QUESTION PERIOD
The purpose of the Question Period is to provide the public with an opportunity to
ask questions of Council on items that are of concern to them, with the exception of
Public Hearing by-laws which have not yet reached conclusion.
Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff
members.
Each person will be permitted 2 minutes to ask their question (a second
opportunity is permitted if no one else is sitting in the chairs in front of the podium).
Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to individual
members of Council. The total Question Period is limited to 15 minutes.
Council reserves the right to defer responding to a question in order to obtain the
information required to provide a complete and accurate response.
Other opportunities are available to address Council including public hearings,
delegations and community forum. The public may also make their views known to
Council by writing or via email and by attending open houses, workshops and
information meetings. Serving on an Advisory Committee is an excellent way to

Milestones movie that has been created by Fraser Health and the preview of the film

5.6 Community Resource Fair Report
The Community Services Directory reviewed the 2014 Community Resource Fair
final report submission from the Community Network. SPAC provides a grant to the
Community Network and their partners to host the resource fair which provides a
good opportunity for organizations to both inform the community of the services
available as well as for local agencies to meet each other and stay connected.
6. OLD BUSINESS
6.1 Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS) Funding Update
The Community Services Director informed the group that the selection of
successful projects is complete but not yet published. The primary focus for this
round of funding was a Housing First model and Maple Ridge did not obtain funding
through the non-Housing First funding stream. As a result there will be a net loss of
services that will have an impact on the community.
6.2 Iron Horse Youth Safe House (IHYSH) Update
The Community Services Director shared an update provided by Alouette Home Start
Society on funding status for IHYSH. The group’s contract with Service Canada
ended on December 31, 2014 however, a plea to the community for support has
resulted in excess of $25,000 in donations, enough to allow the program to operate
for one more month. Local Tim Horton’s owners pledged $12,500 in dollar
matching funds to kick off the collection campaign. The safe house is currently full
and the IHYSH board is working to keep the program operating for at least the
month of January.
The Community Services Director explained that Mayor Read continues to advocate
on behalf of IHYSH to the provincial and federal governments. City staff will
continue to work with Mayor Read and IHYSH to obtain funding. IHYSH was thanked
for their hard work and contribution to the community. Candace Gordon praised the
staff at IHYSH for all their hard work and commitment to the program during this
time of uncertainty.
6.3 Integrated Response Team Update - Deferred
7. COMMITTEE REPORTS
7.1 Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows-Katzie Community Network (CN) Update
Vicki Kipps explained the CN is a large group of organizations working to make a
truly inclusive community. Ms. Kipps reported on the Community Chest program,
which is a partnership between the CN and the Maple Ridge Community Foundation.
This innovative program was designed to build momentum for a new way of giving
Social Planning Advisory Committee Regular Minutes Page 3 of 5
Social Planning Advisory Committee
Regular Meeting Minutes January 7, 2015
where no gift is too small and it is recognized that each contribution has the power
to transform the life of both the recipient and the donor. This synergy is both a
catalyst for change and a foundation for new connections and opportunities. The
Community Chest offers support to individuals and families that are experiencing
crisis and are in need of ‘one time’ assistance to strengthen their capacity to
respond and react to change. Thirty-one cases were served during the successful
one year pilot. The partners are working on plans for the new year.
7.2 Neighbourhood Development Update
The Community Services Director gave a presentation on the Neighbourhood
Development program. The program is designed to assist in identifying
neighbourhood champions and provide opportunities for all champions to come
together and connect, share ideas, and mentor each other. Eighty people attended
the most recent meeting of champions and many incredible stories were shared.
Highlights from 2014 were that a record number of fifty-three block parties were
held across the community and that the new pilot program that provides matching
funds for neighbourhoods that pledge their volunteer labor resulted in four
innovative projects. Another Neighbourhood Development project is the
Intergenerational Garden a project supported by three partners: the Seniors
Network and Ridge Meadows Seniors Society, the School District, and Parks and
Leisure Services. This garden has very successfully brought school children and
teachers from two local schools together with together with community members to
learn about growing and harvesting produce.
8. ROUNDTABLE
Annette Morgan has recently completed an application for a provincial advisory group on
seniors. The B.C. Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, is seeking applicants for a council of
advisers on seniors’ issues and over four hundred applications have been received. The
council, which will be made up of 25-30 volunteer seniors from around the province, will
represent diverse backgrounds, ages, geographical areas and cultures.
Vicki Kipps shared her positive experience with the Mobile Library Bus program. The library
has an SUV that brings music and books out to the community to increase access to literacy.
Ms. Kipps also reported on Alicia’s Wish, a new initiative in our community which is the
result of over two years of collaborative efforts by a multidisciplinary team. The Centre
provides a centralized child/youth friendly wrap-around service for children and youth aged
18 years and younger who are victims of abuse and/or witness to violence, and their non-
offending family members.
Candace Gordon reported that during December the library accepted food bank donations in
return for forgiveness of overdue book fines. Many organizations and businesses do a lot of
their fundraising during the winter to support food security for the whole year. Ms. Gordon
will be working with Mana Bayanzadeh from Fraser Health on a food security policy for
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
Jassy Maghera outlined the work done by the Family Education and Support Centre to
support newcomers to Canada. Data is being collected to create an asset map that will
reflect information on immigrant populations to aid in the planning of service provision.
Mana Bayanzadeh reported that Dr. Shovita Padhi will be the new local representative from

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 24152 112 Avenue,
from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
and P-1 (Park and School) to allow for future subdivision into approximately 25 lots and a
neighbourhood park. The applicant intends to choose the Density Bonus option within the RS-1b
(One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling
single-family lot sizes of a minimum of 371 m². The required amenity fee of $3,100.00 for each lot
less than 557 m² will be collected by the Approving Officer at the subdivision approval stage.
The subject property is currently designated Institutional and Conservation and was intended for a
joint school and park site. However, a letter from School District 42 was received on November 10,
2009, indicating that at the time, they were not in a position to purchase the subject property for a
school. Comments received from School District 42 on November 5, 2014 state that the
information provided in the November 10, 2009 letter has not changed and will not change until
after a Facilities Consultation and Strategic Facilities Plan has been completed. This consultation is
expected to occur by October 2015. It is our understanding that School District 42 has purchased
two lots on 104 Avenue (24137 104 Avenue and the adjacent property to the west) and have noted
that these properties are considered the priority school site in Albion.
Seigel Creek is located along the length of the western property line, and the setback area for the
steep slopes and creek will be dedicated as park for Conservation. In addition, approximately 0.81
hectares (2 acres) of parkland is proposed to be purchased by the City of Maple Ridge (the City) for a
Neighbourhood Park, in the northeast portion of the subject property.
This application requires an amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP) to re-designate the
land use from Institutional to Low-Medium Density Residential and Park, and to adjust the area
designated Conservation around the watercourse and steep slopes.

On January 14, 2014 Council gave first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7041-2013 to rezone
the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential) and considered the early consultation requirements for the OCP amendment.

The subject property is approximately 4.46 ha (11 acres) in size and is bounded by 112 Avenue and
single family residential to the north; and single family residential to the east, south, and west (see
Appendix A). The subject property has a watercourse and steep slopes located along the western
portion of the site, which will be dedicated as park for Conservation. An OCP amendment is required
to amend the Institutional designation over the remaining portion of the subject property to Park in
the northern central portion of the property, and Low/Medium Density Residential over the
remaining eastern half of the property. Access will be provided from 112 Avenue and a new road,
extending from 112 Avenue southward to the southern property line, with the potential to serve
lands to the south.
The applicant intends to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-
1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) and P-1 (Park and School) to allow for future
subdivision into approximately 25 lots and a neighbourhood park. The applicant intends to choose
the Density Bonus option within the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone,
which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-family lot sizes of a minimum of 371 m². The
required amenity fee of $3,100.00 for each lot less than 557 m² will be collected by the Approving
Officer at the subdivision approval stage.

The subject property is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Institutional
and Conservation. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to re-
designate the eastern half of the property, currently designated Institutional, to Low/Medium
Density Residential and Park, and the western half of the property, currently designated
Conservation and Institutional to Conservation (see Appendix B).
In order to proceed with the change in land use from Institutional to Low/Medium Density
Residential, a referral to School District 42 was sent, seeking their comments on whether or not the
subject property is within their long-range capital plan. The School District submitted a letter dated
November 10, 2009, indicating that at that time they were not in a position to proceed with
development of a school. Comments received from School District 42 on November 5 and 25,
2014, state that the information provided in the November 10, 2009 letter has not changed and will
not until after a Facilities Consultation and Strategic Plan has been completed. The School Board
expects that this work will be completed by October 2015.
The School District 42 owns two lots on 104 Avenue (24137 104 Avenue and the adjacent property
to the west) and have noted that these properties are considered the priority school site.
The application is in compliance with the following Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program
policies:
- 5 -
10 - 4 A Density Bonus through the Community Amenity Program will be permitted on lands
designated Low Density Residential, Low-Medium Density Residential and Medium
Density Residential in the Albion Area Plan.
10 - 5 Where a Density Bonus option is utilized in a single-family subdivision, an Amenity
Contribution is to be applied to all of the single-family lots in the subdivision that
exceed the base density permitted in the zone.
10 - 7 Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the development
review process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land use
designation change that would permit a higher density than currently permitted.
10 - 8 A Density Bonus will only be permitted on those lands that are located entirely within
the boundaries of the Albion Area Plan and Urban Area Boundary.
The application is also in compliance with the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996–2013, that permits a
Density Bonus option in the Residential Low/Medium Density designation in the Albion Area Plan.
The applicant intends to apply the Density Bonus option to this project, as discussed in the Project
Description above.

The applicant has requested to rezone the development site from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to P-1 (Park and School) and RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
(see Appendix C), with a Density Bonus, in accordance with the Community Amenity Program, which
received final reading on October 8, 2013.
The Community Amenity Program is detailed in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996 – 2013, which will
permit the following:
For the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, the base density is a
net lot area of 557 m2. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone and shall be applied as follows:
a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision
containing one or more lots with an area of less than 557 m2, payable when the
Approving Officer approves the subdivision.
b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i. minimum net lot area of 371 m2;
ii. minimum lot width of 12.0 m;
iii. minimum lot depth of 24 m.
- 6 -
c. Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 (Residential District) zone will apply
and supersede the zoning requirements for the RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone.
The proposed development consists of approximately 25 R-1 (Residential District) zone sized lots
(see Appendix D), amounting to an Amenity Contribution of approximately $77,500.00. The final
number of lots and amenity contribution will be determined at the time of subdivision approval.

As there are more than two additional lots proposed to be created, the developer will be required to
comply with the park dedication requirements of Section 941 of the Local Government Act prior to
subdivision approval.
For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as park for Conservation on
the subject property on the west side, and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of
Final Reading. In addition, approximately 0.81 ha (2 acres) of park land is proposed to be
purchased by the City for a Neighbourhood Park, in the northeast portion of the subject property.

A 30 m setback has been provided from the top of bank of Seigel Creek. A small tributary running
east-west near the northern end of the property was initially identified as “indefinite” and it was later
determined that there was no watercourse or tributary located in that area. Therefore, no additional
setback was required for this tributary.
The Environmental Impact Assessment, the Enhancement proposal, the Arborist Report, the
Geotechnical Report, and the Stormwater Management plan have been reviewed. The geotechnical
consultant is to coordinate their recommendations with the environmental consultant, civil engineer,
and arborist to ensure the environmental objectives are achieved. Restoration measures with a cost
estimate and security deposit are required, including a five-year maintenance period.

Staff from the Parks and Leisure Services Department and the Manager of Property and Risk
Management have been in discussion with the applicant to acquire a portion of the subject property
for Neighbourhood Park purposes. The applicant has provided a proposed plan of subdivision
indicating approximately 0.81 hectares (2 acres) of land for the Neighbourhood Park. This
information will be shared with an appraiser retained by the City to determine fair market value for
the park land. The Manager of Properties and Risk Management will bring a separate report to

Local Government ActLocal Government ActLocal Government ActLocal Government Act::::
An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to
adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 879 of the Local
Government Act.
Section 879 of the Local Government Act requires that Council give consideration to whether
consultation with one or more of the persons, organizations, and authorities should be early and
ongoing. Council must specifically consider whether consultation is required with the authorities
listed in item (2) of Section 879 below.
“Consultation during OCP development Section 879
(1) During the development of an official community plan, or the repeal or amendment of an
official community plan, the proposing local government must provide one or more
opportunities it considers appropriate for consultation with persons, organizations and
authorities it considers will be affected.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the local government must:
a. Consider whether the opportunities for consultation with one or more of the persons,
organizations and authorities should be early and ongoing, and
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. School district boards, greater boards and improvement district boards, and
vi. The Provincial and federal governments and their agencies.
(3) Consultation under this section is in addition to the public hearing required under section
882(3) (d).”
- 9 -
In addition to the above, Section 881 of the Local Government Act requires consultation with the
School Board during the preparation of an OCP amendment:
(1) If a local government has adopted or proposes to adopt or amend an official community
plan for an area that includes the whole or any part of one or more school districts, the
local government must consult with the boards of education for those school districts
a. At the time of preparing or amending the community plan, and
b. In any event, at least once in each calendar year.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
School District 42School District 42School District 42School District 42::::
In light of Sections 879 and 881 of the Local Government Act, a referral was sent to School District
42. Comments received from School District 42 on November 5 and 25, 2014, state that the
information provided in the November 10, 2009 letter (see Appendix E), has not changed and will
not until after a Facilities Consultation and Strategic Plan has been completed. The School Board
expects that this work will be completed by October 2015 (see Appendix F).
In the Strategic Facilities Review – Phase 1 , dated April 9, 2014, an enrolment growth projection of
141 elementary students for the East Capital Zone was projected. The East Capital Zone
encompasses the Albion Area Plan and currently includes six elementary schools: Kanaka Creek
Elementary, Albion Elementary, Alexander Robinson Elementary, Whonnock Elementary, Blue
Mountain Elementary, and Webster’s Corners Elementary. The Strategic Facilities Review notes the
following:
“This means the forecasted enrolment growth will need to be accommodated at the other two
schools [Blue Mountain Elementary and Webster’s Corners Elementary] or with a new
elementary school.
The forecasted enrolment at Blue Mountain Elementary is expected to decrease. Currently there
are 95 surplus spaces. By 2023, this will increase to 107 spaces.
By 2023, although there is forecasted to be some increase in enrolment, Webster’s Corners
Elementary is expected to still have 18 surplus spaces.
Between these two elementary schools, the total surplus spaces should be 125 students by
2023. A portable classroom could be added on site at either school to accommodate all of the
forecasted increase of 141 elementary enrolment until 2023.
The school district may also consider requesting Ministry of Education funding for building an
additional elementary school, as requested in previous capital plans. This would also provide
sufficient space for future enrolment growth beyond 2023.”

The properties on 104 Avenue, located at 24137 104 Avenue and the adjacent property to the west,
are currently owned by the School District.

SUBJECT: Final Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011
24311 and 24361 124 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and
subsequently was granted third reading. The applicant has requested that final reading be granted.
The purpose of the rezoning is to permit subdivision into 4 single family residential lots not less than
0.40 ha (1 acre) in size.
Council granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 on May 10, 2011. Council
granted second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 on November 8, 2011. This
application was presented at Public Hearing on December 13, 2011, and Council granted third
reading on December 13, 2011. Council granted a first extension on January 8, 2013, and a second
extension on February 25, 2014.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 be adopted.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
A rezoning application has been received for the subject property, located at 24311 and 24361 124
Avenue (See Appendix A). The purpose of the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 is to rezone the
subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
(See Appendix B), to permit subdivision of 4 single family residential lots.
Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on December 13, 2011. On
December 13, 2011 Council granted third reading to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-
2011 with the stipulation that the following conditions be addressed:
i.Road dedication, as required;
ii.Removal of existing deck on proposed Lot 1;
iii.A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether
there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site
profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the
regulations;
iv. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act,
the subdivider will provide a Site Profile for the subject lands.
1001
- 2 -
The following applies to the above:
1. Road dedication on 124 Avenue has been provided;
2. The existing portion of deck on proposed Lot 1 that was encroaching into setback area
has been removed;
3. A disclosure statement submitted on August 27, 2014 indicates that no underground
fuel or storage tanks exist on the subject property;
4. A Site Profile was provided for the subject property.
b) Planning Analysis:
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. This land use designation supports a single detached housing form serviced by
municipal water and sanitary sewer, the latter due to the subject property’s location in the Fraser
Sewerage Area. As indicated in Appendix C of the OCP, the RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
zone aligns with the Estate Suburban Residential designation; therefore, the subject application is in
compliance with the OCP.
Properties in the surrounding neighbourhood bound by Ansell Street to the east, 241 Street to the
west, 126 Avenue to the north, and 124 Avenue to the south are also designated Estate Suburban
Residential; and several of these properties have been similarly developed in recent years. The flat
topography, absence of watercourses, existing subdivision geometry, and availability of municipal
water and sanitary services are conducive to suburban development, with overall densities of one
dwelling unit per 0.4 ha (1 acre). It is anticipated that the long-term development of the
neighbourhood will be to a suburban level and style of development.
CONCLUSION:
As the applicant has met Council’s conditions, it is recommended that final reading be given to
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6817-2011 to permit subdivision into 4 single family
residential lots.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone a portion of the subject property (Appendix A) from R-1
(Residential District) and R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to R-2 (Urban Residential District)
to permit a future subdivision into approximately 18 lots. To proceed further with this application
additional information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the

iii.The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv.First Nations;
v.School District Boards, 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 Official Community Plan amendments on the City’s
website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7124-2014 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, B, F and G of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 and a Subdivision application.

b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is located on the south side of 136 Avenue and east of the Hampstead
development on 230A Street. The property slopes down from north to south and most of the property
is forested except the north end where an older house fronts onto 136 Avenue. A tributary of Cattell
Brook is located on the property to the east (23060 136 Avenue) and the 30 metre setback to the
watercourse encroaches slightly onto the northeast corner of this property.
- 3 -
c) Project Description:
The property was included in application RZ/093/06 along with the Hampstead site to the west
(Appendix B) which rezoned this property to R-1 (Residential District), R-3 (Special Amenity
Residential District) and RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) for a future
subdivision of approximately 16 lots (Appendix C). A parcel of land at the south end of the site was
dedicated as park at that time. The application received final approval from Council on July 26,
2011. The owner did not proceed with the subsequent subdivision of the land, but opted to wait
until the Hampstead development had completed the new roads (230A Street and 134 Loop) which
provide access to this site.
Since that time the new R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone has been adopted. The owner is
proposing to rezone a portion of the R-1 zoned area and the R-3 zoned area to the R-2 zone and
revise the subdivision plan for a total of 18 lots, an increase of 2 lots, and approximately 500m² of
additional park area (Appendix D and Appendix E). The applicant is not proposing to change the
zoning for proposed Lot 1 (RS-1b) or Lots 2, 3 and 9 – 11 (R-1).
On the property to the east (Robinson site, 23154 136 Avenue) development application 2013-085-
RZ has been received to rezone the site to R-2 (Urban Residential District) for approximately 27 lots.
That application received first reading on October 22, 2013, and is expected to proceed to second
reading in the next few weeks.
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 south of the Blaney Hamlet in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The site,
as a whole, is currently designated Eco-Clusters, Conservation and Low/Medium Density Residential.
The area to be rezoned with this application is designated Eco-Clusters which has a density range of
5-15 units per hectare (upha) and development can include a variety of housing types. The
previously proposed subdivision would have had a density of 9.4 upha, and the revised subdivision
proposal (18 lots on the 1.7ha site) will have a density of 10.5 upha, which is in the middle of the
density range for Eco-Clusters development.
In addition, the applicant is proposing that approximately 500m² of additional park land be
dedicated for protection of the natural environment. This will provide additional green space
between the groups of lots. An OCP amendment will be required to re-designate the park from Eco-
Clusters to Conservation. The land use boundaries for the rest of the site will not change from those
approved with the previous rezoning application (RZ/093/06).
- 4 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone a portion of the property from R-1 (Residential District)
and R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to R-2 (Urban Residential District) (Appendix F). This
would permit a future subdivision of approximately 18 lots.
The minimum lot size for the R-1 zone is 371m² and for the R-3 zone is 213m². The minimum lot
size for the proposed R-2 zoned lots is 315m². Any variations from the requirements of the
proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permit:
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.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application as fewer than 25 lots are
proposed.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Parks Department;
e) School District; 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 this
evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan 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:
- 5 -
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
3. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
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 policies of the OCP. Justification has been
provided to support an OCP amendment to redesignate a small portion of the site from Eco-Clusters
to Conservation. 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.

b) Background:
This site was the subject of a Rezoning and Subdivision application in 2010 (RZ/074/10 and
SD/074/10) which was never completed because it expired. The proposal is identical to the earlier
application.
c) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is approximately 0.149 ha (0.37 acres) in size, is generally flat, and is bound by
single family residential properties to the north, east and south, and a commercial property to the
west (Pioneer Motor Group, Mr. Quick Lube) (see Appendix A).
d) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One-Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit future subdivision into three (3) single family
residential lots. Access is proposed to be off 117th Avenue.
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:
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit future subdivision into three (3) lots with a
minimum of 446 m2.
- 3 -
The adjacent properties are zoned RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and CS-1 (Service Commer-
cial). The property to the north (11736 Burnett Street) is in the process of rezoning to R-1
Residential District), plus the block of houses to the east on 117th Ave are all R-1 (Residential
District) zoned, making the proposed zone consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood.
The minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is 371 m2. Proposed lot sizes
for the application are respectively 446.4 m2, 471.6 m2 and 472.3 m2.
The proposed building envelopes are in compliance with the setbacks for this zone. Any variations
from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Official Community Plan (OCP)
The development site is currently designated Urban Residential-Neighbourhood Residential. The
Neighbourhood Residential designation allows for single detached dwellings and other housing
forms, subject to the Neighbourhood Residential Infill policies. The rezoning and subdivision of this
property into three Single Family lots and use of the R-1 (Residential District) zone is in compliance
with the OCP.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project.
Therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is less than 25 dwelling units.
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) Fire Department;
d) Licenses, Permits & Bylaws; and
e) 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.
- 4 -
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. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and
2. 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 and consistent with the earlier application,
therefore, it is 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.

2) Project Description:
The subject property is located on the north side of 121 Avenue, and is approximately 987 m² (0.24
acres) in size. The subject property is currently vacant and is bound by single family residential
properties to the north, west, east and south (see Appendix A). The subject property is flat with some
vegetation around the perimeter of the rear yard. The applicant proposes to rezone the subject
property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit future
subdivision into two single family residential lots.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The OCP designates the property Urban Residential, and is subject to the Major Corridor
infill policies of the OCP. These policies require that development be compatible with the
surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design setbacks and lot
configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The proposed rezoning
to R-1 (Residential District) is in conformance with the Urban Residential designation and
infill policies.
- 3 -
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) (see Appendix B) to permit future subdivision into
approximately two lots (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 R-1
(Residential District) zone is 371 m².
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves
the following variances:
1. Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993,
Schedule “B”: To reduce the road right-of-way width for a Collector Street standard
from 20 metres to 18 metres.
2. Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 3510-1985, Part 6, C, 11 (b): Height
increase from 9.0 metres to 11.0 metres
The requested variances will be the subject of a future report to Council.
iv) Development Permits:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for this single family residential
development.
v) Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required and therefore this application
does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
vi) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was not required for this development as it did not
require an OCP amendment and there is less than 25 dwelling units proposed, as per
Council Policy 6.20 for Development Information Meetings.
4) Environmental Implications:
The subject property is located within the Fraser River Escarpment area, where stormwater must be
directed to Municipal storm sewer, as per Council Policy 6.23 - Control of Surficial and Groundwater
Discharge in the Area Bounded by 207 Street, 124 Avenue, 224 Street and the Crest of the Fraser
River Escarpment. The applicant should retain as many of the existing trees as possible on the rear
yard perimeter of the subject property.
5) Traffic Impact:
As the subject property is located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, a referral has been
sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and granted Preliminary Approval on
September 15, 2014, for one year, pursuant to section 52(3)(a) of the Transportation Act.
- 4 -
6) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
A Rezoning Servicing Agreement is not required for this rezoning application, as there are no works
or services required for the rezoning. All deficient services will be provided through a Subdivision
Servicing Agreement at the time of subdivision.
CONCLUSION:
As this application is in compliance with the OCP, it is recommended that second reading be given to
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7095-2014, and that application 2014-037-RZ be forwarded
to Public Hearing.

the Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project - Phase 4; and further,
2.That the City will fund its share of eligible project costs, and all ineligible project costs, for the
Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project - Phase 4. The sources of funding are:
the Sewer Capital Fund ($600,000), a potential contribution from TransLink (estimated at
$200,000) and the remainder from General Revenue Fund surplus (up to $600,000).
BACKGROUND:
Senior governments grant monies to local governments and their partners on a periodic basis, but
they resist committing those funds on an ongoing basis. Where this is most problematic is in relation
to municipal infrastructure. Local governments have been working through the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for some time. FCM explains the problem this way:
Public infrastructure is the backbone of our economy and quality of life… Municipalities own
over 60% of the country's infrastructure but collect just eight cents of every tax dollar paid in
Canada, with the other 92 cents going to federal, provincial and territorial governments.
1 1131
On their own, municipalities don't have the revenue tools to rebuild infrastructure, especially
while they are expected to meet growing needs for policing, housing, the environment and
immigrant settlement, including many responsibilities downloaded from other governments.
The Small Communities Fund grant program (NBCF-SCF), part of the New Building Canada Plan,
opened for applications on October 22, 2014, and the deadline is February 18, 2015. The City of
Maple Ridge may submit one application. In selecting a project for application, the following criteria
have been taken into account:
• the grant program criteria and how strongly the project aligns with senior government
objectives, which contributes to the likelihood of a successful application. Typically these
programs are oversubscribed, meaning there are more applications than there is funding
available. In fact, the Province of BC website states “It is anticipated that there will be
significant demand for limited funds.”
• maximizing value to Maple Ridge taxpayers. A priority is placed on projects funded by general
taxes, over those that are funded by development. This also strengthens the application with
the Province, the deciding body for the Small Communities Fund.
• funding gaps. There are projects in the capital program that cannot proceed without
additional funding.
• the ongoing cost of the resulting asset. Costs to operate and maintain the asset should be
within the existing financial place, and consideration and/or funding given to its future
replacement. If a project will create a new financial burden for taxpayers, the impact to future
tax rates must be clearly communicated, and the financial plan amended accordingly.
The “Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project - Phase 4” is recommended, as it
strongly aligns with the program criteria and the above considerations.
The City has made significant investment in the downtown over recent years, and created a
downtown core that is a vibrant social gathering place for festivals and events. Even more
importantly, Maple Ridge’s population is expected to grow significantly in coming years, and in order
to accommodate this growth in a sustainable manner, planned densification has been occurring and
is ongoing.
The City has been laying the groundwork to support this population growth for a number of years,
more recently with the completion of an expanded transit hub, a Town Centre Area Plan, a park,
streetscapes and underground infrastructure. We are preparing now for residential density and jobs.
The fibre optic network will support high value jobs in the commercial sector and will allow for high
tech business and the development of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The civil
infrastructure works will replace aging infrastructure, while expanding capacity to support future
density in both residential and commercial sectors. The densification of the downtown continues to
attract new businesses such as Thrifty’s, Chances Gaming Centre, and Club 16, new restaurants, as
well as retaining financial and other institutions in a sustainable, compact, pedestrian-friendly
manner.
Phase 4 is the final phase of the Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project. The City has
a significant investment in valuable infrastructure, and it needs to be renewed, both to serve existing
2
and future population, and also to prevent much higher costs later in remedial work if the renewal
work isn’t done in a timely manner. Phase 1 involved Memorial Peace Park and the portion of 224
Street in front of the park; Phase 2 involved Lougheed Highway from 222 Street to 224 Street, plus
224 Street from Lougheed Highway north to 119 Avenue and from McIntosh Avenue to Dewdney
Trunk Road; and, Phase 3 involved Lougheed Highway from 226 Street to 228 Street. Phase 4 will
allow the continued rehabilitation and capacity enhancement work on Lougheed Highway from 224
Street to 226 Street, filling the gap in Lougheed Highway improvements to complete the 222 Street
to 228 Street segment.
The previous senior government infrastructure grant program supported earlier phases of this
project with about $3.7 million in funding. Phase 4 is estimated to cost $3.5 million. The current
annual capital program doesn’t have the capacity to fund these works, and as a result, the Financial
Plan includes a draw upon the City’s limited accumulated surplus. If the grant application is
successful, the program will potentially provide $2.3 million toward this project, and very little
accumulated surplus will be required. This will free up funding capacity that may assist in dealing
with other Council priorities.
Appendix 1 provides a diagram intended to provide additional context to the Small Communities
Fund within the overall New Building Canada Plan. Appendix 2 and 3 provide excerpts from the Small
Communities Fund Program Guide. The full guide can be found by searching for “Small Communities
Fund Program Guide” at: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/
a) Desired Outcome:
To build, rehabilitate, and replace required community infrastructure at a reduced cost to the
community. Phase 4 is the final component to the Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation
Project, and would provide connectivity with the second and third phases of the project, and
provide for the ongoing densification of the downtown core.
b) Strategic Alignment:
Revitalization of the downtown core into a vibrant space has been an ongoing focus of the City
through the first three phases of the Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project. This
final phase allows for the completion of this project. The City qualifies to submit one application
to the NBCF-SCF. In selecting a project, criteria mentioned earlier in the report were taken into
account to ensure an alignment with existing goals and objectives, and seeks to maximize value
to Maple Ridge citizens.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
If the grant application is successful, the City can substantially reduce the need to use
accumulated surplus to fund this project. Those savings can be used to advance other priorities.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
The grant application process can be onerous and will require staff resources from the
proponent departments in order to fulfill the February 18, 2015 deadline.
3
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The Downtown Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation Project-Phase 4, totals $3.5 million. The
City’s one-third share is $1,166,667 million, of which $200,000 is expected to come from
TransLink; $600,000 is identified in the Financial Plan as coming from the Sewer Capital Fund
with the remainder coming from the General Revenue Fund accumulated surplus. A potential
grant of $2.3 million would offset the General Revenue component.
f) Alternatives:
If Council chooses not to adopt the resolutions, the application cannot proceed. If Council wishes
to support a different project, serious consideration must be given not only to program criteria
but also to the February 18, 2015 deadline, and to whether all of the supporting documents,
business case, drawings/maps and funding could be pulled together in time.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Province of British Columbia, in partnership with the Federal Government, launched the New
Building Canada Fund – Small Communities Fund (NBCF-SCF) Program with the first intake for this
funding now open to receive applications. This report recommends that Phase 4 of the Downtown
Core Road and Utility Rehabilitation be submitted for funding assistance.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 02, 2015
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C.O.W
SUBJECT: 2015 Property Assessment Review
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Property assessment information for 2015 was received from BC Assessment on January 02, 2015.
This information is preliminary as property owners have the opportunity to appeal their assessments
until February 02, 2015 and appeals will be heard until March 13, 2015. The purpose of this report
is to give Council a sense of the 2015 assessments based on the information currently available.
RECOMMENDATION:
No resolution required; receive for information only.
DISCUSSION:
2015 Property Assessments
For the purpose of valuation, BC Assessment bases 2015 property assessments on market
conditions as at July 1, 2014.
The changes in the assessment roll are generally comprised of two components:
1.Market value fluctuations
2.Real growth due to new construction
For taxation purposes, properties in Maple Ridge are classified into seven classifications which are
Residential, Utilities, Major Industry, Light Industry, Business and Other, Recreational/Non-Profit, and
Farm Land. Where the term Commercial is used in this report it refers to a combination of Light
Industry, Business and Other. The majority (91.09%) of Maple Ridge’s taxable assessed value is in
the Residential Class.
For 2014, market values in the Residential and Commercial Classes decreased by an average of
about 1%. In 2015, the average Residential Class market increase is about 2% and the average
Commercial Classes increase is around 6%.
Decisions concerning the municipal budget are made independent of market value fluctuations. As
in past years, municipal tax rates will be:
i)adjusted to offset average market value increases/decreases in each class
ii)increased based on the tax increase included in the approved financial plan
1132
As a result, properties that experience market value changes above the average for their class will
experience higher than average tax increases and properties that experience value changes below
the average will experience lower than average tax increases. It is therefore important for property
owners to keep in mind that their own tax experience will vary based on the assessment change for
their property in relation to the overall averages for their property class. Local governments do not
have the legislative authority to smooth tax increases among properties.
To demonstrate this variability from property to property, we have been tracking the taxes assessed
against a sample of properties for a number of years and the data from that analysis is attached in
Appendix “A”. The data is illustrative in nature as we do not yet know what the tax rates will be from
the other agencies. In this example, we have assumed a 1% increase for School taxes and a 3%
increase for all other agencies.
While the impact to the average home amounts to an overall municipal tax increase of around 3%,
there is significant variation around this average. The sample property in the Whonnock area
(Sample 3) will see a municipal tax decrease of around 1.8% whereas the sample property in Upper
Hammond (Sample 8), which saw an increase in assessed value of 15% in 2015, will experience a
municipal tax increase closer to 16%. This variation in tax impact is the direct result of the
assessment changes experienced by each individual property.
This is why it is important that property owners review their assessment notices closely and refer any
questions or concerns to BC Assessment. Property owners who believe their assessments to be
incorrect have until February 02 to appeal to BC Assessment for a review. Property taxes are based
on final assessed values and cannot be appealed.
The second major component of the change in the assessment roll is due to new construction.
Overall new construction is approximately 1.3% which, once adjusted for our incentive program,
comes in at the anticipated budgeted amount of 1%. As the information is preliminary, we will
monitor this area to see if further modifications are required to the financial plan.
NEIGHBOURHOOD ANALYSIS
The following is a brief look at the effects of growth on the assessments of various neighbourhoods
throughout the City to give Council a sense of how these changes impact individual areas.
Residential Properties:
Of the total assessment base in Maple Ridge, approximately 91% is attributable to the residential
class. While the total growth factor in the Residential Class is 1.3%, specific neighbourhoods
continue to contribute to the bulk of that increase.

Laity – 207(Rvr-DTR) $ 11,733,400 8%
Strata Units $ 36,707,136 25%
All other neighbourhoods $ 7,212,800 4%
Though the average market value in the Residential Class increased by about 2% the change, in
assessed value for specific areas, varies.

The following information provides a sense of the impact of assessment changes experienced in
specific neighbourhoods.
Haney Residential
Boundaries: S – Lougheed; W – Burnett and 224; N – 124A, 125, 128; E – 234 and 235
This area is comprised of mostly single family homes which are 30 years or older. New construction
in this area is limited. The neighbourhood represents 10% of the City’s overall residential inventory.
The average home in this area, valued at $435,262 in 2014 and paying $1,942 in municipal taxes,
has seen an increase in value of about 6.5%, which is substantially higher than the city average of
2%, and will experience a general purposes tax increase of around 7.5%.

Cottonwood/Albion
Boundaries: S - Kanaka Way and 128; W - Cottonwood Dr; N – DTR; E – 240
This area now makes up approximately 6% of the City’s overall residential inventory and was the
biggest growth contributor in 2014 at 25% of overall growth. It is comprised of mostly single family
homes.
Page 3 of 8
Cottonwood/Albion (continued)
The average home here, valued at $470,191 in 2014 and paying $2,098 in municipal taxes, has
increased in value by slightly more than 1% and the municipal tax increase will be around 2%.

Kanaka Creek
Boundaries: S, SW – Lougheed; N – Kanaka Way and 128; E – 248
This area, comprised mostly of single family homes, continues to develop and contributed 17% to the
overall residential growth. It represents approximately 8% of the City’s overall residential inventory.
The average home in this area, valued at $500,600 in 2014 and paying $2,234 in municipal taxes,
has decreased in value by just under 1% and as a result will experience a minimal general purpose
tax increase.

Silver Valley and Fern Cres.
Boundaries: S – 128; N – Silver Valley Rd; W – Marc Rd. & 224; E – 264
This area now makes up approximately 8% of the City’s overall residential inventory and, at 21% of
the overall growth, continues to be one of the biggest growth contributors. It is comprised of mostly
single family homes some of which are on large lots and acreages.
The average home here, valued at $752,645 in 2014 and paying $3,360 in municipal taxes, has
increased in value by slightly less than 1% and the municipal tax increase will be around 2%.

Whonnock and Ruskin
Boundaries: S – Lougheed; N – 132; W – 248; E – 287
This established rural neighbourhood is made up of large residential lots and acreages of which 2%
still enjoy farm status.
The average home in this area was valued at $576,700 in 2014 and paid $2,574 in municipal
taxes, is now assessed at $586,874, an increase of just over 1%. It will likely experience a general
purposes tax increase of approximately 2%.

Strata Townhouses
There are currently 3,843 properties in Maple Ridge which are classed as residential strata
townhouses and 120 of those are new this year. Market value for these types of properties
experienced an average decrease of 1.4%.
The average townhouse assessed in 2014 at $294,000 and paying $1,312 in municipal taxes now
has an average assessment of $290,000 and will experience a nominal tax increase.

Strata Apartments
The number of Strata Apartments grew by 50 in 2014 to a total of 3,026 as a result of the TCIIP. The
average market value for these types of units decreased by 2% in 2014.
The average apartment, which was assessed in 2014 at $197,000 and paid $879 in municipal
taxes, is now assessed at $193,000 and will likely see a slight decrease in municipal taxes.

Business Class and Light Industry Class
Of the almost 30,000 properties which make up Maple Ridge, 4% of properties fall into the
Business and Light Industry Classes. Combined growth in these two classes is around 1% after
adjusting for incentive program and they contribute approximately 7% of the total growth in the
assessment base.
The commercial sector growth contribution to the assessment base is approximately $14M.
The biggest contributors are two properties owned by South Coast BC Transportation, previously
exempt from taxation but now fully taxable on a value of $3.3M. The ongoing warehouse
development at 113 Avenue & Kingston Street, which contributed $1.5M last year, this year
contributed an additional $1.7M to the commercial assessment base. A property on 272 Street,
previously used for worship and exempt from taxes, has been converted to office space and is now
fully taxable adding $1.6M to the commercial assessment base. Enhancements to the office building
at 11965 Fraser Street provide an additional $2.6M. This last project qualified for our incentive
program.
The average market value increase in the Business and Light Industry Classes is just over 6%.

The following information is intended to give an idea of what is occurring in some of the more
concentrated areas for these classes.
Maple Meadows Industrial Park
This area represents 20% of Business Class properties. These are mostly commercial strata units
and some warehousing facilities. Of the 312 commercial properties in the park, 112 are classed
Light Industry. These 112 properties account for 56% of all Light Industry properties in Maple Ridge
and represent 50% of the Light Industry assessment base. Overall market change in the park is
close to the City average and tax increases for most properties here will therefore also be close to
the City average.

Albion Industrial
This area represents 4% of Business Class folios and 16% of Light Industry Class folios and accounts
for approximately 10% of the taxable commercial assessment base. A few properties in this area
saw significant market value increases, causing the average assessment increase for the area to
come in higher than the City average at 13%. Most properties (75%) experienced assessment value
changes of less than 10%.

Lougheed and Dewdney Trunk Commercial, West of 207 Street
These two commercial corridors represent only 5% of Business Class folios in number but account
for 23% of total Business Class assessments. There were significant market value increases in this
area as well with 31% of properties seeing increases higher than 20%. The average market increase
in this area is 9% which is above the City average and will result in a higher than average tax
increase.

Kanaka & Webster’s Corner Business Parks
These two business parks started development in 2010 and represent 8% of Commercial folios and
account for 4% of the combined Business and Light Industry assessment base. Overall market
change in these two areas is close to the City average and tax increases for most properties here will
therefore also be close to the City average.

CONCLUSIONS:
Though the assessment information is preliminary, it does give an indication of how assessments
have changed since the last valuation. While the average assessment changes for Residential and
Commercial Classes are 2% and 6% respectively, there is some variability around this average. As a
result, the property tax impact to individual properties will vary, depending on how their experience
relates to the average for their property class.
Property owners with concerns have until February 02 to contact BC Assessment about those
concerns and appeals are being held until March 13. A revised roll incorporating any changes due to
appeals or corrections will be made available to us in early April.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 10, 2015
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Mayor’s Open Government Task Force
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 5, 2015 the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force was established to develop
recommendations that will increase citizen engagement in civic matters. Mayor Read, Councillor Bell
and Councillor Shymkiw were appointed as the Council Liaisons to this task force. This report
provides the first update from this task force and includes a recommendation on the terms of
reference for Council’s consideration. It also includes two recommendations on immediate actions
that can be taken now to further the task force mandate.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.That the Terms of Reference for the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force attached to this
report be approved.
2.That staff be directed to livestream Council Workshop and Committee of the Whole Meetings as
a priority.
3.That staff be directed to make information on all current contracts the City has entered into
accessible to the public at the earliest opportunity, noting that this information will include the
name of the contracting firm, the value of the contract, and a description of the service.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
A report to Council on January 5, 2015 defined Council’s direction to the Mayor’s Open
Government Task Force (MOGTF) as being to develop recommendations that will strengthen
accountability and transparency at City Hall and increase citizen’s understanding of and
contribution to decision-making. The first order of business for the task force is to bring a
recommendation on its Terms of Reference (TOR) back to Council, and this document is
attached.
The task force’s work will include a highly consultative process through input from three
working groups: public representatives, city departments, and technical experts.
Recommendations that respond to the mandate and purpose outlined in the TOR will be
brought forward to Council within five months.
Task force recommendations will include short-term, medium-term and longer-term goals. In
that spirit, the task force has identified two immediate opportunities for Council to consider.
1 1201
• The first recommendation directs staff to livestream Council Workshop and
Committee of the Whole Meetings at the earliest opportunity. Regular Council
Meetings were not included as they are already being livestreamed. The intention is
to ensure that members of the public have the opportunity to view all forums that
Council use for discussion and decision making from the comfort of their home or
another on-line venue. The public is also welcome to attend all Council meeting
forums in person.
• The second recommendation will make basic information on contracts that the City
has entered into available and accessible to the public. This will include information
on the firm that the contract was established with, the value, and a description of the
service. The intention for this recommendation is to ensure easy access to basic
information on the scope of services provided through contract relationships and
does not limit further information from being provided.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to strengthen accountability and transparency at City Hall and to
increase citizen’s understanding, access and contribution to decision-making
c) Strategic Alignment:
This recommendation aligns with Council’s Strategic Direction on Governance to function as
an open government with the greatest possible access by citizens to information and
opportunity for engagement in decision-making processes.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The task force’s work will result in increased opportunities for citizens to participate in civic
matters through enhanced transparency, accountability and accessibility to information
which will enable citizens to become more active, empowered and engaged participants.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The task force will require input from a number of departments and the resulting priorities as
determined by Council will direct department work plans.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There is likely a need for modest funding to accommodate education and engagement
activities. The task force will bring a request back to Council once these funding needs are
defined.
CONCLUSIONS:
The attached Terms of Reference provide a foundation for the Mayor’s Task Force on Open
Government to move forward in their work to provide recommendations to Council that will ensure
the greatest possible access by citizens to information and engagement in decision-making
processes.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 10, 2015
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 5, 2015 the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force was established to conduct an
assessment of social service delivery funding models and to develop recommendations that will
enhance community health for Council’s consideration. Mayor Read, Councillor Masse and
Councillor Robson were appointed as the Council Liaisons to this task force. This report provides the
first update from this task force and includes a recommendation on the terms of reference for
Council’s consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Terms of Reference for the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force attached to this
report be approved.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
In a report to Council on January 5, 2015 the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force
was directed to conduct an assessment of social service delivery funding models and to
develop recommendations that will enhance community health.
The first order of business given to the task force was to prepare a Terms of Reference (TOR)
for Council’s consideration, and a recommended TOR is attached to this report.
The mandate of the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task Force, as recommended, is to:
1.Increase access to treatment for people dealing with drug addiction.
2.Increase adequate support for people with significant mental illness.
3.Increase a sense of health and safety in the community.
To support this work, the task force recommends establishing five working tables that will
focus on:
1.Increasing timely access to services that respond to the individual needs of our
unsheltered population.
2.Ensuring a pro-active community approach to youth education on the prevention of drug
use.
3.Identifying immediate interim shelter solutions for people in the community that are
currently unsheltered while longer-term solutions such as those identified in the Housing
Action Plan are being pursued.
4.Ensuring a consistent and effective approach to enforcement of community standards
and safety.

5. Ensuring alignment with community standards by agencies that provide a regional
service to people with significant mental illness and/or drug addiction in the community.
Once the TOR are adopted, the task force can proceed with establishing the five worki ng
tables described above. A priority focus for the task force is to support community solutions
toward speedy access to treatment, support and shelter for the current population of people
in Maple Ridge who are unsheltered.
Task force recommendations will be brought back to Council for their consideration.
b) Desired Outcome:
To be leaders that other communities can look to regarding our approach to getting people in
our community with significant drug addiction and mental illness into treatment so that
situations of homelessness and property crime are reduced and citizens’ sense of safety is
protected.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This resolution aligns with the Safe and Livable Communities Strategic Direction by pro-
actively addressing the impacts of social issues on the local community and citizens through
social planning and collaboration with other levels of government and local service providers.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The task force’s work will benefit individuals in at-ri sk situations as well as the overall health
of the community. According to the 2014 homeless count conducted by Alouette Home
Start, eighty-four people in Maple Ridge are currently homeless. Of those eighty-four,
approximately thirty are unsheltered on an ongoing basis. Although a greater percentage of
our citizens faced with homelessness are being supported into housing each year, we
continue to have a chronically homeless population on our streets that are faced with multi -
barriers to being permanently housed.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The task force will require input from a number of departments and the resulting priorities as
determined by Council will direct department work plans.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There is likely a need for modest funding to accommodate education and engagement
activities. The task force will bring a request back to Council once these funding needs are
defined.
CONCLUSIONS:
The attached Terms of Reference provide a foundation for the Mayor’s Homelessness Solutions Task
Force to move forward in their work to provide recommendations to Council to ensure the health and
safety of our citizens and our community.
