REPORT NO.: PSD-115-06 Page 2
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 Section 69 of the Planning Act allows the Municipality to pass a by-law to set out the fee
structure for development applications to offset the “anticipated cost” to the Municipality
for processing applications. The fees collected do not fully recover the cost of
processing applications when direct and indirect costs are considered including the cost
of overhead, pre-consultation meetings and circulation of revised submissions. At the
start of each term of Council, the Planning Services Department has historically
reviewed the fees and set the rates for the term of Council. In addition to Council
adopting a revised fee by-law in 2003 a staff report recommending an amendment to
the Fee By-law dealing primarily with applications on the Oak Ridges Moraine was
considered June, 2005. The current fee by-law expires December 31, 2006.
1.2 The Building Code Act, as amended by Bill 124, provides for municipalities to collect
“reasonable anticipated fees” which has generally led to some reductions in building
permit fees. A report, by the Engineering Services Department on the building permit
fees was considered and approved by Council on June 27, 2005. The building permit
review considered full municipal cost of reviewing and processing an application.
Traditionally, planning application fees have been substantially subsidized, in
comparison to building permit fees.
1.3 Staff have surveyed other municipalities in the Region of Durham, specifically the four
lakeshore municipalities west of Clarington – Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa, to
ensure that our fees are competitive. Since the last comprehensive review of the fees
by-law was undertaken, Pickering, Ajax and Whitby have raised their fees. The three
municipalities have conducted a review of their planning fees in conjunction with the
review of the Building Code fees. They have established fees to recoup a greater
portion of staff and municipal costs associated with processing of planning applications.
The recovery of municipal costs must be balanced, in some cases, so they do not
become a significant disincentive for local residents to make an application. Certain
applications like minor variances are more highly subsidized than plan of subdivision
applications. A chart comparing application fees of the five (5) municipalities is
contained in Attachment 3.
1.4 This fee review is intended to be an interim increase to replace the existing fee by-law
which will expire December 31, 2006. Similar to the process completed by the other
municipalities and the Building Division, Planning Services intend to retain a consultant
to assist in a comprehensive fee review that details staff time per application and
recommends an appropriate fee.
1.5 The majority of fees in the existing by-law are well below the average of the other
municipalities surveyed. Increases are recommended for the majority of fees, as well
as new fees for Condominiums, Regional Official Plan amendments, Neighbourhood
Design Plan amendments, and development agreements. The existing fees and
proposed changes to the fee by-law are illustrated in Attachment 2.
REPORT NO.: PSD-115-06 PAGE 3
2.0 REVISIONS TO FEES
2.1 Revisions to Official Plan Amendment Applications
Applications for an Official Plan Amendment are separated into “Major” and “Minor”
categories. The current fees are $3,500 for a “Minor” application and $5,000 for a
“Major” application. Some municipalities have not made a distinction between minor
and major and apply one fee to both.

Major Application
No change is recommended to the fee for a minor amendment, however a $1,000
increase to $6,000 is recommended for major applications to be more consistent with
the other municipalities.
A new fee is proposed to review a Regional Official Plan Amendment that is not
associated with a local Official Plan Amendment. This review fee is recommended to
be $2,000.
2.2 Neighbourhood Design Plan
The existing fee for a Neighbourhood Design Plan is $10,000. The only change is to
provide for peer review fees if the Municipality determines that peer review consultants
are required (ie. Traffic, urban design).
Currently, there is not a fee for an application to amend an approved Plan. Staff
recommend a new Neighbourhood Design Plan Amendment fee at $3,000, plus costs
associated with rental of facilities for a public information centre or public open house.
2.3 Zoning By-law Amendment
Compared to other lakeshore municipalities in Durham Region, Clarington’s Zoning By-
law amendment fees are significantly lower. Staff recommends creating a major and
minor category for zoning by-law amendment applications. Major applications include
applications involving multiple properties, or filed in conjunction with an Official Plan
Amendment, an application for proposed Plan of Subdivision, or any application that
requires the review of technical support documents or studies (eg. environmental
analyses, transportation studies, retail market studies). The distinction attempts to
recognize the complexity of some applications and minimize costs for those less
complex. The fee for a major application is proposed to be $5000, while a minor
application will be set at $2000. Applications for removal of holding symbol will increase
to $2000.

2.4 Draft Plan of Subdivision
Significant changes are recommended to the fee for a plan of subdivision. The existing
fee is $50 per unit with a minimum of $5,000 and a maximum of $15,000. To provide a
consistent method of calculating the fee and to remain more in line with other
municipalities, staff recommends the fee be amended to a $10,000 base fee, plus $250
per single, semi, duplex and townhouse unit, and plus $50 per apartment unit with no
maximum. The fee to prepare the subdivision agreement is recommended to be raised
from $1,200 to $2,000, plus legal fees.
The existing fee for Red Line Revisions to draft approved plans of subdivisions is
$3,000. Staff suggest dividing this fee into Major and Minor revisions. Minor revisions
would not require the application to be circulated to agencies outside the Municipality.
Staff recommends a $5,000 fee for major revisions, and a $1,000 fee for minor red line
revisions.
The number of condominium applications has increased significantly over the past
years and this trend is expected to continue. Staff recommends an increase in the
existing fees, as well as introducing new condominium fees, to recover more of the cost
of processing these applications. The fee for an application of Draft Plan of
Condominium is recommended to increase to a base of $2,500 plus $25/unit with no
maximum. Additional fees include:
?
Application for Condominium Conversion - $1,500
?
Condominium Agreement - $500
?
Condominium Agreement Amendment - $325
These new fees are consistent with the municipalities that were surveyed.
The existing Part Lot Control fee includes a $2,500 maximum. Staff recommends that
the per unit fee remain the same but the maximum be increased to $5,000.
REPORT NO.: PSD-115-06 PAGE 5
2.5 Site Plan Control
Significant adjustments are recommended to the Site Plan Approval fees to recognize
different forms of applications and provide better cost recovery. The most notable
recommended change is the introduction of a mixed use project fee. Under the
previous fee by-law, residential units in a mixed-use development would be charged the
commercial rate. This adjustment will add clarity to the fee structure for mixed-use
applications.

Development Agreements written for a site plan application were previously included in
the application fee. Staff recommends a separate $350 fee plus applicable legal fees
for the preparation of the development agreement.
2.6 Land Division
Land Division is a Regional Application but the local area municipalities are circulated
the application to provide comments. Ajax, Pickering and Oshawa have a review fee
which is collected by the Region on behalf of the municipality. Pickering, Whitby and
Clarington have a clearance letter or release fee which is paid directly to the
municipality by the applicant once the land division is approved and all conditions
satisfied. Clarington is the only municipality that has a development agreement charge
when necessary.

Staff recommends that the development agreement fee be increased to $350, plus legal
costs and the clearance letter fee be dropped in favour of a review fee collected at the
beginning of the process. This would ensure that the Municipality collects a fee for all
applications reviewed, rather than only those that are perfected. The review fee is
recommended to be $300.00.
2.7 Publications
Minor adjustments to the fees of maps and studies are recommended due to the
increased costs of production.
2.8 Fee Reductions
A 50% fee reduction is proposed for all application fees for proposals submitted by a
registered charitable organization or a registered non-profit housing organization. This
is intended to reduce the overall cost for these organizations that have limited budgets,
when submitting a planning application. The reduction only applies to the application
fees collected by the Municipality of Clarington. The reduction does not apply to any
legal fee or peer review fee that may be applicable to the project.
3.0 LEGAL COSTS
3.1Legal costs associated with registration of site plan agreements and land division
agreements are included in the existing Fee By-law. These fees simply recoup the
Municipality’s cost, as paid to the solicitor for registering these documents or related
transfers. However, as these fees may be amended from time to time by the
Municipality’s solicitor, to reflect actual cost, the fee by-law no longer accurately reflect
those changes and an amended to the fee by-lay requires approval by Council. To
alleviate this problem, staff recommends that the amount of the registration fee be
removed from the by-law and replaced by the following note:
“The applicant is required to reimburse the Town for its legal costs
associated with registering the agreement and transfers”
4.0 LANDSCAPE PLAN REVIEW AND INSPECTION
4.1 As part of approval for various forms of development applicants are required to submit
landscape plans for approval. In addition, a performance guarantee is required for the
REPORT NO.: PSD-115-06 PAGE 7
value of the landscape work to ensure the work is completed as approved. The
Municipality has Landscape Design Guidelines which require certification that the work
has been completed in accordance with the approved plan from the landscape architect.
However, depending on the nature of the development and the Owner’s level of
sophistication with respect to the development process, this has not always been
provided. In addition, the Planning Department does not have adequate staff resources
and expertise to undertake this type of review.
4.2 Staff propose that a Landscape Review and Inspection Fee be collected for larger
projects as part of the approval process. The fee is proposed to apply to projects with
2,000 sq. m. of floor area or greater or in the case of residential, projects with 25 units
or more. This fee would amount to half of a percent (0.5%) of the value of the
landscape works with a minimum of $1000 being collected. Staff would use these funds
to retain a landscape architect to undertake the required review and provide the
Municipality with a report on the compliance of the work completed.
5.0 CONCLUSION
5.1It is respectfully recommended that By-law 96-032 as amended, be further amended as
contained in the By-law Amendment attached hereto, being Attachment 1.
