4 City of Kamloops KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy

5 KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy City of Kamloops Overview On April 17, 2018, Kamloops City Council adopted an update to KAMPLAN, the City s Official Community (OCP). The OCP provides direction to guide decisions on planning and land use management within the jurisdiction of the city. As a long-term strategic planning document, the OCP establishes a growth plan to 2039, which is when the population of Kamloops is projected to reach 120,000. Implementing the goals and policies in the OCP will help achieve a vision of Kamloops as a more sustainable, healthy, resilient, inclusive, and vibrant community. The OCP will be implemented in coordination with all City departments and will require a combined corporate, community, and private sector effort to achieve the OCP s goals. In accordance with the Local Government Act, Council will not adopt bylaws or authorize works to be undertaken unless those bylaws and works are consistent with the OCP. Council will be guided by the OCP in its decisions, and City staff are directed to consider the OCP in their work. 1

6 City of Kamloops KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy Effective implementation is key to transforming the goals and policies of the OCP into reality and keeping the plan s vision alive and relevant. Achieving the OCP s goals will require a broad range of short-, medium-, and long-term actions over the next 20 years. The KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy identifies actions that coordinate with and are complementary to priorities established in the Council, the Corporate, and other municipal plans and strategies. As such, the framework for the KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy involves coordination and integration with City administration, Council, and staff. Annually, City staff will prepare a report summarizing the past year s achievements and progress towards realizing the OCP s goals. During this process, actions may be added to address new and emerging issues. While the City is primarily responsible for implementing the OCP, successful implementation will require partnerships and collaboration with government agencies, business improvement associations, local businesses, neighbourhood associations, developers, First Nations, and key stakeholders. The nature of these relationships will depend on the scope and magnitude of each action/initiative being addressed. OCP IMPLEMENTATION The Zoning Bylaw is one of the primary tools used to implement the OCP. Some amendments to the Zoning Bylaw will be necessary to bring it into conformity with OCP policies regarding land use, density, building height, and form and character. There are also opportunities to Successful implementation will require a combined corporate, community, and private sector effort to achieve the OCP s goals. explore greater flexibility in zoning in order to accomplish some of the OCP s goals. Recommended actions related to the Zoning Bylaw review and update process are included within this strategy. Community and stakeholder involvement in neighbourhood planning exercises will be encouraged as the OCP is implemented. This involvement will be supported by the City s public engagement process in accordance with the guiding principles in the City s Public Engagement Handbook. As shown in the tables below, the KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy identifies: OCP policies relevant to each action item Short-, medium-, and long-term actions required to implement the OCP Funding type City departmental and external agency responsibility regarding lead and supporting roles for each action item Priorities complementary to the Council, the Corporate, and other municipal plans and strategies Estimated start date for each action item Some actions have been identified over the short term ( ), while others are medium ( ) and long term ( ). These timelines are based on Council priorities, department work programs, and budgeting. The actions will be reviewed annually as part of the OCP reporting cycle to reflect changes to funding, staffing levels, or emerging community issues that may have impacts on the timing of each action. 2

13 KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy City of Kamloops ANNUAL MONITORING AND REPORTING Monitoring and evaluation by staff will occur annually to assess how well the City is doing in achieving the OCP s goals. Monitoring can show which areas of the OCP are being addressed and performing well and which areas require further attention. Evaluation will consist of reviewing whether current goals and policies remain valid in light of ongoing learning and unanticipated changes in the community. The City will adopt an adaptive management framework for this process, as shown in Figure 1, which will consist of: Implementing the action items identified in the KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy Monitoring and evaluating the OCP s progress using measurable indicators to determine if the City is achieving the desired targets Reporting on indicators and progress towards targets and trends annually Adjusting and amending City plans, policies, and operations where necessary to achieve success Figure 1: Adaptive Management Framework 1. trends will be identified and the results of the OCP annual review will be summarized in a report and made available on the City s website. The first OCP annual review will occur in the fall of OCP INDICATORS The OCP monitoring program collects data for 23 indicators. The majority of these indicators are measured on an annual basis, while a few are measured at two-, three-, or, in the case of Census data, five year intervals. Indicators were selected based on their relevancy to OCP goals and policies; availability of data; accuracy and reliability for consistent measurement over time; and relatability or ability to resonate and be understood by staff, Council, stakeholders, and the general public. Where appropriate the monitoring program will adopt the same indicators being used by other departments to ensure consistency. The list of indicators will be reviewed regularly and new ones may be added and others amended or removed based on changing conditions. Table 2 presents the OCP indicators, rationale for their inclusion, baseline values, desired targets, and data sources used to measure each indicator. The targets were prepared in consideration of historical trends, economic conditions, best practices, and industry standards. In some cases, establishing a specific target is not feasible, so a desired trend is identified instead. Indicators and targets were selected using the criteria above and in consultation with staff from various departments to ensure they are meaningful, outcome-oriented, and measureable. 5. Adjust 2. Implement The KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy provides a process by which the City can track progress towards achieving the OCP s goals and respond to emerging trends, issues, and opportunities. 4. Evaluate 3. Monitor While performance in any given year may be positive or negative, a clear trend may take years of data to identify reliably. Where possible, Annual monitoring will show which areas of the OCP are being addressed and performing well and which areas require further attention. 9

14 City of Kamloops KAMPLAN Implementation Strategy LIST OF INDICATORS Table 2: List of Indicators # Indicator Description Target / Desired Trend Baseline Rationale Data Source Land Management and Development 1 Residential growth Measures the percent share of new housing units in each sector of the city. Core - 20% NE - 0% NW - 18% SE - 19% SW - 43% Core - 22% NE - 0% NW - 19% SE - 19% SW - 39% By encouraging growth within existing urban areas with access to amenities such as transit, shopping, work, schools, parks, and civic facilities, the City can reduce urban sprawl, GHG emissions, and infrastructure costs, while creating vibrant, walkable neighbourhoods. Building permits 2 Urban footprint Compares the percent share of residential infill development to residential development in greenfield or peripheral areas where extension of services and infrastructure would be required, by new housing units. Increase (towards infill) Inside the urban footprint: 61% of units Outside the urban footprint: 39% of units In order to reduce urban sprawl and make more efficient use of municipal infrastructure, the City will encourage infill or redevelopment in the Core and existing urban areas rather than greenfield development along the periphery of the city. This will help conserve land for future growth beyond the term of this OCP. Building permits GIS 3 Housing diversity Calculates the mix of new housing types under three categories: singlefamily (SF); low-density multi-family (LD MF), such as duplexes, townhouses, row houses, and manufactured homes; and medium- to high-density multi-family (MHD MF), such as apartments, tall buildings, and suites. SF - 30% LD MF - 24% MHD MF - 46% SF - 33% LD MF - 10% MHD MF - 57% To create vibrant and inclusive neighbourhoods, the City encourages a diversity of housing types to meet the needs of residents of all ages, abilities, lifestyles, and incomes. Building permits 4 Revitalization Measures the percent share of total city-wide assessed value of residential, commercial, and recreational land and improvements within the Downtown and North Kamloops. Increase April 2018 Downtown and North Kamloops: 17% ($2.9B) Increasing land and building values in the Downtown and North Kamloops neighbourhoods in comparison to city-wide growth and development will help inform the City on the success of revitalization efforts in the Core. Property assessments GIS 5 Proximity to key amenities Monitors the percent share of residents living within a convenient walking distance (400 m, or a 5- to 10-minute walk) of mixed-use and neighbourhood centres. 1 Increase to 30% by % of residents To improve walkability, the City encourages the development of compact and complete neighbourhoods, with key amenities located in mixed-use and neighbourhood centres within walking distance of residents. Census Building permits GIS 1 Mixed-use centres: Areas within the city that are well serviced by municipal infrastructure and feature multi family and mixed use (commercial and residential) development; transit corridors and exchanges integrated with active transportation networks; community amenities such as shopping, cultural and/or recreational facilities, and health services; and community gathering places, that meet the needs of surrounding neighbourhoods and the broader community. For the purposes of the OCP, mixed use centres include the City Centre, North Shore Town Centre, Tranquille Market Corridor, Sahali Town Centre, and McGill Corridor. Neighbourhood centres: Urban areas within the city, secondary to Town Centres, that support the needs of the surrounding neighbourhood by providing a range of commercial and community amenities. They serve as social and economic focal points for residents and provide opportunities to live, work, and play within the neighbourhood they serve. 10

Monitors the tree canopy inventory in developed areas of the city. A sub-indicator monitors the total number of trees planted by the City on public property since release of the Urban Forest Management Strategy in Measures annual municipal corporate GHG emissions in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tco 2 e), including contracted emissions. Measures average household electricity (in kilowatt hours) and natural gas (in gigajoules) consumption, using data from BC Hydro and Fortis BC. Highlights the percent share of the employed labour force whose main mode of commuting to work is by walking, cycling, public transit, carpooling, or other forms of sustainable transportation. Maintain Main indicator target: Increase to 20% by 2037 Sub-indicator target: 4,000 trees planted on public property by 2037, or approximately 200 trees/year. Reduce to 4,600 tco 2 e/ year by 2020 Decrease Increase to 30% by total hectares of industrial-zoned land in the city Main indicator: % Sub-indicator: 170 trees Excluding contracted emissions: 8,175 tco 2 e/year Including contracted emissions: 8,403 tco 2 e/year ,994 kwh/household of electricity per year 65.7 GJ/household of natural gas per year % of the employed labour force By maintaining a supply of industrial land to meet anticipated future needs, the City continues to support a range of economic development opportunities. Expanding the city s tree canopy will improve air quality, capture carbon dioxide, reduce heat island effects, provide shade, support public health, and beautify the community. The City is a signatory to the BC Climate Action Charter and will continue to develop strategies to reduce municipal GHG emissions, improve energy efficiency in civic buildings and facilities, and invest in local climate action projects. To reduce community GHG emissions, a reduction in household energy consumption is required. Annual monitoring of household energy use will determine whether we are meeting our goal to reduce energy consumption and become increasingly energyefficient as a community. Our ability to move efficiently, safely, affordably, and comfortably affects every aspect of our lives. The City prioritizes sustainable modes of transportation including walking, cycling, and public transit over single-occupancy vehicle trips in order to reduce GHG emissions and improve air quality, promote healthy and active living, and use existing infrastructure more efficiently.

A sub-indicator provides the total length of active transportation infrastructure as a percent share of the City s overall transportation network. Measures the percent share of residential properties that are connected by active transportation infrastructure to a public transit stop within a convenient walking distance (400 m or a 5- to 10-minute walk). Monitors total annual transit trips taken in the city. Identifies the number of collisions resulting in fatalities, injuries, or property damage per 1,000 people, within municipal boundaries on an annual basis. A sub-indicator identifies the number of traffic collisions causing fatalities on an annual basis. Main indicator: 4 to 1 ratio = 4 km added for pedestrians and cyclists for every 1 lane km added for vehicles on an annual basis (80% of transportation network length added annually is active transportation infrastructure) Sub-indicator: 33% of total transportation network length is active transportation infrastructure by 2039 Increase to 100% by 2039 Increase to 8 million riders annually by 2039 Main indicator: reduce the number of collisions per 1,000 people Sub-indicator: zero collisions causing fatalities by 2039 Main indicator: 1.2 to 1 ratio = 3.5 km added for pedestrians and cyclists vs 2.9 lane km added for vehicles Sub-indicator: April % of total transportation network length is active transportation infrastructure at present 87% of residential properties 2016/ million Main indicator: collisions per 1,000 people Sub-indicator: collisions causing fatalities Access to a well-planned walking and cycling network increases connectivity within neighbourhoods, expands transportation choices, and promotes healthy and active modes of transportation. To reduce reliance on the automobile, single occupancy vehicle trips, and GHG emissions, transit stops should be accessible and within a convenient walking distance for a majority of residents. The City and BC Transit strive to increase transit ridership by offering an efficient, affordable, safe, and accessible transit system to residents that provides a viable alternative to the private vehicle. To ensure the health and safety of residents, the City has a goal to reduce the number of collisions causing fatalities and serious injuries to zero through initiatives to increase road safety and improve driver awareness.

Census Building permits GIS 16 Household water usage Monitors average single-family residential household water consumption (in cubic metres) in the city. Decrease 403 m 3 Part of the OCP s goal for the City s water network is to encourage water conservation. This indicator will allow the City to monitor the effectiveness of policies and strategies to encourage lower water usage per capita. Water meters 17 Solid waste Measures the amount of per capita solid waste buried in City landfills (Mission Flats, KRRC, and Barnhartvale) each year. Decrease to 560 kg/person by 2023 and 500 kg/person by kg per person Reducing, reusing, recycling, recovering, and implementing diversion programs to manage solid waste will help minimize environmental impacts, reduce GHG emissions, and support sustainable land use. Landfill scale data Census Building permits Housing 18 Housing affordability Measures the respective percent shares of owner and renter households spending 30% or more of pre tax/gross monthly household income on shelter costs and all associated housing expenses. Decrease 2016 All households - 23% Owner households - 14% Renter households - 47% Households that spend 30% or more of their gross monthly income on shelter costs are deemed to be in core housing need, and to have an affordability problem. The City is actively involved in joint efforts with senior levels of government, the non-profit sector, and the business community to improve housing affordability for Kamloops residents. Census 19 Rental vacancy rate Monitors the combined townhouse and apartment rental vacancy rate for the Kamloops area. 3-5% October 1.1% High demand for rental housing is reflected in low residential rental vacancy rates. By monitoring rental vacancy rates, the City can take targeted action where needed when the available stock of rental housing drops below a healthy threshold (i.e. 3%).
