City of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: November 2, 2021 FILE NO: 2021-233-RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C o W SUBJECT: First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7785-2021 20383 Ospring Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 20383 Ospring Street, from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential), to permit a future subdivision of two single-family lots. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. Pursuant to Council policy, this application is subject to the Community Amenity Contribution Program at a rate of $5,100 for the additional lot, as the original lot is exempt when a subdivision is proposing fewer than three lots. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7785-2021 be given first reading; and further 2. That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules B and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, along with the information required for a Subdivision application.

The subject property is primarily flat with some areas elevated, and existing shrubs and trees (see Appendix B). Property records indicate that a portion of the site, located within the front yard setback, is within the designated floodplain. c) Project Description The applicant is proposing to rezone the property to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) in order to create two single-family lots. Although additional lane dedication is likely required, the property still has sufficient lot area for this purpose. A previous application for the subject property, file number 2017-07 4-RZ was granted third reading on February 26, 2019. As the applicant did not submit a Development Variance Permit application, the aforementioned application was closed. During consideration of the former application, based on the site context, Council had required sound attenuation with specific construction standards due to close proximity to the CP Railway. Furthermore, registration of a restrictive covenant for this purpose was required. These conditions will likely be required again for the subject application. d} Planning Analysis Official Community Plan The subject property is located within the Lower Hammond precinct of the Hammond Area Plan and is currently designated Single-Family & Compact Residential. The intent of this designation is to allow residential density increases that are compatible with existing single-family neighbourhoods and character. This designation is consistent with the Hammond Area Plan. Therefore, no OCP amendment will be required to allow the proposed R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) zoning under the subject application. 2021-233-RZ Page 2 of 4
Zoning Bylaw The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 20383 Ospring Street from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) (see Appendix C) to permit future subdivision into two proposed single-family lots (see Appendix D). The subject property is approximately 891m2 (9,591 ft2) in area, and minimum lot size for the proposed zone is 371m2 (3,993 ft2). A lane dedication of approximately 1.5m (4.9 ft) with a corner truncation is anticipated, which will result in proposed lot depths of under 24m (78.7 ft) and will require a Development Variance Permit application. Advisory Design Panel A Development Permit is not required; therefore, a review by the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading is not required. Development Information Meeting As the subject application is proposing two single-family residential lots, a Development Information Meeting is not required for this application. 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; f) Canada Pacific Rail; 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 B); 2. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); and 3. A Subdivision Application. 2021-233-RZ Page 3 of 4
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, therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading, subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the Approving Officer.

TO: FROM: SUBJECT: City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer First Reading Zone Amending Bylaw No. 777 4-2021 23348 141 Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MEETING DATE: November 2, 2021 FILE NO: 2021-323-RZ MEETING: C o W An application has been received to rezone the subject property, located at 23348 141 Avenue, from RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) and R-2 (Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential), to permit a future subdivision of approximately 23 single-family lots. The proposed development will require minor amendments to the Official Community Plan. The proposed amendments are required to achieve a balance between Open Space/Conservation areas, and the emerging development pattern. As per Council Policy 6.31, a Community Amenity Contribution (CAC) of $5,100 per single-family lot is applicable. The total estimated CAC cost will be $117,300 based on the preliminary plan showing 23 single family lots. It is noted that a number of technical reports are required for this project to advance to second reading, and thus lot boundaries and yields may change as a result. Since this first reading report is based on a preliminary plan, the total CAC figure may change. This proposed development will gain access from 141 Avenue and a road proposed under rezoning application 2020-168-RZ that was considered at the June 15, 2021 Public Hearing. The subject application will include a continuation of the Open Space/Conservation area proposed to the south, under rezoning application 2020-168-RZ. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act, requirement for consultation during the development or amendment of an Official Community Plan, Council must consider whether consultation is required with specifically: i. The Board of the Regional District in which the area covered by the plan is located, in the case of a Municipal Official Community Plan; ii. The Board of any Regional District that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iii. The Council of any municipality that is adjacent to the area covered by the plan; iv. First Nations; v. Boards of Education, Greater Boards and Improvements District Boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies; 1102 2021-323-RZ Page 1 of 6
and in that regard it is recommended that no additional consultation be required in respect of this matter beyond the early posting of the proposed Official Community Plan amendments on the City's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment; and 2. That Zone Amending Bylaw No. 777 4-2021 be given first reading; and 3.

b) Site Characteristics The subject property is located in Silver Valley, south of 141 Avenue, west of Silver Valley Road and east of 232 Street. The subject property contains a single-family dwelling structure located at the north-east corner that will be removed prior to final reading. The subject property also contains accessory structures (see Appendices A and B). The property slopes from the north-east to the south. There is a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees scattered throughout the subject property (see Appendix C). c) Project Description The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) with five lots ranging from 371m2 to 790m2, and R-2 (Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential) with 18 lots ranging from 315m2 to 352m2, to allow a subdivision of approximately 23 single-family lots. At this time, the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan (OCP) and provide a land use assessment only. Detailed review and comments will need to be made once full application packages have been received. A more detailed analysis and further reports will be required prior to second reading. Elements to be reviewed by the City include: • Environmental report regarding the creeks; • Arborist report assessing significant stands of trees; • Servicing and lot grading plans; and • Geotechnical report. Assessment of these elements may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis Official Community Plan The subject property is located within the Silver Valley Area Plan and is currently designated Eco Cluster, Open Space and Conservation. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to adjust the Open Space, Conservation and Eco Cluster boundaries to achieve a design for the development that is in keeping with the Eco Cluster concept and protecting natural features detailed in the Silver Valley Area Plan. An Eco Cluster is a group of housing units, condensed within clearly defined limits, surrounded by open space and linked to other parts of the Silver Valley community by a single local road. Eco-Clusters are intended to provide development opportunities in sparsely developed or rural areas, in a cluster form which supports sensitive implementation, minimal site re-grading and tree clearing, and integration of housing into a forest setting. The Eco Cluster OCP designation permits various zones and housing types to encourage diversification. Eco-Clusters may include multi-family units as well as single-family lots. The proposed OCP amendment does not increase the density of the proposal. The OCP amendment will facilitate an overall design that supports the Eco Cluster concept. The exact designation boundary amendments have not been determined. These boundaries will be determined once all reviews of the above-noted reports/plans for the project are completed. 2021-323-RZ Page 3 of 6
Zoning Bylaw The current application proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) to R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) and R-2 (Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential), to permit a future development of approximately 23 single-family lots. Any variations from the requirements of the proposed zones will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the OCP, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for: • All areas designated Conservation on Schedule "B" or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule "B", or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver Valley Area Plan; • All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %; and • All floodplain areas and forest lands identified on Natural Features Schedule "C" to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment and for development that is protected from hazardous conditions. Pursuant to Section 8.12 of the OCP, a Wildfire Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity identified in wildfire risk areas. The purpose of the Wildfire Development Permit is for the protection of life and property in designated areas that could be at risk for wildland fire and where this risk may be reasonably abated through implementation of appropriate precautionary measures. The subject property is located within the Wildfire Development Permit Area; prior to second reading a Registered Professional Forester's Report will be required to determine wildfire mitigation requirements. Development Information Meeting Prior to second reading, the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 6.20. 2021-323-RZ Page 4 of 6
e) Interdepartmental Implications Following first reading, comments and input will be sought from the various internal departments and external agencies listed below: a) Engineering Department; b) Operations Department; c) Fire Department; d) Building Department; e) Parks, Recreation and Culture Department; f) School District; g) Utility companies; and h) 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) Early and Ongoing Consultation In respect of Section 475 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an OCP amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the City's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. g) Development Applications In order for this application to proceed, the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-1999, as amended: 1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E); 4. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 5. A Natural Features Development Permit Application (Schedule G); 6. A Wildfire Development Permit Application (Schedule J); and 7. A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. 2021-323-RZ Page 5 of 6
CONCLUSION The development proposal is in general compliance with the policies of the OCP; however, land-use designation and boundary adjustments may occur once the full assessment is completed prior to second reading. Justification has been provided to support the OCP amendments; therefore, it is recommended that Council grant first reading, subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. The proposed layout has not been reviewed in relation to the relevant bylaws and regulations governing subdivision applications. Any subdivision layout provided is strictly preliminary and must be approved by the Approving Officer.

1~•-mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge TO: FROM: SUBJECT: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer Development Variance Permit 21759 River Road EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MEETING DATE: FILE NO: MEETING: November 2, 2021 2018-444-DVP cow Development Variance Permit application 2018-444-DVP has been received in conjunction with a Rezoning application and a Subdivision application. The requested variance is to: • Reduce the minimum lot width for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone from 15.0m (49.2 ft.) to 13.6m (44.6 ft.). Council will be considering final reading for rezoning application 2018-444-RZ on November 9, 2021. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2018-444-DVP be approved. RECOMMENDATION That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2018-444-DVP respecting property located at 21759 River Road. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Zone: Designation: South: Use: Zone: Designation: 2018-444-DVP Pav Rakhra Lot 88 District Lot 247 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan 32510 Urban Residential Urban Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) Single-Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Urban Residential Single-Family Residential RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Urban Residential 1103 Page 1 of 3
East: Use: Single-Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Single-Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential Existing Use of Property: Single-Family Residential Single-Family Residential 0.13 ha (0.32 acres) River Road Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Urban Standard b) Project Description The subject property is approximately 0.13 ha (0.32 acres) in area, is generally flat and has trees located within the front yard and along the western property boundary. The subject property is surrounded by single family residential lots to the west, north and east, with River Road located to the south (see Appendices A and B). The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), to permit future subdivision into two lots, not less than 557m2 (5,996ft2). The proposed lot sizes of 595m2 (6,405ft2) and 613m2 (6,598ft2) will ensure compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood that meets the minimum area requirements of the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. The applicant is proposing two lots that are slightly under the 15m (49ft) width requirement; therefore, a Development Variance Permit application is required to reduce the lot width requirement (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 variance and rationale for support is described below: 1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No. 3510-1985, MINIMUM LOT AREA AND DIMENSIONS, Schedule D, (RS-1b): to reduce the minimum lot width from 15.0m (49ft) to 13.6m (45ft.). The proposed variance to lot width is supported as it is consistent with other similar lot width variance requests, is minor in nature and the proposed lot areas exceed the minimum lot area requirement for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. 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. 2018-444-DVP Page 2 of 3
CONCLUSION: The proposed variance to lot width is supported as it is consistent with other similar lot width variance requests, is minor in nature and the proposed lot areas exceed the minimum lot area requirement for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2018-444-DVP.

City of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council MEETING DATE: November 2, 2021 FILE NO: 2021-494-RZ FROM: SUBJECT: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C o W Parking Bylaw Amendment -Payment In-Lieu Parking Rate First, Second, and Third Reading Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to bring forward the Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 to increase the payment in-lieu rate in the Parking Bylaw (Appendix A). The payment in-lieu rate is viewed as an interim amendment as further work on the appropriate valuation will be a component of the Parking Bylaw comprehensive review in 2022. At the October 19, 2021, Council Workshop, staff presented a scan of thirteen municipalities' payment in-lieu rates and proposed increasing the rate to $20,000 per parking stall. The proposed rate is the average of the payment in-lieu rates within the municipal scan. The proposed Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 also prohibits properties zoned for single-detached, duplex, triplex, fourplex, and courtyard uses from utilizing the payment in-lieu option. At the October 19, 2021 Workshop, Council directed the draft Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 be forwarded to a future Committee of the Whole Meeting. RECOMMENDATION That Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 be given first, second, and third reading. 1.0 BACKGROUND The Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 (Parking Bylaw) contains a provision that allows property owners to pay monies in-lieu of providing the required number of parking stalls on a property zoned for multi-family, commercial, or institutional use and located within a 930m radius of City Hall (in the Town Centre Area). At the October 19, 2021, Council Workshop, staff presented an interim parking in-lieu rate increase based on preliminary research of other local municipalities (see Appendix B). A bylaw to amend the Parking Bylaw has been prepared (see Appendix A) and the proposed amendment would change the current parking rate from $12,500 per parking stall (non-residential use) and $8,000 per parking stall (residential use) to $20,000 per stall, for both residential and non-residential uses. Currently, the Parking Bylaw in-lieu option excludes single-detached residential and two-unit residential uses within the residential in-lieu option. The proposed amending bylaw expands the prohibition of this option to triplex, fourplex, and courtyard uses. The proposed amendment to the payment in-lieu rate is viewed as an interim amendment, as further work on the appropriate valuation of constructing a parking stall in multi-family, commercial, and 1104 Doc # 2895280 Page 1 of 2
institutional forms of development within Maple Ridge will occur in 2022 as a component of the Parking Bylaw comprehensive review. 1.1 Informing Existing and Future Applicants Should Council adopt the proposed Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021, the new rate would apply to instream rezoning applications that have not received first reading before the amending bylaw is adopted. Additionally, the new rate would not apply to other applications (such as Development Permits) that were received prior to adoption of the amending bylaw. Should Council move the amending bylaw forward, file managers will be informing applicants that have not received first reading of the payment in-lieu rate change. Additionally, staff will be informing the Urban Development Institute (UDI) of the rate change. 2.0 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT An update to the payment in-lieu parking alternative provisions to become a better utilized alternative aligns with the Growth pillar of the 2019-2022 City of Maple Ridge Strategic Plan. 3.0 CONCLUSION The Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 proposes an interim increase to the payment in-lieu rate in the Parking Bylaw and prohibits properties zoned for single-detached, duplex, triplex, fourplex, and courtyard uses from utilizing the payment in-lieu option. Further work on the appropriate valuation of constructing a parking stall in multi-family, commercial, and institutional forms of development within Maple Ridge will occur in 2022 as a component of the comprehensive review of the Parking Bylaw.

l~·-TO: FROM: mapleridge.ca City of Maple Ridge His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer APPENDIXB MEETING DATE: October 19, 2021 FILE NO: 2021-494-RZ MEETING: Workshop SUBJECT: Parking Bylaw Amendment -Payment In-Lieu Parking Rate Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 (Parking Bylaw) contains a provision that allows a payment in-lieu option for the required number of parking stalls on a property zoned for multi-family, commercial, or institutional use and located within a 930m radius of City Hall (in the Town Centre Area). The payment in-lieu rate per off-street parking stall has not been updated since 2008 when the Town Centre Area Plan was adopted. A comprehensive review of the Parking Bylaw is scheduled to commence in 2022. However, Council recently raised a concern that the payment in-lieu rate may be too low and directed staff to bring a report forward in advance of the comprehensive Parking Bylaw review. For this reason, the proposed amendment to the payment in-lieu rate is viewed as an interim amendment, as further work on the appropriate valuation of constructing a parking stall in multi-family, commercial, and institutional forms of development within Maple Ridge will occur in 2022 as a component of the comprehensive review. Additionally, in 2022 staff will look at the area where the payment in-lieu option is permitted and the potential for application in other high-density areas of Maple Ridge, particularly the Lougheed Transit Corridor. The purpose of this report is to provide a recommendation for an interim parking in-lieu rate increase, based on preliminary research of other local municipalities. A draft amendment to the Parking Bylaw has been prepared (see Appendix A) and the proposed amendment would change the current parking rate from $12,500 per parking stall (non-residential use) and $8,000 per parking stall (residential use) to $20,000 per stall, for both residential and non-residential uses. Currently, the Parking Bylaw excludes single-detached residential and two-unit residential uses within the residential in-lieu option and it is proposed in the draft Parking Bylaw amendment to expand the in-lieu exclusion to include triplex, fourplex, and courtyard uses. Should Council direct staff to bring forward an amending bylaw to increase the payment in-lieu rate, it is suggested the new rate only apply to new and existing applications that have not received second reading at the time the amending bylaw is adopted. RECOMMENDATION That the draft Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No. 7795-2021 be forwarded to a future Committee of the Whole Meeting including revisions as directed during the October 19, 2021 Council Workshop Meeting.

1.0 BACKGROUND The City of Maple Ridge's Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 was originally adopted in 1990. The payment in-lieu parking alternative regulations were established in 1992, with an update in 2008 in conjunction with the adoption of the Town Centre Area Plan. Recently, Council directed that the Parking Bylaw, including the payment in-lieu rate, be reviewed, and updated. Council subsequently directed that staff fast track the payment in-lieu rate review due to a growing increase in the use of the payment in-lieu option in development applications. The current provisions within the Parking Bylaw permit a payment in-lieu option for the required number of parking stalls on a property zoned for multi-family, commercial, or institutional use located within a 930m radius of City Hall. The details of the regulatory requirements within the Bylaw are discussed further in Section 1.1 of this report. Through Section 525 of the Local Government Act, local governments are permitted to establish off-street parking space requirements, as well as an alternative to complying with the off-street parking requirement through an in-lieu parking stall option with a specified rate that is set in a bylaw. In Section 188 (d) of the Community Charter it is stated that any money received under Section 525 (2) [parking space requirements] of the Local Government Act, must be placed to the credit of a reserve fund for the purpose of providing: i. off-street parking spaces, or ii. transportation infrastructure that supports walking, bicycling, public transit or other alternative forms of transportation. Currently, the monies that are collected under the Maple Ridge parking stall payment in-lieu regulation are put into a restricted reserve fund called "Parking Reserve", which is specifically for supporting development and maintenance of municipal off-street parking spaces and structures. As of July 31, 2021, the Parking Reserve Fund held $923,164. 1.1 Existing Parking Payment In-Lieu Regulations The current Parking Bylaw permits the owner of a property zoned for multi-family, commercial, or institutional use and located within 930 metre radius of the boundary of the municipally owned and operated parking lot at City Hall to pay the City money in-lieu of providing the required off-street parking stalls. Properties that are zoned for a Single Detached Residential use or Two-Unit Residential use are not permitted to exercise the payment in-lieu option. The specified payment amount is: • Application Fee: $100 • Per off-street parking space for non-residential use: $12,500/per parking stall • Per off-street parking space for residential use off site: $8,000/per parking stall The Parking Bylaw states that when an owner has paid money to the City of Maple Ridge in-lieu of providing off-street parking spaces, Council must, by resolution, acknowledge receipt of such payment and the resolution must state the number of off-street parking spaces of which payment was received ..

2.0 DISCUSSION The Official Community Plan provides the policy framework for creating pedestrian-oriented, compact, and high-density neighbourhoods within the Urban Area Boundary, particularly in the Town Centre Area (which is a Regional City Centre) and the Lougheed Transit Corridor. The Town Centre Area, as a Regional City Centre, is intended to take on the greatest percentage of growth to become the highest density neighbourhood in Maple Ridge, followed by the Lougheed Transit Corridor Area, wherein an Area Plan Bylaw will soon be brought to Council and is intended to become a Frequent Transit Development Area within the Metro Vancouver 2050 Regional Growth Strategy. By concentrating growth and density in key urban areas it is more likely that transportation alternatives such as transit, cycling, and walking will become more viable and attractive. The payment in-lieu parking alternative allows for increased densification to occur where parking stall requirements cannot be easily met on-site and for the collected funds to be used to support the creation and maintenance of a municipal off-street parking facility. Payment in-lieu rates are typically determined based on a formula utilizing the cost of construction of a parking space, the area of a parking space, annual maintenance costs, and the ability to share spaces between various uses. The rate of payment in-lieu should not be so high that it discourages use of the option and possible non-development/renovation or under-development/renovation of a property. Parking in-lieu is intended to provide a viable option for development projects in urban areas that are challenged to meet the parking requirements, so that the highest permitted density with effective site design is feasible and contributes to the formation of a compact community. 2.1 Jurisdictional Scan of Payment In-Lieu Rate A scan of thirteen local government parking bylaws was conducted. The thirteen jurisdictions include municipalities in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The majority of municipalities (9 of 13) included within this jurisdictional scan permit payment in-lieu as an alternative option to providing the required off-street parking spaces. Table 1 provides an overview of each municipality's payment in-lieu rate, along with the current payment in-lieu rate in Maple Ridge. City of Abbotsford City of Burnaby City of Chilliwack City of Coquitlam City of Delta City of Langley Township of Lan ley City of Maple Ridge City of Mission Cit of Pitt Meadows City of Port Coquitlam Cit of Richmond Cit of Vancouver $25,000 per parking stall No Payment In-Lieu Alternative $20,000 per parking stall (min) $35,000 per parking stall max) $3,200 per parking stall No Pa ment In-Lieu Alternative $12,000 per parking stall $12,500 per parking stall (non-residential use) $8,000 per parking stall (residential use) No Payment In-Lieu Alternative No Payment In-Lieu Alternative $40,000 per parkin stall $25,000 per parkin stall $20,000 per parking stall $24,700 per parking stall 2021 2013 2011 2008 2008 2019 2009 2019 2018 Out of the nine municipalities that permit a payment in-lieu parking alternative, the average rate per off-street parking stall is $20,044. Doc# 2876541 Page 3 of 5
2.2 Proposed Payment In-Lieu Rate and Next Steps A draft amendment to the Parking Bylaw has been prepared (see Appendix A) and it is proposed to change the parking rate from $12,500 per parking stall (non-residential use) and $8,000 per parking stall (residential use) to $20,000 per stall, for both residential and non-residential uses (except for single-detached, duplex, triplex, fourplex, and courtyard uses, which will not be permitted to utilize the in-lieu option). The proposed rate is the average of the nine in-lieu rates within the municipal scan provided in Table 1 above and the combining of the residential and non-residential uses is aligned with how the nine municipalities that offer an in-lieu option apply their rates. This draft amendment to the Parking Bylaw ( see Appendix A) is an interim amendment, as further work on the value of the payment in-lieu rate will occur in 2022 as a component of the comprehensive review and a report will be brought to Council regarding the findings and recommendations on the: • Parking in-lieu rate; and • Extent of area(s) where the parking in-lieu rate could be applied (such as the Town Centre Area and the Lougheed Transit Corridor and possibly other areas). 3.0 STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT An update to the payment in-lieu parking alternative provisions to become a better utilized alternative aligns with the Growth pillar of the 2019-2022 City of Maple Ridge Strategic Plan. 4.0 CONCLUSION The City of Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-1990 (Parking Bylaw) currently permits a payment in-lieu option to property owners within a 930m. radius of City Hall (within the Town Centre), as an alternative to providing the required number of vehicle parking spaces on site. The rate per off-street parking stall has not been updated since 2008, when the Town Centre Area Plan was adopted. The payment in-lieu parking alternative allows for increased densification to occur where all parking stall requirements cannot be easily met on-site and for the collected funds to be used to support municipal off-street parking. Should Council direct staff to bring forward an amending bylaw to increase the payment in-lieu rate, it is suggested the new rate only apply to new and existing applications that have not received second reading at the time of the amending bylaw is adopted. Doc# 2876541 Page 4 of 5
A draft amendment to the Parking Bylaw has been prepared (see Appendix A) and the amendment proposes to change the parking rate from $12,500 per parking stall (non-residential use) and $8,000 per parking stall (residential use) to $20,000 per stall, for both residential and non-residential uses. The draft amendment to the Parking Bylaw (Appendix A) is viewed as an interim amendment, as further work on the value of the payment in-lieu rate will occur in 2022 as a component of the comprehensive review.

TO: FROM: His Worship Mayor Michael Morden and Members of Council Chief Administrative Officer --_;;---::::::?:--= CITY OF MAPLE RIDGE MEETING DATE: FILE NO: MEETING: November 2, 2021 01-0640-30-2021 cow SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Cemetery Amending Bylaw No. 7797-2021 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As a result of the Maple Ridge Cemetery expansion in 2019, the Cemetery Bylaw was amended to accommodate service enhancements including new memorialization offerings of upright monuments and 'pillow top' markers and the associated fees. Since that time, feedback received has indicated that the monument sizes accommodated within the Bylaw do not capture the full range of Lower Mainland supplier offerings. As a result, a housekeeping amendment to the Cemetery Bylaw is recommended to provide both the ability to more readily adjust to changes of industry monument standard size offerings and to clarify the circumstances where a single or double monument is permitted and when names are permitted on the reverse side of a monument. RECOMMENDATION: That Cemetery Amending Bylaw No. 7797-2021 be given first, second and third readings. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The Maple Ridge Cemetery expansion, completed in 2019, provides additional space for full adult burials, as well as additional interment and memorialization options. These new memorialization offerings include upright monuments and 'pillow top' markers, along with a scattering garden for cremated remains, and designated plots for green burials. On February 4, 2020, Council adopted the Cemetery Bylaw No. 7612-2020 which incorporated the expanded offerings and updated fees. Feedback has been received by clients that some standard 'pillow top' marker sizes available through vendors are not permitted by the current Cemetery Bylaw. To reflect the full range of standard sizing, the Cemetery Bylaw requires amendments to include the additional sizing 2877662 Page 1 of 3 1171 l
parameters. Staff recommend the removal of the dimensional size requirements from the Bylaw for both upright monuments and 'pillow top' markers. Including memorial size guidelines in a separate document would accommodate a full range of offerings and provide flexibility to adjust to future offerings without the need for further Bylaw amendments. Staff also recommend at this time that the Bylaw language for grave memorialization include clarifications of the circumstances where one double or single monument or pillow top marker is permitted and also expands the number of persons memorialized on each monument to include the reverse side where four graves are purchased in a square. b) Desired Outcome: That the Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaw be updated to remove the monument and 'pillow top' marker sizes to ensure the full range of industry offerings can be accommodated. c) Strategic Alignment: The Bylaw amendment aligns with the Maple Ridge Cemetery Master Plan (2008) and meets the recommendations to allow monuments and markers in designated areas of the site. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Maple Ridge Cemetery is very important to many of our citizens, particularly to long term residents who intend to be interred in a cemetery in the community where they have spent most of their lives. Residents will have additional sizing options for memorialization that reflects the full range of industry standard offerings. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: There are no financial implications to the proposed Bylaw amendment. f) Policy Implications: The proposed amendments to accommodate a wider variety of monument and marker sizes remain consistent with the provincial regulations that govern cemetery operations. g) Alternatives: The Maple Ridge Cemetery Bylaw could remain unchanged in respect to the permitted standard sizes, although this is not recommended as the ability to accommodate additional 'pillow top' marker sizes to align with industry offerings is desired by residents wishing to obtain best value for memorialization. 2877662 Page2 of 3
----- I CONCLUSION: The new memorialization offerings accommodated in the updated Cemetery Bylaw in 2020 as a result of the Maple Ridge Cemetery expansion have been a welcome addition for Cemetery clients. The proposed Cemetery Bylaw amendment accommodates the full standard range of monument sizing offered by the lower mainland monument industry, clarifies monument sizes for double graves and also expands the number of persons memorialized where four graves are purchased in a square.
