1.1 Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment to Light Industrial Zone (M1) – Commercial Athletic and Recreation Use and Animal Day Care Use

“City of Port Moody Zoning Bylaw 1988, No. 1890, Amendment Bylaw No. 215, 2012, No. 2946” a text amendment bylaw to the Light Industrial Zone (M1) to expand the range of permitted uses to include commercial athletic and recreation uses and animal day care uses.

The City Clerk advised that all statutory requirements have been met and the Director of Development Services provided an overview and intent of the application.

Public Representations:
Barry Sharbo, 3011 Murray Street, Port Moody, spoke in favour of the zoning amendment. He noted the need to promote small business in Port Moody and hoped that this amendment will help the City move forward with the visioning process.

Richard Balfour, 2638 W.14th Avenue, Vancouver, spoke in support of bylaw amendment and encouraged a full review of the current zoning bylaw.

Shannon Day, Whisper Avenue, Coquitlam, a small business owner in Port Moody, spoke in support of the bylaw amendment noting that Murray Street has suffered in the past and that the amendment will help improve the aesthetic look of Murray Street and provide a platform for local businesses to build and grow. She spoke to the impact that Evergreen Line expropriation has had in Port Moody and the high lease rates along St. Johns Street.

Aaron Chew, 512-121 Brew Street, Port Moody, representing Engineered Bodies Strength and Conditioning, advised that current zoning restrictions make him feel unwelcome as a small business owner as he is unable to work as an outside trainer at the Port Moody Recreation Complex. He noted several policies within the current OCP that his company is consistent with and advised that if the zoning amendment is passed, that his company could be up and running in Port Moody by the end of the year. He supplied letters of support from Port Moody clients.

Kathleen Thompson, 102 Fraser Street, Port Moody, spoke in support of the amendment noting that most of the current businesses along Murray Street do not fit into the current M1 Zone use. She expressed concern with taxation loss from the Evergreen Line expropriation and the loss of the City’s industrial base. She noted that the City of Port Moody is a unique and beautiful City, where residents can work, live and play, and that the proposed amendment will attract much needed services in the area.

Councillor Elliott left the meeting at 7:49pm.

Marilyn Randy, Coquitlam, spoke in support of the bylaw amendment, noting that the amendment is consistent with the OCP and long term plan for the area. She noted the number of empty buildings and for lease signs along Murray Street and expressed concern that not approving this amendment will result in more vacant and rundown businesses in the area. She encouraged Council to approve the bylaw amendment.

Councillor Elliott returned to the meeting at 7:52pm

Chris Bacon, 500 Klahanie, Port Moody, spoke in favor of the amendment as a client of Engineered Bodies.

1.2 Historical Highlight - Centennial 2013
Verbal Report: Mayor Clay / File: 1485-015

October, 2012, will mark the 11th anniversary of Ioco Ghost Town Days. The event was begun in celebration of the establishment of the former Ioco town site as a designated heritage area. Local citizens would not stand idly by as the town’s buildings were in danger of being demolished. A group of locals worked tirelessly to get the City of Port Moody to designate the area a heritage site. Despite being considered impossible by most, in 2002 the City passed a bylaw protecting the site. In celebration of this event, Ioco Ghost Town Days was born.
Ioco Ghost Town Days is a free family event where locals can come together for some old fashioned fun while learning about the heritage of the former Ioco town. Over the years, Ioco Ghost Town Days has had numerous performers and various activities. According to many people, “My favorite activity was always the skit. Locals would get together and play characters from Ioco’s past. This was how we told the importance of Ioco’s history to the people who came.” Ioco Ghost Town Days is organized by the Port Moody Heritage Society who owns and operates the Port Moody Station Museum. Ioco Days is supported by Heritage Canada, the Port Moody Heritage ommission, Impact Canopies, Freybe, Pacific Coast Terminals and Thrifty Foods - Suter Brook.
Mark your calendars for Ioco Ghost Town Day, October 14th from noon to 4 pm – at the Ioco Townsite – at the far western end of Ioco Road. (parking is limited – walk, bike or enjoy a bus ride)
