SUBJECT: First Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7218-2016
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7219-2016
11016, 11032, and 11038 240 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the three subject properties located on 11016, 11032,
and 11038 240 Street, from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to permit future subdivision into 8 single family lots and
15 townhouses.
The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan boundary and are designated
Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation designation. The applicant is requesting an
Official Community Plan amendment to change the designation to Medium Density Residential,
which allows the proposed RM-1 and R-3 zones. It is anticipated that the boundaries of the current
Conservation designation area will also require adjustment after an environmental assessment study
has been completed. The proposed OCP amendment can be supported because the properties are
located on 240 Street which is considered a Major Corridor. Furthermore the proposed density is
consistent with the surrounding neighbourhood.
The applicant intends to take advantage of the Density Bonus option in the Albion Area Plan for the
RM-1 zoned portion of the site, enabling the permitted floor space ratio of 0.6 to increase to 0.75 in
exchange for an amenity fee. The proposed Official Community Plan amendment to enable a
rezoning for eight R-3 single-family lots also triggers a Community Amenity Contribution through
policy 10-7:
’Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the development review
process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land use designation change
that would permit a higher density than currently permitted’
On March 14, 2016 Council approved a city-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program policy
that aligns with the policies in the Albion Area Plan, but also provides a revised amenity fee structure
that will apply to the subject application as follows:
-$2,000 per lot or dwelling unit in addition to the original $3,100 density bonus rate; and
-$5,100 per single family lot created.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1.That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7218-2016 be given first reading; and
2.That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7219-2016 be given first reading; and

3. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, D, E, F, and G
of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999, along with the information required
for an Intensive Residential Development Permit and Subdivision applications.

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Site Characteristics:
The subject properties located at 11016, 11032, and 11038 240 Street are approximately 2 acres
in total. The properties are generally flat, and are currently bounded by a single family residential
property to the north, east, and south, with 240 Street to the west and 110 Avenue to the south.
Seigel Creek is located on the adjacent site to the east, and protection and enhancement of the
environmentally sensitive areas around it are therefore required on the subject properties. (See SAMPLE
- 3 -
Appendix A) The property to the east is under application for a townhouse development. The property
to the west is under application to develop into intensive residential R-3 lots.
c) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the three subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to
permit future subdivision into 8 single family lots, not less than 285.93 m2, and a 15 unit townhouse
development. Access for all lots is proposed to be from a new lane created off of 110 Avenue. No
driveway accesses are permitted on to 240 Street as it is an arterial road where alternative access
(i.e. a new lane) is available.
d) Planning Analysis
Official Community Plan:
The development site is located within the Albion Area Plan boundary and is currently designated
Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation, allowing for One Family Urban Residential zones
like RS-1, RS-1b, R-1 and the Duplex zone RT-1. For the proposed development an OCP amendment
is required to re-designate the site to Medium Density Residential and Conservation to allow the
proposed R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zoning. The
proposed OCP amendment can be supported because the properties are located on 240 Street
which is considered a Major Corridor. The area is under development with higher density proposals;
properties further to the North and East are developing into RM-1, and properties to the south are
developed into R-3 lots. The proposed density is therefore consistent with the surrounding
neighbourhood.
The applicant also intends to take advantage of the Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program,
increasing the floor space ratio from 0.6 to 0.75 within the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
portion of the development. Policy 10-6 outlines the parameters for allowing an amenity contribution
through a Density Bonus in the Albion Area Plan and will apply to the density bonus proposed for the
RM-1 zoned portion of the site. Furthermore, policy 10-7 allows for a CAC to be charged on the R-3
zoned lots due to the OCP amendment application.
’10-6 Where a Density Bonus option is utilized in a multi-family development and the base
density is exceeded, an Amenity Contribution is to be applied to all the dwelling units on the
site’
’10-7 Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the development review
process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land use designation
change that would permit a higher density than currently permitted’
City-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program:
On March 14, 2016 Council approved the city-wide Community Amenity Contribution Program policy,
which permits amenity contributions for residential development throughout most of Maple Ridge,
including the Albion Area.
Item 5 of the Policy establishes a revised fee structure for the Albion Area Plan Community Amenity
Contribution Program, which requires that developments taking advantage of the Albion Density
Bonus will have an amenity contribution rate of $2,000.00 per lot or dwelling unit in addition to the
$3,100.00 density bonus rate.
SAMPLE
- 4 -
This proposal will result in a total amenity contribution of:
- $5,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit, and
- $5,100.00 per single family lot created
The final number of lots and amenity contribution will be determined at the time of approval of the
subdivision.
Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to
permit future subdivision into 8 single family lots, not less than 285.93 m2, and a 15 unit townhouse
development. Two separate zoning amendment bylaws are being proposed, one (number 7219-
2016) for 8 R-3 zoned lots and one (number 7218-2016) for 15 RM-1 zoned townhouses. Two
separate zoning bylaws will provide greater flexibility for the applicant in moving forward with one or
both of the uses of the project, together or separately. The minimum lot size for the current RS-3
(One Family Rural Residential) zone is 0.8 ha, and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-3
(Special Amenity Residential District) zone is 213m2. The minimum lot size for the proposed RM-1
(Townhouse Residential) zone is 557 m2. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone
will require a Development Variance Permit application.
Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required to
ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible housing styles that
meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring land uses.
Pursuant to Section 8.8 of the OCP, an Intensive Residential Development Permit application is
required to ensure the current proposal provides emphasis on high standards in aesthetics and
quality of the built environment, while protecting important qualities of the natural environment.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is
required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and
riparian areas.
Advisory Design Panel:
A Multifamily Residential Development Permit for the (RM-1) townhomes is required and must be
reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought
from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below:
a) Engineering Department;
b) Operations Department;
c) Fire Department;
d) Licences, Permits & Bylaws;
e) Parks Department;
f) School District;
g) Utility companies; and
h) Canada Post. SAMPLE
- 5 -
The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application
progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above.
This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time;
therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. We anticipate that this
evaluation will take place between first and second Reading.
f) Early and Ongoing Consultation:
In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community
Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early
posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City’s website, together with an invitation to the
public to comment.
g) Development Applications:
In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by
Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879–1999 as amended:
1. An OCP Application (Schedule A);
2. A complete Rezoning Application ( Schedule C);
3. A Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Application (Schedule D) for the RM-1 lots;
4. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E) for the RM-1 lots;
5. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F);
6. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G);
7. An Intensive Residential Development Permit Application for the R-3 lots; and
8. Two Subdivision Applications, one for the Single Family lots plus the RM-1 lot, and one for
the RM-1 subdivision into 15 units.
The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the
assessment of the proposal progresses.
CONCLUSION:
The development proposal is seeking an amendment to the Albion Area Plan to re-designate the
property to Medium Density Residential to provide for 8 Single Family R-3 (Special Amenity
Residential District) zoned lots and 15 townhouses utilizing the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone.
Justification has been provided to support the OCP amendment due to the sites location on a Major
Corridor and proximity to RM-1 and R-3 developments. This project intends to utilize the Density
Bonus option in the Albion Area Plan which will result in an Amenity Contribution of $5,100 per
Townhouse and Single Family lot created. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant first
reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. SAMPLE

2) Background:
The subject properties, located at 11016, 11032, and 11038 240 Street, are approximately 2 acres
in total. The properties are generally flat, and are currently bounded by a single family residential
property to the north, east, and south, with 240 Street to the west and 110 Avenue to the south.
Seigel Creek is located on the adjacent site to the east, and protection and enhancement of the
environmentally sensitive areas around the creek are therefore required on the subject properties.
(See Appendices A and B).
3) Project Description:
The current application proposes to rezone the three subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to
permit future subdivision into 8 R-3 zoned single family lots, not less than 285.93 m2, and a 15 unit
townhouse development. Access for all lots is proposed to be from a new lane created off of 110
Avenue. No driveway accesses are permitted on to 240 Street as it is an arterial road where
alternative access (i.e. a new lane) is available. The lane access is proposed to be a 9m thoroughfare
from 110 Avenue into the townhouse site, to comply with the Building Code and Fire Code
requirements for direct Fire Department vehicle access.
SAMPLE

4) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan boundary and are currently designated
Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation, allowing for One Family Urban Residential zones
such as RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential), RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density)
Residential), R-1 (Residential District) and the Duplex zone RT-1. For the proposed development, an
OCP amendment is required to re-designate the subject properties to Medium Density Residential
and amend the Conservation area to allow the proposed R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District)
and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zoning. Areas will be dedicated and covenanted as compensation
for the required setback from Siegel Creek. The proposed OCP amendment can be supported
because the properties are located on 240 Street which is identified as a Major Corridor. The area is
under development with higher density proposals; properties further to the north and north-east,
along the corner of 112th and 240 Street, are developing into multi family RM-1 townhouse sites,
and properties to the south are already developed into single family R-3 lots. The proposed density is
therefore consistent with the surrounding developing neighbourhood.
The applicant also intends to take advantage of the Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Program,
increasing the floor space ratio from 0.6 to 0.75 within the proposed RM-1 (Townhouse Residential)
portion of the development, as well as for the R-3 zoned Single Family lots on 240 Street. Policy 10-6
outlines the parameters for allowing an amenity contribution through a Density Bonus in the Albion
Area Plan and will apply to the density bonus proposed for both the R-3 and RM-1 zoned portions of
the site. Furthermore, policy 10-7 allows for a CAC to be charged on the R-3 zoned lots due to the
OCP amendment application.
’10-6 Where a Density Bonus option is utilized in a multi-family development and the base
density is exceeded, an Amenity Contribution is to be applied to all the dwelling units on the
site’
’10-7 Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the development review
process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land use designation
change that would permit a higher density than currently permitted’
Community Amenity Contribution Program:
On April 11, 2016, Council adopted the Community Amenity Contribution Program (CAC) policy, which
permits amenity contributions for residential development throughout most of Maple Ridge,
including the Albion Area. The CAC contribution rate is $5,100.00 per single family lot created and
$4,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit, for a total estimated contribution of $102.300,00.
The Albion Area Plan Community Amenity Contribution Program will result in an additional density
bonus contribution of $3,100.00 density bonus rate for the 23 dwellings proposed, for a total
estimated contribution of $71,300.00.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural
Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District), and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) to
permit future subdivision into 8 single family lots, not less than 285.93 m2, and a 15 unit townhouse
development. Two separate Zone Amending Bylaws are being proposed, Bylaw # 7219-2016 for 8
R-3 zoned lots and Bylaw # 7218-2016 for 15 RM-1 zoned townhouses. Two separate zoning bylaws SAMPLE
- 5 -
will provide greater flexibility for the applicant in moving forward with one or both of the uses of the
project.
iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The proposed single family lots will provide for double car garages, with the exception of lots 1 and 2
which will have double parking pads on site, to accommodate the required of two parking spaces on
site. The townhouse development will consist of eight double car- and seven tandem parking
garages, plus 3 visitor parking spots, which is in compliance with the Off Street Parking and Loading
Bylaw.
iv) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the
following relaxations (see Appendix E):
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, section 602 RM-1 Townhouse Residential
District, to reduce:
A. the height restrictions for buildings from 11m to 11.3m;
B. the front setback from 7.5m to 6m; and
C. the rear setback from 7.5m to 7.05m.
The requested variances will be the subject of a future Council report.
v) Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is required for
the townhouse development, 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 8.8 of the OCP, an Intensive Residential Development Permit application is
required for the single family lots, to ensure the current proposal provides emphasis on high
standards in aesthetics and quality of the built environment, while protecting important qualities of
the natural environment.
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”
SAMPLE
- 6 -
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural
environment and for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
vi) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed development and
the landscaping plans at a meeting held on January 11, 2017. (see Appendices E, F and G)
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made the
following resolution:
That the application be supported and the following concerns be addressed as the design
develops and be submitted to Planning staff for follow-up.
01. Provide 8 inch pipe for culvert instead of 6 inch.
02. Provide planting instead of sod on slope of the bio-swale.
03. Consider extending bio-swale to 240th Street along the single family residential.
04. Consider linking the trail to the mailbox area.
05. Provide a barrier between visitor-parking and play area.
06. Provide feature paving at pathway entrances between the buildings.
07. Show location of fire hydrants.
08. Ensure utilities located onsite are properly landscaped and screened.
09. Provide minimum 8 x 8 posts instead of 6 x 6 for the public pergola.
10. Provide different surface texture at the lane entry between building 1 and 3.
11. Provide hardie siding in lieu of vinyl.
12. Consider maintaining a strong brick base at the corner to delineate a façade.
13. Consider more residential scale bollard.
14. Provide a covered landscape structure or treatment for mailbox area.
15. Match material and style between the developments for the fences and arbors.
16. Specify material for arbors and pergola.
17. Provide detail for garbage and barbeque area.
18. Provide more details in regards to the location of the garden shed shown on landscape
details.
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 Thomas Haney Secondary on February 9, 2017.
Two 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:
‘No parking on 240 Street or 110 Avenue since it is already hard to get out of street’
SAMPLE
- 7 -
The following is provided in response to the issues raised by the public:
The applicant is providing off street parking spots in accordance with the Off Street
Parking and Loading Bylaw. For this application, there will be no parking spots added on
240 Street or 110 Avenue.
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
properties and this land will be required to be dedicated as a condition of Final Reading.
5) Environmental Implications:
It has been determined that a 30m setback is required from top of bank next to Siegel Creek. Given
the limited area at the site, a reduced setback has been negotiated to accommodate a suitable
development and environmental enhancement. Compensation proposed is in line with past practices
and consists of watercourse area enhancement, protection and park dedication.
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 emailed to School District No.
42 and no feedback has been provided yet. The subject properties are within Albion Area, in which a
new school site has been allocated.
7) Intergovernmental Issues:
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, is considered to be minor in nature.
It has been determined that no additional consultation beyond existing procedures is required,

b) Project Description:
This site is being developed for eight (8) single family lots and 15 units of town housing. The single
family component is subject to an Intensive Residential Development Permit, which through the
delegation bylaw is reviewed and issued by the Director of Planning. The Townhouse development
permit is subject to Council review and issuance, and is the subject of this report.
This form and character Multi-Family Development Permit is for a 15 unit townhouse development
with a density of 46.63 units per hectare (18.87 units per acre). The development will comprise of 4
buildings, consisting of the following unit count:
Building One will consist of 6 units facing onto 110th Avenue with parking at the rear of the
building orientated into the site;
Building Two will consist of 3 units with the front of the building orientated east to take
advantage of the conservation area. The parking of these units will be located on the west
side of the building which is oriented to inside of the development.
Building Three will consist of 4 units facing onto a new lane with parking at the rear of the
building orientated into the site.
Building Four will consist of 2 units (duplex) facing onto a new lane with parking at the rear of
the building orientated into the site.
Access to this development is by way of a new north-south lane off 110 Avenue, to be shared
between the single family residential units (e.g. Individual detached garages) and the Townhouse
(e.g. one main access).
Access is not allowed to the single family lots from 240th Street because it is classified as collector
road. A lane is a standard requirement. The width of the land from 110 Avenue to the Townhouse
entrance is wider (9m) than the remainder of the lane to the north (7m). This wider width is required
to achieve Building and Fire code access for emergency vehicles that may need to access the
Townhouse site.
The parking for the townhouse development consists of the following:
7 units have tandem parking totaling 14 stalls or 43% of all the parking;
8 units have double parking spaces, totaling 16 stalls or 57% of all the parking;
3 visitor spaces; and
1 parking stall design for disabled parking.

c) Planning Analysis:
Official Community Plan
The subject property is located within the Albion Area Plan and as part of the rezoning process of the
property a portion of the subject property was re-designated with the adoption of Official Community
Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7326-2017, from Conservation and Low/Medium Density Residential to
Medium Density Residential to facilitate the Townhouse site. With these designation changes the
land adjacent to Siegel Creek will be protected.
The Medium Density Residential designation supports RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone. The
proposed development will be using the Density Bonus provision, which allows the floor space ratio
to increase from 0.6 to 0.75. in accordance with the forgoing Albion Plan Policies 10.6 and 10.7
which states the following:
"Policy 10-6 Where a Density Bonus option is utilized in a multi-family development and the
base density is exceeded, an Amenity Contribution is to be applied to all the dwelling units
on the site"
"Policy 10-7 Maple Ridge Council may consider Density Bonuses as part of the
development review process for Albion Area Plan amendment applications seeking a land
use designation change that would permit a higher density than currently permitted".
The applicant has voluntarily paid the Albion Area Density Bonus Community Amenity Contribution of
$3,100.00 per unit; therefore 15 units equate to $46,500.00 being collected by the City.
City Wide Community Amenity Contribution Program
On April 11, 2016, Council adopted the Community Amenity Contribution Program (CAC) policy which
permits community amenity contribution for residential development at the rate of $4,100.00 per
townhouse unit; therefore, 15 units equate to $61,500.00 which the applicant has voluntarily paid.
Zoning Bylaw
The subject property will be rezoned to RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone with the adoption of
Zoning Bylaw No. 7218-2016 which will be done in conjunction with the authorization to issue this
Development Permit. The proposed development is consistent with the RM-1 (Townhouse
Residential) zone. The proposal has requested variance the following variances to the RM-1
(Townhouse Residential) zone:
Increase the buildings height from a maximum of 11.0 m to 11.3 m;
Reduce the front yard setback from 7.5 m to 6.0 m;
Reduce the rear yard setback from 7.5 m to 7.0 m; and
Increase the retaining wall height from a maximum 1.2 m to 1.6 m.
A Development Variance Permit will be brought forward for Council’s consideration in conjunction
with this Development Permit.

Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Guidelines
Key Multi-Family Residential Development Permit Guidelines
“New development into established areas should respect private spaces, and incorporate
local neighbourhood elements in building form, height, architectural features and massing."
Architect’s Comment
Project site planning addresses adjacent Seigel Creek environmental issues, and interfaces
with proposed single family to the west and the existing single family to the south.
“Transitional development should be used to bridge areas of law and high densities, through
means such as stepped building heights, or low rise ground oriented housing located to the
periphery of higher density developments."
Architect’s Comments
The density of this project interfaces with the surrounding area by creating an enclave of 15
townhouses. The building massing is varied by roof designs, building materials and colour
schemes.
"Large scale development should be clustered and given architectural separation to foster
sense of community, and improve visual attractiveness."
Architect’s Comments
N/A
"Pedestrian circulation should be encouraged with attractive streetscapes attained through
landscaping, architectural details, appropriate lighting and by directing parking underground
where possible or away from public view through screened parking structures or surface
parking located to the rear of the property."
Architect’s Comments
Pedestrian Circulation is created thru the site to interact with Seigel Creek, and also the
110th Avenue street front.

d)Advisory Design Panel:
The development proposal was reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel (ADP) on January 10, 2017.
The ADP panel provided comments and recommendations to the Architect and Landscape Architect
to be considered. That ADP recommended that the professional work with Planning staff to
incorporate the comments and recommendations and that ADP does not need to review the project
again. Staff are now satisfied with the resulting design of the townhouse component of this
application.
e)Environmental Implications:
Staff issued Development Permit 2016-348-DP was issued for Stream Side Protection and Natural
Features.
f)Financial Implications:
In accordance with Council’s Landscape Security Policy, a refundable security equivalent to 100% of
the estimated landscape cost will be provided to ensure satisfactory provision of landscaping in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Development Permit. Based on an estimated
landscape cost of $126,780.60 the security will be $126,780.60.
There will be 16 trees added to the municipal street tree inventory on completion of this project. The
costs associated with maintaining these trees will need to be included in a subsequent operating
budget.
CONCLUSION:
The Development Permit application as submitted can be recommended for authorization to be
issued as it complies with the Multi-Family Development Permit Guidelines.

b) Project Description:
The rezoning application proposed to rezone the original three subject properties (11016, 11032
and 11038 240 Street) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-3 (Special Amenity Residential
District) and RM-1 (Townhouse Residential), to permit future subdivision into 8 R-3 zoned single
family lots, not less than 285m2, and a 15 unit townhouse development. The lots are consolidated
as a requirement of rezoning. Access for all lots is proposed to be from a new lane created off of 110
Avenue. No driveway accesses are permitted onto 240 Street, as it is an arterial road where
alternative access (i.e. a new lane) is available. The lane access is proposed to be a 9m thoroughfare
from 110 Avenue into the townhouse site, to comply with Building Code and Fire Code requirements
for direct Fire Department vehicle access.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Zoning Bylaw establishes general minimum and maximum regulations for single family
development. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval
process.
The requested variances and rationale for support are described below (see Appendices C, D and E):
In order to achieve the desired layout while ensuring the requirements for protection of the
watercourse and natural habitat, consideration has been given to accomplish a reasonable design,
while integrating dedication and compensation. Therefore, from an environmental planning point of
view, the proposed variances are supportable.
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 403 (8):
To increase the maximum retaining wall height, from 1.2m to 1.8m
SAMPLE

2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602 6.a):
To reduce the front yard setback, from 7.5m to 6m to the building face, and 3.8m to
the deck, and
To reduce the rear yard setback, from 7.5m to 7.0m, and
Reduce the exterior side setback, from 7.5m to 3.5m to the building face, and 1.3m
to the deck, and
To reduce the interior side setback, from 4.5m to 2.4m to the building face, and
0.6m to the deck
3. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 6, Section 602 (7a):
To increase the maximum building height, from 11m to 11.4m
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variances are supported because the townhouse units were designed in coordination
with park dedication and environmental compensation areas to fit into the neighbourhood context
and the lot design does not negatively impact surrounding residences.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2016-008-DVP.

b) Project Description:
The subject property located at 24021 110 Avenue was consolidated under rezoning application
2016-008-RZ, and is going to get subdivided under application 2016-347-SD, into 8 Single Family
lots, an access lane, and a townhouse site. The subsequent multi-family development permit has
been granted on September 19, 2017, together with final reading on the rezoning file.
c) Planning Analysis:
An Intensive Residential Development Permit is required for all new Intensive Residential
developments with R-3 (Special Amenity Residential District) zoning. Section 8.8 Intensive
Residential Development Permit Area Guidelines of the Official Community Plan (OCP) aims to
provide a greater emphasis on high standards in aesthetics, with the intent to provide an
environment that is safe, attractive, people-friendly and environmentally responsive. The key
guidelines for the development permit area are as follows:
1. Neighbourhood cohesiveness and connectivity should be maintained through the design of
varied yet compatible buildings, in materials used and in architectural styles, in landscapes
and in recreational areas, and by facilitating a range of transportation choices.
The single-family homes have been designed to have unique front elevations while
maintaining a compatible building design in terms of materials used and architectural styles.
Differing front elevations in number of gables and size, and number and location of windows
provide the varied look (see Appendix D).
2. A vibrant street presence is to be maintained through a variety of housing styles, by
maintaining street parking and by directing garage structures and off-street parking to the
rear of a property accessible by a lane.
All lots will be accessed off of a new constructed lane, also accessing the new townhouse
site on the east side of the property. Proposed Lots 1 and 2 have parking pads in accordance
with the corner visibility criteria, and driveway criteria in the Zoning Bylaw.
d) Requested Variance
A Development Variance Permit accompanies this Intensive Residential Development Permit to:
1. Increase the maximum height for retaining walls, from 1.2m to 1.8m (5.9ft)
The requested variance is the subject of a separate report to Council under application 2016-008-
DVP. This DVP will also address setback and height variances related to the townhouse portion of the
development.
SAMPLE
- 3 -
CONCLUSION:
This proposal conforms to the Official Community Plan for the Intensive Residential Development
Permit Guidelines, and the neighbourhood’s existing lot and road pattern. It is therefore
recommended that the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Intensive Residential
Development Permit 2016–347-DP respecting the property located at 24021 110 Avenue.

SUBJECT: Award of Contract ITT-EN-16-41: 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber
(Morrisette Place to Carmichael Street)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City’s Water Master Plan identified the need to construct a watermain to connect between Grant
Mountain Reservoir in the 224m upper Albion pressure zone and the 158m Albion pressure zone. The
project is in the current Financial Plan. The installation of a watermain on 108 Avenue from Morrisette
Place to Carmichael Street and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) chamber will provide the critical
connection for the two pressure zones and will provide additional drinking water to both Grant
Mountain and Albion zones as well as emergency water supply for firefighting purposes.
The 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber Project from Morrisette Place to Carmichael Street
generally consists of the installation of approximately 310m of 200mm diameter ductile iron
watermain, fire hydrants, PRV chamber, flow meter manhole, electrical kiosk, and surface restorations.
The Invitation to Tender was issued on June 16, 2016 and closed on July 14, 2016 with six (6) bids
received. The lowest compliant bid of $306,810.00 excluding taxes was submitted by Triahn
Enterprises Ltd. City staff have analyzed the tenders and recommend that the contract be awarded to
Triahn Enterprises Ltd. There is additional work by City crews to tie-in the new watermain to the City
water system.
Council approval to award the contract is required for the work to proceed.
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT Contract ITT-EN16-41, 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber (Morrisette Place to
Carmichael Street), be awarded to Triahn Enterprises Ltd. in the amount of $306,810.00 excluding
taxes; and
THAT a contract contingency of $50,000 be approved to address potential variations in field
conditions; and further
THAT the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the contract.
1106SAMPLE
DISCUSSION:
a) Background Context:
The connection between Grant Mountain Reservoir or the 224m upper Albion pressure zone
and the 158m Albion pressure zone was identified as part of the City Master Water Plan
Update and is in the current Financial Plan. The existing Grant Mountain Reservoir was built to
provide balancing fire storage support for Albion. The installation of watermain on 108 Avenue
from Morrisette Place to Carmichael Street and the PRV chamber will provide the critical
connection for the two pressure zones and provide additional drinking water to both Grant
Mountain and Albion zones as well as emergency water supply for firefighting purposes.
The 108 Avenue Watermain and PRV Chamber Project from Morrisette Place to Carmichael
Street generally consists of the installation of approximately 310m of 200mm diameter ductile
iron watermain, fire hydrants, PRV chamber, flow meter manhole, electrical kiosk, and surface
restorations.

The estimated construction duration is approximately twelve weeks starting in mid-August
2016. It is anticipated that traffic through the work zone will be reduced to single lan e
alternating for four to six weeks during watermain and PRV chamber installation from mid-
August to September. Some of the fronting properties may be impacted during water service
connection installations but residents will be notified in advance of the work. Every effort will
be made to minimize impact to residents fronting the watermain installation on 108 Avenue.
As well, the general public will be informed of the construction progress through the City’s
website and social media sources.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
The Operations Department has provided input during the design stage. Tie-ins to the live
water system will be completed by the Operations Department. A City staff inspector will
provide inspection services during construction.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
The projected expenditures excluding taxes are as follows:
Water Tie-ins by City Forces

SUBJECT: Thornhill Park Observation Well - License of Occupation
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
(FLNRORD) is interested in establishing an observation well in the Thornhill area to collect data on
the Grant Hill Aquifer and have suggested Thornhill Park as a potential location. The Ministry has
deemed the Grant Hill Aquifer to be of high importance to the local community as a result of
numerous complaints received regarding dry wells which have occurred in this area for several years.
This proposed observation well would be part of the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well
Network (PGOWN) used to collect water level and chemistry data on aquifers across the Province,
which is then shared with the public through Ministry websites. Municipal staff has reviewed the
proposed location within Thornhill Park, and a License of Occupation agreement provided by the
Ministry (Attachment 2) was reviewed by our legal advisors.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Thornhill Park Observation Well License of
Occupation with the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development
for the purpose of establishing an observation well for the Grant Hill Aquifer.
DISCUSSION:
a)Background Context:
The City has been approached by FLNRORD to provide a suitable location for an observation
well within the Thornhill/Grant Hill area as part of the Provincial Groundwater Observation
Well Network. PGOWN is operated through a joint partnership between FLNRORD and the
Ministry of Environment (MOE). Through these observation wells, groundwater level data is
collected hourly along with the groundwater chemistry data through seasonal or annual
sampling. Observation wells have been in operation since the 1960’s and there are 38
active observation wells in the South Coast region including one in Maple Ridge
(OW259/Aquifer #26) which has been collecting data on the Whonnock Aquifer for nearly 40
years.
FLNRORD identified a beneficial well location for monitoring the Grant Hill Aquifer on lands
owned by the City of Maple Ridge at Thornhill Park, and a site location was refined in
discussion with City staff (Attachment 1). The observation well is proposed to be located in
an area of the park which does not detract from park patrons’ enjoyment or Thornhill Hall
activities, with easy access from 98 Avenue and at an appropriate distance from Thornhill
1151SAMPLE
Hall’s septic field and existing well. FLNRORD proposes to undertake all work to establish
and maintain the observation well at their cost, including the utility locate, well drilling and
installation by a qualified contractor, and clean up. All costs, including the ongoing
maintenance of the well and decommissioning, would be the responsibility of
FLNRORD/MOE.
The Grant Hill Aquifer (#19), a large bedrock aquifer located in the southeast portion of
Maple Ridge, has been deemed by the Ministry to be of high importance to the local
community as a result of numerous complaints received over several years regarding dry
wells in this area. It is anticipated that data from the proposed Grant Hill Aquifer observation
well would be used to establish trends in groundwater levels, develop or refine hydrogeology
models, and inform groundwater management decision-making. Data collected from these
observation wells is provided to the public through two websites which serve different
purposes:
1) Groundwater Level Data Interactive Map:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-
water/water/groundwater-wells/aquifers/groundwater-observation-well-
network/groundwater-level-data-interactive-map
2) Real-time Water Data:
https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/water/water-
science-data/water-data-tools/real-time-water-data-reporting
A draft License of Occupation agreement provided by FLNRORD has been reviewed by the
City’s legal advisors and is attached for Council’s consideration (Attachment 2).
b) Desired Outcome:
The desired outcome is to provide a suitable site for an observation well within the Grant Hill
Aquifer area.
c) Strategic Alignment:
This recommendation supports the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network
program and will provide valuable groundwater information to our residents.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
The proposed observation well in Thornhill Park provides a location to monitor the sensitive
Grant Hill Aquifer, and the data obtained by the Ministry will be shared with the public.
e) Interdepartmental Implications:
Environmental Planning staff has been informed of the Provincial Groundwater Observation
Well Network program and has reviewed and endorsed the proposed well location.
f) Business Plan/Financial Implications:
All costs to establish, maintain and decommission the observation well will be borne by the
Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development. SAMPLE
g) Alternatives:
The alternative would be to decline the offer of a License of Occupation with FLNRORD and
direct staff to recommend other nearby lands within the Grant Hill Aquifer area that may be
suitable. This is not recommended as the location identified in Thornhill Park is considered
by both the Province and the City’s Environmental Planning staff to be a beneficial well
location for monitoring the Grant Hill Aquifer, and would not detract from park patrons’ use
and enjoyment of the park and Thornhill Hall activities.
CONCLUSIONS:
The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development has observation
wells in many locations throughout the Province as part of the PGOWN program. The City has
received a request from the Ministry for a well in Thornhill Park which will enable the monitoring of
ground water levels of the Grant Hill Aquifer which is of high interest due to numerous dry well
complaints received by the Ministry. Establishment, maintenance and observation activities for the
well would not significantly impact park use and enjoyment or Thornhill Hall activities. All costs
including the well drilling, installation and clean up, monitoring equipment, ongoing maintenance of
the well and decommissioning would be the responsibility of FLNRORD.
