With the guidance from Leslie Gilbert from the planning department, the working group members discussed the HCA designation, the physical location/boundaries and the implications.
It has been generally agreed that the HCA area will be developed in a two (or maybe more ?) phase approach, starting with a smaller area around Clarke St (St Johns to Queens) and eventually increasing to a larger area, based on the outcome of the process in the smaller area.
Conversations continued around what the HCA designation means, what can be done to encourage heritage revitalization and protection, and the impact on property owners, both negative and positive.
The HCA is an important process for Moody Centre and the city as a whole - we repeatedly hear about the charm and unique character of Port Moody, and without some efforts to preserve this, Port Moody could become 'just another city' !
