COMMUNITY FORUM Checked by:________________ Date: ________________ COMMUNITY FORUM The Community Forum provides the public with an opportunity to speak with Council on items that are of concern to them, with the exception of Public Hearing by-laws that have not yet reached conclusion. Each person will be permitted 2 minutes to speak or ask questions (a second opportunity is permitted if no one else is sitting in the chairs in front of the podium). Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to the individual members of Council. The total time for this Forum is limited to 15 minutes. If a question cannot be answered, the speaker will be advised when and how a response will be given. Council will not tolerate any derogatory remarks directed at Council or staff members. Other opportunities are available to address Council including public hearings and delegations. The public may also make their views known to Council by writing or via email and by attending open houses, workshops and information meetings. Serving on an Advisory Committee is an excellent way to have a voice in the future of this community. For more information on these opportunities contact: Clerk’s Department at 604-463-5221 or clerks@mapleridge.ca Mayor and Council at mayorandcouncil@mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: August 29, 2016 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-189-RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7275-2016 12234 Laity Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 12234 Laity Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) to permit development of a duplex. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. As per Council Policy, duplex dwelling units where only one building is being constructed are exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program. The City has been undergoing a Zoning Bylaw review and through the process have identified regulation changes to modernize the bylaw. Over the past year, Council noted an interest in advancing certain changes to the bylaw, rather than waiting for the completion of the new Zoning Bylaw. This proposed development application represents one such Zoning Bylaw change, as it would provide for duplex form of development on lots 750 m² in area and respond to changing development styles, affordability and market demand. Bylaw No. 7275-2016 will reduce the minimum parcel size, minimum width and depth in the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone. The proposed zoning regulations for the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone are: 750m² (8,073m²) area, 20m (66 ft.) width and 27m (89 ft.) depth. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No.7275-2016 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Shamshinder Sidhu Owner: Shamshinder Sidhu Legal Description: Lot 5 District Lot 248 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 14686 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential 1101 - 2 - Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Duplex Site Area: 809 m² (8,709 ft.) Access: Laity Street or 122 Avenue Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject property is 809 m² (8,709 ft.) in size and bound by single family residential lots. The property is located on a corner and fronts Laity Street and 122 Avenue. The subject property is flat with vegetation located along the eastern property boundary. c) Project Description: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential), to permit the development of a duplex. The application also includes an amendment that will reduce the minimum parcel size and regulations for the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone from 891 m² (9,591 ft.) to 750 m² (8,073 ft.). At this time the current application has been assessed to d etermine 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. - 3 - d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The OCP designates the property Urban Residential, and development of the property is subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP. These policies require that development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. The proposed rezoning to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) is in conformance with the Urban Residential designation and Major Corridor infill policies. It is noted that one of the underlying principles in the OCP is to encourage growth within the Urban Area Boundary (UAB) and to accommodate growth through infill by promoting a mix of housing types and tenures (Policy 3-1). The Residential Infill and Compatibility Criteria all support a change in the unit type, and specifically cite that duplex development is both compatible and desirable in the City (Policies 3-19 and 3-20). Housing Action Plan The Housing Action Plan was endorsed in 2014, and includes a number of goals and principles aimed at providing safe, affordable and appropriate housing for the community. Specific goals in support of encouraging duplex housing include: “To improve housing choice for all current and future households”. Strategy #1 Housing Action Plan relates to housing mix and innovation and reads “support the development of a mix of housing forms”. Based on the above, it is clear that reducing minimum parcel size to the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone is in alignment with the goals, principles and strategies in the Housing Action Plan, as it will encourage duplex housing in the City. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 12234 Laity Street, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) to permit a duplex. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668m2 (7,191 ft²), and the minimum lot size for the proposed RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone is 891m2 (9,591 ft²). As part of the Zoning Bylaw review process, the minimum parcel dimensions and parcel area for the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone are proposed to be reduced to maximize opportunities for duplex infill in the city. Given that the subject property does not meet the current width and area for the existing RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone, but does meet the proposed draft regulations, this report supports the application. A text amendm ent for the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone is included with the subject application, which has been brought forward in advance of the complete draft Zoning Bylaw to facilitate this application. A text amendment to the RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone to allow a minimum lot size of 750m² (8,073 ft²) has been prepared in support of this application. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw for road width. It is noted that two separate rezoning applications have received first reading for duplex development, with one of the applications, 2014-076-RZ, located in the Town Centre. Under that application, a smaller minimum lot size is permitted for a duplex in the Town Centre provided that the property is a corner lot or has access to a rear lane. For consistency, both the Town Centre and general duplex provisions will be included in both amending bylaws and the amendments will be finalized once the first application receives final reading. - 4 - Development Permits: A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning, as a duplex is exempt from the Development Permit Area Guidelines. However, a Section 219 Restrictive Covenant will be required to regulate the form and character of the duplex. The RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone does not permit secondary suites, and this restriction will be considered in the design of the building. Advisory Design Panel: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a duplex 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 5 dwelling units. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) School District; 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) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and 2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E) The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. ALTERNATIVE: Staff recommendation is in support of the Zoning Bylaw Amendment to the RT -1 (Two Family Urban Residential) zone; however, if Council is not comfortable with the Zoning Bylaw Amendment for all duplexes, each application could require a site specific amendment only. - 5 - CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. “Original signed by Adam Rieu” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adam Rieu Planning Technician “Original signed by Chuck Goddard” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries, yields, OCP designations, and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is currently designated Urban Residential – Major Corridor. This designation is characterized by having frontage on a Major Road Corridor as identified on Figure 4 of the OCP, or has frontage on a road built in whole or part to a collector, arterial, Translink Major Road, or Provincial Highway standard. This designation includes ground-oriented housing forms such as single detached dwellings, garden suites, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses, apartments, or small lot intensive residential, subject to compliance with Major Corridor Residential Infill policies. - 3 - The subdivision of this property into two lots and use of the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is in compliance with the OCP. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 20395 123 Avenue from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) (see Appendix B) to permit future subdivision into two single family lots of approximately 1200 m² (see Appendix C). Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. 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) Licences, Permits and Bylaws Department; and e) 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) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 – 1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and 2. 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 Official Community Plan, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. - 4 - The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the District of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer. “Original signed by Diana Hall” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Diana Hall, M.A (Planning), MCIP, RPP Planner “Original signed by Chuck Goddard” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. As this application proposes fewer than 3 new lots being created, it is exempt from the requirements under the Community Amenity Contribution Policy 6.31. The current use of the property is non-conforming with respect to its current RS-1 Zoning, as there are 2 existing houses on the property. The applicant intends to retain both dwellings with this application. Ensuring that both dwelling units are code compliant will be a requirement prior to final adoption of this rezoning application. As this application will create two legally conforming parcels that are in conformance with the Official Community Plan, this application is supportable. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7273-2016 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule B of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Bert G Pogany Owner: Bert G Pogany & Fay D Pogany Legal Description: D.L.: 279, Plan: NWP114 OCP: Existing: RES (Urban Residential) Proposed: Low/Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) 1103 - 2 - Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Urban Residential Zone: RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Designation: Urban Residential South: Use: Single Family Urban Residential Zone: RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Sawmill Zone: M-2 General Industrial Designation: Industrial West: Use: Single Family Urban Residential Zone: RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Urban Residential Proposed Use of Property: no change Site Area: 0.133 HA. (14, 316 square feet) Access: Chigwell Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject property is within the Hammond Area Plan, in a precinct identified as Lower Hammond . The historic subdivision plan of this area shows that this parcel was once two properties that were later consolidated into one. To its east, the property is adjacent to the Hammond Mill. A tall cedar hedge buffers between residential and the industrial uses. This portion of Hammond is within the floodplain of the Fraser River. As a result, flood construction levels for human habitation would apply. c) Project Description: This application is the first stage in the eventual rezoning and subdivision of the subject property to create two parcels in compliance with the Official Community Plan. This rezoning and subdivision would ordinarily be a fairly straight forward application. However, the complicating factors of this application are the existing structures, which the applicant intends to retain, resulting in one single family home on each property. One of the created parcels will be larger than the minimum parcel size of the RS-1 Zone (minimum parcel size is 668 m2). The other created parcel will comply with RS- 1b Zoning (minimum parcel size is 557 m2). The existing dwelling on the larger parcel will encroach into the required side yard setback. The applicant states that the existing dwelling on the larger parcel will encroach into the required side yard setback. The applicant has also submitted a Development Variance Permit in order to vary the required side yard setback. More detailed survey work will be required in order to determine the extent of the encroachment into the 1.5 metre required side yard setback in the RS-1b zone. 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. - 3 - d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Hammond Area Plan and is currently designated Urban Residential. No change to existing single family uses are proposed for this precinct in the Hammond Area Plan. Therefore this proposal should be considered consistent with the Official Community Plan. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 20434 Chigwell Street from RS- 1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit 2 lots. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 One Family Urban Residential zone is 668 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: The subject property is within the Fraser River floodplain. 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. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become nec essary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. The Building Department has provided an initial review of this proposal, and notes that there are outstanding permits requiring completion. The retention of the existing structures with this application will require completion and redress of any building permit deficiencies. A surveyor will need to provide building elevations and the extent of encroachment into setback areas prior to the Development Variance Permit being issued. In addition, there will need to be assurance from qualified professionals that the existing structures to be retained are code compliant and safe for the use intended. - 4 - 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. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. f) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B or Schedule C); 2. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 3. A Subdivision Application (provided); and 4. A Development Variance Application (provided). 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 OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer. “Original signed by Diana Hall” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Diana Hall MA (Planning) MCIP, RPP Planner 2 “Original signed by Chuck Goddard” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

The proposed Phase 4 subdivision plan (Appendix D) is conceptual at this time as the developable area has not been determined. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. An Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment is required to adjust the Conservation boundary and to add the horse trail location. Pursuant to Council resolution, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 475 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.Boards of Education, 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 City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7269-2016 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, F, G and J of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application. 1104 - 2 - DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Paul Hayes Owner: 581600 BC LTD Legal Description: Lot 9, Section 29, Township 12, NWD Plan 9387 OCP: Existing: Eco Clusters, Conservation Proposed: Eco Clusters, Conservation Zoning: Existing: R-1 (Residential District), RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: R-1 (Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District Designation: Eco Clusters, Conservation South: Use: Rural Residential, Agriculture Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural East: Use: Single Family Residential, Park Zone: R-1 (Residential District), R-2 (Urban Residential District) Designation: Eco Clusters, Conservation West: Use: Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 11.76 hectares (29.06 acres) Access: 136 Avenue Servicing requirement: Urban Standard Concurrent Applications: 2015-207-SD (Phase 1), 2016-239-SD (Phase 2), DP/096/07 (WP/NF), 2015-207-DP (WF), b) Site Characteristics: The subject property is located in the southwest corner of the Silver Valley Area Plan. The area to be rezoned is approximately 1 hectare (2.47 acres) located on the south side of the subject property, west of the pond. The overall site slopes from the northeast corner, adjacent to the Nelson Peak Park, down to the southwest, where the low lying areas are in the Alouette River floodplain. A pond is located in the southeast corner and the main channel of Cattell Brook is located south of the property. The - 3 - property is surrounded by Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) on the south and west; and by Eco Cluster development on the north (Formosa Plateau) and east (Nelson Peak). The property is vacant, has been logged in the past, and has been impacted by the use of off-road vehicles and the dumping of refuse. c) Background: The majority of the property was rezoned to R-1 (Residential District) with the approval of rezoning application RZ/013/97 in 2001. At that time, a Comprehensive Plan of Development was registered on the property as a restrictive covenant to guide the future subdivision of the land. The area to be rezoned with this application was originally intended to be zoned RM-1 with the 1997 rezoning application but, after consideration of the environmental constraints on the site, the applicant elected not to proceed with the RM-1 rezoning at that time. The property is to be subdivided and constructed in four phases. Currently, the Planning Department is processing subdivision applications for Phase 1 (2015-107-SD) and Phase 2 (2016-239-SD) of development on the site along with a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit (DP/096/07) and a Wildfire Development Permit (2015-207-DP). The development of Phase 1 will include: construction of a sewer main connection between Foreman Drive at 136 Avenue and the Nelson Peak development to the east; dedication of Park on the balance of the site; and construction of a multi-purpose (horse) trail over the sewer right-of-way. Completion of the sewer connection to Nelson Peak will allow removal of a temporary pump station on that site. Phase 1 also includes the last portion of 136 Avenue needed to provide an east-west connection between 224 Street and 232 Street. d) Project Description: The applicant has submitted a proposal to rezone the developable area of the southwest corner of the site from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) and then to subdivide into lots not less than 371m² in area (Appendix D). The proposed subdivision plan is conceptual at this time as the developable area has not been determined. This will be the fourth and final phase of the development of the property, as shown on the overall subdivision plan attached as Appendix E. The proposed subdivision will be accessed by extension of a cul-de-sac to be constructed in Phases 1 and 2 of the development site. 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 assessmen t may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. e) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Silver Valley Area Plan and is currently designated Eco Cluster and Conservation. For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required to amend the Conservation boundaries to include the environmentally sensitive areas and steep slopes on the site, and to add the proposed multi-purpose trail. - 4 - Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone a portion of the property located at 22650 136 Avenue from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential District). The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 zone is 0.8 hectares (8000m²) and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 zone is 371m2. The proposed subdivision plan is conceptual at this time as the developable area has not been determined. It is anticipated that the zoning boundary and subdivision plan will be revised prior to second reading following a complete assessment of the site. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, 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. Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity identified in wildfire risk areas. The purpose of the Wildfire Development Permit is for the protection of life and property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire; and where this risk may be reasonably abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary measures. The subject property is located within the Wildfire Development Permit Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the Official Community Plan. Prior to second reading a Registered Professional Forester’s Report will be required to determine wildfire mitigation requirements. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application as only 11 lots are proposed. f) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sou ght from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; - 5 - d) Building Department; e) Parks Department; f) School District; and g) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. The Environmental Planning section has conducted a preliminary review of the property only at this time and has noted that a complete assessment of the area by qualified professionals is required, including the submission of: Environmental Assessment; Agricultural Impact Assessment; Wildfire Assessment, Tree Management Plan; Geotechnical Report; and Hydrogeological Report. The proposed subdivision plan is conceptual at this time as the developable area has not been determined. g) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 475 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 City’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 re quired by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 4. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 5. A Wildfire Development Permit Application (Schedule J); and 6. 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 to rezone to R-1 (Residential District) is in compliance with the Eco Cluster policies of the Silver Valley Area Plan of the OCP; however an OCP amendment is required to adjust the Conservation boundary and to add the horse trail. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. Pursuant to Council resolution, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program. - 6 - The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications.

A creek traverses the subject property, and watercourse dedication and an amendment to the Official Community plan to adjust the portions of the site that are designated for conservation will be required as part of this application. In addition, a 90 degree shift is proposed for the portion of the site that is designated Commercial, resulting in a need to amend the Official Community Plan to reflect this change in the designation boundaries. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. The subject property is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program. The rates for townhouse development have been established at $4100.00 per unit. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 475 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.Boards of Education, 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 City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No7276-2016 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules (A, C, D, and F) of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with a Subdivision application. 1105 - 2 - DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Streetside Developments Sarah Bingham Owner: Rafiki Estates Ltd. Legal Description: South 150 Feet Lot 1 Section 10 Township 12 NWD Plan 17613; Lot 1 Except: South 150 Feet Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 17613; Parcel “B” (Reference Plan 5589) Lot 9 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 809; OCP: Existing: MRES (Medium Density Residential), CONSRV (Conservation) Proposed: Medium Density Residential, Neighbourhood Commercial, Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Conservation South: Use: 2 properties, duplex and single family Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential and Conservation East: Use: 18 properties, neighbourhood commercial and street townhouse residential Zone: C-1 Neighbourhood Commercial and RST Street Townhouse Residential Designation: Commercial and Urban Residential West: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Institutional and Conservation. Existing Use of Property: 1 single family house on one of the 3 parcels Proposed Use of Property: Commercial and Townhouse residential Site Area: 4.5 HA. (11 acres) Access: 112th Avenue or 240th Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject property is within the Albion Area Plan and is located along a major arterial (240th Street). Environmentally sensitive areas on the site are to be dedicated as part of this development. - 3 - c) Project Description: This proposal is for a 130 Townhouse development with Neighbourhood Commercial at the Northeast corner of the site. The consolidated site will then be subdivided into the commercial and the residential components of this proposal. For the commercial development, a perpendicular shift from the original designation will result in greater commercial frontage along 240th Street, increasing its visibility along this busy corridor. Customer access is proposed from 240th Street. For the residential portion, one access is proposed from 112th Avenue. The proposal is generally consistent with the land use designation of the site. 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 development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Commercial, Medium Density Residential, and Conservation. For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required to adjust the designation boundaries, but the overall intent of the land use designations will remain intact.. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 11184, 11154, and 11080 240 Street from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) to permit Neighbourhood Commercial development and a 130 unit townhouse development. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is 8000 m2 where community water is available. The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is 557m2., and the minimum lot size for the proposed C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) zone is 668 m2 Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Due to the combination of commercial, residential, and protection of environmentally sensitive areas of this development proposal, three types of development permits will be required, as follows:  Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the OCP, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal’s compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community.  Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses.  Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top - 4 - 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. Advisory Design Panel: A Commercial and a Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to Second Reading. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after First Reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) Parks Department; 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 application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. However, concerns that may need further review are the proposed access from 240th Street for the commercial development and the extra traffic that would be generated on this corridor. In addition, there is only one proposed access from 112th Avenue to serve the residential portion of the site, and another access may be required, even if for emergency purposes only. We anticipate that further evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. f) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 475 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 City’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: - 5 - 1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D); 4. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 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 OCP, therefore, it is 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. “Original signed by Diana Hall” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Diana Hall, M.A.(Planning), MCIP, RPP Planner 2 “Original signed by Chuck Goddard” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

The requested variance is to: 1.Reduce the front yard requirement as stated in Land Use Contract L55826, Schedule B, Plot Plan and Specifications, from 29.44 ft (8.9m) to 9.6 ft (2.9m), to allow a new canopy to be constructed over the existing parking stalls. A parking covenant and access easement with the adjacent property located 20299 Lougheed Highway has been filed and registered on title on July 18, 2016, to comply with the Land Use Contract’s parking requirements for 12 off-street parking stalls. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2015-222-DVP be approved. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2015-222-DVP respecting property located at 11927 203 Street. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context Applicant: Alpha Neon Signs Owner: Alta View (MR) Holdings Ltd Legal Description: Lot 68, D.L. 222, Plan NWP48586 OCP : Existing: Commercial Zoning: Existing: LUC (Land Use Contracts) no. L55826 Surrounding Uses: North: Use: vacant lot Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Commercial 1106 - 2 - South: Use: Commercial (Service Station) Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial East: Use: Commercial (Shopping Center) Zone: C-2 (Community Commercial) Designation: Commercial West: Use: Commercial (Automotive Dealer Parking lot) Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Commercial (Autobody Repair Shop) Site Area: 1680 m2 Access: 203 Street b) Project Description: The subject property is located at 11927 203 Street (see Appendix A and B) and currently under Land Use Contract. The property owner is also the owner of the adjacent property to the west , at 20299 Lougheed Highway. The subject property is currently leased by Craftsman Collision, who intends to construct a canopy over their front entrance. By doing so, two of the 5 existing parking stalls on that portion of the site will no longer be valid parking stalls, due to the proposed cylinder concrete footings of the canopy. The awning will feature details consistent with branding and corporate imaging. Under the Land Use Contract, the frontage of the subject property is 203 Street. The proposed construction includes horizontal overhang (awning), as an extending front entrance of the building, supported by two posts. From a Licenses, Permits and Bylaw Department’s perspective, due to its design features, this application is considered to be for a structural add ition to the existing building, and the canopy would encroach on the required front yard setback. c) Variance Analysis: Land Use Contract: The Land Use Contract is numbered L55826 and filed at the Land Title Office on July 7, 1975 (See Appendix C). Schedule C of the Land Use Contract for the subject property stipulates a minimum number for Off-Street parking spaces. Though the service bays inside the building can be considered parking spaces, the minimum of 12 required parking stalls on site would not be met after construction of the canopy. The property owner has agreed to register a parking covenant and access easement, to grant access and parking to the leasee of the subject property, on a selected portion of the adjacent property 20299 Lougheed Highway, creating a minimum of 15 extra parking spaces, thereby complying with the off-street parking requirements in the Land Use Contract. This covenant has been filed under number CA5352430 at Land Title Office on July 18, 2016. - 3 - Schedule B of the Land Use Contract outlines the Plot Plan and Specifications: Site Area 18,107 sq.ft (1,682 m2) Yard front 29.44 ft (8.9m) Yard rear min 10.2 ft (3.1m) Yard side min 4.7 ft (1.4m) north Min 9.2 ft (2.8m) south Height of buildings or structures: max 22ft (6.7m) Rationale: The Province of British Columbia is requiring the termination of Land Use Contracts by June 2024. The building on the subject property is functional, and the request for the installation of an awning is minor in nature. As this application is for a variance to allow construction of a canopy to update this existing business’s premises, it seems excessive to require rezoning for such a minor upgrade. Future potential: If the site is to re-develop in the future, a rezoning application will be required, and road dedication will be required on 203 Street. The current road width standard for 203 Street is 26m, and 3m dedication on the subject property seems likely. Any application will also be forwarded to the Ministry of Transportation, due to its location at the intersection of Lougheed Highway/203 Street, and they may also require dedication. Requested Variance: The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for developments. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. The requested variances and rationale for support are described below: 1. Reduce the front yard requirement as stated in Land Use Contract L55826, Schedule B, Plot Plan and Specifications, from 29.44 ft (8.9m) to 9.6 ft (2.9m), to allow a new canopy to be constructed over the existing parking stalls at the front customer entrance. This request is supportable for the following reasons; - The request is for a modest addition to an existing building that is not at the end of its useful life. - The loss of on-site parking is addressed through securing additional parking spaces on the adjacent property through a Parking Covenant and Parking Easement, recently registered at Land Title Office. - The canopy will not affect the existing visual clearance on this corner lot. d) Citizen Implications: In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to the permit. - 4 - CONCLUSION: It is recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2015-222-DVP. “Original signed by Therese Melser” ______________________________________ Prepared by: Therese Melser Planning Technician “Original signed by Chuck Goddard” for _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by E.C.

Council’s policy direction in this area is based on the fundamental principle that the Municipality will not grant property tax exemptions to organizations providing services on a private or for profit basis, or where the service is the responsibility of senior governments. If exemptions were granted in these instances then tax payers would be funding programs that were not intended to be funded by property taxes. Over the past several years Council has maintained limited growth in Permissive Tax Exemptions recognizing that any increase in exemptions results in a shift of the tax revenue to be collected from the remaining taxable properties. Each year additional requests for financial assistance are received, either in the form of property tax exemptions or community grants and Council must consider all of those requests in balance with the overall Financial Plan. In late 2015, the Province amended the Community Charter to provide private schools offering a curriculum equivalent to that in a public school a statutory exemption for the instructional buildings and land deemed to be reasonably necessary in connection with the educational process. In light of this legislative change Council amended policy 5.21 in April 2016 to confirm that permissive tax exemptions would not be provided to private schools in Maple Ridge. Private schools that previously received a permissive exemption are no longer included in the attached bylaw. There was one application received for a 2017 Permissive Tax Exemption where the applicant had not previously received an exemption. The Hope for Freedom Society has applied for a permissive exemption for property at 25402 Hilland Avenue. The recommendation is to deny this application. In accordance with the Community Charter and Council policies 5.16 to 5.23, the properties listed in Bylaw No. 7271-2016 are recommended for property tax exemption for the 2017 taxation year.

DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: DISCUSSION: a)a)a)a) Background Context:Background Context:Background Context:Background Context: The Community Charter provides for a general exemption from taxation over which Council does not have any legislative powers or authority. This includes properties such as schools, public hospitals, buildings set apart for public worship and provincial and municipally owned 1132 Page 2 of 4 public buildings and land. B.C. Assessment determines which properties qualify for statutory exemption according to the Community Charter. The statutory exemption received by Churches only provides for the church building and the land on which it stands, leaving any remaining land and improvements as taxable. Council policy 5.20 confirms that churches will also receive a permissive tax exemption for an additional church hall and the entire parcel of land, to a maximum of 2.0335 hectares (5 acres). Buildings other than the church and church hall are subject to taxation. The statutory exemption offered to churches is not available for those churches that lease, rather than own, property. In these circumstances, Council policy 5.20 confirms that a permissive tax exemption will be provided. In late 2015, the Province amended the Community Charter to provide private schools offering a curriculum equivalent to that in a public school a statutory exemption for the instructional buildings and land deemed to be reasonably necessary in connection with the educational process. In light of the legislative change Council amended policy 5.21 in April 2016 to confirm that permissive tax exemptions would not be provided to private schools in Maple Ridge. Private schools that previously received a permissive exemption are no longer included in the attached bylaw. The Community Charter also provides Council with statutory powers to exempt other certain properties from municipal taxation. For example, these can be land and improvements that are used by not for profit organizations that are deemed to contribute to the well being of the community or private institutions licensed under other legislation such as the Hospital Act, Community Care Facility Act or parts of the School Act. Permissive exemptions can also be granted by Council for heritage properties and portions of a property used for municipal purposes (e.g. parts of Planet Ice, the curling rink and the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society). Council’s policy direction is intended to prevent the downloading/off loading of services that are the responsibility of senior governments and to ensure local residents are not subsidizing residents from other municipalities. They also establish that where a permissive tax exemption is granted all residents of Maple Ridge have access to the service provided and make certain that the property tax exemption does not provide for an unfair competitive advantage. The services provided by the organization are to be an extension of Municipal services and programs and fall under the responsibility of local government. A Tax Exemption Bylaw adopted by Council specifically applies to the Municipal tax levies on the Property Tax Notice. However at this time, the School Act and the Hospital District Act also provide for exemptions from other taxing authorities for properties included in the bylaw. The Community Charter requires the contents of the proposed taxation exemption bylaw be publicly posted and included in a newspaper prior to its adoption. The notice will include a description of each property and the estimated tax exemption for 2017 plus the following two years. Churches that receive a statutory exemption are not included in the notice. The City’s Annual Report also includes information on all permissive exemptions granted. b)b)b)b) Desired Outcome: Desired Outcome: Desired Outcome: Desired Outcome: Council must adopt the Tax Exemption Bylaw on or before October 31, 2016 to exempt properties from municipal property taxation for 2017. Page 3 of 4 c)c)c)c) Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment:Strategic Alignment: The sources of municipal revenue are limited and therefore, the City supports institutions, organizations and the community at large to enhance the quality of life to its residents. The granting of property tax exemptions to those applicants meeting the criteria of the policies are strategically aligned with: (i) Financial Management – cost effective and efficient delivery of services (ii) Community Relations – recognize and support the important contribution of volunteers and not for profit groups that provide services in Maple Ridge (iii) Safe & Livable Community – in partnership with community groups, assist in the provision of leisure and cultural services to ensure access by all citizens d)d)d)d) Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications:Citizen/Customer Implications: Permissive exemptions are designed to support those services that complement City programs. Inadequate funding from senior governments sometimes results in agencies turning to local government for assistance. The sources of municipal funding are limited and providing exemptions to those groups that fall under the responsibility of senior governments is not feasible. e)e)e)e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:Business Plan/Financial Implications:Business Plan/Financial Implications:Business Plan/Financial Implications: An application was received from the Freedom for Hope Society. The society is a registered charity that offers addiction recovery services to men through an abstinent based, supportive housing program. We recommend denial of this application as the provision of addiction recovery programs is not the responsibility of local government. Additionally, there are other organizations in the community that provide addiction recovery services and allowing this exemption could invite other applications resulting in a further increase in the tax burden against the remaining taxable properties. Based on 2016 assessed values, and using the estimated tax increase for 2017 from the financial plan, the estimated amount attributable to all of the 2017 proposed tax exemptions for the municipal portion of taxes is $807,500. . . . The tax revenue estimate for 2017 in the financial plan is $81,556,000, putting the proposed exemptions at less than 1% of that total. f)f)f)f) Policy Implications: Policy Implications: Policy Implications: Policy Implications: The applicants recommended for exemption are in accordance with the adopted policies. Council does have the discretion to make exceptions to existing policies on a case by case basis but doing so may create expectations for other community groups in the future. g)g)g)g) Alternatives:Alternatives:Alternatives:Alternatives: Granting tax exemptions leads to a tax shift to other taxpayers, most notably in the Residential Class. An option for Council is to provide a financial grant to assist those organizations providing community services that Council wishes to support. Grants are an annual budget decision and are limited to one year. Council has used this option from time to time. Providing grants does not relieve senior levels of government from their responsibility to the community. Therefore, the potential for downloading costs to the City is somewhat reduced. Page 4 of 4 CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS:CONCLUSIONS: In reviewing the requests for permissive exemptions, Council should consider that any increase in exemptions results in a shift of the tax revenue to be collected from the remaining taxable properties. Requests for financial assistance, whether in the form of a permissive tax exemption or community grant, must be considered in balance with the overall Financial Plan. Each permissive tax exemption application should be evaluated under the following criteria: 1. The use is consistent with City policies, plans, bylaws, codes and regulations. This will ensure the goals, policies, and general operating principles of the City as a whole are reflected in the organizations that receive support. 2. Exemptions are not given to services that are otherwise provided on a private, for profit basis. This would provide an unfair competitive advantage. 3. The services provided by the organization should be an extension of City services and programs and must fall under the responsibility of local government. Senior government program costs must not be transferred to property taxpayers, as this would represent double taxation and an inequitable tax burden. 4. Primarily Maple Ridge residents should use the services and the organization’s regulations must allow all Maple Ridge residents to participate. 5. The taxation burden resulting from the exemption must be a justifiable expense to the taxpayers of the City. The sources of Municipal revenue are limited and request for exemption must be considered in concert with other needs of the Municipality. Additional details on the applications are available from the Finance Department. “Original signed by Catherine Nolan” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Catherine Nolan, CPA, CGA “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA GM, Corporate & Financial Services “Original signed by E.

Adoption of such a policy assists in limiting the City’s liability for and exposure to insurance claims made against it and has served as a legal defence against litigation. Under the Occupiers Liability Act, an occupier or owner of property is expected to take reasonable actions to ensure that other members of the public are kept safe when on the property. The Occupiers Liability Act places these statutory duties upon the owners and occupiers of land and also applies these duties to Local Governments. That said, the Courts have recognized that Local Governments have limited resources to provide a whole host of services to their community and, in determining the level of those services, elected officials must balance social, political & economic factors. For example, while some jurisdictions may have the resources to inspect certain instractures, (i.e. sidewalks) on a monthly basis, other jusridictions may only be able to undertake similar inpections on a twice-yearly basis. By adopting this resolution, Council would set a policy that establishes the various standards for the inspections of municipal works that the City can meet given its available resources. If adopted and in the future, the expection should be that this policy will be reviewed by staff and MIABC and if there are any substantive changes to the policy, these will be submitted to Council for consideration on an annual basis . RECOMMENDATION(S): That the Infrastructure Inspection Policy attached to the staff report dated August 29, 2016 be adopted. 1133 CONCLUSION: Adoption of a comprehenisive infrastructure inspection policy will assist in limiting the City’s liability for and exposure to insurance claims made against it and will serve as a legal defence against litigation, there the recommendation is for adoption. MIABC has reviewed and endorsed the attached policy in its entirety. “Original signed by Darrell Denton” Prepared by: Darrell Denton, Property & Risk Manager “Original signed by James Storey” Approved by: James Storey, Director of Engineering Operations “Original signed by David Boag” Approved by: David Boag, Director, Parks and Facilities “Original signed by Frank Quinn” Approved by: Frank Quinn, General Manager Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by E.C.
