金伯利市政厅的网站上公布了2019年11月25日的会议议程，议程中包含OCP土地成分修正案的截图。

A proposed international boarding school is one step closer to becoming a reality in Kimberley after Council voted in favour of an Official Community Plan map amendment, changing the zoning on two sections of land.

金伯利市政厅投票通过了一项官方社区规划修正案，改变了两块土地的用途，这意味着拟议中的国际寄宿学校离成为现实更近一步。

Purcell International Education (PIE) proposes to build an international boarding school on Kimberley Golf Course and adjacent lands owned by Westcastle Developments. They came to Council asking for an OCP map amendment to allow for future planning and development of the campus.

珀塞尔国际教育(PIE)提议在金伯利高尔夫球场和韦斯特城堡开发公司拥有的邻近土地上建立一所国际寄宿学校。他们来到市政厅，提出修改官方社区规划的诉求，以促进未来校园项目的规划和开发。

At a regular meeting of Council on Monday, Council voted six to one in favour of the change, but not without some hesitation from Council members regarding plans going forward.

在周一举行的市政厅例行会议上，对于未来的规划，市政厅成员仍持有少量疑虑，市政厅仍以六比一的投票结果通过修改议案。

Council also held a public hearing on the matter, of which at least 20 members of the community attended.

市政厅亦就此事举行公开聆讯，邀请至少20名社区人士出席。

A few community members voiced concerns about the proposed location acting as a wildlife corridor. Other concerns revolved around accessto the school, with traffic being the number one concern among residents who spoke at the public hearing. Others were also looking for a more detailed planin terms of what the school will look like, and wondered about supervision of the students.

一些社区成员对目前野生动物走廊经过拟建项目地点表示担忧。其他的担忧围绕着如何进入学校这个问题，增长的交通是在公众听证会上发言的居民中最关心的问题。其他人咨询了学校的详细运营规划，并针对学生的监管细则进行提问。

Manager of Planning Services Troy Pollock explained that this is step one in a multi-step process, and simply allows for the land to be zoned ascommercial, which is necessary if the school is to eventually be built.

规划服务经理Troy Pollock解释说，为了学校最终建成，允许将土地划为商业用地只是必要程序中的第一步。

“The OCP amendment on its own will not authorize any physical changes to the lands,” Pollock said in his report to Council. “The details ofthe design and layout of facilities and infrastructure for the campus will be subject to further review and decision on future applications for zoning amendment, subdivision, development permits and building permits.”

“OCP修正案本身不会授权土地进行任何实质的改变，” Pollock在提交给市政厅的报告中说。“校园设施和基础设施的设计和布局的细节将受到进一步审查，并根据将来的区划修改，土地细分，开发许可和建筑许可的实行而做出最终决定。”

He adds that the proposed campus areas are in close proximity to existing infrastructure, allowing for easy access to utilities, pathway and road connections.

他补充说，拟建的校园区域距离现有的基础设施较近，因此学校方便沿用公用设施和道路交通网络。

Tom Ristimaki of PIE was at the public hearing, stating that there will be a community information night in the near future, likely to take place on Thursday, December 5, 2019.

PIE的Tom Ristimaki在公开听证会上表示，在不久的将来会举行一个夜间社区信息分享会，暂定会议时间为2019年12月5日星期四。

“The business model is deliberately not competitive with the local school districts. We care about the kids, the environment, and the community we live in. We also care about the community’s quality of life. We are very careful and intentional about who we work with,” he said. “This is an important step forward in the process for us tonight, and there will be many more opportunities to discuss the specifics going forward.”

“在新建学校的商业模式中，学校并不与当地教育局竞争。我们关心孩子、环境和我们生活的社区。我们也关心社区的生活质量。我们对与谁合作非常谨慎，并拥有详尽计划，”他说。“今晚对我们来说，是向前迈出的重要一步，随着项目推进，我们未来将有更多机会讨论细节。”

Councillor Kent Goodwin said, stating that this OCP change will show commitment from the community.

议员Kent Goodwin表示，OCP的这一改变将展现社区的承诺。

Councillor Sandra Roberts agreed that this is the first step in an ongoing process.

议员Sandra Roberts同意这是持续进行程序的第一步。

“We need to take this next step to allow for future plans. [PIE]needs to know what they are planning on. It’s not a big step with the OCP,” she said.

“我们需要采取下一步行动，为未来的计划做好准备。(PIE)需要清楚他们的计划是什么，OCP并不是最重大的步骤，”她说。

Mayor Don McCormick was the last to speak on the matter,agreeing that there is a lot of work ahead for both PIE and City staff before the school is built.

市长Don McCormick是最后一个就此事发表讲话的人，他同意PIE和市政人员在学校建成之前还有很多工作要做。

“The OCP is the highest level change and most simple change. No organization will invest unless they know the community is supportive with the land use,” McCormick said. “There are three or four layers cascading down from here with higher and higher levels of detail.

McCormick说：“OCP是最高级别的更改，也是最简单的更改。任何投资者在知悉社区支持土地改作商业用途前都不可能进行投资。但从这里开始，仍有三四层的工作需要深入进行，需要落实的细则的层次也会越来越高。”

“We all need to have patience with the process; details will become more clear and we will continue to make informed decisions going forward.”

“我们都需要对这个过程保持耐心;所有细节将变得更加清晰，而我们将继续做出明智的决策。”
