Council on items that are of concern to them, with the exception of Public Hearing
bylaws 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

If a question cannot be answered, the speaker will be advised when and how a
response will be given.

and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-209-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT:
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7264-2016
20421 123 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 20421 123 Avenue from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to
permit a future 2 lot subdivision. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7264-
2016 on September 6, 2016. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) Zone is 668 m2 and for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential Zone
is 557 m2.
This application is in compliance with the OCP.
As this proposal is to create fewer than 3 lots, this application is exempt from the Community
Amenity Contribution Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7264-2016 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
2)That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management.
ii)Removal of existing building;
iii)If the Director of Waste Management from the Ministry of Environment determines that a
site investigation is required based on the submitted Site Profile, a rezoning, development,
or development variance permit cannot be approved until a release is obtained for the
subject property;
iv)In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional
Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks on the
subject property(ies). If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that
the subject property is not a contaminated site.

The subject property is approximately 0.236 ha. (0.58 acres) in size and is bound by single family
residential properties to the north, east, and west, and 123 Avenue to the south.
- 3 -
3) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to permit future subdivision
into two single family residential lots. At approximately 1200 m2 each, the proposed lots will be
significantly larger than minimum parcel size in the current and the proposed RS-1b (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone.
4) 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.
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 minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668 m2, and
557m2 for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Zone. At
approximately 1200 m² each, the proposed lots will significantly exceed minimum parcel size in both
the current and proposed zoning. Rezoning is required to facilitate subdivision, however, as the
minimum lot width of the proposed new lots is insufficient to meet lot geometry requirements in the
current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone. No bylaw amendments have occurred since first
reading that would affect this application.
Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw specifies that a single family structure requires the
provision of a minimum of 2.0 off street parking stalls. The proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) Zone also permits additional residential uses in the form of a
temporary residential use, secondary suite, or detached garden suite (building details have not been
provided at this time). There is an additional bylaw requirement of 1 stall per secondary suite or
detached garden suite. As these proposed lots are signficantly larger than required, all parking
requirements should be easily accommodated on the site.
5) Environmental Implications:
The applicant has provided a tree management report that inventories the existing trees on the site,
assesses potential for retention, and makes recommendations for replacement. This matter will be
dealt with at the subdivision stage through the tree cutting permit.
- 4 -
6) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has established that existing
services, including existing curb and gutter, and sidewalks are sufficient to meet current
standards. Connections to municipal services will be a requirement at the subdivision
stage.
ii) License, Permits and Bylaws Department: The Building Department reviewed the
application and noted that a geotechnical review would be required at the building permit
stage, that a covenant would be required to register the stormwater management plant,
and a tree protection covenant would be required (subdivision stage)
iii) Fire Department: The Fire Department had no concerns with this application, but had
instructions for demolition and the security of existing buildings from unauthorized entry.
These have been forwarded to the applicant.
7) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Once second reading is granted for this application, it will be scheduled for public hearing, providing
the opportunity for public comment.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7264-2016, and that
2016-209-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
24152 112 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2012-013-DVP has been received in conjunction with a
rezoning and subdivision application to permit the future development of 25 single family lots for the
subject property located at 24152 112 Avenue. The requested variance is to:
1.Reduce the required width of the constructed road on 242 Street from an urban collector
width of 11.6 m (38.1 ft.) to an urban local width of 8.6 m (28.2 ft.) across the frontage of
the park.
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2012-013-RZ on March 28, 2017.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2012-013-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2012-013-DVP respecting property located
at 24152 112 Avenue.

Accompanying applications: 2012-013-RZ/SD/WPDP
b) Project Description:
The subject property is approximately 4.46 ha (11 acres) in size and is bounded by 112 Avenue and
single family residential to the north; and single family residential to the east, south, and west (see
Appendices A and B). The subject property has a watercourse and steep slopes located along the
western portion of the site, which will be dedicated as park for Conservation. An Official Community
Plan (OCP) amendment is required to amend the Institutional designation over the remaining portion
of the subject property to Park in the northern central portion of the property, and Low/Medium
Density Residential over the remaining eastern half of the property. Access will be provided from
112 Avenue and a new road, extending from 112 Avenue southward to the so uthern property line,
with the potential to serve lands to the south.
The applicant intends to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-
1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) and P-1 (Park and School) to allow for future
subdivision into approximately 25 lots and a neighbourhood park. The applicant intends to choose
the Density Bonus option within the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone,
which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-family lot sizes of a minimum of 371 m². The
required amenity fee of $3,100.00 for each lot less than 557 m² will be collected by the Approving
Officer at the subdivision approval stage.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum
regulations for subdivision and development of land. A Development Variance Permit allows Council
some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variance and rationale for support are described below (see Appendices B and C):
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Part IV General Requirements,
Section B. Highways 3. Where lands are being improved for Commercial, Industrial,
Institutional or Multi-Residential use, the Street or Streets fronting the development site
must be designed and constructed to collector street standards as set out in Schedule D
“Design Criteria Manual”, Schedule E “Supplementary Specifications and Schedule F
- 3 -
“Supplementary Standard Detail Drawings”: To reduce the required width of the constructed
road on 242 Street from an urban collector width of 11.6 m to an urban local width of 8.6 m
across the frontage of the park.
A collector road width would normally be required adjacent to the park; however the developer is
proposing to construct a bioswale in the boulevard for stormwater management, which will reduce
the space available to build the full collector road. The required services ca n fit within the width
provided, therefore, the Engineering Department can support the reduction in constructed road
width. The Fire Department also does not have any concerns with the reduction in constructed road
width.
d) Citizen/Customer 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.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances are supported for the reasons discussed above, it is therefore
recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be
authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2012-013-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
12260 250 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2017-050-DVP has been received in conjunction with a
building permit application for a single family house in the RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone.
The subject property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, and for this reason, is associated with
rural street standards. However, its RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Zoning typically requires
full urban services, which would not be consistent with this rural context. The requested variances,
pertaining to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw, are, as follows:
1.Vary the requirement to construct 250th Street to the north edge of the property line.
2.Vary the requirement for full urban upgrades to the street due to the site’s rural context.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2017-050-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2017-050-DVP respecting property located
at 12260 250 Street.

Proposed Use of Property: Rural Residential
Site Area: 3.65 (9.0 acres)
Access: 250th Street
Servicing: on-site septic, water connection available
b) Project Description:
The applicant seeks to build a single family house in accordance with current zoning. The site is
within the Agricultural Land Reserve, but retains its historic RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
zoning. Due to this discrepancy between its urban zoning and its Agricultural designation, the
property has requirements for urban street standards, with upgrades triggered by a building
permit, that are inconsistent with its rural context. For this reason, this variance request includes
a relaxation of these urban standards in support of a consistent rural streetscape.
The existing road frontage along this portion of 250th Street has not been constructed to the full
extent of the property and stops some distance south of the north property line (as evident in the
ortho photo, attached as Appendix B). Generally, it would be a requirement of development
servicing to require that road construction be completed to the full extent of the property, with the
rationale that the completed road would facilitate subsequent development activity on adjacent
parcels.
These urban upgrade requirements and the cost of road construction to provide a single family
dwelling are significant. In a denser urban setting, these costs are shared by several property
owners for the same length of road that would serve only a few rural property owners. This
difference in infrastructure costs and servicing requirements would amount to a hardship for the
property owner to provide. The existing rural streetscape has been considered by the Engineering
Department to be adequate. In light of the lack of development potential in the area, there is little
benefit to be gained by constructing this road. On this basis, this application is considered
supportable.
- 3 -
c) Variance Analysis:
A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variance and rationale for support are described below:
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Section IV General
Requirements, Part B, 2. To vary the following requirement:
Any dedicated but undeveloped highway within or immediately adjacent to a proposed
subdivision or development shall be improved by the applicant in accordance with Schedule "A"
attached hereto.
2. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A, Services and
Utilities. To vary provision of the following requirements in the RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) Zone:
Street Trees
Water
Sanitary Sewer
Curb and Gutter
Underground Wiring
Sidewalks
The 2 parts to this variance request are justified below.
Varying the Requirement for Road Construction.
The subject property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve and adjacent to ALR properties to its
north. Each of the properties to its north have sufficient road frontage to rural standa rds (along
248th Street or 124th Avenue).
As these properties are currently served by access and not supported for subdivision, there is little
reason to construct a road that would be redundant for access purposes, and could exacerbate
development pressures and land speculation in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
For these reasons, varying the need for additional road construction to a rural standard to the
northern extent of the property is supportable.
Varying Servicing Standards in the RS-1 Zone.
The required servicing standards in the urban RS-1 Zone exceed those in a rural zone. The table
below describes these significant differences. As the subject property is rural in nature, varying
these urban standards is supportable.
Required Service RS- 1 Zone (Urban) Required? RS-3 Zone (Rural) Required?
Street Tree yes no
Curb and gutter yes no
Sidewalk yes no
Street Lighting yes Yes, but lesser standard
Sewer and Water yes No for parcels greater than 2 ha
Underground Wiring yes no
- 4 -
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
By granting this variance, the intent of the Subdivision and Servicing Bylaw will be met, in that the
road standard will remain rural in nature, which is appropriate for its current use and its long term
land use designation as agricultural.
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.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance is supported because the resulting development will be consistent with rural
development, and there is little community benefit to requiring road construction along this portion
of 250th Street.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2017-050-DVP.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Municipal Equipment Purchase, Two Tandem Axle Dump Trucks With Underbody
Plow and Sander – Revised Report
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The approved 2016 Financial Plan included funding for the replacement of a tandem axle dump
truck. A public request for proposals to supply the truck resulted in eleven (11) proposals being
received. Following a detailed evaluation of the proposals, Harbour International Trucks Ltd. was
determined to be the successful proponent with best value. The approved 2017 Financial Plan
includes funding for the replacement of a second identically equipped tandem axle dump truck.
With the recent closure of the 2016 RFP it is recommended to award a contract to Harbor
International for the supply of two tandem axle dump trucks.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the contract for the purchase of two tandem axle dump trucks be awarded to Harbour
International Trucks Ltd. in the amount of $514,380.00 plus applicable taxes of approximately
$61,725.60 and furthermore, that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
A Request for Proposals (RFP-OP16-63) for the supply of one tandem axle dump truck was
publicly advertised on November 17, 2016 and closed December 7, 2016. Eleven (11)
proposals were received and evaluated. The results of the evaluations recommend award of
a Del Equipment dump truck body with a 2018 International Workstar 7600 Set Back 6x4
Tandem Axle Cab and Chassis to Harbour International Trucks Ltd.
A second tandem axle with identical specifications is due for replacement in 2017 and has
been approved in the 2017 financial plan. With the recent closure of the 2016 RFP, Harbour
International has agreed to hold their pricing as well as provide a discount of $3,528 per unit
if two units are purchased.
1104
b) Financial Implications:
The cost of the trucks are within the approved budgets under project LTC#8218, all funded
from the equipment replacement reserve. Total purchase price for one unit with discount is
$257,190.00 plus applicable taxes of approximately $30,862.80. The second truck is
available at the same price for a total price for two trucks of $514,380.00 plus applicable
taxes.
CONCLUSION: Following a public request for proposals, and analysis of the received submissions, it
is recommended that a contract to supply two tandem axle dump trucks be awarded to Harbour
International Trucks Ltd. and furthermore, that the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the
contract.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: March 20, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Committee of the Whole
SUBJECT: Partnering Agreement
-Employment Land Investment Incentive Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In the fall of 2014, Municipal Council approved the framework for the Employment Land Investment
Incentive Program. The Employment Land Investment Incentive Program is intended to accelerate
private investment and to attract new businesses and high value jobs to Maple Ridge. Council
approved the use of partnering agreements as one of the tools to support the incentive program.
Three projects are now at the stage where partnering agreements are required in order for the City to
provide incentive payments. In accordance with Council direction, agreements are presented for
consideration at a public meeting, and although legally subject to Council approval, the project
meets pre-established eligibility requirements.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute Partnering Agreements with:
1.874668 BC Ltd. under building permit number 16-112807 in the amount of $8,979.67; and
2.874668 BC Ltd. under building permit number 16-112814 in the amount of $5,784.22; and
3.874668 BC Ltd. under building permit number 16-116919 in the amount of $7,639.02
BACKGROUND:
The four year Employment Land Investment Incentive Program was approved in 2014 and launched
in 2015 to help implement the Commercial and Industrial Strategy.
Three development projects meet the program eligibility requirements and have had their building
permits issued. This is the trigger for the incentive program to begin, and the partnering agreement
incentives are now due. In order to proceed, the City requires the owners to enter into partnering
agreements to ensure the obligations of both parties are clearly understood. The projects are
described as follows:
1171
One-storey industrial building located at 12865 Katonien Street, Maple Ridge, BC, owned by
574668 BC Ltd., receiving $8,979.67 under the Employment Land Investment Incentive
Program, and representing $1.2 million in construction value under permit number
16-112807;
One-storey industrial building located at 12895 Katonien Street, Maple Ridge, BC, owned by
574668 BC Ltd., receiving $5,784.22 under the Employment Land Investment Incentive
Program, and representing $700,000 in construction value under permit number
16-112814; and
One-storey industrial building located at 12920 261A Street , Maple Ridge, BC, owned by
574668 BC Ltd., receiving $7,639.02 under the Employment Land Investment Incentive
Program, and representing $900,000 in construction value under permit number
16-116919.
Public notice was issued in accordance with Sections 24, 21 and 94 of the Community Charter.
BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL PLAN IMPLICATIONS:
Council previously set aside approximately $3 million to fund the incentive programs. After covering
off partnering agreements and tax exemptions to date, there is about $1.3 million remaining. The
partnering agreements referred to in this report will require that the reserve will be drawn down by
$22,402.91.
Through the incentive program, these projects have also benefitted from building permit discounts of
$22,978.83.
The incentive program also provides incentives in the form of property tax exemptions. Amounts will
be driven by future BC Assessment valuations and are therefore difficult to predict. An estimate of
the incentives, based on construction value and using 2016 property tax rates, would result in
approximately $98,000 spread over five years. Revitalization Tax Exemption Agreements will be
necessary to initiate this portion of the incentive program once the projects are nearing completion.
CITIZEN IMPLICATIONS:
The City’s approach to the incentive programs is one of full transparency. There have been numerous
Council reports, presentations and newspaper notices over four years of incentive program
implementation. The Employment Land Investment Incentive Program is intended to attract new
commercial and industrial businesses and high value jobs to Maple Ridge. Incentive program goals
and objectives have consistently ranked as highly desirable in citizen surveys.
CONCLUSION:
This report requests Council authorization to execute partnering agreements that will allow the City
to provide financial incentives for the building permits noted in this report. The projects meet pre-
established eligibility criteria adopted by Council. The incentives total $22,402.91, and support the
$2.8 million in construction value represented by the projects. Partnering agreement incentives are
one component of a comprehensive incentive program that supports the Commercial and Industrial
Strategy.

Appendix A
Schedule A: Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Reasons,
Objectives and Principles
A Revitalization Tax Exemption is established under this Bylaw to:
a. Improve the ratio of jobs to housing;
b. Expand employment opportunities for citizens;
c. Attract investment to create a strong local economy;
d. Diversify the tax base;
e. Improve the industrial to residential property tax ratio;
f. Encourage the use of environmentally sustainable building construction methods and
materials; and,
g. Encourage energy efficiency and alternative technologies.
Generally accepted principles that have been incorporated into the Employment Land Investment
Incentive Program:
i. Bricks and mortar (property value) contributes to the City’s revenue stream;
ii. Industrial land should be retained for industrial uses;
iii. Focus on attracting high value jobs and high job densities;
iv. Focus on businesses not driven by population growth - “retail follows rooftops”;
v. Time limited programs provide momentum;
vi. Incentives shouldn’t draw businesses away from the Town Centre;
vii. The Town Centre commercial sector needs continued support; and,
viii. A multi-pronged approach is needed; incentives alone are not the answer.
Appendix A
Schedule B: Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Areas
Appendix A
Schedule C: Ineligible Uses
These uses would typically have either lower job densities or lower value jobs, and therefore would
not meet the objectives of the program:
Dance schools, fitness centres and gymnastics schools
Auction marts
Mini-warehouses
Parking of unoccupied commercial and recreational vehicles
Indoor commercial recreational uses
Restaurants
Childcare centres
Retail warehouse operations (“big box”)
Operations relating to medical marihuana

Appendix B
Schedule A: Employment Land Investment Incentive Program Reasons,
Objectives and Principles

x. Industrial land should be retained for industrial uses;

xiii. Time limited programs provide momentum;
xiv. Incentives shouldn’t draw businesses away from the Town Centre;
xv. The Town Centre commercial sector needs continued support; and,
xvi. A multi-pronged approach is needed; incentives alone are not the answer.
