FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: First and Second Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7499-2018;
Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018;
23084 Lougheed Highway and 23100 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties located at 23084 and 23100
Lougheed Highway (Appendix A and B) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-4 (Multiple
Family Residential District), to permit future construction of approximately 32 townhouse units in six
(6) buildings. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018 (see Appendix
D) and considered the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP)
amendment on March 18, 2018.
First reading has the purpose of determining if the use and density of a project is acceptable to
Council. For this application, Council did grant first reading and expressed some reservation that the
density may be too great (tantamount to a Floor Space Ratio (FSR) bonus of about 0.15), about
parking sufficiency due in part to the tandem arrangement (one space behind the other rather than
side-by-side) and the lack of any on-street parking and affordable or adaptive housing (e.g. housing
designed for people to age in place).
On October 2, 2018, a second reading report (see Attachment), incorporating changes to address
the first reading concerns was considered by Council. The changes included:
Increasing the number of visitor’s parking spaces from 7 to 9; improving storage space in
garages to avoid household storage from taking up parking spaces in garages; and facilities
for bicycle maintenance; and
Incorporating some features to accommodate aging in place like charging stations for
mobility devises in garages, wall substructure ready for installation for grab bars and the
likes in washrooms and some kitchen cabinet features.
Council tabled the second reading report (see Attachment) on October 2, 2018, due to continued
concerns related to density, parking, proposed aging-in-place measures, park access (Morley Creek
conservation lands to the west) and fire access.
This report presents the applicant’s further response to these matters and an assessment from staff.
1101
-2 -
Since the October 2, 2018 meeting, the applicant has confirmed that:
a voluntary contribution will be made under the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC)
Program, as required by Council, at a rate of $4,100 per townhouse dwelling unit, for an
estimated amount of $131,000; and
a further voluntary contribution will be provided amounting to $159,000, in line with the
City’s Density Bonus Program Allocation to Affordable Housing to gain the desired additional
density of about 0.15 FSR (e.g. proceeding with the RM-4 zone rather than with the RM-1
zone).

2)Project Description:
Site conditions:
The site (Appendix A) consists of two lots forming a triangle-shaped development site with a total of
0.125 HA (2.8 acres) before road and park dedication. The portion of the site closest to Lougheed
Highway is developable, but much of the western portion has significant slopes in the vicinity of
Morley Creek. The site is generally flat and sloping gently southwards, except for steep slopes along
the west and a ponding area along a short portion of the Lougheed Highway in the north. The site
contains trees, many of which are in the environmentally sensitive area proposed to be preserved. A
tree management plan will be required for the removal of trees in the developable are of the site.
Proposal:
The proposal is for approximately 32 townhouses in six (6) buildings. Vehicle access will be right turn
in and right turn out on Lougheed Highway. A total of 10 of the 32 units will have two (2) side-by-side
garage parking spaces and 22 will have two (2) tandem parking spaces (October 2, 2018 report
Appendix E, F & G). The resulting ratio of 40% (“side-by-side”) to 60% (tandem) provides slightly more
“side by-side” garages than the general rule of 30% to 70%. A total of 9 visitor parking spaces, two
(2) more than required are being provided. There is one disabled parking space.
The units facing Lougheed Highway will be designed to front on the highway and front yards with
pedestrian access to the sidewalk along Lougheed Highway (Appendix H). A narrow band of bio-
swales and bio-filtration ponds, integrated with site landscaping, will run north-south behind the
western townhouses. There is also a central mail kiosk, garden area and child play area to be
provided.
Councils Concerns:
In considering the staff report with plans from the applicant reflecting the above changes addressing
first reading concerns, Council tabled this staff report (see Attachment) at its October 2, 2018
meeting due to continued concerns related to density, parking, proposed aging-in-place measures,
park access (Morley Creek conservation lands to the west) and access.
-5 -
Applicant’s Response to Council Concerns on October 2, 2018:
The following matters were raised by Council:
1.Density:
Background: A small portion of the site is developable. Most of the site must be
dedicated as a conservation area due to environmental and geotechnical constraints.
The concentration of the development on the developable portion results in a higher
density than can be accommodated by the typical RM-1 Zone (FSR = 0.60 maximum)
thus requiring the applicant to seek the RM-4 zone (FSR = 0.75 maximum) to achieve
the desired density.
Applicant response: Recognizing the Council strategy that such increases in density are
granted through the bonus density process (Density Bonus Program Allocation to
Affordable Housing), the applicant has opted to make the in lieu payment option for the
additional density being desired rather than developing affordable units on this site.
The proposed voluntary contributions would be:
Satisfying the City-wide Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) contribution
requirement by a voluntary contribution made under the Council CAC Program, at a
rate of $4,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit, for an estimated amount of
$131,000; and
Satisfying the project-specific bonus density requirement by a further voluntary
contribution amounting to $159,000, in line with the City’s Density Bonus Program
Allocation to Affordable Housing to gain the desired additional density of about
0.15 FSR (e.g. proceeding with the RM-4 zone rather than with the RM-1 zone).
Staff Comment: This satisfies Council CAC and Density Bonus policies. These voluntary
payments have been added to the terms and conditions to be satisfied by the applicant
before final reading (see condition xiv and xv in recommendation section).
2.Parking:
Background: In accordance with the Off-street Parking and Loading Bylaw, two (2)
parking spaces are provided for each townhouse. They are side-by-side for 22
townhouses and tandem (which is one behind another) for 10 townhouses.
The two issues of Council are:
A Council Workshop report dated May 27, 2013, established practices
respecting tandem spaces for townhouses. One is having a space, referred to
as an apron, in front of each tandem garage so there is room to leave a car
before backing out into the circulation aisles in front of the townhouse unit.
Such an apron was not provided; and
Given there is a lack of any on-street parking (no parking on Lougheed
Highway), Council questioned if there is sufficient parking in the garages should
residents use their parking spaces for household storage.
Applicant Response: The applicant has reiterated that the measures they proposed in
the tabled second reading report respond to Council’s concern. These measures
included: providing space for storage in each garage; the proportion of tandem spaces
follows the industry practice; and having a restrictive covenant prohibiting parking
spaces in garages from being used for storage addresses Council concerns. There are
-6 -
also two (2) more visitor parking spaces, required by the bylaw, to compensate for the
lack of any on-street parking.
Staff Comment: The RM-4 zone requires parking to be located underground. This is
due in part for adequate space to be available for open space and the siting of a
greater number of units in comparison to the RM-1 zone. Less land is used for vehicle
circulation and parking can be situated to be below or relatively easily accessible to
residents of the units that they serve.
The triangular shape of the lot, potential geotechnical constraints for an underground
structure and proximity to the large conservation area is the rationale for a variance to
allow parking located in individual garages. This has occurred in other RM-4 proposals
in the past, including a project further west on Lougheed Highway; however, granting
such a variance is entirely within Council’s digression when considered to be necessary
and justified. Council is under no obligation to support variances and in cases where
Council does not entertain a variance; a developer would need to adhere to bylaw
requirements.
As for parking design, tandem spaces do require an apron between the garages and
drive aisle, something not provided in this project. It would be difficult to provide such
aprons at the density being proposed, particularly in the northern part of the site where
it is considerably narrower.
3.Aging-in-place Measures:
Background: Initial negotiation with the applicant concerning rental and adaptive
housing (e.g. housing that has measures to make dwellings safe and comfortable as
the occupant ages), the applicant responded with some measures typically associated
with OCP Policy 3 – 33, which states that Maple Ridge will encourage housing that
incorporates “age-in-place” concepts and seniors housing designed to accommodate
special needs. The applicant has proposed to provide plug-ins to charge mobility
devises (e.g. scouters), mid height plug and switches, backing behind drywall in
bathrooms to attach grab bars, etc., and some adaptability for kitchen cabinets.
Council expressed the desire for adaptive units to be more fully compliant with the BNC
Building Code requirements.
Applicant Response: The applicant advised that the proposed townhouses are three
storey structures. Given living space is not on a single level, full adaptive standards, are
not possible. The installation of elevators in townhouse units is rarely done in the type
of townhouses typically marketed in this and other communities.
Staff response: It appears that the measures for aging-in-place, are limited in the case
of walk up townhouse units and the applicant has provided a reasonable level of
measures in a number of the townhouses to be built. Furthermore, in addition to
providing CACs, the applicant has also offered to make a voluntary contribution in
accordance with Council Density Bonus Program Allocation to Affordable Housing Policy
in lieu of building some fully-compliant adaptive units. The combination of partially
compliant adaptive dwelling units and the additional voluntary contribution is deemed
to satisfy Council policy.

4.Adequacy of Access:
Background: A single access to the development is proposed. The steepness of the
slopes bordering the site prevents access to the adjoining proposed development
(Polygon). The Fire Department provided the following comments respecting access:
All fire department access routes must be designed and rated for the following
specifications
o Minimum of 35,000 kg with a minimum force of 70 P.S.I
o Turning radius of vehicle - Inside radius R = 35' 6" - Outside radius R = 53'
Lane to be posted “FIRE LANE – NO PARKING”
Be a minimum carriage way of 6 metres in width.
Overhead roof at main entrance to have an overhead clearance not less than 5
metres and clearance to be posted with visible permanent signage.
Applicant Response: The applicant has advised staff these requirements have been
reflected in their development permit plan. Further, that their Traffic Engineer has
confirmed that the proposed single access on 23100 Lougheed Highway is viable for
emergency vehicles use based on dimension and layout.
Staff comment: The Fire Department has commented one access is satisfactory for this
project and not an operational problem. The building permit application process will
ensure construction meets all safety and access requirements, as well as, such further
details as fire hydrant locations, a site map installed at main entrance denoting the
layout of development and unit numbers, construction safety plan, etc.
5.Park Access:
Background: To the west across Morley Creek, is a development being constructed by
Polygon. This trail system is being constructed on the west side of the creek. Council
discussed having a pedestrian connection from the subject development, across
Morley Creek to the Polygon trail system. This would allow residents of the subject
property to gain direct access to a one acre City park being developed in the centre of
the Polygon Development and the small commercial centre beside this park.
Applicant Response: The applicant is prepared to work with the City to determine if
such a link is feasible, determine its location and at their cost to construct it.
Staff Comment: A condition has been added to the third reading conditions (condition
x) to determine, if feasible, the most appropriate location and appropriate design for a
trail interconnection to the Polygon Trail system. More details will be provided to
Council in a future development permit report about the form and character and
landscaping for the project.
CONCLUSION:
The earlier second reading report (see Attachment) explains in greater detail:
how the applicant has addressed the concerns of Council out of first reading;
compliance with applicable OCP policies and the Zoning Bylaw
the modification to address Council concerns at first reading
setback variances and their justification and efforts at conservation of natural features;
satisfactorily address Advisory Design Panel concerns; and
-8 -
the inter-department comments that have been or will be addressed as the application
progresses.
This report outlines the applicant’s response to the concerns of Council leading to the tabling of the
second reading report. With respect to the 4 issues:
Density bonus from RM-1 to RM-4 and aging-in-place measures: The applicant agreed to make a
voluntary payment under the City’s Density Bonus Program Allocation to Affordable Housing in
lieu of affordable housing or adaptive units allowing aging-in-place. The City accepted the
applicant’s explanation that, for the target market, all measures associated with adaptive units
are not feasible for this townhouse development.
Parking: There are two (2) more visitor parking spaces than required by bylaw and the garage
design endeavors to provide storage space for bicycles, mobility devises and household goods.
Aprons are not provided for tandem spaces in part due to tight development site conditions;
Fire Access: The Fire Department has commented that one access is sufficient to serve this site
and is not an operational problem.
Trail Access: The applicant and their Qualified Environmental Professional are prepared to work
with the City to determine if a pedestrian crossing across Morley Creek is feasible and to pay for
such construction.
Given the forgoing, it is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw
No. 7499-2018, that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018, and that
application 2017-390-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018;
23084 Lougheed Highway and 23100 Lougheed Highway
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject properties located at 23084 and 23100
Lougheed Highway (Appendix A and B) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-4 (Multiple
Family Residential District), to permit future construction of approximately 32 townhouse units in six
(6) buildings. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018 and considered
the early consultation requirements for the Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment on March 18,
2018. There were some density and parking issues raised by Council. The applicant’s response to
these issues is included in this report.
An Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment is required. Ground-truthing on the site has
established the developable areas, and as a result, an OCP amendment is required to revise the
boundary between the Conservation and Urban Residential to fit the site conditions in accordance
with the professional of record respecting environmental and geotechnical setbacks as well as
environmental compensation areas.
Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC)
Program at a rate of $4,100.00 per townhouse dwelling unit; for an estimated amount of $131,000.
In addition, Council endorsed the staff report “Density Bonus Program Allocations to Affordable
Housing.” This Council decision directs staff to amend the density provisions in the Zoning Bylaw,
including the RM-1 and RM-4 zones, to require payment of additional CAC’s for bonus density when
requested by applicants. For this project, there is a bonus density being sought to achieve the
applicant’s desired townhouse density. As described further in this report, pursuing the RM-4 rather
than the more typical RM-1 zone is tantamount to the bonus density amendment staff has been
instructed to implement. Council may wish to pursue a bonus density CAC as an additional condition
of final reading.
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. 7442-2018 on the municipal website and requiring that the applicant host a
Development Information Meeting (DIM), and Council considers it unnecessary to provide any
further consultation opportunities, except by way of holding a Public Hearing on the bylaw;

2) Project Description:
Site conditions:
The site (Appendix A) consists of two lots forming a triangle-shaped development site with a
total of 0.125 HA (2.8 acres) before road and park dedication. The portion of the site closest to
Lougheed Highway is developable, but much of the western portion has significant slopes in
the vicinity of Morley Creek. The site generally flat and sloping gently southwards, except for
steep slopes along the west and a ponding area along a short portion of the Lougheed Highway
in the north. The site contains trees many of which are in the environmentally sensitive area
proposed to be conserved. A tree management plan will be required.
- 4 -
Proposal:
The proposal is for approximately 32 townhouses in six (6) buildings. Vehicle access will be
right turn in and right turn out on Lougheed Highway. A total of 10 of the 32 units will have two
(2) side-by-side garage parking spaces and 22 will have two (2) tandem parking spaces
(Appendix E, F & G). The resulting ratio of 40% (“side-by-side”) to 60% (tandem) provides
slightly more “side by-side” garages than the general rule of 30% to 70%. A total of 9 visitor
parking spaces, two (2) more than required are being provided; however, this may need to be
modified in the final development permit plans to allocate a space for disabled parking.
The units facing Lougheed Highway will be designed to front on the highway and front yards
with pedestrian access to the sidewalk along Lougheed Highway (Appendix H). A narrow band
of bio-swales and bio-filtration ponds, integrated with site landscaping, will run north-south
behind the western townhouses. There is also a central mail kiosk, garden area and child play
area to be provided.
Applicant’s Response to Council Concerns:
At first reading, Council requested that the applicant address their comments about the
following in their detailed submission for second reading:
tandem parking aprons;
the sufficiency of on-site parking given there is no on-street parking and habit of
individuals using garage spaces for household storage impacting the availability of
parking; and
provision of some rental or other special housing for the density gain obtained by
pursuing RM-4 rather than seeking the typical RM-1
Their proposed solutions are described and analyzed by staff in separate sections of this
report.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
This project complies with environmental policies in setting an appropriate conservation
boundary and achieving a character suitable for a development on a Major Corridor.
For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required for the Conservation
Designation boundary to reflect ground-truthing accepted by the City based on the
recommendation of the qualified environmental professional and the geotechnical engineer
retained by the applicant. The Urban Residential designation as fine-tuned accommodates
the proposed development and the proposed RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential) zoning.
Policy 3-18 in the OCP categorises residential development as having either Neighhourhood
Residential Character or Major Corridor Residential Character. This site is located on
Lougheed Highway, which is a Major Transportation Corridor. Consequently, the project’s
character is subject to the latter of the two categories in accordance with Policies 3-20 and
3-21 respecting Major Corridor Residential Infill. The main applicable aspects of these
policies including:
- 5 -
Major Corridor Residential infill must be designed to be compatible with the
surrounding neighbourhood
The subject site abuts an older townhouse development to the south and across Lougheed
Highway. Also across Lougheed Highway and to the northeast is a single family residential
subdivision by Polygon / Morningstar (2015-0269-RZ) at the subdivision review stage.
Across a ravine and creek system to the west is the southern portion of the Polygon site,
where additional townhouses and a small commercial mixed use building are to be
developed in phases.
Among the criteria respecting compatibility are the following:
A maximum height of two and one-half storeys with an emphasis on ground oriented
units – Though still in the conceptual stage, the units will be ground oriented and be
either 2 ½ or 3 storeys in height.
Compatibility between building massing and the type of dwelling units in the proposed
development and the surrounding residential properties - The proposed use of the
subject site, though somewhat isolated by the ravine and Lougheed Highway, is
contextually compatible with the surrounding existing or proposed uses.
Street orientation – The units on Lougheed Highway will be required to have a front
yard and pedestrian access from each townhouse to the sidewalk along Lougheed
Highway. This would be similar to the design of the closest RM-4 zoned development
along the Lougheed Highway but addressed off Telosky Avenue (22865 Telosky
Avenue) located a short distance to the north and across from Telosky Stadium.
Compliance with the criteria will be secured through Development Permit approval later
in the application review process.
Retention and preservation of significant trees, other natural vegetation, and
environmental features – This criteria is being achieved through: trees being retained
in the ravine being dedicated for conservation, the way the townhouse buildings closest
to the ravine are proposed to be arranged and the bio-filtration area proposed to be
located as a buffer between the townhouse buildings and conservation area.
The proposal complies with these criteria. The final development permit plans will be
forwarded in a separate report to Council in concert with final reading for issuance.
OCP Policy 3 - 33 states that Maple Ridge will encourage housing that incorporates “age-in-
place” concepts and seniors housing designed to accommodate special needs. The
applicant has proposed to provide plug-ins to charge mobility devises (e.g. scouters), mid
height plug and switches, backing behind drywall in bathrooms to attach grab bars, etc, and
some adaptability for kitchen cabinets. These are all supportive of “age-in place”
objectives. The applicant prefers not to have units that are designed and built in
accordance with Section 3.2.5 BC Building Code Adaptive Dwelling Unit regulations. These
regulations include measures like: wider hall corridors, wider doors to one bedroom and
wider doors to one washroom with more space to allow a resident to more easily navigate
using a walker or wheelchair.
The final plans need to identify which units will have “age-in-place” incorporated either in
the manner proposed by the applicant and/or some units to the above mentioned Building
Code regulations.
-6 -
OCP Policy 5–8 states that Maple Ridge will continue to require the protection of
watercourses by requiring landowners developing their lands, rezoning properties within or
adjacent to lands or watercourses identified on the Natural Features Schedule C or
designated as Conservation on Schedule B have such areas dedicated as park land and be
designated as Conservation. The applicant is dedicating about 5,666 square meters (1.4
acres) or about 51% of the site as park.
The ESA boundaries for this project have been accepted by the City and reflected in the site
plan of this project. Dedication will be a requirement of third reading, through the
submission of a subdivision plan. This subdivision plan will consolidate the two subject
parcels as into a single development parcel and dedicate the identified Conservation
designated portion of the site as parkland.
ii)Zoning Bylaw:
Background:
The application is for the properties located at 23084 and 23100 Lougheed Highway to be
rezoned from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential) to
permit approximately 32 townhouses.
Density:
The subject site is constrained by the steep slopes and a watercourse along the western
part of the subject site. Compliance with the typical RM-1 zone would not work because
after the land is dedicated, the FSR would be exceeded (0.60 is the maximum and 0.73 is
proposed). Based on conceptual plans, Council accepted the applicant’s request and
granted first reading March 18, 2018, to proceeding with the RM-4 (Multiple Family
Residential), which allows a density 0.75 FSR.
To achieve a more focused and compact development envisioned by the applicant, the
higher density was deemed justified and proceeding under the RM-4 Zone simplifies the
process. This approach would be consistent with the existing zoning of a property further
north facing Lougheed Highway and addressed off Telosky Avenue (22865 Telosky Avenue);
however, a variance will be required and is acceptable in this instance (see variance
section for elabouration) as the RM-4 requires all underground parking for development at
such densities.
In July 2018, Council received the staff report and resolved that:
That a density bonus framework to encourage greater delivery of affordable, rental
and special needs housing through development as recommended in the staff
report entitled, “Density Bonus Program Allocations to Affordable Housing”, dated
July 17, 2018, be included in the new Zoning Bylaw.
Under this framework, a developer seeking more floor space (increased FSR) above the
maximum 0.60 FSR permitted by the RM-1 zone, has two ways of securing this extra floor
space, described as follows:
The entire extra floor area is made available as affordable housing; or
If a contribution is made equal to $215.28 per square metre of this extra floor area
for affordable housing to the City, freeing the extra space to form part of the overall
development.
- 7 -
The subject application, to rezone to RM-4 rather than to RM-1, is effectively seeking to
achieve the extra floor area that the “Density Bonus Program Allocations to Affordable
Housing” endorsed by Council is allowing through the second bullet point.
If applied to this application, the estimated floor area the applicant wishes to gain is an
extra 740 sq. m. (0.13 FSR). The cash contribution for this density being gained would be
(740 sq. m. times $215.28 equaling) $159,310.
With respect to use and density, the initial decision made by Council at first reading was
based on conceptual plans and preliminary information. With a full submission, the details
about developing the subject site at the higher 0.75 FSR (e.g. additional 0.15 FSR over the
usual RM-1 Zone) is more apparent. Council has the ability in considering second reading,
to apply the measures from the above noted report as one of the terms and conditions to
be completed by the applicant before final reading.
With respect to the OCP and policies governing bonus (or extra) density, the following apply:
OCP 2-9 Community Amenity Contributions and density bonuses may also be
considered at Council’s discretion for all Official Community Plan and
Zoning Bylaw amending applications that are seeking a higher density
than is envisioned in Schedule “A” and/or Schedule “B”, to help provide a
variety of amenities and facilities throughout the municipality.
OCP 3-30 Maple Ridge will consider density bonus as a means of encouraging the
provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing, and amenities.
Therefore, the project can be deemed to constitute an increase in density of 0.15 FSR over
the typical townhouse zoning.
In accordance with these policies and the direction Council gave staff by endorsing the
report “Density Bonus Program Allocations to Affordable Housing”, Council may have may
the desire to set as a term and condition for final adoption, that that the extra density
sought by the applicant be treated as a bonus density situation. If this is the case, the
applicant would need to pick either:
to voluntarily incorporate affordable, rental or seniors housing; or
to make a cash in-lieu contribution; or
a combination of the two.
This would be in addition to the across-the-board Community Amenity Contribution (CAC)
requirement to which this application is subject (see CAC section for elaboration).
Applicant’s Proposed Solution Respecting Density:
The provision of affordable units is not the solution being proposed by the developer.
Instead, the items in the table on the following page outlines the applicant’s proposed
solutions to address this Council concern:
- 8 -
Developers suggestion Staff Comment
1. Added indoor mobility device charging
outlets and space;
2. Added plywood backing in all bathrooms
and potential grab-bar locations;
3. Planned for mid-height outlets and light
switches; and
4. Included “last-in” kitchen sink cabinets.
Affordable housing or a payment in lieu is not
being proposed.
If the intention is to achieve the “age-on-place”
policies of the OCP, units will need to
incorporate the full adaptive dwelling unit
standards of the BC Building Code.
Council could require a Housing Agreement to
secure these requirements to be implemented
through the building permit approval process.
iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw:
Parking is being provided on site within enclosed parking garages associate with each
townhouse unit. The requirements are:
2.0 residential parking space per unit (2.0 times 32) for a total of 64 spaces;
0.2 visitor parking spaces per unit (0.2 time 32 = 6.4 rounded as required by the
Bylaw) for a total of 7; and
For sites with a parking requirement of between 26 and 75, one of the above
requires parking space is to be a disabled parking space.
The development will meet these requirements, except a surface disabled parking space
will need to be provided. The general rule of a 30%/70% ratio of “side-by-side” to tandem
parking is achieved with a 40%/60% split; however, there are no aprons in this project, as
typically provided with tandem parking in most other projects.
Applicant’s Proposed Solution Respecting Parking:
With respect to the parking matters raised by Council (e.g. the impact of garages potentially
being used for household storage with no on-street parking on Lougheed Highway and lack
of aprons being provided with tandem spaces), the table below outlines the applicant’s
proposed solutions to address this Council concern.
Developers suggestion Staff Comment
1. Increased the Visitors Parking from seven
(7) to nine (9);
Visitor parking is not usually an alternative to
resident parking; often strata bylaws ban
residents from parking in visitor parking spaces.
2. A section 219 Covenant on all Titles
restricting the use of car areas in garages
for storage
The enforceability of such a covenant and the
appropriateness of the City being a party to such
a covenant are both questionable.
3. Added 144 cubic feet of pre-built, flexible
indoor storage;
4. Added indoor, wall-mounted bicycle
storage; and
Staff has no objection to these, provided these
will be included in each of the units being
constructed.
5. Added a community bicycle repair centre.
Staff has no comment.
-9 -
Further staff comments: The apron matter was not addressed, in part, due to the
constrained nature of the developable lands, environmental factors and the higher FSR
being sought. No aprons are shown for any of the units with tandem parking garages.
The RM-4 Zone restricts the lot coverage of land for accessory off street parking use,
including visitor and disabled parking, to occupy not more than 2% of the surface of the lot
area. The number of visitor parking spaces may need to be reduced to comply with this
provision. This lot coverage calculation does not generally include circulation aisles,
driveways or aprons in front of garages.
The final parking design and numbers, including a verification of compliance with lot
coverage, will be done before the development permit report, as described in subsequent
sections of this report, is forwarded to Council,
iv) Proposed Variances:
A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves
the following relaxations (see Appendix D):
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, 603 RM-4 Multiple Family Residential
District, Section 6. Siting a) is to be varies from 7.5 meters from all lot lines to 4.5
metres to all lot lines except 5.31 metres for the lot lines to the park / creek areas.
This variance is necessary, in part, to allow a stronger pedestrian relationship for the street
facing units, to safeguard tree or root systems and to accommodate the parkland
dedication. Therefore, this variance is deemed justified.
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, 603 RM-4 Multiple Family Residential
District, Section 7. Size of Buildings and Structures a) is to be varied for selected units
(the taller “B” townhouses) from 11.0 metres to 11.62 metres.
The main reason for requesting this variance is to allow the main floor to have a 10 foot
ceiling height. As this is a marketing and liveabiliy feature, the variance is justified.
Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510 -1985, 603 RM-4 Multiple Family Residential
District, Section 8. Other Regulations a), c)and d) to:
o Vary the requirement that parking be located within an underground structure;
o Vary the requirement that surface parking, including a driveway for accessing such
parking, not be within an arc of 3 metres in radius measured from the nearest
surface of a window to a habitable room; and
o Vary the requirement for a continuous 90 degree horizontal arc being
unencumbered by buildings on the same lot.
These variances are necessary to permit the proposed siting of buildings to achieve the
environmental and geotechnical constraints; and the lot geometry with the site becoming
progressively narrower towards the north, thus bringing some units closer together. For
these reasons, the variance can be justified.
It might not be possible to vary the surface parking lot coverage requirement because it is
included as a density requirement in the RM-4 zone.
-10 -
The requested variances with a detailed analysis will be the subject of a future variance
permit report to Council in concert with final reading.
v)Development Permits:
Pursuant to Section 8.7 of the OCP, a Multi-Family Development Permit application is
required to ensure the current proposal enhances existing neighbourhoods with compatible
housing styles that meet diverse needs, and minimize potential conflicts with neighbouring
land uses.
Pursuant to Section 8.9 and Section 8.10 of the OCP, a combined Watercourse Protection
Natural Features Development Permit application is required for:
All developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of
all watercourses and wetlands;
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; and
All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Schedule “C”;
to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural
environment and for development that is protected from hazardous conditions.
vi) Advisory Design Panel:
The Advisory Design Panel (ADP) reviewed the form and character of the proposed
development and the landscaping plans at a meeting held on July 18, 2018 (see Appendix
E and F).
Following presentations by the project Architect and Landscape Architect, the ADP made
the following resolution that:
The following concerns regarding File No. 2017-390-DP be addressed and digital
versions of revised drawings & memo be submitted to Planning staff; and further that
Planning staff forward this on to the Advisory Design Panel for information.
Landscape Comments:
1.Consider adding more trees North of the community garden along the path;
2.Consider adding more buffering with plants from the community garden to the
adjacent residence on the West side;
3.Consider making the central circle garden in the community garden a space for
gardening complete with a seating wall;
4.Consider changing the shape of the circular paving in the central community garden
adjacent to the fence so as to meet the fence more squarely. Also consider including
a trellis to support vertical plant growth;
5.Provide detail for garden shed;
6.Coordinate the planting along the Western portion of the site with the native species
required within the environmental area;
7.Provide an entrance feature at the main driveway;
- 11 -
8. Reflect City of Maple Ridge requirements on the site and landscaping plans for the
turn restricted driveway entrance;
9. Provide pedestrian connectivity from the public sidewalk to the gathering area;
10. Provide waste and recycling receptacle in the gathering area;
11. Consider extending or reshaping the crossing area of special paving so it covers the
desire line from the mailboxes to the other end of the path on the East side of the
building to improve safety. Also review the desire line from the community garden into
the development where the path ends at the main driveway entrance;
12. Redefine the special paving to be spaced and used to slow down vehicular traffic
entering the development; consider radial landscape geometry that is currently in
place.
Architectural Comments:
1. Consider softening end units through articulation and materials and/or the addition of
windows, particularly in units visible from Lougheed Hwy;
2. Re-evaluate locations of glazing on end units the near roof peak;
3. Coordinate material transitions on facades;
4. Provide three dimensional renderings.
The revised plans were circulated and accepted by the ADP in addressing their concerns
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 in concert with final adoption.
vii) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at Kanaka Elementary School on Wednesday
June 27, 2018 from 6 to 8 pm. Two (2) people (one representing 62 strata unit owners in
the complex to the south) 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:
Like the amenity and usable open spaces which are designed in accordance with an
ecosystem;
Not all were in the favour of unit floor plans but they liked the designs overall;
Limit the number of powder room doors that opened directly into the kitchen;
Concerns about traffic speeds and access on Lougheed highway;
Difficulty of people taking turns towards townhomes from the Maple Ridge highway; and
Some increase in density is appropriate for the area.
The following are provided by the applicant in response to the issues raised by the public:
Bio-filtration was integrated into the landscaping plan as part of the stormwater
management on the site;
Some adjustments made to the floor plans and balcony placement;
Adjusted in plans;
Access restricted to right-turn-in and out to Lougheed Highway;
This was likely a reference to Haney Bypass access for the existing development to the
south. The subject site has access only to Lougheed Highway in the City’s jurisdiction;
and
-12 -
The proposed density complies with the RM-4 zone, which is higher than the typical
density townhouse zone (RM-1).
4)Environmental Implications:
The Environmental Planner has accepted the Environmental Assessment Report from the
applicant’s Qualified Environmental Professional. This report has established the required
setbacks from the creek and top of banks from both the geotechnical and environmental
perspectives. The exact boundary of the Conservation area to be dedicated as parkland and
the area to be subject to a stormwater restrictive covenant has been established. This
covenant is for bio-filtration ponds between the townhouses and the Conservation area
associated with the stormwater management strategy for this development.
The development and location of the proposed buildings and structures are in accordance with
the environmental and geotechnical setback recommended and accepted by the City.
5)Traffic Impact:
As the subject properties are located within 800 metres of the Lougheed Highway, a referral
has been sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Ministry approval of the Zone Amending Bylaw will be required as a condition of final reading.
At this time, the Ministry has granted preliminary approval of the development application.
6)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
A rezoning servicing agreement will be required for this project. It will include: insuring the
City standard for an urban arterial road with a bike route are achieved, any road widening,
upgrade to curbs, sidewalks, street trees and lighting to meet these standards and
servicing upgrades as normally secured through the rezoning process. Access will be
restricted to right turn in and out only. Discharge of on-site storm waters into Morley Creek
will need to incorporate adequate detention for 100 year storm events and may require
Provincial notification or approvals. These matters will be addressed in the normal fashion
as the application proceeds.
ii)Parks & Leisure Services Department:
Due to the steep slopes, trail connection within the Conservation area will not be required.
iii)License, Permits and Bylaws Department:
A few Building Code-related have been resolved or will be addressed at the building permit
stage, including: egress requirements from dwelling units; compliance for any units that
may be identified as adaptive dwelling units; and showing building height calculations on
elevation drawings.
-13 -
iv) Fire Department:
Final DP site plans and floor plans to include locations of fire related infrastructure such
as, fire hydrant(s), sprinkler room, electrical kiosks, etc. include lane measurements and
overhead obstruction clearances for review and acceptance. These matters will be
addressed in the normal fashion as the application proceeds.
7)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 August 13, 2018, with a reply dated September 24, 2018, indicated the following:
Golden Ears Elementary has an operating capacity of 491 students. For the 2017-18 school
year the student enrolment at this school was 523 students (94% utilization) including 178
students from out of attachment. Thomas Haney Secondary School has an operation capacity
of 1,200 students. For the 2017-18 school year the student enrolment at this school was
1,623 students (97% utilization) including 724 students from out of attachment.
8)Intergovernmental Issues:
i)Local Government Act:
An amendment to the OCP requires the local government to consult with any affected
parties and to adopt related bylaws in compliance with the procedures outlined in Section
477 of the Local Government Act. The amendment required for this application, to adjust
the boundary between the Conservation and Urban Residential designations, 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:
This development proposal has responded sensitively, albeit has a higher density than is typical of
townhouse projects, to significant site constraints, including: the triangular shape of the lot and
environmentally sensitive lands impacting about half the site. A series of bio-filtration ponds have
been integrated into the site landscaping achieving City stormwater management requirements.
In considering first reading, Council expressed concern with the additional density being sought
without some reciprocation in provision of affordable housing or a voluntary in lieu contribution and
with some aspects of the tandem parking being proposed. The applicant’s proposed solutions are
included in the main body of this report and assessed by staff with respect to applicable OCP
policies, Council’s evolving thinking about housing choice and affordability, common development
practices and the types of solutions attained though other similar development proposals.
-14 -
It is recommended that first and second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7499-2018,
that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7442-2018, and that application 2017-
390-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden MEETING DATE: November 13, 2018
and Members of Council FILE NO: 2017-580-RZ
FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: Council
SUBJECT: Second Reading
Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7421-2018
22866 128 Avenue
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 22866 128 Avenue, from
RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to R-1 (Residential District), to permit a future Bare Land
Strata subdivision of approximately seven lots. Council granted first reading to Zone Amending
Bylaw No. 7421-2018 on January 30, 2018.
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 $35,700.00.
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. There is not sufficient suitable land for park dedication on the subject property;
therefore, it is recommended that Council require the developer to pay to the City an amount that
equals 5% of the market value of the land required for parkland purposes, as determined by an
independent appraisal.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1)That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7421-2018 be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public
Hearing;
2)That Council require, as a condition of subdivision approval, the developer to pay to the City an
amount that equals 5% of the market value of the land, as determined by an independent
appraisal, in lieu of parkland dedication in accordance with Section 510 of the Local
Government Act; and,
3)That the following terms and conditions be met prior to final reading:
i)Road dedication on 128 Avenue, as required;
ii)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for the Geotechnical Report, which addresses the
suitability of the subject property for the proposed development;
iii)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Tree Protection;
iv)Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Stormwater Management;
1102
- 2 -
v) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Building Scheme Design for single-storey homes
with no basements;
vi) Registration of a Restrictive Covenant for Visitor Parking;
vii) Removal of existing buildings;
viii) In addition to the site profile, a disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional
Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage ta nks on the
subject property. If so, a Stage 1 Site Investigation Report is required to ensure that the
subject property is not a contaminated site; and
ix) That a voluntary contribution, in the amount of $35,700.00 ($5,100/lot) be provided in
keeping with the Council Policy with regard to Community Amenity Contributions.

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
-3 -
2)Project Description:
The subject property is approximately one acre in size and is bound by urban sized single-family lots
to the north, west and south, and a one acre single-family property to the east (see Appendices A and
B). The subject property is relatively flat with no steep slopes or watercourses. A few trees are
located on the northern, central and eastern sections of the subject property.
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential)
to R-1 (Residential District) (see Appendix C) to permit future Bare Land Strata subdivision into
approximately seven single family residential lots. The applicant is requesting that the proposed
residential units be created as a Bare Land Strata development, as consolidation with the
neighbouring properties for a larger more cohesive development, was not an option for the applicant
at this time. The applicant is also proposing that the development is geared for people over 55 years
of age.
Access to the proposed lots will be provided from 128 Avenue and a new private strata road (see
Appendix D). Single family residential zones do not require visitor parking; however, the applicant is
proposing an additional 15 visitor parking stalls to be located along the eastern property boundary.
At the Development Information Meeting (DIM), a re-occurring concern from neighbours was the
impact that this development would have on adjacent street parking. The applicant has proposed
this extra amount of parking to help alleviate the potential overflow of street parking to those
surrounding streets.
3)Planning Analysis:
i)Official Community Plan:
The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the property Urban Residential, and development of
the property is subject to the Major Corridor Residential Infill policies of the OCP. 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. The proposed rezoning to R-1 (Residential District) is in conformance with the Urban
Residential designation and Major Corridor Residential Infill policies.
ii)Zoning Bylaw:
The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-2 (One Family Suburban
Residential) to R-1 (Residential District) to permit subdivision into approximately seven single family
residential lots. The minimum lot size for the current RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone
is 0.4 ha (1 acre), and the minimum lot size for the proposed R-1 (Residential District) zone is 371
m2 (3,994 ft²).
iii)Proposed Variances:
The applicant does not require any variances as part of the subject application.
iv)Advisory Design Panel:
A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family
development, therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel.
v)Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at the Eagle Hall on October 19, 2018. Eleven 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:
-4 -
Concern that the new houses will have suites and the amount of on-street parking that will
impact adjacent streets;
Concern over the removal of trees; and
Concern over the level of servicing and the speed at which people drive on 128 Avenue.
The following are provided in response to the issues raised by the public:
The applicant has suggested that the proposed houses will be single-storey without
basements. The applicant is also proposing an additional 15 parking stalls along the eastern
property boundary (see Appendix D), above the zoning requirements ;
The applicant has provided an Arborist Report, prepared by Central Valley Arborist Consulting
Ltd., which speaks to the removal and retention of trees on site. The applicant is required to
work with City Staff, through the Tree Permit process, to determine how many replacement
trees need to be planted for those trees that are proposed to be removed; and
The applicant is responsible for any upgrades in servicing along the property frontage of 128
Avenue. Comments regarding speed along 128 Avenue have been forwarded to the
Engineering Department. As well, a suggestion to the developer is to have residents
concerned with the speed of traffic along 128 Avenue contact the RCMP.
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 no suitable land for park dedication on the subject
property, therefore, it is recommended that Council require the developer to to pay to the City an
amount that equals the market value of 5% of the land required for parkland purposes. The amount
payable to the City in lieu of park dedication must be derived by an independent appraisal at the
developer’s expense.
4)Interdepartmental Implications:
i)Engineering Department:
Road dedication along 128 Avenue, in the amount of 2 m (6.5 ft.), is required as part of Rezoning
conditions. All other deficient servicing will be required as part of the Subdivision application
process. The applicant is proposing a Bare Land Strata development; therefore, are required to
provide all on-site servicing via a private system.
ii)Building Department:
The subject property is located within the floodplain, and as such, the development must adhere to
the appropriate Flood Construction Level, as determined through an approved Geotechnical Report.
Therefore, no basements will be permitted in the future homes.
5)School District No. 42 Comments:
The proposed application would affect the student population for the catchment areas currently
served by Harry Hooge Elementary School and Maple Ridge Secondary School. The School District 42
website has the following information related to enrolment and utilization for the above mentioned
schools:
-5 -
Harry Hooge Elementary has an operating capacity of 410 students. For the 2016 school year the
student enrolment at Harry Hooge Elementary was 414 students (105% utilization).
Maple Ridge Secondary has an operating capacity of 1,300 students. For the 2016 school year the
student enrolment at Maple Ridge Secondary was 1,317 students (101% utilization).
6)Citizen/Customer Implications:
A Development Information Meeting was held on October 19, 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 for the development.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7421-2018 and that
application 2017-580-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.
It is further recommended that Council require, as a condition of subdivision approval, the developer
to pay to the City an amount that equals 5% of the market value of the land, as determined by an
independent appraisal, in lieu of parkland dedication.

SUBJECT: Second Reading
Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7509-2018
11641 227 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
An application has been received to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP), Appendix D –
Temporary Use Permits, to designate the subject property as a Temporary Commercial Use Permit
Area to allow a Sales Centre for a future apartment use. The subject property is currently zoned RS-
1 (One Family Urban Residential), and is under application, at first reading (2017-461-RZ), to rezone

Existing Use of Property: Vacant, except for a discontinued site construction office
Proposed Use of Property: Temporary Commercial Use – Sales Centre
Site Area: 1.4 ha (3.5 acres)
Access: 227th Street
Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
2)Project Description:
The subject property is located on the west side of 227th Street, north of Holyrood Avenue and south
of the gaming facility at 22710 Lougheed Highway. The site slopes gradually from 227th Street down
to the west and more steeply down to the northwest corner of the property. Dedicated park land
surrounds the property to the north and west for the protection of steep slopes, as well as a
watercourse to the north. A portion of the 15 m setback from the watercourse top of bank extends
onto the subject property. There is a four storey apartment located to the south; single family
housing and a senior’s assisted living apartment located east of the subject property.
The applicant is proposing a Sales Centre in the northeast corner of the subject property for a
proposed future apartment use (application 2017-461-RZ currently at first reading). The temporary
- 3 -
building will provide a sample apartment and display centre, which will include two offices, as well as
flooring and cabinet samples, colour boards, floor plans and marketing supplies. Hours of operation
will be from 12pm – 6pm, seven days per week, and it is estimated that six to ten visitors per day will
pass through the Sales Centre. The applicant will provide approximately 17 parking stalls, to be
located to the south of the Sales Centre. Access to the building will include a walkway, stairs, and a
ramp for persons with mobility limitations. The building will be relocated off-site once the apartment
application progresses and the need for the temporary Sales Centre ceases to exist. As per the
Local Government Act, a Temporary Use Permit is valid for up to three years, with the possibility of
another three year extension.
3) Planning Analysis:
i) Official Community Plan:
An OCP amendment is required to add the subject property into Appendix D – Temporary Use
Permits of the OCP. Appendix D of the OCP states the following:
1. Lands in the City may be designated to permit temporary uses if a condition or circumstance
exists that warrants the use for a short period of time but does not warrant a change of land use
designation or zoning of the property.
2. Council has the authority by resolution to issue Temporary Use Permits to allow temporary uses
on specific properties. Council may specify conditions for the temporary use.
3. Designated Temporary Use Permit areas will require guidelines that specify the general
conditions regarding the issuance of permits, the use of the land, and the date the use is to
terminate.
4. As a condition of issuing the permit, Council may require applicants or owners to remove
buildings, to restore the property to a specific condition when the use ends, and to post a
security bond. A permit may be issued for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed
only once.
5. Council may issue Temporary Use Permits to allow:
a) temporary commercial uses, i.e., temporary parking areas; and
b) temporary industrial uses, i.e. soil screening.
c) other temporary uses.
6. A Temporary Use Permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of Section 492 of the Local
Government Act.
7. The following section lists areas designated for Temporary Uses and describes the purpose of
the use. The described purpose and the specified general conditions for issuing a Permit for the
declared areas are described as part of the Temporary Use Permit.
The main difference between rezoning and temporary use permits is the duration of time that the
use is permitted on the property, and the removal and restoration requirements.
ii) Zoning Bylaw:
The current application does not propose to rezone the subject property’s current RS-1 (One Family
Urban Residential) zoning. Instead, the Temporary Use Permit is valid for up to three years, and may
only be extended once for another three years subject Council approval.
iii) Off-Street Parking And Loading Bylaw:
The applicant is proposing 17 parking stalls on the subject property, with a temporary access just
south of the proposed Sales Centre. The applicant anticipates six to ten visitors per day to the Sales
Centre. The amount of proposed parking for this commercial use is well above the requirement of
the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw.
- 4 -
iv) Development Permits:
A Development Permit is not required as part of this Temporary Use Permit application; however, a
Town Centre Development Permit and Natural Features Development Permit will be required as part
of the rezoning application for the proposed apartment use (2017-461-RZ).
v) Development Information Meeting:
A Development Information Meeting was held at 22610 116 Avenue (Fraserview Village Fireside
Lounge) on November 1, 2018. Twelve people attended the meeting. No comments were received
for the specific Sales Centre use; however, some comments were received for the future
development. These items will be addressed at a future report to Council for the proposed apartment
use, under application 2017-461-RZ.
4) Interdepartmental Implications:
i) Engineering Department:
The proposed Sales Centre does not require use of any City services for water, sanitary or storm
sewer. A new driveway letdown is to be installed by the applicant for the temporary use only, with
the existing access on the southern portion of the site to be used as the construction access. The
site’s ultimate single access for the future apartment use will be determined at a later stage along
with the Civil drawing submission for future development.
ii) Building Department:
A full Building Permit will be required, including exit and emergency lighting. Also, building anchorage
will need to be addressed through the permitting process.
iii) Planning Department:
A landscaping security is required to ensure that the appropriate plantings are provided in
accordance with the approved Landscape Plan.
5) 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 amend Appendix D - Temporary
Use Permits of the Official Community Plan (OCP) is proposed to allow a Temporary Use Permit on
the subject property, is considered to be minor in nature. It has been determined that no additional

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.

gives second reading to the bylaw on November 13, 2018, this application is anticipated to be on
the December 4, 2018 Public Hearing agenda.
- 5 -
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that second reading be given to OCP Amending Bylaw No. 7509-2018, and that
application 2018-332-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
23882 Dewdney Trunk Road
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit 2014-106-DVP has been received in conjunction with a Rezoning and
Subdivision applications to rezone the subject property, located at 23882 Dewdney Trunk Road,
from RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) to R-2 (Urban Residential District), to
permit the subdivision of approximately eleven single family residential lots. The requested variance
is to:
Waive the requirement to convert overhead utilities on Dewdney Trunk Road to underground
wiring where there is less than a total of 250 m (820 ft.) of contiguous redevelopment
potential fronting both sides of the highway right of way.
Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2014-106-RZ on November 13,
2018.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2014-106-DVP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2014-106-DVP respecting property located
at 23882 Dewdney Trunk Road.

Servicing requirement: Urban Standard
b) Project Description:
The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium
Density) Residential) to R-2 (Urban Residential District) to permit future subdivision into eleven single
family residential lots. Lots fronting Dewdney Trunk Road will be accessed via a rear lane, while
remaining lots will be accessed from a new local road, both of which will be extended from the recent
development to the east.
c) Variance Analysis:
The Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw establishes regulations for development. A
Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process.
The requested variance and rationale for support are described below:
1. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A – Services and
Utilities:
To waive the requirement to convert overhead utilities on Dewdney Trunk Road to
underground wiring, in accordance with Council Policy 9.05 – Conversion of Existing
Overhead Utility Wiring to Underground Wiring.
Council Policy 9.05 supports this variance as there is less than 250 m (820 ft.) of contiguous
redevelopment potential fronting both sides of Dewdney Trunk Road. There is no intention to
underground the service at this location along Dewdney Trunk Road; therefore, no securities in lieu
of undergrounding the utility lines are required.
d) Citizen / Customer Implications
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
- 3 -
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance to waive the requirement to convert overhead utilities to underground wiring
on Dewdney Trunk Road is supported, as it is in compliance with Council Policy 9.05.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2014-106-DVP.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application (2017-284-DVP) has been received for four (4) properties
in the 11300 block of 232 Street (see Appendix A and B), in conjunction with a 47 lot R-2 (Urban

variances are to:
1.Reduce rear lot line setbacks (Various lots see Appendix D); and
2.Reduce the lot width requirement for one corner lot from 13.50 metres wide to 12.23 metres
wide (Appendix E).
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2017-284-DVP be approved.

b) Project Description:
The project is a 47 lot R-2 (Urban Residential District) Zone subdivision with a 0.286 Ha. (0.7 Acre)
local park (see Appendix C).
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:
1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985 Part 6 601B R-2 Urban Residential District,
Section D, 2, b):
To reduce the rear setbacks from 8.0 metres to a range of 7.75 to 5.25 metres to as shown
in Appendix D
The purpose of this variance is to accommodate the style of dwelling being proposed by the
developer, while still maintaining at least a 6.0 metre back yard depth for all but one (1) lot. The one
lot in question (Lot 26) is irregular in shape and will still achieve adequate useable backyard space.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985 Part 6 601B R-2 Urban Residential District,
Section C, 2, a), ii:
To reduce the minimum lot width for an exterior lot (Lot 29) from 13.5 metres to 12.23 as
shown in Appendix E
The overall lot and internal road layout was dictated, in part, by the environmental and geotechnical
constraints of the site. Consequently, one corner lot (Lot 29) narrows toward its front lot line. The
bylaw requires that a lot width be no less than 13.50 metres measured a distance of 7.5 metres
- 3 -
from a front lot line. In this case, the width is 12.23 metres. Since Lot 29 widens toward the rear lot
line, the reduced width is supportable.
d) Citizen/Customer Implications:
In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, notice of Council
consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or
tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to
the permit.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed variance for rear setbacks and the width of one lot is supported to accommodate the
proposed dwellings designs for the anticipated market demand . The variance will not affect the
usability of the back yards by residents.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2017-284-DVP.

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit
10607 277 Street
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Development Variance Permit application (2018-136-DVP) has been received in conjunction with a
building permit application to construct a detached garden suite in accordance with the Zoning
Bylaw for properties that are within the Agricultural Land Reserve. The requested variances are to:
1.reduce the required asphalt width for the rural local road from 7.0 metres to 6.0
metres; and
2.increase the area of the farm home plate from a maximum of 0.2 hectares (0.5
acres) to 0.550 hectares (1.4 acres).
The required variances pertain to the Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw and to the
Zoning Bylaw. The required asphalt width for a rural local road under the Subdivision bylaw and
design criteria is 7.0m. The existing road is currently at 6.0m, and by granting the variance, this
existing situation will continue. Similarly, the rationale for granting the farm home plate variance is
due to an existing structure currently in place. The applicant proposes to replace this structure with
a 2 storey accessory residential unit with the detached garden suite above. There will be no change
to the existing residential footprint should this variance be granted.
The property has farm status, and this use is permitted under the policies of the Agricultural Land
Commission.
It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2018-421-VP be approved.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2018-421-DVP respecting property located
at 10607 277 Street.

Zone: RS-3 ( One Family Rural Residential)
Designation Agricultural
Existing Use of Property: Agricultural, Rural Residential
Proposed Use of Property: No change
Site Area: 1.75 ha (4.3 acres)
Access: 277th Street
Servicing: On site water and sewer
b) Project Description:
This application is for the construction of a detached garden suite on the subject property, which has
farm status. An existing accessory residential structure will be demolished and replaced with a 2
storey structure consisting of a workshop/garage at grade and a dwelling unit above. This proposal
is permitted for properties within the Agricultural Land Reserve with farm status. The siting of the
existing house and accessory structure are non-conforming with respect to the farm home plate
requirements in the Zoning Bylaw. For this reason, new construction within the nonconforming farm
home plate will require a variance. The existing pavement width is 6.0 metres and by granting a
variance, this situation will continue.
c) Variance Analysis:
A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. The
requested variances and rationale for support are described below:
1. Maple Ridge Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule D–
Standard Drawings and Specifications: To reduce the constructed asphalt width of a Rural
Local Road from 7.0m (22.96 ft.) to 6.0m (19.68 ft.).
The existing asphalt width of 277th Street is 6.0m (19.68 ft.) and it has been determined to be
sufficient for the Rural Street designation and uses; therefore, the proposed variance to maintain the
existing asphalt width can be supported.
2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 3510 -1985, Part 4, Section 402, 15. a):
To increase the area of the farm home plate from a maximum of 0.2 hect ares to 0.555
hectares.
The existing farm home plate is non-conforming. This proposal will introduce a detached garden
suite and workshop to replace an existing workshop. There will be no change to the existing
- 3 -
residential footprint. Both the principal dwelling and the detached garden suite are within 60 metres
of the fronting street, and therefore granting this variance will incur minimal impacts onto adjacent
agricultural parcels.
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:
1. The proposed asphalt width is existing and there would be litte benefit to increasing
asphalt width at this location.
2. The proposed 2 storey detached garden suite and workshop will be situated on the same
site as an existing structure, and will therefore not increase the existing footprint.
It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer
be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2018-421-DVP.

development permit applications. Public Hearings are scheduled to be held on the third Tuesday of
each month starting at 7:00 p.m. in Council Chambers at City Hall.
Committee of the Whole meetings are being re-introduced in this schedule. They are held to provide
an opportunity for staff and proponents of planning applications to give presentations and detailed
information to Council on items scheduled to be moved forward to a Council meeting. Committee of
the Whole meetings are scheduled to be held on the first and third Tuesday of each month starting

important issues facing our City. This report attaches the proposed City of Maple Ridge Council Code
of Conduct that defines the conduct that will be expected of us. I seek your endorsement of this
Code, and further recommend that we do an annual check-in to ensure we maintain a safe and

RECOMMENDATION:
That the City of Maple Ridge Council Code of Conduct dated November 2018 be endorsed ; and

CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE
COUNCIL CODE OF CONDUCT
The City of Maple Ridge Council Code of Conduct details the shared expectations for responsible
conduct as determined by the City of Maple Ridge Council for the 2018-2022 municipal term.
Responsible conduct is grounded in conducting oneself with honesty, integrity, and in a way that
furthers the City’s ability to provide good governance to the community. Outcomes of responsible
conduct include transparency, accountability, effective and efficient decision-making, and a safe and
welcoming environment for everyone.
It is each Council member’s individual responsibility to uphold both the letter and the spirit of this
Code of Conduct in their dealings with other members, staff, and the public.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR WORKING WITH EACH OTHER
As elected representatives of the City of Maple Ridge, we have a responsibility to listen, to consider,
and to communicate respectfully with each other, staff, and members of the public to make
decisions that shape our community. By working together with professionalism, respect, and open
minds, we can be successful in our role as community leaders, regardless of differences of opinion.
To this end, we commit to:
Demonstrating respect through:
o Fostering a safe and welcoming space for debate and decision-making;
o Professional and respectful verbal and body language;
o Seeking to understand, and asking questions rather than making assumptions;
o Arriving prepared for Council meetings and specific agenda items;
o Approaching issues with an open mind to consider new information;
o Directing critique at the issue, and not the individual that raises it;
o Providing direct, honest and timely feedback to questions and concerns; and
o Being sensitive to others’ emotions when they are feeling very passionate about an
issue.
Ensuring commentary at Council meetings remains focused on the issues, avoiding
repetition.
Chairing meetings in a consistent manner that keeps the meeting on task, respects
everyone’s time, and ensures each member of Council has an equal opportunity to be heard.
Doc # 2069342 November 2018 2
Making a collective effort to ensure a united voice for Council by:
o Respecting the collective decision of Council when representing Council in other
public forums and in intergovernmental relations;
o Working together for effective governance; and
o Holding each other accountable for our conduct.
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT FOR INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC
As elected officials, our role is to listen to a wide variety of community stakeholders, deliberate as a
Council, and make decisions on behalf of the City of Maple Ridge in a manner that is professional,
inclusive, and maintains public confidence. Ensuring a fair, consistent, and professional process at
Council meetings will support a welcoming environment in which all members of the community feel
safe to share their views with Council.
To this end, we commit to:
Maintaining a safe, professional and welcoming tone at the Council table through:
o Respectful verbal and body language, making few interjections;
o Seeking to understand, and asking questions in an inquiring tone;
o Directing critique at the issue, and not the individual that raises it, understanding
that speakers may be representing the view of their organization, not their own;
o Avoiding repetition or re-stating what was just said;
o Acknowledging how speakers are feeling, and recognizing the vulnerability that
speakers may feel when presenting their issues to Council; and
o Giving acknowledgement and thanks to members of the public for their contribution
to the meeting.
Fostering public confidence by:
o Leading by example through respectful and professional conduct and an open mind;
o Explaining meeting guidelines as appropriate;
o Ensuring all members of the public are treated in the same manner and in
accordance with this Code of Conduct;
o Ensuring that the public feels heard by avoiding inflammatory comments;
o Ensuring that Council is heard by those present and watching online by speaking
clearly and at a moderate volume;
o Diffusing elevated situations to promote a safe and respectful environment; and
o Keeping the meeting on task, listening to all opinions and summarizing what was
heard around the table when acting as Chair.
These commitments will be supported by City staff who will:
Ensure high quality presentations are brought to the Council table;
Ask members of the public to sign up to speak before the meeting starts; and
Set speakers up for success by providing them with an orientation to the technology, the
Council forum and time limits.
