REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE CIVIC OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT

ON

SANDMAN CENTRE - PROPOSED LOGE SEATING

PURPOSE To seek Council’s approval to enter into a joint venture with the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Club (KBHC) to construct loge (private balcony style seating) seating at the Sandman Centre. COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN This report supports Council’s goals and objectives regarding: • Economy - diversify, strengthen, and fortify our economy through partnerships and

effective land use planning by continuing to leverage strategic partnerships • Infrastructure - invest in the long-term financial stability of our assets and improve the

overall infrastructure standards of the City by continually improving and utilizing existing facilities

• Livability - ensure Kamloops maintains a high quality of life while meeting the challenge of a growing community by investing in existing assets

SUMMARY Staff and the KBHC have had several discussions regarding constructing loge seating at the Sandman Centre. Staff have completed a conceptual design and cost estimates for this improvement. Loge seating has become a very popular development across North America, and the KBHC and City staff recommend adding 16 loges (for a total of 64 seats) on the upper southwest concourse of the Sandman Centre.

RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize: a) the joint venture with the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Club (KBHC) for

the construction of loge seating at the Sandman Centre b) creating a Capital Project for the Sandman Centre Loge Seating, in

the amount of $292,000, to be funded by the KBHC c) the Corporate Services Director to update the 2018-2022 Five-year

Financial Plan accordingly

SANDMAN CENTRE - PROPOSED LOGE SEATING May 9, 2018 Page 2


COUNCIL POLICY There is no applicable Council Policy. DISCUSSION Staff and the KBHC have had several discussions regarding constructing loge seating at the Sandman Centre. Staff have completed a conceptual design and cost estimates for this improvement (Attachment “A”). Loge seating has become a very popular development across North America, and the KBHC and staff recommend adding 16 loges (64 seats) on the upper southwest concourse of the Sandman Centre. As indicated by the KBHC in its letter to the City (Attachment “B”), the KBHC already has demand for 14 of the 16 loges on a three-year term if the seating is constructed. The cost to purchase a loge suite is $6,350 per year. The KBHC will retain 100% of these proceeds for the first six years, and the City will retain the proceeds from all food and beverage sales from the loge seats. Starting in the seventh year, the City will receive an additional 10% of revenues from the loge sales and continue to retain all food and beverage rights. For the for the first six years of the agreement, the City estimates the food and beverage revenue would be $17,000 per year. This estimate does not include revenue from additional events such as concerts and hockey playoffs, which will significantly increase revenue. In the seventh year of the agreement and beyond, the City will receive $10,160 annually for its share of the loge revenue, based on lease agreement rates. Refer to Attachment “B” for the letter from the KBHC regarding the details of the joint venture agreement. The capital cost of the loge seating improvements is estimated at $292,000, which would be funded entirely by the KBHC, and the project would be managed and constructed by the City’s Capital Projects Division and Trades Division. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The existing upper gondola section currently does not have strong ticket or seasons ticket demand; therefore, it is under utilized for food and beverage sales. Installing loge seating is expected to improve food and beverage sales significantly, as the seats will be occupied by corporate clients and their guests. PERSONNEL IMPLICATIONS This project will be managed and constructed by the Civic Operations Department’s Capital Projects Division and Trades Division. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN If approved, the project needs to be completed by September 2018, before the Western Hockey League’s regular season begins.

REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT

ON

REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00640

6697 BEAVER CRESCENT APPLICANT: GJERNES MANAGEMENT INCORPORATED

OWNERS: THERESA KANNENBERG, LYLE KANNENBERG, AND LINDA MCRAE PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from RS-2 (Single Family Residential-2) to RS-1 (Single Family Residential-1) to permit the subdivision of one lot for residential use. SUMMARY The subject property is located at 6697 Beaver Crescent in Dallas, is zoned RS-2, and is 1,393 m2 in area. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property to create a new lot in order to permit the construction of a single-family dwelling. The existing RS-2 zoning requires a minimum lot area of 929 m2. The proposed subdivision would create a new lot with an area of 508 m2 and a remnant lot with an area of 885 m2; therefore, a zoning amendment is required. As the subject property is a corner lot, the proposed new lot would front and be accessed from Pat Road, while the remnant lot (and existing dwelling) would retain its frontage on and be accessed from Beaver Crescent. The dominant housing type surrounding the property is single family with a variety of lot sizes. The proposed remainder lot has an 885 m2 lot area with 32 m of frontage, which exceeds the RS-1 zoning regulations for both lot area and frontage (Attachment “B”). The proposed rezoning is consistent with the goals and policies of KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan (OCP), which encourages compact urban form and walkable neighbourhoods in order to accommodate population growth and ensure the full utilization of existing service capacity. With the recent adoption of the new OCP, the land use designation of the subject property has been changed from Suburban to Urban. The Urban designation supports diverse housing types and infill development that is compatible with existing land uses to utilize existing infrastructure efficiently. Infill within the Dallas neighbourhood represents the implementation of the new OCP and new land use designations. The subject property meets the criteria for infilling within an Urban-designated area, with access to basic municipal services, low-density public and commercial services, and employment, including a transit stop (within 288 m), Dallas Elementary School (within 1,600 m), and Thompson Park (within 330 m). Given that the Public Hearing process provides an opportunity for neighbourhood residents to provide input on the application, the Development, Engineering, and Sustainability Department supports the application and advises Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.

REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT, ENGINEERING, AND SUSTAINABILITY DEPARTMENT

ON

REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00647

725 YORK AVENUE OWNER: 1151030 BC LTD.

APPLICANT: GRANITE DEVELOPMENTS INC. PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from P-2 (Churches) to RM-2 (Multiple Family - Medium Density) on a site-specific basis to allow a 20-unit, three-storey apartment building. SUMMARY The subject property is located on the south side of York Avenue across the street from Bert Edwards Science and Technology School in North Kamloops. The property is a double-fronting lot that backs onto Courtney Crescent, is 2,323 m2 in area, and is zoned P-2. The property currently contains an institutional building that was previously occupied by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and is currently occupied by a commercial daycare. The applicant wishes to rezone the property to RM-2 on a site-specific basis and demolish the existing building to allow a 20-unit, three-storey apartment building. KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan encourages the development of compact urban form and walkable neighbourhoods with convenient access to transit and daily needs. The property is designated Urban in KAMPLAN. KAMPLAN’s goals for Urban development include supporting diverse housing types where appropriate to the existing form and character of the neighbourhood and supporting infill to efficiently use municipal services. The maximum density generally supported in Urban areas is 125 units/ha. The application is consistent with KAMPLAN as it fills a market niche for one- and two-bedroom apartments in an existing serviced area that is close to transit and amenities. Specifically, the property is situated across the street from a school, 200 m from a bus stop, 110 m from a commercial area, 160 m from a neighbourhood pub, and 400 m from the Rivers Trail. The maximum density permitted under the RM-2 zone is 75 units/ha, which would permit up to 17 units. The applicant is applying to amend the RM-2 zone on a site-specific basis to allow 86.1 units/ha to permit 20 units. This density is well within the maximum 125 units/ha recommended for Urban-designated areas. As all multi-family development is subject to the Multi-family Development Permit Area Guidelines, a Development Permit will be required prior to construction of the proposed apartment building. As the applicant does not wish to undertake the detailed level of design required for a Development Permit without the assurance that zoning will be approved, staff requested that the applicant demonstrate that zoning requirements for building setbacks, floor area ratio, parking, landscape areas, and garbage and recycling pickup can be met for the proposed building. The

Page 24 of 37



applicant’s conceptual site plan (Attachment “A”) shows that these requirements can be met. To ensure that the building is compatible with the scale of the neighbourhood, staff recommend that approval of the rezoning application be subject to the registration of a restrictive covenant limiting the height of the proposed building to three storeys, as the proposed RM-2 zone would permit four storeys. All technical and servicing requirements will be addressed through the Development Permit and Building Permit approval processes. This rezoning application supports multi-family residential development that is consistent with the goals and policies of KAMPLAN. As the Public Hearing provides an opportunity for neighbourhood residents to express their views to Council, staff advise Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.

RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize: a) that Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw No. 5-1-2882 (Attachment “B”)

be introduced and read a first and second time b) a Public Hearing to consider Bylaw No. 5-1-2882 Note: The above noted bylaw amendment will be held at third reading pending registration of a restrictive covenant limiting the height of the building to a maximum of three storeys.

SPECIAL VOTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2018 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTION

PURPOSE To provide Council with additional information related to mobile poll special voting opportunities for the October 20, 2018, General Local Election. COUNCIL STRATEGIC PLAN This report supports Council’s goals and objectives regarding: • Governance - be recognized for excellence in public service in local government by

ensuring the fullest accessibility in voting opportunities SUMMARY At the May 8, 2018, Regular Council Meeting, to ensure that all eligible voters in Kamloops have an opportunity to participate in the 2018 General Local Election, Council directed staff to include mobile poll special voting opportunities at select locations. A mobile poll is a special voting opportunity where a team of election officials move from one location to another as a way to facilitate voting by those who may not be able to travel to a standing voting location. The addition of mobile polls as special voting opportunities will require an additional $5,000 to cover labour and supplies. As the actual costs for the election expenses are still an estimate, there may be some funds available within the existing budget to cover the costs of mobile polls; however, staff recommend allocating additional funds from the Council Contingency budget to be used if required. Every effort will be made to ensure that mobile poll special voting opportunities are offered at the same locations as in past elections. Mobile poll locations in past elections have included: • Ridgeview Lodge, 920 Desmond Street • Pine Grove Care Centre, 313 McGowan Avenue • RiverBend Seniors Community, 760 Mayfair Street • Chartwell Ridgepoint Retirement Residence, 1789 Primrose Court • The Hamlets at Westsyde, 3255 Overlander Drive • Shores Retirement Residence, 870 Westminster Avenue • Overlander Residential Care, 953 Southill Street • Chartwell Kamloops Retirement Residence, 628 Tranquille Road • Berwick on the Park, 60 Whiteshield Crescent South • Kamloops Seniors Village, 1220 Hugh Allan Drive • Ponderosa Lodge, 425 Columbia Street • Royal Inland Hospital, 311 Columbia Street

Dear Mayor Christian,

Thanks for sharing your time with us on May 3rd at your office. Your reflections with us were

very encouraging to us as we forge ahead with our 2018 Program. Your knowledge about the

challenges to salmon, our companions in this journey, was helpful.

For Council, I would like to review our history:

For 25 years, The Adams River Salmon Society has played a celebratory role in the quadrennial

salute to the sockeye when the species returns to the place of their birth to spawn. As many are

aware, the species is facing serious challenges. Celebration can no longer be the sole reason for

the society’s existence. The threat has meant the evolution of a number of initiatives in

education, conservation, advocacy in the public arena and bridging with our indigenous

neighbors.

We would like to draw four of these initiatives to your attention: 1) In the education sphere, we are holding a conservation contest in four school districts to

reach 30,000 students. The contest is called “Help call the salmon home”. This resonateswith a common yearning, calling the people home.

2) Our Interpretative Cabin at Roderick Haig-Brown Park will be open all summer andeducational tours will be available for visitors. Fisheries and Oceans Canada is helping withtraining.

3) We are hosting a symposium called “Shuswap Salmon Symposium 2018” in partnershipwith Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band. Experts in western science will blend their ideaswith traditional knowledge-keepers from First Nations communities. The symposiumemphasizes the head-heart connection in tackling the issues. I suggested to you thatengineers and biologists use drones and underwater cameras to study the motion of thefish. The elder, on the other hand, stands at the edge of the river, holding the hand of hisgranddaughter. She says to him, “Why do they dance like that?” He answers her, “I thinkthey are happy to be home. If I were away four years, I’d be happy to be home too.” The

answers of science are satisfying but the images that arise from the stories haunt us. Both perspectives are valid.

4) Finally, the salute expects to attract 150,000-200,000 visitors to a wide region. William Bakker of Destination Marketing has said that Salmon in the Shuswap is our collective regional brand, covering a lot more than just the Adams watershed. He also said that if you are not remarkable, you are invisible. Therein is our direction. The salute must be remarkable. We have to make a shift in people’s experience from a selfie or photo-op to something that is truly transformational. Lives and thinking have to be changed if we are all to make a shred of difference in the conservation of the species.

I would like to remember the young woman who stands at river’s edge. She holds her infant to

her chest and in that moment bonds with a creature in the water. She knows what it is to tuck

her infant in for the night but she sees the salmon struggle to tuck her fertilized eggs into the

gravel crunch for the winter as the creature’s own DNA becomes part of the environment.

We have a huge amount of work before us and we need warm bodies, expertise and financial

resources to bring about our objectives as we shift from being a special interest society to

something more like a movement.

Our ask of you is to give us a letter of support, to have a Council Motion that declares October

to be Salute to Sockeye Month, and we would appreciate financial support in the amount of

$10,000 toward the Symposium joining us in partnership with Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band.

The salmon need the efforts of all citizens throughout the entire watershed.

Thank you for helping call the salmon home. Respectfully,

Don Paterson President The Adams River Salmon Society
