SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
12930 203 Street, 132 Avenue, 12960 203 Street, 20370 132 Avenue,
12987 210 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
exclude 22.66 hectares (56 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Applicant’s
submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land
Commission.
This site is part of the former Pelton’s Reforestation Farm, which included eight parcels, for a total
area of 80.5 hectares (202 acres). Only five of these parcels are under application, and the
exclusion application involves portions of each of them. The total area of these five subject
properties is approximately 68 hectares, and the exclusion request is for 22.66 hectares (56 acres).
The portion of the site proposed for exclusion is intended for a combination of business park
development, movie studios, and temporary accommodation for movie industry professionals.
In addition, this proposal includes a combination of utilization of agricultural uses and supportive
non-farm uses. The proposed agricultural uses include using existing greenhouses, and poultry
farming. The applicant proposes to donate 5 acres to the University of Fraser Valley as incubator
farms for new farmers. The supportive non-farm uses include space for the Haney Farmer’s Market,
storage and processing space for local farmers, an innovation centre in collaboration with the
University of Fraser Valley, restaurant providing local farm products, and technological support to
assist farmers with marketing their products. The proposal is further outlined in Appendix D.
Two additional applications are being pursued by the applicant. One of these is an inclusion
application for an equivalent amount of land in Pitt Meadows (22.66 hectares or 56 acres). This
land is currently used for blueberry production. The applicant has also applied for subdivision of
these lands along the boundary of the portion of the site that is proposed for exclusion. Further
discussion of these two applications will be provided later in this report.
RECOMMENDATION:
The following resolutions are provided for Council’s consideration:
a)That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b)That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

b) Project Description:
This proposal includes an exclusion application for business park development, including facilities
for the movie industry as well as supportive non-farm uses. The portion of the site proposed for
exclusion amounts to 22.66 hectares (56 acres). The remainder of the site will remain for
agricultural uses. The applicant also proposes to include a similar amount of agricultural land in Pitt
Meadows to offset the loss of agricultural land in Maple Ridge. The applicant has provided a
supporting document outlining the benefits of this application, which may be summarized as follows:
The proposal includes building a campus of facilities that can accommodate the Haney
Farmers Market, processing hub and university-led Food Innovation Center.
An estimated 925 permanent jobs will be created in the business park;
Three incubator farms (totaling 5 acres) will be donated to enable new farmers to learn and
gain experience with farming;
A donation of over $2 million in land, facilities and cash will be made to the University of
Fraser Valley so they can develop a BC Food Innovation Centre. This center will be accessible
by public transportation and will be adjacent to farms and marketing operations;
The proposed employment lands provide an opportunity for food manufacturing, with the
potential for supporting and strengthening existing small farms.
- 3 -
A more detailed description of the proposal is appended to this report as Appendix D.
For background, the previous owner of the property also advanced an application for exclusion
(Application AL/027/10) that included business park and supportive non-farm uses. The application
was forwarded by Council and subsequently denied by the Commission.
Although a great deal of the policy analysis that accompanied that report remains pertinent, a few
significant events have since occurred, including:
1. July 2011: Metro Vancouver adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy and the implications for
urban containment (the subject properties have been designated for agriculture in the
Regional Plan);
2. November 2011: ALC review of the Albion Flats Concept Plan and conditional support for
exclusion of specific properties; and
3. August 2014: Council endorsement of the Commercial and Industrial Strategy.
The implications for these works as they relate to this application will be explored further in this
report.
c) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining
legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for exclusion from the
Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring
applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
This process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council resolved
that the process for referring applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include
the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

Official Community Plan
The Official Community Plan, adopted by Council on November 14, 2006, contains statements and
policies that pertain to this application. Some of these could support the development of
employment lands on this property. However, some of these support the retention of agricultural
properties for agricultural purposes. The following outlines some of the relevant sections from the
Official Community Plan.
Section 6 - Employment
Section 6 of the Official Community Plan speaks directly to the issue of employment in the Official
Community Plan in that it recognizes the need to diversify the tax assessment and create more jobs
in Maple Ridge in order to become a more balanced community. Section 6.4.1 states:
To accommodate the long term demand for industrial lands, Maple Ridge needs to create an
additional industrial area or areas of about 80 to 120 hectares (200 to 300 acres).
One of the objectives that supports the above noted statement is:
To create a larger more diverse industrial sector that offers greater employment
opportunities for residents, generates additional investment, enhances local businesses and
creates a larger tax base to pay for municipal services and amenities.
Building further on that objective, Policy 6 – 45 states the following:
The identification of additional employment generating lands is a priority for the District.
Following the completion of an Agricultural Plan, and as a component of a comprehensive
review of the Urban Area Boundary Maple Ridge will evaluate alternate locations for a large
block or blocks of additional employment generating land to support the growth of the
employment sector in the future. Location parameters for suitable industrial land may
include, but is not limited to:
a) land that is relatively flat;
b) land that is conducive to industrial development;
c) land that is contiguous to a full range of municipal services;
d) land that is strategically located near the Regional transportation network.
The subject properties meet the location criteria as expressed in this policy. In addition, in the
background papers prepared for the Official Community Plan, this area was among those identified
for consideration of employment lands.
Locational criteria are stated in Policy 6-46 of the Official Community Plan as follows:
Maple Ridge will consider industrial development within the Urban Area Boundary providing
that the following compatibility criteria can be satisfied:
i) land is contiguous to a full range of municipal services;
ii) land is strategically located on, or near a Major Road Corridor and the transportation
network can support the development;
iii) the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area; and
iv) the use is consistent with the Economic Development Strategy.
- 5 -
Within the Employment Section of the Official Community Plan, there are also statements and
policies that emphasize the importance of Agriculture to the Maple Ridge Community. Section 6.2
states that the value of agriculture is consistently recognized and supported within the community.
Section 6.2 states
Agricultural land is a key component of the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy and
provides many benefits of local and Regional significance. As an economic generator it
contributes to a more complete community.
Policies 6-5 to 6-8 all speak to the promotion of agriculture. Specifically in the Economic
Development Strategy component of the Employment Section of the Official Community Plan, Policy
6-7 speaks to the promotion of sustainable agriculture.
Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan sets out conditions for protecting agricultural land, as
follows:
Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:
a) adopting a guiding principle of ”positive benefit to agriculture” when making land use
decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of
initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure
improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land
Reserve;
b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of
non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set
impacts on agricultural capability;
c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads,
topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced residential
densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land; …
Growth Management Policies
Section 2.1 of the Official Community Plan states that in Maple Ridge the majority of the growth in
population, jobs and housing will be accommodated within the Urban Area Boundary where services
are readily available or infrastructure is already in place. The subject lands under application are not
within the Urban Area Boundary and although close to the existing boundary they are not contiguous
with the existing urban boundary. The Official Community Plan emphasizes that adjustments to the
Urban Area Boundary, if required, must follow a specified process, as outlined in Policy 2-6 of the
Official Community Plan:
Maple Ridge supports and maintains the Urban Area Boundary recognizing the role that it
has on limiting urban expansion, preserving community character, reducing land speculation
within the Agricultural Land Reserve and protecting the agricultural land base, and in
providing for the efficient delivery of services. Adjustments to the Urban Area Boundary:
a) will only be supported if the District has an adopted Agricultural Plan;
b) will be considered in cooperation with the Agricultural Land Commission and Metro
Vancouver; and
c) will only be conducted during a Comprehensive Official Community Plan review, or
Council directed Comprehensive Urban Area Boundary review, and applications
considered outside of either review are considered premature.
It should be noted that subsequently the Urban Area Boundary was further reviewed and
reaffirmed by the City during the Regional Growth Strategy review.
- 6 -
AGRICULTURAL PLAN
The Agricultural Plan was adopted by Council on December 16, 2009. Its main focus was to
recommend the means by which the District could enhance its agricultural potential. The Plan
recognizes the need to re-emphasize the role of Agriculture in the ALR. The implementation of the
Plan is currently being undertaken by the Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee with key
initiatives being presented to Council for consideration at a future date. However the Agricultural
Plan recognizes that there may be situations in the future where exclusions may be required to meet
community needs. Goal 6 of the Plan discusses the issue of the conversion of agricultural land as
follows:
The primary goal with respect to larger established farming operations in Maple Ridge is to
plan for their retention as farms, rather than watch them languish and deteriorate, so that
the community can optimize the rewards and advantages of having agriculture in its midst.
Limited to highly specific situations, the secondary goal (if the primary goal is not feasible) is
to explore establishing a policy of compensation from development that enables funds to be
generated and expended so that the net agricultural capability of the District is enhanced by
investment elsewhere.
At present, there is not a program in place for compensatory measures to off-set the loss of
agricultural land if excluded by the Agricultural Land Commission.
Commercial and Industrial Strategy
The Maple Ridge Commercial and Industrial Strategy, endorsed by Council in August 2014, provided
and evaluated different strategies for identifying and developing additional industrial land. A key
message of the Strategy was that an additional 200 acres of industrial land was needed to meet
future demand for industrial land in the Community. The final strategy of this document, Strategy #8
is titled ALR/ALR Exemptions. This section states the following:
Pursuing ALR exemptions for future land supply is considered a risk filled strategy that
should only be pursued in the long term future if other initiatives prove insufficient for
meeting demand for industrial land. The Agricultural Land Commission has changed the
process of reviewing applications for ALR exemptions, and they are becoming more strict
than in years past.
It should be noted the Ministry of Agriculture has recently formed an advisory group that is focusing
on the purpose and role of the ALC and ALR. The recommendations of this work will likely be made
public in September. As a result of this work, there may be implications for decisions made on new
and in stream applications to the Agricultural Land Commission.
- 7 -
Regional Growth Strategy
The Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy, adopted in July 2011, has established a regional
layer identifying specific properties as agricultural lands throughout the Region. In addition, an
amendment process has been established. If the current application is successful, an amendment
to redesignate the excluded portion of the subject properties would be required from Agricultural to
Industrial. It would be considered a Type 2 amendment, requiring a two-thirds weighted vote and a
regional public hearing.
As the Strategy developed, a mechanism was provided for identifying properties that in the future
were expected to change their land use designations. Properties so identified were considered
“special study areas”, with a minor amendment process for redesignation involving a simple 50 %
plus 1 weighted vote without the requirement of a public hearing.
The adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy marks the completion of a comprehensive boundary
review for Maple Ridge. The subject properties have been identified as Agricultural in this Regional
Plan, and will therefore require a Type 2 amendment in order to be redesignated. By comparison,
the Albion Flats were identified as a “Special Study Area”, should there be a block exclusion for the
land south of Jim Robson Way, these parcels would be expected to be redesignated in the future
through the more simple amendment process.
Concurrent Applications:
Albion Flats. The Albion Flats has been an area of interest for Council for several years. In 2011,
upon their review of the Albion Flats Concept Plan, the Agricultural Land Commission provided
comments about the potential exclusion of the lands south of Jim Robson Way (the east side of
Albion Flats), and reaffirmed their commitment to the retention of the properties north of Jim Robson
Way (west side) within the ALR.
More recently Council endorsed a process for the Albion Flats. Staff are engaged in the preparation
of a report outlining the process and the feasible timelines involved in pursuing a possible block
exclusion application for the lands south of Jim Robson Way, all of which will be presented at a
Council workshop in July. The eventual outcome of this work will likely be a block exclusion
application.
Inclusion Application. As noted in Appendix C, to off-set the loss of ALR land with this exclusion, the
applicant has applied to include within the Agricultural Land Reserve an equivalent area of land
(22.66 hectares or 56 acres) in Pitt Meadows. This land is already in blueberry production and is
contiguous with existing ALR land.
Staff are not able to fully evaluate the merits of this proposed exchange. However, Council should be
advised that while these lands are not within the Agricultural Land Reserve, they have been
designated as Agriculture in the Regional Growth Strategy (See Appendix C). For this reason, these
lands could not be redesignated for other uses without first triggering a Regional Growth Strategy
Amendment.
As these properties have already been provided regional protection for long term agricultural use, it
is questionable that their inclusion in the Reserve would be a replacement for these parcels under
application for exclusion.
- 8 -
Subdivision Application. The applicant has submitted a concurrent subdivision application in order to
parcel off the portion of the subject site proposed for exclusion. It should be noted that the
approving officer has been granted the authority to allow subdivision to occur along the boundary of
the Agricultural Land Reserve. (As outlined in Part 5 of the Agricultural Land Reserve Use,
Subdivision and Procedure Regulation). For this reason, the application has not been advanced at
this time as it is understood that additional approvals for subdivision will not be required for the
portion of the site that is proposed for exclusion, if successful.
Davison Farms. An exclusion application has been received by the ALC and it is to also be considered
by Council on June 26, 2018. As a part of their submission, the applicant suggests that the Davison
property should be considered as equally beneficial to the Golden Eagle Farm Group proposal.
Agricultural Land Commission
The Commission has established guidelines for local governments regarding the timing of application
processing. These guidelines are provided by the Commission in their document, the Agricultural
Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation. The local government is required to
submit the application within 60 days of its receipt under Section 21.1 of this Regulation. In
addition a local government has an option to hold a public meeting to review an application which
would extend the length of time permitted for application processing to 90 days.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications
The applicant hosted a public open house on February 3, 2018 and there was mixed reviews from
within the community. More recent correspondence has been received for this application and will
be forwarded to the Commission should Council forward this application. Many residents are
opposed to the exclusion of these properties. However, the Haney Farmers market has provided a
letter of support, due to the stated commitments made by the applicant to support small scale
farming on the site.
CONCLUSION:
This application for exclusion and non-farm uses within the Agricultural Land Reserve has been
considered in the context of the policies of the Official Community Plan, the Agricultural Plan, the
Commercial and Industrial Strategy, and the Regional Growth Strategy. All these documents contain
policies that could support this application, but also could support the retention of agricultural
parcels for agricultural purposes.
The Official Community Plan has policies that support the development of additional employment
lands. At the same time the Official Community Plan has policies that support agriculture and the
protection of agricultural lands. The Commercial and Industrial Strategy recognizes the need for
additional employment lands, but with the exception of the Albion Flats, cautions against relying on
exclusion applications for meeting this need.
- 9 -
The merits of this application are the contributory measures to offset the loss of agricultural land,
and its support of small scale agriculture. The recommendations of this report are in accordance
with Council direction for exclusion applications.

Dear Agricultural Land Commission:
RE: Golden Ears Lands Proposal by Golden Eagle Farm Group for ALR Exclusion and Inclusion in Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows
We submit the following as background information for consideration by the B.C. Agricultural Land
Commission in review of the above noted application.
Introduction
An application has been made by the Golden Eagle Farm Group (an Aquilini Group division) to the City of
Maple Ridge, City of Pitt Meadows, and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to:
•exclude 22.66 ha (56 acres) from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) located near 12930 203 St,
Maple Ridge; and
•include 22.66 ha (56 acres) of non-ALR land into the ALR located near 16001 Rannie Road, Pitt
Meadows; and
Golden Eagle Farm Group is BC’s largest cash crop farm, currently growing 1300 acres of blueberries and
1600 acres of cranberries in the cities of Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. Founded in 1980, the
cumulative investment into land improvements is about $200 million, exclusive of the cost of the land
and annual operating expenditures. We believe that no other private sector entity has invested more
into farming in B.C. and this demonstrates our commitment to utilizing land in the Fraser Valley to
produce high quality food. In addition, we have large farming and vineyard operations in Quebec,
Washington State and Australia. The fruit from our Canadian farms is sold under world-renowned brand
names such as Naturipe and Ocean Spray, and is mostly exported to markets in the U.S., Europe and
Asia.
Unfortunately, a small portion of Golden Eagle’s agricultural land holdings cannot be farmed;
specifically, the majority of a 202 acre parcel of primarily brownfield land bounded by Golden Ears Way
to the South, 203rd Street to the West, 132ndAvenue along the North and 210th Street on the East side.
Golden Eagle is proposing to rehabilitate and farm 146 acres of the 202 acre parcel. To provide funding
for this costly soil rehabilitation program, we are applying to exclude the 56 acres of severely damaged
land from the ALR. To replace the excluded 56 acres of poor quality land, we are applying to include 56
acres of currently productive and better-quality non-ALR farmland in Pitt Meadows into the ALR so that
there is no net loss of land from the ALR. The 56 acre inclusion parcel has very good soil, access to
water, and once it is included into the ALR, will not be under threat of residential development as are

the neighboring non-ALR lands. We also would like to build a combined Food Hub and university
research center on the excluded parcel that will be a model for sustainability and local food production.
The Damaged Lands For Exclusion
The Pelton lands have sat mostly idle since the collapse of a forest seedling business in 2008 that
degraded most of the site. The seedling business was viable because the production is an intensive
industrial process that bears little resemblance to other types of agriculture. Seedlings require long crop
rotations (7 - 18 months) and are grown in containers rather than in the soil and do not require bright
natural light. In 2015, the Pelton property was acquired by Golden Eagle Farms.
The Pelton family acquired the parcels starting in 1970 and never were able to grow anything in the soil
other than hay. Prior to their ownership, a small amount of corn was grown but that cornfield is now
occupied by a greenhouse. To the best knowledge of the Pelton family, there were never any root crops
on the land.
Prior to development of the seedling nursery, the majority of the site had a mapped unimproved Land
Capability for Agriculture (LCA) rating of Class 4 with an excess water limitation and the improved rating
is Class 2 with an excess water limitation (BC Soil Information Finder Tool). A lesser area that has an
unimproved rating of Class 3 with excess water, soil structure and topographic limitations and an
improved rating of Class 2 with the same limitations. One LCA polygon, which includes the most eastern
portion of the properties, includes an unimproved organic soils rating of Class 5 with an excess water
limitation and an improved rating of Class 3 and 4 with degree of decomposition/permeability and
excess water limitations.
In 2009, eleven soil test pits were excavated. The soil testing revealed that soil in four pits correlated to
the Alouette series and four to the Pitt series. Both soils are known for their limitations of poor
drainage, high water tables and susceptibility to surface ponding during periods of heavy rain.
In Fall 2017 and Spring 2018, additional pits were excavated and the previous results were confirmed.
The recent test pits also showed the extent of soil degradation. A detailed Agricultural Assessment
study1 of the site concluded that the soil has been heavily damaged because of the construction of
access roads, greenhouses, concrete slabs and office buildings. Only about 22% of the total area is
undisturbed. The Pelton lands underwent an unsuccessful application for ALR exclusion in 2010. At that
time, the Agricultural Land Commission referenced a BC Land Inventory land capability classification
report written in 1980. Over the subsequent 30 years, there has been a worsening of the soil conditions
on the property due to the use as a reforestation nursery. Site rehabilitation would involve:
• cleanup of the brownfield area of the property where the soil has been contaminated with
layers of gravel and geofabric placed to provide mud free work areas;
• removal of paved, or concrete driveways throughout the open air portion of the site;

Maple Ridge, BC V2X 7G2, Canada
• removal of buried electrical wires, hot air pipes, water pipes, gas lines and other infrastructure;
• removal of compacted gravel roadways;
• removal of many buildings with concrete slabs and foundations, including one meter pins driven
into the ground to anchor the greenhouse structures;
• removal of a garbage and other waste materials that have been buried or scattered throughout;
and
• purchasing suitable quality soil to be placed over the naturally occurring fine textured soils.
These pictures show two areas of degraded soil.
After reviewing the findings from the 2009, 2017 and 2018 test pits, as well as topographical maps, a
proposed layout for the 56 acre exclusion has been determined and 100% of the exclusion will be
brownfield land degraded by the former industrial operations and comprised of class 5 and class 4 land.
The proposed layout also shows that 100% of the site that has not been previously contaminated will be
farmed.
The Better Lands for Inclusion
The inclusion lands are located at the base of Sheridan Hill, near the 16000 Block Rannie Road. They
include the following field blocks of blueberry plantings:
1. Field Lafarge – 100% of this field is non-ALR and is planted with Elliot blueberries (45 acres)
2. Field 118 – about 25% of this field is non-ALR and is planted with Reka (6 acres)
3. Field 120 – about half of this field is non-ALR and was planted with Liberty. This field was
recently re-planted (5 acres)
Golden Eagle Farm Group
PO Box 280, Stn Del Ctr
Maple Ridge, BC V2X 7G2, Canada
The yield from these fields is about 10,000 pounds of blueberries per acre. This average yield is well
above the B.C. average yield per acre2.
According to a professional agrologist, “the existing land capability for agriculture mapping for the
‘inclusion’ lands shows unimproved capability of Class 4 and 5, improving to Class 2 and 3 with drainage
improvements. The mapped capability of the Pelton Lands before disturbance was similar; unimproved
Class 3, 4 and 5 improving to Class 2 and 3.” The LCA of the inclusion lands is certainly greater than the
existing LCA on the disturbed areas of the Pelton lands. These pictures show the proposed 56 acres of
inclusion lands in relation to Sheridan Hill and existing Blueberry Fields.
Agricultural Benefits of this Proposal
Golden Eagle Farms asked for public input into what improvement and investments should be made into
agriculture. We created a website (sensiblelanduse.com), bought advertisements, and held an open

house to solicit ideas and input from the community. We have also reviewed the Maple Ridge
Agricultural Plan of 2011, and the consultant’s report on a potential Food Hub done for the City of
Maple Ridge. From this extensive public consultation, we have refined a vison for the property that will
make it a prominent example of agricultural innovation, local food production, sustainable practices,
and agri-tourism.
We will also commit to legal undertakings, land covenants and/or long-term and City supervised leases
that will ensure these agricultural amenities will be permanent.
This agriculture investments and donations we will commit to making are:
1. Farmers Market and Food Hub
Golden Eagle has been consulting with the local agricultural community around the desire to expand the
size and timeframe of the Haney Farmers Market, as well as to develop a food hub where local produce
could be packaged and marketed.
This would benefit the 1300 small farmers in the region who currently do not have a reliable method of
marketing their crops. Many of these small farms are going out of business and becoming equestrian
estates or high-end residential properties, and many more will follow unless changes are undertaken.
The Food Hub concept was recently reviewed by a consultant hired by the City that made several
recommendations that this proposal would assist in moving forward to fruition. We would like to build
a permanent facility constructed on excluded land located near Golden Ears Way. This building would
have these components:
• A community market with permanent vendors;
• A flex space made available free of charge to the Haney Farmers Market Society so that local
farms can market their products;
• A packaging, cold food storage, and potentially a commercial kitchen area made available free of
charge to a Farm Market Cooperative to further support local farmers;
• A management and technology function that can support the local farmers with online orders
(similar to the Cowichan Valley Co-Operative Marketplace);
• A restaurant that will focus on locally grown produce and products (farm to restaurant table);
and
• Office, laboratory and classroom facilities for a university-led Food Innovation Centre.
The rehabilitated and adjacent 146 acres will be repurposed for regenerative farming practices that will
complement the farmer’s market retail and food services. For example, the greenhouses can supply
organic produce to the market and the restaurants. A free range poultry farm can raise chickens and
produce eggs that can supply the restaurant and be sold in the market. The manure from the poultry
farm can be used to enrich the soils so that fewer artificial inputs are required.

The existing greenhouses operations that grow vegetables, sprouts and herbs will continue to be
expanded. There are currently three greenhouses that are sitting idle and exploratory works are
underway to see what crops could be beneficially grown in these facilities. All of this is an example of
encouraging farming in collaboration with other communities of interest.
2. University Food and Agricultural Innovation Centre
Golden Eagle Farms has reached a partnership agreement with the University of Fraser Valley (UFV) and
is prepared to donate land, buildings and money so that UFV can create the Maple Ridge Agriculture
Research Centre which will enable UFV to enhance current capacity in berry research and expand
current activities in the areas of aerial drone and soil research. The philanthropic donation of land,
offices and facilities will total over $2 million.
In addition to classrooms and laboratory and office space, the Innovation Centre will occupy two acres
of land and a greenhouse for field trials. The future of Canada’s food security is dependent upon our
ability to lead with innovative technologies and systems that intentionally use multi-disciplinary
collaborative partnerships to proactively solve issues of sustainability, food safety, and labour supply in
an increasingly globally integrated market. UFV is well positioned to respond to this challenge. In
conjunction with the existing Abbotsford campus and the Agriculture Centre of Excellence in Chilliwack,
the new facility will lead British Columbia towards a sustainable, food secure future, developing research
capacity to supply the knowledge and skills to keep the regional agriculture economy globally
competitive, oriented to a sustainable future, and striving for innovation.
This Centre will also complement the regional food hub and farmers’ market with expert research and
advice. There is increasing public interest in access to local foods and creating innovative ways that
enable small scale producers to promote their products and reduce their distribution costs by
establishing a central location for restaurateurs and the discerning public to purchase their produce in a
single location. UFV’s physical presence at the market and food hub in Maple Ridge would encourage
greater collaboration between researchers and regional producers that will lead to further innovation,
and a more diverse, stable and productive agriculture sector in the region. The students of UFV could
naturally progress into occupying one of the incubator farms that will be discussed later.
3. Employment Lands, Co-Packers and Customers for the Market
The 56 acres of employment lands will house 9253 permanent workers who will patronize the farmers
market on a daily basis. Instead of driving to multiple stores and creating greenhouse gases and traffic
congestion, these workers can walk to the market and buy coffee, lunch, dinner and local products. This
also ensures the sustainability of the market in low tourism months.

Land-Market.pdf
Golden Eagle Farm Group
PO Box 280, Stn Del Ctr
Maple Ridge, BC V2X 7G2, Canada
Our intention is to have the 56 acres zoned as a business park, similar to Maple Meadows Business Park
which is on the lower end of noise and emission levels for employment lands. A priority tenant will be
food processing businesses that will further complement the farmers market and Food Innovation
Centre. For example, a business operating a high pressure pasteurization unit or food packagers would
be ideal tenants. Subject to City of Maple Ridge approvals, the remainder of the land will be likely be
utilized for movie studios and perhaps a hotel to house visiting actors and production crews.
In addition to the social and environmental benefits, this proposal has the economic benefits of creating
925 permanent and 140 construction jobs (total of 1065), bringing a $902 million direct and secondary
economic impact to the community, and generating $2.9 million in new annual tax revenue for the City
of Maple Ridge.
These positive economic impacts are even greater when you add in the:
• permanent economic benefit of the 56 acres of traded-in non ALR lands;
• new economic benefits of the rehabilitated 146 acres;
• new tourism and support jobs created by the farmers market, food hub and innovation centre;
• new economic benefits enjoyed by local farmers that will package and market their products in
the new food hub; and
• economic benefits of the lower carbon footprint of this synergistically planned agricultural hub.
As stated, we will prioritize locating “co-packing” businesses on these employment lands. Giving small
local farmers access to these businesses will ensure that the finished products have the lowest costs
because there is close proximity to the raw product as well as close proximity to the point of sale (the
new farmers market).
4. Incubator Farms Donated to UFV
Golden Eagle Farms will donate 5 acres of incubator farms for lease to young farmers entering the
industry. This would alleviate the barriers to new farmers from high land costs. These farms would be
made available for a nominal lease cost to a young farmer who showed willingness and ability to farm
the land. During this lease period, the farmer would develop their crop and market potential and make
a decision as to whether they could then move to a more conventional owner-operated farm operation.
Once the farmer moved on, another young farmer would take over the land and start the process over
again. The benefits to the farmer would be absence of a large capital outlay for land, and the
opportunity to establish a “track record” to assist with obtaining conventional financing at the end of
the lease period.
The 5 acres of incubator farmland would be donated to the University of Fraser Valley who could
establish a bursary for UFV students that have distinguished themselves as participants at the UFV
Maple Ridge Agriculture Research Center.

Ministry of Agriculture Priorities
This proposal is aligned with current Ministry of Agriculture priorities that have been outlined in the
Ministerial Mandate Letter dated July 18, 2017 which states:
• Improve the ALR because this proposal removes damaged land, replaces it with better land that
is currently growing blueberries, and rehabilitates and uses other damaged and non-productive
land;
• Help young farmers access land by creating incubator farms;
• Support local producers and enable them to consolidate their products into one distribution
point which will allow local hospitals, schools and governments, as well as non-government
customers, to purchase the local food in the volume needed and at the competitive prices
required;
• Support local small farms by providing a method and means of marketing their product;
• Promote a “Buy B.C.” marketing focus and enable local producers to market to a larger
audience, both in local and broader markets; and
• Create a university-led Food Innovation Centre that will improve farming and marketing
practices by combining academic and practical research.
Summary
The central basis of this proposal is to remove 56 acres of damaged brownfield land from the ALR and
permanently include 56 acres of better quality land into the ALR. The degraded 56 acres are not suitable
for soil based agriculture. The 56 acres of inclusion acreage is proven as productive farmland.
This application is unique because of the following:
1. As the proponent, Golden Eagle Farms is B.C.’s largest cash crop farmer and we believe we have
invested more into farming locally and world-wide than any other private sector farmer in B.C.
We have the technical and corporate competencies to ensure the agricultural improvements
outlined in this proposal will be made;
2. Golden Eagle Farms and the Aquilini Group are not farm land speculators. This is the first-ever
application by companies controlled by the Aquilini family for an ALR exclusion;
3. Our plan includes building a campus of facilities that can house a house the Haney Farmers
Market, processing hub and university-led Food Innovation Center.
4. In addition to farming capabilities, our company has property development, food service (Top
Table Group) and grocery service (Stong’s) expertise that will be utilized to ensure the farm
market and processing hub will be successful;
Golden Eagle Farm Group
PO Box 280, Stn Del Ctr
Maple Ridge, BC V2X 7G2, Canada
5. The parcel has been identified in the City of Maple Ridge Commercial and Industrial Strategy as
potential employment lands. An estimated 925 permanent jobs will be created;
6. Three incubator farms (totalling 5 acres) will be donated to enable young farmers to learn and
gain experience with farming;
7. A donation of over $2 million in land, facilities and cash will be made to the University of Fraser
Valley so they can develop a BC Food Innovation Centre. This center will be accessible by public
transportation and will be adjacent to farms and marketing operations;
8. This proposal will encourage and support farming on agricultural land in collaboration with
other communities of interest such as the proposed farm market which is well positioned for
success with the walking distance proximity of the over 925 customers who are now employed
on the excluded 56 acres; and
9. The new employment lands will be an ideal location for food “co-packers” and these businesses
will further support and strengthen existing small farms.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
22018, 22080 128 Avenue and PID 001-097-300
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
exclude 3 contiguous properties totaling approximately 16.15 hectares (39.9 acres) from the
Agricultural Land Reserve. The Applicant’s submission conforms with the notice of application
requirements of the Agricultural Land Commission.
The subject properties are part of the Davison Dairy farm, an agricultural operation that includes
Golden Ears Cheese Crafters.
RECOMMENDATION:
The following resolutions are provided for Council’s consideration:
a)That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b)That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.

b) Project Description:
The applicant is seeking to exclude the subject properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve for
business development purposes and feels that an assembly of these properties would be a more
logical choice for exclusion from the ALR for employment generating land. Much of the applicant’s
submission includes a comparison of these properties (amounting to 16.15 hectares or 39.9 acres)
to concurrent ALC exclusion application 2018-209-AL (which proposes to exclude 22.66 hectares or
56 acres from the Agricultural Land Reserve) in the vicinity of Golden Ears Way and 203rd Street.
The rationale provided by the applicant is attached to this report as Appendix C.
c) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining
legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for exclusion from the
Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring
applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
This process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council resolved
that the process for referring applications for exclusion to the Agricultural Land Commission include
the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
- 3 -
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
Golden Ears Cheese Crafters.
The subject property has been an integral part of the Cheese Crafters operation at 22270 128th
Avenue since it commenced. Cheese Crafters was able to utilize the provisions in the ALC for product
processing and retail out of recognition of the integration of this operation with the dairy farm. In
2016, Cheese Crafters applied for a non-farm use application in order to legitimize the existing
commercial kitchen use. In their response, the Commission stated the following:
…the Panel would like to take this opportunity to remedy any misunderstanding of the
Regulations in this regard. The Panel is amenable to the continued operation of the
Cheese Crafters in its current size and location so long as it remains tied to the Davison
Farm, upon which, the current product source and business is dependent.
This use is already a high value investment that contributes to the local economy, and meets many
objectives associated with industrial land. The applicant has not provided a remedy for meeting
Commission requirements should this dairy operation cease, or considered the implications for this
light industrial operation. It is anticipated that ALC approvals would be required for the Cheese
Crafters operation should the exclusion application be supported by the Agricultural Land
Commission. There is a restrictive covenant on title for the decommissioning of the operation should
its agricultural operation cease.
Official Community Plan
The Official Community Plan, adopted by Council on November 14, 2006, contains statements and
policies that pertain to this application. Some of these could support the development of
employment lands on these properties. However, other policies support the retention of agricultural
lands for agricultural purposes. The following outlines some of the relevant sections from the Official
Community Plan.
Section 6 - Employment
Section 6 of the Official Community Plan speaks directly to the issue of employment in the Official
Community Plan in that it recognizes the need to diversify the tax assessment and create more jobs
in Maple Ridge in order to become a more balanced community. Section 6.4.1 states:
To accommodate the long term demand for industrial lands, Maple Ridge needs to create an
additional industrial area or areas of about 80 to 120 hectares (200 to 300 acres).
One of the objectives that supports the above noted statement is:
To create a larger more diverse industrial sector that offers greater employment
opportunities for residents, generates additional investment, enhances local businesses and
creates a larger tax base to pay for municipal services and amenities.
Building further on that objective, Policy 6 – 45 states the following:
- 4 -
The identification of additional employment generating lands is a priority for the District.
Following the completion of an Agricultural Plan, and as a component of a comprehensive
review of the Urban Area Boundary Maple Ridge will evaluate alternate locations for a large
block or blocks of additional employment generating land to support the growth of the
employment sector in the future. Location parameters for suitable industrial land may
include, but is not limited to:
a) land that is relatively flat;
b) land that is conducive to industrial development;
c) land that is contiguous to a full range of municipal services;
d) land that is strategically located near the Regional transportation network.
The subject properties meet the location criteria as expressed in this policy. In addition, in the
background papers prepared for the Official Community Plan, this area was one of the areas
identified for potential consideration of employment lands.
Locational criteria are stated in Policy 6-46 of the Official Community Plan as follows:
Maple Ridge will consider industrial development within the Urban Area Boundary providing
that the following compatibility criteria can be satisfied:
i) land is contiguous to a full range of municipal services;
ii) land is strategically located on, or near a Major Road Corridor and the transportation
network can support the development;
iii) the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding area; and
iv) the use is consistent with the Economic Development Strategy.
Within the Employment Section of the Official Community Plan, there are also statements and
policies that emphasize the importance of Agriculture to the Maple Ridge community. Section 6.2
states that the value of agriculture is consistently recognized and supported within the community.
Section 6.2 states:
Agricultural land is a key component of the Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy and
provides many benefits of local and Regional significance. As an economic generator it
contributes to a more complete community.
Policies 6-5 to 6-8 all speak to the promotion of agriculture. Specifically in the Economic
Development Strategy component of the Employment Section of the Official Community Plan, Policy
6-7 speaks to the promotion of sustainable agriculture.
Policy 6-12 of the Official Community Plan sets out conditions for protecting agricultural land, as
follows:
Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:
a) adopting a guiding principle of ”positive benefit to agriculture” when making land use
decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of
initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure
improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land
Reserve;
b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of
non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set
impacts on agricultural capability;
- 5 -
c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads,
topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced residential
densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land; …
Growth Management Policies
Section 2.1 of the Official Community Plan states that in Maple Ridge the majority of the growth in
population, jobs and housing will be accommodated within the Urban Area Boundary where services
are readily available or infrastructure is already in place. The subject lands under application are not
within the Urban Area Boundary although they are contiguous to it. The Official Community Plan
emphasizes that adjustments to the Urban Area Boundary, if required, must follow a specified
process, as outlined in Policy 2-6 of the Official Community Plan:
Maple Ridge supports and maintains the Urban Area Boundary recognizing the role that it
has on limiting urban expansion, preserving community character, reducing land speculation
within the Agricultural Land Reserve and protecting the agricultural land base, and in
providing for the efficient delivery of services. Adjustments to the Urban Area Boundary:
a) will only be supported if the District has an adopted Agricultural Plan;
b) will be considered in cooperation with the Agricultural Land Commission and Metro
Vancouver; and
c) will only be conducted during a Comprehensive Official Community Plan review, or
Council directed Comprehensive Urban Area Boundary review, and applications
considered outside of either review are considered premature.
The Agricultural Plan was adopted by Council on December 16, 2009. Its main focus was to
recommend the means by which the City could enhance its agricultural potential. The Plan
recognizes the need to re-emphasize the role of Agriculture in the ALR. The implementation of the
Plan is currently being undertaken by the Maple Ridge Agricultural Advisory Committee with key
initiatives being presented to Council for consideration at a future date. However the Agricultural
Plan recognizes that there may be situations in the future where exclusions may be required to meet
community needs. Goal 6 of the Plan discusses the issue of the co nversion of agricultural land as
follows:
The primary goal with respect to larger established farming operations in Maple Ridge is to
plan for their retention as farms, rather than watch them languish and deteriorate, so that
the community can optimize the rewards and advantages of having agriculture in its midst.
Limited to highly specific situations, the secondary goal (if the primary goal is not feasible) is
to explore establishing a policy of compensation from development that enables funds to be
generated and expended so that the net agricultural capability of the District is enhanced by
investment elsewhere.
At present, there is not a program in place for compensatory measures to off-set the loss of
agricultural land if excluded by the Agricultural Land Commission.
Commercial and Industrial Strategy
The Maple Ridge Commercial and Industrial Strategy, endorsed by Council in August 2014, provided
and evaluated different strategies for identifying and developing additional industrial land. A key
message of the Strategy was that an additional 69 to 93 hectares (170 to 230) acres of industrial
- 6 -
land was needed to meet future demand for industrial land in the Community. The final strategy of
this document, Strategy #8 is titled ALR/ALR Exemptions. This section states the following:
Pursuing ALR exemptions for future land supply is considered a risk filled strategy that
should only be pursued in the long term future if other initiatives prove insufficient for
meeting demand for industrial land. The Agricultural Land Commission has changed the
process of reviewing applications for ALR exemptions, and they are becoming more strict
than in years past.
It should be noted the Ministry of Agriculture has recently formed an advisory group that is focusing
on the purpose and role of the ALC and ALR. The recommendations of this work will likely be made
public in September. As a result of this work, there may be implications for decisions made on new
and in stream applications to the Agricultural Land Commission.
Regional Growth Strategy
The Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy, adopted in July 2011, has established a regional
layer identifying specific properties as agricultural lands throughout the Region. In addition, an
amendment process has been established. If the current application is successful, an amendment
to redesignate the excluded portion of the subject properties would be required from Agricultural to
Industrial. It would be considered a Type 2 amendment, requiring a two -thirds weighted vote and a
regional public hearing.
As the Strategy developed, a mechanism was provided for identifying properties that in the future
were expected to change their land use designations. Properties so identified were considered
“special study areas”, with a minor amendment process fo r redesignation involving a simple
weighted vote without the requirement of a public hearing.
The adoption of the Regional Growth Strategy marks the completion of a comprehensive boundary
review for Maple Ridge. The subject properties have been identified as Agricultural in this Regional
Plan, and will therefore require a Type 2 amendment in order to be redesignated. By comparison,
the Albion Flats were identified as a “Special Study Area”. Should there be a block exclusion for the
land south of Jim Robson Way, these parcels would be expected to be redesignated in the future
through the more simple amendment process.
Concurrent Applications
As noted above, the Commercial and Industrial Strategy identifies a need for an additional 69 to
93 hectares (170 to 230) acres of employment land. With this goal in mind, the City continues
its work, of which a likely outcome will be a block exclusion application for the south east portion
of the Albion Flats. The removal of this land (south and east of Jim Robson Way) would
contribute 33.5 hectares (82 acres) towards this objective.
Also in this agenda package for the June 26, 2018 Council meeting are exclusion applications for
the Golden Eagle Farm Group on the former Pelton’s lands at 203rd Street between 132nd
Avenue and Golden Ears Way (22.66 hectares or 56 acres), and for the 0.987 (2.4 acre) property
at 12225 250th Street in support of a residential subdivision. The timing of the current
application and for the property at 12225 250th Street was made at the request of the
applicants. The timing of the Golden Eagle application was due to a concern with meeting the 60
day timeline outlined by the Commission in their guidelines to local governments.

Citizen/ Customer Implications.
Correspondence has been received for this application and will be provided to the Commission
should Council forward this application. Many residents are opposed to the exclusion of these
properties.
CONCLUSION:
This application for exclusion within the Agricultural Land Reserve has been considered in the
context of the policies of the Official Community Plan, the Agricultural Plan, and the Commercial and
Industrial Strategy. All these documents contain policies that could support this application, but also
could support retention of this property for agricultural use.
The Official Community Plan has policies that support the development of additional employment
lands. At the same time the Official Community Plan has policies that support agriculture and the
protection of agricultural lands. The Commercial and Industrial Strategy recognizes the need for
additional employment lands but with the exception of the Albion Flats, cautions against relying on
exclusion applications for meeting this need.
The recommendations of this report are in accordance with Council direction for exclusion
applications.

APPENDIX B
Proposal
How many hectares are you proposing to exclude?
16.3 ha
What is the purpose of the proposal?
The purpose of the proposal is to inform the City of Maple Ridge that the Davison Property is
available to take out of the ALR to support much needed business development land in
Maple Ridge. As it appears that Maple Ridge council may be supportive of forwarding the
Aquilini ALC application we would like the Davison Property to be considered as another
option for business development land in Maple Ridge.
Explain why you believe that the parcel(s) should be excluded from the ALR.
The size of the property is similar in size to the property being considered in the Aqulini application
but we feel the Davison property would be a more logical choice for exclusion from the ALR to
provide needed property for business development land.
The reasons are as follows:
The Davison Property is well located in Central Maple Ridge which could provide land for business
development and services in an under serviced area central to all residents in Maple Ridge.
The Aqulini property is located on the far West side of Maple Ridge only convenient to
residents in West Maple Ridge in an already over serviced area.
The Davison Property is directly adjacent to existing urban development and extends North to 128th
Ave. We feel that 128th Ave. would work well as a new natural defensible boundary and if
any land is to be removed from the ALR it should be on the South side of 128th Ave adjacent
to existing urban development.
The Aquilini property is on the North side of 128th Ave and not adjacent to existing development. The
Aqilini proposal would create a situation where we have a large swath of farm land in
between existing urban development and the new business development. Again, it seems
more logical to contain any new development on the South side of 128th Ave.
In regards to actual farm use the Davison Dairy Farm does not work well with the amount of land
they have and the need to import 90% of their feed. The Davison Family are very proud of
their fifth generation dairy farm and would like to relocate it to the interior of BC where they
can operate much more efficiently and preserve the family dairy farm tradition for many more
generations without the constant complaints about the smell of their dairy farm from the
residential neighbours.
The Aquilini farm does not have the same residential alignment issues.
It should also be noted that the Aquilini property is much more productive farm land then the
Davison property. According to Kevin Davison who used to own and farm 80 acres of the
Aquilini property he would yield approximately 30 tons of silage corn per acre. He is only able
to yield approximately 15 tons of silage corn per acre in the substandard soil of the Davison
property.

SUBJECT: Application to Exclude Land from the Agricultural Land Reserve
12225 250 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received under Section 30 (1) of the Agricultural Land Commission Act to
exclude approximately 0.987 hectares (2.4 acres) of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The
Applicant’s submission conforms with the notice of application requirements of the Agricultural Land
Commission.
This property will be familiar to Council as the applicant had previously communicated to neighbours
the intention to develop a intensive poultry farm on the subject property. Many residents expressed
opposition to a poultry farm of that magnitude with chickens, and some of these residents have
indicated support for excluding the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Letters of support
have been included in the applicant’s submission to the Agricultural Land Commission.
The recommendation of this report has been in accordance with Council direction and does not
articulate a specific approach. However, Council is advised to consider the following in their
decision making process:
Neighbourhood opposition to the proposed poultry farm was a specific response to a
potentially offensive type of farming in a residential context, due to odours, traffic impacts,
and visual intrusion. Consideration of a more extensive range of possible agricultural uses
and impacts for this property have not been advanced at this time. It may be that
appropriate small lot agricultural uses that are consistent with hobby farming would be
welcomed in the neighbourhood. There is local support for small lot agriculture that offers
modest income potential for farming interests, and local agricultural products to the
customer base.
The applicant’s intention for urban levels of residential development at this location is at
odds with the direction of the Official Community Plan. The existing RS-1 One Family Urban
Residential Zone of the properties in this vicinity is not consistent with the land use
designations of either Estate Suburban or Agricultural, and should be considered legal non-
conforming.
Should this application prove successful, it will reduce the land base in the Agricultural Land
Reserve within the community and likely increase speculative interests in agricultural
1103
- 2 -
properties next to residential development. Within the area, there are a number of
properties in the Agricultural Land Reserve that are also zoned RS-1 One Family Urban
Residential (as shown on Appendix C). This application, if successful, may increase
development pressures on these properties.
RECOMMENDATION:
The following resolutions are provided for Council’s consideration:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
DISCUSSION:

Proposed Use of Property: Urban Residential
Site Area: 0.987
Access: 250th Street
- 3 -
b) Site Context:
The site context includes the “Smith Avenue subdivision”, a block of parcels created in 1957 that
are designated Estate Suburban in the Official Community Plan. These properties predate the
creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Zoned RS-1 One Family Urban Residential, the properties
within this subdivision generally conform to the minimum area requirements of the zone. Despite
their parcel size and their urban zoning, these properties are remote from the urban area and are
designated Rural in Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy.
The acreage parcels that enclosed this subdivision (many of which were also zoned RS-1 One Family
Urban Residential) were included in the Agricultural Land Reserve in 1972. The 0.987 hectare (2.4
acre) subject property sits at the northern boundary of these Estate Suburban Properties. Appendix
C shows zoning and the Agricultural Land Reserve. Appendix D shows the Agricultural and the
Estate Suburban land use designations.
c) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to exclude the property from the Agricultural Land Reserve in order to create
a 9 lot subdivision under the subject property’s current RS-1 One Family Rural Residential Zoning. A
landscape strip is proposed as a buffer to separate the newly created lots from adjacent agricultural
land. A subdivision proposal is appended to this report in Appendix E.
Should this application be successful, the property would not require rezoning in order to develop to
urban residential densities, due to the existing urban zoning of the subject property. However,
development considerations include the requirement for full urban services as a condition of
subdivision. The subject property has one sewer connection, and this service could not be
expanded without the consent of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District, which has
coordinated its mandate (The Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan) with Metro
Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy. The subject property is designated Agricultural in the
Regional Growth Strategy, and the extension of additional urban services at this location would be at
odds with regional growth management goals.
d) Planning Analysis:
On July 19, 2004, a report for processing exclusion applications was received by Council outlining
legal implications and the local government’s role in processing applications for exclusion from the
Agricultural Land Reserve. Council resolved to consider the following options for referring
applications to the Agricultural Land Commission:
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with no
comment.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with comments.
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to exclude the property with or without comments.
- 4 -
The application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
recommendation to not exclude the property with or without comments.
The application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission.
The process for decision making on applications for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve
was further refined by Council at their February 14, 2005 Workshop. At that time, Council
streamlined this process to include the following options:
a) That the application not be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission;
b) That the application be authorized to go forward to the Agricultural Land Commission with a
summary of Council’s comments and the staff report.
The above resolution forms the recommendations presented in this staff report. To assist Council in
the decision of allowing this application to proceed further, this development proposal will be
reviewed in light of the policies and policy concerns of the Official Community Plan, and the
Agricultural Plan.
Zoning Bylaw
By urban standards, the RS-1 One Family Urban Residential zoning of the subject property permits
relatively large lot sizes of 668 m2 (approximately 7000 ft2). Minimum lot dimensions include 27
metres for lot depth and 18 metres for lot width. However, this lot size is significantly smaller than
would typically be allowed in a Rural Residential or Estate Suburban land use designation. The
aligning zone in the Estate Suburban designation is RS-2 One Family Suburban Residential, which
has a minimum parcel size of 0.4 ha (1 acre) and minimum dimensions of 36 metres of lot width
with 60 metres of lot depth. As the zoning of these properties does not align with the land use
designation, this zone is legally non-conforming at this location.
Subdivision and Servicing Bylaw
The existing RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zone has servicing requirements as a condition of
subdivision. These include full urban services, including street trees, water, sanitary sewer, storm
drainage, asphalt, curb and gutters, underground wiring, boulevard treatment, sidewalks, street
lighting, and transit bays. The extension of sanitary sewer at this location would require the approval
of the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District.
Lot Geometry: The subject property has a lot width of 51.7 metres. The newly proposed lots would
take their lot depth from this frontage. A 15 metre cul-de sac would be required to give each newly
created lot sufficient road frontage.
As the required parcel depth in the RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zone is 27 metres, the
remainder from this dimension (51.7 – (27 + 15) would provide over 8 meters which could
potentially be used as an agricultural buffer.
- 5 -
Official Community Plan
OCP policies that are pertinent to this application are expressed as follows:
6 - 8 Maple Ridge will work cooperatively with senior levels of government and other agencies
to promote agricultural business opportunities by:
a) aligning land use bylaws to permit supportive non-farm uses such as agro-tourism,
bed and breakfasts, and on-farm sales;
b) assisting agricultural landowners to identify and develop agricultural opportunities
(e.g. value added, agri -tourism, bed and breakfast, recreation);
c) identifying and encouraging access by agricultural landowners to agricultural
programs;
d) promoting the demand for, and sale of, local agricultural products within the
community (e.g. farmer’s market, on-farm marketing, District food and plant material
procurement policies);
e) developing a small lot agricultural initiative tailored to Maple Ridge conditions.
In recognition that many Maple Ridge agricultural properties are small, (less than 4 hectares or 10
acres), Policy 6-11 states the following:
6 - 11 Maple Ridge will review policies and regulations to support and encourage small lot
agriculture.
To guide Council in their decision making process with properties that are within the Agricultural
Land Reserve, Policy 6-12 states the following:
6 - 12 Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by:
a) adopting a guiding principle of ”positive benefit to agriculture” when making land use
decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of
initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure
improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural
Land Reserve;
b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact
Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying
measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability;
c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads,
topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced
residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land;
d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where
positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated;
e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural
use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural
Residential;
f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more
cohesive parcels.
The applicant’s submission appears to conflict with many of these objectives. The applicant’s claim
of benefit to agriculture is the landscape buffer submitted with the subdivision plan aimed at
- 6 -
protecting the agricultural properties to the north and to the west of the site, once it is excluded.
The subdivision plan and rationale are attached as Appendix E. It should be noted that the intent of
agricultural buffers is that they be placed on the non-ALR side of the agricultural interface. It is not
the intent that the properties at the interface get excluded in order to create a buffer (and a new
interface).
Agricultural Plan
The Maple Ridge Agricultural Plan, endorsed by Council in 2009, recognized the challenges and
opportunities facing the agricultural industry in Maple Ridge. The Plan emphasized that within the
Maple Ridge agricultural sector, there is support for initiatives to protect, enhance, and promote
agriculture:
There is an expectation that traditional farming models will not be as applicable in the
future and that alternative models with new and multiple objectives should be pursued.
There are individuals within the Maple Ridge agricultural sector who see a need for
changes in how the agricultural sector currently interacts with the community and are
embracing new emerging food system options.
Key observations emerged from sector consultations that will guide the agricultural
planning process. Close proximity to a large urban population with increasing demand
for local food and agricultural products is the biggest strength of Maple Ridge
agriculture. As such, there is considerable opportunity to develop markets for a diverse
range of high quality products that are fresher, safer, and healthier by virtue of being
local.
There was overall optimism identified during the consultation process that food trends
could be translated into profitable business opportunities regardless of the constraints
posed by parcel size, fragmentation of the land base, or resource characteristics. These
proponents include both established farmers and also relatively unseasoned operators
with post-secondary educations, new ideas and substantial amounts of capital who are
just starting out.
The poultry farm proposal advanced by the applicant could be described as a more traditional type
of agriculture. The emphasis made by the Plan indicates that there may be other options for an
agricultural future for the property that would be lost if excluded and subdivided.
Since the 1996 endorsement of the Agricultural Plan, a number of initiatives have been
advanced to support this work. Most recent development includes the advancement of
development permit area guidelines for non-farm development near the ALR boundary.
A recommendation that has not yet been advanced pertains to the zoning of properties within
the Agricultural Land Reserve. In particular, the Plan notes that the RS-3 One Family Rural
Residential Zone, the most prevalent zone within the Agricultural Land Reserve, may contribute
to a perception that agriculture is not a principal use within this zone. The Plan contains
recommendations for redress of this situation.
- 7 -
The Plan does not comment on the impacts that RS-1 One Family Urban Residential Zoning may
have on properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve. However, it is reasonable to conclude
that this urban zone also increases the perception that the long term use of these properties is
not for agricultural purposes. On this basis, Council may wish to consider it appropriate to
amend the zoning of these properties to reflect the Agricultural Land Use Designation.
Contemporary Perspective
The applicant has communicated with the neighbourhood of the plans to develop an intensive
chicken farm on the property and in response received significant opposition to this proposal, due to
concerns about neighbourhood impacts that such an operation would create. There is little question
that an intensive poultry operation would ideally be situated more remotely from a residential
neighbourhood, with appropriate buffers in place.
There are, however, other types of agriculture that could actually benefit from closer proximity to
residential development. In Agricultural Urbanism, the book’s authors advance the concept of
“Artisan Agriculture” to describe a form of low impact agriculture that benefits from close proximity
to residential development.
Pertinent excerpts from this document are as follows:
Conventional agriculture today does not integrate easily into the urban fabric because it
requires large areas of farmland, significant industrial scale barns and machinery and
heavy spraying of fertilizers, pesticides, and in some cases, manure. The risk of dust or
chemicals drifting into nearby residential areas is always a concern, and the scale of
machinery makes it immediately evident that these uses are incompatible.
One response to this dilemma is to create significant buffers between agriculture and
human settlement, essentially further separating our cities and the production of the
food that sustains them. These buffers are appropriate in many cases are also being
promoted as a partial solution to the ongoing trade-offs between agriculture and habitat.
However, as noted elsewhere, conventional buffers tend to sever the physical and
psychological connections between people and agriculture.
When we begin to pursue the closer integration of farming and cities, we need to
envision or articulate an alternative model of faming that will not only survive being in
close proximity to homes, but will actually benefit from that adjacency. 1
Key components of this approach are:
Low-toxicity farming practices that minimize the use of pesticides and herbicides
High value products with direct to consumer marketing
Vertically integrated farming operations with value added products.
Agricultural Land Commission. The Agricultural Land Commission recognizes certain types of land
uses that support existing agriculture, such as on-site produce sales, processing, and agri-tourism.
1 Agricultural Urbanism , Janine de la Salle & Mark Holland, Green Frigate Books, 2010, p 61 .
- 8 -
These activities are particularly supportive of small scale agriculture, due to their potential to
promote agriculture and increase gross farm receipts.
Although the neighbourhood may have been concerned about an intensive poultry farm in their
vicinity, there are other potential farming activities that could be compatible with adjacent
residential uses. The policies of the Agricultural Land Commission could support these smalle r
scale farming activities. This opportunity would be lost if this property was removed from the ALR
and subdivided.
Growth Management and Extension of Sewer Services. At the January 9, 2017 Council Workshop,
Council received a report from the Engineering Department titled “Metro Vancouver Sewerage
Extension Provisions.” This report outlined the policy considerations pertinent to Metro Vancouver in
reviewing applications for extending sewer services. These policy considerations include restricting
the extension of regional sewerage services to Rural, Agricultural or Conservation and Recreation
designated lands that are outside the Urban Containment Boundary. The priorities driving these
restrictions are to ensure consistency with the regional land use designation, and with growth
management goals. Within this context, the only justification for sewer extension in these areas is to
address public health or environmental risks.
This application would require the extension of sewer to serve the proposed subdivision application,
and such an extension could not be justified based on the considerations noted above.
One of the concepts that have been advanced as part of this regional approach is one of “No
Significant Impact” in the review of sewer extension applications. It was noted that while extending
service to individual properties might not be significant from a regional capacity perspective, a single
property approval could establish precedents and lead to additional requests within a municipality.
The cumulative effect of additional applications could have an impact on regional capacity.
As this regional jurisdiction over extending sewer services is not well understood in the community,
the prospect of acquiring a property with both urban residential zoning and a sewer connection may
seem deceptively attractive to potential investors, who likely will not understand these servicing
constraints. As there are several ALR properties in this vicinity with urban residential zoning, it is
likely that this application will generate interest among these property owners. If successful, this
application will increase development pressures in the area.
e) Alternatives:
As this report has been prepared in accordance with Council direction for processing applications for
exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve, there is no specific recommendation for Council’s
consideration. However, Council may wish to consider the implications of forwarding this
application, as it may increase land speculation in the area, and undermine the intent of the
Agricultural Land Reserve. In addition, if this application is successful, a required next step would
be an application for sewer extension, which would be a responsibility of Council to advance.
- 9 -
CONCLUSION:
This application for exclusion from the Agricultural Land Reserve has been reviewed in light of the
property’s existing zoning, potential lot geometry, agricultural potential, and servicing considerations.
As this application would involve regional approvals if successfully removed from the Agricultural
Land Reserve, the policy implications involved with sewer extension have been discussed. The
report’s recommendations are in accordance with Council’s direction, and for this reason, a specific
recommendation has not been made.

Proposal
Introduction
My name is Eva Pozsar, I purchased my property at 12225 - 250st Maple Ridge BC in 2007. It is 0.987
ha and I bought it for the purpose of starting a poultry farm. My husband, Andrew Pozsar grew up on a
chicken farm, and it is his dream to be a chicken farmer again and I fully support him on that.
Back-round
After I purchased the property, it took us a few years to get ready for farming. We had to clear the
property, build a house, fence it, come up with a business plan and find investors. By 2016, we were
ready to start the project. Following the advice of industry experts, Cathy Erickson, BC Chicken
Marketing Board; Chris Zabek, Regional Agrologist; Gloria Chojnacki, BCFIRB; and Olga
Kolomyeychuk, Metro Vancouver; we completed a neighbourhood survey in January of 2017 on the
project, of which the survey results turned out to be disastrous. The neighbourhood immediately
became very angry about the farming proposal. We had no other choice but to temporary abandon our
farming plans in March 2017. Even long after we announced our plans publicly, not to go through with
the poultry farm, the bullying continued by our residential neighbours.
I strongly believe that the main components of our failed farming attempt are, the lack of buffering /
edge planing, by not separating agricultural land, from the residential neighbours. Also the lack of
special covenants on residential properties had a major negative affect. The unfortunate fact is that 11
years ago, when I purchased the property, there was a minimal buffer, that separated my agricultural
land from my residential neighbours. Unfortunately, the City of Maple Ridge allowed our residential
neighbours to completely destroy the buffer and build structures only 5 feet from the ALR boundary.
By now there is absolutely no separation between my farmland and my residential neighbours.
(see pictures, Exhibit “CC”)
The Proposal
My proposal is focusing not so much on what I want to do with the property upon a successful
exemption of the ALR, but rather how I can promote and protect farming in the surrounding area. I can
tell you from my own experience, and reading the Zbeetnoff Agricultural Report, Landscaped Buffer
Specification and Guide to Edge Planing, that I understand a buffer with a clear separation is a must for
successful agriculture. I could also tell you that notifying the residential property owners before they
buy their property with a special covenant is extremely important. Furthermore, a good fence and a
green belt is very helpful. My proposal is that upon a successful exemption from the ALR, I will build a
road with a sidewalk on the north side of my current property line with a fence and a green belt. That
separation is going to be at least 50 feet from the ALR boundary to the residential property line.
Currently it is zero. Once I complete the subdivision, I will put a special covenant on every building
lot, warning potential buyers that they are moving into a farming area where, noise, odour, dust, light,
and farm traffic occasionally occurs. (see sketches, Exhibits “I I”)
Special covenant
I’m in full agreement with the above mentioned publications from the ALC , Ministry of Agriculture,
and the Zbeetnoff Agricultural report for Maple Ridge and it’s findings on buffering.
I do believe that the special covenant is a very important part of a successful edge planing. Notifying
prospective residential buyers will ensure long term farm-ability for surrounding ALR parcels.
However the wording on the covenant “ accept farming activities “ does not go far enough in my view.
Accepting farming, simply means holding your nose and putting up with it. This is not good enough!
One must celebrate the fact that there is farming in the area. That is the only way to ensure, long-term,
peaceful farming activities on ALR land. The wording that I will put on the special covenant will
reflect this and therefore only, like-minded individuals will purchase their properties in this new
subdivision. People who understand support and appreciate farming. This will encourage and support
local ALR land owners to start farming their land, because no farmer should go through the stress,
bullying , harassment, legal and physical treats that my husband and I went through.
Green belt buffering
My plans are to install a fence and an evergreen buffer on the north and west side of my current
property line. The fence will prevent trespassing onto ALR land and the evergreens will provide the
necessary separation. This work will be done before I sell the individual building lots to builders /
developers to prevent any interference with the ALR neighbours. The evergreens will not only be
planted but also cared for by a local arborist company for at least 3 years to ensure their survival. I will
pay for that cost. I will also install a warning sign on the new street, advising people that they are
entering into an agricultural area, and their behaviour could negatively affect farming operations. I
believe that with these steps taken, we can ensure the right environment for farming on the ALR parcels
in this area. I strongly believe that in order for farming to succeed and do well, you must provide the
ideal environment. For example, a baby chicken in the ideal environment will grow to be a full-size
bird in 6 weeks. But if the environment is less than perfect, its not going to do well, or simply die.
Current zoning
At this time, I’d like to mention that the zoning of my property is RS1 single-family dwellings allowed
on 7,200 sf lots; Therefore, upon successful exclusion, no further public consultation is needed on the
municipal level. The property is also connected to the GVRD sewer system and an expansion of the
sewer line onto the new subdivision is likely that it will be approved by the GVRD. (Please see zoning
maps and supporting documents added, 9 pgs)
Construction
I will make it part of the contract with the builder / developer that they must install higher quality
windows and extra sound insulation in the walls to cut down on potential noise from farming
operations. I will also insist on locating the new structures to the back of the property as much as
possible to have maximum separation distance from ALR boundary.
Neighbourhood
This neighbourhood has changed quite a bit in the past 11 years. Many families moved here from
Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, North Vancouver, etc.
With that, it is increasingly becoming more and more urbanized. The fact is that these people move
next to land that is reserved for future farming under the ALR, but did not know and were not informed
about it since no covenant were in place. There are 14 out of my 17 neighbours, which are, single
family dwellings.
I’d also like to point out the close proximity to both elementary and high schools. The nearby schools
are only a couple of blocks away. The Garibaldi High school operates at approximately 75% capacity.
The Blue Mountain Elementary School operates at approximately 95% capacity. These numbers are
according to the survey in February, 2017.
Neighbours
Now I’d like to talk about the residents in this neighbourhood. Most of the residents do not care about
the fact that my husband is a disabled man and unable to get a job, even a volunteer job that he’s fully
qualified for. His only option for meaningful employment is to be self-employed, as a poultry farmer.
My husband is an experienced poultry farmer and he is capable to do so, successfully. As noted, there
were unexpected and somewhat, radical reactions by the neighbourhood concerning our plans for a
poultry operation. This was a very painful awakening for us.
Since our proposed farming plans most of our residential neighbours still refuse to talk to us, or even
say hi. Andrew’s friend, Mr. Phil Beall, overheard one of my neighbour, around March 2017, Mr. James
Allen of 12210 250 st Maple Ridge, as he was instructing his children “ don’t talk to them they are bad
people “ referring to my husband and I. Few days later his 7 years old daughter Sophia Allen told
Andrew, when her parents were not around, “daddy said not to talk to you anymore”. These are the
same children who would always say hi, and were coming over to my yard on the regular basis in the
past, to play with my goats.
The animosity got so out of hand that my husband received a death threat from one of the residential
neighbours. I had to spend thousands of dollars to upgrade my security camera system because we
feared for our lives. (see Exhibit “O”)
On a positive note, all of my ALR neighbours are very supportive of my exclusion application, and
they are all in favour of my proposal.
Our plans to start farming
The main reason for my exclusion proposal has very much to do with our plans to start farming poultry.
After a successful exclusion application and subdivision, I’m planning to purchase a per-existing
poultry barn in the Lower Mainland where we can finally start farming. This is our long-term dream, to
be able to grow food locally, for the local market. We are working with a Realtor, Nav Sekhon and have
been since June, 2017. Nav Sekhon is specialized in respect of farms in BC. We do trust his knowledge,
experience and expertise to find us the perfect farm. Andrew is staying in contact with the BC Chicken
Marketing Board (CMB) and spoke to Kathy Erickson again on Feb 13, 2018 . We are aware that even
in the case of purchasing a per-existing operation, it would have to be upgraded to current standards
before the BC CMB would allow the transfer of the quota, and I’m budgeting for that.
BC Farm Industry Review Board (BCFIRB)
In November of 2016, Andrew spoke to Gloria Chojnacki at the BCFIRB based on Kathy Ericksons
recommendation. Ms. Erickson warned Andrew about potential lawsuits from neighbours, and gave
couple of examples when farmers lost a lot of money due to lawsuits. Andrew wanted to find out if
other farmers were successful farming in similar settings such as my property, near to residential
neighbours and relative close proximity to schools.
Andrew was told by Gloria that she was not aware of any farmers successfully farming in a similar
setting. She did point out a case that involved a farmer in Saanich BC, who started a blueberry crop
farm, in a similar settings to my property, (surrounded by residential neighbours without buffer) but due
to noise complaints from the residential neighbourhood, he was forced to shut down his farming
operation. My understanding is, there was no buffer separating the blueberry farm from the residential
neighbours.
Closing
In closing I’d like to bring your attention to Exhibit “M”, e-mail #127. Mr. David O’Really of 24917 -
122 st of Maple Ridge, responds to our proposed poultry farm project, and echos the entire
neighbourhood’s opinion. “You have already caused a lot of pain and angst by proposing to place this
into a predominantly residential neighbourhood”. He also stated, “Just because you have the legal right
to take an action doesn’t make it right to take it”.
Jennifer Allen of 12210 250 st Maple Ridge writes,”You have said multiple times that you can go
ahead and do this because you are ALR. Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should
or that it’s right”. She also writes, “It is incredibly selfish on your part to disrupt this nice family
community”, and latter she added, “If this is your dream than why would you not buy a property in an
acceptable farming area. Not a residential area”. Exhibit “M”, E-mail #32.
I strongly believe that my property is not farm-able and not capable of any agricultural production for
the following reasons; Lack of special covenant for residential neighbours, lack of buffering and edge
planing on the residential side, unwelcoming and uneducated residential neighbours, poor soil and
drainage conditions and lack of support for farming from the City of Maple Ridge. As Nicole Jennings
writes “They don’t support it they just can’t stop it” Exhibit “M” E-mail #70. (Structural side set backs
on ALR land recently got increased by the City of Maple Ridge from 7.5meters to 15meters).
I’m asking you to please look at my proposal favourably, as in my opinion, it would be a clear benefit
to local agriculture, and it would give us a chance to finally start farming poultry. Please see Affidavit
of Andrew Pozsar and corresponding exhibits as our plans and circumstances are explained in detail.
Respectfully,
Eva Pozsar

SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7463-2018
24331 and 24315 110 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties located at 24331 and 24315 -
110th Avenue (see Attachment "A"), from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1d (One Family
Urban (Half Acre) Residential) to permit the subdivision of approximately 16 single-family lots not
less than 557m2 in size. The applicant intends to choose the Density Bonus option within the RS-1d
(One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential zone, which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-
family lot sizes of 557 m². To proceed further with this application additional information is required
as outlined below.
The Albion Area Plan designates the subject property as Low Density Residential and Conservation.
The proposed zoning of RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) is supported within the
Zoning Matrix. This Zoning Matrix supports a Density Bonus for RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre)
Residential) that will further permit 557m2 lots. The proposed application could result in a Density
Bonus Contribution of approximately $49,600.00. This application is also subject to the Community
Amenity Contribution (CAC) at a rate of $5,100.00 per lot.
Portions of the site have watercourses and steep slopes that are enviornmentally sentivies areas
that will be protected. As such, an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will be required to
adjust the conservation boundaries based on the ground truthing of the site.
The proposed development will be subject to the City Wide CAC program for residential lots and the
Albion Density Bonus Provision.
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.

- 3 -
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties are located in the Albion neighbourhood and are approximately 1.91 ha.
(4.72 acres) in total area (Appendix "A"). The subject properties front onto 110th Avenue; to the
north is vacant land that is currently under application (2017-434-RZ) (see Appendix "A") which is at
first reading to rezone the subject property to facilitate a single family development; to the west is
rural residential use; east is vacant land; and south is rural residential use. (See Appendix "B"). The
properties gently slope from the north/west to the south/east. Dunlop Creek is located at the north
end of the site (see Appendix "B"). The subject properties are designated Low Density Residential
and Conservation. The access for the proposed development will be from 110th Avenue.
c) Project Description:
The applicant has applied to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
to RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) with a Density Bonus through the Albion
Community Amenity Program to achieve RS-1b( One Family Urban(Medium Density) Residential)
sized lots to permit the subdivision of approximately 16 single-family lots not less than 557m2 in
size.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low Density
Residential and Conservation. The Conservation Designation identifies ecologically sensitive lands
that require protection in order to ensure that their health, diversity and integrity are maintained.
They are considered to be of high environmental or geological sensitivity. An OCP amendment is
required to adjust the conservation boundary to reflect ground truthing.
The Low Density Residential designation corresponds with a single detached housing form at a low
density urban standard with lots sized at 2,000m2.. Higher densities may be supportable in
compliance with the Density Bonus Program regulations prescribed in the Zoning Bylaw.
Albion Plan Policy 10.2.2 – is intended to meet the needs of the community and respond to changes
in housing form and demand over time by enabling an additional means of providing neighbourhood
amenities. The Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program provides the opportunity for a Density
Bonus within a number of zones identified with the Albion Zoning Matrix. Within these zones, ‘bonus’
density may be achieved through an Amenity Contribution toward community amenities that will be
located within the boundaries of the Plan Area.
The application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.
- 4 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at 24315 and 24331 –
110th Ave from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre)
Residential) (see Appendix "A"), with a Density Bonus, to permit future subdivision into approximately
11 single family lots (see Appendix "C" ).
The application of the Density Bonus, which is specific to the Albion Area Plan, will permit the
applicant to reduce the single-family lot size from the RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre)
Residential) base density of 2,000 m2 to 557 m2. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot for each
lot that is less than 2,000 m2 is required. As per Council direction, this application will also be
subject to the City-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program.
Any variations from the requirements of the Density Bonus zone of R-1b (One Family Urban Medium
Density) Residential) for lots less than 557 m² or from the requirements of the RS-1d (One Family
Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zone for lots greater than 2,000 m² will require a Development
Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an area
designated Conservation on Schedule “B”; and
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions and will be issued as a combined
Development Permit.

c) Project Description:
The applicant has applied to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
to RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) with a Density Bonus through the Albion
Community Amenity Program to achieve RS-1b( One Family Urban(Medium Density) Residential) to
permit the subdivision of approximately 11 single-family lots not less than 557 m2 in size
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low Density
Residential and Conservation.
The Low Density Residential designation corresponds with a single detached housing form at a low
density urban standard with lot sized at 2,000m2.. Higher densities may be supportable in
compliance with the Density Bonus Program regulations prescribed in the Zoning Bylaw.
The Conservation Designation identifies ecologically sensitive lands that require protection in order
to ensure that their health, diversity and integrity are maintained. They are considered to be of high
environmental or geological sensitivity.
The Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program provides the opportunity for a Density Bonus
within a number of zones identified with the Albion Zoning Matrix. Within these zones, ‘bonus’
density may be achieved through an Amenity Contribution toward community amenities that will be
located within the boundaries of the Plan Area.
The application is in compliance with the Official Community Plan.

Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 24387 – 110th Ave from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre) Residential) (see
Appendix "A"), with a Density Bonus, to permit future subdivision into approximately 11 single family
lots (see Appendix "C").
The application of the Density Bonus, which is specific to the Albion Area Plan, will permit the
applicant to reduce the single-family lot size from the RS-1d (One Family Urban (Half Acre)
Residential) base density of 2,000 m2 to 557 m2. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot for
each lot that is less than 2,000 m2 is required. As per Council direction, this application will also be
subject to the City-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program.
Any variations from the requirements of the Density Bonus zone of R-1b (One Family Urban Medium
Density) Residential) for lots less than 557 m² or from the requirements of the RS-1d (One Family
Urban (Half Acre) Residential) zone for lots greater than 2,000 m² will require a Development
Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an area
designated Conservation on Schedule “B”; and
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %;
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions and will be issued as a combined
Development Permit.
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.

Proposed Use of Property: Multi-Family Residential
Site Area: 0.405 ha (1.0 acres)
Access: 132nd Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property is located at 23627-132nd Avenue (Appendix "A") and is approximately 0.405 ha
(1.0 acres) in size with a single family residential house. As a condition of the rezoning the existing
single family residential house will need to be removed prior to final reading. To the north is a new
development of townhouses that is zoned RM-1 (Townhouse Residential); to the west is a single
family house; east is a townhouse development zoned RM-1 (Townhouse Residential); and to the
south is rezoning application 2015-373-RZ to rezone the subject property to RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) to faciliate 20 Townhouses.
c) Project Description:
The subject property is located in the Silver Valley Area Plan. The application is proposing a 20 unit
townhouse development; with parking in the form of double and tandem garage configurations. The
site fronts onto 132nd Avenue and the access is proposed from 132nd Avenue.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the OCP and
provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full
application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a further report will be
required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields,
OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development
permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the River Village Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan which
designates the subject property as Med/High Density Residential. The Med/High Density
Residential designation provides for densities in the range of 30 to 50 units per hectare in both a
detached and single family form. The proposed rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) complies
with the Med/High Density Residential designation within the Silver Valley Area Plan.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 23627- 132nd Avenue from RS-2
(One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to permit the development of
- 3 -
approximately 20 Townhouses. The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zone is 557m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require
a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to
ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that
meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses.
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:
A Multi-Family Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel
prior to Second Reading.
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) Building Department;
e) Parks Department; and
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.
- 4 -

Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7469-2018
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7195-2015
23616 132 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 23616 132 Avenue from
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) for a 16 unit townhouse
project and to R-1 (Residential District) for one lot to accommodate an existing single residential
dwelling being retained. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7195-2015 and
considered the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment on
January 13, 2016. The minimum R-1 lot size is 371 m2.
The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and R-1 (Residential District) zoning complies with the
policies of the Official Community Plan (OCP). However, an amendment to the OCP is required to
adjust the area designated Conservation around the watercourse / steep slope area to amend the
Conservation boundary for ground-truthing.
Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution
Program at a rate of $4,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit (16 units) and $5,100.00 per single
family lot (1 lot), for a total amount of $70,700.
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. 7469-2018 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. 7469-2018 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. 7469-2018 is consistent
with the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;

Accompanying applications:
2) Background:
The subject property, located at 23616 132 Avenue (see Appendices A and B), is
approximately 0.68 ha (1.68 acres) in size and is bound by single family residential lots to the
east and south, Upper Maple Ridge Park and 236 Street to the west and both single family and
multi-family to the north. The north eastern portion of the subject property is higher in
elevation and slopes down towards the southwest. There is an existing single family dwelling
located on the property that will be removed as a condition of final reading. There is also an
existing equestrian trail located on the south side of 132 Avenue in the road right-of-way.
A tributary of Maple Ridge Park Creek is located in the northeast corner and flows south across
the middle of the subject property. The creek will be dedicated as Conservation as a condition
of final reading. There are several trees throughout the property, with the majority being
located around the watercourse and the southwest property boundary.
3) Project Description:
The applicant is proposing a townhouse development consisting of 16 units on the west side of
Maple Ridge Park Creek and one single family residential lot on the east side of Maple Ridge
Park Creek. Each townhouse unit has three (3) bedrooms. Access to both the proposed
townhouse site and the single family lot will be off 132 Avenue.
Due to the location of Maple Ridge Park Creek, the applicant is proposing a panhandle lot for
the single family lot on the eastern portion of the development. The panhandle would be
required to reduce the disruption of the sensitive riparian area around the creek, and would
allow the development to be set further back on the property. Council Policy 6.02 indicates
that panhandle lots are permitted “when the lot would allow a subdivision to overcome a
clearly established topographic difficulty”. In this instance, Maple Ridge Park Creek bisects the
property; therefore, a panhandle lot can be supported. There are no other alternative
- 4 -
opportunities to access the single family lot and there will be no privacy concerns as a result of
the creation of the panhandle lot, as per Council Policy 6.02.
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the
OCP and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be
made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed
lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application
for further development permits.
4) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The development site is within the Silver Valley Area Plan and is currently designated
Med/High Density Residential and Conservation and is located in the River Village hamlet
boundary. The Med/High Density Residential designation provides for densities in the
range of 30 to 50 units per hectare in both a detached and single family form. The
proposed rezoning to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and R-1 (Residential District) complies
with the Med/High Density Residential designation within the Silver Valley Area Plan. The
balance of the property is designated Conservation in the Area Plan. As a result of ground
truthing, an amendment to the Conservation boundary is required. The single residential
property would be designed Low Density Urban.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-2 (One Family
Suburban Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) and R-1 (Residential District) to
permit the future development of 16 townhouse units and one single family residential lot.
The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is 557m2
(5,991 ft²) and for the R-1 (Residential District) zone is 371 m² (3,995 ft²).
iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The residential parking provided exceeds the minimum parking requirement. A total of 55
residential and three (3) visitor parking spaces, one (1) of which is designed as a disabled
parking space. A total of four (4) visitor parking spaces are required, however, the ample
residential parking justifies a reduction by one space.
A total of nine (9) townhouses contain 2 side-by-side garage parking spaces. Eight (8) of
these townhouses each have two (2) apron parking spaces. The remaining seven (7)
townhouse units each have two (2) tandem garage parking spaces with one (1) apron
parking space. Each of these units utilize the slope along 132 Avenue to allow a portion of
the roof of the forward portion of the sunken tandem garage to be a front porch element for
the front yards of each of these 132 Avenue facing townhouses.
iv) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves
the following relaxations (see Appendix D):
- 5 -
The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 1985, Section 602 RM-1 Townhouse Residential
District, sub-section 6 Siting clause a) is to be varied as follows:
For the front lot line setback (236 Street), the 7.5 metre requirement for Buildings 1
and 2 is reduced to 5. 5 metres to the face of the building.
For the front lot line setback (236 Street), the 7.5 metre requirement for Building 1 and
2 is reduced to 4.0 metres to the deck edges and structural posts.
For the exterior lot line setback (132 Avenue), the 7.5 metre requirement for Building 1
is reduced to 4.5 metres to the building face and to 3.0 metres to balcony edges and
structural posts.
For the exterior lot line setback (132 Avenue), the 7.5 metre requirement for Buildings
5 and 6 is reduced to 5.5 metres for the lowest level of the building and to 4.5 metres
to porch roof edges and structural posts.
For the interior lot line setback, the 6.0 metre requirement for Buildings 3 and 4 is
reduced to 4.5 metres to the balcony edges and structural posts.
The above requested variances will be the subject of a future Council report.
v) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is
required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible
housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring
land uses.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 and 8.10 of the OCP, a combined Watercourse Protection and
Natural Features 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 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Protection Development Permit application
is required to ensure protection of life and property in designated areas that could be at
risk for wildland fire.
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 May 16, 2018. (see Appendix
E and F)
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made
the following resolution that:
Landscape Comments:
1. Utilize different surfacing material for the parking spaces in front of Unit 5;
2. Consider additional CPTED measures given the reduced visibility into the Amenity
space;
3. Consider accommodating terraced seating in the amenity space, preferably combined
with the ramp;
4. Move the planting strip to the East side of the ramp adjacent to Unit 6.
- 6 -
5. Consider different style or material type of picket fence to reflect the modern style of
the building.
Architectural Comments:
1. Consider increasing the width of bathroom windows;
2. Consideration for Hardie reveals with window frames;
3. Consider framing transitions at material changes to articulate the massing;
4. Provide details for mailbox kiosk;
5. Provide building, landscape, and amenity lighting plans;
6. Confirm with the Fire Department that emergency vehicles can turnaround
requirements are satisfied;
7. Indicate location of Fire Department directional signage.
The ADP concerns are being addressed and will be reflected in the development permit
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.
vii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Yennadon School on June 6, 2018. One
person, a resident of Pitt Meadows, attended the meeting. There were no matters raised.
5) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
Road widening and corner truncation is required. Other requirements would be satisfied
though a Rezoning Serving Agreement.
ii) Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The lands to become a conservation area will be dedicated as parkland. A pedestrian trail
in accordance with Parks, Recreation and Culture Department standards is required.
iii) License, Permits and Bylaws Department:
The building and lot elevation for the single residential lot will need to consider the sewer
elevation to service the lot. Subject to in-depth assessment, a sanitary sewerage pump
system may be acceptable.
iv) Fire Department:
All applicable requirements will be assessed for compliance as part of the building permit
process.
6) School District No. 42 Comments:
Pursuant to Section 476 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42
is required at the time of preparing or amending the OCP. A referral was sent to School District
No. 42 and there were no comments in response
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
- 7 -
477 of the Local Government Act. The amendment required for this application 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.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7469-2018,
that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7195-2015, and that application 2015-
373-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

2) Project Description:
The applicant has applied to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (O ne Family Rural Residential)
zone to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone to facilitate the subdivision of the subject
property into two Suburban Residential lots. The applicant is proposing to retain the existing single
family residence, providing the existing dwelling can be sited in accordance with setback
requirements on the new lot.
- 3 -
There have been several rezonings in the area to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential). Appendix
“A” highlights the subject property under application as well as, the properties in the surrounding
neighbourhood that are zoned RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The surrounding neighbourhood and subject site are designated Suburban Residential within the
Official Community Plan. The Suburban Residential designation Zoning Matrix identifies that the RS-
2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone is a compatible zone within the designation. The subject
property is located outside of the Urban Area Boundary.
The following Official Community Plan policies support the rezoning of the subject property to RS-2
(One Family Suburban Residential) zone:
Section 3.1.3 Suburban Residential, describes Suburban Residential designation as
supporting single detached and duplex housing in areas outside the Urban Area
Boundary that may have water service but which are not connected to the municipal
sanitary sewer system.
Suburban Residential Policy 3-11 supports single detached housing on large suburban
lots. Lots sizes within this land use designation are generally 0.4 hectares in size.
The subject property has an onsite sewage disposal system and is serviced by City water.
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 could proceed accordingly.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current proposal under application is to rezone the subject property located at 12419 Garibaldi
Street from RS-3 (One Family Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit the
subdivision of the subject property into two lots with an approximate lot area of 0.40 hectares in
size. The RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone has a minimum parcel size of 0.40 hectares.
The current application has not proposed any variances to the Zoning Bylaw.
4) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required for all
development and subdivision activity.
5) Environmental Implications:
The subject property is located within the Wildfire Development Permit Area; therefore, a Wildfire
Hazard Assessment will need to be prepared by a Registered Forester in addition to an Arborist
Report prepared by a qualified Arborist will be required to fulfill the Tree Protection and Management
Bylaw. The report prepared by the Registered Forester will assess and provide recommendations on
how to mitigate wildfire hazards on the subject property. The Arborist Report will detail the number,
type and health of the trees on the subject property. These reports need to be coordinated between
- 4 -
the two professionals to prevent contradictions between the Wildfire Development Permit and Tree
Cutting Permit.
6)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
City sanitary or storm sewer are not available in the area; therefore, the applicant will have to install
an onsite sanitary sewage disposal system.
The City has a water line fronting the subject property. New water services will be required in
conjunction with the subdivision application for each lot. These new water services will be installed
by the City at the applicant’s expense.
ii)Fire Department:
The subject property is located within the Wildfire Development Permit area. The Fire Department
will review the plan for the Wildfire Development and if required make recommendations on ways to
fulfill the Development Permit Guidelines.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7451-2018, and that
application 2018-122-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

b) Project Description:
This development proposal is a mixed use commercial development with ren tal apartments above,
and a townhouse development is proposed concurrently on the subject site.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw and the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw establish general minimum
and maximum regulations for development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some
flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below (see Appendix C):
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services and
Utilities
To waive the requirement to underground BC Hydro and Telus infrastructure.
accordance with Council Policy 9.05 – Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility Wiring
to Underground Wiring.:
Existing overhead wiring is in place for Hydro and telephone lines along 240th Street and for
telephone lines along 112th Avenue. These variances are supported by the Engineering Department.
- 3 -
The subject property is within an exempted area under Council Policy 9.05. There is no intention to
underground the service at this location; therefore, no securities in lieu of undergrounding the utility
lines, are required.
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:
As the proposed variance is supported by the Engineering Department, it is therefore recommended
that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and
seal Development Variance Permit 2017-028-DVP.

to subdivide land within the City of Maple Ridge. A Development Variance Permit allows Council
some flexibility in the approval process.
The applicant is proposing to vary the minimum road carriageway width from 7m (23.0 ft.) to 6m
(19.7 ft.), to keep it as it is currently constructed. The existing road has adequate capacity and width
to serve the Single Family lot.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Engineering Department supports the variance as the existing road has adequate capacity and
width to serve the Single Family lot.
- 3 -
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance is supportable as the existing road has adequate capacity and width to serve
the Single Family lot.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2018-234-DVP.

1.0 BACKGROUND:
A review of the Zoning Bylaw regulations for DGS and Secondary Suites (SS) was initiated through
Council direction from the August 29, 2016 workshop. Public consultation on potential expanded
options for SS and DGS was undertaken in November 2017 with a DGS workshop and a SS and DGS
public open house. The outcomes of the public consultation were presented to Council at the
February 6, 2018 workshop, wherein exploration of a pilot project was initiated through a Council
resolution.
Council endorsed a process and timeline for the DGS Pilot Project at the May 1, 2018 workshop. The
project is intended to create tangible examples to showcase the following:
Secondary Suite and a DGS on the same lot;
DGS size to be a minimum of 20.3m2 (219 ft2); and
DGS size to be up to 140m2 (1500 ft2) or 15% of the lot area, whichever is less.
- 3 -
The process and timeline for the DGS Pilot Project is shown in the diagram below.
At the June 19, 2018 Workshop Meeting, Council directed staff to prepare Zone Amending Bylaws
for the four test cases identified in the DGS Pilot Project Look -Book conceptual document. The Look-
Book includes details on each test case, property owner profiles, site plans, and conceptual
elevations.
While the intent of the DGS Pilot Project at the outset was to enable the construction of tangible
examples of DGS units, no feasible examples of the option for a 20.3m2 (219 ft2) came forward by
the confirmation deadline and as such, the following two options will be showcased through this
project:
Allow a Secondary Suite and a DGS on the same lot; and
Allow a DGS size to be up to 140m2 (1500 ft2) in size or 15% of the lot area, whichever is
less.
Also at the June 19th Workshop Meeting, Council directed staff to undertake a second phase of the
DGS Pilot Project providing more time to identify possible test cases of:
Small DGS unit, between 20.3m2 (219 ft2) and 36m2 (387 ft2);
Large DGS unit, up to 15% of the lot area within the urban area on a lot size between 557m2
(5,995 ft2) and 900m2 (8,611 ft2);
SS and DGS within the urban area.
Work on the second phase of the DGS Pilot Project will commence imminently.

2.0 DISCUSSION
The May 1, 2018 Council report discussed the requirement for text amendments to the Zoning Bylaw
for each of the participating properties in order to permit constructing a DGS that does not conform
to the existing regulations. In the same report a Housing Agreement Bylaw was discussed , including
an outline for the content. Each Bylaw is discussed further below.
2.1 Text Amendment to Zoning Bylaw
Separate bylaws have been created for each of the four Pilot Project test cases so that Council has
the option to consider each independently for First and Second Readings. Table 1 below contains the
proposed text amendments for each of the test case properties:
Table 1: Proposed Amendments to Zoning Bylaw
Address DGS Pilot Option DGS Siting Building Height
1. 26378 – 126th Avenue 140 m2 (1500 ft2) unit None Up to 7.5 metres (6.0 metres
currently permitted)
2. 23525 Dogwood Avenue 140 m2 (1500 ft2) unit Front Yard None
3. 12621 Ansell Street 140 m2 (1500 ft2) unit Exterior
Side Yard
Up to 7.5 metres (6.0 metres
currently permitted)
4. 10861 Morrisette Place DGS size 47.6m2 (512
ft2) and SS on same lot
None DGS is proposed over a
garage with maximum height
up to 6.5 metres (4.5 metres
currently permitted).
For test cases #1 and #3, the property owners intend to construct their DGS units over a garage,
which is permitted on these RS-2 zoned properties at an allowable maximum height of 6.0 metres. In
order to construct a pitched roof to integrate some style to the structure (as opposed to a more flat
roof), each of these property owners is proposing a height increase to 7.5 metres in height.
Discussions have been ongoing with the property owners of test case #4 in terms of providing
parking on this 588m2 RS-1b lot and the most efficient option to accommodate parking for the SS
and the DGS is to allow the DGS to be constructed over a garage at the rear of the property , which is
currently not permitted. The current site plan provides space for a driveway aisle along the side of
the property to rear to access the garage. The property owner is proposing a shed roof for the DGS
unit with the low end facing the rear property line, with a maximum building height of 6.0 metres,
and the highest end facing the principal dwelling unit, with a maximum building height of 6.5 metres.
Currently, for a DGS unit in the RS-1b zone the regulations permit a maximum building height of 4.5
metres.
2.2 Housing Agreement Bylaws
Within the existing regulations for a secondary suite or DGS, property owners are required to have
a covenant registered on title stating that the property owner lives on the property and that one
parking stall must be provided and maintained for the use of occupants of the accessory dwelling
unit.
- 5 -
In a similar vein for the DGS Pilot Project, a Housing Agreement Bylaw has been prepared for each
participating property that requires each property owner’s agreement to various conditions
including:
Owner occupancy requirement for property owner to reside on site;
Prohibiting the use of the DGS as a tourist accommodation;
Requiring one on-site parking stall be maintained for the DGS unit (and also one for the
SS on Morrisette Place);
The timely preparation and iteration, at the property owner’s cost of building permit plans
submitted to the City;
Adherence to the DGS Pilot Project timeline in order to process all housing agreement and
text amendments concurrently;
Facilitating transfer of ownership of the building permit plans to the City for other Maple
Ridge residents to use as pre-approved building plans;
Commencing construction of the DGS immediately upon adoption of the text amendment
to the Zoning Bylaw and building permit issuance with the aim to have all DGS pilot
projects completed at approximately the same time;
Allowing public tours of the constructed DGS for Council and the community for
approximately two months prior to receiving final occupancy;
Use of images and their story in ongoing web and print media to further showcase the
pilot project outcomes.
3.0 NEXT STEPS
Should Council consider and give First and Second Reading to the Zone Amending Bylaws, they will
be scheduled for the July 17, 2018 Public Hearing so that Third Reading may be considered by
Council on July 24, 2018. The Housing Agreement Bylaws are also attached to this report for First,
Second and Third Reading, as they do not require a Public Hearing. As such, Final Reading of the
Housing Agreement Bylaws will be brought to Council for consideration with Final Reading of the
Zone Amending Bylaws.
If the Zone Amending Bylaws receive Third Reading in July, the participating property owners may
begin preparation of their building permit plans in order to meet an application deadline set for
August 20, 2018. Achieving this deadline will provide the Building Department with sufficien t time to
process each application by mid-September and allow the Bylaws to be brought back to Council for
final reading and adoption on October 9, 2018. Building permit plans will not be issued until Bylaw
adoption and then each property owner will be required to commence construction with a completion
deadline of March 2, 2019. A schedule for the DGS tours is anticipated to be available and promoted
in early 2019.
4.0 INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS
It is anticipated that Planning staff will continue working on the DGS Pilot Project with the Building,
Engineering, and Fire Departments to respond to participant inquiries, review applications, and work
through the regulatory process towards construction of each DGS Pilot Project unit.
- 6 -
5.0 CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that in order to proceed with the next steps involved in the DGS Pilot Project, the
Zone Amending Bylaws discussed in this report be given First and Second Reading and forwarded to
Public Hearing; and that the Housing Agreement Bylaws discussed in this report be given First,
Second, and Third Reading.

SUBJECT: 22270 128 Avenue – Request for Sanitary Service Connection Outside Urban
Containment Boundary
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY;
The owners at 22270 128 Avenue are in the preliminary stages of a building permit application to
construct a new single family dwelling on the property in addition to the existing mixed-use building
as permitted by zoning. The property is outside the Urban Containment Boundary (UCB) although
the existing mixed use structure is serviced with a municipal sanitary service connection that was
installed in 2006.
Under the current Metro Vancouver regulations any extension or amendment of sanitary servicing
(including on-site changes in use or capacity) to properties outside of the UCB requires approval of
the Metro Vancouver GVS&DD Board. Applications require a municipal Council resolution prior to
consideration by the Board, as identified in the Metro Vancouver Implementation Guideline #7.
The additional dwelling does not represent a significant change in the sanitary capacity requirement
and does not increase the pressure to provide sanitary services for development properties outside
of the UCB and as such the application can be supported under Section 2.3.2 of Implementation
Guideline #7.
It is recommended that Council support the request to seek approval from Metro Vancouver to
provide a sanitary service connection to the additional dwelling proposed for the property.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the request to provide a sanitary service connection to 22270 128 Avenue be supported and
forwarded to the Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District Board for consideration.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The owners at 22270 128 Avenue are in the preliminary stages of a building permit
application to construct a new single family dwelling on the property in addition to the
existing mixed-use building as permitted by zoning. The property is outside the Urban
Containment Boundary (UCB) although the existing mixed use structure is serviced with a
municipal sanitary service connection that was installed in 2006.

Under the current Metro Vancouver regulations any extension or amendment of sanitary
servicing (including on-site changes in use or capacity) to properties outside of the UCB
requires approval of the Metro Vancouver Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District
(GVS&DD) Board. Applications require a municipal Council resolution prior to consideration
by the Board, as identified in the Metro Vancouver Implementation Guideline #7.
The additional dwelling does not represent a significant change in the sanitary capacity
requirement and does not increase the pressure to provide sanitary services for development
properties outside of the UCB and as such the application can be supported under Section
2.3.2 of Implementation Guideline #7.
b) Desired Outcome:
That Metro Vancouver approve the owners request for a sanitary service connection to the
regional collection system. The service connection shall be sized to accommodate a capacity
no greater then necessary to service the proposed dwelling.
c) Alternatives:
Not supporting the request would prevent the applicant from connecting to the regional
collection system and require construction of a septic field.
CONCLUSIONS:
The application to seek Metro Vancouver approval to connect to the regional sewer system is
consistent with Section 2.3.2 of Metro Vancouver’s Implementation Guideline #7, represents a
minimal increase to the sanitary flows and does not result in any decrease in the service levels of the
existing sanitary sewer system. As such it is recommended that Council support the request and
that the application be forwarded to Metro Vancouver for consideration and approval.

SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No.7468-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The purpose of this report is to present the Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw
No.7468-2018 (Appendix I) to amend the fine schedule to coincide with the amendments to the Maple
Ridge Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw and the new Maple Ridge Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw.
The Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No.7456-2018 has been prepared in
response to the adoption of amendments to the Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw and to the
adoption of the new Maple Ridge Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw. As these amendments include new
sections as well as renumbering of old sections, the fine schedule in the Ticket Utilization Bylaw must
change in order to maintain consistency with both bylaws.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No.7468-2018 be given first, second
and third readings.
DISCUSSION:
Staff continually review City of Maple Ridge bylaws to ensure that they are current and consistent. When
changes are made to one bylaw it can affect complementing bylaws. In this case, it was determined that
some significant amendments needed to be made to the Soil Deposit Bylaw. As the Ticket Information
Bylaw is a vehicle for compliance measures with any City bylaw, the sections must coincide exactly. The
new Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw requires a new fine schedule to be added to the MTI Bylaw in order
to achieve compliance with this new bylaw.
CONCLUSIONS:
Maple Ridge Ticket Information Utilization Amending Bylaw No.7456-2018 ensures that there are
appropriate measures for dealing with infractions of both the Maple Ridge Soil Deposit Regulation Bylaw
and the Maple Ridge Wildlife and Vector Control Bylaw.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Mayor and Council of the City of Maple Ridge
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the City of Maple Ridge, which
comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at December 31, 2017, and the
Consolidated Statements of Operations, Change in Net Financial Assets and Cash Flow for the year then
ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal
control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from
material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers
internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for
the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly in all material respects, the
financial position of the City of Maple Ridge as at December 31, 2017 and its results of operations,
changes in net financial assets and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with Canadian
public sector accounting standards.

under the provisions of the Community Charter. The City provides municipal services such as fire,
public works, planning, parks, recreation and other general government services.
(a)(a)(a)(a) Reporting Entity and Basis of ConsolidationReporting Entity and Basis of ConsolidationReporting Entity and Basis of ConsolidationReporting Entity and Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Canadian Public Sector
Accounting Standards (PSAS) using guidelines developed by the Public Sector Accounting
Board of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada.
They consolidate the activities of all of the funds of the City and the City's wholly owned
subsidiaries C.D.M.R. Developments Ltd. and Maple Ridge Municipal Holdings Ltd.
Transactions between the City's funds and wholly owned subsidiaries have been eliminated
and only transactions with outside entities are reported.
(b)(b)(b)(b) Basis of AccountingBasis of AccountingBasis of AccountingBasis of Accounting
The basis of accounting followed in these financial statements is the accrual method and
includes revenues in the period in which the transactions or events occurred that gave rise to
the revenues and expenses in the period the goods and services were acquired and a liability
was incurred.
(c)(c)(c)(c) Non4financial AssetsNon4financial AssetsNon4financial AssetsNon4financial Assets
Non4financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in
the provision of services. They have useful lives extending beyond the current year and are
not intended for sale in the ordinary course of business.
(d)(d)(d)(d) Tangible Capital AssetsTangible Capital AssetsTangible Capital AssetsTangible Capital Assets
Tangible capital assets are a special class of non4financial assets and are recorded at cost
less accumulated amortization. Cost includes all costs directly attributable to acquisition or
construction of the tangible capital asset including transportation and installation costs,
design and engineering fees, legal fees and site preparation costs. Amortization is recorded
on a straight line basis over the estimated life of the tangible capital asset commencing once
the asset is put into use. Assets under construction are not amortized. Contributed tangible
capital assets are recorded at fair value at the time of the contribution and are also recorded
as revenue.
Estimated useful lives of tangible capital assets are as follows:
Buildings (including building components)7 to 50 years
Transportation network 10 to 75 years
Storm sewer system 10 to 75 years
Fleet and equipment 8 to 20 years
Technology 3 to 25 years
Water system 10 to 85 years
Sanitary sewer system 30 to 75 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 to 20 years
Structures 15 to 75 years

Tangible capital assets do not include works of art or historical treasures. Costs related to the
acquisition of such items are expensed in the year in which they are acquired.
(e)(e)(e)(e) Liability for Contaminated SitesLiability for Contaminated SitesLiability for Contaminated SitesLiability for Contaminated Sites
Contaminated sites are a result of contamination being introduced into air, soil, water or
sediment of a chemical, organic or radioactive material or live organism that exceeds an
environmental standard. Liabilities are recorded net of any expected recoveries.
A liability for remediation of a contaminated site is recognized when a site is not in productive
use and the following criteria are met:
i. an environmental standard exists;
ii. contamination exceeds the environmental standards;
iii. the City is directly responsible or accepts responsibility;
iv. it is expected that future economic benefits will be given up; and
v. a reasonable estimate of the amount can be made.
The liability is recognized as management's best estimate of the cost of post4remediation
including operation, maintenance and monitoring that are an integreal part of the remediation
strategy for a contaminated site. Management has assessed its potential liabilities for
contamination, including sites that are no longer in productive use and sites for which the City
accepts responsibility. There were no such sites that had contamination in excess of an
environmental standard requiring remediation at this time, therefore no liability was
recognized at December 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
(f)(f)(f)(f) Revenue RecognitionRevenue RecognitionRevenue RecognitionRevenue Recognition
TaxationTaxationTaxationTaxation
Taxes are recorded at estimated amounts when they meet the definition of an asset, have
been authorized and the taxable event occurs. Annual levies for non4optional municipal
services and general administrative services are recorded as taxes for municipal services in
the year they are levied. Taxes receivable are recognized net of an allowance for anticipated
uncollectable amounts. Levies imposed by other taxing authorities are not included as taxes
for municipal purposes.
Through the British Columbia Assessments' appeal process, taxes may be adjusted by way of
supplementary roll adjustments. The effects of these adjustments on taxes are recognized at
the time they are awarded.
User fees and other revenueUser fees and other revenueUser fees and other revenueUser fees and other revenue
Charges for sewer and water usage are recorded as user fees and other revenue.
Government transfersGovernment transfersGovernment transfersGovernment transfers
Government transfers are recognized as revenue in the financial statements when the
transfer is authorized and any eligibility criteria are met, except to the extent that transfer
stipulations give rise to an obligation that meets the definition of a liability. Government
transfers are recorded as deferred revenue when transfer stipulations give rise to a liability
and are recognized in the statement of operations as the stipulated liabilities are settled.

date of receipt and are also recorded as revenue.
(g)(g)(g)(g) Use of estimates/measurement uncertaintyUse of estimates/measurement uncertaintyUse of estimates/measurement uncertaintyUse of estimates/measurement uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian PSAS requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Significant areas requiring use of management
estimates relate to the useful lives of tangible capital assets, determination of employee
future benefits, the outcome of litigation and claims, and the percentage of completion of
buildings and subdivision inspections. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Municipal services have been segmented by grouping services that have similar service
objectives (by function). Revenues that are directly related to the costs of the function have
been attributed to each segment. Interest expense is allocated to functions based on the
purpose of specific borrowings.
(m)(m)(m)(m) Employee future benefitsEmployee future benefitsEmployee future benefitsEmployee future benefits
The City and its employees make contributions to the Municipal Pension Plan, and the
employees accrue benefits under this plan based on service. The City's contributions are
expensed as incurred. (Note 19)
Sick leave benefits and retirement severance benefits are also available to the City's
employees. The costs of these benefits are actuarially determined based on service and best
estimates of retirement ages and expected future salary and wage increases. The liabilities
under these benefit plans are accrued based on projected benefits prorated as the employees
render services necessary to earn the future benefits. (Note 10)

2.2.2.2. Portfolio InvestmentsPortfolio InvestmentsPortfolio InvestmentsPortfolio Investments
Portfolio investments include Canadian bank notes and BC Credit Union term deposits with effective interest rates
of 1.65% - 2.91%. A portion of the bank notes held have interest payments linked to the performance of a set of
equities or a financial index without stated or certain interest rates. For these investments, income is recognized
as it is received; in 2017 returns were positive and ranged to 3.64%. Included in interest earnings are gains on
investments sold before maturity. In 2017 gains were $71,498 $71,498 $71,498 $71,498 ($0 for 2016). The City does not hold any asset
backed commercial paper or hedge funds.
The carrying value of securities is based on the cost method whereby the cost of the security is adjusted to reflect
investment income that is accruing and any permanent decline in market value. During the term of individual
investments there will be fluctuations in market values. Such fluctuations are considered normal, and if held to
maturity, market value will be equal to face value.
The carrying value of Portfolio Investments at December 31, 2017 was $187,717,851$187,717,851$187,717,851$187,717,851 ($158,579,174 for 2016).

The City provides interim financing for certain geographically localized capital projects. It recovers these amounts
from benefiting property owners. Interest rates are established at the outset of the process and are a function of
borrowing rates at the time. Repayment is typically made over fifteen years.

Debt Reserve Fund:
The Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia (MFA) provides capital financing for regional districts and their
member municipalities. The MFA is required to establish a Debt Reserve Fund. Each regional district, through its
member municipalities who share in the proceeds of a debt issue, is required to pay into the Debt Reserve Fund
certain amounts set out in the debt agreements. The MFA pays into the Debt Reserve Fund these monies from
which interest earned thereon less administrative expenses becomes an obligation to the regional districts. It must
then use this fund, if at any time there are insufficient funds, to meet payments on its obligations. If this occurs,
the regional districts may be called upon to restore the fund.
Upon the maturity of a debt issue the unused portion of the Debt Reserve Fund established for that issue will be
discharged to the City. The City has estimated that there is only a remote possibility that these funds will not be
paid to it and therefore these funds have been included in Other Assets of $763,208$763,208$763,208$763,208 ($779,296 for 2016).

The City holds shares in a non-profit organization that provides protective services to its members. Should the
organization dissolve or management choose to withdraw from the organization the City would be liable for a
proportionate share of any debt the organization held at that time. The liability is expected to be discharged
over time through payments by the City and others for the provision of these services by the organization.
Due to the ongoing operations of the organization the liability could only be quantified if the City chose to
withdraw. Consequently no liability has been recognized in these financial statements.

10.10.10.10. Employee Future BenefitsEmployee Future BenefitsEmployee Future BenefitsEmployee Future Benefits
The City provides employee future benefits in the form of severance benefits and vested and non-vested sick leave
to qualifying employees. These benefits are not separately funded.
Severance benefits are cash settlements paid to employees who cease their employment with the City after a
specified period of time. Employees hired before February 11, 1999 qualify for five days pay per year of
employment, provided they either work a minimum of 20 years with the City or retire as defined by the Public
Sector Pension Plan Act. Full time employees hired after February 11, 1999 qualify for 20 days pay provided they
work a minimum of 10 years with the City and retire as defined by the Public Sector Pension Plan Act.
The City permits regular employees to accumulate up to 18 days per year of service for future illnesses up to a
maximum of 250 days. For certain qualifying employees a portion of this benefit vests; for the balance, this benefit
does not vest and cannot be converted to any other type of benefit.
An actuarial valuation of these benefits was performed to determine the City's liability and accrued benefit
obligation as at December 31, 2015 and updated for December 31, 2017. The valuation resulted in an
unamortized actuarial loss of $364,900 $364,900 $364,900 $364,900 ($398,200 for 2016) at December 31, 2017. Actuarial gains or losses
are amortized over the expected average remaining service life of employees. The benefit liability at December 31,
2017 was $4,567,300$4,567,300$4,567,300$4,567,300 , ($4,704,700 for 2016) comprised as follows:

19.19.19.19. Pension PlanPension PlanPension PlanPension Plan
The employer and its employees contribute to the Municipal Pension Plan (a jointly trusteed pension plan). The
board of trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for administering the plan, including
investment of assets and administration of benefits. The plan is a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan.
Basic pension benefits are based on a formula. As at December 31. 2016, the plan has about 193,000 active
members and approximately 90,000 retired members. Active members include approximately 38,000
contributors from local governments.
Every three years, an actuarial valuation is performed to assess the financial position of the plan and adequacy
of plan funding. The actuary determines an appropriate combined employer and member contribution rate to fund
the plan. The actuary's calculated contribution rate is based on the entry-age normal cost method, which produces
the long-term rate of member and employer contributions sufficient to provide benefits for average future entrants
to the plan. This rate may be adjusted for the amortization of any actuarial funding surplus and will be adjusted for
the amortization of any unfunded actuarial liability.
The most recent valuation for the Municipal Pension Plan as of December 31, 2015, indicated a $2,224 million
funding surplus for basic pension benefits on a going concern basis. As a result of the 2015 basic account
actuarial valuation surplus and pursuant to the joint trustee agreement, $1.927 million was transferred to the rate
stabilization account and $297 million of the surplus ensured the required contribution rates remained
unchanged.
The City of Maple Ridge paid $3,436,295$3,436,295$3,436,295$3,436,295 (2016 $3,440,174) for employer contributions while employees
contributed $2,817,284$2,817,284$2,817,284$2,817,284 (2016 $2,778,065 ) to the plan in fiscal 2017.
The next valuation will be as at December 31, 2018, with results available in 2019.
Employers participating in the plan record their pension expense as the amount of employer contributions made
during the fiscal year (defined contribution plan accounting). This is because the plan records accrued liabilities
and accrued assets for the plan in aggregate, resulting in no consistent and reliable basis for allocating the
obligation, assets and cost to individual employers participating in the plan.

REPORT: Youth Wellness Centre Lease Agreement and Update Page 1 of 2
Date: June 26, 2018
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: June 26, 2018
and Members of Council DOC NO: 1973445
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Youth Wellness Centre Lease Agreement and Update
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Staff recommend a two-year extension to the Youth Wellness Centre (YWC) Pilot Project lease that
was entered into by Council and Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Community Services (MRPMCS) on
October 25, 2016, to allow more time for MRPMCS to raise funds for the YWC Capital Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Youth Wellness Centre lease agreement with Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Community
Services be renewed for an additional two-year period ending on October 31, 2020.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
On October 25, 2016, Council entered into a pilot program with MRPMCS to establish a YWC
for the community, which included an in-kind lease agreement for space in the GMYC. Since
this time, MRPMCS has grown the services and care offered to youth in Maple Ridge through
a substantial annual operating grant from Foundry.
On July 11, 2017, Council directed staff to investigate the feasibility and cost of constructing
a purpose-built YWC adjacent to the GMYC. The responding report of December 5, 2017,
included a concept plan and Class “D” funding estimates, and resulted in Council directing
staff to work with MRPMCS and the Foundry to explore a funding model for this project.
On March 27, 2018, Council approved the donation of land valued at approximately
$500,000 adjacent to Greg Moore Youth Centre, and a cash contribution of $500,000
contingent on MRPMCS securing the additional funding required. To date MRPMCS has
confirmed an additional $750,000, and is set to kick off a capital funding campaign in
September 2018 with an additional $250,000 secured for 2019. However, with full capital
funding not yet achieved MRPMCS and Foundry representatives are also exploring options to
decrease capital costs and bring this project closer to realization. As a result, the facility
design is being reviewed for opportunities to reduce the footprint originally presented to
Council in December 2017. Once the review is done, this will be brought back to Council. In
the interim, MRPMCS representatives advised that having the pilot operating model in place
enables them to provide more information to prospective donors help to secure additional
funding for this project.

REPORT: Youth Wellness Centre Lease Agreement and Update Page 2 of 2
Date: June 26, 2018
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is that MRPMCS can continue to serve Maple Ridge youth through the
YWC at GMYC until it is able to secure the necessary funding to evolve to a full Foundry site
through construction of a purpose-built facility.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This project aligns with recommendations in the Maple Ridge Youth Strategy adopted in
2017, and the City’s support to date towards the development of a YWC.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The YWC has successfully reduced wait lists for Maple Ridge youth and added numerous
more partnerships, and served over 400 local youth. The momentum continues to build, and
interruption of these services could pose unnecessary hardship to the families involved. By
renewing the lease, the City can support the continuation of this enhanced level of support
for youth experiencing mental health and substance use challenges.
CONCLUSIONS:
Our two-year partnership with MRPMCS on the YWC pilot project has enhanced youth wellness
services and decreased wait times for local youth and their families. Key components to supporting
youth wellness include sustainable funding, strong and committed service providers, an accessible
location and consistent provision of services. The extension of this agreement would support
uninterrupted service for our youth until a permanent solution is achieved, and by developing an
operating model now, the City can support MRPMCS in achieving their capital funding requirements.

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: December 5, 2017
and Members of Council FILE NO:
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Youth Wellness Centre Concept and Funding Estimate
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At the July 11, 2017 Council meeting, Council directed staff to investigate the possibility and cost of
constructing a Youth Wellness Centre adjacent to the Greg Moore Youth Centre.
Staff secured the services of HCMA Architects to develop a Youth Wellness Centre concept drawing
and a class “D” cost estimate.
HCMA Architects consulted with the partners in this project, Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows
Community Services (CS), The Youth Wellness Centre Steering Committee and the Foundry and has
confirmed; the building site adjacent to the Greg Moore Youth Centre and Maple Ridge Leisure
Centre is suitable and can accommodate a 9,000 ft2 Youth Wellness Centre (with some shared
space) at an estimated cost of $4.2M to $4.6M.
At this time a capital funding model has not been identified, however, the local Foundry Centre (The
Youth Wellness Centre) will receive $500,000 annually in provincial funding for operations as well as
approximately $400,000 through government and philanthropic funds for initial establishment costs.
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff be directed to work with Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Community Services and the
Foundry to explore a funding model for the Youth Wellness Centre Concept referenced in the report
dated December 5, 2017.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
In 2016, surveys were conducted with youth, emerging adults, parents and other adults
through the Strong Kids Team and the Maple Ridge Youth Strategy Project. Information
gathered from these surveys indicated that substance use and mental health concerns
among youth ranked highest by both the adult and youth respondents. Consequently,
recommendations in the Youth Strategy identified the creation of a Youth Wellness Centre as
a priority.
2
As noted in a May 16, 2016 report to Council, the Ridge Meadows Child and Youth Mental
Health Substance Use Collaborative (the Collaborative), supported by the Division of Family
Practice and CS, has been working towards the development of such a centre. On May 16,
2016 Council approved the allocation of $10,000 in seed money to the Collaborative to
complete the funding needs necessary to begin the pilot phase of the Youth Wellness Centre.
Currently, a Youth Wellness Centre pilot is operating out of the Greg Moore Youth Centre for a
total of 20 hours/week under a two year lease with the City of Maple Ridge.
Recently, the Collaborative, under the umbrella of CS, secured ongoing funding of $500,000
to operate as a Foundry site as well as approximately $400,000 through government and
philanthropic funds for initial establishment costs.
At the July 11, 2017 Council meeting, staff was directed to investigate the possibility and
cost of constructing a Youth Wellness Centre adjacent to the Greg Moore Youth Centre. Staff
secured the services of HCMA Architects to determine the feasibility of an addition to the
Greg Moore Youth Centre and to develop a building concept and costing estimates.
HCMA Architects and their costing consultants have confirmed the building site adjacent to
the Greg Moore Youth Centre and Maple Ridge Leisure Centre can accommodate a 9,000 ft2
(which includes shared space) Youth Wellness Centre at an estimated cost of $4.2M to
$4.6M based on a Class “D” costing estimate (page 12 of the report) which includes:
• contingency funding;
• pricing based on Q4 2017 lower mainland dollars with a two-year escalation; and
• a presumed standard project delivery system.
HCMA provided two options that support the feedback received from stakeholder groups
(City staff, CS staff, the Youth Wellness Centre staff/Board Members, Maple Ridge Youth
Council and Foundry staff). Based on this consultation and site constraints, staff and HCMA
Architects have selected Option #1A as the preferred option (see drawings attached).
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is that Council is fully informed to consider a purpose built youth
wellness facility adjacent to the Greg Moore Youth Centre and that youth and families get
access to life-changing health care, mental health and addictions services as part of a one
stop youth services continuum.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This project aligns with recommendations in the Maple Ridge Youth Strategy and with the
City’s support to date towards the development of a Youth Wellness Centre.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Children, youth and their families would have increased and timely access to services in the
areas of mental health and substance use. A full service permanent Youth Wellness Centre
will provide local support and treatment options for residents of Maple Ridge. It will also
provide opportunities to build resiliency in children, youth and their families.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Various departments work with the Parks, Recreation & Culture department on new facility
projects including Planning, Engineering, Building, Clerks, Communications and Finance.
3
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
If this project moves forward, a funding source and the City’s contribution will need to be
confirmed. The total capital costs are $4.2M to $4.6M.
g) Alternatives:
That the City gives direction to Community Services to find an alternate location.
CONCLUSIONS:
There is a demonstrated need for enhanced mental health and addiction services for children and
youth in the community. The achievement of the Maple Ridge Youth Wellness Centre (Foundry) pilot
project has been a significant community success to date. The continued community collaboration
will assist in evolving the Youth Wellness Centre into a sustainable full time model.

Surrounding neighbours include The ACT Arts Centre, Maple Ridge Public Library, WorkBC and the City of Maple Ridge.• Civil review indicates that water line and or storm/sanitary lines may need to be re-routed in order to accommodate the new facility. A civil survey should be conducted to determine exact location of services.Further studies required at next stage include:• A transportation and parking study will be required to determine parking demand and whether existing underground parking will be sufficient.• Seismic study is needed to determine any requirements.• A contractor should be consulted to investigate sequencing to ensure continued operation of the existing leisure centre throughout construction.
CONCEPT DESIGN | NOVEMBER 2017p. 5Site StrategyMaple Ridge Youth Wellness CentreSITE LAYOUT OPTIONSTwo main site layout options were developed to take into consideration the major site constraints including underground civil services, existing emergency exits from adjacent buildings, and connection to the existing Greg Moore Youth Centre.Option 1Option 1A and 1B re-route existing fire exits from the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre to the west along the building's south wall, to allow the new building to internally connect to the existing Youth Centre. Option 1A is the most optimal layout, while Option 1B is set back from underground civil services to prevent the need for relocation.Pros• Strong internal connection to the existing Greg Moore Youth Centre allows for shared and integrated program use as well as sight lines from reception into both youth centres• Increased outdoor area to the west will allow for outdoor programming• Need for fire rating emergency exiting on one side of building onlyCons• Increased length of emergency exit route means more buildable area is requiredOption 2Option 2A and 2B re-route existing fire exits from the existing Maple Ridge Leisure Centre using the shortest route possible. Option 2A is the most optimal layout, while Option 2B is set back from underground civil services to prevent the need for relocation.Pros• Decreased length of emergency exit route increases buildable areaCons• Internal connection to the existing Greg Moore Youth Centre is not possible• Decreased internal sight lines from reception into both youth centres• Courtyard space between youth centres creates both fire rating challenges as well as CPTED safety concerns; this space is not programmable as it serves as emergency egress. The Preferred OptionSite layout Option 1A was chosen as the favored option. This option reduces the complexity of fire rating emergency exiting; allows for an interior connection to and shared programmatic use with the existing Youth Centre; and offers the most functional programmatic layout.Above: Site Layout Option 2A and 2BAbove: Site Layout Option 1A and 1B7
MAPLE RIDGE COMMUNITY & RECREATIONAL FACILITIESp. 6PROGRAMThe program was developed in consultation with City and Foundry staff. A baseline program list was provided by the Foundry and HCMA worked with city staff to refine program and determine program sharing opportunities between the new Youth Wellness Centre and the Greg Moore Youth Centre. The Youth Centre has a demonstration kitchen and multipurpose room, as well as office spaces that can be repurposed as two meeting rooms to the needs of the Youth Wellness Centre. These spaces will be shared between the centres, but will need renovation. The diagram on this page illustrate the key program components and the full area schedule can be found in the appendix.ParkingA parking study will be required to determine demand and whether existing underground parking is sufficient to meet the Youth Wellness Centre needs.Client Areas 3,070 sq.ft / 285 sq.m• Reception / General office• Waiting Area• Peer Youth & Family Support Office• Counselling / Talking Rooms• Meeting / Activity Room (Repurposed)• Multipurpose Room (Renovated, Shared)• Demonstration Kitchen (Renovated)Clinical Support Spaces 1,915 sq.ft / 180 sq.m• Medical Exam Rooms• Medical SupportStaff Support Spaces 1,475 sq.ft / 135 sq.m• Open Plan Workstations• Staff Lounge / Lunchroom• Staff Washroom & ShowerService Spaces 450 sq.ft / 40 sq.m• Janitors Closet• Laundry • Waste Holding Room• General StorageGross Up 2,075 sq.ft / 190 sq.m• Circulation• Walls / Structure• Washrooms• Mechanical / Electrical Rooms

MAPLE RIDGE COMMUNITY & RECREATIONAL FACILITIESp. 8WATER LINESTORMSANITARYPROPERTY LINEThe Concept Layout is a further development of site layout option 1A. It transforms what is currently vacant and unprogrammed pedestrian lane into an active and friendly frontage with high levels of transparency, programmable outdoor spaces, and new landscaping towards the west and the south. The building entry is oriented toward the west, allowing youth a discreet and separate entrance from the Greg Moore Youth Centre. Foundry provided precedent plans for youth wellness centres which were referenced for typical layout planning. The reception, washrooms, client storage, family meeting rooms and vertical circulation are centrally located around the client waiting area. This space will meet a variety of seating and social needs. The waiting area is also internally connected to the Greg More Youth Centre to take advantage of shared program opportunities, such as meeting rooms (repurposed from office/client rooms) and a multipurpose room and kitchen that will be renovated. Staff workstations are located in an open-plan office behind the reception on the west side of the building. This active frontage will address existing CPETD safety issues in the pedestrian lane, which is currently un-monitored. A patio surrounded by enhanced landscaping is accessed from the staff work area, allowing the programming of the space to extend to the outdoors. Client talking and counseling rooms are located at the back for privacy and share circulation with the staff work area, increasing layout efficiency and functionality.Enhanced exterior lighting will be required to ensure the entrance to the centre is identifiable and well-lit. Additionally, the lighting along the entire length of the pedestrian corridor between Haney Place Mall and Greg Moore Youth Centre and the Maple Ridge Youth Wellness Centre will need to be upgraded to enhance CPETD safety. The existing water line running east-west will either need to be re-routed or modified to allow for future maintenance. The same applies to the storm and sanitary supply to the existing leisure centre. The existing gas line and meter will also need to be relocated. A civil engineer will need to be consulted to determine the full extent of the works.Coordination will also be required with the Leisure Centre; retro-fit vents are planned for the south wall and modifications may be required to accommodate the Youth Wellness Centre.CONCEPT LAYOUT GROUND LEVELAbove: Ground Level PlanLevel 1 Area = 3820 sq. ft.

Code of Conduct
1. Purpose:
The City of Maple Ridge has a responsibility to establish expectations of youth conduct in
community based youth centres owned and operated by the City of Maple Ridge. Responsibility
for youth behavior and conduct of youth is shared among youth, City of Maple Ridge staff and
parents in order to create a safe, caring and orderly environment. To support these aims, the City
of Maple Ridge has established a Code of Conduct for youth that shall be followed in all youth
centres.
2. Responsibilities:
City staff are responsible for consistently supporting and applying the Code of Conduct and
establishing a positive climate in which structure, support and encouragement assist youth in
developing a sense of self-discipline and responsibility. City staff are required to inform
participants, volunteers, community partners and the community about the Code of Conduct and
its expectations.
Youth are responsible for respecting the rights and dignity of others free from discrimination as
set out in the BC Human Rights Code and becoming actively and productively involved in their
own learning and social growth.
Parents/Guardians and all other adults working with youth in City facilities are responsible for
knowing and supporting the City’s Code of Conduct, and encouraging youth to understand and
follow its expectations.
3. Expectations:
(a) The City of Maple Ridge believes that acceptable behaviors and conduct are fostered in a
positive climate in which:
all youth feel safe, valued and trusted, and have the opportunity to develop, assume and
maintain responsibility and self-motivation;
all youth feel supported without fear of retaliation in reporting unsafe conditions, actions
or potential incidents;
there is a joint effort to learn and a feeling of mutual respect among staff, youth and
parents;
appropriate behavior is taught, encouraged, modeled, practiced, and acknowledged,
thereby increasing youth self-respect and positive social behaviors;
disciplinary action, wherever possible, is preventative and restorative, rather than solely
punitive;
disciplinary action is considerate of youths with special needs if these youths are unable
to fully comply with the code of conduct due to a diagnosed disability of an intellectual,
physical, sensory, emotional or behavioral nature.
expectations for youth behavior increase as they become older and more mature;
(b) The City of Maple Ridge believes that acceptable youth conduct, based on respect for
oneself, respect for others, and respect for property is essential to the development of
responsible citizens. To this end, youth are expected to:
Attachment 3
19 | P a g e
respect the rights of all persons within the City including peers, staff, parents and
volunteers;
refrain from lying, cheating, stealing;
work cooperatively with others;
respect the legitimate authority of City staff;
respect all City property, including buildings and equipment;
respect the diversity of our City community;
behave in a safe and responsible manner at all times;
refrain from any behavior that would threaten, harass, bully1, intimidate, assault or
discriminate against, in any way, any person within the City community on or off City
property;
refrain from being in possession of or under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol in all
City facilities or on City grounds or at City sponsored functions and activities;
refrain from being in possession of weapons of any kind in City or at City activities;
refrain from inappropriate computer and/or multi-media device usage in accordance with
City policies (cell phones, cameras, etc.).
Any breach of the Code of Conduct is unacceptable. Youth are encouraged to inform a
responsible adult when becoming aware of any infraction of the Code of Conduct.
4. Notification:
The area manager will ensure that each Youth Supervisor, in consultation with staff, parents and
youths (when appropriate), establishes a code of conduct for their Youth Centre that is consistent
with the Code of Conduct and which reflects the provincial standards.
The City’s Code of Conduct and a summary of the City’s policies on Suspension, Banning, Re-
admittance, Possession of Weapons and Explosives, Drugs and Alcohol shall be communicated
to all staff annually.
Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and/or other relevant legislation,
it may be necessary to advise other parties of serious breaches of the Code of Conduct.
5. Consequences:
Youth will be disciplined in a timely and fair manner and such discipline shall be in accordance
with City policies on Suspension, Banning, and Re-admittance.
Youth, while attending City-sponsored functions and activities, shall be subject to the Code of
Conduct. Youth may be subject to discipline under the Code of Conduct for any conduct which
has the effect of negatively impacting the environment, whether that conduct occurs on or off
City property, at a City-sponsored function or activity, or elsewhere.
Serious breaches of conduct that threaten the safety and welfare of others will be referred
directly to the Area Manager.

TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: June 26, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 1931345
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Cottonwoods Child Care Centre Lease Renewal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Starting Blocks Childcare, doing business as Cottonwoods Child Care Centre, has requested that
their lease of the multipurpose room at the Planet Ice facility be renewed for a period of three years
with an option to renew at the end of the lease. The child care provider has met all of the obligations
of their current lease to date, and is relied on for child care services by 45 children and their families
living in the Albion/Kanaka neighbourhood.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Cottonwoods Child Care Centre lease agreement be renewed for an additional three-year
period ending on June 30, 2021, with an option to renew.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Cottonwoods Child Care Centre has been operating in Maple Ridge for 19 years. The
company provides child care for families with children attending both the regular school
schedule and the year-round curriculum. The site is 560 square feet and located on the 2 nd
floor of Planet Ice. It is shared space that the City of Maple Ridge has access to outside the
child care hours. Cottonwoods Child Care Centre holds a secondary lease with RG Properties
(owner of Planet Ice) to operate a complementary service on the first floor of the same
building. Between the two spaces, families have access to licensed all day child care and
before and after school programming.
b)Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to continue to make use of the multipurpose space in Planet Ice
during non-peak day time hours, while ensuring that child care services remain available for
residents in the Albion/Kanaka neighbourhood.
c)Strategic Alignment:
Renewing the Cottonwoods Child Care Centre lease aligns with the Parks, Recreation and
Culture Master Plan objective to continue the provision of programs for children in the
community.

REPORT: Cottonwoods Child Care Centre Lease Renewal Page 2 of 2
Date: June 26, 2018
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Nearby residents will benefit from the uninterrupted and ongoing availability of child care
service in their neighbourhood.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The lease renewal aligns with the City’s practice of regular, modest rent increases to ensure
that rates remain current and avoid significant impact to the tenant and wider community.
The proposed rate would increase from $6.75 per square foot to $7.00 per square foot.
Section 4(s) of the lease addresses potential renvoations taking place at the Planet Ice
facility and implications to the tenant.
CONCLUSIONS:
Cottonwoods Child Care Centre provides child care services for 45 children and their families, and
has met all of the obligations of their lease to date. Staff recommends renewing the lease for a
three-year term, with the option to renew for an additional three years in 2021.

REPORT: Albion Community Centre Operating Model Page 1 of 3
Date: June 26, 2018
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: June 26, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 1972659
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Albion Community Centre Operating Model
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
At Council Workshop on January 23, 2018, Council directed staff to facilitate a conversation with
School District No. 42 (SD42) and the YMCA of Greater Vancouver to explore the feasibility of a tri-
party agreement with the City of Maple Ridge for the operation of the Albion Community Centre
(ACC) on a joint park/school site in Albion. Initial discussions between the parties have now taken
place.
Staff recommend that the City proceed with extending an Expression of Interest to operate the ACC,
and that the YMCA be invited to participate; and, that a task group that includes SD42 and City staff
be formed to explore whether or not a tri-party arrangement is the best model for this opportunity.
RECOMMENDATION:
That staff conduct a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the operation and program servicing of
the Albion Community Centre; and further
That a Task Group composed of City of Maple Ridge and School District No. 42 staff be formed under
the 2017 Master Agreement on Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination of
Services to develop a recommendation regarding a tri-party agreement for the operation of the
Albion Community Centre.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
SD42 is a significant partner in the operation of joint park/school sites such as the South Albion
Elementary School and the Albion Community Centre location. This collaborative model aligns
with the Master Agreement on Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public Facilities and Coordination
of Services which delivers operating efficiencies and enhances services to the community.
Given this relationship and the benefits that it delivers, Council directed staff to explore the
feasibility of a tri-party agreement with SD42 regarding the potential for the YMCA to operate the
Albion Community Centre (ACC) on January 23, 2018.
As Council is aware, the City of Maple Ridge uses a variety of models to operate sport,
recreation and cultural facilities including direct operation by City staff as well as contracted
operating agreements with not-for profit organizations and businesses that have expertise in a
1153
REPORT: Albion Community Centre Operating Model Page 2 of 3
Date: June 26, 2018
particular service area. The City engages contract services when it provides an added benefit to
citizens.
A tri-party relationship between an operator, SD42 and the City, may provide a beneficial
structure to enhance the level of service that an operator is able to provide to the community.
For example, any special arrangements that would benefit students of South Albion Elementary
or the community would be defined in a tri-party agreement. This may include access to the
school gymnasium and classrooms for specific hours or other arrangements that would enhance
programming opportunities. For clarity however, neither the City nor SD42 are obligated to
participate in a tri-party agreement. If the City determines that the best operating model for the
community center is through a different agreement structure, the City has the ability to elect to
do so.
The intent of a Task Group is to ensure a rich dialogue with SD42 to explore all opportunities to
maximize programming and services to the community, in order to identify the best model for
staff to recommend to Council following the conclusion of the EOI process and the Task Group
discussions.
When selecting an operator for the ACC, a competitive procurement process is required in
order to meet the City’s procurement policy as well as the Federal International Trade
Agreement. To meet this obligation, staff recommends that the City utilize a call for
Expressions of Interest and that the YMCA be invited to participate. On conclusion of the EOI
process, a Request for Proposals process might also be considered if additional information
is required. Whether or not this is needed will depend on the EOI submissions. If a second
step is recommended, the decision to do so will be brought back to Council.
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to select an operating model for ACC that best meets the
programming needs identified through the community consultation process and that
maximizes community benefits.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This project aligns with the City of Maple Ridge Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan,
and with the 2017 Master Agreement on Cooperation for the Joint Use of Public Facilities
and Coordination of Services. The project is also consistent with the City’s Official
Community Plan and Albion Area Plan, and reflects information gathered through two
community engagement processes.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The selection of a suitable operating model for the Albion Community Centre is critical to
ensuring that community programming needs are met and that the full range of opportunities
to serve the community from this facility are achieved. This may include an enhanced level of
service to students of the new South Albion Elementary School, families in the vibrant and
growing Albion neighbourhood, and citizens throughout Maple Ridge.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
$600,000.00 per annum is included in the City’s operating budget to address operating
costs for the ACC.
CONCLUSIONS:
REPORT: Albion Community Centre Operating Model Page 3 of 3
Date: June 26, 2018
Should Council endorse the recommendation in this report, staff will initiate a call for Expressions of
Interest. Following the EOI process, discussions will take place within the SD42/City Task Group to
explore the benefits that a tri-party agreement may offer. Following that, staff will report back to
Council.
