Environmentally Sensitive Area Update Input

Report: Mayor Rob Vagramov and Councillor Steve Milani, dated
February 11, 2021

The following was moved and seconded at the Regular Council meeting of March 9, 2021 and is on the table for consideration:

RC21/127
WHEREAS a significant amount of community concern has arisen from the lack of predictability related to environmental regulations in the draft Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) Update;

AND WHEREAS the lack of a coherent, easy to understand environmental vision is leading to a slew of theories regarding the purpose of the draft ESA update;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT staff be directed to include a high-level vision of any long-range goals that the City might have for future environmental enhancement or habitat restoration goals for the Alderside foreshore, as well as any specific concerns in foreshore conditions (or the assessment zone along the foreshore) that staff might already be monitoring for the purposes of restoration as recommended in the report dated February 11, 2021 from the Offices of
Mayor Rob Vagramov and Councillor Steve Milani regarding Environmentally Sensitive Area Update Input;

AND THAT staff be directed to assist the public in anticipating and understanding whether (and if so, then how) their properties might present possible environmental concerns now or in the future, based on common or already known coastal ecological protection and restoration concerns;

AND THAT staff be directed to report back on options for adjusting the proposed ESA regulations to allow for a static flowchart (printed and digital) to provide homeowners in affected areas easy access to the measures that will be required of them in various redevelopment scenarios to provide a better degree of predictability (e.g. “Property contains map-identified riparian watercourse If YES then…, if NO then…”, or “Foreshore contains marine dock If YES then…,” or “…contains known recurrent nesting by any of the following protected waterfowl If YES then…” etc).
