Staff Report to Council — Finance

Date: 03/04/2018
Department: Finance
Subject: 2018 - 2022 Five-Year Financial Plan Approval

Background

The Community Charter requires council to adopt a Five-Year Financial Plan (the Plan) each year and, after the adoption of the Plan but before May 15th, to adopt a tax rate bylaw. Each of the bylaws will come forward later in April and then for adoption at the first Council meeting in May.

Commentary

Each departmental budget has been presented at an open meeting of the relevant committee, which fulfills the statutory requirement for a public financial planning process.

As the final BC Assessment information is not available from BC Assessment until early to mid- April, and as per Council direction, the Financial Plan is brought forward for approval, before the Financial Plan bylaw and tax rate bylaw, to facilitate additional time for procuring services. This additional time allows for a longer construction window for many projects and provides additional time for departments to implement work plans for the remainder of the year once the budget is approved.

The 2018 budget provides for the maintenance of all service levels.

The capital budget provides for spending of $37,812,085 in 2018, with over 99% funded from non-tax sources such as contributions, grants and reserves.

Major components of the capital budget include:

• Road network improvements on Millstream Overpass,
• Westhills Stadium Seating Expansion
• Salem Road Sewer Extension
• Completion of Bear Mountain Parkway
• West Shore Parkway, Sewer Extension and Sewer Lift station
• Langford Outdoor experience bike trails

A summary of the Five-Year Financial Plan is attached as Exhibit “A”.

Taxation Implications

The proposed 2018 – 2022 Five Year Financial Plan will result in a tax increase of 2.45% in 2018. Council’s priority of public safety services make up 2% of the tax increase this year, the first of a five-year plan, with 1% to fire and 1% to police for additional resources to meet the requirements of growth within in the City. The additional 0.45% is to cover increased costs of service due to inflation and growth of the City. The total impact on the typical home of the 2.45% increase is $28.

Options

That Council approve the 2018 – 2022 Five Year Financial Plan and direct staff to bring forward the Five Year Financial Plan Bylaw, 2018 and the 2018 Tax Rate Bylaw.

Staff Report to Council — Planning

Date: April 3, 2018
Department: Planning
Application No.: Z17-0050
Subject: Adding Properties to Bylaw No. 1767

Background

On March 19th, 2018 Council gave 1st reading to Bylaw No. 1767, which is for the rezoning of six properties on the north side of Sooke Road across from Happy Valley Road. The public hearing for this bylaw is scheduled for April 16th, 2018.

Commentary

Since the March 19th Council meeting, the applicant for these properties has obtained authorization to include two neighbouring properties in the rezoning application. These properties are 2668 and 2674 Sooke Road, which is where the Glen Lake Inn is located. The applicant has requested that Council include these properties in Bylaw No. 1767. The applicant also requested that a block plan be permitted without triggering frontage improvements. These changes would require Council to rescind 1st reading and amend the bylaw and previous resolution before giving the bylaw 1st reading again.

Staff also request that the one permitted use of ‘apartments which may contain multi-family flex units’ be removed from the proposed zone as the zoning bylaw does not have a definition of multi-family flex units and the ones that have been created in the past were problematic for various reasons.

Additionally, in the original resolution that Council gave 1st reading to on March 19th, there were two items that could be perceived to contradict each other and staff request an amendment be made to provide clarity. In that resolution, item 1 a) stated:

a) That the applicant provides, as a bonus for increased density, the following contributions per residential unit, prior to issuance of a building permit: i. $610 towards the Affordable Housing Fund, and either ii. $2,074 towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund, OR iii. Full road improvements for the realignment of Glen Lake Road

Further in that resolution it required the applicant to complete the recommendations of a Traffic Impact Assessment, without any mention of the General Amenity Fund. Therefore, for clarity purposes, staff request that Council amend item 1 a) to read as follows:

b) That the applicant provides, as a bonus for increased density, the following contributions per residential unit, prior to issuance of a building permit: i. $610 towards the Affordable Housing Fund, and ii. $2,074 towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund, for which Council may use a portion of these contributions towards the construction of the realignment of Glen Lake Road and DCC works on Sooke Road.

Financial Implications

There are no financial implications with the above noted changes.

Legal Implications

By adding two more properties to Bylaw No. 1767, public notification required a larger distribution area. The additional residents within the larger distribution area were included in the public notification that was sent out.

OPTIONS

Option 1

That Council:

1. Rescind 1st reading of Bylaw No. 1767.

2. Give 1st reading to Bylaw No. 1767, which is attached to and forming part of this report.

3. Amend the resolution of the March 19th reading of Bylaw No. 1767 to read as follows:

4. Give 1st reading to the attached Bylaw No. 1767 to amend the zoning designation of the properties located at 2682, 2684, 2686, 2696, 2702, and 2706 Sooke Road from District Commercial (C3) and Service Commercial (CS1) to a new Community Town Centre Pedestrian 9 (C9) zone subject to the following terms and conditions:

a) That the applicant provides, as a bonus for increased density, the following contributions per residential unit, prior to issuance of a building permit: iv. $610 towards the Affordable Housing Fund, and v. $2,074 towards the General Amenity Reserve Fund, for which Council may use a portion of these contributions towards the construction of the realignment of Glen Lake Road and DCC works on Sooke Road.

b) That the applicant provides, prior to public hearing, the following: i. A technical memo from an engineer that verifies storm water can be adequately managed for the proposed developments, to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering.

c) That the applicant provides, prior to Bylaw Adoption, a Section 219 covenant, registered in priority of all other charges on title, that agrees to the following: i. That the owner will not apply for, nor is the City obligated to issue a Development Permit or Building Permit until road dedication is provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and Approving Officer. ii. That at any time after the 5th anniversary date of adoption of the bylaw to rezone the subject lands, the City may request, and the owner shall provide, the area of land necessary for the construction of the road extension from Happy Valley Road to Glen Lake Road as well as Sooke Road for $1.00. iii. That the owner will limit direct vehicular access to Sooke Road, and will not apply for, nor will the City be obligated to grant driveway access on to Sooke Road, except in accordance with a comprehensive plan of development for the properties as a whole. iv. That a Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) be completed to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering for the full build-out of any block that commercial and/or residential uses are proposed, prior to the issuance of building permit, and that the recommendations of the TIA be implemented prior to Occupancy of any buildings; v. That all frontage improvements to Bylaw 1000 standards are provided to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering and Manager of Parks prior to issuance of a building permit; and vi. That a detailed storm water management plan be provided prior to issuance of a building permit and implemented, as per Bylaw 1000, all to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering.

2. Direct the City Planner to permit onsite parking, through the Development Permit for Form and Character, to be at a ratio of 1.0 stall per 1 or 2 bedroom units, with any additional 0.25 for visitor parking.

3. Direct the City Planner to permit onsite parking and loading facilities, through the Development Permit for Form and Character, to be located in the front or side yards for buildings located immediately next to the Galloping Goose.

OR Option 2

4. Take no action at this time with respect to rescinding Bylaw No. 1767 or by removing a permitted use listed in the C9 Zone.

Staff Report to Council — Engineering

Date: April 3, 2018
Department: Engineering
Subject: Bylaw No. 1769, Amendment No. 1 to Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 1700, 2017

Background

In 2017 the City did a thorough review of the Development Cost Charge Bylaw and adopted the current Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 1700. At the present time, the City collects Development Cost Charges for Roads, Park Improvement and Park Acquisition with respect to development in the City Centre and provides a 30% reduction for market/profit rental housing in the City Centre (25% for market/profit rental housing outside the City Centre).

Commentary

At the time that the 2017 DCC bylaw was adopted the City had not seen a large number of rental housing units constructed. However, within the past year alone, several hundred units of for-profit and non-profit housing units have been rezoned in Langford and are either under construction or near to construction. This has resulted in over $1Million in rate reductions to Road DCC charges.

Reductions in the Road DCC program result in less funds being available to construct Road DCC projects, including major collector roads and regionally benefitting infrastructure. Two recent examples of Road DCC projects completed were the 3.5km new West Shore Parkway and the dual left turnlane on the Millstream Overpass.

As the City continues to grow in population it is recognized that regionally benefitting infrastructure such as Parkways are needed to serve the entire community, be they home owners or rental units.

Staff are therefore suggesting that the City rescind the rate reductions in the current DCC bylaw in their entirety.

Financial Implications

Regionally benefitting infrastructure funded through the DCC program bylaw benefits the entire community. Removing the rate reductions in the DCC program will result in an optimization of the benefits to the entire City.

Legal Implications

None noted.

Options

That Council:

1. Give first, second and third reading to Bylaw No. 1769, City of Langford Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 1700, Amendment No. 1, 2018;

2. Do nothing at this time to amend the City of Langford Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 1700, 2017

Staff Report to Council — Finance

Date: 03/04/2018
Department: Finance
Subject: Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw – Bylaw No. 1772

Commentary

Bylaw No. 1772 would give authority to temporarily borrow up to $10 million to cover current expenses until taxes are collected.

The main source of revenue for local government is taxation. Taxes are levied at the beginning of June and are due on the first business day in July. Expenses on the other hand are incurred throughout the year. This means that municipalities are faced with a cash flow shortage in the first six months of the year. This shortage can be at least partially offset by accumulated surplus and reserves.

The Community Charter resolves this issue by giving Council the authority to borrow temporarily and repay any amounts borrowed out of tax collections when they are received.

While the bylaw authorizes up to $10 million in borrowing, only the amount(s) actually required to cover current expenses will be borrowed.

Legal Implications

Revenue anticipation borrowing is authorized by section 177 of the Community Charter

Options

1. That Council give three readings to “Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw No. 1772, 2018”; or
2. That Council not proceed with Bylaw No. 1772
