The Planner gave a detailed description providing information on the application. The Corporate Officer advised that 44 notices were mailed out in relation to this application and that no correspondence was received in response. The Acting Mayor called for speakers a first time.
Public Hearing Report March 15, 2022 Page 5 of 5 Stephen Campbell Mr. Campbell advised that the golf course is currently surrounded by residential dwellings and expressed concern with the potential of a residential development in the future. Staff advised that the proposed zoning is intended to replicate the current use and that a rezoning application would be required. If the owner wanted to change the use from a golf course to residential, they would be required to follow the Agricultural Land Use regulations. Terry Kim and Corina Kim Mr. Kim requested clarification of the proposed zone and whether the zone would apply to surrounding properties. Staff advised that the proposed zone is meant to replicate the current use and that the new zone only applies to the subject property in question. Farzin Yadegari Mr. Yadegari, the architect for the property owner, asked if it would be possible to have family-oriented lots on the property. Staff advised that the subject property is designated agricultural and is located within the ALR. Staff confirmed that if the subject property was not used as a golf course that the property would revert to farm use with one single family detached home permitted. The General Manger of Planning and Development Services clarified that the rezoning before Council and the public intended to mimic the existing permissions and that any future changes may require ALC approval. The Acting Mayor called for speakers on second and third call. There being no further comment, the Acting Mayor declared this item dealt with. Having given all those persons whose interests were deemed affected by the matters contained herein a chance to be heard, the Acting Mayor adjourned the Public Hearing at T:34 p.m. C.

COUNCIL
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021, to permit a site-specific text amendment to reduce the
separation distance for a Cannabis Retail Use, for the subject property located at 20690 Lougheed
Highway (see Appendices A and B) has been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and
subsequently was granted third reading. The applicant has requested that final reading be granted.
To permit the Cannabis Retail Use to be established on the subject property, a site-specific text
amendment is required to Zoning Bylaw General Regulation Section 401.3 (g)(ii), which prohibits the
retail sale of cannabis if located within 1,000 m (3,280 ft.) from another Cannabis Retail Use under
the Zoning Bylaw. The amendment is to reduce the current separation distance from 1,000 m (3,280
ft.) to 333.5 m (1,099 ft.) from the property located at 20395 Lougheed Highway (Muse Cannabis).
This amendment would also allow for the proposed Cannabis Retail Use which is 954.2 m (3,131 ft.)
from the property located at 20110 Lougheed Highway (Burb Cannabis) (see Appendix C). It is noted
that the site-specific text amendment bylaw will proceed ahead of the proposal to rezone the western
portion of the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community
Commercial), under a separate Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7609-2021 (same file# 2019-427-RZ). The
timing of final reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7609-2021 is contingent on a full engineering
servicing review and completion of associated rezoning conditions.
A separate application for a non-medical Cannabis Retail Use, located at 20757 Lougheed Highway
(file 09-4560-20), went to the February 22, 2022 Council meeting and was subsequently deferred and
directed to apply for a site-specific text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw for the 1,000 m (3,280 ft.)
separation distance requirement. It is noted that the separation distance from 20757 Lougheed
Highway to the proposed Cannabis Retail Use at the subject property, 20690 Lougheed Highway, is
approximately 131 m (430 ft.) (see Appendix C).
Council granted first and second reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021 on July 27, 2021.
This application was presented at Public Hearing on September 21, 2021, and Council granted third
reading on September 28, 2021.

RECOMMENDATION: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021 be adopted. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on September 21, 2021. On September 28, 2021 Council granted third reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021. Council did not require any conditions to be met for the site-specifc text amendment. b) Additional Information: The site-specific text amendment to reduce the 1,000 m (3,280 ft.) separation distance for the Cannabis Retail Use, under Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021, was intended to run concurrently with Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7609-2021 (rezoning the western portion of the site from RS-1 to C-2), both under application 2019-427-RZ. In the original proposal, the existing liquor store, currently located within the Hammond Mill Centre (Unit 100), would relocate to the new proposed building and the proposed Cannabis Retail Use would then move into the existing liquor store location, Unit 100. However, the Cannabis Retail Use will now move into Unit 106 within the existing Hammond Mill Centre (see Appendix D). This does not change the separation distance requirements from the other cannabis retail locations, as measurements are taken from property boundaries and not from individual units. Therefore, the separation distances remain unchanged and the proposed Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021 remains accurate in the distance measurement to the other Cannabis Retail Use. Through the introduction of a Notice of Motion, raised at the March 8, 2022 Council meeting, that on March 29, 2022, Council will be considering a resolution to direct the review of the Cannabis Retail Store Processing & Evaluation Criteria, Policy 6.33. It is anticipated that any new applications for a Cannabis Retail Use would be held, pending the review and adoption of Policy 6.33. As the subject application is instream, it is not impacted by the policy review. As it relates to the subject application, Council has the option of granting final reading, deferral, or defeating the Bylaw. It is noted that the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch have stated their intent to comply with local process and regulations; however, they are exempt from the requirement to obtain local government permissions. 2019-427-RZ Page 2 of 3
CONCLUSION: As there are no conditions to be met for the site-specific text amendment for a reduction in separation distance for the Cannabis Retail Use, and that the application is instream and not impacted by the policy review, it is recommended that final reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7776-2021.

1100 COMMITTEE REPORTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1101TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7837-2022 22590 116 Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MEETING DATE: March 15, 2022 FILE NO: 2021-523-RZ MEETING: C o W An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 22590 116 Avenue from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential), to permit approximately 10 townhouse units. The subject property has been subject to an earlier rezoning application, that was not completed in the required period of time after third reading. The landlocked subject lot requires access though an existing townhouse development at 22538 116 Avenue, by way of an access easement. The existing access easement required renegotiation and the parties at the time did not arrive at an agreement. Resolution of access to the property must be resolved prior to advancing this application for second reading. To proceed further with this application, in addition to the usual requirements after first reading is granted, a preliminary agreement for access needs to be submitted as part of the full submission. These requirements are outlined in the recommendation. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7837-2022 be given first reading; 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, D, E and G of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999; and further 3. That the applicant provide further information of a preliminary agreement with the owners of Strata MLS 180 for a new construction and permanent access easement.

(21,743 sq. ft.) 1,313 sq. m. (14,133 sq. ft.) after road widening for Haney Bypass Through Strata LMS180 to 116 Avenue Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics and Background: The property is a remnant lot that retained its single residential dwelling and associated landscaping, and was not developed when the surrounding lands were developed for townhouses (see Appendix A and B). The land is relatively flat with a retaining wall elevating from the Haney Bypass to the south. The subject property was originally subdivided from the parent parcel in 1981. As part of this original subdivision, the newly created subject Lot 37 (22590 116 Avenue) was granted an access easement over parts of the adjacent lots in the subdivision of Lot 39. Since then, further subdivision of the neighbouring Lots 38 and 39 occurred, whereby, the access easement for the subject lot was moved to its present location, through the driving aisle of Fraserview Townhouses located northwest of the subject property. The access easement permits both pedestrian and vehicular traffic to access the single residential house currently on the subject property. The wording of the access easement does not restrict the use of the driving aisle in any way and legally permits the developer to continue to use the Fraserview driving aisle as access to their property indefinitely. 2021-523-RZ Page 2 of 5
Subsequent to the above referenced subdivision and development applications, there was a rezoning application (RZ/095/08). Residents of the townhouse strata at 22538 116 Avenue, expressed concerns over the density on the subject site and the impact on the easement area. Although the current applicant has engaged in some dialogue with the strata at 22538 116 Avenue, the City has already been contacted by some of the strata residents, and the concerns with this new proposal remain the same. After the April 20, 2010 Public Hearing for RZ/095/08, Council deferred third reading and the former applicant entered into lengthy discussions with the strata. Sufficient progress was made to allow for third reading to be granted on August 28, 2012. When the third reading extension expired in 2014, the density, and form and character issues were resolved; however, not all easement-related matters, such as repairs due to construction damage and joint maintenance arrangements, were reached with the strata. c) Project Description: The proposal is for a 10-unit townhouse project, with each unit containing two side-by-side garage spaces. The site plan has accommodated the 6.0 metre road widening along Haney Bypass as required by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The proposed density is for a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) of 0.60 plus an additional 0.15 FSR, for a total FSR of 0.75, to be gained through the Bonus Density provision in the Town Centre Area. The required payment will be approximately $67,841.40. At this time the current application 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 impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the South View Precinct of the Town Centre Development Permit Area Plan and is currently designated Ground Oriented Multi-family, which allows for a medium-high density townhouse development not to exceed three storeys in height (Town Centre Area Plan Policy 3-18). The proposed rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) is, therefore, in compliance with the regulations of the Official Community Plan. The design of the townhouse development will be reviewed for compliance with the OCP Policy 3 -21 that all Neighbourhood and Major Corridor Residential infill developments will respect and reinforce the physical patterns and characteristics of established neighbourhoods as part of the Development Permit Application process. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 22590 116 Avenue from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to RM-1 (Low Density Townhouse Residential) (see Appendix C) to 2021-523-RZ Page 3 of 5
permit approximately 10 townhouses (see Appendix D). Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Town Centre Development Permit (South View) application is required for all multifamily residential, flexible mixed use and commercial development located in the Town Centre. Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity or building permits where there are significant slopes. This application may not be required a permit to be issued if the applicant demonstrates trees and their root structures on the periphery of the site are preserved and protected through the development permit landscaping plans; and the stability of the retaining wall is fully addressed and determined to be safe through the geotechnical analysis and a covenant registered on title. Advisory Design Panel: A Town Centre Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. This can be an opportunity to achieve an understanding about access during construction and permanently for future residents that can be structured into an agreement and registered on title between third and final readings. 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; e) Parks, Recreation and Culture Department; f) School District; g) Utility companies; h) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and i) 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. 2021-523-RZ Page 4 of 5
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 or Schedule C); 3. A Town Centre Development Permit Application (Schedule D); 4. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); and 5. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G). In addition, a preliminary agreement as described in this report is to be submitted. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal complies with the OCP; however, further details are required as part of the detailed submission. Therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information about construction and maintenance arrangements and a suitable infill design being provided and assessed prior to second reading.

1102~,-TO: FROM: SUBJECT: mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7829-2022 12076 Glenhurst Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: MEETING DATE: March 15, 2022 FILE NO: 2021-555-RZ MEETING: C o W An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 12076 Glenhurst Street, from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) and RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) to RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential), to permit the future construction of a duplex. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. As per Council Policy 6.31, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) program. The CAC rates in Policy 6.31 are currently under review, and if approved at an upcoming Council meeting, it is anticipated that this application will be subject to new rates. The expected CAC contribution rate for this rezoning application will be confirmed in the second reading report. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7829-2022 be given first reading; and further 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999.

There is an existing single-family dwelling onsite that will require removal as part of the rezoning approval. The existing vegetation onsite includes both mature and adolescent trees located along the peripheries of the property (see Appendices A and 8). 2021-555-RZ Page 2 of 5
c) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) and RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) to RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit the construction of a duplex as discussed above (see Appendix D). At this time, the current application 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 impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The OCP designates the subject property as Urban Residential -Neighbourhood Residential, and development of the property is subject to the Neighbourhood Residential Infill Policies. These policies require that development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design, setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. Specifically, Policy 3.19(b) emphasizes that different unit types such as duplexes and triplexes, are scaled and designed to integrate characteristics that resemble a single-family dwelling with an emphasis on street-oriented buildings. The proposed rezoning of the subject property to the RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential) zone, to support the development of a duplex, aligns with the intent of these OCP and Neighbourhood Residential Infill policies and is therefore supportable. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) and RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) to RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit the construction of a duplex (see Appendix D). The minimum lot size for the proposed RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential) zone is 750 m2 (8,073 ft2). The minimum lot width for the RT-1 (Two-Unit Urban Residential) zone is 20.0m (65.6ft) and the lot width of the subject property is 19.8m (65.0ft), therefore, a small variance for lot width is required and this will trigger the need for a Development Variance Permit. Any other variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will also require a Development Variance Permit application and will be the subject of a future report to Council. Development Permits: A development permit is not required for the proposed development. However, the City will require a restrictive covenant to be registered to regulate form and character of the duplex and to ensure the proposal compliments adjacent single-family residential uses. 2021-555-RZ Page 3 of 5
Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is not required; therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance with the OCP and is proposing less than five dwelling units. 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; e) Parks, Recreation and Culture Department; f) School District; and g) 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. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and 2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E). The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. 2021-555-RZ Page 4 of 5
CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading, subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading.

Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Participating in Council Meetings As per Council feedback during the October 19, 2021 Council Workshop presentation, the Proposed Bylaw incorporates a number of definitions, such as "Harassing", "Respectful Debate", and "Accountability", which are referenced in various sections of the document in order to provide clarity in expectations of participants in Council meetings. Changes to Acting Mayor Rotation In the Existing Bylaw, the acting Mayor rotation is set out annually in November from amongst all Members. In the Proposed Bylaw, flexibility is incorporated into the process of selecting Members for rotation, allowing for Members unable or unwilling, to not participate in an Acting Mayor rotation and be excluded for up to one year. The term of the designate Councillors acting in the place of the Mayor is not required to be equal amongst all Councillors. Lateness and Absences From Hearing Matters The Proposed Bylaw sets out a process for placing late coming Members to electronic meetings into a virtual waiting room and preventing them from listening to, voting on or discussing items at the meetings for which they were not present at their introduction. 11 (7) If a member of Council participates in a meeting of Council by Electronic Means or other communication facilities: (a) is not present at the start of the meeting the Chair shall keep the member in the virtual waiting room until the current item has concluded as to not interrupt the proceedings; 31 (4) Members not present during the introduction of the matter under debate shall not be recognized by the presiding member until after the debate on the matter is concluded and the matter is dealt with by Council. Members not present during the introduction of the matter under debate shall not discuss that matter when recognized by the presiding member. Distribution of Materials For Closed Meetings The Proposed Bylaw specifies that the Chair of a closed meeting may determine at their discretion the method of providing the materials presented at the closed meeting. Retention of Closed Meeting Recordings The Proposed Bylaw sets out the process for retaining the recordings from closed meetings until the minutes from those meetings can be verified: 16 (4) The electronic recordings of closed meetings shall be retained until the later of: a. The minutes of closed meetings have been verified as to their accuracy by comparing them to the recording of the closed meeting and adopted; and b. Six (6) months after the date the meeting took place. Doc#3030319 Page 2 of 3
