|
Item No. 16 – TransLink Policy for Provision of Washrooms on Transit |
|
|
|
Sam McCulligh, Richmond resident, spoke in favour of the staff report, noting support for the addition of washroom facilities at transit locations in Richmond. In response to questions from the delegation regarding accessibility, Mayor Brodie noted that the City has not received formal confirmation regarding the design of the washrooms and that the recommendation on the Agenda includes a letter be sent to TransLink advocating for washrooms at all Canada Line stations in the City and the bus mall. Mr. McCulligh further remarked that hand dryers installed in the washrooms should be as quiet as possible for individuals with sensory sensitivities. |
|
|
|
Item No. 10 – BC Poverty Reduction Coalition’s “ABC” Plan |
|
|
|
De Whalen, Richmond Poverty Response Committee, commended Council for the inclusion of the Poverty Reduction Plan on the Consent Agenda, and further advised of a transit plan being presented to the City of Vancouver that will be presented to Richmond Council in the near future for endorsement. Ms. Whalen further commented on the inclusion of the Living Wage analysis in the staff report and expressed support for continued discussions on the topic. |
|
|
|
In response to queries from Council regarding transit availability for those on income assistance, Ms. Whalen remarked that those on income assistance do not receive transit passes, however, those persons receiving disability benefits do. She further commented that part of the poverty reduction plan would identify transit barriers to employment opportunities or services. |
|
|
|
Item No. 6 (2) – Committee Minutes – Finance Committee Minutes |
|
|
|
Don Flintoff, 6071 Dover Road, spoke to the Finance Committee minutes from the meeting held on January 9, 2019 and queried Council regarding the Five Year Financial Plan and budgets. In response, the Mayor noted the budgets and Consolidated Five Year Financial Plan had been considered at the Finance Committee meeting held earlier that day. |
|
|
|
Item No. 22 – Response to Referral: Additional Dwellings in the Agricultural Land Reserve |
|
|
|
Doug Wright, Richmond resident and farmer, expressed concern regarding the proposed Bylaws noting the importance of the ability of property owners to add additional dwellings for farming operations. Mr. Wright remarked that the additional dwelling provision has allowed him to build an additional residence on his property for family and was of the opinion that the current regulations already have sufficient safeguards, such as the inclusion of a statutory declaration, agrologist report, and a demonstrated need to support farm operations. Mr. Wright also commented that this would only apply to farm parcels 20 acres or greater in size, noting that approximately 7% of farm parcels in Richmond fall within that category. He also stated that the proposed amendments would place an undue burden on families who wish to build additional dwellings. Mr. Wright further expressed concern regarding affordability, noting that the proposed Bylaws would make it more difficult for families to build housing for future generations within the same property to allow for the continuation of farming. |
|
|
|
Item No. 22 – Response to Referral: Additional Dwellings in the Agricultural Land Reserve |
|
|
|
Todd May, co-chair of the Agricultural Advisory Committee (AAC) and president of the Richmond Farmers’ Institute, spoke in opposition to the proposed amendments and provided a chronological summary of the regulations on limiting additional dwellings on agriculturally zoned land. Mr. May commented that the regulation allowing for additional dwellings used to be scaled based on property size and in his opinion worked well in supporting agriculture. He further remarked that following the removal of this provision from the Zoning Bylaw, staff came forward with recommendations on a provision for a second dwelling on agriculturally zoned land, noting that the staff report had been forwarded to the AAC for comment and was adopted by Council. Mr. May further summarized the current regulations on additional dwellings and noted that they allow for one additional dwelling with a number of restrictions in place and only apply to a limited number of properties in Richmond. Mr. May expressed further concern regarding the impact of the proposed Bylaw amendments on future farming operations. |
