Governance & Services Committee Meeting Minutes – January 10,
2008 (Pg. 5 - 6) 5.3 Fringe Area Planning The Administrator outlined the regional district’s policy past practice for fringe area planning and the need for a change in policy due to incorporation of the Westside. A draft report was submitted with options to consider for moving forward. The City of Kelowna has stated they are interested in participating in rural area planning in Joe Rich and Ellison as it will affect their boundaries. Director Hanson has stated that she is not interested in fringe area planning where the City of Kelowna would be in control of decisions for Joe Rich and Ellison. Committee members voiced concern that without participation of the municipalities there would be no feedback for a director and that generally speaking it has been helpful to have more people involved in the discussion. Without any participation from municipalities taxes may be impacted for the electoral area. It was noted that the Westside Council has yet to discuss fringe area planning. Staff confirmed that they would be willing to come and discuss the issue with Council. From Peachland’s perspective, Council is interested in fringe area planning with respect to Crystal Mountain, Brent Road and Trepanier. Staff reviewed the Local Government Act (LGA) relating to ‘fringe area’ planning. The LGA states that a municipality will participate in planning unless they opt out. It also states that the director for the municipality is not entitled to vote on the resolution or bylaw authorizing the regional district to enter into the agreement. As soon as the agreement has been entered into, the director for that municipality is not entitled to vote on any resolution or bylaw authorizing the regional district to enter into any other agreement under that section. It was noted that the City of Kelowna has opted out of the regional planning function but agreed to fringe planning. The District of Peachland opted in to fringe planning as well. It was noted that should the electoral area opt for no fringe area planning the only directors who would vote on their planning issues would be the electoral area directors. The benefit of having input from Kelowna was stated particularly with involvement in the North Westside Advisory Planning Commission. Director Edgson stated his support for fringe area planning. It was stated that staff need to develop a foundation, including past and present decisions, so that all directors understand clearly how regional planning and fringe area planning works within the regional district. As well staff need to review and set revised boundaries for fringe area planning as with the incorporation of the Westside boundaries have changed. CLARK/SHEPHERD THAT further discussion on Fringe Area Planning be postponed until the next Governance & Services Committee meeting in order for municipalities to review their options. CARRIED |

Governance & Services Committee Meeting Minutes – January 10, 2008
(Pg. 4) 5.2 Advisory Planning Commissions With the change in governance of the Westside a physical change of the electoral area boundary has occurred such that there is no longer Westside North and Westside South Electoral Areas which each had an APC in those areas. The area director believes, as in the past, quality volunteers will be interested in representing the area on the APC. All meetings occur at the regional district offices and in the past have proved to be very effective. EDGSON/RULE THAT Planning staff of Development Services be directed to initiate a bylaw amendment to Bylaw No. 943 A Bylaw to Establish Advisory Planning Commissions to establish a new Central Okanagan West Advisory Planning Commission reflecting the new Electoral Area boundary; AND FURTHER THAT consideration be given to canvass new members for appointment to the Central Okanagan West Advisory Planning Commission representing interests from the Trepanier, Brent Road and Crystal Mountain areas. CARRIED It was noted that a bylaw amendment and at a suitable time, commission appointments will be brought forward to the Regional Board for approval. |
