FALLS CLERKS '00 0623 jj :33 The City of Niagara Falls Canadaj The subject lands are zoned Tourist Commercial in accordance to By -law 79 -200, as amended. The applicable zoning of this property does not list a carnival as a permitted use. In fact, the defined terms of "Place of Entertainment" and "Recreation Use being permitted uses within a Tourist Commercial zone, defines those uses in a manner which specifically prohibits "carnival ride uses With respect to the carnival uses that have been permitted to operate from the Lyons Park in Chippawa; Optimist Park on Dorchester Road; and Stamford Park at Portage Road and St. Paul Avenue; these sites have been used for many years and have been licensed as a "grandfather use" or as a legal non conforming use. It should be noted that these activities were sponsored by non profit organizations and would only operate for a weekend. I have been advised that a "carnival ride use" operated at the former "Gerber Baby Foods" site one or two years ago, for a short period of time and without a municipal license. WC:gd c. E. C.

An application for site plan approval has been received from Classic 59 Investments for a 2.66 acre site on the northeast corner of Stanley Avenue and Church's Lane. The site is currently occupied by an existing 6,330 square foot car wash. The developer is now proposing to construct a 24,400 square foot mini storage warehouse facility. The development is to be constructed in two phases: two buildings, one east of the car wash and one to the north, totalling about 10,500 square feet, will first be built; the remaining three buildings will then be built further north on the property. The developer recently received approval from the Committee of Adjustment for relief to the parking requirements for this proposal. As the appeal period for the minor variance will expire on or about July 5, 2000, the site plan approval application has been brought before Council at this time in order to expedite the approval process. Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director PD- 2000 -71 June 26, 2000 The site plan drawings have been satisfactorily reviewed by the Site Plan Technical Committee and Regional Public Works and as such, approval is recommended.

BACKGROUND: An application for site plan approval has been received from Panoramic Hospitality Inc. for the Comfort Suites hotel development on the southwest corner of Oakes Drive and Dunn Street. Council recently approved the rezoning and amending by -law for this development. This application also affects the lands on the northeast corner of Dunn Street and Cleveland Avenue that are to be utilized for off -site parking. Because the off -site parking lands are licensed from the Ontario Hydro Networks Company Inc. (Hydro), the site plan agreement will include a clause requiring the owner to provide altemative parking within 180 days of termination of the licence. A traffic impact study for this and the Minolta Tower development (owned by a company affiliated with the applicant) was conducted as part of the site planning process. The study found that, because of the increased traffic generation created by the Comfort Suites and Minolta Tower developments, Dunn Street will have to be widened to a four -lane cross section between Oakes Drive and Stanley Avenue, with the additional westbound lane being extended to the entrance to the off -site parking lot, just east of Cleveland Avenue. The eastbound approach to Stanley Avenue is also to be widened west of the intersection so that the west cross section of Dunn Street can align with the east cross section. Provision for these off -site works will be made within the section 37 agreement with the applicant. Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director PD- 2000 -72 June 26, 2000 The site plan drawings have been satisfactorily reviewed by the Site Plan Technical Committee and Regional Niagara Public Works and, as such, approval is recommended.

In a letter dated May 3, 2000, Mr. Phil Fisher submitted a request on behalf of the owners to remove these properties on the west side of Willoughby Drive from Part Lot Control (see attached letter and location map). This process enables the division of lots or blocks within a registered plan of subdivision. The general intent of removing Part Lot Control is for the minor redesign of subdivision lots or the separation of semi detached or on- street townhouse units. The subject land is within an older registered plan of subdivision in Chippawa. A land severance has been approved to combine the rear section of these lots with property to the south for future residential subdivision development. Building permits were issued in January 2000 for the two semi detached dwellings (4 units) on the front portion of the lots. Through the construction process, separate connections for watermains and sewer laterals were provided for each unit. The attached Reference Plan (59R- 11037) shows the configuration of the lots, foundations and centreline of the common wall between the units. The land is appropriately zoned R2 (Residential Single Family and Two Family) and the building setbacks satisfy the zoning by -law provisions. Approval of the Part Lot Control by -law is required so that property lines can be created between the dwelling units to allow their sale with each unit having a separate deed. Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director June 26, 2000 CONCLUSION: The removal of Part Lot Control will permit the division of the land to allow separate ownership of each semi detached unit. The use of this Planning Act mechanism is appropriate in this case. The applicant should advise the City when the land transactions described in this report have been completed in order to repeal the Part Lot Control by -law. [f Council approves the recommendations of this report, the appropriate by -law to designate the land as exempt from Part Lot Control is included in tonight's Council agenda to allow the sale of these units to be completed as soon as possible.

BACKGROUND: The City of Niagara Falls has a municipal bingo policy that has been in effect since 1986. This policy has been amended on many occasions as changes to the bingo market and changes to Provincial regulations have arisen. The attached bingo policy includes the recent changes to the bingo event calendar and the trial period for special packaging. In addition, two sections of the policy have had substantial revisions. They are as follows: 1. Section 2 Amendments Pricing of Cards In this section, the City has approved the sales of specially packaged books and special game paper. Built into this policy are safeguards such as minimum price limits and a review period to determine success, before any pricing package becomes permanent. 2. Section 10 Penalties In this section, the original penalties were: 1 occurrence 3 month suspension 2°d occurrence 6 month suspension 3 occurrence Indefinite suspension CD- 2000 -17 E.C. Wagg, C.M.O. City Clerk ...2 With the increased presence of the Alcohol and Gaming Enforcement Division, compliance with the Provincial Terms and Conditions had become increasingly important. The new penalty policy is to ensure compliance with all terms and conditions. It is intended to deal with habitual non compliance by a few organizations. These violations include both those at the bingo hall and those with the municipal licensing authority. The penalties are imposed on a gradual basis, based on the severity and frequency of the infractions. The policy also allows organizations to correct any problems and have their good status reinstated after a prescribed period of time. The changes to the municipal bingo policy will provide for consistency in the operation of bingo events by all organizations and ensure compliance with Provincial and Municipal terms and conditions.

MULTIPLE BINGOS -2- SECTION 1 AUXILIARY ORGANIZATIONS DEFINITION FOR LOTTERY LICENSING PURPOSES An auxiliary is an organization that is an offshoot of another organization. One organization is referred to as the parent organization and the other organization is the auxiliary. To be considered as a complete separate entity and not an auxiliary, an organization must be able to legitimately stand on its own and the following criteria should be met before consideration will be given to their status. Its own Constitution/Bylaws/Charter/Letters Patent It should have its own Board of Directors or Principal Officers A separate incorporation if organization is incorporated in the Province of Ontario It should have its own charitable aims and objectives. Criteria that would result in an organization being considered auxiliary are: Joint financial support of one facility Identical signing officers Similar aims and objectives Joint funding of projects No separate incorporation PRICING OF CARDS -3- SECTION 2 AMENDMENTS, The minimum book price will be $3.00 per strip unless the book is part of a "special package A special package is a particular grouping of book and specials sold at a reduced price. Packages can be restrictive (a pre packaged group of books and specials sold together) or non restrictive (specials sold separately from the book). The average spend associated with the package will be a minimum of $25.00. Where a special package consists of special game cards only, the cost of the package cannot be less than 2/3 of the original price, if cards were purchased individually. Where a special package, including books and specials has been implemented, the monies allotted to the books shall not be less than 2/3 of the normal book price. (ie. $18.00 book will have a minimum of $12.00 allotted to book sales). All bingo hall operators must sign off on any proposed special package. The proposal then requires Municipal approval prior to implementation. This procedure should eliminate any "price or paper wars" Special packages will be permitted for a six (6) month trial period. The special package will be reviewed at the three (3) and six (6) month interval. Continuation of the special package will be determined based on the success of the trial period. Charity profit must either remain level or increase over the trial period for the trial to be considered a success. Failure to meet these levels will result in the cancellation of the special package. PROGRAM CHANGES -4- During the trial period for any special package(s) reports are to be provided to the Clerk's Department, by the 10th of each month and said reports should include for each session the following information: attendance average spend Super Jackpot number Charity Net Profit Hall Rent Program changes will be allowed at the start of each licensing period. In addition, two additional changes will be allowed during that quarter and must remain in effect for a minimum of four (4) weeks. Any request must be received in the Clerk's Department a minimum of seven (7) days prior to commencement of said change. The seven (7) period may be waived at the discretion of the licensing authority, if it is determined that the seven (7) day delay would result in a financial hardship to the bingo licensees. Changes of a minor nature, that do not affect the prices or the total prizes to be awarded, may be done verbally by the licensing authority, with written approval to follow. Changes of a significant nature, that affect the prices and/or the total prizes awarded will require a written request and must include a letter signed by all bingo licensees affected by the change. The page on which the signatures appear must provide detail as to what the requested change is. Verbal permission can be granted, with written permission to follow, if necessary. If it is determined that a change has had a detrimental affect to the bingo licensees, the condition that the change remain in effect for four (4) weeks may be waived at the discretion of the licensing authority. -5- SECTION #3 BANKING PROCEDURES The bingo procedures, in addition to the Provincial regulations as they relate to the banking practices of the bingo licensees are as follows: Copies of the American and Canadian bank statements and copies of the canceled cheques are to be supplied to the Clerk's Department by the 15t of the month following the month in which they are issued. Where an organization chooses to operate from one designated lottery trust account system, in addition to the copies of the bank statements and canceled cheques, copies of the individual ledgers must be submitted monthly. Once a year a budget or proposed budget is to be submitted to the licensing authority for the following year. This is to be submitted to the licensing authority prior to the issuance of a bingo licence for the next calendar year. Where a budget year conflicts with the calendar year and no budget is available, written notification of this fact and an indication on when submission of this budget will occur. An executive list or Board of Directors is to be submitted to the licensing authority on yearly basis. This is to be submitted to the licensing authority prior to the issuance of a bingo licence for the next calendar year. Where an election of new officers has not taken place, a written notification is required which contains the date of election of officers and an anticipated date of submission of this information. Any organization that ceases to remain in the bingo business, is required to submit all banking documents and/or ledgers on a monthly basis until such time as all funds have been dispersed from the lottery trust account. Proof of account closure will also be required. SECTION 4 BUSING OF BINGO PATRONS The practice of busing of patrons to bingo will not be permitted.

"Should a customer declare a winning bingo in which they have "3 lines" for a one (1) or two (2) line game, then the customer is entitled to only 1 share of the prize i.e "One win per face" for that portion of the game. This does not preclude a customer from winning 2 separate portions of the game with these lines, if the second portion of the game involves a specific grouping of lines i.e. letter L, letter T etc." The Ciiy of Niagara Falls Canad� iii His Worship Mayor Wayne Thomson and Members of Municipal Council, City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Members: RECOMMENDATION: REPORT: Prepared by: S.M.

In 1927, Alexander Park Plan of Subdivision was registered as Plan No. 337. The subdivision is located on the west side of the Niagara Parkway south of Sherk Road in the former Township of Willoughby. In order to control development of land in this area, the City passed a By -law in 1980 to deem this plan of subdivision not to be registered. Lubbertas Vantfoort and Edith Vantfoort purchased Lots 329, 330 and 331 on Plan No. 337 in 1968. Solicitors for the Estate Trustees of the Estate of Edith Vantfoort, surviving joint tenant of the subject lots, have indicated that the subject lots have no market value, and are completely land locked, in what is now an undeveloped parcel of property. They have contacted the City with a view to having the subject lots formally deeded to the City, for nominal consideration. The subject lots are shown hatched on a partial copy of Plan No. 337 attached. L- 2000 -52 Staff is looking into uses for other lots currently owned by the City in the same subdivision.

PD- 2000 -74 1) Council concur, by resolution, that the changes proposed to By -law No. 2000 -59 and the terms of the Minutes of Settlement are acceptable; 2) the Mayor and Clerk or designates be authorized to sign the Minutes of Settlement; and 3) Staff be directed to advise the Ontario Municipal Board of Council's decision. BACKGROUND: On March 6, 2000, Council passed By -law No. 2000 -59. The purpose of the by -law is to amend the site specific Shopping Centre Commercial (SC- 391 -486) zoning of the land known as 7190 Morrison Street by adding additional site specific provisions (502). The by -law would permit a maximum of 5 rather than 4 buildings to be constructed on the land and allow up to 8 retail stores to be established on the land having a gross leasable floor area of less than 5,000 square feet. On March 29, 2000, the City received an appeal to the by -law from Mr. V. F. Muratori on behalf of River Realty Development (1976) Inc., the owners /developer of the Mount Carmel Shopping Centre. Council has subsequently reaffirmed, by resolution, the passing of the by -law and the appeal has been forwarded to the Ontario Municipal Board. Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director June 26, 2000 Representatives of First Niagara Developments Limited and River Realty Development (1976) Inc. have met and wish to settle the appeal. The parties have agreed to changes to the by -law that would allow 5 retail stores, rather than 8 retail stores, and require the retail stores to be located within one building. The parties propose to document these changes within Minutes of Settlement and have asked the City to be a party to the Minutes because it affects our by -law. First Niagara Developments Limited plans to register a restrictive covenant against title to the land outlining the terms of the settlement. They also intend to apply to the Ontario Municipal Board for an order giving affect to the Minutes of Settlement. CONCLUSION: Council passed By -law No. 2000 -59 in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act based on staff's recommendation report, comments from various agencies and individuals and submissions made during the Public Meeting. Staff are not adverse to the changes proposed to By -law No. 2000- 59 and the proposed settlement of the appeal because the parties involved are in agreement. The adoption of a resolution to indicate that Council concurs with the changes to the by -law is recommended.

BACKGROUND: PD- 2000 -75 The Recine Court Plan of Subdivision is situated southwest of Beaverdams Road and north of Lundy's Lane (see location map). The plan consists of 20 single- detached lots on a long cul -de -sac extension of Spring Blossom Drive (see street and lot layout Schedule 2). Council granted draft approval to the subdivision, with conditions, on May 8, 2000 (PD- 2000 -58). This decision was circulated as required by the Planning Act and no appeals were received. Draft approval for the plan became effective May 31, 2000. Concerns regarding a subdivision requirement for a walkway connection to Beaverdams Road emerged when the City's Committee of Adjustment considered severance applications on abutting land owned by the developer (Files B 19 /2000/NF and B20 /2000/NF). Neighbours and the developer cited noise, maintenance and debris concems associated with walkways and also submitted a petition and letter of objection. The severance applications were adjourned in order to examine implications to the related subdivision if the walkway was eliminated. The developer has now submitted a formal request as permitted by the Planning Act to remove the walkway condition from the subdivision approval (see attached letter). Working Together to Serve Our Community June 26, 2000 PLANNING REVIEW: As part of the review of the Recine Court Plan of Subdivision, staff presented alternate street layouts including a through street to Beaverdams Road and also a design with 2 short cul -de -sacs. These concepts eliminated the long cul -de -sac which is generally not preferred from an emergency access and maintenance perspective. However, these options were not desirable from the developer's standpoint. The negotiated compromise with the developer's agent was the submitted street pattem, with the addition of a walkway to provide a secondary access to the cul -de -sac and pedestrian linkage to the surrounding neighbourhood. Given the strong objection of the existing residents on Beaverdams Road, and after further consideration by City staff, the deletion of Condition #11 of draft approval (plan modifications to provide a walkway connection) is acceptable. In addition, with the removal of the walkway, sidewalks on the cul -de -sac are no longer required due to the limited number of lots served and maintenance costs. Pedestrian movements can be accommodated along nearby Magnolia Drive to Beaverdams Road. Therefore, Condition #5 (sidewalk locations) should also be deleted. CONCLUSION: The request to remove the walkway condition from the Recine Court subdivision is acceptable, and also necessitates the removal of sidewalks in the development. The proposed change of conditions is minor and Council should confirm that no further public notice of the change is required. Staff advised members of the public who submitted letters or attended meetings related to the subdivision or severances that this matter was coming before Council tonight.

BACKGROUND: The City has received two appeals to Zoning By -law No. 2000 -103 which would: 1) permit the construction of a new 30- storey hotel on the lands north of the Marriott Hotel; 2) cap the maximum height of the current addition to the Marriott Hotel at 13- storeys; 3) establish new by -law provisions to guide the construction of a parking garage on a parcel on the north side of Dunn Street; and 4) permit some of the parking for the Marriott Hotel to be provided on the site of the new 30- storey hotel; and two appeals to Zoning By -law No. 2000 -105 which would permit the new hotel north of the Marriott Hotel to be 32 storeys in height rather than 30. The first set of appeals were filed by Mr. Steven Latinovich, of the firm Flett Beccario, on behalf of Helias Enterprises Limited, the owners of the Horseshoe Falls Motor Inn. The following reasons are given for the appeals: Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director June 26, 2000 a) the by -laws do not represent good land use planning; 2 PD- 2000 -76 a) the proposed amendment is not in accordance with the Tourist Area Development Strategy (TADS) guidelines previously adopted by City Council, in that: the proposed building height is too high; the building's east face is too wide; the building's proximity to Portage Road is too close; the building's podium does not provide sufficient rear yard setback; the proposed building will form a continuous wall along the top bank of the Fallsview Subdistrict overlooking Victoria Park; b) the proposed amendment does not adhere to the intent of the tourism policies adopted by City Council; c) the proposed amendment is not in accordance with the City's Official Plan; d) the proposed amendment would create negative wind impact on pedestrians in the area; e) the proposed amendment will create dangerous traffic conditions in the area; f) Council erred in passing an amendment which permits development of such a size and location as to disregard and negatively impact the legitimate interests of the owners of other properties in the area which have been previously approved for development. The second set of appeals were filed by Mr. Thomas A. Richardson, of the firm Sullivan Mahoney, on behalf of the Niagara Parks Commission. The following is a summary of the reasons given for the appeals: b) the by -laws do not conform with a number of Official Plan policies; c) the by -laws do not conform with the recommendations contained in the TADS, including the applicable "design criteria" contained therein; d) the development was rejected in an Architectural Peer Review Report which unequivocally states that the project, as currently conceived, should not be approved and that it is not reflective of TADS or OPA No. 26; e) the by -laws are detrimental to the Queen Victoria Park environs and the surrounding area; f) By -law No. 2000 -105 is defective in that it refers to an erroneous by -law in Section 2 and 3 of the By -law. By -law Nos. 2000 -103 and 2000 -105 were passed by Council on May 29, 2000. Notices of the passing of the by -laws were circulated by prepaid first class mail on May 31, 2000 to all land owners within 120 metres of the subject lands and to certain other persons and authorities, all as required by the Planning Act. The appeals were received on June 16, 2000 and June 20, 2000. The last day to file an appeal was June 20, 2000. The City is required by the Planning Act to forward the appeal and certain other information within 15 days of receipt of the appeal. The Board requires Council's position to be submitted with the appeal. June 26, 2000 CONCLUSION: Council passed By -law Nos. 2000 -103 and 2000 -105 in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act and based on staff's recommendation report, comments from various agencies and individuals and submissions made during the Public Meeting. A resolution of Council to reaffirm the passing of By -law Nos. 2000 -103 and 2000 -105 is required.

The Northwest Community Secondary Plan, as approved by Council, states that the allocation of housing units should closely approximate for 60% Single Family and Two Family units and 40% Multiple Family Attached and Low -Rise Apartments as a mix of dwelling types. The Northwest Community has been the fastest growing community in the City over the last several years. In 1991, the Census figures provided by Statistics Canada showed that the population for the Northwest Community was 4,465 residents. By 1996, the population increased 48.9% to 6,649 residents. It was estimated that by 1999 the population rose another 17.3% to 7,801. By 2004, it is estimated that the population will reach 9,100 residents for the area. As shown in Table 1, the number of single detached and semi detached dwelling units, as listed in the 1996 Census for the Northwest Community, was 1,865 (84.6 compared to 340 (15.4 multiple family and apartment units. After including the building permits for 1997 through to 1999, the totals increased to 2,222 (84.9 single and semi detached compared to 396 (15.1 multiple family and apartment units. Working Together to Serve Our Community Doug Darbyson Director Table 1 also shows the vacant land for the Northwest Community as per units for registered plans of subdivision, draft approved subdivisions, and multiple residential sites that have been rezoned. After adding the vacant lands available for residential development, we can realize a split of 76% to 24% for single and semi detached units compared to multiple family and apartment units. June 26, 2000 2 PD- 2000 -77 The long -term supply for residential growth is identified as raw land. The inventory of raw land in Northwest would add potential for another 222 units as calculated for 7 units per acre for 31.69 acres. This land is designated as Residential in the City's Official Plan and has no development approvals. There are three large parcels of raw land in the Northwest Community, each of which are slated for low density development of single and two family units. When adding in this potential from the inventory of raw land to what is built and the vacant proposals, Table 1 shows a split of 77.5% single family and two family units and 22.5% multiple family and apartment units. Table 1: NORTHWEST COMMUNITY RESIDENTIAL Singles Semi's 1 Multiples Apartments Units 1 1 Units I BUILT As of 1996 Census 1865 I 84.6% 340 I 15.4% Building Permits 1997, `98 `99 357 I 86.4% 56 I 13.6% Total Built Units 2222 1 84.9% 396 I 15.1% VACANT (Year End 1999) In Registered Plans of Subdivision 182 46.2% 212 Draft Approved Subdivisions 207 53.1% 183 Multiple Residential Sites Rezoned 33 Total Vacant Units 389 47.6% 428 I TOTAL BUILT VACANT 2611 76% 824 RAW LAND (Year End 1999) 1 Total Potential Number or Units 1 222 100% 0 TOTAL BUILD -OUT I 2833 77.5% 824 CONCLUSION: UNITS 53.8% 46.9% 52.4% 24% I 0% 22.5% The Northwest Community has been the fastest growing area of the City over the last several years and continues to see more growth as a result of infill and the registering of new subdivisions. The original sixty/forty split, as set out in the Northwest Secondary Plan, of Single Family and Two Family units (60 compared to Multiple Family and Apartment units (40 has not been realized. According to staff predictions, the Northwest Community could be approaching its build -out by the June 26, 2000 year 2010. As the build -out approaches, the numbers as supplied in this report, indicate a split of 77.5% Single Family and Two Family units compared to 22.5% Multiple Family and Apartment units. Consideration of these figures should be taken by staff and by Council during the approval process of any future residential development or redevelopment in the Northwest Community.

Thomson and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario June 26, 2000 Re: PD- 2000 -78, Authorization for Mayor and Clerk To Affix Corporate Seal to Subdivision Agreements It is important that information is provided prior to the subdivision being signed. 11V/1,-/: ;II Tno,Vhnr to Cnrrn Our rum mn rrnitr Doug Darbyson Director PD- 2000 -78 It is recommended that Council approve the by -law to permit, for a limited time, the authorization and the affixation of the Corporate Seal to subdivision agreements and any grants of easements, conveyance and other agreements and documents required for said subdivision to be executed by the Mayor and Clerk conditional upon the City receiving all the required information in a form satisfactory to staff. In an attempt to simplify an administrative process, due to Council's summer schedule, staff are seeking Council approval of a by -law for a temporary period. The by -law is a general one which would permit those subdivisions approved by Council, which are now final, to be executed by the Mayor and Clerk for registration without requiring further and separate by -laws for each subdivision agreement. Staff is experiencing situations where developers are not able to register their subdivisions until Council approves the requisite by -law. During the summer months, Council meetings are less frequent resulting in delays for the developer. It should be noted staff is recommending Council consider a by -law which would assist the developer in obtaining registration of their subdivisions over the summer schedule of Council meeting. This process may result in much more pressure being placed on staff from developers seeking registration without having all the required information normally required by the City. However, this process will assist the developer and it is important that the required information be provided. The information normally required, but not necessarily limited to, is as follows: (a) Executed Transfer/Deed of Land with respect to easement; (b) Executed Transfer/Deed of Land with respect to Blocks; (c) Executed Postponement of Charge with respect to the Subdivision Agreement; (d) Executed Postponement of Charge with respect to Easements; (e) Executed Discharge of Mortgage; (f) Monies to register documentation; (g) Letter of Credit; and (h) any other similar documents. June 26, 2000 CONCLUSION: To assist the development community, it is recommended that Council approve of the by -law which would remain in effect up to the end of September 2000.
