OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW 7100, AMENDMENT BYLAW 10020 AND RICHMOND ZONING BYLAW 8500, AMENDMENT BYLAW 10021 (VANCOUVER AIRPORT AUTHORITY’S PROPOSED AIRPORT ZONING REGULATIONS TO THE CITY CENTRE AREA PLAN AND ZONING BYLAW) |
|
|
Applicant’s Comments: |
|
|
Mr. Craig advised that Vancouver Airport Authority's (VAA) new Airport Zoning Regulations (AZR) will limit the maximum height of buildings and structures in specific areas of Richmond's City Centre. The AZR application that has been submitted to Transport Canada will require amendments to the City Centre Area Plan (CCAP) and Zoning Bylaw to protect the airspace for a possible new future south runway, and some housekeeping amendments to the CCAP regarding the protection of the airspace for the existing north and south runways. |

Discussion: |
|
|
|
|
In response to questions from Council, staff advised that: |
|
|
|
|
§ |
The City successfully negotiated with VAA for a higher building height for selected parcels that would be negatively impacted by the new AZR; |
|
|
|
§ |
The VAA has filed the new AZR application with Transport Canada (TC) and it is expected that VAA will be required to conduct public consultation upon TC’s completion of the technical review of the application; |
|
|
|
§ |
The proposed height reduction will not impact the density currently permitted on the Ebco site; and |
|
|
|
§ |
The landowner has been advised that future rezoning may permit increased density on the Ebco site. |
