PRESENTATION

His Worship, Mayor Derek R.
Corrigan delivered the following 2016 Year-End Address:
“On behalf of
Burnaby City Council, it’s my pleasure tonight to deliver our year-end address
to talk a bit about some of 2016’s many successful projects and initiatives in
the City of Burnaby and to look ahead to 2017 and beyond.
The past year
saw significant growth and achievements in Burnaby.
After last
year’s record amount of building in the City, development slowed, but only
slightly - with $679 million in
building permits issued by the end of November, compared to $729 million at
this time last year. We welcome this development because it accommodates
thousands of new residents without using more land, while adding valuable
community amenities, protecting parkland and single-family neighbourhoods,
supporting rapid transit, and creating the sustainable communities we planned
more than 20 years ago.
In everything
we do in the City, we respect our longstanding commitment to sustainability.
We’re guided by our Official Community Plan and our award-winning Economic
Development and Social Sustainability strategies and we’re confident that we’re
moving in a direction that meets the needs and expectations of our citizens,
businesses and non-government organizations because they work with us to create
our plans.
In November, we
adopted our new community-driven Environmental Sustainability Strategy and the
complementary Community Energy and Emissions Plan that looks at specific
opportunities to: improve air quality; make buildings more efficient; shift
toward more sustainable transportation, and look for clean and affordable
sources of energy. Together, I know that these two plans will make Burnaby an
even more livable and resilient city.
One of the
great benefits of our long-range planning is the exceptional recreation
opportunities we are able to provide for Burnaby citizens. In 2016, Burnaby
Mountain Golf Course and Driving Range was presented with the PGA of BC’s “Golf
Facility of the Year Award” for the Lower Mainland region. We’re particularly
proud of this award, as it is the first time a municipal-owned facility has
earned this title.
The year also
saw the replacement of the artificial turf field and the paving of an asphalt
track at the Cariboo Hill School Park, and completion of a new water play area
in Edmonds Park.
Our City’s
focus on community initiatives and benefits is unwavering. Twenty sixteen was
our exceptional library’s 60th anniversary, which gave us a special
opportunity to highlight the invaluable services Burnaby libraries offer to all
citizens, including more than 100 mobile-unit visits to City events - many of which featured our pop-up
library. We are continuously improving our libraries and their services. In
2017, we’ll be renovating and upgrading areas in the Bob Prittie branch.
Work is also
advancing on the Transportation Plan update, which will explore innovative and sustainable
ways to manage the City’s transportation needs.
Upgrades to
optimize existing assets and create new infrastructure continued throughout the
year, including significant improvements to the Riverside Area, where we
focused on better accommodating buses and pedestrians, improving drainage, and
upgrading water mains.
We also
enhanced our technology, to improve access to City services. As part of our
commitment to engagement, transparency and accountability, we launched an Open
Data portal on GIS Day in November. The site allows users to analyze
information, build apps, combine open datasets using maps, develop new web and
mobile applications, and meet their specific data needs.
Also on the
technology front, in early 2017, we plan to release an updated version of
Burnaby Map that will be mobile compatible, allowing users to view geographic
data specific to Burnaby on any device, including desktop computers, phones and
tablets.
In all areas,
we continue to work with residents to ensure that our shared vision for the
future of all of our town centres is realized.
In Brentwood
Town Centre, Phase I of the Gilmore Station Plan will soon advance to the
public hearing stage. This plan will ensure citizens’ expectations are front
and centre as the land surrounding the station is redeveloped to provide an
inviting gateway to Brentwood, with significant open areas among the many new
residential and commercial buildings.
Design and construction
plans are also underway for the Willingdon Linear Park that will link Brentwood
Town Centre to Confederation Park.
The Woodlands
Site Conceptual Master Plan and Design Guidelines in the Brentwood Town Centre
received final adoption in June 2016. The Master Plan includes a new
neighbourhood park, a variety of housing options, new vehicle, cycling and
pedestrian connections, and environmental improvements.
In the Lougheed
Town Centre, the Core Area Conceptual Master Plan was adopted in August and I’m
proud to note that it won the Planning Institute of British Columbia’s Gold
Award for Excellence in Planning Practice. Implementation of the plan is now
under way and Phase I (four towers, a commercial podium, and a pocket park)
advanced to Public Hearing in October.
Development on
Burnaby Mountain continues at a steady pace, with recent completion of the
Centreblock high-rise development. Construction is under way for three
additional multi-family residential developments and a community park
expansion.
The University
Highlands Elementary School has funding for a new two-storey, eight-classroom
expansion, which will create 195 new student spaces. Simon Fraser University
and SFU Community Trust are also advancing a new district energy utility
project that will replace - with green energy from renewable
sources - 85% of the thermal energy
that would otherwise be needed for the SFU Burnaby campus and new UniverCity
developments.
In Edmonds Town
Centre, Phase I of the 48-acre Southgate Neighbourhood is under way and will
see the construction of the Precedence high-rise development, as well as
the Island Neighbourhood that will feature an iconic residential tower,
partially surrounded by water, a naturalized environment, and a mix of low and
mid-rise residential buildings.
The Value
Village redevelopment Kings Crossing has recently broken ground. This
development will include three high-rise apartment towers, a six-storey office
building, and commercial space at street level, complemented by attractive
public spaces.
The 60-acre
Riverbend Business Park Master Plan includes a mix of light and general
industrial uses, along with a public access trail and amenity wharf along the
riverfront. It achieved final adoption in July 2016 and Phases I and II of the
rezoning processes are now well under way.
In Metrotown,
Development Plan Review Phase I consultation was completed in September. It
focused on: accommodating future growth within the town centre and in locations
close to rapid transit; enhancing community benefits; improving access to
services; creating inviting public gathering places; encouraging active forms
of transportation for all ages and abilities; and supporting and reflecting the
City’s sustainability strategies. Public consultation on the draft plan
continues.
While we’ve
welcomed all of this development, we’ve also consistently and aggressively
focused on doing everything we can as a city to ensure that Burnaby citizens
have access to affordable housing, including acquisition of more than $42
million in the City’s Community Benefit Bonus Housing Fund and over $2 million
granted from the Fund to support the development of 276 units of non-profit
housing in the City. Twenty per cent of all contributions made via Burnaby’s
Community Benefit Bonus Policy are deposited in the Housing Fund to support
housing-related projects.
In 2016, the
City of Burnaby significantly increased the number of rental units in the
development approval process across the full range of rental unit types,
including rental units in apartment buildings, strata rentals, secondary suites
rentals, seniors’ housing and other non-market rental housing.
The City has
the third largest inventory of non-market housing in the Region with over 5,900
social, non-profit, special needs, and co-op housing units - and this inventory of non-market and
special needs rental housing is also increasing with:
·
90
replacement and 91 new family and seniors housing units for Cedar Place in the
Edmonds Town Centre;
·
Seniors’
housing under construction at George Derby with 122 non-market units;
·
11
units of non-market accessible rental housing on Hastings Street developed by the
Vancouver Resources Society;
·
145
units of seniors’ rental housing advancing for the Fair Haven site in South
Burnaby;
·
a new
application in Metrotown for a mixed market and non-market project on Beresford
and Sussex with 80 to 120 units;
·
105
units of seniors’ housing at Carleton Gardens on Canada Way;
·
the
recent announcement of proposals to construct 57 units of non-market special
needs and seniors’ housing in two additional projects on Canada Way;
·
a new
non-market seniors’ housing and care facility proposal on Mary Avenue in the
Edmonds Town Centre.
This represents
more than 600 new non-market and special-needs housing units.
In June 2016,
the City issued a request for expressions of interest for the City Lands
Program for non-market housing. The program supports the development of new
non-market housing on two City-owned properties. We’ll move forward with this
process early in 2017.
And secondary
suites continue to provide a valuable rental housing option for Burnaby
residents. In addition to the 400 new suites already constructed in 2014 and
2015, 391 new suites are under construction and 137 more have pending
applications.
2016 also saw
increased interest in the development of purpose-built rental housing, with
1,407 market rental units undergoing rezoning or under construction, including:
·
645
new rental apartment units in Lougheed Town Centre
·
203 new
rental apartment units for Lougheed Mall
·
238 new
rental apartment units in Metrotown Town Centre
·
300 new
rental apartment units at Brentwood Mall; and
·
21 new
rental apartment units in the Hastings Street Urban Village
Between 2011
and 2015, the City also saw completion of 4,942 strata units; and an additional
4,946 strata units have been completed or are under construction in 2016.
It’s estimated that of these 9,888 new strata apartment units, more
than 2,400 units will be rental units.
All of the
recent development in the City is contributing to growing our rental inventory
by more than 5,300 units, adding to the existing 32,000 rental units that
accommodate 36% of Burnaby’s households.
Some of this
new inventory of over 5,300 rental housing units is achieved through
redevelopment of older residential buildings in the City. Between 2011
and 2015, 365 rental units were replaced by new development that’s primarily
located in our Town Centres, adjacent to rapid transit. This new development
is supported by the City’s Official Community Plan and the more detailed community
plans established for the City’s Town Centres and smaller Urban Village areas.
Virtually all
of the actions taken by the City are detailed in our 2016 Housing Profile,
completed in September of this year and available for viewing on our website.
In addition to offering a comprehensive look at the City’s housing initiatives,
it also sets out the challenging context for developing affordable housing in
the Metro Vancouver region, noting the limitations that municipalities have on
their ability to address housing-affordability issues in the absence of
provincial and federal funding and policy support. At every turn, we have
encouraged the Federal and Provincial Governments to work with us to create
housing solutions. Because Council is determined to ensure that the critically
important issue of affordable housing is addressed in a meaningful and
sustainable way, we’ll continue to lobby the Federal and Provincial Governments
both to fulfill their mandates and to follow through on their recent
commitments - to work with us to address
this issue appropriately.
Our ongoing
focus on efficiency, partnerships and innovation continues to ensure that the City’s
fiscal position remains strong. The investment portfolio averaged $930 million
during the year and will provide investment income of more than $43 million to
City revenues, an annualized return of just over 3.6%. For 2017, investment
income is expected to remain stable at approximately $40 million. This income
helps to reduce city taxes and provides funding for the City’s capital
investment in infrastructure replacement.
Our many 2016
achievements are built on our strong history of planning and partnerships.
Because our community is central to all of our planning processes, Burnaby City
Council remains confident that future city initiatives will further enhance
Burnaby’s livability and appeal for citizens and businesses.
Thank you to all of our
citizens, business leaders and non-profit organizations for the exceptional
contributions you make to the development of Burnaby every day. Thank you too
to City staff - including those in our
safety-focused police and fire departments -
for your unfailing commitment to excellence that ensures we continue to meet
our City’s lofty goals. Together with all of you, Burnaby Council looks
forward to realizing our exceptional vision for our City’s future.
