27 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 25, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ/107/10 FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COUNCIL SUBJECT: Final Reading: Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No Zone Amending Bylaw No and Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Bylaws and have been considered by Council and at Public Hearing on February 19, 2013 and subsequently were granted Third Reading. The applicant has requested that Final Reading be granted. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit the future construction of 69 townhouse units in the RM-1 (Townhouse Residential) zone and the remainder south east portion to RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) zone. Council granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No on January 11, Council granted first and second reading for Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No on January 22, 2013, and second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No on January 22, This application was presented at Public Hearing on February 19, 2013, and Council granted third reading on February 26, Council granted a first extension to the above stated bylaws on February 25, RECOMMENDATION: That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No be adopted; and That Zone Amending Bylaw No be adopted. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Council considered this rezoning application and the above stated bylaws, with the stipulation that the following conditions be addressed: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security deposit of a security including non-refundable monies for the multi-purpose trail, as outlined in the Agreement; ii. Amendment to Schedule C of the Official Community Plan; iii. Amendment to Part VI A of the Silver Valley Figure 2- Land Use Plan, Figure 4 - Trails/Open Space Plan and Figure 3C River Village Plan in the Silver Valley Area Plan of the Official Community Plan; 1001

28 iv. Park dedication as required; v. Consolidation of the townhouse development site; vi. vii. Registration of a Geotechnical Report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Registration of a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office protecting the Visitor Parking. The following applies to the above: All the conditions stated above have been met, except for items ii and iii which will be completed after final approval of the bylaws. The existing house at nd Avenue was demolished on December 16, The developer has paid all the required securities in support of the off-site servicing upgrades. The solicitor has submitted all the legal documents for registration into the Land Title Office. b) Additional Information: The proposed Site Plan (Appendix D) shows main access to the site from 133 rd Avenue leading through the site to connect to 132 nd Avenue on the south. A total of 69 townhouse units (ranging in size from 1154 ft 2 to 2101 ft 2 ) are proposed in 16 blocks (of 3 to 5 units each) serviced by a 6.0 metre wide strata road with sidewalk on one side. The proposed design of townhouses is subject to the Multi-Family Development Permit Guidelines as per Section 8.7 of the Official Community Plan. This Development Permit application is to regulate the form and character of the 69 townhouse units and the Development Variance Permit application is to vary some setbacks and height of the units and the height of some retaining walls. The developer has paid the refundable securities for the proposed on-site landscaping. It is anticipated that a Development Permit and Variance Permit report in support of this development will be considered by Council at the April 7, 2014 Committee of the Whole meeting and the April 8, 2014 Council meeting. A tributary of the Maple Ridge Park Creek runs diagonally through the south east portion of the southern lot. Environmentally sensitive area around this creek has been finalized for dedication within the 15.0 metres setback from the top of bank of the creek. The development proposal is within 50.0 metres form top of bank of the Maple Ridge Park Creek, hence subject to a Watercourse Protection Development Permit and the associated refundable security for any clean up and enhancement works. The Storm Water Management and Erosion Sediment Control plans have been finalized. The developer has paid the refundable securities for the proposed cleaning, enhancement and planting work within the dedicated conservation area. Approval of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is being finalized. A multi-purpose trail is anticipated to be built through the dedicated conservation area to access the Cedar Park when the property on the east of the subject site ( nd Avenue) develops. The existing culvert was assessed by the applicant s engineer and will be removed. Options for this proposed multi-purpose trail were reviewed by the District s Park Department and finalized. The developer has paid in trust monies ($34,000) so that the trail may be built by the Parks Department, at a future date when the connection through the eastern property is established

29 The developer has finalized a contractor to manage the project. District s engineering staff will be coordinating with the applicant s contractor and paying for the upgrade along the frontage of Cedar Park, along 132 nd Avenue. This is cost-effective for the District as the off-site upgrades for the property frontage are already being done by the developer s contractor. The developer has plans to start building this year. It is anticipated that Building Permit application will be submitted upon Council s final approval of the permits. CONCLUSION: The proposed land use and density are in compliance with the land use designation of the Silver Valley Area Plan. This proposal will dedicate environmentally sensitive area (approximately 21% of the consolidated site area) for conservation purpose, along with enhancement works around Maple Ridge Park Creek. The developer has also contributed monies in trust for a multi-purpose trial within the dedicated conservation area, anticipated to be built by the Parks Department. This will help establish future pedestrian connection to the Cedar Park when the property on the east of subject site ( nd Avenue) redevelops. As the applicant has met Council s conditions, it is recommended that Final Reading be given to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No "Original signed by Rasika Acharya" Prepared by: Rasika Acharya, B-Arch, M-Tech, UDC, LEED AP, MCIP, RPP Planner "Original signed by Christine Carter" Approved by: Christine Carter, M.PL, MCIP, RPP Director of Planning "Original signed by Frank Quinn" Approved by: Frank Quinn, MBA, P.Eng GM: Public Works & Development Services "Original signed by J.L.

DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Council granted Third Reading to Maple Ridge Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No and Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No with the stipulation that the following conditions be addressed: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement; ii. iii. iv. Amendment to Schedule "B" of the Official Community Plan; Road dedication as required; Consolidation of the development site; 1002

38 v. Registration of a Geotechnical Report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; vi. vii. viii. ix. Removal of the existing building at Maple Crescent; Registration of a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office of the phase 2 design; Registration of a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office to restrict the subject site for a Treatment Centre use; A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations; and x. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject lands. The following applies to the above: All the conditions stated above have been met, except for item ii which will be completed after final approval of the bylaws. The existing building at Maple Crescent was demolished on February 24, The developer has paid all the required securities in support of the off-site servicing upgrades. The solicitor has submitted all the legal documents for registration into the Land Title Office. Additional Information: The proposed zone allows a Private Hospital use as a principal use. However the parking ratio required for the zone is not met by this development application. As described earlier in the second reading report, a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centre is for participants who are registered in a 60- day regimented recovery program where driving, vehicle ownership or visitors are prohibited. The onsite parking requirements are minimal and for staff only. The developer is requesting variances to vary the building setbacks, road width for Battle Avenue and the required off-street parking for the proposed use. Council considered the Development Variance report for DVP at the March 17 th Committee of the Whole meeting. It is anticipated that the final reading report on rezoning ( RZ) will be considered at the same Council meeting of March 25, 2014, along with this report. Council had expressed concerns about the reduced parking on the subject site, if in future the Treatment Centre use ceases as the land will be zoned P-2 (Private Hospital) use. To address this concern, Council resolved that a Restrictive Covenant to restrict a Treatment Centre use on the subject site be registered on title. This document was vetted by the District solicitor before execution

55 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No Street EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to P-2 (Special Institutional) to bring the exisiting licensed care use (Beckman House) into compliance, and to allow construction of a two storey building that will provide 20 independent living units. The existing licensed care building is a partnership between BC Housing, the MPA Society, and the Fraser Health Authority who own, operate, and fund the Beckman House initiative, respectively. This development application is supported by numerous Official Community Plan principles, objectives, and policies as outlined in this report. An Official Community Plan amendment is required to re-designate the subject property from Urban Residential to Institutional. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 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. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. 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 District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, C, and E of the Development Procedures Bylaw No

56 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Craven Huston Powers Architects Provincial Rental Housing Corporation Lot 220 District Lot 245 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan Urban Residential Institutional RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) P-2 (Special Institutional) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Convenience Store Zone: C-1 (Neighbourhood Commercial) Designation: Commercial South: Use: Multi-Family Residential, Single-Family Residential Zone: RM-4 (Multiple Family Residential), RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) Designation: Urban Residential West: Use: Duplex, Childcare Centre Zone: RT-1 (Two-Family Residential), P-4 (Church Institutional) Designation: Urban Residential, Institutional Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Assisted Care and Housing Assisted Care and Housing ha (0.75 acres) 216 Street Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject property fronts onto 216 th Street, and the current building is on Maple Ridge s Heritage Inventory. This building was significantly expanded in 2002 following a fire. The applicant s proposal to construct a second building on the property will not impact the existing heritage inventory building. An existing licensed care facility currently operates on the property and the eastern portion of the subject property is vacant. c) Property History: The existing licensed care building is a partnership between BC Housing, the MPA Society, and the Fraser Health Authority who own, operate, and fund the existing Beckman House initiative, respectively. The Beckman House provides 21 licensed care beds and has been in operation for ten - 2 -

57 years. Additionally, the MPA Society operates two duplexes in the area for supported living. The Beckman House provides a range of services including acute psychiatric support, life-skills enhancement programs, and substance use programming. According to the MPA Society website, Beckman House involves residents in all aspects of their recovery from mental health and addictions issues in an environment of acceptance, mutual respect and empowerment. d) Project Description: The applicant proposes to construct a second building to LEED gold standard on the east side of the subject property behind the existing building. The proposed building will be two storeys and will provide 20 independent living beds for adults living with mental health issues. 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 a further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries, OCP designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. e) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The development site is currently designated Urban Residential. For the proposed development an OCP amendment will be required to re-designate the site to Institutional to allow the proposed P-2 (Special Institutional) zoning. Research conducted as a component of the Official Community Plan review in identified that there are waiting lists for social housing, shelter beds, transition housing, community care facilities and supportive housing within the community, and that providers regularly turn away those in need of such housing, for lack of such facilities. As a result of this recognized need, numerous principles, objectives and policies in the OCP support increasing affordable special needs housing in the community as outlined here: Principle 37: Housing choice is critical to meeting the diverse needs of current and future residents of Maple Ridge - special needs, singles, young families and an aging population. Principle 39: A healthy community depends on social services that meet the needs of a diverse population. OBJECTIVES: To encourage a variety of housing types and densities to meet the diverse residential needs of the District. To encourage the provision of affordable market and non-market housing and rental accommodation in Maple Ridge. To recognize that mixed socio-economic housing contributes positively to overall community health, and to facilitate the provision of special needs housing within the District (including social housing, community care facilities, transition housing, shelter housing and supportive housing units) for people with physical, mental, and/or lifestyle challenges

58 These OCP principles and objectives speak to diversity in housing choice that will meet the needs of all residents. Furthermore, the provision of this diversity of choice contributes to a healthy community. In addition to the above noted principles and objectives, the following, more specific policies are included in the OCP: Policy 3-5 Maple Ridge will support Healthy Community Land Use Strategies and community wellness principles by: a) recognizing the link between the provision of a range of housing options and social sustainability; b) promoting affordable housing developments that incorporate access to services through interconnecting roadways, bicycle paths, and pedestrian links; c) promoting activities that contribute to the needs, health, development, and wellbeing of individuals within the community, as well as the overall community; d) encouraging the provision of an appropriate scale of services at the neighbourhood level; e) promoting diverse, safe and secure neighbourhoods that facilitates neighbourly support, resulting in a healthier, more resilient community; f) encouraging public spaces that offer opportunities for community interaction; and g) promoting affordable housing developments that meet diverse housing needs. Policy 3-28 Maple Ridge will encourage partnerships with government and non-government agencies to support the creation of affordable, rental and special needs housing in the community. Policy 3-32 Maple Ridge supports the provision of affordable, rental and special needs housing throughout the District. Where appropriate, the provision of affordable, rental, and special needs housing will be a component of area plans. Policy 4-3 Maple Ridge will assist the Fraser Health Region to plan for appropriate community health facilities and services for our changing and growing population. This development application aligns with promoting a mix of housing types to support diverse needs in terms of both income and abilities by increasing the availability of housing for persons with disabilities in an infill form. In addition, this development application reflects policies that encourage partnership with government and non-government agencies such as BC Housing, the Fraser Health Authority, and the MPA Society in creating special needs housing. The District of Maple Ridge is currently working on the Housing Action Plan, to be completed in Metro Vancouver, through the Regional Growth Strategy adopted in 2011, identified that affordable housing with a range of housing options is an essential part of a complete community. The recently updated Regional Context Statement also includes work-toward statements to complete a Housing Action Plan. The Housing Action Plan will identify goals and objectives of the Housing Action Plan which include, but are not limited to: Assessing local housing market conditions; Identifying housing priorities; Encouraging the supply of new rental housing; Developing local partnerships and work with other levels of government to secure affordable housing; and Identifying short, medium and long-term actions to meet housing needs across the housing continuum

59 The proposed expansion to Beckman House will increase the supply of supportive housing units in Maple Ridge. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject property located at Street from RS-1 (One Family Urban Residential) to P-2 (Special Institutional) to permit construction of a two storey building with 20 assisted living beds. The applicant has requested variances for the building setbacks on three sides to maximize the redevelopment opportunities on the subject property. Additionally, the applicant has requested a site specific text amendment to allow an increase in density from 0.5 FSR to 0.8 FSR, and a reduction in the number of parking spaces required under the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw from 26 to 11 parking spaces. These variances and text amendment are consistent with relaxations proposed for the Maple Crescent Lodge Treatment Centre expansion. The details of the text amendment and proposed variances will be the subject of a future report to Council. Development Permits: Section of the Local Government Act enables the creation of a Development Permit Area for various purposes, including form and character for intensive residential, commercial, industrial, or multi-family developments. There is no provision in the Local Government Act for properties designated Institutional, therefore no form and character development permit is required for this application. Advisory Design Panel: Copies of the architectural plans for the proposed building will be forwarded to the Advisory Design Panel prior to second reading for comments, although no development permit is required as noted above. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy f) 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) Licenses, Permits, and Bylaws Department; d) Parks and Leisure Services (Community Services); e) Fire Department; and f) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and departments not listed above. This application has not been forwarded to the Engineering Department for comments at this time; therefore, an evaluation of servicing requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will take place between first and second reading

60 g) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District s website, together with an invitation to the public to comment. h) Development Applications: In order for this application to proceed the following information must be provided, as required by Development Procedures Bylaw No as amended: 1. An OCP Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule C); and 3. A Development Variance Permit (Schedule E). 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 not in compliance with the existing OCP designation, however numerous OCP policies provide justification and support to allow the amendment in order for the project to proceed. It is therefore recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation.

66 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No and Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject properties, located at and Avenue, from RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential). The applicant intends to choose the Density Bonus option within the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, which is specific to the Albion Area, enabling single-family lot sizes of 371 m². The required amenity fee of $3, per lot less than 557 m² will be collected by the Approving Officer at the subdivision approval stage. A portion of the subject properties in the southeast corner is within the 30 m setback area from the top of bank of a watercourse and will therefore be dedicated as park for conservation purposes. As such, an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment will be required to amend the land use designation in this area from Residential Low Medium to Conservation. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 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. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. 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 District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, and; That Zone Amending Bylaw No be given first reading; and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedules A, B, F, and G of the Development Procedures Bylaw No , along with the information required for a Subdivision application. 1102

67 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owners: Legal Descriptions: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: David Laird, DAMAX Consultants Ltd. S. Englmann and J. and C. Krawchuk Lots 1 and 2, Section 15, Township 12, New Westminster District Plan Low/Medium Density Residential Low/Medium Density Residential and Conservation RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), with a Density Bonus through the Community Amenity Program Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) (under application RZ) Designation: Low Density Residential, Low/Medium Density Residential, and Conservation South: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Conservation, Low/Medium Density Residential, and Institutional East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) (under application RZ) Designation: Low/Medium Density Residential Existing Use of Properties: Proposed Use of Properties: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Single Family Residential Single Family Residential 0.8 ha (2 acres) 112 Avenue, 243 Street and proposed 243A Street (new) Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan and are approximately 0.81 ha (2 acres) in size, in total. The subject properties are bound by 112 Avenue to the south, 243 Street to the west, and single family residential lots to the north and east (see Appendix A). A watercourse is located to the southeast of the subject properties, which will require a small portion of the property to be dedicated as park for conservation purposes (see Appendix B)

68 c) Project Description: The applicant has requested to rezone the subject properties from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential), with a Density Bonus, in accordance with the Community Amenity Program, which received final reading on October 8, The Community Amenity Program is detailed in Zone Amending Bylaw No , which will permit the following: For the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone, the base density is a net lot area of 557 m 2. A Density Bonus is an option in the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone and shall be applied as follows: a. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot will be required in any subdivision containing one or more lots with an area of less than 557 m 2, payable when the Approving Officer approves the subdivision. b. The maximum density permitted through the Density Bonus option is: i. minimum net lot area of 371 m 2 ; ii. minimum lot width of 12.0 m; iii. minimum lot depth of 24 m. c. Zoning requirements consistent with the R-1 (Residential District) zone will apply and supersede the zoning requirements for the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone. The proposed development consists of approximately 12 R-1 (Residential District) sized lots, amounting to an Amenity Contribution of approximately $37, The final number of lots and amenity contribution will be determined at the time of approval of the subdivision. At this time the current application has been assessed to determine its compliance with the Official Community Plan 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 a further report will be required prior to second reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, Official Community Plan designations and bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject properties are located within the Albion Area Plan and are currently designated Residential Low-Medium Density. For the proposed development, an OCP amendment will be required to re-designate the southeast portion of the subject properties currently designated Residential Low-Medium Density to Conservation, as this area will be dedicated as park due to the watercourse setback to a watercourse (see Appendix B). The application is in compliance with OCP Amending Bylaw No , that establishes the Community Amenity Program, and in compliance with the proposed Zoning Amending Bylaw No , that permits a Density Bonus option in the Residential Low-Medium Density designation in the Albion Area Plan. The applicant intends to apply the Density Bonus option to this project, as discussed above in the Project Description. This application is east and south of current - 3 -

69 rezoning applications that are applying for the same zone and density bonus, under applications RZ and RZ. Zoning Bylaw: The current application proposes to rezone the subject properties located at and Avenue from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) with a Density Bonus (see Appendix C), to permit future subdivision into approximately 12 single family lots. The application of the Density Bonus, which is specific to the Albion Area Plan, will permit the applicant to reduce the single-family lot size from the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) base density of 557 m 2 to 371 m 2. An Amenity Contribution of $3,100 per lot for each lot that is less than 557 m 2 is required, as discussed in the Project Description above. Any variations from the requirements of the Density Bonus zone of R-1 (Residential District) for lots less than 557 m² or from the requirements of the RS-1b (One Family Urban (Medium Density) Residential) zone for lots greater than 557 m² will require a Development Variance Permit application. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.9 of the Official Community Plan, a Watercourse Protection Development Permit application is required for all developments and building permits within 50 metres of the top of bank of all watercourses and wetlands. The purpose of the Watercourse Protection Development Permit is to ensure the preservation, protection, restoration and enhancement of watercourse and riparian areas. Pursuant to Section 8.10 of the OCP, a Natural Features Development Permit application is required for all development and subdivision activity or building permits for: All areas designated Conservation on Schedule B or all areas within 50 metres of an area designated Conservation on Schedule B, or on Figures 2, 3 and 4 in the Silver Valley Area Plan; All lands with an average natural slope of greater than 15 %; 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. Advisory Design Panel: A Form and Character Development Permit is not required because this is a single family project, therefore this application does not need to be reviewed by the Advisory Design Panel. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting is not required for this application because it is in compliance with the OCP and is less than 25 dwelling units

70 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) Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department; e) Parks Department; and f) 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 requirements has not been undertaken. This evaluation will take place between first and second reading. f) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District 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 as amended: 1. An Official Community Plan Application (Schedule A); 2. A complete Rezoning Application (Schedule B); 3. A Watercourse Protection Development Permit Application (Schedule F); 4. A Natural Features Development Permit (Schedule G); and 5. A Subdivision Application. The above list is intended to be indicative only, other applications may be necessary as the assessment of the proposal progresses. CONCLUSION: The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the OCP with respect to designated land use; however, minor adjustments to the Conservation boundaries are required. Justification has been provided to support the OCP amendment. It is therefore recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation. It is expected that once complete information is received, Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No may be amended and an OCP Amendment for Conservation boundary adjustment may be required

77 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Second Reading Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No Bosonworth Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the subject property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to permit a future subdivision of 3 lots. The proposed RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zoning complies with the Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No be given second reading and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 2. That the following term(s) and condition(s) be met prior to Final Reading. i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement; ii. iii. iv. Road widening, truncation and cul-de-sac turn-around as required; Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations. v. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s). 1103

78 DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Owner: Paul Hayes Ian A. Speckman Legal Description: Lot 1, Section 12, Township 12, New Westminstwer Plan 2713 OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Suburban Residential A-2 (Upland Agricultural) RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation Agricultural and Suburban Residential South: Use: Vacant District Land Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Forest East: Use: Single Family Residential Zone: A-2 (Upland Agricultural) Designation: Suburban Residential West: Use: Single Family Residential Strata Zone: RG-2 (Suburban Residential Strata) Designation: Suburban Residential Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Companion Applications: Single Family Residential Single Family Residential HA. (4.56 Acres) Bosonworth Avenue and 256 Street On-site septic and municipal water SD b) Project Description: The applicant is seeking to rezone the subject hectare (4.56 acre) property from A-2 (Upland Agricultural) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential), to create 3 single family lots. Two of the proposed lots will front on Bosonworth Avenue and the third southernmost lot will face 256 Street. Bosonworth Avenue becomes an unpaved gravel road in front of this property and 256 Street has been constructed south of Bosonworth Avenue as part of the Grant Hill subdivision to the west. Widening and paving of Bosonworth Avenue, a cul-de-sac turnaround at the current south terminus of 256 Street and a corner truncation at the intersection of these two streets will be provided as part of the subdivision associated with this rezoning application

79 The subject property contains an existing dwelling to be retained. It will be sited on one of the three lots in accordance with Zoning Bylaw setback requirements. The land slopes upwards from Bosonworth Avenue and is particularly steep at the southern end of the site abutting the District Forest Lands. The southern portion of the site and the unconstructed portion of 256 Street will be retained in its natural state. A preliminary site plan showing the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site septic disposal areas is attached for reference (Appendix C). c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The proposal for RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) Zoning is consistent with the zones permitted in the Zoning Matrix for lands designated as Suburban Residential. Consequently, the proposal is consistent with the existing Official Community Plan designation. Zoning Bylaw: The proposed lots will meet the minimum lot width, depth and area set out in the Zoning Bylaw for RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zone. Each lot is at least 0.40 hectares (1.0 acre) in area, with the southern lot having a greater area of hectares. The two lots along Bosonworth Avenue will be about 50 metres wide and 84 metres deep, and Lot 3 is about 100 metres in both width and depth. Lot 3 is larger to permit adequate space for a building site and septic fields due to the sloping conditions of the land. Development Information Meeting: A Development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result in fewer than 25 dwelling units, and no Official Community Plan amendment is required. d) Environmental Implications: At first reading, it was anticipated that pursuant to Section 8.10 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Features Development Permit (NFDP) application would be required for the portion of the site with an average natural slope of greater than 15 percent. After further review, it has been determined that a development permit will not be required. Instead, the sloping lands in the southern part of the site will be subject to a no-build/no disturb steep slope covenant. Plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of a development permit, for restoration and enhancement works along an unbuilt portion of 256 Street north of Bosonworth Avenue in conjunction with another site ( RZ) being developed by the same applicant. The necessary covenant and accompanying explanatory plan will be registered on proposed Lot 3 at the time of subdivision

80 e) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: Engineering has identified a number of required off site works including: construction of Bosonworth to a rural standard (it is currently a gravel road) in front of the property, a corner truncation, dedication to complete the cul-de-sac at the south end of 256 Street, storm water/drainage works on Bosonworth, and installing a mast-arm street light and new water service connections. Latecomers for the area s water system and road access onto 256 Street may apply. Parks & Leisure Services Department: An existing off road trail within the Bosonworth Avenue right-of-way may need to be accommodated as a boulevard trail in the road right of way in conjunction with the construction of Bosonworth Avenue across the frontage of the property. This will be determined as part of the subdivision approval process. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that second reading be given to Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No and that application be forwarded to Public Hearing.

85 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: Second Reading Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to rezone the portion of the subject property located outside of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit a future subdivision into four (4) RS-2 lots and one RS-3 lot remaining in the ALR This application received first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No on March 12, This site is identified by the Agricultural Land Commission as one of the Remnant Properties in their comments concerning the Albion Flats Concept Plan. Therefore, the applicant was given the option of proceeding with an exclusion application on the rear portion of the development site ahead of rezoning. The applicant did not chose to do the exclusion; therefore, instead of rezoning from RS-3 to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) and A-1 (Small Holding Agricultural), the northern portion located in the ALR will retain its current RS-3 zoning and only the the southern portion to be subdivided into 4 lots will proceed with rezoning to RS-2. The zone amending bylaw is amended accordingly. The proposed RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) zoning complies with the Official Community Plan. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. That Zone Amending Bylaw No be amended as identified in the staff report dated February 3, 2014, be given second reading, and be forwarded to Public Hearing; and 2. That the following terms and conditions be met prior to Final Reading: i. Registration of a Rezoning Servicing Agreement as a Restrictive Covenant and receipt of the deposit of a security, as outlined in the Agreement; ii. Road dedication as required; 1104

86 iii. iv. Registration of a geotechnical report as a Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office which addresses the suitability of the site for the proposed development; Registration of a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant at the Land Title Office; v. Registration of a Agricultural Impact Assessment report and a Landscaping Plan for a buffer along the Agricultural Land Reserve Boundary at the Land Title Office; vi. vii. viii. ix. Entering into a Restoration and Enhancement Agreement for the unconstructed portion of the 256 Street allowance abutting the site; Removal of the existing building/s; A disclosure statement must be submitted by a Professional Engineer advising whether there is any evidence of underground fuel storage tanks. If there is evidence, a site profile pursuant to the Waste Management Act must be provided in accordance with the regulations. Pursuant to the Contaminated Site Regulations of the Environmental Management Act, the property owner will provide a Site Profile for the subject land(s).

The property is currently forested, except for a clearing at the northern end. A small existing structure will be removed prior to final reading. The site is serviced with a well and septic fields. The applicant proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property that is not in the ALR from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential. This will permit the creation of about 4 lots having an area of 0.45 Ha (1.1 acres) each fronting along Bosonworth Avenue. The northern 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) portion of the property within the Agricultural Land Reserve will retain its RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zone. The attached preliminary site plan shows the lot layout, proposed building envelopes and on-site septic disposal areas (Appendix C). This subdivision does not require Agricultural Land Commission approval because Section 10 (1) (d) of the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulations allows the Approving Officer to establish a legal boundary along the boundary of the Agricultural Land Reserve. c) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The southern portion of the development site is currently designated Suburban Residential and the northern portion located and being subdivided along the Agricultural Land Reserve boundary is currently designated Agricultural. The proposed rezoning complies with the established designations

88 Zoning Bylaw: The application proposes to rezone the southern portion of the property located at Avenue from RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) to RS-2 (One Family Suburban Residential) to permit four 0.45 Ha (1.1 acre) RS-2 lots, and a remnant 2.22 Ha (5.5 acres) RS-3 parcel in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The proposed lots will comply with Zoning Bylaw requirement for lot area, width and depth. Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw: 256 Street is an unconstructed road to the west of the subject site. Due to excessive grade, the Engineering Department determined it cannot be built within municipal road standards and a development variance permit is required to dispense with its construction. Engineering is supportive of this variance. A separate report will be forwarded to Council on this matter at a future date. The road allowance contains a water pumping station at the bottom of the hill on 112 Avenue, and municipal water main from the station up the hill to Bosonworth Avenue and then further south to the Grant Hill Reservoir. Development Information Meeting: A development Information Meeting was not required because the proposed subdivision will result in fewer than 25 dwelling units. Development Permits: Pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Official Community Plan, a Natural Feature Development Permit is required to address excessive sloping conditions on portions of the site. This development permit will be coordinated with these landscaping requirements: Restoration and enhancement plantings will be undertaken by the applicant in lieu of plantings on the subject site and another to the south ( RZ). This planting will be designed not to impact the recently installed water main and to stabilize the sloping 256 Street right-of-way. Landscaping will be planted along the rear of the proposed 4 lots and on the eastern side of the easternmost lot to create a buffer with the Agricultural Land Reserve in accordance with the Landscaping Buffer Specification established by the Agricutural Land Commission. d) Environmental Implications: The site is covered by a tree canopy that increases in intensity from north (along 112 Avenue) to south (along Bosonworth Avenue). The site is characterized by slopes between 10 and 25 percent. The southeastern portion of the site has excessive sloping (more than 25%) conditions. Therefore, - 4 -

89 the proposed eastern lot will be subject to a Tree Protection/Steep Slope Restrictive Covenant to be registered on title as a third reading condition. The Arborist Report and Tree Survey identify trees to be removed to provide envelopes for building sites and septic fields. Plans have been submitted identifying these envelopes. These envelopes will need to be adjusted for best practices as part of fulfilling subdivision conditions, particularly on the easternmost lot. A geotechnical engineer must insure that any lot grading will have no impact on slope stability. A combination of Development Permit and Restoration and Enhancement Agreement will be used to protect sensitive sloping areas and provide the specification for the necessary plantings to maintain slope stability on the site and along the 256 Street right-of-way. e) Agricultural Impact: Policy 6-12 b) strives to protect the productivity of agricultural lands by requiring agricultural impact assessments (AIAs) and Groundwater Impact Assessment of non-farm development and infrastructure projects and identifying measures to off-set impacts on agricultural capability. An Agricultural Impact Assessment report has been provided that satisfies District requirements for this purpose. This report confirms that there will be no direct or indirect drainage, water quality, noise and traffic impact on the agricultural area. A Landscaping Buffer Plan in accordance with ALC and District standards will be completed by the applicant. Registration of a Restrictive Covenant, with the Agricultural Impact Assessment report, a Landscaping Buffer Plan and submission of a security, is a third reading requirement. f) Interdepartmental Implications: Building Department: Comments from Building include: referencing the 2012 Building Code in the Geotechnical Report, insuring building permits are obtained to demolish existing buildings, and insuring the final site grading plan provides for smooth grade transitions between lots. Engineering Department: Comments from Engineering have identified some off-site requirements that the applicant needs to address. These include: road widening along 112 and Bosonworth Avenues, and the construction of Bossonworth Avenue (currently a gravel road) to a rural standard. Engineering further advises that the location and design of each driveway be reviewed to avoid excessive driveway grades

90 Fire Department: Due to heavy tree cover, Fire requires adequate clearance to each future residential dwelling. When constructed, the driveways will need to be clear of vegetation 6 metres wide and minimum 5 metres high with a 5 metre wide drivable surface. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that Maple Ridge Zone Amending Bylaw No be amended as identified in the staff report dated March 17, 2014, be given second reading as amended, and be forwarded to Public Hearing.

95 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: CU FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: C of W SUBJECT: First Reading Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No , 19975, and Dunn Avenue EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: An application has been received to amend Appendix D Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan to permit a temporary industrial use on the RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) zoned subject properties. The subject properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership. This OCP amendment will bring the subject properties into compliance. To proceed further with this application additional information is required as outlined below. RECOMMENDATIONS: In respect of Section 879 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. School District Boards, greater boards and improvements district boards; and vi. The Provincial and Federal Governments and their agencies. 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 District's website, together with an invitation to the public to comment, That Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No be given first reading, and That the applicant provide further information as described on Schedule H of the Development Procedures Bylaw No DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Applicant: Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep 1105

96 Owner: Legal Descriptions: BC Transit Lot 15 Except: Firstly; the West Half Secondly; Parcel 11 (Bylaw Plan LMP34902) Thirdly Part in Plan BCP29640 District Lot 222 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan West Half Lot 15 Except First: Parcel 7 (Bylaw Plan LMP34902) Secondly; Part in Plan BCP29640 District Lot 222 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan Lot 16 Except Firstly: Parcel 8 (Bylaw Plan LMP34902) Secondly: Part in Plan BCP29640 District Lot 222 Group 1 New Westminster District Plan OCP: Existing: Zoning: Existing: Institutional RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Surrounding Uses: North: Use: Highway Commercial Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial South: Use: Off-Street Parking (Park and Ride) Zone: RS-3 (One Family Rural Residential) Designation: Institutional East: Use: Vacant Zone: RS-3 (On Family Rural Residential) Designation: Institutional West: Use: Vacant Zone: CS-1 (Service Commercial) Designation: Commercial Existing Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property: Site Area: Access: Servicing requirement: Outdoor Vehicle Storage Outdoor Vehicle Storage ha (0.45 acres) Dunn Avenue Urban Standard b) Site Characteristics: The subject properties are bounded by Maple Meadows Way to the west, Dunn Avenue to the south and east, and the Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership to the north. The properties have been cleared and are currently used for overflow inventory storage from the car dealership located to the north of the site. c) Project Description: The applicant proposes to amend Appendix D - Temporary Industrial Use of the Official Community Plan to allow a Temporary Industrial Use Permit on the three subject properties. The subject - 2 -

97 properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership, and this OCP amendment will bring the properties into compliance. The long-term use of the subject properties is expected to be an expansion of the West Coast Express park-and-ride facility on the south side of Dunn Avenue once capacity of the existing parking lot is reached, potentially in the next five to ten years. 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 a further report will be required prior to Second Reading. Such assessment may impact proposed lot boundaries and yields, OCP designations and Bylaw particulars, and may require application for further development permits. d) Planning Analysis: Official Community Plan: The subject properties are located in west Maple Ridge and are currently designated Institutional. An OCP amendment is required to add the subject properties into Appendix D Temporary Use Permits of the Official Community Plan. Appendix D of the Official Community Plan states the following: 1. Lands in the District may be designated to permit temporary uses if a condition or circumstance exists that warrants the use for a short period of time but does not warrant a change of land use designation or zoning of the property. 2. Council has the authority by resolution to issue Temporary Use Permits to allow temporary uses on specific properties. Council may specify conditions for the temporary use. 3. Designated Temporary Use Permit areas will require guidelines that specify the general conditions regarding the issuance of permits, the use of the land, and the date the use is to terminate. 4. As a condition of issuing the permit, Council may require applicants or owners to remove buildings, to restore the property to a specific condition when the use ends, and to post a security bond. A permit may be issued for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed only once. 5. Council may issue Temporary Use Permits to allow: a) temporary commercial uses, i.e., temporary parking areas; and b) temporary industrial uses, i.e. soil screening. 6. A Temporary Use Permit is issued in accordance with the provisions of Section of the Local Government Act. The subject properties are currently owned by BC Transit and are anticipated to be used for an expanded West Coast Express Park and Ride facility in the future; therefore, a temporary use permit as outlined in points 1 and 2 above is more appropriate than a rezoning application. Furthermore, as outlined in points 2 and 3 above, the Temporary Industrial Use Permit may have conditions and guidelines for the use to occur, as well as removal and restoration requirements once the permit terminates. These conditions and guidelines are similar to rezoning conditions such as engineering servicing improvements, landscaping, and fencing. A security deposit to ensure removal of structures and restoration of the properties at the expiration of the permit will also be required. The conditions of the temporary industrial use permit will be the subject of a future report to Council

98 It is important to note that the Temporary Industrial Use Permits are now valid for a period of up to three years, and may be renewed and extended only once. The main difference between rezoning and temporary use permits is the duration of time that the use is permitted on the property, and the removal and restoration requirements. Development Information Meeting: As there is an OCP amendment, a Development Information Meeting is required for this application. Prior to second reading the applicant is required to host a Development Information Meeting in accordance with Council Policy 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; and d) Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The above list is intended to be indicative only and it may become necessary, as the application progresses, to liaise with agencies and departments not listed above. Engineering Department: This application has been forwarded to the Engineering Department for preliminary comments on the intersection of Dunn Avenue and Maple Meadows Way. The Engineering Department has commented that the traffic signals at Dunn Avenue and Maple Meadows Way have been inactive for a number of years due to Canadian Pacific Railway s (CPR) traffic safety concerns at the CPR crossing, specifically the lack of time for vehicles to clear the tracks on Maple Meadows Way when trains are approaching. Engineering staff have expended considerable effort working with CPR and Transport Canada to resolve the requirement to provide adequate signal pre-emption for approaching trains. CPR staff have just recently affirmed, as a result of modifications proposed by the District at the Maple Meadows Way and Dunn Avenue intersection, that with minor modifications to CPR circuit frequencies the minimum pre-emption timing requirements can be met and the traffic signals activated. In conjunction, Translink has agreed to undertake improvements on their property adjacent to the intersection to minimize short-cutting across the tracks by pedestrians, and the owner of Meadowtown Mall has agreed to extend the sidewalk from their property out to Maple Meadows Way to eliminate the pedestrian discontinuity and hopefully, shortcutting across the rail tracks at unsafe locations. A complete evaluation of this application by the Engineering Department will take place between first and second reading. Finance Department: The Finance Department has confirmed that municipal taxation is based on the use of the property, rather than the zone of the property. As a result, the outdoor storage of vehicles would garner the same amount of property tax whether it is permitted as a Temporary Industrial Permit or as a rezoning application. No reduction in tax revenue is anticipated as a result of this application

99 f) Early and Ongoing Consultation: In respect of Section 879 of the Local Government Act for consultation during an Official Community Plan amendment, it is recommended that no additional consultation is required beyond the early posting of the proposed OCP amendments on the District 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 as amended: 1. A Temporary Industrial Use Permit Application (Schedule H) 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 not in compliance with the Institutional designation of the subject properties. The subject properties are currently being used for outdoor storage of vehicle inventory for the adjacent Maple Ridge Chrysler Dodge Jeep car dealership. The proposed OCP amendment will bring the subject properties into compliance by amending Appendix D Temporary Use Permits of the OCP. It is, therefore, recommended that Council grant first reading subject to additional information being provided and assessed prior to second reading. It is recommended that Council not require any further additional OCP consultation.

104 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: DVP FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit Maple Crescent EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: A Development Variance Permit application ( DVP) has been received in conjunction with a rezoning application ( RZ), to permit the construction of a two storey Treatment Centre building in the P-2 (Special Institutional) zone. The requested variances are to vary the building setbacks, road right-of-way width for Battle Avenue and the required off-street parking for the proposed use, as decribed in this report. It is anticipated that the final reading report on rezoning ( RZ) will be considered at the same Council meeting of March 25, 2014, along with this report. Council considered rezoning application RZ and granted first reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No on May 14, Council granted first and second reading for Official Community Plan Amending Bylaw No and second reading for Zone Amending Bylaw No on August 27, This application was presented at Public Hearing on September 17, 2013, and Council granted third reading on September 24, RECOMMENDATION: That the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal DVP respecting property located at Maple Crescent. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context Applicant: Owner: Legal Description: OCP: Existing: Proposed: Zoning: Existing: Proposed: Gordon W Knuttila of Silver Valley Homes Ltd.

The Subdivision and Development Services Bylaw No , Schedule C - Services and Utilities Section 3.5 Roads, SD-R2 Urban Collector, Industrial Local Street, specifies a road right-of-way width of 20.0 metres (Collector Standard) for an institutional use. The existing road right-of-way for Battle Avenue is 18.3 metres, requiring a variance of 1.7 metres. It is anticipated that 0.85 metre will be acquired from the properties to the north of Battle Avenue, when they re-develop. This application is seeking a variance of 0.85 metre. 2. Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No , Section 903 (3) (d) Regulations in addition to those in Section 403 for the size, shape and siting of buildings and structures in Institutional zones, specifies that buildings and structures for a Private Hospital Use shall not be sited less than 7.5 metres from all lot lines. Section 403(4)(b)(1) Regulations for the size, shape and siting of Buildings and Structures- siting exceptions allows architectural elements like chimneys to have a reduced setback of 6.25 metres instead of required 7.5 metres, from a front, rear or exterior side yard, in the P-2 zone. The following setbacks are being requested in support of the proposal: a) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the building façade, be varied to 3.3 metres (variance of 4.2 metres) in the north-west corner; b) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the kitchen shaft (chimney), be varied to 2.7 metres (variance of 3.55 metres); c) Setback on the north (facing Battle Avenue) to the building façade, be varied to 3.6 metres (variance of 3.9 metres) in the north-east corner; - 2 -

106 d) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the building façade, be varied to 3.0 metres (variance of 4.5 metres) in the south-west corner, near office 1 (covered porch area); e) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the column supporting patio (canopy), be varied to 1.92 metres (variance of 4.33 metres); and f) Setback on the south (facing Maple Crescent) to the building façade be varied to 2.75 metres (variance of 4.75 metres) in the south-east corner, near counselling #4 office. 3. Maple Ridge Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No , Schedule A Off-Street Parking Space Requirements, Section 6.0 Institutional Use, a) Private Hospital Use and rest homes with or without care, to vary the required off-street parking from required 13 spaces to 3 spaces for phase 1 and 5 spaces at the end of both the phases. c) Project Description: Treatment Centre Use: In addition to the Maple Crescent facility, Innervisions Recovery Society currently operates two other drug and alcohol treatment centres; one is the Hannah House for women in Maple Ridge and the other is a facility for men, in Port Coquitlam. Hannah House, located on the corner of Laity Street and Dewdney Trunk Road, is a treatment centre for women who voluntarily enter its 60 day regimented drug/alcohol recovery program. A typical treatment centre would have beds (rooms), kitchen, and dining, outdoor activity space, counseling rooms, common training room, medical rooms, common laundry room and administrative office areas. Such a facility is managed by staff members and volunteers. After the 60 day program is completed, the participants go home or to a group recovery house that provides further care and support. While in the treatment centre, the participants are not permitted to have a vehicle or visit friends/family outside the centre. It is a structured recovery program with strict discipline and any visits outside are organized and monitored by staff. Site & Project Characteristics: The development site, located within the Hammond Area of West Maple Ridge, consists of two irregular shaped lots that have been consolidated. The consolidated lot size is approximately 1275m 2, of which only 567m 2 is being rezoned. The remaining site is already zoned P-2 (Special Institutional) and houses the Maple Crescent Lodge which is a recovery house for men. The development site is surrounded by road on three sides (i.e. Battle Avenue on the north; Maple Crescent on the south and 206 th Street on the east). Both properties are owned by the Innervisions Recovery Society. The triangular shaped portion is being rezoned to P-2 (Special Institutional zone) to permit phase 1 of the proposed Treatment Centre. The existing single family house on the subject site will be demolished. The existing Maple Crescent Lodge which is a two storey group recovery home with 17 beds, common kitchen, dining and living rooms. This building is encroaching into the 206 th Street road right of way. While the use is a permitted use in the P-2 (Special Instituitonal) zone, the siting of the building is non-conforming. This existing structure will be retained during the proposed phase 1 of the project. Once phase 1 is complete, it is the intention of the owner to eventually relocate the residents of Maple Crescent Lodge to the new facility, to begin proposed phase 2. Timing of phase 2 is unknown at this time

107 The project is proposed in two phases. Phase 1 will include kitchen, dining, laundry and service areas to serve both the phases in a two storey 17 bed facility. The gross floor area proposed for phase 1 is 7154 ft 2. Phase 2 will include demolition of the existing lodge and addition of 24 beds and common areas. Phase 2 will be attached to the completed phase 1 building and final product will be one facility with 41 beds and the required common areas. A Restrictive Covenant to restrict the development site to a Treatment Centre use has been finalized as a condition of final reading. A basic building scheme Restrictive Covenant specifying the building footprint for phase 1 and 2 has also been finalized as a condition of final reading. The exterior design for phase 1 reflects a traditional theme incorporating hipped roofs, gabled window box outs, covered main entrance, a combination of vinyl siding and vinyl wall shingles for the facades; gable ends with wood trims and asphalt laminate shingles for roofing. This design is to ensure a residential look to the proposed building for a better fit into the existing context. Vehicular access to the site is proposed off of Battle Avenue (Appendix C). Due to the flat topography of the site and location of the existing Maple Crescent Lodge, the proposed parking area with 3 onsite spaces would be slightly raised to provide a level access from Battle Avenue. All the off-site upgrades along Battle Avenue and Maple Crescent have been finalized through a Rezoning Servicing Agreement Restrictive Covenant. d) Planning Analysis: Site Specific Text Amendment: A site-specific text amendment is required to the P-2 (Special Institutional) zone to permit a higher density and lot coverage than permitted in the zone. The permitted FSR in the P-2 zone is 0.5 times the net lot area. Proposed maximum FSR for phase 1 includng the existing gross floor area of the Maple Crescent Lodge is 0.91 times the net lot area. The gross floor area proposed for phase 1 is 7201 ft 2. The permitted lot coverage in the P-2 zone is 40% of the net lot area. The proposed lot coverage is 49.4% of the net lot area. These are addressed through a site-specific text amendment, included in the Zone Amending Bylaw No Zoning Bylaw: The proposed zone specifies minimum building setbacks of 7.5 metres from all the property lines. The Zoning Bylaw allows reduced setbacks for architectural elements like canopies, patios, chimneys, bay windows, hutches, nooks, etc. (through specific siting exceptions), which assist better articulation on the site. This proposal is seeking some variances as described below. Proposed Variances: The Zoning Bylaw, Subdivision Servicing Bylaw and Off- Street Parking & Loading Bylaws establish general minimum and maximum regulations for specific zones. If the development proposal does not meet the requirements such as road standards, setbacks, height, on-site parking, etc. the applicant may seek a variance. A Development Variance Permit allows Council some flexibility in the approval process. Such flexibility can allow an applicant to sensitively fit a project to a challenging site. The applicant is seeking the following variances as described below

108 Proposed variances to the Zoning Bylaw: The Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No , requires a minimum building façade setback of 7.5 metres from all property lines, for the P-2 zone. Siting exceptions in the Zoning Bylaw allow architectural features such as chimneys, porches, patios, canopies, etc. to extend up to a maximum of 1.25 metres into the minimum setbacks for the front, exterior side or rear of the building. In other words, the minimum front, rear or exterior side yard setbacks for these architectural elements, in the P-2 zone, is 6.25 metres from the property lines. Due to the challenging triangular lot configuration and the context of roads on all the sides of the property, the owner is proposing reduced setbacks along both the street frontages (Maple Crescent and Battle Avenue), as described in section b) of this report. The staggered building footprint is designed to fit the challenging lot configuration and brings some building corners into the required setbacks, along the north and south. These setback variances are not for the whole façade of the building and are intended to improve the street presence. They are not anticipated to negatively impact the neighbours, as the lots to the north and south are vacant currently and the property is surrounded by roads. When phase 2 is completed improvements along 206 th are expected, including removal of the existing Maple Crescent Lodge, encroaching on to 206 th Street. Proposed variances to the Subdivision Servicing Bylaw: The existing road right-of-way of Battle Avenue is 18.3 metres. This road right-of-way is required to be a Collector Standard road (20.0 metres wide) due to the proposed institutional use. It is normal practice to acquire road dedication from properties on either side of a road, when a property is being rezoned. It is anticipated that 0.85 metre will be dedicated when the properties on the north of Battle Avenue redevelop in future. The subject site was required to dedicate 0.85 metre of the road right-of-way, which is the variance being sought. The actual width of the physical road will remain the same and is not impacted by the variance sought. The Engineering Department is supporting the variance as all the existing and proposed services can fit within the current road right-of-way of Battle Avenue. The applicant is still required to upgrade Battle Avenue within the existing width. The existing width of Maple Crescent is adequate and no road dedication is required. Proposed variances to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw: As per Maple Ridge Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw No , Schedule A Off-Street Parking Space Requirements, for the P-2 zone, one space is required per 93 m 2 of the gross floor area proposed. A total of 13 parking spaces are required for the proposed total gross floor area. This proposal is anticipated to have a total of 41 beds (after completion of both phases) and 17 beds in phase 1, with three to four staff members at any given time on site. Sometimes volunteers drop in to help. Three parking spaces are proposed in phase 1. When phase 2 will be completed, two additional spaces are anticipated to be added, giving a total of 5 parking spaces for the 41 bed men s facility. As described earlier in this report, a Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centre is for participants who are registered in a 60-day regimented recovery program where driving, vehicle ownership or visitors are prohibited. The on-site parking requirements are minimal and for staff and/or volunteers only. Currently the Hannah House (similar facility for women) has 11 on-site parking spaces for a 44 bed facility, out of which only 4 to 5 spaces are used by the staff at any given time. It is anticipated that some on-street parking may be available along Battle Avenue. Given the parking usage at Hannah House and that the participants of this program are not permitted to drive nor have visitors, the variance to the parking requirements are supportable

109 e) Citizen/Customer Implications: The Development Information Meeting conducted by the owner on July 31, 2013 and the Public Hearing held on September 17, 2013 were opportunities for the neighbourhood to express their concerns regarding the land use. Specific to the variances sought, the mail-outs to inform residents of the proposed variances were mailed 10 days prior to the anticipated Council Meeting date. Concerned residents in the neighbourhood have had the opportunity to voice their opinions. f) Interdepartmental Implications: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department has finalized the Rezoning Servicing Agreement outlining the required off-site services and upgrades such as curb, sidewalk, gutter, street trees, street lights, along Battle Avenue and Maple Crescent, as a condition of final reading. Battle Avenue will not be closed at Maple Crescent as envisioned in the earlier report, it will remain as existing currently as this proved to be a better street design. Some on-street parking for visitors may be available along Battle Avenue. The Engineering staff has no concerns with the proposed variances. Building Department: The Building Department has reviewed the proposal and comments have been provided to the applicant, to be included in the Building Permit application. The Building staff has no concerns with the proposed variances. The on-site landscaping refundable securities will be collected at the Building Permit approval stage as a Development Permit is not required for an institutional use, so there is no mechanism to collect the refundable securities at this stage. Fire Department: The Fire Department has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns with the proposed variances. g) Alternatives: Council has given Third Reading to the rezoning application and will be reviewing the Final Reading Report for RZ at the March 25, 2014 Council Meeting. The developer has paid all the required securities in support of the off-site servicing upgrades. The solicitor has submitted all the legal documents for registration into the Land Title Office. Not approving this proposal would result in the subject site remaining without the proposed site improvements. Council approval is required for the variances as presented in this report prior to a Building Permit being issued. CONCLUSIONS: The development proposal is in compliance with the policies of the Official Community Plan. This proposal will be a joint venture between B. C. Housing and the Innervisions Recovery Society. The applicant has acquired partial funding for this project from the Federal Government through the Homelessness Partnering Strategy (HPS). The proposed facility for men is another initiative to provide this required service in our community

110 The proposed variances are supported by the Planning, Building and Engineering Departments, and the Approving Officer. It is therefore recommended that this application be favourably considered and the Corporate Officer be authorized to sign and seal Development Variance Permit DVP.

113 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: RZ FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: COW SUBJECT: Tandem Parking in the RM-1 Zone Second Reading: Zone Amending Bylaw No and Second and Third Reading: Off-Street Parking & Loading Amending Bylaw No PURPOSE: Following the Public Open House feedback and pursuant to Council s resolution of February 17, 2014, the proposed bylaws that were given first reading on October 8, 2013, have been revised as described in this report and are attached in Appendices A and B. The revisions include the following: clarifying that the driveway apron requirement is applicable to a 2 car enclosed tandem garage (not all tandem arrangements); ensuring some flexibility in the block size restriction; eliminating the 70% restriction on tandem parking; and eliminating the increased amenity area for tandem units. The proposed definition for Tandem Parking and the internal clear garage dimensions remain unchanged. The report also provides alternatives for Council s consideration. RECOMMENDATION: 1) That Zone Amending Bylaw No as amended be given second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing; and 2) That Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No as amended be given second and third reading. DISCUSSION: I. BACKGROUND: In recent years, the District has seen an increase in the number of townhouse development projects with all tandem parking units in the RM-1 zone. Council and neighbourhoods have expressed concerns about the impacts of parking from such developments. Council directed staff to review the use and impacts of tandem parking. The Discussion Paper dated May 27, 2013, reviewed regulations in other municipalities and reviewed concerns with tandem parking in the existing townhouse complexes in the District, including 18 scenarios of tandem parking in the RM-1 zone. The first reading report dated October 7, 2013, recognized that there may be implications from these bylaw amendments and recommended that staff proceed with a Public Open House to seek input from the residents and the 1107

114 development industry. A Public Open House was scheduled on Tuesday, November 13, On February 17, 2014 Council was updated on the open house findings. At this meeting Council passed the following resolution: That Zone Amending Bylaw No and Off-Street parking and Loading Amending bylaw No be revised as per the staff report dated February 17, While the few residents who attended the open house were in general support of the proposed bylaw amendments as worded in the first reading report, none of them live in a townhouse complex and due to the very small proportion of citizen participation, the responses received were not necessarily representative of all the Maple Ridge residents. On the other hand, representation from the development industry was also limited at the open house, however, they expressed concerns with project feasibility and reduction in unit yield if the 70% tandem restriction were to be adopted. The proposed bylaw revisions are an effort to balance the concerns expressed at the open house by both parties. There are also some existing projects that are at various stages of approval that still reflect 100% tandem parking in the RM-1 zone. On a site-specific basis, staff is currently working through several townhouse projects that are making an effort to provide some reasonable proportion of 2-car double wide units (instead of 100% tandem units). II. PROPOSED ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS (APPENDIX A): a) Definition of Tandem Parking: The following definition for tandem parking is to be added to the PART 2 INTERPRETATION section of the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No : TANDEM PARKING USE- means the placement of one parking space behind another parking space, such that only one parking space has unobstructed access to a driveway/road. The above definition allows two arrangements of tandem parking (i.e. a unit with 2-car tandem garage or a unit with one car garage and a tandem parking space on the driveway apron) as shown in the sketches below: and - 2 -

115 b) RM-1 (Townhouse Residential District) zone: Section 602, RM-1, TOWNHOUSE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT be amended by adding the following: g) Townhouses in the RM-1 zone must be limited to six (6) attached units in one block, not to exceed a length of 45 metres (147.5 feet). The open house feedback suggests that there is general support for this amendment that provides flexibility to accommodate any combinations of units and to encourage a mix of unit types (tandem and double) in each block. Allowing a maximum of six (6) attached units per block is a consistent approach followed in other jurisdictions and the District s RST-SV (Street Townhouse-Silver Valley) zone. Block sizes that exceed six units can create a monotonous façade. Smaller blocks of units create well-articulated facades and end units, separated with green buffers in between the blocks that promote natural light and views. Smaller block sizes due to a smaller footprint, may assist efforts to protect more trees on development sites. III. PROPOSED OFF-STREET PARKING AND LOADING BYLAW AMENDMENTS 1 (APPENDIX B): The Off-Street Parking design provisions of the Parking Bylaw for the RM-1 zone, are to be amended as follows: a) Driveway Apron: The bylaw contains an amendment to the design standards to require that a 2-car enclosed tandem garage be provided with a driveway apron. The proposed regulation reads: Section 4.1 (a) vii) Townhouse units with an enclosed 2-car tandem parking garage in the RM-1 zone, other than within the Town Centre Area Plan as shown on Schedule B of the Official Community plan, shall provide a minimum driveway apron of 5.5 metres in length and 3.0 metres in width. The feedback from the open house suggests that a tandem arrangement with a single garage and a second parking space on the driveway apron would be the most feasible option. However, the design featuring a fully enclosed 2-car tandem garage seems to be problematic. This is because of the inner parking space having the potential to be easily converted to storage or habitable area. A driveway apron requirement for this specific unit type may help reduce parking problems. The development industry is concerned about every tandem unit requiring 3 parking spaces if applied to both the tandem unit designs. The recommended revision will require a driveway apron only for the units having an enclosed 2-car tandem garage. With the proposed revision, the development will still have the flexibility of offering a proportion of both types of tandem arrangement based on their marketing plan. 1 1 It should be noted that the amendments to the Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw are not required to go to the Public Hearing. Section 890 of the Local Government Act requires that the Local Government must not adopt an Official Community Plan bylaw or a Zoning Bylaw without holding a Public Hearing. The Off-Street Parking and Loading Bylaw is exempt from this requirement

116 b) Minimum internal clear dimensions for garages: The proposed bylaw amendment will establish the minimum internal clear dimensions for garages in the RM-1 zone. Section 4.1 c) Off-Street parking spaces within a garage, for a townhouse unit in the RM-1 zone, shall have internal dimensions of not less than the following: Single car garage: 3.1 metres wide and 6.1 metres long; Tandem 2-car garage: 3.1 metres wide and 12.2 metres long; Double wide garage: 5.6 metres wide and 6.1 metres long. This regulation is based on standard car sizes and the safe clearance required from the internal garage walls. The Building Department has confirmed these dimensions will work for most standard cars. The feedback from the open house suggests that these dimensions are not adequate for bigger vehicles. Larger vehicles such as trucks, SUVs and extended vans may be parked on the driveway apron. It is also noted that these dimensions are minimums and a developer can make the garages larger should they prefer. IV. INTERDEPARTMENTAL IMPLICATIONS: Engineering Department: The Engineering Department does not have any concerns with the proposed bylaw amendments. Fire Department: The Fire Department confirmed that parking on strata roads is a concern and they are supportive of the driveway apron requirement for a 2-car tandem garage unit. Licenses, Permits and Bylaws Department: The Building Department supports the minimum clear width and depth for single, tandem and double car garage in the RM-1 zone, being added in the existing Parking Bylaw. Regarding parking concerns on strata property, the District relies on the Strata Council to deal with these issues. Sometimes the visitor parking stalls are used by residents or cars are parked within the 6.0 metre wide strata road. In such instances, Strata Councils are responsible for enforcing parking on the property; however they are not always successful. Enforcement will be in accordance with existing Bylaw enforcement regulations and procedures. The District does not enforce parking regulations on strata property. This responsibility falls to each Strata Council to enforce it s own bylaws and regulations, including the on-site parking restrictions. The Building Permit drawings are required to show locations of no parking areas, on the drawings. The Strata Council is expected to prevent tandem parking conversions and the no parking on site where posted

117 V. IN-STREAM DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS REZONING TO RM-1: It is recommended that any in-stream townhouse development applications that have not been presented at a Public Hearing, before final adoption of the proposed bylaws, be permitted to seek a variance if they do not comply. Each development application for the RM-1 zone will be considered by Council on its own merit. VI. CITIZEN/CUSTOMER IMPLICATIONS: The proposed bylaw amendments to the RM-1 zone of the Maple Ridge Zoning Bylaw No will be forwarded to a Public Hearing, while the proposed bylaw amendments to the Off-Street and Loading Bylaw No are not required to be forwarded to a Public Hearing. The citizens will have an opportunity to voice their concerns on the proposed Zoning Bylaw amendments at the Public Hearing. VII. ALTERNATIVES: The following alternatives were raised by Council at the February 17, 2014 Council Workshop. Alternatives to the recommendations made in this report are: Apron length: a) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (applicable to the RM-1 zone) be amended to increase the minimum apron length to 6.0 metres (instead of the proposed 5.5 metres), required for all the units with a fully enclosed 2-car tandem garage; The proposed 6.0 metre minimum driveway apron length (required only for a 2-car fully enclosed tandem garage) will likely prevent larger vehicles from encroaching onto a strata road, but may have an impact on the total unit yield. Visitor Parking: b) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw (applicable to the RM-1 zone) be amended to increase the visitor parking ratio to 0.25 spaces (instead of 0.2 spaces per unit) required per tandem unit; The on-site parking concerns on townhouse sites are mainly due to lack of residential parking spaces due to maximizing tandem units on site, lack of driveway aprons and possible conversions of an internal tandem garage. The District relies on the Strata Council to enforce the visitor parking stalls. Increasing the visitor parking ratio may not adequately resolve lack of on-site parking concerns for the residents

118 70% Tandem Restriction: c) That the proposed Off- Street Parking and Loading Bylaw be amended to include a 70% restriction (or any other proportion restriction) on tandem proportion instead of 100% permitted currently, in the RM-1 zone, except in the Town Centre Area; This approach would likely help encourage a variety of tandem and 2 car double wide garage units within a townhouse complex. It does however; require some creative design, staggering and possibly the use of retaining walls on sloping sites. This requirement was in the Draft Bylaw that was presented at the open house and it was not supported by the development community and the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association. Concerns noted included a resulting negative impact on affordability and/or project feasibility due to reduced density and unit yield for townhouse sites. Restrictive Covenants: d) That Council pass a resolution requiring registering a Restrictive Covenant on the tandem parking space in the RM-1 zone to prohibit conversion to storage/living space. As mentioned earlier in this report, the Strata Councils are responsible for enforcing parking on strata property. A suggestion has been made that a Restrictive Covenant could be an effective tool in discouraging tandem garage conversions into storage/living space. Township of Langley requires a Restrictive Covenant for a tandem space, but the feedback tells us it is challenging to enforce. Enforcing parking regulations on strata property can be challenging for the District. Long-term preservation of tandem parking space cannot necessarily be secured through the use of a Restrictive Covenant. The District solicitor has noted that such enforcement can be very costly and is not a necessarily practical solution. If Council is looking to use a Restrictive Covenant as simply being a means of providing information, this approach may be feasible. However, if the use of a Restrictive Covenant is intended as an effective enforcement tool, this approach is not recommended. CONCLUSION: The Public Open House was a good opportunity for residents and developers to understand Council s concerns with tandem parking and an opportunity to comment on the proposed regulations. The proposed block size restriction and driveway apron requirement for all the enclosed 2-car tandem garage units could address concerns with on-site and off-site parking. Alternatives to the recommendations in this report are stated above, for Council consideration. Based on the open house feedback, it is recommended that the proposed revisions to the bylaw amendments be favourably considered. The proposed bylaw amendments are meant to achieve a balance for providing for additional space on townhouse sites without impacting the unit yield or project feasibility for the development community. The proposed amendments also introduce a maximum block size and minimum internal garage dimensions that was generally supportable by the community. On a site-specific basis, staff is currently working through several in- stream townhouse projects that are making an - 6 -

119 effort to provide some reasonable proportion of 2-car double wide units (instead of 100% tandem units). It is recommended that Zone Amending Bylaw No as amended be given second reading and forwarded to Public Hearing, and the Off-Street Parking and Loading Amending Bylaw No as amended be given second and third reading.

123 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW SUBJECT: Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the December 2, 2013 Workshop, Council received an update on the preparation of a new Smoking Bylaw. At that meeting Council provided feedback on the proposed Bylaw and specific changes were made to reflect the discussion in Workshop. The purpose of this report is to bring back the amended proposed Bylaw for Council s consideration and any further discussion that may be warranted. The Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No should be rescinded in its entirety as it is outdated and is no longer supported by Provincial legislation. RECOMMENDATION(S): THAT Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No be given first, second and third readings; and THAT Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No is forwarded to the Minister of Health for approval. DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: The most recent amendments to the Tobacco Control Act regarding the prohibition of smoking were passed in the legislature in 2007, 2008 and These amendments provide local government with the ability to ban smoking within at least 3 meters of commercial and municipal buildings as well as municipal parks and playgrounds. If a local government wishes to expand on that distance they may do so. The regulations are more stringent now in prohibiting both indoor and outdoor smoking. Additionally, Work Safe BC has tightened up their enforcement requirements for areas of business and work. The only indoor areas that are not governed by this legislation are dwelling units as defined under the Zoning Bylaw; a hotel or motel room designated for smoking; enclosed premises not open to the public where the occupants are the owner or owners of the business carried on in the premises. All other premises are non-smoking areas within certain distances from buildings or places. Currently, Fraser Health is doing enforcement under the Tobacco Control Act Regulation however strictly from an educational approach. They have extremely limited resources focused in this area. This includes monitoring businesses for infractions regarding the selling of tobacco as well as monitoring smoking in public places. However their principle focus is the selling of tobacco to minors. The attached table set out in Appendix I compares neighbouring municipalities. Page 1 of

124 There is a range among municipalities with regard to the distance within which smoking is prohibited. The distance previously recommended was 6 metres. The proposed distance has been amended to 7.5 metres to reflect the discussion at the December 2, 2013 Workshop. This distance matches the distance in Pitt Meadows Bylaw which makes it easier for our residents and those of Pitt Meadows to follow when sharing our trails, parks and facilities. The proposed Bylaw is mainly an educational enactment for the most part. In most jurisdictions, the Health Inspectors and the Business Licence Department take on a significant amount of the educational component, resources permitting. For continuity sake the staff positions named in the bylaw as having the authority to enforce are the Medical Health Officers, or their delegates, Bylaw Enforcement Officers, members of the local RCMP and members of the local Fire Department and any other staff person designated by Council. This is to ensure that all staff members in an enforcement field are aware of the regulations and can easily pass them along to the public. Specific signage is another required component of this proposed Bylaw and in most other municipalities either the Health Unit has picked up the cost of signage or they have worked with the BC Lung Association in having the signs created and then it is a local staff function to conduct the educational component including distributing the required signs to the individual businesses. The District of Maple Ridge would be required to post their own signs in areas where smoking is not permitted on municipal property including parks and playgrounds that is different than the current regulations. b) Desired Outcome(s): The changes in the bylaw will ensure that the District of Maple Ridge Bylaw is in alignment with current Provincial legislation. c) Alternatives: Do not adopt Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No and use the Provincial statute as written, leaving it up to the Province for complete enforcement, and provide staff with further direction. CONCLUSIONS: Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw No is outdated and does not align with the current Provincial Tobacco Control Act. Because of this, it should be rescinded in its entirety regardless of whether this new Bylaw is adopted. The adoption of the new Maple Ridge Smoking Regulation Bylaw will bring the District s regulations in line with the Provincial regulations. Original signed by E.S. (Liz) Holitzki Approved by: E.S.

143 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin MEETING DATE: March 17, 2014 and Members of Council FROM: Chief Administrative Officer MEETING: CoW SUBJECT: Shaw Wi-Fi Proposal EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Shaw Communications has approached the District about installing a wireless internet service in public areas (ie Wi-Fi). District staff and Shaw representatives have discussed the characteristics of what that may look like. An agreement with Shaw will benefit the District. Although the Wi-Fi service will be a complimentary service mainly for Shaw internet customers, and will not be available to others, it will have the benefit of a free public service component in the downtown institutional core of the community. In this area, bounded by the Bus Loop to Spirit Square, it will give citizens the latest in communication capabilities and provide a convenience to the public, businesses and staff alike. However, Shaw recognizes that the agreement would not be exclusive, the District would be free to accommodate other Wi-Fi service providers if approached. Beyond the downtown core, the District will receive revenue for the installation of each Access Point (ie radio) on an annual basis. Some of the locations may not be feasible as they may be controlled by others (eg School District), or have practical limitations (eg no power). However, given the proposed roll-out of locations, the potential exists for $12,640 of annual revenue once all the District controlled sites are completed. There will be staff review of each of the proposed locations to ensure the location is appropriate, that the installation is proper, and that operation and maintenance is considered. As well, there may be other locations that should be considered. Although there are positive features to this proposal, staff have concerns about the collection and use of personal information. To utilize the free public guest access service around the community core, a user must create a basic profile including name, address, phone number and valid address. There are public concerns around access to, and use of, personal information. Although Shaw is concerned about who is on their wireless network, there are other ways to monitor usage and manage problem users. It is recommended Council instruct staff to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications outlining the key characteristics of the understanding as noted in this memo and attached as Appendix 1, Shaw Letter of Commitment, except for the 4 th bullet, the collection of personal information for guest access, and include those general locations noted in Appendix 2, Locations of Interest

144 RECOMMENDATIONS: THAT staff be directed to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications to provide a Wi-Fi service utilizing District properties in accordance with the commitments noted in the Letter of Commitment in Appendix 1 of the staff report dated March 17, 2014, with the exception of the collection and use of personal information for public access; and THAT the range of District properties for inclusion of the new service be supported as noted in Appendix 2, Locations of Interest, of the staff report dated March 17, DISCUSSION: a) Background Context: Shaw Communications is developing a Wi-Fi network 1. The objectives are to offer the service as a value-add to Shaw internet customers and to take advantage of mobility trends 2. This service will allow any Shaw internet customer to wirelessly connect their mobile computer to the internet for free wherever there is a Shaw Wi-Fi network connection, like in businesses, parks, on public streets, etc. Shaw has implemented portions of the wireless network by negotiating agreements with small businesses, throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere, to host their equipment and offer a hotspot service 3. This piecemeal approach will create a mosaic of hotspots that eventually will need to be filled-in to form complete outdoor and business coverage for Shaw cable customers in select areas. A key part of their strategy is to fill-in the gaps in the network by placing Wi-Fi gear in, or on, public assets like streetlights, public buildings, parks, recreation centres, and other public assembly locations. This approach will allow them to standardize the service and build-out the coverage much quicker. It is recognized that Wi-Fi signals are unregulated and there is potential for conflict with other Wi-Fi installations, but Shaw has committed to work with affected users to ensure appropriate sharing of the airwaves. Shaw also understands that the potential agreement will not be exclusive to Shaw and it s customers. Should another Wi-Fi network provider approach the District for the installation of equipment, the District would review the effort in a similar manner to that used for the Shaw service. Shaw has negotiated agreements for the service with many cities in Western Canada and is actively pursuing many of the larger communities in British Columbia. They have approached Maple Ridge for a review of opportunities to install their Wi-Fi services in select public assembly locations and we have developed a letter of commitment attached as Appendix 1. Shaw has proposed the installation of Access Points (ie radios) in the locations identified in Appendix 2. Although there are some limitations to the proposed locations and the ability of the District to control the sites, generally we are in agreement. However, each site will need to be 1 See definition of Wi-Fi : < 2 See Globe and Mail article on Shaw business strategy: < 3 See Shaw Go Wi-Fi locations: < 2

145 specifically investigated for feasibility of the service, so some adjustments to which sites are implemented is inevitable. The key features of our draft proposal are: 1. Shaw will pay $40/year per indoor access point. 2. Shaw will pay $200/year per outdoor access point. 3. Shaw has agreed that the District Freetown wireless footprint will be rebuilt and run by Shaw as a free guest service to all of a performance equal to that offered to Shaw customers. This wireless coverage is to include the institutional core of the community, including the inside of District owned buildings, from the bus loop to the Spirit Square locations. To use the free guest access to the Shaw Wi-Fi service around our institutional core, a user would need to register. This registration process would see a guest user fill out a form requiring name, address, phone number and address, which is collected by Shaw. Once they activate a link in a validating , they will be redirected to the District website which will not contain advertising. From there, the guest user will be able to go to other websites if desired. Although Shaw has agreed to limit the collection of personal data to the creation of a profile for log-in purposes, staff has concerns about the collection of personal information as it is a high-profile public concern enabling unwanted marketing opportunities, and tracking of the user. According to Shaw representatives, the collection of such personal information is necessary to track usage and manage risk. From a staff perspective, the collection of such information should be optional. A true public service is unfettered and inclusive. b) Desired Outcome: Council support for proceeding with an agreement with Shaw for the establishment of their equipment onto select District assets utilizing the framework of commitments noted in the appended Shaw letter. Council direction on whether they would support the collection of personal information for access to a guest service.. c) Strategic Alignment: Private Wi-Fi networks are very common. Many businesses and residences have wireless internet access utilizing the Wi-Fi standard. Public wireless networks are not as common but are expected to experience a resurgence. There are advantages to promoting such wireless services: - economic development; - community building; - promoting use of technology and improved communications; - drive traffic to the District website; - raise secondary revenue. However, it is important to keep in mind that the proposed Wi-Fi network is not a public service. It is for Shaw customers, with restricted access for guest users in a select area. It can be considered commercializing public air waves, since the Wi-Fi radio standard is unlicenced. However, there is a significant benefit to a large portion of District residents (eg Shaw customers), and it includes a limited public access element. 3

146 d) Interdepartmental Implications: Prior to implementation, District staff from the Engineering and Operations Departments, as well as the IT Department, Parks, Facilities, and Permits, will need to meet with Shaw staff to go over the details of specific locations for outdoor and indoor radios in terms of mounting, power access, connectivity, inspection, operation and ongoing management. e) Business Plan/Financial Implications: If all the sites the District controls are implemented as planned, the District will receive about $12,640 per year from the agreement, plus the public guest access in the institutional core around Memorial Peace Park. This will be from a combination of 88 total radio installations, comprised of 57 outdoor and 31 indoor locations. The network may be expanded over time and that may raise additional revenue. As well, the Freetown wireless service will be absorbed and operated by Shaw thereby eliminating support and equipment costs borne by the District. Health Concerns: Concerns have been expressed about the potential health impacts of radio frequency emissions (RF). Given current scientific evidence, public health officials conclude that exposure to common electromagnetic fields, such as from FM radio, baby monitors, cell phones, Wi-Fi and SMART meters, does not constitute a threat to public health 4. The RF exposure levels of Shaw Wi-Fi equipment are well below Canadian and international standards. Alternatives: Shaw has identified certain facilities and streets where public use will be high. These are their preferred locations to introduce their new Wi-Fi service. If the free public service in the downtown core is not agreeable, the alternatives are: 1. Negotiate a pure commercial agreement. Limit the discussions to revenue considerations only. 2. Negotiate free public access everywhere the service is located. This will not yield any secondary revenue. 3. Do not agree to accommodate the Shaw Wi-Fi service. With respect to the collection of personal information during the creation of a user profile for guest access, the only alternative could be to require anonymous guest access, or to require the collection of such information to be optional. This approach, to staff, would constitute a true, unfettered, inclusive public service. 4 See Appendix 3, and < and < 4

147 CONCLUSIONS: The proposed agreement with Shaw will benefit the District. Although the Wi-Fi service will be a complimentary service mainly for Shaw internet customers, and will not be available to others, it will have the benefit of a limited free public service component in the downtown institutional core of the community. In this area, it will give citizens the latest in communication capabilities and provide a convenience to citizens, businesses and staff alike. However, Shaw recognizes that the agreement would not be exclusive; the District would be free to accommodate other Wi-Fi service providers if approached. Unfortunately, to access the free public guest service, a user will have to register a limited profile and surrender private information. Staff preference would be to have this profile creation step become optional, as it will then be perceived as an inclusive public service with a minimum of difficulty. Beyond the downtown core, the District will receive revenue for the installation of each access point (ie radio) on an annual basis. Some of the locations may not be feasible as they may be controlled by others (eg Planet Ice), or have practical limitations (eg no power). However, given the proposed roll-out of locations, the potential exists for $12,640 of annual revenue once all the District controlled sites are completed. There will be staff review of each of the proposed locations to ensure the location is appropriate, that the installation is proper, and that operation and maintenance is considered. It is recommended Council instruct staff to prepare an agreement with Shaw Communications outlining the key characteristics of the understanding as noted in this memo and attached as Appendix 1, Shaw Letter of Commitment, for the locations described in Appendix 2, incorporating Council desires on the collection of personal information.

154 District of Maple Ridge TO: His Worship Mayor Ernie Daykin DATE: March 25, 2014 and Members of Council FILE NO: /LAUT FROM: Chief Administrative Officer ATTN: Council SUBJECT: RESULTS OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS FOR CITY CLASSIFICATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As directed by Council at its January 28, 2014 meeting, approval of the electors to change the classification of Maple Ridge from a District Municipality to a City was sought through the alternative approval process. The deadline for submission of elector response forms was 4:00 p.m. March 17, In order for Council to proceed with a request to the Province for re-classification less than 5,375 responses had to be submitted. The number of responses submitted was 3. As a result Council may proceed with the request. The Province has indicated it could take 6-9 months to complete the drafting of the letters patent and concluding the Cabinet process. Assistance of our local MLA s will be sought to expedite the process. RECOMMENDATION: WHEREAS the Corporate Officer has certified that approval of the electors to change the classification of Maple Ridge from a District Municipality to a City was obtained through the alternative approval process; NOW THEREFORE be it resolved as follows: That the Manager of Legislative Services be authorized to write a letter to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, with copies to MLA s Marc Dalton and Doug Bing, requesting that the classification of Maple Ridge be changed from a District Municipality to a City. DISCUSSION The Lieutenant Governor in Council may, by letters patent, change the classification of the municipality. This request may be made only after the municipality has obtained the approval of the electors which the municipality has successfully done through the alternative approval process. As identified in the report to Council dated January 20, 2014 costs to make this change are minimal. The largest expense would normally be changing signage and stationery. The corporate logo does not reference District so estimated costs are minimal ($3,000). Original signed by Ceri Marlo Prepared by: Ceri Marlo, C.M.C.
