DP/086/08
The current application proposes to rezone the properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) to permit the construction of a four storey
apartment building containing 81 units with a floor area ratio of 1.46. The apartments are a mix of
one and two -bedroom units, ranging in size from 50.31m2 (542ft2) to 88.26m2 (950ft2). The
building is a four storey wood frame apartment structure over a one storey concrete basement
parking level. An access ramp to the underground resident parking is to be provided via the
proposed rear -lane. Seventeen visitor surface parking spaces are proposed to be located at the rear
of the building, adjacent to the lane.
-2-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The proposed rezoning to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) is in accordance with the
subject properties designation as "Low -Rise Apartment" in the Town Centre Area Plan. The Low -Rise
Apartment designation is intended for development in a three to five storey apartment form where
units are accessed from an internal corridor and residential parking is provided underground. The
current 4-storey development proposal complies with the above criteria.
Both 227th Street and Brown Avenue are identified in the Town Centre Area Plan, Figure 1 - Multi -
modal Transportation network, as part of the Connective Pedestrian Network. This network is
intended to provide pedestrian -friendly linkages outside of the Civic Core and should be designed to
enhance the pedestrian experience with separated sidewalks on both sides of the street, street trees
and the potential for wayfinding signage. Additionally, both 227th Street and Brown Avenue are part
of the Bicycle Network. The Bicycle Network may have dedicated bicycle lanes, where feasible, or
shared arrow markings in street travel lanes to clearly identify bicycle routes to motorists, cyclists,
and pedestrians. The Engineering Department will be reviewing these guidelines with the proponent
at the time civil drawings are finalized.
Zoning Bylaw:
A preliminary review of the plans has revealed that the proposal complies with the requirements of
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985.
Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw
requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although the
application proposes a variance to reduce the total number of required parking stalls from 138 to
130. The applicant proposes to provide residents with 113 parking stalls and visitors with 17
parking stalls; resulting in a total of 130 parking stalls provided for the development. The Off -Street
Parking and Loading Bylaw requires 122 resident parking stalls and 17 visitor parking stalls,
resulting in a shortfall of 9 resident parking stalls.
In accordance with Section 3.4 of the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, the applicant has opted
to pay to the District of Maple Ridge a total of $72,000 in lieu of 9 parking stalls. An up to date
parking study is required to support the proposed reduction.
Development Permits:
As per Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan, a Town Centre Development Permit is required
for all new multi -family residential development in the town centre. The development proposal is
located within the North View Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan. Accordingly, prior to the
issuance of a building permit, the Development Permit must be reviewed and approved. An
application for the Development Permit has been received and will be the subject of a future Council
report.
-3-
Advisory Design Panel:
The application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on February 9, 2010, at which time the
Panel supported the application moving forward to Council, with the following resolution;
• Consider more contemporary material palette consistent with the architecture
• Consider the issue of the visitor parking stalls in conflict with the adjacent units
■ Consider relocation of the amenity room to be on the main floor and have direct access to
the open courtyard
■ Consider securing the open courtyard for the safety of the building
• Resolve the design of the main entry to the building and incorporate a significant canopy and
coordinate with the landscape design
• Consider increasing the depth of the balconies to improve functionality
• Define a visitor access route from the surface parking to the building entry point
• Consider introduction of additional screens to the other elevations
• Consider simplifying the vertical glazing at the main entry
■ Consider altering the parapet heights to create a more varied roof line
• Incorporate a barrier free washroom within the amenity room
The applicant will address the above recommendations and a more detailed report will be forwarded
to Council at the Development Permit stage.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held by the project architect on Tuesday March 2, 2010 at
Harry Hooge Elementary. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed out to qualifying
property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the
development sign on site. Four (4) people signed in on the attendance sheet and one (1) comment
sheet was completed. The Development Information Meeting summary provided by the applicant is
attached at Appendix G. Additional concerns expressed are included below along with the
applicant's response (in italics);
• Noise and safety issues are a concern if the proposed back lane continues through to the
lane on the neighbouring property to the north. People may use this lane as a short cut;
The lane does not necessarily need to go through to eliminate this concern. Or other
steps could be taken to reduce these concerns, such as speed bumps or only
permitted access allowed.
• The proposed entrance to the underground parking is very close to the neighbouring
property. This may result in noise and pollution becoming a nuisance;
ME
There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and
pollution. In addition there will be a trellis over the ramp entrance to provide the
best possible screening.
• The proposed building will block views for the neighbouring property to the north;
The proposed building will also block the noise from the fire hall.
• Building construction will be noisy for the neighbouring residents.
Construction will follow all City guidelines for safety and hours of operation.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that all of the services required in support of the rezoning
do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the applicant to enter into a Rezoning
Development Agreement and post the required security to complete the necessary works prior to
final reading. The Engineering Department has provided the following comments;
1. The applicant is responsible for the construction of the rear lane.
2. The four existing driveways letdowns on 227 Street must be removed and replaced with new
concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk.
3. The developer's consultant must examine the existing sanitary sewer to determine its
adequacy to serve the new development.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they
will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that
there will be additional trees added to the street tree inventory. The Manager of Parks & Open
Space has advised that there is maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree which will affect
their operating budget.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has no concerns with the current application.
E612
CONCLUSION:
The current application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. It is, therefore,
recommended that First Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6712-2010 and it
be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Re: Development Information Meeting for 12060, 12068, 12074, 12082 227 ST, Maple Ridge, BC
March 3r°, 2010
DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION MEETING SUMMARY, RZ/086/08
A development information meeting was held at Harry Hooge Elementary, 12280 - 230th Street, Maple Ridge on Tuesday,
March 2, 2010 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. regarding residential development at 12060, 12068, 12074, 12082 227 ST, Maple
Ridge, File #: RZ/086/08.
The meeting was attended by a group of approximately 6 people of which 4 signed in the attached attendance list.
Wilson Chang from Wilson Chang Architect opened the meeting welcoming the attendees. Wilson encouraged the people
to sign in the provided attendance list and fill out the provided comments sheets. Mr. Chang continued with a presentation
of the proposed development including project analysis, neighbourhood context, and site planning and building design.
After the presentation the attendees were encouraged to express their comments and concerns on the proposed
development. The reception of the development in general was very positive. Please see below a summary of the only
concerns from the attendants.
Summary of the comments and concerns:
1. If the proposed new back lane continues through to the lane on the neighbouring property north of the
development, people could use this lane as a shortcut. Noise and safety issues are a concern.
Wilson Respond: The Lane does not necessary need to go through to eliminate that concern. Or other steps
could be taken to reduce these concerns, like speed bumps and only permitted access.
2. Planned entrance to the underground parking is very close to the next door property (north). Noise and
pollution could come to adjacent units.
Wilson Respond: There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and pollution.
In addition there will be Trellis over the romp entrance to provide the best possible screening.
3. Building will block the view to the south for the neighbouring property on the north.
Wilsons Respond: It will also block the sound of the fire hall.
4. Building construction will be noisy to the neighbouring properties.
Wilsons Respond: Construction will follow all city guidelines for safety and hours of operation.
Sincerely,
Wilson Chang

b) Project Description:
The subject property is 0.811ha in size and is bound by single family residential properties to the
north, east, and west and 124th Avenue to the south. Agricultural Land Reserve properties are
located to the south of the subject property, across 124th Avenue.
There is an existing home on the western portion of the property, which the applicant is proposing to
retain.
c) Planning Analysis:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to permit subdivision into two single family
residential lots.
Official Community Plan:
The proposed rezoning to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) is in accordance with the subject
property's designation as "Estate Suburban Residential" in the Official Community Plan.
An Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report has been prepared, as per the
requirements of Section 6.2.2 of the Official Community Plan.
-2-
Ap,ricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment
The Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report, prepared by Letts Environmental
Consultants Ltd., and dated January 29, 2010 concludes the following:
• The proposed development's direct footprint will not result in permanent loss of land from
agricultural production;
• No severance or isolation effects will result in any land within the ALR or in agricultural
production or added operational challenges to farmers. However, future changes in
operational practices within the ALR lands to the south of the proposed development are
unknown and may occur, these may result in opposition from urban neighbours and could
be viewed as a nuisance. Therefore, it is recommended that a disclosure be prepared, and
provided to all homebuyers or prospective homebuyers of parcels within the proposed
development, regarding possible negative impacts of agricultural activities;
• The greatest potential impacts on agriculture from the proposed development are indirect
impacts on drainage. However, the potential impacts on drainage can be easily mitigated
through careful planning and design and the use of best management practices;
• The proposed development will not require existing fences along 124th Avenue to be
removed or realigned. Fences damaged or removed should be reinstalled as outlined
herein. There will be no trespass onto agricultural lands;
• The proposed development will not have negative implications for travel between farm
parcels;
• The surrounding quality and quantity of surface and sub -water will not be negatively affected
by the proposed development; and
• Every effort should be made to ensure that existing direction of flows through ditches
including roadside ditches be maintained and that water in ditches, that may be used as
source irrigation water, not be altered. No diversion of existing drainage ways is required or
recommended.
Zoning Bylaw:
The RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zone requires a minimum lot area of 4,000M2; a
minimum lot width of 36m and a minimum lot depth of 60m. The 2 proposed single family lots
comply with the above requirements of the Zoning Bylaw as follows;
• area of each lot is proposed to be 0.405ha;
• the lot widths are proposed to be 41.9m; and
• lot depths are proposed to be 96.6m in.
En i aering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the rezoning and subdivision and provided
their comments to the applicant. The development will be serviced with sewer and water in
-3-
accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993
as amended.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks and Leisure Services Department has identified an equestrian trail along 124 Avenue and
are prepared to support the concept for the placement of the equestrian trail (along 124th Ave.)
subject to the details in the servicing plans providing continuous surface that is acceptable for
equestrian use by our trail partners the "Haney Horsemen".
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed
they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated
that there will be an additional 2 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design
will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance
requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $50.00.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6720 -
2010 and that application RZ/027/09 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone a portion of the subject property from RS-2 (One Family
Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Urban Residential). To proceed to
second reading further information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6722-2010 be given First Reading, and;
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, B and F of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999.

1.903 HA. (4.77 acres)
RZ/103/06
This project was the subject of a previous rezoning application (RZ/103/06). Council considered
this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on May 20, 2008 and granted 2nd and 3rd
reading on May 27, 2008 to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6564-2008.
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 states that rezoning applications will be closed one
year following the date of third reading of the Zone Amending Bylaw unless the applicant has
received an extension from Council. The proponent was notified about the impending closure and
was given the option to extend. No extension request was received, therefore, Zone Amending Bylaw
No. 6564-2008 expired and rezoning file RZ/103/06 was closed.
c) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the southern portion of the subject property from RS-3 (One
Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Urban Residential) to allow for
future subdivision. The remainder of the lands cannot be provided with municipal services at this
time and therefore will be left as a single parcel under existing zoning. Major infrastructre
improvements are required before sanitary sewer and water service can be extended beyond this
subdivision. An existing dwelling on the northerly portion of the lands will remain.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will occur
once a full application package has been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will
be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and
yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
development permits.
-2-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
Albion Area Plan
The property is designated Low -Medium Density Residential on the Albion Area Plan and the
proposed RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Urban Residential) zoning complies with this land use
designation in the Albion Zoning Matrix (Section 10.2.7). An OCP amendment is required to
designate the conservation area around the watercourse.
Section 7.6 Multi -Use and Equestrian Trails, Policy 7-43
An equestrian trail is currently located on the east shoulder of 249 Street and is identified on
Appendix E, Figure 5 Long Term Multi -purpose Trail Plan. A comprehensive inter -departmental
review of the trail network in the north Albion Area will be required prior to second reading.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to -
RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Urban Residential) to permit future subdivision.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application.
Development Permits:
A tributary of Kanaka Creek has been identified on this property through the previous application.
The watercourse and conservation area were not previously identified on the Albion Area Plan and
therefore an Official Community Plan amendment is required to designate this area.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development
Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement
of watercourse and riparian areas.
Development Information Meetin :
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
-3-
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input will be sought,
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a)
Engineering Department;
b)
Operations Department;
c)
Environment Department;
d)
Fire Department;
e)
Parks Department; and
f)
School District;
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application(s)
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, a current evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate
that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. The District's Subdivision
Approving Officer has not assessed a subdivision plan for this site. This will be done once a
subdivision application is received with all supporting documentation.
e) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed to second reading the following information must be
provided, as required by Development Procedural Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
3. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
4. Subdivision Application
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Urban Residential) zone is in compliance with
the Official Community Plan. There is currently insufficient information on the appropriate
geotechnical setbacks to ensure the safety of the development site or to establish how the
environmentally sensitive features will affect the development boundaries of the site or potential
lot yield. It is expected that once sufficient information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending
Bylaw No. 6722-2010 will be amended and an Official Community Plan Amendment for a
Conservation boundary adjustment will be required. It is expected that this information will be
received prior to second reading when a more detailed report will be presented to Council.

Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6725-2010
22875, property east of 22875, 22942, and 22850 136 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Rezoning application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family
Rural Residential) and CD-3-98 to R-1 (Residential District), R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District, RST (a new zone for Street Townhouse Residential), RS-1d (One Family Urban (half -acre)
Residential), and A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural) to permit an Eco-Cluster Residential
development in the Silver Valley Area Plan and 1 agricultural lot in the ALR. An application was
submitted for this site in 2006 (RZ/070/06) and it expired in 2009. The applicant has now
revised the project and has submitted a full application package for Rezoning and OCP
amendments and Subdivision with the supporting documents. They are also preparing
Development Permits and Variance Permits applications for submission. As per the recently
revised Development Procedures Bylaw, a full Rezoning and OCP report will be prepared for 2nd
Reading.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6725-2010 be given first reading.
2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, E, F and G
of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999.

b) Site Characteristics:
The area to be developed is bounded by 136 Avenue on the north and has a panhandle to
132 Avenue on the south. The south portion of the site is located and will remain in the
Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) but will be severed from the Eco-Cluster development. The
northwest corner of the development area contains "Nelson Peak" which is a rocky
outcropping that will be preserved as a look -out area within a Park. The topography of the
remainder of the site slopes downward from the peak to the north, east and south. The area
is mainly treed on the slopes, and tributaries of Cattell Brook, including two pond areas, are
located along the east portion of the site and across the bottom of the steep slope between
the ALR and the Eco-Cluster development. The properties to the east and west of the site are
both under application for similar Eco-Cluster residential development.
Project Description:
The applicant is proposing an Eco-Cluster development with a variety of housing types and lot
sizes. As per the Eco-Cluster guidelines, each lot fronts and backs onto green space and
pockets of development are located to protect existing vegetation and provide view corridors.
The access for the development is a long cul-de-sac from 136 Avenue. The south portion of
the site is in the ALR and will be subdivided on the ALR boundary and zoned A-1 (Small
Holding Agricultural) with access to 132 Avenue via the existing panhandle.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the
Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and
comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more
detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to second reading. Such
assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan
designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development
permits.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
This application will require an amendment to the Official Community Plan to amend the
boundaries between Eco-Cluster and Conservation, and to amend the location of the Horse
Trail.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) and CD-3-98 (Comprehensive Development) to R-1 (Residential District), R-3
(Special Amenity Residential District), RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential), RST
(proposed Street Townhouse Residential), and A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural) to permit the
Eco-Cluster development and one Agricultural lot.
W-M
The proposed RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone has received 3rd Reading from Council
on two different Rezoning applications (RZ/054/02 and RZ/093/06) for development sites in
close proximity to this site. However, those two projects have been delayed and should they
be further delayed or not proceed this application could be stalled without the adoption of the
RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone. To avoid this delay, it would be appropriate to
proceed with a duplicate RST (Street Townhouse Residential) zone bylaw with this project so
that whichever application proceeds to final reading first will adopt the bylaw.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zones will require a Development
Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Official Community Plan, an Intensive Residential Development
Permit application is required for the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) portion of the
proposal to ensure it provides emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the
built environment, while protecting important qualities of the natural environment.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection
Development Permit application is required for all development and building permits within 50
metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse
Protection Development Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development
Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity for:
• All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule "B";
• All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
• All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C"
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas. Within the Silver Valley Area Plan the Conservation areas are shown on Figures
2,3and 4.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading
the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with
Council Policy 6.20.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after First Reading comments and input will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
• Engineering Department
• Operations Department
• Environmental Section
• Fire Department
-4-
• Building Department
• Parks Department
• School Board
• Ministry of Environment
• Department of Fisheries
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will
take place after First Reading.
e) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, or has already
been provided, as required by Development Procedural Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended:
• Official Community Plan application (Schedule A);
• Rezoning application (Schedule C);
• Development Variance Permit application (Schedule E);
• Watercourse Protection Development Permit application (Schedule (F);
• Natural Features Development Permit application (Schedule G);
• Intensive Residential Development Permit application;
• Subdivision application (received)
The above list is intended to be indicative only and other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is not in complete compliance with the Official Community Plan, however,
justification has been provided to support an Official Community Plan amendment. It is
recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and
assessed prior to Second Reading. It is expected that once complete information is received, Zone
Amending Bylaw No.6725-2010 will be amended and an Official Community Plan Amendment to
adjust the Conservation boundary and Horse Trail location will be required.
The proposed subdivsion layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and
regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary
and must be approved by the District of Maple Ridge's Approving Officer.

5.96 hectares (14.74 acres)
240th Street
through a Rezoning Servicing Agreement
The subject site consists of two legal lots located at 12507 and 12555 240 Street within the flood
plain area of the South Alouette River. Consolidation of the parcels will be required. The proposed 8
lot bare land strata development is within the 50 meter setback from both the Latimer Channel and
the South Alouette River and hence subject to a Watercourse and Natural Features Development
Permit. Access to the proposed bare land strata lot is from 240th Street.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need
to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require
application for further development permits.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Communes Plan:
The subject site is designated "Estate Suburban Residential" as per the Official Community Plan.
This designation permits single detached and duplex housing in areas outside the Urban Area
Boundary on properties within the Fraser Sewer Area or on properties where sewer services have
already been connected. The Estate Suburban Residential land use designation is characterized
generally by 0.4 hectare lots.
The proposed Suburban Residential Strata Zone (RG-2) is compliant with the Official Community
Plan designation however this application requires an Official Community Plan amendment to
Schedule "C" to define the conservation boundary of the Latimer Channel and the South Alouette
River impacting the site. Additional environmental information will be required prior to proceeding to
-2-
Public Hearing, to determine the environmental and geotechnical setbacks for the site and to
determine that the proposed use is appropriate for the subject site.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject site located at 12507 and 12555 240 Street
from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) to permit a bare
land strata development of 8 single family dwellings.
The proposed RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) zone requires a minimum parent parcel size to be
4 hectares. The permitted maximum net density in this zone must not exceed 2.4 units per net
hectare. The net lot area of the subject site is unknown as the conservation boundaries cannot be
established until further information is provided. The maximum lot coverage permitted in this zone is
10% of the net lot area and maximum height of the single family units permitted is 10 meters. The
minimum setbacks for the single family units permitted in this zone are: Front, Rear and Exterior
side yard setbacks at 15 meters and Interior side yard setback at 8.0 meters. Any variations from
the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
At this point, further information will be required to determine if this proposal requires any variances.
This evaluation will take place between first and second reading once the additional information
required is submitted by the applicant.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development
Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 meters of the top
of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development
Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit
application is required for all development and subdivision activity for;
• All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 meters of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule "B";
• All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
• All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C"
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
A preliminary assessment of the property by the District's environmental planner concludes that
both Latimer Channel and South Alouette River would require 30 meter setbacks from either top of
bank or edge of active floodplain, whichever is the larger of the two in accordance with Stream
Protection Regulation Guidelines. This area has been identified in the past as high probability
Species at Risk Act habitat so the qualified environmental professional will need to address this
factor. In addition, any possible impacts from flooding and storm water management will have to be
-3-
mitigated through a combined Watercourse and Natural Features Development Permit application.
We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading once the
additional information required is submitted by the applicant.
Advisory Design Panel:
This application does not require a Commercial, Industrial or Multi -Family Development Permit and
hence does not have to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application as per Council Policy
6.20.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application after first reading, comments and input will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a)
Engineering Department;
b)
Operations Department;
c)
Environmental Section;
d)
Fire Department;
e)
Parks Department;
f)
School District;
g)
Utility companies;
h)
Ministry of Transportation;
i)
Agricultural Land Commission.
j)
Ministry of Environment; and
k)
Department of Fisheries and Ocean.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
e) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedural Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B and Schedule C);
3. Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
-4-
4. Subdivision Application, as per attached requirements.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan designation for the
subject site, however, will require amendment to Schedule "C" to define the conservation boundary
of the water courses impacting the site. It is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to
additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. It is expected that
once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw no. 6723-2010 will be
amended and an Official Community Plan Amendment for Conservation boundary adjustment will be
required. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the District of Maple Ridge's Approving Officer.

Bob's A to Z Rental Ltd., an equipment rental commercial operation, currently exists at 20850
Lougheed Highway (Lot 5) and 20862 Lougheed Highway (Lot 6). An application has been
submitted to rezone the adjacent eastern property located at 20870 Lougheed Highway (Lot 7) from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to CS-1 (Service Commercial) to permit the storage of mobile
rental equipment and facilitate internal circulation for the existing equipment rental operation on
Lots 5 and 6. Consolidation of Lots 5, 6, and 7 will be a condition of the rezoning.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Communi Plan:
The subject property, 20870 Lougheed Highway (Lot 7), is designated as Urban Residential in the
Official Community Plan. The proposal is to amend the Official Community Plan to re -designate this
property as Commercial, to enable the expansion of the existing commercial business situated
immediately to the west. The expansion of the existing business is supported by Section 6.1 of the
Official Community Plan, which contains an objective "to support, maintain and market the
community to current and potential employers". The site is a natural extension of the commercial
designation to the west, is vacant, and is limited in residential potential, given its location on
Lougheed Highway and narrow lot width. The lot's incorporation into the rental business improves
the viability of the business, the security to the existing equipment yard, and eliminates a potentially
problematic driveway access onto Lougheed Highway.
Zoning B law:
A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the
proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although Lots 5, 6, and 7 would need to be consolidated
prior to rezoning. Landscaping and servicing requirements would also need to be met.
Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning as there is no proposed new development
and site improvements are valued at less than $25,000.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was hosted by the applicant on December 18, 2008, at the
Maple Ridge Travelodge, located at the intersection of Lougheed Highway and 216th Street, with no
attendees, therefore no questions nor concerns were raised.
Itcm
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The additional storage space will allow for improved internal circulation for equipment movement
and customer parking. Some interest has been expressed by the neighbouring property for
commercial designation also. The District has not supported this request as the site has very limited
access, has a smaller site area due to the watercourse setback area, and is not well suited to a
commercial use.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
En,gtineering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the rezoning and provided their comments to
the applicant. There is no proposed new development, therefore the services provided through Lots
5 and 6 will be adequate for this application, provided that the three lots are consolidated as
planned. The lots will be serviced to a full urban standard in accordance with the provisions of the
Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 as amended.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department reviewed the application for rezoning and had no concerns as no access to Lot
7 is proposed after lot consolidation.
f) Intergovernmental Issues:
Local Government Act:
An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any
affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section
882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, changing the designation of Lot 7
from Urban Residential to Commercial, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined
that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the
Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School
District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 6638-2008 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6639-2008 and that application
RZ/021/04 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Legal: Lot: 8, Section: 28, Township: 12, Plan: 2637; PID: 010-501-932
236 Street & 134 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant for the above noted file has applied for an extension to this rezoning application under
Maple Ridge Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. This application is to rezone 1.13
acres of the District -owned property (with no civic address), in Silver Valley, from RS-3 (One Family
Rural Residential) zone to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to permit the
future subdivision of 8 single family lots. This application involves the exchange of land for "park"
(west of 2361h Street) with 8 lots rezoned and subdivided under this application.
RECOMMENDATION:
That a one year extension be granted for rezoning application RZ/081/06 and that the following
conditions be addressed prior to consideration of final reading:
i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of
the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement;
ii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant which addresses the
suitability of the site for the proposed development;
iii. Completion of Phase -II of the subdivision located at 13396 233rd Street and transfer to
the District of the "Park" lot intended to be exchanged for the subject site.

Application Progress:
• Item i will be dealt with as soon as the final servicing drawings are submitted for review.
These are being finalized based on comments from the Engineering Department.
• Item ii requires a Geotechnical Covenant addressing the suitability of the site for the
proposed development. The applicant's Geotechnical Engineer is working on a consolidated
Geotechnical Report which will be attached to this restrictive covenant.
• Item iii deals with creation of the park lot for the land swap. Originally the Landmark
subdivision was a single proposal which was later phased due to the changing market
conditions in the last two years. Recently the Landmark -phase 1 subdivision was completed.
At a Closed meeting on June 12, 2006, Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement
with the owner that would allow the District to acquire the portion of the subject property
which is designated for park in exchange for a portion of neighbouring District owned
property (the subject site). The applicant is currently preparing for the Landmark -phase 2
subdivision application and recently had a meeting with the Property Manager to discuss the
revised development costs associated with the land swap. Although the agreement has not
been finalized to date, now that the Landmark -phase 2 layout and related service
requirements on the District owned property are largely determined, the parties expect to
finalize the exchange agreement in the near future.
Alternatives:
Council may choose one of the following alternatives:
1. grant the request for extension;
2. deny the request for extension; or
3. repeal third reading of the bylaw and refer the bylaw to Public Hearing.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has been actively pursuing the completion of this rezoning application and has applied
for a one year extension. It is anticipated that within the next couple of months the Landmark
subdivision -phase 2 application will be submitted as all the preliminary work has been done. Once
the "park" lot is created through the Landmark -phase 2 subdivision, final consideration could be
given to these lands for the land swap to occur. The proposed rezoning is with the intention of
exchanging zoned and subdivided land with the applicant. This land -swap allows the park to be
acquired without direct purchase. Therefore, it is recommended that application RZ/081/06 be
granted a one year extension.

236 Street & 134 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This application is to rezone 0.457 hectares (1.13 acres) of the District -owned property located at
the south-west corner of 236th Street and 13411 Avenue in Silver Valley, from RS-3 (One Family Rural

his property designated "park" for the land being rezoned for 8 lots under this application. Phase 1
of this subdivision proposed at 13396 233rd Street (SD/081/08) to the west of 2361h Street consists
of 28 RS-1b (One Family Urban Residential -Medium Density) zoned lots. The applicant and the

Hearing; and
That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading.

to urban standard through the Rezoning Servicing
Agreement
SD/081/06
The proposal is to rezone 22.6 % of the total site (0.457 hectares out of 2.022 hectares) owned by
the District, to support a future subdivision of 8 single family lots. The site slopes down from the
northeast corner to the southeast corner with an average 20 % grade. The access to the site is
mainly from 236th Street and also from 134th Avenue. The above mentioned site is owned by the
District and the applicant is accepting this rezoned site in exchange for a "Park" lot which will be
created in phase II of a subdivision proposed at 13396, 233rd Street.
-2-
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Commun' Plan:
The Official Community Plan designation for the subject property is Residential -Medium Density
(71%) and Open Space (28%). The portion of the site proposed to be rezoned to 8 RS-1b (One Family
Urban -Medium Density) lots occupies only 22.6 % of the site; hence the proposal is in compliance
with the Official Community Plan.
Zoning Bylaw:
The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw requires RS-1b lots to be minimum 15.0 m wide, 27.0 m deep and of
a minimum lot size of 557 m2. The proposed 8 RS-1b (One Family Urban Residential- Medium
Density) lots range in area from 558 m2 to 609.3 m2 and comply with the width and depth required
in the proposed zone.
Development Information Meetin
As the development proposal is for less than 25 units in compliance with the Official Community
Plan, a Development Information Meeting is not required.
Adviso Design Panel:
The proposed project does not have to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel as it does not
require a Development Permit.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Property Management Committee:
In the Silver Valley Area Plan, which forms part of the Official Community Plan, a portion of the
subject property has been designated for Neighborhood Park. As such, the District has an interest in
acquiring that portion.
At a Closed meeting on June 12, 2006, Council authorized staff to enter into an agreement with the
owner that would allow the District to acquire the portion of the subject property which is designated
for park in exchange for a portion of neighboring District owned property (the subject site). 8 lots
have been proposed out of which 7 lots are equivalent to the "park" land in exchange and the eighth
lot will cover the expenses that the applicant will incur for all the off -site works as part of the
rezoning process. Although the agreement has not been finalized to date, now that the lot potential
and related service requirements on the District owned property are largely determined, the parties
expect to finalize the exchange agreement in the near future.
WE
Engineering_ Department:
The Engineering Department has the following comments:
• Collector standard road required on 236th Street (with curb, gutter, sidewalk, street
lighting, sanitary sewer and storm water drainage), north of 133rd Avenue to the south
boundary of the subject property.
• No road dedication and water main is required as part of this rezoning as it is being
provided by phase I of a subdivision (SD/081/08) proposed at 13396 233rd Street.
• No Geotechnical concerns and DCC forgiveness possible for the subject site.
• Lot 8 to be created from this subject property cannot be created unless road and servicing
is dedicated and constructed on the adjacent land to the south through the phase II
subdivision servicing for the subject property (following rezoning) proposed at 13396 233'd
Street.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department supports the elimination dead-end roads such as Rocky Ridge Drive to provide
a better neighborhood connectivity, public safety and efficient emergency response in this area.
Buildina Department:
The Building Department does not see any out -standing issues with the proposed rezoning and
recommends that a preliminary site grading plan and geotechnical reports may be required at the
subdivision stage.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified the need for this.park in relationship to the
existing houses in this area and the land swap allows the park to be acquired without direct
purchase. When the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street
trees which will be assessed prior to subdivision approval.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed rezoning is with the intention of exchanging zoned land with the applicant. The
applicant has agreed to exchange land with the District, in the form of rezoned land of 8 lots for a
"Park" lot which will be created in phase-ll of a subdivision proposed at 13396, 233rd Street. If this
rezoning is not approved for any reasons that the Council feel are appropriate, the District will have
the option of buying the "park" land outright.

fronting Dewdney Trunk Road. The renovation consists of the addition of a metal roof over top of
the existing concrete podium. The roof is framed with stained heavy timber which is meant to reflect
the nature of the business operation. The renovation also proposes the addition of metal security
gates, glazed security panels and cultured stone.
To improve pedestrian access to the building, the proposed renovation includes the relocation of the
existing front entrance to the centre of the building. To facilitate the construction of a pathway
connecting the sidewalk to the new front entrance, the applicant proposes to remove a cherry tree
located within the landscaped strip on the municipal boulevard (Dewdney Trunk Road). The
applicant has submitted an arborist report which states that an excavation to transplant the tree to
a different location could result in significant damage to the tree's critical root zone. Therefore, the
applicant has proposed to remove the tree and compensate by enhancing the landscape strip on
the municipal boulevard with additional plantings. There are no changes proposed to the site
access, parking or on -site landscaping.
Green Initiatives:
Green items have been introduced for this development as per the following:
• The renovation improves pedestrian access to the building; and
• The roof addition shades the existing building from the summer sun.
•
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
A Town Centre Development Permit is required for all new commercial development in the Town
Centre. The development is subject to the guidelines applicable to Section 8.11 Maple Ridge Town
Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan that aim to regulate the
form and character of development in the Town Centre.
The development proposal is located within the East Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan. The
East Precinct offers great potential for new development that can contribute to more urban and
pedestrian -oriented development. This development respects the key guideline concepts as
outlined in this section.
1. Provide a gateway to the Town Centre.
The exterior fagade renovation promotes the creation of the East Precinct as a gateway to the Town
Centre by enhancing the architectural quality and character of the existing building.
2. Create a pedestrian -oriented, mixed use commercial area.
The fagade renovation is sited and scaled in a manner that enhances the definition of the street and
sidewalk. The proposed relocation of the entryway further promotes pedestrian access by providing
a visible storefront entrance directly off the sidewalk.
3. Enhance the quality, character and vibrancy of the Town Centre.
The fagade renovation incorporates materials and colours that reflect the character of the local
business. The proposed renovation presents an attractive appearance to the street while
maintaining a cohesive architectural style which is complimentary to the existing building.
4. Capitalize on important views.
The size and scale of the fagade renovation ensures that mountain views are not diminished.
5. Provide public outdoor space.
Although the scale of the renovation does not provide for any public outdoor space, the relocation of
the front entryway facilitates improved access to the sidewalk.
6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features.
No changes are proposed to the on -site landscaping. Additional landscaping, however, is proposed
on the municipal boulevard in conjunction with the fagade renovation.
-3-
7. Maintain street interconnectivity.
No changes are proposed to the existing street network. Pedestrian interconnectivity is enhanced
with the proposed relocation of the front entrance.
d) Development Variance Permit
The existing building is currently non -conforming with respect to the minimum rear lot line setback
(Dewdney Trunk Road). The CS-1 (Service Commercial) zone of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw no. 3510-
1985 requires a minimum 6.0 metre setback from the rear lot line and a 5.9 metre setback
currently exists. As the renovation proposes to increase this setback non -conformity, a formal
variance is required.
Development Variance Permit DVP/054/09 seeks to vary the required minimum 6.0 metre rear lot
line setback of the CS-1 (Service Commercial) zone to permit a minimum 0.49 metre rear lot line
setback to the face of the structure and a minimum 0.06 metre rear lot line setback to the roof
overhang.
The proposed siting variance is consistent with the key guidelines of the East Precinct outlined in the
Official Community Plan. Bringing the roof addition closer to Dewdney Trunk Road supports the
creation of a pedestrian -oriented commercial area by improving the definition of the street and
sidewalk.
e) Advisory Design Panel:
The application was initially reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel at a regular meeting held
September 8. 2009. At that date the Panel made the following resolution:
The Panel would recommend that the applicant return to the Advisory Design Panel and consider
the following points in their resubmission;
• Provide new planting proposal for the boulevard planting at both the low level and tree level
and suggest that new trees flank the proposed entry;
• Reconsider the relationship between the expression of the existing building and the new
structure.
The proponent revised the drawings respecting the Panel's recommendations and the application
was brought back to the Advisory Design Panel at the December 8, 2009 regular meeting. At that
date the Panel made the following resolution:
The Panel would like to thank the applicant for the changes made to the development and
consider them to be an enhancement to the project. The Panel supports the project moving
ahead but requests the following items to be considered;
• Reconsider the location of the timber railing at the front of the glass; perhaps consider
utilizing a similar material for the entry gates.
-4-
The applicant has revised the railing to a prefinished metal the same colour as the corporate
colours of the business.
• Consider integrating the color of the metal entry gates with the colors of the existing building.
The applicant has revised the colour of the gate to be the same colour as the corporate colours
of the business.
• Consider the assessment of the health of the existing cherry trees and subject to this
assessment consider replacing them with a healthier and more appropriate street tree.
The applicant has submitted an arborist report which evaluates the health of the three (3)
existing cherry trees located on the municipal boulevard fronting the site. The arborist report
concluded that two (2) of the trees appear healthy while the other tree is showing some signs of
stress. The tree that is showing signs of stress is the tree that is proposed to be removed to
facilitate the construction of the pathway connecting the sidewalk to the relocated front
entrance. As the two (2) other trees appear to be in good health, the applicant has proposed to
retain them in their current location.
• Consider the removal of the horizontal timber element which extends along the east facade
of the building.
The applicant has removed the horizontal timber element which extended along the east fapade
of the building.
f) Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council's Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. As no on -site landscaping is
proposed, no security is required at the Development Permit stage.
g) Alternatives:
Council approval is required for all commercial development in the Town Centre Development Permit
Area prior to issuance of a Building Permit. Council can reject Development Permit DP/054/09 on
the grounds that they feel the development permit guidelines have not been met.
Development Variance Permit DVP/054/09 to vary the minimum rear lot line setback is required
prior to approval of the Development Permit. If Council does not support the requested variance,
the Development Permit cannot be approved.
-5-
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the majority of the Town Centre Development Permit
Area Guidelines, it is recommended that Development Variance Permit DVP/054/09 and
Development Permit DP/054/09 be favorably considered.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
12353 264th Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act
to exclude approximately 4.045 hectares (10 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The Applicant's submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the
Agricultural Land Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
At their February 14, 2005 Workshop, Council resolved that the process for referring
applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with
a summary of Council's comments and the staff report.
Staff Recommendation:
That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission

264th Street
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of 1241h Avenue and
264th Street. It is adjacent to land designated Suburban Residential to its north and to its east
but is 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The applicant's preliminary subdivision sketch indicates a proposal to develop the property to a
suburban residential standard. This use could not be permitted under the Agricultural land use
designation or under the existing RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zone of the subject
property. In order to realize this development, a rezoning application and an amendment to the
Official Community Plan would be required, which would trigger the need for approvals from
Metro Vancouver. Under its Agricultural land use designation, the subject property is within the
Green Zone of the Regional District. Any change to this designation would trigger the need to
amend the Livable Region Strategic Plan, and there is no guarantee that such an application
would be successful.
The property is within the vicinity of Mogley Creek, and for this reason, is within a watercourse
development permit area. Steep slopes are also noted on the site, which would trigger a natural
features development permit. These site constraints could impact the developable portion of
the site, and may affect the number of lots that could be created, if the application is successful.
One letter was received in response to this application that noted the required mitigative
measures on the property prior to development occurring if this application is successful.
Intended to ensure that agricultural capacity would be maintained on adjacent agricultural
properties, these suggested measures include:
• The installation and maintenance of buffer provisions and fencing to protect adjacent
ALR lands
-2-
• Storm water management
• Erosion and sediment control in the subdivision plan and all phasing of construction
• Notices of title to inform new residents of farm operations nearby.
c) Planning Analysis:
To assist Council in the decision of allowing this application to proceed further, this development
proposal will be reviewed in light of the policies of the Official Community Plan, the Agricultural
Plan, and on identified community need.
Official Community Plan Policies
The Maple Ridge Official Community Plan emphasizes the value of agriculture in contributing to
the local economy and to the rural character of the community. It is noted that Maple Ridge
agriculture faces considerable challenges, but there is consistent community support for local
farming. Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan states:
Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by.
a) Adopting a guiding principal of "positive benefit to agriculture" when making land use
decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of
initiatives including but not limited to supportive non -farm uses, infrastructure
improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural
Land Reserve:
b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact
Assessment of non -farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying
measures to off -set impacts on agricultural capability;
c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads,
topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced
residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land,
d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where
positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated,
e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural
use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural
Residential;
f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more
cohesive parcels.
This application does not address this policy direction.
Agricultural Plan Policies
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan, adopted by Council on December 15, 2009, provided
additional direction for advancing agricultural opportunities in the District. Although adopted,
the specific actions related to the implementation of the Plan are currently being prioritized by
the Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee and will be presented to Council for
endorsement. Pertinent excerpts of the Plan are included below.
BE
The Agricultural Plan recognizes that there may be situations in the future where exclusions may
be required to meet community needs, for example employment generating lands. Goals 5 and
6 of the plan recommend that, where land conversion is unavoidable, levies or other means be
established by the District in order to compensate for the loss of agricultural land. These
recommendations will be reviewed by the Agricultural Advisory Committee who will report back to
Council to recommend the implementation priorities of the Agricultural Plan. This application is
evaluated in the context of "Community Need" later in this report.
Issue 1 in the Agricultural Plan noted the difficulty faced by farmers in gaining access to
underutilized agricultural land. Specific issues included the following:
• Absentee landlords
• Agricultural land held in idle state
• Landless operators unable to find land to farm
• High land cost restricts access.
The Plan indicates that an appropriate means to address these issues would be to encourage non -
farming land owners to make idle land available to farmers or to start farming it themselves. The
Plan notes the need to re-emphasize the role of agriculture in the Agricultural Land Reserve and to
remove some of the perception that the Agricultural Land Reserve is a land reserve for eventual non-
agricultural development in the District.
Issue 5 of the Agricultural Plan discusses the loss of the agricultural land base and notes the
following specific issues:
• Many small parcels
• High level of rural residential incursion into Agricultural Land Reserve
• Non -farmed areas of the Agricultural Land Reserve tend to be smaller parcels
• Limited availability of irrigation water
• Continued conversion pressure from the District of Maple Ridge's urban growth
• Financial pressure on farming
Goal 13 emphasizes the need to ensure that land use designations in the Agricultural Land Reserve
reflect the primacy of agriculture as the highest and preferred land use.
Community Need
It is recognized that there may be justification for excluding land on the basis of community
need, and it would therefore make sense to evaluate this application within this context. The
intent of this application for exclusion is for the purpose of subdivision to suburban levels of
density, which in the District of Maple Ridge would mean 0.4 hectares or 1 acre.
On April 16, 2007 a report titled "Suburban Residential and Estate Suburban Residential Land
Use Designation" was reviewed at Council Workshop. The report explored the development
potential of residential properties outside of the Urban Area Boundary. Based on this
SE
information, noting constraints such as topography and existing lot geometry, it was estimated
that the following additional lots could be created in the Suburban Residential Designation:
• 90 RS-3 zoned lots of 2 hectares could be created,
• 500 RS-3 zoned lots of 0.8 hectares could be created, or
• 1500 RS-2 zoned lots of 0.4 hectares could be created.
The Estate Suburban Designation, which is also outside of the Urban Area Boundary but within
the Fraser Sewer Area, was estimated in early 2007 to have subdivision potential for a range of
between 40 to 170 additional lots. It is acknowledged that municipal water connections would
be required to create RS-3 lots of 0.8 hectares. At the highest density, (RS-2 development), the
provision of community water would be required and a rezoning application from RS-3 to RS-2
would likely be required.
Municipal records for residential development outside of the Urban Area Boundary (including
Rural Residential) are as follows:
• 24 new lots were created In 2007;
• 9 new lots were created In 2008;
• 13 new lots were created in 2009.
These development statistics reveal that significant development potential remains in these
areas. On this basis, there is no apparent need within the community that would be met by
excluding these properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve, should this application prove to
be successful. The District's existing land inventories in Suburban and Urban designations could
satisfy a diverse range of housing demand for many years.
In evaluating this application in light of the policy direction contained with the Official Community
Plan and the Agricultural Plan, it is clear that the proposal is not consistent with these stated
goals. It is also important to consider that applications proposing to exclude land from the
Agricultural Land Reserve tend to encourage land speculation and investments in farm land by
non -farming interests. This tendency increases the competition for acquiring farmland, thereby
increasing its value, and making it more difficult for legitimate agricultural operators to acquire
land for this purpose.
Metro Vancouver
The subject properties are designated for Agricultural use under the Official Community Plan.
Any change in that use would require an amendment to the Official Community Plan, which in
turn would require the approval of Metro Vancouver to amend the Green Zone designation of the
subject property. This is known to be a lengthy process, and based on community need, there
appears to be little rationale for excluding land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for this

Council has been provided with options for processing this application. The report notes that the
applicant's proposal is inconsistent with the policies of the Official Community Plan, with the
Livable Strategic Plan, and with the recommendations of the Agricultural Plan. The District's
records indicated that there is no apparent community need that would be met by this
application. Based on this information, the staff recommendation is not to forward the
application to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Municipal Equipment Purchase, Five Ford Escape Hybrids
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The approved Financial Plan includes funding for replacement of five work and transportation
vehicles. A public request for tenders to supply the five transportation vehicles resulted in four
submissions being received. Following a review and detailed analysis of the submissions, it is
recommended that the contract to supply five Hybrid vehicles be awarded to West Coast Ford.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for the purchase of five Ford Escape Hybrid Vehicles be awarded to West Coast
Ford Auto Group and further that the District of Maple Ridge enter into a contract to purchase the
five units for $176,180.00 including extended warrantee and optional items plus applicable taxes of
approximately $21,141.60.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context
Public Request for proposals closed on January 28, 2010 for the supply of five hybrid
transportation/work vehicles. Four proposals were received, all of which met the tender
requirements. Following a detailed assessment of the submissions the proposal submitted
by West Coast Ford provides best value for the District of Maple Ridge.
b) Financial Implications:
Funds are allocated from the Fleet Replacement Reserve, and approved Capital Budget.
Total Purchase price for the Units is $176,180.00 including warrantee and optional items
plus applicable taxes of approximately $21,141.60. Should Council award the contract, and
delivery date is after implementation of the proposed HST, the District will benefit from being
able to recover a greater percentage of taxes than we can at the present time. Units being
replaced consist of one car and four pickup trucks all with conventional gas engines. All of
these units will be disposed of at public auction.
1110
c) Strategic Alignment
As part of Council's Corporate Strategic Plan a key sustainable strategy to establish energy
efficiency goals for facilities, infrastructure, operations and fleet. The District's Vehicle Fleet
Efficiency Target Statement is to: Increase the overall performance of our transportation
vehicle fleet (increase fuel efficiency, reduce costs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions).
As our transportation vehicles (those that are primarily used to transport people only) are
retired and replaced, choosing hybrid vehicles is moving the District toward its goal of
becoming "carbon neutral" (no net greenhouse gas emissions). With the acceptance of the
purchase of these five vehicles, the total transportation vehicle fleet will consist of 40
vehicles including 27 hybrids.
CONCLUSION:
The additi n of hybrid vehicles to the fleet to replace less fuel efficient vehicles is consistent
with the istrict's Corporate Strategic Plan. The purchase of the vehicles is in the Approved
4e .i award of the contract to supply the five vehicles is recommended.

2010 Community Grants
DATE: 9 March 2010
FILE NO:
ATTN: C of W
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
For the 2010 fiscal year, a budget of $61,200 has been established for community grants purposes. In
previous years Council committed to providing grants in 2010 to the Alouette Home Start Society, the
Agricultural Association and Haney Farmers' Market totaling approximately $19,500. Staff has
reviewed other grant requests received in relation to Council's Grants Policy and recommend the
distribution shown on the attached Schedule "A".
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That the proposed distribution of grants as shown on Schedule "A" be approved_
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Content
The grants budget of $61,200 was established to assist organizations that provide valuable
community services. Due to fiscal restraints it is often not possible to provide the level of
support that is requested so an effort is made to ensure that the available budget is distributed
where it will benefit the community while still providing Council with some capacity to support
grant requests received throughout the year.
For 2010, some of the available budget has already been committed as a result of Council
decisions in previous years. The agreement entered into with the Alouette Home Start Society in
2005 provides for a grant to offset property taxes to support their work with youth. Without this
support, the society would not be able to leverage the federal funding necessary for the
operation of the Youth Safe House. In 2008, Council agreed to provide the Agricultural
Association with an annual amount of $12,000 through 2010 to assist the Association with
hosting the annual Country Festival. In 2009 Council committed to providing Haney Farmers'
Market with $10,000 over 2 years, $7,500 in 2009 and the balance in 2010. Once these
commitments are taken into account, there is a balance of $41,700 available for distribution to
other organizations.
The Friends in Need Food Bank, the Salvation Army and the Alouette Home Start Society receive
monies from other levels of government in the form of gaming revenues and other grants.
These revenues help the organizations with their service goals but additional grant monies from
the Municipality will help to offset the pressures of rising costs and increasing demand for the
services they provide.
The Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Sport & Outdoor Recreation Council (MRPMSORC) is a recently
formed organization with a goal of enhancing the development of sports in Maple Ridge and Pitt
1131
Meadows. The local chapter of KidSport BC has committed to providing MRPMSORC with
$3,000 in 2010 to provide 10 financially disadvantaged children between 6 and 18 with the
opportunity to participate in organized amateur sports. MRPMSORC has requested one-time
matching funds from the Municipality, which would allow them to double the number of children
they can support in 2010.
The Family Education and Support Centre's Community Kitchen program helps local citizens
living below the poverty line learn how to prepare affordable and nutritious meals as well as
providing a place of social contact and information about community resources. In the past, the
program has received funding from the Province but this funding has been cut. The Municipality
is being asked to provide one time bridge funding of $5,000 to help the program continue until
other funding can be secured. In addition, the Centre is requesting $2,500 to sustain their
Building Community Solutions program, intended to strengthen neighborhoods and build
community capacity. In the past, the program has received funding through the United Way, but
this has been discontinued, a one-time grant from the District is hoped to help continue the
program while other funds are sought.
As in other years, a community fireworks event is planned near Halloween. While some monies
may be raised through sponsorship, a municipal contribution of $2,500 is recommended.
As per Council's Financial Support Policy, organizations that are denied permissive tax
exemptions are considered under our grants policy. In 2009, the Royal Canadian Legion was
denied a permissive tax exemption for the 2010 tax year, as they did not meet the criteria
outlined in our policies. Staff is recommending that the Royal Canadian Legion be provided with
$2,000 to assist them with their efforts in providing supportive housing to the community's
senior citizens.
In addition to the amount available for community grants, financial support is provided to a
number of local organizations in the form of fee for service agreements. The operating
departments manage these agreements, and the associated budgets. Organizations currently
participating in fee for service agreements include Adopt -a -Block, Alouette River Management
Society, the Kanaka Education & Environmental Partnership Society, the Youth & Justice
Advocacy Association and Ridge Meadows Search & Rescue.
b) Desired Outcomes:
Organizations, such as those identified on Schedule ."A", are increasingly faced with shrinking
resources and increasing demand for the services they provide. Through the use of community
grants Council is able to help such organizations continue the provision of services to the
residents of Maple Ridge.
c) Business Plan / Financial Implications:
The distribution of community grants proposed on the attached Schedule "A" allocates $55,000
to various community groups. The remainder allows Council to address other needs that may
arise throughout the year. The full $61,200 is provided for the 2010-2014 Financial Plan.
There are no additional financial implications.
d) Alternatives
Council could choose not to distribute any grants other than those previously committed to, but
as that decision may jeopardize the ability of various organizations to continue providing
necessary services that is not recommended. Alternatively Council could increase the budget to
meet all of the requests. This is not recommended as such discussion should take place as
part of our business planning cycle.
CONCLUSIONS
The provision of grants to local organizations benefits the citizens of Maple Ridge. The distribution
proposed on Schedule "A" attempts to allocate the limited resources to provide benefit to the
community.

AWARD OF MOWING AND TRIMMING CONTRACT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Invitation to Tender # ITT-PL10-135 for Parks Mowing and Trimming was released on February
12, 2010 via BC Bid. On March 2, the District received a total of nine sealed tenders ranging from
$61,000 to $102,000. All submissions were reviewed by the review panel in accordance with the
District's established evaluation criteria, and the panel has determined Newlands Lawn and Garden
Maintenance to be low bidder.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Grass Mowing and Trimming contract outlined in the 2010-03-03 report on this subject be
awarded to Newlands Lawn and Garden Maintenance for the annual contract price of 61,005.00
plus GST and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign the contract and that the term of the
contract will be for two (2) years beginning March 29, 2010 with an option to renew the contract for
an additional one year period, under the same terms and conditions.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The scope of the tender includes mowing and trimming at over 70 locations where the contractor
has provided individual prices on a per cut basis. The service level is consistent with the District
maintenance level classifications, i.e., class "A" sites such as the City and District core areas are
cut on a weekly basis, while neighborhood parks and trails are cut at a lesser frequency
depending on location, and use. The contract language also provides the District with the ability
to extend, reduce or suspend grass cutting in the event of extreme weather conditions which is
typically between March 15 and October 15 for each year of the contract.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is completion of the lawn maintenance in the most efficient and effective
manner possible, while ensuring that the lawns and other open space areas in Maple Ridge and
Pitt Meadows are maintained at an acceptable level.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Determining the most cost effective and efficient manner to complete parks maintenance
functions is consistent with our business planning processes, where costs of services are
routinely reviewed resulting in a combination of internal and external resources being used to
complete Parks Maintenance functions.

d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The transition to the new contractor for this service should be seamless and without disruption to
the service or service level that our parks' guests have become accustomed to.
e) Business Implications:
The funds required for the mowing and trimming contract are contained in the Parks and
Facilities annual operating budget and do not represent an increased cost over previous years.
