Draft - Official Community Plan - Surrey 2050

Appendix 3 – Surrey 2050

D6.2.9 Encourage transportation practices, policies and standards that prioritize walking, cycling and transit, and incorporate nature-based infrastructure, such as street trees. D6.2.10 Support the transition to zero- and low-emission vehicles by: a. Exploring increasing access to electric vehicle charging in new developments; and b. Encouraging private industry and public sector organizations to develop or expand their electric vehicle charging infrastructure. D6.2.3 Support the advancement to zero-carbon energy in all buildings by: a. Advocating to third-party utilities and the province for affordable zero-carbon energy ; b. Collaborating with BC Hydro to enable provision of sufficient electrical supply; and c. Developing a decarbonization plan for the District Energy System. (See also Utilities ) D6.2.4 Support the phase-out of operational greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency for all new buildings through Energy Step Code and Zero Carbon Step Code requirements. D6.2.5 Encourage building and landscape design features that conserve energy and water, reduce GHG emissions , and mitigate extreme heat in urban areas through the DP1 Form and Character Guidelines (see Appendix 2) and other design measures. D6.2.6 Explore opportunities to incentivize developments that exceed minimum regulatory requirements for energy ef fi ciency and zero-carbon performance. D6.2.7 Encourage construction practices and technologies that reduce embodied carbon and improve the climate resilience of new buildings. D6.2.9 Encourage transportation practices, policies, and standards that prioritize walking, cycling and transit, and incorporate nature-based infrastructure, such as street trees. D6.2.13 Work toward zero-waste and a circular economy through regional collaboration, programs, and services.

i)

existing building retrofits and construction of new buildings to meet energy and greenhouse gas performance guidelines or standards (e.g. BC Energy Step Code, passive design), the electrification of building heating systems, green demolition requirements, embodied emissions policies, zero-carbon district energy systems, and energy recovery and renewable energy generation technologies, such as solar panels and geoexchange systems, and zero emission vehicle charging infrastructure

D6.2.10 Support the transition to zero- and low-emission vehicles by:

Exploring increasing access to electric vehicle charging in new developments; and Encouraging private industry and public sector organizations to develop or expand their electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

D8.5.5 Provide thermal energy to new buildings in City Centre through financially sustainable District Energy Systems.
