Note the OCP
maps at arrow |
|
|
|
|
As I noted yesterday – while there were over 30
changes to the OCP map – it was given perfunctory passage with little
discussion |
|
First there were
significant changes made (see my previous)
to non-residential area (Watson
Island etc). I was told the other changes
needed with transition to digital format –plus cleared up errors and
ambiguities (see below) – then I looked closer at the OCP from 2007 – which
by the way has very good map --- perhaps even superior to the present one in
detail (see below) |
Comparisons
|
|
Note what
buildings were rezoned: RCMP, Firehall, Schools, Halls and Churches |
|
For
starters see how the OCP map from 2007 actually has more detail than the 2010
version (25x100 foot lots) When compare the RCMP
building to the library across see that another lot added in 2010---
I suggest all this is in preparation for sales of RCMP building (left
images extracted from 2007 and 2010 maps) Note
the addition of Parks (across McBride from RCMP/ Library) – which not mentioned in paperwork |
|
|
Preparation
for Property Sales?? |
|
Comparing
the 2007 and the 2010 for the SQCRD building on 1st Avenue, we see
what was not changed was the carving shed --- and note the Federal Building
etc remains ‘Green’ which not only signifies ‘open land’ but public lands
like parks etc Note
too the Church on 3rd remains zoned Green (or commercial?) |
|
Hospital changes
presumably reflect property lines – note Roosevelt School already zoned
‘Residential’ in 2007 – but PR Secondary changed 2010 as were most other schools
--- but Civic Center etc remains ‘open space/ park’ (sic) |
Another
example: Open Space as opposed to Public? |
|
Left
is 2007 and below 2010 --- Note Civic Center
|
|
Was Rezoning of
these properties done according to process? Were applications made etc? – Or
was this done previously and only now the map reflects the changes? --- That
is purpose of Open meetings – not doing everything ‘in-camera’ |
Makes you
wonder? |
|
I suspect there should
have been more public discussion (presumably done in-camera) about this
rezoning from Industrial to Commercial – this is where doing back room deals
could enter into ‘routine changes’ |
|
|
2007 |
|
Note
how actually more detail in 2007 mapping
– paperwork says adjusted to ‘fit residential boundary’ |
|
|
2010 |
|
I don’t see any
changes except maybe that A1 (arrow) – as always there should have been an open
discussion of these changes – to prevent perception that deals may have been
made etc |
