Hamilton TransLink Facility

• road frontage improvements for both Boundary Road and Westminster Highway;
• protection and relocation of various utility lines that service the area;
• provision of appropriate vehicle access for adjacent sites;
• transfer of land and funds to the City to establish a child care facility in Hamilton;
• preliminary approvals for future dike improvements to be undertaken as part of the facility's construction;
• transfer of land to the City for the provision of a park and future trail connections between Westminster Highway and the Fraser River dikes;
• clean up of remnant contamination from previous uses on portions of the development site;
• agreements on how both buses and TransLink employees will access the facility to minimize impacts upon Hamilton;
• various other land exchanges between the City, the Province and TransLink allowing consolidation of the site; and,
• agreement on how the next phases of the development project will proceed.

Next Steps
TransLink's Site - Development Permit

• With the land exchanges and the rezoning of the site completed, TransLink will now focus on more detailed planning for the site needed for the Development Permit review and Servicing Agreements with the City.
• Site preparation activities (e.g., land clearing, demolition of existing structures, site preloading, etc.) will likely occur concurrent to the Development Permit review as provision for these activities has been made through the rezoning conditions.
• The Development Permit Review could take up to a year to complete.

Hamilton Child Care Facility Development

• The City will undertake to rezone the proposed child care site to accommodate proposed use.  The rezoning applications will involve a public hearing process.  Rezoning reviews typically take between three and six months for straightforward developments.
• A geotechnical review will be undertaken to determine what preload requirements are needed for the site.  The results will indicate how long the site preparation will take.
