A Temporary Use Permit was authorized on July 11, 2017, and expires on July 11, 2020. The owner would like to renew the Temporary Use Permit for an additional three years. A Temporary Use Permit may only be renewed once, therefore, this will be the final Temporary Use Permit that can be issued for the subject properties. The owner is intending to apply for a Rezoning Application and Development Permit to allow the use. The extension of the Temporary Use Permit will continue to legitimize the use, while the Rezoning application is processed. RECOMMENDATION: That Temporary Use Permit 2014-003-CU, respecting properties located at 19975, 19989, 19997 Dunn Avenue, be renewed and re-issued for an additional three years and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal the renewed permit.

Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 amended Appendix D -Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) to allow the temporary storage of vehicles on the subject properties (see Appendix C). The applicant would like to renew the Temporary Use Permit for an additional three years. It is noted that the applicant has not completed the cedar hedging required as a condition of the Temporary Use Permit; however, they will be providing an updated landscape plan with a future Rezoning application (under application 2020-186-RZ). This landscape plan is intended to be improved beyond the required cedar hedging. Staff will work with the applicant to ensure that an appropriate level of landscaping is provided while the Rezoning application is processed. Alternatively, Council may require the cedar hedging as a component of this extension application. Should there be issues or concerns with continuation of this use on the subject properties, Council is under no obligation to approve this extension to the permit. Should Council approve the extension, this will be the only extension permitted for the vehicle storage, as provided under the Local Government Act. Official Community Plan: The subject properties are located within the Hammond Area Plan of the OCP and are currently designated Institutional. The Institutional designation was intended to allow for expansion of the West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility, which is located to the south of the subject properties. Translink, who currently owns the subject properties, does not need the properties for expansion at this time, and are therefore entering into a long-term lease agreement with the auto dealership to permit the vehicle storage. Translink has provided a letter of support for the Temporary Use Permit and for the forthcoming Rezoning application (see Appendix D). 2014-003-RZ Page 2 of 3
------------------------·~~~.----~-----------~------The Rezoning application is intended to also include the remaining two properties to the east on this block, located at 20019 and 20035 Dunn Avenue, which are also designated Institutional in the OCP. All five properties subject to the Rezoning application will also require an amendment to the OCP to re-designate the properties from Institutional to Infill General Employment. The Rezoning application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to CD-4-20 (Comprehensive Development) to permit the proposed vehicle storage. The applicant is not proposing a building for the development; however they will provide a landscaping plan. A Comprehensive Development zone is permitted within any land use designation. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that Temporary Use Permit 2014-003-CU, respecting properties located at 19975, 19989, and 19997 Dunn Avenue, be renewed and re-issued for an additional three years and that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal the renewed permit.

The subject properties are located at 19975, 19989, and 19997 Dunn Avenue (see Appendices A and B). Council granted first reading to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 and considered the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment on March 25, 2014. A text amendment to Appendix D -Temporary Use Permits of the OCP is proposed to allow a Temporary Use Permit on the subject properties (see Appendix C). It is recommended that application 2014-003-CU be granted second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) That, in accordance with Section 4 77 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and on-going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 on the municipal website, and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw; 2) That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014, as amended in the March 7, 2016 staff report, be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 3) That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4) That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 be given second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5) That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading: i} Amendment to Official Community Plan Appendix D -Temporary Use Permits to add the subject properties to the list of Temporary Use Permit locations; ii} Provision of a landscape security for fencing and perimeter hedge planting; and iii} Issuance of a Highway Use Permit to restore the existing boulevard and provision of a security as outlined in the permit. -1-

The subject properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership (see Appendix D), and this OCP amendment will bring the properties into compliance. The long-term use of the subject properties is expected to be an expansion of the West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility on the south side of Dunn Avenue, once capacity of the existing parking lot is reached, potentially in the next five to ten years. - 2 -
3) Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The subject properties are located in west Maple Ridge and are currently designated Institutional. An OCP amendment is required to add the subject properties into Appendix D -Temporary Use Permits of the OCP. Appendix D of the OCP states the following: 1. Lands in the District may be designated to permit temporary uses if a condition or circumstance exists that warrants the use for a short period of time but does not warrant a change of land use designation or zoning of the property. 2. Council has the authority by resolution to issue Temporary Use Permits to allow temporary uses on specific properties. Council may specify conditions for the temporary use. 3. Designated Temporary Use Permit areas will require guidelines that specify the general conditions regarding the issuance of permits, the use of the land, and the date the use is to terminate. 4. As a condition of issuing the permit, Council may require applicants or owners to remove buildings, to restore the property to a specific condition when the use ends, and to post a security bond. A permit may be issued for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed only once. 5. Council may issue Temporary Use Permits to allow: a) temporary commercial uses, i.e., temporary parking areas; and b) temporary industrial uses, i.e. soil screening. 6. A Temporary Use Permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 492 of the Local Government Act. The subject properties are currently owned by BC Transit and are anticipated to be used for an expanded West Coast Express Park and Ride facility in the future; therefore, a Temporary Use Permit as outlined in points 1 and 2 above is more appropriate than a rezoning application. Furthermore, as outlined in points 2 and 3 above, the Temporary Use Permit may have conditions and guidelines for the use to occur, as well as removal and restoration requirements once the permit terminates. These conditions and guidelines are similar to rezoning conditions such as engineering servicing improvements, landscaping, and fencing. It is important to note that the Temporary Use Permits are now valid for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed and extended only once. The main difference between rezoning and temporary use permits is the duration of time that the use is permitted on the property. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The subject properties are zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and this zoning will remain in place over the duration of the Temporary Use Permit. iii) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held at Meadow Garden Golf Club on February 10, 2016. There were no attendees at the meeting, and no concerns were raised with the applicant. 4) Traffic Impact: As the subject properties are located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, a referral has been sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. At this time, the Ministry has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns. -3-
5) Interdepartmental Implications: The Temporary Use Permit has been reviewed by the Engineering, Fire, and Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Departments. The Engineering Department requires that the boulevard be reinstated and remain free of vehicles. The Fire Department requires that the lot surfacing can support the weight of a fire truck, and that a minimum six metre (20 ft) manoeuvring aisle is maintained to provide emergency vehicle access. 6) School District No. 42 Comments: Pursuant to Section 4 76 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is required at the time of preparing or amending the OCP. A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on January 26, 2016. 7) Intergovernmental Issues: i) Local Government Act: An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 4 77 of the Local Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to amend Appendix D -Temporary Use Permits of the OCP is proposed to allow a Temporary Use Permit on the subject properties, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: This Temporary Use Permit application is to bring the existing vehicle storage use into compliance. The subject properties are currently owned by BC Transit and are anticipated to be used for an expanded West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility in the future; therefore, a Temporary Use Permit is more appropriate than a rezoning application. It is recommended that second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014, and that application 2014-003-CU be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Translink has granted to AutoCanada a license to use the property as dealership parking. The license is set to expire on July 14, 2021. Translink and AutoCanada are actively negotiating a long-term license that would require AutoCanada to rezone the property and construct a permanent parking facility. The license would grant to AutoCanada the use of the facility for up to 20 years, or until such time as Translink requires the facility for expansion of the Maple Meadows Park & Ride facility. An extension of the TCUP would provide both parties enough time to complete negotiations, entitlements and construction of the facilities. Please let us know if you require any further information.

British Columbia mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: FROM: SUBJECT: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7656-2020 MEETING DATE: FILE NO: MEETING: 19975, 19989, 19997, 20019, and 20035 Dunn Avenue EXECUTIVE SUM MARY: July 7, 2020 2020-186-RZ cow An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at 19975, 19989, 19997, 20019, and 20035 Dunn Avenue, from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to CD-4-20 (Comprehensive Development), to permit vehicle storage for an adjacent car dealership to the north. This site is located within the Hammond Area at the northern edge of the Plan boundary. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v. Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the City's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; 2. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7656-2020 be given first reading; and 3. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, and D of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. .1102 2020-186-RZ Page 1 of 5

b) Project Description: The subject properties, 19975, 19989, 19997, 20019, and 20035 Dunn Avenue, are located on the north side of Dunn Avenue, north of the West Coast Express Maple Meadows Station, and south of the existing auto dealership associated with this application. The three properties, located at 19975, 19989, and 19997 Dunn Avenue, are currently used for outdoor vehicle storage, under a Temporary Use Permit (2014-003-CU). A separate report on renewal of this Temporary Use Permit for an additional three years is also being brought forward for Council's consideration. The two western properties, located at 20019 and 20035 Dunn Avenue are currently vacant (see Appendices A and B). The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject properties to allow for outdoor vehicle storage for the adjacent, existing car dealership to the north (see Appendix C). 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 further reports 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. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject properties are located within the Hammond Area Plan of the Official Community Plan (OCP) and are currently designated Institutional. The Institutional designation was intended to allow for the expansion of the West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility, which is located to the south of the subject properties. Translink, who currently owns the subject properties, does not need the properties for expansion at this time, and are therefore entering into a long-term lease agreement with the auto dealership to permit the vehicle storage. Translink has provided a letter of support for the Temporary Use permit and for this Rezoning application (see Appendix D). Thus, justification has been provided to support an OCP amendment to re-designate and rezone the subject properties for Infill General Employment use. There are challenges in meeting the intent of the Hammond Area Plan for this area. The Institutional designation is not the highest and best use of the properties, nor does it support rezoning for vehicle storage, therefore an OCP amendment is required to amend the land use designation from Institutional to Infill General Employment. A Comprehensive Development zone is permitted within any land use designation. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to CD-4-20 (Comprehensive Development) to permit the proposed vehicle storage (see Appendix C). The applicant is not proposing a building for the development; however they will provide a landscaping plan. 2020-186-RZ Page 3 of 5
The subject properties are going to be subject to a long-term lease between Translink and AutoCanada, therefore the properties will not be consolidated at this time. Development Permits: A Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal's compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. Advisory Design Panel: A 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. d) 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; and h) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. e) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. f) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 2020-186-RZ Page 4 of 5
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); and 3. A Development Permit Application (Schedule D). The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal differs from the current OCP designation as the subject properties were designated Institutional to allow for expansion of the West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility. Justification has been provided to support an OCP amendment to re-designate and rezone the subject properties for a General Employment use, as Translink has expressed that the lands are not needed at this time to support the West Coast Express Park-and-Ride facility. It is therefore recommended that Council grant first reading, subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading.

Three of the proposed fifteen units are designed to have tandem parking. As 240 Street is classified by the City as a Major Corridor, vehicle access for the development is preferred to come from 103 Avenue which is a local road (See Appendices A and B). A watercourse, identified as part of Spencer Creek, is located on the eastern side of the subject property. An Environmental Assessment was submitted in the early stages of this project to assist staff with the determination of buildable area on site. Further environmental reports will be reviewed as part of the required Development Permit for Natural Features and Watercourse Protection. From surrounding applications we are aware that portions of Spencer Creek are fish bearing and portions are not. An earlier development on the adjacent property to the east dedicated the area around the creek for conservation. The subject proposal is including dedication of the eastern portion of the site for conservation in a similar context. The applicant is requesting to use the Albion Area Plan density bonus structure to increase the density FSR from 0.60 to 0.75 under the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone. The applicant will then be requested to pay a $3,100.00 density bonus rate per unit in addition to the $4,100.00 CAC 2019-405-RZ Page 2 of 5
contribution per unit. The density bonus is payable for a resulting site density exceeding the allowed FSR from 0.60 to a maximum of 0. 75. To ensure the adjacent property to the south can develop in future, while reflecting the environmental setbacks around Spencer Creek and not be landlocked by the subject proposal, staff requested the applicant provide the City with a potential design for the adjacent property. The proposed development design shows how the adjacent site could develop with townhouses on the west side of the site, with access provided by a reciprocal access agreement through the subject property under the current rezoning application. On the east side of this adjacent site, the proposed environmentally protected area, single-family lots are proposed. At the time of the subject application, staff was informed that there was no interest shown by the owner of this adjacent property to consolidate with the proposed development. 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 further reports will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed development boundaries and unit yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Medium Density Residential, and Conservation. The subject Medium Density Residential designation allows for a range of housing styles and densities, including smaller lot single detached housing, townhouse and duplex dwelling units. The Albion Area Plan furthermore provides for the opportunity of density bonus for increased floor space ratio (FSR) in certain zones, including RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone. The Conservation designation identifies ecological sensitive lands requiring protection in order to ensure health, diversity and integrity are maintained. The subject lands are considered to be of high environmental or geological sensitivity. The applicant is proposing the highest and best use of the subject property under the Albion Area Plan by proposing a townhouse development using the density bonus option, while dedicating the eastern portion around the watercourse including additional land to the east. The additional dedicated parkland provides compensation for allowing a reduced setback from the top of bank, based on Provincial regulations, from 30 metres to 22.5 metres. The proposal results in a habitat gain supportable by staff. An OCP amendment will be required to allow the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zoning and Conservation designation for the proposed development Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 10294 240 Street from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit future construction of a townhouse site with approximately 15 units (see Appendix D). Required 2019-405-RZ Page 3 of 5
setbacks to the front, rear and exterior side property lines are 7 .5 metres and 4.5 metres to the interior side property line. The proposed variations from the requirements of the RM1-zone indicated on the site plan in Appendix D 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. Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for: • All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule "B", • All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %; • All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C" To ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and for development that is protected from hazardous conditions. 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; and h) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. 2019-405-RZ Page 4 of 5
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f} Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 2. A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D); 3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); 4. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 5. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); The above list is intended to be indicative only. Other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It should be noted that once complete information is received, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7646-2020 could be amended and an OCP Amendment to adjust the current Conservation boundary may potentially be required.

City of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: July 7, 2020 FILE NO: 2020-014-RZ FROM: SUBJECT: Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7648-2020; 12209 Laity Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MEETING: C o W An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 12209 Laity Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit a future subdivision of two lots of approximately 454 m2 (4886 ft2) each. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program, and will be requested to pay $5,100.00 for the additional proposed single family residential lot, as the original lot is exempt when proposing fewer than three lots. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7648-2020 be given first reading; and 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B, and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: 2020-014-RZ Pavan Rakhra Amarjeet K Grewal,Diljots Mann, Manpreet K Mann Lot 339, District Lot 242, Group 1, New Westminster District Plan 60659 Urban Residential Urban Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) R-1 (Residential District) 1104 Page 1 of 5
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 Urban Residential) Urban Residential Single Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Urban Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential 915 m2 (0.22 acres) Laity Street Urban Standard The subject property is located at 12209 Laity Street, and designated Urban Residential. Laity Street is considered a Major Corridor under the city's road classification. The subject property is bounded by single family residential lots, and is generally flat, with a single family dwelling and three significant street trees in front of the property on the street boulevard. c) Project Description: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 12209 Laity Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), in order to create two single family residential lots of approximately 454 and 459 m2 in area, with a shared driveway (see Appendices A and B). The two new lots are approximately 39.6 metres in depth and are each 11.58 metres wide. The proposed zone requires a width of 12 metres, therefore a Development Variance Permit application is required. With the application, an arborist report was submitted, identifying three significant street trees in front of the property on the street boulevard, restricting opportunities to access the proposed lots. In order to avoid the need to cut City owned street trees, and preserve the significant street trees in the road allowance, a shared driveway with an easement is required. Such a solution was implemented in nearby developments on Laity Street, supported by Engineering. The shared driveway will be required to be registered via Statutory Right-of-Way on proposed Lot 1, as a condition of rezoning. The applicant is proposing to use permeable pavers along the entire frontage of both lots for the shared driveway. To protect the critical root zones of the significant street trees, the arborist report is suggesting silva cells or structural soil within the critical root zones. This will be determined by the professional arborist at the time of servicing. 2020-014-RZ Page 2 of 5
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 further reports will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is currently designated Urban Residential and situated along Laity Street, classified as a major corridor. OCP policy 3-18 describes the general characteristics for Major Corridor Residential Infill: a) Major Corridor Residential is characterized by the following: i. has frontage on an existing Major Road Corridor as identified on Figure 4 Proposed Major Corridor Network Plan, or has frontage on a road built in whole or part to a collector, arterial, Translink Major Road, or Provincial Highway standard; ii. may be adjacent to Community Commercial Node, or designated commercial centre. b) Includes ground oriented housing forms such as single detached dwellings, garden suites, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, courtyard residential developments, townhouses, apartments, or small lot intensive residential, subject to compliance with Major Corridor Residential Infill policies 3-20 and 3-21. These OCP policies require infill developments to respect and reinforce the physical patterns and characteristics of the neighbourhood. Furthermore, OCP Policy 3-20 (b) limits the height of dwellings to 21/2 storeys. A majority of the existing homes in the area are two storeys and include front setbacks of in excess of the 7.5 metre setback in the existing RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone. Thus, it is proposed that there be registration of a restrictive covenant on the subject property that: a) Limits building height to 9.5 metres, less than the 11 metre height in the proposed R-1 zone. b) Includes a minimum front yard setback of 7.5 metre, greater than the 5.5 metre setback in the proposed R-1 zone. By requiring the above covenant along with the proposed R-1 zoning, the proposed development is consistent with the above OCP policies. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) (see Appendix C) to permit future subdivision into two lots (see Appendix D). The subject property is 914.9m2 in area, and the minimum lot size for the proposed zone is 371m2. The proposal is creating two single-family lots of approximately 454m2 and 459m2 in area, each 11.58m in width. As the proposed zone requires a 12m width, such a variation from the R-1 zone requirements will require a Development Variance Permit application to be approved as a condition of rezoning approval. 2020-014-RZ Page 3 of 5
The proposed development complies with the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone's front yard setback of 5.5 metres based on the site plan and the proposed covenant requiring an increased setback of 7.5 metres. Approval of the subject rezoning with the above-noted covenant will allow for continuation of existing single-family building forms in this block with the protection of the existing significant street trees in mind. No OCP amendment will therefore be required to allow the proposed zoning. Advisory Design Panel: No Development Permit is required, and therefore the application will not be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading. Development Information Meeting: The proposed is creating two single family residential lots, and a Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. 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) Building Department; and d) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this tJme; therefore, an evaluation of servicing and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. e) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); and 3. A Subdivision Application The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. 2020-014-RZ Page 4 of 5
CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the Approving Officer.

That the application for a non medical cannabis retail store by Muse Cannabis Stores Ltd. located at 510 -20395 Lougheed Highway, Maple Ridge be denied based on the information contained in the staff report dated June 23, 2020; and 3. That a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch in accordance with the legislative requirements. DISCUSSION: Doc a) Background Context: On November 27, 2018, Council adopted Council policy 6.33 Cannabis Retail Store Processing and Evaluation Criteria. The Policy determines how approvals for cannabis retail are to be processed at the municipal level. This Policy was amended on May 12, 2020 to reflect current updates. After the LCRB completed their financial integrity checks and security screenings for Muse Cannabis Stores Ltd., they forwarded the application for a non medical retail cannabis store, 1106 Page 1 of 3
known as Muse Cannabis, to be located at 510 -20395 Lougheed Highway to the City. The applicant for Muse Cannabis also contacted city staff to provide a copy of their business plan as well information on their community relations (Appendix II). Staff reviewed this application to ensure that it met all requirements contained in the Policy including the Application Review Criteria (Section 10 of Council Policy 6.33). All the criteria have been fully satisfied except for Article A, which is the requirement for a 1000 metre separation from another cannabis retail store. The 1000 metre requirement still exists in the Zoning Bylaw but staff have been directed to remove this. The bylaw is currently being processed. This proposed store is 340 metres from the government store at 20690 Lougheed Highway which is in the process of being rezoned (rezoning# 2019-427-RZ). A map of the surrounding area has been included in this report as Appendix I. 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 234 letters to owners and occupants of property within 200 metres of the subject site. Out of the 234 letters sent, 7 responses were received by the deadline, five opposed and two in favour of the application (Appendix Ill). 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 also choose to approve the application with conditions. CONCLUSIONS: That Council make the necessary resolution regarding the application from Muse Cannabis Stores Ltd. based upon the staff findings set out in this report. Doc #2466776 Page 2 of 3

APPENDIX II } / CANNABIS STORE Business Operations Detail April 2020
Summary The purposes of the Business Operational Detail is to review with the City of Maple Ridge the proposed business operational undertakings with respect to non-medical retailing cananbis within a commercial business unit within the City. The processes and procedures outlined have been based upon the organizations extensive history within the highly regulated liquor indust1y. Experience Muse Cannabis is owned by affiliate company shareholders of JAKS Beer Wine Spirits. JAK's has been in the liquor and hospitality industry for decades. JAk's is a private liquor store retailer with 16 locations across BC, including the Westgate Centre, Maple Ridge where the proposed cannabis store is applying to be located. JAK's is a family owned and operated business and now JAKS has decided to branch into non-medical cannabis. The government's approach to retail Cannabis closely resembles their approach to liquor. Muse Cannabis intends to take what it has learned over the decades with respect to retail operations, compliance and sales of a controlled substances. MUSE Cannabis The MUSE Cannabis Store brand will be positioned similar to that of JAKS Beer Wine Spirits. JAK'S brand promises are a unique product selection, outstanding customer service and an unsurpassed in store experience. At the start of the retail Cannabis industry all retailers will have access to the same products. However, over time we expect that there will be the same opportunities for exclusive products and private label in Cannabis that exist in liquor to allow for differentiation. Similar to the JAK's model, Muse Cannabis focus on hiring local members of the community who are passionate about consumer education, and provincial compliance with respect to Cannabis. Muse will interact closely with our consumers to educate them on the variety of strains carried within the store including CBD and THC content percentages to allow the consumer to make an educated purchase. Muse will position itself as experts in the retail Cannabis Industry with a focus on compliance and community support. Lastly, Muse will create the best instore experience for its guests. This will include a well-lit, comfortable and clean environment' where our guests will be able to browse the different sections of our store and learn more about Cannabis. The first operational Muse Cannabis is located at 3039 Granville Street in Vancouver. We invite you visit to understand what our store will look like from a consumer perspective. 1 See attached MUSE Cannabis Retail Deck. PAGE1
Furthermore, Muse stores will have branded signage, common music, uniformed staff, and clean lines to elevate the guest shopping experience. All of these items combined will create an upmarket experience for consumers. The same type of experience our guests at JAKS Beer Wine Spirits have grown accustomed to. Hours of Operation The applicant is proposing hours of operation from 9am -npm Monday thru Sunday. These hours have been regulated by the Province of British Columbia and are in keeping with the liquor store hours of operation. Employees The applicant intends to have approximately 12-15 employees dedicated and certified to work within the store. Employees will be on a management created schedule and will be placed depending upon daily sales volumes. Muse Cannabis Stores believe its employees are the stores first line of defense to deter theft and mitigate possible risk. Those who are passionate about the indust1y and truly engaged to provide knowledge to consumers will be hired. All employees will have the accreditation as mandated by the Province of British Columbia prior to commencing their work with Muse. The Muse executive team is comprised of the following individuals: 1. Mike McKee -Officer, Director, Shareholder and Accountant 2. Geoff Dear -Senior Manager of Operations 3. Matt Kettlewell -Senior Manager of Purchasing 4, John Kettlewell -Founder of JAK Group, Executive Advisor Inventory All invento1y will arrive via the government of British Columbia run cannabis distribution branch. Orders will be placed, via Muse's central purchaser with oversite by Mr. Dear. Orders are based upon store sales volumes and consumer demand. The applicant intends to limit the amount of product within the store to maintain security. Muse does not maintain large storage reservoirs of product. Rather, they cycle in product weekly to ensure unsurpassed quality and new sku implementation in an ever-changing indust1y. Invent01y will be in a first in, first out model to ensure freshness and to ensure consumers have access to the latest product skus. PAGE2
Disposal of Product Should the need arise for disposal and /or destruction of product, such as a customer return or small amounts of product on display, the applicant intends to implement secure breakdown of product. It is Muse's intent to ensure the product is both unusable and unrecognizable after it has been destroyed. Specifically, cannabis will be rendered unusable on site by being mixed with composting scraps and clay. The destruction will be conducted by a designated employee. Muse will be securing a contract with a facility that has a Certificate of Designation from the department of Public Health and Environment. 2 All inventory being destroyed and disposed of will be recorded and tracked within the invento1y POS System and best practices logbook as per the terms and conditions required by the LCRB. · Cannabis Accessories The store will also carry a mixture or various cananbis accessories as outlined within the LCRB Terms and Conditions manual. These accessories change from time to time depending upon consumer purchasing habits and demand. Point Of Sale Most consumers today spend their money via debit and credit terminals. It is not expected a large amount of cash will be utilized for purchases. There will be two Point of Sale systems on site to ring through customers. Each system will have a float on hand of $300 to make change. When the POS is not in use, i.e. after hours, the cash will be stored within the secure safe located within the secure storage area. Signage The applicant plans to install exterior signage with the Muse branding / logo. Signage will be professionally designed and posted on the exterior. Muse will undertake to comply with all municipal sign bylaws within the City of Maple Ridge. Further, eyelevel signage will appear at the exterior door and if the mall permits along the stairs leading up to the upper level. Exterior signage will be posted where appropriate and will read: >"' "No Minors Permitted At Any time" >"' "No Loitering/ No consumption on premises" 2 https://micronwaste.com/cannabis-waste/ PAGE3
Nuisance Behaviours To mitigate any nuisance behaviours for the surrounding area, Muses has a policy that no queuing and/or loitering may occur outside the cannabis retail store at any time. Additionally, there will be no loitering permitted around the exterior. As per the signage policy, no loitering or consumption on site will be permitted at any time. Consumers will be reminded of the City smoldng bylaws. Staff on schedule as well as the management team will monitor the exterior of the building by way of surveillance systems and perimeter walking. As per the attached security plan, all cannabis products for resale are kept under lock and key. All items are packaged in the original packaging provided by Liquor Cannabis Distribution Branch. It is not expected that there will be a large odor nuisance within the retail store do to the locked up packaging and secure storage as well as secure disposal. It is expected that HVAC equipment within the store will ensure no odors are immitted to the exterior of the building. Intoxicated Patron Policy Muse Cannabis Store has a series of policies and procedures it follows with respect to compliance and enforcement. One such policy is the non-service of intoxicated guests. It is Muse's policy to never sell to a guest who appears to be under the influence of any drugs or alcohol. Should an employee believe a guest be impaired in anyway, that guests will not be permitted to remain in the store. They will be immediately asked to leave. Such signs that Muse employees are trained for include an odour of cannabis or alcohol, slurring of words, unsteadiness, bloodshot eyes, loss of dexterity (e.g.: fumbling for wallet or ID) and unusual behaviours. Deciding what constitutes 'intoxication' is a grey area. Muse employees are trained in such a way, that if they are unsure whether someone is intoxicated, team members are encouraged to take a cautious approach. They must ask themselves "does this person appear fit to drive?" If the answer is "no" then service should be refused. If there is any doubt about a person's level of intoxication service should be refused. Legal Age / Minors All Muse employees must ID any guest that appears to be under the age of 25 years. Should anyone enter the store that appears to be under the age of 25 years, a Muse Employee will immediately request 2 pieces of ID. If a guest cannot produce two pieces of ID or can only produce 1 ID, they will be asked to leave the establishment immediately. It will not matter if the person who has entered the location is making a purchase or not. Only those that are over the age of 19 will be permitted to enter the store. Muse corporate policies follow all provincial and municipal rules and regulations and require their team members to maintain a zero access policy. PAGE4
Security Proposal If approved to move forward, Muse Cannabis will renovate the current unit at the proposed address. Please find attached the detailed floor plan that outlines the points of interior and exterior surveillance. The store will be equipped with security camera, audible fire suppression systems and anti-theft devices as outlined by the Province and in accordance of the rules required by them to maintain the cannabis license. Muse Cannabis is excited to grow within the City of Maple Ridge. They are proud members currently and believe the addition of this new and exciting retail store will enhance community education and consumer awareness towards this emerging market. PAGE5

FORMERLY RH HOSPITALITY SOLUTIONS INC. 604.314.0176 I REBECCA@REBECCAHARDIN.CA Re: Parking outline for Muse Cannabis Store 510-20395 Lougheed Highway, Muse is proposing to make use of the Westgate Center's current on site parking. The site plan attached, shows ample parking within the area. The core/ peak hours of the business are expected to be after 4pm. Based on the placement of the unit, the surrounding retailers would appear to have a lower consumer demand for space at that time as well. There would be no anticipation guests would park along any surrounding street area to visit the location. Some consumers may walk to the centre as it is located within a hub of the community.
Giving Back I Muse + Music Heals in Maple Ridge As a fourth-generation family business, Muse is passionate about giving back to the communities it operates in. This commitment comes to life through supporting local brands and selling local products, hiring top local talent, and through Muse's community partnership with Music Heals. At every Muse grand opening celebration, 10% of sales go directly to support music therapy through Music Heals in that specific community. In addition, the Muse team looks for opportunities throughout the year to raise funds and awareness for music therapy at the store level, and throughout the broader community. In Maple Ridge, Muse will directly support Music Heals' investment in music therapy for the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. According to our partners at Music Heals, the Music Therapy program is one of the most sought after and successful programs at The Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living. Offered once a week, music therapists work with individuals and their support teams to set goals and provide a customized learning experience. Muse is committed to partnering with Music Heals to help expand this program and meet the needs of more individuals in Maple Ridge. There is also an opportunity to strengthen Muse's connection to the Maple Ridge community and to the Ridge Meadows Association for Community Living, by featuring some of the artwork and millwork created by individuals in the program.

THRIVE LIQUOR & CANNABIS INC. FORMERLY RH HOSPITALITY SOLUTIONS INC. 604.314.0176 I REBECCA@REBECCAHARDIN.CA Re: Community Impact Mitigation Muse Cannabis Store Muse Cananbis does not anticipate an impact to the surrounding community. Muse prides itself on being proactive to ensure they are being a good neighbour. Specifically, at their currently operating non-medical cannabis store located at 3039 Granville Street, Muse has had the pleasure of being within the Granville community for just over a year. To ensure they were continuing to be a good neighbour, Muse checks in with local businesses to ensure their business is not negatively impacting their community in anyway. We are pleased to provide the survey conducted for 3039 Granville. They survey shows that Muse continues checks in with local business to make sure there are in fact no community concerns. Additionally, because they are a proud partner of small business, Muse's, along with JAK's have an open communication policy that would allow any member of the community to correspond with them. They are prompt and detailed with any response and always welcome feedback to continually improve. The JAK's Liquor Store's along with Muse have a history of outstanding community partnerships; therefore it is not expected the addition of this retail store would have a community impact.
MUSE Cannabis has been our neighbour in South Granville since June 6th of 2019. MUSE conducts d1eir business in a professional manner and we have not experienced any negative consequences, such as loitering or smoking, since they opened. Further, there arc no cannabis odors emitted from their store. HrstName Last Name Business Name Phone or Email Address

~~~----Jaci Diachuk From: Sent: To: Subject: To: Jaci Diachuk Administrative Assistant 11995 Haney Place Maple Ridge, BC V2X6A9 Hello, Tuesday, May 5, 2020 12:21 PM Jaci Diachuk Proposed Non Medical Cannabis Retail Store I have reviewed your Notice regarding the proposed NON Medical Cannabis Retail Store. I disapprove the idea to open a retail store of this kind of business near a residential area and schools near by. I am children and I can say that having such a free access and propaganda to obtain this drug is absurd. Our government not only imposed some Canadian Citizens to deal with Medical Cannabis retail store but now we need to endure a retail store that will bring the sale of a drug for recreation putting people of all ages at risk. There are some risks on the consumption of Marijuana, "Marijuana has mind-altering compounds that affect both your brain and body. It can be addictive, and it may be harmful to some people's health. Here's what can happen when you use marijuana: You can get High it affects your mental health Your thinking might get distorted • Heighten your senses (colors might seem brighter and sounds might seem louder) • Distort your sense of time e Hurt your motor skills and make driving more dangerous" • https://www.webmd.com/menta1-health/addiction/marijuana-use-and-its-effects#1 Thus, we want to open a place that will bring addiction, destruction, accidents, death, more mental illness, education problems, pain to parents and family or we want people with auto control, positive, kind, focus, ambitious, productive, healthy. I implore the Director of Bylaw & Licensing Services to deny this permit. I am sure the city of Maple Ridge needs more businesses to open so we can help with the economy but not to the cost of the health of its residents. Aren't we already fighting drug .abuse, drunk drivers, homeless, crime of any kind just to mention a few and the latest the Covid-19 Virus?

1~••• City of Maple Ridge mapleridge.ca TO: MEETING DATE: FILE NO: FROM: His Worship, Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: July 7, 2020 09-4560-20 cow SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Amending Bylaw No. 7652-2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The proposed amendment to the Maple Ridge Highway and Traffic Bylaw No. 6704-2009 is required as a result of the City owned Maple Ridge Business Centre (MRBC) and Edge Street parking lots changing to a "pay by plate" model versus a "pay by stall" model in July of this year. In addition, housekeeping is required to correct numbering in some sections of the bylaw as well as updating the table of contents. This amendment will bring the bylaw in line with the new "pay by plate" model being introduced later this month, and will set the stage for future licence plate recognition software to assist with enforcement. RECOMMENDATION: That Highway and Traffic Amending Bylaw No. 7652-2020 be given first, second and third readings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Earlier this year the City's Property Manager brought forward a report to Council regarding rates and parking limits in the MRBC underground and Edge Street parking lots. Part of that report recommended the City change the pay station software from a "pay by stall" model to a "pay by plate model". Currently the section of the City's Highway and Traffic Bylaw that deals with users utilizing public parking lots operated by the City only refers to users failing to register their stall number, not failing to register their vehicle's licence plate number. In order for Bylaw staff to enforce the regulations in the City managed parking lots, the City's Highway and Traffic Bylaw needs to be amended to include the register by plate function. In addition, when the Highway and Traffic Bylaw was last updated, the re-numbering of some sub sections was overlooked, as well as an update to the table of contents. This Amending Bylaw will correct that. 1107 Page 1of2
CONCLUSIONS: The proposed Amending Bylaw to the existing Highway and Traffic Bylaw provides updated wording and numbering so staff can pursue compliance with the bylaw.

TO: FROM: SUBJECT: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE MEETING DATE: July 7, 2020 FILE NO: 11-5255-70-147 MEETING: CoW Award of Contract ITT-EN20-23: Dewdney Trunk Road Watermain Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation (216 Street to 222 Street) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval to award the Dewdney Trunk Road Watermain Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation (216 Street to 222 Street) construction contract to Sandpiper Contracting LLP in the amount of $3,295,831.50 excluding taxes. There are three components to this project: the watermain replacement, fibre optic duct installation in the abandoned watermain and sanitary sewer rehabilitation. The existing asbestos cement (AC) watermain along Dewdney Trunk Road (Dewdney) from 216 Street to 222 Street was installed in the 1970s and was identified for replacement as part of the City's Annual Watermain Replacement Program. The fibre optic network is being expanded on Dewdney by installing ducts in the abandoned watermains as part of this project. The existing sanitary main along Dewdney from 216 Street to 222 Street was installed in 1965. The three sections of existing sanitary main on Dewdney have shown significant deterioration at the pipe joints and have been identified for lining under the Sanitary Rehabilitation Program. Both the watermain replacement and sanitary rehabilitation are planned prior the paving of Dewdney under the 2021 Paving Program. The Dewdney Trunk Road Watermain Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project from 216 to 222 Street consists of the installation of approximately 1,380m of ductile iron watermain, varying in size from 150mm to 350mm in diameter, 980m of sanitary sewer re-lining, water and sanitary service reconnections, installation of new fire hydrants and pavement surface restoration. There is IT work included in the tender to utilize the abandoned watermain for fibre optic ducts, including the installation of junction boxes and pulling three 32mm ducts through the abandoned watermain. City crews will complete tie-ins of the new watermain and service connection tie-ins to the City water system. An Invitation to Tender was issued on May 5, 2020 and closed on June 5, 2020 with five bids received. The lowest compliant tender price was submitted by Sandpiper Contracting LLP at $3,295,831.50 excluding taxes. The watermain replacement is funded from the Water Capital Fund; with the tendered price, the tendered bid came over the allotted budget; therefore, additional funding is required to complete the project. The estimated project cost in the approved Capital Plan didn't include the tie-ins by Operations. Funding from the 2021 Watermain Replacement under LTC no. 01466 will be utilized in 2020 for the water tie-ins. Funding to install the fibre optic ducting is coming from the IT Fibre Optic Network project budget. The Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation fund is adequate to complete the Dewdney sanitary sewer rehabilitation scope. 1131 Doc#2484294 Page 1of 5 ~ ~: ' [.-_-, __ ,_-' -' ,-,--' -' ~ -,-' -[ 1-i" r t: 1-= 1-:-i~ c~ ' r f I t .

RECOMMENDATION: That Contract ITT-EN20-23: Dewdney Trunk Road Watermain Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation (216 Street to 222 Street) be awarded to Sandpiper Contracting LLP in the amount of $3,295,831.50 excluding taxes; and That a construction contingency of $164,790.00 be approved to address potential variations in field conditions; and That the next Financial Plan Bylaw be amended to increase the project funding by $488,621.00 from the Water Capital Fund; and That the next Financial Plan Bylaw be amended to transfer $200,000.00 from 2021 approved Capital Plan for Water Replacement Program to 2020 for the water tie-in by Operations; and further That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: There are three components in this project: the watermain replacement, fibre optic duct installation in the abandoned watermain and the sanitary sewer rehabilitation. Both the watermain replacement and sanitary rehabilitation are planned prior the paving of Dewdney under the 2021 Paving Program. The existing AC watermain along Dewdney from 216 Street to 222 Street was installed in the 1970s and has been identified for replacement as part of the City's Annual Watermain Replacement Program. The condition assessment report indicated some pipe wall loss or pipe deterioration in the watermain. There have been three recent water breaks on this section and doing the emergency repairs on an arterial road with commercial establishments is challenging. This replacement has been identified to minimize repairs and disruption on this critical transportation corridor. This section of roadway has been identified as a highly desirable fibre network segment. To expand the fibre optic network on Dewdney, three 32mm ducts will be installed in the abandoned watermain to connect to the existing fibre optic ducting west and east of this project. The recently completed watermain replacement project on 232 Street (122 to 124 Avenue) used the same approach of refurbishing abandoned watermains by pulling three ducts for future fibre optic cable installation. The sanitary sewer on Dewdney from 216 Street to 222 Street was installed in 1965. There are three sections of sanitary sewer on Dewdney that need to be re-lined. There have not been significant failures on these sanitary mains; however, the CCTV inspections have shown significant deterioration at the pipe joints. The sanitary main is in fairly good condition, making cast-in-place pipe (GIPP) re-lining a viable and less expensive option for rehabilitation. The Dewdney Trunk Road Watermain Replacement and Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project from 216 to 222 Street consists of the installation of approximately 1,380m of ductile iron watermain, 980m of sanitary sewer re-lining, water and sanitary service connection transfers, installation of new fire hydrants, installation of ducts for fibre optic cable, junction boxes and pavement surface restoration. Tender Evaluation An Invitation to Tender was issued on May 5, 2020 and closed on June 5, 2020 with five bids received, listed below from lowest to highest price. Doc#2484294 Page 2 of 5
Sandpiper Contracting LLP Drake Excavating (2016) Ltd. Pedre Contractors Ltd. Jack Cewe Construction Ltd. Hyland Excavating Ltd. Tender Price (excluding taxes) $3,295,831.50 $3,344,667.08 $3,387,700.00 $3,498,653.50 $4,047,401.00 The number and distribution of bids indicates that this is fair market value for the project. The lowest compliant bid was $3,295,831.50 (excluding taxes) from Sandpiper Contracting LLP. Staff have evaluated the bids and recommend the contract be awarded to Sandpiper Contracting LLP. The City has awarded the 232 Street watermain replacement project from Dewdney to 121 Avenue to Sandpiper Contracting LLP and the project was completed under the Contract value. b) Desired Outcome: To provide reliable fire protection and high quality drinking water to Maple Ridge residents. The sanitary rehabilitation will ensure reliability of service and will provide the missing link to the existing fibre ducts on Dewdney to the east and west of the project. c) Strategic Alignment: One of the key strategies in the Council Strategic Plan is to manage existing infrastructure. Replacement of the aging watermain and fire hydrants on Dewdney Trunk Road and upgrading sanitary sewer will ensure reliability of service and provide capacity for future years. Installation of ducts in the abandoned watermain will support the City's long-term plan to extend the fibre optic network and service throughout the city. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The estimated construction duration is approximately 24 weeks starting in August 2020. The 24 weeks includes testing, watermain tie-ins by Operations and restoration works. The watermain installation, sanitary rehabilitation and pulling of the ducts may take approximately 10 to 12 weeks. It is anticipated that traffic lanes through the work zone will be reduced during construction. It is stipulated in the Contract that two westbound travel lanes and one eastbound lane will be maintained during morning peak traffic periods from 0700 to 0900 and two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane will be maintained during afternoon peak traffic period from 1500 to 1900 during construction. All travel lanes must be open after working hours. Some of the fronting properties may be impacted during water and sanitary service connection tie-ins and residents will be notified in advance of the work. Every effort will be made to minimize the impact to residents and businesses on Dewdney Trunk Road. As well, the general public will be informed of the traffic alerts and construction progress through the City's website and social media sources. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Dewdney from 216 Street to 222 Street is scheduled for resurfacing under the 2021 capital paving program; therefore, both the watermain replacement and sanitary rehabilitation are a priority to be completed in 2020. The Engineering and Operations Department provided input during the design stage. The IT Department worked closely with Engineering to utilize the abandoned watermain as fibre optic Doc#2484294 Page 3 of 5
ducting for future use. Tie-ins to the live water system will be completed by the Operations Department. City staff will provide construction administration and inspection services during construction. f) Business Plan/Financial Implications: There are sufficient funds for the sanitary rehabilitation and fibre optic components under LTC nos. 7908 and 17093. Additional funding from Water Capital Fund (WCF) of $488,621 for the Dewdney watermain replacement is required. The funds for the Operations Watermain Replacement Program of $450,000 in the 2021 capital plan will be reduced to $250,000 to allocate $200,000 to the water tie-ins for this project. The projected expenditures excluding taxes are as follows: Watermain and Sanitary Design Water Tie-ins (Operations) Construction Contract (Sandpiper Contracting LLP) Contract Contingency Total Projected Project Cost The project funding sources are as follows: Dewdney Watermain Replacement (LTC No. 18020) Water Tie-ins (2021 Watermain Replacement LTC no. 02190) Sanitary Sewer Rehab and Replacement (LTC No. 7908) IT Department Fibre Optics (LTC No. 017093) Additional funding from WCF required Total Funding Sources $ 127,000 $ 281,600 $ 3,295,831 $ 164,790 $ 3,869,221 $ 2,100,000 $ 200,000 $ 924,400 $ 156,200 $ 488,621 $ 3,869,221 The project expenditures include a contract contingency of $164,790 that will only be utilized if required to address potential unforeseen variations in field conditions.

City of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: July 7, 2020 FlLENO: 2484885 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Committee of the Whole SUBJECT: Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Action Background Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On May 26, 2020, Council directed staff to bring back information on the City's community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reduction targets and actions. The background was requested to support a discussion on the targets and the City's progress toward achieving them. This report provides the background material. The discussion is timely, as there is a movement to encourage senior governments to align pandemic recovery economic stimulus funding toward climate action objectives. RECOMMENDATION: No resolution required -for information only. See "Alternatives" section for future consideration. DISCUSSION: This report has several sections: • Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change -introduction • Key terms used in this report • Greenhouse gas emissions -how are we doing? • Climate action milestones • Financial and Policy Implications • Public Input and Consultation • Alternatives and Interdepartmental Implications Numerous attachments provide further detail and are referenced throughout the report. a) Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change -introduction: Climate change is being felt both globally and closer to home. Locally, summers are getting hotter and drier, winters are warmer and wetter, and we are experiencing extreme weather events with increased frequency. These trends are expected to accelerate, threatening affordability, quality of life, health and safety, social equity, economic security and our natural environment. Metro Vancouver's Climate 2050 Strategic Framework projects the "new normal" for the region within the 2050 timeframe as follows: • Warmer temperatures: with increasing daytime and nighttime temperatures, there will be more hot summer days and fewer winter days with frost or ice. • Longer summer dry spells: summer rainfall will decline by nearly 20%, with increased likelihood of extended drought periods. • Wetter fall and winters: although on average the total annual rainfall is expected to increase by just 5%, there will be a large increase in rainfall during fall and winter. 1151 2484885 Page 1of 41 ' -' -I -,_ ,. ' ' -' ' ,-' ,_ ' ' ' ' ,. : I-~ r != L I I
• More extreme precipitation events: more rain will fall during the wettest days of the year and the frequency of extreme rainfall events will increase. • Decreased snowpack: the deep spring snowpack in the mountainous watersheds is expected to decrease by over 50% compared to present day. • Sea level rise: in addition to these weather-related changes predicted in our region, warming global temperatures are projected to bring at least 1 metre of sea level rise by 2100, which will impact coastal communities in our region. A significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is needed to mitigate this trend, while the City must also adapt our operations, community infrastructure and natural systems to cope with the changes that are here to stay. While much of this report focuses on data and community infrastructure, climate change is impacting human health and will continue to pose challenges in the future. The extent of these effects depends on the pace of climate change and on how well we adapt to the new environmental conditions and risks to health. Some of the potential climate-related impacts on health and well-being have been identified by Health Canada: 1. Temperature-related morbidity and mortality a. Illness related to extreme cold and heat events b. Respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses c. Increased occupational health risks 2. Weather-related natural hazards a. Damaged public health infrastructure b. Injuries and illnesses c. Social and mental stress d. Increased occupational health hazards e. Population displacement 3. Air quality a. Increased exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollutants and allergens b. Respiratory diseases c. Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular diseases d. Cancer 4. Water-and food-borne contamination a. Intestinal disorders and illnesses caused by chemical and biological contaminants 5. Health effects of exposure to ultraviolet rays a. Skin damage and skin cancer b. Cataracts c. Disturbed immune function 6. Vector-borne and zoonotic diseases a. Changed patterns of diseases caused by bacteria, viruses and other pathogens carried by mosquitoes, ticks, and animals. Reducing GHG emissions may reduce the severity of some of these health impacts, and may also lessen the release of toxic pollutants known to affect the health of people and ecosystems. All levels of government have been called to action, along with businesses, families and individuals: • The "Pan-Canadian Framework for Clean Growth and Climate Change" is the Government of Canada's plan to help meet federal emissions reduction targets, grow the economy, and build resilience to a changing climate. 2484885 Page 2 of 41
• • • Provincially, the "Clean BC" plan is working toward a low-carbon economy, and a future where buildings and new vehicles produce no emissions, where we use less energy and create less waste, and where industries are clean. Regionally, Metro Vancouver's "Climate 2050 Framework" (see Attachment A) aims to achieve a carbon neutral region by 2050. An interim target of 45% reduction in GHG emissions from 2010 levels by 2030 is established, and "Roadmaps" are being developed to establish the pathways to these reductions. City staff are involved in these discussions to help identify effective actions to reduce emissions in each sector. Local governments are uniquely positioned to adapt land use planning, capital asset management and service models to become resilient to changing climate conditions as well as contributing to mitigation efforts. In this regard, the City of Maple Ridge can play a vital role in creating a cleaner and more sustainable future. Climate action efforts can enhance livability and support public health, well-being, the environmental and fiscal sustainability of community and the citizens of Maple Ridge. Collaboration with community stakeholders will be important as the City works to reduce GHG emissions while supporting economic recovery. b) Key terms used in this report Before getting into the analysis and further discussion, this section gives a brief description of some key terms used throughout this report. Greenhouse Gases The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), along with water vapor (H20). Some occur naturally and are needed to keep the planet warm enough to be habitable, some occur due to modern human activities, and some fall under both categories. It has been recognized since the 1960s that greenhouse gases are increasing faster than they are being removed from the atmosphere. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) produced a report1 that was formally approved by the world's governments in 2018. Backed by 30 years of scientific study, it concluded that emissions of greenhouse gases due to human activities, the root cause of global warming, continue to increase, year after year. GHG Emission Reduction Targets Recognizing the need to reduce em1ss1ons caused by human activity, many individuals, companies and governments have set reduction targets. Some are aspirational, a "top-down" approach based on an overarching goal. Others identify strategies and quantify the reduction potential, developing "bottom-up" reduction targets. A hybrid example is where strategies are quantified, and a gap that falls short of a top-down aspiration illustrates the need for additional strategies and actions that have yet to be identified and/or quantified. In 2010, Council adopted the provincial target of 33% reduction in ·greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 from 2007 levels, and 80% by 2050. The IPCC's report, formally approved by the world's governments, states that in order to avoid a temperature rise of more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, worldwide emissions must be reduced by 45 percent by 2030 compared with 2010 levels, and that net emissions be reduced to zero by 2050. Council recently endorsed Metro 1 https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ 2484885 Page 3 of 41
Vancouver's proposed targets that align with IPCC calculations. Citizen feedback suggests that Council also consider updating the City's targets. Carbon Dioxide Equivalent. or C02e C02e, or carbon dioxide equivalent, is a standard unit for measuring total carbon footprint or total combined greenhouse gases. Each type of greenhouse gas has the potential to warm the atmosphere by a certain amount. This "global warming potential" results in a factor, representing how many times greater that GHG's warming potential is, in relation to carbon dioxide (factor of 1). For example, methane is valued at 25, meaning one tonne of methane will cause the same amount of atmospheric warming as 25 tonnes of carbon dioxide over 100 years. An entity's greenhouse gas emissions are usually expressed in tonnes of C02e (tC02e). See Attachment B for further detail on the global warming potential of greenhouse gases. Greenhouse Gas Inventories The City of Maple Ridge, like other local governments, has two sets of greenhouse gas inventories. 1. Corporate GHG inventory -this includes GHG emissions from the City's assets and activities. Fossil fuels consumed by the City's fleet vehicles, equipment and buildings and by contractors to perform activities such as paving the City's roads make up the bulk of the corporate GHG inventory. Solid waste from city operations also adds to the total inventory. 2. CommunityGHG inventory-this includes the GHG emissions from: all homes, businesses and industries within City boundaries; all on-road transportation (cars, trucks, commercial vehicles) attributed to the City; solid waste generated by residents and businesses, and land-use change from deforestation. These greenhouse gas emissions inventories are both expressed in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tC02e). c) Greenhouse gas emissions -how are we doing? Corporate Greenhouse Gas Performance (see Attachment C) The first corporate greenhouse gas emissions inventory was calculated for 2007, and it has been reported annually since that time. Applying the Official Community Plan target of 33% reduction by 2020 in a linear fashion, the target is 1,608 tC02e for 2019. The net GHG emissions for 2019 were 1,465 tC02e, outdoing the target by 143 tonnes. A portion of this progress results from "credits" that the City is apportioned for its role as a member municipality of Metro Vancouver. For the years 2013 through 2015, the credits related to methane capture at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta. In 2019 the credits were due to the diversion of 3,842 tonnes of organic materials from the waste stream. In 2015 the amount of GHG emissions avoided by the methane capture project exceeded the GHG emissions from City services, and the City was formally recognized by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) as being "carbon neutral," meaning the net tC02e was zero or less than zero. The change from 2007 to 2019 in gross tC02e (ignoring credits), is a reduction of about 5%. The leisure centre is the City's highest single carbon-emitting asset, due to the pools and atrium space and the use of natural gas as the energy source for these elements. An energy retrofit about ten years ago cut emissions in half, contributing to the 5% reduction. An innovative change in the way IT services are provided also contributed to the savings. The City received a 2010 Energy & Climate Action Award for these projects. 2484885 Page 4 of 41
The greenhouse gas emissions from City operations and assets is a subset of the overall community greenhouse gas emissions, contributing about 1% of the GHG emissions generated by Maple Ridge homes, business, vehicles and waste. Community Greenhouse Gas Performance (see Attachment D) The community generates greenhouse gases primarily from the following activities: • Driving vehicles that run on gasoline, diesel and other fossil fuels; • Using heating and cooling systems in homes and buildings for air and water; • Discarding waste in the trash (solid waste disposal) Vehicles: The calculation of a community GHG inventory is complex. For example, the fuel efficiency of personal transportation vehicles can range from minimal (electric vehicles) to heavy, diesel or gas powered trucks. Citizens in Maple Ridge have the freedom of choice to purchase any car regardless of fuel efficiency, and they can choose whether to drive it short distances infrequently, or they may commute long distances every day. There is no data collection on this behaviour, nor is there accessible data for commercial vehicles. Therefore, vehicle emissions present a challenge. For the years 2007, 2010 and 2012 the BC Government provided these figures to municipalities based on a set of assumptions, using vehicle registration information, fuel efficiency numbers and driving distance assumptions. The City does not have access to this data for subsequent years. A proxy could be a calculation using regional fuel sales data, although not all local vehicle owners purchase their fuel within City boundaries. Metro Vancouver is working toward a regional calculation. At this time, staff determined that a calculation specific to Maple Ridge would be inaccurate and therefore of low value, relative to providing Council with a timely background report on the general topic of climate action and greenhouse gas emissions. This report does include a scorecard from the City's performance reporting section on the website illustrating titled "Community Charging Station Usage and Emission Savings" (see Attachment E). One might conclude that the number of electric vehicles in Maple Ridge is growing due to the usage of the City's community EV charging stations. The growth in number of electric vehicles, where they have replaced vehicles using fossil fuels, would indicate a positive trend in lowering greenhouse gas emissions. An accurate dataset would be required to ascertain the impact of community growth on emissions from the vehicle category. For the past six years now, the makeup of the City's own transportation fleet has been of entirely hybrid and electric vehicles, and they are assigned to uses based on efficiency of fuel type. Buildings (see Attachment F): Attachment F, Table 1 shows Greenhouse Gas Emissions (tC02e) from utility connections (Fortis BC and BC Hydro). This subset of emissions is commonly referred to as "Buildings" since most of these connections are related to physical structures. The energy used in buildings is primarily for heating and cooling systems. The table shows that by far, natural gas is the most significant source of greenhouse gas emissions produced by Maple Ridge, followed by electricity. This section provides performance figures for these two emission sources. Natural gas is broken into two user categories: residential and commercial/small industrial. About two-thirds of natural gas used in Maple Ridge flows to residential gas connections. 2484885 Page 5 of 41
Natural gas has a factor which can be applied to the gigajoules used in order to determine its carbon dioxide equivalent. Emissions for residential connections grew by 8% over the period of 2007-2017; for commercial connections, emissions went down by 10% over this same period. Buildings as a whole in 2017 contributed almost 148,000 tC02e representing an increase of 1% from the 2007 level. Electricity is delivered to Maple Ridge homes and businesses by BC Hydro. This data is also available in aggregate form. Electricity supplied by BC Hydro produces much less greenhouse gas emissions than natural gas, as much of it comes from hydro power. Still, BC Hydro must supplement hydro power at certain times with other sources. For this reason, BC Hydro's emissions factor to determine carbon dioxide equivalent changes from year to year, depending on the relative sources of power used by BC Hydro. Although consumption of electricity has gone up over the past ten years by 11%, greenhouse gas emissions have gone down by over 50%. This is because BC Hydro's clean power has become even cleaner than ten years ago. About 60% of electricity used in Maple Ridge goes to residential connections, and over the past ten years, emissions for both residential and commercial users have gone down by about the same percentage. Buildings contributed just over 6,200 tC02e in 2017. Between the two sources of greenhouse gas emissions from Maple Ridge buildings, 96% of 2017 tC02e comes from the use of natural gas for space and hot water heating. Strategies to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions should include a focus on reducing natural gas consumption. Attachment F, Graph 1 shows that residential use of both energy sources on a per-capita basis have been moving in the right direction over the past decade. Page 2 of Attachment F shows the summary of data available at this time, which captures 2007 through 2017, excluding 2008, 2009 and 2011. Attachment G show comparisons between Maple Ridge and communities in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The first page shows the change in emissions from natural gas consumption in total and per capital. The second page shows these figures but for residential connections only, to eliminate anomalies that may be present on the first page due to major changes in industrial uses, e.g. a new or shut-down major industrial user. Solid Waste: The City of Maple Ridge provides the community with curbside pickup of recycled materials, and operates a local recycling depot where residents can drop off a broad array of recyclable materials. This means less solid waste going to landfills. Maple Ridge residents and businesses choose their waste disposal companies, and a ban on organic material in the solid waste disposal stream in Metro Vancouver means most of those companies provide an organics pickup in tandem with their solid waste service. This multiple service provider model creates some complexity in calculating the greenhouse gas emissions created as a result of landfilled materials. However, since solid waste generated only 3% of community emissions in 2012 (the last year the Province provided community emissions data), the analysis of this relatively small source of emissions has been deferred in the interest of providing Council with a timelier background report. A proxy measure is included as Attachment H, showing kilograms of waste diverted from the landfill. The target was amended in 2014 to acknowledge changes to the recycling industry with the Extended Stewardship Program for the packaging industry, which has resulted in lighter packaging and therefore decreased tonnage discarded and therefore diverted. 2484885 Page 6 of 41
However, indications are that although the weight of diverted materials is lower due to changes in packaging materials, volumes continue to increase, relieving landfills of this material and reducing related greenhouse gas emissions. Land Use: In 2012, the community energy and emissions inventory data provided by the Province (shown on Attachment D), included an additional category to represent land use. This captures the impact of deforestation. While no additional data has been provided since that time, the City does track the area of land legally protected each year through dedication or covenant for environmental reasons. See Attachment I. d) Climate action milestones Following is a list of some climate action milestones events over the past ten years. 2007 Council adopted a Corporate Strategic Plan with an overt emphasis on sustainability and endorsed the concept of a carbon neutral goal. Council also approved the establishment of a sustainability office of 1 full-time equivalent staff (FTE) reporting to the Chief Administrative Officer to assist in the development of a sustainability plan and its implementation. The City received an award from the Province for its Community Ecosystem Restoration Initiative, a tree planting and carbon sequestration program. A Sustainability Action Plan2 was developed in 2007 and adopted by Council in 2008. Development of the plan was co-facilitated by a leading Vancouver-based consulting firm with a lengthy history in sustainability work. The plan was developed with over 50 staff from all levels of the organization along with Council members over several full-day working sessions, and identified numerous actions aligning with Council's strategic focus areas. The status of these commitments is reported in Attachment J. 2008 Council signed on to the Province's BC Climate Action Charter. The Charter is a voluntary agreement between the BC Government, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) and individual local government signatories. It was launched at the 2007 UBCM convention. Under the Charter, signatories commit to: • Becoming carbon neutral in their corporate operations; • Measuring and reporting their community's greenhouse gas emissions; and • Creating complete, compact, more energy efficient communities. The City Joined the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' (FCM's) Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) and began working through the framework of 5 milestones for both corporate and community infrastructure. They are: Milestone 1: Create a GHG emissions inventory and forecast Milestone 2: Set an emissions reduction target Milestone 3: Develop a local action plan Milestone 4: Implement the Local Action Plan Milestone 5: Monitor progress and reporting results 2 See https://www.mapleridge.ca/DocumentCenter/View/ 424 2484885 Page 7 of 41 ~, r. I [:
The City has achieved Milestone 4 for corporate GHG em1ss1ons and Milestone 2 for community GHG emissions. Requirements for Milestone 5 for corporate operations have been met internally. 2010 Targets and public consultation -In February 2010, Council considered four community GHG reduction targets. One of the modelled scenarios was calculated using the targets established by the BC Government for the province, but applied on a per capita basis. This was initially favoured by the majority of Council, as it recognized the City's growth projections. A public open house was broadly advertised, including emails to members of all Council committees and to a wide range of stakeholders that included the Business Improvement Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the School Board (senior staff and Trustees), stewardship groups, local MLA, community groups, and Katzie First Nation. Public feedback favoured a more aggressive target, so in April 2010 Council approved the provincial targets on an aggregate basis (not per capita3) and these were incorporated into the Official Community Plan along with supporting policies. The City achieved partner status in BC Hydro's Energy Manager Program. This provided a source of funding to deliver energy efficiencies within the City's infrastructure and programs. The City was able to successfully renew the agreement for six years. The City was awarded the 2010 Energy and Climate Action Award for two projects: a deep energy retrofit and the City's first use of solar heating technology at the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, and an innovative evolution in computing technology by IT staff. 2011 Council endorsed the Global Cities Covenant on Climate ("The Mexico City Pact"), an international mayors' initiative. In becoming a signatory, the City committed to submit documentation on its climate mitigation and adaptation actions in the carbonn [sic] Cities Climate Registry along with regular reporting on greenhouse gas emissions, The City reported for a number of years, until it became a duplication of reporting requirements under BC's Carbon Action Revenue Incentive Program. 2020 Council endorsed Metro Vancouver's proposed 2040 regional growth strategy update for greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets of 45% reduction from 2010 levels by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2050. Along with these Council milestones, many actions have been taken by the City to both mitigate climate change through reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and adapt to the realities of climate change. As mentioned previously, Attachment J reports on action items from the 2007 /2008 Sustainability Action Plan. Attachment K highlights many more actions that have been taken since that time. e) Financial implications All indications suggest that pandemic-related economic stimulus funds from senior government will be directed to shovel-ready projects that align with climate action objectives. This is a potential source of funding, in addition to the typical grant programs the City would tap into. These funds tend to dry up for communities following rather than leading the pack. At present, Maple Ridge is one of the most populous communities without a climate action or energy and emissions plan. 3 16% emissions reduction below 2007 levels by 2020 and 25% emissions reduction by 2031. Measured on a per capita basis these targets would aim to reduce per capita emissions from 5.3 tonnes of C02e (measured in 2007) to 3.5 tonnes of C02e per person by 2020 (a 34% reduction) and 2.6 tonnes of C02e by 2031 (a 50% reduction). 2484885 Page 8 of 41
In 2008 the City established a carry-forward reserve to fund projects that would help achieve greenhouse gas reduction targets. When the Provincial carbon tax was levied and municipalities became eligible to be "cost-neutral" by receiving a rebate of carbon tax expenses contingent upon filing an annual report of carbon reduction initiatives, Council approved the reserve of this rebate as an inflow to this carry-forward reserve. The balance currently stands at about $440,000, with an inflow of about $60,000 per year. These funds could be utilized to leverage grant funding to support the development of a comprehensive plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and plan for climate change. f) Policy implications On January 14, 2020, Council approved a resolution "that the Type 3 minor amendment to Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping our Future, reflecting a carbon neutral region by 2050, and an interim target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, be endorsed and the resolution forwarded to Metro Vancouver." Metro Vancouver's target was established to align with the October 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report to limit global warming to 1.5 ° C above pre-industrial levels. At the same time, Council passed a resolution formally requesting that the Province produce community-level GHG emission data at least every second year, so that the City can monitor progress toward reduction targets currently in the Official Community Plan. The last complete dataset was produced for the 2012 year. The City's current targets are 33% reduction by 2020 from 2007 levels, and 80% by 2050. Metro Vancouver requested endorsement of the new targets as part of an update to Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping our Future, the current regional growth strategy. It is expected that Metro Vancouver 2050, an updated regional growth strategy, will be developed for mid-2022. As a requirement, member municipalities will have to update Regional Context Statements, and the City expects to begin this work in 2021. Ideally, an energy and emissions, or climate action plan would be developed before this work begins, to better understand the potential of, and implications for the community. This work was previously approved and entrenched in the Official Community Plan, Policy 5-44: The District of Maple Ridge will explore undertaking a Community Energy and Emissions Plan that will help the municipality identify indicators to help track community energy emissions and to a/so provide recommendations on opportunities for reducing community emissions and achieving reduction targets. Action taken since that time has been the development of some indicators, and numerous initiatives noted in Attachment K: Listing of Climate Actions -2011 through 2019. g) Public input and consultation Citizens continue to express interest in municipal commitments and actions toward climate change goals and a low-carbon economy. Several individuals and groups have requested that Council declare a climate emergency, and others have requested that Council update greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and/or develop a climate action plan. Youth in particular are eager to have a voice in the world they will inherit from today's policy-makers. The Environmental Advisory Committee is focusing on policy work relating to natural assets in the community. This involves work relating to tree canopy coverage and carbon sequestration, among other issues. Council may wish to consider striking an advisory task force to provide input and advice in the development of a plan to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions and 2484885 Page 9 of 41
adapt to the new normal. Attachment Lis provided as a sample terms of reference from another community that could be adjusted to reflect the work needed to advance climate action planning in conjunction with the work of the Environmental Advisory Committee. h) Alternatives As this report is intended as a discussion paper to garner Council feedback, no recommendation has been put forward at this time. Council may want to consider the following: • That staff be directed to develop a plan, including updated GHG emission reduction targets and proposed actions to achieve them, and to prepare draft terms of reference for an Advisory Task Force to assist with this work. Alternatively, Council may wish to re-endorse the existing GHG emission reduction targets in the Official Community Plan, and focus on an action plan. Or Council may wish to defer the discussion about targets so that they can be addressed as part of the Regional Context Statement work that will begin in 2021. Or, in alignment with the resolution Council passed in January 2020 endorsing Metro Vancouver's adjusted targets, Council may wish to adopt the same targets. Further, Council may wish to revisit the policies in the Official Community Plan in relation to the targets. The City is fortunate to have passionate and informed citizens with a variety of backgrounds and perspectives on climate change and related topics. Council may wish to tap into this resource in the development of a pathway toward a low-carbon future. Attachment M includes some examples of actions that Council may wish to undertake to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions. Collaboration with community stakeholders has the potential to generate ideas that may serve multiple objectives, beyond that of simple greenhouse gas reductions, such as economic growth. i) Interdepartmental implications In considering the various sources of emissions in the community and identifying actions that would help reduce them, most departments would be involved in some way. And in fact, this work is ongoing within departments, as work being undertaken now is viewed with a climate change lens alongside traditional approaches. For example, new developments consider green infrastructure such as bioswales as a matter of course, along with traditional stormwater management systems. While participating in the development of a climate resiliency plan may require staff time, departments would receive the benefits of collaboration with cross-functional staff and external parties that can be applied to existing workplan items, though this may require shifting project timelines. Collaboration tends to take more time, but end results can often be better and produce ancillary benefits. 2484885 Page 10 of 41
CONCLUSION: Climate change is impacting Maple Ridge citizens and businesses, along with City operations and infrastructure. Council has adopted greenhouse gas emission targets, has developed numerous policies and has undertaken many actions to address climate change. This report provides an overview along with some suggestions that Council may wish to consider to advance the community toward a low-carbon future. ij Prepared by: Laura Benson, CMA, CPA Senior Policy and Sustainability Analyst Approved by: Christina Crabtree Acting General Manager: Corporate Services Concurrence: Al H~~n ~ Chief Administrative Officer **Attachments: (A) Metro Vancouver Climate 2050 Strategic Framework Graphics (B) Global Warming Potential of Greenhouse Gases (C) Corporate Greenhouse Gas Emissions Scorecard (D) Community Charging Station Usage and Emission Savings (E) Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions Scorecard (F) Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions -Buildings Detail (G) Community Greenhouse Gas Emissions -Comparisons With Other Municipalities (H) Kilograms of Waste Diverted from the Landfill (I) Hectares of Environmentally Sensitive Lands Protected (J) 2007 /2008 Sustainability Action Plan -Progress Update (K) Listing of Climate Actions -2011 through 2019 (L) Sample Advisory Task Force Terms of Reference (M) Examples of actions to reduce community GHG emissions ** Note that most of the text appearing to be hyper/inks on the attachments will not be active, as they are snapshots of documents -not "live" versions of them.

ATTACHMENT B Attachment B: Global Warming Potentials of GHGs4 Greenhouse gas emissions that are influenced by human activities and that are of primary concern for GHG abatement policy and activities are listed in Table 1. The concept of global warming potential (GWP) has been developed to enable comparison of the ability of different G HGs to trap heat in the atmosphere (radiative forcing). The GWP of a GHG accounts for both the immediate radiative forcing due to an increase in the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere, and the lifetime of the gas. GWP values are not static and underwent a major change in the IPCC 4'11 Assessment Report (AR). These changes were adopted by B.C. beginning with the 2013 Provincial Inventory. Table 1 lists the "100-Year GWP" for the major gases and groups of gases (G\W values for other GHGs are listed under Table 1-16 in Part 1 of the NIR).

ATTACHMENT E EN01 Additlonal Information The data for this scorecard was provided by the BC Ministry of Environment. Community Energy & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Report(CEEI) for Maple Ridge. released in December 2016. The CEEJ fr@m Ute Minis.11)' of Environment collects data from utilities. public agencies and other trusted partners. to ca!cula e the size of each sector's carbon footprin in each tocat government jurisdiction across BC. The CEEI represents energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from community activities in on.road transportation, buildings. and solid vas e. 2012. CEEI data included a new category: land' use change from deforestation. Emissions as a result of land use changes are reported seperatet on this scorecard ln order to show consistency with previous reporting years. The agrtculrute sub.sector is reported as a memo item in lhe CEfJ. meaning it ls no induded il"I t.he Maple Ridge's official GHG emissions footprin . I is inclll<fed in this scorecard to show all available data. The 2017 scorecard update includes Per capita Emissions as a new metric. Maple Ridge is a rapid~, growing community and an increase in tot.al emissions is expected as a result of his growth. 'Reporting emissions on a per capita IYasis is a metJ1od of showing emfssiorts reduction while factoring in population growth. Please rm e tha the numbers for 2010 and 2007 are different than those previously reported due to changes in tile methodology for calculating GHG emissions. The P,ovince has advised that CEEI is in a state or-continuous improvemenr. This means that new data and methooolowes are used vhen they become available. A number of new methodologies were used in 2012. These then have to be applied o the 2007 and 2010 reports for consis ency and comparability.
