OTHER COMMITTEE ISSUES -Nil 9. ADJOURNMENT -1:50 p.m. Councillor Ahmed Yousef Presiding Member of the Committee TO: City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: FILE NO: FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: June 18, 2019 2019-072-AL cow SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve 12225 250 Street An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to exclude approximately 0.987 hectares (2.4 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 property will be familiar to some members of Council as the applicant had previously applied for exclusion but was not successful. The previous application was presented to Council on June 26, 2018 under Application 2018-071-AL. The applicant had also communicated to neighbours the intention to develop an intensive poultry farm on the subject property. Many residents expressed opposition to a farm of that magnitude with chickens, and some of these residents indicated support for excluding the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The recommendation of this report has been in accordance with Council direction and does not articulate a specific approach. However, Council is advised to consider the following in their decision making process: • Neighbourhood opposition to the proposed poultry farm was a specific response to a potentially offensive type of farming in a residential context, due to odours, traffic impacts, and visual intrusion. Consideration of a more extensive range of possible agricultural uses and impacts for this property have not been advanced at this time. It may be that appropriate small lot agricultural uses that are consistent with hobby farming would be welcomed in the neighbourhood. There is local support for small lot agriculture that offers modest income potential for farming interests, and local agricultural products to the customer base. • The applicant's intention for urban levels of residential development at this location is at odds with the direction of the Official Community Plan. The existing RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zone of the properties in this vicinity is not consistent with the land use designations of either Estate Suburban or Agricultural, and should be c,onsidered legal non-conforming. • Should this application prove successful, it will reduce the land base in the Agricultural Land Reserve within the community and likely increase speculative interests in agricultural properties next to residential development. Within the area, there are a number of properties in the Agricultural Land Reserve that are also zoned RS-1 One Family Urban Residential (as shown on Appendix C). This application, if successful, would likely increase development pressures on these properties. 2019-072-AL Page 1 of 8 1101 RECOMMENDATION: The following resolutions are provided for Council's consideration: a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission; b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a summary of Council's comments and the staff report. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East: West: Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: b) Site Context: Eva Pozsar Lot A, Section: 23, Township: 12, Plan: NWP87852 Agricultural RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Rural Residential RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Agricultural 10 properties, urban residential use RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Estate Suburban Residential. 3 properties, urban residential use RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Estate Suburban Rural Residential RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Agricultural Rural Residential Urban Residential 0.987 250th Street The 0.987 hectare (2.5 acre) subject property is zoned RS-1 One Family Urban Residential but is 100 % within the Agricultural Land Reserve. It is situated to the north of the "Smith Avenue subdivision", a block of parcels created in 1957 that are designated Estate Suburban in the Official Community Plan (see Appendix D). These properties and their zoning predate the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Zoned RS-1 One Family Urban Residential, the properties within this subdivision generally conform to the minimum area requirements of the zone (See Appendix C). Despite their parcel size and their urban zoning, these properties are remote from the urban area and are designated Rural in Metro Vancouver's Regional Growth Strategy. 2019-072-AL Page 2 of 8 The subject property and other acreage parcels that enclosed this subdivision (many of which were also zoned RS-1 One Family Urban Residential) were included in the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1972. These properties are designated Agricultural in Metro Vancouver's Regional Growth Strategy. c) Project Description: The applicant proposes to exclude the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve in order to create a 9 lot subdivision under the subject property's existing RS-1 One Family Rural Residential Zoning. A landscape strip is proposed as a buffer to separate the newly created lots from adjacent agricultural land. A subdivision proposal is appended to this report in Appendix E. Should this application be successful, the property would not require rezoning in order to develop to urban residential densities, due to the existing urban zoning of the subject property. However, development considerations include the requirement for full urban services as a condition of subdivision. The subject property has one sewer connection, and this service could not be expanded without the consent of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District, which has coordinated its mandate (The Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan) with Metro Vancouver's Regional Growth Strategy. The subject property is designated Agricultural in the Regional Growth Strategy, and the extension of additional urban services at this location would be at odds with regional growth management goals. d) Planning Analysis: On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining legal implications and the local government's role in processing applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring applications to the Agricultural Land Commission: • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no comment. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments. • The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments. • The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission. The process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council streamlined this process to 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. To assist Council in the decision of allowing this application to proceed further, this development proposal will be 2019-072-AL Page 3 of 8 reviewed in light of the policies and policy concerns of the Official Community Plan, and the Agricultural Plan. Zoning Bylaw By urban standards, the RS-1 One Family Urban Residential zoning of the subject property permits relatively large lot sizes of 668 m2 (approximately 7000 ft2). Minimum lot dimensions include 27 metres for lot depth and 18 metres for lot width. However, this lot size is significantly smaller than would typically be allowed in an Agricultural, Rural Residential or Estate Suburban land use designation. The aligning zone in the Estate Suburban designation is RS-2 One Family Suburban Residential, which has a minimum parcel size of 0.4 ha (1 acre) and minimum dimensions of 36 metres of lot width with 60 metres of lot depth. As the zoning of the properties in this vicinity does not align with their land use designations, this zone is legally non-conforming at this location. Subdivision and Servicing Bylaw The existing RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zone has servicing requirements as a condition of subdivision. These include full urban services, including street trees, water, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, asphalt, curb and gutters, underground wiring, boulevard treatment, sidewalks, street lighting, and transit bays. The extension of sanitary sewer at this location would require the approval of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District. Lot Geometry: The subject property has a lot width of 51.7 metres. The newly proposed lots would take their lot depth from this frontage. A 15 metre cul-de sac would be required to give each newly created lot sufficient road frontage. As the required parcel depth in the RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zone is 27 metres, the remainder from this dimension (51.7 -(27 + 15) would provide over 8 meters which could potentially be used as an agricultural buffer. A formal subdivision application along with a servicing agreement would be required prior to subdivision occurring. Official Community Plan This application proposes an urban level of development on a property that is within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Accommodating population growth is a priority within the Official Community Plan. To address this issue, the Plan contains broad policies to accommodate growth within the Urban Area Boundary, with options that include infill and redevelopment, as well as greenfield development. Once build out has been attained, the Thornhill Urban Reserve has been identified for urban development, with specific triggers in place. The ALR has been considered unavailable for this purpose for several years. Agricultural policies within the OCP that are pertinent to this application are expressed as follows: 6 - 8 Maple Ridge will work cooperatively with senior levels of government and other agencies to promote agricultural business opportunities by: 2019-072-AL a) aligning land use bylaws to permit supportive non-farm uses such as agro-tourism, bed and breakfasts, and on-farm sales; b) assisting agricultural landowners to identify and develop agricultural opportunities (e.g. value added, agri -tourism, bed and breakfast, recreation); c) identifying and encouraging access by agricultural landowners to agricultural programs; Page 4 of 8 d) promoting the demand for, and sale of, local agricultural products within the community (e.g. farmer's market, on-farm marketing, District food and plant material procurement policies); e) developing a small lot agricultural initiative tailored to Maple Ridge conditions. In recognition that many Maple Ridge agricultural properties are small, (less than 4 hectares or 10 acres), Policy 6-11 states the following: 6 -11 Maple Ridge will review policies and regulations to support and encourage small lot agriculture. To guide Council in their decision making process with properties that are within the Agricultural Land Reserve, Policy 6-12 states the following: 6 -12 Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by: a) adopting a guiding principle of "positive benefit to agriculture" when making land use decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land Reserve; b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (A/As) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability; c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads, topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land; d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated; e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural Residential; f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more cohesive parcels. The applicant's submission appears to conflict with many of these objectives. The applicant's claim of benefit to agriculture is the landscape buffer submitted with the subdivision plan aimed at protecting the agricultural properties to the north and to the west of the site, once it is excluded. The subdivision plan and rationale are attached as Appendix E. It should be noted that the intent of agricultural buffers is that they be placed on the non-ALR side of the agricultural interface. It is not the intent that the properties at the interface get excluded in order to create a buffer (and a new interface). Agricultural Plan The Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan, endorsed by Council in 2009, recognized the challenges and opportunities facing the agricultural industry in Maple Ridge. The Plan emphasized that within the Maple Ridge agricultural sector, there is support for initiatives to protect, enhance, and promote agriculture: There is an expectation that traditional farming models will not be as applicable in the future and that alternative models with new and multiple objectives should be pursued. There are individuals within the Maple Ridge agricultural sector who see a need for changes in how the agricultural sector currently interacts with the community and are embracing new emerging food system options. 2019-072-AL Page 5 of 8 Key observations emerged from sector consultations that will guide the agricultural planning process. Close proximity to a large urban population with increasing demand for local food and agricultural products is the biggest strength of Maple Ridge agriculture. As such, there is considerable opportunity to develop markets for a diverse range of high quality products that are fresher, safer, and healthier by virtue of being local. There was overall optimism identified during the consultation process that food trends could be translated into profitable business opportunities regardless of the constraints posed by parcel size, fragmentation of the land base, or resource characteristics. These proponents include both established farmers and also relatively unseasoned operators with post-secondary educations, new ideas and substantial amounts of capital who are just starting out. The poultry farm proposal advanced by the applicant could be described as a more traditional type of agriculture. The emphasis made by the Plan indicates that there may be other options for an agricultural future for the property that would be lost if excluded and subdivided. Since the 2009 endorsement of the Agricultural Plan, a number of initiatives have been advanced to support this work. Most recently, at the June 11, 2019 Council workshop, a report was presented on an Agri-Food Hub within Maple Ridge. This initiative would provide a cost effective program for receiving, processing, and distribution of local agricultural products. This program could increase the economic potential of small lots in the ALR, such as the subject property. A recommendation that has not yet been advanced pertains to the zoning of properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve. In particular, the Plan notes that the RS-3 One Family Rural Residential Zone, the most prevalent zone within the Agricultural Land Reserve, may contribute to a perception that agriculture is not a principal use within this zone. The Plan contains recommendations for redress of this situation. The Plan does not comment on the impacts that RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zoning may have on properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, it is reasonable to conclude that this urban zone also increases the perception that the long term use of these properties is not for agricultural purposes. On this basis, Council may wish to consider it appropriate to amend the zoning of these properties to reflect the Agricultural Land Use Designation. Contemporary Perspective The applicant has communicated with the neighbourhood of the plans to develop an intensive chicken farm on the property and in response received significant opposition to this proposal, due to concerns about neighbourhood impacts that such an operation would create. There is little question that an intensive poultry operation would ideally be situated more remotely from a residential neighbourhood, with appropriate buffers in place. There are, however, other types of agriculture that could actually benefit from closer proximity to residential development. In Agricultural Urbanism, the book's authors advance the concept of "Artisan Agriculture" to describe a form of low impact agriculture that benefits from close proximity to residential development. Pertinent excerpts from this document are as follows: Conventional agriculture today does not integrate easily into the urban fabric because it requires large areas of farmland, significant industrial scale barns and machinery and heavy spraying of fertilizers, pesticides, and in some cases, manure. The risk of dust or 2019-072-AL Page 6 of 8 chemicals drifting into nearby residential areas is always a concern, and the scale of machinery makes it immediately evident that these uses are incompatible. One response to this dilemma is to create significant buffers between agriculture and human settlement, essentially further separating our cities and the production of the food that sustains them. These buffers are appropriate in many cases are also being promoted as a partial solution to the ongoing trade-offs between agriculture and habitat. However, as noted elsewhere, conventional buffers tend to sever the physical and psychological connections between people and agriculture. When we begin to pursue the closer integration of farming and cities, we need to envision or articulate an alternative model of farming that will not only survive being in close proximity to homes, but will actually benefit from that adjacency. 1 Key components of this approach are: • Low-toxicity farming practices that minimize the use of pesticides and herbicides • High value products with direct to consumer marketing • Vertically integrated farming operations with value added products. Agricultural Land Commission. The Agricultural Land Commission recognizes certain types of land uses that support existing agriculture, such as on-site produce sales, processing, and agri-tourism. These activities are particularly supportive of small scale agriculture, due to their potential to promote agriculture and increase gross farm receipts. Although the neighbourhood may have been concerned about an intensive poultry farm in their vicinity, there are other potential farming activities that could be compatible with adjacent residential uses. The policies of the Agricultural Land Commission could support these smaller scale farming activities. This opportunity would be lost if this property was removed from the ALR and subdivided. Growth Management and Extension of Sewer Services. At the January 9, 2017 Council Workshop, Council received a report from the Engineering Department titled "Metro Vancouver Sewerage Extension Provisions." This report outlined the policy considerations pertinent to Metro Vancouver in reviewing applications for extending sewer services. These policy considerations include restricting the extension of regional sewerage services to Rural, Agricultural or Conservation and Recreation designated lands that are outside the Urban Containment Boundary. The priorities driving these restrictions are to ensure consistency with the regional land use designation, and with growth management goals. Within this context, the only justification for sewer extension in these areas is to address public health or environmental risks. This application would require the extension of sewer to serve the proposed subdivision application, and such an extension could not be justified based on the considerations noted above. This regional approach advances a concept of "No Significant Impact" in the review of sewer extension applications. It was noted that while extending service to individual properties might not be significant from a regional capacity perspective, a single property approval could establish precedents and lead to additional requests within a municipality. The cumulative effect of additional applications could have an impact on regional capacity. As this regional jurisdiction over extending sewer services is not well understood in the community, the prospect of acquiring a property with both urban residential zoning and a sewer connection may 1 Agricultural Urbanism, Janine de la Salle & Mark Holland, Green Frigate Books, 2010, p 61. 2019-072-AL Page 7 of 8 (/) C) Ill m N u, 0 0 I s:: ~-0 -, :::0 <" (1) -, en Qo r Q) :,;- (1) en 0 "-' )> 0 -; ~ rn 'P .. 0 '--..J C: "-' :, ' 0) )> -r "-' ~ <D .

I come from a farming background, in fact my farming roots go back well over a century. I grew up on a poultry farm, and my goal and dream are to be a poultry farmer again. Eva has purchased the subject property located at 12225 -250st Maple Ridge BC, in 2007. It's 0.9 hectare parcel. Purchased for the purpose of starting a poultry farm operation. Unfortunately farming has been impossible at this location. We've been met by extreme opposition against our proposed farming project from the community. The lack of support from all levels of government has been disappointing. Net Agricultural Benefits The primary agricultural benefit of this exclusion application will be that we can finally start farming poultry and grow food locally for the local market. Upon a successful application we're going to purchase a preexisting poultry farm. Depending on the size of the farm operation the agricultural contributions will be in the tens of millions of dollars for the next 25 years. We are aware, purchasing a per-existing operation would have to be upgraded to current standards before the BC CMB (Chicken Marketing Board) would allow the transfer of the quota. Removing the subject property from the Agricultural Land Reserve would give us an opportunity to create a new buffer and provide a clear separation between residential and agricultural land. Sadly, the current buffer has been almost completely destroyed by the City of Maple Ridge. This new buffer would restore the farmability of the surrounding ALR properties, and bring them into production. Upon successful removal from the ALR, there will be; a) new road. b) new sidewalk. c) agricultural warning street signs. d) new agricultural buff er. e) new fence to separate the agricultural buffer from farmland. f) new drainage by the agricultural buffer. g) special covenant on title for the new residential subdivision, to protect and promote agricultural. i) restored farmability for the surrounding ALR properties, to bring them into production. No loss to Agricultural Having the property removed from the ALR would not be a loss to agriculture for the following salient points; a) Property zoned for RS-1, single family residential not for agricultural use. b) Strict farming restrictions due to RS-1 zoning prevents several farming activities. c) Property has no history of ever being farmed in the past. d) No level of government supports farming on the subject property. e) Neighbourhood consensus vigorously oppose farming of this site. f) Agricultural buffer no longer exist on the residential side, to protect and promote farming. g) No special covenant on residential neighbouring properties. h) Subject property has extremely poor soil as well as insufficient drainage conditions. i) A very small 0.9 hectare parcel. For these reasons, farming on this property is futile and would best serve the community and the neighbouring agricultural properties at large, if it were released from the ALR and a new agricultural buff er was created. Closing In closing I'd like to bring your attention to the following sample of opposition response to our proposed poultry farm project. Echoing the entire neighbourhood's opinion. 1) Mr. David O'Really of 24917 -122 st of Maple Ridge, "You have already caused a lot of pain and angst by proposing to place this into a predominantly residential neighbourhood". He also stated, "Just because you have the legal right to take an action doesn't make it right to take it". Exhibit "M", e-mail #127. 2) Jennifer Allen of 12210 -250 st Maple Ridge writes,"You have said multiple times that you can go ahead and do this because you are ALR. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should or that it's right". She also writes, "It is incredibly selfish on your part to disrupt this nice family community", and latter she added, "If this is your dream than why would you not buy a property in an acceptable farming area. Not a residential area". Exhibit "M", E-mail #32. 3) Nicole Jennings writes "They don't support it they just can't stop it", referring to the City of Maple Ridge lack of support for the proposed poultry farm. Exhibit "M" E-mail #70. I strongly believe that the subject property is not farmable and not capable of any agricultural production for the reasons mentioned above. I'm asking you to please look at this proposal favourably. I truly believe your approval would be a great benefit to local agriculture. We'd be most pleased to have a chance to finally start farming poultry. Please see affidavit and corresponding exhibits as our plans and circumstances are explained in detail. Thank you.

I ! ~ IH3#il911AI British Columbia City of Maple Ridge '-·----TO: FROM: mapleridge.ca His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer MEETING DATE: June 18, 2019 MEETING: cow SUBJECT: Proposed Cannabis Retail Store at #7 -22214 Dewdney Trunk Road EXECUTIVE SUM MARY: On November 27, 2018, Council adopted Council policy 6.33 Cannabis Retail Store Processing and Evaluation Criteria. This policy determines how approvals for cannabis retail are to be processed at the municipal level. Preference was given to Provincial stores followed by any private store that had been approved by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) within the ninety day waiting period. The LCRB forwarded to City of Maple Ridge paperwork from Venti Holdings Ltd., for a retail cannabis store known as Cannabicana to be located at #7 -22214 Dewdney Trunk Road. One of the considerations utilized by the LCRB in reviewing an application is a resolution from the local government. A number of regulatory criteria must be addressed in the Council resolution as well as comments pertaining to the views expressed by area residents. Council may choose to support the application, not support the application or indicate they do not wish to comment. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. That the application for a cannabis retail store by Venti Holdings Ltd., located at #7 -22214 Dewdney Trunk Road, Maple Ridge not be supported based on the information contained in the Council report dated June 18, 2019. 2. That a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch in accordance with the legislative requirements. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: On November 27, 2018, Council adopted Council policy 6.33 Cannabis Retail Store Processing and Evaluation Criteria. This policy determines how approvals for cannabis retail are to be processed at the municipal level. Preference was given to Provincial stores followed by any private store that had been approved by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB) within a ninety day waiting period. After the LCRB completed their financial integrity checks and security screenings for Venti Holdings Ltd., they forwarded the application for a retail cannabis store, known as Cannabicana, to be located at #7 -22214 Dewdney Trunk Road to the City. Doc #2202930 Page 1 of 3 1102 Staff reviewed this application to ensure that it met all requirements contained in the Application Review Criteria (Section 10 of Council Policy 6.33) and the criteria has not been met, specifically pertaining to compliance with the Zoning bylaw as well as a submission on community impact. A map of the surrounding area has been included in this report as Appendix I. This proposed location is not supported as it is within one kilometer of the location of the government store and would be contrary to the zoning bylaw as well as the Council Policy 6.33. If Council were to approve this application, a zoning text amendment would have to be made. The LCRB guidelines request a specific Council resolution commenting on the application in terms of community impacts which may occur as a result of the proposed retail cannabis store at this particular location. Part of the process requires Council to gather views of the residents who may be affected by the establishment of a cannabis retail store in their neighbourhood. In following the public input requirement, the City mailed 1,107 letters to owners and occupants of property within 200 metres of the subject site. By the deadline, 2 responses in favour of the application were received and 12 responses opposed to the application were received from area business owners. In addition, the City received a petition which included 27 signatures from area residents and business owners as well as 28 signatures from customers and employees of area businesses opposing the application. The Maple Ridge RCMP Detachment was asked for their input on this matter and they have not responded with any concerns. b) Intergovernmental Issues: Both local government and the provincial government have an interest in ensuring that cannabis regulations are followed and that licensed establishments listen to the needs of the community. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: The review of this application has taken into consideration the potential for concerns from surrounding properties in terms of parking, traffic and noise generation as well as the proximity of schools and similar establishments. d) Interdepartmental Implications: The Licences & Bylaws Department has coordinated in the review process and solicited input from the public, other municipal departments as well as the RCMP. e) Alternatives: Council could choose to approve the application. CONCLUSIONS: That Council pass the necessary resolution not supporting the application from Venti Holdings Ltd. based upon the staff findings set out in this report.

While that can be true for many illegal dispensaries that unfortunately do fall into this category, licensed cannabis stores like CANNA13ICANA ® who has made it its mission to exemplify just how positive of an impact a legal cannabis store can have on the community it operates within. CANNA13ICANA ® POSITIVE IMPACT ON REDUCING THE CRIME An obvious concern for individuals living near a dispensary is crime-will there be an increase when a dispensary opens? Numerous published studies suggest that an increase in crime actually occurs when there are no legally licensed cannabis stores. "Contrary to popular wisdom, these studies found an immediate increase in crime in areas that there are no licensed cannabis stores". Why? Similar to restaurants and other retail shops, licensed cannabis stores tend to be in areas with high walkability scores. This means that there tend to be more "eyes upon the street" (i.e. more people walking around), which is a factor that is proven to deter certain types of crime-specifically property crime and car thefts. Another factor that reduces crime? All CANNA13ICANA ® stores have their own security systems in order to protect their products, public and surrounding areas to deter any undesired activities inside the store and surrounding areas. Numerous studies showed that private security can have large returns in terms of crime. When an area doesn't have a licensed cannabis store to provide its residents safe access to cannabis, it greatly increases the chances that individuals will seek out cannabis from a drug dealer. Drug dealers certainly don't increase the walkability score of an area or the security present there. By giving people a safe, legal place to access cannabis you eliminate many of the criminal elements that accompany the illegal drug trade. NO MINORS HAVE ACCESS TO CANNA'BICANA ® STORES Many parents express concerns that a cannabis store opening in their neighborhood will give children easier access to cannabis. This couldn't be further from the truth. All CANNA'BICANA ® stores require each individual to show their photo ID on every visit when they check in. In the BC you must be 19 or older to have access to a cannabis store and their products. As a result, there is no way for a child to walk into a CANNA'BICANA ® store and purchase cannabis. All recommendations and IDs are verified before anyone enters the area where cannabis and cannabis products are available, so even if a child walked in and went up to the front desk they would immediately be asked to leave. I'm going to go ahead and state the obvious here-drug dealers DEFINITELY don't check IDs. If your concern is keeping children away from cannabis, having a CANNA13ICANA ® store in your neighborhood is the best way to do that because we want to keep cannabis away from children too. That's why they have rules regarding who can and cannot enter. Having a CANNA13ICANA ® store in your neighborhood with its professional, knowledgeable and caring staff using educational brochures is also great tool to help you create an open dialogue with your children about cannabis and why they should stay away from it until they are of legal age. CANNA'BICANA ® POSITIVE IMPACT ON COMMUNITY Due to the concerns previously mentioned, many people end up worrying about the presence of a licensed cannabis store "bringing down their neighborhood" as a whole. CANNA13ICANA ® stores will pay taxes to the city and the Province just like any other business, which means they are directly contributing to the overall welfare of the city in which they operate. In addition to that CANNA'BICANA ® will be donating part of its profit back into the community by donating to over 14 Non-profit and charity organizations in Maple Ridge. {see attached list). This will support police, fire departments, parks, libraries and the regulation of cannabis laws. Illegal dispensaries and drug dealers don't pay taxes, they do nothing to give back to their community and they certainly aren't members of the Chamber of Commerce in their city-which, for the record, we will be, which will allow CANNA13ICANA ® to really get involved in the community. Just like any other local business, CANNA13ICANA ® truly wants to see the community they operate in succeed. Contrary to popular belief, the presence of a licensed cannabis store in any neighborhood of Maple Ridge is likely to have a positive impact on the community at large. Unlike illegal dispensaries and drug dealers, a licensed cannabis store will follow strict rules and regulations to ensure that they are secure, prevent the sale of cannabis to minors and give back to their community by paying taxes. Regulated, safe access to cannabis will always be better for a community than forcing individuals to obtain it illegally because there are no other options. CANNA'BICANA ® EMPLOYMENT CANNA13ICANA ® stores are strongly committed to hire all their employees locally to fill its well-paying job positions. WHY HAVING A CANNA'BICANA ® STORE IN MAPLE RIDGE The supply levels of legal cannabis products are limited and in certain communities there are already shortages. By licensing a private cannabis store like CANNA13ICANA ® ,in addition to Provincially owned cannabis stores, the City of Maple Ridge will provide its residents with adequate level of supplies and choices which will put an end to illegal sell of cannabis by illegal dispensaries and drug dealers.

To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. Pursuant to Council Policy, this application is exempt to the Community Amenity Contribution Program at a rate of $4,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit, as the applicant is proposing market rental units that will be secured through a Housing Agreement and a Section 219 covenant that the units will be market rental in perpertuity. The applicant has advised that additional density beyond the permitted FSR of 0.6 under the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone may be sought which would require a site specific text amendment to the zone and Council may want to consider the density bonus policy in the OCP. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7552-2019 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules C, D and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Kevin Urbas Lot 2, Section 17, Township 12, New Westminister District, Plan 12588 Urban Residential Urban Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Page 1 of 5 1103 Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Zone: Designation: South: Use: Zone: Designation: East: Use: Zone: Designation: West: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: b) Site Characteristics: Single Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Urban Residential Single Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Urban Residential Single Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Residential) Urban Residential Apartment C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Apartment-Low Rise and Conservation Single Family Residential Townhouse 0.133 HA. (0.32 acres) Lougheed Highway Urban Standard The subject property is located between Lougheed Highway to the west and 229 Street to the east and south of 117 Avenue just outside of the Town Centre Area. The current use of the subject property is single family residential. The property slopes gradually from the north east to the south west. c) Project Description: The applicant is proposing to rezone 11678 Burnett Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to support a stacked residential townhouse development. The proposed development will consist of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. With the ground floor consisting of 1 and 2 bedroom units and the 3 bedroom 2-storey units stacked above. A total of 8 units are proposed with 12 surface parking stalls. The allowable FSR for the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is 0.6 and the proposal is 0.66. Further, discussion will be required with respect to the proposed increase in the FSR. 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 subsequent report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The OCP designates the subject property as Urban Residential -Major Corridor, and is subject to the Major Corridor Residential infill policies. The Major Corridor Residential policies identify various types of housing forms, including: single detached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses, apartments, and small lot intensive residential developments. These policies require Page 2 of 5 that development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design, setbacks, and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The OCP encourages growth within the Urban Area Boundary (UAB) through infill developments, by promoting a mix of housing types and tenures (Policy 3-1). The proposed rezoning of the subject property to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone aligns with the Major Corridor Residential infill policies. Policy 3-20 b) states: a maximum height of two and one-half storey with an emphasis on ground oriented units for all developments except for apartments. However, other OCP policies provide support for the increase in height noting density bonus and the provision of rental housing or a cash-in-lieu contribution are mechanisms for achieving additional density and height. On July 17, 2018 Council reviewed a draft framework of density bonus regulations. As a result of the discussion, Council directed staff to begin preparing bylaw amendments to incorporate the density bonus framework into the New Zoning Bylaw. Council gave first reading to Bylaw 7 418-2018 (2018-180-RZ) at the Council meeting held on May 28, 2019 to allow this application to proceed in which the applicant requested an increase in density similar to this application based on a density bonus as outlined below. • 10% of the gross floor area being rental units, with rents at minimum 10% below CMHC average market rents for the Ridge-Meadows area; OR • A cash in-lieu contribution. Council on the June 4, 2019 Council Workshop clarified that Council preferred that cash-in-lieu option to creating affordable rental and special needs housing to the option of the developer providing 10% of the net floor are of the development to rental units. The applicant has indicated that a cash-in lieu is also the preferred option. The details of the cash-in-lieu option will form part of the second reading report Council Policy No. 6.31 Community Amenity Contribution Program, applies city-wide, with a CAC contribution of $4,100 per townhouse. The CAC program provides an exception to the creation of rental housing units that are secured through a Housing Agreement as established in Section 483 of the Local Government Act with an associated covenant under Section 219 of the Land Title Act. The applicant is proposing that the project will be market rental, secured through a Housing Agreement stating that the units will be market rental in perpetuity. At the June 4, 2019 Council Workshop meeting Council directed staff to bring back further information on how neighbouring municipalities were dealing with CAC rates. The following OCP policies would also apply to this rezoning application: 3-30 Maple Ridge will consider density bonus as a means of encouraging the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing, and amenities. 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. 3-32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing throughout the District. 3-33 Maple Ridge will encourage housing that incorporates "age-in-place" concepts and senior housing designed to accommodate special needs. Page 3 of 5 Housing Action Plan: Maple Ridge's vision and commitment towards housing is encompassed in this statement contained in the Maple Ridge Housing Action Plan (MRHAP): ''.4ccess to safe, affordable, and appropriate housing that meets the diverse and changing needs of the community is a priority." The current application will provide approximately 8 new rental residential townhouse units directly adjacent to the Town Centre, and as mentioned above, the development will offers a diverse mix of one, two and three bedroom units. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 11678 Burnett Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit an 8 unit residential townhouse development. In order to faciliate any increase to the permiited FSR of 0.6 a site specific text amendment to the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone would be required. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses. Advisory Design Panel: A Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) Parks Department; f) School District; g) Utility companies; h) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and i) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.

Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7516-2018 on December 11, 2018. Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program, and will be requested to pay $5,100.00 for the additional lot, as the original lot is exempt when a subdivision is proposing fewer than three lots. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7516-2018 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 2) That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading: i) Approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; ii) Road dedication on River Road as required; iii) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Geotechnical Report, which addresses the suitability of the subject property for the proposed development; iv) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management; v) Removal of existing buildings; vi) In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks on the subject property. If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that the subject property is not a contaminated site; and vii) That a voluntary contribution, in the amount of $5,100.00 be provided in keeping with the Council Policy with regard to Community Amenity Contributions. 1104 Page 1 of 4 DISCUSSION: 1) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Zone: Designation: South: Use: Zone: Designation: East: Use: Zone: Designation: West: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: 2) Project Description: Pivotal Development Consultants Ltd.

The majority of the subject property is located within the 100m Fraser River Escarpment area. The property is surrounded by single family residential lots to the west, north and east, with River Road located to the south (see Appendices A and B). The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) (see Appendix C), to permit future subdivision into two lots, not less than 557m2 (5,996 ft2) (see Appendix D). The proposed lot sizes of 595m2 (6,405 ft2) and 613 m2 (6,598 ft2) will ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood that meets the minimum area requirements of the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. The existing structures on the property will be demolished as a condition of rezoning. Access for each lot will be provided from River Road. Page 2 of 4 11 I 3) Planning Analysis: i} Official Community Plan: The subject property is located in West Maple Ridge, and is currently designated Urban Residential in the Official Community Plan (OCP). This designation permits a range of housing types within the Urban Area Boundary, where infill and densification may be possible based on compatibility and locational criteria on properties which can be fully serviced to municipal standards. The Urban Residential designation consists of two residential categories: Neighbourhood Residential, and Major Corridor Residential. The subject property is considered a Major Corridor Residential property, which allows for building forms such as: single family, duplex, triplex, fourplex, courtyard, townhouse and apartment, subject to satisfying compatibility criteria in the OCP. These compatibility criteria include respecting and reinforcing the physical patterns and characteristics of its established neighbourhood. The subject property is located within the Fraser River Escarpment Area. Council policies 6.23 and 6.24 have been established relating to building construction within the area bounded by 207 Street to the West, 124 Avenue to the North, 224 Street to the East and the top of crest of the Fraser River Escarpment along the South. When a property is located within the Fraser River Escarpment area, additional construction, engineering and covenants may apply, depending on the property's location within the escarpment. The purpose of these policies is to set out conditions under which subdivision of, or building on land can be considered within the escarpment area without compromising the stability of the escarpment, and to have control of surficial and groundwater discharge in the area. As part of rezoning, connections to the existing storm sewer will be required. On December 12, 2017 Council amended the city-wide Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program policy, which permits amenity contributions for residential development throughout Maple Ridge, including the provision of affordable and special needs housing in a financially sustainable manner. Each CAC will be based on a contribution rate of $5,100 per single family lot created. For single family residential subdivisions proposing fewer than three lots, only the original lot is exempt, after which the CAC program applies to each additional lot. ii} Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit future subdivision into two lots. The minimum lot size for the current zone is 668m2 (7,191 ft2) and the minimum lot width is 18m (59 ft.). The minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557m2 (5,996 ft2) with a minimum lot width of 15m (49 ft). The applicant is proposing two lots that are slightly under the 15m (49 ft.) width requirement; therefore, a Development Variance Permit application is required to vary the width. iii} Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following variance: • To reduce the lot width from 15m (49 ft.) to 13.6m (45 ft.). The requested variance to the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone will be the subject of a future Council report. iv} Advisory Design Panel: This application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel because a Form and Character Development Permit is not required.

The intent of the work was to look at options to integrate electric vehicle charging stations into City development regulations. In earlier conversations with Council, a preference to regulate 'rough-in' options in any new requirements was requested and staff brought back further information on possible costs for 'rough-in'. Pursuant with Council direction, staff are reporting back to Council with an amending bylaw that integrates 'rough-in' electric vehicle charging infrastructure requirements and are recommending that Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 (attached in Appendix A) be given first, second and third reading. RECOMMENDATION: That Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 be granted first, second and third reading. BACKGROUND: a) Council discussion to-date Council has previously directed the research and review of electric vehicle charging station requirements. Subsequently staff conducted research on best practices related to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, including undertaking a scan of EV charging infrastructure regulations in other municipalities. The intent of the work was to look at options to integrate EV charging stations into City development regulations. At the July 17, 2018 Workshop meeting, Council considered and discussed the proposed regulatory changes pertaining to electric vehicle charging infrastructure options for new development and endorsed a consultation program to engage the development community. Following Council's direction, staff reached out to development industry representatives and interested stakeholders to discuss the proposed set of regulatory requirements. Generally, broad levels of support were expressed for the proposed EV requirements for new development. A summary of the consultation process and outcomes was presented to Council at the December 11, 2018 Workshop meeting. At the December 11, 2018 Workshop meeting, Council directed staff to explore further regulatory options that require a 'rough-in' approach. 1105 Page 1 of 6 At the March 12, 2019 Workshop meeting, staff provided an update to Council and recommended that staff be directed to amend the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw to integrate the revised set of electric vehicle charging infrastructure requirements. At the March 12, 2019 Council Workshop, Council passed the following resolution: That staff be directed to prepare amendments to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw to integrate the requirements identified in the report titled "Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure: Council Update and Next Steps" dated March 12, 2019, and that once prepared the Amending Bylaw be placed on an available Committee of the Whole agenda. b) EV Charging Software & Power Management In order to optimize EV charging infrastructure performance, a building resident or builder has the opportunity to implement smart charging and/or power management software. EV Charging Software Many providers of EV charging software have integrated contactless smart card functionality (or "tap") as a means of accessing the EV charger. Contactless smart card functionality is where the chip communicates with a card reader through technology similar to that of an RFID. This type of software can control who can access the EV charging software as well as meter electricity use and control payment options. Power Management Software At the building level, power management software permits organizations to intelligently share existing power capacity to avoid costly upgrades or utility demand charges. By implementing power management software, a building may be able to have more EV charging stations installed without costly upgrades. c) BC Utilities Update The BC Utilities Commission (BCUC) regulates the sale and resale of electricity in B.C. BCUC conducted an inquiry to assess the regulatory needs associated with EV charging service. Phase One of the Electric Vehicle Charging Service Inquiry Report, released on November 26 2018, recommended that Strata Corporations and other landlords that provide EV charging services for compensation be exempted from the BCUC's regulation. The report recommends that BCUC would retain their oversight on safety, but price and terms of service would not be regulated. In March 2019, the BCUC received approval from the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to make EV charging service providers, as well as landlords and strata corporations, exempt from Part 3 of the Utilities Commission Act. The exemption includes, but is not limited to landlords, strata corporations, private companies and parkade owners. Said differently, landlords, strata corporations, private companies, including parkade owners, may now set a fee for the energy provided through an EV charging station without BCUC approval. It is anticipated that competition in the EV charging market could incentivize providers to ensure rates are competitive and less regulatory oversight may encourage greater participation in the market. The Inquiry is now in Phase 2, which focuses on the regulatory framework for EV charging service providers that are not public utilities and have not been recommended for exemption Phase 1, namely BC Hydro and Fortis BC. Page 2 of 6 DISCUSSION: a} Draft Bylaw As directed by Council, Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 has been prepared for consideration offirst reading. The full text of Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 is available in Appendix A. Table 1: Summary of Proposed EV Requirements for New Development for Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 Ground Oriented Apartment Commercial Development Residential Development Residential Development Require 1 space for each Require all off-street Require 10% of parking principal dwelling unit of single residential parking spaces in spaces to be roughed-in (Level family, duplex, triplex, fourplex, apartment developments to 2). courtyard, townhouse and street be roughed-in (Level 2). • Applicable to townhouse developments to be • 50% visitor parking be developments with 10 or roughed-in (Level 2). able to achieve a more off-street parking • Secondary suites and minimum of Level 2 spaces. detached garden suites charging exempt. b} Next Steps Should Council so direct, Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 would require three readings of Council in addition to final adoption to come into effect1. In-stream applications that have received Third Reading prior to the adoption of Bylaw No. 7 489-2018 would not be required to comply with the amended off-street parking and loading regulations. All other applications would be required to satisfy these new requirements at the time of building permit. Should the bylaw be adopted, the Building Department will work with the Planning Department to develop reference handouts for developers, including how Smart Charging and Energy Management Software can support EV charging infrastructure. As is customary with such bylaws, staff will continue to monitor and report back within one year on any impacts from the proposed EV charging infrastructure requirements, should they be adopted. INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Building Department The Building Department has been working in collaboration with the Planning Department on the development of EV charging infrastructure regulation. The Building Department supports and encourages the installation of EV chargers in the community. STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: The development of a draft bylaw to amend the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw to include requirements for the installation of EV charging infrastructure has been identified as a key action under the Environment priority of the Council Matrix in the 2019 -2022 Strategic Plan. 1 The Local Government Act does not require Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaws to be presented at a Public Hearing.

The subject property is located outside the Urban Containment Boundary (UCB) and the existing structures are serviced via a 50 year old onsite septic system. Under current Metro Vancouver regulations, any extension or amendment of sanitary servicing (including on-site changes in use or capacity) to properties outside of the UCB requires approval of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District (GVS&DD) Board. Applications require a municipal Council resolution prior to consideration by the Board, as identified in the Metro Vancouver Implementation Guideline #7. The additional connection to the sanitary system does not represent a significant change in the sanitary capacity requirement and does not increase the pressure to provide sanitary services for development properties outside of the UCB, as such the application can be supported under Section 2.3.2 of Implementation Guideline #7. It is recommended that Council support the request to seek approval from Metro Vancouver to provide a sanitary service connection to the property. RECOMMENDATION: That the request to provide a sanitary service connection to 23154 128 Avenue be supported and forwarded to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Board for consideration. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The property at 23154 128 Avenue is an active farm and single family residence zoned RS-3 with an agricultural OCP designation. The subject property is located outside the Urban Containment Boundary (UCB) and the existing structures are serviced via an onsite septic system. Under the current Metro Vancouver regulations any extension or amendment of sanitary servicing (including on-site changes in use or capacity) to properties outside of the UCB requires approval of the Metro Vancouver GVS&DD Board. Applications require a municipal Council resolution prior to consideration by the Board, as identified in the Metro Vancouver Implementation Guideline #7. 1106 11-5340-01 Page 1 of 2 I l There is no development proposal associated with this application; the owners wish to connect to the existing sewer fronting their property on 128 Ave due to the age and condition of their 50 year old onsite septic system. This application does not represent a significant change in the sanitary capacity requirement and does not increase the pressure to provide sanitary services for development properties outside of the UCB and as such the application can be supported under Section 2.3.2 of Implementation Guideline #7. b) Desired Outcome: That Metro Vancouver approve the property owner's request for a sanitary service connection to th~onal collection-·system. The service connection shall be sized to accommodate a capacity no greater then necessary to service the existing buildings. c) Alternatives: Not supporting the request would prevent the applicant from connecting to the regional collection system and require an upgrade of the existing on-site septic system. CONCLUSION: The application to seek Metro Vancouver approval to connect to the regional sewer system is consistent with Section 2.3.2 of Metro Vancouver's Implementation Guideline #7, represents a minimal increase to the sanitary flows and does not result in any decrease in the service levels of the existing sanitary sewer system. As such it is recommended that Council support the request and that the application be forwarded to Metro Vancouver for consideration and approval.

Kelly Swift, MBA Acting Chief Administrative Officer Trevor Thompson, BBA, CPA, CGA Chief Financial Officer City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 9 of 52 To the Mayor and Council of the City of Maple Ridge Opinion Independent Auditor's Report We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the City of Maple Ridge and its controlled entities (the "City"), which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2018, and the consolidated Statements of Operations, Change in Net Financial Assets and Cash Flows for the year then ended, and notes and schedules to the consolidated financial statements, comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the City as at December 31, 2018 and its results of operations, changes in net financial assets, and cash flows or the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the City in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the City's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the City or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the City's financial reporting process. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. BOO Canada LLP, a Canadian limited liability partnership, is a member of BOO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BOO network of independent member firms. City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 10 of 52 As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the City's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the City to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The City provides municipal services such as fire, public works, planning, parks, recreation and other general government services. (a} Reporting Entity and Basis of Consolidation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS) using guidelines developed by the Public Sector Accounting Board of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. They consolidate the activities of all of the funds of the City and the City's wholly owned subsidiaries C.D.M.R. Developments Ltd. and Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd. Transactions between the City's funds and wholly owned subsidiaries have been eliminated and only transactions with outside entities are reported. (b} Basis of Accounting The basis of accounting followed in these financial statements is the accrual method and includes revenues in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to tile revenues and expenses in the period the goods and services were acquired and a liability was incurred. (c} Non-financial Assets Non-financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of business. (d} Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets are a special class of non-financial assets and are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Cost includes all costs directly attributable to acquisition or construction of the tangible capital asset including transportation and installation costs, design and engineering fees, legal fees and site preparation costs. Interest costs are not capitalized. Amortization is recorded on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the tangible capital asset commencing once the asset is put into use. Assets under construction are not amortized. Contributed tangible capital assets are recorded at fair value at the time of the contribution and are also recorded as revenue. Estimated useful lives of tangible capital assets are as follows: Buildings (including building components) Transportation network Storm sewer system Fleet and equipment Technology Water system Sanitary sewer system Furniture and fixtures Structures 7 to 50 years 10 to 75 years 10 to 75 years 8 to 20 years 3 to 25 years 10 to 85 years 30 to 75 years 3 to 20 years 15 to 75 years City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 17 of 52 Natural resources, works of art and historic assets are not recorded as assets in these consolidated financial statements. (e) Liability for Contaminated Sites Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil, water or sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live organism that exceeds an environmental standard. Liabilities are recorded net of any expected recoveries. A liability for remediation of a contaminated site is recognized when a site is not in productive use and the following criteria are met: i. an environmental standard exists; ii. contamination exceeds the environmental standards; iii. the City is directly responsible or accepts responsibility; iv. it is expected that future economic benefits will be given up; and v. a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made. The liability is recognized as management's best estimate of the cost of post-remediation including operation, maintenance and monitoring that are an integreal part of the remediation strategy for a contaminated site. Management has assessed its potential liabilities for contamination, including sites that are no longer in productive use and sites for which the City accepts responsibility. There were no such sites that had contamination in excess of an environmental standard requiring remediation at this time, therefore no liability was recognized at December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. (f) Revenue Recognition Taxation Taxes are recorded at estimated amounts when they meet the definition of an asset, have been authorized and the taxable event occurs. Annual levies for non-optional municipal services and general administrative services are recorded as taxation for municipal purposes in the year they are levied. Taxes receivable are recognized net of an allowance for anticipated uncollectable amounts. Levies imposed by other taxing authorities are not included as taxes for municipal purposes. Through the British Columbia Assessments' appeal process, taxes may be adjusted by way of supplementary roll adjustments. The effects of these adjustments on taxes are recognized at the time they are awarded. User fees and other revenue Charges for sewer and water usage are recorded as user fees and other revenue. Government transfers Government transfers are recognized as revenue in the financial statements when the transfer is authorized and any eligibility criteria are met, except to the extent that transfer stipulations give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. Government transfers are recorded as deferred revenue when transfer stipulations give rise to a liability and are recognized in the statement of operations as the stipulated liabilities are settled. Development revenues Receipts that are restricted by the legislation of senior governments or by agreement with external parties are a liability of the municipality and are reported as Restricted Revenues at City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 18 of 52 ·~--,--~---the time they are received. When qualifying expenditures are incurred Restricted Revenues are brought into revenue as development revenue. Restricted Revenues are comprised of the amounts shown in Note 9. Investment income Investment income is recorded on the accrual basis and recognized when earned. Investment income is allocated to various reserves and operating funds on a proportionate basis. To the extent that financial instruments have no stated rate of return, investment income is recognized as it is received. Contributed tangible capital assets Subdivision developers are required to provide subdivision infrastructure such as streets, lighting, sidewalks, and drainage etc. Upon completion these assets are turned over to the City. Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and are also recorded as revenue. (g) Use of estimates/measurement uncertainty The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian PSAS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring use of management estimates relate to the useful lives of tangible capital assets, determination of employee future benefits, the outcome of litigation and claims, and the percentage of completion of buildings and subdivision inspections. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (h) Budget figures The budget figures reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the 2018 component of the Financial Plan Bylaw adopted by Council on May 8, 2018. (i) Financial instruments The City's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, portfolio investments, accounts receivable, recoverable local improvements, other assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, refundable performance deposits and debt. Unless otherwise indicated, it is management's opinion that the City is not exposed to any significant interest, credit or currency risks arising from these financial instruments. U) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of the amounts held in the City's bank accounts and investments with an original maturity date of three months or less. (k) Portfolio Investments Investments with an original maturity date of more than three month are reported as portfolio investments. Investments and pooled investments are reported using the cost method. Provisions for declines in the market value of investments are recorded when they are considered to be other than temporary. Declines in the market values of investments are considered to be other than temporary when the carrying value exceeds market value for more than three years. City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 19 of 52 (I) Basis of segmentation (Segment Report, Note 21) Municipal services have been segmented by grouping services that have similar service objectives (by function). Revenues that are directly related to the costs of the function have been attributed to each segment. Interest expense is allocated to functions based on the purpose of specific borrowings. (m) Employee future benefits The City and its employees make contributions to the Municipal Pension Plan, and the employees accrue benefits under this plan based on service. The City's contributions are expensed as incurred. (Note 20) Sick leave benefits and retirement severance benefits are also available to the City's employees. The costs of these benefits are actuarially determined based on service and best estimates of retirement ages and expected future salary and wage increases. The liabilities under these benefit plans are accrued based on projected benefits prorated as the employees render services necessary to earn the future benefits.

Cash and cash equivalents 2. Cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2018 were comprised as follows: Cash Cash equivalents $ $ Dec 31, 2018 11,960,755 $ 10.225,986 22,186,741 $ Dec 31, 2017 20,631,877 7,000,000 27,631,877 Cash equivalents are comprised of high-interest savings accounts or term deposits held at Canadian banking institutions with effective interest rates of 2.46% (1.5% -1.9% for 2017). Additionally, the City holds cash and cash equivalents of $3,281,038 ($3,288,086 for 2017) and agreements and interest receivable of $193,474 ($215,934 for 2017) for trusts which are not reported elsewhere in the financial statements. They are held for the following trusts: Balance Interest Balance Dec 31, 2017 Earned Receipts Disbursements Dec 31, 2018 Latecomer Fees $ 84,835 $ $ 301,192 $ 273,641 $ 112,386 Cemetery Perpetual Care 1,151,604 30,859 54,418 30,859 1,206,022 Election Surplus 7,187 7,187 Metro Vancouver Sewer & Drainage 955,106 637,863 1,023,886 569,083 District Albion Dyking District 1,312,476 711 272,379 5 732 1,579.834 $ 3,504,021 $ 31,570 $ 1,273,039 $ 1,334,118 $ 3.474,512 Portfolio Investments Portfolio investments include Canadian bank notes and BC Credit Union term deposits with effective interest rates of 2.12% -5.65%. A portion of the bank notes held have interest payments linked to the performance of a set of equities or a financial index without stated or certain interest rates. For these investments, income is recognized as it is received; in 2018 returns were positive and ranged to 4.0%. Included in interest earnings are gains on investments sold before maturity. In 2018 gains were $Nil ($71,498 for 2017). The City does not hold any asset backed commercial paper or hedge funds. The carrying value of securities is based on the cost method whereby the cost of the security is adjusted to reflect investment income that is accruing and any permanent decline in market value. During the term of individual investments there will be fluctuations in market values. Such fluctuations are considered normal, and if held to maturity, market value will be equal to face value. The carrying value of Portfolio Investments at December 31, 2018 was $201,666,082 ($187,717,851 for 2017). The market value at December 31, 2018 was $201,793,693 ($187,715,380 for 2017). 3.

Recoverable Local Improvements The City provides interim financing for certain geographically localized capital projects. It recovers these amounts from benefiting property owners. Interest rates are established at the outset of the process and are a function of borrowing rates at the time. Repayment is typically made over fifteen years. 5. Other Assets 6. Debt Reserve Fund: The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia (MFA) provides capital financing for regional districts and their member municipalities. The MFA is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. Each regional district, through its member municipalities who share in the proceeds of a debt issue, is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund certain amounts set out in the debt agreements. The MFA pays into the Debt Reserve Fund these monies from which interest earned thereon less administrative expenses becomes an obligation to the regional districts. It must then use this fund, if at any time there are insufficient funds, to meet payments on its obligations. If this occurs, the regional districts may be called upon to restore the fund. Upon the maturity of a debt issue the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be discharged to the City. The City has estimated that there is only a remote possibility that these funds will not be paid to it and therefore these funds have been included in Other Assets of $779,813 ($763,208 for 2017). Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities 2018 2017 Accounts Payable: General $ 10,182,695 $ 5,587,746 Other Governments 11,372,311 12,197,994 Salaries and Wages 1,860,221 1,701,308 23,415,227 19,487,048 Accrued Liabilities: Vacation Pay 484,008 401,134 Other Vested Benefits 959,057 907,569 1,443,065 1,308,703 $ 24,858,292 $ 20,795,751 7. Contingencies, Commitments and Unrecognized Liabilities: (a) Third Party Claims Where losses related to litigation are likely and can be reasonably estimated management accrues its best estimate of loss. For 2018 this estimate is $326,015 ($171,236 for 2017). These amounts are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. There are various other claims by and against the City, the outcome of which cannot reasonably be estimated. Any ultimate settlements will be recorded in the year the settlements occur. (b) Contractual Obligations In 1998 the City entered into an agreement to purchase ice sheet time for five years commencing in 1999, with five five-year renewal options. In 2018, the agreement was renewed for an additional five-year period. The minimum annual payment due for the provision of ice time is $638,000. Additonal ice time is purchased separately. These payments are recorded as expenses when the ice time is provided. City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 22 of 52 1 {c} Unrecognized Liability The City holds shares in a non-profit organization that provides protective services to its members. Should the organization dissolve or management choose to withdraw from the organization the City would be liable for a proportionate share of any debt the organization held at that time. The liability is expected to be discharged over time through payments by the City and others for the provision of these services by the organization. Due to the ongoing operations of the organization the liability could only be quantified if the City chose to withdraw. Consequently no liability has been recognized in these financial statements. 8.

Employee Future Benefits The City provides employee future benefits in the form of severance benefits and vested and non-vested sick leave to qualifying employees. These benefits are not separately funded. Severance benefits are cash settlements paid to employees who cease their employment with the City after a specified period of time. Employees hired before February 11, 1999 qualify for five days pay per year of employment, provided they either work a minimum of 20 years with the City or retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. Full time employees hired after February 11, 1999 qualify for 20 days pay provided they work a minimum of 10 years with the City and retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act. The City permits regular employees to accumulate up to 18 days per year of service for future illnesses up to a maximum of 250 days. For certain qualifying employees a portion of this benefit vests; for the balance, this benefit does not vest and cannot be converted to any other type of benefit. An actuarial valuation of these benefits was performed to determine the City's liability and accrued benefit obligation as at December 31, 2018. The valuation resulted in an unamortized actuarial gain of $861,200 at December 31, 2018, (unamortized loss of $364,900 for 2017). Actuarial gains or losses are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of employees. The benefit liability at December 31, 2018 was $4,662,100, ($4,657,300 for 2017) comprised as follows: Accrued benefit obligation, beginning of year Add: Current service costs Interest on accrued benefit obligation Actuarial (gain)/loss Less: Benefits paid during the year Accrued benefit obligation, end of year Add (Less): Unamortized actuarial gain (loss) Accrued benefit liability $ 2018 4,932,200 $ 397,600 143,900 (1,192,800) (480,000) 3,800,900 861,200 4,662,100 Actuarial assumptions used to determine the City's accrued benefit obligation are as follows: Discount rate (long-term borrowing rate) Expected future inflation rate Merit and inflationary wage and salary increases averaging Estimated average remaining service life of employees (years) 2018 3.00% 2.00% 2.68% 11.0 City of Maple Ridge -Statement of Financial Information Page 24 of 52 2017 5,102,900 343,800 148,300 (662,800) 4,932,200 (364,900) 4,567,300 2017-2.90% 2.00% 3.04% 13.0 11.

Contractual Rights (a) Contributed Tangible Capital Assets There are a number of development projects in progress throughout the City where there is a requirement for the developer to provide infrastructure to the City such as roads, sewers, sidewalks and street lighting. The fair value of the infrastructure is recognized as "contributed tangible capital assets" revenue in these consolidated financial statements when the City accepts responsibility for the infrastructure. Fair value will be determined at the time the assets are recognized. (b) Land Sale The City has entered into an agreement that will result in the phased sale of certain City lands. The City expects title to part of the lands to transfer to the purchaser in 2019 and the balance in 2020. Total proceeds of $4,000,000 will be received as title transfers. 20. Pension Plan The employer and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (a jointly trusteed pension plan). The board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for administering the plan, including investment of assets and administration of benefits. The plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. Basic pension benefits are based on a formula. As at December 31. 2017, the plan has about 197,000 active members and approximately 95,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 39,000 contributors from local governments. Every three years, an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the plan and adequacy of plan funding. The actuary determines an appropriate combined employer and member contribution rate to fund the plan. The actuary's calculated contribution rate is based on the entry-age normal cost method, which produces the long-term rate of member and employer contributions sufficient to provide benefits for average future entrants to the plan. This rate may be adjusted for the amortization of any actuarial funding surplus and will be adjusted for the amortization of any unfunded actuarial liability. The most recent valuation for the Municipal Pension Plan as of December 31, 2015, indicated a $2,224 million funding surplus for basic pension benefits on a going concern basis. As a result of the 2015 basic account actuarial valuation surplus and pursuant to the joint trustee agreement, $1.927 million was transferred to the rate stabilization account and $297 million of the surplus ensured the required contribution rates remained unchanged. The City of Maple Ridge paid $3,390,825 (2017 $3,436,295) for employer contributions while employees contributed $2,810,502 (2017 $2,817,284) to the plan in fiscal 2018. The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2018, with results available in 2019. Employers participating in the plan record their pension expense as the amount of employer contributions made during the fiscal year (defined contribution plan accounting). This is because the plan records accrued liabilities and accrued assets for the plan in aggregate, resulting in no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the obligation, assets and cost to individual employers participating in the plan.

These festivals encourage community spirit, celebration of place, citizen engagement, volunteerism and provide opportunities for social, economic and cultural development. Grant funding supports festivals of different sizes from small, grassroots events to medium and large events that attract thousands of participants. The funding provided typically supports expenses such as road closures, eq'uipment rental and safety related requirements. Eligible special event organizations may apply for funding through two annual funding intake processes. The Festival Grant Program's approved annual budget is $92,700. Recommendations for support allocations in 2019's second intake are outlined in the summary chart (Attachment A) based on the program's criteria. RECOMMENDATION: That festival support allocations totaling $15,580 for events taking place between November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, as outlined in Attachment A of this report titled UFestival Grant Program Summary Chart -Intake Two 2019" be approved. DISCUSSION: a} Background Context: The first intake of the Festival Support Grant Program was completed in February, 2019 for events scheduled between May 1 and October 31, 2019, where a total of $77,120 was allocated. The balance of $15,580 to support festivals and special events taking place between November 1, 2019 and April 30, 2020 was reviewed during the second intake process. Applications for festival support were reviewed by an internal Festival Grant Committee comprised of representatives from Parks, Economic Development, Finance and Culture, on May 24, 2019, and evaluated with reference to the benefit criteria outlined in the Festival Support Policy ("the Policy"). This included financial documentation to demonstrate their need and justification for financial support. The Committee also considered each application's alignment with Tourism, Economic Development and Parks, Recreation and Culture planning goals. Applicants are mainly non-profit and/or charitable organizations in our community, or have a regional mandate that includes the delivery of services and programs in Maple Ridge. Doc # 2207964 Page 1of 3 1151 The Committee recommends the following allocation: • $11,400 for three eligible non-profit organizations presenting medium and large size community festivals. A modest increase to the funding for the Maple Ridge Christmas Festival Society to address continued enhancements to public safety measures during the Santa Claus Parade. An additional increase is also recommended for the CP Holiday Train event to fund safety requirements; this event has great value to the community through the Friends in Need Food Bank Society. • $4,180 for grassroots and emerging new events such as Art Studio Tour, Drumming Circle, Mad Hatter Event, Ridge Meadows Got Talent, Music on the Wharf and more. In addition, the Committee noted the growth of special events, their complexity and rising costs for insurance, traffic management, public safety and health. Staff will review additional support to address increasing safety requirements and encourage more vibrancy and animation in the Town Centre during the business planning process and will bring any items forward for Council's review at that time. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is that the Festival Grant Program continues to contribute towards a healthy, engaged, creative and inclusive community and raises community spirit and the profile of Maple Ridge. c) Strategic Alignment: Supporting and enhancing the quality, scope and diversity of festivals and special events through the Festival Grant Program contributes to enhanced community spirit and pride and community safety. In addition, special events contribute towards recognizing Maple Ridge as a destination and community with rich arts and culture opportunities. This fits within the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan (2010), Culture Plan (2018), Tourism Strategy (2018), Council's Strategic Priorities (2019) and other key planning documents. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Festival Grant Program provides assistance to community groups and partners to implement positive recreational and cultural festivals and special events. This will encourage strong citizen engagement and the development of a safe and vibrant community for all ages and abilities. In 2018, there were over 70 events with a total attendance of over 185,000 and volunteer contributions in excess of 22,000 hours. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The recommended level of festival grant funding falls within the approved Parks, Recreation & Culture operating budget. CONCLUSION: Maple Ridge's Festival Grant Program helps to nurture outdoor festivals and special events that add to the vitality and cultural diversity of the community. These community celebrations offer opportunities to create economic, social, health and community benefits that have a meaningful and lasting impact on our residents.
