Council directed staff to prepare a comprehensive list of issues and options pertaining to this topic and report back. That work is currently underway, however one of the issues identified in the report namely, the practice of limiting through design the potential for illegal secondary suites on small lots, has some currency. As such this report is seeking Council direction on this issue. In 1999 the Zoning Bylaw was amended to permit secondary suites in a limited number of large format (557 sq. m and greater) single family zones. At that time as part of this discussion staff was directed to discourage the creation of illegal secondary suites on smaller lots through use of design elements. This was done to deal with the rising tensions among neighbours over issues such as: lack of street parking; emergency access concerns; appropriate building design and general complaints relating to illegal secondary suites. This was implemented by the use of a Development Permit for intensive residential lots (R-3) and discouraging R-1 zoned house designs that have independent external doors to the basements, no second basement kitchens, limited basement bar sinks and counter sizes and good internal connectivity with the other areas of the house. While these measures do not prevent the illegal installation of a secondary suite in zones where the use is not permitted, they do make it harder to do so and reduces the need for enforcement against illegal secondary suites. This practice has been in place since 1999. This design review process has given rise to a measure of resistance among some developers and builders. They point to the fact that the restrictions are not codified in the Zoning Bylaw and thus are practice driven. Although used for many years and accepted by developers in the past, currently some developers are questioning the design limitations, especially the non-allowance of an external tumbler lock side door to the basement. Sliding doors are accepted. The contention is that the District should not pre-judge what a future home owner may or may not do to his/her basement. Conversley the District has the right and responsibility to regulate land uses and structures that are built and inevitably is drawn into public debate and conflicts between neighbours on issues related to parking and illegal uses. Should Council wish these design elements to continue to be implemented then an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw will be made. This report also provides an alternative for Council’s consideration which would see the practice discontinued and no amendment to the Zoning bylaw on th is issue being advanced. 801 2 RECOMMENDATION: That staff be directed to amend the Zoning Bylaw for small lots (R-1, CD-1-93, R-2 and R-3) to codify the current practice with regard to external basement doors. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: On April 16th, 2012, Staff prepared for Council a report entitled: “Secondary Suites and Temporary Residential Uses”. Council instructed staff to prepare a comprehensive list of issues and options pertaining to this topic and report back. One of the issues identified in the report was the practice of Planning Department staff reviewing Building Permits on small lots to limit the potential for illegal secondary suites. In 1999 Council took the important step of amending the Zoning Bylaw to permit secondary suites in a limited number of large format (557 sq. m and greater) single family zones. This was done to increase affordable housing options in the District, as well as, to deal with the rising tensions among neighbours over issues such as: lack of street parking; emergency access concerns; appropriate building design and general complaints relating to illegal secondary suites. As part of this solution staff was directed to review building permits on smaller lots to discourage the creation of illegal secondary suites. This was done by the use of a Development Permit for intensive residential lots (R- 3) and discouraging R-1 zoned house designs that have independent external doors to the basements, no second basement kitchens, limited basement bar sinks and counter sizes and good internal connectivity with the other areas of the house. While these measures do not prevent the illegal installation of a secondary suite in zones where the use is not permitted, they do make it harder to do so and makes enforcement against illegal secondary suites easier. This design review process has recently given rise to a measure of resistance from some developers and builders. They point to the fact that the restrictions are not codified in the Zoning Bylaw and thus are practice driven. Although used for many years and accepted by developers in the past, the practice has recently been questioned, especially the non allowance of an external side door to the basement. Some developers believe the District should not pre-judge what a future home owner may or may not do to his/her basement. The reverse argument is the District has the right and responsibility to regulate land uses and structures that are built and inevitably is drawn into public debate and conflicts between neighbours on issues related to parking and illegal uses. b) Existing Bylaw Provisions and Practice: In 1999 the Zoning Bylaw was amended to contain provisions to regulate the use of secondary suites. However, with the exception of permitting only one set of cooking facilities per dwelling unit, the Zoning Bylaw has no limitations on the design of single family residential buildings. The case is different for R-3 zoned lots because they are considered intensive residential development and like townhomes and apartments, are subject the Section 920 of the Local Government Act and must therefore obtain a Development Permit (DP). The DP controls the form and external design and character of the resulting homes. The R-3 lot DP’s often do not show basements at all and if they do, the practice for the past decade has been to not allow external side doors into them. Based on discussions with Council when the secondary suite provisions were adopted, it was clear efforts needed to continuing to prohibit the spread of secondary suites in small lots where they were not deemed appropriate by Council. As such, staff continued to review building permits for the R-1, 3 CD-1-93, R-3 and now the R-2 zones with the intent of discouraging conversions of basements into illegal secondary suites. Central to this effort has been the rejection of plans showing external side doors fitted with tumble lock and key systems. Staff has suggested there replacement with sliding doors into the rear yards which are less convenient for secondary suite use. Some developers and builders have opted for this solution or simply placed the side door into the garage rather than the basement. Acceptance of a small basement bar sink and counter top area have also been implemented over the years to allow the basement to be more functional. c) Issues: For over a decade the Planning Department staff has been reviewing Building Permits on smaller lots with the intent of limiting the potential of illegal secondary suites. Many projects have been built with either no external side doors or unfinished basements with strong interconnection to the main living areas of the home. While undoubtedly some illegal secondary suites continue to grow in small lot areas, their growth has been made more difficult without permitting basement side doors. There has been some concern expressed by some developers and builders to this review but most understand the Zoning Bylaw prohibition and the problems that have arisen in areas containing unregulated suites. They contend that the basement side door is an issue of convenience to the buyer and that the District can still enforce against the owner who installs an illegal secondary suite through the normal enforcement avenues. d) Alternatives: While understandably illegal suites have been built in small lot developments, the use of the practice of not permitting external side doors has had a measure of success in reducing the amount of enforcement required. However, an alternative is to discontinue this practice. Under this alternative there would be a greater reliance on the homeowner not to avail of easier access to install a suite. This may be an acceptable risk in order to accommodate owners who simply prefer a tumbler lock door to a sliding door. CONCLUSION: The current legislation and review practice pertaining to secondary suites has been in place for over a decade. This report outlines the issues that have arisen with respect to the staff review of Building Permits and efforts to limit the illegal conversion of basement areas to secondary suites by design restrictions. It is recommended that Council direct changes to the Zoning Bylaw to codify the current practice with regard to external basements doors. ____________________________________________________ Prepared by: Charles R Goddard BA MA Manager of Development & Environmental Services _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng General Manager, Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.L.

This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6926- 2012 be given First Reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule C and D of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 -1999. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Shauna Steven (Spire Development Corporation) Owner: R. Tong MD Inc. Legal Description: Lot 1 Except: Part subdivided by Plan LMP20045; District Lot 222 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 72179 OCP: Existing: Commercial Proposed: Commercial Zoning: Existing: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Proposed: C-2 (Community Commercial) 1101 - 2 - Surrounding Uses North: Use: Commercial Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial), & RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation Commercial South: Use: Residential (south of abutting lane) Zone: R-1 (Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Commercial Zone: CD-1-92 (A Comprehensive Development Zone for medically-related uses) Designation: Commercial West: Use: Commercial Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Commercial Proposed Use of Property: Commercial Site Area: 0.327 ha. (0.8 acre) Access: Lougheed Highway and lane behind Servicing: Full Urban Companion Applications: 2012-005-DP b) Project Description: The subject site is located on the south side of Lougheed Highway, across from Triple Tree Nurseryland. The parcel is 0.327 ha. in size and has access to a lane from 118 Avenue. The applicant proposes to convert and extend the existing commercial building. The current CS-1 zone allows for some of the intended uses (e.g. medical clinic), but not medical specialists offices, a pharmacy and diagnostic facilities. These additional uses are permitted in the C-2 zone the applicant is seeking. The existing building is about 647 sq. m2 (6,960 ft2). With the proposed addition of about 517 m2 (5,561 ft2), the total floor area of the proposed building will be 1,177 m2 (12, 521 ft2). Parking is provided in two areas. In front, there will be 39 parking spaces, two of which will be handicapped spaces. To the rear with lane access, will be 13 spaces intended to be for staff. Access to the front parking area is by way of an existing driveway through the lands to the east (20580 Lougheed Highway) as part of a previous development application for those lands. The access is secured by way of an existing easement, with the District as a third party on the associated restrictive covenant. Running concurrently with this application is Development Permit application (2012-005-DP). It will govern the details of the proposed expansion, exterior renovations, parking layout, landscaping and signage. - 3 - c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan : This western stretch of the Lougheed Highway was predominantly service commercial in nature. However, more recent C-2 (Community Commercial) zone applications to accommodate community commercial-type uses is giving the area a mixed commercial flavor. The proposal is entirely in accordance with the Commercial land use designation, and complies with the policies in Section 6.3.4 General Commercial regarding the pattern of development and accommodation of market trends, and Section 6.3.5 Community Commercial Node respecting better serving local resident’s commercial needs and being compatible with the surrounding uses. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject site from CS-1 (Service Commercial) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit the existing 647 m2 building to be expanded by 517 m2 and have a total floor area of 1,177 m2. A preliminary review of the proposed building and associated parking has concluded that the proposal complies with the applicable Zoning Bylaw and parking regulation. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, 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. Advisory Design Panel : A Commercial 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. - 4 - d) 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) Building Department; b) Engineering Department; c) Operations Department; d) Fire Department; e) Parks Department; f) Ministry of Transportation. 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. e) 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 C); 2. Development Permit Application (Schedule D); The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: This proposal involves converting and expanding an existing former service commercial building into a building that will accommodate commercial community uses. The site and building plans were reviewed on a preliminary basis. A full review will be conducted before this application is advanced to Second Reading and as part of reviewing the companion development permit application. - 5 - The proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan land use designation and applicable commercial policies. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adrian Kopystynski, MCIP, MCAHP Planning Technician _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect to Section 879 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: 1. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the place is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; 2. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; 3. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; 4. First Nations; 5. School District Boards, Greater Boards and Improvement District Boards; and 6. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. And in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the District’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6924-2012 be given First Reading; and That the applicant provides further rezoning and OCP information as described on Schedule B of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 – 1999 and a subdivision application with its required supporting documentation. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Haney Pitt Meadows Christian School Association Owner: Haney-Pitt Meadows Christian School Association 1104 - 2 - Legal Description: D.L.: 241, Plan: 4921 Lot: 1, D.L.: 241, Plan: 4921 Lot: 1, D.L.: 241, Plan: 69727 OCP: Existing: Institutional and Residential Zoning: Existing: P-2 (Special Institutional), R-1 (Residential District) Proposed: R-1 (Residential District), P-2 (Special Institutional), Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Park Zone: RS-1b, RS-1, RS-3 Designation Park South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1b Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Elementary School Zone: P-1 Designation: Institutional West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1, RS-1b Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Institutional Proposed Use of Property: Institutional, 4 single family lots Site Area: 1.770 HA. (4.37 acres) Access: 204 B Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Project Description: The applicant is seeking to rezone and subdivide four (4) single family lots from the Haney-Pitt Meadows Christian Association school site. The Christian School Association recently zoned the land they own west of their school site and is completing an 18 lot subdivision. The current application seeks to regain some lots lost due to the need to alter the overall street/ lot pattern on the site to accommodate a grave. The existence of the grave required the need to adjust the recently adopted zoning boundaries on the school property. The applicant was aware of this problem but preferred to complete the original rezoning application and then adjust it with a second application rather than delay the entire project. The grave will now remain on the school site rather than within the road right-of-way by locating the road westward on the site. This adjustment will require the rezoning of a 1,642.5 sq m (17, 680 sq. ft.) portion of the school site from P-2 (Special Institutional) to R-1 (Residential District) to accommodate 4 lots and a small portion of 204 B Street from R-1 (residential District) to P-2 (Special Institutional). At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. - 3 - c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The site is designated Special Institutional (P-2) with a portion of the future fronting road (204 B street) designated Residential District (R-1). These designations will have to be adjusted at Second Reading to conform to the future subdivision and zoning boundaries once fully determined. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to reconfigure the existing rezoning boundaries (P-2 (Special Institutional) and R-1 (Residential District)) on the eastern portion of the properties located at 12142, 12170 and 12140 203 Street to accommodate a consolidated school site and 4 residential lots. Any variations from the requirements of the zones will require a Development Variance Permit application. At this time no variances are expected. Development Permits: This site is not subject to any development permit application.. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. d) 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) 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. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between First and Second Reading. e) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 – 1999 as amended: 1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B or Schedule C); 3. Subdivision Application, as per attached requirements. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. - 4 - CONCLUSION: The development proposal seeks a small amendment to the Official Community Plan to rationalize the Haney-Pitt Meadows Christian School site within a residential subdivision of their site fronting 203 Street. It is recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading. It is expected that once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.6924-2012 will be amended and an Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw will be introduced. . 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. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Charles R Goddard BA MA Manager of Development and Environmental Services _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Morningstar Homes Ltd. Owners: Allard Contractors Ltd (Inc No. 50416); Westwood Gravel Ltd (Inc No. 456231); and Montcalm Aggresgates Ltd (Inc No. 92144) 1105 - 2 - Legal Description: Lot 1, except part subdivided by Plan 42419, Section 10, Township 12, NWD Plan 12923; Lot 2, Section 10, Township 12, NWD Plan 12923; Lot 12, Section 10, Township 12, NWD Plan 42419; Lot 8, Section 10, Township 12, NWD Plan 18280; and Lot 1, Section 10, Township 12, NWD Plan 72103 OCP: Existing: Medium Density Residential, and Low/Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), A-2 (Upland Agricultural), RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation Medium Density Residential, and Low/Medium Density Residential South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential, Conservation East: Use: Proposed Townhouses, Vacant Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Medium Density Residential, Conservation West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (Suburban Residential), and a portion under application for RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Property: Inactive Gravel Extraction site Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 8.6 ha (21.3 ac) Access: Jackson Road, 104 Avenue, 105A Avenue, Robertson Street Servicing requirement: Full Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The development site is located on both sides of Jackson Road on the north side of 104 Avenue and it has been used for gravel extraction for many years. As a result, the topography of the site has changed significantly over the years, and further regrading will be required to enable the proposed development. - 3 - c) Project Description: The applicant is proposing to rezone the lands on the west side of Jackson Road to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential and to rezone the lands on the east side to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District). The proposed lot sizes and road patterns would be compatible with the adjacent land development patterns. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low/Medium Density Residential on the west side and Medium Density Residential on the east side of Jackson Road. The proposed development is consistent with these land use designations. The southeast corner of the development site is currently designated Low/Medium Density Residential, but the area has some steep slopes and it is anticipated that this area will be designated as Conservation. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), A-2 (Upland Agricultural) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit subdivision of the site into approximately 162 residential lots. The lands on the west side of Jackson Road would be zoned RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) and the lands to the east would be zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District). Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the Official Community Plan, an Intensive Residential Development Permit application is required for the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots to ensure the current proposal provides emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment, while protecting important qualities of the natural environment. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement for the natural environment and for development that is protected from hazardous conditions 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; - 4 -  All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;  All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule “C” to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. 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) Parks Department; e) School District; and f) Ministry of Environment 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. f) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. g) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879 – 1999 as amended: 1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3. Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 4. Intensive Residential Development Permit Application; and 5. Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. - 5 - CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the Official Community Plan, however, justification has been provided to support an Official Community Plan amendment to provide for a Conservation designation in the southeast corner. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant First Reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to Second Reading.

The subject property is identified as a “starred property” on Schedule B of the Official Community Plan. The purpose of designating the property this way was to signal the intent to include it in the Urban Area Boundary subject to it being removed from Metro Vancouver’s Green Zone. On October 24, 2008 Metro Vancouver Board resolved to retain this property within the Green Zone. However, on July 29, 2011, the Metro Vancouver Board adopted the Regional Growth Strategy which included this property within the Urban Containment Area of the Regional Growth Strategy. The property needs to be included in Metro Vancouver Fraser Sewerage Area Boundary. This application requires an Official Community Plan amendment for the following reasons:  to include the subject site within the Urban Area Boundary;  to change the designation to Urban Residential and Conservation from Agricultural; and;  to remove the “starred property” designation from the subject site. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That in accordance with Section 879 of the Local Government Act opportunity for early and on-going consultation has been provided by way of posting Offic ial Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6843-2011 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting, and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a public hearing on the bylaw; 1107 - 2 - 2. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6843-2011 be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 3. That it be confirmed that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6843- 2011 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6843-2011 be given First and Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6844-2011 be given Second Reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 6. That the following term(s) and condition(s) be met prior to final reading. i. Approval from the Ministry of Transportation; ii. Inclusion of the site into the GVSDD Fraser Sewerage Area; iii. Satisfactory resolution of design, maintenance requirements , maintenance agreement, and receipt of security from the applicant for the total cost of the storm water drainage as proposed by the applicant on District Lands (Lower Jackson Farm); iv. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; v. Amendment to Schedule "B" & “C” of the Official Community Plan; vi. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Coven ant which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; vii. Road and park dedication as required; viii. Removal of the existing building/s; ix. A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations. x. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s). - 3 - DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: D K Bowins & Associates Inc. Owner: Michael S. McBride Legal Description: Lot A, Section 3, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan 8296 OCP: Existing: Agricultural Proposed: (Albion Area Plan) Medium Density Residential, Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Albion Park Zone: P-1 (Park and School) Designation Park South: Use: Park (Lower Jackson Farm) Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agriculture East: Use: Park (Lower Jackson Farm) Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agriculture West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Rural Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.272 ha. (3.1 ac) Access: 244 Street Servicing requirement: Full Urban Companion Applications: 2011-065-SD, 2011-065-VP and 2012-041-DP - 4 - b) Project Description: The applicant has submitted a proposal to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) to allow the land to be subdivided into about 30 lots. A new road is proposed across the bottom of the lot from 244 Street and continuing along the east property line. All the lots will have driveway access from rear lanes. An area of about 405 m2 on 244 Street will be dedicated as park for creek protection, and 690 m2 along the eastern and southern boundary will be dedicated as park to provide a landscaped buffer between the development and the adjacent Jackson Farm park lands. The site is located at the southeast corner of 102 Avenue and 244 Street , adjacent to Lower Jackson Farm which abuts the site to the east and to the south. There is a gentle slope from the northeast to the southwest, and a watercourse with a treed wetland area located in the southwest portion of the property. Manmade channels direct drainage waters from Lower Jackson Farm lands through the site into a short stream on the site. This stream flows into Jackson Creek after emerging from a culvert on the west side of 244 Street. The existing is a single family residential building and some accessory buildings clustered along 102 Avenue are proposed to be removed. c) Planning Analysis: Metro Vancouver: This subject site is one of the “starred properties” identified on the Official Community Plan Land Use Plan, Schedule B. “Starred properties” are ones that were removed or exempt from the requirements of the Agricultural Land Reserve. On July 29, 2011, the Metro Vancouver Board adopted the Regional Growth Strategy, thus including the subject lands into the Regional Growth Strategy’s Urban Containment Boundary. Official Community Plan : This site is currently designated Agricultural and is located immediately to the east of the Albion Area Plan. To accommodate the proposal the following amendments to the Official Community plan are required:  To amend the OCP Urban Area Boundary to conform with the Regional Growth Strategy Urban Containment Boundary by including this property in the OCP Urban Area Boundary;  To place the property within the Albion Area Plan and designate it Medium Density Residential and Conservation; and  To removed the “starred property” designation from the subject lands. The Medium Density Residential designation is most appropriate as it would be consistent with the designation of properties in the southeast portion of the Albion Area Plan. This provides for a range of housing styles, including the smaller lot single detached housing that are being proposed by the applicant. The areas proposed to be designated include a strip of land at the eastern and southern - 5 - boundary of the site to buffer Lower Jackson Farm park lands, and the area along 244 Street to be retained for creek protection. Zoning Bylaw: The property is proposed to be rezoned from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District). The proposed single family lots range in area from about 218 m² to 261 m² for interior lots and 263 m² to 246 m² for lots on corners, meeting the R-3 minimum lot area requirement of 213 m². The lot width exceeds the minimum required lot width of 7.9 metres, ranging from 8.1 metres to 8.35 metres and wider corner lots. The lot depth matches or exceeds the 27 metres requirement. All the lots have lane access with detached garages. Development Variance Permit The applicant is seeking the following variances:  To vary the road right-of-way from 18 metres to 15 metres, but retain the required 8.6 metres carriageway, which will permit two-way traffic and parking;  To vary some of the servicing standards (sidewalk and curb) at the eastern edge of the road abutting Jackson Farm to be more compatible with the proposed bioswale area; and  To vary the R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zone building height requirement from 9.75 metres to 10.5 metres. Development Permits: The subject lands are proposed be zoned R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District). The Official Community Plan requires that residential developments with densities exceeding 30 units per net hectare, such as R-3 Zone subdivision, are subject to an Intensive Residential Development Permit. The purpose of the Intensive Residential Development Permit is to provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and quality of the building environment while protection important qualities of the natural environment. Development Information Meeting : A Development Information Meeting was held by the applicant on March 1, 2012 at the Albion Elementary School. Seven (7) individuals attended. Concerns raised included: traffic and park ing along 102 Avenue (Engineering proposes restricting on-street parking); the subject property should become part of Lower Jackson Farm park land; park lands need to have more child play areas and play fields; and lack of schools. - 6 - d) Interdepartmental Imp lications: Building Department: A preliminary review of supporting technical documentation suggests the site has a shallow water table (approximately 0.8 metres – 1.2 metres below surface). As such, a Restrictive Covenant may be required restricting below grades basements. Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the application and has provided the following comments:  The land cannot be rezoned until the site is included in the GVSDD Fraser Sewerage Area;  Road dedication is required to widen 102 Avenue;  Off-site service upgrading is required (sanitary, drainage and water).  Existing septic systems are to be removed. The detailed Engineering Comments have been provided to applicant to be satisfactorily resolved. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be approximately an additional 30 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $750.00. Council approval for the storm drainage proposal by the applicant on District land is required . The District currently does not have an approved overall concept plan for Lower Jackson Farm. The applicant will need to work with environmental and park staff to assess the appropriateness of the works, and if acceptable, their satisfactory integration into a park. This would include: their design, necessary maintenance requirements, a maintenance agreement, and receipt of security from the applicant for the total cost of the storm water drainage. School Board: A referral was sent to School Board No. 43, however a response has not yet been received. In the past, the School Board has indicated to the District that the Albion Elementary School is beyond capacity and future home owners could expect their children to attend another school in their immediate neighborhood. - 7 - Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 882 of the Act. The amendment required for this application, for redesignation from Agricultural to (Albion Area Plan) Medium Density Residential and Conservation and adjusting the Urban Area Boundary to match with the Metro Vancouver Urban Containment Boundary, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing pr ocedures is required. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. e) Environmental Implications: The subject site, together with the Lower Jackson Farm lands to the east and south share some complex topography and drainage issues. There are two watercourses – a short creek on the development site and Jackson Creek located in the forested portion of Lower Jackson Farm to the south of the development site. This short watercourse and the immediate surrounding trees and the buffer strip forming a buffer between the development site and Lower Jackson farm are to be dedicated as park and designated Conservation. A significant amount of the overland drainage is intercepted by one or more manmade channels that traverse the development site from the Jackson Farm area to the east. From an ecological design perspective, it is desirable to re-establish the natural drainage pattern by re-routing these intercepted waters to flow directly into Jackson Creek further upstream. The waters from the development site would continue to flow into the short creek. The applicant proposes to install works along the eastern boundary of the development, mainly on Lower Jackson Farm lands, to direct waters from the park to Jackson Creek. This proposed north- south channel and vegetated buffer zone would be enhanced and replanted in a manner to ensure a functional natural zone that does not require continual maintenance by the District. There will be a five year maintenance agreement to ensure survival of the plantings and to ensure the channel is functioning properly. The channel will essentially be a dry creek bed in the summer periods but will serve the purpose of re-directing surface flows on a portion of Lower Jackson Farm to Jackson Creek rather than across the private property area, during heavier rains. CONCLUSION: The current application seeks to achieve compliance with the Official Community Plan. Council granted First Reading to a zoning amending bylaw because this land is a “starred property” signaling Council’s intension to consider including the lands within the Urban Area Boundary. The Regional Growth Strategy amended in July 2011 to include the subject site into the Urban Containment Area, - 8 - therefore Council may proceed with considering amending the OCP to include the lands in the Urban Area Boundary, and designating the lands to Urban Residential and Conservation. Therefore, it is recommended that Council consider granting Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6843-2011 First and Second Reading, and granting Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6844-2011 Second Reading, and that both bylaws be forwarded to a Public Hearing. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adrian Kopystynski, MCIP, MCAHP Planning Technician _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

Removal of the existing buildings; DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Matthew Cheng (Architect) Owner: 0706472 BC LTD Legal Description: Lot: 1, District lots 278 and 279, Group 1, New Westminster District, Plan 60497 Lot 573, Listrict Lot 279, Group 1, New Westminster District, Plan 114 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential Proposed: Industrial Zoning: Existing: M-3 (Special Industrial), C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Proposed: M-3 (Special Industrial) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Designation Urban Residential South: Use: Vacant Zone: C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) Designation: Commercial East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Railway Tracks, Vacant Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Outdoor storage, warehouse Proposed Use of Property: Industrial strata warehouse Access: Maple Crescent Servicing: Full Urban Site Area: 5068 m² (1.25 ac) Companion Applications: DP/036/08, VP/035/08, SD/035/08 - 3 - b) Project Description: The subject site is currently 2 separate lots, the larger of the two consists of predominantly outdoor storage with a dilapidated residential structure. The smaller of the tw o properties contains a small single family house. The site abuts the Canadian Pacific Railway and has three street frontages; Ditton Street, Lorne Avenue and Maple Crescent. The properties are currently split-zoned, M-3 (Business Park Zone) and C-3 (Town Centre Commercial). The applicant is proposing to rezone portions of the subject properties located at 11307 and 11295 Maple Cres cent from C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) to M-3 (Business Park Zone) to remove the split-zone and permit the construction of a new two-storey industrial strata building on a consolidated lot. The proposal also includes a “caretaker’s suite” in the western building facing Ditton Street. The development as proposed has approximately 20 strata industrial units and would have two vehicular accesses off of Maple Crescent with parking hidden behind the buildings facing the railroad tracks. Separate pedestrian access is provided for each unit off Lorne and Ditton, shared pedestrian access between each set of two units off Maple Crescent. Landscaping has been provided along all three road frontages buffering the buildings from the road. The buildings are staggered along Maple Crescent which aids, along with the vehicle accesses, to break up the visual massing of the building. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan : The subject property is currently designated Urban Residential on Schedule B – Generalized Land use in the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 6425-2006. The proposal calls for an Official Community Plan Amendment to the Industrial designation. The proposed M-3 (Business Park Zone) zoning is consistent with the Industrial designation. Both of the subject properties were formerly designated Industrial in the previous Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 5434-1996. They were re-designated to Urban Residential in the current OCP in anticipation for a multi-family residential development. The proponent made application for a low rise apartment building in 2008 and completed a noise and vibration study for the su bject site. The noise was found to be 75 dBA which is classified by CMHC as “unacceptable”- noise exposure so severe that sound insulation costs would be prohibitive and outdoor environment would be excessively noisy. In addition, the measured vibration levels exceeded the CMHC criterion for residential use by over 100%. Although construction measures to mitigate the noise and vibration effects are available, however, they would carry significant additional cost which would no longer make the development project viable. The applicant returned with an industrial warehouse building based the predominant M-3 (Business Park Zone) zoning of the subject sites and requests to return to the previous Industrial land use designation based on the new project proposal. Zoning Bylaw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that due to the nature of this site, this proposal will require several variances to proceed. - 4 - As such, a Development Variance Permit application has been received to vary the following: 1. To vary the minimum exterior side yard setback (Maple Crescent) from 4.5 metres to 3.28 metres as proposed. 2. To vary the minimum landscape strip required for an exterior side lot line from 3.0 metres to 2.0 metres as proposed. 3. To vary the minimum interior side yard setback (Railway) from 1.5 metres required to 0.02 metres as proposed. 4. To vary the 5 metre landscape strip required for the south west side of the site the where abuts an urban residential zone (Railway). These variances will be reviewed in a future report to Council. Development Permits: An Industrial Development Permit is required for all new development on land designated Industrial within the urban area boundary as noted in the Official Community Plan. The purpose of the Industrial Development Permit is to promote quality Industrial development through attractive design that is compatible with adjacent development and conforms to the Official Community Plan guidelines. The Development Permit will be the subject of a future report to Council. Advisory Design Panel : The proposed project was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel on December 2009 at which time the panel recommended that the applicant resubmit this application for further Advisory Design Panel review addressing several concerns. The applicant responded to the Panel’s concerns and returned to the following meeting in January 2010 where the Panel supported the project moving forward with the following points to be addressed through Planning staff at the Development Permit stage;  Consider protecting the edges of the buildings from truck traffic.  Resolve the conflict between the truck traffic route and the exit doors.  Consider deleting the brackets and the lower canopy and support the canopy from above.  Introduce the same canopy treatment for the middle building.  Reduce the height of the window sills at the lower level to increase visual permeability between the street and the units.  Introduce an Evergreen hedge screen on three sides of the garbage and bike enclosure. Development Information Meeting : The developer hosted two development information meetings for the development on the subject property. The first was held June 17, 2009 for a previous development concept, a four storey mini- storage industrial warehouse. Approximately twelve people attended this meeting. Although many - 5 - liked the aesthetics of the building, concerns about the increased traffic and project massing relative to the area were raised. The second development information meeting for the proposed two-storey development held on March 29, 2010 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at Hammond Community Centre , was held by the property owners and project architect. Three people signed in on the attendance record. Discussion during the meeting was focused on three main community concerns: increased traffic on Maple Crescent, appropriateness for area, and the development’s affect of surrounding residential property values. Traffic The developer advised that this is not a development involving retail functionality and that an increase in traffic would be minimal. Parking for the development is also situated at the rear of the property, out of sight from surrounding residences. The community expressed preference for a traffic signal at Lorne Avenue and Maple Crescent for road safety reasons. Appropriateness The developer advised that there is already a mix of various uses along this stretch of Maple Crescent, including residential, commercial and industrial use. The Developer also advised that the scale of the project had been cut in half from their original four storey design, previously presented to the neighbourhood in a Development Information Meeting in June 2009 for better alignment with the rest of the neighbourhood. Property Values The developer noted that an unsightly bare lot would have a new building with nice landscaping, paved sidewalks abutting the property and street lighting which may enhance the property values in the area. d) Interdepartmental I mplications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has identified that all of the services required in support of the rezoning do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the applicant to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and post the required security to complete the necessary works prior to final reading. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposed development and has provided the applicant with information on required fire safety plans and fire department connections. These details will be achieved at the Building Permit stage. Parks & Leisure Services Department: - 6 - The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the development is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will need to be included in their future budget requirements. e) School District Comments: A referral was sent to School District No. 42 on April 15, 2009; no comments have been received from this referral. f) Canadian Pacific Railway Comments: The Canadian Pacific Railway reviewed a referral of the proposed project in April of 2009 and notes that the proposed project is a more suitable adjacency than a residential occupancy in terms of noise and vibration. The structure may in fact act to provide some sound attenuation for the residential area to the north of Maple Crescent. In the construction phases, CP would not permit any overhead crane swing over CP lands unless there was an aerial trespass agreement between the developer and CP. Please note that in terms of the structure placement, this project does not adhere to the recommended 30 metre setback from the property line. It is also recommended that an intervening fence be installed at the property line to protect users from entering onto the railway corridor. g) Intergovernmental Issues: Local Government Act: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council has considered at the April 13, 2010 Council Meeting, whether consultation is required with specifically: i. the board of the regional district in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a municipal official community plan; ii. the board of any regional district that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. the council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. first nations; v. school district boards, greater boards and improvements district boards, and vi. the provincial and federal governments and their agencies. and in that regard recommends that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matte r beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. An amendment to the Official Community Plan requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section - 7 - 882 of the Act. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Coun cil of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that this application be favourably considered and First and Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6665-2009, that Second Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6666-2009, and that application RZ/035/08 be forwarded to Public Hearing. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Jen Csikos Planning Technician _______________________________________________ Approved by: Jane Pickering, MCP, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

The application is for an 11 lot RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) subdivision for three properties located at 10455, 10469 and 10481 245B Street. This Development Variance Permit is for two of the properties (10455 and 10481 245B Street) only. The purpose of the Development Variance Permit is to vary the minimum lot width for the lots fronting 245 Street to 14.34 metres rather than the proposed RS-1b zone minimum lot width of 15 metres. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/075/10 respecting properties located at 10455 and 10481 245B Street. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Don Schmidt Owners: Janice and Brian Ahonen Rebecca Awram Legal Description: Lots 2 and 4, Sections 10 and 11, Township 12, NWD Plan 72100 OCP : Existing: Low/Medium Density Residential Proposed: Low/Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential 1109 - 2 - South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Low Medium Density Residential West: Use: School Zone: P-1 (Park and School) Designation: Institutional Existing Use of Property: Residential Proposed Use of Property: Residential Site Area: 1.2 hectares (2.96 acres) Access: 245 and 245B Street Companion Applications: RZ/075/10, SD/075/10, 2011-032-DP Requested Variance: Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 - 1985: Schedule D –RS-1b: To vary the minimum lot width from 15 metres to 14.34 metres for lots 1, 2, 3, 6,7 and 8. b) Project Description: The applicant has applied to rezone three properties located at 10455, 10469, and 10481 245B Street from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit eight new lots on the 245 Street frontage and retain the existing dwellings on three large lots fronting 245B Street. As part of the subdivision process, the applicant is seeking a lot width variance on lots 1,2,3,6,7 and 8 (existing 10455 and 10481 245B Street) to preserve the existing hedging and a storm right-of-way identified as a watercourse situated between proposed lots 5 and 6. The proposed variance is to allow a 14.34 metre lot width rather than the minimum lot width of 15 metres for six proposed lots on two of the three parent properties. Currently, there is a significant hedge along the property lines of lots 1,3,4,9 and 11, and a storm right-of-way on the south property line of lot 5 and 10. The Environmental Consultant has identified that the open channel within the storm right-of-way is a watercourse due to its role in conveying nutrients to downstream fish bearing systems. Without the lot width variance, some hedging and the watercourse would be impacted. By keeping the existing property lines, the hedging and watercourse can be preserved. The applicant has completed a Watercourse Protection Development Permit and will be registering a tree protection covenant to preserve a number of hedge stems and significant trees on the development site and widen the storm right-of-way to allow for future maintenance access to the open channel. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject sites are designated Low Medium Density Residential in the Albion Area Plan and the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zoning complies with this designation. - 3 - Zoning Bylaw: The proposed lots meet the minimum zoning requirements for lot area and lot depth in the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. The lot width variance for six of the 11 proposed lots from 15 to 14.34 metres is the only requested variance. d) Alternatives: Instead of permitting the lot width variance, the proposed subdivision plan for eight lots on 245 Street could be revised to satisfy the minimum lot width; however, the existing hedging and watercourse could not be retained. Alternatively, the subdivision plan could be revised to satisfy the minimum lot width and be designed to maintain the existing hedging and watercourse In this case the lot yield would be reduced. CONCLUSION: The development variance request is for less than a metre reduction in lot width and facilitates preservation of significant hedging and a watercourse. Therefore, it is recommended that Development Variance Permit DVP/075/10 be approved. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Amelia Bowden Planning Technician _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, MCP, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.L.

The subject site consists of three legal parcels within the Town Centre Area, west of Burnett Street that will shortly be consolidated into one parcel. This project meets the requirements for inclusion in the Town Centre Incentives (TCI) Program under the “New Residential Construction -4 storeys and higher” category falling within Sub Area 1 of the Town Centre Area. This application is in compliance with the Town Centre Area Plan of the Official Community Plan. The proposal is for a four-storey apartment building with 75 units and under-ground parking in the RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential District). Council gave Third Reading to this proposal on October 11, 2011. This report will address the requirements of Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan for the Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines. The Development Permit application is to regulate the form and character of the proposed apartment building and the Development Variance Permit application is to vary some setback variances as described in this report. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2011-057-DVP respecting properties located at 11885, 11873 and 11865 Burnett Street; and further That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2011-057-DP respecting properties located at 11885, 11873 and 11865 Burnett Street. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Geoff Lawlor of Geoff Lawlor Architecture Inc. Owner: 0906112 BC Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 8, Section 17, Township 12, NWD Plan 22046; Lot 9, Section 17, Township 12, NWD Plan 22046; Lot 10, Section 17, Township 12, NWD Plan 22046; OCP: Existing: Low-Rise Apartment 1110 - 2 - Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Low-rise Apartment South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Low-rise Apartment East: Use: Single Family Residential & Burnett Street Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Low-rise Apartment West: Use: Multi Family Residential Zone: RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment) and RM-3 (High Density Apartment) Designation: Low-rise Apartment Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Multi-Family Residential (apartments) Site Area: 3,989.99 m2 Access: Burnett Street Servicing requirement: Full Urban Previous Applications: 2011-057-RZ b) Project Description: The subject site totalling a consolidated area of 3,989.99 m2 is located on the west side of Burnett Street, along the eastern edge of the Town Centre Area. The proposal is to permit the construction of a wood frame, four-storied apartment building with 75 units. This proposal is taking advantage of the reduced parking standards within the Central Business District of the Town Centre Area. All residential parking for the proposed building is underground. As per the Town Centre Area Plan, a 2.5 metre future east-west bikeway connection is planned along the southern edge of the southern property line. Half of this bikeway (1.25m) will be obtained now, with the remainder to be acquired from property to the south when it is redeveloped. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan & the Town Centre Area Plan: The subject property is located within the Central Business District and is designated “L ow-rise Apartment” in the Town Centre Area Plan. The proposed RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zoning complies with the Low-rise Apartment land use designation which is intended to be 3 to 5 storey apartment form of housing with central access to all the units. - 3 - Civic Core Precinct – Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines: The Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines are meant to provide possible design solutions for achieving architecture and site-related development objectives. Development proposals within the Civic Core Precinct Town Centre Development Permit Guidelines are being assessed against the following key guidelines:  Promote the Civic Core as the “heart” of the Town Centre The proposal is strategically located within the Central Business District of the Town Centre Area within walking distance of several public amenities such as the library, leisure centre, park, shopping, schools and restaurants. Adding this density will revitalize the downtown core and promote the use of existing facilities.  Create a pedestrian-oriented, boutique-style shopping district At this location, the Town Centre Area Plan does not require ground floor commercial uses. This is a purely residential development. However, it is important to note that vehicular and pedestrian circulation has been separated well, and units facing Burnett Street have a street presence.  Reference traditional architectural styles The proposed architectural style, design and materials such as a combination of vinyl shake siding and vertical board and batten vinyl siding, perforated vinyl planks for soffits, painted wooden trims, artificial stone veneer at prominent locations, painted lumber brackets and painted metal flashing is reflective of current architectural styles and are compatible with the existing development. A variety of units (one and two bedroom) have been proposed to cater to a variety of housing needs and affordability.  Capitalize on important views Units above the second floor are anticipated to enjoy some views of the mountains.  Enhance existing cultural activities and public open space Usable Open Space for residents is proposed as shown on the Site Plan (Appendix B). This is oriented to benefit from the southern exposure. The proposal is within walking distance of the Public Library, Leisure Centre and the ACT.  Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features The proposed landscape plan shows native trees, shrubs and ground -cover that are easy to maintain and absorb rain-water. The proposed trees are both shade-giving and ornamental in nature.  Maintain street interconnectivity Street interconnectivity is anticipated to be enhanced with the proposed off-site upgrades such as new sidewalk facing Burnett Street. - 4 - Zoning Bylaw: The proposed RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zone allows a medium density apartment use and specifies a Floor Space Ratio of 1.8. The applicant has proposed a four storey wood frame building with a Floor Space Ratio of 1.61. The RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) zone requires a common usable open space of 20% of the net lot area and the applicant has proposed an open space of 26.3% (1027 m2). The zone also requires a Common Activity Area of 75m2 which has been included as an indoor common meeting room on the main floor (Appendix C). The proposed building complies with the density and height requirements of the zone but some minor setback variances have been requested as described below. Variances to the Zoning Bylaw: The zone specifies a 7.5 metre setback from all property lines. The applicant is seeking the following setback variances: i) Part 6, Section 604(6) (a) of the RM-2 zone (Medium Density Apartment Residential) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the front yard setback (facing Burnett Street) from 7.5 metres to 5.32 metres; ii) Part 4, Section 403, 4(b)(1) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the siting of the sunlight control projections from 6.25 metres to 5.32 metres for the front yard setback (facing Burnett St); iii) Part 4, Section 403, 4(b)(2) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the siting of the sunlight control projections from 6.89 metres to 6.70 metres for the interior side yard on the south; iv) Part 4, Section 403, 4(b)(2) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the siting of the sunlight control projections from 6.89 metres to 6.36 metres for the interior side yard on the north; The above stated variances are considered minor in nature and not anticipated to negatively impact any neighbours. These relaxations are consistent with others granted to similar projects within the town centre area. Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking & Loading Bylaw #4350-1990: The Town Centre Parking Strategy revisited parking standards for some uses within the Town Centre Area and includes revised parking standards for residences based on number of bedrooms for a multi-family residential use. This proposal benefits from the minimum parking standards due to its location and because it is eligible for the Town Centre Incentives Program in Sub-Area 1. As per Section 10 of the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw #4350-1990, a minimum of 0.9 spaces per unit are required for a bachelor apartment which increases by 0.1 space per additional bedroom. Based on these parking standards, for a total of 75 units (59 one bedroom units and 16 two bedroom units), this project requires 77 residential parking spaces and 8 visitor pa rking spaces. Total proposed parking spaces are 97 spaces which includes 89 resident parking stalls (including one handicapped parking space) and 8 visitor parking stalls (including one handicapped parking space). The developer considers providing a higher parking ratio an important marketing tool. Except for the handicapped visitor parking stall, all are proposed in the underground parkade separated by an overhead security door from the residential parking. As for long-term and short-term bicycle parking, 24 short-term bicycle racks and 21 long-term bicycle lockers will be provided. - 5 - d) Advisory Design Panel: On June 14, 2011, this proposal was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. The panel resolved that the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow up;  Consider switching the amenity room and adjacent room unit A;  Consider flipping the southeast unit A to introduce more exterior front windows;  Consider walkway access to main floor north units;  Consider stopping the stone veneer at the top of the 2nd floor at the entry;  Consider reworking the visitor parking and providing barrier free access to the elevator and lobby;  Consider larger scale planting and evergreen adjacent to parkade walls;  Consider one tree species for pedestrian walkway allele parallel to ramp;  Consider feature planting at main entry;  Consider the addition of reveals at exposed concrete walls;  Consider reworking garbage room area;  Consider extending roof over upper balconies;  Consider enlarging main entrance lobby area;  Consider reworking units B and C to improve access to natural light and heat;  Show short-term bicycle parking as required by the Parking Bylaw. The project architect has incorporated some revisions to the satisfaction of the panel. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department have reviewed the proposal and confirmed that all the deficient off-site services will be provided through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the Developm ent Permit is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The applicant has ensured that all these will be addressed through the Building Permit drawings. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The applicant has ensured that all these will be addressed through the Building Permit drawings to comply with the code requirements. - 6 - f) Citizen/Customer Implications: The mail-outs to inform residents of the proposed setback variances were mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date. Concerned residents in the neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions. g) Financial Implications: In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated landscape cost of $67,382.67 the security will be $ 67,382.67, payable prior to DP issuance. There will be some trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. h) Alternatives: Council has given Third Reading to the rezoning application and will be reviewing the Final Reading Report for 2011-057-RZ at the May 22, 2012 Council Meeting. Council approval is required for the Town Centre Development Permit as presented in this report prior to a Building Permit being issued. Council has the option of not approving the Development Permit and the Variance Permit. However, not approving this proposal would result in a consolidated piece of land remaining vacant or the applicant having to significantly amend the current design. CONCLUSION: The proposed use conforms to the Official Community Plan and the Town Centre Area Plan, with the need for only minor zoning variances, and fits well with the Town Centre Plan designation and Official Community Plan policies of promoting residential density to revitalize the Town Centre Area. Therefore, it is recommended that 2011-057-DVP and 2011-057-DP be approved. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Chuck Goddard, MA, MB Manager of Development & Environmental Services _____________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence: J.

This is a zoned site and the M-3 (Business Park) zone permits a variety of industrial uses. The Development Permit application is to regulate the form and character of the proposed industrial building and the Development Variance Permit application is to vary some setbacks facing 113A Avenue and Kingston Street as described in this report. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2012/DVP/019 respecting property located at 11378 Kingston Street; and further That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2012/DP/019 respecting property located at 11378 Kingston Street. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Rudy Giovanni, Adriatic Construction Commercial Ltd. Owner: Marinelli Investments(Kingston) Ltd. Legal Description: Lot: 35, Group: 1; D.L.: 280, Plan: 86659; PID: 016-470-087 OCP: Existing: Industrial Proposed: Industrial Zoning: Existing: M-3 (Business Park) Proposed: M-3 (Business Park) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Industrial and 113B Avenue Zone: M-3 (Business Park) Designation: Industrial South: Use: Industrial Zone: M-3 (Business Park) Designation: Industrial 1111 - 2 - East: Use: Industrial Zone: M-3 (Business Park) Designation: Industrial West: Use: Industrial and Kingston Street Zone: M-3 (Business Park) Designation: Industrial Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Multi-tenanted Industrial building Access: Kingston Street Servicing: Full Urban Previous Applications: None b) Project Description: The subject site (Appendix A), 2460 m2 in area is located in the District’s Industrial Park in west Maple Ridge and thus subject to the Industrial Development Permit Guidelines as outlined in the 2006 Official Community Plan. The site is located within the flood plain and thus will be required to register a flood plain covenant at the Building permit stage. The proposed building is a concrete tilt-up structure with some steel and glass façade and stone veneer cladding along the base of each unit entrances. The proposed building is approximately 1176.80 m2 (12,667 ft2) in area and 8.61 metres in height. A future partial mezanine floor may be added if the tenants request. The loading doors for each unit and all the parking is proposed o n the south of the proposed structure, with vehicular access into the parking area from Kingston Street. It is anticipated to be a multi-tenanted building with six industrial units, 22 parking stalls and six loading bays. Garbage and recycling is proposed in the south-east corner of the site, enclosed by a post and rail fence. Proposed landscaping includes some trees facing Kingston street and 113B Avenue bordered by a decorative allan block retaining wall, sodded boulavard, permeable concrete pavers on the amenity patio, concrete walkway, concrete picnic table and bike racks for visitors. Preliminary Stormwater Management Plan proposes installing a stormtech under the parking area and rock pit filtration system. c) Planning Analysis: The purpose of the Industrial Development Permit is to promote quality Industrial development through attractive design that is compatible with adjacent development and conforms to the Official Community Plan guidelines. Applications for Development Permits are assessed against the following Key Design concepts, as follows: 1. Provide a street presence with entrances and architectural interest in building designs fronting public streets. Proposed landscaping fronting 113B Avenue and Kingston Street is an effort to provide better street presence and soften the hard surfaces of the structure. The façade facing 113B Avenue is staggered to avoid monotony and present a well articulated streetscape (Appendix C). Pedestrian connectivity is - 3 - enhanced from both the streets by walkways and to the parking/garbage enclosure with a concrete paver walkway along the eastern property boundary. Concrete sidewalk access from 115A Avenue has been proposed for pedestrians. The proposed materials include: concrete tilt up, glass and steel panels for the façade with stone veneer cladding at prominent areas (Appendix C). 2. Loading facilities should be located away from public streets and into the rear or the interior of a site. The proposed loading doors for each unit face south as shown on the Site Plan, away from the 113A Avenue (Appendix B) and the public realms. 3. Outdoor storage and less attractive structures such as accessory buildings should be screened with fencing or landscape. All their storage areas are located inside the units as this is anticipated to be multi-tenanted. There are no accessory buildings proposed. The garbage enclosure is fenced as shown on the landscaping plan (Appendix D). 4. The transportation needs of diverse users should be accommodated through amenities such as bicycle facilities and accessible design for the mobility impaired. This building is anticipated to be multi-tenanted after construction, so the owner has proposed 22 parking stalls instead of the required 19 stalls. A handicapped parking spot is also provided as shown on the Site Plan (Appendix B). A bicycle rack is proposed facing Kingston Street close to the secondary building entrance. 5. The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features, materials, proportions and building articulation. Most buildings in the vicinity were built prior to the current Official Community Plan industrial guidelines adopted in 2006. This building proposes an attractive, well articulated building façade along both the street frontages. Proposed mezzanine floor glazing fenestrations are complementary to the raised parapet detailing and steel roof canopies, while the steel and glass entrance canopies maintain a functional continuity. Stone cladding on bases of the unit front facades adds to the entry statement. (Appendix C). Zoning Bylaw: The subject site is zoned M-3 (Business park). The project is in compliance with the maximum permitted lot coverage, height and parking required for this zone. The applicant is seeking some setback variances to the building facades facing both 113B Avenue and Kingston Street and canopies facing 113b Avenue as described below. - 4 - d) Variances to the Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is seeking the following variances: i) Part 8, Section 803(6) (a) of the M-3 zone (Business Park) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the front yard setback (facing 113B Avenue) from 6.0 metres to 5.0 metres; ii) Part 8, Section 803(6) (d) of the M-3 zone (Business Park) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing Kingston Street) from 4.5 metres to 4.29 metres; iii) Part 4, Section 403 (4)(b)(1) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the siting of the front yard canopies (facing 113B Avenue) from 4.75 metres to 3.63 metres; iv) Part 4, Section 403 (4)(b)(1) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the siting of the exterior side yard canopies (facing Kingston Street) from 3.25 metres to 2.92 metres. The setback variances proposed for the building façade facing 113B Avenue and Kingston Street are minor in nature and with an intention of offering a better street presence by staggering the units and enhancing the urban streetscape. The canopies are proposed only above the entrance doors to provide weather protection for each unit and not along the full horizontal length of the facades. These variances are not anticipated to negatively impact any neigbours. e) Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: As per the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, warehouse use in the M-3 (Business Park) zone requires 1 parking space per 93 m2 gross floor area for Industrial use giving a total of 19 parking spaces required. The applicant has proposed 22 parking spaces and six loading bays with an intention of providing adequate number of spaces per unit for a multi-tenanted facility like this. Each parking stall proposed is 2.5 metres X 5.5 metres and the six loading bays proposed are 2.68 metres X 9.5 metres in size. f) Advisory Design Panel: On April 10, 2012 the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposed development and recommended the the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and submitted to Planning staff for follow up:  Consider a pedestrian access from Kingston Street to the side entrance;  Consider adding a dedicated pathway on the east side that connects to the waste and recycling enclosure;  Consider expanding or increasing the planting around the property line to formalize the layout and provide a green edge or step the landscaping with the sidewalk;  Coordinate the street tree locations with the hydro pole boxes;  Consider continuation of the stone treatment on the north elevation;  Provide detail for the building exterior lighting plans;  Consider a planting screen or hand rail around the amenity area. The applicant has revised the project plans to accommodate these changes. - 5 - g) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department have reviewed the proposal and confirmed that all the off-site services exist in this area. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The applicant has ensured that all these will be addressed through the Building Permit drawings. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the Development Permit is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant. The applicant has ensured that all these will be addressed through the Building Permit drawings to comply with the code requirements. h) Citizen/Customer Implications: The mail-outs to inform residents of the proposed variances were mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date (i.e. May 22, 2012). Concerned residents in the neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions. i) Financial Implications: In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision o f landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on a cost-estimate provided by the Landscape Architect, the security will be $ 16,245.00 payable prior to the issuance of a Development Permit. j) Alternatives: As per Section 8.6 of the Official Community Plan, an Industrial Development Permit is required for all new industrial development within the urban area on lands designated “Industrial” on Schedule B of the Official Community Plan. The subject site, designated “Industrial” on Schedule B, prior to a Building Permit application, requires Council approval of an Industrial Development Permit. This is a zoned site. Not approving this proposal would result in a piece of zoned land remaining vacant within the District’s Industrial Park. - 6 - CONCLUSION: The proposed Industrial building follows the OCP’s Industrial design guidelines and will provide new employment opportunities for the community. The proposed setback variances are minor in nature and not anticipated to negatively impact any neighbours. Therefore it is recommended that 2012- 019-DP and 2012-019-VP be approved for issuance. _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Charles R.

One such area is the required safety upgrades on municipal bridges. The provision of funding through the Infrastructure Sustainability Fund has allowed for systematic planning and scheduling for much needed repairs and upgrades. On a three year rotating basis, the District of Maple Ridge undertakes a structural and safety inspection of its bridges. This work is carried out by qualified professional structural engineers.As part of the 2011 inspection the consultant firm of MMM Group Ltd inspected and assessed the condition of bridge barriers. The barriers were assessed for conformance with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC).The assessment identified that several bridge traffic barriers and railing structures required replacement to meet current safety standards. Tenders for the work were received in April 2012. A detailed analysis and evaluation of these tenders concluded that Coquitlam Ridge Contracting Limited is the preferred tenderer. RECOMMENDATION: That the Bridge Barrier and Railing Replacement Contract be awarded to Coquitlam Ridge Contracting Limited in the amount of $217,452.03 including $23,298.43 HST and further that additional work may be added under extra work provisions in the contract up to 25% of the value of the Contract ($54,363 including HST). DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: On a three year rotating basis, the District of Maple Ridge undertakes a structural and safety inspection of its bridges. This work is carried out by qualified professional structural engineers. As part of the 2011 inspection the consultant firm of MMM Group Ltd inspected and assessed the condition of bridge barriers. The barriers were assessed for conformance with the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC). The assessment identified that 1113 several bridge traffic barriers and railing structures required replacement to meet current safety standards. Each barrier system has been assessed on structural capacity and geometrical criteria. Structural capacities were evaluated for main structural components including rails, posts and post connection details. As part of MMM Group’s assessment, recommendations were made to upgrade bridge barriers. Following detailed design,tenders were issued for three bridges. A public Invitation for Tender closed April 25, 2012 and five tenders were received. MMM Group Ltd has provided design recommendations and will provide inspection and professional services during the installation work. They have reviewed the submission and the contractor’s qualifications.Following a detailed assessment of the submissions it is found that Coquitlam Ridge Contracting Limited provides best value to the District of Maple Ridge. b)Planned Locations: Three bridges are recommended for upgrades in 2012. Kanaka Creek Bridge at 112th Avenue and 240th Street was built in 1958.The existing bridge barrier on this structure comprises of timber posts and rails, side mounted to the superstructure. The post connection, posts and rails are considered to have insufficient capacity for the impact load. The existing timber members exhibit considerable rotting. Overall, this bridge barrier system is considered to have unacceptable in-service performance and retrofit is recommended with high priority due to the current condition of the barrier and severity under failure. Coho Creek Bridge at 228th Street and 125B Avenue was constructed in 1982. The existing bridge barrier on this structure comprises of timber post and rails, side mounted on timber stringers. The post connection, posts and rails are considered to have insufficient capacity for the impact load. Millionaire Creek on Fern Crescent at 129 Avenue was constructed in 1975.The existing bridge barrier on this structure comprises of timber posts and rails, side mounted on timber stringers. The post connection, posts and rails are con sidered to have insufficient capacity for the impact load.This bridge barrier system is considered to have unacceptable in-service performance. c)Financial Implications: Council’s commitment to infrastructure renewal and replacement is manifesting in the District’s ability to develop required renewal and replacement programs. One such area is the required safety upgrades on municipal bridges. The provision of funding through the Infrastructure Sustainability Fund has allowed for systematic planning and scheduling.

Developing this concept plan has involved the participation of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley Regional District, the Province, First Nations,Federal agencies,several municipalities along the Fraser River corridor, non-government organizations and special interest groups to develop the ETF concept plan. As municipalities located on this trail network the City of Pitt Meadows, and the District of Maple Ridge have been participating in the ETF project through Parks and Leisure Services for the past two years. The concept plan has now been endorsed by Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley Regional Districts who were the lead agencies on this project. Municipalities who have been participating in the ETF project are now being approached with three recommendations to consider as the project moves past the concept to the implementation stage. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Council: 1.Endorse the Experience the Fraser Concept as a regionally important and beneficial initiative that warrants broad participation; 2.Commit to integrating the Experience the Fraser Concept into municipal plans and actions wherever feasible; and 3.Agree to the continued appointment of a municipal liaison to the Experience the Fraser program and participation in an annual information sharing workshop to celebrate Experience the Fraser and track implementation progress. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: In developing the concept plan a network of 550 km of trails (the Vision Route)would be required to achieve the goal of connecting Hope to the Salish Sea. An inventory of existing trails along the Vision Route indicates that 43% of this trail network already exists. These trails connect with existing recreational opportunities along the route which is one of the goals of ETF, to link and inspire experiences along the Fraser River.The Vision Route is a long term objective 1151 to be implemented over decades. The intent of this route was to follow and feature the Fraser River as closely as possible: however the long-term route will be aligned to harmonize with working river industrial activities, sensitive natural features, private land,and First Nation land interests. Most times it will mean going around these features, but creative ways of integrating the Trail into such landscapes and uses can produce the richest experiences. The preferred alignment also reflects the original partnership between the Province, the Fraser Valley Regional District and Metro Vancouver, therefore reflecting the desire to connect provincial and regional parks and facilities and to include sufficient amenities to facilitate multi day travel (e.g. camping). It was also an objective to advance the Trans Canada Trail alignment through the Lower Fraser River Corridor. In the shorter term, a proposed Interim Route would utilize existing trails and roads allowing users to travel from end to end in the short term.This alignment is subject to agreement and participation by the agencies, organizations and local governments along the route. There are over 300 Amenity and Feature Points identified as locations to “experience” the river be it through infrastructure and/or programs along this route. A Foundational Program of 60 actions and projects, which is a subset of these 300 points, illustrates some project priorities that are deemed essential to build identity for ETF and offer a strong pres ence of the project on the ground.It is a recommended set of priority actions and is intended to have the flexibility to be guided by the various partners choosing to participate in delivery. As funding is secured, the program can advance. However, if resources or priorities change, the Foundational Program can adapt and projects offering a similar impact in advancing the program may be substituted. One of these program priorities for the City of Pitt Meadows is to provide a link from the trail network west of the Golden Ears Bridge with Maple Ridge through to the Port Hammond neighbourhood. Although this is identified as a program priority for the City of Pitt Meadows, there will likely be the need to consider providing a trail in Maple Ridge to connect at the municipal boundary with Pitt Meadows. Staff in Parks and the Planning Department will continue to look for opportunities to complete this trail section as a condition of any land development applications that may be considered in this area of the two communities. Nodes are destinations along the Trail or locations where people can come to the project to “Experience the Fraser” without having to travel the trail. They are characterized as having a cluster of amenities, features and experiences close together, are in a location where there is an existing or planned population density or community, are intersecting with the trail, and are providing an access point and amenities for the Blueway.The Blueway by definition is the river and includes the supporting infrastructure that facilitates water access to the river such as launching sites, signage, day use facilities, piers, viewpoints and camping opportunities. A desired Foundational Program project is also identified for the Port Haney Wharf. Th e wharf is a Blueway amenity that forms the focus for the Port Haney Node and could provide the space to support an information kiosk. The Foundational Program identified eighteen locations along the river where kiosks will act as a point of introduction,information and orientation to the Trail in existing nodes where the Interim Route and the Vision Route coincide. The Concept Plan was developed through an assessment of the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Park and Recreation Master Plan and the Official Community Plans of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. As a result the Concept Plan for the Maple Ridge section identifies actions that are already identified in current municipal plans, and will be funded by the appropriate capital or operating budgets.Any projects not previously identified in the Park and Recreation Master Plan, would be submitted to Council for approval of funding in subsequent capital budgets. CONCLUSIONS: The endorsement of the Experience the Fraser concept will demonstrate the commitment of the District of Maple Ridge in supporting the ETF goal of achieving a continuous trail from Hope to the Salish Sea. _______________________________________________ Prepared by:Bruce McLeod, MBCSLA, Manager of Parks Planning & Development _______________________________________________ Approved by:Dave Boag, Director of Parks & Facilities _______________________________________________ Approved by:Kelly Swift, General Manager, Community Development Parks and Recreation Services _______________________________________________ Concurrence:J.L.
