Patrick Hlavac-Winsor Corporate Officer [.~···· TO: FROM: mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Dan Ruimy and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer MEETING DATE: May 02, 2023 FILE NO: 2023-123-RZ MEETING: CoW SUBJECT: Secondary Suites and Detached Garden Suites on the Same Lot in the ALR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Since January 2022, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) has permitted secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot without an application to the ALC. The Province of BC removed the need for an application to the ALC to increase residential flexibility. However, Maple Ridge's Zoning Bylaw does not currently permit a secondary suite and detached garden suite on the same lot anywhere in the City. At the April 26, 2022, Council Workshop meeting, Council was presented with accessory dwelling unit regulatory options that would positively impact current and future residents by creating additional secondary suite and detached garden suite units in the community. At this meeting, Council directed staff to proceed with ten of the eleven recommendations, including bringing forward a zone amending bylaw to permit secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). The purpose of this report is to outline the proposed housekeeping changes to the City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw in order to align with the ALC's regulations. Should Council move forward with the recommendation to permit secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot in the ALR, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7929-2023 (Appendix B) will proceed through the bylaw adoption process. Secondary suites and detached garden suites are not only an important component of the community's rental market, but these forms also assist in homeownership affordability as mortgage helpers. Additionally, housing flexibility within the ALR benefits farming practices. Farmers in the region are aging and allowing more flexible housing encourages succession planning of farms and transfer of knowledge. To maintain a vibrant and thriving City, Maple Ridge needs to attract and retain working households and enable them to grow and age in place. RECOMMENDATION: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7929-2023 be given first and second reading and forwarded to public hearing to permit secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot in the Agricultural Land Reserve. 1.0 BACKGROUND: a) Recent Work At the April 26, 2022, Council Workshop, Council received a market update on housing in Maple Ridge and an update on Provincial regulatory changes aimed at encouraging more accessory dwelling units throughout the province. At this meeting, eleven regulatory options that were explored during the 3371989 Page 1 of 6 public consultation and review of accessory dwelling unit regulations was presented to Council. At the April 26, 2022, Council Workshop, Council directed staff to bring forward a report with detailed information and a description of the amendments for ten of the eleven recommendations. This included bringing forward a zone amending bylaw to permit secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). b) Official Community Plan Policy Alignment Maple Ridge's Official Community Plan (OCP) reflects the community's long-term vision to become more vibrant and prosperous, offering residents a strong local economy, stable and special neighbourhoods, thoughtful development, a diversity of agriculture, and respect for the built and natural environment. Through the OCP housing policies, the need to provide a mix of housing types densities, and affordable options is recognized. In order to meet the diverse residential needs of local residents, the OCP housing policies are intended to help: • Accommodate growth through infill by promoting housing types and tenures to support diverse needs, lifestyles, and preferences (Policy 3-1), by considering disparities in age, income, and mobility; • Support the provision of rental accommodation and encourage the construction of rental units that vary in size and number of bedrooms (Policy 3-31); and • Encourage housing that incorporates "age-in-place" concepts and seniors housing designed to accommodate special needs (Policy 3-33). The OCP also contains agricultural policies that support maintaining the City's agricultural base and farming activity. The OCP also contains policies that support the ALC's policies and regulations, such as: Policy 6 -9 Maple Ridge supports the policies and regulations of the Agricultural Land Commission Act and the Farm Practices Protection Act in its land uses and will review its bylaws affecting farmland and farm operations for consistency with these provincial acts, regulations, and guidelines. c) Housing Action Plan Alignment Council endorsed the Housing Action Plan on September 30, 2014, and the Housing Action Plan Implementation Framework on September 14, 2015. The development and endorsement of the Housing Action Plan provides the opportunity to implement the strategies and actions to enhance the Official Community Plan policy direction for affordable, rental, and special needs housing. The Implementation Framework contains actions that are based on the Housing Action Plan's strategies. The endorsed strategies of the Housing Action Plan are summarized below: • Create new rental housing opportunities; • Continue to monitor secondary suites policies & bylaws; and • Expand the garden suites program. d) Housing Needs Report On February 9, 2021, Council received a Housing Needs Report. This report provided an understanding of current and anticipated housing needs within Maple Ridge. The Housing Needs Report found that there is a growing disconnect between what is available and what is affordable to Maple Ridge residents and showed that the price of a single-detached home in Maple Ridge is becoming increasingly out-of-reach for dual-income households. Additionally, with limited rental units available 3371989 Page 2 of 6 locally, and throughout the Metro Vancouver region, rental unit rates are increasing and also becoming a less affordable housing option. The findings of the Housing Needs Report reaffirmed the objectives and policy direction of the Official Community Plan, such as Policy 3-31 that encourages the construction of rental units or varying size and bedrooms, as well as the strategies and goals within the City's Housing Action Plan to create new rental housing opportunities and expand the secondary suite and detached garden suite programs. e) Agricultural Plan On December 15, 2009, Council endorsed the Agricultural Plan. The Agricultural Plan outlines recommendations to protect and enhance agriculture in Maple Ridge. The Agricultural Plan identifies that farm operators are aging rapidly. According to Statistics Canada, the average age of Canada's farm operators are 56 years old, as of the 2021 census. The Agricultural Plan encourages succession planning of family farms and for the transfer of knowledge. 2.0 DISCUSSION: There are approximately 1,440 properties within the ALR that would be eligible for having a secondary suite and detached garden suite on the same lot. Approximately 1,200 of the eligible properties are currently zoned RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential), which has a minimum lot size of 0.8 hectares (1.97 Acres). Permitting secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot in the ALR would align with the ALC regulations. 2.1 ALR and Detached Garden Suite Regulations Since January 2022, the ALC has been permitting the following, without requiring an application to the ALC: • a secondary suite and detached garden suite on the same lot; o a detached garden suite, up to 90m2 (968ft2) if the total floor area of the principal residence is 500m2 (5,382ft2) or less and on a parcel less than 40 ha (99 acres) (which currently aligns with Maple Ridge's maximum size for a DGS); and o a detached garden suite, up to 186m2 (2,002ft2), if the total floor area of the principal residence is 500m2 (5,382ft2) or less and the parcel is 40 ha (99 acres) or more (only six properties in Maple Ridge are greater than 40ha). The City does not currently permit a principal dwelling size to exceed 500m2 (5,382ft2) within the ALR, regardless of parcel size. Additionally, the City does not permit detached garden suites larger than 90m2 regardless of the property size. For properties within the ALR there are additional sitting requirements. Detached garden suites must be located within the Farm Home Plate, which is an area on the property that allocates where residential buildings and structures are permitted in order to restrict the impact of residential development on agricultural land. The aim of the Farm Home Plate regulations is to maintain the land base for agricultural purposes. Appendix A of this report further outlines the regulations for secondary suites and detached garden suites in Maple Ridge. 3371989 Page 3 of 6 CONCLUSION: Since January 2022, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) permits secondary suites and detached garden suites on the same lot without an application to the ALC. The Province of BC removed the application requirement in order to increase residential flexibility in the ALR. To align with the ALC's regulations, this report recommends Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7929-2023 be given first and second reading and forwarded to public hearing. This recommendation also aligns with Council's direction given at the April 26, 2022, Council Workshop meeting. By permitting housing flexibility within the ALR it would benefit farming practices in the City. Farmers in the region are aging and allowing more flexible housing encourages succession planning of farms and transfer of knowledge. To maintain a vibrant and thriving City, Maple Ridge needs to be able to attract and retain working households and enable them to grow and age in place. Secondary suites and detached garden suites are not only an important component of the community's rental market, but these forms also assist in homeownership affordability as mortgage helpers.

Project Description: The subject property is bound by 124 Avenue to the south, 216 Street to the west and single-family residential to the east and north (Appendix A & 8). The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential), in order to subdivide into two single-family residential lots approximately 557.om2 (5,995.5ft2) and 545.om2 (5,866.3ft2) in area (Appendix D). 3. Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The development site is located at 12414 216 Street and is designated Urban Residential in the Official Community Plan (OCP). Both 216 Street and 124 Avenue are designated as Major Corridor under the OCP. The Major Corridor Residential Infill policies support smaller single-family lots as well as multi-family developments. These policies ensure that the development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood. Policy 3-22 stipulates that particular attention to compatibility with site design, massing, setbacks and lot configuration of the established neighbourhoods is required. The current proposal is reflective of the adjacent single-family neighbourhood while providing infill densification. Additionally, there is a similar development application (2021-571-RZ) to rezone the property to the south from RS-1 to R-1 for the future subdivision of two, comparably sized lots. Both of these development proposals are characterized as larger lots being subdivided into smaller lots to accommodate new single-family dwellings under the R-1 zone. The application to rezone the property to the R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) zone is compliant with the OCP Infill Policies and is supportable. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) to permit future subdivision into two lots (see Appendix D). The minimum lot size for the proposed zone is 371.om2 (3,993.4ft2). The proposed subdivision would create two single-family lots approximately 557 .Om2 (5,995.5ft2) and 545.om2 (5,866.3ft2) in area. Both proposed lots exceed the required minimum lot area, the minimum lot width of 13.5m (44.3ft.) for a lot on a street corner and 12.0m (39.4ft) for a regular lot, as well as the lot depth of 24.0m (78.7ft) within the R-1 zone. The proposed lot width of Lot 1 is approximately 16.4 m (53.8 ft) and the lot depth is approximately 32.4m (106.3ft). The proposed lot width of Lot 2 is approximately 16.8m (55.2ft) and the lot depth is approximately 32.4m (106.3ft). The current height provision of the RS-1 zone is 8.0m, measured at the mid-point of the roof structure. The proposed R-1 zone permits a higher building height of 9.5m at the mid-point of the roof or said another way, a three storey structure. Should Council have a concern with this, a restrictive covenant could be required to limit the building height to 8.0m as per the RS-1 zone. iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: Each proposed dwelling unit will require a minimum of two off-street parking spaces. A minimum of one off-street parking space per dwelling unit shall be provided with roughed-in infrastructure capable of providing Level 2 charging. Visitor parking is not required for single-family dwellings. Bike parking will be accommodated within the garage of the single-family dwelling. 2021-092-RZ Page 3 of 5 i) Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is not required; therefore, the application was not required to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. ii) Development Information Meeting: The proposed development is creating two single-family residential lots, and therefore a Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. iii) Parkland Requirement: As there are less than three lots being created, the application will not be subject to the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to subdivision approval. 4. Environmental Implications: An arborist report has been submitted by the applicant and reviewed. A total of ten trees have been identified on the subject site. Of these, all trees have been identified for removal including a significant Red Maple. Due to the location of the significant Red Maple, the applicant has proposed to remove it as it conflicts with the building footprint of the proposed single-family residence. There will be a Cash-In-Lieu amount of $3,600 for the loss of this Significant Tree, plus five replacement trees or a cash-in-lieu amount will be required. Interdepartmental Implications: i) ii) Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has indicated that the following servicing upgrades will be required through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement: • Road dedication as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Utility servicing as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Frontage upgrades to the applicable road standard. Parks, Recreation and Culture Department: No concerns, the Trans-Canada Trail follows 124 Avenue along the current sidewalk. Additionally, the existing bike lanes will continue to follow along 216 Street. iii) Fire Department: No concerns. 2021-092-RZ Page 4 of 5 5. School District No. 42 Comments: A referral was sent to School District No. 42 and they provided a response on April 21, 2023, which is attached to this report as Appendix E.

Project Description: The subject property is bound by 124 Avenue to the north, 216 Street to the west and single-family residential to the east and south (Appendix A & B). The property contains seven trees and it is bound by hedges along both fronting streets. The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential), in order to subdivide into two single-family residential lots approximately 470.3 m2 (5,062.3 ft2) and 378.6 m2 (4,075.2 ft2) in area (Appendix D). 3. Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The subject property is located at 12390 216 Street and is designated Urban Residential in the Official Community Plan. Both 216 Street and 124 Avenue are designated as Major Corridor under the OCP. The Major Corridor Residential Infill policies support multi-family developments and smaller single- family lots. These policies also provide criteria for compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design, massing, setbacks and lot configuration with the existing development pattern in the area. The current proposal is reflective of the surrounding single-family neighbourhood while providing infill densification that fits with the surrounding character. In addition, there is a similar development application (2021-092-RZ) to the north that proposes to rezone the property from RS-1 to R-1 in order to subdivide into two, comparably sized lots (Appendix A). Both of these development proposals are characterized as larger lots being subdivided into smaller lots to accommodate new single-family dwellings under the R-1 zoning. The application to rezone the property to the R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) zone is compliant with the OCP Infill Policies and is supportable. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) to permit future subdivision into two lots (see Appendix D). The minimum lot size for the proposed zone is 371.0m2 (3,993.4ft2). The proposed subdivision would create two single-family lots approximately 470.3m2 (5,062.3ft2) and 378.6 m2 (4,075.2ft2) in area. Both lots exceed the required minimum lot width of 13.5 m (42.7 ft.) for a lot on a street corner and 12m (39.4ft) for a regular lot. The proposed lots have a lot width of approximately 21.1 m (69.1 ft) for Lot 1 and 17.0 m (55.8 ft) for Lot 2. The proposed lot depth for both lots is approximately 22.7m (7 4.5ft). The current height provision of the RS-1 zone is 8.0m, measured at the mid-point of the roof structure. The proposed R-1 zone permits a higher building height of 9.5m at the mid-point of the roof or said another way, a three-storey structure. Should Council have a concern with this, a restrictive covenant could be required to limit the building height to 8.0m as per the RS-1 zone. iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: Each proposed dwelling unit will require a minimum of two off-street parking spaces. A minimum of one off-street parking space per dwelling unit shall be provided with roughed-in infrastructure capable of providing Level 2 charging. Visitor parking is not required for single-family dwellings. Bike parking will be accommodated within the single-family dwelling. 2021-571-RZ Page 3 of 5 iv) Proposed Variances: The required lot depth in the R-1 zone is 24.0 m (78.7 ft) and as such, a Development Variance Permit will be required to permit a reduced lot depth in the proposed lots. A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxation for both lots (see Appendix D): 1) Reducing the lot depth from 24.0m (78.7ft) to approximately 22.7m (7 4.5ft). The requested variances to the R-1 zone will be the subject of a future Council report. v) Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is not required; therefore, the application was not required to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. vi) Development Information Meeting: The proposed development is creating two single-family residential lots, and therefore a Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. vii) Parkland Requirement: As there are less than three lots being created, the application will not be subject to the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to subdivision approval. 4. Environmental Implications: An arborist report has been submitted by the applicant and reviewed. A total of seven trees have been identified on the subject site. Of these, four trees have been identified for removal as they conflict with the proposed construction plan. Additionally, four replacement trees (two per lot) or a cash-in-lieu amount will be required. Street trees have also been identified as an Engineering requirement along 216 Street and 124 Avenue. 5. Interdepartmental Implications: i) Engineering Department: ii) The Engineering Department has indicated that the following servicing upgrades will be required through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement: • Road dedication as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Utility servicing as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Frontage upgrades to the applicable road standard. Parks. Recreation and Culture Department: The Trans-Canada Trail follows 124 Avenue along the current sidewalk. Additionally, the existing bike lanes will continue to follow along 216 Street. 2021-571-RZ Page 4 of 5 iii) Fire Department: No concerns. 6. School District No. 42 Comments: A referral was sent to School District No. 42 and they provided a response on April 21, 2023, which is attached to this report as Appendix E. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7821-2021, and that application 2021-571-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

All units are slab on grade, three storeys in height, and have three bedrooms, plus a flex room/den. They also have two and a half bathrooms, with side-by-side two car garages. 3. Project Description: The subject properties have a combined total area of 0.301 ha (0.7 44 acres) and are bounded by single-family residential lots to the north, south, and west sides, with 228 Street on the east (see Appendix D). The subject properties currently each consist of a residential single-family dwelling which will be demolished as a condition of rezoning. Furthermore, vegetation (dominantly bigleaf maple trees) are located throughout the two properties with lot grades that are relatively flat. A requirement of the development of these properties is to ensure the drainage is captured on site and conveyed back to the 228th Street storm main line to meet the City's Stormwater Management Requirements. To accommodate this, the rear of the property must be raised. The proposed solution is a 1.2 meter (3.94 feet) high wall on the rear portion of the side parcel lines that will contain drainage on site and stop the present overland drainage from being conveyed onto neighboring properties. Raising the land internal to the site is designed to not negatively impact the neighboring properties with regards to drainage. This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP). 4. Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Town Centre Area Plan and is currently designated Ground-Oriented Multi-Family. The .proposed RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) zoning is supported by the Town Centre Area Plan. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit the construction of a 17-unit townhouse development. The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) zone is 1,000 m2 which is satisfied by this project, which has an approximate lot area of 2,981.25 m2 once road dedication has been provided. The proposed variances are required to allow for more comfortable spacing of units on the site and to allow the porches to be provided that will make the project blend into the neighborhood. Additionally, the proposal indicates that parking will not be tandem. iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 requires that RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) provide two off-street parking spaces per dwelling unit, plus 0.2 spaces per 2020-432-RZ Page 3 of 6 dwelling unit designated for visitors. As there are 17 dwelling units proposed, 34 resident parking spaces are required and four visitor parking spaces are provided as required. Additionally, a minimum of one parking space per dwelling shall be provided with roughed-in infrastructure capable of providing Level 2 charging. All parking requirements are being met, with an additional visitor parking space provided (see Appendix D). iv) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations to Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 (see Appendix D): • To reduce the front yard setback from 5.0m (16.40 ft) to 4.5m (14.76 ft); • To reduce the rear lot line setback from 7.5m (24.60 ft) to 6.37m (20.90 ft); • To reduce the interior lot line setback from 6.0m (19.69 ft) to 4.5m (14.76 ft). The requested variances to the RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) zone will be the subject of a future Council report and are consistent with variances for other similar townhouse applications. v) Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit application is required for all multi-family residential, flexible mixed use and commercial development located in the Town Centre. vi) Advisory Design Panel: The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held on July 20, 2022. A rendering of the development is attached with revisions as per the meeting outcome (Appendix H). The ADP concerns have been addressed and are reflected in the current architectural plans. A summary of the resolutions and developer's response has been provided (see Appendix F). A detailed description of the project's form and character will be included in a future Development Permit report to Council. vii) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting hosted by the applicant was held at Harry Hooge Elementary School on February 23, 2023. The notification requirements for the Development Information Meeting include a mail-out, newspaper advertisements, and notice on the development signs that provides the contact information for the developer and information on the development. Four people attended the meeting. The main concern from public consultation was with regards to traffic, parking and road upgrades. Traffic and parking considerations have been assessed by the Engineering Department and are being addressed by the applicant. These concerns were initially brought up at Advisory Design Panel (ADP) and the applicant has included their changes as noted in Appendix F. The applicant notes that they have considered these issues in their proposed design, which includes a sidewalk to reduce street traffic and double garages to provide onsite parking for each unit. They will ensure that the development is aesthetically pleasing by taking street trees into account, and will follow best practices to minimize any pest problems that may arise during demolition. With regards to parking, 2020-432-RZ Page 4 of 6 the applicant has met the requirements of the City's Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, and has provided extra visitor parking. 5. Environmental Implications: Stormwater Management plans need to be coordinated with existing protected trees, grading, drainage, and landscaping plans. Currently, these two properties have a significant number of trees that are contributing to the community in tree canopy. However, the proposed layout of townhouses will require the removal of all trees on site. The forthcoming Development Permit will include trees within the landscaping plans (see Appendix E for current Landscape Plans). This development will also require a cash-in-lieu payment of $16,200 in order to compensate for loss of canopy and lack of replacement canopy. This amount will be taken as part of the Tree Permit for this site and utilized by the City in its tree planting program. 6. Interdepartmental Implications: i) Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has indicated that the following servicing upgrades will be required through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement: ii) • Road dedication as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Utility servicing as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. • Frontage upgrades to the applicable road standard. • New sanitary sewer service connection is required. • The site must be serviced by underground utilities. Parks, Recreation and Culture Department: There are no concerns from the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department at this time as all issues were addressed at Advisory Design Panel (ADP). iii) Fire Department: There are no issues from the Fire Department perspective at this time as there is a hydrant on the 228 Street frontage. 7. School District No. 42 Comments: Pursuant to Section 4 76 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is required. A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on October 20, 2023 and the following comments were noted. The proposed application would affect the student population for catchment areas served by Harry Hooge Elementary and Thomas Haney Secondary School. Harry Hooge Elementary has an operating capacity of 402 students, and is currently operating at 119% utilization. Thomas Haney Secondary has an operating capacity of 1200 students and is currently operating at 91% utilization. 2020-432-RZ Page 5 of 6 Though Harry Hooge Elementary is currently over-utilized, 139 of the 452 students currently enrolled at this school are from out of catchment (Appendix G). CONCLUSION: It is recommended that that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7713-2021, and that application 2020-432-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.
