The development site is influenced by two tributaries of Kanaka Creek named KA6 and KA4. The development site slopes from the southeast to the northwest with a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees. As shown in the subdivision sketch plan attached as Appendix C, the proposal consists of the following: 1. 102 RM-1-zoned townhouse units; 2. 37 single-family RS-1B-zoned lots utilizing the Albion Area Density Bonus to permit the subdivision of lots between the 371 sqm and 557 sqm in area, as per the R-1 (Single Detached (Low Density) Urban Residential) zoning provisions; 3. a remnant lot that will be zoned RS-2 (Single Detached Suburban Residential), as it lies outside of the Urban Area Boundary; 4. a conservation/park site to remain under the existing RS-3 (Single Detached Rural Residential) Zone; and 5. the Northern Neighborhood Park. c) Variance Analysis: Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 7600-2019 and Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993 establish general minimum and maximum regulations for single family developments. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. The requested variances and rationale for support are described below: 1. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 7600-2019, Part 6 Section 601.4 as applicable to RS-1B- zoned properties with a density bonus under Section 402.8 to reduce the following: 2022-229-VP a. the Lot Width of: i. Lot 9 from 12 metres to 11 metres; ii. Lot 10 from 12 metres to 11 metres; iii. Lot 14 from 12 metres to 11.72 metres; iv. Lot 15 from 12 metres to 11.46 metres; v. Lot 16 from 12 metres to 11.46 metres; and vi. Lot 17 from 13.5 metres to 13.14 metres, to support the establishment of deep lots, while conserving ecologically sensitive lands associated with the KA4 Creek to the north and accommodating the road dedications Page 4 of 7 2022-229-VP required for 110 Avenue to south in alignment with the following Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 7060-2014 ("0CP") Policies: 10-9, which states that The siting of development... should avoid impacts to watercourses, reduce the risk of erosion in the area, minimize visual disruption to the neighbourhood and protect the visual character of the landscape (Chapter 10, Page 8); 10-10, which states that Natural vegetation should be retained where possible to enhance the character of the area. Significant treed slopes or natural vegetation will need to be retained in order to minimize disruption to watercourses and to minimize erosion (Chapter 10, Page 8); 10-21, which states that Development in the North East Albion Area is to be conducted in such a manner as to mitigate impact on the environment by increasing connections for wildlife, preserving existing hydrological processes, protecting fish and fish habitat, [and] minimizing the potential for stream erosion, preventing surface flooding, and ensuring major storm conveyance systems are capable of conveying significant flows and minimize damage to life and properties under extreme storm conditions (Chapter 10, Page 10); and 10-23, which states that For sites identified on North East Albion Schedule 2, additional floorspace or a reduction in permissible lot size may be supported if environmentally sensitive areas are protected and permanently preserved beyond what is required through the land dedication process (Chapter 10, Page 11); and 10-33, which establishes a proposed road network, including the section of 110 Avenue that is to be dedicated as a part of this development (See Chapter 10, Pages 11 and 26); and b. the Lot Depth of: i. Lot 6 from 24 metres to 23.07 metres; ii. Lot 21 from 24 metres to 23.86 metres; and iii. Lot 22 from 24 metres to 23.72 metres, to accommodate challenging setback geometry associated with conserving ecologically sensitive lands associated with the KA4 creek tributary as park and accommodating the road dedications in alignment with 0CP Policies 10-9, 10-10, 10- 21 and 10-23, as outlined above; c. the Rear Yard Setback of: i. Lot 21 from 6 metres to 4.48 metres, and Lot 22 from 6 metres to 2.97 metres, in order to accommodate the proposed cul-de-sac and associated impacts to the Front Lot Line geometry (i.e., the south sides) of proposed Lots 21 and 22, while conserving ecologically sensitive lands associated with the KA4 creek tributary in alignment with 0CP Policies 10-9, 10-10, 10-21 and 10-23, as outlined above; and Page 5 of 7 ii. the Rear Yard Setback of Lot 23 from 6 metres to 4.28 metres to accommodate trail alignment along the Rear Lot Line, in connection with the development of a network of trails and multi-use pathways as per the following 0CP Policies: 10-25, which states that: Maple Ridge will connect the North of 112 Avenue precinct, including the trailhead to Kanaka Creek Regional Park, to the co-located school and park site in the south via a 'Spine Trail', that will serve as an important stormwater feature and protect and celebrate the water resources of the area (Chapter 10, Page 11-12); and 10-43, which states that: The North East Albion Area Plan sets out a network of trails and multi-use pathways to link the residential areas with the community amenities. These trails and pathways will act as a greenway and buffer to the sensitive environmental areas while creating an attractive public realm for residents (Chapter 10, Page 12). 2. A variance to Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule D - Design Criteria Manual, Section 3. 7 to reduce the size of the corner truncations required for Lots 17 and 34 from 5 metres by 5 metres (5m x 5m) to 3 metres by 3 metres (3m x 3m). This will slightly reduce the associated road dedications required. The developer's civil engineer has demonstrated that the required services can be accommodated in a reduced truncation and such a reduction would support the development of 37 single-family homes. 3. A variance to Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800-1993, Schedule A - Services and Utilities to waive the requirement to convert overhead utilities on 112 Avenue to underground wiring, in accordance with Council Policy 9.05 -Conversion of Existing Overhead Utility Wiring to Underground Wiring, which specifies that: The requirement to provide underground wiring on a highway right-of-way serviced by existing overhead utility systems to be waived on the condition that the overhead utility fronting the development is classified as BC Hydro 3 Phase, and the developer will service the development with underground dips off the overhead line and deposit with the City sufficient funds to achieve the required undergrounding in the future prior to subdivision approval. 4. A variance to allow a double street frontage exemption under Section 512(2) of the Local Government Act and Section IV.2 of Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 4800- 1993 for proposed Lot 37. A No-Build Restrictive Covenant on Lot 37 is to be established effective until the future subdivision of Lot 37, in order to promote more efficient use of available residential land within the City, by recognizing the potential of Lot 37 to consolidate with the property to its east and be further subdivided into two parcels in alignment with applicable 0CP policies. 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 2022-229-VP Page 6 of 7 CONCLUSION: The proposed variances outlined in Section C(1) of this report are supported by the Planning Department, because they support the development of 37 single-family homes in accordance with the density permitted under the Albion Area Plan, while accommodation of site constraints including KA4 creek tributary, abutting roads and cul-de-sacs, and trail alignment in following with OCP Policies 10-9, 10-10, 10-21, 10-25, 10-23 and 10-43 as outlined in Section C of this Report. Similarly, the proposed variance outlined in Section C(2) of this report is supported by the Planning and Engineering Departments, because the developer's civil engineer has demonstrated that the required services can be accommodated in a reduced truncation and such a reduction would support the development of 37 single-family homes. This proposed variance is supported by the Director of Engineering in alignment with Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No. 4800- 1993, Schedule D -Design Criteria Manual Section 3.1. The proposed variance outlined in Section C(3) of this report is supported by the Planning and Engineering Departments, because it is in compliance with Council Policy 9.05. The proposed variance outlined in Section C(4) of this report is supported by the Planning Departments, because permitting the establishment of Lot 37 as a parcel with double street frontage with a No-Build Restrictive Covenant on its title promotes more efficient use of available residential land within the City, by recognizing the potential of Lot 37 to consolidate with the property to its east and be further subdivided into two parcels in alignment with applicable OCP policies.

The requested variance(s) is to: • To reduce the lot widths on proposed Lots 1-3, 9-16 and 18 from 11 metres to a minimum of 10.5 metres, and proposed Lots 19 -20 from 11 metres to a minimum of 9.5 metres. • To reduce lot depth on irregularly shaped proposed Lot 18 from 27.0 metres to 3.9 metres. Council considered rezoning application 2021-131 -RZ and granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7725-202 7 on April 13, 2021. Council granted first and second reading for Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No. 7839-2022 on April 12, 2022, and second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7725-202 7 on April 12, 2022. This application was presented at Public Hearing on May 17, 2022, and Council granted third reading on May 24, 2022. Council will be considering final reading for associated rezoning application 2021-131-RZ on April 23, 2024. It is recommended that Development Variance Permit 2021-131-VP be approved. RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal 2021-131-VP respecting property located at 23103 136 Avenue. 2021-131-VP Page 1 of 5 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Within Urban Area Boundary: Area Plan: OCP Major Corridor: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Surrounding Uses: North: South: East West Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing Requirement: 2021-131-VP Gary Lycan Lot 1 Section 32 Township 12 NWD Plan EPP 70286 Except Plan EPP75644 Civic and Conservation Medium Density Residential Yes Silver Valley No A-2 (Upland Agricultural) R-2 (Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential) Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Park A-2 Upland Agricultural Civic and Conservation Rural Residential Zone: Designation: RS-3 Single Detached Rural Residential Low I Medium Density Residential Use: Zone: Designation: Use: Rural Residential A-2 Upland Agricultural Civic and Conservation Urban Residential Zone: R-2 [Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential] Designation: Medium Density Residential Vacant Urban Residential 1.152 ha (2.85 acres) Urban Standard Page 2 of 5 Flood Plain: Fraser Sewer Area: b) Project Description: No Yes This development proposal is for a 20 -lot subdivision within the Silver Valley Area under R-2 Single Detached (Medium Density) Urban Residential zone, with road dedication connecting through 136th Avenue and 230A Street. This is Phase 2 of a larger development completed under application RZ/087 /08. The proposed lot sizes and layout reflect this previous application, which is located on the west side of 230A Street. In 2012, the School District made a final decision not to acquire this site for school development, thereby allowing this portion of the Phase 2 site to be developed for single- family residential lots with the subject current OCP and rezoning amendment bylaws. It should be noted that following the School District decision, the City of Maple Ridge acquired the north end of the Phase 2 site to create the Silver Valley Gathering Place. The acquisition of this community space provided a civic focus, and helped ensure that the original objectives of the Silver Valley Area Plan were met. 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. Lot Width Variance Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 7600-2079, Part 6, Section 602.4 1 b.(ii): For a lot without lane access, to reduce the lot widths on proposed Lots 1-3, 9-16 and 18 from 11 metres to a minimum of 10.5 metres, and proposed Lots 19 and 20 from 11 metres to a minimum of 9.5 metres. Proposed Lots 19 and 20 are wedge shaped, and significantly wider at the rear property line. Lot width is calculated at the front building setback, which in the R-2 Zone is 3.0 metres from the front lot line. For this reason, proposed Lots 19 and 20 have calculated lot widths of 9.63 and 10.01 metres respectively, but the rear property line for each of them is over 15 metres. The applicant has demonstrated that all proposed lots will have an acceptable building footprint, and all proposed lots are larger than the minimum parcel size of 315 square metres in the R-2 Zone. The reduced widths of the other lots subject to the variance are also consistent with the adjacent Phase 1 development under application RZ/087 /08. Approximately 25% of the R-2 Zoned lots under application RZ/087 /08 have lot widths of less than 11 .0 meters. 2021-131-VP Page 3 of 5 The goal of neighbourhood stability is a priority under the Maple Ridge Official Community Plan. OCP policy 3-2 states: Neighbourhoods are considered to be physically stable areas. New development within neighbourhoods will be consistent with this concept and will respect and reinforce the existing physical characteristics of buildings, streetscapes and open space patterns. The streetscapes and open space patterns have been enhanced by extensive park acquisition, offering its residents recreational opportunities in addition to a stable pattern of residential development. Lot Depth Variance Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No 7600-2079, Part 6, Section 602.4 1 c)ii For a lot without lane access, to reduce lot depth on irregularly shaped proposed Lot 18 from 27.0 metres to 3.9 metres. Proposed Lot 18 includes an irregularly shaped, remnant area that will eventually be consolidated with the parcel to its east. The remnant will eventually be subdivided off and consolidated with the adjacent parcel to its east, thereby improving its development potential. A no-build covenant has been registered on this portion to retain its development potential. An explanation of how lot depth is calculated in the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw is provided on page 2 of Appendix C. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: In accordance with the Development Procedures Bylaw No. 5879-7999, notice of Council consideration of a resolution to issue a Development Variance Permit was mailed to all owners or tenants in occupation of all parcels, any parts of which are adjacent to the property that is subject to the permit. CONCLUSION: The proposed variance for lot width is supported because of its consistency with the neighbourhood context under previous application RZ/087 /08. Overall, this proposal completes and enhances the established neighbourhood pattern with park development, meeting many of the goals of the Silver Valley Area Plan. 2021-131-VP Page 4 of 5 It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit 2021-131-DVP.

The property is a rectangular, relatively flat lot. The existing single-family dwelling is required to be removed as a requirement of the rezoning approval. The property has 40 trees, most of them around the periphery, particularly, the northern portion of the lot. The majority of these trees will remain as part of the development. (see Appendices A and B). The subject property is designated Urban Residential and the proposed development is in compliance with the Official Community Plan (see Appendix C). The applicant proposes to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Detached Residential) to R-4 (Single Detached (Infill) Urban Residential) (see Appendix D) to permit the future subdivision of two lots (see Appendix E). The subject site is bounded by single-family residential properties. The proposed lots will have access from Glenhurst Street. The final subdivision layout must be approved by the Approving Officer. 3. Planning Analysis: i) Official Community Plan: The Official Community Plan (OCP) designates the subject property as Urban Residential - Neighbourhood Residential, and development of the property is subject to the Neighbourhood Residential Infill Policies 3-19 to 3-21 of the OCP. These policies require that development be compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood, with particular attention given to site design, 2023-208-RZ Page 3 of 6 setbacks, and lot configuration with the existing pattern of development in the area. Under this designation, and subject to Policy 3-19 (1)(a)ii, a rezoning from RS-1 to R-4 is supportable. ii) Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the property located at 12035 Glenhurst Street from RS-1 to R-4 (see Appendix D) to permit the subdivision of two lots (see Appendix E). The minimum lot area for the proposed R-4 zone is 450.0 m2 (4,844 sq. ft.). Proposed Lot A will be 509.67 m2 (5,486 sq. ft.) in size and proposed Lot B will 624.46 m2 (6,721 sq. ft.) in size. The minimum lot width for the proposed R-4 zone is 12.0 m (39 ft.) and the minimum lot depth is 24.0 m (79 ft). Both lots meet the minimum requirements for the R-4 zone. iii) Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: According to the Maple Ridge Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No. 4350-7990, two parking spaces per dwelling unit are required. The applicant is providing the required parking spaces in the garages. One parking space per dwelling unit is required to be roughed-in and capable of providing level 2 charging for electric vehicles, which is being provided by the applicant. The applicant is also providing each dwelling unit with a bicycle rack for storage in the garages. iv) Proposed Variances: A Development Variance Permit application has been received for this project and involves the following relaxations: Maple Ridge Subdivision & Development Servicing of Land Bvlaw No. 4800-7993 7. To relax the requirement for converting the overheard utility lines along Glenhurst Street to underground. City staff is in support of this variance and will take cash in lieu of undergrounding the utility lines. The requested variance will be the subject of a future Council report. v) Development Permits: A development permit is not required, given that the proposed development is for two single- family residential lots. 2023-208-RZ Page 4 of 6 vi) Advisory Design Panel: A Development Permit is not required; therefore, this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. vii) Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance with the OCP and proposes less than five dwelling units, as per Council Policy 6.20. viii) Parkland Requirement: As there are less than three lots being created, the applicant will not be subject to the park dedication requirements of Section 510 of the Local Government Act prior to subdivision approval. 4. Environmental Implications: An arborist report has been provided in accordance with the Tree Protection and Management Bylaw No. 7733-2075. A tree permit will be required for the removal, protection and/or compensation of trees. All Engineering servicing and building design shall be coordinated with the approved tree retention/protection, landscaping, and stormwater management plan. 5. Interdepartmental Implications: i) Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has indicated that the following servicing upgrades will be required through the Rezoning Servicing Agreement: • Road dedication as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-7 993. • Utility servicing as required to meet the design criteria of the Subdivision and Development Bylaw No. 4800-7 993. • Frontage upgrades to the applicable road standard or consider cash in lieu due to the mid-block location. 6. School District No. 42 Comments: Pursuant to Section 476 of the Local Government Act, consultation with School District No. 42 is required. A referral was sent to School District No. 42 and they provided a response noting the catchment schools and their capacities, on October 27, 2023 which is attached to this report as Appendix F. 2023-208-RZ Page 5 of 6 CONCLUSION: It is recommended that second reading be given to Zone Amending Bylaw No. 7958-2023, and that application 2023-208-RZ be forwarded to Public Hearing.

The Recreation Feasibility Study is a multi-faceted analysis that encompasses a service level assessment, extensive community engagement along with site specific assessments to support the conceptual design and high-level costing for a facility at Hammond Community Park. The first phase of public engagement aimed to provide multiple opportunities for residents, user groups and stakeholders to share input, ideas and challenges related to current and future recreation facility needs that will guide the conceptual development of future program spaces and activities. Public engagement was conducted from January 23 through to February 23, 2024, and key engagement activities included four open houses, a general public survey, user group and community stakeholder surveys, and several focus group sessions. The What We Heard summary report (Attachment A) and presentation provides Council with an overview of the engagement results and key findings. Overall, there was notable community support and excitement for a new facility and for recreation amenities to keep pace with the growth of the city. Participants indicated the desire for amenities such as aquatics facilities with a focus on leisure and therapy, increased arena space, and increased fitness and general recreation spaces such as walking tracks, climbing walls, children's play spaces and youth focussed spaces. This first round of engagement results along with the site assessments and service demand analysis will inform the next phase of work to develop the building programs models and facility concept design. RECOMMENDATION: For information only. DISCUSSION: a)Background Context: The research and feasibility analysis for a new aquatics facility is led by the project team of hcma architecture + design. The feasibility scope of work includes two phases of community engagement with the second phase anticipated to be conducted in June 2024, a service level assessment of current and future long-term recreation needs of the community, and site analysis including geotechnical, archeological and traffic assessments. This information will inform the development of the scale and type of facility and create 3-4 design concepts supplemented with a cost analysis.

The survey asked participants to provide information on current and future anticipated use of facilities and included an open comment space for additional feedback. Additional engagement opportunities were provided through open houses, stakeholder meetings, user group and community group targeted surveys, and virtual stakeholder sessions. There were over 2500 community touchpoints providing quantitative and qualitative information. The Engagement Summary lnfographic (Attachment B) provides a snapshot of the engagement participation. The accompanying presentation provides a fulsome overview of the engagement outcomes with the main themes summarized as follows: • Survey respondents shared their preference for an aquatics facility that supports leisure and recreation, swim lessons, and rehabilitation and therapy needs. Their top requested amenities are hot tubs, lazy rivers, and waterslides • Survey respondents shared their preference for an arena facility that has an increase in availability for training, competition, and community programs. They also noted a preference for increased access to drop-in and leisure skate, a walking track and improved areas such as changerooms and food services. b) Desired Outcome: For the public engagement results to provide reliable data to inform the facility and site requirements and the conceptual design options within the future recreation facility. c) Strategic Alignment: The recreation feasibility study aligns with Council's Strategic Plan (2023-2026) priorities as follows: • Engaged, Healthy Community o Provide a diversity of inclusive and accessible recreation opportunities. o Build and celebrate community pride, strengthening community connections to foster a sense of belonging. o Improve community engagement with the City. • Liveable Community Doc #3769543 o Develop infrastructure that positions the City to provide accessible and sustainable services while accommodating growth. Page 2 of 3 • The Parks. Recreation and Culture Master Plan (2023) includes the following: o Undertake a feasibility analysis for a new aquatics facility to serve the community. o Expand the supply of arenas in the city by 2 sheets, with 1 sheet developed in the near term in order to meet ice and dry floor needs o Include walking and running tracks, indoor children's play space in a new facility. o Include fitness spaces and amenities in future arena and aquatics facility development. o Ensure that community-wide needs for meeting spaces, program rooms, social gathering space, and office space are considered as part of future arenas and aquatic facility planning. o Review the infrastructure upgrade planned for the Hammond Community Centre site. d) Citizen/Customer Implications: Residents will have a further opportunity to share feedback during the second phase of community engagement on the proposed design concept options that are a result of the initial engagement, completed technical studies, program demand analysis and site analysis. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: The Feasibility Study is funded through the Capital budget in alignment with the 2024 Bus iness Planning Framework. The final recreation feasibility study results are anticipated to be presented to Council in the fall 2024. CONCLUSION: The phase 1 community engagement process resulted in substantial feedback from residents, community and user groups, and other interested parties that together will inform the building program models and design phases of the feasibility analysis. There were areas of significant support and areas of concern, and these results will be embedded into the second phase of engagement and in the final feasibility report.

The Study focuses on the proposed development of a new multi-use recreational facility at Hammond Community Park. The goal of the engagement process was to: • gather insights on the communit/s current use of recreation facilities, as well as any challenge; and • obtain information on preferences and priorities for future program spaces and activities in the proposed recreation facility. The robust engagement process adhered to the "consult" level of the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) and included four key activities: 1. Public Survey -focused on understanding the community's current recreation use patterns and identifying how the City can improve recreation opportunities in the future. The public survey garnered 2,358 responses. 2. Recreation and Community Organization User Group Surveys -focused on understanding how the organizations interact with recreation facilities and identifying their service challenges related to infrastructure. These surveys garnered 183 responses. 3. Open Houses -a series of open houses were held at key locations, including Maple Ridge Public Library, Maple Ridge Leisure Centre, Planet Ice Arena, and a neighbours-only open house at Hammond Community Centre. The intent of the open houses was to increase Study awareness, capture sentiments related to current and future recreation use patterns and to identify project related concerns. The open houses drew hundreds of participants and resulted in over 600 captured sentiments. 4. Stakeholder Interview Sessions -17 community, rental-user group, and city department stakeholder sessions were held to understand program, service, and operational challenges and opportunities related to recreation infrastructure within the City. Key engagement outcomes are summarized below and organized into four categories: aquatics, arenas, general recreation and other. Aquatics According to public survey respondents: The current most popular aquatic activities are drop-in swimming (67% reporting regular participation), swim lessons (40% reporting regular participation) and aquatic amenity use (sauna, steam room and hot tub, 34% reporting regular participation). The most important activities to consider for a future aquatic facility, as reported by the community, are: 4 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary 1. leisure and recreation activities 2. swim lessons, and 3. rehabilitation activities. The least important aquatic activity noted by respondents was competitive sport and training. 25% of respondents identified that a new recreation facility should consider the inclusion of an outdoor aquatic amenity. The community would like to see new aquatic infrastructure that includes features such as: hot tubs (69% of respondents) lazy rivers (62% of respondents), and waterslides (57% of respondents). This feedback highlights the community's desire for a future aquatic facility that focuses on providing spaces to accommodate leisure and recreation, skill development and rehabilitation and therapy activities. It underscores the importance of prioritizing a leisure-oriented aquatic facility over a competitive sport-oriented facility. Arenas According to public survey respondents: , The current most popular arena activities are public skating (51% reporting regular participation), ice hockey (32% reporting regular participation) and skating lessons (23% reporting regular participation). The most prominent challenge experienced by the community today is related to the insufficient supply of prime-time ice and dry floor access. Requests for increased access to ice was the third most prominent theme (230 responses) identified in the survey comment section. The most important activities to consider for a future arena facility, as reported by the community are: 1. skill development 2. competitive sports 3. community programming (drop-in and leisure programs). The community would like to see new arena infrastructure include an indoor walking track (surrounding the arena) and improved arena support areas (fitness spaces, changerooms, spectator seating, food options etc). This feedback suggests that community members are not only in need of an increased supply of ice and dry floor facilities but also improvements and enhancements to arena amenities that support leisure and recreational uses. 5 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary General Recreation In addition to aquatic and arena needs and preferences identified through the public survey, several other perspectives and desires regarding future recreational facilities were identified: There's a perceived shortage of City-operated fitness and training areas (indoor cardio and weightlifting). 31% of respondents indicated a new facility should include a fitness area. The community wou ld like to see a new facility include indoor wa lking tracks (30% of respondents), a climbing wal l (18% of respondents), children's play spaces (17% of respondents) and youth focused spaces (17% of respondents). Other Themes Although the purpose of the engagement was to understand priorities for future spaces and activities and not to ask for input on facility location, the results of the open-ended question provided some notable findings on this theme. Of the 2,358 survey respondents, 257 (10. 9%) expressed concern about the loss of baseball diamonds as a result of site development, and 172 (7.3%) expressed direct opposition to the proposed location. Similarly, the public survey and engagement process did not specifically ask whether there was support for a new recreation centre; however, a significant number of survey respondents (698, which accounts for 30% of all survey respondents) expressed their support and enthusiasm for a new recreation facility in Maple Ridge. While the information presented above primarily originated from the public survey data, similar themes were observed in the open houses and stakeholder engagement sessions. The information collected in these more qualitative engagement activities paralleled the perspective that there is an acute shortage of aquatic, arena, and recreational amenities in the City of Maple Ridge. A detailed summary of each engagement activity and the key themes can be found within the Appendix. How will this information be used in the next phase? The outcomes of this engagement will directly inform the Service Demand Analysis which projects the current and long-term community recreation needs (program, service and infrastructure). The Service Demand Analysis is slated to be completed in April 2024. The findings of this Study will provide facility program recommendations that will then be used in the concept design (site test-fits) and project costing that are projected to take place between April-May 2024. In June 2024, the second stage of the public engagement process will take place, that will report out on the findings of this engagement and how it has informed the feasibility Study. It will be used to verify what we have heard and obtain further feedback. ~ (c Iii 6 2358 total responses Maple Ridge residents 3 Surveys fi>'ublic survey User .greure>. survey C@mm1,mity @1'€>blfa $Lir.vey 2541 responses Proposed Site Other: 4.1% 4 Open Houses 3 Publ ic 1 HeimmoRd !nvite-@nly 649 comments V4R lo.3% Prefer not to disclose: 3.4% :)• •*• ••• -total 7 aquatics , 1 arena 13 other user user user groups groups groups 20 11 not-for-profit 2 government assoc1at1ons agencies total 1 community 3 responses assoc1at1ons other from Stakeholder Sessions 6 city-e1ffiliate0 gro ups 11 e0mmuRity gF@l:.lps 17 total sessions lDl ~· 6 sessions with 11 sessions _with city staff and. community committees of council·, user groups •• {30%} • • (10 9%} •• {73%} 698 257 172 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Project Context and Goals The City of Maple Ridge (the City) has undertaken recent planning initiatives to understand the arts, culture and recreation needs and wants of the growing community. In the 2023 Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan, the City identified a pressing need for new aquatic and arena facilities, ranking these among the top 5 recreation capital investment priorities. In response to these investment priorities, the City identified the need to complete a Recreation Feasibility Study which aims to: • Assess the current state of recreation within the City with a focus on aquatic and arena services and infrastructure. • Estimate the future demand of recreation with a focus on aquatic and arena services and infrastructure. • Quantify the facility and site requirements to meet future demands. • Assess the suitability of a preferred site location to support a new recreation centre. • Explore site and facility conceptual design options at the preferred site location. • Recommend the most beneficial path forward for the City. City staff completed a site identification analysis and assessed several City-owned sites and privately- owned properties, ranked them against a set of selection criteria including overall site size, approximate land costs, potential servicing cost impacts proximity to areas of increasing population, and access to transit and a major transportation route. Hammond Community Park ranked the highest through the assessment and has therefore been put forth as the preferred site for assessment within the Recreation Feasibility Study. 1.2 Project Approach and Schedule hcma architecture and planning (hcma) in partnership with contracted specialty consultants has been contracted to complete the Feasibility Study. The approach to complete the Study has been organized into six key stages of work, detailed in Figure 1 below. Each stage is designed to build sequentially on the previous stage and inform the stage that comes after it. 20:24 JAN FE B MAR WtAl(t; HERE APR MAY JU N JU L AUG '.~0?4 FA LL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT -PHASE 1 EXISTING SITE & SERVICE DEMAND ANALYSIS FACILITY PROGRAM CONCEPT DESIGN - TEST SITE LAYOUT COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT - PHASE 2 FEASIBILITY STUDY online inteviews open geotech + council transportation cost survey houses archaeology meeting analysis estimate 9 l.

Community Engagement - Phase 2 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary This stage of work focuses on engagement with community, recreation and community organization user groups, and City staff to collect information and perspectives related to the current and future recreational programs, services and recreational needs of Maple Ridge. A variety of engagement was completed including, interviews, surveys, open houses and focus group sessions. A detailed overview and assessment of the engagement completed is provided within this report, Phase l Engagement Summary. This stage of work was led by Cornerstone Planning Group (Cornerstone). This stage of work includes several site and service demand assessments. • Site geotechnical assessment -led by GeoPacific • Site archaeological Study -led by Katzie Development Limited Partnership. • Site transportation and parking analysis -led by Binnie Civil Engineering Consultants. • Topographical Survey -led by Bennett Land Surveying • Current state recreation service assessment -led by Cornerstone. • Future recreation demand analysis -led by Cornerstone. The outcome of this stage of work includes a detailed assessment of the proposed site and a summary of the current and future demand of recreation activities within the City. Using the outcomes of the future recreation demand analysis, a facility program is produced. The program provides an architectural roadmap for the types and sizes of spaces that are required in a new recreation centre to meet the projected demand of the community. The program will also identify the functional relationship between spaces and/or zones of use. Dependent on the outcomes of the demand analysis there may be the need to develop multiple facility programs. The concept design stage of work focuses on the development of possible facility and site layout scenarios. Concepts will be prepared at a building massing level and using the findings from the site assessments and facility program. This stage of work will include the preparation of Class D capital cost estimates. Phase 2 of engagement focuses on presenting back to the community and project stakeholders the key outcomes of the existing site and service demand analysis, facility program and concept design work. 10 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary Engagement activities will include a public survey, open houses and focus group interview sessions. Following a similar approach to the Phase 1 engagement, the project team will prepare a Phase 2 Engagement Summary. 6. Reporting Final reporting will see the culmination of all previous project work into a single document, the Feasibility Study. The project commenced in December 2023 and is anticipated to wrap up in the fall of 2024. This report offers a summary of the Phase 1 Community Engagement, which marks the initial stage of the Study Further details on this process are provided below. 1.3 Community Engagement -Phase 1 Approach The initiatives within the engagement plan were intended to provide residents with information and resources to participate in numerous engagement activities. These included survey and open house household post card distribution, newspaper ads, facility poster campaign, pop up banner displays, digital TV screen promotion at civic facilities, tent card and sign distribution to local businesses and transit shelter ads . In additional digital outreach included social media all-platform posts, three Mayor's videos, Facebook events and digital paid ads in the local newspaper. Several engagement activities have been completed as part of Phase 1 engagement. A multi-faceted approach has been undertaken to promote broad public and stakeholder engagement.

The subseq uent section outlines the organization of the report: Main Body: • Community Engagement Outcom es: Identifies predominant themes arising from diverse community engagement initiatives, encompassing public surveys, recreation user group su rveys and interviews, community organ ization user group surveys and interviews, as well as open houses and stakeholder interviews with recreation-affiliated user groups. • Conclusion: A summary of overarching themes derived from all engagement activities conducted in Phase 1. 12 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary 2 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OUTCOMES Considerable efforts have been made to collect community feedback using several engagement tools and activities. This section summarizes the key themes and findings from the engagement process, which includes a blend of both quantitative and qualitative information. It aims to provide details regarding the community's overall support for the recreation facility, prominent concerns raised by the community, and what the community would like to see in a new recreation facility. 2 .1 Future Aquatic Facility Preferences Most Popular Activity, as selected by survey respondents: 1. Drop In Swim -67% of respondents reported regular participation 2. Swim Lessons -40% of respondents reported regular participation 3. Sauna, steam room and hot tub -34% of respondents reported regular participation Most Important Activities, as ranked by survey respondents: 1. Leisure and recreation swims 2. Skill development {swim lessons) 3. Rehabilitation and therapy Top Requested Amenities, as selected by survey respondents: 1. Hot tubs -69% of respondents requested increased access to hot tubs 2. Lazy rivers -62% of respondents requested increased access to lazy rivers 3. Waterslides-57% of respondents requested increased access to waterslides 4. 25% of respondents identified that a new recreation facility should consider the inclusion of an outdoor aquatic'amenity. Across all methods of engagement, including stakeholder interviews, survey data, and open houses, we heard that community members feel that the demand for aquatic facilities and programming in Maple Ridge surpasses the current supply. Community members also expressed concern about the shortage of City-led aquatic programming. 13 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary Specifically, community members noted long waitlists for swim lessons and inadequate availability of drop-in swimming sessions. The desire for enhanced access to both indoor and outdoor aquatic amenities, coupled with a call for more leisure-oriented features, was a recurring theme among community feedback. Respondents highlighted hot tubs, lazy rivers, and water slides as the three most sought after aquatic amenities. This reinforces the community's desire for leisure and recreation-focused facilities. Results from the survey indicate that drop-in swimming was the most popular aquatic facility activity, with more than two-thirds of respondents reporting regular participation. Swim lessons and use of sauna, steam room, and hot tubs were reported as the second and third most popular aquatic activities with 40% and 34% of respondents reporting regular participation respectively. Survey respondents were also asked to rank a list of aquatic activities in order of importance, with 1 being the most important and 6 being the least important. Survey respondents ranked the activities as follows: 1. Leisure and recreational swimming 2. Skill development 3. Rehabilitation and therapy 4. Personal fitness 5. Socializing 6. Competitive sport/training These results can be visualized as follows: Personal Fitness Socializing Leisure and Recreational Swimming Competitive Sport/Training Skill Development Rehabilitation +Therapy 14 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary These results from the survey are consistent with the opinions expressed during interviews and open houses with stakeholders. It confirms that the community prefers aquatic facilities that provide leisure activities, recreation, and opportunities for skill development. This emphasizes the importance of including leisure-oriented amenities in a future facility. Although some stakeholders suggested having a competition-oriented pool, there wasn't a strong demand for a SO-meter pool. In fact, competitive sport/training was ranked as the least important activity by survey respondents This underscores the importance of prioritizing a leisure-oriented aquatic facility over a competitive sport-oriented facility. 2 .2 Future Arena Facility Preferences t~ \,j I ' ' Most Popular Activity, as per selected by survey respondents 1. Public skating-51% of respondents reported regular participation 2. Hockey -32% of respondents reported regular participation 3. Skate lessons -23% of respondents reported regular participation Most Important Activities, as ranked by survey respondents: 1. Drop-in and leisure skating 2. Walking track around arena 3. Improved support spaces Similarly to the aquatic infrastructure, community perspectives suggest that the demand for arena infrastructure and programming in Maple Ridge surpasses the current supply. A prevalent theme was the significant limitation of ice availability, especially during peak usage times. Increased access to more ice time was the third most prominent theme identified in the open-ended comment section of the survey. Less frequently, but still a recurring theme, were demands for more dry floor options. Community ice programming, encompassing public skating, stick and puck, and learn-to-skate sessions, face considerable demand that exceeds the City's capacity, primarily due to competing demands from sports user groups and the restricted availability of ice sheets. Many ice and dry floor sport user groups have reported a consistent year-over- 15 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary year increase in participation, further exacerbating the challenge of meeting demand. Community perspectives indicate there is a need for multiple arenas, highlighting the benefits of twin-sheet layouts over single sheets. Results from the survey indicate that more than half of survey respondents indicated frequent visits to Maple Ridge's arenas as ice users and 28% reported frequent visits as dry floor users. Public skating emerged as the most popular arena activity, with 51% of respondents reporting regular participation. Hockey and skate lessons closely followed, with 32% and 23% of respondents, respectively, reporting regular participation. Survey respondents were asked to rank a list of arena priorities in order of importance, with 1 being the most important and 7 being the least important. Survey respondents ranked the priorities as follows: 1. More drop-in and leisure skating 2. Walking track around arenas 3. Improve support areas in arena 4. Increase group rental ice time 5. Increase drop-in dry floor time 6. Increase group rental dry floor time 7. Introduce inclusive programming These results can be visualized as follows: More drop-in and leisure skating Introduce inclusive programming .· • Walking track around arenas Increase group rental dry floor time .j Increase drop-in dry floor time Improve support sreas Increase group rental ice time These results emphasize a clear desire for leisure arena spaces and programming within the comm unity. This suggests that community members are not only in need of an expanded supply of ice and dry floor facilities but also improvements and enhancements to arena 16 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary amenities and support spaces. In response to these community perspectives, a future recreation facility should incorporate additional spaces such as walking tracks, fitness areas, and flexible event spaces to enhance community enjoyment and wellbeing. 2 .3 Other themes Although the public survey and engagement process did not specifically target capturing proposed location concerns, notable findings emerged: 257 survey comments were received that expressed concern associated with the loss of the baseball diamonds, of wh ich 59% originated from the V2X postal code in west Maple Ridge, where the site is located. 172 survey comments were received in opposition to the proposed site, with 87% submitted by residents of the V2X postal code in west Maple Ridge, where the site is located. Additionally, concerns related to parking and traffic were raised by 63 (2 .6% of survey respondents) and 58 (2.5% of survey respondents) respective ly, with 93% and 73% of these originating from the V2X postal code in west Maple Ridge, where the site is located. The following concerns emerged specifically from the Hammond Community Open house (represented by 132 attendees): • Some neighbours felt a large institutional building would not align with the look and feel of predominantly single-family residences in the neighbourhood. Some residents favoured improving existing infrastructure to maintain alignment with the neighbourhood character. • Some residents felt excluded from the city's planning process for a new recreation center and would have preferred a forum- style format for voicing concerns. • Residents have a strong connection to Larry Walker's legacy and the relationship between Hammond Community and baseball. Some have concerns about the city's commitment to replace the current baseball fields 17 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary 2 .4 Support for a New Recreation Centre One of the key themes emerging from the public engagement process was the notable level of support for the development of a new recreation facility in Maple Ridge . Support or excitement for a new facility was the top received comment in the open-ended comment section of the survey. Generally, participants indicated that the city was overdue for new recreation facilities, noting that as the city has continued to grow, recreation amenities had not kept pace with the expanding population. This sentiment was echoed in specific requests for amenities, such as increased arena space for ice and dry floor activities, expanded aquatic facilities with a focus on leisure amenities, increased fitness and general recreation spaces and increased provision of multipurpose and outdoor recreation spaces. Specifically, 698 survey comments were received in support of a new recreation facility. Of these, 50% originated from the V2X postal code. Furthermore, 39 (1 6%) comments expressed support for Hammond Community Park as the selected site, with 87% from residents within the V2X postal code area. 2 .5 Genera l recreation perspectives In addition to aquatic and arena needs and preferences identified through the public survey, several other perspectives and desires regarding future recreational facilities were identified: There's a perceived shortage of City-operated fitness and training areas (indoor cardio and weightlifting). 31% of respondents indicated a new facility should include a fitness area. The community would like to see a new facility include indoor walking tracks (30% of respondents), climbing wall (18% of respondents), children's play spaces (17% of respondents) and youth focused spaces (17% of respondents). 18 Recreation Feasibility Study -Phase 1 Engagement Summary 3 ENGAGEMENT CONCLUSIONS Phase 1 of community engagement in support of the Recreation Feasibility Study included several engagement activities aimed at capturing perspectives, needs, desires and considerations that will inform later stages of analysis.
