Description

A request to run ticketed Christmas home tours over two weekends with shuttle service from Utica Square was denied after neighbors argued it was retail activity tied to the owner's two stores.

Impact summary

The Board of Adjustment denied it on Aug 25, 2026.

Maple Ridge neighbors avoid an estimated several hundred tour visitors and shuttle traffic over nine days; the applicant cannot host the tours this year.
