NOW TWO PER CENT
City drops
growth rate

NORTH VANCOUVER City

Council has decided to drop

the maximum growth rate outlined in the city’s Official
Community Plan from three per cent to two per cent in an
effort to establish more control over the city’s growth.

While the move cannot stop
population increases through such
factors as immigration, city plan-
ner Richard White said ‘tit can
control the number of dwelling
units added in any one year."’

But it appears unlikely that the
growth rate will ever have to be
enforced.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean pointed out
that the growth rate for the city
had been decreasing in the past 10
years, having peaked at two per
cent in 1980.

“(We have a) phenomenon
where population per household
has been dropping,’’ added Ald.
Frank Morris.

Ald. Bill Bell said there were al-
ready stresses on the community,
including traffic problems and
other difficulties connected with
neighborhood preservation.

He pointed to Surrey as an area

where the municipality had been
forced to make efforts to stall
growth ‘‘because it has come on
tao fast and furious." .

But White said it was very un-
likely that North Vancouver City’s
support services would reach a
point where they could not keep up
with the growth factor.

In a related policy motion coun-
cil agreed to reduce the city’s pro-
posed maximum growth outlined
in the OCP from 50,000 to 45,000.

“The population increase has
been much less than anyone anti-
cipated,’’ said Mayor Jack
Loucks.

“Our projection shows that
43,942 is about all the people we
can get into our municipality with
the current density,”’ said Dean.
