Protected Areas

To identify areas of Dedicated Parks and Covenants that have been protected for environmental reasons. The Protected Areas feature class was created to help the Planners to more easily identify areas within Maple Ridge that have been protected for environmental reasons. A Dedicated Park that was meant for public use would not be included, but a Dedicated Park that was created for watercourse protection would be part of the Protected Areas feature class. The reasoning for Dedicated Parks that are included is from information provided by the Planners as well as from personnel that have knowledge of the parks in Maple Ridge. In cases where part of a Dedicated Park is for public use and another part of the Park is for environmental protection, that portion of the park was extracted to be part of the Protected Area. Covenants created for slope, geotech, vegetation retention, habitat protection etc, would be included in the Protected Area feature class, whereas covenants for septic systems would not be included. The reasoning for the covenant, if stated on the Legal Plan would be attributed as such. There will be occurrences where there is no reasoning for either but was understood that those areas were protected for environmental purposes. For this feature class, Ownership is defined as Crown, City Entire Lot, City Estimated, and Private. Crown = Parcels with no legal information, crown land, City Entire Lot = Dedicated Parks that encompass an entire lot/parcel, City Estimated = A portion of a Dedicated Park that is not an entire lot/parcel, the area was estimated based on orthophoto, and Private = Covenants created for environmental protection
