1500 QUESTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC
Wendy Avantich
Ms. Avantich asked why the proposed shelter is being allowed to go
through without an impact study or public consultation and whether Council
will stand up for the community against this location.
Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2018
Page 3 of 18
Mayor Read advised that the City is gathering information on the proposal
and recommended that residents contact either of the MLA’s with
concerns. She also advised that an impact study will have to be one by the
Province and that Council has encouraged early public consultation.
Ms. Avantich asked for confirmation that the City is responsible for rezoning
and reiterated her question on whether Council will allow the proposal to go
ahead without an impact study and public consultation.
Mayor Read advised on the rezoning process.
Mary McLennan
Ms. McLennan read from speaker’s notes. She compared the 3030
Gordon Avenue Shelter in Coquitlam and the proposed location on Burnett
Street and expressed that the Burnett Street location is not appropriate.
She asked whether the City is willing to support the Burnett Street location.
Mayor Read advised that she could not speak on the issue of whether this
proposal is supported by Council. She also advised on the search for
property by the Province.
Eric Boland Zaharia
Mr. Zaharia asked for confirmation that the rezoning process is carried out
by the City and if the City has the final say.
Mayor Read advised that although the Provincial Government can veto
municipal government, rezoning has been part of the Province’s normal
process in the past.
Mr. Zaharia expressed concern with the Provincial Government taking
whatever land they wish without citizen input and asked whether this is a
violation of the freedom of property owners.
Mayor Read advised that the Province generally brings applications through
a zoning process and expects this to come before Council.
Mr. Zaharia asked why citizens of Maple Ridge have not been consulted to
help find an appropriate spot. He expressed concern that residents have
not been consulted and that MLAs have not been responsive.
Jody (did not provide last name for privacy reasons)
Jody advised on her background as a resident of the area. She asked
whether Council is aware of an Action Maple Ridge group and indicated
that the previous Provincial government had accepted clauses within a
petition for the past two locations. She felt the current government is not
letting the public vote on suitable locations in the area. She asked whether
Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2018
Page 4 of 18
Council will collaborate with the Maple Ridge Citizens’ Advisory group as to
where the homeless and addicted can be housed and whether citizens will
be consulted and given a vote.
Mayor Read addressed the questions on a citizens’ committee and
recommended this be referred to the MLAs. She encouraged follow up with
the Province.
Jody advised that MLAs have not returned phone calls and requested
assistance from the City in connecting with MLAs.
Mayor Read advised that MLAs have been asked to be present at the
information session.
Richard Kitchener
Mr. Kitchener asked if there is a representative from the Province at the
meeting and if they are mandated to be at this meeting.
Mayor Read advised there is no representative present however she stated
that the current meeting is being recorded and that the video is available
on the City’s website for review.
Mr. Kitchener asked how often a local government decision is ‘trumped’ by
the Province.
Mayor Read stated that historically there is no precedent to suggest that
the Province will override a decision made by a municipal Council.
Mr. Kitchener stated that decisions being made are continually degrading
and that this current decision is about how people live and how it can
negatively affect a community. He asked Council members on their
feelings should such a shelter be proposed for a property beside their
home.
Mayor Read addressed the issues and concerns put forward by Mr.
Kitchener.
R/2018-019
It was moved and seconded
That the “Questions from the Public” session be extended for 15 minutes.

Kyle Lukacs
Mr. Lukacs spoke to growing up in Maple Ridge and asked what has
happened in the last 15 years to bring Maple Ridge from one homeless
person to over 700. With respect to funding for the cost to take care of
homeless people, he asked where the line will be drawn on the amount of
housing projects to be built in Maple Ridge and the number of people we
bring into our city.
Mayor Read addressed the question pertaining to the number of homeless
in Maple Ridge. She spoke on the crisis of persons living on the streets and
in camps in Metro Vancouver and on the downloading of jurisdiction onto
local government by both provincial and federal governments.
Mr. Lukacs asked whether the various levels of government are working
together to solve this crisis.
Mayor Read advised on how local government works with other levels of
government.
Craig Forgie
Mr. Forgie asked for a tentative date for a public hearing. He requested
that if a date has not been confirmed whether the City could put all
information from the Province on this particular issue on its website.
Mayor Read confirmed that all information received will be placed on the
City’s website.
Mr. Forgie expressed concern that local MLAs are not responding to
citizens’ inquiries.
Mayor Read advised that she will connect with the MLAs to let them know
of the public’s frustration.
The General Manager of Parks, Culture & Recreation outlined a plan on
future communication around the issue of the proposed shelter.
James Penner
Mr. Penner asked if it is Council or the City’s focus to build a homeless
shelter.
Mayor Read outlined the history of the temporary shelters established in
Maple Ridge.
Mr. Penner asked whether the temporary shelter across from the Haney
Hotel was successful.
Council Meeting Minutes
January 16, 2018
Page 6 of 18
Mayor Read addressed Mr. Penner’s question on the success of the
temporary shelter.
Mr. Penner asked whether the increase in homeless persons and drug use
around the Salvation Army and the temporary shelter was noticed.
Mayor Read stated that Council is aware of neighbourhood impact.
Mr. Penner expressed concern with the decline in the downtown core and
provided examples of negative behaviour carried out in Maple Ridge Park
occurring outside the doors of the RCMP office. He also expressed concern
with policing. Mr. Penner reiterated his concern with the decline in the
downtown core and that the proposed shelter will only move the problems
over a few blocks.
Mayor Read reiterated that the location of the proposed shelter is a
Provincial undertaking.
Ryan (did not provide last name for privacy reasons)
Ryan asked whether Council feels that a statement saying that per capita
Maple Ridge currently houses in low barrier shelter and low barrier
supportive housing more than any other community in the Lower Mainland
is true or false. He expressed concern with the number of shelters in
Maple Ridge and felt that the City is saturated compared to other
communities.
Mayor Read spoke to housing beds and supportive housing in other
communities.
Ryan asked whether anyone on Council had been aware that BC Housing
was looking at the Burnett Street lot. He also asked why persons using
drugs in the street are not arrested under the Mental Health Act.
Mayor Read advised that the RCMP would best advise on policing issues.
Bobbi Stott
Ms. Stott feels that addiction and homelessness often intermingle. She
expressed concern with rumours about possible addictions and methadone
clinics and safe injection sites being placed in Maple Ridge. She asked if
such sites are being considered if they would go through a similar process
as the proposed shelter and whether the Province can override local
government.
Mayor Read responded to Ms. Stott’s concerns. She felt that with an issue
as contentious as safe injection sites, the Province will consult with local
government.

Wesley Mann
Mr. Mann asked Mayor Read whether she publically supported the
Provincial Government’s decision to purchase this property.
Mayor Read expressed that she does not currently have enough
information on the selection and purchase of the site by the Province to put
forward a position.
Mr. Mann asked if local government will advocate for the citizens of Maple
Ridge on the subject, whether a special committee will be formed, if a
lawyer will be involved in the process and whether the public will be given
space to come and speak to the issue.
Mayor Read advised on process pertaining to rezoning applications. She
also advised on formations of committees and public information meetings.

SUBJECT: Innovation in Emerging Cities Forum
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Innovation is a key driver for economic success. We have seen that business models that do not
recognize technological trends or support innovations soon fail to attract market interest. The
Technology Task Force of the Economic Development Committee (EDC) is creating a forum to bring
together business, education and government to promote dialogue and interest on the subject of
Innovation. The EDC has included in their 2018 Business Plan an event titled, “Innovation in
Emerging Cities,” to be held in the ACT on April 4,, 2018. The Economic Development Department is
supporting the creation of this event with resources to organize and deliver it.
The target audiences for the forum are: local businesses leaders and owners, entrepreneurs,
technology workers and post-secondary students. The forum will be marketed in Maple Ridge and
surrounding communities.
The goals of the Innovation in Emerging Cities forum will be to:
Impart information on innovation and technology for the benefit of business in Maple Ridge;
Highlight some of Maple Ridge’s innovative local business and the growing local tech sector;
Encourage and support innovation by connecting businesses with a support network of
innovative businesses, post-secondary institutions, business support agencies, funding
organizations and government agencies;
Encourage relationships and collaboration to develop through networking;
Support and collaborate with Federal and Provincial government goals relating to industry
science and technology;
Support Economic Development, Business Retention and Expansion efforts relating to the
tech and post-secondary education sectors.
In organizing the forum the Tech Task Force and Economic Development will be seeking to include
participation from the federal and provincial government, other municipal government, post-
secondary education, School District 42 and as well as sponsorship from government agencies and
business. The Chamber of Commerce and the BIA will also be invited to participate.

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context
As the Canadian economy continues its transformation from resource-based to knowledge-
based, cities have become increasingly important centres for job and wealth creation. As the
cost of land continues to rise in the urban core making it increasingly difficult for knowledge
and service workers to afford housing, the role of emerging cities is coming to light. Maple
Ridge, is well positioned to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. With proximity to nature
and a variety of lifestyle choices, Maple Ridge can bring together the technology, talent and
creativity to drive the new economy. Our Innovation in Emerging Cities forum, will be of
interest to our business community and neighbouring businesses wishing to engage in the
topic of innovation.
This forum supports the goals and objectives of the Government of Canada’s “Innovation and
Skills Plan,” by highlighting the critical role that post-secondary education, skills training and
businesses and organizations play in advancing innovation in our community. It supports the
Province of British Columbia’s goals of supporting technology industry.
The Innovation in Emerging Cities forum will bring together three key ideas which will
promote transfer of knowledge, the forum itself and associated trade show / resource fair,
and potentially a Hackathon event.
Innovation in Emerging Cities forum
The forum will occur on April 4 at the ACT theatre, where we are targeting for 180 to
200 participants. The forum will be moderated by Vickie McLeod, a well-known
commentator on the subject of social media. It will include keynote presentations by:
Steve Dotto of Dottotech, on developments in technology and the need for individuals
to participate or get left behind and; Dr. Salvador Ferreras, VP Academic and Provost
of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, who will speak on the subject of preparing
workers for the new economy. The speakers will also participate in panel discussions
on themes supporting innovation. The forum will include several other presentations
which will highlight innovation in our community, be they in the fields of business,
education, culture, government or not-for-profit. Our program is still under develop-
ment with input coming from members of the Tech Task Force, our sponsors, the
MP’s office, SD42, and local business.
To date, confirmed sponsors include the Maple Ridge News and Black Press, who will
provide story and advertising space, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and the Pitt
Meadows Regional Airport. Other sponsors are anticipated.
Trade Show / Resource Fair
The Genstar Room adjacent to the theatre and the foyer at the ACT will be used to
showcase sponsors, and allow a modest area for about 12 some trade show booths.
Our desire will be to fill these booths with agencies that support
innovation/entrepreneurship to provide additional access to resources for our
participants. Some businesses may wish to demonstrate innovative products and
services and these will be accommodated space permitting.
3
Hackathon
We are planning for a Hackathon contest that will give post-secondary student
participants access to data through the new Maple Ridge Open Government portal, to
create new apps for businesses and residents. To date, both BCIT and Kwantlen
Polytechnic University have indicated an interest in having students participate. Esri,
the City’s supplier of GIS mapping, has indicated an interest in sponsoring and
organizing this event. Their support is essential given that technical resources will be
necessary to assist the students in their efforts to develop apps. As motivation for
student participation, prizes will be awarded to participants and the best apps may
be highlighted at the Innovation in Emerging Cities forum. This is dependent on Esri’s
time and ability to organize the Hackathon. Should they not be able to meet our
time-line then a separate event can be organized to recognize the students for their
efforts.
We continue to work on finalizing the agenda for the day and securing sponsors. By early
February the agenda and sponsorships will be substantially in place permitting us to launch
our marketing. A kick-off event is being planned for early February. At that time, all of our
marketing materials will be in place, and will include: on-line, print, social media, and
programmatic content.
b) Financial Considerations
The full cost of the event is anticipated to be $30,000, of which the EDC budget will provide
$15,000. The balance will be funded through sponsorships and the sale of trade show
booths. This first Innovation in Emerging Cities forum will be free of charge to participants.
CONCLUSION
The EDC will host the Innovation in Emerging Cities forum on April 4th at the ACT Theatre. This event
will bring together members of the business community, education, government, business and
others who are interested on the subject of Innovation. This first forum in 2018, is envisioned as the
start of an annual event which will create dialogue on emerging and important business and
economic opportunities for the City of Maple Ridge.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Computer Refresh
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Maple Ridge has standardized on the hardware and software solutions for its desktop
computing equipment for approximately 15 years. This approach has allowed the City to provide
robust and reliable systems to City staff for their desktop computing needs while minimizing the
administrative burden on IT staff in managing these devices. Along with standardization, the City set
a minimum life cycle of three years for the desktop hardware to ensure adequate performance of
this equipment. Although a minimum lifecycle was put in place, staff evaluate this equipment on an
ongoing basis to look for opportunities to extend that lifecycle whenever possible. Historically, all
desktop computing equipment has been replaced at the same time with the last computer refresh
being in 2010. With the investment in Citrix and thin clients during the 2010 refresh, a portion of
our desktop computing fleet became less reliant on hardware standardization and as such
eliminated the need to replace these units in a single batch, allowing the City to take on a model of
replacing as required. This, along with minimal upgrades to other devices within the desktop
computing fleet, has allowed the City to extend the life of the lion’s share of these devices for over
seven years.
Currently, portions of the existing fleet are experiencing high failure rates and, after 7.5 years, are at
the end of their useful life. As a result, the City went out to RFP late in 2017. The results of this RFP
are to award contracts to two separate vendors for the replacement of these devices. Although the
contracts associated with the purchase of new desktop computing equipment are within established
staff procurement limits, we want to ensure Council is aware of the impending replacement that will
be carried out over the next three years.

The results of this RFP are to award contracts to two separate vendors for the replacement of
these devices. Although the contracts associated with the purchase of new desktop
computing equipment are within established staff procurement limits, we want to ensure
Council is aware of the impending replacement that will be carried out over the next three
years.
Late in 2017, we went to RFP to replace a portion of the existing desktop computing fleet
and to determine the best hardware solutions going forward. The hardware under review
included laptops, tablets, desktops, thin clients and monitors. The RFP process allowed staff
to critically analyze and test a wide range of hardware options from a variety of vendors in an
effort to find the systems that best suited the corporate requirements. The results of this
RFP determined that the best overall value for the City was to select two separate vendors to
fulfill the procurement. Microserve was selected to supply the monitors and rugged mobile
devices and Opus Consulting Group Ltd. was selected to supply the Dell desktop computers
and thin clients.
b) Desired Outcome:
To provide Council with the information that, over the next three years, staff will be replacing
the corporation’s desktop computing equipment.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The benefit to our customers is in sustaining as well as improving productivity by replacing
desktop computing systems that are experiencing high failure rates and that meet the
current computing needs of staff.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Prior to implementation, IT staff will work with departmental units to ensure the new systems
are configured to meet current business needs and will be deployed in a manner that
minimizes disruption in their areas.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The funds for the desktop computing equipment replacement are available through the
Information Technology Equipment Replace Fund. By leveraging Citrix, and implementing
minimal upgrades to existing systems over the past 4.5 years, we have been able reduce the
costs of equipment replacement without interfering in current operations.
3
CONCLUSIONS:
The existing desktop computing equipment has served City staff well for over seven years. Due to
higher failure rates and changes in computing needs, it is now time to replace a large portion of this
fleet. Through the RFP process, staff selected the hardware solutions that best meet the
organization’s requirements and provides overall best overall value to the City. As the contracts
associated with the replacement of the existing desktop computing equipment is within staff’s
established procurement limits, this report is provided to Council as information only so as to make
Council aware of the planned replacement that is to be carried out over the next three years.

SUBJECT: Final Reading:
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016
20434 Chigwell Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bylaw No. 7273-2016 has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and subsequently was

the rezoning is to permit subdivision into 2 lots not less than 371 m2. Existing one family residential

Council granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016 on September 6, 2016.
Council granted second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016 on June 27, 2017. This
application was presented at Public Hearing on July 18, 2017, and Council granted third reading on
July 25, 2017.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016 be adopted.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on July 18, 2017. On July 25,
2017 Council granted Third Reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016 with the stipulation
that the following conditions be addressed:
i)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the floodplain report, which addresses the
suitability of the subject property for the proposed development;
ii)Demonstration of B.C Building Code and Fire Safety compliance of existing structures, or
demolition;
iii)Demolition or relocation of encroaching structures.
The following applies to the above:
1.Floodplain report. As no new construction is proposed with this application, and the existing
dwelling units will remain, the most appropriate means is to protect the municipality from
liability through a “save harmless” covenant that will be registered as a condition of the
required subdivision.
2.Compliance with BC Building Code and Fire Safety Standards. Inspection services provided
by the City of Maple Ridge confirm that compliance with these requirements has been met.

- 2 -
3. Demolition or relocation of encroaching structures. Inspection services provided by the City
of Maple Ridge confirm that there are no longer encroaching structures on the site.
b) Additional Information:
A concurrent development variance permit (2016-223-DVP) is addressing matters related to
servicing and setback requirements.
A preliminary review letter in support of the subdivision application for the subject property
has been provided to the applicant outlining the conditions of subdivision.
CONCLUSION:
As the applicant has met Council’s conditions, it is recommended that Final Reading be given to
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
25237 112th Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The 2.0 hectare (5 acre) subject property is 32 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve, amounting to
a 0.65 hectares (1.6 acre) portion that is within the ALR. In 2011, the Agricultural Land Commission
(ALC) identified the subject property as a remnant parcel suitable for exclusion from the Agricultural
Land Reserve (ALR). Consistent with Commission direction, the property owner has made this
application to remove the property from the ALR.
The application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act.
The applicant’s submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the ALC. As this
application is consistent with the ALC’s direction, it could be considered supportable. If excluded,
the property will retain its agricultural designation in both the Official Community Plan (OCP) and
Regional Growth Strategy (RGS). For this reason, the property could not be rezoned and subdivided
without amending the municipal and regional plans. On this basis, the property will continue to have
limited development potential if excluded from the ALR.
RECOMMENDATION:
As per Council direction for all ALR exclusion applications, the following resolutions are provided
for Council’s consideration:
a)That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b)That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with
a summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

b) Project Description:
The subject property is zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and its northern portion (32%) is
designated Agriculture, while its southern portion (68%) is designated Suburban Residential.
Appendix A shows the affected ALR portion on the north edge of the subject property. This exclusion
application does not indicate an explicit development proposal. The subject property has road
frontage on 3 sides at the intersections of Bosonworth Avenue and 112th Avenue with 252nd Street.
The irregularly shaped subject property is traversed by a watercourse extending on a diagonal from
the middle of the west property line to the southeast corner, limiting developable area at the south
end of the property to its west corner. The purpose of this application is to respond to the direction
of the Agricultural Land Commission and remove the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The property has subdivision potential under its current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zoning.
A separate subdivision application, independent of this exclusion application, is proceeding
concurrently for a portion of the subject property that is not within the ALR. This subdivision does
not require ALC approval because it involves the portion of this property that is not within the
Agricultural Land Reserve.

c) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council
outlining legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for
exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options
for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with
comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
The process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council resolved
that the process for referring applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include
the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
The above resolution forms the recommendations presented in this staff report. The City of Maple
Ridge recognizes the jurisdiction of the ALC for the ALR properties within City boundaries. Towards
this end, Policy 6-5 of the OCP states the following:
Maple Ridge will collaborate with other agencies, such as the Agricultural Land
Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District
to promote and foster agriculture.
In this instance, the Agricultural Land Commission indicated support for its removal from the ALR
under Commission Resolution. On this basis, this application is supportable.

Remnant Properties – Commission Resolution
In 2011, the Agricultural Land Commission identified certain properties within the City as
appropriate for exclusion under ALC Resolution 2635/2011, made on October 27, 2011. This
resolution invited the City to submit a local government application for exclusion for remnant areas
“identified by the Commission as being unsuitable for agriculture”. The identification of these
properties for exclusion stems from the Commission’s interest in maintaining an Agricultural Land
Reserve that accurately reflects agricultural capability and suitability of properties contained within
it.
The subject property was included in the list of the remnant properties as suitable for exclusion from
the ALR. Affected property owners were notified by the City of their potential for exclusion in
correspondence dated September 9, 2013. At the time, the Commission anticipated but did not
require that the exclusion of these properties would proceed through a local government exclusion
application. As an alternative, individual property owners have the right to pursue exclusion
applications on their own.
Development Implications
Under its current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential zoning, the 2.0 hectare (5 acre) subject property
could be subdivided into 2 parcels (minimum parcel size under current zoning is 0.8 hectares or 2
acres). The exclusion of the affected portion of this property from the Agricultural Land Reserve will
not change this potential. No rezoning of the subject property could take place without an OCP
amendment, Regional Growth Strategy Amendment, and a subdivision application.
Further development would need to be based on the site context and community need in order to be
supportable. By forwarding this application to the ALC, Council is under no obligation to approve any
future applications for further development of the subject properties.
d) Citizen Implications:
No comments have been received at the time of writing this report. If this application is forwarded
to and approved by the ALC, the subject property would retain its agricultural designation and would
be limited to the provisions of the existing RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone for subdivision
requirements and land uses. Any rezoning application would be required to provide opportunities for
public input.
Alternatives:
This application to exclude the subject property is consistent with ALC direction and is therefore
supportable. However, Council has the option of denying this application from proceeding to the
ALC.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
This application for exclusion from the ALR is unique as it has been identified by the ALC as
appropriate for exclusion from the ALR. The surrounding context of the subject properties site is
Agricultural and Suburban Residential. The application is supportable, based on ALC direction to
remove identified remnant properties from the ALR.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7404-2017
11384 207 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 11384 207 Street, from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) to permit the
construction of a fourplex residential building with approximately 885 m2 (9,526 sf) of floor area. It
includes eight parking spaces, 50% of which are configured in a tandem arrangement, while the
other 50% are placed in double-wide garages.
Amendments to the Official Community Plan (Amending Bylaw No. 7349-2017), Zoning Bylaw
(Amending Bylaw No. 7312-2017 for the RT-2 Zone), and Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw
(Amending Bylaw No. 7350-2017) were given first reading at the June 13, 2017 Council meeting.
These bylaws, when approved, will allow new ground-oriented infill housing such as courtyard,
fourplex and triplex forms in accordance with the action items of the Housing Action Plan
Implementation Framework that were prioritized by Council in September 2015. The current
application applies the draft provisions of the new proposed RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill)
zone and Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw for fourplexes.
This application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31, which
was updated on December 12, 2017 to include fourplexes. As per this policy, three of the four units
are subject to a CAC of $4,100 per unit for a total contribution of $12,300.
To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7404-2017 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules (C, D and E) of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999.

Site Area: 935 m2 (0.23 acres)
Access: 114 Avenue and lane
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property, located at 11384 207 Street, is a rectangular shaped lot that is 935 m2 (0.23
acres) in size. It is located at the corner of 207 Street, an arterial road, and 114 Avenue, a local
road, at the eastern edge of the Upper Hammond Precinct. The subject property and surrounding lots
are generally characterized by one storey and basement single-family dwellings. There is a lane
south of the subject property. The subject property is relatively flat with a few trees around the
perimeter.
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill), a newly created zone, to permit the
development of a fourplex. The fourplex has a rectangular building footprint with one unit on each
corner of the building. The four units together provide approximately 885 m2 (9,526 sf) of floor area
over three storeys. Each unit is provided with two concealed parking spaces. The two units facing
114 Avenue have tandem parking spaces, while the two units facing the lane are provided with
double-wide spaces (see Appendix D).
The new RT-2 zone provides for the infill of ground-oriented residential buildings within established
residential neighbourhoods in a form that will be incremental and sensitive to the existing and
emerging context. This new zone allows for dwelling units to be in one building with shared party
walls to create triplexes or fourplexes. These forms should resemble a single family dwelling in order
- 3 -
to fit seamlessly into existing neighbourhoods. Dwelling units may also be arranged individually or
attached and clustered around a shared open space, in a courtyard residential housing form. The
new RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) zone, Bylaw No. 7312-2017, was given first reading at
the June 13, 2017 Council meeting.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Upper Hammond Precinct of the Hammond Area Plan. The
Upper Hammond Precinct encompasses the historic Port Hammond Area, and contains the small
commercial district surrounded by residential uses. This area is important for its commercial core
and strong heritage value and character. The smaller blocks and tight grid network of streets create
a more traditional, pedestrian oriented, small neighbourhood character, look and feel. As outlined by
the Hammond Area Development Permit Guidelines, the development intent of this precinct is to:
Accommodate new development and density;
Retain the heritage character and history of this area.
OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7349-2017, which integrates the proposed RT-2 (Ground-Oriented
Residential Infill) zone in the OCP and its area plans, and which is required to support the current
application, was given first reading at the June 13, 2017 Council meeting.
The development site is currently designated Low Density Multi-Family. This designation permits
townhouses, fourplex and courtyard development forms with ground level entry to each unit. Lands
under this designation are located in high activity areas along major corridor roads such as 207
Street. The following policies also apply to this development:
3-21 Maximum building height permitted is three (3) storeys.
The current application is in conformity with this policy.
3-22 The following characteristics should be incorporated into all forms of development
within the Low Density Multi-Family designation:
a) A site size and configuration that enables building orientation towards streets and
laneways wherever possible;
b) Careful consideration of size, location and orientation of on-site open space areas to
ensure new development allows ample sunlight and a variety of plant materials and
trees that are complementary to the existing mature landscaping that contributes to
the neighbourhood character;
c) Design that is sensitive to surrounding built form, particularly for buildings that are
three (3) storeys in height;
d) Parking for residents is provided in a concealed structure.
- 4 -
The current application is oriented towards 114 Avenue and the laneway in the back in conformity
with provision a) above. Parking for residents are also provided in garages in conformity with
provision d).
However, provision b) and c) speak to form and massing which are sensitive to the surrounding
context. While the building’s current footprint, setbacks and proposed three (3) storey height
conform with the draft RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) zone, the proposed massing and
scale may appear larger in comparison with the more modest existing housing forms around the
property. The prevalence of the large garages on the front and back of the building, large paved
areas for driveways, and small side yard setbacks may also give the development an auto-oriented
character. Recognizing that this application is at a very preliminary stage, a fuller evaluation of the
massing, façade, open spaces and scale of the proposed fourplex will take place between first and
second reading once full application packages are received. Furthermore, this application will be
referred to the City’s Advisory Design Panel for review.
Therefore, while the design is in its early stages, the proposed rezoning of the subject property to RT-
2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) to support the development of a fourplex aligns with the intent
of these OCP and neighbourhood residential infill policies.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 11384 207 Street from RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) to RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) to permit a fourplex. The
minimum lot size for the current RS-1 zone is 668 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RT-
2 zone for fourplexes is 850 m2. At this time, there are no known variances being requested to the
requirements of the proposed RT-2 zone. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone
will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Parking:
The Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw Amendment 7350-2017 to clarify the parking
requirements of the new RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) zone was given first reading on
June 13, 2017. The amendment specifies that two off-street parking spaces per unit, but no visitor
spaces, are required for triplex, fourplex, and courtyard residential developments. The current
application proposes eight (8) parking spaces in conformance with this parking bylaw amendment.
Four of the spaces (50%) are located in double-wide spaces while the other four are configured in
tandem arrangements. The preliminary site plan in Appendix D also shows the potential of six
additional parking spaces on unit driveways.
The current Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw 4350-1990 does not currently allow tandem
parking in the new RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) zone. Should Council support the current
application’s tandem parking arrangement, a text amendment to the current Off Street Parking
Bylaw will be brought forward in the near future. Otherwise, the applicant could be requested to
consider a different design configuration of the fourplex’s units to create more space on site for
double-wide spaces.
- 5 -
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. The Proposed
Triplex, Fourplex and Courtyard Housing Forms Overview report from April 18, 2016 stated that
applications for triplex, fourplex and courtyard housing will use the Multi-Family Development Permit
guidelines for those applications received in the first year. Applications will also be forwarded to the
Advisory Design Panel (ADP) for review. The process will be reviewed and reported to Council after
the first year and may result in the establishment of Development Permit guidelines specifically
developed for these ground-oriented residential infill housing forms.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to second reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because the proposal is for
less than five dwelling units.
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) Fire Department;
c) Licences, Permits and Bylaws Department;
d) School District; 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.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
2. A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D);
3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E), as necessary.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
- 6 -
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the proposed OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7349-2017.
This fourplex residential development provides an opportunity to allow sensitive infill on the site that
should be similar in form and scale to the surrounding single family dwelling neighbourhood. It is
recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and
assessed prior to second reading.

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject site consists of the four (4) properties located at 10386 240 Street and 24028, 24022
and 24060 104 Avenue. The site is generally flat, with the western part sloping down to 240 Street
and 104 Avenue. There are structures on the two western most lots and the site is well treed except
for the existing or former home sites. The property to the south is under development for 13 R-3
zoned lots (2016-069-RZ). The alignment of 240A Street has been coordinated between the subject
application and the one to the south, allowing 240A Street to be extending to 104 Avenue.
c) Project Description:
The proposal is for approximately 31 townhouses. The site will be bisected by 240A Street, such that
22 of the townhouse units will be on the west side and 9 units will be on the east side. There will be
6 townhouse block, two (2) containing six (6) townhouse units, three (3) containing five (5)
townhouse units and one (1) containing four (4) townhouse units. An outdoor open space (play area)
and 6 visitor parking spaces are shown in the preliminary site plan.
The site has a fair number of mature trees. Their retention will be reviewed and the layout may be
adjusted as part of the detailed submission for a future second reading report.
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
- 3 -
further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Medium
Density Residential.
The applicant intends to take advantage of the Albion Area Community Amenity Program and Density
Bonus Framework in Section 10.2.2 of the Albion Area Plan, which provides as follows:
Albion Plan Policy 10 - 6 Where the density bonus option is utilized in a multi-family
development, the density bonus framework provisions established in the Maple Ridge Zoning
Bylaw will apply to all dwelling units that exceed the base density permitted in the zone, in
addition to the city-wide Community Amenity Program established in Official Community Plan
Section 2.1.2 Compact and Unique Community.
Albion Plan Policy 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.
Policies applicable to this project with respect to detailed information to be provided at later stages
of this application include the following:
Being on a prominent corner and stretch of 104 Avenue, the following will be explored with the
applicant to be reflected in detailed plans:
OCP Policy 3 - 4 To foster a sense of community and neighbourhood identity, Maple Ridge will
encourage:
c) special streetscapes for individual neighbourhoods;
f) neighbourhood identification through distinctive streetscape elements;
i) perimeters and gateways to neighbourhoods through improved urban design elements
and appropriate transition spaces at the edges of neighbourhoods;
The subject site is on a prominent corner of 104 Avenue and 240 Street, a stretch of 104 Avenue
across from a future elementary school / community centre and a gateway into this emerging
neighbourhood with construction of 240A Street. Consequently, through the above policy, the
applicant will be asked to pay greater attention to providing distinctive design elements for the
corner buildings and open space at the corners, as well as achieving a strong pedestrian flavour for
those units facing 104 Street.
A reduced setback for the units to 104 Avenue may be one of the design elements that could be
supported.
- 4 -
Citywide Community Amenity Program:
The City-wide Community Amenity (CAC) Program approved by Council on March 14, 2016 and
amended on December 14, 2017, applies to this project. A voluntary contribution of $4,100 per
townhouse unit totalling $131,200 is required for this project before final reading.
Zoning Bylaw:

24022 and 24060 104 Avenue from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) to permit 31 townhouse units. There are setback variances required to accommodate
the curving street and for the long and shallow site. Any variations from the requirements of the
proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
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.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7422-2018
11701, 11709, 11715, 11723 and 11731 Fraser Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone one property with five addresses (11701, 11709,
11715, 11723 and 11731 Fraser Street) located on the former Northumberland Court strata
property, from RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential). For
the purposes of this report, this site will be referred to as “the Subject Property” to avoid repetition.
This rezoning would allow the Subject Property and the property to the west located at 11718 224
Street (already zoned RM-2) to both be developed as an apartment project. There would be 25
apartments at 11818 224 Street and another 55 on the Subject Site, for a total of 80 dwelling units.
The two apartment buildings would share a single underground parking building as well as vehicle
access from Fraser Street.
The proposed RM-2 zone requires the Subject Property to be redesignated from Ground-Oriented
Multi-Family to Low-Rise Apartment. To proceed further with this application additional information is
required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council policy, this application is also subject to the
Community Amenity Contribution Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i.The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii.The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii.The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v.Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that 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. 7422-2018 be given first reading; and
1104
- 2 -
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A C, D and E of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, and the additional information described in the
report dated January 30, 2018.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: Atterra Development Group Ltd. (Trisha Firth)
Legal Description: Strata Lots 1 through 20 District Lot 398 Group 1 NWD Strata
Plan NW8
OCP:
Existing: Ground-Oriented Multi-Family
Proposed: Low-Rise Apartment
Zoning:
Existing: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
Proposed: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Apartments
Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential)
C-3 (Town Centre Commercial)
Designation: Low-Rise Apartment and Town Centre Commercial
South: Use: Residential (these lands are subject to a Land Use Inquiry
application of Apartment development)
Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Ground-Oriented Multi-Family
East: Use: Street Townhouse and Residential
Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential)
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Ground-Oriented Multi-Family
West: Use: Apartment and vacant lot (to be consolidated with subject site)
Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential)
Designation: Low-Rise Apartment
Existing Use of Property: Vacant
Proposed Use of Property: Apartment
Site Area: 0.354 HA. (future combined site 0.464 HA.)
Access: Fraser Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
This Subject Property and the lot at 11718 224 Street, are vacant. The Subject Property slopes to
the south and southwest with scattered trees in southwest. This was once the Northumberland Court
site, containing 20 strata units in five buildings, with each building with its own Fraser Street
address. All the buildings were demolished in 2009 as a condition to proceed with an earlier
development application that did not complete and lapsed.
- 3 -
The site also has a statutory right-of-way for an underground hydro or gas utility that will need to be
considered by the applicant in the future development of the site.
c) Project Description:
This project is to rezone one property with five addresses (11701, 11709, 11715, 11723 and
11731 Fraser Street) that for the purposes of this report, this site will be referred to as “the Subject
Property” to avoid repetition.
The Subject Property is proposed to be rezoned from RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to RM-2
(Medium Density Apartment Residential). Once completed, this would allow the Subject Property and
the neighbouring lot to the west, located at 11718 224 Street (already zoned RM-2), to both be
developed as an apartment project. It would consist of one building with 55 units on the Subject
Property and a second building with 25 units on the adjacent site that is already zoned, for a total of
80 dwelling units. Vehicle access is proposed off Fraser Street to serve both apartment buildings,
with parking accommodated in a shared underground parking structure on top of which the two
4-storey apartment buildings would be located.
At this time, the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Town Centre Area Plan (the “TCA Plan”) and is currently
designated Ground-Oriented Multi-Family. To accommodate the proposed RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment Residential) zoning for this apartment project, the site will require a re-designation from
Ground-Oriented Multi-Family to Low-Rise Apartment.
The proposed re-designation will support the proposed RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment
Residential) zoned apartment buildings as follows:
The Zoning Matrix for the Town Centre Area Plan allows the RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment Residential) in the Low-Rise Apartment designation;
Town Centre Area (TCA) Plan Policy 3-22 for Low-Rise Apartments states that all Low-Rise
Apartment development should be a minimum of 3 storeys and a maximum of 5 storeys in
height. The description of the designation encourages an apartment form where units are
accessed from an internal corridor and residential parking is provided underground. The
preliminary site plan and design are fully compliant; and
A similar project is being considered by Council to the south at 11656 224 Street.
As part of negotiation, staff will attempt to secure under OCP Policies the following items:
- 4 -
That the unit mix be improved to include 3 bedroom units and some creative form of housing
like lock-off suites. The latter is in line with OCP Policy 3-29 recognising that secondary suites
can provide affordable and / or rental housing in the community;
That a portion of the units be designed in accordance with Section 3.8.5 of the BC Building
Code and SAFERHome Standards to achieve Adaptive Housing. This is encouraged by OCP
Policy 3-33 to incorporate the “age-in-place” concept in the community;
That public art be incorporated into the project. TCA Policy 3-14 speaks to incorporating
public art in outdoor spaces and has also been incorporated into building architecture as
well; and
Subject to best practices related to the Escarpment Area Policy, have stormwater
management such as bio-filtration and rain gardens integrated into the landscaping plans for
this project. This would be in accordance with OCP Policy 2-10 encouraging appropriate
storm management works be encouraged.
That sustainable measure be incorporated into the project, such as those encouraged by
OCP Policy 2-20 (Energy Efficient Design), OCP Policy 2-22 and OCP TCA Development Permit
Guidelines (Green Technologies, Gray Roof, etc.) and other works like energy efficient
appliance, low flush toilets, etc.
Rental or Affordable Housing subject to a Housing Agreement, if desired by Council.
The outcome of these negotiations will be reported in Council at second reading.
Recognising at this stage, the preliminary assessment of the project has concluded that once re-
designated, this project will be compliant with the Town Centre Area Plan with respect to land use
and density
Housing Action Plan (HAP)
The Housing Action Plan (HAP), which was endorsed by Council in September, 2014 identified rental
housing as a priority. The HAP also speaks of the need to provide a range of non-market, affordable
and special needs housing. This was reaffirmed with the endorsement of the Housing Action Plan
Implementation Framework in September, 2015.
If desired by Council, staff could engage the applicant to consider rental or affordable housing,
subject to a Housing Agreement. In this manner, this project could meet some of the objectives of
the Housing Action Plan. Among the objective staff is pursuing are: a better mix of units, including
three bedroom apartments, lock-off suites and adaptive housing units. More information and details
will be made available to Council in the future second reading report.
Citywide Community Amenity Program:
The City-wide Community Amenity (CAC) Program approved by Council on March 14, 2016 and
amended on December 12, 2017, applies to this project. Further details will be provided in the
second reading report about the voluntary contribution required to be submitted prior to final
adoption.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the Subject Property from RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) to permit 80 apartments in two buildings to be
constructed. There may be some setback variances required along the rear portion of Subject
Property and for the side lot lines due to the narrowness of the lot at 11718 224 Street. Any
- 5 -
variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit
application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit (North and South View)
application is required for all multifamily residential, flexible mixed use and commercial development
located in the Town Centre.
The overall project may be subject to two development permits. For the Subject Property, the
development permit would be issued concurrently with the rezoning to RM-2. For the portion of the
development project on lands already zoned RM-2 at 11718 224 Street, the applicant may proceed
with a separate development permit and coordinate the two projects.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Town Centre (North and South View) Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the
Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Building Department;
e) Parks Department;
f) School District;
g) Utility companies;
h) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and
i) 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 required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
- 6 -
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
3. A Town Centre Development Permit Application (Schedule D); and
4. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E).
In addition, sufficient information is to be provided to address the matters outlined earlier in
this report, including:
Extinguishing the Strata Plan as may be required by the Approving Officer;
Consolidating the subject site with the adjacent lot at 11718 224 Street;
Having a health unit mix, including 3 bedroom units and some creative form of housing
like lock-off suites;
Adaptive Housing (Section 3.8.5 of the BC Building Code and SAFERHome Standards);
Rental or Affordable Housing subject to a Housing Agreement, if desired by Council;
Public Art;

development proposal will be 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.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: January 30, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2017-580-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7421-2018
22866 128 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 22866 128 Avenue, from
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit subdivision into
approximately six single-family residential lots. To proceed further with this application additional
information is required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council Policy 6.31, this application is subject
to the Community Amenity Contribution charge of approximately $30,600 ($5,100 per lot).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7421-2018 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B of the Development
Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Applicant: Florwest Homes
Legal Description: Lot 52 Section 20 Township 12 Plan 40879
OCP:
Existing: Urban Residential
Proposed: Urban Residential
Zoning:
Existing: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
Proposed: R-1 (Residential District)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
1105
- 2 -
South: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
East: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
West: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single-Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single-Family Residential
Site Area: 0.40 ha (1 acre)
Access: 128 Avenue and a new local road
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is approximately one acre in size and is bound by urban sized single-family lots
to the north, west and south, and a one acre single-family property to the east (see Appendix B). The
subject property is relatively flat with no steep slopes or watercourses. A few trees are located on
the northern, central and eastern sections of the subject property.
c) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
to R-1 (Residential District) to permit future subdivision into approximately six single-family
residential lots. Access to the proposed lots will be provided from 128 Avenue and a new local road
(see Appendix D).
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 OCP designates the property Urban Residential, and development of the property is subject to
the Major Corridor Residential 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
Major Corridor Residential Infill policies.
- 3 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 22866 128 Avenue from
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit subdivision into
approximately six single-family residential lots. The minimum lot size for the current RS-2 (One
Family Suburban Residential) zone is 0.4 ha (1 acre), and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1
(Residential District) zone is 371 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will
require a Development Variance Permit application.
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 required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Building Department;
e) Parks Department;
f) School District; and
g) 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 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.
- 4 -
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.
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.

APPENDIX D
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: January 30, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2018-022-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7428-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 9, 2018, Council reviewed a staff report recommending the prohibition of cannabis sales
in all zones. In response, Council passed the following resolution:
That City of Maple Ridge staff begin the preparation of a Zoning Bylaw amendment
in the form of a bylaw as attached in Appendix III of the staff report dated January
9, 2018 to prohibit the sale of cannabis in any zone.
The proposed zoning bylaw text amendment is appended to this report as Appendix A.
Federal legislation to legalize non-medical cannabis is expected to become law in July 2018. This
provision to prohibit cannabis sales should be considered as an interim step until the Provincial
government has confirmed details regarding its approach to the retail sale of cannabis. Most
importantly, this measure is being used to prevent business operations from being set up in
advance of the provincial retail model.
This approach taken is consistent with legal advice given at the 2017 UBCM Convention. Other BC
municipalities, such as the City of White Rock, are also following this direction. This proposed
amendment will provide Council with an opportunity to consider appropriate land use options for the
sale of cannabis once the Provincial retail model is made clear.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7428-2018 be given First and Second Reading and
be forwarded to Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND:
1)PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
It is generally understood that the proposed Federal legislative changes are in process to make the
recreational use and sale of cannabis legal. However, in advance of a provincial cannabis retail
framework, it is a challenge for local governments to determine the most appropriate municipal
1106
- 2 -
approach to these upcoming changes. In recognition of this challenge, Council has directed that a
prohibition be placed on cannabis sales within municipal limits. It is recognized that further Zoning
Bylaw amendments may be warranted once there is greater clarity in the Federal and Provincial
context regarding this use.
2) PLANNING ANALYSIS:
This proposed amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is an interim regulatory measure. It will provide
Council and the community with an opportunity to review appropriate regulations for this particular
land use activity, once the Province has presented its regulatory framework. This bylaw is intended
to prevent businesses from setting up in contravention of existing bylaws, and ensure that future
cannabis retail sales outlets are established in appropriate locations in the municipality.
Currently, cannabis is regulated under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Access to
Cannabis for Medical Purpose Regulations (formerly known as the Marihuana for Medical Purposes
Regulations). Under this legislation, there is no provision allowing for the commercial sale or
dispensing of cannabis and associated products. The anticipated date for Canadian legalization is
July 2018.
Zoning Bylaw:
Most commercial zones in Maple Ridge permit retail sales. In the absence of zoning bylaw
regulations, there is a risk that cannabis sales, once legalized, could be established in any of these
commercial zones throughout the City, and retain legal non-conforming status once zoning bylaw
amendments are made.
The proposed text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw is to be made by adding section (h) below as
follows:
Part 4, General Reg ulations, Section 401 Uses of L and, Buildings and Structures, (3)
Prohibited Uses of Land Buildings, and Structures.
The following uses shall be prohibited in all zones.
(h) the retail sale of cannabis.
3) INTERGOVERNMENTAL ISSUES:
Proposed legislative changes to cannabis will involve Federal, Provincial and Local governments. A
summary of responsibilities is listed below.
Government of Canada . Under the new legislation, the Federal government is responsible for
establishing and maintaining a comprehensive and consistent national framework for regulating
production, setting standards for health and safety, and establishing criminal prohibitions.
- 3 -
Province of British Columbia. The Provincial government is authorized to establish a cannabis retail
and distribution framework, provided that any sale of cannabis is subject to minimum federal
conditions. Greater clarity is expected in the retail model, but so far the Province has confirmed that
it will be utilizing the BC Liquor Distribution Branch to provide the wholesale distribution of non-
medical cannabis. The retail system is anticipated to combine both private and public sector retail
outlets. It is important to consider that the creation of a private retail system could allow existing
illegal dispensaries to transition to the legal system and become legal retailers.
Local Government. In establishing proposed bylaw amendments relating to the consumption,
cultivation, or retail sale of cannabis, local governments have the responsibility to consider the limits
of their jurisdiction under the Community Charter and the Local Government Act.
In addition, the local government will need to respond to provincial regulations when they become
known with appropriate bylaw amendments (either zoning bylaw or business licencing).
Local governments have an added responsibility in ensuring that business licensing fees for
cannabis related businesses are a reasonable reflection of the costs of providing the business
regulation and licensing service. Revenues generated above these costs cannot currently be re-
directed to the local government’s general revenues1.
4) CITIZEN IMPLICATIONS :
Opportunities for public input will be provided through a Public Hearing that will be required prior to
adoption of this proposed text amendment, or any future Zoning Bylaw amendments that would
require Council approval.
5) INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:
As the proposed amendment is proposed as an interim measure prior to a clear Provincial retail
framework, it will likely be amended in the future. In the meantime, it strengthens the ability of the
Licences and Bylaws Department to provide enforcement services as the use will then clearly be
prohibited in the Bylaw.
1 In March 2017, UBCM requested that the Province consider a tax revenue sharing scheme with
local governments to help cover expected cost increases at the local level in regards to regulating
legal cannabis use.
- 4 -
CONCLUSION:
As directed by Council on January 9, 2018, the proposed interim bylaw amendment is
recommended, to prohibit cannabis sales within the City of Maple Ridge. This will prevent
businesses from setting up in contravention of existing bylaws, and will permit the City to consider
options for land use regulations once the Provincial government has determined the final model for
retail distribution of non-medical cannabis.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
20434 Chigwell Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application (2016-223-DVP) has been received in conjunction with an
application to rezone the subject property from RS-1 One Family Urban Residential to R-1 Residential
District and then subdivide into two parcels, retaining existing structures on site. The requested
variances are to:
1.Vary the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw to waive the street tree requirement,
2.Vary the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw to reduce the required diameter of
pipe for water service provision,
3.Vary the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw to waive the requirement for
underground wiring, and
4.Vary the Zoning Bylaw to reduce the interior side yard setback in the R-1 (Residential District)
Zone (west property line, non-conformity already exists).
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2016-223-RZ on January 30, 2016.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2016-223-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:

Concurrent Applications: 2016-223-RZ and 2016-223-SD for the rezoning
and subdivision of the subject property.
b) Project Description:
The proposal is to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1
(Residential District) and subdivide the subject property in the Lower Hammond Area. There is a
second dwelling on site that was placed there to provide a dwelling for a relative. This unit was
permitted under previous municipal provisions for compassionate suites that have since been
replaced by the provisions for temporary residential uses. As it currently stands, this structure is
non-conforming.
The existing dwellings on site are proposed to be retained, with one principal dwelling on each of the
proposed new lots. As these structures are already in existence, the proposed variances are due to
pre-existing non-conformities that will remain after the subdivision of these properties and the
retention of these structures.
Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw and the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw establish general minimum
and maximum regulations for 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):
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services
and Utilities:
- 3 -
To waive the requirement for, street trees in order for existing hedging to
remain.
2. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services
and Utilities
To waive the requirement to underground BC Hydro and Telus infrastructure.
accordance with Council Policy 9.05 – Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility
Wiring to Underground Wiring.:
The above variances are supported by the Engineering Department. The existing hedging offers an
acceptable landscape alternative to the street tree requirement. The subject property is within an
exempted area under Council Policy 9.05. There is no intention to underground the service at this
location; therefore, no securities in lieu of undergrounding the utility lines, are required.
3. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule D – Design
Criteria Manual (W 17):
To vary the diameter of water service pipe from 38 mm to 20 m.
The Maple Ridge Engineering Department recognizes that the existing dwellings are served by
undersized pipe, and supports a variance instead of requiring a service upgrade.
4. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 601 B. (11 c (iii))
To vary the interior side yard setbacks from 1.2 metres to 0.23 metres.
This variance is to legitimize an existing encroachment on the existing west property line. This
variance is supportable because the existing structure is non-conforming with respect to the Zoning
Bylaw and the applicant intends to retain this structure.
These existing structures are not yet at the end of their useful life. The rezoning application in
support of this proposal is in accordance with the Hammond Area Plan. The proposed R-1
Residential District zoning will give the new lot on the west side additional subdivision potential.
Subsequent development will provide the opportunity to ensure conformance with current servicing
standards and setback requirements at a later date.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances are supported because no changes are proposed to the neighbourhood as a
result of their approval.
- 4 -
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-223-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
20803 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application (2017-526-VP) has been received to vary the setback of a
restaurant drive-through height-restricting arch element for the A&W Restaurant at 20803 Lougheed
Highway. Council previously considered and issued a varance for this arch element to project up to
3.84 metres from the front lot line (Lougheed Highway). As the design was developed further, this
projection was found to require a minor change, a reduction from 3.84 to 2.72 metres from the front
lot line. This application was submitted to achieve this new projection setback.
The property is properly zoned as CS-1 (Service Commercial) Zone to accommodate the A&W
Restaurant under construction and the proposed height-restricting arch element.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2017-526-DVP respecting property located
at 20803 Lougheed Highway.

b) Project Description:
This application involves granting a variance for the construction of a Drive-through height-restricting
arch for the A&W Restaurant under construction at 20803 Lougheed Highway.
c) Variance Analysis:
The proposed change in the variance is minor, from 3.84 metres to 2.72 metres from the front lot
line (Lougheed Highway) is necessary to reflect and accommodate the updated design.
The Engineering Department and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure have no objection
to this change.
The requested variance is supportable to provide for the minor change to the projection for the drive-
through height-restricting arch design necessary for the restaurant operation. Therefore, Part 7,
Section 708 Service Commercial: CS-1 Subsection 8) of the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -
1985 is to be varied as follows:
That the setback requirement be varied to 2.72 metres for the arch feature projection to the front lot
line (Lougheed Highway).
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance to allow a height-restricting drive-through arch to project up to 2.72 metres is
supported because it accommodates a minor change associated with the restaurant operation.

It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2017-526-DVP.

b) Project Description:
The subject property is located at 23711 132 Avenue (see Appendices A and B). The applicant is
proposing three single family residential lots on the southern portion of the subject property, south of
Maple Ridge Park Creek. Two of the lots will front 132 Avenue, and a third lot, the existing home, is
proposed as a panhandle lot. All three lots will have access from 132 Avenue, with the existing
house utilizing a panhandle driveway located between the two new lots fronting 132 Avenue (see
Appendix C). The area surrounding Maple Ridge Park Creek will be dedicated to the City as Park, and
will include a pedestrian trail on the north side of the creek that will connect to an existing trail in the
adjacent Cedar Park.
The same applicant is proposing a sixteen unit townhouse development through a separate rezoning
application, 2016-176-RZ, on the northern half of the subject property, north of Maple Ridge Park
Creek. Application 2016-176-RZ will be accessed from 133 Avenue, which is a separate access
from the subject application. There is no access proposed between the townhouse site to the north
and the single family lots to the south. The applicant is pursuing separate rezoning applications in
anticipation that the single family development will proceed faster than the multi-family application;
however, the subject Wildfire Development Permit application will cover the entire property, north
and south.
A Wildfire Hazard Assessment has been received from Diamond Head Consulting Ltd. and was
prepared by a Registered Professional Forester qualified by training or experience in fire protection
engineering, with at least two years of experience in fire protection engineering and with assessment
and mitigation of wildfire hazards in British Columbia.
3
c) Planning Analysis:
The Wildfire Development Permit Area Guidelines are intended for the protection of life and property
in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire and where this risk, in some cases, may be
reasonably abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary measures.
A Wildfire Development Permit is required for all development and subdivision activity or building
permits for areas within the Wildfire Development Permit area, as identified in the OCP. The Wildfire
Development Permit Guidelines are to work in concert with all other regulations, guidelines and
bylaws in effect.
This development respects the key guidelines as outlined in this section with comments provided by
the Registered Professional Forester:
1. Locate development on individual sites so that, when integrated with the use of mitigating
construction techniques and landscape management practices, the risk of wildfire hazards is
reduced;
Forested areas within the riparian area will be untreated. Forested areas within zone 2-30 m
from buildings will be untreated due to the low wildfire risk rating.
2. Mitigate wildfire impacts while respecting environmental conservation objectives and other
hazards in the area;
The riparian setback area will be left undisturbed.
3. Ensure identified hazard areas are recognized and addressed within each stage of the land
development process;
All forested areas have been assessed and delineated into fuel types. Fire behaviour potential
of these areas has been analysed. These findings have driven the recommended fuel
treatments.
4. Manage the interface forest fuel components, including vegetation and structures, thereby
increasing the probability of successful fire suppression, containment and minimize adverse
impacts.
Building materials and landscape will follow FireSmart guidelines for Zone 1. Zone 2 – 30 m
from buildings is within private property and a public park (Cedar Park). These areas were
assessed to have a low-moderate risk of wildfire and no treatments are required.
4
CONCLUSION:
This application is consistent with the Wildfire Development Permit Key Guideline Concepts (Section
8.12.1) and Guidelines (Section 8.12.2), and in consideration of the Home Owners FireSmart
Manual (BC Forest Service Protection Program). Therefore, it is recommended that this Wildfire
Development Permit 2017-004-DP be approved.

SUBJECT: Temporary Commercial Use Permit Renewal
22245 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7108-2014 was adopted on February 10, 2015, which
permitted CS-1 (Service Commercial) uses, within the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zoned building
on the subject property, located at 22245 Lougheed Highway (see Appendices A and B). A
Temporary Commercial Use Permit was issued on March 12, 2015 and expires on March 15, 2018.
The owner would like to renew the Temporary Commercial Use Permit for an additional three years.
A Temporary Commercial Use Permit may only be renewed once, therefore, this will be the final
Temporary Commercial Use Permit that can be issued for this property.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Temporary Commercial Use Permit 2014-074-CU, respecting property located at 22245
Lougheed Highway, be renewed and re-issued for an additional three years and that the Corporate
Officer be authorized to sign and seal the renewed permit.

Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) to allow a Temporary Commercial Use Permit on the
subject property. A car dealership currently occupies the subject property under the previously
approved Temporary Commercial Use Permit (see Appendix C) and the owner wishes to renew the
Temporary Commercial Use Permit for an additional three years. The long-term plans for the entire
parcel are for re-development and lot consolidation for a future mixed-use development.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Temporary Commercial Use Permit, 2014-074-CU, respecting property
located at 22245 Lougheed Highway, be renewed and re-issued for an additional three years and
that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal the renewed permit.

for the Temporary Commercial Use Permit associated with the Official Community Plan amendment
to be issued.
RECOMMENDATION:

b) Project Description:
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7108-2014 amended Appendix D - Temporary Use
Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) to allow a Temporary Commercial Use Permit on the
subject property (see Appendix B). A vacant building currently exists on the subject property. The
bylaw allows CS-1 (Service Commercial) uses, with the exception of: n) recycling depot; r) service
station; s) warehousing; t) Liquor Primary Establishment; and u) Licensee Retail Store, on a
temporary basis, in the existing building. The long-term plans for the entire parcel are for
redevelopment and lot consolidation for a future mixed-use development.
c) Planning Analysis:
The subject property is currently zoned C-3 (Town Centre Commercial), which does not permit the
highway commercial use. As the lots to the east, which are also owned by the applicant, are zoned
CS-1 (Service Commercial), which permits the highway commercial use, the applicant feels that they
would be in a better position to rent out the existing smaller building for a CS-1 (Service Commercial)
use at this time. A rezoning and development application may be submitted in the future that would
incorporate rezoning and developing the assembly of lots owned by the applicant; therefore, a
temporary use permit is more appropriate than a rezoning application at this point in time.
d) Intergovernmental Issues:
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and School District 42 did not have any concerns
with this temporary use.
e) Citizen/Customer Implications:
A Development Information Meeting was held at 22245 Lougheed Highway on November 20, 2014.
Nobody attended the meeting, therefore no concerns were raised. Public notice regarding this
permit has been advertised in the local newspaper.
- 3 -
CONCLUSION:
As Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7108-2014 was adopted on February 10, 2015;
therefore, it is now appropriate to recommend that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and
seal 2014-074-CU respecting property located at 22245 Lougheed Highway.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read DATE: January 30, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: RFP-OP14-45
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Contract Renewal Award: Traffic Flagging Services
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On October 15, 2014, the City issued a Request for Proposals to establish a select list of qualified
flagging companies to provide the City with traffic control services on an as and when required basis.
Following an extensive detailed review of the proposals, three companies were selected. The
Contract with each highest ranking company was for a one (1) year period with four (4) options to
renew annually. After review of the third year (2017) year performance, staff is recommending
renewing each contract for an additional one year period to cover the 2018 service year. This
renewal would be the third renewal year under RFP-OP14-45, leaving one final optional renewal year.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the “Traffic Flagging Services under RFP-OP14-45’ contracts be renewed with Go Traffic
Management Inc., Ansan Industries Ltd., and BCRS Road Safe Inc., for an additional one year period
and furthermore, that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contracts.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Traffic flagging services provide support to various departments in construction and
emergent sites by providing traffic control plans, traffic control supervision, traffic control
equipment and traffic control personnel. Safety of crews and the public is of the utmost
importance and the commitment for professional and Worksafe compliant work sites is
imperative. Following the issuance of a Request for Proposals, 10 submissions were
received. Following an extensive detailed review of the proposals, three companies were
selected as best qualified to do the work.
Contracts were awarded to Go Traffic Management Inc., Ansan Industries Ltd., and BCRS
Road safe Inc., for the provision of flagging services on an as and when required basis. The
companies have performed in a professional, responsive and cost effective manner to date.
After review of the previous one year performance of the three contractors’, this report
recommends renewing the Contracts with the three Contractor’s for an additional one year
period.
1111
b) Financial Implications:
Annual traffic control flagging costs vary depending on planned and unplanned workload.
Over the past three years, the annual average cost for these flagging services is
approximately $387,000, which is within the approved budget amount.
CONCLUSION:
The City of Maple Ridge currently has contracts with three companies. Those contracts allow for an
annual extension. Based on the previous years ‘performance of the companies, this report
recommends extending their contracts for one year.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Thornhill Park Observation Well - License of Occupation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
(FLNRORD) is interested in establishing an observation well in the Thornhill area to collect data on
the Grant Hill Aquifer and have suggested Thornhill Park as a potential location. The Ministry has
deemed the Grant Hill Aquifer to be of high importance to the local community as a result of
numerous complaints received regarding dry wells which have occurred in this area for several years.
This proposed observation well would be part of the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well
Network (PGOWN) used to collect water level and chemistry data on aquifers across the Province,
which is then shared with the public through Ministry websites. Municipal staff has reviewed the
proposed location within Thornhill Park, and a License of Occupation agreement provided by the
Ministry (Attachment 2) was reviewed by our legal advisors.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Thornhill Park Observation Well License of
Occupation with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
for the purpose of establishing an observation well for the Grant Hill Aquifer.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The City has been approached by FLNRORD to provide a suitable location for an observation
well within the Thornhill/Grant Hill area as part of the Provincial Groundwater Observation
Well Network. PGOWN is operated through a joint partnership between FLNRORD and the
Ministry of Environment (MOE). Through these observation wells, groundwater level data is
collected hourly along with the groundwater chemistry data through seasonal or annual
sampling. Observation wells have been in operation since the 1960’s and there are 38
active observation wells in the South Coast region including one in Maple Ridge
(OW259/Aquifer #26) which has been collecting data on the Whonnock Aquifer for nearly 40
years.
FLNRORD identified a beneficial well location for monitoring the Grant Hill Aquifer on lands
owned by the City of Maple Ridge at Thornhill Park, and a site location was refined in
discussion with City staff (Attachment 1). The observation well is proposed to be located in
an area of the park which does not detract from park patrons’ enjoyment or Thornhill Hall
activities, with easy access from 98 Avenue and at an appropriate distance from Thornhill
1151
Hall’s septic field and existing well. FLNRORD proposes to undertake all work to establish
and maintain the observation well at their cost, including the utility locate, well drilling and
installation by a qualified contractor, and clean up. All costs, including the ongoing
maintenance of the well and decommissioning, would be the responsibility of
FLNRORD/MOE.
The Grant Hill Aquifer (#19), a large bedrock aquifer located in the southeast portion of
Maple Ridge, has been deemed by the Ministry to be of high importance to the local
community as a result of numerous complaints received over several years regarding dry
wells in this area. It is anticipated that data from the proposed Grant Hill Aquifer observation
well would be used to establish trends in groundwater levels, develop or refine hydrogeology
models, and inform groundwater management decision-making. Data collected from these
observation wells is provided to the public through two websites which serve different
purposes:
1) Groundwater Level Data Interactive Map:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-
water/water/groundwater-wells/aquifers/groundwater-observation-well-
network/groundwater-level-data-interactive-map
2) Real-time Water Data:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/water/water-
science-data/water-data-tools/real-time-water-data-reporting
A draft License of Occupation agreement provided by FLNRORD has been reviewed by the
City’s legal advisors and is attached for Council’s consideration (Attachment 2).
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to provide a suitable site for an observation well within the Grant Hill
Aquifer area.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This recommendation supports the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network
program and will provide valuable groundwater information to our residents.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed observation well in Thornhill Park provides a location to monitor the sensitive
Grant Hill Aquifer, and the data obtained by the Ministry will be shared with the public.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Environmental Planning staff has been informed of the Provincial Groundwater Observation
Well Network program and has reviewed and endorsed the proposed well location.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
All costs to establish, maintain and decommission the observation well will be borne by the
Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development.
g) Alternatives:
The alternative would be to decline the offer of a License of Occupation with FLNRORD and
direct staff to recommend other nearby lands within the Grant Hill Aquifer area that may be
suitable. This is not recommended as the location identified in Thornhill Park is considered
by both the Province and the City’s Environmental Planning staff to be a beneficial well
location for monitoring the Grant Hill Aquifer, and would not detract from park patrons’ use
and enjoyment of the park and Thornhill Hall activities.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development has observation
wells in many locations throughout the Province as part of the PGOWN program. The City has
received a request from the Ministry for a well in Thornhill Park which will enable the monitoring of
ground water levels of the Grant Hill Aquifer which is of high interest due to numerous dry well
complaints received by the Ministry. Establishment, maintenance and observation activities for the
well would not significantly impact park use and enjoyment or Thornhill Hall activities. All costs
including the well drilling, installation and clean up, monitoring equipment, ongoing maintenance of
the well and decommissioning would be the responsibility of FLNRORD.

and Members of Council FILE NO: 01-0230-20
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council Society Operating and Lease Agreements
- Renewal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The operating and lease agreements attached for consideration are renewals to previous
agreements between the City of Maple Ridge and the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council
Society (the “Arts Council”). The term of the operating and lease agreements is three years, from
2018 - 2020. The Arts Council continues to operate and manage one of the best large arts and
culture facilities in the Lower Mainland with award winning programs and innovative services. This
multi-year agreement format for municipal support will provide the Arts Council with ongoing
financial stability and allow it to further build organizational capacity and improved operational
efficiency and effectiveness – including taking care of the facility as a civic asset. In 2018, the Arts
Council will be celebrating its 15th anniversary of operating the ACT Arts Centre, a milestone that
reflects the Arts Council’s success in engaging the community and fulfilling its commitment to
artistic excellence and responsible facility management.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council Society’s Operating and Lease Agreements dated
January 1, 2018 be approved for a three year term; and
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Arts Council has provided excellent artistic and cultural programs and services to our
community for many years, including responsible management of the ACT Arts Centre
facility (ACT). The ACT Arts Centre, open since 2003, provides high quality arts programs,
Gallery exhibitions and performing arts presentations to over 80,000 patrons annually,
and is home to many cultural and community events. The Arts Council has met the
obligations of the current agreement, and some of its achievements include increased
community outreach, diversified artistic offerings, increased learning opportunities
including workshops and post-show talks, and creation of the inaugural Maple Ridge
Festival of BC Film. In addition, the Arts Council developed community public art projects
1152
2
ID 1738415
along with Canada 150 programming, and created a new position of Facility Manager to
better address operating requirements.
In 2015, the agreement structure and content was modified to reflect current practice
and included an accountability framework. The updated agreements have worked out
well for both parties and upon review during this renewal process, only minor
adjustments were identified. Highlights of the proposed minor changes to the agreement
and the lease are as follows:
1. Agreement
a. Department name was changed to Parks, Recreation & Culture throughout
the document to reflect the change for the City of Maple Ridge.
b. The word “cultural” replaces “arts” in the document to reflect the broader
scope of programs and services offered at the Arts Centre.
c. The recommended budget increase for the renewed agreement with the Arts
Council Society reflects the increased portion of the funding allotment in the
2018–2022 Financial Plans:
$13,041 in 2018
$13,300 in 2019
$13,567 in 2020
This equates to an increase of approximately 2% per year, net of the $80,000
lease amount.
d. Section 9i clarifies that the City’s funding would not be duplicated by other
sources of funding to meet the new provincial gaming criteria. This ensures
organizations are not receiving duplicate funding for the same programs and
services.
e. In section 11b, “similar mechanism” is added to reflect the Arts Council’s
plan to expand the Capital Improvement Fund (CIF), collected per ticket fee,
for capital improvements through other program avenues as the building and
equipment are aging and will require upgrade and replacement in the near
future.
f. Section 11d clarifies that the Arts Council can also use any monies raised
and donated for capital items and improvements by directly expending these
funds towards capital items to be purchased, and recording it in the financial
statement for tracking purposes as per current practice.
2. Lease
a. Reference in section 1.5i and section 6 refers to a new Facility Service Level
Guidelines document that was created for operational purposes to clarify
landlord (City) and tenant (Arts Council) responsibilities for the premises. This
operating document will be reviewed by representatives of the landlord and
tenant on a regular basis.
3
ID 1738415
b. In section 6.3, further clarification provided that the landlord may need
access to the facility on short notice for operational purposes and the tenant
would not unreasonably withhold access.
The operating grant from the City represents a portion of the overall budget for the Arts Council
to operate the ACT Arts Centre and to provide the full spectrum of cultural programs and
services. As the primary arts programmer of the region, the Arts Council receives educational
and performing arts presentation funding from both the provincial and federal governments
along with sponsors and donors. The proposed small increase will allow the Society to further
strengthen its financial position, to continue to leverage additional funding sources, and to
address community needs and operating obligations as the community continues to grow.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to continue to develop a robust and engaged cultural sector that
contributes towards an increased sense of community, cultural vitality, volunteerism, and an
enhanced local economy that attracts tourists and participants and improves quality of life for
residents and businesses.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The recommendation aligns with the 2010 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan direction
(6.5 Cultural Facilities, Arts, Culture and Heritage) to continue to support and increase
opportunities for participation in the arts.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed updated agreements contribute to encouraging positive recreational and cultural
opportunities, education and citizen engagement in arts, culture and heritage, as well as the
development of a safe, affordable, vibrant, and livable community.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The proposed agreement renewals align with business planning goals. Funding of the Arts
Council is included in the 2018 - 2022 Financial Plans for $747,046/year in 2018,
$760,346/year in 2019 and $773,913/year in 2020.
4
ID 1738415
CONCLUSIONS:
The Arts Council provides leadership to the cultural sector and has demonstrated its ability to
operate and manage the ACT Arts Centre and provide a high caliber of cultural programs and
services to our communities. Renewing the operating agreement and lease for 2018 - 2020 is
recommended and is within the funding envelope identified in the 2018 - 2022 Financial Plans,
which takes into consideration a modest inflationary increase and ensures a sustainable service to
the community. Civic support will help to foster the recognition of the role that arts, culture and
heritage play in the sustainability of cities, especially in relation to economic prosperity, innovation,
creativity and the health and wellness of the community.

in its discretion, terminate this Lease without compensation to the Tenant.

payment of rent and other charges beyond the date of vesting of title to the Premises in the
public authority or the date upon which the public authority will have the right to the
possession of the Premises, whichever is earlier (herein called the “expropriation date”) will
cease and following the due settlement by the expropriating authority of such awards as may
be payable as a result of the expropriation, this lease and all right, title and interest of the
Tenant hereunder will terminate, effective as of the expropriation date. If during the Term a
part of the Premises is so taken or expropriated and the remainder of the Premises is
sufficient to allow the Tenant to reasonably efficiently carry on its normal business
operations, then this Lease will continue in full force and effect, save and except that the
Tenant will be liable for rent in respect of the part of the Premises so taken only up to the
expropriation date and thereafter the Rent and other charges payable hereunder will be
reduced proportionately in the reasonable determination of the Landlord on a square footage
basis. All compensation and damages awarded by the expropriating authority with respect to
the taking of the Premises or part thereof including any payment for diminution in value of
the remainder of the Premises will belong to the Landlord and the Tenant will only be entitled

10.1 Events of Delay
If either the Landlord or the Tenant is unable to provide any service, utility, work, or repair by
reason of an Event of Delay not the fault of the party delayed, the time for performing the
obligation shall be extended by that period of time which is equal to length of the delay, but
this shall not operate to excuse the Tenant or the Landlord from the prompt payment of any
amount required under the Lease. The Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be, will use
all reasonable efforts to overcome any such Event of Delay. Neither the Landlord nor the
Tenant will be entitled to compensation for any inconvenience, nuisance, or discomfort
caused by such an Event of Delay, or to cancel this Lease.
10.2 Overholding
This Lease will terminate at the End of the Term without notice or demand. If the Tenant
stays in the Premises after the End of the Term without objection by the Landlord and
without a further written agreement with the Landlord, such holding over will not constitute a
renewal of this Lease. In such case, the Landlord, at its option, may elect to treat the Tenant
as one who has not vacated at the End of the Term and to exercise all its remedies in that
situation, or may elect to construe such holding over as a tenancy from month to month
subject to all the terms of this Lease, except:
(a) for Term;
(b) basic rent which will be equal to two times the Basic Rent payable in advance in
monthly installments on the first day of each month; and
21
C:\Users\Vickief\AppData\Local\Temp\Arts Centre Lease 2018-2020.docx_1852293\Arts Centre Lease 2018-2020.docx
(c) that there will be no inducements or allowances, renewal rights, rent abatements,
rights of refusal, rights to additional space or other like concessions or rights.
This provision shall not authorize the Tenant to overhold where the Landlord has objected.
10.3 Exhibiting Premises
The Landlord, during normal business hours, may exhibit the Premises to prospective
tenants during the last 6 months of the Term and, at all reasonable times, to the Landlord's
prospective purchasers and lenders, but, in doing, will disturb the Tenant as little as possible.
10.4 Subordination
This Lease and the Tenant's rights will be subordinated and postponed to all mortgages and
other financial charges which now or hereafter charge the Premises, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, or extensions of same, notwithstanding the
respective dates of execution or registration. The Tenant, at the Landlord's cost, will execute
any instrument confirming such subordination and postponement.
10.5 Certificates
The Landlord and the Tenant agree that at any time and from time to time upon not less than
thirty (30) days prior request by the other party, each will execute, acknowledge and deliver
to the other a statement in writing certifying:

modifications that the same are in full force and effect as modified and identifying
the modifications;
(b) the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid and the request shall
specify the charges in respect of which such information is required;
(c) that, so far as the maker of the statement knows, without having conducted any
searches or made any particular enquiries, the party who requests the statement is
not in default under any provisions of this Lease; or, if in default, the particulars
thereof; and
(d) any other reasonable information which is requested.
10.6 Attornment
If any person shall through the Landlord succeed to the rights of the Landlord under this
Lease or to ownership of the Premises, whether through possession or foreclosure or the
delivery of a transfer of the Premises then, upon the request of the party succeeding to the
Landlord's rights hereunder, the Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Landlord's
mortgagee or other party as the landlord of the Tenant under this Lease, and shall promptly
execute and deliver any instrument that such party may reasonably request to evidence the
attornment. In the event of any other transfer of the interest of the Landlord hereunder,
upon the written request of the transferee and the Landlord, the Tenant shall attorn to and
22
C:\Users\Vickief\AppData\Local\Temp\Arts Centre Lease 2018-2020.docx_1852293\Arts Centre Lease 2018-2020.docx
recognize the transferee as the landlord of the Tenant under this Lease and shall promptly
execute and deliver any instrument that the transferee and Landlord may reasonably request
to evidence the attornment provided that the transferee agrees with the Tenant to become
the landlord hereunder and to assume the obligations of the Landlord hereunder that are to
be performed after the transfer.

several. The Tenant will cause the Tenant's employees, invitees, licensees, and other

be a default by the Tenant. The Tenant will be liable to the Landlord for the negligent or

Strategic Plan 2016 – 2018
Focus on Quality
Approved September 15, 2015
Background
In 1970 the Community Arts Council of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows was founded by a dedicated group of artists
and in 1971 the council was incorporated as a society called the Community Arts Council of T'Lagunna, a First
Nations word for "Golden Ears." Through the 1980's the Arts Council continued to grow and over time evolved
into the Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Arts Council (MRPMAC), which truly reflects its commitment to both
communities. The Arts Council has a long history of service to the community, including delivering Arts
Programs in partnership with the MRPM Parks and Leisure Services Commission since the 1990’s. In 2003 the
Arts Council undertook the management of The Maple Ridge ACT Arts Centre and Theatre, and began its role
as the key presenter in the region, bringing a wide variety of performing artists for all ages to perform at The
ACT. In 2005 the Arts Council was also asked to take on the operations of the Maple Ridge Art Gallery, to
enable the Arts Centre to continue to serve the visual arts community upon the dissolution of the Maple Ridge
Art Gallery Society. It has recently updated the Fee for Service to a new three year operating agreement with
the Commission.
Extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders, including its membership, took place in 2014 and
2015, in order to gain knowledge of the community’s understanding of the Arts Council and the Arts Centre. It
was found that the many functions and activities developed over forty-five years could be unified under the
brand of The ACT Arts Centre, with the byline “Serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows” used to better reflect
the organization’s funding and regional focus. This consolidation of the public identity as a society and facility
allows for all operations and services to be considered as a whole, rather than credited under different names,
building on the strength of the already established name in common public use - The ACT Arts Centre.
The ACT Arts Centre sets the standard in the region for excellence in Arts Programs, Gallery Exhibitions and
Performing Arts Presentations, along with being home to many cultural and community events, reaching over
70,000 patrons annually. The award winning ACT Presents Season offers around 30 performances a year
attracting close to 10,000 patrons annually, while the ACT Art Gallery sees over 7,000 guests. The Arts
Programs register approximately 2,500 participants annually, and offer programs at facilities in both Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
2
The operating organization is a non-profit charitable society governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, with
professional management and staff, supported by a dedicated core of volunteers. In addition to its public
programming described above, as a community and member centered organization, The ACT Arts Centre acts
as an arts resource and forum for arts engagement; delivers numerous member services and benefits;
produces many community initiatives and events and provide access programs such as: the Arts Angels Tickets,
Bursaries and School Access Programs, Scholarships and Member Group Grants.
The annual operating budget of The ACT Arts Centre is just under $2 million, made up of earned revenue
(44%), municipal funding (38%), other grants (11%) and membership, services and donations (7%).
The ACT Arts Centre’s aim is to offer vibrant arts and cultural opportunities and experiences through
excellence in artistic and educational programming, customer, member and community service. Dedicated to
promoting and encouraging appreciation for the arts in society, we engage and enable the community’s
creative potential while creating public impact and value.
Vision
To bring arts to the heart of our community.
Mission
We work in partnership with the community to develop, promote and celebrate the arts.
Values
Leadership
We build a creative environment that will advance cultural development in the communities of Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows, as well as advocate provincially and nationally for the importance of arts and
culture as part of the fabric of a healthy society.
Collaboration
We demonstrate collaborative spirit with arts and business partners within our capacity and resources.
Integrity
We encourage honesty, responsibility, openness and accountability in all our activities.
Diversity
We endeavour to provide a diverse scope of presentations, programs and exhibitions, while involving a
broad spectrum of participants in our activities and in our organization.
Accessibility
We provide affordable presentations and programs and offer possibilities for engagement and
subsidized or free access programs to ensure greater participation for those who may not be able to
regularly access arts experiences.
Innovation
We expand the capacity of the organization to employ innovative practices and people, and peak our
patrons’ interest in innovative and risk-taking through our presentations and programs.
Enjoyment
We elicit enjoyment in our work, those we work with and those we serve.
3
Programming Mandate
to present high quality exhibitions and performances featuring primarily Canadian artists
to present a diverse balance of artistic and educational programming
to develop The ACT Arts Centre as an inclusive centre for arts and culture within the community,
appealing to a wide range of interests and ages
to create mutually beneficial co-presenting opportunities, within our resources, with other not-for-
profit arts and community organizations that will strengthen and diversify the cultural sector
to encourage and support local artists and arts organizations through the execution of our vision,
mission and values
Strategic Priorities
The growth of The ACT Arts Centre since 2003 has been extraordinary. Taking on the management of a major
facility and expanding performing and visual arts programming, while maintaining existing services and arts
programs, required a great deal of focus on internal operations and procedures. This was done while
developing a reputation as a solid arts programmer and valued community partner.
This strategic plan builds on the strong foundation established over the last twelve years. Having achieved a
level of success, The ACT Arts Centre now seeks to move to the next level of programming and operations.
This overarching goal will need the full commitment of the Board, staff and volunteers of the organization.
Two areas appear throughout the strategic priorities – increased fundraising and increased community
outreach. A strong commitment to these two areas – lead by the board of directors, and championed by all,
will be the success of the Plan.
A. Programming
Artistic activities are at the core of the organization and will play a key role in moving the organization to
the next level. Programming at The ACT Arts Centre encompasses a wide variety of activities, from hands-
on learning to active audience engagement, to interactive participation. In all activity, engagement with
the community is at the forefront. For the next three years raising the bar on the artistic product will be a
key priority – whether that is taking artistic programming risks in The ACT Presents series, expanding the
scope of the Art Gallery through new collaborative initiatives, or continuing to employ working artists as
instructors for Arts Programs classes, The ACT Arts Centre is committed to ensuring the citizens of Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows have access to the finest artistic experiences possible.

components to help bring arts to the heart of the community. Currently staff or board members are
represented at the Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association, the Economic Advisory Committee and
various other community and volunteer networks.

and other volunteers are key to ensuring the organization is focused on achieving its mission and delivering
it in a manner that resonates with patrons, clients and the community at large. At the same time, there is a

and the City of Maple Ridge’s commitment to the facility. (Detail available in Operating and Lease

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: January 30, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 01-0230-20
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Haney Farmers Market Society Operating Agreement - Renewal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The operating agreement attached for consideration is a renewal of a previous agreement between
the City of Maple Ridge and the Haney Farmers Market Society (the “Society”). The agreement is
for a three-year term from 2018 - 2020. The Society continues to coordinate one of the best
medium-sized farmers markets in the Lower Mainland that allows people to access locally grown
food and other products, supports small scale growers and producers, and delivers local
agricultural and food security education and awareness to the community during market events.
This multi-year agreement format for municipal support will continue to provide the Society with
stability and allow it to reach a new level of operational efficiency, effectiveness and capacity.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Haney Farmers Market Society’s Operating Agreement dated January 1, 2018 be
approved for a three year term; and,
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the agreement.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Since 2004, the Haney Farmers Market Society has been operating a weekly market in
Memorial Peace Park, and at other indoor venues from time to time, that has grown
substantially and continues to be a major contributor to the vibrancy of downtown Maple Ridge
on weekends. The Society grew from a grassroots neighbourhood project supported by the
City, and continues to focus on building community, creating connections and partnerships,
and working collaboratively. They participate in Earth Day, National Aboriginal Day, Canada
Day, GETI Fest and a trip to the historic Brookfield Farm. The Society partners with many other
groups during their seasonal operations, and has a representative on the Agricultural Advisory
Committee of Council.
In 2015, the Maple Ridge Community Grant annual allocation to the Society was combined
with the Festivals Support Fund annual allocation under one Operating Agreement format. This
streamlined approach has worked well for both the Society and City, improving efficiencies and
1153
2
ID 1738415
providing stability for the organization through multi-year funding. Renewing the Operating
Agreement would be beneficial for both parties and the community to have access to a local
farmers market, to have a vibrant place that supports strong community connections, and to
continue drawing shoppers and visitors downtown. The Haney Farmers Market Society’s 30
market event days have become popular destinations during their operation from May to early
November. Average annual attendance is estimated to be over 45,000 visits, with spin-off
benefits to the local economy.
There are no material changes to the operating agreement from the previous term, and the
three-year period has been the standard practice for community partners with an operating
agreement. There is a standard clause in the agreement that allows either party to cancel the
agreement with six months’ notice (180 days).
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to increase access, education and understanding of the importance of
agriculture and food security in our community and provide assistance towards the
sustainability of this community-based organization.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The recommendation aligns with the 2010 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan
directions (3.2 Urban Agriculture) to continue to support and increase opportunities for
promoting healthy community initiatives that are accessible to all residents and to build a
sustainable community.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed updated agreement contributes to encouraging positive agricultural
opportunities, education and citizen engagement in local agriculture and food security, as well
as the development of a safe, affordable, vibrant, and livable community.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Society also works with Engineering, RCMP, Fire and Communications in their event
planning process through the Intradepartmental Municipal Events Committee.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The proposed agreement renewal aligns with the business plan goals. Funding of the Haney
Farmers Market Society is included in the 2018-2022 financial plans for $7,500/year.
The agreement provides the Society with the option to renew for three consecutive terms. Each
term is three years in length. This agreement is recognized as term two of the renewal option (the
first term was 2015-2017). The Society will also continue to receive in-kind contributions of
3
ID 1738415
access to municipal equipment including tables, chairs, and other related materials during each
market over the course of the agreement, pending availability.
g) Policy Implications:
The operating and lease agreement renewal aligns with the Festival Support P100 and
Volunteer P127 Policies.
CONCLUSIONS:
The operating agreement with the Haney Farmers Market Society demonstrates civic support of
community connections and strengthens the sustainability and capacity of our local farmers
market. The municipal contribution helps to drive a multitude of benefits to our communities, both
economic and social. Farmers markets offer quality food, help support smaller-scale farmers,
producers and makers to be viable, increase the amount of local food available to shoppers, and
teach us how food is produced and why. Staff recommends that Council approve the Haney
Farmers Market Society Operating Agreement for 2018 - 2020.
