Release of Items from Closed Council

At the Closed Council meeting held on July 18, 2023, Council authorized the following releases:

Resolution and attached report released from the May 23, 2023, Closed Council meeting:

CC23/090
THAT a maximum of $1,178,000 from the TransLink grants originally being returned to the Density Bonus Reserve be allocated to complete additional required work on the Shoreline Trail Phase 2 – Trails Works project as recommended in the report dated May 23, 2023, from the Engineering and Operations Department – Project Delivery Services regarding Shoreline Trail Upgrades Project – Request for Allocation of TransLink Grants as Additional Funding;

AND THAT the remaining $85,000 from the TransLink grants be allocated to the Density Bonus Reserve upon completion of the Shoreline Trail Phase 2 – Trails Works project.

Statement released from the July 18, 2023, Closed Council meeting:

The Moody Centre Transit Oriented Development (TOD) area is a central redevelopment area for the City of Port Moody. Located adjacent to the Moody Centre Skytrain/Westcoast Express/bus transit hub, the Moody Centre TOD area provides a unique and critical opportunity for the City to deliver diverse housing options, business and employment opportunities, multi-modal corridors, restoration of historical waterways, and maintain the parks and greenspace experience characteristic to Port Moody.

Updated Official Community Plan (OCP) policies for the Moody Centre TOD area were approved by Council in November 2017. Based on this OCP update, in 2018 Council approved a scope of work, for property owners in the Moody TOD area to collectively prepare to guide redevelopment. Following, several of the major property owners in this area established a consortium and initiated an OCP amendment Master Plan process. This process was paused in 2022. The consortium of property owners made substantial progress in planning for the area. Due to various circumstances, these property owners are now preparing separate, OCP amendment and rezoning applications. To achieve the intent of the 2018 Council Master Plan direction, overarching City planning guidance is necessary to ensure the diverse goals for this area are met by the individual applications.

To provide coordinated direction for the anticipated applications, drawing on established OCP policies, and the prior Master Plan work prepared by the property owners consortium, the City is preparing a Guidance Framework for the planning and development of the Moody Centre TOD area. The framework will be brought to Council for consideration later in 2023. The Framework will allow applications submitted to the City to be reviewed both individually, and as an integral component delivering on the vision for this neighbourhood. The City is undertaking this work, so the Framework can be prepared expeditiously to enable a succinct review of applications received in this neighbourhood, and to review the mix of uses and amenities proposed within each application to a broader vision. Significant development applications are posted to Engage Port Moody (engage.portmoody.ca), where the public can learn more and share their input online.
