"""· ;"S'.~~ -~-MAPLE RIDGE British Columbia ·····-····---·········-····------· mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: FILE NO: February 4, 2020 2019-258-AL cow FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: SUBJECT: Application for Subdivision in the ALR 20625 Powell Avenue EXECUTIVE SUM MARY: This application for subdivision within the Agricultural Land Reserve concerns a 0.89 hectare (2.2 acres) property, located at 20625 Powell Avenue. The property is zoned RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential), which has a minimum parcel size of 0.8 hectares (2 acres). The subject property is currently close to the minimum parcel size and, under normal circumstances, would not be able to subdivide further. However, there are two enabling provisions that, when combined, can support a legally non-conforming lot to be created within the Agricultural Land Reserve. One of these provisions is the Agricultural Land Commission's Policy L-11 for Homesite Severance, which can support subdivision if the property was purchased prior to the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve (December 31, 1972). The second provision, is Section 514 of the Local Government Act, which provides the legal framework to create non-conforming lots. There have been a few applications for Homesite Severance in the City of Maple Ridge. As these applications represent a unique set of circumstances recognized by the Agricultural Land Commission, previous applications have been supported by staff and were authorized by Council to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission. This application meets the conditions of Section 514 of the Local Government Act. However, the property was purchased after the creation of the Agricultural Land Reserve and therefore does not meet the Agricultural Land Commission's requirements for Homesite Severance. On this basis, this application is considered similarly to other applications for subdivision within the Agricultural Land Reserve, which are not supported by the policies of the Official Community Plan. For this reason, the recommendation is to deny forwarding this application to the Agricultural Land Commission. RECOMMENDATION: That Application 2019-258-AL, respecting p'roperty located at 20625 Powell Avenue, not be authorized to proceed to the Agricultural Land Commission. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: 2019-258-AL P.

This application is utilizing a provision within the Local Government Act to create two lots that are each less than the minimum parcel size prescribed by the zoning (see Appendix C). The applicant is seeking to subdivide the property in order to build a smaller house on one of the proposed parcels. Section 514 of the Local Government Act allows the creation of parcels and remaining lots of less than minimum parcel size. Legal Counsel for Maple Ridge confirms with case law examples that neither the newly created lot nor the remainder need to comply with minimum parcel size. The provision to create an undersized lot has been utilized in previous Homesite Severance applications within the ALR in Maple Ridge. These provisions are recognized in the ALR for property owners who purchased the property prior to the creation of the ALR (December 31, 1972). In this case, the property owner purchased the property after the creation of the ALR, and therefore does not qualify under Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) policy for Homesite Severance provisions. For this reason, this application will be evaluated as a standard subdivision application in the ALR. Typically, these applications are not supported, based on the policies of the Official Community Plan (OCP). 2019-258-AL Page 2 of 6 c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: On November 14, 2006, Council adopted the OCP, which contains supportive agricultural policies. On December 16, 2009, Council adopted an Agricultural Plan to support agriculture within the rural area and the ALR. The merits of this application will be viewed within this policy context, as summarized below. OCP Section 6.2.2 Sustainable Agriculture Policy 6-12 states: Maple Ridge will protect the productivity of its agricultural land by: a) adopting a guiding principle of "positive benefit to agriculture" when making land use decisions that could affect the agricultural land base, with favourable recognition of initiatives including but not limited to supportive non-farm uses, infrastructure improvements for farmland, or the inclusion of land elsewhere in the Agricultural Land Reserve; b) requiring agricultural impact assessments (A/As) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability; c) preserving larger farm units and areas by using appropriate buffers such as roads, topographic features, watercourses, ditching, fencing, or gradually reduced residential densities on properties adjacent to agricultural land; d) discouraging the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, except where positive benefits to agriculture can be demonstrated; e) reinforcing the concept that the Agricultural Land Reserve is intended for agricultural use by increasing the minimum lot size for ALR properties that are zoned Rural Residential; f) encouraging the amalgamation of smaller parcels of farmland into larger, more cohesive parcels. Policy 6-12 discourages the subdivision of agricultural land into smaller parcels, supports increasing the minimum parcel size of ALR properties with Rural Residential zoning, and encourages land assembly to create larger farm parcels. The reason for discouraging subdivision within the ALR is that subdivision tends to increase speculative activity within the ALR, thereby increasing the market value of farmland, and exacerbating the issue of economic barriers to entry for new farmers. OCP Section 6.2.1 Economic Development Strategy Policy 6-6 of the Official Community Plan describes options for increasing alternative tenures in greater detail: Maple Ridge will develop an Agricultural Plan that: a) maintains an inventory of local agricultural products and agricultural land use; b) develops and maintains a database of farm businesses and operators; c) promotes leasing opportunities of agricultural land; d) promotes agricultural heritage initiatives; e) identifies appropriate land uses within agricultural areas and at the rura/jurban interface; f) promotes urban agriculture; g) recognizes the positive role that agricultural lands have on the environment; h) will identify a variety of mechanisms to assist farm operators and to protect agricultural lands, including but not limited to the creation of trusts, endowments, and life-leases; 2019-258-AL Page 3 of 6 i) includes an assessment of the agricultural land base; and j) develops Development Permit area guidelines to direct non-agricultural development at the urban/rural interface. One reason for promoting alternative tenures (Policies 6-6 c) and h)) relates to the high cost of land, which is a known barrier for new farmers wishing to start an agricultural business. By supporting other forms of tenure that can delay or avoid the need for this capital investment by individual farmers, the City can improve its agricultural potential, and bring more of its agricultural land into production. For the above noted reasons, this application does not comply with the Agricultural policies of the OCP. Agricultural Plan: Issue 5 of the Agricultural Plan notes concerns with the loss of the agricultural land base, describing the following situations that are pertinent to this application: • Many small parcels • High level of rural residential incursion into Agricultural Land Reserve • Non-farmed areas of the Agricultural Land Reserve tend to be smaller parcels • Continued conversion pressure from the District of Maple Ridge's urban growth • Financial pressure on farming The Agricultural Plan also notes that more recent priorities given to food safety, food security, and climate change, includes the development of a local food system. Towards this end, the community would benefit from greater certainty that the agricultural land base is not undermined by incremental land use decisions. The Agricultural Plan makes the following recommendations that pertain to this application: b) Continue to implement the OCP policies to protect the agricultural land base by creating guidelines for reviewing applications for non-farm use, exclusions, fill applications, transportation and utility applications, subdivisions, and government applications; ... g) Explore retention of lots 2 ha (5 acres) and larger in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Currently, the minimum parcel size in the RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone is 0.8 ha (2.0 acres), where community water is available. This zone pertains to most of the land that is within the ALR, including the subject property. The RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone pre-dates the creation of the ALR. Although designated for Agriculture, there is a concern that this historic zoning contributes to the perception that farming is not the primary use of this zone. The Agricultural Plan recommends that 2.0 ha (5 acres) is a more appropriate minimum parcel size for lands within the ALR. As noted, this application is utilizing a legal mechanism to create lots of less than the minimum parcel size prescribed by zoning. The agricultural impacts of further parcelization of an already small parcel should be considered. Legal Counsel confirms that Council has the discretion to evaluate this application on policy consideration and make their decision accordingly. 2019-258-AL Page 4 of 6 ----------r d) Interdepartmental and lnteragency Implications: Engineering Department The Engineering Department would review this proposal for its servicing requirements as part of the Subdivision application, should ALC approval be granted. It should also be noted that the subject property has one sewer connection that was made· in 1995. By current standards, a second application for sewer connection in support of a subdivision would be contrary to Metro Vancouver's policy framework and therefore might not be supported. Proof of septic capacity to current City standards would then be required. Ministry of Agriculture Research provided by the Ministry of Agriculture in their most recent inventory work validates concerns raised in the Agricultural Plan about small lot sizes1. Conclusions drawn from this region-wide information have been summarized by Metro Vancouver, as follows: Evidence exists that small parcels are less likely to be farmed and therefore further subdivision of parcels in the ALR is not warranted and will only encourage more non-farm use of ALR land. Currently 75% of the parcels less than 2 ha (5 acres) are not farmed. The average size of parcels not used for farming is 3 ha (7.4 acres), while the average size of parcels used for farming is 7 ha (17 acres).2 a: ..J <( Q) £ -~ Cl) al ~ co c.. .... 0 ....

The combination of parcel size and site constraints reduce the farmable area. It should be noted, however, that the property may be attractive for smaller scale agriculture, with direct sales to consumer in order to maximize gross farm receipts. Such a farm operation could still contribute to local food security. The current parcel size is over 0.8 ha (2 acres) and could feasibly attain farm status. If subdivided further, the smaller parcels will be Jess likely to be used for farming. e) Alternatives: The recommendation is not to forward this application to the ALC, based on the above policies. With this option, the application will be considered denied and will not proceed further. A portion of the application fee will be refunded to the applicant. Council may choose to forward the application to the ALC. With this alternative option, the ALC will evaluate the merits of this application and make their decision accordingly. Should this application be approved by the ALC, a Subdivision application will be required. CONCLUSION: This application has been evaluated for its consistency with the policies of the OCP, and its implications for the Agricultural Plan. The application does not comply with this policy framework. On this basis, the recommendation is that this application for subdivision within the ALR not be supported.

A review of OCP Policy 3-19, directed by Council in April 2017, concluded that infill housing options could be expanded through the creation of a new residential infill zone. Such a zone is to permit a smaller minimum lot area and width than the existing RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, but is larger than the current R-1 (Residential District) zone, and has a building height and setbacks that reflect those currently found in established neighbourhoods. As a result of the infill policy review conducted by staff earlier, staff introduced the new R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential) zone to Council at the November 20, 2018 Workshop. The zone amending bylaw received first and second reading at the November 27, 2018 Council meeting as part of application 2016-411-RZ. The new zone will continue to advance with the application that proceeds first. If approved, one of the two single family lots is subject to a $5,100 charge as part of the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program Policy 6.31 as updated December 12, 2017. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7613-2020 be given first reading; and 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule B & E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application.

(0.28 acres) 223 Street Urban Standard The subject property, located at 12471 223 Street, is approximately 1130 m2 in area, and is generally flat, with some shrubs and hedges located along the perimeter (see Appendices A and B). The subject property is situated just north of the Town Centre Area, and is bounded by single family residential properties on all sides, with 223 Street fronting the east property line. There are no other development applications in process in the neighbourhood. c) Project Description: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential), to permit future subdivision into two residential lots of approximately 530 m2 each. The proposed zone has not been adopted yet, however, it was brought forward with another development application. So far, the amending bylaw received first and second reading at the November 27, 2018 Council meeting, as part of application 2016-411-RZ. As timelines for application 2016-411-RZ are unclear at this point in time, the bylaws for the new zone will continue to advance with the application that proceeds further first. At this time, the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and further reports will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. Page 2 of 4 ' r I I d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is currently designated Urban Residential. The Zoning Matrix identifies both a neighbourhood residential infill category, and a major corridor residential category. The subject property is considered Neighbourhood Residential Infill, which designation allows for single detached dwellings and other housing forms, subject to the Neighbourhood Residential Infill Policies. Specifically, Policy 3-19 provides for subdivision in established neighbourhoods providing that the lot area and width is not less than 80% of the lot area and width prescribed under the predominate zone in the neighbourhood. The application to rezone the property to the new R4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential) zone, is compliant with the OCP infill policies and is, therefore, supportable. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 124 71 223 Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to the newly proposed R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential zone, to permit future subdivision into two residential lots of approximately 530 m2. The new R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential) zone will be equivalent to 80% of the RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Residential) zone, with a minimum lot area of 450m2 and a minimum lot width of 12 m, consistent with the existing transition between the RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) and RS-1b (One Family (Medium Density) Residential) zones. As well, the new zone would address some of the typical concerns raised by neighbours in proximity to an infill development. As new construction can often maximize the allowable height permitted under the zoning requirements, the new infill zone would have a lower height maximum of 9.5 m compared to the typical 11 m to ensure better compatibility with existing (and often smaller) developments. A maximum height of 9.5 m would still permit a two storey home to be constructed. Additionally, front yard and side yard setbacks would be enlarged to reflect RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone requirements, so that the siting of the homes is more consistent with existing homes. The minimum lot size for the current RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone is 668m2, and the minimum lot size for the newly proposed R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential) zone is 450m2. The subject application is proposing two residential lots, of each 530 m2 in area, but proposes 11.58 metres width per lot. Therefore, a Development Variance Permit application to reduce the required width from 12.0 metres to 11.58 metres is required. Advisory Design Panel: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project, therefore this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application, as there are fewer than five dwelling units being proposed. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) School District; and f) Canada Post. Page 3 of 4 ,_ ' ,. , __ r I r ! I i 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 and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); and 3. A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the OCP, and it is recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the Approving Officer.

To proceed further with this application, additional information is required as outlined below. This application is not subject to the Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) Program, Policy 6.31, as no residential dwelling units are proposed at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7609-2019 be given first reading; and 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules C, D and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999. DISCUSSION: a} Background Context: Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: Site Lines Architecture Lot 803 District Lot 278 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 25311 Commercial Commercial RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) C-2 (Community Commercial) North: Use: Retail Zone: C-2 (Community Commercial) and CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial 2019-427-RZ Page 1 of 5 1103 South: Use: Multi-Family (Townhouse) Zone: RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential District) Designation: Medium Density Multi-Family and Low Density Multi-Family East: Use: Retail Zone: C-2 (Community Commercial) Designation: Commercial West: Use: Retail {Tire Shop) Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Vacant (Gravel Parking Lot) Commercial and Office 0.20 ha (0.50 acres) Lougheed Highway Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject property, located at 20638 Lougheed Highway, is approximately 0.2 ha (0.5 acres) in area and is vacant; however, it is currently being used as overflow parking for the adjacent uses (see Appendices A and B). c) Project Description: The application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community Commercial) (see Appendix C) to permit the construction of a two-storey commercial building, with retail ground floor and office use above. The subject property is proposed to be consolidated with the adjacent property to the east, at 20690 Lougheed Highway, as it is under the same ownership for both properties. The owner's intention is to relocate the existing liquor store at 20690 (adjacent property) into the proposed new building at the subject property. The owner is also currently working with the Provincial Government to establish a cannabis retail store to be located in the existing liquor store location, at 20690 Lougheed Highway. The proposed building will consist of approximately 560 m2 (6,028 ft2) of ground floor commercial space, to be used as the liquor store, and approximately 307 m2 (3,305 ft2) of office space above on the second floor. The design of the new building will match the existing design on the adjacent property, in terms of roof shape and finishes, in order to strengthen the cohesion of both buildings to one another. The subject property will utilize the existing accesses currently provided by the adjacent property from Lougheed Highway and 207 Street. The subject property is also proposing a right turn out only, onto Lougheed Highway, which will only permit delivery truck service (see Appendices D -F). The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTi) has jurisdiction for access and parking requirements, in addition to the City; therefore, the applicant will need to coordinate with MOTi early in the development process to determine feasibility of the proposed egress onto Lougheed Highway. 2019-427-RZ Page 2 of 5 At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and further reports will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject property is currently designated General Commercial in the OCP. It is noted that the subject property falls within the Lougheed Transit Corridor Study area. The Lougheed Transit Corridor Study was initiated in September 2018 to review the OCP designations along the Lougheed Highway and surrounding area west of the Town Centre. The timing of this review coincides with the new rapid bus service between downtown Maple Ridge and the Evergreen skytrain line in Coquitlam along the Lougheed Highway. The Lougheed Transit Corridor Study has also been undertaken in the context of the City's Commercial and Industrial Strategy recommendations to accommodate additional employment opportunities in West Maple Ridge by 2042, and to better utilize commercial land for long-term commercial demand. The subject property is currently designated Commercial in the OCP, and the proposed rezoning to C-2 (Community Commercial) aligns with this current designation. However, through the draft Lougheed Transit Corridor Concept Plan, which was presented at the December 3, 2019, Council Workshop, the subject property has been identified for the proposed Commercial Mixed-Use land use. This proposed Commercial Mixed-Use designation would support an increase in density at the subject property, and suggests a minimum three-storey height requirement (current application proposes two storeys). Council had indicated, through discussion at the December 3, 2019, Council Workshop, that more density along the Lougheed Corridor would be appropriate, and directed staff to further explore this within the draft Concept Plan. It is anticipated that the draft Lougheed Transit Corridor Concept Plan will be brought back to Council Workshop in May 2020 for Council consideration of endorsement. Zoning Bylaw: The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to C-2 (Community Commercial) to permit future construction of a two-storey commercial building with approximately 560 m2 (6,028 ft2) of ground floor commercial space and 307 m2 (3,305 ft2) of office space above. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zone will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the OCP, a Commercial Development Permit application is required to address the current proposal's compatibility with adjacent development, and to enhance the unique character of the community. 2019-427-RZ Page 3 of 5 Advisory Design Panel: A Commercial Development Permit is required and must be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. e) Interdepartmental Implications: In order to advance the current application, after first reading, comments and input, will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) Utility companies; f) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and g) Canada Post. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and/or departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing and site access requirements have not been undertaken. We anticipate that this evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999 as amended: 1. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); 2. A Commercial Area Development Permit Application (Schedule D); and 3. A Development Variance Permit Application (Schedule E). The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. 2019-427-RZ Page 4 of 5 ' I r I -I i I CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the current Commercial OCP designation; however, as part of the Lougheed Transit Corridor Study, the land use designation is intended to change to Mixed-Use Commercial. It is anticipated that the draft Lougheed Transit Corridor Concept Plan will be brought back to Council Workshop in May 2020 for consideration of endorsement. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading.

That report recommended that the non-medical cannabis retail store at the above address not be supported because the site is not in compliance with the 1,000 metre separation distance requirement in Zoning Bylaw General Regulations Section 401 (3) (h). This provision of the Zoning Bylaw prohibits cannabis retail stores where the dis.tance is less than 1,000 metres apart from another such store measured lot to lot. The Spiritleaf cannabis retail store is located at the Valley Fair Mall. The distance between the lot containing the existing Spiritleaf cannabis retail stores and the lot for the proposed Green Star cannabis retail store is 860.4 metres (Appendix D). Council directed the applicant of Green Star Cannabis to apply for a site specific text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw, to reduce the distance from 1,000 metres before making a decision on the licencing matter described in the Bylaw & Licencing Section report dated October 22, 2019. That reduced distance when rounded is 860 metres. RECOMMENDATION: That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7615-2020 be given first and second reading; and forwarded to Public Hearing. DISCUSSION: On October 22, 2019, Council considered a report from Bylaw & Licensing Services about an application to establish a Cannabis Retail Use by 1171712 BC Ltd. (Green Star Cannabis) at 22222 Lougheed Highway (Haney Motor Hotel) as shown in Appendix A & B. Council deferred a decision on this report pending an application to reduce the separation distance requirement in the General Regulation Section 401 (3) (h) of the Zoning Bylaw to be in compliance on then proposed lot. The owners of the Haney Motor Hotel have formally applied for the separation requirement to be changed. Currently, there are two separation distance criteria, as follows: • a minimum separation between Cannabis Retail Uses (1,000 metre separation); and • a minimum separation distance between a Cannabis Retail Uses and an elementary or secondary school (200 metre separation). Page 1 of 2 1104 The distance between the lots containing the existing Spiritleaf cannabis retail store and the proposed Green Star cannabis retail store is 860.4 metres (Appendix D). Therefore, an application has been received for a site specific text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to reduce the separation distance from 1,000 metres to the rounded distance of 860 metres. Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw (Appendix C) reflects this site specific text amendment. The school separation distance is not proposed to change. The separation distance between lots with elementary or secondary schools to lots with a cannabis retail store remains the same (200 metre separation). Following a review with other Departments, it was determined that this application does not trigger any terms and conditions to be addressed prior to final reading. Therefore, the site specific text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw may be given first and second reading by Council and then be advance to Public Hearing. Following adoption of this site specific text amendment to the Zoning Bylaw, Bylaw & Licensing Services can report back on the licencing application for Green Star cannabis retail store at the Haney Motor Hotel. CONCLUSION: This Zoning Bylaw amending application is a site specific text amendment. It will reduce the separation distance from 1,000 meters to 860 metres specifically for the proposed Green Star cannabis retail store at the Haney Motor Hotel. With this change, the store will comply with the separation requirement, being separated by a distance of 860.4 metres from Spiritleaf, the next closest cannabis retail store located at Valley Fair Mall. It is recommended that Council grant first and second reading to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7615-2020 and advance this application to Public Hearing.

RMSS continues to do an excellent job of managing the Seniors Activity Centre as well as providing leisure programs and services in Maple Ridge. RMSS and CMR have agreed in principle to renew their Operating Agreement (attached Schedule A) and Lease Agreement to operate at the Seniors Activity Centre (attached Schedule B) commencing April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2023. RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the Operating Agreement between the City of Maple Ridge and the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society be approved for a three year term; and 2. That the Lease Agreement between the City of Maple Ridge and the Ridge Meadows Seniors Society be approved for a three year term; and further 3. That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Agreements. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: RMSS and CMR have had a longstanding partnership agreement spanning over 25 years. RMSS leadership has once again done an excellent job in adhering to the terms agreed upon and since the activation of our latest agreement in 2017, RMSS has been successful in increasing and improving on recreational, social and health programs for seniors by expanding from 42 programs to 55. Some examples of new programming include; Food Bank for Seniors, lceless Curling, Chair Tai Chi and Caregiver Connection. They have also been successful in increasing their membership base from 1,200 to 1,550. RMSS has also continued to increase and solidify relationships with likeminded organizations, build capacity within their Board of Directors/staff and have met their financial responsibilities. 2389836 Page 1of 3 1151 -------~ ---= Consistent with the previous agreement, staff are recommending a 2% annual increase to provide for inflationary increases in annual costs which is included in the funding allotment in the approved financial plan for 2020-2023. As we move forward, the City's agreement with RMSS will become more vital for our senior community as it is estimated that within the next ten years this demographic will increase by 8.500 people. b) Desired Outcome: To continue to support RMSS in the independent delivery of leisure services for seniors. c) Strategic Alignment: Support of RMSS contributions to the senior community aligns with Council's strategic priority of Community Pride & Spirit and with The Age Friendly Community Initiative. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The proposed changes will ensure that RMSS can continue to provide leisure programs and services without concern of inflationary budget pressures. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The annual 2% increment is included in the 2020-2023 approved financial plan. There are no further financial implications related to the Operating Agreement between the City and RMSS. CONCLUSION: The renewed Operating and Lease Agreements will allow The City's continued partnership with RMSS to flourish and focus on quality social and recreational programming for our increasing seniors' demographic. 2389836 Page 2 of 3 . ·----~..,--=------Prepared by: Tony Cotroneo Recreation Manager, Community Engagement ...........

These festivals encourage community spirit, celebration of place, citizen engagement and volunteerism while providing opportunities for social, economic and cultural development. Grant funding supports festivals of different sizes, from small grassroots events to medium and large scale events that attract thousands of participants. The funding provided typically supports public safety, such as road closures and safety related equipment rentals. Eligible organizations may apply for funding through two annual funding intake processes. The Festival Grant Program's approved annual budget is $94,400. Recommendations for funding and/or in-kind support allocations in 2020's first intake, totaling $78,620, are based on the program's criteria and outlined in the Festivals Grant Program Summary Chart-Intake One 2020 (Attachment A). RECOMMENDATION: That the recommended Festival Grant Program -Intake One 2020 allocations, totaling $78,620, for events taking place between May 1 and October 31, 2020 be approved. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The Festival Grant Program supports both recurring and new festivals that demonstrate positive community impact and sustainability. On January 21, 2020, the Festival Grant Committee, comprised of representatives from Parks, Recreation & Culture (PRC), Economic Development and Finance, reviewed and evaluated applications with reference to the programs criteria outlined in the Festival Support Policy ("the Policy"). This included financial documentation to demonstrate their need and justification for financial support. 2384927 Page 1 of 4 1152 'r""-=------------------The Committee also considered each application's alignment with Tourism, Economic Development and PRC's planning goals. Applicants who receive funding meet the criteria set within Policy 4.22: Festival Support including non-profits and/or charitable organizations who host community events or have a regional mandate that includes the delivery of services and programs in Maple Ridge. The City also produces civic signature festivals with partners through the Grant Program. The Committee recommends a total of $78,620 be allocated for festivals taking place between May 1 and October 31, 2020 as follows: • $18,500 for 9 community festivals organized by independent organizations that include small, medium and large size festivals. Some highlights include: An increase of $500 each to Multiculturalism Day (Family Education Services Society) and Pride in the Park (PLEA Community Services) that are growing in popularity and supports inclusion and multiculturalism identified in the Culture Plan (2018). An increase of $1,000 for Remembrance Day (Legion 88) to support additional public safety and full road closure on 224 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road during the ceremony. The Engineering Department supports this approach for additional professional Traffic Control Persons for this very well attended national event. Others maintained funding at the same level to assist with keeping festivals free or low cost to residents and visitors and meeting some of the rising production and public safety expenses. • $52,620 towards 4 signature civic events and partnerships: Canada Day, Celebrate the Night & Fireworks, Remembrance Day and National Indigenous Peoples Day. Additional grants and sponsors are also secured for these events by the organising committees. The growth of these special events will contribute towards furthering Maple Ridge's position as a year-round destination that is rich with cultural experiences and diverse activities for families and people of all ages, while building positive community spirit and increased community engagement. • $7,500 towards the events organized by the Agricultural Association and Haney Farmers Market Society as per the current operating agreements, specifically $6,000 to the Agricultural Association for the Annual Country Fest Fair and $1,500 to the Haney Farmers Market Society. Based on previous year's grant requests and practices, the Committee recommends a balance of $15,780 be held back for the program's second intake for festivals between November 1, 2020 and April 30, 2021 and to support grassroots and/or new festivals. Staff will continue to review applications for any grassroots or new festivals throughout the year and allocate funding on an ongoing basis of up to $500 per event per the Festival Support Policy. Festivals continue to grow and develop in popularity and complexity while costs for insurance, traffic management, safety requirements and public health continue to increase. Groups are creative and innovative in their efforts to continue implementing quality festivals and events and may need additional support in the future to address increasing safety requirements. On average, the grant amounts provided to event organizers contribute to a small portion of overall festival production costs as organizers are required to provide confirmation of a sustainable 2384927 Page 2 of 4 ~ _----------funding model. The City's financial and in-kind support assists organizers to leverage sponsorships and funding from other levels of government. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is that the Festival Grant Program continues to contribute towards a healthy, engaged, creative and inclusive community and raises community spirit and the profile of Maple Ridge. c) Strategic Alignment: Supporting and enhancing the quality, scope and diversity of festivals through the Festival Grant Program contributes to Council's Strategic Priorities; Community Spirit and Pride and Community Safety. In addition, festivals contribute towards showcasing Maple Ridge as a destination and community with rich arts and culture opportunities, which fits within the Parks, Recreation and Culture Master Plan (2010), Culture Plan (2018), Tourism Strategy (2018) and other key planning documents. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Festival Grant Program assists community groups and partners to implement positive arts and cultural festivals and special events. This will encourage strong citizen engagement and the development of a safe and vibrant community for all ages and abilities. In 2019, there were over 80 events with a total attendance of over 180,500 and volunteer contributions in excess of 25,000 hours. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The recommended level of festival grant funding falls within the approved Parks, Recreation & Culture operating budget. CONCLUSION: Maple Ridge's Festival Grant Program helps to nurture free or low cost outdoor festivals that make our community vibrant, engaged, prosperous and inclusive and celebrates community spirit and pride. 2384927 Page 3 of 4 Prepared by: Reviewed by: ~ Director of Recreation & Community Engagement Approved by:~ Boag General Manager arks, Recrea ion & Culture Concurrenc9:gorsm~ Chief Administrative Officer Attachments: (A) Festival Grant Program Summary Chart -Intake One 2020 (B) Festival Support Policy 2384927 Page 4 of 4 Festivals Grant Program Summary Chart -Intake One 2020 Festival Name/Organization 1st INTAKE FUNDING Large Festivals Caribbean Festival/ Caribbean Festival Society Mid-Sized Festivals Bard on the Bandstand/ Emerald Pig Theatrical Society Children's Festival/ Family Fest GETI Fest Rivers Day/ Alouette River Management Society Small Festivals Ad stock / Ad stock Ma pie Ridge Society Multiculturalism Day/ Family Education & Support Center Pride in the Park/ PLEA Community Services Art Yeah! & Thursday Night Music in the Park/ Variete D'Arts Society Subtotal (Festival Applications) Festivals Under Agreement Term Contract Country Fest -MRPM Agricultural Association Haney Farmers Market -HFM Society Subtotal (Agreements Term Contracts) Civic Events and Partnerships Canada Day Remembrance Day/ Legion 88 Celebrate the Night National Indigenous Peoples Day/ Fraser River Indigenous Society 1~uotota11~1v1c tvents ana l'artnersnipsJ !GRAND TOTAL 1st Intake Recommendation PROPOSED GRANT ALLOCATIONS Total Recommended for 1st intake 2020 Total Recommended for 2nd intake 2020 BUDGET NOTE: 2020 PRC approved budget for festivals grant is $94,400.

With this in mind, SPAC, in partnership with the Fraser Health's Healthy Communities Initiative, seeks Council's approval to submit the attached 2020 Poverty Reduction Planning & Action grant application to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM). If awarded, the grant will fund the 'Community Food Security Assessment and Prioritization' project (detailed in this report) to engage the community in identifying unmet needs or gaps in services and to establish a community based food security plan using a poverty reduction lens. RECOMMENDATION: That staff be authorized to submit an application to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities 2020 Poverty Reduction Planning & Action program for a grant up to $25,000 towards the 'Community Food Security Assessment and Prioritization' project. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: At the January 2020 SPAC meeting, staff presented a draft grant proposal for a UBCM Poverty Reduction Planning & Action grant with a focus on a community based food security plan. SPAC endorsed the attached application and seeks Council endorsement to submit the application to the UBCM. According to the My Health My Community survey conducted between June 2013 and July 2014, 12.3% of Maple Ridge residents reported food insecurity (inadequate or insecure access to food due to financial constraints) compared to 6.3% in municipalities across the Fraser Health region. Low income and poverty are two predictors that are strongly linked to food insecurity. The primary response to food insecurity in BC has been at the local level through food banks and community food-based initiatives, such as, community gardens. These efforts can support important goals, such as, emergency food relief, improved food literacy, social connectedness 2368454 Page 1 of 3 1153 1-: and a more sustainable food system. However, research shows that household food insecurity cannot be solved through food-based initiatives or charitable efforts alone. Food insecurity is rooted in poverty and financial constraints, indicating that social policies are needed in order to address the root causes. Vancouver, New Westminster and Kamloops are some examples of cities that have Food Security plans. If successful in obtaining this grant, a coordinator will be recruited to conduct a community food security assessment through consultation with people living in poverty or with lived experience of poverty, as well as community based food program providers, First Nation Elders, Indigenous organizations, municipal representatives, healthcare professionals and other local networks. Engagement through focus group discussions, community consultation events and an online survey will be undertaken. The grant will also allow a community based food security assessment to be completed by examining food security related indicators and food program inventories to determine the current situation in Maple Ridge. A community planning process will also be undertaken that will identify opportunities for action, highlight the challenges which will determine the most impactful way to use local resources in addressing the needs of our community. The research conducted, through a poverty reduction lens, will increase awareness about the issues affecting food insecurity among residents, which in turn, will inform the development of a community food security plan. The coordinated efforts will aim to reduce food insecurity in Maple Ridge. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is to form a Food Security Action Plan to address food insecurity at a local level in Maple Ridge. c) Strategic Alignment: The plan aligns with SPAC's work plan and Council's strategic priority of Community Safety. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The overall health and wellness of the community will increase when vulnerable populations have access to healthy food. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: With Council's endorsement, the attached application will be submitted to the Poverty Reduction Planning & Action Program under Stream 1, which offers a maximum grant of $25,000. If our application is successful, the City will contribute an additional $2,800 in-kind contribution (meeting spaces, marketing and overall project support). f) Policy Implications: The grant funding will be used toward the development and implementation of a Food Security Action Plan that addresses food insecurity in Maple Ridge. Recommendations regarding unmet needs and gaps in services may inform future policies. CONCLUSION: The 'Community Food Security Assessment and Prioritization' project will support citizens' access to healthy food, which in turn leads to a positive impact on physical and mental health and a decrease in healthcare costs. 2368454 Page 2 of 3 Prepared by: Tony Cotroneo Recreation Manager, Community Engagement Reviewedb~ Director, Recreation, Culture & Community Engagement Approved by-:' David Boag General Mana(er, Parks, Recrea ·on & Culture ru~ Concurrence: Al Horsman Chief Administrative Officer Attachments: (A) 2020 UBCM Poverty Reduction Planning & Action Grant Application (B) 2020 UBCM Poverty Reduction Planning & Action Grant Budget 2368454 Page3 of 3 Poverty Reduction Planning & Action 2020 Application Form for Stream 1-Plans & Assessments Please complete and return the application form and all required attachments by February 28, 2020.

Please share any other information you think may help support your submission. Background information: According to the My Health My Community survey, conducted between June 2013 and July 2014, a higher proportion of Maple Ridge residents reported food insecurity (12.3%) compared to other Fraser Health municipalities (6.3%) (1 ). Food insecurity is closely linked with poverty and low income is the strongest predictor (2). Research shows that the lower the household income, the higher the rate of household food insecurity (3,4). Those most vulnerable to food insecurity in BC are lone parent households 2020 Poverty Reduction Planning & Actions Stream 1 -Application Form 4 headed by women, individuals on low income or social assistance, employment insurance, WCB or disability, those renting rather than owning their residences, and households in the workforce who are not able to make ends meet due to low-paying and unstable employment and the high cost of living (3,4). In 2011/2012, 65% of those experiencing household food insecurity in BC were earning wages, salaries or are self-employed (3). Fewer households whose main source of income was from government support to seniors (i.e., public pensions) were food insecure compared to households reliant on social assistance (12.6% vs 76.0%) (4). In 2017, the monthly cost of a basic healthy diet for an average family of four in Maple Ridge was $983, an increase from $958 in 2015 (5). After accounting for income, a family of four on income assistance in BC would have to spend at least 44% of its household budget every month just to afford a basic healthy diet. This is not feasible given the cost of housing, transportation, childcare, and other basic needs. The reality is healthy food is unattainable for some low-income families, not just because of the price of food, but because of lack of income. The primary response to food insecurity in BC has been at the local level through food banks and community food-based initiatives like community gardens. These efforts can support important goals like emergency food relief, improved food literacy, social connectedness and a more sustainable food system, but research shows that household food insecurity cannot be fixed through food-based initiatives or charitable efforts alone. Food insecurity is rooted in poverty and financial constraints, indicating that social policies are needed to address the root causes. If successful in obtaining this grant, the City of Maple Ridge would be able to conduct a community food security assessment to understand the issues affecting food insecurity among our residents as well as develop a community food security plan with a poverty reduction lens so that there can be a coordinated effort to reduce food insecurity in Maple Ridge. Definitions: Food security exists when "all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life." (6) Household food insecurity is "the inadequate or insecure access to food due to financial constraints." (7) References: 1. My Health My Community Survey (2014).

In 2019, a draft report including a number or recommendations that complement the existing Age-friendly Strategy was submitted to City staff for review. At this time, staff are recommending that the Plan's recommendations be incorporated into the Age-friendly implementation strategy and the Plan. RECOMMENDATION: That the Dementia Friendly Community Plan attached to this report dated February 18, 2020 be endorsed, and further; That the Dementia Friendly Community Plan be included as an appendix to the Age-friendly Action Plan, and Implementation Strategy. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows Katzie Seniors Network (the Network) is a grassroots planning table that acts as a resource providing advice on long-term planning issues related to seniors in the community. The Network is involved in many community initiatives including the creation and continued implementation of the Age-friendly Communities Initiative. Due to the Network's commitment to the Age-friendly Communities Initiative, the City was recognized by the World Health Organization as a member of their Age-friendly Cities and Communities Network in 2019. #2381395 Page 1 of 3 1154 ~--_--------------~==~---------In 2018, the City provided the Network with $20,000, through its Community Grant program, to support the development of a Dementia Friendly Community Plan (the Plan) to complement the Age-friendly Action Plan. With these funds, the Network established a working group with the support of the BC Alzheimer's Society, City staff and stakeholders to develop a Dementia Friendly Community Plan. This Plan, if endorsed, will support the City's efforts in becoming a more inclusive community for people living with dementia as well as their families and caregivers. During development, the working group engaged the community through a number of channels that included conducting focus groups, surveys and walkability studies of the Town Centre which encompassed participation from citizens with living experience and their caregivers. In addition to the development of the Plan, the working group also hosted the 2nd Annual Dementia Friends, 'Walk in the Box' event and provided Dementia Friends Education to the Parks, Recreation & Culture leadership team. Once endorsed, the recommended actions will be folded into the existing Age-friendly Implementation Strategy, overseen by the Municipal Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Inclusiveness. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome of the Plan is to ensure that individuals living with dementia and their caregivers have access to the proper resources and supports to age in place. c) Strategic Alignment: The Plan aligns with the Age-friendly Communities Initiative, and with Council's strategic priorities; Community Safety and Community Pride and Spirit. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: Through implementation of the Plan, individuals with a diagnosis of dementia will have additional supports to age in place bringing benefits to the entire community of Maple Ridge. e) Interdepartmental Implications: The implementation of the Plan will be overseen by the Municipal Advisory Committee on Accessibility and Inclusiveness and supported by Parks, Recreation & Culture staff. f) Business Plan/Financial Implications: Staff anticipate a total of $12,000 over the next three years will be required to support the Seniors Network Coordinator in achieving the deliverables set out in the Plan, the cost of which can be covered within the PRC budget through Gaming Revenue. In addition, the working group will actively seek grant funding where appropriate. CONCLUSION: Although the Dementia Friendly Community Plan is designed to meet the needs of a specific population, its implementation will move the City towards becoming a more inclusive community for not only those affected by the disease but their caregivers and broader community. #2381395 Page 2 of 3 Prepared by: Petra Frederick, Recreatio oordinator, Community Engagement -Reviewed by: Tony Cotroneo, Recreation Manager, Community Engagement ~--Reviewed by: Danielle Pope, Approved by: Concurrence: Attachments: Director, Recreation & Community Engagement David Boag, General Manager, P.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common example of a disorder that causes dementia. Symptoms may include memory loss and difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language that are severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. Not all older adults will develop dementia (i.e. it is not a "normal" part of aging), however age is considered the biggest risk factor for developing dementia. Dementia is a progressive, non-reversible disease, meaning it will get worse over time and is eventually terminal. The Canadian population is aging. In 2016 the percentage of seniors (18.3%) living in British Columbia actually surpassed the percentage of children under age 15 (14.9%) (Statistics Canada, 2016). Canadians are also living longer and with advanced age comes increased risk of dementia. Therefore, the number of seniors living with dementia, in Maple Ridge (and globally), will continue to increase. Approximately 60% of these individuals will continue living in the community. The Alzheimer Society of B.C.'s Dementia-Friendly Communities (DFC) Initiative provides communities with assistance developing tailored approaches to supporting people living with dementia in their community. What is a Dementia-Friendly Community? A DFC is a community that focuses on the inclusion of people living with dementia as well as on stigma reduction. DFC's also provide resources, programs and services that support people living with dementia to remain engaged and connected for as long as possible. DFC are defined by both their social and physical characteristics. Examples of Social Characteristics Examples of Physical Characteristics • City staff are educated about dementia • Clear and legible signage placed at eye-level. and able to communicate effectively • Well-kept streets . with a person living with dementia. • Easy-to-use street furniture in styles familiar • The general public recognizes that to people . dementia can affect a person's memory, • Accessible and universal public washrooms . judgement, behaviour, personality and Distinctive structures and landmarks for physical capabilities but that those living • with dementia are much more than their orientation and wayfinding. diagnosis. • Welcoming and inclusive civic facilities, open • Social and recreational programming is spaces and parks. inclusive of people living with dementia and their care partners. Page4 Dementia-Friendly Community Plan The project was led by the Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Katzie, and Seniors Network (SN). A DFC Task Group comprised of members from the Seniors Network, residents with living experiences, health care providers, care partners, non-profit organizations, businesses, and city staff was formed. Guidance and support were provided by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. This work complements the Age-Friendly Implementation (AFI) Plan endorsed by Maple Ridge City (CMR) Council in 2018 and the recommendations outlined will be incorporated into this Plan. VISION OF THE DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY A DFC is one that is inclusive of people living with dementia and is also focused on stigma reduction. In a DFC, the needs of individuals living with dementia, as well as the needs of their care partners (i.e. family and friends living with and/or supporting them), are addressed and their experiences are valued (Shannon, Bail, & Neville, 2018). Persons living with dementia are supported to remain engaged in their community for as long as possible. Goals of the Dementia-Friendly Community Initiative The initiative aims to: 1) Support people living with dementia and their care partners to have the highest quality of life possible in their own community by reducing the stigma associated with dementia. 2) Reduce organizational, social and physical barriers that prevent people living with dementia from fully engaging in community activities. 3) Support people living with dementia to live safely and comfortably in their own community for as long as possible. 4) Build understanding and knowledge about dementia among professionals such as City Staff and local business owners. Page 5 ' ' -' ' ~~~~-------------Dementia-Friendly Community Plan 5) Promote and optimize the health and well-being of people living with dementia and their care partners. 6) Encourage ongoing collaboration and partnerships in our community (e.g. between non-profit organizations and/or businesses) that will further support those living with dementia. How does the Dementia-Friendly Communities Initiative Complement Age-Friendly Communities Work? The concept of an Age-Friendly Community (AFC), developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), is one where people of all ages are supported to age actively, are valued and treated with respect, and are included in all areas of community life. The aim of AFC is to optimize opportunities for health, participation and security, in order to enhance quality of life while respecting lifestyle choices. AFC planning on its own, does not necessarily incorporate people living with dementia into the process of implementing change. Adding a Dementia Friendly lens helps us to: • Actively engage with people affected by dementia in order to make sure that their wants and needs are addressed and that their lived experiences are valued. • Empower people living with dementia and other cognitive impairments by ensuring policies and projects are informed by their needs and experiences. • Assess the built environment to identify gaps in public spaces in order to make them more supportive and inclusive of people living with dementia. • Acknowledge care partners and the concepts of interdependence and reliance. • Recognize people living with impairments who may feel excluded from the active-aging framework guiding age-friendly work. • Complement age-friendly initiatives by adding nuances and depth to reflect the needs and experiences of people living with dementia. • Dispel stereotypes about dementia by educating the community that dementia is not a normal part of aging and is not isolated to older adults-dementia can affect individuals in their thirties, forties, fifties, and early sixties. DEMENTIA IN OUR COMMUNITY In the Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows area, the estimated number of people living with dementia has increased from 619 in 2007 /2008 to 1,107 in 2016/2017. These numbers are expected to continue to rise due to increases in the aging population and the growing senior's demographic in Maple Ridge.

The case definition applies to persons aged 40 and older. Dementia-Friendly Maple Ridge Project The Seniors Network, was instrumental in the CMR completing and receiving Provincial AF recognition and full membership in the WHO Global Network for Age-friendly Cities and Communities (WHO), through the work completed in Age-friendly planning and the implementation strategy. The CMR provided funding to the SN to conduct a DFC project in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of B.C. in 2018. The DF MR project builds on existing age-friendly recommendations, while avoiding duplication. The DF MR project will form part of the AFC Implementation Plan. Project activities included a literature review, focus groups, a community survey, walkability studies, as well as presentations to the Mayor, Council and City staff. Page 7 Dementia-Friendly Community Plan Role of the Municipality Municipalities have an important role to play in facilitating independence, reducing stigma, and contributing to the quality of life for people living with dementia who live in the community. Municipalities can make significant differences through changes to policies and bylaws; by investing in infrastructure, parks and public spaces, programming and services, and signage; and influencing or informing other aspects of the built environment, including private development. Municipalities can assess how Dementia Friendly they are based on these four points: • People: How do caregivers, family members, friends, neighbours, health care professionals, social service workers and the wider community respond to and support people living with dementia? • Place: How do housing, neighbourhood physical environments and transport systems support people living with dementia? • Resources: Are there enough facilities and services available to people living with dementia and are they appropriate to their needs and supportive of their capabilities? How well can people living with dementia access civic, community and social resources? • Supports: Do those who support people living with dementia communicate, collaborate and plan together well enough to provide the best support and do they use people's own 'assets' well? (Creating a Dementia-Friendly York, 2012). Municipal leaders and staff can work to: • be inclusive of people living with dementia; • eliminate stigma and address misinformation associated with dementia; • provide patient, respectful and responsive customer service; • reduce barriers to engaging in civic and community activities; • support understanding in the business community and professional sector; and • use a dementia-friendly lens to inform the design of built environment features such as buildings, public spaces and signage. This plan is focused primarily on actions of the City, however senior levels of government also have an important role to play by ensuring adequate levels of home supports and respite services, competent medical care, affordable and accessible housing; as well as efficient transportation throughout the region. This Dementia-Friendly Community Plan will form part of the CM R's AFC Implementation Plan. The Plan is overseen by the Municipal Advisory Community on Accessibility and Inclusiveness (MACAI) and informed by the work and annual review of the SN. Page 8 Dementia-Friendly Community Plan RESEARCH ACTIVITIES Literature Review The Task Group conducted a literature review to build on projects done in other communities, identify promising community engagement strategies and dementia-friendly community actions which may be relevant to the CMR. Articles, reports and studies related to DFC were compiled to help determine best practices for our local project. This work was supported by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Focus Groups Two focus groups were held with people living with dementia, caregivers and community members. The goal was to ensure this project, and future work, is being driven by the recommendations, insight and values of individuals with lived experience. In MR, we are very fortunate to have had one of the focus groups facilitated by a person living with dementia and a caregiver for a person living with dementia. Discussion questions focused on city facilities and programs, their accessibility, inclusiveness and ease of use. For a complete list of question, see Appendix A. Survey A survey consisting of 15 questions was developed to engage people living with dementia and their caregivers to better understand their lived experience and ideas for how to make Maple Ridge more DF. The survey was distributed on line and in print to key locations such as recreation and seniors' centers, libraries and through the Seniors Network members. All responses were anonymous; however, participants were asked to indicate if they were a person living with dementia, a person living with dementia with the assistance of a caregiver, family member or friend, or a caregiver, or health care worker. 38 surveys were completed. A copy of the survey is included in Appendix B. The majority of surveys were completed by caregivers, family members or health care workers who had been living in the city for 10 years or more. Several respondents asked for improved support for caregivers and education for health care workers. Walkability Studies Two walking interviews were conducted in the downtown core of MR. The first, on September 10, 2018 covered the area around City Hall and the Haney Transit Exchange, south down 226th Street to Lougheed Highway and then north up 224th Street and back through Memorial Peace Park. The second also covered City Hall and side streets west of 224th to 222nd and north to Dewdney Trunk Rd. The goal was to foster discussion, facilitated by our Healthy Built Environment coordinator from Fraser Health, between people living with dementia and other disabilities and city engineers, bylaws, and fire protection. During both walks, participants gained a better understanding of how the built environment can be improved to support people living with dementia in the community. Page 9 Dementia-Friendly Community Plan Results Based on focus groups, survey results, and walkability studies, organized by the Dementia Friendly Maple Ridge Project, detailed suggestions emerged around how to make aspects of the CMR more Dementia Friendly. The following provides an overview of these suggestions and the recommendations are outlined in more detail in the Recommendations and Actions portion of this document. Overall, feedback from participants was very positive. The majority found municipal buildings and programs welcoming and easy to use. Examples of recommendations included the need to: • increase number of accessible washrooms in city facilities; • improve wayfinding around City Hall and Memorial Peace Park; • make improvements to walkways by adding railings in strategic locations; and • increase street furniture (e.g. benches) around the main transit exchange and key walking routes. The stigma associated with dementia is often one of the biggest barriers for people living with the disease. The symptoms vary greatly from one person to the next and many people are reluctant to self-identify as someone living with dementia. Offering DF education to frontline city staff, and the general public, and developing an education project for retail workers were suggested. We now have an opportunity in MR to improve communication around the programs and services in the city available to people living with dementia and their caregivers. As a start, the committee was able to inform the development of the new Seniors Resource Guide and a section for Dementia Supports was added in the 2018 addition. More recreational programming that provides social and fitness opportunities and is inclusive of people living with dementia is needed. Research shows physical exercise and social engagement can slow the progression of the disease. For example, a walking group for people living with dementia could support both recommendations and provide respite for caregivers. More spaces are needed in Page 10 -, Dementia-Friendly Community Plan adult day programs. There are opportunities to create low-cost, community-based day programs with volunteer support. A need to encourage people living with dementia to continue volunteering in their community was highlighted. Person-specific modifications to volunteer positions (e.g. partnering people together, simplified tasks) can allow individuals living with dementia to remain active and engaged in the community for much longer. The Recommendations and Actions section of this report highlights potential solutions to these concerns and many more. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT Walk for Memories The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's is Canada's biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. Monies raised support local programs and services that improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families, as well as support other activities like education and public awareness. In Maple Ridge, the DFC Task Group hosted its first Walk-in-a-Box (smaller community event) on May 12, 2018 in Memorial Peace Park. It was one of 320 walks that took place across Canada last year. The Maple Ridge Walk was attended by a small, enthusiastic group of residents and volunteers and raised just over $800 for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. It was a great opportunity to begin a dialogue with the community on dementia education and to help start to reduce the stigma associated with the disease. .1 ·:· ! . -f Page 11 $ l ~ -· ---------Dementia-Friendly Community Plan Community Champions The Parks, Recreation and Culture Winter 2018 Program Guide supported the DFC Project by featuring one of our local dementia advocates, Myrna Norman, in its Winter Program Guide. Myrna told her story of living well with dementia and the need to foster a supportive and inclusive community for people living with dementia. NEXT STEPS IMPLEMENTATION & MONITORING The DFC Plan will be forwarded to MR City Council for endorsement in January 2020. If endorsed, the City's Community Engagement Recreation Coordinator will be responsible for working with City Departments to move forward with the implementation of the recommendations and actions. The AFC Task Group of the SN will continue to review, evaluate, and revise the recommendations on an annual basis and will support the work as funding becomes available. The timeframes will be determined within the AFI Strategy through consultation with CMR departments. Certain actions may change or evolve based on discussions with Departments. Progress on the Dementia-Friendly Community plan will form part of the annual report from the SN. The report will highlight which actions have been fully, partially or not implemented, and will provide next steps for pursuing the recommendations. The AF Task Group reports to the MACAI and through them, to MR Council.

Municipal staff have reviewed the proposed location within Selvey Park, and the proposed agreement provided by the Ministry, and it has also been reviewed by our legal advisors (Attachment 1). RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Selvey Park Observation Well Agreement with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy for the purpose of establishing an observation well for the Whonnock Aquifer. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network (PGOWN) is operated through a joint partnership between the Ministry of Forest, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (MFLNRORD) and the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (MOECCS). 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 53 active observation wells in the South Coast region including two in Maple Ridge; one in Thornhill Park (Aquifer #19) which was installed in 2018, and one in Whonnock (Aquifer #26) which has been used to collect data on the Whonnock Aquifer for nearly 40 years. MFLNRORD identified a beneficial well location for monitoring the Whonnock Aquifer on lands owned by the City of Maple Ridge at Selvey Park. The site location was refined through discussions with City staff (Appendix 1). The location of the observation well is proposed to be in an area of the park which would not detract from park patrons' enjoyment, with easy access from 106 Avenue and at an appropriate distance from the parking area. MFLNRORD proposes #2329302 Page 1of 4 1155 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 the MOECCS and coordinated through the MFLNRORD. The Whonnock Aquifer (Aquifer #26), a large sand and gravel aquifer located in the northeast portion of Maple Ridge, has been deemed by the Ministry to be of high importance to the local community. While the Province already had a Whonnock Aquifer observation well installed in 1980, the Ministry staff have shared that it suffers from 'noisy' data due to other nearby wells that interfere with the water level and chemistry data. It is hoped that this new well will provide a better understanding of groundwater levels with less impact from the community well and that it will eventually replace the existing observation well. Ministry staff anticipate that data from the proposed Whonnock 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 listed below: 1) Groundwater Level Data Interactive Map: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-wate r /water /gro u n dwater-wel ls-aq u if ers/grou ndwater-observation-wel 1-network/grou ndwater-l evel-data-i nteractive-ma p 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 agreement provided by the MFLNRORD (Attachment 1) has been reviewed by the City's legal advisors and is attached for Council's consideration. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is to provide a suitable site for an observation well within the Whonnock Aquifer area. c) Strategic Alignment: This recommendation aligns with Council's strategic priority of Natural Environment and Intergovernmental Relations and supports the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network program that provides valuable groundwater information to our residents. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The proposed observation well in Selvey Park provides a location to monitor the Whonnock Aquifer with the data obtained by the Province being shared with the public through the Province's groundwater websites. e) Interdepartmental Implications: Environmental Planning staff have been informed of the Provincial Groundwater Observation Well Network program and have reviewed and endorsed the proposed well location. #2329302 Page 2 of 4 ...... ------------.---. -------------~ --~~-f} Business Plan/Financial Implications: All costs to establish, maintain and decommission the observation well will be borne by the MOECCS. g) Alternatives: The alternative would be to decline the request of an agreement with the Province and direct staff to recommend other nearby lands within the Whonnock Aquifer area that may be suitable. This is not recommended as the location identified in Selvey Park is considered by the Province to be a beneficial well location for monitoring the Whonnock Aquifer without detracting from park patrons' use and enjoyment of the park. CONCLUSION: The Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (MFLNRORD) has requested permission to establish an observation well in Selvey Park to monitor the Whonnock Aquifer. Establishment, maintenance and observation activities for the well would not significantly impact park use and enjoyment, therefore staff in the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department support this request.

When Council agreed to split the project into two phases to allow additional time for the announcement of a significant infrastructure fund grant, the RFEOI was rescheduled to align with the new completion date of 2021. However, during the 2020 business planning process, Council requested that staff provide information on what a City direct service model would offer before proceeding with a formal RFEOI process. The following report outlines the City's proposed service delivery model, which includes a blend of partnerships, contracts and direct municipal services. RECOMMENDATION: Option A That staff be directed to move forward with a city service model for the operation and service delivery of the Albion Community Centre, OR Option B That staff be directed to move ahead with a third party operator and conduct a Request for Expression of Interest for the operation and service delivery of the Albion Community Centre. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: In February 2016, the City and School District No. 42 (SD42) undertook a joint consultation process with the community in regards to a potential joint schooljcommunity centre site in the Albion area. The feedback collected illustrated that users were interested in a broad range of programs and services including, but not limited to fine arts, recreation, childcare, sport and family programming. Features of the ACC include a great hall, multi-use spaces designed to 2392947 Page 1 of 4 1201 accommodate both active and passive programming, a teach kitchen and childcare/youth space. Based on community feedback, staff awarded the detailed design of the building and earthworks portion (Phase 1) of the contract with an estimated completion date of April 2020 at which time construction of the facility (Phase 2) will begin (after the outcome of the City's grant application of $5 million is known). At this point, staff request direction from Council on whether to proceed with a procurement process (RFEOI, Request for Proposal or tender process) or move forward with a City operating model. This report contains background on a city operating model; however, staff is unable to provide Council with options and services that could be provided by a third party as a comparison without initiating a formal procurement process as described below. Procurement Processes An RFEOI process will help identify potential interested service providers with experience operating facilities similar to the ACC, however, this process will likely not include any information on service delivery models, expertise or costs. A request for proposal would be the next level of procurement options, where service providers can offer a range of programming and services based on their own service delivery model. It is important to note that this step is only to be undertaken when the City intends to award a contract for the services offered. A tender process for selecting a service provider can also be used, however it is typically based on low bid only and the services tendered are generally prescribed in advance by the agency soliciting the quote. In order to engage an outside operator for the ACC, a competitive procurement process is required to meet the City's Purchasing Policy and applicable trade agreements. City Operating Model There is a strong connection between what Parks, Recreation and Culture (PRC) provides to the community and the intended service delivery of the ACC based on community consultation. A municipal operation model for the Albion Community Centre anticipates the following: 2392947 A convenient registration process allowing participation at t/ie ACC, (eisure Centre ana other facilities throughout Maple Ridge for services, such as swim lessons, skate lessons, art classes and others A facility that would be open 7 days a week, morning to evening including after school programming for children 5 days a week and evening/weekend youth programs Low barrier wellness and fitness classes for active seniors, introductory sport programming for children and families and creative activities for young adults Programs and services would be facilitated by City staff, supplemented by service partners with unique expertise and skills beyond typical City program services. Programming for day camps on professional days and summer holidays, first aid training, babysitter courses and parenVchild activities The hybrid service delivery model would include programs offered by the Arts Council, our Fitness contractor and sport training with specialized local professionals. Page 2 of 4 ACC would serve as an accessible rental space for non-profits, local art groups and sport clubs through Council approved fees and charges. The building would showcase public art and highlight local talent through indoor/outdoor events throughout the year. The flexible multipurpose space will enhance sport development through PRC's established programs for athletic training, volunteer recruitment and athlete recognition. The ACC would remain a City controlled asset, and programs and services would be based on community needs. Under a city model, the operation of Albion Community Centre would be overseen by an existing Manager in the Recreation & Community Engagement Department and be supported by work teams who currently provide programming and services at the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre and throughout the community. The proposed budget, developed in 2016 and updated to reflect 2020 figures, includes administrative support for customer service, programming and some front line service workers for drop-in programming that will focus on the ACC and needs of the immediate neighbourhood which equates to approximately 5 Full Time Equivalents. Janitorial services are budgeted as a contract service as are a number of facility maintenance services, such as, HVAC and Elevators consistent with the practice in civic facilities maintenance programs. (PRC's registered programs typically operate on a cost recovery model.) PRC's recreational programs emphasize physical literacy with the intention of introducing citizens to a healthy lifestyle and inspire active pursuits throughout their lives. Through the City, PRC has an extensive history of managing community hubs, gathering places and spaces that provide low barrier access and affordability for all citizens. As a City operated asset, staff would strive to remove barriers to participation and prioritize accessibility through our participation program and partner funding. Through on line and face-to-face engagement, PRC builds trust that strengthens resident's connection to the City and promotes community pride and spirit. Options for Council Council may choose to operate this new facility directly which staff believe would provide a higher level of control of the facility maintenance and the services provided. Alternatively, Council may wish to explore other service providers, however the community's desired services that the consultation process identified should be strongly considered when exploring this option, as well as how an alternate service provider would be able meet or adapt to the emerging needs of the community. b) Desired Outcome: The desired outcome is to provide staff with direction on Council's preferred operating model. c) Strategic Alignment: The proposed services and programs provided in the background of this report support Council's priority of Community Pride and Spirit by designing programs and services based on community consultation and engagement. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: A City operated model would provide citizens with seamless service delivery between the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre and Albion Community Centre. Additionally, some popular 2392947 Page 3 of 4 programming duplicated at the ACC from the Leisure Centre, could potentially relieve pressure on the busy Leisure Centre during peak times. e) Interdepartmental Implications: The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department historically operated out of two main buildings until the dissolution of the joint parks and leisure services agreement with Pitt Meadows in 2016. Managing two full service public buildings provides for the coordination of broader community programming, balancing administrative tasks with facility capacity, and extends the reach of events and activities. f) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The estimated annual net operating budget under a City operating model is $653,000 plus capital costs for furniture, fixtures and equipment of approximately $300,000 in year one when the facility opens. g) Policy Implications: If Council determines to move forward with a third party operator for the Albion Community Centre, a competitive procurement process is required in order to meet the City's Purchasing Policy, and applicable trade agreements. CONCLUSION: The Albion Community Centre will be an exceptional asset for the City and the residents in the east area of Maple Ridge who have been without a gathering place since the demolition of the old Albion Hall in 2010.
