached dwelling units intended to be occupied by separate<br />
households and/or visitors with a maximum stay <strong>of</strong> 180 days per year per<br />
household or transient visitor.<br />
HOTEL means a building or part there<strong>of</strong> with a common entrance lobby and<br />
shared corridors, which provides sleeping accommodation for transient<br />
visitors and may include public facilities such as food primary<br />
establishments, banquet, beverage, meeting and convention roomS,<br />
recreation facilities and personal services for the convenience <strong>of</strong> guests.<br />
The maximum length <strong>of</strong> stay is no more than 240 days'<br />
ROW HOUSING, TOURIST means any physical arrangement <strong>of</strong> row<br />
housing dwelling units intended to be occupied by separate households<br />
and/or transient visitors, with a maximum stay <strong>of</strong> 180 days per year per<br />
owner or household.<br />
SEMI-DETACHED, TOURIST HOUSING means any physical arrangement<br />
<strong>of</strong> semi-detached housing occupied by separate households and/or<br />
transient visitors, with a maximum stay <strong>of</strong> 180 days per year per owner or<br />
household.<br />
224
t -!r-<br />
THREE-PLEX, TOURIST HOUSING means three-plex housing intended to<br />
be occupied by separate households and/or transient visitors, with a<br />
maximum stay <strong>of</strong> '180 days per year per owner or household.<br />
e) - April 2005<br />
Tñe occupancy limitation and D.C.C, top-up covenant was registered on the<br />
titles <strong>of</strong> the first phase <strong>of</strong> the 85 unit Predator Ridge Lodge and Spa towers<br />
(101 Village Centre Court). The use category for this complex is defined as<br />
';apartment housing, tourist" and is therefore eligible for a maximum 30% <strong>of</strong><br />
the units for permanent residency and a minimum 700/o <strong>of</strong> the units for the<br />
short term stay (not to exceed 180 days per tenant per year). The<br />
developer <strong>of</strong> Predator Ridge also registered a covenant limiting the length <strong>of</strong><br />
stay. <strong>City</strong> staff are not familiar with the specific workings <strong>of</strong> the developer's<br />
covenant so if the <strong>City</strong> discharges the occupancy portion <strong>of</strong> their covenant, it<br />
would be up to Predator Ridge to enforce occupancy provisions if their<br />
covenant still applies at that time. There has been some indication that the<br />
developer covenant expires five years after the date <strong>of</strong> registration. lf that is<br />
the case, the covenant will expire in May 2010.<br />
The <strong>City</strong>'s covenant on the lodge units also includes the D'C.C' top-up<br />
provision. The DCC top-up amount per unit is in the range <strong>of</strong> $3,000 -<br />
$4,000 per unit.<br />
April 2006<br />
Tñe <strong>City</strong> amended its DCC Bylaw to equalize the rate for a residential unit<br />
and a tourist accommodation unit. The amendment changed the definition<br />
for a tourist accommodation so that if the individual stays in the unit,<br />
required to be there for seven or more days, then the DCC rate shall be set<br />
at the same rate as for a residential unit. The RDNO adopted a similar<br />
amendment for their two DCC charges (water and open space). After these<br />
bylaw amendments there was no reason to continue processing DCC topup<br />
covenants.<br />
s)<br />
h)<br />
July 2007<br />
The occupancy use and duration limitation covenant was registered on the<br />
tiles <strong>of</strong> the seven units in the Vista Verona complex at 7511 Brooks Lane.<br />
This was the second "apartment housing, tourist" project in the city and the<br />
3O%n0% occupancy provision was applied'<br />
December 2009 to present<br />
The occupancy use and duration limitation covenant was registered on 23 <strong>of</strong><br />
the '104 units at the Strand Lakeside Resort complex at7343 Okanagan<br />
Landing Road. This was the third "apartment housing, tourist" project in the<br />
city. ine gu¡lOing Permit application for this project was submitted and<br />
prócessed prior to the DCC Bylaw amendment adopted in April 2006 and<br />
noted above. The applicant indicated that the entire building was to be used<br />
for tourist accommodation subject to the 180 day per tenant per year<br />
225
-6-<br />
limitation. Consequently the commercial DCC rate was applied. However,<br />
the DCC top-up covenant was not registered in September 2007 when the<br />
strata plan was registered. Therefore use <strong>of</strong> the units has been limited to<br />
the 180 day rule except for 23 units which have paid the DCC top-up levy.<br />
The levy has been on average approximately $8,000 per unit'<br />
lf the 3Oo/ol7Oo/o occupancy use ratio and the 180 day occupancy duration<br />
provisions were removed from the Zoning Bylaw, and because there is no<br />
DCC top-up covenant in place for 81 <strong>of</strong> the Strand units, those units could<br />
be used as permanent residence or for short term rentals without having to<br />
pay the DCC top-up charge. This will likely cause some concern to those<br />
owners who have recently paid the top-up charge and may want a rebate<br />
which is not permitted as the funds are now locked into the various DCC<br />
reserve accounts.<br />
4.<br />
5.<br />
6.<br />
7.<br />
<strong>City</strong> taxation is levied on properties based upon the classification assigned by B'C'<br />
Asðessment Authority and the millrate established by the <strong>City</strong>. With respect to<br />
strata accommodation properties that have been outlined in the above noted<br />
projects at Predator Ridge and in the Okanagan Landing, the B.C. Assessment<br />
Authority has prepared an informative factsheet (see Figure 1). This document<br />
explains how such properties are split-classified (part Class 1 residential and part<br />
Class O business) and therefore the tax levy is composed <strong>of</strong> residential and<br />
commercial rates. An impodant point noted in the document is that if an owner<br />
fails to provide B.C. Assessment Authority with the required information related to<br />
the usäge <strong>of</strong> the unit for split classification purpose_s, the Authority will<br />
automatiõally assign the Class 6 business classification. Consequently, the <strong>City</strong><br />
will levy the commercial tax rate which is higher than the residential rate.<br />
Other forms <strong>of</strong> tourist accommodation facilities such as "hotels" and "motels" have<br />
been included in the review <strong>of</strong> occupancy term provisions. Currently a guest in a<br />
hotel or motel room cannot stay longer than 240 days per year. lf the length <strong>of</strong> stay<br />
provision in other forms <strong>of</strong> tourist accommodation such as "apartment housing,<br />
iourist" are going to be deleted and allowed to follow market demands, then such<br />
should be tñe case for "hotels" and "motels". lf the deletion is approved it would<br />
allow the guest suites with kitchens in the Suites at the Sandman lnn for example,<br />
to be useã for longer term rentals that exceed the current maximum 240 day per<br />
year for each guest.<br />
The proposed deletion <strong>of</strong> the occupancy use ratio and term provisions does not<br />
preclude developers from registering their own management rental agreement<br />
covenant (i.e. similar to that registered by Predator Ridge).<br />
For any residential zoned property where short term rental periods (i.e. less than a<br />
seven day stay) are proposed, then the appropriate OCP designation would have<br />
to be in þlaceand a rezoning to a commercial zone (i.e. RTC, C10) approved.<br />
This would also be the case where the split residential and commercial<br />
classification is assigned by B.C. Assessment Authority. The ALC also allows for<br />
short term stay (i.e. bed and breakfast) facilities on lands in the ALR'<br />
226
-7-<br />
8. A review <strong>of</strong> the Zoning Bylaw <strong>of</strong> those communities listed as benchmark<br />
communities for comparison purposes (as per Council policy) was undertaken.<br />
Osoyoos was added to this list as it contains several mixed use projects with<br />
permanent residency and short term rental provision. The comparison survey is<br />
outlined on Figure 2. Basically, none <strong>of</strong> these communities have a defined<br />
occupancy use ratio similar to <strong>Vernon</strong>'s 30% permanent residencylT}o/o short term<br />
(less than 180 days pertenant peryear). Kelowna deleted the 180 day provision<br />
several years ago because <strong>of</strong> market place demands. Pitt Meadows has a 60 day<br />
per stay per day limit in their tourist accommodation zone. Kelowna has the 240<br />
day stay provision for hotels and motels.<br />
g. The proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw have been reviewed by the <strong>City</strong>'s<br />
Economic Development Officer and Manager <strong>of</strong> Tourism Services, who have no<br />
concerns with the recommendations. They do recommend that the report and<br />
amendment bylaw be referred to the local association for tourist accommodation<br />
operators.<br />
10.The proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw support the following guiding<br />

The subject bylaw amendment proposal involves the following objectives in Council's<br />
Strategic Plan:<br />
E. Policv (Existinq/Relevance/None):<br />
1. Currently in Zoning Bylaw #5000 there is an occupancy use ratio (a maximum 30%<br />
permanent time residency units in the complex and a minimum <strong>of</strong> 70o/o tourist<br />
accommodation units in the complex) and an occupancy term provision (a<br />
maximum 180 day stay duration per tenant per year)'<br />
227
8-<br />
housing, tourist row housing, tourist four-plex housing, tourist semi-detached<br />
housing, tourist cottages and tourist three-plex housing'<br />
3. Currenly in Zoning Bylaw #5000 there is a maximum 240 day duration per guest<br />
per year for hotels and motels.<br />
4. Within resort oriented neighbourhood plans (i.e. Predator Ridge, Okanagan Hills -<br />
The Rise, and the Waterfront) there are policies that support the mixture <strong>of</strong><br />
permanent residences with tourist accommodation facilities so there are year<br />
round residents to support the businesses in the neighbourhood. The proposed<br />
amendments to the Zoning Bylaw do not contravene the related policies in the<br />
resort oriented neighbourhood plans'<br />
S. When a comparison regarding a certain issue is being undertaken between <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
and other similar s¡zèd communities, Council has adopted a policy listing<br />
benchmark communities for comparison purposes.<br />
F.<br />
Relevant Historv:<br />
On several occasions in the past real estate and development representatives have<br />
requested that Council delete the occupancy use ratio and occupancy term provision<br />
from all the tourist accommodation uses in the Zoning Bylaw.<br />
G.<br />
Aoolicant's Response:<br />
N/A<br />
H.<br />
Reasons for Bvlaw:<br />
To provide market place flexibility in the ratio <strong>of</strong> permanent residency use to short term<br />
stay use in tourist accommodation and residential mixed use developments.<br />
t.<br />
Resources:<br />
1. The proposal bylaw amendments will increase the opportunities for permanent<br />
residency on toürist and resort commercial properties. This may result in more<br />
cormeróial properties being reclassified and taxed as a split classification and<br />
taxation or "uen<br />
as a residential classification and taxation, thus lessening the<br />
commercial tax revenue received by the <strong>City</strong>. Alternatively, the flexibility the bylaw<br />
amendment allows for may generate more development which will result in more<br />
overall tax revenue.<br />
2. lf some hotel and motel rooms are used as permanent residences, it will affect the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s share <strong>of</strong> the hotel/motel room tax revenue generated.<br />

Classifying Strata Accommodation Property<br />
Introduction<br />
Historically, BC Assessment was required to place strata<br />
lots used for short-term overnight commercial<br />
accommodation in Class 6 - business and other if the<br />
strata lots were (i) part <strong>of</strong> a strata plan comprised <strong>of</strong> 20<br />
or more strata lots, (ii) rented or <strong>of</strong>fered for rent for<br />
periods <strong>of</strong> less than 7 days for the majority <strong>of</strong> the year,<br />
and (iii) substantially controlled by a single rental<br />
accommodation ma nager.<br />
A new classification methodology was brought into force<br />
in 2007 that perm¡ts "strata accommodation propefties"<br />
to be split-classified between Class 6 and Class 1 -<br />
residential to more accurately reflect the dual use <strong>of</strong><br />
these properties (i.e., personal residential and<br />
commercial rental use)'<br />
What is a "strata accommodation propetty"?<br />
A strata accommodation property (or SAP) is defined in<br />
sect¡on 19(1) <strong>of</strong> the Assessrn ent Act to mean a strata lot<br />
that is in a strata plan or contiguous strata plans<br />
comprised <strong>of</strong> 20 or more strata lots, and which is rented<br />
or <strong>of</strong>fered for rent as overnight accommodation for<br />
periods <strong>of</strong> less than 28 days for at least 2Ùo/o <strong>of</strong> the 12-<br />
month period ending June 30. If a strata accommodation<br />
property meets the additional conditions set out in B.C.<br />
Reg, 438/81 (e.g', owner's right to use), the strata<br />
accommodation property will be split-classified between<br />
Class 1 and Class 6 in accordance with the property's<br />
actual use. Only that proportion <strong>of</strong> time the strata<br />
accommodation property is actually rented on a shortterm<br />
basis will be attributed to Class 6. The remainder<br />
<strong>of</strong> time will be attributed to Class 1. In addition, up to<br />
36 days <strong>of</strong> short-term rental use will be treated as<br />
"residential use"'<br />
For example, a strata accommodation property will be<br />
split-classified according to the following formula:<br />
class l value = (1365 + 361 - BU) xV<br />
365<br />
Class 6 value = V - Class 1 value<br />
Where:<br />
BU = the number <strong>of</strong> rep<strong>of</strong>ted commercial rental days or<br />
36, whichever is greater, and<br />
V = the value <strong>of</strong> the strata accommodation property in $<br />
So a strata accommodation propefty valued at $400,000<br />
and actually rented as short-term overnight<br />
accommodat¡on for 100 days between July 1, 2008 and<br />
June 30, 2009, will be split-classified as follows on the<br />
2010 assessment roll:<br />
Class 1 value (rounded): $329,000<br />
Class 6 value (rounded): $70'100'<br />
What isn't a "strata accommodation<br />
property"?<br />
The following strata lots are not strata accommodation<br />

23A
Classifying Strata Accommodation Property<br />
property (i.e,, the legal parcel). BC Assessment will<br />
consider the use reported by any fractional owners <strong>of</strong> a<br />
strata accommodation property. Accordingly, the<br />
classification <strong>of</strong> the strata accommodation property will<br />
be affected by other fractional owners' use <strong>of</strong> that<br />
property. The ultimate class split will depend on the sum<br />
all the owners'rep<strong>of</strong>ted usage and not an individual<br />
owner's usage.<br />
What is the relevant reporting period?<br />
The relevant reporting period is July 1 - June 30 prior to<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> the assessment roll (e'9,, July 1' 2008 -<br />
June 30, 2009 for the 2010 tax Year)'<br />
What is the annual reporting deadline?<br />
The information required to determine the appropriate<br />
split classification, if any, must be reported by August 31<br />
each year. This means owners (or rental accommodation<br />
managers) will have two months from the end <strong>of</strong> the<br />
reporting period to report usage <strong>of</strong> their strata lot to BC<br />
Assessment.<br />
What if I fail to provide the required<br />
information?<br />
The strata accommodation property will be placed<br />
entirely in Class 6 on the next assessment roll if the<br />
usage information is not provided to the assessor by the<br />
deadline.<br />
What if I own multiPle strata<br />
accommodation propeÉies within a strata<br />
complex (strata Plan)?<br />
This classification methodology is intended to apply to<br />
widely-owned strata complexes' If an owner wholly owns<br />
more than 14 strata accommodation properties in a<br />
strata plan or contiguous strata plans, those strata lots<br />
will be excluded from Class 1 and will be entirely in Class<br />
6. Furthermore, if the owner is a corporation, its<br />
affiliates constitute owners for these purposes.<br />
Are there special considerations for strata lots<br />
formerly in Class 1 - residential based<br />
on the wording <strong>of</strong> B.C. Reg. 438/81 before the<br />
2OO7 amendments?<br />
Owners <strong>of</strong> strata lots which, as <strong>of</strong> October 3I,2007,<br />
met the criteria formerly set out in B'C. Reg. 438/81<br />
may continue to have their strata lots "grandfathered"<br />
entirely in Class 1 under s. 19'1 <strong>of</strong> the, ssessment<br />
Act.<br />
These strata lots will continue to be grandfathered<br />
into Class 1 in future tax years if all <strong>of</strong> the following<br />
criteria are met each Year:<br />
1. The strata lot must be entirely in Class 1 the<br />
previous tax year by virtue <strong>of</strong> meeting the<br />
grandfathering criteria.<br />
2. The strata lot must be part <strong>of</strong> a strata plan or<br />
contiguous strata plan including 20 or more strata<br />
lots.<br />
3, The strata lot must be used or available for<br />
overnig ht accommodation.<br />
4. In addition, the strata lot must meet one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
two following criteria :<br />
(a) as <strong>of</strong> June 30, it must not be available for rent<br />
for periods <strong>of</strong> less than 7 days for 500/o or more <strong>of</strong><br />
the year ending on June 30 prior to the tax year;<br />
or<br />
(b) as <strong>of</strong> October 31, it must not be controlled or<br />
managed by one or more persons who control or<br />
manage 8570 or more <strong>of</strong> the strata lots in the<br />
strata plan or contiguous strata plans'<br />
The grandfathered status will be lost if the criteria are<br />
not met in each taxation year. Once lost, if a strata lot<br />
meets the definition <strong>of</strong> strata accommodation<br />
properÇ, it will be split classified depending upon its<br />
actual use as reported by the owner or the rental<br />
accommodation manager on behalf <strong>of</strong> the owner'<br />

When the <strong>City</strong> examines major changes to policies and bylaws such as the subject<br />
occupancy teim matter, it normally rèviews the related policies and bylaws in other<br />
communities <strong>of</strong> similar size and circumstance as <strong>Vernon</strong>. Council has adopted a policy<br />
which establishes a list <strong>of</strong> benchmark communities for such comparisons. These<br />
communities are as follows: Kelowna, Penticton, Pitt Meadows, White Rock, Port<br />
Moody, Cranbrook, Campbell River, Kamloops, Chilliwack, Mission, and North<br />
Vancóuver. Osoyoos has been included in the subject comparison survey because it<br />
contains several mixed occupancy term projects with permanent residency and tourist<br />
rental provisions.<br />
Kelowna: Kelowna has two main tourist focused zones in its zoning bylaw'<br />
Both zones allow for the use "apartment hotel", which closely resembles<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong>'s tourist apartment use. Kelowna used to have a 180 day occupancy<br />
requirement similar to <strong>Vernon</strong>'s in its Zoning Bylaw t9 regulate the<br />
apärtment hotel use. The provision was removed through a text<br />
amendment. A Kelowna planner indicated their staff supported the removal<br />
because it was a very difficult provision to enforce and monitor. The<br />
amendment was includéd with a list <strong>of</strong> other amendments and was removed<br />
without much discussion. The planner has not noticed any conflicts between<br />
full time residency and tourist accommodation since removing the<br />
provision, and no itrd¡es have been done on the availability <strong>of</strong> rental<br />
accommodations in Kelowna since the change in regulation. The planner<br />
also did not know <strong>of</strong> the percentage <strong>of</strong> rental accommodations compared to<br />
full time residences in the properties affected by the change, but indicated<br />
that there was a good availability <strong>of</strong> rental units for tourists. Kelowna has the<br />
240 day stay provision for hotels and motels.<br />
Synopsrs: -kelowna's waterfront and tourist areas feature many strata<br />
rentai properties. Even though the 180 day occupancy requirements were<br />
,emovèd, they feel they have a good mix <strong>of</strong> permanent residents and<br />
available tourist accommodations. Throughout the year, Kelowna's<br />
downtown contains a waterfront area comprising <strong>of</strong> hotels and multiple<br />
family projects for permanent residency'<br />
penticton: Penticton has five specific tourist commercial zones in their<br />
zoning bylaw with one commercial residential zone, which deals specifically<br />
with strata rental properties. The zone allows for full time residency and<br />
rental accommodations and does not have specific ratios dealing with<br />
tenure. The commercial residential zone was introduced into the zoning<br />
bylaw in 2003 and includes uses such as townhouses and apartments<br />
sþecifically for the travelling public. There are only a few properties with this<br />
zäning in Penticton and tiey resemble the strata rental accommodation<br />
prope'rties seen in <strong>Vernon</strong>. A Penticton planner indicated that vacation<br />
renials operate all over the community in the summer as it is a busy tourist<br />
place. Tne <strong>City</strong> does not actively regulate such rental situations' The<br />
232
-2-<br />
planner indicated that even without having policies related to the tenure <strong>of</strong><br />
visitors and residents, the system works fine'<br />
Synopsis: Penticton is a similar size to <strong>Vernon</strong> but has a downtown<br />
adjacent to the lake, and aS such, has been able to develop the downtown<br />
in conjunction with the lakefront. A landmark hotel and strip <strong>of</strong> motels<br />
providé the basis for tourist accommodation, but the city still relies heavily<br />
on vacation rentals <strong>of</strong> people's personal residences to meet the tourist<br />
demand in the summer.<br />
Osoyoos: Osoyoos provides a Very releÚant comparison to <strong>Vernon</strong>, as it<br />
has é¡milar destinations and lifestyle amenity resorts. Like <strong>Vernon</strong>, Osoyoos<br />
has a tourist and residential focused waterfront area in their <strong>of</strong>ficial<br />
community plan. Like <strong>Vernon</strong>, Osoyoos, with its warm climate and lake side<br />
location, ñas also been a popular retirement community. Osoyoos has a<br />
zone specifically designed to provide the strata rental accommodations that<br />
allow both touríst acCommodation and permanent residency. The <strong>City</strong> did<br />
not have any objection if each project wished to regulate the ratio <strong>of</strong><br />
permanent and short term stay accommodation units in their company'<br />
For their resort developments, Osoyoos relies on comprehensive<br />
development (CD) zones. The CD zones range from single mixed use<br />
residential/commercial buildings to larger developments with multiple<br />
buildings <strong>of</strong>fering a range <strong>of</strong> resort amenities, including spa s-ervices, food<br />
and bãverage and long term accommodation. Most <strong>of</strong> the CD zones do<br />
allow for commercial lesidential uses (strata rental properties). These<br />
properties fit the definition <strong>of</strong> a strata accommodation property as defined by<br />
'BC'Assersment Authority. Almost all <strong>of</strong> these properties had been classified<br />
residential, although many are available for vacation rental for a large<br />
portion <strong>of</strong> the year.<br />
bynopsis; ósoyoos provides a very comparable example to the efforts<br />
Vêrnon is promoting regarding its waterfront and resort areas. Osoyoos has<br />
been liberal with letting the market dictate what percentage <strong>of</strong> units in any<br />
given development wili ultimately become available for vacation rental and<br />
ú,nat percentage will become full time residences. Osoyoos has the<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> having a large supply <strong>of</strong> hotel units in its waterfront area'<br />
Pitt Meadows: Pitt Meadows is trying to spur waterfront development along<br />
the Fraser River with a tourist-centric approach. Pitt Meadows also has a<br />
tourist commercial designation in its OCP that supports a number <strong>of</strong> tourist<br />
specific uses including overnight and vacation accommodation. lts<br />
waterfront area is zoned as a Comprehensive Development zone, a model<br />
used <strong>of</strong>ten in P¡tt Meadows to add a specific design element to a<br />
neighbourhood. The Waterfront CD zone allows for residential uses in<br />
spJcific areas and there does not seem to be any tenure limitations to the<br />
residential units, There is also a Tourist Accommodation zone in the zoning<br />
bylaw, but it focuses more on through travelers rather than destination end<br />
users, and has a residency limit <strong>of</strong> 60 days.<br />
233
-3-<br />
synopsis; Pitt Meadows has some similarities with vernon in that it is<br />
piopos¡ng to turn its underutilized waterfront area into a tourist and<br />
resiOent¡ãl arca. Pitt Meadows has elected to develop the area using a<br />
comprehensive development zone rather than through a ^detailed<br />
neigi-rbourhood plan or under any <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong>'s other zones. The CD zone<br />
doãs not directly limit strata rental properties and does allow for permanent<br />
residency.<br />
White Rock: ln White Rock there currently is one hotel' Tourist<br />
accommodation has been identified as a key priority in its Tourism<br />
lmplementation Plan. The style <strong>of</strong> tourism White Rock is proposing is a<br />
Uoltiqu" style. Small bed anð breakfasts are what the implementation plan<br />
calls fbr. White Rock does have a Tourist accommodation zone in its zoning<br />
bylaw, which provides for tourist oriented activities and services, but also<br />
for apartment housing. The apartment use, however, is limited to the<br />
"ílo*= storey or storeys above a pìermitted commercial use. The interpretation <strong>of</strong><br />
apartment specifically disallows tourist<br />
something that has been a problem in the<br />
values is not clear. The definition for apart<br />
residential areas seems to limit the opp<br />
ock.<br />
generallyreliesontouristaccommodationsinother<br />
liies for its tourism industry, so is not a very<br />
instructive model to follow'<br />
Port Moody: Port Moody does not have a strong tourist focus in either their<br />
OCp or 2oning bylaw. The zoning bylaw does havç a tourist<br />
accommodation úr" ín"t allows dwelling units with cooking facilities to be<br />
rented out for overnight accommodation. The tourist accommodation use,<br />
however, is only p"tñ't¡tt"O in the community commercial and automobile<br />
commercial ,on"r. lt is not clear in the regulations whether strata<br />
accommodation properties can be used for permanent residency or short<br />
term stays.<br />
Synopsis: Tourist accommodation is generally supplied with traditional<br />
hotels and motel uses in Port Moody and their bylaw provisions do not<br />
pioviOe clear direction on the use <strong>of</strong> strata accommodation properties'<br />
Granbrook: The tourist economy in Cranbrook focuses on outdoor<br />
recreation. cranbrook does have a tourist commercial zone, but the zone<br />
provides for camping and RV facilities rather than strata accommodation<br />
þroperties. Most ót tñe other commercial zones in the bylaw allow dwelling<br />
ãnd steeping units, but only as secondary, or ancillary, to a permitted use'<br />
Synopsis: -Cranbiook is nbt an instructive example to follow for <strong>Vernon</strong> and<br />
dóes not have provisions for strata accommodation properties'<br />
campbell River: campbell River does have a tourism sector related<br />
primärily to the sports fishing industry. Their zoning bylaw.does.have<br />
þrovisioîs for touiist accommiodations such as hotels, motels, bed and<br />
234
-4-<br />
breakfast and rooming houses. Their ocP designates a tourism area along<br />
the major highway in order to provide services to the motorists using that<br />
roadway. fné notél and motel uses allow for occupancy up to four months'<br />
The byiaw does not specifically refer to occupancy provisions for strata<br />
accommodation ProPerties<br />
Synopsis: The' Cämpbell River bylaw does provide comparable<br />
lot<br />
píovisions for strata acäormodation properties and waterfront development'<br />
Kamloops: Kamloops does not have a tourist accommodation use in its<br />
zoning bylaw or any t'ourist focused or resort focused zones as seen in other<br />
Okanagan .ottrñities. Most <strong>of</strong> the hotel and motel uses are positioned<br />
along ñajor highways. There<br />
in the zoning<br />

ism associated<br />
*¡tn tn" sports tournaments wh<br />
also transitory<br />
and the hotel and motel uses positi<br />
thoroughfares<br />
serve the sports tourism market well'<br />
Synopsis: Kamloops' bylaw does not provide comparable direction related<br />
to strata accommodation properties.<br />
Ghilliwack: Chilliwack's tourism focus is on outdoor recreational activities<br />
such as fishing and hunting and highway through traffic. As such, the tourist<br />
accommodation caters to those uses. The tourist accommodation zone in its<br />
zoning bylaw allows for hotel and motels<br />
ancillãry to commercial uses' Chilliwack us<br />
zones to direct the development <strong>of</strong> large res<br />
Synopsrs: Chilliwack does not specifically<br />
stiata rental properties in tourist commercial areas'<br />
Mission: Mission's waterfront development<br />
neighbourhood with a mix <strong>of</strong> uses to support<br />
a transient or tourist population' Most <strong>of</strong> the<br />
hotel and motel useå änO residential uses above the ground floor' There<br />
does not seem to be any specific provisions for strata rental accommodation<br />
or full time residency in ôommercial areas in any <strong>of</strong> Mission's policies.<br />
Synopsis: Mission does a waterfront re-development focus' They do not<br />
náve specific policies and bylaws which regulate occupancy terms for strata<br />
accommodation ProPerties'<br />
North vancouver: North Vancouver has a tourist accommodation use in its<br />
zoning bylaw. The use focuses on more traditional types <strong>of</strong> overnight<br />
accorimodation, such as motels, hotels etc. that do not allow for cooking<br />
facilities and need to have a guest registry' The hybrid sty.le strata<br />
accommodation properties and othãr such arrangements seen in <strong>Vernon</strong> do<br />
not seem to fall into the tourist accommodation category.<br />
Synopsis: North Vancouver focuses on a more traditional definition <strong>of</strong><br />
oíernight accommodation. There is no clear indication that occupancy term<br />
condit'lons for strata accommodation properties are being regulated'<br />

lnput and Staff ResPonse<br />
o Submitted email dated February 3,20t0 (copy attached)<br />
o Concerns expressed regarding proposed high density buildings<br />
opposite his ProPertY<br />
o Concerns expressed regarding buffer zone at Longacre Dr'<br />
o Disturbed by amount <strong>of</strong> density near his lot as compared to the<br />
rest <strong>of</strong> the develoPment<br />
o Good green space everywhere else, but not in that particular<br />
area<br />
o Pleased with road changes<br />
o Knows there is a height limit, but the density is too high for the<br />
space allotted<br />
o Will negatively affect his property and privacy factor<br />
o when Development initially presented, "open space" between<br />
new development and old were to be a priority<br />
o Now it seems that changes have been made due to economic<br />
considerations and priorities ignored<br />
o Too high density for area behind his house<br />
o No concerns regarding traffic flow<br />
Staff Response:<br />
o staff are recommending that the minimum and maximum<br />
number <strong>of</strong> units permitted on the property (site ZB3) referred to<br />
by Mr. Keegstra be reduced from 15 units and 19 units<br />
respectively to 8 units and 13 units. This reduction in units will<br />
provide for less residents, less vehicle movements and more<br />
open space opportunities on the site. Access to the parking areas<br />
for the units will remain from the laneway and not directly from<br />
Longacre Drive. This will result in less vehicle congest¡on along<br />
Longacre Drive.<br />

Keegstra comments - Board attempted to address concerns<br />
expressed at open houses. Relocation <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Avenue does<br />
mitigate the traffic increase on existing residents' Safety at these<br />
intersections has been improved. Difficulty <strong>of</strong> relocating was that<br />
a large number <strong>of</strong> units were lost. Newly created parcels were<br />
used to try and recoup these. Overlapping townhouses will have<br />
setbacks and won't be higherthan the two storey homes in area.<br />
,Going slow, comments -<br />
HDC intent is to proceed slowly and to<br />
develop with quality. 'Gateway' is first area proposed to be<br />
developed with sidewalks and infrastructure to be finished first'<br />
Streetscaping and landscaping will also be done. North east end<br />
would be built first.<br />
Storm Water Concerns - realize these problems need to be<br />
addressed and engineers are examining. should alleviate the type<br />
<strong>of</strong> problems being exPerienced.<br />
Development Timeline - variable timeline - could be 20 years<br />
(50 units per year max.), dependant upon need for attainable<br />
housing (interest rates, market, etc.).<br />
Development Agreement will ensure infrastructure development<br />
for each parcel will match.<br />
'Attainable Housing' definitions included in

the bylaw. Right now income range as low as $55,000 per year.<br />
o Developer and <strong>City</strong> will agree on infrastructure works prior to the<br />

o Slopes will affect'overlook' impact on neighbours, but design can<br />

Regarding Bylaw #5234 (2ON00148)<br />
Rezoning <strong>of</strong> 6500 Okanagan Ave. (Hesperia Land)<br />
The public consultation process has produced satisfactory results in regards to traffic<br />
flow and Oeiign in reference to how it impacts my property. (highlighted in red)<br />
However, I am very concerned with the proposed high density <strong>of</strong> buildings in the area across<br />
the road from me. (highlighted in blue)<br />
327
If you look at the overall plan, there is a reasonable buffer zone around the existing<br />
community except for whóre it meets Longacre Drive. I have copied a quote from the<br />
document found on the Hesperia website created by Fletcher and Company titled *A<br />
development plan for the Hãsperia Lands - December 2009'. Note the bullet highlighted in<br />
red.<br />
6.3. Community lssues and Priorites<br />
Based on the ¡nput at the Open Houses, three planning priorites for<br />
the communitY emerged:<br />
. Open SPace:<br />
o a variety <strong>of</strong> open spaces with large public areas;<br />
o the clustering <strong>of</strong> buildings to develop community nodes<br />
interspersed with oPen space;<br />
o separaton <strong>of</strong> new development from existing development<br />
with open space;<br />
o play areas for children.<br />
I would suggest that the blue highlighted area does not address that 3'd statement at all, and<br />
should be left as green space to accomplish the intent <strong>of</strong> "minimizing the amount <strong>of</strong> disruption<br />
to the surrounding community" as statãd on the *About' page on the Hesperia website under<br />
"<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>'s guiding principles and Mandate"<br />
328
My petition is to amend the proposed plan to eliminate any residential construction in the area<br />
discussed above and leave it-as green space to buffer the existing community from the<br />
proposed develoPment.<br />
^Stuôt ¿ condominiums on the south side <strong>of</strong> Longacre drive towering above my house will<br />
negatively imFact the value <strong>of</strong> my property a rd the sense <strong>of</strong> "country" that drew us to this<br />
location in the first Place.<br />

Public Hearings<br />
Rezoning bylaw 5234 (6500 Okanagan Ave) File 2on00148<br />
fì[iìi-.ivEiJ<br />
Dear Sir/Madam,<br />
we are Jim ad Lisa tsnardy located at 6529 Apollo Road. That would be the last house on the street before the proposed<br />
development.<br />
we have always been against this development because we bought a rural property for the peace and quiet' we also<br />
believe there are other iocations for affordable housing projects that would better serve <strong>Vernon</strong>'s citizens such as the<br />
land for sale on old Kamloops Road directly across from the booming Anderson subdivision and where many people<br />
who require affordable housing are employed. However after several years <strong>of</strong> watching this project push ahead<br />
regardless <strong>of</strong> the opposition and the lack <strong>of</strong> support from the community we have come to accept that this will happen<br />
whether we want it to or not.<br />
our home currently has a fantastic view <strong>of</strong> the city <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>. lt was the selling feature when we bought this home 9<br />
years ago. We also bought here because the school was small and the area was rural and quiet'<br />
we were encouraged to hear that the plan had recently been changed to include a large green space between the<br />
existing houses on Apollo and the new development. lt was nice to actually see the committee listening to the<br />
residences and we thought maybe it wouldn't be so bad. when we received our invitation to this city council meeting<br />
with the artist renderinjwe noticed that our home is the only one not given the green space buffer. We will have<br />
condos erected directfiacing our yard in the space where the existing end <strong>of</strong> Apollo Road meets Longacre'<br />
When I vi_ewed these plans I had several thoughts. First, I was really hoping to see a playground at the corner <strong>of</strong> Apollo<br />
and Longacre. This would help the existing neighbourhood kids get to know each other and help the new kids integrate<br />
with the area. tt would be nice to see . ,.i" fun place for thr kids in this community to play as I believe this is the only<br />
area in vernon where no such place already exists. Both Ellison and oKL Elementary are over a KM away'<br />
My second thought was why would you put condo's up over the existing Apollo Road to build out l'00 feet and then put<br />
in a new road. This really seems like a waste <strong>of</strong> resources, r nother issue that we have is that the next council is not<br />
angedandthewholeaffordablehousingissuecouldbe<br />
salineup<strong>of</strong>contractorsthatarewillingtobu¡ldth¡s<br />
ing,halffinisheddevelopmentsthathavebeenapprovedall<br />
to sell these homes too? What kind <strong>of</strong> public<br />
inheretogettotheirjobsthatarenowherenearwhere<br />
ploymentinthiscity?WhatWillthecriteriabeforwhocan<br />
has the money to buy? Will we wind up with a bunch <strong>of</strong><br />
ountain, and pocketing huge amounts <strong>of</strong> money and<br />
rhoodsthatlookprettyhighclassfromartistrenderings.<br />
ve a home out here or will they still have to rent ¡n<br />
downtown <strong>Vernon</strong>? Where willthe new schools be located to support the families moving into our neighbourhood, is<br />
council willing to help fund the building <strong>of</strong> these schools and employment <strong>of</strong> a bunch <strong>of</strong> new teachers out <strong>of</strong> funds from<br />
the sales <strong>of</strong> these homes, or will the taxes for all <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> be raised to help our financially troubled school district? Has<br />
this even been considered or did I miss seeing the new schools on the artist renderings?<br />
My final comment ¡s to where I see Apollo Road follows straight through the new development almost to Fulton' I see<br />
how fast the teenagers and irresponsible drivers drive on okanagan Avenue and subsequently Longacre Drive' I know I<br />
t<br />
333
will have to be prepared to stop on Apollo Road (<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> okanagan Landing Road) where it meets Longacre because<br />
almost daily I see cars going though that intersection from the stop sign without stopping or looking. The only thing<br />
that slows people down at this end <strong>of</strong> the street is the sharp corner at the bottom <strong>of</strong> the h¡ll. lf a speedway was put in I<br />
can only imagine how dangerous this would be for us backing out <strong>of</strong> our driveway, not to mention for our child and pets'<br />
overall we are disappointed with the insistence <strong>of</strong> council that the Hesperia development move forward. I think it<br />
shows lack <strong>of</strong> good judgement from our city representation considering that <strong>Vernon</strong>'s urban development is moving to<br />
the North <strong>of</strong> the city and it seems that our i.pr"r.ntrtion fails to see that that is where we need to locate a major<br />
affordable housing project, not on Okanagan Avenue'<br />

<strong>Vernon</strong>, BC V1H 1H5<br />
February 8, 2010<br />
ln 2006, the city <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> developed its Attainabte Housing strategy "to increase the supply <strong>of</strong><br />
r.rL"t i.rousing'units that are atta¡nable to households at a range <strong>of</strong> incomes, particularly those at<br />
the lower and moderate levels."<br />
When I attended the<br />
quest¡oned the need<br />
above the average. I<br />
the guidelines set out<br />
development that will increase car dependency<br />
centre.<br />
I realize now that those input opportunities<br />
development plan, which may well be an ex<br />
conceins about the actual need for attainable ho<br />
attainable, and the impact to all residents <strong>of</strong> Ver<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
My opportunity to present these concerns to Council is therefore at this Public Hearing'<br />
I respectfully request that Council reconsider the development in its current proposed location,<br />
because it:<br />
1. Does not conform to the Official Community Plan (OCP) and OCP Guiding Principles<br />
2. Will not help low to middle income families, and<br />
3. Does not make sense considering cur ent housing and demographic trends<br />
Specifically, mY concerns include:<br />
1. This development does not conform to the OCP and Guiding Principles, mainly due to<br />
itt ptopot"à location on a Greenfield site 6 km from the city centre'<br />
o The comparison chart on Pages 4-5 sho_ws how the Hesperia Greenfield development<br />
does notiõlf-rm<br />
trour OCÞ Guiding Principles, whereas a Brownfield development<br />
(redevetopmànt <strong>of</strong> an existing buildingisite) néar <strong>City</strong> Centre would conform to most, if<br />
not all, OCP Guiding PrinciPles'<br />
2. This development will not help low to middle income families.<br />
o The everage <strong>Vernon</strong> family earns $54'448'<br />
o Home purõhasing power ót ttre average <strong>Vernon</strong> family is $260'000<br />
based on 30% <strong>of</strong> iñcome directed to rouling with a 10% downpayment on a 4o/o<br />
mortgage amortized over 25 years ($1,375/month)<br />
o This O"u"ìôp.ànt is aimed'at a moderate family income range <strong>of</strong> $80'000 to<br />
$100'000.<br />
33s
3. This development does not make sense considering current housing and demographic<br />
trends.<br />
. According to <strong>Vernon</strong>'s OCP, there is the practicat capac_iÇ tg ..90 an additional<br />
10,OOO Oúeiing únits without accessing Greenfietd sites for significant residential<br />
develoPment."<br />
1,000 units is a significant residential development'<br />
o \Mry a Greenfield-site for this development?<br />
r The OCp further predicts that "By 2031, the poputation is projected to increase by<br />
15,656 PeoPle to 51,600."<br />
Slow growth is exPected to 2031.<br />
Over ihe next 20 years, that means 7,100 new units may be needed'<br />
o ls now the right time to build 1,000 new units?<br />
. MLS Search - February 5, 2010:<br />
The number <strong>of</strong> residential properties listed for sale within the boundaries <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />
Vemon is currently 316, ol',whichTSo/o are listed at $400,000 or less.<br />
. The OCp states that the "trend <strong>of</strong> a decreasing number <strong>of</strong> people per dwelling unit<br />
will contiñuJ tnrough to 2031 due to peopte in the community having fewer<br />
children and migratión <strong>of</strong> otder people whom are empty nesters".<br />
. Lower than average household size<br />
o The average number <strong>of</strong> people per dwelling unit is cunently 2.2.<br />
A variety <strong>of</strong> smaller units are needed.<br />
Does it inake sense to dedicate 50% <strong>of</strong> units to families & children?<br />
o 69% <strong>of</strong> homes in <strong>Vernon</strong> are 1' or 2-person households'<br />
. High median age<br />
'o By 2ßllvemon's 65+ age group will accounlfor 26% <strong>of</strong> total population<br />
o Aie these units suitable for seniors?<br />
¡ lncreased rates <strong>of</strong> home ownership<br />
o Home ownership went up 5% from 2001 to 2006'<br />
o Was the trend also upwards from 2006 to 2010?<br />
Unless otherwise noted, the above-referenced facts and figures were extracted from:<br />
. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Vemon Official Community Plan (2008) -<br />

As a resident <strong>of</strong> the Landing area for over<br />
development in outlying areas puts pressure on<br />
amenitìes such as boat launches and parks, an<br />
to and from the Landing is increasingly a chall<br />
generate an additional 4,000-10,000 trips per day'<br />
The city <strong>of</strong> Vemon Transportation Demand Management coordinator recently completed . 9Ïry"y<br />
<strong>of</strong> school children to réã'no* they arrive at schoã|. I was not surprised to discover that Ellison<br />
336
Elementary has the highest number <strong>of</strong> children who are driven to and from school' Traffic is<br />
ãùË"ãv ã'major issue-in the Landing, and now we are looking to accommodate another 500<br />
famifie! with cirildren in a development located 6 km away from <strong>City</strong> Centre'<br />
with so many building sites not yet fully built-out, and the number <strong>of</strong> residential properties cunently<br />
for sale undér $400,õoo in fre úanding area (eg. The Breeze, The Strand, oal< Estates, etc), plus<br />
tñe number <strong>of</strong> Landing properties slated forle-development over the next year (eg' Tuscan<br />
i"lr.ðéi, Eastside noäci, êtc¡, not to mention additional, reasonable, opportunities for home<br />
o*n"on¡þ in other .r"ri ôt tnä C¡ry, it is difficult to grasp why we taxpayers should support this<br />
endeavour.<br />
The addition <strong>of</strong> another 1,000 units <strong>of</strong> urban sprawl development in the La.nding without a<br />
commensurate increase in transportation infrastructure and other amenities will only serve to<br />
negatively impact existing residents <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong>'<br />
Reconsideration <strong>of</strong> this projecfs location would afford Council the opportunity to show<br />
sustainable leadership, by ädnering to our OCP and Guiding Principles, and by taking<br />
ããuànt"g" <strong>of</strong> the sign]ilca-nt opportùnities for Brownfield development that currently exist<br />
close to, or within, the CitY Centre.<br />

ln this economy, families earning $8O,OOO to $100,000 per year simply do not experience<br />
signincant enough barriers to home ownership to merit taxpayer assistance'<br />
It is my sincere hope that Council will "do.the right thing" and exercise 'lb considerable power to<br />

Official pù-dt¡c Hearing for Rezoning Bylaw #5234 (6500 Okanagan Avenüe) '-<br />
Dear Uåyor, Council and <strong>City</strong> Planner Dale M. Rintoul:<br />
RE: Opposition to Rezoning <strong>of</strong> the above Property.<br />
My name is Don Barta residing al6772Apollo Rd. and have deemed my property and in fact all<br />
póperty owners in <strong>Vernon</strong> affected by the subject rezon¡ng application. As this public hearing is<br />
related specifically to zoning, I will speak mainly <strong>of</strong> that issue. The Okanagan Landing area residents<br />
agreed to be annexed into the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> but rn overuvhelming attitude was to keep density <strong>of</strong><br />
hóusing in that part <strong>of</strong> the valley reasonable. The multi-family zoning allowing 12 units peracre was<br />
acceptãble if properly planned and placed. I oppose this creation <strong>of</strong> a new zoning which allows such a<br />
higher density and application <strong>of</strong> this density on the subject property.<br />
I ask each and every member <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council to ask themselves honestly if this zoning or<br />
development plan would be approved if the Applicant was a true arms-length or independent<br />
develoþer. Ev'en if the perceived benefits or incentives <strong>of</strong> addressing housing needs was <strong>of</strong>fered, my<br />
opinionls that this development proposal would be completely rejected based on location, ALR and<br />
tþtry irrigation implications and outright conflict with <strong>of</strong>ficial community plan and goals <strong>of</strong> promoting<br />
grown from <strong>City</strong> Center out.<br />
The whole process <strong>of</strong> approvals and support for this development are, in my opinion, in question<br />
starting witñ nlR removal application which not one remaining Council member had approved' l<br />
suggeõt that the ALR removal application be revisited and not hear excuses from The<br />
HJs-peria Development Corp. suggesting that ALR removal was granted as the lands were subject to<br />
a development pian some 28 yeãrs ago. lf that's the case, I cannot support a new or changed<br />
development plan now that removal has been obtained.<br />
! also caution the <strong>City</strong> and the Hesperia Development Corp. that manipulating the laws.<strong>of</strong> supply and<br />
demand could prove devastating to the competing, arms length developer who will seek<br />
compensation or level playing field in zoning density when the realize that the <strong>City</strong> and Hesperia<br />
Devålopment Corp are.compéting for a limited number <strong>of</strong> potential customers. This zoning and<br />
development is not appropriate fõr this property and the Devel<br />
not be played<br />
witn fáipayer Dollars.'Perhaps further <strong>City</strong> support for private<br />
relaxed zoning or<br />
loped areas.<br />
DCCs foi piedetermined redevelopment incentives is a viable<br />
Thanks for allowing me to comment as part <strong>of</strong> this Public Hearing<br />

2.0 Planning Context<br />
Neighbourhood plans are detailed plans that<br />
supplement the Official Community Plan<br />
(OCP) and provide additional guidance for<br />
new growth and development in a given area.<br />
Neighbourhood plans are prepared for the<br />
purpose <strong>of</strong> meeting the needs <strong>of</strong> the<br />
community as it grows and ensures the<br />
community is ready for development at such<br />
time as it occurs.<br />
On July 22, 1996 Council adoPted OCP<br />
Amendment Bylaw fl4246 to include the Bella<br />
Vista West Neighbourhood Plan in the OCP.<br />
Since the neighbourhood plan was adopted,<br />
the number <strong>of</strong> homes in the plan area has<br />
grown from approximately 50 units in 1996 to<br />
approximately 220 units in 2009. During the<br />
OCP review process, several property owners<br />
presented requests to review designations in<br />
the plan area in addition to expanding the<br />
plan area boundaries. oounqaflgs. ll. lt was w¡ált uul'tillllllllttJ<br />
determined<br />
äuring the 2008 OCP review process that any review <strong>of</strong> designations within the<br />
neigh-bourhood plan area should be considered through a review <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood<br />
ptañ. ns such, Council authorized staff to conduct a review <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista West<br />
Neighbourhood plan.<br />
The Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area is identified in the OCP 2008 as being<br />
within Neighbourhood Planning Area 2 (NPA-2) which consists <strong>of</strong> the Hillside<br />
Residentiaiand Agricultural Districts. As per Section 20.3 <strong>of</strong> the OCP 2008, the Bella<br />

3.0 Residential<br />
Goals:<br />
To provide a variety <strong>of</strong> sizes and formats <strong>of</strong> residential units in the context <strong>of</strong> existing<br />
residential development, including secondary suites.<br />
To pursue the provision <strong>of</strong> attainable housing units within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Provide opportunities for greater residential density where site conditions and locations<br />
provide the opportunity for greater utilization <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure and services.<br />
Ensure that new development sustains existing views from adjacent residential units as<br />
much as possible.<br />
Ensure that new development considers the form and characteristics <strong>of</strong> existing<br />
adjacent residential units.<br />
Context:<br />
Existing residential development within the neighbourhood plan area consists <strong>of</strong><br />
predominately single family development. However, there are components <strong>of</strong><br />
multifamily development located on Peregrine Way and Adventure Bay Road. Average<br />
home size and average lot sizes in the neighbourhood plan area are higher than the<br />
<strong>City</strong> average. Home values within the plan area are also above average for the <strong>City</strong>.<br />
Residents ln the area include a mix <strong>of</strong> families, couples, active senior couples and<br />
some single person households. There is a significant component <strong>of</strong> residential<br />
occupancy within the plan area which is seasonal, with the neighbourhood experiencing<br />
more resiâents occupying their homes in the summer than during the winter months.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> the current home owners within the neighbourhood plan area have a second<br />
residence outside the Okanagan where they spend the winter months.<br />
The majority <strong>of</strong> the existing development within the neighbourhood plan area that is<br />
designaied in the OCP 2008 as Residential Low Density is developed with single family<br />
dweiings. The Residential Low Density OCP 2008 designation permits a maximum unit<br />
density <strong>of</strong> 12 units per acre (30 units per hectare). The Hillside designation in the OCP<br />
2008 áoer not include a maximum density provision. However, in Zoning Bylaw #5000,<br />
the HR1 - Hillside Residential Single and Two Family zone includes a maximum density<br />
<strong>of</strong> 10 units per acre (24 units per hectare). lt is important to protect the character <strong>of</strong> the<br />
existing neighbourhood as new development occurs. Conflicts can occur when the size<br />
and setbacks <strong>of</strong> new homes are out <strong>of</strong> scale and context with adjacent existing homes.<br />

Although the majority <strong>of</strong> existing development within the Bella Vista West<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area is in single family format, as noted there are components <strong>of</strong><br />
ground oriented multifamily development. ln addition, larger undeveloped parcels <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
án opportunity for additional multifamily development that will add to the diversity <strong>of</strong><br />
housing types within the neighbourhood plan area. The creation <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> housing<br />
types will assist in developing additional diversity within the neighbourhood.<br />
Apartment housing development forms are also limited within the neighbourhood plan<br />
area. Opportunities for additional apartment development are in the centre <strong>of</strong> the plan<br />
area above Tronson Road and in the southwest portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area below Tronson<br />
Road. Although topography in the plan area limits the opportunities to pursue apartment<br />
housing, the addition <strong>of</strong> units in this form within the neighbourhood plan area will also<br />
add to the diversity <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood.<br />

4.0 Commerc¡al<br />
Goals:<br />
To provide opportunities for home based<br />
businesses within the neighbourhood<br />
plan area.<br />
To provide opportunities for viable<br />
commercial development in the context<br />
<strong>of</strong> a limited neighbourhood customer<br />
market.<br />
Context:<br />
With a build out <strong>of</strong> approximately twelve hundred residential units proposed for the<br />
neighbourhood plan area, the population <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood will require some<br />
commercial services to reduce their need for trips to the nearest neighbourhood centre<br />
currently located around Landing Plaza on 25tn Avenue and future commercial<br />
compleies in the Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan area. As the neighbourhood plan<br />
area is at the end <strong>of</strong> Tronson Road, and at this time there are no plans to extend<br />
Tronson Road northward through lR #1 lands, no traffic from outside the plan area will<br />
assist in supporting businesses. Due to this isolated location, commercial uses must be<br />
fully supportable by the neighbourhood population. However, the customer market is<br />
noi sufficient to support a designated commercial area, particularly given the significant<br />
seasonal fluctuations in residential occupancy. Without consistent year round<br />
customers, even small scale businesses such as a convenience store are unlikely to be<br />
viable.<br />
ln the future, as residential development areas are completed and the neighbourhood<br />
population grows, opportunities for seasonal temporary food services may be viable in<br />
ihe form <strong>of</strong>-a summer ice cream shop or other business <strong>of</strong> a similar scale. A possible<br />
location is adjacent to the public park, as the lake access across from this location and<br />
the central location in the neighbourhood may create enough <strong>of</strong> a customer base during<br />
the summer months to support business in this format.<br />
One commercial operation (a restaurant) is located within the northern portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
plan area adjacent to Tronson Road. Although the neighbourhood plan has the<br />
restaurant property designated Residential Low Density, the commercial zoning <strong>of</strong> the<br />
property is intended to remain in place. Therefore, the business operation on the<br />
property will remain legally conforming.<br />
Policv:<br />
4.1 Commerciat uses shall be limited to home based businesses and temporary<br />
seasonal commercial operations adjacent to the public park near Tronson Road<br />
and Tavistock Road.<br />

population.<br />
Work with the Regional District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan - Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation<br />
and Culture to provide two neighbourhood parks within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
The need for additional public trails and public neighbourhood parks has been identified<br />
by the current residents <strong>of</strong> the area and in the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and Recreation<br />
Master Plan. Additional passive and active park areas are required to accommodate<br />
passive activities, recreation play areas, hard surface play areas and pocket parks.<br />
Additional private recreational facilities including tennis courts, pool and private<br />
common beach areas are located within the developed portions <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood<br />
plan area. However, these are not public facilities and are not accessible to all residents<br />
within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Parks, recreation, and cultural services in <strong>Vernon</strong> are provided through the Regional<br />
District <strong>of</strong> North Okanagan - Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks, Recreation and Culture. One<br />
passive public park (designed for viewing, resting and other uses involving limited<br />
þhysical activity and limited need for facilities and/or equipment) is located in the Bella<br />
Viéta West neighbourhood plan area along the lake in the southwest portion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Neighbourhood Plan. This park is identified in the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and<br />
Recreation Master Plan as a Natural Area. Facilities will include a trail connecting<br />
Tronson Road to the shore <strong>of</strong> Okanagan Lake (Trail 4). This moderately steep trail will<br />
provide pedestrian and access to the lakeshore.<br />

The Greater <strong>Vernon</strong> Parks and Recreation Master<br />
Plan identified a need for a 2.5 hectare<br />
neighbourhood park within the plan area. The<br />
neighbourhood plan divides this 2.5 hectare park into<br />
two smaller active neighbourhood parks ( designed<br />
for recreation activities and includes the required<br />
facilities and/or equipment for these activities). One is<br />
a 1.0 hectare park located on the south side <strong>of</strong><br />
Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road (shown as P1 on Map 4). The second<br />
is a 1.5 hectare park located between Tronson Road<br />
and Goldclaim Road (shown as P2 on Map 4). These<br />
two parks are intended to be constructed as a<br />
function <strong>of</strong> further residential development in the<br />
neighbourhood plan area. All three public park areas<br />
are designated as Parks and Open Space on Map 3.<br />
ln addition to these three public parks, the<br />
neighbourhood plan area contains significant private park areas that will form a part <strong>of</strong><br />
cotimon properties for adjacent residential developments. These areas are designated<br />
Parks and Open Space on Map 3.<br />
Four future public trails are identified, one connecting Goldclaim Road to Tavistock<br />
Road (shown as Trail 1 on Map 4), the second connecting the terminus <strong>of</strong> Tavistock<br />
Road to Tronson Road (shown as Trail 2 on Map 4), the third connecting Tavistock<br />
Road switchbacks along the eastern edge <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area to Cr<strong>of</strong>ton<br />
Road (shown as Trail 3 on Map 4) and the forth trail connecting Tronson road to the<br />
waterfront (shown as Trail 4 on Map 4). Trails 1 & 3 in connection with portions <strong>of</strong><br />
Goldclaim Road, Tavistock Road and Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road create the "Ribbons <strong>of</strong> Green Trail"<br />
within the neighbourhood plan area. All trails will be designed to accommodate<br />
pedestrians anO whereever topography will allow and where appropriate will be<br />
designed to also accommodate cyclists. The three trails defined in the neighbourhood<br />
plan will include allweather surfacing.<br />

6.0 Transportat¡on<br />
Goals:<br />
lmprove the livability <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area by increasing<br />
the use <strong>of</strong> alternative transportation<br />
modes including, but not limited to, cycling<br />
and walking.<br />
Secure adequate rights-<strong>of</strong>-way for future<br />
transportation projects.<br />
Provide a secondary emergency access<br />
route connecting through the Bella Vista<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area from the end <strong>of</strong><br />
Goldclaim Road to the southeast corner <strong>of</strong><br />
the neighbourhood plan area at Tronson Road.<br />
Context:<br />
The location <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista Neighbourhood Plan area presents several<br />
transportation challenges. Tronson Road is the only road access into the<br />
neighbourhood plan area. All vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians share the right-<strong>of</strong>-way<br />
for access to the area. The area is not serviced by public transit, and the number <strong>of</strong><br />
residential units proposed within the plan area will not support transit service in the<br />
future. However, School District #22 does provide bus service to carry children to<br />
elementary and secondary schools. Limited pedestrian infrastructure is available within<br />
the neighbourhood plan area. The proposed trail network and the addition <strong>of</strong> sidewalks<br />
and bicycle lanes will improve the opportunities for alternate transportation in the<br />
neighbourhood plan area. During the 2009 public consultation process, residents<br />
stressed the need for an emergency access alternative to Tronson Road. The portion<br />
from the end <strong>of</strong> Cr<strong>of</strong>ton Road to Tronson Road is existing and the portion connecting<br />
Goldclaim Road to Tavistock Road will be constructed as a function <strong>of</strong> new<br />
development in the area.<br />
Supoortinq Policies:<br />
6.1 Pedestrian and cycling connections to and within this area will be supported by<br />
promoting development that encourages alternative transportation as per policy<br />
26.7 in OCP 2008.<br />
6.2 The <strong>City</strong> will work with new development to create better pedestrian and<br />
alternative transportation access to recreation areas and parks as per policy 26.8<br />
in OCP 2008.<br />

Provide connectivity between natural areas.<br />
lntegrate habitat protection, interface management, wildlife corridor creation<br />
invaêive species control into all permitting processes and land use decision making.<br />
Context:<br />
The Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan area includes lands having low, medium and<br />
high ecosystem sensitivity according to the Sensitive Ecosystem lnventory (SEl). ln<br />
adlition, the neighbourhood plan area includes south facing, arid grasslands and<br />
rangelands, sparse forest cover in the upper lands and lakeshore riparian areas along<br />
Okanagan Lake.<br />
This area has been impacted by cattle grazing, but is otherwise a greenfield site which<br />
supports diverse wildlife species and grassland habitats. The creation and protection <strong>of</strong><br />
witdiife corridors, refuges and access to open water is important for the modification <strong>of</strong><br />
this land from lightly disturbed greenfield conditions to a residential neighbourhood.<br />
Wildlife currently living on and moving through this area will be brought into conflict with<br />
new residential property owners should insufficient area and access be provided for<br />
their movement and habitat needs.<br />
As well, during the development <strong>of</strong> a neighbourhood in this alea, consideration <strong>of</strong><br />
buffers between residential uses and remaining grassland, agricultural lands and park<br />
lands need to be included to avoid unnecessary issues arising from fire break<br />
requirements, agricultural animal escapes, noise and nuisance issues along the land<br />
use interface lines.<br />
and<br />

8.0 Energy<br />
Goals:<br />
lntegrate the use <strong>of</strong> solar, geothermal and wind energy generation throughout the<br />
neighbourhood plan area, as appropriate.<br />
Explore opportunities for neighbourhood energy projects, as appropriate.<br />
Context:<br />
The neighbourhood plan area is located on a south facing slope at the end <strong>of</strong><br />
Okanagan Lake in an area with natural bedrock. This provides ideal conditions for the<br />
integration <strong>of</strong> solar, wind and geothermal energy generation into residential<br />
construction, as well as part <strong>of</strong> street and trail lighting. The price <strong>of</strong> energy, and its<br />
availability, can impact not only how energy efficient homes are, but determine the long<br />
term cost <strong>of</strong> operating a home. This can also be applied to those shared amenities and<br />
infrastructure elements which require energy to operate, such as street lights and trail<br />
lights. lmplementation <strong>of</strong> energy generation capacity within the plan area will provide<br />
residents and strata organizations with the option to operate their homes and common<br />
areas at a lower cost over the long term, with less environmental impact.<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
8.1 Encourage the planning, design and construction <strong>of</strong> energy aware<br />
neighbourhoods and buildings, including the minimization <strong>of</strong> the non-renewable<br />
energy use and investing in energy efficient design features as per policy 10.2in<br />

8.2 Emphasize innovation in building design and raise awareness <strong>of</strong> green building<br />
options, materials sourcing, energy alternatives and consideration <strong>of</strong> the needs<br />
<strong>of</strong> future property owners for energy efficient options, balanced with the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
construction as per policy 10.3 in OCP 2008.<br />

9.0 Agriculture<br />
Goals:<br />
ldentify and protect agricultural lands.<br />
Provide opportunities for food production to residents<br />
within the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
All lands within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood<br />
Plan area are within the Agricultural and Hillside Residential District (District 3) <strong>of</strong> the<br />
OCP 2008 Land Use Plan. Within the northeast portion <strong>of</strong> the Bella Vista West<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area are lands designated as Rural Agriculture (RA). Portions <strong>of</strong><br />
these lands are currently utilized for agricultural purposes but due to topography and<br />
rocky soil conditions, use has been limited to cattle grazing and calving. Although the<br />
plan area does not support large scale agricultural cultivation, residential gardens may<br />
be viable in certain portions <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood plan area. Limitations on the viability<br />
<strong>of</strong> residential garden space will include irrigation, water availability, poor soils, rocky<br />
outcrops and steep slopes.<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
9.1 Create buffers to discourage interaction between agricultural activities, grazing<br />
and calving and residential activities through the installation <strong>of</strong> dense<br />
landscaping and fencing.<br />
9.2 Encourage the construction <strong>of</strong> community garden space adjacent to residential<br />
developments without private, ground level outdoor space, or in areas readily<br />
accessible to residents in multifamily residential developments.<br />
9.3 Ensure the creation and use <strong>of</strong> residential gardens are not impeded through<br />
strata bylaws and/or covenants registered on title.<br />
9.4 Support opportunities for education on gardening and food production for<br />

10.0 Social Planning<br />
Goals:<br />
Ensure development proposals are reviewed in the context <strong>of</strong> the health and safety <strong>of</strong><br />
the existing and future residents <strong>of</strong> the neighbourhood.<br />
lnclude Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) considerations in<br />
the review <strong>of</strong> development applications.<br />
Support the development <strong>of</strong> a variety <strong>of</strong> resídential housing form and sizes within the<br />
neighbourhood.<br />
Support the development <strong>of</strong> accessible childcare for residents within the neighbourhood<br />
plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
It is important that the health, safety and well being <strong>of</strong> current and future residents are<br />
included in planning for the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood plan area is situated<br />
on the periphery <strong>of</strong> the city, does not have public transit service and does not <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
health, personal or commercial services within the neighbourhood. This limits the<br />
opportunity to provide housing options for all members <strong>of</strong> the community. However,<br />
there are opportunities to encourage a variety <strong>of</strong> residential development forms and unit<br />
sizes to provide housing options for more household types, and to enhance the<br />
accessibility <strong>of</strong> public amenities to ensure the needs <strong>of</strong> the people utilizing the facilities<br />
are being met.<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
10.1 Encourage a variety <strong>of</strong> housing forms and unit sizes.<br />
10.2 Work towards universal physical accessibility in new development and to public<br />
facilities and amenities, policy 16.13 in OCP 2008.<br />
10.3 Continue efforts to support affordable and accessible childcare for residents in<br />
the neíghbourhood plan area.<br />
10.4 Utilize Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles (CPTED)<br />
the review process for rezoning and development applications (policy 16.19<br />
ocP 2008).<br />

11.O lnfrastructure<br />
Goals:<br />
Conserve water through reduced water use in existing development and designing for<br />
lower use in new development.<br />
Maintain natural surface watenvays and groundwater routes.<br />
Pu rsue on-site stormwater retention.<br />
Maximize the number <strong>of</strong> residential units serviced by infrastructure.<br />
Facilitate the sitíng <strong>of</strong> new development adjacent to existing infrastructure.<br />
Limit the amount, size and impact <strong>of</strong> infrastructure (sewer services, water services,<br />
storm services, roads, solid waste and recycling, other utilities and related structures).<br />
Context:<br />
The topography and soil conditions within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan<br />
area create significant issues for servicing and accessing. Through the Hillside<br />
Guidelines, the <strong>City</strong> limits the amount <strong>of</strong> infrastructure constructed and ensures that the<br />
infrastructure constructed is as efficient as possible. This limits the amount <strong>of</strong><br />
infrastructure the <strong>City</strong> must maintain and replace in the future. Existing infrastructure<br />
within the neighbourhood plan area includes both municipal and private utílity services<br />
for water, sewer and storm. The northwestern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area is currently<br />
serviced by a private water and sewer utilities and the southern portion <strong>of</strong> the plan area<br />
is serviced by public services.<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
11.1 Development is to follow the Hillside Guidelines during the design <strong>of</strong> all new<br />
ínfrastructure.<br />
11.2 Encourage water conservation in existing and new development.<br />
11.3 Ensure efficient use <strong>of</strong> infrastructure by siting new development adjacent to<br />
existing infrastructure.<br />
11.4 Wherever site conditions will allow, on-site storm water retention will be required.<br />
11.5 Ensure the natural pattern <strong>of</strong> ground and surface water is maintained wherever<br />
possible.<br />

12.0 Fire lnterface<br />
Goals:<br />
Reduce the firehazard risk within the Bella Vista West<br />
Neighbourhood Plan area.<br />
Context:<br />
All lands within the Bella Vista West Neighbourhood Plan<br />
area are identified as being within a wild land fire protection<br />
and interface area. As the plan area includes significant<br />
components <strong>of</strong> forest and grasslands, the risk <strong>of</strong> wild land<br />
fire in the plan area is high. ln order to reduce the risk to the<br />
residents <strong>of</strong> wild land fire moving from the natural areas to<br />
developed areas, new development is required to adhere to<br />
the policies in Section 19 - Fire lnterface, <strong>of</strong> the OCP 2008.<br />
The steep slopes and limited access in the neighbourhood<br />
plan area will add to the difficulties in controlling wild land<br />
fire. The principle <strong>of</strong> protection through prevention applies<br />
as a best practice for the neighbourhood plan area.<br />
All new development will require the installation <strong>of</strong> fire sprinklers.<br />
Supportinq Policies:<br />
12.1 Apply the requirements <strong>of</strong> policies 19.1 to 19.9 in OCP 2008.<br />
12.2 Support the education <strong>of</strong> neighbourhood plan residents in the<br />
preventative actions that should be pursued.<br />
risks and<br />
12.3 Support the <strong>Vernon</strong> Fire Department and Bylaw Enforcement<br />
identifying accumulations <strong>of</strong> materials presenting a high fire risk and<br />
their removal.<br />
Division in<br />
supporting<br />
12.4 Property owners are to follow the Fire Smart principles as included in<br />
in OCP, 2008.<br />

Dear Mayor Lippert and <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> Councillors,<br />
Last month, staff at the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) surveyed all member local<br />
governments about the inclusion <strong>of</strong> its monthly Board Report as part <strong>of</strong> each municipality's/<br />
regional district's agenda package. The inquiry came as a recommendation from our board<br />
and was aimed at increasing communication between the OBWB and local councillors and<br />
regiona I district d irectors.<br />
Our understanding, from speaking to <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> staff, is that the Board Report will be<br />
provided as part <strong>of</strong> your monthly agenda package. We wish to thank staff for this. We hope<br />
that the correspondence proves to be useful in deliberations around your table, when it<br />
comes to water issues.<br />
At the city's request, I would be happy to provide a report, in-person, to your board at any<br />
time, to give an update on OBWB activities and answer any questions you may have. lf this<br />
is <strong>of</strong> interest, please let me know.<br />
Thank you.<br />
Sincerely,<br />

<strong>Vernon</strong> BC VIT 5E6<br />
Dear Mayor Lippert:<br />
BRITISH<br />
Colunrste<br />
f4Å<br />
Ref: 190855<br />
Thank you for your letter <strong>of</strong> January 15, 2010, on behalf <strong>of</strong> The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> addressed to the<br />
Honourable Michael de Jong, Attorney General, regarding treatment options for youth<br />
experiencing substance use problems and refusing withdrawal management (detox) or treatment<br />
programs. I understand you also w¡ote to the Honourable Gordon Campbell, Premier.<br />
Premier Campbell and Minister de Jong have asked that I respond on their behalf and as the<br />
Minister <strong>of</strong> Children and Family Development and Minister Responsible for Child Care,I am<br />
pleased to do so. The issues that you raised are very important to the well-being <strong>of</strong> our youth,<br />
families and communities.<br />
The Ministry <strong>of</strong> Children and Family Development (MCFD) is responsible for community<br />
mental health services for children and youth, youth justice services and other child and youth<br />
services under the Child, Family and Community Service Act (CFCSA) such as child protection<br />
services and services for youth-at-risk for sexual exploitation (including, for example, outreach<br />
services, safe houses/emergency shelters, and youth agteements).<br />
The Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health Services is responsible, through the Health Authorities, for the delivery<br />
<strong>of</strong> youth substance use outreach, withdrawal management and treatment services. Health<br />
Authorities work closely with MCFD to coordinate services for youth needing hospital,<br />
community-based mental health andior substance use services.<br />
The British Columbia Mental Healthlcr includes a provision for involuntary admission to a<br />
designated facility or hospital for individuals with a mental disorder who also meet other specific<br />
psychiatric criteria. A substance use disorder is considered a mental disorder, and as a result can<br />
be included as meeting one, but not all, <strong>of</strong> the specifrc criteria for involuntary admission to<br />
hospital. Involuntary hospital admission <strong>of</strong> youth under the Mental Health Act is far less<br />
common than for adults and is most <strong>of</strong>ten related to high risk <strong>of</strong> harm to self or others due to a<br />
serious mental illness such as a psychotic disorder. 1n200712008, there were 946 children and<br />
youth under the age <strong>of</strong> l9 involuntarily admitted to hospitals in the province, typically for brief<br />
periods; 137 <strong>of</strong> these youth had a primary diagnosis <strong>of</strong> substance use disorder.<br />

There are no plans in the near futrue to inhoduce legislation mandating detoxification or<br />
treatnent <strong>of</strong> youth with substance use problems that is beyond the current regulatory frameworks<br />
(i.e. through the Youth Justice system, the Mental Health Act,andthe CFCSA). However,<br />
MCFD and several other minishies are currently working together to develop processes within<br />
the cu¡rent regulatory ûameworks and voluntary mental health, substance use outreach,<br />
withdrawal management and treatnent services that will enhance engagement with youth, who<br />
may be reluctant to engage in services to address their substance use problems.<br />
The Ministry <strong>of</strong> Health Services, Ministry <strong>of</strong> Healthy Living and Sport and MCFD a¡e also<br />
working with other ministies, health authorities, and community parürers to develop a<br />
comprehensive 10 year plan to address mental health and substance use across the lifespan. This<br />
plan will aim to improve the range <strong>of</strong> integrated seryices and supports to meet various levels <strong>of</strong><br />
need, including earlier'youth friendly' evidence-based interventions to prevent development <strong>of</strong><br />
more serious problems or reduce the impact <strong>of</strong> problems experienced by youth.<br />
Thank you again for bringing your concems to our attention.<br />

Council on the potential <strong>of</strong> using restaurant wet waste in<br />
community gardens.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> is interested in looking at wet waste due to<br />
a bylaw that will come into place in December 2009 as part <strong>of</strong><br />
the removal <strong>of</strong> back alley dumpsters. Downtown restaurants<br />

want alternatives to dispose <strong>of</strong> their wet waste.<br />
Nicole Kohnert and Karmen Morgan from Environmental<br />
services with the Regional District <strong>of</strong> the Nodh okanagan met<br />
required.<br />
The Regional District <strong>of</strong> the North okanagan is reviewing their<br />
Solid Waste Management Plan and is looking at several<br />
strategies, long and short term but have no plan to compost<br />
food waste at the landfill, as it is very costly.<br />
Bin to Curb, a private company, <strong>of</strong>fers curb side pick-up <strong>of</strong><br />
organic waste and currently services approximately 100<br />
customers. okanagan Landing school has their own compost<br />
system which serves as a good example for other operations<br />
that have food waste to dispose <strong>of</strong>. Businesses have options<br />
<strong>of</strong> purchasing large composting systems'<br />
The cómmunity garden approach has been discussed with<br />
Parks and Recreation to review potential locations' The <strong>City</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> planning department will be instrumental in<br />
determining locations for the pilot gardens. The pilot projects<br />
will determine how feasible this initiative is'<br />
There is no expectation for all <strong>of</strong> the wet waste created by the<br />
community to be used in the gardens but there is a need to<br />
determine where the opportunities currently are as community<br />
garden locations must work for the neighbourhood as well as<br />
the garden.<br />
The East Hill and Lutheran Church gardens are over<br />
subscribed as there is a huge demand. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
recognizes the demand because a number <strong>of</strong> citizens have<br />
enquired about the possibility <strong>of</strong> a community garden in their<br />
area.<br />
Moved by Zee Marcolin, seconded by Roseanne Van Ee:<br />
THAT the Environmental Advisory Committee<br />
recommends Council supports working with the Regional<br />
District <strong>of</strong> the North Okanagan in the development <strong>of</strong> a<br />
pilot project that would combine wet waste composting<br />
with a community garden.<br />

VERBAL UPDATE FROM<br />
THE ENVIRONMENTAL<br />
PLANNER<br />
The Environmental Planner provided the following update;<br />
Heritaqe Tree Bvlaw:<br />
The planning deparlment is working on a heritage tree<br />
survey in the East Hill and <strong>City</strong> Centre areas where the<br />
majority <strong>of</strong> Heritage buildings are located.<br />
The city arborist investigated the Heritage Walnut Tree<br />
on 20th Avenue, which neighbours voiced their<br />
concerns about, and advised that this tree would be a<br />
candidate if the Heritage Tree Bylaw is enacted.<br />
Healthy viable 75+ yeil old trees could be considered<br />
heritage trees, depending on a number <strong>of</strong> factors. A<br />
draft tree bylaw will go to Council in the new year.<br />
Cosmetic Pesticide use:<br />
The Environmental Planner is working on an internal<br />
policy for cosmetic pesticide use with operations staff<br />
and is meeting regularly to discuss. As the Parks and<br />
Recreation budget is maintained through the Regional<br />
District they must be involved in the process. lt is^.<br />
hoped that a report will come to the December 14"'<br />
meeting <strong>of</strong> council.<br />

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE: JANUARY 14' 2O1O<br />
fiscal year and will not be allowing any new particìpants in the<br />
prográm. The Taxi Saver Program provides Handy DART clients<br />
with a 50% subsidy towards the cost <strong>of</strong> taxi rides when Handy<br />
DART cannot accommodate their travel needs.<br />
. Handy Darl services has increasingly been requested from group<br />
homes it was stated that this service is detrimentalto seniors<br />
and people on disabilities and questioned what the alternatives<br />
are for seniors that cannot book the Handy Dart.<br />
. The purchase <strong>of</strong> smaller busses was discussed. lt was advised<br />

larger busses with limitations to their use.<br />
. John Peck advised that Routes 2 and 3, Pleasant valley and<br />
Alexis Park, are in an overloaded situation and has advised that<br />
BC Transit will be investigating this in their service review.<br />
. The BC Transit Service Review will be creating master plans for<br />
alt areas; once the city <strong>of</strong> Kelowna's review is completed in the<br />
fall <strong>of</strong> 2010, the review will move onto the North okanagan and<br />
<strong>Vernon</strong>.<br />
. There have been issues with dropping Handy Dart customers <strong>of</strong>f<br />
at the Medical Centre on 30th Avenue as there is no where for<br />
the bus to pull <strong>of</strong> to allow the passenger's time to get <strong>of</strong>f.<br />
. <strong>Vernon</strong> Transit has signed a behavioral contract with a problem<br />
traveler who has assaulted two bus drivers in the past. BC<br />
Transit will be monitoring this passenger.<br />
BC TRANS¡T<br />
Steve Harvard, BC Transit reported on the following:<br />
Fairs received were down 5% for this time <strong>of</strong> year which seams to<br />
be a trend across the province. lt was noted that there was a huge<br />
increase in ridership when the price <strong>of</strong> gas went up. when gas<br />
prices dropped again transit didn't loose a lot <strong>of</strong> the riders, transit<br />
was able to attract riders and keep them. lt was also commented<br />
that expenses were 5.5o/o lower than normalfor the same period last<br />
year.<br />
The Taxi Saver program is a separate entity and program which<br />
was meant to supplement the regular Handy Dart service when the<br />
service isn't available. The Taxi Saver programs <strong>of</strong>fers half price <strong>of</strong>f<br />
the regular taxi fair; the problem is that users don't bother to try<br />
booking the Handy Dart and just proceed to call a taxí. lt was<br />
explainãd that this is a big issue that takes away from the spirit <strong>of</strong><br />

the program and maxes the program out.<br />
The'Taxi saver program started with a $50,000 budget this year<br />
with costs up to $47,000 with the fiscal year ending March_ 31-',<br />
2010. Therefore, BC Transit had had to curtail the Taxi Saver<br />
program for rest <strong>of</strong> year in order to come up with a solution.<br />
The question was asked how comments and suggestions regarding<br />
transii can be applied to the transit review. Mr. Harvard advised<br />
that the review w¡it ne a transparent process which will have public<br />
consultation with plenty <strong>of</strong> opportunity for everyone's input'<br />
The Service Review will produce a high level document on what<br />
currently exists and what are best options that BC Transit can be<br />
looking at. BC Transit will do a thorough job to produce a master<br />
plan, úrhich will incorporate the Service Review' The Master Plan<br />
will provide a visioning document as well.<br />
The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Kelowna Master Plan is anticipated to be completed by<br />
Septem-ber/October <strong>of</strong> 2010 at which time the North Okanagan will<br />
begin its Master Plan and Service Review.<br />

MOBILITY SAFETY<br />
It was suggested that an educational campaign be initiated that will<br />
who use scooters or bicycles to be cognizant<br />
"n.out"gäindividuals<br />
<strong>of</strong> peoptä walking and has put the idea out requesting ideas that<br />
could cover the whole safety aspect. The educational campaign<br />
could be held in conjunction with bike to work week' Visibility in<br />
spring and fall is not éo good and need to get people walking on the<br />
siO"w"lts and not the bióycle lanes and get cyclists on the right side<br />
<strong>of</strong> the road. The idea will also be presented to the Greater <strong>Vernon</strong><br />
Cycle Advisory Committee (GVCAC)'<br />
The RCMP has been contacted in order to develop a working<br />
relationship with the <strong>City</strong> to educate the public on traffic safety and<br />
road user safety.<br />
council is currently addressing the crossing times at intersections to<br />
make sure that ihete is enóugh time for the handicapped and<br />
electric vehicles to cross safely'<br />
Rachel Neuhaus, Coordinator, Community Policing will be involved<br />
in bicycle safety education by holding student .bike<br />
rodeos at the<br />
elementary schóols. lt was suggested that the high school students<br />
don't nave good bike skills and would benefit from other high school<br />
students, s-uch as Global Ed, students from Fulton or Seaton's<br />
Environmental Group getting the message out to them. A target<br />
date <strong>of</strong>June 2010 has been proposed'<br />
James Rice, Public Works Manager has advised that sidewalk<br />
maintenance has a budget <strong>of</strong> $35,000 to repair serious sidewalk<br />
problems. lt was explaiñed that the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> spent over $1<br />
rillion last year on sidewalks. Money from the Province may be<br />
received and will go back into the sidewalks budget'<br />

TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE: JANUARY I4' 2O1O<br />

It was pointed out that one parking spot is a loss <strong>of</strong> approximately<br />
$25O,ObO in economic activity. Medical needs need to be priorized<br />
but hearing very loudly that the accumulated loss <strong>of</strong> parking ís<br />
starting to have a result.<br />
Loosing volunteers as an indication <strong>of</strong> having no where to park. lt<br />
was explained that employees and volunteers don't want to use the<br />
parkade because <strong>of</strong> the perception <strong>of</strong> low security; the parkade<br />
needs to be more inviting to use. The parkade will be reviewed in<br />
the parking strategY.<br />
Parking meters are difficult for the handicapped and will also need<br />
to be looked at.<br />
TDM initiatives and getting people walking, biking etc. are all linked<br />
to the TDM function which is trying to get the BC Transit service to<br />
become more <strong>of</strong> a commuter service which will assist with different<br />
íssues. From a TDM perspective our transit service will improve.<br />
Most <strong>Vernon</strong> residents who work downtown would have an<br />
approximate 15 to 20 minute bike ride to work from their homes.<br />
Businesses need to be cognizance <strong>of</strong> more people walking, biking,<br />
and using transit will increase the volume <strong>of</strong> people in the downtown<br />
core who will shop on their lunch hours as they won't have their cars<br />
at work.<br />
The TDM Coordinator would like to do a presentation for the DVA<br />
and Chamber <strong>of</strong> Commerce to show that in other cities, that more<br />
people will come to the downtown are to shop and the downtown<br />
core gets revitalized. Earl Hansen will set up a time for the<br />
presentation with the DVA.<br />
Free parking for Veterans was reviewed. lt was suggested that the<br />
free parking ne adjusted to one month rather than a whole year'<br />
This idea was put forth due to <strong>of</strong> the perception <strong>of</strong> seniors (or<br />
whoever drives their vehicle with the Veteran's plates) park for<br />
extended periods in the downtown area and stay for over the two<br />
hour limit.<br />
Moved by Norm Peters, seconded by Mary Stockdale;<br />
THAT the Transportation Demand Management committee<br />
recommends Council support a reduction from twelve months<br />
to one month <strong>of</strong> the free parking available to vehicles<br />

will receive a delegation <strong>of</strong> the Sister Ci$ Committee'<br />
John Topping provided an update on his proposed Tavullia itinerary.<br />
He has contacted 3 localtravel agents. The cost to visit both cities<br />
would be approximately $5500. The trip could be 10 to 12 days with<br />
different options. ln order to lower the cost to $3100 the Sister <strong>City</strong><br />
Committee would need 44 people to traveltogether to Tavullia. This<br />
would be if we flew into Rome. The travel agents are on hold for<br />
now. John has concerns that the Sister <strong>City</strong> Committee many not<br />
have enough time to fund raise for the trip in the fall <strong>of</strong> 2010.<br />

PROVISIONS<br />
3360-30<br />
The Advisory Planning Board members reviewed the Zoning<br />
Bylaw #5OOO Report with the following points being discussed:<br />
. The <strong>City</strong> Planner provided the history on the original<br />
theory behind the 30%170% strata rental accommodations<br />
ratio for residenUtourist accommodations and the 180 day<br />
and 240 day stay limitation provisions for various tourist<br />
related uses.<br />
. ln April 2006 the <strong>City</strong> revised the DCC bylaw to equalize<br />
the rate for tourist accommodation and permanent<br />
residency units. Prior to then the <strong>City</strong> registered a<br />
covenant on properties outlining the requirement to "top<br />
up" the DCC's payable to the <strong>City</strong> if the accommodations<br />
changed to fulltime residency. This is what initiated<br />
covenants on tourist accommodations to ensure that the<br />
<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vernon</strong> would receive the full DCC payable if the<br />
accommodations changed from short term visits to full<br />
time residency.<br />
406
ADVISORY PLANNING BOARD MEETING HELD TUESDAY, JANUARY 26,2010 PAgC 3<br />
. lt is recommended by staff that those owners that have<br />
not paid their'top up' to change from tourist<br />
accommodations to full time residential will have the<br />
covenant remain in place. The covenants will be<br />
discharged as the DCC top up is paid.<br />
. On several occasions the <strong>City</strong> has been requested to<br />
delete the 30% and70o/o occupancy use ratio provision as<br />
it has been discouraging the development <strong>of</strong> such mixed<br />
use projects.<br />
. The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> Kelowna has removed the 30o/o and70o/o<br />
occupancy use ratio provision as enforcement was<br />
difficult.<br />
. A discussion ensued regarding BC Assessment use<br />
classifications and how they assess strata<br />
accommodation ProPerties.<br />
. lt was noted that a draft <strong>of</strong> the proposed revisions to the<br />
Waterfront Neighbourhood Plan will be presented to the<br />
APB at an up-coming meeting.<br />
Moved by John Lainsbury, seconded by Bruce Beley;<br />
THAT the Advisory Planning Board recommends Council<br />
