Report Overview
The Municipality is currently undertaking work to update the Development Charges (DC)
Background Study and corresponding by-law. As part of this process, staff are reviewing and
updating the 10-year growth-related capital program, along with population and employment
growth projections.
In addition to the DC Study, staff are also undertaking the steps necessary to implement the
Municipality’s first Community Benefits Charge (CBC) and corresponding By-law. A CBC
Strategy, inclusive of a 10-year growth related capital program, is being prepared in
conjunction with the DC Background Study.
The Municipality has retained Hemson Consulting (Hemson) to update it’s DC Background
Study and By-law, as well as to prepare the CBC Strategy and corresponding By-law.
Staff are seeking Council endorsement of the 10 -year development forecast that has been
used to derive the capital program for both the DC Study and CBC Strategy. Draft capital
programs and rates have been provided, but are subject to change based on further
consultation and review. The final draft of the capital programs and rates will be released
prior to the proposed public meeting on April 7th. Additional changes may be made to the
capital programs and rate inputs following the public consultation process.
1. Background
1.1 Development Charges (DCs) are a crucial cost recovery mechanism used by
municipalities to aid in financing essential growth-related infrastructure. In the absence
of DCs, the financial responsibility of growth-related infrastructure would be pushed onto
the general tax levy. Under the Development Charges (DC) Act, 1997, c. 27, s. 2(1):
“A municipality may impose development charges by by-law to cover capital costs
arising from increased service needs due to area development.”
1.2 The Municipality’s existing DC By-Law will expire on January 19, 2026. Thus, to
maintain the ability to collect development charges and fund growth related
infrastructure, a new DC By-law must be passed before the date of expiry.
1.3 Hemson Consulting has been retained to update the current DC Background Study and
associated By-law. As part of this process, Municipal staff and Hemson have reviewed
and updated the 10-year growth-related capital program along with population and
employment growth projections. This process also includes examining the current By-
Law’s definitions, rules, exemptions and credits, and proposing updates that account for
recent legislative changes.
Municipality of Clarington Page 3
Report FSD-005-25
1.4 The update process began on February 28, 2024, with an internal kick-off meeting
involving Hemson Consulting and Municipal staff. Departments across the municipality
contributed to developing the draft 10-year growth-related capital program, which will
form the foundation for the updated DC rate calculations. This update integrates
ongoing and completed master plans (such as the recently adopted Parks, Recreation,
and Culture Master Plan), secondary plans, and other key data, ensuring a more
detailed and accurate capital program. The update also includes updated infrastructure
cost estimates, which are based on recent tenders.
1.5 Staff and Hemson are also reviewing the current DC By-law to ensure that terminology
is updated and clearly defined. A review of existing DC exemptions in the Municipality’s
by-law is being conducted to ensure alignment with best practice, the Municipality’s
development goals, and to reflect any changes to the Development Charges Act.
1.6 Community feedback, including input from the public and development industry will be
actively sought to ensure a transparent and inclusive process. An initial information
session with developers took place on January 7th, with a second session to be held at
the end of February to discuss the draft DC rates. The 2025 DC Background Study and
draft By-law is scheduled to be released publicly on March 24th. A Statutory Public
Meeting is planned for the GGC meeting on April 7th, with the new DC By-Law expected
to be presented for approval at the June 23rd Council meeting.
1.7 At their core, Development Charges are a cost-recovery tool used to finance costs
directly attributable to growth. This ensures that growth pays for the servicing needed
for growth, rather than putting that burden on all tax and rate payers in the Municipality.
Clarington is expected to see significant growth over the next few years, which requires
a significant amount of growth-related infrastructure. This being the case, its important
that DCs are utilized to their greatest extent possible.
2. Legislative Changes
2.1 There have been many legislative changes to DCs in recent years. Bill 108 introduced
policies under sections 26.1 and 26.2 of the Development Charges Act (DCA) for
installment payments and DC freezes on eligible developments. In November 2022, Bill
23 added exemptions for non-profit housing, additional units in rental housing,
residential intensification, and inclusionary zoning (must be affordable). The bill also
introduced rental housing discounts based on the number of bedrooms.
2.2 Bill 23 also included a mandatory five-year phase-in of fully calculated DC rates;
however, this provision has since be repealed and municipalities are again able to
charge 100 per cent of the fully calculated rate upon the passage of their DC by-law.
2.3 Further exemptions for affordable housing units were also included in Bill 23 but have
only come into force as of June 2024. To receive the affordable housing exemption,
Municipality of Clarington Page 4
Report FSD-005-25
developers must enter into a 25-year agreement with the Municipality that ensures the
development remains affordable for the entire length of the agreement. Affordability
thresholds are defined through the provincial “Affordable Residential Units for the
Purposes of the Development Charges Act, 1997 Bulletin”.
2.4 Currently, the threshold for affordable ownership units in Clarington is $470,000. This
applies to all unit types (e.g. single detached, semi detached, apartments, etc.) and is
based on average gross annual incomes. The monthly rent threshold for affordable
rental apartment units ranges from $1,036 per month for a bachelor unit to $1,895 per
month for a 3-bedroom or greater apartment. Housing units must be bought or rented at
levels at or below these thresholds to receive the DC exemption. These thresholds will
be reviewed and reassessed annually by the Provincial Government.
2.5 The maximum life of the DC By-law has also been extended from 5-years to 10-years.
2.6 Given the dynamic legislative environment, staff are considering referencing legislation
for exemptions and credits in the updated DC By-Law, while looking to minimize
additional discretionary exemptions and credits, where feasible. This approach allows
the Municipality to adapt more efficiently to legislative changes, avoiding the time and
cost of reopening the DC By-Law.
3. Draft Analysis
Draft Growth Forecast
3.1 Attachment 1 outlines a detailed development forecast for the 2025-2034 period, which
will guide the DC Background Study process. A high-level summary of the 10-year
population, household, and employment forecast is presented in Table 1 . The forecast
was prepared by Hemson, with input from the Planning and Infrastructure Department.

Draft DC Capital Program
3.2 The draft 10-year DC capital program is included in Attachment 2. The capital program
represents a forecast of the growth-related infrastructure required to service growth over
the next ten years (2025-2034). The forecast considers the recommendations within the
Parks, Recreation, and Culture Master Plan, along with the infrastructure required to
service the various secondary plan areas. Additionally, the Municipality has committed
to a housing target of 13,000 new units by 2031, necessitating substantial capital
investments to service expansion areas.
3.3 Table 2 provides a high-level summary of the draft capital program, which totals
$918.83 million in gross capital costs over 10-years. Hemson has reviewed the plan in
detail and has considered existing DC reserve fund balances, determined the portions
that relate to post-period development (beyond 2034) as well as the benefit to existing
(the portion that existing residents benefit from).

3.4 A significant driver of capital costs are the inflationary pressures experienced over the
past couple of years. Table 3 below highlights the annual increases in non-residential
building construction over the past few years.

Municipality of Clarington Page 6
Report FSD-005-25
3.5 The non-residential construction price index is also the prescribed index for the annual
indexing of DC rates. DC rates are indexed annually to account for annual inflationary
increases. Capital costs included in the 2025 DC Background Study are shown in
$2025.
Draft DC Rates
3.6 The proposed draft DC rates are provided in Attachment 3. The draft rates reflect the
maximum permissible rates calculated under the DCA. Council may choose to
implement a lower rate, but it will result in a loss of DC revenues which the Municipality
must fund from other sources (such as tax levy).
3.7 The draft rates represent an increase over the current rates, as shown in the table
below. This is attributable to many factors, including inflation, updates to the
development forecast, inclusion of new Secondary Plan Areas, new Master Plans, and a
fulsome capital program update by staff and consultants.

Report FSD-005-25
3.8 While further public engagement may refine the draft rates, Council should be aware
that there could be undesirable consequences for not increasing the rates to the extent
required. If rates are not adjusted to reflect the realities of the costs of growth, it will
mean that either key servicing requirements will not be met, inhibiting growth, and
potentially preventing the Municipality from meetings its housing pledge, or it will mean
that the costs will shift to the taxpayers and rate payers to finance these growth -related
costs.
4. Area Specific DC – Clarington Technology Park
4.1 In addition to the municipal-wide DC By-law, the Municipality also has an area specific
DC by-law that pertains to stormwater management services within the Clarington
Technology Park area. Staff are not proposing any changes to this by-law at this time
and will likely propose an amendment to extent the current by-law for an additional five-
years, as the life of DC By-laws has been extended to 10-years under the requirements
of the Development Charges Act.
5. Community Benefits Charge
Background
5.1 In addition to the updated DC Background Study and By-law, staff are proposing the
implementation of a Community Benefits Charge (CBC) as an additional mechanism for
recovering the costs associated with growth. CBCs were introduced to replace the
density bonusing provisions within the Planning Act and allow municipalities to secure
payments from developers for “community benefits”.
5.2 CBCs are similar to DCs in that they represent a charge to developers to recover the
cost of new infrastructure required by growth. However, CBCs are more restrictive in
terms of how they can be implemented. CBCs can only be implemented by single or
lower-tier municipalities and the charges can only be imposed on buildings of 5 or more
storeys that contain 10 or more residential units — effectively high-density
developments.
5.3 Prior to implementing a CBC, municipalities must develop a CBC Strategy, which is
essentially a Background Study to support the amount of the charge. The charge is to
be imposed by a CBC by-law, which sets out the rate structure, rate(s),
services/infrastructure to be funded, and associated rules for imposing, collecting, and
administering the funds. Unlike with DCs, there is no term limit for a CBC by-law, nor is
there a prescribed set of eligible service areas.
Municipality of Clarington Page 8
Report FSD-005-25
5.4 Under Ontario Regulation 509/20, the amount of the CBC payable by any particular
development cannot exceed an amount equal to 4 per cent of the value of the land on
the day before the first building permit is issued; this is effectively the value of the land
with all the planning approvals (including zoning and density permissions) necessary to
construct the building. The legislation contains complex rules for dealing with situations
where there is disagreement between the municipality and the developer as to the land
value. Among them is a requirement that the municipality maintain a list of at least three
independent appraisers under agreement to assist with disputes.
Draft Capital Program
5.5 CBCs can be used to fund a broad range of growth -related capital costs. They can be
used to fund services and projects that receive development charge funding and can
even be used to “top up” funding for such works where limits on development charges
are in place (e.g. service level caps or DC-ineligible services, such as parking). CBCs
can also overlap with contributions made by developers under Section 42 of the
Planning Act to secure parkland and other public recreation amenities. Provided they
are used to fund costs that are not also funded from DCs and parkland contributions—
no “double dipping” is allowed—the scope of the CBCs is potentially quite broad.
5.6 Attachment 4 provides the draft 10-year CBC capital program. The capital program
includes a wide-range of service areas, including provisions for climate action items and
affordable housing. Table 5 provides a summarized list of the draft CBC capital
program. The CBC eligible shares for 2024-2034 assume a high growth scenario of
CBC eligible developments over the 10-year planning horizon. Scenario testing of low,
medium and high growth scenarios will be discussed in the 2025 CBC Strategy.

5.7 Upon finalizing the CBC capital program, Council will be asked to provide direction to
staff on the prioritization of projects in the CBC Strategy. Cost recovery from a CBC will
be significantly less than the cost recovery received from DCs. Therefore, sta ff will seek
direction from Council on how to allocate the limited funding received between projects
in the CBC capital program.
6. Next Steps
3.1 Public engagement has been a key focus in the DC Background Study update process.
On February 3rd, 2025, Hemson will present to Council, outlining progress to date and
next steps. A second development industry consultation (in addition to the consultation
held on January 7th) will take place in late February to discuss draft DC rates. The draft
DC Background Study and By-Law, along with the draft CBC Strategy and By-law, are
to be publicly released by March 24th, 2025. Additionally, A public engagement
webpage will be launched to share updates and allow community input.

Report FSD-005-25
3.3 A Statutory Public Meeting is scheduled for April 7th, 2025, where staff and Hemson will
present the final draft DC Study and CBC Strategy. It is anticipated that the new DC By-
Law will be approved by June 23rd, 2025, ensuring it takes effect before the current DC
By-Law expires. This timeline ensures the Municipality can continue collecting DCs to
support growth.
3.4 The CBC Strategy will also be reviewed and approved alongside the draft DC capital
programs to ensure alignment.
7. Financial Considerations
7.1 Most projects within the DC and CBC capital programs are intended to be funded
entirely through DCs or CBCs. Certain projects may have components that are ineligible
for DC/CBC funding (i.e. benefit to existing shares), in which case these portions would
need to be funded through non-DC sources.
7.2 Any projects from the DC/CBC capital programs that wish to proceed will be brought
forward through the annual capital budget process for funding approval. Any non -
DC/CBC eligible costs will also be addressed though the annual budget process.
7.3 Development Charges are used to fund only the capital portion of grow-related
infrastructure. Although the use of DCs does not inherently create an operational
impact, net new assets coming online will come with associated expenses to properly
maintain, manage, and eventually replace. Any operating impacts resulting from
DC/CBC capital projects will be addressed through the annual budget update process.
8. Strategic Plan
8.1 The DC and CBC strategy outlined in this report is consistent with the following strategic
priorities outlined in Clarington’s Strategic Plan 2024-2027.
L.2.1: Implement a multi-year budget to promote effective long-term fiscal management,
L.2.5: Maintain, protect and invest in municipal infrastructure and assets,
L.3.2: Identify, establish and report on service levels of interest to the community, and
L.4.2: Proactively communicate with residents about the planning process and how we
are responsibly addressing growth.
