City of Maple Ridge
TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden MEETING DATE: November 10, 2020
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2019-244-RZ
FROM: C. 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.

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
