Silver Valley (Maple Ridge)

This is the planned upland community on the north side of Maple Ridge. The City plans it as a river village, three hamlets and eco-clusters at their edges, on a forested hillside.

Silver Valley, framed on its OpenStreetMap boundary. The four neighbourhoods are separate on purpose, because creeks and steep ground divide the valley.

A river village and three hamlets

River Village

The plan makes River Village the focal point of the valley, with the services every part of Silver Valley shares. It sits in the central sector, beside Forest Hamlet.

Blaney Hamlet

Blaney Hamlet is the west sector, on the west side of the North Alouette River and just east of Blaney Bog. The plan centres it at 232 Street and about 137 Avenue and gives it three neighbourhoods. Blaney Hamlet Park is at 13712 230A Street.

Forest Hamlet

Forest Hamlet is the central sector, on the upper slopes beside the UBC research forest. A large creek divides it, and trails join the two sides. The plan gives it three neighbourhoods.

Horse Hamlet

Horse Hamlet is the east sector, inside a crescent of the Alouette River next to an entry to Golden Ears Provincial Park. Streams split it into separate pockets. The plan puts a commercial precinct at 128 Avenue and Fern Crescent.

Eco-Clusters

Eco-Clusters are small groups of homes at the edges of the hamlets, surrounded by open space and reached by a single local road. The plan keeps them to ground flatter than 20% where it can, to save trees.

What the plan allows on a lot

In the Eco-Cluster and Ground-Oriented Residential designations, the plan supports single detached, duplex, triplex and fourplex homes, plus secondary suites and garden suites. The provincial small-scale multi-unit rules limit this by water and sewer access and lot size, and parts of Silver Valley have servicing limits. So the designation is a starting point. Ask the City what a specific lot can do before you pay for the extra units.

Creeks decide where homes go

Two creek systems, the North Alouette River and Millionaire Creek, split Silver Valley into the three sectors the plan builds around. Chum, coho and pink salmon use the rivers and creeks.

The plan calls for setbacks of varying widths around watercourses and for keeping trees. If a lot backs onto a creek, ask the City which setbacks and development permit areas apply before you plan a build.

Schools

Silver Valley is in School District 42 (Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows). Yennadon Elementary is at 23347 128 Avenue. The district sets catchments by address, so use its school locator for the exact home.
