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.
Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff
members.
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

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-175-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7258-2016
23711 132 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the southern portion of the subject property, located at
23711 132 Avenue, from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban
Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit future subdivision
into 3 single family lots (see Appendix C). A separate application, 2016-176-RZ, has been received
to rezone the northern portion of the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential). Application 2016-176-RZ
will have a separate report to that of the subject application. The applicant is pursuing separate
rezoning applications in anticipation that the single family development will proceed faster than the
multi family component. To proceed further with this application additional information is required
as outlined below. An Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment to the Conservation boundary is
required. Pursuant to Council resolution, this application is subject to the Community Amenity
Contribution Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an OCP, Council must consider whether consultation is required with
specifically:
i.The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii.The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii.The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v.Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together
with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No.7258-2016 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, B, F, G and J of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a
Subdivision application.

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: Brookside Properties Ltd.
Owner: Sjoerd Gunnink

48925
OCP:
Existing: Medium/High Density Residential; Conservation; Low Density
Urban
Proposed: Low Density Urban and Conservation
Zoning:
Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family
Suburban Residential)
Proposed: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District)
Designation: Medium/High Density Residential
South: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: RS-2 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Conservation, Low Density Urban, Medium/High Density
Residential, Open Space
East: Use: Park
Zone: P-1 (Park and School)
Designation: Neighbourhood Park, Conservation, Medium/High Density
Residential
West: Use: Single Family Residential, Multi Family Residential, Park
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential)
Designation: Low Density Urban, Conservation, Medium/High Density
Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential, Multi Family Residential
Site Area: 0.845 Ha (2.09)
Access: 132 Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is 0.85 Ha (2.09 acres) in size, and is bound by single family and multi family
lots to the west, single family lots to the north and south, and park to the east. Maple Ridge Park
- 3 -
Creek runs northeast to southwest through the centre of the property. Large boulders and rocky
outcrops have been identified throughout the property, with a significant feature located along the
northeast boundary of the site. The subject property slopes from north to south with a grade
differential of approximately 22 m. There is an existing single family dwelling south of Maple Ridge
Park Creek that will remain as part of the development.
c) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing 3 single family residential lots on the southern portion of the subject
property, which includes the existing single family house. All three lots will be located south of Maple
Ridge Park Creek. Two of the lots will front 132 Avenue, with the third lot and existing home
proposed as a panhandle lot. Council Policy 6.02 indicates that panhandle lots are permitted
“where there is no other subdivision possibility in an established area, and where there is no
possibility of a road being created to eliminate any need of a panhandle subdivision, and when the
lot being created will not affect the established amenity of the area by blocking views from adjoining
parcels.” In this instance, it is not possible for a road to be developed to access the existing house,
nor will any views be blocked from adjoining parcels. Access to the lots will be from 132 Avenue with
the panhandle driveway located along the western boundary of the subject property (see Appendix
D). The area surrounding Maple Ridge Park Creek will be dedicated to the City as Park.
The same applicant is proposing a 16 unit townhouse development through a separate application,
2016-176-RZ, on the northern portion of the subject property, north of Maple Ridge Park Creek (see
Appendix E). Application 2016-176-RZ will be accessed from 133 Avenue, which is a separate
access from the subject application. There is no access proposed between the townhouse site to the
north and the single family lots to the south. The applicant is pursuing separate rezoning
applications in anticipation that the single family development will proceed faster than the multi
family component.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the 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 land use designations of the subject property are outlined in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The
southern portion of the site is designated Low Density Urban, which supports densities ranging from
8 to 18 units per hectare. The applicant is proposing the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone, which is consistent with the Low Density Urban land use designation. The balance
of the site is designated Conservation and Medium/High Density Residential. The applicant is
proposing a 16 unit townhouse development on the northern Medium/High Density Residential
designated portion of the property, under application 2016-176-RZ. An amendment to the OCP is
required for the Conservation boundary around Maple Ridge Park Creek, once it has been
determined by a Qualified Environmental Professional.
Design features of the Silver Valley Area Plan include concentrating higher density residential
development into the Hamlets and the River Village. These areas were planned to be within walking
- 4 -
distance of commercial uses. Residential densities outside of these core areas were reduced
overall, through clustering or retention of larger lots, to retain significant natural amenities and
protect view corridors. The subject property is situated between, but outside of the peripheries of
River Village and Horse Hamlet. It is therefore located in an area that is generally associated with
lower density residential development, as reflected in its current designation.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the southern portion of the subject property from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision into 3 single family residential lots (see
Appendix C). The minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone is 557 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require
a Development Variance Permit application.
A second application, 2016-176-RZ, on the northern portion of the subject property, proposes to
rezone from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-
1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of 16 townhouse units. Application 2016-
176-RZ will be the subject of a separate report to Council.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required 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 Permit Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the OCP. Prior to second reading a
Registered Professional Forester’s Report will be required to determine wildfire mitigation
requirements.
- 5 -
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 (DIM) is not required for this application due to the fact the
proposal is less than 5 units and the OCP amendment is to accurately define the Conservation
boundary for park purposes. A DIM will be required for the application to the north, 2016-176-RZ.
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) Building Department;
e) Parks Department; and
f) School District
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it
is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed
OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment.
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
3. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
4. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G);
5. A Wildfire Development Permit Application (Schedule J); and
6. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
- 6 -
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP; however an OCP
amendment to adjust the Conservation area boundary will be required. It is, therefore,
recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and
assessed prior to second reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer.

Existing: Medium/High Density Residential; Conservation;
Low Density Urban
Proposed: Medium/High Density Residential; Low Density Urban and
Conservation (adjusted boundaries)
Zoning:
Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
Proposed: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District)
Designation: Medium/High Density Residential
South: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: RS-2 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Conservation, Low Density Urban, Medium/High Density
Residential, Open Space
East: Use: Park
Zone: P-1 (Park and School)
Designation: Neighbourhood Park, Conservation, Medium/High Density
Residential
West: Use: Single Family Residential, Multi Family Residential, Park
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential),
RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
Designation: Low Density Urban, Conservation, Medium/High Density
Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential, Multi Family Residential
Site Area: 0.845 Ha (2.09)
Access: 133 Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is 0.85 Ha (2.09 acres) in size, and is bound by both single family and multi
family lots to the west, single family lots to the north and south, and park to the east. Maple Ridge
Park Creek runs northeast to southwest through the centre of the property. Large boulders and
rocky outcrops have been identified throughout the property, with a significant feature located along
- 3 -
the northeast boundary of the site. The subject property slopes from north to south with a grade
differential of approximately 22 m. There is an existing single family dwelling south of Maple Ridge
Park Creek that will remain as part of the development. The development portion north of Maple
Ridge Park Creek is approximately 0.34 Ha (0.84 acres) in area, and the development portion south
of the creek is approximately 0.29 Ha (0.72 acres) in area. The remaining area around Maple Ridge
Park Creek, approximately 0.21 ha (0.53 acres), will be dedicated to the City as Park.
c) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing a townhouse development consisting of 16 units, located north of Maple
Ridge Park Creek. Access to the townhouse site will be from 133 Avenue. All units are proposed to
have double-car garages.
The same applicant is proposing the development of 3 single family lots, through a separate
application, 2016-175-RZ, on the southern portion of the subject property, south of Maple Ridge
Park Creek (see Appendix E). Application 2016-175-RZ will be accessed from 132 Avenue, which is
a separate access from the subject application. There is no access proposed between the
townhouse site to the north and the single family lots to the south.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the 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 land use designations of the subject property are outlined in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The
northern portion of the site is designated Medium/High Density Residential, which supports density
in the range of 30 to 50 units per hectare. The applicant is proposing the RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zone, which is consistent with the Medium/High Density Residential land use
designation. The balance of the site is designated Conservation and Low Density Urban. The
applicant is proposing a single family development on the southern Low Density Urban designated
portion of the subject property, under application 2016-175-RZ at first reading (see Appendix E). An
amendment to the OCP is required for the Conservation boundary around Maple Ridge Park Creek,
to reflect the exact setback distance as determined by a Qualified Environmental Professional.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the northern portion of the subject property from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) to permit development of 16 townhouse units (see Appendix C). The minimum lot size
for the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is 557 m2. Any variations from the
requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
A second application, 2016-175-RZ, on the southern portion of the subject property, proposes to
rezone from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-
- 4 -
1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision into 3 single family
residential lots (see Appendix E).
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to
ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that
meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required 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 Permit Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the Official Community Plan. Prior
to second reading a Registered Professional Forester’s Report will be required to determine wildfire
mitigation requirements.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Multi Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to second reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
- 5 -
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) Building Department;
e) Parks Department; and
f) School District;
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it
is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed
OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment.
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
3. A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D);
4. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
5. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G);
6. A Wildfire Development Permit Application (Schedule J);
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP; however an OCP
amendment to adjust the Conservation area boundary will be required. It is, therefore,
recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and
assessed prior to second reading.

12258 228 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located on 12258 228 Street from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit future
subdivision into 3 single family residential lots, a lane and a remnant lot. To proceed further with
this application additional information is required as outlined below. Subject to Council’s resolution
this application is exempt from the CAC policy, due to its location in the Town Centre.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7261-2016 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule B of the Development
Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for an Intensive Residential

West: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Ground Oriented Multi Family Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Site Area: 0.140 HA. (0.34 acres)
Access: lane off of 122 Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is 1400m2 (0.34 acre) in size, is generally flat, and is bound by single family
residential properties. The property is within the Town Centre Area Plan. There are no streams or
slopes on the property. There is an existing house and garage on the property, which will be
demolished.
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to
R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to create 3 single family residential lots and a lane, plus a
remnant lot 4 for future subdivision potential with the adjacent property east, on Greenwell Street.
Access is proposed to be from a lane to the south of the property (adjacent property currently under
application 2011-130-RZ).
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 Town Centre Area Plan and is currently designated Single
Family Residential. The Single Family Residential land use designation is intended for a single family
detached housing form. Policy 3-17 provides options for increasing density while retaining the single
family character in established neighbourhoods, and specifically states that a “lot size of 213 m2 to
370 m2 is permitted, where vehicle access is from a rear lane only”. The proposed R-3 zoning for the
development is in compliance with the Town Centre policies.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 12258 228 Street from RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to permit future
development into 3 single family residential lots, a lane, and a remnant lot. The minimum lot size for
- 3 -
the proposed R-3 zone is 213m2. No variations from the requirements of the proposed zone are
anticipated at this time.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the OCP, an Intensive Residential Development Permit application is
required to ensure the current proposal provides emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and
quality of the built environment, while protecting important qualities of the natural environment.
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) Building Department (Licences, Permits and Bylaws);
e) School District; and
f) 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
some road dedication may be required. This evaluation will take place between first and second
Reading.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B) ;
2. An Intensive Residential Development Permit Application; and
3. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council
grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second
reading.
It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation.

b) Background Context:
On December 15, 2010, the City of Maple Ridge completed the purchase of 14 properties located
between Haney Place Mall and Valley Fair Mall - a development site that encompassed 3.04 acres.
In October 2014, a Request for Proposals was released, and in April of 2015, Council directed staff
to proceed with discussions and negotiations with the lead proponent, Falcon Homes. The Business
Terms and Conditions reached with Falcon Homes were approved by Council on July 20, 2015.
Council approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement on August 31, 2015; and a Public Notice of
- 3 -
Disposition was inserted into the Maple Ridge News on September 4 and 9, 2015, fulfilling the two-
week notice period. On September 14, 2015, Council directed staff to complete the Purchase and
Sale Agreement for the City’s 3.04 acre Town Centre Lands to Falcon Homes. The Purchase and
Sale Agreement outlines a number of amenities to be included in the development.
The western portion of this block on 226 Street, across from Thrifty’s at Haney Place Mall and
adjacent to the 14 city owned properties, has been previously developed by Falcon Homes. The
northern building at the corner of 226 Street and 119 Avenue was completed in 2013 with 62
residential units and three commercial units, while the southern building was completed in 2015
with 23 residential units and three commercial units. Both buildings are four storeys in height.
The eastern portion of this city block on 227 Street, comprising five of the 14 Town Centre Land
parcels is currently zoned C-3 (Town Centre Commercial), and is not the subject of this rezoning
application. Separate development permits will come forward for these lands, identified as Phases
1 and 3, for Council approval at a later date. A Town Centre Development Permit is in process for the
north-east corner (Phase 1) under application 2016-115-DP. Phase 1 is proceeding at this time due
to the existing C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zoning.
The subject of this application is the portion of Town Centre Lands between 226 and 227 Street,
representing nine properties, and totaling two acres in size.
c) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties are located on either side of an existing east-west lane, and make up the
middle section and the majority of a central Town Centre city block bound by 227 Avenue to the east,
226 Street to the west, 119 Avenue to the north, and Selkirk Avenue to the south (see Appendix A).
The properties are all currently vacant and have minimal tree canopy. Two recently constructed
mixed-use buildings border the properties on the west side.
d) Project Description:
Overall Development Proposal:
The comprehensive re-development of the Town Centre Lands includes a total of five mixed-use
buildings varying in height from five to six storeys, with a total residential yield of 215 units and
approximately 4,693 m2 (50,512 ft2) of commercial floor space. The comprehensive development
plan includes an underground parkade spanning the balance of the city block that will serve all
future buildings. Two ramps to the underground parking structure will be accessed from the internal
lane, similar to the existing design for buildings located in this block. Building and parkade
construction will occur in five phases, beginning in the north-east corner and ending with the
buildings along Selkirk Avenue. Appendix D illustrates the sequencing of each phase. The form and
character of the development will continue the building material and colour scheme from the existing
buildings on 226 Street, with some variation to maintain visual interest.
Both the Town Centre Area Plan guiding principles and design guidelines speak to new developments
that create a pedestrian-friendly design and enhanced public spaces that ensure an attractive,
distinctive and vibrant centre. As such, the developer has incorporated a central public plaza
integrated with some surface parking within the centre of the block that provides landscaped green
spaces, public art, seating areas, water features and routes for non-motorized transportation.
Additionally, the pedestrian realm also extends around the perimeter of the site along 119 and
Selkirk Avenue, and 227 Street. Canopies and arcades will provide weather protection, and new
pedestrian amenities including bike lock-ups, benches, street lighting and landscaping will be
- 4 -
installed. Preliminary discussions regarding the provision of a parklet somewhere within the
development are in progress with the applicant.
Phases 2, 4 and 5 Development Proposal:
Phases 2, 4 and 5 buildings are the subject of this rezoning application (see Appendix D), and
include a variety of amenities. Each building in these phases will be six storeys in height with a total
of 127 residential units and 2,667m2 (28,700 ft2) of commercial floor space. In addition to the east-
west pedestrian connection that the lane provides, two north-south pedestrian walkways are also
provided. In Phase 2, a walkway is provided at ground level through the building, whereas the
walkway on Selkirk Avenue is located between the Phase 4 and 5 buildings.
Amenity Spaces and Public Art:
The centre of the block is proposed to be developed as a public plaza space that includes
landscaped green spaces, public art, seating areas, water features and routes for non-motorized
transportation. Patio space will have the potential to serve as an extension of the commercial space
for outdoor seating. Public art will be incorporate into the central plaza space, and the developer’s
public art contribution is consistent with the value provided for similar in-stream Town Centre Area
rezoning applications. Vehicular traffic will be restricted through the middle portion of the plaza to
create a pedestrian and cycling friendly space. The applicant intends to construct the north side of
the plaza and the pedestrian lane with Phase 2 building construction. The balance of the plaza will
be constructed in Phases 4 and 5.
As outlined in the developer’s Purchase and Sale Agreement, the applicant will also be providing a
commercial space for community use. Discussions are still ongoing to determine the location and
operating details for this space. Staff have additionally encouraged the developer to consider
designing one of the commercial units to comply with Fraser Health daycare licensing requirements
for indoor and outdoor space that would accommodate care for 25 children.
Green Building Components:
All of the proposed buildings in this re-development project will be constructed to a LEED Certified
standard equivalency, although the formal certification process will not be pursued. The developer
will be required to submit a Commissioner’s Report to the city one year after occupancy in the
absence of the formal certification process. The applicant has a LEED Accredited Professional on
staff to assist with this process and will be working with the city’s sustainability staff. The following
green building components are proposed to meet the LEED certification standard:
Low-impact development standards, including absorbent soils, naturalized landscaping and
xeriscaping, and permeable surfaces
Rain water recovery systems
Organic waste facilities
Infrastructure for future alternative energy sources
Roof gardens and permeable paving to reduce impervious surfaces
Reduced indoor and outdoor water use through fixture selection and irrigation requirements
Optimize energy efficiency through fixture and appliance selection, extensive use of daylight,
and maximized envelope performance.
Materials are environmentally, economically, and socially have preferable life-cycle impacts
Reduce construction waster and divert materials wherever possible
Enhance indoor air quality, thermal comfort and overall well-being by: conducting air quality
assessment, utilizing low-emitting materials, maximizing natural ventilation, offering individual
control of air temperature, maximizing daylight and providing unobstructed views for the
- 5 -
majority of living control of air temperatures, maximizing daylight and providing unobstructed
views for the majority of living commercial spaces.
Electrical vehicle charging stations
Rental Housing:
On September 30, 2014 Council endorsed the Housing Action Plan. This plan contains a number of
action items to protect existing and create new rental housing stock in the City. Both rental and
adaptable housing units will be provided in the proposed buildings, as well as in the remaining two
phases in this development that are already zoned C-3 (Town Centre Commercial). The rental
housing units will be subject to a Housing Agreement. The developer proposes to identify both
market and non-market rental housing units. Further details regarding the number and location of
these units will be outlined in the second reading report.
Adaptable Housing:
In addition to secured rental housing units, adaptable housing units will also be provided through the
rezoning application. The developer proposes to provide age-in-place measures following the most
critical portions of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Flexhousing guideline, which is
similar to the SAFERhome standard. These measures include:
Thresholds (including doorways and showers)
Backing/reinforcement for future grab bars in washrooms and at stairs
Doors – as wide as possible (36” doors are the best but ultimately it’s extremely difficult
to provide in condos); easily operated hardware (lever sets)
Passageways and pinch points
Shower control valves
The construction cost of these units is slightly higher (approximately $4,000 per unit) and permits
the unit to be modified to higher standards of accessibility based on the changing needs of the
occupant. The developer has identified that 5-10% of units will be constructed to this standard;
however, a higher number will likely be constructed, as the product is desirable for future residents
and allows aging in place.
Other:
The subject properties are located within Sub Area 1 of the Town Centre Area Incentive Program, and
meet the conditions for the commercial component to be included in the program provided that the
building permit is issued by December 30, 2016.
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.
e) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan – Town Centre Area Plan:
The overall development site is located in the Civic Core Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan; and
is designated Town Centre Commercial and Medium and High-Rise Residential. The properties
subject to this rezoning application are currently designated Medium and High-Rise Residential.
- 6 -
The Town Centre Area Plan explains that the Medium and High-Rise Residential land use designation
is intended for an apartment form that is a minimum of six storeys with residential parking provided
underground. Ground level units are encouraged to have private exterior entrances in addition to
entrances via the internal hallway.
The Medium and High-Rise Residential land use designation aligns with the RM-3 (High Density
Apartment) and RM-6 (High Density Apartment Residential) zones, which are multi-family zones. The
applicant’s proposal to include ground floor commercial is not permitted in either the RM -3 (High
Density Apartment) or RM-6 (High Density Residential) zones. The applicant is seeking an OCP
amendment from Medium and High-Rise Residential to Town Centre Commercial to enable the use
of the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone. The C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone allows both
residential and commercial uses.
There are eight sustainability guiding principles listed in the Town Centre Area Plan. The re-
development of the subject properties in conjunction with land to the east endeavours to realize
each of these principles, which are:
1. Each neighbourhood is complete
2. Options to our cars exist
3. Work in harmony with natural systems
4. Buildings and Infrastructure are greener and smarter
5. Housing serves many needs
6. Jobs are close to home
7. The centre is attractive, distinctive and vibrant
8. Everyone has a voice
The location of the development site in close proximity to the transit exchange and the proposed mix
of uses make transportation alternatives viable. Additionally, the applicant’s proposal to provide
residential units on the housing continuum and to use LEED certified building standard are also
aligned with area plan goals. The following Town Centre Area Plan policies guide development of the
subject properties:
Policy 3-1 An increase in residential and commercial density is encouraged in the Town Centre,
particularly within the Central Business District (see Figure 2 for boundaries of CBD). Land
use should include a mix of housing types catering to various demographics, including
affordable and special needs housing, within walking distance to a broad mixture of uses,
including shops, services, cultural facilities, and recreation.
Policy 3-14 Creating public outdoor meeting spaces will be encouraged in appropriate locations
within the Central Business District and may take the form of urban squares, plazas,
courtyards, or passageways between buildings. These areas will be landscaped with
trees and plants that will attract birds and insects and also provide seating areas for
people to rest, reflect, or meet and visit with others. Incorporating public art into these
spaces will be encouraged.
Policy 3-16 Principles of CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) should be applied,
particularly to the internal spaces and finishing of all parking garage structures.
OCP Amendment Justification:
The change in land use from Medium and High-Rise Residential to Town Centre Commercial allows
for a mixed-use development with a broad range of uses. The Town Centre Commercial land use
- 7 -
designation is a predominant designation in the Civic Core Precinct, whereas the Medium and High-
Rise Residential is limited to 13 properties, nine of which are proposed to be amended through this
rezoning application. Lands to the east, west, and south of the subject properties are currently
designated Town Centre Commercial and will have a complementary interface with the subject
development. Lands on the north side of 119 Avenue are designated Medium and High-Rise
Residential; however, as both land uses are similar in height and use, the OCP amendment is not
anticipated to be a significant departure from the current land use. The OCP amendment is
anticipated to create a more integrated and connected retail district that creates a continuation of
shops and services between the existing Haney Place and Valley Fair malls.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at 22626, 22634, 22640
and 22648 119 Avenue; 22615, 22625, 22633, 22639, and 22647 Selkirk Avenue from RS-1 (One
Family Urban Residential) to C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to permit future construction of three six
storey mixed-use commercial and residential buildings.
The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668 m2, and the
minimum lot size for the proposed C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone is 186 m2. Any variations
from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit application is required for
all multi-family residential, flexible mixed-use and commercial development located in the Town
Centre. This proposal and is subject to the following Key Guideline concepts of the Civic Core
Precinct:
1. Promote the Civic Core as the “heart” of the Town Centre
2. Create a pedestrian-oriented, boutique style shopping district
3. Reference traditional architectural styles
4. Capitalize on important views
5. Enhance existing and cultural activities and public open space
6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features
7. Maintain street interconnectivity
Housing Action Plan:
The provision of rental apartments secured in perpetuity with a Housing Agreement on the subject
properties would not only assist in implementing the Housing Action Plan, but would also achieve the
following OCP policies:
Policy 3-31 Maple Ridge supports the provision of rental accommodation and encourages the
construction of rental units that vary in size and number of bedrooms. Maple Ridge may
also limit the demolition or strata conversion of existing rental units, unless District-wide
vacancy rates are within a healthy range as defined by the Canada Mortgage and
Housing Corporation.
Policy 3-32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing
throughout the District. Where appropriate, the provision of affordable, rental, and
special needs housing will be a component of area plans.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Town Centre Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to Second Reading.
- 8 -
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20. The applicant will be asked to invite the Downtown Business Improvement Association (BIA),
as it is anticipated this significant project will be of interest to them.
f) 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) Licenses, Permits & Bylaws Department;
d) Fire Department;
e) Building Department;
f) Parks Department; and
g) School District.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time ;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will
take place between first and second reading.
g) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it
is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed
OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment.
h) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); and
3. A Town Centre Development Permit Application (Schedule D).
- 9 -
In addition, this development will also require lot consolidation and a rental housing agreement to
secure the rental units; submission of a tree cutting permit, 3-tier stormwater management plan,
public art, electric vehicle charging stations, and construction of adaptive units. Additionally, the
provision of a strong east-west pedestrian corridor through the site and along Selkirk Avenue to
improved pedestrian connectivity between Haney Place Mall and Valley Fair Mall. The above list is
intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the
proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. The
development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP. Justification has been provided
to support an OCP amendment to Town Centre Commercial. It is, therefore, recommended that
Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to
second reading.

SUBJECT: Second Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6914-2012
11055 Hazelwood Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Rezoning Application 2012-031-RZ is to rezone from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to M-3
(Business Park) to permit industrial development in a Business Park format.
On October 9, 2012, Council gave this application first reading under Bylaw No. 6914-2012, as
outlined in the following resolution:
That Bylaw 6914-2012 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B, D, E, and F of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No 5879-1999.
The Development Procedures Bylaw outlines all pertinent applications and required information in
the application process. As discussed in the Council resolution:
Schedule B is for a rezoning application;
Schedule D is for a development permit application;
Schedule E is for a development variance permit;
Schedule F is for a watercourse protection development permit application.
In compliance with Council’s direction, the applicant has provided more detailed consultant reports,
including Geotechnical Assessment and Traffic Assessment reports. At this October 9, 2012
meeting, Council also expressed concern over the potential for retail uses to be located on this site,
as these uses are permitted in the M-3 Business Park Zone. More discussion on this issue follows
in in this report.
Prior to granting first reading, Council requested that the applicant meet with residents of Lower
Hammond to clarify development implications of this proposal as it related to amenity provisions
such as a multi-purpose trail and the interface between industrial and residential users. This
information has been provided and community involvement has been incorporated into the approval
process.
This proposal will proceed in two phases. Phase one is the development of a lot pattern for a
business park, on the north portion of the property. The proposed subdivision will create parcels
conducive to the construction of multi-tenanted structures suitable for small to medium sized
businesses, with tenures of either leasehold or strata title ownership. Phase 2 involves the southern

Existing Use of Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of Property: Business Park
Site Area: 16.637 HA (41.1 acres)
Access: Hazelwood Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is within the 200 year flood plain of the Fraser River. For this reason,
requirements for flood construction levels would apply to any new structures on the site. The most
recent active use of the subject property was for agricultural purposes (1938-2004), although the
site was never within the Agricultural Land Reserve and its Industrial land use designation has been
in place for 2 decades or more. The irregularly shaped subject property is located in the southwest
corner of Maple Ridge near the Golden Ears Bridge.
Since 1981, there have been 5 applications for rezoning of the subject property, although none were
completed. The most recent application, (RZ/057/07) was made by South Coast BC Transportation
Authority (Translink). The Translink proposal, pertaining to the southern part of the subject site, was
for a “Combined Bus Fleet Overhaul Facility and Heavy Equipment Training Facility”. As site
preparation for this project, a significant amount of fill was placed on this portion of the subject site
in 2008, where it remains. However, the application was withdrawn in 2009.
The site is adjacent to the lower Hammond residential neighbourhood to its east, and industrial
development to its north. To its west is the Golden Ears Bridge and vacant land designated
Industrial that is owned by Translink.
c) Project Description:
This application proposes to rezone the site at 11055 Hazelwood Street (Appendix A) from RS-3 (One
Family Rural Residential) to M-3 (Business Park) to allow for the creation of a business park, aimed
at the needs of small to mid-size industrial users on the north portion of the site.
It is anticipated that the southern portion of the site will be developed to accommodate one larger
industrial tenant, and a process is in place to attract a suitable tenant. However, it is possible that
this portion could also be subdivided at some later date with a development pattern similar to that
proposed on the northern portion.
- 4 -
This application is subject to a Watercourse Protection Development Permit. Before construction
commences on a lot, the need for an Industrial Development Permit will be triggered. An Official
Community Plan amendment will not be required as the habitat conservation area will be protected
through a covenant.
The applicant intends to address the interface between these two uses with trail networks,
landscape buffering with sound mitigation and a stormwater management plan that accommodates
onsite and adjacent stormwater.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Hammond Area. The subject property is designated
Industrial, Business Park category, which provides for a range of industrial uses and services, with an
emphasis on landscaping and design. This rezoning application is therefore consistent with the
Industrial designation of the subject property.
Hammond Area Plan Review
The property is within the study are for the Hammond Area Plan, which is currently underway.
Changes to the land use designation of the subject property are not being contemplated as a result
of this review. For this reason, the application is supportable.
Commercial and Industrial Strategy
The Maple Ridge Commercial and Industrial Strategy was endorsed by Council in August 2014. The
Strategy commenced in 2012 in recognition of the role of employment generating lands in providing
employment and needed goods and services within the community.
The Strategy notes that based on forecasted population growth and demand for industrial land
supply, Maple Ridge will require between 69 to 93 hectares (170 to 230 acres) of additional
industrial land in order to meet demand. The subject property is 16.6 hectares (41 acres) and
therefore constitutes a significant portion of the City’s inventory of designated industrial land. Due to
its proximity to transportation networks, the subject property is within the community’s most
strategically located designated industrial land base.
In addition to business park development, the permitted uses in the M-3 (Business Park) Zone
include large format (big box) retail. In recognition of the forecasted shortage of industrial land
supply within the community, a recommendation of the Strategy is to remove large retail as a
permitted use in the M-3 (Business Park) Zone, in order to retain these lands for their intended
economic function.
As there are no structures and no form and character development permits being required for this
application, there is potential for other permitted uses such as large format retail to be located there,
once the site is rezoned. This possibility is of some concern as it may erode the City’s ability to meet
its future demand for industrial land supply. On this basis, a recommended condition of this
rezoning application is the registration of a restrictive covenant that would limit the amount of retail
that could be developed on the site.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 11055 Hazelwood Street from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to M-3 (Business Park) to permit 11 lots. The minimum lot size
for the current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zone is 8000 m2, (2 acres) and the minimum lot
- 5 -
size for the proposed M-3 Business Park Zone is 2000 m2 (half acre). Any variations from the
requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
This application will conclude with a subdivision application. As no structures are being proposed at
this time, the usual requirement for a form and character development permit will not apply to this
application. However, once building permits are applied for on the subject property, this requirement
will be triggered, pursuant to Section 8.6 of the OCP, to ensure that the current proposal meets the
needs of industry, through attractive design.
To ensure compatibility with adjacent development, the applicant has provided a landscape plan that
includes multi-purpose trails and sound attenuation. Cost estimates along with securities to do the
works will be required as part of the required Watercourse Protection Development Permit. Pursuant
to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, this development permit application is required for all
developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and
wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is based on the principles
outlined in the Stream Protection Regulations to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and
enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas.
The City of Maple Ridge Parks and Leisure Services staff and the Planning Department Environment
section have reviewed the landscape plan for the multiple objectives it is trying to achieve, which
include stormwater management, enhanced aquatic habitat, and new recreational opportunities.
Facets of the plan include the integration of bio-filtration opportunities within the conservation areas
and compensation areas both on site and off site along the west side and on the north side of the
main property within the portion of the site that will include recreational areas.
These habitat features are identified as compensation areas designed for aquatic habitat featuring
complexity mechanisms including meandering channels, undulating topographic features with
deeper pool sections and wetlands built within the ponds. This design should require minimum
maintenance to avoid disturbance of aquatic species and long-term habitat integrity.
More design details about how the landscape plan and its maintenance program can meet these
multiple objectives will need to be developed prior to final reading. This approach will require the
integrated inputs of qualified professionals including the landscape architect, engineer, and
environmental professional. In addition, as this portion of the site will be protected through a
restrictive covenant, the applicant will need to set up a Local Area Service for its ongoing
maintenance.
Advisory Design Panel:
As no construction is proposed at this point, a form and character development permit is not
required, and therefore, there is no need for a review by the Advisory Design Panel. Prior to
construction on each lot, an Industrial Development Permit will be required, along with a review by
the Advisory Design Panel.
Development Information Meeting:
The need for a development information meeting is triggered when a rezoning application includes
an amendment to the Official Community Plan, or is a residential development of 25 dwelling units
or more. This application is therefore exempt from this requirement.
However, the applicant has met with local residents and in response to concerns received, has
integrated stormwater management, trail networks, and sound attenuation into the landscape plan.
- 6 -
These multiple objectives provide both amenities and an interface to buffer potential conflicts
between adjacent uses.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Referrals have been sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed
below:
a) Engineering Department; (comments have been provided)
b) Operations Department; (no concerns noted) and
c) Fire Department; (no concerns noted),
Engineering Department
Comments noted by the Engineering Department in support of this application include transportation
improvements such as the construction of an off-site traffic circle to address access and traffic
issues. The suggested location for this traffic circle at this time is 113B Avenue and Kingston Street.
This improvement will involve dedication from other properties, and the City of Maple Ridge is
working to address this acquisition of property for this purpose. Additional required improvements
include the construction of a sidewalk for the connector road from Kingston Street to Wharf Street,
and sidewalks and/or trails for Hazelwood Street, Wharf Street as a condition of subdivision.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council
grant second reading and forward this application to Public Hearing. It should be noted, however,
that the proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer.

2) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property on 12420 Ansell Street from RS-3 (One Family
Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to allow for a two lot subdivision. The
applicant is proposing to maintain the existing home on the western lot (see Appendix A).
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Estate Suburban Residential in the OCP, located outside of the
City’s urban area boundary, but within the Region’s Urban Containment Boundary and the Fraser
Sewerage Area.
The land use designation permits a single detached housing form located outside of the urban area
boundary. As indicated in Appendix C of the OCP, the RS-2 (one Family Suburban Residential) zone
is permitted in the Estate Suburban Residential designation. Municipal water is required in this
- 3 -
zone; and properties in this designation may be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer, due to their
location in the Fraser Sewerage Area.
The surrounding neighbourhood context is comprised of properties also designated Estate Suburban
Residential. It is anticipated that the long term development of the area will be to a suburban level
and style of development, with overall densities of one dwelling unit per 0.4 ha (1 acre). The subject
application is therefore in compliance with the OCP.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit future subdivision into two single
family lots (see Appendix B). The proposed development meets the minimum zoning requirements
for the RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone, which include: a minimum lot size of 0.4 ha (1
acre), a minimum width of 36 metres and a minimum depth of 60 metres (see Appendix C). A
variance for road carriage way and right-of-way width will be required as discussed below.
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application will be required to allow a reduced road width from the
required 7.0 metres for the existing roads; to 6.3 metres on Ansell Street and 6.0 metres on 124
Avenue. The road has adequate capacity to support the subdivision and all required services can fit
in the smaller right-of-way, and therefore supported by the Engineering Department, as the existing
road is adequate to accommodate traffic flows in the area.
4) Environmental Implications:
The Stormwater Management Plan shows a proposed infiltration pit and soil amendments on site. A
storm water covenant will be needed, together with a final sign off from the engineer of record that
topsoil amendments have been proposed to ensure the works have been completed to design
standards.
5) Agricultural Impact:
The property to the east is agricultural land. Letts Environmental Consultants prepared an
Agricultural Impact Assessment report on December 2, 2014, and a Tree Inventory report on January
28, 2015. There will be a 6m ALR buffer on the east side of the property, adjacent to the agricultural
land, as well as a 3m ALR buffer to the south side of the property. A restrictive covenant is required
to preserve the two ALR buffer areas.
The new lot will be serviced from Ansell Street, instead of 124 Avenue to maintain a rural servicing
level outside of the Urban Area Boundary for agricultural lands beyond.
6) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has reviewed the development plans and has determined that all off-
site services exist for the rezoning application requirements; therefore a Rezoning Servicing
Agreement is not required. All on-site servicing improvements will be necessary prior to subdivision
approval.
- 4 -
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal is in compliance with the OCP and consistent with earlier development
patterns in the Academy Park area, it is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7115-2014, and that application 2014-091-RZ be forwarded to Public
Hearing.

SUBJECT: Wildfire Development Permit Update
First Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7187-2015
Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7233-2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 28, 2014, Council approved Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7101-2014
and Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7102-2014 for the Wildfire Development Permit
Guidelines. At that time, there was also a commitment made to report back to Council one year
after adoption. Since the adoption of the bylaws, several development applications have been
subject to the Wildfire Development Permit and staff and the consultants have had an opportunity to
further evaluate the program. For the most part, the Wildfire Development Permit has been
successful; however, there have been some challenges in applying the Wildfire Development Permit
Guidelines as they were originally written. Specifically, the guidelines refer to compliance with the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, which have proven to be significantly
restrictive, resulting in potential reductions to development potential within the Wildfire
Development Permit Area and substantially increased construction costs.
The following report provides an update on the Wildfire Development Permit and includes
recommendations intended to fine-tune the policy. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No.
7187-2015 and Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7233-2016 are intended to amend
the recently adopted bylaws to remove the references to the NFPA Standards and make the
Development Procedures Schedule J consistent with the other schedules within the bylaw.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7187-2015 be given first reading;
2.That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7187-2015 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. 7187-2015 is
consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
1107
- 2 -
4. In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during
the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider
whether consultation is required with specifically:
i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that additional consultation be required with the Urban
Development Institute and Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association via the Maple Ridge
UDIGVHBA Liaison Committee, and the Maple Ridge Builders’ Forum prior to second reading ,
in addition to the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the
City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
5. That Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7233-2016 be given first and second
reading.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
In 2004, the Provincial Government recommended that all communities undertake a Community
Wildfire Risk Assessment and funding was established to help municipalities pay for this work.
A Maple Ridge Wildfire Risk Assessment and a Wildfire Protection Plan were produced for the City in
2007. These documents discussed the risk of wildfire in Maple Ridge and the Plan provided the
following context in the executive summary:
“The District of Maple Ridge is embedded within the forest; approximately 60% of
the community is forested. This region of the Province is susceptible to both
lightning and human caused fires. Overall, the community could be classified with
a fire risk profile described by a low to moderate fire probability and high to
extreme consequences based on the values at risk.”
The Community Wildfire Protection Plan provided 21 recommendations on:
Risk assessment;
Education and communication;
Structure protection;
Emergency response;
Training
Fuel management; and
Post fire rehabilitation.
- 3 -
On July 10, 2007, Council passed the following resolution:
“That the recommendations contained in the Community Wildfire Protection Plan be
adopted in principle pending the development of a detailed implementation plan
with an associated financial plan which will be brought back to Council for their
consideration and adoption; and
That staff be instructed to make application to the Union of British Columbia
Municipalities for grant funding to develop an implementation plan for the
Community Wildfire Protection Plan recommendations.”
In the Fall of 2007, Maple Ridge was awarded a grant for the development of municipal wildfire
legislation. At that time, a staff working group was formed with representatives from Fire, Planning,
Engineering, Operations, Building, and Parks and Leisure Services Departments to develop a draft
Wildfire Development Permit. During that time, staff worked together to ensure the draft
incorporated:
risk mitigation measures;
a process that would work concurrently and in concert with existing related regulations; and
built-in flexibility to allow for alternative options that effectively mitigate risk.
At the January 7, 2013 Council Workshop, Council raised concerns with the technical aspects of the
boundaries of the Wildfire Development Permit Area and the potential costs that would be incurred
by the development community and referred the Wildfire Development Permit back to staff. A peer
review was conducted and it was determined that the methodology used to prepare the Wildfire
Development Permit Area was sound and that the forests around Whonnock Lake and Webster’s
Corner should also be included in the Wildfire Development Permit Area.
Over the course of developing the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines, four consultation
events occurred in 2012, and one in 2014 when the boundaries were revised to include the forests
around Whonnock Lake and Webster’s Corner. On May 27, 2014, Council passed a resolution
directing staff to prepare the bylaws for the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines. A Public
Hearing for the Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7101-2014 was held on October 21,
2014. The Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7101-2014 and Development Procedures
Amending Bylaw No. 7102-2014 received third and final reading on October 28, 2014. The areas
included within the Wildfire Development Permit Area are not proposed to change as a result of this
report.
b) Update:
The Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines were originally written to be as flexible as possible with
built-in exemptions and options if the requirements were not feasible. The requirements to meet the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards referenced made it difficult to develop within
the Wildfire Development Permit Area without significantly reducing the developable area or
significantly increasing the cost of building. This was not the intent of the Wildfire Development
Permit Guidelines.
- 4 -
In addition, staff have identified concerns with the NFPA standards, noting that they often conflict
with the Official Community Plan Silver Valley Area Plan, which was developed through extensive
public consultation in 1994 and adopted in 1996. Examples of Development Principles from the
Silver Valley Area Plan that conflict with the NFPA and FireSmart principles include:
Plan compact housing clusters as a solution to preserving natural environments and
significant vegetation.
Promote patterns and forms of development that allow for retention of existing mature trees
and vegetation.
Adopt road and street types and standards that limit speed, fit to topography and minimize
impervious areas.
Utilize reduced road width to achieve traffic calming, reduced site consumption, and
maintenance of the desired rural character.
Encourage unpaved, shared driveways and narrow paved lanes to housing clusters to
minimize paved areas.
Since the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines were adopted on October 28, 2014, twelve
Wildfire Development Permit applications have been received and three have been approved. Of
the twelve Wildfire Hazard Assessment reports that have been provided by consultants to the City, 9
have been prepared by Diamond Head Consultants Ltd. and 3 have been prepared by B.A. Blackwell
and Associates. Both consultants have expressed concern with preparing Wildfire Hazard
Assessment reports in accordance with the NFPA standards.
The main examples of NFPA code requirements that conflict with the Silver Valley Area Plan
Development Principles and/or Zoning Bylaw No. 3510–1985 siting regulations include the
following:
Building Separation:
Issue
During the Development of the Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines, there was always an
awareness that establishing separation distances in the bylaw could be problematic. NFPA 1141
requires that any building shall be separated from another building by at least 9.1 metres (30 ft.)
and shall be set back at least 9.1 metres (30 ft.) from a property line.
The FireSmart Protecting Your Community from Wildfire manual requires a minimum of 15 to 20
metres of space separating dwellings to minimize the spread of fire. Current Zoning Bylaw siting
requirements are as follows:
Zone Interior Side
Setback
Front Setback Rear Setback
R-1 Residential District 1.2 m (4 ft.) 5.5 m (18 ft.) 8.0 m (26 ft.)
R-2 Urban Residential District 1.2 m (4 ft.) 3.0 m (10 ft.) 8.0 m (26 ft.)
R-3 Special Amenity Residential District 1.2 m (4 ft.) 3.0 m (10 ft.) 6.0 m (20 ft.)
- 5 -
The Fire Chief at the time had indicated a comfort in using his discretion when considering
alternatives to the NFPA standards. However, when reviewing the Wildfire Hazard assessments,
concerns with variances and liability have since arisen from staff and the consultants.
Recommendation
The proposed alternative to the siting requirements is to manage the building construction materials
at wildfire interfaces and provide landscaping treatment within the different priority zones. This is
addressed through the proposed revisions to the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines (see
Appendix A). The FireSmart Homeowner’s Manual provides guidance for how to reduce the risk of
wildfire hazard with respect to building construction and landscaping treatments.
Access:
Issue
NFPA 1141 requires a minimum clear width of 3.7 metres (12 ft.) for each lane of travel, excluding
shoulders and parking, which conflicts with the Road Cross Sections identified in the Maple Ridge
Supplementary Standard Detail Drawings. The typical lanes of travel for arterial and collector roads
range from 3.4 metres (11 ft.) in typical areas, to 3.1 metres (10 ft.) in Silver Valley areas. In
addition, when vehicles are parked on both sides of a local road, the width does not accommodate
the ability for two vehicles to pass and requires drivers to yield to oncoming vehicles.
Recommendation
As an alternative for developments with a single access, the Registered Professional Forester, in
consultation with the Project Engineer, will be required to identify strategic locations to provide
passing lanes within Wildfire Development Permit Areas. This is addressed through the proposed
revisions to the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines (see Appendix A).
Building Materials:
Issue
NFPA 1144 requires exterior vertical walls to “meet the requirements for heavy timber construction,
ignition-resistive material, fire-retardant-treated wood, or be a minimum 20 minute fire-rated
assembly where walls are potentially exposed to a wildland fire”. FireSmart recommends that “any
material used for siding purposes should be fire-resistant, such as stucco, metal siding, brick,
cement shingles, concrete block, poured concrete and rock. Siding material should be at least 12
millimetres thick and extend from ground level to the roofline.”
When the Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines were initially under review, developers had a
concern with the additional cost of ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials for the exterior
cladding. Since the adoption of the Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines, the option of using
vinyl siding with external sprinklers has been considered and deemed unsuitable. Upon further
review, the logistics of managing the external sprinklers and the lack of reference standards for
installation of such sprinklers made the option unfeasible. It was also problematic to ensure there
would be the capacity to run the external sprinklers without impacting the water pressure and
storage capacity required for Fire Department suppression needs.
- 6 -
In the interim, serious wildfires in the country illustrated the importance of target-hardening
buildings, noting that vinyl siding easily melts, exposing combustible building materials which
catches fire.
Recommendation
It is recommended that exterior elevations exposed to the wildfire interface be constructed of
ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials (i.e. stucco, metal siding, brick, cement shingles,
cement board, concrete block, poured concrete, concrete composite, rock and logs or heavy timber).
The approximate cost of installing vinyl siding ranges from $2.40 -$3.10 per square foot. The
approximate cost of installing non-combustible hardie board and rainscreen ranges from $5.75-
$6.75 per square foot. A typical rear elevation of an R-1 sized home, minus the windows, is
approximately 530 ft², so the difference in cost for this example could range from $1,400.00 to
$2,300.00. This amount would vary, depending on the size of the home and number of elevations
that are exposed to the wildfire interface.
Additional Proposed Revisions:
In addition to the revisions to the Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines described above, a
minor revision to Section 8.4, Development Permit Area Exemptions is proposed to exclude a single-
family home Building Permit from requiring a Wildfire Hazard Development Permit, as long as a
restrictive covenant is registered on title, specifying the building design, siting, landscaping and
open space requirements, as specified in the guidelines.
Schedule J of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 is also proposed to be amended
to include the requirement for the application form and fee and to remove the details of the Wildfire
Hazard Assessment report (see Appendix B) and to provide these details as a separate hand-out for
applicants. This practice is consistent with other technical report guidelines, such as Geotechnical
Reports or Agricultural Impact Assessments.
c) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended additional consultation is conducted with the Urban
Development Institute and Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association via the Maple Ridge
UDIGVHBA Liaison Committee, and the Maple Ridge Builders’ Forum, prior to second reading, in
addition to the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with
an invitation to the public to comment.
CONCLUSION:
As with current City practice, this report represents a review of the Wildfire Development Permit that
was adopted in 2014. Since that time, the City has reviewed twelve Wildfire Hazard Assessment
Reports and has had an opportunity to review the Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines. For the
most part, the Wildlfire Development Permit has been successful; however, there have been
challenges in applying the Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines as they were originally written.
Specifically, the guidelines refer to compliance with the NFPA standards, which have proven to be
- 7 -
significantly restrictive, resulting in potential reductions to development potential within the Wildfire
Development Permit Area and substantially increased construction costs.
The proposed amendments to the Official Community Plan Wildfire Development Permit Area
Guidelines, Exemptions and Development Procedures Bylaw Schedule J will help to reduce the
difficulty in applying NFPA standards and provide greater flexibility when reviewing development
applications, while still offering a satisfactory measure of risk management for wildfire events.
It is recommended that Council grant first reading to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No.
7187-2015 and first and second reading to Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7233-
2016.

CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE
BYLAW NO.7187-2015
A Bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan
_______________________________________
WHEREAS the Local Government Act empowers a local government to adopt or amend an
Official Community Plan;
AND WHEREAS it is deemed desirable to amend Schedule "A" to the Official Community
Plan;
NOW THEREFORE, the Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge, enacts as follows:
1.This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Maple Ridge Official Community Plan
Amending Bylaw No.7187-2015."
2.Section 8.4 Development Permit Area Exemptions, Item 4 is replaced with the
following:
“4. A Wildfire Development Permit is not required under the following circumstances:
a)For an addition or renovation to any existing building in the municipality where the
value of the work indicated on the building permit application does not exceed 50%
of the assessed value of the improvements on the property on the date of the

two residential lots. A restrictive covenant detailing building design and landscaping
requirements will be required for these types of developments within the Wildfire
Development Permit Area.
d)For non-residential farm buildings, provided that they are sited at least 10 metres
away from any residential building(s) and wildfire interface. If within 10 metres, then
a restrictive covenant detailing building design and landscaping requirements will be
required for these types of developments within the Wildfire Development Permit
Area.
APPENDIX A
e) For public works and services and maintenance activities carried out by, or on behalf
of, the City.
f) For any construction of a building or structure or any alteration of land that does not
require a permit from the City.”
3. Section 8.12 Wildfire Development Permit Guidelines, Subsection 8.12.1 Key
Guideline Concepts and 8.12.2 Guidelines, Items A-D are replaced with the
following:
“Intent
The Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines are intended for the protection of life and
property in designated areas that could be at risk of wildfire and where this risk, in some
cases, may be reasonably abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary
measures.
A Development Permit will be required for all development and subdivision activity or
building permits for areas identified as Wildfire Risk Areas identified on Map 1: Wildfire
Development Permit Area. A Development Permit may not be required under certain
circumstances indicated in the Development Permit Exemptions, Section 8.4, Item 4. These
Development Permit Guidelines are to work in concert with all other regulations, guidelines
and bylaws in effect.
8.12.1 Key Guideline Concepts
The intent of the Key Guideline Concepts is to ensure that development within the Wildfire
Development Permit Area is managed to minimize the risk to property and people from
wildfire urban interface hazards and to further reduce the risk of potential post-fire
landslides and debris flows.
Applications for Wildfire Development Permits will be assessed against the following key
guideline concepts:
1. Locate development on individual sites so that, when integrated with the use of
mitigating construction techniques and landscape management practices, the risk of
wildfire hazards is reduced;
2. Mitigate wildfire impacts while respecting environmental conservation objectives and
other hazards in the area;
3. Ensure identified hazard areas are recognized and addressed within each stage of the
land development process; and
4. Manage the interface forest fuel components, including vegetation and structures,
thereby increasing the probability of successful fire suppression, containment and
minimize adverse impacts.
8.12.2 Guidelines
The design and construction of buildings and structures located within the boundaries of th e
Wildfire Development Permit Area shall be in accordance with the following key guidelines.
Additional details can be found in the BC Wildfire Service FireSmart manuals.
The City may consider alternative design and construction solutions if the alternative
solution meets the intent of these guidelines.
A. Subdivision Design and Construction
1. The development building face should be located a minimum of 10 metres away from
the adjacent forest interface. This 10 metre distance (Priority Zone 1) should be created
between all sides of the foundation and the forest interface (vegetation shall be
modified to mitigate hazardous conditions within 10 metres of the foundations prior to
the start of construction). The treatment within Priority Zone 1 may include: treating fuel
on the existing parcel; developing a trail as a part of the Priority Zone; or including an
environmental and geotechnical setback, if such treatment is mutually beneficial to the
intent of the setback areas and FireSmart principles.
2. Priority Zone 1 may incorporate cleared parks, roads, or trails to meet the 10 metre
distance requirement.
3. Development shall be set back a minimum of 10 metres from the top of ridgelines, cliffs
or ravines. Variations may be considered if a wildfire hazard assessment can justify a
change in the setback distance.
4. Where the City requires fire hydrants within a development, these must be fully
functional prior to construction above the foundation level.
5. For subdivisions where a secondary access is not provided and an emergency Utility
Vehicle (UTV) trail system is planned as an alternative, the trail access must be
constructed with a 1.5 metre trail width and a minimum height and width of 2 metres
cleared of vegetation, with pullouts for passing and turnaround every 500 metres, where
appropriate. In areas where a 30 metre environmental setback is required, the City may
consider including the trail within the 30 metre setback; however, it must be located
outside of a 15 metre watercourse setback from the top of bank. Trails or turnaround
points must consider appropriate design measures for protecting environmentally
sensitive and/or geotechnical sensitive areas.
6. Access points suitable for evacuation and the movement of emergency response
equipment must be provided. The number of access points and their capacity should be
determined during subdivision design. Two means of access are preferred for
subdivisions in a Wildfire Development Permit Area. If two access points are not
possible, then the single access must have the capability of accommodating two fire
trucks - each with a width of 2.9 metres – safely passing each other at strategic
locations.
B. Building Design and Siting
1. Locate building sites on the flattest areas of the property and avoid gullies or draws that
accumulate fuel and funnel winds.
2. Steep roofs and closed or screened gutters are preferred in order to prevent the
collection of leaves or needles, and to reduce the risk of ember shower accumulation.
3. Buildings must comply with the requirements listed below. Accessory buildings located
within the Wildfire Development Permit Area must meet the same building standards as
the principal residence.
Roofing Materials
a) Roof materials shall have a Class A or B fire resistance rating as defined in the current
British Columbia Building Code, as amended. Examples of typical Class A or B roofing
products include, but are not limited to: asphalt shingles, metal, concrete tile, clay tile,
synthetic, slate, and hybrid composite materials. Note: Wood shakes and shingles are
not acceptable, unless certified to Class A or B.
Exterior Cladding
a) Exterior cladding on elevations adjacent to the wildfire interface shall be constructed
of ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials such as: stucco, metal siding, brick,
cement shingles, cement board, concrete block, poured concrete, concrete composite,
rock and logs or heavy timber.
b) Decorative construction features, such as fascia, trim board materials and trim
accents, are exempted from this requirement, to a maximum of 10% per elevation.
Overhanging Projections and Cantilevered Floors
a) Overhanging projections attached to buildings and their support (i.e. decks, balconies,
porches, structural columns, and beams) shall be constructed of heavy timber
construction, ignition-resistant or non-combustible materials, similar to those allowed
in the “Exterior Cladding” section above.
b) The underside of all exposed floors (i.e. underside of balconies, decks and porches)
shall be sheathed or skirted with fire-resistant materials, similar to those allowed in the
“Exterior Cladding” section above.
c) The underside of all cantilevered floors (i.e. bay windows, hutches, and window seats)
shall be protected with fire-resistant materials and have the floor system fire-blocked
at the exterior wall plane.
d) Areas under overhang projections must be kept clear of debris.
Exterior Doors and Windows
a) Exterior doors and garage doors shall be constructed of non-combustible materials (i.e.
metal clad, solid core wood or have a 20 minute fire protection rating), and must meet
the requirements of the North American Fenestration Standard (NAFS).
b) Exterior windows and glazing within doors exposed to the wildfire interface and
skylights shall be tempered glass, multi-layer glazing, or have a fire protection rating of
not less than 20 minutes, and must meet the requirements of the NAFS. Openable
windows shall be covered with non-combustible, corrosion-resistant screens.
Eaves, Soffits and Vents
a) All eaves and ventilation openings in exterior walls, roofs, and soffits shall be covered
with non-combustible, 3 millimetre corrosion-resistant wire mesh, or be designed to
prevent flame or ember penetration into the structure.
b) Eaves and soffits shall be constructed of ignition-resistant or non-combustible
materials.
Chimney
a) Spark arrestor screens are required on all wood-burning appliances.
C. Landscaping and Open Spaces
1. Landscaping within the 10 metre Priority Zone 1 should be designed based on FireSmart
landscaping standards to ensure minimal fuel loading within the landscaped areas and
provide ongoing resistance to wildfire. The type and density of fire resistive plantings
incorporated within landscaped areas will assist in mitigating the wildfire hazard.
2. Removal of all debris (wood and vegetation) after land clearing for development must be
completed prior to the approval of any new subdivision plan.
3. A landscaping security may be required for landscaping works in accordance with the
Maple Ridge Landscape Security Policy No. 6.28.”
4. Subsection 8.12.2 Guidelines, Item E be renumbered accordingly.
5. Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 as amended is hereby amended
accordingly.

b) Project Description:
The subject property is located at the northeast corner of 122 Avenue and 228 Street and is
relatively flat (see Appendix A). The applicant proposes to rezone and subdivide the subject property
into four single family lots. Three lots will front onto 228 Street, and the fourth lot will front onto 122
Avenue. Each newly created lot will have a detached carport or garage, and all four lots will be
accessed via a lane running north-south.
c) Planning Analysis:
Town Centre Area Plan
The subject property is designated Single Family Residential in the Town Centre Area Plan, Section
10.4 of the OCP. This designation provides options for increasing density and choice of housing
form, while retaining the single family character in established neighbourhood blocks. The R-3
(Special Amenity Residential District) zone is compatible with this designation. This development will
create a more compact single family development pattern along 228 Street, while providing a
transition in density from multi-family housing on the west side of 228 Street to the larger single
family lots outside of the Town Centre Area Plan to the east. The current proposal is consistent with
the following policies of the Town Centre Area Plan:
Policy 5-9
Maple Ridge will encourage the retention of laneways and the creation of new laneways should be
considered, where appropriate and feasible.
Policy 5-10
Laneways should have a maximum paved width of 6 metres.
Policy 5-11
Access to both underground and surface parking areas is encouraged to be provided off a laneway.
- 3 -
A new lane will be constructed as part of the development, and will have a paved width of 6.75
metres, to accommodate a 7.5m wide lane when subdivision continues going north. Originally the
proposed lane was 6m wide, as to requirements at that point in time. Even though the rezoning
application had third reading at the time of adopting the new Subdivision and Development Servicing
Bylaw, the applicant agreed to facilitate a 6.75m wide lane.
Intensive Residential Development Permit
An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all residential development at densities
greater than 30 units per net hectare, and zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District). The
Section 8.8 Intensive Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community
Plan aim to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built
environment while protecting important qualities of the natural environment, with the intent to
provide an environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly and environmentally responsive.
The key guideline concepts for the Intensive Residential Development Permit Area are as follows:
1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design of
varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in landscapes
and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices.
Each lot has its own house design yet is compatible in materials used and architectural styles.
2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by
maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the rear
of a property accessible by a lane.
Each lot in the proposed subdivision will have access to a lane fronting on 122 Avenue, with garages
and parking pads located in the rear of each proposed lot.
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. Subdivision and Development Services Amending Bylaw No. 7093-2014, Schedule C –
Required Right-of-Way Widths: To reduce the minimum width for a Standard Lane, from 7.5
metres to 6.75 metres for the subject property located 12240 228 Street.
Policies 5-9 and 5-10 in the Town Centre Area Plan envision creation of new laneways where
appropriate and feasible with a 6 metre wide paved carriageway. The right of way width to
accommodate the envisioned carriageway, services and utilities is 7.5 metres wide. There was initial
discussion about a 6 metre carriage way within a 6 metre wide right-of-way. However, it was
determined that this would not be appropriate or feasible because the carriageway and services
could not be accommodated within such a narrow width. As the application was well underway, it
was determined that the services can fit in this instance within a 6.75 metres width. However, to
permit orderly development of the Town Centre laneway system, the full right-of-way width of 7.5
metres is necessary when the lane is extended northward in the future though the block. Therefore,
the variance can be justified. An application to the north has been received (2016-209-RZ), which
will provide the necessary 7.5 metre wide right-of way.
- 4 -
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:
As the development proposal complies with the Intensive Residential Development Permit Area
guidelines of the Official Community Plan for form and character, it is recommended that 2011-130-
DP be given favourable consideration.
The proposed subject variance is supportable because the required services can fit within the
proposed 6.75 metre wide paved lane. It is recommended that this application be favourably
considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit
2013-011-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
11716 Burnett Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2014-110-DVP has been received in conjunction with a
rezoning and subdivision application to permit future subdivision into 3 single family lots. The
requested variance is to:
1.Reduce the Urban Collector road right-of-way standard from 20 metres to 17 metres.
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2014-110-RZ on July 26, 2016.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2014-110-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2014-110-DVP respecting property located
at 11716 Burnett Street.

Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Site Area: 0.149 HA. (0.37 acres)
Access: 117 Ave
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Project Description:
This application supports the proposal 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
residential lots. All driveway access is proposed to be off 117 Avenue.
The subject property is approximately 1,490m2 (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 and B). The proposed lots will
be a minimum of 468 m2 (see Appendix C)
c) Variance Analysis:
The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw establishes general regulations for development
servicing of lands. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below:
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 7093-2014, Schedule C – Required Right-
of-Way Widths: To reduce the minimum width for an Urban Collector Street from 20m wide to
17m wide, for Burnett Street.
The applicant is dedicating 1 metre on Burnett Street as a condition of rezoning to allow for the 17m
wide carriage way. The requested reduction from 20 metres to 17 metres is supportable because the
resulting right-of-way width would be consistent with the road already constructed in the area.
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.
- 3 -
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance is supported because the property to the west side is developed, and the
carriageway on Burnett Street is already constructed to a Collector standard.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2014-110-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
10480 248 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2016-174-DVP has been received to construct two
retaining walls of greater height than permitted in the Zoning Bylaw, on the subject property, located
at 10480 248 Street (see Appendices A and B). This application will support the final phase of
rezoning application 2011-134-RZ for RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to create a 64 unit multi-family
development. The rezoning application received final approval on November 4, 2014. The over–
height retaining walls are needed to manage significant slopes on the subject property. The
requested variances are for the south portion of the development site in order to increase retaining
wall height from the maximum permitted height of 1.2 metres (4 feet) to a 3.0 metre (9.8 feet)
maximum height.
Due to the need to manage the slopes of the development site, it is recommended that Development
Variance Permit 2016-174-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-174-DVP respecting property
located at 10480 248 Street.

Concurrent and Previous Applications:
RZ/090/04 rezoned the subject property to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), and the
adjacent parcel to R-1 (Residential District).
b) Project Description:
This DVP is in support of a townhouse development under its current RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zoning. This specific request is to vary the retaining wall height to allow two tiers of
over height walls to a maximum height of 3 metres (9.8 feet) each. The walls will be located on
the southern edge of the property line and are needed to manage the significant slopes on the
subject property.
The Form and Character Development Permit (2011-134-DP) issued for this townhouse
development included a landscape plan that has been registered on title. This landscape plan
will need to be revised to reflect the changed plans for the retaining walls, but this modification
can be processed as a minor amendment to the Development Permit, requiring the approval of
the Director of Planning. The proposed site plan showing the location of the retaining walls is
attached as Appendix C.
A revised landscape plan has not yet been submitted. However, the applicant confirms that the
materials used will be stand alone decorative faced lock block walls. A hedge will be planted at
grade. The landscaping between the walls is a low maintenance hydro seed product that contains a
- 3 -
mixture of seeds including wild flowers. This landscape treatment and the proposed walls are
consistent with the previous treatment on site, and generally have been well received by residents.
An illustrative example of an over height retaining wall and planting has been provided by the
applicant and is attached as Appendix D.
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 4, Section 403, 8.
To vary the maximum height of the 2 retaining walls at the south edge of the subject
property from 1.2 metres (4 feet) to 3.0 metres (9.8 feet).
The rationale for supporting this variance relates to the need for terracing of the subject property,
and the creation of usable backyards for the property owners.
d) Citizen/Customer 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.
The visual impact of the over height walls will affect those residing on the same subject property in
the units directly backing onto them. In addition, the applicant states that as the landscape
treatment matures, the impact of the walls will soften.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
This Development Variance Permit application was referred to both the Building Department and to
the Engineering Department for comment. Neither department expressed concerns with the
variance as proposed. However, it should be noted that the required building permit for these walls
will need a legal survey to ensure there is no encroachment beyond the property line for the walls
including the required geogrid and drainage. In addition, the walls will be required to be designed by
a qualified Professional Engineer.
- 4 -
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance is supported because over height walls are needed to support development
on the subject property. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered
and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-174-
DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Permit
20468 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Application 2016-142-DP is for a commercial development permit for the subject property above.
The proposal is an upgrade of landscaping and the exterior of the existing building in order to convey
the corporate image, and the branding of the new fast food franchise (Carl Jr.) to replace the existing
A&W. The need for a development permit application has been triggered as the proposed
improvements are projected to exceed the exemption threshold of $25,000.00.
The property is zoned CS-1 Highway Commercial and designated General Commercial in the Official
Community Plan. The existing and the proposed use complies with the property’s zoning and land
use designation. The application has been reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel and all of the
Panel’s comments have been addressed.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-142-DP respecting property located
at 20468 Lougheed Highway.

a) Project Description:
The site context is highway commercial development along Lougheed Highway in West Maple Ridge.
The proposal is an upgrade of the exterior of the existing building, in order to convey the corporate
image, and the branding of the new fast food franchise, replacing the existing A&W restaurant. No
additions will be made to the existing building and therefore no impacts are anticipated with these
upgrades.
The proposed upgrades include the removal of the existing corrugated metal cladding, which will be
replaced with a stucco finish. The proposed colour palette is warm earthy shades of terracotta,
taupe, and dark grey. Stone cladding will be installed at the entrance and along the building’s
Lougheed Highway frontage. Other upgrades include new LED light fixtures, along with the
replacement of the entrance canopies, and the electronic equipment for placing orders in the drive-
through.
The existing landscaping is enhanced, including trees planted along the landscaping strip along the
southern periphery of the parking lot.
b) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan
The subject property is designated General Commercial and this development is consistent with its
designation.
Zoning Bylaw
The subject property is zoned CS-1 (Service Commercial). The existing building is in compliance with
this zone.
Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw
Restaurants in the CS-1 (Service Commercial) zone are required to have 1 parking stall per 4 seats.
The drive through component needs to accommodate the stretching of a minimum of 5 vehicles. The
existing building has less than 100 seats. The bylaw requires 25 parking spaces, but provides 49
parking spaces.
- 3 -
Official Community Plan - Development Permit Guidelines
The subject property is designated General Commercial in the Official Community Plan and therefore
this commercial development is subject to the design guidelines of Section 8.5 Commercial
Development Permit in the Official Community Plan. However, as this proposal is for exterior
renovations of an existing building, not all of the guidelines are applicable. The Key Guidelines of
Section 8.5 and the project’s compliance with them are outlined below.
1. Avoid conflicts with adjacent uses
The subject property is within a context of commercial and light industrial uses and its
continued use as a fast food restaurant is not expected to genera te conflicts with adjacent
uses.
2. Encourage a pedestrian scale
Pedestrian access is separated by locating vehicle access to one side of the building. The
pedestrian area is enhanced with new landscaping and screening of garbage enclosure from
the view of foot traffic. An existing patio with outdoor seating will be maintained with this
new fast food restaurant.
3. Promote sustainable development
New LED light fixtures are proposed with the replacement of existing canopies. The existing
bicycle parking amenity will be retained on site.
4. Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential areas
As the site context is commercial, this key guideline is not pertinent.
5. The form and character of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of
development in the area
This key guideline is of limited relevance for this proposal to upgrade an existing building.
However, the materials and colour scheme used in this renovation are consistent with the
overall design scheme of this commercial area.
c) Advisory Design Panel:
This project was presented to the Advisory Design Panel (ADP) on July 12, 2016. The
recommendations made by the ADP and the response of the applicant are as follows:
1. Provide a pedestrian connection from the sidewalk into site
Response: A connection to the sidewalk along Lougheed Highway will be constructed.
2. Consider a top cap of stone on frontage pilaster creating an inverted U shaped façade treatment
Response: This change has been incorporated.
3. Consider shade louvres on windows
Response: This change has been incorporated into the north and the west facades.
4. Consider west façade treatment with varying the stone finish height
Response: This change has been incorporated.
- 4 -
5. Provide further information on new signage and ensure it is reflective of proposed materials. A
monument type sign is supported.
Response: The existing pole mounted sign will be removed and replaced by one in character with
the architectural elements and integrated with the landscaping.
6. Confirm all existing trees are retained
Response: The landscaping and site plans have been updated for this and incorporating new
trees at the periphery of the lot to improve the tree canopy in the parking lot.
d) Intergovernmental Issues:
As there is no rezoning, subdivision, new construction, or loss of parking proposed, there is no
requirement for referral to or approval of the Ministry of Transportation in relation to this
development.
e) 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 $11,880.45, the security will be $11,880.45.
CONCLUSION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-142-DP respecting property located
at 20468 Lougheed Highway.

SUBJECT: Development Permit
22709 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A Town Centre Development Permit has been received for the subject property, located at 22709
Lougheed Highway to permit façade changes and pedestrian realm upgrades to the existing Valley
Fair Mall. The scope of the work is mainly between London Drugs and the most western
commercial unit (Austin Fish & Chips). A development permit application is required because the
renovations exceed a value of $25,000.00.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-222-DP respecting property located
at 22709 Lougheed Highway.

b) Background Context and Project Description:
The Valley Fair Shopping Mall has been located on the subject property since the 1970’s and
incremental updates and additions have taken place over the years. The most notable change to the
shopping mall was the construction of a new Save-On-Foods grocery store in 2000. The
improvements subject to this application are for specific areas of the mall on the south, north, and
west elevations.
The applicant proposes to update the façade on the main south elevation, with a more limited scope
of improvements on the west and north elevations. The extent of work of the south elevation
includes:
changing the architectural features and signage of the two mall entrance features;,
updating the existing fascia on all three elevations to alter the style, and
enhancing the pedestrian realm with landscaping, street furniture, and lighting along the
main south elevation.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Town Centre Commercial and is located in the Downtown East
Precinct of the Town Centre Area. As a result, the proposed changes are subject to the policies of
the Town Centre Area Plan. Specifically, adherence to the following Downtown East Precinct Key
Development Permit Guidelines is required:
1. Provide a Gateway to the Town Centre.
2. Create a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use commercial area.
3. Enhance the quality, character and vibrancy of the Town Centre
4. Capitalize on important views.
5. Provide public outdoor space
6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features.
7. Maintain street interconnectivity
- 3 -
This project is anticipated to improve the existing mall façade and enhance the overall pedestrian
experience at the Valley Fair Mall within a key pedestrian zone in the Town Centre. The Planning
Department has reviewed the scope of work proposed in terms of its compliance with the key
development permit guidelines for the Downtown East Precinct of the Town Centre. Given that this
application is for façade improvements rather than a new development, not all of the key design
guidelines apply.
Applicable Key Guidelines:
The proposed project meets the following guidelines to an acceptable extent given the scope of work
proposed: key guidelines #2 (Create a pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use commercial area), #3
(Enhance the quality, character and vibrancy of the Town Centre) in part, #5 (Provide public outdoor
space) in part, and #6 (Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features) in part.
Although the building siting, height, and existing setbacks will remain the same, significant
pedestrian enhancements are proposed along the main south elevation of the mall. Landscape
planters will be used to demarcate a pedestrian area in front of the existing store fronts, and create
a physical barrier between the drive aisle and adjacent pedestrian zone. The main south elevation
improvements will also include tables, chairs and benches for customer seating. Pedestrian-level
lighting and universal accessibility will further enhance the main south elevation. The enhanced
space along the main south elevation will function as an outdoor space and the landscape elements
strengthen the use of the space.
In addition to improved pedestrian considerations, the update to the main entrance signs and fascia
cladding will refresh and modernize the main south elevation. The colours used for the façade
improvements are harmonious with the existing building, and include a locally source metal siding
product. The use of brick as an exterior finish material references Maple Ridge’s heritage buildings.
Non-Applicable Key Guidelines:
Due to the nature of this development, key guidelines #1 (Provide a gateway to the Town Centre), #4
(Capitalize on important views) and #7 (Maintain street interconnectivity) have been identified as not
applicable to this project. The scope of work is limited to the building façade and the pedestrian
zone immediately adjacent to the south elevation, rather that the perimeter of the site where the
opportunity for gateway elements exists. The proposed addition does not impact mountain or river
views, and the level of street interconnectivity is maintained.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel reviewed the façade changes and pedestrian realm upgrades at a
meeting held on July 12, 2016. Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape
Architect, the Advisory Design Panel provided the applicant with a resolution outlining comments for
design changes. The Advisory Design Panel resolution and responses from the project Architect are
provided below. The Advisory Design Panel resolved:
That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops
and be submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
1. Consider increasing the column base height for entry signage;
- 4 -
Column base height at entry signage has been raised 0.15 m (6 in). This allows for more
proportional aesthetics at the column bases, while not obstructing the “eyes on the
street” view from the main entry doors.
2. Provide further information on all facades and ensure consistency of treatments and
materials;
Additional façade articulation was introduced to the south west canopy. This allows for a
more consistent treatment to all areas of new canopy visible along the south/south west
canopy.
3. Consider additional accent within concrete finishing areas with coloured concrete;
Additional elements of coloured concrete pavers have been added. These new elements
have been selectively placed in front of the two south entrances; this will draw the eyes
of pedestrians to the entry points of the existing building.
4. Confirm suitable pedestrian circulation on frontage sidewalk with column placement to
ensure no pinch points to pedestrian flows;
Pedestrian circulation was deemed to be adequate under all new canopy areas, with 1 m
(3.5 ft) being the minimum distance between existing storefronts and new column bases.
Planting protrusions into the walkway were reduced to prevent potential congestion
outside of the Starbucks external seating area.
5. Consider providing additional on site trees within frontage area; and
Additional onsite frontage trees have been discussed, but due to the nature of the tenant
lease agreements, views of signage cannot be obstructed from any angle.
6. Consider table and chairs that are not fixed.
The fixed table and chair were deleted. Starbucks and booster juice will provide their own
branded, non-fixed table and chairs, while other tenants will be also be encouraged to do
so.
The Advisory Design Panel concerns have been addressed and the architectural plans have been
revised (see Appendix D and E).
e) Alternatives:
Further to the Advisory Design Panel’s resolution item 5 listed above, the applicant has noted the
following issues and concerns regarding installing more trees on the property:
Trees originally installed on the south side of the main mall drive aisle previously caused
safety and liability issues due to tripping hazards and conflicts with vehicles.
Tenant lease agreements state that signage cannot be blocked, therefore new planting along
the south elevation is proposed to remain lower than signage elevation.
The existing tree canopy and opportunities to increase the canopy despite these concerns have been
discussed between staff, applicant and the Advisory Design Panel. Due to the issues noted by the
applicant, no additional tree canopy will be achieved with this development application. This does
not preclude future requirements to increase landscaping on the site when a more significant re-
development occurs on the subject property.
- 5 -
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 $78,090.71, the security will be $78,090.71.
CONCLUSION:
This development application is for façade improvements for the Valley Fair Mall; therefore, certain
key guidelines are achievable while others are not as easily achievable. Staff have reviewed the
proposal’s compliance with the Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines of the Official
Community Plan for form and character, and it is recommended that the Corporate Officer be
authorized to sign and seal 2016-222-DP respecting property located at 22709 Lougheed Highway.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-114-SD
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: 5% Money in Lieu Of Parkland Dedication
12366 Laity Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject property, located at 12366 Laity Street (see Appendix A), is proposed to be subdivided
into 6 single family lots over two phases (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 payment in lieu of parkland dedication for the
property located at 12366 Laity Street.
RECOMMENDATION:
That pursuant to Local Government Act, Section 510, regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or
payment in lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at 12366 Laity
Street, under application 2016-114-SD, shall pay to the City of Maple Ridge an amount that is no t
less than $67,500.00.
DISCUSSION:
Section 510 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.
In this particular instance there is no watercourse protection area or suitable lands present and it is
therefore recommended that money in lieu of parkland dedication be provided.

- 2 -
In keeping with past practice, the City has requested that an appraisal be provided for the 5%
market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land.
A report dated June 10, 2016 from a qualified real estate appraiser has determined that the market
value of the land is $1,350,000.00, which indicates that the 5% value of this property is
$67,500.00. It is interesting to note that the same appraiser assessed the value of this property in
July 2015 at $750,000.00, which resulted in a 5% value of $37,500.00.
CONCLUSION:
As there are no watercourse protection areas and no suitable lands on the property for parkland
dedication, it is recommended that Council require payment in lieu of parkland dedication as
prescribed in the appraisal.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 16, 2016, Council passed the following resolution:
“That amendments to the Business Licence and Regulation Bylaw to allow food truck vending on City
property, including streets, be prepared for Council consideration”.
The purpose of this report is to present the Maple Ridge Business Licencing and Regulation Amending
Bylaw No.7250-2016 (Appendix I). This amendment addresses Council’s request to provide regulations
concerning the operation of mobile food vendors in public spaces, specifically on streets and in certain
parks.
The proposed bylaw amendments are also consistent with the Town Centre Animation Plan presented to
Council on May 16, 2016, by the Economic Development Department. The Economic Development
Department have been in dialogue with the Town Centre Businesses through the Downtown Maple Ridge
Business Improvement Association (DMRBIA). This report recommends that First Reading be given to the
bylaw. Following First Reading it is proposed that an Information Session be held with local businesses
through the BIA and the Economic Development Department. This Information Session will provide an
opportunity for feedback on the proposed bylaw prior to adoption.

On May 16, 2016 Staff presented a report to Council regarding the introduction of mobile food vendors to
the Town Centre. That report explained that Section 7.17 of the Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw
which deals with the subject of mobile food vendors needed to be amended to allow for street vending.
Council directed that the bylaw changes be brought back for Council’s consideration. The proposed
changes would allow mobile food vendors to locate on streets and in parks provided that the business
obtains the applicable permits.
The current regulations that prohibit a mobile food vendor from carrying on a business on private property
directly outside any business that offers the same items for sale as those offered by the mobile food
vendor and have specific language regarding garbage receptacles and washrooms will remain the same.
1114
b)b)b)b) Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:
The Economic Development Department have been working together with the Downtown Business
Improvement Association (DMRBIA) and the Community Festivals Network on a long-term plan to enhance
overall animation and activity in the Town Centre. The proposed Town Centre Animation Plan was
presented to Council on May 16, 2016. Part of that Plan recommended a Mobile Food Vendors Program.
It is understood that the DMRBIA is supportive of this proposal. It is expected though that some may have
reservations in that food trucks could present unfair competition to them. In response to these concerns,
many cities have limited the hours and locations food trucks can operate, and imposed other restrictions
on their operations. The competitive impact of food trucks is mitigated by their limited menus and
operating hours, and the effects of seasonality and weather on their business. The concerns of
restaurants is addressed through requiring food trucks to obtain park and highway use permits to operate
on public property, and by limiting the number of on-street locations where food trucks can operate.
It is important that the mitigating measures be understood among local restauranteurs. It is proposed
that the bylaw be given First Reading and that an Information Session be held to explain the proposed
bylaw and solicit feedback. It is proposed that this Information Session be organized by the Economic
Development Department in conjunction with the DMRBIA.
c)c)c)c) Interdepartmental Implications:Interdepartmental Implications:Interdepartmental Implications:Interdepartmental Implications:
The locations for the permits will be predetermined in consultation with the Economic Development
Department, the Engineering Department and the Parks and Leisure Services Department. This way there
will be a limit to the number of permits issued.
CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:
Maple Ridge Business Licencing and Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 7250-2016 is a step in the City’s long
term economic development goals of creating a more vibrant Town Centre.

SUBJECT: Municipal Equipment Purchase, One (1) Single Axle Street Sweeper
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The approved Financial Plan includes funding for the purchase of one ( 1 ) street sweeper truck. A
public request for proposals to supply the sweeper truck resulted in three (3) submissions being
received. Following detailed evaluation of the proposals, it is recommended that the contract to
supply the trucks be awarded to Vimar Equipment Ltd. This is a replacement unit for a 2010 street
sweeper truck and is consistent with our normal fleet life cycle renewal procedure.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for the purchase of one street sweeper truck be awarded to Vimar Equipment Ltd.
in the amount of $283,672.44 plus applicable taxes of $14,183.62, that a 10% contingency
amount of $28,367.24 be allocated and further, that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute
the contract.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
A Request for Proposals (RFP-OP16-34) for the supply of one single axle street sweeper truck
was publicly advertised on April 29, 2016 and closed on May 31, 2016. Three (3) proposals
were received and evaluated. The results of the detailed evaluations for best value
recommend award of an Elgin street sweeper from Vimar Equipment Ltd. This is a
replacement unit for a 2010 street sweeper and is consistent with our normal life cycle
renewal. In addition, with an average of 200 streets swept per week the current sweeper is
in need of replacement. In the past two years it has been in the shop 6 times for major
repairs and is experiencing accelerating deterioration.

SUBJECT: Award of Contract ITT-EN-16-41: 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber
(Morrisette Place to Carmichael Street)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City’s Water Master Plan identified the need to construct a watermain to connect between Grant
Mountain Reservoir in the 224m upper Albion pressure zone and the 158m Albion pressure zone. The
project is in the current Financial Plan. The installation of a watermain on 108 Avenue from Morrisette
Place to Carmichael Street and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) chamber will provide the critical
connection for the two pressure zones and will provide additional drinking water to both Grant
Mountain and Albion zones as well as emergency water supply for firefighting purposes.
The 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber Project from Morrisette Place to Carmichael Street
generally consists of the installation of approximately 310m of 200mm diameter ductile iron
watermain, fire hydrants, PRV chamber, flow meter manhole, electrical kiosk, and surface restorations.
The Invitation to Tender was issued on June 16, 2016 and closed on July 14, 2016 with six (6) bids
received. The lowest compliant bid of $306,810.00 excluding taxes was submitted by Triahn
Enterprises Ltd. City staff have analyzed the tenders and recommend that the contract be awarded to
Triahn Enterprises Ltd. There is additional work by City crews to tie-in the new watermain to the City
water system.
Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract ITT-EN16-41, 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber (Morrisette Place to
Carmichael Street), be awarded to Triahn Enterprises Ltd. in the amount of $306,810.00 excluding
taxes; and
THAT a contract contingency of $50,000 be approved to address potential variations in field

SUBJECT: Award of Contract RFP-EN16-22: Integrated Stormwater Management Planning
and Stream Monitoring (Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser River)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Province of British Columbia requires Maple Ridge and other Metro Vancouver municipalities to
develop Integrated Stormwater Management Plans (ISMPs) that will support community growth in a
manner that maintains and are designed to enhance watershed health. The City commenced ISMPs
for the South Alouette and Kanaka watersheds in June 2015 and is now commencing ISMPs for the
Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser River watersheds. The City’s approved 2015 and 2016 Capital
Budgets include funding for ISMP and stream monitoring for the Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser
River watersheds. Five consultants were identified through a pre-qualification process in 2015 and
three of those prequalified consultants responded to the Request for Proposals. An evaluation team
identified the Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. proposal of $375,876 plus taxes as the highest
ranking proposal. Council approval is required to award the work.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract RFP-EN16-22: Integrated Stormwater Management Planning and Stream Monitoring
(Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser River), be awarded to Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. in the
amount of $375,876 plus taxes; and
THAT an additional 5% contingency be established for this project; and further
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Legislative Requirement to Develop Integrated Stormwater Management Plans
In the 1990’s, the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD) and
member municipalities worked to develop a Provincially-approved Liquid Waste Management
Plan (LWMP) that would take precedence over the more restrictive Provincial Waste
Management/Environmental Management Acts. In 2001, Maple Ridge Council authorized
the GVS&DD to submit the LWMP to the Minister of Environment for Approval. The Minister
approved the plan in 2002.
Section C39 of the 2001 LWMP committed municipalities to develop Integrated Stormwater
Management Plans (ISMP’s) for urban watersheds. The development of ISMP’s was to be
facilitated through a terms of reference template developed by a regional Stormwater
Interagency Liaison Group. The terms of reference template was developed in 2005. 1117
In 2010, the LWMP was updated and renamed the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource
Management Plan (ILWRMP). Maple Ridge Council endorsed the municipal actions of the
ILWRMP in 2010. The Provincial Minister of Environment approved the document in 2011.
Section 3.4.7 of the ILWRMP requires municipalities to “Develop and implement integrated
stormwater management plans at the watershed scale that integrate with land use to
manage rainwater runoff.”
Integrated stormwater management planning is defined in Stormwater Planning: A
Guidebook for British Columbia (Ministry of Environment, 2002):
“The purpose of an ISMP is to provide a clear picture of how to be proactive in applying
land use planning tools to protect property and aquatic habitat, while at the same time
accommodating land development and population growth.”
Integrated Stormwater Management Planning in Maple Ridge
In 2013, the City retained Urban Systems Ltd. to develop an ISMP strategy for Maple Ridge.
Urban Systems Ltd. identified five watersheds in Maple Ridge requiring ISMPs (see Figure
One):
South Alouette
Kanaka
North Alouette/Blaney
Fraser
Thornhill/Albion
The City initiated ISMPs for the South Alouette and Kanaka watersheds in June 2015. These
initial ISMPs were awarded to Urban Systems Ltd. and are anticipated to be complete in
February 2017. The South Alouette and Kanaka watersheds were prioritized over the others
based on their higher development rates. The City is now awarding ISMPs for the Blaney,
North Alouette and Fraser River watersheds as these watersheds are deemed to be the next
most significant. Thornhill/Albion watersheds are scheduled for subsequent years.
Consultant Selection
Consultant selection followed the City’s Purchasing Policy. The City advertised a Request for
Qualifications in August 2015 and five consultants were prequalified. The City subsequently
issued a Request for Proposals for the Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser River watershed
ISMP and Stream Monitoring to the five prequalified consultants on March 21, 2016. Three
proposals were received in the range of $296,025 to $375,876.
Although Urban Systems Ltd. is one of the five prequalified consultants, they elected not to
submit a proposal for the Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser River watershed ISMPs. ISMPs
for watersheds of this magnitude are labour intensive and comprehensive. Given the current
ISMPs underway for the City of Maple Ridge, Urban Systems Ltd. advised they did not have
the capacity to take on these additional ISMPs.
An evaluation team assessed each proposal utilizing pre-established evaluation criteria and
unanimously concluded that the Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. (KWL) of $375,876 ranked
highest and met the project objectives. KWL submitted the best technical proposal with the
strongest team qualifications and experience. KWL overall fees were the highest of the three
proposals, however, the cost per area of watershed falls within the least costly typically
budgeted amount to complete an ISMP (per Metro Vancouver ISMP – Lessons Learned to
2011.) ISMPs provide long term value to the City with benefits spanning across numerous
City departments including Engineering, Planning and Operations. KWL’s proposal best
meets the City’s needs and is considered to provide the best value.
b) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The approved 2015 and 2016 Capital Budget provides sufficient funds for the Contract. The
ISMP itself is funded under LTC 1795 ($441,394.85 remaining) 60% through the Drainage
Improvement Reserve, a dedicated property tax increase for drainage system improvements
and the balance is funded through General Revenue capital funding. The accompanying
stream monitoring under LTC 014112 ($256,671.93 remaining) is entirely funded through
the Drainage Improvement Reserve.
c) Citizens/Customer Implications:
The ISMP documents will be developed with input from various stakeholders including the
public, environmental stewardship groups and Council. Stakeholders will be consulted
through a variety of means ranging from meetings to online surveys.
d) Strategic Alignment:
The development of ISMPs follows the vision and strategies outlined in the Corporate
Strategic Plan under Smart Managed Growth. ISMP also support the following policies from
the City’s OCP:
OCP Policy 5-28: Maple Ridge will consider the preparation of watershed
management plans that integrate watercourse protection, stormwater management,
and sediment or erosion controls on an ecosystem basis.
OCP Policy 5-33: Maple Ridge will adopt Provincial guidelines and standards for
integrated rain and stormwater management and prepare an Integrated Stormwater
Management Plan (ISMP) to maintain water quality and natural runoff rates in
municipal watercourses.
e) Intergovernmental Relationships:
The creation of ISMPs is a Provincially-legislated requirement set out in the regional
Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan.
CONCLUSION:
The Province has mandated that Metro Vancouver municipalities complete Integrated Stormwater
Management Plans (ISMPs). Further to a RFP process for the Blaney, North Alouette and Fraser
River watersheds, an evaluation team has concluded that the Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd.’s
ISMP and Stream Monitoring proposal for $375,876 plus taxes is the highest ranking proposal
meeting project objectives. It is therefore recommended that the City accept the proposal and enter
into a contract with Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. for the completion of the Blaney, North Alouette
and Fraser River ISMP and Stream Monitoring.

SUBJECT: Data Storage Array
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Our existing Capital Plan includes a project to purchase a data storage array that will deliver the fast
and resilient infrastructure necessary to run the City of Maple Ridge’s virtual computing environment,
across its primary and secondary sites. The City of Maple Ridge currently runs over 120 virtual
servers and 250 virtual desktops, and is now beginning the process of virtualizing another 100
desktop machines. In addition to virtualization, the data storage array will be used to increase speed
of access to over 25 databases, currently running a major portion of the City’s computing
environment.
We have now completed the procurement process and recommend that a contract for the purchase
of a new data storage array be awarded to Open Storage Solutions for $149,979.00, plus taxes and
further that a 10% contingency be allowed for unanticipated additional works. A budget of
$150,000.00 in funding is approved in the Capital Plan. Additional costs associated with the
contingency and taxes, will be taken from within existing allotments in the annual IT operating
budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for purchase of a data storage array be awarded to Open Storage Solutions in the
amount of $149,979.00 plus taxes, that a 10% contingency be allowed for unanticipated additional
works and further that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Our existing Capital Plan includes a project to purchase a data storage array that will deliver the fast
and resilient infrastructure necessary to run the City of Maple Ridge’s virtual computing environment,
across its primary and secondary sites. The City of Maple Ridge currently runs over 120 virtual
servers and 250 virtual desktops, and is now beginning the process of virtualizing another 100
desktop machines. In addition to virtualization, the data storage array will be used to increase speed
of access to over 25 databases, currently running a major portion of the City’s computing
environment.
The City began virtualizing its computing infrastructure well over a decade ago and now manages
over 120 virtual servers across 20 physical machines and over 250 desktops utilizing virtual Citrix
2
servers. In order to deliver excellent performance and reliability, it is absolutely critical that we
leverage data storage arrays capable of managing the workload. In addition, resiliency is crucial to
ensure maximum availability of computing services.
Over the past year, IT staff have successfully migrated much of the virtual environment from our
legacy Netapp data storage array, to a new and enhanced Nimble data storage array. The purchase
of a second Nimble array will allow the City to migrate the remaining servers, deploy virtual
workstations, complete the resiliency piece and provide room for growth in services in the coming
years.
We have now completed the procurement process and recommend that a contract for the purchase
of a new data storage array be awarded to Open Storage Solutions for $149,979.00, plus taxes and
further that a 10% contingency be allowed for unanticipated additional works. A budget of
$150,000.00 in funding is approved in the Capital Plan. Additional costs associated with the
contingency and taxes, will be taken from within existing allotments in the annual IT operating
budget.
b) Desired Outcomes:
To purchase and deploy a second Nimble array will allow the City to migrate remaining servers,
deploy virtual workstations, complete the resiliency piece and provide room for growth in services
in the coming years.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This solution is in line with the delivery of excellent customer service in terms of delivering
robust, reliable and resilient computing services as well as further increasing mobility for desktop
services.
This solution is also in line with reducing total cost of ownership. Further virtualization of the
desktop environment will reduce the administrative burden on Information Technology staff
when upgrading and patching desktop machines.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
This solution is in line with the delivery of excellent customer service in terms of delivering
robust, reliable and resilient computing services as well as further increasing mobility for desktop
services. Increased performance and accessibility options for staff using computing services can
increase customer service levels to the Citizens.
There will be a small learning curve for staff when their desktops are virtualized. The additional
benefit from this virtualization will be mobility, in that staff will be able to run their workstation on
any machine, at anytime from anywhere.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
This solution is in line with the delivery of excellent customer service in terms of delivering
robust, reliable and resilient computing services as well as further increasing mobility for desktop
services.
There will be a small learning curve for staff when their desktops are virtualized. The additional
benefit from this virtualization will be mobility, in that staff will be able to run their workstations
on any machine, at anytime from anywhere

f)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
A budget of $150,000.00 in funding is approved in the Capital Plan. Additional costs associated
with the contingency and taxes, will be taken from within existing allotments in the annual IT
operating budget.
g)Alternatives:
An alternative would be to work with our existing equipment and not purchase the Nimble data
storage array. Given that our existing Netapp is end of life, this option would not be
recommended as reliability of the Netapp hardware is declining and maintenance costs to keep
it in service are escalating.
CONCLUSIONS:
That the contract to purchase the storage array solution be awarded to Open Storage Solutions and
further that a 10% contingency be allowed for unanticipated additional works; and further that the
Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Council Procedure Amending Bylaw
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the May 16, 2016 Council Workshop, Council directed staff to amend Maple Ridge Council
Procedure Bylaw No. 6472-2007 to include a consent agenda in the regular council meeting agenda.
The consent agenda is intended to create efficiencies within Council meetings by placing non-
controversial items in a list to be adopted all at once. Examples of items include minutes, final
approval of proposals or reports that Council has been dealing with for some time and all members
are familiar with the implications, appointments to committees, reports provided for information only
and correspondence requiring no discussion. Members of Council may request that individual items
be removed and discussed individually.
Council directed staff at the July 4, 2016 Council Workshop to amend the bylaw further to revert
back to a rotating acting mayor schedule.
Attached Bylaw No. 7263-2016 enacts those changes. As well, four other housekeeping
amendments were identified by staff for Council’s consideration: replacing “District” with “City”;
scheduling of the first meeting of a newly elected Council to match current legislation; clarification of
the release of the vote at closed meetings; and amendment of the wording of reconsideration of a
motion to reflect that it is a member who voted on the prevailing side who can bring forward a
motion of reconsideration.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Bylaw No. 7263-2016 be given first, second and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
The following amendments are recommended and are included in the attached Council Procedures
Amending Bylaw:
1.Replace “District” with “City”.
2.Schedule the first regular council meeting to occur the first Monday in November rather than the
first Monday in December as the general local election is now the third Saturday in October.
3.Amend Part 9 to designate the acting mayor on a rotating basis amongst all councillors.
4.Amend the regular council agenda to include items on consent. Included will be Items such as
receipt of minutes, items released from closed council, reports provided for information only,
final approval of proposals or reports that council has been dealing with for some time and all
members are familiar with the implications, correspondence requiring no discussion and
appointments to committees.
5.Clarification of the release of the recording of votes from closed meetings. The voting record will
only be released if council passes a resolution to do so.1133
6. Amend the wording of reconsideration of a motion to reference that it is a member who voted on
the prevailing side. This will eliminate the confusion of who may put forward such a motion in
the event of a defeat by a tie vote.
Section 124 (3) of the Community Charter requires that Council give public notice describing the
proposed changes of its procedures. If three readings are given to the amending bylaw, notice will be
published in the local newspaper and posted in the public notice posting place at City Hall prior to
the bylaw being considered for final reading. In addition, the notice will be posted to the City
website.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: LICENSE TO OCCUPY AGREEMENT – ST. ANNE AVENUE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The property located at 22277 St. Anne Avenue was identified several years ago as future parkland
in the Smart Growth on the Ground Project, and was incorporated into the Official Community Plan
and the City`s long term capital plan for acquisition as parkland.
The City of Maple Ridge currently owns two of the four parcels needed to develop the park site. As a
result of a variety of undesirable activities at this location, the project was advanced in the capital
plan, so that the site could be improved for the benefit of the residents in the surrounding area.
Unfortunately when staff approached the BC Transportation and Finance Authority we were advised
that they would not sell the land, as it may be needed in the future for highway purposes.
Staff then inquired about obtaining a long term lease or a license to occupy on the lands for park
purposes. This request was received positively and a License to occupy agreement was drafted for
our legal advisors to review, which has been completed and attached for Council’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign the St. Anne Avenue, License to Occupy Agreement
with the BC Transportation Finance Authority for the purpose of developing a neighborhood park.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
This park site as well as several others in the downtown area was identified as future
parkland acquisitions subject to the Parks Master Plan and budgetary restraints as part of
the “Smart Growth on the Ground” study that was conducted in 2004. The area was
determined to be deficient in neighborhood park space, and the site was incorporated into
the town centre area plan which was adopted in 2008.
b)Desired Outcome:
The South Haney Residents Association have been anxious to participate in the consultation
process for their neighborhood park for some time now, however without tenure on the land,
we have not been able to proceed. The desired outcome would be to move forward with
developing a concept plan for the site through neighborhood consultation, and develop the
park.
c)Strategic Alignment:
This recommendation is consistent with the town centre area plan adopted by Council in
2008.
1151
2
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
There will likely be a significant benefit to the community in the immediate area through the
provision of a space dedicated to recreational pursuits, which could include amenities such
as a community garden, dog off leash area, playground equipment or other components
identified though the consultation process.
In addition, as this space is not currently being used by the neighborhood as an active park
space, other activities are occurring on this site such as loitering, illegal dumping and
homeless camps that need to be managed and are a burden on existing resources. These
activities have resulted in complaints from nearby residents as well as the CEED center, as
some of these activities detract from the use and enjoyment of private property.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Once the park is developed and a greater level of ownership of the nearby residents is
established, it is anticipated that some of the less desirable activities will be reduced
significantly. The recently adopted bylaws limiting where overnight camping can occur will
also help in this regard.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
A budget for SW Haney Park development of $366,000 is identified in the Maple Ridge Five
Year Capital plan for the development of this park. A maintenance budget will also be
submitted for consideration with the 2017 business planning documents.
g) Alternatives:
The alternative would be to decline the offer of a License to occupy at 223 and St Anne
Avenue with BC Transportation and Finance Authority, and direct staff to identify other
nearby lands that the City could purchase for a neighborhood park. Staff is not
recommending this, as the likelihood of the proposed site being required for expansion of the
bypass is unlikely as a result of the close proximity to other residences to the North and
South of the site.
CONCLUSIONS:
The acquisition and development of parkland in areas that are below the 5 to 10 minute walking
distance standard in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, is important in maintaining a balance of
parks and recreation opportunities. This location was identified to overcome this shortfall and
provide park space in a similar manner to other areas of the community.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee - Public Art Locations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee (MRPASC) developed a five year strategic
framework to guide the development of public art in 2014. The plan is based on feedback
attained through a community consultation process and discussions with various internal
departments. In accordance with its role and responsibility as a Committee of Council and the
public art policy, the Committee is forwarding a recommendation for the location of public art for
2017. The Committee’s proposal for locations that best meet criteria include gateway
monuments on Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk Road, a street mural at an appropriate
neighbourhood intersection and a recognition project integrated with the public sidewalk or
window spaces of City Hall facing Dewdney Trunk Road.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the recommended proposed locations for public art for 2017 which includes gateway
monuments on Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk Road, an appropriate neighbourhood intersection
for a pilot street mural and the public sidewalk or window spaces of City Hall facing Dewdney
Trunk Road, be approved.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Maple Ridge Public Art program was officially started in 2009 and since then a number
of projects have been completed under the policy and program. The MRPASC’s mission is
to “strengthen community identity and culture by developing the ‘spirit of place’ through
the commission, collecting and incorporation of unique works of art.”
The proposed locations were chosen based on information from MRPASC’s five year
strategic framework, the Canada 150 Fund opportunity and inter-department discussions.
The Committee has identified and proposed these locations. The framework emphasizes
flexibility and responsiveness to future opportunities that may arise from time to time. The
program’s goal is to commission public artworks of different scales, in different ways, with
a variety of means, projects, materials, processes and locations.
In addition to the goals and objectives stated in the policy, the Committee developed site
selection criteria for the proposed commissions that are outlined in the five year framework
which was brought forward and endorsed by Council.
1152
2
Furthermore, the proposed locations which are the subject of this report include:
1. Gateway Monuments –gateways for Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk Road will provide an
opportunity to align with the Canada 150 theme and recognize First Nations. Lougheed
and Dewdney are very high traffic transportation routes for residents, Metro Vancouver
people and tourists.
2. Street Mural – a pilot street mural at a neighbourhood intersection will celebrate
identity, sense of place and develop further community connections.
3. Recognition Artwork – an integrated artwork using the public sidewalk or the windows of
City Hall facing Dewdney Trunk Road that will provide opportunities to recognize the
contribution of donors and community builders. The Committee will collaborate with the
Maple Ridge Community Foundation.
b) Desired Outcome:
A creative public art program that develops a sense of community and cultural vitality,
enhances local economic benefits, attracts tourists and participants, develops volunteerism
and improves quality of life that attracts and retains existing and new residents and
businesses.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Recommendation for public art will contribute to place-making, community aspirations, and
the quality of life set out in the regional and municipal planning documents including the
Official Community Plan and the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Master Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed locations for new public artwork contributes to positive recreational and
cultural opportunities for citizen engagement, and a safe, vibrant, and livable community.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Parks, Youth Services and Engineering have contributed to the identification of the proposed
locations and preliminary plans.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The proposed locations align with the Committee’s business plan goals and the funding is
included in the funding allotment of the 2016-2018 approved financial plans.
g) Alternatives:
Request that the MRPASC reconsider other locations and opportunities.
3
CONCLUSIONS:
Approving the proposed locations for gateways on Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk Road, a street
mural at an appropriate neighbourhood intersection and a recognition artwork integrated with
the public sidewalk or windows of City Hall facing Dewdney Trunk Road is recommended and is
within the funding envelope identified within the 2014-2018 approved financial plans. Public art
will contribute to the culture and character of a place and to making communities more
welcoming and livable.

SUMMARY
The purpose of the arts in a
city is to make a city fall in
love with itself.
- Pier Giorgio di Cicco
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee (the Committee) participated in facilitated meetings held
between the months of December 2013 through April 2014. The purpose of the meetings was to establish
a five-year public art strategic framework that would inspire, encourage and engage. The framework will
assist the Committee to make meaningful decisions in regards to the delivery of the Maple Ridge Public Art
Program. The stakeholder process contributed a broad range of opportunities and sites that the Committee
(and project partners) will use in the next few years to align their focus and to assist in decision-making and
setting priorities.
The Committee engaged in focused conversations with each other, municipal staff and community
stakeholders to develop a shared and better understanding of the Committee’s scope of work, learn from the
community, and to gather suggestions for possible public art sites, local traditions, significant personalities
and stories. The idea of collaboration, co-creation and co-production of public art initiatives with municipal
and community stakeholders emerged out of the conversations as another potential opportunity.
The discussions brought an increased awareness of how public art is but one of several contributing elements
in place and character-making, cultural expression and social well-being. The Committee recognized
for public artwork to be ‘successful’ - whether temporary or permanent - it needs to be relevant to the
community. In addition, the processes to realize the work are best integrated within community, municipal
and development planning and project delivery processes. A long list of public art sites, potential themes,
and stories was collected and sorted into public art opportunities. A number of suggested sites are on trails or
along the water’s edge. They add to the array of those in the downtown core. The five-year budget/business
plan was aligned to reflect the primary purpose and the supporting activities that are required to establish a
vibrant public art program.
The conversations of the past few months have revealed that the benefit of public art is not simply a collection
of public artworks but will be in the energy, the growing appreciation and the strengthening of community as
evidenced in the public realm and the quality of places in the District.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Maple Ridge recognizes the
importance of arts and culture
to the community, and will
support the implementation
of the Ridge Meadows Arts
and Culture Policy and Plan
(1996), and the development
of a comprehensive public art
initiative.
- The District of Maple Ridge
Official Community Plan (OCP) • Policy 4-13
Maple Ridge is one of twenty-two municipalities in the Metro Vancouver region working to create a sustainable
region by planning for the tremendous growth of population the region expects over the next 30 years or so.
The shared regional vision describes neighbourhoods that are interconnected vibrant hubs; linked parks, trails
and recreation facilities for residents to keep healthy and active. People will work, play and have the opportunity
through public art to celebrate the characteristics and culture of the place that brought them to Maple Ridge.
Public art will be a means to engage in the process of evolving and creating the future of community.
Maple Ridge is endowed with natural beauty, with extensive forests, mountains, rivers, creeks, lakes, and
agricultural lands. People choose to live in Maple Ridge because of this environment, and also because of the
strong sense of community. Homes are affordable and Maple Ridge is a ‘doable commute’ to Vancouver and
other municipalities in the Lower Mainland.
The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan 2010 states the public art objectives are
to:
• Increase a “sense of place” by partnering with the artistic community and others to expand artistic
expression in the community.
• Support artistic expression related to Maple Ridge’s cultural identity, particularly in the downtown area.
• Integrate the public art program with Planning and Development functions.
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee Governance Policy and Procedures 2011 sets out the purpose and
scope of responsibility of the Committee. The work of the Committee is the administration of the program and
the provision of advice to Council. It’s recognized for public artwork to be ‘publicly useful’ the work will need
to contribute to place-making, community aspirations, and the quality of life set out in the regional and municipal
planning documents: the Official Community and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plans.
Public art contributes to the image and the marking of time in a city. It can be a socio-cultural as well as a
capital asset. It helps provide the map of icons, memories, points of reference and engagement. Its existence
contributes to social as well as physical place-making and cultural expression. The existence of artworks in
the public realm speaks of quality, care, and the culture and character of a place, for and by its citizens. The
artworks are freely enjoyed by residents and visitors alike as they move around by foot, bike, skateboard and
vehicle, or gather, sit, muse and talk together. A range of artworks, temporary and permanent, is desirable.
Public art is one of several ways to concretize culture, animate the city and activate participation and
engagement in and with the city. An enduring program will see the realization of artworks installed, over
time, at different scales, in different ways, with a variety of means, projects, materials and processes.
In 2009 Council passed Bylaw 6659-2009 which established the Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee, a
committee of Council and delegated authority to the Committee to develop a public art program that would
“strengthen community identity and culture by developing the ‘spirit of the place through the commissioning, collecting and
‘‘PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 4
incorporation of unique works of art”:
The program will benefit: • Heritage and tourism • Cultural identity
• Site structures & landscape • Natural environment
• Development and the built-environment
The Committee is composed of five volunteers and includes a Council liaison. Municipal staff supports the
Committee’s work in meetings, as well as the implementation of committee decisions. The Committee
currently receives an annual budget of $70,000. Ongoing funding is contingent upon Council’s approval
as part of the annual budget process. The local Arts Council continues to actively support the work of the
Committee.
The Committee’s first task was to write the Governance Policy and Procedures. The policy and procedures laid
the foundation for the program and guide the work and selection processes for the District’s public art projects.
Since April 2011 the Committee has managed the selection processes and realization of two site-specific
artworks, participated in revising an artist-in-residence program as well as managed several other administrative
functions pertaining to the collection. With experience comes learning on the part of the Committee and staff
as to what is needed and the specific and concrete ways for the program to be more meaningful and effectively
managed, and for effective succession within the Committee so that it remains productive.
The Maple Ridge 2010 Parks and Recreation Culture Master Plan’s goal to create the “sense of place” will be
achieved by partnering with the artistic community and others, and by expanding artistic expression in the
community. The Official Community Plan suggests the public art program be integrated with municipal planning
and development functions. While the Committee has clearly understood its responsibilities in regards to the
administration of the program, there is a growing appreciation how collaboration, co-creation and co-production
will deliver valued and integrated public artworks.
The program is finding its voice within the District’s planning and development structures. Maple Ridge has
benefited from the dedicated volunteers who have worked diligently to fulfill Council’s directives and the
initiation of the public art program. The Committee has, through its recent conversations, come to understand
that it might serve the municipality better by having a long-term strategy and a process for regularly engaging
with internal and external stakeholders. The facilitated meetings held between the Committee and municipal
staff and the Committee and community representatives were recognized as the start of a regular stakeholder
engagement process. Ongoing conversations will help make the process of public art delivery reflective
of and a reflection of Maple Ridge’s energized, collaborative and connected community - one of the fastest
growing municipalities in the Region.
The Committee met first with staff to get an overview of the planning and development processes and an
outline of the various municipal and private projects being planned or in progress. The Committee quickly
appreciated that new neighbourhoods, park development and District projects deserve their attention and that
Public art is...
‘accessible work of any
kind that cares about,
challenges, involves, and
consults the audience for
or with whom it was made,
respecting community and
environment’.
- Lucy Lippard
PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 5
The purpose of the Maple Ridge
Public Art Steering Committee is to:
• Recommend criteria for the
commission of public art
installations to Council
• Have authority for entering into
agreements and contractual
obligations within the limitations of
approved budgets for the commission
of public art installations which meet
the criteria noted above
• Have authority to spend money
within an annual budget approved by
Council
• Submit an annual report to Council
by the end of May each year
describing the activities of the
previous year
STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS
the exploration of the value of public art as one of many considerations in the planning and place-making in a
vibrant community. In addition, large-scale private developments offer additional opportunities for public art
to be installed as they too play a significant role in place-making. (Note: Public art is but one of many community
amenity contributions which might be included in the list of community needs a developer is asked to deliver in exchange
for the lift in value as a result of increased density.)
On February 6, 2014 the Committee members facilitated round-table conversations with community
stakeholders. These resulted in much new information, suggestions of sites, stories, characters and traditions
as well as ideas of collaboration with community groups. The conversations exposed a wide array of
opportunities in addition to the focus on the town centre as the primary site for public art installations.
The community suggestions support the popular affection for Maple Ridge’s natural environment and the
importance of recreational activities and community.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC ART
The Committee consolidated and distilled the information gathered from all the stakeholder meetings. They
established categories, related the stories etc. to sites and developed a list of public art opportunities. The
following chart documents the list of options identified during the discussions. The chart and accompanying
maps are considered to be guiding documents for future planning of the work of the Committee. The list
is neither complete nor comprehensive. It represents the ideas gathered at the time and a general guide,
and may be revised and refined as appropriate and provide for flexibility to respond as opportunities are
presented.

BUILDING THE MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART COLLECTIONSITING CRITERIA
The Committee developed a list of criteria to be used
when considering acquisition of artwork through
commissioning or purchasing in addition to the goals
and objectives stated in the policy. The criteria shall
include, but not be limited to the following intentions. An
opportunity will be:
• Highly visible
• Experientially-based for pedestrians and/or
motorists.
• Adjacent to high pedestrian activity areas, places of
public gathering, public open spaces and recognized
pedestrian routes.
• Responsive to the site and benefits the larger
community.
• Interactive and engaging for audiences and/or facility
users.
And, it will result in:
• Opportunities to expand on existing or future
public artworks, architectural features, natural
features, urban design and/or future development
plans for area
• Support the overall program goal or concept.
• Contributions to place-making and creating unique
landmarks (e.g. entrances, rivers, wharfs).
• Recognition of places of special heritage/
community significance.
• Recognition of opportunities to highlight
celebrations and community diversity (e.g.
Japanese, Finnish, Dutch, Native, new immigrants).
• Celebration of nature, conservation and the
environment.
• Consideration of environmental impact.
• Consideration of youth engagement and needs
which reflect youth sensitive & appropriate
opportunities/initiatives.
For the purpose of this report public art is defined as original site specific art created by artists or in
collaboration with artists through a public process and existing in publicly accessible areas. The selection
process will include input from the community or partner(s) and consultation with inter-departmental staff. It is
important to recognize that not all art in the public realm is public art. Maple Ridge’s existing public art inventory
includes, amongst other things, sculptures, carvings, mosaics and integrated arts (e.g. fencing/gates, water
features). As the District’s commitment to public art expands, so too might its definition. The establishment of
articulated processes, siting priorities and deaccessioning procedures are key requirements for the management
and administration of the program. The Policy and Procedures clearly sets out the selection process. Five
areas of focus emerged out of the discussions as useful objectives to support the Committee’s mission of
commissioning public art installations. The future areas of consideration include:
1. Education and awareness of the public art program
2. Public art inter-departmental collaborations
3. Collections Maintenance and management
4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
b. Private Development Public Art Program
5. Strategic planning cycle
PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 13
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Education and Awareness of the Public Art Program
To raise general awareness and profile of the collection and the contribution of public art, there need to be supporting initiatives including an
enhanced website and mapping technology, publication (eg. tour brochure/information guide), interpretative signage, promotional strategies that
fit within larger contexts (e.g. tourism, economic development) and community engagement initiatives. This will strengthen understanding of
the Public Art Program and increase accessibility for community partners and District staff.
Recommendation: Prepare and implement a communication strategy with an initial focus on developing promotional and educational tools
in various media to educate and inform the general public, community collaborators, municipal departments and business/developers.
2. Public Art Inter-departmental Meetings
Much will be gained by including public art as a public cultural amenity and enhancement. Convening meetings for the coordination/
consultation between parks, planning and engineering departments and the public art program with respect to projects under consideration
will contribute to better integration and cultural planning needs being met. The municipality encourages the practise of a collaborative
framework and processes in achieving shared goals and the community’s vision. This will allow for capitalizing on opportunities and for planning
appropriate scale to fit the size of the projects.
Recommendation: Encourage the integration of public art considerations into early stages of project management processes of
appropriate District construction projects in Parks and Leisure Services, Planning and Engineering. The Arts and Community Connections
Manager will convene public art inter-departmental meetings with representatives from various departments who may be interested or
impacted as needed. Meetings will include the Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee as appropriate.
3. Collections Maintenance and Management
Stewardship of the public realm and assets is a District responsibility. As the number of public artworks grows in the collection, there is a need
to have good practices and guidelines to document the collection and inform the maintenance of the collection. Most of the works currently
in the collection have a lifespan of +15 years. Regular maintenance will contribute to the life of the work and deter vandalism. Currently
maintenance is carried out on an as-needed basis. The need for regular (annual) inspection increases along with a need for remedial repairs as
some artworks age. Artists’ moral rights with respect to their work bring duty of care obligations for the municipality.
Recommendation: Dedicate funds in each year from the budget into a maintenance reserve towards work in conservation, annual
inspections, restorations/repairs, collections management database, tools/resources and maintenance plan with the goal to enhance and fulfill
the life expectancy of works in the public art collection. Maintenance priorities and a percentage from each project (up to 20%) should be
reviewed annually for adequacy in meeting plan goals. Therefore a maintenance reserve fund should be established according to municipal
policy and guidelines.

4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
The District of Maple Ridge may consider the offer of donations of artwork and funds. The District and Committee recognize the various ways of
building the collection including the accessioning of new artworks, acquisition of existing artworks or acceptance of gifts/donations of public art
and funds. All offers of public artwork to the District, whether for sale, or in the form of a gift, will be reviewed by the Committee, which will in
turn make recommendation to Council. To accomplish this task there needs to be a more detailed and comprehensive set of review guidelines for
donations/gifts and program structure.
Recommendation: Explore, research and establish detailed review guidelines for donations/gifts that will assist in the evaluation of proposed
voluntary public art donations/gifts from private sources. The guidelines will include acceptance conditions, artistic and technical evaluation, public
consultation and other factors to consider in the evaluation. An amendment to public art policy to include a donations/gifts program will be proposed
in the 2015 business plan.
b. Private Development Public Art Program
Public art in the community may grow through partnerships with institutional and private developers with projects located on sites throughout the
municipality and with the focus to those sites in the downtown area as a start. Discussions are underway with Planning Department staff to explore
a framework for the program, which will be guided by further discussions with developers, committee and other internal departments.
Recommendation: Work with the Planning Department to explore feasibility of a private development public art program in the 2015 business
plan with the objective to recommend introducing and implementing an appropriate program framework in 2016 for Council’s consideration and
encourage participation in 2017. This recognizes the importance of partnerships in developing a mature public art program.
5. Strategic Planning Cycle
A regular assessment of the program in relationship to the various community developments and opportunities will assure the viable recognition and
integration of the program with the District’s neighbourhood planning and fair sharing of community benefits. It is important to recognize that a Public
Art Program is not static, but evolves over time.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the program be reviewed at least every five years to reflect changes and growth and to be open to the
greatest possible number of opportunities to celebrate community through public art.

PROPOSED BUDGET 2014-2018
The budget and work plan include the primary mandate and mission and take the additional activities into account in the five-year strategic framework being proposed.
Notes:
1. Funds may be combined using multiple years for larger commissions and/or solicited from partners/developers/sponsors etc.
2. A Collections Maintenance & Management Reserve Fund should be established in accordance with District Policy and Procedures. $50,000 represents the total
expected contribution between 2014-2018, less expenses.
3. Annual funding subject to annual budget approvals.

‘‘PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 16
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee undertook a stakeholder engagement process to inform
its work and objectives over the next five years. The Committee gathered information from the community
about potential public art sites and opportunities. A number of locations were suggested and are worthy
for consideration as sites for public art. They include existing and future District and private development
projects in and outside the downtown core. In addition to listing themes and stories pertaining to legacy and
traditions, the possibility of collaborative opportunities and emerging cultural patterns were discussed. The
list is not exhaustive. The conversation is ongoing. The strategic framework is intended as the Committee’s
reference document and will inform priority setting and decision-making over the next few years.
The Committee understands its mandate of managing and administering the Public Art Program. In order to
support this work and mission, the Committee has identified five areas of strategic focus. The Committee has
recognized that their meetings with stakeholders provided substantial information and was a good way to
inform the development of the program and their work. As well, the conversations revealed opportunities for
connection and collaboration. The Committee is recommending that consultation and planning be ongoing
processes and integral to the administration, planning and implementation of the public art program. The
supporting activities being recommended are to inform future planning and direction:
1. Education and awareness of the public art program
2. Public Art Interdepartmental Meetings
3. Collections Maintenance and management
4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
b. Private Development Public Art Program
5. Strategic planning cycle
These activities are included in the Strategic Framework and are reflected in the budget for 2014-2018.
With the adoption of the recommendations of this report Maple Ridge can look forward to maturing a public art
program that is distinct and relevant to the communities and neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge.
Artists can help redefine the
meaning of a site no matter
how boring the site may appear.
Answers to questions stimulate
the imagination and inform the
unique opportunities the site
offers as well as the meanings
the artwork can communicate.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Joint Leisure Services Agreement – Registered Program Marketing Service
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 31, 2016 the Joint Leisure Services Agreement between the City of Maple Ridge (CMR)
and the City of Pitt Meadows (CPM) will conclude and each City will move forward with the
independent provision of parks, recreation and cultural services to their citizens. In the Joint Leisure
Services Agreement – Arts & Recreation Programming report dated March 7, 2016, it was
recommended that staff work with the CPM to explore an approach and costs for the CPM continued
involvement in the Arts & Recreation Guide for registered program content.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Maple Ridge provide the City of Pitt Meadows with a registered program marketing
service for the Winter 2017 Arts & Recreation Guide on a full cost recovery basis, including a 15%
administration fee.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
On October 31, 2016 the Joint Leisure Services Agreement between the CMR and the CPM
conclude and each City will move forward with the independent provision of parks, recreation
and cultural services to their citizens. In a report dated March 7, 2016, staff recommended a
report be brought back to Council on the implications and costs associated with the CPM
continued involvement in the Arts & Recreation Guide for registered program content.
On July 4, 2016 Council approved a recommendation to revise the Master Agreement on
Cooperation for Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination of Services which may result in
potential sub-agreements such as joint marketing. This work is expected to be completed in
September/October which conflicts with the production timeline for the Winter 2017 Arts &
Recreation Guide.
Staff begin winter program planning in Quarter 3 with all program data entered into the system
by mid October. The first round of editing and proofing is complete by October 28 which falls
within the joint leisure services agreement.
As a result, staff are recommending providing a registered program marketing service to CPM for
the Winter 2017 (January - March) Guide using a cost-recovery model plus 15% administration
fee. This will allow for time to update the Master Agreement in cooperation with the CPM and
School District 42 (SD42).

b)Desired Outcome:
To provide a streamlined and efficient opportunity for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows registered
program customers to access available program content.
c)Citizen/Customer Implications:
The joint marketing of registered program content aligns with Council’s Joint Leisure Services
Agreement guiding principles to ensure a seamless transition for residents and also provides
regional marketing of Maple Ridge programs.
d)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
This service would be provided on a cost recovery plus 15% administration fee model.
e)Alternatives:
To produce a Maple Ridge only Arts & Recreation Guide.
CONCLUSIONS:
The benefits related to a joint marketing function for Arts & Recreation programming opportunities
include a streamlined and efficient opportunity for residents to view programming options at a
regional level.

SUBJECT: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Facilities – MEETING: COW
Concept Plans and Public Engagement
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 2, 2016, Council directed staff to prepare concept designs for all parks,
recreation and cultural facilities that will be brought to the public for consultation. This
includes a multi-use wellness facility with an aquatic component and curling rink, two ice sheets,
two synthetic fields in a stadium and event setting, neighbourhood amenities in Albion, Silver Valley,
Hammond and Whonnock, plus a civic facility in the downtown that includes a museum, archives,
eduction centre, convention space, youth wellness centre and upgrades to the Maple Ridge Leisure
Centre.
Concept plans for the Albion Community Centre and Civic Facility have already been completed. To
achieve the remaining concept designs the City issued an RFP to seek qualified firms to conduct
Stakeholder Consultations and the Concept Design process. This contract has been awarded to
HCMA Architecture and Design for $27,340 plus applicable tax to be funded from the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan Fund. In addition, staff were asked to identify the funding required to
conduct a comprehensive public engagement process on the proposed facilities, which is estimated
to cost $36,000 – $38,000. Funding for this purpose is also available from the Parks and
Recreation Master Plan Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
1.That staff be directed to undertake stakeholder consultation and development of concept
drawings for a Multi-Use Wellness Facility, Synthetic Sport Fields and Stadium, Ice Rink
expansion and Neighbourhood Amenities in Silver Valley, Hammond and Whonnock Lake at a
cost of $27,340; and
2.That staff issue a request for proposals to conduct a comprehensive community consultation
process on parks, recreation and cultural facilities for an estimated cost of $36,000 - $38,000;
1154

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
On May 2, 2016, Council directed staff to prepare concept designs for parks,
recreation and cultural facilities that will be brought to the public for consultation. At
that time, the Civic Facility and Albion Community Centre concept plans were already
in place: the Albion Community Centre was undertaken early on to capture the
opportunity to work collabortatively with the Board of Education of School District No.
42 on the development of an Elementary School, Neighbourhood Learning Cenre and
Community Centre in the Albion Area, and the Civic Facility concept was developed
ahead of other projects to ensure the opportunity to make application for Federal and
Provincial grant opportunities that were emerging.
R emaining facility concept plans that will be developed include: a Multi-use Wellness Facility
with an Aquatic Facility and a Curling Rink, two Ice Pads, two Synthetic Fields and Stadium, and
Neighbourhood amenities in Silver Valley, Hammond and Whonnock. In addition, staff were
asked to identify the funding required to conduct a fullsome public engagement process on the
proposed facilities.
On June to Oct, 2016 Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Concept Design Services
for the facilities identified as priorities by Council. The RFP closed on June 28th and HCMA
Architecture and design has been awarded the contract to engage stakeholders in a process
to develop concepts and high level costing for each project. This work will be undertaken in
late August and September and the resulting concept plans will be brought back to Council in
October.
Next Steps – August to Oct, 2016 – Community Engagement Process
Staff will issue an RFP for a comprehensive community consultation program that will gather
public feedback on all proposed parks, recreation and culture concept plans. The concept
plans that are under development will be used to convey each concept to the public during
the consultation process to assist in gathering the community’s feedback. Council will be
provided with the opportunity to input to the concept plans prior to seeking this community
feedback.
The scope of the public engagement program that will be put in place for the identified projects
will be inclusive and far-reaching. It will include a number of workshops and on‐line options
that will make it easy for citizens to engage in providing their feedback. The goal of the public
engagement program will be to ensure that citizens have ample opportunity to provide their
input given the significance of the potential infrastructure projects. An outline of the full
engagement program will be brought back to Council for approval prior to
implementation.
Once the first round of community input is received, the themes and ideas that emerge will
be represented in a concept plan that will be brought back to Council and to the community for
additional feedback. The community’s ideas will develop the vision for each project and then
citizens will have the opportunity to review and comment on that vision.
3
After these steps have completed, the concept plans and a summation of all feedback received
will be brought to Council for information and for Council to reconfirm the priorities that will be
brought to the public for approval for borrowing.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to ensure that a plan is in place to meet the future sport, recreation and
culture needs of the community.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The projects identified in this report align with recommendations in the Parks, Recreation and
Culture Plan adopted by Council in 2010.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Parks, Recreation and Culture infrastructure supports citizens to maintain healthy lifestyles
through their participation in sport, recreation, arts, and culture in venues that allow citizens to
connect with their neighbours and communities of common interest.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Various departments provide support to Community Development, Parks and Recreation as new
facilities are developed including Planning, Engineering, Building, Clerks, Communications and
Finance.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The cost to conduct a Stakeholder Consultation and Concept Design process has been confirmed
at $27,340 plus applicable tax. Research on the cost to conduct a comprehensive community
consultation program resulted in an estimate of $36,000 - $38,000 for this component.
Funding for this work has been allocated in the Parks and Recreation Master Plan Fund.
When the parks and recreation infrastructure prioritization process is complete, the resulting
priority projects will need to be incorporated into both Capital and Operating Budgets. Mr. Gill,
General Manager of Corporate and Financial Services presented Council with a sample strategy
that could be used to invest up to $110M in parks, recreation and cultural amenities over the
next four years. However, the final funding strategy will be refined to fit the prioritization and
implementation schedule that Council establishes.
The City will need to borrow for an investment of this size. Before proceeding with long-term
borrowing, a loan authorization bylaw must be approved by the Inspector of Municipalities and
the electors. Approval of the electors can be obtained either through the assent process or
through the alternative approval process. Staff from the Clerks Department will bring forward a
separate report forward to Council on this topic.
g) Alternatives:
Council may decide to “unbundle” the priority facilities and consider reprioritizing or not moving
forward with some of the facilities once the full community consultation process is complete.
4
CONCLUSION:
Significant emphasis has been placed on discussing parks, recreation and cultural amenities over
the past number of months. The next step in determining community priorities in this regard, is to
develop concept plans for each facility and conduct a comprehensive community engagement and
consultation process. Finance staff will finalize the funding plan, and the Clerks Department will
support the public approval process if and when required. Council will be involved in all decisions at
each step in this process.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 25, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Open Government
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On May 2, 2016, Council received a report on Open Government and endorsed the staff
recommendation that would allow us to deal with the issues of today and position the City to
successfully deliver on requests for information and data far into the future. Staff was also directed
to develop a work schedule and cost estimates for Council’s consideration.
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with information on the project scope, prior to
developing the work schedule, to make sure it meets with Council’s expectations.
RECOMMENDATION:
For information only
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Mayor’s Open Government Task Force (MOGTF) was established in January of 2015 to increase
citizens’ access to information; increase citizen participation, engagement and collaboration in
community issues; and, to increase transparency and accountability of actions.
Integral to the process was the formation of the Citizens’ Representative Working Group (CRWG),
established in February of 2015. The CRWG engaged the public to provide input and used that
information to produce a report entitled Open Government Report and Recommendations, dated
October 8, 2015 that delivered fifty-eight recommendations on the format, function and means by
which citizens would like access to information as well as recommendations that will contribute to a
gold standard program of engagement, accountability and transparency in open governance.
On May 2, 2016, staff brought forward a report entitled Mayor’s Open Government Task Force
Recommendations, recommending an approach to Open Government that will deliver a resilient and
extensible infrastructure that will meet the MOGTF objectives, address the recommendations from
the CRWG and position the City to successfully deliver on future requests for information and data
for years to come. Council endorsed the recommendation and directed staff to develop a work
schedule and cost estimates.
1172
2
The four key elements of the approach are set out below:
1. Develop an Open Government Framework to manage information and data.
2. Develop a Customer Service Plan for Open Government.
3. Develop a Communications Plan for Open Government.
4. Develop policies to govern Open Government.
As we further investigate the work related to this project, we recommend that Phase I of the
Implementation Plan focus on three key areas of public interest:
1. City Finances: Many of the issues raised by Council and the community relate to the
accessibility of financial information, including information on projects and contracts, related
expenditures and budgets.
2. Development Services: There is considerable interest by the public for information on the
process and the status of development applications, permits and bylaws.
3. Transportation: There is a desire for information on the projects that are being planned as
well as those that are underway.
While much of this information is available already, it is not easy to access and understand for the
public or for staff who may need to access multiple systems to get the information they need.
Further, once the information is obtained, it is not easy to customize for multiple uses. This costs
time and money and also creates frustration.
The project to improve the accessibility to this information will need to be completed in phases, as
explained in the attached Appendix A. Initial cost estimates to effectively deliver on Phase I range in
the order of magnitude of $165,000 to $265,000 for hardware, software and consulting services.
There will also be operating budget impacts. While this is a preliminary cost estimate, it is important
to note that to deliver information in multiple ways will require a significant investment. Externally
hosted as well as in-house options will be researched. Cost estimates will be refined through
research being conducted in 2016 so that they can be considered during the 2017-2012 Business
Planning process.
While the investment is large in terms of time and money, there is tremendous potential for benefit
stemming from this work. We anticipate that we will provide citizens with accessible and engaging
information and tools which will allow them to understand and follow processes from beginning to
end. Ultimately, this should reduce individual enquiries to staff on how processes work or where
particular reports can be found. In addition to benefits for citizens, staff will also benefit from this
work. With the ability to slice and dice information in various ways in an ad hoc fashion, staff will
have additional tools for managing, monitoring and streamlining their business processes. These
enhancements will deliver business value.
Staff resources required to successfully execute this project will be corporate-wide. In addition to the
Information Technology staff required to deliver on the technology, staff from Planning, Finance,
Clerks and Engineering will be required to provide the subject matter expertise necessary to build
profiles, develop document linking strategies, data input and analysis regimes and to maintain this
information on an ongoing basis. Staff resources will also be required to identify and populate the
document portal with publicly available documents. A subset of staff will be tasked to develop the
Customer Service, Communications and Policy plans associated with the delivery of this service and
3
all staff will need to be trained in the technology and the execution of the Customer Service and
Communication plans.
Next Steps
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on this project and to seek Council’s
initial feedback. We will report back to Council with more detailed costs and timelines at business
planning time so that the financial implications can be considered alongside other priorities.
Future Opportunities
While we have highlighted three areas of interest to pursue at the outset, there are other priorities
too. For instance, 311 applications would allow citizens to report and track requests for service that
are submitted to the City (e.g. See Click Fix). While this type of service is not a direct
recommendation stemming out of the Open Government project, it is in alignment with the
objectives of the Open Government. With this in mind, staff will be investigating costs associated
with implementing this type of service as part of their 2017 business plan.
b) Desired Outcomes:
That Council endorse the scope of the Open Governance project and staff continue to work toward
bringing a work schedule forward and cost estimates for Phase I of this project at business planning
time.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This project is in alignment with the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force objectives to make
information more accessible and provides more opportunities for engaging participation for citizens
as well as increasing the City’s transparency and accountability of actions on the decision-making
process.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Both citizens and staff will benefit from increased accessibility to information and data organized in a
variety of different ways to reach the broadest audience possible and allow for additional
mechanisms to derive business value from this data.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
This is a corporate-wide project. Staff resources of varying degrees will be required from every
department at the City to ensure success of this project. Significant resources from Planning,
Engineering, Clerks and Information Technology will be required in order to complete the above-
noted deliverables.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
This project has significant business plan and financial implications. Staff resources and capital will
be required to successfully complete each phase. The benefit of successfully executing this project
will be seen both by citizens and staff.
g) Alternatives:
An alternative is to reduce the scope of the project to limit costs both monetarily and in staff
resources. Reducing the scope will stretch out the timelines for this project.
Another alternative is to increase the scope of the project which will increase staff and monetary
costs and will result in shrinking the time to complete this project and thereby delivery on citizen
4
expectations in a more timely manner. The recommended approach provides a prudent timeline for
a project of this magnitude.
CONCLUSION:
On May 2, 2016, Council received a report on Open Government and endorsed the staff
recommendation that will allow us to deal with the issues of today and position us to successfully
deliver on requests for information and data for years to come. Staff was also directed to develop a
work schedule and cost estimates for Council’s consideration.
The Open Government project is a multi-year project that will be delivered in phases. Set out in
Appendix A is an initial outline of that plan. A more detailed workplan with cost estimates for Phase I
will be brought forward at business planning time.

Phase I – 2017
1. Build an Open Government/Data Portal
Design and build a central web portal specifically for Open Government services with a different
look and feel from the corporate website so as to provide additional real estate on the page for
delivery of information, applications and tools. The focus of the portal will be on addressing the
three themes emerging from the Citizen’s Representative Working group report: How does it
work? How can I participate? Where is the information?
2. Develop Initial Profiles
Construct web pages and content that will support an initial set of Profiles (Flow Charts, Business
Process Graphics, FAQs) for each of the key areas. Profiles will be used describe a City’s
business process using visuals and in plain language, and will provide links or transitions to
supporting documents (Bylaws, Applications, Forms, Videos, etc.) or sub-levels of detail. This
information is intended to help the viewer understand how the various processes work and how
they can participate in these processes.
3. Develop Applications and Tools for Accessing Information:
a. Document portal to allow individuals to search for specific documents using key words.
b. Interactive Map that presents development services applications geographically and starts
the linking process of applications with relevant documents and status indicators.
c. Performance Metrics/Data Visualization tools that build on our existing “Score Card” and
“Contract Registry” applications. These tools will be in the form of charts, graphs, drill downs
and/or maps. Build data visualization tools that allow citizens and staff to slice and dice
information in different ways.
d. Data Sets to be provided in standard formats and on a regularized update schedule. The
automated generation of the data sets will be by-products of data collected and presented in
other tools.
Phase II – 2018
1. Focus on incorporating a unique identifier to be used to link decisions to documents and
processes.
2. Focus efforts on incorporating single sign-on for authentication to City services.
3. Expand the areas of interest for profiles, data visualization tools and data sets to enhance the
content of Open Government services.
4. Assess Open Government services to determine Phase III requirements and deliverables and
develop workplan for 2019.
Phase III – 2019
1. Implement workplan built in 2018 to extend Open Government services.
