Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -09 AM- 2011 -014, Zoning By -law Amendment Application West Side of Willoughby Drive North of Gunning Drive Applicant: Melody Vahrmeyer Agent: John Perry Single Detached, Semi - detached and /or On- Street Townhouse Dwellings RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By -law amendment application to change the land to a site specific Residential Mixed (R3) zone to permit it to be developed with single detached, semi - detached and /or on- street townhouses, subject to a minimum front yard setback of 9 metres. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The applicant has requested a zoning amendment to allow the flexibility of developing the land with single detached, semi - detached and /or on- street townhouses. The land would have to be divided through consent applications before this could occur. The amendment can be supported because: • the proposed dwelling types comply with the uses permitted by the Official Plan; • the land is located on a collector road and therefore can be considered for a modest level of intensification; • the proposed dwellings are compatible with surrounding residential development in terms of type, height and setbacks; and • the proposal is expected to have a negligible traffic impact on Willoughby Drive. BACKGROUND Proposal A Zoning By -law amendment is requested for a vacant 1885 square metre (0.46 acre) parcel of land on the west side of Willoughby Drive, north of Gunning Drive (see Schedule 1). The amendment is requested to permit the land to be developed for single detached, semi - detached and /or on- street townhouse dwellings (4 -5 dwelling units in total). Schedules 1, 2 and 3 show the different development concepts being considered. The lots will be created through consent to sever at a later date. January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -09 The land is currently zoned Institutional (I) in accordance with Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. The applicant is requesting the zoning of the property to be changed to Residential Mixed (R3) which permits the types of dwellings proposed. In addition, the applicant is requesting site specific reductions to the minimum lot frontage for single detached dwellings (from 12 metres to 11.3 metres) and for semi - detached dwellings (from 18 metres to 16.5 metres) to accommodate the proposed dwellings on the site. The land has been considered for alternative land uses over the years, but never developed. In 1991, Council approved an application (File AM- 37/91) to change the zoning of the land to R1 C to facilitate 3 single detached dwellings. The applicant abandoned this application so the amending by -law was never passed. More recently, a potential purchaser was interested in rezoning the property to permit a 12 unit apartment building and held a preliminary neighbourhood open house with surrounding residents. As many residents voiced concerns about the proposal, the proponent did not submit a formal application. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The property slopes gently away from Willoughby Drive. Several trees and shrubs are located on the land. An easement in favour of Bell Canada runs along the north- westerly limit of the property. The land is surrounded by detached dwellings to the north and south, a church to the south -west and a mix of single detached, semi - detached and quadruplex dwellings to the east. Circulation Comments Information regarding the requested zoning amendment was circulated to City divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comments. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara - No objections from a Regional or Provincial perspective. The proposal does not impact on any Regional wastewater facilities. • Municipal Works - The applicant will be required to enter into a Development Agreement with the City to address servicing and grading, including submission of a satisfactory grading plan, prior to Building Permit issuance. - Chippawa has been subject to basement flooding and surcharging during intense rainfall events and as a result flow restrictions have been imposed. The City has been implementing initiatives to achieve wet water flow reductions. As a result there is sufficient capacity for the proposed development. • Transportation Services - The anticipated traffic from the development does not impact on the service capacity of Willoughby Drive. To address traffic concerns on the curve of Willoughby Drive safety signage has been erected. January 24, 2012 - 3 - PD- 2012 -09 - To assist in providing sight lines to the driveways south of the proposed development a 9 metre front yard setback is recommended. • Parks and Recreation - Cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication and boulevard tree planting will be required through future consent applications. • Building Services, Parks and Recreation, Legal Services, Fire Services, Niagara Falls Transit - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on December 8, 2011 to explain the proposal and to answer questions. The applicant, the applicants' agent and four neighbours were in attendance. The neighbours object to the property being developed with multiple unit dwellings noting that a large number of multiple dwellings already exist and are proposed in the area. They would prefer the lot be retained as open space or developed with single detached dwellings. They also noted excessive and unsafe traffic conditions on Willoughby Drive at this location, drainage problems, a history of basement flooding, restrictions in the capacity of sanitary sewers and sewer discharges. ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The Residential designation of the property allows the lands to be considered for a range of housing types. Low density forms of housing such as single detached, semi - detached, duplex, and triplex dwellings are to provide the majority of residential accommodation in the City. Lands that front onto collector roads can be considered for townhouses and apartment buildings with densities up to 50 units per hectare. New residential development is to be integrated to achieve compatibility and sensitivity with surrounding development. The proposal to develop the land with either single detached and /or semi - detached dwellings, or on- street townhouse dwellings, complies with the Official Plan as follows: - The single detached and semi - detached dwellings are low density forms of housing that are promoted on most residential lands. - The land is located on a collector road and is within an area where intensification is promoted. The development of the land for on- street townhouses complies with these intensification policies. The on- street townhouse development would have a density of 27 units per hectare, well within the density anticipated along a collector road. - The proposed dwelling types are compatible with the surrounding housing. The surrounding lands fronting onto Willoughby Drive have been developed with a mix of dwelling types and the proposed dwellings are compatible. The January 24, 2012 - 4 - PD- 2012 -09 building heights (one to two storeys) and setbacks are consistent with the other dwellings in this area. Willoughby Drive can accommodate the additional traffic generated by this development. 2. Zoning By - law The requested R3 zone permits single detached and semi - detached dwellings as well as duplex, on- street townhouse, triplex and quadruplex dwellings. This zone permits the types of dwelling units proposed. In the vicinity are detached, semi- detached and quadruplex dwellings. The zoning is mixed in the area. Surrounding residential zones include the R1 C zone that permits only single detached dwellings, the R2 zone that permits single detached, semi - detached and duplex dwellings and the R4 zone that permits apartment and townhouse units. The requested R3 zone permits housing that is similar to those permitted in the R1 C, R2 and R4 zones. The applicant is requesting site specific reductions to the lot frontage requirements for single detached (from 12 metres to 11.3 metres) and semi - detached dwellings (from 18 metres to 16.5 metres). These reductions are required because the parcel narrows in width away from Willoughby Drive. As the proposed lots will be able to satisfy minimum lot area standards these reductions are acceptable. The site's location on a curve creates the potential for sight restrictions. To ensure proper visibility, it is recommended the minimum front yard setback be increased from 6 to 9 metres. The lot depths are sufficient to accommodate the required rear yard setback, a reasonable building envelope as well as a larger front yard setback. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal is supported by the City's Official Plan in terms of residential densities and the location of multiple residential developments.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -08 Appeal of Committee of Adjustment Decision Minor Variance Application A- 2011 -023 Parts 3 & 4 on Reference Plan 59R -7429, Montrose Road Applicant: Johnny Ventresca RECOMMENDATION That Council authorize staff to continue with the appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board regarding the Committee of Adjustment's decision to grant Minor Variance Application A- 2011 -023. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On December 15, 2011, the City's Committee of Adjustment approved Minor Variance Application A- 2011 -023 contrary to Staff's recommendation. Staff recommended the application be denied because it does not maintain the intent and purpose of the City's Official Plan, does not maintain the intent of Willoughby Zoning By -law No. 395, as amended by By -law No. 2002 -23, and is not minor in nature. Staff's report is attached. Planning staff filed an appeal against the Committee's decision because the last day to appeal the Committee of Adjustment's decision was January 3, 2012 and staff could not consult with Council prior to that date. Staff is seeking Council's authorization to proceed with the appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board. BACKGROUND: The purpose of application A- 2011 -023 is to recognize an existing undersized parcel of land (Paris 3 and 4 on Reference Plan 59R -7429 -see the attached Schedule 1- Surveyor's Sketch). The parcel was larger when it was created through the testamentary devise process. Since its creation a portion was conveyed to another undersized parcel to the south so that it could comply with zoning standards. This allowed a dwelling to be constructed on the adjacent parcel. The conveyance reduced the subject parcel's frontage and lot area. The applicant purchased the subject parcel from the previous owner who purchased the property from the City in 2009, when lands were offered for sale by public tender under the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Municipal Tax Sales Rules made under that Act. By -law No. 2002 -023 requires a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres, whereas a lot January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -08 frontage of 45.72 metres exists and a lot area of 1 hectare, whereas a lot area of 0.7 hectare exists. The Committee approved application A- 2011 -023 which would have the effect of recognizing the undersized parcel and allow a dwelling to be constructed on it. The Official Plan and Zoning By -law require a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres (200 feet) and lot area of 1 ha (2.5 acres). Policy 14.37.1.2 (1) c), Part 2 of the Official Plan prohibits the reduction of minimum lot size or lot frontage. Council should be aware that this variance will directly conflicts with the provisions of the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan. The requirements of the Official Plan are mandatory there is no question of interpretation or differing opinions. Therefore, the variance simply does not comply with the Official Plan. Pursuant to section 24 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990 c. P. 13 a municipal Council cannot take actions which do not comply with its Official Plan. A Committee of Adjustment is a delegate of the municipal council. As such, it has no greater powers than the delegating municipal Council itself has. Accordingly, the granting of this severance is beyond the powers of the Committee of Adjustment and, indeed, the Council itself in the absence of an amendment to the Official Plan. There are approximately 95 testamentary devise parcels in the Willoughby and Crowland areas of the City which do not comply with the minimum requirements of the Official Plan and Zoning By -law. Approval of the application could set a precedent and encourage others to seek reductions to municipal standards rather than merging sufficient land to achieve compliance. The proposal is contrary to the decision of the Ontario Municipal Board which found that the Plan and by -laws established uniform development standards such as lot sizes, setbacks and roadways access to ensure proper siting of buildings and safe development of septic systems. Staff appealed the Committee's decision to the OMB to meet the January 3, 2012 deadline on the basis that: • The proposed relief does not maintain the intent and purpose of the City's Official Plan and the Zoning By -law. • The proposal is not desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land. • The proposal is not considered minor in nature. • Approval of the application could set an undesirable precedent. There was no opportunity for staff to consult with Council before the final appeal date on January 3, 2012. Staff is seeking Council concurrence and authorization to proceed with the appeal. A copy of this report has been provided to the applicant and the applicant has been advised that Council will be considering the matter tonight. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The minor variance conflicts with the City's Official Plan and Zoning By -law and is contrary to the decision of the Ontario Municipal Board.

A- 2011 -023 NAME OF MUNICIPALITY HEARING DATE November 15, 2011 NAME OF APPLICANT Johnny Ventresca SUBJECT PROPERTY Parts 3 & 4 on Reference Plan 59R -7429 , Montrose Road PROPOSAL The applicant is requesting the Committee to recognize an existing undersized parcel that was initially created through testamentary devise and then reduced in lot frontage and area. Site specific By -law No. 2002 -023 requires a minimum lot frontage of 60 metres, whereas a lot frontage of 45.72 metres exists. A variance of 14.28 metres is requested. Also, where the by -law requires a minimum lot area of 1 hectare, a lot area of 0.7 hectares exists. A variance of 0.3 hectares is requested. A. OFFICIAL PLAN: Good General Agriculture - Special Policy Area 37 DOES THE PROPOSED RELIEF FROM THE BY -LAW MAINTAIN THE GENERAL INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN? YES NO X Special Policy Area 37 recognizes a significant amount of non -farm lot creation that took place through a bequest of land by Will. The Official Plan establishes minimum lot sizes of 1 hectare and 60 metres of frontage. Council adopted these standards in an attempt to reduce the potential land use conflicts that can result from concentrations of non -farm parcels in the agricultural area. The Council policy is that lot sizes and frontages are not to be reduced from the standards. Where parcels were created which do not meet the required sizes, the amalgamation of parcels is encouraged to reduce the impact of unplanned development, provide better configured parcels and improve the prospects for the long -term functioning of private waste disposal systems. A portion of the undersized parcel was added to the parcel abutting to the south to enable it to conform with the City's standards. B. ZONING BY -LAW: Rural - Agricultural, in accordance with Willoughby No. 395/66, as amended by site specific By -law No. 2002 -023. DOES THE PROPOSED RELIEF FROM THE BY -LAW MAINTAIN THE GENERAL INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY -LAW? YES NO X The minimum lot frontage and lot area requirement of the by -law were established to ensure that adequate land would be available for a dwelling as well as the necessary septic and water supply systems. The lot area requirement was set at 1 hectare (2.5 acres) so that a hydrogeological study would not be required. As the subject parcel is below the City's minimum standards its' amalgamation with an abutting parcel should be encouraged. C. DESIRABILITY: IS THE PROPOSAL DESIRABLE FOR THE APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT OR USE OF THE LAND, BUILDING OR STRUCTURE? YES NO X The subject parcel is one of numerous undersized parcels in the City agricultural area. Approval of the application could set an undesirable precedent for further applications for undersized lots. The proposal is contrary to the decision of the Ontario Municipal Board which found "The Plan and by -laws also establish uniform development standards such as lot sizes, setbacks and roadway access to ensure proper siting of buildings and safe development of septic systems." D. MINOR IN NATURE: IS THE PROPOSAL CONSIDERED MINOR IN NATURE? YES NO X The requested variances are not permitted by the Official Plan and are not minor in nature. RECOMMENDATION: The application be denied as it does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan, does not maintain the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By -law, is not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, building or structure; and is not minor in nature.

The theme for this year, as suggested by Heritage Canada, is the Heritage of Power Generation. Power Generation has played a significant role in the economic and political life of Canada since the late 19t century, which is reflected in an impressive legacy of unique and purpose -built historic structures across the country. From early coal -fired electric generators that illuminated city streets and wind mills that powered prairie farms, to later hydro - electric generating plants, dams and substations that transformed industry, power - related structures are an important part of the Canadian landscape. Canada is the world's second - largest producer of hydroelectricity and our per- capita power consumption is among the highest in the world. The 2012 Heritage week theme celebrates the past, but also looks forward as the world's attention turns to energy -use reduction and new sources of green energy. Heritage conservation supports these new priorities, with its emphasis on using and retrofitting historic buildings, and respecting the inherent energy- saving design features present in many older buildings. A display is being planned as part of the Heritage Showcase at Niagara Square Shopping Centre from February 17 -19, 2012 as a kick off to Heritage Week 2012. A proclamation is included in tonight's Council agenda. Since 1974, Heritage Canada, a national organization has recognized the third Monday in February as Heritage Day. In 1985, the Ontario government expanded the day to a full week in order to recognize Ontario's rich and diverse heritage. According to the Ontario Heritage Trust, many heritage -based organizations and municipalities have used the Heritage Day and Ontario Heritage Week as a vehicle to stimulate awareness of heritage resources and heritage related issues within their communities. As the Municipal Heritage Committee recognizes the importance of the City's heritage, they welcome this week as a time to share their enthusiasm and excitement with the residents ofNiagara Falls and hope to heighten the awareness of the City's heritage through events such as the Heritage Showcase at Niagara Square and would encourage all to attend. To this end, the Municipal Heritage Committee would ask that Council proclaim the week of February 20 -26, 2012 as Heritage Week in the City of Niagara Falls. 0 PB:mb S: \HISTORY\HERITAGE \WEEK\2012 \MEMO to Clerk re Proclamation.wpd Working Together to Serve Our Community • yip e l iii r„ ,_,.

As such, we are requesting City Council approval for the fireworks performance. The Festival is properly insured for this and will add all concerned parties as additional named insured.

Subsequent staff discussions were on naming an internal City road. Thorold Stone Road is a Regional Road and it appears now that the Region will not defer to the lower -tier municipality on renaming their roads. The Region appears to be engaging in their own public meeting process regarding the renaming of Roberts Street to Falls Avenue. As a result, it would be appropriate to formally forward this request to the Region. RECOMMENDATION: The Regional Municipality of Niagara be requested to rename the Thorld Stone Road extension as "Terry Fox Way ". 4 Working Together to Serve Our Community (1/18/2012) Dean lorfida Terry Fox Way Page 1 From: Victor Pietrangelo To: lorfida, Dean Date: 1/17/2012 9:06 AM Subject: Terry Fox Way Hey Dean. Last time I brought this up with you, your advice was to have a motion of Council supporting the change and referring the matter to the Region. The reason you wanted a motion of Council was because of the problems getting the name change for Roberts street. My question is; would you mind slipping a note into our Council handouts for next Tuesday. The note could say something simple such as "Staff have the discussed and support the idea of having a street named after Terry Fox. In order to move the process along, a motion of Council should be sent onto Regional Council supporting this request." Thanks Dean. Vic HR- 2012 -01 Niagara& lls January 24, 2012 J s REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources /Fire Department SUBJECT: HR- 2012 -01 Full Time Fire Fighter Recruitment RECOMMENDATION: Per Council's direction, the following changes be made to the full time recruitment process of the Niagara Falls Fire Department, effective immediately; 1. That upon meeting the mandatory qualifications and competition threshold established as outlined in this report, candidates who are City fire fighter volunteers and /or residents of Niagara Falls, will be offered first interviews for any vacant full time fire suppression positions; 2. That where qualifications and abilities of the fire fighter volunteers and residents of Niagara Falls are relatively equal in comparison to the external candidates (in the assessment of the hiring panel), following interviews and the completion of a successful medical examination, offers of employment and hiring preference will be given to local residents and /or volunteer fire fighters. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: At the meetings of February 28 and March 21, 2011, City Council discussed the Fire Department full time recruitment process and deferred HR reports 2011 -01 and 2011 -02. Council directed staff to give hiring preference to local residents and fire fighter volunteers provided that candidates are relatively equal and meet the mandatory qualifications established by the Corporation. In selecting candidates to interview, out of a total mark of 100 %, candidates are ranked based on Brock University test results (10 points), educational diploma /certificates in fire related courses (30 points), related work experience such as professional fire fighting, paramedic and /or volunteer fire fighting experience (30 points) and up to 30 points for other criteria including community volunteer work, driving record, place of residency, and other education /trades work experience. Specifically, volunteer fire fighters are bonused up to 15 points and residents of Niagara Falls will earn 5 points. Upon legal consultation, however, it is important to note that local residency cannot be demanded as a requirement of employment as such restrictions potentially violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department Human Resources January 24 , 2012 - 2 - HR 2012 -01 Depending upon the number of positions available and the number of applicants, the threshold established for first interviews will be the top 75 percentile. City of Niagara Falls Fire Fighter Recruitment and Selection Process Stage 1: Resumes screened according to Mandatory Qualifications including successful completion of Brock Testing Stage 2: Interviews for all qualified Niagara Falls residents /volunteers and short- listed /screened external candidates to 4 Stage 3: Offers of Employment to candidates, preference given to Niagara Falls residents /fire fighter volunteers where qualifications /abilities relatively equal CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The revised fire recruitment process is aligned with Council's strategic priority to recruit, select and retain the best local talent and facilitate customer service excellence within the organization. SUMMARY CONCLUSION The revised Niagara Falls Fire Fighter recruitment process will ensure that the City continues to attract high quality candidates and attract and provide opportunities for the best talent within the City of Niagara Falls, the Re and the volunteer fire fighting ranks.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R &C- 2012 -01 City Float Proposal RECOMMENDATION: That City Council decline the attached City Float proposal and that in future years when staff issues a RFP to redevelop the City Float that Costello Productions be contacted to submit a proposal for the redevelopment of the City Float. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY An unsolicited proposal submitted by Costello Productions for a new City Parade float was referred to staff for review at the November 28, 2011, Council meeting. The City's Purchasing Policy states, for projects over $4,000 a Request for Purchase or tender will be issued. If a new float design was an approved capital budget project, staff would develop and issue the required document. Based on limited 2012 capital project dollars, staff recommends denying this proposal. BACKGROUND Costello Productions contributed to the original design of the City parade float. The City float was redeveloped in 2000 under the direction of the Civic Committee and Parks, Recreation & Culture staff. The design submitted by Singular Productions Limited was selected and constructed for $33,028, R- 2000 -12. At the time, the float participated in approximately ten local parades. However, due to the current condition of the float, the only parades entered are the City of Niagara Falls Canada Day and Santa Claus parades. To participate in out -of -town parades the float requires repairs to ensure the float can safely travel outside of Niagara Falls. The 1812 Task Force determined the need for a parade float with a 1812 -14 theme to promote the bicentennial, 2012 -14. As funds were limited, staff researched low -cost float ideas and were able to obtain a free Rainbow Bridge float from the past WFOL float inventory now maintained by Celebrate Downtown. Minimal enhancements were added to the float including new tires and signage. January 24, 2012 - 2 - R &C- 2012 -01 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The Recreation & Culture Department is responsible for maintaining two parade floats. Staff has identified the need to redevelop the current City float but due to other budget priorities, the float redevelopment will be deferred to future years. The 1812 -14 float proposal theme is very applicable for 2012 -2014 but may not be as applicable in the following years. As the current float has existed for 11 years, staff prefers a general theme to represent all aspects of the City. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The cost to complete the provided float proposal is $16,500. Recreation & Culture Department has not included the development of the City float in the 2012 capital project budget. However, staff does recommend the project be included in future capital budgets. In order to improve the float staff will investigate corporate sponsorship opportunities and partnerships with local high schools and other community organizations. In 2010, the community identified the need for Santa to have a proper sleigh for the annual Santa Claus parade. A local community volunteer, Bill Howe designed a new sleigh for Santa. Local business, Rona Farr Lumber donated the necessary supplies for one half of the cost and the Stamford Collegiate Secondary School, Grade 12 Construction class built a new portable sleigh for Santa costing the City only $740.00 for supplies. Stamford Collegiate Secondary School have requested the opportunity to expand the Christmas float to include a small village at the front of the float. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Strategic Priority, Economic Stability, states to ensure efficient and effective delivery of core municipal services. To efficiently deliver core municipal services, staff will continue to research and pursue corporate sponsorships and community partnerships to redevelop the City float. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Over the past several years, the visitor transportation studies, consultants, and project management costs related to the VTS have been funded by FMC. Of the $7.5 million allocation of FMC funds towards the initiative, a total of $4.4 million remains and will be transferred to the City. These funds will be dedicated towards the costs associated with the VTS. BACKGROUND: As part of FMC's winning casino bid, $15 million was committed towards the VTS project. $7.5 million was allocated towards the purchase of the CP Rail Corridor and the remaining $7.5 million towards the development and implementation of the VTS. OLG has advised that $4.4 million remains and these funds will be transferred to the City of Niagara Falls to be used explicitly for the VTS. As a condition of the OLG directing the funds to the City, the following conditions must be satisfied: 1) Use of funds are strictly for the sole purpose of costs associated with the VTS. 2) Annual audit of the VTS operations to be provided to OLG. 3) VTS, at all times during its operation, shall include regular route stops at Casino Niagara and Fallsview Casino. 4) OLG, or person designated by OLG, shall be permitted to attend meetings of the advisory board. Upon executing the agreement, OLG will transfer the funds to the City of Niagara Falls within five business days of receiving the account information. January 24, 2012 - 2 - BDD- 2012 -01 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE: The funds being transferred will be placed in a reserve account and used towards VTS operations. The funds and any accrued interest will cover VTS costs such as operating shortfall, future Phase 2 studies, and capital and maintenance expenses. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The $4.4 million provides a reserve /project fund which will be used towards the operating costs of the VTS.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD- 2012 -01 Adult Entertainment Licence Revocation RECOMMENDATION That based on the recommendation of the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee, the decision of the Issuer of Licences to revoke the licence of the appellant be upheld. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Any revocation, suspension or refusal of a business licence allows for an appeal process. Under the City's Live Adult Businesses By -law, a committee of Council has the authority to hear appeals and make recommendations to Council. An appeal was heard on December 12, 2011 at City Hall as a result of a suspension of a licence by the Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board. The hearing followed the provisions of the Live Adult Businesses By -law. Upon conclusion of the evidence, the committee made a decision and their recommendation is contained in the recommendation report for Council's approval. BACKGROUND City By -law 2002 -197 (the "By- law "), is a by -law that provides for the licensing, regulating, governing, classifying and inspecting of body -rub parlours and a certain class of adult entertainment parlours. The City has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board delegating the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. The City maintains the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of body rub parlours. Under By -law 2002 -197 if an applicant is refused a licence or has their licence suspended, they may appeal the decision of the Issuer of Licences. An existing licensee, who has their licence revoked, automatically receives a hearing before the committee of Council. Upon conclusion of a hearing before the Committee, a written report shall, as soon as practical, be presented to Council. This report is a result of an appeal heard on December 12, 2011 at 3:30 p.m. in Committee Room #1, City Hall arising out of the revocation of an adult entertainer's license by the Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board. Notice of the hearing was posted on the Committee section of the City's website. January 24, 2012 - 2 - CD- 2012 -01 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Revocation of Licence The Issuer of Licences from the Police Services Board issued a recommendation to revoke the licence of an adult entertainer. The entertainer was charged with offences related to possession and trafficking of a controlled substance at her home residence. Ammunition and drug paraphernalia was also found during the police search The Issuer of Licences recommended the revocation of licences under the following grounds under the By -law: 19(2)(b): the past or present conduct of the applicant, or of any partner, in the case of an applicant which is a partnership, or of any director, shareholder or officer of the corporation, if the applicant is a corporation, affords reasonable grounds for belief that the business in respect of which the application is made will not be carried on in accordance with the law and with integrity and honesty; 19(2) (g): the past or present conduct of the applicant or of anyone or more of the persons referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection affords reasonable grounds for belief that the carrying on of the business in respect of which the licence is sought would infringe the rights, or endanger the health or safety, of one or more members of the public; The decision by the Issuer of Licences to recommend revocation without a formal conviction was based on section 22 of the by -law: 22. In deciding whether to grant, refuse, revoke or suspend a licence, or allow a licence to continue subject to conditions, the Council may receive relevant evidence of and act upon, the fact that one or more persons have been convicted of an offence, but may also consider and act upon evidence of conduct, whether or not prohibited by this By -law or any other law, or which could be the subject matter of a charge under this By -law or any other law, whether or not any charge or conviction may have resulted or may in the future result, from such conduct. Hearing The appellant did not appear at the hearing. The Issuer of Licences presented evidence related to the offences. The Committee's recommendation to uphold the revocation of licence based on the following points, amongst others: ► Despite being only charges at this point, the severity of the alleged offences is serious. ► The appellant was a no -show at the hearing. ► If the charges were dismissed, the appellant could reapply for a licence at that time. Based on the Committee's recommendation, Council can uphold the revocation of the licence as per section 15(6)(d) of the By -law.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is being provided as a result of Council's request for a report on the status of the False Alarm bylaw. Upon direction from Council, and with consideration of City business owners, staff implemented a revised program for enforcing the by -law enacted by Council in 2001. Changes to the enforcement of the by -law included a revision in the classification of false fire alarms that would be included in the by -law, as well as an enhanced education campaign for all building owners within the municipality. The number of buildings invoiced in 2009 was 57; the number of building owners invoiced in 2011 was four. BACKGROUND In 2001, Council enacted a false fire alarm by -law in order to reduce the frequency of false fire alarms and to generate modest revenue. In 2008, Council amended the by -law as reflected in the fee schedule. In 2009, staff commenced enforcement of the by -law and invoices were sent to building owners in early 2010. A number of building owners expressed concerns at the Committee -of- the -Whole meeting on March 30, 2010. Committee subsequently directed staff to meet with BIA Executive members in an attempt to resolve their concerns. By -law revisions were incorporated and the resulting by -law enforced throughout 2011. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The enhanced education materials provided to building owners, and the reduction in the types of false fire alarms included as part of the enforcement of the by -law, have resulted in a 700% decrease in the number of invoices issued to building owners between 2009 and 2011. January 24, 2012 - 2 - FS- 2012 -01 FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Revenues expected to be received between 2009 and 2010 were approximately $85,000.00 annually. Revenues projected to be received for 2011 are approximately $3,000.00. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The reduction of false alarms improves the efficiency of emergency response within the city. n ' Recommended by: f 7)1 Lee Smith, Fire Chief Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer LSmith:tc F- 2012 -01 Niagaraaalls January 24, 2012 REPORT TO: Mayor James M.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F- 2012 -02 2012 Interim Tax Levy RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2012 Interim Tax Levy calculation and by -law providing for the 2012 Interim Tax Levy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Corporation of the City of Niagara Falls requires an 2012 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The interim levy is calculated so that property owners will be billed amounts not exceeding one half of the previous years annual taxes. The installment dates for the Interim Levy are February 29 and April 30 BACKGROUND The Municipal Act 2001 provides the City of Niagara Falls with the authority to issue an interim tax levy. Traditionally the interim levy has been made in February with two installment dates. The City of Niagara Falls requires a 2012 interim tax levy so as to provide the City with operating cash flow and to meet its statutory obligations for collecting taxes on behalf of the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. The statutory requirement of the City is to provide quarterly payments to both the Region of Niagara and the local school boards. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The authority to collect this interim tax levy is prescribed in section 317 of the Municipal Act. The interim tax levy is subject to the following rules: 1. The amount levied on a property shall not exceed the prescribed percentage, or 50 percent if no percentage is prescribed, of the total amount of taxes for municipal and school purposes levied on the property for the previous year. 2. The percentage used in the levy may be different for different classes but must be the same for all properties in a property class. 3. Allows the municipality to use an entire years taxes for a property in the calculation of the interim tax levy in the situation that a full year was not charged in the previous year. January 24, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -02 Staff has developed the interim tax levy based on these rules and has determined that the amount due for the interim levy for each property will not exceed 50% of the annualized assessment used in determining the 2011 tax levy. The due dates for this interim tax levy are in accordance with the new Municipal Act. The interim bill will be due on two dates. As per the regulations outlined in the new Municipal Act, property owners must be provided 21 days notice before payment. The due dates are consistent with the regulation and will be February 29, 2012 and April 30, 2012. In 2011, these dates were February 28, 2011 and April 29, 2011. An interim levying by -law is required to establish the amount of the interim levy. This has been prepared and appears on this evening's Council Agenda for passage. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The internal need for cashflow and the external statutory obligation necessitate the interim tax levy. Failure to provide an interim tax levy could lead to increased short term borrowing by the Corporation and could result in unplanned interest expenses. An interim tax levy is required to ensure the provision of the required funds to minimize borrowing costs.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F- 2012 -03 Monthly Tax Receivables Report RECOMMENDATION That Council receive the Monthly Tax Receivables report for information purposes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is prepared monthly to provide Council with an update on the City's property tax receivables. Outstanding taxes as of November 30, 2011 were $23.9 million compared to $25.3 million in 2010. During November, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed remained the same at 14.3% in 2010 to 14.3% in 2011. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2011. At this stage, 93% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently fifteen properties scheduled for tax sale in the next two years. BACKGROUND This report is being provided as part of the monthly financial reporting to Council by staff. It is also submitted to our banking institution for compliance with our banking agreement. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Tax collection for 2011 improved during the month of November. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at November 30, 2011 are $23.9 million. This represents a decrease from $25.3 million in arrears for the same period in 2010. Finance staff continues to actively pursue property owners in arrears. Table 2 provides the breakdown of outstanding taxes by assessment class. The majority of outstanding taxes are for residential and commercial properties. The chart shows that the taxes owing from the commercial property class has decreased from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. These action steps have been outlined in previous reports. At January 1, 2011, 390 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after eleven months of activity. This table shows 93.3% of the tax accounts or 364 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During November, five accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 92.3% (October) to 93.3% (November). January 24, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -03 Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. During the month of November, seven registered properties were redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 4.5% of the total outstanding taxes at month end. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Tax arrears as a percentage of taxes billed in a year is a performance measure that stakeholders utilize to analyse an organization's financial strengths. Niagara Falls, due to its high reliance on commercial assessment, is traditionally higher compared to municipalities of similar size. The percentage of taxes outstanding to taxes billed as at November 30, 2011 is 14.3% which remained the same as 2010's value of 14.3 %. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -02 Commercial Building & Facade Improvement Grant Application CB &FIG - 2011 -009, Mirella Florio, (Mirella's Hair Studio) 4654 -4658 Queen Street at St. Lawrence Avenue RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the Commercial Building and Facade Improvement Grant application for 4654 -4658 Queen Street subject to the owner satisfying the program requirements including the entering into an agreement with the City and obtaining any required permits. 2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to sign and execute the agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The application can be supported because: • the proposed building work complies with the City's grant program; • the funding will assist in improving a structural component of the building; and • the funds are available in the Special Purpose Reserve of the Downtown CIP. BACKGROUND The subject property is located at 4654 -4658 Queen Street and the building is occupied by Mirella's Hair Studio and two retail stores. The hair studio and retail stores have been in operation for a number of years and the owner wishes to carry out both structural repairs to the roof and improvements to the front and side facade. A grant application for the facade improvements will be applied for at a later date due to limited financial resources. The more pressing issue is the repair of the roof. The cost estimate for a new roof is $18,500. The applicant will be eligible to receive 50% or $9,250 of this amount. The owners will be required to enter into an agreement with the City for the funding request and satisfy all the requirements of the incentive program. January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -02 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The funding for this request will come from the Downtown CIP Special Purpose Reserve. At this time there is sufficient reserve to fund this application. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The approval of the application will satisfy Council's strategic priority by implementing the financial incentive programs within the Downtown CIP and will assist in the ongoing revitalization of the Downtown area.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -05 Telecommunication Facility Consultation 6913 Oakwood Drive, Niagara Falls Altus Group on Behalf of Bell Mobility RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Industry Canada be advised that the City of Niagara Falls has no objection to the construction of a 40 metre (131 ft.) mono pole structure and 54 square metre compound on the lands at 6913 Oakwood Drive. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal to erect a 40 metre flag pole telecommunication tower at 6913 Oakwood Drive can be supported based on the following: • the proposal is within an industrial area; and • the flag pole monopole design will blend into the area. BACKGROUND Bell Mobility has requested a telecommunication facility at 6913 Oakwood Drive to improve their wireless voice and data services within this area of Niagara Falls. The proposed tower would be located to the on the eastern side of the QEW right of way north of McLeod Road. The subject lands are currently occupied by Design Electronics and access is provided off of Oakwood Drive along the south side of the existing structures (see Appendix 1). The proposed tower would accommodate up to 12 antennas and would be available for co- location with other companies. The applicants have stated that there are no existing structures that could accommodate Bell Mobility's network. Industry Canada is responsible for the licensing and approval of telecommunication equipment and facilities. As part of the application process, proponents of new systems are required to consult with local municipalities and the public in accordance with local protocols. January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -05 The City adopted a Consultation Process for Radio Telecommunication Facilities in July, 2008. The protocol requires the proponent of a facility to hold a public information meeting and to forward any written or oral concerns /issues received from the public to the City to form part of their deliberation of the proposal. If concerns have been raised, the method by which the proponent has dealt with it must also be forwarded to the City. The decision of Council serves as a written response to Industry Canada on behalf of the City for the proposal. ANALYSIS As per the City's Consultation process, an information package and request for comments notice was to sent to property owners located within three (3) times the height of the proposed installation in October 2011. A Notice of a Public Information Meeting was placed in the Niagara Falls Review on October 29, 2011. The Information Meeting, held on December 6, 2011 at the MacBain Community Centre, was not attended by any member of the public and no written /verbal comments were submitted to the applicants. The information package was circulated by Planning staff to other City Departments and no objections to the proposal were received. The telecommunication facility is proposed within an Industrial designated area along the QEW. The tower should not interfere with the adjacent land uses and is set well away from residential areas and public open spaces.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -06 Telecommunication Facility Consultation 3930 Montrose Road, Niagara Falls Altus Group on Behalf of Bell Mobility RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Industry Canada be advised that the City of Niagara Falls has no objection to the construction of a 38 metre (115 ft.) mono pole structure and 50.3 square metre compound on the lands at 3930 Montrose Drive and request that proper measures be taken to protect the Creek to the north both during and after construction. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposal to erect a 35 metre mono pole telecommunication tower at 3930 Montrose Road can be supported based on the following: • the proposal is within a commercial area and away from residential areas; • the self supporting tower design will blend into the area and is buffered from street level view by commercial buildings and setbacks; and • the proponents will be erecting silt fencing during construction to protect a nearby branch of Shriners Creek. BACKGROUND Bell Mobility has requested a telecommunication facility at 3930 Montrose Road to improve their wireless network. The proposed tower would be located on the eastern side of a commercial plaza, being part of the Mount Carmel Centre and west of the QEW right of way (see Appendix 1). The proposed tower would accommodate up to 12 antennas and would be available for co- location with other companies. The applicants have stated that there are no existing structures that could accommodate Bell Mobility's network. Industry Canada is responsible for the licensing and approval of telecommunication equipment and facilities. As part of the application process, proponents of new systems are required to consult with local municipalities and the public in accordance with local protocols. January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -06 The City adopted a Consultation Process for Radio Telecommunication Facilities in July, 2008. The protocol requires the proponent of a facility to hold a public information meeting and to forward any written or oral concerns /issues received from the public to the City to form part of their deliberation of the proposal. If concerns have been raised, the method by which the proponent has dealt with it must also be forwarded to the City. The decision of Council serves as a written response to Industry Canada on behalf of the City for the proposal. ANALYSIS As per the City's Consultation process, a Notice was published in the Niagara Falls Review on September 19, 2011 as there are no abutting land owners within three (3) times the height of the proposed installation. A Public Information Meeting was held on December 6, 2011 at the MacBain Community Centre and was not attended by any member of the public. No written /verbal comments were submitted to the applicants. The information package was circulated by Planning staff to other City Departments and no objections to the proposal were received. The property is subject to a site specific zoning and site plan control. A Hazard Land (HL) Zone protects a branch of Shriner's Creek which crosses the plaza lands from east to west, just north of the proposed tower location. A minimum building setback of 10 metres is required from this zone and the tower is proposed to be set back 12 metres. Bell will be installing silt fencing during construction to protect runoff into the Creek. The Altus Group has also noted that the garbage enclosure will not be relocated from its current position on the approved site plan.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -07 PLC - 2011 -002, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control Blocks 114 and 118, Plan 59M -379 More Specifically Described as Parts 1 Through 5, Plan 59R -14603 (Block 118) and Parts 1 Through 7, Plan 59R -14604 (Block 114) Hendershot Boulevard Owner: Mountainview Homes RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the request and pass the by -law included in tonight's agenda to designate Blocks 114 and 118 of Registered Plan 59M -379, as exempt from Part Lot Control. 2. That the owner be given two years to create the new parcels and notify the City when the separate deeds have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mountainview Homes has requested a by -law be passed to exempt the land from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership of the seven freehold townhouse units currently under construction on Block 114 and five freehold townhouse units currently under construction on Block 118. The request can be supported based on the following: • The approval will permit a deed to be created for each townhouse dwelling unit and permit each property to be sold. • The use of this Planning Act mechanism is acceptable in this case and zoning is in place to permit the proposed parcels. BACKGROUND Proposal Mountainview Homes has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from their lands (Parts 1 through 5 of 59R -1603 and Parts 1 through 7 of 59R- 14604) located on the north side of Hendershot Boulevard and east side of Osprey Avenue, (see Schedule 1) west of Garner Road and north of Lundy's Lane. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow the sale of the individual on- street townhouse dwelling units that are under construction. January 24, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -07 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The subject land is within the Fernwood Phase 2 Plan of Subdivision (59M -379) which was registered on July 7, 2010. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for single- detached dwellings and blocks for on- street townhouses. Services have been provided throughout the plan. Building Permits were issued in August 2011 for the on- street townhouse dwelling on Block 118 and September 2011 for the on- street townhouse dwelling on Block 114. The structure foundations and proposed property configurations are shown on the attached reference plans (Schedules 2 and 3). The blocks are zoned Residential Mixed (R3 -829) through Zoning By -law No. 79 -200, as amended. Site specific Zoning By -law No. 2008 -99 applies to the land to regulate the number of parking spaces and number of dwelling units per block. Approval of a 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. A by -law time limit of two years has been requested to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period is acceptable given the amount of new residential development in the area. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City.
