Item 4.8 - PDS-054-22 More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23), Comments
Resolution # C-215-22
Moved by Councillor Woo
Seconded by Councillor Zwart
That Report PSD-054-22 be received;
That Report PSD-054-22 be adopted as the Municipality of Clarington’s comments
to the Province on the proposed changes introduced under the More Homes Built
Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) with the following additional comments;
the proposed changes in Bill 23 would significantly reduce municipal
collections from developers to pay for and deliver infrastructure to support
population growth (e.g. development charges for road improvements,
stormwater infrastructure, parks, recreational facilities, libraries, etc.);
the Municipality of Clarington supports the principle that growth should pay
for growth;
Staff have reviewed the proposed changes to Development Charges,
Parkland Dedication, and Community Benefit Charges and have quantified
the anticipated financial impact on Development Charges over a 10 -year
period to be a reduction of approximately $18.3M, equating to $1.8M per
year or an annual tax levy increase of 2.6% and which does not include
funding shortfalls related to other exclusions, discounts, Parkland Dedication
and Community Benefits Charges;
with the proposed reduction in municipal revenues from development
charges (DCs), community benefit charges and cash-in-lieu of parkland
dedication fees collected from developers, a larger burden of the growth -
related infrastructure costs will shift to property taxes / existing residents and
businesses;
while Bill 23 may provide for more housing units, significantly reducing land
use and infrastructure planning oversight of upper and lower tier
municipalities, as well as conservation authorities, has the potential to cause
public safety impacts (e.g. traffic, parking, flooding issues, water quality, air
quality), as well as the loss of natural heritage and culture heritage
resources, parkland, and overall good land use planning practices that would
otherwise provide for a mix of housing options in sustainable, livable
communities;
by limiting third-party appeal rights, Bill 23 may result in faster approval
processes, but limits public participation in a process that has long-term
impacts on the local community;
Page 10
December 12, 2022
Council Minutes
7
it also limits the ability of neighbours to bring forward concerns about a
development that may directly affect the use of their property;
Bill 23 will require that Heritage registers be reviewed and decisions made
whether listed properties are to be designated, and if not, then removed from
the register within 2 years; once removed, those properties cannot be added
back to the Register for another 5 years;
Bill 23 provides no mechanisms to ensure, and it is unclear how, any
potential savings from the proposed changes would be passed on to the
homebuyer to ensure long-term affordability;
an increase in supply does not necessarily mean an increase in affordability;
Bill 23 will create a significant burden on municipal staff resources to
implement the proposed changes, at a time when many municipalities are
dealing with increased (financial and staffing) constraints;
That Provincial intervention in the form of settlement area boundary expansions,
Minister’s Zoning Orders and changes to the Greenbelt is not required, nor is it
supported because Clarington has sufficient housing capacity in the form of
approved and planned residential units to accommodate the Province’s assigned
Housing Target of 13,000 homes by 2031;
That Staff be directed to assess and include the resources ne cessary (staffing,
consulting) to address the implications resulting from Bill 23 as part of the 2023
Budget;
That Clarington is concerned about the impacts that the More Homes Built Faster
Act, 2022 (Bill 23) could have for the people of Clarington, including Seniors and
those on fixed income who cannot afford property tax increases that could result
from the loss of development charges;
That community services, building design, park space, sprawl and unplanned
density are also of concern to Clarington;
That Clarington Staff be directed to work with AMO, OBCM and Durham Region to
develop a plan to mitigate the impacts of Bill 23 on the quality of life in our
communities;
That a copy of Report PSD-054-22 and Council’s decision be sent to the
Hounarable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, Honourable Steve Clark, Ministry of
Municipal Affairs and Housing, Honourable David Piccini, Minister of Environment,
Conservation and Parks, Todd McCarthy, MPP Durham, John Henry, Durham
Region Chair, Durham, conservation authority partners, and the other Durham
Region area municipalities, The Association of Municipalities of Ontario; and
That all interested parties listed in Report PSD-054-22 and any delegations be
advised of Council’s decision.

Presentations
Clarington Tourism Update: Ashlee Kielbiski and Jessica Ward, Clarington Tourism,
provided an update on the Clarington Fall 2022 tourism campaign. The focus this
season was on farms, markets, and pick-your-own opportunities. Ashlee and Jessica
informed the Committee about their reach and methods for advertising and promoting
Clarington agri-tourism. They advertised to residents throughout Clarington, Durham
Region, the Greater Toronto Area, Northumberland, Peterborough, and Belleville.
Promotion mechanisms included booths at local community events, mailouts, and digital
advertisements. Ashlee and Jessica provided an overview of new engagement tracking
methods being used. Through location-tracking, it is estimated the people who saw
Clarington Tourism’s digital ads created an economic impact of $387,738 in the
community.
In addition, new initiatives in 2022 included influencer partnerships, magazine ads,
digital ads in the GTA, and a television spot. After a Breakfast Television feature with
Watson’s Farm and other local businesses, the tourism team received positive feedback
from businesses who reported customers were mentioning the TV spot. Clarington
Tourism commented that they are happy to collaborate with local farmers if there are
future initiatives farmers would like assistance with.
Clarington East Food Bank: Susan Pascoe, Coordinator at the Clarington East Food
Bank, shared the organization’s new model with the Committee. Over the last year, the
food bank has changed its philosophy and model. The new model focuses on clients as
“neighbours” and implements a shopping model where clients are given a number of
points based on the size of their family. With this system, families can choose foods
based on their preferences and needs. The model incentivizes healthy foods and
provides feedback to the food bank on which foods are the most popular and in
demand. Susan reported that the change has allowed the food bank to make better
economic decisions as they now understand demand and can reduce food waste.
Susan indicated that the new model has been an overwhelming success and has
created a community atmosphere at the food bank.
Fresh produce and meats are the most popular items at the food bank and donations
received from the local agricultural community are always appreciated and very well
received. The food bank receives the highest amount of donations near Christmas, but
they are particularly in need in the summer and early fall months. Those wishing to
donate can do so at the Clarington East Food Bank website or by contacting Susan
Pascoe directly (claringtoneastfoodbank@gmail.com or (905)-987-1418).

Report To: Council
From: June Gallagher, Municipal Clerk
Date: January 23, 2023
Memo #: Memo-001-23
File No.: AA.18 – Heritage Committee
Re: Appointments to Heritage Committee
This memo is further to the appointments made to the Heritage Committee on January 9,
2023 General Government Committee (GGC) meeting.
During the meeting, GGC recommended the appointment of 10 members to the Committee,
on my advice of the Committee Membership, based on the information in Report LGS-003-
23. Upon further review of the Terms of Reference, we have found that this exceeds the
maximum total number of members of 12. The following is an excerpt from the Terms of
Reference:
The Municipality will seek to obtain the following as members:
1. A municipal Council liaison
2. A representative from the Newcastle Village and District Historical Society
3. A representative from the Clarington Museum and Archives; if staff, an ex-
officio member
4. A representative from Architectural Conservancy Ontario – Clarington Branch
5. An architectural historian
6. A building and design specialist
7. Area residents from each of the municipal wards that are experienced in
heritage conservation matters
Therefore, Council can appoint a maximum of eight residents. However, after appointing the
initial eight members, on my advice GGC recommended the appointment of an additional
two residents for a total of 10 residents.

To remedy this situation, I would recommend pull the item appointing members to this
Committee and re-do the appointment process to appoint eight members.
My apologies for not providing the correct advice during the meeting.
