The question on the motion was not called as discussion ensued with regard to (i) increasing public awareness on the effect of Metro Vancouver utility rate increases on the City’s rates, (ii) the impact of the proposed rates on local businesses, (ii) accelerating funding dedicated to diking and drainage improvements, and (iv) the impact of climate change on current dike infrastructure.

 

 

In reply to queries from Council, staff noted that a large portion of the proposed increases in utility rates stem from the utility rate increases implemented by Metro Vancouver and that City initiatives such as water metering contribute to overall utility efficiencies.

 

 

Discussion then took place on seeking senior level government support for dike and drainage improvements and minimizing the impact of the proposed rate increases on small businesses.

 

 

As a result of the discussion, the following amendment motion was introduced:

R19/18-13

The question on the motion was not called as discussion ensued with regard to (i) the proposed building height, (ii) the proposed perimeter and tree retention plan, (iii) the proposed number of parking spaces, (iv) concerns related to limited green space, potential shadowing on adjacent properties and the site’s proposed density, and (v) increasing density and higher future transit demand along arterial roads.

 

 

In reply to queries from Council, staff noted that the proposed height and the proposed duplex lots comply with the site’s zoning and the area’s Official Community Plan. Staff added that results of the shadow analysis have indicated that the majority of shadowing is cast on Williams Road.

 

 

As a result of the discussion, the following referral motion was introduced:
