Page 4 of 16
Ms. Lucas introduced herself as a resident of Maple Ridge and that she has
been clean for 10 months. She also stated that she was around when the
Cliff Avenue tent city started and advised that many of the original
residents are no longer living. Ms. Lucas expressed concern that the
promise of free housing with no rules or requirements has caused many
persons with addictions to come to Maple Ridge and that policing is not
adequate. Ms. Lucas advocated for rehab and proper detox rather than low
barrier facilities for addicted persons who are homeless. She spoke to the
negative impacts of shelters on those who are addicted. She wished to
convey that enabling addicts does not work and what is currently being
done is not working. She expressed concern with the impact of the
proposed low barrier facilities on the downtown core.

seniors. She also advised on the fear felt by seniors when going out into
the community and when active addicts are placed into seniors’ rentals.

Johnson spoke against methods currently used to deal with duly addicted
and duly diagnosed persons and encouraged court mandated treatment.
She reiterated her concern that the law is not being followed and that the
motivation for persons who are addicted to receive help is currently not
there.

the impact on businesses, including her own. She spoke on the negative
impact of low barrier shelters in other cities and on neighbourhoods.

concerns related to the proposed modular housing. Ms. Galesloot asked
whether an impact study can be done and expressed that the location is
not appropriate. She also expressed concern that as the existing house on

property. She advised that this site is a provincial choice and is not coming

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Big Feast Bistro + Retail Sidewalk Cafe — 11920 227 Street, Maple Ridge
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on the ongoing progress of the work
to promote sidewalk cafés that was part of the Town Centre Animation Plan presented at Council
Workshop on May 16, 2016.
As part of this program, staff have met with the owner of Big Feast Bistro + Retail to discuss adding
an awning and decorative railing to their current sidewalk cafe area located in front of the business.
In order to add these improvements, the owner has secured a Highway Use Permit to encroach on a
portion of the public sidewalk along 227 Street. Staff have confirmed that there is sufficient travel
space on the sidewalk to accommodate this encroachment.
RECOMMENDATION:
For information only.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Town Centre Animation Plan was developed to realize Council’s goal of creating a more
active, vibrant Town Centre for both residents and visitors. This plan envisions increasing the
entertainment and food choices available in the Town Centre to encourage more residents
and tourists to visit and shop in the Town Centre. One of the key elements of this plan is to
encourage the development of sidewalk cafes and patios in the Town Centre.
Big Feast Retail + Bistro has been operating a very popular sidewalk café at their location on
227 Street for a number of years. Most of the current café tables and chairs are located
directly adjacent to the front of the restaurant on private property. However, the restaurant
has occasionally set up one or two additional tables across the sidewalk in the “utility
corridor” of the public sidewalk. Staff have received complaints from the public that these
tables impede public access for pedestrians using the sidewalk. The owner of Big Feast
Bistro + Retail has agreed to cease placing any tables or chairs on the opposite side of the
sidewalk.
The City regulates the location and operation of sidewalk cafes and parkets (such as at
Chameleon Café) through the issuance of a Highway Use Permit (HUP). These permits cover
the operation, maintenance and insurance requirements to operate a patio on public space.
702.3
The planned sidewalk cafe at Big Feast + Retail will have a seating capacity of 18, and will be
designed to ensure the safety of diners while adding an attractive design element to 227
Street. Key provisions of the HUP ensure the sidewalk cafe is designed, built and operated in
a manner that ensures the safety of the public and that the owners maintain an appropriate
amount of insurance and add the City as a named insured. Big Feast Bistro + Retail will own
the sidewalk café railing and awning, and will be solely responsible for all of the costs to
design, build and maintain these to an agreed upon standard. The sidewalk café will be
designed and sited in such a way as to ensure public safety and not interfere with municipal
infrastructure or traffic. The placement of the sidewalk café railings will allow for a minimum
sidewalk width of 2.1 m for pedestrian travel. Big Feast + Retail has also agreed to pay the
City to replace the planted area in front of the restaurant on 227 Street with a concrete
surface to improve pedestrian traffic flow.
The railing will be designed using modular construction techniques to allow it to be removed
in a timely fashion if the City deems it necessary, and the owners would be solely responsible
for all of the costs to remove the railing. The HUP can be terminated by either party on 60
days’ notice. Appendix 1 provides preliminary drawings of the railing design. The goal is to
have this sidewalk cafe open in summer 2018.
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The goal of the Town Centre Animation Plan is to create a more active and vibrant
environment in the Town Centre that will attract both residents and visitors to the Town
Centre and support local businesses. Sidewalk cafes and patios provide an attractive and
active element to the streetscape and should encourage more people to visit the Town
Centre. Staff will continue to seek opportunities for increased participation and will promote
these animations through the City’s web site.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Sidewalk cafes help add a sense of ambience and liveliness to the streetscape, provide new
dining options for citizens, and allow local restaurants to expand their business and add new
staff.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Successful implementation of this plan will require on-going input and participation from
Economic Development, Parks & Leisure Services, Engineering, Planning, Fire, Festivals and
Events, and Licences, Permits and Bylaws. An inter-departmental team has been established
to ensure ongoing co-ordination among the various aspects of this plan.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The sidewalk café/parklet initiatives were identified in the Economic Development
Department’s annual Business Plan.
CONCLUSIONS:
Creating a vibrant Town Centre is one of the Maple Ridge’s key long-term economic development
goals and a stated goal of the Town Centre Area Plan. Parks, Recreation and Culture has developed
a strong calendar of festivals, events and activities that bring residents and visitors into the Town
Centre. The goal of this plan is to leverage these strengths and initiatives by enhancing coordination
with the DMRBIA and the Community Festival Network. Adding sidewalk cafes helps build on this
ambience brings more activity to the Town Centre, encouraging visitors to stay longer and support
local businesses. Over the longer term, these efforts will lead to the emergence of the Town Centre
as a shopping and entertainment destination for residents and visitors.

SUBJECT: Application for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
23795 Dewdney Trunk Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
exclude approximately 0.2 hectares (0.5 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The
Applicant’s submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land
Commission. This application is unusual in that the Commission has previously identified and
recommended the subject property for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. In addition, the
subject property is designated Urban in the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy, and is
designated Urban Residential in the Maple Ridge Official Community Plan. For this reason, the
property could be developed to an urban standard without senior agency approval. Due to these
unique circumstances as discussed further in this report, Council may find this application to be
supportable.
RECOMMENDATION:
As per Council direction for all ALR exclusion applications , the following resolutions are provided
for Council’s consideration:
a)That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b)That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commissi on with
a summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Townhouse Residential
Site Area: 0.202 HA
Access: Dewdney Trunk Road
b) Project Description:
The subject property is zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential). Although it has been within the
Urban Area Boundary for several years, it remains included within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The purpose of this application is to exclude the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve in order
to assemble this lot with the property to its east. The intention is to create a townhouse
development with this land assembly.
c) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council
outlining legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for
exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options
for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with
comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
- 3 -
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
The process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council resolved
that the process for referring applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include
the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
The above resolution forms the recommendations presented in this staff report.
Official Community Plan. The City of Maple Ridge recognizes the jurisdiction of the ALC for the ALR
properties within City boundaries. Towards this end, Policy 6-5 of the OCP states the following:
Maple Ridge will collaborate with other agencies, such as the Agricultural Land
Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Greater Vancouver Regional District
to promote and foster agriculture.
In this instance, the Agricultural Land Commission indicated support for its removal from the ALR
under Commission Resolution. On this basis, this application is supportable.
Remnant Properties – Commission Resolution
In 2011, the Agricultural Land Commission identified certain properties within the City as
appropriate for exclusion under ALC Resolution 2635/2011, made on October 27, 2011. This
resolution invited the City to submit a local government application for exclusion for remnant areas
“identified by the Commission as being unsuitable for agriculture”. The identification of these
properties for exclusion stems from the Commission’s interest in maintaining an Agricultural Land
Reserve that accurately reflects agricultural capability and suitability of properties contained within
it.
The subject property was included in the list of the remnant properties as suitable for exclusion from
the ALR. Affected property owners were notified by the City of their potential for exclusion in
correspondence dated September 9, 2013. At the time, the Commission anticipated but did not
require that the exclusion of these properties would proceed through a local government exclusion
application. As an alternative, individual property owners have the right to pursue exclusion
applications on their own.
Development Implications
The current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential zoning of the subject property is at odds with its
location within the Urban Area Boundary. The 0.2 hectare (0.5 acre) site could not be developed
- 4 -
further under its current zoning. The exclusion of this property from the Agricultural Land Reserve
will bring it into compliance with its Urban Residential Designation in the Official Community Plan.
d) Citizen Implications :
A letter was received in opposition to this application out of concern for the environmental impacts
that this development would have. However, a staff review has indicated that there are no natural
features on the site such as a watercourse that would require special protection measures.
Alternatives:
This application to exclude the subject property is consistent with ALC direction and is therefore
supportable. However, Council has the option of denying this application from proceeding to the
ALC.
CONCLUSION:
This application for exclusion from the ALR is unique as it has been identified by the ALC as
appropriate for exclusion from the ALR. The surrounding context of the subject properties site is
Agricultural and Suburban Residential. The application is supportable, based on ALC direction to
remove identified remnant properties from the ALR.

SUBJECT: Application for non-farm use within the Agricultural Land Reserve
12811 256 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received for non-farm use under section 20 (3) of the Agricultural Land
Commission Act for a temporary residential use on land that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
This use is permitted in the Zoning Bylaw and Agricultural Land Commission regulations with the
condition that a manufactured home be used for this purpose. The applicant intends to use an
alternate structure for this purpose, thereby necessitating approval from the Agricultural Land
Commission.
RECOMMENDATION:
That application 2018-142-AL be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission.

Site Area: 4.0 hectares 10 acres
Access: 256th Street
b) Project Description:
This application proposes to utilize an alternate structure for a temporary residential use. A
temporary residential use is a conditional permitted use under the Zoning Bylaw and the regulations
of the Agricultural Land Commission. These conditions include the requirement that the dwelling
unit is to provide housing for a relative, and that the dwelling unit be a manufactured home with
defined specifications.
The alternate structure was originally used as a display home for a residential development in
Langley. It is a two bedroom unit with an approximate size of 100 square metres (1100 square
feet). In its original construction, the unit was code compliant for residential uses, and was
authorized by the Building Department to be relocated for temporary storage on the site. The initial
intent was to move the structure to another property, but upon review of available options the
property owner concluded it would be preferable to use this structure as an alternative to a
manufactured home to provide housing for her daughter.
There is an existing farm help dwelling on the property in addition to a principal dwelling. The BC
Assessment Authority confirms that the property generates farm income (not through a lease
arrangement). Farming activities include poultry products.
Both the Zoning Bylaw and the Agricultural Land Commission policies permit a temporary residential
use and a farm help residence to exist simultaneously, provided the scale of agriculture is sufficient
to justify additional residences.
c) Planning Analysis:
Temporary residential uses are permitted in the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw and in the policies of the
Agricultural Land Commission. If this application complied fully with Commission policies, an
application to the Commission for non-farm use would not be required in order for the proposal to
proceed. However, this application deviates from District practice and Commission policies due to
the structure type (alternative structure versus manufactured home).
- 3 -
Agricultural Land Commission Policies :
Commission Policy L-08, allows the following residential uses in an agricultural land:
a secondary suite in a single family dwelling, and either
a manufactured home, up to 9 m in width, for use by a member of the owner's immediate
family, or
accommodation that is constructed above an existing building on the farm and that has only
a single level;
A non-farm use application is required for this application to proceed because the proposed
structure type does not meet Commission requirements. The Commission also requires that once
the dwelling is no longer needed for the temporary use, that it be removed, demolished, or
decommissioned.
Zoning Bylaw
The Zoning Bylaw makes allowances for allowing dwelling units other than a manufactured home for
a temporary residential use. It states:
A lot 0.4 hectares or greater in area may have a Temporary Residential Use contained within
the same building as the One Family Residential Use; a self contained mobile home certified
under certificate Z240 by the Canadian Standards Association; or any other dwelling unit
designated as a Temporary Residential Use by the Director of Licenses, Permits and Bylaws
or his/her designate.
Although the intended structure for a temporary residential use is a manufactured home, the bylaw
permits consideration of alternate dwelling structures where practical.
The main reason why manufactured homes are preferred for this purpose is that they may be
removed more readily when they are no longer required for their immediate purpose. There are other
safeguards to ensure this use remains temporary may be found in the following section of the bylaw:
…the property owner will enter into an annual Temporary Residential Use agreement with
the District of Maple Ridge for a fee of $30.25; and the Temporary Residential Use will be
removed within thirty days of the relative no longer residing on the property;
Viewed in this context, it may be seen that this application, while unusual, can comply with the
Zoning Bylaw with respect to use and structure type if appropriate approvals are granted. The
requirement for removal or decommissioning of the structure will remain if it is no longer being used
for its intended purpose.
c) Interdepartmental Implications – Building Department:
The subject property is serviced by septic and community water. Prior to permitting both structures
to be used for residential purposes, the applicant will have demonstrated adequate septic capacity
for both structures.
- 4 -
d) Alternatives:
As with all applications to the Commission, Council has the option of denying this application from
proceeding further, in which case it is effectively denied. In such a circumstance, the applicant
would have the opportunity to use other provisions of the bylaw, such as a secondary suite, to meet
this need. In the case of denial, the alternative structure would have to be either removed,
demolished or repurposed as an accessory residential structure.
CONCLUSION:
This application is for an alternative structure for a temporary residential use. Although the use is
permitted outright by the Commission, alternative structures for this purpose require a non farm
use application before they can be approved. On this basis, the recommendation is to forward
the application to the Commission.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7444-2018
11607, 11621, 11633 Burnett Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at 11607, 11621, and
11633 Burnett Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment Residential) to permit a five storey condominium building. Approximately 49 units ranging
from one to three bedroom units are proposed at this time. This includes four to five one bedroom
and den units built to be adaptable to support accessibility and “aging-in place” living. The applicant
is also proposing to include enhanced energy efficient building methods to try to achieve a Certified
Passive House Standard for the entire building.
Approximately 66 off-street parking spaces (59 resident and 7 visitor) are currently proposed in two
underground parking levels. However, ten of these spaces are configured in a tandem arrangement
(i.e. five tandem pairs), which are not currently allowed by the City’s Off-Street Parking and Loading
Bylaw 4350-1990. If five tandem spaces are not counted, as they are not currently permitted, this
project has 23 fewer spaces than the 84 required by the City’s Off-street Parking and Loading Bylaw
4350-1990 for a 49 unit RM-2 zoned apartment building. The applicant will need to seek a
development variance from Council at a future time for the reduced number of spaces. Council also
has the discretion to request a cash-in-lieu payment for parking in the amount of $184,000 ($8,000
per space) when considering the variance. The applicant will be required to provide short term and
long term bicycle parking, as well as accessible parking spaces.
The subject properties are already designated Low-Rise Apartment and Conservation. An OCP
amendment may be required to adjust the Conservation boundary to reflect setbacks from Creek 33
and an unnamed tributary that flows along the western and northern edges of the development site.
As per Council Policy 6.31, a CAC charge of $151,900 is requested for this proposed development
($3,100 per apartment dwelling unit). To proceed further with this application additional information
is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i.The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii.The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
1103
- 2 -
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the City’s
website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7444-2018 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, D, E, and F of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999.

Site Area: 0.73 ha (1.8 acres)
Access: Burnett Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
Three subject properties, located at 11603, 11621 and 11633 Burnett Street, together make up a
square development site approximately 0.73 ha (1.8 acres) in size (see Appendix A). There are two
single family dwellings currently sitting on the southern two lots, while a single-family dwelling was
recently demolished on the northern lot. The eastern portion of the development site fronting Burnett
Street is largely flat, while the western and northern portions are traversed by Creek 33 and an
unnamed tributary in treed ravines. Otherwise, the gardens around the current single-family
dwellings are covered by grass, bushes, and some trees (see Appendix B).
The development site is surrounded by single family dwellings to the west, south and east. The
property to the north currently rests vacant, but is also under application for a five storey apartment
building (application 2017-145-RZ).
c) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to dedicate approximately 0.48 ha (1.18 acres) as park to protect Creek
33 and an unnamed tributary, as well as another 0.03 ha for road widening along Burnett Street. The
net lot area for development is approximately 0.21 ha (0.5 acres), or 30% of the original
development site. A preliminary environmental context map was generated by staff to illustrate
potential site constraints (see Appendix C). The sufficiency of proposed dedications will be
determined after receiving full environmental, engineering and geotechnical assessments from the
applicant prior to second reading.
The development proposal is for a five storey condominium building with approximately 4,334 m2
(46,657 sf) of gross floor area, and a floor space ratio of 1.77. At this preliminary stage, 49 market
units comprising a range of sizes are proposed (see Appendix E):
4 one bedroom units;
5 one bedroom and den units;
20 two bedroom units;
15 two bedroom and den units;
5 three bedroom units.
The applicant is proposing that four to five of the one-bedroom and den units be built as adaptable
units to allows residents to easily adapt units for greater accessibility and/or “aging -in place” living.
The applicant is also proposing to incorporate high energy efficiency building techniques to achieve a
certified Passive House standard. This includes high performance air barriers, triple glazed windows,
better insulation, heat-recovery ventilation units, and managing solar heat gain through shading
systems.
A large amenity space, approximately 201 m2 (2,169 sf) is also being proposed in a separate two-
storey building on the northwest corner of the development site. The amenity space is created
through the displacement and renovation of the existing house on 11621 Burnett Street.
66 off-street parking spaces for residents and visitors, ten of which are configured in five tandem
pairs, are proposed in two underground parking levels. If five of the tandem spaces were not
- 4 -
counted, as tandem parking is not currently permitted for RM-2 zoned buildings, the application
actually provides 61 spaces. This is 23 fewer than the 84 spaces normally required for a 49-unit RM-
2 zoned apartment building according to the City’s Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw 4350-
1990. Note that the development site is located just outside of the Central Business District, where
reduced parking standards apply. The development site is not located within the 930 m radius of the
City’s parking lot where a cash-in-lieu payment for missing parking spaces may be applied.
The applicant will need to seek a variance from Council for the parking reduction. Council also has
the discretion through the rezoning process to request a cash-in-lieu payment for parking in the
amount of $184,000 ($8,000 per space for 23 spaces) when considering the variance. The
applicant will also be required to provide short term and long term bicycle parking, as well as
accessible parking spaces, which have not been specified at this time due to the preliminary stage of
the application.
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:
The following policies apply to this proposal:
Town Centre Area Plan:
The development site is located at the southeastern edge of the South of Lougheed (SOLO) precinct
of the Town Centre Area Plan. The SOLO precinct supports mixed-use commercial and higher density
residential development within its boundaries. This project, a low-rise residential building, conforms
to the intent of the SOLO precinct guidelines of the Town Centre Area Plan.
The proposed RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zoning complies with the subject
property’s current designation of Low Rise Apartment. However, an OCP amendment application to
adjust Conservation boundaries may be required.
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.
This project increases the residential density by introducing approximately 49 units ranging from one
to three bedrooms in size. They are located within walking distance to a range of shops, services,
and transit in and around the Central Business District.
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. Consideration should also be given to the privacy of residents in existing
buildings.
- 5 -
Due to the presence of Creek 33 and an unnamed tributary to the west and north respectively, the
building will not likely have any shadow impacts on any buildings in those directions. However, there
are single family homes on the east side of Burnett Street, and a shadow study will be requested to
determine any possible impacts on these properties.
Residential parking in Low-Rise Apartment use is provided underground.
This project includes two below grade concealed parking levels in conformance with this policy.
However, if any portion of the parking structure projects above the grade, the applicant will be asked
to demonstrate how its impacts on the public realm will be mitigated by landscaping, plantings or
residential amenity space design. Otherwise, the underground structure should be lowered so as not
to impair the pedestrian realm and streetscape façade.
3-22 All Low-Rise Apartment developments should be a minimum of three (3) storeys and a
maximum of five (5) storeys in height.
This project complies with the height range envisioned by the policy.
Official Community Plan:
3-31 Maple Ridge supports the provision of rental accommodation and encourages the
construction of rental units that vary in size and number of bedrooms.
This project does not include any purpose-built rental accommodation at this time.
3-32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing
throughout the District.
The applicant has not included any affordable units at this time. Four to five one-bedroom and den
units to be built as adaptable units can serve as special needs housing.
3-33 Maple Ridge will encourage housing that incorporates “age-in-place” concepts and senior
housing designed to accommodate special needs.
The four to five units built to as adaptable units also supports “aging-in-place”.
In summary, the proposed apartment building and concept for the development site is supported by
the Town Centre Area Plan. The application includes a healthy mix of unit sizes, as well as some units
supporting special needs and/or “aging-in-place” living. However, it does not contribute to rental
housing. It also does not contribute to providing affordable housing in the city, other than through the
requested CAC contribution of $3,100 per unit. Council had previously directed that CAC’s collected
in the Town Centre be directed towards affordable housing initiatives.
Housing Action Plan:
Maple Ridge’s vision and commitment to towards housing is encompassed in this statement
contained in the Maple Ridge Housing Action Plan:
"Access to safe, affordable, and appropriate housing that meets the diverse and changing
needs of the community is a priority.”
- 6 -
The current application proposes a healthy mix of unit sizes, as well as some units constructed as
adaptable units. As previously mentioned, it does not address the need for rental or affordable
housing, which have been fulfilled by some other recent applications around the Town Centre Area.
The number and type of units (e.g. special needs, seniors) will be discussed with the applicant prior
to second reading.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at 11607, 11621 and
11633 Burnett Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment
Residential) to permit the construction of a five storey apartment building with a proposed floor
space ratio (FSR) of 1.77 (see Appendix D). The RM-2 zone currently allows for a four storey building
with a maximum floor space ratio (FSR) of 1.8.
The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 zone is 668 m2, and the minimum lot size for the
proposed RM-2 zone is 1,300 m2. The net lot size of the current application after dedication is
approximately 2,100 m2 (0.5 acres). The following variances have been identified at the current
time:
Increase in height from 4 storeys to 5 storeys;
Reduction of the front, rear and interior side setbacks from 7.5 m to 4.0 m, 3.0 m and 5.0 m
respectively; and,
Reduction of the off-street parking requirement from 84 to 61 spaces (23 fewer spaces
where five tandem spaces are not counted).
On parking, the applicant will request in the future that Council vary and reduce the number of
parking spaces required for this project. Council has the option to request a cash-in-lieu payment for
the missing parking spaces, which would total approximately $184,000 ($8,000 per space for 23
spaces) for this project. This provision is included in the City’s Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw
4350-1990, Part III, Section 3.4 and can be applied to applications within 930 m of the City’s
parking lot. While the current application sits at the edge of the 930 m distance, Council has the
discretion to request this cash-in-lieu payment nonetheless as part of the rezoning process.
The precise nature of these variances, and justification for them, will be examined once a full
application package is received following first reading. Any variations from the requirements of the
proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit application for the South of
Lougheed Precinct is required for all multi-family residential, flexible mixed use and commercial
development located in the Town Centre.
- 7 -
Advisory Design Panel:
The Town Centre Development Permit for the South of Lougheed Precinct must be reviewed by the
Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Fire Department;
c) Building Department;
d) Parks Department;
e) School District;
f) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and
g) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C);
3. A Town Centre Development Permit Application for the South of Lougheed Precinct
(Schedule D);
4. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E);
5. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
- 8 -
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the intent of the OCP land use designation. An
amendment to the Conservation boundary may be required. The proposal for a five storey, 49 unit
RM-2 zoned apartment building increases residential densities in close proximity to the downtown
core, services and transit. The proposed design includes a large and useful indoor common amenity
space for residents. It is proposing to include energy efficient design elements to attempt to achieve
a Certified Passive House Standard. It also provides some adaptable units that may serve some
special needs and seniors housing. However, it does not include any affordable or rental housing at
this time. The application is also requesting variances to setbacks and reduced parking spaces.
Therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading to this application subject to additional
information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. Notably, the number and type of
units for special needs and seniors housing, and the sufficiency of the dedicated park area and
setbacks must be assessed. Council is also asked to provide direction as to whether a cash-in-lieu of
parking contribution should be provided.

the north end of the site and a 54 unit townhouse development at the south end of the site.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for development. A
Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. Density bonus
provisions are being used for this application.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below.
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 9, Setbacks, 1a):
o To reduce the front yard setback from 7.5 to 4.5 metres
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 9, Setbacks, 1b):
o To reduce the rear yard setback from 7.5 to 2.0 metres;
3. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 9, Setbacks, 1c):
o (North Side) To reduce the side yard setback (north side) from 7.5 to 4.0 metres;
o (South Side) To reduce the side yard setback (south side) from 7.5 to 4.0 metres
The extent of these variances is not uniform across the setback area. Most of the setbacks are
significantly larger. In all cases, compliance with usable open space area requirements has been
met. The applicant notes that the site has irregular lot geometry due to required environmental
setback requirements. This constraint has affected the ability to orient the dwelling units around the
site. The approval of this variance will assist in providing a functional site plan.

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 variance is supported because it facilitates the orderly development of the site in
accordance with the Official Community Plan.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-336-DVP.

b) Project Description:
This form and character development permit is for a 54 unit Townhouse development in conjunction
with a rezoning application.
c) Planning Analysis:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, this Multi-Family Development permit is
required to ensure the proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles
that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses.
The development permit application made to the City prompting this submission to the ADP is
subject to the Key Guidelines and the Design Guidelines of Section 8.7 Multi-Family Development
Permit.
Key Guidelines:
The following is a brief description and assessment of the proposal’s compliance with the applicable
Key Development Permit Guidelines:
1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate
local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing.
Combined design initiatives including utilizing the natural grade, private landscaped yards, and siting
of buildings foster privacy and continuity in building design.
- 3 -
2. Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through
means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the
periphery of a higher density developments.
The maximum height of the proposed RM-1 Townhouse Residential District is 11 metres, which is
the same as all single family zones. In addition, the proposed R-2 Urban Residential District single
family units to the north of this townhouse will provide a transition of compact single family housing,
bridging between lower density R-1 Residential District further north and the proposed townhouse
site south.
3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a
sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness.
The proposed development is clustered into separate buildings to provide an attractive
neighbourhood feel.
4. Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through
landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground
where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface
parking located to the rear of the property.
Private landscaped yards, parking garages, and architectural features emphasizing individual
entries, and the different materials used will provide visual interest in the landscape.
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The applicant presented the proposal at the June 13, 2017 Advisory Design Panel. In response,
the ADP passed the following resolution:
That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops
and be submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
Consider reducing the use of vinyl, particularly at ground level.
o Applicant’s response: This has been addressed by incorporating horizontal
fibre cement board on the lower levels of select elevations.
Provide postal kiosk details, including garbage and recycling amenities.
o Applicant’s response: Done.
Provide a parking space close to mail box that does not require backing out. Connect
directly to kiosk with paving.
o Applicant’s response: Done
- 4 -
Provide alternate road surface, especially at internal intersections.
o Applicant’s response: This request was reviewed and the main entrance has
been developed to provide pedestrian connectivity to the street and the site
entrance.
Provide accessible connectivity to and from handicap parking stalls.
o Applicant’s response: The parking space has been enlarged to provide direct
connectivity to the internal road. This would provide access to the front door of
every residential unit.
Substitute a few of the Maple species with other species.
o Applicant’s response: Done.
Provide a thematic gateway element at the entrance to the development.
o Applicant’s response: Done
e) Environmental Implications:
A Watercourse Protection Development Permit is being processed concurrently with this application.
In addition, an Official Community Plan amendment is being processed concurrently to adjust the
conservation boundaries as a result of ground truthing. These two applications will assist in
protecting the environmentally sensitive portions of the site.
Citizen/Customer Implications:
Public consultation has been provided through the required Development Information Meeting and
the Public Hearing, held on November 21, 2017. In addition, a Development Variance Permit is also
being pursued, for relaxations to front, side and rear yard setbacks. This variance request will
generate additional neighbour notification requirements.
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 $373,087.50, the security will be $373,087.50.
There will be 14 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The
costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating
budget.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
This development permit application is in support of a multi-family residential development that
received Third Reading on November 28, 2017 and is being considered for Final Reading on May 22,
2018. The application has been reviewed and supported by the Advisory Design Panel, and for this
reason, it is recommended that Application 2016-336-DP be approved.

farm home plate regulations in the Zoning Bylaw. The requested variances are to:
increase the area of the farm home plate from a maximum of 0.2 hectares to 0.284
hectares;
increase the maximum depth of a farm home plate from 60 metres to 110.4 metres;
and
increase the maximum depth from the lot line that abuts the fronting road to any
portion of the one-family residential use from 50 metres to 110 metres.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2018-126-VP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2018-126-DVP respecting property located

b) Project Description:
This application is for the construction of a single family home on the subject property. An existing
dwelling on site will be decommissioned for use as an accessory structure. The existing access off of
96th Avenue will be removed with a new access of 266th Street.
This variance request has been before the Board of Variance on two occasions. On January 3, 2018,
the Board deferred the request, requesting that a more detailed site plan be provided. On January 6,
2018, the application was denied by the Board of Variance. In this second decision, the Board
decided, given the magnitude of the relaxations requested, that it would be more appropriate for
Council to approve this application.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below:
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 104, 156. a):
To increase the area of the farm home plate from a maximum of 0.2 hectares to
0.284 hectares
3. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 104, 156. b).
To increase the maximum depth of a farm home Plate from 60 metres to 110.4
metres.
4. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 104, 156. c)
To increase the maximum depth from the lot line that abuts the fronting road to any
portion of the one-family residential use from 50 metres to 110 metres.
The support for this application relates to the site constraints. A steep slope divides the north
portion of the site from the south side. A watercourse transects the site at its north west corner. The
applicant’s have provided a professional opinion that the siting of the well for the new house should
- 3 -
be on the north portion of the site, to separate and prevent runoff from livestock, as the applicant
intends to farm the site. A large stand of trees also exists at the north west corner of the site that
would need to be removed should the new house be built there. The proposed farm will then site the
house at the higher north end, and include livestock at the south portion of the side, at the bottom of
the sloped 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 variance is supported due to the site constraints present on the property.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2018-126-DVP.

b) Project Description:
The subject property is located in the Hammond Community specifically the Lower Hammond
Precinct. The lands are located between Maple Crescent to the north-east; Railway tracks to south-
west; vacant piece of land zoned C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to the north-west; and Ditton Street
to the south-east.
The applicant is proposing a mini-warehouse consisting of approximately 6,3980.3 square meters of
gross floor area over 3 floors. The following table details the breakdown of gross floor area per floor.
Floor Gross Floor Area
Main 1,856.0 square meters
Second 2,323.4 square meters
Third 2,218.9 square meters
Total 6,398.3 square meters
The building will be orientated towards Maple Crescent with the access point onto Maple Crescent
being situated approximately mid block between Ditton Street and Lorne Avenue. The rear of
building will face onto the railway track providing some noise attenuation to the residential homes on
Maple Crescent. The back wall that faces onto the railway tracks has been treated with some visual
relief. Due to the nature of the mini-warehousing and proximity to the railway tracks there are no
unprotected openings.
The applicant has included landscaping along Maple Crescent and Ditton Street. This landscaping
included pedestrian linkages from the street to the structure. Along Maple Crescent, trees are
required and have been proposed by the applicant.
c) Planning Analysis:
The applicant applied for a Development Permit for the subject property as well as, the abutting
property located at 11295 Lorne Avenue for a larger mini-warehouse. The applicant has revised the
size and design of the mini-warehouse and amended the application to only include 11307 Maple
Crescent. The proposed mini-warehouse will be located only on 11307 Maple Crescent on those
portions of the property that is zoned M-3 (Business Park) in which a mini-warehouse is a permitted
use. The proposed Mini-Warehouse complies with the zoning requirements and no variances are
requested.

i. Official Community Plan
The subject property is located within the Hammond Community and is currently designated Infill
General Employment under the Hammond Area Plan. The Hammond Area Plan is broken into four
precincts and the subject property is located within the Lower Hammond Precinct.
An Infill General Employment Development Permit is required for all new development to guide the
desired character, form and design elements to maintain and enhance the character, look and feel
of the Hammond neighbourhood.
This development respects the following components of the Infill General Employment Development
Permit Guidelines:
I. Siting:
1. All new Development should address the street with a clear and visible entrance.
“This development is primarily oriented toward Maple Crescent with similar imaging facing each of
the two flanking streets.”
2. Where possible, new developments should have a reduced or zero front yard setback.
“Building and landscaping setbacks are in compliance with the Zoning Bylaw”
3. Ensure direct pedestrian connections to the nearest public right of way and to adjacent
lots.
“Access to parking is provided within the development property.”
II. Massing
1. Avoid blank wall, where walls without windows are necessary, decorative architectural
details and materials, landscape screening, or artwork is encouraged.
“Although not a residential building, care has been taken to respect and interpret both the adjacent
residential and historic character of the neighourhood.”
2. Large developments should be articulated, include varying height and rooflines or use
decorative materials to break up the mass and scale of the building.
“In response to Council and public input as part of the earlier application the buildings articulation,
massing, building, height, and fenestration, exterior finishes and landscaping have been developed
with the intent to provide exterior visual interest while housing an effective and efficient personal
storage facility business.”
III. Parking, Access, Loading and Utility Areas
1. Locate parking areas at the side and rear of buildings.
“Parking has been provided in conformance with the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No.
4350-1990 and is located adjacent to the main façade of the building well within, and screened by
landscape setbacks and vine covered lattice.”
2. Provide areas for recycling collection, composting and waste disposal that are
appropriately sized, screened from view using an enclosure that reflects the materials and
- 4 -
architecture of the main building on site, are easily accessible and have capacity for future
expansion.
“Secure waste containment and recycling are located within the building.”
3. Provide pedestrian amenities and bicycle parking on site in a convenient and covered
location.
“Exterior bicycle racks have been located adjacent to the building’s primary entrance.”
IV. Landscaping
1. All new development should include high quality landscaping at entrances, along
pedestrian pathways.
“A high quality landscape plan has been developed which both enhances the architectural and
screen service for parking spaces.”
2. All new development should include high qyality landscaping at entrances, along
pedestrian pathways.
“Pedestrian access has been provided to the site directly from the fronting municipal sidewalk.”
V. Architectural Patterns and Materials
1. New development should incorporate architectural materials and features that reflect
Hammond’s history and/or where a more contempoirary sytle is deired, add to the unique
character of the area and exhibit a design response to the location and context.
“Historical and residential references have been integrated into this project in both form and
materials.”
ii. Zoning :
The subject property is zoned M-3 (Business Park) and C-3 (Town Centre). The proposed mini-
warehouse will be located on that portion of the property that is zoned M-3 (Business Park) which
permits mini-warehousing (Appendix "D"). That portion of the property that is zoned C-3 (Town
Centre) will be used for landscaping and parking which are permitted uses within the zone. There
are no variances requested for this project.
iii. Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 requires the following parking for
mini-warehouse use:
Use Required Stalls Provided Stalls
Mini-Warehouse 1 per 557m2 gross floor area; therefore,
6,398.3 / 557 =11.49 so 12 Stalls
12 Stalls
- 5 -
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the development plans for form and character of the
proposed development (Appendix "G" and "H") and the landscaping plans (Appendix "F") at a
meeting held on March 21, 2018. The Panel provided the following resolutions, which have since
been resolved, as outlined below by the project architect:
Replace Western Red Cedars at rear of building with smaller species such as Smaragd Cedar
or similar;
“The Cedars have been replaced with Thuja Occidentals ‘Skybound’ – Skybound Abtorvitae - to
provide a tall columnar screen along the perimeter. They are hardy, moderately drought tolerant (will
require irrigation) and will assume the tall narrow growth habit needed for buffering.”
Should the C-3 zoned portion be developed in the future, develop a contingency plan for
stormwater management should a portion or all of the bioswale be removed;
“If the C3 split-zoned area is developed in the future, it is understood that a development permit
review will include reconfiguration of the current stormwater management system.”
Consider establishing uses and a plaza to integrate vibrancy to the project as a transition
between the residential area across Maple Crescent and the subject industrial project;
“The property owner is seriously considering this possibility for the northeast (Lorne Avenue) corner
of the site.”
Consider extending a hard surface path from the western fire access to the front of the
building.
“A path has been located which connects the northeasterly exit doors to the street. Refer to current
landscape plan.”
Provide a colour and materials palette including renderings with incorporated landscaping;
“A revised colour board has been prepared and attached.”
Give further attention to the articulation detail and lighting of the rear façade;
“Spandrel glazing has been incorporated into the rear façade and significant formline texturing has
been provided allowing for differentiated painted panels. Downlighting will be installed at 12’ AFF
along with dawn-to-dusk uplighting to enhance possible future wall murals.”
Consider softening texture or materials on building façade;
“Extensive use of textured wall and roof cladding materials has been employed along with significant
horizontal and vertical building articulation. Proposed exterior colour palette is subdued with the
intent to harmonize with the neighborhood.”
- 6 -
Consider adding murals on the rear face of the building.
“This has been discussed with the owner and has received a positive response; the business
management team will reach out to the neighborhood community to solicit proactive involvement in
the development and production of possible themes and murals.”
e) Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $79,722.48, the security will be $79,722.48
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the Hammond Area Plan, Infill General Employment
Development Permit Guidelines for form and character, it is recommended that 2016-320-DP be
given favourable consideration.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2018-145-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7461 - 2018
11749 and 11761 Burnett Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties (Appendix A and B) from RS-1 (One
Family Urban Residential) to a new P-7 (Shelter and Supportive Housing) Zone (Appendix C).
The subject properties are designated Low Rise Apartment in the Official Community Plan (OCP) and
this proposal is not in compliance with this designation. An OCP amendment is required and has
been assessed based on a number of OCP and Town Centre Area (TCA) Plan policies. The project
generally is in compliance with OCP social planning and housing policies, but the challenge is in
satisfying the OCP compatibility policies.
The Development Procedures Bylaw provides for Council to grant first reading to a bylaw, with details
to be provided at second reading. To accommodate the proposed use, the Institutional P-7 Zone is
required that would allow the Shelter Use and Supportive Housing. The Shelter Use would be
permitted in the P-7 zone, but not in any other zones.
If Council decides to grant first reading, the City’s development approval process includes a
Development Information Meeting (DIM) to be held by the applicant, inviting area residents and
providing them an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback to the applicant about the
proposal. Staff is recommending a wider notification for the DIM and Public Hearing, if the necessary
readings are granted by Council. As well, an expanded newspaper ad and information mail out
package to residents in the notification area is being recommended to Council.
This project would not be subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Policy, if a Housing
Agreement is entered into with the City. There was a previous application on this site for a 64 unit
apartment building (2016-145-RZ) that was withdrawn when the subject site was acquired by BC
Housing.
In considering this report, Council has the option of granting first reading, deferral or denying this
application.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
1108
- 2 -
i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that additional consultation be require d by expanding the
notification area for the Development Information Meeting (DIM) and Public Hearing; having a
facilitator retained at the cost of the applicant to attend and observe the DIM; more detailed notice
information published in the newspaper and sent out within the notification; and implementing a
“Good Neighbour Agreement”, in respect of this matter and the early posting of the proposed Official
Community Plan amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to
comment; and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. No. 7461 - 2018 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A and E of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: BC Housing Management Commission
Legal Description: Lot 1 Except North 55 Feet, Section 17 Township 12 NWD Plan 8312;
and the North 55 Feet of Lot 1 Section 17 Township 12 NWD Plan 8312
OCP: Existing: Low-Rise Apartment
Proposed: Institutional
Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Proposed: P-7 (Shelter and Supportive Housing)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Urban Residential with Multi-Residential Zoning application
(2017-035-RZ) for a rental apartment building
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) with RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment Residential) proposed
Designation: Low-Rise Apartment
South: Use: Commercial
Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial)
Designation: Town Centre Commercial
East: Use: Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
- 3 -
West: Use: Commercial
Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial
Designation: Town Centre Commercial
Existing Use of Properties: Vacant
Proposed Use of Property: Multi-family Residential
Site Area: 0.262 HA. (0.65 acres)
Access: Burnett Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject site is flat with some mature trees and shrubs being removed for construction of the
proposed underground parking structure. The lands to the south are automotive-related commercial
that front Lougheed Highway, with access both to the Highway and Burnett Street. North is a site
consisting of two properties subject to a rezoning to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential),
which includes a Housing Agreement for a rental apartment building (2017-035-RZ). To the west is a
commercial site with a number of restaurants. Burnett Street is the eastern boundary of the Town
Centre Area. The properties to the east are Urban Residential, some with proposals to permit infill lot
subdivisions and duplexes.
c) Project Description:
This proposal is to allow a modular building with shared living space for 30 residents and a
maximum of 20 staff (Shelter), 55 private long term residential suites (Accessory Dwelling Units Use)
and underground parking (Appendix D).
The proposed building is a newer technology consisting of prefabricated units that are built in a plant
and transported to the construction site and assembled to create the proposed building. The
structure will have one level of underground parking (18 parking spaces) with the modular building
totalling four (4) storey constructed on top of it. Information about this form of construction is
attached (Appendix E).
The first level would be devoted to the shelter (separate men’s and women’s dorms ) and separate
common lounge areas. There is also space associated with the operation of the shelter by staff such
as: offices, reception, laundry room, rooms for interviews and educational programs, medical exam
room, dining and kitchen facilities.
The second through fifth levels would contain the dwelling units. Each is effectively a bachelor suite,
with a living/sleeping area, kitchenette, bathroom and closet. Common space will consist of a lounge
(on the 2nd floor), two laundry rooms (on the 2nd and the 3rd floors), a staff room (on the 2nd floor) and
a flex room (on the 4th floor).
BC Housing has provided information about the operation of the proposed facility (Appendix F).
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the OCP and
provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full
application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be
required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and
yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development
permits.
- 4 -
d) Rezoning Process:
Given the community interest in this proposal, this section is being added to the report about the City
rezoning process. The Local Government Act (LGA) is a Provincial Statute that governs the authority
and the steps City Councils must follow in the rezoning process. A City Development Procedure Bylaw
is established in accordance with the LGA, setting specific procedures for public consultation and
amending bylaws.
The process starts with the submission of an application to the City. The initial application is required
to include: a rezoning application describing the proposal, authorization by the property owner if the
applicant is different from the owner (such as a consultant, engineer, architects, etc.), payment of
the required fees, a title search and an assessment of soils for any contamination (through the
Province).
Council will consider and grant a series of readings as an application progresses through the review
process.
The first time an application is considered by Council is when Council receives a first reading report
from staff. The first reading report is intended to provide Council with very preliminary information on
an application and may include some conceptual plans. Use and density are the main parameters
Council reviews at this stage. The report also provides an overview of the application’s compliance
with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and other Council endorsed plans and policies, bylaws and
strategies, such as the Housing Action Plan.
In certain instances, an application may not fully comply with the OCP. For example, an application
may comply with certain policies in the OCP, but the use may not comply with land use designation
requirements and/or with some aspects of additional OCP policies that may also apply. In most
cases, if an application is considered by Council to be generally in compliance with the OCP and
other Council policies, the bylaw is given First Reading, and a resolution identifies all matters that
must be resolved by an applicant prior to the next steps. These next steps are Second Reading and
presentation of the application to Public Hearing.
After Public Hearing, Council considers granting Third Reading with a detailed list of terms and
conditions to be fulfilled by applicants. Once Council is satisfied all matters on the list are
satisfactorily resolved, Council grants Final Adoption to the bylaw and the property becomes rezoned.
When Council considers granting a reading to a Bylaw, Council has the authority to defeat, defer or
approve the bylaw that is before them.
e) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
Current and Potential Site Designation:
The development site is located within the East Precinct of the Town Centre Area Plan and is
currently designated Low Rise Apartment. This designation permits the RM-2 (Medium Density
Apartment) Zone; however, as described below, this zone does not accommodate the shelter
component on the first level nor is it in compliance with the OCP Land Use Designation. However,
there are a number of OCP policies that should be considered to determine whether an OCP
amendment to the Institutional designation is supportable.
- 5 -
Land Use Analysis:
A number of policies in the Official Community Plan and in the Town Centre Area Plan apply and are
analyzed as follows:
Neighborhood Context and Compatibility Policies:
OCP Policy 3 - 3 The stability of a neighbourhood’s physical character is one of the keys to a
successful community. Maple Ridge will protect residential neighbourhood character by:
b) discouraging incompatible uses.
TCA Policy 3-42 The integration of institutional uses with other uses in the community is
encouraged and will be supported based on the following criteria:
a. compatibility with adjacent uses, the neighbourhood context and natural features;
b. compatibility with the character and quality of the surrounding area;
c. located near public transit;
d. have direct access to a major corridor as identified on Figure 4 in the Maple Ridge Official
Community Plan.
OCP Policy 6 - 34 Maple Ridge will encourage the development of Neighbourhood
Commercial Centres within walking distance of neighbourhoods to service the daily
convenience shopping and service needs of residents in the local neighbourhood.
OCP Policy 4 - 31 Small scale or locally serving institutional facilities that can be located
throughout the community include: schools, community halls, parks and recreation facilities,
museums, firehalls, and places of worship. These uses will be permitted in rural and urban
areas subject to parking requirements, access, compliance with zoning bylaws, and
compatibility with adjacent land uses.
OCP Policy 4 - 33 Large Scale Institutional Facilities such as public hospitals, congregate
care facilities, and private hospitals should:
a) be within the Urban Area Boundary;
b) be conveniently located near public transit;
c) have direct access to a collector, arterial, TransLink major road or Provincial Highway as
identified in the Maple Ridge Transportation plan;
d) where considered necessary, require the completion of a transportation impact study; and
e) respect the neighbourhood context and natural features.
Assessing the above policies, the following is noted:
The project is compatible in terms of being located in the Town Centre Area; however it is
located at the edge of Town Centre Area and abuts an existing single family residential
neighborhood to the east across Burnett Street.
While the five (5) storey built form and apartment use (Accessory Dwellings) of the proposal
is appropriate on the west side of Burnett Street, the institutional nature of the application
and interface with the single family residential area to the east of Burnett Street presents
challenges in satisfying the compatibility criteria.
- 6 -
To the north, is an emerging multiple residential area, using conventional construction
techniques, but with similar height and building massing. To the west and the south, the
subject site abuts commercial designation, which is a compatible interface.
Assessing Shelter Use from a commercial land use context, the OCP allows neighbourhood
commercial centres, which are of a small scale, with stores and services for day-to-day needs
surrounding residents may access on foot. A Shelter Use is proposed to serve the wider
community and possibly the region, making a use that is not compatible with the OCP policy
for neighbourhood commercial centre land uses.
A shelter Use may also be viewed as having the characteristics of commercial
accommodations like hotels and motels. This may be consistent with the land use to the
west and south, but would not meet the compatibility requirements for the single family
residential area to the east. Nor are hotels / motels considered to be locally serving land
uses.
For large scale institutional uses, access may be by way of collector, arterial, TransLink major
road or Provincial Highway; however the policy for institutional uses in the Town Centre Area,
has the tighter restriction of access being to major corridors. The closest major corridors are
Lougheed Highway to the south and Dewdney Trunk Road to the north, but Burnett Street
provides access to these two arterials.
The compatibility of institutional uses is also to be assessed by its scale and the area it
serves. The OCP envisions some small scale or locally serving institutional facilities. Where
uses such as a local park, fire hall or elementary school each serve a single or a small group
of neighborhoods, a Shelter Use may serve a wider area of the community, thereby
challenges the intent of the compatibility policies in the OCP.
The subject site is in the vicinity of shopping, support services and transit.
Considered from another perspective, apart from the Shelter Use, the upper floors contain
accessory self-contained apartment units (Supportive Housing). This component is compatible
with the form and character multiple residential uses developed or being developed on the west
side of Burnett Street. The Shelter Use component with its support uses is compatible with the
Town Centre Area and the abutting Commercial designation to the west and south.
Housing Diversity and Social Well-being Policies:
OCP Policy 3 - 28 Maple Ridge will encourage partnerships with government and non-
government agencies to support the creation of affordable, rental and special needs housing
in the community.
OCP Policy 3 - 32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs
housing throughout the District. Where appropriate, the provision of affordable, rental, and
special needs housing will be a component of area plans.
OCP Policy 4 - 24 Maple Ridge will encourage that opportunities and services be available to
enable persons with disabilities to function independently, and will work with the Municipal
Advisory Committee on Accessibility Issues to encourage the full participation of all citizens,
in all aspects of community life.
- 7 -
OCP Policy 4 - 25 Maple Ridge supports the Regional Homelessness Plan and its guiding
principles, and will participate on Regional committees that coordinate the response to
homelessness, drug abuse and other issues noting that senior government are the primary
providers of social services.
TCA Plan Policy 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
The proposal helps to achieve many aspects of the above policies respecting partnership with
government and non-government agencies (e.g. BC Housing with the Salvation Army), provision
of special needs housing in the community, enabling persons with disabilities to function
independently and responding to homelessness.
Design Related Policies:
TCA Plan Policy 3-8 Where there are potential opportunities for designing flexibility into new
development, these will be encouraged to help the community adapt as building uses evolve
over time. Flexible design includes, but is not limited to, enabling the creation of additional
rooms in housing units for growing families, the retrofit of a housing unit for people with
disabilities, the change in use of a housing unit to a commercial unit, or viceversa.
TCA Plan Policy 3-22 All Low-Rise Apartment developments should be a minimum of three
(3) storeys and a maximum of five (5) storeys in height.
TCA Plan Policy 3-15 Concealed parking structures are encouraged in all commercial, mixed-
use, multi-family uses, and institutional uses in the Town Centre.
The modular construction being proposed is flexible and innovative as envisioned by TCA Plan
Policy 3-8. The proposal complies with the policy for development being a minimum of three (3)
storeys and a maximum of five (5) storeys in height. All parking is proposed to be concealed.
Being at a boundary between the Town Centre Area and an established neighborhood across
Burnett Street, the detailed design would need to take into carefully consideration of the
character and quality of the surroundings, as well as, shadowing of adjacent lands.
Safety and Security Policy:
OCP Policy 4 - 28 Maple Ridge supports Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
(CPTED) principles and will encourage existing and new developments to incorporate CPTED
principles and promote safety audits. Projects may be required to submit an independent
CPTED study for review early in the development review process.
TCA Plan Policy 3-16 Principles of CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design)
should be applied, particularly to the internal spaces and finishing of all parking garage
structures.
- 8 -
Normally, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles apply to buildings,
underground parking and open space on a development site. Given the feedback on earlier
public information meetings held by BC Housing, careful consideration of addressing safety and
security concerns and applying CPTED principles will need attention in developing detailed plans,
as well as, the general area surrounding the site. If this application proceeds, Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles will need to be assessed and be reflected in
any plans to address community concerns and community social sustainability. Input from the
Ridge Meadows RCMP may also be beneficial at the detailed design stage.
Housing Action Plan (HAP)
The Housing Action Plan (HAP), which was endorsed by Council in September, 2014 identified rental
housing as a priority. The HAP also speaks of the need to provide a range of non-market, affordable
and special needs housing. This was reaffirmed with the endorsement of the Housing Action Plan
Implementation Framework in September, 2015.
This proposal would be subject to a Housing Agreement. In this manner, this project could meet
some of the objectives of the Housing Action Plan. Typically, more information and details are made
available to Council as applications proceed though the review and approval process.
Citywide Community Amenity Program:
The City-wide Community Amenity (CAC) Program approved by Council on March 14, 2016 and
amended on December 12, 2017, applies to this project. Further details will be provided in the
second reading report about the voluntary contribution The project would not be subject to the
Community Amenity Contribution Policy, if a Housing Agreement is entered into with the City.
A Housing Agreement Authorization Bylaw would be brought forward to Council at second reading.
Bylaw Analysis:
Zone Amending Bylaw:
A Shelter Use is considered to be an Assembly Use, and is currently allowed in certain Commercial or
Institutional Zones; however, most of these zones would not be allowed in the Low Rise Residential
designation and only accessory one dwelling unit is permitted. Therefore, these existing zones would
not accommodate the proposed use.
The nature of a Shelter Use does differ from a typical Assembly Use in that it has some of the
characteristics of commercial motels or hotels by providing short-stay accommodations. A
commercial or service commercial zone would also not be allowed in the current designation.
Consequently, the Zoning Bylaw text needs to be amended and tailored to this proposal. The
attached amending bylaw (Appendix C) proposed to zone the subject site and create a new P-7
(Shelter and Supportive Housing) allowing three (3) permitted uses of the land, buildings and
structures:
1. Shelter Use;
2. Accessory Dwellings; and
3. Accessory Off Street Parking.
- 9 -
The Shelter Use is proposed to be defined as:
means a building or land offering temporary accommodation, at no cost to the temporary
residents, with 24 hour a day permanent staffing and support services for the temporary
residents..
By defining a Shelter Use and creating a zone that exclusively allows this use, there is clarity as to
what constitutes a Shelter Use and associated support services, and a transparent process to review
and assess applications and potential sites for such uses in the community.
For the purposes of this zone, Accessory Dwelling would be limited to independent, temporary
housing that provides support services for people who are homeless or at-risk of homelessness.
The supportive housing being proposed on the upper floors would be considered as Accessory
Dwellings. The Assembly use definition is proposed to be amended to exclude Shelter Uses, thereby
making the P-7 Zone the only zone that can accommodate Shelters.
The proposed P-7 zone, apart from parking, has been crafted to accommodate the submitted
conceptual plans for the proposed Shelter and Supportive Housing. A Traffic Study would be required
before second reading to establish an appropriate requirement for the number of parking spaces,
The new zone reflects the building being sited at 4.5 meters rather than the typical 7.5 meters from
the front lot line. However, other new apartment buildings in this area have has the same reduced
setback. Other than the front setbacks, the regulations for the P-7 zone are generally consistent with
the other Institutional zones.
It should be noted, by establishing a definition and a zone, that existing shelter use in the City may
be rendered non-conforming. Where they exist, their status would need to be determined on a case-
by-case basis assessing a number matters, including zoning, licensing and the provisions in the
Local Government Act respecting non-conforming uses.
Any departures from the P-7 zone regulations proposed in more detailed plans submitted in the
future for this proposal would require a Development Variance Permit application.
OCP Amending Bylaw:
Therefore, to accommodate this approach, the following OCP amendments would be necessary:
The OCP and Town Centre Area Zone Matrix be amended to add the new P-7 zone; and
The subject site be redesignated to Institutional.
The necessary OCP Amending bylaw would be brought forward to Council as part of a future second
reading report.
This approach provides for sufficient transparency in considering the merits of specific locations to
be designated for Institutional designations and it would be clear that only the P-7, not any other
zones permitting Assembly Uses, could accommodate a Shelter Use on Institutional designated
lands.
- 10 -
Development Permits and Advisory Design Panel Submission:
Institutional zoned projects are not subject to an OCP Section 8.11 a Town Centre Development
Permit (Downtown East) application. However, development permit level supporting plans and
details and a submission to the Advisory Design Panel will be required to proceed to second reading.
Council may also wish to have this project subject to a more rigorous and expanded level of
assessment in relation to Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and its
recommendation respecting the design of the building and its relationship to the surroundings. The
ADP and Ridge Meadows RCMP would both be consulted on incorporating safety and security
through the design of the proposal.
Proposed Construction Technology:
The project is proposed to be a structure assembled from pre-constructed components
manufactured off site and transported to the site for assembly. Appendix E is a publication available
from BC Housing that provides more details about this innovative construction approach.
From the project Architect, we understand the steps and the timeline, some of which could overlap
following the site being rezoned would be:
Six (6) months to prepare and submit Building Permit plans;
A 12 – 18 month tendering and selection process to award and have the components
manufactured.
About one (1) year for the foundation, assembling the building and completing landscaping,
etc.
Unlike the temporary housing buildings in the Vancouver area recently subject to news reports, this
is not designed to allow disassembly and being moved. It is a permanent building.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
Requirements under the Local Government Act:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that the consultation be expanded beyond the usual early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting (DIM) is required to be held by the applicant for this application
in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. This has three components:
Notifying neighbours within a certain distance of an application site;
Placing a newspaper ad in 2 consecutive newspapers issues stating the date, time and
location of the DIM; and
Mailing a notice to all households in the notification area.
Given given the nature of this proposal, Council may choose to consider: (1) broadening the
notification process; and (2) establishing an ongoing mechanism for the surrounding residents to
communicate with the operator on matters of concern as follows:
- 11 -
Increase the DIM and Public Hearing Notification Area: Council has required for some
previous projects an expanded area of notification for the developer-hosted Development
Information Meeting (DIM) and by the City for the Public Hearing. It is recommended that
Council require the notification area be doubled from the 100 to 200 metres;
More Prominent Notice in Local Newspapers: Council may also wish to have the developer
provide a DIM newspaper notice larger and with a greater level of detail than currently
required. If Council desires this, staff would work with the applicant accordingly;
More Mailed Out Information: In addition to the wider notification area, Council may wish for
more information and a survey response process to be included in the developer mail out to
residents. Something like the materials attached in Appendix F may be appropriate in this
regard.
Neutral Observer / Facilitator at DIM: Council’s policy allows staff to attend a DIM as an
observer at the cost of the applicant. In this instance, Council may wish to have a
professional facilitator retained by the City at the applicant’s cost, to attend the DIM and to
submit a report about the discussions and concerns raised.
Long Term Community Consultation: Council may further wish to require the operator to have
a “Good Neighbour Agreement” possibly being incorporated into a Housing Agreement, a
condition of rezoning, some other legal instrument and/or through Business licencing. This
would be structured to ensure the continuance of a high operational standard, a higher level
of transparency and to ensure a quickly and effectively mechanism to mitigate potential
impacts on the surrounding community is in place.
Such an agreement could include terms such as the following:
a. promoting regular communications between the operator, the City and neighbours;
b. insuring safety and security standards are maintained;
c. establishing a regular review process to adjust the agreement as may be required to
address issues and concerns;
d. having a structure and process for the resolution of conflicts; and
e. requiring a 24-hour contact “hotline”.
The applicant is required to host this Development Information Meeting prior to Second Reading,
have the “Good Neighbour Agreement” available before the Public Hearing and formalise it before
final adoption.
g) 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) Ridge Meadows RCMP;
f) Utility companies;
g) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure;
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.
- 12 -
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.
h) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); and
3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E).
In addition, detailed information equivalent to a normal Town Centre Development Permit Application
(Schedule D), Stormwater Management Plan, a CEPTED Analysis including security for the
surrounding areas, a “Good Neighbour Agreement”, expanded notification, a Housing Agreement and
Traffic Study as described in this report dated May 22, 2018 is to be submitted prior to second
reading.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
ALTERNATIVES:
Council’s alternatives to proceeding with this application as submitted include:
Proceed with the project and grant first reading to create the P-7 zone and rezoning the
subject site to the new P-7 zone as submitted; or
Defer a decision until more detailed information is provided by the applicant as described
earlier in this report; or
Not to proceed; or
Proceed with only the Supportive Housing component as a principal use (Apartment Use)
under RM-2 zoning, which is permitted under the current OCP designation. No OCP
redesignation would be required.
CONCLUSION:
This application requires the creation of a new P-7 (Shelter and Supportive Housing) Zone.
Consequently, this rezoning application does not comply with the current Low Rise Apartment
designation; however the proposal is in alignment with several OCP social and housing policies .
Therefore, a redesignation to Institutional to accommodate the zone can be justified if Council
chooses to redesignate the subject site.
Though the proposal complies with OCP social and housing policies, the proposal does not fully
comply with OCP policies for compatibility with surrounding areas. The interface to the commercial
areas in the Town Centre to the West and south is compatible; however, it is not compatible with the
established residential neighbourhood on the outskirts of the Town Centre Area to the east across
Burnett Street due to the institutional and the commercial nature of the proposed Shelter Use.
This report also recommends to Council an expanded public consultation process and a “Good
Neighbour Agreement” to be utilized if this application proceeds.
- 13 -
The Procedural Bylaw provides a mechanism for Council to grant first reading with details of projects
to be provided prior to second reading or defer or defeat this application. If Council decides to
proceed with this application, pursuant to the Procedural Bylaw, staff recommends that Council grant
First Reading, subject to additional information as described in this report being provided by the
applicant and assessed by staff prior to Second Reading.

Modular and Prefabricated Housing
Ideas, Innovations, and Considerations to Improve Affordability, Efficiency,
and Quality
Background
Modular and prefabricated units are built on an assembly
line in a plant and transported to the construction site.
Prefab or modular building systems can have advantages
over traditional on-site construction:
Site work can happen at the same time as units
are being built in the plant;
Units can be built when weather does not allow
outdoor construction;
Efficiencies and manufacturing principles
realized on the assembly line can result in savings;
and
Because units are built indoors and closely
supervised they can be of higher quality.
However, there are also a variety of potential challenges
with modular and prefabricated construction:
Modular units and prefabricated systems may
have to travel long distances to the site, which can
be costly or lead to damage;
Modular and prefabricated units are typically lifted
off the truck and on to the foundation with a crane,
which can be expensive;
On-site integration of units, systems or pods can be a
challenge, and there can be scope gaps;
If units or systems get damaged on route or
deficiencies are noticed once the unit is on-site, it
can be ambiguous whether site labour or the plant is
responsible for making the repairs; and
Modular units using standard designs may not work
in all climates and mistakes in the design can be
repeated on the fast moving assembly line.
The Real Estate Institute of BC, the Manufactured Housing
Association of BC and BC Housing with funding from the
Real Estate Foundation of BC wished to identify ideas,
practices, and innovations to overcome these challenges
and help maximize the potential benefits of modular
and prefabricated construction for housing. This report
examines eight research questions:
1.Unit design and construction: What are practices
in the modular and prefabricated design and
construction process to improve the time efficiencies
and cost effectiveness?
2.Materials: What are the materials that can improve
affordability, sustainability and performance?
3.Transportation: What are options for transporting
modular and prefabricated housing units to
development sites to ensure the process is as time
efficient and cost effective as possible?
APPENDIX E
Page 2
4. Housing Form: What types of modular and
prefabricated buildings are proving affordable,
efficient and durable? What innovations are being
made?
5. On-site: What are the options for on-site integration
of modular and prefabricated housing units at
development sites to ensure the process is as time
efficient and cost effective as possible?
6. Emergency Lodging: What are lessons learned
around using modular and prefabricated construction
for temporary housing for those displaced during a
natural disaster?
7. BC Climatic Appropriateness: Are the best practices
identified through this study appropriate for BC’s
climate and landscape?
8. Sustainability: What are best practices to maximize
the environmental sustainability of modular and
prefabricated housing units during the construction
phase and in terms of energy consumption once the
units are occupied?
This report provides an overview of what was identified
in the literature. The report is only meant to provide a
summary of the literature. It is important to note that
each project is unique and options covered in this report
will not work in all situations.
This information may be helpful to the residential
modular and prefab construction industry as it provides
a scan of emerging ideas and some best practices. This
report can also be used by housing organizations who are
considering the use of modular and prefab construction
as background reading to inform discussions with
designers, site construction workers, and modular or
prefabrication plants.
Examples of ideas and practices to maximize the
potential benefits of modular construction and prefab, as
well as address some of the challenges include:
Unit Design and Construction
Project integration techniques such as use of BIM
and inclusion of the on-site construction team in
pre-planning stages can help prevent mistakes or
integration issues;
Efficiencies may be realized on the assembly line
through practices such as automation, twinning
production lines, running 24 hour shifts, building
modules from the inside out, and automating parts of
the assembly line; and
Tools that increased the chances of success on a
modular or manufactured project – particularly
larger, more complex projects, include: Modular
Test Fit (MTF), Building Information Modeling (BIM),
Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD-
CAM), and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) in
manufacturing. These are part of the integrated
design and project delivery processes (IDP, IPD).
Materials
Composite wood materials (engineered and
manufactured wood-based products such as
engineered joists, beams, and wall and floor system)
can offer increased strength, as well as faster building
times and lower carbon emissions;
Despite being combustible, heavy timber and
panelized wood products can be designed to have
good fire performance, due to the char layer that
forms to protect remaining wood from fire;
Panelized building systems can lead to faster
construction time, increased thermal and structural
performance and lowered labour costs; however,
some panels may have challenges around increased
capital costs, sound performance, off-gassing, the
need for specialized trades, and special procedures to
ensure joints are sealed appropriately;
Page 3
Using the structural properties of mass timber
systems can provide reliable, affordable, high
performance buildings on an accelerated schedule
and have potential for mid- and high-rise;
Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) can be used in wood
curtain wall instead of the conventional mullions,
reducing the environmental footprint of the building
and supporting local economies;
Steel framed modules can provide increased
durability and have been used in recent projects with
non-standard modules (i.e. all modules were not
identical);
Agricultural and landscaping materials, such as
modular green roofs and green wall panels, are being
used to offer lower greenhouse gas emissions and
improved indoor air quality;
Recycled-content and reused materials are being
used in modular and prefab products to increase its
sustainability; challenges include off-gassing and
ensuring materials are non-toxic;
New materials are emerging that meet rigorous
health, sustainability and durability standards such as
BuiltGreen, LEED and the Living Building Challenge;
and
Shipping containers have been used as student
residences, offices, hotels, malls, affordable housing,
shelters, and emergency lodging.
Transportation
Air bag lift systems can be used where CSA Z-240.10.1
foundations are approved in the place of expensive
cranes;
Barges can be used to transport multiple units at a
time to coastal areas, to save time and money; and
Space saving structures such as prefab panels,
stackable or folding modules, can be more efficient to
transport by truck.
Housing Form
Modular units can be combined side-by-side or
top and bottom to create larger or more units or to
extend existing buildings;
In taller, steel-framed modular projects, after roughly
ten floors of modular, there is a need for a concrete
or steel core to act as structural support against
wind, seismic and other loads. In taller mass timber
projects, structural support cores (housing utilities,
elevator and stairs) can be created with hybrid
systems including wood, steel and concrete, or
concrete and steel; and
Modular and prefabricated construction has been
used for six-storey and high rise multi-unit buildings,
dormitories or work camps, micro units, and flex
housing.
On-site Assembly
3D designs and pilot modules can help ensure
alignment of mechanical, plumbing, electrical
connections between modules; and
Documenting covered connections through digital
pictures or bar code scans can help inspectors find
hidden elements and on-site labour do connections
without damage to the unit.
Page 4
Emergency Lodging
Lightweight yet sturdy materials mean cranes may
not be necessary;
Foldable, stackable, or panelized units can be stored
for immediate use after disaster and can be reused
(following other disasters) if properly stored;
Hinged walls and simple locking systems allow for
fast assembly without skilled labour;
Units should have hook ups that are compatible with
transportable electrical/mechanical units;
If units are not in storage, pre-existing agreements
with private manufactures to prioritize emergency
lodging units can speed delivery after disaster;
Built in solar hot water or solar electrical panels can
offer affordable, on-site services;
Walls should be built with thermal materials to
protect residents from extreme weather, as there will
likely be little opportunity to install insulation once
on-site;
Moveable partitions as walls allow floor plans
to be repurposed depending on the household
composition of displaced residents or other space
needs at the site;
Using some modular units to create common indoor
space (e.g. for day care, classrooms, or recreational
areas) in transitional housing can help create a sense
of community;
Pre-testing unit designs before a disaster strikes can
help ensure units are comfortable;
If permanent housing construction takes longer than
anticipated, units can be adjustable so that they can
be connected through exterior openings to create
larger units; and
Temporary shelter is ideally built of durable materials
and built to meet code requirements so that it can
offer an option for permanent housing.
BC Climatic Appropriateness
Multiple new innovative materials and systems such
as panelized wall and floor systems, heat recovery
systems, in-floor heating, and high performing
windows and doors for all climates provide a wide
variety of choices of high performance modular and
prefab buildings for all BC climates.
Sustainability: Not Just Efficiency
Sustainable modular and prefabricated buildings
can include solar ready, Passive House designs,
built-in renewable energy, socially and ecologically
sustainable materials, water harvesting and water
reuse such as embedded rainwater harvesting,
greywater and water reuse systems as well as built-in
composting toilets, innovative energy systems and
super insulated envelopes.
On the next page is a summary of some ideas, practices,
and innovations referenced in this report, which
potentially address challenges and maximize benefits of
modular construction. Beside each idea, practice, and
innovation is an icon or icons to suggest how the idea,
practice, or innovation might help optimize modular
construction (e.g. improve affordability, timelines or
efficiency, sustainability, or quality). The legend in the
centre of the graphic below defines each icon. This
graphic is not a comprehensive overview, but rather just
suggestions about how the idea, practice, or innovation
might contribute to optimizing modular construction.

SUBJECT: Award of Contract ITT-EN18-19: 20300 Block of Hampton Street – Utility and
Road Construction, Local Area Service
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 1882, Port Hammond was created as a subdivision, although municipal services were not
constructed. Over time, roads and municipal services were extended as properties developed but
the 20300 Block of Hampton Street was not serviced and the lots remain vacant.
On June 6, 2016, staff received a formal Local Area Service (LAS) petition for the 20300 Block of
Hampton Street to construct the road, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main and the
Corporate Officer determined that the formal petition was sufficient and valid. On November 8,
2016, Council authorized staff to retain an engineering consultant to design and manage the
construction of the 20300 Block of Hampton Street LAS.
Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. was selected to complete the design for the extension of Hampton
Street north of Eltham. The work generally consists of 110 lineal metres of road extension, including
ditches, concrete sidewalk, water mains, storm and sanitary sewers.
An Invitation to Tender was issued on February 23, 2018 and closed on April 3, 2018. Six compliant
tenders were received and the lowest bid was submitted by Summit Earthworks Inc. in the amount of
$806,462.50, excluding taxes.
The original estimated total cost of the 20300 Block of Hampton LAS for the utility and road
construction presented on the formal petition was $815,707.58 (which included construction costs
of $615,000.00). The consultant identified significant challenges with the site that resulted in
additional construction costs of $200,000.00, ttherefore increasing the total estimated project cost
to $1,015,000.00, all of which is to be borne by the property owners. A revised Formal Petition
reflecting these additional costs was circulated to the six property owners and the majority signed
the petition to proceed with the LAS.
Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed.

b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome of this report is to obtain Council approval to award and proceed
with the utility and road construction.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The Corporate Strategic Plan directs staff to provide high quality municipal services to
our customers in a cost effective and efficient manner and to continue to use a user -pay
philosophy. Utilizing the LAS legislation and process is one method that the City can use
to partner and provide services with neighborhoods in alignment with the Corporate
Strategic Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The property owners identified on the certified formal petition are responsible for all
project related costs identified at project completion. When the final costs are
determined, the owners will be offered the option to either pay the actual ‘commuted’
cost as a single payment or have the cost placed on the tax roll and amortized over a
period of 15 years at the interest rate set by the Municipal Finance Authority (MFA) and
the Finance Department.
The original estimated total cost of the 20300 Block of Hampton LAS for the utility and
road construction presented on the formal petition was $815,707.58 (which included
construction costs of $615,000.00). The consultant identified significant challenges
with the site that resulted in additional construction costs of $200,000.00, therefore
increasing the total estimated project cost to $1,015,000.00, all of which is to be borne
by the property owners. A revised Formal Petition reflecting these additional costs was
circulated to the six property owners and the majority signed the petition to proceed with
the LAS.
The LAS will provide a sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water connections at the property
line. In order to complete and commission the services, owners will then need to install,
at their cost, a connection from the residence to the service connections at the pr operty
line.
Construction will commence soon after the project is awarded. A Communications Plan
will be developed to inform residents and the general public of the project construction
progress.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:

SUBJECT: Award of Contract ITT-EN18-21: 232 Street Road and Drainage Improvements
(132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
232 Street between 132 Avenue and Silver Valley Road is a major corridor into Silver Valley and a s
development progresses the traffic demands on 232 Street will continue to increase. The 232
Street Road and Drainage Improvements (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road) project is in the City’s
approved Financial Plan to construct to a two-lane multi-modal urban roadway configuration with
safe pedestrian and cycling facilities with accommodation for equestrian users. A portion of the
environmental works for this project, the relocation of Paradise Creek was successfully completed in
2017. Additional off-site environmental works will be completed at Blaney Hamlet Park in 2019
under a separate contract to meet the environmental compensation requirements.
The 232 Street (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road) project entails upgrading the existing roadway to a
two lane multi-modal urban roadway and includes roadway construction, embankment fill, retaining
walls, reconstruction and extension of driveways onto private properties, multi-use path, sidewalk,
curbs, a southbound bike lane, ducting for future fibre optic cable, LED street lighting, a roundabout
at 132 Avenue, storm sewer, ditch infill and an environmental compensation channel adjacent to the
Alouette River. The project construction is anticipated to commence in late May 2018 with
substantial completion by January 2019. A road closure in the area from 132 Avenue to 136 Avenue
is planned for a period of up to two months, during July and August, to increase production and
realize cost saving to the City and minimize overall inconvenience to residents. During the road
closure, access through the corridor will be maintained for TransLink buses, residents fronting the
project and heavy construction vehicles accessing Silver Valley that are not permitted to cross the
bridge on 224 Street. The road closure will not affect access to Yennadon Elementary School. All
efforts will be made to minimise the duration of the road closure and residents will be regularly
informed of the project status through the project’s communication plan.
Reconstruction of an existing roadway is challenging as the design had to recognize and
accommodate the existing road profile, utilities as well as established dwellings. In the case of 232
Street the existing road grade is greater than that allowed in current design standards, is underlain
in parts by bedrock and there is variation in elevation across the road allowance. The engineering
consultant created and evaluated multiple road profiles in an effort to balance all of the elements,
utilizing the maximum allowable grades but there is a portion of the roadway that will require the
construction of retaining walls at the property lines along with the reconstruction and re-profiling of
driveways onto private properties.
Since the early stages of the design a property consultant has been working with each impacted
property owner to resolve issues around temporary access onto private property to construct the
retaining walls as well as the re-profiling of the driveways. Out of a total of 32 affected properties,
31 have signed off on a Temporary Construction Access Agreement (TCAA) and the City is continuing
to work with the property owner to achieve signoff on the outstanding property. This also includes 4
Statutory Right-of-Ways and 1 Road Dedication.

An Invitation to Tender was issued on March 13, 2018 and closed on April 13, 2018. Two tenders
were received and the lowest compliant bid was submitted by “MRC Total Build LP by its General
Partner MRC Total Build Ltd.” (MRC) in the amount of $5,079,856.94, excluding taxes. The total
project costs are within the approved budget, including a construction contingency of $800,000.00
that is recommended due to the complexity of the work and will only be utilized if required to address
unforeseen issues throughout construction. The project also involves third party utility relocations,
electrical, geotechnical, environmental monitoring, construction compliance reviews, contract
administration and construction inspection. It is recommended the design consultant, McElhanney
Consulting Services Ltd. (McElhanney) be retained for construction inspection and contract
administration services due to the complexity of the project.
The construction contract is structured such that if subdivision developments on 232 Street north of
136 Avenue that are currently under construction do not complete their underground works in
advance of the City’s project as scheduled, then the roadworks component of this project will
terminate at 136 Avenue in 2018. The roadworks between 136 Avenue and Silver Valley road would
then be completed under a separate capital construction contract in 2019. Should these scheduling
conflicts arise, delaying the roadworks north of 136 Avenue will minimize disruptions to Silver Valley
residents and minimize the need for development projects adjacent to 232 Street to disturb a newly
constructed roadway to install servicing in the near future.
The City has submitted an application (award is pending) to Bike BC for $879,012.19 for cycling
infrastructure grant funding for projects that support Regional Cycling Corridors by creating efficient
and safe direct travel routes. The City has secured grant funding from TransLink in the amount of
$251,340.00 in support of regional bike needs and will be accessing Gas Tax funding for
$270,000.00.
Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract ITT-EN18-21, 232 Street Road and Drainage Improvements (132 Avenue to Silver
Valley Road), be awarded to MRC Total Build LP by its General Partner MRC Total Build Ltd. in the
amount of $5,079,856.94 excluding taxes; and
THAT a construction contingency of $800,000.00 be approved to address potential variations in field
conditions; and
THAT the McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. contract for Engineering Design Services for 232
Street Preliminary and Detailed Design (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road), be amended to increase
the budget by $420,000.00 for contract administration, construction inspection and support
services during construction to a total of $735,855.00; and further
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contracts.

Utility relocations by third parties including BC Hydro, Telus, Shaw and Fortis are required
as part of the project and are included in the total project costs.
Tender Evaluation
An Invitation to Tender was issued on March 13, 2018 for the 232 Street Road and
Drainage Improvements (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road) and closed on April 13,
2018. Two compliant tenders were received as noted below:
Tender Price
(excluding taxes)
MRC Total Build LP by its General Partner
MRC Total Build Ltd. (MRC) $5,079,856.94
B&B Contracting (2012) Ltd. $6,168,600.00
Staff have reviewed the tenders and the lowest compliant bid is $5,079,856.94 from
MRC. They have completed a number of projects on municipal roadways and are suitably
qualified to complete the works. Reference checks were completed to confirm MRC is
capable of completing the project successfully and feedback from other clients was
positive.
Consultant Construction Services
Staff recommend that given the complex nature of the topography, private property
alterations, third party utility relocations, environmental mitigation and drainage
elements of the project, on-site field reviews and monitoring by the design consultant,
that McElhanney be retained to satisfy Engineer of Record requirements. Furthermore,
McElhanney be retained to provide contract administration and construction inspection
services for the project.
McElhanney’s property consultant has also been working with the 232 Street residents
since July 2017 to develop Temporary Construction Access Agreements to facilitate
construction, and will continue this role as liaison with residents.
Included in the construction services provided by McElhanney is the specialized support
of an environmental consultant (McElhanney), a geotechnical consultant (Braun
Geotechnical) and an electrical consultant (DMD) to provide support during construction.
McElhanney has provided an estimate for these services in the amount of $420,000.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome of this report is to obtain Council approval to award the contract to
re-construct 232 Street between 132 Avenue and Silver Valley Road that will provide
significant improvements to safety, convenience and accessible movement of people,
goods and services. This project will also provide a strong multi-modal transportation
system by promoting alternative modes (pedestrian, bike) of travel to reduce reliance on
the automobile.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The improvements on 232 Street will contribute to the development of a multi-modal
transportation system and provide enhanced pedestrian and cycling facilities as
recommended in the Strategic Transportation Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Since the early stages of the design project a property consultant has been working with
each impacted property owner to resolve issues around temporary access onto private
property to construct the retaining walls as well as the re-profiling of the driveways. Out of
a total of 32 affected properties, 31 have signed off on a Temporary Construction Access
Agreement (TCAA) and the City is continuing to work with the property owner to achieve
signoff on the outstanding property.
A Communication Plan has been developed with the City’s Manger of Corporate
Communications, which will include the general public being informed of the construction
progress through the City’s website, social media sources and electronic information
boards at key locations. The estimated construction duration is approximately eight
months (160 working days) with construction commencing approximately two weeks
after the project is awarded.
The impact to local traffic, residents, and businesses in the neighbourhood will be
minimized as much as possible. 232 Street will remain open to general traffic
throughout construction with the exception of up to a two month road closure
commencing in July 2018; all effort will be made to minimize the closure period. During
this scheduled closure, general traffic will be detoured via Foreman Drive and 224
Street; however, access through the corridor will be provided to residents within the
project limits, transit buses, garbage/recycling collection and trucks weighing over 32
tonnes. Outside of the road closure, work on roadways and interruption of traffic is
prohibited during peak traffic periods of 6:00am – 9:00am and 3:00pm – 6:00pm.
Single lane alternating traffic will be maintained at all times unless approved otherwise in
the Traffic Management Plan.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering, Operations, Planning (Environmental Services) and Parks Departments
have provided input during the design and City resources will be utilized where possible
in the interests of cost effectiveness and efficiencies.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The projected expenditures (excluding taxes) are within the existing approved budget and

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Proposed Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw No. 7437-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the May 15, 2018 Council Workshop, Council discussed measures to address wildlife/public
interfaces and in particular the recent increase bear/public interfaces. The purpose of this report is
a proposed new bylaw to enhance the Wildsafe status of the City of Maple Ridge. The proposed
bylaw will provide for more comprehensive measures to ensure the protection of wild animals as well
as prevent against the spread of infectious diseases by animals within the City of Maple Ridge. This
will also reduce the incidents of human/wildlife contact.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Bylaw No. 7437-2018 be given first, second and third reading.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Maple Ridge continues to grow and develop east and northward which is affecting the wildlife
habitat. With new residents moving into these areas, ongoing education and compliance
action are required. The goal is to raise awareness on how to avoid potential wildlife conflict
and how to manage attractants.
Currently, Conservation Officers work together with the Ridge Meadows Recycling
Environmental Educator to target interface areas with regular evening inspections. These
inspections focus on the education component by providing informational flyers. In the case
of repeat offenders, Conservation Officers or potentially Bylaw Officers will issue tickets.
From 2012 to 2017 there has been a decrease in the number of bears destroyed with
Council’s implementation of Wildsafe programs in 2012 but the goal is to improve on this
further. More recently in 2018 there appears to be an increase in the number of bear/public
interfaces.
Bylaw Officers have also had to deal with complaints of garbage from insecure containers
being dragged onto adjoining properties which then means that property owners are having
to clean up garbage that they did not generate.
1111
Page 2 of 2
b) Desired Outcome(s):
Maple Ridge is well on the way to having a Bear Smart Community designation and this
proposed bylaw will bring the City into line with the program designed by the Ministry of
Environment, the BC Conservation Foundation and UBCM.
The proposed bylaw will ensure that there will be less opportunity for garbage and wildlife
attractants to be present in neighbourhoods as well as decreasing the chances of dangerous
animals entering residential areas. Because of the recent rise in bear/public interfaces, the
City will be diligent in pursuing compliance with the bylaws.
CONCLUSIONS:
Adopting this bylaw should not seriously inconvenience any residents and will ensure that the City of
Maple Ridge is making every effort to keep the Municipality clean. Staff have researched other local
municipalities that have similar waste control bylaws and local governments like Mission, Port
Coquitlam, Port Moody, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and Squamish have adopted
or will be adopting a similar bylaw.

and Members of Council DOC NO: 1929994
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Regular Council
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Sport Network
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Parks, Recreation & Culture (PRC) staff have been meeting with key individuals, sport groups, and
agency partners to share the Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity Strategy (‘the Strategy’)
(Attachment 1) adopted by Council on June 26, 2016, and to facilitate the formation of the Maple
Ridge Sport Network. Proposed Terms of Reference (Attachment 2) have been developed through
consultation with the newly formed Sport Network. With Council’s endorsement of the Terms of
Reference, the Sport Network will proceed with the development of an implementation plan for the
Strategy, including potential budget considerations, for Council’s review.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Sport Network Terms of Reference be endorsed and that staff report back with the Sport
Network’s proposed Sport and Physical Activity Strategy implementation plan.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity Strategy was endorsed by Council in 2016 and is
intended to guide collaborative discussions on the growth and sustainability of sport
leadership and skill development in the community. A number of Sport Strategy action items
have been accomplished since endorsement. Recent accomplishments include:
•Incorporated physical literacy concepts into children’s recreation programs offered by
the City of Maple Ridge;
•Provided extensive consultations with user groups on recreation infrastructure projects;
•Held community sport workshops and education opportunities on a number of topics,
including National Coaching Certifications, concussion management sessions and non-
profit board management;
•In partnership with School District 42, facilitated Active Noon Hour programs at 5
elementary schools to increase physical literacy and active participation.
1151
REPORT: Maple Ridge Sport Network Page 2 of 3
Date: May 22, 2018
A priority goal of the Sport Strategy is the development of a Sport and Physical Activity
Network, consisting of representative of various agencies and community sport stakeholders
that would have a key role in providing leadership and input toward the implementation of
Strategy actions. The newly formed Network is growing into a broad and diverse group,
currently with representatives from 15 different sports, Pacific Sport Fraser Valley, Fraser
Health Authority and School District 42. The Sport Network will serve as an advisory function
for Council and will drive initiatives endorsed through the business planning process. The
Sport Network will provide Council with progress updates on these initiatives and the
outcomes of the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy goals twice annually. The attached
Terms of Reference outline the vision, mandate, governance structure of the Sport Network,
and includes the process to apply for membership. With Council’s endorsement of the Terms
of Reference, the Sport Network’s first major project will be to develop the implementation
plan for the Strategy’s priority goals and actions.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is the successful implementation of the priority goals outlined in the
Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity Strategy as guided by the Sport Network.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The establishment of the Sport Network aligns with the endorsed Sport and Physical Activity
Strategy and the Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The membership of the Sport Network encompasses a diverse group of individuals. In
addition to City staff, School District 42 and Fraser Health Authority representatives, current
members from the sport community include Albion Football Club, WestCoast Autogroup
Football Club, Golden Ears Athletics, Golden Ears Winter Club, Maple Ridge Figure Skating
Club, Maple Ridge Tennis Club, Ridge Meadows Burrards, Ridge Meadows Minor Baseball,
Ridge Meadows Minor Hockey, Ridge Meadows Canoe and Kayak Club, Bateson Martial Arts,
Maple Ridge Squash Club, Haney Neptunes Swim Club, Haney Seahorses Swim Club and
Jeong’s Taekwondo.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Support from staff is required to ensure City representation as a key stakeholder in sport,
health and wellness in the community, and to facilitate progress on the Strategy actions and
goals. Staff will help ensure the members at the table are adequately meeting the
membership application criteria, established Terms of Reference and will play a key role in
providing support should concerns or issues arise. The Network membership is expected to
grow and develop in the first year, and staffs role is an advisory or liaison role that provides
support to the Sport Network, much like the existing Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie
Community Network or Seniors Network.
REPORT: Maple Ridge Sport Network Page 3 of 3
Date: May 22, 2018
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
PRC was successful in receiving a $30,000 start-up grant in July 2017 through Fraser
Health/BC Alliance for Healthy Living. The funding has been used to support the Network
through additional staff time and key initiatives; however, a long term solution for ongoing
support to the Sport Network will be required. This and any other financial implications
related to the Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity Strategy implementation plan will be
brought forward for Council’s consideration as part of the 2019-2023 Business Plan process.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Maple Ridge Sport Network is composed of passionate community members working alongside
City staff, SD42 and FHA to advance sport and recreation in this community. The Sport Network will
work to foster greater collaboration amongst groups, contribute to the future training of athletes,
coaches and volunteers, support programs that provide fundamental movement skills, and promote
inclusivity and diversity across the Maple Ridge sport community.

Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
The City of Maple Ridge is deeply rooted in
sport participation and excellence. Situat-
ed between majestic mountains, rivers and
lakes, and having plenty of parks, trails,
sports fields and indoor facilities, there are
numerous opportunities to participate in ac-
tivity.
With over 80 organized Sport Clubs (profit
and non-profit) in the community, emerging
and well established sport organizations
abound as is evident when one enters the
bustling arenas, gymnasiums, fields, sport
boxes, courts and pools throughout the year.
These locations become much more than
just a playing surface; it is where children of-
ten score their first goal, where parents and
caregivers can socially connect and share
stories, and where coaches guide and men-
tor youth, instilling confidence, teamwork
and commitment to our youngest residents.
Sport helps build strong, connected commu-
nities where participation and fun are the ul-
timate outcome.
The Maple Ridge Physical Activity Strategy
(“the strategy”) was developed to create a
roadmap for discussion, action and change;
taking sport to that ‘next level’ and to con-
tinue the dialogue of prioritizing health and
activity as paramount in community well be-
ing. The development included community
sport leaders in a collaborative, engaging
consultation process that was rooted in com-
munity development principles. Recognizing
community sport is largely delivered by way
of local sport organizations (both formal and
informal), schools, non-profit groups, private
business, engaged and passionate citizens,
and educators and through the municipal
recreation department, drawing on these sec-
tors formed the foundation of the team that
contributed to the strategy. As was evident in
this process, sport plays a vital role in build-
ing social capital, connected community net-
works and life-long relationships.
These sport, health and education sec-
tors together align to create a participation

continuum where residents of all ages may
participate in sport or be physically active
throughout their lifespan and becoming AC-
TIVE FOR LIFE. According to the Participation
Report Card on Physical Activity for Children
and Youth, 77% of kids ages 5-19 participate
in organized physical activity or sport.* How-
ever this same report notes participation in
organized physical activities and sport is no-
tably lower among girls, children and youth
with a developmental disability. An outcome
of this strategy is to identify and address bar-
riers and continue to provide opportunities
for every resident to be physically active and
further increase sport participation. Physical
literacy was added as a new indicator and
measured in the report card, and a base
line developed by which to measure for fu-
ture years. Nonetheless, education and infor-
mation describing and informing parents on
physical literacy is a top priority recommend-
ed by both the report card and as well within
this strategy.
The implementation of the strategy will rely
on the foundation of which it was built. It ac-
knowledges that community leaders, School
District 42, local health agencies, physical

Activity for Children and Youth http://

activity advocate agencies and the Parks and
Recreation Department will drive the actions
forward and this living document will be up-
dated as new commitments, initiatives and
partnerships are developed.
Existing relationships both new and long
standing formed the foundation of the devel-
opment of a steering committee that initiat-
ed the process with the development of the
strategy vision:
VISION Statement:
For present and future sport and physical ac-
tivity: Maple Ridge will strengthen our commu-
nity by providing lifelong sport and physical
activity opportunities so that all residents may
experience the joy of participating in sport,
and achieve their full potential in the areas of
sport skill development, excellence and sport
leadership.

Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
The commitment to open communication,
collaboration and the desire to be involved
in the creation of a collective plan to support
sport and physical activity resulted in numer-
ous sport champions having involvment in
various stages of the creation of this docu-
ment. It is with these groups and the com-
mitment to continue with the passion and
momentum that the strategy goals and ac-
tions will come to life.
The Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity
Strategy consist of seven priority goal state-
ments that guide the overall direction of the
strategy. The 7 goals are:
Goal # 1
Strengthen interaction between sport deliv-
ery agencies
Goal # 2
Enhance Physical Literacy (Fundamental
Movement Skills)
Goal # 3
Quality Facilities for Participation and Perfor-
mance
Goal # 4
Leadership and Community Involvement
Goal # 5
Accountability
Goal # 6
Inclusion and Diversity
Goal # 7
Communication
Under each goal statement a number of spe-
cific actions are included and sport sector
and agency leads identified. The leads will
require support and involvement from local
sport organizations, school representatives
and other interested community residents
to address the action that supports the goal
statement.
The Strategy was developed to create a coor-
dinated vision for sport and physical activity
to support life long participation for increas-
ing the health and wellness of community. In
doing this, the strategy will enhance capac-
ity and foster alignment and collaboration
between sport and recreation and empower
the sport sector to advance local sport in our
communities.

Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
Setting the Stage - Introduction
Citizens residing in Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows are active and participate in sport
and physical activity with 97% of residents
using at least one recreation service or fa-
cility at least once per year and where the
majority of residents participating in physical
activity to stay healthy and fit.*
The Sport and Physical Activity Strategy’s Vi-
sion and Priority Goals provides a framework
to support opportunities for residents to be
engaged, active and provide life skills that is
crucial to healthy development and wellness
throughout ones life.
Physical activity is a key determinant of
health status and is essential to personal
health and quality of life. Municipal recre-
ation by way of various facilities, parks, trails,
programs and services provides affordable
and accessible opportunities that can pos-
itively impact the health and well-being of
residents, especially vulnerable sectors that
may not otherwise have an opportunity to
participate. The same principles apply to or-
ganized and informal sport where sport par-
ticipation can provide the glue for social con-
nectedness and foster a sense of ‘we’ and
belonging. These factors along with physi-
cal activity provided by education institutions,
were key in the development of the strategy.
Regardless of culture, economic status and
physical ability, as identified in focus groups
sessions, the shared goals for these sectors
is to increase participation for residents to
become and stay active and healthy through-
out their lives.
The Governor General of Canada proclaimed
“2015 – The Year of Sport in Canada.” The
theme; Canada: A Leading Sport Nation.
This proclamation and the value placed on
the power of sport and participation is truly
the essence of the Sport and Physical Activ-
ity Strategy.
The strategy was developed using a multi-sec-
toral approach and those involved were instru-

mental in forming the process that values the
underlying importance and positive impact of
being physically literate and actively engaged
building strong families and healthy commu-
nities.
Municipal recreation has always played a sig-
nificant role in the continuum of sport and
active participation. Parks and Recreation
Departments will often be the first provider
of initial experiences with sport through ear-
ly skill development. It is at these “Learn
To” or introductory level programs that the
child plays, has fun, gains confidence, and
becomes familiar with how their bodies can
move as they participate in physical activity.
From here children may enter into community
based sport associations, or continue their
journey being active and physically literate
by running, jumping and throwing on their
own through active play and later as they
enter the education system. The link there-
fore between municipal recreation, sport as-
sociations and schools is already connect-
ed. Recreation has a role to support sport
in both the community level and within the
schools as kids transition to community or
school sport programs. It is however at this
junction that the three, with similar goals and
outcomes can strengthen the link and be bet-
ter connected. The strategy is intended to
foster collaboration between these sectors
and continue the partnerships on the deliv-
ery of sport and physical activity to children
and youth as they intertwine between school
sports participation, community sport par-
ticipation and eventually remain active into
adulthood.
Recreation also support sport through pro-
viding facilities (pools, gymnasiums, arenas,
fields, multi purpose spaces), parks and
trails, coaching and volunteer training, assis-
tance with special event hosting, expertise
sharing, grant applications and allocations
and facility booking/joint use agreements.

Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
Over the past few years, numerous commu-
nity leaders championed initiatives that have
benefited and continue to support sport in
Maple Ridge. With the announcement of
Vancouver – Whistler’s bid to host the 2010
Winter Olympics Games, the spark was ignit-
ed locally to celebrate the power of sport in
our own backyard. Maple Ridge hosted their
own celebratory events at Game time, renew-
ing a sense of energy and pride for sport and
volunteerism within the community.
This vibrancy continued well into 2011 with
a cohort of sport advocates aligned with the
British Columbia KidSport Association to
create a local KidSport Chapter in our area.
Backed by a staggering statistic that 1 in 3
Canadian children cannot afford to ‘get in the
game,’ KidSport continues to provide mone-
tary support to children and youth where fi-
nancial limitations are a barrier to participa-
tion. Because of compassionate volunteers
that strongly believed that all children should
be afforded the opportunity to play, KidSport
Maple Ridge / Pitt Meadows quickly became
and remains a successful funding body with-
in the community.
Maple Ridge is fortunate to have a Canadian
Tire Jumpstart Chapter that provides finan-
cial support to children and youth who can-
not afford the costs associated with sport,
recreation and active programs. Thanks to
the generosity of the local Canadian Tire,
and affiliated businesses, on average, 500
children and youth per year received financial
assistance so as to remain involved and con-
nected to sport in their communities.
These examples are indicative of how the
community values the importance of sport in
a child’s life and the firm belief that partici-
pation is more than just ‘being on a team.’
That being connected to a sport team or as-
sociation fosters not only physical literacy
and healthy habits in young people that will
carry them through to adulthood, but as well,
provides an environment where leadership

skills, social connections for both player and
parents are built, and confidence and self es-
teem develops.
With the success of KidSport, volunteer en-
ergies shifted to creating an event to provide
information to parents and families of the
numerous sports available to play in Maple
Ridge. With this idea, the Maple Ridge Pitt
Meadows Sports and Recreation Expo came
to life. The interactive event showcased
sport, recreation, and sport funding orga-
nizations in the area and provided a range
of activities for all ages to experience. This
grassroots event became a platform for dis-
cussions with participating sport groups to
share their strengths, challenges and oppor-
tunities and with the conversations emerged
the realization and desire for greater commu-
nity sport collaboration.
The Expo embraced new themes each year
and in 2012, the theme was Physical Liter-
acy, a relatively unknown term in local sport
language. The event drew a dynamic speaker
from then, Vancouver 2010 Legacies Now,
who spoke on the underlying principles of
Physical Literacy and Active for Life, both
components of the Canadian Sport for Life
Principles.
Physical literacy is the motivation, confi-
dence, physical competence, knowledge and
understanding to take responsibility for en-
gagement in physical activities for life.*
In 2013, another well-respected key note
speaker from Legacies Now, delivered a mes-
sage, speaking to those in attendance about
“getting people working together.” His mes-
sage centred on the importance of collabora-
tion and the strength in numbers when pur-
suing improvements or change movements in
sport. The Sport and Recreation Expo proved
to be a vehicle to build relationships and
gain a better understanding of sport stake-
holders all of which are local sport groups,
the volunteers within those groups and the
participants of sport and physical activity in
our community.
Consistent with the practice of collaboration,
information was collected from champions
within a variety of sports and preliminary re-
search focused on building capacity and de-
veloping a process to work together towards
common goals at the grassroots level. It was
at this time the benefits of working together
for a shared plan become clearly evident.

Why Develop a
Sport & Physical
Activity Strategy?
The Sport and Physical Activity Strategy is
a means to guide and provide a reference
tool for the recreation department, sport
and community groups and School Dis-
trict, and work together towards common
goals to the benefit of a healthy and ac-
tive community. The strategy will provide
the basis of building a healthy community
where citizens are encouraged to main-
tain a healthy and active lifestyle through
life-long participation in sport and recre-
ational activities.
The strategy is intended to identify short
term and long term goals which was devel-
oped with the community but will be facilitat-
ed and led by staff in the Parks and Leisure
Department. The Priority Goal Statement
and subsequent Action Plan will require a
network of community residents represent-
ing sport and physical activity groups, clubs
or agencies who will collaborate and engage
their own groups in the completion of the ac-
tions. This will require a commitment to the
shared vision and direction set forth in the
strategy, but most of all for continued advo-
cacy for sport and active living.

Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
In 2010, Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Parks and
Leisure Services Commission endorsed the
Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan.
This strategic planning document involved ex-
tensive research and analysis and continues
to serve as an important guide to identifying
priorities in the community. The development
of the strategy is a recommendation related
to service delivery and programming within
the PRC Master Plan. The importance and
value to strengthening community capacity
building, group development and delivering
sport and physical activity through a network
approach aligns with the Parks and Leisure
long range plans for continuous improvement
and growth.
The strategy and the actions embedded with-
in each priority goal statement are anticipat-
ed to produce tangible outcomes that will
further the physical activity movement and
deepen sport development Some of these
outcomes include:
Enhanced working relationships between
recreation, education, sport and health.
Development of short term and long term
community goals based on shared collective
actions.
Increase in sport and physical activity
participation and program and services inclu-
sivity and accessibility.
Understanding groups capacities and
abilities for involvement in a collaborative
network now or in the future.
Commitment to coordinated and sus-
tainable approaches in utilizing shared re-
sources; find links and common themes be-
tween the groups.
Adoption and endorsement of Canadian
Sport for Life and the Long Term Athlete De-
velopment Framework within local sport gov-
ernance.
Development of a Sport Network; lo-
cal sport organizations that advocate, share
best practices and advise on the advance-
ment of sport and physical activity.
Supporting engagement in enhanced plan-
ning of new facilities, programs, services and
partnerships.
Providing a vehicle for supporting new,
expanding and emerging sport organizations
and understanding and addressing sport
needs, gaps and successes
Fostering community leadership and ca-
pacity.
Greater shared understanding of Active for
Life Principles through the process of net-
work development and enhanced collabora-
tion.
Greater global understanding of physical
literacy by the community.
Supporting and providing the ability for
residents to be active and healthy through
improved health and wellbeing.
Anticipated
Outcomes
16
Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
Throughout the development of the Strate-
gy, reference was made to key best practice
research and guiding complimentary frame-
works on sport, community health and phys-
ical activity. The Canadian Sport Policy sets
the national expectations on promotion and
celebration of sport participation and ex-
cellence that includes values such as fun,
commitment, personal development, acces-
sibility, respect and fair play. As is relevant at
all levels of government, the policy notes ef-
forts must be made to increase collaboration
amongst federal and provincial government
towards the Canadian Sport Policy goals:
1. Introduction to sport
2. Recreational Sport
3. Competitive Sport
4. High Performance sport
5. Sport for Development
Background
The policy goals and outcomes are a frame-
work for the development of action plans at
various levels, and was influential at a local
level in the Sport and Physical Activity Strat-
egy whereas improved health and wellness
and participation is a combined desired out-
come both nationally and locally.
The Canadian Sport for Life model aims to
improve the quality of sport and physical
activity in Canada.* Within the model are
pillars to accomplish the goal, which include
physical literacy, long term athlete develop-
ment and active for life.
Physical Literacy a key component of the strat-
egy as competence in movement provides the
individual with the ability to confidently navi-
gate ones world. Physical literacy is learned
and strengthened through sport and through
non-sport activities such as recreational play
both structured and unstructured, hence its
value and tie with other service partners
such as schools childcare centres and other
17
Maple Ridge SPORT & PHYSICAL ACTIVITY STRATEGY | 2016-2021
community based recreation groups. Physi-
cal skills learned can be transferred to mul-
tiple environments throughout ones lifetime
and provides the basis for an individual to be
active for life through lifelong participation in
sport and physical activity.
The idea of leading an active lifestyle outside
of sport is identified within this document as
Physical Activity. Sport alone does not define
how every resident in Maple Ridge choses to
be active. For some, the word ‘sport’ may be
a barrier in itself for engagement. Therefore
it’s not important that every person partici-
pates in sport, but rather every person par-
ticipates in some sort of physical or wellness
activity.
The strategy aims to support long term ath-
lete development, although does not specifi-
cally include defined goals to enhance athlet-
ic excellence. Rather, fundamental movement
skills which are building blocks to any mas-
tery of a physical movement, will support the
broader strategy and goals of improved phys-
ical literacy and participation.
The Maple Ridge Sport and Physical Activity
Policy provides clear direction on the philoso-
phy of working together for the advancement
of sport and activity in our communities.
Sport & Physical Activity
Policy Vision:
Maple Ridge values and celebrates sport and
physical activity as an integral component in
a healthy and active community, essential to
quality of life.
Participation in sport is increased by strength-
ening sport and community partnerships, and
committing to coordinated and cooperative
approaches in identifying common interests,
goals and challenges in the provision of qual-
ity sport and physical activity opportunities.

Sport & Physical Activity
Policy Guiding Principles
The following principles support Maple
Ridge’s vision and provides a framework for
Parks and Leisure Services to work collab-
oratively with new, forming and established
Community Groups in the growth of physical
activity and sport.
We believe:
1. All children and youth should have the op-
portunity to access affordable sport and
recreation in their community.
2. In providing inclusive, accessible and life
long opportunities for sport participation
in the health and well being of residents.
3. All residents should be provided a variety
of physical literacy competency opportu-
nities towards being active for life.
4. In enhancing working relationships and
partnerships between recreation, edu-
cation, sport, health, transportation and
tourism.
5. Collaboration and sharing knowledge and
expertise benefits the development of
quality sport in the community.
6. In recognizing the relationship and mutu-
al benefit between sport, community and
business stakeholders.
As the policy informed the strategy, together
the documents identified issues, pressures
and opportunities within the community sport
delivery model recognizing the role municipal
recreation plays in supporting and improv-
ing community health and physical activity.
These components were identified through
sport group consultations.
The strategy is intended to be a five year
working document, that will provide a longer
term vision of sport and physical activity, yet
recognizes the need to be flexible to allow for
refocusing as needed, in response to com-
munity trends, best practices and industry
standards.

coaches; passionate parents taking roles
above skills level to support registration
numbers in the sport
Groups seeking support in developing
programs. Looking to others for expertise

to bad experiences, not fun, too much pres-
sure to succeed
Assistance required for promotion and
increased awareness of some sports
Lack of large enough facilities to host
flagship tournaments in one place
Facility (fields) availability continues to
be a challenge due to growth of field sports
Programming in areas to support the
sport i.e youth introduction to specific sport
ie. learn to skate for older age groups
Continue to improve collaboration be-
tween sport groups – work together; meet-
ings on best usage; meetings for input on up-
grades to facilities; improved communication
and relationships
Understanding groups capacities and
abilities for involvement in a collaborative
network now or in the future. Build relation-
ships and lay the foundation for collaboration

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
and Members of Council MEETING: Regular Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer FILE NO.: LF1918010
SUBJECT: Partnering Agreement
-Employment Land Investment Incentive Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the fall of 2014, Council approved the framework for the Employment Land Investment Incentive
Program, intended to accelerate private investment and to attract new businesses and high value
jobs to Maple Ridge. Council approved the use of partnering agreements as one of the tools to
support the incentive program.
A project is now at the stage where a partnering agreement is required in order for the City to provide
an incentive payment. In accordance with Council direction, agreements are presented for
consideration at a public meeting, and although legally subject to Council approval, the project
meets pre-established eligibility requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute a Partnering Agreement with:
1.Burnaby Saw Service Ltd. under building permit number 17-121540 in the amount of
$5392.10;
BACKGROUND:
The four year Employment Land Investment Incentive Program was approved in 2014 and launched
in 2015 to help implement the Commercial and Industrial Strategy.
A development project meets the program eligibility requirements and has had a building permit
issued. This is the trigger for the incentive program to begin, and the partnering agreement
incentives are now due. In order to proceed, the City requires the owner to enter into a partnering
agreement to ensure the obligations of both parties are clearly understood. The project is described
as follows:
1172
Page 2 of 3
• Two-storey office and residential building located at 13130 Lilley Drive, Maple Ridge, BC,
owned by Burnaby Saw Service Ltd., receiving $5,932.10 under the Employment Land
Investment Incentive Program, and representing $1.8 million in construction value under
permit number 17-121540.
Public notice was issued in accordance with Sections 24, 21 and 94 of the Community Charter.
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATIONS:
Council previously set aside approximately $3 million to fund the incentive programs. The partnering
agreement referred to in this report will require that the reserve will be drawn down by $5,932.10.
Through the incentive program, this project has also benefitted from a building permit discount of
$12,655.45.
The incentive program also provides incentives in the form of property tax exemptions. Amounts will
be driven by future BC Assessment valuations and are therefore difficult to predict. An estimate of
the incentives, based on construction value and using 2018 property tax rates, would result in
approximately $64,000 spread over five years. Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreements will be
necessary to initiate this portion of the incentive program once the projects are nearing completion.
CITIZEN IMPLICATIONS:
The City’s approach to the incentive programs is one of full transparency. There have been numerous
Council reports, presentations and newspaper notices over four years of incentive program
implementation. The Employment Land Investment Incentive Program is intended to attract new
commercial and industrial businesses and high value jobs to Maple Ridge. Incentive program goals
and objectives have consistently ranked as highly desirable in citizen surveys.
Page 3 of 3
CONCLUSION:
This report requests Council authorization to execute a partnering agreement that will allow the City
to provide a financial incentive for the building permit noted in this report. The project meets pre-
established eligibility criteria adopted by Council. The incentive totals $5,932.10, and supports the
$1.2 million in construction value represented by the project. Partnering agreement incentives are
one component of a comprehensive incentive program that supports the Commercial and Industrial
Strategy.

Appendix A
Schedule A: Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Reasons,
Objectives and Principles
A Revitalization Tax Exemption is established under this Bylaw to:
a. Improve the ratio of jobs to housing;
b. Expand employment opportunities for citizens;
c. Attract investment to create a strong local economy;
d. Diversify the tax base;
e. Improve the industrial to residential property tax ratio;
f. Encourage the use of environmentally sustainable building construction methods and
materials; and,
g. Encourage energy efficiency and alternative technologies.
Generally accepted principles that have been incorporated into the Employment Land Investment
Incentive Program:
i. Bricks and mortar (property value) contributes to the City’s revenue stream;
ii. Industrial land should be retained for industrial uses;
iii. Focus on attracting high value jobs and high job densities;
iv. Focus on businesses not driven by population growth - “retail follows rooftops”;
v. Time limited programs provide momentum;
vi. Incentives shouldn’t draw businesses away from the Town Centre;
vii. The Town Centre commercial sector needs continued support; and,
viii. A multi-pronged approach is needed; incentives alone are not the answer.
Appendix A
Schedule B: Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Areas
Appendix A
Schedule C: Ineligible Uses
These uses would typically have either lower job densities or lower value jobs, and therefore would
not meet the objectives of the program:
• Dance schools, fitness centres and gymnastics schools
• Auction marts
• Mini-warehouses
• Parking of unoccupied commercial and recreational vehicles
• Indoor commercial recreational uses
• Restaurants
• Childcare centres
• Retail warehouse operations (“big box”)
• Operations relating to medical marihuana
REPORT: Joint Municipal Emergency Program Page 1 of 2
DATE: May 8, 2018
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Joint Municipal Emergency Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Joint Municipal Emergency Program (JMEP) Agreement with the City of Pitt Meadows has
recently expired and it is recommended that the City of Maple Ridge enter into a new five-year
agreement. The Joint Agreement provides resiliency and affords new opportunities to build capacity
in all aspects of the emergency program with the addition of a full-time Emergency Program
Coordinator in Pitt Meadows. It also provides for the activation of a Joint Emergency Operations
Centre in the event an emergency affects both municipalities or for either community to provide
assistance to the other upon request.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That staff be directed to draft a new five-year Joint Municipality Emergency Program (JMEP)
agreement with the City of Pitt Meadows and bring it back to Council for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context: The joint emergency program with Pitt Meadows has been in place since
2002. The agreement has served both communities well and has been identified by Emergency
Management BC as a model for other communities to follow because emergencies often impact
more than one community and there is tremendous value in being prepared to establish a
coordinated response.
Under the current agreement, Maple Ridge provides staff resources to the City of Pitt Meadows
and they, in return, pay a portion of the costs.
We have now received written notification from the City of Pitt Meadows that they wish to add
their own Emergency Program Coordinator and as a result will cover 100% of this staffing cost.
However they will no longer be sharing in the Maple Ridge costs but are interested in continuing
to provide the JMEP. The benefit to Maple Ridge is that we will no longer have a joint program
that is reliant on only one staff member. With Pitt Meadows having their own dedicated
Emergency Program Coordinator, both communities will benefit from having added depth and
coverage.
This new agreement will better define how planning, exercises, volunteer management and
public education efforts will be shared. These changes ultimately provide greater opportunities
1173
REPORT: Joint Municipal Emergency Program Page 2 of 2
DATE: May 8, 2018
for developing emergency plans and related training, as well as added resources to attract and
retain volunteers.
b) Strategic Alignment (as appropriate): This agreement enables the City to develop coordinated
plans that will assist residents to have their essential needs met during the most difficult times
and contribute to the continuation of a community with a strong and vibrant local economy.
c) Business Plan/Financial Implications: This change will result in a loss of annual revenue of
$26,000.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Joint Municipality Emergency Program (JMEP) agreement will provide additional staff resources
that are required to deliver essential services to the citizens of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows in the
event of an emergency.
