The Mayor called for speakers for the first time.
David Ing
Mr. Ing spoke in opposition to the application. He outlined his concerns with the impact of
the proposed development on environmentally sensitive areas, the increased traffic and
congestion and the lack of infrastructure particularly for road access and local schools to
support such a development. Mr. Ing also expressed concern with the negative impact on
the quality of life in the neighbourhood and the possible impact on property values.
Rose Sky
Ms. Sky spoke in favour of the application as the developer has lowered proposed density,
has allowed more space for neighbours and has preserved and donated other land for
wildlife.
Jim Osborne
Mr. Osborne expressed concern with the lots directly on Marc Road which runs below his
property and the extremely steep slope impacting the proposed lots. He asked whether City
staff has looked at the property and assessed the slopes and encouraged Planning and
Engineering staff to do so. Mr. Osborne felt it would be difficult to safely build houses on a
slope of this nature.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services provided clarification on the lots
impacted by slopes.
Mr. Osborne reiterated his request that City staff go on site to check slopes.
Rebecca Kozol
Ms. Kozol spoke in favour of the application however she expressed concern with
infrastructure, particularly the road and where water and sewer connections will be placed.
One of Ms. Kozol’s major concerns is the impact of the road on the driveway to her property
should the roadway be narrowed. She explained that the driveway to her property is very
steep and that the retention of turning space for vehicles pulling horse trailers is very
important. Ms. Kozol sympathized for residents concerned with conservation however she
indicated that as she has lived on her property for 43 years and recalled a time when the
Public Hearing Minutes
February 20, 2018
Page 4 of 8
Anderson Place subdivision was a space for wildlife. Her main concern is what will be done
with the infrastructure around the area.
Mike Leto
Mr. Leto spoke in favour of the application. He stated that he has been a homeowner in the
area for 18 years. He expressed that the developer has been very accommodating and felt
that the current proposal will have the least impact on residents along Marc Road. He
spoke to the issue of lack of city water along Marc Road and stated that he is looking
forward to City water and sewer. He sees the proposed application as a benefit not a
hindrance.
Gabriella Sacchetti
Ms. Sacchetti spoke in support of the development and is pleased with the current plan.
She is satisfied with the interaction between the developer and the residents. Ms. Sacchetti
is pleased with an existing access road being set aside for emergency access only however
she would like to see the access designated as park rather than road to ensure it remains
closed to all traffic other than emergency vehicles for the future.
Ryan Lucy, President of Morningstar
Mr. Lucy addressed concerns pertaining to the slope on Marc Road. He also provided
further information on tree retention and the provision of water and sewer for the older lots
along Marc Road.
Colin Downing
Mr. Downing spoke in favour of the application. He shared a story of a neighbour who runs
out of water and indicated there are several residences along Marc Road in need of City
water. He expressed appreciation with the time spent by the developer working with
neighbours.
The Mayor called for speakers for the second time.
David Ing
Mr. Ing stated he is not adverse to change however he feels that growth in the area needs to
be managed. He expressed concern that the proposed development is the cart in front of
the horse and that infrastructure should be built first. He stated that more access other
than 232 Street is needed for the area. Mr. Ing referred to a past incident of tree removal
by the developer and asked for an update from staff on what was done in response to
complaints.
The Manager of Development and Environmental Services provided clarification on the City’s
response to the tree clearing and on the resolution to the situation.
The Mayor called for speakers for the third time
There being no further comment, the Mayor declared this item dealt with.

PART 4, GENERAL REGULATIONS, SECTION 401 USES OF LAND, BUILDINGS AND
STRUCTURES, Subsection (3) Prohibited Uses of Land, Buildings and Structures is
amended as follows:
By inserting the following as item (h):
“(h) the retail sale of cannabis”
A bylaw to prohibit the retail sale of cannabis. The bylaw is an interim measure
intended to prevent business operations establishing in advance of the Federal and
Provincial regulations. Once the Provincial context is known, future zoning bylaw
amendments may be warranted.
The Corporate Officer advised that correspondence opposed to or expressing concern with
the application was received from Doug@shaw.ca
The Planner gave a PowerPoint presentation providing the following information:
• Application Information
• Jurisdictional Overview
• Next steps
• Terms and Conditions
The Mayor called for speakers for the first time
Keno Roy
Mr. Roy spoke in opposition to the proposed bylaw. He cited reasons to allow local
dispensaries distributing medical cannabis to remain open. He spoke to the need for
medical cannabis and expressed concern that the proposed zone amending bylaw is putting
unnecessary red tape around cannabis as medicine, which will harm vulnerable residents.
Michael Joinson, President and Founder of TAGGS Dispensary
Mr. Joinson advised that he represents 5000 patients. He expressed concern with the way
the Federal Government is legalizing cannabis, in particular with the lack of access to
edibles and the negative impacts of sending prepackaged cannabis through the mail. Mr.
Joinson provided information on how dispensaries for medical cannabis are run.

Janine Brooker
Ms. Brooker indicated that she does not have a vested interest in cannabis stores open in
Maple Ridge however she expressed concern that closing down shops that have been in
business for a number of years will negatively impact those who are sick and will force them
to look outside the community or go through the black market for the product. She spoke on
the medical benefits of cannabis and felt it irresponsible to close down existing shops. She
suggested giving exemptions to businesses which have been in the community for a number
of years.
Shane Escher - representative of Lotusland Cannabis Society
Mr. Escher provided information on the Lotusland Cannabis Society and advised on licensed
locations of the society throughout the Lower Mainland. He advised on reasons for the
society opening a dispensary in Maple Ridge and expressed concern with the methods by
which the opening of the facility was dealt with by City Bylaws staff. Mr. Escher feels that
dispensaries currently in Maple Ridge should be allowed to continue to operate.
Robert Davis – representative of Lotusland Cannabis Club, Dewdney Trunk Road
Mr. Davis provided background information on the Lotusland Cannabis Society and advised
on locations throughout the Lower Mainland. He cited that the society has not had any
police incidents in its 5 years history and referred to licenses in the Cities of Vancouver and
Victoria. Mr. Davis outlined reasons as to why Lotusland has opened in Maple Ridge and
expressed concern with methods used by the City of Maple Ridge Bylaws staff to deal with
the dispensary opened on Dewdney Trunk Road. He feels the store is being targeted
compared to other dispensaries which are not as visible. He requested that staff be
directed to treat the Lotusland location in the same manner as other dispensaries in Maple
Ridge.
Ken Wittenberg
Mr. Wittenberg spoke on his history with TAGGS dispensary and outlined the process
involved in working with his doctor to allow him to be able to purchase medical cannabis.
He expressed concern that he will have to go back to a compassion club in Vancouver for
medical cannabis as a result of the proposed bylaw and asked that existing medical
cannabis dispensaries such as TAGGS be allowed to remain.
Mark Napier
Mr. Napier spoke on his history with TAGGS, advised on his medical condition and the
license he has received to purchase medical cannabis to help him cope with severe pain.
Mr. Napier expressed concern with the Federal Government’s decision to supply only
cannabis to smoke rather than supporting edible cannabis. He expressed that the Supreme
Court has ruled on rights for edible medicinal cannabis which is provided by dispensaries
such TAGGS. He feels it ridiculous that the City of Maple Ridge be thinking of banning
medical cannabis dispensaries. He reiterated his concern with the Federal Government’s
approach to edible cannabis.

Gail Salconi
Ms. Salconi read from a written statement. She expressed concern that should retail sale of
cannabis be banned, users will be forced to buy from sources which are not reputable and
the product could be unsafe. She compared this to the environment and products provided
by medical dispensaries. She stated that as Maple Ridge is its own City, it should have its
own ideas as to how to regulate cannabis retail stores until July.
Dominique Nelson
Ms. Nelson stated she has worked at medical dispensaries for a number of years and feels
that a main issue is how to educate patients on using a product. She expressed concern
that taking away access to dispensary educated staff will hinder all patients.
The Mayor called for speakers for the second time.
Michael Joinson
Mr. Joinson advocated for patients in Maple Ridge who required local access to medical
cannabis, stating that 75% of patients coming to see him are from the city. He spoke to his
own medical history with medical cannabis and feels that the existing medical cannabis
clubs serve patients in a way which is better than pharmaceuticals.
Shane Escher
Mr. Shane Escher spoke on behalf of the Lotusland Cannabis Society. He stated that bylaws
have been complied with and requested that Council advise Maple Ridge Bylaws staff to
treat the Lotusland Cannabis dispensary in the same manner as existing dispensaries.
Gail Salconi
Ms. Salconi identified herself as a staff member at Lotusland and outlined issues she has
had with Bylaws officers.
Dominic Nelson
Ms. Nelson identified herself as the manager of all Lotusland dispensaries. She reiterated
her statement on the importance of education of staff on the uses for medical cannabis.
The Mayor called for speakers for the third time.
Michael Joinson
Mr. Joinson advised that all patients and members of TAGGS come from a doctor with
doctor’s documentation. He also advised that product is not provided to persons based
solely on a driver’s license showing they are over 19.
Shane Escher
Mr. Escher stated that Lotusland is a member’s only club and requires documentation as
well as appropriate ID. He reiterated his concerns with enforcement by Bylaws staff. He
asked why enforcement action is not being taken at the tent city and feels there are many
drug problems in the City of Maple Ridge which are not being addressed.

Willow Lapointe
Ms. Lapointe identified herself as a volunteer at the Hammond Compassion Society. She
advised that compassion societies help to educate the public on the use of cannabis for
health issues as well as teach people how to use the product to help stop opioid use. She
spoke on the types of persons coming into the club and how difficult it will be for these
patients to go into Vancouver.
Brenda Eilee
Ms. Eilee expressed concern that persons currently working at existing medical cannabis will
lose their jobs.
There being no further comment, the Mayor declared this item dealt with.

pedestrian access to the sidewalk along Lougheed Highway. A narrow band of bio-swales and bio-
filtration ponds, integrated with site landscaping, will run north -south behind the western
townhouses. About five (5) visitor parking spaces and a central mail kiosk are proposed. Vehicle
access will be right turn in and right turn out on Lougheed Highway.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Off icial
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:
For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required to reflect ground-truthing for the
Conservation designation boundary. The existing Urban Residential designation accommodates the
proposed development and the proposed RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential) zoning.
Policy 3-18 in the OCP categorises residential development as having either Neighhourhood
Residential Character or Major Corridor Residential Character. This site is located on Lougheed
Highway, which is a Major Transportation Corridor. Consequently, the project’s chara cter is subject to
the latter of the two categories in accordance with Policies 3-19, 3-20 and 3-21 respecting Major
Corridor Residential Infill. The main applicable aspects of these policies include:
Neighbourhood Residential infill must be designed to be compatible with the surrounding
neighbourhood
The subject site abuts an older townhouse development to the south and across Lougheed
Highway. Also across Lougheed Highway and to the northeast a single residential subdivision
by Polygon / Morningstar (2015-0269-RZ) at the rezoning stage. Across a ravine and creek
system to the west is the southern portion of the Polygon site, where additional townhousing
and a small commercial mixed use building is proposed.
Among the criteria are:
A maximum height of two and one-half storeys with an emphasis on ground oriented
units – Though still in the conceptual stage, the units will be ground oriented and be
either 2 ½ or 3 storeys in height.
Compatibility between building massing and the type of dwelling units in the proposed
development and the surrounding residential properties - The proposed use of the
subject site, though somewhat isolated by the ravine and Lougheed Highway, is
contextually compatible with the surrounding existing or proposed uses.
Street orientation – The units on Lougheed Highway will be required to have a front yard
and pedestrian access from each townhouse to the sidewalk along Lougheed Highway.
This would be similar to the design of the closest RM-4 zoned development along the
- 4 -
Lougheed Highway but addressed off Telosky Avenue (22865 Telosky Avenue) located a
short distance to the north and across from Telosky Stadium. Compliance with the
criteria will be secured through Development Permit approval later in the application
review process.
Retention and preservation of significant trees, other natural vegetation, and
environmental features – This criteria is being achieved through: trees being retained in
the ravine being dedicated for conservation, the way the townhouse buildings closest to
the ravine are proposed to be arranged and the bio-filtration area proposed to be located
as a buffer between the townhouse buildings and conservation area.
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 $131,300 is required for this project before final reading.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 23084 and 23100 Lougheed
Highway from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential) to permit
approximately 32 townhouses. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will
require a Development Variance Permit application.
The subject site is constrained by the steep slope and watercourse along the western part of the
subject site. Though further details will be required to more fully assess this project, the developer
has responded by:
The RM-1 townhouse zone allows a density (FSR) of 0.6, which does not work due to site
constraints for this project. The two options are: (1) to proceed with the RM-1 Zone with a
bonus density to achieve a 0.75 FSR; or (2) to proceed with the RM-4 Zone which allows a
density 0.75. To achieve a more focused and compact development, the higher density was
deemed justified and proceeding under the RM-4 Zone simplifies the process. This approach
would be consistent with the existing zoning of a property further north facing Lougheed
Highway and addressed off Telosky Avenue (22865 Telosky Avenue).
In February, Council directed staff to explore density bonusing as a means of exceeding
density in exchanged for affordable, rental or seniors housing or cash in lieu.
The project can be deemed to constitute an increase in density of 0.15 FSR over the typical
townhouse zoning. As per OCP Policy 3.30, Council may desire that this be treated as a
bonus density situation, thus requiring the applicant to voluntarily incorporate affordable,
rental or seniors housing and/or to make a cash in-lieu contribution similar to the Albion
approach. In Albion, if the RM-1 Zone 0.60 FSR is exceeded to achieve a maximum of a 0.75
FSR, an amenity contribution of $3,100 per unit applies. The proposed density on the
subject site mirrors the Albion density bonus zoning regulation.
Achieving the typical 30%/70% ratio of side-by-side to tandem parking, but without the usual
driveway apron between the garage and the drive aisle. The triangular shape of the
development site and the difficult environmental constraints posed by the site are the main
reasons for prompting this exception. Council is requested to indicate their desire about
whether or not the proposed apron exception is acceptable.
- 5 -
In addition, the applicant will be seeking variances for height and setbacks as follows:
Setback variances are being proposed, in part to safeguard tree or root systems and
accommodate geotechnical requirements. The variances tentatively include: yet unspecified
front relaxations, units closest to the future west lot line from 7.5 to a combination of 6.0,
1.6 and 1.5 depending on the proximity of the units to the western bio-wale.
A height variance is being proposed to allow the main floor to have a 10 foot ceiling height.
The variance is to increase the maximum permitted building height from 11.0 metres to 11.7
metres.
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 design is to incorporate elevations facing Lougheed Highway that create an attractive
streetscape and front yards with strong pedestrian environments for each townhouse. The
development permit landscaping plan is to integrate the proposed storm water management plan.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an area
designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver Valley Area
Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
The Watercourse Protection and the Natural Features Development Permit will be issued as a single
permit.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to Second Reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this applicati on. Prior to Second Reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7420-2018
11575, 11587 223 Street and 22300 River Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at 11575 and 11587 223
Street and PID 011-537-141 (22300 River Road), from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2
(Medium Density Apartment Residential) to allow future construction of a five storey residential
building with approximately 36 units. The current application would typically require a height
variance to the RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment) zone to allow five storey’s; however, at the
February 6, 2018 Council Workshop, the report titled ‘Rental Housing Program: Rental Options for
New Development’ was considered and Council directed staff to explore density bonusing in
exchange for secured rental units, affordable rental units, and or a cash-in lieu contribution. The
property located at 22300 River Road is currently owned by the City; however, once rezoning has
occured, the developer will purchase the City property to be included as part of the development. To
proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below.
As per Council Policy 6.31, which was updated December 12, 2017 to remove the Community
Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program exemption for properties situated within the Town Centre Area
Plan boundaries, a CAC charge of approximately $111,600.00 applies to this proposed development
($3,100 per unit for apartment dwellings).
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7420-2018 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.

b) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties, located at 11575 and 11587 223 Street and 22300 River Road, are located
south of 116 Avenue, west of 223 Street and north of River Road. Consolidation of the subject
properties will be a condition of final reading and combined the three lots have a total area of 2,262
m² (0.56 acres). The lots located at 11575 and 11587 223 Street both have existing structures that
will require removal as part of rezoning conditions, while the lot located at 22300 River Road is
currently vacant. The development site’s elevation descends from north to south towards the Fraser
River; however, most of the transition occurs on slopes on the northern and southern sections of the
site. The central section of the development site is relatively flat. There are trees located around the
perimeter of all three properties, as well as lawn and shrubs located throughout the remainder of the
development site. There are a row of three heritage houses adjacent to the subject property on the
north side of 116 Avenue and the Port Haney West Coast Express Station is located across the street
on the south side of River Road.
- 3 -
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment) to permit the construction of a five storey
apartment building consisting of 36 units. The proposed building will consist of a concrete base and
wood frame construction with a mix of one, two and three bedroom units. Residential parking will be
located underground and will be accessed from 223 Street with visitor parking located at grade. The
main pedestrian entrance, loading area and some on-street parking is proposed along 223 Street.
Due to grade changes sloping north to south, the building will appear to be a four storey apartment
from 116 Avenue and a five storey apartment from River Road. The top floor will be recessed to
provide a visual break in the massing, further allowing for larger open space and patio areas for top
floor units.
The property located at 22300 River Road is currently owned by the City; however, once rezoning has
occured, the developer will purchase the City property to be included as part of the development. The
City property is 677 m² in size and on its own has little development potential, due to the amount of
dedication required to achieve current road standards. Council will be consulted on the appraisal of
the City-owned property and will be required to authorize the sale.
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 Port Haney and Waterfront Precinct of the Town Centre
Area Plan. This precinct is an important transportation link between the Central Business District, the
Fraser River Waterfront, the West Coast Express Station and east Maple Ridge via the Haney Bypass.
Port Haney’s historic roots, heritage character, waterfront access, green space, and river and
mountain views are a treasured part of the precinct that should be enhanced through any new
development.
The subject property is designated as Low-Rise Apartment, and stated in Policy 3-22: “is intended for
developmet in a three (3) to five (5) storey apartment form where units are accessed from an
internal corrideor and residential parking is provided underground.” An OCP amendment is not
required to support the proposed project.
The following policies apply to this proposal:
Town Centre Area Plan
3-1 An increase in residential and commercial density is encouraged in the Town Centre […]
Land-use should include a mix of housing types catering to various demographics, including
affordable and special needs housing, within walking distance to a broad mixture of uses,
including shops, services, cultural facilities, and recreation.
- 4 -
This project increases the residential density by introducing up to thirty-six (36) units, including four
(4) one-bedroom units, twenty (20) two-bedroom units and twelve (12) three-bedroom units. The
subject site is located within walking distance to a range of shops, services, the Westcoast Express
and the Fraser River Waterfront.
3-11 Viewscape studies may be required for proposed buildings greater than three (3)
storeys in height, where views may be impacted […] to the Fraser River to the south.
Important viewscapes have been identified along 224 Street, within Port Haney, and the
south slopes of the Town Centre on 116th and on 227th. In locations where it is deemed that
key viewscapes will be impacted, an increase in density, or the proposed form, may not be
supported.
This project’s five storey height, in addition to the development site’s moderate slope, will affect
viewscapes south to the Fraser River. The applicant will be asked to provide a viewscape study for
the properties located north of the subject site.
3-12 High density development that is four or more storeys in height may be required to
include a shadow study in consideration of adjacent sites to address potential impacts on
available daylight.
This project will potentially have shadow impacts on the adjacent properties to the north and east of
the site. The applicant will be asked to provide a shadow study.
3-13 Maple Ridge encourages noise and vibration abatement measures for all buildings
within 75 metres of the nearest railway track […]
The applicant will be required to assess the noise and vibration levels at the site and provide
recommendations for design measures to mitigate levels to acceptable standards recommended by
the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Guidelines.
In addition to these policies, a range of environmentally sustainable policies in the Town Centre Area
Plan would also apply to this application:
2-5 Incorporating Rainwater Management practices into on-site and off-site development will
be encouraged […]. Some examples of Rainwater Management practices include:
bioretention areas;
rainwater gardens;
bioswales;
landscaped curb bulges on street right-of-ways;
rainwater harvest for irrigation; and
green roofs.
2-9 The use of plant and tree species that are suited for Maple Ridge climate and that will
attract local songbirds and pollinating insects species […] will be encouraged in public and
private development;
2-10 Landscaping, as described in policy 2-9 above, will be encouraged in all public and
private outdoor spaces in the Town Centre. For areas with a large amount of paved surfaces,
such as surface parking lots and public plazas, the installation of trees, rain gardens, raised
planters, and/or living green walls, where feasible, is encouraged to provide some areas of
refuge for wildlife, such as small birds, rainwater interception, cooling in summer months,
- 5 -
reduced glare from pavement, carbon sequestration, and a more attractive urban
environment.
The applicant will be required to provide some of these measures as part of the development.
Housing Action Plan:
The City’s Housing Action Plan (HAP) was endorsed by Council in 2014. It seeks to increase access
to “safe, affordable, and appropriate housing that meets the diverse and changing needs of the
community”. 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. The subject application does provide a mix of unit
size, including one (1), two (2), and three (3) bedroom units; however, the applicant has indicated
they are not interested in providing any dedicated rental, affordable, or special needs housing.
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 $3,100 per
apartment unit, totalling $111,600, is required for this project before final reading.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at 11575 and 11587 223
Street and 22300 River Road from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment) to permit the construction of a five storey apartment building. The current application
would typically require a height variance to the RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment) zone to allow five
storey’s (currently only four storey’s permitted). However, at the February 6, 2018 Council Workshop,
the report titled ‘Rental Housing Program: Rental Options for New Development’ was considered and
Council directed staff to explore density bonusing in exchange for secured rental units, affordable
rental units, and or a cash-in lieu contribution. Cash-in-lieu, for the subject application, could be
allocated to a reserve fund. Council is requested to indicate if the subject application would meet
the criteria set out in the above mentioned Council Workshop report for density bonusing, in the form
of a fifth storey, or whether the Development Variance Permit process will suffice for the extra storey.
Reductions to setbacks are also being requested and will be evaluated in the context of the Port
Haney and Waterfront Precinct Development Permit Guidelines. Any variations from the
requirements of the proposed zone will be detailed in the second reading report and require a
Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit for the Port Haney and
Waterfront Precinct is required for this development.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Town Centre Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to second reading.
- 6 -
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) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and
h) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
2. A Town Centre Development Permit Application (Schedule D); and
3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E);
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
- 7 -
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.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7436-2018;
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7316-2017
22368 North Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 22368 North Avenue,
from RM-3 (High Density Apartment Residential) to C-3 (Town Centre Commercial). This application is
to permit the construction of a four storey mixed-use building, which will serve as the new head
office of the Ridge Meadows Community Living Foundation (the Foundation). It will contain 907 m2
(9,762 sf) of gross floor area of commercial and office space over the first three storeys and six
rental apartment units with 345 m2 (3,721 sf) of gross floor area on the fourth floor. The Foundation
provides programs and services for over 600 children and adults with developmental disabilities in
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
This application also requires an amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP) to re-designate
the land use from Low-Rise Apartment to Town Centre Commercial to permit the mixed-use building.
Council considered the early consultation requirements for the OCP amendment on April 25, 2017,
and granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7316-2017 at the same meeting.
This application is exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31, as it
is mainly for a commercial development with six affordable rental units. The applicant is willing to
enter into a Housing Agreement to secure the six affordable rental apartment units in perpetuity for
persons with developmental disabilities, a condition of exemption from the CAC policy. A separate
staff report to adopt a Housing Agreement Bylaw 7443-2018 will come to Council at a future date.
The applicant will be requesting variances, among other items, to relax the parking requirement for
this project by 11 parking stalls, more small car spaces than usual, and no handicapped parking
because the subject project is small and constrained. The Foundation has demonstrated that the
proposed parking is sufficient to meet its staff and tenant needs. Furthermore, the Foundation is a
non-profit organization providing special needs programming, services and housing in the
community, reasons for which Planning staff are supportive of these variances.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That, in accordance with Section 475 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and
on-going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending
Bylaw No. 7436-2018 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a
Development Information Meeting (DIM), and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any
further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw;
1103
- 2 -
2) That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7436-2018 be considered in conjunction with
the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
3) That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7436-2018 is consistent
with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
4) That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7436-2018 be given first and second
readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
5) That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7316-2017 as amended be given second reading, and be
forwarded to Public Hearing;
6) That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i) Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of
the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement;
ii) Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure;
iii) Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedule “A”, Chapter 10.4 Town Centre Area Plan,
Schedule 1 – Town Centre Area Land-Use Designation Map;
iv) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management;
v) Registration of a Housing Agreement in accordance with Section 483 of the Local
Government Act and a Section 219 Restrictive Covenant stating that the six residential
units will be affordable, rental units for persons with development disabilities in perpetuity.

2) Project Description:
The subject property, located at 22368 North Avenue, is a rectangular shaped lot with street
frontages on North Avenue and 117 Avenue. The lot slopes gently from the northeast to the
southwest corner. The lot is almost entirely paved for use as a parking lot and is currently vacant.
There are no trees on the lot, although a row of mature trees borders the edge of the adjacent
property to the east (see Appendices A and B).
The proposal is for a four storey mixed-use building with 1,252 m2 (13,483 sf) of gross floor area.
The building will serve as the new head office of the Ridge Meadows Community Living Foundation
(the Foundation). The ground floor is to be used for flexible training, gallery or commercial space with
at grade parking behind the building. The second and third floors are office space for the
Foundation. Six rental apartment units are located on the fourth floor to house clients of the
Foundation. One of the units will be designed as adaptable for persons with mobility impairments.
Off-street parking is located at ground level partially underneath and behind the building, and
accessed from 117 Avenue. The landscaping on the site is confined to small screening bands along
the western and eastern edges of the parking lot, as well as in planters on the second floor and third
floor decks.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The property is located within the South of Lougheed (SOLO) Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan.
The SOLO precinct supports, among other uses, mixed-use commercial and higher density residential
development within its boundaries. The subject property is also located adjacent to the Central
Business District and within walking distance to a wide range of shopping and services, as well as to
bus routes and the West Coast Express.
- 4 -
The subject property is located within the Town Centre Area Plan and is currently designated Low
Rise Apartment. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to re-designate
the site to Town Centre Commercial to allow the proposed C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zoning and
mixed-use building (see Appendix C).
The re-designation to Town Centre Commercial is supportable because the mixed-used building will
be going into an area with existing and future commercial and mixed-use development. It is bordered
by commercial uses to the north (e.g. shops and services along Lougheed Highway) and east (e.g.
Haney Professional Building), as well as some proposed mixed-use development occurring within the
Port Haney area to the south. Furthermore, conformance with the Town Centre Area Plan Policies
below provide further support for the re-designation of the subject property to Town Centre
Commercial.
Town Centre Area Plan Policies
3-1 An increase in residential and commercial density is encouraged in the Town Centre,
particularly within the Central Business District… Land-use should include a mix of housing
types catering to various demographics, including affordable and special needs housing,
within walking distance to a broad mixture of uses, including shops, services, cultural
facilities, and recreation.
This project includes a mix of commercial office space and residential uses, and includes affordable,
special needs housing. It is located within walking distance to a range of shops, services, and transit
in and around the Central Business District.
3-2 Office use will be encouraged, particularly over ground level units in a mixed-use
development, within and around the Central Business District.
This project has two levels of office space for the use of the Foundation and other associated service
organizations.
3-7 To ensure a wide range of housing needs are accommodated within the Town Centre
Area, Maple Ridge will work with other areas of government and housing agencies to
encourage and support development that provides:
a. for those with special housing needs due to income, age, or disability, as an
appropriate share of the Town Centre’s housing stock;
b. special needs housing incorporated within the Town Centre community and located
close to public transit, shopping and services, and parks and recreation.
This project will serve as the head office for the administrative and programmatic functions of the
Foundation, which serve special needs children and adults with developmental disabilities in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows. The apartment units would be rented out by the Foundation to their clients
with special needs.
3-31 Within a Mixed-Use development, retail, service, and entertainment uses shall be
encouraged at ground level with office and/or residential uses encouraged above-grade.
This mixed-use project conforms with the intent of this policy, and the property is surrounded by
commercial uses to the north and east, and some proposed mixed-use development in the Port
Haney Area to the south.
- 5 -
Therefore, this project and OCP re-designation are supportable, as they will facilitate mixed-use and
office use in the Town Centre in close proximity to transit and services. The building will provide
space for programs, services and housing for special needs individuals in the community.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RM-3 (High Density Apartment
Residential) to C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to permit a four storey mixed use building (see
Appendix D). The project conforms with the requirements of the proposed C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) zone with the exception of several variances to parking and building setbacks which are
detailed below.
First reading was granted to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7316-2017 on April 25, 2017. The Zone
Amending Bylaw has been amended in this report to correct a minor spelling mistake in the bylaw
that was given first reading.
The minimum lot size for the current RM-3 (High Density Apartment Residential) zone is 1,300 m2
(13,993 sf) while the minimum lot size for the proposed C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone is 186
m2 (2,002 sf).
iii) Community Amenity Contribution Policy:
This application is exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31,
because the applicant is willing to enter into a Housing Agreement to secure the six special needs,
rental apartment units, a condition of exemption from the CAC policy. Furthermore, commercial
development is exempt from the CAC Program.
iv) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
The subject property is located adjacent to, but just outside of, the Central Business District (Off-
Street Parking Bylaw 4350 – 1990, Schedule D), where reduced parking requirements apply.
Therefore, the usual requirements of the Off-Street Parking Bylaw, Schedule A, apply to the current
application. The table below summarizes the vehicle parking space requirements versus what is
provided in this project:
Required Parking Spaces Provided Parking Spaces
Apartment use 8 None
Office and commercial use 23 20
Allowed small car 3 20 – all small car
Handicapped 1 None
Therefore, the project has 11 fewer parking spaces than required, 17 more “small car” parking stalls
than allowed, and no accessible parking space for persons with disabilities.
The applicant has provided justification to support the relaxation of parking requirements. No
parking spaces are required for the apartment units because it is expected that tenants will not be
able to drive. Visitor parking can be accommodated off-street outside of business hours, and on-
street otherwise. The Foundation has also tracked their parking requirements for their staff, and
confirmed that 20 small car stalls are sufficient to meet their needs. They estimate the average
- 6 -
number of parking stalls occupied was 16 per day, with a current maximum of up to 19. The
Foundation has asked that the accessible parking space requirement for persons with disabilities be
waived because providing the larger space on the development site would further reduce the
number of off-street spaces. The applicant suggests that handicapped pick-up and drop-off can be
accommodated on the curbside in front of the building, or in the parking lot, both during and after
business hours.
These parking variances, and other variances, will be the subject of a future report to Council.
However, if Council prefers, the Off-Street Parking Bylaw has a provision (Part 3, 3.4 (a)) that allows
payment of cash-in-lieu of parking spaces, which would equal approximately $85,500 for this project.
Staff are supportive of the variance option because the Foundation is a non-profit organization
providing special needs programming, services and housing in the community.
The project provides four short-term and two long-term bicycle parking spaces for the
office/commercial spaces in accordance with the Off-Street Parking Bylaw. Bicycle parking for the
rental apartments can be accommodated within the unit if necessary.
v) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following relaxations to the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone (see Appendix E):
Relaxation of the front yard setback requirement of 7.5 m (24.6 ft) above the second storey
to 1.959 m (6.4 ft);
Relaxation of the side yard setback requirement above the third storey of 4.5 m (14.8 ft) to 0
m;
Reduction in the number of parking spaces from 31 to 23 spaces (see previous discussion);
Allowance of 17 more small car parking spaces (see previous discussion); and
Elimination of the requirement for an accessible parking for persons with disabilities (see
previous discussion).
Staff are supportive of these variances because of the mandate of the Foundation and the role they
play in the community. The requested variances to the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone will be
the subject of a future Council report.
vi) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit application for the SOLO
Precinct is required for all multifamily residential, flexible mixed use and commercial development
located in the Town Centre. The Development Permit will be the subject of a future Council report.
vii) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and
the landscaping plans at a meeting held on November 15, 2017 (see Appendices E, F and G)
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the
following resolution:
That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design
develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
- 7 -
Landscape Comments:
1. Provide a fence/guardrail on West elevation;
2. Provide taller evergreen shrub and screen to block vehicle headlights from light
pollution to neighbours on West side;
3. Show sections on the property through the parking lot;
4. Show the landscape treatment to the south of the garbage enclosure;
5. Revise the design of the garbage enclosure to incorporate architectural features of
the building (ie: colour, materials, etc);
Architectural Comments:
6. Treatment of fire wall as presented is acceptable;
7. Encouraged to provide a wayfinding means to assist people with disabilities;
8. Improve the expression of type of construction as shown in the rendering and
explanations;
9. Provide guardrail at drops of more than 600 mm;
10. Design of guardrails higher than 600 mm (2 ft) to be submitted for review of the
colour and safety;
11. Consider extending blue horizontal member at 90 degrees on both sides of the
building;
12. Consider the corner recess areas to be coloured orange as elsewhere on the façade;
13. Consider using machine-room-less elevator;
14. Indicate on plans the location of the roof access;
15. In the event that there is roof equipment, details should be provided as to its location
and how it will be screened from neighbours, streets and overview.
Furthermore, the ADP encouraged the applicant to provide at least one adaptive unit as defined by
the BC Building Code. The applicant has provided one adaptive unit as requested.
The ADP suggestions, comments and concerns have been addressed by the applicant where
applicable and are reflected in the current plans. A detailed description of how these items were
incorporated into the final design will be included in a future Development Permit report to Council.
viii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting (DIM) was held in the library of the Eric Langton Elementary
School on December 7, 2017. Four individuals attended the meeting. A summary of the main
comments and discussions with the attendees, as well as responses by the applicant, are provided
below:
Zero Lot Line: The property owner immediately to the west of the development site expressed
concern that he may not also be permitted to build to a zero lot line on his property if he chooses to
develop his site in the future;
Response: Future applications for rezoning or development along the street will be considered based
on the proposed zone and merits of the application. It is premature to determine at this stage what
can be supported.
Accessibility: An attendee requested both through a written letter and comments at the DIM that the
building be built in compliance with the BC Human Rights Code, specifically with regards to
accessibility;
- 8 -
Response: This project will be built in compliance with the BC Building Code, which takes
accessibility issues into consideration. As a non-profit organization focused on serving individuals
with developmental disabilities such as Autism, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy, the Foundation
shares the stated concerns about accessibly for their clients and is keenly aware of their accessibility
needs. There is no desire to construct a building that is not suitable for their clients.
More Affordable Housing: An attendee felt that the building should be much larger and higher so as
to provide far more residential units for individuals with developmental disabilities;
Response: There are several reasons why the building is not larger:
The Foundation does not wish to create one building where all of their clients live together
and be segregated from the rest of the community. It is a healthier practice to create small
housing clusters throughout the City which allow their clients to live in the community;
Creating more residential units would require an even greater parking variance as there is no
more room on this small urban lot;
Finding housing for their clients is not the primary goal of this application. Rather, the
primary purpose of the building is to house the Foundation’s new head office. The six
proposed residential units are secondary to the primary purpose of the building;
The Foundation does not currently have the staffing necessary to support a taller building,
nor do they wish to expand to be able to do so; and,
The Foundation, as a non-profit organization with a modest budget, cannot afford at this time
to make the building any larger.
Hydro Pole: An attendee expressed concern about the proximity of the hydro pole on North Avenue
to the building;
Response: The building has been designed to step back, away from the existing hydro pole and will
be in compliance with BC Hydro’s clearance requirements.
Parking: All attendees expressed concern over the relaxation of parking for the six residential units.
Furthermore:
It was noted that it can be very difficult to find street parking on 224 Street, presumably due
to employees of the nearby bank and medical buildings and users of the West Coast Express
Train parking on 224 Street during the workday;
An attendee requested that the project include an additional eight handicapped parking
stalls;
Response: The users of the residential units cannot obtain a driver’s licence and therefore will not
have a need for a parking space; Nine of the twenty onsite parking stalls are located outside the
enclosed portion of the parkade. As such, they will be available for the use of guests and visitors to
the residential area during evenings, weekends, and holidays. As most, if not all, of the residents will
have jobs during regular working hours, it’s reasonable to expect that thei r guests will only need off-
street visitor parking on evenings, weekends, and holidays. Furthermore, as there is a sufficient
amount of off-street parking available for guests of the residential units at these times, any on-street
parking required will be minimal, if any at all.
Request Project Moratorium: An attendee requested a moratorium on this development until the
accessibility concerns are addressed and more housing units are provided.
- 9 -
Response: The Foundation is currently renting the building that houses their head office and each
month that this development is delayed adds a significant cost to them. They do not wish to see a
moratorium placed on the application. Requesting a moratorium on this project is also not consistent
with the rezoning process.
ix) Environmental Comments
The applicant has proposed a stormwater management plan for the site which is integrated with the
landscaping on site. This plan must be registered as a restrictive covenant on title as a condition of
final approval.
While there are no trees on the development site, a row of six mature ash trees sits on the adjacent
property to the east. Due to the zero setback to the side, a best level of effort must be made by the
applicant to retain these trees. Furthermore, the Foundation has entered into a private agreement
with the neighbouring property owner to replace any tree that may not survive building construction.
A proposal to plant trees on the development site has been submitted and accepted in accordance
with the Tree Protection and Management Bylaw requirements.
4) Traffic Impact:
As the subject property is located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, a referral has been
sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Ministry approval of the Zone Amending
Bylaw will be required as a condition of final reading. At this time, the Ministry has granted
preliminary approval of this development application.
5) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
Comments provided by the Engineering Department pertain to required servicing upgrades and road
dedication. The conditions set out by the Engineering Department will be included as part of the
Rezoning Servicing Agreement, stated as a condition of final approval, or will be addressed during
the construction phase by the Building Department.
ii) Building Department:
The Building Department has conducted a preliminary review of plans submitted as part of this
rezoning and Development Permit applications and provided comments to the applicant. Comments,
where applicable have been addressed in the current plans, or will be addressed as part of detailed
plans to be received at the Building Permit stage. There are no outstanding or unresolved issues
flagged at this time.
iii) Fire Department:
The Fire Department has reviewed the project. They outlined the typical details that are addressed at
the Building Permit stage, including the requirements for a construction fire safety plan, alarms, site
access requirements, sprinkler requirements, and address visibility. The matters identified do not
affect the proposed siting or the form and character of the project.
- 10 -
6) School District No. 42 Comments:
Pursuant to Section 476 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is
required at the time of preparing or amending the OCP. A referral was sent to School District No. 42
on August 17, 2017. The School District provided the comments below on the capacity of local
schools:
The development site and proposed OCP amendment may affect the student population and
catchment areas currently served by Eric Langton Elementary School and Maple Ridge
Secondary School. In the 2016-2017 year, Eric Langton Elementary had 419 students (103%
utilization), while Maple Ridge Secondary had 1317 students (101%) of utilization.
7) Intergovernmental Issues:
i) Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to
adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 477 of the Local
Government Act. The OCP amendment required for this application is considered to be minor in
nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is
required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent
municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial
Governments.
The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste
Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact.
CONCLUSION:
The current application requires an OCP amendment to re-designate the subject property as Town
Centre Commercial in the Town Centre Area Plan. Justification has been provided to support the
OCP amendment, as well as rezoning of the subject property to C-3, in order to permit the
development of a four storey mixed-use building. The proposed building will serve as the new head
office of the Ridge Meadows Community Living Foundation, and also provide six affordable, rental
apartments in perpetuity for persons with developmental disabilities. A Housing Agreement Bylaw to
secure these rental units will be forthcoming in a future report to Council.
To support this application, variances to the parking requirements of the proposed C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) zone will also be required to permit this development. A decision on these variances will
be made when a future Development Variance Permit report comes before Council prior to final
approval of this rezoning application. However, Council may provide comment or feedback at this
time regarding the requested variances.
- 11 -
Therefore, it is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No.
7436-2018, that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7316-2017 as amended,
and that application 2017-078-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

b) Project Description:
The subject property is located in the Academy Park neighbourhood at 24240-125th Avenue. The
subject property is under a rezoning application 2016-066-RZ to rezone the subject property from
RS-3 ( One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and the Rezoning
Bylaw 7239-2016 is being, considered for final reading at the March 13, 2018 Council Meeting.
Most of the site is relatively flat and the western third slopes down to the west as part of a natural
north-south feature stretching northward through Academy Park. The subject property is located
within a mix of RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
zoned land with Single Family Residential homes (see Appendix A and B). The applicant is proposing
to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family
Suburban Residential), to permit the subdivision of two RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) lots,
not less than 0.40 ha (1 acre).
c) Variance Analysis:
The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw 3510-1985 and Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services
Bylaw 4800-1993 establish general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development and engineering standards, respectively. A Development Variance Permit allows
Council some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below (see Appendices C):
1. Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule C –
Required Right-of-Way Widths: To reduce the through Local Street, Rural Standard, Right-of-
Way Width from Minimum Width of 20m (65.62 ft.) to 15.0m (49.21 ft.).
The existing road width of 125th Avenue is 15m (49.21 ft.) that has been determined to be
sufficient for the Rural Road designation and uses; therefore, the proposed variance to
- 3 -
maintain the existing width can be supported. This variance request has been common to
many subdivision requests in the past, in the Academy Park area.
2. Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule D–
Standard Drawings and Specifications: To reduce the constructed asphalt width of a Rural
Local Road from 7.0m (22.96 ft.) to 6.2m (20.34 ft.).
The existing asphalt width of 125th Avenue is 6.2m (20.34 ft.) and it has been determined to be
sufficient for the Rural Street designation and uses; therefore, the proposed variance to maintain the
existing asphalt width can be supported. This variance request has been common to many
subdivision requests in the past in the Academy Park area.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances to reduce the constructed asphalt width of a Rural Local Road from 7.0m
(22.96 ft.) to 6.2m (20.34 ft.) and reduce the Rural Local Road Right-of-Way Width from Minimum
Width of 20m (65.62 ft.) to 15.0m (49.21 ft.).can be supported for the reasons described above. It is
therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be
authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-066-DVP.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Town Centre Development Permit and Development Variance Permit applications have been
received for the subject property located at 11865 – 227th Street, to permit the construction of
Phase 3 of a Four Phased mixed use residential/commercial development located within the Town
Centre. The proposal will contain 44 residential units and 1,015m2 (10,925 ft.2) of commercial
space which is permitted under the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone. This application is subject
to the Town Centre Development Permit – Civic Core Guidelines as outlined in the Town Centre Area
Plan of the Official Community Plan (OCP).
The applicant is seeking the following variances to accommodate the building design as required
with the earlier phases:
To reduce the front yard setback from 7.5m to 1.1m where the building is used for
apartment use above the second storey, with no further siting exceptions;
To reduce the rear yard setback from 6.0m to 0.0m and where the building is used for
apartment use above the second storey, the distance from rear lot lines above the second
storey shll be not less than 7.5m to 0.0m, with no further siting exceptions;
To reduce the interior side yard setback from 4.5m to 0.0m above the third storey, with no
further siting exceptions;
To reduce the exterior side yard setback above the third from 4.5m to 2.0m, with no further
siting exceptions.
The applicant is also seeking variances to the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990
as follows:
1.Section, 4.1 (a) (iv) is proposed to be varied to allow tandem parking in the C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) zone which may have obstructed access where the primary parking space is a
an intervening parking space. This development exceeds the required number of parking
spaces and these tandem stalls are in excess of the minimum requirement. Each tandem
parking stalls will be allocated to a single residential unit via a restrictive covenant; therefore,
6 of the residential units will have 2 parking spaces via a tandem configuration. The
proposal requires 53 residential parking stalls and 60 parking stalls including the 6 tandem

b) Project Description:
The subject property under application is part of a four phased development project which includes a
total of four mixed-use (residential/commercial) buildings varying in height from five to six storeys,
arranged in a quadrangle style with an inner courtyard.
- 3 -
The phase one building is currently under construction and phases 2 and 4 have been issued
Development Permits. The subject property under application is zoned C-3 (Town Centre
Commercial) which permits the proposed mixed commercial/multi-family development.
The form and character of the development will continue the building material, form, massing, style,
and colour scheme from the existing buildings on 226th Street, with some variation in material and
colour to maintain visual interest.
The comprehensive development plan includes an underground parkade spanning the balance of
the city block that will serve the other phases of the development. The development includes a ramp
to the underground parking structure will be accessed from the internal lands, similar to Phase One,
which is under construction.
Both the Town Centre Area Plan guiding principles and design guidelines speak to new a
development that creates a pedestrian-friendly design and enhanced public spaces that ensure an
attractive, distinctive and vibrant centre. In Phases 2 and 4, the developer has incorporated a
central public plaza integrated with some surface parking within the center of the block that provides
landscaped green spaces, public art, seating areas, water features and routed for non-motorized
transportation (emergency vehicles access is permitted). Additionally, the pedestrian realm also
extends around the perimeter onto 227th Street and Selkirk Avenue. Canopies and arcades will be
providing weather protection along 227th Street and Selkirk Avenue.
c) Planning Analysis:
This Development Permit applications made to the City prompted referral to the Advisory Design
Panel (ADP). The development is subject to the Key Guidelines and the Design Guidelines of Section
8.11 Town Centre Development Permit.
Key Guidelines
1. Promote the Civic Core as the “heart” of the Town Centre.
The subject development is part of a larger multi-phased re-development that will revitalize the
largely vacant city block between the Town Centre’s two main malls, Haney Place and Valley Fair.
The building has been designed to foster a vibrant urban environment by providing a sensitive design
to both street frontages, as well as an access to a future central gathering space being provided in
Phase 2 and 4, that will accommodate a range of activities for the public.
2. Create a pedestrian-oriented, boutique style shopping district.
Ground Floor Commercial units located adjacent to Selkirk Avenue and 227th Street are covered with
an arcade that provides a welcoming and inviting space for pedestrians. The arcade component of
the building is in keeping with the existing buildings along 226th Street and the recently approved
Phases 2 and 4, as well as, Phase 1 that is under construction.
3. Reference traditional architectural styles.
The building’s architectural style reflects the established architectural style that has been created
within the Town Centre. This architectural style uses a mixture of materials including brick, which
references the Town Centre’s existing buildings and heritage. The design of the development echoes
- 4 -
recently constructed buildings to the west and the continued “Old World” quadrangle design set
around the Public Plaza.
4. Capitalize on importance views.
The residential units on the east and north side of the building are orientated for mountain view
opportunities.
5. Enhance existing and cultural activities and public open space.
Phases 1, 2 and 4 of the development will include a portion of public open space surrounding the
ground floor commercial units that will form part of a larger central space.
6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features.
The Landscape Plan includes storm water management features in the central plaza.
7. Maintain street interconnectivity.
Phases 1, 2 and 4 includes a public plaza which this project has access to and use of.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and
the landscaping plans at a meeting held on January 17, 2018. The project was presented by the
project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the following resolution:
“The application be supported as presented and the applicant proceed to Council for approval.”
e) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for Mixed Use
developments. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below:
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985:
a. Section 703 (8) (a) is proposed to be varied from where the building is used for
apartment use above the second storey, the distance from the front lot line above the
second storey shall be not less than 7.5m to 1.1m.
b. Section 703 (8) (a) is proposed to be varied from where the building is used for
apartment use above the second storey, the distance from the rear lot line above the
second storey shall be not less than 7.5m to 0.0m.
c. Section 703 (8) is proposed to be varied where no building or structure shall be sited
less than 6.0m to 0.0m from a rear lot line.
d. Section 703 (8) (b) is proposed to be varied from a minimum above the third storey of a
buildings, the distance from exterior side lot lines shall be not less than 4.5 m to 2.0 m
above the third storey; and
e. Section 703 (8) (b) is proposed to be varied from a minimum of 4.5m to 0.0 m above the
third storey of a building, the distance from west side lot line.
- 5 -
The proposed variances (Appendix F) will create strong building orientation to the street and reduce
the tier distance between floors and create the appearance of a uniform building design for the
entire city block which is supported by the following Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines.
Similar variances were required to accommodate the early buildings 226th and 227th Street as well
as, Selkirk Avenue.
f)Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $98,309.99, the security will be $98,309.99.
CONCLUSION:
A Development Variance Permit application and a Town Centre Development Permit application have
been received for the subject property located at 11865 – 227th Street (PID 030-163-633) to
contruct a mixed use commercial/residential six storey building consisting of approximately
1,010.97 sq. m (10,882 sq. ft.) of ground floor commercial and 44 residential units. This application
is subject to the Town Centre Development Permit – Civic Core Guidelines as outlined in the Town
Centre Area Plan of the Official Community Plan (OCP). It is recommended that the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal applications 2017-500-DP and 2017-501-DVP.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: March 13, 2018
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Amending Bylaw No.7418-2018 and
Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No. 7419-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposed changes to the Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 are a result of
a combination of reviewing the actual bylaw for improvements and comparing best practices with
other local municipalities.
When changes are made to the Highway and Traffic Bylaw, corresponding changes must be made to
the Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw so that all sections in both bylaws are consistent.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1)That the Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Amending Bylaw No. 7418-2018 be given first,
second and third reading.
2)That the Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No. 7419-2018 be given
first, second and third reading.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Since the Highway and Traffic Bylaw was adopted in 2009 the time limit for parking on a
street without moving has always been 48 hours. A review of this in regards to practicality for
residents, as well as canvassing other municipalities, has led Staff to propose the change to
72 hours. This would keep the City in a consistent position with other neighbouring
communities.
One of the other changes refers to “angle parking”. The current section states “in a nose in
position in any cul-de-sac”. This is a somewhat antiquated description of what is really angle
parking and it is felt that this change will more accurately reflect the actual infraction.
The final change is simply removing the words “which is in transit to or from the adjoining
property” which have caused some confusion when trying to deal with residents dumping
material on the road in front of private property.
When changes are made to the Highway and Traffic Bylaw, corresponding changes must be
made to the Ticket Information Utilization Bylaw so that all sections in both bylaws are
consistent.

CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed Amendment Bylaw to the existing Highway and Traffic Bylaw provides updated
regulations for staff to pursue compliance with current parking and storage issues.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Business Licencing and Regulation Amending Bylaw No. 7441-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On February 27, 2018, Council adopted an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to better support home
occupations. For consistency, amendments to the Business Licence Bylaw are required.
In this case it is to ensure that definitions within the Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw match
the definitions in the Zoning Bylaw. Specifically, this is in relationship to the changes in the Zoning
Bylaw in regards to Home Occupations.
The other housekeeping amendments are based on a review of the Bylaw to bring certain sections
up to date.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Maple Ridge Business Licencing and Regulation Amending Bylaw No.7441-2018 be given first,
second and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Staff continually reviews City of Maple Ridge bylaws to ensure that they are current and
consistent. When changes to one bylaw are adopted it can affect complementing bylaws .
Because most business licence approvals are based on zoning it is important that there is
consistency between the two bylaws.
With the adoption of the new regulations in the Zoning Bylaw regarding home occupations, it
is important that the relevant sections in the Business Licence Bylaw are in line with these
changes.
There are a couple of other housekeeping changes that also need to be made, most notably
changing “District” to “City” throughout the entire bylaw.
CONCLUSIONS:
The adoption of this bylaw will ensure consistency with all Maple Ridge bylaws.

SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 and
Maple Ridge Water Service Amending Bylaw No. 7427-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) works with local governments to provide clean, safe
drinking water to the Region’s growing population. Since 1993, the GVWD has maintained a Water
Shortage Response Plan to manage outdoor water usage during annual periods of peak demand,
water shortages and emergencies. Following the implementation of advanced water restrictions
during the unusually hot and dry summer of 2015, the GVWD initiated a two phase review of the plan
in consultation with stakeholders. The initial review resulted in minor modifications to the plan that
was adopted by Maple Ridge and other municipalities in 2016. The second review resulted in seven
modifications to the plan that:
recognize drinking water as a precious resource;
maintain the environmental, economic vitality and health and safety of the region;
optimize available water supplies and reduce water use; and
minimize adverse impacts to public activity and quality of life for the region’s residents.
The GVWD has also renamed the Water Shortage Response Plan to the Drinking Water Conservation
Plan to better reflect the purpose and desired outcome of the plan.
Local governments are responsible for the enforcement of the Drinking Water Conservation Plan. It
is recommended that Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No.7425-2018 be given
first, second and third readings. This will replace the existing Maple Ridge Water Shortage Response
Plan Bylaw No. 6307-2005 and reflect the revisions to the GVWD plan.
The existing Maple Ridge Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw is also currently referenced in the
City’s Water Service Bylaw and Ticket Information System Utilization Bylaw. Renaming the Water
Shortage Response Plan Bylaw to the Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw in recognition of the
new GVWD plan name necessitates updating these bylaws. Thus it is recommended that Water
Service Amending Bylaw No. 7427-2018 attached as Appendix C be given first, second and third
readings. The Maple Ridge Ticket Information System Utilization Bylaw will be updated upon
adoption of the proposed Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018.
The GVWD Drinking Water Conservation Plan is attached as Appendix A.
The proposed Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 is attached as
Appendix B.
The proposed Maple Ridge Water Service Amending Bylaw No. 7427-2018 is attached as
Appendix C.

RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 be given first, second
and third reading; and
THAT Maple Ridge Water Service Amending Bylaw No. 7427-2018 be given first, second and third
reading.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The GVWD works with member governments of Metro Vancouver to provide clean, safe
drinking water to the region’s 2.5 million residents. Metro Vancouver maintains a Drinking
Water Conservation Plan (formerly the Water Shortage Response Plan) to manage the use of
drinking water during periods of high demand, water shortages and emergencies. The plan
was created in 1993, updated in 2004 and 2011, and amended in 2016.
The plan upholds the following principles:
1. Recognize drinking water as a precious resource that must be conserved;
2. Maintain the environmental, economic vitality and health and safety of the region to the
extent possible in the fact of a water shortage;
3. Optimize available water supplies and reduce water use; and
4. Minimize adverse impacts to public activity and quality of life for the region’s residents.
More specifically, the plan is intended to ensure the conservation of drinking water used
outdoors to achieve the following objectives:
Prevent water from being wasted;
Prepare for and respond to drought and emergency conditions;
Ensure drinking water can be delivered to all users during the summer when rainfall
levels are lowest and demand for water is highest;
Adapt to a changing climate;
Support fish habitat and ecosystems;
Minimize the costly expansion of the water system infrastructure; and
Maintain adequate water pressure to keep the system operating safely and
effectively.
Following the hot, dry summer of 2015 during which Stage 3 restrictions were implemented,
Metro Vancouver undertook a two phase review and update of the Water Shortage Response
Plan (WSRP). Metro Vancouver and local government councils including Maple Ridge
adopted first phase amendments in 2016. The GVWD Board has now approved second
phase amendments for adoption by local governments.
Metro Vancouver consulted stakeholder groups regarding seven proposed Phase 2
amendments to the Water Shortage Response Plan. The consultation process included a
local government workshop, online public survey, private sector surveys, private sector
stakeholder workshops and regional public dialogues. The private sector workshops were
attended by 35 participants representing the following eight sectors: commercial cleaning
(pressure washing, window cleaning), golf, turf farm, landscape and nursery irrigation,
commercial car washing, public and private school districts, and Chambers of Commerce.
Four regional public dialogues were attended by 135 members of the public and business
representatives. Metro Vancouver received 371 completed online surveys; 336 from the
public and 35 from private sector respondents. Feedback from the consultation process was
presented to the GVWD Board for consideration.
The proposed Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 reflects
Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Conservation Plan. Part 8 of the proposed bylaw serves to
repeal the Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw.
b) Desired Outcome:
To replace the City’s Water Shortage Response Plan Bylaw No. 6307-2005 with Drinking
Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 that reflects changes to Metro Vancouver’s
Water Shortage Response Plan, which is now known as the Drinking Water Conservation
Plan.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Citizens and other customers would use the region’s precious water resources in a more
sustainable manner as indicated by the new Drinking Water Conservation Plan.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Currently, violations of water sprinkling regulations when in effect are dealt with under the
Municipal Information Ticketing system. No adverse implications are anticipated.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
Metro Vancouver estimates that not accounting for growth, average summer water usage
may decline by 2% as a result of the Drinking Water Conservation Plan (correspondingly,
annual water usage would decline by 1%). Impacts of the Drinking Water Conservation Plan
on revenues are expected to be less than those routinely experienced due to annual
variations in outdoor water use due to weather conditions. Impacts would be dampened as
reductions in customer billing revenues would be offset in reductions in bulk water
purchases from Metro Vancouver. Rates will be adjusted in future years as appropriate to
accommodate changes in water usage associated with the Drinking Water Conservation
Plan.
CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed Maple Ridge Drinking Water Conservation Plan Bylaw No. 7425-2018 will maintain the
City’s alignment with Metro Vancouver member municipalities in the consistent application of Metro
Vancouver’s Drinking Water Conservation Plan.

1 Overview of the Drinking Water Conservation Plan
The Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) was created and constituted under the provincial statute
the Greater Vancouver Water District Act, to supply drinking water to the Metro Vancouver region. The
GVWD is governed by an Administration Board (the Board) consisting of representatives from the local
government members of the GVWD. The Board appoints a Commissioner (the GVWD Commissioner)
who provides management and oversight of the activities of the GVWD. The GVWD operates under the
name “Metro Vancouver”.
Metro Vancouver, working together with the local government members of the GVWD, provides clean,
safe drinking water to the region’s population of 2.5 million. Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water
Conservation Plan (DWCP) is a regional policy developed with local governments and other stakeholders
to manage the use of drinking water during periods of high demand, mostly during late spring to early
fall, and during periods of water shortages and emergencies. The DWCP helps ensure our collective
needs for drinking water are met affordably and sustainably now, and in the future.
There are two complementary documents to the DWCP. One is the Board’s Drinking Water Conservation
Policy which describes: 1) the GVWD Commissioner’s decision-making process for activating and
deactivating Stages of the DWCP; and 2) the implementation process for local governments.
The second complementary document is Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Management Plan, which
sets out the following three goals:
1. Provide clean, safe drinking water.
2. Ensure the sustainable use of water resources.
3. Ensure the efficient supply of water.
The water restrictions, as outlined in the DWCP, provide regional direction for meeting Goal 2 – Ensuring
the sustainable use of water resources.
The DWCP applies only to local government members of the GVWD and the use of drinking water from
the GVWD’s water system. Jurisdictions that are not local government members of the GVWD are
encouraged to follow the restrictions in the plan to help conserve drinking water and demonstrate
leadership and consistency to water users across the region. The DWCP restrictions do not apply to the
use of rain water, grey water, any forms of recycled water, or water from sources outside the GVWD
water system. If water is supplied from an alternative source other than the GVWD water system, such
users are encouraged to display signs indicating the alternative water source.
Underlying the development and implementation of the DWCP are the following four principles:
1. Recognize drinking water as a precious resource that must be conserved.
2. Maintain the environmental, economic vitality and health and safety of the region to the
extent possible in the face of a water shortage.
3. Optimize available water supplies and reduce water use.
4. Minimize adverse impacts to public activity and quality of life for the region’s residents.

2 Metro Vancouver’s role in ensuring the sustainable use of water
resources
2.1 Managing the region’s drinking water responsibly
Metro Vancouver is responsible for storing, treating and delivering clean, safe drinking water through its
local governments to over 2.5 million people in the Metro Vancouver region of British Columbia.
Metro Vancouver’s water system includes three watersheds and associated dams and reservoirs,
treatment facilities, an extensive transmission system, plus the performance of related operational and
maintenance tasks to manage this infrastructure.
Metro Vancouver distributes water to local government members on a
cost recovery basis.
Local governments then deliver drinking water, through their
infrastructure, directly to individual properties. All individual billing and
enforcement of water use restrictions is undertaken by each respective
local government.
Metro Vancouver manages the region’s water system in accordance with
Provincial regulations and Federal guidelines. In addition to meeting those
regulations and guidelines, Metro Vancouver is responsible for developing
long-range plans for managing the region’s drinking water and operating
the water system. The system is operated in alignment with priorities
identified in Metro Vancouver’s Board Strategic Plan, under the region’s
Drinking Water Management Plan and in consideration of the principles of
sustainability through decision making that considers social, economic, and environmental values.
2.2 Water conservation in Metro Vancouver
Water conservation is a major component of Metro Vancouver’s planning to ensure the sustainable use
of water resources. Helping water users such as residents, businesses, schools, and local governments to
use only what they need helps ensure an efficient and relatively cost effective water system.
Most precipitation in Metro Vancouver occurs between November and April. Dry summer months lead
to an increase in water use, particularly for the outdoor uses described in the DWCP. Assisting water
users to develop sustainable water use habits year round makes a significant difference in lowering daily
demand and sustaining reservoir levels during dry months. Lowering demand through water
conservation practices also defers the need to invest in expanding the infrastructure, even as the
region’s population grows by approximately 35,000 residents annually.
The DWCP describes the staged restrictions related to outdoor water use that water users should follow
to:
•Prevent water from being wasted;
3
•Prepare for and respond to drought and emergency conditions;
•Ensure drinking water can be delivered to all users during the summer when rainfall levels are
lowest and the demand for water is highest;
•Adapt to a changing climate;
•Support fish habitat and ecosystems;
•Minimize the costly expansion of the water system infrastructure; and
•Maintain adequate water pressure to keep the system operating safely and effectively.
More information on Metro Vancouver’s water conservation initiatives, improvements and expansion to
the delivery system, and planning for future water supply can be found at metrovancouver.org.
3 Drinking Water Conservation Plan – Stages 1 through 4
Each stage of the DWCP is designed to reduce demand for drinking water through specific water
restrictions which become more restrictive with higher stages. The following general restrictions apply
to all stages of the plan in addition to the specific water restrictions contained in each stage:
•All hoses must have an automatic shut-off device
•Water must not unnecessarily run off on impermeable surfaces such as driveways, curbs,
pathways, or gutters when watering lawns and plants
•Artificial playing turf and outdoor tracks must not be watered except for a health or safety
reason
•Hoses and taps must not run unnecessarily
•Irrigation systems must not be faulty, leaking, or misdirected
In most cases, the stages of the plan will be activated in successive order, but they can also be activated
immediately in any order.
Stage 1 reduces demand in summer months, and is automatically in effect on May 1 until October 15.
Stages 2 and 3, activated and deactivated by the GVWD Commissioner, are likely to be activated during
unusually hot and dry conditions to maximize conservation.
Stage 4, activated and deactivated by the GVWD Commissioner during an emergency to immediately
limit water use to essential needs only.
The decision to activate more restrictive stages of the DWCP is based on measured facts, reasoned
predictions, and historical patterns, with a goal of ensuring the sufficient supply of water until the
concerns that caused the more restrictive stages are over, typically in the early fall with the return of
seasonal rainfall.

3.4 Stage 4 Water Restrictions
Stage 4 is an emergency stage that limits both indoor and outdoor water uses as much as possible to
ensure an adequate supply of drinking water for human consumption, use in firefighting and to protect
the quality of drinking water within the water system for public health.
Stage 4 is activated based on the rare occurrence of a significant emergency, such as an earthquake,
flood, wild land and interface fire, severe weather, or a prolonged regional power outage that causes
significant impacts to the water system infrastructure (e.g. damage to major water transmission lines,
pump stations, or treatment plants).
In addition to the following outdoor water restrictions, Metro Vancouver could request that industrial
water users implement voluntary reductions or reschedule production processes that consume large
amounts of water until Stage 4 is deactivated.

•Water allocated to Metro Vancouver by BC Hydro from the Coquitlam Reservoir;
•Hydrologic forecasting parameters including temperature, rainfall, snowpack, and snowmelt;
•Seasonal water demand trends (measured and charted daily);
•User compliance with the restrictions; and
•Water transmission system performance and ability to deliver water during periods of high
demand.
Once the GVWD Commissioner makes the decision to activate or deactivate a stage, all local
governments are alerted within 24 hours, which triggers public notification and enforcement.
The GVWD Commissioner has the authority to activate, extend or deactivate stages at any time.
3.6 Public notification
Metro Vancouver and local governments are responsible for communicating information to water users
about the restrictions in clear and plain language including:
•Providing public access to the restrictions in both a full and abbreviated version;
•Distributing communications materials;
•Promoting the annual start date of the restrictions;
•Notification of activation or deactivation of stages;
•Responding to queries; and
•Recording feedback for consideration in future reviews.
3.7 Monitoring and enforcement
Local governments incorporate the DWCP restrictions into local government bylaws, where each local
government is responsible for monitoring and enforcing the restrictions in their communities. Local
governments will ensure that their respective enforcement and penalties for violations of the water
restrictions increase with each successive stage of the DWCP to reflect the severity of the situation
requiring the activation of an advanced stage.
Local governments may use a variety of tools to promote and ensure bylaw compliance including
educational materials, using verbal and written warnings, issuing tickets and imposing fines.
3.8 Updating the Drinking Water Conservation Plan
The DWCP is reviewed periodically to reflect population growth, climate change, new technologies and
changes in water system infrastructure. Proposed changes are discussed with local governments
responsible for plan implementation and enforcement, and with stakeholders. All updates are reviewed
and approved by the Board.
14
4 Exemption for local governments for health and safety reasons
Metro Vancouver encourages all local governments to follow the watering restrictions in the DWCP to
conserve water and demonstrate leadership. However, Metro Vancouver recognizes that local
governments have important decisions to make regarding protecting public health and safety, and that
certain circumstances may require the use of drinking water in a manner that is not consistent with the
DWCP restrictions. Therefore, local governments have the authority to use water during any stage and
are exempt from the restrictions in the DWCP for activities that are necessary for the purpose of
protecting public health and safety. Examples include:
• Flushing water mains where a significant health or safety concern is identified;
• Washing down public spaces where significant health concerns are raised, or on the
recommendation of the local health authority;
• Wetting forest and park perimeters or boulevards as part of a fire prevention strategy during
extreme hot and dry weather, or on the recommendation of the local fire authority; and
• Protection of publicly funded infrastructure such as community playing fields or swimming
facilities, on the recommendation of the city manager of the local government having
jurisdiction.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council
SUBJECT: Contract Renewal Award: Electrical Contractor Services
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In February 2013, the City entered into a 3-year contract with Boileau Electric & Pole Line Limited for the
provision of electrical contractor services primarily consisting of on-call services to support existing City
infrastructure, systems and facilities, such as sewage, storm, and water pump stations, reservoir, traffic
lights, street lights, and illuminated pedestrian crossing signs. The contract allows for two contract
extensions each of two years duration. The first contact extension expired on January 31, 2018 and the City
has the option to renew the contract for an additional two years.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for ‘Electrical Contractor Services’ be awarded to Boileau Electric and Pole Line Limited for
the final two year option period and further that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
In February 2013, the City entered into a 3-year contract with Boileau Electric & Pole Line Limited for
the provision of electrical contractor services primarily consisting of on-call services to support
existing City infrastructure, systems and facilities, such as sewage, storm, and water pump stations,
reservoir, traffic lights, street lights, and illuminated pedestrian crossing signs. The contract allows
for two contract extensions each of two years duration. The first contact extension expired on
January 31, 2018 and the City has the option to renew the contract for an additional two years.
b)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The work is to support existing City infrastructure, systems and facilities, such as sewage, storm, and
water pump stations, reservoir, traffic lights, street lights, and illuminated pedestrian crossing signs.
All work is completed on a time and material basis with estimates provided as required. Estimated
annual value is approximately $230,000.00 based on average of the previous years’ excluding
appropriate taxes. There will be no increase to the 2018-2020 unit pricing as Boileau Electric & Pole
Line Limited have agreed to hold their rates.
CONCLUSION:
Within the scope of the work requirements detailed in RFP-0P12-50 and Proposal submission Boileau
Electric and Pole Line Limited has met or exceeded the expectations in regards to the contract, renewing the
contract for its final two (2) year optional period would provide the best value to the City.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative – UBCM Grant Funding
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This report describes an opportunity for grant funding through UBCM under the Strategic Wildfire
Prevention Initiative (SWPI) program for the purposes of educating residents on FireSmart principles.
Effects of a wildfire are lessened and better managed on properties and communities which follow
FireSmart principles. Council is being asked to provide support for the application.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the application for FireSmart Planning & Activities Grant Program funding through the
Union of British Columbia Municipalities be supported.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
In 2016 and 2017 city staff applied for and received funding under the UBCM – Strategic
Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI) to educate private land owners on their part in
community wildfire protection. Staff is again recommending applying for funds to continue
this work in 2018. Plans for this year’s funding include:
1.Continuing education presentations during the Fire Department’s Hot Summer Nights
Program in areas located in the wildfire development permit area.
2.Secure a booth at the Home Show to connect with and educate residents.
3.Design and purchase of FireSmart banners for public events.
4.A chipping event for residents who register and participate in property hazard
assessments for cleanup from hazard mitigation.
All grant application submissions are vetted by the UBCM evaluation committee to ensure
cost effectiveness and good value. Prior to obtaining final grant approval, applicants must
provide a Council Resolution indicating support for the proposed activities and willingness to
provide overall grant management.

b) Desired Outcome(s): (whenever possible)
In applying for funding under the UBCM – SWPI program, City staff intend on securing
provincial funds to provide educational and planning opportunities for private land owners in
the wildland urban interface. These opportunities will assist citizens with making their
property as resilient as possible to the threat of interface forest fires.
c) Strategic Alignment (as appropriate):
The project that will be completed with grant funding will support building a safe and resilient
community.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
The project leaders are both career and paid-on-call firefighters.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The grant will cover 100% of all costs associated with FireSmart planning activities. There will
be no cost to the City.
f) Alternatives:
Should Council choose not to adopt the resolutions, the application will not be successful.
CONCLUSIONS:
Education and planning are the cornerstones of fire prevention. Applying for provincial funds
through the UBCM – SWPI program will enable staff to continue the work started in 2016. This
funding program provides 100% cost coverage of all associated costs for the planning and delivery of
FireSmart activities.
