Site Area: 933 and 963 m2 / total 1896 m2 (0.47 acres)
Access: Dewdney Trunk Road
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties, located at 21668 and 21680 Dewdney Trunk Road, are approximately 1896
m2 (0.47 acres) in total area. The properties are generally flat and are bounded by single family
residential property to the south and west, as well as Dewdney Trunk Road, single family and multi
family residential to the north, and a preschool institution to the east (see Appendix A and B).
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the two subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to permit a future subdivision into a 6 unit townhouse
development. Access to all units is proposed to be from Dewdney Trunk Road, with double car
garages and two visitor parking stalls on the north side, plus a hammerhead turnaround on the south
side.
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 (OCP):
The OCP designates the subject properties Urban Residential, and development of the properties is
subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP. These policies require that development is
compatible with surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to the site design,
setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The proposed
rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) is in compliance with the Urban Residential designation
and infill policies.
- 3 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit future subdivision into a 6 unit townhouse
site (see Appendix C). 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 RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is 557
m2.
Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance
Permit application. The current proposed site plan shows a rear setback of the properties of 6.7m to
the projected houses, where a 7.5m setback is required (see Appendix D). If road dedication for
Dewdney Trunk Road should be required, the front setback might need to be varied as well. This will
be the subject of a future report to Council.
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.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to second reading.
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) Licenses, Permits and Bylaws;
e) School District;
f) Utility companies;
g) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and
h) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
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 re quired by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
- 4 -
1.A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
2.A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D);
3.A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); and
4.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.
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.

Official Community PlanOfficial Community PlanOfficial Community PlanOfficial Community Plan::::
The subject property is located within the Urban Area Boundary and is currently designated
Commercial. The OCP identifies the intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street as one of
three Community Commercial Nodes in the city. The OCP further states that these nodes “are
comprised of commercial or mixed use developments and typically serve several neighbourhoods;
provide a wider range of services; and also serve as a focus for the community.”
Typically, Community Commercial Nodes are less than 7,000 m² (75,350 ft²) in area, but may
increase to 9,290 m² (100,000 ft²) over the long-term. The current commercial floor space at
Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street is approximately 3,110 m2 (33,456 ft2), and this proposal will
increase the commercial floor space to approximately 6,362 m² (68,480 ft2). The anticipated
commercial floor space is within the range prescribed in the OCP. It is noted that there are two other
commercial rezoning projects in the Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street node, at 11951 240
- 3 -
Street and at 12040 240 Street. The C-2 (Community Commercial) zone aligns with the Commercial
designation and the Community Commercial Node.
In accordance with OCP Policy 6-12, an Agricultural Impact Assessment and Groundwater Impact
Assessment are required prior to second reading due to the subject property’s adjacency to the
Agricultural Land Reserve.
Zoning Zoning Zoning Zoning BylawBylawBylawBylaw::::
The Community Commercial Node in the Commercial land use designation aligns with both the CS-1
(Service Commercial) zone and the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone. The applicant is pursuing
rezoning to the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone because the permitted principal uses reflect the
anticipated mix of neighbourhood serving businesses.
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 11939 240 Street from
CS-1 (Service Commercial) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit future construction of a multi-
tenant commercial development. The minimum lot size for the current CS-1 (Service Commercial)
zone is 929 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed C-2 (Community Commercial) zone is
2,500 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development
Variance Permit application.
Development PermitsDevelopment PermitsDevelopment PermitsDevelopment Permits::::
Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the OCP, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to
address the current proposal’s compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique
character of the community in accordance with the following key development permit guidelines:
1. Avoid conflicts with adjacent uses through sound attenuation, appropriate lighting,
landscaping, traffic calming and the transition of building massing to fit with adjacent
development;
2. Encourage a pedestrian scale through providing outdoor amenities, minimizing the visual
impact of parking areas, creating landmarks and visual interest along street fronts;
3. Promote sustainable development with multimodal transportation circulation, and low
impact building design;
4. Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential
areas;
5. The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of
development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features,
materials, proportions and building articulation.
Important design considerations for this development include the interface between the proposed
commercial building and adjacent single family homes, prioritizing pedestrians in building siting and
parking lot considerations, and ensuring the adequate provision of stormwater management
elements through permeable surfaces and tree canopy.

movement at the south connected together through a cross-access easement. The property in
question is the southern boundary of the commercial lands, and will be required to provide a full
access and register an easement with an alignment consistent with the lands to the north. In
addition, the existing laneway to the south will need to provide pedestrian access into the lands but
will not provide vehicular access.
Applications are not forwarded to the Engineering Department for detailed rezoning comments prior
to first reading; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.

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. One key component
is to create new rental units above commercial developments. Currently, this practice is being
negotiated on an individual basis during the development process, including recently approved and
in-stream applications at 240 Street and 112 Avenue, 203 Street, Dogwood Avenue, 232 Street and
Silver Valley Road, and 248 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. Similar commercial developments with
rental housing units in the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) and C-2 (Community Commercial) zones
range between two and 16 rental housing units depending on the scope of the project.
- 5 -
This project is of a suitable scale and a desirable location to incorporate apartments. Provision of
apartments in this part of the community would help to achieve a better mix of housing types, can
utilize available school capacity, and increase density on along a Major Corridor without detracting
from the expected commercial potential. The provision of some rental apartments in addition to the
proposed commercial floor space on the subject property would not only assist in implementing the
future 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.
Additionally, the Community Commercial Node policies of the OCP support mixed-use development.
To this end, staff have discussed the opportunities to include some rental apartment units in the
current proposal. The applicant is not currently interested in a residential component in the proposed
development.
CONCLUSION:CONCLUSION:CONCLUSION: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.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2016-159-DVP has been received to reduce the rear yard
setbacks for 20 single family lots, previously subdivided under application number 2011-081-SD.
The requested variances are as follows:
1.To reduce the rear yard setback for 23821 through 23885 103A Avenue, and 10343 and
10347 238A Street, from 8 metres (26 ft.) down to 6 metres (19.7 ft.);
2.To reduce the rear yard setback for 10296, 10317, and 10325 Wynnyk Way and 23882 and
23888 103A Avenue from 8 metres (26 ft.) down to 7.6 metres (24.9 ft.); and
3.To reduce the rear yard setback for 23876 103A Avenue from 8 metres (26 ft.) down to 6.8
metres (22.3 ft.).
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2016-159-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-159-DVP respecting the
properties located at 23821, 23827, 23831, 23837, 23843, 23849, 23855, 23861, 23867,

b)Project Description:
The subject properties, located at 23821, 23827, 23831, 23837, 23843, 23849, 23855, 23861,
23867, 23873, 23876, 23879, 23882, 23885, 23888 103A Avenue, 10343 and 10347 238A
Street, 10296, 10317, and 10325 Wynnyk Way, were subdivided under a previous application
2011-081-SD (see Appendices A and B). The developer is requesting to reduce the rear yard
setback requirements for the identified lots to allow for larger homes. The lots off 103A Avenue and
238A Street back onto park area. The developer states that the reduced setback will not have a
significant impact on the useability of the backyard or the neighbouring properties. Other requested
setbacks are for lots that are located adjacent to a curvature in the road which would benefit from
being pushed back to enhance the street presence. These rear yard setback reductions were not
requested at the time of the rezoning and subdivision applications.
c)Variance Analysis:
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 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 (see Appendix C):
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985, Part 6, Section 601B R-2 Urban Residential District, D a) 2.: To
reduce the minimum rear yard setback from 8.0 metres (26 ft.) from the rear lot line to:
1.6.0 metres (19.7 ft.) for 23821 through 23885 103A Avenue, and 10343 and
10347 238A Street;
2.7.6 metres (24.9 ft.) for 10296, 10317, and 10325 Wynnyk Way and 23882 and
23888 103A Avenue; and
3.6.8 metres (22.3 ft.) for 23876 103A Avenue.
- 3 -
The proposed variances may be supported because they are minor in nature and are not expected to
have a negative impact on the surrounding area, as most of the properties with the proposed
reduced rear yards back onto park areas. Five of the properties back onto adjacent properties;
however, the houses are not yet built, and the proposed reduction is minor (0.4 metres or 1.3 ft.) for
those properties.
Should Council not grant approval for the requested variances, the developer would need to design
the homes to meet the rear setback required by the Zoning Bylaw.
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 properties that are
subject to the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances may be supported because they are minor in nature and are not expected to
have a negative impact on the surrounding area, as most of the properties with the proposed
reduced rear yards back onto park areas. Five of the properties back onto adjacent properties;
however, the houses are not yet built, and the proposed reduction is minor (0.4 metres, or 1.3 ft.) for
those properties.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-159-DVP.

SUBJECT:5% Money in Lieu of Parkland Dedication
24990 110 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject property, located at 24990 110 Avenue (see Appendices A and B), is proposed to
be subdivided into 5 single family residential lots (see Appendix C). 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 24990 110 Avenue.
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 24990
110 Avenue, under application 2014-024-SD, shall pay to the City of Maple Ridge an
amount that is not less than $56,000.00.
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 lan d is paid to the City. These funds are
1104
-2 -
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.
In keeping with past practice, the City has requested that an appraisal be p rovided for the 5%
market value of the development site. This appraisal is based on zoned but not serviced land.
A report from a qualified real estate appraiser has determined that the market value of the
land is $1,120,000.00 which indicates that the 5%value of this property is $56,000.00.
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.

SUBJECT: 5% Money in lieu of parkland dedication
12240 228 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject property located at 12240 228 Street is proposed to be subdivided into 4 single
family residential lots and a lane, and is subject to Council’s Policy regarding parkland
dedication or payment of money in lieu. At the Council meeting held on October 14, 2014
second reading was given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6891-2011 to rezone the property
from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), and it
was determined that the applicant will pay to the City an amount that equals the average
market value of 5% of the land. The applicant has submitted an assessment report, by West
Coast Appraisals, dated April 11, 2016, which was received by the City on June 10, 2016. Due
to the escalating housing market, there is concern with the age of the appraisal, and the staff
recommendation is that the appraised amount be adjusted to more accurately reflect the
market value. Based on this concern, the estimated value on the lot has been increased from
the appraised value of $602,000.00 to $752,000.00. The applicant is in agreement with the
revised value.
The amount as derived by this independent appraisal review must be approved by Council,
and the 5% payment in lieu ($37,600.00) must be paid by the applicant prior to subdivision
approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
That pursuant to Local Government Act, Section 510, regarding 5% Parkland Dedication or
payment of Money in Lieu, be it resolved that the owner of land proposed for subdivision at
12240 228 Street, under application 2015-343-SD, shall pay to the City of Maple Ridge an
amount that is not less than $37,600.00.
DISCUSSION:
An independent appraisal by West Coast Appraisals was done on April 11, 2016, regarding the
property located at 12240 228 Street (See Appendix A and B). The appraisal is based on
zoned but not serviced land. The market value reflected in the assessment report is based on
the ‘Direct Comparison Approach’ method, and comes to $40.00 per square foot x 15,041
square feet = $602,000.00 (rounded).
Given the escalating housing market there are concerns with establishing parkland
contribution using an appraisal that is approaching 3 months old. The Property & Risk
1105
- 2 -
Manager reviewed the appraisal and suggests this appraisal number is considered low,
relative to the current market values. In the current market place, a range of $50.00 - $55.00
per square foot would be a more accurate reflection of the market value, which would
translate into an overall value between $752,000.00 and $827,255.00, compared to
$602,000.00 as identified in the appraisal. These estimated findings have been confirmed by
an independent appraiser the City works with.
Section 510(6)(a) of the Local Government Act identifies that if an owner is to pay money for
parkland purposes, value may be determined by agreement between the owner and the local
government.
Based on the above staff worked with the applicant to come to a mutual agreement, and
established a current market value of $752.000,00.
ALTERNATIVE:
Should Council not be comfortable with the adjusted lot value of $752,000.00, the alternative
would be to require the applicant to submit an updated appraisal.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the market value of the land located at 12240 228 Street be
established as $752,000.00. As a requirement stated in the Preliminary Review Letter, dated
February 3, 2016, the applicant will pay 5% of the value of the property, resulting in the
amount of $37,600.00 to be paid prior to subdivision approval.

SUBJECTSUBJECTSUBJECTSUBJECT: Townhall Public House Liquor License Application
EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:SUMMARY:SUMMARY:SUMMARY:
The Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) have received a liquor primary licence application
from Townhall Holdings (Maple Ridge) Ltd. located at 200 – 20690 Lougheed Highway. Townhall
Holdings (Maple Ridge) Ltd. operates under the name of Townhall Public House which operates as a
licenced restaurant and currently holds a Food Primary Licence which is in effect from 9:00am to
Midnight for 212 occupants with no restrictions on allowing minors in the restaurant.
The Townhall Public House has applied to the LCLB for a Liquor Primary Licence, which if approved,
will be in effect from 9:00am to 2:00am, Monday to Sunday and would allow minors until 10:00pm.
The total person capacity/occupant load would stay the same, at 212 occupants.
One of the considerations utilized by the LCLB in reviewing an application for a liquor primary licence
is a resolution from the local government. A number of regulatory criteria must be addressed in the
Council resolution as well as comments pertaining to the views expressed by area residents. Council
may choose to support the application, not support the application or indicate they do not wish to
comment.
In compliance with the public input requirement, 373 letters were sent to owners and occupants of
property within 200 metres of the subject site. Five (5) responses were received, all opposed to the
proposed amendment.

Page 2222 of 3333
LCLB has completed their initial review of the application and have determined applicant
suitability and eligibility for the establishment type. The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw does
permit a liquor primary establishment at this location and the business has a current and
valid Business Licence. The second phase of the application process is the gathering of
public input on the application request.
The LCLB guidelines request a specific Council resolution commenting on the application in
terms of community impacts which may occur as a result of the proposed change to the
establishment operations as a result to the proposed change. Part of the process requires
Council to gather views of the residents who may be affected by the establishment of the
liquor primary license in their neighbourhood.
In following the public input requirement, 373 letters were sent to owners and occupants of
property within approximately 200 metres of the subject site with the vast majority of the
recipients being residents and the rest of the property owners showing as registered
companies. Of the 373 letters sent to surrounding property owners and occupants, there
were 5 responses opposed to the proposed amendment.
The City also posted a Public Notice in the local newspaper running in two separate editions;
May 13 and May 18, 2016.
Notwithstanding the few responses received, it is acknowledged that residents in the area
have previously raised concerns regarding the interface of the restaurant with the adjoining
residential neighbourhood. The residents in the area have voiced concerns previously about
the imposition caused by non resident parking.
The Maple Ridge RCMP Detachment was asked for their input on this matter and they have
advised that although there have been 31 calls for service at this location within the last year
(calls ranging from false alarms to causing a disturbance); they do not have any operational
issues with this application.
The Townhall Public House is located in an area boarding multiple family residential
properties. There are 5 townhouse complexes located on the street behind this business.
While there is adequate parking on the subject property to satisfy and meet municipal
parking requirements for this proposed change, there is a possibility that there could be an
overflow into the surrounding residential area.
The three closest liquor primary licensed premises to the subject property are:
•Shooters Bar – 20644 Dewdney Trunk Rd
•Dartford Social House – 11232 Dartford St
•Haney Motor Hotel – 22222 Lougheed Highway

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW
SUBJECT: Bus Rapid Transit Study
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The provision of adequate transportation options throughout Metro Vancouver and especially in
outlying suburbs such as Maple Ridge is one of the Region’s most significant challenges. In 2014
the Mayors Council developed a Vision document that proposed a suite of transportation
improvements across the Region that included rapid transit, buses, roads, cycling and walking as
well as system management. A small number of projects comprise the majority of funding, namely
the Broadway Corridor rapid transit, Skytrain to South Surrey and the Patullo Bridge replacement.
For Maple Ridge, the improvements include improved West Coast Express service, a new B-Line bus
to Coquitlam, improved bus service as well as funding for major road upgrades.
The B-Line, or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) to Coquitlam noted in the Mayors Vision was also identified in
the City’s Strategic Transportation Plan adopted in 2014, and the City undertook a study of Light Rail
Transit along the Lougheed Highway corridor in 2007.
The implementation of a BRT route to Coquitlam along Lougheed Highway requires considerable
planning and evaluation to determine not only the route itself but the potential locations for stations
as well as potential land use changes in the vicinity of stations, evaluation of various transit options,
the ability to implement the preferred solution in different stages, identify potential areas of conflict
or constraints along the proposed corridor.
Maple Ridge initiated discussions with Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam as well as Translink
to ascertain the level of interest in partnering to undertake a BRT evaluation study on Lougheed
Highway to connect to the Evergreen Line in Coquitlam. All parties expressed an interest in
participating in the study and the City has developed a Request for Proposal document that has been
reviewed by and agreed to by all parties.
The project budget for the BRT Study has been established at $120,000, half of which would be
funded by Translink, with the remainder to be split equally between the four municipalities. While
there has been no formal agreement established to date, all parties have indicated a willingness to
participate financially to some degree, and Translink has confirmed their contribution. City staff will
act as the project manager for the BRT Study although an inter-agency Liaison Committee will be
created for the duration of the project.
1107
The study will result in a report that should form the basis for swift implementation of the BRT
service once funding becomes available from higher levels of government.
The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s support for the BRT Study and approval of up to
$15,000 as the City’s contribution to the study budget.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
THAT the City of Maple Ridge participate in the Bus Rapid Transit Study for the Lougheed Highway
Corridor in partnership with the Cities of Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and Coquitlam as well as
Translink, and
THAT the City of Maple Ridge contribute $15,000 to the funding of the Bus Rapid Transit Study from
Accumulated Surplus and that the Financial Plan be amended accordingly.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
In early 2014 the Metro Vancouver Mayors Council on Regional Transportation (Mayors Council)
was tasked by the provincial government to confirm its vision for improving the transportation
networks in the Region. The Mayors Council developed an expansive Vision for the next 30 years
that identified a suite of integrated transportation improvements ranging from road
improvements, rail and rapid transit, increased bus service as well as improved cycling and
walking facilities.
The components of the Mayors Vision that are relevant to Maple Ridge include:
• A new B-Line, or BRT service to Coquitlam Centre to access the new Evergreen Line
• Five new rail cars to augment the existing train capacity with a future new locomotive
with five cars
• Funding for major road upgrades
• Increased bus service
• Improved walking and cycling facilities around bus stops and train stations
The Mayors Vision was put to the public in a plebiscite in June of 2014, based upon funding the
Vision through a regional sales tax but was voted down by a wide margin.
The provision of a B-Line, or BRT service from Maple Ridge through neighbouring communities to
Coquitlam Centre and the new Evergreen Line is an important component in the effort to lessen
the dependency upon the single occupancy vehicle. The Mayors Vision document indicates the
timing of the new BRT service to be in the first five years of the program but it is not included in
the recently announced funding.
That said there is significant benefit in undertaking an exercise to verify:
• The contemplated BRT corridor
• Appropriate technologies
• Potential station locations
• Possible staging strategies
• Land use considerations
• Viability of expanded or new park-n-ride facilities
• Possible constraints, especially around intersections and river crossings
• Development of typical road cross-sections at various locations along the corridor
A Liaison Committee including all parties would be formed to provide feedback throughout the
duration of the project. Maple Ridge has offered to project manage the study through to
completion.
City staff have created a Request for Proposal (RFP) document that has been circulated to the
other municipalities along the proposed BRT corridor – Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam and
Coquitlam – as well as Translink, and all parties have reached consensus on the scope of work
and deliverables. All parties have also indicated a willingness to provide a financial contribution
although this would have to be confirmed prior to issuing the RFP.
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The provision of a BRT service along Lougheed Highway is important to Maple Ridge as it
provides residents an option to utilize a reliable transit service and connect into the new
Evergreen Line rather than rely upon the single occupancy vehicle. There are a number of
elements to be considered prior to the implementation of a BRT service and undertaking this
study would assist in the identification of concerns or constraints as well as the development of
solutions so that when the funds are made available the implementation time should be
minimised as the majority of issues should have been addressed.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Improved transit options, both local and regional services will assist in reducing the reliance
upon single occupancy vehicles while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The BRT service along Lougheed Highway will provide Maple Ridge residents with options when
seeking to travel around the Region by connecting into the new Evergreen Skytrain line.
Council and staff will continue to lobby for additional transit services for Maple Ridge as it is
clearly established that the current transit coverage is sadly lacking both in area coverage as well
as levels of service.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department will be the lead department and will project manage the study but
there will be a significant contribution from the Planning Department, especially with regards to
land use along the proposed BRT corridor.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
As stated previously the City is expecting each of the municipal partners to contribute $15,000
to the study and Translink will be contributing $60,000 to the study.
The BRT Study is not currently funded in the Financial Plan so it is recommended that the City’s
contribution of $15,000 be funded from the Accumulated Surplus and the Financial Plan
amended accordingly.
g) Alternatives:
Should the BRT Study not proceed at this time then no work on the feasibility of the BRT corridor
would be undertaken until such time as funding becomes available and this would obviously
extend the timeline for implementation.
CONCLUSIONS:
The BRT service is an important transit linkage for Maple Ridge as it will provide fast, reliable service
to Coquitlam to tie into the Evergreen Skytrain line. Undertaking the study will not only identify
issues for consideration but provide solutions around the appropriate technologies, corridor layout,
station locations and potential staging. The study will result in a report that should form the basis for
swift implementation of the BRT service once funding becomes available from higher levels of
government.

SUBJECT: Master Agreement on Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public Facilities and
Coordination of Services
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 31, 2016 the Joint Leisure Services Agreement between the City of Maple Ridge and the
City of Pitt Meadows will conclude and each City will move forward with the independent provision of
parks, recreation and cultural services to their citizens. Given this change, the Master Agreement on
Cooperation for Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination of Services (Master Agreement)
between the City of Maple Ridge and the City of Pitt Meadows acting together through the Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services Commission (Commission) and the Board of
Education, School District No.42 (SD42), which provided a foundation for collaboration in the past
will become obsolete.
As both Councils and the Board of Education have expressed strong interest in maintaining a
cooperative and collaborative working relationship as we move forward, staff are recommending that
both Cities and SD42 amend and renew the Master Agreement to establish clear principles and
processes for how we will work together in the future.
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff be directed to work with the City of Pitt Meadows and the Board of Education, School
District No.42 to amend and renew the Master Agreement on Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public
Facilities and Coordination of Services.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The City of Maple Ridge has enjoyed an excellent working relationship over many years with the
City of Pitt Meadows and SD42, which has benefited area residents. The Master Agreement has
been a foundational document that articulates the key principles of this cooperative relationship.
It outlines a process for the parties to work together, and forms the Steering Committee which
ensures regular communication on significant projects and timely discussion on upcoming
opportunities. Past examples include the acquisition, construction and operation of community
amenities on joint park/school sites. (Master Agreement attached).
Parties to the agreement are the City of Maple Ridge and the City of Pitt Meadows acting
together through the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Parks and Leisure Services Commission
and the Board of Education, School District No.42. Due to the pending dissolution of the
Commission, it is timely to update the Master Agreement so that the benefits that have been
derived from this agreement can continue to be achieved. The agreement is also somewhat
1151
2
dated and a review will provide an opportunity to refine it into a concise and useful document
that will guide staff from each organization regarding how we work together in the future.
While the Master Agreement outlines expectations between the three parties to the agreement
regarding the principles and approaches that we will use when working together, it is the sub-
agreements (listed in Appendix B of the Master Agreement) that form legally binding contracts
that outline the roles, responsibilities and specifics related to each particular project.
Looking ahead, the Master Agreement can continue to provide an effective vehicle to articulate
the expectations of cooperation that Council discussed in a ‘Working Together’ session with Pitt
Meadows Council on February 29, 2016. For example, principles of cooperation and
communication related to policy, fee setting and program development can be enhanced.
In addition, the Master Agreement also delineates the process that each City and SD42 would
undertake when more formal agreements are required. For example, this would include
collaboration on future joint/park and recreation sites with SD42, and if needed, agreements
around topics such as a shared field and facility allocation function and joint marketing initiatives
with the City of Pitt Meadows and/or SD42. However, before establishing new sub-agreements
such as this, staff recommends that the Master Agreement be updated to reflect the evolution of
the relationship between the parties and confirmation of the principles and processes that we
are agreeing to.
On June 22, 2016, staff met with City of Pitt Meadows and School District No.42 staff to discuss
the value of the Master Agreement and confirmed support at a staff level for the
recommendation in this report. Having said that, there are a number of changes that staff will be
proposing regarding the structure and content of the agreement if Council approves this work to
proceed.
b)Desired Outcome:
To establish agreed upon principles and processes that will provide a foundation of cooperation
and collaboration between the two municipalities and SD42 to gain efficiencies or improve
services to citizens.
c)Citizen/Customer Implications:
Citizens will benefit from the renewal of this agreement due to the benefits that can be achieved.
d)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The Master Agreement does not impose a financial obligation on any party. Principles that would
be maintained are the ability of each party to control and manage the financial implication of any
commitment and a focus on ensuring the efficient use of taxpayers’ resources.
e)Alternatives:
If Council chooses not to amend and renew the Master Agreement it will become less effective
over time. To terminate the agreement would require one year’s written notice to the other
parties. Staff’s recommendation is that the agreement be updated and renewed so that staff
have clear direction from Councils and the Board of Education regarding how we will work
together in the future.

CONCLUSIONS:
If Council endorses the recommendation in this report to direct staff to work with the City of Pitt
Meadows and the Board of Education, School District No.42 to update the Master Agreement on
Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination of Services, staff anticipate that a
similar recommendation will then be brought forward to Pitt Meadows Council and the Board of
Education, based on recent discussions with staff from those organizations.

Master Agreement on Cooperation and Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination of Services

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: July 4, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: PITT MEADOWS REQUEST FOR SPORT FIELD MAINTENANCE
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the May 2, 2016 Workshop, Council received a request from Pitt Meadows Council to continue to
provide sportsfield maintenance service for the City of Pitt Meadows commencing November 1,
2016. This item was referred to staff to review and bring back to Council.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That staff be directed to continue to provide sport field maintenance services to the City of Pitt
Meadows for a period of one year on a full cost recovery basis, including a 15% administration fee
that may be incurred through the provision of this service; and,
That consideration be given to providing one additional year of field maintenance services if the City
of Pitt Meadows requests a one-year extension of this service prior to November 2017.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Parks and Leisure Services staff has been maintaining the Pitt Meadows sports fields for the last
twenty-one years as part of the Joint Leisure Services Agreement. As a result, the City of Pitt
Meadows does not currently have in house expertise or the necessary equipment required to
look after their fields in the short term and, they have requested that Maple Ridge Parks staff
continue to maintain their fields to the same standards that have been applied in the past for a
period of up to two years.
The maintenance that will be required includes, but is not limited to activities such as:
The mowing of sports fields twice per week during the growing season
Irrigation system maintenance and repair, as well as spring set up and winterizing
Water management per Metro Vancouver regulations
Fertilizer applications four times per growing season
Inspection of field surfaces for defects and repair
Deep core aeration once per year (minimum)
Slit tine aeration one to two times per year
Lime application once per year
Marking fields for lining once per year
Maintenance of the PMSS synthetic sport field
1152
2
Top dressing fields once per year (where necessary)
Make recommendations to Pitt Meadows staff for capital repairs
Moving/removing goals
Maintain dugouts
Vacuuming turf fields as necessary (when excessive growth occurs)
b) Desired Outcome:
To ensure that the transition to an independent parks and recreation services model is as
seamless as possible for community sport groups. By continuing to provide sport field
maintenance services to Pitt Meadows in the short term, it will reduce the likelihood of any
disruption to the playability or availability of existing play field inventory.
c) Strategic Alignment
Although the decision was made to end the Joint Leisure Services Agreement, considerable
effort has gone into making the transition as smooth as possible, so that current
maintenance standards and services to our community sport groups and associations
remains consistent.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In most cases our sport groups are named either “Meadow Ridge” or Ridge Meadows” sport
associations, which serve citizens in both communities. If this request was denied it has the
potential to cause a negative impact on both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows sports
participants.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
It is anticipated that there will continue to be some Maple Ridge support services such as
purchasing and finance that would support Parks and Facilities in this regard, and a 15%
administration charge should be applied to cover these costs.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The parks and facilities business plan has not yet been developed for 2017 and could likely
accommodate continuing to complete this sport field maintenance function in Pitt Meadows
until they acquire the necessary equipment and hire staff to complete this work themselves.
g) Policy Implications:
Staff do not anticipate that there will be any need or desire to be involved in any policy,
reporting or administrative functions for Pitt Meadows in this regard; the service levels would
be that which is applied to Maple Ridge Sports fields on a full cost recovery basis.
h) Alternatives:
The alternative would be to decline the request. The City of Pitt Meadows could retain the
services of contractors to complete this work in the interim, or could establish their own sport
field maintenance division sooner rather than later.

CONCLUSIONS:
Generally the sports community have been satisfied with the level of maintenance of sports fields in
both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The City of Maple Ridge has invested in an appropriate level of
specialized equipment over the last several years allowing for the safe playable surfaces. Many of
the field maintenance implements that Maple Ridge has acquired could be a significant cost, and
may take some time for Pitt Meadows to obtain. Given adequate notice and full cost recovery, staff
would be able to continue the provision of sport field maintenance for an additional one to two year
period.
