Delegations from the floor on Agenda items.

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

Francis Wong, Vancouver resident and representative of the Archdiocese of Vancouver, was concerned with the proposed changes to the Official Community Plan’s (OCP) definition of ‘Community Institutional’.  Mr. Wong was of the opinion that the proposed changed would be unfair and be an onerous imposition to religious groups.  He also believed that there was not adequate consultation with the public or with affected parties.  Mr. Wong suggested that Council initiate consultation with Richmond’s religious groups.

 

 

Item No. 22 – Update on Nelson Road-Highway 91 Interchange - Proposed City of Richmond Contribution

 

 

Bill Zylmans, 17771 Westminster Highway, representing the Farmers Institute and the Richmond Agricultural Advisory Committee, spoke in support of the proposed project as he believed it would benefit the surrounding neighbourhood, businesses, and farming community in East Richmond.

 

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

Curtis Green, 8311 Aspin Drive, spoke in opposition to the proposed OCP amendment and stated that affordable housing falls under senior levels of government’s mandate and not churches.  He commented that most churches are registered non-profit / charitable organizations and not subject to particular taxes as they provide a community benefit.  Mr. Green noted that the current policy demonstrates flexibility and the proposed amendment would place too much burden on churches.  He concluded by suggesting that the public be consulted on this matter to arrive at a more equitable approach.

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

David Boram, 8811 Heather Street, spoke of the 9051 Dayton Avenue property and noted that this property was purchased at full market value.  Mr. Boram was opposed to the proposed OCP amendment as he believed the proposal would limit the property’s value.  He suggested that the church should be able to now sell the property at full market value.

 

 

Item No. 13 – Application by Selby Property Investments (1983) Ltd. for Rezoning at 10211 St. Edwards Drive to Permit a Licensee Retail Store (Private Liquor Store)

 

 

Rob Toor, Corporate Counsel for the applicant, reviewed his client’s proposal and requested that the matter be referred back to staff in order to further facilitate dialogue with the neighbourhood.  Mr. Toor advised that his client has a conditional Licensee Retail Store (LRS) and the proposed liquor store would have no direct access to exterior doors.  He also spoke of issues raised by neighbours and advised that his client is prepared to register a covenant that the LRS would not be relocated.  Mr. Toor again requested that his client’s rezoning application be referred back to staff in order for his client to engage a facilitator in an effort to address the concerns of neighbours.  Mr. Toor read a submission (copy on file, City Clerk’s Office).

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

Ken Clausen, 6671 Whiteoak Drive, advised that he was not aware of the proposed OCP amendment until very recently and noted that many people do not understand what is being proposed.  He indicated that more time was needed so that the broader community could become more informed.

 

 

Item No. 13 – Application by Selby Property Investments (1983) Ltd. for Rezoning at 10211 St. Edwards Drive to Permit a Licensee Retail Store (Private Liquor Store)

 

 

Trish Langston, member of the Caithcart Residents Association, provided background information and spoke of many concerns the Association has with the proposed rezoning.  Ms. Langston urged Council to deny the proposed rezoning.  She stated that the Association does not trust that the applicant will complete any of the work proposed for the neighbourhood and that they feel there is no opportunity to reconcile the situation.

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

Craig Boram, 9055 Dayton Avenue, spoke of churches’ need for flexibility and stated that the proposed OCP amendment would take away that flexibility.  He commented that the sustainability of church properties needs to be considered and was of the opinion that there must be another solution that does not limit or hinder a church’s ability to grow, expand or relocate.

 

 

Item No. 12 – An Enhanced OCP “Community Institutional” Definition and New Policy to Better Manage “Religious Assembly Uses”: OCP Amendment Bylaw No. 8533

 

 

Garth Robertson, 9411 Francis Road, Director of the Vancouver Gospel Society, acknowledged that affordable housing is needed but questioned whose responsibility it was to provide it.  Mr. Robertson suggested that the matter be referred back to staff to have staff investigate (i) leaving the bylaw “as-is” with flexibility; (ii) the needs of congregations; (iii) the feasibility of requiring 10% to 15% non-market housing for all future rezoning applications; and (iv) market-rental housing as an option.
