Staff Report

Origin

As required by the British Columbia Local Government Act, every five years after the Metro Vancouver (MV) Board has accepted Richmond's 2041 Official Community Plan (OCP), Regional Context Statement (November 16, 2012) (Attachments 1 and 2), the City is required to review the OCP Regional Context Statement and advise the MV Board that they have reviewed it and may pursue the following Options:

(1) request that the MV Board reaffirm its acceptance ofthe Regional Context Statement, as the OCP continues to be consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy;

(2) request that the MV Board accept a revised OCP Regional Context Statement, if it is not consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy; or

(3) advise the MV Board that the City will continue to monitor its OCP for consistency with the Regional Growth Strategy and, as necessary, advise the MV Board of any needed OCP Regional Context Statement amendments in the future.

The purpose of this report is to recommend Option 1 - that Council advise the Metro Vancouver Board that the City has completed the required five year OCP Regional Context Statement and, as the OCP continues to be consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy, no OCP Regional Context Statement changes are necessary and the MV Board be requested to reaffirm its acceptance of the City's 2041 OCP Regional Context Statement.

- Goal #8: Economic Development

Review, develop and implement plans, policies, programs and practices to increase business and visitor appeal and promote local economic growth and resiliency.

Findings of Fact

On July 29,2011, Metro Vancouver adopted the 2040 Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy "Shaping Our Future". The MV Board accepted Richmond's OCP Regional Context Statement on November 16, 2012 and Council adopted the 2041 OCP and Regional Context Statement on November 19, 2012.

The City of Richmond fully participated in preparing the MV 2040 Regional Growth Strategy, as the City supports sustainable regional planning in partnership with Metro Vancouver, the other Metro Vancouver 20 local governments (including the Tsawwassen First Nations), and the Fraser Valley and Squamish Regional District Boards.

The City of Richmond was the first MV local government to prepare a comprehensive, revised 2041 OCP and Regional Context Statement. One City objective in assisting in the preparation the MV Regional Growth Strategy was for the City to avoid having to request the MV Board to make Regional Growth Strategy amendments, to accommodate City growth and development: to date, this has been achieved.

Analysis

MV 2040 Regional Growth Strategy Continues to be Useful Note that on March 31, 2017, the MV Board determined that, after conducting a five year review of the MV Regional Growth Strategy, no additional changes were needed, as it is a relatively new plan and continues to serve the MV Board and local governments well. Similarly, City staff consider that the 2041 OCP does not need updating, as it also continues to guide the City appropriate! y.

OCP Regional Context Statement Review Principle In reviewing the OCP Regional Context Statement, the City was guided by the MV Regional Growth Strategy principle that the City's OCP policies need to be consistent, or will be made to be consistent over time with the MV Regional Growth Strategy.

Findings The results of the City's OCP Regional Context Statement review indicate that no OCP Regional Context Statement changes are necessary, as both the MV Regional Growth Strategy and City's OCP were designed to mutually emphasize "sustainability", and complement one another flexibly, and the City has implemented the OCP in a manner which has been consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy.

5575285 CNCL - 134

September 28, 2017 - 4 -

Examples ofthe Findings

The following examples demonstrate how the City's OCP policies and implementation continue to be consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy:

1. Contain urban development within the MV Regional Growth Strategy Urban Containment Boundary (UCB).

- All City growth has occurred within the MV Regional Growth Strategy Urban Containment Boundary (UCB).

- No Agricultural Land Reserve exclusions have occurred.

- City infrastructure servicing (e.g., water, sanitary, drainage) has been within the UCB.

2. Population Growth

- The City's current 218,000 population estimate is well within the 2040 MV Regional Growth Strategy estimate of280,000.

- The City has requested Statistics Canada to review and verify that the City's current population estimate is over 200,000.

3. Focus growth in Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Areas.

- As planned, most City growth has and will occur in the City Centre particularly along the Canada Line as outlined in the City Centre Area Plan (CCAP) which is consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy.

- As per the City Centre Area Plan, with developer support, the City has been provided with more park space, affordable housing, child care, and two community centres.

- In 2012, Council approved high rise developments around the Oval and Canada Line stations and a 631 unit Kiwanis housing project which has 296 affordable housing units.

- In the City Centre, office development continues to be encouraged in non-residential reserves (e.g., near the River Rock Casino, Aberdeen Mall), and by density bonusing incentives (e.g., for "Institutional" uses), when such developments are near the Canada Line.

- The CCAP supports reduced parking requirements, for example by continuing reduced residential and commercial parking requirements (e.g., up to 30% and a further 10% reduction for providing TDM measures within 400 m (1,312 ft.) of the Canada Line).

4. Outside the City Centre, allow lower density development on a limited basis

- The West Cambie Area Plan, Alexandra policies allow modest 1.2 Floor area Ratio (FAR) densities (e.g., the City Centre Area Plan allow +3.0 FAR densities).

- Along Bridgeport Road, OCP Mixed Employment areas allow 1.2 FAR densities.

- The OCP policies enable certain shopping centres to densify to provide a mix of housing types, local-serving commercial activities and good access to transit, at low density (e.g., 1.2 FAR). Such a plan has been approved for the Broadmoor Shopping Centre and

5575285 CNCL - 135

September 28, 2017 - 5 -

the north end has already densified. In 2014, the Hamilton Area Plan was updated which includes policies to increase the population from 5,100 to 12,000 people by 2041. The Plan policies aim to densify the shopping centre, create a High Street along Gilley Road, enable multifamily, seniors and affordable housing, provide a developer funded library, community centre expansion, police office, a child care hub, and a new seven acre park and pier along the North Arm of the Fraser River.

- Along the east side ofNo. 5 Road ("The No.5 Road Backlands) large community institutional uses are allowed (e.g., assemblies, at 0.25 FAR), where the "Backlands" are farmed. In 2017, the City updated the Backlands Policy and incorporated it into the OCP.

5. Increase A Wide Range Of Housing Opportunities

In November 2015, Council adopted bylaws to replace single family Land Use Contracts with normal zoning, to reduce house size massing.

- In 2016 the City updated the OCP Arterial Road Housing Policy to better clarify housing density and where townhouses, triplexes, duplexes, coach houses and rowhouses may occur along certain arterial road outside of the City Centre, to help address housing affordability.

- In 2016, the City embarked on updating its 2007 Affordable Housing Strategy to better meet subsided and low end market needs.

6. Promote Economic Development

- In 2014, the City adopted the Resilient Economy Strategy which sets the City's priority sectors, programs and initiatives to utilize its employment lands in alignment with its location advantages and assets related to the Asia-Pacific Gateway

The City contributed to the long-range planning processes of YVR and the Port of Vancouver who are key stakeholders and employment generators for the community

The City's Employment Lands Strategy protects industrial lands and the City's Agricultural Viability Strategy (currently being updated) protects agricultural lands in Richmond

The City is in the process of exploring an industrial intensification initiative towards better utilization of existing industrial lands

7. Preserve Agricultural Viability

- Council recently enhanced the 2014-2018 Council Term Goals and Priorities by adding a new goal to emphasize the City's commitment to agriculture and fishing: Goal 8 Supportive Economic Development, Priority 3 "The City's agricultural and fisheries sectors are supported, remain viable and continue to be an important part of the City's character, livability, and economic development vision".

- The City supports soil based farming and receives advice from its Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) regarding farm and non-farm proposals in the ALR.

In 2017, the City established agricultural house size and farm floor plate policies.

In 2018, the City anticipates updating the 2003 Richmond Agricultural Viability Strategy.

5575285 CNCL - 136

September 28, 2017 - 6-

8. Transportation

- The CCAP has enabled the City, developers and TransLink to enter into an agreement to have developers within the Capstan Village area make voluntary contributions to fund the $25M (in 2010 dollars) cost to build the Canada Line Capstan Station, the fifth one in Richmond.

- City opposed the scope of the previous George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project (also opposed by Metro Vancouver) and encourages implementation of an improved crossing option that is consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy and the Mayors' Council 10-Year Vision.

9. Energy

- Between 2007 and 2012, the City reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 6% despite a 7% population growth over the same period. The city's densification and active transportation policies, energy programs for existing buildings and district energy utilities have all contributed to this outcome.

- The West Cambie Alexandra District Energy Utility was expanded to serve over 1,100 residential units and 280,000 square feet in other buildings, and includes the first Walmart in North America to be served by a district energy utility.

- Over 1, 100 residential units are connected to the Oval Village District Energy Utility.

- The City's wholly-owned district energy company, the Lulu Island Energy Company, is investigating the feasibility of a City Centre scale utility.

10. Ecological Network

- In 2016, the City's OCP Ecological Network Management Strategy which guides preserving and protecting Richmond's natural areas including riparian and Environmentally Sensitive Areas received the Silver Award for Excellence in Policy Planning from the Planning Institute of BC.

11. Community Safety

- The City has secured $16.6 million in provincial funding to support further improvements to the City's critical network of dikes and pump stations to protect residents against both sea surge and freshet flooding.

- The City's is preparing a new Dike Master Plan, which includes Steveston and the West Dike and its implementation is innovative to ensure that Richmond remains safe from flooding and addresses the long-term impacts of rising sea levels.

- In 2017, the City is currently undertaking City wide Fire- Rescue Study to improve community safety services.

5575285 CNCL - 137

September 28, 2017 - 7 -

12. Looking forward,

In 2018, the City anticipates undertaking the following OCP initiatives which are consistent with the MV Regiomil Growth Strategy and within the Urban Containment Boundary:

Complete the update ofthe City's Affordable Housing Strategy

- Considering a Market Rental Housing Policy.

Exploring how to better manage single family neighbourhoods (e.g., minimize house demolitions, promote house conversions to duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes).

Continuing to replace Land Use Contracts (LUC) with zoning (e.g., for single family and commercial uses, to reduce building massing).

Reviewing with Metro Vancouver how to make better use of the City's employment lands (e.g., a City Land Intensification Initiative).

Updating the Richmond 2003 Agricultural Viability Strategy.

Prohibiting ALR exclusions.

Implementing City's Garden City Lands Plan, a 55.2 hectare (136.5 acre) open space in the Agricultural Land Reserve, in the heart of Richmond.

Summary

In summary, City has been and intends to continue implementing its OCP in a consistent manner with the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy.

Financial Impact

None

Conclusion

City staff have completed the required review of Richmond's 2041 Official Community Plan, Regional Context Statement and, as the OCP continues to be consistent with the MV Regional Growth Strategy, recommend that Council request the MV Board to reaffirm its acceptance of the City's 2041 OCP Regional Context Statement.

Re: GVRD Board Acceptance of the City of Richmond's Regional Context Statement

I am pleased to inform you that the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board formally accepted the City of Richmond Regional Context Statement (RCS) at its November 16, 2012 meeting. Attached is the resolution for your records.

The City of Richmond should be congratulated for developing an excellent Official Community Plan and Regional Context Statement which will inform and influence other municipalities in the region as they update their Regional Context Statements. I have also been informed that City of Richmond staff worked collaboratively and closely with Metro Vancouver staff and this relationship certainly facilitated the RCS development and accept a nee process.

I look forward to continuing to work with the City of Richmond in realizing the goals of the Regional Growth Strategy.

Should you or any of your staff have any further questions please contact Jason Smith, Regional Planner at 778-452-2690.

Yours truly,

Chair, Metro Vancouver Board
