Environmentally Sensitive Areas - Burnaby
Smart Bylaws Guide – Connect the Green Infrastructure – Environmentally
Sensitive Areas - Burnaby
In 1994 Burnaby commissioned an ESA report, titled The Nature
of Burnaby: An Environmentally Sensitive Areas Strategy, that
broadly identified both private and public lands which could be
considered ESAs. Taking a phased implementation approach, Council
adopted 10 comprehensive principles for sensitively managing public
ESA lands as the first step in the strategy. These public lands are
identified in the
OCP
and Greater Vancouver Regional District Regional Growth Strategy as
Green
Zone Lands, and encompass 25% of the municipal land base.
The City's current approach, and policy and regulatory tools
employed for achieving environmental protection, are summarized in
diagrammatic form in the City's Environmental
Policy Framework and Environmental
Regulatory Framework.
