IMPRESSIONS OF SYMPOSIUM AND AWARDS EVENT
At one of the first presentations, Mark Cullen, Home Hardware's Gardening Expert,
spoke of how C in B answers the questions: Why do we garden and why is C in B a good thing for Canada?
As he spoke, he alluded to the unifying aspects of the C in B program; e.g. we are
developing pride of community; we are acquiring many similar values (such as
environmental awareness and heritage); and we are gathering at events like this to
learn from each other and are inspired by one another's efforts.
Coincidentally, just that morning before breakfast I had been listening to John Turner
on TV in an interview by Peter Mansbridge. Turner has stated that Canada was a
difficult country to govern, and he cited geography and language differences as a
couple of factors.
However, he qualified his remark by saying that "...other things were unifying factors
for Canada; e.g. compromise, things of the heart, and feelings. I recalled his words the
next day as I heard witnessed the awards ceremony. I believe volunteering has a
unifying effect on a community as we work toward a common good and find we share
similar values, like tidiness, heritage, and a tidy city.
All this was so well illustrated in Quebec City. First of all, the 'language barrier" was
overcome with bilingual commentators and chairpersons or simultaneous, electronic
translations. Furthermore, despite differences in geography, each area of our country
has its own challenges. This was illustrated by communities who had entered the
National competition but who had suffered from one of a long list of natural disasters
such as flooding, tornado or hurricane. In Brandon, for example, they were able to
replace almost all the floral exhibitions before the judges arrived. In Ontario, a
community provided hanging basket replacements to town that was in their own
competitive category.
Two other words came to my mind as the gathering was nearing its end: RESPECT and
INCLUSIVENESS. These behaviours were illustrated in so many ways, as in respect for
language: I heard few complaints about the electronic translations or the repetition of
commentaries in two languages; respect for other countries: Scotland England, Ireland
Japan and the US were in attendance. The US program head of America in Bloom
thanked Canada for assisting them to get started. Even the entertainment highlighted
these two concepts. A trio of Aboriginal women sang, including a version of 0 Canada
that was soul-stirring! Three African drummers were accompanied by a bagpipe player.
Quebec itself is a stunning example of heritage values most of us cherish. One specific
example was our final venue, Theatre Le Capitole which is a restored performance
9
5
center providing visitors with an historic ambiance. For our event it was set up as
dinner theatre. After the awards, twenty Quebecois children played violins and three
Quebecois men entertained with guitar, bass, fiddle and song. A great "note" on which
to conclude the Quebec City Symposium and Awards event.
NOTE: I kept a daily diary of my time in Quebec City and will be happy to share more details of these presentations at the Society's regular meetings.
POSSIBLE MISSION PROJECTS
1. Murals (Trail, BC) 2. School Gardens (Brampton, Ontario) 3. Inter-Generational Community Gardens (Toda, Japan) 4. Public Art in Parks (Castlegar, BC)

e. Some participants are looking for folders of information.
f. Book table space early with National organizers.
g. Electrical outlet is not necessary.
h. Make sure your luggage has space for the return trip in which to pack your collection of information/handouts from the event.

Background
This is the sixth year the Staff Fees and Charges Working Group (Group) have met to discuss the District's user fees and charges. The Group has representation from Corporate Administration, Finance, Engineering, Library, Public Works, Inspection Services, Planning, Fire and RCMP. The Group was created to proactively review and adjust existing fees and charges on an on-going basis and to examine and implement other non-property tax based revenue sources. The goal is to lessen the reliance on property taxes to offset the increased cost of doing business.
This year, each department has reviewed their proposed 2012 and 2013 user fees and charges, and in some cases, are proposing a 4% increase to offset the increasing labour cost of providing the services (see recommendation #1 and recommendation #2). Other amendments include:
♦ Removing the column heading reference of "2011" from those bylaws where the rates/fees are not requesting an increase for 2012 and replacing it with the reference "Effective 2011".
♦ Introducing new fees (see table below)
♦ Minor changes (see table below)
♦ Changes to Bylaw 3612-2003 include fee increases, new fees, and restructuring of fees. The report from the Planning department (see attached) explains in detail, the changes they are proposing for the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw.
New Fees Proposed for 2012

MDISTRICT OF
/40°, /1°°°#''' ON THE FRASER
Planning Department Memorandum
3'3
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON
To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Planner
Date: November 7, 2011
Subject: Update to Land Use Application Procedures and Fees for 2012 and 2013
Recommendation
That the following report be received for information
Background
Schedule A of the District of Mission Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-2003 outlines the various application fee and charges for the wide range of services that the Planning Department provides to the public. As policies, bylaws, and procedures change over time, it is important to update this bylaw to keep it current with changing circumstances. Furthermore, based upon a review of the staff time and resources required to process various land use applications and provide other miscellaneous services, it is important that these fees be updated to reflect the department's costs.
Overview of Proposed Changes to Schedule A of the Land Use Application Procedures and Fees Bylaw 3612-2003
Rezoning
1. Delete the two-tiered fee structure for single-family residential rezoning applications and create one fee category for single family and two-family residential rezoning applications;
2. Clarify the wording for secondary dwelling unit applications (to add "s" to current zone where permitted); and,
3. Amend the fee for "all other" rezoning applications to be consistent with the fee for single-family and two-family residential rezoning applications.
Official Community Plan Amendment
4. Clean up the text for Official Community Plan amendments by including brackets for any explanatory notes; and,
5. Amend the fee for OCP amendments with rezoning to better reflect the costs for staff time and public notification.
Permits
6. Break out the fees for Development Permits by type;
7. Create a stand-alone category for Commercial and Residential Mixed Use Development Permits;
8. Create sub-categories under Intensive Residential Development Permits for:
o Neighourhood Form and Character DPs that run concurrently with Rezoning and Subdivision Applications
o Intensive Residential Design Review for those properties that are subject to a previously approved Neighbourhood Form and Character DP/Restrictive Covenant
9. Infill Residential DP for properties within the OCP Infill Residential Development Permit Area (Area "A" on OCP Map 5);
10. Increase fee for Hazardous Lands/Environmental to better reflect the staff time required for reviewing technical studies and the need for consulting with internal departments and outside agencies (Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Ministry of Environment);
11. Provide further clarification to the "Development Variance Permit — basic" category by specifying that this only includes variances to the Zoning Bylaw; and,
12. Add a new category for Temporary Use Permit Extensions and Renewals. The fee reflects half of the cost of a TUP since a significant portion of the work required to process these permit extensions/renewals will have been done by staff as part of the initial TUP review.
Request for Council Resolution
13. Add a new section for Bylaw Variance Requests where applicants would like to vary a bylaw other than the Zoning Bylaw (for example, the Subdivision Control Bylaw); and,
14. Include Site Specific Exemption from Floodplain Management Bylaw under the new Request for Council Resolution section.
Miscellaneous Fees
15. Add "Fee" to the title of this section in order to provide more clarification;
16. Provide consistency between the District of Mission fee for liquor license inquiries and the liquor license application categories used by the Liquor Control and Licensing Board (LCLB). For instance, distinguishing applications according to request for new Liquor Primary Licence Applications, Liquor Primary Licence Amendments, and Food Primary Licence Amendments;
17. Reduce the fee for Change of Owner/Applicant on a development application file from $348 to $100. Changing this information can be performed quickly by administrative staff and the departmental costs are substantially lower than the current fee;
18. Change Downtown Façade Review to Commercial Façade Review to include other commercial properties outside of the downtown area where a change in the façade may have an impact;
19. Provide a new fee category for Legal Document Amendment/Discharge. This would address requests such as the removal of a right-of-way/easement on a property which may no longer be required and/or applicable;
34
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON [Click here to type EFS File Folder Name]
20. Specify under the "Request by Developer for Staff Attendance at a Public Information Meeting" that the cost per staff member is hourly; and,
21. Remove the "Request for List of Property Owners/Addresses (cost per acre) since the DOM does not provide information on residents to protect the privacy of its residents.
All of the above-noted changes have been highlighted in Appendix A of this report. The far right column of Appendix "A" shows the corresponding item number as outlined above. Any proposed changes and/or additions are highlighted in bold text and any deletions are shown as strike-through text. The italicized text indicates a 4% increase in fees for 2012 and 2013 for those categories where no changes have been proposed. The fees indicated in bold have also been adjusted with 4% increases for 2012 and 2013 but are distinguished differently in order to highlight more significant changes that are proposed by staff for Schedule A.
In summary, these proposed changes will allow staff to continue to provide services to the public by having a fee structure that better takes into account District of Mission resources. Furthermore, the proposed changes will make it easier for the public to determine which services they require for their various development inquiries through a more simplified and straightforward fee structure.

ON THE FRASER Economic Development
Memorandum
File Folder: G:\Economic Development\Council\Open for Business Signage 11-24-11.docx
To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Economic Development Officer
Date: November 24, 2011
Subject: Economic Development "Open for Business" Signage
Recommendation
No recommendation accompanies this report.
Background
As directed by Council on November 21, 2011, the following two scenarios outline potential locations, costs and sources of funds pertaining to the placement of a billboard sign(s) with the messaging that conveys Mission is "open for business":
1. Jim Pattison billboard sign locations: a. Location: Jim Pattison Signs has confirmed that there are two possible highway approved
billboard locations: i. Silvermere Lake: Three billboards (six facings: 3 east/3 west) approximately 700m
east of 287th St. that all offer a 10' x 20' illuminated billboard. ii. Abbotsford/Mission Highway: Three billboards (six facings: 3 east/3 west)
approximately 1km south of the Mission Bridge that all offer a 10' x 20' illuminated billboard.
b. Cost: The cost for a 1-year rental contract is $3,920/month plus signage production and installation, which is approximately $600. These costs are exclusive of taxes. Longer term pricing discounts apply for commitments greater than 18 months. A price of $2,632/month has been confirmed for a longer term commitment of 18 to 24 months for one sign. Should two signs be pursued (Abbotsford/Mission Hwy. and Silvermere Lake), a cost has been provided at $1,842/sign per month ($3,684/mth).
c. Funding Source: In discussion with the finance department, there are two potential funding sources identified for this initiative that are dependent on the duration and location of the billboard sign(s). The two sources are:
i. Operational: Should placement of a billboard sign(s) be pursued, placement of the signage for a period greater than 12 months would warrant consideration as an operational expense and would be forwarded for budget consideration.
ii. Gaming Reserve Fund: Placement for a period of less than 12 months would offer opportunity for consideration for payment under this reserve fund; however, this fund is limited in capacity due to existing commitments through 2012.
2. Custom signage production and private land placement and rental: a. Location: There is one private non-ALR land-owner on Highway 7 west of the RCMP office
that is willing to negotiate a billboard placement. There are currently no confirmed non-
Page 1 of 2
ALR locations along Highway 11; however, this is not to imply that sites have not been identified:
b. Cost: i. Space Rental: The cost for a 1-year rental contract is anticipated to be $500/month
per sign. These costs are exclusive of taxes. Longer term pricing discounts do not apply.
ii. Sign Production: Based on an estimate from a local sign manufacturer, the cost to professionally manufacture a 10' x 20' billboard sign frame will be $1,600. Foundation footings and install of the billboard frame would be approximately $3,100. Power connection is still somewhat uncertain, but is estimated at $1,500. Illumination (lighting) will be approximately $1,500. Ad design and placement is approximately $1,800. Total production and installation cost approximately $9,500. All figures exclusive of taxes. Ongoing maintenance is not factored into the figure.
c. Funding Source: In discussion with the finance department, there are two potential funding sources identified for this initiative that, as with the first option, are dependent on the duration and location of the billboard sign(s). The two sources are:
i. Operational: Should placement of a billboard sign(s) be pursued, placement of the signage for a period greater than 12 months would warrant consideration as an operational expense and would be forwarded for budget consideration.
ii. Gaming Reserve Fund: Placement for a period of less than 12 months would offer opportunity for consideration for payment under this reserve fund; however, this fund is limited in capacity due to existing commitments through 2012.
3. Summary a. MOTI will not allow billboard signage on agriculture land along the highway corridor. This
limits placement to private non-ALR land or spots currently approved (Pattison billboard signs).
b. The summary of Pattison Signs cost options (excluding taxes) for the above options are: i. One Year with Pattison Signs (1) = $3,920/mth + $600 ad production = $47,640 ii. 18 months with Pattison Signs(1) = $2,632/mth + $600 ad production = $47,976 iii. 18 months w/2 Pattison Signs(2) = $1,842/mth + $600 ad production = $67,512 iv. 24 months with Pattison Signs (1) = $1,842/mth + $600 ad production = $44,808 v. 24 months w/2 Pattison Signs (2) = $1,842/mth + $600 ad production = $89,616
c. The summary of private land placement and sign production (excluding taxes): i. Sign production & install = $7,700 + Ad production = $1,800 = $9,500 ii. Annual private landowner lease = $500/mth = $6,000/annum
1. First Year = $9,500 signage & ad production + $6,000 lease = $15,500 2. Second and subsequent years = $6,000 lease + $2,200 power* + $2,000
new/replacement ad = $10,200 per sign, or $20,400/annum for operation of two signs. Maintenance not included in estimate. *Power for illumination is subject to location and may not be available, thus reducing operational cost.

Memorandum
40
To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Deputy Chief Administrative Officer
Date: November 21, 2011
Subject: Gaudin Creek Diversion Project Review
Recommendation
That Council receives and endorses the recommendations contained within this report
Background
At the regular council meeting on October 24, 2011 a report by the Chief Administrative Officer was received that advised Council that a review of the Gaudin Creek Diversion Project would be undertaken by the Deputy CAO to identify how and why there were project budget overruns without prior approval of Administration and Council.
The review was immediately initiated and was conducted by an examination of contract documents, policy analysis, financial analysis, best practices guidelines review and a series of staff interviews over the past 3 weeks.
I will premise this review by saying the financial findings for the Cedar Street project are deliberately presented in the form of a range as my confidence factor in the tracking of project costs is extremely low. At the time of writing this report the estimates of costs on one project changed daily by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Project Overview:
The Gaudin Creek Diversion Project is identified as a much needed capital project for the District as it opens up significant development opportunities that would otherwise be delayed and it utilized the remaining federal and provincial funding of the Cedar Street widening project. The consideration and design of the project started off in a much hurried manner in order to seize a funding opportunity that had a limited window. This funding opportunity was the underutilized grant funding of the much larger project known as the Cedar Street Widening project which had a deadline of October 31, 2011.
In an effort to get the project up and running in this short period the draft design by the consultant was taken in house and an updated design was produced. Given the tight timelines, the design reviews was not extensive nor were the design assumptions confirmed. The hurried pace continued with the development of the tender documents and with key personnel on annual vacation normal checks and reviews were not completed in the same manner.
The bid review and contract award was again hurried and any potential "red flags" identified in the bid review process were overlooked. In addition, key personnel that would normally be there, were not involved with this process.
Project start up and construction proceeded as most projects do and a variety of onsite challenges began to manifest themselves. The discovery of the water commission's regional high pressure 400mm water main, which was inaccurately detailed on as built drawings, was only part of one of the many construction
Page 1 of 4
issues discovered that were inaccurately detailed. While discrepancies between design and actuals are expected the number and severity were significantly higher than normal.
Despite these discrepancies the project continued as solutions were employed as quickly as possible. If Council recalls, it was at this time that this project was brought to light over concerns of timing as Cedar Street was now closed and worked had come to a standstill.
Again the project was in hurry up mode as business and residents were being increasingly affected as the project construction lagged behind schedule. The project had now become very visible in the public eye and the urgency to open the road added to the cost challenges.
On October 24, 2011 a report was presented to Council identifying the additional costs and challenges that had to be overcome to complete the project.
Review Findings:
1) Project timing. This project had a high probability of construction and cost challenges as there were unrealistic timelines from inception, design, review, tender, through to award. The construction phase however was well within a realistic time period despite the concerns otherwise (effective communication would have addressed many of the timing issues raised). It is not uncommon for projects to have short timelines and be delivered on budget and timelines if there is a proper project management system in place. There is no project management structure or charter utilized consistently within the district.
2) Limited staff involvement. The involvement of key engineering staff in capital projects is essential; especially with in house design. While this project was on an accelerated time frame, many projects do not utilize district expertize. The use of a "Project Team" that is made up of designers, inspectors, managers and financial representatives at the project inception is a best practice.
3) Project risk assessment. This project did not have a risk assessment undertaken to determine what the likelihood of cost management challenges could be reasonably expected. The contingency assigned to this project was not representative of the project potential challenges and as such quickly ran into budget issues.
4) Project accountability. This project was not effectively assigned to a project manager and the perception was that someone else was looking after the costs and managing the budget. Although I am quite confident there was a project manager responsible the individual did not agree that was their role.
5) Project management. This is the most critical finding of this report. There is no one project management system being employed within the district. Each project has its own system and is, in my opinion, fragmented and subjected to unreliable results. While the daily tracking of costs and general project administration (tracking of change work orders, daily logs and correspondence) is very good, the understanding of the overall budget tracking and implications is unacceptable and unreliable. There is no system in place that will permit the tracking of project budgets at given milestones. The project management system currently being used or lack of system has been extremely challenging in reviewing this project as it took several days to get up to date budget information (it should be noted that this was not the case in previous years as had other systems that worked quite well). In addition it is my opinion that a proper project management system would also address many of the issues raised in this report. The challenge of not utilizing project initiation checklists as well as other project check and balances was a key reason this project was challenging.
6) Other projects. It became apparent quite quickly that the lack of an effective project management system in place raised concerns on other projects that were underway or not finalized and as such the review went beyond this one project.

a. Railway Avenue. This project is for the most part complete and is expected to have an approximate 10k surplus from the last update budget presented to Council.
b. Silverdale. This project is proceeding reasonably well and is expected to be within budget, at this time, other than the acquisition of land for right of ways. The works that are anticipated by this project are not completely within a secured right of way and as a result additional funding will be required to obtain that right of way. The estimate is approximately 40k and will be taken from another reserve. It is not that unusual to come across unsecured right of ways in older communities as formalization of old trails into roads occurs over a long period. Thus older roads are never properly dedicated.
c. Clegg Street. This project update has been presented to Council at a regular meeting. Engineering staff had found technical issues after further field survey work which resulted in the need for additional funds in the order of 186K. It must be stressed that this project did follow the proper procedure and a report was sent to Council with options for consideration before it proceeded further.
d. Cedar Street Widening. This is the parent project for which the remaining grant funding was intended to be used to undertake the Gaudin Creek Diversion project. The review of the current status of this project has been exceedingly frustrating.
i. In late October engineering staff indicated there were change orders received that had not been included in the remaining budget calculation for the overall project. Engineering staff were instructed to determine what if any of these change orders claims had on the overall Cedar Street budget. Over the course of the next two weeks the Engineering staff met with the contractor and the external project consultant several times and just prior to November 10 had concluded there was likely a minor 8k overrun.
ii. In this last week to 10 days the project budget has gone from an increase in reported costs of 8K, just prior to November 10 (the long weekend), to 120k on November14, with a further increase to 340K on November 17, to 435k late Friday afternoon on November 18. At the time of writing this report I am still not confident as to the final budget other than to say we will be looking at other options related to project accountability in this regard. Having said that, this lack of budget clarity speaks to the serious issues we have with our project management program. A report by the Director of Engineering and Public Works on the final costs will come forward once a detailed review has definitively verified the final costs.
In my review it is apparently clear that there was a lack of understanding of budget management and how we track, approve and report project costs at the project management level in the Engineering Department.
My review also identified a number of procedural issues such as communication with affected parties, project referrals and safety considerations in and around the project. I did not specifically list all of these findings as I feel the recommendations, if followed, will address those findings.
Recommendations:
1) Initiate a structural change to the engineering department whereby reporting and accountability is clear. Under the current organizational structure the accountability lines for project management is unclear. In addition the current structure does not facilitate full involvement of engineering staff without overstepping lines of authority.
42

a. Immediately initiate a staff team to research, develop, institute (includes educate) a project management program for the district. This staff team should be led by the manager of Environmental Services and include representatives from Finance, Public Works and Engineering.
b. Change the Engineering Department structure to facilitate the inclusion of key engineering staff in all capital projects. Add responsibilities to qualified engineering staff to undertake the development of project management procedures along with other special projects as needed to improve operational certainty and efficiency
c. Develop a policy and procedure for project management
d. Establish a series of special projects beginning with the development of a draft project management program. Develop and prepare a draft tendering and bidding procedure. Develop and prepare standardized project checklists.
2) Assignment project management responsibilities on each capital project and the appropriate authority to manage those projects.
3) Develop a project risk assessment matrix with appropriate contingency guidelines
4) Develop and establish a project reporting procedure that provides regular updates for Finance and Administration.
Conclusion:
I have completed a moderately in-depth review of the Gaudin Creek Diversion Project and partial review of other capital projects being managed by the Engineering department. In my findings I believe there is a lack of accountability and awareness of expect municipal project management practices. I would like to emphasize that the engineering department has some very talented and dedicated employees and with effective leadership and processes, the likelihood of a repeat of this situation is extremely low.

Summary of Proposal
The proposal from the Fraser Health Authority is to develop two new facilities on the site (Map 1).
The two facilities to be developed include:
1) A Campus of Care for seniors with 200 beds for people with complex 24/7 care needs and a day program for older adults. This facility will add 25 per cent more residential care beds, replacing out of date buildings with a modern facility with single occupancy room and several "neighbourhoods" which allow residents close access to essentials services including meals, amenity space and clinical staff.
2) A Community Health Centre that, at a minimum, will be a 2500 m2 (27,000 sq. ft.) facility with programs including primary care, a diabetes and senior clinic, public health, home health, mental health and substance abuse, and lease space for community partners such as physicians and retailers. This building may also include commercial retail space and the ability to include a residential component.
It is proposed that the Campus of Care will replace the existing residential facility and the Community Health Centre will be a new facility on the site. The successful proponent will provide preliminary drawings and locations chosen for the facilities by the public hearing date.
To facilitate development of these two facilities, a new comprehensive development zone will be created that will be based on the existing Institutional Care Zone. The applicant is planning to consolidate all six parcels into one lot; however, depending on the plans of the successful proponent, a new lot may be created for the Community Health Centre.
Background
The proposed community health project is a major achievement for the Community Health Plan that was developed in 2008 between Fraser Health Authority, Fraser Valley Regional District and the District of Mission and is a realization of two of the 15 Recommended Options for Implementation of the Plan.
The proposal is a combination of Option 7 (Multi-Purpose Interdisciplinary Health Centre) and Option 8 (Campus of Care for Seniors Living) identified in the Community Health Plan. The goal of these projects is to improve access to health care services in the Fraser Valley by locating a range of services in one geographic area adjacent to Fraser's Health's Mission Memorial Hospital.

Site Description
The subject site compromises six (6) parcels owned by the Fraser Health Authority, totalling 8.13 hectares (20.08 acres). The existing uses on the property include the Mission Memorial Hospital, an ambulance station, a 76 bed residential care facility, parking and open space.
Map 2 shows the topography and location of watercourses on the site. The majority of the eastern portion of the site is encumbered with steep slopes and watercourses, thus, the applicant was required to submit reports to address the geotechnical and environmental setbacks. Reports received from Golder Associates and from Scott Resource Services Inc. recommended a setback from the crest of the slope and as well as environmental setbacks for the watercourses. Although both reports recommend setbacks, the impact on the buildable area is limited and does not encroach into the existing building site.
Official Community Plan Designation
Four of the six properties are designated Institutional in the Official Community Plan and therefore do not require an Official Community Plan amendment. However, two properties, 7348 and 7338 Hurd Street (Map 3) (currently used for parking), are designated Urban Compact/Multiple Family and therefore require re-designation to Institutional to be consistent with the proposal of the remainder of the site.
Zoning
The new Comprehensive Development 26 zone (CD26), (Appendix 1) is based on the existing Institutional Care Zone. The intent of the existing zone is to accommodate care facilities for people requiring specialized healthcare. The new Comprehensive Development zone will include the same institutional uses but will also include further commercial and residential uses as part of the principal uses. The intent of this is to allow as much flexibility as possible for the design proponents to create a Community Health Care facility that serves the needs of Mission residents in one centralized location and to complement the site and neighbourhood in general.
Analysis of Proposal
Site Description
The subject site currently consists of the Mission Hospital, a 76 bed care facility, an ambulance station, parking and open space. This area has a gentle slope ranging from 5%-9% as per the geotechnical hazard assessment report from Golder Associates.
There is a large ravine and watercourse on the eastern edge of the property requiring a setback from the crest of the slope and from the top of bank of the watercourses.
Geotechnical Setback
The geotechnical report dated May 26, 2011 from Golder Associates identifies a 10-15 metre setback from the crest of the slope. The recommended setback should not constrain the proponent's ability to locate and design the facilities as there is significant land available beyond the recommended setback.
The geotechnical report will be registered on title with a Hazardous Lands Development Permit, covenant and reference plan.
Section 108 Zoning Bylaw Compliance
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 3 OF 13 R11-014
48
The report from Scott Resource Services Inc. dated July 8, 2011 provides recommendations for protection of the watercourses. As all of the watercourses have been identified as permanent, a 30 metre setback is required from the top of bank. Due to the location of the watercourse 1, 1A and 2, the required 30 metre setback will not impact the location of the development. However, the recommended setback from the top of the bank extends beyond the ravine crest for watercourse 2A; therefore, it is recommended that any development not encroach into the 30 metre setback. The location of the setback must be identified with a reference plan and covenant prior to adoption of the zone amending bylaw.
Community Amenity Contribution
Community Amenity Contributions are not requested for application for Institutional zoning.
Tree Retention and Replanting
Tree planting will be addressed as part of the landscape plan that will be submitted as part of the building permit requirements.
Sections 879 and 881 Referrals
When an amendment is proposed to an Official Community Plan, the District of Mission will refer the proposed amendment to the organizations listed below following first reading of the bylaw, subject to provisions set out in Council Policy LAN.47.-Official Community Plan Referral. The organizations identified in the policy are as follows:
• Fraser Valley Regional District • District of Maple Ridge; • City of Abbotsford; • First Nations; • School District No. 75; • Ministry of Water Land and Air Protection; • Fraser Health Region; • Ministry of Transportation; • Department of Fisheries and Oceans; • Land Reserve Commission; • Utility Companies and the; • Canadian Pacific Railway.
In accordance with the provisions of the policy, Council is to consider the requirement to make referrals on a case-by-case basis and adopt a resolution to clarify that the referral requirements have been considered. Considering the referral criteria detailed in Policy LAN.47, referrals needed for this bylaw amendment will go to:
• School District • Fraser Health • Ministry of Transportation • Ministry of Water Land and Air Protection
Internal Comments
The application was reviewed at the Pre-application meeting with the developer, Planning and Engineering Departments. The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal with comments outlined in the Engineering Department Rezoning Comments attached as Appendix 2.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 4 OF 13 R11-014
49
External Referrals There are watercourses located at the bottom of the steep slope. The applicant has submitted a report from Scott Resource Services Inc. identifying the required setbacks from the top of bank based on Section 108 of District of Mission zoning bylaw. In addition, the usual external referrals will be made to the various utility agencies as part of the rezoning process.
Impact of Application under Section 882 of Local Government Act
The Local Government Act requires that when Council is considering adopting or amending an Official Community Plan, it must consider the implications of the change to the Official Community Plan on the District's:
• Financial Plan (includes Capital Expenditure Plan and Operating Expenditure Plan); and
• Waste Management Plan.
This Official Community Plan amendment allows for the re-designation of two smaller lots from multiple family/compact to Institutional to facilitate a new Campus of Care and Community Health Centre. The District collects development cost charges (DCCs) from development in order to pay for the additional capital infrastructure that becomes necessary as a result of the cumulative impact of growth. The District also relies on property taxes and user fees from growth overall to fund the added operating costs that are associated with growth. This plan is also to fund the eventual replacement of growth-related capital infrastructure from reserves that have been built up from the property tax base. Considering above the, it is recommended that council pass the necessary section 882 resolution to facilitate this Official Community Plan change.
Development Permit Application DP11-008
Due to the steep slopes on the property a Hazardous Lands Development Permit is required to ensure the land is safe for the use intended. The applicant has submitted a site specific report from Golder Associates that meets the District of Mission's requirements for hazard acceptability thresholds. The geotechnical report will be registered on the title of the properties with a covenant and reference plan identifying the required setback from the top of bank.
Public Hearing Information Package
In accordance with Council Policy LAN.50 — PRE-PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION PACKAGES, a package will be produced containing material related to the development application.

To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Planning Technician
Date: November 7, 2011
Subject: Rezoning Application R11-003 (Pavlov) — 12411 Carr Street
Recommendation
1. That, in accordance with Rezoning Application R11-003 (Pavlov), the Corporate Officer prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by rezoning the property located at 12411 Carr Street and legally described as:
Parcel Identifier: 007-581-581 Lot 1 Section 22 Township 15 New Westminster District Plan 44668
from Rural 36 (RU36) zone to RR7 Rural Residential 7 (RR7) zone;
2. That the bylaw be considered for 1st and 2nd readings at the Regular Council meeting on November 7, 2011 and that following such readings, the bylaw be forwarded to Public Hearing on November 28, 2011.
3. That the five percent parkland provision in Section 941 of the Local Government Act be applied as cash-in-lieu of parkland to subdivision file S11-002.
Summary of Proposal
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property located at 12411 Carr Street from Rural 36 (RU36) zone to RR7 Rural Residential 7 (RR7) zone to accommodate the subsequent subdivision of the subject property into four (4) lots of a minimum 0.7 hectare (1.73 ac.) lot size. The subdivision draft plan is attached as Appendix 1.
Site Description
The subject property is 3.99 hectares (9.86 ac.) in area and is located on the north side of Berg Avenue between Powell Street and Carr Street in Stave Falls (refer to Appendix 2). There is one existing log home and an approximate 46 square metre (500 sq. ft.) secondary dwelling unit (guest cabin) on the property. A secondary dwelling unit is not a permitted use in the RR7 zone; however, the applicant has advised that the guest cabin will be removed prior to subdivision approval. The removal of the guest cabin will be met through the subdivision approval process.
Access to proposed Lots 1, 2 and 3 would likely be from Berg Avenue and proposed Lot 4 could be accessed from either Carr Street or Berg Avenue. Proposed Lot 1 slopes slightly to the west and the centre portion of this lot is relatively flat. Propose Lot 2 slopes to the west, southwest and also has a large flat portion to the west. Proposed Lot 3 contains the existing home and yard and drains predominantly to the south through a series of man-made ponds and channels. Proposed Lot 4 slopes primarily to the west and drains to the ponds located on Lot 3.
PAGE 1 OF 7
Neighbourhood Context
The majority of properties in the immediate area are zoned RU16 and RR7 (refer to Appendix 3). As this is an emerging area of rural residential properties, the proposed RR7 zone (minimum 0.7 ha/1.73 ac.) allows for lot sizes compatible with the existing land uses in the surrounding area.
Official Community Plan Designation
The subject proposal is in conformance with the Official Community Plan; therefore, an OCP amendment is not required.
Zoning
The current RU36 zone has a minimum parcel size of 3.6 hectares (8.9 ac.). The proposed RR7 zone has a minimum parcel size of 0.7 hectares (1.73 ac.). The subject property is 3.99 hectares (9.86 ac.) in area and therefore allows a four-lot subdivision under the RR7 zone.
Community Amenity Contribution
In accordance with District of Mission Policy LAN. 40 — Financial Contributions for Community Amenities Policy, the applicant has submitted a letter volunteering to contribute $8,040 (for 3 new lots) which is payable prior to the adoption of the zone amending bylaw.
Environmental Protection
There are a number of watercourses, channels and man-made ponds present on the subject property. An environmental assessment was initially completed in November 2010. In July 2011, the applicant's environmental consultant submitted an application to the Ministry of Environment for authorization to remove the manmade ponds on the subject property and restore the channel to its original condition. Information from the environmental consultant advises that completing this work would remove the downstream barrier (steep slope) to fish movement and provide 368 square metres (3,961 sq. ft.) of functioning fish habitat.
This application (commonly called a Section 9 application), was referred to the District of Mission and the Department of Fisheries and Ocean (DFO) for review and comment. The District's Environmental Services Manager has advised the Ministry of Environment that the District is supportive of the proposed works. To date, DFO has not provided their comments. It is noted that prior to any of the proposed alterations or works taking place, authorization from the Ministry of Environment is required.
In addition, a restrictive covenant will be required to protect the environmentally sensitive areas as part of the subdivision approval process.
Tree Retention and Replanting
The applicant's surveyor identified 336 significant trees on the subject property. The applicant has indicated that approximately 97 significant trees will be removed as part of the proposed development. In accordance with District of Mission Policy LAN. 32 — Tree Retention/Replanting Policy, the applicant will be required to replant all 97 of the significant trees removed or provide cash-in-lieu ($250 per tree) for each significant tree removed and not replanted. In addition, the applicant is required to plant two additional trees per lot (8 trees in total). As part of the subdivision approval process, the applicant will be required to provide written confirmation confirming the number of trees replanted on-site.

Donna-L Lakes
Planning Analysis
The proposed subdivision will create four (4) rural residential lots; the proposed lot areas of each exceed the 0.7 hectare (1.73 ac.) minimum lot area requirement. This rezoning proposal is supported by planning staff as it is in accordance with the OCP and provides for compatible development in the Stave Falls area.
Parkland
A referral was sent to the Parks, Recreation & Culture Department and their recommendation is to accept cash in lieu as this property is within walking distance to the Stave Falls Elementary School green space.
Internal Comments
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal; these comments are outlined in Appendix 4 — Engineering Department Rezoning Comments.
External Referrals
The standard referrals will be made to the various utility agencies as part of the subdivision process.
Public Hearing Information Package
In accordance with District of Mission Policy LAN.50 — Pre-Public Hearing Information Packages Policy, a package will be produced containing material related to the development application.
Requirements Prior to Adoption of the Zone Amending Bylaw
• Receipt of the Community Amenity contribution in the amount of $8,040;
• Any other items that Council may require resulting from the Public Hearing or Council consideration of the application.
Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that the rezoning proposal be supported by Council and proceed to Public Hearing on November 28, 2011.

Parcel Identifier: 011-602-686 Lot 11, Block 2, Section 21, Township 17, New Westminster District Plan 332
from Residential Two unit Zone (RT465) to Residential Compact 280 Zone (RC280);
that the bylaw be considered for 1st and 2nd readings at the Regular Council meeting on November 7, 2011; and
that following such a reading, the bylaw be forwarded to a Public Hearing on November 28, 2011.
2. That Development Permit Application DP11-013, in the name of Tingy Deol, to provide conformity to the Official Community Plan guidelines respecting building form and character for a proposed compact single-family residential development on the property located at 32851 6th Avenue be forwarded to Council for public input on November 28, 2011.
Summary of Proposal
The applicant intends to rezone and then subdivide the subject property in order to facilitate the construction of a new infill single-family residence.

Background
The subject property is located at 32851 6th Avenue, is 785 square metres in size, and is owned by Tajinderpal (Tingy) and Navjot Deol. The applicant is proposing to subdivide the property into two parcels — 504.63 square metres (5,431.79 square feet) and 400.75 square (4,313.64 square feet) respectively — see Appendix 1. The rezoning and subdivision, if approved, will facilitate the construction of a new single family residence on the property in accordance with the OCP infill residential development permit guidelines. The carport and sundeck for the existing home will need to be removed in order to meet the minimum side yard setbacks of the target RC280 zone. The applicant will be required to build a detached garage with two parking spaces for the existing home in addition to updating the building façade.

Official Community Plan Designation
The site is located in the Urban Compact/Multiple family designation of the OCP — see Appendix 2.
Section 2.4 Infill Development of the Official Community Plan outlines and highlights objectives for infill development. Specifically to
"Encourage a variety of infill residential development forms in conjunction with the application of Smart Growth development principles."
Where infill development is proposed, Policy 2.4.1 outlines the compatibility criteria:
Compatibility Criteria for Infill Development
Policy 2.4.1. Evaluate proposals for infill residential development, based upon their degree of compatibility with the character of the immediate neighbourhood, with particular attention to:
• The height, size, scale and massing of buildings • Harmonious integration of the building in terms of setbacks, window placement, privacy, design
and materials • Retention of locally significant landscaping and addition of new landscaped areas; • The upgrading of existing dwellings
The height, size, scale, and massing of the home is compatible with surrounding homes and will not adversely impact the character of the neighbourhood. The street consists of an eclectic mix of different housing styles and heights within the neighbourhood and this proposal would add to this diversity. The proposed building design and height will be discussed in further detail within the Planning Analysis section of this report.
The applicant will be retaining the existing trees along the 6th Avenue frontage but will need to remove 6 trees that are located within the rear of the site in order to accommodate the construction of the proposed new home and detached garage. As per the Tree Retention Policy (LAN.32), the applicant will be required to replant trees in order to achieve no net loss in addition to planting two trees per lot. The shrubs along the front façade of the existing home will be retained — see Appendix 3.
The existing home on the property will be upgraded in order to complement the design of the proposed new home and the duplex that was recently approved on the property to the west (Northwest corner of Maple and 6th Avenue). The scope of these improvements includes repainting the trim on the house so that it provides greater contrast with the white siding, repainting the front door, and adding brick to the lower portions of the building in order to cover the concrete — see Appendix 3.
Overall, the planning department is satisfied that this proposal fits within the criteria for infill development as outlined in the Official Community Plan.
Zoning
The subject property is currently zoned Residential Two Unit (RT465) Zone — see Appendix 4. The applicant wishes to rezone the property to RC280 in order to facilitate a proposed subdivision of the property into two parcels. One parcel would contain the existing home while
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 2 OF 17 R11-021/DP11-013
71
the other lot would be for the proposed new home. The size of the parcels would be 504.63 square metres (5,431.79 square feet) and 400.75 square (4,313.64 square feet) respectively.
Since the applicant is pursuing single-family residential zoning, a site inspection will be required by the Building Department to ensure that there are no secondary suites within the existing home. The applicant has agreed to arrange for an inspection and to decommission any suites in accordance with District of Mission requirements prior to final approval of this rezoning application.
The carport and sundeck for the existing home need to be removed in order to achieve the minimum side yard setback requirements of the RC280 zone should the concurrent subdivision application be approved. In order to meet the parking requirements of the Zoning Bylaw, the applicant will be required to build a two-car detached garage for residents of the existing home off of the rear lane — see Appendix 1. The construction of the detached garage will be a requirement of subdivision approval.
Planning Analysis (Development Permit Review)
Applicability
The application is subject to a development permit due to its infill nature and location within the Urban Compact/Multiple Family designation of the Official Community Plan. In this regard, the application is subject to the requirements of the Intensive Residential Development Permit Guidelines.
DP Guidelines
A few of the objectives of the Official Community Plan Intensive Residential Development Permit Guidelines include the following:
• To facilitate a high standard of building design, site compatibility, and site aesthetics;
• To minimize the impact of new single family infill residential development on existing neighbourhoods (Appendix 5 - Neighbourhood Context)
• To provide a mix of housing forms, choices and affordability opportunities for residents in the urban area and at the same time provide for more interesting and varied urban neighbourhoods;
• To provide for a form of sustainable development in Mission through the economic efficiencies gained by capitalizing on existing infrastructure and services in the urban area by increasing single-family residential densities; and
• To provide a neighbourhood environment that focuses on pedestrians and away from an automobile dominated streetscape.
To this end the design proposed by the applicant is consistent with the guidelines and fits within the surrounding neighbourhood (Appendix 6 and 7 — Development Permit Elevations, Appendix 8 — Site Plan). This is achieved through limiting the gross floor area of the upper floor to 80% of the main floor to minimize the building "box" effect, the use of peaked roofs, front yard porch to encourage interaction with the street, use of different surfacing elements, landscaping to soften the facade, and the use of different building elements and colours (vinyl shingles, wood trim, wood posts, cultured stone, and earth tone colours).
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 3 OF 17 R11-021/DP11-013
72
The height of the proposed home is 8.51 metres which is below the maximum permitted height of 9.5 metres for the RC280 zone. The height of the existing home on the property is 8.32 metres which is within very close proximity to that proposed for the new home. There is a vacant lot to the west of the property for which a duplex was recently approved with a height of 9.21 metres — see Appendix 1. The surrounding area consists of established homes ranging from one to two storeys in height. Hence, the height of the proposed home will be similar to what already exists, or has already been approved, for this neighbourhood and will not create any adverse impacts. For images of surrounding homes on the street, please refer to Appendix 4 —Neighbourhood Context.
This home will be built on an infill residential lot that will capitalize on existing infrastructure and services (roads and utilities). Furthermore, the home is also located within walking distance to commercial services, transit, and parks/open space. Hence, this project fits in with the sustainability criteria of the Official Community Plan.
Community Amenity Contribution
In accordance with the District of Mission's LAN 40 Land Use Policy, the applicant has agreed to provide a community amenity contribution of $2,815.00 for the proposed single family lot.
Tree Retention and Replanting
There are a total of 9 trees on the subject property that fall under the definition of a "significant tree" as per the Tree Retention/Replanting Policy. The applicant has indicated that they will retain the 3 trees along the 6th Avenue frontage. There is a single tree along the east property line and a stand of 5 trees in the NE corner of the site. The applicant has indicated that these trees need to be removed in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed new residence and detached garage.
In order to achieve no net loss of trees and to satisfy the requirement of planting two trees per new lot, the applicant has agreed to plant 10 trees on the site and provide a security to the District. The security amount will be $2,500.00 ($250.00 per tree). The trees that will be retained will be protected by fencing as per specifications of the Tree Retention/Replanting Policy prior to any construction activity on the site. The applicant has provided a tree retention plan showing the approximate location of trees to be retained, removed, and planted — see Appendix 9.
Internal Comments
The application was discussed at a preliminary application review meeting and no concerns were raised regarding this proposal. Since the existing home on the property once contained a secondary suite, the applicant has agreed to decommission the suite and to arrange an inspection with the Building Department in order to provide assurance that the secondary suite has been removed.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal and their comments have been attached to this report — see Appendix 10.

External Referrals
No external referrals are required as part of the rezoning and development permit process for this proposal.
Public Hearing Information Package
In accordance with Council Policy LAN.50 — PRE-PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION PACKAGES, a package will be produced containing material related to the development application.
Requirements Prior to Adoption of the Zone Amending Bylaw and Approval of Development Permit DP11-013
• Receipt of the Community Amenity contribution in the amount of $ 2,815.00.
• A security in the amount of $2,500.00 to cover the planting of 10 trees as per the Tree Retention/Replanting Policy (LAN.32).
• Decommissioning of any secondary suites within the existing home and an inspection by the Building Department.
• Modifications to the existing home as per Appendix 3.
• Engineering requirements for extending the storm sewer on 6th Avenue to the site.
• Approval of Development Permit DP11-013 will be considered as part of the same Council agenda as the Official Community Plan and Zone Amending Bylaws are considered. The development permit shall be subject to prior approval of the concurrent rezoning and subdivision applications.
• Construction of, or security to construct, a detached garage for the existing home in order to provide for two off-street parking spaces as per the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw.
• Any other items that Council may require resulting from the Public Hearing or Council consideration of the application.
In summary, staff recommends that the Rezoning and Development Permit proposal proceed to Public Hearing and Public Input meeting on November 28, 2011.

Planning Department Memorandum
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON R08-004
To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Planner
Date: November 7, 2011
Subject: Rezoning Application R08-004 (OTG Developments) — 34159 Kirkpatrick Avenue.
Recommendation
1. That first and second reading of zone amending bylaw 5189-2010-5050(31) be rescinded;
2. That in accordance with Rezoning Application R08-004 (OTG Developments), the Corporate Officer prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009 by rezoning the property located at 34159 Kirkpatrick Avenue and legally described as:
Parcel Identifier: 011-200-341 Lot 2 Section 3 Township 18 New Westminster District Plan 6858
from Rural 16 (RU16) zone to Rural Residential 7 (RR7) zone;
3. That the bylaw be considered for first and second reading at the Regular Council meeting on November 7, 2011; and
4. That following such readings, the bylaw be forwarded to Public Hearing on November 28, 2011.
Background
The applicant initially proposed to rezone two properties located 34159 and 34221 Kirkpatrick Avenue (Map 1) to allow for a four lot subdivision. The rezoning application entailed rezoning the site from Rural 16 (RU16) Zone to Rural Residential 7 Secondary Dwelling (RR7s) Zone.
A public hearing was held on February 28, 2011 and a number of questions were raised about rainwater run-off affecting the western neighbour and the potential effect on local water quality/quantity created by secondary dwellings within the RR7s zone. Since that time, the owner of 34221 Kirkpatrick Avenue withdrew from the application due to personal reasons. The applicant has requested to move forward with an application for 34159 Kirkpatrick Avenue only (Appendix I). Given the wishes of the applicant, the previous zone amending bylaw's first and second readings must be rescinded in order for Council to consider the revised rezoning application. Recognizing the concerns raised by Council in respect to secondary dwellings allowed within the RR7s zone, the applicant wishes to revise the target zone and pursue the RR7 zone which does not permit secondary dwellings.
Site Description
The subject property is located east of the intersection of Stave Lake Street and Kirkpatrick Avenue (Map 1). 34159 Kirkpatrick Avenue falls gently towards the north and contains a watercourse flowing westward along the northern property line. The property currently has a single family dwelling and three out buildings. The single family dwelling, chicken coop and barn are to be retained within proposed Lot 1 and the shed is slated for removal (Appendix I). The northern portion of the property adjacent to the watercourse is mostly vegetated while the interior of subject property is predominantly clear of vegetation. A row of trees also exists along a section of the southern property boundary which will remain undisturbed.
PAGE 1 OF 7
Neighbourhood Context
The majority of the properties in proximity to the subject property are zoned RU16 and RR7 (Zoning Map). The Ferndale neighbourhood has experienced an increase in rural residential development over the last five to ten years. The proposed RR7 zoning allows for lot sizes compatible with the existing land uses and densities in the immediately surrounding area.
Official Community Plan (OCP) Designation
The proposed density and target RR7 zone is in accordance with the OCP and its overall objectives.
Zoning
The current RU16 zone has a minimum parcel size of 1.6 hectares (4.0 acres). The proposed RR7 zone has a minimum parcel size of 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres). Lot 1 is slated to be `oversized' at 1.31 hectares (3.23 acres) and Lot 2 will be 0.7 hectares (1.73 acres). The RR7 zone does not allow for a secondary dwelling (i.e. secondary suite, garden cottage or coach house).
Community Amenity
In accordance with Council Policy LAN.40 — FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY AMENITIES POLICY, the applicant has submitted a letter volunteering to contribute $2,680.00 for each additional lot.
Section 108 Compliance (Environmental Protection)
The 34159 Kirkpatrick Avenue property has been identified as containing a single watercourse (Appendix I) flowing east to west along the northern property line. Section 108 of The District of Mission Zoning Bylaw 5050-2009, requires a 30 metre set back and protected area for this watercourse. A restrictive covenant is to be placed on the title and permanent barrier fencing with signage is to be installed to protect these areas from disturbance.
Tree Retention and Replanting
Vegetation removal is not required for the proposed development as suitable building areas free of vegetation already exist for all new dwellings and accessory structures. The applicant is required to provide two trees per new lot created in accordance with the District of Mission's Tree Retention Replanting Policy, LAN.32. This requirement will be met through the subdivision approval process.
Access
Both lots will be accessed from Kirkpatrick Road; the covenant to protect the watercourse on the north side of the property would preclude any access from Stave Lake Street.
Planning Analysis
The rezoning application is supported by planning staff as it will lead to development compatible with the existing surrounding land use pattern and provide development that is in accordance with the District of Mission Official Community Plan.
Parkland
As fewer than three additional lots would be created, Section 941 of the Local Government Act (Provision of Parkland) does not apply.

Internal Comments
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal with comments outlined in the Engineering Department Rezoning Comments attached in Appendix II.
External Referrals
The usual referrals will be made to the various utility agencies and Department of Fisheries and Oceans as part of the subdivision process.
Public Hearing Information Package
In accordance with Council Policy LAN.50 — PRE-PUBLIC HEARING INFORMATION PACKAGES, a package will be produced containing material related to the development application which can be viewed by any interested party. Furthermore, notification letters are sent via mail to all owners/occupants of properties within 500 metres of the development in order to inform them of the scheduled public hearing date.
Requirements Prior to Adoption of the Zone Amending Bylaw
• Receipt of the Community Amenity Contribution in the amount of $2,680.00; and
• Any other items that Council may require resulting from the Public Hearing or Council consideration of the application.

District of Mission Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) (R10-013 — District of Mission) — a bylaw to incorporate new Industrial Development Permit Guidelines Barclay Pitkethly, deputy director of planning, provided information regarding District of Mission official community plan amending bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) (R10-013 -District of Mission), which proposes to amend the text of District of Mission official community plan bylaw 4052-2008 by:
• deleting all text within "Area K Industrial Business Park Development Permit Area" in its entirety from Part IV — Development Permit Areas;
• deleting "0 (i) and 0 (iii)" in their entirety from Schedule 1, Part IV -Development Permit Areas; and
• inserting a new "Industrial Development Permit Area" section after Development Permit Area J and before Development Permit Area L.
The deputy director of planning stated that the purpose of the proposed amendments is to incorporate new industrial development permit guidelines into the official community plan in order to improve the streetscape and built environment within industrial areas of Mission.
The deputy director of planning stated that the objectives of the industrial development permit guidelines are as follows:
• to encourage a high visual design and functional standard of industrial development;
• to improve the street level appearance of industrial development and encourage business façade recognition;
• to create industrial developments oriented to pedestrians while maintaining efficient vehicle access;
• to incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles to provide a safe industrial environment;
• to minimize the overall impact of new industrial developments on adjacent industrial and non-industrial uses; and
• to incorporate rainwater management techniques to maximize onsite rainwater retention.
Mr. Pitkethy also stated the following will be exempt from requiring a development permit:
• new buildings or an addition to an existing building less than 111.5 square metres;
• existing signage; • internal renovations; • site improvements; • lot consolidation, lot line adjustment, or a road widening; and • exterior building envelope repairs.
The deputy director of corporate administration stated that no correspondence was received regarding this application.
Lila Raul expressed concern for wildlife and vegetation along the waterfront and stated her opposition to industrial development in the area. She also expressed her belief that there was insufficient information on the proposal provided in the public hearing announcement that appeared in the newspaper.
Jeannette Smith expressed her opinion that developers should be required to install large trees rather than small or mid-sized ones.
On page 35 of the agenda, in Schedule A, Area K. 5 under Parking and Loading Areas, Councillor Horn questioned the strength of the word "encouraged" in the sentence "The strategic use of permeable parking pavers at entrances and pedestrian corridors is encouraged to improve surface drainage and to create visual interest within parking areas." He stated that he would like staff to consider alternate language that would specify acceptable materials and practices and offer stronger alternatives to the word "encouraged".
Councillor Scudder stated that he too believes it is important to achieve surface permeability but questioned whether or not adding specifics with regard to materials and practices is necessary.
Councillor Stevens requested that staff consider alternative language that would place the onus on the developer to either provide a permeable surface or explain why this cannot be achieved.
In response to questions from Councillor Plecas, the deputy director of planning confirmed that signage is regulated by the signage bylaw and the proximity to the street is regulated by the setbacks in the zoning bylaw.
Councillor Stewart expressed a desire for a stronger environmental focus.
The deputy director of planning stated that there is another development permit that was recently introduced within the Local Government Act that would promote energy and water conservation and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and that, through council initiative, this could potentially be developed within the development permit guidelines.
Hearing no further questions or comments the mayor declared the public hearing on District of Mission official community plan amending bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) R10-013 — District of Mission) closed.
Moved by Councillor Horn, seconded by Councillor Scudder, and
RESOLVED: That staff be asked to provide council a brief report describing the new development permit guideline possibilities around environmental features with some information as to expected time and staffing needs to bring these forward.

Subject: Industrial Development Permit Area Guidelines — OCP' Amendment
Recommendation
1. That the Director of Corporate Administration prepare a bylaw to amend District of Mission Official Community Plan Bylaw 4052-2008 to:
a. delete all text within "Area K - Industrial Business Park Development Permit Area"
in its entirety from Part IV — Development Permit Areas; and
b. delete "0 (i) and 0 (iii)" in their entirety from Schedule 1, Part IV — Development Permit Areas; and
c. insert "Industrial Development Permit Area" in its entirety after Development Permit Area J and before Development Permit Area L.
that the bylaws be considered for 1St reading at the Regular Council Meeting on April 19, 2010; and
that following such a reading, the bylaw be forwarded to a Public Hearing on May 25, 2010.
2. That upon due consideration of Sections 879 and 881 of the Local Government Act, consultation referrals go forward to:
a. School District No.75.
3. That in accordance with Section 882 of the Local Government Act, Council has considered District of Mission Official Community Plan amending bylaws in conjunction with the District of Mission's Financial Plan (includes Capital Expenditure Plan and Operating Expenditure Plan) and Waste Management Plan.
Purpose of Proposal
To incorporate new Industrial Development Permit Guidelines into the OCP in order to improve the streetscape and built environment within industrial areas of Mission:
Background
The OCP's action plan prioritizes various policy items that require completion. The action plan stipulates that revision to the Development Permit Area Guidelines for industrial areas is a high priority. Accordingly, the Development Permit Area Guidelines included herein aim to provide for comprehensive design guidelines that will improve the overall design, reduce the environmental 'footprint' and improve the functional aspects of industrial areas in Mission.
Analysis of Proposal
The development permit area guidelines are attached as Schedule A. The design guidelines were created with the input of Planning, Engineering and Environmental Services Staff. The guidelines cover a wide range of form and character aspects that will provide for improved
PAGE 1 OF 10
industrial development within Mission. All new industrial development will have to adhere to the guidelines in order to allow approval from Council and aid planning staff in the assessment of development proposals. Additionally, the improved guidelines will allow developers and designers to have a clear understating of industrial development requirements in Mission. The following provides an overview of design elements that will be included within the OCP:
Site Planning
Improved diagrams and text will encourage all buildings to be oriented to the street and to buffer loading, parking and unsightly areas through site design. Visually prominent street corners have been identified and will require 'gateway' landscaping' and façade design to anchor the corners.
Building Form and Character
All buildings are to be designed to account for the high visibility of industrial areas and create a visual relationship between building and streetscape. 'Active' ground floors will create a positive public image and promote more pedestrian friendly streets. The overall design requirements will move away from 'boring and box like' industrial buildings to incorporate varying roof designs, protruding features, articulation and incorporation of architectural elements.
Lighting and Signage
Improved lighting guidelines will encourage lighting of architectural features while limiting the 'light pollution' or glare from industrial developments. Simplified signage guidelines will create uniformity of development and provide for more streamlined and modernized signage.
Landscaping
The guidelines encourage all landscaping to buffer blank walls, storage, fencing, loading areas and waste facilities. In addition to beatification of an industrial site, landscaping will be utilized for rain water management and will utilize drought resistant native species.
Parking and Loading
The majority of parking and all loading facilities will not front roadways and will be buffered from the streetscape. Improved site planning and buffering provisions will provide for better industrial development,
Universal Access
Guidelines will improve universal access and safety for mobility challenged persons.
Waste
Refuse receptacles will be stored away from pedestrian view and buffered with the use of landscaping and fencing.
Outdoor storage
Outdoor storage will be minimized and not be visible by the street level pedestrian. Storage will be located between or behind buildings and designed in an unobtrusive manner.
Environmental Sustainability
Landscaping will be encouraged to be designed as a rain water management tool and impervious surfaces will be minimized. Additionally, green roofs are encouraged as a viable rain water management option. Lifestyle improvements such as end of trip facilities (lockers and shower), bike racks and outdoor amenity spaces will be encouraged in all industrial developments.

Sections 879 and - 881 referrals
When an amendment is proposed to an Official Community Plan, the District of Mission will refer the proposed amendment to the organizations listed below following first reading of the bylaw, subject to provisions set out in Council policy LAN. 47 Official Community Plan Referral. The organizations identified in the policy are as follows:
• Fraser Valley Regional District; • District of Maple Ridge; • City of Abbotsford; • First Nations; • School District No.75; • Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection; • Fraser Health Region; • Ministry of Transportation; • Department of Fisheries and Oceans; • Land Reserve Commission, • Utility Companies; and the • Canadian Pacific Railway.
In accordance with the provisions of the policy, Council. is to consider the requirement to make referrals on a case-by-case basis and adopt a resolution to clarify that the referral requirements have been considered. Considering the referral criteria detailed in the LAN 47 policy, the only referral needed for this bylaw amendment is to the District of Mission School District No. 75. While it could be said that adjacent municipalities could be affected by an OCP text amendment generally, this proposed bylaw amendment in this case relates to form and character of industrial land use designations, none of which are over lands situated adjacent to neighbouring municipal boundaries.
Recommendation
The industrial development permit area guidelines will improve the form and character of industrial development within the District of Mission; accordingly, planning staff recommends inclusion of the industrial development permit guidelines, attached as Schedule A,' be inserted into the OCP. As staff, developers and Council familiarize themselves with the guidelines, a delegation of authority bylaw will be forwarded to Council for consideration to streamline Industrial development applications.

Schedule A
Area K - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PERMIT AREA
1. Category
• 919.1(1)(f) of the Local Government Act (form and character of industrial development)
2. Intent
To achieve a high quality built form for industrial development within the District of Mission. The Industrial Development Permit Area promotes development design that meets the needs of industry through attractive design. The site design, aesthetic improvements and building form will not compromise the function of industrial developments. The Industrial Development Permit Area establishes guidelines for the general form and character of future industrial developments and expansion of existing developments within industrial areas.
3. Objectives
• To encourage a high visual design and functional standard of industrial development.
• To improve the street level appearance of industrial development and encourage business facade recognition,
• To create industrial developments oriented to pedestrians while maintaining efficient vehicle access.
• To incorporate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design principles to provide a safe industrial environment.
• To minimize the overall impact of new industrial developments on adjacent industrial and non-industrial uses.
• To incorporate rainwater management techniques to maximize onsite rainwater retention.
4. Applicability
The Industrial Development Permit Area is identified as all areas designated Industrial on OCP Map 1.
5. Guidelines
Site Design and Planning
Buildings on corner sites should front both street edges. These buildings should strongly define the corner and exhibit visually prominent 'landmark' architecture.
Buildings on corner sites should also be oriented to the street and locate the office/showroom component to the forefront or corner of the building with facades that are easily identifiable and visible from streets.
Overhead service doors and loading bays should be located at the interior or rear of buildings and should not face a street. Service doors should be designed to fit with the overall design of the building.
Most parking should not directly front onto streets and should be located at the interior or rear of the development. All parking readily visible from the roadway should be buffered visually by berms, vegetation or low-rise rockwork walls.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 4 OF 10 Industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
103
Mature trees, shrubs, berms and landscaping should provide inviting entrance and be utilized to screen large blank walls
`Active' ground levels, with public uses, should face the street and be finished with prominent facade treatment and glazed windows
All buildings should front the roadway and all corner structures should exhibit visually prominent architecture
Parking lots, loading areas and outdoor storage areas should be located behind or between buildings
Limit parking between buildings and streets; all parking facing streets should be significantly buffered
All development should provide a street presence with entrances and architectural interest in building designs fronting public streets.
Fundamental design and site planning ideas are summarized in the
following standard illustration:
Building Form and Character
All buildings shall provide an appealing visual appearance using high quality materials, tin or metal buildings will be discouraged in Urban Industrial areas.
Roof edge designs should incorporate varying architectural treatments, articulation, elevations, textures, colours and improvements.
Design consideration must create an appealing visual relationship between buildings and streetscape. Specific design consideration should also extend to the Mission Bridge, all highway bypass traffic, trails and commuter rail
Rooftops should demonstrate varying elevations, treatments and colour
104
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON
PAGE 5 OF 10 Industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
Where appropriate, all buildings should provide impression of two stories with the use of spandrel glass
Rooftop appurtenances should be visually buffered with lattice work or vegetation
Service bays and loading docks should be recessed while incorporating varying rooflines interest to create architectural
Streetside signage for multitenant buildings should be uniform and architecturally coordinated with the building
viewscape corridors.
Single story construction is not encouraged on public street frontages.
All remaining frontage space not utilized by the public should be treated with architectural and/or landscaping features to maintain a definite and attractive street edge.
Building faces that front streets and corner locations should be developed with 'active' ground floors to create a positive
public image and identifiable businesses, while promoting a more pedestrian friendly streetscape.
Extended blank walls along streets should be avoided; exposed surfaces of buildings are encouraged to be finished with murals, painted grooves or dyed concrete block with varied textures and colours to improve blank wall surfaces.
Main building entries should be located and designed to be clearly identified from streets and entry driveways. Include glazing as a major component of street-facing facades.
105
Rooftop appurtenances such mechanical units, venting, air conditions, rooftop heaters, satellite dishes etc. should be grouped and buffered, to reduce noise and visual intrusion to reduce the visual impact from surrounding uses. The use of lattice work, vegetation or combination thereof is encouraged. A sufficient perimeter around objects should be given for maintenance purposes.
Manufactured mobile structures are not deemed as an appropriate building form.
Service areas, bay doors, loading docks should be recessed to minimize visual impact as well as conflicts with pedestrians.
Lighting and Signage
External lighting should be used to enhance safety of persons on the site after dark.
Pedestrian lighting is encouraged along all pedestrian pathways.
Lighting should be designed so as to have no direct source of light visible from the street or adjacent property. Care should be taken to ensure that lighting glare does not pose a nuisance to pedestrians or motorists.
External and signage lighting should utilize Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology where appropriate.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 6 OF 10 industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
Landscaping can be incorporated as part of the onsite rain water management system
Up lighting and down lighting is supported to enhance the architectural features of the building.
Signage is to be architecturally co-ordinated with the overall design of the building and should be integrated with the building facade through colour and graphic style.
In multiple tenant buildings signs should be designed to present a unified appearance and should not significantly differentiate in size.
Non-illuminated or directly and indirectly illuminated projecting signs are encouraged to protrude perpendicularly from the façade wall of multi tenant buildings,
Landscaping
Appropriate entrance design and attractive site landscaping at the perimeter of the site, especially at the front and toward adjacent streets, should form an integral part of the site development design.
Frontage of lots will be encouraged to maintain a landscaped area that utilizes street trees, flowering shrubs and landscaped berms. A defined and attractive street edge should be the goal of all landscaping along public streets.
Larger industrial projects and all prominent corner projects should incorporate useable public and private open space, or 'gathering' areas, into their landscaping designs. The use of high quality landscaping and functional (seating friendly) cement/rockwork is encouraged to be incorporated within the streetside landscaping.
All planted shrubs used for landscaping should incorporate mature, low growing and weather resistant species. The extensive use of bark mulch without plantings should be minimized.
All vegetation used for landscaping should compliment a building's architectural features.
Landscaping should screen parking areas and outdoor storage from street view with the use of vegetation, berms and low-rise rockwork walls.
Where applicable, trees and landscaping should be used to buffer interior parking from any barren walls of pre-existing neighbouring industrial buildings
Vegetation or trees should not impede vehicular sight distances from entrance and exit points.
To limit required maintenance, all landscaping should incorporate native plants and/or drought resistant species and utilize xeri-scape principles. Where practical, the use of evergreen and colourful deciduous plantings should be employed to promote seasonal greenery.
In order to encourage energy efficiency and conservation, all trees utilized, at mature height, should not impede winter daylight into buildings and provide shade in summer.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 'r OF 10 Industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
106
Strategic use of permeable pavers is encouraged throughout parking areas
Parking & Loading Areas
Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the interior or rear of a site.
The majority of parking and all loading areas should be located between or to the rear of buildings, with access from internal circulation of the site.
The strategic use of permeable parking pavers at entrances and pedestrian corridors is encouraged to improve surface drainage and to create visual interest within parking areas.
Surface area parking should be divided into smaller sections to avoid a monotonous appearance. Intermittent use of landscaping strips, trees, building edges, pedestrian pathways and pavement treatment between parking stalls will enhance the visual appearance of elongated parking areas.
Parking areas adjacent to public roadways should provide low-level landscaped buffer between the parking and the public realm.
Parking areas should facilitate convenient and safe pedestrian access between building entrances, parked cars and sidewalks of adjoining streets. Features such as distinct paving should be incorporated where appropriate and pedestrian movement should be designed to avoid any obstruction by parked vehicles.
Crosswalks should be clearly designated through the use of pavement markings, stamped concrete, paving stones and signage where appropriate.
Where appropriate, use of pavement markings, stamped concrete and paving stones is encouraged
Universal Access
All parking allocated for mobility challenged people should be located as close as possible to the main entrance to the building.
All pedestrian pathways should be fully accessible to mobility challenged people, Sidewalks and pathways should be wide enough for wheelchairs and scooters and should include a tactile strip where appropriate. Gradual slope curb-cuts and curb let-downs should be provided in appropriate locations to facilitate safe, direct and convenient access from parking areas.
Waste and Recycling
Waste management facilities are to be completely screened by landscaping vegetation and/or wood fencing and/or by a constructed enclosure with similar features of the building for which it serves.
Refuse receptacles should be located indoors or within service areas out of view from pedestrian access. Garbage and waste material should be stored in containers that are weather and animal resistant,
Consideration should be given to provide access for large garbage collection vehicles during site design and waste facilities should be stored at the rear of buildings.
Waste management areas should provide room for recycling and composting
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 8 OF 10 Industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
107
Where appropriate, bioretention areas should be incorporated into the landscaping and parking design
Recycling and compost containers should be provided as part of disposal area facilities. Accordingly, industrial facilities should provide an area applicable to at least four (4) conventional sized dumpsters to provide for recycling and compost containers.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage areas are encouraged to be located at the rear or side of the building, and designed in an unobtrusive manner.
Outdoor storage is encouraged to be minimized, and where present, be visually buffered by landscaped berms, trees and substantial site landscaping.
Security lighting of outdoor storage areas is not to illuminate adjacent or nearby properties to intensity greater than existing street lights adjacent to nearby impacted sites.
Privacy slates may be utilized as screening alternatives provided they are similar in colour to the building's façade.
Environmental Sustainability Design Principals
Rainwater Management;
New developments are encouraged to maintain pre-development rainwater runoff conditions where landscaping should be included as part of the onsite rainwater management system.
Techniques such as:
• bioretention areas,
■ rain gardens,
■ infiltration trenches,
• vegetated swales,
■ directing rainwater from drain pipes into
vegetated areas, or
rain barrels for irrigation use later,
• pervious paving materials, and
■ green roofs
are all encouraged to be incorporated as part of the overall design of the site and buildings.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction:
Developments are encouraged to provide end-of-trip facilities such as showers and lockers within the development for the convenience of employees.
All buildings should provide exterior bike lock apparatuses and secure indoor bike storage for employees.
Interior office, public or display areas should have a southern orientation with ample windows for natural light.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 9 OF 10 Industrial Development Permit Guidelines-April 2010
108
For industrial developments with multiple tenancies, outdoor amenity spaces with lunch benches and southern exposure located near the street are encouraged for the convenience of employees.
5. Exemption
A development proposing to construct a new building(s) or an addition to an existing building(s) less than 111.5 sq. m. and existing signage alterations will be evaluated by staff 'in-house' to ensure consistence with the intent of Development Permit Area Guidelines and will be exempt from requiring a Development Permit.

To: Chief Administrative Officer
From: Planner
Date: January 24, 2011
Subject: Third Reading Report (R10-013) District of Mission Industrial Development Permit Guidelines
Recommendation
1. That Official Community Plan Bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) be further amended by inserting the following text within the proposed Industrial Development Permit Guidelines, before the `Exemption' heading:
"Sustainability Initiatives
All industrial proposals must submit a sustainability statement which provides an overview of sustainability initiatives incorporated within the development. Items to be addressed within the statement must be verifiable and relate specifically to:
• Rainwater Management (Impervious Surface Reduction, green roof treatment, rain barrels or cisterns, etc.)
• Recycling and Composting Facilities
• Water Use Reduction (Low consumption fixtures, grey water systems, rainwater recycling, water efficient landscaping etc.)
• Energy Efficiency (High performance envelopes, low energy consumption appliances, passive solar gain, renewable energy systems or pre plumbing for solar panels etc.)
• Materials and Resources (Locally obtained building materials, recycled content, construction waste management etc.)
• Social Sustainability (End of trip facilities, bike storage, landscaped gathering places, light pollution reduction etc.)"
2. That Official Community Plan Bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) be forwarded to a Public Hearing on February 28, 2011, given that new information and requirements will form part of the bylaw.
3. That planning staff be instructed to modify LAN. 41 "Guide to Land Development" to require all industrial development applicants to submit a "Sustainability Statement" with all Development Permit, Industrial Temporary Use Permit and Rezoning applications.
Background
Council received a report from the planning department on April 19, 2010 (Schedule 'A') which proposed to incorporate improved `form and character' development permit area guidelines for
PAGE 1 OF 15
industrial developments within the OCP. The OCP amending bylaw was provided 1st reading and forwarded to Public Hearing on May 25, 2010; whereby, Council and, residents raised a number of questions related to guideline text ambiguities.
Planning Analysis
The majority of questions were not related to the 'form and character' and site planning guidelines put forward by staff; rather, comments were mainly focused on overall environmental concerns and issues associated to rainwater management. The issues raised are summarized below and have been extracted from the minutes of the May 25, 2010 Public Hearing:
Impervious Paving
Council wished to incorporate stronger language within the development permit guidelines in order to ensure that all new industrial developments utilize permeable paving materials.
'Form and character' development permit guidelines are implemented within the OCP to direct developers as to what type of development is envisioned within a community. These same guidelines also assist Council and to staff assess development projects and whether the development proposal meets or exceeds the development permit area guidelines. Guidelines purposefully do not use prescriptive words or regulatory language, such 'must' or 'require'; rather, guidelines often utilize words like 'should' and 'encourage' in their place. Language that is more advisable than obligatory within the development permit guidelines will provide the developer, staff and Council flexibility in the application of the guidelines.
Upon instruction from Council, planning staff can readily insert prescriptive words throughout the industrial development permit area guidelines. However, if a certain development cannot meet all the prescribed requirements, a development proposal would have to be denied or necessitate an OCP amendment. Compulsory requirements may not be feasible on all development sites due to physical or economic reasons. As compulsory language would provide inflexibility in the application of the development permit guidelines, planning staff recommends that the proposed 'advisory' language remain unchanged.
It must be noted that planning staff currently works with developers to redesign facades, alter landscape plans, and encourage sustainable building technologies in order to minimize any environmental impacts and decrease each development's 'ecological footprint'.
Environmental Focus
Council also expressed a desire for a stronger environmental focus within the guidelines. Planning staff have already incorporated a number of environmental sustainability design principals into the proposed development permit guidelines which mainly address rainwater management, recycling and landscaping. Planning staff suggest that the proposed advisory guideline language remain unchanged; however, in an effort to ensure all developments incorporate sustainable design principals, planning staff suggest that a "Sustainability Statement' be submitted by all developers. This statement must outline all sustainability initiatives that will be incorporated within a development proposal. All improvements must be verifiable to the planning and building departments and must address:
• Rainwater Management (Impervious Surface Reduction, green roof treatment, rain barrels or cisterns, etc.)
• Recycling and Composting Facilities
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 2 OF 15 R10-013
111
• Water Use Reduction (Low consumption fixtures, grey water systems, rainwater recycling, water efficient landscaping etc.)
• Energy Efficiency (High performance envelopes, low energy consumption appliances, passive solar gain, renewable energy systems or pre plumbing for solar panels etc.)
• Materials and Resources (Locally obtained building materials, recycled content, construction waste management etc.)
• Social Sustainability (End of trip facilities, bike storage, landscaped gathering places, light pollution reduction etc.)
The proposed "Sustainability Statement", which will be required by the developer as part of a development application, is presented in Appendix 1. The sustainability statement will offer the developer and staff flexibility while still effectively gauging a development's sustainability initiatives. This sustainability statement will be required at the beginning of the development process and may be used to determine whether the proposal has incorporated fundamental improvements that provide a more sustainable development.
It is also noted that this type of sustainability statement may be extended to all types of development (commercial, multi-family, compact residential) to better consider the environmental effects of various developments. Eventually environmental services, with the assistance of the planning department, will put forward a "Sustainability Checklist" for Council's consideration. As an initiative outlined within the OCP, the "Sustainability Checklist" will effectually allow staff and Council to score major developments on all aspects of environmental standards (materials, permeability, land use, density etc.).
Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that advisory text within the industrial development permit guidelines remain unchanged; yet amend guideline text which will require developers to submit a sustainability statement with all industrial development applications. The guidelines will ultimately provide developers, planning staff and Council flexibility in the application of the industrial development permit guidelines and incorporate sustainability initiatives within all future industrial developments.

The OCP's action plan prioritizes various policy items that require completion. The action plan stipulates that revision to the Development Permit Area Guidelines for industrial areas is a high priority. Accordingly, the Development Permit Area Guidelines included herein aim to provide for comprehensive design guidelines that will improve the overall design, reduce the environmental 'footprint' and improve the functional aspects of industrial areas in Mission.
Analysis of Proposal
The development permit area guidelines are attached as Schedule A. The design guidelines were created with the input of Planning, Engineering and Environmental Services Staff. The guidelines cover a wide range of form and character aspects that will provide for improved industrial development within Mission. All new industrial development will have to adhere to the guidelines in order to allow approval from Council and aid planning staff in the assessment of development proposals. Additionally, the improved guidelines will allow developers and designers to have a clear understating of industrial development requirements in Mission. The following provides an overview of design elements that will be included within the OCP:
Site Planning
Improved diagrams and text will encourage all buildings to be oriented to the street and to buffer loading, parking and unsightly areas through site design. Visually prominent street corners have been identified and will require 'gateway' landscaping and fagade design to anchor the corners.
Building Form and Character
All buildings are to be designed to account for the high visibility of industrial areas and create a visual relationship between building and streetscape. 'Active' ground floors will create a positive public image and promote more pedestrian friendly streets. The overall design requirements will move away from 'boring and box like' industrial buildings to incorporate varying roof designs, protruding features, articulation and incorporation of architectural elements.
Lighting and Signage
Improved lighting guidelines will encourage lighting of architectural features while limiting the 'light pollution' or glare from industrial developments. Simplified signage guidelines will create uniformity of development and provide for more streamlined and modernized signage.
Landscaping
The guidelines encourage all landscaping to buffer blank walls, storage, fencing, loading areas and waste facilities. In addition to beatification of an industrial site, landscaping will be utilized for rain water management and will utilize drought resistant native species.

Parking and Loading
The majority of parking and all loading facilities will not front roadways and will be buffered from the streetscape. Improved site planning and buffering provisions will provide for better industrial development.
Universal Access
Guidelines will improve universal access and safety for mobility challenged persons,
Waste
Refuse receptacles will be stored away from pedestrian view and buffered with the use of landscaping and fencing.
Outdoor storage
Outdoor storage will be minimized and not be visible by the street level pedestrian. Storage will be located between or behind buildings and designed in an unobtrusive manner.
Environmental Sustainability
Landscaping will be encouraged to be designed as a rain water management tool and impervious surfaces will be minimized. Additionally, green roofs are encouraged as a viable rain water management option. Lifestyle improvements such as end of trip facilities (lockers and shower), bike racks and outdoor amenity spaces will be encouraged in all industrial developments.

Rooftops should demonstrate varying elevations, treatments and colour
Where appropriate, all buildings should provide impression of two stories with the use of spandrel glass
Rooftop appurtenances should be visually buffered with lattice work or vegetation
Service bays and loading docks should be recessed while incorporating varying rooflines interest to create architectural
All buildings shall provide an appealing visual appearance using high quality materials, tin or metal buildings will be discouraged in Urban Industrial areas.
119
Roof edge designs should incorporate varying architectural treatments, articulation, elevations, textures, colours and improvements.
Design consideration must create an appealing visual relationship between buildings and streetscape. Specific design
consideration should also extend to the Mission Bridge, all highway bypass traffic, trails and commuter rail viewscape corridors.
Single story construction is not encouraged on public street frontages.
All remaining frontage space not utilized by the public should be treated with architectural and/or landscaping features to maintain a definite and attractive street edge.
Building faces that front streets and corner locations should be developed with 'active' ground floors to create a positive public image and identifiable businesses, while promoting a more pedestrian friendly streetscape.
Extended blank walls along streets should be avoided; exposed surfaces of buildings are encouraged to be finished with murals, painted grooves or dyed concrete block with varied textures and colours to improve blank wall surfaces.
Main building entries should be located and designed to be dearly identified from streets and entry driveways. Include glazing as a major component of street-facing facades.
Rooftop appurtenances such mechanical units, venting, air conditions, rooftop heaters, satellite dishes etc. should be grouped and buffered, to reduce noise and visual intrusion to reduce the visual impact from surrounding uses. The use of lattice work, vegetation or combination thereof is encouraged. A sufficient perimeter around objects should be given for maintenance purposes.
Manufactured mobile structures are not deemed as an appropriate building form.
Service areas, bay doors, loading docks should be recessed to minimize visual impact as well as conflicts with pedestrians.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 10 OF 15 R10-013
Streetside signage for multitenant buildings should be uniform and architecturally coordinated with the building
Landscaping can be incorporated as part of the onsite rain water management system
Lighting and Signage
External lighting should be used to enhance safety of persons on the site after dark.
Pedestrian lighting is encouraged along all pedestrian pathways.
Lighting should be designed so as to have no direct source of light visible from the street or adjacent property. Care should be taken to ensure that lighting glare does not pose a nuisance to pedestrians or motorists.
External and signage lighting should utilize Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology where appropriate.
Up lighting and down lighting is supported to enhance the architectural features of the building.
Signage is to be architecturally co-ordinated with the overall design of the building and should be integrated with the building facade through colour and graphic style.
In multiple tenant buildings signs should be designed to present a unified appearance and should not significantly differentiate in size.
Non-illuminated or directly and indirectly illuminated projecting signs are encouraged to protrude perpendicularly from the facade wall of multi tenant buildings.
Landscaping
Appropriate entrance design and attractive site landscaping at the perimeter of the site, especially at the front and toward adjacent streets, should form an integral part of the site development design.
Frontage of lots will be encouraged to maintain a landscaped area that utilizes street trees, flowering shrubs and landscaped berms. A defined and attractive street edge should be the goal of all landscaping along public streets.
Larger industrial projects and all prominent corner projects should incorporate useable public and private open space, or 'gathering' areas, into their landscaping designs. The use of high quality landscaping and functional (seating friendly) cement/rockwork is encouraged to be incorporated within the streetside landscaping.
All planted shrubs used for landscaping should incorporate mature, low growing and weather resistant species. The extensive use of bark mulch without plantings should be minimized.
All vegetation used for landscaping should compliment a building's architectural features.
Landscaping should screen parking areas and outdoor storage from street view with the use of vegetation, berms and low-rise rockwork walls.
FILE PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 11 OF 15 R10-013

Strategic use of permeable pavers is encouraged throughout parking areas
Where appropriate, use qfpavement markings, stamped concrete and paving stones is encouraged
Where applicable, trees and landscaping should be used to buffer interior parking from any barren walls of pre-existing neighbouring industrial buildings
Vegetation or trees should not impede vehicular sight distances from entrance and exit points.
To limit required maintenance, all landscaping should incorporate native plants and/or drought resistant species and utilize xeri-scape principles. Where practical, the use of evergreen and colourful deciduous plantings should be employed to promote seasonal greenery.
In order to encourage energy efficiency and conservation, all trees utilized, at mature height, should not impede winter daylight into buildings and provide shade in summer. •
Parking & Loading Areas
Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the interior or rear of a site.
The majority of parking and all loading areas should be located between or to the rear of buildings, with access from internal circulation of the site.
The strategic use of permeable parking pavers at entrances and pedestrian corridors is encouraged to improve surface drainage and to create visual interest within parking areas.
Surface area parking should be divided into smaller sections to avoid a monotonous appearance. Intermittent use of landscaping strips, trees, building edges, pedestrian pathways and pavement treatment between parking stalls will enhance the visual appearance of elongated parking areas.
Parking areas adjacent to public roadways should provide low-level landscaped buffer between the parking and the public realm.
Parking areas should facilitate convenient and safe pedestrian access between building entrances, parked cars and sidewalks of adjoining streets. Features such as distinct paving should be incorporated where appropriate and pedestrian movement should be designed to avoid any obstruction by parked vehicles.
Crosswalks should be clearly designated through the use of pavement markings, stamped concrete, paving stones and signage where appropriate.
Universal Access
All parking allocated for mobility challenged people should be located as close as possible to the main entrance to the building.
All pedestrian pathways should be fully accessible to mobility challenged people. Sidewalks and pathways should be wide enough for wheelchairs and scooters and should include a tactile strip where appropriate. Gradual slope curb-cuts and curb let-downs should be provided in appropriate locations to facilitate safe, direct and convenient access from parking areas.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 12 OF 15 R10-013
121
Where appropriate, bioretention areas should be incorporated into the landscaping and parking design
Waste and Recycling
Waste management facilities are to be completely screened by landscaping vegetation and/or wood fencing and/or by a constructed enclosure with similar features of the building for which it serves.
Refuse receptacles should be located indoors or within service areas out of view from pedestrian access. Garbage and waste material should be stored in containers that are weather and animal resistant.
122
Waste management areas should provide room for recycling and composting
Consideration should be given to provide access for large garbage collection vehicles during site design and waste facilities should be stored at the rear of buildings.
Recycling and compost containers should be provided as part of disposal area facilities. Accordingly, industrial facilities should provide an area applicable to at least four (4) conventional sized dumpsters to provide for recycling and compost containers.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage areas are encouraged to be located at the rear or side of the building, and designed in an unobtrusive manner.
Outdoor storage is encouraged to be minimized, and where present, be visually buffered by landscaped berms, trees and substantial site landscaping.
Security lighting of outdoor storage areas is not to illuminate Privacy slates may be utilized as screening adjacent or nearby properties to intensity greater than alternatives provided they are similar in existing street lights adjacent to nearby impacted sites. colour to the building's facade.
Environmental Sustainability Design Principals
Rainwater Management:
New developments are encouraged to maintain pre-development rainwater runoff conditions where landscaping should be included as part of the onsite rainwater management system.
Techniques such as:
• bioretention areas,
• rain gardens,
• infiltration trenches,
• vegetated swales,
• directing rainwater from drain pipes into
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 13 OF 15 R10-013
• vegetated areas, or
• rain barrels for irrigation use later,
• pervious paving materials, and
• green roofs
are all encouraged to be incorporated as part of the overall design of the site and buildings.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction:
Developments are encouraged to provide end-of-trip facilities such as showers and lockers within the development for the convenience of employees.
All buildings should provide exterior bike lock apparatuses and secure indoor bike storage for employees.
Interior office, public or display areas should have a southern orientation with ample windows for natural light.
For industrial developments with multiple tenancies, outdoor amenity spaces with lunch benches and southern exposure located near the street are encouraged for the convenience of employees.
5. Exemption
A development proposing to construct a new building(s) or an addition to an existing building(s) less than 111.5 sq. m. and existing signage alterations will be evaluated by staff 'in-house' to ensure consistence with the intent of Development Permit Area Guidelines and will be exempt from requiring a Development Permit.

Appendix 1 Sustainability Statement
ON THE FRASER Sustainability Statement
Industrial Development
Introduction
The purpose of this sustainability statement is to identify and evaluate attributes of an industrial development prior to consideration by District of Mission staff and Council. The District of Mission uses the sustainability statement to clearly identify the environmental initiatives proposed within an industrial development. As a benefit to the developer, the sustainability statement consolidates information early in the design process and provides the developer's designers, architects and engineers an opportunity to showcase the environmental initiatives undertaken by each industrial development.
Required Information
Please provide information that relates to the various points below. All claims must be provided for within the building elevations, site plans or engineer's drawings and must be submitted prior to Council consideration. This sustainability statement must be completed by a professional engineer or architect and all aspects of the sustainability statement will be ensured through the building permit process. Although all industrial buildings within the District of Mission are not required to be LEED certified, the LEED Canada Project Checklist provides an extensive list of environmental initiatives that should be undertaken within your development proposal. The list below may be expanded depending on your development proposal and should be provided upon company letterhead as part of your development submission package.
• Rainwater Management (Impervious Surface Reduction, green roof treatment, rain barrels or cisterns, etc.)
• Recycling and Composting Facilities
• Water Use Reduction (Low consumption fixtures, grey water systems, rainwater recycling, water efficient landscaping etc.)
• Energy Efficiency (High performance envelopes, low energy consumption appliances, passive solar gain, renewable energy systems or pre plumbing for solar panels etc.)
• Materials and Resources (Locally obtained building materials, recycled content, construction waste management etc.)
• Social Sustainability (End of trip facilities, bike storage, landscaped gathering places, light pollution reduction etc.)

• Materials and Resources (Locally obtained building materials, recycled content, construction waste management etc.)
• Social Sustainability (End of trip facilities, bike storage, landscaped gathering places, light pollution reduction etc.)"
2. That Official Community Plan Bylaw 5137-2010-4052(9) be forwarded to a Public Hearing on February 28, 2011, given that new information and requirements will form part of the bylaw.
3. That planning staff be instructed to modify LAN. 41 "Guide to Land Development" to require all industrial development applicants to submit a "Sustainability Statement" with all Development Permit, Industrial Temporary Use Permit and Rezoning applications.
Background
Council received a report from the planning department on April 19, 2010 (Schedule 'A') which proposed to incorporate improved 'form and character' development permit area guidelines for
PAGE 1 OF 15
industrial developments within the OCR The OCP amending bylaw was provided 1st reading and forwarded to Public Hearing on May 25, 2010; whereby, Council and residents raised a number of questions related to guideline text ambiguities.
Planning Analysis
The majority of questions were not related to the 'form and character' and site planning guidelines put forward by staff; rather, comments were mainly focused on overall environmental concerns and issues associated to rainwater management. The issues raised are summarized below and have been extracted from the minutes of the May 25, 2010 Public Hearing:
Impervious Paving
Council wished to incorporate stronger language within the development permit guidelines in order to ensure that all new industrial developments utilize permeable paving materials.
`Form and character' development permit guidelines are implemented within the OCP to direct developers as to what type of development is envisioned within a community. These same guidelines also assist Council and to staff assess development projects and whether the development proposal meets or exceeds the development permit area guidelines. Guidelines purposefully do not use prescriptive words or regulatory languaje;IUW5Tuie- or 'require'; rather, guidelines often utilize words like 'should' and `encourage' in their place. Language that is more advisable than obligatory within the development permit guidelines will provide the developer, staff and Council flexibility in the application of the guidelines.
Upon instruction from Council, planning staff can readily insert prescriptive words throughout the industrial development permit area guidelines. However, if a certain development cannot meet all the prescribed requirements, a development proposal would have to be denied or necessitate an OCP amendment. Compulsory requirements may not be feasible on all development sites due to physical or economic reasons. As compulsory language would provide inflexibility in the application of the development permit guidelines, planning staff recommends that the proposed 'advisory' language remain unchanged.
It must be noted that planning staff currently works with developers to redesign facades, alter landscape plans, and encourage sustainable building technologies in order to minimize any environmental impacts and decrease each development's 'ecological footprint'.
Environmental Focus
Council also expressed a desire for a stronger environmental focus within the guidelines. Planning staff have already incorporated a number of environmental sustainability design principals into the proposed development permit guidelines which mainly address rainwater management, recycling and landscaping. Planning staff suggest that the proposed advisory guideline language remain unchanged; however, in an effort to ensure all developments incorporate sustainable design principals, planning staff suggest that a "Sustainability Statement' be submitted by all developers. This statement must outline all sustainability initiatives that will be incorporated within a development proposal. All improvements must be verifiable to the planning and building departments and must address:
• Rainwater Management (Impervious Surface Reduction, green roof treatment, rain barrels or cisterns, etc.)
• Recycling and Composting Facilities
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 2 OF 15 R10-013
126
• Water Use Reduction (Low consumption fixtures, grey water systems, rainwater recycling, water efficient landscaping etc.)
• Energy Efficiency (High performance envelopes, low energy consumption appliances, passive solar gain, renewable energy systems or pre plurhbing for solar panels etc.)
• Materials and Resources (Locally obtained building materials, recycled content, construction waste management etc.)
• Social Sustainability (End of trip facilities, bike storage, landscaped gathering places, light pollution reduction etc.)
The proposed "Sustainability Statement", which will be required by the developer as part of a development application, is presented in Appendix 1. The sustainability statement will offer the developer and staff flexibility while still effectively gauging a development's sustainability initiatives. This sustainability statement will be required at the beginning of the development process and may be used to determine whether the proposal has incorporated fundamental improvements that provide a more sustainable development.
It is also noted that this type of sustainability statement may be extended to all types of development (commercial, multi-family, compact residential) to better consider the environmental effects of various developments. Eventually environmental services, with the assistance of the planning department, will put forward a "Sustainability Checklist" for Council's consideration. As an initiative outlined within the OCP, the "Sustainability Checklist" will effectually allow staff and Council to score major developments on all aspects of environmental standards (materials, permeability, land use, density etc.).
Recommendation
Planning staff recommends that advisory text within the industrial development permit guidelines remain unchanged; yet amend guideline text which will require developers to submit a sustainability statement with all industrial development applications. The guidelines will ultimately provide developers, planning staff and Council flexibility in the application of the industrial development permit guidelines and incorporate sustainability initiatives within all future industrial developments.

Roof edge designs should incorporate varying architectural treatments, articulation, elevations, textures, colours and improvements.
Design consideration must create an appealing visual relationship between buildings and streetscape. Specific design
consideration should also extend to the Mission Bridge, all highway bypass traffic, trails and commuter rail viewscape corridors.
Single story construction is not encouraged on public street frontages.
All remaining frontage space not utilized by the public should be treated with architectural and/or landscaping features to maintain a definite and attractive street edge.
Building faces that front streets and corner locations should be developed with 'active' ground floors to create a positive public image and identifiable businesses, while promoting a more pedestrian friendly streetscape.
Extended blank walls along streets should be avoided; exposed surfaces of buildings are encouraged to be finished with murals, painted grooves or dyed concrete block with varied textures and colours to improve blank wall surfaces.
Main building entries should be located and designed to be clearly identified from streets and entry driveways. Include glazing as a major component of street-facing facades.
Rooftop appurtenances such mechanical units, venting, air conditions, rooftop heaters, satellite dishes etc. should be grouped and buffered, to reduce noise and visual intrusion to reduce the visual impact from surrounding uses. The use of lattice work, vegetation or combination thereof is encouraged. A sufficient perimeter around objects should be given for maintenance purposes.
Manufactured mobile structures are not deemed as an appropriate building form.
Service areas, bay doors, loading docks should be recessed to minimize visual impact as well as conflicts with pedestrians.
Rooftops should demonstrate varying elevations, treatments and colour
Where appropriate, all buildings should provide impression of two stories with the use of spandrel glass
Rooftop appurtenances should be visually buffered with lattice work or vegetation
Service bays and loading docks should be recessed while incorporating varying rooflines interest to create architectural

Streetside signage for multitenant buildings should be uniform and architecturally coordinated with the building
Landscaping can be incorporated as part of the onsite rain water management system
Lighting and Signage
External lighting should be used to enhance safety of persons on the site after dark.
Pedestrian lighting is encouraged along all pedestrian pathways.
Lighting should be designed so as to have no direct source of light visible from the street or adjacent property. Care should be taken to ensure that lighting glare does not pose a nuisance to pedestrians or motorists.
135
External and signage lighting should utilize Light-Emitting Diode (LED) technology where appropriate.
Up lighting and down lighting is supported to enhance the architectural features of the building.
Signage is to be architecturally co-ordinated with the overall design of the building and should be integrated with the building façade through colour and graphic style.
In multiple tenant buildings signs should be designed to present a unified appearance and should not significantly differentiate in size.
Non-illuminated or directly and indirectly illuminated projecting signs are encouraged to protrude perpendicularly from the façade wall of multi tenant buildings.
Landscaping
Appropriate entrance design and attractive site landscaping at the perimeter of the site, especially at the front and toward adjacent streets, should form an integral part of the site development design.
Frontage of lots will be encouraged to maintain a landscaped area that utilizes street trees, flowering shrubs and landscaped berms. A defined and attractive street edge should be the goal of all landscaping along public streets.
Larger industrial projects and all prominent corner projects should incorporate useable public and private open space, or 'gathering' areas, into their landscaping designs. The use of high quality landscaping and functional (seating friendly) cement/rockwork is encouraged to be incorporated within the streetside landscaping.
All planted shrubs used for landscaping should incorporate mature, low growing and weather resistant species. The extensive use of bark mulch without plantings should be minimized.
All vegetation used for landscaping should compliment a building's architectural features.
Landscaping should screen parking areas and outdoor storage from street view with the use of vegetation, berms and low-rise rockwork walls.

PAGE 11 OF 15 R10-013
Strategic use of permeable pavers is encouraged throughout parking areas
Where appropriate, use of pavement markings, stamped concrete and paving stones is encouraged
Where applicable, trees and landscaping should be used to buffer interior parking from any barren walls of pre-existing neighbouring industrial buildings
Vegetation or trees should not impede vehicular sight distances from entrance and exit points.
To limit required maintenance, all landscaping should incorporate native plants and/or drought resistant species and utilize xeri-scape principles. Where practical, the use of evergreen and colourful deciduous plantings should be employed to promote seasonal greenery.
In order to encourage energy efficiency and conservation, all trees utilized, at mature height, should not impede winter daylight into buildings and provide shade in summer.
Parking & Loading Areas
Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the interior or rear of a site.
The majority of parking and all loading areas should be located between or to the rear of buildings, with access from internal circulation of the site.
The strategic use of permeable parking pavers at entrances and pedestrian corridors is encouraged to improve surface drainage and to create visual interest within parking areas.
Surface area parking should be divided into smaller sections to avoid a monotonous appearance. Intermittent use of landscaping strips, trees, building edges, pedestrian pathways and pavement treatment between parking stalls will enhance the visual appearance of elongated parking areas.
Parking areas adjacent to public roadways should provide low-level landscaped buffer between the parking and the public realm.
Parking areas should facilitate convenient and safe pedestrian access between building entrances, parked cars and sidewalks of adjoining streets. Features such as distinct paving should be incorporated where appropriate and pedestrian movement should be designed to avoid any obstruction by parked vehicles.
Crosswalks should be clearly designated through the use of pavement markings, stamped concrete, paving stones and signage where appropriate.
Universal Access
All parking allocated for mobility challenged people should be located as close as possible to the main entrance to the building.
All pedestrian pathways should be fully accessible to mobility challenged people. Sidewalks and pathways should be wide enough for wheelchairs and scooters and should include a tactile strip where appropriate. Gradual slope curb-cuts and curb let-downs should be provided in appropriate locations to facilitate safe, direct and convenient access from parking areas.

Waste management areas should provide room for recycling and composting
Where appropriate, bioretention areas should be incorporated into the landscaping and parking design
Waste and Recycling
Waste management facilities are to be completely screened by landscaping vegetation and/or wood fencing and/or by a constructed enclosure with similar features of the building for which it serves.
Refuse receptacles should be located indoors or within service areas out of view from pedestrian access. Garbage and waste material should be stored in containers that are weather and animal resistant.
137
Consideration should be given to provide access for large garbage collection vehicles during site design and waste facilities should be stored at the rear of buildings.
Recycling and compost containers should be provided as part of disposal area facilities. Accordingly, industrial facilities should provide an area applicable to at least four (4) conventional sized dumpsters to provide for recycling and compost containers.
Outdoor Storage
Outdoor storage areas are encouraged to be located at the rear or side of the building, and designed in an unobtrusive manner.
Outdoor storage is encouraged to be minimized, and where present, be visually buffered by landscaped berms, trees and substantial site landscaping.
Security lighting of outdoor storage areas is not to illuminate Privacy slates may be utilized as screening adjacent or nearby properties to intensity greater than alternatives provided they are similar in existing street lights adjacent to nearby impacted sites. colour to the building's façade.
Environmental Sustainability Design Principals
Rainwater Management:
New developments are encouraged to maintain pre-development rainwater runoff conditions where landscaping should be included as part of the onsite rainwater management system.
Techniques such as:
■ bioretention areas,
■ rain gardens,
■ infiltration trenches,
■ vegetated swales,
■ directing rainwater from drain pipes into
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 13 OF 15 R10-013
• vegetated areas, or
• rain barrels for irrigation use later,
■ pervious paving materials, and
■ green roofs
are all encouraged to be incorporated as part of the overall design of the site and buildings.
Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction:
Developments are encouraged to provide end-of-trip facilities such as showers and lockers within the development for the convenience of employees.
All buildings should provide exterior bike lock apparatuses and secure indoor bike storage for employees.
Interior office, public or display areas should have a southern orientation with ample windows for natural light.
For industrial developments with multiple tenancies, outdoor amenity spaces with lunch benches and southern exposure located near the street are encouraged for the convenience of employees.

PAGE 1 OF 6
5. That the Community Amenity Contribution (LAN.40 — FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY AMENITIES POLICY) not be applied to Rezoning Application R11-009 (8352 Cedar Street, 32821 Janzen Avenue and 32835 Janzen Avenue).
6. That in accordance with Section 882 of the Local Government Act, Council has considered District of Mission Official Community Plan amending bylaws in conjunction with the District of Mission's Financial Plan (includes Capital Expenditure Plan and Operating Expenditure Plan) and Waste Management Plan.
Background
An application has been received from Mission Association for Seniors' Housing (MASH), to rezone the properties located at 8352 Cedar Street, 32821 Janzen Avenue and 32835 Janzen Avenue from the S36 zone to the MA-135 zone and the subject site is shown on Map 1, The proposed development is for a 42 unit seniors' apartment and the property size is approximately 1 acre (.4 ha.) once the lots are consolidated.
Official Community Plan Designation
The Official Community Plan designation for the site is Seniors Congregate and the applicant has requested an Official Community Plan change from Seniors Congregate to Apartment. This is due to the proposal having individual kitchens within the units rather than a congregate format, where, for example, meals are provided in a common dining room. Thus, this type of seniors' apartment development falls within the Apartment designation rather than the Seniors Congregate designation. It is noted that both designations result in similar densities.
Impact of Application under Section 882 of Local Government Act
The Local Government Act requires that when Council is considering adopting or amending an Official Community Plan, it must consider the implications of the change to the Official Community Plan on the District's:
• Financial Plan (includes Capital Expenditure Plan and Operating Expenditure Plan); and
• Waste Management Plan,
Since the proposed development is part of an existing Waste Management route and development of this area is included in the current long-range plan, there is no impact to the Waste Management Plan.
Having regard to the above, it is considered that the proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the District's Financial Plan, which includes the Capital Expenditure Plan and Operation Expenditure Plan, and Waste Management Plan and accordingly, recommends that Council pass the above recommendation.
Zoning
The subject property is zoned S36, the Suburban 36 zone. The rezoning application is to rezone the property from the S36 zone (Suburban 36 zone) which allows single family home development to the MA-135 zone (Multiple Family 135 Apartment zone) which allows for apartment development.
FILE• PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 2 OF 6 R11-009 and PRO.DEV.DEV. DP11-006
143
Neighbourhood Character
The neighbourhood character is a mixture of institutional, residential and commercial uses. Adjacent to the subject property is the Cedar Valley Mennonite church and single family houses, To the north is Albert McMahon Elementary School, to the east is Griner Park, to the west is the Cherry Hill Corner Store, single family houses, and two other churches (north-west) and to the south are also houses,
Housing Affordability and Accessibility
The applicant, MASH, has been instrumental in housing initiatives in Mission, including the Cedars seniors' housing located on Hurd Street. This apartment proposal for the subject property is also for the purpose of affordable seniors' housing and representatives of MASH have met with staff a number of times regarding the affordable and accessibility aspects of this proposal.
The form of tenure that MASH is proposing for the apartment units is life lease housing. Life lease housing is a cross between owning and renting. For details about life lease housing, please see the attached Appendix A. MASH is a non-profit organization and will own the building .and then lease out the units. In addition, it is noted that MASH plans to market the units at cost.
Accessibility/universal access is provided, firstly, in a general way in that apartment units are one floor of living space, unlike most townhouse units that have two or three floors. Secondly, in a more detailed.way, accessibility is provided in this development in the form of three units that are adaptable to full wheelchair accessibility at the time of construction or as retrofit in the future, depending on demand. It is noted that unit sizes range from approximately 700 square feet to 927 square feet.
Subdivision and Road Closure
The subdivision of the property involves the consolidation of the three parcels of land that are the subject properties of this rezoning application. Janzen Avenue is substandard due to road width and is utilized more as a driveway than a municipal road. Thus, MASH requested the closure of Janzen Avenue and the road closure process is proceeding. It is noted that when Janzen Avenue is closed, the land area (former road) is to be consolidated with the three parcels. It is also noted that an easement is required over the land area to provide access for the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church and a right-of-way for pedestrian access from Cedar Street to Griner Park. Representatives of the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church have also agreed to give an easement to MASH over their driveway from Cherry Avenue, thus providing a second access to the MASH site.
Internal Comments
The Engineering Rezoning Comments are attached and Fire Department comments are forthcoming.
A traffic impact assessment was provided by the applicant's engineer and reviewed by the Engineering Department. A traffic impact assessment with amendments has since been requested by the Engineering Department.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 3 OF 6 R11-009 and PRO.DEV.DEV. DP11-006
144
Prior to consideration of adoption of the zone amendment bylaw, the Engineering Department requirements will need to be met and it is noted that all the engineering requirements have not been determined due to the need of further information from the applicant's engineer.
Time is of the essence for this much needed seniors' housing project and staff has determined to move forward with this application before all the engineering information has been received. It is noted that all the engineering requirements will be determined at a later date and will need to be resolved before consideration of adoption. It is also noted that the applicant is aware that engineering requirements will need to be met prior to consideration of adoption.
Staff believes that there is minimal risk to proceed further without all the engineering requirements being resolved at this time. This is an effort to move this application forward so that the applicant can market the development and secure the monies to pay for the engineering works and other development costs.
External Referrals
The only external referral for this application is to the utility companies of Telus, BC Hydro and Fortis BC.
Access and Parking
It is staff's understanding that access is to be from Cedar Street (right in and right out) and also from Cherry Avenue (over the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church property via an easement). As noted previously in this report, a traffic impact assessment with amendments has been requested by the Engineering Department to address the access details.
There are 42 parking spaces provided — one per apartment unit — and these parking spaces are underground (gated). This parking ratio is more than what is required for seniors' congregate housing, which would equal 32 parking spaces for 42 units but less than required under the multi-family apartment zone. Staff supports the one parking space per unit for this site because it is a seniors' apartment building and a seniors' building will generate less parking needs. There are also 8 visitor parking spaces provided at the front of the building adjacent to Janzen Avenue (Drawing A).
It is noted that there is ample parking on the adjacent church property and it is anticipated that if there are special events at the seniors' apartment this church parking may be able to be utilized by the seniors' guests (when there are no church services or events on-going). This agreement is to be more fully developed with the representatives of the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church.
Setbacks and Height
The setbacks all meet the zoning bylaw minimum of 7.5 metres (24.5 ft.) and the siting of the building is shown on Drawing A. The proposed apartment building is four storeys (with underground parking) and the height of the building is approximately 52 feet.
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 4 OF 6 R11-009 and PRO.DEV.DEV. DP11-006
145
Indoor and Outdoor Amenity Space
There is indoor amenity space of approximately 135 square metres (1453 sq. ft.) provided in the form of an amenity room with kitchen facilities and a separate lounge area on the main floor and smaller lounge areas on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is also a lobby that is approximately 66.8 square metres (720 sq. ft.).
The outdoor amenity space includes a common patio, sifting areas, pathways, garden plots, lawn and a gazebo. The total area equates to 2802 square metres (30,163 sq. ft). In addition, there are patios for units on the ground floor. It is noted that the indoor and outdoor amenity spaces exceed the zoning bylaw requirements.
Community Amenity Contribution
"Consider incentives for seniors housing rezoning applications, on a case-specific basis, where community housing goals are being met" is Policy 2.5,13. of the Official Community Plan. The Mission Association for Seniors' Housing proposal for a seniors' apartment with a life lease housing tenure meets a community housing goal as determined by staff and through Mission's Affordable Housing Strategy. Therefore, an incentive as outlined below should be supported.
A letter from the Mission Association for Seniors' Housing requesting the waiving of the Community Amenity Contribution is attached as Appendix B. Please note that this request is in keeping with the same type of requests by other seniors' housing developments in the past such as both phases of Carrington House on 7th and 6th Avenues, the Cedars on Hurd Street, and Cedarbrooke Chateau (Kingsway Arms) on 7th Avenue. Those developments received Council support to waive the Community Amenity Contribution.
The current Community Amenity Contribution for multi-family developments is $2,815 per unit and therefore, a 42 unit apartment would equate to a waiver of $118,230.
The waiving of the Community Amenity Contribution will help keep the costs down for the development of the units. If the housing project costs less, then in turn, there is less cost to the seniors who would be leasing the units because MASH has advised that they will be marketing the apartment units at cost.
Staff supports the waiving of the Community Amenity Contribution for this rezoning application.
Development Permit Application DP11- 006 (Form and Character)
The building materials, colours and architectural design complements the neighbourhood character and existing landscape. The apartment building is four storeys with one level of underground parking. The style of the architecture is quite traditional in a general sense, with some "craftsman" touches. The architect's statement is as follows:
"The primary objective in the design was to reduce the perceived scale of the building, both in terms of length and height. This was achieved by avoiding long continuous facades through floor plan articulation, addition of bay windows and generous balconies. The perceived vertical scale of the building was reduced through the introduction of secondary roofs and porch-like elements at ground floor level, bay windows at second and third floors and use of colour differentiation and a variety of materials. Sloping roofs with expressed gables were also used to further reinforce the residential character and scale of the project".
FILE: PRO.DEV.ZON PAGE 5 OF 6 R11-009 and PRO.DEV.DEV. DP11-006
146
Materials for the apartment building include hardi-plank lap siding, hardi-panel, and colour coated stucco, There is also wood trim and wood fascia boards included. In addition, the roof material is asphalt shingles. The elevation drawings are attached as Drawing B and Drawing C. Colours are dark taupe, beige, cream, off-white and a natural wood stain.
Landscaping
Attractive landscaping has been incorporated into the design of this multi-family development. Landscaping includes a variety of trees (dogwood and fir) and bushes (roses and hydrangea), and daylilies, bluebells, and groundcovers. They are retaining approximately 14 trees, removing 6 smaller trees due to health and location of the trees, and planting approximately 40 trees. Garden plots are being provided along with seating areas (benches), pathways around the apartment building and a common patio area. It is noted that a 6 foot high wood fence is along most of the east, north and west property lines. The landscaping plan is attached as Drawing D. The landscaping estimate is approximately $90,000.
Public Hearing Information Package
In accordance with Council Policy LAN.50 — PRE-PUBLIC HEARING INFO. PACKAGES, a package will be produced containing material related to the development application.
Requirements Prior to Adoption of the Zone Amending Bylaw
• Comments from Referrals regarding the proposed OCP amendment
• Engineering requirements
• Easements (for access) between MASH and the Cedar Valley Mennonite Church (Cedar Street and Cherry Avenue) and a right-of-way for pedestrian access to Griner Park
• Approval of Development Permit DP11-006 will be considered as part of the same Council agenda as the Official Community Plan and Zone Amending Bylaws are considered.
• Any other items that Council may require resulting from the Public Hearing or Council consideration of the application.
In summary, staff recommends that the rezoning amendment, the Official Community Plan amendment, and the Development Permit proceed to Public Hearing and Public Input meeting on July 25, 2011.

Life Lease Housing
Life lease is a form of tenure that works very well for non-profit organizations that want to build and operate good quality housing for seniors in their communities.
Many people are unfamiliar with life lease housing although it has been around for 30 years in Canada. In Manitoba, where the first life lease housing project in Canada was built in the early 1980s, it is an extremely common form of tenure for 55+ consumers. In Saskatchewan, life lease housing is just as common as it is in Manitoba. There are fewer life lease projects in BC, although more and more are being developed every year. They have been very successful too—for example, the two Maple Ridge Legion life lease projects have waiting lists that are five to eight years long. Cascade Court, a life lease in Abbotsford, has more than 100 people on its waiting list
That is because of the high level of satisfaction among life lease residents. A recent report published by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation found that every one of the life lease residents involved in the study were extremely happy with their housing choice and would recommend life lease to their friends.
Basic Nature of Life Lease Housing
The basic nature of a life lease is that it is a cross between owning and renting. People buy their units and their leasehold interest is registered on title. Leases are 30 years less a day because leases under 30 years in BC are not subject to Property Transfer Tax. When people move out, they get their money back less a small deduction for refurbishing and remarketing. Ownership of the building remains with the not-for-profit organization. MASH has created a separate housing society to own and operate its life lease, the Cedar Valley Manor Life Lease Society.
Affordability
Once a unit is returned to the Society, the Society then resells the leasehold interest at no more than 50% of the increase that has occurred in the local housing market since the unit was bought initially. For example, if the unit was sold for $200,000 ten years ago and market values had increased by 50% over that time period (meaning a $200,000 condo would now be worth $300,000) the resale price of the life lease unit would only increase by 25%, to $250,000. Over time, the life lease units will become more and more affordable compared to the local housing market
Benefits to the Community
It is not just life lease residents who benefit from the creation of good quality affordable housing in their communities. The communities themselves benefit as well—housing units that are frequently occupied by one or two people can be freed up for new families, people who sell their houses and buy a less expensive life lease unit have more money to spend in the community, and the development of new and appealing housing units makes the community more attractive to prospective residents.

Dayie Reti, Planner District of Mission Mission, BC
Dear Ms. Reti:
Re: Amenity Fees
The Mission Association of Seniors Housing (MASH) has submitted a Rezoning Application for a new project for affordable seniors housing.
We believe our life lease project will add a significant amenity to the community, increasing the options for seniors to remain in Mission, and potentially to attract some back who may have left due to such an option not being available to them earlier.
We also believe that seniors housing does not represent the same level of burden on the various municipal amenities that other forms of residential developments bring.
Therefore, we are requesting consideration for the waiving of the amenity fees for this project. Such a waiver will assist in increasing the affordability of the units since our plan is to market them at cost, and this will be one less cost we need to recover from the seniors.
