This course will examine new local government powers to deal with climate change (Bills 10 and 27 of 2008), and equip planning practitioners to put them to use in their communities. The principal focus will be on development permit area designations for water and energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The instructors will cover development permit area designations and justifications, and the preparation and application of development permit guidelines addressing these new planning objectives.
The course will also touch on local building regulations, development cost charges, and off -street parking requirements, all in relation to climate change. Those attending should have some basic familiarity with development permit systems under the British Columbia Local Government Act. Instructors: Bill Buholzer, Lawyer, Young, Anderson; Marta Farevaag, Principal, Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg.
