members.
Each person will be permitted 2 minutes to ask their question (a second
opportunity is permitted if no one else is sitting in the chairs in front of the podium).
Questions must be directed to the Chair of the meeting and not to individual
members of Council. The total Question Period is limited to 15 minutes.

Other opportunities are available to address Council including public hearings,
delegations and community forum. The public may also make their views known to
Council by writing or via email and by attending open houses, workshops and
information meetings. Serving on an Advisory Committee is an excellent way to

The Manager of Development and Environmental Services provided clarification on
improvements to sound mitigation.
The Mayor called for speakers for the first time.
Brian Bishop
Mr. Bishop identified himself as a resident with a home behind the proposed site. He
expressed concern with a potential increase in garbage, rodents and noise. He did not feel
that this establishment should be open for 24 hours as there is a 24 hour McDonald’s in the
area. Mr. Bishop pointed out that there are already many persons out late at night and
having such establishments open 24 hours promotes activities such as theft which have a
negative impact on the neighbourhood.
The Mayor called for speakers for the second time.
Todd Turner
Mr. Turner is opposed to the application. He identified himself as a resident with a home in
close proximity to the call box for the proposed Tim Hortons. He expressed concern with the
24 hour opening, the acoustics and noise resulting from the proposed application. He
questioned the appropriateness of adding another business which is open 24 hours, stating
that there are currently several such businesses in the neighbourhood. He listed negative
impacts already occurring in the neighbourhood as a result of businesses being open 24
hours.
Robert Hornsey
Mr. Hornsey spoke in opposition to the rezoning application as well as the 24 hour operation
of the proposed Tim Hortons. He agreed with previous speakers and stated that the area is
deluged with similar 24 hour services. He expressed concern with the impact in terms of
noise and rodents and questioned whether noise abatement will work. He reiterated his
opposition to a 24 hour service.
Debra Tucker
Ms. Tucker expressed concern with the added emissions and idling noises coming from
vehicles going through the proposed Tim Hortons drive-thru. She stated that Tim Hortons is
very busy and she was not sure if residents would like the business in their neighbourhood.

Andrea Scott – Lovick Scott Architects Ltd. (Architect for this project)
Ms. Scott addressed concerns with noise mitigation. She provided further information on
the proposed acoustic fencing and lighting on the site.
The Mayor called for speakers for a third time.
Barj Dehan – owner of Tim Hortons franchise
Mr. Dehan addressed concerns with the 24 hour business model. He indicated that the
franchise would like to continue with this model, however, consideration may be given to
closing the drive-thru speaker boxes between 11:00 pm. and 5:00 p.m. specifying that the
lane will be left open and orders would be placed at the window. Mr. Dehan assured
residents that all health regulations will be complied with in response to concerns over
increased garbage and rodents. They will be contracting with a third party to manage the
rodents. He also commented on the number of employment opportunities this proposed
project would provide, and how they offer employees leadership training.
Adrian Keenan
Mr. Keenan spoke in favour of the application. He outlined positive aspects of the Tim
Hortons franchise in terms of the provision of employment and pointed out that this property
is a commercial node. Mr. Keenan explained the nature of the 24 hour opening and the
disadvantages for a business which is not open for that time period. He addressed concerns
over a possible increase in the rat population.
There being no further comment, the Mayor declared this item dealt with.

contained herein a chance to be heard, the Mayor terminated the Public Hearing at

SUBJECT: Final Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7028-2013
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7029-2013
23154 136 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Bylaws 7028-2013 and 7029-2013 have been considered by Council and at Public Hearing and
subsequently were granted third reading. The applicant has requested that final reading be granted.
The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the subdivision into 31 single family lots not less than
315 m2 in area.
Council granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7029-2013 on October 22, 2013.
Council granted first and second reading for OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7028-2013 and Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7029-2013 on April 5, 2016. This application was presented at Public Hearing
on April 19, 2016, and Council granted third reading on April 26, 2016.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7028-2013 be adopted; and
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7029-2013 be adopted.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Council considered this rezoning application at a Public Hearing held on April 19, 2016. On April 26,
2016 Council granted third reading to Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7028-2013 and
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7029-2013 with the stipulation that the following conditions be
addressed:
i)Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the
deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement;
ii)Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedule “A”, Chapter 10.3, Part VI, A – Silver
Valley, Figure 2 - Land Use Plan, Figure 3A - Blaney Hamlet, and Figure 4 - Trails / Open
Space,
iii)Park dedication as required, including removal of all debris and garbage from park land;
1006
- 2 -
iv) Registration of a Statutory Right-of-Way plan on 23083 132 Avenue and 23121 132
Avenue for the multi-purpose trail connection to 132 Avenue;
v) Construction of the multi-purpose trails;
vi) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the geotechnical report which addresses the
suitability of the subject property for the proposed development;
vii) Notification to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Environment for
in-stream works on the site;
viii) 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. If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that the
subject property is not a contaminated site.
ix) That a voluntary citywide Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) be provided in keeping
with the direction given by Council with regard to amenities.
The following applies to the above:
1. A Rezoning Servicing Agreement has been registered at the Land Title Office, and the security
amount outlined in the agreement has been provided.
2. The necessary OCP Amending Bylaw and associated schedules will be approved with final
reading of Bylaw 7028-2013.
3. A park dedication plan has been registered at the Land Title Office and the applicant has
confirmed that all debris and garbage has been removed.
4. A Statutory Right-of-Way for a multi-purpose trail on 23083 132 Avenue will be a condition of
subdivision approval rather than rezoning approval. As the ownership of 23121 132 Avenue
is in transition, the applicant can no longer provide a Statutory Right-of-Way on that parcel of
land.
5. The applicant has provided a security amount for future trail construction pending further
direction from the Parks, Recreation & Culture Department on the ultimate trail location.
6. A Geotechnical Restrictive Covenant has been registered on the subject property.
7. The applicant has submitted notification to the appropriate provincial and federal ministries
for in-stream works.
8. A Professional Engineer’s letter confirming that there are no underground fuel storage tanks
on the subject property has been provided.
9. A Community Amenity Contribution has been provided in accordance with Council’s
Community Amenity Contribution for 31 single family lots.
- 3 -
CONCLUSION:
As the applicant has met Council’s conditions, it is recommended that final reading be given to
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7028-2013 and Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7029-
2013.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 20, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2016-175-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W
SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7305-2016; and
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7258-2016
23711 132 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the southern portion of the subject property, located at
23711 132 Avenue, from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban
Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit future subdivision
into three single family residential lots, and one remainder lot. A separate application, 2016-176-
RZ, has been received to rezone the northern remainder portion of the subject property, from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential), and will be the subject of a separate report to Council. The applicant is pursuing
separate rezoning applications in anticipation that the single family development will proceed faster
than the multi-family development. Ground-truthing on site has established the developable areas,
and as a result, an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment is required to revise the Conservation
boundaries.
Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7258-2016 and considered the early
consultation requirements for the OCP amendment on July 26, 2016. Pursuant with Council
resolution, the application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That, in accordance with Section 475 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and on-
going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw
No. 7305-2016 on the municipal website, and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any
further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw;
2)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7305-2016 be considered in conjunction with
the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
3)That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7305-2016 is consistent
with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;
4)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7305-2016 be given first and second
readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing;
5)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7258-2016 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
1101
- 2 -
6) 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 Agreement;
ii) Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedule “A”, Chapter 10.3, Part VI, A – Silver
Valley, Figure 2 - Land Use Plan, Figure 3C - River Hamlet, and Figure 4 - Trails and
Conservation areas;
iii) Park dedication as required, including construction of a pedestrian trail and removal of all
debris and garbage from park land;
iv) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Geotechnical Report, which addresses the
suitability of the subject property for the proposed development; and
v) In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2) Project Description:
The subject property is located at 23711 132 Avenue (see Appendices A and B). The applicant is
proposing three single family residential lots on the southern portion of the subject property, south of
Maple Ridge Park Creek. Two of the lots will front 132 Avenue, and a third lot, the existing home, is
proposed as a panhandle lot. Council Policy 6.02 indicates that panhandle lots are permitted
“where there is no other subdivision possibility in an established area, and where there is no
possibility of a road being created to eliminate any need of a panhandle subdivision, and when the
lot being created will not affect the established amenity of the area by blocking views from adjoining
parcels.” In this instance, it is not possible for a road to be developed to access the existing house,
nor will any views be blocked from adjoining parcels. All three lots will have access from 132
Avenue, with the existing house utilizing a panhandle driveway located between the two new lots
fronting 132 Avenue (see Appendix E). The area surrounding Maple Ridge Park Creek will be
dedicated to the City as Park, and will include a pedestrian trail on the north side of the creek that
will connect to an existing trail in the adjacent Cedar Park.
The same applicant is proposing a sixteen unit townhouse development through a separate
application, 2016-176-RZ, on the northern half of the subject property, north of Maple Ridge Park
Creek (see Appendix F). Application 2016-176-RZ will be accessed from 133 Avenue, which is a
separate access from the subject application. There is no access proposed between the townhouse
site to the north and the single family lots to the south. The applicant is pursuing separate rezoning
applications in anticipation that the single family development will proceed faster than the multi-
family application.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The land use designations for the subject property are outlined in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The
southern portion of the site is designated Low Density Urban, which supports densities ranging from
8 to 18 units per hectare. The applicant is proposing the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone, which is consistent with the Low Density Urban land use designation. The balance
of the site is designated Conservation and Medium/High Density Residential. The applicant is
proposing a sixteen unit townhouse development on the northern Medium/High Density Residential
designated portion of the property, under a separate application, 2016-176-RZ. An amendment to
the OCP is required for the Conservation boundary around Maple Ridge Park Creek (see Appendix C).
Design features of the Silver Valley Area Plan include concentrating higher density residential
development into the Hamlets and the River Village. These areas were planned to be within walking
distance of commercial uses. Residential densities outside of these core areas were reduced
- 4 -
overall, through clustering or retention of larger lots, to retain significant natural amenities and
protect view corridors. The subject property is situated between, but outside of the peripheries of
River Village and Horse Hamlet. It is, therefore, located in an area that is generally associated with
lower density residential development, as reflected by its current designation.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the southern portion of the subject property, from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family
Urban (Medium Density) Residential) (see Appendix D), to permit subdivision into three single family
residential lots, and one remainder lot (see Appendix E). The minimum lot size for the current RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) zone is 2.0 ha (5 acres) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
zone is 0.40 ha (1 acre), and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557 m² (5,996 ft²). The proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban
(Medium Density) Residential) zoning is in compliance with the policies of the Silver Valley Area Plan
of the OCP. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development
Variance Permit application.
A second application, 2016-176-RZ, on the northern portion of the subject property, proposes to
rezone from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-
1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of sixteen townhouse units. Application 2016-
176-RZ will be the subject of a separate and future report to Council.
iii) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application has been made
under the file reference 2016-035-DP for all development and subdivision activity identified in
wildfire risk areas. The purpose of the Wildfire Development Permit is for the protection of life and
property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire; and where this risk may be
reasonably abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary measures. The subject
property is located within the Wildfire Development Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the
OCP. More information is provided within section 5) Interdepartmental Implications.
- 5 -
iv) Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for a single family development; therefore,
this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. A multi-family
Development Permit will accompany file 2016-176-RZ for the townhouse component to the north.
v) Parkland Requirement:
As there are more than two additional lots proposed to be created, the developer will be required to
comply with the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to
subdivision approval. For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as
park on the subject property and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of final
reading.
4) Environmental Implications:
Maple Ridge Park Creek bisects the property, and is the feature that separates the southern
application, proposing three single family residential lots, and the northern application, proposing a
sixteen unit multi-family townhouse development (see Appendix F). The property drains west and
southwest, with a 13 percent grade. Maple Ridge Park Creek is approximately 3.5 m wide within the
property boundaries and will require a 15 m setback from the top of bank. The property is vegetated
with a mix of native species, and has ornamental shrubs near the existing home; as well, some
invasive species were identified on the subject property. Tree retention opportunities exist in both
Conservation and developable areas, with a significant stand of trees located in the southwest
corner of the property. Large boulders and rocky outcrops were identified throughout the entire
property; however, they were more prominent on the northern portion of the site. A large rocky
outcrop was identified along the northeast property boundary, which will be retained as part of the
northern development application, 2016-176-RZ.
5) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
A rezoning servicing agreement is required for the proposed pedestrian trail. All other deficient
services will be provided through a Subdivision Servicing Agreement at the time of subdivision.
Parks & Leisure Services Department:
A pedestrian trail will be provided on the north side of Maple Ridge Park Creek. This trail will connect
to an existing trail located within the adjacent City owned Cedar Park, located directly east of the
subject property. The applicant will be responsible for the costs associated with the pedestrian trail.
Fire Department:
The subject property is located within the Wildfire Development Permit area; therefore, the applicant
has provided a Wildfire Hazard Mitigation Report prepared by Diamond Head Consulting Ltd. This
report also includes the adjacent northern application, located at the same address, 23711 132
Avenue, under rezoning application 2016-176-RZ. The report concludes that mitigation measures
would be achieved through setbacks and fuel treatments along forested boundaries, appropriate
landscaping, and fire resistant building materials.
6) Intergovernmental Issues:
i) Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP requires the Local Government to consult with any affected parties and to
adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 477 of the Local
Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to adjust the Conservation area
- 6 -
boundary, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional
consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional
District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the
Federal and Provincial Governments.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone complies with the Low
Density Urban designation within the Silver Valley Area Plan; however, an OCP amendment is
required to revise the Conservation boundaries. A second application, 2016-176-RZ, on the
northern portion of the subject property, proposes to rezone to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to
permit the development of sixteen townhouse units. Application 2016-176-RZ will be the subject of
a future report to Council.
It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7305-2016,
that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7258-2016, and that application 2016-
175-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential), and P-4a (Place of Worship Institutional and Educational) to C-2 (Community
Commercial). The site consists of two lots, one of which is bisected by 119 Avenue (a hooked lot).
For the northern portion of the site, the rezoning would facilitate a two storey 4,700m2 commercial
building which will include a 2,400m2 banquet facility and Retail and Office Buildings adjacent to
Dewdney Trunk Road. For the southern portion of the site (20556 Dewdney Trunk Road) 4

The development site is located within the Commercial and Institutional designations. To
accommodate the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to re-designate
portions of the site to Commercial to allow the proposed C-2 (Community Commercial) zone. OCP

The proposed change to the zoning with respect to the commercial component is supported by the
Official Community Plans Commercial Strategy which encourages the following:
• To create a large and diverse commercial sector that provides a wide selection of
goods and services;
• To expand employment opportunities, diversify the Maple Ridge economy, generate
additional investment, and to increase property tax revenues;
• To create a more “complete community” by providing for a range of commercial
opportunities throughout the municipality; and
- 5 -
• To respond to emerging market trends and shopping preferences of Maple Ridge
citizens, and to permit greater flexibility in the range of permitted commercial uses.
The mixed commercial proposal will create a variety of job opportunities as well as, economic
opportunities for existing businesses. The proposed banquet facility will be brining people into the
community that will bring secondary economic opportunities to existing business within the
community.
The minimum lot size for the current P-4a (Place of Worship, Institutional and Education District)
zone is 0.40 ha, and the minimum lot size for the proposed C-2 (Community Commercial) zone is
2,500.0 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development
Variance Permit application. From a preliminary review building height; parking and setback

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7310-2017
24487 112 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (medium density) Residential) and RS-1d (One Family Urban
(half acre) Residential). A total of 31 single family lots are proposed. The subject property is split
designated Low Density at the north of the subject site, and Low / Medium Density Residential at the
southwest portion of the site. A watercourse transects between these two residential designations,
and this riparian area is protected by a conservation designation separating the north and south
portions of the site.
The subject property is within the Albion Area Plan and the Urban Boundary. The applicant will be
using density bonusing provisions to allow for reduced parcel sizes in these two land use
designations. The Low Density designation aligns with the RS-1d One Family Urban (half acre)
Residential Zone. Density bonusing provisions in the Zoning Bylaw for this designation would permit
the creation of 557 square metre lots, a parcel size that is consistent with the RS-1b Zone. The
portion of the site that is designated Low / Medium Density aligns with a number of zones, with the
RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Zone being the highest density permitted.
Density bonusing provisions in this designation allow the creation of parcel sizes of 371 square
meters, a parcel size that is consistent with the R-1 Residential District Zone. Financial
contributions in exchange for this increased density are required under density bonusing provisions.
These matters are discussed further in this report.
In addition to the required fees for the Density bonus provisions, this single family subdivsion
proposal will be subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program. The rates for single family
development have been established at $5100.00 per single family lot created.
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;

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: Krahn Engineering Ltd. Kevin Bennett
Legal Description: Lot: C, Section: 15, Township: 12, Plan: NWP23217
OCP:
Existing: Low/Medium Density Residential), Conservation, Low/Medium
Density Residential
Proposed: (Low/Medium Density Residential, Conservation, Low/Medium

Zoning:
Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), RS-1d
(One Family Urban (half acre) Residential) (density bonus to R-1
and RS-1b parcel sizes)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Farm and Rural Residential

Proposed Use of Property: Urban Residential (Albion Area Plan)
Site Area: 4.567 HA. (11.3 acres)
Access: 112 Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
- 3 -
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is at the north edge of the Albion Area Plan and is bounded to its north by lands
within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The site is characterized by steep slopes and a watercourse
which divides it into two developable portions.
c) Project Description:
This rezoning application proposes a 31 lot single family subdivision in accordance with the Albion
Area Plan. Due to the presence of steep slopes and the watercourse, ground truthing will be
required to establish the conservation area which may reduce the proposed developable area. Due
to possible adjustments in the conservation boundary, an amendment to the Official Community Plan
may be triggered.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (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:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low Density
Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, and Conservation. For the proposed development an
OCP amendment may be required to adjust the existing conservation boundaries.
As the subject property is bounded to its north by lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve, an
Agricultural Impact Assessment will be required as part of this application. In addition, the
expectation is that an agricultural buffer will be provided at the northern property line. It is
recognized that lot yields may be reduced by this requirement. A similar provision was made for the
development to the west of the subject property, with a buffer of roughly 15 metres.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 24487 112 Avenue from RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1d One Family Urban (half acre) Residential, and RS-1b (One
Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) A total of 31 single family lots are proposed. The
minimum lot size for the current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential zone is 8000 m2, the minimum
lot size for the proposed RS-1d Zone is 2000 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b
Zone is 557 m2. As the subject property is within the Albion Area Plan, this proposal can use density
bonusing provisions to reduce lot size and increase lot yield, in exchange for financial contributions
towards local amenities. The minimum lot sizes with density bonusing provisions are 557m2 for the
RS-1d Zone and 371 m2 for the RS-1b Zone. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed
zones will require a Development Variance Permit application.
The applicant will be utilizing density bonusing provisions in order to attain a greater number of
parcels on this site. The funds received will contribute to eligible amenities within the Albion Area
Plan boundaries, including the construction and maintenance of Parks; Multi-Use Trails; or Civic
Facilities. Density is determined by the area applied to lot size, lot width, and lot depth. As
demonstrated in the following Zoning Bylaw excerpt:
- 4 -
A Density Bonus maybe applied in exchange for an Amenity Contribution as follows:
1) For the RS-1d zone, the base density is a minimum net lot area of 2,000m2, minimum lot
width of 30m, and minimum lot depth of 40m. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS-1d
zone and shall be applied as follows:
a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision
containining one or more lots with an area of less than 2,000m2, payable when the
Approving Officer approves the subdivision.
b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i. minimum net lot area of 557m2;
ii. minimum lot width of 15.0m;
iii. minimum lot depth of 27m.
c. Zoning requirements consistent with the RS-1b One Family Urban (Medium Density
Residential zone will apply and supersede the zoning requirements for theRS-1d zone.
2) For the RS-1b zone, the base density is a net lot area of 557m2. A Density Bonus is an option
in the RS-1b zone and shall be applied as follows:
a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision containing
one or more lots with an area of less than 557m2, payable when the Approving Officer
approves the subdivision.
b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i. minimum net lot area of 371m2;
ii. minimum lot width of 12.0m;
iii. minimum lot depth of 24m.
c. Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 Residential District zone will apply and
supersede the zoning requirements for the RS-1b zone.
Properties that are reduced in size under the Density Bonus Provisions will continue to reflect their
original zone (i.e. RS-1d, or RS-1b) in compliance with the land use designations of the Albion Area
Plan.
Amenity Contributions:
As all of the proposed parcels created will be using these density bonusing provisions, the potential
contribution from this program will be 31 lots at $3,100.00, or a $96,100.00 contribution. The
Community Amenity Contribution Program will also apply, for 31 lots at $5,100.00, for an additional
$158,100.00 contribution.
These amounts are a reflection of total anticipated lot yield and will be reduced if the lot yield is
reduced.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
- 5 -
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an
area designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver
Valley Area Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to Second Reading the
applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy
6.20.

SUBJECT: Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7205-2016
12106 230 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 12106 230 Street, from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential
District), to permit a future subdivision of approximately 2 lots. Council granted first reading to Zone
Amending Bylaw No.7205-2016 on February 9, 2016.
This application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP). Pursuant to Council
resolution, this application is exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution Program, because it
is proposing one additional lot.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7205-2016 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 Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of
the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement;
ii)Road dedication on 230 Street, as required;
iii)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management; and
iv) 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. If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that the
subject property is not a contaminated site.

2) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 12106 Street, from RS-1
(One Family Urban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential District)
to permit future subdivision into two lots. The proposed lot size of 538m2 – 695m2 will ensure
compatibility with existing lots in the surrounding neighbourhood. The existing residence will remain
on the northern portion of the property, with the new lot proposed on the southern portion. Access
for the new lot is proposed to be off of 230 Street.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The OCP designates the subject property as Urban Residential, and development of the property is
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 area. The proposed
rezoning to R-1 (Residential District) is in conformance with the Urban Residential designation and
infill policies. No OCP amendment will be required to allow the proposed R-1 (Residential District)
zoning.
- 3 -
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), to R-1 (Residential District) to permit future
subdivision into two lots. The minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is
371m2 (3993 ft2). The proposed lots will be larger than required, at 695 m 2 (7480 ft2) and 538 m2
(5790 ft2). No variations from the requirements of the proposed zone are anticipated at this point in
time of the process.
4) Environmental Implications:
The Arborist Report prepared by Koome Urban Forestry, dated April 29, 2016, identifies a number of
trees for removal and a number for retention. The City required two modifications to the
recommendations in the report. A Tree Permit application is required, and the permit can be issued
after subdivision approval. There will be no requirement for replacement trees on site due to the
number of trees being retained. Street trees will be included in the Engineering Servicing Agreement.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed rezoning to R-1 (Residential District) is in conformance with the Urban Residential
designation and infill policies of the OCP. It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7205-2016, and that application 2015-345-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

2) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to
RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit 41 townhouse units, with access from 237th Street. All of
the units are proposed to have double car garages and three bedrooms. The proposed unit size
ranges from 126 m2 to 139 m2 (1,355 ft2 – 1,492 ft2). Rezoning requirements include dedication at
the north property line to create a lane (120A Lane) that will eventually connect from 237th (west
edge) to 238 Street (east edge). The completion of this access route will occur incrementally with
successive applications for redevelopment of the remaining lots on this portion of Dewdney Trunk
Road.
- 3 -
3) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the Urban Area Boundary and is designated Urban Residential
in the OCP. The subject property fronts Dewdney Trunk Road, which is identified as a Major Corridor
in Figure 4, Appendix E of the OCP. There are a range of development options that comply with
Major Corridor Residential Infill policies subject to neighbourhood compatibility and context. Major
Corridor residential infill options are described in Policy 3-20, as follows:
Major Corridor Residential Infill developments must be designed to be compatible with the
surrounding neighbourhood and will be evaluated against the following criteria:
a) building forms such as single detached dwellings, duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes,
townhouses, apartments, and small lot intensive residential developments subject
to Policy 3-21;
b) a maximum height of two and one-half storeys with an emphasis on ground
oriented units for all developments except for apartments;
c) a maximum height of four storeys for apartments; and
d) adherence to Development Permit Guidelines for multi-family and intensive
residential developments as outlined in Chapter 8 of the Official Community Plan.
Compatibility criteria for residential infill are further detailed in Policy 3-21 which states:
All Neighbourhood and Major Corridor Residential infill developments will respect and reinforce
the physical patterns and characteristics of established neighbourhoods, with particular attention
to:
a) the ability of the existing infrastructure to support the new development;
b) the compatibility of the site design, setbacks, and lot configuration with the
existing pattern of development in the area;
c) the compatibility between building massing and the type of dwelling units in the
proposed development and the surrounding residential properties;…
The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is in compliance with the Urban Residential land
use designation. Neighbourhood compatibility considerations include similar height and massing to
existing single family homes. Construction of 120A Lane along the north property line will ensure an
additional setback distance between then existing single family homes and the new proposed
townhouses.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 23729 Dewdney Trunk
Road, from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit
approximately 41 townhouse units. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) zone is 8,000 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zone is 557 m2. This application includes requests for variances, which are discussed
in greater detail later in this report.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application 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.
- 4 -
Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw specifies that the RM-1 Zone provide 2.0 parking stalls per
dwelling unit, with an additional 0.2 stalls per unit for visitor parking. As this development proposes
41 dwelling units, the total number of required parking units is 82 regular stalls and 9 visitor stalls
for a total requirement of 91 stalls.
There are 82 stalls proposed that will be enclosed in the double garage proposed for each unit. An
additional 30 tandem stalls on unit aprons are proposed for units with sufficient driveway length to
accommodate them. There are 12 visitor stalls proposed that are distributed throughout the site.
These additional stalls amount to a total number of 124 stalls to be provided, whereas 91 stalls are
required..
Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following relaxations (see Appendix D):
1. Exterior Side Yard Setback: The required setback is 7.5 metres, and the proposed
setback is 6.0 metres.
2. Interior Side Yard Setback. The required setbacks to the lane are 6.0 metres. The
structural supports for decking are setback 4.48 metres from this property line.
3. Rear Yard Setback. The required rear yard setbacks are 7.5 metres. The structural
supports for decking are 6.35 from the rear property line.
4. Siting. Required: A continuous 90 degree horizontal arc unencumbered by
buildings on the same lot of a radius not less than 15 metres from the centre of all
required windows in a living room. The site plan proposes a radius of 12 meters for
this purpose.
These requested variances to the RM-1 Zone will be the subject of a future Council report. In
addition to the above, the Engineering Department notes that under certain circumstances, the
Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw requirement for underground Hydro and telephone
wires may be varied. If eligible for this exemption, the applicant would be required to provide funds
in order that in the future these services could be provided underground.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application 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.
Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development
and the landscape plans at a meeting held on October 11, 2016. Following a presentation of
the project plans by the project team, the Advisory Design Panel made the following resolution:
That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the develops and be
submitted to Planning staff for follow-up:
1. Consider carrying forward the frontage finishes on rear of buildings for further architectural
variation.
Frontage finishes were carried forward on the area of the building for further architectural
variation. These changes are reflected in revised elevation drawings and will be detailed in the
Development Permit report.
- 5 -
2. Consider the south façade to be more pedestrian oriented and interactive. Possibly achieved by
trellis, landscape and or building elevation treatments.
Larger windows and trellises will be provided on the Dewdney Trunk Road frontage.
3. Consider further emphasis on the pedestrian entryways off of Dewdney Trunk Road.
Trellises were also added at pedestrian entries off Dewdney Trunk Road.
4. Consider wrapping the Tudor finishes around the sides of the units.
This feature was included in the original plan.
5. Consider additional traffic calming with different hard surface finishes accented throughout
development.
This change will be reflected in the landscape drawings.
6. Consider internal pathway connections along rear of buildings five, six, seven and eight.
This change would impact the provision of private backyards, which the applicant considers a
greater priority for resident enjoyment. In addition, the applicant states this change would affect
the required provision of usable open space specified for each dwelling unit.
7. Provide further landscape enhancements at corner of 237th Street and Dewdney Trunk and at
entryway adjacent to open space play area.
The applicant has agreed to make these changes.
The ADP concerns have been addressed and are reflected in the current plans. A detailed
description of how these items were incorporated into the final design will be included in a future
development permit report to Council.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Hammond Hall on September 20, 2016. A total of
17 people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the
attendees was provided by the applicant. The main concern noted was parking in the area and the
impacts that additional residences (and vehicles) would bring to the neighbourhood. The applicant
has responded by providing more off street parking than required with 30 apron stalls and 3 extra
visitor stalls.
4) Environmental Implications:
The application was referred to the Environmental Section of the Planning Department. No concerns
were noted. The Arborist’s report noted that all of the existing trees would need to be removed. The
required process would be a tree cutting permit and provisions for replacement trees on the site.
5) Traffic Impact:
A traffic impact assessment has been submitted in support of this proposal. No significant impacts
were noted.
6) Interdepartmental Implications:
Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department confirms that the site may be served by the existing sewer. Required
upgrades will include 237th Street to a collector standard. Dedication will be required along
Dewdney Trunk Road and for the lane at the north property line.
- 6 -
License, Permits and Bylaws Department:
Building Department comments will be provided for the Development Permit, and will be before
Council as part of this development process.
Fire Department:
Fire Department comments include:
the need for a Construction Fire Safety Plan;
submission of architectural plans for pre-incident planning;
specifications for emergency access;
private fire hydrant requirements for this strata development; and
security measures for existing structures prior to demolition
6) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Opportunities for public comment have been provided at the Development Information Meeting. An
additional opportunity will be provided at the required Public Hearing for this application.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7220-2016, and that
application 2016-009-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
12257 227 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application 2011-137-DVP has been received in conjunction with
Rezoning, Subdivision and Intensive Residential Development Permit applications to create three R-3
(Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots. The requested variances are to:
1.Reduce 227 Street arterial road width from 26m (85.3 ft.) down to 20.5m (67.3 ft.);
2.Reduce 122 Avenue local road width from 18m (59.1 ft.) down to 15m (49.2 ft.);
3.Reduce the road allowance for the lane west of 227 Street from 7.5m (24.6 ft.) down to 6m
(19.7 ft.);
4.Reduce the constructed lane width from 6m (19.7 ft.) down to 5.9m (19.4 ft.);

lot line with a rear lot line, down to 2.6m (8.5 ft.); and
6.Reduce the height requirement of a landscape screen around an un-concealed Off-Street
Parking Use from a minimum of 1m (3.3 ft.) to 1m (3.3 ft.) or less.
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2011-137-RZ on February 28,
2017. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2011-137-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2011-137-DVP respecting the property
located at 12257 227 Street.

Companion Applications: 2011-137-RZ/SD/IRDP
b) Project Description:
The subject property, located at 12257 227 Street, is within the Town Centre area, is relatively flat,
and is bounded by single family residential properties to the north, west, east and south (see
Appendices A and B). This Development Variance Permit application is accompanied by a Rezoning,
Subdivision, and Intensive Residential Development Permit application. The applicant is proposing
to rezone to subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity
Residential District), to permit the subdivision of three R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) lots,
not less than 256 m² (2,755 ft²).
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw and Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw establish general minimum and
maximum regulations for single 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):
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule B – Minimum
Widths: To reduce the road allowance on 227 Street from 26m (85.3 ft.) down to 20.5m
(67.3 ft.).
2. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule B – Minimum
Widths: To reduce the road allowance on 122 Avenue from 18m (59.1 ft.) down to 15m
(49.2 ft.).
These variances can be supported as the existing roads are already constructed to the required
width, therefore no further carriageway expansion is required.
3. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule B – Minimum
Widths: To reduce the lane allowance from 7.5m (24.6 ft.) down to 6m (19.7 ft.).
4. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule C – Standard
Drawings and Specifications: To reduce the constructed lane width from 6m (19.7 ft.) down
to 5.9m (19.4 ft.).
These variances can be supported as the required servicing can fit within the provided road
allowance and constructed width.
- 3 -
5. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 401 (3) (c): Prohibited access or egress
driveway within 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) of the point of intersection of an exterior side lot line with a
rear lot line: To reduce the distance of the point of intersection down to 2.6m (8.5 ft.).
This variance can be supported as there is not expected to be a high amount of traffic using this lane
and 122 Avenue is not expected to be a busy street.
6. Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 601 C. B. CONDITIONS OF USE 2. b) An
Accessory Off-Street Parking Use, when not concealed, shall be bound on an exterior side
yard by a landscape screen of not less than one metre in height: to reduce the height
requirement to 1m (3.3 ft.) or less.
This variance can be supported as it allows compliance with Section 403 (7) (ii) for Visual Clearance
at Intersections for the intersection of a lane with a street, which prohibits any fence, wall or
structure other than a permitted building or any hedge, bush, shrub, tree or other growth to be
allowed to grow to a height greater than 1m (3.3 ft.) in the area bounded by 6m (19.7 ft.) from their
point of intersection. The majority of the car pad is proposed to be screened; however if a car were
to park closer to the lane, it would only be permitted to have a screen of up to 1m in height within
the 6m visual clearance area.
d) Citizen 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 because the existing roads are constructed to their required
width, servicing can fit within the lane provided, and the lane is not expected to serve a high amount
of traffic. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the
Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2011-137-DVP.

SUBJECT: Intensive Residential Development Permit
12257 227 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An Intensive Residential Development Permit application has been received for the subject property,
located at 12257 227 Street, for three R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoned lots. The site
is located within the Town Centre Area Plan and has a land use designation of Single Family
Residential. The Intensive Residential Development Permit provides a greater emphasis on high
standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment, with the intent to provide an
environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly and environmentally responsive.
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2011-137-RZ on February 28,
2017.
It is recommended that Intensive Residential Development Permit 2011-137-DP be approved.

b) Project Description:
The subject property, located at 12257 227 Street, is within the Town Centre Area Plan, is relatively
flat, and is bounded by single family residential properties to the north, west, east and south (see
Appendices A and B). This Intensive Residential Development Permit application is accompanied by
a Rezoning, Subdivision, and Development Variance Permit application. The applicant is proposing
to rezone to subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity
Residential District), to permit the subdivision of three R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District)
zoned lots, not less than 256 m² (2,755 ft²) (see Appendix C).
c) Planning Analysis:
An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all new Intensive Residential
developments with R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoning. Section 8.8 Intensive
Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan (OCP) aims to
provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics, with the intent to provide an
environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly and environmentally responsive. The key
guidelines for the development permit area are as follows:
1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design of
varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in landscapes
and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices.
The proposed subdivision layout will enhance connectivity through the construction of a lane
to the rear of the three new lots. The three single-family homes have been designed to have
three unique front elevations while maintaining a compatible building design in terms of
materials used and architectural styles. Differing front elevations in number of gables and
size, number and location of windows provide the varied look (see Appendix D).
2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by
maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the
rear of a property accessible by a lane.
The three lots are designed with off-street parking to the rear of the properties, accessible by
a lane. Two of the houses have two-car garages with the third house having a single-car
garage and parking pad.
- 3 -
d) Requested Variances
A Development Variance Permit accompanies this Intensive Residential Development Permit for the
following variances:
1. Reduce 227 Street arterial road width from 26m (85.3 ft.) down to 20.5m (67.3 ft.);
2. Reduce 122 Avenue local road width from 18m (59.1 ft.) down to 15m (49.2 ft.);
3. Reduce the road allowance for the lane west of 227 Street from 7.5m (24.6 ft.) down to 6m
(19.7 ft.);
4. Reduce the constructed lane width from 6m (19.7 ft.) down to 5.9m (19.4 ft.);
5. Reduce the driveway access within 7.5m (24.6 ft.) of point of intersection of an exterior side
lot line with a rear lot line, down to 2.6m (8.5 ft.); and
6. Reduce the height requirement of a landscape screen around an un-concealed Off-Street
Parking Use from a minimum of 1m (3.3 ft.) to 1m (3.3 ft.) or less.
The requested variances are the subject of a separate report to Council under application 2011-137-
DVP.
CONCLUSION:
This proposal conforms to the Official Community Plan for the Town Centre Area, the Intensive
Residential Development Permit Guidelines, and the neighbourhood’s existing lot and road pattern.
It is therefore recommended that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Intensive
Residential Development Permit 2011–137-DP respecting the property located at 12257 227
Street.

b) Project Description:
The subject property located at 23154 136 Avenue is 3.51 hectares (8.66 acres) in area. The
applicant is proposing to rezone a portion of the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to
R-2 (Urban Residential District) to permit a subdivision of 27 single family lots. In the first phase of
the development the existing house will remain on Lot 27 but is intended to be further subdivided
into 5 lots when the house is removed. The remainder of the property will be dedicated as Park for
protection of the watercourses, riparian habitat and environmentally sensitive areas.
A multi-purpose/horse trail will continue across this property as an extension of the trail constructed
across the new developments to the west (Nelson Peak, Hampstead, and the adjacent property).
The trail will head north up through the panhandle to the south shoulder of 136 Street.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process. The requested variances and rationale for support are described below (see Appendix C):
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services and
Utilities: To reduce the road right-of-way from 13 m (42.7 ft) to 12 m (39.4 ft) for 135A
Avenue and 231 Street.
The proposed servicing design has been reviewed by the Engineering Department. This variance is
supportable as the portions of road with a reduced road right-of-way are adjacent to park land, and
the parkland will accommodate the boulevard and street tree on one side of the road (see Appendix
C). Additionally, all required servicing is provided in the reduced right-of-way. Parking will be
provided along the residential side of the street.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6 RESIDENTIAL ZONES, Section 601B, D. 2.
To reduce the front yard setback for lot 27 from 5.5 m (18 ft) to 0.7 m (2.3 ft).
The existing home and accessory structures will be maintained on proposed lot 27. In the future, a
subsequent subdivision may occur to create an additional five single family lots. This variance is
required to maintain the existing detached garage structure, and is an interim variance until the
- 3 -
ultimate subdivision layout is achieved (see Appendix D). The future five lots will be required to be
sited in accordance with the R-2 (Urban Residential District) zone.
3.Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6 RESIDENTIAL ZONES, Section 601B, D. 2.
To reduce the rear yard setback from 8 m (26.2 ft) to 6 m (19.7 ft) for lots 9-14 and 23.
The lots for which a rear yard setback is being requested back on to a park space, which will reduce
the interface issue with adjacent properties. The proposed variance will still ensure an adequate
and useable back yard space (see Appendix E).
d)Citizen 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 due to the adjacent parkland, which reduces the impact on
adjacent properties and maintains the same level of functionality for on-street parking, servicing, and
back yards. Additionally, the front yard setback for proposed lot 27 will permit the existing garage to
remain until future subdivision occurs. It is therefore recommended that this application be
favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development
Variance Permit 2013-085-DVP.

a) Project Description:
The subject property is located in the Albion Area Plan and is surrounded by single family residences
to the north, east, and west; and is bordered by 113 Avenue to the south. The applicant proposes to
subdivide the property into seven single family lots that will be accessed via a new local road.
Environmentally sensitive land has been dedicated as park through the rezoning process.
The proposed subdivision design is comprised of a local cul-de-sac road along the eastern property
line. Two thirds of the road right-of-way will be dedicated and constructed with the subject
application, including the western boulevard and the full driving surface. The eastern boulevard
would be expected to be dedicated and constructed through subsequent development of the
property to the east.
The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed servicing design, and has indicated that the
proposed cul-de-sac road is ideally located to service future lots on both the west and east side,
while protecting the riparian areas of two branches of Seigel Creek. Servicing connections for the
proposed lots on the west side, as well as anticipated future lots on the east side will be installed by
the current developer. This arrangement is preferred over a two road design, which may prove to be
unfeasible due to the existing topography and watercourses located on both the subject property and
the neighbouring property to the east.
Due to the difference in elevation between the two properties, a retaining wall along the east
property line is required as part of the road design. Four existing trees have been identified on the
neighbouring property to the east that have root zones that extend over the property line onto the
subject property. The applicant’s arborist identified that the retaining wall would have a negative
impact on the neighbouring trees’ root zones, and that the trees needed to be removed to proceed
with road construction.
After approaching the adjacent property owner to discuss removal of the trees, the applicant has
indicated to the Planning Department that they have been unable to obtain approval to remove the
neighbouring trees. The applicant has therefore revised the road design to narrow the carriage way
width where the root zones are located to ensure that no damage occurs to the trees.
b) Variance Analysis:
The Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum
regulations for single family development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some
flexibility in the approval process. The requested variance and rationale for support are described
below:
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services and
Utilities: To reduce the road carriage way for the proposed local road from 8.6 m (28 ft) to 6
m (19.7 ft) at two specific locations.
The Engineering Department has considered the road design revision and has noted that the
reduced carriage way width will impact the availability of some, but not all on-street parking on the
east side of the proposed road. The required services can still be accommodated within the
proposed road right-of-way.
- 3 -
Should the neighbouring parcel to the east develop in the future, tree removal would be required and
the full road carriage way and right-of-way width would be provided through development. The
Engineering Department is in support of the proposed variance as it is an interim reduction in
servicing standard, and impacts the availability of on-street parking only rather than the safety of the
travel lanes. Lastly, the proposed road location is efficiently located from a design perspective to
service lots on both rather than only one side.
The developer’s arborist and the City Arborist have reviewed the revised road design and conclude
that the increased distance between the retaining wall and tree root protection zones will be
sufficient to ensure tree survival.
c) Citizen 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 variance is supported to ensure neighbouring trees are protected through the
development of the subject property. The proposed road is located in the most appropriate location
to facilitate future development to the east. All necessary servicing requirements will be provided in
the proposed road allowance, and it is anticipated that the full carriageway width will be achieved
through future development. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably
considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit
2015-260-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit and Development Permit
20803 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
A new Development Permit is proposed for an A&W Restaurant, which will be located in the eastern
portion of the subject site (Appendix A & B). Council issued Development Permit 2013-018-DP on
July 23, 2013 for a two phase commercial development. Phase 1, consisting of an 895 m2 Kal Tire
automotive service building, is constructed on the west side of the subject property. Phase 2, on the
east side of the property, is proposed to be changed by Development Permit Application 2015-097-
DP, from a 599 m2 retail building to an approximately 200 m2 A&W Restaurant with drive through.
The existing Service Commercial CS-1 Zone of the subject site accommodates restaurants.
The applicant is also seeking to apply Section 3.7 of the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw. This
provision allows for shared parking at a reduced level if a parking study proves that two uses have
their peak period of use occurring at different times of the day. Up to a quarter of the parking
provided may be shared between two uses. This is not a variance, but a provision of general
application. This circumstance rarely presents itself; therefore, it is not commonly employed at the
development permit or building permit stages. The parking study concluded that peak parking times
for the two uses on the site will occur at different times of the day. Acceptance by the Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure is pending.
A Development Variance Permit has also been requested, to vary the setback to the front lot line
(Lougheed Highway) for two components for a proposed arch feature associated with the A&W
Restaurant. The base of the arch is to be varied from 9.0 metres to 6.56 metres and projection over
the drive-through lane from 9.0 metres to 3.84 metres.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2015-397-DVP respecting property located
at 20803 Lougheed Highway; and
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2015-397-DP respecting property located

b) Project Description:
This application is to permit the construction of a second building having an area of about 200 sq.
m. for an A&W Restaurant with a drive-through on the eastern part of the property at 20803
Lougheed Highway. The 895 sq. m. Kal Tire automotive service building was built a few years ago on
the western part of the lot. The proposed A&W restaurant and the existing Kal Tire building have
customer parking located in between the two buildings, with two shared access driveways. One of
the shared driveways is off Lougheed Highway and the other is off 119 Avenue.
The design of the two buildings will have some common building materials (cultured brick-like stone)
and fully integrated landscaping incorporated into the project. The A&W Restuarant will otherwise be
the prototypical A&W building in terms of the architecture, corporate colours and branding. In
addition, the A&W Restaurant and Kal-Tire share a similar orange corporate colour further tying
together the building designs. The A&W Restaurant has 60 indoor and 6 outdoor seats for a total of
66 seats.
A parking lot with 56 parking spaces (including 8 service bays in the Kal Tire building as allowed in
the Bylaw) will have access by one driveway from Lougheed Highway in the south and another one
from 119 Avenue in the north.
- 3 -
The parking requirement for the two uses individually is calculated as follows:
Vehicle repair (1/20 sq. m.): 47 spaces (including 8 bays)
Restaurant (1/4 seats, indoor and outdoor seats): 17 spaces
Total: 64 spaces
The Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw allows for shared parking where the maximum demand
among uses on a property occurring at different periods of the day, provided this is supported by a
parking study. Specifically, the applicant wishes to apply Section 3.7 Multiple Use Developments
regulation from the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw to this project, which states:
Shared parking facilities of two or more Commercial, Educational, Assembly, Civic and
Institutional establishments may be permitted when the maximum demand for such parking
facilities by the individual establishments occurs at different periods of the day, and is
supported by a parking study. The parking spaces so provided shall not be less than 75% of
the total required by the individual uses.
If this provision is utilized, no parking variance would be required.
The Traffic and Parking Study supplied by the applicant has concluded at the bottom page 4 that:
It is anticipated the peak parking times for the two uses on the site will occur at different
times of the day, allowing for shared use of the parking on the site.
The operation of the Kal Tire Store is from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday thru Saturday. As
noted in the trip generation rates, the peak time for the Kal Tire store occurs between 4 PM
and 5 PM, when clients are picking up their vehicles from service work performed
during the day.
The A & W restaurant is anticipated to be in operation from 5:00 AM until 11 PM, with drive
thru open 24 hours. The addition of the drive thru has an impact on the daily trip generation,
and results in a reduction in the number of in store visits. As noted in the trip generation
rates, the peak time for the restaurant occurs during the AM Peak Hour, between 8 AM and
9 AM, when a majority of the clients are using the drive thru for breakfast pick up.
The offsetting times for peak trip generation for the two uses on the site will correlate into
offsetting times for peak parking demand. We therefore anticipate the minor reduction in the
overall site parking will be mitigated by the offset in the peak time of day vehicle arrival and
departure.
This Traffic and Parking Study satisfies the requirement that peak parking will occur at different
times and share parking may be employed.
That said the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has jurisdiction to consider parking
and circulation in granting access approval for properties along this portion of the Lougheed
Highway. The conclusion concerning shared parking in the Traffic and Parking Study has not yet been
accepted by MOTI.
- 4 -
Council has these options:
Council may issue this permit before MOTI responds. If MOTI does not permit shared parking
to be applied, then the full number of parking spaces would be provided. This would be
secured at the Building Permit Application stage. The accommodation of the increased
parking would be done with the submission of revised plans through a development permit
minor amendment process at the staff level. In such an instance, the parking layout and
landscaping would change, without negatively impacting form and character of the project.
Council may defer a decision until the Traffic and Parking Study is accepted by MOTI. If
accepted, Council may consider issuing the permit with the shared parking. If not, the
applicant could submit a revised plan with the full complement of parking and Council may
consider issuing the permit with the revised plan.
Respecting the shared parking calculation in the Traffic and Parking Report, staff notes that eight (8)
of the parking spaces are contained within the Kal-Tire building and are only used for vehicles being
serviced. These 8 spaces are not to be included in the calculation because they do not contribute to
a shared arrangement. Therefore, there are two ways of considering the reduction due to sharing:
The reduction from 64 (including the 8 bay spaces) to 48 parking spaces is a 25% reduction
which is in compliance with the 75% rule in Section 3.7 Multiple Use Developments
regulation; or
The reduction based on surface parking is from 56 (excluding the bays because they cannot
be shared) to 48, which is a 9% reduction.
Therefore, the 48 surface parking spaces being proposed comply with the 75% rule contained in the
Section 3.7 Multiple Use Developments regulation. This reduction does not require a development
variance to implement because it is permitted outright by the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw.
The access and queuing lane have been reviewed and are acceptable to the MOTI. Once verified
that the revised Traffic and Parking Study is accepted by MOTI, the shared parking being proposed
would comply with the provisions of the Off Street Parking and Loading Bylaw.
c) Planning Analysis:
Form and Character Analysis:
The property is suitably designated and zoned. The Official Community Plan designation is
Commercial and the site is zoned to CS-1 (Service Commercial).
The project is subject to the Key Guideline Concepts and the form and character guidelines
contained in section 8.5 Commercial Development Permit Guidelines.
The following is a brief description and assessment of the proposal’s compliance with the applicable
Key Development Permit Guidelines provided by the applicant:
1. Avoid conflicts with adjacent uses through sound attenuation, appropriate lighting, landscaping,
traffic calming and the transition of building massing to fit with adjacent development.
Architect’s Comments:
Activity-oriented functions have been directed inwards to the site.
- 5 -
Lighting, landscaping, building massing and traffic-calming all respect the two adjacent
developments.
2. Encourage a pedestrian scale through providing outdoor amenities, minimizing the visual
impact of parking areas, creating landmarks and visual interest along street fronts.
Architect’s Comments:
Pedestrian and cycling access has been provided.
Screening has been provided to parking areas.
Street tree plantings have ben provided in accordance with city bylaw.
3. Promote sustainable development with multimodal transportation circulation, and low impact
building design.
Architect’s Comments:
Multimodal transportation circulation has been provided.
Sustainable construction materials and techniques will be utilized on this project.
4. Respect the need for private areas in mixed use development and adjacent residential areas.
Architect’s Comments:
Not applicable.
5. The form and treatment of new buildings should reflect the desired character and pattern of
development in the area by incorporating appropriate architectural styles, features, materials,
proportions and building articulation.
Architect’s Comments:
Proportional A&W building with corporate identity.
Staff Comments:
The proposed articulation, massing and surface finishes, including cultured brickwork below
the windows, reflects the desired character and pattern established by the existing Kal-Tire
development and is successfully integrated with the corporate branding, colours and image
of the A&W Corporation.
Variance Analysis
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for developments. A
Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below:
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 7, Section 708 Service Commercial (CS-1)
Sub-section 7 Sitting, clause a) is varied to reduce the front lot line setback from a minimum
of 9 metres to a minimum of 6.56 metres for the base of the arch feature and 3.84 metres
for arch feature projection.
The rational for the variance is that the arch element is part of the commercial branding and will
incorporate the sign for this business and does not detract from the landscaping to be planted
between the drive-through aisle and the front lot line (Lougheed Highway).
- 6 -
d) Advisory Design Panel:
The application was reviewed and supported by the Advisory design Panel on December 13, 2016,
subject to addressing concerns as noted below:
1. Provide additional signage details on potential pylon sign or arch.
Architect’s Response: Architect will enclose in the re-submission package.
2. Provide separation of patio area from cars / drive thru (fencing, handrail, planters, bollards).
Architect’s Response: Pre-fabricated prototypical A & W low planter boxes are shown around
the patio perimeter as per the revised site plan.
3. Consider adjusting location of garbage enclosure to the west for tree retention.
Architect’s Response: The trees cannot be saved due to close proximity to the construction
area, including the paved parking lot according to the arborist’s report. Furthermore, the
current location is better aligned with the orientation of the garbage truck, and with larger
maneuvering area to accommodate the turning radius of the garbage trucks.
4. Consider the addition of landscape treatment on south side of the drive thru for a continuous
planting along property line.
Architect’s Response: Additional low landscaping is provided along the property line in order
to eliminate headlight glares onto westbound traffic along Lougheed Highway, as per the
revised landscape drawing.
5. Consider additional landscape treatment for central parking area to break up hard surface
and better reflect the neighbouring Kal Tire.
Architect’s Response: Additional landscape island is provided to replace the previous paver
areas between parking stalls, similar to Kal Tire site, as per the revised landscape drawing.
6. Consider locating the bike racks out of pedestrian circulation route to main doors.
Architect’s Response: The bike rack has been reduced from 6 to 4 stalls, and relocated
slightly closer to the building with slightly increased width of sidewalk to better accommodate
pedestrian traffic when the bikes are parked in place, as per the revised site plan.
7. Consider substitution of the low brown cement board border with stone treatment façade,
similar to adjacent Kal Tire.
Architect’s Response: All parties and A & W Corporation have agreed to introduce the
common stonework along the base of the A & W building and the sign base.
8. Consider additional separation between boomerang slope roof and glazing on west elevation
Architect’s Response: Spandrel panels are now proposed to replace clear glazing to allow the
similar relationship between the bottom of the boomerang and the top of the storefront
system as per the revised exterior elevation.
- 7 -
9. Consider adjusting drive aisle width between building and central parking area to one way
traffic to increase pedestrian area around building.
Architect’s Response: The traffic flow and pattern have been endorsed by A & W Corporate
as well as by our traffic consultant, and therefore any revisions are not recommended.
10. Consider reversing hard surface treatment to provide pavers in driving aisles.
Architect’s Response: While the paving stones do work better with the storm water
management measure below parked vehicles, paving stones are extended along the north
and south sides of the central parking island to act as border treatments to connect to the
sidewalk directly in front of the building in order to delineate the significance of the highly
used drive aisle area between the island of parking and the building, as per the revised site
plan.
Staff Comment: The 4 narrow bands of brick to be imbedded in the asphalt across this
driving aisle is acceptable alternative to achieving this ADP recommendation.
11. Provide further definition of edge condition along east property line to highlight fencing and
grade transition to prevent pedestrians from crossing over drive thru lane.
Architect’s Response: Existing chain link fence will be extended towards Lougheed Highway
with wood posts and green vinyl coated chain link fence in order to be less visible within the
landscape buffer as a physical barrier to prevent crossover by pedestrians as per the revised
site plan and revised landscape drawing.
12. Consider traffic calming speed humps along main drive aisle access. Can be a unifying hard
surface treatment between both developments.
Architect’s Response: Asphalt speed bumps are provided to discourage bypass vehicular
traffic, and they will be painted bright reflective yellow in order to be highly visible to effect
the deterrence as per the revised site plan.
Staff Comment: Some narrow bands of brick are imbedded in the asphalt and repeated
across the driving aisle from the west side of the A&W building and the parking area to
satisfy both comments 10 and 12.
e) 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.
f) 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 $87,682.48 the security will be $87,682.48.
- 8 -
CONCLUSION:
The proposal to replace the currently approved Phase II project with an A&W Restaurant and drive
through has integrated to a sufficient level the appropriate architectural styles, character and pattern
of development in the area, including the existing Kal-Tire building on the same property. Therefore,
the proposal complied with the applicable requirements contained in OCP Section 8.5 Commercial
Development Permit Guidelines.
A variance is necessary to accommodate the placement of a partial arch element over the drive
through aisle along Lougheed Highway, to display the business logo and to control vehicle height
using the drive through.
The number of parking spaces for both the Kal-Tire and the A&W Restaurant are proposed to be
reduced through the shared parking provision contained within the Off Street Parking and Loading
Bylaw. MOTI approval is necessary. In the event Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI)
does not accept this shared arrangement, the parking layout can be adjusted through the building
permit application and a corresponding development permit minor amendment process on the staff
level, to achieve a full complement of parking (6 more parking spaces) under the Bylaw with no
further variances to the Zoning Bylaw.
Alternatively, Council may prefer further information from MOTI prior to the issuance of the
development permit.
Subject to the MOTI jurisdiction to approve parking along this stretch of Lougheed Highway, it is
recommended that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2015-397-VP and 2015-
397-DP respecting property located at 20803 Lougheed Highway.

SUBJECT: Ripe TX – Taxi License Application
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On January 30, 2017 a notice was received from Ripe TX (Ripe Holdings Inc.) advising the City that
they are applying to the Passenger Transportation Board (PTB) for 150 new taxi licenses to operate
(pick up and drop off) anywhere in the Greater Vancouver Regional District (Appendix A). Their
service model is to digitally dispatch taxis and advise that there would be no top lights, flagging or
taxi stands. The PTB requires that applicants notify municipalities of their application and a
municipal council may submit information or comments to the PTB regarding the application. It is
recommended that municipalities submit comments within 30 days of receiving the package.
Staff have outlined in this report their comments, questions, concerns.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That staff be directed to submit a letter to the Passenger Transportation Board summarizing the
comments in this report indicating that the City does not support the application by Ripe TX for 150
new taxi licenses to operate in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
DISCUSSION:
The Passenger Transportation Board regulates the issuance of taxi licenses. They provide an
opportunity for municipalities to comment on new applications and will take these comments into
consideration in decision making.
Upon receiving the Ripe TX application, Bylaws and the RCMP were contacted for input.
The following are staff comments, concerns;
Ripe TX have applied for 150 licences and they are planning to operate in the west from West
Vancouver to Maple Ridge in the east. There is nothing in the application that states how many
vehicles will be available in Maple Ridge, and they do mention that they will park these vehicles
throughout the Greater Vancouver Regional District where they anticipate demand. In the section of
the application which is addressed to us, they have not filled out how many vehicles they want to
operate specifically in our municipality.
Ripe TX has a main office in Victoria. This is not a dispatch office but rather a customer service
centre and administration office. All requests for taxi service would be made through a web site or
1133
Page 2 of 3
1661008
app. As they will not be having a dispatch office, but only working through an app, it may be difficult
to determine response times.
Staff have concerns with who exactly will own each of the 150 vehicles and be responsible for the
ongoing upkeep and maintenance, although there is mention of lease rates for drivers on page 6 of
7 of the document titled “Ripe Holdings Inc. Accessible Service Plan – Company Information”. Maple
Ridge Taxi Bylaw No. 6409-2006 states that an inspector can give notice to the owner that a vehicle
for hire is not in a fit or proper condition for use and such vehicle may not be used until the condition
is remedied. Currently regular inspections are conducted of all vehicles for hire used in Maple Ridge
to determine their condition. This could prove problematic with the vehicles being located all over the
Greater Vancouver Regional District. The bylaw also states that there must be an illuminated sign
bearing the word “cab” or “taxi” on each vehicle. This company’s proposal would be in violation of
that section of the bylaw if no such illuminated sign existed.
In addition, each driver must have a chauffeurs permit to operate in Maple Ridge so the question is,
will all 150 drivers actually operate in Maple Ridge at any given time or just some of the drivers. In
the application driver training is addressed.
It would have been prudent for the company to provide a more thorough report on how they plan
on doing business in such a large geographic area. It would be preferable for Ripe TX to provide
more information about how they operate. Specifically, staff would appreciate knowing:
• Are drivers on regular schedules with on-duty/off-duty times and how is this tracked?
• How does Ripe TX track driver activity in the leased vehicles (on and off duty)?
• Are they tracking driver routes from the time they are dispatched to when the meter is
concluded?
• Are they tracking driver routes when the drivers are not on a dispatched call but still mobile
and on duty?
• How does Ripe TX monitor fares – what is recorded, what is collected, how does this match
or not match the meter, how do they determine if fares are being collected unmetered and
unreported?
All of these questions are at this time not addressed in the application.
Alternatives:
Council may opt to not provide a response in relation to the Ripe TX application for taxi licenses.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff from Bylaws and the RCMP have provided comments and concerns above. Staff does not
support this application without further information and assurances being provided as noted herein.
Should Council have further comments or concerns, it would be advisable to have these concerns
included in any response to the application.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 20, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO: 01-0530-01
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C.O.W.
SUBJECT: Bylaw 7311-2017 Committee Appointments - Alternates
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Council advisory and steering committees are very important to municipal decision making. When
contemplating the membership for each committee, Council considers the types of skill sets that
would be suitable for specific committees and identifies types of individuals with those skill sets as
preferred appointees (e.g. a visual artist for the Public Art Steering Committee). On several
occasions the City has failed to attract the specific qualified individuals to fill the roles specified in
the committee bylaw, and for this reason it is recommended that Council adopt the attached bylaw
that would allow some flexibility when this occurs.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Bylaw 7311-2017 be given first, second and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
There are numerous Council advisory and steering committees which rely on the
participation of volunteers from the community. For most committees membership is
defined as individuals possessing specific skills, or members at large. Volunteers are
recruited through advertisements, over social media, through recommendations or through
recruitment efforts. Applications are reviewed and recommendations are brought forward for
Council final approval.
Over the past few months there have been several instances where staff have been unable
to fill member positions with specifically identified skills defined in the applicable committee
bylaw. However, there are other applicants that do not fit under those specific category
requirements but would be beneficial to have on the committee and would add value being
on the committee. Unfortunately the bylaws do not currently allow alternates to be
appointed.
1134
Page 2 of 3
1661067
Staff recommend amending these bylaws by adding the following language:
Under the heading: “The Committee will be comprised of the following [voting] members:”
Add to the end of the listing of member types:
“Council may choose to appoint members in a different configuration than that listed above
if a candidate meeting the specific membership description cannot be found to fill a vacancy
and an application is received from an alternate candidate who would be an asset to the
Committee.”
It should be noted that attempts will always be made to meet the criteria specified by
attracting the specially qualified or skilled members, and this additional clause would be only
be used in exceptional circumstances.
b) Desired Outcome(s):
The goal is to provide some flexibility in member appointments to Council advisory or steering
committees to ensure full membership on the committee can be achieved whenever
possible.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This change to the bylaws allows for greater public participation.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
There may be additional opportunities for citizens to engage through membership on
committees.
e) Alternatives:
Council may choose to not amend the applicable bylaws and leave as is. This may result in
vacancies on committees and the loss of interested individuals who are interested in
participating on committees but do not fit specific qualifications or hold specifically identified
skills.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff recommends adoption of Bylaw 7311-2017 which would allow Council to make alternative
appointments to committees and allow for flexibility in attracting and retaining committee members.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 20, 2016
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Cooperative Housing Federation BC and Community Land Trust BC Partnership
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the June 14, 2016 Council meeting, Tiffany Duzita, the Director of Development with the
Community Land Trust, gave a PowerPoint presentation introducing the Cooperative Housing
Federation of BC (“CHF BC”) and outlining its mandate. She provided information on the Community
Land Trust and its mission statement and spoke to a partnership with the City of Maple Ridge.
On June 14, 2016, Council directed staff to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with the Community Land Trust Foundation (CLT) to answer the call for an
Expression of Interest (EOI) issued by BC Housing to explore the potential for the creation
of affordable seniors housing in the proposed Civic and Culture Facility.
The City received confirmation in October 2016 that the affordable housing proposal was selected by
BC housing to proceed under the Investment in Housing Innovation program. To meet the funding
deadline BC Housing requires preliminary Project Approval by March 2017 in order for the
Community Land Trust to secure $2M towards the project. To date, the Civic Centre project has not
received approval by the City; however, recent discussions with BC Housing suggest the City’s
request can be moved from the “A” funding list to the “B” list to be reconsidered by BC Housing in
2018 once the City has completed the community facilities consultation process.
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff be directed to notify BC Housing and the Community Land Trust that the City of Maple
Ridge cannot meet the 2017 project approval deadline and wishes to be reconsidered as part of the
2018 funding intake.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
BC Housing has issued a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to partner with municipalities, non-
profit housing providers, community groups and the private sector to facilitate the creation of
affordable rental housing for low-to-moderate income households. The Cooperative Housing
Foundation of BC (CHFBC) and its non-profit subsidiary the Community Land Trust Foundation of
BC (CLT) are interested in partnering with municipalities to create affordable housing in
communities across the province.
The City entered into a non-binding MOU with the CLT to answer the EOI and explore the potential
for the creation of affordable seniors housing in the proposed town centre civic development.
Entering into the MOU with the CLT did not contractually oblige the City to move forward, even if
the feasibility study demonstrated that objectives were met for both parties. The results of the
1151
2
study (attachments 1 and 2) identified affordable seniors housing above the two floors of
proposed civic development just west of the Leisure Centre:
35 – 575ft2 , 1 bedroom rental units for seniors
Located above the 2 civic floors (proposed), floors 3, 4, 5 and 6
Utilize $2M in grant funding from the Province (reapply for 2018)
Rents to be no more than 30% of gross household income
City land lease with the Community Land Trust 60 to 99 years
The City of Maple Ridge’s Housing Action Plan clearly identifies a need for more affordable rental
options citing the availability of rental housing and the condition of existing rental stock as a
priority. Additionally, in the consultation report, both seniors and lone parent families were
identified as a population in need of affordable housing. This project in its current location would
be appropriate for seniors housing and the additional benefits of being close to services and
transit would be significant.
The study (attachments 1 and 2) is a full feasibility analysis including preliminary concept
drawings. Please note, the CLT was responsible for all costs associated with the study.
b) Desired Outcome:
That the City of Maple Ridge supports the creation of affordable rental housing for seniors.
c) Strategic Alignment:
The creation of affordable rental housing is in alignment with the Housing Action Plan.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Increasing access to affordable rental housing options especially for specialized populations
would benefit citizens and the community as a whole.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Community Services, Finance, Planning and Corporate Services would need to work together to
implement the recommendations from the feasibility study.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
There are no financial implications at this time, however if the proposed Civic Centre
development proceeds with the affordable seniors housing option:
The estimated project cost is $7.107M for the residential component; the net operating income
can support a mortgage of $5,038,000 requiring an equity contribution of $2,069,000. The $2M
grant from the province to the CLT covers the equity requirement. The difference of $69,000 is
marginal and can be absorbed through the project costs or debt financing.
g) Policy Implications:
The OCP contains supportive policies under section 3.2 Affordable, Rental and Special Needs
Housing. Specifically, the following policies speak to the support of affordable rental housing:
3 - 28 Maple Ridge will encourage partnerships with government and non-government agencies
to support the creation of affordable, rental and special needs housing in the community.
3 - 32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing
throughout the City. Where appropriate, the provision of affordable, rental, and special needs
housing will be a component of area plans.

CONCLUSION:
The need for affordable rental housing is significant in most large urban areas across the nation.
The City of Maple Ridge’s Housing Action Plan identifies a need for affordable rental housing with
senior and lone parent family populations in greatest need. The CHFBC and CLT are providing
innovative options to address the need for affordable rental housing and to support those in greatest
need of this type of housing.
The CLT in partnership with the City of Maple Ridge applied for funding from BC Housing was given
preliminary endorsement for a $2M grant to achieve affordable rental housing units for seniors in
the town centre development. In terms of timing, the City is unable to confirm that the Civic Centre
project will be proceeding by the March 2017 deadline as the City is currently gathering feedback
from the community on this project. Given this timing, BC Housing has indicated interest in moving
the City to the “B” list to be reconsidered for this funding at a future date.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: February 20, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW
SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Leisure Centre Lifecycle Improvement Plan
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Maple Ridge Leisure Centre (MRLC) upgrade was deferred in 2015 in order to determine the
potential for development and completion of a second aquatic facility to meet the need of a rapidly
growing City and to mitigate the impact of an extended closure of the MRLC facility by providing an
alternative location for users. Since that time, it has become apparent that a decision to proceed
with the MRLC upgrade has become more urgent and should be addressed prior to the conclusion of
the Parks Recreation & Culture facility community consultation, decision making, and potential
construction process.
At the Committee of the Whole on December 10, 2016, Council directed staff to provide a report
outlining the process of updating the MRLC retrofit plan including the proposed timeline, customer
implications and a potential funding source. This report provides Council with information on how the
aquatic retrofit and improvements to the MRLC can be achieved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff be directed to re-engage Shape Architecture to update the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre
mechanical room design to include the relocation of the pool mechanical systems to allow for future
additional underground parking and an outdoor plaza should the Civic Centre proceed in the future;
And,
That staff be directed to issue a request for proposal for detailed design of the priority improvements
described in the report dated February 20, 2017 and recommended in the Leisure Centre Facility
Space Planning Audit.
a)Background
The Maple Ridge Leisure Centre has been well used over the past 37 years and is now showing
signs of aging infrastructure. Although the facility saw an upgrade with the addition of a 25
metre teach pool and small wade pool in 2001 it is important to note that there were no
upgrades to the original pool structures and/or their operating systems. Over the past six years
staff has kept Council informed as to the ongoing challenges of managing aging infrastructure of
this nature.
In October 2011, the City hired AME Group, Consulting Professional Engineers to establish the
feasibility of repairing and/or replacing chlorine gas and mechanical systems. On receipt of this
report in December 2011, the existing systems were re-built including a series of alarms and
procedures to ensure staff and patron safety as an immediate priority. AME’s longer-term
1152

recommendation was to convert from gas to liquid chlorine with ultraviolet supplementation
which would require a major construction intervention.
In 2014 it was determined that both the leisure pool and hot tub had significant leakage and
that the source of the problems were beneath the pool and deck surface. Structural engineers
were hired and reported that although there were no signs of immediate danger, the structural
systems were compromised and would need to be repaired.
In November 2016, Council received a report on the Civic and Cultural Facility and Detailed
Design Process and a discussion on MRLC pool upgrades. At that time, Council directed staff to
advance detailed design of the Civic and Cultural Facility to 25% of final design. This requires
updated designs for the MRLC mechanical and chemical storage rooms to accommodate the
underground parking and plaza components of the Civic and Cultural Facility if that project
proceeds.
In December 2016 staff provided an update on the MRLC and recommended preparation of a
follow-up report outlining the process of updating the Leisure Centre retrofit plan including,
proposed timeline, customer implications and potential funding source, which Council endorsed.
Staff support proceeding with a retrofit of the MRLC as soon as possible. A new aquatics facility
is likely 4-5 years away from completion and the reliability of the aquatics area is a major
concern for staff. Failure of the filtration systems would result in immediate displacement of
customers resulting in significant impacts to all users. By planning for the retrofit in advance of
an unplanned closure, staff can liaise with neighboring municipalities such as Langley,
Abbotsford and Surrey to utilize pool space for the swim clubs and for other existing aquatics
users and prepare a plan to mitigate staff impacts.
Upon Council’s approval, staff will re-engage Shape Architecture to update the mechanical room
and liquid chlorine storage components of the previously prepared drawings to take into
consideration a possible future civic centre beside the MRLC. The estimated cost to complete
this updated design is $50,000.
Leisure Centre Facility Space Planning Audit
Council was provided with an update on the Leisure Centre Facility Space Planning Audit1
findings in December 2016, which is timely information given current planning for the MRLC.
A planned retrofit and closure affords the opportunity to complete additional improvements
recommended in this report that would have a significant positive impact on the customer
experience. The benefits to users include; improved accessibility for all ages and abilities,
improved control points, improved functionality, improved usability of existing program spaces,
and larger gathering spaces for social interaction.
Completing this work has the potential to produce economies of scale and reduce customer
impacts when done in tandem with the aquatics retrofit. The design and costs for these
improvements needs to be determined through a request for proposal process, as the scope of
work exceeds the contract scope previously completed by Shape Architecture.
The priority projects that staff recommend proceeding with from the Leisure Centre Facility Space
Planning Audit completed in 2016 include;

1. Redesign of the aquatics male, female and family changerooms by considering open and
accessible space to achieve the same standard of accessibility as will be achieved through
the aquatics pool design.
2. Provision of community and social gathering spaces by renovating the lobby, creating a
community living room, reconfiguring the reception desk, changing access control paths, and
unrestricted access to public washrooms.
Timeline to Complete MRLC Retrofit
Staff recommends that the pool retrofit be completed through a full closure of the aquatics area
for approximately 13 months. The alternative would be a phased in approach. This second
option would increase the construction length to 16 months, and would allow for intermittent
daily use of the competition pool during the closure. However, this is not recommended due the
invasive nature of the work which will impact the quality of the user experience, the length of the
overall project, and significantly increase project costs.
The construction is recommended to begin immediately to align the MRLC closure with the
operation of outdoor pool season and allow swim clubs and other users to utilize the Hammond
Outdoor Pool from May – September. This would be in addition to pool space secured in
surrounding municipalities.
The proposed timeline for completion of this work if approved by Council is:
February 2017 Re-engage Shape Architecture to update the detailed design drawings
April 2017 Initialize the tendering of the project for construction
June 2017 Council award of contract for construction
August 2017 MRLC renovation begins
September 2018 Renovation completed
Funding
The existing approved budget of $5.5 million consists of $3,792,000 from the Capital Works
Reserve (loan) and $1,708,000 through facility and infrastructure reserves. There has been
about $290,000 spent to date on detailed design.
To assist with costs, an additional $800,000 is available through lifecycle reserves in 2017. The
balance of any increased funding requirements can be internally financed similar to the original
funding model of the project. The internal financing is through the Capital Works Reserve with
repayment by facility lifecycle reserves. An increase in the loan would extend the existing
payback period of just under 5 years.
The construction costs for the retrofit as of November 2015 for a full pool closure was $4.8
million. The cost increased to $5.4 million if the project time was extended to accommodate
partial opening of one pool during construction. Today’s costs cannot be determined without a
reassessment of current market value.
An estimate for construction costs for the priority improvements from the Leisure Centre Facility
Space Planning Audit is an additional $1.37 million.
b) Desired Outcome:
To continue to provide high calibre recreation facilities for the benefit and enjoyment of the
community now and into the future.

c) Strategic Alignment:
In support of a safe and liveable community, and a robust and vibrant City Centre, the programs
and services offered at the Leisure Centre encourage active and healthy living among citizens
through the provision of a variety of exceptional recreational, educational and social activities.
d) Customer Implications:
The MRLC is well used by 60% of residents according to the 2014 Parks and Leisure Survey. The
central location of this facility, nearby a major transit hub, makes it highly accessible to the
community. Improvements will ensure reliability of use by future generations. The construction
to complete the renovations will necessitate aquatic service impacts on users regardless of a full
closure or a phased in approach.
Delaying the MRLC upgrades until the time when a second aquatics facility is completed would
significantly increase the risk of an unplanned closure of some or all of the pools should major
system components fail.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The overall combined project costs for the safety enhancements and accessibility
recommendations to the Leisure Centre Aquatics will likely continue to increase from the original
$4.8 million dollars as reported in November 2015, the approved $5.5 million in capital reserves
(loan) allocated to this project with an additional $800,000 available through lifecycle reserves
in 2017.
In addition, the priority improvements from the Leisure Centre Facility Space Planning report are
estimated to cost $1.37 million.
These additional funding requirements can be internally financed similar to the original funding
model of the project. The internal financing is through the Capital Works Reserve with
repayment by facility lifecycle reserves. An increase in the loan would extend the existing
payback period which is just under 5 years.
CONCLUSIONS:
Staff recommend proceeding with the MRLC retrofit. It makes good economic sense to maintain this
significant community asset in good condition for current and future generations. Staff recognize
that the retrofit project will significantly impact aquatic facility users for the estimated 13 months
period that it will take to complete this work but recommend this as approach to minimize overall
impacts and cost. Given this closure period, it makes sense to proceed with the additional priority
improvements described in this report and recommended in the Leisure Centre Facility Space
Planning report in order to achieve the same level of enhanced accessibility and service in these
areas as will be achieved through the aquatic improvements.
