REPORT TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL
PRESENTED: FROM: SUBJECT:
FEBRUARY 9, 2009 - SPECIAL MEETING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION METRO VANCOUVER REGIONAL GROWTH STRATEGY
REPORT: FILE:
09-11 6540 - 20
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Council receive this report entitled “Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy”, for information. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Metro Vancouver is in the process of developing an updated Regional Growth Strategy under Part 25 of the Local Government Act. In February, 2008 Council received a report on “Options for Metro Vancouver’s Growth Management Strategy”, and made a number of resolutions that were forwarded to Metro Vancouver. Over the last few months staff have provided Metro Vancouver with comments on maps and policies proposed in a preliminary draft of the growth strategy. A draft of the Regional Growth Strategy is expected to be released for public review in February or March. Staff will review the draft and provide Council with a future report outlining concerns and recommendations; and seek Council direction on mapping and policy issues. The draft strategy is more regulatory than the existing Livable Region Strategic Plan. The maps are not general or conceptual as in the current strategy as they use a parcel-based mapping system. Changes will require amendments by Metro Vancouver Board through either a bylaw or a resolution. This will mean additional time for affected applications to be approved and regional involvement in what are now municipal responsibilities. Staff will continue to work with Metro Vancouver and other local government staff within the region to ensure Township’s concerns are heard and addressed. PURPOSE:
This report updates Council on Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy. Respectfully submitted,
Paul Crawford MANAGER, LONG RANGE PLANNING for COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION
