Proposed 5- Storey, 49 Unit Condominium Apartment Dwelling That Council not approve the Zoning By -law amendment application subject to permit the development of a 5- storey, 49 unit apartment building on the sub. ect land. Wedgewood Builders of Niagara Limited has requested an amendment q to Zoning By -law No. 79 -200 for a 0.63 hectare (1.5 acre) parcel of land known as 2799 St. Paul Avenue, as shown on Schedule 1. The amendment is requested to permit the development pment of a 5- storey, 49 unit apartment building, as shown on Schedules 2 and 3. A site specific Residential Apartment 5A Density-547 (R5A-547) zone w Y was applied to the land in 2001 which permits the development of a 3-storey, unit apartment building. Y, p merit building. As the Official Plan allows such low -rise apartment buildings to be developed in this p in this location, the proposal was approved by Council. The land is requested to be rezoned to a site specific Residential Apartment p p meat 5C Density (R5C) zone to permit the proposed apartment building. A comparison g p of the current and proposed zoning standards follows: Maximum number of units Maximum height Minimum interior side yard setback Current Zoning (R5A -547) 32 10 metres (32.8 feet) building height titres (16.4 feet) Proposed Zoning (R5C) 49 19 metres (62.3 feet) 1 /2 building height 9.5 metres (31.17 feet) Working Together to Serve Our Community ::,cC72:1:::'-'da-:-.421E Niagara Falls, 6X5 :905- 356 -7521 Community Services Departrr Planning Development Minimum landscaped open space 30% 40% Minimum front yard setback 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) Minimum rear yard setback 10 metres (32.8 feet) 10 metres (32.8 feet) Maximum building coverage 30% 30% July 9, 2007 The applicant initially proposed a 7- storey, 68 unit apartment building with a height of 21 metres (70 feet) which included a parking structure along the former Hydro Haulage Road. At a neighbourhood meeting in January, the applicant resented this proposal osal to p p p surrounding residents. Concerns about the height of the building and impacts on surrounding dwellings including overshadowing and the loss of privacy, traffic and servicing capacity were raised. Subsequent to this meeting, the applicant scaled back the project to a 5- storey,18 metre (60 foot) tall building, as currently proposed. Surrounding Land Uses The property is bounded by single detached dwellings to the north. The Haulage Road Trail abuts the site to the west, followed by more single detached dwellings. Commercial uses, including the Queen's Restaurant and used car sales lots, are located to the south and the east. Circulation Comments Regional Municipality of Niagara The Region's Smart Growth Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement promote compact forms of development and residential intensification in built up areas. Regional Planning staff is not opposed to this application from a Provincial or Regional planning perspective. The City should be satisfied the proposed development is compatible with the adjacent residential neighbourhood. Municipal Works 2 PD- 2007 -57 No objections. Trip generation for this development does not warrant a traffic study and no further road widening dedications are needed. There are adequate municipal services for the development. Fire Services No objections. The applicant will need to demonstrate adequate fire access and fire protection at the site plan stage. Parks, Recreation Culture Cash -in -lieu of parkland dedication will be required when condominium approval is requested. The provision of street tree planting, protection of existing trees and landscaping will be required at subsequent stages of development. July 9, 2007 Building Services Surrounding Residents Planning Analysis 3 PD- 2007 -57 All required building permits to be obtained prior to commencement nfi of construction. Many letters of objection have been received from residents and are included on tonight's agenda. Concerns have been raised about the height of the he building, its impact on surrounding dwellings (in terms of shadowin g shadowing and loss of privacy) and incompatibility with surrounding dwellings in t g g terms of architecture and density. The residents also question the proposal's q p posal s conformity to the Official Plan. 1. The proposed 5- storey apartment building does not conform to the Official Plan. The property is designated Residential in the City's Official Plan. Residential Y sidential areas are primarily intended to be developed for various types of residential dwell' buildings Yp dwellings. Apartment buings up to a density of 75 units per hectare (30 units p per acre) and heights of 3 to 4 storeys can be developed at the periphery p p p ry of residential neighbourhoods where they have access to arterial roads, are in close proximity to schools, parks and neighbourhood commercial areas and are compatible with surrounding development. As the project meets the above noted locational criteria, the density of the development is within the intent of the Official Plan. However the building height does not conform to the Official Plan. In addition, the proximity p y of the building to abutting single detached dwellings raises concerns regarding compatibility. g g mpatibility. The Official Plan limits the height of apartment dwellings in this s area to 3 to 4 storeys to protect adjacent low density residential areas from the effects of overshadowing and loss of privacy. The proposed building as 5 storeys g oreys and is close to a height of 19 metres (62 feet equivalent in height to a 6-storey storey apartment i dwelling. The increased height is intended to accommodate higher h g er than average ceiling heights. The Official Plan directs buildings s of this height h g g t away from low density residential areas and to sites adjacent to minor and adjacent major commercial districts, where abutting uses are less impacted by tall buildings, p y gs, or there is an opportunity to develop a gradation of building heights down to single g g detached dwellings. In addition, the building has been shifted to the north side of the property from the proposal shown to the residents in January, bringing the siting of this tall g g g building closer to the single detached dwellings on Emma Street. The building uilding should be reduced in height and located as far from abutting dwellings as possible and g g towards the front of the site. Redesigning the site also may allow Redesigning y w for increased efficiencies in the parking layout, thereby creating more landscaped Y g aped open space to buffer adjacent uses. A building architecture that would be complementary to the architecture of the adjacent single detached dwellings should also so be considered. July 9, 2007 4 PD-2007-57 A site on the east side of St. Paul Avenue and south of the adjacent hydro power line corridor was zoned in 1991 for a 6- storey apartment dwelling. This project, g p 1 although still unbuilt, was approved on the basis that it abutted the hydro corridor to its north and impacts on the residences to the east and to the south would be mitigated by increased building setbacks (15.5 metres or 50 feet). In addition, parking for the development was provided underground, allowing for increased landscape coverage to further mitigate impacts on surrounding properties. The owner of this project has considered developing these lands for a single storey commercial development rather than the permitted apartment dwelling, but has not submitted a formal request to do so. 2. The requested zoning is not in keeping with the Official Plan. The requested R5C zone would permit a building that is nearly twice as tall as what is currently permitted on the site. For the reasons noted above, this is not appropriate for the site or for the surrounding area. A zone category which reflects the height limits contained in the Official Plan would be more appropriate. CONCLUSION: 1. The application to amend the Zoning By -law to permit a 5- storey, 49 unit apartment building on the site cannot be supported for the following reasons: It does not conform with the Residential policies of the Official Plan, in particular the siting of taller apartment buildings and protecting low density residential areas from the adverse impacts of high rise development. 2. The applicant should consider reducing the height of the development and redesigning the development to ensure it is compatible with the surrounding residential area. A.Bryce:gd Attach. The height of the development would be out of character with surrounding residential uses.

The site was previously rezoned to permit an apartment development with a lower density. The following Provincial and Regional comments are provided for your consideration. The property is located within the Urban Area for Niagara Falls according to the Regional Policy Plan. A range of residential uses and housing densities is permitted. The Region's Smart Growth principles further promote more compact forms of development and the efficient use of urban land and municipal services. Provincial policies contained in the Provincial Policy Statement and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe also emphasize the need to encourage residential intensification in built -up areas within urban settlement boundaries. Although Provincial and Regional policies generally support increased densities, local municipalities are primarily responsible for determining appropriate locations for housing densities through policies and regulations in the local Official Plan and Zoning By -law. The subject lands are situated on the edge of a low density residential neighbourhood and on an arterial road that provides convenient access to public transit, commercial districts and community services. This may be an appropriate location for a multiple form of housing (i.e. apartments); however, the City should be satisfied that the proposed development for an increased density is in keeping with Section 1.7 of the City's Official Plan and compatible with the adjacent residential neighbourhood.

I and other neighbors are against having this rezoned to a 5 story apartment building. The current 3 story would not be as bad as a towering 5 story building would. Most homes in this area are only 2 story, it is bad enough to pay such high taxes for our homes, but to depreciate them because we have to look at a 5 story high rise would be a crime. It would be nice to finally have that empty field turned Into something, but 5 stories high they would stick out like a sore thumb, and we would no longer have any privacy in our backyards because of all the apartments on the top 2 floors. Please do not change the current 3 story application to a 5 story application.

Now we have this proposal which will further increase the occupancy of this site. The developer is now proposing a 5 storey building, an increase in height of approximately 30 feet. Almost 80% higher than originally planned. The proposed height will block the morning sun for several residents on Jupiter Blvd. and Emma St. There will be an increase in noise and a loss of rear yard privacy. The developer has informed the local residents that the large tees along the westerly and southern property line are to be removed thereby decreasing the screening and our privacy even more, not to speak of the loss of the mature trees in general. The increase in the number of vehicles by approximately 40% will make the entrance and exit onto St. Paul St. even more difficult for surrounding residents and businesses. The City's Official Plan states that although there is a demand for a variety of multiple residential accommodations it also states that these types will "not be mixed indiscriminately, but will be arranged in a graduation of building height and densities". The Official Plan continues by saying that "street townhouses, block townhouses, maisonettes, apartments and other similar multiple unit structures 2 to 3 storeys can be developed to a maximum of 50 units per hectare." The Official Plan also encourages new residential development and infillin g but states that it is to "be designed and integrated to achieve compatibility and sensitivity with the surrounding area in terms of density, height and graduation, building mass and arrangement The design of the proposed 5 storey building is an unpleasant looking "box" that does riot integrate into the neighbourhood. It is not compatible with the existing uses. The density is greater than what exists and the height is excessive in comparison with the existing houses. Obviously the project is not economically viable as a three storey building from the developer's point of view. The existing residents have an investment in their property and foresee an overwhelming i decrease in the property value if this proposal is approved.

RECEIVED JUN. 262007 PLANNING DEVELOPMENT Page 1 June 24, 2007 City of Niagara Falls Planning Development 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON 1.1E 6X5 Dear Mr. Darbyson RE: City File AM- 41 2QQ 2799 St. jrnJv. We are writing a letter of objection for the proposed development at 274Ct 5t. Paul Ave. We live at 6284 Emma Street (Lot 10). We built our home 3 years ago. Before we purchased our lot, we called City Hall to find out the zoning of the parcel of land directly behind us. We were told that the land was already re -zoned to (RSA -547), which would permit a 3- storey apartment. We were full aware of that possibility and took that into consideration before we purchased our lot. We are not here to dispute a 3-storey apartment dwelling. However, building a 5- storey apartment building does have that much more impact on our home and lives. A 5- storey apartment building will affect Lot 10 considerably. It will be very unfair for the City to approve this type of development. We would not have built our family home, our family investment if the land was zoned for a 5- storey. Our rear lot is 150 feet wide. That means that we will have 150 feet of the apartment in our backyard. This also means we will have people looking out of their apartments, their balconies at us. There are a few spectacular full-grown trees about 10 feet from the property line. It would be a disgrace to remove this beautiful nature. The developer wants them cleared. Please consider the residents of Emma Street. We are concerned about the increase in noise from cars, people, air conditioning units, garbage tracks, and traffic. We are concerned about the lighting at night, the pollution from autos parking and ultimately we are sick of the thought of having our privacy invaded. We have young children and the thought of someone looking down at them from the fifth floor makes us sick. We ask that you take our considerations to heart. No one wants to have a 5 apartment building in their backyards. The land has already been rezoned once. We need to stop this development. It is not in character with the existing neighborhood. One last thing, this development to build a 5-storey apartment is all about GREED. P Y p The land is zoned for a 3- storey. Why not build that!

Not unlike many cities, Downtown Niagara Falls has been faced with, and continues to face, deterioration. This is unlikely to change without decisive action steps being undertaken. There are several factors that have caused the Downtown's decline, including changes to g g the retail market and development of regional, suburban -based shopping centres. In spite p of the above, the Downtown continues to provide a strong business and professional office sector with a number of banks, lawyers' and doctors' offices located in the area. The Downtown also remains a major transportation hub to the City with the location of a VIA Rail Station and City's Transit. There are a number of historic buildings Downtown that provide character and nostalgia. These buildings are worthy of preservation and improvement that can create a unique shopping and cultural experience for locals and tourists. Since Downtown abuts River Road, it also has the ability to encourage visits by its that currently pass by ts doorstep. Dr. Kent Robertson, a professor at the St. Cloud State University Minnesota, outlines the trend toward Downtown redevelopment: "Cities of all sizes, value downtown for its economic benefits, heritage, identity, and sense of community /place. The entire community, not just the downtown, benefits from a healthy downtown. Second, a strong commitment by local government, in conjunction with a well organized and active private sector, is essential for successful downtown development." There is potential for Niagara Falls' Downtown to be a unique place to live, work and shop is very real but the time for action is running out. City Council recognized the need for change by approving a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Downtown in December 2004. The CIP set out a framework to guide public g, p sector investment and stimulate private sector investment. The CIP recognized that a healthy, viable downtown is important to the economic health, civic pride and history of a this p rY community. It is for this reason that City Council took steps to implement a package of financial incentive programs to promote redevelopment and now must consider additional action steps that will help determine its future. On May 8, 2006, Council approved the Downtown Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) prepared by the Walker Group headed by Jay Valgora. The SIP identified approximately $36 million worth of physical improvements to the appearance and infrastructure of Downtown. While these targeted improvements had been designated as short term (0 to 2 years) and /or medium term (2 to 5 years) under the Downtown CIP, the SIP had envisioned a more accelerated time frame focusing on May 2008 as the construction completion date. It was the underlying objective of the SIP to create a "sudden and dramatic" change in the Downtown in order to attract the type and magnitude of retail development contemplated. Council committed $1.66 million in funding toward the preparation of detailed studies to fully implement Phase 1 of the approved SIP revitalization strategy. Many of these studies have been inactive pending the completion of the Market Feasibility Study and direction from Council. The following studies were commissioned: July 9, 2007 3 PD- 2007 -14 Queen Street Road and Streetscape Design g n Parking Action Plan and Parking Structure Environmental Assessment Eastern Gateway Environmental Assessment Western Gateway Environmental Assessment Huron Street Environmental Assessment Urban Design Guidelines Official Plan and Zoning By -law Review Property Acquisition and Disposition Strategy gY Park Planning Designs for the Gateways and Civic Square A number of changes have occurred since staff was directed to complete the necessary studies and they include the following: 1. Staff Report L- 2006 -43 was presented to Council in the fall of 2006 which described various scenarios regarding property acquisition and disposition; 2. Staff was directed to have an independent Market Feasibility Study prepared for Downtown. The study is now completed. The study identifies the Y e available market opportunities for Downtown retail revitalization, a cost benefit analysis associated sociated with the City's investments in infrastructure and a scaled-down approach for undertaking of Phase 1 improvements; 3. There has been a change in the members of City Council y unc�l as a result of the municipal elections held in November 2006; 4. In December 2006, Council approved a motion limiting funds civic g for civic improvements to $12 million with support of seeking matching funds from g m the Federal and Provincial Governments; 5. In May 2007, Council removed the $12 million for civic improvements as part of the City's 5 -year Capital Budget Plan; and 6. The BIA has retained a marketing consultant to explore lore t impacts p the economic impacts and spin -off effects associated with a revitalized downtown. A presentation p ntation of their i study findings is scheduled for July 9, 2007. Market Feasibility Study One of the key studies commissioned by City Council for Downtown Y Y owntown revitalization is the Market Feasibility Study, prepared by Joseph Urban Consultants nts and Altus Clayton. The major findings of the study, which is being presented to Council p cal on July 9, 2007, are highlighted as follows: A market opportunity currently exists for approximately 205 000 pp y square feet of retail, personal service and restaurant space. Based on a successful Phase 1 program, a further Phase 2 program of 225,000 square feet could be carried out producing a total ro ram of 430 0 p g 430,000 square feet. The SIP contemplated a much larger development scenario approaching o p o approaching 800,000 square feet with over 50 /o in new construction. The consultants feel that the July 9, 2007 4 PD- 2007 -14 municipality will be strongly challenged to implement the Phase 1 and Phase 2 programs suggested in the Market Feasibility Study totaling 430,000 square feet. Where the SIP contemplated a retail market with a predominance of strong national tenants, the Market Feasibility Study did not find a sufficient concentration of the higher income components in this trade area to support such retailers. The study concludes that retail revitalization should be focused in the Queen Street/Erie Avenue area with a much stronger linkage to both River Road and the People Mover system. The Erie Street frontage should be strengthened with stronger parking and g p g functional linkages to both the bus station and the train station. The central area of Queen Street which lies west of Erie Avenue should be reinforced with medium density housing such as townhouses along Park Street, Bridge Street and Huron Street. While the City can make capital improvements in the form of streetscapes, parking p p g and transportation, it remains the responsibility of the property owners themselves to lease, improve and operate a successful downtown. The timing of additional infrastructure requirements will depend on the success of the first phase and the demands of the ultimate merchandising mix, land use patterns and the ultimate degree of residential intensification. Economic Impact Outlined in Market Feasibility Study A series of low, medium and high residential scenarios were carried out to determine the City's projected return on investment. Three charts were prepared setting out the projected costs (including parking structure and financial incentive programs) and projected revenues (including sale of City land and incremental tax revenue). The net benefits to the City of their investment range from a loss of $1 million to a net gain of $7.8 million, when expressed as a net present value over the 20 -year time frame. The first phase of the proposed plan will bring some 680 additional employees to the Downtown area. The planned infrastructure and development work will generate a number of direct and indirect benefits including up to 2,200 person years of employment and generate some $12 million in tax revenue for senior levels of government. Phase 1 Development Proposed in the SIP The Market Feasibility Study recommends a more realistic and ra matic approach for P g pp Downtown revitalization, more in keeping with the original CIP Rather than the $36 million infrastructure investment program comprised of streetscapin g improvements rovements over the entire length of Queen Street, improvements to both the eastern and western gateways into g Y nto the Downtown and a new parking structure, all in the first phase, the consultants are recommending a far more focused approach. Based on the retail redevelopment July 9, 2007 5 PD-2007-14 opportunities available, the consultants recommend that first phase streetscaping Gaping improvements be confined to the retail redevelopment area at Queen Street and Erie Avenue, that the parking structure be reduced in size and that emphasis improvements p be placed on eastern gateway improvements to facilitate tourist traffic into the downtown. The acceptance of the Market Feasibility Study's recommendations will have an impact on p the studies being completed for the Phase 1 development. Through this report, staff is seeking p s seeking direction from Council that will allow the completion of the studies. The status of the major studies and preliminary cost estimates are highlighted as follows: a) Queen Street Road and n Streetscape Design g The design drawings for Queen Street are being prepared utilizing an "authentic g p p g authentic historical" theme as recommended in the SIP and include wider sidewalks, street furniture, lamp posts and street trees. There have been some challenges experienced because of the narrow road allowance of Queen Street, but the consultants are endeavouring to complete the street design having regard to g g g the SIP vision. Staff has met with the Downtown BIA regarding the streets cape g cape plans and they support the vision as depicted in the SIP. The relimina cost estimates ry mates of the road and streetscaping design for the reduced area ro osed in the p he Market Feasibility Study is approximately $3 million. Erie Avenue /Park Street Parking Structure Environmental Assessment Parking Action Plan The Environmental Assessment for the parking structure at the corner Erie e r of Erie Avenue and Park Street is near completion. The work includes an assessment of the Downtown parking needs as a result of the anticipated development, p the most effective means of administering parking services and developing the phasing p g p asing ofthe parking structure. The construction of the structure would occur when the demand warrants and could relate to the possible development of the King Eddy site which y h is currently used for parking by City Hall staff. As a result of the recommendations of the Market Feasibility Study, the proposed arkin structure can be P g reduced in size. The benefits of a smaller parking structure will ensure that there will be no impact on the properties fronting along Queen Street and also provide p de some cost savings as compared to earlier estimates. The cost of a parkin g structure and improvements to two surface parking lots as identified in the Market Feasibilit.. Stud. is approximately Y Y pp ly $13 Eastern Gateway Environmental Assessment The Eastern Gateway represents a significant challenge for the City. It i g y is important that a bold new change occur at this gateway that will encourage tourists g sts to travel downtown from River Road. The need to encourage traffic to travel g up Queen Street from River Road has been well documented in previous downtown p own studies and is critical to the successful revitalization of the Downtown. The consulting firm of Totten Sims Hubicki (TSH) is preparing the Environmental Assessm will evaluate improvements aimed at generating the largest est economic g g stimulus for Downtown. The consultants are preparing road improvement rovement altern p atives and they will be subject to further review as part of the Environmental Review process. A key component of the design options will be to encourage commercial and residential tai development in the vicinity of Queen Street and River Road. The preliminary cost July 9, 2007 6 PD- 2007 -14 of the alternatives ranges from $1.5 to $3 million, which does not include land costs outside of the road improvement areas. As part of the EA process, the consultants are utilizing visualization through Niagara College to illustrate how the redevelopment could appear. The visualization will be shown at the Jul 9, 2007 July Council meeting. d) Western Gateway Environmental Assessment The consultants for the Western Gateway have prepared several road design alternatives to implement the conceptual design as contained in the SIP. As a result of the recommendations set out in the Marketing Feasibility Study, Y y, possible refocusing on the easterly section of Queen Street, it is recommended that any road improvements for the Western Gateway be deferred. Revitalization of Downtown Staff believes that the Council- approved CIP and SIP provide an appropriate ro riate and sound framework for downtown revitalization. With the program modifications recommended in the Market Feasibility Study, Council is in a better position to direct staff as to the completion of detailed studies for the targeted downtown improvements. It is recommended that Council endorse the following modifications for Phase 1 Downtown improvements. 1. A refocusing of retail and civic improvements to the eastern section of Downtown; 2. Complete streetscape improvements along Queen Street from east of St. Clair Avenue to River Road and along Erie Avenue from Bridge Street to Queen g Q Street, 3. Complete the detailed EA study for the Eastern Gateway to facilitate tourism traffic into the Downtown and to provide an economic stimulus for adjacent land development; 4. Complete the EA study for a smaller parking structure at Erie Avenue and Park Street; and 5. Defer any road improvements for the Western Gateway. Y Additional Proposed Action Steps This staff report essentially endorses the findings and recommendations set out in the Market Feasibility Study. A more focused, pragmatic approach to downtown revitalization would appear to be more realistic strategy. However, in order to be successful in this endeavor, a strong commitment needs to be made by the City and Downtown BIA to work Y o o rk i together in marketing, promoting and investing in both public realm and private property improvements. p p p Y improvements. To this end, the City needs to be proactive in its leadership strategy to p gY guide the process. In this regard, the following action steps are proposed: osed: p p p 1. Complete the various studies for Downtown based up the results of the Market p Feasibility Study and present the studies to Council for final approval and budget commitment, for 2008. pp g July 9, 2007 7 PD- 2007 -14 2. The City is the owner of key properties in the Downtown and nd �t is proposed that certain properties be packaged and made available for development p purposes through a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. One such property is the King p Y g Eddy parking lot which would be available for develo pment as a result of the p construction of the proposed parking garage at Erie Avenue and Park Street. The sale of municipal properties for redevelopment has been used successful) in cities other cities in Ontario and we could follow their model. 3. The Municipal Strategy section of the City's Downtown Y CIP empowers the municipality to acquire and dispose of land. It is ro osed that the City p tydevelopa land assembly strategy that would seek out underutilized roe i p p rt es throughout the Downtown area that could be purchased, consolidated and sold residential d for residential redevelopment purposes. This initiative would create more significant nific g ant parcels of land available for new residential development and is key to the achieving key City achieving a positive return on their investment. 4. Carry out an assessment for an expanded Centennial Square in front of City Hall (recommended in the Downtown Community Improvement Plan) as opposed to the development of a multi million dollar Civic Square as recommended in the SIP. This would create land available for development at the southeast corner of Queen Street and Erie Avenue, closer to the Eastern Gateway to Downtown. Incentive Programs The grant and loans programs approved as art of the CIP remain main a cornerstone to Downtown development. With the final draft of the Urban Design received, Guidelines received, guidelines are in place for downtown building owners to contemplate improvement p to facade improvement and building restoration. Staff encourages property owners to submit applications. p p Y ubm�t applications. A marketing program, possibly in partnership with the Downtown BIA, ,would be beneficial to formally launch and publicize these programs. Funding Council did approve $470,000 in 2007 for the implementation incentive of the financial incentive programs for Downtown. An additional $480,000 is in a Special Purpose p p Reserves for the Downtown CIP account. Landowners are encouraged to submit applications financial g t applications for financial Approximately $1.1 million, of monies approved in 2006, remains downtown p in the budget to complete the various owntown studies. If these monies are not spent completion ton the completion of the studies, they would have to be reallocated to a ment of existing debt, Y g bt, because funds had already been borrowed. If Council approves the recommendations in the report, no new ew money will need to be i allocated in 2007. Upon completion of the various studies, staff will have a better gauge on future costs, which Council can consider during 2008 budget deliberations. g t deliberations. July 9, 2007 CONCLUSION: The City is in a position to provide true leadership for the revitalization of Downtown. This report encourages a moving forward phased approach of action that is more in keeping with the directive in the Downtown Community Improvement Plan. It is clear that Downtown revitalization will not be achieved unless there is public investment in infrastructure by the City, as well as a commitment from the BIA, investors and Downtown property owners. The action steps provided in this report will p rovide direction to staff and establish a more realistic approach for the revitalization of Downtown.

Box 1023 4310 Queen Street Niagara Falls, ON L2E 6X5 RE: Status of Armoury Facility Openinff as a Military Museum Dear City Council: Please find below a report on the status of the Armoury facility and its conversion into a Military Museum. As directed by City Council Report #2005 -25 and mandated by City of Niagara Falls By -laws #73 -23 and 76-65, The Niagara Falls Board of Museums is making progress with the management of the Armoury facility for the City of Niagara Falls, however the process is taking longer than originally anticipated. To recap, in June 2005 The Board of Museums' Armoury Sub Committee clarified the Board's and Tenant's (Niagara Military Museum) roles, established an organizational structure, prepared a draft timeline based on a May 2007 opening, and defined four (4) phases to prepare the Armoury to open to the public: Phase 1 (Complete) This included clarification of landlord/tenant roles and preparation of an Asbestos Management Plan. Mould and asbestos removal and repair work completed. Phase 2 (Incomplete) Draft lease agreement was prepared by the City Solicitor and forwarded to the Niagara Military Museum in August 2006. Lease remains unsigned. Repeated attempts by the City Solicitor and Board of Museums to resolve key issues namely Museum Standards have been stalled by the Niagara Military Museum's non attendance or cancellation of scheduled meetings. The expectation of the City of Niagara Falls in the Board of Museums' management of the Armoury is to ensure that anyone using the facility as a museum would operate it in a manner consistent with currently accepted Museum Standards. The Standards for Community Museums in Ontario are established by the Government of Ontario in Ontario Regulation 877, R.R.O. 1990. It is in the best interests of the City of Niagara Falls and the Niagara Military Museum for these standards to be a part of the lease agreement. Without this, the Niagara Military Museum would be ineligible for any potential museum funding from higher levels of government. Budget of Board of Museums for facility management completed and approved by Council Niagara Military Museum financial plan/fundraising (incomplete) Phase 3 (Not begun) Set up of exhibits (Niagara Military Museum requests one year for set up.) Marketing plan Painting, repairs and installation of elevator as per building code. Phase 4 Opening Armoury to public. Separately, The Niagara Falls Armoury Museums Coalition, headed by Bob Foley, the second group originally approved for tenancy in the Armoury, made the decision in November 2005 that rather than have two separate entities operating military museums in the same building, they would step aside, with the understanding they would be willing to step in as tenants should the Niagara Military Museum be unable to continue. According to the timelines discussed by the Board of Museums in consultation with the Niagara Military Museum, we had anticipated the Armoury to be open as early as May p Y Y 2007. However, without a signed lease agreement between the City and the Niagara Military Museum, we remain stalled at Phase 2 and do not expect an opening to occur for at least 12 months. We remain steadfast in our desire to assist the Niagara Military Museum in order to see the timely opening of the Armoury facility.

CD- 2007 -15 Adult Entertainment Appeals RECOMMENDATION: That based on the recommendation of the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee, the appeals heard be granted; and That staff approach the Police Services Board about taking over the appeals heard under the City's Live Adult Businesses By -law (2002 -197); and That staff amend the Live Adult Businesses By -law (2002 -197) accordingly, to allow for the delegation of appeals' hearings to the Police Services Board BACKGROUND: City By -law 2002 -197, is a by -law that provides for the licensing, regulating, governing, classifying and inspecting of body -rub parlours and a certain class of adult entertainment parlours. The City has an agreement with the Regional Municipality of Niagara Police Services Board delegating the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of adult entertainment parlours. The City maintains the administration, inspection, enforcement, licensing and regulating of body rub parlours. Under By -law 2002 -197 if an applicant is refused a licence, they may appeal requiring a hearing of a committee of Council. An existing licensee, who has their licence revoked, automatically receives a hearing. Upon conclusion of a hearing before the Committee, a written report shall, as soon as practical, be presented to Council. This report is a result of seven (7) appeals heard on July 5 at Committee Room #1, City Hall arising out of the revocation of adult entertainers licenses by the licensing authority from the Police Services Board. een tree( P.O. Box. 1023, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada L2E 6X5 905- 356 -7521 www.niagarafalls.ca Working Together to Serve Our Community Corporate Services Department Clerks July 9, 2007 2 CD- 2007 -15 Niagara Regional Police Service Appeal Hearings The Municipality has an excellent working relationship with the Niagara Police Service. In addition to the delegation of Adult Entertainment Parlours, the Police have assisted By-law enforcement with infractions, including unlicensed Body Rub Parlours, been an integral partner in the grow -op enforcement with Fire Services, have a presence on the Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee and are, occasionally, asked to assist on other municipal matters. Similarly, municipal staff tries to assist the Niagara Police Service whenever possible, especially in a matter of public safety. Y In late June, the Niagara Police Service brought to staff's attention concerns that they had about a specific gang infiltrating the Region's adult entertainment industry. The Niagara Police Service's opinion was that the gang members, who had no visible means of income, were likely living off the avails of adult entertainers and body rubbers and having them engage in acts of prostitution. The gang in question had been identified as involved in two area murders, shootings and a recent police swarming, in which threats of violence were made. Based on their intelligence, the Niagara Police Service wished to revoke a number of adult entertainers' licences and recommended the denial of the issuance of a number of body rubbers' licences. Because of the opportunity for a hearing based on the denial or revocation of a licence under the City's Live Adult Businesses By -law, it was anticipated that there would the need for numerous hearing dates. The Niagara Police Service was cautioned that our Council are part -time members, which could make a multitude of hearings difficult. Nonetheless, after a meeting between the appropriate City staff and representatives of the Niagara Police Service, it was agreed that staff would assist the Police Service in dealing with what they clearly perceive to be a threat to the safety of the public and to police officers themselves by scheduling the first slate of hearings based on revocation of adult entertainers licences. This writer, who is the issuer of body rubber licences, reserved decision on whether to deny a number of body rub licences, that the Police Service commented should not be issued, until after the first set of appeals. Ten (10) hearings were scheduled before the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee. Seven (7) hearings proceeded, with two (2) hearings cancelled for technical reasons and one hearing not occurring because the appellant had apparently left the Region. The lawyer for the Police Services Board examined two witnesses, the issuer of licences and a member of the Niagara Regional Police Services intelligence unit. The appellants were cross examined, if they chose to testify and were appropriately sworn or affirmed. Unfortunately, none of the appellants were represented by Legal Counsel, a right they have at the hearings. Nor had any of the appellants been given notice on the evidence to be used against them. The Police Services Board was relying upon section 19(2)(g) of By -law 2002 -197 as the grounds as to why the appeals should be denied, upholding the Issuer of Licence's decision to revoke the adult entertainer's licences: The burden of proof for such administrative hearings is "on the balance of probabilities" and although such a burden is less onerous than the criminal standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, the Committee had to be cognizant of the fact that the livelihood of the appellants was being removed by the revocation of their business licence and the denial of the appeal. Also, "guilt by association" is often difficult to prove. The evidence would have to show that the appellants knew members of the identified gang and, on a balance of probabilities, provided gang members with income that the appellants earned through their job as exotic dancers. Although the seven (7) appellants had varying degrees of credibility some general conclusions can be drawn from all the hearings conducted: July 9, 2007 3 CD- 2007 -15 The past or present conduct of the applicant or of anyone or more of the persons referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection affords reasonable grounds for belief that the carrying on of the business in respect of which the licence is sought would infringe the rights, or endanger the health or safety, of one or more members of the public; none of the appellants had criminal records. all of the appellants had valid adult entertainers' licences, until the recent revocation. In one case, the appellant had been licensed for more than four years, without incident. although there was no doubt that the gang in question exists, there was some question as to who were and weren't members of the gang and the nature of the association between possible gang members and the appellants. no evidence was presented as to whether the identified gang members had criminal records. In only one of the hearings did an appellant identify that they knew a gang member who had been arrested in connection with one of the crimes identified by Police. although the Police identified incidents in which known gang members were at the municipal address of one of the appellants, there was no evidence offered as to whether the gang member actually was present at the appellant's apartment unit. Often the incidents identified by the Police occurred at a multi residential building like an apartment or town house complex or entailed the presence of a gang member vehicle in the parking lot of a multi residential property in which an appellant resided. the connection between the appellants and the gang members often was merely that they had come to Niagara from Nova Scotia. there was no evidence of a financial connection between any of the appellants and any of the alleged gang members. although a Police Intelligence officer testified, most of the evidence was second- hand. although an adult entertainer's licence will allow an exotic dancer to work in adult entertainment parlours throughout the Niagara Region, there was some question as to whether the appellants were actually working in Niagara Falls upon revocation of their licence. July 9, 2007 Recommendations of the Adult Entertainment Appeals Committee Although the Police showed evidence satisfying that there is a threat by the gang in Y g g question in the Region, they did not show enough evidence, on the balance of probabilities, that there was a financial connection between the appellants and any gang members. In Tight of the fact that the denial of the appeals would have serious consequences i.e., the appellants would lose their livelihood), the Committee recommends to Council that the appeals be granted and the appellants be allowed to resume their activities as licensed adult entertainers. There was insufficient evidence to show that the resumption of the appellant's licences would endanger the health and safety of one or more members of the public. Delegation of Authority In the days leading up to the appeals, one of the Council members on the Adult Entertainment Appeals committee resigned. The former Committee member expressed concerns regarding safety, especially in light of the public profile of Council members, and proposed that Council should not be involved in such hearings in the future. The Council member's concerns are understandable and reasonable. Although one could argue that there is an inherent public duty in ensuring that the municipality's b -law is Y upheld and individuals are given a right to a hearing, the fact that there could be reprisals cannot be underplayed. With the concerns expressed in mind, staff would recommend that it attempt to negotiate with the Police Services Board to have hearings heard by their members. Currently, the Police Services Board deals with licence appeals for taxi cab and tow truck drivers. It would be necessary to make some amendments to the City's by -law and current agreement with the Police Services Board to accomplish such a delegation. It has already been expressed by the Police Services Board's lawyers that they would like to see some wording changes to the City's By -law.

The practice in many municipalities, including ours, is to give the by -laws "three readings This practice follows the passing of statutes at the Federal and Provincial level by three readings. As M. Rick O'Connor points out in his book, Open Local Government 2, there is no general legislative requirement that municipal by -laws be given three readings. It is a practice that this writer would like to dispense with in the future, possibly after a new Procedural By -law has been done. The one legislative instance where it is necessary for the by -law to be given three readings is a by- law under the Drainage Act. In fact, the by -law on tonight's agenda will only be given "two g y g readings" and will be considered provisional. As report MW- 2007 -62 outlines, the passing of the provisional by -law triggers the appeal process through the Court of Revision. Once all appeals have been settled, the by -law will return to Council for a third and final reading.
