THAT the Fraser Valley Regional District Board direct staff to provide information and assistance to the BC Stone, Sand & Gravel Association and individual gravel operators so that they can apply for zoning amendments or temporary use permits to allow gravel processing at mine sites;
AND THAT the Fraser Valley Regional District Board express its preference to consider zoning amendment applications to allow gravel processing after the results of independent monitoring of noise and dust emissions associated with gravel operations in priority areas is available so that baseline data about community impacts may be considered in conjunction with any applications submitted;
AND FURTHER THAT staff be directed to prepare, for consideration by the FVRD Board, a policy to: 1) focus Soil Removal service resources on implementation of FVRD Commercial Gravel Operations Bylaw No. 1181; and, 2) not enforce zoning provisions related to processing at existing mines if the mine is in compliance with Bylaw No. 1181.
