Goddard, Director of Planning MEETING: Regular Council SUBJECT: Item 1101 November 3, 2020 Committee of the Whole Second Reading, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7567-2019 12155 Edge Street Addendum Providing Additional Information Further to the Committee of the Whole meeting on November 3, 2020 the following information is provided with respect to the proposed Short Term Bicycle Parking variance, EV charging stations requirement and accessibility items. The applicant has requested to vary the short term bicycle parking requirement from 63 stalls to 20 stalls. The applicant is instead providing 219 long term parking stalls when only 63 stalls are required. The applicant has provided the following rational for the reduction in short term bicycle parking. “Visitor bike parking is provided at each of the 3 main entrances per bylaw. We would prefer to over provide on long term bike parking at a ratio of 1:1 as opposed to 1:4, in consideration for the reduction in short term bike parking. We have provided 20 short term bike parking stalls exterior to the building, which we believe is more than sufficient for day-to-day visitor parking.” In addition, staff have support this variance due to proximately of the site to services in the downtown. The site is within 5 minutes walking distance, as indicated in the diagram below, to the many services that downtown provides once of which is the transit exchange. Addendum to Item 1101 Doc#2603239 Page 2 of 2 Electric Vehicle charging requirements are contained within the "Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No.4350 - 1990" Schedule “F”. The requirements are currently to simply provide rough- in infrastructure to the underground stalls to allow future Level 2 Charging. Council may review this matter again in the future with upcoming sustainability work by others. The developer has commented that they will likely be providing some accessibility elements to some residential units in accordance with requirements from their lender who will assist in financing the project. These details have not yet be worked out between the parties. Sincerely; Chuck Goddard
