Re: Zoning By-law — Flood Plain Regulations

You will recall that earlier this year the City's
proposed new Zoning By~law was withdrawn because of the
Department of Municipal Affairs insistence on the inclusion
of Flood Plain Regulations and because the Council was unable
to agree on this inclusion with a sufficient majority. Since
that time as you are aware, some difficulties have been en~-
countered with applications for building permits in the flood
plain area of the City. I believe that the Council has now
indicated that they would be prepared to consider placing the
Flood Plain Regulations in the zoning By-law by means of a
Zoning By-law Amendment. I am attaching a copy of the Department
of Municipai Affairs correspondence relating to that matter. I
believe it was indicated that where the Water Resoures Regulations
state that "these requirements be applied to those areas of the
City zoned agricultural bordering on the Pitt, Fraser and
Coquitlam Rivers" we had pointed out that specifically the
requicements should apply to the areas designated Agricultural

Land Reserve.
