Mr. Michael Rosen stated that the corporation was interested in developing the property known as the Makin lands at Britannia Beach. He explained that the Board had previously denied a rezoning application until after completion of a Regional Growth Strategy. As the Regional Growth Strategy has been temporarily deferred, the developers felt their rezoning application should be reconsidered. The developers were willing to pay a consultant to process the application, and to pay for, and accept the results of, a governance study for the area. They hoped to have the new zoning in place by December

3 This is Page 3 of the Minutes of a Regular Meeting of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Board, Staff suggested referring the proposal to the Southern Planning Committee. The Administrator stated that the proposed development would be very complex, even more so than Furry Creek, and would require an enormous amount of staff time to process. Directors who spoke against the rezoning noted the following comments: The current infrastructure cannot handle a development of this size. The current work plan does not allow for the substantial amount of staff time this project will require. There are too many issues unresolved in the area, including governance. Other members of the Board spoke in favour of the development, stating: Staff will have time to process this application as the Regional Growth Strategy project has been temporarily taken off the priority list, and a consultant will assist; Governance will be addressed through a study to be funded by the developers; Concerning infrastructure, properties in the area could be added to the existing local service areas; The proposed area is already designated as a development area in the Whistler South Official Community Plan and draft Howe Sound East Master Plan. It was also noted that the developer s time line of December 31 was overly optimistic. It was moved by Director Oakley and seconded by Director McLean: THAT the Regional Board direct staff to accept and process a rezoning application for the Makin property, subject to agreement on the costs for planning consultant to be negotiated, and completion of a governance study for the area prior to the adoption of the rezoning by-law; AND THAT staff meet with the applicant within the next ten days to work out the details.
