STAFF RECOMMENDATION

That, as per the report from the General Manager, Planning and Development, dated August 28, 2013, titled: Richmond Response: Three Proposed Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) Amendments: Township of Langley (Highway #1 / 200^th Street, Hendricks, North Murrayville), Council advise Metro Vancouver that the City of Richmond:

For the Highway #1 / 200th Street Area, supports proposed Regional Growth Strategy amendment, as it is consistent with the 2040 Regional Growth Strategy and will enable the Township to better meet its long term employment land and development needs;

(2)

For the Hendricks area, notes that the area is in the Agricultural Land Reserve and, in such situations, 2040 RGS Policy 2.3.4 does not enable the MV Board to move the Urban Containment Boundary to locate the area within it, or to re-designate the affected area from RGS Agricultural to another RGS designation;

(4)

Requests that, to improve RGS amendment reviews, Metro Vancouver staff: (a) ensure that future RGS amendment packages are more complete and (b) provide a more comprehensive assessment and an opinion regarding the acceptability of proposed RGS amendments, before they are circulated for comment (e.g., to the MV Regional Planning Advisory Committee, MV Regional Planning and Agricultural Committee, MV Board and local governments).
