Attachments:RE: Tribute (Courtice) Limited - Parkland shuffle
Good afternoon Louise,
I hope you’re doing well and had a fantastic weekend. I just wanted to follow up with you about two
things.
School Block Configuration
Carlos and I concur with the proposed reconfiguration as described in the attached e-mail.
Sales Trailer
Given the timing needed for comments from Planning and Agencies to proceed with a
recommendation report on May 8th, it is unrealistic to proceed with this date. We expect a
response from Andrew at Gladki in the coming days. Once received I will send to your group
and we can schedule a meeting.
However, we note that this impedes the ability to remove the holding on the sales trailer. As a
result, Carlos and I have agreed to proceed with removal of the holding symbol prior to draft
approval. We will still aim for the June date, however this gives everyone a bit of time to
continue to process.
Please note as the appeal period was only over last week on the delegation of authority OPA,
we are just establishing the new process for Carlos to pass by-laws. Please be patient and
give us a week or so to establish a process. We will be in touch. A removal of holding
application is required to be submitted and we will proceed with the application with our new
procedure.
I hope these seem reasonable to you.
Talk soon,

Subject: Tribute (Courtice) Limited - Parkland shuffle
Importance: High
Good afternoon Carlos and Amanda
Hope all is well with both of you.

As you will recall, we have been discussing with Clarington the location of the park and school site within the
Tribute (Courtice) Limited lands for at least 3 years. Both Tribute and GHD are of the opinion that the
proposed location of the park adjacent the valley system meets the intent of the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan and the Official Plan (with the location being accepted by the School Board).
However, it is still your opinion that you would rather have the park connected with the proposed school
site. Based on our meeting March 8 we have looked at Riley Park 1 and Tribute (Courtice) lands and shifted
the park to the east side of Street A. The relocation reduces the number of lots and reduces the size of the
park. Although the park block has reduced from 1.6 ha to 1.13ha, it is connected to the school site and has
road access from Street A and Street B.
I have attached the following:
Original Draft Plan of Subdivision plan October 2021
Revised Draft Plan of Subdivision dated March 28 2023 (includes lotting on former Blk 166, increased
Bloor St ROW as per Durham and reduction of land due to 2.0m of land transferred to Elston)
Parkland Calculations based on October 2021 plan and March 2023 plan and Planning Act obligations.
Please review the plan and the associated calculations and provide us with comments. We would like to
discuss the revised location of the park at our monthly Clarington meeting Thursday April 6 and if Clarington
has any comments, I would appreciate discussing them tomorrow.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good evening Amanda,
Further to the staff report that was heard at the General Government Meeting and the email below, I am looking for
confirmation that the applications that Tribute currently has is circulation with staff are going to continue to be
processed.
This includes the following:
Tribute (Courtice) Limited - Draft Approval
Riley Park 1 - Draft Approval
Riley Park 2 - Draft Approval
Tribute (Prestonvale) Limited - Draft Approval
Tribute (King Street) Limited, Regional Corridor Blocks - Zoning Bylaw Amendment
As I am sure you are aware both our Riley Park projects do not contain any park lands to be conveyed.
The Tribute Courtice project has a park block that was previously approved by yourself and Carlos prior to any
updated circulations.
The overall park size for the Tribute King project was sized to account for the park requirements for the Regional
Corridor Blocks and the Tribute Prestonvale project is over dedicated in park land.

Given the above we are of the opinion that there should be no reason to not be actively processing these files or
putting them on a “hold”.
I request your confirmation that these will continue to be processed. Your prompt attention and response is
appreciated.

Trevor MacKenzie

Good Afternoon,
You are receiving this e-mail since you have an active development
application or have had a Stage 1 or 2 pre-consultation meeting on lands
within an active or approved Secondary Plan area in Clarington.
At Monday’s General Government Committee of Council meeting, a staff
report regarding the fiscal impacts of development after Bill 23 on our
community, in particular parkland dedication was presented, and the
resolution was passed unanimously. Please see the attached report.
One of the first steps is to retain a municipal financial consultant to
undertake the fiscal impact analysis of Secondary Plans and individual
applications as outlined in the resolution.
Please read the attached report and if you have any suggestions on how
to address Council’s concerns, please let us know.
In the interim, any questions related to Secondary Plans should be
directed to Lisa Backus and any questions related to development
applications should be directed to Amanda Tapp.
Kind Regards,

Attention: Mayor and Members of Council

Re: Report CAO-002-24, The Perfect Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on
our Community
Dear Mayor Foster and Members of Council,
Brookfield Residential (Ontario) LP are the owners of a number of parcels of land within the Municipality of Clarington, located within the Newcastle, Southeast Courtice, and Courtice Transit-Oriented Community Secondary Plan areas.
We are writing to express our concerns with Staff Report CAO-002-24 “The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community”, and request that Recommendation No. 3 be refused.
We are disappointed that the Report was presented to the General Government Committee on April 8, 2024 without advance notice or consultation with the development
community who are greatly impacted by the proposed recommendation related to the pausing of development application approvals.
Requiring a full Fiscal Impact Assessment for all Secondary Plans (inclusive of those already completed) prior to providing any further development application approvals, results in further and unnecessary delays to the delivery of housing with the Municipality,
while also putting Clarington at risk of meeting future housing targets, already committed to with the province.
Bill 23 was enacted in November 2022, and since that time municipalities across the province have proceeded with the review and approval of development applications without pausing the approval of development applications and Secondary Plans.
Further, the information contained in the section of the report titled “Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan – a Visual of Potential Loss” contains information that significantly misrepresents the impacts of the revised parkland dedication rates implemented through Bill 23. In our opinion, it is premature to proceed with the direction outlined in
Page 38
BROOKFIELD PROPERTIES 2
Recommendation No. 3 until such time as updated and factual information is presented to Council.
We request that Council refuse Recommendation No. 3 in Staff Report CAO-002-24, and
request that Council direct Staff to submit an updated report to Council that contains
factual information on the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan.
We welcome the opportunity to work collaboratively with Staff as we continue towards the
finalization of Secondary Plans and approval of development applications that Brookfield
currently have within the Municipality of Clarington.
Yours truly,
Jessica Caldwell, VP Land Development

Office of the Municipal Clerk /
Legislative Services
Municipality of Clarington
40 Temperance Street, 2nd Floor
Bowmanville, ON L1C 3A6
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
RE: April 22, 2024 Council meeting Agenda item 7.1.2
Report CAO-002-24
We are counsel to the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group Inc., the South
West Courtice Landowners Group Inc. and the Courtice TOC Landowners
Groups Inc. (collectively the “Groups”). Together, the Groups own the majority of the
lands within the South Courtice area that are projected to deliver 9,172 of the 13,423
units that are included in the Municipality’s Housing Target pledge1 by 2031.
Our clients have reviewed with concern staff report CAO-002-24 (the “Report”).
If Council adopts Recommendation 3 of the Report, the ability of the Groups to deliver
much needed housing to meet Clarington’s Housing Target will be significantly impaired.
We understand that the Report was added late to the Agenda and was presented at the
April 8, 2024 General Government Committee (GGC) meeting, with little notice,
limiting the ability of affected stakeholders to comment. Recommendation 3 suggests
that no further development approvals be given prior to a Fiscal Impact Assessment
being completed. This would include development application approvals within
secondary plans that are approved and in force, and would include applications that
are in conformity with, and implement, those in force plans. This recommendation is
based on the incorrect premise that Clarington is potentially facing a 50% reduction of
parkland as a result of legislative changes initiated by the provincial government in Bill
23.
The requirements for parkland are clearly established by the Planning Act, as amended by
Bill 23. The maximum rate set by law for residential development is either 5% of the land
included in a plan of subdivision or 1 hectare for 600 units proposed. If a municipality
has in place a parkland by-law that applies higher dedication rates than are in the Act,
then the maximum rates in the Act apply.
1 Report PDS-0090-23
Page 42
Page 2
Contrary to the claims made in the Report, all members of the Groups and landowners
within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan area (which is singled out in the staff
report) are meeting their parkland requirements by including parkland at the 5% rate,
which was unchanged by Bill 23. This includes parkland that is already draft plan
approved,2 as well as applications for draft plan approval that have been made and staff
have confirmed they are satisfied with the parkland proposed.3
The map on page 13 of the staff report shows the park that is the subject of a draft plan
application by Tribute (Courtice) Limited as being “removed”, despite the fact that an
application has been filed clearly showing the parkland in the approved location. The
suggestion that 50% of the parkland will be lost based on the Bill 23 changes does not
take into consideration the fact that most greenfield plans of subdivision use the
unchanged 5% rate. It is also based on an inaccurate and misleading representation of
what is actually being proposed by members of the Groups.
On behalf of the Groups, we urge Council to not pause the consideration or approval of
development applications, and not approve Recommendation #3. The approval of that
Recommendation will almost certainly lead to appeals being filed to the Ontario Land
Tribunal, which will lead to increased costs and delay in the delivery of needed housing.
Yours truly,
Chris Barnett

Office of the Municipal Clerk
Attn. Members of Council
April 8, 2024 General Government Committee - CAO Report 002-24
Southeast Courtice Landowners Group
Dear Mayor Foster and Members of Council
We are the planning consultants for the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group (SECLOG), a landowners
group who collectively own the majority of the land located within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
(The SECSP).
On behalf of the SECLOG we are writing in response to CAO Report 002-24 which was recently presented at
the April 8, 2024 Clarington General Government Committee meeting. More specifically, we are writing to
address and correct some of the park dedication information provided in the report pertaining to the SECSP.
CAO Report 002-24, specifically page 11 under the heading ‘Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan – a Visual of
Potential Loss’, indicates that some developers within the Secondary Plan are demanding that their park
allocations be reduced, implying that reduced park sizes are being proposed through development applications
and hence providing less park area than required in the Secondary Plan. Section 4.13 of the CAO report
continues that “Figure 5 shows the potential loss of parkland within the SECSP area based on the new
parkland rates under the Planning Act. Without intervention, the Municipality has the potential to lose a
minimum of 8.5 hectares of parkland within the SECSP area, ultimately eliminating all five parkettes and 3
neighbourhood parks.”
This statement implies that landowners within the SECSP have suggested to staff that park sizes in their
respective draft plan of subdivisions are or will be reduced. This is inaccurate and misleading.
For context, the policies of the SECSP provides a Neighbourhood Park size range between 1.5 hectares and
3.0 hectares. The policies of the Secondary Plan also clarify that the exact size of parks are to be determined
at the time of development application review. We can confirm that each of the participating Landowner Group
members with active development review applications with Clarington (either in pre-consultation review stage
or draft plan approved) are providing neighbourhood park sizes consistent with the noted policies of the
Secondary Plan. These applications and park sizes are summarized below:
x Tribute (Courtice) Limited (SC-2021-006)– 1.13 hectare Neighbourhood Park (Note that this park size
has been formally reviewed and accepted by Clarington Planning staff)
x Tribute (King Street) Limited (SC-2021-007) – 1.64 hectare Neighbourhood Park (draft approved)
x Brookfield Residential (Ontario) Limited – 1.4 hectare Neighbourhood Park
x Minto Communities Inc. (SC-2022-0012) – 1.5 hectare Neighbourhood Park
x Redwood Properties – 1.89 hectare Neighbourhood Park
Page 46
11148794 | Letter to Clarington re. CAO Report 002-24 2
In summary, as applicable to active SECSP development applications, the policies of the SECSP require a
minimum of 7.5 hectares of neighbourhood park area and these applications collectively are providing 7.56
hectares of neighbourhood park. Based on this information, the statements in the staff report that the
landowners are seeking reduced park areas less than the policies of the SECSP is inaccurate.
Further, the CAO report does not delineate between participating and non-participating landowners in the
SECSP area and does not illustrate the significant land area that has no active development application with
the Municipality. Figure 5 of the staff report identifies ‘removed parkland (eligible for development)’ on lands in
the north-east quadrant of the SECSP area that are not part of the SECLOG and do not have active
development applications with the Municipality. Figure 5 also includes the existing Courtice Memorial Park,
which is owned by the Municipality as a ‘removed parkland’. Figure 5 is inaccurate and does not accurately
reflect the parklands that are being provided, the existing municipal park and the future parks.
To better explain this information, the attached park review chart illustrates the anticipated area of each park in
the SECSP, the area of each park in active development applications and the anticipated future park areas for
non-participating lands. This chart confirms that the overall park areas exceed the minimum park areas
required in the SEC Secondary Plan.
In conclusion, the participating landowners with active applications with Clarington are providing the park sizes
consistent with the policies of the SECSP.

Scott Waterhouse, RPP Planning Manager

April 8, 2024 General Government Committee - CAO Report 002-24
North Village Secondary Plan Landowners Group
Dear Mayor Foster and Members of Council
We are the planning consultants for the North Village Landowners Group (NVLOG), a landowner’s group who
collectively own the majority of the land located within the North Village Secondary Plan (NVSP).
On behalf of the NVLOG we are writing in response to CAO Report 002-24 which was recently presented at the
April 8, 2024 Clarington General Government Committee meeting. More specifically, we are writing to express
significant concern with the recommendations presented in the staff report and request that the
recommendations as presented in the staff report not be adopted by Clarington Council. Of particular concern
is staff recommendation No. 3 which requires a further Fiscal Impact Assessment for all Secondary Plans
(inclusive of those completed) and further Council report prior to any further secondary plan approvals.
Page 9 of the staff report references twelve Secondary Plans, either ‘approved’ or ‘in progress’, with the NVSP
being one that is ‘in progress’. The NVSP was commenced in 2019 and a statutory public meeting to present a
draft secondary plan was held in June 2023 at Clarington Council. To this point, the NVSP is nearing
completion after a number of years of background studies, technical review and significant public engagement.
While specific examples are not provided, the staff report suggests that developers in certain secondary plan
areas have requested that the Planning Act is followed regarding park dedication requirements. While there
are not yet any development applications for the NVSP, we believe this approach to be entirely reasonable.
However, we note that the future park dedication requirements for the NVSP have been established by a Park
Dedication Memorandum of Understanding / Agreement between the landowners and the Municipality in 2012.
This 2012 agreement establishes clear agreement between the Municipality and the landowners regarding park
dedication.
The CAO report is suggesting an updated Fiscal Impact Analysis for all Secondary Plans, including the NVSP.
This will only unnecessarily delay the approval of the NVSP and will not change the pre-determined park
dedication requirements for the NVSP as established by the 2012 Park Dedication MOU / Agreement.
On behalf of the NVLOG, we urge Clarington Council to not adopt the staff recommendations and not delay any
further Secondary Plan approvals. Further delays in the processing and approval of the NVSP is unnecessary
and a further Fiscal Impact Assessment will not change the pre-determined park dedication requirements for
the NVSP.

Re: The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community Staff Report
1738 Bloor Street, 2056421 Ontario Inc. (The Preston Group)
Mayor and Members of Council,
KLM Planning Partners are the land use planners for 2056421 Ontario Inc. (Redwood Properties) (the
“Owners”) of 20.796 hectares of land legally described as Part of Lot 29 Concession 2 and municipally
known as 1738 Bloor Street (the “Subject Lands”), in the Municipality of Clarington. Our client had filed
development applications on December 14, 2023 to implement the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan.
We are writing this letter in response to "The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our
Community" Staff Report that was presented to the General Government Committee on April 8th, 2024.
An area of our client’s concern revolves around staff’s focus on the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
area. The report includes a section titled “Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan – a Visual of Potential Loss”
which indicates that some developers within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan (SECSP) area have
advocated for reductions in their parkland allocations. This section is then followed by Figure 5 of the
report (see Appendix A), which illustrates the potential loss of parkland based on revised parkland rates
under Bill 23. We question the purpose and accuracy of this figure as it appears to include the potential
removal of W & D Courtice Memorial Park, an existing City-owned park on the east side of Courtice Road,
just south of the future extension of Meadowglade Road. It is important to note that the Secondary Plan
contemplates the existing park to be expanded through the redevelopment of adjacent lands. We were
not made aware of the Municipality’s plans to remove the existing park in our recent discussions with
staff in relation to its proximity to our client’s proposed development application.
It is stated in the report by staff that without intervention, the Municipality faces the potential loss of at
least 8.5 hectares of parkland, resulting in the elimination of all five parkettes and three neighbourhood
parks. We’d like to understand how staff arrived at this figure as it seems to overstate any pre-Bill 23
calculation. We wish to clarify that our client’s proposed development is not in a parkland deficit nor are
we requesting reductions in parkland dedication.
The proposed development on the Subject Lands aims to address much-needed housing in a high-
density typology, providing entry-level housing mix upfront, rather than delaying these higher density
units to a later phase of the development of the Secondary Plan area. The high-density blocks proposed
through the Draft Plan of Subdivision have been considered in the calculations of parkland in
Page 56
Page 2 of 4
accordance with Bill 23 Requirements and Clarington's 2023 implementing Parkland Dedication By-law.
The proposed development of 1,308 high density residential units is required to provide approximately
1.658 hectares of parkland dedication. Currently, the proposed development provides a total of 1.894
hectares of parkland, which is well within the range of 1.5 to 3 hectares prescribed under the Secondary
Plan. We are actively working with staff on the configuration of the proposed parkland, however, we are
not seeking a reduction from the required parkland dedication.
It's crucial to note that our proposed parkland dedication aligns with the requirements outlined in the
Secondary Plan and exceeds the requirements of Bill 23. Furthermore, the Owner has revised their plans
and elected to not remove or realign existing environmental features as originally contemplated.
Instead, opting to leave them in situ and constructing a dry pond on their lands, which contributes to
the enhancement of ecological and hydrological functions in the area.
It was indicated in Section 4.6 of this report that:
“Staff are not in a position to negotiate away parkland that has been approved by Council and
importantly, reviewed and commented on by the public. As such, any changes within active
development applications in approved Secondary Plans would need to be re-evaluated and
sent back for public consultation. This would be in addition to the requirement for Council to
approve the proposed changes.”
The suggestion to revisit all Secondary Plans, including approved plans, such as the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan, and mandating additional public consultation through additional Official Plan
Amendment process, is impractical and unnecessary in our opinion and will significantly extend the
timeframes of a much needed form of housing and tenure. Public engagement remains a crucial aspect
of the implementing zoning amendment process, ensuring transparency and accountability regarding
any deviations from the Secondary Plan.
Through extensive discussions with Municipal staff, our client has committed to providing an excess of
parkland that incorporates the Municipality's essential programming needs, including a potential soccer
field. While the shape and location of this park may deviate slightly from the specifications outlined in
the Secondary Plan, it's important to recognize that the primary goal of the Secondary Plan is to facilitate
the orderly and appropriate development of lands. In light of our client’s dedication to exceeding
parkland requirements and accommodating essential community amenities, we believe that minor
deviations from the Secondary Plan are appropriate, particularly when they contribute positively to the
overall community well-being and infrastructure.
In conclusion, we urge Council to reconsider the implications and recommendations of this Staff Report
and to recognize our client’s commitment to providing a range and mix of much needed housing and
fulfilling the parkland dedication requirements associated with the proposed development while
enhancing the ecological, hydrological and recreational aspects of the surrounding community and
Secondary Plan as a whole. We do not believe there is a need to revisit approved Secondary Plans, which
would only result in unnecessary and further delays to the development approvals of much needed
housing developments, including our clients’.

We look forward to working with staff toward resolving these issues as our client’s development
applications proceed through the planning process. As the process moves forward, we kindly request
that we be notified of any updates or meetings dealing with this matter. Should you have any questions
or concerns regarding out comments, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours truly,

Re: The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community – CAO-
002-024
The Durham Region Home Builders’ Association (DRHBA) represents the
residential construction industry in Durham Region.
DRHBA was disappointed to see that Report CAO-002-24 – The Perfect Storm –
Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community was walked on at the April 8th
General Government Committee meeting, which provided no opportunity for
stakeholders to review the report and prepare correspondence and/or a delegation to
committee. As passing this report will not only have a substantial impact on the
development industry, it will also have a severely negative impact on the overall
growth of Clarington. Input from stakeholders should have been made a top priority
for Council. At no time did staff reach out to us to meet or discuss these issues
before preparing this report to council. These conversations could have provided
insight from the building industry and provided a clear and more accurate picture of
the impacts that the provincial legislation will have on growth in the Municipality of
Clarington.
We understand that Council relies on the expert information provided by staff to
inform their decisions and their votes, which is why it is essential that these reports
contain accurate information. Upon review, Report CAO-002-24 unfairly singles out
the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan, and within that section, it contains incorrect
information that needs to be addressed before Council can proceed to make a
decision on this issue.
These errors include:
• In Figure 5 – Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan Showing Potential Loss of
Parkland, staff have removed a park on Courtice Road that currently exists
and is owned by the municipality.
Page 62
• Also in Figure 5 – a park has been removed that has been agreed to by staff
and is part of a Draft Plan of Subdivision application – which means that park
will contractually be given to the municipality.
• Staff have also misrepresented the math used to calculate parkland
dedication by only using 1 hectare per 600 units and completely omitting the
5% dedication for low density sites.
It is clear that staff and council are upset that Clarington will not be receiving the $4
million from the provincial Building Faster Fund and that provincial legislation has
decreased the amount of parkland that developers are required to provide to the
Municipality when using the alternative rate However, staff and council’s response
to essentially shut down development in Clarington as a result of provincial decisions
and legislation is completely unfair not only to the development industry, but also to
future residents of Clarington.
The Municipality of Clarington has opportunities to finance parks through an updated
development charge bylaw and a Community Benefit Charge (CBC); however
neither of these avenues of funding are mentioned in the report.
If Council directs staff to stop all approvals while new Fiscal Impact Assessments
(FIAs) are conducted, it will essentially stop development in Clarington. Not only will
this slow growth, but it will add to the cost of that growth. Delays will lead to
increased housing prices in Clarington, and ultimately to an unavailability of housing
stock within Clarington, contrary to the pledge that the Municipality has made to the
province.
At a minimum, Council needs to remove Recommendation #3 from the report and
direct staff to provide a revised report that contains more accurate information.
As always, the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association welcomes the
opportunity to work with staff and Council to work through issues as they arise.
Sincerely,
Stacey Hawkins Executive Officer
Durham Region Home Builders’ Association

Annual Report from November 2022 to January 2024
Jeffrey Abrams, Principles Integrity, was present via electronic means regarding
the Integrity Commissioner's Annual Report from November 2022 to January 2024.
Jeffrey provided an overview of the Principles Integrity and explained they are the
Integrity Commissioner for approximately 60+ Ontario municipalities and other
public bodies. J. Abrams explained the role of the Integrity Commissioner, which
includes consulting, education, advisory, code of conduct complaints, and general
governance advice. Jeffrey explained that Clarington's engagement with the
Integrity Commissioner can be roughly divided into three areas including policy
development and education, advice and complaint investigation and resolution. J.
Adams highlighted ethical themes around the province, the rules against
disparagement, and concerns with members of Council overstepping their role.
Jeffrey concluded by thanking the Members of Council and that they look forward
to continuing to work with the Municipality of Clarington. J. Abrams answered
questions from the Members of Council.

Ron Hooper was present regarding the discontinuation of Clarington’s Task Force
on Affordable Housing (Report LGS-011-24 - Advisory Board and Committee’s
Terms of Reference Update). Ron provided some history on the Task Force and
reviewed their mandate. R. Hooper explained that a Policy and a Tool Kit were
being developed by working with surrounding Municipalities to assist with setting
goals towards affordable housing options. Ron explained that were trying to
provide housing initiatives and potential tax rebates and some of the projects
including Parkview in Newcastle and the Habitat for Humanity project on Spry
Avenue in Bowmanville. R. Hooper noted that, unfortunately, the Task Force
struggled to obtain quorum at several meetings which slowed down the progress.
Ron requested that the dissolution of the Task Force be reconsidered and is
disappointed that there was no consultation prior to this resolution. R. Hooper
asked if the Task Force is dissolved, then perhaps sub-committees of the CIP's can

Item 9.1- Parking on Clarington Streets
Resolution # C-033-24
Moved by Councillor Rang
Seconded by Councillor Elhajjeh
Whereas existing and new neighborhoods are experiencing a transition to higher
densities through additional dwelling units, increasing rates of car ownership, and
changing demographics to multigenerational living;
And whereas new neighborhood designs in particular townhouse developments,
are being proposed with narrower frontages and shallow lots reducing the
possibility of accommodating more than one parking space forcing residents to
park on the street, take over visitor parking, and convert fronts yards to parking;
Page 81
March 25, 2024
Council Minutes
12
And whereas these new dense neighborhood designs increase the safety risk for
children, pedestrians, and create operational constraints for municipal operations
like emergency response and snow removal;
Now therefore be it resolved that Staff report back on the following:
a. additional measures to design standards and zoning that could improve on-
street parking and visitor parking plans for new neighbourhoods;
b. review of parking opportunities within existing neighbourhoods and
implement methods to improve parking conflicts through additional signage
and enforcement;
c. include amendments to the Boulevard By-law.

Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
Re: Municipality of Clarington
April 22, 2024 Regular Council Meeting
Report CAO-002-24
Request to Defer or Refuse Recommendations
We are legal counsel to 2056421 Ontario Inc. (“2056421”). 2056421 owns lands in the Municipality
of Clarington (“Municipality”) municipally known as 1738 Bloor Street, Clarington and legally
described as Concession 2, Part Lot 29.
Redwood Properties (“Redwood”) is an established builder of condominium and apartment rental
buildings in the Greater Toronto Area. Redwood is the beneficial owner of the lands owned by
2056421 and intends to build vibrant, mixed-used communities in the Municipality.
We write to request that Council defer or refuse to accept the recommendations set out in Staff Report
CAO-002-24 dated April 8, 2024 (“Staff Report”). In particular, we request the Municipality defer
or refuse the third recommendation in the Staff Report, which recommends the Municipality not
approve Planning Act applications until a fiscal impact assessment is completed (“Recommendation
Three”).
Request to Defer: Lack of Time to Respond and Procedural Fairness
We ask the Municipality to defer this matter for consideration at a later date. At a minimum,
Recommendation Three should be deferred or refused. The Municipality has not afforded impacted
stakeholders sufficient time to consider this matter and provide meaningful submissions to Council.
The Staff Report purports to respond to legislative changes introduced by the More Homes Built Faster
Act, 2022, SO 2002, c. 21 (“Bill 23”). Bill 23 received Royal Assent on November 28, 2022 – more
Page 98
2
than one year and four months ago. The Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. Report attached to the
Staff Report is dated December 16, 2022 – again, more than one year ago.
Meanwhile, the Municipality’s General Government Committee considered the Staff Report on
April 8, 2024 (which was added as a late item to the agenda) and the Staff Report will be presented to
Council for adoption on April 22, 2024.
While the Municipality may consider this matter to be urgent, the rushed nature of this proposal denies
affected landowners and residents a meaningful opportunity to consider staff’s recommendations and
provide submissions to the Municipality. This is undemocratic and inexplicable given the passage of
time since Bill 23 received Royal Assent.
This is especially concerning in light of the recent introduction of Bill 185, Cutting Red Tape to Build
More Homes Act, 2024, which is relevant to matters raised in the Staff Report. The Municipality
should defer Recommendation Three until Bill 185 is enacted to better enable all stakeholders,
including the Municipality, to understand the impacts from the proposed legislative changes reflected
in Bill 185.
As of the date of this letter, neither the agenda nor any staff reports for the April 22, 2024 regular
meeting of Council are available on the City’s website. This exacerbates the lack of opportunity for
meaningful public participation in a matter that has broad implications for landowners in the
Municipality.
The Municipality’s approach in this instance is procedurally unfair to those who are most impacted,
including Redwood. Procedural fairness concerns the decision making process – the steps before,
during and after a decision is made. In this case, there was insufficient notice and a lack of time to
provide a meaningful response to the Staff Report with a consequent breach of the procedural fairness
owed by the Municipality to it ratepayers. Consequently, Recommendation Three should be deferred.
The Recommendation to Defer Planning Act Approvals Sets the Stage for Appeals
The Municipality has no legal basis upon which it can decide to refuse to receive or make a decision
regarding privately-initiated Planning Act applications. Among other matters, the Planning Act
provides a right for persons to apply to municipalities to amend the official plan, amend the zoning
by-law, for draft plan or subdivision approval or site plan approval. There are only limited
circumstances where a municipality can refuse to receive an application, none of which apply in the
present circumstance.
The ramifications of Recommendation Three are unclear. If the Municipality refuses to accept
Planning Act applications and engage with applicants in a review of those proposals, it runs the risk
of applicants turning to the Ontario Land Tribunal for direction and decision. Adopting
Recommendation Three may lead to increased appeals and motions regarding completeness of
applications (in addition to potential allegations of bad faith conduct on the part of the Municipality
for failing to exercise its responsibility under the Planning Act).
Redwood has a long history of working collaboratively with local and upper tier municipalities to
advance mutually-beneficial redevelopment projects. If Council adopts Recommendation Three,
Page 99
3
Redwood (and other landowners) may have limited recourse but to seek the assistance of the Tribunal
to adjudicate planning disputes between public and private interests.
Conclusion
We request the Municipality defer this item to provide a meaningful opportunity for input from
relevant stakeholders, including Redwood. The hurried approach to advancing this matter is not
reflective of the uncertain, significant and prejudicial implications this has for landowners and
ratepayers in the Municipality.
At a minimum, the Municipality should defer consideration of Recommendation Number Three or
dissociate the proposed pause on Planning Act approvals from the commencement of the fiscal impact
assessments.
Very truly,

Attention: Mayor Foster and Members of Council
RE: The Perfect Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community
Report CAO-002-24
Municipality of Clarington
TBG Project Number 24153
On behalf of the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association (“DRHBA”), The Biglieri Group Ltd.
(“TBG”) is submitting the following comments with respect to Report CAO-002-24 - The Perfect
Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community (“Report”). The Report was presented
and discussed at the Municipality of Clarington General Government Committee (“GCC”) on April
8, 2024. As the Report was a late addition to the agenda, TBG nor members of DRHBA had an
opportunity to review the Report or speak to it at the GCC meeting.
REPORT CAO-002-24 OVERVIEW
The Report discusses anticipated funding for meeting pledged housing targets from the
Province’s Building Faster Fund that would have allocated financial resources to fund
infrastructure and parks needs in Clarington. While funding was expected, it was not granted due
to a discrepancy between the Municipality and CMHC in what constitutes a “start” for the
construction of new housing.
The Report also speaks to a number of items stemming from Provincial legislation that ultimately
reduces the amount of parkland dedication the Municipality will receive and the ability to provide
community parkland to residents. In particular, the Report identifies forty-six (46) hectares of
parkland that was anticipated within the Municipality’s Secondary Plans and the potential shortfall
as a result of reduced parkland dedication requirements within Bill 23. The Report states a
potential loss of twenty-three (23) hectares of parkland identified within Secondary Plan areas.
Lastly, the Report speaks to the need to complete new Fiscal Impact Analyses (“FIA”) for the
various Secondary Plans, including four (4) that have already received final approval from Durham
Region and have active development applications. Completing new FIAs may result in changes
to the Secondary Plans and will impact the timing of approving pending Secondary Plans and
site-specific development applications. These delays will further affect the Municipality’s ability to
meet pledged housing targets.

CONSULTATION
This Report was added to the agenda shortly before the GCC meeting started. Given the
implications on the development approvals process and getting shovels in the ground for urgently
needed housing, DRHBA finds the implications of the Report and how it was presented to GCC
to be a slight to the industry. DRHBA, and the development community as a whole, are partners
with the Municipality in building new and established communities. Advance notice of the Report,
or even including it when the GGC agenda was originally posted, would have allowed members
to review the Report, talk to staff, and/or speak at the meeting.
HOUSING TARGETS
The Municipality of Clarington made a pledge to the Province of Ontario to deal with the housing
crisis by building 13,000 residential units by 2031. The Province provided a target for the
Municipality to start 953 new units for the year 2023. It was believed that the target was met,
however, due to a discrepancy in how a housing “start” is defined, Clarington did not reach the
target for 2023. Upon review of the Report and the apparent discrepancy, we encourage the
Municipality to resolve this issue with the Province. In TBG’s review, it would appear that the target
was met, and that the Municipality should be eligible for the funding. The DRHBA would be happy
to be involved with and assist in these discussions.
PARKLAND
Parkland is dedicated to the Municipality at rates prescribed by the Municipality’s Parkland
Dedication By-law and The Planning Act. Parkland is provided as either land dedication or
Payment in Lieu (“PIL”). The Municipality’s Parkland Dedication By-law requires that land or PIL
is provided at the greater of either the standard rate of 2% for commercial or industrial
developable land / 5% for residential and all other lands, or at the alternative rate as provided for
in The Planning Act, which is currently a rate of 1 hectare for 600 residential units as land or 1
hectare for 1,000 residential units as PIL. The Planning Act also has a cap on the amount of
parkland dedication should the alternative rate be used, which is 10% of the land or PIL for
development lands that are five (5) hectares or less, and 15% for development lands that are
greater than five (5) hectares.
The Report indicates that the amount of Parkland (or PIL) the Municipality will receive will be
reduced by 50% as a result of the legislative changes. This assumes that all parkland dedication
will be based on the alternative rate. This is typically the case for medium and high density
developments where the alternative rate may be higher. However, low density developments may
offer parkland at the standard rate of 5%. The majority of the new secondary plans are greenfield
where parkland will be provided at the standard rate through low density developments. As the
rate would be determined through processing of individual development applications, strictly
using the alternative rates in the Report paints a picture that is not reflective of the true amount of
parkland (or PIL) that will be dedicated to the Municipality.
The Report identifies forty-six (46) hectares of parkland within Secondary Plan areas, which is
taken from the March 2024 Phase 1: Background and Existing Conditions Summary Report
prepared for the Municipality’s Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan (“Parks Background
Report”). The Parks Background Report also notes that the timing and development of parks
Page 103
THE BIGLIERI GROUP LTD.
3
within Secondary Plan Areas is not defined and may not take place during the planning period
examined (between 2021 to 2036). Further, the Parks Background Report also notes that
parkland requirements per The Planning Act may further change, and that the amount of future
parkland within some of the ongoing Secondary Plan studies may increase, subject to
negotiations.
While the Report notes a loss of twenty-three (23) hectares of parkland, ultimately, the amount of
parkland dedication required will be determined during the site-specific development approval
process based on the rates legislated at that time. Simply cutting the amount of parkland in half
is not an accurate assessment. We challenge this statement in the report and suggest
Clarington’s consultant clarify this statement.
There are also other opportunities to ensure parkland provisions support the needs of the
Municipality through the Parkland Dedication By-law and Official Plan (currently subject to a
comprehensive review). Allowance for stratified parks as of right (i.e., parkland above structured
underground stormwater management facilities) can provide additional parkland and open space
needs for residents.
Table 1 of the Report assesses the potential loss in revenue to the Municipality for parkland PIL
as a result of Bill 23 and the lesser payment (1 hectare for 1,000 units) and cap of 10% or 15%.
Upon review of the calculated revenue, it is unclear whether the calculations are accurate as the
land area and land value for each of the examples are not provided.
Based on the “Rate Prior to Bill 23” of $344,000 PIL for Example A, we have determined that the
site is 1 hectare in size with a land value of $4,000,000/ha. The PIL Post Bill 23 would therefore
be $172,000 as the new Alternative rate results in a 50% reduction. The Report states this revenue
at $192,000 which does not appear to be an accurate calculation. Further, the Report references
a valuation of land in Clarington at $5,000.000/ha, which is inconsistent with the calculated
valuation used for Table 1.
As such, the potential revenues for each example presented in Table 1 cannot be verified. Further,
Table 1 does not use a low density example where the parkland requirements would not change.
SECONDARY PLAN APPROVALS
Since 2017 the Municipality initiated a program to prepare twelve (12) new and updated
Secondary Plans, of which only four (4) have been completed and approved. There have been
significant delays in getting the remaining Secondary Plans approved and processing site-
specific development applications within these lands. The Report notes that Fiscal Impact
Analyses were conducted for each Secondary Plan and provided through the community
consultation process. It is also noted that these Fiscal Impact Analyses may need to be updated.
Conducting these updates will take significant time and financial commitments resulting in
additional delays in approving Secondary Plans and site-specific development applications.
Further delays to the outstanding Secondary Plan approvals – and site-specific development
applications within approved Secondary Plans – will jeopardize the ability to move forward with
development applications and ultimately the construction of new housing. These construction
delays will certainly guarantee the Municipality will miss future housing targets and associated
provincial funding.

CONCLUSION
Updating Fiscal Impact Analyses will not change provincial legislation. While updates may
provide a better understanding of the impacts stemming from the new legislation, they will not
get ‘shovels in the ground’ – which is ultimately contrary to the point of the legislation itself. Further,
in the current environment it is not practical, nor efficient use of public funds, to update such high
level analyses every time legislation changes – as the rate of legislative change in recent years
has been significant. Legislation could well change again in the coming months, producing
different parkland dedication requirements or payments through Development Charges – recent
introduction of Bill 185 as evidence. As such, updating the Fiscal Impact Analyses, or preparing
any other study that delays Secondary Plans approvals and processing of site-specific
development applications, is unwarranted. It will only add additional costs associated with these
delays. Further, these Fiscal Impact Analyses may be duplicating the work that is being currently
being conducted as part of the Municipality’s Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan. That
process is the appropriate vehicle to examine the impacts of Bill 23 (and other pieces of
legislation) on municipal parkland dedication matters. The land use permissions and height and
density provisions in the Secondary Plans should remain in force and continue to guide
development approvals.
The timing to approve Secondary Plans has been substantial since the program was initiated.
The Fiscal Impact Analyses are not necessary and will only cause further delays. The Municipality
needs to move forward with approving the outstanding Secondary Plans and continue to process
site-specific development applications. We request Council not adopt Recommendation #3.
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the undersigned
at your earliest convenience.

Bowmanville, ON L1C 3A6 Dear Mayor and Members of Council: Re: Item 7.1.2 General Government Committee Proposed response to Bill 23, The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 We are legal counsel to Minto Communities Inc. ("Minto") who is a member of the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group (the "Landowner's Group"). Our client has an interest in 2149
Courtice Road, Clarington (the "Property") which falls within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. The purpose of this letter is to urge Council not to accept Recommendation 3 of Report Number CAO-002-24. Specifically, our client objects to the proposal:
“That Fiscal Impact Assessments be undertaken for all Secondary Plans (inclusive of those completed) to understand the full impact of the legislative changes on each, in particular parkland and DC revenues, and report back to Council prior to any
further approvals (inclusive of development application approvals);”
This proposal is contrary to the legislative obligations of the Municipality, as well as public policy and the needs of residents of both Clarington and Ontario. It will lead to delays in the delivery of much needed housing and result in time wasted in appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal, rather
than spent in cooperative dialogue between the parties. In short, it is bad public policy that has
been brought to Council on a rushed basis (despite its underlying concerns being almost a year and a half old) in a manner that is, itself, contrary to good governance.

Proposal Will Make the Housing Crisis Worse Our client is in the process of finalizing its rezoning and draft plan of subdivision approvals for the Property and is facing “an administrative hard stop” if the above motion is adopted by Council
and is implemented. We note that this action would be against the spirit of Bill 23, The More
Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 and will delay the delivery of approximately 1,100 units to the Municipality. The recommendation would even run counter to what the Municipal CAO highlights in the report:
“Housing affordability has become one of the most pressing and challenging issues
impacting communities of all sizes across Ontario.”
“Bill 23 is part of a long-term strategy to help build more homes and make life more affordable for Ontario families.”
By freezing the review of live applications (such as our client’s) it is only going to exacerbate the
situation in the Municipality. Yes, Bill 23 will impact the Municipality in how it acquires parkland. However, it does not preclude the Municipality from acquiring land it desires above what the Planning Act presently permits.
Our client is united with the rest of the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group in its opposition to
Recommendation No. 3 and trust that upon a more thorough consideration of its impact that Council does not move forward with it. Minto Wants to Work with Clarington to Find Positive Solutions
Our client has already met with the Deputy CAO, Planning and Infrastructure in order to detail the significant impact this “revisit” of the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan will have.
Any delay will put our client in a situation where they will have to make a decision with respect to options to finalize the review of the already in process applications. One of those options is not
what our client wants, and we trust the Municipality does not want as well…relying on the Ontario
Land Tribunal for direction. We will not speak for others, but they will be making the same choice as well all because of the rash decision to consider a strategy to run counter to public policy and, frankly, need, in the Province.
Our client looks forward to working with staff and Council to finalize the applications that are
before the Municipality today. We request that we are to be notified of any updates or meetings dealing with this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding our comments, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.
Yours truly,

RE: The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community
CAO-002-024
Regular Council Meeting – April 22, 2024
The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) has recently received the
staff report titled "The Perfect Storm – Impact of Provincial Changes on our Community,"
which was endorsed on April 8th at the General Government Committee and is now
scheduled to be brought forward at Council on April 22nd.
BILD and our Durham members have thoroughly reviewed this report and are expressing
significant concern regarding the tone and inevitable consequences of the outlined actions,
which will negatively impact the creation of new homes in Clarington. BILD has engaged in
extensive discussions with our affiliate association, the Durham Region Home Builders’
Association (DRHBA). BILD is in alignment with and supportive of the submissions provided
by DRHBA, as well as those from our respective members.
Our overarching concern stems from staff's omission to engage the industry in consultation
regarding the recommendations outlined in this report, which have direct implications for
homebuilding and growth in Clarington. Consultation with the development industry fosters
transparent dialogue, provides an opportunity to resolve issues and prevent misinformation,
and mitigates the type of correspondences currently before Council on this report.
While there are numerous concerns within this report, we believe that at a minimum the
following warrant further discussion through consultation with staff and the industry:
• The halting of all approvals pending the completion of new Financial Impact
Assessments for all Secondary Plans.
• Staff's calculations used to determine parkland dedication appear to be inaccurate.
Specifically, they have utilized a formula of 1 hectare per 600 units while omitting
the 5% dedication requirement for low-density sites. Additionally, there are
inaccuracies in the language in this report regarding developers and the
provincially regulated parkland contributions set out by the Planning Act.
Given the housing crisis in Ontario, it is imperative that municipalities pursue proactive
solutions to support housing development rather than reacting based on misinformed
reports. Council must recognize that the measures outlined in this report will effectively halt
all development in Clarington, making it exceedingly challenging to fulfill the housing targets
established in the Housing Pledge signed by Council in March of 2023.
Page 108

BILD strongly recommends that Council defer consideration of this report and instruct
staff to engage with the development industry to assist in providing a revised report that
contains vetted and fair information.
We trust you will take all of the comments submitted into careful consideration. Please
contact the undersigned for future discussions.
Kind regards,

Attention: Mayor Adrian Foster and
Members of Council
Re: Report CAO-002-24, The Perfect Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on our
Community
Resolution #GG-067-24
Regular Council Meeting – April 22, 2024
We are the lawyers for the Durham Region Home Builders’ Association (“DRHBA”) with respect
to the above noted item.
DRHBA has reviewed Report CAO-002-24, The Perfect Storm, and its members are
disappointed with the antagonistic tone of the Report and are deeply concerned with the
implications, in particular, should Council accept staff recommendation 3, to undertake Fiscal
Impact Assessments for all Secondary Plans prior to any further approvals with a potential to
reschedule secondary planning and site-specific applications. Such actions will further delay
housing delivery and increase housing costs, counteracting both provincial and local efforts to
accelerate housing and improve affordability. As staff acknowledges in the Report, the
recommendations will further impact the Municipality’s ability to meet its housing pledge.
DRHBA requests that Council refuse to adopt recommendation 3 and prevent unnecessarily
restarting or reopening secondary plans as this will directly lead to significant housing delays
and increased costs to both the Municipality and the industry and ultimately eroding affordability
gains achieved through the legislative changes made through the Bill 23, More Homes Built
Faster Act, 2022.
DRHBA is the voice of the residential construction industry in Durham Region and for over 70
years has been a partner in ensuring local and regional policies, programs and fees support
building beautiful neighbourhoods in Durham. The Report’s attempt to frame developers as
taking parkland away from communities at the expense of taxpayers is inflammatory and
misrepresents the reality that municipal charges (including gratuitous parkland dedications)
imposed on new development necessarily impact affordability and the industry’s ability to deliver
housing. DRHBA’s members have also identified errors in the examples presented in the Report
and have advised they are indeed providing parkland consistent with proposed secondary plan
Page 110
April 18, 2024
Page 2
policies, suggesting any reduction in anticipated parkland is, at best, exaggerated. To be clear,
to the extent there are reductions, developers are not improperly demanding reduced parkland
to enrich themselves but are acting in compliance with provincial legislation, as the Municipality
is also required to do. Should the Municipality choose to purchase lands beyond that required to
be dedicated under the Planning Act, it can be presumed to be doing so at the cost of and for
the benefit of all taxpayers in the best interest of the municipality, and not to place an undue
burden on new home buyers.
While municipalities do not control when a developer decides to pull a permit, the Municipality
can ensure its important role in community building, including processing development
applications and advancing community-wide planning, is undertaken efficiently and in good
faith. We ask that the Municipality confirm its commitment to honour the extensive secondary
planning work undertaken to date and proceed to process development applications across the
Municipality, as it is required to do at law.
DRHBA appreciates the opportunity to submit comments and thanks Council for its
consideration of its request. DRHBA looks forward to continuing to work with the Municipality to
ensure its members’ efforts to get homes built quickly and affordably are not interrupted by
unnecessary and unproductive planning delays.

Re: Report CAO-002-24, The Perfect Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on our
Community
Regular Council Meeting – April 22, 2024
We are counsel to Brookfield Residential (Ontario) Limited (“Brookfield”), the owner of lands in
Clarington which includes approximately 39.96 hectares in the proposed Courtice Transit-
Oriented Community Secondary Plan (“CTOCSP”), and lands in the Southeast Courtice
Secondary Plan (“SECSP”) for which Brookfield currently has development applications for 76
street townhouse units plus one Medium Density Regional Corridor Block in the Municipality’s
second stage pre-consultation process. Brookfield has reviewed the above-noted Report and is
very concerned with the delay, lost planning and technical work, and diminished goodwill
amongst stakeholders that will result should recommendation 3 be adopted. Brookfield requests
Council refuse to adopt recommendation 3 to the extent any further Fiscal Impact Assessments
be permitted to create any delay in advancing secondary planning or development application
review and approvals.
Brookfield has been involved in the planning for the SECSP and proposed CTOCSP, investing
significant time and resources into the Municipality’s process. Planning for these areas began
before Bill 23, More Homes More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, and has since continued, and
Brookfield sees no planning or legal basis for halting the planning and development of these
communities. Brookfield is concerned with the Report’s failure to recognize applicable law,
which all stakeholders must follow, and to consider the implications of excess parkland
dedication on the ability of owners to deliver on local, provincial, and national housing supply
and affordability goals. We note Brookfield also recently provided comments to Community
Planning regarding the December 2023 draft CTOCSP and urban design guidelines, which raise
legitimate and specific planning concerns with the proposed land use requirements and
restrictions which significantly impact the lands available for residential and mixed-use
development and risk achievement of the overarching vision of the CTOCSP.
Page 112
April 18, 2024

Brookfield remains committed to the successful development of communities in Clarington and
asks the Municipality commit to transparent and efficient planning processes to ensure these
communities can be developed quickly and affordably, such that community benefits, including
parkland contributions and development charges required in accordance with applicable
legislation, can occur without undue delay.
Brookfield appreciates the opportunity to submit comments and thanks Council for its
consideration of its request. We request to be provided with written notice of any actions or
decisions made by Council or committees respecting this matter.

Secondary Plan, the Southwest Courtice Secondary Plan, and Courtice TOC Secondary Plan Area,
as illustrated in the attached Landownership Maps (Appendix A).
Accompanying this letter are additional submissions from our Planning Consultant, GHD Limited,
and our Planning Lawyer, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, included as Appendix Band Appendix C,
respectively. These letters have been submitted to Council directly as well.
We wish to express our concern regarding how the report was handled-specifically, its addition
to the meeting agenda merely one business day prior to the meeting. This timing did not allow
adequate opportunity for the public and stakeholders to fully comprehend the issues and their
implications. Notably, recommendation no. 3 suggests halting further development approvals
until a Fiscal Impact Assessment is completed-a measure that, in our view, requires more
thorough discussion with the development committee and broader engagement with
landowners.
The members of the Groups have been significant contributors to the community for decades.
For the past eight years, we have collaborated closely with the Municipality on various secondary
plans in south Courtice. The SE Courtice LOG was instrumental in the adoption and approval of
the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan in 2020. Similarly, the SW Courtice landowners played a
key role in the adoption and approval of the Southwest Courtice Secondary Plan, while the CTOC
LOG continues to work diligently on advancing the Courtice TOC Secondary Plan with the
Municipality.

Collectively, the SE Courtice and SW Courtice LOGs have invested millions into the community
and have recently contributed $1.13 million towards affordable housing, with an additional $1.13
million committed over the coming years.
We are concerned that the staff report has unfairly singled out the SE Courtice Landowners
Group, mischaracterizing our compliance with parkland requirements. As detailed in the letter
from GHD Limited dated April 18th, these allegations are both inaccurate and misleading.
We strongly urge the Council to defer the Report and to remove Recommendation No. 3. It is
crucial that the Municipality does not delay approval of development applications that align
with the Planning Act and approved secondary plans. We also request continued advancement
of active plans, like the Courtice TOC Secondary Plan, ensuring alignment with provincial
policies and guidelines.
The Groups are committed to working with the Municipality to ensure that obligations regarding
parklands are met to support current and future residents within the various Secondary Plans
areas. The Groups are dedicated to providing much-needed housing and are actively
collaborating with the Municipality and the Region and are advancing approximately $15 million
worth of infrastructure projects over the next 12-16 months to support development in SE
Courtice, SW Courtice, and Courtice TOC.
Thank you for considering our position. We look forward to your support and to a constructive
dialogue on these matters.
Yours very truly,
On behalf of:

Municipality of Clarington
Office of the Municipal Clerk
Attn. Members of Council
April 8, 2024 General Government Committee - CAO Report 002-24
Southeast Courtice Landowners Group
Dear Mayor Foster and Members of Council
We are the planning consultants for the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group (SECLOG), a landowners
group who collectively own the majority of the land located within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan
(The SECSP).
On behalf of the SECLOG we are writing in response to CAO Report 002-24 which was recently presented at
the April 8, 2024 Clarington General Government Committee meeting. More specifically, we are writing to
address and correct some of the park dedication information provided in the report pertaining to the SECSP.
CAO Report 002-24, specifically page 11 under the heading ‘Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan – a Visual of
Potential Loss’, indicates that some developers within the Secondary Plan are demanding that their park
allocations be reduced, implying that reduced park sizes are being proposed through development applications
and hence providing less park area than required in the Secondary Plan. Section 4.13 of the CAO report
continues that “Figure 5 shows the potential loss of parkland within the SECSP area based on the new
parkland rates under the Planning Act. Without intervention, the Municipality has the potential to lose a
minimum of 8.5 hectares of parkland within the SECSP area, ultimately eliminating all five parkettes and 3
neighbourhood parks.”
This statement implies that landowners within the SECSP have suggested to staff that park sizes in their
respective draft plan of subdivisions are or will be reduced. This is inaccurate and misleading.
For context, the policies of the SECSP provides a Neighbourhood Park size range between 1.5 hectares and
3.0 hectares. The policies of the Secondary Plan also clarify that the exact size of parks are to be determined
at the time of development application review. We can confirm that each of the participating Landowner Group
members with active development review applications with Clarington (either in pre-consultation review stage
or draft plan approved) are providing neighbourhood park sizes consistent with the noted policies of the
Secondary Plan. These applications and park sizes are summarized below:
x Tribute (Courtice) Limited (SC-2021-006)– 1.13 hectare Neighbourhood Park (Note that this park size
has been formally reviewed and accepted by Clarington Planning staff)
x Tribute (King Street) Limited (SC-2021-007) – 1.64 hectare Neighbourhood Park (draft approved)
x Brookfield Residential (Ontario) Limited – 1.4 hectare Neighbourhood Park
x Minto Communities Inc. (SC-2022-0012) – 1.5 hectare Neighbourhood Park
x Redwood Properties – 1.89 hectare Neighbourhood Park
Page 121
11148794 | Letter to Clarington re. CAO Report 002-24 2
In summary, as applicable to active SECSP development applications, the policies of the SECSP require a
minimum of 7.5 hectares of neighbourhood park area and these applications collectively are providing 7.56
hectares of neighbourhood park. Based on this information, the statements in the staff report that the
landowners are seeking reduced park areas less than the policies of the SECSP is inaccurate.
Further, the CAO report does not delineate between participating and non-participating landowners in the
SECSP area and does not illustrate the significant land area that has no active development application with
the Municipality. Figure 5 of the staff report identifies ‘removed parkland (eligible for development)’ on lands in
the north-east quadrant of the SECSP area that are not part of the SECLOG and do not have active
development applications with the Municipality. Figure 5 also includes the existing Courtice Memorial Park,
which is owned by the Municipality as a ‘removed parkland’. Figure 5 is inaccurate and does not accurately
reflect the parklands that are being provided, the existing municipal park and the future parks.
To better explain this information, the attached park review chart illustrates the anticipated area of each park in
the SECSP, the area of each park in active development applications and the anticipated future park areas for
non-participating lands. This chart confirms that the overall park areas exceed the minimum park areas
required in the SEC Secondary Plan.
In conclusion, the participating landowners with active applications with Clarington are providing the park sizes
consistent with the policies of the SECSP.

Scott Waterhouse, RPP Planning Manager

40 Temperance Street, 2nd Floor
Bowmanville, ON L1C 3A6
Dear Mayor and Members of Council:
RE: April 22, 2024 Council meeting Agenda item 7.1.2
Report CAO-002-24
We are counsel to the Southeast Courtice Landowners Group Inc., the South
West Courtice Landowners Group Inc. and the Courtice TOC Landowners
Groups Inc. (collectively the “Groups”). Together, the Groups own the majority of the
lands within the South Courtice area that are projected to deliver 9,172 of the 13,423
units that are included in the Municipality’s Housing Target pledge1 by 2031.
Our clients have reviewed with concern staff report CAO-002-24 (the “Report”).
If Council adopts Recommendation 3 of the Report, the ability of the Groups to deliver
much needed housing to meet Clarington’s Housing Target will be significantly impaired.
We understand that the Report was added late to the Agenda and was presented at the
April 8, 2024 General Government Committee (GGC) meeting, with little notice,
limiting the ability of affected stakeholders to comment. Recommendation 3 suggests
that no further development approvals be given prior to a Fiscal Impact Assessment
being completed. This would include development application approvals within
secondary plans that are approved and in force, and would include applications that
are in conformity with, and implement, those in force plans. This recommendation is
based on the incorrect premise that Clarington is potentially facing a 50% reduction of
parkland as a result of legislative changes initiated by the provincial government in Bill
23.
The requirements for parkland are clearly established by the Planning Act, as amended by
Bill 23. The maximum rate set by law for residential development is either 5% of the land
included in a plan of subdivision or 1 hectare for 600 units proposed. If a municipality
has in place a parkland by-law that applies higher dedication rates than are in the Act,
then the maximum rates in the Act apply.
1 Report PDS-0090-23
Page 126
Page 2
Contrary to the claims made in the Report, all members of the Groups and landowners
within the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan area (which is singled out in the staff
report) are meeting their parkland requirements by including parkland at the 5% rate,
which was unchanged by Bill 23. This includes parkland that is already draft plan
approved,2 as well as applications for draft plan approval that have been made and staff
have confirmed they are satisfied with the parkland proposed.3
The map on page 13 of the staff report shows the park that is the subject of a draft plan
application by Tribute (Courtice) Limited as being “removed”, despite the fact that an
application has been filed clearly showing the parkland in the approved location. The
suggestion that 50% of the parkland will be lost based on the Bill 23 changes does not
take into consideration the fact that most greenfield plans of subdivision use the
unchanged 5% rate. It is also based on an inaccurate and misleading representation of
what is actually being proposed by members of the Groups.
On behalf of the Groups, we urge Council to not pause the consideration or approval of
development applications, and not approve Recommendation #3. The approval of that
Recommendation will almost certainly lead to appeals being filed to the Ontario Land
Tribunal, which will lead to increased costs and delay in the delivery of needed housing.
Yours truly,
Chris Barnett

Memo #: Memo-002-24
Re: Clarification Update on The Perfect Storm Report
Regarding CAO-002-24 - The Perfect Storm - Impact of Provincial Changes on our
Community, please note the following:
It is important to note that staff’s recommendations in this report will not stop the
processing of development applications. We will continue to process active
applications within Secondary Plan areas, as well as new ones as they come in. The
fiscal impact assessment is not a new requirement and is a critical piece of good
planning. An updated assessment for each Secondary Plan would need to be
completed as part of bringing any development application recommendation to
Council for approval.
For items 4.12 and 4.13, Figure 4 and Figure 5 demonstrate a visual of the potential
loss of half the parkland in the Southeast Courtice Secondary Plan. For clarity, this
visual is for illustrative purposes only to demonstrate the amount of parkland before
and after Bill 23 under the Planning Act.
Further, since this report was discussed on April 8, 2024, the Province of Ontario
has introduced Bill 185, the proposed Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act,
2024 (April 10, 2024) and an updated Provincial Planning Statement, which propose
changes to the Planning Act, Development Charges Act and Municipal Act. This
legislation would reduce the impact to development charges as outlined in item 5.2
of this report, but would not impact parkland dedication. Staff are working through
the potential impacts of this additional legislation, and will bring a report to
committee.

have indicated that they will be following the allotment provided for under Bill 23 rather
than the previously approved land use plans. Staff are committed to working with the
development community to find a collaborative path forward to develop complete
communities and grow responsibly.

1. Call To Order and Welcome – by Chairperson Kate.
Kate updated the committee re Leo’s situation and circulated a get well card
for members to sign.
Kate also reported that Samantha Hansen has advised her that she will be
leaving the committee.
2. Additions To The Agenda / Adoption Of The Agenda – moved by Rod
McArthur, seconded by Leah Bourgeois that the agenda be adopted.
CARRIED
3. Adoption Of Minutes Of Previous Meeting - moved by Leah Bourgeois,
seconded by Carmen Aeillo that the minutes of the meeting of January 16th,
2024, be approved. CARRIED
4. Committee Administration
a. Terms of Reference – Ken advised that these will be going to Council
on March 4th. On the agenda for that meeting and related to this item,
Page 136
is the request for an additional member. ( It now appears that we will
need two). We will have the opportunity to see them again following
approval by Council.
Q - Are we supposed to be sending minutes to MNRF and/or GRCA?
A – No formal requirement to do so. It appears that MNRF’s role vis a
vis SWNA was limited to the time surrounding the establishment of
SWNA. It was suggested that the Terms of Reference could include
phrasing such as “SWNA minutes are accessible through the Municipal
website. “
Suggestion: that we submit an annual written report to Council
concerning our overall activities during the year. An actual
presentation to Council could also be requested.
5. SWNA Workplan:
a. This quarter
i. LEAF program – Leah reported that discussions are ongoing.
After some discussion, it was agreed that Leah and Ken will
discuss the possibility of doing something with “ in-house “
resources ( eg our arborist ) and/or someone from eg GRCA.
This relates to the “ educational” aspects of the programme –
tree identification, appropriate species for planting etc . With
respect to any actual plantings on SWNA lands, this will be
budget driven.
ii. Our target date remains the month of June

Brian to coordinate.
iii. Invasive weed removal – Tom suggested that this should be
done “ strategically” with a plan to target different species,
time frames etc. This will require a “ mapping “ of patches of
invasives ( possibly to be done at the time of our spring
cleanup ) and establishing priorities. It was noted that
Himalayan balsam and garlic mustard might be good places to
start. We could also endeavour to seek some external
expertise from eg GRCA, DRFN etc.

applying for funding

drought etc ) that contributed to this. He noted that Monarch
populations have suffered declines in the past but can bounce
back

been deferred to next year

of clearing and cultivating a small area near the entrance to

5a. Presentation on Four Farms Market Garden Training – Michael Longarini
Michael Longarini provided a presentation on Four Farms Market Garden Training –
a new agriculture training course that’s been put together by local farmers. The training is put on by four farmers with diverse agricultural backgrounds including homesteading, small-scale farming, foraging, and farmer’s markets. The training will take place over six weekends this spring and will cover topics like soil science, technology, vegetable farming, and the economics of a farm business. The course
is aimed at aspiring farmers, hobby farmers who are interested in expanding, and
Page 147
Agricultural Advisory Committee of Clarington March 14, 2024
farm staff. The group is hoping to build the agricultural labour market in Durham and collaborate with partners like Durham College to foster innovation.
M. Longarini answered questions from the Committee. He noted that smaller farms, which are increasingly common as land has been divided, are able to be very productive if managed efficiently and that these farms are often how first-generation farmers start. He noted how farmer’s markets play an important role in demonstrating to the public that food is produced locally and in raising the profile of
agriculture. The farms involved in this training don’t use synthetic fertilizers and pesticides but are not ideologically opposed.
The Committee suggested that specialized training, earlier in the year could be helpful for training farm staff, as individual farms may not have the resources to do training in house.
H. Zekveld thanked M. Longarini for presenting to the Committee.
6. Business Arising from Previous Meeting
6a. Consultation on Land Division Applications
S. Jennings advised that consultation on land division applications will follow the same process as it has in the past with DAAC commenting on the Regional Official
Plan Amendment that would accompany a land division application to consolidate non-abutting farm parcels. She advised that the turn around time for land division applications is too short to consult with this Committee.

the new traffic lights installed on Enfield Road at Concession 7 and Concession 8. Clarington engineering has contacted the Region and is passing along the Committee’s concerns. S. Jennings will report back at the next meeting if a rationale is given for why the lights were installed.

Page 148

based on the amount of impervious surface on a parcel. Some farms, such as those with greenhouses, are facing large fees.

The Committee requested to be consulted if Clarington considers implementing this
charge.
