In the Cemetery Services Delivery Review, presented in 2012, it was recommended that continued development of the Columbarium Garden would offer visitors options for the disposition of their loved one's cremated remains. Presently, options available to families are limited as the existing columbaria quickly fill. As such, Cemetery Services is once again proposing to install one new 72 niche domed columbarium and associated landscaping in 2019, with additional units being installed on a bi-annual basis in order to remain ahead of the continued growth of cremation vs. full body interments. At the current prices, the sale of 72 columbarium niches, results in nearly 200% return on investment (i.e. $75,000 invested results in approximately $144,000 of niche sales). 61 Page 109 of 331 Department CEMETERIES & PARKS Priority (1-3)1 Project Name McBain CC Spray Pad Surface & Trail Included in 10 year y Capital Plan (y/n) Project I.D. #New Project Description To replace the existing safety surface on the spray pad and complete pathway / trail improvements to the existing path system that is deteriorating condition.

This project also included the development of the new Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and as well as a new Field of Honour. The project was recognized nationally as one of the most extensive restorations to two fields of honour. Impressed with the work completed in 2017, the Federal Government approached Niagara Falls Cemetery Services in 2018 to propose a five year action plan which would assist in the restoration of Veteran and War Dead Memorials not located in the Fields of Honour. The Federal Government has indicated that $15,000 will be spent on Veteran & War Dead Memorials in Niagara Falls Cemeteries beginning in 2018. It is proposed that, beginning in 2019, the City of Niagara Falls match the Federal funding in an effort to restore as many of the over 300 identified memorials located outside of the Fields of Honour.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Planning, Building & Development SUBJECT: PBD-2019-06 AM-2018-019, Zoning By-law Amendment Application 6666 Mountain Road Applicant: Emilie and Brian Wetherall Agent: Peter Colosimo RECOMMENDATION That Council approve the Zoning By-law amendment application to rezone the lands to Residential 1E Density zone (R1E) to allow creation of 11 new lots for single detached dwellings. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Emilie and Brian Wetherall have submitted a Zoning By-law Amendment application for the property known as 6666 Mountain Road. The applicant is proposing to sever the subject lands to create new lots for single detached dwellings in several phases. In the first phase, consent applications will be filed to allow creation of 6 new lots fronting onto Marinelli Drive. Later phases will involve the creation of 3 additional lots fronting onto Marinelli Drive and 2 additional lots fronting onto an extension of Lucia Drive. The lands are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting the lands to be rezoned to the Residential 1E Density zone (R1E), which permits single detached dwellings. Planning staff recommends the application, for the following reasons:  The proposal complies with Provincial and Regional policies as the proposal represents an efficient use of urban serviced land and existing infrastructure and will also aid the City in meeting its 40% intensification targets for the Built-Up Area;  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 Plan encourages the development of vacant land and under-utilized parcels for more efficient use;  The requested zoning will ensure compatibility with the established neighbourhood;  The existing and planned infrastructure can support the proposed development; and  The proposed development will assist in providing in contributing to the City’s required short-term housing supply. Page 200 of 331 2 PBD-2019-06 February 26, 2018 BACKGROUND Proposal Emilie and Brian Wetherall have requested a Zoning By-law amendment for a 0.71 hectare parcel of land known as 6666 Mountain Road, shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to permit the creation for 11 new lots for single detached dwellings in several phases. In the first phase, consent applications will be filed to allow creation of 6 new lots fronting onto Marinelli Drive. Later phases will involve the creation of 3 additional lots fronting onto Marinelli Drive and 2 additional lots fronting onto an extension of Lucia Drive. Schedule 2 shows details of the proposal. The lands are currently zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting the zoning to be changed to a Residential IE Density (R1E) zone. Site Conditions Surrounding Land Uses The subject lands currently contain a single detached dwelling known as 6666 Mountain Road. Lands to the east, west and north contain single detached dwellings. The Haulage Road Recreational Trail abuts the southerly limit of the subject lands. Circulation Comments  Regional Municipality of Niagara - The lands are located within the Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and within the Built-Up Area under 2017 Places to Grow, for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). The PPS directs growth to settlement areas and encourages efficient use of land, resources, infrastructure, and public service facilities that are planned or available. The proposal meets the intent of the Provincial policy through the introduction of additional dwellings in the neighbourhood. The proposed development will also aid the City in meeting the 40% intensification target for the Built -up Area. - The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and the Regional Official Plan (ROP) provide direction for the conservation of significant cultural heritage and archaeological resources. A Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment dated September 12, 2018, prepared by Detritus Consulting Ltd was submitted with the application. The study area for the assessment includes the lands south of Lot 1. No archaeological resources were documented during Stage 2 assessment and therefore no further archaeological assessment is required for the study area. The A Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment has been submitted to the Ministry of Tourism , Culture and Sports (MTCS) as a condition of licensing. As a letter from the Ministry confirming that all licensing and resource conservation requirements have been met has not been received, the applicant shall not proceed with any site alteration until the clearance letter from the Ministry is submitted to the Region. Further, if the applicant wishes to develop lands north of Lot 1, a subsequent archaeological assessment would be required. This requirement can also, be dealt with at the consent stage. Page 201 of 331 3 PBD-2019-06 February 26, 2018 - Regional staff has reviewed the noise feasibility studies recently completed for other development proposal located in the vicinity of subject lands. Based on finding of the reports, Region has determined that there are no mitigation measured are required for the proposed development. - The subject lands are currently being used for residential purposes. Based on the review of aerial images from 1954-1955, it seems that a portion of the property was previously used for agricultural purposes, potentially fruit trees. The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) has found contaminants (e.g. lead and arsenic) exceeding Provincial limits in agricultural uses where older-generation pesticides may have been used in the past. As such, the Region identifies the potential for adverse effects, as defined in the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Prior to proceeding with any residential activity on the subject lands the site shall be assessed for potential contaminants and remediated as necessary, followed by the filing of Record of Site Condition if needed. The Region would accept an opinion from a Qualified Person under the regulation of the EPA as to whether there is potential for contaminants on this site, prior to proceeding with lot creation. - The subject property has frontage on Regional Road 101 (Mountain Road). This section of road has a substandard road allowance of approximately 23.15 metres. The designated road allowance is 26.2 metres as identified in the Regional Official Plan (ROP). As part of future consent application the Region would request a 3.05 metre road widening. - Any extension of municipal sanitary or storm sewer (extension of Lucia Drive) will require Environmental Compliance Approval through MECP.  Municipal Works, Transportation Services, Parks Design, Fire Services - No objections. Neighbourhood Open House A neighbourhood open house was held on November 15, 2018 and was attended by 6 residents, the applicant, a representative of the applicant and City staff. The residents voiced concerns regarding the proposed lots being smaller than the existing lots on the east side of Marinelli Drive. They mentioned the smaller lots are not compatible with the existing lot fabric and the proposal will result in reduction in the property value of their homes. The residents mentioned that the proposed lots should be rezoned to the same Residential 1C Density (R1C) zone that exists on the east side of Marinelli Drive, instead of the requested Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone, which allows smaller lots. The residents also raised concern regarding the additional traffic that would be generated by the proposed development. One resident wanted to know about the size of the proposed dwellings, out of concern as that they may impact the value of their homes. One resident (6680 Mountain Road) requested installation of a fence along the common property lines between her property and the proposed development. Page 202 of 331 4 PBD-2019-06 February 26, 2018 The applicant’s agent mentioned that the proposed land use is compatible with the existing residential development as both the developments consists of single detached dwellings. He further mentioned that the building setback for the requested Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone (e.g. front yard depth, interior side yard with, height of the dwellings etc.) is the same as the existing Residential 1C Density (R1C) zone existing on the east side of Marinelli Drive. As such the streetscape and the built form along Marinelli Drive would be maintained. Regarding the size of the dwellings, the applicant’s agent mentioned that the dwellings will be similar to the surrounding neighbourhoods. He also mentioned that his client is requesting the same zoning as was recently approved for the Terravita subdivision located east of Marinelli Drive. Regarding the request for the installation of a new fence; the agent mentioned that his client would not be installing a fence along the common lot lines and it would be up to the future property owner to install the fence. City staff mentioned that typically the zoning by-law does not require installation of a fence between two single detached dwellings . Staff also mentioned that Mountain Road is a Regional arterial road, which has the capacity to carry large volumes of traffic. As the volume of traffic generated by the proposed development is not significant, the Region has not requested the applicant to complete a traffic impact study. 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 within urban areas to help meet intensification targets. The subject lands are located within the Settlement Area under the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) and within the Built-Up Area under the Growth Plan. The subject lands are currently underutilized. The proposed development is a form of residential intensification promoted by the Province and will aid the City in achieving the 40% intensification target within the Built-Up Area. 2. Official Plan The subject lands are designated Residential in the City’s Official Plan. The Plan contains a hierarchy of density guidelines for different types of residential development. The Plan allows the development of a variety of housing types, including single and semi-detached dwellings, street townhouses, block townhouses and other compatible housing forms up to a maximum density of 40 units per hectare with a minimum density of 20 units per hectare along local and collector roads. The density of the project is 20.75 units per hectare. The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding low-density residential land uses. The proposed development is adjacent to Mountain Road which is an arterial road, intended to carry higher traffic volumes. The proposed development will assist the City in meeting future housing needs in this district. As such, the development is considered to be in compliance with the Official Plan. Page 203 of 331 5 PBD-2019-06 February 26, 2018 3. Zoning By-law Amendment The lands affected by the zoning amendment are zoned Development Holding (DH), in accordance with Zoning By-law No. 79-200. The applicant is requesting the zoning be changed to a Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone. The proposal would comply with all the regulations of the R1E zone. The proposal to rezone the lands Residential 1E Density (R1E) zone is compatible with the lands located on the east side of Marinelli Drive which are zoned Residential 1C Density (R1C) zone. Mentioned below is a chart showing comparison between R1E and R1C zone Regulations R1E zone R1C zone Minimum lot area 370 sq. m (interior lot) 450 sq. m (corner lot) 550 sq. m Minimum lot frontage 12 m (interior lot) 15 m (corner lot) 15 m (interior lot ) 18 m (corner lot) Minimum front yard depth 6 m 6 m Minimum rear yard depth 7.5 m 7.5 m Interior side yard width 1.2 m 1.2 m Exterior side yard width 4.5 m 4.5 m Lot coverage 45% 45% Minimum landscaped open space 30% 30% Maximum height of the building 10 m 10 m Maximum number of detached dwellings per lot 1 1 The proposal to rezone the subject lands to R1E zone can be supported as:  As the building setbacks are same for both the zones the built-form for single detached dwellings on both east and west side of Marinelli Drive will be the same.  The 6 metre front yard setback for the existing and proposed dwellings will achieve the consistent streetscape for Marinelli Drive.  There is a minor difference of 3 metres in the lot frontage requirements of the two zones which would not be perceivable from the street.  The lot area provision of the by-law is to ensure adequate amenity area in provided on-site and built-form is compatible with the surrounding land uses. A reduction in the lot area would have no impact on the provision of outdoor amenity area as the applicant is proposing to provide a generous rear yard of 7.5 metres for outdoor amenity area, which is also consistent with R1C zone.  Lastly, Council has recently approved R1E zoning for Terravita subdivision which is currently under construction and is located east of the subject lands. Page 204 of 331 6 PBD-2019-06 February 26, 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 development supports the Vibrant and Well Planned City Strategic Priority.

The proposed zoning will change the established character of the neighbourhood and further it does not offer any sort of transitioning or gradation in density as the houses will be directly across the street from large custom homes. It is recognized that the proposed zoning on the subject lands is the same zoning that was approved for a development to the east known as Terravita. Although this is factual, the Terravita subdivision offers a level of transition from the lower density neighbourhood as the lots are back to back rather than directly across from each other. The lots in Terravita range in size providing a variety of lots sizes which also offers a level of transition from the existing neighbourhood into the higher density area to the east. The existing built form of the neighbourhood should be considered to see whether it exhibits a reasonably uniform building scale and spacing. New development should be compatible and respect the existing physical character of the neighbourhood. The character of a neighbourhood is generally described as the look and feel of an area. The established look and feel of Marinelli and Lucia Drive is based on generous lot frontage and areas creating a sense of openness. The large front yards and large separations between buildings provide a large setback and greenspace along the street which cannot be provided with smaller lots as the majority of the lot will be driveway, reducing the amount of front yard space on the lot. The massing of the existing buildings on Marinelli range from bungalows to two storeys but are all of similar size and massing, with large building envelopes, which contributes to the high end character of this streetscape. Based on our review of the Zoning By‐law Amendment materials submitted by Peter Colosimo, we believe that the application to rezone the subject lands fails to consider the surrounding context, does not offer any transition or gradation in density and does not consider some of the applicable land use policies as outlined below. Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 The Provincial Policy Statement (“PPS”) is the statement of the government of Ontario’s high level policies on land use planning. The PPS applies province wide and provides policy direction on land use planning. The PPS is issued under Section 3 of the Planning Act and all decisions affecting land use planning matters “shall be consistent with” the PPS. The PPS focuses growth and development within urban areas which is to be carefully managed to accommodate appropriate development to meet the current and future needs. The PPS encourages an appropriate range and mix of residential housing (1.1.1 b) – PPS) and encourages efficient development and land use patterns (1.1.1 a) – PPS). From a land use planning perspective the proposed Zoning By‐law Amendment is not believed to be consistent with the PPS as it is not an appropriate mix of housing when considering the Page 210 of 331 Page | 4 context of the existing neighbourhood. The application fails to address the appropriateness of the proposal in relation to the established neighbourhood character. Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017 The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (“Growth Plan”) is a long term plan that provides a high level framework for growth management in the region. All decisions made under the Planning Act shall conform with and not conflict with the Growth Plan. The Growth Plan encourages intensification within the urban/built boundary. The Growth Plan indicates that the municipality should develop a strategy to achieve the minimum intensification target and intensification throughout the delineated built‐up area that will encourage intensification generally to achieve the desired urban structure and to identify the appropriate type and scale of development and transition of built form to adjacent areas (2.2.2 (4) (a) (b)). The Growth Plan charges municipalities with the responsibility to identify strategic growth areas to support the achievement of the intensification target and recognize them as a key focus for development (2.2.2(4) (c)). These areas are to be implemented through official plan policies and designations, updated zoning and other supporting documents (2.2.2 (4) (f)). The Zoning By‐law Amendment application fails to address how the application is the appropriate type and scale of development in relation to the established character of the neighbourhood and it fails to provide a transition from the existing built form that exists directly across the street and in the larger neighbourhood. The subject lands are also not located in an area identified as a strategic growth area or as an area that will be the key focus for development as required by the Growth Plan. For the above noted reasons, it is believed that the proposed Zoning By‐law Amendment application does not conform to and conflicts with the Growth Plan. Region of Niagara Official Plan, 2014 The Regional Official Plan (“ROP”) is the long‐range community planning document used to guide development in the Region. The Regional Official Plan implements the PPS and the Growth Plan policies. All decisions made under the Planning Act shall conform to the Regional Official Plan. According to the ROP the subject lands are defined as the built‐up area where the majority of growth is to occur over the long‐term. The ROP requires the municipality to develop and implement through its local official plan a strategy to establish intensification areas. The identified intensification areas are to support the achievement of the intensification targets set by the Region (4.C.2.1). The residential intensification target for the City of Niagara Falls is 40% of annual development is to occur in the built‐up area. The City of Niagara Falls is one of the few municipalities that is afforded with an expansive urban boundary providing great opportunity for future development. There is an abundant amount of land left within the municipality where the density/intensification targets can be spread out and allocated to areas where it is more appropriate and there are opportunities for transition and gradation. Page 211 of 331 Page | 5 The Zoning By‐law Amendment application fails to address the appropriateness of the density and scale of development that would be permitted if the by‐law was approved. The application does not address transition and gradation from the lower density community to the east. The subject lands are also not part of an identified intensification area according to the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan, where higher densities are to be directed in order to achieve the City’s growth targets. It is on this basis that the application does not conform to the ROP. City of Niagara Falls Official Plan, 2017 The subject lands are designated as Residential according to Schedule A – Land Use Plan in the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan (“OP”), which permits a variety of housing types. Although the Zoning By‐law Amendment is consistent in providing a variety of housing types, the application fails to address critical land use issues including compatibility and appropriateness of development in relation to the existing context. The Official Plan seeks to permit increased densities, where appropriate (Section 2 (3)). The Official Plan permits residential intensification but it requires an amendment to the plan whereby the individual proposals can be publicly assessed (Section 3.1). We are not aware that the proponent has initiated an amendment to the plan as required by the plan in Section 3.1. Part 2, Section 1.5 of the OP requires that development and redevelopment of residential lands in the City shall primarily be by plan of subdivision. It is understood that it is not the intention of the proponent to create the lots through a plan of subdivision but rather through 13 applications for consent to sever to the Committee of Adjustment. This section of the OP goes on to say that consents to sever individual parcels of land shall only be permitted when it can be demonstrated that a plan of subdivision is not necessary to implement the policies of this Plan. The Zoning By‐law Amendment fails to demonstrate that a plan of subdivision is not necessary. There are a number of issues that should be reviewed and addressed for this scale of development. We do not feel that all of the possible issues including the protection of public rights can be addressed through a simple consent to sever process. We feel that advancing this development through a simple consent process will circumvent several important requirements that a plan of subdivision would address. One issue that a plan of subdivision will require is that the proponent undertakes and application for Land Titles Absolute (“LTA”). Putting the lands into LTA will ensure that legal property lines are confirmed and become final. This is not a requirement under a consent process and could leave unresolved property lines disputes up to individual land owners to have to undertake at their own expense. The OP also speaks to retaining the character of existing neighbourhoods within the built‐up area requiring new development to blend into the lot fabric, streetscape and built form of a neighbourhood (1.15.1). The OP encourages a gradation of building heights and densities to ensure complementary arrangement of residential uses (1.15.2). The OP encourages various housing forms that are not mixed indiscriminately but that are arranged in a gradation of building heights and densities (1.15.5). New housing forms are to be of a height, massing and provide setbacks that are in character with the surrounding neighbourhood (1.15.5 (i)). The zoning application fails to demonstrate how these policies are being addressed. It is our opinion Page 212 of 331 Page | 6 that the proposal does not adequately address the character policies of the OP as there is no density transition proposed. The OP also includes policies that are specific to the method in which certain types of development proposals are to be processed. The OP indicates that development of land shall generally proceed by a registered plan of subdivision in accordance with Section 51 of the Planning Act and alternatively consents to sever will be discouraged and only be permitted when it is clearly not needed to ensure the intent of the plan is satisfied (Section 7). The purpose of proceeding by way of subdivision is to ensure a comprehensive review of the development proposal including consideration for items of provincial interest, conformity with planning documents and the public interest (7.1). The OP goes further to say that development of more than two parcels of land from an original property shall proceed by plan of Subdivision (7.2). Exceptions can be considered where lands front onto an existing open public road constructed to municipal standards. While this is true for the 9 proposed lots on Marinelli, the three proposed lots on Lucia and the creation of a public road allowance through consent would not be in the public interest and does not conform to the policies of the OP. The OP also contains policies related to applications for consent. The OP indicates that in situations where it is clearly not necessary or in the public interest, development can proceed by consent to the Committee of Adjustment rather than through a plan of subdivision (Section 8). At the information meeting there were concerns raised by the public in relation to a property boundary disagreement with a neighbour to the west. It is our opinion that proceeding by way of consent to create the proposed lots and road is not in the public interest as it would not resolve this property line issue and the owner of the lands to west would have to address his issue on their own. Section 8.1.3 of the OP says that consents will only be permitted when the land fronts on a public road which is of an acceptable standard of construction. The development proposal goes beyond this scope as it includes the creation and development of a new road, an extension of Lucia Drive. Creating this road through a consent application does not conform to the policies of the OP. The scale of development that is proposed through this application should proceed by way of a plan of subdivision process with Council approval. Through the plan of subdivision process the proposed development can be reviewed in a more fulsome manner, ensuring all development concerns and requirements can be met and will be adequately secured. It is not common to see 12 new lots and the creation of a new public road through a Committee of Adjustment process. In fact the policies of the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan do not permit this type of process to be implemented for this scale of development as outlined in the previous section of this letter. Approving the creation of a new road and 12 new lots through a consent process, rather than a comprehensive subdivision process would not be consistent with the City of Niagara Falls Official Plan policies. This will also not afford the City an opportunity to review the development plan comprehensively looking at and addressing a wider variety of development issues including the public interest. Page 213 of 331 Page | 7 City of Niagara Falls Zoning By‐law No. 79‐200 The development proposal before you is a request to zone the lands to an R1E zone which is a more compact and higher density zone than the R1C zone that exists across the street on Marinelli and Lucia. The proposed zone would permit the development of lots with a minimum lot frontage of 12 metres for an interior lot and 15 metres for an end lot. The lot frontage in the proposed zone is 3 metres smaller than what is permitted on the other side of the road. The zone permits a minimum lot area of 370 square metres, which is 180 square meters smaller than the smallest lot on the other side of the road. The application is also seeking to further reduce the lot area permitted a minimum lot size of 368 square metres. The proposed compact lots would have a negative impact on the existing character of the neighbourhood as it would permit dwellings that are much smaller directly across the street from large custom homes. The proposed lots are not larger enough to provide the same generous front yard setback as the dwelling across the street which will change the established streetscape on Marinelli Drive. The established character of Marinelli Drive and Lucia Drive is of a high end nature, look and feel. The character of this area is defined by the built form and the large lots with generous building setbacks. It is felt that the neighbourhood character cannot be maintained with the introduction of more compact lots and built form right across the street from these homes. Typically when higher density zones are established, there is a transition area, or buffer provided, where the density is slowly graded down or there is a defining feature providing a separation in order to minimize negative impacts, similar to what is provided in the Terravita subdivision to the east. The higher density development across the road from the lower density custom homes does not provide any transition or defining buffer. The Planning Justification Report that was submitted in support of the zoning amendment points to the fact that the proposed zoning is consistent with the zoning that was approved for the Terravita Subdivision located in close proximity to the subject lands. The development proposal before Council cannot be compared to Terravita because the proposed development does not have a separation or transition from the existing custom homes. Conclusion Based on a review of the zoning amendment application and based on the understanding that the proposed development is intended to proceed by way of consent approval by Committee of Adjustment, it is our opinion that the zoning application will facilitate a future development approval process that is not in the best interest of the public and fails to ensure a comprehensive review and approval process will take place. The zoning amendment application is not consistent with the PPS, it does not conform and it conflicts with the Growth Plan and it does not conform to the ROP or the OP because the application fails to address the existing neighbourhood context to ensure that the established character of the neighbourhood is not negatively impacted. Further the application does not conform to the local official plan policies in terms of how it is proposed to be implemented (ie. through consent, rather than plan of subdivision). The implementation of small compact lots on the west side of Marinelli Drive and on the south side of Lucia will be contrastingly different than the established lots in the Page 214 of 331 Page | 8 neighbou Smaller neighbou the impa Sincerely Jennifer V Manager Upper Ca Cc: Bi A Fr Er urhood, whi lots across urhood and t act. y, Vida, MCIP, r of Land Use anada Consu ill Matson, Act lex Herlovitch, red Costabile, ric Henry, Fruit ch will sign from and they do not RPP e Planning ultants ing City Clerk, Director of Pla Fruitbelt Deve tbelt Developm ificantly cha beside larg offer any le via email anning, via em lopment via em ment via email ange the ex ger lots wi vel of transi mail mail xisting chara ill detract f tion of grad acter of this from the c ation, which neighbourh character of h would min hood. f the imize Page 215 of 331 1 Bill Matson From:jeandesson <chickdesson@gmail.com> Sent:Wednesday, December 5, 2018 2:42 PM To:Alex Herlovitch; Bill Matson Subject:Fwd: Re-zoning of 6666 Mountain Road ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: jeandesson <chickdesson@gmail.com> Date: Wed, Dec 5, 2018 at 2:31 PM Subject: Re: Re-zoning of 6666 Mountain Road To: <councilmembers@niagarafalls.ca> Re: Application for Re-zoning of 6666 Mountain Road City File: AM-2018-019 To Counsel, I wish to submit my concerns regarding the Rezoning application of 6666 Mountain Road. I live at 6680 Mountain Rd., which is adjacent to the applicant’s property to the West. The rezoning application indicates 8-9 lots will abut my property. In all probability homes constructed on these small lots will consist of two – three stories which will overlook my property and completely eradicate any privacy I have enjoyed for 48 years. These houses will also block sun for my garden. I have operated a fruit/veggie stand for many years at the front of my house, resulting in my livelihood being negatively impacted. IF this application is granted, l would request the following in order to ensure respect for privacy of my home/land/garden. 1. A fence extending from the current fence on the west side of the applicant’s property to the end at the Haulage Trail. This will form a barrier for all new house construction, backyards of which will abut my property. 2. This fence must be erected prior to any construction on the applicant’s property in order to prevent trespassing and potential damages caused by construction materials and vehicles. 3. The removal of existing unmaintained trees along the west side of applicant’s property. These trees have large rotting branches and limbs that blow off routinely and fall onto my property. It has become a safety issue. Page 216 of 331 2 4. A row of privacy trees (tall cedars) to be planted along the west property line to replace the removed old trees and to provide privacy as well as a noise buffer. I trust these concessions are reasonable requests as they were granted for residents abutting the area Terre Vita/Kenmore development. I request these considerations are addressed and included in Counsel’s decision on this application. A Petition and input from area residents regarding this application will be forthcoming.

Also attached is a Petition signed by residents of Marinelli,Colangelo and Lucia Drives requesting consideration to amend the rezoning application for the land of 6666 Mountain Road located on the West side of Marinelli Dr.to R1C rather than the R1E.These signatures comprise 100%of contacted residents,with 4 homes having no response on numerous visits. The Applicant's representative openly stated at the Notice of Application and Open House on November 15"‘,2018 that their request is to have the entire property rezoned to R1E to permit 10 parcels,and after the rezoning is granted,the Applicant's intention is to apply for two additional parcels of land within the rezoned property.These additional parcels are not presently reflected in the present application as the Applicant will not meet the criteria for the R1E zoning,which is extremely misleading. We are mindful that densification is a priority of the City,we respectfully suggest that your consideration for our request should take into account the density of the entire neighbourhood which includes the new Terre Vita /KenmoreDevelopment of 80 homes. We request your favourable consideration to rezone of the subject lands to R1C zoning.

We understand that City staff has written a report recommending approval of our application that we would like you to support. We are also aware that there are some concerns expressed by neighbours that we feel we should address. We are lifelong residents of Niagara Falls and have resided at our Mountain Road home for over 40 years. Since we are retirees and given the fact that our nearly 2 acre property is becoming increasingly difficult to manage, we’d like to rezone our property for future residential purposes as part of our estate planning and our family’s future. While we are not in a hurry to sell our land for development, we would like to at least have the zoning in place at this time. Several residents attended a previous Open House held by City staff and raised concerns as they believe future lots for single detached homes will be too small and their property values will be impacted. A petition was also circulated to Councillors requesting an “R1C” zone for larger parcels which would result in the loss of 3 lots for our future development. We believe some of the information circulated is not accurate and that their request is unreasonable. However, in an effort to resolve these concerns we have revised our original plan to demonstrate how lots could be created in the future by eliminating one lot under the R1E zone we have requested. We believe this is an appropriate compromise for several reasons. We have witnessed development take place that has transformed this once rural area into a residential neighbourhood comprised of a range of residential uses with various sizes of lots and homes. Most recently the Terravita subdivision approved by Council to the east, which includes much smaller lots and revised zoning regulations. All of the lots we are proposing will meet or exceed all of the City’s minimum R1E standards. In fact, lots will be at least 5,000 square feet in area with frontages of nearly 44 feet which are larger than most of the lots in the Terravita plan. Although these lots may be narrower than across the street on Marinelli Drive, they can accommodate similarly sized dwellings that will be compatible. We have also been advised that potential development west of our property will likely be for townhouses or apartments since it is not possible to provide access for another public street off of Mountain Road. It is also important to emphasize that City staff fully supports our application. For these reasons, the R1E zone we have requested is appropriate and should be approved by Council. We also understand that our next door neighbour (Ms. Desson) has requested that a fence be built along the entire length of the property and that trees be removed. We believe this request is totally unreasonable since we have already constructed a fence along a good portion of our property and we would like to retain as many trees as possible. Page 223 of 331 Unfortunately we cannot attend the Public Meeting on February 26th as we will be out of the country. However, our children will be there as well as our agent/planning consultant Peter Colosimo to make a presentation and answer any questions.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources SUBJECT: Staff/Council Relations, and Pregnancy and Parental Leave of Members of Council Policies RECOMMENDATION That Niagara Falls City Council approve the attached Staff/Council Relations, and Pregnancy and Parental Leave for Members of Council policies. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to seek approval of the Staff/Council Relations Policy, and Pregnancy and Parental Leave of Members of Council Policy, as attached, in accordance with Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act. BACKGROUND In accordance with Bill 68, every municipality must pass Staff/Council Relations, and Pregnancy and the Parental Leave of Members of Council policies by March 1, 2019. The City of Niagara Falls promotes a respectful, tolerant, harassment-free relationship and workplace between Members of Council and the officers and employees of the Corporation, guided by the Code of Conduct for Members of Council, the Code of Ethics/Conduct, the Violence/Harassment in the Workplace Policy, and the Procedural By-law. These policies inform the Staff/Council Relations Policy. As noted above, there are a number of policies and codes in place that pertain to the relationship between Council and Staff. Some overlap to a degree, therefore a review of these policies will be undertaken to streamline processes and ensure clarity. The new Pregnancy and Parental Leave of Members of Council Policy acknowledges and recognizes the right of members of Council to take a leave of absence for pregnancy and parental leave, as required an in accordance with Section 270 of the Municipal Act, 2001.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council City of Niagara Falls, Ontario SUBMITTED BY: Transportation Services Department SUBJECT: TS-2019-05 Downtown BIA Request – Reinstatement of Paid Parking RECOMMENDATION 1) That Council approve the installation of pay parking as outlined in this report. 2) That Staff prepare a follow-up report in one year. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Parking Services Division operates a utility style budget that is based on the philosophy that public parking in the City of Niagara Falls will be paid for by the user and is not a burden to the taxpayer. This user pay structure utilizes revenues generated from on-street and off-street paid parking to offset operating and capital costs, keeping the program independent from tax based funding. In 2012, Queen Street was reconstructed with mountable curbs where on-street parking stalls were raised from the road grade. This created a unique condition for snow removal which required smaller more specific equipment for clearing, resulting in the need to hire a private contractor. It was determined that revenue generated by on- street pay parking would offset the cost of snow plowing the unique parking stall layout, without impacting the tax supported budget. In 2015, the Downtown BIA requested the removal of pay parking along Queen Street and Valley Way; in exchange they would contribute $26,000 to offset the cost of snow removal through the BIA’s budget (50%) and the Community Improvement Program (CIP) funding (50%). Since the implementation of the free parking, the Downtown BIA’s annual contribution has been consistently $26,000, even though snow plowing costs have fluctuated (as high as $52,000 in a season). Any costs above the $26,000, have been offset by the non-tax supported Parking Fund; which has resulted in a negative impact on the fund. The Downtown BIA has requested that pay parking be reinstated, due to the fact that they no longer want to allocate funds from the BIA’s budget and do not want the CIP funding used to offset parking maintenance costs. Page 250 of 331 2 TS-2019-05 February 26, 2019 Staff is recommending the re-instatement of Pay Parking in the downtown, as requested by the Downtown BIA, in a phased in approach, starting along Queen Street and Valley Way. The side streets would remain free parking zones (90 minute free parking zone with no re-parking within the zone for 4 hours) as currently by-lawed and would be reviewed in one year. The recommended changes will result in there being 248 free on- street parking spaces and 102 paid on-street parking spaces available to patrons of the Downtown. Technology through the use of smart phones now offers the ability of Downtown Business owners to provide free parking for their patrons either on-street in pay areas or in the Municipal Parking Lots, by purchasing parking for them through the use of our mobile app – “HONK MOBILE”. This technology was not available in 2015. BACKGROUND The Downtown is a zoned as a parking exempt area (By-law 81-199), in that, most land owners are not required to provide onsite parking for customers. To accommodate parking demands,, the City provides and pays for the supply of public on-street and off- street parking. Currently, there are eight (8) Municipal Parking Lots, on-street paid parking spaces, and private parking supplying parking in the Downtown area. - In 2012 Queen Street was reconstructed with a mountable curb style parking structure. The nature of the parking stalls raised from the road grade created a unique condition that required smaller more specific equipment for clearing the parking areas than what Municipal Works could provide during snow clearing events. Parking funds are generated to offset the cost of snow plowing and removal conditions of the on street parking. - In 2013, City Council officially adopted the philosophy that parking in the City of Niagara Falls will be user pay and not a burden to the taxpayer. This user pay structure uses revenues generated from those using the parking services of on street paid parking and off street paid lots to offset the cost of maintenance, and parking machine purchases keeping the program independent from tax based funding. - In 2015, City Council approved the removal of paid parking on Queen Street and the implementation of 90 minute free parking zone with no re-parking within the zone for 4 hours. Patrons who return prior to 4 hours may utilize municipal parking lots at a rate of $2.00 for 4 hours parking. The condition of removing paid parking was approved with the BIA offsetting the cost of snow plowing of the parking spaces along Queen Street due to the mounted curb style parking. This was done through a combination of BIA annual budget and CIP funds at an amount of $26,000.00 ($13,000 from each fund). - In 2018, the Downtown BIA met with City Staff to discuss options for returning to paid parking in the Downtown with a combination of Pay and Display machines and adapting new mobile phone paid parking. Page 251 of 331 3 TS-2019-05 February 26, 2019 ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Parking Services provides parking for customers through a user based system that is free from tax supported funds. The funds are used for operating costs, maintenance, line painting, snow plowing and lot cleaning. In addition, surplus funds, if any, are to be reserved for the replacement of equipment and construction/reconstruction of parking facilities. The Municipal Parking System in the Downtown area accommodates both short term and long term parking requirements of visitors, customers and employees. Area employees and business owners/operators have the option of a leased parking space. Visitors and customers have a mixture of on-street short/medium term free and pay parking options as well as long term pay parking available in municipal parking lots. The best and highest use parking opportunities occur along Queen Street. These parking spaces provide short term parking opportunities for those businesses that require it. The Downtown core currently has approximately 350 on-street parking spaces available and 380 off street parking spaces. The re-instatement of paid parking on Queen Street and Valley Way results in there being 248 free on-street parking spaces and 102 paid on-street parking spaces available to patrons of the Downtown. Staged Implementation A phased installation of paid parking for the Downtown core would be implemented. The initial installation phase would consist of supporting the primary business areas as requested by the Downtown BIA by placing machines along Queen Street and Valley Way. The adjoining side streets would be remain free time limited parking of 90 minutes with no re-parking within 4 hours of initial parking in time limit zone. This plan will be re-evaluated after one year to determine any impacts, such as parking supply demand and /or misuse of parking. Mobile technologies The implementation of pay by phone parking app for the City of Niagara Falls through HONK MOBILE is a resource that could be well utilized by the downtown BIA for supporting parking of customers. The app would allow business owners who have customers with appointments to register the vehicle plate for the parking duration whether on street or in a municipal lot and pay for the parking as a service offered by the business. Honk Mobile also provides the opportunity for business owners to purchase discount codes which can be provided to customers which, when the customer pays for parking using the app, the code would then offset the cost to the individual as the business would pay a portion. Page 252 of 331 4 TS-2019-05 February 26, 2019 Honk Mobile provides excellent opportunities for people to pay for parking without attending an onsite parking machine as well as provides reminders of parking expiries and adding additional time. Parking Services staff will work closely with the Downtown BIA in promotion of the Honk Mobile app to best support its client base. FINANCIAL/STAFFING/LEGAL IMPLICATIONS Implementation of paid parking would be introduced at $2.00 per hour with a maximum duration of 2 hours along Queen Street. Municipal Lots would maintain the existing rate of $2.00 for 4 hours of parking and to be re-evaluated within one year. To reinstate pay parking on Queen Street and Valley Way, new Pay and Display machines are required, as the previous equipment at the time of removal in 2015 was already considered obsolete. An expenditure of $200,000 has been identified in the 2019 Capital Budget for the purchase of parking equipment. There are no financial implications for the use of the Honk Mobile App as it is mobile phone based and does not have direct fees related to the City regarding equipment costs or installation. Labour and material costs for the additional signs along Queen Street and Valley Way to inform individuals to use mobile parking app will be accounted for in the 2019 General Purposes Budget. The average cost of snow plowing over the past 5 years has been $31,000 with individual seasons ranging from $23,000 to $52,000 based on snowfall volumes and snow hauling requirements. The Downtown would no longer be required to contribute funds to offset snow plowing if paid parking is reinstated. CITY’S STRATEGIC COMMITMENT Provide a convenient, cost effective and customer friendly parking system based on the User Pay Philosophy.

As this has been an ongoing discussion with our BIA, a motion #18-27 was made by Karen Stearne, seconded by Wendy Leard at our Tuesday, October 9, 2018 board meeting. The motion to discontinue 90-minute free parking due to escalating costs was carried with only 1 Abstention recorded. Therefore, we would like to request that our intention be presented to City Council to discontinue the 90-minute free parking and move to paid parking on Queen Street. From discussions, we understand that new Pay and Display machines will be required to implement the paid parking criteria. Your assistance in having this presented to City Council before their capital budget review would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Ron Charbonneau, Chair, Downtown Board of Management.

Diodati and Members of Municipal Council SUBMITTED BY: Finance SUBJECT: F-2019-08 Monthly Tax Receivables Report – January 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 January 31, 2019 were $13.5 million compared to $12.1 million in 2018. During January, tax receivables as a percentage of taxes billed increased slightly from 6.4% in 2018 to 6.9% in 2019. The City’s finance staff has begun the collection process for properties that are subject to registration for 2019. 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. ANALYSIS/RATIONALE Tax collection for 2019 lags slightly behind the collection history for 2018. Table 1 shows that taxes outstanding at January 31, 2019 are $13.5 million. This represents an increase from $12.1 million in arrears for the same period in 2018. 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 residential property class has decreased slightly from a year ago, whereas the commercial property class has increased slightly. Finance staff takes specific collection actions for properties that are subject to registration. At January 1, 2019, 293 properties were subject to registration. Table 3 summarizes the progress of these actions after one month of activity. This table shows 33.8% of the tax accounts or 99 properties have been paid in full or the owners have made suitable payment arrangements. During January, twenty-two accounts were paid in full. Finance staff continues to make every effort to have accounts paid in order to avoid the registration process and the associated costs related to that process. Page 256 of 331 2 F-2019-08 February 26, 2019 Table 4 identifies the properties and associated tax arrears scheduled for tax sales in the future. The outstanding taxes for registered properties represents 1.8% of the total taxes to be collected. 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 January 31, 2019 is 6.9% which is a slight increase of the 2018 value of 6.4%. The municipality has a record of full collection and earns significant penalty revenues to offset the higher measure.

Congratulations on an exciting year ahead and I trust that staff will follow up with you with more information as the time comes closer.

I am not sure who I should be contacting about our 25th Anniversary plans that will be happening this year. We would like to do a Flag Raising at Niagara Falls City Hall on the week of June 3rd. We thought this would be a great week to kick off our 25th Anniversary celebrations in Niagara Falls with a flag raising at City Hall. Goodwill Niagara has a nice new store at 6777 Morrison Street.

I just want to also point out that since your letter speaks to implementing solutions like stop arm camera technology I feel I should point out that the City does not have jurisdiction over the school bus companies used to transport students. I’m sure you have reached out to those companies, as well as various school boards. Also, the enforcement resources you speak about are governed at the Upper-Tier level of municipal government here in Niagara. All policing matters fall under the Regional Municipality of Niagara’s control. I suggest you may want to also reach out to the Regional Municipality of Niagara with your appeal.

A driver failed to stop for a stopped school bus, with emergency lights flashing and stop arm deployed, while Adam was crossing the street after exiting the school bus. Adam was five years old. I am writing to request your help to put an end to stop-arm violations in order to make travel to and from school safer for children in Niagara Falls. For the past 16 years, my family has been championing the “Let’s Remember Adam - STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS” initiative to ensure that no family has to endure a senseless loss like ours. Our mission is to ensure all children travel to and from school safely every day. We spread Adam’s message of school bus and student safety through educational campaigns that raise awareness of stop arm road safety rules and their enforcement. Unfortunately, stop-arm violations continue to occur on an all too frequent basis, even in my community of Mattawa, where this tragedy took place. Last month, my family and I launched the ‘This has to stop. We need to stop!’ campaign because technological advances such as stop-arm cameras now provide a means of holding drivers who break the law accountable. Our campaign video has reached over 2 million people in just over a week and we received overwhelming support for stop-arm cameras on school buses. My appeal to you today is to respectfully request the City of Niagara Falls to implement solutions like stop arm camera technology to change driver behaviour and make the journey to and from school safer for all children who ride the school bus in Niagara Falls. For over 30 years now, school buses have been using their flashing lights and stop arms to warn drivers to stop within 20 metres of the school bus. This is governed by the Highway Traffic Act under subsection 175 (11) or (12). Fines range from $400 to $2,000 and up to 6 demerit points in Ontario, for a first offence. However, due to a lack of enforcement resources, vehicles pass stopped school buses on a daily basis with no concern for our children’s safety. In fact, a pilot project conducted in Mississauga in 2016 showed an average of 2.5 incidents per day where drivers failed to adhere to the law. This is a troubling statistic that needs to change for the better. One only needs to look south of the border to see this risk become reality. In the last two weeks of October 2018 alone, 5 children were killed due to stop-arm violations in the United States. My family and I do not need statistics to understand that the danger is real. Our children are precious and the school bus is where most of them begin and end their school days. Legislation was passed over a year ago that would help prevent these types of incidents under Bill 174, Section 21 (1) Duty of drivers when school bus stopped, specifically part XIV.3 School Bus Camera System. However, we are still waiting for regulations to be approved in order for this technology to be implemented. In December 2018 I wrote to the Minister of Transportation requesting that he expedite the regulatory amendments required for the legislation to become law. I received the attached response from the Ministry of Transportation this week that specifies, “In order for the province to develop the necessary supporting regulations, we require municipalities to identify the technology that will be used as well as develop the needed operational framework for the processing offences.” I trust you have also received correspondence from the Province on this issue. February 11, 2019 will mark the 19th anniversary of my brother’s death. On behalf of my family and the Let’s Remember Adam - STOP FOR THE SCHOOL BUS initiative, I am asking you to help us honour Adam by mandating stop-arm cameras on all school buses in your community, and informing the Ministry of Transportation and Premier Ford of the importance of this technology to increase student safety. If I may provide any assistance in furthering this cause or providing additional information to you and your Council, please do not hesitate to contact me at 705-840-8871. You can learn more about Adam’s story and the “Let’s Remember Adam - Stop for the School Bus” initiative at www.letsrememberadam.org. Thank you in advance for taking a stance on this important issue.

We would also like to thank Council for their endorsement of this project. The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee would like to once again, respectfully request permission to provide 50 Cent Student Bus Rides for March Break 2019. We are very thankful for this continued partnership and together we will be able to expose and inform students about Niagara Falls Transit. For one dollar round trip, what better time is there for youth to give it a try? To promote the fare, MYAC represent atives will make announcements and post flyers at each high school in the City.

Project modification request extended to June 30, 2018 as more time is required to finish the project due to the change in project scope. More specifically, this scope change allows for the software to be merged with St. Catharines Transit versus having a standalone system. This merging was not feasible until approvals had been received to pursue components of consolidation that will benefit the overall rider experience.Thus it was not included in the original scope submitted with the application and requires modification to the timeline.
