B. The District wishes to provide a range of housing options within its jurisdiction. C. The Covenantor and the District wish to enter into this Agreement to restrict the use of housing units to be constructed on the Lands, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to have effect as both a covenant under section 219 of the Land Title Act and a housing agreement under section 905 of the Local Government Act. D. The District has adopted a bylaw under Section 905 of the Local Government Act to authorize this Agreement as a housing agreement. - 2 - NOW THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and the covenants herein contained, the payment of the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) paid by the District to the Covenantor, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree, pursuant to section 905 of the Local Government Act and section 219 of the Land Title Act (British Columbia) as follows: Definitions 1.

The said lands shall not be Subdivided, except by means of a strata plan under the Strata Property Act that includes all of the Dwelling Units within a single strata lot. Specific Performance 6. The Covenantor agrees that because of the public interest in ensuring that all of the matters described in this Agreement are complied with, the public interest strongly favours the award of a prohibitory or mandatory injunction, or an order for specific performance or other specific relief, by the Supreme Court of British Columbia at the instance of the District, in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Waiver 9. An alleged waiver of any breach of this Agreement is effective only if it is an express waiver in writing of the breach.

In this Agreement: (a) reference to the singular includes a reference to the plural, and vice versa, unless the context requires otherwise; (b) reference to a particular numbered section or article, or to a particular lettered Schedule, is a reference to the correspondingly numbered or lettered article, section or Schedule of this Agreement; (c) article and section headings have been inserted for ease of reference only and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement; (d) the word “enactment” has the meaning given to it in the Interpretation Act (British Columbia) on the reference date of this Agreement; (e) reference to any enactment is a reference to that enactment as consolidated, revised, amended, re-enacted or replace, unless otherwise expressly provided; (f) reference to “party” or the “parties” is a reference to a party, or the parties, to this Agreement and their respective successors, assigns, trustees, administrators and receivers; (g) time is of the essence; and (h) reference to a “day”, “month” or “year” is a reference to a calendar day, calendar month, or calendar year unless otherwise expressly provided. Further Acts 11. The Covenantor will do everything reasonably necessary to give effect to the intent of this Agreement, including execution of further instruments. Severance 12. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by a court having the jurisdiction to do so, that part is to be considered to have been severed from the rest of this Agreement and the rest of this Agreement remains in force unaffected by that holding or by the severance of that part. No Other Agreements - 5 - 13. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties regarding its subject and it terminates and supersedes all other agreements and arrangements regarding its subject. Enurement 14.

This application is to rezone the subject properties (Appendix A) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) zone and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone, to permit the construction of a Commercial/Mixed Use building and 167 townhouses. A site specific text amendment accompanies the rezoning application to allow apartment as a permitted principle use on condition that all of the proposed 16 residential units remain as rental housing. Therefore, a condition of Final Reading is the registration of a Housing Agreement for rental units. A Housing Agreement Bylaw must be approved by Council under the authority of Section 905 of the Local Government Act, R.S.B.C 1996, c. 323, to authorize this Agreement. On November 27, 2012, Council gave three readings to the Housing Agreement Bylaw No. 6954-2012. Council will be considering this bylaw for the Final Reading at the December 11, 2012 Council meeting along with the Development Permit and Variance Permit reports (DP and VP/045/09 and DP and VP/046/09) to support this development. This application requires an Official Community Plan amendment to Schedule “B” and “C” to change the commercial designation and to define the conservation boundary of Rainbow Creek. RECOMMENDATION: That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6684-2009 be adopted; and That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6685-2009 be adopted; and That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6696-2009 be adopted. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on December 15, 2009. On December 15, 2009 Council granted Third Reading to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan 1004 - 2 - Amending Bylaw No. 6684-2009 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6685-2009 with the stipulation that the following conditions be addressed: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of security as outlined in the Agreement; ii. Amendment to Schedule “B” & “C” of the Official Community Plan; iii. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; iv. Registration of a “Housing Agreement” stating that the apartment units above the commercial building will be restricted to residential rental units; v. Registration of a Restrictive Covenant protecting the parking dedicated to the residential rental units; vi. Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the habitat protection areas outside the dedicated park area; vii. A Statutory right of way plan and agreement for municipal services must be registered at the Land Title Office; viii. A Statutory right of way plan and agreement for the multi-purpose trial on strata property must be registered at the Land Title Office; ix. Road dedication as required; x. Park dedication as required; xi. Consolidation of the development site; xii. Removal of the existing buildings; xiii. Registration of a Restrictive Covenant protecting the Visitor parking on the townhouse strata lot. The following applies to the above: Items i, iii, iv, v, vi, viii, ix, x, xi and xiii will be executed as per the Letter of Undertaking from the developer’s lawyer, Buckley Hogan Law Office. Item vii above is no longer required as per confirmation from the Engineering Department. Item ii above will be completed after Council approval. Item xii above has been completed as the properties are vacant. b) Additional Information: Due to changes in the market conditions, Council granted two extensions to this application in December 2010 and 2011. This development is proposed in four phases and the developer feels positive about the market. This development is anticipated to implement off-site upgrades fronting 240th Street and 112th Avenue as well as the traffic signal upgrades. It is anticipated that approval of this proposal will trigger proceeding of some other proposals in the vicinity waiting for this to happen. It is also the first Housing Agreement project to ensure quality rental options for our citizens. - 3 - CONCLUSION: As the applicant has met Council’s conditions, it is recommended that Final Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6684-2009 and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6685-2009. “Original signed by Rasika Acharya” __ Prepared by: Rasika Acharya, B-Arch, M-Tech, UDC, LEED® AP, MCIP, RPP Planner “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” ______________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by J.L.

Dueck, Acting Mayor Presiding Member of the Committee District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: December 03, 2012 and Members of Council FILE NO: DP & DVP/045/09 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Development Permit and Development Variance Permit 11213 and 11247 240 Street - Mixed Use Commercial Rental Building EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Development Permit and Development Variance Permit applications have been received for the above noted properties to permit the construction of a mixed use building with retail commercial units on ground floor and rental housing units above. The development site will be subject to Commercial Development Permit Guidelines to address the form and character of the development as described in this report. This proposal is part of the overall re-development of five legal lots in the north-west corner of 240th Street and 112th Avenue. A separate Development Permit and Development Variance Permit report has been prepared for convenience: one accompanying report detailing the 167 townhouse portion of the site and this report detailing the mixed-use commercial/rental (residential) portion of the project On December 15, 2009, Council granted Third Reading to a zoning amendment bylaw for both (file RZ/044/09) components of this project. Council also granted two extensions to the applicant in December 2010 and 2011. It is anticipated that the Final Reading report will be considered by Council at the December 11, 2012 Council meeting along with this report. This report discusses the form and character of the mixed-use building with main floor retail commercial units and rental housing units above. Some setback and height variances are being sought as described in this report. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/045/09 respecting property located at 11213 and 11247 240 Street; and further That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/045/09 respecting property located at 11213 and 11247 240 Street. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Brian Shigetomi of Atelier Pacific Arch. Inc Owner: Gold Leaf Enterprises Ltd 1101 - 2 - Legal Description: Lot: 5, Section: 16, TP: 12, NWD Plan: 26163; PID: 002-328-569; and Lot: 6, Section: 16, TP: 12, MWD Plan: 26163; PID: 008-272-123 OCP: Existing: Neighbourhood Commercial and Conservation Proposed: Neighbourhood Commercial and Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: 74% Commercial and 26% Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential and 112th Avenue Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Commercial, Residential & Conservation East: Use: Single Family Residential and 240th Street Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and CD-1- 93 (Comprehensive Development) Designation: Low and Medium Density Residential & Conservation West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-1b (One Family Urban Residential- Medium Density) Designation: Park and Conservation (Future Fire Hall). Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Retail commercial with residential rental apartment units above. Site Area: 1.18 acres Access: 240th Street and 112th Avenue Servicing: Full Urban Companion Applications: RZ/044/09; SD/044/09; DP/044/09 (WPDP); DP/046/09 (townhouses) and VP/046/09 (townhouses). b) Site and Project Description: The subject site (Appendix A) consists of 5 legal lots that are being consolidated and subdivided to separate the two land uses proposed. In general, the topography of the site slopes from north to south with a slight plateau at the northeast corner. Rainbow Creek, a tributary of Kanaka Creek, flows westerly towards the Fraser River. Site slopes are generally mild except for the western fringe near the creek. Slopes ranging from 20-35% along the western boundary along the Rainbow Creek - 3 - are being protected through dedication. The west side of the site also contains relatively dense deciduous and coniferous trees within the streamside setback area that will be protected through park dedication. This proposal will also facilitate the development of a multi-purpose trail that promises to be a good pedestrian north-south linkage for this neighbourhood. The project consists of two components: A mixed use commercial building with 16 residential rental units on the upper floor in the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) zone and a phased strata development of 167 townhouse units in the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone. The total proposed commercial lot area is 1.18 acres which is 7.97% of the total consolidated gross lot area. The total proposed townhouse lot area is 9.28 acres, which is 62.7% of the total consolidated gross lot area. The environmentally sensitive area of 3.96 acres (26.76% of the total consolidated gross lot area) around Rainbow Creek, along the western boundaries, is being protected via dedication to the District as “park” for conservation purpose. The proposed site plan (Appendix B) shows two vehicular accesses to the mixed-use building site; one from 112th Avenue and the other from 240th Street. To enhance the overall pedestrian connectivity to the subject site, five pedestrian accesses, two from 112th Avenue, two from 240th Street and one from the proposed townhouse development on the north of this building are proposed along with special gateway entrance statements. The proposed mixed-use development accommodates 11 retail-commercial units (of varying sizes from 660 ft2 to 1360 ft2) on the main floor facing both 240th Street and 112th Avenue. Commercial and residential parking is proposed behind the building. On the upper floor, 16 rental apartment units each with one or two bedrooms (varying sizes between 460 ft2 to 860 ft2 each) have been proposed, along with common amenity room for all residents. All the commercial retail units have a separate direct access from the covered breezeway (Appendix B). Parking for both the uses is within the same parking lot but rental unit parking is clearly marked on site and secured through a restrictive covenant to ensure it is devoted to these residents. The proposed multi-purpose trail along the western property line will enhance pedestrian connectivity from 112th Avenue to 240th, and serve as community asset to this entire area. c) Planning Analysis: In the Official Community Plan, 240th Street is identified as a major corridor. The Official Community Plan supports a variety of housing forms and encourages mixed-use developments where appropriate. Policy 3-20 states that “Major Corridor Residential” developments must be designed to be compatible with the surrounding area; be a maximum of 2.1/2 stories with an emphasis on ground-oriented units (except for apartments); and adhere to the applicable Development Permit Guidelines. The proposed form and character of the mixed-use building is subject to the following Key Guideline concepts of Commercial Development Permit Guidelines: 1. Avoid conflicts with adjacent uses through sound attenuation, appropriate lighting, landscaping, traffic calming and the transition of building massing to fit with adjacent development. Landscape buffering along with appropriate lighting between the uses has been proposed to improve sound attenuation (Appendix E). The offsite upgrades including sidewalk, curb, gutter, street trees and improved street lights are meant to serve as traffic calming measures and enhance pedestrian - 4 - connectivity. The proposed height of 11.0 metres fits well with the massing of the townhouse units on the west and north of this building. 2. Encourage a pedestrian scale through providing outdoor amenities, minimizing the visual impact of parking areas, creating landmarks and visual interest along street fronts. The proposed site plan (Appendix B) shows two vehicular accesses to the mixed-use building site; one from 112th Avenue and the other from 240th Street. In addition to these five pedestrian accesses, two from 112th Avenue, two from 240th Street and one from the proposed townhouse development on the north of this building are proposed to enhance the overall pedestrian connectivity. The corner retail unit 107 has been chamfered and designed such that it could easily accommodate a corner café with outdoor seating that can serve as a local land mark for the residents. The required parking for both, the retail commercial uses and the rental units above is proposed behind the building to reduce the visual impact of parking (Appendix B). The proposed covered breezeway, stone veneer cladding on column bases and the entrance archway, decorative paving at the site access points, covered concrete walkway serving the retail units and the landscaping and signage facing 240th Street and 112th Avenue, are all efforts to create an inviting pedestrian scale and streetscape that enhancea visual interest from both the streets. 3. Promote sustainable development with multimodal transportation circulation, and low impact building design. The offsite upgrades including sidewalk, curb, gutter, street trees and street lights (LED) are anticipated to contribute towards enhancing both the vehicular and pedestrian circulation in the area. Pedestrian connectivity is also enhanced through the walkway connection from the proposed townhouse site on the north of this building. The proposed multi-purpose trail along the western property line will enhance pedestrian connectivity from 112th Avenue to 240th, and serve as community asset to this entire area. 4. Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential areas. The proposed covered breezeway and two staircase wells between units 101, 102 and units 110, 111 serve as separate entry points for the rental residential units above (Appendix B). All the commercial retail units have a separate direct access from the covered breezeway and two staircase wells. Separate site access is proposed to the townhouse lot on the north of this building. Adequate landscape buffering has been proposed to respect private areas of the adjacent townhouse strata lot. 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. The proposed building materials such as painted hardie-board siding, stone veneer cladding, painted wood brackets and fascia, aluminum louvers, vinyl shingle siding, pre-finished vinyl louvers and asphalt shingle roofing, reflect the existing architectural style and desired character within the vicinity. The townhouse units proposed on the west and north of this building are complimentary in form and character to this mixed-use building. - 5 - Zoning Bylaw: The proposed C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial zone) is intended to provide for small scale retailing and commodities of a convenience nature and related uses for household or personal needs within urban residential neighbouhoods. The proposed zone allows one family residential use only, however, the 16 rental residential units proposed on the upper floor have been negotiated with the developer to create quality rental housing options for an area that has had none in the past. A Housing Agreement along with a Restrictive Covenant for these units will ensure that they remain rental in perpetuity. Council has given Third Reading to a site-specific text amendment to the proposed zone, to allow the 16 rental units as a principal use not exceeding a gross floor area of 2100 m2 in this building. This site-specific text amendment also restricts the ground floor commercial uses to a gross floor area of 960 m 2 . The Final Reading report is anticipated to be considered by Council along with this report at the Decemeber 11, 2012 Council meeting. The proposed zone requires the front and exterior side yard setbacks to be 7.5 meters; the rear setback to be 6.0 meters and the interior side yard setback to be 3.0 meters from the property line. Some front, exterior side yard setback and building height variances to the C-1 zone (Neighborhood Commercial) are being requested as stated below. d) Variances to the Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is seeking the following variances: i) Part 7, Section 701(7) (a) of the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial zone) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the front yard setback (facing 112th Avenue) from 7.5 metres to 4.5 metres; ii) Part 7, Section 701(7) (d) of the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial zone) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) from 7.5 metres to 4.5 metres; iii) Part 7, Section 701(6) of the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial zone) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the maximum height of the building from 7.5 metres to 11.0 metres to accommodate the rental units. The setback variances proposed facing 240th Street and 112th Avenue are with an intention of offering a better street presence for the units and enhancing the urban streetscape. They are not anticipated to negatively impact any neigbours. The height variance is related to the site-specific text amendment to support 16 rental residential units as the principal use in the proposed zone. These cannot be achieved within the permitted 7.5 metres height and require a minimum of 11.0 metres height to enhance the livability of these rental units. This height is complimentary to the proposed height of the townhouses on the west and north of this building. Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: As per the Maple Ridge Off-street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990, the C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial zone) requires one parking space per 30m2 of the gross floor area of the commercial component. Based on this ratio, the required 32 spaces for the commercial use have been proposed at grade behind the building (Appendix B). The parking requirement for the rental apartment use permitted in the proposed zone through a site-specific text amendment, is comparable to a ratio of 1.0 space per unit as required in the C-2 (Community Commercial zone), along with 0.2 space per unit visitor parking, giving a total - 6 - required 28 spaces (24 for residents and 4 for visitors). The proposal shows a total of 32 spaces proposed which exceed the required in the proposed zone. Since all the parking spaces (for the retail commercial and rental units) are proposed at grade, behind the building, a Restrictive Covenant to secure the parking spaces devoted to the rental residents is being registered on title, as a condition of Final Reading. e) Advisory Design Panel: On September 8, 2009 the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposal and commended the applicant for its extremely high quality presentation, completeness and quality of materials proposed. The panel recommended that the following concerns be addressed by the applicant as the design develops and submit to planning staff:  Address boardwalk safety issues in relation to slipping on rain snow and ice;  Consider continuity of pedestrian parkways from the residential areas to the commercial area;  Consider the façade detailing to ensure materials return at corners and terminate purposefully;  Consider how access is provided to private rear yards for maintenance and improvements;  Encourage the development of interpretive signage in public areas and recommendations’ for strata bylaw guidelines. The above listed resolution items refer to both the components (mixed-use building and townhouses) of the proposal. The project architect has addressed these issues to the satisfaction of the panel. f) Interdepartmental Issues: 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. A refundable security of $2,963,980.00 and a non-refundable inspection fee of $203,156.00 has been paid by the owner/developer, for the anticipated off-site upgrades. 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. 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. - 7 - g) Citizen/Customer Implications: The mail-outs to inform residents of the proposed variances were mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date. Concerned residents in the neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions. h) Environmental Implications: The consolidated subject site supporting both the components (mixed-use and townhouse units) is impacted by Rainbow Creek that runs north-south along the western edges. Rainbow Creek is a tributary of Kanaka Creek, which flows westerly towards the Fraser River. The west side of the site also contains relatively dense deciduous and coniferous trees that are also being protected through dedication. The proposed development is within 50.0 metres of the top of bank of the Rainbow Creek, triggering a Watercourse Protection Development Permit approval. Through this permit substantial clean-up and enhancement works are anticipated along with a five-year maintenance period and securities to ensure that the proposed environmental works will be implemented. The environmentally sensitive area (3.96 acres or 26.76% of the total consolidated gross lot area) is being dedicated as “Park” for conservation purposes, as a condition of Final Reading of rezoning. A refundable security of $104,265.00 for the enhancement works including a five year maintenance period has been paid by the owner/developer. 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 of landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated landscape cost by Van Der Zalm Landscape Architects, dated February 23, 2012, the security of $177,911.84, has been paid by the owner/developer. There will be 9 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The costs associated with maintaining these trees i.e. $225.00, based on $25 per new tree, will need to be included in a subsequent operating budget. j) Alternatives: Council has given Third Reading to the rezoning application and will be reviewing the Final Reading Report for RZ/044/09 at the December 11, 2012 Council Meeting. The developer has paid all the required securities in support of the off- site servicing upgrades. The owner’s solicitor has submitted a “Letter of Undertaking” to execute all the legal documents in the Land Title Office. Not approving this proposal would result in the subject site remaining vacant. Council approval is required for the Commercial Development Permit Area as presented in this report prior to a Building Permit being issued. - 8 - CONCLUSION: The proposal is a pedestrian-friendly urban solution including dedicated park area, multi-purpose trail connection from 112th Avenue to 240th street, considerable off-site upgrades at this intersection and enhancement works proposed around the Rainbow Creek. Through the requirement of rental residential units in the mixed-use building, the proposal promises to add quality rental housing option for residents. The commercial retail units are anticipated to offer a variety of commercial uses for all the residents of this neighbourhood and the proposed building complies with the Commercial Development Permit Guidelines as described in this report. The proposed variances are not anticipated to negatively impact neighbouring lots. It is anticipated that the Final Reading report will be considered along with this Development Permit and Development Variance Permit report at the Council meeting of December 11, 2012. It is recommended that DP/045/09 and DVP/045/09 respecting property located at 11213 and 11247 240 Street, be approved. “original signed by Rasika Acharya” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Rasika Acharya, B-Arch, M-Tech, UDC, LEED® AP, MCIP, RPP Planner “original signed by Christine Carter” _____________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP Director of Planning “original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “original signed by J.L.

This development is proposed in four phases. The development site for proposed townhouse units will be subject to Multi-Family Development Permit Guidelines to address the form and character of the development as described in this report. This proposal is part of the overall re-development of five legal lots in the north-west corner of 240th Street and 112th Avenue at the western edge of the Urban Area boundary. Along with the proposed 167 townhouse units is a corner mixed use building with retail commercial units on ground floor and rental housing units above (DP/045/09). A separate Development Permit and Development Variance Permit report is being considered by Council for this mixed-use building, which is subject to a Commercial Development Permit approval. On December 15, 2009, Council granted Third Reading to the whole proposal (RZ/044/09) to support both the components of this project. Due to changes in the market conditions, Council also granted two extensions to the applicant in December 2010 and 2011. It is anticipated that the Final Reading report will be considered by Council at the December 11, 2012 Council meeting along with this report. This report discusses the form and character of the 167 townhouse units. Some setback and height variances are being sought as described in this report. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/04 6/09 respecting property located at 11213, 11247, 11263, 11299 and 11333 240 Street; and further That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DP/046/09 respecting property located at 11213, 11247, 11263, 11299 and 11333 240 Street.

In general, the topography of the site slopes from north to south with a slight plateau at the northeast corner. Rainbow Creek, a tributary of Kanaka Creek, flows westerly towards the Fraser River. The western boundary of the site along Rainbow Creek is riparian area and thus will be protected through dedication. This proposal will also facilitate the development of a multi-purpose trail that promises to be a good pedestrian north-south linkage for this neighbourhood. The proposal consists of 167 units on 9.28 acres, which is 62.7% of the total consolidated gross lot area. The environmentally sensitive area of 3.96 acres (26.76% of the total consolidated gross lot area) around Rainbow Creek is being protected via dedication to the District as “park” for conservation purpose. The proposed Site Plan (Appendix B) shows two vehicular accesses, one from 112th Avenue closer to the multi-purpose trail and one from 240th Street closer to the northern end of subject sites; two pedestrian accesses from 112th Avenue and two from 240th Street. The proposed development accommodates a strata complex of 2 ½ & 3 storey townhouses ranging in size from 140 sq. m. (1500 ft2 ) to 188 sq. m. (2030 ft2) in the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone. The units are arranged in clusters of two to six units with a direct at grade access and a garage off a strata road. Seven different designs of townhouse have been proposed (Appendix B). A combination of three color schemes has been proposed to create variation. The townhouse clusters have hipped roofs accented by gable dormers and are designed to front or have the appearance of fronting onto a public road through direct pedestrian access from the sidewalk. All the 167 units have their own parking garage, either tandem or two-car garage, giving a total of 334 residential parking spaces proposed as required. In addition to this, 40 visitor parking stalls are well distributed as shown on the Site Plan (33 spaces are required) and two handicapped parking spaces have also been proposed. The common useable space proposed is 8,250 m2 in two locations (Appendix E) and common activity area proposed is 4,900 m2 which exceeds the requirement in the proposed zone. Proposed building materials include: vinyl and shingle siding, cultured stone veneer at specific locations, stained & sealed wood posts, knee brackets, wrought iron brackets, stamped concrete patios, wood decks, stain wood fences and asphalt shingle roofing. Outdoor amenity areas as well as a system of linear parkettes/ greenways are inter-woven into the townhouse clusters providing alternative pedestrian connections throughout the site. Entry features at the perimeter and transition corner treatment are proposed to foster a “sense of place”. c) Planning Analysis: In the Official Community Plan, 240th Street is identified as a major corridor. The Official Community Plan supports a variety of housing forms and encourages mixed-use developments where appropriate. Policy 3-20 states that “Major Corridor Residential” developments must be designed to be compatible with the surrounding; be a maximum of 2 ½ storey with an emphasis on ground- oriented units (except for apartments) and adhere to the applicable Development Permit Guidelines. The proposed form and character of the townhouse units is subject to the following Key Guideline concepts of the Multi-Family Development Permit Guidelines: 1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate local neighborhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing. - 4 - The architectural elements, form and materials proposed such as cultured stone veneer, stained & sealed wood posts, knee and wrought iron brackets, stamped concrete patios, wood decks, stain wood fences, asphalt shingle roofing, vinyl and shingle siding, are compatible to the surrounding residential development in the area. 2. Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of low and high densities, through means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the periphery of a higher density developments. This area predominantly has single family residential use in the vicinity, so there are no higher density forms around. The proposed townhouse clusters have hipped roofs accented by gable dormers and are designed to front or have the appearance of fronting onto a public road through direct pedestrian access from the sidewalk. This ground-oriented housing form serves as a good transition to the surrounding single family development on the north, east and so uth. On the west is a significant environmental buffer due to lands that will be dedicated around the Rainbow Creek. 3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster a sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness. This is a fairly large scale development. The proposed 167 unit townhouse development is designed in 35 blocks (of 2 to 6 units each) which are inter-woven by pedestrian walkways and green landscaped areas to create public, private and semi-private recreational areas. Each unit has its own garage, which is either tandem or two car garage. Visual attractiveness is enhanced with native landscaping in green pockets throughout the site and decorative accent paving at intersections of the strata road (Appendix B). The common useable open space is divided into two areas to better serve all the units 4. Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface parking located to the rear of the property. Attractive streetscapes have been proposed with various blocks of townhouse units that a re linked with pedestrian walkways and semi-private open spaces. Pedestrian circulation is enhanced through out the site with walkways and from the units facing 240 th street and 112th Avenue which have a direct pedestrian access on to the streets. Each tow nhouse unit has its’ own tandem or two car garage accessed from the strata road. The visitor parking spaces are well distributed throughout the site (Appendix B). Adequate lighting and landscaping is proposed to create a well articulated streetscape. The proposed multi-purpose trail along the western property line will enhance pedestrian connectivity from 112th Avenue to 240th, and serve this entire area. Zoning Bylaw: The proposed RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) is intended for low to medium density townhouses and multi family residential buildings. A maximum density of 0.6 times the net lot area (plus an additional 50 m2 per unit basement area) is permitted in this zone. A density of 0.6 times the consolidated lot area (excluding parking and basement area of 50 m2 per unit) is proposed, giving a total of 22559.90 m2 for the 167 townhouse units proposed. The permitted maximum lot coverage for this zone is 40% of the net lot area and the proposed lot coverage is 28%. A common - 5 - activity area of 3500 m2 is proposed and a usable open space of 7520 m2 is proposed, which exceed the required ratios in the proposed zone. Some setback and height variances are being sought as described below. d) Variances to the Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is seeking the following variances: i) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the front yard setback (facing 112th Avenue) from 7.5 metres to 4.5 metres for Blocks 6,7 and 8; ii) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the front yard setback (facing 112th Avenue) for the staircase block of Block 8 from 7.5 metres to 3.5metres; iii) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 35 from 7.5metres to 4.9 metres; iv) Part 6, Section 602(6) (b) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the interior side yard setback for Blocks 21 from 6.0 metres to 5.1 metres on the north west corner and for Block 32 from 6.0 metres to 5.5 metres on the north-west corner; v) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 1 from 7.5 metres to 4.2 metres; vi) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 2 from 7.5 metres to 4.5 metres; vii) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 3 from 7.5 metres to 5.5 metres; viii) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 4 from 7.5 metres to 5.9 metres; ix) Part 6, Section 602(6) (a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the exterior side yard setback (facing 240th Street) for Block 5 from 7.5 metres to 6.8 metres; x) Part 6, Section 602(7)(a) of the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) of the Zoning Bylaw, to vary the maximum height from 10.5 metres to 11.0 metres and to vary 2 ½ stories to 3 stories for Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (all facing 240th street); Blocks 8, 13,14 (all facing the dedicated park area) and Blocks 10, 11 and 12 (north of Blocks 6 and 7). The setback variances proposed facing 240th Street and 112th Avenue are with an intention of offering a better street presence for the units and enhancing the urban streetscape. They are not anticipated to negatively impact any neigbours. There are currently no immediate neighbours to this site. These relaxations are consistent with others granted to similar projects in the proposed zone. For the blocks along the western property boundary, the environmental conservation lands serve as a good buffer. The height and storey variances are considered to be minor in nature and are not anticipated to negatively impact any neigbours. - 6 - Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: As per the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990, the RM-1 zone (Townhouse Residential District) requires two parking spaces per unit for residents plus 0.2 spaces per unit for visitors, requiring a total of 368 on-site parking spaces (334 spaces for residents and 33 for the visitors). All the 167 units have their own parking garage either in tandem or two-car garage arrangement. The visitor parking spaces are distributed throughout the site. The proposal is in compliance of this requirement as shown on the proposed site plan (Appendix B). e) Advisory Design Panel: On September 8, 2009 the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposal and commended the applicant for its extremely high quality presentation, completeness and quality of materials proposed. The panel recommended that the following concerns be addressed by the applicant as the design develops and submit to planning staff:  Address boardwalk safety issues in relation to slipping on rain snow and ice;  Consider continuity of pedestrian parkways from the residential areas to the commercial area;  Consider the façade detailing to ensure materials return at corners and terminate purposefully;  Consider how access is provided to private rear yards for maintenance and improvements;  Encourage the development of interpretive signage in public areas and recommendations’ for strata bylaw guidelines. The above listed resolution items refer to both the components (mixed-use building and townhouses) of the proposal. The project architect has addressed these issues to the satisfaction of the panel. f) Interdepartmental Issues: 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. A refundable security of $ 2,963,980.00 and a non-refundable inspection fee of $203,156.00 has been paid by the owner/developer, for the off-site upgrades. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the development is built 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. The proposed multi-purpose trail along the western park boundary is mostly within the dedicated area, except for two locations where it meanders into the strata lot. This multi-purpose pedestrian trail is meant for public use and will be built by the developer and maintained by the District, once completed, except for the portions that are on the strata lot. 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. - 7 - 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. g) Citizen/Customer Implications: The mail-outs to inform residents of the proposed variances were mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date. Concerned residents in the neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions. h) Environmental Implications: The site is impacted by Rainbow Creek that runs north-south along the western edges. Rainbow Creek is a tributary of Kanaka Creek, which flows westerly towards the Fraser River. The west side of the site also contains relatively dense deciduous and coniferous trees that are also being protected through dedication. The proposed development is within 50.0 metres of the top of bank of the Rainbow Creek, triggering a Watercourse Protection Development Permit approval. Through this permit substantial clean-up and enhancement works are anticipated along with a five-year maintenance period and securities to ensure that the proposed environmental works will be implemented. The environmentally sensitive area (3.96 acres or 26.76% of the total consolidated gross lot area) is being dedicated as “Park” for conservation purposes, as a condition of Final Reading of rezoning. A refundable security of $104,265.00 for the enhancement works including a five year maintenance period has been paid by the owner/developer. 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 of landscaping in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated landscape cost by Van Der Zalm Landscape Architects, dated February 23, 2012, the refundable security of $1,082,264.82 has been paid by the owner/developer. There will be roughly 24 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. j) Alternatives: Council has given Third Reading to the rezoning application and will be reviewing the Final Reading Report for RZ/044/09 at the December 11, 2012 Council Meeting. The developer has paid all the required securities in support of the off- site servicing upgrades. The owner’s solicitor has submitted a “Letter of Undertaking” to execute all the legal documents in the Land Title Office. Not approving this proposal would result in the subject site remaining vacant. Council approval is required for the Commercial Development Permit Area as presented in this report prior to a Building Permit being issued. - 8 - CONCLUSION: The proposal is a pedestrian-friendly urban solution including dedicated park area, multi-purpose trail connection from 112th Avenue to 240th street, considerable off-site upgrades at this intersection and enhancement works proposed around the Rainbow Creek. The proposed townhouses comply with the Multi-Family Development Permit Guidelines as described in this report. The proposed variances are not anticipated to negatively impact neighbours. It is anticipated that the Final Reading report will be considered along with this Development Permit and Development Variance Permit report at the Council meeting of December 11, 2012. It is recommended that DP/046/09 and DVP/046/09 respecting property located at 11213, 11247, 11263, 11299 and 11333 240 Street, be approved. “original signed by Rasika Acharya”_______________ Prepared by: Rasika Acharya, B-Arch, M-Tech, UDC, LEED® AP, MCIP, RPP Planner “original signed by Christine Carter”_________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “original signed by Frank Quinn”____________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “original signed by J.L.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP/091/10 respecting properties located at 24371 112 Avenue and 24417 112 Avenue. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Damax Consultants Ltd (Dave Laird) Owner: CIPE Homes Inc. Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 15, Township 12, Plan 7709 Lot A, Section 15, Township 12, Plan 22387; and OCP: Existing: Low/Medium Density Residential Proposed: Low/Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: R-1 (Residential District) RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Agricultural South: Use: 112 Avenue, beyond which is Single Family Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential, Conservation 1103 - 2 - East: Use: Single Family Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential, Conservation West: Use: Single Family Rural Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential, Conservation Existing Use of Property: Single Family Rural Residential, Agricultural Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Urban Residential Site Area: 3.76 Hectares (9.29 Acres) Access: 112 Avenue Servicing requirement: Urban Requested Variance: To vary the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw maximum height requirement from 9.0 metres to 11.0 metres for the R-1 (Residential District) and from 9.5 metres to 11.0 metres the RS-1b One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential zoned lots. b) Project Description: The current prososal seeks to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (Urban Residential District) Zone and R-1 (Residential District) Zone to permit subdivision into 84 residential properties. Also proposed is an amendment to the Official Community Plan, which would permit insertion of the R-1 (Residential District) zone into the Albion Area Plan Zoning Matrix, under the Residential Low-Medium Density land use designation. c) Planning Analysis: The property is designated Low-Medium Density Residential in the Albion Area Plan. The proposed rezoning to R-1 (Residential District) zone is not currently permitted as the zone is not listed within the Zoning Matrix located in Section 10.2.7 of the Official Community Plan. In order to permit a rezoning to R-1 (Residential District) for this property, an amendment to the Official Community Plan is required. An Official Community Plan amendment is also required for conservation area boundary adjustments based on detailed ground truthing of the subject property. Schedule “A” of Section 10.2.1, Land Use Designations, Al bion Area Plan Map must be amended to re-designate a portion of the properties from “Low Medium Density Residential” to “Conservation”. Schedule “C” Natural Features must also be amended to add “Conservation”. The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. Such flexibility can allow an applicant to sensitively fit a project to a challenging site. - 3 - The applicant’s reasons for the requested height variance include:  The requested variance will enable the use of higher pitched roof lines which is appropriate in the style of architecture proposed for this subdivision;  The variance will eliminate the need to artificially manipulate the grades at the building corners; and  The R-1 and RS-1b lots will have a building height consistent with similar houses located within Albion Area Plan, which have a maximum building height variance to 11.0m. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: As this application is the first property in the area to be developed into an urban neighbourhood, the implications on the existing surrounding homes will be minimal. These homes have significant side- yard setbacks from the property lines thereby minimizing the overshadowing effect from the new homes. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed building height variance is consistent with building heights for most new development in the Albion Area Plan. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit DVP/091/10. “original signed by Ingrid Milne”________________ Prepared by: Ingrid Milne Planning Technician “original signed by Christine Carter”_________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “original signed by Frank Quinn”_____________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “original signed by J.L.

SUBJECT: Adjustments to 2012 Collector’s Roll EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: BC Assessment has revised the assessed value for the 2012 Collector’s Roll through the issuance of Supplementary Roll 09. The Collector is required to make all the necessary changes to the municipal tax roll records and reports these adjustments to Council. RECOMMENDATION(S): The report dated Dec. 03, 2012 is submitted for information. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Two folios were adjusted in total: The owner of a commercial strata property located in the Maple Ridge Industrial Park was reclassified from Class 6 (Business) to Class 5 (Light Industry) which had no effect on the municipal portion of taxes but afforded him the benefit of the Provincial Industrial Property Tax credit. The owners of a senior housing facility appealed their assessment and it was determined that rental revenues used to calculate building values were overstated. That, as well as a review of the condition of the buildings, resulted in a decrease of the assessed value of improvements. (Municipal tax revenue changes: Decrease in Class 1 (Residential) $11,265) b) Business Plan/Financial Implications: There is a total decrease of $ 11,265 in municipal tax revenue. 1131 CONCLUSIONS: Appeals of 2012 assessed values settled by the Property Assessment Appeal Board of British Columbia resulted in a decrease of $2,755,000 to the Residential assessment base. This report dated Dec. 03, 2012 is submitted for information and is available to the public. “Original signed by Silvia Rutledge”___________ Prepared by: Silvia Rutledge Manager, Revenue & Collections “Original signed by Paul Gill” ______________ Approved by: Paul Gill, B.B.A.; C.G.A.
