At its meeting immediately following the Standing Committee on City Services and Budgets, Vancouver City Council approved the recommendations of the Committee as set out in its report dated January 20, 2000.
1. Interim City-Wide Development Cost Levy By-Law: Boundary Adjustment & Implementation in Granville Slopes
A. THAT the Interim City-wide Development Cost Levy (DCL) District boundary approved by Council, July 6, 1999, be amended to include the Granville Slopes Concept Plan area within the City-wide DCL boundary, and to establish the area shown in Figure 1 as the Interim City-wide DCL District.
B. THAT the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) rate for Granville Slopes Concept Plan area rezonings (currently $6.30 per square foot), be reduced by an amount equal to the Interim City-wide DCL ($2.50 per square foot), making the revised Granville Slopes CAC rate $3.80 per square foot (subject to future rate adjustments).
C. THAT, to maintain existing agreements to repay the Property Endowment Fund (PEF) for park acquisition within the Granville Slopes Concept Plan area, all DCL and CAC levies collected from within the Granville Slopes area be applied to repaying the PEF; and
FURTHER THAT, staff administer the City-wide DCL account so that this application of City-wide DCLs to the Granville Slopes park does not:
· affect future decisions on the allocation of City-wide DCLs (collected from developments outside of Granville Slopes) to parks; or
· result in City-wide DCLs (collected from development outside of Granville Slopes) being allocated to the Granville Slopes park.
