SUBJECT: Rescinding First Reading of Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7450-2018
First Reading of Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7485-2018
11780 Burnett Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property, located at 11780 Burnett Street,
from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit subdivision of the
subject property into two single-family lots.
When this application was first received in March 2018, the applicant sought rezoning to RT-1 (Two
Family Urban Residential) to permit the development of a duplex. The Zone Amending Bylaw No.
7450-2018 to support the duplex received first reading from Council on May 8, 2018. However,
since this time, the applicant has decided to revise the application and prefers to seek rezoning to
R-1 (Residential District) to allow subdivision into two single-family lots.
The density of the two proposed single-family lots is the same as the previously proposed duplex.
Furthermore, the single-family housing form is similar and compatible with the surrounding houses.
Therefore, this report recommends that Council rescind the previous zone amending bylaw for the
duplex, and give first reading to a new Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7485-2018 to permit the R-1
(Residential District) zone.
One of the two single-family lots is subject to a $5,100 charge as part of the Community Amenity
Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31 as updated December 12, 2017.
To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below.

DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
Applicant: Jasminder Bajwa
Legal Description: Lot 103, Section 17, Township 12, New Westminster District
Plan 41319
OCP:
Existing: Urban Residential
Proposed: No change
Zoning:
Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Proposed: R-1 (Residential District)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
South: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
East: Use: Single-Family Residential
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Urban Residential
West: Use: Vacant (under application 2017-035-RZ for apartments)
Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Designation: Low-Rise Apartment
Existing Use of Property: Single-Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single-Family Residential
Site Area: 817 m2 (0.2 acres)
Access: Burnett Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property, located at 11780 Burnett Street, is a rectangular shaped lot that is 817 m2
(0.2 acres) in size (see Appendix A). The subject property and surrounding lots to the north, east and
south are characterized by single-family dwellings of one to two storeys in height. The subject
property is located on the eastern edge, but just outsid e of the Town Centre Area Plan. The existing
house on the property will require removal as part of the rezoning approval. The subject property is
relatively flat with a few trees spread across the lot (see Appendix B).
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit its subdivision into two single-family lots (see
Appendix C). The density of the two proposed single-family lots is the same as the duplex that was
previously proposed by this applicant.
- 3 -
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Urban Residential. The Major Corridor Residential Infill policies of
the OCP apply because the subject property is located along Burnett Street, a collector road. No OCP
amendment is required to support the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zoning.
The Major Corridor Residential Infill policies require that development be compatible with the
surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design, setbacks and lot
configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. On this basis, compatibility of the
current application is achieved as follows:
Is similar in density and compatibility as the duplex previously granted first reading by Council on
the subject property;
Proposes housing form similar to adjacent single-family lots; and,
Serves as transition between low rise apartment buildings on the west side of street and lower
density housing to the east.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 11780 Burnett Street
from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit a two lot subdivision
and construction of two single-family dwellings. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 zone is
668 m2, while the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 zone is 371 m2. No variations from the
proposed R-1 zone are required at this stage. However, any variations from the requirements of the
proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning, as the single detached residential dwellings
proposed by this application are exempt from the Development Permit Area Guidelines.
Advisory Design Panel:
This application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel because a Form and
Character Development Permit is not required.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is proposing less than 5 dwelling units.
- 4 -
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) Building Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
2. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
g) Alternative:
Should Council prefer the original duplex proposal, Council may choose not to rescind Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7450-2018 and allow the applicant to proceed with the duplex. In this case,
Council should deny first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7485-2018 for the R-1 (Residential
District) rezoning.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the Major Corridor Residential Infill policies of the
OCP. The proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is similar in density and compatibility as the duplex
which had previously been granted first reading on this subject property. Therefore, it is
recommended that Council rescind Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7450-2018 for the duplex, and grant
first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7485-2018 for the proposed R-1 rezoning, subject to
additional information outlined in this report being provided and assessed prior to second reading.

Designation: Urban Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Site Area: 0.17 ha (0.42 acres)
Access: Rear Lane
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property, located at 12121 232 Street, is approximately 1,700 m2 (0.42 acres) in area
(see Appendix A). The subject property and surrounding lots are characterized by one or two storey
single family dwellings (see Appendix B). The subject property is relatively flat with a few trees
located along the 232 Street frontage (see Appendix D).
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit subdivision into three single family lots (see
Appendix D). The application proposes to continue the lane from the north to provide rear access to
the three proposed lots.
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 Urban Area Boundary, east of the Town Centre and north
of Dewdney Trunk Road. It is currently designated Urban Residential. No OCP amendment is
required to support the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zoning.
The development of the property is subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP because i t
is located on 232 Street, an arterial road. These policies require that development be compatible
with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design setbacks and lot
configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area.
- 3 -
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 12121 232 Street from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit a three lot single family
subdivision. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 zone is 668 m2, while the minimum lot size
for the proposed R-1 zone is 371 m2.
Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning, as the single detached residential dwellings
proposed by this application are exempt from the Development Permit Area Guidelines.
Advisory Design Panel:
This application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel because a Form and
Character Development Permit is not required.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is proposing less than 5 dwelling units.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Fire Department;
c) Building Department;
d) Parks Department;
e) School District; 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.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as re quired by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); and
2. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
- 4 -
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council
grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second
reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must

City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: September 18, 2018

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7486-2018
12294 Laity Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit a two lot subdivision of two single family residential
lots. This application is in conformance with the Major Corridor Infill policies of the Urban Residential
designation within the Official Community Plan.
One of the two single family lots is subject to a $5,100 charge as part of the Community Amenity
Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31 as updated December 12, 2017.
To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7486-2018 be given first reading; and
That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B and E of the
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with a Subdivision application.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Applicant: Pavan Rakhra
Legal Description: Lot 2, District Lot 248, Group 1, New Westminster District Plan
14302
OCP:
Existing: Urban Residential
Proposed: No change
Zoning:
Existing: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential)
Proposed: R-1 (Residential District)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single family dwelling
Zone: RS-1
Designation: Urban Residential

- 2 -
South: Use: Single family dwelling
Zone: RS-1
Designation: Urban Residential
East: Use: Single family dwelling
Zone: RS-1
Designation: Urban Residential
West: Use: Single family dwelling
Zone: RS-1
Designation: Urban Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single family dwelling
Proposed Use of Property: Two single family dwellings
Site Area: 887 m2 (0.22 acres)
Access: Laity Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject property, located at 12294 Laity Street, is a rectangular shaped corner lot that is
approximately 887 m2 (0.22 acres) in size (see Appendix A). The subject property and surrounding
lots are characterized by one or two storey single family dwellings in a well established residential
neighbourhood (see Appendix B). The subject property is flat with no trees on it.
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit the subdivision into two single family lots (see
Appendix D).
At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official
Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will
need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and a
further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot
boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for
further development permits.
d) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Urban Area Boundary west of the Town Centre and north
of Dewdney Trunk Road. It is currently designated Urban Residential. No OCP amendment is
required to support the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zoning.
The development of the property is subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP because it
is located on Laity Street, a collector road. While the R-1 zone will allow smaller lots than the
surrounding RS-1 zoned properties, the future single family dwellings on these two lots would not
significantly alter the character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The use of the R-1 zone on this
development site is consistent with the OCP.
- 3 -
However, Policy 3-21 of the OCP states that development should respect and reinforce the physical
patterns and characteristics of established neighbourhoods, with particular attention to site design,
setbacks, and building massing, among other considerations. In the case of this particular
application, further consideration of maximum building height may be warranted. The houses located
to the west and north of the development site are one and two storeys, and approximately 5 m to 8
m in height. The houses to the south and southeast are newer, two storey homes with basements
that are around 10 m in height. This compares to the 11 m maximum height currently allowed by the
proposed R-1 zone, as well as in all of the City’s current single family and duplex zones.
Council has also recently been considering new infill zones that propose maximum building heights
of 9.5 m. In July 2018, Council considered the creation of a new, 450 m2 residential infill zone, and
has been considering the new RT-2 (Ground-Oriented Residential Infill) zone for triplexes, fourplexes
and courtyards over the last year. Both new zones propose a 9.5 m maximum building height. The
reduced height was recommended in order to allow infill projects to be more compatible with older,
existing homes in established residential neighbourhoods.
Therefore, noting that the neighbourhood around the development site appears to be sensitive to the
height of new infill developments, should Council wish to limit the height of new houses in this
development application, a covenant can be applied to restrict the maximum building height to 9.5
m. This would be in line with the new infill zones being created, and can enhance neighbourhood
compatibility.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 12294 Laity Street from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit a two lot single family
subdivision. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 zone is 668 m2, while the minimum lot size
for the proposed R-1 zone is 371 m2. The proposed subdivision will create two lots approximately
409 m2 (4,402 sf) in size, which is greater than the minimum area required.
The applicant will be requesting a variance to the lot width requirement of the R-1 zone, from 12.0 m
to approximately 11.47 m for the new lots, a variance of 0.53 m. The proposed variance will be
considered as part of a Development Variance Permit application that will accompany this rezoning
application.
Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning, as the single detached residential dwellings
proposed by this application are exempt from the Development Permit Area Guidelines.
Advisory Design Panel:
This application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel because a Form and
Character Development Permit is not required.
Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is proposing less than 5 dwelling units.
- 4 -
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Fire Department;
c) Building Department;
d) Canada Post.
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second reading.
f) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed, the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B);
2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E);
3. A Subdivision Application.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, therefore, it is recommended that Council
grant first reading subject to additional information outlined in this report be provided and assessed
prior to second reading.
The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations
governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must
be approved by the City of Maple Ridge’s Approving Officer.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 13589 232 Street, from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit a future subdivision of
approximately five lots. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7387-2017 and
considered the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment on
October 10, 2017. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is
8,000 m² (2 acres) and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is 371
m² (3,993 ft²).
This application requires an amendment to the OCP to re-designate the land use from Eco Clusters
to Conservation and Low/Medium Density Residential. This OCP amendment can be supported as
the five lots fall within the density range of both the Low/Medium Density Residential designation
and the Eco Clusters designation. An amendment to the OCP is also required to adjust the area
designated Conservation around the watercourse.
Pursuant to Council Policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution
Program at a rate of $5,100.00 per single family lot, for an estimated amount of $25,500.00.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That, in accordance with Section 475 of the Local Government Act, opportunity for early and on-
going consultation has been provided by way of posting Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw
No. 7391-2017 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a Development
Information Meeting (DIM), and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any further
consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw;
2)That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7391-2017 be considered in conjunction with
the Capital Expenditure Plan and Waste Management Plan;

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2)Project Description:
The subject property, located at 13589 232 Street, is located on the south-west corner of 136
Avenue and 232 Street and slopes from east to west towards Cattell Brook (see Appendices A and
B). There is an existing single family dwelling located on the eastern side of the property, and several
trees located on the western half of the property.
The property to the north of the subject property is currently under application for a townhouse
development of approximately 54 units, and the property to the east is currently under application
for a single-family development of approximately 10 lots.
The applicant is proposing to rezone the property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1
(Residential District) to allow the future subdivision of approximately five single family lots. As the
subject property is located within 50 m (164 ft.) of the top of bank of a watercourse and contains
some slopes greater than 15%, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features Development Permit
is required.
- 4 -
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the Blaney Hamlet of the Silver Valley Area Plan in the OCP. A
strip along the western property line is designated as Conservation, the north half of the property is
designated as Low/Medium Density Residential and the south half of the property is designated as
Eco Clusters. The Low/Medium Density Residential designation is intended to provide 15 to 40
units per hectare, and will be located adjacent to schools, commercial uses, and civic uses. The Eco
Clusters designation is intended to allow for a group of housing units, condensed within clearly
defined limits, surrounded by open space and linked to other parts of the Silver Valley community by
a single local road. Eco Clusters are intended to provide development opportunities in sparsely
developed or rural areas, in a cluster form which support sensitive implementation, minimal site re -
grading and tree clearing, and integration of housing into a forest setting. A n Eco Cluster includes
varying levels of density, ranging from 5 to 15 units per hectare, in the form of single family and/or
multifamily units; however, due to the property’s proximity to the Hamlet Centre, a density of 15 units
per hectare is appropriate.
The five lots on this property result in a density of 12.5 units per hectare, which falls within the
density range of both the Low/Medium Density Residential designation and the Eco Clusters
designation. Staff are proposing an OCP amendment for housekeeping reasons to make the
designation boundary consistent with the zone boundary, and a Conservation boundary adjustment
is required (see Appendix C). This OCP amendment can be supported, as it is administrative in
nature and would not impact an Eco Cluster development from occurring to the south.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
Zoning Bylaw No. 7387-2017 was given first reading on October 10, 2017, with the intent to rezone
to the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. The proposed subdivision and
Zoning Bylaw have since been amended to the R-1 (Residential District) zone, to allow for the
required road dedication and maintain the original proposal of five lots (see Appendices D and E).
Variances are being requested, as discussed below.
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following variances (see Appendix F):
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510–1985, Part 6, Section 601C. REGULATIONS FOR THE SIZE,
SHAPE AND SIZING OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, (11) Buildings and Structures for
One Family Residential Use in the R-1 zone, (c) (i), to reduce the front yard setback from
5.5 m (18 ft.) to 4.5 m (14.8 ft.)
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510–1985, Part 6, Section 601C. REGULATIONS FOR THE SIZE,
SHAPE AND SIZING OF BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES, (11) Buildings and Structures for
One Family Residential Use in the R-1 zone, (c) (ii), to reduce the rear yard setback from
8.0 m (26.2 ft.) to 6.0 m (19.7 ft.)
-5 -
Zoning Bylaw No. 3510–1985, Schedule D – Minimum Lot Area and Dimensions, to
reduce the minimum lot depth from 24 m (78.7 ft.) to 22 m (72.2 ft.) for proposed lots 4
and 5.
Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800 – 1993, City of Maple Ridge
Design and Construction Documents – Part 4: Supplementary Standard Detail Drawings:
To reduce the minimum road Right-of-Way for a Silver Valley Local 1 road from 13.0 m
(42.7 ft.) down to 12.0 m( 39.4 ft.).
The requested variances will be the subject of a future Council report. Note that the requested
variances for the front and rear setbacks are not required for the creation of the lots, but will impact
the size of the home that can be built on proposed lots 4 and 5. Should Council not support the
setback variances, the homes can be designed to comply with the regulations of the R-1 (Residential
District) zone.
iv)Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The applicant will need to provide two parking spaces per dwelling unit, as per the Off-Street Parking
and Loading Bylaw No. 4350–1990, and will need to comply with Section 403 (7) of the Zoning
Bylaw, which states that there needs to be 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) of visual clearance at an intersection with
a street, preventing the construction of any fence, wall, or structure within that distance. Section
401 (3) of the Zoning Bylaw also prohibits a driveway that is within 7.5 m (24.6 ft.) of the point of
intersection of an exterior side lot line with a front lot line or rear lot line.
v)Development Permits:
Pursuant to Sections 8.9 and 8.10 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection and Natural Features
Development Permit application has been received to ensure the preservation and protection of the
natural environment of Cattell Brook and the adjacent slopes. The developer will provide restoration,
enhancement and replanting works as required, and a security will be taken as a condition of the
issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Development Permit Area guidelines are met.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required for all
development 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. An application for the Wildfire Development Permit has been received. Adherence of this
project to the guidelines will be the subject of a future report to Council and a security will be taken
as a condition of the issuance of the Development Permit to ensure that the Wildfire Development
Permit Area guidelines are met.
vi)Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required and therefore this application does not
need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
-6 -
vii)Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Yennadon Elementary School on July 12, 2018. Six
people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the attendees
was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:
There were some traffic concerns from residents to the west, with the development
having access off of 136 Avenue.
There were concerns with speeding on 136 Avenue, a resident requested a four-way stop
at the intersection of 230A Street and 136 Avenue.
One resident would have liked to have seen higher density at this location.
The following are provided in response to the issues raised by the public:
The applicant responded that the traffic generated from this development would likely
head east to 232 Street, so would have little impact on the residents to the west.
The installation of a four-way stop would need to be justified by a warrant review. Current
traffic patterns in this area suggest that a four-way stop at this location would not be
warranted.
The proposed density complies with the OCP land use designation for the property.
viii)Parkland Requirement:
As there are more than two additional lots proposed to be created, the developer will be required to
comply with the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to
subdivision approval.
For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as park on the subject
property and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of final reading.
4)Environmental Implications:
The Environmental Assessment, the Arborist Report, the Geotechnical Report, the Wildfire Hazard
Assessment, and the Stormwater Management Plan have been reviewed. The Registered
Professional Forester will be coordinating their recommendations with the environmental consultant,
civil engineer, and arborist to ensure the environmental objectives are achieved.
Restoration measures with a cost estimate and security deposit are required, including a five-year
maintenance period.
5)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
The Engineering Department has identified that all the services required in support of this
development do not yet exist. It will be necessary for the owner to enter into a Rezoning Servicing
Agreement and provide the securities to do the required work in that Agreement. Required servicing
will include:
Curb and gutter, sidewalk, road drainage, storm system, street lighting, and street trees,
will be required for the new 231A Street frontage. Upgrades will also be required for the
-7 -
existing 136 Avenue. These could include, but not be limited to: road widening, curb and
gutter, sidewalk, street lights, street trees and road drainage. Improvements on 232
Street are currently being constructed as part of the City’s 232 Street Road and Drainage
Improvement Project.
Servicing will need to fit within the proposed reduced road Right-of-Way width for 231A
Street for this proposed subdivision to be approved in its current form.
ii)Parks & Leisure Services Department:
The Parks Planning and Development Section has reviewed the development application and
supports the proposed trail connection along the western property line.
iii)Fire Department:
The Fire Department reviewed the Wildfire Hazard Assessment and found it acceptable.
6)External Agency Implications:
i)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. The School District responded on April 9,
2018 and September 4, 2018, with the following information:
“The proposed application would affect the student population for the catchment areas currently
served by Yennadon Elementary and Garibaldi Secondary School.
Yennadon Elementary has an operating capacity of 635 students. For the 2017-18 school year, the
student enrolment at Yennadon Elementary is 571 students (91.34% utilization) including 130
students from out of catchment.
Garibaldi Secondary School has an operating capacity of 1050 students. For the 2017-18 school
year, the student enrolment at Garibaldi Secondary School is 748 students (71% utilization)
including 258 students from out of catchment.”
7)Intergovernmental Issues:
i)Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to
adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 477 of the Local
Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to make the designation boundary
consistent with the zone boundary and amend the Conservation boundary, is considered to be minor
in nature. It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is
required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional District, the Council of an adjacent
municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the Federal and Provincial
Governments.
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.
-8 -
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7391-2017,
that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7387-2017, as amended in this report,
and that application 2017-319-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7399-2017;
24364 112th Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property located at 24364 112 Avenue from
RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
utilizing the Density Bonus provision which allows to facilitate a subdivision of approximately 15
(371m2) lots. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7399-2017 and considered
the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment on November
14, 2017. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is 0.80 ha.
The proposed RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, utilizing the Density
Bonus complies with the policies of the Official Community Plan (OCP). However, an amendment to
the OCP is required to adjust the area designated Residential Low Density to amend the
Conservation boundary. The southern portions of the property will be dedicated as park for
conservation purposes.
In order to achieve the Density Bonus provision of the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone a Density Bonus contribution of approximately $46,500.00 will be required.
Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution
Program at a rate of $5,100.00 per single family lot, for an estimated amount of $76,500.00.

2) Project Description:
The applicant has requested to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential)
to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), with a Density Bonus.
For the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, the base density is a net lot
area of 557 m2. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone and shall be applied as follows:
- 4 -
a.A Density Bonus Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision containing
one or more lots with an area of less than 557 m2, payable when the Approving Officer
approves the subdivision.
b.The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is:
i.minimum net lot area of 371 m2;
ii.minimum lot width of 12.0 m;
iii.minimum lot depth of 24 m.
c.Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 (Residential District) zone will apply and
supersede the zoning requirements for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone.
The proposal consists of 15 R-1 (Residential District) sized lots, amounting to a Density Bonus
Contribution of approximately $46,500.00. As per Council direction, this application will also be
subject to the City-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program which will require a contribution of
$5,100.00 per lot.
3)Planning Analysis:
i)Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the Albion Area Plan and is currently designated Low-Medium
Density Residential and Conservation.
The Low-Medium Density Residential designation corresponds with single detached or duplex
housing with lot sizes ranging from 891 m2 (9590 ft2) to 557m2 (5996 ft2). High densities many 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.
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 OCP Amending Bylaw No. 6995–2013, that establishes the
Density Bonus Program, and in compliance with the proposed Zone Amending Bylaw No. 6996-
2013, that permits a Density Bonus option in the Residential Low-Medium Density designation in the
Albion Area Plan. The applicant intends to apply the Density Bonus option to this project, as
discussed above in the Project Description.
For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to adjust the Conservation
area boundary for protection of the natural features.
- 5 -
ii)Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 24364 - 112 Avenue from RS-3
(One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) with a
Density Bonus, to permit future subdivision into 15 R-1 (Residential District) sized single family lots.
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-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) base density of 557 m2 to 371 m2. An Density Bonus Contribution of $3,100 per lot for
each lot that is less than 557 m2 is required, as discussed in the Project Description above. As per
Council direction, this application will also be subject to the City-wide Community Amenity
Contribution Program and will result in a contribution of $76,500.00.
iii)Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following variance:
To reduce the minimum rear yard setback from 8 m (26.25 ft.) down to 6 m (19.68 ft.) at
its shortest distance.
The requested variances to R-1 (Residential District) (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential) zone will be the subject of a future Council report. With the density provision of the RS-
1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone the R-1 (Residential District) zone siting
requirements apply.
iv)Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an area
designated Conservation on Schedule “B”;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
v)Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Kanaka Elementary School on July 10, 2018. There
were 6 people that attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with
the attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:
- 6 -
There were concerns for speeding on 112th Avenue and the amount of traffic.
Some neighbours would like to see a bus route on 112th Avenue and more sidewalks along
112th Avenue. The applicant, commented that the completion of 2 developments to the
west of this site that within 2 years the majority of 112th Avenue west of 244th Street will
have a sidewalk on at least one side.
vi)Parkland Requirement:
As there are more than two additional lots proposed to be created, the developer will be required to
comply with the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to
subdivision approval.
For this project, there is sufficient land that is proposed to be dedicated as park on the subject
property and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of Final Reading.
4)Environmental Implications:
The subject property is influenced by slopes; trees; and a water course. The applicant’s Professional
Environmental Professional has submitted the following documents in support of the application:
Environmental Impact Assessment;
Geotechnical Report;
Arborist Report; and
Watercourse Assessment report.
The Environmental Section is satisfied that the reports submitted are satisfied that they meet Maple
Ridge’s environmental Development Permit objectives and requirements.
5)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
112th Avenue will require upgrades along the frontage of the subject property to an urban
arterial standard as a condition of the subdivision approval process. In addition the
applicant will be responsible for the construction of the roads and lane.
Part of the subdivision process will require a watermain along the east property line form
112th Avenue to the south property line.
Road dedication across the property frontage on 112th Avenue to give an ultimate road right-
of way width of 26.0 m.
A Statutory Right of Way will be required along the east property line to accommodate a
watermain.
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
on and no response has been received to date.
- 7 -
7)Intergovernmental Issues:
i)Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected parties and to
adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section 477 of the Local
Government Act. The amendment required for this application, a revision of the Conservation
boundary, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional
consultation beyond existing procedures is required, including referrals to the Board of the Regional
District, the Council of an adjacent municipality, First Nations, the School District or agencies of the
Federal and Provincial Governments.
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. 7488-2018,
that second reading is given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7399-2017, and that application 2017-
434-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Applicant: Brookside Properties Ltd.
Legal Description: Lot 4 Section 28 Township 12 New Westminster District Plan
EPP73927
OCP:
Existing: Medium/High Density Residential
Zoning:
Existing: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) and
Proposed: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
Surrounding Uses:
North: Use: Single Family Residential
Zone: CD-1-93 (Amenity Residential District)
Designation: Medium/High Density Residential
South: Use: Park
Zone: RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential)
Designation: Conservation

West: Use: Multi-Family Residential
Zone: RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
Designation: Medium/High Density Residential
Existing Use of Property: Single Family Residential
Proposed Use of Property: Multi-Family Residential
Site Area: 0.34 ha (0.84 acres)
Access: 133 Avenue
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2) Project Description:
The subject property is 0.34 ha (0.84 acres) in area, and is bound by single family and multi-family
lots to the west, single family lots to the north, Maple Ridge Park Creek to the south, and Cedar Park
to the east (see Appendices A and B). Large boulders and rocky outcrops have been identified
throughout the property, with a significant feature located along the northeast boundary of the site.
There was a recently approved rezoning and subdivision application directly south of the watercourse
(application 2016-175-RZ/SD) for the creation of three single family lots. The subject property was
originally part of the larger parent parcel that was recently subdivided, creating the aforementioned
three single family lots. The area around Maple Ridge Park Creek was also dedicated to the City as
part of the same development.
- 3 -
The applicant is proposing a townhouse development consisting of 16 units. Access to the
townhouse site will be from 133 Avenue. All units are proposed to have double-car garages. A
common activity area is proposed along the eastern property boundary. Retaining walls are
proposed along the western property boundary to mitigate the grade changes on site. The
architectural aesthetics of the proposed development utilize both traditional and modern elements,
to include a gable roof form, as well as contemporary details of clean straight building lines, neutral
colours and large windows.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The subject property is located within the Silver Valley Area Plan, just outside the River Village. The
Official Community Plan (OCP) designation for the subject property is Medium/High Density
Residential, which allows both single family and multi-family housing forms. Densities of 30-50 units
per hectare are encouraged for the River Village area and may include attached as well as detached
fee-simple housing. The proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) development, at 16 units per 0.34
hectare, is approximately 47 units per hectare, and therefore complies with the Medium/High
Density Residential designation within the Silver Valley Area Plan.
Design features of the Silver Valley Area Plan include concentrating higher density residential
development into the Hamlets and the River Village. These areas were planned to be within walking
distance of commercial uses. Residential densities outside of these core areas were reduced
overall, through clustering or retention of larger lots, to retain significant natural amenities and
protect view corridors. The subject property is situated on the peripheries of River Village, but
maintains the higher density found within the River Village. As per the ‘Design Guidelines for
Residential Developments’ within the Silver Valley Area Plan, “The form and character of
townhousing developments should be compatible with neighbouring residential scale and should
reflect the design variety of its context.”
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit the future development of
approximately 16 townhouse units (see Appendix D).
The maximum allowable density of the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone is a floor space ratio of
0.6 times the net lot area, excluding a maximum of 50 m² of habitable basement area per unit. This
development is proposing a floor space ratio of 0.6, so it complies with the allowable maximum
density.
A preliminary review of the plans indicates that the proposal generally complies with the Zoning
Bylaw and the Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw; however, variances will be requested,
as discussed below.
iii) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following relaxations (see Appendix D):
- 4 -
1. To reduce the minimum front yard setback from 7.5 m (25 ft.) to 6.0 m (20 ft.) to the
principal building face.
2. To reduce the minimum rear yard setback for Block 3 from 7.5 m (25 ft.) to 4.0 m (13 ft.).
3. To increase the maximum building height for Blocks 1-4 from 11 m (36 ft.) to 12.21 m (40
ft.) at its highest point.
4. To reduce the minimum required Usable Open Space for Blocks 1, 2 and 3. Note that the
shortfall in individual unit Useable Open Space is provided in Community Amenity Space.
Overall the required amount of Community Amenity Space is 80 m² (861 ft²) and 112 m²
(1,206 ft²) is being provided.
The requested variances to the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone will be the subject of a future
Council report.
iv) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw requires two parking spaces per unit and 0.2 spaces per
unit to be provided as visitor parking spaces, requiring 36 spaces in total. The applicant is providing
a total of 32 residential parking spaces and five visitor parking spaces, with one of them provided as
accessible parking, for a total of 37 parking spaces. All units are proposed to be double-car garages.
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 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all
watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to
ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian
areas.
Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required
for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for:
All areas designated Conservation on Schedule “B” or all areas within 50 metres of an area
designated Conservation on Schedule “B”, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver Valley Area
Plan;
All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent;
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Schedule “C”
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and
for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Protection Development Permit application is
required for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for areas identified as
wildfire risk areas, as identified on the Wildfire Development Permit Area map.
- 5 -
vi) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and
the landscaping plans (see Appendices E and F) at a meeting held on May 16, 2018.
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the
following resolution that:
Make a connection from the proposed south pathway to the central drive aisle;
Provide building, landscape and amenity lighting plans;
Introduce alternative colour palettes and contrast for the buildings;
Consider adding accent colours or features to enliven the facades;
Consider the addition of master bedroom patios;
ADP has consistently requested that vinyl material not be applied;
Architecturally improve the end elevations of the buildings.
The ADP concerns have been addressed and are reflected in the current plans. A detailed
description of how these items were incorporated into the final design will be included in a future
development permit report to Council.
vii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Yennadon Elementary on June 18, 2018. Five
people attended the meeting. A summary of the main comments and discussions with the
attendees was provided by the applicant and include the following main points:
Concern over the reduction to the front and rear yard setbacks;
Maintain as much green space as possible
The following were provided by the applicant in response to the issues raised by the public:
The reduced front and rear yard setbacks are requested due to the narrowness of the
development site; as well, the reduced buildable land due to the conservation area around
the watercourse to the south;
The project has provided more outdoor amenity space than the bylaw requires; as well, a
vegetated rain garden with landscaping is provided in the south west corner of the
development site.
4) Environmental Implications:
An Environmental Assessment, Arborist Report, and Geotechnical Report were provided as part of
the development application. The north-eastern portion of the subject property is higher in elevation
and slopes down towards the south-west. Vegetation on the subject property is mainly comprised of
mixed forest that remains relatively undisturbed. Large boulders and rocky outcrops have been
identified throughout the property, with one significant large boulder identified along the northeast
boundary of the site. The boulder feature will be retained, as this is the proposed location of the
Common Activity Area (see Appendix F). As mentioned above, the watercourse to the south of the
subject property, Maple Ridge Park Creek, was dedicated to the City of Maple Ridge as part of the
recently approved southern development. The applicant has proposed to outfall their stormwater
from the development into Maple Ridge Park Creek, and as such, an appropriate design has been
provided for the stormwater outfall channel.
- 6 -
5) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
The existing road on 133 Avenue has already been constructed to a collector road standard, with no
further widening required. There is an existing sanitary sewer that services the subject property;
however, due to topography, the applicant is proposing a private sanitary pump. The existing asphalt
sidewalk across the frontage of the subject property is required to be replaced with a separated
concrete sidewalk, to connect to the existing concrete sidewalk on the east side of Cedar Park.
Street trees are required across the property frontage. A new water service will also be required at
the Building Permit stage.
ii) Parks & Leisure Services Department:
A pedestrian trail, on the north side of Maple Ridge Park Creek, will be provided as part of the
recently approved southern development. The area around Maple Ridge Park Creek, to the south of
the subject property, was dedicated as Park as part of the recently approved rezoning application to
the south.
iii) Fire Department:
The Fire Department has identified that all onsite carriageways must be a minimum width of 6 m and
rated to their specifications, which were provided to the developer. Signage indicating that the lanes
are fire lanes and that no parking is permitted within the lanes is required. A unit directional
addressing sign, which is visible in all weather conditions, is to be permanently mounted at the main
entrance.
6) External Agency:
i) School District No. 42 Comments:
A referral was sent to School District No. 42, and they provided the following information:
“The proposed application would affect the student population for the catchment areas currently
served by Yennadon Elementary and Garibaldi Secondary School.
Yennadon Elementary has an operating capacity of 635 students. For the 2017-18 school year the
student enrolment at Yennadon Elementary is 571 students (91% utilization) including 130
students from out of catchment.
Garibaldi Secondary School has an operating capacity of 1,050 students. For the 2017-18 school
year the student enrolment at Garibaldi Secondary School is 748 students (71% utilization)
including 258 students from out of catchment.”
7) Citizen/Customer Implications:
A Development Information Meeting was held on June 18, 2018. The results of the concerns
expressed at that meeting are discussed above. The Public Hearing will provide an additional
opportunity for citizens to express their concern or support of the development.
- 7 -
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7259-2016 and that
application 2016-176-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

2) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential), to permit the development of a duplex. The
subject property, located at 11970 Glenhurst Street, is a rectangular shaped lot that is 1,090 m2
(0.269 acres) in size. The subject property and surrounding lots are characterized by single family
dwellings of one to two storeys in height. The existing house on the property will require removal as
part of the rezoning approval. The subject property is relatively flat with a few trees spread across the
lot (see Appendix A and B).
- 3 -
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The subject property is designated Urban Residential – Neighbourhood Residential. The following
OCP policies apply to the current application:
Policy 3-1 encourages growth within the Urban Area Boundary (UAB) and to accommodate
growth through infill by promoting a mix of housing types and tenures.
Policy 3-19 Neighbourhood Residential Infill, and 3-21 Compatibility Criteria. They require
development to be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood with regards to size, scale,
massing and architectural elements. They also require development to reinforce the physical
patterns and characteristics of established neighbourhoods, with particular attention to
setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area.
Policy 3-19 supports a change in unit type and specifically cites duplexes as well as triplexes
as compatible.
The proposed rezoning to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) is in conformance with the Urban
Residential – Neighbourhood Residential designation and OCP policies listed above.
ii) Housing Action Plan
The Housing Action Plan was endorsed in 2014, and includes a number of goals and principles
aimed at providing safe, affordable and appropriate housing for the community. Specific goals in
support of duplex housing include: “To improve housing choice for all current and future
households”. Strategy #1 Housing Action Plan relates to housing mix and inn ovation and reads
“support the development of a mix of housing forms”. The current application for a duplex
development aligns with the intent of the Housing Action Plan.
iii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property at 11970 Glenhurst Street from RS-
3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RT-1 (Two Family Urban Residential) to permit the development
of a duplex (see Appendix C). The minimum lot size for the current RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) zone is 8,000 m2, and the minimum lot size for the proposed RT-1 (Two Family Urban
Residential) zone is 891 m2. Therefore, the subject property’s size, 1,090 m2, meets the existing
RT-1 zone’s lot size requirement. It is also larger than several in-stream RT-1 zone amending bylaw
applications that would further reduce the minimum lot size to 750 m2.
The subject property’s dimensions, after road dedication, will be 21.3 m wide and 49.5 m deep. The
current minimum dimensions for the RT-1 zone are 22 m by 30 m respectively. The subject property
is sufficiently deep, but approximately 70 cm less than the required lot width. However, this shortfall
is minimal and does not have any impact on the proposed duplex building. Furthermore, several in -
stream RT-1 zone amending bylaw applications, which are nearing completion, propose to reduce
the lot width requirement to 20 m. In this case, the current application would comply with the future
requirements of an amended RT-1 zone. For these reasons, no variance is requested regarding the
minimum lot width in this application.
The current application does not require any other variances either from the RT-1 zone’s current
requirements.
- 4 -
iv) Off Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The current application proposes two off street parking spaces inside the garage of ea ch unit for a
total of four off street parking spaces. This conforms with the requirements of the City’s Off Street
Parking and Loading Bylaw 4350-1990. All off street parking spaces can be accessed from a
common access driveway from Glenhurst Street.
v) Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for this rezoning, as a duplex is exempt from the Development
Permit Area Guidelines. However, a Section 219 Restrictive Covenant will be required to regulate the
form and character of the duplex (see Appendices D and E). The RT-1 (Two Family Urban
Residential) zone does not permit secondary suites, and this restriction will be included in the
restrictive covenant.
vi) Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a duplex project;
therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
vii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is proposing less than 5 dwelling units.
4) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
New concrete curb, gutter, asphalt widening and ditch enclosure are required across the property
frontage. A sidewalk, street trees and street lighting would also normally be required across the
property frontage. However, as the stormwater ditch in front of the property, despite being enclosed,
will remain to convey stormwater drainage, cash in lieu of construction will be taken. A new storm
sewer must be constructed across the property frontage because it does not currently exist.
The applicant must confirm whether the enclosure of the ditch has received the approval from the
proper agencies if notification is required. Finally, road dedication of approximately 1.5 m is required
off the property frontage along Glenhurst Street.
A Rezoning Servicing Agreement detailing these upgrades must be completed and registered as a
restrictive covenant on title as a condition of final reading.
ii) Building Department:
This project’s stormwater management plan must conform with the City’s 3-tier stormwater
management requirements. Registration on title of a restrictive covenant of an approved Stormwater
Management Plan will be required as a condition of final reading.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP. It has been reviewed by internal
departments and found to be in conformance with relevant policies and bylaws. Therefore, it is
recommended that Council grant second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7361-2017,
and that application 2017-271-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

2) Project Description:
The subject property, located at 12327 203 Street, is a square shaped corner lot that is 916 m2
(0.22 acres) in size (see Appendix A). The subject property and surrounding lots are characterized by
low (i.e. one to two storey) single family dwellings in a well established residential neighbourhood
(see Appendix B). The subject property is flat with a few trees on the lot, and a tall hedge around the
property. A bike lane on 203 Street runs along the subject property’s eastern edge.
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit the subdivision and construction of two single
family dwellings (see Appendix D).
- 3 -
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Urban Area Boundary near the western edge of Maple
Ridge. It is currently designated Urban Residential. No OCP amendment is required to support the
proposed R-1 (Residential District) zoning.
The development of the property is subject to the Major Corridor infill policies of the OCP because it
is located adjacent to 203 Street, an arterial street and Major Corridor. These policies require that
development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to
site design setbacks and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area.
While the R-1 zone will allow smaller lots than the surrounding RS-1 zoned properties, the single
family dwellings on these two lots would not significantly alter the character of the surrounding
neighbourhood. Furthermore, the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is in conformance with the
Major Corridor Infill policies of the Urban Residential designation of the OCP.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at 12327 203 Street from
RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit a two lot subdivision and
construction of two single family dwellings (see Appendix C). The minimum lot size for the current
RS-1 zone is 668 m2, while the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 zone is 371 m2. No variations
from the proposed R-1 zone are required.
iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
Two off-street parking spaces per lot can be accommodated inside the garage of each house or on
their driveways. This conforms with the requirements of the City’s Off Street Parking and Loading
Bylaw 4350-1990. All off street parking spaces are accessed from 123 Avenue.
iv) Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required for R-1 single-family rezoning applications.
v) Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required for single-family rezoning applications.
Therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
vi) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance
with the OCP and is proposing less than 5 dwelling units.
vii) Community Amenity Contribution:
Pursuant to Council Policy 6.31, a voluntary Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) charge of $5,100
is requested for this application. This is derived from the value of $5,100 per single family lot,
excluding the first lot.
viii) Environmental Implications:
This project’s stormwater management plan must conform with the City’s 3-tier stormwater
management requirements. Registration on title of a Restrictive Covenant of an approved
Stormwater Management Plan will be required as a condition of final reading.
- 4 -
ix) Traffic Impact:
As the subject property is located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, a referral has been
sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Ministry approval of this application’s Zone
Amending Bylaw No. 7380-2017 will be required as a condition of final reading. At this time, the
Ministry has granted preliminary approval of the development application.
4) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
Road dedication of approximately 2.0 m is required off the property frontage along 203 Street, and
1.5 m from 123 Avenue. Completion of a subdivision servicing agreement detailing required service
upgrades will be a condition of subdivision.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP. It has been reviewed by internal
departments and found to be in conformance with relevant policies and bylaws. Therefore, it is
recommended that Council grant second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7380-2017-
2017, and that application 2017-320-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Second and Third Reading
23070 Lougheed Highway Housing Agreement Bylaw No. 7332-2017
23070 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The subject lands have been rezoned C-1 Neighbourhood Commercial as part of rezoning application
2015-297-RZ. A Housing Agreement is required for all of the proposed 24 rental apartments to be
rental housing in perpetuity. Six (6) of these apartments are to be designed and built for aging in
place in accordance with Adaptive Dwelling Units requirements of BC Building Code Section 3.8.5.
These housing units fulfil a rezoning condition to create a commercial lot for this final phase (Phase
3)out of a portion of the former MOTI/Cottonwood site (Appendix A & B) being developed by Polygon.
Therefore, to authorize the City to enter into a Housing Agreement, the attached authorizing bylaw
(see Appendix B) is being brought forward to Council. Bylaw No. 7332-2017 was granted first
reading on May 23rd, 2017. Since that date, ownership was transferred from Polygon Development
309 Ltd. to Polygon Provenance Homes Ltd., Inc. No. BC0973398. Consequently, the Bylaw and the
Agreement attached (Schedule C) need to be amended accordingly. There were also some minor
housekeeping changes recommended by the Municipal lawyer. For these reasons, Council is being
requested to second and third readings to the amended bylaw. A Public Hearing is not required.
A report recommending final reading for 23070 Lougheed Highway Housing Agreement Bylaw No.
7332-2017 will be brought forward to a future Council meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That 23070 Lougheed Highway Housing Agreement Bylaw No. 7332-2017 be given second and third
readings as amended.

b) Description:
Under Section 483 of the Local Government Act, the City may enter into housing agreements. These
agreements may include terms and conditions agreed to by the City and a land owner regarding the
occupancy of the housing units identified in such agreements, including the form of tenure of the
housing units. Authorization to enter such agreements requires an authorizing bylaw.
Bylaw No. 7332-2017 was granted first reading on May 23rd, 2017. Since that date, ownership was
transferred from Polygon Development 309 Ltd. to Polygon Provenance Homes Ltd., Inc. No.
BC0973398. Consequently, the bylaw and the Agreement attached (Schedule C) need to be
amended accordingly. There were also some minor housekeeping changes recommended by the
Municipal lawyer. For these reasons, Council is being requested to grant second and third readings
to the amended bylaw. Final adoption would be considered by Council at a later date.
A condition of the zoning application was that these 24 apartment units will be rental units, six (6) of
which will be designed and built for aging in place in accordance with Adaptive Dwelling Units
requirements of BC Building Code Section 3.8.5. Due to pending approvals from the Ministry of
Transportation and Infrastructure for site subdivision, this Housing Agreement Bylaw could not be
considered in concert with final adoption of the rezoning. The subdivision plan showing the Lot C for
this mixed use commercial / rental apartment building and subject to this Housing Agreement is
attached as Appendix D.
- 3 -
In terms of City policies, this proposal is consistent with Policy 3-32 of the Official Community Plan
which states “Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing
throughout the District” and with the City Housing Strategy.
The housing units to be located above the ground floor commercial level and will be retained as
rental units in perpetuity. The Housing Agreement contains a number of provisions, including that the
units may only be rented, and their rental status cannot be changed by an owner developer or any
future strata council should the property be stratified. In addition to these usual terms, the
agreement provides for the developer’s phasing of the overall development project such that this
mixed use commercial / rental apartment phase will be built as the final phase (Phase 3) of their
development.
To secure this, the agreement requires a security deposit of $5.7 million. If the developer does not
completely build and make the rental housing units available to tenants by January 1, 2023, the
developer will forfeit their security deposit of $5.7 million to the City. The agreement to be authorized
by this bylaw is appended with the authorizing bylaw to this report as Appendix B. It has been
reviewed and accepted by the land owner.
In addition to the bylaw, the agreement will be registered as a restrictive convent, a notice of the
housing agreement will be filed on title by the City in the Land Title Office in accordance with sub-
section 483 (6) of the Local Government Act. Both of these steps will be taken following adoption of
Bylaw No. 7332-2017 and when title is raised.
c) Financial Implications:
The required $5.7 million forfeitable security has been submitted to the City.
CONCLUSION:
The applicant has agreed to enter into a housing agreement to allow for 24 rental apartment units,
six (6) of which will also accommodate aging in place, on the upper floors of their proposed phase 3
multi-use building. Provision of this rental housing will provide more housing choices in the
community.
The Local Government Act requires an authorizing bylaw for a municipality to enter into such housing
agreements. Therefore, it is required that second and third reading be given to the 23070 Lougheed
Highway Housing Agreement Bylaw No. 7332-2017, as amended. Final adoption would be given by
Council at a later date.
Proceeding with entering into a housing agreement for 24 rental housing units is a remaining
conditions this developer is to fulfill through site subdivision. The proposed phasing of the building
containing these rental units is secured by way of a $5.7 million security, forfeitable if the units are
not delivered by January 1, 2023.

It is recommended that second and third readings be given to 23070 Lougheed Highway Housing
Agreement Bylaw No. 7332-2017.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COUNCIL
SUBJECT: Zoning Bylaw Amendments for Auto Wrecking Services
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7455-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On July 17, 2018, Council directed staff to prepare amending bylaws to prohibit auto wrecking
services, meaning vehicle wrecking, salvaging and storing of wrecked or salvaged vehicles, in the M-
2 (General Industrial) zone. This report summarizes the proposed amendments to the Zoning Bylaw,
and outlines the implications of these changes on existing auto wrecking businesses.
As a result of the proposed changes, if approved, the auto wrecking use will only be permitted in the
M-5 (High Impact Industrial) zone. New auto wrecking businesses will be required to undertake a
rezoning process, as there are currently no properties zoned M-5 (High Impact Industrial) in Maple
Ridge, providing Council with the opportunity to review each proposal on a case-by-case basis. This
report presents Zone Amending No. 7455-2018 for first and second reading, and Council’s referral
to a Public Hearing date in October.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7455-2018 be given first and second reading and be forwarded to
Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND:
The Commercial and Industrial Strategy identified the limited amount of fully serviced, development-
ready industrial land in Maple Ridge as a key constraint to creating local high-value jobs. Given this
limitation, staff have been exploring strategies to maximize the employment density on existing
industrial land by encouraging greater employment densification. On July 17, 2018, the Economic
Development Department presented a report to Council outlining the City’s current auto wrecking
regulations, and the number of existing and in-stream auto wrecking business licenses. The report
noted that auto wrecking businesses fail to meet the objectives of maximizing employment density,
and recommended that stricter controls on this use be implemented. Council directed staff to bring
forward an amending bylaw to prohibit the auto wrecker use in the M-2 (General Industrial) zone with
the following resolution:
That staff prepare amendments to the City’s Zoning Bylaw and Business Licensing Bylaw to prohibit
auto wrecker use in the M2 General Industrial Zone.
It is noted that after further staff discussion, no concurrent amendments to the Business Licensing
and Regulation Bylaw are required at this time. The requirement for auto wrecking businesses to
have Automobile Recyclers’ Environmental Association of BC (AREA) membership as identified in the
July 17, 2018 staff report, can be achieved through the existing Business Licensing Bylaw.
PLANNING ANALYSIS AND IMPLICATIONS:
Auto wrecking services are currently permitted as an industrial use in the M-2 (General Industrial)
and M-5 (High Impact Industrial) zones. The proposed Zone Amendment Bylaw No. 7455-2018 will
1110
2
exclude vehicle wrecking, salvaging and storage of wrecked or salvaged vehicles as a permitted
principal use in the M-2 (General Industrial) zone (see Appendix A). The wrecking and salvaging of
non-vehicular goods, such as appliances and electronics will continue to be permitted in the M -2
(General Industrial) zone, and will continue to require screening of outdoor storage.
As a result of the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments, if approved, all current auto-wrecking
businesses, as well as those businesses in the process of obtaining a business license for an auto-
wrecking use (seven in total) will become legally non-conforming and are subject to the provisions
outlined in Part 14, Division 14 of the Local Government Act. The legally non-conforming status
allows the businesses to continue their operation for as long as desired, and permits building
additions, alterations or maintenance that do not increase the amount of non-conformance. Should
the use cease on any of the seven properties for more than six months, or in the event that a
building is damaged over 75% by fire, the businesses would need to comply with the current Zoning
Bylaw.
New auto wrecker businesses could still be accommodated under the M-5 (High Impact Industrial)
zone; however, such future applicants would be required to go through the rezoning process as there
are currently no properties zoned M-5 (High Impact Industrial) in Maple Ridge. Appropriate
properties for this use are currently designated Industrial or Rural Resource along the Lougheed
Highway and 256 Street north of 128 Avenue, excluding land designated Industrial – Business Park
such as Maple Meadows and Albion.
Interdepartmental Implications:
The proposed Zoning Bylaw changes have been discussed with the Economic Development and Civic
Property Department and Bylaw and Licensing Services, and both departments are in support of the
amendments. Staff will provide the seven identified businesses with a letter informing them of the
proposed amendments and providing an explanation of the legal non-conforming implications.
CONCLUSION:
This report outlines proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments to prohibit the auto wrecking use from the
M-2 (General Industrial) zone, as directed by Council on July 17, 2018. It is recommended that
Zoning Bylaw No. 7455-2018 be given first and second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Cannabis Retail Zoning Bylaw Text Amendment
First & Second Reading Bylaw No. 7487-2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On September 4, 2018, Council directed staff to prepare bylaw amendments to direct the retail
sales of non-medical cannabis, which will become legal on October 17, 2018. The zones that
were considered appropriate for this use were CS-1 Highway Commercial, C-2 Community
Commercial, and C-3 Town Centre Commercial with prescribed separation requirements from
schools and other cannabis retail outlets. The proposed bylaw amendment as endorsed by
Council is attached to this report as Appendix A.
RECOMMENDATION:
That Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7487-2018 be given First and Second Readings and
be forwarded to Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND:
At the September 4, 2018 Council Workshop, Council passed the following resolutions:
1) That the proposed Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7487-2018 attached to this
report be brought forward at the September 18, 2018 Council Meeting for First and
Second Readings and forwarded to Public Hearing; and
2) That staff be directed to bring forward bylaw amendments to the Business Licencing
and Regulation Bylaw to establish business licencing fees and conditions for cannabis
retail use; and further
3) That staff be directed to bring forward bylaw amendments to the Zoning Bylaw to
regulate the commercial production of cannabis on lands within the Agricultural Land
Reserve.
This report addresses resolution # 1, to bring forward zoning bylaw amendments for cannabis
retail. The proposed bylaw to define and establish cannabis retail in the following specified
zones: CS-1 Highway Commercial, C-2 Community Commercial, and C-3 Town Centre Commercial.
In addition, the zoning bylaw amendment prescribes separation requirements from schools and
other cannabis retail outlets. These separation requirements will effectively limit the numbers of
cannabis retail outlets to 1 in the Town Centre, to a total of about 4 or 5 within municipal limits.
The proposed bylaw is appended to this report as Appendix A. The September 4, 2018 workshop
report is appended as Appendix B.
1111
- 2 -
Staff reports addressing the remaining resolutions will be brought forward to Council after Maple
Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7487-2018 receives first and second reading.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed bylaw has been reviewed at the September 4 Council Workshop, where it was agreed
to bring it forward to the September 18, 2018 Council meeting to proceed to first and second
reading. On this basis, it is recommended that the bylaw be given first and second reading.
Additional work will commence as next steps, including work on the Business Licencing and
Regulation Bylaw, and a review of the Zoning Bylaw as applied to cannabis production facilities.
These reports will be presented in a future Council meeting.

SUBJECT: Cannabis Retail Amendment Options
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Cannabis will become a legal controlled substance on October 17, 2018, when applicable Federal
laws come into full effect. Similar to most Lower Mainland municipalities, Maple Ridge has taken
a measured approach to date. On March 27, 2018, Council adopted bylaw No. 7428-2018 to
prohibit the retail sale of cannabis in all zones in Maple Ridge (under application # 2018-022-RZ).
This measure was considered to be prudent and an interim step prior to eventual legalization of
recreational cannabis. It effectively prevented illegal dispensaries from becoming legally non-
conforming upon legalization. The intention was to later consider bylaw amendments once the
use was legal, and Federal and Provincial regulations were in place.
The Provincial role with legalization will be as a central distributor and licence administrator.
Fortunately, municipalities have some control over where retail outlets may set up. In addition,
the Agricultural Land Commission has recently released regulations requiring that all new
construction in the ALR for cannabis production be soil based. It is understood that this measure
has been taken to avoid excessive permanent landscape alterations for cannabis production in
the Agricultural Land Reserve. The provincial control over supply and distribution will assist in
maintaining a balance between the supply and demand of cannabis.
This report recommends zoning bylaw amendments directing the sale of cannabis within the
community. A draft bylaw has been prepared based on recommendations in this report. It is
recommended that this bylaw e forwarded to the September 18, 2018 Council Meeting for first
and second reading. A second report will be before Council with information and appropriate
bylaw recommendations in response to the revised regulations of the Agricultural Land
Commission as it relates to cannabis production.
RECOMMENDATION:
1) That the proposed Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7487-2018 attached to this report
be brought forard at the September 18, 2018 Council Meeting for First and Second Readings
and forwarded to Public Hearing; and
2)That staff be directed to bring forward bylaw amendments to the Business Licencing and
Regulation Bylaw to establish business licencing fees and conditions for cannabis retail use;
and further
3)That staff be directed to bring forward bylaw amendments to the Zoning Bylaw to regulate the
commercial production of cannabis on lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
APPENDIX B

BACKGROUND:
a)Federal, Provincial and Municipal Jurisdiction
Cannabis will become a legal controlled substance in October 2018. A summary of responsibilities
as they involve Federal, Provincial and Local governments is provided below.
i.Government of Canada
Under the new legislation, the Federal government is responsible for establishing and maintaining a
comprehensive and consistent national framework for regulating production, setting standards for
health and safety, and establishing criminal prohibitions.
ii.Province of British Columbia: Application Process for Cannabis Retail
Through the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), the province will be issuing licences for
non-medical cannabis retail stores. Licence applications for retail stores are first submitted to the
LCRB, who will then notify the local government of the area where the proposed store will be located.
From the outset, the proposed retail store must be a stand alone business. The issuance of any
Provincial licence will require the input and a positive recommendation from the affected local
government.
If the local government chooses to make comments and recommendations on a licensee’s
application to the LCRB, it must gather the views of residents. (The City of Maple Ridge has an
established practice in place for the issuance of liquor licence retail stores). If the local government
makes a positive recommendation, the LCRB has discretion whether or not to issue the licence, but
must consider the local government’s recommendation. The local government has the ability to
charge an application fee for cost recovery for the purpose of assessing applications.
iii.Local Governments:
Within their geographical limits, British Columbia municipalities have regulatory powers in permitting
cannabis retail stores. These powers include: zoning bylaw restrictions regarding the location and
siting of cannabis retail stores, business licensing bylaws, that can limit the hours of operation, or
sign bylaws to specify signage requirements.
CANNABIS REGULATION OVERVIEW:
a)Municipal Scan
A table outlining the steps taken by other BC municipalities for cannabis retail is attached as
Appendix A. This information shows that many municipalities have prohibited cannabis retail
outright. The City and the Township of Langley indicates that their prohibition may continue after
legalization occurs. Some municipalities are now in the process of drafting bylaw amendments in
support of this use. A summary of these other BC municipalities follows:
i.Site Specific Rezoning Required
This requirement is being established in Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, Richmond, and West
Vancouver.
ii.Permit Government Retail Stores Only
The City of Burnaby and the District of Mission have specified that only government retail outlets
would be supported. Other municipalities have been less specific, indicating that a combination of
government and private retail outlets would be supported. (The LCRB has indicated that employees
of government stores will receive wages above “Living Wage” salaries, and therefore will be bringing
quality employment into the communities with government stores.)
- 3 -
iii.Place Caps on Number of Outlets
The City of Burnaby is initially limiting one retail outlet per town centre area, which would amount to
about 4 retail outlets in total in the city. New Westminster has established a cap of 5 outlets. The
City of White Rock places a cap on one retail use in their town centre, to be permitted as a temporary
use only.
iv.Separation Requirements
Separation requirements have been specified from schools, parks, and other retail outlets in
Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, Whiterock, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Kamloops.
For schools, community centres, and youth facilities, these requirements range from 100 metres to
300 meters across this municipal scan. The required separation between cannabis retail outlets
ranged from 150 metres (Kamloops) to 1000 metres (Port Coquitlam).
v.Business Licence Bylaws
Revised fee schedules for business licencing and cannabis retail is being proposed in the City of
Richmond, Vancouver, and New Westminster. New Westminster has an annual licence fee of
$2698.00, with an initial licence assessment fee of $5,400.00. Richmond has a $4,000.00 base
fee with increments based on retail area. Vancouver has an business licence fee of $30,000.00 per
year. (It should be noted that the business licence fee must be an accurate reflection of the cost of
service for the municipality.)
b)Cannabis Production
In a bulletin issued on August 15, 2018, the Agricultural Land Commission has directed that all new
structures built for the purpose of commercial cannabis production be soil based. This measure will
effectively prevent permanent and potentially excessive landscape alterations such as concrete
bunkers for cannabis cultivation. These new regulations along with proposed bylaw amendments
will be discussed further in a follow-up report.
BYLAW AMENDMENT OPTIONS FOR MAPLE RIDGE:
This report assesses three options, as follows:
Option 1. Continued prohibition.
This approach is being pursued in both the City and the Township of Langley.
Advantages: allows Council to take a principled stand, and to avoid problems that could
arise from this new use.
Disadvantages: Loss of retail dollars as consumers seek other municipality to meet this
demand.
Option 2. Limiting the number of retail outlets.
This approach is being pursued in Burnaby, New Westminster, and White Rock.
Advantages: allows some capture of retail dollars that would otherwise be spent outside of
Maple Ridge, and to increase the number of retail outlets should demand warrant the
increase.
Disadvantages: may compromise values of Council, and might not initially capture all the
local retail market.
- 4 -
Option 3. Minimal restrictions on cannabis retail outlets.
This approach appears to have been taken in the City of Vancouver, although certain
conditions of use and siting restrictions have been established.
Advantages: will satisfy specific business interests, capture greatest market share.
Disadvantages: Risk of over-investment, leading to proliferation of retail outlets, possible
store closures, and displacement of other neighbourhood serving businesses.
This report recommends Option 2. Given the degree of control held in provincial requirements, there
seems little need for site specific Zoning Bylaw amendments, given the extent of local control, as
municipalities will need to review, gather community input, and positively recommend each retail
outlet to the Provincial Government before approval can occur. The centralization of control for
production and distribution of cannabis at federal and provincial levels will help to mitigate the
potential for excessive retail floor space being allocated to this use.
For this reason, likely the most appropriate approach for addressing this use in Maple Ridge will
follow a similar position to liquor stores. The recommendation is that Cannabis Retail be located in
commercial zones that serve the broader community and also allow licensed retail stores. These
zones are typically located in larger commercial areas with a range of commercial opportunities. The
recommended zones are CS-1, C-2, and C-3 Commercial zones.
Separation requirements are recommended, as follows: 200 metres of separation from schools, and
1000 metres of separation between cannabis retail outlets.
A scan of available commercial areas indicates that with these separation requirements the number
of outlets that could be located in Maple Ridge would be consistent with the caps placed in Burnaby
(4) and New Westminster (5).
To consider an application in other commercial zones, a text amendment permitting cannabis retail
could be made to the smaller scale commercial zones that also allow Licensee Retail Stores. These
zones could include C-5 Village Centre Commercial, CRM Commercial/Residential, H-1 Heritage
Commercial, and H-2 Hammond Village Commercial.
a)Proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendments
Recommended Zoning Bylaw amendments include the following:
Definitions: Introduction of the term “Cannabis” and “Cannabis Retail Store” in the zoning
bylaw
General Regulations: Separation requirements for Cannabis Retail Stores will be outlined in
the General Regulations.
Specific Zones: CS-1, C-2, and C-3 Zones will be amended to allow this use.
The proposed bylaw amendment is attached as Appendix B.
INTERGOVERNMENTAL ISSUES:
The introduction of this new use will involve coordination with the province through the Liquor and
Cannabis Regulations Branch.
CITIZEN/CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS:
All zoning bylaw amendments must first proceed through a Public Hearing. As identified in the
provincial process, community input will be required prior to locating any retail outlet within the
community.
- 5 -
INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS:
It is recommended that a review of Business Licence fees as it applies to this new use be
undertaken for Councils consideration.
ALTERNATIVES:
This report identifies three options for Council’s consideration, ranging from continuing the existing
prohibition, allowing a restricted number of outlets in specified zones, to opening up the option
further with more outlets and fewer restrictions. The recommended approach is Option 2, to allow
this retail use but effectively restrict the number of outlets through separation requirements.
However, Council may wish to direct that a different approach be taken.
CONCLUSION:
The eventual legalization of cannabis, and its introduction into retail outlets is prompting Canadian
municipalities to amend their bylaws in response to this new use. Initially, prohibition was advised,
but now bylaw amendments are being proposed in support of this new use. It is recognized that the
extent of market uptake is not clear at this point. For this reason, the recommended approach is to
proceed cautiously, with bylaw amendments and separation requirements that will limit the number
of outlets that can be located within Maple Ridge. Council may direct that further work be carried
out to assess the optimum number of cannabis retail outlets in the municipality. As a result of this
work, further bylaw amendments could be warranted.

SUBJECT: 2018 Storm and Sanitary Sewer CCTV Program
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City of Maple Ridge performs an ongoing Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Inspection and sewer
cleaning program. The resulting CCTV data is used to identify and prioritize critical maintenance,
replacement and rehabilitation of the existing storm and sanitary sewer systems. In addition, the
pre-cleaning works provide essential maintenance required for proper operation of the sewer
systems.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That Contract ITT-OP18-63, 2018 Storm and Sanitary Sewer CCTV Program, be awarded to 1051735
BC Ltd. / DBA C3 Mainline Inspection Services Inc. in the amount of $227,744, excluding taxes; and
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Solid Waste Request for Proposal
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In 2017 Council directed that a Request for Proposals (RFP) be issued to establish an annual cost
per household for solid waste curbside collection for consideration in a plebiscite based upon a
previously determined level of service. The RFP closed on August 31, 2018 with submissions
received from four proponents. An evaluation panel comprised of staff from Operations, Finance,
Ridge Meadows Recycling Society and Engineering reviewed the proposals and all four are
determined to be valid.
The submissions include technical and financial information as well as other data that is confidential
in nature that is protected from disclosure (confirmed by legal counsel), so the individual unit costs
cannot be released but the range of costs extended from approximately $175 to $395 per
household per year, with an average cost of $260. Proposal submissions do not invoke the same
contractual obligations as an Invitation to Tender, so neither the City or any of the proponents are
obligated to enter into a contract – as such, staff will continue to negotiate with the proponents but
any party may withdraw at any time without penalty.
The annual solid waste charge is not limited to the cost of collection and disposal, but also the
administration and financial management of the service. A survey of similarly-sized municipalities
was undertaken to solicit information on staffing levels and financial resources and the norm was a
manager and up to four administrative staff. For Maple Ridge it is recommended that a manager
and two administrative staff be allocated for administration of the service. Two municipalities noted
an annual number of service calls in excess of 4,000, even with the contractor receiving the initial
complaint.
Financial reserves will be established to account for variances in costs throughout the life of the
contract, and there will be additional costs for pilot projects and education initiatives. The
administrative burden equates to approximately $20 per household, although this may vary through
the life of the contract – organics processing costs may increase, for example as a result of the
Harvest Power site closure.
The intent of this report is not to recommend the selection of a proponent but rather to establish a
reasonable per household charge for curbside solid waste collection for inclusion in the upcoming
plebiscite being held in conjunction with the October 2018 general local election.
Based upon the review of the proposal submissions as well as the expected administration costs it is
suggested that the annual household charge be established at $270 for the default 240 litre
container (the rate would vary should a resident choose a smaller or larger container).
1113
For a similar level of service the Township of Langley charges $290 per household per year while
Coquitlam charges $323 per year (this includes the funding of a non-manned recycling depot), both
of which exclude recycling costs. Charges from private contractors in Maple Ridge range from $285
to $390 per household, although there are minor variances in service levels.
RECOMMENDATION:
This report is provided for information only. Final approval for the plebiscite question will be
addressed at the September 18, 2018 Council meeting.
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
In October 2017 Council carried a motion (R/2017-441) directing that a RFP be issued to assist
in the determination of an annual charge per household for solid waste curbside collection and
that a plebiscite to establish support for a municipally-administered solid waste collection
program take place at the same time as the upcoming general local election in October 2018.
The level of service was previously determined by Council RFP and required proponents to
submit prices based upon weekly organic and bi-weekly solid waste collections. The RFP closed
on August 31, 2018 with submissions received from four proponents. An evaluation panel
comprised of staff from Operations, Finance, Ridge Meadows Recycling Society and Engineering
reviewed the proposals and all four are determined to be valid.
The submissions include technical and financial information and other data that is confidential in
nature that is protected from disclosure (confirmed by legal counsel) so the individual unit costs
cannot be released but the range of costs extended from approximately $175 to $395 per
household per year, with an average cost of $260. Proposal submissions do not invoke the
same contractual obligations as an Invitation to Tender, so neither the City or any of the
proponents are obligated to enter into a contract – as such, staff will continue to negotiate with

contract, and there will be additional costs for pilot projects and education initiatives. The
administrative burden equates to approximately $20 per household, although this may vary
through the life of the contract – organics processing costs may increase, for example as a result
of the Harvest Power site closure.
The intent of this report is not to recommend the selection of a contractor but rather to establish
a reasonable per household charge for curbside solid waste collection for inclusion in the
upcoming plebiscite being held in conjunction with the October 2018 general local election.
Based upon the review of the proposal submissions as well as the expected administration costs
it is suggested that the annual household charge be established at $270 for the default 240 litre
container (the rate would vary should a resident choose a smaller or larger container).
For a similar level of service the Township of Langley charges $290 per household per year while
Coquitlam charges $323 per year (this includes the funding of a non-manned recycling depot),
both of which exclude recycling costs. Charges from private contractors in Maple Ridge range
from $285 to $390 per household, although there are minor variances in service levels.
b) Desired Outcome:
The issuance of a RFP assists in the determination of costs for the establishment of a municipal
solid waste curbside collection program from which an appropriate annual service charge may be
established to enable eligible residents to indicate their support for a municipal collection
program.
c) Citizen/Customer Implications:
Should the City implement a municipal solid waste collection program it is not expected that
those residents receiving the service would experience noticeable changes in their level of
service under the current user-pay system but one difference would be the standardization of
service across the entire area served. It is possible that residents in areas not served by a
municipal collection system may not be able to secure service from a private hauler given the
reduced market share for the private contractors, or face additional costs.
d) Interdepartmental Implications:
Should the City proceed with a municipal collection system there will be a need to provide
administrative resources either in Engineering or the Operations Departments.
e) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
Should Council determine that a municipal collection system will be implemented it will be
necessary to amend the Financial Plan to incorporate funding for the service.
With the current private user-pay system the City currently has no labour resources committed to
contract administration and as previously noted additional staff resources will be required. In
discussions with staff from other municipalities in the Region, regardless of whether it be in -
house or contracted out service it was noted that garbage related issues from residents are one
of the highest call volumes received.
f) Policy Implications:
The establishment of a solid waste collection service may require the amendment of existing
bylaws and this will be investigated should the service be approved for implementation.
g) Alternatives:
The City may elect to retain the current user-pay private solid waste collection system.
CONCLUSIONS:
The issuance of the Request for Proposal, based upon a defined level of service identifies the cost
for the curbside collection of solid waste and the development of an annual charge per household.
This then forms the basis for the public process to ascertain the level of public support for the
implementation of a municipal collection service.

SUBJECT: Solid Waste Curbside Collection Plebiscite
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In October 2017 Council directed staff to conduct a plebiscite for the provision of curbside solid
waste collection as a municipal service. In June 2018, Council reviewed a draft ballot, noting general
agreement with the format and approach, acknowledging it would be brought back for final approval
once the per household cost was determined. This report follows up on that direction.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the non-binding plebiscite question on Solid Waste Curbside Collection for the October 2018
general local election be a Yes or No response to the following statement:
“I support paying $270 per year per household for the following service:
•Kitchen scraps and green waste curbside collection – weekly pickup;
•Garbage curbside collection – biweekly (every two weeks) pickup;
•One set of totes/cans per household included”; and further
That the non-binding plebiscite ballot include the supplemental information on the sample ballot
attached to the September 18, 2018 report titled “Solid Waste Curbside Collection Plebiscite.”
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
Council has deliberated the subject of residential solid waste curbside collection as a
municipal service on several occasions in this term as well as previous terms and has
received a number of reports on the subject. Staff was directed to establish the costs for
implementing this service. A separate Council report dated September 18, 2018 will follow
up on that direction.
In October 2017 Council directed staff to conduct a plebiscite for the provision of solid waste
curbside collection. In June 2018, Council reviewed a draft ballot, noting general agreement
with the format and approach, acknowledging it would be brought back for final approval
once the per household cost was determined.
This report seeks final Council approval for the plebiscite question, including annual per-
household charge and supplemental information that will form the ballot given to voters in
conjunction with the October 2018 general local election.
1131
LF 2020639 Page 2 of 3
The results of the plebiscite are non-binding, in that Council will ultimately determine whether
to provide the service, regardless of the plebiscite results. Council will receive the results at a
public meeting in November 2018.
Council is asked to approve the information shown on the attached sample ballot, including
the question, annual per-household charge and supplemental information.
CONCLUSION:
Voters turning out for the general local election in October 2018 will be invited to provide their
opinion in a non-binding plebiscite to determine support for solid waste curbside collection. Council
direction on the plebiscite question, annual per-household charge and supplemental ballot
information is the subject of this report.

Please indicate whether you agree with the following statement:
I support paying $270 per year per household for the following service:
• Weekly kitchen scraps and green waste pickup;
• Biweekly (every two weeks) garbage pickup;
• One set of totes/cans per household included.
To Vote: Completely fill in the oval beside your answer to the question above.
YES NO
Additional information:
• This information is being collected by the City of Maple Ridge, to assist in determining
whether the City should provide a municipally-administered curbside pickup service for
garbage and green waste.
• All voters are asked to respond. However, if the service is implemented, only houses
and townhouses currently receiving City curbside recycling pickup would be eligible.
• The proposed charge is approximate and reflects first-year costs. It may be adjusted
annually as required to fund the program and would be on the annual property tax bill.
• The service would not be optional. If the service is implemented, all eligible residences in
the service area will be charged regardless of whether the service is used.
• The plebiscite result will be presented at a Council meeting open to the public in
November 2018 and is not binding on the current or future Councils.

FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Regular Council
SUBJECT: Train Whistle Cessation in Maple Ridge
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
In order to reduce the use of train whistling within City limits, staff have worked closely with
Transport Canada and CP Rail to determine the works required to bring its existing crossings up to
current safety standards. The City’s engineering consultant completed safety audits at the grade
crossings in early 2017 as part of the whistle cessation process. This audit identified as
improvement works, the need to install additional fencing at the Port Haney and Maple Meadows
way crossings. These improvement works have been approved by CP Rail and the works themselves
are currently in-progress. When the works are completed, the crossings will meet the prescribed
requirements of the Grade Crossing Regulations and Standards set forth by Transport Canada.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT pursuant to Section 23.1 of the Railway Safety Act, Council hereby resolves that the use of
train whistles be prohibited at the following public railway crossings in Maple Ridge:
Maple Meadows Way (Milepost 106.2), 113B Avenue (Milepost 105.61), Lorne Avenue (Milepost
105.32), Ditton Street (Milepost 105.21), 224 Street/Port Haney Wharf (Milepost 102.8), River
Road/Tamarack Lane (Milepost 101.47), 240 Street (Milepost 99.76), 287 Street (Milepost 93.8)
unless:
a)An emergency exists; or
b)Rules in force under section 19 or 20 of the Railway Safety Act require whistle use; or
a railway safety inspector orders whistle use under section 31 of the Railway Safety
Act.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
In accordance with Section 23.1 of the Railway Safety Act the City of Maple Ridge must pass
a resolution to implement train whistle cessation. The eight (8) at-grade crossings considered
for train whistle cessation are all part of the Cascade Subdivision (see Map in Attachment A)
and identified in the table on the following page:
1171
Table 1: Maple Ridge At-Grade Crossings Considered for Train Whistle Cessation
Crossing Milepost Name
1 106.2 Maple Meadows Way
2 105.61 113B Avenue
3 105.32 Lorne Avenue
4 105.21 Ditton Street
5 102.8 224 St./Port Haney Wharf
6 101.47 River Road/Tamarack Lane
7 99.76 240 Street
8 93.8 287 Street
The prescribed 8-Step Transport Canada procedure that staff have been following to
facilitate the elimination of train whistles is outlined as follows:
Step 1: Interest for whistling cessation is expressed.
Step 2: Municipality consults with the railway company.
Step 3: Municipality issues notifications and public notice.
Step 4: Municipality and railway assess the crossing(s) against the prescribed
requirements in the Grade Crossings Regulations and Standards.
Step 5: Municipality and railway agree that the crossing(s) meets the prescribed
requirements of the Grade Crossings Regulations and Standards.
Step 6: Municipality passes a resolution declaring that it agrees that whistles should
not be used in that area, thereby prohibiting train whistling.
Step 7: The railway company notifies Transport Canada and informs the municipality
within 30 days that it has arranged to have whistling ceased at the
crossing(s).
Step 8: Municipality and railway share the responsibility for monitoring and
maintaining the conditions that support the cessation of train whistling at the
crossing(s).
The City is currently at Step 6 of this process.
In early 2018, the City notified each “relevant association or organization” of Council’s intent
to adopt a motion to discontinue the use of the whistle. These organizations are formally
identified by the Federal Minster of Transportation and are listed in Attachment A to this
report. In addition to notification letters the Federal Minister of Transportation also requires
the City to issue a public notice of its intent to adopt a motion to discontinue the use of
whistles. The Notice of Intent was posted in the Maple Ridge News on September 12, 2018
and more detailed information including maps has also been posted on the City’s website.
To-date, the City has not received any objections from the relevant associations or
organizations and comments from the public have been decidedly mixed. Once Council
passes a resolution declaring that it agrees that whistles should not be used at the City’s
eight crossings Front Street crossings, staff will forward a copy of the resolution to the railway
companies and all relevant organizations.
Upon receipt of the resolution, the railway company (CP Rail) issues special instructions
under the Canadian Rail Operating Rules and notifies Transport Canada within 30 days that
it has arranged to have whistling ceased at the crossings.
b) Interdepartmental Implications:
Ongoing responsibility for monitoring and maintaining the conditions that support the
cessation of train whistling at the crossings as well as managing the relationships with
Transport Canada, CP Rail and other relevant organizations will comprise the collective
efforts of the City’s Engineering, Operations and Property Management departments.
c) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The fencing installations at Port Haney and Maple Meadows Way are currently budgeted at
$40,000, with an expectation that there will be incremental safety costs associated with
flagging operations during the actual installation. In addition, the expectation is that there
will also be some annual maintenance and insurance costs to support both the fencing
installation and any/all insurance requirements. These costs are continuing to be
determined in conjunction with CP Rail, but are not anticipated to be anything beyond
nominal.
CONCLUSION:
Upon the passing of this resolution the City can move forward in prohibiting the use of train whistles
at the eight, public Maple Ridge railway crossings which will reduce the noise impacts on existing
and future residents in the community.

REPORT: Pitt Meadows Airport Society–Public engagement for a new board of directors Page 1 of 2
Date: September 18, 2018
City of Maple Ridge
TO: Her Worship Mayor Nicole Read MEETING DATE: September 18, 2018
And Members of Council FILE NO: 2021205
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Pitt Meadows Airport Society – Permanent Board of Directors
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Last year, City Councils from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge each appointed three Councillors to
serve on a temporary Board of Directors for the Pitt Meadows Airport Society. The temporary Board
has made significant progress towards addressing the governance and vision of the Pitt Meadows
Regional Airport. A letter dated September 10, 2018 from Guy Miller, Pitt Meadows Airport Manager,
addressed to the Chief Administrative Officer of Maple Ridge (Appendix 1), requests that the society
members move towards compliance with the Pitt Meadows Airport Society Bylaws (Appendix 2), and
replace their temporary directors with new directors. This report recommends moving forward on a
public process to select the City’s four directors for the Pitt Meadows Airport Society Board of
Directors.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
That applications be sought for four (4) members for the Pitt Meadows Airport Society Board of
Directors, based on the process outlined in this report.
DISCUSSION:
The Pitt Meadows Airport Society Bylaws permit each City member to appoint four “member”
directors independently of the other member, and allows the eight directors appointed by the Cities
to appoint up to three “expert directors,” as subject matter experts. For simplicity, we will refer to
this board composition as a 4+4+3 board. While the temporary board includes City Councillors, it
was not originally envisioned that elected officials would serve as directors to the Pitt Meadows
Airport Society board, rather it be made up from citizens selected from the public to include people
with the necessary skills to govern the Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. The member directors can be
whomever Council chooses. Directors are generally appointed for a three year term, though the
Bylaws make provision for a first board to have staggered terms for directors of two and three years.
For the purpose of consistency with committees established by Council and transparency, staff
recommend advertising through local print media and communicate through the City’s website that
applications are being sought for four (4) director positions on the Pitt Meadow Airport Society Board.
Two directors will serve for a two year term and two directors for a three year term.
Council may also wish to consider appointment of staff to the Board. The Airport Manager favours a
smaller board (4+4) including one or two staff members from each City. The Airport Manager will
work with staff to create qualification criteria for the directors. Staff will also coordinate with the City
of Pitt Meadows to ensure continuity and alignment moving forward with a new board.
Once applications have been received and reviewed, staff will prepare a report to Council to
recommend potential directors which Council can consider for appointment. Council can then
remove the temporary directors and appoint four new member directors for Maple Ridge.

Date: September 18, 2018
CONCLUSION:
The temporary Board of Directors has made significant progress towards addressing the governance
and vision of the Pitt Meadows Regional Airport. The airport manager has requested that the
members of the Pitt Meadows Airport Society move towards compliance with the Society’s Bylaws
and appoint permanent directors. The City can facilitate this proactively by engaging the public’s
interest in serving on the board. Council can subsequently remove the temporary directors and
appoint new directors to the board.
