REPORT REFERENCE
1. Vancouver Transportation Plan
May 13, 1997 File: 5560-1
In a Policy Report dated May 13, 1997, the Transportation Planning
Team proposed a Transportation Plan for the City of Vancouver. Also
before Council was an Administrative Report dated May 13, 1997 entitled
Public Consultation Report on the Draft Transportation Plan, which was
submitted for information. A brief dated May 2, 1997 from the Vancouver
Economic Development Commission was also before Council.
Mr. Peter Judd, Transportation Planning Team advised that Vancouver
already has in place the following attributes which are consistent with
the objectives of the Transportation Plan:
- A grid street system which is conducive to walking and
transit;
- Retail which is pedestrian friendly, made possible by
residential development in Vancouver which has retail and
services available;
- Full Buses and people waiting to get on buses. No advertising
is required to show the benefits for using buses;
- Vancouver s downtown has vibrant retail at street level, with
high residential density to support it.
Mr. Judd stated the Transportation Plan being recommended to
Council provides a transportation alternative with less reliance on the
car. It presents a vision to accommodate growth in travel demand in
Vancouver through primarily transit improvements without increasing the
overall capacity for vehicle movement. Expanding bridges and highways
to accommodate the car is impossible from a cost and livability
standpoint, and this measure would still likely be unsuccessful in
accommodating the increased traffic associated with population growth.
The Transportation Plan contains the following attributes:
- A greater reliance on transit to destinations well served by
transit;
- More frequent service, and a greater variety of services;
- More customer focus on the street for transit, i.e. bigger bus
shelters, more amenities for transit users, bus bulges;
- A greater pedestrian focus in neighbourhoods by controlling
speed and volume of traffic and enabling easier pedestrian
movement and street crossings;
- Cycling will have more complete networks and clearly marked
bicycle routes;
- In terms of economic viability associated with goods movement,
the best way to move goods and vehicles associated with goods
movement is to provide alternatives for trips made by single-
occupancy vehicles.
MOVED by Cllr. Price,
THAT the recommendations of the Transportation Planning Team, as
contained in the May 13, 1997 Administrative Report and quoted below, be
approved:
A. THAT Council adopt the Transportation Plan (Appendix B), as
amended, including the mode split targets which emphasise the
need for increased provision and use of transit; limiting
overall road capacity to the present level; maintaining an
efficient goods movement network; traffic calming in
neighbourhoods; and providing more comfortable biking and
walking environments.
B. THAT Council instruct the General Manager of Engineering
Services and the Director of City Plans to report back by
September on a joint Engineering/Planning implementation
program based on action items scheduled for completion "within
3 years", as outlined in Chapter 3 of the Transportation Plan
(Appendix B); and to include priorities, resources, and
timing.
C. THAT Council instruct the General Manager of Engineering
Services and the Director of City Plans to monitor
implementation of the Transportation Plan and report to
Council, prior to the next Capital Plan budget preparation, on
initiatives to further the Transportation Plan.
D. THAT Council instruct staff to reference the Transportation
Plan policies when reporting on transportation initiatives and
the General Manager of Engineering Services and the Director
of City Plans to report back, as required, with suggested
amendments to the Transportation Plan to address new issues or
reflect new Council policies.
FURTHER THAT Item #4 of Page 30 of the Policy Report dated May 13,
1997 be amended to clarify that the City supports three new LRT lines,
including a Broadway-Lougheed-Coquitlam line.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
MOVED by Cllr. Price,
THAT Council commend the team on its achievements in working on
this challenging task in a short time period, crossing departmental
boundaries and involving the public in the discussion.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
MOVED by Cllr. Clarke,
THAT the Administrative Report dated May 13, 1997, and brief dated
May 27, 1997, from the Vancouver Economic Development Commission, be
received for information.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
1. CD-1 Text Amendment, 800-1100 Pacific Boulevard
(Quayside Neighbourhood, Concord Pacific Place)
Payment-in-Lieu for Non- Family Non-Market Housing
May 6, 1997 File: 5307-1
Council, at its meeting on May 13, 1997, deferred consideration of
this Policy Report, to allow additional time to consider the
implications of the report.
Mr. Cameron Gray, Manager Housing Centre, provided background to
the report, noting the Federal Government no longer provides funding for
non-market housing and the Provincial Government has reduced its
contribution. These actions have impacted the 20% Non-market Housing
Policy which was adopted by Council in 1988. Given the funding
reductions it is unlikely the Quayside non-market sites will receive
funding this year. This, coupled with the fact construction is
scheduled to proceed for the sites on which the non-market housing was
to be built, jeopardizes the City s ability to achieve this non-market
housing. A complicating factor is the non-market housing on one site
would be located on top of a 2-storey commercial podium. This makes it
difficult to build the housing in the future.
The application before Council would refer to Public Hearing an
option in which Concord Pacific would be allowed to develop these sites
originally I intended for non-market housing, as market housing, on the
condition Concord Pacific provides the City with a payment-in-lieu.
In response to a question from Council, Mr. Jonathan Barret,
Development Planner, responded staff are endeavouring to meet Concord
Pacific s development targets.
MOVED by Cllr. Chiavario,
A. THAT Council instruct the Director of Land Use and Development
to make application to amend CD-1 By-law 7248 and the False
Creek North Official Development Plan, as set out in Appendix
A of the Policy Report dated May 6, 1997, to allow two non-
family non-market sites in Quayside Area 4 (Sites 4A1 and 4D2
as identified in the Quayside Neighbourhood Non-Market Housing
Agreement dated November 1, 1993) to be developed for market
housing;
FURTHER THAT this application be referred to Public Hearing,
together with the recommendation of the Manager of the Housing
Centre to approve, subject to conditions contained in Appendix
B of the Policy Report dated May 6, 1997;
AND FURTHER THAT the Director of Legal Services prepare the
necessary by-law for consideration at Public Hearing.
B. THAT the Director of Land Use & Development be instructed to
process Development Applications as a priority for the non-
family non-market sites 4A1 and 4D2 in the Quayside
Neighbourhood for market development in advance of a public
hearing for the zoning amendments, with issuance of the
Development Permits subject to enactment following approval of
the rezoning at Public Hearing, and on condition that Concord
Pacific accept all risks and associated costs that the
rezoning may not be approved.
- CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
MOVED by Cllr. Chiavario,
THAT, should Council approve the rezoning application at Public
Hearing, staff ensure that appropriate time lines are met in terms of
enactment, e.g. issuance of development and building permits in order to
meet the developer s construction deadline.
- LOST (tie vote)

Council recessed at 4:15 p.m. and following an In Camera
