Report: #2021-INFO-46
Date: April 30, 2021
Subject:
2020 Annual Building Activity Review, File: D03-02
Recommendation:
Receive for information
Report:
1. Purpose
1.1 This report summarizes the key findings of the 2020 Annual Building Activity
Review. This annual report includes building permit and construction activity for
Durham Region and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) for 2020, with
comparisons to 2019.
2. Background
2.1 The Planning and Economic Development Department conducts ongoing monitoring
activities to assess the effectiveness of the Durham Regional Official Plan (ROP)
and other Regional policies. These monitoring activities assist in identifying
emerging issues and trends.
2.2 Building activity is monitored as an indicator of Regional housing and employment
activity, the level of local investment, and economic performance. This report
provides a comprehensive analysis of construction activity including residential
building activity from the start of the process (i.e. issuance of building permit), to the
construction and ultimate sale of new residential units into the market. It also
Page 77
e2of5
provides an analysis of non-residential construction activity. The report concludes
with a comparison of Durham's building activity with GTHA municipalities.
2.3 The 2020 Annual Building Activity Report (Attachment 1) presents key findings in
both the residential and non-residential sectors along with trends, forecasts, and
housing market information. Attachment 2 to this report provides the background
data and analysis used to produce the annual report,
3. Previous Reports and Decisions
3.1 2020-INFO-82 2019 Annual Building Activity Review
4. Key Highlights

Page 78
Paqe 3 of 5

Page 4 of 5
• The total value of residential building permits in the GTHA increased by 20.4%
from $12.7 billion in 2019 to $15.3 billion in 2020.
• The value of non-residential building permits issued in the GTHA decreased from

5. Relationship to Strategic Plan
5.1 This report aligns with/addresses the following strategic goals and priorities in the
Durham Region Strategic Plan-
a. Priority 3.1 (Economic Prosperity) — Position Durham Region as the location
of choice for business; and
b. Priority 5.3 (Service Excellence) — Demonstrate commitment to continuous
quality improvement and communicating results.
6. Conclusion
6.1 In 2020, Durham's residential sector experienced the largest increase among all
municipalities in the GTHA in the value of building permits (+69%) and the number
of permits for new units (71.9%). This suggests that Durham has rebounded in 2020
after reporting a dip in the value of new permits (-27.31/o) and number of new
residential units (-33.8%) in 2019, compared to 2018.
6.2 Non-residential building permit value increased (17%) compared to 2019,
particularly in the industrial and commercial sectors. Notably, new non-residential
floor space more than doubled in 2020 (5.9 million square feet), compared to 2019
(2.5 million square feet).
6.3 CMHC notes that housing demand, particularly for ground -oriented homes, has
remained steady. Their December 2020 Housing Market Assessment Report notes,
"The COVID-19 pandemic created a preference shift towards home buying
(particularly low-rise) in the suburbs, possibly as a result of increased
telecommuting and a desire to live in less densely populated neighbourhoods. For
instance, total sales in the 905 region grew by 45% on a year -over -year basis, while
they grew by 21 % in the 416 region. The sales -to -new listings ratio (SNLRs) for
each segment of low-rise houses were above or near the threshold set for
overheating, with townhouses (the most affordable form of low-rise housing)
showing the highest SNLR at 90%. The SNLRs in relatively more suburban areas of
Page 80
Page 5 of 5
the GTA - Durham (83%), Halton (72%) and Peel (68%) -- were much higher than
their more urban counterparts — Toronto (48%) and York (57%).'
6.4 A copy of this report will be forwarded to the area municipalities for information.

Report PDS-032-21
4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
Page 5
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) policies direct growth to settlement areas and
promote compact development forms. Planning authorities are to facilitate development
of a variety of housing forms and promote residential intensification to achieve efficient
development patterns, especially along public transit and active transportation routes.
The definition of `intensification' includes the development of underutilized lots within
previously developed areas and infill development among other uses. Recent changes
to the PPS policies state that planning authorities shall also consider market demands
when evaluating proposals.
4.2 The site is located along a transportation corridor. New development is to use existing
infrastructure and public services appropriately, having regard for the site's
surroundings.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan)
4.3 The Growth Plan is a long-term planning framework that manages growth, mainly within
the urban areas of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It provides policies to encourage
complete communities, which includes a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment
and housing types, high quality public open spaces, and convenient access to local
stores and services.
4.4 New transit -supportive and pedestrian -friendly developments will be concentrated along
existing and future transit routes. The objective is to make efficient use of existing public
infrastructure and encouraging compact development within the already built up areas
of the Municipality.
4.5 The Growth Plan also provides policies on Major Transit Station Areas (MTSAs).
MTSAs are lands within an approximate 500-800 metre radius of a transit station. They
are intended to be developed as high density, mixed -use, transit -supportive
neighborhoods.
4.6 The site is within a soon to be defined MTSA in Bowmanville, as delineated in
PDS-008-21 as it is within 545 metres of a proposed GO Station site. A minimum of 150
residents and jobs combined per hectare is required within an MTSA. Areas that
surround the proposed GO Station site need to be designed to incorporate multi -modal
access and connection to transit (including active transportation infrastructure). Land
uses within MTSA should be planned for a mix of uses (residential, commercial, office).
Lands within the MTSA areas are also appropriate for alternative development
standards (i.e. reduced parking requirements).

Report PDS-032-21
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
Page 6
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as a Regional Centre.
Regional Highway 2 is a Type B Arterial Road and functions as a transit spine. Regional
Centres are targeted for a concentration of uses, including institutional, commercial,
residential, cultural, entertainment, major office and major retail uses.
5.2 Regional Centres support an overall, long-term density target of at least 75 residential
units per gross hectare and a floor -space index of 2.5 times (not applied on a site basis
but rather across the entire area). This means the built form will need to be an
appropriate mix of mid -rise and high-rise development (as determined by the area
municipalities).
5.3 Urban areas across the Region shall be planned to accommodate a minimum 40
percent of all residential development occurring annually through intensification within
built-up areas. The Durham Regional Official Plan requires a minimum intensification
target of 32 percent for lands within the built boundary in Clarington.
5.4 Transit spines facilitate inter -regional and inter -municipal transit services along arterial
roads (GO Transit) and intersect with local transit services (Durham Regional Transit).
Development along transit spines shall provide for complimentary higher densities and
mixed uses in accordance with the Regional Centre policies.
5.5 Since the site is along Regional Highway 2, noise impacts from the arterial road must be
mitigated in accordance with Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks
guidelines.
Clarington Official Plan
5.6 The subject lands are within an "Urban Centre" within which mixed -use and apartment
buildings are to be the predominant housing form with a permitted height from 4 to 12
storeys, and a minimum net density of 120 units per hectare. Proposals for multi -unit
residential must consider appropriateness of the site, compatibility, provision of suitable
access points, traffic and parking impacts and architectural building massing. The urban
design and sustainability policies of the Official Plan must be implemented through the
development.
5.7 Urban Centres shall be developed as the main concentrations of activity in each
community. In particular, the Bowmanville Urban Centres will be planned as a centre of
regional significance providing the highest level of retail and service uses and shall be
the primary focal point of cultural, community, recreational and institutional uses in
Clarington.
5.8 Core objectives of the Official Plan are to encourage transit -supportive, mixed use and
compact urban form in Priority Intensification Areas, which includes Urban Centres.

Bowmanville West Urban Centre Secondary Plan
Page 7
5.9 The subject site is within the Bowmanville West Urban Centre Secondary Plan. This
Secondary Plan is currently being updated to conform with the updated Clarington
Official plan as well as to incorporate the Major Transit Station Area of the Bowmanville
GO Station.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 The western property, municipally known as 2345 Regional Highway 2 is zoned
"Agricultural "(A)". The zoning permits one single detached dwelling.
6.2 The eastern property, municipally known as 2349 Regional Highway 2 is zoned "Holding
— Urban Residential Exception ((H) R4-29)". This zoning permits apartment housing
subject to the removal of the holding symbol. The current zoning regulations permit
approximately 197 units within one or more buildings with a maximum height of 24
metres (equivalent to six stories). The current zoning was approved in April, 2007, in
report PSD-035-07 and by By-law 2007-069.
6.3 The current zoning on either property does not permit the proposed development,
resulting in the need for the rezoning application.
7. Summary of Background Studies
The following studies were submitted in support of the applications:
Planning Justification Report, Larkin + Land Use Planner Inc.
7.1 This report provides the planning context of the subject lands and surrounding
neighbourhood. The report identifies that the proposed development meets the
requirements of the Planning Act, Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the Growth
Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Durham Regional Official Plan and the
Clarington Official Plan. The report also identifies how the development promotes the
vision of the Bowmanville West Urban Centre Secondary Plan.
7.2 The report concludes that, in this location, the proposed scale and intensity of the
development are in conformity with the applicable planning documents and represents
good land use planning.

Urban Design Brief, Barry Bryan Associates (BBA)
i
7.3 BBA was retained by the Owners to prepare an Urban Design Brief in support of the
development applications. The brief concludes that the proposed development is
appropriate and aligns with the goals of the Clarington Official Plan and Bowmanville
West Urban Centre and Secondary Plan as the Municipality continues to support new
transit -oriented infrastructure.
Geotechnical Investigation, Soil Engineers Ltd.
7.4 Soil Engineers Ltd. was retained by the Owners to carry out a geotechnical investigation
for the subject properties. The purpose of the investigation was to reveal the subsurface
conditions and to determine the engineering properties of the disclosed soils for the
design and construction of the proposed project. The geotechnical findings which
warrant special considerations are presented throughout the report and would need to
be addressed throughout the Site Plan Approval process as well as the construction
process.
Phase One Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), Soil Engineers Ltd.
7.5 Soil Engineers Ltd. was retained by the Owners to carry out a Phase One
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) for the subject properties. The Phase One ESA
identifies three areas of potential environmental concern within the site. First, potential
use of pesticide during the agricultural activities at the subject site. Secondly, the
presence of fill materials of unknown quality at the subject site and lastly, the presence
of spill and stain on the basement floor of the building at the site. The report
recommends that a phase Two ESA be undertaken to investigate these environmental
concerns.

Transportation Impact and On -Site Circulation Study, NextTrans Consulting
Engineers
7.6 NextTrans Consulting Engineers was retained by the Owners to carry out a
Transportation Impact and On -Site Circulation Study in support of the proposal. The
proposed development will provide a total of 321 parking spaces, with a total of 108
spaces at grade and 213 spaces underground. The report concludes that this amount
of parking is sufficient for the proposal.
7.7 Vehicular access is envisioned through a full movement entrance that will front Green
Road to the east. The study concludes that the development proposal can adequately
be accommodated by the existing transportation network with negligible traffic impact to
the adjacent public roadways.
Environmental Noise Assessment, YCA Engineering Limited
7.8 YCA Engineering Limited was retained by the Owners to prepare an Environmental
Noise Assessment in support of the proposal. The assessment examined the noise
generated by traffic on Regional Highway 2, Green Road and the Canadian Pacific
Railway approximately 550 metres to the south. Mitigation measures such as stationary
noise outdoor measuers, ventilation reuirements, warning clauses and upgraded
building components are outlined in the noise assessment and would need to be
addressed through the Site Plan Approval process.
Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report, Candevcon East
Limited
7.9 Candevcon East Limited was retained by the Owners to prepare a Functional Servicing
and Stormwater Management Report in support of the proposal. This report investigated
water supply, sanitary sewer and storm drainage for the site. The report provides a
number of recommendations for successful servicing and stormwater management for
the proposal. The recommendations would be implemented through the Site Plan
Approval process.
Fill Management Plan, Soil Engineers Ltd.
7.10 Soil Engineerings Ltd. was retained by the Owners to carry out a Fill Management Plan
(FMP) in support of the proposal. The FMP demonstrates how the earthworks would be
completed in accordance with the Ministry of the Environemntal, Conservation and
Parks (MECP) requirements as well as the Clarington Site Alteration By-law 2008-114.
Landscape Analysis Plan, prepared by Gina Brouwer and Terence Radford
7.11 A Landscape Analysis Plan was prepared in support of the proposal. The Plan is
provided to assess, describe and interpret the existing context of the subject site.
Page109
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-032-21
Arborist Report, NewLeaf Landscape Architecture Ltd.
7.12 NewLeaf Landscape Architecture Ltd was retained by the Owners to prepare a tree
assessment on the subject lands. The report concluded that due to the extensive
development, all the existing vegetation on site requires removal. Recommendations to
ensure natural buffering to the southern neighbours have been identified throughout this
report and would be implemented as necessary through the Site Plan Approval process.
8. Public Notice and Submissions
Applicant Initiated Virtual Open Houses
8.1 Prior to notice being posted on the site, Staff received seven pieces of correspondence
and several phone calls from neighbouring residents with concerns about the proposal.
8.2 The concerns were all centered around the appropriateness of the scale of the proposal,
relative to the existing, low -density homes to the south. There were concerns about the
lack of transition proposed to the existing residential neighbourhood to the south and the
loss of privacy.
8.3 In response to these concerns, Staff encouraged the Applicant to host a virtual Open
House to provide more details of the proposed development and hear the neighbouring
concerns. The Applicant held two virtual Open Houses on April 20 and April 22, 2021.
Comments heard at these meetings generally related to concerns of the proposed
height and shadow impact, loss of privacy, whether there has been any effort to create a
mature landscape buffer to the adjacent properties and anticipated timing of
construction.
8.4 Following the Applicant initiated Open Houses, the Statutory Public Meeting was
scheduled for June 7, 2021.
Notice of the Statutory Public Meeting
8.5 Notice for this Public Meeting was mailed to each landowner within 120 metres of the
site on May 13, 2021. A Public Notice Sign was posted both the Regonal Highway 2 and
Green Road frontages on May 18, 2021.
8.6 Since the Notice for the Statutory Public Meeting was sent, Staff have received one
phone call from a neighbouring landowner in support of the application who emphasized
the need for active transportation linkages adjacent to this site.
8.7 Comments received at the Public Meeting and during the continued review of the
applications will be considered and included in a future report.

4. Provincial Policy
Provincial Policy Statement
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) policies direct growth to settlement areas and
promote compact development forms. Planning authorities are to facilitate development
of a variety of housing forms and promote residential intensification to achieve efficient
development patterns. The definition of `intensification' includes the development of
underutilized lots within previously developed areas and infill development among other
uses. Recent changes to the PPS policies state that planning authorities shall also
consider market demands when evaluating proposals.
4.2 The site is located within the Settlement Area of Newtonville. New development is to
use existing infrastructure and public services appropriately, having regard for the site's
surroundings.
Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan)
4.3 The Growth Plan is a long-term planning framework that manages growth, mainly within
the urban areas of the Greater Golden Horseshoe. It provides policies to encourage
complete communities, which includes a diverse mix of land uses, a mix of employment
and housing types, high quality public open spaces, and convenient access to local
stores and services. The objective is to protect the natural environment and near -urban
agricultural lands by making efficient use of existing public infrastructure and
encouraging compact development within the already built-up areas of the Municipality.
4.4 The site is located within the Settlement Area of Newtonville. The policies within the
Growth Plan encourage complete communities that offer an appropriate mix of
employment opportunities, local stores, and different services.
Page115
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-033-21
The Greenbelt Plan
Page 5
4.5 The Greenbelt Plan identifies where urbanization should and should not occur in order
to provide permanent protection to the agricultural land base and the ecological and
hydrological features, areas and functions occurring on this landscape. Settlement
Areas, identified as Towns/Villages and Hamlets, are areas identified for development.
4.6 This site is located within the Settlement Area of Newtonville. The Greenbelt Plan
policies support a strong rural economy by allowing for commercial uses needed by the
current and future population within the Settlement Areas of the Greenbelt.
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Hamlet". Hamlets
shall be the predominant location for residential and social, commercial and
employment development serving the needs of the surrounding rural area.
Clarington Official Plan
5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the subject lands as "Hamlet". The policies
permit, in addition to residential uses, other uses such as general stores provided the
use is compatible with the current surrounding uses and does not detract from the
character of the hamlet.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 The site is zoned "Residential Hamlet (RH)" which does not permit the proposed use of
a commercial establishment. The Zoning By-law amendment application is seeking to
permit limited commercial uses (retail and restaurant) on the subject property.
7. Public Notice and Submissions
7.1 On May 18, 2021, public notice was mailed to each landowner within 120 metres of the
subject lands. In addition, a Public Notice sign was installed on the property.
7.2 At the time of writing this report, Staff had received one written piece of correspondence
supporting the rezoning application. Attachment 1 provides a detailed collection of the
submitted support. Generally, the support revolved around the proposal to provide an
accessible commercial space within the Hamlet of Newtonville.

Report PDS-033-21
Page 6
7.3 At the time of writing this report, Staff had received 66 written pieces of correspondence
objecting to the rezoning application. Attachment 1 provides a detailed collection of the
submitted objections. Generally, the concerns from the public are as follows:
• Potential road congestion along Regional Highway 2 in Newtonville;
• Pedestrian hazard as a result of increased traffic with limited space and parking on the
subject property;
• Ability for the site to provide sufficient parking for both the commercial and residential
uses;
• Ability of the site to meet the accessibility standards set by the Province;
• Reduced landscaping that will adversely impact the public realm;
• Altering the historic fagade is not in keeping with the intend of developing a heritage
district as per the Clarington Official Plan;
• Adverse effects on surrounding properties;
• Limited parking, accessibility, and safety of loading spaces in right of way;
• Overflow of parking onto existing commercial property and not meeting parking
requirements;
• Lack of parking causing traffic issues and potential for accidents; and
• Concerns with two convenience stores side by side.
7.4 Comments received from the public at the Public Meeting and during the review of the
application will be considered and included in a future report.
8. Agency and Departmental Comments
8.1 At the time of writing this report, the applications have not been circulated to the
applicable commenting agencies as Staff are awaiting the submission of a complete
Site Plan Application. At the time a complete Site Plan Application is received, Staff will
circulate the applications concurrently to the appropriate internal and external agencies.
9. Discussion

Having two convenience stores side by side will create problems
for both the community and our business;
• The subject property does not meet commercial parking
requirements .Potential that their parking will overflow onto existing
commercial property;
• This lack of parking can cause traffic issues and an increased
potential for accidents.

Report Overview
Page 2
Council approved the COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan (CIP) in October 2020 to
support Clarington's local businesses with the cost of physical improvements necessary to
implement COVID-19-related health and safety requirements.
In accordance with the COVID-19 CIP's Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy, staff have
undertaken a review of the implementation to date to assess whether the Plan is fulfilling its
purpose.
Modifications are proposed to the COVID-19 CIP based upon feedback from local
businesses, staff's experience with the implementation and administration of the COVID-19
CIP to date, Council feedback, and the ongoing and evolving nature of the pandemic.
The purpose of this report is to present the proposed amendment to the COVID-19 CIP and
to receive input from members of Council and the public at the Statutory Public Meeting.
1. Background
COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan
1.1 On June 22, 2020, Council passed the recommendations of Report GGR-010-20
directing that (i) a Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan (CIP) be drafted,
and (ii) a $1,000,000 fund be allocated for improvements as set forth in the staff report
FND-018-20 to qualifying businesses.
1.2 Council approved Clarington's COVID-19 CIP on October 13, 2020 (PSD-040-20).
1.3 The COVID-19 CIP came into effect in November 2020 at which time staff began
processing grant applications, and executed the Communications Strategy in
collaboration with the Clarington Board of Trade (CBOT).
1.4 Staff have been monitoring the effectiveness of the Plan and the Financial Incentive
Programs throughout the early days of implementation in accordance with Council's
direction and the CIP's Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy.
1.5 To date, 22 applications have been received under the COVID-19 CIP. Of those
applications, only four businesses have successfully satisfied the General Eligibility and
Means Test Criteria, and been approved for grant funding. Grants approved to date total
$17,600, for an average grant of $4,400 per business. This leaves a total of $982,400 in
the COVID-19 CIP fund, plus the additional funding that was not expended on Tax
Rebate Program.

Report PDS-034-21
Page 3
Direction from February 22, 2021 Planning and Development Committee Meeting
1.6 On February 22, 2021, staff presented a Memo to Council (i) to provide an update on
the implementation of the CIP through the first three months (ii) to report on grant
application activity associated with the three-month intake window for applications in the
Completed Projects stream, which closed February 11, 2021, and (iii) to seek direction
on whether to consider an amendment to the CIP to address the lessons learned from
the early days of implementation. The Memo is included as Attachment 1 to this report.
1.7 On February 22, 2021, Council directed staff to commence the process to amend the
COVID-19 CIP in accordance with the Planning Act, and schedule a Statutory Public
Meeting to receive input on the proposed modifications.
Amending the COVID-19 CIP
1.8 In accordance with Section 5.2 (Adjustments and Amendments to this Plan) of the
COVID-19 CIP, modifications or changes to the vision and goals, General Eligibility or
Means Test Criteria require a formal amendment as per the requirements of the
Planning Act. The CIP amendment process includes a Statutory Public Meeting, and a
20-day appeal period. Such modifications are outlined in Section 6 of this report.
1.9 Notwithstanding the above, the CIP provides that the Municipality may review and/or
adjust the requirements of any of the Financial Incentive Programs without amendment
to the Plan. Subsection 6.5 outlines proposed changes to the Financial Incentive
Programs.
2. Policy Overview
Durham Region Official Plan
2.1 The Durham Region Official Plan (ROP) contains policies on CIPs. The ROP specifies
that the Region may assist in the implementation of area municipal CIPs by adopting a
Regional Revitalization Program that will guide how the Region may participate
financially, or otherwise, in area municipal CIPs. The Region's participation in the
implementation of an area municipal CIP is intended for projects that contribute to
achieving the goals of the ROP for the development of urban areas. The COVID-19
CIP does not meet the criteria of the Regional Revitalization Program.
Clarington Official Plan
2.2 The Clarington Official Plan provides a policy framework for the implementation of CIPs.
Section 22.1.1 of the Official Plan outlines its goal for Community Improvement "to
provide for and encourage public and private sector activities for the purpose of the
maintenance, enhancement and redevelopment of the existing built environment of the
Municipality".
Page172
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-034-21
3. Consultation and Engagement
Page 4
3.1 Notice of the Statutory Public Meeting for the amendment to the COVID-19 CIP was
published in the local newspaper and circulated by email to prescribed agencies and
interested parties, in accordance with the Planning Act requirements. The Draft Revised
COVID-19 CIP has been available for viewing on Clarington's website since May 18,
2021, and is included in this report as Attachment 2.
3.2 The Draft Revised CIP was circulated to relevant agencies and departments, including
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH), and the Region of Durham. At
the time of writing, no agency or department comments have been received on the
proposed amendment. Planning and Development Services staff initiated consultation
with MMAH staff on the COVID-19 CIP at the outset of the project in spring 2020.
Consultation with MMAH continued throughout the preparation of the CIP and their
feedback was included.
3.3 The local BIAs were notified of the proposed amendments to the Plan. The CIP Liaison
Groups for Bowmanville, Newcastle, and Orono were consulted at their respective
meetings in late May.
3.4 Any additional comments received on the Draft Revised CIP at the Public Meeting will
be considered and incorporated into the Final Revised CIP, as appropriate. If no major
concerns or changes are requested at the Statutory Public Meeting, the amendment
could be approved at the following Council meeting.
4. COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan
Purpose and Financial Incentive Programs
4.1 The purpose of the COVID-19 CIP is to provide support to local businesses whose
operations have been periodically shuttered or restricted as a result of the COVID-19
pandemic.
4.2 The COVID-19 CIP establishes Financial Incentives (grants) for qualifying businesses
throughout Clarington to support investments in physical improvements required to
safely reopen, thereby enabling them to continue to serve the community. Details of the
available grants, and the General Eligibility and Means Test Criteria are included in the
One -page COVID-19 CIP Info Sheet included as Attachment 3 to this report.
Page173
Municipality of Clarington Page 5
Report PDS-034-21
Communications Strategy
4.3 The CIP incorporates a Communications Strategy to create awareness of grants and
encourage participation. Since the CIP came into effect in November 2020, Planning
and Development Services staff have worked with Communications staff and CBOT to
execute the Strategy. To this end, the Financial Incentive Programs have been actively
promoted on Clarington and CBOT's social media platforms, on Clarington's website,
emailed directly to local BIAs and businesses, and included in Clarington's Planning and
Development Services E-update newsletters.
4.4 To raise greater awareness of the Program, staff presented the COVID-19 CIP at a
January 2021 webinar hosted by CBOT, to Clarington's CIP Liaison Groups and to the
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington.
Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy
4.5 The CIP includes a Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy and identifies key indicators to be
monitored throughout implementation to ensure (i) the grant programs accurately reflect the
types and costs of COVID-19-related improvements, (ii) the desired outcomes are being
achieved, (iii) the application process and grant programs are user-friendly, and (iv) the
grant program recipients are completing their commitments.
4.6 The 6-month review of the COVID-19 CIP has been based upon staff's experience
administrating the application process, program and feedback received from the
business community since implementation in the context of the Monitoring and
Evaluation Strategy.
4.7 To help inform monitoring and evaluation during the early stages of implementation, a
survey was released in February to obtain feedback from businesses and local
stakeholders on the COVID-19 CIP application and grant programs. The survey
included three questions to gauge overall awareness about the CIP, understand
whether businesses intend to apply, and provide an opportunity to connect with staff to
discuss potential grant opportunities. Survey results are outlined in subsection 5.3,
below.
5. Implementation and Review
5.1 The February 2021 Update Memo to Council provided a detailed summary of the
applications received and grant funding allocated to date (Attachment 1). Generally,
twenty-one grant applications were received. Of those, 3 businesses had been
approved, 8 had been declined for not being able to satisfy the eligibility and means test
criteria, and 10 had been in progress or awaiting the submission of supporting
documentation.
5.2 Since the Update Memo, one additional application has been received and 1 more
business has received funding, bringing the total grant funding allocated to $17,600 thus

far. There continues to be a number of applications that are awaiting the submission of
additional supporting documentation.
5.3 Staff have found that the projects proposed generally align with the eligible work and
grant values. However, the Eligibility and Means Test Criteria has posed challenges
including (i) many applications being submitted without the necessary supporting
financial documentation resulting in longer processing times (ii) a relatively large
number of applicants being unable to satisfy the Means Test requirements, and (iii)
applicant frustration given the substantial time and effort required to prepare a complete
application.
5.4 Overall, 52 survey responses were received. 76 per cent of respondents indicated they
are aware Clarington has a grant program to help qualifying businesses with COVID-19
related expenses, suggesting an acceptable level of awareness. 75 per cent of the total
number of respondents indicated they do not intend to apply for reasons that include:
• The business does not meet the General Eligibility and/or Means Test Criteria;
• The application process seems too complicated;
• The business is not willing to divulge financial information to the Municipality; and
• The business is considered essential.
5.5 Specifically, feedback from survey respondents, applicants, and members of
Clarington's business community has included requests:
To review the maximum practitioner threshold for Registered Medical Practitioners to
account for the business model under which many such businesses operate.
Currently, a Registered Medical Practitioner business must have no more than three
licensed practitioners. Many business locations have several different practitioners
(e.g. chiropractors, Registered Massage Therapists, acupuncturists) operating from
the same location to provide a variety of services. This requirement has been a
barrier to qualifying for many medical practitioner businesses that have been
required to undertake substantial modifications to re -open safely;
To modify the period over which revenue decrease is measured so as not to
penalize businesses for demonstrating adaptation and resiliency, and to address
unintended technicalities. Staff has been informed that the requirement to
demonstrate a minimum thirty per cent revenue loss in March — September 2020
relative to 2019 has been challenging for businesses that have a seasonality
component to their revenue, for those that had success pivoting their operations
during the summer months of 2020, and those newer businesses that may not have
revenue during March — September of 2019.
• To reconsider eligibility criteria to enable franchises to apply for grant funding.
Throughout the preparation and implementation of the COVID-19 CIP, staff has
Page175
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-034-21
Page 7
heard from franchise businesses requesting they be eligible for the CIP. Currently,
franchise businesses that are part of a local or provincial chain are able to apply for
grant funding. However, businesses that are part of a national or international
franchise chain are not eligible. Staff have had discussions with one franchise that is
one of six locations across Canada and is not eligible. They have requested this
requirement be reconsidered. This matter is discussed further in Section 7 of this
report.
5.6 Further to the above noted feedback, staff has heard from many businesses and
applicants that the supporting documentation requirements to demonstrate compliance
with the Means Test Criteria are simply too onerous; especially when businesses are
just trying to survive.
5.7 The requirement for detailed financial statements, in particular, has complicated and
increased the application processing time, as many applications are submitted without
the required documents. Both applicants and businesses considering applying have
been reluctant to expend additional funds and go to the effort of compiling financial
statements given the relatively small grant values they may receive. Others have not
been willing to provide such detailed information to the Municipality. This accounts for
the number of applications currently on hold, awaiting additional information.
5.8 Staff have tracked all feedback received on the COVID-19 CIP since implementation in
November 2020. The feedback received has been very helpful and has informed the
proposed changes to the Plan discussed in Section 6, below.
6. Proposed Changes to the COVID-19 CIP
6.1 The COVID-19 CIP recognized that the evolving nature of the pandemic may require
adjustments based upon the needs of businesses and the performance of the CIP, once
implementation began. The Financial Incentives can be modified without amendment to the
CIP. Modifications to the General Eligibility or Means Test Criteria require a formal
amendment in accordance with the Planning Act.
Modifications to the General Eligibility and Means Test Criteria requiring a formal
amendment to the CIP
6.2 The following outlines the proposed modifications to the Plan. A detailed summary is
included as Attachment 4 to this report:
• Clarify that the General Eligibility Criteria relating to the maximum number of
licensed practitioners for Registered Medical Practitioners businesses refers to
practitioners from the same profession;
• Adjust the time period used to measure the revenue loss Means Test Criteria to
account for the second and third wave lockdowns and the seasonality component of
Page176
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-034-21
Page 8
many businesses' annual revenue to help ensure businesses are not penalized for
demonstrating adaptation and resiliency;
• Add a statement to the revenue loss Means Test Criteria to account for businesses
that opened within the year preceding the onset of the pandemic and do not have
financial statements for a full pre -pandemic fiscal year;
• Delete the requirement for personal financial information to satisfy the Means Test,
while continuing to require financial statements for the business;
• Modify the Means Test requiring applicants to declare other CIP grant funding
received to account for programs that have been launched since the approval of
Clarington's COVID-19 CIP;
• Re -instate the three-month Completed Project intake window to provide businesses
that may qualify under the amended Plan an opportunity to apply for funding for
completed projects dating back to March 2020; and
• Modify the term `Local, Independent Business' in the Glossary to enable franchises
that are not owned and operated by a corporate chain to be eligible for the Financial
Incentive Programs, provided they are able to satisfy all other applicable criteria.
This would enable independently owned and operated franchise businesses to be
eligible for the COVID-19 CIP Financial Incentive Programs.
Modifications to the Financial Incentive Programs (Grants) can be modified without
formal amendment
6.3 In addition to the proposed modifications outlined above, staff propose to add a
Program -Specific Eligibility Criteria to the `Adaptation to Outdoor Operation' Grant to
exempt grant applications for the Seasonal Sidewalk Patio License from the Means Test
Criteria.
6.4 This proposed -Specific Criteria would support restaurants participating in the Seasonal
Sidewalk Patio program by simplifying the grant application process for this particular
fee, and would align with the COVID-19-Related Temporary Patio for which there is no
fee. Such applications would still be subject to the General Eligibility Criteria. Should
Council support this proposed criteria, a recommendation has been included in this
report, and a statement to this effect would be added to COVID-19 CIP Appendix A
(Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan Financial Incentives Program
Details) under subsection d. of the `Adaptation to Outdoor Operation Grant'.
7. Discussion
Consideration of Franchises
Page177
Municipality of Clarington Page 9
Report PDS-034-21
7.1 In accordance with Council's direction, businesses that are part of national or
international franchises are not currently eligible for the grants under the COVID-19 CIP.
Staff have corresponded with and received feedback from the local franchise community
throughout the preparation and implementation of the CIP. Franchise owners have
requested that consideration be given to making franchise businesses eligible for the
grant programs as many franchises are owned by local business people who are heavily
invested in their business, and are receiving very little support from the franchisors.
7.2 At the time of approval of the CIP, it was noted that the expansion of the eligibility
criteria to include franchises could be considered at the time of the 6-month review,
given staff would have a better understanding of the uptake of the Financial Incentive
Programs by local, independent businesses, and the remaining funds available for
Program expansions.
7.3 Based upon the uptake of the Programs in the first 6 months by local independent
businesses, the overall success rate of applicants' ability to meet the General Eligibility
and Means Test Criteria, and the funding that remains available under the CIP,
modifications are proposed to enable the eligibility of franchise businesses.
Proposed Modifications in the Context of the Goals of the COVID-19 CIP
7.4 The proposed modifications to the COVID-19 CIP are relatively minor and are primarily
intended to address eligibility pinch points that have come to light during the early days
of implementation.
7.5 The modifications have been tailored to fit within the existing structure of the CIP in
accordance with Council's direction to include a Means Test component. However, it is
noted feedback from the business community has indicated that the Program
requirements are onerous relative to most similar COVID-19 financial support programs
and represent a barrier to participation for many businesses during a time when the
community is stretched and stressed.
7.6 While the proposed modifications will address specific implementation challenges that
have been identified, they are likely insufficient to enable the true success of the
COVID-19 CIP Program in the context of achieving the goals of the Plan.
7.7 The Means Test Criteria, in particular the portions related to personal wealth, are seen
as an intrusion into non -business matters and are irrelevant to the goal of the CIP which
is to assist businesses preparing to reopen in safe manner for the public's benefit. As
the goal of the CIP is to assist businesses, respondents have argued, and Staff agree,
that the determination of means should be limited to the business' means.
7.8 In general, staff consider more substantial changes to be required to provide businesses
reasonable access to the funding that Council has allocated in support of the business
community, the residents it employs, and the goods and services it provides.
Page 178
Municipality of Clarington Page 10
Report PDS-034-21
7.9 If Council desires to provide funding to businesses in support of reopening, the less
restrictive the Program requirements, and similar to the Federal Governments approach,
the more efficiently Staff can process applications and provide the funding. There would
remain restrictions on what improvements the funds may be used to support. Further,
the relative cost of these physical improvement projects is low, and the risk of
inappropriate applications are, in Staff's opinion, nominal.
Input on the Draft Revised COVID-19 CIP and Next Steps
7.10 The proposed Amendment to the COVID-19 CIP has been informed by feedback from
the local business community, and staff's experience processing grant applications
during the first 6 months of implementation. Input received on the Draft Revised CIP will
be reviewed and incorporated, as appropriate, prior to presenting a Final Revised
COVID-19 CIP for Council's consideration.
8. Concurrence
This report has been reviewed by the Director of Financial Services/Treasurer who
concurs with the recommendations.
9. Conclusion
9.1 The purpose of this report is to present the proposed Amendment to the COVID-19 CIP
to Council and the public at the Statutory Public Meeting. It is respectfully recommended
(i) that the report be received (ii) that Planning and Development Services staff consider
comments received, and (iii) that staff modify the Draft Revised COVID-19 CIP as
appropriate to be brought forward with a recommendation for Council's consideration at
a subsequent meeting.

Re: COVID-19 CIP Implementation Update
Council approved the COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan (CIP) in October 2020 to
support Clarington's local businesses with physical improvements necessary to implement
COVID-19-related health and safety requirements.
The purpose of this memo is to provide an update to Council on the implementation of the
COVID-19 CIP to date. It has now been three months since the COVID-19 CIP came into
effect, and staff are processing grant applications. Further, the intake window for
applications relating to works that have already had been completed (retro-active grants)
closed on February 11 t"
Since the COVID-19 CIP came into effect in November 2020, Planning and Development
Services staff have worked with Communications staff, and the Clarington Board of Trade
(CBOT) to execute the Communications Strategy to create awareness of the grants and
encourage participation. COVID-19 CIP Grant Program information is available on
Clarington's COVID-19 Financial Support webpage, including a one -page summary. The
Program has been actively promoted on Clarington's and CBOT's social media platforms
and emailed directly to local Business Improvement Associations (BIAs) and local
businesses through CBOT's contacts. Information about the Program has also been
included in Clarington's Planning and Development Services e-update newsletters.
In an effort to raise greater awareness about the Program, staff presented the COVID-19
CIP at a January 2021 webinar hosted by CBOT, to Clarington's CIP Liaison Groups for the
downtown CIPs, and to the Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington. The CBOT
webinar in particular resulted in a number of applications being submitted.
At the time of writing, twenty-one COVID-19 CIP grant applications have been received
since approval. Of those received, 3 businesses have been approved for funding, 8
applications have been declined due to one or more of the General Eligibility Criteria or
Means Test requirements not being met, and 10 are being actively processed or are
awaiting the submission of additional supporting information in order to proceed.

The 3 businesses that have received approved funding include 2 Registered Medical

In general, participation in the COVID-19 CIP grant programs to date is lower than
anticipated. So too is the applicant success rate. While the overall number of applications
would be considered robust for the first three months of a typical CIP program, the relative
acute nature of the pandemic situation led to expectations of higher participation rates from
the outset. The approval rate of 27 per cent of applications is quite low for a CIP program.

The CIP includes a Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy and identifies key indicators to be
monitored throughout implementation to ensure (i) the grant programs accurately reflect the
types and costs of COVID-19-related improvements, (ii) the desired outcomes are being
achieved, (iii) the grant programs are user-friendly, and (iv) the grant program participants
are completing their commitments.
To help inform monitoring and evaluation during the early stages of implementation, a short
survey was released in early February to obtain feedback from businesses and local
stakeholders on the COVID-19 CIP grant programs. The survey includes three questions to
gauge overall awareness about the Program, understand whether businesses intend to
apply, and provide an opportunity to connect with staff to discuss potential grant
opportunities.
Thirty-four survey responses have been received at the time of writing. Seventy-six per cent
of respondents indicated they are aware Clarington has a grant program to help qualifying
businesses with COVID-19-related expenses, suggesting an acceptable level of awareness.
Seventy-six per cent of the total number of respondents indicated they do not intend to apply
for reasons that include:
• The business does not meet the General Eligibility and/or Means Test Criteria;
• The application process seems too complicated;
• The business is not willing to divulge financial information to the Municipality; and
• The business is considered essential.
Further to the survey, staff has tracked all feedback received on the COVID-19 CIP since
implementation in November 2020. Feedback received has included requests (i) to
reconsider the eligibility criteria to enable franchise owners to apply for grant funding, (ii) to
modify the period over which the revenue decrease is measured so as not to penalize
businesses for demonstrating adaptation and resiliency, (iii) for increased flexibility in
applying the Means Test to address the disqualification of businesses based upon
unintended technicalities, and (iv) to review the maximum threshold for Registered Medical
Practitioners.
Staff have reviewed the feedback received in the context of the Monitoring and Evaluation
Strategy and the key indicators to be considered throughout implementation. The projects
proposed generally align with the eligible work and grant values of the Program. However,
the stringent Eligibility and Means Test Criteria has posed challenges including (i) many
applications being submitted without the necessary supporting financial documentation
resulting in longer processing times (ii) a relatively large number of applicants being unable
to satisfy the Means Test requirements, and (iii) applicant frustration given the substantial
time and effort required to prepare a complete application.

PLN 37.6 Page 4
Since the development of Clarington's COVID-19 CIP, a few similar grant programs have
been released, including those administered by the Province and Central Counties Tourism.
In consideration of the feedback received, staff have reviewed the eligibility criteria for these
programs in relation to the COVID-19 CIP. These programs' eligibility criteria and
supporting documentation are less rigorous than Clarington's Program. Clarington's
downtown CIP grant programs are less onerous and focused on whether an application
supports the goals of the CIP in the spirit of community improvement. As such, staff are able
to process applications much more efficiently.
The COVID-19 CIP document recognized that the evolving nature of the pandemic may
require adjustments to Program based upon the needs of businesses and the performance
of the CIP, once implementation began. The Grant Programs can be modified without
amendment to the CIP. Modifications to the General Eligibility or Means Test Criteria would
require a formal amendment in accordance with the Planning Act.
In conclusion, from staff's experience with the implementation and administration of the
COVID-19 CIP to date, feedback received from local businesses, and in consideration of the
ongoing and evolving nature of the pandemic for local businesses; staff is seeking Council
direction on whether a Statutory Meeting Report to consider potential amendments to the
COVID-19 CIP is desired. Such modifications would address the lessons learned during the
early days of implementation to better support local businesses as per the goals of the
Program.
If Council should wish to do so, the following motion would be in order:
That Council directs staff to commence the process to amend the COVID-19
Community Improvement Plan in accordance with the Planning Act;
That Council directs staff to schedule a Statutory Public Meeting to consider
proposed amendments to the COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan; and
That all interested parties be notified of the upcoming report.

DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OEtE)
282-9May 5 2021
1. Introduction
Clarington has a long history of supporting its historical downtown areas and rural
communities while taking advantage of federal and provincial funding programs to
support civic improvements. As the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold in Ontario,
shuttering many of Clarington's local businesses, a Community Improvement Plan (CIP)
was identified as a potential tool that could be used to help local, independent
businesses respond to this challenging time. In Ontario, municipalities have been
granted authority by legislation to use the CIP tool to support and encourage strategic,
physical development or redevelopment in all or part of a community.
The Official Plan for the Municipality of Clarington outlines the goals and objectives for a
CIP. A CIP is to provide for and encourage public and private sector activities for the
purpose of the enhancement, rehabilitation and redevelopment of the existing built
environment of the Municipality. The Official Plan directs that CIPs will (i) provide
guidance to Council in setting priorities for municipal spending with respect to
community improvement projects and (ii) encourage activities that are accessible for all
ages and levels of abilities, promoting equity, and contributing to healthy and
sustainable development. This is the fifth Community Improvement Plan for Clarington.
1.1. Purpose and Approach
The purpose of the COVID-19
CIP is to provide support to local,
independent businesses whose
operations have been shuttered
or restricted as a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic. This CIP
will assist qualifying businesses
with the costs of physical
improvements required to safely
and responsibly reopen, thereby
enabling them to continue to
serve the community.
Sidewalk patio at Endivine.
To accomplish this, the CIP establishes financial incentives for qualifying businesses
throughout the Municipality of Clarington. The objectives of the CIP's Financial Incentive
Programs are to (i) support businesses that invest in improvements to adapt operations,
enabling safe and successful reopening during the COVID-19 pandemic, and (ii)
encourage businesses to become more resilient to potential disruptions to normal
operations throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

1.2. What is a Community Improvement Plan?
A CIP is a comprehensive community -based planning study. A CIP articulates a vision
for the continued prosperity of an area. It is based on an assessment of experience and
future prospects, along with a realistic `road map' of how to get there. CIPs are special
types of studies identified in the Planning Act, Municipal Act, and Official Plans. They
are special because upon completion and adoption, they give a municipality extra
powers, such as the ability to provide physical improvement incentives and grant
programs for a specific portion or the entirety of the municipality.
1.2.1. Why was this Community Improvement Plan Undertaken?
In spring 2020, businesses were forced to close in the interest of public safety amid the
COVID-19 pandemic. Clarington Council expressed concerns about the ability of small
businesses to reopen safely at a time when the costs of social distancing and safety
measures may be difficult to overcome.
In response to Council's concerns, Municipal staff recommended a CIP as an option to
provide support to small businesses impacted by COVID-19-related reopening
requirements. A CIP provides municipalities the opportunity to implement financial
incentives to support identified community needs and is sufficiently flexible to tailor to
the needs of businesses over time. Under the circumstances presented by the COVID-
19 pandemic, staff considers the use of a CIP in this context to be appropriate.
On June 22, 2020 Council passed a resolution directing staff to undertake the
development of a COVID-19 CIP to support independent local businesses, and that a
fund of $1,000,000 be set aside for COVID-19-related improvements undertaken by
qualifying businesses. The required accompanying CIP Project Area By-law 2020-039
was also enacted on this date.
The CIP is intended to be available for 3 years. The CIP horizon may be extended at
the discretion of Council. The Financial Incentive Programs under the CIP may also be
adjusted based upon the needs of businesses, the CIP's performance, and budget
considerations.
1.2.2. What is the Community Improvement Project Area?
Part IV of the Planning Act states that the Council of a municipality may, by by-law,
designate an area of the municipality as an area to be examined for community
improvement. This area is known as a Community Improvement Project Area. Section
22 of the Clarington Official Plan provides the necessary framework to establish
Community Improvement Project Areas.

DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OGtO
2029May 5 2021
On June 22, 2020 Council enacted By-law 2020-039 to designate the entirety of the
Municipality of Clarington a Community Improvement Project Area for the purposes of
preparing the COVID-19 CIP. Clarington is a geographically large municipality, covering
an area of approximately 612 square kilometres, and containing four urban centres and
13 hamlets. The CIPA encompasses all lands within the Municipal boundaries, as
illustrated by Figure 1 and described below:
• Lake Ontario to the south;
• The western boundary falls along Townline Road if it were to extend as far south
as Lake Ontario and as far north as Boundary Road;
• The eastern boundary falls along East Townline Road, were it to extend as far
south as Lake Ontario and as far north as Ganaraska Road, and Cold Springs
Camp Road if it were to extend as far north as Boundary Road; and
• The northern boundary is not a straight line, but rather falls along Boundary
Road. Running west to east, the northern boundary cuts south along Darlington-
Manvers Townline Road and then east again along Regional Road 20 until it
becomes Boundary Road again near the eastern boundary.

1.2.3. Who has Guided the Community Improvement Plan?
This CIP was guided by a Steering Committee consisting of Municipal staff from
Planning & Development Services, Financiale--Services, and Legislative Services, along
with representatives from the Clarington Board of Trade (CBOT).
The Steering Committee met several times
throughout the development of the CIP to
discuss various components of the CIP,
including the means test, Financial
Incentive Programs, and feedback
received on the draft CIP.
The existing downtown CIP Liaison
Groups for Bowmanville, Newcastle, and
Orono were consulted and invited to
provide input based upon their knowledge,
and insights gained through the
implementation of the Downtown CIPs.
Focus Group(s) comprised of local
business owners were consulted to

Community Improvement Plan Vision and Goals
A vision statement is an aspirational description of what a community believes is the
desirable future state and describes the qualities and characteristics that are
appreciated and valued by the community. Vision statements provide guidance for how
change and development can be carried out in a manner that is sympathetic to each
context. The COVID-19 CIP was developed based upon the following Vision
Statement:
Clarington's local, independent businesses have emerged from the COVID-19
pandemic having safely and successfully adapted operations to our new normal and are
positioned to be more resilient to potential future service disruptions in order to continue
to serve the community.

The Vision Statement guides business improvement and adaptation projects under the
COVID-19 CIP. All improvements are to be generally consistent with and supportive of
the Vision.
More specifically, the implementation of this CIP will be focused on achieving the
following goals in order to realize the Vision:
• To support innovative and creative COVID-19-related improvements to adapt
Clarington's local, independent businesses to help ensure businesses are
operating in accordance with health and safety requirements and
recommendations;
• To provide financial incentives designed to stimulate building and property
improvements to enhance business resiliency going forward;
• To encourage improvements during the pandemic that are accessible for all ages
and levels of abilities, promote equity, and contribute to a healthy and
sustainable community.
1.3. Background
1.3.1. History of COVID-19 in Clarington
Canada's first confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported on January 27, 2020. The
Region of Durham reported its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on February 28, and
the number of confirmed cases in the Region peaked in mid -April at a rate of more than
fifty new cases being reported each day. Clarington reported its first confirmed case of
COVID-19 on March 21, 2020. The number of confirmed cases per day in Clarington
peaked between March 23, 2020 and April 6, 2020 with approximately thirty-five percent
of all Clarington cases being reported within those two weeks.
Much of Ontario experienced similar or more severe outbreaks of COVID-19 during that
time. On March 17, 2020 in response to the outbreak, the Province of Ontario declared
an emergency under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act as it relates
to an outbreak of a communicable disease. Subsequent to the declaration of
emergency, the Province of Ontario issued several orders, which resulted in the
temporary shutdown of non -essential businesses.
On March 24, 2020, the Province of Ontario announced a list of "essential businesses"
that would be allowed to remain open during the pandemic, leading many businesses in
Clarington to close for months. On April 27, 2020 having seen the rates of infection in
various regions diminish, the Province announced the plan "A Framework for
Reopening our Province", whereby a three-phase approach would be taken to reopen
non -essential businesses that had been forced to close for the pandemic shutdown.

All municipalities started in the "Protect
and Support" Phase 1 of the plan on
April 27, 2020. For Phase Two the
Province would work with Municipalities
to monitor trends in key public health
indicators to determine when
businesses from different sectors could
safely be reopened in three stages, with
those businesses posing greater public
health risks being reopened in the third
stage. The Region of Durham was
approved to enter Phase Two Stage
Two on June 19, 2020 and Phase Two
Stage Three on July 24, 2020. Phase
Three of reopening Ontario focuses on
long-term recovery and commenced at
the beginning of September 2020.
As of October 2, 2020, one hundred and
thirty-five cases of COVID-19 infection
were reported by the Durham Region
Health Department for the Municipality
of Clarington. Seven Clarington
residents had died due to COVID-19
related complications, 13 were in home
isolation and 115 had recovered.
43 per cent of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Clarington were traced back to community
exposure, while 15 per cent were traced to the patient having contact with another
known case of COVID-19. As of October 2, 2020, total active cases reported in
Clarington remained low with only 13 active cases reported.
1.3.2. Overview of Businesses in Clarington
The population of Clarington is currently estimated to be between 100,000 and 104,000
and is expected to increase by a factor of more than 45 per cent by the year 2031. The
Municipality derives its economic strength from its diverse business community which
includes over 5,000 businesses. This diverse local economy includes more than one
hundred manufacturers, four hundred working farms, and three hundred retailers.
Clarington is seeing growth in emerging markets such as the Life Sciences, Health
Science and Tourism sectors.

The Region of Durham reported that in 2019 19 per cent of businesses in Clarington
were in the Retail Trade sector, making it the most prevalent sector in Clarington's
business community. The Accommodation and Food Services and Health Care and
Social Services sectors each comprised 12 per cent of total businesses in Clarington,
while the Manufacturing and Educational Services sectors each represented four per
cent of total business locations in Clarington.
Protective Screening at Enniskillen General Store
The Municipality was home to 22,401 jobs in 2019, the majority of which were in the
Utilities, Retail Trade, Accommodation and Food Services, and Health Care and Social
Services sectors. Of these jobs, 62 per cent were full-time, 33 per cent were part-time
and five per cent were seasonal. Businesses most often reported difficulty in finding
skilled labour in the following occupations: auto -mechanic, hair stylist, chef/cook,
driver/operator, and registered massage therapist. The Financial Incentive Programs
recommended herein are generally reflective of the composition of Clarington's
businesses.
1.3.3. Clarington's Downtown Community Improvement Plans
Clarington has existing CIPs for the three historical downtowns in Bowmanville,
Newcastle, and Orono. Each of these CIPs share a similar vision: to enable the
Municipality to respond to increased community growth by establishing a framework to
encourage rehabilitation and revitalization of public areas. These CIPs have community
liaison groups with stakeholder member representatives of the business community in
each of the downtowns. Planning and Development Services staff meet quarterly with
the liaison groups, who are responsible for identifying issues and concerns that are
specific to each of the CIP areas.

Participation in grant programs under Clarington's downtown CIPs does not preclude a
business from qualifying for funding under this CIP, subject to the eligibility criteria
contained herein. Businesses are encouraged to continue to participate in Clarington's
downtown CIPs. As seen in Table 1 below, each CIP has its own suite of Financial
Incentive Programs, offering grants to property owners and businesses in the respective
Community Improvement Project Area.
Table 1: Summary of Clarington's Downtown CIP Financial Incentive Programs*
*Details pertaining to each Downtown CIP and associated financial incentive Programs are available on
Clarington's website.
1.4. Legislation and Policy Overview
1.4.1. The Municipal Act and the Planning Act
The COVID-19 CIP has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the
Municipal Act, 2001 and the Planning Act, 1990, R.S.O.
Subsection 106(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001 prohibits granting of bonuses, directly or
indirectly, to assist manufacturing businesses or other industrial or commercial
enterprises. However, an exception is made in Subsection 106(3) of the Municipal Act,
2001 for councils exercising powers under Subsection 28(6) or (7) of the Planning Act.
11
Page 194
DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OGtOber
20-2-9May 5 2021
Section 28 of the Planning Act allows municipalities with provisions in their Official Plans
relating to community improvement to designate by by-law a "Community Improvement
Project Area". Once this is done, a municipality may prepare a "Community
Improvement Plan" for the Community Improvement Project Area.
For the purposes of carrying out a CIP, Subsection 28(7) of the Planning Act permits the
municipalities to make grants or loans to the registered owners, assessed owners, and
tenants of land and buildings within the Community Improvement Project Area. Grant or
loan programs implemented under a CIP may be directed to pay for the whole, or any
part, of the cost of rehabilitating such lands and buildings in conformity with the CIP.
The preparation of the CIP includes a requirement to consult with the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, and a statutory public meeting to be held in accordance
with Section 17 of the Planning Act, 1990 R.S.O. The statutory public meeting is to be
advertised in the local newspaper. The statutory public meeting for the COVID-19 CIP
was held on September 28, 2020 and provided the opportunity to explain the CIP and
receive feedback. A copy of the statutory public meeting notice is included in Appendix
D.
1.4.2. Durham Region Official Plan
Subsection 14.4 of the Durham Region Official Plan (ROP) contains policies on CIPs.
The ROP specifies that the Region may assist in the implementation of area municipal
CIPs by adopting a Regional Revitalization Program that will guide how the Region may
participate financially, or otherwise, in area municipal CIPs. Subsection 14.4 of the ROP
also notes that the Region's participation in the implementation of an area municipal
CIP is intended for projects that contribute to achieving the goals of the ROP for the
development of urban areas.
1.4.3. Clarington Official Plan
The Clarington Official Plan (OP) provides a policy framework for the implementation of
CIPs. Subsection 22.1.1 of the Official Plan outlines its goal for Community
Improvement "to provide for and encourage public and private sector activities for the
purpose of the maintenance, enhancement and redevelopment of the existing built
environment of the Municipality".
Subsection 22.3.4 notes that CIPs will be implemented by means of powers conferred
upon Council under the Planning Act, the Municipal Act, and other applicable legislation.
This includes but is not limited to the acquisition, improvement and disposal of land and
buildings, and the encouragement of infilling, redevelopment and other land use
intensification. Subsection 22.3.5 of the OP also directs that the Municipality will consult
with the Region of Durham prior to the approval of any CIP.

1.5. How to Use this Community Improvement Plan
The COVID-19 CIP will primarily be used by
local businesses, Council, and Municipal staff.
Specifically, local businesses will use the CIP
to participate in the Financial Incentive
Programs to receive grants from the
Municipality subject to eligibility criteria.
Businesses may also use the COVID-19 CIP
in conjunction with Clarington's existing
downtown CIPs for projects that include
components that are not eligible for coverage
under the COVID-19 CIP, but satisfy
applicable requirements of the relevant
downtown CIP.
Council will use the CIP to direct funding to
the Financial Incentive Programs. Municipal
staff will be responsible for program
administration, communications, and
monitoring.
2. Consultation

signage at Hoopers Jewellers.
The preparation of this CIP benefitted from
valuable input obtained through the stakeholder and public consultation process
undertaken. The development of the CIP included consultation with a Steering
Committee, Council, and key stakeholders including local business owners throughout
the Municipality, existing CIP Liaison Groups, and members of the public. The
consultation process is summarized below.
2.1. Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Planning and Development Services staff initiated consultation with the Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH) in April 2020 with regards to the use of the CIP
tool to support local businesses with COVID-19 related improvements. MMAH staff
considered the use of a CIP to be appropriate in the context of physical improvements
within a designated Community Improvement Project Area, and subject to the
applicable provisions of the Planning Act and Municipal Act. Consultation with MMAH
has continued throughout the preparation of the CIP.
13

2.2. Steering Committee
A Steering Committee was established to guide the preparation of the CIP. The
Steering Committee was comprised of Municipal staff from Planning and Development
Services, Financiale Services, and Legislative Services, as well as CBOT staff. Several
virtual meetings were held throughout the development of the CIP in order to provide
progress updates, discuss and obtain input on the Financial Incentive Programs and
means test requirements, and coordinate consultation and outreach events.
2.3. Community Consultation
2.3.1. CIP Pre -Application Form:
At the outset of the preparation of the CIP, a CIP Pre -Application Form was developed
and made available on Clarington's COVID-19 Financial Support webpage as a
component of the CIP consultation strategy. Local business owners were invited to
complete the application form to inform the Municipality about improvements they were
undertaking to adapt to and manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The
information collected from businesses
through the Pre -Application Form
helped shape the Financial Incentive
programs to support COVID-19-
related physical improvement projects
that enhance the safety of
Clarington's residents and employees.
Details of Financial Incentive
Programs recommended to be funded
through this CIP are included in
Section 3 and Appendix A.
The types of COVID-19 improvements
identified through the Pre -Application
Form are included in Appendix C.
2.3.2. Focus Groups
Physically distant waiting -line, ground -spacing and signage
at Paddy's Market.
Focus Group(s) comprised of local
business owners were consulted to provide business sector perspectives on the
development of the Financial Incentive Programs and the changes that businesses
have undertaken in order to safely reopen. The purpose of these sessions was to
provide local business owners with an overview of the development of the CIP and the
potential grants that could be offered, and to receive input and guidance regarding the
needs of local businesses during these challenging times.
14
Page 197
DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OGtO
20-2-9May 5 2021
Approximately 25 local business owners participated in the focus groups and/or
corresponded with staff to provide responses to the following survey questions:
• What physical improvements/changes did you have to make to be able to safely
reopen your business (e.g. hygiene screens, removal of walls, furniture, etc. to
allow for physical distancing)?
• What were the approximate costs of the types of improvements/changes you
have made?
Attendees were also invited to provide written comments. A summary of the responses
received from local businesses is included in Appendix C.
2.3.3. Public Meeting
A statutory public meeting was held on September 28, 2020 at a Special Planning and
Development Committee meeting to present and receive input from Council and the
public on the draft CIP. The meeting included a presentation providing an overview of
the CIP and its preparation, the consultation process undertaken to date, and the suite
of draft Financial Incentive programs proposed.
2.4. How Did Consultation Shape the CIP?
The consultation undertaken during the preparation of the CIP included various
components. The input received from stakeholders, local businesses and the public
provided staff with insight into (i) the experiences of local businesses; (ii) the changes
that have been required to date to pivot their operations; (iii) anticipated modifications
that will come as the weather grows colder; and (iv) the costs associated with the above
mentioned changes. The input proved invaluable in shaping the vision and goals of the
CIP, and in creating Financial Incentive Programs that accurately reflect the
experiences of stakeholders and are effective in supporting local, independent
businesses through the COVID-19 pandemic.

4.2. Combining Programs and Values
In recognition of the evolving nature of the COVID-19 situation, and the need for
businesses to continually adapt to changing circumstances, the Financial Incentive
Programs made available under this CIP may be used individually or may be combined,
subject to the exceptions as outlined within the specific program details and eligibility
criteria contained herein. Businesses may also be permitted to submit Financial
Incentive Program applications for more than one COVID-19-related improvement
project over the horizon of this CIP, provided the application is not intended to support a
project for which funding has previously been received.
The total of all grants provided to each business for eligible projects over the CIP
horizon shall not exceed the value of $10,000. Further, in no instance shall the funding
amount exceed the eligible project costs.
4.3. Application Process and Submission Requirements for Financial
Incentive Programs
1) Consult with Municipality of Clarington staff
Applicants are encouraged to contact Planning and Development Services staff to
discuss their project and to determine any supporting information that is required.
2) Applicant submits the CIP Grant application

DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OGtOber
20-2-OMay 5 2021
The applicant will submit a completed CIP Grant application form along with all
supporting information determined to be required. Typical supporting information may
include the following, and will be outlined within the application:
• Description of project;
• Estimates or invoices associated with the project;
• Copy of any permits, licenses, drawings, renderings; and
• Any other information as may be appropriate based on the nature of the application.

Staff will review the application to determine whether it includes all of the required
information. If the application is not complete, staff will contact the applicant to request
any additional information that is required.
4) Review of application
Once the application has been determined to be complete, staff will undertake a
detailed review of the application, and circulate the application for comment to relevant
Municipal Departments. The review will include an assessment of the application to
ensure all applicable eligibility and Means Test criteria are satisfied.
5) Decision on the application
The Director of Planning and Development Services will make a decision on whether to

conditional approval. The letter will outline the conditions of approval, when the payment
of the grant will occur, and any other matters that may be applicable to a specific
application.

the application was refused. In certain cases, an applicant may be able to address the
reasons for the refusal.
6) Applicant may commence project
The applicant may commence the project once the application has been conditionally
approved. It is recognized that certain applications received may apply to projects that
have already been completed. While improvement projects commenced after the

Incentive Programs, approval of grants for such works already undertaken is not
guaranteed.
21

completed works. Municipal staff will determine whether the applicant has met all terms
and conditions outlined in the letter of conditional
approval.
8) Municipality issues grant
The Municipality issues the grant upon
confirmation that all terms and conditions have
been fulfilled.
The provision of all grants under the Financial
Incentive Programs will be administered on a first -
come first -served basis to the limit of the available
funding. As noted in step 6) of the application
process above, applications for grant funding to
support projects completed between March 17,
2020 and the date the COVID-19 CIP comes into
effect will be subject to an application deadline.
4.4. Communications Strategy
New curbside pick-up only
at Little Buck.
To ensure the success of the CIP, it is essential that local business owners and
stakeholders are aware of the Plan and the associated Financial Incentive Programs.
The Communications Strategy outlined below should be implemented to increase
awareness of the available grants and encourage participation and uptake.
The content of messaging associated with the CIP should be direct and succinct in
consideration of the increased workloads under which many local businesses are
currently operating. As the CIP program administrator, the Municipality will consider the
following communications strategies:
a) Website: The COVID-19 CIP and related documents should be made available
on the COVID-19 Financial Support page of Clarington's website. Further, the
existing Community Improvement Grants webpage should be updated to include
22
Page 205
DRAFT REVISED Clarington COVID-19 Community Improvement Plan OGtO
2029May 5 2021
information on the COVID-19 CIP, including a summary of the grant programs
available, the CIP application form, and relevant contact information.
b) Social Media: The CIP should be promoted over the Municipality's social media
accounts on a regular basis in order to increase awareness of the available
grants. Social media posts should include links to the information available on the
Municipality's website.
c) CIP Brochure: A brochure summarizing the Financial Incentive Programs
available under the CIP should be created once the CIP is approved. The
brochure should be distributed either in hard copy or digitally to local businesses,
the BIAs and existing CIP Liaison Groups. Updates may be required from time to
time to account for any changes to the Financial Incentive Programs.
d) Media Releases: Information about the CIP and Financial Incentive Programs
should be sent to local media on a periodic basis.
e) Newsletters and Publications: Profiling of the CIP, the Financial Incentive
Programs, and implementation success stories should be included in Planning
and Economic Development publications and newsletters published by the
Municipality, Clarington Board of Trade, the Region, and other external sources.
f) Other Initiatives: The Municipality should consider other opportunities to promote
the CIP grant programs to local businesses, such as through community
partners. For example, encouraging recipients of COVID-19CIP grants to post a
sign indicating the business has participated in the Financial Incentive Programs.

4.5. Plan Horizon
The COVID-19 CIP will be available for
three years from the date upon which it
comes into effect. The CIP may be
extended beyond three years at the
discretion of Council should the COVID-19
pandemic situation warrant additional
support for Clarington's local businesses.
The situation surrounding COVID-19 will
continue to evolve over time, and so too
will the related needs of local businesses.
The Financial Incentive Programs under
this CIP may be adjusted based upon the
needs of local businesses, overall the
performance of the CIP, and future budget
considerations.

5. Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy
5.1. Plan Monitoring and Evaluation
The COVID-19 CIP is intended to support local, independent businesses with the costs
of improvements that are required to reopen safely and adapt to the evolving pandemic
situation. In this context, the CIP is not expected to be a long-term document, nor
should it be a static document. The following key indicators will be monitored throughout
the implementation of the CIP:
a) Funds dispersed through the CIP Financial Incentive Programs to determine
which programs are being utilized; and
b) Feedback from applicants on the Financial Incentive Programs and application
process.
The information collected through the implementation of the CIP will be used by the
Municipality to periodically adjust the Financial Incentive Programs to ensure (i) the
Programs accurately reflect the types and costs of COVID-19-related improvements, (ii)
the desired outcomes are being achieved (iii) the programs are user-friendly, and (iv)
program participants are completing their commitments. Such information will also
assist with providing updates to Council on the impacts of the CIP.

Report PDS-035-21
2. Background
Page 4
2.1 Draft approval for this Plan of Subdivision was originally issued in 2010. On September
17, 2018, Council considered and approved applications for amendment to a Draft
Approved plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment by Farsight Investments
Limited and Savannah Land Corporation for the lands shown in Figure 1. At the time
the proposal was adding land from the Bowmanville Zoo, owned by Savannah Land
Corporation, to the limits of the previously draft approved plan, owned by Farsight
Investments Limited. Those lands are outlined in red on Figure 1.
2.2 Farsight Investments have been working towards fulfilling the obligations related to the
conditions of draft approval. In working towards this it became apparent that the zoning
by-law approved for the subject lands did not properly implement the lot pattern as
contained in the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision for 26 lots. As a result, an
application to amend the zoning by-law was submitted on April 9, 2021. The application
for zoning by-law amendment does not propose to change the number of units draft
approved, or any of the lot frontage, lot area or other zone requirements for the various
zones approved in 2018. See Figure 2.
3. Land Characteristics and Surrounding Uses
3.1 The lands subject to rezoning application have been graded and some trees removed in
anticipation of site servicing.
3.2 The surrounding uses are as follows:
North - Concession Road 3 and future residential lands as part of Lamb's Road School
Development (Jury Lands);
South - Rural residential lots, a used car dealership, and a veterinary clinic;
East - Rural Residential, cultivated fields and horticultural operation; and
West — Open Space associated with Soper Creek, a residence and accessory building
related to the former Bowmanville Zoo and a trailer park.
4. Provincial Policy Statement
4.1 The Provincial Policy Statement identifies settlement areas as the focus of growth.
Planning authorities are encouraged to create healthy, livable and safe communities by
accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, recreational
and open space uses to meet long term needs. Land use patterns shall be based on
densities and a mix of land uses that efficiently use land, resources and infrastructure.
The subject applications are consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement.
Page 234
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-035-21
Provincial Growth Plan
Page 5
4.2 The subject lands are within the defined Built Boundary. Population and employment
growth will be accommodated by directing a significant portion of new growth to the built
up areas through intensification and efficient use of existing services and infrastructure.
The development of complete communities is encouraged by promoting a diverse mixof
land uses, a mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open space and
easy access to local stores and services. New transit -supportive and pedestrian -friendly
developments will be concentrated along existing and future transit routes. The Growth
Plan establishes minimum targets for residential development occurring annuallywithin
each upper tier municipality to be within the built up area. The subject applications are
consistent with the Growth Plan.
5. Official Plans
Durham Region Official Plan
5.1 The Durham Region Official Plan designates the lands as Living Areas. Lands
designated Living Area permit the development of communities incorporating the widest
possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations
that address various socio-economic factors. The proposed development conforms with
the Durham Region Official Plan.
Clarington Official Plan
5.2 The Clarington Official Plan designates the lands as Urban Residential and
Environmental Protection Area. The Urban Residential designation shall predominantly
be used for housing purposes, providing for a variety of densities, tenure and types.
Neighbourhoods are to be walkable, compact, connected and create a high quality
public realm. The lands associated with the Soper Creek valleylands are designated
Environmental Protection. The Natural Environment policies require a minimum 15
metres setback from natural heritage features including watercourses and valleyland.
5.3 The lands adjacent to Lambs Road frontage and Concession Street frontage are
identified as a Local Corridor which are to have a variety of medium density
development. A medium density block is located at the north and south ends of the
draft plan of subdivision.
6. Zoning By-law
6.1 Zoning By-law 84-63 zones the subject lands as various urban residential zones for
single detached dwellings, street townhouses and block townhouses and Environmental
Protection for the open space lands. An application for rezoning has been submitted.
The zones contained in the zoning by-law that was approved in 2018 unfortunately does
not align with the lot pattern of the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. The subject
rezoning application is intended to amend the zoning to reflect the lot pattern, including
lot size and lot frontage of the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. As seen in Figure 2.
Page 235
Municipality of Clarington
Report PDS-035-21
7. Public Notice and Submissions
Page 6
7.1 In accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, public notice was mailed to all
landowners within 120 of the subject property, in addition a sign was posted on the
Lambs Road, Highway 2 and Concession Street frontages of the subject property.
7.2 As of the writing of this report, staff have not received any enquiries with respect to the
proposed zoning by-law amendment.

Report PDS-035-21
8. Agency Comments
Regional Municipality of Durham
Page 7
8.1 The Region of Durham was circulated the application for information only. Development
rights were established through the Plan of Subdivision that was previously Draft
Approved subject to conditions. The rezoning is only intended to implement prior
approvals and not change the lotting. As a result, the Region was not asked to provide
any comments on the rezoning.
9. Departmental Comments
Public Works Department
9.1 Similarly the application was circulated to Public Works for their information only. The
applicant's agents have been dealing directly with Public Works staff to satisfy the
conditions of Draft Approval previously issued.
10. Staff Comments
10.1 The proposed rezoning addresses some technical errors in the zoning by-law
amendment approved in 2018. No new lands have been added into the original
approved subdivision. The road pattern and unit count remains the same, as the
approved draft plan. The proposed rezoning acknowledges a technical error which is
shown in grey on Figure 2 to this report.
11. Conclusion
11.1 In consideration of the nature of the application, and previous approvals, provided there
are no substantial objections received at the Public Meeting, it is respectfully
recommended that the applications for Zoning By-law Amendment be approved and the
zoning by-law as contained in Attachment 1 be adopted.
