Councillor Speirs asked if measures are being taken to lower the volume. The Mayor responded that as part of this process the GVRD is looking at mitigating programs to reduce the amount of storm water that goes into sanitary sewer systems. The District has an annual ongoing monitoring program in place to deal with that issue. Councillor Gordon stated that the Municipalities need to do some pro-active work to lessen the amount of water going into the sewer system such as low flow toilets, etc. Councillor Isaac asked if the District has given any consideration to installing water meters or if the GVRD has plans go in that direction soon. The General Manager of Public Works and Development Services responded that water meters are installed in high density uses but the cost would be prohibitive to retrofit single family homes in the entire lower mainland with water meters. The District is roughing in provisions for water meters in new homes, however, it will be a long time before all houses are on meters. He added that the GVRD is looking at water conservation initiatives but they will not happen overnight. Councillor King noted that water consumption is a global issue and people need to be responsible for their own water usage. It is a matter of finding the applicable technology to be able to do that.

Also, a geological investigation indicates substantial sand and gravel resources exist throughout the area. There is very little overburden and we do not anticipate any engineering or environmental problems in developing the area. .12 Pit Location.: Pine rree Way. Coquitlam Industrial Ave.. Maple Ridge Keystone Rd.. Mission Page 2 The preferred access to the subject area is along an existing road near the south boundary of a portion of the old PVI site (coloured in yellow on the site plan). We suggest that an acôess easement be established prior to any disposition of that portion of the PVI site. Failing the above, access is available from the township road reserve along the North boundary of the quarter section. In our opinion the development of this gravel resource will be needed for the community and will provide the highest and best use for this Crown land. We are prepared to discuss the zoning and development constraints with the District of Maple Ridge. We trust the above is in order. Yours truly, ALLARD CONTRACTORS LTD. 4MES T.

The proposal has been carefully considered by the applicant within the context of the siting for neighbouring residences. As well, the specific siting characteristics of the residence on the subject lot makes this a superior proposal to alternatives that would address the requirements of the zone. The Planning Department is recommending that this application be supported. II RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal Clerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of DVP/21/00 respecting property located at 21201 Wicklund Avenue will be considered by Council at the May 23r4 2000 meeting. III BACKGROUND: The applicant is proposing to construct a detached garage for a single family residence on Wicklund Avenue. The applicant has requested permission to construct the garage 3 metres from the front lot line. In 1987, this property was part of rezoning and subdivision application that saw an additional residential lot created to the west. The applicant has pointed out that as part of that application, a 3-metre strip of land was dedicated for road purposes, along the frontage of the lot. This proposal is at variance with the siting requirements of the zone as a consequence of that dedication. The siting proposed for the garage is quite consistent with the siting of adjacent residences to the east. The siting for these residences predates any road dedication and therefore closely approximates the siting requirements for the subject property had the road dedication not taken place\. The proposed siting of the garage also optimizes the siting relative to the location of the existing home. The home is located to the rear of the lot and towards the west side of the lot. As the home has little useable rear yard, the garage encloses the side yard to create a very private yard space adjacent to the home. - 1 - The reduced front yard requested for the garage would be of concern if the garage doors were sited towards the street. The applicant however proposes to access the garage from the side. The location of the existing driveway facilitates this orientation. This allows a more street-friendly presentation for the garage and ensures that all vehicles are parked without obstructing the sidewalk. IV CONCLUSION The proposal carefully considers neighbouring properties, the siting characteristics of the existing home and the streetscape. It is recommended that this application be supported. - Prepared by: Moreno Rossi, M_______ Planner Approved by: / Fryer, P Planning .ke J.

These are of excellent quality and are directly tributary to the Alouette River, • There was concern with possible siltation problems caused by stockpiling processed material and it was felt that plans should be in place to address this; • That there should be a buffer placed around Big Lake. Proposed Gravel Operation The applicant advised that the plan of development is to complete the contouring of Lot 1-6 and Lot 10 to create useable building sites by removing gravel. A permit has been issued by the Municipal Engineer under the Soils Removal Bylaw and Profit a Prendre Restrictive Covenant for removal of 75,000 m' of gravel per year and they are requesting consideration from Council to process the gravel prior to its removal. This processing will involve crushing, screening, sifting, sorting, grading and stockpiling - no wash will take place. The operation will not be within 50 m of any watezvourse. Based on the amount of material being removed, the number of trucks leaving the site is estimated to be 5 per hour. It was explained that the truck owners and the land owners impose penalties on the drivers that do not observe and encourage the residents to provide them with licence plate numbers of offending vehicles. They indicated that where infractions occur the offending truck operators vehicle is not allowed to be filled a second time. Official Community Plan Issues The Official Community Plan states that extraction of gravel reserves will be considered prior to full development of that resource, however that extraction levels would not exceed historic levels until alternative access is developed. The historical level has been established at 300,000 m 3 per year. The amount currently being mined from the area is well below that level. The amount of material being removed is weighed and the weigh slips are recorded and kept with the District. In addition topographic aerial photography undertaken annually allows for calculated checks on quantity of gravel removed. The environmental issues expressed by ARMS will be addressed through the Permit process. All plans will be reviewed by the Manager of Environmental Affairs to ensure compliance with best management guidelines and to ensure that monitoring and contingency plans are in place. This may require that security be taken. The issue of Big Lake, which is not on the subject property, will be dealt with when the land it is on develops. The Covenant was placed on the land in 1990 when it was rezoned for an industrial use. Under Profit a Prendre, the land owners surrendered the right to remove gravel from this land to the Municipality except under certain conditions. The following is a summary of the Covenant which charges the land under the Land Title Act. 1. The Covenant grants exclusive rights to the District of Maple Ridge under certain terms and conditions, to remove soil from the lands. 2. There is a Restrictive Covenant on the land which controls the removal of gravel except under certain conditions. These conditions are: Remove gravel to create building sites, roads, services or other improvements; or Remove a maximum of 75 m3 for any purpose from each parcel; or Use the soil for any manufacturing process carried on on the land. 3. The covenant further allows under a) that a permit must be issued by the Municipal Engineer. The permit can only be issued to an owner or a lessee and cannot be transferred, assigned or sold. 4. The Covenant will be terminated upon completion of: The opening of the North Fraser Freeway; or Another highway being opened in substantial alignment as the North Fraser Freeway; or Expiration of the Covenant on January 1, 2025 There is currently a Permit in place to permit removal of soil in accordance with a grading plan for the purpose of creating building sites.

Why isn't the ntumcipality exhausting the other exiing pits before they open new ones? Mrs. Robson - People in the area already have to dust more in their homes due to the settling of silt. How will this increase with the onset of sifting, sortkng and screening of the gravel, and how will this effect our waterways? Mr. 51a. Dyer - There is not going to be any water discharge. Mr. Gordon Robson - We have already fought for 50 yeais to get the fish back Into the Alouette River. Mr. Jim Allard - In the gravel industry there are many dust suppress &on techzüqizes. Mr. Gordon Robson - Are those the same kind of gravel removal techniques that are used in Coqvllam? Swe contThues dworesentafibn W. Jim Aflard - the 75,000 Cu. m. of gravel that is currently being hauled out of-the sight paxt of the 350,000 cm m. in the area per year, or above that? Mr. John Kirkpatrick - You cazmot Include this figure, nor can you enforce it on me. We were the ones who set the levels. Mr. Jim Aflaid - It was the OCP that selected the number. W. John Kfrkpetrick - The levels were raised in 1992 when we supplied the gravel to widen the highway in front of Cart's Sand & Gravel. Mr. Qiris Venzilng - Truckers speed down the hill all the time not adhering to the speed limL Their have been gravel sp& all. over the road that just st their because no or* sweeps them up. Mr. Gordon Robson - Mr. Kirkpatrick controls his drtvers driving, why can't you? Unkown - How many other people did you inform that this meeting Was taking place? This also effects their children, Did you call the schools down Dewdney Trunk Road and let them know? - Mr. SIad Dyer - The nod&atlon measures of this meeting were met and exceeded. Remember this issue must an go to a public hearing. Unknown - rve lived l, for 13 yws and been run off the road while on horseback by independent truckers. Unknown - People who bought their property 5 years ago, were promised that their would not be gravel extraction because of the covenant in place. This was promised toy people all those who bought in Whispering Falls. My property value has already gone down.. Mr. John Kirkpatrick - To come to the trucker's defense there are as many speeding cars that come down that road If not more than dump trucks. Mr. Bill Tupper - My property value has actually gone up. Mr. Gordon Robsort - Who agreed to the gravel extraction in the first place? Mr. Jim Allard - Stnce 1988 I've looked at all the property in the PVT area. You can only do gravel extraction in an M-2 industrial zoning, not any processing. If you want to do gravel processing why don't you apply for M-5 zoning like everyone else would have to. Mr. Gordon Robson - In all reality you could sell off the remainder of the lots, each one of the lot owners could apply for a gravel perniil:, and we could wind up with several independent gravel pits. Mr. Slide Dyer - I suppose that could happen, but the owns? a would first have to each hold, a Mflustry of Mines permit and a gravel extraction permit from the municipal*y. Mr. Jim Aflard - In any land use requiring gravel extraction, you must have a development or building permit. Gravel extraction for conaniercial purposes has to be M-5 rotting, Mr. Slide Dyer - We do not want an MS zoning, becaiae that would be peaxient allowing us to remove gravel from the site forever. Unknown - Does the permit require that you bring * back for public approval If you were to amend it for a longer time period. Mr. Slade Dyer - At the end of two years a two year extension can be requested from counciL Mr. Gordon Robson - If this application for a temporary permit goes through how long until you want to start running a Coment plant. Mr. Jim Allard - M-2 zoning allows for a cement plant, they could rain one now If they so wished. Mr. Slde Dyer - Back to the presentation outline Unknown - The people who live down 256 6 Street are locked in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Why don't you help us get out of the AIR that and so then we cm all develop our land. Fins 2566 Street was not designed for this kind of heavy truck traffic. Mr. Sleds Dyer- Actually the road was designed to accommodate Industrial traffic, Mr. Gordon Robson - This is half-true. Mr. Slide Dyer - To get out of the ALR you would have to go through Council and the Agricultural Lang Coi*ion. ETE Mr. Gordon Robson - Eventually this will turn into Pipeline Road, In Coquitlani, from a sntafl two lane road to a four lane major roadway. W. Jnn Allard - Pipeline Road is one of the major mutes In Coqaiitiam to the town center. Mr. Gordon Robson - How much gravel gets hauled out of Pipeline per year? Mr. Jim Allard - Approximately 15 million cu. rn/year. The land use In the 25P area is a major potential gravel resource. How do you define what gravel is? Why don't you have a Ceological Analysis done to determine the grade of the material? I have done my own research in the area and their was lots of sand and a higit percentege of rocks. Mr. Gordon Robson - We don't want you to deStroy our neighborhood. Mr. Siade Dyer - We are taking out what Is part of the historical level, and we already have a permit that allows extracon of the gravel. Mr. Chris Venning - The last Council of the municipality was voted out because of this, one of the biggest issues. This issue will not be passed. Mr. John Kfrkpak - I don't even know why you want to procssa the graveL It seenis to me that the market at the moment is for pit run gravel. Mr. Gordon Robson - These people have been lied to, therefore we have bet faith. We carmot even sue Coiuicilors Individually anymore. After Kirkpatrick's shut down their p1 there should be no more gravel going down 256' Street Unknown - Forestry will have about 450 loggIng trucks going down 256' Street within the next 6 months, as they are going to log across from the panic site at Alouette Lake. Unknown - How can we trust anything that you say to us. Mr. Bill Thpper - In all fairns if any of you owned this property even you Robson, it would be smart business to move the material before you sefl the lots. For you to sell the lot to someone like me who wants to build on the property,! have to have the gravel hauled away to level the ground before I can start cortuction. Unkzown - Then you shouldn't have bought the land. Unknown - Why don't you ruest from the municipality that the money that you pay into royalty es should be put BIde so that they can use the money to coiuct an alternate route. Unknown - Why don't you help us put in the alternate roadway. Unknown - Don't speak for everyone. Mr. Chris Veiming - Why don't the owner's of the property open the whole thing up, and you guys can build the road. Mr. Gordon Robson - This is the only incenthe the Municipality will have to build the other road, is to of you off from 256' Street The amount of revemie that will come from that property will eventually force them to build another access route. If! hadn't been on the CBC land I. cornniittee when the property was sold by a'own lands, I would probably be a partner of Rick's as one of the owners. I 3mow how much revenue the resources on the pro party will generate. There is also a major clay depost up there which hasn't even come up as an issue yet. Mr. Chris Yenning - How do you set up a septic fi.ld in non-virgin topsoil? Mr. Ross Davies - What kinds of contingency plans do you have for when you run into groundwater? W. Jeff Cayton (President of the Alouette River Management Society) - There are two email eeks T-10 and T-fl, as you go north of the Sawdust Shack Caft Mr. Gordon Robson - Where is the silt going laow? Mr. Slade Dyer - A settling ponci Mr. Ross Davies - T40 and T.fl, flow into the South Alouette. Ilm creeks are of veiy good qualfty of water and food is plentiful. These creeks have been reconstructed for 2 years, they bath have fish in them afl year round. If you were a fisb this is where you would want to live. Mr. Jeff Cayton - There should be a set back of some sort on Big Lake. Mr. Sled, Dyer - SI8 lake is not in the current development area. Mr. Gordon Robson - So will we have 7 gravel pits ruining the springs that flow into the river. Mr. Slade Dyer Reconflinied that this Item will be the subject cia future public hearing. SITE CHRONOLOGY MAPLE RIDGE BUSINESS & INDUSTRY PARK * The subject site was rezoned Industrial (M-2) in 1991. The zoning at that time allowed for a gravel processing use. However as a condition of zoning, a Profit a Prendre was registered against the title of this property prohibiting the processing or removal of gravel from this site without authorization by the Municipal Engineer, by way of a permit. The Phase I subdivision of this site was registered in 1996 creating Lots 1, 2, & 3, (Plan LMP27462) at the south end of the property. In April of 1999 the Phase U subdivision of this site, which included Lot 3 from the Phase I subdivision, was registered at the Land Title Office. This subdivision created 10 lots and a remainder. A condition of the Phase II preliminary subdivision approval dated September, 1997 was that a site grading plan be provided showing how the site was to be regraded to create viable lots for industrial use. * The site grading plans were produced and approved with the understanding that completion of this contouring would require the removal of excess material from the site. * In February of 1999 the Ministry of Mines issued permit No. G-7-1 78 for the regrading of this site, including the removal of Pit run material and screening and crushing operations. * In March of 1999 a soil removal permit was issued authorizing the removal of 75,000 cu. m. of materials per year from this site over a 5 year period, as per the approved grading plans. No processing of this material is permitted under the current zoning. * In February of this year an application was made to amend the O.C.P. to create a Temporary Industrial Use Permit Designation on this site WhiCh would allow for the processing of the material currently under permit (75,000 cu.m. per year) over SITE INFORMATION Plan of Development The plan of development for this site is to complete the contouring of Lots 1 -6 & Lot 10 to create viable Industrial use tots The proposed O.C.P. amendment would allow for the issuance of a Temp / Industrial Use Permit to process the gravel already being removed from the site. The processing operation would initially commence at the south end of the property and then be relocated north when the contouring of Lots 1 -4 is complete. The current gravel extraction permit issued by the Municipality for the purpose of site contouring expires on April 12, 2004. Preliminary Operational Plan The proposed Temporary Industrial Use Permit under the O.C.P. will be for the crushing, screening, sifting, sorting, grading and stockpiling of soil (as defined in Bylaw 4109 - 1988) on this site. No washing or cleaning of this material is being proposed. The amount of material to be processed will remain the same as is currently under permit (75,000 cu.m. per yr.). The actual operation Will also remain the same as the current gravel removal operation which is Monday - Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Based on 75,000 cu/rn. per yr the average number of trucks per hour is five and this would remain the same under the Temporary Industrial Use Permit, again as there is no additional material being removed than what is already permitted. Community Benefits The processing of this site material will provide an additional supply of processed gravel to the construction industry in Maple Ridge. This additional supply may reduce the demand for importing such material from the Municipalities of Mission and Coquittam. Site Topographics To create viable industrial use parcels, regrading and contouring of this site is required. Municipality has approved the site grading plan for this property and such works do not encroach upun adjacent properties Area Land Use This land area is designated as Industrial in the Official Community Plan. Industrial uses that are permissive under this designation include the processing of gravel. Schedule *13 7 of the Official Community Plan ( O.C.P.) also identifies this site as having a potential gravel resource. The O.C.P. further goes to state that gravel reserves in this area will be considered for use prior to development of the industrial potential. Environmental Impacts As stated under the preliminary operational plan no washing or cleaning of material is being proposed, therefore there will be no water discharge or sediment release into the surrounding watercourses by virtue of the proposed processing operation. Any buildings or structures required for this processing operation will be locatea outside the 50 m. setback as established under the watercourse Development Permit provisions of the O.C.P. Site Servicing The subject site is currently serviced by community water and each lot as it is developed will be serviced by an on site septic field, approved by the Ministry of Health. Storm sewer provisions are by open ditch and the site is serviced by Hydro and Telephone. No specific servicing is required for the - removal operation.

Objectives To facilitate the orderly development of service commercial properties through particular attention tor siting and form of service commercial buildings situated adjacent to residential properties. To ensure compatibility of service commercial and adjacent residential uses. To minimize visual and audible disruption to adjacent residential neighbourhoods through the use of appropriate buffering, landscaping, and uses. To properly site buildings to address site characteristics and minimize impacts on adjacent residential uses. To achieve high quality development in terms of a comprehensive design concept based on attention to general architectural style and detailing, scale, finishing materials, character and materials of façade and roof treatment, treatment of entrance ways, gradation of heights, design and placement of recreation areas, appropriate and safe access, parking arrangement and circulation, and landscaping. To ensure the character of the buildings is sympathetic to existing residential character and presents a quality image to the public streetfront and adjacent residential properties. Page 3 Bylaw No. 5878- 1999 D. Guidelines Buildings and structures should be located to ensure safe traffic circulation and access and adequate on-site parking. The character of service commercial uses should be enhanced by landscaping of substantial proportions around property lines, particularly adjacent to residential development, to ensure a compatible and smooth transition to abutting residential uses. Where possible, native vegetation should be retained to enhance the landscape planting by providing variety in maturity and scale. Design and construction of buildings should account for maximum sound attenuation between service commercial and residential uses. To ensure that noise generated on the site is addressed in the most appropriate manner, Council may request that a noise attenuation study be prepared. High intensity lighting and signage should be avoided when adjacent to residential property. Lighting and signage shall be designed so as to have no direct source of light visible from the pubLic right-of-way or adjacent land in residential use. Mechanical equipment, drive-through uses, service or car wash bays, restrooms, vending machines, unenclosed storage, and public telephones should be oriented on the site to face away from adjacent residential zones. Whenever possible, these uses should not be visible from an adjacent residential property. Particular attention should be made to the image presented to the streetfront and adjacent residential properties. A well defined pedestrian access to any accessory commercial use will be provided from the public sidewalk. Design will ensure that pedestrian use is given precedence over vehicular use. Architectural finishes and building design should be compatible with those used on buildings in adjacent residential neighbourhoods. Building design will mimic recent residential construction or the heritage character of a neighbourhood. Exterior finishes should be wood, brick, natural stone or other materials of warm appearance. Substantial areas of concrete should be avoided. Expanses of solid wall and glass are unacceptable. New buildings adjacent to existing small scale buildings such as houses should be designed to provide visual interest whilst protecting the privacy and livability of both properties E.

Hogarth and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer DATE: February 23, 2000 FILE NO: OCP/11/00 ATTN: CofW-PW&Dev OCP/11/00 (14140, 14160, 141709 14180, 14250, 14310 & 14320 - 256 St.) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to amend the Official Community Plan to designate the above noted property as an area where a temporary industrial use permit for gravel extraction, storage and processing may be allowed. The site consists of seven parcels and is currently zoned M-2 (General Industrial) which permits an Industrial Use except for extraction. I! RECOMMENDATION: That application OCPI1 1/00 (for property located at 14140 - 14320 256 Street) to designate property described in the memorandum dated February 23, 2000 as a Temporary Industrial Use Permit Area be forwarded to Public Hearing noting that the conditions to be met prior to Public Hearing of the Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw are detailed in that memorandum. Condition to be met prior to first reading: A Public Information Meeting must be held. f: Preparation of a phasing plan - Preparation of a preliminary operational plan III BACKGROUND: Applicant: Slade Dyer Owner: Maple Ridge Business and Industry Park Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 1-6 and Lot 10, D.L. 5326, Gp. 1, NWD OCP: Existing: Industrial Proposed: Industrial Zoning: Existing: M-2 (General Industrial) Proposed: M-2 (General Industrial) Surrounding Uses: Industrial -1- Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Temporary gravel processing Access: 256 St. IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The site consists of seven lots all zoned M-2 (General Industrial). There are significant gravel reserves on portions of all seven lots. The development plan for the site shows considerable regrading and contouring to create viable lots for industrial use and appropriate grading plans and permits have already been issued to allow removal of excess material. Specifically, a Soil Removai Permit has been issued by the District which permits the removal of 75,000 m' of soils per year without processing. The owner is now seeking permission to process and store the gravel on site and has applied for an OCP amendment to permit a Temporary Industrial Use Permit (TTIJP) for the site. There will be no increase in the amount of gravel already permitted for removal. V PLANNING ANALYSIS Zonin2 The subject parcels are zoned M-2 (General Industrial). Principal uses allowed in the M-2 zone are: a) Industrial use not including: asphalt, rubber and tar production and products manufacturing; hydrocarbon refining and bulk storage; chemical plants; stockyards and abattoirs; septic tank services; waste reduction plants: and extraction industrial use. b) Waste transfer stations; c) Industrial repair services; d) Industrial trade schools; e) Retail sale and rental of industrial vehicles, trailers, and heavy equipment: and f) One restaurant per lot limited to 200m2 gross floor area Further, an extraction industrial use is defined as a use providing for the extraction and storage of sand, gravel, minerals and peat. As a result, the operation of a gravel pit which includes the storage of material is not permitted in the M-2 zone. However, the removal of unprocessed material from the site is permitted, and this activity is contemplated in the Soil Removal Permit issued by the District. -2. Temporary Commercial or Industrial Use Permits Section 921 of the Municipal Act provides for areas to be designated in the Official Community Plan where a temporary commercial or industrial use permit may be allowed. Council must adopt an OCP Amending Bylaw identifying these areas prior to issuance of the permit. The TUP may, notwithstanding a zoning bylaw, allow any industrial use, including the processing of natural materials. Notice similar to a Development Variance Permit is required prior to Council authorization to issue the permit. The original permit expires within two years and the permit may be renewed only once for a maximum of two years. Council may specify conditions under which the use may be permitted and may take security to guarantee the performance of the terms of the permit. Council can also require the owner to restore the land as a condition of the permit. Official Community Plan Schedule "A" - Official Community Plan Schedule "A" recognizes the importance of gravel extraction in the community ands states: Consideration of soils also includes gravel resources. Gravel is an important com,nodir to the building industry and to Municipal operations, particularly for constructing and maintaining roads, sewers and water systems. The Municipal Ac: requires that the OCP iden:' gravel resources. Currently there are two operating gravel pits in the community and extensive gravel reserves to the north-east of the urban area. However, gravel extraction and on-size processing can have detrimental impacts on adjacent watercourse: if not properly planned and nzoniiored. The Municipality regulates soil removal under the Soil Removal Bylaw. A permit is required to remove soil from certain areas. This bylaw is used to regulate gravel extraction. Policy 16: Maple Ridge will require an Environmental Impact Assessnzen: to be undertaken for areas to be rezoned for high impact uses. The purpose of the assessment is to review impacts on the environment of proposed uses and to idenzfy or reconunend any necessary development monitoring and mitigation measures. Considering the nature of the proposed activity at this site, it is recommended that, as a condition of the TtUP, an environmental impact assessment be provided. The section on Economy and Employment encourages local work opportunities and investment leading to a more sustainable and self-reliant community. This section also recognizes the opportunities for economic growth in the primary resource sector. Specifically, Policy 53 states: Polic 53: The gravel reserves in the Industrial Reserve area at the north end of 256 Street will be considered for use prior to development of the industrial potential. However, before any additional gravel extraction traffic occurs, beyond historic levels. alternative access needs to be developed to prevent increased impacts on the residential character of the neighbourhood. -3- This issue was addressed by Council through the Soil Removal Permit process. The report to Council from the Municipal Engineer states that the 75,000 m' is well within the historic levels of 300,000 m' contemplated by this policy. The TIIJP does not include any changes to this limit. However, staff recommend that some basic information contained in a phasing and preliminary operating plan be provided to present to the public and Council prior to the OCP Amending Bylaw proceeding to Public Hearing. Of course, it is important to monitor extraction to ensure that the historic levels are not exceeded. Schedule "B" - Land Use Designations: The site is designated "Industrial" on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan and is zoned M-2 (General Industrial). This application is consistent with the existing land use designation. Schedule "D" - Major Public Utilities and Gravel Resources The site is identified on Schedule "D" of the Official Community Plan as a potential gravel. resource. This supports the proposal for gravel extraction which is currently permitted in the Soils Removal Bylaw. Schedule "E" - Watercourses designated for Special Treatment. Watercourses which flow through the site are identified on Schedule "F' of the OCP. The TIUP will address the guidelines and objective of Development Permit Area XXX, including compliance with Council policy for performance security for environmental protection. The environmental impact assessment required at.the TIUP stage will give direction regarding this protection. Schedule "H" - Development and Temporary Commercial & Industrial Use Permit Areas As a result of this application, Schedule "H" will be amended to include the site in a Temporary Industrial Use Permit area. Staff recommend that, consistent with Council policy (see attached), a Public Information Meeting be required prior to presentation of the OCP Amending Bylaw at Public Hearing. Outside Agencies Ministry of Energy and Mines The applicant has received a Reclamation Permit for this site. This permit sets out conditions and is valid until February 28, 2001. It will be necessary for the applicant to extend this Permit to coincide with the TIUP. Ministry of Environment The Development Permit Area XXX requirements are recommended as conditions of the TIUP. If the applicant requires Section 9 approvals from the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife -4- Branch. the requested environmental impact assessment will identify these approvals and provide information regarding mitigative measures that may be necessary. VI CONCLUSION: In summary, this application meets the policies of the Official Community Plan. The removal of gravel from this industrial area will enable further industrial development in the future. As a result, this application is supported by staff. It is therefore recommended that this application be forwarded to Public Hearing, subject to the conditions outlined in this report. • ,Ls.

Hogarth DATE: Apnl 6,2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: P.2-79-99 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: CoW SUBJECT: Service Commercial Report - Development Permit Area XXXVII 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The District has recently received a number of applications for service commercial uses abutting residential development. During the consideration of these applications it became apparent that a comprehensive set of policies and regulations to address the siting of service commercial uses when adjoining residential areas would prove to be a useful tool for applicants in designing their project, staff in preparing recommendations, and Council in its deliberation. The following report provides an overview of existing policies and regulations pertaining to service commercial and service station uses in the District, and identifies actions that could be taken to mediate the impacts of service commercial development on abutting residential properties. Many of the conclusions reached in this report result from the discussion of a working group comprised of three members of Council and staff. Firstly, the report recommends an amendment to Policy 51 in the Official Community Plan to establish a minimum distance separation of 800 metres between service stations, and a distance of 800 mçtres between, car wash uses (excluding the intersection of arterial or collector streets). The proposed policy would apply to all applications to rezone to Service Commercial (CS-i) or Service Station Commercial (CS-2) to provide for a service station or car wash use. However, existing CS-I or CS-2 zoned properties, or parcels of land not adjoining a residential lot would not be subject to this policy. The report further concludes that the establishment of Development Permit Area XXXVII is the most appropriate tool to address many of the concerns raised by, neighbouring residential properties when situated adjacent to service commercial establishments. Lastly, it is noted that the Zoning Bylaw provisions are appropriate, however, amendments regarding landscape screening; the placement of the principal building in relation to the drive-through use; and the prohibition of menu boards and similar electronic devices on service commercial parcels abutting residential designated properties are appropriate 2.0 RECOMMENDATION That: 1. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 5878-1999 be read a first time and that it proceed to Public Hearing; Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 5877-1999 be read a first time and that it proceed to Public Hearing; and The Community and Business Relations Department prepare a report identifying options regarding the regulation of hours of operation. 3.0 BACKGROUND At present there are 20 service stations and three (3) stand-alone car washes within the District of Maple Ridge (excluding applications under consideration at this time). The majority of these uses are situated on the Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road, in the western portion of the municipality. There are also four (4) properties under application for gas station use in the District: 2 rezoning applications at various readings; I approved development variance permit; and 1 approved development permit. The address and location of these gas station and car wash uses/applications are listed on the following charts, and are identified on the map attached to this report.

However, the comment was made that most larger gasoline companies have professional staff to assess the feasibility of a gas stations success per location, and that companies will not invest in an area if the market is not there. 4.0 DISCUSSION In preparing this report staff conducted a comparison of the District's OCP policies and zoning regulations utilized in the District to those Qf other jurisdictions, however the following report only references those portions of the Zoning Bylaw where deficiencies 3 were identified. Much of the recommendations identified in this report were formulated based upon the discussions and observations of a working group comprised of three members of Council (Mayor Hogarth, Councillor Gordon and Councillor Morse), the General Manager of the Public Works and Development Services Division, and staff from the Planning Department. 4.1 Official Community Plan Policy 51 The District of Maple Ridge Official Community Plan (OCP) contains a number of policies that support the economic development of the municipality and encourage the establishment of goals and objectives to stimulate local business initiatives. However, Policy 51 also states that service commercial developments must integrate with the character of an area and reads as follows: "Maple Ridge will support service commercial centres that accommodate the automobile, pedestrian and transit services and that will integrate into the character of the area." During the review it was observed that the existing policy successfully identifies the character the community would like to achieve for its service commercial centres, however, it does not provide direction regarding the location of car wash and service station uses when abutting residential designated property. Therefore, it is recommended that Policy 51 be amended to encourage the establishment of car wash and service station uses on collector and arterial streets, and that a minimum distance of 800 metres be maintained between service station uses, and the same minimum distance be used to separate car washes (with the exception of intersections). The specific policy reads as follows: "Maple Ridge will support service commercial centres that accommodate the automobile, pedestrian and transit services and that will integrate into the character of the area. Council may give consideration to applications for Service Commercial CS-i and Service Station Commercial CS-2 zoning for the purpose of a service station or car wash use, but where the proposed use adjoins a lot or parcel designated Residential in the Official Community Plan, preference will be given where: located on a site having direct access onto a collector or arterial street. a car wash use is to be located a minimum of 800 metres from any existing car wash use; despite Policy 51(b), two car wash uses each one sited on a different corner lot at the same intersection of two collector or two arterial streets may be permitted if both such car wash uses are located a minimum of 800 metres from any third car wash use; a service station use is to be located a minimum of 800 metres from any existing service station use; despite Policy 51(d), two service station uses each one sited on a different corner -- lot atihe -same-intersectiontllWOr011ectur yr twu csrtcriiisl atrect5 rwy be - 4 permitted if both such service station uses are located a minimum of 800 metres from any third service station use; and f) the distance between the two car wash uses and two service station uses is to be calculated by measuring the distance between the boundary of each site nearest the other at the point that such boundaries intersect the fronting highway." All applications to rezone to Service Commercial (CS-i) or Service Station Commercial (CS-2) zones, to provide for service station or car wash use will be subject to the above noted policy. However, it is noted that the policy will not apply to existing CS-I or CS-2 zoned properties, or parcels of land not adjoining a residential lot. Development Permit Areas Existing Development Permit Area XXVIII provides direction on the form and character of commercial and multi-family residential development, and has been used to address the form and character of service commercial development. However, none of the development permit areas housed in the OCP specifically address the form and siting of service commercial use when abutting residential property. Staff is of the opinion that the most appropriate mechanism to address issues relating to service commercial development when adjacent to residential use, is through the establishment of a Service Commercial Development Permit Area in the OCP. Attached to this report is OCP Amending Bylaw No. 5878-1999 to establish Development Permit Area XXXVII. The Development Permit Area requires that a development permit be obtained for any service commercial project that is proposed adjoining property designated for residential use. The intent of the objectives and guidelines are to ensure that the visual and audible disruption to a neighbourhood is minimized through the use of appropriate buffering, landscaping and siting techniques. The draft Development Permit Area proposes the establishment of a variety of objectives and guidelines, such as service or car wash bays, restrooms, public telephones, vending machines, windows, mechanical equipment and unenclosed storage be oriented on the site to face away from abutting residential uses. Also proposed are guidelines relating to the visibility of the drive-through use, lighting, design of buildings, pedestrian access to the accessory commercial use, and traffic circulation. Proposed for inclusion in Development Permit Area XXXVII are all designated service commercial properties in the OCP. Staff note that a development permit would not be required for any service commercial property that does not abut a lot or parcel designated for residential use. 4.2 Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 Sections 707 and 708 of the Zoning Bylaw prescribe the requirements for development in the CS-i Service Commercial and CS-2 Service Station Commercial Zones. Generally, the CS-i Service Commercial zone is intended to accommodate uses oriented to the motoring public, and allows for a range of commercial activity including service stations, drive-through businesses, and restaurants. The CS-2 Service Station Zone is intended for service stations and car wash uses, with accessory uses including restaurant, convenience store, automotive accessories, and vehicle repair. Having reviewed the list of permitted uses, minimum lot size, and other bylaw requirements, it is concluded that the District's standards for service commercial use are very similar to those of other municipalities, and no major amendments are necessary. However, the staff did identify portions of the Bylaw that do wananc amendment, such as the siting of service commercial buildings; landscape screening; and the use of menu boards or order boxes on the service commercial property. The following section of this report focuses on these issues. Siting of Service Commercial Building With the exception of the setback requirements in the Bylaw, the CS-i and CS-2 zones are silent with respect to the placement of service commercial buildings on a site. The City of Abbotsford Zoning Bylaw has a zoning provision that requires that a service commercial building be situated to act as a buffer between drive-through and adjoining uses. Specifically, the Abbotsford Bylaw requires: "a building is located between the drive-through aisle and a lot line shared with a lot zoned R or RM" Recognizing the role that a building can play in the buffering of use, staff recommend that a provision similar to that of the City of Abbotsford be included in the District of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw. Landscape Screen The District of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw defines landscape screen as "a visual barrier composed of continuous evergreen hedge, wooden fence or masonry wall, or a combination thereof, which is broken only be access drives, lanes and walkways". The District of Pitt Meadows zoning bylaw states that where service commercial. development is proposed adjacent to a residential property, that screening be installed so that "no person is able to see through it". Given the interface between service commercial and service station uses and residential properties in the Disthct, staff recommend that the definition of landscape screen be amended to clarify that one should not be able to see through it. Order Boxes Many of the complaints received regarding drive-through use are related to noise resulting from the placement of a take-out order box or other electronic device. At present, the District of Maple Ridge does not have specific policies pertaining to the placement of order boxes. Staff were unable to locate any Canadian examples, but are aware that some American cities prohibit the use of order boxes when the subject property is adjacent to residential use. It is recommended that the Zoning Bylaw be amended to prohibit the use of an order box on service commercial property, adjoining a - — -- iesklential designatedproperty: P. permitted on the service commercial property, however orders would be taken via a drive-up window, as opposed to an order box. 43 Hours of Operation The hours of operatián for service commercial use is often cited as a concern by residential property owners. In the recent past, the Municipal Act did not provide municipalities with the authority to regulate hours of operation, and for that reason, the District has not regulated hours of operation for certain uses. Instead, the District has consulted with service commercial proponents, who have volunteered to have resthctive covenants pertaining to hours of operation registered.on the title to their properties. However, recent amendments to the Municipal Act have expanded the municipalities powers pertaining to business licensing, and it is now possible to regulate hours of operation. Community and Business Relation Staff will be researching this issue and will bring forward a report to Council identifying a variety of options. 5.0 CONCLUSION This report provides an overview of the issues that have been raised as a result of the interface between service commercial, service station and residential use. Pursuant with the review staff recommend that Policy 51 in the OCP be amended in order encourage the location of car wash and service statiofl uses on arterial and collector streets. The Policy also establishes a minimum distance separation of 800 metres between car washes, plus an 800 metre minimum distance separation between service station uses. It is noted that existing CS-i or CS-2 zoned properties, and parcels of land not adjoining a residential lot would not be subject to this policy. The report also confirms the need to ensure that service commercial and service station uses develop in a consistent and neighbourhood sympathetic manner, and for that reason staff is recommending that Development Permit Area XXXVII be established. A review of the Zoning Bylaw revealed that for the most part, the District's zoning regulations are similar to those of neighbouring municipalities. However, staff did identify areas within the Bylaw that should be amended in order to minimize the impacts of service cOmmercial uses on adjoining residential properties. Specifically, staff is recommending that the Zoning Bylaw be amended to: clarify that a landscape screen be planted or installed so that no person is able to see through it; establish a requirement that a building is to be located between a drive- through aisle, for developments adjoining property designated for residential use; and prohibit the use of order boxes or similar instrument on service commercial properties adjoining property designated for residential use. 7 Lastly, recognizing that many of the concerns relating to service commercial uses when adjacent to residential designated property stems from the hours of operation of certain establishments, staff will be preparing a report identifying options for addressing hours of operation.

Hogarth DATE: May 4th, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: ALPJ24/00 FROM: ChiefAdministrative Officer ATTN: C of W - PW & Dcv SUBJECT: ALPJ24/00 (address 22875-132 w Street) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received for Subdivision or Use in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) under section 22(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) Act. The ALC Act requires applications under this section be authorized by the local government to proceed to the Land Reserve Commission (LRC) for consideration. The proposed use as described in the application is the drying of sea urchin shells and the production of an organic fertilizer. The Land Reserve Commission (LRC) does not consider this to be an agricultural use, therefore an application and approval by the LRC is required for the owner to continue this activity in the ALR. Based on the use as proposed and the proximity to rural residential and future urban residential use it is recommended that authorization to forward this application to the LRC be denied. II RECOMMENDATION: That application ALRt24/00(for property located at 22875-132" Street) for Subdivision or Use in the Agricultural Land Reserve under section 22(1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act, described in the report dated May 4", 2000, not be authorized to proceed to the Land Reserve Commkslon. II BACKGROUND: Applicant: Owner: Resident: Legal Description: OCP: Zoning: Surrounding Uses: Sylvis Environmental Services Norma Y. Nelson John Nelson West 7.8 Chains of the North East Quarter Section 29 Township 12 Except: Part Subdivided by Plan 32932, New Westminster District Agricultural/Conservation and Compact Housing (30 u/ha.)

L im -1- Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Previous Applications: III PROJECT DESC Residence, Wooded lot, accessory buildings Production of organic fertilizer From 132' Street n/a RWflON: The resident of this site, Mr. John Nelson, is currently manufacturing organicfertilizer from sea urchin shells. Mr. Nelson has explained to the LRC that he imports approximately 25,000 lbs/day of sea urchin waste obtained from various seafood processors. This seafood waste is heated and tumbled in the drying facility resulting in an end product that resembles broken shells. The Applicant describes the drying facility as having a land footprint of 2973 sq.m. in area. Through the process of drying the shells with natural gas as a heat source, a large volume of steam is generated. The steam is directed to an adjacent 139 sq.m. greenhouse as a source of heat. The Applicant indicates the production of steam is sufficient to heat a possible future greenhouse of an additional 1394 sq.m. Attached is a letter from Mr. Nelson dated November 12' 1999 describing the current conditions on site. All of this activity occurs on the low land or ALR portion of this property. Based on the volume of seafood waste imported, the land area consumed for facilities to treat the seafood waste, it is clear the manufacturing of fertilizer is the principal use, and the heat generated is directed to an incidental agricultural use, a small greenhouse. The Applicant has been processing on this site without benefit of the necessary permits since November 1998. The Ministry of the Environment investigated complaints of odors on November 23d 1998. The report indicated that equipment to process sea urchins into a soil supplement on site was being tested by Mr. Nelson. The investigation concluded that no evidence could be found to indicate waste produced was being buried on site. In April 1999 further complaints from nearby residents of odors emanating from the site, prompted an investigation by Bylaw Enforcement, GVRD Air Quality Department, and the LRC. The investigation was conducted on May 7', 1999 and the LRC offered two options to Mr. Nelson and the Owner. immediately cease the unauthorized non-farm use, remove all associated equipment and waste stockpiles and restore the land to an agricultural standard, or submit an application pursuant to Section 22 of the ALC Act. Mr. Nelson has continued to operate The processing equipment after receiving notice from the District of Maple Ridge to cease and desist An application for non-farm use has now been received. Attached to this memo is additional information from the Applicant describing production activities and how Mr. Nelson will deal with further complaints of odor. This information was provided with the application for the LRC and is included here for the consideration of Council. As complaints with respect to odor are received by the Municipality notice is given to the GVRD Air Quality Department about the specifics of the complaint. The GVRD then contacts Mr. Nelson with concern for ar quality and information as to the source of the emission. This process has been -2- established as the production facilities on this site are in contravention of District of Maple Ridge Bylaws. Any direct contact with Mr. Nelson to mitigate the odor problem may be perceived as Municipal support for this illegal use of the property. IV PLANNING ANALYSIS (I) Official Community Plan The southern half of the site is designated Agricultural and is within the ALR. The north half is designated for future urban use. - (II) Zoning Bylaw The proposed use described in the application is not consistent with uses permitted in the RS-3 Rural Residential Zone. If this application is forwarded to the LRC and approved as a nonfarm use a portion of the site must be rezoned to accommodate a high impact industrial use. The location of the processing operation will be on the lowland agricultural lands that are adjacent to an area of numerous small lot rural residences. The impact of this processing use will be significant. Further the northern portion of the site is designated Compact Housing at 30 units I net ha. Considering present residential use and anticipated future use of surrounding parcels, staff do not support an OCP amendment and Zoning change to permit the processing operation. VI CONCLUSION: As the LRC does not consider the use described as agricultural and given that Staff are not prepared to support redesignation and rezoning for these agricultural lands, it is recommended that this application not be authorized to proceed to the LRC for consideration.

Farm Use Objectives On a small portion of the Nelson farm located at 22875 132 Street in Maple Ridge Mr. John Nelson operates a therma$ drying and boiler facirity for the production of an organic fertikzer for use in agricultural and steam used to heat a greenhouse. A side view of this facility is shown in Photograph 4. The drying facility, with a land footprint of lOOm by 30 m (0.03 he of the 8 ha parcel) uses natural gas to dry sea urchin shells generated from aquiculture. The location and size of this facility as compared to the property itself and adjacent landowners is identified on a map found in Schedule I (attached). Once dry, the organic amendment is ground and prepared for use as a soil amendment and fertilizer for organic food production. A portion of the production Is used on site, with the remaining being marketed for retail and commercial sales. The drying operation requires significant amounts of heat, and produces steam as the drying operation proceeds. This steam is used to heat a greenhouse operation with the opportunity for expansion. Benefits of Use The benefits of this facility are threefold, and include local employment, waste recycling and product development and heat generation. Local Employment Operating the drier and producing the organic feitTizer employs sb people direct from within the District of Maple Ridge, and an estimated 300 indIrect people involved in the initial processing, trucking and fertilizer distribution and sales. Expanding the existing greenhouse operations Is thought to employ an additional five full time local people on site. Recydllng a Waste to Resource The creation of a value-added product from the waste stream of a dissociated operation is the keystone in Rfe cycle assessments aid sustainable development of our communities. Sea urchin shells have little or no Intrinsic value, and are generated as waste product In the production of food for human consumption - and the processing of this material into an organic fertilizer is thought comparable to the processing of an oft- site generated agricultural waste, albeit this product Is derived from the ocean and not that from dairy or swine production.

With increased capture aid condensation of the steam, there is the oppoitunity to significantly increase the area of heated greenhouse space. This can be seen in Photograph 5. Area for possible greenhouse development on this prOperty as it relates to the size and location of the processing facility can be seen in Schedule 1. Heating greenhouse space is a costly expense in 'under glass operations, and the use of this energy in the heating and expansion of the existing greenhouse space is an obvious beneficial arid appropriate use.

The drying facility has been under development since it's inception, with Mr. Nelson devising better and more efficient ways to produce the organic fertilizer product, capture and recycle more of the heat generated in the form of steam, and treat and minimize the generation of odours. In the original dryer, there was no odour control, and odours dissipated from the site with the excess steam. In further developing the drying, and facilitating the use of the steam for heat a significant amount of the odour has been reduced. On two of the three odour generation source points the steam is now routed through large ozone generators that effectively mitigate the odour produced from these sources. One of these ozone generators is shown in Photograph 2. In addressing concerns raised by local neighbours Mr. Nelson has personally visited with 8 of his closest neighbours, of which none have acknowledged to Mr. Nelson that they have been affected by a serious odour concern. While Mr. Nelson is aware of the odour problems eliminating these. odours and mitigating adjacent neighbours complaints has been difficult due to a lack of communication between the District of Maple Ridge, the GVRD and Mr. Nelson. Complaints received regarding the odour emissions rarely were directed at Mr. Nelson, making it difficult to isolate and eliminate the odour source. This communication problem has been eliminated with both offices now notifying Mr. Nelson of the time and approximate location as to where the odour complaint was received. With this infomiation and noting the activities on the farm and the direction of the wind and unique weather conditions, W. Nelson is pursuing. reduction, and ultimate elimination of the odour concerns. Maple Ridge Zoning The property on which the previously described activity occurs is within the Jurisdiction of the BC Land Commission (originally referred to as ALR laid under the ALC), and is zoned RS-3 by the Corporation at the District of Maple Ridge. Permlssiofl of Use - Land Commission Authorization The BC Land Reserve Commission has stated that it does not consider the production of organic fertilizer and heat as an authorized use at farmland within the Laid Commission.

With approval, the third location where odours originate from will have control measures implemented. This odour source can be seen in Photograph 3. Mr. Nelson has assured me that with the addition of this third ozone generator, and more efficient capture and use of the heat as steam that virtual odour elimination is possible. With appropriate zoning, this facility could be enclosed in a farmyard building eliminating the odour associated with the arrival of the sea urchin shells (see Photograph 1), and providing product storage for the organic fertilizer and soil amendment produced.

Hogarth and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer DVP/20/00 (22100 136 Ave.) DATE: May 1, 2000 FILE NO:DVP/20/00 ATTN: Committee of the Whole EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The owners of the subject property plan to expand their existing mushroom growing business and have requested a relaxation in the required setback for a proposed cold storage building from 30 m to 5 m from the top of bank of a stream channel. The location of the building would permit the existing and proposed buildings to be linked with an enclosed walkway in order to recycle cooled air between buildings. The 5 msetback is supported by staff and the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch provided that the channel bank is revegitated. II RECOMMENDATION: That the Municipal aerk be authorized to notify qualifying property owners that approval of DVP/20/00 respecting property located at 22100 136 Ave. will be considered by Council at the June 13, 2000 meetIng. Ill BACKGROUND: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Surrounding Uses N: S,E&W: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Access: Servicing: IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION D. Jansen Yi-Shiung Hsu and Ching-Ju LAn Hsu E½oftheW½oftheNl/2oftheNEl/4,Sec.30, Tp. 12, NWD Agricultural A-2 Cranberry Bog Agricultural/Residential Mushroom Farm Expansion to Mushroom Farm 136 Ave. Rural Standards apply The owners of the subject property are interested in expanding the existing mushroom growing operation. There is an existing stream channel located south of the existing buildings. The owners wish to locate a new building on the south side of the stream channel. Zoning Bylaw Sec. 503 (2)(c)(iii) states that: D5, "Buildings and StrUCtUres for agricultural use that involve mushroom growing shall be sited not less than 30 metres from all wells and streams." The owner requested that the building be located directly adjacent to the stream. It was concluded, through discussion with the Ministry of Environment Habitat Protection Officer and the owners, that a 5 in setback from top of bank would be acceptable. The building will be used for cold storage and not require any direct discharge of fluids to the stream. Respecting the zoning bylaw requirement of a 30 in setback, the owners are requesting a variance of 25 in to allow construction of the new building. V PLANNING ANALYSIS (i) Official Community Plan Designation The subject property is located in the Agricultural Land Reserve and is designated Agricultural on Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan. (II) Land Use The owners currently operate a mushroom farm. The existing building is cooled, creating the appropriate environment for the operation. The proposed building will also function under a cooled environment. It is the owners intention to site the proposed building close enough to the existing building in order to recycle the cooler air from the first building to the second building via an enclosed walkway. Through discussion with staff and the Habitat Protection Officer, the agreed setback from the top of bank is 5 metres. (iii) Stream Channel Diversion The original channel angled through the property in t; north west direction. As well, periodically during the year the channel would flood its banks. The owner redirected the channel and increased the flow capacity to reduce the number of flood events. As compensation for the reduced building setback and to add some habitat value to the stream channel, the Ministry of Environment, Fish and Wildlife Branch are requesting a compensation package that includes planting native tree species along the top of bank and hydn)-seeding the channel. These works are also intended to provide erosion control. The District has a copy of the "first draft" replanting proposal. Respecting that amendments to the plan, including hydro-seeding are required by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, it is recommended that final issuance of DVP/20/00 be conditional on approval of this compensation package. -2. VI CONCLUSION: Staff have reviewed this project with the owners and various consultants and conclude that due to the nature of the business and the anticipated use of the proposed building that the 5 m setback will not pose a hazard to the creek system. However the builder should take the necessary steps to floodproof the building, and the compensation package must be approved. --.

SUBJECT: GVRD-Liquid Waste Management Plan SUMMARY: The GVRD and it's member municipalities have been undertaldng detailed engineering and scientific investigations with the objective of completing a Stage 2 Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP). The LWMP is a comprehensive sewage and drainage management plan designed to address all forms of liquid waste generated within the region. The LWMP presents a preferred approach to liquid waste management that is based on a commitment to comprehensive environmental monitoring and assessments. The plan is founded on the basic principle of managing waste in a manner that enhances environmental quality. Stage 2 of the plan has been prepared over the last two years. In October of 1999, municipal Councils in the GVR]) endorsed the LWMP dated August 30, 1999. Prior to the plan being presented to the GVRD Board in 1999 the provincial and federal environmental agencies requested a number of refinements. A six-month extension to complete the plan was granted by Ministry of Environment Lands and Parks. Over the last four months the GVRD in cooperation with municipalities refined the plan to address the agencies requirements. The GVRD is now requesting endorsement of the revised document titled "Greater Vancouver Regional District Liquid Waste Management Plan Stage 2 Policies and Commitments" dated March 2000. The LWMP will then be submitted to the GVRD Board and the Minister of Environment Lands and Parks for approval. Should Stage 2 receive approval from the Minister then the GYRD will complete Stage 3 of the plan. GVRD planning staff will present a summary of the LWMP at the May 23, 2000 Council meeting. RECOMMENDATION: That Council endorse the draft LWMP document entitled "Liquid Waste Management Plan Stage 2 Policies and Commltmen&' dated March, 2000 and that the GVRD be so advised. flat Council endorse the GVRD's preparation of LWMP Stage 3 subject to the approval of the Stage 2 document by the Minister of Environment, Lands and Parks. BACKGROUND The LWMP was advanced in response to the new Municipal Sewage Regulation, which came into effect in July 1999. This regulation would require secondary treatment as a minimum standard regardless of location and regardless of conditions in the receiving waterways. Such a requirement would cost an estimated half a billion dollars to the region. fcC A Liquid Waste Management Plan approach however, examines the conditions in a municipality or region and develops the best option to ensure protection of the waterways, in full consideration of the environment, social aspects, and economics. An approved Liquid Waste Management Plan takes precedence over the regulation and provides significantly greater flexibility. More stringent or less stringent requirements than identified in the regulation may be required depending on the situation. The Provinc can enforce compliance with an approved LWMP. This is the preferred approach that the GVRD is following. Upon completion this plan will strive to: • Prevent the introduction of pollutants into receiving waters • Conserve drinking water • Conserve the quality and quantity of stormwater • Maintain infrastructure so as to avoid expensive future expenditure • Stretch the capacity of current infrastructure through demand management • Maximize the environmental benefit per dollar spent The LWMP is specific to the geographical area of the GVRD. Following completion of the technical work associated with the development of the LWMP and the public process, municipal Councils including Maple Ridge endorsed Stage 2 of the Plan in October 1999. Concurrent to receiving endorsements from municipal councils the GVRD received letters from the senior regulatory agencies advising that further revisions were required before approval could be granted. Over the last four months the LWMP document has been further refined to include specific changes required by the agencies. ChanEes to Staae 2 Document The LWMP document has been further refined to include specific changes required by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks. The key issues that have been addressed include: • Clarification regarding the Ministry's designation of receiving water uses and water quality objectives and the role of the GVRD and municipalities in this process. • The base level of treatment at the GVRD wastewater treatment plants and the triggers that would require higher levels of treatment to be implemented. • Documentation of the potential range of future GVRD expenditures if higher levels of treatment are required to protect the receiving waters. • A commitment to the long-term eliniintion of combined sewer overflows. • A review of the plan's performance on a five-year basis. The federal agency comments have been focused on ensuring that the plan reflects the requirements of all applicable federal legislation. The plan now refers to federal legislation; includes a commitment to toxicity assessment of treatment plant effluent; and clarifies the policy with regard to the elimination of combined sewer overflows from District facilities. -2- DISCUSSION The LWMP commitments require new programs that are funded by the GVRD and member municipalities as applicable. Municipalities must determine the appropriate level of new funding required for the LWMP for programs under their jurisdiction. The GVRD estimates that the initial cost for Maple Ridge could be approximately $175,000 to undertake sewer system evaluation programs. By comparison the 1999 and 2000 annual budgets for similar programs is collectively about $180,000. Sewer evaluation programs determine the amount of sewer repair and replacement required. The C}VRD estimates that annual repair and replacement programs could be in the order of 0.33% to 1% of the sewer asset depending on the severity of the repairs required. Since the majority of the sanitary system in Maple Ridge is understood to be in relatively good repair the annual costs are at the lower end of this scale. As the infrastructure ages and, should the repairs be postponed then these costs could significantly increase. 1999-2000 budget for Maple Ridge is approximately $180,000 for similar programs. This is about 0.4% of the sewer asset in Maple Ridge. Overall the estimated costs for sanitary sewer analysis and repairs are in line with the District's current budgets. The costs for stormwater planning and capital programs is undefined at present. In addition there are minimal direct costs to municipalities identified at this time for non-point source correction. The LWMP states that under the preferred approach the annual GVRD expenditures will increase by about $40 million by the year 2008. This is primarily for wastewater treatment programs and upgrades. This would net out at about an annual increase of $32 per year for the "average house" by the year 2008. BUSINESS PLANNING To address the LWMP issues the Engineering 2000 Business Plan incorporated a number of strategic planning objectives based on sustainability. For example, the Business Plan includes for a Sanitary Sewer Master Plan. The Master Plan will review and analyze the sanitary system throughout the municipality. One product of this Master Plan is a forecast of sewer revenues and expenses and how, combined with sewer reserve funds, a gradual, less steep increase in sewer rates to property owners in Maple Ridge can be accommodated. This phased approach mitigates against sudden large increases in sewer rates. A similar Master Plan for the water system is also in the Business Plan. The LWMP recognizes the need for greater emphasis on planning for the rehabilitation and replacement needs for stormwater infrastructure. However given the increasing financing pressures for stormwater management, suggestions have been made for drainage to be integrated into a stand alone "Drainage Utility". Some municipalities are investigating the concept of expanding the Sewer Utility Fund to include a drainage component. Further analysis through the Engineering Business Plans is required to fully examine these concepts. CONCLUSIONS The draft Stage 2 document is the culmination of many years of work by the GVRD and member municipalities. It has already been endorsed by a number of municipalities. It is an important step in a comprehensive management of liquid waste for the region. It does have cost impacts to Maple Ridge. These are being dealt with through Engineering Business Plans and capital programs. -3- Following endorsement by all Jurisdictions in the region the Stage 2 LWMP will be presented to the GVR.D Board for adoption. It will then be forwarded to the Minister for approval. The final Stage 3 LWMP process, including further public input will commence immediately following approval of Stage 2 by the Minister. Stage 2 is essentially the implementation strategy for the Plan. 7 1 4 Prepared b: Frank Quinn P.Eng., PMP Municipal Engineer Aroveè4 J.R olph,AICP, MCIP GM: Public Works & Development Services Robert WRobertson, AICP, MCIP Chief Executive Officer -4- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A.

Certain services constructed by the developer were identified in the Long Term Capital Program as Development Cost Charge projects and were included in Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Bylaw No. 5329-1995, the Bylaw which applied to the subdivision. It is appropriate to authorize expenditure of $168,706.00 from Development Cost Charge funds to account for the Development Cost Charge services constructed by the developer. RECOMMENDATION: That with respect to Subdivision 46193 be it resolved that in view of the necessity for constructing road, storm sewer and water main works in the area of 238B Street and Dewdney Trunk Road , the developer be compensated in the amount of $ 168,706.00 following the adoption of Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Reserve Fund Expenditure Bylaw No. 5897-2000, and, That Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Reserve Fund Expenditure Bylaw No. 5897-2000 be read a first and second time and that the rules of order be waived and that Maple Ridge Development Cost Charge Reserve Fund Expenditure Bylaw No. 5897-2000 be read a third time. BACKGROUND: a) Purpose: Certain subdivision servicing constructed in support of a subdivision at 238B Street and Dewdney Trunk Road (SD 46/93) is eligible for Development Cost Charge payback with respect to the following Long Term Capital Projects: LTC 7433 - 238B Street (Dewdney Trunk Rd. to 220m north) - Highway $85,223.00 LTC 7435 - 238B Street (Dewdney Trunk Rd. to 290m north) - Water main $38,190.00 LTC 7439 - 238B Street (Dewdney Trunk Rd. to 290m north) - Drainage $45,293.00 Total DCC Payback Amount: $168,706.00 -1- . J0;L The above amounts are derived from the Development Cost Charge Bylaw project costs which represent the cost of construction and are the maximum amounts per service item that will be considered for payment. b) Policy Implications: Division (10) of Part 26 of the Municipal Act, the Development Costs Recovery Section, provides in clause (8) of Section 933, provision for deduction of DCC's payable by an owner at the time of subdivision. Authorization of development cost charge reduction or payback for eligible s id g components identified in the Long Term Capital Program is consistent with mun pal pActice for addressing this issue.

Comments on the draft were due April 25, 2000. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Council support the Fraser River Port Authority Land Use Plan, and send a letter of support encouraging on-going consultation between the Port Authority and their neighbours; and THAT the Ridge Meadows Airport Authority be notified of the Plans long term implication for airport lands. BACKGROUND: The Fraser River Port Authority (FRPA) is the reconstituted Fraser River Harbour Commission and is responsible for administering the Fraser River port. This area extends from the Straight of Georgia to Kanaka Creek along the main stem of the Fraser River, and includes the Pitt River up to Pitt Lake (see attached map). The FRPA is responsible for port operations, navigation, and for regulating river use. The focus of the Plan is on the river and the upland properties directly administered by the FRPA. The plan does not focus on the management or development of those upland sites which are owned privately or owned by governments. The Plan was created with consultants meeting all stakeholders, including nine Municipalities, and holding 5 consultation meetings and an Open House to review progress on addressing issues raised. The Plan recognized current land and water uses, and acknowledged the Fraser River Estuary Management Plan (FREMP) environmental sensitivities of the river, and recognized Municipal plans. The Plan does, however, recognize the on-going need to improve coordination between overlapping jurisdictions. -1- The Plan reviewed future economic and market forces and analysed options to handle the expected increase in shipping traffic volumes. It concludes there are sufficient lands and shoreline available in the existing port land inventory to accommodate expected growth to the year 2020 and perhaps beyon&. For the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows area, the Plan concludes: • there will be continued demand for the foreseeable future for log storage water lots; • the proposed iwater use designations are generally appropriate along the shoreline but will require more site specific review to ensure compatibility with anticipated Municipal and FREMP shoreline interests; and • the Pitt Meadows airport area was recognized as a potential longer term location for deep sea berthing as the river depth and shoreline character lends itself to such use: However, it was noted that the Patullo Railway Bridge needs to be replaced before shipping can access that part of the river. Consequently the shoreline designation adjacent he airport was noted as "undetermined". The implications for the Municipality include: • we can expect on-going occupation of our shorelines for log storage and the attendant consequences that it brings; • there will be a need for detailed review of the use designations of the Port Authority, The Fraser River Estuary Management Plan shoreline sensitivity and use designations, and the Municipal Official Community Plan designations to ensure that overlapping jurisdictional issues are addressed and that the use designations are compatible. This is best accomplished as a task during the next OCP review; • finally, the airport authority should be apprised for their consideration of the long term possibilities identified in the Plan for deep sea access to the airport lands. CONCLUSION: The Fraser River Port Authority has undertaken a modest, consultative plan that recognizes the importance of coordinating with the various stakeholders in the river as they prepare for the future. The FRPA is a significant facilitator of economic activity and should be supported in their efforts. It is recommended that Council support the Fraser River Port Authority Land Use Plan and encourage on-going consultation with their neighbours. The Draft Land Use Plan is available in the Planning Department for viewing. 'The economic conthbution of the FRPA is significant. In 1999, 25.5 million tonnes of various types of cargo passed through the Port, and there were 564 deep sea ship arrivals. The economic impact on Canada's Gross Domestic Product of the goods is expected to be over $1.5 billion. -2- J. BastaJ,4'Director Strategi/irojects IL W.

The British Columbia Emergency Response Management System (BCERMS) identifies the standard approach to Emergency Response Management to be utilized and practiced by provincial government ministries, agencies and crown corporations. The BC Government is encouraging federal government agencies, local governments, first nations and the private sector to endorse and use the BC Incident Command System outlined by the BCERMS. The life saving forces within the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows area (police - fire - ambulance - S&R) are already operating under this system. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the system (BCERMS) be adopted as the system of operation within the joint emergency operations centre (Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows). BACKGROUND: The joint EOC at present operates along municipal departmental lines. The new system (BCERMS) would ensure uniformity with the operations being conducted on the site (of the emergency). It would also ensure uniformity when it became necessaiy to request provincial assistance through the Provincial Emergency Program. Also, if it becomes necessary to request staff assistance from adjoining municipalities or provincial resources, it would ensure that such assistance could be readily absorbed. Should the BCERMS system be adopted, the operations centre would be organized under five main sections. Director and Staff— Operations - Planning - Logistics - Finance/Administration. A diagram outlining the five main sections within the Emergency Operations Centre is attached. Detailed instructions defining the lead agency on site in the event of specific disasters (i.e. train, aircraft, earthquake, floods, and dangerous goods) are contained within both the joint emergency manual and the executive summary. If it is decided to adopt the BCERMS for operations within the joint EOC a strong commitment will be required from designated staff to ensure adequate training both at the Municipal and Provincial level. an Murray, E ency Services Coordinator 9 'lIike Davies, Director of Parks & Facilities Robertson, AJ(P, MCIP, Chief Administrative Officer - 1 - 1; Fully Activated EOC Organization BC Emergency Response Management System Draft 990216 Policy Group Incident Commander(s) EOC Dlreor (Single or Unified) I EOC Coordinator I Safety I Public Information I Operations I I Planning Logistics Fianance/ Coordinator Administration -2- CORPORATION OF THE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A.

The Heritage Advisory Committee is to revisit this issue. Reference was made to the Committee's January meeting recommending that the owner include Hill House in the Register, however, he did not volunteer to do it. Since registration of Hill House has been discussed with the proponent, but not rejected, the Committee suggested recommending to Council that Hill House be added to the Register. RECOMMENDATION > That a Staff Report be forwarded to Council recommending that Jayman Master Builders have Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register. CARRIED CORPORATION OF TILE DISTRICT OF MAPLE RIDGE TO: His Worship Mayor A. Hogarth DATE: May 8, 2000 and Members of Council FILE NO: R7J29198 CC: Jake Rudolph, GM, PW&DS Gay McMillan, Planning Technician FROM: Heritage Advisory Committee SUBJECT: Hill House COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION That Council require Jayman Master Builders to have Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register. BACKGROUND On March 28, 2000, Council directed the Planning Department to prepare a report identifying the mechanisms available to municipal governments regarding heritage preservation. DISCUSSION Pursuant with this direction, staff referred the request to the Heritage Advisory Committee. On April 20, 2000 the Heritage Advisory Committee discussed the range of heritage preservation tools provided for in the Municipal Act. Specifically, the Committee discussed three mechanisms: the Inventory; the Community Heritage Register, and Designation. The following section of this report provides a brief overview of these tools: Inventory The District of Maple Ridge Heritage Inventory, entitled Heritage Resources of Maple Ridge identifies the most significant heritage resources within the District. The inventory is not considered to be an "official" heritage list and does not provide for formal protection of a heritage property. The Hill House is currently identified in the Heritage Inventory. Community Heritage Register A Community Heritage Register is an official list of heritage properties in a community. In most cases there are no restrictions placed on altering the interior of registered buildings, however inclusion in the Register does provide Council with the authority to temporarily withhold the issuance of a demolition or building permit. Such a delay is intended to give Council time to review the issue and negotiate with the owner. Designation: The Municipal Act also provides for the designation of a heritage property. The designation of a property is done by municipal bylaw and is considered to be the ultimate in heritage protection. Properties designated as a heritage property are required to obtain a heritage alteration permit for exterior renovations, alterations, and demolitions. Exterior work to designated properties cannot commence without Council approval, and Council has the authority to permanently withhold approvals. The following chart provides a comparison of the range of the above noted heritage preservation tools: Comparison of Heritage Preservation Tools Inventory Register Designation Results in permanent legal protection?

The memo included a recommendation amongst others that the owner of the development be required to have the Hill House included in the Community Heritage Register. During the April 20, 2000 meeting, the Committee gave this matter further consideration and re-affirmed its earlier recommendation. It is the Committee's belief that inclusion of Hill House in the Community Heritage Register will provide some protection to the building, and at the same time is not likely to be viewed as a hindrance to a future owner.

We anticipate that in the next few months, the design stage will be complete. It is now time to look towards the other key components of the new Arts Centre. Two major areas have been identified: fund raising and the operating model. As you are aware, the fundraising committee is being struck and Bonnie Telep has agreed to chair this committee. Although a number of design and financial issues are still outstanding, we believe it is very important to look at the governance/operating model now. The operating model ties in with both the design elements and fundraising. At this time, we would like to request a formal acknowledgement of the Arts Council's role in the future operating model of the Arts Centre. The Business Plan for the Arts Centre recognizes that for the past 29 years the Ridge Meadows Arts Council has had a leadership role in the community, particularly in the past twelve years through the Fee for Service Agreement with the Ridge Meadows Parks & Leisure Services Commission. The Business Plan contemplates the Arts Centre will be operated by a non-profit society with community representation. The option of the Ridge Meadows Arts Council being that non- profit society is presented in the Business Plan. Please be advised that the Ridge Meadows Arts Council is now willing to expand its mandate to include the operation of the Arts Centre. We realize that it is too early to enter into a formal Fee for Service Contract for the operation of the centre, but request that Letter of Intention or an Agreement be I Ax , Mayor and Council April 20, 2000 Page 2 drawn up which would formalize the Arts Council's role in operating the Arts Centre. This agreement would recognize that the Ridge Meadows Arts Council would be entering into a management agreement with the Municipality to operate the Arts Centre. This is particularly important now as the Arts Council has set up a Charitable Trust Account through Revenue Canada in order to issue tax receipts for donations. The Arts Council is positioned to work with the fund raising committee to hold $1 Million in our account and the public needs to be confident that the money collected will indeed be used for the Arts Centre. The Arts Council also needs to feel confident that if they proceed to do the work, they will be partnering with the Municipality to operate the Arts Centre. A Letter of Intent would go a long way to satisfying these needs. We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Canada V5H 4G8 Telephone (604) 432-6375 Xts Coinittee Meeting Date: May 10, 2000 TO: Planning and Environment Committee FROM: Ken Cameron Manager, Policy and Planning DATE: April 17, 2000 RE: Implementation of the FCM/GVRD Proposal for a Federal Role in Funding Sustainable Urban Transportation Recom,nendation: That the Board request delegates from GVRD member municipalities to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities 2000 convention to support a concerted effort to gain approval for the GVRDIFCM proposal for a federal role in funding sustainable urban transportation this year, and to participate in the convention session to discuss this proposal. PURPOSE To outline the basis for a concerted effort to mobilize local government in Canada's urban regions to seek approval for a role for the federal government in funding sustainable urban transportation programs as part of Canada's effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. CONTEXT Canada is the only 07 country without a role for the national government in funding urban transportation. In addition to the fact that there is a clear relationship between efficient and effective urban transportation on federal policy interests in air quality, economic efficiency and competitiveness, the importance of the transportation sector in reaching Canada's greenhouse gas reduction target has established this as an important national priority. To meet the Kyoto target or, even a modified target, Canadians must burn less fuel. As a significant financial beneficiary of fuel consumption through federal fuel taxation, the federal government has an opportunity and a responsibility to support programs in urban regions where there is an opportunity to reduce fuel consumption through the provision of more efficient land use patterns and transportation systems. q If 0 'J Implementation of the M/GVRD Proposal for a FedeTal Role in Funding Sustainable Urban Transportation Page 2 of 4 Planning & Environment committee Meeting. May 10. 2000 In 1998, building on the principles established in the formation of the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority, the GVRD Board prepared and approved a proposal for a federal role in funding sustainable urban transportation programs (see summary in Attachment 1). The proposal acknowledged arrangements recently implemented in the Montreal region, which provide for an additional increment of fuel tax plus a vehicle charge to support transit in that region. In December 1998, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors endorsed the GVRD's proposal and the British Columbia Minister of Finance indicated support. In 1999, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, the Greater Toronto Services Board and the City of Victoria embraced the FCM's proposal. The Province of Alberta agreed to provide dedicated funding from fuel taxation for Calgary and Edmonton's urban transportation programs and made financially equivalent arrangements for the province's smaller cities and rural areas. Alberta has prepaid its financial contributions to Calgary and Edmonton for the next three years. On July 30, 1999, based on feedback from consultations between lona Campagnolo, Chair of the Fraser Basin Council and federal ministers, the GVRD Board reviewed progress on this matter and modified its proposal in the form of the following motion: That the Board: Confirm that urban transportation must be included as a major element in any new federal program offinancial assistance for transportation and this element must be broadly consistent with the GVRD's proposal entitled A New Approach to Funding Urban Transportation in Canada and the complementary positions of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Urban Transportation Council of the Transportation Association of Canada, the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton and the Greater Toronto Services Board, and spec (fically that such program: • Support the development and implementation of comprehensive urban transportation strategies that support sustainable Land use and address roads, transit, non-motorized modes and transportation demand management; • Be ongoing and available to support both operating and capital requirements; and • Embody some relationship between where federal transportation revenues are collected and where the program 'sfunds are spent; and Authorize the Chair to propose to arrange a meeting, through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, of senior elected representatives of Canada's major urban regions with appropriate federal ministers to urge approval of a program offederal support for sustainable urban transportation that will respond to the needs of the urban regions and contribute significantly to the attainment of Canada's Kyoto greenhouse gas reduction commitments. In late 1999, the Transportation Table of the National Climate Change Consultation released its report. Due to the influence of economic interests closely tied to automobile use and fuel - consUmption, the Table was unábTe to agree to include fuel taxation as a promising measure V Implementation of the RM/GVRD Proposal for a Fedemi Role in Funding Sustainable Urban Transportation Page 3 of 4 Planning & Environment committee Meeting - May 10. 2000 and, partly as a consequence, the Table could not identify promising initiatives that would combine to achieve the transportation sector's "share" of the reduction target. The implications of this failure for sustainable urban transportation are outlined in the letter from the Transportation Association of Canada's Urban Transportation Council (Attachment 2). With the next international climate change summit looming in November, 2000, concern i 6 ,-41 growing that Canada may be unable to report progress on securing agreement within the country to its target, let alone the means of achieving it. IF- On March 2, 2000 the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Standing Committee on National Transportation and Communications received a presentation on this matter and' adopted the following motion, which was approved* by the FCM Board on March 4: That the FCM Board of Directors approve the recommendation of the Standing Committee ) on National Transportation and Communications that the FCM pursue, within the context of t' the FCM's 2000 Policy Statement on National Transportation, the following four-point proposal for funding sustainable transportation: That there be ongoing ftderal funding equivalent to $.0317itre nationwide, from existing or new revenue sources, with a preference for using the existing sources; That the federal funding be matched by provinces, from existing or new revenue sources, with a prefe rence for using the existing sources; That the funding be available in urban regions for any expenditure to prepare and implement a regional plan for sustainable urban transportation, in rough proportion to fuel tax generated in each region; and That equivalent funding be nzade available in non-urban areas on a basis to be worked out between three levels of government; and That the FCM bring forward this proposal during discussion of the new infrastructure program this year. * Wording of the motion is subject to approval of the minutes by the FCM Board at its next meeting. The FCM's annual conference in June 2000 in London, Ontario offers an opportunity to refine and build support for this proposal so that it can be brought forward to the federal government later this year. GVRD and FCM staff are preparing a more detailed discussion paper, based upon the FCM Board's motion, for discussion at a convention session that will bring together representatives from urban regions across the country, with a view to having a broadly-supported proposal to present to the federal government later this year. 3. ALTERNATIVES It is likely that some funding for urban transportation will become available through the five- year infrastructure program that is to be developed in 2000-2001 for implementation in 2001- 2006. This funding is time-limited, focused on infrastructure and includes water, sewer and other priorities that would reduce its effectiveness in responding to the greenhouse gas reduction challenge. An ongoing program reflecting the specific and ongoing nature of the challenge and the federal responsibilities in this field would be greatly preferable. 023 implementation of the PCNUGVRD Proposal for a Federal Role in Funding Sustainable Urban Transponation Page 4 of 4 Planning & Environment committee Mtjng. May 10 4. CONCLUSION The timing is appropriate to seek approval for the proposals from the FCM, the GVRD and other urban regions for a federal role in funding sustainable urban transportation. Approval of such a role will contribute to the economic competitiveness and efficiency of Canadian cities and to the attainment of Canada's greenhouse gas reduction responsibilities. Attäthments: Backgrounder, A New Approach to Funding Urban Transportation in Canada, October 1999. Letter to Mr. Ron Sully, Assistant Deputy Minister, Programs & Divestiture Group, Transport Canada, from Ken Cameron, Chair, Urban Transportation Council, dated March 9. 2000 regarding "Transportation and Climate Change: Options for Action". 04,214 March 9, 2000 Mr. Ron Sully Mr. Ken Ogilvie Assistant Deputy Minister Executive Director Programs & Divestiture Group Pollution Probe Transport Canada 12 Madison Avenue Place de Ville, Tower 'C' Toronto, ON M5R 2S1 330 Sparks Street, 19 Floor Fax: (416) 926-1601 Ottawa, ON K1AON5 Fax: (613)998-5008 Gentlemen; The Urban Transportation Council of the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) is submitting this letter to convey its observations and concerns with respect to the report of the Transportation Table entitled Transportation and Climate Change: Options for ActlonN (Options Paper). From an urban perspective, many of the issues and measures outlined in the Options Paper are closely related to those documented by the Council, and therefore the Council has been keenly interested in the development of the report as well as the ongoing process. The intent of this letter is not to criticize the report, but rather to assist in moving the agenda forward on this critical matter. In fact, the Council recognizes the Transportation Table's considerable effort in dealing with this very complex subject, especially given the constraints imposed by the process as well as the diverse stakeholder interests and lack of current knowledge and data about many aspects of this subject. Urban Transportation Council The Urban Transportation Council provides Canada's only continuing national forum in which public and private sector representatives can address urban transportation issues and assist stakeholders to work together cooperatively toward resolution. Attached is a list of members of the Council. The Council carries out its role through a combination of publications (called Briefings), research, and public speaking engagements normally at seminars and conferences. These activities are intended to educate and encourage debate r.onceming key transportation related issues that affect the sustainability of Canada's urban areas. The foundation of these activities is the Council's New Vision for Urban Transportation first published in 1993 and widely endorsed throughout Canada. In fact, the primary goal of the Council is to work toward the achievement of this Vision. The Urban Transportation Vision identifies key strategies to help modify cities so that they will be more efficient, desirable to live in and socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. In summary this Vision calls for: • more compact, mixed use urban form to reduce the need for long motorized trips and to enhance travel options, • less dependence on single occupant automobiles through more choice and opportunity for walking, transit, cycling and high occupancy vehicles, and new financing methods, based on the user pay principle, with revenues dedicated to transportation system improvements. - ftanspovtatlon Auoclatkn of Canada Association dis transports du Canada 2323 St Laurit &id.

Tflicopieur (613) 736-1395 Subsec'jjent to the publication of the new vision, the Council produced two additional Briefings to expand on two key elements of the Vision: financing and land use. Financing Urban Transportation was published in February 1997 and Achieving ljveab!e Cities was published in November 1998. There are a number of common themes among all three publications that are particularly relevant to the Climate Change issue, as follows: • changing current trends will be a long-term and formidable task primarily because of existing growth patterns, development approval processes, public attitudes and behaviour, and existing economic and financing practices; • an integrated approach that blends various measures is essential to effect change, particularly with respect to the relationship between transportation and land use; • cooperation among all government levels is critical to effect change; • a quantum shift in individual and collective attitudes and behaviour will be required to move toward sustainability goals; • pricing of transportation services is a key lever with respect to consumer choice and has an influence on financing the implementation and operation of transport systems. Comments Regarding the Options Paper Many of the measures outlined in the Options Paper are particularly relevant to urban areas and, in fact, are similar to proposals contained in the Council Briefings. This, of course, is not surprising given the predominance of GHG's produced by transportation in urban areas. However, the Council has a number of concerns with the work carried out by the Transportation Table as it relates to urban transportation issues. Some of these concerns have been directly or indirectly addressed in the Options Paper, and attributed in the paper to constraints imposed by the terms of reference, the process itself and other limitations. Nevertheless, the Council believes that it is important to underscore these concerns. What reinforces these concerns is that only 42 of the targeted 54 megatonne reduction (in CO2 equivalents) by the year 2010 could be accommodated through the "Most Promising" and "Promising Measures". Furthermore, there are significant questions in the Options Paper itself about the full achievement of the measures, particularly those listed as "Promising". As noted above, the Council has recognized that the kind and scale of change required to achieve a more sustainable urban form can only take place over the long-term. Fundamental to this are changes required in the attitudes and behaviour of individuals. The challenge is to create incentives for change and to ensure that day-to-day incremental decisions, particularly by governments, are increasingly consistent with long-term objectives. This, in turn, requires an alliance among all levels of government and the private sector. Because the cause and effect of Climate Change are seamless, there is a unique opportunity for convergence among all governments, their institutions and the private sector to find solutions. In this context, the following are the major concerns of the Council: 1. Early Action is needed on initiatives which have longer terms GHG impacts. This relates to the limited timeframe given for the consideration of measures. The requirement to meet targets by the 2008-2012 period (and even consideration of impacts by 2020) has virtually precluded a number of opportunities related to vehicle technology and land use change. Furthermore, the decision to disallow consideration of the land use/transportation relationship by the Transportation Table restricts the outcome of the analysis. The integration of a number of measures at the urban level is of paramount importance to effecting change, particularly with respect to influencing individual attitudes and behaviour. Because of the virtual exclusion of both vehicle technology..andJanduse,Jhe.CounciUs.concemedihaLtheirJmportance.wiHnOLbe 2 recognized sufficiently in the shorter term thereby delaying or even totally ignoring their longer term potential. New urban transportation funding sources are essential at the municipal level. This relates to the question of adequate and timely funding particularly to increase the supply of alternative modes (transit, cycling, walking) at the urban level. It would be totally impractical to discourage the use of private vehicles without at the same time providing sufficient capacity and amenities to accommodate the modal shift onto alternative modes. Although the federal government has provided funding for the Climate Change process, most, if not all, of the responsibility for implementation of the proposed measures would reside with the provincial and municipal governments. Given the limited property tax base available to municipalities, additional revenue sources would be required to accommodate a proactive program. To date, there has been no indication of the source of funds for the proposed measures. As noted below, increased user fees for the use of roads by private vehicles could provide significant revenues in this regard. Transportation user fees are a key policy lever. As noted above, the pricing of Transportation services is a key lever with respect to choice of modes. However, there are limited measures proposed in the Options Paper that relate to pricing. Although increasing the price for parking should have some influence on the choice of travel mode, there continue to be significant questioné about whether the employee would actually pay as well as the administrative complications and costs associated with this measure. Increasing fuel taxes would be the most straightforward method of instituting a pricing mechanism that is compatible with Climate Change objectives and it is unfortunate that the Transportation Table was not able to achieve consensus on this matter. The Council does recognize that this is not a simple issue and there are significant economic ramifications related to gas tax increases. The composition of the Transportation Table itself deterred a resolution of this matter; on the other hand, the stakeholder biases on the Table are probably reflective of the divergent views that permeate thesectors of our economy and society at large. The concern of the Council, however, is that the proposition for full cost accounting for the use of private vehicles not be ignored, and that serious consideration be given to an incremental long-term approach of increasing user charges for the use of the roads. This has the critically important advantage of encouraging more efficient use of transportation facilities while also providing funding for complementary measures, as referenced above. Incorporate Implementation requirements as part of policy and programme formulation. This concern relates to the governance structure for implementation. Too often, complex government programs are mismanaged or ineffective because insufficient attention was given at an early stage to implementation issues. It is essential to assign responsibilities to the jurisdictions and organizations that are best able to get the job done in the most effective and efficient manner. As noted previously, it is paramount that, at a municipal level, an integrated approach be employed especially with respect to the planning, financing and delivery of measures aimed at reducing GHG emissions. ContInuing and comprehensive public information programs are required. The last major concern of the Council is that the entire Climate Change issue may not be given sufficient priority by senior governments because the public at large are not sufficiently cognisant of the issue and the consequences of inaction. In the council's view, there is a critical need for a public information/education outreach program to sensitize the public to the need for change in attitudes and behaviour. This would also assist greatly in laying the foundation for potential government incentives and disincentives and their successful deployment. The Council suggests IN 027 3 that this program not be a lop-down" campaign by senior governments, but be structured on a collaborative basis, sponsored by a variety of public and private organizations in order to maximize market penetration.

Transportation is the largest single sector, producing 26% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. Meeting the 6% target would require transportation emission reductions of 38% as compared to a "business as usual" scenario. Unless a concerted effort is made to alter the use of personal vehicles, that target is simply unattainable. A litre of fuel burned anywhere in Canada has the same harmful effect on climate change, but it is in the urban areas where much of Canada's fuel use is concentrated and where it is possible to develop practical strategies to reduce fuel consumption through the promotion of walking, cycling and transit as well as land use patterns that reduce the need for vehicle travel. Urban areas are also where a significant proportion of Canada's $4 billion in federal fuel excise taxes are paid. A New Approach In A New Approach to Funding Urban Transportation in Canada, the Greater Vancouver Regional District has set out the case for a federal role in sustainable urban transportation through funding equivalent to a $.03 per litre increase in excise taxes (or equivalent allocation of existing taxes) to support sustainable urban transportation programs. This funding would be available in any province where a similar allocation of provincial fuel taxes has been implemented to support sustainable urban transportation programs. For eligibility, the urban area must demonstrate that it has in place a governance or cooperative institutional arrangement capable of planning and implementing urban transportation on an integrated basis for the entire urban area, with appropriate influences on land use planning and development. Support for the Approach Urban regions that would be eligible as a result of provincial supportive actions include Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Urban regions where local governments have formally supported this or a similar approach include the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Wentworth and Ottawa-Carleton regions. The Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Caucus of Big City Mayors have endorsed the Greater Vancouver proposal and it is consistent with the Transportation Association of Canada's New Vision for Urban Transportation. t 2 Next Steps In July, 1999, the Greater Vancouver Regional District Board of Directors confirmed its support for the proposed approach and for the position that urban transportation must be a major element of any new program of federal assistance for transportation. The Board specified that such a program: • Support comprehensive transportation strategies that support sustainable land use and address roads, transit, non-motorized modes and transportation demand management; • Be ongoinj and available to support both operating and capital requirements; and • Embody some relationship between where federal transportation revenues are collected and where the program's funds are spent. The Board authorized Chair George Puil to work with senior elected representatives of Canada's major urban regions through the Federation of Canadian Municipalities to urge federal ministers to approve a program of federal support to meet the needs of Canadian urban regions and contribute to attainment of Canada's Kyoto commitment.
