1. Southeast False Creek Policy Statement: Towards a Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood and Major Park

June 29, 1999 RTS: 789/File: 8206

On July 21, September 15, and October 5, 1999, Vancouver City Council heard from 45 speakers at a Special Council Meeting to consider the Southeast False Creek Policy Statement: Towards a Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood and Major Park.

The Special Council Meeting concluded on October 5 and Council agreed to defer its decision on the Policy Statement to the Regular Council meeting on October 19, 1999. Accordingly, the Policy Report, dated June 29, 1999, was before Council for its consideration.

Ian Smith, Senior Planner, reviewed the components of the Policy Statement, explaining that over the past two years, extensive public consultation has taken place with a very high percentage of people voicing their support for the proposal. If adopted, the Statement will guide the Official Development Plan, aiming for a diversity of housing that will be accessible, an increase in the bio-diversity of the parks, a reduction in the impact of the car, an accent on non power boats in southeast False Creek, and creating live/work opportunities. Major concerns heard at the Special Council meetings will be addressed, including careful stewardship of the process. Mr. Smith also referred to a communication from the Vancouver Heritage Commission, and stated that existing buildings will be incorporated and acknowledged as much as possible.

MOVED by Cllr. Chiavario,

THAT Council, recognizing that Southeast False Creek will not have any active development for at least two to three years, refer the decision on the "Southeast False Creek Policy Statement: Towards a Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood and Major Park" to the Council of 1999-2000 in order to allow for a comprehensive public review process which includes the Park Board request for a Sustainable Urban Park for the entire site.

AND FURTHER THAT Council recommend to the Council of 1999-2000 that such a comprehensive public review process should include:

- information on the Park Board concept for Southeast False Creek as a City-wide, destination park;
- consideration of other park design concepts which include incorporation of sustainability opportunities outlined in the draft "Southeast False Creek Policy Statement";
- information on how sustainability pilot projects identified for urban neighbourhoods could be implemented as pilot projects within existing and proposed urban neighbourhood developments, as well as for other existing or proposed major parks such as Hastings Park, Everett Crowley Park, Stanley Park, Queen Elizabeth Park or Pacific Spirit Regional Park.

- LOST

MOVED by Cllr. Price,

A. THAT the document entitled "Southeast False Creek Policy Statement -Towards a Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood and Major Park in Southeast False Creek", dated June 1999, (referred to in the Policy Report dated June 29,1999) be adopted as the guiding policy for both the Official Development Plan and, ultimately, the rezoning of Southeast False Creek.

B. THAT the goal of locating a major park in Southeast False Creek, with an Official Development Plan design target in the order of 12 hectares (26.4 acres) including the waterfront walkway/bikeway, be endorsed.

C. THAT the goal of creating a sustainable urban neighbourhood, with an Official Development Plan density target in the order of 2.2 million square feet of residential and mixed use for the City-owned lands in Southeast False Creek, be endorsed.
