6 What is the event? The event is designed to build on conversations started in meetings with thought leaders invited by the PM and Minister Duclos, and will be held as part of the City of Vancouver s week-long focus on its Housing Reset. Motivation: While housing has been growing unaffordable in our region and province for years, for too long there were too few concrete policy proposals to address the problem. In the last 18 months, many clever ideas have been put on the table, and individuals/organizations have selected top key messages to emphasize. This was demonstrated in the meetings with the PM and with M. Duclos, which lead to conversations that are relatively chaotic because they are all over the place. text JOIN to

7 Goal? Move from chaos to coherence via an Agenda-Setting Workshop to support GVRD housing goals in the Strategic plan, Metro Vancouver 2040 Goal to Develop Complete Communities, shape provincial election platforms and the National Housing strategy. To do this, we need to bring people back to the big picture. Rather than hold more "discussion forums" or "roundtables", which don't necessarily get us anywhere, we need to invite 40 thought leaders on this issue into the same room, and push to identify common ground, starting at the level of policy principles from which we can work toward a nonpartisan policy agenda. text JOIN to

25 ENCOURAGING AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION THROUGH FARM PROPERTY TAX REFORM IN METRO VANCOUVER Theresa Duynstee, Regional Planner Regional Planning Committee September 9, 2016

26 Agricultural land is increasingly threatened from non-farm land uses 2

27 Non-farm uses of agricultural land Higher costs for agricultural land Conflicts between neighbours Increased demand for municipal services 3

28 Leased agricultural land Enables farms to expand acreage Keeps farmland in production Limited investments on leased land Less economic development 4

29 Identify tax policies to encourage farming or discourage non-farm uses in Metro Vancouver s ALR 5

30 1. School Tax Exemption 2. Classification of Land as Farm 3. The Assessed Value of Agricultural Land 4. Assessment of Buildings 6

31 1. School Tax Exemption Eliminate the 50% School Tax exemption for properties classed as residential (Class 1) in the ALR 7

32 2. Classification of Land as Farm Change the income threshold to a minimum of $3,500 regardless of farm size and develop a two tier system of benefits 8

33 3. The Assessed Value of Agricultural Land Adjust the method for valuing agricultural land not used for farming 9

34 4. Assessment of Farm Buildings Encourage sharing of information to ensure an appropriate tax assessment of buildings. 10

35 Tax reform requires changes in provincial legislation 11

37 Mixed Income Transit-Oriented Rental Housing Study Transit Ridership Effects Ray Kan SENIOR REGIONAL PLANNER Margaret Eberle SENIOR HOUSING PLANNER Regional Planning Committee September 9, 2016

38 Regional Challenges 3,500 new rental housing units per year needed to accommodate households making less than $50,000 per year Mismatch in demand and supply Households end up paying higher rents than what their incomes can sustainably support Transportation costs add to the overall cost burden A well-housed workforce is critical to the regional economy 2

Accommodating renter households, in particular those making less than $50,000 per year, in transit-oriented locations is not only key to developing diverse, vibrant, and complete communities, it is key to maximizing transit ridership and the value for money of transit and housing affordability investments. 7
