8 Regional Growth Strategy Goals GOAL 1 Create a Compact Urban Area GOAL 2 GOAL 3 Support a Sustainable Economy Protect the Region s Environment and Respond to Climate Change GOAL 4 Develop Complete Communities GOAL 5 Support Sustainable Transportation Choices

9 Goal 1: Create a Compact Urban Area Establish an Urban Containment Boundary Identify priority areas for growth Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Corridors Identify Rural areas and limit urban development on those lands

10 Contain Urban Growth

11 Newly Developing Areas: Planned Population Capacity Source: GVRD 2006

12 2/3 of new growth to Urban Centres and Frequent Transit Development Areas Create and Connect Vibrant Centres

13

14 Rural Areas

15 Rural Areas in Maple Ridge

16 Goal 2: Support a Sustainable Economy Encourage jobs close to where people live Protect the region s industrial land supply Protect the region s agricultural land and promote agricultural viability

17 Responding to Employment Dispersal Distribution of Office Floorspace Growth in Metro Vancouver ( ) Metro Core 40% (7.4 M sq ft) Out of Centres 49% (9.1 M sq ft) Regional City Centres 11% (2.1 M sq ft)

18 Efficient Transportation - How workers get to work Metro Core Walk Transit Auto Metrotown Metrotown Office Park 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100%

19 Greenhouse Gas emissions from travel to work Metro Core Commuter GHG Emissions from 200 employees Metrotown Metrotown Office Park Tonnes per Year

20 RGS Issue Industrial Lands Most employment dispersal has been the result of industrial lands being developed for non-industrial uses: cheaper land, cheaper development costs (tilt up construction, surface parking) attracts developers higher taxes, off site amenity improvements, more attractive form of development, higher employment attracts municipalities

21 Industrial and Mixed Employment Areas Slide of industrial lands

22 Protect Agricultural Land and Viability

23 Agricultural Areas

24 Goal 3: The Region s Environment Protect the Region s Natural Assets Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

25

26 Conservation and Recreation Areas

27 Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Metro Vancouver GHG Emission Sources Heating Buildings 31% Other Vehicles 10% Misc. 4% Industrial 20% How we got around in 2006 Transit 11% Bicycle 2% Cars & Trucks 35% Walking 11% Motorized Vehicle 76%

28 Goal 4 Complete and Healthy Communities An Aging Population:

29 Average Housing Prices by type $800,000 $700,000 Single Detached Townhouse Condo $600,000 $500,000 $400,000 $300,000 Surrey $16,500 (1966) $200,000 $100,000 $ Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board PoCo, $16,500 (1971) Vancouver, $16,500 (1966) Burnaby, $18,000 (1966)

30 Regional Housing Objectives Ensure a sufficient supply of housing to meet future demand Provide full range of housing choices in all parts of the region Expand affordability for both rental and ownership Build sustainable housing and complete communities Efficient / green building design / technologies / energy use

31 Goal 5 Support Sustainable Transportation Choices Transportation planning to serve demand is TransLink s responsibility; not part of RGS Significant investments to shape future land use and travel patterns are part of the RGS

32 The Strategy - Land Use Designations

33 What is a Regional Context Statement? A required statement in a municipal Official Community Plan demonstrating how the OCP is consistent with the Regional Growth Strategy.
