Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: 2016-13 Monthly Tax Receivables Report— February 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 February 29, 2016 were $18.0 million compared to $20.9 million in 2015. During February, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 25.1% in 2015 to 21.0% in 2016. The City's finance staff has begun the tax collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2016. There are currently twenty-eight 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 2016 improved during the month of February. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at February 29, 2016 are $18.0 million. This represents a decrease from $20.9 million in arrears for the same period in 2015. 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, 2016, 399 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after two months of activity. This table shows 56.9% of the tax accounts 2 F-2016-13 March 22, 2016 or 227 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During February, twelve accounts were paid in full. 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 February, eight properties were registered. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.3% 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 February 29, 2016 is 21.0% which is a decrease from 2015's value of 25.1%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works — Cemetery Services SUBJECT: MW-2016-02 Updated Cemetery By-Law RECOMMENDATION 1. That the newly prepared Cemetery By-Law, in keeping with recent legislative changes and Ministry recommendations, be approved. 2. That following City Council's approval and prior to implementation, thirty (30) days public notice be given, outlining the changes in the new Cemetery By-Law. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2012, changes to the Provincial Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act (the "Act") came into effect. Later that year, City Council adopted the Cemetery Services Delivery Review, which provided the frame-work and direction for Cemetery operations, development and maintenance for the foreseeable future. In light of legislative changes, service delivery review and the fact that the existing Cemetery By-law had been amended on a number of previous occasions, from an administrative point of view, it made sense to prepare a new by-law. BACKGROUND Cemetery by-laws determine and present the policies that govern the administration, operation and maintenance of municipal cemeteries. The by-law is a useful public document, outlining the rules and regulations concerning lot sales, interments, cemetery services, monument restriction, flower bed regulations, as well as the general administration and operation of the municipal cemeteries. A copy of Cemetery By-Law is issued to the Interment Rights Holder upon purchase of a cemetery plot, columbarium niche and/or an order of an interment service. The proposed Cemetery By-Law is listed under the By-law section of the agenda. The revisions reflect requirements under the Provincial legislation, Council's direction as per the Cemetery Services Delivery Review and sections from the existing by-law that are still applicable. 2 MW-2016-02 March 22, 2016 It should also be noted that the proposed by-law has already been reviewed and vetted with the Ministry of Government Services and Consumer Affairs, the Ministry that enforces the rules in the Act regarding cemeteries, cremation, burials and scatterings. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Subject to Council's approval, there is a 30 day, Public Notice period required, followed by formal approval by the Ministry of Government Services and Consumer Affairs. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendation is consistent with Council's Strategic Priority to achieve organizational efficiency and effectiveness in the Corporation's delivery of municipal services. tl I( Recommended by: Geoff Holman, Director of Municipal Works Respectfully submitted: d Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer A \ Mark Richardson/Geoff Holman/Dean lorfida MW-2016-12 Niagarapalls March 22, 2016 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2016-12 Tender Award Contract No. 2016-03 2016 Asphalt Overlay Phase 1 RECOMMENDATION 1. The contract be awarded to the lowest bidder Rankin Construction, with authorization to spend up to the budgeted amount of$600,000. 2. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary contract documents. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Phase 1 of the Asphalt Overlay Program consists of streets that require surface course asphalt. These are roads that were part of a previously completed capital project that have concluded the one year maintenance period. The approved budget for Asphalt Overlay Phase 1 in the 2016 Capital Budget is $600,000. Construction is proposed to begin no later than mid-May, 2016 and is expected to take approximately fifty (50) working days BACKGROUND The Asphalt Overlay Program is derived from the City's pavement management system which evaluates individual road sections based on their structural condition (shape), ride condition (smoothness) and surface distress (cracking and potholes) in order to assign a condition rating. The condition rating is helpful in determining which sections should be resurfaced and which require reconstruction. Annual asphalt overlay contracts are called to provide timely maintenance to prolong the life of the roadway and postpone the higher cost of reconstruction. Additionally, the first phase of the Asphalt Overlay Program is utilized to provide the placement of the surface course asphalt on previously completed capital projects that have concluded their one-year maintenance period. The work generally involves filling-in curb sections at catch basins, adjusting appurtenances (catch basins, manholes and valve boxes) to finished grade and the supply and placement of the hot mix surface course asphalt. 2 MW-2016-12 March 22, 2016 The following streets have been included in the 2016 Asphalt Overlay Phase 1 program: STREET FROM TO McLeod Road Pin Oak Drive Approx. 80m east of Kalar Road First Ave Bridge Street North Limit Maple Street Third Avenue Approx. 40m west of Sixth Avenue North Street Stanley Avenue Slater Avenue Forsythe Street/ Stanley Avenue Slater Avenue/ Lewis Avenue Magdalen Street Mulhern Street Paddock Trail Drive Montrose Road (Regional Road 98) Baldwin Avenue Mulhern street Approx. 190m north of Mulhern Street ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The project tender documents were picked-up by six (6) construction firms. Four (4) bids were submitted. The Tender Opening Committee, in the presence of the City Clerk, Dean lorfida, Manager of Supply and Services, Dave Butyniec and the Construction Services Supervisor, Nick Golia, opened tenders on Tuesday, March 8th, 2016. The following is a summary of the totalled tender prices (excluding HST) from the contractor submissions, complete with corrections as noted. Contractor City Tender Price Corrected Bid Rankin Construction St. Catharines $ 527,470.00 N/A Brennan Paving Port Colborne $ 562,235.00 N/A Norjohn Contracting & Niagara Falls $ 569,000.00 N/A Paving Circle P. Paving Stevensville $ 614,025.00 N/A The lowest tender price was received from Rankin Construction in the amount of $527,470.00. 3 MW-2016-12 March 22, 2016 Rankin Construction has successfully completed many projects of this scale within the Niagara Region and for the City of Niagara Falls; they are capable of undertaking and completing this project. Construction would start no later than Mid-May, 2016 and take an estimated fifty (50) working days to complete. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Funding for the Asphalt Overlay Phase 1 project was approved in the 2016 Capital Budget in the amount of $600,000.00. The Asphalt Overlay Program is a critical component to the City's Asset Management Plan and Risk Management Plan, staff recommends utilizing the full budgeted amount to address additional roads. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this Capital Works project meets the intent of Council's Strategic Priority to establish infrastructure sustainability within the City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2016-04 Niagara Falls Cultural Development Grant RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council approve the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Grant Program Information and Application. 2. And that Recreation & Culture staff prepare a year-end report to summarize 2016 successful applicants and outcomes. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Niagara Falls Culture Plan Implementation Strategy, R&C-2015-13 was approved by City Council September 15, 2015. One of the identified top priorities is to develop a culture funding program for Niagara Falls Culture organizations. Council approved $20,000 in the 2016 operating budget to create a culture funding initiative. The applicant must be a resident of Niagara Falls or an organization that operates in the City. Funding cannot be used for operating expenses or capital infrastructure. A list of funding exclusions is detailed in the Program Information document, Attachment #1. Applications for the Niagara Falls Cultural Development grant will be available April 1, 2016 with the application deadline of June 10, 2016. An information session will take place May 4th, 7 pm at the Niagara Falls History Museum. Successful applicants will be announced July 15, 2016 to deliver new cultural initiatives, assist with an ongoing program, or an event occurring from April to December, 2016. The Objectives of this grant program is to: • Allocate funding to new cultural initiatives and innovative programs and projects that engage the local community with cultural and heritage-related ideas and activities; • Build capacity in Niagara Falls' culture sector; • Increase access to culture for residents and visitors in Niagara Falls; • Promote cultural partnerships between public, private and governmental sectors; • Provide support to Niagara Falls culture groups and participants; • Celebrate Niagara Falls' history, people, and identity. 2 R&C-2016-004 March 22, 2016 BACKGROUND The Culture Plan was received and referred to staff and committees to develop the Implementation Plan, Report R&C-2015-05 at the April 28, 2015, Council meeting. During the Culture Plan community consultation, culture stakeholders sent a consistent message, additional funding is required for Niagara Falls artists and culture organizations. The Culture Plan states, when Niagara Falls culture funding levels are benchmarked to other communities it appears the City is "underfunding" its cultural sector. Two of Culture Plan recommendations relate directly to the concern of "underfunding" the culture sector. To develop a transparent and equitable grant program, Recreation & Culture staff, working with the Arts, Culture & Museum committee researched other municipal culture investment funding programs to develop the Culture Development Grant criteria and application. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Niagara Falls Culture Implementation Plan that was presented to Council on September 15, 2015, stated one of the objectives for 2016 was: To Increase funding for Culture groups and for innovative art projects: This will be the development of a programme to fund projects and events that enrich the lives of the citizens of Niagara Falls. The Culture Plan identified the following needs within our community: In future, consideration should be given to funding more such groups (assuming they meet objective criteria relating to the provision of arts, culture and heritage related programs). Particular components of this recommendation would include designation of a pool of funds to be allocated to culture: o articulation of specific criteria for groups to meet in applying for such funds: these may relate to the provision of certain types of programming: children, teens, specialty cultural areas such as writers' workshops; o an annual application process, with clear timeframes and deadlines; o transparency to the community in terms of funding allocated; o clear `reporting back' requirements so that municipal staff and Council can see the results from funds allocated; o provision of feedback to organizations that were unsuccessful in any given year, so that they might be more successful in the following funding round. It also identified the following need as well: Fund Innovative Arts Projects and Ideas: Every year, new cultural initiatives and ideas should be encouraged throughout the City. One way to do this would be to allocate a certain amount of new funding (e.g. $5,000 - $10,000) to new cultural 3 R&C-2016-004 March 22, 2016 initiatives and projects. A jury-reviewed process should be set up to review applications and ideas, and award the amount to one or two of the most innovative projects that have the potential to engage the local community with cultural and heritage related ideas and activities. Both report recommendations were merged in the report to create the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Grant program. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Approved budget for the Niagara Falls Cultural Development Grant is $20,000. The maximum level of funding that will be allocated to one project is $5,000. Recreation & Culture staff working with the Arts, Culture & Museum committee will promote and review the applications. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Strategic Priority, A Vibrant and Well Planned City Foster culture as a key contributor to attracting talent, providing quality of life and supporting creative businesses. Key Action: Present the 2014 Culture Plan recommendations and develop a phased plan based on Council direction. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2016-13 WEGO Purple/Green Line Pilot Initiative RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the WEGO Purple/Green Line Pilot Initiative, Option A, as outlined in this report. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council at it's meeting of February 23, 2016, referred the matter of the WEGO Purple/Green Pilot Initiative as outlined in report # TS 2016-12, to a future Council meeting. Prior to starting the WEGO Visitor Transportation System in August 2012, in consultation with the Downtown, the Purple Line was added as a last minute addition. It's purpose was to provide WEGO service to the Downtown because the Green Line did not turn into the Downtown. After three and a half years of operating experience, numerous tweaks and adjustments, it has been determined that the WEGO purple line is is a duplicate service that can be more effectively operated by the consolidation proposed. The Downtown can be better served by the Green Line, because it carries almost 15 times the riders that the Purple Line does and operates year round. In addition, the Green Line offers 12 minute headways during the peak operating times and carries 90% of its ridership when Summer GO Train is operating. This would improve opportunities to capture tourist visits to the Downtown as well as improving connectivity between Tablerock and Niagara on the Lake. As Council is aware, prior to the implementation of the WEGO system, the City and Niagara Parks Commission operated independent systems for the tourist industry. The City's service delivery system was known as the Falls Shuttle. The annual cost of this operation was approximately $400,000. Since the implementation of the new system, the City has operated its portion of WEGO with the same net budget impact. In the event of overspending or under revenues, the City utilizes reserves to maintain the net impact. This reserve was established in 2012 and is identified as the FMC reserve. At the end of 2014, the balance of the reserve is approximately $4.3 million. However, due to cost increase due to recommended service improvements in this year's budget, the use of 2 TS-2016-13 March 22, 2016 reserves was budgeted to increase. The proposed consolidation of the service reduces the reliance on reserves by approximately $220,000. Two Options are being proposed for this pilot initiative: Option A Have the Green Line turn into the Downtown and re-align the WEGO Purple Line. combining it with Niagara Falls Transit Route 104, building on the success of the Red Line Route integration with municipal services. Option B Have the green line turn into the downtown and eliminate the Purple Line altogether during the Pilot initiative. Both options will result in a reduction to Bus Operator service hours, however, based on the improvements to the Niagara Falls Transit Service as approved by Council on February 23, 2016, the Bus Operators will realize a net increase in service hours (approx. 2400 hrs.) over 2015, resulting in increased work for the Bus Operators. Discussions will continue to take place with the Bus Operators and other Stakeholders during the pilot initiative to determine if a permanent solution for the Purple Line can be achieved without adding to the operational cost. Prior to the completion of the pilot initiative an update report will be provided to Council to determine how the pilot intiative will proceed in the future. BACKGROUND Council at it's meeting of February 23, 2016, referred the matter of the WEGO Purple/Green Pilot Initiative as outlined in report # TS 2016-12, to a future Council meeting. The WEGO Service is a Visitor Transportation Service that is being offered to visitors through a partnership between the Niagara Parks Commission and the City. It is regularly reviewed with Tourism Stakeholders on a quarterly basis, known as the WEGO Planning Advisory Committee. Route adjustments are determined through this consultation process. The WEGO service differers from conventional service in that it's purpose is not get to visitors to attractions quickly, but instead allow visitors to experience all that Niagara Falls has to offer, this is a criteria that was agreed upon by the tourist sector. There are exceptions to this, in the case of the Red Line, which is an integration of tourists and residents. 3 TS-2016-13 March 22, 2016 Prior to starting the WEGO Visitor Transportation System in August 2012, in consultation with the Downtown, the Purple Line was added as a last minute addition. It's purpose was to provide WEGO service to the Downtown because the Green Line did not turn into the Downtown. After three and a half years of operating experience, numerous tweaks and adjustments, it has been determined that the WEGO purple line is is a duplicate, service that can be more effectively operated by the consolidation proposed. The Downtown can be better served by the Green Line, because it carries almost 15 times the riders that the Purple Line does and operates year round. In addition, the Green Line offers 12 minute headways during the peak operating times and carries 90% of its ridership when Summer GO Train is operating. This would improve opportunities to capture tourist visits to the Downtown as well as improving connectivity between Tablerock and Niagara on the Lake. Based on the fact that Purple Line is really a duplicate service to the Green Line, it is really a waste of money to continue the service and that visitors would be better served by rerouting the Green Line as outlined in the two options below. Option A In this option, This pilot initiative proposal involves a realignment of the WEGO Purple and Green Lines. Through this realignment, the Green Line, which is operated by the Niagara Parks Commission would service the Train Station / Bus Terminal by travelling on Bridge Street, Erie Avenue, and Queen Street when travelling to and from the Tablerock complex where the central WEGO Hub is located. The WEGO Purple Line, which is operated by the City, would continue to serve the Bus Terminal, as well as the Queen Street bus stops, but would then travel along Victoria Avenue, Ferry Street en route to the Main and Ferry Transit Hub. This route would be called the Purple Line / Route 104 and utilize the larger sixty foot articulated buses for their greater capacity. This Purple Line / Route 104 would be similar to the Red Line as it would provide service to visitors, as well as residents in an integrated manner. This will allow for the much needed higher capacity WEGO articulated buses and the use of signal prioritization technology available on these vehicles, on Route 104. Option B In this Option, the Purple Line would be eliminated. Through this realignment, the Green Line, which is operated by the Niagara Parks Commission would service the Train Station / Bus Terminal by travelling on Bridge Street, Erie Avenue, and Queen Street when travelling to and from the Tablerock complex where the central WEGO Hub is located. 4 TS-2016-13 March 22, 2016 Discussions with Bus Operators and the Union Executive The recent Bus Operator workshop sessions offered the opportunity to discuss many of the day to day challenges that they face throughout the entire system. Many suggestions were offered on alternate ways to improve the conventional and visitor transportation system. The general consensus is the Union is not supportive of the changes due to the reduction in Bus Operator hours inherent in both options. Many understood the reasoning for the reduction after it was explained, that rerouting the Purple Line into it's own unique route would not achieve the cost savings that are being proposed. Several of the Bus Operators did not favour combining the Purple Line with the 104, as they anticipated not being able to adhere to shedules during peak operating hours and had concerns with mixing residents with visitors. Some Bus Operators indicated it would create more problems than benefits. As Council is aware, staff will conduct open houses and stakeholder meetings, for the conventional system, review all suggestions submitted and follow up with a report in July. Impact on the Downtown Business District The impact on exposure of Tourist in the Downtown. Ridership exposure of the WEGO Green Line compared to the WEGO Purple. In 2015, the total ridership for the WEGO system exceeded 1.7 million, of that 985,000 rides occurred on the Green Line while just under 64,000 occurred on the Purple line. By redirecting the Green Line up Queen St., right on to Erie Avenue then right onto Bridge Street and in the opposite direction on the return trip, close to one million riders would be exposed to a portion of our Downtown District. WEGO Ridership By Route- 2015 Total Ridership = 1,703,980 Red 266143 15% Green Blue 985720 388444 .E 58% 23% Purple 63673 4% 5 TS-2016-13 March 22, 2016 Of the 985,000 boardings, 960,000 travel in the corridor north of Tablerock to and from the Downtown direction. The Downtown Board Executive are receptive to the change and support Option A, as it will offer more options to customers arriving/departing from the Train Station / Bus Terminal, as well as provide greater exposure to the Downtown by routing the heavy traffic Green Line buses through this Transportation Hub. Both the Purple Line / Route 104 service, as well as the Green Line will operate year round. During the busier summer season, when GO Train Service is operational, the additional service provided by the Green Line will result in an additional 6,500 trips servicing the Train Station/Bus Terminal. Thus, customers will not have to wait any longer than approximately ten minutes to board a bus travelling to the hospitality sector or northbound toward the Butterfly Conservatory, the new aerial attraction at Thompson Point, and Niagara On The Lake. Federal/Provincial Funding Agreement "Serve the local population by fully integrating with Niagara Falls Transit System" ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The realignment of Purple Line / Green Line will result in an additional 9,500 Green Line buses passing through this busy transportation Hub and thus, a net increase of approximately 6,500 trips per year servicing this area. This additional service level will reduce the wait time for Customers to about ten minutes during the peak summer season. The Green Line operates year round and will provide service northbound and southbound along River Rd. to the current and emerging attractions. By travelling northbound on the Green Line, customers can travel to Niagara-on-the-Lake as well. The realignment of the WEGO Purple Line / Route 104 allows for the use of 60' articulated buses along Victoria Ave. for greater capacity and access to many benefits for customers and staff due to the ITS technology. Service on the Purple Line / Route 104 will continue through to midnight and thus, beyond the last GO Transit train departure, which is 10:30 p.m. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS WEGO Funding Initially, when the WEGO system was established, the City budgeted for WEGO in a similar fashion as that of Falls Shuttle, specifically the cost of the operation was subsidized to $400,000 by taxpayers. The WEGO operation was establish based on a model that included Niagara Parks Commission funding and City funding of approximately $1,500,000 (with a 2% adjustment yearly). 6 TS-2016-13 March 22, 2016 In the 2016 budget there is an additional contribution of $585,000 from the FMC reserve fund to offset costs of the expanded WEGO service. The removal or relocation of the Purple Line will have no impact on revenues, however, it will have a significant impact on reducing expenses taken from reserves. Both Option A and Option B allows the City to reduce it's dependence on capital reserve funds to support operational costs. Staff have identified operational changes that would help to move towards eliminating dependence on WEGO Captial Reserve funds. The re- alignment of the WEGO Purple Line with Route 104 will result in a reducing it's dependency on WEGO Capital reserves of approximately $220,000. In consultation with the BIA's, Staff will continue to review opportunities to reduce dependence of the Capital Reserve Fund through routing adjustments and integration with conventional service over the next two years. The WEGO Capital Reserve Fund has been established to deal with both short term and long term Capital needs, (such as bus replacement), short term routing adjustments, due to Special Events and future Visitor Transportation studies. It is not intended to permanently fund operational needs. Continued use of WEGO capital reserve fund for operations will result in depletion of the fund.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2016-11 AM-2016-001, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6177 McLeod Road Applicant: Elaine Asare Agent: Gerry Steenburg Proposal: Four Unit Dwelling RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone the land a site specific Residential Apartment 5B Density (R5B) zone to recognize the existing 4-unit dwelling on the property. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Elaine Asare has submitted an application to amend Zoning By-law No. 79-200 for 6177 McLeod Road. The property is zoned to permit a triplex, however a 4th unit has been added to the basement of the existing building. To legalize the 4th unit, the applicant is requesting an amendment to rezone the property to a site specific Residential Apartment 5B Density (R5B) zone. The amendment can be recommended for the following reasons: - The height and density of the proposal complies with the Official Plan. McLeod Road is an intensification corridor where mid-rise residential buildings are planned; - The existing building is compatible with surrounding development and the recognition of the 4th unit in the building will not impact surrounding properties; and - The alterations required to the site to accommodate an additional parking space are relatively minor. BACKGROUND Proposal Elaine Asare has requested a Zoning By-law amendment for a 520 square metre (0.12 ac.) parcel of land known as 6177 McLeod Road. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the site. The zoning amendment is requested to recognize a 4th dwelling unit within the existing building. Schedule 2 shows how the property is proposed to be altered to provide additional parking. 2 PBD-2016-11 March 22, 2016 The land is zoned Residential Mixed with site specific regulations (R3-669) by By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2004-132, which permits a triplex (3 unit dwelling). The land is requested to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Apartment 5B Density (R5B) zone to recognize the existing 4-unit dwelling. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The property is occupied by a 3 storey building, originally constructed as a triplex. A 4th unit has been built in the basement of the building. Parking is provided in the front yard. Outdoor amenity space is located primarily in the rear yard. The property abuts a townhouse development to the north, west and east. A shopping plaza is located to the south. Circulation Comments Information regarding the requested Zoning By-law 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 Provincial or Regional perspective. . • Building Services No objections to the rezoning. A Building Permit is required for the 4th unit. • Municipal Works, Legal Services, Transportation Services, Transit No objections to the rezoning. • Neighbours The owner of the abutting townhouse development (Niagara Regional Housing) submitted a letter that is included on tonight's agenda. There are no objections to the rezoning, however Niagara Regional Housing noted that parking on their land is for their tenant's use only. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on February 22, 2016. No neighbours attended the open house to hear about the proposal or to provide comments. 3 PBD-2016-11 March 22, 2016 ANALYSIS 1. Official Plan The subject property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan and is within the McLeod Road Intensification Corridor. Development within the intensification corridor is intended to take the form of mid-rise buildings with densities of between 65 and 150 units per hectare. Appropriate setbacks should be utilized to ensure compatibility with surrounding uses. The proposal conforms to the Official Plan as follows: - The height (3 storeys) and density of the development (77 units per hectare) are within the permitted ranges along the corridor. - The building will continue to be compatible with surrounding development as there are no changes to the built form with the 4th unit being accommodated within the existing building. 2. Zoning By-law The applicant has requested the property be rezoned from a site specific Residential Mixed zone (R3-669) to a site specific Residential Apartment 5B Density (R5B) zone to reflect the increased density of development with the 4th unit. The following site specific departures from the R5B zone are acceptable as they reflect the lot frontage and the location of the existing building on the property: ZONE REGULATION EXISTING REGULATION PROPOSED REGULATION Minimum lot area 133 sq. m/unit 130 sq. m/unit Minimum lot frontage 30 m 17 m Minimum rear yard 10 m 7.5 m Minimum interior side yard One-half building height 1.8 m (west side) (4.94 m) 3.0 m (east side) Maximum projection of a 1.8 m 1.9 m balcony into required rear yard To satisfy the parking requirements a 5th parking spot is required and is proposed to be accommodated by extending the parking area to the east, as shown in Schedule 2. There are no concerns with this extra parking spot from a zoning perspective, however to ensure proper paving, curbing and drainage a red-line revision to the approved site plan will be required. Planning staff recommend a minor revision to the proposed parking layout be done to leave the current parking space next to the canopy in its current configuration to maintain the landscaped area immediately to the east of this space. 4 PBD-2016-11 March 22, 2016 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS As a result of the amendment and the required Building Permit the property will be properly assessed and the City will collect the appropriate taxes for this property. CITY'S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal does not impact on any of the Strategic Priorities.

The Activity Subsidy Fund allows the Recreation Committee to provide support for children in financial need to participate in a variety of recreation activities. The Committee is extremely proud of this program and would like to ensure that it continues for many years to come. The fundraising event will be a "trunk sale" where residents are invited to register as vendors to sell their "garage sale items" out of the back of their vehicle. Participants must register and pay a $20.00 fee in advance to reserve a parking spot. Vendors will be responsible for pricing and selling their own items and will keep any profit. This community event will be held on Saturday, June 25th in the Gale Centre Parking Lot. A barbeque will be provided by the Recreation Committee and there will be something for everyone. The Gale Centre will be closed for maintenance at this time which will guarantee that the parking lot is empty and will help ensure a safe and smooth event. Breakaways, the concession provider at the Gale Centre, have been contacted to ensure that there would not be any conflicts regarding the provision of a barbeque. On behalf of the Recreation Committee, I respectfully request the support of Council for the Recreation Committee to host this fundraising event, to consent to a fee of$20.00 per vendor space, and to waive the applicable Specific Location Daily Sales Licence and fee that would be required.

Box 1023, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 6X5 Dear Mayor Diodati: As you may know, I have introduced a bill in the Senate of Canada, Bill S-203 Ending the Captivity of Whales and Dolphins Act, which seeks to phase out the practice of keeping cetaceans in captivity. My purpose today in writing you is to explain my reasons for taking on this issue as it affects your community directly. Please find enclosed a copy of the bill and my speech at second reading. First of all, this bill's purpose is not to redirect tourists from one region to another. I see this as a moral issue, and the legal changes in S-203 are backed by science. The facts I have encountered while looking at this issue have, for me, overwhelmed the arguments which seek to maintain the status quo. Whales and dolphins are extremely intelligent, emotional and social creatures. Their natural habitat is a vast expanse which provides a stimulating environment. They roam over great distances, indeed the captive range of an orca amounts to 1/10,000th of its natural home range. In captivity cetaceans experience dorsal fin collapse, broken teeth, damaged skin, significantly reduced life spans, high infant mortality rates and abnormal behavior, such as stress induced aggression. The transfer of cetaceans from facility to facility is obviously not a natural journey for these creatures. To be transported by airplane over great distances while suspended in slings to me is just another example of how we have allowed such practices to go too far. And when entertainment is factored in as one of the main purposes of displaying these creatures, I do not see how we can justify this situation. Legally, Bill S-203 would prohibit the captive breeding, imports, exports and live captures of cetaceans in Canada. In particular, this ban on breeding programs is essential to phasing out the captivity of cetaceans in Canada. These programs have been described by Dr. Jane Goodall as indefensible by science. Page 12 There is no desire to see jobs lost due to the effects of this legislation if passed. There is ample evidence that the world is moving beyond such entertainment parks, and Canadians are asking for change as they encounter the facts. I agreed with your words when you stated that society's perspectives have changed and that Marineland needs a graduated opportunity to re-invent itself. Bill S-203 would afford that graduated opportunity, as Marineland can keep the cetaceans it currently possesses providing the necessary time to put into effect a new business model which does not rely on exhibiting cetaceans. I note that Toronto has a Ripley's Aquarium which contains no whales or dolphins. Marineland currently offers many more attractions besides cetaceans as well. I thank you for your interest in this matter. If you have any questions, Your Worship, please do not hesitate to give me a call. Yoursuly, '-... 1 f:= / r ii U HorLourabl Wilfred P. Moore •.C., LL.
