Hunt of Saint Michael was the only Niagara Falls athlete to medal, winning gold in the senior boys' high jump. J.T. Hunt believes he's just getting warmed up. The new provincial high school senior boys' high jump champion is already looking to defend his title. And he has a goal in mind. "Next year my goal is 2.20 (metres)," the 16- year -old Saint Michael Catholic High School athlete said. "It's a high number, but with all my coaches and all the other sports, 111 be able to propel myself to that height." The OFSAA record 2.24 metres. set in 1998 by Michael Ponikvar of Denis Morris.

It feels fantastic," he said. "It's something I wanted to do the last three years." Hunt placed second last year in the junior boys' championship. He entered his first OFSAA track and field meet as a senior hoping for a top -five finish. "I wasn't sure how I'd fit in," he said. "To win senior at a (younger) age is a good feeling." The turning point came with the bar set at 1.95 metres. Several competitors remained. but only Hunt and Zimbert Bramble of North York cleared the bar. Hunt did so on his third attempt. "I've been to bigger meets than OFSAA, but I feel like it (challenges) me the most," he said "There's lots of competition, people who aren't in track clubs who come to the meet. I wasn't as prepared (this year) as I should have been." A thunderstorm delayed the event soon after it began, and the weather was cooler after the hour - and -a -half hiatus. Hunt's muscles were tight and he had a few scares on jumps that he usually clears with ease. The 'uneasy" feeling vanished by the time Hunt cleared 1.95 and guaranteed himself a top - two finish. "It felt better (than the 1.98 jump)," he said, "because it felt like I had to dig deep to pull this one ouf " Several area athletes competed at the three -day meet in Brockville. Saint Michael's Kelsey Darnay narrowly missed a medal, finishing fourth in the junior girls' pole vault with a height of 2.75 metres.

Zachary Hildebrand of Saint Michael placed 13th in the senior boys' 400 -metre hurdles. Joel Mueller of Ridgeway Crystal -Beach set the tone on Day 1, setting an OFSAA record in the midget boys' pole vault. He was one of several Ridgeway athletes to qualify for the meet. Jessica Detlor won bronze in the junior girls' discus. Detlor's threw 32.96 metres. Ridgeway's Kristen Kuhn was .22 seconds from the podium in the junior girls' 3000 -metre run.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -37 AM- 2011 -002, City Initiated Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendments Clifton Hill /Fallsview Tourist Areas Proposed Changes to Parking Requirements RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Official Plan and Zoning By -law amendments to implement alternative parking requirements in the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City has initiated amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By -law to implement the recommendations of the 2009 Tourist Area Parking Demand Study (2009 Parking Study). Based on feedback from the public at previous meetings, requests were made to expand the amendments to include a parking exemption for a number of uses within the Victoria and Fallsview Business Improvement Areas (BIAs). A request was also made by a property owner to remove a site specific zoning requirement to provide for off -site parking. The proposed changes to parking ratios in the Tourist Core provide 4 options for business operators to chose a method which best fits their operations. These alternatives provide a great deal of flexibility. The extension of parking exemptions for businesses which front onto Victoria Avenue from Ferry Street to Hwy 420 (Falls Avenue) is supported by research conducted; however, the parking exemption requested over the entire Victoria and Fallsview areas cannot be recommended because there is no technical evidence to demonstrate the exemption is warranted. An Official Plan amendment is proposed to allow the City to introduce alternative parking ratios in the tourist core, but a policy that would prohibit applicants from submitting parking demand studies is not included as it would negate an applicant's right to apply under the Planning Act for an amendment. The new parking ratios and alternative parking options are supported for the following reasons: • The proposed amendments are consistent with Provincial policies. • The proposed Official Plan amendment is in keeping with the Tourist Commercial policies and will provide the appropriate guidance for implementing the new parking requirements. June 26, 2011 - 2 - PD- 2012 -37 The Parking Study supports changes to the parking requirements for certain uses that more accurately reflects the actual parking demand. Business owners will have the option of using the current parking standards, the new parking standards, keeping existing site - specific parking standards, or applying for site - specific parking standards in the future. The parking exemption is recommended for an area where there is little or no existing on -site parking and in an area where municipal parking lots already exist. A parking demand study can be submitted with any future rezoning application and will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis. BACKGROUND Proposal City Staff propose an Official Plan amendment which will introduce site specific policies which will allow the City the opportunity to establish different parking standards for specific uses in the tourist area and to establish an area of parking exemption. The proposed policies also provide the option of using one of three different sets of parking requirements in the central tourist district and the option to apply for site specific zoning standards in the future. The proposed Official Plan policies will also clarify how the parking requirements are to be applied and how they can be amended. The proposed Zoning By-law amendment would establish decreased parking requirements for restaurants, retail stores /souvenir shops, museums and theatres /cinemas. An increased parking requirement is being introduced for hotel rooms, but this higher standard is being off -set by the elimination or reduction in required parking for the ancillary uses within hotels. In addition, hotels and motels using the new standards would have the option of substituting 1 bus parking space for 20 car parking spaces to a maximum of 2 bus spaces (40 car spaces). Theatres /cinemas would have the option of substituting 1 bus parking space for 20 car parking spaces to a maximum of 1 bus substitution. Staff is recommending an additional amendment to include dimensions for a bus parking space. These amendments would only affect the above uses within the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts as shown on Schedule 1. As part of the proposed Zoning By -law amendment, this report examines a request to extend the current parking exemption established by By -law No. 81 -199, for the Ferry and Stanley area, to incorporate the entirety of the Victoria and Fallsview Business Improvement Areas. This exemption to parking requirements would apply to the following uses in the Tourist Commercial zone: art galleries; bake shops; bank, trust companies, credit unions, currency exchanges; beer, wine or liquor stores; clothing stores; day nurseries; drug stores; food stores; health centres; personal service shops; photographer's studios; places of entertainment, places of worship; private clubs; restaurants; retail stores; service shops; souvenir stores; tobacco stores; timeshare offices. During the public consultations, the property owner at 5020 Centre Street requested the zoning requirement for off -site parking associated with his property be eliminated. June 26, 2011 - 3 - PD- 2012 -37 The proposed amendments were initiated by Staff to implement the recommendations of the 2009 Parking Study to address Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 standards. The majority of the Canadian Niagara Hotels' lands are covered by Zoning By -law 5335; CNH intends to submit their own separate application to address parking ratios for the entirety of its lands. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands are the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Areas as shown on Schedule 1. These are within the Central Tourist District of the City and provide a wide range of tourist attractions, retail stores, restaurants, and accommodations (hotels /motels). Numerous properties do not provide on -site parking and rely on parking Tots on other sites. In some cases these off -site parking lots are located outside the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Areas. Circulation Comments Information regarding the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By -law amendments were circulated to City Divisions, the Region, agencies and the public for comment. The following summarizes the comments received to date: • Regional Municipality of Niagara No concerns. • Transportation Services - Have concerns with extending the parking exemption along Victoria Avenue to Roberts Street because this was not examined in the Parking Study and, consequently, do not support extending the parking exemption; - Do not support the parking exemption in the Fallsview District since this was not examined in the Parking Study. The area was not identified as an area for parking exemption since it is able to supply parking through re- development. There are no municipal lots and little on- street parking in the Fallsview District. The exemption can be examined as part of the 5 year review of the Parking Study; and - Do not support eliminating the off -site parking requirement for the business at 5020 Centre Street since there is no basis to support a parking requirement Tess than the rate identified in the study. • Municipal Works, Fire Services and Legal Services - No objection. Neighbourhood Open House Public meetings were held on June 17, 2009 and January 25, 2010 to assist in the completion of the 2009 Parking Study. Several concerns with the 2009 Parking Study recommendations were raised at these meetings and most were resolved. The unresolved concerns were raised again at the neighbourhood open house and are explained below. June 26, 2011 - 4 - PD- 2012 -37 A neighbourhood open house was held on June 21, 2011 to assist the public in understanding the proposed amendments. The meeting was attended by 9 people representing various businesses within the subject area. Several business owners had questions relating to how the new zone provisions would be implemented. In addition, a concern was noted about not allowing up to 5 bus substitutions for parking. It was explained that the bus substitution was included as an alternative to compensate any hotel or motel which would be required to provide more parking under the new standards. Staff explained that businesses can use one of three methods to calculate parking requirements, which provides more flexibility. A concern was also raised about not being able to submit parking demand studies for uses that were examined in the 2009 Parking Study. At that time, Staff explained that the 2009 Parking Study examined the entire Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts and the dynamics of parking demand in these areas. Parking demand studies for individual properties have generally not looked at the broader Tourist Districts and how this affects parking demand for the site. Accordingly, the results of such individual parking demand studies do not accurately reflect the parking demand for the site. It was noted that parking demand studies could be submitted for uses that were not examined in the 2009 Parking Study. At the June 26, 2010 Community Services Committee meeting, a request was made to extend the existing parking exemption on Ferry Street to include Victoria Avenue as far as Roberts Street. This was incorporated into the recommendations in the Council report of October 3, 2011. At that time, the request was made to include all of the Victoria /Centre BIA. At the October 3, 2011 Council meeting, the Fallsview BIA requested that the proposed parking exemption be extended over their area as well. In addition, Canadian Niagara Hotels requested additional time to consider how the application would affect their lands. Planning staff has since been advised by Canadian Niagara Hotels that they will address their interests separately. Staff held a further open house on December 14, 2011 which was attended by only two people who had no concerns with the proposed amendments. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan Provincial policies focus on managing growth and supporting strong economies. The proposal would assist achieving sustainable tourism and economic vitality for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts, which are considered Employment Areas, by providing reduced and alternative parking requirements within these districts. The proposed new parking requirements, including exempting a number of uses along Victoria Avenue, will assist most businesses in expanding by requiring less parking. Uses that would have a higher parking requirement will have the option of applying the current parking requirements at the time of redevelopment. Therefore, Staff considers the proposed amendments to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement in and conformity with the Growth Plan. June 26, 2011 Official Plan - 5 - PD- 2012 -37 Tourist Commercial Policy 4.5.2 provides that the City will review parking requirements as they apply to the Central District. The 2009 Parking Study was done on a comprehensive basis for the whole tourist core, it represents the most current and most accurate calculation of need versus demand undertaken to date. As a later phase of the ongoing Sustainable Transportation Master Plan, parking for the entire City will be reviewed. The proposed Official Plan policies (Attachment 1) would allow the establishment of different parking requirements for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts from the rest of the City based on the 2009 Parking Study. Property owners would have the opportunity to use either the current Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 parking requirements, the requirements contained in a site - specific Zoning By -law, or the proposed new parking requirements. Business owners would not have the right to use a combination of the three requirements. Proposed policies to prohibit the submission of parking demand studies for uses which were examined as part of the 2009 Parking Study have not been incorporated because this was seen to be contrary to a landowner's right to apply for a zoning amendment under the Planning Act. The proposed Official Plan policies would allow Council to exempt certain areas from requiring parking. The parking exemption issue was first considered for the area in 1979- 1980 and was intended to encourage redevelopment and expansion. Only a portion of Ferry Street was ever addressed. Extending the existing parking exemption over the entire Victoria and Fallsview BIAs was not examined as part of the 2009 Parking Study. Planning staff undertook a review of the parking provided by tourist commercial uses in existing buildings along Victoria Avenue following the June 2010 deferral. It was found that hotels and motels provide parking either on -site or at approved off -site locations. Other uses (souvenir stores, attractions, and restaurants) in existing buildings either have insufficient parking or do not provide parking to meet the zone requirements and are considered legal non - conforming for parking. Accordingly, it is reasonable to consider extending the parking exemption, as shown in Schedule 2, for retail stores, restaurants, attractions and similar uses. Planning staff is not able to support extending the existing parking exemption over the whole Victoria /Centre and Fallsview BIAs. Most of the Fallsview District has redeveloped in the last 10 to 15 years in accordance with Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 standards. These areas were not examined in the 2009 Parking Study nor was there any review of the existing parking situation in the entire area. As such, there is no technical justification to support this exemption. Transportation Services is reviewing the parking standards for the whole City as part of the 5 year review of parking. The proposed changes are in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan to encourage the efficient and safe functioning of the transportation system, meet the needs of the travelling public and integrate well with the community. Zoning By -law The zoning amendments affect those lands which are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) within the area shown on Schedule 1. June 26, 2011 - 6 - PD- 2012 -37 Proposed Parking Ratios Current Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 parking standards are shown as Option 1. The 2009 Parking Study examined whether or not synergies existed between various tourist commercial uses which affect the demand for and provision of parking spaces. The 2009 Parking Study determined new standards were warranted; these are shown in the column under Option 2. Since some property owners want to keep using the current Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 standards rather than use the new standard, it was decided to allow land owners to have the choice of using either standard. Other land owners, had previously obtained site specific standards and wanted to retain those parking requirements; accordingly, Option 3 is to allow existing site - specific standards to be used. Finally, some land owners wanted the ability to submit a zoning by -law amendment application to apply for their own parking standards based on their own parking demand analysis. This represents a fourth alternative. Land owners will not have the ability to blend requirements from one option to the next. Land Use Option 1 Option 2 Motel 1 space per 1.3 rooms 1 space per 1.25 rooms Hotel 1 space per 2 rooms 1 space per 1.25 rooms Ancillary Restaurant to a Hotel 1 space per 10 seats <300 seats = no additional spaces >300 seats = 1 space per 15 seats above 300 seats Ancillary Meeting /Convention Rooms to a Hotel 1 space per 5.5 m2 of assembly space <1400 m2 = no additional spaces >1400 m2 = 1 space per 66 m2 above 1400 m2 Ancillary Retail to a Hotel 1 space per 25 m2 floor area No parking required Museum 1 space per 50 m2 floor area 1 space per 150 m2 floor area Restaurant 1 space per 5 seats 1 space per 10 seats Retail Store 1 space per 25 m2 floor area 1 space per 60 m2 floor area Tattoo Studio 1 space per 40 m2 floor area 1 space per 2 seats Amusement Game Establishment 1 space per 5 people legally occupied 1 space per 75 m2 floor area Theatre /Cinema 1 space per 5 seats 1 space per 10 seats Dance Hall (Nightclub) 1 space per 5 people legally occupied 1 space per 35 m2 of floor area June 26, 2011 - 7 - PD- 2012 -37 Most of the uses identified in the 2009 Parking Study require less parking than currently stipulated in Zoning By -law No. 79 -200. A number of business operators are anxiously awaiting the adoption of the new standards before proceeding with their developments. The new standards would subject hotel and motel rooms to higher parking requirements, but this is offset by a reduction in the required parking for ancillary uses including restaurants, retail space and meeting space. A hotel using the Option 2 parking ratios for rooms would have to contain a high amount of ancillary uses to actually achieve a net benefit. Those hotels which do not have large ancillary space may find it more beneficial to continue to depend on current parking standards (Option 1) rather than the Option 2 standards. Bus Substitutions For those hoteliers who want to use the new parking ratios for rooms, but who would actually see an increase in the number of required car parking spaces even after calculating the exceptions for ancillary space, the consultant proposed the substitution of 1 bus parking space for 20 car parking spaces up to a maximum of 2 bus substitutions. In this way, the hoteliers would not experience an additional hardship which might otherwise occur. Several stakeholders have requested that the maximum substitution be increased to as many as 5 bus substitutions. Additional substitutions cannot be supported since the larger hotels generally have more amenity space on -site where the exemptions for amenity space outlined in Option 2 provide a similar kind of benefit. If Council were to allow additional bus substitutions it would further reduce the number of car parking spaces at hotels and may result in parking space shortages, particularly during the summer when the parking demand period by cars peaks. Hoteliers who would seek more than 2 bus substitutions would likely be able to comply with the existing parking requirements of Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 (Option 1) since most current hotels were built to these standards. Stakeholders requested that 1 bus substitution for 20 cars be given to theatres /cinemas as well. Staff is supportive of this change to a maximum of 1 bus substitution since the tour buses would deliver visitors for short durations. Land Use Option 1 Option 2 Motel /Hotel 0 bus substitutions 1 bus parking space may be substituted for 20 parking spaces to a maximum of 2 bus parking spaces Theatre /Cinema 1 bus parking space may be substituted for 20 parking spaces 1 bus parking space may be substituted for 20 parking spaces Currently, Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 does not include dimensions for bus parking spaces. A parking space requirement for buses of 3.75 metres by 15 metres, with a 15 metre maneuvering aisle and a vertical clearance of 5 metres is to be introduced. These dimensions accommodate a typical coach bus. Although this additional change was not specified in the public meeting notice, it is considered a minor change that does not require additional notice. June 26, 2011 Parking Exemption - 8 - PD- 2012 -37 The Victoria Centre Business Improvement Association and several property owners within the subject area, represented by Italia Gilberti, have requested that the current parking exemption established in 1981 for parts of Ferry Street be extended to include the Victoria BIA. Similarly, the Fallsview BIA has also requested this exemption extend over their BIA. The 1981 By -law exempts several uses (outlined earlier in this report) within the TC zones along Ferry Street. Several business owners think that the exemption would help local businesses expand. The City's Transportation Services Department does not support these requests. The parking exemption was introduced by the municipality in an attempt to encourage reinvestment in the area and only where municipal parking lots are located in the vicinity of the exemption. The Fallsview area is an area where a large amount of reinvestment is already occurring. The Fallsview area does not have any municipal parking lots and the majority of properties have developed in compliance with Option 1 standards and provide full parking on -site or in linked off -site lots. In the summer of 2010, the City conducted an inventory of on -site parking for existing business along Victoria Avenue from Ferry Street to Hwy 420 and found, with the exception of hotels and motels, the majority of properties did not or could not provide on -site parking for their small businesses. On this basis, Planning staff can only support extending the parking exemption to the area shown in Schedule 2 and not over the entire Victoria BIA or Fallsview BIA as there is no technical study to support this. Prior to the June 2011 open house, staff were approached by the owner of 5020 Centre Street (Pat Ramunno) to consider eliminating the need to provide required parking off -site for his museum at 5020 Centre Street on the property known as 5609 Ellen Avenue. If Council eliminates the parking requirements for museums between Victoria and Ellen Avenues the zoning regulations that require 5609 Ellen Avenue to be used for the parking required on 5020 Centre Street will be redundant and should be repealed as a house- keeping measure. Parking Demand Studies The City undertook the 2009 Parking Study to prepare new standards comprehensively and to avoid requiring property owners to prepare individual studies which they said were costly and time consuming. The 2009 Parking Study determined that many standard parking requirements could be lowered. The Study recommended further individual studies to examine the same uses not be allowed. If the City were to include this prohibition in the Official Plan as a policy, it may be considered contrary to the landowner's right to apply for a zoning amendment under the Planning Act. Accordingly, the policy is not included in the OPA. Property owners will be able to submit parking demand analysis following the Terms of Reference established by the Transportation Division and used by property owners in the past. This will serve as a fourth option to business operators. Overall, the proposed zoning amendments will better ensure that the parking requirements for the affected uses reflect the actual parking demand. The new standards should help eliminate problems of parking in adjacent residential areas by better ensuring there is not a parking deficit. In addition, it helps prevent the oversupplying of parking resulting in large, unused parking areas that are costly to maintain. Accordingly, staff consider the proposed amendments to be consistent with the intent of the Official Plan. June 26, 2011 - 9 - PD- 2012 -37 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed amendments will not result in any significant losses in revenue. Although parts of the subject area are a location where cash -in -lieu of providing parking is an option, most developers have opted to either provide the parking or apply for full relief such that no money was received by the City. The decrease in parking requirements could encourage development by decreasing the expense of providing unnecessary parking spaces or conducting studies to obtain lower parking requirements. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed amendments are consistent with the City's strategic priorities as they help improve the economic viability of the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts.

The parking demand study determined that the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts are unique compared to other areas in the City because of the high number of day trips and overnight visitors who park once and make multiple stops while walking through the districts. Based on the 2009 parking demand study, the City may establish specific parking requirements to be implemented in the Zoning By -law for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts. When implementing parking requirements for the Clifton Hill and Fallsview Tourist Districts, the City may provide the option for land owners to use the parking requirements which applied to their land as of June 1, 2011, or the updated requirements based on the 2009 parking demand study, but not a combination of both. The City will not support minor variances to establish such a combination. While it is the intent of this Plan to ensure that adequate off- street parking is provided for all development, consideration may be given to the elimination of parking requirements for non - accommodation uses within the area shown on Figure 5. Exemption from parking requirements shall be implemented through an amendment to the Zoning By -law. PD- 2012 -36 NiagaraFalls June 26, 2012 REPORT TO: SUBMITTED BY: SUBJECT: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Planning, Building & Development PD- 2012 -36 Proposed Change from Residential Loan to Residential Grant for the Downtown Community Improvement Plan - Revised RECOMMENDATION That Council support the following: 1. The Downtown CIP Residential Loan Program be changed to a Residential Grant Program to encourage the renovation of old vacant apartments that are in serious disrepair and unused vacant space above businesses to help stimulate the economic recovery of Downtown by encouraging more people to live in the area. 2. That the maximum grant be 50% of the eligible funds up to $10,000 ($5,000 from the City and $5,000 from the Region) per unit based on a minimum renovation of $20,000. 3. That the Residential Grant Program come into effect immediately with a 60 day intake period for applications. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On May 29, 2012, Council deferred Report PD- 2012 -20 (attached) which recommended changing the current Residential Loan Program in the Downtown CIP to a Residential Grant Program. The intention of the revised program is to encourage land owners to renovate old vacant apartments that have come into serious disrepair and to construct new apartments in vacant space above commercial stores. This report outlines a couple of changes to the recommendations from the earlier Report PD- 2012 -20 that was deferred. Firstly, this report suggests the lowering of the maximum amount of the grant from $15,000 per unit to $10,000 per unit ($5,000 from the City and $5,000 from the Region). The lowering of the grant will spread out the funds and thus allow more property owners to take advantage of the program. Secondly, to address a concern of a fairer way of distributing funds, one of the requirements in the program procedures will be a 60 day intake period for applications and all applications will be reviewed and recommended to Council on their own merits. BACKGROUND The Downtown CIP was approved by Council in December, 2004 with the intent of encouraging a healthy viable Downtown. One of the main purposes of the CIP is to stimulate private sector investment and a method to do this involved the preparation of a June 26, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -36 package of financial incentives. The incentives included a commercial building and facade improvement grants and residential loan for new apartments. While the commercial building and facade improvement grants have been quite popular, the City has received only four residential loan applications over the past seven years. The Downtown has seen a number of businesses close over the past year or so. To a degree, this has occurred because of the lack of pedestrian traffic and people living in the Downtown to buy products from local retailers. While some commercial operations are doing well, there are others who may not survive without increased pedestrian traffic and people living Downtown. The question remains, how can more people be attracted to live Downtown. One way is to encourage good quality apartments at attractive lease rates. A program change which will provide property owners with a potential grant rather than a loan could be an attractive option. A residential grant is not uncommon in other municipalities that have CIP's. The example used in the previous report was St. Catharines where they have a residential grant program for new apartments and more than 200 apartments have developed in their Downtown as a result. Other local municipalities that have residential grants in their CIP areas include the Town of Lincoln, Town of Pelham, Town of Fort Erie, Town of Grimsby and the City of Port Colborne. The Downtown BIA would like to see Queen Street revitalized and be on equal footing with other municipalities. At a meeting held on June 13, 2012 they passed the following motion: To request City Council "to move forward on the urgency to convert the Residential Loan Program to a Grant Program." Carried Representatives of the Downtown BIA will attend tonight's Council meeting and have requested an opportunity to speak to the matter. ANALYSIS The previous report recommended a maximum of $15,000 per apartment ($7,500 from the City and $7,500 from the Region) based on a minimum expenditure of $30,000 of eligible costs. In discussions with the Downtown BIA, they support a reduction to the maximum grant to $10,000 per apartment rather than $15,000. It is felt that the lower grant amount will provide an opportunity for more property owners to take advantage of the potential grant. The Downtown BIA strongly supports the utilization of the CIP funds to encourage more apartments in the area. Many past retail stores left the Downtown because they were not sustainable without having more people living Downtown. It is believed the viability of businesses can increase with more people living in the core. Council was concerned the perception may be that the change of the Residential Loan financial incentive to a Residential Grant was not fair to other people who build apartments elsewhere in the City. It should be noted that by approving the Downtown CIP in 2004, City Council recognized the Downtown as an area of economic decline and in urgent need of financial incentives to encourage private sector investment. The financial incentives provide a legal method of bonusing under the Planning Act with the intent of increasing property assessment (and thus taxes paid to the municipality) and economic viability of the area. Monies for this program are to come from Downtown CIP reserves. June 26, 2012 - 3 - PD- 2012 -36 A question arose as to who would be eligible to receive the funds. If Council approves the change, it is recommended that rather than processing the applications on a first come first serve basis, that all owners will be required to satisfy certain criteria. To ensure equal processing and review, staff will provide a 60 day period in which to submit an application for funding in 2012. Therefore, everyone will have a chance to put an application together and all funding will not go to the first person through the door. These applications will be reviewed and weighted based on the type of renovations and potential catalyst to encourage other redevelopment. It is also recommended that property owners have one year from the date of Council approval to carry out the work or risk losing the grant. Staff recommendations on the applications will be provided to Council for approval. Attached as Appendix 2 is the proposed program procedures. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As noted in the previous report, there is approximately $600,000 in Special Purpose Reserve resulting from earlier years of surplus from the Downtown CIP Budgets. The utilization of the funds for new and renovated apartments is a good utilization of the funds. The reserve money remains available to assist the economic recovery of the Downtown. Money sitting idle in an account is not providing a beneficial return. The opportunity is now before Council whereby property owners will make physical improvements to the buildings. The Grant program is to run for 2 years with a program budget of $150,000 per year. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The intent of the change of the financial incentive program is to encourage more people to live in residential apartments within the Downtown. Additional residents living in the Downtown will strengthen and promote the economic viability of the Downtown and this satisfies one of Council's strategic priorities.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development PD- 2012 -20 May 29, 2012 SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -20 Proposed Change from Residential Loan to Residential Grant for Downtown Community Improvement Plan Area RECOMMENDATION That Council support the following: 1. A change be made to the Downtown CIP Residential Loan Program to a Residential Grant Program to encourage the renovation of older apartments and unused vacant space above businesses to stimulate the economic recovery of the Downtown area. 2. That the maximum grant be for 50% of the eligible funds up to $15,000 ($7,500 from the City and $7,500 from the Region) per unit based on a minimum renovation of $30,000 and there be an expenditure cap of $150,000 or 20 units in 2012 and the same amount or number of units in 2013. 3. That the Residential Grant Program come into effect on June 1, 2012 and be established until the end of 2013. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Downtown has lost a number of businesses over the past couple of years. New residents living downtown is seen as a critical factor in supporting and keeping commercial uses. As a measure to help stimulate residential development and economic recovery within the Downtown, the Downtown BIA has suggested that the Residential Loan Program be changed to a Residential Grant Program. This program change is intended to encourage the renovation of older vacant apartments that have come under serious disrepair and vacant floor space above businesses in the Downtown. Staff recommends that there be a cap of $150,000 or 20 units in 2012 and a further $150,000 or 20 units in 2013. BACKGROUND On October 19, 2009, Council deferred part of Report PD- 2009 -63 recommending a change to the financial incentive programs for the Downtown which would have allowed Residential Grants along Queen Street and Erie Avenue. A further report was contemplated that would have seen a third party provide funding to cover the portion of May 29, 2012 - 2 - PD- 2012 -20 funds from the City. This latter proposal never proceeded to Council for their consideration. The Residential Loan Program has been available for seven years and only four applications have been approved within the Downtown area. As noted previously, the Downtown has lost a number of businesses over the past couple of years. It will be difficult to entice quality businesses to return to Downtown without generating more pedestrian traffic as many businesses are simply not sustainable with the limited amount of foot traffic now being experienced. Council has supported a number of initiatives in the past that have improved the appearance of Downtown. Not only have we seen a number of new facades and commercial building improvements, there has been almost $2.3 million of government funding provided to improve underground services, streetscaping with new sidewalks and street furnishings, decorated arches, historic street and building signs. It is expected that the streetscaping will be completed by early summer of this year. ANALYSIS Staff monitors the number of applications received under the financial incentive programs on an ongoing basis and works with landowners within the CIP areas encouraging the carrying out of improvements on their property. The intent of the financial incentive programs is to stimulate redevelopment and private sector investment. If certain programs are not working, Staff feels there is an obligation to advise Council and to propose changes to programs to meet the objectives of the Community Improvement Plan. There is a considerable amount of underutilized floor space above commercial buildings in the Downtown area. Through the proposed program change, it is hopeful that older apartments in disrepair will be improved and vacant space will be constructed with new residential apartments. The recommended program requirements for the change from a residential loan to a residential grant is as follows: 1. Grants will be paid to the landowner, only after all work is completed and all receipts are submitted to the satisfaction of the City. 2. Tenants are not eligible to receive the grant. 3. There be only one application accepted from each property owner (ie. Units which are served by a common doorway and interior hallway). 4. The landowner must spend a minimum of $10,000 per unit to be eligible for 50% grant (ie. $5,000 split between the City and Region). The maximum Grant will be $15,000 split with the Region (necessitating an expenditure of $30,000). 5. Ineligible items will include interior painting, cleaning, labour carried out by the owner, minor repairs such as patching holes in drywall, replacement of faucets, shower heads, appliances, etc. 6. Replacement windows should be applied for through the Commercial Building Facade program. May 29, 2012 - 3 - PD- 2012 -20 When contacting other municipalities that have CIP programs, we found there to be a mix of municipalities who provided residential grants and those that provide residential loans. We acknowledge that grants are easier to administer and are more attractive to landowners. The City of St. Catharines has a residential grant program and they have approved almost 200 new residential housing units in their downtown. If there are 40 improved and /or new apartments over the next year and a half in the Downtown, it would have a positive impact on the economy of the Downtown. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS At present, there are three CIP programs, Downtown, Historic Drummondville and City Wide. The latter program is specific to Brownfield rehabilitation while the other two are specific to these urban areas. The incentive programs were established to encourage redevelopment and reinvestment in the areas. As indicated, the residential grant program for Downtown CIP has not been widely utilized since inception and other incentives are being considered. At the inception of the CIP programs, there was a budget allotment in the General Purposes Budget for each CIP. In 2010, the annual budget allotment was eliminated during budget deliberations since the annual expenditures on the programs were not being fully utilized. The annual unspent amount was transferred in each year to a specific special purpose reserve for each program. Since that time, there has been no additional CIP money approved and the incentives have been funded from these reserves. At the time that the funding was eliminated from the budget, Council also directed staff to consolidate the three reserves into one fund. However, the Main and Ferry BIA requested that their portion of reserve be used to acquire the Serbian Cultural Centre as part of the redevelopment of the Sylvia Place Market as well as remain available for incentive programs. The Main and Ferry BIA believe that a new Market would be a catalyst for the economic rejuvenation of the Historic Drummondville area. The City has recently purchased this building and have fully utilized the portion of the reserve dedicated to this CIP. In fact, during 2011 Council approved a transfer of $50,000 from the City Wide CIP to the Historical Drummondville CIP to fund approved incentive programs. On the other hand, the Downtown BIA has not made requests to dedicate its available funding in the reserve for any land or building acquisitions. Rather the BIA feels that by encouraging more people to live and work Downtown, a positive economic impact will result for the area and City. It is their belief that a change to a grant program from a loan program will provide the initiative for this and are in support of staffs recommendation. The projected annual grant program of $150,000 for 2012 and 2013 can be accommodated in the remaining reserve of approximately $600,000. A further positive of this change is that the Niagara Region has recently enhanced its financial incentives programs and based on a Residential Grant of $15,000, they would contribute 50% or $7,500 per residential unit. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The Downtown has undergone considerable change over the past few years. The BIA has proposed a change to the residential loan program to a grant program to help stimulate new residential development in the Downtown. Such development would have a positive May 29, 2012 - 4 - PD- 2012 -20 impact by increasing the number of residents living in the Downtown. Additional residents will strengthen and promote economic development within the Downtown which satisfies one of Council's strategic priorities. To encourage the success of the Downtown, the program change from a Residential Loan to a Residential Grant is being proposed.

Noise will undoubtedly emanate from an event of this nature, however, I am confident with appropriate mitigating measures, a successful event can occur with minimal inconvenience to nearby residents. I would recommend the following: Direct any source of possible noise away from residential properties. Based on the configuration of the parking lot, directing noise toward the building. the hydro corridor and, generally, in an eastern direction would be advised. Configure the parking lot so that any activities which emanate noise are farthest away from residential properties. Relatedly, you may want to consider placing support items. such as trailers, toward the residential properties to create a possible noise buffer. ✓ Monitor music levels so they do not raise above the general noise of the event. Also, keeping the bass levels of the music down is advised. Pounding bass often creates the impression of noise as much as the actual volume of the music. ✓ Although the Scotiabank Convention Centre is on the fringe of the tourist area of the City, the municipal noise by -laws prohibits outdoor, amplified music after 9:00 p.m. Although an exemption may be sought, for this first time event, it would be advisable to have the end of the night concerts indoors. ✓ Often noise complaints can be pro - actively dealt with through outreach with nearby affected properties. Let your neighbours know of the upcoming event. You may wish to have a neighbourhood meeting with them to alleviate concerns. Street, P0.

Although the residents may not avail themselves of this opportunity, it shows that the facility and organizers want to be responsive to the concerns of nearby residents. Also, myself and my staff would be happy to meet with you again and the event organizers to finalize plans. It is in everyone's best interest to deal with any possible issues beforehand. 4t1A c.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F- 2012 -30 Monthly Tax Receivables Report F- 2012 -30 June 26, 2012 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 May 31, 2012 were $22.4 million compared to $25.2 million in 2011. During May, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 31.8% in 2011 to 27.9% in 2012. The City's finance staff has had continued success in resolving properties that are subject to registration for 2012. At this stage, 73.7% 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 2012 improved during the month of May. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at May 31, 2012 are $22.4 million. This represents a decrease from $25.2 million in arrears for the same period in 2011. 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 have 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, 2012, 403 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after five months of activity. This table shows 73.7% of the tax accounts or 297 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During May, thirteen accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 70.7% (April) to 73.7% (May). June 26, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -30 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 May, one registered property was redeemed. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 3.3% 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 May 31, 2012 is 27.9% which is a decrease from 2011's value of 31.8 %. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

BACKGROUND The City has a significant number of user fees that are charged for the delivery of services. The fees are reviewed regularly to ensure that the amount charged are reflective of the objectives of the division and corporation. The attached list of fees require Council approval. The effective date of the new fees will be July 1, 2012, except where otherwise applicable. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS User fees provide approximately 5% of the annual revenues generated by the City and offer an opportunity for the City to offset operating costs without tax increases. The 2012 user fee booklet is being compiled and will be published by the Finance Division. Changes in respect to the individual user fees for 2013 will be considered as an integral part of the 2013 Budget process. As per the Municipal Act, 2001, a copy of the Schedule of Fees booklet will be available for public inspection. Recommended by: Respectfully submitted: Todd Harrison, director of inance Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer F- 2012 -35 Niagaraaalls June 26, 2012 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls SUBMITTED BY: Finance Department SUBJECT: F- 2012 -35 General Insurance Report RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the 2012 -2013 Comprehensive Insurance Program from Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City requires a renewal of the Municipal Insurance program as the current coverages expire June 30, 2012. Staff have reviewed the existing program for adequacy of coverages and recommend that the City renew with Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. for a one year term from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013. The annual premium of $1,785,809 is an increase from the previous annualized program of $1,713,935. The year over year increase is $71,874 or 4.19 %. The premium increase is related to increased liability rates. This is indicative of the public sector environment and specifically the municipal sector as both sectors continue to experience significant increases in the severity of awards. In addition, the claims filed are increasing in frequency which is increasing the overall cost of claims administration and court costs. On a positive note the premium costs are within the operating budget provision for 2012. The City implemented an enhanced risk management program as a result of the insurance reviews conducted in 2011 and while these efforts have had positive results, the true impact on insurance cost is a long term endeavour. BACKGROUND The City requires an insurance program to mitigate potential liabilities incurred during the performance of its many services and responsibilities. On an annual basis, staff perform a review of the rates charged and the coverages provided for adequacy and completeness. The City has performed these reviews during this process. The City issued an RFP in 2011 for the municipal insurance program and underwent a significant external review of its risk management program. As a result of the RFP Frank Cowan Co. Ltd. was renewed as the insurance provider. Similarly, as a result of the Risk Management review, staff have been seconded on a 18 -month workplan to implement the recommendations of the extensive review. This assignment is ongoing and staff expect to report back in early 2013 with an update on the project. June 26, 2012 - 2 - F- 2012 -35 FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The insurance program is reviewed annually to ensure that the coverages are sufficient and that the municipal assets are properly valued in the program. The insurance program covers from July 1, 2012 to June 2013. The summary of the 2012 -2013 Insurance program is provided in Exhibit 1. The cost of the City's insurance program has increased from $1,713,935 to $1,785,809 for 2012 -2013. The year over year increase is $71,874 or 4.19 %. The premium increase is related to increased liability rates. The proposed insurance costs are within budget provision for 2012. In general, the municipal sector is a challenge for the insurance issuers as this sector continues to experience significant losses. Some of these losses have been driven by landmark cases. In addition, claims have dramatically increased in frequency and severity. Likewise, the municipal sector has additional complexity compared to other sectors due to the wide range of services provided. More specific to Niagara Falls, the significant number of visitors to the City in a year increases our municipal exposure compared to centres of equivalent populations. As stated, staff have increased efforts in risk management initiatives to mitigate our exposures, however, since much of the costs are driven by past experience, these initiatives will have a longer term impact.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Information Systems SUBJECT: IS- 2012 -01 City Hall Phone System Software Version Update RECOMMENDATION 1. That the quotation for the software version update of the City Hall phone system be awarded to Telus Communications Company in the amount of $126,842.86 plus applicable taxes and, 2. That the Supply and Services Section of the Clerks Department be authorized to issue a Purchase Order for this work in accordance with the Supply and Services Policy. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order to provide a higher level of customer service and eliminate potential downtime, Staff is seeking Council's approval to update the phone system software at City Hall. BACKGROUND The version of software that the City Hall phone system operates on will reach end -of -life for support this year resulting in potential downtime unless updated to current versions. The software update requires and will also include some newer versions of existing phone system hardware components. The City of Niagara Falls has existing maintenance contracts with Telus Communications Company for the support and operation of the City- wide phone system. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The purchase of this update represents a capital asset purchase and will be financed from Special Purpose Reserves dedicated to the replacement of Information Systems. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT This will meet Council's Strategic Priority for Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency by increasing the reliability of connectivity to meet the City's critical operating capabilities.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L- 2012 -15 Site Plans and Site Plan Agreements Procedure re Mortgages on Title Our File No. 2012 -73 RECOMMENDATION That the City cease the practice of requiring postponements of mortgages registered upon the title of lands upon which the City intends to register Site Plans and Site Plan Agreements. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than 40 years, the City has required that parties who execute Site Plans and enter into Site Plan Agreements with the City provide postponements of any mortgages registered against the title to the affected property. The process of obtaining postponements causes delays in the development process. The two alternatives proposed above may have the effect of eliminating this delay. BACKGROUND So far as current Staff can establish, as long as the City of Niagara Falls has been registering Site Plans, it has required the parties executing the Site Plan and accompanying Agreement to provide postponements of the interest of any mortgagee in the property to be developed, to the Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. The purpose of the postponements was to give the City priority over any mortgage on the property. By insisting upon priority, the City ensures that, should a mortgagee have to take over the property, there would be no argument that the mortgagee would have to comply with the requirements of the Agreement and the Site Plan. A Building Permit cannot be issued until the requirements of the City's Site Plan By -law have been met. These requirements include the requirement that notice of the Site Plan Agreement be registered. Currently, registration of notice of the Site Plan Agreement requires that postponements be provided. Frequently, over the years, the requirement for the postponements has caused a delay in the registration process and, in turn, a delay in the issuance of the Building Permit. June 26, 2012 - 2 - L- 2012 -15 Staff have resorted to issuing Conditional Building Permits, however, this increases the cost to the developer and frequently results in further delay in the registration of the Site Plan Agreement. Several projects have long since been completed before the postponements are provided and notice of the Site Plan Agreement actually registered. This is not a desirable situation. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE Staff have canvassed other municipalities about best practices. Most municipalities require postponements. Others require the mortgagees to sign the Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. However some others, in particular the City of Toronto and the City of Burlington, do not require postponements at all. The issue is one of weighing the benefits against the risks. The risk to the City is that, in the event a mortgagee with priority takes over the property, the mortgagee would try to rely on real estate law to avoid complying with the Site Plan and the City's development regime. The argument essentially would be, "Was on title before you were, so I don't have to comply with the Site Plan ". The flaw in that argument is that the mortgagee is then left with no development rights that are approved by Council. The statutory authority for the Site Plan By -law is section 41 of the Planning Act, R. S. O. 1990 c. P. 13. That section provides as follows: Establishment of site plan control area 1. (2) Where in an official plan an area is shown or described as a proposed site plan control area, the council of the local municipality in which the proposed area is situate may, by by -law, designate the whole or any part of such area as a site plan control area. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, s. 41 (2). Approval of plans or drawings 1. (4) No person shall undertake any development in an area designated under subsection (2) unless the council of the municipality or, where a referral has been made under subsection (12), the Municipal Board has approved one or both, as the council may determine, of the following: 1. Plans showing the location of all buildings and structures to be erected and showing the location of all facilities and works to be provided in conjunction therewith and of all facilities and works required under clause (7) (a), including facilities designed to have regard for accessibility for persons with disabilities. 2. Drawings showing plan, elevation and cross - section views for each building to be erected, except a building to be used for residential purposes containing less than twenty - five dwelling units, which drawings are sufficient to display, (a) the massing and conceptual design of the proposed building; (b) the relationship of the proposed building to adjacent buildings, streets, and exterior areas to which members of the public have access; (c) the provision of interior walkways, stairs, elevators and escalators to which members of the public have access from streets, open spaces and interior walkways in adjacent buildings; June 26, 2012 - 3 - L- 2012 -15 (d) matters relating to exterior design, including without limitation the character, scale, appearance and design features of buildings, and their sustainable design, but only to the extent that it is a matter of exterior design, if an official plan and a by -law passed under subsection (2) that both contain provisions relating to such matters are in effect in the municipality; (e) the sustainable design elements on any adjoining highway under a municipality's jurisdiction, including without limitation trees, shrubs, hedges, plantings or other ground cover, permeable paving materials, street furniture, curb ramps, waste and recycling containers and bicycle parking facilities, if an official plan and a by -law passed under subsection (2) that both contain provisions relating to such matters are in effect in the municipality; and (f) facilities designed to have regard for accessibility for persons with disabilities. R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, s. 41 (4); 2002, c. 9, s. 56 (1); 2006, c. 23, s. 16 (3, 4); 2009, c. 33, Sched. 21, s. 10 (9). The Site Plan By -law forbids development without the authorization of Council. The only development that is approved for the property the mortgagee takes over will be the development illustrated in the applicable Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. Unless the mortgagee wants to abandon the development that has already been approved, it cannot avoid the existing Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. In addition, in such a situation, the City will be holding securities which, if calculated correctly, will secure the performance of the requirements of the Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. The writer has been involved in three situations in which mortgagees took over properties and had priority over the existing Site Plan Agreement. In each case, the mortgagees were entirely cooperative and the matter was resolved quite smoothly. Having noted these three cases, it is possible that an uncooperative mortgagee could be encountered and that litigation would be required in order to sort out the situation. However, as the City of Niagara Falls has never encountered such a situation and as municipalities the size and sophistication of Toronto and Burlington are willing to take this risk, Council may wish to instruct Staff to adopt a similar course of action. In the alternative, if Council is not comfortable with the Staff recommendation, the City could adopt the strategy of having the mortgagees execute the Site Plan and Site Plan Agreement. In this way, the Building Permit can be released as soon as the Site Plan and Agreement are signed. This method is used in a number of municipalities; it appears to be most favoured by smaller ones.

We are in full support of the upgrades to the promenade as they are long overdue and the promenade area has been an eyesore for several years due to the lack of irrigation and volume of foot traffic. We are very pleased with the plans submitted by the landscaping department and we would ask that as the work is carried out that the flow of pedestrians is hindered as little as possible. We ask that as much as possible a safe pathway is kept open. With regards to the intersection, although we support the project, we cannot support the July 23rd — August 24th construction period. This of course is the busiest time of year in the area and to obstruct traffic would be a nightmare. With the many delays in the VTS system, we respectfully request that the work is postponed until this fall. We thank city staff for their hard work and cooperation in this process.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW- 2012 -37 Chippawa Infrastructure Investment Update RECOMMENDATION That this report be received for Council's information and filed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City is moving forward with the recommendations identified in the "Chippawa Sewer Flooding Relief Study Class EA "Study. City staff, in co- operation with the Region of Niagara, are proceeding with the design and construction of the new storage tanks at the Low Lift Sewage Pumping Station. A new storage tank at Riverview Park is being considered in the 10 year forecast subject to budgetary considerations. Ongoing investigation and removal or reduction of extraneous flows entering the Chippawa sewer system will also continue, providing a significant reduction in the wet weather flow loading on the system. All of these measures will achieve the objectives of reducing the risk of basement flooding and eliminating the need for emergency sewage pumping. The proposed plans represent a $9 million investment in the Chippawa sewer system and over $6.7 million in other Municipal Capital Infrastructure Improvements. BACKGROUND At its meeting on January 24th, 2012, during consideration of a Zoning By -Law Amendment in Chippawa, City Council requested that Municipal Works staff report back on Capital Infrastructure Investments in Chippawa. Specifically, the request was generated as a result of numerous concerns raised by residents about the existing Sewer capacity and the ability of the system to accommodate additional sewage flows as the result of new or intensified development. The Chippawa area sewer system has been prone to surcharging during heavy rainfall events, resulting in periodic basement flooding occurrences as well as requiring Operations staff to initiate emergency sewer pumping to relieve the system pressures. As a result, the system has been extensively studied and monitored to determine possible causes of the surcharging and back -ups and provide potential solutions to address the capacity issues. The most recent study findings were presented in Report MW- 2010 -63, dated December 13, 2010. This study was the Environmental Screening Report for the "Chippawa Sewer Flooding Relief Study Class EA ", dated December 2010 prepared by CH2M Hill for the City of Niagara Falls. The Executive Summary of the ESR was attached to MW- 2010 -63, June 26, 2012 - 2 - MW- 2012 -37 including the project objectives, the system modelling summary, list of alternative developed, and recommended preferred solutions to be implemented. This report will summarize the previous study results and the recommendations put forth, which were adopted by Council at that time. It will also provide an update on the progress of these initiatives as well as any other related efforts to alleviate the sewer surcharging and capacity issues in the Chippawa Area. ANALYSIS /RATIONALE The "Chippawa Sewer Flooding Relief Study "was to analyse, model and monitor existing Sanitary Sewer system performance in the Chippawa area. The goal was to provide solutions to reduce: ► the risk of chronic basement flooding during heavy rainfall events; ► the frequency and magnitude of sanitary sewer overflow events; ► the need for emergency sewer pumping. The study indicated that the system had adequate capacity to accommodate existing Dry weather flows, but experiences capacity issues and surcharging during the storms with 2 and 5 year return period intensity and duration in four identified Areas of Concern. A list of alternative solutions was developed and compared for these areas to determined the preferred and most effective solutions. These included providing either in -line or off -line storage within strategic points of the system, or a series of upgrades to existing sewer sizes to accommodate the anticipated wet weather flows. The recommended alternatives were to: ► Replace an existing throttle pipe section with a 600 mm diameter sewer and construct a 4,300 m3 capacity storage tank at the existing Low Lift Sewage Pumping Station located on Chippawa Parkway adjacent to the Welland River. The estimated cost of this solution is approximately $5,540,000. ► Construct a 1,600 m3 capacity storage tank at Riverview Park on Cattell Drive. The estimated cost of this solution is approximately $3,640,000. Implementing these solutions would provide an increased wet weather flow capacity of the system and greatly reduce the risk of basement flooding and eliminate the need for emergency pumping up to the 5 year return period intensity and duration storm event. Staff have proceeded with implementation of the first solution, that being the storage tank at the Low Lift Sewage Pumping Station. The pumping station is owned and operated by the Regional Municipality of Niagara. As such, Regional staff are acting as the lead facilitators of project, with the City acting as a cost sharing partner. The Region is also assisting with the funding through their Combined Sewer Overflow Municipal Assistance Program of up to 50% of the total cost. This project was approved as part of the 2012 Capital Works Budget. The Region has retained an Engineering Consultant to complete the design, which is currently underway. It is anticipated that the design and tendering process should be completed by around the end of 2012, with construction taking place in early 2013 and lasting approximately 12 months. June 26, 2012 - 3 - MW- 2012 -37 The implementation of the second solution, that being the storage tank at Riverview Park, will be included in the forthcoming 10 year Capital Needs plan, with recommendations for its implementation within the next five years, subject to budgetary considerations. Other Projects and Programs The continued investigation of sources of extraneous flows and removing them from the system will also significantly increase the effectiveness of the implemented measures. Specifically noted is the ongoing City -wide Weeping Tile Disconnection program, which provides important source control removal of storm and groundwater connections to the Sanitary sewage collection system. The following provides a summary of Emergency Pumping data in Chippawa over the past few years, along with a summary of Weeping Tile disconnections within Chippawa as compared to City -wide totals: Emergency Pumping Summary ► 2009 - 5 Rainfall Events - 8,500 m3 total pumped ► 2010 - 1 Rainfall Event - 10,900 m3 total pumped ► 2011 - 6 Rainfall Events - 8,900 m3 total pumped ► 2012 - 2 Rainfall Events - 4,800 m3 total pumped (to date) Weeping Tile Disconnection Summary ► Prior to 2010 - 46 disconnections ► 2010 - 11 disconnections (47 City -wide) ► 2011 - 8 disconnections (60 City -wide) ► 2012 - 2 disconnections (20 City -wide) Gunning and Mears Pumping Station Upgrades Due to some operational concerns at the existing in -line storage facility and sewage pumping station at Gunning Drive and Mears Crescent, funding was approved in the 2012 Capital Works budget for the retention of an Engineering Consultant to undertake an investigation and analysis of the existing facility. Some of the system components have reached the end of their useful life, and it is desirable to potential modify the current operation of the facility in order to improve efficiencies and effectiveness. The consultant retention process is currently underway and it is anticipated that the investigation, analysis and design should be completed by year end. The recommended improvement and upgrades to the facility will implemented in 2013, subject to budgetary considerations. Ongoing Monitoring and Investigations City staff will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the solutions are they are implemented, as well as continuing to investigate the source of extraneous flows entering the sewage collection system. Mitigative, operational, maintenance and rehabilitation measures will be implemented as needed to reduce or eliminate the extraneous flow contributions, hence freeing up additional capacity within the existing system. Through demonstration of the effective increase in the system capacity, can consideration been given to the introduction of additional flows from new or intensified development.

That City Council adopt the recommendations set out in the Environmental Study Report for the Chippawa Sewer Relief Study Class Environmental Assessment; 2. That staff be directed to advertise the Notice of Study Completion as set out in the Municipal Class EA process EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The completion of the Environmental Assessment process will initiate the design and future construction of the preferred option as identified in the Environmental Study Report. The implementation of the storage tanks will serve to alleviate the current flooding conditions presently experienced in Chippawa. BACKGROUND The Chippawa Sewer Flooding Relief Study was initiated this year with the City appointing CH2M Hill to complete the Class Environmental Assessment (MW- 2010 -22). The City completed an extensive flow monitoring program of the sewer system in Chippawa which was utilized to assess the system flow characteristics. The study identified the areas that contributed extraneous flows causing surcharged conditions during heavy rainfall events and developed alternative options and implementation strategies to alleviate flooding occurrences. The Schedule B Municipal Class EA process included a Public Information Centre held in Chippawa on November 3rd, 2010 giving local residents an opportunity to be engaged in the process. Public comments received both at the meeting and days later were incorporated in the preparation of the Environmental Study report. December 13, 2010 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE - 2 - MW- 2010 -63 Attached is a copy of the Executive Summary of the Environmental Study report which highlights the following recommendations: It has been determined that the preferred solutions to mitigate the adverse affects of excessive wet weather flows in the study area are: • Alternative 1E: Replace throttle with 600mm sewer and add storage tank at Low Lift SPS. • Alternative 4A: Installation of a storage tank in Riverview Park. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The estimated cost of the preferred solution is $5,540,000 for the Low Lift Pumping Station storage option and $3,340,000 for the storage tanks in the Riverview Park option. Regional staff have indicated that these projects meet the project eligibility criteria for the Combined Sewer Overflow /Municipal Assistance Program (CSO /MAP) funding program to a maximum of fifty percent (50 %) of the total cost. Allocations for funding are only committed one year at a time. As a result staff are recommending that the cost of implementing the preferred solution be incorporated into the five year Capital Forecast and the projects be phased according to availability of CSO /MAP funding and the City's Utility Budget. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendation is consistent with Council's strategic priorities to establish infrastructure investment priorities and to continue to monitor the efficiency of the organization.

The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Provincial Construction Ltd. at the tendered price of $1,270,178.77. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City's Municipal Works Infrastructure & Asset Division has determined that Spring Street from Stanley Avenue to the westerly limit requires major infrastructure replacement and road reconstruction. This includes the construction of storm sewers that will reduce City wide combined sewer overflows and alleviate basement flooding conditions in the immediate area which has been identified in the City's ongoing sewer separation replacement program. In addition, the replacement of the existing 150mm cast iron watermain on Spring Street is a priority as part of the City's ongoing watermain replacement program. Tenders for this contract were opened on Tuesday, June 19, 2012 and the lowest bid of $1,270,178.77 received from Provincial Construction Ltd. is being recommended for acceptance. This project was part of the approved 2011 Capital Budget. BACKGROUND The existing watermain and sewer separation on Spring Street, Temperance Avenue and Gladstone Avenue were added in 2007 to the Operational Works List for the City's ongoing Watermain and sewer separation replacement programs. The existing 150mm watermain is older cast iron pipe and has been rated as "Very Poor." The existing combined sewer was constructed in 1921 and has also been graded as "Very Poor ". The proposed sewer separation will provide an improved level of service and increase the efficiency of the sewer systems in the area. June 26, 2012 -2- MW- 2012 -38 Included in this project is Temperance Avenue from Ferry Street to Spring Street and Gladstone Avenue from Ferry Street to Spring Street. Both of these street sections have equally deficient infrastructure requiring immediate upgrading.

McLeod Geoff Holman, Director of Municipal Works Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Spring Street Reconstruction - Location Plan - MW- 2012 -38 STANLEY AVENUE NiagaraFalls REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development PD- 2012 -38 June 26, 2012 SUBJECT: PD- 2012 -38 PLC - 2012 -003, Request for Removal of Part -Lot Control Lots 20 -23, Plan 59M -251 6339 -6367 Pinestone Road Developer: Amyn Kassam RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the request and pass the by -law included in tonight's agenda to designate Lots 20 -23 of Registered Plan 59M -251, as exempt from Part-Lot Control. 2. That the developer be given two years to adjust the shape of the lots and notify the City when the separate deeds have been registered. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Amyn Kassam has requested a by -law be passed to exempt Lots 20 -23, Plan 59M -251 from being subject to Part-Lot Control to allow the common lot lines to be adjusted to match the designs of the proposed townhouse dwelling units. The request can be supported based on the following: The use of this Planning Act mechanism is an acceptable alternative to a consent because the lots are located within a registered subdivision and their development for townhouse dwelling units has been anticipated since 2007. • The approval will not result in additional dwelling units, but simply allow the common lot lines to be reconfigured to be parallel with each other. • The zoning permits on street townhouse dwelling units and the adjusted Tots would comply with the zoning requirements. BACKGROUND Proposal Amyn Kassam has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control removed from Lots 20 -23, Plan 59M -251 which are located on the east side of Pinestone Road, just north of Sandhill Drive (see Schedule 1). The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that allows the reconfiguration of lot lines and /or the division of lots and blocks of land within registered plans of subdivision. An on street townhouse dwelling containing four dwelling units is proposed to be built on the four lots. Refer to Schedule 2 for further detail. June 26, 2012 ANALYSIS /RATIONALE - 2 - PD- 2012 -38 The subject Tots are located within the Neighbourhoods of St. David's Plan of Subdivision (59M -251) which was registered in1998. The subject lots were intended to be developed with detached dwellings when the subdivision was registered. The subdivision contains a mix of detached and on street townhouse dwellings. Appropriate zones were placed on the lots and blocks to guide the development of detached and on street townhouses when the plan of subdivision was approved. In 2007, Council amended the zoning on the four lots that were intended for detached dwellings to allow an on street townhouse dwelling instead. Now the subject Tots are zoned Residential Mixed (R3 -796) which only permits an on street townhouse dwelling. The common lot lines between the subject Tots are not parallel due to the curvature of the street. This is not an issue when detached dwellings are built because there are yards between the dwellings. Since townhouse dwelling units do not have yards between them and the developer wishes to build units that are rectangular and parallel to each other, the common lot lines need to be reconfigured to be parallel with each other. Part Lot Control provisions under the Planning Act prevent lands that are within a registered plan of subdivision from being further divided without a consent to sever. Municipalities have the ability to exempt property from Part Lot Control, which would allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a lot or block to be conveyed without a consent. The purpose of this Part Lot Control exemption request is to allow the lot lines separating the lots to be reconfigured so that they are parallel with each other. A by -law time limit of two years should be adequate to construct the dwelling units and create the new lot lines. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council's priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario Recreation & Culture R &C- 2012 -14 Naming Rights at the Niagara Falls History Museum RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute an Agreement between the City of Niagara Falls and Ontario Power Generation Inc. ( "OPGI ") for the naming rights to the Temporary Exhibitions Galleries at the Niagara Falls History Museum. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Niagara Falls History Museum project is proceeding on schedule and staff is coordinating the completion of the interior features, including the construction of new exhibit displays for the City's many historical artifacts. The Niagara Falls Museums Advisory Board has pursued many corporate and private sponsors to assist with the construction costs of the Museum. OPGI has requested that a formal agreement accompany their support of the project that totals $150,000. This agreement would formalize our the obligations for the next 25 years. BACKGROUND On June 9, 2008, Council approved the then named Lundy's Lane History Museum (current Niagara Falls History Museum) expansion and renovations. Since that time, the Fundraising Committee has worked on soliciting financial support of the project from the private sector. To date $1.1 million has been raised by the Committee. Several of the rooms and spaces at the new Museum were identified as having potential to be named for larger dollar values as a way of enticing supporters to this project. On such space was the Temporary Exhibition Gallery. This gallery is intended to house exhibitions which eithertravel from other institutions or are developed in -house by Museum staff. Early on in the process, OPGI identified this as a space that they would like to be affiliated with. Since 2010, OPGI and the Museum staff, along with assistance from the City solicitor have developed an agreement to ensure both parties are satisfied with the conditions of the support for the project. June 26, 2012 - 2 - R&C 2012 -14 Delays in the process have not suspended OPGI's support for the project. To date, OPGI has made two installments of $25,000 to the project. FINANCIAL /STAFFING /LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The original campaign to support the entire Legacy Project, which included the Museum was taken on by the former Board of Museums to raise $2M towards the project costs. To date, the Fundraising Committee has raised over $1.1M toward the construction of the Museum through both private and corporate donations. As of June 15, 2012, $650,678 has been received for the project, with $444,321 pledged towards the project. More than 200 separate individuals /corporations /organizations have supported this project. Donations over $10,000 receive naming right opportunities for various areas in the new facility. The Committee continues to raise funds for this project. The main naming rights area that still has not found a sponsor is the Theatre. The Committee continues to pursue potential corporations and individuals for this opportunity. Several fundraising events are ongoing, with the most recent being the Great Niagara Portage Adventure which took place on June 9, 2012 at Oakes Park.

As the Province desires to increase public transportation ridership to support the development of strong communities, the Ministry maintains a Dedicated Gas Tax Funds for Public Transportation Program (the "Program ") under which two (2) cents of the existing provincial gas tax will be provided to municipalities for public transportation expenditures. Any funding to the Municipality by the Ministry will be provided in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Letter of Agreement and the Dedicated Gas Tax Funds for Public Transportation Program — 2011 / 2012 Guidelines and Requirements (the "guidelines and requirements "). .../2 -2 In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Letter of Agreement and the guidelines and requirements, which have been reviewed and are understood by the Municipality and are hereby incorporated by reference, the Ministry and the Municipality covenant and agree as follows: 1. To support increased public transportation ridership in the Municipality, and in recognition of the Municipality's need for predictable and sustainable funding to support investments in the renewal and expansion of public transportation systems, the Ministry agrees to provide funding to the Municipality under the Program in an amount up to $1,138,262 in accordance with and subject to the terms set out in this Letter of Agreement and the guidelines and requirements, with $853,697 payable on receipt of this signed Letter of Agreement and related authorizing municipal by -law, and the remaining payments payable thereafter on a quarterly basis. 2. Despite Section 1, the Municipality understands and agrees that any amount payable under this Letter of Agreement may be subject, at the Ministry's discretion, to adjustment to reflect final gas tax receipts and any other adjustments as set out in the guidelines and requirements, including those related to annual appropriations of funds by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. 3. If the Municipality receives dedicated gas tax funds on behalf of any other municipality, and the other municipality has agreed to the Municipality collecting the dedicated gas tax funds on its behalf, the Municipality shall provide, upon request and in compliance with the requirements set out in the guidelines and requirements, any applicable municipal by -law and legal agreement between the Municipality and the other municipality providing for such arrangement to the Ministry prior to the payment of any dedicated gas tax funds by the Ministry under this Letter of Agreement. 4. The Municipality shall deposit the funds received under this Letter of Agreement in a dedicated gas tax funds reserve account, and use such funds only in accordance with the guidelines and requirements. .../3 3 The Municipality shall adhere to the reporting and accountability measures set out in the guidelines and requirements, and shall provide all requested documents to the Ministry. 6. The Municipality understands and agrees that the funding provided under this Letter of Agreement represents the full extent of the Ministry's and Province's financial contribution under the Program and that no additional funds will be provided by either the Ministry or the Province for such purposes to the Municipality for the 2011 / 2012 Program year. 7 The Ministry may terminate this Letter of Agreement at any time, without cause, upon giving at least sixty (60) days written notice to the Municipality. If the Ministry terminates this Letter of Agreement without cause, it may cancel all further dedicated gas tax funds payments. Where the Ministry has terminated this Letter of Agreement under this Section, the Ministry may, after determining the Municipality's reasonable costs to terminate any binding agreement for any eligible public transportation service acquired or to be acquired with dedicated gas tax funds provided under this Letter of Agreement, provide the Municipality with additional funding to offset, in whole or in part, such costs. The additional funding may be provided only if there is an appropriation for this purpose, and in no event shall the additional funding result in the total funding under this Letter of Agreement exceeding the amount specified under Section 1. 8. If the Legislature fails to appropriate sufficient funds for the Program, the Ministry may terminate this Letter of Agreement immediately by giving written notice to the Municipality. In such instance the Ministry may cancel all further dedicated gas tax fund payments. 9. Any provisions, including those in the guidelines and requirements, which by their nature are intended to survive the termination or expiration of this Letter of Agreement, shall survive its termination or expiration. 10. The Municipality hereby consents to the execution by the Ministry of this Letter of Agreement by means of an electronic signature. .../4 -4 If the Municipality is satisfied with and accepts the terms and conditions of this Letter of Agreement, please secure the required signatures for the four enclosed copies of this Letter of Agreement and return two fully signed copies to: Ministry of Transportation Division Services and Program Management Office 27th Floor, Suite # 2702 777 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario M7A 2J8 Once the Ministry has received the signed copies, the last signature of which shall be the effective date of this Letter of Agreement, together with a copy of the authorizing municipal by -law, the Ministry will make arrangements for the payment of the dedicated gas tax funds to the Municipality.
