At the July 4, 2017 Council Workshop, staff presented a list of immediate needs of the RMMLA and outlining items which can be dealt with on an immediate basis including increased access to synthetic turf fields, field markings to support girls’ lacrosse, lighting for the existing lacrosse boxes and a request for a new lit lacrosse box with a roof. Council subsequently directed staff “to provide potential locations for a new lacrosse box with lighting”. RECOMMENDATION: No resolution required. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: In further discussion with RMMLA representatives, in addition to providing lights and a roof to cover to an existing lacrosse box, the group’s highest priority is a new covered box with lights, sport court flooring, and washrooms/change rooms which they suggest could be used throughout the year and may benefit for indoor sports. Staff recommend that a lit, covered lacrosse box should be within a community level park or high school site, where other sports activities are typically held, providing sufficient area for the lacrosse box, buffering, supportive parking, and minimizing traffic on neighbourhood roads. Placing a box at a high school site provides additional benefits as the school may use the box while box users may use the school parking. Staff explored potential sites across the City’s park and school properties which could accommodate this size of facility and provide for parking. Maple Ridge and Thomas Haney Secondary school grounds, which have existing lacrosse boxes, along with Garibaldi, Samuel Robertson and Westview Secondary schools grounds cannot accommodate a covered box as there is insufficient available land or are at capacity to support additional facility parking. Community sports parks, such as Hammond Stadium or Albion Sports Complex, are also at capacity with considerable parking pressures. 702.5 2 Belle Morse Park/Albion Fairgrounds Site Staff suggest Belle Morse neighbourhood park, immediately adjacent the Albion Fairgrounds, as a potential location. While placing a facility like this in a neighborhood park is not considered ideal due to the smaller sizes which limits the ability to provide sufficient land base for the box, parking and buffering and is likely to result in complaints from nearby residents due to noise, traffic and facility operations, however this park is quite large and access could be provided through the Planet Ice entry off 105 Avenue with a vehicular bridge over the watercourse located to the east side of the ice facility. The east end of this park is not well utilized and there is adequate space to provide for the box, parking and a buffer for the neighbouring residents as shown on the attached concept. Costing In the July 4, 2017 Council Workshop report, high level costing for a lit outdoor lacrosse box was suggested in the $800,000 - $1,000,000 range which did not include costs for a roof structure or supportive parking. A lit, covered lacrosse box would cost approximately $1,200,000 without washrooms/change rooms and an additional $500,000 would be required to provide parking and access to support this use at Belle Morse Park. Costing breakdown for the Belle Morse Park/Albion Fairgrounds location is as follows: Cost Breakdown: Lacrosse box with lighting $800,000 Box Cover (open sides) $400,000 Parking $200,000 Vehicular bridge $300,000 TOTAL $1,700,000 Development Timeline Staff suggest that the development timeframe including community and stakeholder consultation would be approximately eight to twelve months and the process timeline is as follows: Stage Timeframe Geotechnical, environmental and site survey investigation 1-2 months Concept Design - Community & Stakeholder consultation 1 month Design RFP and detailed design 3-4 months Permits, environmental approvals and tendering 2-3 months Construction 1-2 months b) Desired Outcome: To provide Council with information on potential sites, costing and development timeframes for a lit lacrosse box and could include a cover to address the sports club’s request. c) Strategic Alignment: The Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan (2010) contains the strategic objective to continue to provide a variety of facilities in parks to support multiple uses, staying current with trends. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Lacrosse Association advised Council that lacrosse has been a rapidly growing sport in our community, including the establishment of girl’s teams, and additional access to facilities would better support this club. RMMLA would benefit from the provision of lighting at one or 3 both of the existing boxes in the short term and the provision of a new lit, covered lacrosse box which would provide increased box capacity throughout the year, especially from January to March when adverse weather conditions impact use of the lacrosse boxes. The covered box facility may be of benefit to other community sports groups. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Development Cost Charges are not an available funding source for a lacrosse box and this cost is not included in our current financial plan. Should Council wish to proceed with this request, a funding source would need to be identified. It should be noted that reserves have limited capacity due to other Parks, Recreation & Culture initiatives currently under consideration. f) Alternatives: Council may wish to direct staff to include this project in the Alternative Approval Process, should they wish to move ahead with a covered box. If approved, staff recommend next steps would include community consultation, geotechnical investigation and preliminary design work to provide more detailed costing. CONCLUSIONS: Minor Lacrosse’s priority is for a lit, covered box with a sports court surface, which they feel would also benefit other sports groups when not being used by Lacrosse. Belle Morse Park has a potential area to accommodate the box facility, parking to support the use and buffering for neighbouring residents. Locating this facility in close proximity to the Fairgrounds may be of benefit to other lacrosse events already hosted here, providing both additional covered floor space and parking. “Original signed by Valoree Richmond” Prepared by: Valoree Richmond, Manager of Parks Planning & Operations “Original signed by David Boag” Reviewed by: David Boag, Director Parks & Facilities “Original signed by Kelly Swift” Approved by: Kelly Swift, General Manager: Parks, Recreation & Culture “Original signed by Paul Gill” Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer :vr Attachment: Belle Morse Park/Albion Fairgrounds Outdoor Box location concept City of PittMeadows District ofLangley District of Mission FRASER R . ^37 911 171 3 1921 231933 11 21333333 3 1 3 3 7 33333 3 1733 3 3 3 93 91 9 4 6 8 2 161412 182222 28 141864 18 8 416126 4 515155 1020202010DATE: Sep 29, 2017 FILE: Untitled Belle Morse Lacrosse Box The City of Maple Ridge makes no guarantee regarding the accuracy or present status of the information shown on this map.

I have attached the DRAFT plan and proposal as it is still in editing stage. However, our deadline is next Friday 27 October, so I didn’t want to leave my request too late. This proposal represents Year 2 of an eleven-year plan to determine feasibility to establish a self- sustaining sockeye run in the Alouette reservoir. Changes to this proposal compared to last year are that we are not applying for funding for the experimental hatchery as we are awaiting results from a peer-reviewed study from DFO. Other than that, most of the project will continue as it did this year, if we are approved for funding. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions with regards to my request.

The dam cut off access for anadromous Pacific salmon, cutthroat trout and bull trout to utilize upstream tributaries for spawning and the lakes for spawning and rearing; all anadromous populations were extirpated as a result. While anadromous Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) no longer migrated to the ocean, they remained in the reservoir as their resident form, Kokanee. The Katzie people in the Alouette watershed historically relied on this Sockeye run as a main food source and they continue to have a deep cultural tie to Alouette Sockeye. The size structure and density of the Kokanee population in the reservoir has recently been greatly improved as a result of the Alouette Nutrient Restoration Program, funded by a BC Hydro/MOE long-term agreement to support recreational fishing in the Alouette Reservoir. The Nutrient Restoration Program is compensation for incremental entrainment at Stave Reservoir and is in lieu of Stave Reservoir fertilization. Following experimental spring-time surface spills in 2005, adult Sockeye were first observed returning to the base of Alouette Dam in 2007, which were genetically shown to be from the Alouette Kokanee population (Godbout et al 2011). Since that time, annual spring-time dam spillway operations have facilitated the emigration of “nerkid” (Kokanee-Sockeye) juveniles from the reservoir to the Alouette River to promote adult Sockeye returns. Any returning adults are trapped and trucked to the reservoir by BC Corrections to encourage Sockeye spawning and juvenile recruitment in the reservoir. The Alouette River Sockeye Restoration Program (ARSRP) is a joint initiative between the Katzie First Nation, Alouette River Management Society, BC Hydro, BC Ministry of Environment, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and local stakeholders. The objective of the ARSRP is to promote re-establishment of anadromous Alouette Sockeye and determine feasibility of fish passage past the Alouette Dam through adherence to the BC Hydro Fish Passage Decision Framework (the ‘Framework’). Re-establishment of Sockeye is intended to meet the following requirements (1) that the Sockeye stock originate from the Alouette Watershed (2) that the run size meet DFO requirements for a minimum viable population, and (3) is self-sustaining (i.e. no long-term hatchery intervention). To support these objectives, the ARSRP has undertaken and overseen several initiatives including a trap and truck program, a spring flow release program to facilitate smolt passage, and several feasibility studies. To date, feasibility work under the ARSRP has involved monitoring outmigrating smolts (LGL 2014), enumerating returning adult Sockeye (ARMS 2014), as well as investigating Sockeye movements and mapping of potential spawning locations of adult Sockeye and Kokanee in the reservoir (LGL 2014). An assessment of the reproductive success of the returning adult Sockeye suggested that few if any of the transferred adults (2008-2012) reproduced successfully (Godbout et al. 2014). Knowledge gaps were identified and an experimental release of hatchery–reared Sockeye was proposed to fill these gaps (ARMS 2014), which led to the establishment of the Alouette River Sockeye Hatchery. A synthesis report was developed in 2015 which also proposed the experimental release of hatchery-reared Sockeye (LGL 2015). In 2015, hatchery upgrades were funded through FWCP, and in 2016 funding was suspended due to FWCP concerns with the potential long-term role of the hatchery in the Sockeye restoration plan. Restoration Feasibility Plan Options Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 2 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 The BC Ministry of Environment (MOE) has developed a model that predicts the number of Sockeye adults returning to the Alouette dam based on assumptions of heritability of outmigration behavior, ocean survival and density dependent effects in the reservoir. This ‘nerkid model’ predicts that while there is little likelihood that Sockeye restoration will impact the Kokanee fishery in the reservoir through density dependent interactions, projections for Sockeye returns are low. The nerkid model acknowledges significant uncertainty in marine survival and especially heritability, which translates into uncertainty in restoration outcomes. Currently there are no studies that estimate the heritability of smolting in Sockeye. This uncertainty will be common in any similar project, (e.g. Coquitlam) and will potentially cloud future decisions around the ecological benefits of fish passage. Given the importance of Sockeye restoration to the Katzie people, as well as other First Nations and society in general, we feel that addressing all uncertainties to the best of our ability will help inform future decisions around fish passage at Alouette and other watersheds around the province. This Research Plan focuses on resolving much of this uncertainty through an adaptive management experiment on Sockeye and Kokanee in Alouette Reservoir. The ARSRP held a workshop to create a plan to assess the feasibility of Sockeye restoration to the Alouette Reservoir, in consideration of the nerkid model predictions. Several options were discussed: 1. Nerkid Model Review: conducting a model review using existing information and scientific advice would provide additional input to improve both the reliability and acceptance of model predictions. However, it was agreed model review alone would not adequately resolve uncertainties, and that direct assessment of heritability of anadromous behavior would be required to inform the Nerkid model. 2. Experimental Hatchery Fry Release: it was agreed that continuing the current program of monitoring Kokanee, smolts and Sockeye adult returns will not fill the knowledge gaps and resolve uncertainties, as Sockeye offspring have not been detected. Recent Alouette Sockeye Hatchery upgrades will allow the project to raise Kokanee X Kokanee and Sockeye X Sockeye offspring. These progeny will be raised to the fry life stage and then released into Alouette Reservoir. This information will fill a number of knowledge gaps (health status of Sockeye, eggs viability, fry-to-smolt survival, smolt-to-adults survival, and disposition to outmigration). Additionally, this information will be used in the Nerkid model to estimate the propensity of returning Sockeye to have smolting offspring. PLEASE NOTE: THIS ELEMENT OF THE PLAN HAS BEEN PUT ON HOLD UNTIL THE PEER REVIEWED RESULTS BY THE CANADIAN SCIENCE ADVISORY SECRETARIAT (DFO) OF THE NERKID MODEL AND ALOUETTE SOCKEYE RESTORATION PLAN HAVE BEEN RECEIVED. 3. Experimental Hatchery Fry Release and Program Review: the ARSRP is a broad, complex program and anticipated introduction of wild-stock hatchery fish into the reservoir comes with risks as well as benefits. We recognize that the experimental hatchery program will greatly benefit the Fish Passage Decision Framework applied to Alouette Sockeye, but it should be done in a well-reasoned and scientifically defensible way. This option would see the entire ARSRP and the Nerkid Model undergo a rigorous scientific review through the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) review process, focusing on the short- and long-term implications of Sockeye release and hatchery supplementation for genetic and population integrity. Both the program review and hatchery supplementation can occur in tandem with the review concluding before any fish are released into the reservoir. Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 3 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 The committee agreed that the feasibility plan should include both a program review and a hatchery supplementation program (option 3) that would continue for two life-cycles (stock for 8 years, monitor for a further 3 years), which will allow examination of heritability and density dependence, as well as confirm whether restoration goals are feasible. Alouette Sockeye Restoration Feasibility Plan There are several management questions that this feasibility plan will attempt to answer: 1. Does the nerkid model adequately consider the factors driving Sockeye smolting rates in the Alouette watershed? 2. What is the minimum viable population for returning adult Sockeye that would conserve the genetic integrity and ensure long-term persistence of Sockeye/Kokanee in the Alouette watershed? 3. What are the long-term projections for the Sockeye run size? 4. Is it feasible to restore Sockeye to a minimum viable population given potential uncertainty relating to the heritability of smolting behavior, fry production, density dependence, spawning habitat availability and marine survival? 4.1. How heritable is smolting behavior within the Alouette nerkid population? 4.2. Is there sufficient spawning habitat to produce the numbers of fry required to support a minimum viable population for Sockeye? 5. Can the Alouette Sockeye hatchery meet Department of Fisheries and Oceans requirements while producing enough fry to fulfill study requirements to answer the questions above? If answers to these questions indicate that Sockeye restoration is not possible, if there are significant risks to Kokanee or the environment, or that initial hatchery operation cannot support the restoration plan adequately (either due to biological concerns raised in the Program Review or due to insufficient rearing capacity), this feasibility plan will be paused while the ARSRP re-evaluates the plan. To address these remaining management questions, a number of monitoring tasks need to be implemented in concert with hatchery operations over an 11-year program. Project Outline: Task 1 - Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Review of Nerkid Model and Alouette Program Task 2 – Spawning habitat assessment and Kokanee spawner behavior Task 3 – Alouette Sockeye and Kokanee Hatchery Operations (CURRENTLY WAITING ON TASK 1 RESULTS OF THE CSAS PEER REVIEW, HATCHERY COMPONENT ON HOLD FOR YEAR 2) Task 4 – Adult and smolt enumeration Task 5 - Acoustic assessment of density dependent effects Task 6 – Smolting heritability assessment Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 4 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 The tasks above would be delivered over 3 phases, scheduled over an 11-year timeframe. • Phase 1: Scientific Review and Hatchery Initiation Phase – Tasks 1 to 5 will be implemented in this two-year start-up phase, with a decision to carry on to phase 2 contingent on the hatchery successfully raising fry and the scientific review (CSAS) confirming Sockeye restoration is feasible. • Phase 2: Hatchery fry releases and monitoring – Tasks 2-6 are implemented over a 6-year period to evaluate the effects of hatchery use on reservoir productivity, and whether smoltification is hereditary. A decision to carry on to Phase 3 is contingent on adults returning to the dam and successful hatchery operation/fry production and signals from the studies that Sockeye restoration is feasible. • Phase 3: Monitoring, Hatchery work completed - Tasks 4-6 are implemented over a 3-year period to monitor the remaining returns to the dam and finally determine the heritability of smolting. Upon successful determination that restoration goals can be met without the hatchery, the committee will be submitting a fish passage proposal to FWCP for endorsement. Phase 1, Year 1 - Project Milestones Currently this project is in Phase 1 (2-year term): Scientific Review and Hatchery Initiation Phase – Tasks 1 to 5 (except Task 3) will be implemented in this two- year start-up phase, with a decision to carry on to phase 2 contingent on the scientific review (CSAS) confirming Sockeye restoration is feasible. Since February 2017, when conditional approval of the Phase 1 - Year 1 project was given, the Alouette River Management Society has been working with its partners to implement the individual tasks of the above multi-year, multi-stakeholder project. • Task 4 - April 10 – Rotary screw trap (RST) for the kokanee/Sockeye smolt outmigration installed in the South Alouette River at the Mud Creek location by LGL Limited and Katzie First Nation. • Task 4 - April 12 to June 1 – Kokanee smolt outmigration ran under the supervision of LGL Limited and Katzie First Nation. Two new Katzie technicians were trained this year to run the RST. • Task 2 - May to June – MOE starts the Alouette Lake spawner habitat mapping • Task 4 - June 15 –Adult Sockeye monitoring starts with BC Corrections inmate crew. • Task 4 - July to August –ARMS supervise sampling of adult sockeye. • Task 2 - September 11-12 – MOE set gill net traps at Alouette Lake to start the kokanee spawner survey. Survey to run until approximately early January 2018 or until they have determined the spawning season is over. • Interim report and expenses submitted to FWCP – October 2017 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 5 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 Alouette Watershed Sockeye - Determination of fish Passage Feasibility - Revised Timeline – October 18, 2017 Phase 2 (6 Years)Phase 1 (2 Years)Phase 3 (3 years)October 18, 2017Note: MVP = Minimum Viable Population Can the Alouette Watershed meet the MVP?

The overall plan will be reviewed for biological risks that may result from potential ecological, genetic or disease ramifications of the project, as per DFO’s A Biological Risk Management Framework for Enhancing Salmon in the Pacific Region. The publication submittal process is currently in progress at the time of writing and will result in model review and improvement while providing a more detailed summary of the model and predictions. The CSAS review process will be completed by summer 2018, and will result in (a) the determination of a minimum viable population required to meet genetic and productivity requirements for a restored Sockeye run; and (b) formal DFO endorsement of the nerkid model and an assessment of the feasibility and risks of Sockeye restoration in the Alouette watershed. • Leads: Brett van Poorten (MOE); Dan Selbie (DFO) • Completion: Publication – Fall 2017; CSAS Review and Assessment – Summer 2018 • Costs: ~$11,500 In-kind • Decision support: The CSAS review will define the minimum run size for Alouette Sockeye restoration. If the CSAS review concludes that Sockeye restoration is not biologically feasible beyond the current condition, or biological risks are excessive, this program plan will be paused while the ARSRP re-evaluates the plan. Task 2 – Spawning habitat capacity and Kokanee spawner behavior Natural fry production will be limited by availability of spawning habitat, number of spawners, and spawning success (egg-fry survival). There is currently limited information available on reservoir spawning habitat due to the difficulty in observing deep-water (20-60 m) Kokanee/Sockeye spawning. Therefore habitat capacity is still undefined in Alouette Reservoir but it is a necessary component of the CSAS review and will be needed for FWCP endorsement within the Framework. Investigations of habitat quality (substrate type), quantity and distribution were identified in 2017 with the use of a Ministry of Environment drop-camera system which was upgraded to adapt it for this purpose. The habitat mapping component will continue in spring of 2018 to complete the work started in 2017. Data will be compiled and evaluated using GIS to determine total spawning habitat quality and quantity. Information from this work will provide estimates of spawning habitat area available in the reservoir and thus estimates of the maximum Kokanee and Sockeye population the reservoir can support based on habitat availability. Furthermore, based on data collected from this task and spawner behavior, we can evaluate Management Question 4.2 to determine if there is enough quality spawning habitat to support a self- sustaining population and meet restoration goals. Information on the spawning behavior of Kokanee and Sockeye is currently lacking, but is critical for the successful collection of broodstock for the experimental hatchery. We propose using short set gillnetting during the fall and winter to determine the Kokanee spawning window, and to collect data on Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 7 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 the stage of maturity. Nets will be set based on substrate distribution identified in the habitat assessment and mapping work described above. Information on spawner timing and behavior is necessary for planning the efficient collection of mature (but not spawning or spent) Kokanee for the hatchery. This task is necessary for the remainder of tasks (i.e. you need spawners for a hatchery). • Lead: Shannon Harris and Allison Hebert (MOE), Brent Wilson (BCH) • Completion: 2018 (started in 2017) • Cost: $60,773 in year 1, $45,000/yr in years 1-2* + in-kind and other support o While sampling for spawner behavior study is underway, broodstock will be collected and therefore costs for broodstock collection are in kind for year one. o *costs for year 1-2 represent an estimate, actual field time will be determined based on results of year 1 • Decision support: It is necessary to identify spawning habitat quality and quantity within the reservoir to understand whether restoration objectives are achievable; and it is necessary to characterize spawning behavior to better understand the timing of the Kokanee spawning to inform Kokanee broodstock collection. Our existing production models do not account for limits to spawning habitat per se, but they are implicitly incorporated as part of potential density dependent limits to survival. Having actual estimates of spawning habitat will help inform the parameters of the nerkid model. Task 3 – Alouette Sockeye and Kokanee Hatchery operations Note: Task 3 will not be included in this funding application for 2017-2018 season but the details remain for information purposes only. Katzie First Nations and the ARSRP committee agreed that hatchery operations were required to generate enough fry to address remaining management questions and validate the Nerkid model. Adult Sockeye captured at the ALLCO fish fence in early summer will be held until maturity in the Alouette Sockeye Hatchery. All adults will have a rapid genetic sample taken to ensure they are Alouette stock before they can be used for broodstock. Beginning in late September determination of the spawning window for Kokanee will be undertaken until spawning Kokanee are located and captured. Ripe adults will be stripped in the field and then transferred to the hatchery to be fertilized separately as pure Sockeye or pure Kokanee. Progeny of both Sockeye and Kokanee will be raised to fry stage. The program will be working closely with the DFO fish health specialist’s veterinarian in all years of hatchery operation to ensure that all fish are disease free. Numbers of fry released will vary by year, which increases variation in in-reservoir density. This variation in density may cause different environmentally-driven smolting rates, thereby improving estimates genetic versus environmental drivers of smolting while also limiting hatchery costs. On an annual basis, either 10,000 or 30,000 fry will be released into the reservoir with each fry type differentially marked to quickly and inexpensively identify Kokanee or Sockeye hatchery offspring vs. wild Kokanee (unmarked). Total number of fry released must exceed 10,000 (total: Kokanee + Sockeye) to contribute to the study Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 8 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 tasks. If the number of returning Sockeye broodstock collected cannot provide for this number of fry, the hatchery will not be operated that fall. Task 4 – Adult and smolt enumeration Trapping of adult Sockeye returning to Alouette Dam is required to facilitate the hatchery operation and is a vital for overall program feasibility. As in the past, operation of the Alouette Corrections fish fence will be carried out in partnership with the Alouette River Management Society and BC Corrections staff. Adults will have a genetic sample and scale sample taken to ensure they are Alouette stock and to age them. If the experimental hatchery is approved in later years, the adult sockeye will be also examined for clips starting in possibly 2020 (pending funding); wild -no clip, hatchery Kokanee clip-type 1 or hatchery Sockeye clip-type 2 then transported to the hatchery for holding. The kokanee smolt enumeration component would capture outmigrating smolts starting early spring 2018 using a rotary screw trap below Alouette Dam. The trap would be set up at the Mud Creek location as a joint operation between Katzie First Nation and LGL Limited to replicate sampling methods and the safety program used in previous years. In contrast to previous years only Sockeye and Kokanee smolts would be identified, sampled and then released, information on other species would not be collected. Scales samples used for aging and fin clip samples used for genetic testing will be collected from each smolt enumerated. The operation of the trap would coincide with the timing of the surface flow releases for smolt outmigration from Alouette Reservoir (April 15 until either early June or when the smolts are done, whichever comes first). This information will feed directly into the Nerkid model that requires smolt estimates and parentage data to be able to refine model predictions of adult returns (Task 7). If the experimental sockeye hatchery component is approved in future years, this would see in likely 2020, each captured smolt being identified as: wild (no clip); hatchery Kokanee (clip-type 1); or hatchery Sockeye (clip-type 2). • Leads: Greta Borick-Cunningham and Sophie Smith (ARMS), Ron MacLean (BC Corrections), Debbie Miller (Katzie First Nations) and Meghan Matthews (LGL), • Completion: Phase 1, 2 and 3: Spring 2024 (10 years, continuing with truck and trap operation late spring 2018) • Cost: $16,028/yr for adult work, $61,075 per year for smolt enumeration • Decision support: o Adults: returning adult counts are the key indicator of overall restoration plan success. The degree to which the adult returns are genetically linked to hatchery-released fry will determine differential smolt-adult survival of each parentage combination (pure Kokanee; pure Sockeye). o Smolts: During the spring flow releases from Alouette Dam, when outmigration monitoring observes the end of the annual outmigration period, surface flow releases will be suspended and minimum flows restored through the low level outlet at the Alouette Dam. The degree to which the outmigrating smolts are shown to be genetically linked to wild or hatchery- Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Determination of Fish Passage Feasibility Plan (2017-2027) 9 | Page DRAFT – COA-F19-F-2683 released fry of each parentage combination (pure Kokanee; pure Sockeye) will determine the effect of heritability on smolting behavior. Task 5 - Acoustic assessment of density dependent effects In 2018, as part of the Ministry of Environment’s (MOE) ongoing implementation of the nutrient restoration program on the Alouette Reservoir, annual gillnetting, trawling and hydroacoustic stock assessment results will be evaluated. to determine if hatchery fry additions are having a measurable impact on the growth rate or mortality of the Kokanee juvenile age classes in Alouette Reservoir. Resident Nerkids captured during trawl sampling will be identified as: wild (no clip), hatchery Kokanee (clip-type 1) or hatchery Sockeye (clip-type 2) starting in 2020 (pending CSAS results expected in summer 2018). This information will help to resolve whether variations in smolting numbers are due to differential mortality or differential smolting rate. • Lead: Shannon Harris and Brett van Poorten (MOE), • Completion: Phase 1, 2 and 3, Spring 2024 (8 years, starting with summer acoustics 2017) • Cost: ~$17,000 in-kind support • Decision support: The degree to which density of fry influences body growth rate and mortality will be incorporated into the nerkid model to inform whether restoration is feasible under observed conditions. Task 6 – Heritability of Smoltification Alouette is the first known case where previously residualized Sockeye have begun smolting after marine access was permitted. The rate at which smolting is heritable (the genetic vs. environmental influence of smolting) is completely unknown, yet has tremendous implications for success of restoration or fish passage construction. The Nerkid model will be fit to data collected in tasks 2-6 to determine heritability and refine estimates of carrying capacity for Kokanee and Sockeye. Model outputs will include projections for Sockeye and Kokanee for the foreseeable future. This will form the basis for submission a request to BC Hydro for fish passage and mark the end of ARSRP submissions to the FWCP. • Lead: Brett van Poorten (MOE), • Completion: Phase 2, 3: 2019-2027 • Cost: all in-kind support • Decision support: Model outcomes, paired with findings from all other tasks and feasibility studies to date, will form the basis for submission to BC Hydro for fish passage infrastructure, as part of the Fish Passage Decision Framework.

This is the project description that will be used in future FWCP communications about this project. It should be plain language and communicate what the project is about and what outcomes are expected The Alouette River Sockeye Re-anadromization Program (ARSRP) is a joint initiative between the Katzie First Nation, ARMS, BC Hydro, Ministry of Environment (MOE), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), LGL Limited and local stakeholders, which works to promote the re-establishment of anadromous Alouette Sockeye and investigate the feasibility of fish passage at Alouette Dam. This project will: 1. Undertake/continue with a peer review and a formal DFO Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) review of the ARSRP program and review MOE’s Nerkid Model to determine if it can accurately forecast Sockeye restoration feasibility 2. Monitor adult Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) returns and juvenile outmigration necessary for the evaluation of heritability and for eventual FWCP endorsement 3. Determine availability of spawner habitat in the Alouette reservoir to confirm it can support a self-sustaining population What is the urgency of your proposed project? Instructional Note: Please describe and justify the urgency of your proposed project. Sockeye restoration in the Alouette Watershed was identified as a key priority in FWCP’s Alouette Salmonid Action Plan (2011) and the Alouette River Watershed Action Plan (2017), and is of significant cultural importance to the Katzie First Nation. The ARSRP committee has been working to resolve uncertainties around feasibility of Sockeye restoration in the Alouette watershed for over 14 years. After failing to receive funding in 2016, a workshop was held with senior Katzie, DFO, BC Hydro, MOE and political leads to re-assess the fish passage plan. All attendees agreed that key actions are to validate predictions from MOE’s Nerkid model, recently published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, and have the model undergo formal DFO (CSAS) review. The group unanimously agreed that this work is urgently needed to address remaining uncertainties that are essential for making an informed decision regarding fish passage at Alouette Dam. Delaying this work will lengthen the ARSRP fish passage plan and risks losing the good-will generated from the workshop. Project Details Section Your project will primarily benefit fish or wildlife Fish 2 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 What species will benefit from your project? The primary design species associated with this project is resident and anadromous Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). Detailed Project Description This project is Year 2 of a multi-year plan to address remaining uncertainties in the feasibility of Alouette Sockeye Restoration. This proposal would initiate the second year of Phase 1 of the plan, which focuses on: a review of the Nerkid model, review of the Alouette River Sockeye Re-anadromization Program (ARSRP), finalizing the mapping field work and estimates of habitat capacity for spawners; monitoring smolt outmigration; and monitoring adult returns. The ARSRP Plan and the Nerkid model is currently being reviewed by the DFO lead, Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS). The review will investigate and report on our overall plan including 1) the structure and findings of the Nerkid model; 2) limits to Kokanee and Sockeye production as estimated from investigations of available habitat; and 3) calculations of genetic consequences of continued release of smolts and the Sockeye/Kokanee hatchery program. The review will focus on short- and long- term implications of Sockeye smolting for genetic and population integrity. The second task is to complete the evaluation of spawning habitat availability throughout the reservoir which was started in 2017. We will survey substrate composition throughout the reservoir using an upgraded drop-down camera provided in-kind by the Ministry of Environment. The results from this assessment will provide a comprehensive map of spawning locations within the reservoir and a calculation of total available spawning habitat which is necessary to determine if there is sufficient habitat available for successful Sockeye restoration. Monitoring of outmigrating smolts and returning adults will continue as the third task of this proposal. The smolt enumeration component would capture outmigrating smolts during the spring surface flow releases in April 2018 using a rotary screw trap below Alouette Dam. This information will feed directly into the nerkid model. The final component of this proposal is to monitor adult Sockeye captured at the ALLCO fish fence from late spring/early summer 2018 until early fall 2018 or when the run is determined to be finished by DFO. All adults will have a genetic sample taken to ensure they are Alouette stock including a scale sample to determine the years spent in the ocean. Alignment with Action Plans Section The primary Coastal Action/Watershed Plan that this proposed project aligns most closely with is: Instruction Note: From the drop down list provided, select the applicable primary plan. Alouette River Watershed Action Plan (2017) What is the primary project type for the proposed project? 3 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 Instruction Note: We want to know more about your project. The FWCP funds several types of projects or actions. Please select the ‘project type’ that best describes the type of project you are proposing. Select only one. If you are not sure, please refer to the primary Plan. Species-based Actions ALU.RLR.SB.18.01 Conduct technical feasibility assessment...Sockeye Salmon passage at Alouette Dam What is your priority action from the primary Plan specified above? (400 characters) Instruction Note: Please copy and paste the applicable priority action from the specified primary plan. For example, if your primary plan is the Cheakamus River Salmonid Action Plan and you are proposing to improve existing side channels and off channel areas for salmonids, you would copy and paste the following priority action 'Improve existing side channels and off channel areas for salmonids'. Please ensure that you are selecting specific priority actions rather than broad Action Plan objectives, measures and targets. Please contact the Coastal Region Manager if you require clarification. Conduct technical feasibility assessment, monitoring and/or species-based actions associated with Sockeye Salmon passage at Alouette Dam to support re-introduction to the Alouette system. Work must build upon the Alouette River Sockeye Re-Introduction Synthesis (13.ALU.02) and the Alouette Watershed Sockeye-fish passage Feasibility (COA-F18-F-2385). Proponents looking for an FWCP grant to evaluate opportunities to restore fish production above BC Hydro facilities that previously blocked fish passage are required to work through the Fish Passage Decision Framework (http://fwcp.ca/fish-passage-decision-framework/). Clearly articulate how your proposed project will address the Action specified Instruction Note: For example: this project will include the assessment of side channel and off channel habitat resulting in specific restoration and enhancement opportunities in the Cheakamus watershed. The nerkid model predicts that Sockeye restoration will not impact the Kokanee fishery in the reservoir through density dependent interactions. The group developed a multi-year plan; in the second year, we propose to: (a) Complete the formal DFO-CSAS review of the ARSRP plan and the Nerkid Model (b) Complete the assessment of spawning habitat availability and behavior in the reservoir which will allow for a better understanding of limiting factors in the reservoir (c) Monitor adult returns and juvenile outmigration to provide an estimate of smolt to adult survival. 4 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 The secondary Coastal Plan that this proposed project aligns most closely with is Instruction Note: If your proposed project aligns with more than one Plan, provide information on a secondary Plan.

Other Is ongoing monitoring and maintenance required to sustain the benefits to fish and/or wildlife? Instruction Note: For example, maintaining spawning channel intake structure. Not in year 2 Describe the benefits of this project to local First Nations, stakeholders and/or communities, including any proposed opportunities for community engagement, education and outreach. You will be asked about progress on these benefits on reports that you submit. There are a wide range of benefits to Katzie First Nation, stakeholders and communities including Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and others. The Katzie First Nation will benefit from this project through working directly on the downstream smolt enumeration and the spawner habitat study while developing increased environmental skill sets. The ultimate goal of the Katzie First Nation would be to realize a self- sustaining population of Sockeye salmon, a population of significant cultural value to current and future generations. The project will develop a body of scientific knowledge that will help inform the Alouette River Sockeye Re-anadromization Committee, BC Hydro and other watersheds potentially looking at fish passage feasibility. The City of Maple Ridge and the City of Pitt Meadows will benefit from this project’s broad-reaching research, monitoring and evaluation components as the information will directly help to support the feasibility of fish passage on the Alouette Dam. If the hatchery component is approved in the future, the enhancement of the Alouette Reservoir with Sockeye fry will provide an excellent promotional opportunity for the cities in terms of raising awareness about the potential for a Sockeye salmon run in their local regions. 6 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 Other benefits include the multi-party collaboration with the common goal of achieving fish passage on the Alouette dam. Opportunities for community engagement, education and outreach are many and varied. The proponent will continue to work with its different partners to promote the work of the Alouette River Sockeye Re-anadromization Project and the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program including but not limited to local festivals such as Maple Ridge Celebrate Earth Day, Pitt Meadows Earth Day, Maple Ridge Park Father’s Day Fish Release, Haney Farmers Markets, Maple Ridge Country Fest, and Ridge Meadows Rivers Day. The proponent would also present the work of the ARSRP group to the City of Maple Ridge Mayor and Council, City of Pitt Meadows Mayor and Council, Katzie First Nation Chief and Council and any other local elected officials and community groups e.g. Lions Club, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club that may be interested in learning about the Alouette Watershed Sockeye Fish Passage Feasibility project. Press releases will be sent to the local newspapers, radio and other relevant media sources. Articles will be sent to relevant and interested parties including DFO’s StreamTalk magazine, FWCP e-newsletter, Salmon Enhancement and Habitat Advisory Board (SEHAB) annual meeting, BC Federation of Driftfishers etc. Project Phases Section Project Start-up State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase This project will continue with the review of the ARSRP Plan and the MOE Nerkid Model to the Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat (CSAS). The CSAS review will complete the minimum viable population analysis to be developed by DFO in the summer of 2018 with in-kind funding. Upon notice of successful funding for year 2 of the project, the ARSRP will meet in February 2018 for field work coordination and scheduling for the spring smolt outmigration work and habitat suitability assessment prior to work beginning in April 2018. Field Work State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase The Rotary Screw Trap (RST) will be installed in April 2018, to coincide with the scheduled spring surface flow releases at Alouette Dam. The RST will be installed at the same Mud Creek location to replicate the sampling methods and safety program used in previous years. The trap will capture and enumerate only outmigrating Sockeye and Kokanee smolts, which is essential information for the nerkid model. Smolt outmigration timing is usually complete by June 15. Collection of tissue samples for DNA analysis from smolts will be carried out during the spring enumeration work and sent to Pacific Biological Station (PBS) lab for analysis. The spawner habitat assessment study will continue in April/May 2018 with a full assessment of deep water spawning habitat in the reservoir. Acoustic assessment of density dependence will occur as part of the Alouette fertilization program with the information collected summer 2018. In late spring (mid-June) 2018, the ALLCO fish fence will be installed and monitored daily. Any returning adult Sockeye will be captured and will have genetic (DNA) samples taken to verify they 7 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 are Alouette stock and scale samples for aging. The samples are processed at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo (DFO in-kind) with results analyzed and compiled into a report back to the ARSRP group and FWCP. Returning sockeye adults will be trucked to the Alouette Lake and released once samples have been taken. In the fall and winter of 2018 investigations of Kokanee spawning locations will continue as in 2017 in the reservoir. Data Entry & Analysis State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase Data analysis will continue with the CSAS review of the ARSRP and the Nerkid model beginning in fall of 2017-winter of 2018; final results are not anticipated until summer 2018. Data entry will begin in spring of 2018 with the completion of the spawner habitat availability surveys and the continuation of the smolt outmigration monitoring. Final data collected from the spawner habitat availability study will be compiled by a GIS specialist to evaluate Sockeye/Kokanee spawning locations, to create a calculation of the amount of spawner habitat available and to assess if habitat is limiting in the summer of 2018. Following the completion of the smolt outmigration monitor, biological samples such as, fin clip and scale samples will be sent to the PBS for rapid genetic analysis as soon as possible after the fish have been trapped and sampled. Adult sockeye enumeration at the Allco fish fence will occur as Alouette Sockeye returns are anticipated in from early/mid July to late August 2018. Data analysis will continue in the fall once the results of the adult sockeye returnees have been received. Draft Reporting State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase The project lead identified in each task of the plan will be responsible for completion of their respective section of the summary report. Each project lead must report on the activities completed and will summarize findings for inclusion in a larger report during the fall/winter of 2018. Task 1 - Canadian Scientific Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Review of Sockeye Response Model and Alouette Program Task 2 – Spawning habitat assessment and kokanee spawner behavior Task 3 – Alouette Sockeye Hatchery Operations – THIS TASK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS FWCP APPLICATION BUT HERE FOR PLAN INFORMATION ONLY Task 4 – Adult and smolt enumeration Task 5 - Acoustic assessment of density dependent effects Extension/Community/Outreach State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase 8 Alouette Watershed Sockeye – Fish Passage Feasibility – Year 2 – Proposal – COA-F19-F-2683 There are a wide range of benefits to Katzie First Nation, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and others. The Katzie First Nation will benefit from this project through having staff working directly on the downstream smolt enumeration study and the spawner habitat study while developing increased environmental skill sets. The ultimate goal of the Katzie First Nation would be to realize a self-sustaining population of Sockeye salmon, a population of significant cultural value to current and future generations. The project will develop a body of scientific knowledge that will help inform the Alouette River Sockeye Re-anadromization Committee, BC Hydro and other watersheds potentially looking at fish passage feasibility. The City of Maple Ridge and the City of Pitt Meadows will benefit from this project’s broad-reaching research, monitoring and evaluation components as the information will directly help to support the feasibility of fish passage on the Alouette Dam. If funding is approved in the future, enhancement of the Alouette Reservoir with Sockeye fry will provide an excellent promotional opportunity for the cities in terms of raising awareness about the potential for a Sockeye salmon run in their local regions. Other benefits include the multi-party collaboration with the common goal of achieving fish passage on the Alouette dam. Final Reporting State Date, End Date, what happens in this phase Final reporting will begin with compilation from the smolt outmigration collection and enumeration occurring in the spring 2018, this information will be compiled with previous year’s data and added to the data set for use in the nerkid model. The nerkid model will be updated as data is collected. Updates from the progress of the CSAS review will be included in the final reporting but final results from the review are not anticipated until summer 2018. Information collected from the Kokanee spawning habitat assessment study will be included in the final report as will be a calculation of the total area of habitat available which will be evaluated in the context of determining if habitat capacity is limiting in the reservoir. The spawning behavior, as informed by the fall and winter gillnets will be summarized in the final reporting, as will broodstock collection data. The project lead identified in each task of the plan will be responsible for completion of their respective section of the summary report. Each project lead must report on the activities completed and will summarize findings for inclusion in a larger report during the fall/winter of 2018.

"Schedule C" "Schedule D" 1100 Reports and Recommendations 1100 City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: October 24, 2017 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2017-155-RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council SUBJECT: First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7358-2017 21319 and 21333 Lougheed Highway EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at 21319 and 21333 Lougheed Highway, from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit the development of a two-storey commercial building. This development proposal is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council’s resolution, this application is not subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7358-2017be given first reading; and 2)That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules C, D and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Bissky Architecture And Urban Design Inc. Legal Descriptions: Lot 4 District Lot 248 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 8043 Parcel “A” (Explanatory Plan 9614) Lot 5 District Lot 248 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 8043 OCP: Existing: Commercial Zoning: Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Proposed: C-2 (Community Commercial) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Cemetery Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Institutional and Conservation 1101 -2 - South: Use: Ridge Meadows Hospital Zone: P-6 (Civic Institutional) and RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Institutional, Conservation, Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Commercial West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Commercial Site Area: 1,692 m² (0.42 acres) Access: Lougheed Highway Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b)Site Characteristics: The subject properties, located at 21319 and 21333 Lougheed Highway, are located on the north side of Lougheed Highway, east of the intersection of Laity Street and Lougheed Highway (see Appendices A and B). The subject properties are relatively flat with trees located on the western lot and along the northern boundary of both properties. Both properties are currently vacant. c)Project Description: This application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community Commercial) (see Appendix C) to permit the development of a two-storey building comprised of a restaurant (GM Restaurant) on the ground floor and office space above. The proposed gross floor area of the ground floor is approximately 434 m² (4,672 ft²) and the proposed gross floor area of the second storey area is approximately 316 m² (3,402 ft²), for a total area of approximately 750 m² (8,074 ft²) (see Appendix D). 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 subject properties are designated Commercial in the OCP and fall within the General Commercial category, due to their location along Lougheed Highway, within the Urban Area Boundary and outside of the Town Centre. The objective of the General Commercial category as stated in the OCP is to “respond to emerging market trends and shopping preferences and to permit greater flexibility in the range of commercial uses”. The C-2 (Community Commercial) zone aligns with the General Commercial designation. -3 - Housing Action Plan: The Housing Action Plan commits the City to looking at residential rental units above Commercial developments. A report from the Planning Department is on the work program and expected in late 2017 or early 2018. In the interim, Council have been addressing this matter on a case by case basis. To date, Council have required residential units above some Commercial developments, including Silver Valley Road and 232 Avenue, and 240 Street and 112 Avenue; however, Council have waived this for other Commercial developments, including the medical building/Doctors office on Lougheed Highway, just east of 216 Street, and the two Commercial developments located at 11951 240 Street (Tim Hortons) and 11939 240 Street. Should Council wish to have rental units above Commercial at this location, it would be beneficial to note that at this time. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit the development of a restaurant on the ground floor with office use above on the second storey. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. The zoning requirements for the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone allow for a two storey height (7.5m) building, provided that the second storey does not exceed 50% of the ground floor area. In recent commercial projects, site specific variances have been supported to permit a full second storey, provided that the developer creates rental housing units above the commercial units and entered into a Housing Agreement, protecting the apartments as rental units in perpetuity. Staff have had preliminary discussions with the applicant regarding providing rental units on the second storey; however, the applicant is only looking for office use on the second storey at this time. A Development Variance Permit will be required, as the second storey is proposed to be greater than 50% in area of the first floor. As identified above, Council has, on occasion, permitted such variances to accommodate rental housing above Commercial developments. While the subject application is proposing an office use on the second storey, staff note the likely continued interest in non-residential uses along Lougheed Highway, in light of the possible Rapid Bus implementation along Lougheed Highway and Council’s interest in maximizing our employment lands. Subject to Council’s direction, staff will continue to monitor such expressions of interest as they relate to development as a means of informing a broader Lougheed Highway Corridor Study planned for 2018. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the OCP, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal’s compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading. - 4 - Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading, the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Licences Permits and Bylaws Department; e) Parks Department; f) Utility companies; g) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and h) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 2. A Commercial Development Permit Application (Schedule D); and 3. A Development Variance Permit Application (Schedule E); The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. - 5 - CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. “Original signed by Adam Rieu” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adam Rieu Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

PRESIDING MEMBER CORPORATE OFFICER 1 City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: October 17, 2017 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2017-242-RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Workshop SUBJECT: Home Occupation Engagement Summary Report and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394-2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Council directed that the home occupation regulations be reviewed as an outcome of the Commercial Industrial Strategy. The intent of the review was to look at ways to update, modernize and improve regulations to better facilitate our existing 1445 licenced home based businesses and provide greater opportunities for enabling home based businesses in the City while balancing the needs of the neighbourhoods in which these businesses exist. In July 2017, Council received a draft set of possible new zoning regulations for home based businesses. The proposed home based business program creates a two-pronged set of regulations: one for multifamily and one family and two family residential zoned lots less than 1,200m2 (0.3 ac) and another for one family and two family residential zoned lots greater than 1,200m2 (0.3 ac). A number of new directions have been proposed which include expanding: the permitted floor area of a home based business, relative to lot size; the number of employees allowed in a home based business; the number of daily visits that can be accommodated by a home based business; and the types of activities permitted as a home based business. The review also acknowledged that there may be situations where a home based business use may warrant a level of expansion not anticipated by the above described types of home based businesses. This report recommends that the City explore the creation of a new zone to allow for larger accessory home based business uses on residential zoned lots that are greater than one acre in size. As this would require a text amendment process, this ensures that each home based business would be evaluated on a case by case basis and be able to take into account any possible site-specific considerations. In September 2017, community outreach initiatives revealed the importance of updating the home based business zoning bylaw regulations and the desire to explore a full range of possible home based business uses. Community members recognize the benefits of supporting local job growth within the City and widely supported the new directions. This report summarizes the community consultation activities and feedback for Council as well as provides a revised set of regulatory changes for the Zoning Bylaw for Council to consider. RECOMMENDATION: i)That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394 – 2017 to amend the home occupation regulations of Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985 be forwarded to the next Council meeting for consideration of first reading. APPENDIX B 2 BACKGROUND: In 2015, following the Council resolution that the regulations for home based businesses be reviewed, staff undertook a background review, held internal meetings with Economic Development and Bylaw & Licencing Services Departments, and drafted a discussion paper on home based business as a means of identifying the potential areas where regulatory revisions might occur. In 2016, the Economic Development Committee established three task forces to reflect key directions for the Economic Development Department: Tourism, Technology, and Home Based Business. The Home Based Business Task Force (HBB Task Force) began meeting in the summer of 2016. Task Force meetings were attended by staff from Economic Development, Planning and Bylaw & Licencing Services. Since that time, the HBB Task Force has identified three components to address for home based business: regulations, communication, and process. In January 2017, staff reviewed current and possible new zoning regulations with the HBB Task Force for feedback. Following that meeting, staff from Economic Development, Planning, and Bylaw & Licencing Services prepared a draft set of possible new regulations for home based businesses. On March 6, 2017, a number of possible home based business regulatory requirements were presented for Council consideration. In the Council discussion that ensued, Council raised the issue of whether the proposed revisions went far enough, given the economic opportunities home based businesses are perceived to present to Maple Ridge residents. In addition, Council raised questions, sought clarity on the possible new home based business zoning bylaw requirements and then directed staff to bring the item back for further Council consideration. From March through June 2017, building on the work undertaken to-date, Staff continued to collaborate with the HBB Task Force to further explore opportunities to improve home based business regulation in the City. These revised directions and the parameters that influenced their further evolution were presented to Council on July 18, 2017. SUMMARY OF POSSIBLE CHANGES TO ZONING BYLAW: Based on input from the HBB Task Force and background research, possible changes to the Zoning Bylaw were proposed to Council. A number of new directions have been proposed which include expanding:  The permitted floor area of a home based business, relative to lot size;  The number of employees allowed in a home based business;  The number of daily visits that can be accommodated by a home based business; and  The types of activities permitted as a home a based business. The proposed home based business program creates a two-pronged set of regulations. For ease of engagement, the two-pronged set of regulations have been renamed Type 1 Home Based Business for operations in multi-family units and on one family and two family residential zoned lots less than 1,200m2 (0.3 ac) and Type 2 Home Based Business for operations on one family and two family residential zoned lots greater than 1,200m2 (0.3 ac). In addition, staff recognized that there may be opportunities on larger properties to accommodate certain uses that may not be permitted under the proposed home based business regulations. This further option was considered as a Type 3 Home Based Business. A summary table outlining the proposed home based business regulatory changes are included as Appendix A. 3 SUMMARY OF CONSULTATION PROCESS Retitled as ‘Home Based Business Update’ for the purpose of community engagement, the consultation activities can be broken down into three main themes: resident engagement, outreach activities targeting local businesses, and feedback collected through a community survey. Taking place throughout September 2017, the consultation program specifically consisted of a Public Open House, community survey, booth at the Haney Farmers Market, staff presentations at several community-based business groups, 15 minute Q&A ‘Coffee Chats with City Staff’ with interested individuals, a Home Based Business Networking Event (hosted by the HBB Task Force) and, as requested by Council, a targeted mail-out to all licenced home based businesses in the City. A copy of the engagement materials and the verbatim responses are available in Appendix B. i)Resident Engagement To solicit resident feedback, two public events took place supported by promotional activities. On Saturday September 9, 2017, Staff attended the Haney Farmers Market with a booth soliciting input on the Home Based Business Update. Staff attendance was advertised through the Home Based Business Update website and flyers available at the Planning, Economic Development and Bylaw Services & Licencing front counters. On September 13, 2017 a Public Open House was held between 4 and 8 p.m. in the Fraser Room of the Maple Ridge Library. Notification and advertising for the event was conducted through four newspaper advertisements, a listing on the City’s website, social media outlets, flyers available at the Planning, Economic Development and Bylaw Services & Licencing front counters, and at Council request, the use of approximately 1500 mailed letters to licenced home based businesses. Approximately twenty people attended the Open House, as well as members of the HBB Task Force. Following the event, the open house presentation boards were made available on the City’s website. A mailing list for a Home Based Business E-Newsletter was also created and subsequently used to provide further information and updates about the engagement process to the public. Over 70 e-mails were collected throughout September. ii)Business Outreach Business operators were also invited to opt-in to the Home Based Business E-Newsletter and all licenced home based businesses received mailed notification of the Home Based HBB Policy + Best Practice Research Establish HBB Task Force + Identify Issues Prepare Draft HBB Regulations Discuss with Wider Community Amend Zoning Bylaw WE ARE HERE 4 Business Update process which identified engagement opportunities taking place throughout September. Planning Staff hosted ‘Coffee Chats with City Staff’ as an opportunity to provide tailored feedback on how the proposed changes may impact an existing operation or how they might enable a new home based business. Over ten businesses expressed interest in a Coffee Chat and by early October, at the time of preparing this report, three had taken place, with two anticipated in the following week. Planning Staff also attended several local business community groups to increase awareness of the home based business update process. Presentations took place at Women’s AM (35 attendees) and Babes in Business (15 attendees). The Chamber of Commerce was also contacted as a potential option, but no response was received. A Home Based Business Networking Event, hosted by the Home Based Business Task Force, took place in the afternoon on Friday, September 22, 2017 at The Well. The event was promoted through the local newspaper, social media, mail-out, and event-specific advertising including posters and post-cards (which were available at the Farmers Market, Open House and front counters). Approximately twenty people attended the Networking Event, in addition to City Staff and members of the HBB Task Force. iii) Community Survey Supporting the residential and business outreach initiatives was a community questionnaire. The survey was used to assess comfort level with the proposed updates to the home based business zoning regulations. Paper copies of the survey were available at the Haney Farmers Market, Public Open House, outreach events, and the Home Based Business Networking Event. The survey was also available online from September 13th to October 1st on the City’s Home Based Business Update website. Home Based Business Task Force members generously donated several prizes for a City-run sweepstakes draw as an added incentive to encourage survey responses. Of the 177 submitted community surveys, 114 were completed in full. Responses are mixed – 53% from general interested residents, 34% from those who operate a business in Maple Ridge, 8% from those considering starting a home based business in Maple Ridge and 5% ‘other’. Thirty percent of the respondents identified themselves as currently operating a home based business in Maple Ridge. CONSULTATION OUTCOMES: i) General Feedback: The community expressed broad levels of support for the home based business update process and the proposed changes. Recognizing the changing nature of business and household needs, many residents indicated that ‘it was time’ for this level of change to the home based business regulations in Maple Ridge. Members of local business groups also expressed enthusiasm for the intended direction of the home based business update and were pleased to see the City emphasizing local business development within the City. 5 ii)Location & Size Strong support (88%) was received for broadening where a home based business can be accommodated on a residential lot. Currently, a home based business is only permitted to operate from a dwelling unit (with the exception of RS-2, RS-3 and A zones which are currently permitted a home based business in an accessory building). The proposed update would permit a home based business to take place in both the main dwelling unit that makes up the home as well as in a secondary suite or detached garden suite (DGS) and in an accessory building in all residential zones. Additional comments through conversation reinforced the support for permitting a home based business in a secondary suite and/or DGS in order to support intergenerational living. Again, strong support was received for increasing the amount of floor area permitted for Type 1 Home Based Businesses (92%) and Type 2 Home Based Businesses (92%). Currently, home based businesses are permitted up to 20% of the residential floor area, up to 50m2 or 538 sq ft. The proposed update would permit a Type 1 Home Based Business up to 30% of the gross floor area, to a maximum of 50m2 or 538 sq ft, for home based businesses in multi-family units and on one family and two family residential zoned lots under 1,200m2 or 0.3 acres and up to 45% of the gross floor area, to a maximum of 100m2 or 1,76 sq ft, for Type 2 Home Based Businesses on one family and two family residential zoned lots over 1,200m2 or 0.3 acres. iii)Daily Visits & Employees Currently, a home based business cannot receive daily visits by clients (with the exception of Tutoring & Lessons which is permitted up to six people per day). The proposed update would allow daily visits by clients, by appointment, for all permitted home based business uses up to ten clients per day for Type 1 Home Based Businesses and up to sixteen clients per day for Type 2 Home Based Businesses. The proposed expansion received positive support for both Type 1 Home Based Businesses (80% in favour) and Type 2 Home Based Businesses (85% in favour) although some discussion occurred regarding the reasoning behind why a daily maximum was required. Similarly, the proposal to permit up to five clients at any one time for Type 1 Home Based Businesses and up to eight at any one time for Type 2 Home Based Businesses received positive support (85% and 86%, respectively). However, through long-form survey responses and in-person discussions it was made clear that many current Home Based Business operators viewed limiting group sessions to five for Type 1 Home Based Businesses as a concern noting the current cap of six. This issue and staff’s proposed response is addressed in more detail in the following discussion section. Currently, a home based business is permitted one non-resident employee. It is proposed to permit a home based business up to two non-resident employees for Type 1 Home Based Businesses and up to three non-resident employees for Type 2 Home Based Businesses, providing employee parking is provided on-site. The proposed expansion received strong support for both Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses (91% and 91%, respectively). iv)Permitted Home Based Business Uses As part of the review of the home based business zoning regulations, it is proposed to expand the types of activities permitted as home based business uses. Respondents indicated if they would support the type of activity as a permitted use for only Type 1 6 Home Based Businesses, only Type 2 Home Based Businesses, or for both Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses. The table on the following page indicates the levels of support received for permitting the proposed types of activities for both Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses. Use Level of Support for use for both Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses Animal Services 67% Health Services 76% Homecraft 85% Office & Business Services 85% Off-site, online and mobile-based sales 86% Personal Services 81% Professional Services 82% Tutoring & Lessons 87% Expectedly, Animal and Health Services were the two uses to receive the lowest amount of support. In both cases, it is worth noting that respondents indicated a parallel interest in permitting the uses only as a Type 2 Home Based Business (21% for Animal; 12% for Health), which is counter to the proposed home based business regulations. For more information and staff’s response on this matter, refer to the below discussion section. v)Type 3 Home Based Business Recognizing there may be opportunities on larger properties (i.e. one or more acres) to accommodate additional uses or at levels of visitation and employment that are not permitted under the proposed Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Business categories, input was solicited on a proposed third category for home based businesses. Possible activities could include yoga or spa retreats, agri-tourism opportunities, and small wedding & celebration events. Strong support from the survey (97%) as well as through in-person discussion was received for the proposed Type 3 Home Based Business category. Respondents indicated a preference for permitting Type 3 Home Based Businesses as an outright use (65%) over a new zone (26%), as the outright approach was seen to be less onerous for an applicant, yet could incorporate options to enforce complaints. In-person conversation and long-form survey responses also indicated a preference for not permitting a business that could disturb a neighbourhood with excessive noise, fumes, outdoor storage and traffic. Other possible uses suggested for a Type 3 Home Based Business included health services, animal services, professional retreats, agri-tech, food packaging, small trucking/distribution companies, cooking classes, and child care. DISCUSSION: Community outreach initiatives have clearly revealed support for updating the home based business zoning bylaw regulations and the desire to explore a full range of possible home based business uses. Community members recognize the benefits of supporting local job growth within the City and support the new directions. At the same time, community dialogue did raise some concerns that would benefit from further discussion. i)Daily Visits & Group Sessions The updates brought forward proposed to permit up to five clients at any one time for multi-family units and single family lots under 1,200m2 (0.3 acres) and up to eight clients at any one time for single family lots over 1,200m2 (0.3 acres). However, a common 7 concern and topic of discussion throughout the consultation activities was the importance of maintaining six clients at once for tutoring and lesson uses for business viability and to remain consistent with current allowances. Having discussed these parameters with members of the public and of home based business owners, it is now recommended to increase the number of permitted clients from five to six for home based businesses in multi-family units and on one family and two family residential zoned lots under 1,200m2 (0.3 acres), subject to the daily maximum of ten daily visits. The proposed maximum number of group clients for home based businesses on one family and two family residential zoned lots over 1,200m2 or more remains unchanged. ii) Permitted Uses Interest in expanding the types of uses permitted as a home based business was demonstrated to be strong. Not surprisingly, discussion took place about the parameters of three of the proposed home based business uses: Animal Services, Health Services and Personal Services. Some concern was noted about permitting Animal Services as an on-site Type 1 Home Based Business given the smaller site area, therefore staff continue to recommend that only mobile-based animal service operations be permitted for Type 1 Home Based Businesses. Type 2 Home Based Business Animal Service operations would be permitted both mobile-based and on-site operations. The level of support received for permitting on-site Health Services for Type 1 was less pronounced, yet still quite positive. However, there was a clear call for permitting Health Services as a permitted use for Type 3 Home Based Businesses. Staff continue to support on-site Health Services as a permitted use for Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses as well as suggest Health Services as a permitted use for Type 3 Home Based Businesses, noting the opportunity for such a use to be enlarged under the possible third type of home based business. Clear and enthusiastic support for permitting personal services as a home based business use for both Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses was received throughout the community consultation process. Feedback received indicated interest in services such as reflexology as well as non-RMT massage being included within the personal services umbrella. Given on-going discussions with Fraser Health and Bylaw & Licencing Services, it is understood that these services would be able to be included and approved as a personal service home based business use. iii) Types of Home Based Business Throughout the consultation process the two-pronged approach to home based business regulation was well received, including the 1,200m2 (0.3 acre) threshold between Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses. When looking at opportunities for larger home based businesses to be accommodated on larger properties, there was strong support for pursuing an avenue to incorporate a potential Type 3 Home Based Business. While feedback identified strong support for the Type 3 Home Based Business concept, reservations were identified regarding the potential impacts a Type 3 Home Based Business may have on the neighbourhood. Community consultation supports considering each application for a Type 3 Home Based Business on its own merits, and be subject to site-specific traffic, servicing, on-site parking, screening, among other requirements. Equally, the feedback received expressed interest in not creating a process that would be 8 onerous for an applicant. Feedback also identified the importance of the complaint process, and having enforcement as an option, if needed. While survey responses identified support for permitting Type 3 Home Based Businesses as an outright use, the unknowns related to future and possibly unique home based business proposals along with the need to assess any possible impacts on a site specific basis, has led staff to recommend that individual text amendments to the Zoning Bylaw be the implementation tool for Type 3 Home Based Businesses. A text amendment would permit each application to be considered on a case-by-case basis and would result in site-specific requirements that would, ideally, address any possible neighbourhod impacts. A text amendment also permits the opportunity for public comment on each application, through the public hearing process. iv)Parking Many residents, home based business operators, and staff from Bylaw & Licencing Services have identified and raised reservations over the parking implications the proposed changes may present. While on-site parking requirements for non-resident employees of Type 1 and Type 2 Home Based Businesses are envisioned to be dealt with on-site, it is worth highlighting that few home based business operators indicated that they employ (or have previously) employed an employee. Should these proposed changes be adopted, Bylaw & Licencing Services have agreed to monitor and report any potential impacts from increasing the number of visiting clients on the neighbourhoods. v)Other Considerations Overnight Stays Community members indicated an interest in how overnight uses (including AirBnB) would be incorporated into the Zoning Bylaw however there was also the recognition that it is a separate discussion and not considered a home based business use. Additional reports to Council regarding overnight stays (including AirBnB) will be forthcoming through the Economic Development Department. Permit Process Community consultation revealed several specific concerns with the business licencing procedures specifically related to home based businesses. While outside of the scope of this home based business update which is focused on zoning amendments, it does identify areas for future review by either the Home Based Business Task Force and/or as part of the Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw alignment which would be required should any proposed changes to the zoning bylaw regarding home based businesses be adopted. Additional reports to Council regarding the home based business permitting process will be forthcoming through the Economic Development Department. Encouraging Regional Economic Opportunities Community outreach identified strong interest in the Inter-municipal Business Licencing program. Specifically, business owners would like to see the program expanded from construction-related operations to include a wider range of business types. Few home based business operators indicated an interest in growing their business beyond the home to seek a commercial space although more indicated a desire to grow the business within the home. Additional reports to Council encouraging regional economic opportunities for home based businesses will be forthcoming through the Economic Development Department. 9 HOME BASED BUSINESS TASK FORCE: Staff would like to acknowledge the dedication of the HBB Task Force members for their input on the proposed changes to the Zoning Bylaw as well as their time and effort in supporting the City’s community consultation activities throughout September. At their September 26, 2017 meeting, following the September engagement activities, the HBB Task Force reiterated their support of the revised directions and parameters of the proposed updates to the Zoning Bylaw. While there was an identified preference for permitting Type 3 Home Based Businesses as an outright use over a rezoning process, the HBB Task Force expressed support for the Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394-2017 to be considered by Council in its current form, introducing the minor responses proposed by Staff following the community’s input. The HBB Task Force looks forward to advancing with their mandate to help make the City more ‘home based business friendly’ by being involved in the review of the home based business permitting process and with the communication and promotion of the updated home based business regulations. INTERGOVERNMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Agricultural Land Commission As the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) allows home occupation on parcels in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and this Bylaw regulates land use within the ALR, Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394-2017, if given first reading, will be referred to the ALC for comment. Comments received from the ALC will be included as part of the second reading report of Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394- 2017. INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Bylaw & Licencing Services Department The Bylaw & Licencing Services Department has been working in collaboration with both the Planning and Economic Development Departments. Recognizable challenges have been raised over a number of the proposed amendments. This includes the need to monitor the potential for neighbourhood traffic and parking impacts from increasing the permitted number of visiting clients to each home based business and the continued challenge of unenclosed storage, and the parking of commercial vehicles, at home based businesses. Bylaw & Licencing Services staff are interested in using the home based business regulatory review process as an opportunity to align several bylaws. It would also be an opportunity to refine and potentially address some of the previously identified concerns with the home based business licencing process, including the implementation of mobile business licences. Should the proposed changes be adopted, changes to the Business Licencing and Regulation Bylaw would be required and would follow in a separate report. Economic Development Department As the organizers of the HBB Task Force, the Economic Development Department has been involved with the home based businesses review. The Economic Development Department supports and encourages home based business expansion within the City as they are considered an essential step in creating businesses within the community. Additional reports to Council regarding the work of the HBB Task Force in regards to the communication and process components will be forthcoming through the Economic Development Department. 10 DRAFT BYLAW: Originally, Staff were tasked with providing Council with a summary of the consultation feedback in order to shape the direction of the Zoning Bylaw amendments. However, having heard strong support for the proposed updates to the home based business zoning bylaw regulations, Staff support moving forward with a bylaw to amend the home occupation regulations of the Zoning Bylaw. Given the positive feedback from the community consultation activities covered in this report, and allowing for the minor changes outlined above, staff present Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394- 2017 for Council consideration. Staff ask that Bylaw No. 7394-2017 be forwarded to the next Council meeting for consideration by Council for first reading. The full text of Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7394-2017 is available in Appendix C. CONCLUSION: The intent of the home based business review was to look at ways to update, modernize and improve regulations to better facilitate existing home based businesses and provide greater opportunities for expanding home based business in the City while balancing the needs of the residential communities in which these operations exist. With the presented regulatory changes, such measures represent a key step in an overall home based business review process that is aimed at promoting the City as “home based business friendly”. This report summarizes the results of the community consultation which took place throughout September 2017. “Original signed by Amanda Grochowich” ______________________________________________ Prepared by: Amanda Grochowich, MCIP, RPP Planner 1 “Original signed by Lino Siracusa” ______________________________________________ Concurrence: Lino Siracusa Manager of Economic Development “Original signed by Christine Carter” ______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” ______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

An Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment to redesignate the southeast portion of the subject property as Conservation will be required to identify and protect the steep slopes and watercourse located there. This application is exempt from the Community Amenity Contribution charge because less than four single family lots are being proposed. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i.The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii.The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii.The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v.Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7379-2017 be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules (A, C, F and J) of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application. 1103 -2 - DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Aplin & Martin Consultants, David Laird Legal Description: Lot 4, Except: Firstly: Part on Plan 3041, Secondly: Parcel “A” (Reference Plan 4611), Section 27, Township 12, NWP2510 OCP: Existing: Suburban Residential Proposed: Suburban Residential and Conservation Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 Designation: Suburban and Estate Suburban Residential South: Use: Road Right of Way and Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 Designation: Suburban Residential East: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-2 Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Road Right of Way and Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 1.546 ha (3.82 acres) Access: Alouette Road Servicing requirement: Rural Standard b)Site Characteristics: The subject property, located at 12842 Alouette Road, is a trapezoidal shaped lot 15,460 m 2 (3.82 acres) in size. It is located to the northeast and outside of the urban area boundary, close to the South Alouette River (see Appendix A). The subject property is generally flat except in its southeast corner where steep slopes lead up to a ridge. A tributary of Bosa Creek may also be located in the southeast corner of the lot. The subject property is grassed and largely clear of trees except on its periphery, and contains a single family dwelling as well as a number of sheds and other storage outbuildings (see Appendix B). -3 - The subject property is generally surrounded by single family dwellings in a rural setting. A road right of way for 128 Street borders the southern edge of the subject property, while Alouette Road and an old railway alignment border its western edge. A sliver of the property was divided off from the western edge of the main parcel when the right of way for the railway alignment was first proposed in the early 1900s. It is anticipated that this sliver will be dedicated as road if the rezoning application completes. c)Project Description: The current applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to accommodate the subdivision and construction of approximately three single family dwellings ranging in size from 4,000 m2 to 5,137 m2. The proposed preliminary subdivision sketch (see Appendix D) shows that the lots front onto Alouette Road. 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 Official Community Plan designates the subject property as Suburban Residential. The following OCP policies support the rezoning of the subject property to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone: Section 3.1.3 Residential Designations, describes the Suburban Residential designation as supporting single detached and duplex housing in areas outside the Urban Area Boundary that have water service but which are not connected to the municipal sanitary sewer system. Policy 3-11 supports single detached housing on large suburban lots. Lot sizes in this designation are generally 0.4 hectares in size. In August, 2016 Council received a staff report outlining Suburban Residential and Estate Suburban Residential land use designation options. On September 5, 2017 after further review Council resolved that no changes would be made to the Estate Suburban and Suburban Residential OCP policies and that residential development in these areas could proceed accordingly. The proposed rezoning and preliminary subdivision is also consistent with applications that have been approved in the area. Properties immediately to the northwest and northeast were rezoned to create RS-2 lots, while properties to the west, east and south are rural single family residential areas. Therefore, this application is consistent with the Suburban Residential designation of the OCP, and is consistent with the character of the surrounding area. -4 - Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 12842 Alouette Road from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit the subdivision of three single family residential lots. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 zone is 8,000 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-2 zone is 4,000 m2. The proposed preliminary subdivision sketch shows the three lots range in size from 4,000 m2 to 5,137 m2. The applicant has proposed to dedicate approximately 1,490 m2 from the southeast end of the property for the protection of the steep slope and watercourse located there. The sufficiency of this dedicated area will be evaluated prior to second reading. The current application has not requested any variances to the Zoning Bylaw at this time. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for single family residential developments. Pursuant to Section 8.9 and 8.10 of the OCP, a combined Watercourse Protection/Natural Features Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas, and to ensure that development is protected from hazardous conditions (i.e. steep slopes). Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required 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 Permit Area, identified on Map 1 in Section 8.12 of the Official Community Plan. Prior to second reading, a Registered Professional Forester’s Report will be required to determine wildfire mitigation requirements. Advisory Design Panel: This application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel because a Form and Character Development Permit is not required for single family residential dwellings. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because fewer than five dwelling units are being proposed. -5 - e)Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a)Engineering Department; b)Fire Department; c)Licences, Bylaws and Permits Department; d)Parks Department; e)School District; f)Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f)Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. g)Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended: 1.An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2.A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 3.A combined Watercourse Protection/Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule F and G); 4.A Wildfire Development Permit Application (Schedule J); 5.A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP. Justification has been provided to support an OCP amendment to redesignate the southwest portion of the subject property as Conservation to account for the steep slopes and a watercourse located there. Therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading to this rezoning application subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. -6 - It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer. “Original signed by Chee Chan” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Chee Chan, M.U.P., MCIP, RPP, B.

The minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557m². The proposed RS-1b zoning complies with the policies of the Official Community Plan (OCP); however, an amendment to the OCP is required to adjust the Conservation boundary around the watercourse. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7193-2015 on January 12, 2016. Pursuant with Council resolution, the application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program at a rate of $5,100 per lot, for an estimated amount of $51,000.00. 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. 7383-2017 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting (DIM), 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. 7383-2017 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. 7383-2017 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7383-2017 be given first and second readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7193-2015 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 6)That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading: i)Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedules "B" and “C”; 1104 -2 - ii)Road dedication as required; iii)Park dedication, as required, 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; v)Removal of existing building/s; vi) 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; and vii)That a voluntary contribution, in the amount of $51,000.00 be provided in keeping with the Council Policy with regard to Community Amenity Contributions. DISCUSSION: 1)Background Context: Applicant: Bissky Architecture and Urban Design Inc. Legal Description: Lot 1 District Lot 276 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 80156 OCP: Existing: Urban Residential, Conservation Proposed: Urban Residential, Conservation (new boundaries) Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Conservation Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Church Zone: P-4 (Church Institutional) Designation: Institutional and Conservation West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential and Conservation - 3 - Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Singe Family Residential Site Area: 1.05 Ha (2.6 acres) Access: 123 Avenue and new road Servicing requirement: Urban Standard 2) Background: The subject property, located at 20621 123 Avenue, is 1.05 ha (2.6 acres) in size and is bound by the Burnett Fellowship Baptist Church to the east, City owned conservation land, including McKenney Creek, to the north, single family lots to the west and 123 Avenue to the south (see Appendix A). Currently a single family dwelling is located on the property close to the southern property boundary, which is accessed from 123 Avenue. The majority of the subject property is relatively flat, with a ravine and McKenney Creek located on the northern portion of the property. Mature conifer and deciduous trees are located sporadically across the property; as well as grasses and invasive species, such as Himalayan Blackberry (see Appendix B). 3) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit future subdivision into approximately ten single family residential lots. The proposed lots will be accessed from 123 Avenue and a new local road. A portion of the proposed new local road was previously dedicated as a component of the church re-development to the east. This new road may allow access to the Church in the future; however, one of the two current accesses for the Church along 123 Avenue may require removal if the new local road is to provide another access. The applicant intends to remove the existing house, which will be a condition of final reading. McKenney Creek runs in an east-west direction across the northern tip of the subject property and will be dedicated as Conservation as a condition of final reading. 4) Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The subject property is located within the Urban Area Boundary and is currently designated Urban Residential and Conservation. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to adjust the Conservation area boundary (see Appendix C). The subject property fronts 123 Avenue, 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: 3 - 20 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 (11m) with an emphasis on ground oriented units for all developments except for apartments; c) a maximum height of four storeys for apartments; and -4 - 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 is further detailed in Policy 3-21 which states: 3 - 21 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 rezoning to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) is in conformance with the Urban Residential – Major Corridor designation and infill policies. ii)Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to permit future subdivision into approximately ten single family residential lots (see Appendix D). The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is 0.80 ha (8000 m²) and the minimum lot size for the proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone is 557 m². Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. iii)Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxation: Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 406, Regulations For The Area, Shape and Dimensions Of Lots That May Be Created by Subdivision (1)(a)(ii): To reduce the minimum building area by 1.5m within the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone to accommodate a Statutory Right-of-Way for sanitary purposes on Lot 10. The requested variances to the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone will be the subject of a future Council report. iv) 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: - 5 -  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. v) Advisory Design Panel: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for single family development; therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. vi) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held at Burnett Fellowship Church on July 10, 2017. Approximately 25 people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:  Concerns about the lot grading and road grading, in particular, that the storm water would flow onto the church property;  Concern about the loss of privacy;  Concern about increased traffic caused by the ten new lots, and the potential hazard with the existing church accesses; and  Access to the church from new road. . The following are provided in response to the issues raised by the public:  A bioswale will be located along the east side of proposed road adjacent to the Church to capture storm water runoff and directed to a rain garden within Conservation area;  In terms of loss of privacy, the new lots are meeting setback requirements for the zone; and  Consideration has been given to access the Church from the new proposed road; however, if this is to occur, one of the two existing accesses for the Church along 123 Avenue would be required to be removed. vii) 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. 5) Environmental Implications: One component of the Stormwater Management Plan is a proposed bioswale to be located along the eastern side of the newly proposed internal road. The bioswale is designed to capture, infiltrate, treat and convey the surface storm water to the raingarden feature located within the proposed Conservation area (see Appendix E). Both the bioswale and raingarden will consist of low maintenance trees, shrubs and ground cover that will be compatible with frequent periods of wetted -6 - conditions. A Local Area Service (LAS) Bylaw will not be required for the bioswale or raingarden, as it has been designed to be low maintenance. McKenney Creek, located on the northern property boundary, requires a 30 m (98 ft.) setback from the top of bank. This setback area will be dedicated back to the City as Conservation. Invasive species, such as Himalayan Blackberry, have been identified on the subject property and will be removed as part of the enhancement and restoration works, as well as the replanting of native grasses, shrubs and trees. Interdepartmental Implications: i)Engineering Department: A Rezoning Servicing Agreement is not required for the subject application, as there are no off-site works or services required. All deficient services will be provided through the Subdivision Servicing Agreement at the time of subdivision. Access to the Church parking lot from the new proposed road may occur in the future; however, in order to do so, the Church will need to remove one of its two accesses currently located off 123 Avenue. 6)School District No. 42 Comments: School District 42 has noted that the subject property falls within the Fairview Elementary and Westview Secondary school catchment areas. Actual numbers for 2016 indicate that Fairview Elementary is at 67% utilization, with 279 students. Secondary school enrollment numbers for 2016 indicate that Westview Secondary is at 64% utilization, with 765 students. 7)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 boundaries around a watercourse, 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. -7 - CONCLUSION: It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7383-2017, that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No.7193-2015, and that application 2015- 347-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing. “Original signed by Adam Rieu” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adam Rieu Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Subject Map Appendix B – Ortho Map Appendix C – OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7383-2017 Appendix D – Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7193-2015 Appendix E – Proposed Subdivision Plan DATE: Nov 17, 2015 FILE: 2015-347-RZ BY: PC PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY ´ Scale: 1:2,000 20621 123 AVENUELegend Stream Ditch Centreline Indefinite Creek River Centreline APPENDIX A City of PittMeadows District of Langley District of MissionFRASER R. ^ DATE: Nov 17, 2015 FILE: 2015-347-RZ BY: PC PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY ´ Scale: 1:2,000 20621 123 AVENUE Aerial Imagery from the Spring of 2011 APPENDIX B CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE BYLAW NO. 7383-2017 A Bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 _______________________________________________________________________________ WHEREAS Section 477 of the Local Government Act provides that the Council may revise the Official Community Plan; AND WHEREAS it is deemed expedient to amend Schedules "B" & "C" to the Official Community Plan; NOW THEREFORE, the Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge, enacts as follows: 1.This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7383-2017 2.Schedule "B" is hereby amended for that parcel or tract of land and premises known and described as: Lot 1 District Lot 276 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 80156 and outlined in heavy black line on Map No. 955, a copy of which is attached hereto and forms part of this Bylaw, is hereby designated/amended as shown. 2.Schedule “C” is hereby amended for that parcel or tract of land and premises known and described as: Lot 1 District Lot 276 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 80156 and outlined in heavy black line on Map No. 956, a copy of which is attached hereto and forms part of this Bylaw, is hereby amended by adding Conservation. 3.

However, an amendment to the OCP is required to amend the Conservation boundary. 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. 7396-2017 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting (DIM), 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. 7396-2017 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. 7396-2017 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7396-2017 be given first and second readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7287-2016 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 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; 1105 - 2 - ii) Amendment to Official Community Plan Schedule "A", Chapter 10.2 Albion Area Plan, Schedule 1: Albion Area Plan, Figure 1: and Schedule “C” iii) Road dedication and lane dedication as required; iv) Trail construction as required. v) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Geotechnical Report, which addresses the suitability of the subject properties for the proposed development; vi) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the protection of the Environmentally Sensitive land on the subject properties; vii) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for protecting the Visitor Parking; viii) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management; ix) Notification to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and the Ministry of Environment for in-stream works on the site; x) That a voluntary contribution, in the amount of $246,900.00 ($5,100.00/lot plus $4,100.00/unit) be provided in keeping with the Council Policy with regard to Community Amenity Contributions. xi) That an additional Amenity Contribution for density bonus in the RM-1 Townhouse Zone be provided in the amount of $3,100.00 per unit, for a total of $167,400.00. DISCUSSION: 1) Background Context: Applicant: Cipe Homes Inc. Legal Description: Lot: 1, Section: 15, Township: 12, Plan: NWP22347 & Lot: 2, Section: 15, Township: 12, Plan: NWP22347 OCP: Existing: MRES (Medium Density Residential), CONSRV (Conservation) Proposed: Medium Density Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), R-2 (Urban Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Urban Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Residential (Albion Area Plan) South: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Conservation (Albion Area Plan) - 3 - East: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low Density Residential, Medium Density Residential, and Conservation (Albion Area Plan). West: Use: Townhouse Residential Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Townhouse and Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.778 HA. (2 acres) Access: 240th Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard 2) Background: The site is within the Albion Area Plan and is located along a major arterial road (240 th Street). A watercourse (Seigel Creek) traverses the site along its eastern edge. Environmentally sensitive portions of the site are to be dedicated as a condition of rezoning. 3) Project Description: This residential development proposal combines 5 smaller lot single family housing forms at the north edge of the site with ground oriented townhouse (54 units) for the remainder of the site. This proposal is generally consistent with the land use designation of the site. In addition, the smaller lot single family lots offer a transition between the single family development to the north of the site and the proposed townhouse development. 4) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is designated Medium Density Residential and Conservation. For the proposed development an OCP amendment is required to adjust the site’s conservation boundaries. A number of residential zones align with the Medium Density Residential District, including both of the proposed zones (RM-1 Townhouse Residential and R-2 Urban Residential District). For this reason, this proposal is consistent with the Official Community Plan. The setback area along Seigel Creek will trigger requirements for restoration and enhancement works that will need to be addressed with the Watercourse Protection Development Permit that will be required as part of this development. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the properties located at 11300 & 11250 240th Street from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and R-2 (Urban Residential District) Minimum parcel size for the current RS-3 One Family Rural Residential zone is 0.8 hectares (2 acres) if connected to municipal water, and the minimum lot size for the proposed R- 2 (Urban Residential District) zone is 315 m2. The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 - 4 - (Townhouse Residential) Zone is 557 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zones will require a Development Variance Permit application. The proposed density of the townhouse portion of the site will exceed the 0.6 FSR maximum in the RM-1 Zone. However, the site is within the Albion Area and therefore may utilize density bonus provisions, to a maximum of 0.75 FSR. The additional Amenity Contribution for this density bonus is $3,100.00 per unit, which for 54 units, will amount to $167,400.00. This fee will be in addition to the $3,100.00 per unit Amenity Contribution charges. i) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw: The R-2 (Urban Residential District) Zone has a required parking compliment of 2 stalls per dwelling unit. Parking for the single family portion of this development will be addressed as part of the required building permit after subdivision occurs. The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Zone has a required compliment of 2 stalls per dwelling unit and an additional 0.2 stalls per unit for visitor parking. Most of the required residential parking will be accommodated in double car garages, with 5 of the townhouse units proposed to have tandem parking. A total of 108 stalls is required for resident parking. Required visitor parking is provided throughout the site with 6 regular stalls, 2 accessible stalls, and 3 small car stalls. A total of 11 visitor stalls are provided. These parking provisions meet the requirements of the bylaw. ii) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations (see Appendix D): Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, The following variances will be required:  Front yard setback from 7.5 to 4.5 metres  Rear yard setback from 7.5 to 5.0 metres  Side yard setback (north side) from 7.5 to 4.0 metres  Side yard setback (south side) from 7.5 to 6.0 metres The requested variances to the RM-1 Townhouse Residential Zone will be the subject of a future Council report. iii) Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to ensure the current townhouse proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses. Council will have the opportunity to review these details further in their consideration of the Development Permit. In addition, pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. A Natural Features Development Permit application is also required, pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for: - 5 -  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. iv) Advisory Design Panel: The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held on June 13, 2017. Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the following resolution that: That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and be submitted to Planning staff for follow-up: 1. Consider reducing the use of vinyl, particularly at ground level; 2. Provide postal kiosk details, including garbage and recycling amenities. Provide a parking space close to mail box that does not require backing out. Connect directly to kiosk with paving; 3. Provide alternate road surface, especially at internal intersection; 4. Provide accessible connectivity to and from handicap parking stalls; 5. Substitute a few of the Maple species with other species; and 6. Provide a thematic gateway element at the entrance to the development. 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. v) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held at Kanaka Creek Elementary School on May 24, 2017. A total of 3 people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:  Need for improved bike lanes  Better pedestrian connectivity The following is provided in response to the issues raised by the public:  Comments received were not directly applicable to the applicant’s proposal. vi) Parkland Requirement: For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as park on the subject properties and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of Final Reading. - 6 - 5) Environmental Implications: Environmentally sensitive portions of the site include the watercourse and steep slopes on the northeast portion of the site. The development layout reflects these site constraints. A reduction in stream setback area from 30 to 22.5 metres will be compensated for by instream habitat complexing and offsite habitat improvements including the removal of invasive species. 6) Interdepartmental Implications: i) Engineering Department: Engineering Comments focused on the required road dedication, and improvements required along 240th Street, including widening to support construction of a left turn lane at the intersection along 112th Avenue. Additional works will be required as a condition of subdivision for the single family development. ii) Parks & Leisure Services Department: A multi use path will be required along 240th Street. In addition, the applicant is to provide a publicly accessible trail within the park dedication on the east side of the site which will be connected to 112th Ave with future developments. The location of the trail will be situated in order to protect significant trees and watercourses and avoid disturbances to existing grades. At least two pedestrian connections into the townhome development to access the trail are to be provided. iii) License, Permits and Bylaws Department: Referrals have been made for the required development permit and development variance permit. Comments received will be reflected in the reports accompanying those applications. iv) Fire Department: Comments focused on the need for a fire safety plan, for address visibility, and for appropriate handling of existing structures prior to demolition. 7) 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 conservation boundaries, 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. The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. - 7 - 8) Citizen/Customer Implications: A Development Information Meeting has been provided previously by the applicant. Additional opportunities for public input will be provided through the required notification process for the Development Variance Permit and for the required Public hearing as part of this rezoning application. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7396-2017, that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7287-2017, and that application 2016- 336-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing. “Original signed by Diana Hall” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Diana Hall M.A. MCIP, RPP Planner 2 “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Subject Map Appendix B – Ortho Map Appendix C – OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7396-2017 Appendix D – Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7287-2016 Appendix E – Subdivision Plan Appendix F – Streetscapes Appendix G –Landscape Plan DATE: Sep 1, 2016 FILE: 2016-336-RZ BY: PC PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTIES ´ Scale: 1:3,000 11250 & 11300 240 STREETLegend Stream Ditch Centreline Edge of Marsh Indefinite Creek River Centreline Lake or Reservoir Marsh APPENDIX A City of PittMeadows District of Langley District of MissionFRASER R . ^ DATE: Sep 1, 2016 FILE: 2016-336-RZ BY: PC PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTIES ´ Scale: 1:3,000 11250 & 11300 240 STREET Aerial Imagery from the Spring of 2015 APPENDIX B CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE BYLAW NO. 7396-2017 A Bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 ___________________________________________________________________________________ WHEREAS Section 477 of the Local Government Act provides that the Council may revise the Official Community Plan; AND WHEREAS it is deemed expedient to amend Schedules "A" & "C" to the Official Community Plan; NOW THEREFORE, the Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge, enacts as follows: 1.This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7396-2017." 2.

The Board of Education of School District 42 (the School District) entered into a Joint Acquisition Agreement with the City of Maple Ridge (the City) to facilitate the co-location and joint development of an Elementary School and Community Centre. The proposed zoning to P-1 (Park and School) will allow for the development of the new Albion Elementary School and Albion Community Centre. The three subject properties will be consolidated as part of rezoning conditions and then subdivided into the School District-owned Elementary School and the City-owned Community Centre. A Shared Use Agreement will be implemented between the School District and the City for facility programming, playfield use, trail networks, storage, and infrastructure requirements. A Cross Access Agreement and Reciprocal Statutory Right-of-Way will be required as a condition of rezoning to allow for the full movement of vehicles and parking between the facilities. This application requires an amendment to the Official Community Plan (OCP) to re-designate one of the three subject properties (24093 104 Avenue) from Medium Density Residential to Institutional. The other two subject properties are already designated as Institutional for the proposed uses. The area around the tributary to Spencer Creek will also be re-designated as Conservation. A text amendment is required to the Zoning Bylaw to add ‘community centre’ as one of the permitted uses to the ‘Assembly Use’ definition. As per Council Policy 6.31, Community Amenity Contributions are not required for this application, as it is not for residential development. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1)That, in accordance with Section 475 of the Local Government Act, Council has considered and provided opportunity for early and on-going consultation by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development Information Meeting (DIM), 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. 7369-2017 be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 1106 - 2 - 3) That it be confirmed that Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; 4) That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017 be given first and second readings and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 5) That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7364-2017 be given first and second readings, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; 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 10.2 Albion Area Plan, Schedule 1: Albion Area Plan, Figure 1: Northeast Albion and Schedule “C”; iii) Park dedication as required, including construction of walkways and trails; and removal of all debris and garbage from park land; iv) Consolidation of the subject properties; v) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Geotechnical Report, which addresses the suitability of the subject properties for the proposed development; vi) Registration of a Reciprocal Statutory Right-of-Way Agreement for shared parking; vii) Registration of a Reciprocal Cross Access Easement Agreement; viii) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Tree Protection; ix) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management; x) Submission of a Traffic Impact Study Report and approval of the report from the Engineering Department; xi) Removal of existing buildings; xii) A Water Supply Operating Permit from Fraser Health will be required for any water supply system serving everything other than a single family dwelling; xiii) A Professional Engineer’s certification that adequate water quantity for domestic and fire protection purposes can be provided; and xiv) 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 properties.

The three subject properties are a combined 4.1 ha (10 acres) in size. The two western properties are currently vacant, while the property at 24137 104 Avenue has an existing house that will require removal as a condition of final reading. The subject properties have a significant amount of vegetation located across the properties, with steep slopes located on both the western and eastern property boundaries. A tributary to Spencer Creek originates on the eastern-most property and runs north to the mainstem of Spencer Creek (see Appendix B). The area around this tributary will be dedicated back to the City as Conservation (see Appendix C). The current application is proposing to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to P-1 (Park and School) to permit the construction of an Elementary School and Community Centre (see Appendix D). The School District and the City have entered into a Joint Acquisition Agreement to facilitate the development of the subject properties. Shared use agreements will be implemented for joint facility programming, playfield use, trail networks, storage, and infrastructure requirements. A Cross Access Agreement will be required as part of the rezoning conditions to allow for the movement of vehicles between each facility for access and egress from each site. A Reciprocal Statutory Right-of-Way will be required for the shared parking between each facility. Once the subject properties are rezoned and consolidated, a subdivision application will be required to create the two lots, consisting of the School District-owned Elementary School and the City -owned Community Centre. The proposed Elementary School will be located centrally on the site with a lot size of approximately 2.7 ha (6.6 acres). The site will consist of an Elementary School with a gross floor area of approximately 5,147 m² (55,403 ft²). A full-size playfield will be located in the northwest corner of the school site; a looping trail for student use with a future connection to the trail network near Spencer Creek; and parking for 55 vehicles, combined with the Community Centre’s 86 proposed parking stalls for a total of 141 parking stalls. The proposed Elementary School (see Appendix E) is designed to incorporate a 21st century learning environment consisting of a ‘Pod concept’ of communal learning and access to indoor/outdoor classrooms. In addition, an Environmental Pod will showcase some of the school’s sustainability features to include: solar panels; windows with actuators for optimal heating and cooling; stormwater/rainwater harvesting, which will help to recharge the tributary to Spencer Creek; and an internal LED display identifying the various features, such as energy gains and temperature. The school’s aesthetics will consist of wood-frame construction throughout (see Appendix F). The gym has been designed with aboriginal input providing a traditional longhouse column and beam structure. Efficient window placement near the roof line will allow natural light in and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Natural play areas will be incorporated into the landscape plan and will consist of permeable surfaces (see Appendix G). The proposed Community Centre will be located in the southeast corner of the subject properties, with a lot size of approximately 0.76 ha (1.9 acres). The site will consist of one building with a gross floor area of approximately 1,686 m² (18,148 ft²). The concept for the Community Centre will have a focus on the performing arts and local theatre, and anticipates a small indoor and outdoor amphitheater and stage. The Community Centre will provide services for all ages from infants to seniors, but will have an emphasis on school-age children and youth. The building will be designed to work with the natural environment and incorporate view corridors to the local landscape and natural topography. The community consultation portion of the project for the Community Centre has been completed in terms of design; however, it is now up to the Architect to design the building - 5 - based on the community input. The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department will be working with Council to complete the Community Centre portion of the project. 3) Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The three subject properties are within the Albion Area Plan. The properties located at 24137 104 Avenue and PID 009-437-061 are designated Institutional in the OCP, and the property located at 24093 104 Avenue is designated Medium Density Residential. The property designated Medium Density Residential will require an OCP amendment to Institutional to align with the proposed rezoning to P-1 (Park and School). The area around the tributary to Spencer Creek will also be re- designated as Conservation. The Institutional designation applies to diverse uses that meet specific community needs. The re- designation for this development is supportable based on the following principles and policies within the OCP: Principle 4: The community recognizes that components of the built and natural environments contribute to the character of Maple Ridge and sense of community, and in turn, ‘placemaking’; Principle 36: Integrating growth with services, infrastructure, and schools is desirable for the future of Maple Ridge. Principle 38: Expanding services concurrently with development is regarded by the community as good planning and development practice. Policy 4-5: Maple Ridge supports the cooperative and community use of facilities belonging to the Municipality, School District, local churches and other agencies; as neighbourhood centres for gatherings; accessing educational, recreational, leisure and volunteer opportunities; and promoting capacity building and leadership development in the community. Policy 4-7: Maple Ridge supports the provision of both public and private education facilities to serve a broad range of interests, educational needs and age groups. Maple Ridge will locate community level and neighbourhood level parks adjacent to secondary schools and elementary schools, wherever possible. Policy 4-31: Small scale or locally serving institutional facilities that can be located throughout the community include: schools, community halls, parks and recreation facilities, museums, firehalls, and places of worship. These uses will be permitted in rural and urban areas subject to parking requirements, access, compliance with zoning bylaws, and compatibility with adjacent land uses. Policy 4-37: To meet the needs of a growing and changing population, appropriate facilities and services will be planned in consultation with Provincial and Regional agencies and authorities, including the Fraser Health Region. - 6 - ii) Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to P-1 (Park and School) to permit the development of a new Elementary School and Community Centre. The subject properties will be consolidated as a condition of rezoning and subdivided for a School District-owned Elementary School and a City-owned Community Centre. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is 0.80 ha (2 acres) and minimum lot size for the RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone is 0.40 ha (1 acre); there is no minimum lot size for the P-1 (Park and School) zone. The applicant will be seeking a text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw definition for ‘Assembly Use’ to include ‘community centre’ as one of the permitted uses. iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 requires 1 stall per 93m² gross floor area for public schools and 1 stall per 20m² gross floor area for assembly use (the Community Centre). The applicant is providing 56 parking stalls for the proposed Elementary School and 85 parking stalls for the proposed Community Centre, for a total of 141 parking stalls. Both uses meet the Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw minimum requirements. Two of the stalls will be identified as accessible parking for the Community Centre and one stall for accessible parking at the Elementary School. A Reciprocal Statutory Right-of-Way will be registered between the School District and the City to allow the various users to park at either facility. A Cross Access Easement will be registered to allow the full movement of vehicles between each facility for access and egress. iv) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations:  To reduce the side yard setback from 7.5m (24 ft.) to 1.0m (3 ft.); and  To increase the maximum retaining wall height from 1.2m (4 ft.) to 2.8m (9 ft.). The requested variances to the P-1 (Park and School) zone will be the subject of a future Council report. v) Development Permits: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for Institutional developments; however, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit are required, as outlined below. 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: - 7 -  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. vi) Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is not required for Institutional developments; therefore, the project did not have to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading. However, the applicant did submit design drawings to the Advisory Design Panel for preliminary comments in an effort to improve the design. The ADP recommendations have been considered and are reflected in the current plans. vii) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held at Alexander Robinson Elementary School on September 21, 2017. Seven people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:  Clarification on the catchment area for the proposed school; and  Concern about the speed of vehicles travelling along 104 Avenue. The applicant provided the following response to the issues raised by the public:  The catchment area for Albion area schools will be conducted by the School District and determined in the Fall of 2018; and  Enforcement of the speed limit does not fall within the jurisdiction of the School District. Comments have been forwarded to the Engineering Department. 4) Environmental Implications: The applicant has submitted an Environmental Assessment prepared by Environmental Dynamics Inc. (EDI). EDI have also worked with the Environment Section of the Planning Department to identify the Conservation boundary around the tributary to Spencer Creek. The proposed setbacks from the top of bank are between 22.5m (74 ft.) and 30m (98 ft.). The reduced setback (less than 30m) areas are located on the western section of the riparian area adjacent to the Elementary School, and the southeast section of the riparian area adjacent to the Community Centre (see Appendix E). In order to compensate for the encroachment into the 30m setback and subsequent loss of habitat, the applicant has provided compensation, to include:  Protection of a greater amount of comparable habitat on-site; and  Additional restoration works along the mainstem of Spencer Creek, located on the northern City-owned property; The applicant has provided a Tree Management Report, prepared by Arbortech Consulting, to ensure appropriate retention and compensation is provided for the trees on-site. Steep slopes have been identified on the western and eastern property boundaries. The site will require portions of the - 8 - property to be supported through retaining wall structures, specifically around the playfield location and the western property boundary (see Appendix E). Any retaining walls exceeding 1.2m (4 ft.) in height will be the subject of a future Development Variance Permit report to Council. Stormwater management features will include raingardens and bioswales to capture stormwater from impervious areas and redirect the runoff to the tributary of Spencer Creek. These stormwater features also have the ability to create wildlife habitat and educational opportunities for the students. 5) Interdepartmental Implications: i) Engineering Department: Concrete curb and gutters will be required along the north side of 104 Avenue. Sidewalks will be required on the north side of 104 Avenue and will consist of a 3m (10 ft.) multi-use path. The sidewalk will be constructed west of the school to the intersection of 104 Avenue and 240 Street, as well as east of the school, to connect with the existing sidewalk at 24225 104 Avenue. Street trees and street lights are required across the frontage of the subject properties to the collector road standard. The subject properties are situated within an area currently not serviced with municipal sanitary sewer. To service the site, a sanitary pump station will be required. The pump station is the applicant’s responsibility and shall be constructed to a municipal standard and have the capacity to service the adjacent lands. The pump station may ultimately be replaced by a pump station in the Albion Fairgrounds and the gravity sewer must be designed to be extended to the existing sewer west of 240 Street in the future. The applicant will be required to provide a Traffic Impact Assessment report. The approval of the report will be a condition of final reading. ii) Licences, Permits and Bylaws: The Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department will be addressing all matters relating to building permits and the demolition of the existing structures on the subject properties. The review also noted to ensure sufficient access for emergency vehicles and personnel is provided to the playing field. iii) Parks, Recreation and Culture Department: The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department requested the applicant to provide a looping trail for student use and for future connection to the trail networks near Spencer Creek. The trail design will work with the natural features in the area, including existing trees, topography and watercourses. 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 re-designate one of the subject properties located at 24093 104 Avenue, from Medium Density Residential to Institutional 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, or agencies of the Federal and Provincial Governments. - 9 - The amendment has been reviewed with the Financial Plan/Capital Plan and the Waste Management Plan of the Greater Vancouver Regional District and determined to have no impact. 7)Citizen/Customer Implications: A Development Information Meeting was held on September 21, 2017. The results of the concerns expressed at that meeting are discussed above. The Public Hearing will provide an additional venue for citizens to express their concern or support of the development. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017, that first and second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No.7364-2017 and that application - 2017-291-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing. “Original signed by Adam Rieu” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Adam Rieu Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by David Boag” _______________________________________________ Approved by: David Boag Director of Parks & Facilities “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Subject Map Appendix B – Ortho Map Appendix C – OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017 Appendix D – Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7364-2017 Appendix E – Site Plan Appendix F – Building Elevation Plans, Elementary School Appendix G – Landscape Plan DATE: Jul 5, 2017 2017-291-RZ 24093/24137 104 Avenue 009-437-061 PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTIES ´ Scale: 1:2,500 BY: JV Legend Stream Indefinite Creek River Major Rivers & Lakes APPENDIX A DATE: Jul 5, 2017 2017-291-RZ 24093/24137 104 Avenue 009-437-061 PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTIES Aerial Imagery from the Spring of 2016´ Scale: 1:2,500 BY: JV Legend Stream Indefinite Creek River Major Rivers & Lakes APPENDIX B CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE BYLAW NO. 7369-2017 A Bylaw to amend the Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 ___________________________________________________________________________________ WHEREAS Section 477 of the Local Government Act provides that the Council may revise the Official Community Plan; AND WHEREAS it is deemed expedient to amend Schedule "A", Chapter 10.2 Albion Area Plan, Schedule 1: Albion Area Plan, and Schedule “C” of the Official Community Plan; NOW THEREFORE, the Municipal Council of the City of Maple Ridge, enacts as follows: 1.This Bylaw may be cited for all purposes as "Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7369-2017 2.Schedule "A", Chapter 10.2 Albion Area Plan, Schedule 1: Albion Area Plan is hereby amended for that parcel or tract of land and premises known and described as: Lot 3 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 10921 Lot 4 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 10921 Lot 9 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 14750 and outlined in heavy black line on Map No. 952, a copy of which is attached hereto and forms part of this Bylaw, is hereby amended as shown. 3.Schedule “C” is hereby amended for that parcel or tract of land and premises known and described as: Lot 3 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 10921 Lot 4 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 10921 Lot 9 Section 10 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan 14750 and outlined in heavy black line on Map No. 963, a copy of which is attached hereto and forms part of this Bylaw, is hereby amended by adjusting the Conservation boundary.

This project is not subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) program as there is no residential component to the development. This application is in compliance with the OCP. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7257-2016 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 240th Street as required; iii)Registration of a Statutory Right-of-Way plan and agreement for pedestrian access from the south end of the site; iv) Registration of a Reciprocal Cross Access Easement Agreement; v)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Stormwater Management Plan vi) Removal of existing buildings; vii) Receipt of a Certificate of Compliance from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy noting conformance with applicable environmental quality standards in the Regulation; 1107 - 2 - DISCUSSION: 1) Background Context: Applicant: Platform Properties Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 16, Township 12, Plan NWP1676 OCP: Existing: Commercial Zoning: Existing: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Proposed: C-2 (Community Commercial) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Vacant Zone: CS-2 (Community Commercial) (recently completed under rezoning application 2016-039-RZ) Designation: Commercial South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District), RS1-b (One Family (Medium Density) Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural (in the Agricultural Land Reserve) West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-1 (Residential District) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Vacant Proposed Use of Property: Commercial Site Area: 0.946 ha. (2.3 acres) Access: 240 Street Servicing requirement: Urban Standard 2) Background: The first reading report noted the subject property was potentially a contaminated site, due to its previous uses as an auto wrecking yard. The applicant has commenced site remediation, and correspondence received from the Ministry of Environment received August 18, 2017, indicates that the remediation process is complete and the site is eligible for a Certificate of Compliance. The first reading report also discussed the Maple Ridge Housing Action Plan and its recommendations for increasing rental housing stock within the City. These recommendations included encouraging new rental units above commercial developments as they arise. Although pre- application meetings included dialogue for rental housing, the applicant’s preference consistently has been for single storey commercial without residential uses. The Council resolution accompanying first reading did not require second storey rental accommodation, and the meeting minutes did not indicate a preference for revisions towards this objective. For this reason, the application as proposed is considered supportable. - 3 - 3) Project Description: The applicant proposes to rezone the property and construct a multi-unit commercial development. The total proposed floor area is 2,859 square metres (30,774 ft2), distributed between one larger anchor tenant and several smaller commercial units. Through cross access agreements with adjacent properties, the proposed commercial site will be integrated with the other commercial uses to the north of the site (recently adopted Tim Horton’s site and the Outpost Liquor Store) 4) Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The subject property is located within the Urban Area Boundary and is designated Commercial. The OCP identifies the intersection of Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street as one of three Community Commercial Nodes in the city. The OCP further states that these nodes “are comprised of commercial or mixed use developments and typically serve several neighbourhoods; provide a wider range of services; and also serve as a focus for the community.” Typically, Community Commercial Nodes are less than 7,000 m² (75,350 ft²) in area, but may increase to 9,290 m² (100,000 ft²) over the long-term. The current commercial floor space at Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street is approximately 3,110 m2 (33,456 ft2), and this proposal will increase the commercial floor space to approximately 6,362 m² (68,480 ft2). It is noted that there are two other commercial rezoning projects in the Dewdney Trunk Road and 240 Street node, at 11951 240 Street and at 12040 240 Street. Once build-out is attained, the anticipated commercial floor space will be within the range suggested in the OCP as appropriate for meeting community needs. The C-2 (Community Commercial) zone aligns with the Commercial designation and the Community Commercial Node. In accordance with OCP Policy 6-12, an Agricultural Impact Assessment and Groundwater Impact Assessment are required due to the subject property’s adjacency to the Agricultural Land Reserve. A combined assessment report has been received and is discussed further in this report. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The Community Commercial Node in the Commercial land use designation aligns with both the CS-1 (Service Commercial) zone and the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone. The applicant is pursuing rezoning to the C-2 (Community Commercial) zone because the permitted principal uses reflect the anticipated mix of neighbourhood serving businesses. The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 11939 240 Street from CS-1 (Service Commercial) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit future construction of a multi- tenant commercial development. The minimum lot size for the current CS-1 (Service Commercial) zone is 929 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed C-2 (Community Commercial) zone is 2,500 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw: Parking requirements in the proposed C-2 Community Commercial Zone are based on gross floor area at a ratio of 1 parking stall per 30 square meters. The proposed commercial floor space is 2859 square meters, and therefore the required parking will be 96 parking stalls. The applicant is proposing 140 stalls, of which 3 are accessible, and 14 are for small cars. These parking provisions meet requirements in the Bylaw. - 4 - iv) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations (see Appendix D):  Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, o Rear yard setback to be varied from 6.0 metres to 4.5 meters.  Maple Ridge Sign Bylaw No. 4653 - 1992 o Free standing sign to be varied by increasing the copy area of the secondary sign to exceed maximum permitted. Total number of signs will be less than maximum permitted, from the permitted 3 to 2. Overall copy area will not exceed maximum permitted. The requested variances to the C-2 zone and Sign Bylaw will be the subject of a future Council report. v) Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the OCP, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal’s compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. The commercial development will have tall hedging at the interface between residential and commercial structures. The single storey massing will be unobtrusive in the residential context. Pedestrian circulation will be fostered with the landscape plan and asphalt treatments marking vehicle access points. vi) Advisory Design Panel: The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held on June 13, 2017. The following resolution was passed in regards to 2016-191-DP at the meeting of the Advisory Design Panel: That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design develops and be submitted to Planning staff for follow-up: 1. Provide planting islands to break up the parking strips. 2. Provide pavement treatment (such as stamped concrete or coloured asphalt) at entrances off of 240th. 3. Provide speed bumps before and after main pedestrian crossing to Building 2000. 4. Parking stalls along Buildings 1000 and 2000 to be done in alternative paving materials. 5. Provide outdoor seating in front of both buildings by reducing two stalls into “small car” stalls. 6. Provide screening for roof top units on both buildings and provide a detail on the architectural plans. 7. Accentuate the north east corner element of Building 1000 facing 240th Street. 8. Provide a second bracket at both corners of Building 1000 to balance elevation. 9. Indicate on landscaping plans that structural soil for trees in parking medians will be provided. 10. Consider providing additional bicycle racks. 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. - 5 - vii) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was held in the library at Andrew Robinson Elementary School on April 5, 2017. Approximately 15 people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points: Support for the land use proposal Concern with proposed lane connection and nuisance concerns of increased litter and inappropriate behaviour around the commercial development. Concern with the proposed garbage container location at the southwest portion of the site, due to noise, odour, and rodents. The applicant’s response is as follows: Issues raised point to conflicts between public concerns and municipal requirements, through required site services for pedestrian circulation, and development permit requirements. While there is no simple resolution to these issues raised, mitigation attempts are sought where possible, by means such the orientation of the garbage containers on the site. 5)Environmental Implications: The subject property was used as an autowrecking yard until 2013. Some contamination was noted, and remediation works have commenced. The Ministry of Environment confirms that required remediation is complete, and the project is eligible for a certificate of compliance. 6)Agricultural Impact: As 240th street marks the edge of the urban area boundary, the site is adjacent to ALR land to its east. The requirement for an agricultural impact assessment was thereby triggered, in accordance with Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan. The applicant has provided this assessment, with key findings as follows; Increased vehicle traffic: The assessment concluded that any negative impacts would be negligible. Noise and light pollution: The assessment noted that landscaping and lighting design would mitigate these effects. Increased pressure at the urban/rural interface: The assessment concluded that 240th street would provide an effective buffer at this interface. Pedestrian traffic: No impacts noted. Increased stormwater runoff: These impacts will be mitigated through the required Stormwater management plan. Contamination of groundwater: As previous site contamination will be remediated, the potential for further impacts will be reduced by this development. 7)Interdepartmental Implications: i)Engineering Department: Engineering comments noted the need for road dedication along 240 th Street, for servicing upgrades to sewer, water and storm, street improvements including sidewalk, curb and gutter, lighting, street trees. A traffic impact study was provided by the applicant in support of a second access on the subject property on 240th Street. This second access was approved as a right in, right out access, to be located approximately midway along the 240 Street frontage. - 6 - ii)License, Permits and Bylaws Department: Building Department comments will be reviewed in light of the required Development Permit application, and will be provided to Council at a later date. iii)Fire Department: Fire Department comments focused on a fire safety plan, including the placement of private fire hydrants, and appropriate addressing to assist with emergency response. 8)Intergovernmental Issues: As noted, involvement of the Ministry of Environment has been required for site remediation. 9)Citizen/Customer Implications: Public input has been received at the Development Information Meeting. Additional opportunities for citizen comment will be provided through the required Public Hearing, and through the notification process that will accompany the required development variance permit.

The requested variances are to: 1.Increase the maximum building height for the townhouse units, from 11m to 11.4m (34.4ft) 2.Reduce the front yard setback for the townhouse units, from 7.5m to 6m (19.6ft) to the building face, and 3.8m (12.4ft)to the deck 3.Reduce the rear yard setback for the townhouse units, from 7.5m to 7.0m (22.9ft) 4.Reduce the exterior side setback for the townhouse units, from 7.5m to 3.5m (11.4ft) to the building face, and 1.3m (4.2ft) to the deck 5.Reduce the interior side setback for the townhouse units, from 4.5m to 2.4m (7.8ft) to the building face, and 0.6m (1.9ft) to the deck 6.Increase the maximum height for retaining walls, from 1.2m to 1.8m (5.9ft) Council considered final reading for rezoning application 2016-008-RZ on September 19, 2017. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2016-008-DVP be approved. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-008-DVP respecting the property located at 24021 110 Avenue. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: Applicant: Greenwood Properties Ltd. Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 10, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan EPP68120 (recent consolidation of Lot 4, North Half / Lot 4, South Half / Lot 5, Block 9, Section 10, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan 17613 1108 - 2 - OCP : Medium Density Residential, Conservation Zoning: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.808 ha. in total (2 acres) Access: lane access off of 110 Avenue Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b)Project Description: The rezoning application proposed to rezone the original three subject properties (11016, 11032 and 11038 240 Street) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to permit future subdivision into 8 R-3 zoned single family lots, not less than 285m2, and a 15 unit townhouse development. The lots are consolidated as a requirement of rezoning. Access for all lots is proposed to be from a new lane created off of 110 Avenue. No driveway accesses are permitted onto 240 Street, as it is an arterial road where alternative access (i.e. a new lane) is available. The lane access is proposed to be a 9m thoroughfare from 110 Avenue into the townhouse site, to comply with Building Code and Fire Code requirements for direct Fire Department vehicle access. 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 Appendices C, D and E): In order to achieve the desired layout while ensuring the requirements for protection of the watercourse and natural habitat, consideration has been given to accomplish a reasonable design, while integrating dedication and compensation. Therefore, from an environmental planning point of view, the proposed variances are supportable. 1.Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 403 (8): To increase the maximum retaining wall height, from 1.2m to 1.8m - 3 - 2.Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602 6.a): To reduce the front yard setback, from 7.5m to 6m to the building face, and 3.8m to the deck, and To reduce the rear yard setback, from 7.5m to 7.0m, and Reduce the exterior side setback, from 7.5m to 3.5m to the building face, and 1.3m to the deck, and To reduce the interior side setback, from 4.5m to 2.4m to the building face, and 0.6m to the deck 3.Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602 (7a): To increase the maximum building height, from 11m to 11.4m d)Citizen/Customer Implications: In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to the permit. CONCLUSION: The proposed variances are supported because the townhouse units were designed in coordination with park dedication and environmental compensation areas to fit into the neighbourhood context and the lot design does not negatively impact surrounding residences. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-008-DVP. “Original signed by Therese Melser” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Therese Melser Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Subject Map Appendix B – Ortho Map Appendix C – Variance request retaining wall Appendix D - Variance requests for townhouse development DATE: Oct 5, 2017 2016-008-VP 24021 110 Avenue PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY ´ Scale: 1:2,500 BY: JV Legend Stream Indefinite Creek River Major Rivers & Lakes APPENDIX A City of PittMeadows District of Langley District of MissionFRASER R. ^ DATE: Jan 22, 2016 FILE: 2016-008-RZ BY: PC PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTIES ´ Scale: 1:2,500 11016/32/38 240 STREET Aerial Imagery from the Spring of 2011 110 AVE APPENDIX B APPENDIX C APPENDIX D City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: October 24, 2017 and Members of Council FILE NO: 2017-323-DVP FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit 23055 117 Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Development Variance Permit application (2017-323-DVP) has been received in conjunction with a subdivision application to subdivide the property located on 23055 117 Avenue into 10 proposed single family lots. The requested variance is to: 1.Reduce the required lot width in the R-1 zone, from 12m to 11.3m for lot 1, and to 11.4m for lot 2. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2017-323-DVP be approved.

The requested variance is to reduce the minimum width for the R-1 (Residential District) zone. 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 Appendices B and C): 1.Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Schedule D Minimum Lot Area and Dimensions: To reduce the minimum width for the R-1 (Residential District) zone, from 12m to 11.3m on lot 1, and to 11.4m on lot 2 The subdivision proposal is to subdivide the property into 10 lots, with 2 lots accessing from 117 Avenue and 8 lots getting access from a cul-de-sac connecting to Cliff Avenue. The Engineering Design Criteria Manual requires cul-de-sac’s to have a minimum radius for the proposed design. In order to satisfy the minimum lot area for R-1 zoned lots and have an acceptable frontage for proposed lot 2, a variance to reduce the width of proposed lot 1 and 2, to be able to create a minimum radius for the cul-de-sac, is supportable. d)Citizen/Customer Implications: In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to the permit. - 3 - CONCLUSION: The proposed variance to reduce lot width for proposed lot 1 and 2 to be able to create a minimum radius for the cul-de-sac, is supportable, therefore it is recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2017-323-DVP. “Original signed by Therese Melser” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Therese Melser Planning Technician “Original signed by Christine Carter” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Subject Map Appendix B – Ortho Map Appendix C – Variance request DATE: Jul 27, 2017 2017-323-VP 23055 117 Avenue PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY ´ Scale: 1:2,500 BY: JV Legend Stream Indefinite Creek River Major Rivers & Lakes CLIFF AVE. 117 AVE.

The site is located within the Albion 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. Final reading for rezoning application 2016-008-RZ was granted on September 19, 2017. It is recommended that Intensive Residential Development Permit 2016-347-DP be approved. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2016-347-DP respecting property located at 24021 110 Avenue.

The subsequent multi-family development permit has been granted on September 19, 2017, together with final reading on the rezoning file. 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 single-family homes have been designed to have 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, and 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. All lots will be accessed off of a new constructed lane, also accessing the new townhouse site on the east side of the property. Proposed Lots 1 and 2 have parking pads in accordance with the corner visibility criteria, and driveway criteria in the Zoning Bylaw. d)Requested Variance A Development Variance Permit accompanies this Intensive Residential Development Permit to: 1.Increase the maximum height for retaining walls, from 1.2m to 1.8m (5.9ft) The requested variance is the subject of a separate report to Council under application 2016-008- DVP. This DVP will also address setback and height variances related to the townhouse portion of the development. - 3 - CONCLUSION: This proposal conforms to the Official Community Plan for 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 2016–347-DP respecting the property located at 24021 110 Avenue. “Original signed by Therese Melser” _______________________________________________ Prepared by: Therese Melser “Original signed by Christine Carter” _____________________________________________ Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning “Original signed by Frank Quinn” _______________________________________________ Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services “Original signed by Paul Gill” _______________________________________________ Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer The following appendices are attached hereto: Appendix A – Ortho photo Appendix B – Subdivision Plan Appendix C – elevation plans lot 1-8, Rusbourne Design FILE: 2016-347-DP DATE: Oct 17, 2017 24021 110 AVENUE City of PittMeadows District of Langley District of MissionFRASER R . ^ PLANNING DEPARTMENT SUBJECT PROPERTY Aerial Imagery from the Spring of 2016´ Scale: 1:2,500 BY: PC APPENDIX A APPENDIX B APPENDIX C >Kdϰ Page 1 of 1 City of Maple Ridge TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: October 24, 2017 and Members of Council FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council SUBJECT: Sign Control Bylaw No. 7008-2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This report is to provide Council with an update on the progress of adopting a new sign bylaw. RECOMMENDATION(S): That the three reading given to Sign Control Bylaw No. 7008-2013 be rescinded. DISCUSSION: In 2013, staff prepared a draft sign bylaw to replace the old sign bylaw which had been adopted in 1992. Several public engagements were held which included businesses, developers and the Business Improvement Association. After the consultations were evaluated a revised draft was presented to Council in 2014. This proposed new bylaw was given three readings. The fourth reading was not given as it would have occurred subsequent to the 2014 municipal elections and it was decided that the new Council should have greater input into this new bylaw. As some time as elapsed since the proposed bylaw was given three readings, and there have been changes in regulations and types of signs, it is proposed that the process should be restarted and a new bylaw be presented to Council. After Council has given the new bylaw first reading, staff can then schedule consultations to receive input from interested parties and prepare a comprehensive report for Council. Some of the changes will include updating the definition section of the bylaw so that there is a clear understanding of the different types of signs such as “freestanding”, “fascia” “third party”, “construction sign” etc. CONCLUSIONS: A new sign bylaw is needed to address the various issues regarding signs and to bring the bylaw into alignment with current regulations. This process will include input from the various stakeholders such as developers, businesses and other interested parties. “Original signed by R.

Signs play a major role for businesses and other community activities for advertising purposes and to assist the public in locating their operations. There are times when additional temporary signage is necessary to draw attention to specific sales, a new business location or other similar short term changes in operation. The proposed new Bylaw is intended to improve and simplify the issuance of sign permits, provide more clarity and simplify the bylaw for use and provides a document that better addresses the changes in technology and the changes to how businesses operate. The bylaw has also been revised to provide the correct authorities necessary for enforcement. RECOMMENDATION(S): 1.That Maple Ridge Sign Bylaw No. 7389-2017 be given first reading. 2.That Council support the public process as outlined in this report. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: The purpose of municipal sign bylaws include; •Enabling local businesses, institutions, and community organizations to clearly identify themselves and the products or services available •Enhancing the appearance and visual character of the community through appropriate signage; and •Ensuring the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists by ensuring that signs are properly located, minimize distraction, and do not interfere with traffic control devices Previously a number of public information sessions were held with the local business and industry communities to provide input on suggested changes to the current bylaw. After these sessions and with input from staff a bylaw was drafted and presented to Council for consideration. Due to the lapse in time from the previous bylaw, the changes in sign technology and the changes in business practices for the local business it was felt to be appropriate to renew the bylaw in light of these changes. The proposed bylaw attached to this report is believed to be more in harmony with 1112 Page 2 of 3 local business interests and provides the current Council the opportunity to have input into this Bylaw. A primary focus is to make a Bylaw more user friendly, easier to read and to interpret. The proposed Bylaw corrects a number of significant problems in the current Bylaw with some of these corrections identified below: 1. Significant improvements and additions to the Definition section of the Bylaw to provide clarity. 2. Identify and separate those sign types that either wholly or partially encroach onto municipal property, whether they are on the roadway, sidewalk, boulevard, or overhang any of these areas. Liability issues must be dealt with for these encroachments by way or third party liability insurance to protect the City against potential liability claims. 3. Provide an alternative to sandwich board signs where businesses have an awning or a canopy. 4. Sandwich Board and/or Pedestal Signs now have specific requirements for placement, size and liability insurance. These types of signs, where permitted, will need to be incorporated into the streetscape in a safe manner. 5. Where applications are made for sign types that are not addressed in the Sign Bylaw the applicant has the option of using the Development Permit process. The appropriate changes have been made to the Bylaw to clarify this process. 6. Revised regulations have been set out for Election Signs. More specifically the size, placement and number of these signs. 7. Regulations for the placement of private and public sector information signs on public rights of ways for specific short periods of time addressing a number of issues. 8. Reduce and simplify how the size and copy area of signs are calculated. The work completed on the proposed new Sign Bylaw creates an integrated sign permit system that involves Permits & Inspection Services, Licenses & Bylaws Services, along with the Clerks, Engineering and Planning Departments. The proposed Bylaw provides for more clarity in the application process, clearly differentiates between signs on private and public property and sets out the process for applying for each type of sign where applicable. Additional amendments provided for in this bylaw are changes to the definitions that have been made to clarify terms and to reflect current staff titles. In addition, for clarification purposes, the Bylaw has been reorganized to separate the types of signs that require a permit and while still identifying regulations regarding the installation and/or design of signs that do not require permits. b) Next Steps: For public engagement the proposed bylaw will be presented to; • The Public in Information Meetings • Meetings with BIA • Meet with Chamber of Commerce • Online survey • Open House • UDI/GVHBA Liaison Committee Page 3 of 3 These meetings will be held over the coming months with the result of these meetings being presented to Council in 2018. c) Desired Outcome(s): That Council supports Sign Bylaw 7389-2017 by referring it for further public consultation. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: A bylaw that is clear and understandable to all users. To that end the Public Engagement process will involve holding directed meetings with industry and local business groups to obtain their input and suggestions on the proposed changes. We will also hold public information sessions with the community at large to help provide a community direction on signs within the City. e) Interdepartmental Implications The work completed on the proposed new Sign Bylaw creates an integrated sign permit system that involves Permits & Inspection Services, Licenses & Bylaws Services, along with the Clerks, Engineering and Planning Departments. f) Alternatives Council could decide that the previous consultation was sufficient and advance the adoption of the bylaw on that basis. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed bylaw before you builds upon the previous draft bylaw and provides additional revisions based on interaction with the current bylaw and applicants. “Original signed by Stephen J.

In recognition of the fact that 2018 is the last year of Council’s current mandate and has heard from all the departments a number of times, staff is suggesting a slight modification to the process for this year. Council adopted the 2018-2022 Business & Financial Planning guidelines, attached as Appendix “1”, in July that included funding for a number of Parks & Recreation projects. Staff is asking that Council direct staff to bring forward a Financial Plan for consideration, reflecting those guidelines and subsequent discussions. Staff is further suggesting that departmental presentations to Council be scheduled as part of Council Workshop meetings. These have been incorporated into the proposed Council Work Schedule Matrix attached as Appendix “2” to this report. RECOMMENDATION(S): That staff be directed to bring forward the 2018-2022 Financial Plan for consideration; and further That the Council Work Schedule Matrix to March 2018 be endorsed. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: For the past number of years, the City’s Business Planning process has culminated with departmental presentations to Council over a number of days followed by consideration of the Financial Plan for the upcoming 5-year planning horizon. In recognition of the fact that 2018 is the last year of Council’s current mandate staff is suggesting a slightly different process be considered for the 2018-2022 Financial Plan. 1131 Page 2 of 3 The Business & Financial Planning Guidelines are the cornerstone of the Business Planning process. It is these guidelines that set the direction for property tax, recycling, sewer and water rates for the upcoming 5-year planning cycle. In May, the Audit & Finance Committee endorsed guidelines for 2018-2022. Following that meeting, Council approved a number of Parks & Recreation projects and the guidelines were amended in July to include an additional 0.35% tax increase for seven years, starting in 2018, as set out in the funding model for those projects. The amended guidelines are attached as Appendix “1”. At this time staff is seeking direction to bring forward a financial plan reflecting the discussions noted above. Since the business planning guidelines were endorsed, Council has had several conversations around the construction of an outdoor pool, most recently directing staff to proceed following the typical schedule process. In the coming weeks, staff will be bringing forward a report outlining that process and more complete costs. The Financial Plan can be amended once those details are known. The business planning format used in previous years has allowed Council 3 or 4 days to hear from all City departments about the work they do and any highlights planned for the upcoming year. Given where we are in the current mandate, Council has already heard from the departments at various times and there may be more value in having each department come to Council Workshop to talk about their work over the coming months. Staff has incorporated this into the work schedule matrix in addition to other key items Council is working on. The proposed Council Work Schedule Matrix, outlining work to the end of March is attached as Appendix “2”. The schedule will be refreshed early in the New Year to include the balance of 2018. b) Desired Outcome(s): To have the 2018-2022 Financial Plan Bylaw adopted before the end of 2017, and to have scheduled opportunities for Council to hear from all City departments in the coming months. c) Alternatives: Council could opt to follow the same process as prior years and receive departmental business plans over a period of 3 or 4 days in late November prior to considering the 2018-2022 Financial Plan Bylaw. Staff is recommending a new format, in recognition of the fact that 2018 is the last year of Council’s current mandate. Page 3 of 3 CONCLUSIONS: The Business Planning process used in the City has served us well over the years and one of the keys to that has been its adaptability to change. Staff is recommending that for 2018 we separate the departmental presentations to Council from the Financial Plan presentation. Doing so would allow Council to consider the Financial Plan at upcoming meetings and to hear from the departments over the coming months as part of the regularly scheduled Council Workshop agendas. “Original signed by Catherine Nolan” Prepared by: Catherine Nolan, CPA, CGA Interim Director of Finance “Original signed by Kelly Swift” Approved by: Kelly Swift GM, Parks, Recreation & Culture “Original signed by Frank Quinn” Approved by: Frank Quinn GM, Public Works & Development “Original signed by Paul Gill” Concurrence: Paul Gill, CPA, CGA Chief Administrative Officer Appendix “1” *The proposed property tax increase for Parks & Recreation includes a 0.35% increase for the following, as approved at the July 25, 2017 Council meeting:  Leisure Centre Renovations  Telosky Field  Albion Community Centre  Silver Valley Gathering Place  Hammond Community Centre  Ridge Canoe & Kayak Club  MRSS Track Facility Upgrade  Additional Ice Sheet Work in still in progress regarding the outdoor pool and the Financial Plan can be amended once the details are known.
