EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS -1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to P-2 (Special Institutional) to bring the exisiting licensed care use (Beckman House)
into compliance, and to allow construction of a two storey building that will provide 20 independent
living units. The existing licensed care building is a partnership between BC Housing, the MPA
Society, and the Fraser Health Authority who own, operate, and fund the Beckman House initiative,
respectively.
This development application is supported by numerous Official Community Plan principles,
objectives, and policies as outlined in this report. An Official Community Plan amendment is
required to re -designate the subject property from Urban Residential to Institutional. To proceed
further with this application additional information is required as outlined below.

development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the
District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7063 - 2014 be given first reading; and

Urban Standard
The subject property fronts onto 216th Street, and the current building is on Maple Ridge's Heritage
Inventory. This building was significantly expanded in 2002 following a fire. The applicant's proposal
to construct a second building on the property will not impact the existing heritage inventory building.
An existing licensed care facility currently operates on the property and the eastern portion of the
subject property is vacant.
c) Property History:
The existing licensed care building is a partnership between BC Housing, the MPA Society, and the
Fraser Health Authority who own, operate, and fund the existing Beckman House initiative,
respectively. The Beckman House provides 21 licensed care beds and has been in operation for ten
-2-
years. Additionally, the MPA Society operates two duplexes in the area for supported living. The
Beckman House provides a range of services including acute psychiatric support, life -skills
enhancement programs, and substance use programming. According to the MPA Society website,
Beckman House involves residents in all aspects of their recovery from mental health and addictions
issues in an environment of acceptance, mutual respect and empowerment.
d) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to construct a second building to LEED gold standard on the east side of the
subject property behind the existing building. The proposed building will be two storeys and will
provide 20 independent living beds for adults living with mental health issues.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries, OCP designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further
development permits.
e) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is currently designated Urban Residential. For the proposed development an
OCP amendment will be required to re -designate the site to Institutional to allow the proposed P-2
(Special Institutional) zoning.
Research conducted as a component of the Official Community Plan review in 2005-2006 identified
that there are waiting lists for social housing, shelter beds, transition housing, community care
facilities and supportive housing within the community, and that providers regularly turn away those
in need of such housing, for lack of such facilities. As a result of this recognized need, numerous
principles, objectives and policies in the OCP support increasing affordable special needs housing in
the community as outlined here:
Principle 37: Housing choice is critical to meeting the diverse needs of current and future residents
of Maple Ridge - special needs, singles, young families and an aging population.
Principle 39: A healthy community depends on social services that meet the needs of a diverse
population.
OBJECTIVES:
To encourage a variety of housing types and densities to meet the diverse residential needs of the
District.
To encourage the provision of affordable market and non -market housing and rental
accommodation in Maple Ridge.
To recognize that mixed socio-economic housing contributes positively to overall community health,
and to facilitate the provision of special needs housing within the District (including social housing,
community care facilities, transition housing, shelter housing and supportive housing units) for
people with physical, mental, and/or lifestyle challenges.
-3-
These OCP principles and objectives speak to diversity in housing choice that will meet the needs of
all residents. Furthermore, the provision of this diversity of choice contributes to a healthy
community. In addition to the above noted principles and objectives, the following, more specific
policies are included in the OCP:
Policy 3 - 5 Maple Ridge will support Healthy Community Land Use Strategies and community
wellness principles by:
a) recognizing the link between the provision of a range of housing options and
social sustainability;
b) promoting affordable housing developments that incorporate access to services
through interconnecting roadways, bicycle paths, and pedestrian links;
c) promoting activities that contribute to the needs, health, development, and well-
being of individuals within the community, as well as the overall community;
d) encouraging the provision of an appropriate scale of services at the
neighbourhood level;
e) promoting diverse, safe and secure neighbourhoods that facilitates neighbourly
support, resulting in a healthier, more resilient community;
f) encouraging public spaces that offer opportunities for community interaction;
and
g) promoting affordable housing developments that meet diverse housing needs.
Policy 3 - 28 Maple Ridge will encourage partnerships with government and non-government
agencies to support the creation of affordable, rental and special needs housing in the
community.
Policy 3 - 32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing
throughout the District. Where appropriate, the provision of affordable, rental, and
special needs housing will be a component of area plans.
Policy 4 - 3 Maple Ridge will assist the Fraser Health Region to plan for appropriate community
health facilities and services for our changing and growing population.
This development application aligns with promoting a mix of housing types to support diverse needs
in terms of both income and abilities by increasing the availability of housing for persons with
disabilities in an infill form. In addition, this development application reflects policies that encourage
partnership with government and non-government agencies such as BC Housing, the Fraser Health
Authority, and the MPA Society in creating special needs housing. The District of Maple Ridge is
currently working on the Housing Action Plan, to be completed in 2014. Metro Vancouver, through
the Regional Growth Strategy adopted in 2011, identified that affordable housing with a range of
housing options is an essential part of a complete community. The recently updated Regional
Context Statement also includes work -toward statements to complete a Housing Action Plan. The
Housing Action Plan will identify goals and objectives of the Housing Action Plan which include, but
are not limited to:
• Assessing local housing market conditions;
• Identifying housing priorities;
• Encouraging the supply of new rental housing;
• Developing local partnerships and work with other levels of government to secure
affordable housing; and
• Identifying short, medium and long-term actions to meet housing needs across the
housing continuum.
-4-
The proposed expansion to Beckman House will increase the supply of supportive housing units in
Maple Ridge.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 12032 216 Street from
RS -1 (One Family Urban Residential) to P-2 (Special Institutional) to permit construction of a two
storey building with 20 assisted living beds. The applicant has requested variances for the building
setbacks on three sides to maximize the redevelopment opportunities on the subject property.
Additionally, the applicant has requested a site specific text amendment to allow an increase in
density from 0.5 FSR to 0.8 FSR, and a reduction in the number of parking spaces required under
the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw from 26 to 11 parking spaces. These variances and text
amendment are consistent with relaxations proposed for the Maple Crescent Lodge Treatment
Centre expansion. The details of the text amendment and proposed variances will be the subject of
a future report to Council.
Development Permits:
Section 919.1 of the Local Government Act enables the creation of a Development Permit Area for
various purposes, including form and character for intensive residential, commercial, industrial, or
multi -family developments. There is no provision in the Local Government Act for properties
designated Institutional, therefore no form and character development permit is required for this
application.
Advisory Design Panel:
Copies of the architectural plans for the proposed building will be forwarded to the Advisory Design
Panel prior to second reading for comments, although no development permit is required as noted
above.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.
f) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Licenses, Permits, and Bylaws Department;
d) Parks and Leisure Services (Community Services);
e) Fire Department; and
f) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will
take place between first and second reading.
-5
g) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
h) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); and
3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E).
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is not in compliance with the existing OCP designation, however
numerous OCP policies provide justification and support to allow the amendment in order for the
project to proceed. It is therefore recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional
information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council
not require any further additional OCP consultation.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: First Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7065 - 2014
24263 and 24295 112 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at 24263 and 24295 112
Avenue, from RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential). The applicant intends to choose the Density Bonus option within the RS -lb (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-family
lot sizes of 371 m2. The required amenity fee of $3,100.00 per lot less than 557 m2 will be
collected by the Approving Officer at the subdivision approval stage.
A portion of the subject properties in the southeast corner is within the 30 m setback area from the
top of bank of a watercourse and will therefore be dedicated as park for conservation purposes. As
such, an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will be required to amend the land use
designation in this area from Residential Low Medium to Conservation. To proceed further with this
application additional information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the
District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7065 - 2014 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, B, F, and G of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999, along with the information required for a
Subdivision application.

Urban Standard
The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan and are approximately 0.81 ha (2
acres) in size, in total. The subject properties are bound by 112 Avenue to the south, 243 Street to
the west, and single family residential lots to the north and east (see Appendix A). A watercourse is
located to the southeast of the subject properties, which will require a small portion of the property
to be dedicated as park for conservation purposes (see Appendix B).
-2-
c) Project Description:
The applicant has requested to rezone the subject properties from RS -3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), with a Density Bonus, in
accordance with the Community Amenity Program, which received final reading on October 8, 2013.
The Community Amenity Program is detailed in Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996 - 2013, which will
permit the following:
For the RS -lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, the base density is
a net lot area of 557 m2. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS -lb (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone and shall be applied as follows:
a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision
containing one or more lots with an area of less than 557 m2, payable when
the Approving Officer approves the subdivision.
b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i. minimum net lot area of 371 m2;
ii. minimum lot width of 12.0 m;
iii. minimum lot depth of 24 m.
c. Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 (Residential District) zone will
apply and supersede the zoning requirements for the RS -1b (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone.
The proposed development consists of approximately 12 R-1 (Residential District) sized lots,
amounting to an Amenity Contribution of approximately $37,200.00. The final number of lots and
amenity contribution will be determined at the time of approval of the subdivision.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need
to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and bylaw particulars, and may require
application for further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan and are currently designated
Residential Low -Medium Density. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be
required to re -designate the southeast portion of the subject properties currently designated
Residential Low -Medium Density to Conservation, as this area will be dedicated as park due to the
watercourse setback to a watercourse (see Appendix B).
The application is in compliance with OCP Amending Bylaw No. 6995 - 2013, that establishes the
Community Amenity Program, and in compliance with the proposed Zoning Amending Bylaw No.
6996 - 2013, that permits a Density Bonus option in the Residential Low -Medium Density
designation in the Albion Area Plan. The applicant intends to apply the Density Bonus option to this
project, as discussed above in the Project Description. This application is east and south of current
-3-
rezoning applications that are applying for the same zone and density bonus, under applications
2011-095-RZ and 2012-048-RZ.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at 24263 and 24295 112
Avenue from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -lb (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) with a Density Bonus (see Appendix C), to permit future subdivision into approximately
12 single family lots.
The application of the Density Bonus, which is specific to the Albion Area Plan, will permit the
applicant to reduce the single-family lot size from the RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) base density of 557 m2 to 371 m2. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot for each
lot that is less than 557 m2 is required, as discussed in the Project Description above.
Any variations from the requirements of the Density Bonus zone of R-1 (Residential District) for lots
less than 557 m2 or from the requirements of the RS -1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone for lots greater than 557 m2 will require a Development Variance Permit
application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development
Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top
of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development
Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
• All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule "B", or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
• All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
• All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C"
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project,
therefore this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is less than 25 dwelling units.
-4-
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department;
e) Parks Department; and
f) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will
take place between first and second reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
3. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
4. A Natural Features Development Permit (Schedule G); and
5. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP with respect to designated
land use; however, minor adjustments to the Conservation boundaries are required. Justification
has been provided to support the OCP amendment. It is therefore recommended that Council grant
first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading.
It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. It is expected
that once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7065 - 2014
may be amended and an OCP Amendment for Conservation boundary adjustment may be required.

2011 -002 -SD
The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject 1.882 hectare (4.56 acre) property from A-2 (Upland
Agricultural) to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to create 3 single family lots. Two of the
proposed lots will front on Bosonworth Avenue and the third southernmost lot will face 256 Street.
Bosonworth Avenue becomes an unpaved gravel road in front of this property and 256 Street has
been constructed south of Bosonworth Avenue as part of the Grant Hill subdivision to the west.
Widening and paving of Bosonworth Avenue, a cul-de-sac turnaround at the current south terminus
of 256 Street and a corner truncation at the intersection of these two streets will be provided as part
of the subdivision associated with this rezoning application.
-2-
The subject property contains an existing dwelling to be retained. It will be sited on one of the three
lots in accordance with Zoning Bylaw setback requirements. The land slopes upwards from
Bosonworth Avenue and is particularly steep at the southern end of the site abutting the District
Forest Lands. The southern portion of the site and the unconstructed portion of 256 Street will be
retained in its natural state.
A preliminary site plan showing the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site septic
disposal areas is attached for reference (Appendix C).
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The proposal for RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zoning is consistent with the zones
permitted in the Zoning Matrix for lands designated as Suburban Residential. Consequently, the
proposal is consistent with the existing Official Community Plan designation.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed lots will meet the minimum lot width, depth and area set out in the Zoning Bylaw for
RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone. Each lot is at least 0.40 hectares (1.0 acre) in area,
with the southern lot having a greater area of 1.055 hectares. The two lots along Bosonworth
Avenue will be about 50 metres wide and 84 metres deep, and Lot 3 is about 100 metres in both
width and depth. Lot 3 is larger to permit adequate space for a building site and septic fields due to
the sloping conditions of the land.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result
in fewer than 25 dwelling units, and no Official Community Plan amendment is required.
d) Environmental lmplications:
At first reading, it was anticipated that pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a
Natural Features Development Permit (NFDP) application would be required for the portion of the
site with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent.
After further review, it has been determined that a development permit will not be required. Instead,
the sloping lands in the southern part of the site will be subject to a no-build/no disturb steep slope
covenant. Plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of a development permit, for
restoration and enhancement works along an unbuilt portion of 256 Street north of Bosonworth
Avenue in conjunction with another site (2012-102-RZ) being developed by the same applicant.
The necessary covenant and accompanying explanatory plan will be registered on proposed Lot 3 at
the time of subdivision.
-3-
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
Engineering has identified a number of required off site works including: construction of Bosonworth
to a rural standard (it is currently a gravel road) in front of the property, a corner truncation,
dedication to complete the cul-de-sac at the south end of 256 Street, storm water/drainage works
on Bosonworth, and installing a mast -arm street light and new water service connections.
Latecomers for the area's water system and road access onto 256 Street may apply.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
An existing off road trail within the Bosonworth Avenue right-of-way may need to be accommodated
as a boulevard trail in the road right of way in conjunction with the construction of Bosonworth
Avenue across the frontage of the property. This will be determined as part of the subdivision
approval process.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6795 -
2011 and that application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Second Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6965-2013
25638 112 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the portion of the subject property located outside of
the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -2 (One Family
Suburban Residential) to permit a future subdivision into four (4) RS -2 lots and one RS -3 lot
remaining in the ALR
This application received first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 on March 12,
2013. This site is identified by the Agricultural Land Commission as one of the "Remnant
Properties" in their comments concerning the Albion Flats Concept Plan. Therefore, the applicant
was given the option of proceeding with an exclusion application on the rear portion of the
development site ahead of rezoning. The applicant did not chose to do the exclusion; therefore,
instead of rezoning from RS -3 to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and A-1 (Small Holding
Agricultural), the northern portion located in the ALR will retain its current RS -3 zoning and only
the the southern portion to be subdivided into 4 lots will proceed with rezoning to RS -2. The zone
amending bylaw is amended accordingly.
The proposed RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zoning complies with the Official
Community Plan.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 be amended as identified in the staff report
dated February 3, 2014, be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
and
2. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading:
Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and
receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement;
ii. Road dedication as required;
1104
iii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title
Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development;
iv. Registration of a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title
Office;
v. Registration of a Agricultural Impact Assessment report and a Landscaping Plan for
a buffer along the Agricultural Land Reserve Boundary at the Land Title Office;
vi. Entering into a Restoration and Enhancement Agreement for the unconstructed
portion of the 256 Street allowance abutting the site;
vii. Removal of the existing building/s;
viii. A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising
whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is
evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in
accordance with the regulations.
ix. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management
Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s).

Non -ALR lots: Bosonworth Avenue
ALR lot: 112 Avenue
Non -ALR lots: Municipal water and on-site septic disposal;
ALR lot: Well water and on-site septic disposal
The subject property slopes down from Bosonworth Avenue northward through the ALR and to 112
Avenue. The property is currently forested, except for a clearing at the northern end. A small existing
structure will be removed prior to final reading. The site is serviced with a well and septic fields.
The applicant proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property that is not in the ALR from
RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential. This will permit the
creation of about 4 lots having an area of 0.45 Ha (1.1 acres) each fronting along Bosonworth
Avenue. The northern 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) portion of the property within the Agricultural Land
Reserve will retain its RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone.
The attached preliminary site plan shows the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site
septic disposal areas (Appendix C). This subdivision does not require Agricultural Land Commission
approval because Section 10 (1) (d) of the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and
Procedure Regulations allows the Approving Officer to establish a legal boundary along the boundary
of the Agricultural Land Reserve.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The southern portion of the development site is currently designated Suburban Residential and the
northern portion located and being subdivided along the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary is
currently designated Agricultural. The proposed rezoning complies with the established
designations.
-3-
Zoning Bylaw:
The application proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property located at 25638 112
Avenue from RS -3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS -2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to
permit four 0.45 Ha (1.1 acre) RS -2 lots, and a remnant 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) RS -3 parcel in the
Agricultural Land Reserve. The proposed lots will comply with Zoning Bylaw requirement for lot area,
width and depth.
Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw:
256 Street is an unconstructed road to the west of the subject site. Due to excessive grade, the
Engineering Department determined it cannot be built within municipal road standards and a
development variance permit is required to dispense with its construction. Engineering is supportive
of this variance. A separate report will be forwarded to Council on this matter at a future date.
The road allowance contains a water pumping station at the bottom of the hill on 112 Avenue, and
municipal water main from the station up the hill to Bosonworth Avenue and then further south to
the Grant Hill Reservoir.
Development Information Meeting:
A development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result in
fewer than 25 dwelling units.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Feature Development Permit is
required to address excessive sloping conditions on portions of the site.
This development permit will be coordinated with these landscaping requirements:
• Restoration and enhancement plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of
plantings on the subject site and another to the south (2011-002-RZ). This planting will be
designed not to impact the recently installed water main and to stabilize the sloping 256
Street right-of-way.
• Landscaping will be planted along the rear of the proposed 4 lots and on the eastern side of
the easternmost lot to create a buffer with the Agricultural Land Reserve in accordance with
the Landscaping Buffer Specification established by the Agricutural Land Commission.
d) Environmental lmplications:
The site is covered by a tree canopy that increases in intensity from north (along 112 Avenue) to
south (along Bosonworth Avenue). The site is characterized by slopes between 10 and 25 percent.
The southeastern portion of the site has excessive sloping (more than 25%) conditions. Therefore,
-4-
the proposed eastern lot will be subject to a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant to be
registered on title as a third reading condition.
The Arborist Report and Tree Survey identify trees to be removed to provide envelopes for building
sites and septic fields. Plans have been submitted identifying these envelopes. These envelopes will
need to be adjusted for best practices as part of fulfilling subdivision conditions, particularly on the
easternmost lot.
A geotechnical engineer must insure that any lot grading will have no impact on slope stability.
A combination of Development Permit and Restoration and Enhancement Agreement will be used to
protect sensitive sloping areas and provide the specification for the necessary plantings to maintain
slope stability on the site and along the 256 Street right-of-way.
e) Agricultural Impact:
Policy 6-12 b) strives to protect the productivity of agricultural lands by "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."
An Agricultural Impact Assessment report has been provided that satisfies District requirements for
this purpose. This report confirms that there will be no direct or indirect drainage, water quality,
noise and traffic impact on the agricultural area. A Landscaping Buffer Plan in accordance with ALC
and District standards will be completed by the applicant.
Registration of a Restrictive Covenant, with the Agricultural Impact Assessment report, a
Landscaping Buffer Plan and submission of a security, is a third reading requirement.
f) Interdepartmental Implications:
Building Department:
Comments from Building include: referencing the 2012 Building Code in the Geotechnical Report,
insuring building permits are obtained to demolish existing buildings, and insuring the final site
grading plan provides for smooth grade transitions between lots.
Engineering Department:
Comments from Engineering have identified some off-site requirements that the applicant needs to
address. These include: road widening along 112 and Bosonworth Avenues, and the construction of
Bossonworth Avenue (currently a gravel road) to a rural standard. Engineering further advises that
the location and design of each driveway be reviewed to avoid excessive driveway grades.
-5-
Fire Department:
Due to heavy tree cover, Fire requires adequate clearance to each future residential dwelling. When
constructed, the driveways will need to be clear of vegetation 6 metres wide and minimum 5 metres
high with a 5 metre wide drivable surface.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6965-2013 be amended as
identified in the staff report dated March 17, 2014, be given second reading as amended, and be
forwarded to Public Hearing.

zoned subject properties. The subject properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of
vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership. This OCP
amendment will bring the subject properties into compliance. To proceed further with this
application additional information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv. First Nations;
v. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and
vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the
District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment,
That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7064-2014 be given first reading, and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule H of the Development
Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999.

Urban Standard
The subject properties are bounded by Maple Meadows Way to the west, Dunn Avenue to the south
and east, and the Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership to the north. The properties have
been cleared and are currently used for overflow inventory storage from the car dealership located to
the north of the site.
c) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to amend Appendix D - Temporary Industrial Use of the Official Community
Plan to allow a Temporary Industrial Use Permit on the three subject properties. The subject
-2-
properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple
Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership, and this OCP amendment will bring the properties into
compliance. The long-term use of the subject properties is expected to be an expansion of the West
Coast Express park-and-ride facility on the south side of Dunn Avenue once capacity of the existing
parking lot is reached, potentially in the next five to ten years.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject properties are located in west Maple Ridge and are currently designated Institutional.
An OCP amendment is required to add the subject properties into Appendix D - Temporary Use
Permits of the Official Community Plan. Appendix D of the Official Community Plan states the
following:
1. Lands in the District may be designated to permit temporary uses if a condition or circumstance
exists that warrants the use for a short period of time but does not warrant a change of land use
designation or zoning of the property.
2. Council has the authority by resolution to issue Temporary Use Permits to allow temporary uses
on specific properties. Council may specify conditions for the temporary use.
3. Designated Temporary Use Permit areas will require guidelines that specify the general
conditions regarding the issuance of permits, the use of the land, and the date the use is to
terminate.
4. As a condition of issuing the permit, Council may require applicants or owners to remove
buildings, to restore the property to a specific condition when the use ends, and to post a
security bond. A permit may be issued for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed
only once.
5. Council may issue Temporary Use Permits to allow:
a) temporary commercial uses, i.e., temporary parking areas; and
b) temporary industrial uses, i.e. soil screening.
6. A Temporary Use Permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 920.2 of the
Local Government Act.
The subject properties are currently owned by BC Transit and are anticipated to be used for an
expanded West Coast Express Park and Ride facility in the future; therefore, a temporary use permit
as outlined in points 1 and 2 above is more appropriate than a rezoning application.
Furthermore, as outlined in points 2 and 3 above, the Temporary Industrial Use Permit may have
conditions and guidelines for the use to occur, as well as removal and restoration requirements once
the permit terminates. These conditions and guidelines are similar to rezoning conditions such as
engineering servicing improvements, landscaping, and fencing. A security deposit to ensure removal
of structures and restoration of the properties at the expiration of the permit will also be required.
The conditions of the temporary industrial use permit will be the subject of a future report to Council.
-3-
It is important to note that the Temporary Industrial Use Permits are now valid for a period of up to
three years, and may be renewed and extended only once. The main difference between rezoning
and temporary use permits is the duration of time that the use is permitted on the property, and the
removal and restoration requirements.
Development Information Meeting:
As there is an OCP amendment, a Development Information Meeting is required for this application.
Prior to second reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in
accordance with Council Policy 6.20.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department; and
d) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and departments not listed above.
Engineering Department:
This application has been forwarded to the Engineering Department for preliminary comments on the
intersection of Dunn Avenue and Maple Meadows Way. The Engineering Department has
commented that the traffic signals at Dunn Avenue and Maple Meadows Way have been inactive for
a number of years due to Canadian Pacific Railway's (CPR) traffic safety concerns at the CPR
crossing, specifically the lack of time for vehicles to clear the tracks on Maple Meadows Way when
trains are approaching.
Engineering staff have expended considerable effort working with CPR and Transport Canada to
resolve the requirement to provide adequate signal pre-emption for approaching trains. CPR staff
have just recently affirmed, as a result of modifications proposed by the District at the Maple
Meadows Way and Dunn Avenue intersection, that with minor modifications to CPR circuit
frequencies the minimum pre-emption timing requirements can be met and the traffic signals
activated.
In conjunction, Translink has agreed to undertake improvements on their property adjacent to the
intersection to minimize short -cutting across the tracks by pedestrians, and the owner of
Meadowtown Mall has agreed to extend the sidewalk from their property out to Maple Meadows Way
to eliminate the pedestrian discontinuity and hopefully, shortcutting across the rail tracks at unsafe
locations. A complete evaluation of this application by the Engineering Department will take place
between first and second reading.
Finance Department:
The Finance Department has confirmed that municipal taxation is based on the use of the property,
rather than the zone of the property. As a result, the outdoor storage of vehicles would garner the
same amount of property tax whether it is permitted as a Temporary Industrial Permit or as a
rezoning application. No reduction in tax revenue is anticipated as a result of this application.
-4-
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
g)
Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 - 1999 as amended:
1. A Temporary Industrial Use Permit Application (Schedule H)
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is not in compliance with the Institutional designation of the subject
properties. The subject properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory
for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership. The proposed OCP amendment
will bring the subject properties into compliance by amending Appendix D - Temporary Use Permits
of the OCP. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional
information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council
not require any further additional OCP consultation.

b) Requested Variances (see Appendix B):
The applicant is seeking the following variances in support of the proposal:
1. The Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule C - Services
and Utilities Section 3.5 Roads, SD -R2 Urban Collector, Industrial Local Street, specifies a
road right-of-way width of 20.0 metres (Collector Standard) for an institutional use. The
existing road right-of-way for Battle Avenue is 18.3 metres, requiring a variance of 1.7
metres. It is anticipated that 0.85 metre will be acquired from the properties to the north
of Battle Avenue, when they re -develop. This application is seeking a variance of 0.85
metre.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Section 903 (3) (d) - "Regulations in addition
to those in Section 403 for the size, shape and siting of buildings and structures in
Institutional zones", specifies that buildings and structures for a "Private Hospital Use"
shall not be sited less than 7.5 metres from all lot lines. Section 403(4)(b)(1) "Regulations
for the size, shape and siting of Buildings and Structures- siting exceptions" allows
architectural elements like chimneys to have a reduced setback of 6.25 metres instead
of required 7.5 metres, from a front, rear or exterior side yard, in the P-2 zone.
The following setbacks are being requested in support of the proposal:
a) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the building facade, be varied
to 3.3 metres (variance of 4.2 metres) in the north-west corner;
b) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the kitchen shaft (chimney), be
varied to 2.7 metres (variance of 3.55 metres);
c) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the building facade, be varied
to 3.6 metres (variance of 3.9 metres) in the north-east corner;
2-
d) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the building facade, be varied
to 3.0 metres (variance of 4.5 metres) in the south-west corner, near office 1
(covered porch area);
e) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the column supporting patio
(canopy), be varied to 1.92 metres (variance of 4.33 metres); and
f) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the building facade be varied
to 2.75 metres (variance of 4.75 metres) in the south-east corner, near
counselling #4 office.
3. Maple Ridge Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No 4350 -1990, Schedule "A" Off -Street
Parking Space Requirements, Section 6.0 Institutional Use, a) Private Hospital Use and rest
homes with or without care, to vary the required off-street parking from required 13 spaces
to 3 spaces for phase 1 and 5 spaces at the end of both the phases.
c) Project Description:
Treatment Centre Use:
In addition to the Maple Crescent facility, Innervisions Recovery Society currently operates two other
drug and alcohol treatment centres; one is the "Hannah House" for women in Maple Ridge and the
other is a facility for men, in Port Coquitlam. "Hannah House", located on the corner of Laity Street
and Dewdney Trunk Road, is a treatment centre for women who voluntarily enter its 60 day
regimented drug/alcohol recovery program. A typical treatment centre would have beds (rooms),
kitchen, and dining, outdoor activity space, counseling rooms, common training room, medical
rooms, common laundry room and administrative office areas. Such a facility is managed by staff
members and volunteers. After the 60 day program is completed, the participants go home or to a
group recovery house that provides further care and support. While in the treatment centre, the
participants are not permitted to have a vehicle or visit friends/family outside the centre. It is a
structured recovery program with strict discipline and any visits outside are organized and monitored
by staff.
Site & Project Characteristics:
The development site, located within the Hammond Area of West Maple Ridge, consists of two
irregular shaped lots that have been consolidated. The consolidated lot size is approximately
1275m2, of which only 567m2 is being rezoned. The remaining site is already zoned P-2 (Special
Institutional) and houses the "Maple Crescent Lodge" which is a recovery house for men.
The development site is surrounded by road on three sides (i.e. Battle Avenue on the north; Maple
Crescent on the south and 206th Street on the east). Both properties are owned by the Innervisions
Recovery Society. The triangular shaped portion is being rezoned to P-2 (Special Institutional zone)
to permit phase 1 of the proposed "Treatment Centre". The existing single family house on the
subject site will be demolished.
The existing "Maple Crescent Lodge" which is a two storey group recovery home with 17 beds,
common kitchen, dining and living rooms. This building is encroaching into the 206th Street road
right of way. While the use is a permitted use in the P-2 (Special Instituitonal) zone, the siting of the
building is non -conforming. This existing structure will be retained during the proposed phase 1 of
the project. Once phase 1 is complete, it is the intention of the owner to eventually relocate the
residents of Maple Crescent Lodge to the new facility, to begin proposed phase 2. Timing of phase 2
is unknown at this time.
3-
The project is proposed in two phases. Phase 1 will include kitchen, dining, laundry and service
areas to serve both the phases in a two storey 17 bed facility. The gross floor area proposed for
phase 1 is 7154 ft2. Phase 2 will include demolition of the existing lodge and addition of 24 beds
and common areas. Phase 2 will be attached to the completed phase 1 building and final product
will be one facility with 41 beds and the required common areas.
A Restrictive Covenant to restrict the development site to a "Treatment Centre" use has been
finalized as a condition of final reading. A basic building scheme Restrictive Covenant specifying the
building footprint for phase 1 and 2 has also been finalized as a condition of final reading.
The exterior design for phase 1 reflects a traditional theme incorporating hipped roofs, gabled
window box outs, covered main entrance, a combination of vinyl siding and vinyl wall shingles for the
facades; gable ends with wood trims and asphalt laminate shingles for roofing. This design is to
ensure a "residential" look to the proposed building for a better fit into the existing context.
Vehicular access to the site is proposed off of Battle Avenue (Appendix C). Due to the flat topography
of the site and location of the existing "Maple Crescent Lodge", the proposed parking area with 3 on-
site spaces would be slightly raised to provide a level access from Battle Avenue. All the off-site
upgrades along Battle Avenue and Maple Crescent have been finalized through a Rezoning Servicing
Agreement Restrictive Covenant.
d) Planning Analysis:
Site Specific Text Amendment:
A site-specific text amendment is required to the P-2 (Special Institutional) zone to permit a higher
density and lot coverage than permitted in the zone. The permitted FSR in the P-2 zone is 0.5 times
the net lot area. Proposed maximum FSR for phase 1 includng the existing gross floor area of the
Maple Crescent Lodge is 0.91 times the net lot area. The gross floor area proposed for phase 1 is
7201 ft2. The permitted lot coverage in the P-2 zone is 40% of the net lot area. The proposed lot
coverage is 49.4% of the net lot area. These are addressed through a site-specific text amendment,
included in the Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6990-2013.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed zone specifies minimum building setbacks of 7.5 metres from all the property lines.
The Zoning Bylaw allows reduced setbacks for architectural elements like canopies, patios,
chimneys, bay windows, hutches, nooks, etc. (through specific siting exceptions), which assist better
articulation on the site. This proposal is seeking some variances as described below.
Proposed Variances:
The Zoning Bylaw, Subdivision Servicing Bylaw and Off- Street Parking & Loading Bylaws establish
general minimum and maximum regulations for specific zones. If the development proposal does not
meet the requirements such as road standards, setbacks, height, on-site parking, etc. the applicant
may seek a variance. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process. Such flexibility can allow an applicant to sensitively fit a project to a challenging site. The
applicant is seeking the following variances as described below.
-4-
Proposed variances to the Zoning Bylaw:
The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985, requires a minimum building facade setback of 7.5
metres from all property lines, for the P-2 zone. Siting exceptions in the Zoning Bylaw allow
architectural features such as chimneys, porches, patios, canopies, etc. to extend up to a maximum
of 1.25 metres into the minimum setbacks for the front, exterior side or rear of the building. In other
words, the minimum front, rear or exterior side yard setbacks for these architectural elements, in the
P-2 zone, is 6.25 metres from the property lines. Due to the challenging triangular lot configuration
and the context of roads on all the sides of the property, the owner is proposing reduced setbacks
along both the street frontages (Maple Crescent and Battle Avenue), as described in section b) of
this report. The staggered building footprint is designed to fit the challenging lot configuration and
brings some building corners into the required setbacks, along the north and south. These setback
variances are not for the whole facade of the building and are intended to improve the street
presence. They are not anticipated to negatively impact the neighbours, as the lots to the north and
south are vacant currently and the property is surrounded by roads. When phase 2 is completed
improvements along 206th are expected, including removal of the existing Maple Crescent Lodge,
encroaching on to 206th Street.
Proposed variances to the Subdivision Servicing Bylaw:
The existing road right-of-way of Battle Avenue is 18.3 metres. This road right-of-way is required to be
a Collector Standard road (20.0 metres wide) due to the proposed institutional use. It is normal
practice to acquire road dedication from properties on either side of a road, when a property is being
rezoned. It is anticipated that 0.85 metre will be dedicated when the properties on the north of
Battle Avenue redevelop in future. The subject site was required to dedicate 0.85 metre of the road
right-of-way, which is the variance being sought. The actual width of the physical road will remain the
same and is not impacted by the variance sought. The Engineering Department is supporting the
variance as all the existing and proposed services can fit within the current road right-of-way of Battle
Avenue. The applicant is still required to upgrade Battle Avenue within the existing width. The
existing width of Maple Crescent is adequate and no road dedication is required.
Proposed variances to the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
As per Maple Ridge Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No 4350 -1990, Schedule "A" Off -Street
Parking Space Requirements, for the P-2 zone, one space is required per 93 m2 of the gross floor
area proposed. A total of 13 parking spaces are required for the proposed total gross floor area. This
proposal is anticipated to have a total of 41 beds (after completion of both phases) and 17 beds in
phase 1, with three to four staff members at any given time on site. Sometimes volunteers drop in to
help. Three parking spaces are proposed in phase 1. When phase 2 will be completed, two additional
spaces are anticipated to be added, giving a total of 5 parking spaces for the 41 bed men's facility.
As described earlier in this report, a "Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centre" is for participants who are
registered in a 60 -day regimented recovery program where driving, vehicle ownership or visitors are
prohibited. The on-site parking requirements are minimal and for staff and/or volunteers only.
Currently the "Hannah House" (similar facility for women) has 11 on-site parking spaces for a 44 bed
facility, out of which only 4 to 5 spaces are used by the staff at any given time.
It is anticipated that some on -street parking may be available along Battle Avenue. Given the parking
usage at "Hannah House" and that the participants of this program are not permitted to drive nor
have visitors, the variance to the parking requirements are supportable.

e) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The Development Information Meeting conducted by the owner on July 31, 2013 and the Public
Hearing held on September 17, 2013 were opportunities for the neighbourhood to express their
concerns regarding the land use.
Specific to the variances sought, the mail -outs to inform residents of the proposed variances were
mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date. Concerned residents in the
neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions.
f) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has finalized the Rezoning Servicing Agreement outlining the required
off-site services and upgrades such as curb, sidewalk, gutter, street trees, street lights, along Battle
Avenue and Maple Crescent, as a condition of final reading. Battle Avenue will not be closed at
Maple Crescent as envisioned in the earlier report, it will remain as existing currently as this proved
to be a better street design. Some on -street parking for visitors may be available along Battle
Avenue. The Engineering staff has no concerns with the proposed variances.
Building Department:
The Building Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the
applicant, to be included in the Building Permit application. The Building staff has no concerns with
the proposed variances. The on-site landscaping refundable securities will be collected at the
Building Permit approval stage as a Development Permit is not required for an institutional use, so
there is no mechanism to collect the refundable securities at this stage.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns with the proposed variances.
g) Alternatives:
Council has given Third Reading to the rezoning application and will be reviewing the Final Reading
Report for 2013-021-RZ at the March 25, 2014 Council Meeting. The developer has paid all the
required securities in support of the off-site servicing upgrades. The solicitor has submitted all the
legal documents for registration into the Land Title Office. Not approving this proposal would result
in the subject site remaining without the proposed site improvements. Council approval is required
for the variances as presented in this report prior to a Building Permit being issued.
CONCLUSIONS:
The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the Official Community Plan. This
proposal will be a joint venture between B. C. Housing and the Innervisions Recovery Society. The
applicant has acquired partial funding for this project from the Federal Government through the
Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS). The proposed facility for men is another initiative to
provide this required service in our community.

The proposed variances are supported by the Planning, Building and Engineering Departments, and
the Approving Officer. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered
and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2013-021-

District of Maple Ridge
TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2013-096-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Tandem Parking in the RM -1 Zone
Second Reading: Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7024-2013 and
Second and Third Reading: Off -Street Parking & Loading Amending
Bylaw No. 7025-2013
PURPOSE:
Following the Public Open House feedback and pursuant to Council's resolution of February 17,
2014, the proposed bylaws that were given first reading on October 8, 2013, have been revised as
described in this report and are attached in Appendices A and B. The revisions include the
following: clarifying that the driveway apron requirement is applicable to a 2 car enclosed tandem
garage (not all tandem arrangements); ensuring some flexibility in the block size restriction;
eliminating the 70% restriction on tandem parking; and eliminating the increased amenity area for
tandem units. The proposed definition for `Tandem Parking" and the internal clear garage
dimensions remain unchanged. The report also provides alternatives for Council's consideration.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7024-2013 as amended be given second reading and
forwarded to Public Hearing; and
2) That Off -Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7025-2013 as amended be
given second and third reading.
DISCUSSION:
I. BACKGROUND:
In recent years, the District has seen an increase in the number of townhouse development projects
with all tandem parking units in the RM -1 zone. Council and neighbourhoods have expressed
concerns about the impacts of parking from such developments. Council directed staff to review the
use and impacts of tandem parking.
The Discussion Paper dated May 27, 2013, reviewed regulations in other municipalities and
reviewed concerns with tandem parking in the existing townhouse complexes in the District,
including 18 scenarios of tandem parking in the RM -1 zone. The first reading report dated October
7, 2013, recognized that there may be implications from these bylaw amendments and
recommended that staff proceed with a Public Open House to seek input from the residents and the
1107
development industry. A Public Open House was scheduled on Tuesday, November 13, 2013. On
February 17, 2014 Council was updated on the open house findings. At this meeting Council
passed the following resolution:
"That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7024-2013 and Off -Street parking and Loading Amending bylaw
No. 7025-2013 be revised as per the staff report dated February 17, 2014".
While the few residents who attended the open house were in general support of the proposed
bylaw amendments as worded in the first reading report, none of them live in a townhouse complex
and due to the very small proportion of citizen participation, the responses received were not
necessarily representative of all the Maple Ridge residents. On the other hand, representation from
the development industry was also limited at the open house, however, they expressed concerns
with project feasibility and reduction in unit yield if the 70% tandem restriction were to be adopted.
The proposed bylaw revisions are an effort to balance the concerns expressed at the open house by
both parties. There are also some existing projects that are at various stages of approval that still
reflect 100% tandem parking in the RM -1 zone. On a site-specific basis, staff is currently working
through several townhouse projects that are making an effort to provide some reasonable
proportion of 2 -car double wide units (instead of 100% tandem units).
II. PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS (APPENDIX A):
a) Definition of Tandem Parking:
The following definition for tandem parking is to be added to the PART 2 INTERPRETATION section of
the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985:
TANDEM PARKING USE- means the placement of one parking space behind another parking space,
such that only one parking space has unobstructed access to a driveway/road.
The above definition allows two arrangements of tandem parking (i.e. a unit with 2 -car tandem
garage or a unit with one car garage and a tandem parking space on the driveway apron) as shown
in the sketches below:

b) RM -1 (Townhouse Residential District) zone:
Section 602, RM -1, TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT be amended by adding the following:
g) Townhouses in the RM -1 zone must be limited to six (6) attached units in one block,
not to exceed a length of 45 metres (147.5 feet).
The open house feedback suggests that there is general support for this amendment that provides
flexibility to accommodate any combinations of units and to encourage a mix of unit types (tandem
and double) in each block. Allowing a maximum of six (6) attached units per block is a consistent
approach followed in other jurisdictions and the District's RST -SV (Street Townhouse -Silver Valley)
zone. Block sizes that exceed six units can create a monotonous facade. Smaller blocks of units
create well -articulated facades and end units, separated with green buffers in between the blocks
that promote natural light and views. Smaller block sizes due to a smaller footprint, may assist
efforts to protect more trees on development sites.
III. PROPOSED OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING BYLAW AMENDMENTS1 (APPENDIX B):
The Off -Street Parking design provisions of the Parking Bylaw for the RM -1 zone, are to be amended
as follows:
a) Driveway Apron:
The bylaw contains an amendment to the design standards to require that a 2 -car enclosed tandem
garage be provided with a driveway apron. The proposed regulation reads:
Section 4.1 (a) vii) Townhouse units with an enclosed 2 -car tandem parking garage in the
RM -1 zone, other than within the Town Centre Area Plan as shown on
Schedule B of the Official Community plan, shall provide a minimum
driveway apron of 5.5 metres in length and 3.0 metres in width.
The feedback from the open house suggests that a tandem arrangement with a single garage and a
second parking space on the driveway apron would be the most feasible option. However, the design
featuring a fully enclosed 2 -car tandem garage seems to be problematic. This is because of the
inner parking space having the potential to be easily converted to storage or habitable area. A
driveway apron requirement for this specific unit type may help reduce parking problems. The
development industry is concerned about every tandem unit requiring 3 parking spaces if applied to
both the tandem unit designs. The recommended revision will require a driveway apron only for the
units having an enclosed 2 -car tandem garage. With the proposed revision, the development will still
have the flexibility of offering a proportion of both types of tandem arrangement based on their
marketing plan.
1 1 It should be noted that the amendments to the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw are not required to go to the
Public Hearing. Section 890 of the Local Government Act requires that the Local Government must not adopt an Official
Community Plan bylaw or a Zoning Bylaw without holding a Public Hearing. The Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw is
exempt from this requirement.
-3-
b) Minimum internal clear dimensions for garages:
The proposed bylaw amendment will establish the minimum internal clear dimensions for garages in
the RM -1 zone.
Section 4.1 c) Off -Street parking spaces within a garage, for a townhouse unit in the
RM -1 zone, shall have internal dimensions of not Tess than the following:
Single car garage: 3.1 metres wide and 6.1 metres long;
Tandem 2 -car garage: 3.1 metres wide and 12.2 metres long;
Double wide garage: 5.6 metres wide and 6.1 metres long.
This regulation is based on standard car sizes and the safe clearance required from the internal
garage walls. The Building Department has confirmed these dimensions will work for most standard
cars. The feedback from the open house suggests that these dimensions are not adequate for
bigger vehicles. Larger vehicles such as trucks, SUVs and extended vans may be parked on the
driveway apron. It is also noted that these dimensions are minimums and a developer can make
the garages larger should they prefer.
IV. INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department does not have any concerns with the proposed bylaw amendments.
Fire Department:
The Fire Department confirmed that parking on strata roads is a concern and they are supportive of
the driveway apron requirement for a 2 -car tandem garage unit.
Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department:
The Building Department supports the minimum clear width and depth for single, tandem and
double car garage in the RM -1 zone, being added in the existing Parking Bylaw. Regarding parking
concerns on strata property, the District relies on the Strata Council to deal with these issues.
Sometimes the visitor parking stalls are used by residents or cars are parked within the 6.0 metre
wide strata road. In such instances, Strata Councils are responsible for enforcing parking on the
property; however they are not always successful. Enforcement will be in accordance with existing
Bylaw enforcement regulations and procedures. The District does not enforce parking regulations
on strata property. This responsibility falls to each Strata Council to enforce it's own bylaws and
regulations, including the on-site parking restrictions. The Building Permit drawings are required to
show locations of "no parking" areas, on the drawings. The Strata Council is expected to prevent
tandem parking conversions and the "no parking" on site where posted.
-4-
V. IN -STREAM DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS REZONING TO RM -1:
It is recommended that any in -stream townhouse development applications that have not been
presented at a Public Hearing, before final adoption of the proposed bylaws, be permitted to seek a
variance if they do not comply. Each development application for the RM -1 zone will be considered
by Council on its own merit.
VI. CITIZEN/CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS:
The proposed bylaw amendments to the RM -1 zone of the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-
1985 will be forwarded to a Public Hearing, while the proposed bylaw amendments to the Off -Street
and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 are not required to be forwarded to a Public Hearing. The
citizens will have an opportunity to voice their concerns on the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments
at the Public Hearing.
VII. ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives were raised by Council at the February 17, 2014 Council Workshop.
Alternatives to the recommendations made in this report are:
Apron length:
a) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (applicable to the RM -1 zone) be
amended to increase the minimum apron length to 6.0 metres (instead of the proposed 5.5
metres), required for all the units with a fully enclosed 2 -car tandem garage;
The proposed 6.0 metre minimum driveway apron length (required only for a 2 -car fully enclosed
tandem garage) will likely prevent larger vehicles from encroaching onto a strata road, but may have
an impact on the total unit yield.
Visitor Parking:
b) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (applicable to the RM -1 zone) be
amended to increase the visitor parking ratio to 0.25 spaces (instead of 0.2 spaces per unit)
required per tandem unit;
The on-site parking concerns on townhouse sites are mainly due to lack of residential parking
spaces due to maximizing tandem units on site, lack of driveway aprons and possible conversions of
an internal tandem garage. The District relies on the Strata Council to enforce the visitor parking
stalls. Increasing the visitor parking ratio may not adequately resolve lack of on-site parking
concerns for the residents.
5-
70% Tandem Restriction:
c) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw be amended to include a 70%
restriction (or any other proportion restriction) on tandem proportion instead of 100% permitted
currently, in the RM -1 zone, except in the Town Centre Area;
This approach would likely help encourage a variety of tandem and 2 car double wide garage units
within a townhouse complex. It does however; require some creative design, staggering and
possibly the use of retaining walls on sloping sites. This requirement was in the Draft Bylaw that was
presented at the open house and it was not supported by the development community and the
Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association. Concerns noted included a resulting negative impact
on affordability and/or project feasibility due to reduced density and unit yield for townhouse sites.
Restrictive Covenants:
d) That Council pass a resolution requiring registering a Restrictive Covenant on the tandem
parking space in the RM -1 zone to prohibit conversion to storage/living space.
As mentioned earlier in this report, the Strata Councils are responsible for enforcing parking on
strata property. A suggestion has been made that a Restrictive Covenant could be an effective tool
in discouraging tandem garage conversions into storage/living space. Township of Langley requires
a Restrictive Covenant for a tandem space, but the feedback tells us it is challenging to enforce.
Enforcing parking regulations on strata property can be challenging for the District. Long-term
preservation of tandem parking space cannot necessarily be secured through the use of a
Restrictive Covenant. The District solicitor has noted that such enforcement can be very costly and is
not a necessarily practical solution. If Council is looking to use a Restrictive Covenant as simply
being a means of providing information, this approach may be feasible. However, if the use of a
Restrictive Covenant is intended as an effective enforcement tool, this approach is not
recommended.
CONCLUSION:
The Public Open House was a good opportunity for residents and developers to understand
Council's concerns with tandem parking and an opportunity to comment on the proposed
regulations. The proposed block size restriction and driveway apron requirement for all the enclosed
2 -car tandem garage units could address concerns with on-site and off-site parking. Alternatives to
the recommendations in this report are stated above, for Council consideration. Based on the open
house feedback, it is recommended that the proposed revisions to the bylaw amendments be
favourably considered.
The proposed bylaw amendments are meant to achieve a balance for providing for additional space
on townhouse sites without impacting the unit yield or project feasibility for the development
community. The proposed amendments also introduce a maximum block size and minimum
internal garage dimensions that was generally supportable by the community. On a site-specific
basis, staff is currently working through several in- stream townhouse projects that are making an
6-
effort to provide some reasonable proportion of 2 -car double wide units (instead of 100% tandem
units).
It is recommended that Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7024-2013 as amended be given second reading
and forwarded to Public Hearing, and the Off -Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7025-
2013 as amended be given second and third reading.

District of Maple Ridge
TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 6968-2013
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the December 2, 2013 Workshop, Council received an update on the preparation of a new Smoking
Bylaw. At that meeting Council provided feedback on the proposed Bylaw and specific changes were
made to reflect the discussion in Workshop. The purpose of this report is to bring back the amended
proposed Bylaw for Council's consideration and any further discussion that may be warranted.
The Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 5495-1997 should be rescinded in its entirety as it is
outdated and is no longer supported by Provincial legislation.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
THAT Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No.6968-2013 be given first, second and third readings;
and
THAT Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No.6968-2013 is forwarded to the Minister of Health for
approval.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The most recent amendments to the Tobacco Control Act regarding the prohibition of smoking were
passed in the legislature in 2007, 2008 and 2013. These amendments provide local government
with the ability to ban smoking within at least 3 meters of commercial and municipal buildings as
well as municipal parks and playgrounds. If a local government wishes to expand on that distance
they may do so. The regulations are more stringent now in prohibiting both indoor and outdoor
smoking. Additionally, Work Safe BC has tightened up their enforcement requirements for areas of
business and work. The only indoor areas that are not governed by this legislation are dwelling units
as defined under the Zoning Bylaw; a hotel or motel room designated for smoking; enclosed
premises not open to the public where the occupants are the owner or owners of the business
carried on in the premises. All other premises are non-smoking areas within certain distances from
buildings or places.
Currently, Fraser Health is doing enforcement under the Tobacco Control Act Regulation however
strictly from an educational approach. They have extremely limited resources focused in this area.
This includes monitoring businesses for infractions regarding the selling of tobacco as well as
monitoring smoking in public places. However their principle focus is the selling of tobacco to minors.
The attached table set out in Appendix I compares neighbouring municipalities.
1108
Page 1of2
There is a range among municipalities with regard to the distance within which smoking is
prohibited. The distance previously recommended was 6 metres. The proposed distance has been
amended to 7.5 metres to reflect the discussion at the December 2, 2013 Workshop. This distance
matches the distance in Pitt Meadows Bylaw which makes it easier for our residents and those of
Pitt Meadows to follow when sharing our trails, parks and facilities.
The proposed Bylaw is mainly an educational enactment for the most part. In most jurisdictions, the
Health Inspectors and the Business Licence Department take on a significant amount of the
educational component, resources permitting. For continuity sake the staff positions named in the
bylaw as having the authority to enforce are the Medical Health Officers, or their delegates, Bylaw
Enforcement Officers, members of the local RCMP and members of the local Fire Department and
any other staff person designated by Council. This is to ensure that all staff members in an
enforcement field are aware of the regulations and can easily pass them along to the public.
Specific signage is another required component of this proposed Bylaw and in most other
municipalities either the Health Unit has picked up the cost of signage or they have worked with the
BC Lung Association in having the signs created and then it is a local staff function to conduct the
educational component including distributing the required signs to the individual businesses.
The District of Maple Ridge would be required to post their own signs in areas where smoking is not
permitted on municipal property including parks and playgrounds that is different than the current
regulations.
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The changes in the bylaw will ensure that the District of Maple Ridge Bylaw is in alignment with
current Provincial legislation.
c) Alternatives:
Do not adopt Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 6968-2013 and use the Provincial statute
as written, leaving it up to the Province for complete enforcement, and provide staff with further
direction.
CONCLUSIONS:
Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No. 5495-1997 is outdated and does not align with the current
Provincial Tobacco Control Act. Because of this, it should be rescinded in its entirety regardless of
whether this new Bylaw is adopted.
The adoption of the new Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw will bring the District's regulations in line
with the Provincial regulations.

MAPLE RIDGE
British Co lumh la
District of Maple Ridge
TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014
and Members of Council
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW
SUBJECT: Shaw Wi-Fi Proposal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Shaw Communications has approached the District about installing a wireless internet service in
public areas (ie - Wi-Fi). District staff and Shaw representatives have discussed the characteristics
of what that may look like.
An agreement with Shaw will benefit the District. Although the Wi-Fi service will be a complimentary
service mainly for Shaw Internet customers, and will not be available to others, it will have the
benefit of a free public service component in the downtown institutional core of the community. In
this area, bounded by the Bus Loop to Spirit Square, it will give citizens the latest in communication
capabilities and provide a convenience to the public, businesses and staff alike. However, Shaw
recognizes that the agreement would not be exclusive, the District would be free to accommodate
other Wi-Fi service providers if approached.
Beyond the downtown core, the District will receive revenue for the installation of each Access Point
(ie - radio) on an annual basis. Some of the locations may not be feasible as they may be controlled
by others (eg - School District), or have practical limitations (eg - no power). However, given the
proposed roll-out of locations, the potential exists for $12,640 of annual revenue once all the District
controlled sites are completed. There will be staff review of each of the proposed locations to ensure
the location is appropriate, that the installation is proper, and that operation and maintenance is
considered. As well, there may be other locations that should be considered.
Although there are positive features to this proposal, staff have concerns about the collection and
use of `personal' information. To utilize the free public `guest' access service around the community
core, a user must create a basic profile including name, address, phone number and valid email
address. There are public concerns around access to, and use of, personal information. Although
Shaw is concerned about who is on their wireless network, there are other ways to monitor usage
and manage problem users.
It is recommended Council instruct staff to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications
outlining the key characteristics of the understanding as noted in this memo and attached as
Appendix 1, Shaw Letter of Commitment, except for the 4th bullet, the collection of personal
information for `guest' access, and include those general locations noted in Appendix 2, Locations of
Interest.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT staff be directed to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications to provide a Wi-Fi
service utilizing District properties in accordance with the commitments noted in the Letter of
Commitment in Appendix 1 of the staff report dated March 17, 2014, with the exception of the
collection and use of personal information for public access; and
THAT the range of District properties for inclusion of the new service be supported as noted in
Appendix 2, Locations of Interest, of the staff report dated March 17, 2014.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Shaw Communications is developing a Wi-Fi network1. The objectives are to offer the service as a
value -add to Shaw Internet customers and to take advantage of mobility trends2. This service will
allow any Shaw Internet customer to wirelessly connect their mobile computer to the Internet for free
wherever there is a Shaw Wi-Fi network connection, like in businesses, parks, on public streets, etc.
Shaw has implemented portions of the wireless network by negotiating agreements with small
businesses, throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere, to host their equipment and offer a
`hotspot' service3. This piecemeal approach will create a mosaic of hotspots that eventually will need
to be filled-in to form complete outdoor and business coverage for Shaw cable customers in select
areas.
A key part of their strategy is to fill-in the gaps in the network by placing Wi-Fi gear in, or on, public
assets like streetlights, public buildings, parks, recreation centres, and other public assembly
locations. This approach will allow them to standardize the service and build -out the coverage much
quicker.
It is recognized that Wi-Fi signals are unregulated and there is potential for conflict with other Wi-Fi
installations, but Shaw has committed to work with affected users to ensure appropriate sharing of
the airwaves. Shaw also understands that the potential agreement will not be exclusive to Shaw and
it's customers. Should another Wi-Fi network provider approach the District for the installation of
equipment, the District would review the effort in a similar manner to that used for the Shaw service.
Shaw has negotiated agreements for the service with many cities in Western Canada and is actively
pursuing many of the larger communities in British Columbia. They have approached Maple Ridge for
a review of opportunities to install their Wi-Fi services in select public assembly locations and we
have developed a letter of commitment attached as Appendix 1.
Shaw has proposed the installation of Access Points (ie - radios) in the locations identified in
Appendix 2. Although there are some limitations to the proposed locations and the ability of the
District to control the sites, generally we are in agreement. However, each site will need to be
1 See definition of Wi-Fi : <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi> .
2 See Globe and Mail article on Shaw business strategy: <http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/in-battle-with-telus-shaw-
bets-big_on-wifi/article17182266/?page=all>.
3 See Shaw Go Wi-Fi locations: <http://www.shaw.ca/wifi/locations/> .
2
specifically investigated for feasibility of the service, so some adjustments to which sites are
implemented is inevitable.
The key features of our draft proposal are:
1. Shaw will pay $40/year per indoor access point.
2. Shaw will pay $200/year per outdoor access point.
3. Shaw has agreed that the District Freetown wireless footprint will be rebuilt and run by Shaw
as a free `guest' service to all of a performance equal to that offered to Shaw customers. This
wireless coverage is to include the institutional core of the community, including the inside of
District owned buildings, from the bus loop to the Spirit Square locations.
To use the `free' guest access to the Shaw Wi-Fi service around our institutional core, a user would
need to `register'. This registration process would see a `guest' user fill out a form requiring name,
address, phone number and email address, which is collected by Shaw. Once they activate a link in
a validating email, they will be redirected to the District website which will not contain advertising.
From there, the `guest' user will be able to go to other websites if desired.
Although Shaw has agreed to limit the collection of personal data to the creation of a profile for log -in
purposes, staff has concerns about the collection of personal information as it is a high-profile public
concern enabling unwanted marketing opportunities, and `tracking' of the user. According to Shaw
representatives, the collection of such personal information is necessary to track usage and manage
risk. From a staff perspective, the collection of such information should be optional. A true public
service is unfettered and inclusive.
b) Desired Outcome:
Council support for proceeding with an agreement with Shaw for the establishment of their
equipment onto select District assets utilizing the framework of commitments noted in the appended
Shaw letter.
Council direction on whether they would support the collection of personal information for access to
a 'guest' service..
c) Strategic Alignment:
Private Wi-Fi networks are very common. Many businesses and residences have wireless Internet
access utilizing the Wi-Fi standard. Public wireless networks are not as common but are expected to
experience a resurgence. There are advantages to promoting such wireless services:
- economic development;
- community building;
- promoting use of technology and improved communications;
drive traffic to the District website;
- raise secondary revenue.
However, it is important to keep in mind that the proposed Wi-Fi network is not a public service. It is
for Shaw customers, with restricted access for `guest' users in a select area. It can be considered
commercializing public air waves, since the Wi-Fi radio standard is `unlicenced'. However, there is a
significant benefit to a large portion of District residents (eg - Shaw customers), and it includes a
limited `public' access element.
3
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Prior to implementation, District staff from the Engineering and Operations Departments, as well as
the IT Department, Parks, Facilities, and Permits, will need to meet with Shaw staff to go over the
details of specific locations for outdoor and indoor radios in terms of mounting, power access,
connectivity, inspection, operation and ongoing management.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
If all the sites the District controls are implemented as planned, the District will receive about
$12,640 per year from the agreement, plus the public `guest' access in the institutional core around
Memorial Peace Park. This will be from a combination of 88 total radio installations, comprised of 57
outdoor and 31 indoor locations. The network may be expanded over time and that may raise
additional revenue.
As well, the `Freetown' wireless service will be absorbed and operated by Shaw thereby eliminating
support and equipment costs borne by the District.
Health Concerns:
Concerns have been expressed about the potential health impacts of radio frequency emissions
(RF). Given current scientific evidence, public health officials conclude that exposure to common
electromagnetic fields, such as from FM radio, baby monitors, cell phones, Wi-Fi and SMART meters,
does not constitute a threat to public health4.
The RF exposure levels of Shaw Wi-Fi equipment are well below Canadian and international
standards.
Alternatives:
Shaw has identified certain facilities and streets where public use will be high. These are their
preferred locations to introduce their new Wi-Fi service. If the free public service in the downtown
core is not agreeable, the alternatives are:
1. Negotiate a pure commercial agreement. Limit the discussions to revenue considerations
only.
2. Negotiate free public access everywhere the service is located. This will not yield any
secondary revenue.
3. Do not agree to accommodate the Shaw Wi-Fi service.
With respect to the collection of personal information during the creation of a user profile for guest
access, the only alternative could be to require `anonymous' guest access, or to require the
collection of such information to be optional. This approach, to staff, would constitute a true,
unfettered, inclusive `public' service.

See Appendix 3, and <http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/iyh-vsv/prod/wifi-eng.php>; and
<http://www.bccdc.ca/healthenv/ElectromagFields/RadioFrequency/default.htm> .

CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed agreement with Shaw will benefit the District. Although the Wi-Fi service will be a
complimentary service mainly for Shaw Internet customers, and will not be available to others, it will
have the benefit of a limited free `public' service component in the downtown institutional core of the
community. In this area, it will give citizens the latest in communication capabilities and provide a
convenience to citizens, businesses and staff alike. However, Shaw recognizes that the agreement
would not be exclusive; the District would be free to accommodate other Wi-Fi service providers if
approached.
Unfortunately, to access the free public guest service, a user will have to register a limited profile and
surrender private information. Staff preference would be to have this profile creation step become
optional, as it will then be perceived as an inclusive `public' service with a minimum of difficulty.
Beyond the downtown core, the District will receive revenue for the installation of each access point
(ie - radio) on an annual basis. Some of the locations may not be feasible as they may be controlled
by others (eg - Planet Ice), or have practical limitations (eg - no power). However, given the
proposed roll-out of locations, the potential exists for $12,640 of annual revenue once all the District
controlled sites are completed. There will be staff review of each of the proposed locations to ensure
the location is appropriate, that the installation is proper, and that operation and maintenance is
considered.
It is recommended Council instruct staff to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications
outlining the key characteristics of the understanding as noted in this memo and attached as
Appendix 1, Shaw Letter of Commitment, for the locations described in Appendix 2, incorporating
Council desires on the collection of personal information.

THE ISSUE
Wi-Fi equipment is being installed
in many public pieces across Canada

venues end coffee shops. Some people
are concemed that radiation from WI-Fi
equipment could cause health problems
and that children mey beat particular risk
in school environments.

such as home a'id portao a computers,
