City of Coquitlam Parkland Management Framework

Transcription

1 City of Coquitlam land Management Framework Coquitlam s land Management Framework The City of Coquitlam currently manages approximately 955 hectares (2,359 acres) of parkland that s about double the size of Stanley. Sustainable management of City parkland is an important role of municpal government because these lands help to enhance quality of life. The City regularly reviews the demand for parkland and park services within the municipality. With population growth, where appropriate, the City may look at acquiring new parkland or making service improvements to existing parkland such as developing playgrounds, trails, picnic shelters, sports courts, fiels and many more amenities. The City s parkland management framework assists in protecting the park and recreational lands for future use in this capacity. Once a property comes under the City s stewardship as a park, there are various methods and regulatory tools available to Council to protect these public lands and to limit their use to park and recreational purposes. To keep the parkland management framework up-to-date, regular reviews of parkland inventory will be conducted, which may result in some regulatory changes such as ensuring appropriate rezoning, or changes to the Official Community Plan (OCP) designation of certain parks. Rest assured that these changes are to protect and preserve these assets. The goal of the parkland management framework is to provide a consistent methodology to the management and conservation of our parks in order to protect them now and for generations to come.

2 Management Framework All land used or managed as a park is required to be zoned and designated for parkland in the Official Community Plan. OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN (OCP) Coquitlam s Citywide OCP contains policies that set a vision, and priorities to address issues that affect the entire City. The OCP provides Land Use Designations that describe the future use of all land in the City and has a general statement about the form and character for future development. An application to amend the OCP is decided upon by City Council. LAND USE DESIGNATIONS are a classification that determines the type of future use a property can have (i.e. parkland recreational, commercial, single-family housing, etc.). Each OCP Land Use Designation has a number of associated zones that can be applied through rezoning. There are currently 53 designations set out in the OCP. All parkland should be designated appropriately within the OCP to protect the lands. REZONING The process of changing the existing zone on a property to another zone. This is a regular part of the development process that occurs when an applicant applies to change the zone of a property. The zones that the applicant can choose to rezone to are determined by the land use designation (set out in the OCP). The rezoning process amends the City s Zoning Bylaw and requires public notification to nearby property owners, a Public Hearing and approval by City Council. specific zoning provides the parklands with another level of additional protection for the community. ZONE The zone on a property specifies permitted uses, the dimensional requirements for lots, the height of buildings and how far they can be setback from a property boundary. The zone also determines the maximum density of buildings on a property and is typically measured in the City s zones as a Floor Area Ratio (FAR). All land in the City is assigned a zone under the City s Zoning Bylaw. The type of zone that can be applied to a property is set by the land use designation in the City s OCP. ZONING BYLAW This bylaw regulates the present use of land. Zoning is a tool to implement the City s policies and land use designations as set out in the OCP. Dedication Bylaw A bylaw to dedicate the land for park use only is the main regulatory option available to the City to protect park assets in the long-term. A Dedication Bylaw can only be removed through another bylaw, and with the approval of voters through a referendum or alternative process. This provides a strong level of protection for the park by restricting the use of the lands in question. Additional Considerations and Limitations There are several parks owned by the City that do not require a Dedication Bylaw due to inherent protection offered by their status or legal restrictions. For example:»» City owned properties legally identified in a subdivision plan as park and obtained by the City as part of a subdivision requirement in the Local Government Act. Because of their protection under the Act, they do not need further dedication. Examples of these are neighbourhood parks such as Aloutte, Dawes Hill, Guilby, Ranch, and Selkirk.»» Stream Protection and Enhancement Area lands are typically riparian corridors and have mandated protection, environmental and geotechnical restrictions by Provincial or Federal legislation. Examples of these parks are Ridge, Noons Creek Ravine, North Hoy Creek, and Pacific Reach Linear.»» s that are obtained by the City through a Provincial Crown Grant carry heavy restrictions that the land must be used for recreational and park purposes. Examples of these parks are Town Centre, Riverview Forest and Harper. You can find more information online at coquitlam.ca/parksplanning Contact: parksandconsultation@coquitlam.ca CityofCoquitlam
