I guess that's technically possible outside the UEL, but Burnaby tried that with the useless Burnaby Foreshore Park for a new ecowaste facility, and the backlash was so strong, they backed off.
I'm 99.9% sure none of the people protesting that had ever been to Burnaby Foreshore Park.
They just disliked the idea of Burnaby removing any parkland.

The site of Burnaby's proposed green waste facility is not within Burnaby Foreshore Park but adjacent to it, the general public just sees it as part of the park. That land is designated as general urban by Metro Vancouver, it's truly greenfield.
The UEL church and school sites that are surrounded by the park were not taken from the park, that land was never part of the park when it was created. Block F is a different storey as it was part of a reconciliation agreement with the Musqueam.
