Where the rules are easier

Parking
No resident parking minimum in the three TOAs

Port Haney and Maple Meadows West Coast Express stations and the Haney Place exchange. 235 of the 831 lots sit inside one. The future BRT stations are not TOAs.

Setbacks
0 m sides in C-3 and CRM

The mixed-use and core designations point to C-3 Town Centre Commercial, where apartments are a principal use with 0 m front and side setbacks, but on 1,672 m² and 36 m of width. CRM, in Port Haney and on the waterfront, allows the same on 668 m² and 18 m of width, a single lot in places. 216 house lots sit in those designations.

Coverage
No coverage limit in RM-2 and RM-3

The apartment zones set no lot coverage limit (Bylaw 7827-2022); their 7.5 m setbacks on every side do the limiting. C-3 and CRM allow 90%, or 100% where the parking is provided.

Use the Highlight buttons above the map to pick these lots out. Click any lot for the zone it has now, the zone it would need, and links to the bylaw pages.

All three are exchange-type TOAs. Tier 4 within 200 m allows 12 storeys at 4.0 FAR; Tier 5 at 200 to 400 m allows 8 storeys at 3.0. No resident parking can be required inside them.

Town Centre Apartment sits 350 to 1,400 m from the exchange, median 617 m, mostly just outside the 400 m TOA. An 800 m SkyTrain-style TOA would have covered two thirds of it.

What this means

On a 21 m Maple Ridge lot, 7.5 m side setbacks leave 6 m. RM-2 also needs 30 m of frontage, and the Lougheed plan states a 2,000 m² minimum assembly outright. The Town Centre Apartment text describes the double-loaded corridor building by name. Of the cities looked at, Maple Ridge is the most explicit about requiring assembly.
