This prestigious award recognizes outstanding initiative and achievement in the successful development of a public airport, heliport, or floatplane landing facility by an individual, association, municipal government, or company. Past winners include Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Abbotsford International Airport (YXX), and Kelowna International Airport (YLW). “This is great news for our airport and for our two communities”, said City of Maple Ridge CAO and Pitt Meadows Airport Society Director, Scott Hartman. “The YPK team’s collective vision, hard work, and relentless efforts are evident with the recent successes at YPK and now with the formal recognition from the BCAC. I am grateful to help support the efforts as we continue to grow YPK.” Airport CAO & General Manager, Guy Miller, was extremely honoured and humbled to be the recipient of this year’s BCAC award, saying “It’s a wonderful award and I understand what goes into receiving an award such as this. Commitment, determination, and perseverance are all part of it. That said, it’s not done through one individual, and it’s not done on an island. It’s done through the support and efforts of a large team of individuals that come alongside bringing vision to reality.” Miller specifically acknowledged the “Province of BC for the provision of funds through the BCAAP Program which helped to kickstart our many infrastructure improvement projects at the airport, my staff for their remarkable enthusiasm, dedication, and hard work over the past four years, and the Pitt Meadows Airport Society Board of Directors for their steadfast support and skilled leadership through the development and upgrade process.” YPK was selected as this year’s winner for their commitment to the redevelopment, rehabilitation, and upgrade of the airport’s ageing infrastructure, including a state-of-the-art terminal building, redevelopment of several hangar buildings, a new helicopter complex, a new airpark complex, brand new apron, enhanced night lighting, refreshed line marking and fencing, and new operational signage. YPK has also made several community- minded and beautification upgrades including plane - spotting features along the airport perimeter walking path, a static aircraft display at the new entranceway, and three micro-parks as part of their parking lot rehabilitation project. 2023 and 2024 will see continued efforts as YPK focuses on the re-pavement of its runways, taxiways, and supporting infrastructure. more... 100-18799 Airport Way, Pitt Meadows, BC, Canada V3Y 2B4 “We are incredibly honoured to receive this prestigious award from the British Columbia Aviation Council”, said City of Pitt Meadows CAO and Pitt Meadows Airport Society President, Mark Roberts. “It’s wonderful to see the airport recognized for the exceptional work that has gone into its redevelopment these last few years, and it motivates us to continue towards our long-term goals for YPK as a provider of quality air services and vibrant business activity in the North Fraser region.” Pitt Meadows Regional Airport staff will also be recognized for this achievement at an upcoming City of Pitt Meadows Council Meeting on November 22nd.

The subject property forms part of the proposed Yennadon Area Plan properties and is the last remaining parcel to be removed from the ALR. The subject property is identified as a remnant parcel and has been previously identified by the ALC as appropriate for exclusion. The ALR Exclusion Application process has been recently revised, requiring the Local Government to assume the role of applicant. RECOMMENDATION: That Exclusion Application 2022-170-AL be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission for their review and consideration. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: This application is proposing to remove the subject property, located at 23154 128 Avenue (see Appendices A and B), from the ALR. The subject property is located just west of the intersection of 232 Street and 128 Avenue and is identified as one of thirteen properties that make up the boundaries of the proposed Yennadon Area Plan, also known as the Yennadon Lands (see Appendix C). The subject property is the only remaining parcel of the Yennadon Lands still left within the ALR. The subject property is outside the City's Urban Area Boundary and currently outside of the Regional Metro Vancouver Urban Containment Boundary. Should the subject Exclusion Application be approved through both Council and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), it would then align with the other twelve properties within the Yennadon Lands, in terms of the remaining City and Regional level processes and approvals still required as part of the larger Yennadon Area Plan process. Council first considered this Exclusion Application at the October 25, 2022 Council meeting at which time it was forwarded to Public Hearing (see Appendix D). The Public Hearing was subsequently held on November 22, 2022. As part of the process, the Council recommendation is to forward the subject application to the ALC for consideration. Should the proposed Exclusion Application not be supported, Council may elect to deny forwarding this application to the ALC, in which case it will be considered closed and the application will not proceed further. 2022-170-AL Page 1 of 2 CONCLUSION: The subject property is one of thirteen parcels within the Yennadon Area Plan and is the last remaining property within the Yennadon Lands still left in the ALR. The subject property has been identified as appropriate for exclusion from the ALR, as per ALC Resolution 2635/2011. Approval of the subject Exclusion Application would allow staff to continue with the regional approvals required at the Metro Vancouver level, for the remaining Yennadon Area Planning process. It is therefore recommended that Council forward the subject application to the ALC for consideration.

Project Description: The subject application is proposing to remove the subject property, located at 23154 128 Avenue (see Appendices A and B), from the ALR. The subject property is located just west of the intersection of 232 Street and 128 Avenue and is identified as one of thirteen properties that make up the boundaries of the proposed Yennadon Area Plan, also known as the Yennadon Lands (see Appendix C). The subject property is the only remaining parcel of the Yennadon Lands still left within the ALR. The subject property is outside the City's Urban Area Boundary and currently outside of the Regional Metro Vancouver Urban Containment Boundary. Should the subject Exclusion Application be approved through both Council and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), it could then align with the other twelve properties within the Yennadon Lands, in terms of the remaining City and Regional level processes and approvals still required as part of the larger Yennadon Area Plan process. The subject property is currently being used for agricultural purposes, including the raising of chickens for egg production, as well as livestock. There is a residential use on the subject property, with the property owners residing at this location for over 45 years. It is noted that a combined Telus, Rogers and Freedom Mobile cellular tower is also located on the subject property. 3. Planning Analysis: i. Remnant Parcels in the Agricultural Land Reserve In 2011, the ALC recognized certain properties within the City as appropriate for exclusion, under ALC Resolution 2635/2011, which are identified as 'remnant parcels' (see Appendix D). The identification of these properties for exclusion stems from the Commission's interest in maintaining an ALR that accurately reflects agricultural capability and suitability of properties contained within it, as well as consideration for those properties that may be identified as unsuitable for agriculture. There were opportunities to exclude these remnant parcels as a larger group application, or on an individual exclusion application basis, with the latter applying to the subject property. 2022-170-AL Page 2 of 5 ii. Processing Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve On November 10, 2020, a report for processing exclusion applications, titled 'Bi// 15 Changes to the Agricultural Land Commissions Act', was received by Council outlining the Local Government's new role in processing applications for exclusion from the ALR (see Appendix E). This new process eliminates the option for landowner Exclusion Applications, and instead, requires the Local Government to assume the role as the applicant. The November 10, 2020 staff report outlined three recommendations for Council consideration that were subsequently moved and seconded, as outlined below: R/2020-442 Moved and Seconded: 1. That staff prepare an amendment to Fees & Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 to establish a fee for exclusion applications; and 2. That staff prepare a Council Policy for the Processing of Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve; and further 3. That as an interim measure until the above noted Council Policy is endorsed, applications for exclusion for remnant parcels, properties within a Council-endorsed area planning process, or other policy-based criteria, will be evaluated and based on merits may be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission. As this is the first exclusion application to be received since the recent process changes have been implemented, item 3 above (interim measure) is applicable and will be applied to the subject application, until such time that items 1 and 2 are addressed through a future Council-approved process. It is noted that these items, 1 and 2, are on the workplan, however, the focus to date has been on Council's Strategic Priority Areas. As part of this new exclusion process, and should Council support the subject Exclusion Application at this Committee of the Whole meeting and subsequent Council meeting, the application would then proceed to Public Hearing, followed by consideration at the next available Council meeting. iii. Official Community Plan The concept for the Yennadon Area Plan is to permit future employment uses. The intent for the Yennadon Lands and the surrounding area, is to create a complete neighbourhood where residents and business owners can live, work and play within a short walk or bicycle ride of their residence. The employment area is intended to be smaller and scaled to fit with the surrounding neighbourhood, offering the potential for a variety of smaller-scaled buildings with limited heights and sizes. A copy of the Council report, titled: Employment Lands: Re-designation of the Yennadon Lands to Industrial (Employment Park Category), which received second reading on April 12, 2022, is attached (see Appendix F). 4. Interdepartmental Implications: i. Environment: Records indicate the presence of some water features in the area, including headwater features such as ponds, wetlands, and channels that might contribute to the Coho Creek system (see Appendices G and H). Appendices G and H are high level preliminary site context maps that require further field verification from a Qualified Environmental 2022-170-AL Page 3 of 5 Professional with some experience around wetland assessments. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit application would be required for future development of the subject site. It is also noted, from an environmental perspective, that a future Rezoning of this site may require potential dedication of Conservation areas to the City. This may reduce the potential parent parcel size, in terms of developable area. Furthermore, exclusion of the subject property from ALR also indicates future development should be required to coordinate and integrate water protection and management concerns with the larger Yennadon Area Plan, with ongoing discussions about integrated water protection and management concerns on site with the assistance of senior environmental agencies and the City of Maple Ridge. ii. Engineering: Comments on development would be provided at a future Rezoning stage, should the Yennadon Area Plan be adopted. 5. Intergovernmental Implications: i. Metro Vancouver: The subject property is outside of the Region's Urban Containment Boundary (UCB), and as such, will require a land use designation change at the Metro Vancouver level, as part of the larger Yennadon Area Plan process. It is noted that the surrounding properties, including those within the Yennadon lands to the west and south, are already included in the regional UCB. As Metro Vancouver is currently undertaking a review of the Regional Growth Strategy, Metro 2050, any minor amendments will be held until this regional planning process has been complete. Staff review of the Regional Growth Strategy suggest the UCB amendment is in alignment with regional goals. An application is also required by the City to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District Board, as part of the Yennadon Area Plan process, to achieve regional approval to include the Yennadon Lands within the Fraser Sewerage Area. Should the property be excluded from the ALR, the City can proceed with the applicable bylaws through the regional designation process required by Metro Vancouver, in order to facilitate servicing and future employment uses at the subject property. ii. Agricultural Land Commission: Since 2004, the ALC has permitted twelve of the thirteen Yennadon Land properties to be removed from the ALR. This was a voluntary process, so only those property owners that chose to participate went through the exclusion process. The subject property did not go through this exclusion process at that time, and as such, is the subject of the current exclusion application. The subject application must first receive Council approval, at which point the application would be forwarded to the ALC for their required approval process. 6. Alternatives: The recommendation is to forward this application to the ALC for consideration. Should the proposed Exclusion Application not be supported, Council may elect to deny forwarding this application to the ALC, in which case it will be considered closed and the application will not proceed further. 2022-170-AL Page 4 of 5 CONCLUSION: The subject property is one of thirteen parcels within the Yennadon Area Plan and is the last remaining property within the Yennadon Lands still left in the ALR. The subject property has been identified as appropriate for exclusion from the ALR, as per ALC Resolution 2635/2011. Approval of the subject Exclusion Application would allow staff to continue with the regional approvals required at the Metro Vancouver level, for the remaining Yennadon Area Planning process. It is therefore recommended that Council forward the subject application to the ALC for consideration.

These legislative changes, known as Bill 15, came into effect on September 30, 2020 and will affect application fees, soi! removal, fill placement, and application processes. A number of benefits are proposed for farm operators and for local governments. Farm operators may benefit from reductions in application fees. Local governments may benefit from receiving a greater portion of the application fee as outlined by the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) fee schedule. Likely the most noteworthy of these changes is the elimination of the option for land owner exclusion applications. This change could involve policy, financial and legal implications for local governments as they consider how to address landowner requests to exclude their land from the ALR. This report will discuss these ALC changes, and the impacts for local governments with land in the ALR. With a specific focus on the City of Maple Ridge context, including its exclusion application history, recommendations are provided for Council consideration. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That staff prepare an amendment to Fees & Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 to establish a fee for exclusion applications; and, 2. That staff prepare a Council Policy for the Processing of Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve; and further, 3. That as an interim measure until the above noted Council Policy is endorsed, applications for exclusion for remnant parcels, properties within a Council-endorsed area planning process or other policy based criteria will be evaluated and based on merits may be forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The recent changes to ALC regulations will affect the following: 1. The placement of fill and the removal of soil. 2. The ability to place remediation orders on title. 3. Application fees and the portion received by local governments. 4. Landowner applications for exclusion from the ALR (eliminated). 2588622 Page 1 of 8 These changes are discussed further below: i. The placement of fill and the removal of soil: These regulatory changes specifically pertain to the placement of fill or removal of soil for farm roads. The previous regulations had a threshold fill volume of 50 cubic metres or less, regardless of variables such as farm size or road length. The new regulations recognize these variables by establishing a 50 cubic metre threshold per 100 metres of road length. In addition, asphalt and recycled concrete were prohibited materials for road maintenance. The new regulations allow the use of recycled concrete aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement as fill for roads and parking areas in the ALR, provided that these materials are crushed or screened to be no larger that 1.9 centimeters (0.75 inches) in diameter. ii. The ability to place remediation orders on title. The CEO of the ALC has been given the authority to register a remediation notice on a property's certificate of title as an advisory to potential purchasers. This measure will help to inform prospective purchasers of ALC requirements on specific properties prior to the transfer of title. Iii. Application fees and the portion received by local government. The changes in application fees in effect are outlined in Tables 1 and 2 below. Table 1 Previous Fees Fees until September 29, 2020 Local Government ALC portion Total Portion Non-Adhering Residential Use Soil Removal or Fill $300.00 $1,200.00 $1,500.00 Placement Non-Farm Use Subdivision Exclusion No fee will be assigned to Inclusion Applications. The costs for Non-Adhering Residential Use applications are significantly reduced, from $1500.00 to $900.00. In addition, the local government portion of the fee will increase, from 20% to 50%. Although the application fee is reduced, the local government will receive more money, from $300.00 to $450.00. This 50% cost sharing will also apply to Fill, Non-Farm Use, Subdivision, and specific (Prescribed Body) Exclusion applications. In these cases, the fee remains the same, but the local government portion will increase from $300.00 to $750.00. Table 2 New Fees New Rates (in effect Local Government ALC portion Total September 30, 2020) Portion Non-Adhering Residential Use $450.00 $450.00 $900.00 Soil Removal or Fill Placement Non-farm Use $750.00 $750.00 $1,500.00 Subdivision Exclusion (Prescribed Body) Local Govt Initiated Exclusion $750.00 $750.00 2588622 Page 2 of 8 . ,· . -.... ·.:o.~;· iv. Landowner applications for exclusion from the ALR (eliminated) As demonstrated by the fee schedules above, these new regulations recognize two types of exclusion applications, including (1) Prescribed Body and (2) Local Government initiated Exclusion applications. Prescribed Body applications are generated from government organizations. These include Regional Health Boards, Educational Bodies, Improvement Districts, BC Transit Corporation, BC Housing Management Commission, BC Hydro and Power Authority, South Coast BC Transportation Authority, BC Transportation Financing Authority, and the Columbia Power Corporation. All other exclusion applications are considered to be Local Government initiated exclusion applications, which, based on application history, would pertain to virtually all exclusion applications processed within the City of Maple Ridge. Both types of applications require notification, a public hearing, and the posting of a sign on the property under application. The Local Government initiated application sends the application and public hearing details directly to the Agricultural Land Commission. The Prescribed Body application submits the application on the ALC portal, but the application is first reviewed by the affected local government, who then pass a resolution about whether or not to forward the application to the ALC. The ALC online portal for submitting exclusion applications has been removed for private landowners as of September 30, 2020. The only option for private landowners to have their land excluded is through the Local Government initiated application process. Under this process, Local Governments (including Maple Ridge) must pay the $750.00 exclusion application fee. No provision yet exists under the ALC Act for application costs (including notification, signage, and processing) to be recovered from the interested landowners. Processing of Applications for Exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve Regardless of how local governments review exclusion requests and submit exclusion applications, in the decision making process, the ALC will continue to uphold its mandate to preserve ALR land, and encourage farming of ALR lands. Local Governments will continue to have the authority to determine how exclusion requests are dealt with from private landowners and to make decisions on whether or not to forward the prescribed body exclusion request application to the ALC. The ALC suggests that local governments develop a process for receiving exclusion requests from private landowners. Under the ALC Act, there is no blanket authority to charge fees for any service rendered. However, legal counsel for the City of Maple Ridge confirms that such a fee can be implemented. The ALC identifies three potential options for local governments to consider for ALR exclusion applications: 1. Council could accept all private landowner requests. 2. Council could develop criteria for considering forwarding exclusion applications to the ALC. 3. Council could consider exclusion applications as part of an area planning or Bylaw Review Process, and prohibit exclusion applications that are outside of the planning area. The ALC also suggested strategies such as grouping several properties into one exclusion application request, and to consider the attributes of each parcel under application (its percentage within the ALR, its location, and its agricultural capability) -----------------------------------2588622 Page 3 of 8 local Government Initiated Application -Responsibilities The ALC has clarified the new process for exclusion applications. Local Government initiated exclusion applications will proceed in a series of seven steps, outlined by the ALC as follows: • STEP 1: Local Government fills out the application. This must be undertaken on line through the ALC Application Portal. • STEP 2: Local Government gives notice of the application. Giving notice includes posting a sign that meets ALC guidelines, scheduling a public hearing, advertising the public hearing in two issues of a local newspaper, and notifying affected local or first nations governments. • STEP 3: Local Government holds the public hearing. The public hearing must give all attendees the opportunity to speak. • STEP 4: Local Government passes a resolution on the application. • STEP 5: Local Government submits the application to the ALC. • STEP 6: Local Government pays the $750.00 ALC application fee. • STEP 7: ALC holds the exclusion meeting to consider the application. Many of the steps outlined above are similar to the previous system of landowner applications. What has changed, however, is the responsibility given to local governments in processing these applications, through notification and advertising requirements, in hosting a public hearing, and the payment to the ALC. There are costs associated with these responsibilities. As noted, legal counsel indicates that the City of Maple Ridge could establish an application fee for these services. What is needed is a reasonable estimation of these costs in order to establish a fee schedule. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: Although many of the application fees described in this report will transfer more funds to local governments, exclusion applications are the exception. Based on chal)ges to the ALC resulting from Bill 15, staff recommend the adoption of a fee schedule for the processing of landowner exclusion applications. a) Exclusion Application Fees The estimated costs of a Local Government initiated application are as follows: Public notification (includes advertising, staff costs) Posting of sign Staff report (research and preparation) ALCfee Total $1200.00 (landowner's responsibility) $3000.00 $750.00 $4950.00 Based on the above calculations, the estimated municipal costs for each exclusion application would be in the range of $4,950.00. Notification costs that were previously paid for by property owners will now be assumed by the Municipality for the public hearing. For practical considerations, the recommended process is that the landowner pays the cost of signage. It is difficult to assess a cost for posting signs as there is a range of possibilities that can affect signage requirements, such as 2588622 Page 4 of 8 multiple properties under group applications. fn addition, there are a few companies that already provide this service to applicants in other development process applications. b) Alternative Action: Status Quo, no new fees: As noted above, the revised process brought on by Bill 15 wilt result in additional costs to the local government for landowner exclusion applications. In order to recover these costs, it is recommended that staff be directed to prepare an amendment to Fees & Charges Bylaw No. 7575-2019 to establish a fee for exclusion applications. In the absence of a revised fee schedule, these additional costs will covered by general revenues. Without an application fee, there is no financial disincentive for property owners not to seel< the exclusion of their properties. These applications would in effect be subsidized by Maple Ridge taxpayers. c) Processing of Applications Staff suggest that the proposed application process would proceed in two stages for the City of Maple Ridge. The first step would introduce the application to Council, through the staff report. The second step would be triggered by the Council decision of whether or not to forward the application to the ALC. The expectation is that signs would be posted before the proposal is considered by Council, in order to provide an opportunity for public input. If Council concurs with the recommended process, the applicant will be responsible for the signage portion of the notification. Other notification costs will only be triggered if Council decides to forward the application to the ALC for their consideration. The ALC will require notification, newspaper advertisements, and a public hearing, but those steps in the ALC process need only occur after Council has made a decision to forward the application to the ALC. For this reason, some of these funds could be refunded to the applicant, should Council deny the application from proceeding. Drafting the staff report will require background research and interdepartmental referrals. Maple Ridge policy documents, such as the Official Community Plan, and the Agricultural Plan will be used to establish a policy context for reviewing the application. The Engineering Department will need to assess the logistics of servicing a proposed development that exceeds the infrastructure requirements normally associated with agricultural land. The questions that the staff report will address will include the following: • What is the ALC process required in order to realize the development under application? • What are the community benefits to be attained with the development proposal, and is the exclusion justified, based on community need? • Is there an employment benefit? • How does the proposal align with the strategic direction established for Maple Ridge? • How likely is the application to succeed? The mandates of the ALC and Metro Vancouver, to protect agricultural land, and to meet growth management objectives will also need to be considered in the staff report to Council. Maple Ridge Application History In order to more fully estimate what these changes will mean for individual property owners, it is useful to review the recent history of applications for exclusion in the ALR. It is important to recognize that with few exceptions, the current ALR boundaries are likely to remain. This point was made clear with 2588622 Page 5of 8 ·· -··· .-.··--.·.r · ,.·:·-· ··v,,-,·-·,·.·.· ,-., .. ~.~--:-a number of policy documents commissioned by the City of Maple Ridge, including the Commercial and Industrial Strategy, which was endorsed by Council in 2014. The ALC confirmed to the project team that lands in the ALR should not be considered feasible for conversion to industrial uses. However, the ALC has also identified some lands for exclusion. An important dynamic in recent exclusion history is the ALC identified "remnant parcels". In 2011, the Agrlcultural Land Commission identified certain properties within the City as appropriate for exclusion under ALC Resolution 2635/2011, made on October 27, 2011 (Map is attached as Appendix B). This resolution invited the City to submit a local government application for exclusion for these remnant areas "identified by the Commission as being unsuitable for agriculture". The identification of these properties for exclusion stems from the Commission's interest in maintaining an Agricultural Land Reserve that accurately reflects agricultural capability and suitability of properties contained within it. Some of the properties identified as remnant parcels are within the Urban Area Boundary and have been developed for urban uses. Other properties are outside of the urban area but are considered unsuitable for agriculture due to site conditions. The expectation of the ALC was that these parcels would be excluded as a group application along with the exclusion of the Albion Flats, but the ALC also supported individual applications. In advance of this group exclusion, several of these properties have been advanced for exclusion as separate applications. Table 3 below summarizes the outcomes of the last five years of exclusion applications in Maple Ridge. Although Council denied some of these applications from being forwarded, the ALC has denied all exclusion applications for parcels that were not remnant parcels, as previously identified. Table 3.

Denied by Council 2016-082-AL (no civic address) No The. only successful applications in recent history have been for remnant properties that were previously Indicated for exclusion by the ALC. In addition to the remnant properties, the ALC recognizes 2588622 Page 6 of 8 that the Albion Flats Area Planning process will involve further exclusion applications. As these applications would likely succeed, there is a need for an interim policy to ensure that the processing of exclusion applications for these previously indicated properties would continue. An alternative approach, to consider each application on its own merits is not recommended due to the limited prospect for success. Summary of Recommendations The above section suggests that exclusion applications are usually denied, unless the property has been previously identified as unsuitable for agriculture by the ALC. Previously, application costs provided a financial disincentive for property owners, as success was unlikely. These new regulations have eliminated these costs and disincentives. In light of these circumstances, the following three recommendations are provided for Council consideration: 1. Develop application fees for reviewing and forwarding exclusion applications, similar to other land development applications, such as rezoning. These fees should be a reasonable reflection of the staff hours and other related costs in application processing. 2. Develop criteria for reviewing requests for exclusion using available resources and expertise to advance this work. The Official Community Plan contains policies for agriculture, for employment generating lands, and for growth management which could be used to develop this criteria. The Agricultural Plan outlines supportive agricultural measures, and also refers to compensatory measures to benefit agriculture should conversion of agricultural lands be contemplated. As a knowledgeable citizen's advisory body, the Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee could assist in reviewing potential criteria for this purpose. In the interim, Council could consider the merits of each application separately. 3. As an interim measure, until the above noted Council Policy is endorsed, applications for exclusion will be evaluated and forwarded for "remnant parcels", for properties within a Council endorsed Area Planning process, or other policy based criteria. The remnant parcels are identified on Appendix B. Council may wish to consider advancing these applications as a group application, and not on a parcel by parcel basis. This approach is recommended as an interim measure in recognition of previous ALC decisions and to ensure that applications being forwarded are supportable and respectful of the Commission's time. As a Council endorsed Area Planning process, it is noted that Albion Flats discussions are ongoing and a Block Exclusion Application for this area could commence outside of the interim policy. Other pertinent Maple Ridge policy documents include the Official Community Plan, the Agricultural Plan, and the Commercial and Industrial Strategy. Subject to Council review, the policies of these documents may form the basis of support for specific development proposals that may justify the removal of lands from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Desired Outcome The goal of this report is to provide for Council consideration a response to ALC changes to the exclusion application process. d) Citizen/Customer Implications The changes to fill and soil removal for road construction within the ALR are directly related to the needs of farming operations. The ability to place notices on title will avoid situations where purchasers of land have unknowingly purchased land with ALC remediation orders. The changes in application fees will cost less for the applicant and/or increase the local government portion of fees. 2588622 Page 7 of 8 The elimination of the ALR exclusion application by land owner option is contentious, and has been criticized by some property owners. However, property owners were previously required first to seek the approval of the local government, which has always had the authority to deny forwarding the application to the ALC. Nevertheless, because more of the exclusion application process is now assumed by local governments, landowners may benefit from a clearer process, with potential applicant cost savings, particularly if consultant services would otherwise have been used to advance the application with the ALC. e} Interdepartmental Implications The exclusion application process now in effect involves additional responsibilities for the local government, through notification requirements, the public hearing process, and the remittances of fees. The Legislative Services Department will likely be required to assume many of these responsibilities, in addition to the Planning Department. f) Financial Implications Some of the changes in application fees will increase the amount of money the City of Maple Ridge receives. The exception is the landowner application fees, which have been eliminated. For this reason, Council is advised to consider options for cost recovery by introducing a new application fee for this purpose, as outlined earlier in this report. CONCLUSION: This discussion of the changes to the ALC regulations and fee structure is presented for Council's information. Council's response to the changes in land owner exclusion applications will provide clarity for the community. For this purpose, a recommended process has been identified, and Council approval is requested.

Part of Bill 15 -Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 also brought into force by the same Order in Council. G~eetings, The purpose of this letter is to provide additional information about recent regulations that will bring into effect changes to the Agricultural Land Commission Act (ALCA) and its regulations. As part of recent public engagement undertaken by the B.C. Government, many local governments indicated that they would benefit from additional guidance and information from the Ministry of Agiiculture on any significant legislative changes. On June 26, 2020, Order in Council No. 353/2020 updated Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) regulations (see news release at https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2020AGRI0026-001 l 78). Effective September 30, 2020, the Order in Council: • amends the Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation and the Agricultural Land Reserve General Regulation as they r~late to soil removal, fill placement, and application fees; and, • brings into force a part of the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 (Bill 15), which amends the ALCA to enable the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) CEO to file remediation order notes on title. The September 30, 2020 effective date provides time for local governments, the public, other stalceholders, and First Nation governments to become familiar with, prepare for, and adapt to those changes. These changes will impact both private and public landowners. The appendix to this letter provides additional information about these changes. If you have any questions regarding these amendments and the revitalization of the .ALC and the ALR, please contact Arlene Anderson, Director of Legislation, B.C.

Application Fees On March 12, 2020, Order in Council (OIC) No.131/2020 was approved by the RC. Govenunent. This OIC simplifies how application fees are collected by local governments, First Nation governments, and the ALC. Those changes will come into effect September 30, 2020. In response to feedback about application fee amounts, Order in Council No. 353/2020 makes further changes about application fees. It lowers the fee for "non-adhering residential use" applications and it increases the amount of application fees that go to a local or First Nation government when they are required to review an application. For more information about applications that require local or ·First Nation government review, please see section 34 of the ALCA and section 34.1 of the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 (Bill 15). ·-···· -·--------Until September 29~ 2020 Application fees when local or First Nation government review is reauired Application type Fee to local or First Fee to ALC Total fee Nation government N on-Adhering_~esidential Use Soil or Fill Use Non-Faim Use $300 $1200 $1500 ~-Subdivision Exclusion Inclusion $0 $0 $0 r------As of September 30, 2020 and after Application fees when local or First Nation f;?;Overnment review is reauired Application type Fee to local or First Fee to ALC Total fee -----·-· ----......

Local and First Nation governments will also receive 50 percent of -4-the total application fee when their review is required, receiving $450 for "non-adhering residential use" applications and $750 for other types of application. ff a landowner applies to a local or First Nation government and the local or First Nation government does not forward the application to the ALC, the applicant only pays the local or First Nation government their p01tion of the application fee ($450 or $750). The applicant will notp::iy the A1~'§ p_grtiQn-9f th~ app}ic_~tjQJ! fe_e 9ecaus~!h~ ALC wjll__n.otreview the application. OIC No. 353/2020 also changes the amount a local or First Nation government will pay when they initiate some types of application to the ALe. Instead of the current higher fee, local and First Nation governments will pay $450 for a "non-adhering residential use" application or $750 for most other types of application. The most common local or First Nation government-initiated applications with these lower fees will likely be exclusion applications for land within their jurisdiction and applications for non-farm uses or subdivisions of land the local government owns. Fees for applications that are set out in regulation as those that must be be filed directly with the ALC (transportation and utility use applications) remain at $1500; they are not changed by ore No. 353/2020. Soil Removal and Fill Placement ore No. 353/2020 will make it easier for farmers on the ALR to maintain and build roads. Annual Farm Road Maintenance For maintenance of existing farm roads, soil removal or fill placement is currently allowed up to a volume of 50m3 per year. If a fa1mer needs to use more than that amount, they must seek permission by submitting a Notice of Intent or an application to the ALe. Some people with larger parcels expressed that this 50m3 limit unintentionally impacts their farms, and so this ore increases the amount of soil removal or fill placement for fann road maintenance to 50m3 per 100m of existing road length annually, effective September 30, 2020. To remove soil or place fill for the construction of a new farm road or for maintenance beyond 50m3 per 1 OOm of fa1m road length, a person can consult the ALe website for more infonnation about seeking permission by submitting a Notice of Intent or application to the ALC. Recycled Concrete Aggregate and Recycled Asphalt Pavement Construction and demolition waste are prohibited fill materials in the ALR. Prohibited fill materials are those: • that a person cannot use for a fill use permitted by regulation (see Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation section 35), and, • that the ALe may not approve to be used as fill if a person applies ( see Agricultural Land Reserve Transitional Regulation section 30. l and Agricultural Land Reserve General Regulation section 23). OIC No: 353/2020 defines recycled concrete aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement and pennits them to be used as fill for roads and parking areas in certain circumstances. Since some farm road maintenance is permitted under the regulations (see Agricultural Land Reserve Use Regulation section 35 [d]), a person will be able to use recycled concrete aggregate or recycled asphalt pavement as fill for farm road maintenance up to the annual pennitted amount without submitting a Notice ofintent or an application to the ALC. ·-·when a personapplies fo tlieALCTofpermissioii to place filr for road construction; .. -·· maintenance, or widening, the ALC will be able to approve the use of recycled concrete aggregate or recycled asphalt pavement as fill. Similarly, when a person applies to the ALC for permission to place fill for parking area construction or maintenance, the ALC will be able to approve the use of recycled concrete aggregate or recycled asphalt pavement as fill. For the purposes of the ALCA, recycled concrete aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement will be concrete and asphalt from a demolition process that have had other construction debris, like metal rodding, glass, or wood removed from them. Recycled concrete aggregate and recycled asphalt pavement will have to be crushed or screened and not exceed specific dimensions. Recycled concrete aggregate will have to be able to pass through a 1.905 cm screen (the size of 3/4 inch crush) while recycled asphalt pavement particles will be 1.905 cm3 or smaller. The ALC's compliance and enforcement team monitors how ALR land is used and responds to information or concerns they receive, including concerns about illegal fill dumping. People should contact the ALC if they suspect unauthorized land uses like fill dumping on the ALR. More information on the ALC's compliance and enfor~ement program can be found online here: https://www.alc.gov.bc.ca/alc/content/alc-act-alr-regulation/compliance-and-enforcement/about-compliance-and-enforcement. Remediation Order Notes on Title Ctln'ently, a person might purchase ALR land without being aware that there are outstanding remediation orders related to contraventions of the ALCA. OIC No. 353/2020 brings part of the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 (Bill 15) into force. That part gives the ALC's CEO the ability to file notices in the land title office about remediation orders that have been issued under the ALCA. The CEO may cancel the remediation order note when they are satisfied that the remediation order has been complied with, or that the remediation order cannot be substantially complied with. If the CEO registers a remediation order note on title, it will provide an avenue for prospective buyers to become aware of outstanding issues with the ALR land. -6-Recent legislative changes: Revitalization of the ALR and the ALC The Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 (Bill 15) continued the B.C. government's commitment to revitalize the ALR and the ALC. The part ofBill 15 that strengthens the independence and governance of the ALC was brought into force on March 12, -----2020-;-Much-of the remainder-ofBill-1-$-will be brought-into-force on September-30, 2020. The changes made by the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2018 (Bill 52) and the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2019 (Bill 15) build on recommendations of the Minister's Independent Advisory Committee (the Committee) to revitalize the ALR and the ALC, focusing on four targeted areas: • protecting the ALR land base into the future; • preserving the productive capacity of the ALR; "' improving governance of the ALR; and, • supporting fanners and ranchers in the ALR. From February 4 to April 30, 2018, the Committee held stakeholder consultation meetings in nine communities across B.C. with representatives from 29 local governments and over 110 individuals representing fanning and ranching associations and other agricultural organizations and stakeholder groups. The Committee also hosted an online public survey, receiving over 2300 completed smveys during that period, as well as ove! 270 written submissions. Feedback collected from this public engagement demonstrated that British Columbians believe the ALR is fundamental to the economic pe1f01111ance of the province's agriculture sector and to the province's food security. They value the ALR because it ensures viable agricultural land is available, affordable, and in production now and into the future. There is strong support from British Columbians for protecting the ALR. The first stage of legislative changes to revitalize the ALR and the ALC were made by the Agricultural Land Commission Amendment Act, 2018 (Bill 52). The amendments in Bill 52 were brought into force on February 22, 2019, and made changes in three key areas: • Restricting the removal of soil and placement of fill; and, increasing penalties for the dumping of construction debris and other harmful fill in the ALR. • Directly addressing mega-mansions and speculation in the ALR by limiting p1incipal residence size on ALR land and empowering the ALC to approve additional residences if they are necessary for frum use. " Reunifying the ALR as a single zone, ensuring consistent rules with strong protections for all ALR land across the province. These critical amendments were needed immediately to preserve the viability and productive capacity of the ALR through addressing the detrimental nature of mega-mansion builds and the abuse of soil and fill on the ALR. Fmiher, Bill 52 confomed that all land in the ALR is valuable by removing the two-zone approach. It was vital that government eliminate the perception that there is higher and lower priority agricultural land in B.C. -7-Role of the Agricultural Land Commission The ALC is the independent administrative tribunal dedicated to preserving agricultural land and encouraging farming in B.C. in coI1aboration with other communities of interest. The ALC administers the ALR in accordance with the ALCA and its regulations. tiie.appoin:i"ecf cominissio-nersreview 1arid"usepTans:Create.operationaipolicies, ai1d dee1cle lan.d··· use applications. ALC staff support the commissioners through administration, planning, mapping, and compliance and enforcement of legislation and orders. The ALC and its staff anticipate working with stakeholders throughout implementation of the Bill 15 changes in order to provide operational and administrative guidance. ALC staff will provide local governments with information updates through the ALC update emails, information bulletins, process guidelines, updates to the ALC website and application Portal, and educational materials with respect to Bill 15. Role of the Ministry of Agriculture The Ministry of Agriculture establishes government's policy and legislative framework for the ALC and the ALR. To encourage fanning and promote the development of the industry, the Ministry provides agricultural land use planning supp01i and infonnation material for local and TFN governments across the province through its Strengthening Farming Program and Regional Agrologist network. --·:....-· · '• -, ..... ,.~--··- APPENDIXB TO: APPENDIX F City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: April 5, 2022 FILE NO: 2016-195-CP FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C o W SUBJECT: Employment Lands: Re-designation of the Yennadon Lands to Industrial (Employment Park Category) Second Reading Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Policy); and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021 (Land Use Designation) First and Second Reading Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 (Land Use Designation) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The Yennadon Lands were identified as a potential location for future employment uses in the City's Commercial & Industrial Strategy, with the Strategy recommending that planning for the additional supply of employment land should begin now in order to best satisfy future demand in an increasingly competitive region. The Yennadon Lands are comprised of 13 properties. They range in size from 0.5 ha (1.5 acres) to 4 ha (10 acres). The total !and area is 25.4 hectares (63 acres), and are generally located at south-west of the intersection of 232 Street and 128 Avenue. At the May 11, 2021 Regular Council Meeting, Council granted first reading to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Appendix A) and Bylaw No. 7735-2021 (Appendix 8), to allow re-designation of the Yennadon Lands for an employment future. Following first reading, internal and external referral processes took place. This report outlines the referral responses received and what changes are proposed to the draft plan, reflecting the referral responses received. The report also outlines the latest information as it relates to regional and provincial processes with Metro Vancouver and the Agricultural Land Commission, respectively. With the information received through the referral process, it has been noted that the development and servicing of the Yennadon Land properties will require a collective approach in order to facilitate future uses that will offer a high employment density. As such, lot consolidation policies are proposed as an amendment to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021. The intent of these policies is to ensure the development of a cohesive road network, servicing access and environmental compensation package, while being able to unlock the maximum employment potential of these lands as flexibly as possible. Additionally, through the referral process, it has become necessary to re-draw the boundaries of the properties associated with Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021, as amended, has had two properties removed -the properties known as 12791232 Street and 23154 128 Avenue. • The property at 23154 128 Avenue has been removed due to the development application (2019-119-RZ) associated with the site moving towards a Commercial future, and its own associated Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw. • The property 23154 128 Avenue will now be captured under Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 (Appendix C) and it is anticipated that the Yennadon Land Employment Park policies and development permit guidelines will apply to the future development of this property. Doc#3034112 Page 1 of 13 As such, it is proposed that Council consider the amended Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 and amended Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021 for second reading, and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 for first and second reading. Should Council direct, Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, as amended, and Bylaw No. 7735-2021, as amended, may be forwarded to an upcoming Council Meeting for consideration of second reading and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 may be forwarded to an upcoming Council Meeting for consideration of first and.second reading, and then the three bylaws may be forwarded to Public Hearing. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That in respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and on-going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7,735-2021, and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 on the municipal website and the referral process together with an invitation to the public, Metro Vancouver and the Agricultural Land Commission to comment; and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaws; 2. That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, as amended, be given second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing; 3. That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021, as amended, be given second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing; 4. That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 be given first and second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing; 5. Subject to third reading of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021 and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022, that staff be directed to include the Type 2 Minor Amendments related to the Yennadon Land Regional Growth Strategy amendment package, that will be forwarded to Metro · Vancouver; and further 6. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022: i. That 23154 128 Avenue be removed from the Agriculture Land Reserve; ii, That the Metro Vancouver Urban Containment Boundary be amended; and Iii. That the subject properties are included in the Fraser Sewerage Area and/or request, via Council resolution, for permission to connectto the City of Maple Ridge sewer mains. Doc#3034112 Page 2 of 13 1.0 CONTEXT: 1.1 The Yennadon Lands (128 Avenue and 232 Street) The Yennadon Lands are comprised of 13 properties. They range in size from 0.5 ha (1.5 acres) to 4 ha (10 acres). The total land area is 25.4 hectares (63 acres). The subject properties are located outside of and adjacent to the City's Urban Area Boundary, but are largely within the Region's Urban Containment Boundary (see Appendix D for a map of the area). The existing uses on the lands range from single-family use to vacant underutilized lands, Figure 1-The Yennadon Lands according to BC Assessment data. The properties abut urban single-family development on the west and south boundaries; Agricultural Land Reserve to the east and north, and suburban single family lots on the north side of 128 Avenue. A historic commercial node; as well as Yennadon Elementary School, are lqcated within 200-400 m of the subject properties. Currently, the subject properties are designated Agricultural in the OCP and are zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential). All of the properties, except one property located near the northeast corner of the area, are located outside the Agricultural Land Reserve. The majority of these properties are designated General Urban in the Regional Growth Strategy. The City has received an application for the north-east property (12791232 Street/ 2019-119-RZ) to rezone the subject property from RS-2 (Single Detached Suburban Residential) to CS-1 (Service Commercial) to permit the future construction of a two-storey commercial building. This application requires an amendme.nt to the OCP to re-designate the land use from Agricultural to Commercial. Council granted first reading to Z.one Amending Bylaw No. 7558-2019 and considered the Figure 2-12791232 highlighted within the Yennadon Lands early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment No. 7557-2019 on July 9, 2019. The Zone Amending Bylaw and OCP Amendment received second ·reading on January 18, 2022, went through Public Hearing on February 15, 2022 and received third reading on February 22, 2022. Going forward, the subject site 12791 232 Street will not form a part of the Official Community Plan Amending land use designation bylaws associated with this staff report. 1.2 Concept Plan Development and Overview Council directed staff to undertake an employment land use re-designation process and consultation strategy for the Yennadon Lands at the June 18, 2019 Council Workshop Meeting. At the March 31, 2020 Council Workshop meeting, staff provided an update on the Yennadon Lands Re-designation process, including the proposed community engagement process that was postponed due to the pandemic. At that meeting, Council directed that the previously endorsed Yennadon Lands process be Doc#3034112 Page 3 of 13 revised and that staff work with the consultant to prepare some preliminary !and use concepts for Council to review prior to proceeding with public consultation. At the July 14, 2020 Council Workshop meeting, staff in collaboration with a consultant, presented three preliminary land use concepts for Council to review. At that meeting, Council directed staff to move forward with a public consultation process, taking into account the public health orders in effect at the time. At the December 8, 2020 Council workshop meeting, Council endorsed "Concept #2 -Neighbourhood Innovations Village" and directed staff to move forward with an Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw. The concept endorsed by Council at the end of 2020 provided for a 100% employment future for the developable areas of the Yennadon Lands. Based on Council comments, as well as what was heard from the community during the public consultation process, the following elements have been integrated into the policy work, design guidelines, or the land use schedule map associated with the re-designation of the Yennadon Lands towards an employment future: • Suitable Mix of Employment Uses: The employment area will need to have an appropriate mix and size of employment uses to generate suitable levels of job creation, while still affording a sensitive transition to the surrounding residential uses. • Neighbourhood Business Scale and Character: The design of the employment area will be limited to business activities primarily occurring inside a building to contain nuisance noise, odour, and other negative impacts. The building fprm will be more of a residential height and massing in the western area with generous landscape retention and reduced parking if possible. The eastern area may have larger and more conventional light industrial buildings. • Innovative Mixed Uses: The development of this site may include a mix of employment uses. • Environmental Sensitivity: Coho Creek will be protected and enhanced with the appropriate setbacks and a progressive stormwater management system on site. • Trail Network: A comprehensive trail network will connect to the adjoining communities and provide a rich amenity for both the businesses and residents to enjoy, promoting a healthy walking/biking culture. · • Resilience and Adaptability: This employment neighbourhood will be designed and planned so that there is diversity and choice of business parcels and units that may adapt and consolidate or expand over time. • Climate-Change Responsive: The infrastructure and servicing will be designed for increased storm flows and special events, so the neighbourhood has the ability to weather through extreme climatic conditions with additional precautionary measures, including floodways and dry pond areas for emergency stormwater storage. The intent is to create a complete neighbourhood, within the existing residential area, where residents and business owners can live, work and play w.ithin a five to ten-minute walk or bicycle ride of their residence. This employment area should be uniquely smaller and scaled to fit with the surrounding neighbourhood, offering the potential for a variety of smaller scaled buildings with limited building heights and sizes. The natural environmental area of the site will be conserved, as the Coho Creek Conservation Area, with the required 30 metre setback areas to buildings and trails along its edges. The employ.ment area Doc#3034112 Page 4 of 13 will be linked by trails and natural open spaces, which in turn will be connected to the adjoining communities. A natural interconnected pathway and trail system is recommended for the site that connects to the surrounding neighbourhoods. The trails should be slightly elevated to avoid flooding and may require elevated boardwalk sections in some of the riparian areas near the stream, or in particularly low wet areas. A gravel horse trail runs along the south side of 128th Avenue adjoining the site. There are no formal trails through the site. There are plans for a comprehensive bike lane and walking path for both 128th Avenue and 232nd Street in the future, that will incorporate bike lanes and a sidewalk/trail network. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaws No. 7734-2021 and No. 7735-2021 were drafted to integrate the Yennadon Lands Concept Plan into the Official Community Plan. The two bylaws were presented at the May 4, 2021 Committee of the Whole Council Meeting and were subsequently forwarded to the May 11, 2021 Regular Council Meeting for Council consideration of first reading. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaws No. 7734-2021 and No. 7735-2021 were granted first reading at the May 11, 2021 Regular Council Meeting. Following the consideration and granting of first reading to the two Official Community Plan Amending Bylaws, staff initiated the referral and consultation process, set out under Section 475 of the Local Government Act, which was endorsed at the time of first reading. This report highlights and responds to comments received through the referral and consultation process, noting that future site specific development applications will require additional studies, and referrals to outside agencies. 2.0 DISCUSSION: This section will outline the agencies involved in the referral process and the response of each. In addition, modifications to the Official Community Plan Bylaws, including the proposed amendments to the Yennadon Lands policies and Development Permit, will be laid out. 2.1 Yennadon Lands Referral Process As a part of the referral process, staff sent out referral requests to a number of external stakeholders and internal departments for their comments regarding the proposed redesignation of the Yennadon Lands towards an employment future. Returned comments are high-level, as site-specific details will come through the development application process. When development applications come before Council, additional studies typically found through the municipal rezoning process may be required. Such development related studies may include geotechnical assessments, ground-water impact assessments, servicing and infrastructure studies, agricultural impact assessments, environmental impact assessments (where development may encroach into some Environmentally Sensitive Areas), as well as significant tree and habitat balance assessments. Development applicants will be required to rezone (to the proposed new M-7 Employment Park Industrial zone discussed in Section 2.5 below) and obtain a development permit to regulate the form and character of new buildings. 2.1.1 External Stakeholders As per typical municipal referral processes, the following external stakeholders received a referral / comment request regarding the re-designation of the Yennadon Lands towards an employment future: • Agriculture Land Commission • Metro Vancouver • Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development • School District No. 42 • Translink Doc#3034112 Page 5 of 13 While the comments are summarized below, the complete responses are available in Appendix F. Comment requests were also sent to the Katzie and Kwantlen First Nations. Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) The ALC noted that one Yennadon Lands parcel is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). As such, this ALR parcel is still subject to the ALC Act and its regulations, and ALC staff, at this time, do not support the proposed redesignation of the property from Agricultural to Industrial. The ALC does acknowledge that the City is aware that the remaining ALR parcel will need to go through the ALC exclusion process in order to permit Industrial uses on that site and that should the City choose to forward an exclusion application to the ALC, the ALC will review the merits of the exclusion proposal at that time. The ALC also noted that the Yennadon Lands abut ALR land on the eastern perimeter, across from 232 Street and suggested that City staff should consult the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries' Guide to Edge Planning when considering the establishment of a vegetative buffer along the non-A LR /ALR boundary. Following receipt of the ALC's comments, a staff-to-staff meeting was held to gain clarity on the recent changes to the ALR exclusion request process, given the exclusion history associated with the Yennadon Land properties. Specifics related to this process are outlined in Section 5.0, Intergovernmental Implications, below. As well, City staff reassured ALC Staff that the edge planning guidelines have been considered and integrated, as appropriate, within the Yennadon Lands Development Permit Guidelines. Metro Vancouver Metro Vancouver provided comments from staff in the Regional Planning and Housing Services, Water Services, and Parks and Environment Departments. The complete letter is available in Appendix F. Regional Planning staff noted the potential need to redesignate the land regionally, given the proposed land uses under the Industrial designation, as well as the proposed process. Following receipt of Metro Vancouver's comments, a staff-to-staff meeting was held to gain clarity on the timelines associated with the adoption of Metro 2050. Specifics related to this process are outlined in Section 5.0, Intergovernmental Implications, below. Regional Planning staff also noted the need for sensitive industrial development given the surrounding non-industrial land uses, as well as the impacts of urban edge development on agricultural land. Regional Planning staff have also requested that some additional guidelines be incorporated into the Yennadon Lands Development Permit Guidelines. Where feasible, staff have made these amendments (discussed in further detail below). Water Services staff noted the importance of early engagement with Metro Vancouver's Water Services department noting the proximal impacts associated with the development of the Yennadon Lands to Metro Vancouver's mains. City staff will connect with Water Services staff, as appropriate, throughout the redesignation process of the Yennadon Lands and on a site-by-site basis through the future development application process. Parks & Environment staff note that the Concept Plan identifies a trail or multi-use pathway along the 128 Avenue side of the Yennadon Lands that is consistent with the Regional Greenways 2050 plan. Doc#3034112 Page 6 of 13 Ministry of Forests. Lands. Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNROD) Ministry staff note that the Yennadon Lands require regulation under the Provincial Water Sustainability Act (WSA) in collaboration with City staff, and offered the following guidance for future development within the area, as new development will likely change the water storage and attenuation capacity of the area. The Ministry encourages a holistic review of the site, including both environmental protection planning and integrated stormwater / drainage plans for the area with specific details noted in the latest provincial documents and resources. Ministry staff note the potential flexibility for FLNROD, the City of Maple Ridge and landowners to responsibly manage and integrate development within these areas. The full responses provided by FLNROD is available in Appendix F. City staff note the recent work conducted by the City on the Alouette River Integrated Stormwater Management Plan and provided a reminder that the typical municipal development application process does require stormwater and drainage management plans. The proposed consolidation policy, discussed below, will also assist in strengthening the ability for a development application to flexibly accommodate the provincial regulations. School District No. 42 School District No. 42 noted in their referral response that the proposed redesignation would affect the student population for the catchment areas currently served by Yennadon Elementary and Garibaldi Secondary School. The complete letter is available in Appendix F. City Engineering staff confirm that Yennadon Elementary is located approximately 200m to the east and that traffic volumes at peak school times may be a challenge at the 128 Ave / 232 Street intersection. Currently, some of the vacant properties within the Yennadon Lands are unofficially used as overflow parking for parents taking their children to school due to the congestion at drop off and pick up times. The City is actively working with the School District to address the congestion issues. Translink Translink staff note that their comments are based on their legislated mandate to review OCP amendments, as well as policy direction outlined in the Regional Transportation Strategy (RTS) and the. Transit-Oriented Communities Design Guidelines. As such, Trans link staff had the following comments: c Noting the infrequency of the bus routes currently servicing the Yennadon Lands, that it would be important for the City to provide safe, accessible, and comfortable active transportation routes from the site to both the Haney Place Bus Exchange as well as the West Coast Express at Port Haney Station; • That Translink encourages the City to improve the safety of active transportation modes surrounding the site, such as adding signalized crosswalks at key pedestrian crossings, sidewall,s on both sides of the roads along 232 Street and 128 Avenue, and improving the existing bus stops on these roads to increase the comfort and attractiveness for transit as a travel option in the area. • Noting that 232 Street is a Major Road Network (MRN), the City would be required to obtain Translink approval for any new accesses to/from the MRN. • Encourage City staff to incorporate the TDM Guidelines for New Developments in Metro Vancouver and/or develop a TDM Plan for the site. City staff have noted these comments and made the appropriate amendments to policy and development permit guidelines as appropriate. The complete letter is available in Appendix F. Doc#3034112 Page 7 of 13 2.1.2 Internal stakeholders In addition to the external organizations, referrals are sent to internal departments including Building, Economic Development, Engineering, Environment, Development, Fire, and Parks. The Yennadon Lands were identified as a potential location for future employment uses in the City's Commercial & Industrial Strategy, with the Strategy recommending that planning for the additional supply of employment land should be a high priority in order to best satisfy future demand in an increasingly competitive region. This area aligns with the intent of the current Official Community Plan policies for inclusion as employment lands, as the lands are generally flat, have access to an arterial and collector roadway, and servicing runs adjacent to the properties, as well as the City's recent Economic Development Strategy. It is noted in the Commercial & Industrial Strategy that a mixed employment campus-style business park could be a suitable form of development in this area. The Strategy recommends development with a key focus on restricting heights, while also encouraging building forms and uses that are in keeping with the surrounding residential context. It was originally noted that the Yennadon Lands could eventually serve the needs of the technology sector, light manufacturing companies, and professional offices, all of which offer a high employment density. As many City Departments were involved throughout the creation and development of the Yennadon Lands Concept Plan, internal referral comments were few, with the proposed Concept Plan largely reflecting departmental aspirations. Where relevant, internal comments also spoke to relevant external comments, including where possible further regional alignment could take place, such as through economic development and active transportation opportunities. The comments received from the Engineering Department largely pertain to future development application processes, and will be of interest to potential applicants, the referral response is Included in Appendix G. 2.2 Yennadon Lands Land Use Designation & OCP Policies In order to implement the Yennadon Lands Concept Plan, Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Appendix A, Schedule 1) introduces a new category to the existing Industrial land use designation. Some of the existing policies of Chapter 6 Employment have been updated, where appropriate, but the majority of Official Community Plan Policy Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 is proposed to integrate the Industrial Land Use Employment Park Category policies into OCP Chapter 6. The Industrial (Employment Park Category) is intended to help create a more "complete community" by providing a range of employment opportunities where local residents and future business owners can live, work and play within a five to ten minute walk or bicycle ride of their residence. In the past, industrial and commercial/residential areas have not always been good neighbours as industrial uses often bring noise, visual impacts, and large truck traffic to local areas. Therefore, the design of the employment area will be limited to business activities occurring primarily inside a building to contain nuisance noise, odour, and other negative impacts. Development will be directed in a sensitive and scaled manner so that the Employment Park is compatible with the adjoining residential neighbourhood. Through the referral process, it has been noted thatthe development and servicing of these properties will require a collective approach in order to facilitate future uses that will offer a high employment density. As such, lot consolidation policies are proposed as an amendment to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021. The intent of these policies is to ensure the development of a cohesive road network, servicing access and environmental compensation package, while being able to unlock the employment potential of these lands as flexibly as possible. The following consolidation policy amendments to the Employment Park policies are proposed: Doc#3034112 Page 8 of 13 @ That Maple Ridge will require a minimum lot consolidation of 75,000 square meters for employment park development on the eastern portion of the Yennadon Lands (Policy 6-55 b) • That Maple Ridge will require a minimum lot consolidation of 35,000 square meters for employment park development on the western portion of the Yennadon Lands (Policy 6-55 d) The complete set of policies, including proposed amendments, is included in Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, which is attached as Schedule 1 to Appendix A. 2.3 Yennadon Lands Employment Park Development Permit Guidelines In conjunction with the Industrial Land Use (Employment Park Category) policies, specific Development Permit Guidelines (Appendix A, Schedule 2) have been developed for the Yennadon Lands Employment Park, which is proposed for integration into Chapter 8, Development Permit Areas, of the Official Community Plan. The intent of these guidelines is to shape the form of development to reflect Council and community comments, while remaining flexible and open to a range of uses. The Development Permit Guidelines go through general design guidelines, such as site planning essentials, as well as specifics pertaining to site planning, landscaping, access and parking, and building design and massing. Since first reading, a number of amendments have been made to the proposed Development Permit Guidelines: • Update references to reflect the most recent guidelines, standards and bylaws. • Update of some graphics for clarity. • More specific wording relating to Access and Transportation, reflecting comments received through the external stakeholder review process. • More specific wording relating to the opportunity for trails, open space, and active transportation opportunities, reflecting comments received through the internal and external stakeholder review process. • Clarification on possible flexibility as it relates to the stormwater management and drainage strategies for the Yennadon Lands Employment Park. • New guidelines that speak to wildlife and bird friendly designs, as requested by Metro Vancouver. • Clarification regarding green roofs, and the maintenance of, as requested by Metro Vancouver. e Removal of the Live/Work possibility, given the changing market demands, intent to align with future regional land use designations, and Council's desire for no residential use in the area. • Update of the Design Checklist to reflect the proposed amendments. The complete set of Development Permit Guidelines is included in Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Policy), which is attached as Schedule 2 to Appendix A. 2.4 Yennadon Lands Employment Park Official Community Plan Land Use Map lt is intended, with the Official Community Plan Amending Bylaws that the 'Schedule B' Land Use Map and 'Schedule C' Natural Features Map will be amended to reflect the change in land use and designation. The Yennadon Lands Employment Park designation is proposed to change from 'Agricultural' to 'Industrial' and 'Conservation', as identified in the attached land use maps. Since first reading of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021, one of the Yennadon Lands properties have advanced through the development application process towards a Commercial future. As such, amendments to the boundaries of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-Doc#3034112 Page 9 of 13 2021 (Appendix B) are now required as well as the introduction of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 (Appendix C). Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7735-2021, as amended, has had two properties removed -the properties known as 12791232 Street and 23154 128 Avenue. As mentioned above, 12791 232 Street is moving towards a Commercial future through the development application approval process and has recently received third reading. Therefore, it will not be subject to the Yennadon Land policies. The property 23154 128 Avenue will now be captured under Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 and the Yennadon Land Employment Park policies and development permit guidelines will apply. The introduction of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7 838-2022 may assist with unlocking the potential of the Yennadon Lands in an expeditated manner. 2.5 Yennadon Lands Employment Park and the City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw The implementation of the Yennadon Lands Concept Plan takes place in conjunction with a new zone in the City's Zoning Bylaw, proposed as the M-7 Employment Park Industrial zone. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Appendix A) includes amendments to the zoning matrix, which identifies zones that are permitted under each land use designation, in Appendix C of the Official Community Plan. This form of matrix has been updated to reflect the new land use category proposed for this area. Given that the M-3 Business Park Industrial Zone will be used as the basis for the M-7 Employment Park Industrial Zone, it is anticipated that the minimum lot area and dimensions, density, and lot coverage will be nearly the same, or the same, as the M-3 Zone. Setbacks are proposed to somewhat differ from those in the M-3 zone, noting the close proximity of the existing residential developments abutting the Yennadon Lands. It is also anticipated that portions of the Yennadon Lands will have a lower building height in order to reflect the neighbourhood context. While originally envisioned to be part of the the Yennadon Lands Second Reading Report, the M-7 Employment Park Industrial Zone will come forward as a complementary report in the near future in order to accommodate any Council comment regarding the zone parameters, including proposed principal and accessory uses. 2.6 Next Steps Staff prepared Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Appendix A), Bylaw No. 7735-2021 and Bylaw No. 7838-2022 (Appendix B) to re-designate the Yennadon Lands for an employment future. These bylaws have been amended to reflect intergovernmental referral comments, as well as regional processes, and are proposed for second reading at an upcoming Council meeting. Figure 2 -OCP Amending Bylaw Process Intergovernmental Referrals ALC & RGS Amendments Weare here Development applications proposing employment land uses continue to be able to come before Council. Development applications are able to proceed through the development application process, Doc#3034112 Page 10 of 13 providing they align with the endorsed concept and Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 (Policy}, Bylaw No. 7735-2021 and Bylaw No. 7838-2022 (Land Use Designation). When that occurs, through these site-specific development applications, additional studies typically found through the municipal rezoning process may take place. Such studies may include geotechnical assessments, ground-water impact assessments, servicing and infrastructure studies (including drainage plans), agricultural impact assessments, environmental impact assessments (where development may encroach into some Environmentally Sensitive Areas), as well as significant tree and habitat balance assessments. Development applicants will be required to rezone to the proposed new M-7 Employment Park Industrial zone discussed in Section 2.5 above and obtain a development permit to regulate the form and character of new buildings. 3.0 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT Implementing strategic plans related to local infrastructure and the economy, including the City's commercial and industrial land base, is a Council priority as established under its Growth pillar of the 2019-2022 City of Maple Ridge Strategic Plan. 4.0 POLICY IMPLICATIONS The proposed land use re-designation of the Yennadon Lands to an employment future is supported through the recommendations of the Commercial & Industrial Strategy and the existing industrial policies in the OCP. OCP policies 6-41 and 6-42 speak to identifying additional employment lands within the City and set out compatibility criteria used to determine feasibility of new employment land. Specifically, the subject properties align with the intent of the current OCP policies for inclusion as employment lands, as the lands are generally flat, have access to arterial and collector roadways, and development servicing is located adjacent to the properties. 5.0 INTERGOVERNMENTAL IMPLICATIONS 5.1 Agricultural Land Commission In 2004, the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) permitted 12 of the 13 Yennadon Land properties to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. This was a voluntary process, so only those property owners that chose to participate went through the exclusion process. As such, one property in the northeast corner (23154 128 Avenue) of the Yennadon Lands area will need to go through the ALC exclusion process to permit employment uses on that site. In accordance with the latest provincial changes in Bill 15, the current owner will have to request that the City make this exclusion application on their behalf. Once the property owner requests an exclusion application be made, staff will bring a report before Council requesting permission to send the property to the Agricultural Land Commission to explore the possibility of exclusion. Should the property be excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve, the City will be able to move Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 through the regional redesignation process required by Metro Vancouver in order to facilitate servicing and future employment uses at this site. 5.2 Metro Vancouver The Regional Growth Strategy (RGS), titled "Metro Vancouver 2040: Shaping Our Future", manages growth by establishing growth boundaries throughout the region. The Yennadon Lands are largely Doc#3034112 Page 11 of 13 located within the Region's Urban Containment Boundary (see Appendix D) for the Region's Urban Containment Boundary). Staff note that the potential for an adjustment to the City's Urban Area Boundary was contemplated during the previous Regional Growth Strategy review in 2006 and the lands were therefore, designated as General Urban by the Region (i.e. the majority of the Yennadon Lands are within the Region's Urban Containment Boundary). However, two properties in the northeast corner are outside of the Region's Urban Containment Boundary. These properties will require a land use designation change at the Metro Vancouver level, as well as an adjustment to the Urban Containment Boundary to permit employment uses. As Metro Vancouver has been undertaking a review of the Regional Growth Strategy, Metro Vancouver staff have requested that minor amendments to the Regional Plan be held until the regional planning process has been complete. Third reading of the Yennadon Lands bylaws will be used as the spring-board for these future conversations, as Metro Vancouver has indicated support for the City's intent to provide additional employment lands in the region. According to the latest information, Metro Vancouver has recently completed a draft of the updated Regional Growth Strategy, Metro 2050. At time of report writing, Metro 2050 is intended to be presented to the regional board at the end of March, 2022 for consideration of first and second reading. If passed, letters for formal acceptance will be sent out to local governments in early May and Metro Vancouver will require local governments to pass resolutions for approval. These resolutions are due to Metro Vancouver by July, 2022. Should Official Community Plan Amending Bylaws 7734-2021, 7735-2021 and 7838-2022 receive third reading, following a public hearing, staff will move forward with the regional land use redesignation requirements to the appropriate regional growth strategy. An application by the City, to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District Board, is required to achieve regional approval to include the Yennadon Lands within the Fraser Sewerage Area for more intensive employment activities to take place at this site. The intent is to support urban level servicing and an application to the Board will be considered through this process. 6.0 INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS Community Planning staff have been working collaboratively with our Development & Environment colleagues, as well as with Engineering, Parks, Recreation & Culture, Building and Economic Development staff, on the pursuit of employment opportunities for the Yennadon Lands. It is anticipated that these departments will continue to be involved throughout the Yennadon Lands Employment Park Re-designation process. Additionally, staff from Legislative Services and Communications Departments will continue to provide support with community outreach and communication initiatives. 7 .0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The ongoing pursuit of employment lands, specifically with the Yennadon Lands Employment Park, is included in the Planning Department 2022 Work Program. CONCLUSION: The Yennadon Lands were identified as a potential location for future employment uses in the City's Commercial & Industrial Strategy. This area aligns with the intent of the current Official Community Doc#3034112 Page 12 of 13 Plan policies for inclusion as employment lands, as the lands are generally flat, have access to an arterial and collector roadway, and servicing runs adjacent to the properties. Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021 and Bylaw No. 7735-2021 received first reading on May 11, 2021. Following the internal and external referral process, the amended bylaws are before Council for consideration of second reading. The introduction of Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7838-2022 is before Council for consideration of first and second reading. These three bylaws propose to re-designate the Yennadon Lands for an Employment Park. Should Council direct, Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7734-2021, Bylaw No. 7735-2021 and Bylaw 7838-2022 would be forwarded to an upcoming Council Meeting for consideration of second reading and then forwarded to an upcoming public hearing.

CORPORATE OFFICER SCHEDULE 1 6.4.2 EMPLOYMENT PARK ISSUES • The City's Commercial & Industrial Strategy recommends planning for the additional supply of employment land in order to best satisfy future demand in an increasingly competitive region. • The Yennadon Lands are identified as a potential location for future employment use in the City's Commercial & Industrial Strategy. The impetus in identifying the Yennadon Lands for employment use was largely due to the lands being generally flat and underutilized, with the potential for urban level servicing, and located on arterial and collector roadways. OBJECTIVE • The aim of an Employment Park is to create a more "complete community" by providing a range of employment opportunities where local residents and future business owners can live, work and play within a five to ten minute wall< or bicycle ride of their residence. • In the past, industrial and commercial areas have not always been good neighbours as they have brought consequences such as noise, visual impacts, and undesirable traffic to local areas. Therefore, the design of the employment area '!Viii be limited to business activities inside the building to eliminate nuisance noise, odour, and other negative impacts. • The Yennadon Lands Employment Park is 25.4 hectares (63 acres) in the north central part of the City of Maple Ridge. It is located on the south edge of 128 Avenue and the west edge of 232 Avenue. As it is bordered by residential land uses on the south and west edges, the Commercial & Industrial Strategy recommends development with a key focus on restricting heights, while also encouraging building forms and uses that are in keeping with the surrounding residential context. POLICIES 6 -51 Maple Ridge will designate Employment Parks in areas where there is an opportunity to increase job densities. The intent for high density Employment Parks is to encourage the right type and size of employment facilities that will help increase job opportunities close to home, as new and mature local businesses to locate closer to where their employees live. 6 -52 Maple Ridge will direct development in a sensitive and scaled manner so that the Employment Park is compatible with the adjoining residential neighbourhood. 6 -53 An Employment Park will have an appropriate mix and size of employment uses to generate suitable levels of job creation, while still affording a sensitive transition to the surrounding uses. I _A. •••• Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 Chapter 6, Page 25 6-54 Maple Ridge will designate the Yennadon Lands, generally located south of 128th Ave and west of 232nd Street, for an Employment Park use. The Yennadon lands serve growing industries, that include the technology sector, light manufacturing companies, and professional offices, all of which offer a high employment density. 6-55 Maple Ridge will consider an Employment Park development for the Yennadon Lands noting that: a )The eastern portion of the Yennadon Lands Employment Park may have larger and more conventional light industrial buildings; b) Maple Ridge will require a minimum lot consolidation of 75,000 square meters for employment park development on the eastern portion of the Yennadon Lands; c) The western portion of the Yennadon Lands Employment Park will have a building form that is similar to that of a single-detached residential dwelling height and massing with generous landscape retention and reduced parking, where possible; d) Maple Ridge will require a minimum lot consolidation of 35,000 square meters for employment park development on the western portion of the Yennadon Lands; and d) Development must align with the Yennadon Lands Employment Park Development Permit Area Guidelines found in Chapter 8 of the City's Official Community Plan.

They are unique in that they direct development in a neighbourhood sensitive and scaled manner so that the Employment Park is compatible with the adjoining residential neighbourhood. In the past, industrial areas have not always been good neighbours as they have brought consequences such as noise, visual impacts, and undesirable traffic to local areas. The City of Maple Ridge wants to prevent those negative consequences as much as possible. In the case of the Yennadon Lands Employment Park, the intention is to bring the right type and size of employment facilities into the neighbourhood, so it increases job opportunities close to home and provides opportunities for new and mature businesses to locate closer to where their employees live. This approach will help residents drive less, walk and bike more, and reduce the overall greenhouse gas footprint that longer commutes create. At the same time, as reducing commuting and providing space for businesses to grow, the City wants to provide pathways and trails, as well as other natural areas and tree conservation with any contemplated development in this new Employment Park. The scale, character and size of the buildings will also be carefully reviewed to ensure they fit into the valued west coast character of the neighbourhood. Sensitive site planning, landscape buffers, and screening will help these businesses integrate better with the surrounding established residential communities. Finally, access and traffic will be limited to the arterial roads in the area so that local streets are not impacted by the development'to the extent possible. Property owners, developers, and consultants including architects, landscape architects and engineers will use these guidelines and the associated design review checklist to shape their development permit applications. City of Maple Ridge staff will measure the development permit applications submissions against the guidelines and checklist to suggest potential improvements. In the end, the City of Maple Ridge wants to make the development review and approvals process as clear and self-evident as possible to help reduce unnecessary delays and assure quality design. Most importantly, the City wants to create an outstanding and sought-after Yennadon Lands Employment Park: a local neighbourhood-sensitive employment area that all residents and businesses can be proud of as a progressive alternative to longer commutes. How to Use These Guidelines 1. A Development Permit Application will be completed that conforms to the City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw requirements and other design standards, regulations, and bylaws including but not limited to the Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw, the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, the Strategic Transportation Plan, Tree Protection and Management Bylaw, Natural Features Development Permit Application, and the Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application. 2. The four sections that follow include: a. Section 1.0 Design Administration and Framework Policies b. Section 2.0 Employment Park Design Concept and Principles describes the approved overall site development concept and the accompanying principles that guide development; c. Section 3.0 contains the specific Design Guidelines that apply to individual development parcels; and d. Section 4.0 is a summary Design Review Checklist to ensure that applicants have covered all the guidelines adequately. 3. Following staff review, amendments will be required to the Development Permit Application as conditions for approval with the intention of improving the quality of site planning and design. YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES 1.0 Design Administration and Framework Policies 1.1 Intent and Use 1.1.1 These guidelines and associated design guideline checklist will be used to guide development of the Yennadon Lands Employment Park. They will be used by the City of Maple Ridge to review and evaluate Development Permit Applications. 1.1.2 Applicants will respond to each guideline and checklist item that applies to their specific site in the context of the entire development area (see Section 4: Design Review Checklist). 1.2 Administration and Interpretation 1.2.1 The use of the term "City>' shall mean "The City of Maple Ridge." 1.2.2 Where there is conflict with other bylaws, policies, or Area Plans adopted by the City, those bylaws, policies, or Area Plans will have priority over these guidelines. 1.2.3 Where a descriptive section, illustration, or photograph accompanies a guideline, it is provided for information purposes only to enhance the understanding of the guideline. 1.2.4 Where "shall" is used in the guideline, the guideline is considered mandatory. 1.2.5 Where "should" is used in a guideline, the intent is that the guideline is strongly encouraged, but can be varied where unique or unforeseen circumstances provide for courses of action that would satisfy or generally be seen as equivalent to the intent of the guideline. 1.2.6 Where the guideline requires submission of studies, analysis, or other information, the City of Maple Ridge shall determine the exact requirements and timing of the studies, analysis, or information. 1.2.7 Bylaws, policies, and regulations will be cross-referenced where possible· in these guidelines, but it is up to the applicant to ensure that they comply _with all applicable bylaws, policies, and regulations in accordance with the City of Maple Ridge's requirements whether or not they are mentioned in these guidelines. 1.3 Development Permit Area Application 1.3.1 In accordance with Section 488 of the Local Government Act, the City of Maple Ridge is permitted to designate Development Permit Areas to create special requirements for certain forms of development, including the form and character of intensive residential, commercial, industrial or multi-family residential development, and for the protection of natural features and ecologically significant land. 1.3.2 A Development Permit Area is intended to address special development circumstances, and if a property is within a Development Permit Area, certain types of development activity cannot proceed without a Development Permit being issued by Council. 1.3.3 An Industrial Development Permit is required for all new development within the urban area on lands designated industrial on Schedule 8 of the Official Community Plan other than in those circumstances indicated in in Section 8.4 Development Permit Exemptions. The following form and YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES character guidelines apply to industrial development on this unique neighbourhood site but are not necessarily appropriate for general industrial uses. 1.4 Site Location, Size and Characteristics 1.4.1 The Yennadon Lands Employment Park is 25.4 gross hectares (63 acres) in the north central part of the City of Maple Ridge. It is located on the south edge of 128 Avenue and the west edge of 232 Street. It is bordered by residential land uses on the south and west edges. Thirteen properties make up the Employment Area. The properties range in size from 0.5 hectares (1.50 acres) up to 4 hectares (10.0 acres). 1.4.2 The west side of the Yennadon Lands Employment Park has newer urban residential homes on standard single-detached lots. On the southwest edge of the Employment Park, set back from Coho Creek, are clusters of townhomes. Along the south Employment Park of the site are older urban res.idential lots adjoining the south edge of Coho Creek. East of the Employment Park along 232 Street are large lot homes built on the Agricultural Land Reserve. North of the Employment Park on 128 Avenue are older estate lot homes. On the northeast corner of 232 Street and 128 Avenue is a Petro Canada Service Station and associated commercial uses. The Yennadon Elementary School is also located in behind the Service Station northeast of 128 Avenue and 232 Street. 1.4.3 The northern and western edges of the Employment Park have current large lot residential uses. One small farm is located in the northeast corner of the Employment Park. The balance of the site is vacant, treed1 or open fields with Coho Creek and its tributaries running through the south and central part of the site. The open parts of the site have views north to the Golden Ears mountain peaks but much of the potential views are obscured by the existing forested area. The site is relatively flat but.is punctuated by mounds and lower wet areas. Orthographic photo of site and adjoining uses YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARJ< DESIGN GUIDELINES 1.5 Watercourses and Natural Features 1.5.1 In accordance with Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all development and building within 50 meters of top-of-bank of all water features such as creeks, wetlands, ponds, or ditches, for the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Coho Creek and its tributaries run east to west and northeast to southwest through the site in the south and central part of the site. 1.5.2 Pursuant to Section 8.1 O of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit application shall be required for all development and subdivision to ensure the protection, restoration, and enhancement of the natural environment. 1.5.3 Outside of dedicated watercourse and natural feature protection areas, restrictive covenants shall be utilized to assist with protection of tree retention areas, and high risk natural hazard areas, where necessary. 1.5.4 Re-designation to a "Conservation11 land use designation within the Official Community Plan shall be required through a future rezoning application. 5/Te ANA/,,Y~/5 Summary site analysis and core Coho Creek Conservation Area 1.5.5 The City's Tree Protection and Management Bylaw will apply to the tree retention, removal, and replacement requirements for each development application as the majority of the site is covered with dense mixed forest of deciduous and coniferous trees. There are a few clusters of what appear to be significant Western Red Cedar and Hemlock tree stands near the west edge of the site. There YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES Score: 1::?,500 could also be further specimens, but a detailed tree inventory and management plan would be required to confirm their value and condition. 1.5.6 As per municipal requirements and legislative requirements of senior environmental agencies Coho Creek is fish-bearing and therefore requires a 30-meter setback with a 15-meter setback along the south side of the tributary where it abuts historical residential properties facing 126 Avenue on the east side of the site. The surrounding riparian corridor provides an important refuge to a variety of fish, wildlife and flora species and it provides an important wildlife movement corridor through the site. It helps provide greenway connections east and west and north to south as part of a larger watershed sub-catchment area. No buildings, impervious surfaces, infrastructure or site disturbance are permitted in this setback area. ,· Wildrira M0'1emenl & Signific.inl Tree Are:i 1'.221 rntegraled Waler Ma11.19emenl Area =.•::Potential Reloc.ilioil and SelbJck SPEA Reducti011 Opportunities BY:OT Yennadon Lands Employment Park Environmental Sensitive Areas Protection and Management Concept 1.5.7 The Municipal Streamside Protection Regulation setbacks are determined with the assistance of a qualified environmental professional of record. Variances, relocations, or disturbance shall require input from senior environmental agencies. Wetlands and water management areas shall be evaluated by a qualified environmental professional along with the assista_nce of the Provincial WSA and the City . . 1.5.8 Portions of these sensitive water management areas are potentially considered to be developable, but site designs must include consideration for integration of naturalized stormwater designs within these areas. Senior environmental agencies have noted a willingness to consider some development within the identified water management areas outside of protected headwater habitat YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES areas on condition there is a significant effort to retain contiguous headwater areas/wetland features and dusters of healthy trees around headwater areas. 1.5.9 There is a remnant central "islandu of land in the south-central area of the site that may be considered for the east tributary stream compensation and a reduced setback to 22.5 meters for the balance of Coho Creek. A further environmental study shall be required to confirm the merit and feasibility of the various creek management and compensation options. 1.6 Access and Transportation 1.6.1 128 Avenue connects to the Golden Ears Bridge to the west and 232 Street connects south to Abernethy and Dewdney Trunk Road. Each of these roads will provide limited access to the site and no direct single-site access. Further road-widening dedication and improvements will be required as a condition of development and appropriate road standards for interior roads. 1.6.2 Transportation Impact Assessments are required through the development application process. 1.6.3 Where possible, innovative solutions to school related congestion issues will be considered. 1.6.4 Where feasible, developments are encouraged to align with the Transportation Demand Management Guidelines for Development in Metro Vancouver, as amended, in conjunction with the City's Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw and Zoning Bylaw, as amended. 1. 7 Trails, Open space, Parks and Recreation 1. 7 .1 A gravel horse trail runs along the south side of 128 Avenue adjoining the site. There are some informal trails by residents on the western edge. There are regional and municipal plans for a comprehensive bike lane and walking path for both 128 Avenue and 232 Street in the future that will incorporate bike lanes and a sidewalk/trail network. A gravel horse trail is located along the south side of 128 Avenue and informal trails exist on the west edge of the site adjoining the residential area 1.7.2 A natural interconnected pathway and trail system is shown on the concept plan (Section 2.1) for· the site that connects to the surrounding neighbourhoods. The trails should be slightly elevated to avoid flooding and may require elevated boardwalk sections in some of the riparian areas near the stream or in particularly low wet areas. In addition, should pedestrian bridges be required, these YEN NA DON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PAR!( DESIGN GUIDELINES Ill bridges should be designed and constructed so that they create minimum disturbance in the riparian areas. 1.7.3 Where possible, trail and greenway development considered for the plan area will align and support the objectives identified in Regional Greenways 2050. 1.8 Stormwater Management 1.8.1 Any development shall demonstrate compliance with the City's stormwater management requirements as outlined in the drainage section of the City's Design Criteria Manual and in accordance with Provincial and Metro Vancouver design standards. 1.8.2 Stormwater management strategies shall be coordinated with geotechnical recommendations, environmental protection areas, and tree retention plans as protected watercourses, surrounding wetland habitat, and water management areas will be the major recipient of seasonal groundwater and stormwater runoff. 1.8.3 Green infrastructure solutions must be incorporated into the stormwater management plan. 1.8.4 Water quality treatment for runoff from roads/parking areas is required before it enters into protected setback areas and into the more sensitive water management areas zones. 1.8.5 A bio-pond is required on at least each half of the Yennadon Lands (eastern portion and western portion) to provide for community detention and water quality treatment prior to discharge to the Coho Creek or existing municipal drainage system. 1.8.6 For fish-bearing water courses, any stormwater flow shall be filtered and scrubbed via biofiltration and exfiltration on developable portions of the site before it enters into protected sensitive areas. YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES ·2.0 Employment Area Development Concept and Principles 2.1 Employment Area Development Concept 2.1.1 Complete Yennadon Lands Vision: Live, Work, and Play with Nature The intent is to create a complete neighbourhood where residents and business owners can live, work and play within a five to ten-minute walk or bicycle ride of their residence. This employment area should be uniquely smaller scaled to fit with the surrounding neighbourhood, offering the potential for a variety of smaller scaled buildings with limited building heights and sizes. Residential uses will be limited to potential work/live units in the west sector (see Development Concept Plan below). 2.1.2 Nature and Eco-Industrial Network Potential: The natural environmental area of the site will be conserved as the Coho Creek Conservation Area with the required 30 metre setback areas to buildings and trails along its edges. The employment area will be linked by trails and natural open spaces, which in turn will be connected to the adjoining communities. Businesses are also encouraged to form an Eco-industrial Network to minimize waste and optimize the "circular economy" where waste becomes a potential raw material for another local business. (see Eco-Industrial Park Handbook: https://openknowledge. worldbank.org/handle/10986/31456 and article; https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10098-016-1224-x) Yennadon Lands Employment Park Development Concept YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES Ill 2.2 Guiding Principles 2.2.1 Suitable Mix of Employment Uses: The employment area will need to have an appropriate mix and size of employment uses to generate suitable levels of job creation while still affording a sensitive transition to the surrounding residential uses. 2.2.2 Neighbourhood Business Scale and Character: The design of the employment area will be limited to business activities inside the building to eliminate nuisance noise, odour, and other negative impacts. The building form will be more of a residential height and massing in the western area with generous landscape retention and reduced parking if possible. The eastern area may have larger and more conventional light industrial buildings. 2.2.3 Innovative Mixed Uses: The development of this site may include a mix of employment uses. 2.2.4 Environmental Sensitivity: Coho Creek will be dedicated to the City and protected and enhanced with the appropriate setbacks and a progressive stormwater management system on site. 2.2.5 Trail Network: A comprehensive trail network will connect to the adjoining communities and provide a rich amenity for both the -businesses and residents to enjoy, promoting a healthy and walking/biking culture. 2.2.6 Resilience and Adaptability: This employment neighbourhood will be designed and planned so that therE3 is diversity and choice of business parcels and units so they can adopt and consolidate or expand over time. 2.2. 7 Climate-Change Responsive: The infrastructure and servicing will be designed for increased storm flows and special events. The intention is that each of the businesses will be part of a greater community that engenders environmental stewardship, E3conomic prosperity, and social responsibility as core to their values. YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES II 3.0 Design Guidelines 3.1 General Guidelines: Site Planning Essentials The following are requirements for each Development Permit Application: Parking to the side and rear of the building; visitor parking may be in front. 3.1.1 Minimize site disturbance and enhance natural features The site is sensitive to any alterations of the landscape, especially those areas adjoining Coho Creek. There shall be no disturbance within the stream setback area. Other areas with significant trees will be retained where possible and enhanced with native planting. 3.1.2 Locate building and parking to minimize impact on natural areas Buildings and required parking shall be located outside the stream setback area. Additional parking or storage areas can be completed with .pervious surfaces and surface storage to permit temporary retention, subsurface water recharge and reduce off-site erosion. Any trails or pathways should be located outside the stream setback area. 3.1.3 Locate buildings close to the streets with pedestrian access Since this area is intended to be pedestrian friendly and residential scale on the west portion of the site, buildings will be required to meet the minimum setback requirements unless visitor parking is proposed in the front yard setback. Direct pedestrian pathway access from the street and parking to the building will be required. 3.1.4 Create adequate building weather protection and passive solar gain Broad overhangs and other methods to protect the building and pedestrians shall be required as part of a genuine west coast approach to design of the buildings and landscape. 3.1.5 Locate main employee parking to the side and rear of the site Only visitor parking will be permitted in the front yard area. Other parking is required to be located in side yards or rear yards. 3.1.6 Locate storage, service and loading to the side and year of the site Storage, service and loading are required to be located to the sides or rear of the property to minimize potential conflicts with visitors and pedestrians as well as reduce undesirable visual impacts. 3.1. 7 Manage stormwater on site Rainwater management will be important so that Coho Creek will receive unpolluted water and nurture the local fish population. No excess runoff will be permitted from any site and will be retained on site in the event of a storm or other rain event in accordance with City of Maple Ridge Design Criteria Manual and environmental standards. The use of Green Infrastructure must be incorporated in to the site designs. 3.1.8 Create a landscaped strip at the front, rear and sides of site To buffer the visual intrusion of larger buildings, storage, and parking, a landscape strip will be required along the front yard, side yards a·nd rear yard. The specifications for planting, width, and fencing are included in the Specific Guidelines that follow. Landscape design plans should be coordinated with the stormwater management plan to utilize vegetation to address retention, detention and water quality. YENNADON LANDS EMPLOYMENT PARK DESIGN GUIDELINES II 3.2 Specific Guidelines and Standards These guidelines generally follow the M7 Employment Park Industrial Zone requirements within the City of Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 and may be more specific in some cases to attain the Yennadon Lands Employment Park Development Concept and Guiding Principles (Sections 2.1 and 2.2 of this document). 3.2.1 Overall Site Planning 3.2.1.1 3.2.1.2 3.2.1.3 3.2.1.4 The minimum development setback from Coho Creek is 30 metres. No buildings, improvements, or site disturbance are permitted in this setback area. The development setback area will be defined by the measurement from the top of bank of Coho Creek and require Natural Features and Watercourse Protection Development Permits. The undeveloped portion of the lot shall have all erosion and sediment control mitigation measures in place and be in compliance with the Maple Ridge Watercourse Protection Bylaw No. 6410-2006, or as amended. Developments are encouraged to incorporate Low Impact Development (LID) techniques into site planning.
