Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to individual

Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Site Area: 0.81 ha. (2 acres)
Access: Ansell Street and 124 Avenue
Servicing: Suburban Standard
2)Project Description:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property on 12420 Ansell Street from RS-3 (One Family
Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to allow for a two lot subdivision. The
applicant is proposing to maintain the existing home on the western lot (see Appendix A).
3)Planning Analysis:
i)Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Estate Suburban Residential in the OCP, located outside of the
City’s urban area boundary, but within the Region’s Urban Containment Boundary and the Fraser
Sewerage Area.
The land use designation permits a single detached housing form located outside of the urban area
boundary. As indicated in Appendix C of the OCP, the RS-2 (one Family Suburban Residential) zone
is permitted in the Estate Suburban Residential designation. Municipal water is required in this
- 3 -
zone; and properties in this designation may be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer, due to their
location in the Fraser Sewerage Area.
The surrounding neighbourhood context is comprised of properties also designated Estate Suburban
Residential. It is anticipated that the long term development of the area will be to a suburban level
and style of development, with overall densities of one dwelling unit per 0.4 ha (1 acre). The subject
application is therefore in compliance with the OCP.
ii)Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit future subdivision into two single
family lots (see Appendix B). The proposed development meets the minimum zoning requirements
for the RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone, which include: a minimum lot size of 0.4 ha (1
acre), a minimum width of 36 metres and a minimum depth of 60 metres (see Appendix C). A
variance for road carriage way and right-of-way width will be required as discussed below.
iii)Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application will be required to allow a reduced road width from the
required 7.0 metres for the existing roads; to 6.3 metres on Ansell Street and 6.0 metres on 124
Avenue. The road has adequate capacity to support the subdivision and all required services can fit
in the smaller right-of-way, and therefore supported by the Engineering Department, as the existing
road is adequate to accommodate traffic flows in the area.
4)Environmental Implications:
The Stormwater Management Plan shows a proposed infiltration pit and soil amendments on site. A
storm water covenant will be needed, together with a final sign off from the engineer of record that
topsoil amendments have been proposed to ensure the works have been completed to design
standards.
5)Agricultural Impact:
The property to the east is agricultural land. Letts Environmental Consultants prepared an
Agricultural Impact Assessment report on December 2, 2014, and a Tree Inventory report on January
28, 2015. There will be a 6m ALR buffer on the east side of the property, adjacent to the agricultural
land, as well as a 3m ALR buffer to the south side of the property. A restrictive covenant is required
to preserve the two ALR buffer areas.
The new lot will be serviced from Ansell Street, instead of 124 Avenue to maintain a rural servicing
level outside of the Urban Area Boundary for agricultural lands beyond.
6)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has reviewed the development plans and has determined that all off-
site services exist for the rezoning application requirements; therefore a Rezoning Servicing
Agreement is not required. All on-site servicing improvements will be necessary prior to subdivision
approval.

CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal is in compliance with the OCP and consistent with earlier development
patterns in the Academy Park area, it is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7115-2014, and that application 2014-091-RZ be forwarded to Public
Hearing.

SUBJECT: Second Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No.7037-2013
13260 236 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The proposal is to rezone the subject property (Appendix A) from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential), and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zones to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
zone.
At the September 24, 2013 meeting, Council reviewed a staff report recommending denial for this
application. At this meeting, Council resolved that staff prepare the bylaw amendments in support of
this development application, subject to the developer committing to build a sidewalk as an off-site
amenity for the neighbourhood, as a compensation for the higher density proposed.
At the December 10, 2013 meeting, Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No.
7037-2013. The developer (Portrait Homes) is seeking a site-specific zoning text amendment to
permit an increase in the total gross floor area (i.e. from permitted 0.6 FSR to 0.64 FSR) which
translates to 61 units or a density of 49.98 units per net hectare. Some setback and height
variances will be required to achieve this density. As a compensation for the increased gross floor
area, the developer is offering an amenity in the form of a new sidewalk located on the west side of
236 Street between 132nd Avenue and Fern Crescent (Appendix D). This sidewalk installation will
cost approximately $135,000.00 and is anticipated to improve pedestrian connectivity in this part of
Silver Valley. Since first reading the developer has revised the proposal, reducing the number of
townhouse units from 64 to 61. This proposal as revised (Appendix C) does not require an OCP
amendment.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7037-2013 be amended as identified in the
staff report dated April 14, 2014, be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public
Hearing; and
2.That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading.
i.Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt
of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Ag reement;

b)Site and Project Description:
The subject site (Appendix A) is located in Silver Valley and is bounded to the north by single family
lots, approximately 5-10 years old. To the west, there are new street townhouses, facing 236th Street
and to the east, a recently approved 69 unit townhouse development. To the south, facing 132nd
Avenue, are two single family lots, designated “Medium-High Density Residential” which are likely to
be re-developed in the near future. The subject site (Appendix A) is sloping down almost 12% from
north-east corner to the south-west corner, towards the intersection of 132nd Avenue and 236th
Street.
The current development proposal consists of 61 townhouse units in 17 blocks clustered around a
6.0 metre wide strata road. Main access to the site is proposed from 236th Street, in the south-west
corner (Appendix C). The units facing 133rd Avenue have direct pedestrian access on to 133rd
Avenue and are in a duplex form to be more sensitive to the existing single family houses north of
133rd Avenue. Each duplex has a combination of tandem and a two-car double wide garage
attached. Most of the units facing 236th Street are 3 storey units (13 feet or 3.96 metre wide) with
tandem parking arrangement (one enclosed garage and the second space on the driveway apron).
For the rest of the site, the proposal has a reasonable mix of tandem and double wide units. Out of a
total of 61 units proposed, 18 units have a 2-car double wide attached garage, while 43 units
(70.49%) have a tandem parking arrangement. Throughout the site, the unit block sizes vary from 2
to 5 attached units in each block. The proposed unit sizes vary from 119 m2 (1277 sft) to 162 m2
(1749 sft) giving a reasonable mix of two and three bedroom units. A large central green space
(amenity area) is surrounded by pedestrian walkways and townhouse blocks. The proposed rain and
storm water management scheme utilizes means such as infiltration of site run-off through
absorbent landscaping, rain gardens, bio swales, central green space between units, permeable
pavers for the visitor parking stalls and staggered landscaped beds with appropriate top soil. The
- 4 -
Landscape Architect has provided a detailed landscape plan (Appendix F) that will be discussed in
the Development Permit report at a future Council meeting.
Proposed building finishes include a variety of finishes such as pre-finished vinyl siding, painted
board and batten siding, painted wood wall shingles, painted wooden bargeboards, fascia, columns,
beams, cultured stone cladding for column bases and fiberglass laminated shingles for roofing.
Details of the proposed materials and finishes will be discussed in a future Council report.
c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan :
The development site (Appendix A) is located on the south-east corner of 236th Street and 133rd
Avenue, within the Silver Valley Area Plan, located just outside of the “River Village” Hamlet Centre.
The OCP designation for the subject site is “Medium-High Density Residential”.
Silver Valley Area Plan Policy 5.2 states:
River Village is located along a main arterial route in the Silver Valley area, on Fern Crescent,
between Maple Ridge Park to the south and an escarpment to the north and east.
The principles within the River Village area talk about making it a complete community with diverse
mix of uses and building types.
Principal 5.2.8 for River Village Hamlet states:
a) Residential densities range from 30 to 70 units per net hectare within a 5-minute walk of the
River Village. Approximately 400 residential units are proposed within this area, however, an
additional 575 residences are proposed within an 800 metre radius of the centre.
b) Higher densities of 70 units per hectare are generally limited to Balsam Street on opposing
sides of the north half of the Community Green. These densities are typically associated with
maisonette type apartment accommodation within a mansion building form.
c) Densities of 30-50 units per hectare will be encouraged for the balance of the River Village area
and may include attached as well as detached fee-simple housing.
d) In general, higher densities of 50 units per hectare should be located south of Balsam Creek
between 233rd Street and 235th Street and should be within 400 m or 5 minute walk from the
village centre.
Land uses in the periphery of the hamlet are meant to serve as a transition to higher density in the
Hamlet Centre. The subject site (Appendix A) is outside both: the defined higher density areas in the
Area Plan and the 400 metre or 5 minute walking radius of the River Village Hamlet Centre. Based
on the location, the density permitted for the subject site is 30-50 units per net hectare. The original
proposal with 64 townhouse units, exceeding 50 units per net hectare, needed an OCP amendment.
- 5 -
This proposal was recently revised to 61 townhouse units after Council granted first reading, to
avoid the requirement of an OCP amendment. The density proposed as shown in the current
proposal is in compliance with the density for this area (Policy 5.2.8 c above). As a result an OCP
amendment is not required. However, a site-specific text amendment is necessary to allow an FSR
of 0.64 which exceeds the permitted floor space ratio in the RM-1 zone.
Zoning Bylaw:
The proposed zone requires a minimum usable open space of 45 m2 for each three-bedroom and
30 m2 for each two-bedroom unit. This zone also requires a Common Activity area of minimum 5 m2
per unit. The proposed useable open space and common activity area including the central green
space, front and exterior side yards exceeds the minimum required in the zone.
The proposed zone permits a floor space ratio (FSR) of 0.6 times the net lot area plus a 50 m2 area
per unit for habitable basements. The RM-1 zone permits a total gross floor area of 7322.33 m2 for
the subject site. The developer is requesting increased total gross floor area to 7808.75 m2 (i.e. an
FSR of 0.64 instead of 0.6 permitted) via a site-specific text amendment. This site-specific text
amendment is reflected in the revised Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7037-2013 as attached (Appendix
B). The first reading report showed an FSR of 0.67 which has been revised to 0.64 FSR as attached
in Appendix B. This proposal shows 10 more units than the previous application (RZ/085/08).
The RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone specifies the following setbacks: 7.5 metres from front, rear
and exterior side yard; 4.5 metres from an interior side yard for a wall with no windows to a
habitable room; and 6.0 metres from an interior side yard for a wall with a balcony or a window to a
habitable room. Maximum permitted height in this zone must not exceed 10.5 metres and 2.5
storeys. Some variances for setback, height and storeys of certain units are being sought, as
outlined below.
Proposed Variances to the Zoning Bylaw :
Some setback variances are being requested fro units facing 133rd Avenue (north) and 236th Street
(west) and are along the eastern and southern property lines. In addition to this all the proposed
units are three storeys in form and out of 61 units, 20 units are proposing a height of 11.75 metres
while 41 units are proposing a height of 11.5 metres.
A development variance permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. From a
design perspective these setback variances are minor and proposed with an intention of providing
better street presence. It should however be noted that the height and storey variances have
stemmed from the form/design and will not comply with the new Zoning Bylaw when measurement
will be to the mid point of the roof as opposed to currently being measured to the roof ridge. The
details of these variances (setback, height and storeys) will be discussed in a future Council report.
Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
As per the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990, the RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential District zone) requires 2 parking spaces per unit for residents plus 0.2 spaces per unit
- 6 -
for visitors. Based on the required total on-site parking ratio for the RM-1 zone, 122 residential
stalls are required, which have been proposed in the form of tandem or double wide parking garages
attached to each unit. Out of a total of 61 units proposed, 18 have a 2-car double wide attached
garage, while 43 units (70.49%) have a tandem parking arrangement. All the units have driveway
aprons ranging in length from 4 to 6 metres. A total of 13 parking spaces are required for visitors,
which have been distributed throughout the site in between the building blocks as shown in the
proposed Site Plan (Appendix C).
Proposed Amenity:
The developer is required to provide all the off-site upgrades along both the street frontages, as a
condition of final reading on the rezoning. This is standard with any development application
requiring the land to be rezoned.
In addition to this the developer is offering to build a sidewalk going south, down the west side of
236th Street, from 132nd Avenue to Fern Crescent. This sidewalk is anticipated to be a 1.5 m asphalt
sidewalk as shown in a draft sketch attached as Appendix D. The details of the sid ewalk will depend
on ground-truthing and be finalized with the off-site servicing drawings. The proposed sidewalk is
approximately estimated to cost the developer $135,000.00 plus other fees. The developer is
offering this as a type of amenity to offset the proposed excess gross floor area for the site. This will
also be a condition of final reading as mentioned in this report.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, a Multi-Family Development Permit
application and approval is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing
neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential
conflicts with neighbouring land uses. This will be the subject of a future Council report.
Advisory Design Panel :
On February 11, 2014, the Advisory Design Panel reviewed the proposal for form and character.
The panel recommended this proposal moving forward with the following concerns to be addressed
by the applicant as the design develops and submitted to staff for follow-up:
Consider pedestrian access on north internal street;
Consider more meaningful onsite pedestrian access & circulation from informal gravel paths
to more formal paths and elimination of the dead-end paths;
Consider onsite storm water detention methods on internal streets to maximize soil volume
for planting areas;
Consider using bio-swale treatment along 236 Street;
Reconsider access between buildings facing 236 Street for internal circulation;
Consider non-combustible materials in buildings of close proximity;
- 7 -
Consider centralizing the amenity area/green space to a better sun aspect (orientation)
and/or improving the visual supervision for all the residents including connectivity to 236th
Street;
Consider consistent wood detail (reference to the double wood detail) throughout the site;
Consider further natural play-scape elements in the amenity area/open space.
All the above stated concerns were addressed through design revisions such as improved
pedestrian connectivity to 236th Street and within the development, introducing bio-swales and
providing an improved Storm Water Management on site. These revisions were reviewed by the
Panel to their satisfaction. The details of these revisions will be discussed in a future Council report.
Development Information Meeting :
A Development Information Meeting was held on Thursday, April 3, 2014 from 5:00 to 7:30 pm at
the Yennadon Elementary School at 23347, 128th Avenue, Maple Ridge. The developer and his
team of consultants were present with the details of the proposal and to answer any questions from
the attendees. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to qualifying property owners;
advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the development sign
on site. Approximately 14 people attended this meeting and the concerns expressed and some
responses may be summarized as stated below:
There seemed to be a general concern about the existing traffic in the Rock Ridge area and
the negative impact on traffic due to increased gross floor are with this development. Some
expressed concerns about the safety at the corner of 236 th Street and 133rd Avenue and
suggested that a traffic circle or four-way stop sign be installed;
There seemed to be positive support for the duplex form proposed facing 133rd Avenue;
There seemed to be a general concern about lack of schools/ neighbourhood parks and no
transit in the Silver Valley area and that the children cannot be accommodated in the
Yennadon Elementary School;
Some expressed concerns about the proposed tandem units. The developer explained that
the project meets the proposed tandem parking bylaw amendments;
One of the resident preferred single family development for the site instead of townhouses;
Some concerns were expressed about parking along 236th Street. The developer explained
that 236th street would be widened to a Collector standard road right-of-way which will offer
at least 15 new parking spaces along east of 236th Street;
Some expressed concerns if the existing mail boxes on 133rd Avenue may be moved;
Some expressed concerns about removing trees; wanted as many trees to be saved as
possible. The developer explained trees along southern property line will be saved and the
others will need to be cleared but will be replaced by substantial new ones;
Some enquired about the new sidewalk along 236th Street up to Fern Crescent; and
Some enquired about the drainage and on-site storm water management for the proposed
development. The developer explained that the Storm Water Management Plan proposes a
combination of top soil, absorbent landscaping, bio-sales and detention on site, with special
attention to reduce negative impacts on downstream lands along the southern property line.
The meeting ended at 8:00 pm.
- 8 -
d)Environmental Implications:
A three-tier Storm Water Management system, designed in accordance with the District's
Watercourse Protection Bylaw 6410-2006 and incorporating the following three components, is
required.
i.Rainfall Capture (Source Control), for Tier A events (the small rainfall events that are less
than half the size of a mean annual rainfall (MAR), 90% of all rainfall events are Tier A
events);
ii.Runoff Control (Detention) for Tier B events (the large rainfall events that are greater
than half the size of a MAR. but smaller than a MAR, about 10% of all rainfall events are
Tier B events); and
iii.Flood Risk Management (contain and convey), for Tier C events (the extreme rainfall
events exceeding a MAR, a Tier C event may or may not occur in any given year)
Rainfall capture will be primarily achieved by using 300 mm thick absorbent topsoil, with detention,
containment, and conveyance achieved through oversized piping and the bios-wales, rain gardens
and detention tanks located on the site . The BCLNA “growing medium” tables provide
guidelines for ratios of sand, silt, and clay, along with organic content, acidity, and drainage. A Storm
Water Management Restrictive Covenant showing all the SWM areas along with guidelines for
maintenance by the future strata will be registered on title.
e)Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department reviewed the proposal and determined that there is road dedication for
a 3x3 metre corner truncation and that all the required off-site services do not exist. The deficient
services and upgrades which are required to be provided through a Rezoning Servicing Agreement
include the following: removal of culverts, under-ground utilities, new separated sidewalk, new
concrete barrier curb and gutter, street trees and street lights facing 133rd Avenue and 236th Street.
In addition to the above, details of the proposed off-site amenity of the sidewalk along 236th Street
up to Fern Crescent will need to be included in the refundable cost estimate. This sidewalk is
anticipated to be a 1.5 m asphalt sidewalk as shown in a draft sketch attached as Appendix D. The
details of the sidewalk will depend on ground-truthing and will be finalized with the off-site servicing
drawings, prior to final reading of the proposed bylaw.
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. Upon completion of this project,
it is anticipated that 22 street trees (total along both the road frontages) will be added to the
municipal street tree inventory,

Fire Department:
The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant.
The applicant has ensured that these will be addressed at the Building Permit stage.
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 at a later date.
f)School District Comments:
A referral was sent to the School District office and comments were received on March 12, 2014.
The School District 42 has reiterated that developments in the Silver Valley Area would affect the
projected student population for the catchment area currently served by Yennadon Elementary and
Garibaldi Secondary schools. The enrollment at the Yennadon Elementary School is at 104.4%
utilization (569 students, including 140 out of catchment students, for 2013-14 year). The students
from this area will need to be bussed to Harry Hooge and Alouette Elementary schools, which are
beyond the established walking limits of the School Board. Enrollment at the Garibaldi Secondary
school is at 74.67% utilization (784 students, including 362 out of catchment students, for 2013-14
year).
g)Citizen/Customer Implications:
A Development Information Meeting was conducted on April 3, 2014 where the neighbours had an
opportunity to express their concerns. This along with a future Public Hearing is considered
adequate opportunities for citizens to voice their concerns regarding the proposed development.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed land use is in compliance with the land use designation of the Silver Valley Area Plan.
The original proposal was revised to comply with the OCP. The project architect has addressed all
the concerns from the Advisory Design Panel. Some setback and height variances will be required as
described in this report.
The developer (Portrait Homes) is seeking a site-specific zoning text amendment to permit an
increase in total gross floor area on site (i.e. 0.64 FSR instead of 0.6 FSR permitted) which
translates to 61 units or a density of 49.98 units per net hectare. As a compensation for the
increased gross floor area on site, the developer is offering an amenity in the form of a new sidewalk
located on the west side of 236 Street between 132nd Avenue and Fern Crescent (Appendix D).

SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7153-2015
Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment to allow Secondary Suites as a Permitted use in
R-1, CD-1-93 and CD-1-99
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A resolution from Council Workshop meeting of September 23, 2013 directed staff to prepare
Zoning Bylaw text amendments to allow secondary suites in the following zones:
the R-1 Residential District Zone;
the CD-1-93 Amenity Residential District Zone, and;
the CD-1-99 Comprehensive Development Zone.
These amendments contribute to the provision of rental housing in the city which aligns with the
actions identified in the Housing Action Plan, endorsed by Council on September 30, 2014.
Between 2012 and 2013 the City undertook a review of the secondary suites and temporary
residential use bylaws. This review was considered a background component of the Housing Action
Plan. As a result of a comprehensive public consultation process Council endorsed a number of
recommendations to continue to support this housing option. This zoning bylaw text amendment
implements one of those recommendations with the others to be implemented through the Housing
Action Plan.
This report outlines a brief review of secondary suites overall, its place within the housing continuum
and describes the zoning bylaw text amendment changes as directed by Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
1.That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7153 -2015 be given first and second
reading and be forwarded to the June 2015 Public Hearing.

A. BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION:
i.Secondary Suites Review - Background
Maple Ridge has had a secondary suites program for over 15 years and was one of the first
municipalities in the Lower Mainland to do so. In 1999 Council amended the Zoning Bylaw to allow
secondary suites in a limited number of single family residential zones with minimum lot areas of
557m2 or greater. This was done as a means to help provide affordable, rental housing within the
City with the recognition that at that time, there were many unauthorized suites within Maple Ridge.
A Secondary Suite Review process was endorsed by Council in July, 2012 to review policies and
regulations concerning secondary suites and temporary residential uses. As part of this extensive
review process, public consultation on secondary suites identified resident’s key concerns, issues
and interest for changes to policy surrounding secondary suites.
The Secondary Suites Review concluded in September of 2013. The final Resolution relating to
zoning from Council Workshop meeting of September 23, 2013 directed staff to prepare Zoning
Bylaw text amendments to allow secondary suites in the following zones:
the CD-1-99 Comprehensive Development Zone;
the R-1 Residential District Zone, and;
the CD-1-93 Amenity Residential District Zone.
The Secondary Suites Review provided the background study that in part, informed the Housing
Action Plan which launched in September that same year and was then endorsed by Council on
September 30, 2014.
ii.Housing Action Plan - Background
The preparation of the Housing Action Plan (HAP) began in September, 2013. The process provided
an analysis of the current housing situation in Maple Ridge and included a comprehensive
consultation program with the community. Through consultation, the following groups were
identified within the City as most in need of housing:
renters;
seniors;
low-income and single parent families, and;
at risk women.
Furthermore, emerging issues were grouped into the following themes:
Housing Mix and Homeownership
A Mix of Housing Options
Market Rental Housing
- 3 -
Non-Market Housing
Seniors
Development Approvals Process
Leadership Role
This produced a Working Draft of the Housing Action Plan in spring, 2014, which was further refined
to reflect input from the Social Planning Advisory Committee, Council, staff and the community. The
final Housing Action Plan document was endorsed by Council in September 30, 2014.
Secondary suites facilitate additional opportunities for affordable housing within the market rental
housing portion of the Housing Continuum and provide a number of benefits to homeowners,
tenants and the community overall.
For tenants: secondary suites are widely considered an affordable rental housing option for
individuals or families that cannot afford ownership, or by choice prefer to rent, offering the
choice to live in a lower density neighbourhood rather than apartment building.
For homeowners: of secondary suites gain the benefit of a ‘mortgage helper’, particularly
useful aspect for young families entering the housing market or retired seniors with lower
incomes not ready to downsize.
For the community overall: secondary suites offer a way to provide additional housing
options for residents within single family residential areas, while maintaining existing
housing stock and character of the neighbourhood. Additional housing within existing
neighbourhoods also provide for a more effective use of existing infrastructure within a
municipality.
Within the larger spectrum of community planning, secondary suites are one aspect of smart growth.
A moderate increase of density within existing neighbourhoods means less pressure on
municipalities to expand new residential lands, it makes use of existing infrastructure resulting in
cost efficiency and allows citizens from a range of economic levels and ages to live in the same
neighbourhood, a good practice in social sustainability.
B. ZONING BYLAW
Existing Regulations :
A Secondary Suite Residential Use is defined in Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 – 1985 in Part 2.
Interpretation, as:
“SECONDARY SUITE RESIDENTIAL USE means a residential use accessory to a one
family residential use, limited to one dwelling unit contained within the same building
as the one family residential use”.
- 4 -
Specific requirements for secondary suites are outlined under Part 4: General Regulation, Section
402. Subsection 8. These regulations limit secondary suites to one per lot, contained within an
owner occupied residential unit. They ensure the suite is an adequate size, provide one parking stall
and are not combined with any other temporary residential use. Regulations also restrict strata title,
require official documentation and approval from applicable Health Authority if the lot is not serviced
by municipal sewer and prohibits secondary suites within homes located within a floodplain (refer to
Appendix C for Zoning Bylaw Regulations).
Proposed Amend ment:
The R-1 zone is becoming the standard single family residential zone within the City of Maple Ridge.
Allowance for secondary suites within this zone will play an important role in providing affordable
rental housing for the community, which is a key component of the Housing Action Plan.
Zones in which secondary suites are permitted as a use is outlined in Part 6. Residential Zones,
Section 601, Subsection A. Secondary suites are currently permitted in the following single family
residential zones: RS-1, RS-1a, RS-1b, RS-1c, RS-1d, RS-2, RS-3, SRS with larger lot sizes, greater
than 557m2. An outcome of the secondary suites consultation process heard a request from
residents and the building community to expand the use of zones, in part for greater housing
affordability, both for renters and homeowners wanting mortgage helpers. Secondary suites in
additional zones with slightly smaller lot sizes (to a minimum of 371m 2) was then supported by the
community and thought to have minimal impact to existing neighbourhood character and on parking
capacity which outlines two parking stalls and third for a secondary suite.
Changes to the bylaw include the addition of secondary suites to the following zones:
R-1 Residential District Zone (371m2 lot size);
CD-1-93 Amenity Residential District Zone (371m2 lot size), and;
CD-1-99 Comprehensive Development Zone (371m2 lot size).
The CD-1-93 Amenity Residential District Zone permits a single family use based on the parcel size
and siting requirements of the RS-1b One Family Urban Residential Zone (557m2 lot size). Since RS-
1b allows secondary suites, this zone was included in the amendment.
The CD-1-99 Comprehensive Development Zone permits a single family use based on the parcel size
and siting requirements of the R-1 Residential District (371m2 lot size) and RS-1b One Family Urban
Residential Zone (557m2 lot size). Both of these zones with this text amendment for R-1, will allow
secondary suites and therefore CD-1-99 is also included in this amendment.
CONCLUSION:
This report provides the context and outlines text amendment changes required to allow Secondary
Suites as a permitted use in R-1, CD-1-93 and CD-1-99 zone as directed by Council Resolution in
September, 2013. This amendment completes an action outcome of the Secondary Suite Review
- 5 -
process and is aligned with work currently being completed within the Housing Action Plan. These
changes maintain a lot size for allowance of secondary suites within a range typical for neighbouring
and comparable Lower Mainland communities.

FROM:Chief Administrative Officer 06-2240-20
MEETING:C of W
SUBJECT:Excess Capacity/Extended Services Agreement LC 158/14
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A developer subdivided 12123, 12138, 12143, 12158 and 12171 270 Street and extended water
and road services across the development frontages.The extended services provide a benefit to a
total of 8 future properties. The development application will utilize 6 services with the remaining 2
services considered to be excess or extended servicing in accordance with the Local Government
Act. Latecomer Agreement LC 158/14 provides the municipality’s assessment of the attribution of
the costs of the excess or extended servicing to the benefiting lands.
RECOMMENDATION:
That with respect to the subdivision of lands involved in subdivision SD 097/10 located at 12123,
12138, 12143, 12158 and 12171 270 Street,be it resolved:
1.That the cost to provide the excess or extended services is, in whole or in part, excessive to the
municipality and that the cost to provide these services shall be paid by the owners of the land
being subdivided, and
2.That Latecomer Charges be imposed for such excess or extended services on the parcels and
in the amounts as set out in the staff report dated May 25, 2015;and further
3.That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Excess Capacity Latecomer
Agreement LC 158/14 with the subdivider of the said lands.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The attached map identifies the properties which are involved in the development and the
benefitting properties which will be serviced from the excess or extended services in the
future.Table 1 below identifies the benefit provided to each property included in the
latecomer agreement and a cost breakdown for each excess or extended service is shown
on attached Schedule A.

In addition, a copy of Excess Capacity Latecomer Agreement LC 158/14 is also attached for
information purposes.
b)Strategic Alignment:
Administration of excess or extended services legislation complies with the Smart Managed
Growth element of the Corporate Strategic Plan. The administration procedure supports the
requirement for a developer to construct municipal infrastructure in support of land
development and recognizes that the infrastructure may provide benefit to other land.
c)Policy Implications:
Part 26, Division 11, of the Local Government Act provides that where a developer pays all
or part of the cost of excess or extended services, the municipality shall determin e the
proportion of the cost of the service which constitutes excess or extended service and
determine the proportion of the cost of the service to be attributed to parcels of land which
the municipality considers will benefit from the service. Latecomer Agreement LC 158/14
will provide such determination for Subdivision SD 97/10.
CONCLUSION:
A developer has provided certain services in support of Subdivision SD 97/10.Some of the services
benefit adjacent lands therefore, it is appropriate to impose La tecomer Charges on the benefitting
lands.Latecomer Agreement LC 158/14 summarizes the municipality’s determination of benefitting
lands and cost attribution and also establishes the term over which such Latecomer Charges will be
applied.

FROM:Chief Administrative Officer MEETING:C of W
SUBJECT:Award of Contract ITT-EN15-31:128 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements
(210 Street to 216 Street)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
128 Avenue,from 210 Street to 232 Street is one of three primary east-west arterial roadways
providing east-west access across Maple Ridge to the Golden Ears Bridge and Lougheed Highway
and is part of the Translink Major Road Network.The widening of 128 Avenue to an ultimate four
lane cross-section was identified in the 2003 and 2014 Strategic Transportation Plan (STP) as traffic
volumes increase due to growth.The 128 Avenue project is in the City’s approved Financial Plan
with the construction of Phase I from 210 Street to 216 Street proceeding in 2015 and Phase II from
216 Street to 224 Street proposed for 2016 although the design for both project phases is being
completed this year.
The Phase I construction on 128 Avenue includes widening the roadway from two to four lanes with a
paved three metre wide multi-use path on the north side.The work generally consists of roadway
construction including granular lightweight fill,ducting for future fibre optic cable, street lighting,
traffic signals and signal modification, stream and ditch relocation, and fish habitat and riparian
restoration.The project construction is anticipated to commence in June 2015 with substantial
completion in November 2015 except for the top lift of asphalt paving that will be placed in June/July
of 2016.
An Invitation to Tender was issued on April 22, 2015 and closed on May 14, 2015. The lowest
compliant tender price was submitted by King Hoe Excavating Ltd.for $7,045,184.00 excluding
taxes.There is additional work to be undertaken by City crews on the City water infrastructure;third
party utility relocations;environmental monitoring and construction reviews.
Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract ITT-EN15-31,128 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements (210 Street to 216
Street), be awarded to King Hoe Excavating Ltd.in the amount of $7,045,184.00 excluding taxes;
THAT a project contingency of 15% or $1,150,077.60 be approved to address potential variations in
field conditions;
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract;
THAT the existing ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd contract for Engineering Design Services
for 128 Avenue (Abernethy Way) from 210 Street to 224 Street, be amended to increase the budget
by $220,000.00 for environmental monitoring and construction services; and
THAT the Financial Plan be amended to increase the project budget by $763,404.30 as detailed in
the Council Report dated May 25, 2015 titled Award of Contract ITT-EN15-31: 128 Avenue Road
and Drainage Improvements (210 Street to 216 Street).
1105
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The 128 Avenue corridor is one of the three primary east-west corridors within Maple
Ridge and it is designated as part of the Translink Major Road Network.The original road
allowance was very narrow –as little as 12 metres –and over the last two years the City
has purchased additional road right-of-way to accommodate the proposed widening.
Currently the roadway exists as a two lane rural road with very little paved or gravel
shoulders for pedestrians or cyclists.
The widening of 128 Avenue to four lanes was initially identified in the 2003 Strategic
Transportation Plan (STP)and reinforced in the updated 2014 STP.The STP identifies
the recommended time frame for the re-construction and widening to be between the
years 2015-2019.Phase I of this project from 210 Street to 216 Street is in the City’s
approved Financial Plan, with Phase II from 216 Street to 224 Street proposed for 2016.
The phase from 224 Street to 232 Street is in the City’s Long-term Capital Plan.
The Phase I construction on 128 Avenue includes widening 128 Avenue from two to four
lanes with a paved three metre wide multi-use path.The work generally consists of
roadway construction, granular lightweight fill, guard rail, driveway re-constructions,
drainage works,ducting for future fibre optic cable, street lighting, traffic signals and
signal modification, stream and ditch relocation, and fish habitat and riparian
restoration. The project construction is anticipated to commence in June 2015 with
substantial completion in November 2015 except for the top lift of asphalt paving that
will be placed in June/July of 2016 to accommodate potential settlement of the roadway
due to the poor soils, especially at the west end of the project.There are significant water
courses that parallel or cross 128 Avenue that will be relocated to the south side of the
proposed roadway. Given the size of the culverts required across 128 Avenue there will
be a scheduled full road closure for five days at the intersection of 216 Street with
appropriate detours.
The soils in the area of 210 Street are weak and it will be necessary to excavate down
below the roadway structure to remove the organic materials before placing lightweight
fill. The purpose of the lightweight fill is to limit the amount of potential settlement and
reduce future maintenance of the pavement structure.Utility relocations by third parties
such as BC Hydro are required as part of the project and are included in the project
costs.
Tender Evaluation
An Invitation to Tender was issued on April 22, 2015 for the 128 Avenue Road and
Drainage Improvements (210 Street to 216 Street) and closed on May 14, 2015 .Eight
compliant tenders were received ranging from $7,045,184.00 to $9,069,660.00
excluding taxes as noted below,listed in order from lowest to highest price:
Tender Price (excluding taxes)
King Hoe Excavating Ltd.$7,045,184.00
B & B Contracting (2012) Ltd.$7,087,640.00
Tybo Contracting Ltd.$7,414,616.89
Targa Contracting Ltd.$7,493,705.00
Martens Asphalt Ltd.$8,068,738.35
Pedre Contractors Ltd.$8,086,000.00
Jakes Construction Ltd.$8,290,850.00
Tag Construction Ltd.$9,069,660.00
A tender submitted by Mainland Civil Site Services Inc.was deemed to be legally non-
compliant due to missing pages FT5, FT6 and FT7 of the Form of Tender, Appendix 1.
Staff has reviewed the tenders and the lowest compliant bid was $7,045,184.00 from
King Hoe Excavating Ltd.(King Hoe)has completed a number of projects with a similar
scope as 128 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements (210 Street to 216 Street)and
is suitably qualified for the works.Staff undertook reference checks with other
municipalities that deemed King Hoe capable of completing the project success fully
Consultant Construction Services
City staff will be providing a full-time site representative responsible for the day-to-day
quality assurance of the contractor’s work and coordination of all site issues. However,
given the complex nature of the environmental,fisheries,geotechnical and drainage
elements of the project, on-site field reviews and monitoring by the design consultant is
required to support City staff as well as satisfy Engineer of Record requirements.The
contract with the design consultant, ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd., is in the
amount of $236,887.00,for detailed design and tender documents.They have provided
estimates supporting an increase in contract value by $220,000.00 for the necessary
civil, geotechnical, electrical and environmental services during construction.
b)Desired Outcome:
The construction of 128 Avenue from 210 Street to 216 Street will provide significant
improvements to safety,convenience and accessible movement of people, goods and
services.This project will also provide a strong multi-modal transportation system by
promoting alternative modes (pedestrian, bike) of travel to reduce reliance on the
automobile.
c)Strategic Alignment:
The 128 Avenue Road and Drainage Improvements Project supports the following key
strategies identified in the City’s Strategic Plan:
Ensure that the transportation system is accessible to individuals of all ages and
physical abilities.
Continue to address long-term safety of the City’s roadway network.
Support development of efficient connections between Maple Ridge, key
gateways and other regional nodes to enhance regional mobility.
Expand the network of cycling routes within the City and connections to nearby
municipalities.
Provide attractive pedestrian facilities in key pedestrian areas and provide for
safe facilities along corridors for growing areas.
Ensure that the transportation system serves and supports growth plans within
the City and work with the Ministry of Transportation and TransLink to support
regional travel demands.
Develop a transportation system that minimizes impacts on the air quality within
the City by supporting walking, cycling and transit.
d)Citizen/Customer Implications:
The estimated construction duration is approximately five months with construction
commencing promptly after the project is awarded and is expected to be substantially
complete by November 2015 except for the top lift of asphalt paving.
The paving will take place in June/July of 2016 to accommodate potential settlement of
the roadway due to the poor soils, especially at the west end of the project.
The impact to everyday traffic, residents, and businesses in the neighbourhood will be
minimized as much as possible.With the exception of a planned five day closure at the
216 Street intersection, 128 Avenue is expected to remain open to traffic throughout
construction. Work on roadways and interruption of traffic is prohibited during peak
traffic periods of 6:00am –9:00am and 3:00pm –6:00pm. Single lane alternating
traffic must be maintained at all times unless approved otherwise in the Traffic
Management Plan.In-stream works for the two major culvert crossings will be completed
within the fisheries window which extends from August 1 to September 15.
The Contractor’s schedule will be monitored to minimize impact on properties and events
along the 128 Ave corridor such as the Laity Pumpkin Patch Halloween season.
Impacted parties, as well as the general public will be informed of the construction
progress through the City’s website and social media sources.
e)Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering,Operations, Parks and Planning Departments have provided input
during the design stage and we have made use of City resources where possible in the
interests of cost effectiveness and efficiencies.
f)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The estimated project construction cost is $8,817,261.60 including all third party utility
relocates, field reviews and monitoring by professional consultants,construction costs
and contingencies.The projected costs and funding breakdown is as follows:
Construction $ 7,045,184.00
Additional Consultant Services $ 220,000.00
Third Party Utility Costs $ 200,000.00
Operations -Water relocations $ 150,000.00
Operations -Traffic Signals $ 52,000.00
Project Contingency $1,150,077.60
Grand Total $ 8,817,261.60
Existing Funding
Abernethy Way (210 St -E Blackstock St )$ 6,232,922.00
128 Avenue (210 St to 216 St )$ 1,820,935.30
Subtotal $ 8,053,857.30
Amended Funds
Accumulated Surplus $229,021.30
Development Cost Charges $534,383.00
Subtotal $763,404.30
Total Funding $ 8,817,261.60
This project is largely funded by Development Cost Charges (approx. 70%). The balance is
funded through General Revenue and grant funding.Translink has contributed
approximately $1.6 million to the overall project.
The project expenditures include a contingency that will only be utilized if required to
address unforeseen issues throughout construction. The funding sources include re-
assigned capital funding from applicable projects within the 128 Avenue corridor.The
project costs identify a 15% contingency to accommodate potential unforeseen items
that may arise during construction. To accommodate this, an additional potential draw of
$534,383.00 from Development Cost Charges is identified along with $229,021.30 from
accumulated surplus.
CONCLUSIONS:
The tender price of $7,045,184.00 excluding taxes by King Hoe Excavating Ltd.for 128 Avenue
Road and Drainage Improvements (210 Street to 216 Street)is the lowest compliant tendered price.
It is recommended that Council approve the award of the contract to King Hoe Excavating Ltd. It is
further recommended that Council approve a total budget of $8,817,261.60 to allow for City water
and traffic works, consultant construction services, third party utility relocations,and a project
contingency.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee - Public Art Locations
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee (MRPASC) developed a five year strategic
framework to guide the development of public art in 2014. The plan is based on feedback
attained through a community consultation process and discussions with various internal
departments. In accordance with its role and responsibility as a Committee of Council and the
public art policy, the Committee is forwarding a recommendation for the location of public art for
the remainder of 2015 and into 2016. The Committee’s proposal for three locations that best
meet criteria for public art in 2015 and 2016:
The Greg Moore Youth Centre (GMYC),
Hammond Stadium and,
Various public sidewalks in the community that will be replaced in the near future as
scheduled work by the Engineering Department.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the recommended site selection criteria and proposed locations for public art 2015-2016
at the Greg Moore Youth Centre, Hammond Stadium, and various concrete sidewalks to be
coordinated with future scheduled work by the Engineering Department, be approved.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The Maple Ridge Public Art program was officially started in 2009 and since then a number
of projects have been completed under the policy and program. The MRPASC’s mission is
to “strengthen community identity and culture by developing the ‘spirit of place through the
commission, collecting and incorporation of unique works of art.”
The proposed locations were chosen based on information from MRPASC’s five year
strategic framework and inter-department discussions. The Committee has identified and
proposed three locations. The framework emphasizes flexibility and responsiveness to
future opportunities that may arise from time to time. An enduring public art program will
see the realization of artworks installed, over time, at different scales, in different ways,
with a variety of means, projects, materials, processes and locations.
1151
In addition to the goals and objectives stated in the policy, the Committee developed site
selection criteria for the proposed commissions which may include:
high visibility;
experientially-based for pedestrians and/or motorists;
adjacent to high pedestrian activity areas, places of public gathering, public open spaces
and recognized pedestrian routes;
interactive and engaging for audiences; and
selected artwork installations are responsive to the site and benefit the larger community.
Furthermore, the proposed locations which are the subject of this report include:
1. Opportunities for youth engagement and artwork that will enhance lighting at the
GMYC.
2. Opportunity to recognize places of special heritage/community significance at
Hammond.
3. The opportunity to expand and enhance urban design and provide an avenue for the
expression of literary art. Sidewalk locations include the downtown and other
neighbourhoods.
b) Desired Outcome:
A creative public art program that develops a sense of community and cultural vitality,
enhances local economic benefits, attracts tourists and participants, develops volunteerism
and improves quality of life that attracts and retains existing and new residents and
businesses.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Recommendation for public art will contribute to place-making, community aspirations, and
the quality of life set out in the regional and municipal planning documents including the
Official Community Plan and the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Master Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed locations for new public artwork contributes to positive recreational and
cultural opportunities for citizen engagement, and a safe, vibrant, and livable community.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Parks, Youth Services and Engineering have contributed to the identification of the proposed
locations and preliminary plans.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The proposed locations align with the Committee’s business plan goals and the funding is
included in the funding allotment of the 2014–2018 approved financial plans.
g) Alternatives:
Request that the MRPASC reconsider other locations and opportunities.
CONCLUSIONS:
Approving the three proposed locations of the Greg Moore Youth Centre, Hammond Stadium and
public sidewalks with the proposed criteria is recommended and is within the funding envelope
identified within the 2014-2018 approved financial plans. The existence of artworks in the
public realm contributes to the quality, care, culture, and character of a place, for and by its
citizens.

SUMMARY
The purpose of the arts in a
city is to make a city fall in
love with itself.
- Pier Giorgio di Cicco
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee (the Committee) participated in facilitated meetings held
between the months of December 2013 through April 2014. The purpose of the meetings was to establish
a five-year public art strategic framework that would inspire, encourage and engage. The framework will
assist the Committee to make meaningful decisions in regards to the delivery of the Maple Ridge Public Art
Program. The stakeholder process contributed a broad range of opportunities and sites that the Committee
(and project partners) will use in the next few years to align their focus and to assist in decision-making and
setting priorities.
The Committee engaged in focused conversations with each other, municipal staff and community
stakeholders to develop a shared and better understanding of the Committee’s scope of work, learn from the
community, and to gather suggestions for possible public art sites, local traditions, significant personalities
and stories. The idea of collaboration, co-creation and co-production of public art initiatives with municipal
and community stakeholders emerged out of the conversations as another potential opportunity.
The discussions brought an increased awareness of how public art is but one of several contributing elements
in place and character-making, cultural expression and social well-being. The Committee recognized
for public artwork to be ‘successful’ - whether temporary or permanent - it needs to be relevant to the
community. In addition, the processes to realize the work are best integrated within community, municipal
and development planning and project delivery processes. A long list of public art sites, potential themes,
and stories was collected and sorted into public art opportunities. A number of suggested sites are on trails or
along the water’s edge. They add to the array of those in the downtown core. The five-year budget/business
plan was aligned to reflect the primary purpose and the supporting activities that are required to establish a
vibrant public art program.
The conversations of the past few months have revealed that the benefit of public art is not simply a collection
of public artworks but will be in the energy, the growing appreciation and the strengthening of community as
evidenced in the public realm and the quality of places in the District.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Maple Ridge recognizes the
importance of arts and culture
to the community, and will
support the implementation
of the Ridge Meadows Arts
and Culture Policy and Plan
(1996), and the development
of a comprehensive public art
initiative.
- The District of Maple Ridge
Official Community Plan (OCP) • Policy 4-13
Maple Ridge is one of twenty-two municipalities in the Metro Vancouver region working to create a sustainable
region by planning for the tremendous growth of population the region expects over the next 30 years or so.
The shared regional vision describes neighbourhoods that are interconnected vibrant hubs; linked parks, trails
and recreation facilities for residents to keep healthy and active. People will work, play and have the opportunity
through public art to celebrate the characteristics and culture of the place that brought them to Maple Ridge.
Public art will be a means to engage in the process of evolving and creating the future of community.
Maple Ridge is endowed with natural beauty, with extensive forests, mountains, rivers, creeks, lakes, and
agricultural lands. People choose to live in Maple Ridge because of this environment, and also because of the
strong sense of community. Homes are affordable and Maple Ridge is a ‘doable commute’ to Vancouver and
other municipalities in the Lower Mainland.
The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan 2010 states the public art objectives are
to:
• Increase a “sense of place” by partnering with the artistic community and others to expand artistic
expression in the community.
• Support artistic expression related to Maple Ridge’s cultural identity, particularly in the downtown area.
• Integrate the public art program with Planning and Development functions.
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee Governance Policy and Procedures 2011 sets out the purpose and
scope of responsibility of the Committee. The work of the Committee is the administration of the program and
the provision of advice to Council. It’s recognized for public artwork to be ‘publicly useful’ the work will need
to contribute to place-making, community aspirations, and the quality of life set out in the regional and municipal
planning documents: the Official Community and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plans.
Public art contributes to the image and the marking of time in a city. It can be a socio-cultural as well as a
capital asset. It helps provide the map of icons, memories, points of reference and engagement. Its existence
contributes to social as well as physical place-making and cultural expression. The existence of artworks in
the public realm speaks of quality, care, and the culture and character of a place, for and by its citizens. The
artworks are freely enjoyed by residents and visitors alike as they move around by foot, bike, skateboard and
vehicle, or gather, sit, muse and talk together. A range of artworks, temporary and permanent, is desirable.
Public art is one of several ways to concretize culture, animate the city and activate participation and
engagement in and with the city. An enduring program will see the realization of artworks installed, over
time, at different scales, in different ways, with a variety of means, projects, materials and processes.
In 2009 Council passed Bylaw 6659-2009 which established the Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee, a
committee of Council and delegated authority to the Committee to develop a public art program that would
“strengthen community identity and culture by developing the ‘spirit of the place through the commissioning, collecting and
‘‘PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 4
incorporation of unique works of art”:
The program will benefit: • Heritage and tourism • Cultural identity
• Site structures & landscape • Natural environment
• Development and the built-environment
The Committee is composed of five volunteers and includes a Council liaison. Municipal staff supports the
Committee’s work in meetings, as well as the implementation of committee decisions. The Committee
currently receives an annual budget of $70,000. Ongoing funding is contingent upon Council’s approval
as part of the annual budget process. The local Arts Council continues to actively support the work of the
Committee.
The Committee’s first task was to write the Governance Policy and Procedures. The policy and procedures laid
the foundation for the program and guide the work and selection processes for the District’s public art projects.
Since April 2011 the Committee has managed the selection processes and realization of two site-specific
artworks, participated in revising an artist-in-residence program as well as managed several other administrative
functions pertaining to the collection. With experience comes learning on the part of the Committee and staff
as to what is needed and the specific and concrete ways for the program to be more meaningful and effectively
managed, and for effective succession within the Committee so that it remains productive.
The Maple Ridge 2010 Parks and Recreation Culture Master Plan’s goal to create the “sense of place” will be
achieved by partnering with the artistic community and others, and by expanding artistic expression in the
community. The Official Community Plan suggests the public art program be integrated with municipal planning
and development functions. While the Committee has clearly understood its responsibilities in regards to the
administration of the program, there is a growing appreciation how collaboration, co-creation and co-production
will deliver valued and integrated public artworks.
The program is finding its voice within the District’s planning and development structures. Maple Ridge has
benefited from the dedicated volunteers who have worked diligently to fulfill Council’s directives and the
initiation of the public art program. The Committee has, through its recent conversations, come to understand
that it might serve the municipality better by having a long-term strategy and a process for regularly engaging
with internal and external stakeholders. The facilitated meetings held between the Committee and municipal
staff and the Committee and community representatives were recognized as the start of a regular stakeholder
engagement process. Ongoing conversations will help make the process of public art delivery reflective
of and a reflection of Maple Ridge’s energized, collaborative and connected community - one of the fastest
growing municipalities in the Region.
The Committee met first with staff to get an overview of the planning and development processes and an
outline of the various municipal and private projects being planned or in progress. The Committee quickly
appreciated that new neighbourhoods, park development and District projects deserve their attention and that
Public art is...
‘accessible work of any
kind that cares about,
challenges, involves, and
consults the audience for
or with whom it was made,
respecting community and
environment’.
- Lucy Lippard
PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 5
The purpose of the Maple Ridge
Public Art Steering Committee is to:
• Recommend criteria for the
commission of public art
installations to Council
• Have authority for entering into
agreements and contractual
obligations within the limitations of
approved budgets for the commission
of public art installations which meet
the criteria noted above
• Have authority to spend money
within an annual budget approved by
Council
• Submit an annual report to Council
by the end of May each year
describing the activities of the
previous year
STRATEGIC ENGAGEMENT FINDINGS
the exploration of the value of public art as one of many considerations in the planning and place-making in a
vibrant community. In addition, large-scale private developments offer additional opportunities for public art
to be installed as they too play a significant role in place-making. (Note: Public art is but one of many community
amenity contributions which might be included in the list of community needs a developer is asked to deliver in exchange
for the lift in value as a result of increased density.)
On February 6, 2014 the Committee members facilitated round-table conversations with community
stakeholders. These resulted in much new information, suggestions of sites, stories, characters and traditions
as well as ideas of collaboration with community groups. The conversations exposed a wide array of
opportunities in addition to the focus on the town centre as the primary site for public art installations.
The community suggestions support the popular affection for Maple Ridge’s natural environment and the
importance of recreational activities and community.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC ART
The Committee consolidated and distilled the information gathered from all the stakeholder meetings. They
established categories, related the stories etc. to sites and developed a list of public art opportunities. The
following chart documents the list of options identified during the discussions. The chart and accompanying
maps are considered to be guiding documents for future planning of the work of the Committee. The list
is neither complete nor comprehensive. It represents the ideas gathered at the time and a general guide,
and may be revised and refined as appropriate and provide for flexibility to respond as opportunities are
presented.

BUILDING THE MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART COLLECTIONSITING CRITERIA
The Committee developed a list of criteria to be used
when considering acquisition of artwork through
commissioning or purchasing in addition to the goals
and objectives stated in the policy. The criteria shall
include, but not be limited to the following intentions. An
opportunity will be:
• Highly visible
• Experientially-based for pedestrians and/or
motorists.
• Adjacent to high pedestrian activity areas, places of
public gathering, public open spaces and recognized
pedestrian routes.
• Responsive to the site and benefits the larger
community.
• Interactive and engaging for audiences and/or facility
users.
And, it will result in:
• Opportunities to expand on existing or future
public artworks, architectural features, natural
features, urban design and/or future development
plans for area
• Support the overall program goal or concept.
• Contributions to place-making and creating unique
landmarks (e.g. entrances, rivers, wharfs).
• Recognition of places of special heritage/
community significance.
• Recognition of opportunities to highlight
celebrations and community diversity (e.g.
Japanese, Finnish, Dutch, Native, new immigrants).
• Celebration of nature, conservation and the
environment.
• Consideration of environmental impact.
• Consideration of youth engagement and needs
which reflect youth sensitive & appropriate
opportunities/initiatives.
For the purpose of this report public art is defined as original site specific art created by artists or in
collaboration with artists through a public process and existing in publicly accessible areas. The selection
process will include input from the community or partner(s) and consultation with inter-departmental staff. It is
important to recognize that not all art in the public realm is public art. Maple Ridge’s existing public art inventory
includes, amongst other things, sculptures, carvings, mosaics and integrated arts (e.g. fencing/gates, water
features). As the District’s commitment to public art expands, so too might its definition. The establishment of
articulated processes, siting priorities and deaccessioning procedures are key requirements for the management
and administration of the program. The Policy and Procedures clearly sets out the selection process. Five
areas of focus emerged out of the discussions as useful objectives to support the Committee’s mission of
commissioning public art installations. The future areas of consideration include:
1. Education and awareness of the public art program
2. Public art inter-departmental collaborations
3. Collections Maintenance and management
4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
b. Private Development Public Art Program
5. Strategic planning cycle
PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 13
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Education and Awareness of the Public Art Program
To raise general awareness and profile of the collection and the contribution of public art, there need to be supporting initiatives including an
enhanced website and mapping technology, publication (eg. tour brochure/information guide), interpretative signage, promotional strategies that
fit within larger contexts (e.g. tourism, economic development) and community engagement initiatives. This will strengthen understanding of
the Public Art Program and increase accessibility for community partners and District staff.
Recommendation: Prepare and implement a communication strategy with an initial focus on developing promotional and educational tools
in various media to educate and inform the general public, community collaborators, municipal departments and business/developers.
2. Public Art Inter-departmental Meetings
Much will be gained by including public art as a public cultural amenity and enhancement. Convening meetings for the coordination/
consultation between parks, planning and engineering departments and the public art program with respect to projects under consideration
will contribute to better integration and cultural planning needs being met. The municipality encourages the practise of a collaborative
framework and processes in achieving shared goals and the community’s vision. This will allow for capitalizing on opportunities and for planning
appropriate scale to fit the size of the projects.
Recommendation: Encourage the integration of public art considerations into early stages of project management processes of
appropriate District construction projects in Parks and Leisure Services, Planning and Engineering. The Arts and Community Connections
Manager will convene public art inter-departmental meetings with representatives from various departments who may be interested or
impacted as needed. Meetings will include the Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee as appropriate.
3. Collections Maintenance and Management
Stewardship of the public realm and assets is a District responsibility. As the number of public artworks grows in the collection, there is a need
to have good practices and guidelines to document the collection and inform the maintenance of the collection. Most of the works currently
in the collection have a lifespan of +15 years. Regular maintenance will contribute to the life of the work and deter vandalism. Currently
maintenance is carried out on an as-needed basis. The need for regular (annual) inspection increases along with a need for remedial repairs as
some artworks age. Artists’ moral rights with respect to their work bring duty of care obligations for the municipality.
Recommendation: Dedicate funds in each year from the budget into a maintenance reserve towards work in conservation, annual
inspections, restorations/repairs, collections management database, tools/resources and maintenance plan with the goal to enhance and fulfill
the life expectancy of works in the public art collection. Maintenance priorities and a percentage from each project (up to 20%) should be
reviewed annually for adequacy in meeting plan goals. Therefore a maintenance reserve fund should be established according to municipal
policy and guidelines.

4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
The District of Maple Ridge may consider the offer of donations of artwork and funds. The District and Committee recognize the various ways of
building the collection including the accessioning of new artworks, acquisition of existing artworks or acceptance of gifts/donations of public art
and funds. All offers of public artwork to the District, whether for sale, or in the form of a gift, will be reviewed by the Committee, which will in
turn make recommendation to Council. To accomplish this task there needs to be a more detailed and comprehensive set of review guidelines for
donations/gifts and program structure.
Recommendation: Explore, research and establish detailed review guidelines for donations/gifts that will assist in the evaluation of proposed
voluntary public art donations/gifts from private sources. The guidelines will include acceptance conditions, artistic and technical evaluation, public
consultation and other factors to consider in the evaluation. An amendment to public art policy to include a donations/gifts program will be proposed
in the 2015 business plan.
b. Private Development Public Art Program
Public art in the community may grow through partnerships with institutional and private developers with projects located on sites throughout the
municipality and with the focus to those sites in the downtown area as a start. Discussions are underway with Planning Department staff to explore
a framework for the program, which will be guided by further discussions with developers, committee and other internal departments.
Recommendation: Work with the Planning Department to explore feasibility of a private development public art program in the 2015 business
plan with the objective to recommend introducing and implementing an appropriate program framework in 2016 for Council’s consideration and
encourage participation in 2017. This recognizes the importance of partnerships in developing a mature public art program.
5. Strategic Planning Cycle
A regular assessment of the program in relationship to the various community developments and opportunities will assure the viable recognition and
integration of the program with the District’s neighbourhood planning and fair sharing of community benefits. It is important to recognize that a Public
Art Program is not static, but evolves over time.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the program be reviewed at least every five years to reflect changes and growth and to be open to the
greatest possible number of opportunities to celebrate community through public art.

‘‘PREPARED BY LYNNE WERKER I JUNE 2014 MAPLE RIDGE PUBLIC ART STEERING COMMITEESTRATEGIC FRAMEWORK REPORT 2014-2018 16
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS
The Maple Ridge Public Art Steering Committee undertook a stakeholder engagement process to inform
its work and objectives over the next five years. The Committee gathered information from the community
about potential public art sites and opportunities. A number of locations were suggested and are worthy
for consideration as sites for public art. They include existing and future District and private development
projects in and outside the downtown core. In addition to listing themes and stories pertaining to legacy and
traditions, the possibility of collaborative opportunities and emerging cultural patterns were discussed. The
list is not exhaustive. The conversation is ongoing. The strategic framework is intended as the Committee’s
reference document and will inform priority setting and decision-making over the next few years.
The Committee understands its mandate of managing and administering the Public Art Program. In order to
support this work and mission, the Committee has identified five areas of strategic focus. The Committee has
recognized that their meetings with stakeholders provided substantial information and was a good way to
inform the development of the program and their work. As well, the conversations revealed opportunities for
connection and collaboration. The Committee is recommending that consultation and planning be ongoing
processes and integral to the administration, planning and implementation of the public art program. The
supporting activities being recommended are to inform future planning and direction:
1. Education and awareness of the public art program
2. Public Art Interdepartmental Meetings
3. Collections Maintenance and management
4. Public Art Program Development
a. Public Art Donation/Gift Program
b. Private Development Public Art Program
5. Strategic planning cycle
These activities are included in the Strategic Framework and are reflected in the budget for 2014-2018.
With the adoption of the recommendations of this report Maple Ridge can look forward to maturing a public art
program that is distinct and relevant to the communities and neighbourhoods of Maple Ridge.
Artists can help redefine the
meaning of a site no matter
how boring the site may appear.
Answers to questions stimulate
the imagination and inform the
unique opportunities the site
offers as well as the meanings
the artwork can communicate.

their respective leases be renewed until December 30, 2016 which is in alignment with their Fee for
Service agreements. The following leases are expiring:
Maple Ridge:
- The Brick Yard House & Office
- St. Andrew’s Church

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
A one year renewal period is being recommended as staff and each society agree that there is an
opportunity to update the leases and operating agreements in a manner that better supports the
heritage and archival programs and services. This one-year renewal will allow time for this
process.
Both Societies are non-profit, charitable organizations that work to collect, research, exhibit and
preserve the communities’ heritage information, artifacts and photographs. The Maple Ridge
Historical Society manages four historic buildings that include the Maple Ridge Museum,
Brickyard Office, St. Andrews Heritage Church and Old Post Office. Similarly the Pitt Meadows
Museum Society is responsible for two historic buildings: Pitt Meadows Museum (General Store)
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows

REGULAR MEETING
April 9, 2015
and Hoffman Shop. These groups are considered the trustees of the communities’ memories,
history and archives.
The Pitt Meadows Heritage and Museum Society and the Maple Ridge Historical Society are
established organizations that are serving the citizens of Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows through
programs and exhibits for all ages, collections management, and operation of the historical sites
located in both Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows. Both Societies strive to make history and stories
accessible and interesting.
b) Desired Outcome:
A robust and engaged cultural sector that develops a sense of community and cultural
vitality, enhances local economic benefits, attracts tourists and participants, develops
volunteerism and improves quality of life that contributes to retaining and attracting
existing and new residents and businesses.
c) Strategic Alignment:
Recommendations align with the 2010 Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan
directions (6.5 Cultural Facilities, Arts Culture and Heritage), the Commission’s Asset
Based Community Development and Volunteer Policies.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The proposed renewals are in keeping with the business plan goals. In addition, efficiencies will
be recognized by aligning the expiry date of all agreements. There is no financial implication to
the lease renewals, however the fee for service is included in the funding allotment in the 2014-
2018 approved financial plans.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Maple Ridge Historical Society and Pitt Meadows Museum Society have been good long term
lease partners which provide much needed heritage services to the community.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: May 26, 2015
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Mayor’s Open Government Task Force
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Mayor’s Open Government Task Force (MOGTF) was formed on January 5, 2015. The MOGTF
provides monthly progress reports to Council and this report continues that process.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
No resolution required.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
On January 5, 2015 the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force (MOGTF) was established to
develop recommendations that will strengthen accountability and transparency at City Hall and
increase citizen’s understanding of and contribution to decision-making. Mayor Read, Councillor
Bell and Councillor Shymkiw were appointed as the Council liaisons to this Task Force.
The MOGTF recommendation to livestream and post recordings of Council Workshop Meetings
and Committee of the Whole Meetings in addition to the Regular Council Meetings has been in
place for some weeks now and appears to be well received.
The MOGTF recommendation to make basic information on contracts that the City has entered
into available and accessible to the public is nearing completion. The work included the
development of a data collection template, procedures to ensure that all relevant contract data
is captured, an on-line display and search tool for public viewing, as well as oversight procedures.
The template is now being populated with contract data by all Departments. This work will
complete within the next week, at which time the information will be published on the City’s
website.
The formation of the Citizens Representatives Working Group (CRWG) has progressed through a
number of steps including the selection of Ms. Katherine Wagner as the Chair, the development
of the groups Terms of Reference, as well as the volunteer recruitment and interview process to
select the CRWG members. Biographies and contact information for the CRWG can be found at
http://www.mapleridge.ca/999/Citizens-Reps-Working-Group-Biographies.
The CRWG has been tasked with gathering input from a broad range of citizens to determine the
type of information that citizens want greater access to. As part of this work the CRWG is holding
two public input nights. The first was planned for Thursday, May 21, and the second will take
place on Wednesday June 3, 2015. The upcoming session will run from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the
Blaney Room at City Hall. Citizens can send a written response to the CRWG using
1201
2
opengovernment@mapleridge.ca or can make a verbal presentation at the upcoming session. To
schedule a time to present to the CRWG, citizens can make a request through the e-mail address
provided or call Ingrid Kraus at 604-467-7347.
The CRWG has posed two questions for citizens to respond to:
1)Is the information that is currently available easy to find and easy to understand? In other
words, is it useful?
2)Is there any information that is currently not available that should be?
Once the CRWG has finished gathering citizen feedback, they will formulate their
recommendations to bring forward to the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force. The CRWG is
expected to complete their recommendations by the end of June. These recommendations will
help to inform the recommendations that the MOGTF will bring forward to Council in July, 2015.
b)Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to strengthen accountability and transparency at City Hall and to
increase citizens’ understanding, access and contribution to decision-making
c)Strategic Alignment:
This recommendation aligns with Council’s Strategic Direction on Governance to function as an
open government with the greatest possible access by citizens to information and opportunity for
engagement in decision-making processes.
d)Citizen/Customer Implications:
The task force’s work will result in increased opportunities for citizens to participate in civic
matters through enhanced transparency, accountability and accessibility to information which
will enable citizens to become more active, empowered and engaged participants.
e)Interdepartmental Implications:
The task force will require input from a number of departments and the resulting priorities as
determined by Council will direct department work plans.
f)Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There is likely a need for modest funding to accommodate education and engagement activities.
The task force will bring a request back to Council once these funding needs are defined.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Citizen Representatives Working Group is an important mechanism for gathering information
that will contribute significantly to the work of the MOGTF. Once the CRWG has completed its public
engagement process, the group will formulate recommendations to forward to the Mayor’s Open
Government Task Force for consideration when the MOGTF develops recommendations for Council.
Updates will continue to be brought forward to Council and to the public on a monthly basis as this
work progresses.

Mayor’s Open Government Task Force
Citizen Representatives Working Group
Terms of Reference
The Citizen Representatives Working Group (CRWG) was established February 10, 2015 per the
Terms of Reference of the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force (MOGTF). The role of the CRWG is
to operate as an independent body that will gather citizen feedback and prepare recommendations
to bring forward to the MOGTF on how the City can increase accountability, transparency, and
citizen’s understanding of and contribution to decision-making.
Purpose
The purpose of this working group is to provide recommendations to the Mayor’s Open Government
Task Force that will:
1.Increase citizen’s access to the information that they want to receive.
2.Increase citizen participation, engagement and collaboration in community issues.
3.Increase citizen’s satisfaction with the transparency and accountability of the City.
Mandate
The Citizen Representatives Working Group will:
1.Engage citizens to provide input on the type of information that they are seeking from the City
as well as the preferred format, function and means by which they would like to access this
information.
2. Develop recommendations that will contribute to a gold standard program of engagement,
accountability and transparency regarding an open government system, and present these
recommendations to the Mayor’s Open Government Task Force.
Citizen input will be a pivotal component of the CRWG’s work. It will be up to the CRWG to
determine the most effective approach to gather this input.
While the CRWG is invited make recommendations on preferred tools or approaches, it is outside of
their scope of work to deliver recommendations on specific delivery tools, pricing and cost trade-offs.
In addition, the CRWG is not tasked with making recommendations on systems or tools that support
business as this work will be conducted through another venue.
Lastly, the intention is for the CRWG’s recommendations to inform the MOGTF’s work. However, the
recommendations that will be brought forward to Council are the work of the MOGTF as is oversight
of the implementation of those recommendations.
4
Members
Katherine Wagner is the Chair of the Citizen Representatives Working Group. The CRWG Chair will
select the membership of this working group in collaboration with the Chair of the MOGTF or her
designate. Once membership selection is complete, the Chair and Members will determine the
process by which citizen engagement will be accomplished and the process by which they will develop
those recommendations.
Non-members
In order to maintain the independent function of the CRWG, it will not include City Council Members
including those on the MOGTF or City employees. However, other participants may be invited at the

recorded and made available on the City website to increase public access.

may not be possible and in that case, the CRWG will have quorum if a majority of the members are
in attendance.
