Deep RBots Greater Holghts TO: FROM: SUBJECT: District of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer DATE: March 9, 2010 FILE NO: ATTN: C of W First Reading - Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Targets Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw 6726-2010 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the February 15th Council workshop, Council endorsed the public process for a bylaw amendment that will incorporate greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets into the Official Community Plan. This amendment is a requirement through Bill 27, the Local Government (Green Communities) Status Amendment Act and the provincial deadline for completion is May 31, 2010. During the workshop, Council also considered and endorsed that the proposed emissions reduction targets of 34% reduction in per capita emissions from the 2007 baseline by 2020, and 50% reduction by 2030 be presented for public comment. A public open house was held on March 4th and the written comments received encouraged greater efforts towards community greenhouse gas emissions reduction and those that spoke specifically to the proposed emissions targets endorsed exceeding the proposed targets and/or adopting the Provincial targets. I This report, based on public discussion and further review of the proposed greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets, is recommending that the District adopt the Provincial targets of 33% below 2007 levels by 2020 and 80% by 2050. The report also recommends exploring the development of a community energy and emissions plan, after which the targets could be amended accordingly. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6726-2010 be given First Reading and forwarded to Public Hearing; 2. That in accordance with S. 879 of the Local Government Act opportunity for early and ongoing consultation has been provided by way of holding advertised public meetings, posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6726-2010 and related material on the municipal website and it is considered_ unnecessary to provide any further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw; 3. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6726-2010, be considered in conjunction with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan; and 4. That it be confirmed that Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6726- 2010 is consistent with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan. Page 1 of 6 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: As stated in the Council report at the February 15th workshop, fulfilling the requirements of Bill 27, the Local Government (Green Communities) Statutes Afnendment Act must be completed by May 31, 2010. The requirements involve establishing community -wide targets for the Official Community Plan and defining the policies and actions that will be used to achieve the targets. The Province has established a greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 33% below 2007 levels by 2020 and 80% below 2007 levels by 2050. This communicates the desired level of performance towards emissions reduction for the entire province. While some communities have also chosen to adopt these targets as their own, other municipalities have chosen their own targets. Each municipality has the flexibility to decide the level of greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets to adopt, as long as the targets are measurable. Maple Ridge is a growing community that would expect to see an increase in total community emissions, measured on an aggregate basis, at current rates of energy consumption. Based on current population projections, this would lead to a 27% increase in aggregate greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and a 50% increase by 2031. The District of Maple Ridge has been taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at a corporate level and the Official Community Plan contains numerous policies in support of emissions reduction at both a corporate and community level. Additionally, emissions reductions are expected to occur due to improvements in technology and as human behaviour towards energy conservation evolves. At this time, many other municipalities in BC are working on identifying their emissions reductions targets and adopting them into their Official Community Plans prior to the May 318t deadline. Although reducing aggregate greenhouse gas emissions may ` be a challenge for growing communities such as Maple Ridge, at the time of writing, we understand that several municipalities are in the process of adopting the Provincial targets. Both Metro Vancouver and the Capital Regional District also intend to adopt the Provincial targets. b) Public Consultation: The proposed aggregate targets presented to Council on February 15th and subsequently at the March 4th public open house were 16% emissions reduction below 2007 levels by 2020 and 25% emissions reduction by 2031. Measured on a per capita basis these targets would aim to reduce per capita emissions from 5.3 tonnes of CO2e (measured in 2007) to 3.5 tonnes of CO2e per person by 2020 (a 34% reduction) and 2.6 tonnes of CO2e by 2031 (a 50% reduction). A total of nine people attended the event and due to the low numbers, staff had an opportunity to go through the information presented on the poster boards with each attendee. Notification of Open House The open house was advertised through the following methods: • Email to members of all Council committees; • Email to a wide range of stakeholders that included the Business Improvement Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the School Board (senior staff and Page 2 of 6 Trustees), stewardship groups, local MLA, community groups, and Katzie First Nation; • Posting on Maple Ridge website; • Posters at main entrances to the municipal hall; and • Two newspaper ads (February 17th and 26th). Public Comments Received The comments from attendees varied in terms of specific areas of interest, with all attendees supportive of energy conservation in general. To date, four members of the public have provided their comments on greenhouse gas emissions reduction for Maple Ridge. Three of these written responses addressed the proposed Maple Ridge targets specifically and stated a desire to see the municipality exceeding these targets and two recommended aiming for the aggregate targets proposed by the Province. One of the responses recommended .that the District undertake a community energy and emissions plan and described the rationale as follows: The plan has the potential to reduce costs as well as emissions. Cost reductions can be achieved at both the individual taxpayer level and the corporate level, but rely on the District's corporate and planning decisions. The case is similar for emission reductions, too. Some municipalities have opted for such a plan, which involves coming up with a realistic target based on energy and emissions research and projections specific to that community. A further comment within this written response is the preparation of guidelines for acceptable carbon footprints. The rationale is stated as follows: Population growth is the underlying assumption of our 0CP. The OCP addresses growth management. As part of this management, the component related to the control of increases in total GHG emissions is not adequately addressed in the provisions of our OCP if total output is to be controlled and reduced over time. To create a level playing field for new development, guidelines for acceptable carbon footprints for new developments should be established and phased in. Evaluation is the first step of this process. The following comments were also made as recommendations towards reducing community greenhouse gas emissions: Personally, I would like to see my city commit to the strongest possible GHG reduction targets. Looking at the CO2 emissions for 2007 in Maple Ridge, our vehicles cause 57.4% of total emissions. It would seem to make sense to focus much of our efforts to reduce emissions in the transportation sector. As long as the main focus is still facilitating and prioritizing car traffic, education and encouragement to choose alternative transportation is going to keep having- minimal impact —The car will have to be given less priority in our community, and alternative modes more, in different ways..." Page 3 of 6 Apart from transportation, a good part of our emissions are from buildings, mostly from heating. Maple Ridge should be pushing developers to use District Energy Systems, wherever possible. Building mechanical systems should be low carbon emissions systems, wherever possible. Brainstorm further ideas where Maple Ridge could "produce" GHG offsets. Maple Ridge to build a community and biogas plant that uses compostable materials to generate electricity. If the District needs to buy GHG `offsets" in the future, they should be sourced from within'the District. The full written public comments are available for viewing at the customer service counter. c) Local Government Act Requirements: Council gave consideration to S. 879 Local Government Act in the report (dated February 5th) that went to the February 15th workshop. Due to the nature of the proposed amendment, wherein it does not have any impact on existing land -use or transportation policies, it was deemed that a referral would be made only to the School Board. The draft amendments have been forwarded to the School Board and a formal referral will be sent to the School District after first reading. d) Interdepartmental Implications: The proposed amendment to the Official Community Plan to incorporate greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets will have an impact on almost every municipal department in Maple Ridge, as every area continues to reduce energy consumption wherever possible. Specifically, departments such as Planning, Engineering, Building, and Leisure & Parks continue to support existing municipal policies in favour of energy efficiency. The reporting out on annual monitoring will be undertaken by the Manager of Sustainability and Corporate Planning. e) Policy Implications: Policies and Actions The targets recommended in this report are supported by a significant number of existing policies within the Official Community Plan. In addition, Council's 2007 Sustainability Action Plan suggests developing a community energy plan, and this action was supported by the comments received from the public. Therefore, a new policy to be included with the municipal targets is proposed that the District explore the possibility of undertaking a community energy and emissions plan. This plan could provide an analysis -based approach to target -setting, at which point the targets adopted into the Official Community Plan could be amended accordingly. Page 4 of 6 The attached Official Community Plan amendment bylaw contains a proposed new policy to support the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets as follows (see Appendix #1): The District of Maple Ridge will explore undertaking a Community Energy and Emissions Plan that will help the municipality identify indicators to help track community energy emissions and to also provide recommendations on opportunities for reducing community emissions and achieving reduction targets. Additionally, the municipality has already undertaken a number of initiatives that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Maple Ridge. These initiatives include: • An anticipated reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by up to 67% annually for the new Fire Hall in 2011; • A energy retrofit of the Leisure Centre that is expected to result in an annual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 54% in 2010; • A program to replace municipal vehicles upon their retirement with hybrid vehicles; and • A goal to plant 300,000 trees on conservation lands under the District's control over the next five to ten years, in partnership with the Community Ecosystem Restoration Initiative. f) Financial Implications: A community energy and emissions plan could cost in the range of $25,000 to $70,000, depending on the scope. It is possible that funding for this may be incorporated into the Province's Climate Change Plan and likely that those municipalities demonstrating a strong commitment towards emissions reduction will be preferred funding candidates. Reducing municipal emissions may require up -front spending on the municipality's part, but should be offset over time by energy cost savings. Project proposals would be assessed on an individual basis to ensure best value. An outcome of a community energy and emissions plan could lead to an update of the emissions reduction targets that are proposed for adoption into the Official Community Plan in May 2010. g) Alternative: The recommendation in this report is for Council to adopt the Provincial targets, in consideration of the public responses to date and also in an effort to ensure Maple Ridge is not out of alignment with the trend of other municipal and regional governments adopting the Provincial targets. However, Council may choose to consider selecting the lower target that they endorsed at the February 15th Council Workshop. An alternative recommendation reflecting a lower level target would be: 1. That Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 6726-2010 be amended to reflect the greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets proposed in the February 5th Council report (34/50 Model), be given First Reading and forwarded to Public Hearing. Page 5 of 6 CONCLUSIONS: It was acknowledged in the February 5th report to Council that the timeline for the public process was tight, but it was recommended to proceed in order to meet the Provincial deadline for adopting greenhouse gas emissions targets by May 31, 2010. If any funding grants become available from the Province to implement municipal greenhouse gas emissions reductions initiatives, such as for the development of a community energy and emissions plan, meeting this deadline could become a factor. -(A �;� Prepared by Zosiak, Planner Prepared by: I_ enson Manager orf,Su �ainability & Corporate Planning Frank Quinn, MBA, P.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Dennis Tjernagel Owner: Dennis Tjernagel, Katherine Tjernagel Legal Description: Lot: 45, Section: 22, Township: 12, Plan: 43885 OCP: Existing: Estate Suburban Residential Proposed: Estate Suburban Residential Zoning: Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Proposed: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Estate Suburban Residential South: Use: Agricultural Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Agricultural East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Estate Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential Site Area: 0.811 HA (2 acres) Access: 12411, Avenue Servicing: Suburban residential standard with sanitary sewer Companion Applications: SD/VP/027/09 b) Project Description: The subject property is 0.811ha in size and is bound by single family residential properties to the north, east, and west and 124th Avenue to the south. Agricultural Land Reserve properties are located to the south of the subject property, across 124th Avenue. There is an existing home on the western portion of the property, which the applicant is proposing to retain. c) Planning Analysis: An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to permit subdivision into two single family residential lots. Official Community Plan: The proposed rezoning to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) is in accordance with the subject property's designation as "Estate Suburban Residential" in the Official Community Plan. An Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report has been prepared, as per the requirements of Section 6.2.2 of the Official Community Plan. -2- Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment The Agricultural/Ground Water Impact Assessment Report, prepared by Letts Environmental Consultants Ltd., and dated January 29, 2010 concludes the following: • The proposed development's direct footprint will not result in permanent loss of land from agricultural production; • No severance or isolation effects will result in any land within the ALR or in agricultural production or added operational challenges to farmers. However, future changes in operational practices within the ALR lands to the south of the proposed development are unknown and may occur, these may result in opposition from urban neighbours and could be viewed as a nuisance. Therefore, it is recommended that a disclosure be prepared, and provided to all homebuyers or prospective homebuyers of parcels within the proposed development, regarding possible negative impacts of agricultural activities; • The greatest potential impacts on agriculture from the proposed development are indirect impacts on drainage. However, the potential impacts on drainage can be easily mitigated through careful planning and design and the use of best management practices; • The proposed development will not require existing fences along 1240 Avenue to be removed or realigned. Fences damaged or removed should be reinstalled as outlined herein. There will be no trespass onto agricultural lands; • The proposed development will not have negative implications for travel between farm parcels; • The surrounding quality and quantity of surface and sub -water will not be negatively affected by the proposed development; and • Every effort should be made to ensure that existing direction of flows through ditches including roadside ditches be maintained and that water in ditches, that may be used as source irrigation water, not be altered. No diversion of existing drainage ways is required or recommended. Zoning Bylaw: The RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zone requires a minimum lot area of 4,OOOm2; a minimum lot width of 36m and a minimum lot depth of 60m. The 2 proposed single family lots comply with the above requirements of the Zoning Bylaw as follows; • area of each lot is proposed to be 0.405ha; • the lot widths are proposed to be 41.9m; and • lot depths are proposed to be 96.6m in. Engineering Department: The Engineering Department reviewed the servicing for the rezoning and subdivision and provided their comments to the applicant. The development will be serviced with sewer and water in 11eM accordance with the provisions of the Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800-1993 as amended. Parks & Leisure Services Department: The Parks and Leisure Services Department has identified an equestrian trail along 124 Avenue and are prepared to support the concept for the placement of the equestrian trail (along 124th Ave.) subject to the details in the servicing plans providing continuous surface that is acceptable for equestrian use by our trail partners the "Haney Horsemen". The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be an additional 2 trees which is based on one tree per lot; final subdivision design will provide exact numbers. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that the maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree will increase their budget requirements by $50.00. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that first reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6720 - 2010 and that application RZ/027/09 be forwarded to Public Hearing.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses North: South: East: West: Use: Zone: Designation Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Zone: Designation: Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing: Companion Applications: b) Project Description: Wilson Chang, MAIBC Balhar S Basi Lot: 2, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 7450 Lot: 1, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 86322 Lot: 2, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 86322 Lot: B, Section: 20, Township: 12, Plan: 22808 Low Rise Apartment Low Rise Apartment RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Apartment RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) Low -Rise Apartment District Fire Hall P-6 (Civic Institutional) Institutional Single family residential RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Low -Rise Apartment Single family residential RS-1(One Family Urban Residential) Medium and High -Rise Apartment Single family residential Low rise apartment 0.388 HA Proposed rear lane access Full Urban DP/086/08 The current application proposes to rezone the properties from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) to permit the construction of a four storey apartment building containing 81 units with a floor area ratio of 1.46. The apartments are a mix of one and two -bedroom units, ranging in size from 50.31m2 (542ft2) to 88.26m2 (950ft2). The building is a four storey wood frame apartment structure over a one storey concrete basement parking level. An access ramp to the underground resident parking is to be provided via the proposed rear -lane. Seventeen visitor surface parking spaces are proposed to be located at the rear of the building, adjacent to the lane. -2- c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The proposed rezoning to RM-2 (Medium Density Apartment Residential) is in accordance with the subject properties designation as "Low -Rise Apartment' in the Town Centre Area Plan. The Low -Rise Apartment designation is intended for development in a three to five storey apartment form where units are accessed from an internal corridor and residential parking is provided underground. The current 4-storey development proposal complies with the above criteria. Both 2270 Street and Brown Avenue are identified in the Town Centre Area Plan, Figure 1 - Multi - modal Transportation network, as part of the Connective Pedestrian Network. This network is intended to provide pedestrian -friendly linkages outside of the Civic Core and should be designed to enhance the pedestrian experience with separated sidewalks on both sides of the street, street trees and the potential for wayfinding signage. Additionally, both 227th Street and Brown Avenue are part of the Bicycle Network. The Bicycle Network may have dedicated bicycle lanes, where feasible, or shared arrow markings in street travel lanes to clearly identify bicycle routes to motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians. The Engineering Department will be reviewing these guidelines with the proponent at the time civil drawings are finalized. Zoning Bylaw: A preliminary review of the plans has revealed that the proposal complies with the requirements of Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985. Off -Street Parking and Loadin B aw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although the application proposes a variance to reduce the total number of required parking stalls from 138 to 130. The applicant proposes to provide residents with 113 parking stalls and visitors with 17 parking stalls; resulting in a total of 130 parking stalls provided for the development. The Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requires 122 resident parking stalls and 17 visitor parking stalls, resulting in a shortfall of 9 resident parking stalls. In accordance with Section 3.4 of the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, the applicant has opted to pay to the District of Maple Ridge a total of $72,000 in lieu of 9 parking stalls. An up to date parking study is required to support the proposed reduction. Development Permits: As per Section 8.11 of the Official Community Plan, a Town Centre Development Permit is required for all new multi family residential development in the town centre. The development proposal is located within the North View Precinct of the Town 'Centre Area Plan. Accordingly, prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Development Permit must be reviewed and approved. An application for the Development Permit has been received and will be the subject of a future Council report. -3- Advisory Design Panel: The application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on February 9, 2010, at which time the Panel supported the application moving forward to Council, with the following resolution; • Consider more contemporary material palette consistent with the architecture • Consider the issue of the visitor parking stalls in conflict with the adjacent units • Consider relocation of the amenity room to be on the main floor and have direct access to the open courtyard • Consider securing the open courtyard for the safety of the building • Resolve the design of the main entry to the building and incorporate a significant canopy and coordinate with the landscape design • Consider increasing the depth of the balconies to improve functionality • Define a visitor access route from the surface parking to the building entry point • Consider introduction of additional screens to the other elevations • Consider simplifying the vertical glazing at the main entry • Consider altering the parapet heights -to create a more varied roof line • Incorporate a barrier free washroom within the amenity room The applicant will address the above recommendations and a more detailed report will be forwarded to Council at the Development Permit stage. Development Information Meetin A Development Information Meeting was held by the project architect on Tuesday March 2, 2010 at Harry Hooge Elementary. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed out to qualifying property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the development sign on site. Four (4) people signed in on the attendance sheet and one (1) comment sheet was completed. The Development Information Meeting summary provided by the applicant is attached at Appendix G. Additional concerns expressed are included below along with the applicant's response (in italics); Noise and safety issues are a concern if the proposed back lane continues through to the lane on the neighbouring property to the north. People may use this lane as a short cut; The lane does not necessarily need to go through to eliminate this concern. Or other steps could be taken to reduce these concerns, such as speed bumps or only permitted access allowed. The proposed entrance to the underground parking is very close to the neighbouring property. This may result in noise and pollution becoming a nuisance; -4- There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and pollution. In addition there will be a trellis over the ramp entrance to provide the best possible screening. The proposed building will block views for the neighbouring property to the north; The proposed building will also block the noise from the fire hall. Building construction will be noisy for the neighbouring residents. Construction will follow all City guidelines for safety and hours of operation. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has identified that all of the services required in support of the rezoning do not exist to the site. It will, therefore, be necessary for the applicant to enter into a Rezoning Development Agreement and post the required security to complete the necessary works prior to final reading. The Engineering Department has provided the following comments; 1. The applicant is responsible for the construction of the rear lane. 2. The four existing driveways letdowns on 227 Street must be removed and replaced with new concrete curb and gutter and sidewalk. 3. The developer's consultant must examine the existing sanitary sewer to determine its adequacy to serve the new development. Parks & Leisure Services De rtment: The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be additional trees added to the street tree inventory. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that there is maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree which will affect their operating budget. Fire Department: The Fire Department has no concerns with the current application. -5- CONCLUSION: The current application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. It is, therefore, recommended that First Reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw 6712-2010 and it be forwarded to Public Hearing. Prepared by.

The meeting was attended by a group of approximately 6 people of which 4 signed in the attached attendance list. Wilson Chang from Wilson Chang Architect opened the meeting welcoming the attendees. Wilson encouraged the people to sign in the provided attendance list and fill out the provided comments sheets. Mr. Chang continued with a presentation of the proposed development including project analysis, neighbourhood context, and site planning and building design. After the presentation the attendees were encouraged to express their comments and concerns on the proposed development. The reception of the development in general was very positive. Please see below a summary of the only concerns from the attendants. Summary of the comments and concerns: 1. If the proposed new back lane continues through to the lane on the neighbouring property north of the development, people could use this lane as a shortcut. Noise and safety issues are a concern. Wilsons Respond: The Lane does not necessary need to go through to eliminate that concern. Or other steps could be taken to reduce these concerns, like speed bumps and only permitted access. 2. Planned entrance to the underground parking is very close to the next door property (north). Noise and Pollution could come to adjacent units. Wilson Respond: There will be planting and fencing between the two properties to screen noise and pollution. In addition there will be Trellis over the romp entrance to provide the best possible screening. 3. Building will block the view to the south for the neighbouring property on the north. Wilson Respond: It will also block the sound of the fire hall. 4. Building construction will be noisy to the neighbouring properties. Wilson Respond: Construction will follow all city guidelines for safety and hours of operation. Sincerely, Wilson Chang Page U 1 I Development Information Mating summary Willem Chang Architect Inc.

Wayne Bissky Owner: Jalal M Band Legal Description: Lot: 37, D.L: 401, Ran: 62308 OCP1 F)dsting: Ground -Oriented Multi -Family (TC area plan) Proposed: Ground-Criented Multi -Family (TC area plan) Zoning: Bdsting: F&1 (Cne Family Urban Residential) Proposed: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Community Hall Zone: CD-2-88 and CD-3-93 Designation: Ground -Oriented Multi -Family South: Use: Haney Bypass, Canadian Pacific Rail and the Fraser River Zone: R&3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: The property to the south of the Haney Bypass is designated Park East: Use: Townhouse Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Designation: Ground-Criented Multi -Family West: Use: Townhouse Zone: PM-1 (Townhouse Residential) Designation: Ground -Oriented Multi -Family asting.Use of Property. Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property. Townhouse Residential Site Area: 0.203 HA Access: 116 Avenue Servicing: Full Urban Companion Applications: DP( 095/ 08 b) Project Description: The subject property extends 0.203 hectares and is bound by multi family development to the east and west, Haney Bypass to the south and a community hall to the north. -2- The site slopes gently from the northwest corner to the southeast corner and is almost 6 metres higher in elevation than the adjacent Haney Bypass. The project architect has taken these grade changes into consideration, and has proposed a building designed for residents to take advantage of the views overlooking the Fraser Rver. The proposed development is intended to be accessed via 116th Avenue, through the adjacent townhouse development to the west of the subject property. A reciprocal access agreement is in place providing the subject site with legal access through the adjacent property. This agreement was entered into in 1981 by the previous owner of the properties. CLrrent owners of the neighbouring lot, encumbered with the easement, have expressed concern with the access arrangement. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The application property is located within the Town Centre Area Plan, and is subject to the regulations of such as outlined in the Official Community Ran. The Area Plan designates the property Ground -Oriented Multi -Family, which provides for a medium -high density townhouse development not to exceed three storeys in height. The proposed rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) is, therefore, in compliance with the regulations of the Official Community Ran. Zoning Bylaw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, however, a variance is required to increase the allowable height from 10.5 metres to 11 metres. This variance will be the subject of a future report to Council. Off -Street Parking and Loading_ The parking provision for the current application exceeds the requirements of the Off -Street Parking and Loading Bylaw, which requires 12 resident parking stalls and 2 visitor parking stalls. The application proposes to provide 14 resident parking stalls and 2 visitor parking stalls. Deveippnent Information Sias As per Council Policy 6.21 all Rezoning development applications require a development sign to be placed on the subject property, indicating the intent of the proposal and the properties involved. The sign must remain on the site until the development application is approved or denied. The current applicant has placed the development information sign on the subject property a number of times. However, each time the sign is placed someone either defaces or removes it from the site. In past instances where this has occurred the District has accepted photographic proof that the sign has been placed. The applicant has provided photographs showing the placement of the sign on the property. -3- Develorent Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.11 of the Official Community Ran, a Town Centre Development Permit application is required for all multi -family residential, flexible mixed use and commercial development located in the Town Centre. The current application is located within the South View Precinct Town Centre Development Permit Area, and is subject to the regulations of such as outlined in Official Community Ran. Accordingly, prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Development Permit must be reviewed and approved. An application for the Development Permit has been received. Adherence of this project to the guidelines of this permit will be provided for Council in a future report. AdvisW De_sW Panel: The application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on January 12, 2010 at which time the Panel supported the application moving forward with a small number of recommendations. The applicant has addressed the recommendations raised by the Advisory Design Panel, and a more detailed report will be forwarded to Council at the Development Permit stage. Development Information Meetinn: A development information meeting was held by the project architect and landscape architect on Tuesday, February 8, 2010 at Fraserview Village Hall. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to qualifying property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the development sign on site. Twenty-four (24) people signed in on the attendance sheet. Comments included the following; • Concerns were expressed about the reciprocal access easement on the adjacent property to the west. • Concerns were expressed about the potential impact of construction trucks accessing the site along the easement and causing damage to the road surface. Residents asked who would pay for the damage and the applicant assured them damage would be paid for by those causing the damage. • Concerns were expressed about the density and height of the proposed development. • There were concerns about the stability of the soil on the application site. The architect noted that a geotechnical study had been done. • Questions were asked about the number of parking stalls provided and where they would be located onsite. • Concerns were expressed that this would become a rental development. Some attendees asked whether it was the applicant's intention to sell or rent the units. It was felt that young families would not be compatible with the existing neighbours. The architect noted that there was no provision for a playarea and it is not likelyto attract families. The architect understood that the developer intended to sell the units and that there is no way to legally disallow buyers based on their age. • Some attendees expressed a desire to have the proposed development become part of the existing strata. -4- • Some of the attendees related conflicts with the tenants of the e)asting house. Citizen/ Customer Implications: A number of neighbouring residents have phoned with concerns regarding the reciprocal access agreement. The plans, reports and legal agreements are available to the public at the front counter and copies of the legal agreement were provided to some of the neighbours for their review. Interdepartmental Implications: Engineeft Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal and has provided the following comments: 1. ARezoning Servicing Agreement must be entered into by the applicant 2. The applicant must provide information on providing water service connection to the property. 3. The applicant will require approval from the Ministry of Transportation for any works along Haney Bypass. 4. The Ministry of Highways will likely require dedication across the Haney Bypass. 5. Consideration must be given to how best to advertise the site location and access location to the site. Parks & Leisure Services Department The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be additional trees added to the street tree inventory. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that there is maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree which will affect their operating budget. Fire Department: The Fire Department has provided the applicant with a number of comments that must be addressed before final occupancy. The current application is in compliance with the Official Community Ran and is considered an infill development of 6 units only. It is, therefore, recommended that first reading be given Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6721 2010 and it be forwarded to Public Hearing. I&T Prepared by.

The legal description is Lot 37, District Lot 401, Group 1, NWD, Plan 62308. The purpose of the application is to allow construction of a 6 unit townhouse development. d) This public information meeting was held on Monday, February 8, 2010 in the small hall of Fraserview Village Hall, 22538 - 116th Ave. , Maple Ridge, BC , from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. The presentation lasted until about 8:15pm , with most people leav- ing shortly thereafter. The architect stayed until 8:40 pm when all attendees had left. e) The architect gave a powerpoint presentation of the proposal and received comments from those in attendance. He also pro- vided drawings mounted on boards after the presentation. f) Attendees were also informed that information may be obtained from either the Planning Department service counter at or by calling General Enquiries (phone 604-467-7341) or the developer/applicant's representative at 604-467-8300. g) Attendees were encouraged to sign in , fill out comment cards and either leave them at the meeting or send them directly to the city hall. Approximately 25 people attended the meeting, most of whom signed the attendance record as per the attached attached. No completed comment sheets were left with the architect. h) Comments form the public included the following: 1. Concerns were expressed about the traffic along the access easement on the property to the west. Some discussion took place as to when the easement was placed on the property and what the easement was originally intended for; some felt it was only for a single family residential use, although others noted that this does not appear to be reflected in the wording of the easement. 2. The architect suggested the easement could be relocated along the common amenity area, and through the RV park- ing, rather than along the drive aisle fronting the existing units. Some people felt this would be difficult to achieve as the entire Fraserview Village owns the common amenity area and not just their individual strata. 3. There were concerns expressed about the potential impact of construction trucks accessing the site along the easement and causing damage to the surface and wondered who would pay to fix it. The architect shared his opinion that damage would be paid by the individuals responsible for it. 4. There were concerns expressed about density, and the height of the proposed building. 5. There were concerns about the stability of the soils. The architect t noted that a geotechnical study had been done an d a copy had been filed at the municipality. He noted that all new structures must meet current building and municipal re- quirements. 6. Questions were asked about the number of parking stalls provided and where they were located onsite. 7. Concerns were expressed that this would become a rental development. Some asked whether it was the developer's intention to sell or rent the units. Many noted that it would be preferred if they were sold to seniors who would occupy the units; young families would not be compatible to the adjacent neighbours. Some expressed preference that this site become part of the existing strata. The architect noted that there was no play area designed in the outdoor areas of the site and it is not likely to attract families. He understood that the developer intended to sell the units and also that it was not possible to legally disallow buyers based on their age. 8. Some attendees related conflicts with some of the tenants of the existing house on the site.

Project Description The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from RS- 2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to permit the construction of a 96 unit townhouse complex, comprised solely of three bedroom homes. The site is challenged with a sloping topography, requiring a significant amount of cut and fill throughout the site to accommodate the proposed development, including the proposed municipal right of ways. A number of units have been designed to provide parking on the ground floor level with walk out on the lower level; this is to account for the sloping nature of the site. Slopes in excess of 25% are, for the most part, located centrally and a 774m2 green space, amenity area has been provided to protect said slopes; as per the requirements of the Natural Features Development Permit. A total of 4700m2 open space, (rear yards) has been provided for the use of residents throughout the site. The applicant proposes to construct 103A Avenue and 241 Street to provide access to the internal strata road network. All townhouse units will access their driveways via the internal strata roads, however, pedestrian access is provided from each street fronting unit to municipal roads, to create a pedestrian feel along the street front. This will encourage a sense of place, as well as, a street presence for the community. The proposed development has also been designed to ensure pedestrian connectivity is maintained throughout the site, to encourage use of the amenity spaces and again create a street presence for the community; providing a safer and more livable space for residents. -3- c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The application property is located within the Albion Area Plan, and is subject to the regulations of such as outlined in the Official Community Plan. The Area Plan designates the property Medium Density Residential which allows for a range of housing styles and densities, including townhouses. The proposed rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) is, therefore, in compliance with the regulations of the Official Community Plan. Zoning Bylaw: A preliminary review of the plans in relation to the Zoning Bylaw requirements has revealed that the proposal generally complies with the bylaw, although a number of variances would be required for the townhouse development if this proposal is to proceed. The proposed variances are as follows: Development Site 1 • Block 3 will require a reduced front yard setback from 7.5 metres to 7.48 metres. • Block 9 will require a reduced front yard setback from 7.5 metres to 6 metres. Development Site 2 • Block 1 will require a reduced front yard and west side yard setback from 7.5 metres to 7.41 metres. • Block 3 will require a reduced front yard from 7.5 metres to 6 metres. • Blocks 11 and 12 will require a reduced rear yard setback from 7.5 metres to 5.9 metres. The variance provides the proposed development sufficient room to undulate the units and account for the challenging topography of the site. The variance will be the subject of a future report to Council. Off -Street Parking @nd Loading Bylaw: The parking provision for the current application meets the requirements of the Off -Street Parking Bylaw. All units are provided with two in -garage parking spaces; many of which are proposed to be tandem parking. The development will also provide 21 visitor parking stalls, which will include 3 stalls with the necessary requirements for accessible access. D velo ment Permits: The application site is adjacent to Spencer Creek and is challenged with isolated slopes greater than 25% grade. A Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit is, therefore, required for the preservation, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment of the watercourse areas and of the natural features on the site. A Security will be taken as a condition of -4- the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Development Permit area guidelines are met. Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan, a Multi -Family Development Permit application is required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses. Accordingly, prior to the issuance of a building permit, the Development Permit must be reviewed and approved. An application for the Development Permit has been received. Adherence of this project to the guidelines of this permit will be provided for Council in a future report. Advisory Design Panel: The application was presented to the Advisory Design Panel on January 12, 2010 at which time the Panel supported the application moving forward with a small number of recommendations. The applicant has addressed the recommendations raised by the Advisory Design Panel, and a more detailed report will be forwarded to Council at the Development Permit stage. Development Information Meeting: A development information meeting was held by the project architect and landscape architect on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at Albion Elementary School Library. As per Council Policy 6.20, invitations were mailed to qualifying property owners, advertisements were placed in the local paper and a notice was attached to the development sign on site. Eight (8) people signed in on the attendance sheet and four comment sheets. The Development Information Meeting summary provided by the applicant is attached as Appendix D. Additional concerns expressed were; • Concerns about the increased traffic at 240th Street and Lougheed Highway. • Concerns were raised about the increased density this development will bring to the area. There is a desire to maintain the rural character of the neighbourhood. • Concerns were raised about the effect of the development on adjacent lands. Two attendees were experiencing difficulty with adjacent developments affecting their properties. • Questions were asked about the number of parking stalls provided for the development and where they would be located onsite. • Frustrations were raised about the inability to impact decisions regarding the Official Community Plan and designated land uses in the area. • Questions were asked about where the children would go to school, stating that Albion School was full and the new school was not slated for construction in the near future. • One neighbour requested that the development sign, placed along 240th Street, be removed as it was placed in front of the home she was renting. d) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposal and has provided the following comments: -5- 1. A Rezoning Servicing Agreement must be entered into by the applicant 2. The applicant's engineer must examine the adequacy of the existing downstream sewer system to accommodate the proposed development. If any upgrading is identified by the engineer the applicant will be required to undertake the work. 3. The following road dedication will be required at the rezoning stage; a. Collector standard road widening and profile improvement on 104 Avenue, across the site frontage b. Road dedication of 3.0 metres is required across the 240th Street site frontage. c. Dedication of all on -site municipal roads. 4. A Development Variance Permit is required to support the retention of the above ground utility company plant along the south side of 104th Avenue, located directly across the site frontage. 5. The development of this site is dependant upon completion of services to be provided by the adjacent properties under applications RZ/093/04 and SD/075/07. Building Permits can not be issued until servicing is available to the application site. 6. The sewage disposal system for the adjacent property to the east (24156 104 Avenue), is located near the southwest corner of the lot. The applicant for the current proposal must ensure there is no problem related to the sewage disposal system arising from the current proposed development. Parks &Leisure Services Decartmen : The Parks & Leisure Services Department have identified that after the subdivision is completed they will be responsible for maintaining the street trees. In the case of this project it is estimated that there will be additional trees added to the street tree inventory. The Manager of Parks & Open Space has advised that there is maintenance requirement of $25.00 per new tree which will affect their operating budget. Fire De artme The Fire Department has no concerns with this development proposal and is supportive of the separated double access. CONCLUSION: The current application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan. It is, therefore, recommended that first reading be given Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw no. 6713-2009 and it be forwarded to Public Hearing.
