II APPLICATION PROCEDURE
A. GENERAL
1. All subdivision applications shall be accompanied by proof of ownership in a form acceptable to
the Approving Officer.
2. At the time of application or after a field inspection, the Approving Officer may require, at the
owners expense:
(a) Topographic mapping of the parcels to be included in the proposed subdivision, with
contours at one (l) metre intervals. Such topographic mapping shall accurately delineate
all watercourses.
(b) A tree survey plan showing the location of all trees by size and species with a 20cm. or
larger diameter trunk measured 1.3m. from the ground. In the case of multi-stemmed
trees, the diameter of each individual stem shall be measured, and aggregated. Where
a stand of trees is so dense as to render individual tree enumeration difficult, the tree
survey may show clusters of trees. Trees that are scheduled to be retained shall be
marked with a numbered metal tag, placed 1.3m. above the ground, and this tag
number shall be clearly shown on the survey plans;
(c) The flagging of all corner pins within the proposed subdivision to assist Municipal staff
in performing field inspections;
(d) Mapping of the boundaries of development permit boundaries affecting the subject
property and any applicable surrounding properties;
(e) An environmental impact statement prepared by qualified consultants addressing the
boundaries of development as they relate to development permit boundaries and
clearly indicating any proposed adjustments to those boundaries with statements
regarding the reasons and justification for such adjustments;
(f) Evidence from a qualified Geotechnical Engineer that geotechnical conditions will
support development consistent with the proposed subdivision;
(g) A plan showing provision for access to parcels lying beyond and/or adjacent to the
parcel(s) to be included in the proposed subdivision; and/or
(h) A preliminary plan demonstrating the future subdivision geometry of adjacent lands.
B. APPLICATION FOR PRELIMINARY APPROVAL
1. Applications for preliminary approval are not mandatory. Applicants may find it convenient and
less costly to make a preliminary application. A preliminary application and a preliminary letter
of approval are not a statutory application or subdivision plan approval pursuant to the Land
Title Act.
2 . For each parcel, the boundaries of which will be affected by the proposed subdivision, the
following information shall be submitted:
(a) A preliminary approval fee in the amount prescribed by Maple Ridge Applications Fee
By-law No. 4876 - 1993.
(b) A reproducible subdivision plan which is fully dimensioned and drawn at an appropriate
scale (1:200 or 1:500) and which would create parcels in conformity with all applicable
- 4 -
requirements of this by-law and Maple Ridge Zoning By-law No 3510 - 1985 as
amended, and showing:
(i) The exterior boundaries of the proposed subdivision boldly outlined;
(ii) Complete legal description for each parcel to be included in the proposed
subdivision;
(iii) All parcels surrounding the parcel(s) to be included in the proposed subdivision,
with sizes and legal descriptions clearly indicated;
(iv) North point;
(v) All bodies of water and/or watercourses;
7093-2014
(vi) Accurate location of all existing buildings, structures and services within the
proposed subdivision.

6479-2007 deleted (xiv)
3. Upon receipt and review by the Approving Officer of all requirements pursuant to Sections II A 2
and II B 2 hereof, the Approving Officer may communicate in writing with the applicant and may
provide his comments with respect to the application. Such comments may include conditions
and requirements which must be met before final subdivision approval can be given.
Alternatively, the Approving Officer may advise the applicant, in writing, that:
(a) Further information must be submitted to permit a full review of the application; or
(b) The application is rejected.
4. A letter of preliminary approval delivered by the Approving Officer pursuant to a preliminary
application is only effective for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days. The Approving
Officer upon written application received prior to the expiry of a preliminary approval may
extend the preliminary approval once for a period not exceeding 180 days. If the provisions and
requirements relating to the tendering of a plan for approval pursuant to the Land Title Act are
not satisfied prior to the expiry of any preliminary approval, the preliminary approval and the
application giving rise to it shall be void and any person wishing to subdivide the same lands
shall be required to submit a new application for subdivision and pay the fees required
therefore.
5. A letter of preliminary approval for any proposed subdivision shall not be construed as final
approval of the subdivision and is revocable by the Approving Officer at any time prior to the
final approval of the subdivision in the event that new information which would adversely affect
the proposed subdivision becomes available or any enactment which would render the
proposed subdivision unlawful comes into effect, subsequent to the delivery of the letter of
preliminary approval and prior to the final approval of the subdivision.

III BASIC PROVISIONS
1. No land shall be subdivided within the City of Maple Ridge unless and until the subdivision has

2. The Approving Officer shall refuse to approve the subdivision of any parcel of land unless all
relevant requirements of this by-law, applicable provincial agency statutes, regulations and

has been submitted can be anticipated, the Approving Officer may require a plan of such further
subdivision or development.
5. In considering a subdivision application, the Approving Officer may hear objections from any
interested persons and shall refuse to approve the subdivision if, in his opinion,
(a) the anticipated development of the subdivision would injuriously affect the established
amenities, including existing trees, and adjoining or adjacent properties,
(b) the cost to the Municipality of providing public utilities or other municipal works or
services would be excessive, or
(c) the subdivision would otherwise be against the public interest.
- 6 -
6. Where land is intended to be divided into two or more strata lots by the registration of a Bare
Land Strata Plan, the provisions of this by-law shall apply to the development as defined in the
Strata Properties Act and not to the individual strata lots.
7. Notwithstanding anything contained in this by-law, where the sole purpose of a subdivision plan
is to facilitate the registration of a lease having a term of 3 years or longer over a portion of a
parcel where the lease would not entitle the lessee under any circumstances to demand or
exercise the right to acquire the fee simple title to the portion so leased, any provision in this by-
law regarding servicing standards shall not apply to the subdivision.
IV GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

public interest to do so, the Approving Officer may approve a subdivision creating a double-
fronting parcel.
3. No parcel shall be created having jogs in lot lines in order to accommodate minimum
requirements for width and depth of a parcel unless, in the opinion of the Approving Officer,
physical constraints make such jogs necessary.

determined by the width of the cross section of the road plus 3m from the top of the
cutbank or the toe of slope.
Where a highway right-of-way width is less than the required minimum provided for in this
Schedule, the Approving Officer may approve the subdivision where he is satisfied that:
(a) all required services can be provided within a smaller right-of-way; and
(b) the required right-of-way width may be satisfied in the future by obtaining the
dedication of necessary lands from other lands abutting the right-of-way upon later
subdivision; or
(c) the lands to be subdivided already abut on an open and traveled highway the width
and capacity of which, although not meeting the standard herein, need not be
increased to service either the subdivision to be approved or foreseeable potential
subdivision of other lands also abutting the said highway.
