COMMUNITY FORUM
The Community Forum provides the public with an opportunity to ask questions of
Council on items that are of concern to them, with the exception of Public Hearing
bylaws that have not yet reached conclusion.
Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff
members.
Each person will be permitted 2 minutes to speak or ask questions (a second
opportunity is permitted if no one else is sitting in the chairs in front of the
podium). Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to the
individual members of Council. The total time for this Forum is limited to 15
minutes.
If a question cannot be answered, the speaker will be advised when and how a
response will be given.
Other opportunities are available to address Council including public hearings and
delegations. The public may also make their views known to Council by writing or
via email and by attending open houses, workshops and information meetings.
Serving on an Advisory Committee is an excellent way to have a voice in the future
of this community.

and Members of Council FILE NO: 2015-160-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: C of W
SUBJECT: Proposed Bylaw Amendment Pertaining to Residential Building H eight
First and Second Reading
Bylaw No. 7165-2015
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Council has invited staff to bring forward bylaw amendments, such as the height of principal
buildings in residential single family and low rise mult-family zones, in advance of adopting the new
Zoning Bylaw in its entirety. The reason for bringing such amendments forward is to address timely
matters or streamline the development process.
This report discusses and proposes bylaw amendments to create a unified maximum building
height of principal dwellings in single family and in low rise multi-family zones. The proposed
maximum height is 11.0 metres, which is a standard that has been established previously in some
of these zones. This amendment is anticipated to expedite the development process by reducing
the number of applications for Development Variance Permits for this purpose, allowing for a more
efficient utilization of municipal resources. The proposed bylaw amendment is discussed further in
this report.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No . 7165-2015 be given First and Second Reading and
be forwarded to Public Hearing.
DISCUSSION:
a)Project Description:
Residential Building Height
The proposed Zoning Bylaw amendment is to increase the maximum height of principal dwellings in
residential zones to a unified 11.0 metres across all single family zones and in specific multi-family
zones. This initiative has been largely driven by numerous development variance permits that have
been issued in the last few years. A brief review of these applications reveals that a request for
relaxation of building height has occurred in over one third of these applications. In addition,
individual members of Council have expressed concern over the frequency of these variance
requests, and have suggested that the bylaw be amended to increase maximum height.
1101
- 2 -
A review of reports for Development Variance Permits reveals that in general, height variance
requests are made for the following reasons:
Allows for greater flexibility in options for architectural styles and ceiling heights, especially
on properties with complex topography,
Under the current permitted heights in the affected zones, unless a variance is granted, sites
with significant slopes increase the difficulty of establishing a consistent building design in
larger subdivisions,
Reduces the extent of lot grading and retaining walls needed to achieve a development,
Consistent height regulations across residential zones will help to establish and maintain
community character in developing areas.
The proposed maximum height of 11.0 metres has been identified as a reasonable compromise for
accommodating desirable residential development that is consistent with residential neighbourhood
development. An 11.0 metre structure allows for 3 levels of living space.
b) Planning Analysis:

- 3 -
The RS-1, RS-1a, RS-1c, RS-1d, RS-2, RS-3, SRS, RST, and RST-SV zones already have an 11.0 metre
maximum height in the Zoning Bylaw, and therefore, no changes are required.
The RE Elderly Citizen Residential Zone has a maximum height of 12 .0 metres. No changes are
proposed to this zone.
Citizen Implications
Under the current zoning bylaw, many residential zones have maximum building heights un der the
proposed maximum 11.0 metre height. Requested variances are processed through a development
variance permit. A neighbour notification process is a required part of the application process.
Neighbour concerns are received and provided for Council consideration. A number of these
applications have been processed in recent years, and the accompanying public comment has been
minor. It is therefore clear that neighbourhood concerns are few and these variances are generally
acceptable to the community. In addition, the RS-1, RS-1a, RS-1c, RS-1d, RS-2, RS-3, SRS, RST, and
RST-SV zones already have an 11.0 metre maximum height in the Zoning Bylaw. Few concerns have
been expressed about this height, so it is reasonable to conclude that it appears to be an
acceptable standard within the community. This amendment will only affect new construction.
However, infill developments, house additions and renovation projects within established
neighbourhoods could be affected. It should also be noted that multi-family development proposals
on sloping sites may be challenged in accommodating the 11.0 metre maximum height and as a
result may continue to require variances with Council approval.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The adoption of this proposed bylaw amendment will reduce the number of development variance
applications received, and consequently, the revenues from application fees could be affected.
However, fewer resources will be required of staff and Council in processing these applications.
ALTERNATIVES:
This proposed bylaw amendment has been drafted in response to a perceived community need as a
result of Council discussion. However, Council may decide to revise this bylaw, or deny the
amendment from proceeding further.
CONCLUSION:
This bylaw amendment, if approved by Council, will assist in expediting the application process for
residential development in the affected zones. It should be noted that the most common
established urban residential zone is RS-1 One Family Urban Residential which already has a
maximum height of 11.0 meters, as do many other residential zones. This proposed amendment
will therefore create building height consistency in new construction across new developments and
- 4 -
established residential neighbourhoods, where infill developments are occurring. On this basis, it is
recommended that these proposed amendments receive first and secon d reading, and be
forwarded to public hearing.

b) Site Characteristics:
The development site consists of two lots on the northeast corner of 104 Avenue and 245B Street
with a total site area of 1.2 hectares (2.97 acres). The lots have a gradual slope from east to west
down towards 245B Street and there are some areas of steep slopes adjacent to the east property
line. There are saturated wetland areas, channelized flows and riparian habitats located on this site
with water that flows onto this site from the lands to the east (Appendix C). Stormwater
management plans and habitat protection and restoration plans for this site must be coordinated
with development plans for the property to the east, a former gravel pit now under application 2012 -
065-RZ for a similar development of RS-1b zoned lots.
c) Project Description:
The applicant has submitted a proposal to rezone the property to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential) and subdivide the lands into approximately 16 lots (Appendix D). The applicant
intends to choose the Density Bonus option within the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone, which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-family lot sizes with a
minimum area of 371m².
The Community Amenity Program is detailed in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996 – 2013, which will
permit the following:
For the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, the base density is a
net lot area of 557m2. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone and shall be applied as follows:
a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision
containing one or more lots with an area of less than 557m2, payable when the
Approving Officer approves the subdivision.
b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i. minimum net lot area of 371m2;
ii. minimum lot width of 12.0 m;
iii. minimum lot depth of 24 m.
c. Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 (Residential District) zone will apply
and supersede the zoning requirements for the RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone.
The proposed development consists of approximately 15 R-1 (Residential District) sized lots,
amounting to an Amenity Contribution of approximately $46,500.00. The remainder lot (Lot 16) is
greater than 557m² so an Amenity Contribution would not be collected for it. The final number of
lots and amenity contribution will be determined at the time of approval of the subdivision.
The proposed development will be accessed from 245B Street and will provide a new on-site road
and lane which will connect with the road and lane proposed on the adjacent site to the east (2012-
065-RZ and 2012-065-SD). Vehicle access for lots fronting onto 104 Avenue will be limited to the
rear lane. Park dedication is proposed for protection of watercourses and wetland areas on the si te
with an additional area on the remainder lot to be protected by restrictive covenant. The current
owners intend to keep their house and accessory buildings on the remainder lot, with the intent to
further subdivide it in the future. At that time the covenant area would be dedicated as park.
- 4 -
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) 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, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low/Medium
Density Residential. For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required to re-
designate a portion of the site to Conservation for the protection of watercourses and riparian areas.
The application is in compliance with the following Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program
policies:
10 - 4 A Density Bonus through the Community Amenity Program will be permitted on lands
designated Low Density Residential, Low-Medium Density Residential and Medium
Density Residential in the Albion Area Plan.
10 - 5 Where a Density Bonus option is utilized in a single-family subdivision, an Amenity
Contribution is to be applied to all of the single-family lots in the subdivision that
exceed the base density permitted in the zone.
10 - 7 Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the development
review process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land use
designation change that would permit a higher density than currently permitted.
10 - 8 A Density bonus will only be permitted on those lands that are located entirely within
the boundaries of the Albion Area Plan and Urban Area Boundary.
The application is also in compliance with the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996 – 2013 that permits a
Density Bonus option in the Residential Low/Medium Density designation in the Albion Area Plan.
The applicant intends to apply the Density Bonus option to this project, as discussed above in the
Project Description.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 10470 245B Street and 24589
104 Avenue from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential) with a Density Bonus to permit a subdivision of 16 lots.
The application of the Density Bonus, which is specific to the Albion Area Plan, will permit the
applicant to reduce the single-family lot size from the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) base density of 557 m2 to 371 m2. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot for each
lot that is less than 557 m2 is required, as discussed in the Project Description above.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application.
- 5 -
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project,
therefore this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because fewer than 25 lots
are proposed, and the land use is consistent with the OCP designation.
e) 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) Fire Department;
d) Parks Department;
e) School District;
f) Fisheries & Oceans Canada;
g) Ministry of Environment; and
h) Canada Post.
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

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7160-2015
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7023-2013
23262 Silver Valley Road, 13738, 13702 and 13660 232 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Applications have been received to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) and rezone the subject
properties, located at 23262 Silver Valley Road; and 13738, 13702 and 13660 232 Street (see
Appendix A) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to the following zones and Silver Valley land
use designations:
Zone Land Use
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Low Density Urban
RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential)
Low/Medium Density Residential
R-1 (Residential District) Medium Density Residential
R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District)
Medium/High Density Residential
RST-SV (Street Townhouse-Silver
Valley)
Medium/High Density Residential
C-5 (Village Centre Commercial) Commercial
P-1 (Park and School) Neighbourhood Park
Undevelopable lands and environmental compensation land will retain the existing RS-3 (One Family
Rural Residential) zone and will be designated Conservation or Open Space depending on the
function.
The subject rezoning application will permit a future subdivision of approximately 51 single family
lots, 17 street townhouse lots, one commercial lot, and a future neighbourhood park. Council
granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7023-2013 and considered the early consultation
requirements for the OCP amendment on October 22, 2013.
1103
- 2 -
As a result of ground-truthing to establish the developable area, an OCP amendment is required to
revise the boundaries of the land use designations and equestrian trail location to fit the topography
and desired road network. The Low/Medium Density Residential designation will be expanded
through the amendment proposal to allow the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone. It is important to note that the density of the subject properties as a whole will not
exceed the density outlined in the Silver Valley Area Plan. An OCP text amendment is also required to
the Silver Valley Area Plan to allow a greater amount of commercial floor space in the Blaney Hamlet.
This report includes two alternatives for Council’s consideration of the OCP amendment s; which are
to require that the applicant provide rental housing units above the commercial space, or design one
commercial unit to accommodate a commercial daycare use. A third alternative is to require the
provision of both rental housing and a commercial daycare use. The implications of these
requirements are outlined in the Alternatives section of the report.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) That, in accordance with Section 879 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and
on-going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 7160-2015 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a
Development Information Meeting (DIM), and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any
further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw;
2) That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7160-2015 be considered in conjunction with
the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
3) That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7160-2015 is consistent
with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
4) That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7160-2015 be given first and
second readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
5) That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7023-2013 be amended as identified in the staff
report dated August 31, 2015, be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
6) That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i) Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of
the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement;
ii) Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedule “A”, Chapter 10.3, Part VI, A – Silver
Valley, Figure 2 - Land Use Plan, Figure 3A - Blaney Hamlet, and Figure 4 - Trails / Open
Space,
iii) Road dedication on 232 Street and Silver Valley Road as required;
iv) Park dedication as required, including construction of multi-purpose trails; and removal of
all debris and garbage from park land;
v) Purchase of the land identified for future neighbourhood park by the City of Maple Ridge;
- 3 -
vi) Consolidation of the subject properties;
vii) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the geotechnical report, which addresses the
suitability of the subject properties for the proposed development and confirms that the
slope failure area has been remediated;
viii) Removal of existing buildings;
ix) Approval from the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resources for in-stream works on
the site;
x) In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional
Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storag e tanks on the
subject properties. If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that the
subject property is not a contaminated site.

2) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone a total of four properties with a combined area of 6.0 ha (15 acres)
for residential, commercial and park uses within with the Silver Valley Area Plan area. Amendments
to the land use designations will be required to reflect the best suited road network, park location,
and subdivision layout (see Appendix B). The development, in its entirety, is comprised of
approximately 51 single family, 17 multi-family residential lots, one commercial lot, and a
neighbourhood park.
Single Family Component:
The single family lots are of varying sizes, with the largest lots on the east side of the development
site. The subdivision layout includes the construction of three new road segments. Running north-
south will be an extension to Blaney Road, an extension to 232A Street, and a lane parallel to 232
Street. Running east-west will be a new 137 Avenue segment.
Larger RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) lots will back on to the conservation area and transition
to smaller RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) lots further to the west, with the
highest level of residential development focused along the 232 Street corridor as fee simple (non-
strata titled) street townhouses. This pattern of development is consistent with development both
north and west of the subject properties, and complies with the Silver Valley Area Plan.
Commercial Component:
The commercial building is located at the corner of Silver Valley Road and 232 Street. The building
contains two commercial units, with each unit oriented to one of the two road frontages. The
building is one and a half storeys in height, with a roof top deck on the south-west corner of the
building accessed from the larger commercial unit. A patio area is located on the west and north side
of the building as a pedestrian transition between the sidewalk and building. Large windows on the
west elevation and four roll up garage doors on the north elevation create a visual and physical
connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The building will be clad with a combination of steel
grey galvanized corrugated metal siding and accents of red-brown hardi-siding on the more
prominent north and west elevations. Roof overhangs will provide weather protection for
pedestrians (see Appendices E, F, G and H).
Multi-family Component:
Fee simple attached street townhouses are located along 232 Street in duplex, triplex, and fourplex
formations. The units are three storeys in height with a roof top deck that is partially covered.
Building materials are comprised of vinyl siding in white, sage green, and light brown. Vertical bands
of cultured stoned will visually delineate each home. The units will be accessed via a rear lane and
each lot will have a detached garage to accommodate parking for two vehicles (see Appendices I and
J).
Park and Trail Component:
The eastern portion of the subject properties will be dedicated as park for conservation purposes
through the rezoning process. An equestrian trail will be constructed through this park area following
the top of the river bank, which will connect to an existing equestrian trail directly north. Should
lands to the south develop in the future, this equestrian trail would be extended. The design of the
- 6 -
trail will also allow pedestrians and cyclists. An Open Space connection to the equestrian trail from
Blaney Road is also provided in the south-east corner of the development.
Additionally, the subject properties include land identified for a future neighbourhood park; therefore
this portion will be purchased by the City for park development in a future Business Plan following a
community consultation program. The future neighbourhood park is centrally located in the proposed
development. Secondary nature trails will be located along the larger bio ponds 2 and 4, to create
pedestrian linkages from 232 Street to the neighbourhood park, as well as from 137 Avenue into the
neighbourhood park.
Environmental Compensation
An environmental compensation area for relocation of Cattell Brook, is located the the north and
west of the neighbourhood park. The compensation area will be comprised of one large and one
small pond as well as connecting channels approximately one metre in width. The ponds and
channels will be surrounded by a riparian area planted with native plants. A third and fourth biopond
with a connective channel is also proposed along 232A Street and fronting onto 232 Street in the
south-west corner. These will complement the ponds and channels surrounding the neighbourhood
park, and are also part of the overall environmental compensation plan to mimic a creek bed and
accommodate seasonal rainwater run-off. These elements are discussed further in the
Environmental Implications section of this report.
Stormwater Management Component:
The proposed development plan includes consideration to address the three tiers of stormwater
management through an integrated approach. Road side bioswales will be located along the west
side of Blaney Road, the south side of 137 Avenue, and the east side of 232 Street to allow for
infiltration and biofiltration of run-off. The ongoing maintenance for the bioswale features will be
managed through a Local Area Service Bylaw.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
Overview:
The subject properties are located in the Silver Valley Blaney Hamlet and are currently designated as
follows:
Medium/High Density Residential
Medium Density Residential
Low Density Urban
Commercial
Neighbourhood Park
Open Space
Conservation
The Blaney Hamlet is one of three hamlets in the Silver Valley Area. Hamlets are defined in scale by
a 400 metre or five minute walking distance from a central intersection and consist of several
neighbourhoods. The hamlet’s role in the area plan is to provide services to residents within a five
- 7 -
minute walking distance. The Blaney Hamlet Centre is described in the Silver Valley Area Plan in the
following policy:
Policy 5.3.3 a) ii. Blaney Hamlet should be centred at 232nd Street, at approximately 137th Avenue.
The Hamlet centre should contain a civic area, comprised of a park, school and
community facility, such as a day care. The centre should also include a small
commercial area limited to retail floor space of 90 – 140 m2.
The Blaney Hamlet commercial area is located at the intersection of 232 Street and Silver Valley
Road. The highest residential densities are focused along 232 Street and transition to lower
densities as the distance from the commercial node increases. The following sections outline area
plan policies regarding key topics such as density, the Blaney Hamlet commercial node, and parks;
and discuss the project’s compliance with each topic.
Density:
The Silver Valley Area Plan identifies two density ranges for hamlets, with the following policy
applying to the proposed development:
Policy 5.3.9 (a) Medium to medium/low densities, ranging from 15 to 40 units per hectare, will be
located adjacent to schools, commercial uses, and civic uses.
The residential land use designations provide for a range of single family and multi family uses, and
the proposed zones comply with the Silver Valley Area Plan. The proposed densities for this
development application fall within to 15 to 40 units per hectare range as outlined above, with the
highest densities along 232 Street. An OCP amendment is required to adjust the existing land use
boundaries to align with the established road network and developable area. The amount of
Low/Medium Density Residential designation will be expanded through the amendment proposal to
allow the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. It is important to
note that the proposed density of the subject properties as a whole will not exceed the density
outlined in the current Silver Valley Area Plan. Similar OCP amendments have occurred in the past in
the established areas of the Blaney Hamlet to align actual development patterns to OCP boundaries.
The proposed land use designation changes can be supported as they help to provide a transition of
density from the Blaney Hamlet Centre at 232 Street and Silver Valley Road while providing the park
and conservation lands anticipated by the area plan.
Commercial Area:
Each hamlet has commercially designated land within their centres. The subject application includes
the commercial land for the Blaney Hamlet. The following commercial hamlet policies in the Silver
Valley Area Plan guide development of the Blaney hamlet centre:
Policy 5.3.5 (a) Local service commercial uses catering to the needs of residents are encouraged
within Hamlet Centres.
(b) The commercial service area is primarily limited to the needs of the residents within
the 4-500 metre radius from the Hamlet Centre.
(c) The commercial floor space in the Blaney Hamlet is limited to 93 to 140 m2.
- 8 -
The Silver Valley Area Plan calls for 90-140 m2 (968 ft2 – 1,507 ft2) of commercial retail floor space
to be accommodated in the Blaney Hamlet. All of the land designated Commercial in the Blaney
Hamlet will be developed through this application. This application includes 228 m2 (2,454 ft2 ) of
commercial retail floor space, which exceeds the amount of commercial floor space prescribed in the
Silver Valley Area Plan. The applicant is requesting the increased floor area to make the centre
more viable and in response to perceived community need.
An OCP text amendment is required to change the current policy language for hamlet commercial
floor space from “limited” to “typically”. Each of the three hamlets: Blaney, Forest, and Horse; have
the same commercial floor space policy. All three hamlets are included in the OCP amendment to
create consistency, and the policy wording is proposed to change as follows:
1. Schedule "A" Chapter 10.3, Section 5.3 Hamlets, Subsection 5.3.3 Specific Hamlets, is
amended in the following way:
i. Item a) Blaney Hamlet, sub item ii) is amended by replacing the last sentence with the
following: “The centre should also include a small commercial area that is typically
between 90-140 m2”
ii. Item b) Forest Hamlet, sub item ii) is amended by replacing the last sentence with the
following: “The centre should also include a small commercial area that is typically
between 90-140 m2”
iii. Item c) Horse Hamlet, sub item iii) is amended by replacing the last sentence with the
following: “The centre should also include a small commercial area that is typically
between 90-140 m2”
OCP Amendment Justification:
Staff are in support of the additional commercial floor space. The floor space ranges were originally
determined based on a per capita ratio, and each hamlet has the same range of permitted
commercial floor space. While the intention of the commercial policies in the Silver Valley Area Plan
are to focus the largest amount of commercial floor space in the River Village, the increase in the
hamlets is not anticipated to detract from the capacity or mix of services in the River Village.
The OCP amendment is also supportable to allow some flexibility in the final commercial floor space
for commercial buildings in the hamlets, while still maintaining a lower amount of floor space than
the River Village, the main commercial centre in Silver Valley. This approach is also consistent with
the OCP Commercial category policy language. In addition, area residents have consistently sought
shopping opportunities in the area.
The applicant has indicated through recent discussions that they are open to exploring the provision
of rental housing units above the commercial units, or designing one commercial unit to
accommodate the licensing requirements for a daycare use. Both rental housing and daycare in the
Blaney Hamlet are viewed as desirable elements to achieve through this development application.
Furthermore, the increase in commercial floor space would support a commercial daycare use in
addition to the one neighbourhood serving retail space currently permitted in the area plan.
- 9 -
Neighbourhood Park, Open Space and Conservation:
In addition to the commercial land use designation, a neighbourhood park is also designated on the
development site. The following area plan policy will guide future development of the park site:
Policy 5.3.8 (a) Neighbourhood Parks are 0.2 ha (.5 acre) to 0.6 ha (1.5 acres) in size and should be
within a 2-5 minute walk from a dwelling. These parks should provide an opportunity
for social gathering, and will require appropriate amenities, i.e., benches, pathways,
community mailboxes, and should include small playground structures where
appropriate.
The proposed neighbourhood park area is 0.4 hectares (1 acre), and is located centrally in the
development between 232A Street and Blaney Road. In comparison to the current Neighbourhood
Park land designation on the development site, the proposed park location has moved south and
east based on the subdivision’s road network. The Parks and Leisure Services Department has
reviewed the location and amount of land provided and has found it to be suitable. In addition to
neighbourhood parks, natural public open spaces in the Silver Valley Area Plan are generally linear
areas for the provision of various trails that provide non-vehicular connections to surrounding areas
and features. Policy 5.5.4 Natural Open Spaces reads in part that natural open spaces:
“e) Provide a variety of trails that ensure strong linkages and connections to surrounding
amenities and community features.
i. Preserve and enhance historic and existing trails
ii. Establish a hierarchy of trails throughout the natural open space areas, i.e:
Horse Trail: horses, pedestrians
Secondary Horse Trail: horses, pedestrians
Primary Trails: pedestrians, cyclists
Secondary Trails: pedestrians”
The development proposal includes an equestrian trail within dedication Conservation land, which
will enhance the existing trail network in the Blaney Hamlet for all users. An Open Space connection
is provided in the south-east corner to provide access from Blaney Road into the equestrian trail.
Secondary trails are also provided to connect the future neighbourhood park to surrounding street
sidewalks.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 13738, 13702, and 13660
232 Street from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to the following zones:
Zone Minimum Lot Size Number of Lots
Proposed
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
668 m2 8
RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
557 m2 4
R-1 (Residential District)
371m2 13
R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District)
213 m2 26
- 10 -
RST-SV (Street Townhouse-Silver Valley)
217 m2 – interior unit with
lane access
252m2 – end unit with
lane access
17
C-5 (Village Centre Commercial)
668 m2 1
P-1 (Park and School)
n/a 1
This combination of zones will permit future development of a neighbourhood commercial building
as well as a healthly mix of approximately 68 residential units in street townhouse and detached
form (see Appendix C). The proposed zones are in alignment with the OCP land use designations.
iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
Commercial parking and loading spaces are provided behind the commercial building. Siting the
spaces to the rear of the building will enhance the pedestrian streetscape and align with the Silver
Valley Area Plan policies that encourage a commercial scale of development that services
neighbours within walking distance.
Parking for the street townhouses and for the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots is
accessed via a rear lane and is provided in a detached structure to accommodate two vehicles. The
remaining single family lots will have attached two car garages with a driveway apron accessed from
the fronting road.
iv) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following relaxations:
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6 RESIDENTIAL ZONES, Section 601E RST-SV
(Street Townhouse – Silver Valley), item 5.0, to increase the maximum height from 11.0 m (36
ft) to 11.6 m (38 ft) and from 3 storeys to 4 storeys.
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6 RESIDENTIAL ZONES, Section 601C R-3
(Special Amenity Residential District), Sub Section D. AREA AND DIMENSIONS, Item 2 b), to
reduce the minimum lot depth from 27.0 m (89 ft) to 24.0 m (79 ft) for lots 40-44.
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6 RESIDENTIAL ZONES, C. (3)(c)(i) front yard
setback from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 2.5 m (8.2 ft) for proposed lot 55 in the RS-1 (One Family
Urban Residential).
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES, Section 705
VILLAGE CENTRE COMMERCIAL: C-5, Subsection 7) SITING, item a) to reduce the front yard
setback from 3.0 m (9.8 ft) to 2.0 m (6.6 ft);
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES, Section 705
VILLAGE CENTRE COMMERCIAL: C-5, Subsection 7) SITING, item d) to reduce the exterior yard
setback from 3.0 m (9.8 ft) to 2.0 m (6.6 ft).
- 11 -
The requested variances to the C-5 (Village Centre Commercial), RST-SV (Street Townhouse), RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) and R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zones will be the
subject of a future Development Variance Council report.
v) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Sections 8.5, 8.7 and 8.8 of the Official Community Plan, a Commercial, Multi-Family
and Intensive Residential Development Permit application has been made under file reference
2014-072-DP to address the project’s commercial, street townhouse, and intensive residential
components. The development permit will ensure compatibility with adjacent development, provide
emphasis on high standards in aesthetics; while protecting important qualities of the natural
environment and enhancing the unique character of the community.
Pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection and
Natural Features Development Permit application has been made under file reference 2013-086-DP.
The purpose of this permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of
the natural environment.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application has been made
under file reference 2015-139-DP for all development and subdivision activity identified in wildfire
risk areas. The purpose of the Wildfire Development Permit is for the protection of life and property
in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire; and where this risk may be reasonably
abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary measures. The subject property is
located within the Wildfire Development Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the Official
Community Plan.
vi) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character and the landscaping plans for the
commercial building and street townhouses at a meeting held on January 13, 2015.
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the
following resolution:
That the proposal be re-submitted and presented at a future Advisory Design Panel meeting with the
following concerns addressed:
Consider adding a connection or meaningful integration over bio swale to park
Provide interface details on all bioswale areas against publicly accessible areas
Provide landscaping plans for commercial and townhouse areas (more details such as
retaining walls, fences, crossings, planting scheme)
Consider diversifying street tree planting and bioswale tree planting
Consider bringing pavement out at Silver Valley Road and 232nd Street to create a more
urban interface
Consider less connection along 232A along bioswale in favor of a few more meaningful
connections
Provide more articulation on blank walls on south façade in block 5 where possible, such as
extending the bay by enclosing the stairs
Provide a fence or barrier detail to prohibit pedestrian access between townhouse Unit 40
and commercial area
- 12 -
Consider alternating colour scheme for townhouses
Consider further definition and clarity of right in / right out to 232 Street from commercial
area entrance
Subsequent to the January 13, 2015 Advisory Design Panel resolution, the project was presented at
the March 10, 2015 meeting, and the following resolution was made:
The application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and
submitted to Planning staff (File Manager) for follow up:
Remove the small window in unit facing the commercial area
Insure landscaping in renderings is shown on landscaping plans (i.e. the landscaping
bed depicted in rendering A7.1 into the landscaping plan L1.1)
Provide seating along toward the street in the Bio Pond #4 to create a contemplative
space to balance the hard and active corner plaza area associated with the commercial
building.
The ADP concerns have been addressed and are reflected in the current plans. A detailed
description of how these items were incorporated into the final design will be included in a future
development permit report to Council.
vii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Yennadon Elementary on December 10, 2014.
Approximately 10 people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions
with the attendees was provided by the applicant and discussions with the attendees included the
following main points:
Impact of tree removal and road construction on adjacent property and existing fence;
Concerns about construction activity and parking by sub-trades along the street and
potentially blocking access to existing homes;
Concern regarding the architectural design of proposed buildings; and
Concern about slope failure behind existing home on development site.
The following comments respond to the issues raised by the public:
The applicant has surveyed the trees on the neighbouring property and is in discussion with
the concerned resident to provide a new fence once construction is completed.
After review from the Engineering Department, ‘No Parking’ signs were installed along the
south side of Silver Valley Road between 232 Street and to the east of 23250 Silver Valley
Road.
The proposed buildings will use similar building materials to existing homes in the area, while
creating more variety in the design to complement existing homes. The building form and
character has been reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
- 13 -
The existing home where the slope failure occurred was setback well into the steeply sloping
land. Under the development proposal, this area has been determined to be unsuitable for
development and within the watercourse setback area, therefore that land will be dedicated
as park for conservation purposes. The home was demolished and the area where the slide
occurred will be remediated.
4) Environmental Implications:
The subject properties are located within 50 m of the North Alouette River. Additionally, the Cattell
Brook runs through a portion of the development site and the eastern side of the site is
characterized by steep slopes over 30%. Due to the presence and proximity of these watercourses
and natural features, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit is
required. The applicant has submitted and Environmental Assessment Report, prepared by Triton
Environmental Consultants dated March 31, 2015. The report states that the North Alouette River is
a fish-bearing system, within a wide ravine greater than 60 m. The City’s Streamside Protection
Regulations identify a 10 m setback from the top of the North Alouette River bank. Cattell Brook is
described as a non-fish bearing system with a 15 m setback, as identified in the 2008 Streamside
Setback Guidelines map. Triton Environmental Consultants also noted an ephemeral perimeter ditch
that is not classified in the City’s online mapping.
The applicant proposes to provide the required 10 m setback along the North Alouette River, as well
as infilling the perimeter ditch and the portion of Cattell Brook on the subject properties. The City’s
Streamside Protection Regulation of 15 m setbacks for Cattell Brook was used in determining the
required amount of environmental compensation required. To mitigate for infilling the perimeter
ditch and Cattell Brook, the applicant is proposing to create four bio-ponds, ranging in size between
22 m2 and 287 m2; and a series of connecting channels approximately one metre in width, as well as
surrounding riparian areas with a total area of 2,317 m2. Additionally, roadside bioswales will
complement the connecting channel and add 1,310 m2 of compensation area.
5) Wildfire Development Permit Implications:
The subject properties are located within the Wildfire Development Permit area, therefore the
applicant has provided a Wildfire Hazard Mitigation Report prepared by Diamond Head Consulting.
The report recommends treatment within the 10 m setback distance of the North Alouette top of
bank. Treatment includes removal of select trees to break up horizontal fuel continuity and remove
ladder fuels from the lower canopy. All dead and dying trees should be removed, and trees thinned
to a target stand density of 200-400 stems per hectare and crown closure between 20-40% overall.
This treatment will ensure a fuel free buffer between homes on lots 55-62 and the forest edge.
The report further recommends restricting the planting of conifers within 10 m of any proposed
structure, using fire resistant building materials, and limiting the use of wood and vinyl. The Wildfire
Hazard Mitigation requirements for this development will be the subject of a future report to Council.
- 14 -
6) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has reviewed the development application and has advised that all
required off-site services do not exist; therefore, a Rezoning Servicing Agreement is necessary prior
to final reading. Furthermore, the Engineering Department has a dvised that road dedication along
Silver Valley Road to achieve a 20 m ( 66 ft) road allowance will be required prior to final reading.
Additional road dedication is also required at the intersection of Silver Valley Road and 232 Street.
ii) Operations Department:
The Operations Department has noted that the bioswales, connective channels, and bio-ponds are
beyond the regular maintenance level for roads; therefore, a Local Area Service Bylaw is required
prior to subdivision approval to ensure an ongoing maintenance budget is established for
stormwater management bioswales and bio-ponds both within the road right-of-way and within the
park boundary.
iii) Parks & Leisure Services Department:
As the subject properties include a portion of land designated Neighbourhood Park, staff from the
Parks and Leisure Services Department and the Manager of Property and Risk Management will be
in discussion with the applicant to purchase a portion of the subject properties for neighbourhood
park purposes prior to final reading.
The applicant has provided a proposed plan of subdivision indicating the amount of land for a future
neighbourhood park. Prior to final reading, an appraiser will need to determine fair market value for
the park land. The Manager of Properties and Risk Management will bring a separate report to
Council to consider acquisition of the property for park purposes once a value has been determined
and appropriate funding is available.
The Parks and Leisure Services Department has noted that the bio pond and connecting channel
adjacent to the neighbourhood park must be included in a Local Area Service Bylaw for ongoing
maintenance.
iv) Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department:
The Licenses, Permits, and Bylaws Department has reviewed the development application and has
noted that a restrictive covenant for geotechnical purposes is required along the back of lots 55-62.
No portions of the principal building can be located within this restrictive covenant area within the
rear yard.
v) Fire Department:
In addition to the Wildfire Development Permit review, the Fire Department has also commented that
temporary statutory right-of-ways are required along the southern property line to allow for
emergency vehicle turn around until the ultimate road pattern is realized.
- 15 -
7) School District No. 42 Comments:
Pursuant to Section 881 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is
required at the time of preparing or amending the OCP. A referral was sent to School District No. 42
on November 21, 2014. The School District has noted that the subject properties fall within the
Yennadon Elementary and Garibaldi Secondary school catchments. For the 2014-15 school year,
Yennadon Elementary is at 103% utilization, which includes 133 out-of-catchment students.
Although Yennadon Elementary is fully utilized, Harry Hooge and Alouette elementary schools in the
central Maple Ridge area can accommodate the student population from the proposed development.
Harry Hooge Elementary school is below the walk limit of 4 – 4.8 km, while Alouette Elementary is at
the high end of the walk limit.
In terms of secondary school enrollment capacity, for the 2014-2015 school year, the student
enrolment at Garibaldi Secondary is at 63% utilization, including 290 out-of-catchment students.
Therefore, there is available secondary school capacity for the proposed development.
8) Intergovernmental Issues:
i) Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP 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 Local
Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to adjust the existing land use
boundaries, 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.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
9) Alternatives:
The proposed development plan includes a higher amount of commercial floor space than outlined
for the Blaney Hamlet in the Silver Valley Area Plan. Council has two alternatives in considering this
text amendment:
Rental Housing:
Recent developments in the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) and C-2 (Community Commercial)
zones have included larger second floors and more residential units than permitted in the Zoning
Bylaw, in exchange for securing the residential units as rental units in perpetuity. These units have
been secured as rental tenancy through a Housing Agreement under Section 905 of the Local
Government Act. As an alternative to the single use commercial building, Council could require the
applicant to add a residential component to the commercial building, with the provision that these
units be secured as rental stock in exchange for the additional commercial floor space OCP text
amendment.
- 16 -
Commercial Daycare:
The Silver Valley Area Plan also contains the following policies to support community amenities, such
as a daycare, in the centre of the Silver Valley hamlets:
4.9 Community amenities are integrated at the centre of each hamlet
5.3.3 ii) Hamlets should contain a civic area comprised of a park, school and community facility,
such as a daycare. Hamlets should also include a small commercial area limited to retail
floor space of 90-140 m2.
Council could also require the applicant to consider the licensing needs of a childcare facility in the
site design of the commercial building, such as the provision of outdoor play space, and parking
requirements. Retrofitting an existing commercial building for such a daycare use is problematic, if
not prohibitive.
Should Council indicate that they wish to pursue one or both of the alternatives outlined above, the
applicant will need to confirm with staff if accommodating these changes impact the OCP land use or
zoning boundaries. Any changes to the OCP or zoning boundaries will need to be made prior to
Council consideration on September 8, 2015. Revisions to the building and site design would be
reflected in the final Commercial Development Permit report to Council.
10) Implications:
The implications for requiring rental housing units above the commercial use is that the design of the
building will change, the number of required parking spaces will increase, and the developer will be
required to enter into a Housing Agreement prior to approval.
The implications for securing a daycare are that the number of required parking spaces will increase,
and the applicant will need to change the site plan to accommodate an outdoor play space. This
may require enlarging the commercial property.
CONCLUSION:
The subject rezoning application will permit a future subdivision of approximately 51 single family
lots, 17 street townhouse lots, one commercial lot, and a future neighbourhood park. As a result of
ground-truthing to establish the developable area, an OCP amendment is required to revise the
boundaries of the land use designations and equestrian trail location to fit the topography and
desired road network. The Low/Medium Density Residential designation will be expanded through
the amendment proposal to allow the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone. It is important to note that the density of the subject properties as a whole will not
exceed the density outlined in the Silver Valley Area Plan. An OCP text amendment is also required to
the Silver Valley Area Plan to allow a greater amount of commercial floor space in the Blaney Hamlet.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7123-2014
11716 Burnett Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 11716 Burnett Street
from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit a future subdivision
of approximately three (3) Single Family lots. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw
No. 7123-2014 on February 2, 2015.
This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7123-2014 be given second reading, and be
forwarded to Public Hearing;
2)That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Stormwater Management Plan;
ii)Removal of existing building/s (through demolition permit);
iii)If the Director of Waste Management from the Ministry of Environment determines that a
site investigation is required based on the submitted Site Profile, a rezoning, development,
or development variance permit cannot be approved until a release is obtained for the
subject property;
iv)In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional
Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks on the

Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Site Area: 0.149 HA. (0.37 acres)
Access: 117 Ave
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2) Background:
This site was the subject of a rezoning and subdivision application in 2010 (RZ/074/10 and
SD/074/10) which expired before it was completed. This proposal is identical to the earlier
application.
3) Project Description:
The application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One-Family Urban Residential) to
R-1 (Residential District), to permit future subdivision into three (3) Single Family lots. All driveway
access is proposed to be off 117 Avenue.
The subject property is approximately 1,490 m2 (0.37 acres/16,038 sq.ft.) in size, is generally flat,
and is bound by single family properties to the north, east and south, and a commercial property to
the west (Pioneer Motor Group, and Mr. Quick Lube) (see Appendix A).
One Oak tree is to be retained on site and must have tree protection fencing installed around the
dripline of the tree before any construction begins. Furthermore two European Holly trees are to be
- 3 -
retained, as stated in the Tree Preservation report from Goode Arboriculture Consulting, dated March
11, 2015. As a condition for subdivision, the Tree Preservation report will need to be covenanted to
ensure the protection and preservation of these trees on the site.
4) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan (OCP):
The development site is designated Urban Residential – Neighbourhood Residential . This
designation allows for single detached dwellings and other housing forms, subject to the
Neighbourhood Residential Infill policies. The rezoning and subdivision of this property into three
Single Family lots and use of the R-1 (Residential District) zone is in compliance with the OCP (see
Appendix B).
II) ZONING BYLAW:
The application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to
R-1 (Residential District) to permit future subdivision into three (3) Single Family lots with a minimum
area of 466 m2.
The adjacent properties are zoned RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and CS-1 (Service
Commercial). The property to the north (11736 Burnett Street) is in the process of rezoning to R-1
Residential District), plus the block of houses to the east on 117 Avenue are all R-1 (Residential
District) zoned, making the proposed zone consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood.
The minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is 371 m2. Proposed lot sizes
for the application are between 466 m2 and 472 m2.. The proposed widths of the lots are
approximately 16 metres, which complies with the minimum lot width in this zone of 12 metres.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application.
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application (2014-110-VP) has been received for this project and
involves the following relaxation:
Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800 -1993, Section IV,
E. Highway Right-of-way requirements, as set out in Schedule “B”.
The requested variance to support the Burnett Street road right-of-way of less than the Collector
standard of 20 metres will be the subject of a future Council report. The application will be
supportable as the carriageway on Burnett Street is already constructed to a Collector standard
within a 16 metres wide road right-of-way.
iv) PARKLAND REQUIREMENT:
With fewer than three (3) additional lots to be created, the developer will not be required to dedicate
park, as required under Section 941 of the Local Government Act as part of subdivision approval.
v) Environmental Requirement:
As stated in the Tree Preservation report from Goode Arboriculture Consulting, dated March 11,
2015, one Oak tree plus two European Holly trees are to be retained on site and must have tree
protection fencing installed around the dripline of the tree before any construction begins. The Tree
Preservation report is to be covenanted as a condition of rezoning.
- 4 -
5) Interdepartmental Comments/Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
There are no services required in support of this rezoning application. All deficient services will be
provided for at subdivision.
ii) License, Permits and Bylaws Department:
A Geotechnical report will be required at the Building Permit stage. The design engineer needs to
ensure the minimum 7.5m clearance from intersections for driveways is maintained for the corner
lot.
6) School District No. 42 Comments:
Pursuant to Section 881 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is
required only at the time of preparing or amending the OCP, therefore a referral was not sent to
School District No. 42. The property is in the school catchment area of Golden Ears Elementary and
Thomas Haney Secondary. According the Strategic Facilities Review 2014/15 Maple Ridge – Pitt
Meadows School District No. 42, Golden Ears Elementary has a capacity of 526 students and a
2013 enrolment of 442 students. Thomas Haney Secondary has a capacity of 1,200 students and a
2014 enrolment of approximately 1,010 students.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7123-
2014, and that application 2014-110-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
10150 and 10190 Jackson Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2011-082-DVP has been received in conjunction with
rezoning and subdivision applications 2011-082-RZ, 2014-114-SD, and 2014-115-SD to permit a
45 single family lot subdivision over four phases. The requested variances are to:
1.Increase the maximum permitted R-1 (Residential District) zone building height from 9m
(29.5 ft) to 11m (36 ft) (RS-1b portion is excluded); and
2.Reduce the R-1 (Residential District) zone rear yard setback from 8m (26 ft) to 6m (19.7 ft)
for lots 29-39.
Final reading for rezoning application 2011-082-RZ was granted on July 28, 2015. It is
recommended that Development Variance Permit 2011-082-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal application 2011-082-DVP respecting
property located at 10150 and 10190 Jackson Road.

b) Project Description:
The subject properties have recently been rezoned to allow for future subdivision into 45 R-1
(Residential District) lots over four phases, as well as 10 additional lots when surrounding lands are
consolidated. The first two phases of subdivision have been approved, creating 11 single family lots.
A very small portion of the north east corner of the site is zoned RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential), which will be consolidated with lands to the east under a future application.
The final two phases of subdivision are under a ‘No Build’ Restrictive Covenant, meaning that no
construction or development can occur on that portion of the property. Dedication of the central
portion of the subject property for park purposes will take place as a condition of the third phase of
subdivision.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process. The requested variances and rationale for support are described below.
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985, Part 6, Section 601, 11 (b) to increase the
maximum permitted height from 9 m (29.5 ft) to 11 m (36 ft) for all R-1 (Residential District)
zoned lots.
The maximum height varies from one single family residential zone to the next in the current zoning
bylaw, ranging between 9 m (29.5 ft) and 11 m (36 ft). The proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone
currently has the lowest height allowable in the single family zone range. The increase in height will
reflect the current typical single family home construction of steeper roof pitches, higher ceilings,
and taller homes on smaller lots; and will alleviate the need to artificially manipulate the grades at
the building corners (see Appendix C). The draft Zoning Bylaw includes an increase to building
height for several zones, including the R-1 (Residential District) zone to reflect changes in residential
- 3 -
design trends. The requested height increase will not result in additional storeys. Should the draft
Zoning Bylaw be approved prior to completion of this project, this variance will be redundant . For
this reason, the variance is supportable.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 601, C. 11 (c) (ii), to reduce the
rear yard setback from 8 m (26 ft) to 6 m (19.7 ft) for lots 29-39.
The draft Zoning Bylaw includes a change to reduce the rear yard setback for the R -1 (Residential
District) from 8 m (26 ft) to 6 m (19.7 ft). Therefore, the applicant has included this variance request
in their application for lots 29-39. The reduced rear yard setback will make it easier to satisfy the
minimum building envelope of 8 m x 12 m on a minimum sized R-1 (Residential District) lot (see
Appendix D). As lots 29-39 are accessed via a rear lane, the reduced yard setback impacts the lane
rather than a row of backyards. Should the draft Zoning Bylaw be approved prior to completion of
this project, this variance will be redundant. Therefore, this variance is supportable.
d) Citizen Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances to the R-1 (Residential District) zone are supported because they are
reflected in the draft Zoning Bylaw. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably
considered, and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit
2011-082-DVP.

b) Project Description:
The subject application proposes to rezone the properties located at 22577, 22569, and 22557
Royal Crescent and 11771 226 Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium
Density Apartment Residential) to permit construction of a five storey 48 unit apartment building.
Parking will be accessed via the existing lane on the northern side of the subject properties. The unit
size ranges in size from 89 – 139 m2 (962 – 1,497ft2). The majority of the dwelling units will have
two bedrooms and a den, while 10 units will have two bedrooms.
An indoor amenity room is provided on the ground floor, and a children’s play area is located in the
north-east corner of the property. In addition to the outdoor play structure, the project Landscape
Architect has incorporated seating within the landscape areas for residents to sit and enjoy the
gardens on site. First floor units are designed to be ground-oriented, with outside locking doors that
provide direct access to the street.
The building materials will include brick veneer at the lower levels, cement panel cladding on the
higher storeys, and vertical wood beams to tie the two materials in visually. The design character of
this development will inform future projects in the neighbourhood.
c) Requested Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project, and involves the
following relaxations:
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 6.3.a), To reduce the
front yard setback from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 3.35 m (11 ft) to the furthest column extent and
3.6 m (11.8 ft) to the building face with no further siting exceptions;
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 6.3.a), to reduce the
interior yard setback on the lane from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 5.0 m (16.4 ft) to the furthest
column extent and 5.9 m (19.4 ft) to the building face with no further siting exceptions;
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 7, to increase the
maximum height from 15 m (49.2 ft) to 16.58 m (54.4 ft) and from 4 to 5 storeys.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject properties are designated Low-Rise Apartment in the South of Lougheed Precinct, and
are subject to the policies of 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 Development Permit
Guidelines note that residential land use form and design should accommodate ground -oriented
units with direct entrances and connection to the sidewalk. In addition, ground-oriented units
provide for a pedestrian-oriented sidewalk, and are desirable for families and accessibility. The
proposed development and the application for RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zoning
are consistent with this designation.
In accordance with Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit is required for all
new development in the Town Centre. The guidelines for a South of Lougheed Town Centre
- 4 -
Development Permit as outlined in the OCP are listed below and the proposed development is in
compliance with these guidelines described as follows:
1. Develop a diverse shopping, employment and residential district.
The proposed higher density infill development will enhance the South of Lougheed (SOLO)
residential district adjacent to the shopping and employment uses on Lougheed Highway by
providing an opportunity for a mixed demographic.
2. Create pedestrian-oriented streetscapes.
The proposed project enhances the pedestrian realm with strong visual orientation from
within the building and permeable visibility through landscaping to the street. Ground floor
units have individual locking doors to access the sidewalk conveniently. A pedestrian
walkway on the property encourages pedestrian circulation to individual units and outdoor
activity spaces.
3. Enhance the quality, character and vibrancy of SOLO.
The proposed project is designed to bring new vitality to the area with an increase in the
number of residents and establish a precedent for future development.
4. Maintain cohesive building styles.
The proposed building is consistent with similar scale buildings to the south, and will help
shape a precedent for future development.
5. Capitalize on important views.
The east/west longitudinal orientation of the proposed building allows for maximizing the
number of units at the upper levels to maximize views north for mountain views and south
for river views, while not affecting existing adjacent buildings’ views.
6. Provide public outdoor space.
Given the residential nature of the proposed development, provided outdoor space is private.
A children’s play area, seating, and landscaping are provided on the proposed development
to provide residents with outdoor amenity space for recreation and interaction.
7. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features.
The internal climate will be moderated to a degree at lower levels through shade and wind
permeability of plant materials. Internal climate at the underground parking level is
proposed to be moderated by landscaping over parking structure.
8. Maintain street interconnectivity.
Access to the underground parking facility is from the rear lane to maintain a continuous
sidewalk along Royal Crescent. Locking gates at various points on the property allow
residents to enter and exit the development at different locations.
- 5 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for buildings and
structures. The Zoning Bylaw permits eaves and other projections to encroach up to 1.25 metres (4
ft.) into a front yard setback and 0.61 metres (2 ft.) into an interior yard setback. The setback
variances requested will be the maximum encroachments permitted, and no exemptions are allowed
due to the setback relaxations. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the
approval process. The applicant has requested variances to the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw, as
outlined below:
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 6.3.a), To reduce the front
yard setback from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 3.35 m (11 ft) to the furthest column extent and 3.6 m
(11.8 ft) to the building face with no further siting exceptions;
This variance is required due to the irregular shape of the development site. The front
property line is curved, and the apartment building is stepped to follow this curvature.
However, some columns and balconies project beyond the building face. The reduced front
yard setback brings the building closer to the Royal Crescent street frontage to create a
stronger connection to the sidewalk. This variance is justified in order to ensure varying
architectural projections on the front face of the building.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 6.3.a), to reduce the interior
yard setback on the lane from 7.5 m (24.6 ft) to 5.0 m (16.4 ft) to the furthest column
extent and 5.9 m (19.4 ft) to the building face with no further siting exceptions;
The proposed apartment building has been designed to maximize the development site while
complying with lot coverage provisions, and as a result the building has been moved closer to
the lane frontage. Although the building setback is reduced along this property line, a
landscaped outdoor space and a pedestrian walkway are provided to create an attractive
and functional activity space for residents. It is noted that no setback variance is requested
along the property line common to an adjacent apartment building to reduce the impact of
the new development on existing buildings. This variance is justified to achieve the depth of
the building and the size of the units.
3. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 604, 7, to increase the maximum
height from 15 m (49.2 ft) to 16.58 m (54.4 ft) and from 4 to 5 storeys
This variance request aligns with the RM-2 (Low Rise Apartment) zone in the draft Zoning
Bylaw, which will allow a minimum height of 11 m (36 ft) and a maximum height of 18 m (59
ft) outside of the Port Haney and Fraser River Waterfront Area. The increase in height from 4
to 5 storeys also aligns with the Low Rise Apartment policies in the Town Centre Area Plan,
which speak to a range of building height between 3 and 5 storeys. This variance is justified
because it aligns with an existing OCP policy and the draft Zoning Bylaw.
Under the accompanying rezoning application, a site specific text amendment to change the
existing Floor Space Ratio (FSR) for the RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zone
from 1.8 FSR to a maximum of 1.89 FSR will be considered for final reading on September 8,
2015. Density is not a zoning provision that can be varied through a Development Variance
Permit application, and therefore requires a text amendment. The additional height,
combined with the density increase, will support further densification in the Town Centre.

e) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel reviewed the form and character of the proposed apartment building
development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held September 11, 2012. Following
presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the Advisory Design Panel made the
following resolution that:
The following concerns be addressed and digital versions of revised drawings and memo be
submitted to Planning staff; and further that Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory Design
Panel for information.
Consider providing day light to the living room of unit B5 (SW corner).
Additional daylighting provided at Unit Type B5 with addition of high windows at south
east corner of living room.
Consider the use, colour and organization of materials and details.
Upper level cladding material has been revised from horizontal siding to cementitious
cladding panels to provide a more uniform finish appearance and address concerns
regarding envelope detailing. Horizontal and vertical batten colour revised to match
cladding colour. Finish of timber at columns and fascias has been revised to a grey solid
stain for ease of maintenance and to better complement York Harbour Yellow proposed
to be retained as cladding colour.
Consider simplifying the roof line.
Pitched roof at east exit stair removed to simplify roof line.
Provide a drop in the slab outside the building to accommodate proper planting depth.
Parkade level and upper slab have been lowered by 6’’ to allow for greater soil depth and
alleviate need for high retaining at edge of ground floor unit patios at interface between
pavers and soft landscaping. A gravel swale is placed adjacent to the building to keep
soils away from wood framing – minimum 18” of soil depth is typically provided over the
garage slab.
Consider changing the river rock area at the ramp to a planted area (green).
Planting provided at east side of access ramp to parkade.
Consider providing a lattice or trellis screen to the ramp.
Trellis provided over ramp to parkade, lattice added at west edge of patio at unit B2
adjacent to access ramp.
Consider matching the colour of the battens to the siding.
Colour of battens has been revised to match cladding colour.
- 7 -
Consider the use of panel siding as opposed to beveled siding.
Beveled siding has been replaced with cementitious cladding panels.
Consider the use of brick or concrete (instead of stone) on the landscape wall.
Perimeter walls and interior walls at main entry revised from river rock to brick to match
building. Stone has been removed and replaced with architectural concrete. Extensive
planting will and the bicycle racks will obscure the walls.
Consider matching the design of the landscape fence with balcony railings.
Landscape rail at fence retained with horizontal rails and vertical pickets at 4’’ on
center. In principal design concept matches that of railings at building face. Vertical
pickets will be retained for safety.
Consider the design of the lobby elevation to create more of a residential feeling.
Lobby canopy has been re-designed to timber construction with sloped roof to match
upper roofs. Use of timber columns in lieu of brick creates greater visual openness at
main entry area.

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. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $4,528.41, the security will be $4,528.41.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal complies with the South of Lougheed Town Centre Development Permit
Area Guidelines of the OCP for form and character. Furthermore, the requested variances are
supportable, as the setback variances are considered to improve the overall development by
creating a strong connection to the street; whereas the height variance aligns with the draft Zoning
Bylaw. It is therefore recommended that 2012-047-DVP and 2012-047-DP be given favourable
consideration and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal the Development
Variance Permit and Development Permit.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW
SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
23980 Kanaka Way
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application (2015-158-DVP) has been received in conjunction with a
Zoning Amending Bylaw No. 7155-2015 for a text amending application (2015-158-RZ) to add a
Child Care Centre (Daycare) as a site specific permitted use in the C-1 Neighbourhood Commercial
Zone. This would accommodate the proposed child care centre to be operated by Imagination
Station in a portion of the zoned and nearly completed commercial building. There would be 12
infant toddlers, 16 children ages 3-5 and 20 preschool or out of school children for a total capacity
of 48 children.
The requested variance(s) are to:
1.Reduce the parking requirement for the Child Care Centre from 1 space per 20 square
meters to 1 space per 33 square metres of floor space; and
2.Reduce the parking requirement for Commercial uses from 1 space per 30 square meters to
1 space per 33 square metres of floor space.
These variances can be considered by Council following the adoption of Bylaw No. 7155-2015
scheduled for September 8, 2015.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2015-158-DVP respecting property located
at 23980 Kanaka Way.

b) Description and Analysis:
The subject property contains a two storey mixed use building totaling approximately 702 square
metres (7,560 square feet). The ground level is to contain the proposed 289 square metre (3,111
square foot) child care facility and the remaining area (158 square metres or 1,700 square feet) will
be a retail use permitted in the C-1 Neighbourhood Commercial zone. The second floor contains two
rental apartments secured by way of a Rental Housing Agreement.
This is an application for a parking variance to accommodate a Child Care Centre (daycare) for 12
infant toddlers, 16 children ages 3-5 and 20 preschool or out of school children for a total capacity
of 48 children. The parking requirement for a daycare is about 1/3 higher than for retail uses
(1 space per 20 square metres versus 1 space per 30 square metres of floor space). Therefore, the
portion of the building changing from retail to daycare will need more parking under the Bylaw.
The variance is to allow the subject building nearing completion on a recently rezoned property to
accommodate this use. The open space on the property needs to be enlarged for a more suitable
play area associated with the child care centre. Consequently, the parking area is to be re-designed
and the numbers of parking spaces adjusted. The number of parking spaces for the two rental
residential dwelling use on the second floor are unchanged (four spaces plus one visitor space). They
are relocated to better manage traffic flows and parking on the site.
- 3 -
The site plan and site landscaping shown in Appendix B and Appendix C reflect the parking layout
and play area changes. Being a minor change, the Director of Planning has authority delegated by
Council under the Maple Ridge Development Permit Bylaw No. 6478-2007 to consider approving a
necessary minor amendment to development permit 2012-021-DP once the variance is granted.
This will be done under application 2015-158-DP.
The requested variances are as follows:
1. Maple Ridge Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No 4350 -1990, Schedule “A” is varied
as follows: 2.0 Commercial Uses a) Retail or personal services Commercial use in the C-1,
C-2, C-3 C-5 and H-1 Zone is reduced from 1 per 30 m2 gross floor area to 1 per 33 m2
gross floor area.
2. Maple Ridge Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No 4350 -1990, Schedule “A” is varied
as follows: 4.0 Assembly for a Child Care Centre is reduced from 1 per 20 m2 gross floor
area to 1 per 33 m2 gross floor area.
The applicant retained a transportation consultant (Howes Technical Advantage) to assess the
parking requirements and to make recommendations for traffic flow, drop off arrangements and
parking needs for the proposed daycare. The two reports submitted to the City are attached as
Appendix D and E.
The assessment includes the experience and drop-off/pick-up patterns at other child care centres as
well as the operation practices by the applicant (Imagination Station) at their two other location. The
assessment supports and justifies the reduction in parking being sought based on the following
factors:
Peak periods are spread out: A review of the drop-offs and pick-ups using 15 minute time
increments reveals the peak periods in the morning and more so in the evening are spread
out and staggered. Therefore, the number of parking spaces provided will be adequate to
accommodate the number of car trips expected during the largest peak. That peak is a ¼
hour drop-off period in the morning.
Alternative travel modes available: Not all parents will be taking their children by car. About
10% of the families using the daycare will be walk-ins from the emerging nearby
neighborhoods and a further 10% will be families with more than one child in a car at a time.
Being at an intersection of major roads, bus stops are close by and transit may be another
alternative as service levels improve.
Peak period supervised parking: There will be 6 stalls set aside for drop-offs or pick-ups only,
with staff assisting parents with children to keep the drop-off time to no longer than 10
minutes.
Spill over: The visitor parking space would allow for one additional space, if necessary.
Queuing: The drive aisle from the 240 Street driveway will hold up to 6 cars approaching the
drop-off spaces.
On street-parking is not available immediately in front of the property because the intersection of
Kanaka Way/112 Avenue and 240 Street has (or will have) full left turn lanes. On street parking
located further west on Kanaka Way or south on 240 Street is another alternative within walking
distance, but is not encouraged to avoid daycare trips from impacting rowhouse buildings. No
parking will take place on the lanes and may be signed accordingly if necessary.
- 4 -
Building and Engineering have reviewed and accept the rationale upon which the design of the
parking area and the number of parking spaces provided were determined by the applicant’s
consultant.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed parking variance is supportable given the need for daycare in the community and due
to the careful design and operational measures identified by the applicant’s consultation that the
operator is prepared to incorporate into the day to day functioning of the proposed child care centre.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2015-158-DVP.

b) Project Description:
The subject site is located in Silver Valley at the southeast corner of 236 Street and 133 Avenue
(Appendix A). Final approval of rezoning application 2013-082-RZ was granted on July 28, 2015
to rezone the site to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and included a site specific text amendment
to increase the density from 0.6 FSR to 0.64 FSR.
The development proposal consists of 61 townhouse units in 17 buildings and a large central
greenspace (Appendix B). A row of 6 two-unit buildings are located on the 133 Avenue (north)
frontage with two storey elevations facing the existing single family homes on the north side of the
street and three storeys at the strata road to the rear. The four buildings fronting on 236 Street
(west) are a combination of four and five unit buildings which step down the site to follow the
topography.
- 3 -
All the street-facing homes incorporate front doors, entrance stairs with canopies, and front
gardens with a walkway and entry gate. The internal buildings are organized around a generous
landscaped common area incorporating play spaces for children, landscaped gardens, sitting
banks and a large grass open space (Appendix C). Every second row of buildings is set into the
slope to provide a two storey home on the north side and a three storey home on the south.
Main access to the site is from 236 Street in the southwest corner and an emergency access is
provided on 236 Street near the northwest corner. Walkways are provided through the site and
along the south and east sides.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for residential
development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process.
The requested variances and the developer’s rationale for the variances are described below:
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 7. Size of Buildings and
Structures, a): To vary the maximum building height on all the buildings from 10.5 metres
and 2 ½ storeys to 11.5 metres for fifteen of the buildings and to 11.75 metres for Buildings
3-3 and 4-1.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Section 403, 8. Maximum Retaining Wall Height:
To vary the maximum retaining wall height for fifteen of the forty-four walls on the site from
1.2 metres to 1.3 to 2.9 metres.
3. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 6. Siting, a): To vary the
minimum setbacks for twelve of the buildings on the site:

To vary the maximum building height on all the buildings from 10.5 metres and 2 ½ storeys to 11.5
metres for fifteen of the buildings and to 11.75 metres for Buildings 3-3 and 4-1. The buildings are
all three storey facades (some two storey facades on the higher side) with a mix of 4:12 main roof
pitches and 8:12 gable roof pitches. The site slopes at approximately 10-12%. As such, it is not
possible to have all the buildings meet the 10.5 metre height limitation. Attached as Appendix D are
- 4 -
building elevation plans for some of the buildings, including Building 4-1 which is the tallest building
on the site.
Retaining Walls:
To vary the maximum retaining wall height for fifteen of the forty-four walls on the site from 1.2
metres to 1.3 to 2.9 metres. One of the goals for the project was to provide a sizable and useable
outdoor amenity space. To accomplish this, a central space was designed as a mainly level lawn
with a slope on one side. However, on a site with this topography, grades were increased elsewhere
to allow for this central level area.
Another goal for the project was to present two storey facades on the north side of the s ite. The
landscape grading is carefully coordinated with the architectural design to accommodate this design
component. This has created areas where the retaining walls are over 1.2 metres (4 feet) in height,
but these are typically limited in length and in location.
Thirdly, the site grading and retaining walls allow for many of the stormwater management elements
to function. There are several stormwater swales on the site and these require a reasonable amount
of level space to establish a functional section. This has resulted in increased wall heights but the
benefits are worthwhile, such as the swale along the south property line which would not be possible
otherwise.
The topography of the site has a significant slope at 10-12%, which would require retaining for
almost any style of site development. While the walls have been minimized, their scale is balanced
with proper setbacks from street edges and maintaining livable yard spaces. Efforts have been
made to plant in front of taller walls which will reduce the visual height of the walls. Some of the
higher walls are short stretches between buildings that will rarely be visible, such as the walls
between the buildings fronting on 133 Avenue at the visitor parking space locations. The Retaining
Wall plan L1.3 identifies the walls by number and is attached as Appendix D along with wall cross
sections. Retaining walls requiring a variance are numbered 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 15, 17, 20, 21, 23,
25, 29, 31B, and 44 on the Retaining Wall plan attached as Appendix E.
Setbacks:
To vary the minimum setbacks for twelve of the buildings on the site. The proposed 5.5 metre
setback to the buildings on the north and west sides is adequate to accommodate the outdoor
usable space and provide more liveliness to the public realm experience on 133 Avenue. The
additional encroachment of the entry to the corner building (Building 1-4) at the intersection of 133
Avenue and 236 Street adds a degree of architectural enrichment to the corner. The encroachment
of Building 6-2 into the rear (south) setback at the southwest corner will incorporate a decorative
and enriched end elevation. The encroachment of Building 3-2 into the interior (east) side setback is
for the end of the building with no major outlook facing the east property line. Attached as Appendix
F are a site plan and details of the setback variances.
d) Citizen Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances are supported because the architect and landscape architect have carefully
designed the development to provide three storey homes on a sloping site while achieving the three
goals of providing a two storey elevation to the homes north of the site and a large open greenspace
on the site and providing a functional stormwater management system appropriate for the site.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2013-082-DVP.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit application has been received in conjunction with
application 2013-082-RZ to zone the site to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to develop a 61 unit
townhouse project on the property at 13260 236 Street (Appendix A). Final approval of rezoning
application 2013-082-RZ was granted by Council on July 28, 2015 to zone the property to RM-1
(Townhouse Residential). The rezoning approval included a site specific text amendment to increase
the density from 0.6 FSR to 0.64 FSR and the provision of a sidewalk on 236 Street from 133
Avenue to Fern Crescent to be constructed by the developer. Variance Permit application 2013-082-
VP requesting variances to the building height, building setbacks and retaining wall height is the
subject of a separate report to Council.
This application is subject to the Multi-Family Development Permit Area Guidelines, which establish
the form and character of multi-family development, with the intent to enhance the existing
neighbourhood with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs and minimize potential
conflicts on neighbouring land uses, as outlined in Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan (OCP).
On September 24, 2013 Council considered but did not grant first reading for Maple Ridge Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7037-2013, which included a site specific text amendment to increase the
density from 0.6 FSR to 0.67 FSR. Staff was directed to prepare the Zone Amending Bylaw subject
to the applicant providing an amenity sidewalk as a condition of final reading.
On December 10, 2013 Council reconsidered and then granted first reading for Maple Ridge Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7037-2013 including the proposed sidewalk construction on 132 Street from
133 Avenue to Fern Crescent.
On April 22, 2014 Council granted second reading. The application was presented at Public Hearing
on May 20, 2014 and Council granted third reading on May 27, 2014. Council granted a first
extension on May 26, 2015, and final approval on July 28, 2015.

b) Project Description:
The subject site is located in Silver Valley at the southeast corner of 236 Street and 133 Avenue
(Appendix A). Final approval of rezoning application 2013-082-RZ was granted on July 28, 2015 to
rezone the site to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and included a site specific text amendment to
increase the density from 0.6 FSR to 0.64 FSR.
The development proposal consists of 61 townhouse units in 17 buildings and a large central
greenspace (Appendix B). A row of 6 two unit buildings are located on the 133 Avenue (north)
frontage with two storey elevations facing the existing single family homes on the north side of the
street and three storeys at the strata road to the rear. The four buildings fronting on 236 Street
(west) are narrower units with the appearance of street townhouses in a combination of four and five
unit buildings which step down the site to follow the topography. A Streetscape drawing is attached
as Appendix C.
- 3 -
All the homes fronting a street incorporate front doors, entrance stairs with canopies, and front
gardens with a walkway and entry gate. The internal buildings are organized around a generous
landscaped common amenity area incorporating natural play spaces for children, landscaped
gardens, sitting banks and a large grass open space. See the Landscape Plans and details attached
as Appendix D. Every second row of buildings is set into the slope to provide a two storey home on
the north side and a three storey home on the south.
The building designs include an eclectic mix of gable dormers, hipped dormers, bay windows, wood
columns and struts, some larger cantilevered roofs and flat roof entries. The visible ends of the
buildings incorporate a wider and more articulated face and roof elements that enrich the
architectural character and massing. The Building Elevation plans are attached as Appendix E along
with a list of the building colours and materials attached as Appendix F.
Main access to the site is from 236 Street near the southwest corner and an emergency access is
provided on 236 Street near the northwest corner. Walkways are provided through the site and
along the south and east edges.
The project is configured to provide affordability through smaller footprints, 3-storey dwellings and
lower overall square footages. The unit mix is approximately 40% 2-bedroom and 60% 3-bedroom
and range in area from approximately 118m² to 149m² (1270 ft² to 1600 ft²). The total floor space
is 7808.75m² (84,053 ft²) which is an FSR of 0.64, as permitted by the text amendment approved
with the rezoning application.
The project incorporates a total of 153 parking spaces, including 122 resident spaces and 13 visitor
spaces. Additionally 18 spaces have been provided on driveway aprons. Approximately 30% of the
required parking spaces are side by side and 70% are tandem spaces. Most of the tandem parking
is provided as 1 interior and 1 exterior space.
c) Planning Analysis:
The subject property is designated Med/High Density Residential in the Official Community Plan
(OCP). The RM-1 zone is consistent with this land use designation. Final approval of rezoning
application 2013-082-RZ was granted by Council on July 28, 2015 to zone the property to RM-1
(Townhouse Residential), and included a site specific text amendment to increase the density from
0.6 FSR to 0.67 FSR and the provision of a sidewalk on 236 Street from 133 Avenue to Fern
Crescent to be constructed by the developer.
A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit is required for all new Multi-Family development in an
area with an Area Plan and this project is located within the Silver Valley Area Plan. Section 8.7,
Multi-Family Development Permit Area Guidelines of the OCP aims to regulate the form and
character of development located within this area. This development respects the key guideline
concepts as outlined in this section:
1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate local
neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing.
This development is located in an area that is in transition. The development proposal for this
site respects the existing small single family dwellings to the north by providing two storey
elevations on that frontage. On the east is a similar townhouse development currently under
construction. Across from the northwest corner is a small cluster of new Street Townhouses at
- 4 -
Larch Avenue and 236 Street. The land to the south and west are currently rural residences but
are designated for similar type of townhouse development.
2. Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through
means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the
periphery of a higher density developments.
Consideration has been given to the transition from the single family housing on the north side of
133 Avenue by proposing duplex buildings with a two storey elevations each with its own front
entry and landscaped garden with a walkway and gate to the street. The form of the buildings
has more traditional pitched roofs, with both gabled and hipped roofs, giving the appearance of a
single family house. The buildings fronting on 236 Street incorporate narrower units and are
expressed more as a street townhouse concept stepping incrementally down the hill.
3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a
sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness.
The townhouse development is proposed as a community comprised of 61 units in 17 buildings
with an internal road network and a large central greenspace. The buildings are designed and
located to best suit the sloping topography of the site.
4. Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through
landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground
where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface parking
located to the rear of the property.
Internal walkways will be provided along the south and east sides of the site, around the
perimeter of the central greenspace, connecting to the internal road and to 236 Street. On-site
lighting will be provided with bollard and wall mounted lights, and CPTED (Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design) concepts have been followed in the landscape design.
Landscape planting has been designed with both privacy and visibility using low plant materials
around residential areas and taller plants further away from wh ere people are walking or driving.
Barrier plants will be used to insure privacy for yards and discourage trespassing into private
areas.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
On February 11, 2014, the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposal for form and character. The
panel recommended the following concerns to be addressed by the applicant as the design develops
and submitted to staff for follow-up:
Consider pedestrian access on north internal street;
Consider more meaningful onsite pedestrian access & circulation from informal gravel paths
to more formal paths and elimination of the dead-end paths;
Consider onsite storm water detention methods on internal streets to maximize soil volume
for planting areas;
Consider using bio-swale treatment along 236 Street;
Reconsider access between buildings facing 236 Street for internal circulation;
Consider non-combustible materials in buildings of close proximity;
- 5 -
Consider centralizing the amenity area/green space to a better sun aspect (orientation)
and/or improving the visual supervision for all the residents including connectivity to 236
Street;
Consider consistent wood detail (reference to the double wood detail) throughout the site;
Consider further natural play-scape elements in the amenity area/open space.
These concerns were all addressed through design revisions to the satisfaction of the Planning staff
and the Advisory Design Panel, as follows:
A formal concrete pedestrian pathway now includes a continuous loop around the
greenspace with connections to 236 Street and the perimeter pathway on the south and east
sides.
A stormwater management plan that is coordinated with the lot grading and engineering
drawings. The revised Stormwater Management and Landscape plans include bio-swales
along the 236 Street and 133 Avenue frontages, the south property line and within the green
space; additional topsoil depth, more permeable surfaces, and gravel drip edges that provide
a transition between soft landscape and building structure,
Pedestrian access to 236 Street is provided by a sidewalk on the north side of the entry road
and through the emergency access location at the north internal road.
Some of the building locations have been adjusted so that non-combustible building material
is not required to meet the Building Code.
The building design and location, and landscaping has been revised to provide better sun
aspects and visual supervision. A CPTED analysis has been provided with the landscape
plans.
Wood details are relatively consistent on all entry canopies.
Additional play-scape elements have been included in the amenity area/open space.
e) Requested variances:
The requested variances are discussed in a separate report to Council scheduled for the September
8, 2015 Council Meeting, and are identified as follows:
1. To increase the maximum building height on all buildings from 10.5 metres to 11.5 for
fifteen of the buildings and to 11.75 metres for two buildings;
2. The increase the maximum retaining wall heights from 1.2 metres to 1.3 to 2.9 metres for
fifteen of the forty-four walls; and
3. To reduce the minimum setbacks to the property lines for twelve of the buildings.
f) Environmental Implications:
The Stormwater Management Plan has been coordinated between the civil engineer and the
landscape architect and meets the three tier requirements of the Metro Vancouver Stormwater
Design Guidelines. The plan includes a minimum of 300mm absorbent topsoil, bioswales and in-
pipe detention.
g) 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. Based on estimated
landscape costs the security will be $326,057.00.
- 6 -
There will be 19 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The
costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating
budget.
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the Multi-Family Development Permit Area Guidelines of
the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that 2013-082-DP be given
favourable consideration.

Building Colours and Materials
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: August 31 2015
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2015-257-SD
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: Strata Conversion
12016 York Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City received an application from the owner of the property at 12016 York Street to strata‐title
the four (4) units on the property, including the two units in the recently revitalized Beeton/Daykin
Residence. Land Title Office (LTO) staff advised that because the Beeton/Daykin Residence was
previously occupied before it was changed into two units, the Strata Property Act (the “Act”) requires
this type of conversion to also be endorsed by Council. In accordance with this LTO requirement,
City Council resolution is required for the strata conversion to be registered. This is an administrative
matter allowing the necessary certificate to accompany the LTO filing.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the issuance of a Certificate of Approval for the strata conversion of the residential
townhouse buildings located at 12016 York Street in accordance with Section 242 of the Strata
Property Act be approved; and
That the Approving Officer be authorized to sign the Certificate of Approval.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
In accordance with Maple Ridge Heritage Designation and Revitalization and Tax Exemption
Agreement Bylaw 6902-2012 (the “HRA Bylaw”), the Beeton/Daykin Residence has been revitalized
and adapted to be a duplex and a second duplex structure of similar heritage design was
constructed and the same property.
All works, including revitalizing the exterior in accordance with the applicable Heritage Conservation
Plan and the structure/interior to be Building Code compliant, have been completed. Upon
presentation of all necessary documents to create four (4) strata lots, the applicant was advised by
LTO staff an additional endorsement was necessary to complete the filing.
Therefore, this application to endorse the conversion is being brought forward to Council.
1110
- 2 -
b) Planning Analysis:
In making its decision about conversions, section 242 (6) of the Strata Property Act stipulates that
the approving authority (i.e. Council) consider the following:
(a) The priority of rental accommodation over privately owned housing in the area,
(b) Any proposals for the relocation of persons occupying a residential building,
(c) The life expectancy of the building,
(d) Projected major increases in maintenance costs due to the condition of the building, and
(e) Any other matters that, in its opinion, are relevant.
Staff comments are as follows:
(a) Not Applicable. Rather than being vacant and becoming a target for vandalism and
damage, the Beeton/Daykin Residence was occupied as a rental during the HRA
approval process. However, consideration of this provision of the Act is mainly for rental
apartment buildings being entirely converted to ownership, thus reducing available rental
stock and displacing people from their homes without suitable alternative housing . That
is not the case in this instance;
(b) Not Applicable. The Beeton/Daykin Residence was vacated to undertake the required
heritage conservation and construction works. Consequently, the matter of relocating
persons occupying the residential building in the Act does not apply;
(c) Not Applicable. The Beeton/Daykin Residence is protected in perpetuity as a designated
heritage property and the second duplex is a new structure. This provision of the Act is
intended to apply to older buildings which may have limited life expectancy. Therefore, is
not an issue in this case;
(d) Not Applicable: This provision of the Act is intended to apply to older buildings in need for
upgrading. The strata council will be responsible for on-going maintenance and
establishing a contingency fund for long term maintenance of the Beeton/Daykin
Residence in accordance with the HRA Bylaw. The structure is up to code and is
effectively new; therefore, this is not an issue; and
(e) Not Applicable. The HRA Agreement and the Heritage Conservation Plan address relevant
heritage conservation concerns and notice of this is registered on title.
- 3 -
c) Interdepartmental Comments:
The Building Department confirms both buildings on the site have no deficiencies to address and
have been granted occupancy permits. Furthermore, the building in question has been fully
renovated to comply with the current edition of the B.C. Building Code.
CONCLUSION:
Based on the above discussion, it is recommended that Council approve the issuance of a
Certificate of Approval for the strata conversion of the residential townhouse buildings on the
Property on 12016 York Street in accordance with Section 242 of the Strata Property Act. And
further, the Approving Officer be authorized to sign the Certificate.

SUBJECT: 2% Money in Lieu o f Parkland Dedication
11219 243 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject property, located at 11219 243 Street (see Appendix A), is proposed to be subdivided
into 16 single family lots (see Appendix B). This subdivision is subject to the provisions of the Local
Government Act regarding Parkland Dedication or payment in lieu of dedication. It is recommended
that Council require both 3% parkland dedication and 2% payment in lieu of parkland dedication for
the remaining portion, to make up the required 5% parkland dedication.
RECOMMENDATION:
That pursuant to Local Government Act, Section 941, regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or
payment in lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 11219 243
Street, under application 2011-095-SD, shall pay to the City of Maple Ridge an amount that is not
less than $30,000.00.
DISCUSSION:
Section 941 of the Local Government Act requires the provision of parkland, without compensation,
as a condition of subdivision, subject to some exceptions. The land, not to exceed 5% of the area
proposed for subdivision, may be acquired in a location acceptable to the City, or a payment equal to
5% of the market value of the area proposed for subdivision is required.
Section 8.9, Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area, of the Official Community Plan states
that where watercourse protection areas are identified on the lands, the area is to be dedicated into
public ownership as Park, where possible, for the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of watercourses and riparian areas. These areas also provide large vegetated areas
in urban neighbourhoods that provide corridors for wildlife and passive park areas for residents.
Where there is either no watercourse protection areas, or no suitable lands are identified for park
dedication, then 5% of the market value of the land is paid to the City. These funds are placed into
a special Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund, for the purpose of acquiring parkland, and is typically
used where the ability to achieve parkland through development is limited, such as the Blaney Bog.
1111
- 2 -
In this particular instance there is 3% watercourse protection area present (see Appendix C) and it is
therefore recommended that money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided for the remaining 2%.
In keeping with past practice, the City has requested that an appraisal be provided for the 2%
market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land.
A report from a qualified real estate appraiser has determined that the market value of the land is
$1,500,000.00, which indicates that the 2% value of this property is $30,000.00.
CONCLUSION:
As there is only 3% watercourse protection areas on the property suitable for parkland dedication, it
is recommended that Council require 2% payment in lieu, in addition to the 3% parkland dedication,
as prescribed in the appraisal.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject property, located at 12366 Laity Street (see Appendix A), is proposed to be subdivide d
into 6 single family lots over two phases (see Appendix B). This subdivision is subject to the

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: August 31, 2015
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: 2016 – 2020 Financial Plan Guidelines
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City has a comprehensive Business Planning Process, which incorporates Council’s Financial
Plan Guidelines. These parameters guide staff in the development of the five-year Financial Plan to
fund City services and deliver on Council priorities. They also provide an opportunity for the public to
become informed and provide feedback early in the process, well before the Financial Plan comes
forward to Council and the property tax rates are set.
The proposed property tax increases are the lowest they have been in years. Each year the rate
increases for the subsequent five years are reviewed and may be adjusted.
Once the Financial Plan is prepared and presented to Council and the public, typically in December,
a bylaw will be presented to Council for formal consideration.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That staff be directed to prepare the 2016-2020 Financial Plan incorporating the Financial Plan
Guidelines as itemized in section d) of the August 31, 2015 staff report titled, “2016 – 2020
Financial Plan Guidelines”.
DISCUSSION:
The City has a comprehensive Business Planning Process, which incorporates Council’s Financial
Plan Guidelines. These parameters guide staff in the development of a five-year financial plan to
fund City services and deliver on Council priorities. They also provide an opportunity for the public to
become informed and provide feedback early in the process, well before the plan comes forward to
Council. After the financial plan is developed and presented to Council and the public, typically in
December, a Financial Plan bylaw will be presented to Council for formal consideration.
Council endorsement of the Financial Plan Guidelines at this time provides a number of benefits:
The business and financial planning activities are performed with Council expectations at the
forefront,
Staff resources are used efficiently in the preparation of business plans and the Financial
Plan,
A financial plan is in place in a timely fashion,
Unbudgeted items raised by Council can be addressed earlier,
Contracts for capital works can be secured as early as possible, making full use of the
construction season.

Five-year financial plans include assumptions and projections including building activity, inflation,
contract costs, interest rates and labour costs. As with all assumptions and projections, greater
certainty exists in the first few years of the plan.
The single largest cost component within the operating budget is wages. The CUPE contract calls for
a wage increase of 2% on April 1, 2016 while regional Fire Department settlements are around 2.5%
per year. In addition, RCMP wages have not been determined by Treasury Board and, although a
modest provision has been provided for, the final settlement could be higher. The amount of
General Purpose Tax increase to accommodate these changes is 2.1% in 2016, as shown in
Appendix I. This is a 0.10% reduction in the tax increase of 2.2% that appears for 2016 in the
current financial plan (2015-2019 Financial Plan). This increase allows us to retain existing service
levels.
The most significant change in the forthcoming financial plan will be a financial strategy to deliver on
Council-identified priority community infrastructure. Various funding methods will be considered,
including debt financing, borrowing from internal reserves, future debt capacity, amenity
contributions, and other revenue sources.
The following changes are also recommended:
No increase in Recycling rates in 2016, rather than the 2.75% increase that was
planned. Future annual rate increases remain at 2.75%, for 2017 through 2020 and will
be reviewed each year.
Water levy increases have been reduced from 5.5% to 4.5% annually.
Sewer levy increases have been reduced from 4.6% to 3.6% annually.
The elimination of a $70,000 reduction in the Major Industrial Class property taxes which
was planned in 2016, 2017 and 2018. In 2014 and 2015, the property taxes for the
Major Industrial Class were reduced by $70,000 each year from what they would have
been otherwise.
The General Purpose Property Tax increase is reduced by 0.1% in 2016 through 2018
due to the elimination of the Major Industrial Tax reduction noted above. The General
Purpose Property Tax Increases for 2016 - 2020 are now 2.1%, 1.9% 1.9%, 2% and 2%.
As this is the first full year of the current Council mandate, Council will receive full business plans
and presentations from each department. These will include departmental staffing levels and
budget information. Budget changes for each department will be presented in terms of the
percentage property tax increase that they create, to help highlight the tax increase driven by each
department. Additionally, Council may wish to consider a separate resolution after each
departmental budget is discussed, to indicate satisfaction with that portion of the budget.
Our current Financial Plan includes the property tax increases that appear in Appendix 1. While the
amount of the increase has been reduced in current years, further reductions will be difficult in light
of the wage settlements discussed earlier and if Council wishes to maintain service levels.

a)Desired Outcome:
Financial plan and business plan direction to staff that meets Council’s expectations.
b)Citizen/Customer Implications:
Consideration of the Financial Plan guidelines at this time provides an opportunity for the public
to become informed and provide feedback early in the process, well before the plan is prepared.
The Financial Plan incorporating these guidelines will be presented to Council and the public in
December and all presentations will be live-streamed. As has been our practice the past few
years, there will be a question and answer session where the public will be able to ask questions
in person, via telephone or via social media. The Financial Plan will attempt to strike a balance
between minimizing property tax and user fee increases and service.
d)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The 2016-2020 Financial Plan Guidelines include the following:
Property Tax Increase for General Purposes – Increase of 2.1% in 2016, 1.90% in 2017 and
2018 and 2.0% in 2019 and 2020.
Infrastructure Sustainability Property Tax Increase – 0.50% in 2016 and 0.70% per year in
2017 through 2020.
Parks, Recreation and Culture Property Tax Increase – 0.25% per year.
Storm Water Property Tax Increase – 0.30% per year.
Water Levy Increase – 4.50% per year.
Sewer Levy Increase – 3.60% per year.
Recycling Levy Increase – 0% in 2016 and 2.75% per year in 2017 through 2020.
Growth in Property Tax Revenue Assumption – 2.00% per year.
Provision for costs associated with growth, subject to available funding.
Allocation of growth revenue from incentive programs to fund Infrastructure Sustainability.
The Financial Plan will include a funding strategy to deliver on Council-identified priority
community infrastructure. Various funding methods will be considered: debt financing,
borrowing from internal reserves, amenity contributions, and other revenue sources.
4 | P a g e
CONCLUSION:
The Financial Plan Guidelines provide a framework for developing the five year Financial Plan.
The reductions made in the property tax and utility rate increases result in a decrease to the
overall tax and utility fee increase of about one third of one percent.

SUBJECTSUBJECTSUBJECTSUBJECT: 2016 Permissive Tax Exemptions
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Community Charter provides Council with statutory powers to exempt certain types of properties
from municipal property taxation. Council’s policy direction in this area is based on the fundamental
principle that the Municipality will not grant property tax exemptions to organizations providing
services on a private or for profit basis, or where the service is the responsibility of senior
governments. If exemptions were granted in these instances then tax payers would be funding
programs that were not intended to be funded by property taxes.
Over the past several years Council has maintained limited growth in Permissive Tax Exemptions
recognizing that any increase in exemptions results in a shift of the tax revenue to be collected from
the remaining taxable properties. Each year additional requests for financial assistance are received,
either in the form of property tax exemptions or community grants and Council must consider all of
those requests in balance with the overall Financial Plan.
There was one application received for a 2016 Permissive Tax Exemption where the applicant had
not previously received an exemption. NorthRidge Church has applied for a permissive exemption

a)a)a)a) Background Context:Background Context:Background Context:Background Context:
The Community Charter provides for a general exemption from taxation over which Council
does not have any legislative powers or authority. This includes properties such as schools,
public hospitals, buildings set apart for public worship and provincial and municipally owned
public buildings and land. B.C. Assessment determines which properties qualify for statutory
exemption according to the Community Charter.
The statutory exemption received by Churches and Private Schools only provides for the
church or school building and the land on which it stands, leaving any remaining land and
improvements as taxable. Council policies 5.20 and 5.21 confirm that these properties will
1134
Page 2 of 4
also receive a permissive tax exemption. Church properties receive a permissive exemption
for an additional church hall and the entire parcel of land, to a maximum of 2.0335 hectares
(5 acres). Buildings other than the church and church hall are subject to taxation. The
statutory exemption offered to churches is not available for those churches that lease, rather
than own, property. In these circumstances, Council policy 5.20 confirms that a permissive
tax exemption will be provided. Private Schools receive a permissive exemption for
additional improvements and the entire parcel of land not included in the statutory
exemption.
The Community Charter also provides Council with statutory powers to exempt other certain
properties from municipal taxation. For example, these can be land and improvements that
are used by not for profit organizations that are deemed to contribute to the well being of the
community or private institutions licensed under other legislation such as the Hospital Act,
Community Care Facility Act or parts of the School Act.
Permissive exemptions can also be granted by Council for heritage properties and portions of
a property used for municipal purposes (e.g. parts of Planet Ice, the curling rink and the
Ridge Meadows Seniors Society).
Council’s policy direction is intended to prevent the downloading/off loading of services that
are the responsibility of senior governments and to ensure local residents are not subsidizing
residents from other municipalities. They also establish that where a permissive tax
exemption is granted all residents of Maple Ridge have access to the service provided and
make certain that the property tax exemption does not provide for an unfair competitive
advantage. The services provided by the organization are to be an extension of Municipal
services and programs and fall under the responsibility of local government.
A Tax Exemption Bylaw adopted by Council specifically applies to the Municipal tax levies on
the Property Tax Notice. However at this time, the School Act and the Hospital District Act
also provide for exemptions from other taxing authorities for properties included in the bylaw.
The Community Charter requires the contents of the proposed taxation exemption bylaw be
publicly posted and included in a newspaper prior to its adoption. The notice will include a
description of each property and the estimated tax exemption for 2016 plus the following
two years. Churches and Private Schools that receive a statutory exemption are not included
in the notice. The City’s Annual Report also includes information on all permissive
exemptions granted.
b)b)b)b) Desired Outcome:Desired Outcome:Desired Outcome:Desired Outcome:
Council must adopt the Tax Exemption Bylaw on or before October 31, 2015 to exempt
properties from municipal property taxation for 2016.
c)c)c)c) Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment:
The sources of municipal revenue are limited and therefore, the City supports institutions,
organizations and the community at large to enhance the quality of life to its residents. The
granting of property tax exemptions to those applicants meeting the criteria of the policies
are strategically aligned with:
(i) Financial Management – cost effective and efficient delivery of services
(ii) Community Relations – recognize and support the important contribution of volunteers
and not for profit groups that provide services in Maple Ridge
Page 3 of 4
(iii) Safe & Livable Community – in partnership with community groups, assist in the
provision of leisure and cultural services to ensure access by all citizens
d)d)d)d) Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:
Permissive exemptions are designed to support those services that complement City
programs. Inadequate funding from senior governments sometimes results in agencies
turning to local government for assistance. The sources of municipal funding are limited and
providing exemptions to those groups that fall under the responsibility of senior governments
is not feasible.
e)e)e)e) Business Plan/Financial ImplicBusiness Plan/Financial ImplicBusiness Plan/Financial ImplicBusiness Plan/Financial Implications:ations:ations:ations:
There was one new application received for a 2016 permissive tax exemption. NorthRidge
Church has leased property at 22889 Dewdney Trunk Road and the recommendation is to
approve the application. The estimated 2016 exemption for this property is $10,500.
Based on 2015 assessed values, and using the estimated tax increase for 2016 from the
financial plan, the estimated amount attributable to all of the 2016 proposed tax exemptions
for the municipal portion of taxes is $716,987. The tax revenue estimate for 2016 in the
financial plan is $77,765,000, putting the proposed exemptions at less than 1% of that total.
f)f)f)f) Policy Implications:Policy Implications:Policy Implications:Policy Implications:
The applicants recommended for exemption are in accordance with the adopted policies.
Council does have the discretion to make exceptions to existing policies on a case by case
basis but doing so may create expectations for other community groups in the future.
g)g)g)g) Alternatives:Alternatives:Alternatives:Alternatives:
Granting tax exemptions leads to a tax shift to other taxpayers, most notably in the
Residential Class. An option for Council is to provide a financial grant to assist those
organizations providing community services that Council wishes to support. Grants are an
annual budget decision and are limited to one year. Council has used this option from time
to time. Providing grants does not relieve senior levels of government from their
responsibility to the community. Therefore, the potential for downloading costs to the City is
somewhat reduced.
CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:
In reviewing the requests for permissive exemptions, Council should consider that any increase in
exemptions results in a shift of the tax revenue to be collected from the remaining taxable
properties. Requests for financial assistance, whether in the form of a permissive tax exemption or
community grant, must be considered in balance with the overall Financial Plan. Each permissive
tax exemption application should be evaluated under the following criteria:
1. The use is consistent with City policies, plans, bylaws, codes and regulations. This will
ensure the goals, policies, and general operating principles of the City as a whole are
reflected in the organizations that receive support.
2. Exemptions are not given to services that are otherwise provided on a private, for profit
basis. This would provide an unfair competitive advantage.
3. The services provided by the organization should be an extension of City services and
programs and must fall under the responsibility of local government. Senior government
Page 4 of 4
program costs must not be transferred to property taxpayers, as this would represent double
taxation and an inequitable tax burden.
4. Primarily Maple Ridge residents should use the services and the organization’s regulations
must allow all Maple Ridge residents to participate.
5. The taxation burden resulting from the exemption must be a justifiable expense to the
taxpayers of the City. The sources of Municipal revenue are limited and request for
exemption must be considered in concert with other needs of the Municipality.
Additional details on the applications are available from the Finance Department.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: August 31, 2015
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C.O.W.
SUBJECT: Partnering Agreements
- Town Centre Investment Incentive Program and
- Employment Land Investment Incentive Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the fall of 2014, Municipal Council approved the framework for the Employment Land Investment
Incentive Program. Council also endorsed a two-year extension of the commercial portion of the
Town Centre Investment Incentive Program. Both incentive programs are intended to accelerate
private investment and to attract new businesses and high value jobs to Maple Ridge. Council
approved the use of partnering agreements as one of the tools to support both incentive programs.
Two projects are now at the stage where partnering agreements are required in order for the City to
provide incentive payments. In accordance with Council direction, agreements are presented for
consideration at a public meeting, and although legally subject to Council approval, the projects
meet pre-established eligibility requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute Partnering Agreements to:
1.Meridian Acquisitions Ltd. under building permit number 15-107398 in the amount of
$5,539.35; and,
2.Anmore Holdings Inc. under building permit number 15-111021 in the amount of
$8,610.29.
BACKGROUND:
The Town Centre Investment Incentive Program was launched in 2011 to accelerate the
implementation of the Town Centre Area Plan. The residential portion of the program was
discontinued in December 2013, and the commercial portion was extended to the end of 2016. The
four year Employment Land Investment Incentive Program was launched in 2015 to help implement
the Commercial and Industrial Strategy.
Two development projects that meet the eligibility requirements have been issued building permits.
This is the trigger for the incentive programs to begin, and the partnering agreement incentives are 1136

now due. In order to proceed, the City requires each owner to enter into a partnering agreement to
ensure obligations are clearly understood. The projects are described as follows:
Meridian Acquisitions Ltd. under building permit number 15-107398 in the amount of
$5,539.35, to assist in the construction of their new two-storey commercial building located
at 11980 227 Street, Maple Ridge, BC, under the Town Centre Investment Incentive
Program; and,
Anmore Holdings Inc. under building permit number 15-111021 in the amount of $8,610.29
to assist in the construction of their new one-storey industrial warehouse located at 20210
113B Avenue, Maple Ridge, BC, under the Employment Land Investment Incentive Program.
Public notice was issued in accordance with Sections 24, 21 and 94 of the Community Charter.
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATIONS:
Council previously set aside approximately $3 million to fund the incentive programs. After covering
off partnering agreements and tax exemptions to date, there is about $1.4 million remaining. The
partnering agreements referred to in this report will require that the reserve will be drawn down by
$14,149.64.
Through the incentive programs, both projects have also benefitted from building permit discounts of
$12,866.38 for Meridian Acquisitions Ltd. and $9,452.75 for Anmore Holdings Inc.
The programs also provide incentives in the form of property tax exemptions. Amounts will be driven
by future BC Assessment valuations and are therefore difficult to predict. An estimate of the
incentives, based on construction value and using 2015 property tax rates, would result in
approximately $125,000 spread over three to five years. Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreements
will be necessary to initiate this portion of the incentive programs once the projects are nearing
completion.
CITIZEN IMPLICATIONS:
The City’s approach to the incentive programs is one of full transparency. There have been numerous
Council reports, presentations and newspaper notices, and over four years of incentive program
implementation. The Employment Land Investment Incentive Program is intended to attract new
commercial and industrial businesses and high value jobs to Maple Ridge while the Town Centre
Investment Incentive Program is intended to stimulate growth and density, as well as to enhance the
quality of new and existing development in our Town Centre. Both incentive programs’ goals and
objectives have consistently ranked as highly desirable in citizen surveys.

CONCLUSION:
This report requests Council authorization to execute partnering agreements that will allow the City
to provide financial incentives for the two building permits noted in this report. The projects meet
pre-established eligibility criteria adopted by Council. The incentives total $14,149.64, and support
the $3.4 million in construction value represented by these projects. The partnering agreement
incentives are a component of a comprehensive incentive program that supports the Commercial
and Industrial Strategy and the Town Centre Area Plan.
