Mushata, Corporate Officer Page 10 of 183 City of Campbell River From Ille Office of the Mayor August 26, 2024 The Honourable David Eby Premier of the Province of British Columbia Via email: Premier@gov.bc.ca Dea r Premier Eby, Re: Urgent Request for Provincial Support in Addressing Homelessness in Campbell River I am writing to you on behalf of the City of Campbell River to express ou r deep concern regarding the challenges our community is facing in providing adequate temporary shelter for individuals experiencing homelessness. Provincial case law establishes the obligation of loca l governments to provide an adequate location for overnight camping (temporary shelter) for unhoused persons. However, the sites currently available on City land are limited and do not fully meet the needs of the community or the individuals who require these services. For a location for overnight temporary shelter to be adequate, it must be relatively close to services and supports typically accessed by individual experiencing mental health, substance use and other health conditions who are also homeless. The location of these services in Campbell River is primarily in the downtown core. The provincia l decision to place these services in proximity of residential, commercial, cultural and recreational assets means the City has very limited options in terms of land availability outside of parking lots, and high value Parks and green spaces enjoyed by our residents and visitors. Considering these challenges, we respectfully request that the Province of British Columbia take immediate action by making provincially regulated land available for temporary overnight camping in Campbell River. We understand the provincial position on use of sites such as off season use of the Quinsam campgrou nd given that the aim is to have such assets available for the recreating public and not set precedent for their use as alternative housing. However, the City would respond that these camp sites are not used during the off season and are typically closed; moreover, the City faces the very same challenge when it comes to use of our Parks and green spaces but is nonetheless forced to move forward with this under the circumstances. The availability of provincial land would greatly enhance our ability to provide safe and appropriate spaces for those in need. In that instance, the City would agree to provide all necessary services includi ng fencing, portable washrooms, garbage bins and removal, contract security, bylaw enforcement and ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, we ask that the province provide additional funding to expand our winter shelter program. By doing so, we can reduce the demand for temporary overnight shelter, especially during colder 301 St. Ann's Road, Campbell River, B.C. V9W 4C7 Phone (250) 286-5700 Fax (250) 286-5760 Page 11 of 183 months, and ensure that those without permanent housing have access to safe, warm, and secure environments. We would also like to explore funding availability to establish a Homeless Encampment Action Response Team (HEART) to better integrate the response of the City, RCMP and service providers to homelessness and complement our partnership on the HEARTH rapid housing initiative. The City of Campbell River is committed to working collaboratively with the provincial government to address the pressing issue of homelessness in our community. We believe that with the province's support, we can make significant progress in providing the necessary resources and spaces to meet the needs of our most vulnerable residents. We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, Kermit Dahl Mayor Page 12 of 183 ForestryWorksforBC.ca July 29, 2024 Mayor and Council City of Maple Ridge 11944 Haney Pl. Maple Ridge, BC, V2X 6G1 Sent Via Email: druimy@mapleridge.ca RE: ForestryWorksforBC Dear Mayor Ruimy and Maple Ridge Council Members, We are writing to local governments across British Columbia to introduce the ForestryWorksforBC campaign, a new grassroots initiative to raise awareness about the critical role forestry plays in the well-being of rural and urban communities. ForestryWorksforBC is a group of forest-based organizations and companies, representing more than 1,000 businesses engaged in all aspects of British Columbia’s forestry sector. We are proud to stand up for tens of thousands of workers and their families who are concerned about the future of forestry in British Columbia. This campaign includes the voices of regular British Columbians who have sent letters to provincial leaders sharing their personal stories, as well as a range of other organizations and companies that have played a part in building British Columbia’s forest sector. We believe that a better and brighter future in this province needs a strong forest sector. Forestry matters in every corner of BC. From hospitals to schools, roads, and communities, forestry has been the foundation of all that we hold dear in this province. Forestry is a renewable sector – and it has been a thriving sector while harvesting just a fraction of one percent of the forest land base each year. But the future of forestry in BC is uncertain. Harvest levels have dropped by 42% since 2018 and half of BC’s mills have been lost in the last two decades. Today, harvest levels have fallen to less than 60% of the sustainable allowable annual cut (AAC) set by the province’s chief forester. When access to the AAC is unreliable, harvest levels drop, government revenues for critical services decline, and the impact reaches every British Columbian. Here are a few quotes from voices across the province: • “I don't see a future in my industry in BC… It kills me to leave this province as my family all live here. My wife is a nurse… her hospital is severely understaffed and will cry to see another hole to fill.” • “As businesses disappear, so do the jobs and many small communities have nothing to replace them with. The communities themselves become unstable.” Page 13 of 183 ForestryWorksforBC.ca • “I am 24 years old… I used to think this was a career I could cherish but I can no longer see myself pursuing a lifelong career in forestry.” • “Our province is losing some of its most productive workers, successful contractors, and essential investment dollars every day.” Through the ForestryWorksforBC campaign, people are rallying their voices to let our provincial leaders know these impacts are too much and that, without reliable and timely access to the AAC, we have a lot more to lose than mills. The momentum is growing in communities. Mayor Kermit Dahl of Campbell River raised concerns in a public letter to the minister for forests; the Kamloops council has recognized a critical need to support forestry through a forestry-focused resolution submitted the Union of BC Municipalities convention this fall; and Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dollen Logan and George Lampreau, chief of the Simpcw First Nation near Barriere were joined by the mayors of McBride, Prince George, and Valemount to voice their concern over the crisis in the forest sector. We ask that you include a discussion of this important topic on your next council agenda and consider joining other communities in sending a letter to provincial representatives to let them know that ForestryWorks for your community too.

Across the province, small, medium and large forest companies, family-owned enterprises and local businesses have joined forces through ForestryWorksForBC, a new grassroots initiative to address the sectors’ uncertain future and its impact on British Columbians and communities that rely on the revenues from forestry to support critical services like roads, schools, and health care. “Forestry matters in every corner of B.C., from hospitals, schools and roads and communities; forest jobs and forest revenues have been the foundation of all that we hold dear in this province,” said Bob Brash, executive director of the Truck Loggers Association. “Ensuring reliable and timely access to the allowable annual cut (AAC) means we can build aƯordable, climate-friendly homes for British Columbians; and we can keep people in their homes and communities with good paying jobs.” In the last 20 years nearly half of all B.C. sawmills have closed. Some of this is the result of natural forces like wildfire and mountain pine beetle but increasing policy changes and escalating complexity have created instability and reduced cutting permits and investment. Today harvest levels are less than 60 per of the AAC set by the Province’s chief forester. Dean Garofano, president and chief operating oƯicer at Delta Forestry Group, has been conducting crew talks across the company and hanging posters around the mill to build momentum for the campaign. “Our workers see the lack of logs coming in, and they are concerned about the future not just for themselves but the communities they call home,” said Garofano. “This initiative gives everyone who cares about forestry and the future of this province a voice – when BC’s forest sector does well, we all do better.” - 30 - For More Information: Visit: www.forestryworksforbc.ca Email: hello@forestryworksforbc.ca Page 17 of 183 September 10, 2024 [ Regular Council ] Page 1 of 1 AP Disbursements July 2024 Recommendation: That the disbursements as listed below for the month ended July 31, 2024 be received for information.

Report purpose and Summary Statement: To provide housekeeping amendments to Council for consideration regarding Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 Previous Council Action: Council adopted Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 on December 9, 2020, and has since had five housekeeping amendments presented to and endorsed by Council. Strategic Alignment: Governance & Corporate Excellence Applicable Legislation/ Bylaw/Policy: Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 Page 31 of 183 September 3, 2024 [Committee of the Whole] Page 2 of 5 To: Mayor and Council File Number: [2024-194-RZ] Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 Housekeeping Amendments BACKGROUND: Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 was adopted by Council on December 8, 2020, and has been well received for its ease of use, clarity, and detail by the public and by staff. The Zoning Bylaw is a large, very complex and detailed document that regulates development in the City, and it is important to provide clear, concise language that can be easily and consistently interpreted by all users. As can be expected for a Bylaw of this size and complexity, some additional minor corrections and clarifications have been identified. Thus, these housekeeping amendments to Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 are provided for Council consideration in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 8006-2024, attached as Appendix A. Refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendments to the Zoning Bylaw. In summary, the text amendments are minor in nature and include the following: (Note: The numbering below corresponds to the clause numbers in the attached Zone Amending Bylaw. For ease of use, refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendments in the Zoning Bylaw.) 2. Revisions to the definitions for Crematorium and Funeral Services and the zones where permitted. A site specific exemption is included for an existing crematorium located at 11696 216 Street which is zoned C-2. 3. Minor revisions in Part 4 to clarify that Infill Development refers to development on an existing lot, and to include cross references to other section requirements. 4. Revisions to clarify the permitted uses for a Shipping Container located on a lot during construction. 5. Revisions to clarify Siting Exceptions for architectural and other features that project beyond the building face are permitted to encroach into the setback area when a Development Variance Permit is approved. 6. Revisions to reformat Section 405.4 (Fence Requirements), and to clarify the requirements for a Fence on top a Retaining Wall. 7. Revisions to clarify the Albion Density Bonus requirements in the RS-1d Zone. 8. Revision to the M-3 Business Park Industrial Zone to include a cross reference to Section 402.27 (Caretaker Residential). 9. Revision to the C-3 Town Centre Commercial Zone to delete the requirement that Apartment as a principal use is limited to the Town Centre Area, as identified on Schedule “C” of the Zoning Bylaw. Page 32 of 183 September 3, 2024 [Committee of the Whole] Page 3 of 5 As per the Local Government Act, Section 464(2), when a Zoning Bylaw is consistent with the Official Community Plan, the City may waive the requirement to hold a Public Hearing. When a Public Hearing is waived under Section 464(2), the City must then give notice in accordance with Section 467 of the Local Government Act which requires that the notice states the purpose of the Zoning Bylaw; the lands that are subject of the Bylaw; the place, times and dates where the Bylaw may be inspected; and is published in a newspaper the same as for a Public Hearing. Through this process, the Public Hearing was waived for the previous Housekeeping Zoning Bylaw Amendments. It can be expected that additional changes to the Zoning Bylaw will continue to occur from time to time as it is used, and as new situations and needs arise in the course of normal business. ANALYSIS: Discussion: On December 8, 2020, the new Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 was adopted by Council. Since then, five housekeeping amendments have been adopted by Council. On February 22, 2022, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7749-2021 was adopted, on July 26, 2022, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7827-2022 was adopted, on February 14, 2023, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7894-2022 was adopted, on January 30, 2024, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7928-2023 was adopted, and on June 25, 2024, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7996-2024 was adopted. Planning Analysis: The clause numbers in the following discussion of the amendments are in the same numerical order as the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 8006-2024 (Appendix A). For ease of use, refer to Appendix B for a markup of the amendments in the Zoning Bylaw. Clause 2: Revisions to the definitions for Crematorium and Funeral Services to identify them as two separate uses and to restrict the location of Crematoriums to the M-3 and M-5 Industrial Zones where emissions from the facilities would not be in proximity to residential areas. For clarity Funeral Services is included in the definition of Assembly which is a use that allows for the assembly of persons for a range of activities in Commercial and Institutional zones. A site specific exemption is included for an existing Crematorium located at 11969 216 Street which is zoned C-2 (Maple Ridge Funeral Chapel & Crematorium). Clause 3: Minor revisions in Part 4 (General Regulations) to clarify that Infill Development refers to development on an existing lot, and to include cross references within Part 4 of the Bylaw for Building Envelope, Highest Building Face and Prohibited Uses requirements. Clause 4: Revisions to clarify the permitted uses for a Shipping Container located on a lot during construction as a Temporary Building for use as an Office, Sales Centre or for equipment storage. Clause 5: Page 33 of 183 September 3, 2024 [Committee of the Whole] Page 4 of 5 Revisions to clarify that Siting Exceptions for architectural and other features that project beyond the Building Face are permitted to encroach into the setback area (with the same limitations that apply to the unvaried setback) when a Development Variance Permit is granted by Council for a reduced Building Setback. Clause 6: Revisions to Section 405.4 (Fence Requirements) to: a. reformat the Fence Height requirement section for clarity; b. replace Setback with Yard (e.g. front setback to front yard); c. increase the maximum fence height for Rear Yards to 2.0 metres where the side lot line is adjacent to a road in Residential and Commercial Zones; and d. clarify the requirements for a Fence on top a Retaining Wall. Clause 7: Revisions in the RS-1d Zone to clarify the Albion Density Bonus requirements exclude three requirements in the RS-1b Zone which don’t apply to the Density Bonus. Clause 8: Revision to the M-3 Business Park Industrial Zone to include a cross reference to Section 402.27 (Caretaker Residential). Clause 9: Revision to the C-3 Town Centre Commercial Zone to amend the principal use Apartment Residential by deleting the requirement that apartment use is limited to lots within the Town Centre Area (TCA), as identified on Schedule “C” (Town Centre Area Plan) of the Bylaw. CONCLUSION: The text amendments are minor in nature and include revisions to: Crematorium and Funeral Service uses; Infill Development; Shipping Container uses; Siting exceptions for projecting architectural features; Fence requirement clarifications; Albion Density Bonus clarification; Addition of cross references within the Bylaw; Apartment use as a principal use in the C-3 zone. It is recommended that first and second reading by given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 8006-2024, and that a Public Hearing be waived in accordance with the Local Government Act Section 464(2).

The property is located west of existing single detached residential properties and north of the one of the City’s newest Parks, Tsuyuki Park, which includes a spray park, sports court and scooter track. This application proposes rezoning the subject property to the RS-1b zone (see Appendix B for Bylaw) and utilizing the Albion Density Bonus to permit a four lot subdivision, comprised of the residential R-1 zone sized lots (minimum 371 m2 in lot area) and Park-Conservation land that includes the ravine and adjacent flat portion of the site transferred to the City as a fee simple lot (see Appendix C for Preliminary Subdivision Sketch Plan). The adjacent subdivision to the east has been developed under the same zoning with similar lot sizes. The proposed four residential lots front onto 112 Avenue but will have vehicle access from a rear lane which is an extension of an existing lane accessed from 242A Street. Proposed Lot 1 has a unique shape to accommodate the required environmental setback to Seigel Creek and to retain a significant spruce tree in the setback area. A turnaround area off the lane is proposed to ensure sufficient vehicle access to Lot 1. The provided subdivision layout is strictly preliminary and could change after servicing details and analysis reports are reviewed. Planning Analysis: This application was received on December 28, 2023, and is subject to the new combined Development Procedures which were adopted by Council on July 25, 2023, under Development Procedures Amending Bylaw No. 7931-2023. Additionally, in compliance with Provincial Bill 44 and the Local Government Act, a Public Hearing may not be held for this application as it has not received first reading and is a residential rezoning application which is consistent with the City’s Official Community Plan. Official Community Plan The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low/Medium Density Residential (66%) and Conservation (33%) (see Appendix D for OCP designations). The Low/Medium Density Residential designation supports the proposed development under the RS-1b zone utilizing the Albion Area Density Bonus to R-1 zone sized lots. To meet the requirements of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit and 5% Park subdivision dedication regulations this application requires lands to be dedicated to the City for Park-Conservation purposes. A portion of these Park-Conservation lands are currently designated Low/Medium Density Residential in the City’s Official Community Plan (OCP) and are located outside of the environmental setback designated as Conservation. As per Section 401.2 of the Zoning Bylaw, a Park use, defined as a use providing land set aside for public use, is permitted in all Zones, including the existing RS-3 zoning to remain on the Park-Conservation lot; therefore, an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw and OCP is not required for this area. Given this, an OCP Amendment Application, including a Public Hearing, is not being required to redesignate the Low/Medium Density area to Conservation. This new approach will only Page 52 of 183 September 3, 2024 – Committee of the Whole Page 5 of 9 apply when there is a net gain to the City in terms of land being dedicated to the City, protection of riparian areas, or additional to parkland which are of benefit to the community. This application includes a positive gain to the City through Park-Conservation dedication (Lot 5) as shown on the Image 1 below. The Park-Conservation dedication is approximately 5,859 m2 in area, which represents 71.6% of the gross lot area. Image 1: Current OCP designations of 24177 112 Avenue with Proposed Subdivision Overlay Page 53 of 183 September 3, 2024 – Committee of the Whole Page 6 of 9 Zoning Bylaw The proposed subdivision plan includes four residential R-1 zoned sized lots which all exceed the minimum required lot area of 371m2 and provide a building envelope having dimensions of 8m x 12m. These proposed R-1 zoned lots are required to be a minimum of 12.0m in width and 30.0m in depth due to the frontage onto 112 Avenue which is classified as a Municipal arterial road. Proposed Lot 1 will require a Development Variance Permit for a reduced lot depth of 27.37m to accommodate required environmental setbacks. The lot area of Proposed Lot 1 (535 m2) exceeds the requirements of the R-1 zone (371 m2). Driveway access to 112 Avenue, which is classified as a Municipal arterial road, is not permitted and vehicle access to the properties must be from the rear lane. Proposed Variances A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations: Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019 (Part 12, Section 1202.1.2 – Minimum Lot Area and Dimensions) To reduce the required minimum Lot Depth of lots adjacent to a Municipal arterial road from 30.0m to 27.37m for Proposed Lot 1. The proposed variance to Lot 1 is supported by staff and ensures an adequate environmental setback to Seigel Creek while providing a sufficient building envelope for the proposed lot. The requested variance will be the subject of a future Council report. Development Permits Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit is required for this application as Seigel Creek flows within and/or adjacent to the property. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Parkland Requirement As there are more than two additional lots proposed to be created, the application will be required to comply with the park subdivision dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to subdivision approval. For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as Park-Conservation on the subject property. The Park-Conservation land is required to be dedicated to the City as a fee simple lot as a condition of Final Reading. Advisory Design Panel This application is not required to go to the Advisory Design Panel as it is a Rezoning and Subdivision application. Development Information Meeting A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application as it proposes fewer than five residential lots. Page 54 of 183 September 3, 2024 – Committee of the Whole Page 7 of 9 Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department The Engineering Department has indicated that the following servicing upgrades will be required through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement: Road dedication as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. Utility servicing as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-1993. Frontage upgrades to the applicable road standard. Environment Section A Watercourse Protection Development Permit is required for this application. A Streamside Protection Enhancement Area (SPEA) setback from the Seigel Creek will apply to this development and will be delineated by post and rail fencing. Those areas within the SPEA and the proposed Park-Conservation dedicated area outside of the SPEA north of the lane that are disturbed or in poor health are required to be restored and/or enhanced by the planting of native trees and shrubs along with the removal of invasive plan species. The SPEA and the proposed parkland will be required to be transferred to the City as a fee simple lot for Park-Conservation as a condition of this rezoning application. A significant large spruce tree located within the SPEA of the property, identified as Tree #884 in the provided Arborist Report by Central Valley dated June 5, 2024, has been identified by staff to be retained during development. To prevent disturbance to the root system of this tree, a Tree Protection Covenant will apply to Lot 1 and additional protection measures will be required during excavation of the site. Two of the nine surveyed trees with a DBH of 20cm of greater and located within the SPEA were assessed by an Arborist as Poor-Dead/Dying and are planned for removal. Parks Department The trail connection along 112 Avenue is to connect to both sides (east/west). The sidewalk design will be reviewed by staff to address issues with gravel migration to sidewalk, comments from local cycling groups and to improve overall pedestrian connectivity in the area.

The applicant’s submission for subdivision does not conform with the goals of the City’s Agricultural Plan. This report evaluated the merits of this subdivision proposal within the policy context of the Official Community Plan (OCP). Based on this analysis, the recommendation is to not support the subdivision of this ALR property and not support forwarding this application to the Agricultural Land Commission.

The applicant is seeking to subdivide the property in order to separately farm the resulting two parcels. This application will be evaluated as a standard subdivision application in the ALR. Typically, these applications are not supported, based on the policies of the Official Community Plan (OCP) and recent decisions by the ALC on subdivision applications. Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan On November 14, 2006, Council adopted the OCP, which contains supportive agricultural policies. On December 19, 2009, Council adopted an Agricultural Plan to support agriculture within the rural area and the ALR. The merits of this application will be viewed within this policy context, as summarized below: OCP Section 6.2.2 Sustainable Agriculture Policy 6-12 states: Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by: a) Adopting a guiding principle of “positive benefit to agriculture” when making land use decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favorable recognition of initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land Reserve; b) Requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability; c) Preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads, topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing or gradually reduced residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land; d) Discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated; Page 73 of 183 September 3, 2024 (Committee of the Whole) Page 4 of 6 e) Reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural Residential; f) Encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more cohesive parcels. Policy 6-12 discourages the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, supports increasing the minimum parcel size of ALR properties with Rural Residential zoning, and encourages land assembly to create larger farm parcels. The reasons for discouraging subdivision within the ALR are that subdivision tends to increase speculative activity within the ALR, thereby increasing the market value of farmland, and exacerbating the issue of economic barriers to entry for new farmers; and reducing properties farming potential by reducing parcel size. For the above noted reasons, this application does not comply with the Agricultural policies of the OCP. Agricultural Plan Issue 5 of the Agricultural Plan summarizes concerns with the loss of agricultural land base, describing the following situations that are pertinent to this application: Many small parcels High level of rural residential incursion into Agricultural Land Reserve Non-farmed areas of the Agricultural Land Reserve tend to be smaller parcels Continued conversion pressure from the District of Maple Ridge’s urban growth Financial pressure on farming The Agricultural Plan also notes that more recent priorities given to food safety, food security and climate change, includes the development of a local food system. Towards this end, the community would benefit from greater certainty that the agricultural land base is not compromised by incremental land use decisions that reduce agricultural potential. Ministry of Agriculture Research provided by the Ministry of Agriculture in their inventory work validates concerns raised in the Agricultural Plan about small lot sizes. In short, it states that evidence exists that small parcels are less likely to be farmed and further subdivision will encourage more non-farm use of ALR land. Engineering Department The Engineering Department would review this proposal for its servicing requirements as part of the Subdivision application, should ALC approval be granted. ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS: The recommendation is not to forward this application to the ALC, based on the above noted policies. With this option, the application will be considered denied and will not proceed further. Page 74 of 183 September 3, 2024 (Committee of the Whole) Page 5 of 6 Council may choose to forward the application to the ALC. With this alternative option, the ALC will evaluate this application and make their decision accordingly. Should this application be approved by the ALC, a Maple Ridge subdivision application will be required. CONCLUSION: The application has been evaluated for its consistency with the policies of the OCP, and its implications for the Agricultural Plan. This application does not comply with this policy framework. On this basis, the recommendation is that this application for subdivision within the ALR not be supported.

The subject property is zoned CS-1 (Service Commercial), which supports the Highway Commercial use and this will not change with this application. The development permit made to the City is subject to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan (OCP), Commercial Development Permit. Project Description: A Commercial Development Permit application has been received to allow exterior alterations and an addition to the existing building and property, located at 23213 Lougheed Highway. The renovation will include upgrading the facility to energy efficient lighting and fixtures, and adding eight (8) EV charging stations, to support the transition to EV passenger vehicle sales and service. The renovations include an increase in floor area from 1708 sq.m. (18,384 sq. ft.) to 1968 sq.m. (21,183 sq. ft.) with the upgrades noted above. All parking requirements are being met or exceeded by this application proposal. Planning Analysis: The subject property is subject to Section 8.5 of the OCP, “Commercial Development Permit Area Guidelines”. The proposed development responds to the guidelines for this permit area as follows: Guidelines: 1. Avoids conflict with adjacent uses through sound attenuating, appropriate lighting, traffic calming and the transition of building massing to fit with adjacent development. - Existing project with no adjacent development, and this application is for a minor addition and façade improvements. 2. Encourage a pedestrian scale through providing outdoor amenities, minimizing the visual impact of parking areas, creating landmarks and visual interest along street fronts. - New pedestrian scale entry is being provided into the existing building. Additionally, upgraded sidewalk access to the new visitor parking is being provided with added EV charging and handicap stalls. 3. Promote sustainable development with multimodal transportation circulation, and low impact building design. - This is an existing building, however, additional EV support will be provided with the proposed upgrades. 4. Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential areas. - There is no adjacent residential uses at this location which include adjacent park, vacant land and the highway. Page 82 of 183 September 3, 2024 [Committee of the Whole] Page 4 of 5 5. The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features, materials, proportions and building articulation. - New cladding with earth tones and organic panel geometry is being installed, replacing the existing stark white paneling. Advisory Design Panel This application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on July 17, 2024, and the Panel had no additional landscaping or architectural comments for this project. CONCLUSION: This development permit application is for an existing commercial building off Lougheed Highway at Tamarack Lane. Staff have reviewed the proposal’s compliance with the Commercial Development Permit Guidelines of the OCP for form and character, and it is recommended that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Permit 2024-069-DP respecting property located at 23213 Lougheed Highway.

The 2024 Update provides an updated understanding of the current housing needs present in Maple Ridge. Previous Council Action: N/A Financial Impact: N/A Funding Source: N/A Strategic Alignment: Liveable Community Climate Impact: N/A Communications: The community engagement for the 2024 Housing Needs Report included three engagement events over January to March 2024. Applicable Legislation/ Bylaw/Policy: The 2024 Housing Needs Report was initiated due to provincial changes brought in to effect in November 2023. Page 99 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 1 of 5 To: Mayor and Council File number: 13-6440-20 2024 Housing Needs Report BACKGROUND: In 2023, the Provincial Government, via Bill 44 – Housing Statutes Act, updated the legislative requirements of municipal housing needs assessments to include the following additional considerations: The number of housing units required to meet current and anticipated need for the next 5 and 20 years, as calculated using the HNR Method provided in the Regulation; A statement about the need for housing in close proximity to transportation infrastructure that supports walking, bicycling, public transit or other alternative forms of transportation; and, A description of the actions taken by the local government, since receiving the most recent Housing Needs Report, to reduce housing needs. All local governments are required to complete an Interim Housing Needs Report by January 1, 2025. In 2023, the City of Maple Ridge retained Urban Matters to undertake the update to the City’s Housing Needs Report. The 2024 Housing Needs Report is an update to the City’s 2021 Housing Needs Report in accordance with the changes to the Provincial legislation and is considered as the ‘Interim Updated’ requested by January 1, 2025. The 2024 Housing Needs Report provides an updated understanding of the current housing needs present in Maple Ridge and is included as an Attachment. ANALYSIS: Discussion: The 2024 Housing Needs Report (HNR) indicates that the current housing crisis is impacting a cross- section of demographics in Maple Ridge, including those who rent, own, are in public housing, or are experiencing homelessness. The HNR reports that the income-to-housing cost disparity in the City is continuing to increase, low rental vacancy rates are restricting housing choices, and ownership tenure continues to drive development even while being inaccessible to growing numbers of current and prospective residents. These factors contribute to high rates of households experiencing core housing need or that are otherwise unable to access housing (e.g. younger households are not forming due to cost and availability of housing). This pressure is also adversely impacting a number of equity-deserving groups in the community (e.g. senior households, Indigenous households, immigrants and newcomers, etc.). Please see the attachment for the detailed key findings and statements of need. A few highlights have been provided below. Key Findings: Page 100 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 2 of 5 The City of Maple Ridge has been rapidly growing and is growing at a faster rate than the overall Metro Vancouver region, with a population of approximately 90,990 as of 2021. The local housing environment is still primarily ownership-based with 79% of all dwelling units being owned and 21% being rented. The affordability gap between income and housing costs has continued to increase since the 2021 Housing Needs Report. Since 2011, the cost of homeownership has increased by approximately 250% on average, and monthly rents have increased by approximately 89%, while household median incomes have only increased by 36%. As of 2021, the seniors age cohort (65+) comprises 16% of the overall population with a total of 14,615 individuals. By 2033, seniors are projected to account for 19% of the population, increasing by 7,916 more seniors. There are also growing equity concerns for several demographics struggling with rising housing costs. There are several demographics that are at a particular high risk of experiencing core housing need, including renter households led by someone who in Black (43%), single mothers (43%), Refugees (40%), seniors (65+) (38%), Women (35%), and those under 25 years old (35%). Statements of Need: The 2024 Housing Needs Report projects that Maple Ridge needs nearly 28,000 new units by 2043, including 6,100 new rental units. o This includes nearly 1,700 affordable units to address extreme core housing need and 392 units to address homelessness. o In the next 5 years, approximately 8,700 units are needed and an additional 6,500 units will be needed by 2034. o More than two thirds (67%) of the total units required to meet projected and latent demand are driven by projected community growth. The growing gap between income and housing costs is disproportionately impacting young people, seniors, single people, single parents, and lower income families who are at a higher risk of Core Housing Need. o As of 2021, an estimated total 4,160 households are in Core Housing Need, 2,180 of which are owner households and 1,980 of which are renter households. o Core Housing Need is projected to increase to nearly 5,700 households by 2028, with 47% of those households being owners and 53% being renters. o Core Housing Need is a two-step indicator that describes households that are experiencing unaffordability, inadequate housing, and/or living in housing that is in need of serious repair. Significant rent increases, low vacancy rates, and limited primary rental market units are putting strain on the rental stock in Maple Ridge. o As of 2023, the purpose-built rental vacancy rate was 1.3%. o This low vacancy rate coincides with a significant increase (63%) in monthly rent prices for purpose-built rentals since 2017. Families are experiencing pressure from increased housing cost. o As of 2024, owner households that include couples with children earning the median income for their family type can only afford the cost of a condominium unit without being in Core Housing Need. These households have affordability gaps between $2,800 to $5,200 for townhouses or single detached dwellings. o Owner-lone-parent households cannot afford the cost of any owned dwelling unit without being in Core Housing Need. Page 101 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 3 of 5 Seniors, more often than other demographic groups, require housing that meets specific standards. For many seniors living on a fixed-income housing, options are limited. o By 2028, seniors will account for 18% of the population, increasing by 4,666 seniors, which will further increase by an additional 3,250 seniors by 2033 to a total of 22,633. o More accessible and supportive housing is needed across a continuum of need (from independent living to care homes) to accommodate an aging demographic. In addition, wraparound services will become increasingly important to support aging in place. Maple Ridge is located on the traditional territory of the Katzie First Nation and Kwantlen First Nation. o As of 2021, Maple Ridge is 4.7% Indigenous, accounting for 4,205 individuals who identify as Indigenous. o In 2021, 26% of Indigenous renter households were in Core Housing Need, and 12% of Indigenous owner households experienced Core Housing Need. Homelessness by all available sources is increasing in Maple Ridge and across the region. The available data comes from two primary sources. o The point-in-time (PiT) count, conducted by the Homeless Services Association of BC provides a 24-hour snapshot of visible homelessness across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows (Ridge Meadows) every three years since 2005, indicates that visible homelessness has increased by 61% since 2014 for a total of 135 individuals across Ridge Meadows. o The Provincial Integrated Data Project (IDP), which assesses the number of individuals with no fixed address (NFA) in BC who are accessing the shelter system and/or accessing income or disability assistance and aggregates the total number of people experiencing homelessness across the region to each municipality-based proportion of the regional population, approximates that 392 individuals are experiencing homelessness in Maple Ridge. Public Engagement: The community engagement for the 2024 Housing Needs Report included three engagement events: Virtual Engagement with the development and non-profit community – January 24th, 2024 Community Stakeholder Workshop in Council Chambers – February 1st, 2024 Community Open House at the Maple Ridge Public Library – March 7th, 2024. Throughout the engagement, key issues emerged such as the need for more rental housing, seniors housing, and supportive housing. A more streamlined development approval process was also noted as a key opportunity to accelerate the development of affordable and market housing. Please see the Community Engagement Summary at the end of Appendix A for more information. Strategic Alignment: Updating the City’s Housing Needs Report is an initiative under the Liveable Community Pillar of the 2023-2026 Strategic Plan. Applicable Legislation/Bylaw/Policy: The 2024 Housing Needs Report was initiated due to provincial changes brought in to effect in November 2023 under Bill 44 – Housing Statutes Act.

The 2024 Housing Needs Report provides an updated understanding of the current housing needs present in Maple Ridge. In 2023, the Provincial Government, via Bill 44 – Housing Statutes, updated the legislative requirements of municipal housing needs assessments to include the following additional considerations: • An updated method for projecting dwelling units; • A long-range OCP capacity assessment, using dwelling unit projections to 20 years and a calculation of current underlying need; • A description of actions taken to reduce housing need since the last Housing Needs Report; • A statement regarding housing need near specific transportation infrastructure that supports transit, walking, and bicycling. These changes are in support of municipalities being prepared to accommodate the provincial priority to plan for increasing housing supply and diversity to create an affordable housing environment that works for everyone.

The population as of 2021 is 90,900 and is growing at a faster rate than the overall Metro Vancouver region. The population is housed in approximately 33,105 households with an average household size of 2.7. The local housing environment is still primarily ownership-based, with 79% of all dwelling units being owned and only 21% being rented. Overall Housing Need The City of Maple Ridge, like much of the region, and many other parts of BC, is currently experiencing a housing crisis. Accounting for projected growth, reducing homelessness, eliminating suppressed households, eliminating extreme core housing need, and increasing rental vacancy rates, approximately 27,778 new housing units are needed by 2041. These units will need to range from deeply subsidized to new market rental and ownership housing. A significant need over the next 20 years is increasing the availability and affordability of rental housing, specifically purpose-built rental housing. This report has identified that approximately 6,100 new rental units will be needed by 2043, an approximate doubling of the current purpose-built rental supply in Maple Ridge. Figure 1. Population and Household Statistics Overview Figure 2. Projected Household Growth by Tenure (Does not account for additional housing need components: vacancy rate, suppressed households, core housing need, homelessness, and a demand buffer) iv City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary iv City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary Page 108 of 183 Affordability Gap The affordability gap between income and housing costs has continued to increase since the 2021 Housing Needs Report. Based on the median income of households in Maple Ridge there is a significant affordability gap for most family types. The analysis of homeownership and rental affordability in Maple Ridge illustrates that earning the median income for each family type is likely not enough. For any median income earning household, except for couples with children and expanded families, living in core housing need (CHN) is likely the reality with average ownership and rental housing costs. Since 2011, the cost of homeownership has increased by approximately 250% on average, and monthly rents have increased by approximately 89%, while household median incomes have only increased by 36%. Home ownership is largely unaffordable for census families earning the median household income. For non-census families, such as people living alone, all rental housing is considered unaffordable at the median income. Table 1.

Extreme Core Housing Need)Exteme Core Housing Need Total Core Housing Need Figure 3. Core Housing Need, 2016 - 2021 by Tenure Adequacy: To be considered adequate, housing must be reported by residents as not requiring any major repairs. Affordability: To be considered affordable, housing costs must be less than 30% of total before-tax household income. Suitability: To be considered suitable, housing must have enough bedrooms for the size and composition of the household, according to National Occupancy Standard requirements. Housing standards—affordability, suitability, and adequacy—are important when identifying areas of housing need in a community. Core Housing Need identifies households whose housing does not meet the minimum requirements of at least one of the adequacy, affordability, or suitability indicators and would have to spend 30% or more of their total before- tax income to pay the median rent of alternative local housing that is acceptable (meets all three housing standards). Core Housing Need is widely understood to be an underrepresentation of actual housing need. Some households are more likely to be in Core Housing Need than others. As of 2021, 29% of renter households and 8% of owner households are in CHN. CHN remained stable for owner households since the last Census (2016) but decreased by 8% for renter households. However, the decrease in CHN for renter households is likely artificial and may largely be attributed to the impact of the Canada Emergency Relief Benefit, which significantly boosted the income of low-income renters during the 2020 reporting period.1 1 https://hart.ubc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Understanding-2021-Core-Housing-Need-Data.pdf vi City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary vi City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary Page 110 of 183 Demographics and Housing Need As of 2021, the seniors age cohort (65+) comprises 16% of the overall population with a total of 14,615 individuals. By 2033, seniors are projected to account for 19% of the population, increasing by 7,916 more seniors. Seniors, more often than other demographic groups, require housing that meets specific standards. For households led by seniors approximately 16% are in Core Housing Need. There are also growing equity concerns for several demographics struggling with raising housing costs. In general, renter households are at a higher risk of being in core housing need. For households led by a member of an at-risk demographic group, the impact is even more severe. There are several demographics that are at a particular high risk of experiencing core housing need, including renter households led by someone who in Black (43%), single mothers (43%), Refugees (40%), seniors (65+) (38%), Women (35%), and those under 25 years old (35%). What does this mean? Maple Ridge is experiencing an aging population, like many communities in Canada. This indicates a potential need for additional seniors supports, including wraparound services that support aging in place, and additional seniors housing options, ranging from indepen- dent living to assisted living and long-term care options. 13% 14% 12% 12% 12% 11% 10% 16% 21% 9% 17% 21% 26% 29% 35% 35% 38% 40% 43% 43% 0%5%10%15%20%25%30%35%40%45%50% HH head Over 85 New Migrant HH Indigenous HH Visible minorities led-HH HH head Under 25 Women-led HH HH head Over 65 Refugee led-HH Single mother-led HH Black-led HH Renter HHs in CHN Owner HH in CHN Figure 4.

Based on this methodology, in order to meet anticipated demand and eliminate the current housing crisis, Maple Ridge needs nearly 28,000 new units by 2041. This includes nearly 1,700 affordable units to address extreme core housing need and 392 units to address homelessness. In the next five years, approximately 8,700 units are needed, and an additional 6,500 will be need by 2034. More than two-thirds (67%) of the total units required to meet projected and latent demand are driven by projected community growth (Component D). Table 2.

However, the Demand Buffer is included in Total Units Needed. Affordable Housing Housing affordability is a key issue across the Metro Vancouver region. In Maple Ridge and across the region, the disparity between income growth and housing costs is increasing. As of 2021, an estimated total 4,160 households are in CHN, 2,180 of which are owner households and 1,980 of which are renter households. Core Housing Need is projected to increase to nearly 5.700 households by 2028, with 47% of those households being owners and 53% being renters. This growing gap between income and housing costs is disproportionately impacting young people, seniors, single people, single parents, and lower income families who are at a higher risk of CHN. It is estimated that to address extreme core housing need, an additional 1,700 affordable units will need to be produced by 2041. 5 Adapted using data from Section 4.0 Note that tenure-based projections more than 5 years out from base year are not considered reliable and have not been included in the totals. 6 Analysis undertaken by Urban Matters. Methodology outlined in Appendix C: Vacancy Rate Adjustment. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report ix Executive Summary City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report ix Executive Summary Page 113 of 183 Rental Housing Significant rent increases, low vacancy rates, and limited primary rental market units are putting strain on the rental stock in Maple Ridge. As of 2023, the purpose-built rental vacancy rate was 1.3%. A healthy vacancy rate is generally considered to be between 3% and 5%, which enables people to have greater mobility options across the rental housing market. This low vacancy rate coincides with a significant increase (63%) in monthly rent prices for purpose-built rentals since 2017. Increasing rents and low vacancy rates across the City indicate the local and potential renters have limited choices when moving within or to Maple Ridge. The City needs more affordable rental units, whether through subsidized units, government-operated, or rent supplements for market rentals. Housing for Families Families are experiencing pressure from increased housing cost. For example, as of 2024, owner households that include couples with children earning the median income for their family type can only afford the cost of a condominium unit without being CHN. These households have affordability gaps between $2,800 to $5,200 for townhouses or single detached dwellings. Owner-lone-parent households can not afford the cost of any owned dwelling unit without being in CHN. Renter households that include couples with children earning the median income for their family type can afford the monthly shelter costs for a two-bedroom apartment but cannot afford a three-bedroom apartment without spending for than 30% of their income on housing. Renter-lone-parent households cannot afford the cost of housing for two-bedroom or three-bedroom apartments without being in CHN. To ensure families can relocate to and stay in Maple Ridge a significant focus on larger rental units such as 2-bedroom and 3-bedrooms may be needed. A total 2,758 new three-bedroom units and 1,617 projected two-bedroom units are projected to be necessary by 2033 to account for the growing number of families. Housing for Seniors Seniors, more often than other demographic groups, require housing that meets specific standards. Additionally, for many seniors living on a fixed-income housing, options are limited. By 2028, seniors will account for 18% of the population, increasing by 4,666 seniors, which will further increase by an additional 3,250 seniors by 2033 to a total of 22,633. More accessible and supportive housing is needed across a continuum of need (from independent living to care homes) to accommodate an aging demographic. In addition, wraparound services will become increasingly important to support aging in place. x City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary x City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Executive Summary Page 114 of 183 Housing for Indigenous Households Maple Ridge is located on the traditional territory of the Katzie First Nation and Kwantlen First Nation. As of 2021, Maple Ridge is 4.7% Indigenous, accounting for 4,205 individuals who identify as Indigenous. In 2021, 26% of Indigenous renter households were in CHN, and 12% of Indigenous owner households experienced CHN. Notably, the proportion of Indigenous owner households experiencing CHN increased by 4% since 2016. For Indigenous renter households CHN decreased by 13%, likely due in part to the Canadian Emergency Relief Benefit that was provided during the pandemic. Housing near transit By locating housing near transit multiple cross-sectional objectives can be met. These include accelerating the transportation mode shift to sustainable modes, ensuring people have equitable access to their daily needs, and reducing monthly household costs by reducing motor vehicle dependency. In 2023, the Province amended the Local Government Act to require municipalities to permit greater densities near transit. In Maple Ridge this will take shape through the densification of the Lougheed transit corridor and transit-oriented areas at the Maple Meadows and Port Haney West Coast Express Stations. Homelessness Homelessness by all available sources is increasing in Maple Ridge and across the region. The available data comes from two primary sources. The point-in-time (PiT) count conducted by the Homeless Services Association of BC provides a 24-hour snapshot of visible homelessness across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows (Ridge Meadows) every three years since 2005. The Provincial Integrated Data Project (IDP) assesses the number of individuals with no fixed address (NFA) in BC, who are accessing the shelter system and/or accessing income or disability assistance. The IDP aggregates the total number of people experiencing homelessness across the region to each municipality-based proportion of the regional population. The PiT count indicates that visible homelessness has increased by 61% since 2014 for a total of 135 individuals across Ridge Meadows, while the IDP approximates that 392 individuals are experiencing homelessness in Maple Ridge.

In Maple Ridge, rapidly increasingly sales prices and rents, alongside low vacancy rates are negatively impacting both owners and renters. The cost of housing is increasing at a rate significantly higher than increases to incomes. Additionally complex social issues such as homelessness and systemic discrimination are putting additional strain on marginalized demographics to attain and maintain adequate housing. These factors have created a housing environment in the region, and Maple Ridge, that is unsustainable, unless decisive action is taken. The 2024 Housing Need Report has been prepared to better understand the City’s local housing context to support the development of the 2024 Maple Ridge Housing Strategy. Provincial Legislation In April 2019, new provincial legislation amended the Local Government Act, establishing a requirement for local governments to complete housing needs reports by April 2022. In 2023, the Province further amended the Local Government Act via multiple legislative changes with aims to radically transform and accelerate the development of housing across the Province. The legislation stipulated that municipalities were to update their Housing Needs Reports by December 2025 to include several new aspects, notably projecting key housing needs out to 20 years and to better understand capacity of their official community plans. 1.0 16 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Page 120 of 183 1.1 Understanding the Housing Network The Housing Network illustrated below is an adaptation of the concept of a housing continuum. The Housing Network was originally conceptualized in the City’s 2021 Housing Needs Report, and includes a full range of housing types and tenures that should be available in a healthy housing system. The Housing Network considers housing in two general categories: market housing and non-market housing. Market housing typically includes market ownership and market rental, while non-market housing includes emergency accommodation, supportive housing, and non-market rental housing. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 17 Introduction Page 121 of 183 1.2 Work Undertaken Since 2021 Since the City’s 2021 Housing Needs Report, the City has completed and is currently undertaking several housing initiatives to increase housing supply, affordability, and inclusivity, and to streamline the development approval process. This work includes but is not limited to the following. • Reducing off-street parking requirements for certain properties in the Central Business District (2024) • An update to the Tenant Relocation Policy (2023) • Expansion of the Detached Garden Suite program (2023) • An update to Density Bonusing Policy for affordable housing (2023) • An update to Community Amenity Contribution program (2022) • Expanding the Support Recovery Housing in Residential Areas program (2021) 1.3 About the Data Housing Needs Reports look at a combination of statistical data and community and stakeholder input to create a comprehensive picture of housing needs in a community. The legislative requirements for these reports require that municipalities collect approximately 50 types of data about current and projected population, household income, economic sectors, and current and anticipated housing stock (reported in the demographic and housing profile sections). This assessment and report exceed these requirements by also conducting engagement with community stakeholders and including an affordability gap analysis for various types of renter and owner households. 1.3.1 Quantitative Data Sources This report contains quantitative data from the following sources: • Statistics Canada 2006, 2011, 2016, and 2021 Censuses • Statistics Canada 2011 National Household Survey • Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation • BC Housing • BC Assessment • BC Statistics • Greater Vancouver Real Estate Board • Integrated Data Project • Homelessness Services Association of BC 18 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Introduction Page 122 of 183 1.4 Community Engagement The development of this report included community engagement to better understand the current housing barriers and opportunities for improvement through housing policy. The community engagement for the 2024 Housing Needs Report included three engagement events as listed below: • Virtual Engagement with the development and non-profit community – January 25th • Community Stakeholder Workshop – February 1st at City Hall Council Chambers • Community Open House – March 7 at the Maple Ridge Public Library. Through out engagement key issues emerged such as a need for more rental housing, seniors housing, and supportive housing. The need for a more streamlined development approval process was noted to be a key opportunity to accelerate the development of affordable and market housing. For further detail on the engagement findings refer to Section 5.0 and Appendix A. 1.5 How to use this Report The 2024 Housing Needs Report is intended to provide a fulsome understanding of the housing environment in Maple Ridge as of 2024. This document was developed alongside the 2024 Maple Ridge Housing Strategy to ensure the City is able to make data-informed decisions on how best to combat the current housing crisis. This Report provides a snapshot in time and is intended to be updated at least every five years so that the City may monitor trends in housing and continually address short- and long-term issues. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 19 Introduction Page 123 of 183 2.1 Population Growth Maple Ridge is a rapidly growing municipality, with the fourth highest growth rate of Metro Vancouver municipalities. Between 2016 and 2021 the city grew by 10.6%, adding 8,734 new residents. The rate of increase is 3.3% higher than the growth rate experienced across the Metro Vancouver Region. In the past 15 years the city has added an average of 7,347 new residents every five years, growing 68,949 in 2006 to a total 90,900 in 2021. 0 10,000 20,000 30,000 40,000 50,000 60,000 70,000 80,000 90,000 100,000 68,949 2006 76,052 2011 82,256 2016 90,990 2021 Figure 5.

The population of individuals aged 65 years and older grew by 5% from 2006 to 2021. At the same time the proportion of youth in the City aged below 25 years have decreased in by 4%. This trend is reflective of a broader aging trend at the provincial and federal levels. What does this mean? Maple Ridge is experiencing an aging population, like many communities in Canada. This indicates a potential need for additional seniors supports, including wraparound services that support aging in place, and additional seniors housing options, ranging from independent living to assisted living and long-term care options.

The average household size has remained the same since 2006 at 2.7 persons per household. By housing tenure, the average household size for renter households is 2.2, while the average household size for owner households is 2.8.

Current household growth is being driven by owner households which accounted for 74% of all new households between 2006 and 2021, and 72% between 2016 to 2021. When compared to the region, the city has a significantly higher proportion of owner households and less renter households. In 2021, Metro Vancouver region was composed of 38% rental households, 17% higher than the rental composition in Maple Ridge. Figure 8.

As housing costs in Metro Vancouver continue to grow, fewer households are able to purchase, meaning that new household formation is more likely to be driven by renters. Consideration should be given to the need for new purpose-built rental housing, as well as exploration of additional, more affordable forms of home ownership (e.g. denser forms of housing and equity co- operative housing). City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 23 Demographics City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 23 Demographics Page 127 of 183 Housing Profile The housing profile provides a comprehensive snapshot of housing in Maple Ridge as of this writing. This section highlights key trends in housing over the past two decades including household income, the evolution of housing supply across the City, and the rising cost of housing. A key aspect this section presents is the different affordability realities that owner and renter households experience on average. Section 3.3 highlight the existing affordability gap for both tenures. Section 3.4 provides an understanding of the types of households that are in Core Housing Need, a two-step indicator that describes households that are experiencing unaffordability, inadequate housing, and living in housing that in need of serious repair. 3.0 24 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Page 128 of 183 3.1 Income in Maple Ridge 3.1.1 Household Income Over Time The median income of Maple Ridge residents increased by 22% between 2016 and 2021. Notably, while the median income levels in Maple Ridge are typically 13-19% higher than the Metro Vancouver region, incomes in Maple Ridge are increasing at a slower rate. Figure 9.

From 2006 to 2016, owner household income increased 15%, while renter household incomes only increased 9%. From 2016 to 2021 renter household income increased 43%, while owner household incomes only increased 20%. The Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) was introduced in 2020 to support those whose employment was adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The CERB provided $2,000 per month to individuals which substantially boosted the median incomes of low-income households, which is reflected in the higher-than-normal increase in the 2021 National Census data. What does this mean? Median income for renters in Maple Ridge is about half that the median income for owners. This means that not only do many renters likely not have the opportunity or means to purchase, as rental costs rise they may face increasing affordability pressures. Renters in 2021 faced a rate of core housing need (29%) nearly triple that of owners (10%). This indicates a strong need for addition rental supply to reduce prices, and the need for additional affordable rentals across a range of price points, from deeply subsidized to low-end of market. 26 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile 26 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile Page 130 of 183 Figure 11 illustrates how household incomes are distributed by tenures in Maple Ridge. The data shows owner and renter households are oppositely distributed with 46% of owner households earning more than $125,000 and 55% of renter households earning less than $70,000. Owner households are typically older, meaning they are further along in their respective careers, and include less single-person households which accounts for significant portion of the difference. 34% of renter households are earning less than $45,000 indicating that to achieve affordable housing they would likely need to find a below-market option. 34% 21% 13% 16% 12% 3% Under $45,000 $45,000-$69,999 $70,000-$89,999 $90,000-$124,999 $125,000-$200,000 $200,000 and over 12% 13% 10% 19% 30% 16% Renters Owners Figure 11.

As shown in Figure 12, the overall composition of housing types is 53% single family, 15% apartment in a building that has five or fewer storeys, 13% apartment or flat in a duplex, 13% row houses, 3% semi- detached homes, and 3% apartment in a building with five or more storeys. Between 2016 and 2021, the city increased denser forms of infill housing, reducing the composition of single-family homes by 3%. Figure 13 shows the total number of residential dwelling units completed from 2016 to 2021, and percent increase of each form of housing. Development in the City has focused on missing middle housing, including row houses, duplexes, and low-rise apartments. Row houses were the most common form of development in the City with 790 additional units. Single-detached housing development remained prominent in the City adding an additional 585 new homes.

As of 2021, 29% of the City’s stock was built prior to 1980. Typically, after 40-50 years residential buildings have a higher chance of being redeveloped. However, purpose-built rentals typically have a longer lifespan due to municipal and provincial rental controls. The purpose-built rental housing stock is significantly older than the overall housing stock. 43% of the purpose-built rental stock was built prior to 1981. Figure 14.

Average Sale Prices in Maple Ridge Source: Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver 2023 3.2.4 Owner Housing The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports average sale prices for the total housing market, detached units, townhouses, and apartments. The data uses REBGV’s propriety benchmarking MLS® HPI Home Price Comparison Index. This report has taken the average of the REBGV’s reported monthly average home sale prices for the months of June and December from 2011 to 2022. Between 2011 and 2022 the average sales value of homes in the City increased by approximately $600,950 or 251%. What does this mean? With the cost of all forms of ownership housing seeing rapid increases across Metro Vancouver and British Columbia over the last ten or more years, incomes have not risen to keep pace. This means that many forms of ownership are increasingly unattainable for many households in Maple Ridge (see Section 3.3.2), and points to the need for further housing options across the continuum, including more market rental housing to address current needs, and more affordable forms of ownership housing. 32 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile 32 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile Page 136 of 183 3.2.5 Rental Housing Stock The City has seen an increase in primary rental units in recent years, with a total net increase of 353 units since 2005. This does not include non-market housing units, secondary suites, and privately rented units. Since 2017, most of the rental housing development has been 1-bedroom units. There has even been a reduction of 3-bedroom units. Since 2017 the number of units completed by unit size is as follows: • 207 1-bedroom units; • 77 2-bedroom units; and • 3 bachelor (studio) units; • 3 3-bedroom units. The cost of renting in Maple Ridge has significantly increased over the past ten years. Between 2010 and 2023, the median monthly rent in the City increased by 89%. While between 2011 and 2021, there was only a 36% increase in median incomes. The cost of a three-or-more bedroom unit increased by $1,052 or 97%. The median monthly rent for unit size only slightly increased between 2010 and 2017; however, between 2017 to 2023 median monthly rents increased significantly. This trend is reflective of a regional increase in rent cost. In Maple Ridge this trend impacted the cost of larger units more, with studio units only increasing 45% between 2010 and 2023. 11 25 22 716 765 972 407 442 519 92 72 69 0 200 400 600 800 1000 200 5 200 6 200 7 200 8 200 9 201 0 201 1 201 2 201 3 201 4 201 5 201 6 201 7 201 8 201 9 202 0 202 1 202 2 202 3 Bachelor 1-bedroom 2-bedroom 3-bedroom Figure 18.

To ensure no one is left behind it is important to have transitional housing that fills the widening gap between emergency shelters and market rental units. In 2023, there were approximately 498 housing supports for those either experiencing homelessness or needing to use emergency shelters. The majority (281) of these units were in the form of homeless rent supplements, while only 25 were emergency shelter beds. There were approximately 255 transitional supported or assisted living options served in the City in 2023. The majority (192) of these of units were for special needs, 51 units were for supportive seniors housing, and 12 were for women and children fleeing. In 2023, there was a total of 496 rent assistances in the market. Most (398) of the rental assistance units were for seniors, while 86 were for families, and 39 were through the Canadian Housing Benefit. As Maple Ridge continues to increase its seniors demographic providing more housing supports (both rent supplements and new units) will be important to capture those seniors who can no longer afford market rents. 192 281 25 Emergency Shelter and Housing for the Homeless Homeless Housed Homeless Rent SupplementsHomeless Rent Supplements Homeless SheltersHomeless Shelters 51 192 12 Transitional Supported and Assisted Living Supportive Seniors Housing Special Needs Women and Children Fleeing Violence 86 398 39 Rent Assistance in the Private Market Rent Assist Families Rent Assist Seniors Canada Housing Benefit Figure 21.

Affordability in this context is defined as when a when a household is spending 30% or less of their pre-tax income on housing costs. Costs such as hydro, property tax and utility fees were included in the calculation. Table 2 and Table 3 show the difference between different family types can afford to pay for housing for different housing types. • Green indicates that family type, based on median income, can afford to spend 30% or less on the specific housing type. • Orange indicates the family type, based on median income, would need to spend 30% to 50% of their income on the specific housing type. • Red indicates the family type, based on median income, would need to spend more than 50% of their income on the specific housing type. It should be noted that the analysis is based on the median income of a range of different household types. For the ownership analysis, it is also assumed that home owners are entering the ownership market for the first time. 3.3.1 Owner Affordability Ownership is most unaffordable for non-census families, which largely consists of individuals living alone. For non-census families, no form of homeownership is considered affordable at the median income and would require households to pay more than 50% of income on housing costs in order to purchase even the most affordable unit type. For median-earning lone parents and couples without children, again, no form of home ownership is considered affordable at the median income; however, lone-parent families face significantly more housing pressures due to the fact that they are single-income households and therefore have lower incomes than all other median-earning family household types. Median-earning couples with children living at median income can afford the average cost of a condominium but likewise cannot spend 30% or less on large more traditional forms of family housing. Notably only other census families can afford a townhouse, which is likely due to having three or more adults contributing to the total median household income. This data indicates that there is a serious ownership affordability crisis in Maple Ridge, with very few family structure being able to transition from renting to ownership without significant financial hardship. 36 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile 36 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile Page 140 of 183 Table 3.

The analysis presented in Table 3 represents only purpose-built rentals. A significant portion of purpose-built rental housing is aging stock and is therefore more affordable. Newer purpose- built and secondary market rental units are likely more expensive9. This means that the affordability analysis for rental housing likely under-represents the true affordability issues in the City. Non-census families, primarily individuals living alone, still are unable to spend 50% or less on housing costs for any type of rental unit. This means that for any non-census family currently living in the City or prospective residents who are earning the median income for their family structure, living in extreme core housing need (ECHN) is the only option in Maple Ridge. For lone parent households, who require 7 For owners, shelter costs include, as applicable, mortgage payments (principal and interest), property taxes, strata fees, and pay- ments for electricity, fuel, water and other municipal services. For the purposes of this exercise mortgage payments are calculated using a 25-year amortization, with 5.6% five-year fixed interest, and a 10% downpayment. Mortgage costs do not include any other shelter costs 8 Incomes are adjusted to 2024 estimates using historical growth rates. 9 As of 2023 there were 1,579 purpose built rental units tracked by CMHC in Maple Ridge, and in 2021 there were 6,910 renters. This means that purpose-built rental only served about 23% of all renters in Maple Ridge in 2023. However, little data is available about the vacancy rate and cost of renting in the secondary rental market.

Couples with and without children, and non-census families are able to afford 2-bedroom apartments, however only other census families are able to afford 3-bedroom apartments. Table 4.

For any median income earning household, except for couples with children and expanded families, living in core housing need is the reality. 10 For renters, shelter costs include rent and basic utility costs. 11 Incomes are adjusted to 2024 estimates using historical growth rates. Renter incomes are also adjusted to reflect that medi- an-earning rental households in Maple Ridge earn about 60% of the median total household income for the community.

Communities throughout Canada use these standards as indicators to identify issues and make improvements related to housing. A household meets the housing standards when the following conditions are met: • Adequate housing does not require any major repairs. • Affordable housing has shelter costs equal or less than 30% of total before-tax household income. • Suitable housing has enough bedrooms for the size and composition of resident households according to National Occupancy Standard (NOS) requirements. Core housing need (CHN) is a two-step indicator. A household is in CHN when it does not meet one of the above indicators and cannot afford alternative suitable and adequate housing in their community. Extreme CHN is a subset of households in core housing need. This refers to those households in core housing need who are spending more than 50% of their total before-tax household income on housing. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 39 Housing Profile City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 39 Housing Profile Page 143 of 183 3.4.1 Core Housing Need Core housing need for renters was reported to decrease between 2016 to 2021: 37% or 2,215 of Maple Ridge renters experienced core housing need in 2016 compared to 30% or 1,980 households in 2021. However, during this period the cost of median rents increased. The reported decrease in core housing need is likely to be cause by an artificial depression of core housing need statistics amongst renters, due to CERB. The CERB benefit supported some of the lowest-income households in communities across Canada, and this income support likely decreased housing pressures for these households.12 Core housing need amongst owner households remained comparable at 9%. 12 https://hart.ubc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Understanding-2021-Core-Housing-Need-Data.pdf 4% 23% 5% 19% 4% 14% 3% 11%8% 37% 9% 30% Owner Renter Owner Renter 2016 2021 Core Housing Need (excl.

Unsurprisingly, for households that earn low income and very low income they experience CHN at rates of 46.4% and 78.7%, respectively. For households earning moderate incomes only 17% are in CHN.

Figure 26 illustrates the different rates of CHN in renter households that subsidized and unsubsidized by income category. Unsurprisingly, renter households that are within the same household income category that do not receive any rent subsidies experience higher rates of CHN. For very-low-income renter households that do not receive any rent subsidies 91% are in CHN compared to 68% that do receive rent subsidies. The CHN gap narrows between subsidized and unsubsidized households as each earns a higher annual income, likely due less subsidies being available and for a reduced total amount for higher income households. 44 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile 44 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile Page 148 of 183 Figure 27 shows equity-deserving populations that may be at high risk of experiencing CHN.

The study aggregates the Cities of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows together, as Ridge Meadows. The PiT Count method provides a 24-hour snapshot of the minimum number of people experiencing homelessness across Ridge Meadows. The 2023 PiT counted 135 individuals who were experiencing homelessness, as shown in Figure 28. There are currently 105 shelter beds in Maple Ridge. Participation relies on an individual being found; either staying in a transition house or shelter or found on March 8th by an interviewer. If they are not found or did not attend a community event to complete the survey, these individuals would not be counted. Youth, seniors, Indigenous and racialized persons, those in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and those who do not access homelessness services are populations understood to be underrepresented in the Count. The provincial government has also undertaken an Integrated Data Project (IDP) to assess the number of individuals with no fixed address (NFA) in BC, who are accessing the shelter system and/or accessing income or disability assistance. The most recent published data from this project was released for 2021, and shows an estimated 11,392 residents of Metro Vancouver have no fixed address. If this population were distributed equally across the region based on per capita population shares in each municipality, Maple Ridge’s share would be 3.4% of this total, as Maple Ridge represents 3.4% of the region’s total population. This amounts to approximately 392 individuals experiencing homelessness in Maple Ridge. 46 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile 46 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Housing Profile Page 150 of 183 4.0 Community Growth 4.1 Population Projection The City is projected to continue experiencing rapid population growth. Between 2021 to 2028, the City’s population is projected to grow by 16% to total 108,561 residents (Figure 29). Between 2021 to 2033, the City’s population is projected to grow by 26% to a total 118,250, up from 93,628 residents in 2021. To accommodate the projected population growth the City is projected to add approximately 6,532 net new households by 2028 and a total 10,624 by 2023 (Figure 31). Figure 29.

The median age in the City is expected to initially decrease from 40.9 in 2021 to 40.5 by 2028 then increase to 41.2 by 41.2. Figure 30 shows the nominal change in age-cohorts. It is projected that by 2033 there will be approximately 7,916 more seniors in the City and only approximately 4,151 new residents aged 0 to 24 years of age. 4.2 Household Projections Section 4.2 describes how household growth is likely to evolve in the City including growth by tenure, family type, and unit sizes. It is important to understand the future demand on the housing market to inform policy related decision-making processes today. 4.2.1 Household Growth Scenarios This report presents two approaches to population growth projections for the City. The first approach is based municipally specific growth statistics for the City and the second approach is based on Metro Vancouver growth trends. Approach 1 –BC Stat Local Approach The household projection for the City of Maple Ridge developed by BC Stats is used to determine the household growth in the City following the projected local trajectory of population growth and household size in the City. Figure 30. Projected change in age composition of population, 2021 to 2023 Source: Derived from BC Stats Population Projection and Statistics Canada, Census 2021 1,845 1,427 879 12,555 6,455 1,461 0 2,000 4,000 6,000 8,000 10,000 12,000 14,000 0 to 14 years 15 to 19 years 20 to 24 years 25 to 64 years 65 to 84 years 85 years and over 48 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Community Growth 48 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Community Growth Page 152 of 183 Approach 2 – BC Stats Regional Approach The household growth of the City of Maple Ridge is assumed to follow the rate of growth in the number of households at the Metro Vancouver level. First, the projected households for Metro Vancouver are extracted from BC Stats household projection. The projected rate of change in number of households at regional level each year is applied to the household projections at the City level. The projected household growth under local trajectory exceeds the regional trajectory by 2%, as shown in Figure 31. This report focuses on the projected growth local trajectory. The projected household growth for the regional trajectory is presented for reference only. The projection used in Figures 31 and 32 assumes household formation patterns remain unchanged from the Census 2021 data across all age groups. Historically, there has been a trend that the proportion of renter households increasing among all households, from 19% in 2006 to 21% in 2021. Suppressed household formation (i.e., households that could have been formed but not able to do so due to housing shortage) is not included in the estimates but discussed in Section 4. 39,979 44,081 47,667 50,920 33,447 35,468 39,610 43,301 46,646 49,757 33,000 35,000 37,000 39,000 41,000 43,000 45,000 47,000 49,000 51,000 53,000 2021 2023 2028 2033 2038 2043 Local Scenario Regional Scenario Figure 31.

The proportion of renter households is projected to slightly increase to 22% by 2028 and remain steady at least until 2033. By 2028, it is projected that there will be an additional 1,663 new renter households and 1,599 new owner households, compared to 2021. By 2033, there is projected to be a total 2,549 new renter households, and 8,805 new owner households. Although the proportion of owner households is projected to slightly decrease by 0.8%, new residential development will still be dominated by owner households with 76% of new development being owner tenure.

It is anticipated that couples without children and non-census families will drive demand for studio and 1-bedrooms. Couples with children, lone-parents, and other census families will drive the demand for larger units such as 2-bedroom and 3+ bedroom units. Table 6. Projected Demand for Household Size by Family Structure Source: Derived from BC Stats Population Projection and Statistics Canada, Census 2021 Studio and 1-bedroom 2-bedroom 3+ bedroom Couple without children 100%0%0% Couple with children 0%36%64% Lone-parent family 0%58%42% Other Census family (e.g., households with multiple Census families, multigenerational households, etc.) 0%32%68% Non-Census-family (e.g., individuals living alone or with roommates) 89%9%2% Table 7 indicates the projected number of units by unit size that will be needed to accommodate population growth. Notably, approximately half of all units needed are projected to be studio or 1-bedroom units. 2-bedroom units are projected to account for 19% of the demand, while 3+ bedroom units are anticipated to account for 32%. It must be noted that only family structures such as couples without children and non-census families are suitable for studio and 1-bedroom units, they may increasingly want larger units for a variety of reasons such as a work from home or flexible space. Given that many family structures that are suitable to a studio or 1-bedroom units may desire larger living spaces, this reports projections may underestimate the demand for 2-bedroom units. What does this mean? Table 7 indicates the total number of units that households require based on National Occupancy Standards (NOS). This means that these figures represent the minimum needed number of units at each size to meet the needs (not the desires) of households. For example, couples with children may be able to afford and prefer a two-bedroom unit; however, under NOS they only require a one-bedroom unit. As such, these unit estimates should be viewed as guidelines or indicators of the minimum number of family-sized units required to meet housing need in Maple Ridge.

The projection is done for the Approach 1 - BC Stat Local Approach only. While the proportion of households in core housing need appears to have dropped in 2021, it is important to note that income support programs were still in place in 2021 while the Census collection period was in progress, including those transferred from the Canadian Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) to Employment Insurance (EI), the Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB), the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit (CRSB), and the Canada Recovery Caregiving Benefit (CRCB). These income support programs inflated the income data, meaning that the core housing need indicator reported in Census 2021 could underestimate the number of households spending 30 percent or more of household income on shelter and the number of households in core housing need. As a result, the historical averages of proportion of core housing needs over the past four Census periods are used to reflect a more realistic description of the core housing needs in Maple Ridge as observed in the past and recent years. 52 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Community Growth 52 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Community Growth Page 156 of 183 Table 8.

The 2024 Housing Needs Report was developed alongside the 2024 Housing Strategy which allowed for engagement with the public and interest groups to provide feedback for the current barriers that face Maple Ridge residents. In total, three engagement events were held in early 2024, which saw engagement with a total of 33 individuals, not including engagement with city staff and council. The three events included the following: Virtual Engagement with the development and non-profit community – January 25th Three (3) participants Community Workshop – February 1st at City Hall Council Chambers Twelve (12) Participants Community Open House – March 7 at the Maple Ridge Public Library Eighteen (18) participants Throughout the engagement activities, key issues emerged such as a need for more rental housing, seniors housing, supportive housing, and the need for a more streamlined development process that reduces red tape for developers. In general, we heard that housing is unaffordable for people earning an average wage, particularly for individuals living alone, and other at-risk demographics. 54 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report54 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Page 158 of 183 Engagement Findings Rental Housing We heard that the community members want action to be taken in the short-term to see more affordable and supportive housing options on the market as soon as possible. Participants stated that the City needs to explore innovative ways to ensure developers are incentivized to build rental projects. We heard that in addition to more rental housing, attendees noted that rental housing should be focused near transit and where existing amenities are. Seniors Housing We heard that is too easy for seniors to slip through the cracks in the housing continuum. That there is not a one-size fits all support seniors. We heard that the need for safe, affordable, and accessible housing for seniors is significant, and that an additional range of supports are necessary for a diverse aging demographic. More housing for seniors is need and it was heard that while some developments are initially aim at seniors they transition to general supportive housing by the end of development. It was noted that seniors may be a higher risk of renovictions. During the open house it was noted that more people, including seniors, are looking for roommates to less the financial strain of the high cost of housing. Supportive Housing We heard that the housing continuum is not working for many demographics across the City. The connections between emergency shelter to supportive housing to market housing are not apparent to someone moving through the continuum. Participants noted that mental health can have a significant impact on an individual’s ability to navigate the range of services and supportive provided by different agencies and businesses. We heard that similar to seniors, youth have a hard time accessing services, especially when they age out of youth services, but still require support. Housing Development Process From the development community we heard that parking can often be the largest barrier to providing housing that is attainable for most people. We also heard that the desire for lower development cost charges, a more transparent and understandable density bonusing scheme, and less prescriptive site design requirement. Participants noted that overly prescriptive tree bylaws and public realm design requirements often limit a developer’s ability to provide higher density and more affordable housing. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 55 Enagement Findings City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 55 Enagement Findings Page 159 of 183 6.0 Conclusion To combat the housing crisis of affordability and availability in Maple Ridge, it is important to understand the demand currently present in Maple Ridge today, in addition to household projects discussed in Section 4.2. This section uses components of need to calculate how many units are required to address housing need and demand over the coming 5 to 20 years. 56 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Page 160 of 183 6.1 Affordable Housing Affordability is a key issue across the Metro Vancouver region for renter and owner households. In Maple Ridge, from 2011 to 2021 household median incomes increased 36%, while the median monthly rent has increased 89% and average sale prices by 251%. The disparity between income growth and the cost of housing in Maple Ridge is increasing, meaning that even the median income household is being priced out of their community. As of 2021, 1,980 or 29% of renters are in core housing need, with 705 renter households (10%) in extreme core housing need, compared to only 8% and 3% of owners. An estimated 1,002 households are in core housing need in 2023. Additionally, in 2021 there were 800 owners with mortgages in extreme core housing need, and an estimated 1,095 owner households in extreme core housing need in 2023. Core housing need is projected to increase to 5,649 households by 2028, with a significant increase of renters in CHN to a projected total of 3,021, and more modest increase to a total 2,628 owner households. To eliminate Extreme Core Housing Need there will need to be 1,692 new affordable units by 2043. This report is using the most recent 2021 Census Data, however it must be noted that these CHN statistics are likely lower than reality due to CERB, as discussed in Section 3.4.1. 6.2 Rental Housing Needs Rental Housing is a sector that the Provincial and municipal governments want to encourage and facilitate. The cost of rental housing has increased by 89% and median renter incomes have only increased 43% including the temporary boost from CERB. Renter households are typically subject to CHN more often than owner households due to lower median incomes. As of 2021, renter households are 21% more likely to be in CHN and 7% more likely to be living in extreme CHN. Unlike owner households, renter households have limited options to find more affordable housing. Housing mobility is limited for renter households in Maple Ridge due to the lack of vacant units. As of 2022, the rental vacancy rate in the City was only 1%. A healthy vacancy rate is generally considered to be between 3% and 5%. In order to meet renter growth needs, the City will require at least 2,100 new rental units by 2033, and more affordable rental units to address underlying affordability issues. Further units are required to increase the vacancy rate to 3% or more. New rental housing can either take the form of primary or secondary rental units. The primary rental market is generally purpose built rental buildings or units which are secured as long-term rentals. The secondary rental market are typically suites on existing suites, or condominiums that are rented out by owners. It is anticipated that the majority of new rental housing to meet projected demand will be in the primary rental market. The primary rental market ensures long-term reliability for the City and tenants. 43% of the purpose-built rental stock was built prior to 1981, two-fifths primary rental market is over 40 years old and is increasingly likely to be redevelopment. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 57 Conclusion City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 57 Conclusion Page 161 of 183 6.3 Suppressed Household Formation Suppressed household formation refers to households that would have formed if the housing market had been more affordable and available. Suppressed households may be due to adults living involuntarily with parents or roommates because of affordability concerns or suppressed local demand such as households moving far away from their jobs and services because of affordability concerns. The total number of suppressed households from 2006 to 2021 was 2,059. Most suppressed households were for those aged 25 to 44, as shown in Table 10. Table 10.

However, 2,758 (32%) will need to be units with three bedrooms or more to meet the projected growth in larger families, as shown in Table 9. The affordability analysis highlighted in section 3.3 indicates that the affordability of larger units is a significant issue for almost all family types. Given the high projected growth in larger families, incentivizing these types of units will be a City priority for years to come. Table 11. Table 9: Projected household growth by unit size, 2023 -2028 Source: Derived from BC Stats Population Projection and Statistics Canada, Census 2021 Units added from 2023 to 2028 Units added from 2028 to 2033 Total Studio and 1-bedroom 2,311 1,927 4,238 2-bedroom 812 805 1,617 3+ bedroom 1,388 1,370 2,758 Total 4,511 4,102 8,613 6.5 Housing for Seniors Maple Ridge is an aging community. As of 2021, the seniors age cohort (65+) comprises 16% of the overall population and a total 14,615 individuals. By 2028, seniors will account for 18% of the population, increasing by 4,666 more seniors. By 2033, seniors will account for 19% of the population, increasing by a further 3,250 seniors. Seniors, more often than other demographic groups, require housing that meets specific standards. For many seniors, living on a fixed-income limits housing options. Other seniors may require specific accessibility considerations such as an elevator, limited stairs, and other accessibility features. Housing with special considerations will be required to adequately accommodate the projected growth of seniors. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 59 Conclusion City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 59 Conclusion Page 163 of 183 6.6 Housing for Indigenous Households Maple Ridge is located on the traditional territory of the Katzie First Nation and Kwantlen First Nation. As of 2021, Maple Ridge is 4.7% Indigenous accounting for 4,205 individuals who identify as Indigenous. In 2021, 26% of Indigenous renter households were in CHN, and 12% of Indigenous owner households experienced CHN. Notably, the proportion of Indigenous owner households experiencing CHN increased by 4% since 2016. For Indigenous renter households CHN decreased by 13% but this is likely due in part to CERB, as discussed in Section 3.4.1. 6.7 Housing Near Transit By locating housing near transit multiple cross-sectional objectives can be met. These include accelerating the transportation mode shift to sustainable modes, ensuring people have equitable access to their daily needs, and reducing monthly household costs by reducing motor vehicle dependency. In 2023, the Province amended the Local Government Act to require municipalities to permit greater densities near transit. In Maple Ridge this will take shape through the densification of the Lougheed transit corridor and transit-oriented areas at the Maple Meadows and Port Haney West Coast Express Stations. For properties near frequent transit stops property owners are as-of-right permitted to build six-units on an adequately sized parcel. At West Coast Express Stations in Maple Ridge the City is required to update its zoning bylaw to permit at least 12 storeys and 4.0 FSR buildings within 200 metres of the station, and up to 8 storeys and 3.0 FSR from 200 to 400 metres. These regulatory changes will significantly accelerate transit-oriented development in Maple Ridge. 6.8 Homelessness Local data through Point-in-Time counts and an aggregation of the regional homelessness population report through the Integrated Data Project agree that homelessness in Maple Ridge is increasing. In 2023, 135 individuals were found to be unhoused across Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, and Maple Ridge’s aggregated proportion of the region population experiencing population is estimated at 392 individuals. It is important that a coordinated effort by the City, the Province, and local service providers is made to increase the housing supports for the City’s unhoused population. In 2023, across the city there were 25 emergency shelter beds served, 192 housing units allocated to the unhoused population, and 281 rent supplements for those experiencing homelessness. 60 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Conclusion 60 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Conclusion Page 164 of 183 6.9 Components of 5 and 20-Year Housing Capacity Calculation In summary, to meet anticipated demand and eliminate the current housing crisis, nearly 28,000 units will be required by 2041. This includes nearly 1,700 affordable units to address extreme core housing need and 392 units to address homelessness. In the next five years, approximately 8,700 units are needed, and an additional 6,500 will be need by 2034. More than two-thirds (67%) of the total units required to meet projected and latent demand are driven by projected community growth (Component D). Table 12.

The feedback from community engagement with the public and stakeholders will inform the development of both the Housing Needs Report and, importantly, the Housing Strategy, which will both inform future policy and land use planning decisions. The community engagement for the 2024 Housing Needs Report included three engagement events as listed below: • Virtual Engagement with the development and non-profit community – January 25th • Community Stakeholder Workshop – February 1st at City Hall Council Chambers • Community Open House – March 7 at the Maple Ridge Public Library Throughout the engagement, key issues emerged, such as the need for more rental housing, seniors housing, and supportive housing. A more streamlined development approval process was noted as a key opportunity to accelerate the development of affordable and market housing. This brief What We Heard memorandum summarizes the barriers (Section 2.0) and the opportunities (Section 3.0) that community and stakeholders identified through all community engagement events. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 63 Appendix A Page 167 of 183 Summary of Barriers & Issues We heard barriers and issues relating to housing impact all demographics, but specific at-risk demographics such as seniors, youth, new immigrants, and others are struggling more than others. The community identified four main themes for why this happening, as detailed below: Lack of appropriate seniors housing • Limited availability of seniors co-op housing and long waitlists for existing seniors co-op housing. • A lack of available housing that meets the accessible needs of people with mobility issues • Lack of or awareness of support services that assist older individuals in finding suitable housing. Affordability • Households earning median incomes can not afford to enter the ownership market. • Many families are struggling to affordable rental housing, especially families with low- or-fixed-incomes. • Low-income individuals must choose between housing and other essential needs, including food security and medical expenses. • Youth and young adults are leaving Maple Ridge due to lack of available affordable housing. Existing Supportive Housing is not held to a high standard. • Existing supportive housing was heard to typically be older and not maintained at a high standard, effectively reducing the appeal of supportive housing and negatively affecting current livability for residents. Unfavourable Development Conditions and Lack of Development Capacity • We also heard from the development community that building under current economic conditions is often not feasible. These issues are magnified by the fact that many local buildings, while experienced in single-family development, may lack the necessary operational capacity for larger and more complex multi-family projects. 64 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Appendix A Page 168 of 183 Summary of Opportunities We heard from the public that there are many potential opportunities to address the existing barriers and enhance the City’s overall housing environment. The key themes that arose are summarized below, including accelerating housing, creating a complete community, supportive and alternative housing, and for the City to take a more active role in housing. Accelerate Housing Develop: • Explore fast-tracking certain types of developments (i.e., multi-family with an affordable component or purpose-built rentals.) • Eliminate parking minimums across the City. • Ensure legalizing suites is not cost-prohibitive. • Explore Tax breaks or other incentives for those building secondary dwellings on their properties. • Provide more further incentives for developers to build rental units. • Explore Modular housing • Explore pre-approved designs. Supportive and Alternative Housing • Increase awareness and check-ins for people who live alone, particularly seniors. • Develop more progressive building guidelines to ensure new buildings, especially rentals, are accessible/adaptable and allow for aging in place. • Need more emergency shelter spaces. • Need more transitional housing that connects to a broader spectrum. (i.e., Shelter, Supportive Housing, Affordable, Market). Reduce the number of people slipping through the spectrum. • Explore different housing subsidy types for various income and special needs thresholds. • Explore Tiny Homes • Explore Lock-off suites »This would allow “mom and pop” property owners to take advantage of new legislative density allowances. Create a Complete Community. • There is a need for more complete neighbourhoods outside of downtown, with walkable access services and amenities. • There is a demand for more employment opportunities downtown and locally. • Need more supportive housing near transit • Balance the need for green space with the need to increase housing supply. City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report 65 Appendix A Page 169 of 183 Accelerate Housing Develop: • The City should explore fast-tracking certain types of developments (i.e., multi-family with an affordable component or purpose-built rentals. • Eliminate parking minimums across the City. • Ensure legalizing suites is not cost-prohibitive. • Tax breaks or other incentives for those building secondary dwellings on their properties. • Provide more incentives for developers to build rental units. • Explore Modular housing • Explore pre-approved designs. Taking a More Active Role • The City should take a more active role in managing housing. (potential Delta Example) • Create partnerships with non-profits and faith-based institutions. »Example – Mission, Tiny Homes on Church land. • Need better management of rental buildings (technically, it would be the Rental Tenancy Branch, not the City.) • Explore acquiring land Specific Locational Opportunities Community members were asked where future development should be prioritized outside of the downtown. We heard that more development is needed along the water, and that the Hammond Mill Site may have the potential for redevelopment. Summary The feedback heard indicates that there are substantial affordability issues across the City, which are particularly impacting at-risk demographics. We heard that the community sees great opportunity in accelerating housing development through incentives and reducing the logistics of development approvals. The community also indicated the new growth and investment services improvement needs to prioritize housing and services for at-risk demographics, such as seniors, youth, and young adults. 66 City of Maple Ridge Housing Needs Report Appendix A Page 170 of 183 Page 171 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 1 of 1 Cottonwood Landfill Slope Stability – Budget and Scope of Work Increase Recommendation: THAT the budget and scope of work be increased for the Cottonwood Landfill Slope Stability to $6,063,072 plus applicable taxes with additional funds coming from the Landfill Closure Reserve. Report Purpose and Summary Statement: The purpose of this report is to obtain Council approval to increase the budget and scope of work for the Cottonwood Landfill Slope Stability. Previous Council Action: This project was previously approved through the 2011- 2014 Capital Plan. Financial Impact: Total project expenditures, excluding taxes, totals $6,063,072. Funding Source: The project is funded through the General Capital Fund (GCF) / Carry Forward Fund and Surplus Fund. Strategic Alignment: Climate Leadership & Environmental Stewardship Climate Impact: This project will prevent a future failure of the south and east slopes of the leachate pond that would result in a release of deleterious materials into the Cottonwood Creek and surrounding environmental habitat. Page 172 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 1 of 3 To: Mayor and Council File number: 11-5255-30-004 Budget Increase for Cottonwood Landfill Slope Stability BACKGROUND: The City of Maple Ridge’s Cottonwood Landfill is located at the southeast corner of 116 Avenue and Cottonwood Drive. The landfill is comprised of two properties, 11400 Cottonwood Drive and 11580 Cottonwood Drive. The City is in the process of implementing the landfill closure plan that was developed in 2014 and approved by the Ministry of Environment. As part of the ongoing management of the landfill, the City operates and maintains a leachate collection system that includes a leachate collection pond at the southeast corner of 11580 Cottonwood Drive. ANALYSIS: Discussion: In January 2021, as a result of the atmospheric river weather conditions, ground movement and slope stability issues were discovered on the south and east slopes of the pond. Our investigation determined that a portion of the east slope had failed, and that the stability of the south and east slopes needs to be addressed immediately to avoid further failure and to ensure the safe operation of the leachate pond until the closure is completed. Project Description: The scope of this project includes the design and construction for the slope stability improvements (east and south side of the slope) which is expected to start in the fall of 2024 with substantial completion anticipated by the spring of 2025. Sustainability/Climate Impact: This project aligns with Council’s Strategic Plan priority for Climate Leadership & Environmental Stewardship goal by preventing a future failure of the south and east slopes of the leachate pond that would result in a release of deleterious materials into the Cottonwood Creek and surrounding environmental habitat. Strategic Alignment: The desired outcome is to eliminate the risk of future movement or failure of the south and east slopes of the leachate pond at the Cottonwood Landfill. Financial Impact: Project Expenditures (Excluding Taxes) Excluding Taxes) Project Management Support Services (J. Martinez Project Management Consulting Ltd.) $ 62,750 Engineering Design and Construction (RAM Engineering Ltd.) $ 339,707 Page 173 of 183 September 3, 2024 Committee of the Whole Page 2 of 3 City-Internal Charges - Ops Charges and Sub-contracts $ 160,945 City - Ops Charges and Sub-contracts expected for 2024 $ 300,000 Site Road Improvements (Ops subcontractor) $ 250,000 Construction Contract Cost (Michels Canada Co.) $ 4,235,835 Contract Contingency (approximately 17%) $ 713,835 Total Projected Cost $ 6,063,072 Project Funding Sources Existing budget 2024 for Cottonwood Landfill Closure $ 2,563,072 Total Funding Sources $ 2,563,072 Budget Shortfall $ 3,500,000 The budget shortfall of $3,500,000 will be funded through transfers from available Landfill Closure Reserve of $5,000,000. ALTERNATIVES & IMPLICATIONS: Alternatively, the scope can be separated into two phases with the east side being prioritized in 2024 and the south side being completed in 2025; the budget for the 2025 scope of work would be requested through the standard business planning process. However, there are efficiencies and savings to conducting the entire scope under one contract. CONCLUSION: The City plans to construct secant pile walls to eliminate the risk of future movement or failure of the south and east slopes of the leachate pond at the Cottonwood Landfill. The expected project expenditure of $6,063,072 exceeds the available project budget of $2,563,072. The City requires approval of additional budget of $3,500,000 to proceed with project construction as planned in 2024. The additional costs are associated with worsening site conditions resulting in additional works which were not part of the original scope when the project was initially budgeted. There are risks with delaying the project further as well as efficiencies in completing the entire scope concurrently. Prepared by: Azad Mustafa, P.

Concrete shall be introduced at the end of a pumping hose or tremie tube which is sufficiently submerged below the concrete level in the cased hole. If groundwater seepage is observed during concrete placement, concrete shall be introduced at the bottom of the casing using a tremie tube. If sand boiling is observed, slurry shall be used to reduce sand boiling prior to introducing concrete. See Top of Pile Installation Detail for concrete elevation and H-beam "stick-up". 9.Reinforcement shall be lowered to the bottom of the casing. 10.Repeat steps 6 to 10 until all secondary secant piles are installed. No adjacent secant pile construction shall be carried out within 24 hours after the construction of the proximate primary secant pile construction. 11.Install remaining "extension" of piles, including splicing of H-Beams as required (see Top of Pile Installation Detail) 12.Excavate to proposed grade in front of cutoff wall and install waler and anchors as required. 3.4. Lock-Block Installation The drawings include cross-section(s) of the proposed retaining wall(s) complete with recommendations. A levelling pad must be used to provide a level surface for the first layer of blocks. The levelling pad shall be comprised of 19mm (3/4") clear crushed gravel and have a 150mm (6") thickness, to be placed and compacted directly on dense, natural, undisturbed soil approved by the Geotechnical Engineer. The Geotechnical Engineer must have the opportunity to review and approve the foundation subgrade for the retaining wall prior to the placement of blocks and Engineered Fill. If applicable, the Lock-Blocks are to be constructed with a batter as shown in the sections. The blocks should be staggered to provide an interlocking effect and installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, taking special care and regular measurements to assure proper installation of the blocks. Details of excavation and installation of blocks must be reviewed by the Geotechnical Engineer prior to excavation. 4.0. DECOMMISSIONING 4.1. Backfilling: All backfilling shall comply with the municipality requirements. 5.0 QUALITY CONTROL AND TESTING 5.1. Anchors and Reinforcing Steel The Contractor shall provide a supplier's mill certificate, verified by independent chemical test results by internationally or CSA certified testing agency. Contractor to provide tensile test results per ASTM A370. 5.2. Anchor Testing All anchors shall be proof or performance tested in accordance with the Post-Tensioning Institute's (PTI) recommendations for soil anchors. In the circumstance that any anchors that do not meet the PTI requirements the Geotechnical Engineer should be notified prior to work proceeding. The anchors will be locked at 100 kN after testing. 5.3. Grout Should there be any "failed" anchors or any uncertainty regarding the quality of the grout, sampling and testing of grout by an approved qualified testing agency may be arranged by others. Contractor to allow for one flow test and collection and testing of one set of grout cubes. 5.4. Concrete Contractor should allow for slump and air entrainment testing of each load of concrete in conformance with applicable CSA/ASTM standards as well as preparation and testing of cylinders in conformance with applicable ASTM test procedures. 5.5. Backfilling Field density testing should be carried out by a qualified testing agency over the full fill depth during backfill placement. In addition, the Geotechnical Engineer should review the backfilling with respect to material type and placement procedures and to ensure density testing is representative. Only lightweight hand-operated equipment shall be allowed within 0.9m (3') of wall units within the retained fill area. 16 PL 450x450x25 PL 450x450x25 16 W610X101 W610X101 22 Front View Scale: NTS Top of Pile Installation Detail (Phase 1) Section 2 Top of concrete (first pour) Working pad surface Stick-up height as required for constructability Final cutoff wall design height to match original grade as shown on Sections E2 & S2 Extension height to be determined Min. 75mm Concrete (second pour) PHASING: Phase 1 (this tender): Installation of secant pile wall on the east slope.
