3 RC - On-Table Item 1.1 Art at Council June 12, 2018 In celebration of the thriving artistic culture in Port Moody, the Art Walk is making a comeback! The Shuffle Port Moody Art Walk 2018, is a one-night, self-directed event on Friday, June 22 from 5:30-9pm at 13 locations in Port Moody. The Shuffle is coordinated by galleries and artists within the community who have volunteered their time in an effort to create an arts event like the much-loved Art Walk from years gone by. Tonight we have artwork from 3 of the artists participating in The Shuffle. Let s start with Gillian McMillan s ceramic plate titled Pope s Hat, a new work Gillian produced just for the art walk. Next is Catherine Field s acrylic on canvas titled Nature From Near to Far. Catherine s abstract paintings are inspired by her love of traveling, hiking and nature. Lastly is Gay Mitchell s Shaded Bow, originally a watercolour that she photographed and mounted onto metal. Gay s work captures the essence and mystery of place. Experience the creative process in action at private studios, galleries, and even outside on the lawn beside Kyle Centre. There will be live painting, performances, and refreshments, all within walking distance of Gallery Row. Document:

21 RC - On-Table Item Clarke Street Exemption and Variance Requests Regular Council June 12, 2018 The Subject Lot 1

22 RC - On-Table Item 9.5 Elevations Development Permit Area Requirements Requirement Heritage Alteration Permit DPA 4: Environmentally Sensitive Areas Status The design addresses relevant design guidelines for the Heritage Conservation Area. An environmental report has evaluated the setback to Ottley Creek and outlines the appropriate setback. DPA 5: Hazardous Lands A geotechnical assessment confirmed a flood hazard and provides recommendations for a Flood Exemption. Under current bylaws, permits for DPA 4 and 5 are required for this application. 2

23 RC - On-Table Item 9.5 Development Permit Exemptions Applicant has stated that, based on the size of the basement addition, this application should be exempt from all DPA requirements. Staff have reviewed this rationale and all specific DPA exemption statements, and have concluded that this project does not qualify for an exemption from the DPAs. Development Permits provide the legislated tool used to review these issues and, through registration on title, inform future owners. Official Community Plan, Excerpts DP Exemptions 3

24 RC - On-Table Item 9.5 Subdivision and Development Bylaw Requirements The Works and Services Bylaw No requires that works and services be updated to current standards. The applicant has stated that the requirements are too onerous and unnecessary, and is seeking a full waiver of servicing requirements. While staff have offered a reduction of the requirements, the current bylaw only offers full waivers of servicing requirements for single and two family dwelling and for projects with a construction value below $50,000. Site Servicing Requirements Requirement Applicant s rationale for variance Staff commentary Remove existing driveway along Clarke Street. Replace existing sidewalk. Replace existing sanitary and water connections. Retain existing driveway as accessible ramp. Retain existing sidewalk. Retain existing services. Mid block accessibility ramps are not typically permitted to support individual businesses, particularly where an accessible parking space is not provided or warranted. The existing sidewalk does not meet the current requirements of Bylaw No An assessment would be required to determine whether the existing connections are appropriate for the new commercial designation and to confirm that the existing connections meet the requirements of Bylaw No SRW with Metro Vancouver for Ottley Creek channel. The owners would prefer not to have this required as part of the Building Permit application. If not addressed prior to Building Permit approval, there is no guarantee this outstanding issue will be addressed. Metro Vancouver s systems are integrated with the City s storm water system and require proper access and maintenance and provide drainage services for this property and many other properties and streets in the area 4

25 RC - On-Table Item 9.5 The Building Permit Process A Building Permit for the addition and the change of use is also required. Under current BC Building Code requirements there are additional significant costs to upgrade an existing old single family home to a mixed use commercial building. The City does not have the authority to waive requirements of the Code.
