Commercial activity in the Maple Ridge residential neighborhood
Summary
A homeowner wanted to run ticketed Christmas home tours with shuttle service and limited merchandise sales, and neighbors argued it amounted to retail use of a residence. The board sided with neighbors, finding the plan out of step with the residential character of the historic district.

Impact analysis
A portion of tour proceeds would have gone to Family and Children's Services' holiday assistance program, but no city money is involved.
Residents who opposed the tours keep their streets free of shuttle traffic and tour crowds this holiday season.
The applicant loses her planned fundraiser and holiday event, and the charity partner loses a planned giving stream.
