Mr. Schneiter outlined a proposed public art project utilizing an old maple tree. The
tree is estimated to be 180 years old and one of the oldest in the area. The tree was
cut down earlier this year due to rot and the property was sold for redevelopment
(Lougheed and 216). Mr. Schneiter shared some of his experiences working with
wood (details at www.mapleart.ca) and shared some ideas for making use of the
tree. The Committee recognized the value of the tree and its history. Some
concerns raised included the limitation of integration/ site specificity of the work,
indoor placement, weight load and additional installation costs for the sliced burl
proposal.
Note: Andres Schneiter and Patricia Huntsman left the meeting at 3:45 pm.
The Committee discussed the proposal made by Mr. Schneiter.

represented about 30% of the requested amount. There was huge competition for

the grant and in the final round Canadian Heritage focused on supporting celebratory
activities and programs and eliminated the consideration of legacy monument
projects. Therefore the awarded amount will be directed towards the 3 community
public art projects, First Nations exhibition and performance at the ACT Arts Centre,
play box and heritage geocaching and the related expenses attached to each as
submitted in the application. The Staff Liaison will follow up with a recast to the
budget and cash flow and complete the contribution agreement with the Federal
government.
Discussion ensued regarding the legacy gateway and recognition projects. The
Committee has dedicated funds in its budget towards the gateways and Council has
also approved some funds recently for the recognition project through a separate
mechanism.
Note: Wayne Bissky left at 4:51 pm. The Committee Clerk left at 5:00 pm. (Minutes were then

OBJECTIVES & POLICIES
Property Tax Revenue
Property tax revenue is the City’s primary revenue source, and one which is heavily reliant on the
residential class. Diversification of the tax base and generation of non-tax revenue are ongoing
objectives, outlined in Financial Sustainability Policy 5.52 section 6.
The Financial Plan includes property tax increases that are as listed below:
2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
General Purpose 2.10% 1.90% 1.90% 2.00% 2.00%
Infrastructure Replacement 0.50% 0.70% 0.70% 0.70% 0.70%
Parks & Recreation 0.25% 0.25% 0.25% 0.25% 0.25%
Drainage 0.30% 0.30% 0.30% 0.30% 0.30%
Total Property Tax Increase 3.15% 3.15% 3.15% 3.25% 3.25%
Additional information on the tax increases and the cost drivers can be found in the most recent
Financial Plan Overview Report. Specific policies discussing the tax increases are included in the
Financial Sustainability Plan and related policies which were adopted in 2004.
Property tax revenue includes property taxes as well as grants in lieu of property taxes.
Parcel Charges
Parcel charges are comprised of a recycling charge, a sewer charge and on some properties, a local
area service or improvement charge. Parcel charges are a useful tool to charge all or a subset of
properties for a fixed or variable amount to support services. Unlike property taxation the variable
amount does not need to be related to property assessment value, but can be something that more
accurately reflects the cost of the service.

Statement 2 (cont.)
Revenue and Property Tax Policy Disclosure
Fees & Charges
Fees should be reviewed annually and updated if needed. Recent fee amendments include
recreation fees, development application fees, business license fees and cemetery fees. A major
amendment to the Development Costs Charges (DCC), recommended no more frequently than every
five years, was completed in 2008. Minor DCC amendments are done more frequently. Some fees
are used to offset the costs of providing specific services. The utility fees are reviewed annually with
a view towards using rate stabilization practices to smooth out large fluctuations in rates, as set out
in the Business Planning Guidelines.
Borrowing Proceeds
Debt is used when it makes sense, and with caution as it commits future cash flows to debt
payments, restricting the ability to use these funds to provide other services. The source of the debt
payments needs to be considered as does the justification for advancing the project. More
information on previously approved borrowing can be found in the most recent Financial Plan
Overview report.
Other Sources
This will vary greatly year to year as it includes:
• Development fees which fund capital projects from the DCC Reserve
• Contribution from others in relation to capital
• Grants which are sought from various agencies and may be leveraged with City funds

Revenue and Property Tax Policy Disclosure
PROPERTY TAX DISCLOSURE
Objectives & Policies
Property taxes are the City’s largest source of revenue and are contained by efficient business
practices. Annual business planning practices are the mechanism for resource allocation decisions.
The City’s Financial Sustainability Policy section 6 discusses the necessity of diversifying the tax
base. Development of employment-related properties is one method of diversification; therefore a
key performance measurement in Economic Development tracks the increased investment and
development of non-residential properties.
A policy in the Financial Sustainability Plan that calls for stable tax increases and the adoption of the
annual increase early in the prior year in the Business Planning Guidelines provides citizens with a
more stable and predictable set of cost increases. In some cases costs are phased in over multiple
years to stay within the set tax increases.
Property Tax Rates
It is policy to adjust property tax rates annually to negate the impact of fluctuations in the market
values of properties. Tax rates are reduced to negate the market increases. Property tax increases
are then applied at the same relative increase for all classes, unless legislation restricts the rates, as
with Class 2, Utility.
The Business Class and Light Industry Class properties have the same tax rate and are treated as a
composite class when setting the tax rates, as the types of businesses in each class are similar. In
2016, the increase was reduced from 3.15% to 1.85% to reduce the relative property tax burden for
these properties.
A review was done on the Major Industry Class rates and the recommendation from the Audit and
Finance Committee and Council was a 5% property tax reduction in both 2009 and 2010 to support
additional investments in the subject property and to keep rates competitive. In 2014 and 2015,
property taxes charged to major industrial class properties were reduced by $70,000 in each year.
In reviewing tax rates to ensure competitiveness, absolute rates, tax multiples and overall tax burden
are considered. The impact that assessed values have when comparing to other geographical areas
must be considered in a comparison of tax rates.
Permissive Tax Exemptions
Council has set policies around the use of permissive tax exemptions. These are Council Policies
5.19 through 5.24. These policies discuss Churches, Community Halls, Heritage Sites, Homes for the
Care of Children and the Relief of the Aged, the Poor, the Disabled and the Infirm, Municipal
Recreational Services, Private Hospitals and Daycares, Private School and Youth Recreation Groups.
Revitalization Tax Exemption Program
The Employment Land Investment Incentive Program is designed to encourage job creation by
supporting private investment in buildings and infrastructure on identified "employment lands".
More information on this tax exemption can be found on our website.

Capital Expenditure Disclosure
The sole purpose of this statement is to meet legislative requirements and highlight the value of the
DCC program; no other conclusions should be drawn from the figures as the information could be
misconstrued. This disclosure is required under the Local Government Act s. 560 (2); capital costs
attributable to projects to be partially funded by Development Cost Charges (DCC) must be included
in the financial plan. The DCC program includes projects as far out as 2035 so the capital
expenditures must be extended to match. Certain types of projects are not planned past the five year
time horizon of the financial plan. Much less scrutiny is given to projects that are planned in years
2021 through 2035. Projects in these years typically exceed likely funding available.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land fro m the Agricultural Land Reserve
9881 280 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
exclude approximately 3.9 hectares (9.7 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The
Applicant’s submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land
Commission. The applicant seeks to legitimize the current uses on the subject property, described
as a home based repair business and truck parking.
There are numerous challenges to this application ultimately being successful. The uses proposed
are industrial and expressly prohibited as home occupation uses. For this reason, legitimizing these
uses would require rezoning the subject property, and amending its current Agricultural land use
designation. Approval at local, regional, and provincial levels of government would be required.
Over the years, there have been numerous reports for exclusion applications prepared for Council
consideration. Typically these reports emphasize the policy context of the Official Community Plan
and the implications for supporting agriculture within the community. These considerations
continue to be pertinent to this application. However, as specific land uses are proposed with this
application, the focus of this report will be the implications and the required process for legitimizing
these industrial uses on the subject property.
The recommendations provided in this report are in accordance with previous Council direction. For
this reason, specific direction is not provided. However, Council is advised that approving this
application to proceed would imply support for rezoning the property, and amending its land use
designation. As Metro Vancouver support would also be required, this process would be onerous.
RECOMMENDATION:
The following resolutions are provided for Council’s consideration:
a)That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land
Commission;
b)That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission
with a summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

Legal Description: Lot: 2, Section: 5, Township: 15, Plan: NWP3949
b) Project Description:
This application for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended to legitimize an existing
use that does not comply with permitted uses in the Agricultural Land Reserve or under the subject
property’s RS-3 One Family Rural Residential zoning. The subject property is being used for vehicle
repair and truck parking.
- 3 -
Based on ortho photo records, it is apparent that this use has been in existence since before 2011.
A non-farm use application (2012-073-AL) was made previously in support of these uses. At their
regular meeting on August 28, 2012, Council denied forwarding the application to the Commission.
Council did not support this industrial use in the rural area but recognized that it was the property
owner’s livelihood. For this reason, Council wanted to give the property owner the opportunity to
transition the operation to legal conformity. It appears that this operation has not scaled back since
that time. There is no record of a business licence ever being in effect for this use on the subject
property.
The Licences, Permits, and Bylaws Department confirms that bylaw enforcement actions are
currently being pursued on the subject property, in collaboration with staff from the Agricultural Land
Commission.
c) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining
legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for exclusion from the
Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring
applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
This process for decision making for an application for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council resolved
that the process for referring applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include
the following options:
That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
- 4 -
Zoning Bylaw
Should this exclusion application be successful, the existing RS-3 Zoning on the subject property will
remain, and the permitted uses under that zone will prevail. Home occupation uses are supported
in residential zones, but are limited to avoid potential conflicts with residential uses. Motor vehicle
repair is not permitted as a home occupation use in the Zoning Bylaw , and only one vehicle may be
used in connection with the home occupation. Both of these limitations would prohibit the current
use of the subject property, which involves vehicle and truck repair and the parking of multiple
vehicles, including trucks and trailers. For this reason, rezoning to industrial would be required to
legitimize this use on the subject property.
Agricultural Land Commission - Home Occupation
ALC Policy L-07 Home Occupation defines home occupation as follows:
home occupation means a use that is accessory to a residential use of a property where
a resident carries on a profession or occupation that is clearly incidental to the primary
use of the land and, for ALC purposes, is entirely contained within a dwelling or a
building accessory to a dwelling for such businesses that require a small area of outside
space from time to time.
Commission policy is comparatively liberal in its range of permitted uses as a home occupation, but
sets a maximum footprint of 100 square metres, which is twice the size permitted in the Maple
Ridge Zoning Bylaw. The footprint occupied by the non-conforming use greatly exceeds the
maximum set by Commission policy.
Commercial and Industrial Strategy – Home Based Business
One of the outcomes of the Commercial and Industrial Strategy, endorsed in 2014, was the
emphasis on the potential for expanding opportunities for home based business. The Planning
Department and the Economic Development Office have been collaborating towards advancing this
initiative. A likely recommendation resulting from this work will be an expansion of the space
allocation for the home occupation use, particularly in rural areas. However, there will continue to be
an emphasis on permitting only those uses with minimal potential for conflicts in residential or
agricultural settings. For this reason, unless otherwise directed by Council, vehicle and truck repair
will likely remain as a prohibited use in residential zones.
Official Community Plan - Industrial Policies
The Official Community Plan recognizes that additional employment generating industrial lands are
needed in the community, and provides locational criteria for assessing site suitability. Towards this
purpose, Policy 6-41 states:
The identification of additional employment generating lands is a priority for the District
(sic). Maple Ridge will evaluate alternate locations for a large block or blocks of
additional employment generating land to support the growth of the employment sector
in the future. Local parameters for suitable industrial land may include, but is not
limited to:
a. land that is relatively flat;
b. land that is conducive to industrial development;
- 5 -
c. land this is contiguous to a full range of municipal services;
d. land that is strategically located near the Regional transportation network.
As the site is located in an agricultural context, reliant on on-site services, and remote from the
Regional Transportation network, the locational criteria for land conversion to industrial uses have
not been met. In addition, the employment generating potential of this owner operator business is
not likely to provide sufficient economic benefits to justify the redesignation of this land to industrial
uses. Based on the policies of the Official Community Plan, this non agricul tural use would trigger
the need for an agricultural impact assessment by a qualified professional, as the property will
continue to be adjacent to agricultural land.
Regional Growth Strategy
The subject property is designated Agriculture in the Regional Growth Strategy, which is under the
jurisdiction of Metro Vancouver. In order to convert this land to an Industrial designation, an
amendment process would be required. The Regional Growth Strategy identifies this required
process as a Type 2 Amendment, requiring a two-thirds weighted majority vote of the Metro
Vancouver Board and a regional public hearing.
Interdepartmental Implications
As noted, the current use is not permitted on the subject property, and bylaw enforcement action is
being pursued by municipal staff. Although no business license has been issued, it is clear that this
use has been in existence for several years. Landscape modifications include a gravel parking lot
that is used for parking trucks and heavy machinery. The Building Department confirms that such a
use would require the installation of mechanisms in the parking lot to prevent petroleum residues
from infiltrating into soils. Such a mechanism would need to be designed and approved by a
qualified engineer. The design of a waste water treatment process would also need to be provided.
There are no records on file to suggest that this work has been done.
Agricultural Plan
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan was endorsed by Council in December 2009. Goal 13 of the Plan,
titled Protect and Enhance the Agricultural Context of the Agricultural Land Reserve, states the
objective that “land use designations in the Agricultural Land Reserve reflect the primacy of
agriculture as the highest and preferred land use.
Recommendation (b) of Goal 13 states:
Create a code of good land stewardship in the Agricultural Land Reserve (abandoned
cars, trailers, machinery, trash, obsolete signage, dumped soil) to prevent contamination
and visual pollution (batteries, crankcase oil, unproductive fill).
This current land use on the subject property does not reflect this objective.
Citizen Implications.
A number of letters have been received by concerned citizens in response to this application. These
will be forwarded to the Commission should this application be successful. The concerns expressed
include noise from the movement of trucks to and from the site, the damage done to 280 th Street
from heavy truck traffic, and the potential for site contamination given the potential for spilling fuels,
- 6 -
oils, and coolant from the equipment on the site. Mapping information, attached as Appendix C,
shows site details, fish bearing streams and properties in this vicinity relying on groundwater for
their water supply.
CONCLUSION:
In accordance with Council direction for processing exclusion applications, no specific
recommendation is provided. However, Council is advised to consider the implications of forwarding
this application to the Agricultural Land Commission. If the Commission agreed to the exclusion of
this property, the next steps to bring this property into legal conformance would involve rezoning and
redesignating this property for industrial uses. An amendment to the Regional Growth Strategy
would be required. However, this non-conforming use is at odds with the agricultural context of the
subject property. In addition, the locational criteria for conversion to industrial land uses, outlined in
the Official Community Plan, have not been met. There are considerable challenges involved in
legitimizing this use. The community benefits do not appear sufficient to justify the conversion of
this land to industrial uses.

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No.7308-2017
20185 and 20199 McIvor Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the property located at 20199 McIvor Avenue, from RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential). The
second property, located at 20185 McIvor Avenue, is currently and will remain zoned RS-1b (One
Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential). Together, the two subject properties will permit
subdivision into approximately nine RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zoned
lots. The property located at 20199 McIvor Avenue was excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve
(ALR) in 2003; however, it is currently designated Agricultural on Schedule B of the Official
Community Plan (OCP), and will require an amendment to:
Include the subject property, located at 20199 McIvor Avenue, within the Urban Area
Boundary; and
Change the land use designation from Agricultural to Urban Residential.
Pursuant to Council resolution, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution
Program. To proceed further with this application, additional information is required as outlined
below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the
development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether
consultation is required with specifically:
i.The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the
case of a Municipal Official Community Plan;
ii.The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iii.The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan;
iv.First Nations;
v.Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and
vi.The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies.
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this
matter beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together
with an invitation to the public to comment, and;
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7308-2017 be given first reading; and
1102
- 2 -
That the applicant provide further information, as described on Schedules A and B of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a
Subdivision application.

b) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties are a combined 0.54 ha’s (1.33 acres) in size and are bound by residential
properties to the west, south and east, and Agricultural land to the north. The subject properties are
relatively flat with some trees located near the McIvor Street frontage, and along the east and west
property boundaries. There is an existing house at 20199 McIvor Avenue that will require removal
- 3 -
as part of final rezoning conditions. The second property at 20185 McIvor Avenue is currently vacant
(see Appendix B).
c) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone the property located at 20199 McIvor Avenue, from RS-1 (One
Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) (see Appendix
C). The second property, located at 20185 McIvor Avenue, is already zoned RS-1b (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential), and will also form part of this rezoning application, to permit
future subdivision into approximately nine single family residential lots (see Appendix D).
The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) excluded the property located at 20199 McIvor Avenue in
2003 from the ALR. In addition, this property is designated “General Urban” in the Metro Vancouver
Regional Growth Strategy; therefore, Regional approvals are not required. The surrounding context
of the subject properties to the west, south and east are considered Urban Residential in the OCP.
The applicant intends to develop the subject properties in accordance with this designation. Lands
to the north, designated Agricultural, are currently being farmed for pasture grass and hay. An
agricultural buffer will be provided between the proposed residential development to the south, and
the agricultural lands to the north.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the OCP and
provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full
application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be
required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields,
OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development
permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
One of the subject properties, located at 20199 McIvor Avenue, is currently designated Agricultural;
however, the property was excluded from the ALR in 2003. The adopted Metro Vancouver Regional
Growth Strategy identifies the subject property as ‘General Urban’ and has been placed within the
regions Urban Containment Boundary. The subject property is also within the Greater Vancouver
Sewerage and Drainage District’s Fraser Sewer Area, and is permitted to be serviced with the
municipal sanitary sewer; therefore, no Regional approvals are required.
The following OCP amendments are required to align the subject property with the Metro Vancouver
Regional Growth Strategy:
To include the subject property, located at 20199 McIvor Avenue, in the Urban Area
Boundary; and
To change the designation from Agricultural to Urban Residential.
The property located at 20185 McIvor Avenue is designated Urban Residential in the OCP. The
current zone of RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) aligns with this designation
and the property will be combined with 20199 McIvor Avenue for future subdivision into nine single
family residential lots.
- 4 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 20199 McIvor Avenue from RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential). The
property located at 20185 McIvor Avenue is already zoned RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential), and will form part of the subject application. The combined properties will then
permit future subdivision into approximately nine single family residential lots.
The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668 m2 (7,191 ft²),
and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
zone is 557 m2 (5,996 ft²). Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a
Development Variance Permit application. Pursuant to Council resolution, this application is subject
to the Community Amenity Contribution Program
Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project;
therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application as an OCP amendment is
required. Prior to second reading, the applicant is required to host a Development Information
Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Licences, Permits & Bylaws Department;
e) School District;
f) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and
g) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it
is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed
OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment.
- 5 -
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and
3. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal will require an OCP amendment, from Agricultural to Urban Residential,
for the property located at 20199 McIvor Ave, to align with the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth
Strategy, and to align with the ALC’s decision to exclude the property from the ALR. The proposed
zoning to the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone complies with the Urban
Residential designation, and fits with the surrounding neighbourhood. It is, therefore, recommended
that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior
to second reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: Second reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7247-2016
12358 216 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 12358 216 Street from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to
permit a future subdivision of approximately two lots. Council granted first reading to Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7247-2016 on May 24, 2016. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One
Family Urban Residential) zone is 668m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One
Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557m2.
This application is in compliance with the OCP.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7247-2016 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
2)That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management;
ii)Removal of existing building;
iii)In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional
Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks on the
subject property(ies). If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that
the subject property is not a contaminated site.

1) Background Context:
Applicant: Gurlal Rakhra
Legal Description: Lot “B” District Lot 245 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan74894
OCP:
Existing: Urban Residential
Zoning:
Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)

North: Use: Single Family Residential

Designation: Urban Residential
Existing Use of Property: Residential
Site Area: 0.113 ha (0.28 acres)
Access: 216 Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to permit future
development into two Single Family residential lots, not less than 557m2. Access for each lot is
proposed to be from 216 Street. There is a residential building on the subject property, which will
require removal as a condition of rezoning.
- 3 -
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Urban Area Boundary and is currently designated Urban
Residential, subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP. These policies require that
development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to
site design setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the are a. The
proposed rezoning to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) is in conformance with
the Urban Residential designation and infill policies. No OCP amendment will be required for the
proposed development.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 12358 216 Street, from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to
permit future subdivision into two lots. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) zone is 668 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557 m2.
Proposed lot 2 does not meet the minimum lot width requirement of 15 metres for the RS-1b (One
Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. Therefore, a Development Variance Permit
application to relax the lot width of approximately 0.75 metre will be required. The variance will be
subject of a future Council report.
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project (2016-034-VP) and
involves the following relaxations (see Appendix D):
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Schedule “D”, Minimum Lot Area and
Dimensions; to reduce the minimum lot width from 15.0m to 14.16m.
The requested variances will be the subject of a future Council report.
4) Environmental Implications:
The Arborist Report prepared by Arbortech Consulting identifies one tree on site for retention (#979
located in the southern yard, near the proposed property line between lot 1 and 2), and protection of
4 off site trees in the neighbouring eastern and southern property boundary. Tree protection barriers
will be a requirement for this site, as outlined in the report. The requirement for replacement trees
on site will be a minimum of two trees, not including street trees as identied through the Subdivision
Servicing Agreement. Demolishing or clearing of the property cannot happen until the Tree Permit is
issued, and Tree Protection Barrier fencing is in place.
-4 -
CONCLUSION:
As this application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan, it is recommended that second
reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7247-2016, and that application 2016-034-RZ be
forwarded to Public Hearing.

Hill Road, just before it bends and turns into 236 Street (see Appendices A and B). A
tributary to Cottonwood Creek is located in the north-central portion of the property, with
steep slopes located on the western side of the property.
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of approximately
43 townhouse units.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw and Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw establish general
minimum and maximum regulations for multi-family development. A Development Variance
Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below (see Appendix C):
- 3 -
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule C –
Standard Drawings and Specifications: To reduce the required asphalt width from
5.8m (19 ft.) to 4.3m (14.1 ft) to eliminate the parking lane on Gilker Hill Road.
This reduction in asphalt width is supported as on-street parking is not supported at this
location due to the steep grades and road geometry.
2. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 6. a): To reduce the minimum
front yard setback from 7.5m (24.6 ft.) to:
i. 7.0m (23 ft.) to the building face for Blocks 1, 2, and 3, and for Units 18A3
and 19A in Block 4;
ii. 6.0m (19.7 ft.) to the building face for Units 20A and 21A1 in Block 4; and
iii. 4.5m (14.8 ft.) to the building face for Unit 43A1 in Block 10.
3. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 6. a): To reduce the minimum
rear yard setback from 7.5m (24.6 ft.) to:
i. 4.0m (13.1 ft.) to the building face for Unit 22D in Block 5;
ii. 4.3m (14.1 ft.) to the buildinlg face for Units 23C and 24C in Block 5; and
iii. 4.5m (14.8 ft.) to the building face for Unti 37A3 in Block 9.
These setback reductions are supported as the property is restricted by a meandering
environmental and geotechnical stability line which narrows the developable area of the
property. Block 10 is not adjacent to residential development and the setback reduction for
Block 4 is minor in nature and greater than what the setback is proposed to be in the new
Zoning Bylaw which is currently under review.
4. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 7. a): To increase the maximum
building height from 11.0 m (36 ft.) to:
i. 11.7 m (38.4 ft.) for Block 1;
ii. 11.5 m (37.7 ft.) for Block 2;
iii. 11.4 m (37.4 ft.) for Block 3;
iv. 11.3 m (37.0 ft.) for Blocks 4 and 8;
v. 11.5 m (37.7 ft.) for Block 7; and
vi. 11.2 m (36.7 ft.) for Blocks 9 and 10.
These increases in height are supported as there are steep grades on the property and grade
differences between the front and back of each unit. The elevations that back onto the
property to the south are not over-height; the height variances are required for the elevations
fronting the internal strata road.
5. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602, 8. d) and Part 2, Interpretation:
To reduce the minimum required Usable Open Space per 3 bedroom unit from 45 m²
(484 ft²), with a minimum dimension of not less than 6 m (19.7 ft.) to:
i. 5.8m (19 ft.) for Units 3B and 4B in Block 1, Units 8B, 9B, 10B, and 11B in
Block 2, Unit 30B in Block 7, Units 33B, 34B, and 35B in Block 8, Units 38B
and 39B in Block 9, and Unit 42B in Block 10;
ii. 4.0 m (13.1 ft.) for Unit 22D in Block 5;
iii. 4.5 m (14.8 ft.) for Units 23C and 24C in Block 5;
iv. 2.8 m (9.2 ft.) for Unit 25D in Block 5;
v. 5.8 m (19.0 ft.) for Units 26C1, 27C, and 28C1 in Block 6.
- 4 -
These variances are supported as the shortfall of 16 m² (172 ft²) of Usable Open Space is
provided in Community Amenity Space. Overall, the required amount of Community Amenity
Space is 231 m² (2,486 ft²) and 437 m² (4,704 ft²) is being provided.
6. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 403, (8): To increase the maximum
retaining wall height from 1.2 m (4 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) at its higest point.
This increase in retaining wall height is supported due to the high existing grade condition of
the neighbouring southern property and the steepness of the property access point. The
redi-rock wall construction eliminates the need for geogrid, which would encroach onto the
neighbouring southern property. Landscaping will be provided between retaining walls where
they are tiered.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all
owners or tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the
property that is subject to the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances are supported as there are geotechnical and environmental
constraints that limit the developable area of the property.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the
Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2015-253-
DVP.

2. Project Description:
The subject property, located at 23539 Gilker Hill Road, is located at the north end of Gilker Hill
Road, just before it bends and turns into 236 Street (see Appendices A and B). A tributary to
Cottonwood Creek is located in the north-central portion of the property, with steep slopes located on
the western side of the property. A significant portion of the property will be dedicated as park for
the protection of the watercourse and the steep slopes.
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of approximately 43
townhouse units in ten buildings. The buildings are in clusters of three to six units that have an
appearance of rowhouse style residences, each with a direct access to grade at the front and the
rear of the unit (see Appendix C). Due to the grading conditions on the property, all the buildings are
stepped, further reinforcing the rowhouse look.
There are three unit types of approximately 133 m² (1,434 ft²) to 190 m² (2,051 ft²), all with three
bedrooms, a flex room and an open concept great room/kitchen combination. All the units have
access to private outdoor space including covered sundecks and patios and fenced rear yards.
There are two outdoor amenity areas, one with garden plots and the other with a children’s play area.
Double-car garages are provided for 30 of the units, and tandem-style garages are provided for 13 of
the units, providing the required 86 residential parking spaces. Eleven visitor parking spaces are
provided throughout the site, with two of them sized for disabled parking spaces. Some of the
driveway aprons of individual units are also capable of providing additional off-street parking spaces
within the development.
3. Planning Analysis:
i. Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the Urban Area and is currently designated Urban Residential
and Conservation and is subject to the Major Corridor Infill policies, as it has frontage on a collector
standard road. The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is compatible with the Urban
Residential – Major Corridor Residential designation; however, an Official Community Plan (OCP)
amendment is required to adjust the Conservation area around the small tributary to Cottonwood
Creek. It should be noted that although some areas are proposed to change designation from
Conservation to Urban Residential, additional lands within the subject property will be placed under
a Restrictive Covenant for habitat protection, and will be used for enhanced stormwater
management and habitat areas.
A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit is required for all new multi-family development on
land designated Urban Residential on Schedule B of the OCP. Section 8.7, Multi-Family
Development Permit Area Guidelines of the OCP aims to regulate the form and character of
development located within this area.
- 3 -
This development respects the key guideline concepts as outlined in this section:
1. New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate
local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and
massing.
“This proposed infill project is complementary to the many new townhouse projects in the
area. It respects the existing context (neighbourhood in transition with setbacks, solid
fencing, landscaping and compatible massing).”
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.
“The proposed rear yard grading adjacent to single family houses is either matching the
existing grade or lower. The proposed basements are a minimum of 2 m (6 ft.) lower than
the rear yard so the building appear to be two storeys in height.”
3. Large scale developments should be clustered and given architectural separation to
foster a sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness.
“The development is clustered and designed as a unified form and character, yet has
enough variety through material choice and colour to add visual interest.”
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.
“Extensive landscape planting is provided along entry of the project. The development entry
is marked with an entry gate and low stone walls.”
ii. Zoning Bylaw:
The subject property is proposed to be rezoned from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1
(Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of 43 townhouse units. The maximum allowable
density of the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) is a floor space ratio of 0.6 times the net lot area,
excluding a maximum of 50 m² of habitable basement area per unit. This development has a floor
space ratio of 0.57, so it is within the allowable maximum density.
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following variances:
1. reduce the required asphalt width from 5.8 m (19 ft.) to 4.3 m (14.1 ft.) to eliminate the
parking lane;
2. reduce the minimum front yard setback for Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10, from 7 m (23 ft.)
down to 4.5 m (14.8 ft.) at its shortest distance;
3. reduce the minimum rear yard setback for Blocks 5 and 9, from 6 m (20ft.) down to 4 m
(13.1 ft.) at its shortest distance;
- 4 -
4. increase the maximum building height for Blocks 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 from 11 m (36
ft.) up to 11.7 m (38.4 ft.) at its tallest point;
5. reduce the minimum required Usable Open Space per three bedroom unit with a
minimum dimension of not less than 6 m (20 ft.) for Blocks 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10,
down to 2.8 m (9.2 ft.) for its shortest length; and
6. increase the maximum retaining wall height from 1.2 m (4 ft.) to 3.5 m (11.5 ft.) at its
highest point.
The requested variances to the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone are the subject of a Council
report under application 2011-019-DVP.
iii. Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requires 2 parking spaces per unit and 0.2 spaces per unit
to be provided as visitor parking spaces. For 43 units, this amounts to a total of 86 residential
parking spaces and 9 visitor parking spaces. Double-car garages are provided for 30 of the units,
and tandem-style garages are provided for 13 of the units, providing the required 86 residential
parking spaces. Eleven visitor parking spaces are provided throughout the site, with two of them
sized for disabled parking spaces. Some of the driveway aprons of individual units are also capable
of providing additional off-street parking spaces within the development.
4. Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the development plans for form and character of the
proposed development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held on June 14, 2016. The Panel
provided the following resolutions, which have since been resolved, as outlined below by the project
architect:
Consider removal of front entry exterior hall and enhance entry expression for each unit
Stone/wood column and beam with elevated roof is provided to highlight each unit entry.
The length of entry walkway has been reduced to avoid the long alcove.
Consider traffic calming and enhance hardscape elements along main roadway with
particular attention to park frontage
Additional patterning has been provided in the form of a paver crosswalk to the central
common amenity area.
Consider variation of façades on end units
Cultured stone, shakes, window boxes and/or larger windows with wood shutters have
been added to the end units.
Consider the balance of materials from front of building to back
All building blocks are coordinated to have front an rear façades with similar materials.
Consider refinement of grading for play area
Additional grading has been provided in the playground area.
Provide further grading details for overall site plan, including retaining wall information
Retaining walls are marked with top and bottom of wall elevations and materials
identified.
- 5 -
Consider accessibility around site, in particular around play area
Pathway connections for both the top and bottom of the slide areas have been updated
to meet accessibility requirements.
Consider mailbox location in regards to car access
Canada Post did not support relocating the mailbox.
Consider more interest in rubber surface area of playground
The playground has been adjusted to allow for more play space. The design intent is that
the wood stumps add an additional play feature to the site.
Consider further detail in rain garden, incorporating lawn drains
There is a lawn drain proposed within the rain garden that is adequately sized for the
portion of hard surface stormwater runoff being directed to the rain garden feature.
Consider removal of the handicap stall to further enhance play area
A regular sized parking stall was switched with a disabled sized parking stall to provide
additional space for the common amenity space.
Consider switching amenity areas 3 and 4 and increasing the number of garden plots
The garden plots are now placed at the south-west amenity space and the Harding
swings placed at the north-east amenity space.
Provide lighting plan
A lighting plan has been provided showing pendant lights at each entry and bollard and
in-ground up-lighting at the common amenity spaces and project entry.
The ADP concerns have been addressed appropriately and are reflected in the c urrent plans (see
Appendices D and E).
5. Environmental Implications:
Pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features
Development Permit application has been received to ensure the preservation and protection of the
natural environment of Cottonwood Creek, its tributaries, and the adjacent slopes. The developer
will provide restoration, enhancement and replanting works as required, and a security will be taken
as a condition of the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Development Permit
Area guidelines are met.
The Environmental and Restoration Management Plan has been reviewed, including the
Environmental Habitat Protection and Enhancement proposal, the Arborist Report, the Geotechnical
Report, and the Stormwater Management Plan. The geotechnical consultant is to coordinate their
recommendations with the environmental consultant, civil engineer, and arborist to ensure the
environmental objectives are achieved. Restoration measures with a cost estimate and security
deposit are required, including a five-year maintenance period.
It should be noted that although some areas are proposed to change designation from Conservation
to Urban Residential, additional lands within the subject property will be placed under a Restrictive
Covenant for habitat protection, and will be used for enhanced stormwater management and habitat
areas.
- 6 -
6. Citizen/Customer Implications:
A Development Information Meeting (DIM) was held on September 6, 2016 and Public Hearing was
held on November 22, 2016. A summary of the issues raised at the DIM, which were similar to the
concerns expressed at the Public Hearing, were summarized in the second reading report, dated
October 3, 2016.
7. Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $564,266.00, the security will be $564,266.00.
CONCLUSION:
As the development proposal complies with the Multi-Family Development Permit Area Guidelines of
the OCP for form and character, it is recommended that 2015-253-DP be given favourable
consideration.

b) Project Description:
Context:
The subject properties are part of a neighbourhood block of land bordered by 227 Street to the east,
226 Street to the west, 119 Avenue to the north and Selkirk Avenue to the south. The majority of
the land in this block is vacant and currently owned by the City of Maple Ridge. Two mixed use
buildings have recently been constructed along 226 Street, with ground floor commercial units and
three storeys of residential apartments above. An existing lane is located through the block with an
east-west orientation. The underground parking structures for the existing buildings are accessed
from the lane, and the same arrangement is proposed for the subject development.
Proposal:
The applicant, Falcon Village Joint Venture, entered into an agreement to purchase and develop the
remaining vacant lots in this block. Under the subject application, the developer proposes to
construct a 6 storey mixed use building with ground floor commercial units, four storeys of
residential units above, and an indoor and outdoor amenity space on the sixth floor. An underground
parking structure will be accessed via an east-west lane perpendicular to 227 Street. The project
includes 44 residential units and eight commercial units. The majority of the units (36) are two
bedroom units, with the remaining units containing a mix of one and three bedroom units.
- 3 -
The entire block is slated for re-development by the same developer; however, only the north-east
corner is the subject of this application. The overall site design includes 5 and 6 storey buildings
fronting all four streets in a quadrangle. The central portion of the block will have a semi-public
outdoor space for use by the commercial tenants, residents of the block, and the community as a
whole. Some surface parking is currently provided for commercial and residential visitors, and this
design will be mirrored on the east side for buildings fronting 227 Street. The central courtyard will
include public art space, seating areas, green space, and water features that will have stormwater
management functionality.
The proposed building design takes its design cues from the existing buildings fronting 226 Street,
through the use of brick work and the arcade sheltering a portion of the sidewalk. The building
corner at 227 Street and 119 Avenue is chamfered to create a design focal point, with brick work
extending all the way up to the top floor.
Eight commercial units are proposed on the ground floor. Four units will front 227 Street, three units
will front 119 Avenue, and the last commercial unit fronts the corner of 227 Street and 119 Avenue.
Six of the commercial units will have access doors from the main road frontage, as well a s onto the
interior frontage where at grade parking and patio space is located.
Parking:
Ten at grade parking space are provided to the rear of the building, with all remaining parking spaces
provided underground in this phase of development. The first level of underground parking will span
the currently vacant properties in this block, including underneath the lane. For the Phase 1
building, a second level of underground parking is proposed. The next phase of development to the
west will include a surface parking area for commercial and residential visitors. The subject
application qualifies for the reduced parking standards of the Central Business District. Under the
reduced parking standard ratio, the proposed building requires 54 parking spaces and the developer
has allocated 80 parking spaces in total.
c) Requested Variances and Analysis:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project, and involves the
following relaxations:
i) Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES 703 TOWN CENTRE
COMMERCIAL C-3 8) SITING a) to reduce the front yard on the third, fourth, and fifth floors from 7.5
m to 1.2 m at the building face and to 0.6 m at the column face, with no further siting exceptions;
and to further reduce the front yard setback variance to 0.1 m on the sixth floor at the overhang
face, with no further siting exceptions.
The reduced siting of the upper floors will alter the massing of the overall building. Rather than
create a prominent tiered building form, the setbacks for each storey will create a more uniform
building massing. This variance is not anticipated to negatively impact the pedestrian realm on the
ground floor, and is consistent with the draft Zoning Bylaw changes and historical development
patterns for quadrangle structures.
ii) Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES 703 TOWN CENTRE
COMMERCIAL C-3 8) SITING a) to reduce the rear yard setback on the third through sixth floors from
7.5 m to 6.3 m at the building face, with no further siting exceptions.
- 4 -
A minor setback variance is required for the rear property line where the building abuts the access
lane. The reduced distance will not impede vehicular circulation in and out of parking areas.
iii) Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES 703 TOWN CENTRE
COMMERCIAL C-3 8) SITING b) to reduce the distance from the side lot lines on the fourth through
sixth floors from 4.5 m to 0 m with no further siting exceptions.
A future mixed use building is proposed to abut directly onto the interior side lot line in a subsequent
phase of development (Phase 2). As a result, the 0 m setback for the subject building will appear to
be contiguous with Phase 2 and create a more attractive and uniform development overall.
iv) Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 7 COMMERCIAL ZONES 703 TOWN CENTRE
COMMERCIAL C-3 8) SITING b) to reduce the exterior side yard setback on the fourth through sixth
floors from 4.5 m to 2.0 m at the building face and 1.1 m to the furthest projection, with no further
siting exceptions.
Similar to the front yard setback, the building has been designed without a smaller amount of tiered
building massing than the C-3 (Town Centre Commercial) zone permits. As the building height does
not exceed five storeys, the untiered building massing is not anticipated to impact the pedestrian
realm at street level, and is consistent with proposed Zoning Bylaw changes and historical
development patters for quadrangle structures.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject properties are designated Town Centre Commercial and are located in the Town Centre
Area Plan.
e) Development Permit:
The development permit application made to the City prompting this referral to the ADP is subject to
the Key Guidelines and the Design Guidelines of Section 8.11 Town Centre Development Permit.
Key Guidelines:
The following is a brief description and assessment of the proposal’s compliance with the applicable
Key Development Permit Guidelines:
1. Promote the Civic Core as the “heart” of the Town Centre.
The subject development is part of a larger multi-phased re-development that will revitalize
the largely vacant city block between the Town Centre’s two main malls, Haney Place and
Valley Fair. The building has been designed to foster a vibrant urban environment by
providing sensitive design to both street frontages, as well as a future central gathering
space that will accommodate a range of activities.
2. Create a pedestrian-oriented, boutique style shopping district.
Ground floor commercial units sited at 0 m setbacks to the front and exterior side of the
property lines create an inviting pedestrian realm. Arcade features consistent with existing
buildings on this block provide weather protection for pedestrians and outdoor seating
opportunities.
- 5 -
3. Reference traditional architectural styles.
The building’s architectural style reflects existing buildings in the Town Centre with the
prominent use of bricks as a construction material. Building materials include brick, which
references the Town Centre’s existing buildings and heritage. Additionally, the design echoes
recently constructed buildings on the opposite side of the subject city block.
4. Capitalize on important views.
Residential corner units are oriented to the north-east for mountain view opportunities.
5. Enhance existing and cultural activities and public open space
The first phase of development will include a portion of public open space surrounding the
ground floor commercial units that will form part of a larger central space.
6. Provide climate appropriate landscaping and green features
A rooftop indoor and outdoor amenity space has been included in the design with
appropriate landscaping for the enjoyment of the building occupants.
7. Maintain street interconnectivity
Careful thought has been provided to street interconnectivity, with the creation of a
predominantly pedestrian east-west lane design.
f) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and
the landscaping plans at a meeting held on May 10, 2016 (see Appendix E and F). Following
presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the following
resolution that:
Consider CEPTED for the first floor and after hour safety, including the covered parking area;
A CEPTED report is being drafted by Liahona Security and will be provided when available.
Consider relocating or adjusting the storage area on the parkade level for safer egress;
The entrance to the parkade storage has been relocated to provide safer egress.
Consider how the second floor privacy screens are laid out for safety and security;
Privacy screens have been added to the second floor patios.
Show CRU signage style and locations, placement on façade, hung under canopy and/or
incorporated into storefront;
Signage for the CRU's will be a combination of 3D signs on the brick facade and hanging
signs within the colonnade.
Consider a variety of brick patterns or colour on the frontage for added visual interest;
3 stack soldier coarse bricks have been added to the corner element to provide further
interest. Extensive brick patterns are currently shown along the entire length of the
colonnade and color variation is used at the residential entry.
- 6 -
Consider Courtyard access through to the lobby, with suitable surface treatment through the
parking area;
Courtyard access has been added to the lobby which will be available to all visitors during
normal office hours via automatic electronic door locks.
Require further information on the first floor finishes and open space design;
First floor finishes have been added to the landscape drawings.
Consider a corner building element similar to lobby entrance to be located at the corner of
the building;
The corner element has had new brick patterns, lights and concrete detail elements added
for interest.
Consider material for parking area with higher visual interest and snow removal from parking
areas;
Parking paving patterns have been added to the landscape drawings, little snow will need to
be removed from the parking area given the 2nd floor patio overhanging the parking area.
Consider reducing the parapet height on the second floor to allow for better sightlines from
units while seated;
The parapet height of the second floor has been reduced and glass railings added.
Consider occupancy limits for rooftop patio;
The roof top patio will be limited to 60 persons and 150m2 per building code.
Consider wider breezeway connections in future phases;
The proposed breezeway starts at 22'-0” wide and narrows to 14'-8” before returning back to
22'-0” wide.
Consider additional breezeway in Phase 1 between the parking area and CRU front
entrances;
An additional breezeway was considered and decided against as it wou ld not add a
connection more than parking and would in turn reduce the significance of the proposed
breezeway in the next phase.
Show overhead security gates/door in parkade and commercial loading;
Overhead security door has been added to Parkade Level 1.
Consider addition landscaping finishes on 119 Avenue and 227 Street and a corner plaza;
Landscaping finishes added to 119 Avenue and 227 street.
Consider additional variety for landscape finishes on the exterior frontages;
Additional variety of landscape finishes added to the exterior frontages.
Consider less smaller and more larger planters on the rooftop patio;
Larger planters added to the rooftop patio.
Consider architectural precast concrete planter on roof top for large tree;
Larger concrete planters added to the rooftop patio to allow for larger tree planting.
- 7 -
Support the Courtyard and associated amenities as a pedestrian focus and no through
traffic;
The central lane portion will be restricted to non vehicular traffic to further enhance the
pedestrian experience in the central courtyard.
Submit further details for completing the landscaping components;
Additional landscape drawings have been provided.
Provide additional details for sections and façade treatment on lane.
3D views added and details added to the lane facade of the building.
g) Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscapin g in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $108,700.71, the security will be $108, 700.71.
CONCLUSION:

SUBJECT:Award of Contract RFP-EN17-03: Engineering Design Services for 232 Street
Preliminary and Detailed Design (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
232 Street north of 132 Avenue is currently a rural standard two-lane road with sections of steep
road grades.Travel demands on this road have increased significantly due to the development of
the Silver Valley area that will continue to build out over an extended timeframe.
The City’s Strategic Transportation Plan identifies this section of 232 Street as an arterial roadway
that is also part of the long-term bicycle network. The City plans to upgrade and widen this section of
road to a two-lane multi-modal arterial configuration that has safe pedestrian and cycling facilities
complete with street lighting and parking where feasible. The road shoulder in this corridor is
currently utilized by equestrian users as a means to access the off-road trail at 136 Avenue to
continue east on to the Shoesmith trail network and the goal is to relocate equestrian users to off-
road trails as development occurs.
In 2016, the City retained McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd.(McElhanney)to complete the
conceptual design report for 232 Street from 132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road that provided an
overview of the engineering constraints and challenges involved in widening the cross section and
reducing the grades, along with a recommended option to proceed to detailed design. The
recommended option was displayed at an Open House held on November 30, 2016.This option was
well received and the detailed design is proceeding based upon this concept.
The design of 232 Street will be completed in 2017, and if possible some components will proceed
in late summer 2017,but the major roadworks construction will occur in 2018.This schedule is in
accordance with the City’s Financial Plan.
The Request for Proposal (RFP)for preliminary and detailed design services was sent out to five pre-
qualified engineering consulting firms of which four responded to the RFP which closed on January
27, 2017.An evaluation team identified McElhanney’s submittal of $237,855.00, including
provisional items,plus taxes as the highest ranking proposal.
Council approval is required to award the project to McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract RFP-EN17-03:Engineering Design Services for 232 Street Preliminary and Detailed
Design (132 Avenue to Silver Valley Road)be awarded to McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd.in
the amount of $237,855.00 plus taxes; and
THAT a contingency of $45,000.00 be established for this project; and further
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.1107

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 6, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Festival Grant Program Recommendations – Intake One
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Applications for festival support were reviewed by an internal Festival Grant Committee on January 19,
2017 and evaluated with reference to the benefit criteria outlined in the Festival Support Policy. The
financial documentation supplied by the applicants was also examined to ensure that event organizers
had clearly demonstrated the need and justification for financial support. The Committee’s detailed
recommendations for support allocations are outlined in the summary chart (attached).
Community events contribute to building civic pride, sense of identity, inclusivity and diverse community
engagement while promoting economic prosperity and tourism. The City’s festival grant program
represents municipal support (financial and/or in-kind) to community groups that would allow them to
leverage additional support from sponsors, businesses, foundations and other levels of government
through fundraising and other event revenue generating efforts.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the festival support allocations for May 1 to October 31, 2017 be approved for a total allocation of
$51,320 towards community festivals and civic signature events in the first intake and $13,000 for the
second intake including grassroots and new events.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
With the dissolution of the Joint Leisure Services Agreement and the Commission, staff developed
an internal Festival Grant Committee in place of the Commission Festival Sub-Committee to review
the applications submitted to the annual Festival Support Grant Program. The Committee was
comprised of Yvonne Chui, Arts and Community Connections Manager, Kathryn Baird, Coordinator –
Special Events and Volunteers, Valoree Richmond, Parks Planning Manager and Lino Siracusa,
Manager of Economic Development. These departmental stakeholders are in a position to assist
with the alignment of festivals with tourism, economic development and parks.
The Committee followed the established festival support guidelines to ensure consistency in
decision-making. A maximum funding limit of $5,000 per grant was re-assessed in 2016 through
the Festival Support Review process and some flexibility was acknowledged to accommodate costs
related to the expansion of activities, increased production costs including safety related
requirements and alignment with the civic branding and tourism strategy.
Eight eligible community festival funding applications for events taking place May 1 to October 31
were reviewed. A total amount of $16,200 was allocated to large, medium and small festivals in
Maple Ridge. The Caribbean Society and the Agricultural Association proposed additional activities
1151
2
to celebrate Canada 150 and the Committee recommends an additional support of $1,000 each
towards their respective efforts.
Four civic signature event funding requests were also considered for the 2017 calendar year. A
total amount of $27,620 was allocated towards National Aboriginal Day, Canada Day, Celebrate the
Night and Remembrance Day events. This year staff has worked with the Fraser River All Nations
Aboriginal Society (FRANAS) to develop a civic partnership that would contribute towards positive
relationship building between First Nations and local government. A first step in the process of local
government leadership in truth and reconciliation is to move Aboriginal Day to the civic signature
event category. In this regard, staff worked to support FRANAS in its application to Canadian
Heritage for additional funding and will continue to play a partnership role in event planning and
implementation. To closer align signature events with the civic branding and tourism strategy, some
additional funds were allocated to support some growth and enhancements to celebrate Canada
150 which will be supplemented through sponsorships and federal grants. This is a first step
towards fulfilling and aligning Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services with the branding and tourism
strategy.
The Agricultural Association and Haney Farmers Market Society are under operating grant
agreements in which their allocations (through the festival grant program) have been set through
their respective agreements: $6,000 for the Agricultural Association (top up of $1,000 for Celebrate
150) and $1,500 for the Haney Farmer’s Market Society. In 2015, the City’s support was changed
and moved to 2 and 3 year term operating agreements in recognition of the scope of their activities
and services delivered to the community beyond festival or special event activities. These
agreements are maturing and will be reviewed later this year.
Based on the previous years’ funding requests for annual events held in the second intake from
November 1 to April 30, 2018, the Committee is recommending that $13,000 be held back for the
second application intake including grassroots and new events. The grassroots and new events
submissions will be reviewed by staff on an on-going basis as per the Festivals Policy. The
Committee will meet again to review the requests for the second intake of applications and will
make recommendations to Council in June. The total approved 2017 festival grant funding budget
is $64,320.
The Committee noted that the applicants’ requests were for essential event production
requirements such as insurance, safety equipment, public health and volunteer program expenses.
Many of these production expenses continue to increase as the respective events grow in size and
complexity. Staff will bring forward some considerations for Council in the 2018 business plan
process to address some of these logistical and basic supports and to scale festivals to assist as
the implementation of the branding and tourism strategy and goals get underway in a phased
approach.
b) Desired Outcome:
Community festivals provided to local residents and tourists by volunteer festival organizers are
successful and effective, supporting opportunities for citizens to contribute to community and for
citizens to connect and participate in their community.
c) Strategic Alignment:
As per the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan (2010) increasing the quality, scope and
diversity of festivals and special events will contribute towards recognizing Maple Ridge as a
destination and community with rich arts and culture opportunities.
d) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The recommended level of funding falls within the budget guidelines and it allows for the funding of
new events as requests come forward throughout the year.
3
It is recognized that encouraging citizens to develop their creative potential and sense of community
through special events and festivals contributes to building a healthy, vibrant and engaged
community. These activities contribute towards a vision for a complete community and support the
local economy. In 2016, the festival groups’ total estimated budget was over $480,000 which
demonstrates the value that the Festival Support Fund contributes as a means of attracting
additional funding from sponsorships, grants and other income. Citizen engagement is integral to
Council’s strategic plan.
e) Policy Implications:
As per Festival Support Policy P100. We are currently guided by the existing Commission policies.
The transition to City of Maple Ridge policies will be presented to Council for consideration in the
coming months.
CONCLUSIONS:
An evaluation of all festival applications was conducted by the Festival Grant Committee and the
recommendation is that festivals receive the level of financial support as outlined in the Festival Review
Chart – February 2017 for a total of $51,320 in the first intake. Trails, parks, agriculture, food
experiences, attractions, community support, local festivals and vibrant events will make Maple Ridge
an exciting destination. Maple Ridge continues to have a strong tradition of citizen support for festivals
and events that enhance quality of life, encourage community identity and spirit, enhance economic
benefits, attract tourists and participants, develop volunteerism and demonstrate a sense of
responsibility to the community. The Festival Grant Program recognizes and supports these volunteer
contributions and the positive outcomes they achieve.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: 2017-02-06
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaw #7260-2016
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The cemetery fees and charges (Schedule “A”) were last reviewed in detail in 2008, when they were
updated as a result of the adoption of the Cemetery Master Plan in 2008. The Master Plan suggested
a variety of on site improvements at the cemetery as well as the acquisition of the lands to the north
on Dewdney Trunk Road, for the expansion of the cemetery. The changes made to the fees and
charges at that time were significant, as the new fees anticipated costs for land acquisition,
development of the new phases of the cemetery and increased operating costs for labor and
materials. The cemetery bylaws have been reviewed to update definitions, reflect changes in the
Cremation, Interment and Funeral Services Act and changes to the governance model for cemeteries
as well as the inclusion of expanded services such as the double columbaria.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Cemetery Bylaw No. 7260-2016 be given first, second and third readings; and,
That Cemetery Bylaw No. 5784-1999 be repealed in its entirety upon adoption of Cemetery
Bylaw No. 7260-2016.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The cemetery bylaws and the fees and charges were last reviewed in detail when research was
undertaken subsequent to the adoption of the Cemetery Master Plan, which was adopted in March
2008. Staff brought forward fees and charges recommendations that reflected the expansion and
development of future phases of the cemetery which were adopted on October 28, 2008.
A borrowing bylaw was also adopted for the acquisition and development of the additional parcels,
based on the estimated land costs at the time, which was approximately $1M for each of the three
parcels identified, as well as funding to assist with the development of the site for this purpose.
The City has acquired two of the three parcels.
Several changes have also occurred since 2008, including changes requested by the British
Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority (BPCPA) who assumed the
governance role previously held by the Cemetery Registrar. The City is required to make changes
to the Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaw to acknowledge the BPCPA governance in this area. Staff has
also taken this opportunity to update the definitions in the bylaw to provide greater clarity for
clients who wish to use this service. The updates include new definitions requested by the BPCPA
to reflect the current Provincial Acts and Regulations.
1152
2
b) Desired Outcome:
That the Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaws accurately reflect the Cremation, Interment and Funeral
Services Act, BPCPA and municipal regulations in an easy to understand format.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The recommendations contained in the Cemetery Master Plan have been incorporated into the
revised bylaw. The recommendations suggested by the consultant were intended to address gaps
in the previous bylaw such as the process to deal with the right of interment passing to other
family members, definition of family members and measurements stated in both metric and
standard.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The Maple Ridge Cemetery is very important to many of our citizens, particularly those who have
resided in Maple Ridge for a very long time and, who intend to be interred in a cemetery in the
community where they have spent most of their lives. With the assistance of the City‘s cemetery
clerk and two local funeral homes, residents have the benefit of easy access to a wide range of
funeral care services. The expansion of the cemetery as well as the introduction of new services
where appropriate, such as the double columbaria, will further enhance the services available to
our citizens.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Parks, Recreation and Culture are responsible for the administration of the cemetery records and
all cemetery transactions. Cemetery Operations are also heavily reliant on manpower resources
from the Parks Operations section to cover for cemetery staff vacation, as well as support for full
burials during the winter months when there is only one staff member working at the cemetery.
The finance department provides support in the administration of the perpetual care fund, capital
funds for acquisition and improvements as well as operating accounts for labor and materials.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
When the new fees and charges were adopted a few years ago, the cost increase was significant
in order to address the increased labor and materials costs as well as debt servicing costs
associated with the acquisition of land for the expansion of cemetery. The Maple Ridge Cemetery
Fees and Charges are now more in line with the fees being charged at other municipal cemeteries
in the region. Staff recommends that Council approve modest increases over the next few years to
keep pace with increased land values, labor and material costs as well as ensuring that there are
enough funds available to service the debt for the cemetery expansion. The proposed fees
anticipate that we will still need to acquire one more property and cover the costs to develop the
expansion lots for cemetery purposes, which should be on a break even basis.
Staff is also recomending that an increase of 2% each year be applied for the years 2018, 2019
and 2020 and have built these fees into Schedule A. Periodic fees and charges reviews and
increases are necessary for the sustainability of the cemetery operation, as it relies on the fees
collected to offset the costs associated with the provision of this service.
The perpetual care reserve fees have also been updated to reflect the changes requested by the
BPCPA. All below ground right of interments are subject to a minimum of 25% on top of the plot
fee. All above ground interments are subject to a minimum of 10% fee in addition to the cost of
the niche. All memorialisation on the memory plaque is subject to a $10.00 fee per memorial. The
proposed Maple Ridge Cemetery Fees and Charges have utilized the minimum perpetual care fee
permitted by BPCPA in each of the categories noted above as the perpetual care fund is quite
healthy and is forecasted to have enough funds to care for the site when it is eventually full and
will only require routine maintenance of the site.
3
Customers will see increases in charges that range from $124, as a result of the increased cost
that the city pays for the grave liners, to a $480.00 increase for a columbaria niche. The fee for a
columbaria niche has been increased by $661.00 to reflect the regional pricing and the perpetual
care fund amount has been reduced from 410.00 to $229.00, which is the minimum permitted by
BPCPA.
g) Policy Implications:
The cemetery is governed by a combination of regulations in the Cremation, Interment and Funeral
Services Act, the British Columbia Business Practices and Consumer Protection Authority as well
as the Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaws.
h) Alternatives:
The updates to reflect regulations required by the BPCPA will need to be incorporated into the
Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaw. The bylaw has been reviewed by the City’s legal team as well as the
BPCPA for both accuracy and legal interpretation. Council may wish to make changes to portions
of the bylaw that are within its jurisdiction such as the fees and charges, types of services
provided, hours of operation and in some cases, definitions contained in the bylaw. If changes are
made to the attached bylaws document, staff may need to resubmit the bylaw for review by BPCPA
and our legal team to ensure that any proposed changes meet their criteria.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff are recommending the proposed changes to the Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaws for increased
efficiency for staff and clients, as well as implementation of the proposed future right of interment
guidelines for staff to follow. In addition, there is a need to implement the new fees and charges so
that staff can administer application of the new double columbaria units which were approved during
the 2016 business planning process.
