MAPLE RIDGE ················-······· mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: FROM: SUBJECT: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer Non-Farm Use Application Non-Adhering Residential Use Application 25975 116 Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MEETING DATE: FILE NO: MEETING: June 2, 2020 2019-188-AL cow Two applications have been received for the subject property, located at 25975 116 Avenue: one for Non-Farm Use and one for a Non-Adhering Residential Use. The Non-Farm Use Application (Application 58709) is for the fill brought onto the property for the driveway access to the proposed agricultural buildings. The Non-Adhering Residential Use Application (Application 60227) is to retain an existing Single Family Dwelling for Accessory Farm Help. Although the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) requires two separate applications as the uses are governed under two different sections under the Agricultural Land Commission Act, the City and the ALC can review the applications together under one report as long as both applications are linked. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Application 2019-188-AL, respecting property located at 25975 116 Avenue, be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission for consideration.

Both ALC applications are djscussed in detail below. City staff first visited the property in November 2018, in response to a complaint regarding the un-authorized storage of vehicles on the property. The applicant stated that the vehicles were stored there temporarily until an appropriately zoned property for that use was available. Upon subsequent inspection of the property, the vehicles were removed and the applicant had brought in trees for a potted tree nursery, along with fill that had been brought onto the property without a permit (see Appendix C). Some of the fill is considered prohibited under the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) Use Regulations, as it contains some concrete materials and asphalt grindings. The applicant states that the fill is to prepare for the driveway access to the new proposed agricultural buildings which will store farming equipment and materials (see Appendix D). The · applicant has since obtained Farm Status for the potted tree nursery. c) PlanningAnalysis: Non-Farm Use Application for Fill {ALC Application 58709): The Non-Farm Use Application is for the placement of fill to accommodate the extension of the driveway access to the two proposed agricultural buildings. The buildings are proposed to be used for storage of farming equipment and materials. Under the Soil Deposition Bylaw, concrete and asphalt grindings are defined as "other materials" and a permit could be issued by the City if the ALC accepts the material. The owner has been advised that the asphalt will likely need to be removed as it will likely be considered a prohibited fill material by the ALC. Non-Adhering Residential Use Application {ALC Application 60227): The subject property is zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and is 2.4 ha (5.9 acres) in area. The owner is proposing to use a second dwelling on this property as a Temporary Residential Use and later, as an Accessory Employee Residential Use. Originally, the owner constructed a new single family dwelling with a Temporary Second Dwelling Agreement to live in the existing home until the new home was constructed (see Appendix E). The owner deposited a $10,000.00 security and agreed to render the existing home non-inhabitable by converting the building to an accessory structure as long as it can conform with the Zoning Bylaw requirements for that use. The applicant is now proposing to use the home as a Temporary Residential Use and later as an Accessory Employee Residential Use. A Temporary Residential Use is permitted in the Zoning Bylaw and by the Agricultural Land Commission, if the use is either within the same building as the One Family Residential Use, or if it is 2019-188-AL Page 2 of 5
within a CSA Z240 certified mobile home. The ALC does not allow a pre-existing residential structure to be used as a second dwelling for family. If this application complied with ALC policies and the Building Permit was approved prior to the end of 2020, an application for Non-Farm Use would not be required in order for the proposal to proceed. However, this application deviates from the Zoning Bylaw requirements and ALC policies due to the structure type (a single family home versus a manufactured home). The Zoning Bylaw also does not support the existing two-storey structure as a Temporary Residential Use as it is not a temporary structure. The main reason why manufactured homes are preferred for this purpose is that they may be removed more readily when they are no longer required for their immediate purpose. Should the owner wish to have a Temporary Residential Use, they can do so through a self-contained mobile home, or by creating the use within the newer home constructed on the property. An Accessory Employee Residential Use is permitted within the RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone, if the lot is larger than 2 ha (5 acres) and if the property has Farm Status. The subject property is larger than 2 ha (5 acres) and the owner has achieved Farm Status. The Zoning Bylaw also states that an Accessory Employee Residential Use: (a) shall not exceed a lot coverage of 10% or 279 m2 whichever is the lesser; (b) shall not exceed a height of 7.5 metres; (c) shall not be sited less than: (i) 7.5 metres from front and rear lot lines; (ii) 1.5 metres from an interior side lot line but with the sum of the two interior side lot line setbacks to be not less than 3.5 metres; (iii) 3.0 metres from an exterior side lot line; (iv) 3.0 metres from a building used for a one family residential use. The siting, lot coverage, and height of the existing home comply with the Accessory Employee Residential Use regulations. ALC Information Bulletin 05 -Residences in the ALR, states that generally, land in the ALR may have no more than one residence per parcel, but the ALC may allow more than one residence if necessary for farm use. Non-adhering residential uses should be commensurate with the type and scale agriculture taking place on the property. Some intensive agricultural activities and livestock require on-site farm help either seasonally or year round. The ALC has consistently considered residential uses based on: • current level of agriculture on the property (e.g. intensive agricultural operations) • number of people involved in agriculture on the property (i.e. most or all of the people in the residences are involved with agriculture on the property) • minimizing the loss of arable land (i.e. size and siting of residence) Should the ALC determine that the Accessory Employee Residential Use is warranted, they may impose conditions to the use. The City will also require a restrictive covenant registered with the Land Title Office, restricting the dwelling to an Accessory Employee Residential Use. d) Interdepartmental Implications Building Department: Should the ALC approve the Non-Adhering Residential Use application for the Accessory Employee Residential Use, a Building Permit would be required to convert the existing home to an Accessory 2019-188-AL Page 3 of 5
Employee Residential Use. A restrictive covenant would be required to restrict the use to an Accessory Employee Residential Use. The Building Department will not approve the second single family home for a Temporary Residential Use and the applicant has been advised of this. A text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw would be required to allow a Temporary Residential Use. Engineering Department: Road widening of approximately 1.0m would be required along the property frontage along 116 Avenue. A cash in lieu contribution could be considered in lieu of construction. A new access culvert was installed in 2014. This was contingent on the existing culvert being removed and the ditch re-instated. The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw only allows one access per property. The access culvert has not been removed and there are still securities being held for the access removal. The Engineering Department will not support a new Building Permit until the deficiencies from the old permit are rectified. The property is outside the Urban Containment Area and is served by a septic field. Should the second dwelling be permitted, septic capacity will need to be confirmed by a qualified engineer. There is an existing 50mm water service connection. If the proposed agricultural buildings require water, the owner's engineer will need to determine if the existing connection size is adequate. Storm drainage is to be handled on site. An on-site source control facility will need to be constructed to effectively deal with the Three Tier Stormwater Management criteria outlined in the Design Criteria Manual within the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw. Environment Section: Any Soil Deposit Violations on this property will need to be remediated once the ALC makes a decision on the fill. It appears that trees may need to be removed for the proposed agricultural buildings. A Farm Plan or Farm Status is required by the City to clear land in ALR. A Tree Permit will be required for any tree removals at the Building Permit stage. Fire Department: The Fire Department has indicated that addressing will need to be clarified should the ALC approve the Accessory Employee Residential Use and the second dwelling is permitted to remain. e) Alternatives: As with all applications to the ALC, Council has the option of denying this application from proceeding further, in which case it is effectively denied. If this application is denied from proceeding, the secondary residence would have to be either removed, demolished or re-purposed as an Accessory Residential Structure. If the structure is to be re-purposed as an Accessory Residential Structure, it will need to comply with the Zoning Bylaw regulations around that use, through renovation or through a Development Variance Permit. As the owner has made the Non-Farm Use Application to retroactively legitimize the fill material that was previously placed without the benefit of a Soil Permit, it is recommended that the application be permitted to go forward to the ALC for the fill component of this application. Should the application not proceed to the ALC, the existing soil deposited without. a permit will need to be removed. 2019-188-AL Page 4 of 5
CONCLUSION: This application is for a Non-Adhering Residential Use for an existing single family dwelling to be used as an Accessory Employee Residential Use. A Non-Farm Use application is also required for fill that was previously brought onto the property to access two proposed agricultural buildings. It is recommended to forward this application to the ALC for their consideration.

MAPLE RIDGE --------British Columbia mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: FROM: SUBJECT: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7589-2019; 22580 Hinch Crescent EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020 FILE NO: 2019-309-RZ MEETING: C o W An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 22580 Hinch Crescent, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-2 (Urban Residential District), to permit a future subdivision of two lots. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program, where a voluntary contribution of $5,100.00 will be requested for one additional lot, as the original lot is exempt. The Official Community Plan designation for the subject property is Single-Family Residential, as described within the Town Centre Area Plan which requires that properties less than 371 m2 have access via a rear lane only. The applicant is proposing a subdivision into two lots of approximately 334 m2 each, with access from the street, as there is no ability to accommodate a lane. Council has directed staff to work on the Town Centre Visioning process, where these policies will be reviewed and potentially updated. For the subject property to be rezoned, a site specific text amendment would allow development without amending Town Centre Area Plan policies beforehand. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7589-2019 be given first reading; and 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule A and B of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: 2019-309-RZ New Radiant Homes Lot 259, Section 20, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan 42134 1102 Page 1 of 5

Hinch Crescent is a looped local road, connected by 122 Avenue to 227 Street. The subject property is flat, and contains a single family dwelling that will be demolished. c) Project Description: The current application is proposing to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-2 (Urban Residential District) to permit future subdivision into two single family lots of approximately 334 m2 (3595 ft2) each (See Appendices A and B). At this time, the current applica~ion has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and further reports will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may affect proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. 2019-309-RZ Page 2 of 5
d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Town Centre Area Plan and is currently designated Single-Family Residential. The Single Family Residential designation of the Town Centre Area Plan is intended to provide options for increasing density and choice of housing form, while retaining the single family character in established neighbourhoods in the Town Centre. As such, a variety of smaller, single-family lot sizes are supportable in this area. Proposed Addition to Town Centre Zoning Matrix: . When the R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone was adopted in February, 2012, it was not included in the Zoning Matrix in the Town Centre Area Plan that had been adopted in 2008. As this zone is appropriate for the Single-Family designation within the Town Centre Area Plan, it is proposed that the R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone be added to the Zoning Matrix. Proposed Site Specific Text Amendment: Town Centre Area Plan Policy 3-17 requires that smaller single-family lot sizes, between 213m2 and 370m2, provide vehicle driveway access from a rear lane only. This driveway access requirement applies to the R-3, R-2 and R-1/CD-1-93 single-family zones. A site specific text amendment is proposed to remove the rear lane access requirement and allow driveway access from the street which would facilitate smaller lot sizes than currently permitted. The OCP currently requires lots to be over 370m2 size and the proposed OCP amendment would allow 334 m2 sized lots. It should be noted that the majority of R-2 zoned lots that have been created outside of the Town Centre Area have driveway access from the street, which is permitted under the existing R-2 zone regulations. As such, the proposed site specific text amendment for the subject property is supportable. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 22580 Hinch Crescent from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-2 (Urban Residential District) (see Appendix C) to permit future subdivision into two sigle family lots (see Appendix D). The minimum lot size for the proposed zone is 315 m2, where the proposed two lots are approximately 334 m2 each. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Information Meeting: Due to initially raised concerns from neighbours, the applicant facilitated an early voluntary Development Information Meeting (DIM) which was advertised following the standard newspaper and neighbourhood notification requirements under the City's DIM policy. On February 15, 2020, the DIM meeting was held at the subject location. Six people signed the sign-in sheet and two neighbours submitted written responses. The biggest concerns discussed were dwelling heights, and the designs fitting into the neighbourhood. Furthermore, drainage is a concern in this neighbourhood. The applicant requested the architect to design the new houses to fit the neighbourhood, with building heights similar to the existing, and their project engineer to provide relief to the existing drainage problem. As background information, the neighbours were informed that the present owner would move into one of the new houses, and would not have a suite. Each house will have two off street parking spaces along with a double garage. Another Development Information Meeting (DIM) meeting will be held prior to second reading as required under the City DIM policy. 2019-309-RZ Page 3 of 5
e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; and e) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f) Development Applications: · In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and 2. A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. g) Alternative consideration: Council could additionally require the applicant to register a restrictive covenant, limiting the height of the future homes to two storeys or 8.0 metre, as a tool to ensure the neighbourhood fit with the existing streetscape. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is meeting the intent of the policies of the Town Centre Area Plan in the OCP, providing options for increasing density within the single family character zones. With justification to support an OCP site specific text amendment to allow the subject lots to have driveway access from the street and smaller lot sizes, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. 2019-309-RZ Page 4 of 5

TO: FROM: City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer MEETING DATE: June 2, 2020 FILE NO: 09-4560-20 MEETING: COW SUBJECT: Proposed New Cannabis Retail Store at 11696 224 Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On November 27, 2018, Council adopted Council policy 6.33 Cannabis Retail Store Processing and Evaluation Criteria. This policy determines how approvals for cannabis retail are to be processed at the municipal level. This policy was reviewed, updated and approved by Council on May 12, 2020. After the LCRB completed their integrity checks and security screenings they forwarded an application to the City on January 30, 2020 for a non medical retail cannabis store known as Green Dreamz to be located at 11696 224 Street. One of the considerations utilized by the LCRB in reviewing an application is a resolution from the local government. A number of regulatory criteria must be addressed in the Council resolution as well as comments pertaining to the views expressed by area residents. Council may choose to support the application, not support the application or indicate they do not wish to comment. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1. That the application for a non medical cannabis retail store by Green Dreamz Garage Inc. located at 11696 224 Street, Maple Ridge be approved based on the information contained in the staff report dated June 2, 2020; OR 2. That the application for a non medical cannabis retail store by Green Dreamz Garage Inc. located at 11696 224 Street, Maple Ridge be denied based on the information contained in the staff report dated June 2, 2020; and 3. That a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch in accordance with the legislative requirements. DISCUSSION: Doi:: a) Background Context: On November 27, 2018, Council adopted Council policy 6.33 Cannabis Retail Store Processing and Evaluation Criteria. The Policy determines how approvals for cannabis retail are to be processed at the municipal level. This Policy was amended on May 12, 2020 to reflect current updates. 1103 Page 1 of 3
After the LCRB completed their financial integrity checks and security screenings for Green Dreamz Garage Inc., they forwarded the application for a non medical retail cannabis store, known as Green Dreamz, to be located at 11696 224 Street to the City. The owner of Green Dreamz Garage Inc. also contacted city staff to provide a copy of their business plan as well information on their community relations (Appendix II). Staff reviewed this application to ensure that it met all requirements contained in the Policy including the Application Review Criteria (Section 10 of Council Policy 6.33). All the criteria have been fully satisfied except for Article A, which is the requirement for a 1000 meter separation from another cannabis retail store. The 1000 meter requirement still exists in the Zoning Bylaw but staff have been directed to remove this. The bylaw is currently being processed. A map of the surrounding area has been included in this report as Appendix I. The LCRB guidelines request a specific Council resolution commenting on the application in terms of community impacts which may occur as a result of the proposed retail cannabis store at this particular location. Part of the process requires Council to gather views of the residents who may be affected by the establishment of a cannabis retail store in their neighbourhood. In following the public input requirement, the City mailed 368 letters to owners and occupants of property within 200 metres of the subject site. Out of the 368 letters sent, 3 responses were received by the deadline, all opposed to the application. The Maple Ridge RCMP Detachment was asked for their input on this matter and they have confirmed they do not have any operational issues with this application. b) Intergovernmental Issues: Both local government and the provincial government have an interest in ensuring that cannabis regulations are followed and that licensed establishments listen to the needs of the community. c) Citizen/Customer Implications: The review of this application has taken into consideration the potential for concerns from surrounding properties in terms of parking, traffic and noise generation as well as the proximity of schools and similar establishments. d) Interdepartmental Implications: The Licences & Bylaws Department has coordinated in the review process and solicited input from the public, other municipal departments as well as the RCMP. e) Alternatives: Council could also choose to approve the application with conditions. Page 2 of 3
CONCLUSIONS: That Council make the necessary resolution regarding the application from Green Dreamz Garage Inc. based upon the staff findings set out in this report. Prepa~by.

GDG is a standalone business, equipped with a Security Plan that meets all requirements. No liquor, tobacco, snacks, or any other products besides cannabis and accessories will be sold in GDG Store. As a non-medical cannabis retailer, we are required to submit monthly reports to the LCRB through a web-based cannabis licensing portal. These reports on sales, inventory, and number of employees are due by the 10th of each month and are ultimately sent by the province to Health Canada to be updated in the federal Cannabis Tracking System. It is the responsibility of the CEO to ensure that this requirement is followed. Record Keeping: GDG is required to track and keep certain records for six years while the license is valid and for six months after a license expires or is cancelled. These records include, but are not limited to: cannabis wholesale purchases, cannabis retail sales (including quantity sold, price charged), when cannabis is disposed of (date, location, method of disposal, type, and amount of cannabis), accessory, and employee records (all employees must be registered with the Province). All Records will be kept in the storage area in a fireproof cabinet as per GDG Record Keeping Standard Operation Procedures. All retail activities will take place on site, as per requirements, no retail sales are permitted at outdoor festivals and events, no deliveries. No window displays of products; GDG will ensure that all windows are opaque and prevent anyone to see activities inside the store. GDG will equipped with an intrusion alarm that is both audible and monitored by a 3rd_party security service. Locks will be used on perimeter doors, storage rooms, and display cases. Security cameras will monitor the full sales floor, any product storage area, and the interior and exterior of all entrances and exits. The system will record at all times and you must save footage for at least 30 days. Cannabis on display will be locked in secure containers. All cannabis products will be stored at GDG retail location.

Jaci Diachuk, Administrative Assistant, Maple Ridge, BC Re: Non Medical Cannabis Store Dear Jaci, APPENDIX Ill I respectfully object to the proposed nn medical cannabis store at 11696 224 St in Maple Ridge. I feel that the area south of North Ave should be reserved for residential development only. That particular area appears to have some attractive projects planned and a retail store would not be appropriate. There seem to be ample opportunities just north of North Ave and that would be a much better location. I would certainly be willing to discuss this on more detail if appropriate.

~~~-~.,.~-·~~-= Ms. Jaci Diachuk Administrative Assistant 1199 5 Haney Place Maple Ridge, BC V2X6A9 Dear Ms. Diachuk I am writing in response to the Green Dreamz Garage Inc. application for a non medical cannabis retail store on 224th Street in Maple Ridge. I am greatly opposed to such a retail outlet in that area. For years people in that neighbourhood have had to deal with a myriad of problems associated with the homeless camp where drug use was rampant. Many of those individuals who lived in the homeless camp still frequent that neighbourhood and are known drug users. Not only that but there is the supportive housing complex nearby on Royal Crescent and neighbours of that complex complain on a regular basis about the open drug use nearby. Do we really need to support that behaviour by providing those drug users with a commercial outlet where they can purchase cannabis freely? I don't think so. I live on and for a number of years now we have been bothered with property crime and we have attributed it to the former homeless camp ( eg. theft of propane tanks off patios, theft of garden supplies, etc.). We thought that with the removal of the homeless camp we would get respite from this but now there is an application for a business that will only encourage people who use drugs to again frequent our neighbourhood and again bring these unwanted behaviours. Hopefully this application will be denied at this time. =-Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act Section 21(1) (Severed portions are highlighted) I I l l
