The Provincial Championships were held at the international Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. Frank Ungaro has been coaching twelve year old Josh Horton for the past year, training him two to three times per week. Coach Ungaro states “Josh is nothing short of a prodigy. I’ve never had a kid who was more coachable amid the chaos of a jiu jitsu completive match”. He won all of his matches and won a gold medal in the most spectacular fashion of any match I’ve ever been involved with”. Horton was getting beaten in the gold medal match and his opponent had thrown him around, pinning him down the entire match. He was down 11-2 points, and in need of a submission to win. With only nine seconds remaining on the clock, Horton escaped the pin down, somehow managed to get on top and his opponent submitted with one second remaining on the clock. Brazilian jiu jitsu is a martial art and combat sport system that is derived from Japanese jiu jitsu and promotes the concept that smaller, weaker people can successfully defend themselves against bigger, stronger, and heavier assailants by using proper techniques, instead of strength. This makes it an optimal martial art for woman and children who face the prospect of larger attackers. Ungaro coaches the Bully Buster Brazilian Jiu Jitsu kids program at his Niagara Fall academy, Brasa Niagara Brazilian jiu jitsu. The program focuses on teaching youth verbal and physical defense skills. Coaches ensure students understand the importance of using physical techniques only if absolutely necessary. Ungaro states that Josh Horton “trains very hard and is always asking questions and trying to learn more; honestly, he is a sponge and completely driven to be successful with jiu jitsu. It’s so validating to see as an instructor”. Horton is committed to continue training and competing. His next competition is in July. Congratulations to Josh Horton on his outstanding accomplishment! cc.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Allister Young Arts & Culture Endowment Fund is awarded annually to one Niagara Falls resident in any creative arts field. The Arts, Culture & Museum Committee received several, very worthy applications for the award and could not determine one winner of the fund after several votes, it was determined that it was a tie for the fund in 2018. After careful review and consideration, Aaron Berger and Jana Jaros are recommended as the 2018 recipients. Mr. Berger has been involved with a number of local initiatives as a performer, singer and arts organizer. Ms. Jaros is an active vi sual artist, who has assisted with many workshops in the community. BACKGROUND In 1997, Mr. Allister Young donated a 1932 Ford Roadster to the Arts & Culture Commission (now the Arts, Culture & Museum Committee). The Commission raffled the car off and the money raised was used to establish the Young Family Endowment Fund. Several changes have been made to the endowment fund since it began in 1998 including changing the name from the Young Family Endowment Fund to the Allister Young Arts & Culture Endowment Fund. The criterion for applications is as follows: 1. All individual applicants must be residents of the City of Niagara Falls; 2. Applicants may submit only one application to each deadline; 3. Members and relatives of the Arts, Culture & Museum Committee are not eligible to apply; Page 40 of 827 2 R&C-2018-10 June 19, 2018 4. Recipients must be active artists in any creative arts field in the City of Niagara Falls; 5.

Applicants must provide a written artist statement and statement of intention; 3. Applicants must submit a letter substantiating their volunteer hours with an arts organization; 4. Applicants must agree to be available for promotion of the Allister Young Arts & Culture Endowment Fund award.

I have going over the minutes of the Regional Niagara Steering committee & noticed they have been mulling over the "Mixed Income Neighbourhood" policy for quite a while. I would like to bring it to the council's attention & ask the make the following motions. 1) To accept the Mixed Income Neighbourhood policy in principle 2) To make a motion to forward the policy to our planning staff, the Regional Smarter Niagara Steering Committee & the Housing Committee to be given its' full attention asap. The Regional Housing has not built any new units for decades but is in the process of building an 85 unit apartment building. That will still leave approx. 10,000 people waiting for affordable housing. After all the concern of our homeless during our past winter, The Mixed Income Neighbourhood policy will help the region & this city to show that the needs of the citizens are what is most important. Bill, I am leaving Friday morning (today) for a week's vacation in Utah. I don't know if you need more than this to make your decision. Page 48 of 827 3 Please let me know exactly what you are looking for & I will be happy to provide it for you. Depending on what you need I may not be able to get it too you until I return on May 5.

Page 58 of 827 NEW REGIONAL OFFICIAL PLAN HIGH LEVEL PROCESS & FRAMEWORK Page 59 of 827 Why A New Official Plan •Originally the role of Regionally Planning and content of Regional Official Plan (1970s) primarily focused on protecting agricultural lands and establishing urban (settlement area) boundaries. •Over the years, amendments have been made to this outdated platform (Plan) to reflect the Region’s increased planning functions under an evolving provincial planning system. •Now an opportunity to ensure that it remains current with changes to Provincial plans and policies, and reflects and supports the strategic goals and priorities of the community and Regional Council in a comprehensive manner. Page 60 of 827 Initiation •Late 2016, the Region allocated staff resources and budget to complete the Regional Official Plan over the next 5 years. •A Special Meeting of Council will be held on July 5th, 2018 to hear how the public visions Niagara growing and developing till 2041. •In the meantime, the Region, with the input of Area Planners, has been framing required priority background studies (required work) to inform the new Official Plan. Page 61 of 827 Preliminary Objectives •Promote and achieve great development outcomes that contribute to complete community solutions and a quality urban experience. •Facilitate opportunities for economic growth. •Protect Regional Natural and Agricultural Resources and adequately respond to the challenges of Climate Change •Provide clear policy direction where necessary and discretion where appropriate. •Address Provincial requirements, Regional mandate matters and provide guidance to LAMs. •The New Official Plan will be processed under Section 26 of the Planning Act Page 62 of 827 Municipal Comprehensive Review Process Page 63 of 827 General Background Studies Process Housing &Rural & Natural Systems Planning Background Policy Input Input Input Page 64 of 827 Priority Background Studies Growth Management Program Natural Systems and Resources Program Aggregate Resources Climate Change Natural Environment Agriculture Land Budget Employment Lands Strategy Urban Structure Housing Strategy Page 65 of 827 Growth Management Program Goal- Completion Q2-2019 Land Budget Employment Lands Strategy Urban Structure Housing Strategy Page 66 of 827 Land Needs Assessment •The amount of developable urban land needed for residential and employment purposes to 2041 •Identify any excess lands. (not developable by 2041) Excess lands will need to be designated for development post 2041 •Alternative greenfield density targets to the required 80 people and jobs per hectare can be requested to the Province •Opportunity to rationalize urban area boundaries and ensure that sufficient lands are in the proper location to accommodate growth. •Urban area boundary expansions can take place, even if there are excess lands, provided there is a de-designation of lands. Page 67 of 827 Employment Lands Strategy •Ensure sufficient and marketable supply for traditional industrial employment •Identify Regional Employment Areas - areas of business and economic activity for long term employment development which are to be protected from conversion •The Region is currently working with the local municipalities, specifically area planners at this stage. •This project will be informed by the Region’s annual Employment Inventory. Page 68 of 827 Urban Structure •The urban structure is a significant component for the Region to achieve an eventual 60% intensification rate under the Growth Plan while protecting established neighbourhoods. •Identify a hierarchy of settlement areas •Identify important strategic regional intensification areas to direct growth to areas best served by a combination of transportation/transit, public works and community infrastructure and services •Assign population and density accordingly Page 69 of 827 Draft Urban Structure Major Components For Intensification Areas Downtown St. Catharines Urban Growth Centre (UGC) •The Downtown St. Catharines Urban Growth Centre is the Region’s main mixed use node with the highest densities and broadest range of uses. The Downtown St. Catharines UGC, whose boundaries are defined, has a minimum density target of 150 residents and jobs combined per hectare by 2031 or earlier. Downtown Niagara Falls and Downtown Welland Emerging Urban Centres •Downtown Niagara Falls (incorporating the Niagara Falls GO Major Transit Station Area) and Downtown Welland Emerging Urban Centres are regional focal points that have potential for accommodating population and employment growth. These two emerging urban centres, in the horizon of the Regional Plan (2041), will grow to become as close as possible to become vibrant and dense, transit supportive urban cores. Major GO Transit Station Areas •With the pending arrival of GO Rail service, the Region in co-operation with the municipalities of Grimsby, Lincoln, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls through secondary plans, are creating vibrant and dense mixed use nodes around the major transit station areas. The proposed urban structure would recognize this work. Other Regional Growth Areas •Other Regional Growth Areas span multiple jurisdictions that have the potential to become iconic in nature and have the potential to attract new investment, people, jobs and development. The District Plan process is a key process for identifying these significant Regional areas. Regional Corridors •Regional corridors are the multi-modal linkages that connect Strategic Growth Areas and urban areas across Niagara. The design of Regional Corridors will complement and benefit the landscape they travel through. It is envisioned that lands along Regional Corridors will be intensified with denser forms of higher residential development. The delineation of Regional corridors is still being discussed with local planners. Local Centres & Local Corridors •Local centres and corridors are strategic areas of growth and investment for the local municipality such as the downtown cores or key mixed use areas.

Page 79 of 827 Report on a Complaint Alleging a Violation of the Code of Conduct for Members of Council for City of Niagara Falls June 12, 2018 Janet Leiper,C.S. Page 80 of 827 I.Introduction [1]This is a report on the outcome of an investigation into a complaint made by a Complainant that Councillor Wayne Campbell violated the City of Niagara Falls Code of Conduct for Members of Council . [2]The City of Niagara Falls retained an interim Integrity Commissioner in early May of 2018 to provide services concerning advice to Councillors, complaint resolution and the investigation of complaints under the Code of Conduct. In that capacity, I received a formal complaint. [3]The complaint concerned an incident that took place in November of 2017. The Complainant had originally raised the issue on December 12, 2017 and after two prior attempts to file the complaint, filed the formal complaint on May 4, 2018. [4]For the reasons that follow, I conclude that Councillor Campbell breached the Code of Conduct during text and telephone call exchanges with the Complainant in which the Councillor became angry and berated the Complainant. Councillor Campbell was cooperative with the complaint process;acknowledged that he should not have spoken as he did to the Complainant;is undertaking remedial efforts,and plans to make a public apology at the time this report comes before Council. Once the Councillor has delivered an appropriate apology, I recommend that no further sanction be imposed by Council. [5]A copy of this report has been provided to the Complainant and to the Councillor. The details of the complaint have been anonymized to respect the privacy of the Complainant. II.The Complaint [6]This complaint arose after some initial on-line communication between the Councillor and the Complainant about advocacy in the community for a particular issue. The Complainant had originally been referred to the Councillor by another member of Council. Councillor Campbell and the Complainant did not meet in person, but communicated during October and November of 2017 via on-line messaging, text and later, by telephone.The Complainant said that he believed the Councillor could be a mentor to him and help him advocate for the cause he wished to support. [7]The Complainant alleged that after some initially supportive communication, the Councillor left a voicemail message about another unrelated issue late in the evening of November 7, 2017. After a brief text inquiry by the Complainant, a telephone conversation ensued in which the Councillor became aggressive and confrontational. The tone of the conversation and the insults used, led the Complainant to hang up the telephone. Councillor Campbe Complainant] , Page 81 of 827 [8]An exchange of texts followed in which the Councillor expressed himself in an angry manner which included inappropriate language and troubling content. The Complainant responded with a lengthy text, which was upsetting to the Complainant. The Complainant ultimately requested that the Councillor not contact him anymore. Copies of these texts and the telephone recording were provided with the complaint. [9]The Complainant alleged that the exchange was a breach of the anti-harassment and bullying provisions found in section 13.1 of the Code and requested an investigation into the matter.During the investigation, the Councillor sent a further unsolicited text to the Complainant which was unwelcome by the Complainant. The Councillor (behaviour)on his part. III.The Code of Conduct [10]The City of Niagara Falls Code of Conduct for Members of Council was adopted on July 11, 2017. It is enforced by the operation of Section 233.3 of the Municipal Act, and by the provisions found within the Code of Conduct itself, following an investigation and report to Council by the Integrity Commissioner. [11]Section 13.1 of the Code of Conduct provides: No member shall harass any other member, any staff, or any member of the public. Harassment is defined in section 2.1 of the Code of Conduct as: Engaging in a course of behaviour, comment or conduct, whether it occurs inside or outside the work environment, that is or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome. It includes but is not limited to any behaviour, conduct or comment by a Member that is directed at or is offensive to another person: i)On the grounds of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, age, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status or family status, as well as any other grounds under the provisions of the Human Rights Code; or, ii)Which is reasonably perceived by the recipient as an intention to bully, embarrass, intimidate or ridicule the recipient. [12]The key statements of principle in the Code of Conduct include recognition that: the conduct of each Member is of the highest standard (Reference: 1.3(d)) Page 82 of 827 the conduct of each Member demonstrates fairness, respect for differences and a duty to work with other Members together for the common good (Reference: 1.3(e)) [13]Finally, Section 3 of the Code of Conduct recognizes that Members of Council but extend into the community where Members do much of their work.Members are expected to be respectful and courteous in their interactions with citizens, fellow members and staff. IV. Analysis [14]The tone and the content of the texts and telephone calls by the Councillor fell below the standard required by the Code of Conduct. The words and tone demonsrated a lack of respect on the part of the Councillor towards the Complainant. It was reasonable for the Complainant to perceive these communications as ridiculing and/or demeaning him.The words and conduct of the Councillor amounted to bullying. The communications were intensely upsetting to the Complainant and his reaction was conveyed to the Councillor.The Councillor breached section 3.1 of the Code of Conduct. [15]Councillor Campbell has accepted these findings. He was cooperative with the investigation and provided a timely response to the complaint. Further, he has taken steps to examine the reason for his becoming upset and angry with the Complainant. He is working with a counsellor to address these matters.He said that he was appalled in having become angry with the Complainant. Finally, he acknowledged that sending a text to the Complainant after the complaint was laid, was inappropriate. I conclude that in taking these steps, Councillor Campbell demonstrated remorse for his conduct. [16]Although the Councillor initially took the position that his conduct occurred in his private capacity, he accepted the finding that as an elected member of Council, the Code of Conduct applies to him at all times. Further, the introduction to the Complainant by a fellow Councillor; the issues involved and the relationship that developed were objectively consistent with a conclusion that the Councillor was conducting himself both in his personal capacity, as well as in his public capacity as a Member of Council. [17]The Councillor plans to make a full and unconditional apology to the Complainant at the time this complaint comes to Council. Given his recognition of the conduct, the finding of remorse, the steps he is taking to prevent recurrence and his willingness to make amends by apologizing, I recommend to Council that no further sanction is necessary either to accomplish general or specific deterrence. Page 83 of 827 VI.Conclusion [18]I recommend that on the apology being delivered by Councillor Wayne Campbell;that Council adopt a finding that he breached the Code of Conduct,accept the remedial measures, including the apology and take no further action by way of sanction. DATED this 12th day of June, 2018 ___________________________ Janet Leiper, C.S. Page 84 of 827 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-32 AM-2017-011, Official Plan & Zoning By-law Amendment Application 5471, 5491 and 5507 River Road, 4399, 4407, 4413 and 4427 John Street and Part of River Lane Proposal: Apartment Building Consisting of Two Towers Applicant: 5507 River Development Inc. (Mike Wang) Agents: Italia Gilberti, Broderick and Partners Ryan Guetter, Weston Consulting RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That Council defer the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application to enable the applicant time to modify the project in keeping with the following principles : a. The towers being stepped back in accordance with a 45 degree angular plane measured from the east side of River Road, as detailed in this report; b. A minimum 6 metre exterior side yard building setback being provided from River Road; c. A 3 metre wide landscaped open space strip being provided between John Street and any parking area; and d. Maintenance of the separation distance between the two towers and the setbacks and stepped back form from John and Phillip Streets and the residential properties to the west as shown in the schedules to this report. 2. The public meeting be continued once revised drawings implementing the above noted recommendations have been received and reviewed by Staff. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 5507 River Development Inc. has requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments to permit the development of a 390 unit apartment building with 21 and 12 storey towers on the lands known as 5471, 5491 and 5507 River Road, 4399, 4407, 4413 and 4427 John Street and the closed part of River Lane. The project cannot be recommended in its current form. To ensure an appropriate transition is provided to the residential neighbourhood to the west and north and the buildings are designed to respect the streetscape to ensure a human scale development that does not overwhelm the pedestrian realm along River Road several modifications are recommended to the proposed building and site design. Provided revised drawings incorporate these modifications, it can be concluded: Page 85 of 827 2 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 - The addition of height and density within the urban area of the City is consistent with Provincial and Regional policies; - The use of an angled plane from all sides would provide a transition of height and density to the neighbourhood to the west and north and the pedestrian promenade to the east; - Provided the development is redesigned as recommended, the development is in general conformity with the intent of the Official Plan, will be compatible with adjacent residential areas and will provide a human scale to the development; - Existing transportation networks and servicing infrastructure can support the development; and - A Section 37 agreement should be used to secure capital contributions and streetscape improvements. BACKGROUND Proposal 5507 River Development Inc. has requested an Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment for the lands known as 5471, 5491 and 5507 River Road, 4399, 4407, 4413 and 4427 John Street and part of River Lane, totalling 0.79 hectares (2 acres) in area. Refer to Schedule 1 to locate the lands. The applicant is proposing to construct a 390 unit apartment project with 21 storey and 12 storey towers and with underground and structured parking. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposed development. Schedule 3 is a north-south cross-section of the development. Schedule 4 depicts architectural renderings of the project. The lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The portion of the lands between River Road and River Lane is subject to a Special Policy Area designation which permits a 119 unit apartment building up to 7 storeys in height. This Special Policy Area and associated zoning was adopted by Council in 2008 and approved by the Ontario Municipal Board in 2009 to permit the aforementioned apartment building. Prior to this amendment, Council approved an Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendment application for a 27 storey apartment building, however, this application was later abandoned. The applicant is a new owner and has acquired additional lands including part of River Lane. He is now requesting the whole of the lands be placed under a new Special Policy Area designation to permit the 21 and 12 storey tower development. The portion of the lands between River Road and part of River Lane is zoned Residential Apartment 5E Density (R5E-840), while a small portion of the land west of River Lane is zoned Parking (P-841), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended. The balance of the lands is zoned Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2-2) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200 as amended. The lands are requested to be rezoned a new Residential Apartment 5F Density zone, with site specific building setbacks, density, building height, landscaped open space, lot coverage and parking regulations, to permit the height and massing of the project. Page 86 of 827 3 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands consist of a number of properties that currently contain detached dwelling(s) or are vacant. River Lane is under the applicant’s ownership. There are also a number of mature trees on the properties. The site is sloped, rising about 10 metres in elevation from the corner of River Road and John Street to the western boundary. The properties to the west and north of the lands are used for a mix of low rise detached dwellings, converted dwellings, apartment buildings and bed and breakfasts. A hotel (Michael’s Inn) and associated parking is located to the south. The Michael’s Inn lands, along with the Niagara Falls Aviary lands, are zoned to permit 60 and 61 storey hotel towers. A pedestrian promenade and the Niagara Gorge are located to the east. Circulation Comments Information about the requested Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments 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 The proposal satisfies the policy directions of the Region’s Official Plan, will make more efficient use of urban services, land and infrastructure, and will provide an alternative form of housing in an area which is composed predominantly of low density forms of housing. A final Stage 1-2 Archeological Assessment and any further necessary archaeological assessments are to be filed, along with an acknowledgement letter from the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. In addition a Record of Site Condition is to be filed with the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change. A Holding (H) Provision should be place on the property until the above noted documents are filed. Niagara Parks Commission (NPC) No objections to the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment. It is recommended that a minimum landscaped setback be provided along River Road, preserving the existing sugar maple and providing enhanced landscaping, and that there are no driveway connections to River Road. Through site plan control building finishes in keeping with the character of River Road north of the lands should be implemented. Additional bat monitoring within the gorge should be conducted prior to construction to ensure bat habitat is not impacted by winter construction. Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) No objections to the applications. Page 87 of 827 4 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 At the site plan stage a number of measures are to be implemented, including reduction of large glass surfaces to minimize impacts to the bird population, submission or erosion and sediment control plans to demonstrate no off -site migration of sediment, and no clearing of vegetation during bird nesting season (April 1 to July 31). Transportation Services No objections to the applications. Revised transportation studies demonstrate existing road infrastructure can support the development and surrounding proposed development. In addition, Transportation Services have no objections to the parking rate reduction. Municipal Works No objections. Further review of servicing details will be conducted at the site plan stage. Parks Design No objections to the amendments. There should be no tree removal until such time as the site plan process is complete. 5% cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication will be payable. Building Services, Fire Services No objections. A review of fire safety and Ontario Building Code matters will be applicable at the site plan and Building Permit stages. Legal Services No objections. Public Submissions 7 letters have been submitted by members of the public and are included in tonight’s agenda. These submissions express concerns the project is too large for the neighbourhood, provides insufficient setbacks from nearby properties, and may adversely impact on the geology of the site and the surrounding streets and infrastructure. Some residents recommend the project be reduced in height to 10-12 storeys, and setbacks of 10 metres for all structures should be provided from adjacent residential properties. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on September 18, 2017 and was attended by 25 neighbouring residents. Neighbours raised concerns about the height of the building, impacts on the geology of the site and surrounding area, construction methods, traffic impacts on surrounding streets and the potential of units being used as vacation rentals. Page 88 of 827 5 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 The applicant noted that a geotechnical study had been completed and did not note issues with the construction of the building. Blasting would not be used in the excavation of bedrock and a pre-construction survey would be done for adjacent residences. The applicant summarized accesses into the project, noting that there would be no access from River Road or Phillip Street. The applicant also noted that the proposal would be developed as a condominium and that condominium rules would prohibit the units to be rented as vacation rentals. ANALYSIS 1. Provincial Policies The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. In accordance with the Growth Plan for Greater Golder Horseshoe (GPGGH), a minimum of 40% of all residential development occurring annually is currently to be in the Built- up Area. Cities are to identify strategies to achieve these densities, including identifying intensification areas. Provincial policies also require the protection of natural heritage areas, such as the Niagara Gorge, and appropriate transitions in built form between intensification areas and adjacent land uses. The development’s conformity to Provincial policies is as follows: The land has not been identified in the City’s Official Plan as an area where intensification is to be directed. However, as the land is situated adjacent to the Tourist Commercial area and is in close proximity to provincial highways, arterial roads and transit routes, the land is located in an area that warrants consideration of intensification. Furthermore a portion of the land is currently designated and rezoned for high density residential redevelopment; The City has not been meeting intensification targets, achieving only 31% of residential development in the Built-up Area. As this property is within the Built- up Area, its development for high density residential purposes may provide a further opportunity to meet these targets; The applicant has submitted an environmental impact statement, to the satisfaction of the NPCA and NPC, that demonstrates the natural area within Niagara Gorge will not be adversely impacted; and To ensure appropriate transition in built form to the surrounding residential neighbourhood is achieved several changes to the building and site are recommended. If these modifications are achieved, Staff are satisfied the development conforms to Provincial policies. 2. Regional Policies The lands are designated Urban Area under the Regional Official Plan. The Regional Official Plan promotes higher density development within urban areas and supports growth that contributes to the overall goal of providing a sufficient supply of housing that is affordable, accessible and suitable for the needs of a variety of households and income groups. The proposal will make more efficient use of land and existing Page 89 of 827 6 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 infrastructure and will introduce an alternative form of housing at the edge of a neighbourhood with predominantly low density housing. Therefore the proposal is considered in keeping with the general direction of Regional polices. 2. Official Plan The lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. A portion of the lands, between River Road and the former River Lane, are subject to a Special Policy Area designation which permits the development of a 7 storey apartment building at a maximum density of 238 units per hectare, equivalent to 119 units. The lands were designated Tourist Commercial prior to these policies being implemented in 2008. The balance of the lands are individual lots fronting onto local streets that can be developed with low density forms of housing, up to 40 units per hectare. The applicant has requested a new Special Policy Area designation be placed on the property to permit the proposed development, with two towers having heights of 21 and 12 storeys and a maximum density of 494 units per hectare. Given that the lands to the south of the subject lands are zoned for the development of 60 and 61 hotel towers and the subject site already enjoys a higher density than the surrounding lands, consideration of additional height and density may be warranted. Official Plan amendments are reviewed having regard to the intent and purpose of the policies in the Official Plan. The following assessment has been conducted: a. Conformity of the proposal relative to gradation of height, density and intensification objectives. The Residential policies of the Official Plan seek to achieve an appropriate gradation in building heights and densities with sufficient horizontal distances between taller buildings and low rise dwellings to ensure a complementary arrangement between residential uses of varying intensities. A common urban design practice to achieve a compatibility between high rise development and adjacent low rise residential development is to apply a 45 degree angular plane taken from the property line of the nearest low rise residential property and the top of the high rise building. This angular plane reduces the impact of the height and mass of the tall building on adjacent, sensitive low rise dwellings and minimizes shadowing impacts. The City’s Official Plan uses this principle in its Lundy’s Lane and McLeod Road intensification corridors. In addition, this principle has been included in the Regional Municipal of Niagara Model Urban Design Guidelines (NDUG). The Regional Guidelines also seeks to protect the human scale on streets and sidewalks by requiring a similar angular plane be established from eye level on the sidewalk on the opposite side of the street from the high rise building . Although the applicant’s Planning Consultant cites the NDUG standards and used them to establish a stepped back form from residential properties to the west and from Philip Street, the same angular plane was not used from the east side along River Road. Staff applied the 45 degree angled plane to the building Page 90 of 827 7 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 cross-sections provided by the applicant. These lines are depicted in red on the following illustrations: The intersection of the 45 degree angular plane from the property line of the nearest residential properties with the angular plane from the east side of River Page 91 of 827 8 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 Road provides the maximum height the two proposed towers should be allowed to achieve. Following this principle the south tower would reach a height somewhere in the 10 to 17 storey range while the north tower could achieve a height between 6 and 10 storeys. The stepping down in height along Phillip Street provides a better transition to the low rise built form that prevails on the River Road neighbourhood. The resulting stepped back form of the building should have the effect of reducing the perception of height for persons on the abutting properties and sidewalks. In addition shadowing impacts on the adjacent properties would be further minimized. The shadowing analysis submitted by the applicant shows no impacts on adjacent residential properties after 10:20 AM. The shadowing analysis indicates shadowing impacts the Niagara Gorge would occur from 2:20 PM to the end of the day. The reduction in height will have a corresponding lessening of the extent of shadowing into the gorge. The density of the proposed towers project is more than twice as much as the current density allowed on the east part of the site. However a lessening in the height and mass of the building as recommended above should result in fewer units and a corresponding lessening in density. Through the Official Plan, intensification has been directed to areas in or adjacent to Major or Minor Commercial designated nodes and corridors (Downtown, Morrison Dorchester, Five Corners, McLeod Road, Lundy’s Lane) These areas were targeted through the 2012 Growth Plan compliance exercise in order to encourage residential development to bolster commercial areas experiencing high vacancy rates. This does not preclude Council from considering other areas through site specific applications. The site abuts Tourist Commercial designated lands and is within easy walking distance to businesses in the Central Tourist Core, which could benefit from residential development during the off-peak season. In addition, the intensity of the proposed development on the Aviary/Michael’s Inn sites to the south warrant consideration of additional intensification of the site. Planning staff also recommend the following changes to the project: That the north tower be set back 6 metres from River Road, to respect the front yard setbacks of the dwellings to the north. The current design, with the north tower projecting in front of the south tower as well as dwellings to the north, does not provide an appropriate transition from tourist development to the south to the low rise residential development to the north. That a 3 metre landscaped open space strip be provided between John Street and any parking area. The current design provides no landscaping along John Street, which is out of character with the landscaped front yards of dwellings along John Street. Planning staff recommend that the application be deferred until the revised drawings, incorporating these modifications, are submitted to the City. This is to Page 92 of 827 9 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 ensure the modifications do not affect other elements meant to achieve compatibility with the surrounding neighbourhood including the setbacks and stepped back form from John Street and Phillip Street, and the separation distance proposed between the towers, are maintained. b. The availability of adequate municipal services and facilities for the proposed use and its impact on the transportation system, community facilities and natural environment. The applicant has submitted a Transportation Impact Study which demonstrates surrounding roads can accommodate the traffic generated by the development. The vast majority of the traffic is expected to use Highway 420, Bender Street/Victoria Street and River Road south of the site, not infiltrating into the surrounding residential neighbourhood. The applicant has also submitted a Functional Servicing Study which identifies servicing capacity for the development. Neither the Region nor the Niagara Parks Commission (NPC)) expressed concerns with these studies. The applicant has also submitted an Environmental Impact Study which satisfies the interests the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA) and the NPC. c. Section 37 Payments related to the proposed development The Official Plan contains policies whereby, in exchange for additional height and density, payments can be made toward municipal capital facilities. Council must first be satisfied that the proposed development is compatible with the scale and character of the surrounding neighbourhood, does not constitute an undue concentration of density, there is adequate infrastructure to support the proposed development, the transportation system can support the increased density and the size and configuration of the site can accommodate parking and landscaping. Any approval of additional height and density development beyond what the current Official Plan permits is recommended to be subject to a bonusing agreement under Section 37 of the Planning Act. The portion of the site between River Road and River lane was already subject to a Section 37 agreement that was executed when the current amending by- law was passed. This agreement secured a capital contribution based on the construction cost for the floor area of the 56 units that were determined to be beyond what the Official Plan permitted at the time. The applicant negotiated a contribution based 1% of the construction cost of these units, which amounted to a $41,688 capital contribution. The funds were paid to the City and put toward the Olympic Torch Legacy Trail. Under the current Official Plan policies, it is estimated that the lands would support 127 residential units (119 units in the Special Policy Area between River Road and River lane plus 2 units on each of the 4 residential lots that front onto John Street). Using the 2017 Altus Cost Guide construction costs to construct Page 93 of 827 10 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 263 units beyond current Official Plan densities is estimated to be $36,444,240. By applying the 1% value to the construction costs, minus the $41,688 capital contribution previously made, would equate to a capital facility payment of $322,754. This figure will likely need to be adjusted downward if Council accepts the lower height and density recommendations The following Capital facility projects have been identified: - A pedestrian bridge over Highway 420 to extend the Olympic Torch Legacy Trail to the tourist core; - Market Cultural Hub project; - Centennial Square redevelopment. 4. Zoning By-law The applicant is requesting a site specific Residential Apartment 5F Density (R5F) zone to permit the proposed development. The departures requested from the standard R5F regulations are summarized in the following table: ZONE REGULATION STANDARD R5F REGULATION REQUESTED REGULATION Minimum lot area 57 sq. m per unit 20 sq. m. per unit Minimum lot frontage 45 metres 39 metres (Phillip St) Minimum front yard depth 7.5 m 3.5 m (John St) 2.7 m (Phillip St) Minimum interior side yard width One quarter building height 2.8 m Minimum exterior side yard width 7.5 m 2.2 m Maximum lot coverage 30% 50% Minimum landscaped open space 55% of lot area 30% of lot area Maximum building height 28 m 73 m as measured from the intersection of River Rd and John St Parking requirements 1.4 spaces/unit 1.28 spaces/unit Balcony projections 1.8 m along John & Phillip Sts 0.45 m along River Rd 3 m Porch projections 2.5 m along John & Phillip Sts 0 m along River Rd 3 m Page 94 of 827 11 PBD-2018-32 June 19, 2018 The redesign of the proposal in accordance with the recommended principles may have an impact on requested changes. The stepped form from the west and north and the separation of the two towers by 25 metres should be incorporated into the redesign. Staff should report back on changes to the standard regulations once the proposal is redesigned at a lower height and density. 5. Holding (H) Provisions In accordance with Provincial policies, the Region has requested a holding (H) regulation be placed in the amending by-law until the applicant has completed the filing of archaeological assessments and a Record of Site Condition with the Province. Should these documents be filed to the satisfaction of the Region prior to passing of the amending by-law, the holding (H) regulation will no longer be necessary. 6. Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Appeal The applicant has the right to appeal the application after 180 days of submission of a complete application. As the application was submitted last July, the applicant appealed the failure of the City to adopt the requested amendments in order that the application would be heard under the rules of an OMB hearing. The decision of Council would be forwarded to the Board to be incorporated into a consolidated hearing with the original appeal. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS In addition to Section 37 contributions, the proposed development will provide development charges, cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication and new tax assessment for the City.

PLANNING ’\°/LNT .. 20 September 2017 Mr.Andrew Bryce Planning.Building.Development Cityof Niagara Falls,(Sntario Dear M1.Bryce._D// Amidst the many other serious concerns —height,density,traffic,and so on —raised about the (jg 'g proposal to build two condo towers on River Road (AM-2017-I 1),I have a speci?c recommendation about possible geophysical hazards.I recommend that the current proposal,or any proposal of similar magnitude,not be approved until engineers expert in rock engineering and slope stability assessment certify that the risk of environmental damage to the Niagara Gorge and to nearby homes,as well as the risk of future instability of the towers themselves,is no higher than for projects commonly approved in other jurisdictions. The developer may already have obtained such an assessment,but I don ’t believe so,since none of Time Development Group’s representatives at last Monday’s meeting cited it in response to my questions in this regard.What I recommend is something more than routine borehole data on substrata.The expertise that needs to be called upon can be found in the Rock Mechanics section of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto (http://civil.engineering.utoronto.ca/research/mIning—geomechanics/rocl<—mechanics/),in consulting companies like Rocscience in Toronto (https://Www.rocscience.com/company/about- us/our—teamj,and in similar professional organizations elsewhere. The need for such an assessment is supported by six plain facts: 1.No building of such height and weight has yet been built so close to the edge of the Niagara Gorge,least of all one resting on four levels for underground parking that will have to be carved out of the escarpment,possibly even by blasting.To see how unprecedented the proposed project is,one need only study satellite photos of the area along the Niagara River from the falls to Niagara -on—the—Lake. 2.The gorge has a history of instability,especially due to freezing and thawing of water that ,,L‘,_xr‘,,,,,,1_'_,Ln,rum,__n,,,,,_n.u,,1,,,,,SCCPSlI'1[O IISSUTCS lI'0l'[1 |.?C 1V1'c‘1g'clI"<11\1VCl'ZIDOVES LHC 1d.llS.1 K10 U0l1'cipSC U1 U16 Illlg? Schoellkopf Power Plant in 1956,directly across the gorge from the development site, was the worst disaster due to rock instability.The collapse of Prospect Point in 1954 is another example;this was next to the American falls,about one km south of the development site.There have been numerous other rockfalls,including those that forced abandomnent of the railway at the base of the gorge. Page 106 of 827 3.When a new building on this very site was proposed in 2008 (AM—2008-01),a building only about one third the size of what is currently proposed,the project was strongly opposed by local resident Bill Barratt,owner of the company that had installed concrete lighting poles along River Road.In a letter to the city,available in the online file,Mr. Barratt warned about the geological risks of large—scaleconstruction on this site,and he enclosed photos of the Schoellkopf collapse.Mr.Barratt died in 2011.He would undoubtedly have even greater reservations about the present proposal. Buildings proposed have successfully near the edge of the escarpment in the Fallsview Casino District,but these are at a much higher elevation than the development site on River Road.They are far above the level of the Niagara River.Stormwater drains away from rather than toward their foundations.Seepage through ?ssures is of less concern.Alan Tregebov,architect for the buildings proposed on River Road,acknowledged at Monday’s open house his concern about ?ssures in the rocks.Anyone observing the walls of the gorge in winter can see the patches of ice on the rockface where these ?ssures empty into the gorge.The development site on River Road is a more fragile natural environment than where the tall hotels now stand. Representatives of Time Development Group at Monday’s open house acknowledged that this relatively small company has never built a high-rise building before ~not anywhere,much less in Niagara Falls.Nor has it built townhouses or single—family homes in this city.Prudence therefore dictates pulling in such outside expertise as is necessary to ensure a safe and successful construction project. 6.One point of agreement between the developer and the host community is that both are eager for the construction of housing on this site.It has been an ugly,unused blight on the city for more than ten years,doing no good for anybody.Almost everybody is in a hurry for redevelopment.This is a good thing,so long as no corners are cut with respect to safety and environmental concerns. I am no more expert in rock science and environmental hazards than are the planners,the Mayor, and the Councillors of our city.I do not pretend to know how high or how deep buildings on the River Road redevelopment site can safely be built.For the six reasons summarized above, therefore,I believe that before any project of the proposed magnitude is approved,expertise in rock mechanics and slope stability assessment should be formally sought out. I appreciate the city’s government’s attention to this recommendation.With best wishes, Sincerely, 6{iA;.2s%K/‘/.5/1:5»/u Kenneth Westhues Page 107 of 827 Page 108 of 827 i=?.;+’l.;,, "I !oc4:'Ll;427é~4 ?»e : gm 07?/7—o// Mr.Alex Herlovitch Director of Planning,Building,and Development City of Niagara Falls 4310 Queen Street,PO Box 1023 Niagara Falls,Ontario,L2E 6X5 aher|ovitch@nlagarafa|ls.ca Dear Mr.Herlovitch: Thank you for the opportunity to attend the Open House on September 18,2017 to learn about the proposed condominium development on River Road between John and Phillip Streets.I have carefully reviewed the variances being requested by the applicant,and am writing to request that the Planning Department,and Council,not approve these variances. l have been the owner of 4434 Phillip Street since 1997,where I have made my home and operated a licensed Bed and Breakfast.Agents of Time Development made a concerted effort to purchase my property this past year.I told them that I was not interested in selling. To attain the density of development that they would like,I see that they have now requested variances on all four sides of their property that would allow them to build closer to neighbouring properties than the current zoning allows.In particular,they are requesting that the side yard width requirement be reduced from one quarter of the building height to 2.8 meters.This means that a twelve story building would tower fewer than 2.8 metres from my property line.If the current bylaw were enforced,the 77 metre (21 story)building would be 19.25 meters from the property to the south of mine,but also adjacent to the proposed development.It would be about halfthat for the 12 story building that they would like to build adjacent to my property. My request is that,at the least,you enforce a side yard width requirement of 10 metres from my property.Had you given me the opportunity to purchase the section of River Lane now owned by Time Development,this set—backwould have been achieved easily.By closing the section of River Lane and selling it to Time Development,you have enabled them to propose a project that would unreasonably intrude on the enjoyment of not only the two properties adjacent to the proposed development,but all the properties on Phillip and John Streets. I hope that City planning staff and Council will protect the interest of the many |ong—time residents living in teeimmediate area azffectedbythis proposed development,and reject thisuapplivcation.

I attended the open house hosted by Mr.Guetter last year and he was kind enough to provide me with the proposed condo design plans.I would start by saying that the design for the proposed condo development is aesthetically pleasing and,as I mentioned to Mr. Guetter at the time,I would be happy to see the land in question developed.Having said that,I do have the following serious concerns regarding the proposal,which I have previously expressed at the public meeting held in September 2017: 1.While I have no objection to Tower 2 (eleven stories)on the corner of Philip and River Rd.,1 am of the opinion that Tower 1 (twenty-one stories)at the corner of John and River Rd.is just too high,especially in View of its proximity to the two- storey residential properties on John St.In my opinion,a 21-storey tower extending into John st.will result in privacy issues for residents,a decrease in property value for the houses nearby,including mine,and/or interference with enjoyment of property for residens of John St. 2.There appears to be little or no buffer zone between Tower 1 (and the adjoining parking structure)and the two storey residences on John St.to soften the transition between the high-rise development and homes.In fact,one of the properties across the street from me (currently an empty lot upon which I understand a house is to be built)is within ten feet of the west side of the development (which I believe is the ramp to the condo parking).The lack of green space/buffer zone between the houses on John St.and the development would not be aesthetically pleasing and WDUIO nave an‘|l'T|paC[on DTIVBCYTOT nearoy FIOTTIES. 3.Densi?cation was cited by Mr.Guetter as being in line with provincial guidelines.I am sure the city is mindful,however,of the 60 and 61 storey development which Page 110 of 827 has already been approved by council for the opposite corner of John St.and River Rd.(the Luxury Resort by Hunter Milborne and Ralph Terrio).Mr.Guetter indicated Inc ulu mu.m.ulna um.............._,..H..-...........,............. I4»,......\.\.......,,...... according to the attached artlcle from the Daily Commercial News dated May 1, 2017,the 60 and 61 storey development is in fact proceeding,with groundbreaking to commence in 2 to 3 years.In my view,those towers will provide more than enough densi?cation within our community.Accordingly,the proposed 21 storey tower (Tower 1)should be restricted in height to a maximum of 10 -12 storeys. .Traf?c is also an obvious concern for me,as John St.would provide the only access r\=r|Iir\rI rln\1nInr\rnnn|'i¢ w ,.u.m..._.,I\Il cm,y.-.y..,-................-.-...,..............., With approximately 400 additional cars going in and out of the proposed condos each day,that would change drastically.To add to the problem,it appears from a perusal of the plan for the Mllborne/Terrio60 and 61 storey development on the opposite corner of John St.and River Rd.that access to parking for that high rise development would likely also be via John St.or John/Blondln,which would no doubt result in a traffic nightmare when both developments are completed. .,VJIJI ......u ._,.-.,..,......

What I can send you at this point is a map (attached)showing how much the developer paid for each of the six parcels of land assembled for this development.For each parcel,the map shows the total sale price and the price per square foot,also when the transaction took place. hpcifafp Qnv commissioning appraise .1 1Avu1|.u.Lv nu uuJ AAA»:-\4AA AAA\JA\d \J\r\-run-\p¢\.I Lane property —the instructions and information that were givento UToddhas not 1‘espondedtothe email I sent him a week ago in this regard.I requested these documents under FOI on 17 April. The matter is important because in at least one crucial way,Mr.Ellens was misinformed.The map on p.4 of his (it Consulting,the deve1oper’s planner)shows the developer as owning all properties abutting River Lane.In fact,one of those properties,4434 Philip Street,was and is owned and occupied by Susie Ong,longstanding proprietor of Ace of Hearts B&B.Her lot abuts River Lane both at the side and at the rear.She has not sold any part of her property to the developer.The map Mr.Ellens was given is plainly wrong. 1 Page 114 of 827 Mr.Ellens wrote in his appraisal (p.35): The typical disposition of a municipal road or unopened road allowance offers half of the roadway,at its centreline,to each of the bookending property owners.In the event that one of the abutting owners does not have any interest in the designated portion,the other abutting owner has the option to acquire the entire road or laneway. In the case at hand,Ms.Ong was never offered “half of the roadway,at its centreline.”She has strongly opposed the closing and selling of River Lane. In an email to you on 21 May,I wrote that by conservative estimate,the land the city sold to Time Development on 14 February 2017 for $12,000,was actually worth $273,000.The information I have uncovered since then suggests that my estimate was indeed conservative. In his letter of 4 June 2018,Mr.Ellens wrote that I “selected the sale along John Street which represented the highest price paid on the street at $550,000.”Mr.Ellens is mistaken.According to Geowarehouse,the developer paid $750,000 for the property two doors east (No.5 on the attached map).If the developer had paid the same amount per square foot ($158)for the River Lane property,the price for the latter would have been $1,437,800 —or $1,425,800 more than what the city sold it for. I thank city of?cials for releasing to Council and to me Mr.Ellens's appraisal and invoice,and continue to await the documents until now withheld.I will provide you with further information on this matter as it becomes available.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NNN Construction Ltd.is proposing to develop a 37 unit townhouse development on a portion of the subject lands (Parcel A, Schedule 1) and recognize an existing semi- detached on the remaining portion of lands (Parcel B, Schedule 1). The applicant has submitted an Official Plan Amendment for a parcel of land described as Parcel A (municipally known as 5906, 5916 and rear portion of 5928 and 5930 Dunn Street) that is proposed to be developed for 37 unit townhouse development. The lands are located on a portion of Dunn Street that is intended for residential intensification in the City’s Official Plan. The lands within the intensification corridor must provide a minimum Page 116 of 827 2 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 density of 50 units per hectare. The townhouse development is proposed at a density of 45 units per hectare. A Special Policy Area designation is requested to be added to the lands to allow the proposed density. Parcel described as Parcel A is currently vacant and is zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting these lands to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone to allow the proposed townhouse develop ment. The site specific regulations are requested for a reduction in the minimum lot area per dwelling unit and an increase in the maximum lot coverage and minimum landscaped open space. Parcel described as Parcel B (municipally known as 5928 and 5930 Du nn Street) contains a semi-detached dwelling. The front portion of the lands is zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) and the rear portion is zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No.79-200. The applicant is requesting the portion of the lands containing the semi-detached dwelling to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone, with reduced minimum lot area, minimum lot frontage, minimum front yard depth and minim um westerly interior yard regulations. NNN Construction Ltd. (Alexandre Nikitenko) is also proposing to develop a 0.82 ha parcel of land (Parcel A), as a Plan of Vacant Land Condominium. The condominium will divide the land into 37 units with a common private road and visitor parking area. Registering a Plan of Condominium will allow the individual ownership of the townhouse dwelling units. Planning staff recommends the applications for the following reasons: The development complies with Provincial policies with respect to achieving intensification within the Built-Up Area; The development complies with the Regional Official Plan (ROP), with respect to promoting higher density development in Urban Areas and supporting growth that contributes to the overall goal of providing a sufficient supply of housing that is suited to the needs of a variety of households and income groups in Niagara; The lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The predominant use of land in areas designated Residential shall be for dwelling units of all types catering to a wide range of households; The Official Plan allows development with a minimum net density of 50 units per hectare. Although the proposal provides a reduced density of 45 units per hectare, the proposed development is in character with the surrounding neighbourhood with respect to the built-form and setbacks and therefore consistent with the intent of the Official Plan; Page 117 of 827 3 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 The Plan encourages utilization and consolidation of properties to achieve larger scale and more comprehensive residential development; The requested zoning will provide appropriate regulations for the development and will ensure its compatibility with the established neighbourhood; The existing infrastructure can support the proposed development; The condominium will assist in providing housing choices and will contribute to the City’s required short term housing supply (3 years); and The conditions of draft plan approval, which address servicing, parkland dedication, fencing, utility installation, and all other matters related to the development of the vacant land condominium, are listed in Appendix A. The applicant will be submitting a future severance application to separate the lands containing the semi-detached dwelling from the balance of property. BACKGROUND Proposal NNN Construction Ltd. has requested an Official Plan and a Zoning By-law amendment for parcels of land described as Parcel A and Parcel B, located on the south side of Dunn Street between Ailanthus Avenue and Orchard Avenue (Schedule 1). The lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan and are located on a portion of Dunn Street that is identified as intensification corridor. The lands within the intensification corridor are proposed to be developed for medium and high density residential use, with a minimum density of 50 units per hectare. The applicant is requesting a Special Policy Area designation be applied to the Parcel A to permit the townhouse development with a density of 45 units per hectare. The lands described as Parcel A are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting these lands to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone to allow the proposed townhouse development. The site specific regulations are requested for a reduction in the minimum lot area per dwelling unit and an increase in the maximum lot coverage and minimum landscaped open space. Schedule 3, shows the details of the proposed development. The lands described as Parcel B contain a semi-detached dwelling. The front portion of the lands are zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) and the rear portion is zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No.79-200. The applicant is requesting the portion of the lands containing the semi - detached dwelling to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Single Family and Two Page 118 of 827 4 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 Family (R2) zone, with reduced minimum lot area, minimum lot frontage, minimum front yard depth and minimum westerly interior yard regulations. NNN Construction Ltd. (Alexandre Nikitenko) has applied to subdivide Parcel A with an area of 0.82 hectare. This plan will permit the creation of vacant land units (lots) for the future sale of the 37 townhouse dwelling units that are proposed. Schedule 2 shows the proposed unit layout with a common private road and visitor parking area. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands are generally flat and currently contain two single detached dwellings and one semi- detached dwelling. A valet parking lot is located to the south of the property. A townhouse development is located on the abutting property to the west. The former Niagara College Falls campus is located on the north side of Dunn Street. Single detached dwellings and a six storey apartment building (Pinewood Homes) are located to the east of the property. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara (the Region) - The land is located within the Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and within the Built-Up Area under the 2006 Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The PPS directs growth to settlement areas and encourages efficient use of land, resource s, infrastructure, and public service facilities that are planned or available. Growth management policies require that a minimum of 40% of all residential development occurring annually within the City shall be within the Built-Up Area. The proposal will make more efficient use of three underutilized parcels within the Built-Up Area, thereby contribution to the City’s intensification target. The subject lands are designated Urban Area in the Regional Official Plan (ROP). A full range of residential, commercial and industrial uses are generally permitted within the Urban Area designation, subject to the availability of adequate municipal services and infrastructure. The ROP promotes higher density development in Urban Areas and supports growth that contributes to the overall goal of providing a sufficient supply of housing that is affordable, accessible, and suited to the needs of a variety of households and income groups in Niagara. The proposal aligns with Regional policies. The subject lands are within the South Side High Lift Sewage Pumping Station (SPS) sewer shed. The Region has reviewed the recently completed 2016 Water and Wastewater Master Servicing Plan (W&WW MSP). The MSP has identified that the existing design peak wet weather is Page 119 of 827 5 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 close to the capacity at the station and the projected 2041 design peak wet weather flow will exceed the current capacity. The MSP has identified the need for a new South Niagara Falls Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to accommodate anticipated future growth in South Niagara Falls, which is estimated to be under construction by 2024 pending budget approval. Requested conditions to address the need for verification of the available wet weather sanitary capacity in the South Niagara Falls system and required mitigation measures to accommodate the development are included in Appendix A. Niagara Region has reviewed the Stormwater Management Design Brief by Hallex Engineering Ltd. (dated December 14, 2017). The report and the engineering drawings submitted are not signed and stamped by a professional engineer. The runoff quality shall be maintained to a normal (at least 70% total suspended solids removal) standard through the use of an oil grit separator. The Region has no objections to recommendations made in the Stormwater Management Design Brief. Requested conditions are outlined in Appendix A. The townhouse development is able to receive internal curbside waste collection through the Region, provided the site design complies with the Region’s policy/procedure. The proposed radii of the internal roadway are less than the internal radii required by the Regional Corporate Was te Collection Procedure. Regional staff request that the internal roadway radii be revised to meet the required Regional standard (10m radii). If this is not possible, Regional staff requires that waste collection truck turning templates at the reduced curb radii be submitted to demonstrate that the Regional waste collection truck can collect on -site without encroachment onto any internal curb/boulevard. Lastly the Regional Corporate Waste Collection Policy and Procedure outlines that collection vehicles a re not to reverse a distance greater than 15 meters. The applicant must provide, waste collection pads for units 30, 36 and 37, as illustrated on the Draft Plan of Condominium. A condition requiring the provision of waste collection pads and a truck turning template is included in the Appendix. Municipal Works, Transportation Services, Parks Design, Fire Services, Enbridge Gas and Canada Post No objections. Requested conditions are included in Appendix A. Neighbourhood Open House A Neighbourhood open house was held on May 16, 2018 to introduce the proposal to area residents. No area property owner or resident attended the open house to hear about the proposal or to provide comments. Page 120 of 827 6 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The Planning Act requires City planning decisions to comply with Provincial policies. These policies direct municipalities to facilitate residential intensification by directing 40% of all residential development to built -up areas. The proposed development will assist in meeting these targets and is a form of residential intensification promoted by the Province. 2. Official Plan The subject lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The predominant use of land in areas designated Residential is for dwelling unit of all types to cater to a wide range of households. The lands are located on a portion of Dunn Street that is intended for residential intensification. The lands within the intensification corridor must provide a minimum density of 50 units per hectare. The existing semi-detached dwelling provides a density of 50 units per hectare and conforms with the Official Plan. The townhouse development is proposed at a density of 45 units per hectare. A Special Policy Area designation is requested to be added to the lands to allow the proposed density. The proposed development conforms to the Official Plan as follows: Despite the proposed development being less than the minimum density, the proposed development is consistent with the intent of the Official Plan. The development will consist of 2 storey units which are similar in building heights, building setbacks and massing with the surrounding housing. The design guidelines in the Official Plan require setbacks to be appropriate to the building heights. The proposed townhouse dwellings are 7.6 metres in height and provide a sufficient interior side yard setback of 4 metres and rear yard setback of 7.5 metres. These setbacks comply with the design guidelines. The proposed development provides a gradation in density between the 6 storey apartment building (Pinewood Homes, 96.5 units per hectare) located on the north side of Dunn Street and the existing townhouse development (Rainbow Village, 35 units per hectare) located on the abutting easterly property. The applicant is proposing to consolidate three under -utilized properties and develop the lands for a more comprehensive residential development. Page 121 of 827 7 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 The proposed development will provide additional dwelling units in the neighbourhood. 3. Zoning By-law The lands known as 5906, 5916 and the back portion of 5928 and 5930 Dunn Street (Parcel A) are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting these lands to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone to allow the proposed townhouse development. The changes to the standard R4 regulations are summarized in the following table: ZONE REGULATIONS EXISTING REGULATIONS REQUESTED REGULATIONs Minimum lot area for a townhouse dwelling 250 square metres for each dwelling unit 222.62 square metres Maximum lot coverage 35% 43.2% Minimum landscaped open space 45 square metres for each dwelling unit 56.27 square metres for each dwelling unit The requested regulations can be supported for the following reasons: - The reduced lot area per dwelling accommodates a more compact built- form which is becoming more common in the City and provide for a more efficient use of land. - The minor 5% increase in lot coverage is to accommodate slightly larger dwellings. The proposed increase will be unperceivable. - An increase in the landscaping provision will ensure that the proposed development is well designed to integrate with the surrounding neighbourhood and provide sufficient amenity area for the future residents. The lands known as 5928 and 5930 Dunn Street contain a semi-detached dwelling. The front portion of the lands is zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) and the rear portion is zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with the Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting the portion of the lands containing the semi-detached dwelling to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Single Family and Two Family (R2) zone. Page 122 of 827 8 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 The changes to the standard R2 regulations are summarized in the following table : ZONE REGULATIONS EXISTING REGULATIONS REQUESTED REGULATIONS Minimum lot area for a semi-detached dwelling or a duplex 600 square metres 474 square metres Minimum lot frontage for a semi-detached dwelling or a duplex 18 metres 16.78 metres Minimum front yard depth 6 metres 3.2 metres The requested regulations can be supported for the following reasons: The existing semi-detached dwelling was constructed in 1930. The lot frontage and the front yard setback for the dwelling predate the zoning by - law. As the dwelling has been existence for over eight decades it has achieved a degree of compatibility with surrounding land uses. Further, the front yard for the existing dwelling is similar to other existing dwellings on Dunn Street. The applicant is proposing to sever the rear portion of lands containing the existing semi-detached dwelling and merge it with the other two properties owned by the applicant to allow the construction of the townhouse development. Although the lot area is reduced for the semi-detached dwelling the proposal provides sufficient amenity area in the rear yard. Further, reduction in the lot area would not be perceivable from Dunn Street and will have no impact on the streetscape. 4. Condominium Design and Conditions of Approval The plan of condominium will accommodate the intended division of the land into vacant units of land that can be owned separately. The plan will facilitate the sale of the townhome dwelling units to be built on them. The plan includes a private common road off Dunn Street and visitor parking area. The scale and height of the proposed dwellings will be compatible with the surrounding dwellings. The developer will be required to enter into a condominium agreement with the City. The agreement will address any necessary works and warning clauses. Land that is developed as a vacant land condominium is not made subject to Site Plan Control because development matters (i.e. site servicing/grading, landscaping, lighting, fencing, and waste disposal) are all addressed in the condominium agreement. Appendix A includes the recommended conditions of approval including the review of drainage and storm servicing by the Region and, parkland dedication and installation of the necessary facilities and services for Canada Post and Enbridge. Page 123 of 827 9 PBD-2018-33 June 19, 2018 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will generate development charge contributions and property tax revenue for the City. There are no other financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed condominium complies with the City’s Official Plan.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-37 26CD-11-2017-007 Sleek Developments Plan of Vacant Land Condominium 4552 Portage Road Applicant: Sleek Developments Inc. and APR Investments Ltd. Agent: Upper Canada Consulting (Jennifer Vida) RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the Sleek Developments Plan of Vacant Land Condominium be draft approved subject to the conditions in Appendix A; 2. That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as "approved" 20 days after notice of Council’s decision has been given as required by the Planning Act, provided no appeals of the decision have been lodged; 3. That draft approval be given for three years, after which approval will lapse unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council; and 4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Condominium Agreement and any required documents to allow for the future registration of the subdivision when all matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sleek Developments Inc. and APR Investments Ltd. are proposing to develop a townhouse condominium on a 0.87 ha parcel of land located on the east side of Portage Road, south of the CN Railway. Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments were approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) last year to designate and zone the property for residential purposes. The condominium will divide the land into 96 units of land with common private roads, visitor parking and amenity areas. The condominium will allow the individual ownership of the townhouse dwelling units. Planning staff recommends the applications for the following reasons: The development complies with Provincial and Regional policies with respect to achieving intensification and a range of housing within the Built-Up Area; and, The development conforms with the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 79- 200, as amended, and will be compatible with the surrounding land uses; Page 133 of 827 2 PBD-2018-37 June 19, 2018 The proposed condominium will assist in providing housing choices and contribute to the City’s required short term housing supply (3 years); and The conditions contained in Appendix “A” address City, Regional and NPCA interests, as well as the Minutes of Settlement negotiated between the applicant and Oleo Energies Inc. as part of the OMB’s approval of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments to facilitate the development. BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant proposes to register a Vacant Land Condominium on 4552 Portage Road (see Schedule 1). This plan will permit the creation of vacant land units (lots) for the future sale of 96 townhouse dwelling units. Schedule 2 shows the proposed layout of the private road and units. In December 2016, Council deferred an Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment application to redesignate the land from Industrial, in part, and Residential, in part, to Residential with area specific policies, and to rezone the land from General Industrial (GI) to a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) to permit the development of the land for townhouse dwellings . The application was subsequently appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) by the applicant. In a hearing held in May, 2017, the OMB approved the necessary amendment to the City’s Official Plan. The OMB also approved the necessary amendment to the Zoning By-law, but is withholding final approval until the City has advised that the requirements of the Official Plan amendment have been satisfactorily addressed. Site Conditions and Surrounding Land Uses The subject land was formerly used for the storage and sale of building materials. These lands are generally flat with some trees and scrub vegetation. A school, church and several dwellings are located immediately to the south of the subject land. A mix of housing, including single detached dwellings, townhouse dwellings and low rise apartments, is located further to the south on Portage Road The hydro canal and a recreational trail are located to the east. A main CN rail line and a spur line are located to the west and north. A number of industrial properties, including OLEO Energies Inc. and Niagara Industrial Mall, are located further to the north. A multi-tenant industrial building, formerly part of the property, abuts the site to the west. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara (the Region) Page 134 of 827 3 PBD-2018-37 June 19, 2018 No objections. The Region provided a number of conditions to address land use compatibility and implement recommendations of earlier air quality and noise studies, to protect the Regional flow monitoring station to the north of the site and to address standard development requirements. These conditions have been incorporated into Appendix A. Municipal Works, Transportation Services, Parks Design, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA), Enbridge Gas and Canada Post No objections. Requested conditions included in Appendix A. Fire Services The property is served by one entrance that is 235 metres long. A second access is normally required where the entrance is this long. A single long entrance can be accepted if additional fire safety measures are implemented. A condition to address this is included in Appendix A. Due to the length of the single entrance, the Fire Department requires all dwelling units to be sprinklered. CN Rail Requested conditions are included in Appendix A and require the execution of a development agreement with CN, registration of an environmental easement on the property and implementation of storm drainage to the satisfaction of CN Rail. Public Submissions One letter has been received form the owner of the industrial development at 4536 Portage Road and is included on tonight’s agenda. The letter asks for further information on the details of the site works, including landscaping, buffering, curbing, sidewalks and lighting. These details are to be provided to the City as conditions of approval. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1. Official Plan On September 25, 2017, the OMB issued an order approving an Official Plan Amendment to designate the lands Residential with special policies. Council subsequently adopted Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 126 on November 28, 2017, which implements this order by designating the lands Residential and Special Policy Area No. 71. Residential lands are permitted to be developed with a variety of housing types, including block townhouses, up to a density of 40 units per hectare, with higher Page 135 of 827 4 PBD-2018-37 June 19, 2018 densities permitted along arterial roads such as Portage Road. To address land use compatibility with surrounding industrial uses and the railway, Special Policy Area No. 71 requires the plan of condominium to incorporate mitigation measures as determined by the air quality, acoustical and vibration studies that were prepared as part of the Official Plan amendment process. The proposed development conforms to the Official Plan and OPA No. 126 as follows: The proposed townhouses will have an overall density of 18.8 units per hectare, well within the densities anticipated by the Official Plan; The noise, vibration and air quality studies completed by the applicant addresses compatibility with the surrounding industrial uses and railway. Recommended mitigation measures include the provision of a vegetated berm/wall with a height up to 10 metres along the west and north property lines, upgraded building standards (brick facades for certain units and air conditioning), a further noise analysis once final grading information is available, and warning clauses for future home owners. The proposed development will provide a transition from the low density residential and institutional uses to the south to the industrial uses to the north. 2. Zoning By-law The OMB has approved an amendment to Zoning By-law No. 79-200 that will result in the land being rezoned a site specific Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) zone. This site specific zoning permits townhouse dwellings, group dwellings of 2 or more townhouse dwellings and a small community centre per the applicant’s original proposal. Site specific lot area (to permit the number of dwelling units proposed), lot frontage, side and rear yard depths, setbacks from a public lane, lot coverage, privacy yard depth and maximum floor area of a community centre provisions are implemented in this zoning. A final order from the OMB on the zone change will be issued once the City confirms the land use compatibility matters are addressed in the conditions of condominium approval. The conditions contained in Appendix “A” address these matters and upon approval of the Condominium the City will be able to issue its confirmation to the OMB. The development conforms to zoning approved by the OMB. 3. Condominium Design and Conditions of Approval The plan of condominium will permit the division of the land into units of land and the sale of the townhome dwelling units to be built on them. The plan includes a Page 136 of 827 5 PBD-2018-37 June 19, 2018 private common road off of Portage Road, visitor parking and amenity areas. The scale and height of the proposed dwellings will b e compatible with the surrounding land uses. In relation to the above noted OMB decision, the applicant and the industrial operator to the north (Oleo Energies Inc.) entered into Minutes of Settlement. These minutes implement the requirements of Special Policy Area No. 71 and require the construction of a berm and noise fence along the west and north sides of the property, air conditioning for all units, upgraded building construction for units with exposure to the railway and warning clauses for future residents. These requirements have been incorporated into the conditions in Appendix “A”. During the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendment process, residents expressed concerns about the impact of traffic from the development on Portage Road. To reduce traffic queuing on Portage Road in front of the development, the conditions of approval require the construction of a left turn lane into the development to the satisfaction of the City. The developer will be required to enter into a condominium agreement with the City. The agreement will address any necessary works and warning clauses. Land that is developed as a vacant land condominium is not made subject to Site Plan Control because development matters (i.e. site servicing/grading, landscaping, lighting, fencing, and waste disposal) are all addressed in the condominium agreement. Appendix “A” includes the recommended conditions of approval including the review of drainage and storm servicing by the NPCA, the sprinklering of buildings, as recommended by Fire Services, and installation of the necessary facilities and services for Canada Post and Enbridge. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed development will generate development charge contributions and property tax revenue for the City. There are no other financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed condominium complies with the City’s Official Plan, as amended by the OMB.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-38 Official Plan Amendment No. 118 Grand Niagara Secondary Plan RECOMMENDATION That Council adopt the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan as it is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, complies with the Provincial Growth Plan and the Niagara Region Official Plan, subject to: 1. The 2 km Cytec Arc being extended west outside the plan area across lands owned by Rand Investments. 2. The zoning of the golf course being changed to a DH (Development Holding) zone. 3. The Amendment being forwarded to Niagara Region for approval. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Area, as shown on the map, is approximately 330ha (815 ac.) in area and extends south of the Welland River to Biggar Road and west from the QEW to the urban boundary at Grand Niagara Drive (formerly Crowland Avenue). Official Plan Amendment No. 118, the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan provides a detailed policy framework for the development within the Plan Area, and more specifically for the conversion of the golf course lands owned by Rand Investments. At build out the Secondary Plan will provide for: 3,500 to 4,300 people 1,350 to 1,800 dwelling units 3,600 jobs A Public Meeting was held on July 11, 2017 to obtain public comments. The concerns raised by the public have been addressed and are detailed in this report. Page 150 of 827 2 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 Staff is recommending adoption of the Secondary Plan subject to the 2km Cytec arc being extended west over lands outside the urban boundary owned by Rand Investments and a DH zoning being applied to the golf course lands. The landowner is in agreement with both conditions. BACKGROUND Rand Investments (Rand) began consultation with City staff and agencies in 2015 on the process of redeveloping the Grand Niagara Golf Course. Rand are the owners of the existing Grand Niagara Golf Course. Staff directed that a secondary plan be undertaken for the larger area shown on page 1 which includes vacant lands, several existing uses (residential, ES Fox, Minacs, for example) as well as the lands for the proposed South Niagara Hospital. The Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Area is approximately 330ha. It should be noted that while the hospital lands are included in the Plan Area, the planning for the hospital is following its own provincially-lead planning process. The golf course lands are currently designated Open Space and En vironmental Protection Area in the Official Plan. Special Policy Area #69 provides specific policy direction for development of the golf course and associated residential and accommodation uses. The balance of the lands beyond the golf course are designa ted Industrial, Tourist Commercial, Environmental Protection Area and Environmental Conservation Area. The Land Use Plan, Schedule A-4, is attached as Appendix 4. Overview of the Secondary Plan Official Plan Amendment No. 118, the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan, provides a detailed policy framework for the development within the Plan Area, and more specifically for the conversion of the golf course lands owned by Rand Investments. At build out the Secondary Plan will provide for: 3,500 to 4,300 people 1,350 to 1,800 dwelling units 3,600 jobs Build-out is anticipated in a 10- to 15-year timeframe. Details of the amendment and its compliance with Provincial, Regional and City policy documents follows in this report. Supporting Studies and Reports Submissions An extensive number of studies and reports were submitted in support of the Secondary Plan. Draft Secondary Plan Environmental Impact Study (including an Ecological Restoration Plan); Responses to comments memorandum Traffic Impact Study Stormwater Management Study Page 151 of 827 3 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 Servicing Report EA requirements memorandum Public Consultation The Secondary Plan has undergone extensive public consultation – three open houses were held and separate meetings have been held with landowners and stakeholders regarding various issues. Comments received at the Public Meeting A Statutory Public Meeting was held on July 11, 2017 to receive public input. Several submissions were made – the nature of the submissions and their resolution are detailed in Appendix 1. The issues and their resolution are summarized below. George Stewart/Peter Wilk – Both reside on Biggar Road and raised concerns about the extension of urban services to their lands. The matter was resolved through the inclusion of an appendix to the Official Plan which will illustrate that their lands (as well as a third residence) will be serviced from within the Plan Area to the north as the gol f course re-develops. Rose Aurora – A resident of Grassybrook Road, Mrs. Aurora had questions about future development of her lands currently as compared to their potential if included in the Secondary Plan. Mrs. Aurora has chosen to be included in the Secondary Plan as her lands would be constrained by the current Open Space designation in isolation of the surrounding lands which will be designated Residential. Sebastian Felato – The owner’s lands are located on the south side of Lyon’s Creek Road, bordered by Willowdell Road and the QEW. Mr. Felato had questions about future development of his lands currently as compared to their potential if included in the Secondary Plan. Mr. Felato has chosen to remain outside the Plan Area. Natural Heritage – As noted in Appendix 1, natural heritage issues were discussed with those concerned at a meeting in September, 2017. Subsequently, an explanatory letter was submitted by Savanta, Rand’s ecological consultant that further addressed these issues. The Savanta letter, as well as the Ecological Restoration Pl an, is attached to this report (see Appendix 2 and 3, respectively). Compensation – any features that will be removed are non-significant and will be undertaken through an agreement with the City. On -site and off-site rehabilitation is part of the Ecological Restoration Plan. Unevaluated Wetlands – Rand’s ecological consultant had discussions with the MNRF – no issues were raised by MNRF. Establishing connections between features – the Ecological Restoration Plan provides for wildlife crossings. Page 152 of 827 4 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 Presence of old growth forest – A review of the woodlands by the ecological consultant revealed that none of the woodland have old growth forest characteristics. Cytec/Solway Distance Separation – Rand has engaged Cytec/Solway in discussions to reduce the distance separation from the Cytec/Solway operation. Rand’s position was that the 2km arc from the phosphine tanks used elsewhere in the Official Plan for sensitive land uses should apply to these lands for consistency and fairness rather than 1.09km from the intersection of Garner and Chippawa Creek Roads . Resolution has been attained in the following manner: Cytec/Solway has agreed a 2km arc measured from phosphine tanks will be utilized instead of the current 1.09 km arc. The 2 km arc will be shown on Schedules A and A-4 to the Official Plan. Lands within 200m of the 2km arc may only be developed for detached dwellings and limited in height to 2 ½ storeys. The 2km arc is to be extended west over lands outside of the Plan Area but on lands owned by Rand. That notice is to be included in any subdivision or condominium agreement or purchase and sale agreement warning of the proximity of heavy industrial uses. Notices for any future Planning Act applications in the Plan Area are to be sent to Cytec/Solway. Assessment of Comments Regarding natural heritage, further detailed EIS’s will be required as part of future applications for zoning by-law amendments and draft plan approval. The natural heritage restoration and enhancement strategy that was part of the Secondary Plan EIS will require that an agreement be entered into between the City and Rand. The agreement will detail matters such as the type of works, the timing relative to removal of the existing feature and development phasing. Performance measures will be established for the rehabilitation and enhancement lands. A Letter of Credit will be required to be submitted by Rand prior to the initiation of any rehabilitation works as a guarantee. With respect to the Cytec/Solway, the comments noted above have been included in the amendment and will be included within future implementing zoning by -laws and subdivision agreements. The inclusion of the 2km arc over the Plan Area is shown on the attached Schedule A-4 (Appendix 4). It is also recommended that Schedule A be amended to include the 2km arc over lands owned by Rand that lie to the west of the Plan Area that area also outside the urban boundary but have an approval for a golf course development (Appendix 5). The Amendment The Grand Niagara Secondary Plan, Official Plan Amendment No. 118 is a comprehensive plan that will provide a detailed policy framework for development. The Plan Area is a future growth area, as identified in Schedule B to the Official Plan and i t Page 153 of 827 5 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 is anticipated that build-out will occur within a 10- to 15-year period. The Plan Area is comprised of Greenfield and Built-Up Area lands and is to be developed as a complete community. Complete communities are areas that are developed with densities that support public transit, offer opportunities and support people of all ages; provide a variety of housing and a mix of employment and commercial uses. The Secondary Plan achieves the goal of a complete community in the following manner: Residential Lands – the majority of the existing golf course lands will be designated for low to medium residential uses that include detached and semi - detached houses as well as street, block and stacked townhouses. These lands should yield approximately 1,100 to 1,400 dwelling units. While the Plan Area is comprised of Built-Up and Greenfield lands, it is designed to meet the Greenfield density target of at least 53 people and jobs per hectare. Housing – the Secondary Plan contains policies on the provision of affor dable housing as well as permitting a variety of housing types and lot sizes in the Low to Medium Residential designation. Apartment buildings as well as mixed commercial/residential uses are permitted in the Mixed Use designation which provide for further diversity in housing types. Ancillary Uses – Parkland and elementary school sites are integrated into the Residential lands and at walkable distances, thus lessening the use of private vehicles. Mixed Use – located along Biggar and Montrose Roads, lands under the Mixed Use designation are intended to provide opportunities for commercial and service commercial uses as well as residential in either single-use or multi-use buildings. The Mixed Use areas will also benefit from the proximity to the hospital site providing opportunities for spin-off uses. The Mixed Use lands are anticipated to accommodate approximately 475 to 710 people and 780 jobs. Natural Heritage – natural heritage features include Provincially Significant wetlands, woodlands and valleylands as well as significant wildlife habitat. Buffer lands are included in the EPA and ECA designations. Development except for conservation uses is not permitted. Lands within the Cytec Arc – a small portion of the Plan Area lies within the Cytec Arc. These lands are to be dedicated to the City, over and above and 5% dedication for parkland required by the Planning Act. Employment – lands designated Employment are intended to provide a wide range of uses including manufacturing, research facilities, laboratories and offices. Hospital Employment Campus – includes the proposed South Niagara hospital lands and those adjacent and is intended to provide for a mix of uses (employment, commercial, institutional) that will support the proposed hospital. Staff has reviewed Official Plan Amendment No. 118, the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan, for compliance with the Official Plan. The amendment complies with policies respecting secondary planning. Part 4, section 3 states: Page 154 of 827 6 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 3.1 Council may require that a secondary plan be prepared prior to the undertaking of any major development, redevelopment, or where any major proposal will have the potential effect of substantially altering the pattern of land use in an area. The golf course itself is a prime redevelopment opportunity that capitalizes on current and planned infrastructure. The Plan Area will undergo substantial changes in the pattern of land use, and the Secondary Plan will provide the policy framework for this development. Part 4, section 3 states further, that the following are to be detailed within a secondary plan: o Overall population capacity related to road and service infrastructure – the Plan Area is designed for a population of 3,500 to 4,300 people. Assessment of the current road system has to factor in the proposed hospital as well as the Riverfront Community Plan. Upgrades to the road network will be required at various phases of development. Servicing can be accommodated through the Grassybrook Pumping Station, which ma y require upgrades when the hospital is factored in. o Location of major engineering facilities – as noted above, the Grassybrook Pumping Station is a major component of the sanitary system. Ultimately sanitary flows are conveyed to the High Lift Pumping Station. The Secondary Plan contains policies that require the sanitary system to be designed in accordance with the South Niagara Falls Servicing Strategy. o Location of residential densities – the Land Use Plan, Schedule A-4 (Appendix 4) illustrates the location of the residential lands as well as the Mixed Use land which also provide housing. o Needs of the residential community – the Plan Area is designed as a complete community which provides for the needs of the community in terms of services, parkland, schools and other ancillary uses. o Road network – the arterial and collector road system is illustrated on Schedule A-4. o Environmental constraints – as noted above, an EIS and accompanying Ecological Restoration Plan, were submitted by Rand which provided an assessment of the natural heritage system. All significant features are to be protected and appropriately designated in accordance with the City Natural Heritage policies. Compensation will be only be undertaken on non - significant features pursuant to any Work Permits required by the NPCA and a Resource Management Agreement with the City. The Official Plan’s Strategic Policy Direction objectives call for the efficient use of existing urban land and infrastructure, to meet an intensification target of 40% annually, and to meet Greenfield densities of 53 people and jobs per hectare. The Secondary Plan fulfils these objectives. The Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Area is a future growth area in the City as identified on Schedule B. Page 155 of 827 7 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 In addition, the amendment is complies with Schedule A -2, the Urban Structure Plan, by maintaining employment lands that are identified as the QEW employment Corridor. Official Plan Amendment No. 118 will remove the current Open Space designation on the golf course lands as well as Special Policy Area No. 34 and replace them with the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan. The amendment will designate the golf course lands Residential and a portion of the lands along the north side of Biggar Road as well as an area along the west side of Montrose Road, Minor Commercial, coinciding with the Mixed Use designation in the Secondary Plan. Natural heritage lands will be designated Environmental Protection Area or Environmental Conservation Area depending on the feature. All other designations on Schedule A within the Plan Area – Industrial, Tourist Commercial, EPA and ECA – will remain unchanged. Accordingly, Official Plan Amendment No. 118 complies with the Official Plan. Provincial Policy and Niagara Region Official Plan Consistency/Conformity Council is obligated to ensure compliance with Provincial and upper tier planning documents. The policy framework established in the Secondary Plan is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and is in compliance with the Provincial Growth Plan and the Niagara Region Official Plan. 1. Provincial Policy Statement – The Secondary Plan is consistent with the PPs in the following manner: - It is a logical extension of growth and development and makes efficient use of urban land; - The Plan Area contains a mix of uses, housing types and residential densities; - Existing and planned infrastructure is utilized; - Employment lands are protected and employment opportunities created; - The plan Area will be developed in a manner that is transit-supportive; and - No development or site alteration is permitted on PSW’s or other natural features of provincial significance. 2. Provincial Growth Plan – the Secondary Plan complies with the Growth Plan in the following manner: - The Plan Area includes lands that are identified as Greenfield and Built -Up Area; - The redevelopment of the golf course lands in the Built -Up Area is considered intensification and an efficient re-use of developed urban lands; - Redevelopment of the golf course lands will contribute to the attainment of the 40% intensification target the City has to achieve; Page 156 of 827 8 PBD-2018-38 June 19, 2018 - Greenfield lands will be developed at a density that meets the Growth Plan targets; - Employment lands are protected for future development; - The Plan Area will be a complete community with a variety of uses and densities; and - A variety of housing densities will assist in the provision of affordable housing. 3. Niagara Region Official Plan – the Secondary Plan complies with the Niagara Region Official Plan in the following manner: - The Secondary Plan provides for the redevelopment and intensification of lands within the Built-Up Area and will contribute the City and Region meeting intensification targets; - The Secondary Plan protects and maintains to a great extent, Gateway Employment Lands. While some lands will be designated Mixed Use in the Secondary Plan which allows for some residential development, employment uses are also permitted thereby maintaining the employment aspect of these lands; and - As the majority of the Secondary Plan is located within the Built -Up Area and meets Provincial and Regional policy, approval authority has been delegated to the City. Implementation Primarily, the Secondary Plan will be implemented through Planning Act applications from land owners, through such means as zoning by-law amendments and plans of subdivision or condominium. Staff is recommending a DH (Development Holding) zone be applied to the golf course lands so as to replace the current golf course development zoning which would be out of conformity with the Secondary Plan. Rand has no objection to this recommendation. Improvements to the existing road network and to existing infrastructure may have to be undertaken through an Environmental Assessment process, depending on the type and extent of work being proposed. CONCLUSION Staff is recommending adoption of Official Plan Amendment No. 118, the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan. The Secondary Plan will establish a detailed set of policies that will guide the development and redevelopment of the Plan Area over the next 10 to 15 years. The by-law for adoption is on Council’s agenda. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The Grand Niagara Secondary Plan sets the stage for further development, redevelopment and investment in the Plan Area resulting in increased assessment revenue.

The requests for additional information relate to the Grand Niagara Environmental Impact Study (Savanta 2017). Also in attendance were representatives of the City of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, and the Region of Niagara. Three specific comments and requests for additional information are addressed in this correspondence: • Concerns expressed regarding the removal portions of a woodland located south of Grassy Brook Road (FOD7-9), and its associated features and functions; • The potential presence of “old growth forests” within an area denoted as FOD7-9 in the Environmental Impact Study (Savanta 2017); and • Concerns regarding the degree of local linkages for wildlife movement in the post development scenario. Removal of Portions of Woodland FOD7-9 The proposed development of the Subject Lands will result in the removal of 1.39 ha of deciduous forest located south of Grassy Brook Road. This small area of woodland, located on the south side of Grassy Brook Road, is classified as Ecological Land Classification unit FOD7- 9 (Fresh-Moist Pin Oak-Green Ash Lowland Deciduous Forest). It is located partly within the hydro right-of-way and is dominated by Pin Oak, followed by Green Ash and White Elm. The main species in the shrub layer are Common Buckthorn, Grey Dogwood and Red Raspberry. The herb layer is poorly developed and mainly composed of the invasive species Garlic Mustard. Due to the infestation of Emerald Ash Borer, most of the ash trees are in poor health or have already died resulting in canopy gaps that have allowed the shrub layer to proliferate. The age of this woodlot was assessed as “young” (out of the possible categories of Pioneer, Young, Mid- Aged, Mature and Old Growth). In terms of its Size Class Analysis, recorded tree diameter ranges were: occasional stems <10cm; abundant stems 10 cm to 24 cm; and occasional stems, 25 cm to 50 cm. Page 161 of 827 Response to September 21, 2017 Natural Heritage Meeting Comments Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Project No 7201 Page 2 of 7 The present composition of Unit FOD7-9 is relatively simple, with a few native tree species forming the canopy and a mix of native and exotic species in the understory. Although establishing a viable forest at a new location is a process that will take time, this type of woodlot can be effectively replicated with careful planning and management. The Grand Niagara Ecological Restoration Plan (Appendix F of the Savanta February 2017 EIS) provides for a net gain in woodland area through the restoration of woodland areas west of Crowland Avenue, and through the planting of 10 m woodland buffers east of Crowland Avenue (along retained woodlands). Woodland restoration areas west of Crowland Avenue include: slough forest (a combination of lowland and upland forest types), upland forest, and in-fill woodland restoration of an existing cultural savannah/thicket to facilitate development of a mixed forest community. The restoration will also take into consideration ongoing challenges with the replacement of existing species, such as avoidance of Ash and Elm (i.e., avoidance of insect and disease damage). The final community composition may therefore be different from the community being replaced. Presence of Old Growth Characteristics None of the woodlands present within the Subject Lands, including Unit FOD7-9, possess the floristic, structural and habitat characteristics that are associated with “Old Growth” forest stands. Recognized old growth characteristics include: advanced age (at least 120 years), dominance by late successional and climax species (e.g., maple, beech), presence of large snags with cavities, abundant large fallen woody debris on the ground, age stratification from young to medium aged to massive very old individuals, and the pit and mound micro- topography. Forest unit FOD7-9 is a young community that is composed of small to medium sized trees. It lacks late-successional species, and is dominated by exotics in the lower strata. A review of historic satellite images show that this location was largely open in 1934. This establishes the age of the woodlot at about 80 years. Wildlife Linkages The current Grand Niagara Ecological Restoration Plan provides for one enhanced road crossing at Grassy Brook Road to facilitate the movement of small to medium wildlife from the riparian areas to the south that are associated with Grassy Brook creek/wetland to the Maple Deciduous Swamp (SWD 3)/Fresh-Moist-Oak-Maple-Hickory deciduous forest (FOD9) feature located immediately north of Grassy Brook Road. Citizens attending the September 21 natural heritage meeting asked about the ability to provide additional crossing opportunities for wildlife movement north of Grassy Brook Road to the Welland River (located along the northern boundary of the Subject Lands). Conceptual information with respect to how crossings would be designed was also requested. Having review this request in detail, we are recommending that the Ecological Restoration Plan proposed for the Subject Lands be revised to include the following: • Two enhanced dry crossings of Grassy Brook Road to facilitate the north-south movement of wildlife within NHS features and to the Welland River; and Page 162 of 827 Response to September 21, 2017 Natural Heritage Meeting Comments Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Project No 7201 Page 3 of 7 • Two enhanced wet crossings of Crowland Avenue to facilitate the east-west movement of across the Subject Lands. The locations of these proposed enhanced wildlife crossings are illustrated on Figure 1 (attached). Wildlife Crossing Approach As noted above four enhanced wildlife crossings are proposed within the Subject Lands (Figure 1). Road crossing designs for corridors will encompass aquatic biology, stream morphology and hydraulics and terrestrial connectivity. Finalized road widths and profiles will affect the opportunities for enhanced wildlife passage at each crossing location. Some additional information follows, regarding how these crossings will function. Target wildlife species for wildlife crossings through the culverts (wet crossings where associated with watercourses) and underpasses (dry crossings) are amphibians (Spring Peeper, American Toad, Gray Tree Frog, Green Frog, Western Chorus Frog), potentially reptiles (i.e., snake and turtle species), and small to medium sized mammals (vole(s), shrew(s), mice, Gray Squirrel, Striped Skunk, Common Raccoon, Eastern Cottontail, Red Fox, Virginia Opossum and Coyote). Ungulates (i.e., White-tailed Deer) will cross over the road, and measures (i.e., signage, vegetation planting at ROWs) to avoid collisions with road traffic are further discussed at the end of this letter. Studies of small-medium mammals, amphibians and reptiles have determined that movement of these species through culverts is most highly correlated with presence of vegetative cover at culvert entrance as well as abundance of these species on either side of the culvert (Foresman 2004; Clevenger and Waltho 2005). Small-medium mammals, amphibian and reptiles were observed to use a wide variety of culvert diameter and/or width for passage (Brehm 1989; Krikoswki 1989; Yanes et al. 1995; Clevenger et al 2001; Foresman 2004; Woltz et al. 2008). Krikoswki (1989) observed amphibians using 0.3 m tunnels that were up to 42 m in length. Clevenger et al. (2001) found that 1.0 to 1.5 m diameter culvert facilitates passage for medium mammals, while 0.5 to 1.0 m diameter culverts were suitable for movement of small mammals. Woltz et al. (2008) found that amphibians and reptiles avoid using culverts less than 0.5 m in diameter. Substrate embankment material within the culvert/tunnel is important; amphibians and small mammals will avoid rip-rap (difficult terrain); smaller substrate should be placed on top of rip-rap (where rip-rap is needed) to support amphibian and small mammal movement. While the Subject Lands are outside the Oak Ridges Moraine, this document (MTO 2006) provides a literature review of amphibian tunnel studies and provides recommendations for wildlife crossings. The Environmental Guide for Wildlife in the Oak Ridges Moraine (2006) recommends a two-way tunnel design, with 1.0 m to 1.5 m diameter culverts where no open grates are used; 0.45 m diameter culverts if open grates are used; directional fencing at entrance/exit; and a natural substrate. Literature for dry crossing tunnels under roadways indicates that they should be designed to be: A minimum of 0.3 to 1.0 m in diameter; Provide low stature opening cover (to prevent predation); and have a moist substrate bottom consisting gravel or sod (Callaro et al. 2005 and Pomezanski 2017). Page 163 of 827 Response to September 21, 2017 Natural Heritage Meeting Comments Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Project No 7201 Page 4 of 7 Where crossings are associated with culverts (creek crossings), as proposed along Crowland Avenue, the crossings will be designed to include terrestrial benches (also referred to as shelves) to permit passage under a range of flow conditions. Veenhaas and Brandjes (1999) and Foresman (2004) have found that small and medium mammals, amphibians and reptiles will use wildlife shelves within culverts for passage when culverts are inundated. Culvert design is based on the average annual flow values from the post development model for these years (i.e., maximum days of inundation per year based on review of the peaks above the threshold discharge and duration of these peaks in hours). A wildlife shelf may not be necessary in culverts if the design cross section through these crossings will provide for dry wildlife passage for most times of the year above the low flow channel banks. If it is determined through the inundation results, completed at detailed design, that a wildlife shelf is required for a given culvert, the elevation of the wildlife shelf will be located to ensure dry passage above the inundated overbank areas while maximizing height between the shelf and the top of the culvert. The design will follow recommendations by Veenhaas and Brandjes (1999) and Foresman (2004) to support movement of small to medium mammals and amphibians and reptiles and consists of the following components: • Shelf is at elevation within culvert to allow dry passage based on the review of average annual flow data; • Shelves, where recommended, will connect to the NHS (i.e. stream corridors or other NHS features) at entrance/exit of each culvert; • Ramp entrance/exit to shelf are also to be “in the dry”; • Concrete construction; • 40 cm width; and, • Suitable directional fencing is to be provided to guide amphibians and reptiles to entrance. A literature review of ambient conditions within a culvert (including light, moisture and temperature) found that some amphibian and reptile species exhibited a preference for certain light conditions within culverts (Brehm 1989; Dexel 1989; Krikowski 1989; Langton 1989; Jackson,1996; Rodriguez et al. 1996; Woltz et al. 2008). For example, Jackson (1996) found that spotted salamander had reduced times in entering and passing through tunnels when there was artificial light provided. Experiments by Woltz et al. (2008) tested behavioural choices of snapping turtles, painted turtles, green frogs and leopard frogs for tunnels with differing aperture diameter, substrate type, length, light permeability and effective barrier heights. They found that green frog actively chose the most light-permeable tunnel. Spotted salamander and green frog may have preferences for culverts with more light. It is recommended that culverts have been designed to provide a minimum of 1.0 m height clearance from the top of the embankment material (not from low flow channel) to top of culvert; this height will support passage of up to medium sized mammals. Fines will be overlaid on the embankment material (300 mm stones) to support passage of small mammals and amphibians. Page 164 of 827 Response to September 21, 2017 Natural Heritage Meeting Comments Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Project No 7201 Page 5 of 7 Landscape plans (i.e., vegetative planting at ROW) and directional fencing to direct small and medium wildlife movement under the culverts and off of the roads, will be determined through detailed design. Road Signage and ROW Plantings to Support Over Road Crossing Road ecology studies in Europe and North America have demonstrated that amphibian (frog, toad, salamander) and reptile (turtle, snake) movement across roadways are associated with changes in water levels in natural features, breeding and dispersal time periods. Successful recruitment and dispersal are key in maintaining anuran populations (Semlitsch 2000). GIS analysis of road crossing locations have found that they are correlated with adjacent forest or wetland cover. Measures to encourage amphibian and reptile movement, through the culvert instead of across the road, through directional fencing and vegetative cover upstream and downstream of the culvert will facilitate culvert crossings by amphibians and reptiles; however, some over road crossings can still be expected to occur. Road signage should be installed for ungulate crossing areas (where the NHS meets road) and amphibian and reptile signage considered at these locations if monitoring determines that there is across road movements during spring migration and breeding seasons. The location and design of road signage across roads will be determined through the detailed design of the ecological restoration plan for the Subject Lands. We trust that the above provides further clarification and addresses any outstanding comments/concerns related to wildlife crossings and woodland removal and restoration efforts proposed within the Subject Lands.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Clerks Department SUBJECT: CD-2018-05 Niagara Compliance Audit Committee for Municipal Elections RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the City of Niagara Falls, collectively with the Niagara Region and the other 11 Local Area Municipalities, re-establish the Niagara Compliance Audit Committee; 2. That the updated Terms of Reference attached as Appendix 1 of Report CD- 2018-05 be approved; 3. That the Acting City Clerk be delegated the authority to make any legislative or administrative changes to the terms of reference; 4. That the Acting City Clerk be delegated the authority to appoint members to the 2018 Compliance Audit Committee; and 5. That By-law 2010-137 being a by-law to establish the Niagara Compliance Audit Committee for the Regional Municipality of Niagara be repealed. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (the “Act”) requires municipalities and local boards to establish a Compliance Audit Committee before October 1st in the year of an election. BACKGROUND A qualified elector who believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened the campaign finance provisions of the Act may apply to the compliance audit committee for a compliance audit. Since 2010, the Niagara Region, the 12 Local Area Municipalities (LAMs) and the Niagara Public and Catholic School Board s (the “Joint Participants”), have continued with the joint Niagara Compliance Audit Committee (the “Committee”) under identical terms of reference. Staff are recommending continued participation in the joint Page 172 of 827 2 CD – 2018-05 June 19, 2018 Committee. Due to legislative changes to the Act, it is necessary to update the terms of reference that are attached to this report. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Since the Committee was first established in 2010, the Joint Participants have continued with the Committee under identical terms of reference, including recruitment and selection of members for appointment by councils/boards. As a result of legislative changes to the Act, it is necessary to update the terms of reference for the Committee to include provisions for registered third party advertise rs (local responsibility), over-contributor reports from the Clerk as well as housekeeping improvements. A copy of the updated terms of reference are attached as Appendix 1. They have been reviewed and agreed to by the Niagara Area Clerks Election Task Force. It is expected the Councils/Boards will have considered and finalized this matter within the months of June and July. The updated terms of reference include a provision for delegated authority to the Clerk to make any future changes thereto as a result of legislative or administrative requirements, as well as delegated authority to the Joint Clerks for the appointment of the committee members, and to inform Council accordingly. It is more common now for Council to delegate the appointment authority to the Clerks of the Committee in order to remove any perception of bias and to keep the statutory committee at arms -length, given Members of Council who seek re-election for the 2018-2022 term may be the subject of a compliance audit request. Examples of such delegated authority include the Regions of: Durham, Halton, Peel, Waterloo and York. Compliance Audit Committee Highlights Each municipality and local board must establish a compliance audit committee before October 1 in an election year. The committee shall be composed of not less than 3 and not more than 7 members. Ineligible for appointment: employees or officers of municipality or local board, members of council or local board, candidates or registered third party advertisers in the election for which the committee is established. When appointing persons to the committee, regard shall be had to professionals with a background in law, auditing, accounting, administration and/or public administration. Preference will be given to those with an understanding of municipal campaign finance rules, analytical and decision -making skills, and previous experience with or as a member of government boards, task forces and/or quasi-judicial bodies. Term of office of the committee is concurrent with the term of council or local board. Page 173 of 827 3 CD – 2018-05 June 19, 2018 The council or local board shall pay all costs in relation to the committee’s operation and activities. The committee is responsible for considering applications from eligible electors that believe, on reasonable grounds, that a candidate or a registered third party has contravened a provision of the Act relating to election campaign finances even if a financial statement has not yet been filed under Section 88.25 of the Act. The Region will be responsible for processing and covering the costs for any application for the Chair and Regional Councillors. LAMs are responsible for registered third party advertiser applications. School Boards are responsible for any trustee application. The Role of the Compliance Audit Committee includes: Receive and determine whether or not to grant or reject application. Appoint auditors, when necessary. Receive compliance audit report from auditor and make decision with regard to report if it indicates an apparent contravention of the Act and determine whether or not legal proceedings should be commenced against the candidate or registered third party. Consider reports submitted by the Clerk where it appears a contributor exceeded the contribution limit and make decisions with regard to such reports. Joint Clerk’s Role: Acts as secretary to the compliance audit committee (for responding municipality) Establishes stipend for committee Recruits and appoints committee members. Trains committee members Establishes administrative practices and procedures Ensures a process is in place for the selection and appointment of an auditor Ensures legal representation is available to the committee Reviews and reports on each contributor that may have exceeded contribution limits FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The terms of reference include a retainer of $300.00 for each member (including training and mileage), and a per diem rate of $200.00 per meeting, plus mileage, at the rate of the responding municipality requiring the services of the Committee. A cost savings will be achieved with the retainer costs being shared among the Joint Participants while the per diem and mileage costs will be borne by the responding Page 174 of 827 4 CD – 2018-05 June 19, 2018 municipality. The proposed rates are in the middle of the range of regions/municipalities surveyed for 2018. Any auditor or legal costs incurred with a compliance audit application will be the responsibility of the responding municipality. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Organizational Effectiveness and Efficiency: Ensure that governance structures are appropriate and effective. The committee is a good example of the Niagara Region, LAMs and School Boards all working together to achieve efficiencies and cost savings.

Page 181 of 827 F-2018-22 June 19, 2018 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2018-22 Monthly Tax Receivables Report – April 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 April 30, 2018 were $25.5 million compared to $25.8 million in 2017. During April, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed decreased from 29.5% in 2017 to 28.6% in 2018. The City’s finance staff has begun the collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2018. At this stage 77.9% of properties have developed payment arrangements or have paid in full. There are currently thirteen 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 2018 improved during the month of April. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at April 30, 2018 are $25.5 million. This represents a decrease from $25.8 million in arrears for the same period in 2017. 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 slightly from a year ago, whereas the residential property class has increased slightly. 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, 2018, 249 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after four months of activity. This table shows 77.9% of the tax accounts Page 182 of 827 2 F-2018-22 June 19, 2018 or 194 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During April, eight accounts were paid in full. In addition, the number of accounts with suitable payment arrangements including full payments increased from 75.5% (March) to 77.9% (April). 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 April, there were no changes to the number of registered properties. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.00% 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 April 30, 2018 is 28.6% which is a decrease from 2017's value of 29.5%. 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: Finance SUBJECT: F-2018-24 Municipal Accounts RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the municipal accounts totaling $41,564,303.90 for the period April 5, 2018 to May 30, 2018. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The accounts have been reviewed by the Director of Finance and the by-law authorizing payment is listed on tonight’s Council agenda. Recommended by: Tiffany Clark, Acting Director of Finance Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 209 of 827 F-2018-25 June 19, 2018 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2018-25 2018 Schedule of Fees for Services RECOMMENDATION That the Schedule of Fees as presented in the attached schedule, be approved effective July 1, 2018. 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 amounts charged are reflective of the objectives of the responsible department and corporation. The attached list requires Council approval. The effective date of the new fees will be July 1, 2018, except where otherwise applicable. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL 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 2018 user fee booklet will be completed and published by the Finance Department once the list of fees are approved. Changes in respect to the individual user fees for 2019 will be considered as an integral part of the 2019 Budget process.

Staff are providing this report to identify for Council that the applications for both rebate programs will be available July 3, 2018 and similar to last year, the application period will end October 31, 2018. Applications for both rebates are available at City Hall, MacBain Centre or online. BACKGROUND Included in the 2018 Municipal Utility Budget, is an amount for the Low Income Seniors’ Water Rebate for the 2018 year. This rebate provides qualifying seniors a rebate of $100. To qualify for this rebate, a senior must have a municipal water account with the City of Niagara Falls and be a recipient of the Guaranteed Income Supplement. The purpose of the grant is to offset some of the increases in water and wastewater charges. Similarly, in 2011, Council approved a low income seniors’ property tax rebate. Qualified applicants for the Property Tax Grant would be any property owner who receives the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement, owns a primary residence in Niagara Falls and is a senior. City staff will take applications from residents that may qualify for either program starting July 3, 2018. Applications are available at City Hall and at the customer service office at the MacBain Centre. The City will be notifying the general public through the upcoming water and sewer bills, as well as through newspaper advertising. Page 242 of 827 2 F-2018-26 June 19, 2018 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The budget impacts of each program is different. The Low Income Senior’s Water Rebate impacts the Municipal Utility Budget and the expenditure is included in the rates to all users. The budget expenditure included in the 2017 Utility budget is $65,000. In 2017 the cost was $78,960. Alternatively, the Low Income Property Tax Rebate impacts the General Purposes Budget. The budget expenditure included in the 2017 General Purposes budget is $16,000 and the actual cost was $30,895.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Legal Services SUBJECT: L-2018-06 Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation and the City Amendment of Development Agreement Our File No. 2016-125 RECOMMENDATION 1. That the City enter into an Development Agreement Amending Agreement , in a form satisfactory to the City Solicitor and the Director of Planning, Building and Development, with the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, in order to accommodate the new pedestrian bridge across Fallsview Boulevard. 2. That the Mayor, Acting City Clerk and City Solicitor be directed to take whatever actions and sign whatever documents are required to com plete the Agreement. BACKGROUND Ontario Lottery and Gaming is a Crown Corporation. As such, it does not have to comply with the City’s zoning by-laws. Accordingly, the form and dimensions of the Fallsview Casino are governed by an agreement. The agreement is called the Fallsview Casino Development Agreement. The new theatre required a pedestrian bridge to be installed over Fallsview Boulevard. The new pedestrian bridge changes the configuration of the Fallsview Casino and, thus, the Fallsview Casino Development Agreement will have to be amended to record and govern the dimensions and location of the pedestrian bridge. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The theatre is a welcome addition to the attractions available in Niagara Falls. The agreement provides Council with some degree of control over future modifications and additions to the Fallsview Casino. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed transaction is in keeping with Council’s commitment to financial sustainability, customer service excellence, organizational efficiency and effectiveness, Page 244 of 827 2 L-2018-06 June 19, 2018 and the creation of a well-planned City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2018-10 Culp Street Road Reconstruction Project Update (Corwin Avenue to Franklin Avenue) RECOMMENDATION That Council confirm inclusion of the new sidewalk on south side of the Culp Street, between Corwin Avenue and Carlton Avenue, as part of the scope of this road reconstruction project. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In response to the recent construction funding approval for the Culp Street reconstruction, staff tendered the construction in May 2018. The low bidder was Alfidome Construction, with the total contract amount of $1,267,091.04, including road reconstruction, and watermain and sanitary sewer replacement. As part of the public consultation process, requests have been received from residents to defer the construction of new sidewalk on the south side of Culp Street. The new sidewalk on Culp Street was included in the design in order to provide pedestrian traffic connectivity, address safety and liability concerns adjacent to the school and City parkland. The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s confirmation to include the new sidewalk in scope of this road reconstruction project. The new sidewalk is proposed to be curb - faced, with no impact on existing street trees but will impact existing driveways on the south side. BACKGROUND The pavement deterioration on Culp Street has degraded to the point where any maintenance work will not be cost effective. Given its infrastructure age and poor condition, the best solution is to replace the watermain and sanitary sewer at the same time of the road reconstruction. Concerns have also been expressed on the parking lot at AG Bridge Park. The parking lot is designated for parents to drop-off and pick-up students at the Princess Margaret Public School, as well as parking for patron s using Page 246 of 827 2 MW-2018-10 June 19, 2018 the City’s park. Resurfacing and paving of the parking lot is included in the project scope. Residents submitted a petition to City Council, dated February 27, 2018, “requesting that the Council include in the 2018 Capital Budget full funding of $1.7million Dollars to complete the Culp Street Infrastructure Project”. At the Council Meeting in May 2018, the construction funding was approved by the City Council. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Typically, sidewalks are required adjacent public, recreation or walkway systems. Sidewalks are generally placed with considerations for connectivity to public parkland pathway and trail systems. The subject neighbourhood is mostly equipped with sidewalks on both sides of the streets. The proposed new sidewalk will connect the missing segment of sidewalks in the area. The sidewalk fronting a City’s park will further help to limit the City’s liability for pedestrian safety in the roadway and parkland uses. The Princess Margaret Public School and Niagara District School Board are in support of the sidewalks to improve walkability within neighbourhoods. A sidewalk map and the school board letter are enclosed in Attachment 2. A previous Council Report is also attached to provide the historic content of this issue. Currently, there are sidewalks on the north side of Culp Street between Corwin Avenue to Franklin Avenue. The existing sidewalk on south side of Culp Street extends from Franklin Avenue and terminates at Carlton Avenue. As a result, pedestrians are required to cross to the north side of Culp Street to continuing westbound on a sidewalk. The intersection of Culp Street at Carlton Avenue is supervised by a School Cross Guard at school arrival and dismissal periods. During the remainder of the day, pedestrians must cross Culp Street at uncontrolled locations. There is evidence and observation that pedestrians are walking on the paved road fronting the City’s park, to access the school and sidewalk east of Carlton Ave nue. Transportation Services has recently collected traffic data on Culp Street. Attachment 4 provides the most recent traffic counts for the study area. The following provide a summary of the traffic data: The City of Niagara Falls Residential All-Way Stop Warrant was completed to determine whether an all-way stop control is warrant at the intersection of Culp Street at Carlton Avenue. The technical results revealed that an all-way stop is not warranted at this intersection; A total of 198 pedestrians were observed crossing at the intersection of Culp Street at Carlton Avenue during the 8-hour study period. Eight (8) pedestrians crossed the south intersection approach and originated from or proceeded to the west where a sidewalk is not provided; The average daily traffic (ADT) on Culp Street is approximately 650 vehicles per day (Typically, 440 vehicles per day during the weekend, 780 vehicles per day during the weekday); Page 247 of 827 3 MW-2018-10 June 19, 2018 Peak hour traffic volumes are generally below 120 vehicles; and The average vehicular operating speed is 49 km/h. A residents’ survey was conducted regarding the proposed new sidewalk. Homeowners at seventeen (17) properties provided feedback on the questionnaire. Three (3) are in favour of the new sidewalk installation, while fourteen (14) properties are not in favour. The not-in-favour responses expressed concerns on possible conflicts between the new sidewalk and existing street trees; as well as preference to apply project funding on road structure instead of sidewalks. Six out of the fourteen not-in-favour properties are outside the project area (located beyond thirty metres of the construction zone). FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The total construction cost is $1,267,091.04 by the low bidder. The approved construction funding is $1,700,000. Adequate funding is available, including the new sidewalk on south side of Culp Street. The cost to construct the new sidewalk at this time is approximately $7,000. The cost will be significantly higher if the new sidewalk construction is to be carried out at a future time as an individual project. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Implementation of this capital project meets the intent of Council’s Strategic Priorities to establish infrastructure investment priorities, and to establish a healthy and safe community.

Eng Project Manager, Municipal Works City of Niagara Falls P.O. Box 1023 Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 Dear Ms Zhang: Re: Culp Street Road Reconstruction, Watermain and Sanitary Replacements From Corwin Ave to Franklin Ave Culp Street Sidewalk on South Side of the Road Thank you for circulating the District School Board of Niagara (DSBN) the above notice regarding the Culp Street Municipal Class Environmental Assessment project. The project will involve the reconstruction of the road and replacement of the watermain, sanitary sewer and all appurtenances on Culp Street between Corwin Avenue and Franklin Avenue; a proposed new sidewalk on the south side of Culp Street to complete the connection to Corwin Avenue; and the re-grading and resurfacing of the parking lot at A.G. Bridge Park. In addition, the City’s Transportation Engineering department requested the portion of Culp Street in front of Princess Margaret PS be redesigned to include a bus setback area (lay-by) to accommodate a bus loading zone. Princess Margaret PS is located immediately to the east of A.G. Bridge Park. The Board has an existing lease agreement with the City for the use of the parking lot at A.G. Bridge Park during school hours for the purposes of student drop off/pick up. The proposed resurfacing of the parking lot would be an improvement over the existing gravel surface and help with maintenance. The Board is supportive of efforts to improve walkability within neighbourhoods. Accordingly, we have no objections to the construction of the sidewalk. Niagara Student Transportation Services (NSTS) is the consortium that provides student transportation services on behalf of the DSBN. NSTS has reviewed the information and drawings submitted for the proposed Culp Street project, and has advised there are advantages to the proposed design for the bus lay-by in front of Princess Margaret PS. The setback will keep buses off the traveled portion of the road allowing for better traffic movement, better sight lines for the crossing guard, and separation of buses from parent vehicular traffic. NSTS notes the design will result in the parking lot accesses being blocked by buses but this can be managed through school administration. DSBN staff request that the three existing parking lot accesses be maintained (i.e. via curb cuts) in the proposed bus lay-by design. Having completed our review, the DSBN has no objections to the proposed Culp Street Road Reconstruction project. We would request, however, that the new road design maintain all existing Page 251 of 827 parking lot accesses and that the City make every effort to schedule construction works during the summer months when the school is not operating.

Diodati and Members of the Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Municipal Works SUBJECT: MW-2018-15 Emergency Third Avenue Sewer Replacement Jepson Street to McRae Street RECOMMENDATION 1. That Council direct staff to commence engineering investigations to develop a solution to the collapsed sewer on Third Avenue and, 2. That the 2018 Capital Budget be amended to include funding to support this investigation. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City staff recently discovered that the existing combined sewer on Third Avenue from McRae Street to Jepson Street is in extremely poor condition, with catastro phic failure imminent. In order to provide a timely solution and mitigate disruption to service, Municipal Works staff request funding in the amount of $100,000 to begin investigative work and to retain the services of an Engineering Consultant. The intent is to develop a detailed engineering design to reconstruct this failing section of sewer on Third Avenue which is considered to be beyond repair. City Staff will report back to Council to request funding for the project once the scope of the work is more accurately defined. BACKGROUND On May 22nd, 2018 City Operations staff responded to a report of a sink-hole in the roadway on Third Avenue between McRae Street and Jepson Street. Further investigation revealed that the sinkhole developed directly above the existing combined sewer on the street. CCTV inspection of the sewer was then completed and the report was received on June 5th. The inspection report identified major failure points throughout approximately 90m of the 125m segment of sewer. Some areas were observed to be on the verge of collapsing while others showed missing or already collapsed sections. Page 259 of 827 June 19, 2018 - 2 - MW-2018-15 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE In order to reduce the risk of potential sewer back-ups in this area, it is recommended to authorize funding for the engineering design work that will be necessary to provide a timely solution. Once the engineering design work has been completed, staff will report back to Council to request the anticipated construction funding. Upon approval of the construction funding, the project would then be tendered and awarded to the lowest bidder. At this time, staff recommends amending the 2018 capital budget to include $100,000 for the proposed detailed engineering design and geotechnical investigative work. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS This project is being commissioned in response to an unexpected situation and as such, dedicated funding is not included in the 2018 Capital Budget. Staff recommends that the capital budget be amended to include $100,000 to begin the necessary detailed engineering design work for this project. Further funding for the construction of a new sewer would be requested under a separate report to Council once the anticipated costs are known. It is recommended that this project be funded from the Capital Special Purpose Reserve – Sewer account. There is sufficient funding available to fund this project. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The recommendations in this report are consistent with Council’s Strategic Priority to achieve the goal of infrastructure sustainability. LIST OF ATTACHMENTS 1.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-34 PLC-2018-001, Request for Removal of Part Lot Control Blocks 77- 83 (inclusive), Plan 59M-441 Warren Woods Phase 4 Stage 2 Plan of Subdivision Applicant: GP Empire Communities (Niagara) Ltd. RECOMMENDATIONS That Council approve the request and pass the by-law included in tonight’s agenda to designate Blocks 77-83 (inclusive), Registered Plan 59M-441, as exempt from Part Lot Control for a period of two years. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GP Empire Communities (Niagara) Ltd. has requested that Council pass a by-law to exempt the subject lands from being subject to Part Lot Control to allow the transfer of ownership of future on-street 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 and blocks are located within a registered subdivision; The zoning permits the proposed parcel sizes; and The by-law will permit a deed to be created for each parcel containing a dwelling unit and permit each property to be sold. BACKGROUND GP Empire Communities (Niagara) Ltd. has submitted a request to have Part Lot Control lifted from seven blocks (77-83 inclusive) in Registered Plan 59M-441 within the Warren Woods Phase 4 Stage 2 plan of subdivision. The subject lands are shaded on Schedule 1. The removal of Part Lot Control is a planning tool that is intended to allow minor boundary adjustments to blocks within registered plans of subdivision. In this case, the removal of Part Lot Control is requested to allow the creation of a total of 39 parcels for 39 on-street townhouse dwelling units (Blocks 77-83 (inclusive)). Refer to Schedule 2, for further details. Page 264 of 827 2 PBD-2018-34 June 19, 2018 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The subject lands are located within the Warren Woods Phase 4 Stage 2 plan of subdivision (59M-441) which was registered on August 31, 2017. The subdivision contains a mix of lots for single detached dwellings and blocks of land for on-street townhouse dwellings. The subject lands are zoned Residential Mixed (R3 -1036) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2017-03. The proposed parcels comply with the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements of the zoning by-law. The covered porch for the townhouse dwelling shown hatched on Part 1, Block 83 on Schedule 3 projects 0.35 metres into the required exterior side yard. The Zoning By- law No. 79-200 does not allow covered porch to project into the required exterior side yard. To address the zoning issue the applicant will be submitting a minor variance application to the Committee of Adjustment. 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 blocks from Part Lot Control to allow lot lines to be reconfigured or part of a block to be conveyed without a consent. Approval of a Part Lot Control by-law is requested so that each unit in the on-street townhouse dwelling can be sold with its own parcel of land. Part Lot Control has been requested to be lifted for two years to allow for flexibility in scheduling real estate closing dates and to consider market absorption of the units. This time period should be sufficient time to allow units to be absorbed by the market. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS As Development Charges have already been collected, there are no financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Council’s priority is to strengthen and promote economic development in the City. The application is consistent with this priority.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-35 DB-2018-002 Deeming By-law Application Lots 1-7 and Lot A, Plan 300 Properties known as 5629-5641 Stanley Avenue, 5615 Stanley Avenue, 5510 North Street and 5511 Emery Street Applicant: 1771069 Ontario Inc. RECOMMENDATION That Council pass the by-law appearing on tonight’s agenda to deem Lots 1-7 and Lot A, Plan 300, to no longer be within the registered plan of subdivision, to enable them to merge. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1771069 Ontario Inc. has requested that Council pass a deeming by-law under the Planning Act for Lots 1-7 and Lot A on Plan 300, so that they will no longer be within the registered plan of subdivision. This will allow the lands to merge and become one parcel. The lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200 as amended, which would permit the addition of a retail store and take-out restaurant to the gas bar. The former Gales Gar Bar was developed over lot lines out of conformity with the Zoning By-law. The merger of the lands will correct this condition and allow the lands to be further developed as one parcel. The necessary deeming by-law is included in tonight’s agenda. BACKGROUND Proposal 1771069 Ontario Inc. has requested Council to pass a by-law to deem Lots 1-7 and Lot A, Plan 300, to no longer be within the registered plan of subdivision. The subject lots are located on the west side of Stanley Avenue and are partially developed with a gas bar and a small sightseeing tourist information centre. Refer to Schedule 1 for the location of the lands. A deeming by-law passed under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act removes the special status granted to lots in a registered plan of subdivision. This allows lots to merge and be developed as one parcel. A site plan application is concurrently being reviewed by staff for the addition of a retail store and take-out restaurant to the gas bar. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1771069 Ontario proposes to construct a retail store and take-out restaurant addition to the existing gas bar and sightseeing tourist information centre. Refer to Schedule 2 for the site plan proposal. Through the pre-consultation process for the site plan application it came to light that the existing gas bar, canopy and the small sightseeing tourist information centre are developed over parts of Lots 1-7 and Lot A which are full lots on a plan of subdivision. Refer to Schedule 3 for further detail. Page 269 of 827 2 PBD-2018-35 June 19, 2018 The subject lands are zoned Tourist Commercial (TC) in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended, which allows the use of a gas bar, retail store, restaurant and sightseeing tourist information centre. The properties were developed as the former Gales Gas Bar with a gas bar and canopy on individual lots in accordance with the plan of subdivision. The proposed new retail store and take-out restaurant will replace the existing gas bar. Although the lands are now used as one parcel, the original lots were never legally merged. This creates zoning issues as the new take-out restaurant, retail store, the existing canopy and the small sightseeing information centre straddle the lot lines and the provision of required parking for the different uses are technically affected. A deeming by-law passed under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act removes the special status granted to lots in a registered plan of subdivision. Passing the requested deeming by-law and its registration will allow the legal merger of the lots. This will eliminate the issues of the new restaurant, retail store, the existing canopy and the small information centre being on more than one lot. The passing of the requested deeming by-law and its registration will allow the legal merger of the subject lands. Once merged, the subject property will meet the regulatory provisions of the Zoning By-law. The issuance of a Building Permit can occur once the site plan agreement is registered. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Future development on the lands will be subject to applicable Development Charges and Park Land Dedication. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposal supports Council’s strategic priority of strengthening and promoting economic development in the City.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2018-36 26CD-11-2018-02, Proposed Plan of Condominium (Standard) 4311 Mann Street Applicant: George Sinclair Construction Group Ltd. Agent: James Warren (T. Johns Consulting Group Ltd.) RECOMMENDATION 1. That the Plan of Condominium be draft approved subject to the conditions in Appendix 1. 2. That the Mayor or designate be authorized to sign the draft plan as “Approved” 20 days after notice of Council’s decision has been given as required by the Planning Act, provided no appeals of the decision have been lodged. 3. That draft approval be given for three years, after which approval will lapse unless an extension is requested by the developer and granted by Council. 4. That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the Condominium Agreement and any required documents to allow for the future registration of the condominium when all matters are addressed to the satisfaction of the City Solicitor. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY George Sinclair Construction Group Ltd. is proposing to develop a 1.82 ha parcel of land located at 4311 Mann Street, as a Standard Plan of Condominium. The condominium will divide the land into 45 units of land with a common private road, visitor parking and amenity areas (parkette). The condominium will allow the individual ownership of the townhouse dwelling units. A site plan agreement was registered for the development on May 11, 2018 which has enabled the applicant to obtain Building Permits and start construction. Planning The condominium application is supported for the following reasons: The development complies with Provincial policies and conforms with the Growth Plan with respect to the effectiveness of land and achieves the minimum density targets in designated Greenfield Areas. The development is in conformity with the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended and varied and, will be compatible with the surrounding development. The Plan of Condominium will allow individual ownership of the dwelling units. Page 274 of 827 2 PBD-2018-36 June 19, 2018 City and Regional interests will be addressed through the fulfillment of the conditions contained in Appendix A. BACKGROUND Proposal The applicant has applied for a Standard Plan of Condominium on the 1.82 hectare (4.50 acre) parcel of land known as 4311 Mann Street. Refer to Schedule 1 for the location of the parcel. A site plan agreement was registered on the lands for the development on May 11, 2018. The standard plan of condominium will permit individual ownership of the 45 townhouse dwelling units. The private driveway, visitor parking area, and the amenity areas (parkette) will be owned in common by the condominium. Schedule 2 illustrates the layout of the project. Schedule 3 shows a typical elevation of the proposed units. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara No objections, subject to meeting the conditions listed in Appendix 1. Transportation No objections, subject to meeting the conditions listed in Appendix 1. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE 1. Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan The subject lands are located within a Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and designated Greenfield under the 2017 Places to Grow Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). The PPS guides the Settlement Areas and encourages the efficient use of land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities that are planned or available. The Growth Plan contains policies that call for development in Greenfield areas to be planned, designated , zoned and designed in a manner that supports the achievement of complete communities, support active transportation and encourages the integration and sustained viability of transit services. The Growth Plan provides direction for minimum density target for designated Greenfield Areas (53 residents and jobs per hectare for Niagara). The proposed development will yield a density of 62.9 persons and jobs per hectare based on the 45 townhouse dwelling units and a lot area of 1.82 hectares. The development is an efficient use of Urban land and exceeds the minimum density target and conforms to the Growth Plan. Page 275 of 827 3 PBD-2018-36 June 19, 2018 2. Official Plan The subject land is designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan and is located in the Greenfield Area. The target density of development in the Greenfield Area shall not be less than 53 people and jobs per hectare. The proposed development conforms to the Official Plan as follows: - The proposed development exceeds the density target at 62.9 persons and jobs per hectare. - The proposed development will be compatible with the multiple forms of housing from the adjacent neighbourhoods. 3. Zoning By-law The subject lands are zoned Residential Low Density, Grouped Multiple Dwellings (R4) by Zoning By-law No. 79-200, as amended by By-law No. 2006-205, and by By- law No. 2015-21. A Minor Variance (A-2017-030) was granted by the Committee of Adjustment, on August 29, 2017, to reduce the required front yard depth of the townhouses to 5 metres. Sufficient water, sanitary and stormwater servicing capacity was available and approvals were received from the City, the Region and the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE). The Holding (H) symbol was removed from the Zoning By-law so that the townhouse dwellings could proceed. The development conforms to applicable zoning regulations of the R4 zone, the site specific zoning by-law and the minor variance. There are 11 visitor parking spaces provided on site. 4. Condominium Design and Conditions of Approval The plan of condominium will accommodate the intended division of the land into vacant units of land that can be owned separately. The plan includes a private common road off of Mann Street, visitor parking and amenity area (parkette). The built form and height of the proposed dwellings will be compatible with the surrounding dwellings. The developer will be required to enter into a condominium agreement with the City. The agreement will address any necessary works and warning clauses. Site plan approval was granted on April 5, 2018 and the site plan agreement registered on May 11, 2018. The applicant will be applying for Building Permits after registering site plan agreement. The City is holding a Letter of Credit (LOC) to ensure compliance with the Site Plan Agreement. The LOC will not be released until all the above ground site serving and landscape works are completed to the City’s satisfaction. To ensure site works are completed when ownership is transferred to a condominium corporation, Staff recommend the inclusion of a condition requiring substantial completion and certification of these site works prior to final plan approval. Page 276 of 827 4 PBD-2018-36 June 19, 2018 The majority of the standard development issues, including above ground servicing and grading, transportation and landscaping have been addressed in the site plan agreement. Appendix A includes the recommended conditions of approval from City’s Transportation Services, City’s Park Design, Canada Post, Enbridge Gas, Niagara Region, and provision of any necessary easements with a final review to confirm zoning and site plan compliance prior to registration of the condominium. Under Provincial regulations, public notice and the holding of a public meeting are not required prior to Council approving a Standard Plan of Condominium. Matters of public interest were addressed at the zoning approval stage. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The proposed condominium will generate revenue through property taxes. There are no other financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The proposed condominium is part of a well-planned City as envisioned by the City’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law as a complete community.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2018-05 GNBA Ladies Auxiliary Concession Agreement RECOMMENDATION 1. That the City enter into an Agreement with the Greater Niagara Baseball Association (GNBA) Ladies Auxiliary to obtain concession privileges to sell food and refreshments at Oakes Park, M.F. Kerr Park and W.L Houck Park concession buildings, April 15 to October 1 for a term of five years. 2. That the Mayor and Clerk be authorized to execute said Licence Agreement. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The GNBA Ladies Auxiliary has operated the concession buildings during the baseball season at Oakes Park, M.F. Kerr Park and W.L Houck Park for over 40 years. All profits from the concession are devoted exclusively to the operations of GNBA. The group has the sole and exclusive right to sell refreshments from the concession stand during all park rentals and special events. BACKGROUND The City and the GNBA Ladies Auxiliary have entered into several agreements over the last 40 years. The current agree ment outlines the term of the agreement (5 years), duties of the Concessionaire, permitted use of the concession and liability/insurance requirements. Recreation & Culture staff met on two occasions to review and discuss terms with the executive members. Based on the member’s feedback, a few items were revised. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The City has a long standing relationship with the GNBA and the GNBA Ladies Auxiliary at W. L. Houck, Oakes and M.F. Kerr Park. The Ladies Auxiliary is a committed team of volunteers that provide excellent service at the three parks for visitors, spectators and participants. Page 284 of 827 2 R&C-2018-05 June 19, 2018 FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS GNBA Ladies Auxiliary will provide the required five million dollar commercial liability insurance as required in the current agreement. No staffing or financial implications. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The agreement with GNBA Ladies Auxiliary to operate the listed park concessions is in keeping with its Strategic Plan for the provision of Recreation & Culture and the vision of A Vibrant and Well planned City. Recommended by: Kathy Moldenhauer, Director of Recreation and Culture Respectfully submitted: Ken Todd, Chief Administrative Officer Page 285 of 827 R&C-2018-12 June 19, 2018 REPORT TO: Mayor James M. Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Recreation & Culture SUBJECT: R&C-2018-12 Recognition of Stamford Township RECOMMENDATION 1. That staff replace the Stamford Green sign to acknowledge the historic identity of Stamford Township. 2. That this project be referred to the 2019 budget process for consideration. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In February 2017, Bill Irvine forwarded a letter to Council. Mr. Irvine’s concern was that “the Stamford Township name would be extinct” if formal recognition was not brought forward. As a result, he would like to see recognition “in some way at or near its’ original perimeters.” Several departments have examined this request and understand the wishes of Mr. Irvine. The historical nature of this name is an important aspect to our history here in Niagara Falls, as the former township boundaries encompass much of present day Niagara Falls (Figure 1). At the present time, staff feel that a gateway feature would not be possible, as there are so many entry points, however, believe that the symbolic area of Stamford Green certainly is what many people believe is at the core of historic Stamford. The city park sign on Stamford Green is in need of repair and city staff will add mention of Stamford Township when the sign is refurbished. BACKGROUND The current city boundaries of Niagara Falls have had many different names and recognition of names throughout the years. One of the larger former names of a large portion of the current City is Stamford Township. As one can see in Figure 1, a large portion of the northern portion of the City of Niagara Falls is what was once called Stamford Township. The Niagara Falls History Museum currently resides in what was formerly the Stamford Township Hall (built 1874). Page 286 of 827 2 R&C-2018-12 June 19, 2018 Figure 1 – Map of Stamford Township 1880 The township amalgamated with the City of Niagara Falls in 1963. Mr. Irvine wrote to Council to ensure that the name of Stamford does not disappear. As a result of this letter, City staff examined the ways that Stamford is currently represented. From Stamford Collegiate to the plaque in front of the History Museum there are several ways that the name is currently recognized. Page 287 of 827 3 R&C-2018-12 June 19, 2018 Staff also examined current signage around the City of Niagara Falls and identified that the park sign at Stamford Green could be redesigned to incorporate the former township. The proposed new wording for the sign in Attachment #1 will be: Welcome to former Township of Stamford and the Historic Stamford Green Held in Trust by the Stamford Green Committee established in 1909 And Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2000. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE The Stamford Green Park sign is at the heart of what people identify as Stamford and has a high visibility location. Staff believes that this is an ideal location for this recognition. The use of technology meets the Smart City initiative currently in development and can utilize content and resources already completed by Museum and Planning staff. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The refurbishment of the sign will be covered by Municipal Works –Parks budget as part of required maintenance of the park sign. Approximate cost to replace the sign is $1,500.00. If a different style of park sign is created the sign cost will be hig her. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT The City of Niagara Falls is committed to building and promoting a vibrant, sustainable city that supports an active, connected, and creative community. Through recognizing and understand the heritage of our community, the people who live and visit our community will identify with the significance of the City of Niagara Falls in their own identity.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2018-16 Dyson Avenue – Heavy Vehicle Restriction RECOMMENDATION That a heavy vehicle prohibition is established on Dyson Avenue between Ferguson Street and Leader Lane. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A heavy vehicle restriction is warranted on Dyson Avenue between Ferguson Street and Leader Lane to eliminate it from being used erroneously by transport truck drivers departing the area from the nearby industrial site. BACKGROUND Observations were carried out to address concerns from an area resident that heavy vehicle drivers are utilizing Dyson Avenue to exit the neighbourhood after leaving the industrial site on the southwest corner of Ferguson Street and Dyson Avenue. The homeowner that initiated the request noted that on two previous occasions, trucks that proceeded north on Dyson Avenue have damaged low hanging electrical wires that extend across the road. Further, the turning radius at Leader Lane is inadequate for a driver of a transport truck to make a left turn. Several parallel roads have heavy vehicle prohibitions in place to prevent trucks from entering the road segment, in addition, Leader Lane is prohibited to heavy vehicles. Dyson Avenue extends two blocks from Buttrey Street to Leader Lane. Dyson Avenue between Buttrey Street and Ferguson Street is flanked by industrial uses, while between Ferguson Street and Leader Lane, it comprises exclusively of single family dwellings. Page 290 of 827 2 TS-2018-16 June 19, 2018 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE A heavy vehicle prohibition is recommended on Dyson Avenue between Ferguson Street and Leader Lane to mitigate instances of heavy vehicles on the residential roadway. Truck drivers can exit the area by turning left on Ferguson Street to reach Victoria Avenue. Both intersections can accommodate turns by large transport trucks. The proposed restriction will not apply to school buses, emergency vehicles or delivery vehicles that have a destination on Dyson Avenue. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS The installation of the No Heavy Vehicles signs is to be carried out by Transportation Services staff. The labour costs are accounted for in the 2018 General Purposes Budget. Studies estimate that the cost to install the signs is approximately $600. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Encourage multi-modal travel and active transportation initiatives, and enhance motorist, cyclist and pedestrian safety. LIST OF ATTACHMENT Study area drawing.

Key Facts State of Aggregate Resources in Niagara Region Technical Addendum Report Council for information. This report and attachments are part of the aggregate resources work program for the new Regional Official Plan. Aggregate resources were identified in PDS 41-2017 as one of the eight priority background studies. The attached State of Aggregate Resources in Niagara Region previously brought to Committee and Council for information in November 2015 and January 2016, and attached as Appendix 2. Consultation was undertaken with the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and industry stakeholders in the preparation of the Technical Addendum. The next step in the aggregate resources work program will be policy development. The policy development phase will include a public and stakeholder consultation program. The aggregate policies will be endorsed by Council. The policies will form part of the new Official Plan which will be adopted by Council as a single document. Page 321 of 827 PDS 12-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ Financial Considerations The costs associated with the aggregate resources work program, including the development of the State of Aggregate Resources in Niagara Region Technical can be accommodated within the Council approved Regional Official Plan project budget. Analysis Background / History The following provides a history of the Niagara Region aggregate resources policy project: Niagara Region initiated an aggregates resources policy project in 2014 as part -year update of the Official Plan. At that time a Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA)was proposed. The project at that time known as ROPA 8 was initiated through PDS 3-2014. The background study completed to inform the project was the Aggregate Resources in Niagara R Report was brought for information to Committee and Council in November 2015 and January 2016.(PDS 40-2015). Minor changes were made to the Background Report through PDS-C 3-2016. An office consolidation of the report dated January 2016 is attached as Appendix 2. The project did not move directly into the policy development phase. As the policy development process for aggregates was being reinitiated,the Region began a process to prepare a new Regional Official Plan (PDS 40-2016). The approved approach was to prepare a new Regional Official Plan from start to finish rather than a number of topic-specific amendments to the existing plan. T resources policy project is now to prepare policies for the new Regional Official Plan. A topic specific Regional Official Plan Amendment (i.e. ROPA 8) is no longer proposed;although the previously completed Background Report will continue to provide much of the direction for the policy development process. Since the time the Background Report was brought forward for information,there have been changes to the Provincial Plans (i.e. Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, and Niagara Escarpment Plan)and Aggregate Resources Act as well as the introduction of Bill 139.It was determined that a Technical Addendum document to summarize the recent legislative changes was required before the new Official Plan policies could be drafted. Page 322 of 827 PDS 12-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ Technical Advisory Group During the preparation of the Background Report a technical advisory group (TAG) was formed to provide input on the aggregate project. The TAG included representation from the local municipalities, Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, Niagara Escarpment Commission, Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, as well as the Ontario Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (OSSGA)which is the Provincial industry association for aggregate producers and services. The TAG has been reengaged and provided input on the Technical Addendum. In addition to meeting with the TAG in March 2018 Region staff and our consultant also met with the OSSGA in April 2018 to discuss the draft Technical Addendum as well as the policy development phase of the project. Technical Addendum The Technical Addendum (Appendix 1) was prepared by Dillon Consulting and is intended to provide a summary of the legislative changes in response to the updated Provincial Plans, Bill 139, and changes to the Aggregate Resources Act. The Technical Addendum is to be read in conjunction with the 2016 State of Aggregates in Niagara Region:Background Report . Where recommendations of the 2016 Background Report have been changed; this is specifically outlined in the Technical Addendum. All other recommendations of the 2016 Background Report are assumed to remain valid. A summary of the major findings of the Technical Addendum are: The changes to the Aggregate Resources Act have a minimal impact on land use planning and the policies of the Regional Official Plan. Additional policies have been added to the Growth Plan related to aggregate resources. These policies are generally in alignment with what is included in the Greenbelt Plan. Definitions related to aggregate resources have generally been aligned across the PPS and Provincial Plan. There is an increased emphasis on the recycling and reuse of aggregate resources. A draft of the Technical Addendum report was circulated to the TAG. Comments were received and incorporated into the final version of the report. Additional comments were also received related to the overall aggregate resource project. These comments will be considered during the policy development phase. Page 323 of 827 PDS 12-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ Next Steps The next step is policy development. After draft aggregate policies for the new Regional Official Plan are formulated we will be consulting with the Technical Advisory Group (TAG),Planning Advisory Committee (PAC),industry stakeholders, Provincial Ministries, public, and Planning and Economic Development Committee. The aggregate policies will be endorsed by Council. Following the completion of the aggregates work program there will be a process to ensure alignment across all sections of the new Regional Official Plan. Then there will be a statutory public meeting, and the Official Plan will be brought to Council for adoption as a single comprehensive document.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to inform Regional Council of 2017 development application activity in Niagara Region. The total number of applications reviewed by Development Planning and Engineering staff in 2017 increased 8.5% compared to 2016. Pre-consultation meetings with prospective developers and area municipalities increased 21.5% in 2017. Regional Development Services staff satisfied review timeline targets for 95.4% of all circulated applications during 2017. The Region received $832,054 in review fees for development applications in 2017 (11.8% increase over 2016 fees). Financial Considerations There are no direct financial implications associated with this report. The 2018 fee revenue budget is reflective of the increase experienced in 2017. Analysis Development Applications Regional Development Services staff reviewed 730 development applications in 2017 representing an 8.5% increase over the 2016 application total. The Region also provided additional review comments on subsequent revisions to many of these Page 437 of 827 PDS 23-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ applications. Figure 1 illustrates the number of applications considered by Development Planning and Engineering staff from 2013 to 2017 indicating high activity levels and a general upward trend over the past few years.These development applications are circulated to the Region based on Provincial legislation requirements and the existing Memorandum of Understanding among the Region and local area municipalities. Figure 2 provides the breakdown of the development application types reviewed by Regional staff in 2017. The more complex development proposals require multiple planning approvals. As an example, subdivision and condominium applications may also need amendments to the municipal Official Plan and Zoning By-law to facilitate the development. The categories with the most applications considered by Regional staff were Zoning By-law amendments (133), followed by Consent/Severance (113), Draft Plan of Subdivision (78),Site Plan (76) and Minor Variance (73). The distribution of applications circulated to the Region by local area municipalities during 2017 is shown on Figure 3. This information indicates relatively high levels of development activity in several communities. The municipalities with the most applications in the year were Fort Erie (91), Niagara-on-the-Lake (90), Niagara Falls (88), Lincoln (86) and St. Catharines (83). 623 595 577 673 730 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Year Figure 1 -Total Applications (2013-2017) Page 438 of 827 PDS 23-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ 45 113 7 34 73 51 33 20 78 76 67 133 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 Application Type Figure 2 -Total Applications by Type (2017) 91 50 86 88 90 52 27 83 51 15 57 40 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Municipality Figure 3 -Total Applications by Municipality (2017) Page 439 of 827 PDS 23-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ Preconsultation Meetings Development Services staff are scheduled to attend regular Preconsultation meeting sessions two days each month in each local municipal office. These meetings with developers, property owners, local staff and agencies determine complete application submission requirements and assist in the processing of applications. In 2017, Regional staff attended 622 preconsultation meetings which is a 21.5% increase compared to the 2016 total (see Figure 4). This is the most preconsultation meetings attended in a year and continues the upward trend in activity. The number of preconsultation meetings is an indicator of future development applications. Figure 5 illustrates the number of Preconsultation Meetings by municipality in 2017 that involved Regional staff. The municipalities with the highest levels of preconsultation activity were Niagara Falls and West Lincoln (both with 77 meetings each),followed by Welland (76), Niagara-on-the-Lake (67)and Fort Erie (60). 292 369 423 512 622 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Year Figure 4 -Preconsultation Meetings (2013-2017) Page 440 of 827 PDS 23-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 5 ______________________________________________________________________ Application Review Timelines Based on consultation and cooperation with local municipal staff, Regional staff provided review comments satisfying timeline targets for 95.4% of all Development Planning and Engineering applications with due dates in 2017. Figure 6 shows the percentage of applications over the past five years that the Region has met the requested comment period. Timeline response targets for municipal and agency files vary according to application type (complexity) and are established by Planning Act regulations and the current Regional/Local Memorandum of Understanding.Given the increasing volume of applications, the Region consults with municipal staff to establish local priorities and in several cases extensions were granted to initial comment periods. This arrangement allowed for the resolution of issues, submission of additional information where required and addressed workload demands. 60 28 44 77 67 30 40 51 35 37 76 77 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Municipality Figure 5 -Preconsultation Meetings by Municipality (2017) Page 441 of 827 PDS 23-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________ Regional Review Fees Figure 7 summarizes the fees collected between 2013 and 2017 for the Regional review of development applications.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to ogram for the climate change component of the new Official Plan (Appendix 1). The Planning Act identifies climate change as a matter of provincial interest and requires climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in municipal official plans. There are both corporate and community approaches to addressing climate change.The Official Plan is predominantly a community approach, as climate change must be addressed in many different areas of the Official Plan relating to the community at large.However,the Official Plan must also reference certain corporate climate change initiatives relating to municipal facilities and operations. Corporate climate change initiatives are undertaken by various departments at Niagara Region to meet provincial legislative and regulatory requirements. However, there is currently no dedicated unit or staff responsible for the general oversight, coordination or strategic planning for climate change at the Region. Planning and Development Services has engaged the Corporate Leadership Team regarding potential opportunities relating to climate change from the corporate perspective. If climate change is identified as a Council priority for the Page 446 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ next term of Council, there may be a number of opportunities to enhance coordination and strategic oversight for climate change initiatives at the Region. Financial Considerations The completion of the climate change work program for the new Official Plan will require staff resources. These costs can be accommodated within the Council approved Official Plan Project budget. Analysis Mandatory Provincial Direction The existing Official Plan contains basic policies relating to climate change mitigation. Since the policies came into effect, the legislative and policy requirements relating to climate change have evolved considerably. This includes amendments to the Planning Act to identify climate change as a matter of provincial interest and require climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in municipal Official Plans. The Province also released a new provincial land use planning policy framework for climate change. As such, the new Official Plan is required to contain climate change policies that align with the new provincial policy framework.See Appendix 2 for an overview of the existing Official Plan policies and new provincial direction on climate change. Climate Change Framework Planning staff consulted with the Area Planners Group and the Local Area M unicipalities on the development of the climate change framework in early 2018. During these discussions, it was recognized that climate change impacts many different areas of the Official Plan and is an important component of the overall initiative. In addition, it was requested that the Region provide clear direction to the Local Area Municipalities on climate change. See Appendix 3 for an overview of the consultation activities to develop the framework and the input received. The climate change work program will ensure that the new Official Plan aligns with provincial land use planning policy requirements and reflects new research and best practices on climate change mitigation and adaptation. Up-to-date policies will help to protect public health and safety and protect personal property. The climate change work program will include undertaking research, analysis and consultation to develop new climate change policies for the Official Plan. More specifically, the climate change work program will include: 1.A climate change discussion paper 2.Developing and evaluating policy approaches suitable for the Niagara context 3.Developing climate change policies for the Official Plan 4.Considering policies and other tools to support implementation Page 447 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ See Appendix 1 for an overview of the climate change work program and supporting consultation and engagement activities. The Corporate Connection Many municipalities approach climate change on two fronts: corporate and community. Corporate initiatives address municipal facilities and operations, whereas community initiatives generally address broader community-wide matters such as the built environment. While the Official Plan is predominantly a community-based approach to addressing climate change, it will contain references to certain corporate initiatives, as per provincial requirements in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017. The Official Plan work program therefore highlights the need to identify what initiatives Niagara Region as a corporation is undertaking in relation to climate change. It also raises the question of whether Niagara Region may wish to undertake any additional work, beyond minimum provincial requirements, to maximize potential opportunities for the corporation and community residents, businesses and visitors. It is anticipated that the internal Climate Change Working Group for the Official Plan will assist with drawing linkages to corporate initiatives across the organization and drafting appropriate policies for the Official Plan. The Working Group will focus specifically on the work required for the Official Plan, and is not intended to produce a comprehensive understanding of all regional initiatives or any broader strategic plans. On April 19, 2018, Planning and Development Services engaged the Corporate Leadership Team to discuss the Official Plan work program and the corporate connection. Should Niagara Region wish to undertake further work on climate change, beyond minimum provincial requirements, it was suggested that climate change could be considered in the development of the new Council Strategic Plan for 2019-2022. In addition, a range of implementing actions could be taken. Examples include research projects relating to municipal best practices, value for money, return on investment, Examples of Corporate and Community Approaches to Climate Change at Niagara Region Through the Federation of Canadian Protection Program, Niagara Region developed greenhouse gas inventories, forecasts, emissions reduction targets and action plans on both the corporate and community side. These action plans are no longer being monitored and reported on. See Appendix 4 for a summary of the Partners for Climate Protection Program. Based on a preliminary review, examples of other corporate initiatives that may directly or indirectly address climate Conservation and Demand Management Plan 2014-2018 and Asset Management Plan, 2017. Examples of other community Niagara Action Plan, 2012 and the Regional Official Plan. Page 448 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ economic opportunities, etc. Council could also consider developing a longer term corporate climate change strategy (e.g. a 10-15 year strategy) to enhance coordination and strategic direction for climate change initiatives at Niagara Region. Alternatives Reviewed The alternative would be for Committee and Council to not endorse the climate change work program. This is not recommended as the Planning Act requires municipal Official Plans to include climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. Relationship to Council Strategic Priorities The climate change work program is part of the new Regional Official Plan which will Entrepreneurship.

Consultation and Engagement It is anticipated that the climate change policies will be highly integrated throughout the Official Plan. As such, it will be critical to ensure coordination and alignment with other work programs for the Official Plan. In addition, other Regional departments and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority will be engaged and consulted throughout the climate change work program as needed, where their interests and operations may intersect with the Official Plan policies. Page 450 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________ This coordination and alignment will be formalized through the development of an internal Climate Change Working Group with representation from interested/affected Regional departments. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority will also be invited to participate. A mandate and Terms of Reference for the Working Group will be developed as part of the Phase 1 work. In addition, other committees, working groups, etc. will be leveraged to address specific climate change topics at various points throughout the climate change work program. For example, the Technical Advisory Committee for the Natural Environment Work Program for the Official Plan could be engaged to discuss climate change opportunities from a natural heritage perspective. It is anticipated that some of these groups will have representation from the Local Area Municipalities and the Province. To supplement these consultations, the Area Planners Group will be engaged regularly on the climate change work program. This will help to ensure that local issues, opportunities and implementation are adequately considered and reflected, as appropriate, in the development of policy options and implementation tools. Formal consultations will be completed during Phases 3 and 5 of the work program. A range of partners and stakeholders will be engaged during these phases, including but not limited to: Committee and Council Planning Advisory Committee Area Planners Group Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Academic Institutions Agricultural Policy and Action Committee Agricultural Stakeholders Environmental Stakeholders Development Community The Public An Indigenous Engagement Strategy for the Official Plan work program is currently being developed. Consultation and engagement for the climate change work program will be consistent with the overall strategy. Following the completion of the climate change work program there will be a process to ensure alignment across all sections of the new Official Plan. Then there will be a statutory public meeting, and the Official Plan will be brought to Council for adoption as a single comprehensive document. Page 451 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 7 ______________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 2: MANDATORY PROVINCIAL DIRECTION Niagara Region Official Plan The existing Official Plan 7 Natural Environment, as well as other policies throughout the Official Plan that example and demonstrate environmental responsibility through its own operations. The Natural Environment polices were introduced through Amendment 187 to the Official Plan, which was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board on April 16, 2008. The Air Quality and Climate Change policies require the Region to: Develop and implement a plan to reduce GHG emissions from Regional operations by at least 20% below 1994 levels, and emissions from the community as a whole by at least 6% below 1994 levels by 2014 Develop and implement climate change adaptation plans Encourage and support energy conservation, district heating and combined heat and power, and alternative and renewable energy sources Encourage the Federal and Provincial government and Local Area Municipalities to pursue reductions in air pollutants and GHG emissions and to develop and implement climate change adaptation strategies Mandatory Provincial Direction Since the Official Plan policies came into effect, the legislative and policy requirements relating to climate change have evolved considerably. The provincial government released its combating climate change and achieving its GHG reduction targets. The Climate Change Mitigation and Low-Carbon Economy Act, 2016 embedded the GHG reduction targets in a statute, prescribed content that must be included in the provincial climate change action plans, and set out the framework for the cap and trade program in Ontario. -2020 includes specific commitments for meeting the 2020 GHG reduction targets, including actions to support municipal land use planning for low-carbon communities. As part of the CCAP, the Planning Act was amended to identify climate change as a matter of provincial interest and require climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in municipal Official Plans. The Province also released a new provincial land use planning policy framework the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Page 452 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 8 ______________________________________________________________________ 2017, Greenbelt Plan, 2017 and Niagara Escarpment Plan, 2017. The policy framework requires municipalities to address climate change in a variety of ways, including: Building compact, complete communities Assessing infrastructure risks and vulnerabilities Reducing automobile dependence and supporting transit and active transportation Water conservation Stormwater management planning and watershed planning Energy conservation in buildings Supporting renewable and alternative energy Directing development outside of hazardous lands Protecting the natural heritage system and agricultural land base Supporting integrated waste management The Growth Plan encourages municipalities to develop GHG inventories, interim and long-term emission reduction targets, and strategies to reduce emissions and improve resilience. Niagara Region has already completed this work through its participation in the PCP Program mentioned above (the GHG inventories are based on 2006 data). In addition, the Growth Plan requires municipalities to develop Official Plan policies and other strategies for certain municipally owned facilities and operations. Examples include: Energy conservation in municipally owned facilities Air quality improvement through a reduction in emissions from municipal sources Page 453 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 9 ______________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 3: CLIMATE CHANGE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT PDS 7-2018 and PDS 8-2018 presented to the Planning and Economic Development Committee on January 31, 2018 provided an overview of the agriculture and natural environment frameworks, and sought direction to consult with the Area Planners Group and local municipal planning staff toward the development of detailed work programs. Individual one-on-one meetings were held with the Local Area Municipalities between February 1 and 21, 2018. Presentations were also made to the Area Planners Group on January 26, March 16, 2018 and April 27, 2018. These meetings and presentations included specific content on climate change to generate early discussion. During these discussions, climate change was frequently flagged as an important consideration in the development of the agricultural and natural environment work programs, as well as other priority background studies for the Official Plan. Recognizing that climate change impacts many different areas of the Official Plan, it was identified as a significant and important component of the overall initiative. Input received from the Area Planners Group and the Local Area Municipalities relating to climate change focussed on the following themes: The need for clear regional direction on climate change The need to engage with other departments (e.g. Public Works, Public Health) The importance of education on climate change and drawing policy linkages There are a wide range of opportunities in Niagara (e.g. energy conservation in new buildings, GO transit expansion, local transit, stormwater management) Integrating climate change policies throughout the new Official Plan may support local conformity exercises and broader implementation This input provided valuable insight to help shape the climate change work program.

The five milestones are: 1.Create a GHG emissions inventory and forecast 2.Set an emissions reduction target 3.Develop a local action plan 4.Implement the local action plan or a set of activities 5.Monitor progress and report results Many municipalities across Canada participated in the PCP Program, including approximately 80 in Ontario. St. Catharines and Welland also joined the PCP Program. Table 1 Milestone Corporate Community 1 Inventory and Forecast The 2006 Corporate GHG Emissions Inventory measured emissions by the following sectors: buildings, vehicle fleet, traffic signals and beacons, water and wastewater, and corporate waste The business as usual forecast predicted a 40% total annual emission growth by 2021 The 2006 Community GHG Emissions Inventory measured emissions in the following sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and community waste The business as usual forecast predicted a 20.3% total annual emission growth by 2020 2 Target 0% growth from the 2006 baseline by 2016 10-15% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2020 6% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2016 10-15% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2030 3 Action Plan Corporate Climate Change Action Plan completed in 2013 Developed with Corporate Climate Change Steering Committee and informed by paper, Adapting to Climate Community Climate Change Action Plan completed in 2013 Developed with Action Team and extensive community consultation over the course of two years;and informed by Page 455 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 11 ______________________________________________________________________ Milestone Corporate Community Change: Challenges for Niagara Region (June 2012)* paper, Adapting to Climate Change: Challenges for Niagara Region (June 2012)* 4 and 5 Implementation and Monitoring Progress report IPC 22-2014 assessed changes in emissions from 2006 to 2012 and concluded that Niagara Region had already surpassed the target set out in the Corporate Climate Change Action Plan, and was on track to reach the long-term GHG reduction goal of 10-15% by 2020 Progress report IPC 22-2014 noted that no data would be collected on the Community Climate Change Action Plan until 2017, as it required access to a number of external data sources *The action plans were informed by a report that was commissioned to better understand how climate change might impact Niagara. The paper, Adapting to Climate Change: Challenges for Niagara Region, authored by Dr. Jennifer Penney, was released in June 2012. The report describes how climate is changing in the Niagara region, the near-term impacts, climate change activities underway within the region, and gaps that need to be addressed in order to develop and implement adaptation strategies. Planning and Development Services staff understand that the Corporate Climate Change Steering Committee and the Community Action Team have been dissolved, and the action plans are no longer being actively monitored and reported on.

Financial Considerations The completion of the climate change work program for the new Official Plan will require staff resources. These costs can be accommodated within the Council approved Official Plan Project budget. Analysis Mandatory Provincial Direction The existing Official Plan contains basic policies relating to climate change mitigation.

This includes amendments to the Planning Act to identify climate change as a matter of provincial interest and require climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in municipal Official Plans. The Province also released a new provincial land use planning policy framework for climate change. As such, the new Official Plan is required to contain climate change policies that align with the new provincial policy framework.See Appendix 2 for an overview of the existing Official Plan policies and new provincial direction on climate change. Climate Change Framework Planning staff consulted with the Area Planners Group and the Local Area M unicipalities on the development of the climate change framework in early 2018. During these discussions, it was recognized that climate change impacts many different areas of the Official Plan and is an important component of the overall initiative. In addition, it was requested that the Region provide clear direction to the Local Area Municipalities on climate change. See Appendix 3 for an overview of the consultation activities to develop the framework and the input received. The climate change work program will ensure that the new Official Plan aligns with provincial land use planning policy requirements and reflects new research and best practices on climate change mitigation and adaptation. Up-to-date policies will help to protect public health and safety and protect personal property. The climate change work program will include undertaking research, analysis and consultation to develop new climate change policies for the Official Plan. More specifically, the climate change work program will include: 1.A climate change discussion paper 2.Developing and evaluating policy approaches suitable for the Niagara context 3.Developing climate change policies for the Official Plan 4.Considering policies and other tools to support implementation Page 460 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ See Appendix 1 for an overview of the climate change work program and supporting consultation and engagement activities. The Corporate Connection Many municipalities approach climate change on two fronts: corporate and community. Corporate initiatives address municipal facilities and operations, whereas community initiatives generally address broader community-wide matters such as the built environment. While the Official Plan is predominantly a community-based approach to addressing climate change, it will contain references to certain corporate initiatives, as per provincial requirements in the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017. The Official Plan work program therefore highlights the need to identify what initiatives Niagara Region as a corporation is undertaking in relation to climate change. It also raises the question of whether Niagara Region may wish to undertake any additional work, beyond minimum provincial requirements, to maximize potential opportunities for the corporation and community residents, businesses and visitors. It is anticipated that the internal Climate Change Working Group for the Official Plan will assist with drawing linkages to corporate initiatives across the organization and drafting appropriate policies for the Official Plan. The Working Group will focus specifically on the work required for the Official Plan, and is not intended to produce a comprehensive understanding of all regional initiatives or any broader strategic plans. On April 19, 2018, Planning and Development Services engaged the Corporate Leadership Team to discuss the Official Plan work program and the corporate connection. Should Niagara Region wish to undertake further work on climate change, beyond minimum provincial requirements, it was suggested that climate change could be considered in the development of the new Council Strategic Plan for 2019-2022. In addition, a range of implementing actions could be taken. Examples include research projects relating to municipal best practices, value for money, return on investment, Examples of Corporate and Community Approaches to Climate Change at Niagara Region Through the Federation of Canadian Protection Program, Niagara Region developed greenhouse gas inventories, forecasts, emissions reduction targets and action plans on both the corporate and community side.

To supplement these consultations, the Area Planners Group will be engaged regularly on the climate change work program. This will help to ensure that local issues, opportunities and implementation are adequately considered and reflected, as appropriate, in the development of policy options and implementation tools. Formal consultations will be completed during Phases 3 and 5 of the work program. A range of partners and stakeholders will be engaged during these phases, including but not limited to: Committee and Council Planning Advisory Committee Area Planners Group Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Academic Institutions Agricultural Policy and Action Committee Agricultural Stakeholders Environmental Stakeholders Development Community The Public An Indigenous Engagement Strategy for the Official Plan work program is currently being developed. Consultation and engagement for the climate change work program will be consistent with the overall strategy. Following the completion of the climate change work program there will be a process to ensure alignment across all sections of the new Official Plan. Then there will be a statutory public meeting, and the Official Plan will be brought to Council for adoption as a single comprehensive document.

The Natural Environment polices were introduced through Amendment 187 to the Official Plan, which was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board on April 16, 2008. The Air Quality and Climate Change policies require the Region to: Develop and implement a plan to reduce GHG emissions from Regional operations by at least 20% below 1994 levels, and emissions from the community as a whole by at least 6% below 1994 levels by 2014 Develop and implement climate change adaptation plans Encourage and support energy conservation, district heating and combined heat and power, and alternative and renewable energy sources Encourage the Federal and Provincial government and Local Area Municipalities to pursue reductions in air pollutants and GHG emissions and to develop and implement climate change adaptation strategies Mandatory Provincial Direction Since the Official Plan policies came into effect, the legislative and policy requirements relating to climate change have evolved considerably. The provincial government released its combating climate change and achieving its GHG reduction targets. The Climate Change Mitigation and Low-Carbon Economy Act, 2016 embedded the GHG reduction targets in a statute, prescribed content that must be included in the provincial climate change action plans, and set out the framework for the cap and trade program in Ontario. -2020 includes specific commitments for meeting the 2020 GHG reduction targets, including actions to support municipal land use planning for low-carbon communities. As part of the CCAP, the Planning Act was amended to identify climate change as a matter of provincial interest and require climate change mitigation and adaptation policies in municipal Official Plans. The Province also released a new provincial land use planning policy framework the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014, Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Page 465 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 8 ______________________________________________________________________ 2017, Greenbelt Plan, 2017 and Niagara Escarpment Plan, 2017. The policy framework requires municipalities to address climate change in a variety of ways, including: Building compact, complete communities Assessing infrastructure risks and vulnerabilities Reducing automobile dependence and supporting transit and active transportation Water conservation Stormwater management planning and watershed planning Energy conservation in buildings Supporting renewable and alternative energy Directing development outside of hazardous lands Protecting the natural heritage system and agricultural land base Supporting integrated waste management The Growth Plan encourages municipalities to develop GHG inventories, interim and long-term emission reduction targets, and strategies to reduce emissions and improve resilience. Niagara Region has already completed this work through its participation in the PCP Program mentioned above (the GHG inventories are based on 2006 data). In addition, the Growth Plan requires municipalities to develop Official Plan policies and other strategies for certain municipally owned facilities and operations. Examples include: Energy conservation in municipally owned facilities Air quality improvement through a reduction in emissions from municipal sources Page 466 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 9 ______________________________________________________________________ APPENDIX 3: CLIMATE CHANGE FRAMEWORK DEVELOPMENT PDS 7-2018 and PDS 8-2018 presented to the Planning and Economic Development Committee on January 31, 2018 provided an overview of the agriculture and natural environment frameworks, and sought direction to consult with the Area Planners Group and local municipal planning staff toward the development of detailed work programs. Individual one-on-one meetings were held with the Local Area Municipalities between February 1 and 21, 2018. Presentations were also made to the Area Planners Group on January 26, March 16, 2018 and April 27, 2018. These meetings and presentations included specific content on climate change to generate early discussion. During these discussions, climate change was frequently flagged as an important consideration in the development of the agricultural and natural environment work programs, as well as other priority background studies for the Official Plan. Recognizing that climate change impacts many different areas of the Official Plan, it was identified as a significant and important component of the overall initiative. Input received from the Area Planners Group and the Local Area Municipalities relating to climate change focussed on the following themes: The need for clear regional direction on climate change The need to engage with other departments (e.g. Public Works, Public Health) The importance of education on climate change and drawing policy linkages There are a wide range of opportunities in Niagara (e.g. energy conservation in new buildings, GO transit expansion, local transit, stormwater management) Integrating climate change policies throughout the new Official Plan may support local conformity exercises and broader implementation This input provided valuable insight to help shape the climate change work program.

The five milestones are: 1.Create a GHG emissions inventory and forecast 2.Set an emissions reduction target 3.Develop a local action plan 4.Implement the local action plan or a set of activities 5.Monitor progress and report results Many municipalities across Canada participated in the PCP Program, including approximately 80 in Ontario. St. Catharines and Welland also joined the PCP Program. Table 1 Milestone Corporate Community 1 Inventory and Forecast The 2006 Corporate GHG Emissions Inventory measured emissions by the following sectors: buildings, vehicle fleet, traffic signals and beacons, water and wastewater, and corporate waste The business as usual forecast predicted a 40% total annual emission growth by 2021 The 2006 Community GHG Emissions Inventory measured emissions in the following sectors: residential, commercial, industrial, transportation, and community waste The business as usual forecast predicted a 20.3% total annual emission growth by 2020 2 Target 0% growth from the 2006 baseline by 2016 10-15% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2020 6% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2016 10-15% reduction from the 2006 baseline by 2030 3 Action Plan Corporate Climate Change Action Plan completed in 2013 Developed with Corporate Climate Change Steering Committee and informed by paper, Adapting to Climate Community Climate Change Action Plan completed in 2013 Developed with Action Team and extensive community consultation over the course of two years;and informed by Page 468 of 827 PDS 22-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 11 ______________________________________________________________________ Milestone Corporate Community Change: Challenges for Niagara Region (June 2012)* paper, Adapting to Climate Change: Challenges for Niagara Region (June 2012)* 4 and 5 Implementation and Monitoring Progress report IPC 22-2014 assessed changes in emissions from 2006 to 2012 and concluded that Niagara Region had already surpassed the target set out in the Corporate Climate Change Action Plan, and was on track to reach the long-term GHG reduction goal of 10-15% by 2020 Progress report IPC 22-2014 noted that no data would be collected on the Community Climate Change Action Plan until 2017, as it required access to a number of external data sources *The action plans were informed by a report that was commissioned to better understand how climate change might impact Niagara. The paper, Adapting to Climate Change: Challenges for Niagara Region, authored by Dr. Jennifer Penney, was released in June 2012. The report describes how climate is changing in the Niagara region, the near-term impacts, climate change activities underway within the region, and gaps that need to be addressed in order to develop and implement adaptation strategies. Planning and Development Services staff understand that the Corporate Climate Change Steering Committee and the Community Action Team have been dissolved, and the action plans are no longer being actively monitored and reported on.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an update on the status of the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR) and the requirements to integrate the MCR into the new Regional Official Plan. Due to the changes in Provincial planning policy, which has redefined the nature of an MCR, the work that has been done by the Region is divided into two stages the MCR before the Growth Plan (2017) and the MCR after the Growth Plan (2017). Launched in 2015, the MCR consisted of four phases Background and Technical Analysis, Issues and Opportunities, Growth Options and Preferred Growth Option. Phase 3, Growth Options, was presented to Planning and Development Committee in November 2016 (PDS 37-2016) and deferred by Regional Council until Provincial guidance for calculating the land budget was provided which would enable the preferred growth option to be determined. Population forecasts that were established in phase 3 of the MCR were utilized: as inputs into the TMP and MSP (Go, Grow and Flow) to help determine the infrastructure requirements needed to support future growth; and With the Approval of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (May 2017) which took effect on July 1 2017, an MCR is now required as a series of Page 472 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ background reports that inform a new official plan or amendment to an official plan and that comprehensively applies the policies and schedules of the Growth Plan (2017). As a result, from a planning point of view, the MCR initiated in 2014 has served its purpose and is complete. The work that has been done to date will now be integrated into the growth management program for the new Regional Official Plan. The growth management program consists of the following components Regional Land Needs Assessment Urban Structure, Employment Lands Strategy and Housing Strategy. Each component is described in this report in terms of work to be done and next steps. Financial Considerations MCR pre 2017 Growth Plan work has been fully funded and the post 2017 Growth Plan costs will be accommodated within the council approved budget for the Regional Official Plan. Analysis The table below provides a timeline of the key stages of the Regions MCR process and changes to related policy and guidance documents issued by the Province. Date Stage Action/Implication January 2015 MCR Project Initiation Council approved, PDS 8-2015 May 2016 MCR Phase 1 and 2 Complete Council approved, PDS 15-2016 November 2016 MCR Phase 3 Growth Options presented to Committee and Council Preferred growth option is approved for use in TMP and WWW Plan and for Development Charge study, PDS 37-2016 Council deferred the consideration of growth options pending the release of and Regional calculations based on Provincial Guidance on Land Needs Assessment July 2017 Growth Plan 2017 comes into effect MCR process is redefined December 2017 Guidance on Land Needs Assessment is released for consultation Niagara Region provided formal comments to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs in February 2018 March 2018 Draft Guidance on MCR Process is released for consultation Initial deadline for comment of May 7 2018 is extended to June 19, 2018 March 2018 Draft Guidance on Application of Initial deadline for comment of May 7 Page 473 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________ Intensification and Density Target guidance released 2018 is extended to June 19, 2018 Background: Niagara 2041: How We Grow Pre 2017 Growth Plan Municipal Comprehensive Review The Niagara 2041 Growth Strategy was Comprehensive Review (MCR), the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and the Water/Wastewater Master Servicing Plan (MSP). These three initiatives work together to ensure that future land use planning and infrastructure decisions are integrated. Niagara Region has been undertaking the MCR work program in order to align with Provincial Growth Plan forecasts by allocating population and employment growth to the year 2041 to areas where growth is and will occur from a market perspective while still complying with Provincial policy. The Municipal Comprehensive Review was originally intended to be completed in four phases: 1.Background and Technical Analysis 2.Issues and Opportunities 3.Growth Options 4.Preferred Growth Option Phase 1 and 2 are complete and were endorsed by Regional Council in March 2016. Phase 3, Growth Options, was presented to Planning and Development Committee in November 2016 (PDS 37-2016) and was subsequently deferred by Regional Council until the specific land needs associated with the Preferred Growth Option were determined. Phase 3 forecasts were utilized as inputs into the TMP and MSP to help determine the infrastructure project requirements needed to support future growth.These plans in turn informed Study approved by Regional Council thereby, 2017 Provincial Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe The new Growth Plan was released on May 18, 2017 and took effect on July 1, 2017. Changes to the Growth Plan were the most substantive among the Provincial plans and these changes have MCR and growth management program going forward.Post 2017 Growth Plan MCR work including a Preferred Growth Option will now be completed through the growth management program for the new Regional Official Plan.Prior work (Phases 1, 2 and 3) will be incorporated into the growth management program for the new Regional Official Plan. As outlined in PDS 3-2018 and PDS-C 7-2018, the 2017 Growth Plan now requires a number of functional,interrelated background strategies to be prepared to inform the Page 474 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 4 ______________________________________________________________________ allocation of population and employment growth of the MCR. These studies are a Regional Lands Needs Assessment informed by: Urban Structure Employment Lands Strategy Housing Strategy All of these interrelated studies to support the growth management work for Niagara will require consultation and collaboration with the local municipalities.All of these projects are now underway. Regional Lands Needs Assessment Provincial guidance on the Land Needs Assessment Methodology was released in December 2017 and the Region provided comments to the Province in February 2018. The land needs assessment seeks to establish a standard methodology for consistently assessing land use needs to implement the population and employment forecasts associated with Schedule 3 of the Growth Plan. Impacting the conclusion of the lands needs assessment are two factors. First,the lands needs assessment will need to be informed by the three key studies (Urban Structure, Employment Strategy and Housing Strategy)mentioned above. Each of these background studies is required to be substantially underway prior to the conclusion of the lands needs assessment. While work on each of these strategies has been initiated,the Province has just recently released additional guidance material on the required strategies. Staff are currently reviewing and trying to determine the implications of the additional released guidance material. The second factor is the new Growth Plan Greenfield density target. The new Growth Plan requires Niagara to increase the Greenfield density target from 50 to 80 residents and jobs per hectare for all designated Greenfield lands. Regional staff are of the opinion that this target is not appropriate for Niagara as the new target,in theory,would require very dense communities to be constructed on the periphery of our urban areas. In recognition of this concern, the Province has indicated that requests may be considered for alternative density targets for Greenfield areas. To date,the Province has not provided information on the process or timing for the request of an alternative Greenfield target. Excess Lands and Urban Area Boundary Expansions The outcome of the land needs assessment will determine if the Region requires more land or has an excess supply of land in order to achieve a population of 610,000 people and 265,000 jobs by 2041. Even with an alternative Greenfield density target, it is Page 475 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 5 ______________________________________________________________________ anticipated that the Region,as a whole,will have a surplus 20 year land supply. Per Policy 2.2.1.6 of the 2017 Growth Plan,Niagara Region will be required to identify lands which are Greenfield lands that are in excess of what is needed to accommodate forecasted growth to 2041.However, the new Regional Official Plan does allow an opportunity to rationalize urban area boundaries and ensure that sufficient lands are in the proper location to accommodate growth. Urban area boundary expansions can take place,even if there are excess lands,provided policies are in place to de-designate or phase excess lands from the overall Regional urban land supply. As the municipalities of Welland, West Lincoln and Fort Erie are seeking urban expansion requests, then the land needs assessment will need to consider these urban expansion asks in the context of an oversupply of urban designated land. Planning staff are establishing criteria to review private requests and will be reviewing these requests and reporting back to Planning and Economic Development Committee. Urban Structure Under the 2017 Growth Plan, the Region is required to achieve an eventual 60% intensification rate.To assist in achieving the overall 60% intensification rate,the Province has required the Region develop an Urban Structure. An Urban Structure will create a hierarchy of strategic growth areas that implement an urban vision and growth strategy first identified in PDS 34-2015. Accordingly, growth will be directed to areas best served by a combination of transportation/transit, public works and community infrastructure and services allowing for areas of the most intensive and greatest mix of development.The combination of an urban structure and local secondary planning program will ensure intensification occurs strategically while protecting stable established residential neighbourhoods. After preliminary discussions with local municipal planners,an urban structure that incorporates the elements as shown in and attached as Appendix I will be pursued for further analysis. Moving forward, Regional staff will continue to work with impacted municipalities on policy development,policy interpretation and implementation efforts associated with the development of a Regional urban structure. Regional Employment Strategy The 2017 Growth Plan has strengthened the protection of employment areas. The Region is now required to prepare an Employment Strategy that identifies and designates employment areas (traditionally industrial designated lands) in the Regional Official Plan for long term protection. Employment areas are clusters of business activity designated in Official Plans. Major retail uses would be prohibited from employment areas. Conversions of employment land to non-employment uses in a designated Page 476 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________ employment area will only be considered at the time of a Regional MCR which is then approved by the Province through the updated Regional Official Plan. The Employment Strategy will identify employment areas,establish a minimum density target for employment areas and identify opportunities for intensification. The primary goal of the employment strategy is to ensure that there is a sufficient supply of employment areas that are marketable,serviceable and in appropriate locations to meet forecasted industrial job growth to the year 2041. The Region is currently working with the local municipalities, specifically area planners at this stage. This project Inventory.With the confirmation of employment areas,a market assessment will be undertaken to analyze the viability of the identified employment areas. Housing Strategy The 2017 Growth Plan requires Niagara Region to prepare a Housing Strategy. The Regional Housing Strategy is intended to ensure a proper mix of housing forms over the planning horizon to provide housing choice, aging in place opportunities and affordability. The 2017 Growth Plan now requires that targets for both affordable ownership and rental housing be established. Planning for affordability is to be tied to the needs of future residents. The Housing strategy is to also consider the existing housing stock. The Housing Strategy will be developed in consultation with the local municipalities, the Province and other stakeholders including Community Services and Niagara Housing. The Region is the process of undertaking a review of the l: 10 Year-Housing and Homelessness Acti housing work will contribute to the development of the Housing Strategy. Please see Appendix II for an outline of the Housing Strategy work program. Consultation & Engagement The growth management program requires consultation and co-operation among the Region, Province and local municipalities. As outlined in this report, the Region will be collaborating extensively with the local municipalities throughout the development of the functional background strategies. Open houses will be held to show the results of the growth management program as it progresses. Next Steps report, Regional Staff will continue to work on the growth management program through the balance of 2018 and into 2019. It is Page 477 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 7 ______________________________________________________________________ anticipated that Regional staff will bring an update to Council on the status of this work upon completion of all background work as well as the consideration of options. Alternatives Reviewed The studies needed to support the growth management section of the Regional Official Plan is required by the 2017 Growth Plan. Ongoing consultation with the local municipalities will continue to ensure local context and alternatives are considered. Relationship to Council Strategic Priorities A n Innovation, Investment, and Entrepreneurship. The growth management program will provide a key cornerstone for the new Regional Official Plan.

The Downtown St. Catharines UGC, whose boundaries are defined, has a minimum density target of 150 residents and jobs combined per hectare by 2031 or earlier. Downtown Niagara Falls and Downtown Welland Emerging Urban Centres Downtown Niagara Falls (incorporating the Niagara Falls GO Major Transit Station Area) and Downtown Welland Emerging Urban Centres are regional focal points that have potential for accommodating population and employment growth. These two emerging urban centres, in the horizon of the Regional Plan (2041), will grow to become as close as possible to become vibrant and dense, transit supportive urban cores. Major GO Transit Station Areas With the pending arrival of GO Rail service, the Region in co-operation with the municipalities of Grimsby, Lincoln, St. Catharines and Niagara Falls through secondary plans, are creating vibrant and dense mixed use nodes around the major transit station areas. The proposed urban structure would recognize this work. Other Regional Growth Areas Other Regional Growth Areas span multiple jurisdictions that have the potential to become iconic in nature and have the potential to attract new investment, people, jobs and development. The District Plan process is a key process for identifying these significant Regional areas. Regional Corridors Regional corridors are the multi-modal linkages that connect Strategic Growth Areas and urban areas across Niagara. The design of Regional Corridors will complement and benefit the landscape they travel through. It is envisioned that lands along Regional Corridors will be intensified with denser forms of higher residential development. The delineation of Regional corridors is still being discussed with local planners. Local Centres & Local Corridors Local centres are strategic centres of growth and investment for the local municipality such as the downtown cores or key mixed use areas.Local corridors are local major Page 479 of 827 PDS 21-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 9 ______________________________________________________________________ roads that facilitate the flow of people and goods and have the potential for intensive and mixed use development supported by public transit. Both local centres and local corridors will not be reflected in the Regional Official Plan but will be identified in local municipal official plans.

Key Facts The purpose of this report is to provide recommendations for the approval of funding under the 2018 Waterfront Investment Program (WIP) for projects in the Town of Lincoln and the City of Niagara Falls as outlined below. Two applications were received for the 2018 WIP application year, with other potential applicants indicating they planned to submit in 2019. The applications were evaluated by an independent cross-departmental Regional Staff Advisory Committee. The project approved for the Town of Lincoln is the New Museum and Culture Centre situated on Twenty Mile Creek, involving the construction of a single-story museum and cultural center on the Jordan Historical Museum site which will feature outdoor amenity spaces and renewed pedestrian access across the site to Twenty Mile Creek and connecting trails. The project approved for the City of Niagara Falls is Section 5 of the Millennium Trail, which will connect three major Regional roads and many community parks, sporting fields and adjacent trail systems, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to move safely through the City along the hydro canal. The 2018 WIP budget is $900,000. The recommendations contained in this report would provide a total of $650,000 in funding in 2018. Page 483 of 827 PDS 16-2018 May 16, 2018 Page 2 ______________________________________________________________________ The WIP is designed to promote partnerships, private sector investment and public access to waterfronts in the Niagara region through support of large-scale and economically significant projects with both local and Regional impact. The WIP is a cost-sharing program with Local Area Municipalities and the NPCA. Financial Considerations The request to provide matching funding for the successful WIP 2018 projects are subject to the 2018 annual program budget of $900,000. This budget derives from a program budget approved by Council beginning in 2013 for $1 million per year for 10 years, and is currently funded through the Capital Levy Reserve. This report recommends total funding of $650,000 in 2018, which is within approved 2018 WIP budget limits. Budget remaining following allocation of funding for the projects in this report will return to the Capital Levy Reserve as per current Council-approved Reserve and Reserve Funds Policy C4- their original source at each year-end through the year- Analysis Background The Waterfront Investment Program is an incentive program that enables a range of stakeholders, including private sector interests, Local Area Municipalities, Niagara Region, the NPCA, non-profit organizations and the public, to work together to improve access to and provide sustainable investment in Niagara waterfronts. The WIP was approved by Regional Council in June 2016 (PDS 25-2016) to replace the former Lakefront Enhancement Strategy incentive program, with subsequent program improvements approved by Council in January 2017 (PDS 3-2017). The WIP incorporates a business case model with evaluation criteria concentrated on leveraging return on investment, regional economic impact and public realm considerations. This is its third funding cycle. Evaluation and Results The 2018 WIP applications were evaluated by a cross-departmental Regional Staff Advisory Committee based on specific criteria approved by Council including the overall completeness of an application, strength of project, business case (e.g. budget, drivers for investment, outcomes, project and long-term management), and alignment with WIP goals (e.g., promotes economic prosperity, stimulates investment, enhances public access and public realm). Neither applicant has received a Lakefront Enhancement Strategy or Waterfront Investment Program grant in the past.

Applicability of the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege 39 The town cited the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege to 40 41 42 discuss how the town should proceed with respect to its finances. As discussed above,this exception is applicable “where legal advice of any kind is sought from a professional legal advisor in his capacity as such”and includes communications necessary for that purpose.9 In most cases,information provided to council by staff about a municipality’s finances would not fit within any of the exceptions to the open meeting rules and should be discussed in open session.Governments are entrusted with the management of public funds,and information about the state of those funds should be public to ensure financial accountability at the local level. However,in this case,the town's solicitor submitted that the information presented by the Treasurer was necessary to fully explore the issues covered by the legal advice provided to council.As with the third party expert’s report discussed above, 43 the informationprovided by the Treasurer wasprovidedto allowthe lawyers to understand the financial information,in order to provide legal advice to the town. Having considered the solicitor’s comments,including in response to our preliminary report,and a thorough review of the audio recording of the closed meeting,I have determined that the discussions on September 5 were properly held in camera,as the information provided by the Treasurer was sufficiently necessary to fully explore the issues covered by the legal advice to fall within the exception for solicitor-client privilege.I commend the town once again for audio recording its meetings,as the record was particularly helpful in this case. 9 Descéteaux et al.v.Mierzwinski,[1982]1 SCR 860.

Applicability of the exception for labour relations or employee negotiations 23 Council cited the exception for labour relations or employee negotiations in the resolution to go into closed session. 24 While decisions of the Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner are not binding on my Office,they are often informative with respect to the applicability of the exceptions in the Act.The Information and Privacy Commissioner has found that the term “labour relations”refers to the collective bargaining relationship between an institution and its employees,as governed by collective bargaining legislation,or to analogous relationships.‘ 25 My Office has found that this exception may also include discussions involving staff compensation or vacation‘,the hiring or firing of staff or disciplinary ‘IPC Order MO-2352 (see also order P0-2613)Appeal MA07-409 (City of Elliot Lake) GD 4 Town of Pelham Ombudsman AP""2‘”8 ONTARIO Page 507 of 827 proceedings;grievances under a collective agreement;a voluntary exit program; or a review of staff workload and working relationships? 26 In the closed meeting on September 5,2017,council for the town discussed an individua|’s conduct and performance with respect to employment.The discussion fit within the exception for labour relations and employee negotiations in section 239(2)(d)of the Act. Applicability of the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege 27 28 The town cited the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege to receive and discuss the consultant's report in camera.The consultant was retained by the town’s lawyers to review and interpret financial information provided by the town.The town's lawyers told us that the consultant's report formed the basis for the legal advice provided to the town. The courts have found that the exception for advice subject to solicitor-client privilege is applicable "where legal advice of any kind is sought from a professional legal advisor in his capacity as such"and includes communications necessary for that purpose.3 As the Information and Privacy Commissioner set out in Order49, in order for the privilege to apply: 0 There must be written or oral communication, The communication must be of a confidential nature, a The communication must be between a client (or his agent)and a legal advisor,and o The communication must be directly related to seeking,formulating or giving legal advice.4 29 The courts have examined the function of third party communications,like reports from a consultant,to determine if they are protected by solicitor—c|ient privilege. 30 The courts have emphasized the distinction between solicitor-client privilege and litigation privilege.ln GeneraIAcc/‘dent Assurance Co.v.Chrusz,the Ontario Court of Appeal explained that not all material deemed useful to a lawyer to properly 2 Ontario Ombudsman,“Investigation into a complaint about a meeting held by Council for the City of Sault Ste.Marie on October 13,2015"(August 2016)onlinez <https:/lwww.ombudsman.oncalresources/reports-and-case-summaries/municipai—meetings/2016/city—of- sault-ste-marie>. 3 Descéteaux er al.v.Mierzwinski,[1982]1 SCR 860. 4 Order49 [1989]O.l.P.C.No.13. ~5Q)Town ofPelham Ombudsman AP"’2°“’ ONTARIO Page 508 of 827 31 advise a client is protected by solicitor-client privilege;it must be essential to the operation of the so|icitor—client relationship.5 In that case,the court found that where a third party acts as a conduit for information between a client and solicitor,like a translator or messenger,privilege will apply.The court explained that communications with an expert like a doctor or psychiatrist retained by a lawyer will be privileged where the expert is acting as a translator to interpret the medical evidence,allowing the lawyer to “understand that ,,:.,,,..-.__;information and assess its significance to the legal issues that the solicitor must address”.6 32 The court explained that this can also apply to an expert like an accountant,who interprets financial data provided by a client to allow the lawyer to understand the information relevant to formulating their advice.7 33 The consultant retained by the town’s lawyers acted as a translator,interpreting the financial information provided by the town and explaining it to the lawyers to allow them to formulate legal advice.The discussion in camera about the consultant's report fit within the exception for so|icitor—client privilege.

As discussed above,this exception is applicable “where legal advice of any kind is sought from a professional legal advisor in his capacity as such”and includes communications necessary for that purpose.9 In most cases,information provided to council by staff about a municipality's finances would not fit within any of the exceptions to the open meeting rules and should be discussed in open session.Governments are entrusted with the management of public funds,and information about the state of those funds should be public to ensure financial accountability at the local level. However,in this case,the town’s solicitor submitted that the information presented by the Treasurer was necessary to fully explore the issues covered by the legal provided expert's report 43 the information provided by the Treasurer was provided to allow the lawyers to understand the financial information,in order to provide legal advice to the town. Having considered the so|icitor's comments,including in response to our preliminary report,and a thorough review of the audio recording of the closed meeting,I have determined that the discussions on September 5 were properly held in camera,as the information provided by the Treasurer was sufficiently necessary to fully explore the issues covered by the legal advice to fall within the exception for solicitor-client privilege.I commend the town once again for audio recording its meetings,as the record was particularly helpful in this case. 9 Descéteaux et al.v.Mierzwinski,[1982]1 SCR 860. , Q)7 Town qfPelham 'Ombudsman “P"’2°“‘ ONTARIO Page 510 of 827 Procedural matters Procedure by-law 44 The township’s procedure by—lawstates that all council and committee meetings shall be open to the public,except in accordance with the exceptions in the Municipal Act,2001 . 45 The by—|awclosely mirrors the exceptions set out in the Act,except for the exception set out in section 239(3)(b)for discussions about an ongoing investigation by the Ontario Ombudsman,an appointed ombudsman,or an appointed closed meeting investigator. 46 In response to my preliminary report,town staff have recommended that council update the town's procedure by—|awto reflect all of the exceptions to the open meeting rule set out in the Act. Minutes 47 The Act requires that council record,without note or comment,all resolutions, decisions,and other proceedings at its meetings. 48 In the meeting minutes from the closed session on September 5,2017,the only exception listed for discussing the first matter in closed session is the solicitor- client privilege exception.However,on the audio recording,the Mayor can be heard passing a resolution to discuss that matter in closed session under both the so|icitor—c|ient privilege exception and the labour relations or employee negotiations exception. 49 In this case,the minutes did not capture the full proceedings of council.After receiving my preliminary report,council directed staff to correct the meeting minutes for September 5 to reflect both exceptions cited to close the meeting, noting that one exception was omitted in error. Informal gathering on September 5,2017 50 In addition to the complaints reviewed above aoout the town s beptemoer :2,Au ll 'closed council meeting,my Office received a complaint that members of council gathered at a local establishment called the Mouse Trap following the meeting on September 5,2017,in violation of the open meeting provisions of the Municipal Act. @)8 Town ofPelham Ombudsman AP"’2°“‘ ONTARIO Page 511 of 827 Regular informal gatherings of council members 51 In interviews,council members told my Office that it is a regular practice for members of council to meet for a social gathering after council meetings.They told us that the purpose of the gatherings is to allow council members to get to know one another more personally. 52 53 LJOUHCIIIOFS told my Umce that alter every council meeting,they go to the Mouse Trap for some food and drinks.We were told_that councillors generally go straight to the Mouse Trap following the meeting,while the Mayor arrives about 30 minutes later because he stays to help staff clear up council chambers and to shut down his computer.Council members told us they usually sit at one of two spots in the restaurant. Council members recalled being cautioned by town staff to take care not to discuss or advance council business during an informal gathering.Some councillors specifically mentioned that they know not to advance the business of council and,in the past,members have reminded one another not to discuss something if a matter related to council business comes up during a gathering. Gathering on September 5,2017 4 Un September 5,2017 council members told my Office they gathered in the 55 56 57 middle section in the Mouse Trap at standing tables.We were told that no one other than council members was at their table for the gathering,but that other individuals in the restaurant might have stopped by to say hello and briefly chat. Some members of council recalled council members expressing their reactions to the discussion at that night's council meeting during the gathering that evening. They told us the discussion did not include anything specific about the content of the meeting and was not a continuation of the meeting‘s discussions. Three council members did not recall the council meeting being discussed at all while at the Mouse Trap. Council members told us the remainder of the conversation at the Mouse Trap on September 5,2017 was about matters unrelated to council business.They suggested it was about their lives,including vacation plans,real estate,or sports games,though no members of council could recall specifically what was discussed that night.All council members agreed the purpose of the gathering was social in nature. ’r-9C7’)Town of Pelham April 2018 Page 512 of 827 Analysis 58 At the time of the September 5,2017 gathering,the term “meeting"was defined in section 238 of the Act as "any regular,special or other meeting of a council,of a local board or of a committee of either of them.” 59 My Office has developed a working definition of “meeting": Members of council (or a committee)must come together for the purpose of exercising the power or authority of the council (or committee),or for the purpose of doing the groundwork necessary to exercise that power or authority.” 60 The Municipal Act,2001 does not prevent council members from meeting informally or socially outside of council chambers.My Office found that a social gathering of council members in Owen Sound did not contravene the Act,as members did not discuss council business during the gathering.“However,in my Office's report regarding a private breakfast meeting in the City of Hamilton,we noted that it can be challenging to assure the public that no improper discussions have taken place when councillors or committee members meet informally.” 61 In the present case,members of council from the Town of Pelham gathered socially at a local restaurant surrounded by other tables.No council business was discussed and council members did not lay the groundwork for any future council decisions. 62 This type of social gathering is not a “meeting”for the purposes of the Act's open meeting requirements.However,such gatherings run the risk of undermining public confidence and engendering suspicion,particularly if concern or opinions about council business are expressed during the gathering.Council should keep in ‘°Amendments to the Municipal Act,2001 came into force on January 1,2018,which included a new de?nition of "meeting"for purposes of section 239 of the Act.These amendments were not in force at the time of the September 5,2017 meeting. 1‘Ombudsman of Ontario,Investigation into the City of Owen Sound's alleged violations of the Municipal ,...

Since they can only accommodate three vehicles on their property,this would be considered a hardship which means they would qualify for an overnight parking permit.If the same household had only 3 Page 706 of 827 licensed drivers,but 4 vehicles they would not qualify under the hardship rule for an overnight parking permit and would have to make arrangements to park the 4"‘vehicle elsewhere. The application submitted provided the following information 1)that the residence consists of 5 occupants and primary drivers. 2)that the property has 4 available parking spaces (2 garage parking,2 driveway parking) 3)the number of vehicles requested review forthe overnight parking consideration is 9 As there are 5 primary drivers and 4 parking spaces staff has determined that 1 permit reflecting the 5 primary plates would be permitted providing parking for all drivers and no one vehicle dedicated to JLICCL IJGII\IlIS- This leaves the remaining 4 vehicles identified as non—essentiai and recreational use vehicies outside of primary use;this group inciudes secondary cars,motorcycles and possible trailers.As the application is approved on a hardship basis and not convenience,secondary vehicies are considered outside application ofhardship conditions and staff recommend that the residence look for other storage opportunities for infrequently used vehicles. Other bylaws are in effect that address the storage of vehicles on municipal roadways such as a 12 hour maximum parking duration on all streets in the City of Niagara Falls. The decision was based on our Policy and Procedures for reviewing and issuing Parking Permits, specifically Overnight parking permits.Daily use vehicles have accommodated the through the issuance of an overnight permit and Mr.Rekrut was advised that he must find alternative off street parking for his additional vehicles.As you are probably aware,this is a new subdivision with small lot frontages, resulting in the lack avaiiable on—street parking opportunities on this street as well as the surrounding neighbourhood streets.The applicant was really looking for a place to store his vehicles.The lack of available street parking has resulted in many complaints from area residents regarding the vehicles being parked overnight on the street.From January 1,2018 to June 1,2018,Total overnight complaints were 32 and Total daytime were 17,which resulted 30 overnight tickets and 6 tickets for obstruction of sidewalk being issued.

When we moved into our new house it had a 4 car driveway with no mention of a sidewalk when we enquired with the developers on site.With the side walk and very narrow provision of grass boulevard (approximately 5 ~6 feet)we officially lost two parking spaces and it became a 2 car driveway. «Cl-,-nu «mu-.1/‘xv ‘p;l;1nrr +I4|r\-V-(‘I111-:1FA:Lf1 1-\avrv\;+’)nor]/;nn FXLLUI lllall)’llUl\ClD allu 1111115LIIU lU\.lL-ILLULLPULIILIL,VVU VYULM BLGJLLULLL4 lJG.11\.J.,l.l5 passes during the time that was required to analyze our case,which I admit is unusual,and we then had one permit revoked.Within our household we have 7 cars/trucks and 2 motorcycles for 5 licensed drivers and would be able to suffice with 2 parking passes.I don't believe that our ability to afford more than one daily driven/regular use vehicle per individual,should be penalized. ;;».u u.an \4A.Ll.\/usJ.\4 A\JA.uA.A\/;vD.v....,.....v ..v--.....--..........--..-.....,...-........,.V---_-__-_--..--__.___ length it is difficult to arrive home between 3am.and 8a.m.after night shifts only to have to arrange Vehicles as per our parking schedule and which single vehicle may use the road. My other concern is for safety,case of parking,and egress for my wife,who if her vehicle is boxed in or unable to park unobstructed on the street,then has a moving around so as to have a car with a child seat base mounted in it.This i;the only safe way for her to transpoit our infant,should an emergency arise she may not be able to exit the driveway with ease,or at all. Having spoken with my neighbours whom would be directly affected,they were agreeable to signing a document that was submitted to the Office of the Mayor, defending our case. I understand there have been past complaints but it's clearly stated in some of the complaints that residents find it difficult to negotiate the streets while vehicles are parked on both sides.Most any city I've lived in or Visitedhave resolved this with "no parking"signage on one side of the street.I do agree that any type of parking within a set distance of the turn on Sam Ior?da Dr proves difficult and dangerous to negotiate,but this is a small and particuiar space.This then gives a clearly de?ned area where parking is permitted.I understand that the purpose of this bylaw may be to prevent tourists from using side streets for free parking while attending main attractions.In my opinion,this neighborhood is an adequate distance from those attractions and the residents should not see the penalty for past actions of non-residents. Page 708 of 827 I thank you for your time and appreciate the effort it takes to bring this matter to council.I'm simply looking for a fair evaluation on a matter which would make living in the city that I newly call home,a much easier and more enjoyable experience.

Should parking occur on both sides, then Parking Restrictions may be required. - On-street Parking availability is limited due to lot size and road width. - Speed Humps and raised crosswalk treatments will be installed on final asphalt layer. - Five occupants reside in this rental unit, with each of the occupants having a vehicle, 2 of the occupants each have 2 extra vehicles - There is space on the property for 4 vehicles with one vehicle requiring a permit (approved), the remaining 4 vehicles do not meet the hardship criteria as outlined in the Policy, therefore would have to be stored elsewhere, this is a practice that is city wide. - From Jan. 1/18 to Jun. 1/18 – 32 overnight and 17 daytime parking complaint were received which resulted in 30 overnight parking infractions and 6 obstruction of sidewalk infractions being issued.

Implementation .................................................................................................................. 41 Page 774 of 827 Preamble The purpose of this Secondary Plan is to provide a detailed land use and policy framework for the regulation of development within the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Area. The Secondary Plan Area includes lands located north of Biggar Road, south of the Welland River, east of Crowland Avenue, and west of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) and have a total area of 330 hectares (815 acres). A substantial amount of the Secondary Plan Area is natural heritage including Provincially Significant Wetlands (PSW’s) and associated wetlands and significant woodlands. It is intended that the Secondary Plan Area will develop as an environmentally sustainable, healthy, and complete community with distinctive, liveable neighbourhoods, integrated and connected green spaces, efficient transportation, transit, and trails systems, and employment opportunities. Principles and Objectives The following principles and objectives are to be achieved. Principle 1 - Protect and restore natural heritage features To grow and develop in an environmentally appropriate manner that protects and restores the natural environment and promotes the creation of a comprehensive and linked Natural Heritage System. The Natural Heritage System will be enhanced by connections via the trails system to parks and stormwater management facilities. Objectives • To ensure that development does not negatively impact on natural heritage features or their ecological functions by providing appropriate separation distances and buffers. • To provide a functional and highly interconnected network of natural heritage resources, parks, and stormwater management facilities for the community that are accessible and visible to residents. • To integrate the Natural Heritage System into the design of the community and the public realm as aesthetic amenities. • To provide a continuous trails network within the community that incorporates links of varying character and function, among the Natural Heritage System, public parks, storm water management facilities, and a full array of community amenities. Principle 2 - Promote the responsible use of resources To encourage the responsible use of resources to ensure long-term sustainability, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and reduce demands on energy, water, and waste systems. Objectives • To ensure that municipal services are provided in a cost effective and efficient manner. Page 775 of 827 • To utilize Low Impact Design Standards that emphasize the use of bio -swales, innovative stormwater practices, at-source infiltration, greywater re-use system, and alternative water conservation measures. • To utilize opportunities for passive solar gains through building orientation. • To ensure the reduction of air pollution through the development of ‘complete’ communities that are characterized by greater densities placed at mixed use centres; mix and diversity of housing types; and connected and walkable road patterns that are designed to encourage active transportation; • To ensure that storm water management facilities are designed to fulfill their functional purpose, are treated as aesthetic components of the greenlands system, and that they do not negatively impact on natural heritage features. Principle 3 - Promote place-making To promote and strengthen a community structure that provides a strong pedestrian realm and businesses and services in a manner that respects the community’s natural heritage system. Objectives • To create an urban form that supports an interconnected street system that is transit supportive and pedestrian friendly to effectively transport people and vehicles. • To orient streets and open spaces to provide for vistas and view sheds to the Natural Heritage System and the Welland River to assist in the creation of a sense of place. • To promote place-making that instills a sense of civic pride. • To improve the quality of the living environment through the distribution and access to parks and recreational facilities. • To integrate the Welland River into the design of the open space and trail system. • To promote the provision of local convenience commercial, business, and institutional uses that will serve the local community. Principle 4 - Create a diverse community To create a well-designed and connected community of residential neighbourhoods that provide for a range of housing types and densities that meet the needs of a diverse population, a mix of uses, and a diversity of open spaces and parks. Objectives • To provide for a range and mix of housing opportunities, choices, and accessibility for all income levels and needs. • To provide for a range of affordability, consistent with targets established by the Region and the Province. • To create opportunities for life-cycle housing and assisted living. • To provide for neighbourhood commercial uses, schools, a diverse range of parks and open spaces, and community facilities to support the needs of the community. • To support the mix and diversity of land uses in a compact, active transportation supportive development form to ensure a proper balance of residential, employment, and services to shorten distances between homes, workplaces, schools, and amenities. • To plan for a density of development that will support transit. Page 776 of 827 Principle 5 - Promote active transportation To develop a connected, multi-modal, active transportation system that promotes walking, cycling, and transit usage, to not only encourage daily physical activity, but to provide an efficient road network for motor vehicles. Objectives • To create walkable and connected neighbourhoods with sufficient destinations within a walking distance of approximately 400 to 800 metres (5-10 minute walk) of most residents. • To create a highly interconnected network of streets with comfortable pedestrian environments and streetscapes that provide for ease of access, orientation, and safety for pedestrian, cyclists, and motor vehicles. • To provide a variety of economical, safe, and accessible mobility options through the provision of a connected network of streets, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, trails, and a public transit system to ensure all members of society have transportation options while reducing automobile dependence. • To ensure that pedestrian connections adjacent to the Natural Heritage System are planned to anticipate use and to avoid impact on the natural features and their ecological functions. • To ensure all roads will be designed as important components of the public realm to provide a network that is appealing for pedestrians, cyclists, transit facilities, and motor vehicles. Principle 6 - Create a connected and integrated open space and trails system To create a linked open space and trails system composed of roads, lanes, parks, sidewalks, off road trails, and bicycle lanes that are integrated with the natural heritage features.

General Policies Page 778 of 827 Community Structure 1.1. Schedule ‘A-4’ – Land Use, identifies, the following primary components of the planned community structure of this Secondary Plan: Residential Low/Medium Density; Employment Hospital Employment Campus Mixed Use Centre; Proposed Elementary Schools; Open Space/Parkland; and, Natural Heritage System (lands designated EPA and ECA). These form the basis of the land use designations and policies of this Secondary Plan. Growth Management 1.2. The Secondary Plan Area includes lands with the ‘Built-up Area’ and the ‘Greenfield Area’ as illustrated on Appendix IX-A. Greenfield Areas must achieve a minimum gross density requirement of 1.2.1. 53 people and jobs per hectare. The growth allocation for the Built-up Area is achieved through 1.2.2. intensification. Population and Employment Growth 1.3. The City of Niagara Falls has an approximate population of 88,071 residents. It is expected that the City will grow to a resident population of 108,770 with employment at 52,060 jobs by 2031. A minimum of 40% of all residential development will be in the form of intensification within the Built-up Area. Further growth is expected within the 20-year time horizon of this Secondary Plan – to beyond 2036. Phasing 1.4. The City and Region shall carefully monitor residential growth within the Grand Niagara Secondary Plan Area. Development Phasing will be established based on population growth over time, in accordance with, and in conjunction with the ability of the developers, City, and Region to pay for their respective responsibilities of infrastructure development costs as required. This Secondary Plan shall achieve a population range of approximately 1.4.1. 3,500 to 4,300 people and provide approximately 3,600 jobs. Page 779 of 827 Growth shall occur in an orderly and phased manner. The phasing 1.4.2. strategy for the Secondary Plan Area is shown on Development Phasing Plan (Appendix IX-B) and the primary factors to consider in this regard include: The integration of new development within the planned community structure of this Secondary Plan, resulting in a more contiguous, connected, and compact urban form; The provision of adequate municipal services (water, sanitary, stormwater) to accommodate the proposed growth in a cost-efficient manner; and the ability of new growth to facilitate the provision of municipal services to existing privately serviced areas within the Urban Boundary; Dedication of the lands within the identified 2km Cytec Arc, as shown on Schedule A-4 – Land Use to the City as per Policy 2.3 of this Secondary Plan; The provision of appropriate transportation facilities, and the availability of adequate capacity on the existing road network; and, The provision and adequacy of educational and social services, recreational facilities and other community services. If one or more of these factors cannot be addressed to the satisfaction of the City and Region, the processing and/or approval of development applications may be held in abeyance, or deferred, until an appropriate service level or facilities can be provided. The timing of subsequent phases of the Secondary Plan Area will be 1.4.3. determined based on the following: An evaluation of infrastructure investments, including Development Charge revenue; The extent of short term supply, not only within the Secondary Plan Area, but within the City’s Greenfield Area; and, The extent of intensification occurring within the City’s Built-up Area over the current phase of development. In order to ensure that development occurs in an orderly manner Council 1.4.4. may use holding provisions in the zoning of lands. Holding provisions can be lifted only after the following matters have been satisfied: That sufficient revenue has been, or will be, generated through Development Charges to finance the servicing of the proposed stage of Secondary Plan development; That any extensions of municipal sanitary sewers and watermains required to service the lands have been designed and approved for construction; Page 780 of 827 That the extent of the short term (serviced) land supply within the Secondary Plan Area is not more than 10 years; Whether the extent of intensification occurring within the City’s Built- up Area over the previous 5 years has been at the targeted rate; and, Execution of any front ending agreement by the owner of lands subject to a holding provision, all in accordance with requirements of the Development Charges Act. The City, through future Development Charge By-law Reviews, may 1.4.5. consider an area specific Development Charge By-law for the Secondary Plan Area. Residential Neighbourhoods 1.5. The 3 residential Neighbourhoods identified are delineated on the basis of sub- watershed boundaries, or other physical plan components, and typically include at least one stormwater management facility. The residential neighbourhoods are within the Built-up Area of Niagara Falls and are subject to the policies of Section 3.1 of this Secondary Plan. The residential neighbourhoods and the residential component of the 1.5.1. Mixed Use Centre, are expected to generate a total range of approximately 1,350 to 1,800 units and a total population range of 3,500 to 4,300 people. The expected development yield may increase, subject to the final delineation of the Natural Heritage System through the Environmental Impact Study process, without the need for a further Amendment to this Secondary Plan Medium density housing forms are to develop concurrently with lower 1.5.2. density forms. Applications for draft plan approval of plans of subdivision on lands designated Residential Low Density should contain either a land area of not less than 20 gross developable hectares or 300 housing units. Notwithstanding, the staging of registration of lands within draft approved plans of lesser land area or number of housing units is permitted. Applications should include a mix of the housing types noted in Policy 1.6.1 and the phasing for each dwelling type. Housing Range and Mix 1.6. Much of the developable land area subject to this Secondary Plan are within the designated Built-up Area, and as such are not subject to any identified minimum density target. Notwithstanding a full range and mix of housing types shall be provided within each neighbourhood. Page 781 of 827 Three (3) residential Neighbourhoods are shown on Schedule 'A-4' - Land 1.6.1. Use and are planned to achieve the following housing targets as per Section 3.1 of this Secondary Plan: NEIGHBOURHOOD ONE (N1) - Approximately 400 to 520 dwelling units, including a mixture of Single Detached, Semi Detached, and Duplex units; and 30% Street and Block Townhouses, Stacked Townhouses, as well as Multi-unit buildings and Low-rise Apartments. NEIGHBOURHOOD TWO (N2) - Approximately 450 to 580 dwelling units including a mixture of Single Detached, Semi Detached, and Duplex units; and 30% Street and Block Townhouses Stacked Townhouses, as well as Multi-unit buildings and Low-rise Apartments. NEIGHBOURHOOD THREE (N3) - Approximately 220 to 280 dwelling units, including a mixture of Single Detached and Semi - Detached units and 30% Street and Block Townhouses, Stacked Townhouses, as well as Multi-unit buildings and Low-rise Apartments. The amount and distribution of new housing shall be consistent with the 1.6.2. Development Phasing Plan (Appendix IX-B), principles, growth management provisions, and other policies set out in this Secondary Plan. All residential development shall conform with the policies of Sections 2.3 1.6.3. and 3.1 of this Plan. As per Policy 1.3.1 of the Official Plan, a variety of ancillary uses may 1.6.4. also be permitted where they are compatible with the residential environment and contribute to a complete community. Ancillary uses shall include, but are not limited to schools, churches, nursing homes, open space, parks, recreational and community facilities, public utilities, and neighbourhood commercial uses. Ancillary uses within the Built-up Area that have the potential of 1.6.5. generating large volumes of traffic are generally encouraged to locate: on an arterial, or on a collector in proximity to an arterial road, to minimize disturbances to area residents; such that area residents can conveniently access the uses by means of walking, cycling, public transit or motor vehicle; and in proximity to a transit stop. The Secondary Plan shall encourage and support, where appropriate, 1.6.6. private, public and non-profit housing developments designed to provide a variety of housing options for seniors including small ownership dwellings, higher density condominium dwellings, building with rental units, as well as developments that facilitate "aging-in-place". Page 782 of 827 New residential buildings should incorporate universal physical access 1.6.7. features and follow the accessibility requirements as set out by the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act. Residential development abutting the Natural Heritage System shall be 1.6.8. oriented and developed in a manner that is compatible, complimentary, and supportive of the natural heritage features and ecological functions of the system. All residential development shall be consistent with the Grand Niagara 1.6.9. Urban Design Guidelines and, as per Policy 1.11 of this Plan, submit an Urban Design Brief as a component of a development application. Affordable Housing 1.7. The Secondary Plan supports the provision of affordable housing as defined by the Province of Ontario. Affordable housing may be achieved by: Promoting higher density housing forms, where housing is more affordable due to reduce per unit land costs; Building smaller units, where housing is more affordable due to lower development and/or redevelopment costs; Applying government grants and/or subsidies, including land dedication, that will reduce overall development costs; and, Encouraging the development of accessory apartments/secondary suites. The City will work with other government agencies and the private sector, 1.7.1. to promote innovative housing forms, development techniques, and incentives that will facilitate the provision of affordable housing. Affordable housing shall be located in proximity to local community 1.7.2. facilities and existing or potential public transit routes and acti ve transportation facilities. Mixed Use and Employment 1.8. The areas identified as Mixed Use on the Urban Structure Plan (Appendix IX-A), are within the Built-up Area and are subject to the policies of Part 2, Section 1.15.5 of the Official Plan. Mixed Use and Employment development may proceed at any time 1.8.1. subject to the provision of appropriate municipal services, transportation infrastructure, and required approvals. Mixed Use Centres are expected to generate approximately 780 jobs. This 1.8.2. development yield is based on an average Floor Space Index (FSI) of 1.5 Page 783 of 827 and an average building height of 3 storeys, notwithstanding that denser and taller buildings may be permitted. FSI generally refers to the ratio of the gross floor area of all buildings on a lot divided b y the area of the lot on which the buildings are being developed. Employment Area designations are identified on the Urban Structure Plan 1.8.3. (Appendix IX-A) and are expected to generate approximately 3,600 jobs, including existing jobs. This development yield is based on a minimum gross density of approximately 30 jobs per gross hectare for the Employment Areas both within the Built-up Area and in the Greenfield Area. Employment land development is encouraged to proceed concurrently 1.8.4. with residential development in order to create the opportunity to live and work in the same community. Retail and service commercial uses are also encouraged to develop concurrently with residential development to provide residents with shopping and services in proximity. The location of the QEW along the eastern edge of the Secondary Plan 1.8.5. Area has the potential to enhance the area’s accessibility and attractiveness as both a place to live and as a place to locate an industry or business. With this long-term potential in mind, subsequent reviews of this Secondary Plan should consider the Regional allocation of employment projections - both in terms of the amount and the type of employment - to this Secondary Plan Area to accommodate additional employment opportunities, including the substantial potential of the planned Regional Hospital. Front-Ending Agreements 1.9. For the purposes of this Secondary Plan, a front-ending agreement, pursuant to the Development Charges Act, is a financial contract entered into with the City whereby an individual or individuals agree to pay for the installation of infrastructure identified in the Secondary Plan in order to permit development to proceed within the Secondary Plan Area in advance of other benefiting developments paying its share of costs.

The 30 metre buffer may b e increased, or decreased, as a result of further analysis carried out in an Environmental Impact Study. 3.5.7. Linkages and natural corridors that provide a connection between natural heritage features can include valleylands, contiguous woodlands and wetlands, creeks, hedgerows, and service corridors. New development should not interfere with the function of these linkages and corridors and all efforts should be made through design for the enhancement or rehabilitation of natural heritage resource connections. Where specifically defined through an EIS or other natural heritage study or plan linkages and corridors shall be protected through use of an appropriate zone in the City's Zoning By law. 3.5.8. Permitted uses, subject to the results of an Environmental Impact Study, on lands designated Natural Heritage System, may include: Conservation uses; Trails and other associated passive recreational opportunities and facilities that do not require substantial site alterations; and, Existing lawful uses, restricted to their geographic location as of the date of the passing of this Plan. 3.5.9. In addition to those permitted land uses, the extension of existing municipal infrastructure projects where the alignments or locations of those facilities have been established in this Plan, approved Secondary Plans, and Plans of Subdivision require the approval of an Environmental Assessment, and may be permitted within lands designated as Natural Heritage System, subject to the application of specific mitigation measures as set out in an approved Environment Impact Study. 3.5.10. Where development and/or site alteration, as permitted by the policies of this Secondary Plan, is proposed within the Natural Heritage System Designation, the City shall require that an Environmental Impact Study be prepared that demonstrates that there will be no negative impacts on any natural heritage features, or their ecological and hydrological functions 3.5.11. Where an application for development and/or site alteration is of a minor nature, the City in consultation with the Conservation Authority, or any other agency having jurisdiction, may waive the requirement to conduct an Environmental Impact Study, or appropriately scope the study requirements. 3.5.12. Significant changes to the Natural Heritage System Designation may be considered through an Environmental Impact Study, submitted in support of an Official Plan Amendment application. Page 802 of 827 3.5.13. No buildings or structures, nor the removal or placing of fill of any kind whether originating on the site or elsewhere, may be permitted within the Natural Heritage System Designation, except with the approval of the City and the Conservation Authority, where applicable, and any other agency having jurisdiction. 3.5.14. The establishment of any permitted use shall demonstrate no negative impact to the natural heritage feature or the supporting ecological and hydrological functions, as demonstrated through the required Environmental Impact Study. Where a permitted use requires mitigation, the mitigation shall result in no negative impact on the natural herita ge features or their ecological functions. 3.5.15. Where fish habitat and/or the habitat of endangered species and/or the habitat of threatened species are identified, the required Environmental Impact Study shall ensure that all Provincial and Federal requirements have been satisfied. 3.5.16. Measures shall be provided to facilitate wildlife movement within the NHS, i.e., enhanced wildlife crossings to guide small and medium-sized animals through culverts beneath roadways; and a wildlife linkage to connect the NHS portions that are separated by Grassy Brook Road. Enhanced wildlife crossings are identified on Defined Natural Heritage System (Appendix IX-C). 3.5.17. The Natural Heritage System was derived using the detailed environmental information included in the Defined Natural Heritage System (Appendix IX-C) and the Natural Heritage System Features and Functions (Appendix IX-D) to this Secondary Plan. 3.5.18. The Natural Heritage System has been defined through an environmental review as part of this Secondary Plan process. Some non-significant features and anthropogenic features and associated their functions will be removed and compensation for these lands will be provided to the satisfaction of the City, in consultation with, the Region and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority (NPCA). Where a negative impact is unavoidable, then the City at its sole discretion, and in consultation with the Conservation Authority and any other agency having jurisdiction, may accept a compensatory mitigation approach. Where compensatory mitigation is proposed, it must be demonstrated that the mitigation results in no net loss of the natural heritage feature and/or its ecological and hydrological functions. Compensation of wetlands identified as Provincially significant wetlands in the Natural Heritage System Features and Functions (Appendix IX -D) is not permitted. Page 803 of 827 The compensation program will be confirmed through the execution of a restoration and compensation agreement between the City and the landowner. The agreement shall address the following: Provision for the removal of certain natural heritage features within the Secondary Plan Area consistent with Schedule A-4(a) Natural Heritage Removal Plan and the Ecological Restoration Plan Savanta, February, 2017; Provision for the compensation of these features either on land within or outside of the Secondary Plan Area; Compensation permitted in a manner that is consistent with Schedule A-4(b) Natural Heritage Rehabilitation Plan and Ecological Restoration Plan Savanta, February, 2017; The identification of compensation lands; The preparation of a detailed restoration/enhancement plan; A description of works related to environmental restoration and/or enhancements and the timing of these works; The completion and establishment of restoration works prior to the removal of any existing natural heritage features; The requirement for a Work Permit regarding the compensation of any feature regulated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority; A detailed, multi-year monitoring plan of the compensation/ restoration works; and The securement of compensation through the provision of a Letter of Credit submitted to the City. 3.5.19. The lands identified for restoration will be designated in an appropriate Environmental Protection category in the Offici al Plan and zoned to an appropriate Environmental Protection zone to ensure the long-term protection of the compensation/restoration works. General EPA and ECA Policies 3.6. Development and site alteration, where permitted under the following designations, shall be subject to the natural heritage system policies of Section 3.5. 3.6.1. An Environmental Impact Study is required for the creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and structures requiring approval under the Planning Act on lands adjacent to an EPA or an ECA designation. Adjacent lands are defined as: l15m from NPCA Regulated Wetlands less than 2ha in size and creeks outside the flood plain; 30m from Non-Provincially Significant Wetlands; 50m from Provincially Significant Life ANSIs, Earth and Life Science ANSIs and Significant Woodlands; and, Page 804 of 827 120m from Provincially Significant Wetlands and NPCA Regulated Wetlands greater than, or equal to, 2 ha. 3.6.2. The limits of the EPA and ECA designations and their adjacent lands may be expanded or reduced from time to time as new environmental mapping and studies are produced by the Ministry of Natural Resources or the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority or through site specific applications where produced by qualified environmental consultants and approved by the appropriate authority. 3.6.3. A holding provision may be utilized through the City's Zoning By law to require the completion and approval of an environmental impact study prior to any development or site alteration on adjacent lands. The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority shall be consulted regarding the removal of any Holding provisions. 3.6.4. Essential public uses of a linear nature including utilities, communication facilities and transportation routes may be permitted to extend through an EPA or ECA designation, or within adjacent lands, where an Environmental Assessment for the proposed use has been approved under Provincial or Federal legislation. Environmental Protection Areas (EPA) 3.7. The EPA designation shall apply to Provincially Significant Wetlands, NPCA regulated wetlands greater than 2ha in size, Provincially Significant Life Science ANSIs, significant habitat of threatened and endangered species, floodways and erosion hazard areas and environmentally sensitive areas. 3.7.1. Development or site alteration shall not be permitted in the EPA designation except where it has been approved by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority or other appropriate authority, for the following: forest, fish and wildlife management; conservation and flood or erosion projects where it has been demonstrated that they are necessary in the public interest and other alternatives are not available; small scale, passive recreational uses and accessory uses such as trails, board walks, footbridges, fences, docks and picnic facilities that will not interfere with natural heritage features or their functions. 3.7.2. Minor expansions to an existing legal nonconforming use within the EPA designation may be permitted through an application pursuant to th e Planning Act where the City is satisfied that there will be no negative impact on a natural heritage feature or its ecological function. Expansions that result in a substantial intensification in land use or increase in footprint shall require an Environmental Impact Study as part of a complete application. Page 805 of 827 3.7.3. A minimum vegetated buffer established by an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) shall be maintained around Provincially Significant Wetlands and Niagara Peninsula Conservation Area Wetlands greater than 2 ha in size. The precise extent of the vegetated buffer will be determined through an approved EIS and may be reduced or expanded. New development or site alteration within the vegetated buffer is not permitted. Expansion, alteration or the addition of an accessory use in relation to an existing use within the buffer may be permitted, subject to an approved EIS, where: the expansion or accessory use is not located closer to the edge of the provincially significant wetland than the existing use; and the expansion or accessory use cannot be located elsewhere on the lot outside of the designated buffer area 3.7.4. Natural hazard lands, including floodplains and erosion hazards, are included within the EPA designation because of their inherent risks to life and property. Natural hazard lands where identified by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority or any study required under this Plan, shall be placed within an appropriate zoning category in the City's Zoning By law. Development or site alteration may be permitted within or adjacent to floodplains or erosion hazards subject to written approval from the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. Environmental Conservation Areas (ECA) 3.8. The Environmental Conservation Areas designation contains significant woodlands, significant valleylands, significant wildlife habitat, fish habitat, significant Life and Earth Science ANSIs, sensitive ground water areas, and locally significant wetlands or NPCA wetlands less than 2ha in size. 3.8.1. Permitted uses within the ECA designation shall include forest, fish and wildlife management; conservation and flood or erosion projects where it has been demonstrated that they are necessary in the public interest and other alternatives are not available; small scale, passive recreational uses and accessory uses such as trails, board walks, footbridges, fences, docks and picnic facilities that will not interfere with natural heritage features or their functions; uses ancillary to the uses listed above including: parking areas, interpretive centres, conservation area shelters, essential utility structures and other related uses that are compatible with the ECA designation; where such works have been approved by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority or other appropriate authority. 3.8.2. Minor expansions to an existing legal non-conforming use within the ECA designation may be permitted through an application pursuant to the Page 806 of 827 Planning Act where the City is satisfied that there will be no negative impact on a natural heritage feature or its ecological function. Expansions that result in a substantial intensification in land use or an increase in footprint shall require an Environmental Impact Study as part of a complete application. 3.8.3. It is the intent of the ECA designation to provide for the protection of natural heritage features while recognizing that the extent of the designation may be further refined through on site study. Where it has been demonstrated through an approved Environmental Impact Study that an area currently designated ECA does not meet the criteria for that designation, in whole or in part, the policies of the adjacent land use designation shall apply provided that the EIS has successfully demonstrated that the proposed use will not have an adverse impact on the features or functions of the remaining ECA or their adjacent lands. In such circumstances an amendment to this Plan is not required however the change shall be implemented through an amendment to the City's Zoning By law. 3.8.4. Valleylands are identified through mapping of the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority. A minimum vegetated setback from the top of bank shall be established through the implementing zoning by law based on site specific conditions in accordance with the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority Regulations. Where development or site alteration is proposed within or adjacent to a significant valleyland and ownership of the valleyland or flood plain is not assumed by the City or other public agency, the City may require the submission of a detailed site grading p lan for any new lot prior to the issuance of a Building Permit as a condition of development.
