Figure 1: Location ,CC] -,To] IIkiI 3.1 The subject property was originally draft approved as a secondary school block which the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board opted not to pursue. In 2007, the applicant submitted Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning and Plan of Subdivision applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision S -C- 2007 -0007. The plan of subdivision was approved in October 2008 for 90 singles and a block for 66 townhouse units. 3.2 In July 2009, the applicant submitted a site plan application (SPA 2009 -0014) for the townhouse block. The proposal consisted of 66 block townhouses with units fronting onto Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road with garages at the rear of the units. It also incorporated three amenity areas totalling 0.13 hectares, including a landscape feature at the corner of Bloor Street and Meadowglade Road. The relevant departments and agencies had completed their review of the application. Aside from minor revisions to the Landscape Plan, all agencies were satisfied with the proposal and approval of the application was imminent. The proposed townhouses were three storeys in height to a maximum of 10.5 metres (see Attachment 15). 3.3 On September 7, 2011, Prestonvale Heights Limited submitted new applications to amend Zoning By -law 84 -63 and Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision S -C- 2007 -0007. Through the public meeting report, staff identified concerns with the proposed revised subdivision layout. In order to address urban design concerns identified by Staff, the applicant submitted a revised plan, accompanied by an Official Plan Amendment application on April 18, 2012. 3.4 The following chart illustrates the differences between the Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision of October 2008 (Attachment 2) and the current proposal (Attachment 4). 8 -4 ■ Dwelling Type Draft Approval 2008 Current Proposal 9.3 m Singles 11 m Singles 18 11.3 m Singles 24 12 m Singles 59 25 13.7 m Singles 4 15 m Singles 9 18 m Semis 20 Block Townhouses 66 7 m Street Townhouses Apartments (Garden Flats ) 192 Total 156 261 Total Population 442 553 * Excludes existing boundary roads and previously dedicated road widenings 3.5 A Planning Justification Report, Traffic Impact Study, Noise Impact Study and Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment were submitted in support of the current proposal.

PROVINCIAL POLICY 4.1 Provincial Policy Statement 4.1.1 The Provincial Policy Statement encourages planning authorities to create healthy liveable and safe communities by accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment, recreational and open space uses to meet long term needs. 4.1.2 New development in Settlement Areas shall occur adjacent to built up areas and shall have compact form, a mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public services. 4.1.3 Planning authorities are required to provide for a range of housing types and densities with a ten year supply of lands which are designated. New housing is to be directed to locations where infrastructure and public services are or will be available. A full range of housing types and densities shall be provided to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area. 4.1.4 Infrastructure and public service facilities shall be provided in a coordinated efficient and cost effective manner. Planning for these shall be integrated with planning for growth so that they are available to meet current and projected needs. The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized where feasible before considering developing new infrastructure and public service facilities. 8 -5 4.1.5 Transportation systems should be provided which are safe, energy efficient, facilitate the movement of people and goods, and are appropriate to address projected needs. A land use pattern, density and mix of uses should be provided that minimize the length and number of vehicle trips and supports the development of viable choices and plans for public transit. 4.1.6 The applications are consistent with the 2005 Provincial Policy Statement as a mix of low and high density housing is proposed. The subject lands are adjacent to the existing built -up area and will make use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities. 4.2 Provincial Growth Pla 4.2.1 The Provincial Growth Plan encourages municipalities to manage growth by directing population growth to settlement areas. The subject lands are outside of the `built boundary' and are considered `greenfield area'. Growth is to be accommodated by building compact, transit - supportive communities in designated greenfield areas and by reducing dependence on the automobile through the development of mixed use, pedestrian - friendly environments. Growth shall also be directed to areas that offer municipal water and wastewater systems. 4.2.2 Urban areas are encouraged to develop as complete communities with a diverse mix of land uses, a range and mix of employment and housing types, high quality public open space and easy access to local stores and services. The definition of a complete community states that it will meet "....people's needs for daily living throughout an entire lifetime by providing convenient access to an appropriate mix of jobs, local services, a full range of housing and community infrastructure including affordable housing, schools, recreation and open space for their residents. Convenient access to public transportation and options for safe, non - motorized travel is also provided." 4.2.3 The Provincial Growth Plan has set a minimum density target that is not less than 50 residents and jobs per hectare in the designated Greenfield areas. 4.2.4 Approval of the applications would meet the objectives of the Provincial Growth Plan. 5.1 Durham Regional Official Plan The Durham Regional Official Plan designates the subject lands as Living Area within the Durham Regional Official Plan. Lands designated as Living Area permit the development of communities with defined boundaries, incorporating the widest possible variety of housing types, sizes and tenure to provide living accommodations that address various socio- economic factors. Further, Living Areas shall be developed in a compact form through higher densities and by intensifying and redeveloping existing areas, particularly along arterial roads. 9. 1 Regional Council shall support the review of development proposals currently in the approval process, to encourage higher densities where appropriate and promote area municipal official plans to maximize permissible densities for vacant lands. Regional Official Plan Amendment 128 (Growing Durham), as approved on January 9, 2013 by the Ontario. Municipal Board, has identified Bloor Street as a Regional Corridor and Transit Spine. Corridors are to form the key connections between Centres and are considered the main arteries of the Region's urban structure. They provide for the movement of people and goods between the Centres to support their vitality. This designation was established to promote public transit ridership through well designed developments that have a mix of uses at higher densities. Development shall be sensitive to urban design considerations and shall be oriented to the corridor, complemented by the consolidation of access points. A long term density target of 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 2.4 are to be supported within the Regional Corridor. The built form should include a wide variety of building forms, generally mid -rise in height with some higher buildings. The proposed uses conform to the Regional Official Plan and Amendment 128. 5.2 Clarington Official Plan In the Clarington Official Plan the subject lands are designated as Urban Residential with a Medium Density Residential Symbol. The lands are within the Penfound Neighbourhood, which has a population allocation of 3950 and a housing unit target of 1400, including 150 medium density units. The applicant is requesting to amend the land use schedule to replace the medium density symbol with a high density symbol, increase the population allocation to 4040, reduce the medium density units to 75 and add 200 high density units. Table 9 -1 from the Official Plan outlines the residential density standards. The Medium Density designation would permit 4 storey low rise apartments within 100 metres of arterial /collector Road intersections. The proposal meets the criteria for Medium Density with the exception of the Net Density. The proposal will exceed the maximum net density criteria of 60 units. Medium and high density residential development will be reviewed on the basis of the following site development criteria: The site is suitable in terms of size and shape to accommodate the proposed density and building form; The proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighbourhood in terms of scale, massing, height, siting, setbacks, shadowing, and the location of parking and amenity areas; 8 -7 Adequate on -site parking, lighting, landscaping and amenity areas are provided; and The impact of traffic on local streets is minimized. The Housing policies encourage a minimum of 30% of all new housing to be affordable. Affordable housing means that annual housing costs do not exceed 30% of the gross annual household income for households of low or moderate income levels. The Official Plan seeks to achieve a mix of housing types within each of the urban communities of Courtice, Bowmanville and Newcastle Village: ® 70% Detached and Semi - detached and similar housing forms; ® 20% Townhouses, walk -up apartments; and ® 10% Apartments. The goals of the South -West Courtice Secondary Plan are to provide a residential living environment that promotes a desirable quality of life and social interaction; and to provide a broad range of housing to meet evolving needs of current and future residents. Clarington Official Plan Amendment 77, approved by Council on March 26, 2012, introduced Urban Design policies for Corridors. The built form in part, is to be designed to: • Have buildings sited near the street line to contribute to a sense of enclosure and a strong street edge; • Locate main building entrances that are visible and directly accessible from the public sidewalk of the main street; • Enhance the built environment with attention to massing, building articulation, architectural detail, the use of local materials and styles; and • Enhance the pedestrian environment. Policies for Sustainable Design have also been introduced which promote higher densities to efficiently utilize existing infrastructure. Integration of transit into the early stages of new development is also promoted. The proposal generally conforms to the Clarington Official Plan with the exception of those items which are the subject of the application. • 6.1 Within the Comprehensive Zoning By -law 84 -63, as amended, the lands are zoned a mix of residential zones to implement the 2008 Draft Approved Plan of Subdivision. A Zoning By -law amendment is required in order to implement the proposed amendment to draft approval. REPORT NO.: PSD- 022 -13 PAGE 9 7. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND STUDIES 7.1 Planning Justification Report Prepared by Sernas Associates, the Planning Justification Report states that the proposed development will have a high quality appearance facing Bloor Street, Prestonvale Road, Meadowglade Road, and the internal streets. The buildings will be paired with shared underground parking which allows for generous landscaping in the front, back and many of the sides of the buildings. The height and form of the proposed apartment buildings would be classified as Medium Density. However, because the development utilizes below grade parking, the unit yield per hectare is higher than the maximum 60 units per hectare for medium density. The proposed net density is 90 units per hectare. The proposal will introduce high density units to the Penfound Neighbourhood. The apartment blocks will contain amenity areas in each block. Public walkways will connect the balance of the development to the intersections at Bloor and Meadowglade and Bloor and Prestonvale. The outdoor amenity area proposed is 22.3 m2 /unit which exceeds the Amenity Guideline requirements of 4m2/unit. The guidelines recommend 2 m2 /unit of indoor amenity area although none is provided due to the size of each building and their unique design. The front doors of the apartment buildings will be connected to the sidewalk via short walkways similar to a single detached home, creating a pedestrian oriented environment (see Attachments 13 and 14). 7.2 Noise Impact Studv Update Prepared by YCA Engineering Limited, the Noise Impact Study Update recommends 1.8 metre barriers for Lot 1, the Amenity Nodes within Blocks 60, 61 and 62 and for the Central Parkette between Blocks 61 and 62. A combination of noise fencing, berms and alternative "living wall" construction is proposed. Air conditioning will be required for the south unit in Block 60 and for all units within Blocks 61 and 62. Provisions for air conditioning will be required for lots 1, 20, 21, remaining units in Block 60 and for all units within Block 63. 7.3 Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Prepared by Golder Associates, the Phase I Environmental Site Assessment concluded that there are no issues of potential environmental concerns with the subject lands. 7.4 Traffic Impact Study GHD submitted a Traffic Impact Study in October 2012 and subsequent revision in December 2012 to address comments from the Engineering Services Department. The Traffic Impact Study provided the following conclusions and recommendations: During the weekday am and weekday pm peak hours, the proposed site traffic can be accommodated by the abutting road network; RIM •' 1 1 1 • • 1 ® Based on the results of the analysis, there are no current or future queuing issues at the signalized intersections; ® The weekday pm peak hour of traffic does not coincide with the operating hours of Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School and therefore it is unlikely that commuter traffic will be negatively affected by the drop -off and pick -up of students; ® It is possible that the weekday am peak hour of traffic may overlap with activity at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School due to the narrower margin of time separating the peak hours of commuter and school traffic; ® Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School has instructed parents that students are not to be dropped off at the school prior to 9:00 am. Education and enforcement may be required to ensure compliance with this directive; ® The school board is reviewing options such as, reducing the school population and providing additional parking, to address the pick -up /drop -off congestion on Meadowglade Road; ® Traffic generated from future development in the area is not related to the current traffic issues resulting from the pick -up and drop -off activities at the school; ® Based on the road network within the study area, traffic utilization of Cale Road by drivers from the surrounding developments will not be an issue; and ® The projected future 2020 volumes for Meadowglade Road are 3,400 to 5,300 vehicles per day which is below or well within the lower limit of the Regions criteria for a Type C Arterial roadway. All intersections under current and future conditions will function at acceptable levels with the exception of the eastbound left -turn movement at the intersection of Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road. The study suggested that the Municipality consider implementing higher levels of traffic control such as an all -way stop or signalization. 8.1 A Public Meeting was held on May 28, 2012. Public Notice was given by mail to each landowner within 120 metres of the subject property and a public meeting notice was installed on the property in the centre of each street frontage. 8.2 A Public Information Centre (PIC) was held on November 29, 2012 at Faith United Church. Notice for the PIC was mailed to landowners within 250 metres of the subject property. The PIC was well attended by over forty residents. 8.3 A number of submissions have been received by the Planning Services Department, including written comments collected at the PIC on November 29, 2012. Below is a summary of the main concerns: Traffic and Safety at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School ® Traffic congestion in general, and specifically within the area surrounding Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School will be made worse by an increased population. 8 -10 •' • 1 9-ITC] 4111 • Construction will make the roads unsafe for kids and /or traffic. Where will construction workers park? They are currently double parking on Partner Drive and sometimes blocking the street to hold conversations. • Concerned with young children's safety crossing Bloor Street to get to school and Rosswell Park. Bloor Street will be busier with 261 additional units. • Not enough enforcement of parking on local streets and student drop -off at Dr. G.J. MacGillvray Public School. • School Board should buy the parcel for expansion and additional parking. School Overcrowding • Dr. G.J. MacGillivray is already overcrowded, adding more population to the area will only worsen situation at the school. • Questioned population statistics and the number of students projected to be generated by the development. Parking • Concerned that 1.25 parking spaces per apartment unit is not adequate in an area without good transit. Little arrangement for street level parking. • Most single car garage homes cannot park two vehicles in their driveways and garages leaving one on the street most of the time. The one on the street will fill up with spaces for visitors. Design • Apartments do not "mesh" or are "inconsistent" with the current neighbourhood. • Expected a suburban or hamlet environment over an urbanized "City" environment. • General appearance of the development is unappealing, "Looks like a fortress." Amenities and Transit • Prefer a high school or open space / park to develop on the site. • Area is not readily accessible without a personal vehicle. Transit only runs at peak times. Proposal would be better for Bloor and Townline, or Trulls Road and Highway 2, where commercial area and better transit is available. • There are no grocery stores, banks or medical offices within walking distance. • Taxes should be spent on building more community services in the neighbourhood. There are not enough parks north of Bloor Street. Property Values and Standards • Property values of surrounding residential area will be impacted negatively by the construction of apartments. • Lower quality of homes will attract crime and vandalism. • Residents in high density developments are less likely to care about the appearance of their dwellings. • Concerned that even though the applicant is proposing to market the apartments as condominiums they will become rental units or a social housing project. 8 -11 Other • Notification of the application was inadequate. The 120 metre radius is not far enough to notify all who will be impacted by this development. Notification signs on site were not noticeable or believed to be missing. • The developer doesn't care about the community. They will make their money and leave. Concerned that if this is approved, what would stop applicant from pursuing even higher density in future. ® Safety concern with the proposed walkway onto school property from the development. 8.4 The following comments were also received in support of the proposal: • Prefer the current proposal over the previously approved plan, provided the apartments will be condominiums. • A resident expressed interest in the proposed condominiums as she wishes to downsize in the near future and would like a smaller unit within the community she lives in. One resident indicated a preference of one 10 storey high rise surrounded by more green space over the proposed 16 three storey buildings. 8.5 A petition was submitted on May 29, 2012 with 715 signatures -in opposition to the proposed amendment from medium density to high density residential. 9.1 Rogers Cable Communications Inc., Bell and Enbridge Gas Distribution Inc. have no objections to the proposal. Conditions requested by the utility companies have been included in Conditions of Draft Approval. 9.2 On May 24, 2012, the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board advised that the proposal will generate up to 19 elementary students for Dr. G. J. MacGillvray Public School and up to 12 secondary students to Courtice Secondary School. Minor and Major overland stormwater drainage flows from the subject draft plan are to be self- contained and are not to enter the adjoining elementary school site. The existing 1.8 metre high galvanized chain link fence around the elementary school site is not to be altered or removed prior to, during and post any construction of the subject subdivision. In consideration of the number of units proposed, the Municipality of Clarington should investigate proposed traffic levels, turning movements and peak times and if necessary require traffic control sign(s) and /or traffic calming measures at the proposed intersection of Meadowglade Road /Partner Drive /Cale Avenue and along Meadowglade Road. Meadowglade Road has: 8 -12 aae A curvilinear design with four existing street intersections between Prestonvale Road and Bloor Street; A signed student crossing at Meadowglade Road and Robert Adams Drive; and Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public School is our largest elementary school in terms of enrolment (2011/2012 Average Daily Enrolment is 777.25, and is projected to increase in enrolment). In December 2012, Superintendent Shelly Roy had discussions with Municipality of Clarington staff indicating that a walkway connection from Cale Avenue to the school was supported, provided the walkway was dedicated to the Municipality. Board staff agreed that any pedestrian path changes to the existing Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School site to connect any municipally owned walkway block to the school building would be implemented by the Board. The Board does not object to the walkway. Further comments were provided on January 16, 2013 indicating that the proposed easement shared by Lots 7 and 8 for stormwater purposes is acceptable. The School Board requested the Municipality of Clarington to financially secure for the cleaning of the storm system alongside the proposed development on Dr. G. J. MacGillivray Public School lands. 9.3 The Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) have no objections to the proposed revisions. CLOCA conditions of draft approval from October 2008 remain applicable. 9.4 The Region of Durham Planning Department advised that the proposed amendment to the Clarington Official Plan would be permitted by the policies of the Regional Official Plan as the proposal promotes higher densities and is consistent with the intensification and transit oriented development policies. The Region of Durham Works Department does not have any objection to the further processing of the applications. The application has been screened in accordance with the terms of the provincial plan review responsibilities. The following issues are applicable: A Noise Impact Study — Update was submitted by YCA Engineering Ltd. in relation to this revised proposal. Appropriate attenuation measures (1.8m high barriers) are recommended for amenity areas and a central parkette along Bloor Street and along the side and rear of proposed Lot 1 adjacent to Meadowglade Road. Appropriate warning clauses are recommended to make future occupants aware of the potential noise situation in the affected Outdoor Living and Amenity Areas and Parkette. Also, appropriate warning clauses are recommended with respect to the ventilation requirements for Indoor Noise for the affected units. The Subdivision Agreement prepared for the related draft approved plan of subdivision should contain the appropriate provisions to ensure that the recommendations and the warning clauses of the Update are implemented; A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment was prepared by Golder Associates. The assessment indicated that there are no potential sources of environmental contamination in association with the site; and 8 -13 Any issues concerning stormwater management, grading and servicing are to be addressed to the satisfaction of the Conservation Authority. Municipal services are available. Previous conditions with respect to water supply and sanitary sewer service on the related draft approved plan of subdivision are still applicable. The proposed development does not present any significant impacts on Durham Region Transit. The application is considered to have no significant Regional or Provincial concerns. In accordance with Regional By -law 11 -2000, this application is exempt from Regional approval. 10.1 Clarington Emergency and Fire Services, Clarington Operations and the Clarington Building Division have no concerns or objections with the proposed application. Should the application be approved, detailed comments relating to the high density blocks will be forwarded to the applicant to address through a subsequent site plan application. 10.2 Clarington Engineering Services have no objections with the applications. The applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study, Parking Plan, Grading and Drainage Plans, and a stormwater management brief to address previous concerns. The Traffic Impact Study has been peer reviewed and accepted by an independent Traffic Consultant on behalf of the Engineering Services Department. The Municipality will be pro- active in the spring of 2013 by installing an all -way stop control at the intersection of Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road. 11. DISCUSSION 11.1 The applicant has prepared additional details on the proposal to address planning related residents concerns. A review of the concerns and how they have been addressed by staff and the applicant are outlined in Section 11.2 to 11.8 below. 11.2 Traffic and Safety at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Pubic School Neighbourhood concerns with traffic congestion associated with Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School, which is the largest school in the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board system, were apparent prior to this application. Municipal staff have met with the Kawartha Pine Ridge School Board to discuss potential solutions. This included adding lands from the proposed development to reconfigure on -site parking and /or student pick -up and drop -off. Unfortunately the School Board does not have the funds to develop an on -site solution for the number of vehicles dropping off and picking up 8 -14 a children from school. It should be noted that school parking lots are designed for employees and some visitors, although the school has retrofitted an area for a kiss and ride. Busing is provided for students living a prescribed distance from the school, while the School Board considers the balance of the student population to be walkers. The School Board has advised that they have no jurisdiction to deal with traffic congestion issues that occur on the roadway, which is municipal property. However, they are prepared to assist the Municipality. by educating students and parents about safe crossing protocols. The Dr. G.J. MacGillivray monthly newsletter regularly contains articles informing parents as to the expectations for dropping off and picking up students both on site and on the street. Reminders to obey the traffic rules and to respect the neighbours and crossing guards are present. During discussions with Municipal staff, the School Board suggested introducing a walkway between Lots 7 and 8 from the school grounds to Cale Avenue to alleviate traffic congestion on Meadowglade Avenue. This will provide alternate access to the school for pedestrians walking to the proposed development from the south and for those choosing to drive students to the school. The future residents of Cale Avenue will share some of the problems associated with school operations. Although in 2008 the School Board had requested that a walkway to the school site not be established due to safety concerns, they are now open to its inclusion. The School Board advised that they will implement on -site pedestrian path changes to the existing Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School site to connect any municipality owned walkway block to the school building. The School Board will be responsible for safety on their school site. The proposed walkway is 6 metres in width to accommodate a 3 metre wide walkway and enhanced plantings and fencing between the walkway and the residential area. Municipal Staff, through the Engineering Services Department, will be conducting a Public Information Centre in late spring of this year with respect to concerns and suggestions around the drop -off and pick -up of students at Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School. 11.3 Traffic Impacts of Proposal The Traffic Impact Study concluded that traffic from the development can be accommodated by the existing road network. It indicated that traffic from existing and future developments is not related to current traffic issues surrounding the school. Projected volumes for Meadowglade Avenue are well within the lower limits for a Type C Arterial Road. There may be some overlap of morning commuter traffic and morning student drop -off. 11.4 Parking for Garden Flats and On- Street Parking Zoning By -law 84 -63 requires 29 parking spaces for each pair of buildings, with eight pairs proposed, 232 spaces are required in total. The Planning Services Department 8 -15 11.5 11.6 8 -16 0. 1.1 typically requests an additional 0.25 spaces for visitors per unit, adding an additional 6 spaces for each pair and 48 spaces in total. Six surface parking spaces are available for visitors at each pair, two in front of each amenity node and four at the entrance of the underground parking area. There are 240 spaces for occupants, 15 spaces under each 12 unit building. The Engineering Services Department requires one on- street parking space for every four single and semi detached units. Eighteen on street spaces are required for the development while the applicant has illustrated 36 are available, doubling the requirement (see Attachment 7). Typical Subdivision Agreements require developers to include a clause in the agreement of Purchase and Sale that sets out the Municipality's Traffic By -law 91 -58 pertaining to on- street parking. School Overcrowding The School Board has advised that the proposed development will add up to 19 students to Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School. The School Board will be implementing program changes at the school which includes relocating grade 7 and 8 students to Courtice Secondary School in September 2013. Although this will reduce the capacity of the school, it will still be overcrowded necessitating portables. The School Board is undertaking a review of the boundaries for Dr. G.J. MacGillivray Public School. Design Many residents expressed a concern that the development would appear as a fortress. To address this concern the applicant prepared streetscape views for Prestonvale Road and Meadowglade Road which depicts the 2008 approved plan compared with the current proposal (Attachments 13 and 14). As depicted in the Meadowglade streetscape view, the proposed garden flat apartments have a similar height to the previously proposed block townhouses. There is 12.2 metres between the proposed buildings where the townhouse blocks depict a maximum of 3.24 metres. The previously approved single detached homes on Prestonvale Road had a separation between dwellings of 1.2 metres on one side and 2.4 metres on the other. Although the building mass is larger than the singles, it is smaller than the townhouses. In addition, the current proposal provides more landscaped open space between buildings which will help minimize the appearance of an enclosed streetscape. The applicant has enhanced the elevations of the Garden Flats by providing three (3) different models (see Attachment 6). The applicant intends to provide variations of materials, colours and elements such as roof lines, windows and architectural details to ensure a varied streetscape. The proposed elevations compliment the architecture of the neighbourhood. 11.7 Amenities and Transit The site is located within two Durham Transit Bus routes which operate at peak times. One route travels to Highway 2 between Courtice Road and Townline Road which provides access to a number of commercial uses. The other route travels along Bloor Street and accesses the GO Train Stations in Oshawa and Whitby. The Region has designated Bloor Street as a Regional Corridor and Transit Spine. Most of the Corridor is not serviced with transit at this time, however, this will improve as development continues. The Clarington Official Plan establishes a park system, comprised of District Parks, Community Parks, Neighbourhood Parks and Hamlet Parks. The neighbourhood parks in the area meet the established standard for the amount of parkland required. There are a number of parks both north and south of Bloor Street (see Attachment 8). There is a commercial plaza located directly to the south of the subject lands which is zoned to permit a wide range of commercial uses such as restaurants, retail, office, medical and dental, personal service uses, laundry mat and dry cleaning distribution. The plaza is occupied with a convenience store, dental office and optometrist. Two units are remaining to be leased. As the area matures, additional commercial uses are anticipated along the Bloor Street corridor. 11.8 Property Values and Standards Planning recommendations are based on the principles established by provincial, regional and local policies. Analysis is focused on compatibility of the built environment'and land uses. Speculation on the value of properties or character of future residents is not a land use issue. The Municipality has Property Standards By- law 2007 -070 which established maintenance standards for all properties within the Municipality, including higher density developments. 11.9 Planning Comments The applicant has submitted the current proposal, in part, to address staff concerns with the 2011 proposal (Attachment 3) compared with the 2008 Draft Approved Plan (Attachment 2) which were: • Increased infrastructure with fewer housing units. The road network increased by an additional 383 metres while the unit count dropped by 10; ® Addition of a window street parallel to Bloor Street would set back the housing from the arterial street and would act as a primary visitor parking area leading to a less attractive street edge; and ® 2.1 metre high noise fence with a 0.3 metre berm for units flanking Bloor Street. 8 -17 The current proposal addresses the above by: • The road network increases in length over the 2008 Draft Approved Plan due to the deletion of the block townhouses but has decreased by 204 metres from the 2011 proposal. • Removal of the Window Street and provision of a built form that addresses the streets on all sides of the development. • The siting of the proposed 3 storey, 12 unit garden flats has allowed for a reduction in the height of the noise barriers. There is no need for a barrier at the corner of Bloor and Meadowglade. This area is now open for a landscaped Amenity Area. The applicant is proposing to incorporate a living wall into the required noise barriers which will add to the landscape elements (See Attachment 5). 11.10 The Corridor polices of the Durham Region Official Plan support an overall, long -term density target of at least 60 residential units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 2.5. The proposed garden flat high density blocks achieve a density of 74 units per gross hectare and a floor space index of 0.93. The overall plan achieves a density of 39 units per gross hectare. The proposed plan supports the density objectives of the Provincial Policy Statement, the Growth Plan and the Regional Official Plan. Developments that support higher densities are encouraged in appropriate locations in order to develop communities that are both pedestrian and transit oriented. The proposed plan will increase the population by 111 persons from what was approved in 2008. 11.11 The Clarington Official Plan has been amended through OPA 77 to introduce Urban Design Policies for Corridors. The proposal has adhered to these policies by: Siting the buildings close to the street edge; and Providing public walkways through the apartment blocks to provide pedestrian access to the internal lots. Staff met with the applicant in July to discuss the Urban Design policies and provided the following comments: • Ensure massing and heights are compatible with the existing community; • Lower the apparent height through the use of design elements; • Provide pedestrian connectivity and a generous central amenity area; • Consider covered parking area and utilize the top for private amenity areas (decks, gardens); and • Design the facade with similar rhythm and proportions to the existing community. The applicant has considered these comments in the refinement of their elevations (see Attachment 6). The comments will continue to be considered during the review of a future site plan application for the High Density Blocks should the Official Plan Amendment and Rezoning be approved. REPORT NO.: PSD- 022 -13 PAGE 19 11.12 The Residential Density Standards contained in Table 9 -1 of the Claringtoh Official Plan permits low rise apartments up to 4 storeys in height within the Medium Density Designation. Low rise apartments are permitted, provided the net density does not exceed 60 units per net hectare. The current application accommodates 90 units per net hectare. The higher density can be attributed to the efficient use of space through the provision of underground parking. If surface parking was provided instead the garden flats would comply with the medium density residential designation. Low rise apartments within the Medium Density Designation are encouraged to locate within 100 metres of arterial /collector road intersections. Both Meadowglade Road and Bloor Street are Arterial Roads, while Prestonvale Road is a Collector. 11.13 Complete communities have a variety of housing choices to accommodate their diverse population base. Traditionally, Courtice's residential development has been predominantly composed of single and semi - detached homes. A shift is underway to create more diverse neighbourhoods that provide a range of housing choices at varying levels of affordability, tenure and amenity. With an aging population, Clarington will need to accommodate developments suitable for seniors. The Official Plan has encouraged the provision of a diverse housing stock in terms of type, tenure, density and cost to meet the need of all residents. To achieve this, a mix of housing types has been targeted within each urban community. In the last ten years, 412 apartments were built in Clarington. Only eight of those units were constructed in Courtice. These units were constructed above the plaza located at 15 Roswell Drive, immediately to the south of the subject lands. Courtice is significantly lagging in the provision of apartment units, given the rapid growth it has experienced. The applicant has developed the mixed use project on Roswell Drive. The two bedroom units are similar in size to the units proposed on the subject lands. The units currently rent for a minimum of $1,350.00 per month. As noted in Section 5.2, the Clarington Official Plan encourages a minimum of 30% of all new housing to be affordable. Affordable housing would not exceed 30% of the gross annual household income for households of low or moderate income levels. The Durham Housing Review Background Report (May 2011) indicated that according to the 2006 Statistics Canada Census, the income threshold for low or moderate income renter households is $43,031. Based on this income level, an affordable monthly rent or mortgage payment (including taxes) would be $1,076.00. It is unlikely that the proposed units would be considered "affordable" based on the above criteria. 11.14 The Municipality of Clarington "Amenity Guidelines for Medium and High Density Residences" requires 4m2 of outdoor amenity area per dwelling unit. The High Density blocks will require a total of 768m2, which is exceeded by the East, West and Central Parkette areas (see Attachment 5). An addendum to the Noise Study may be required as part of the Site Plan Approval for the High Density Blocks to ensure the appropriate mitigation measures are in place for the final layout of the amenity areas. • 11.15 Originally the subject land was approved as a Secondary School Block as part of Plan of Subdivision18T- 95026. The conditions of approval for this subdivision required the owner to contribute five per cent of the value of the land proposed for development in lieu of parkland dedication. The conditions also required the applicant to contribute to the construction of Rosswell Park which was not considered part of the parkland contribution. The Clarington Official Plan requires either five per cent of the land, or 1 hectare for every 300 dwelling units, or an appropriate cash contribution in lieu of the land. Originally the applicant was required to contribute the value of 1.06 hectare. As the proposal will add 261 units to the 232 units already approved, the requirement for parkland would be 1.64 hectares, a difference of 0.58 hectares cash in lieu of parkland. 11.16 The applicant has provided concurrence with the attached Conditions of Draft Approval. 11.17 All taxes payable to the Municipality of Clarington have been paid in full. 12. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable 13. CONCLUSION 13.1 The proposal for amendments to Prestonvale Heights Limited draft approved plan of subdivision provides for a new housing type for Clarington. The garden flat units are a new way to deliver higher densities required by current planning policies in a modest three - storey format. This may be one of the more effective ways for Clarington to control sprawl and develop transit - supportive, walkable communities. The lands are located adjacent to or near a regional corridor that will develop incrementally over time. 13.2 Many of the existing traffic issues in this area are due to Dr. G.J. McGillivray School running at excess capacity. There are currently 11 portables on -site with plans to add a two room addition to implement full -day kindergarten in 2014. The School provides both the regular and French Immersion programs. The French Immersion program is popular and accounts for the majority of the students at the school drawing from a large catchment area. There is no significant difference between the existing approved draft plan of subdivision and the proposed revisions on this issue. Solutions are currently being implemented or considered to mitigate some of traffic issues in this area. 13.3 In consideration of the findings of all supporting studies, comments received from circulated agencies and area residents, and based on review of the proposal, staff recommends that the proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 9), Zoning By -law (Attachment 11) and Conditions of Draft Approval (Attachment 12) be approved. �.

BACKGROUND 1.1 The Octagon House was built in 1864 by the Congressional Church and served as their parsonage for 26 years. The house was later the home of Archibald Tait, a well - known grocer and Mayor of Bowmanville 1905 -1906. This designated heritage property is located at the southwest corner of Wellington and Division Streets (Attachment 1) in Bowmanville. FAj;jUqL RYAJIL 2.1 Applicant: Janice Seto, Owner Alteration: Replacement of all windows Location: 48 Division Street, Bowmanville 2.2 There are approximately 21 windows in the house. According to the owner, the lower windows are not original. Some of the upper windows are possibly original; however, most are in poor condition, some have cracks, and are drafty. 2.3 The owner is proposing to replace all of the windows with new energy efficient windows. Proposed new windows will be in keeping with the heritage character of the house (same shape, pattern, and colour). Larger windows are single hung 6 over 6. Smaller windows are 4 over 4 and 2 over 2 respectively. . ,. x Example of existing condition of windows and sample replacement windows 9�6101111UARM Ram 3.1 The Ontario Heritage Act empowers a Municipality to pass a b� -law designating a property to be of cultural heritage value or interest. On April 6t , 1981, Council approved the heritage designation of 48 Division Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. 3.2 The following features are referenced in documentation as being specific parts of the property that should be protected: • The eight -sided design; • The stucco finishing; • The rectangular transom and sidelights (front door); • The original sash on windows; and • The square tower on the roof. 3.3 The Ontario Heritage Act stipulates that the owner of a property designated under Part IV cannot alter the property where such alteration is likely to affect the reasons for designation without the written consent of Council. Council is required to consider any application for alteration of a designated property in consultation with its heritage committee. .6 Lem-. �I .am&,!, 3.4 The Clarington Heritage Committee (CHC) reviewed the request for alterations to the designated heritage property during their February 19th, 2013 meeting. They passed the following motion in support of the required alterations to the Octogon House: "THAT the Clarington Heritage Committee recommend approval of the replacement of the windows, front door, transom, and sidelights providing that the replacements are in character and the sills are replaced, if necessary, using original construction techniques and materials." 3.5 The CHC passed the resolution based on the understanding that the front door transom and sidelights were not original. Subsequent investigation has determined that they are original to the house. The front door itself is not original and could be replaced. However, the owner has since changed the scope of the proposed works to include only the windows. 4.1 Many of the window panes are not original to the house. The proposed window installations will be in keeping with the heritage character of the building, consequently, the alterations to the property will have minimal impact on the property's heritage significance. The alterations will allow the property to be enjoyed with improved energy efficiency reflective of modern day residential standards. 5. CONCURRENCE — Not Applicable � 1=01 )0Cs] IlIK[7 1 6.1 The Clarington Heritage Committee's function under the Ontario Heritage Act is to provide advice and assistance to Council on matters of heritage conservation. The CHC is in support of the alterations to improve the building's energy efficiency. 6.2 Staff is in support of the request for alteration to this designated heritage property and recommend that Council approve the request.

To broaden the range of commercial uses permitted on the subject property 0.72 Ha 1540 Durham Highway 2, Courtice (Former Hilltop Restaurant) 2.1 On November 19, 2012, MMM Group Limited submitted a Clarington Official Plan Amendment application and an application to amend Zoning By -law 84 -63, on behalf of EFS Investments Inc. These applications are seeking to broaden the range of permitted commercial uses on this property in order to provide greater flexibility in leasing space within the existing buildings. On February 25, 2013, a Public Meeting was held for the Clarington Official Plan Amendment application and the application to amend Zoning By -law 84 -63 in consideration of these applications. Staff Report PSD- 014 -13 offered no objections to the proposed amendments as originally submitted. It was recommended by Report PSD- 014 -13 that the proposed amendments be approved unless objections were raised at the Public Meeting. 2.2 At the Public Meeting one member of the public spoke to these applications. It was suggested by the resident that the owner should consider incorporating housing for seniors on this site. Additionally, it was highlighted that future development (new construction) on this site must mitigate any potential impact upon both the Black Creek and the Farewell Creek which abut this property. One resident had a concern with the potential impact on existing businesses along Highway 2. 2.3 During the Public Meeting the Agent spoke on behalf of the Owner. Aside from a few technical corrections that were identified in the proposed amendment documents the Agent requested that a number of additional uses be considered for this property. The uses, which had not been previously sought by the Applicant, included: • Nursing Home; • Printing or Publishing Establishment; and • Light Service Shop The Agent also sought accommodation for a future realigned driveway into the property and permission for drive - through facilities. 8 -54 REPORT PAGE 3 In order to have these additional requests given consideration, it was the request of the Applicant that the proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment application and the application to amend Zoning By -law 84 -63 continue to be processed by Staff. 2.4 Subsequent to the Public Meeting, the Owner withdrew the request for the additional uses and accommodation that were not part of the original application. 3.1 The subject property is located within the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan (CMSSP), which was passed by Council on January 28, 2013. Once the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan is adopted by the Region of Durham, a subsequent Zoning By- law Amendment will be submitted by the Municipality for the entire Courtice Main Street area (including the subject property). The future Zoning By -law Amendment for the Courtice Main Street area will continue to include all of the land use permissions granted by this application and will regulate those uses in a form consistent with the rest of the Courtice Main Street area and the "Commercial Mixed Use" designation. The proposed Zoning By -law allows for additional uses, such as residential apartments (including housing for seniors) as part of a mixed -use building, consistent with the C1 Zone. 3.2 No new buildings or additions to existing buildings, is proposed by these applications. The primary intent is to broaden the range of uses to provide greater leasing opportunities subject to Municipal Site Plan control. It would also trigger the need for an Environmental Impact Study. However, additions and new building would be permitted. 3.3 While the issue of market impacts was raised by a resident, no local business owners echoed this concern. Courtice is currently underserved with commercial floor space. Commercial floor space is expected to increase to meet the needs of residents as reflected in the Courtice Main Street Amendment (COPA 89). • -•• .0- 5. CONCLUSION 5.1 With the exception of "Supermarket' each of the originally proposed uses, requested by the Applicant, have been found to be appropriate for the site and surrounding area, of appropriate scale and in conformity with the goals and objectives of the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan. 5.2 It is recommended that the proposed Clarington Official Plan Amendment (Attachment 2 to Report PSD- 024 -13) and Zoning By -law Amendment (Attachment 4 to Report PSD- 024-13) be approved. 8 -55 REPORT CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC PLAN — The recommendations contained in this report conform to the general intent of the following priorities of the Strategic Plan: X Promoting economic development Maintaining financial stability Connecting Clarington Promoting green initiatives Investing in infrastructure Showcasing our community Not in conformity with Strategic Plan Staff Contact: Carlos Salazar, Manager, Community Planning and Design Paul Wirch, Planner II Attachments: Attachment 1 - Key Map Attachment 2 - Proposed Official Plan Amendment Attachment 3 - Clarington Official Plan Amendment Adopting By -law Attachment 4 - Proposed Zoning By -law Amendment List of interested parties to be advised of Council's decision: Ford Wong Chad John - Baptiste Mike Qaqish Libby Racansky mm �, v S U 3 Y W -..'k Attachment 2 To Report PSD- 024 -13 ►I►[ Z, • 81 PURPOSE: To create an interim exception to the Clarington Official Plan that will remain in effect until the adoption of the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan.

This is consistent with Clarington's Official Plan policies wherein Bowmanville is the predominant growth centre and Courtice is next. There has been increase in recent years in the number of apartment and townhouse units that have been submitted as part of subdivision applications. The increase in these housing unit types is expected to remain consistent in the coming years as the Clarington urban areas mature and intensify in keeping with the policies of the Growth Plan and Regional Official Plan Amendment 128.

The current pre - consultation process has been very well received. 12. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable 13. CONCLUSION 13.1 Planning application activity remains high in 2012, indicating that growth and investment in Clarington will continue for the coming years. 13.2 As capital and infrastructure projects continue to occur in Clarington, including increasing sewer capacity in Bowmanville and the recent approval of the 8 -69 refurbishment of the Darlington Nuclear facility, it is expected that planning applications will remain strong in the coming years. However, approvals from previous years, combined with subdivision activity in 2012, have provided a good long term supply of residential lots. Subdivision applications, which bring in good fees revenue, maybe more limited in the immediate future because of the abundant supply of approved lots. 13.3 As Seaton and new lands designated through ROPA 128 come on stream in future years, there may be more development activity in the west side of Durham. However, ongoing development activity in Clarington will be buttressed with the extension of Highway 407 to Oshawa, the Darlington refurbishment, and the traditional strength of providing the most affordable housing along the Durham Lakeshore.

BACKGROUND 1.1 In recent years, planners, decision makers and the public have developed a deeper understanding of the cumulative negative impact that our use of the land has on the natural environment that sustains us. This has required a fundamental shift from a focus on protecting individual natural features to protecting the entire natural heritage system and its vital ecological functions. In turn, this has resulted in an increased emphasis on incorporating consideration of the natural heritage system into all aspects of land use planning, from official plan policies and secondary plans through to zoning, subdivision and site plan approvals. 1.2 Watershed planning is currently recognized as one of the most effective mechanisms for the protection, management and enhancement of the natural environment. It uses a holistic approach to managing all aspects of a watershed's natural heritage system, including hydrological resources (groundwater and surface water), terrestrial resources (wildlife habitat and habitat connectivity), aquatic resources and habitat (e.g. fish, streams, wetlands), and the inter - relationships that exist between these resources. Watershed plans are also locally based and therefore reflect, and are responsive to, the unique condition's including human land uses that exist within each watershed. 1.3 Both the Durham Region and the Clarington Official Plans include policies that recognize the importance of watershed planning to the protection and wise management of natural heritage resources, and support the preparation of multi - stakeholder watershed planning studies. The Regional and Clarington Official Plans include policies to implement individual watershed plans. 1.4 In 2002, the provincial government, through the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, directed every upper -tier and single -tier municipality to prepare watershed plans for every watershed whose streams originate on the Moraine; the Greenbelt Plan also endorses watershed planning. In response to these legislative requirements, the CA's in partnership with the Region of Durham and the Municipality of Clarington and other watershed municipalities, have coordinated the preparation of watershed plans for the lands regulated within their jurisdiction. GRCA prepared watershed plans for the watersheds in Clarington in 2010 (PSD- 043 -10) which were referred to the Official Plan Review process. KRCA have watershed plans for Blackstock and East Cross Creeks in final draft. CLOCA has been working on the Oshawa, Black /Harmony /Farewell Creeks; and Bowmanville /Soper Creek Watershed Management Plans (Attachment 1). 1.5 There are a number of small creeks that do not originate on the Oak Ridges Moraine and carrying out watershed plans for these creeks is necessary prior to development being able to proceed in that geographical area. As part of the Official Plan Review, Clarington undertook the watershed planning exercise for Robinson and Tooley Creeks. Council referred the results of this study to the Official Plan Review along with other site specific recommendations as per Report PSD- 006 -12. The remainder of the small creeks not originating on the Moraine will require watershed plans prior to being able to proceed with the Secondary Plans for these urbanizing areas. Watershed planning and more detailed sub - watershed plans are the basis for the Secondary Plans. 1.6 All of the watershed planning background information and existing features work, whether completed or in progress has been used as the basis for the Natural Heritage Systems Discussion Paper, which is being released as noted in PSD- 027 -13. 2.1 The process for preparing'a watershed plan involves eight steps, as follows: Step 1: Scoping Step 2: Characterization of the watershed system Step 3: Setting goals, objectives and working targets Step 4: Developing management alternatives Step 5: Evaluating management alternatives Step 6: Selecting preferred management alternatives Step 7: Finalizing targets Step 8: Developing implementation and monitoring plans 2.2 Step 1 ( Scoping) involves choosing a study area, identifying issues of concern and information gaps, and creating a Terms of Reference for the study. Step 2 (Characterization of the Watershed) entails defining the historical and current conditions of the study area (i.e. the watershed). CLOCA completed the scoping exercise and the ABC (Abiotic, Biotic and Cultural) Background Reports for each of the subject watersheds in the past 3 years. These background reports contain the scientific information and local knowledge necessary for the preparation of the actual Watershed Plans (Steps 3 to 8 of the process). 2.3 A successful watershed planning process is, by necessity, a cooperative process that involves a variety of governmental and non - governmental stakeholders. CLOCA sought public and stakeholder input during the preparation of the watershed plans. This public input was at the existing conditions stage and when a final draft of the Watershed Plan was available. 2.4 The planning process employed by CLOCA in preparing the existing conditions study and Watershed Management Plan is employed throughout the province. It is consistent with the process used by the other Conservation Authorities that have jurisdiction over lands in Clarington. 2.5 The CLOCA Board endorsed "How Much Nature is Enough" as the approved methodology for all of their watershed planning exercises at the June 2010 Board meeting. The methodology for the determination of the functional natural heritage system was completed using this methodology. However, detailed field investigation to verify the table top mapping exercise will be necessary prior to undertaking the Secondary Plans. A finer level of detail is required for the Secondary Plans that have yet to be prepared. *. • 1 1, . 3.1 In general Watershed Management Plans divide watersheds into three separate components to facilitate the presentation of information and the discussion of issues, as follows: • Water • Natural Heritage Resources • Transboundary Issues /Anthropogenic Influences 3.2 The discussion of these existing conditions and the results of the analysis (e.g. the setting of targets) is then detailed in three categories: Watershed Targets (e.g. the percentage of different types of natural cover and where they would most enhance the watershed to meet sustainability goals), Implementation of these targets and Monitoring and Evaluation of these targets. 3.3 Oshawa Creek The Oshawa Creek watershed is mostly within the boundaries of the City of Oshawa except for a small portion of the Enfield Subwatershed in the northern portion of Clarington (Attachment 2). The portion of the subwatershed that lies within Clarington is 9.87 km and lies within the ORM and Greenbelt, as such urbanization is not anticipated in this area. The activities recommended as part of the Watershed Management Plan for the portion in Clarington is stewardship of the existing natural heritage features and enhancement, protection of the high volume recharge areas and the support of best management practices for agriculture. The CLOCA Board approved the Oshawa Creek Watershed Management Plan at their meeting of February 20th, 2013. 3.4 Black /Harmony /Farewell Creeks The Black/Harmony /Farewell Creeks Watershed is located in the mid -south of Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority's jurisdiction and drains an area of approximately 108 km2 of which 71.14 km2 is in Clarington (Attachment 3). The northwest and western parts of this watershed abut the Oshawa Creek Watershed, while the northeast portion lies adjacent to the Bowmanville Creek Watershed. The southeast side of the watershed borders along the Darlington, Robinson, and Tooley Creek Watersheds. Much of the northern urban areas of Courtice are within this watershed. The CLOCA Board approved the Black /Harmony /Farewell Creeks Watershed Management Plan at their meeting of February 20th, 2013. 3.5 Bowmanville /Soper Creeks The Bowmanville /Soper Creek Watershed are the east and west creeks that define the edges of the historical portions of the Bowmanville urban area (Attachment 4). The creeks and tributaries drain an area of approximately 170 km2 from the headwaters in the Oak Ridges Moraine to Lake Ontario. In the middle of the watershed is the 8 -97 shoreline of glacial Lake Iroquois and at the southern extent is the Bowmanville Coastal Wetland Complex, a provincially significant wetland. The watershed encompasses the hamlets of Burketon, Enfield, Enniskillen, Haydon, Hampton and Tyrone. The CLOCA Board will be asked to approve the Bowmanville /Soper Creeks Watershed Management Plan in the near future. CLOCA staff are currently finalizing the document. 3.6 To implement the Watershed Management Plans the Conservation Authorities assist and advise the Municipality during the Official Plan Review. While there are suggested model Official Plan policies in the Watershed Management Plans it is not the intent of the staff to amalgamate all of these policies; rather there will be a vetting process to determine which policies are already addressed, additional policies that should be included and policies that would reduce flexibility to address issues restrictively and therefore will not be included as recommended. 3.7 One of the major concerns of the agricultural community and staff is the assistance and support for the stewardship initiatives recommended in the watershed plans. The identification of target naturalization areas in the rural countryside should be accompanied by an overall Action Plan of how to implement the targets and a program to work with the agricultural community plus other rural property owners. While Action Plans are recommended in the CLOCA Watershed Plans they have yet to be developed. When they are developed there should be like stewardship programs across the Municipality offered by the respective CA's. 4. OFFICIAL PLAN REVIEW 4.1 The Watershed Plans whether completed or in final draft has been used in the Official Plan Review process. The information regarding the existing natural heritage system is part of the analysis for the Natural Heritage Discussion Paper which is the subject of PSD- 027 -13. 4.2 Clarington through the policies in the 1996 Official Plan was a leader in the development of the use of Watershed Plans to guide urban development. More specifically on individual sites the use of Environmental Impact Studies to determine and assist in the protection of ecological functions with the overall goal of developing and encouraging sustainable communities was unique when implemented by Clarington in 1996. The public consultation undertaken at the beginning of the Official Plan review reaffirmed "preserving the natural environment" as the number one priority with a 93% approval rating from the public. 4.3 The Natural Heritage Systems Discussion Paper takes the existing conditions information from each of the Conservation Authorities and watershed areas to determine the extents of the Natural Heritage System in Clarington and how it should be protected for future generations. 5. CONCURRENCE - Not applicable REPORT RIO.: PSD- 026 -13 PAGE 6 6. CONCLUSION 6.1 The preparation of a Watershed Management Plans is the first step in the ongoing process of managing and protecting the resources and ecological functions of a watershed. In order to be effective in achieving its stated goals and objectives, the management actions recommended by the Watershed Management Plans need to be implemented by the various stakeholders to the watershed planning process. Provincial legislation, the Provincial Policy Statement and the policies in the Durham Region Official Plan require the Municipality to incorporate appropriate policies into its Official Plan in order to implement watershed plans. 6.2 It is therefore appropriate that the Watershed Management Plans for Oshawa, Black /Harmony /Farewell and Bowmanville /Soper Creeks be referred to Staff as they continue their detailed consideration in the ongoing Clarington Official Plan Review process.

Public input and review opportunities are presented as often as possible to ensure that the Official Plan Amendments proposed to Council meet the needs of the community and conform to Provincial Plans and policies. 1.3 To date, staff has released the following discussion papers: • Introductory, Discussion Paper, April 2008 • Let's Have a Discussion... Improving our Built Environment and the Planning Process, December 2009 • Courtice Main Street Study Issues Review Paper, January 2010 • Community Forecasts Population and Employment Projections, February 2010 • Economic Base and Employment Lands, July 2010 • Intensification Discussion Paper, September 2011 • Robinson/Tooley Creeks Watershed Management Plan, January 2012 • Growth Management Discussion Paper, May 2012 1.4 Also, Council has approved two Official Plan Amendments; • OPA 77 (including policies related to the planning process, urban design, cultural heritage and employment lands) and, • OPA 89 which includes the corridor policies and the replacement of the Courtice West Shopping District Secondary Plan with the Courtice Main Street Secondary Plan. 2.1 The purpose of this report is to announce the release of the Natural Heritage Discussion Paper, the imminent release of the Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper and the Public Information Sessions related to these two discussion papers. 8 -105 kimono WEVITI-RiTE-W. PAGE 3 3.1 The Natural Heritage Discussion Paper is a component of Planning for Sustainable and Healthy Communities theme. The Paper has been prepared with the assistance of the Ganaraska Region and the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authorities. Supporting information has been provided by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. 3.2 The term "natural heritage" commonly refers to species (plant, animal, terrestrial and aquatic) ecosystems and the geological features that support them. The features that make up the Natural Heritage systems benefit from an overall analysis. The various methods used to define these systems and the component parts of the natural heritage system including valleylands, wetlands and woodlands. 3.3 The natural heritage system proposed for Clarington includes those features that are part of a linked system as well as those natural heritage features (i.e. Woodlands) that are spatially separated from the linked system. This proposed approach is applicable to all parts of the Clarington including urban areas, lands within the Greenbelt, the Oak Ridges Moraine and other rural areas. 3.4 The discussion paper explains how the natural heritage system is currently identified and protected through a combination of policies, land use designations and supporting Official Plan maps. The paper concludes with recommendations of how to update the existing natural heritage system policies and the associated mapping and the policies that protect this system for the purposes of inclusion into the Clarington Official Plan. 4 PARKS, OPEN SPACE AND TRAILS DISCUSSION PAPER 4.1 The Parks, Trails, and Open Space Discussion Paper has been prepared by Dillon Consulting Ltd. and will be released in late April 2013. The Discussion Paper will discuss the existing policy framework and potential updates where necessary. This information, on a municipal wide basis, will provide the quantitative and qualitative information on which to base future recommendations for parkland and open space (including trails) delivery. The outcome of the Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper is to identify areas where existing policy could be improved or further developed 4.2 The Parks, Open Space, and Trails Policy Review will supplement growth and land use objectives of the Official Plan and the Strategic Plan. Other related themes within the current policy review include Growth Management and Sustainable and Healthy Communities. 5. COUNTRYSIDE DISCUSSION PAPER 5.1 The Countryside Discussion Paper is under preparation by staff and will evaluate the effectiveness of rural and agricultural Official Plan policies in achieving the goals and objectives identified. A major part of the review is ensuring that the Clarington Official Plan is in conformity with the Greenbelt Plan. 8 -106 �._ 6.1 The release of the Natural Heritage Discussion Paper, and the Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper (late April 2013), will be followed by five Public Information Sessions. All five sessions are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - Newcastle and District Recreation Complex Wednesday, May 1, 2013 - G.B. Rickard Recreation Complex Thursday, May 2, 2013 - Solina Community Hall Tuesday, May 7, 2013 - Orono Arena Wednesday, May 3, 2013 - Faith United Church, Courtice 6.2 All meetings are scheduled for 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Staff from the Municipality, CLOCA, GRCA and MNR will be available to answer any questions. 6.3 A notice will be sent to all interested parties announcing the release of Natural Heritage Discussion Paper and the Parks, Open Space and Trials Discussion Paper and the public consultation sessions. 6.4 The Natural Heritage System Discussion Paper is available on the Official Plan Review website http : / /www.clarington.net/ourplan /. The Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper will be posted by mid - April. Compact discs of all Discussion Papers are available. The public is encouraged to provide comments. The Discussion Papers are available to the public in all Clarington Library branches. 6.5 As Council may recall, staff proposed amendments to the Official Plan (former Amendment 80; Public Meeting April 2011; Staff report PSD- 030 -11) to place the lands identified as Provincially Significant Wetland (PSW) by the Ministry of Natural Resources into Environmental Protection Area designations, and to update the natural heritage features information of the Plan to accurately reflect the location of PSWs. Following the public meeting in April, 2011, a mediated session was held with a group of concerned residents. 6.6 In response to an inquiry regarding follow -up meetings with residents who were concerned with MNR identified PSWs, Council passed a resolution requesting the Ministry of Natural Resources staff, CLOCA, MP Bev Oda and MPP John O'Toole and other parties be invited to a Town Hall meeting to make a presentation and answer questions from residents and further requested that affected landowners be advised of the public meeting by ordinary mail. 6.7 Staff re- evaluated the originally proposed PSW amendment in the context of the entire Official Plan Review. Staff determined, and communicated to Council, that it was more appropriate have follow -up meetings with concerned landowner's within Hancock Neighbourhood separately since this was the area that urgently needed an update to the PSW policies. The balance of the PSW areas, largely within the rural areas, would be considered in the context of the Natural Heritage Discussion Paper. 1 �7gl a i lgmg■ �I I L 6.8 Staff from the Ministry of Natural Resources and both Conservation Authorities will be present at the five Public Information Sessions to address questions. All landowners affected by the PSW designation in the Municipality will be notified by ordinary mail. MPP John O'Toole and MP Erin O'Toole will be advised of the public information sessions. 8.1 The Natural Heritage Discussion Paper identifies an approach for the definition and delineation of the Natural Heritage System and the proposed land use designations, policies and supporting schedules for inclusion in the Clarington Official Plan. Public input will be sought over the next few months. 8.2 The Parks, Open Space and Trails Discussion Paper recommends enhancements that can be made to the existing Official Plan policies to ensure that Clarington continues to provide the necessary amenities for residents of the community.

BACKGROUND 1.1 The Corporation of the Municipality of Clarington entered into a Subdivision Agreement, registered July 14, 2004, with Black Creek Developments Ltd. to develop lands by plan of subdivision, located in Courtice and described as Plans 40M -2317, 40R -24115 and 40R -24135 (Attachment 1). The agreement required the developer to construct all roadworks, including hot -mix paving, sidewalks, curb and gutter, street trees, a storm drainage system and streetlights, hereinafter referred to as the 'Works'. 1.2 The Subdivision Agreement provides for the separation of the Works into four (4) stages: a) Initial Works; b) Final Works; c) Street Lighting System; and d) Stormwater Management System (not applicable) 1.3 The project was subsequently divided into Phases 2A and 2B. The Initial Works and Street Lighting System for Phase 2A were issued 'Certificates of Completion" and subsequent 'Certificates of Acceptance' by the Director of Engineering Services. 1.4 The Final Works for Phase 2A were issued a 'Certificate of Completion' dated December 1, 2011. This initiated a one (1) year maintenance period, which expired on December 1, 2012. The Works were re- inspected at that time, and all deficiencies have now been rectified to the satisfaction of the Director of Engineering Services. 1.5 It is now appropriate to issue a 'Certificate of Acceptance' for the Final Works in Phase 2A. The Subdivision Agreement requires Council approval prior to the issuance of the `Certificate of Acceptance' for the Final Works in Phase 2A. 1.6 Further to the issuance of a `Certificate of Acceptance', a by -law is required to permit the Municipality to assume certain streets within Plans 40M - 2317, 40M -2213, 40R -24115 and 40R -24135 as public highways (Attachment 2). 2.

Adrian Foster, Mayor Patti L. Barrie, Municipal Clerk Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE Date: April 8, 2013 Resolution #: By -law: Report#: CLD- 014 -13 File #: Subject: ANIMAL SHELTER MANAGING OPTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report CLD- 014 -13 be received for information. Submitted by: PLB /CAG a Reviewed by: C-C) Franklin Wu, Chief Administrative Officer CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L1C 3A6 T 905 - 623 -3379 13 -1 On February 11, 2013 Council approved the allocation of funds for the proposed new Animal Services Manager and requested a report from the CAO regarding supervision options. Organizationally, the Clarington Animal Shelter has been transferred several times over the years. In 1988 Animal Services was transferred from the Clerk's Department to Planning Services and in 1993 it was transferred to Community Services. In January of 1996 it was then transferred back to the Clerk's Department where it has remained. The Animal Shelter staff is responsible for providing the following services: fostering, impounding of animals at large, picking up carcasses, reuniting animals with families and routine neighbourhood patrol, sheltering and caring for impounded /surrendered animals, public education and enforcement of animal related by -laws. Although many of the sheltering services are unique from the other services provided by Municipal Clerk's Department staff, the enforcement activities are very consistent with those services provided by our Municipal Law Enforcement Division. Staff believes that the current reporting relationship of Animal Services within the Municipal Clerk's Department is appropriate. Currently the Deputy Clerk is charged with the responsibility of managing the Animal Shelter. The scope of these duties and on -going daily demands has grown over the years concurrently with the increased daily demands in the other areas of the Deputy's duties and responsibilities. These conflicting demands result in the Deputy Clerk having to be in two places at once in order to fulfil her duties. This is simply proving to be an extremely challenging prospective given the significant demands on the Deputy Clerk. 2. CHALLENGES To effectively assess the options for managing the Animal Shelter activities, it is prudent to fully understand the current challenges of the work unit. The core business functions of the Animal Shelter have not necessarily changed, however the service level demands, legislative demands, and operational challenges have all increased. The Municipal Clerk had included the position of Animal Shelter Manager in the Municipal Clerk's Department Budget forecast for more than five years and as such it is important to recognize that this need is not a knee -jerk reaction to the staffing shortage issues that were experienced in 2011 and throughout 2012. a) Health and Safety - The focus of health and safety on the job has always been a concern, but over the past number of years the focus on health and safety for our workers, the community and the visitors to the Shelter has become very much proactive rather than reactive. The shelter environment is very unique and presents a greater opportunity for risk of worker injury as staff are constantly working with and handling animals of unknown behaviour. Policies and standard operating procedures have been implemented with no reasonable means by 13 -2 REPORT NO.: CLD -014 -13 PAGE 3 which to monitor, modify and improve behaviours and ensure consistent and on- going compliance by staff. b) Service Levels and Job Expectations — Over the past 10 years the face of Clarington has changed. Our population has increased by approximately 60 %, and our housing developments are typically on smaller lots with neighbours being closer. Complaint statistics suggest that people are generally becoming less tolerant of those issues that bother them and are more persistent for immediate remedies. As well, staff find that often people who have moved from large urban centres expect equal service levels from our smaller municipal organization. With these increased demands and staffing levels remaining status quo realizing efficiencies to meet the increased demands is paramount. Our volume of animal licences has increased by approximately 40% over the past 10 years. This increase in licences indicates the increase in animal population which transcends throughout all of our animal related services — more animals means more calls, more dispatches, and more time investigating and following up. These animal enforcement activities should be managed consistently, efficiently, thoroughly and in a timely manner to ensure quality customer service while minimizing risk to the municipality and our residents. c) Human Resource Issues — Dividing the management duties of the Deputy Clerk between the work unit at the Municipal Administrative Centre and the Animal Shelter work unit results in more of a reactive style of management rather than proactive for the Animal Shelter work unit. There have been a number of long- term staffing related issues, which have significantly increased in the last few years. Addressing these issues in a timely manner is difficult as the Deputy Clerk is not on -site. Quite often, these issues could have been avoided had the Deputy Clerk been on site to immediately work with the unit in moving forward as a team. These matters prove to be very time consuming and result in the work unit struggling to stay status quo rather than moving ahead as an organization. The shelter has experienced a number of human resource issues and due to lack of proximity and time constraints, the Deputy Clerk is challenged to effectively manage the staff to ensure that the work unit is adjusting appropriately to issues they face to make sure that the work continues to be performed properly, that the customers are being treated according to expected standards, while facilitating a harmonious work environment. Instead, the Deputy Clerk can only react to situations as they arise. d) Lack of On -Site Management, Leadership and Realization of Vision — Change for every work unit can be difficult to accept. Our Animal Services staff is very skilled and knowledgeable in the animal care field. They are animal - centric, but they are not business- or administrative - centric; a required skill for higher level decision making which affects the overall operation of the Animal Shelter. Without on -site management and leadership, the benefits of policy 13 -3 changes, service level changes, or procedural changes are not realized to the degree they should be. Our shelter staff has worked very hard over the years to build a positive reputation in our community. It is a struggle to maintain this reputation given recent staffing issues, lack of on -site leadership, increased job expectations and increased workload. To have a manager at the shelter will enable administration to fully address all concerns expressed above (ie. human resources issues, health and safety risks, inefficiencies, policies and practices) and, through dedicated leadership, realize the vision for the Shelter. On -site management will allow the Shelter to move forward to investigate and implement programs such as: • Public education programs in the schools • Marketing campaigns • Participation in adoption events • Implementing volunteer programs • Extended or modified hours of operation to better serve our clients None of these programs can be implemented without a manager dedicated to the development, planning, scheduling, staffing, participation and execution of such programs, without compromising the other work of the Deputy Clerk. 3. OPTIONS FOR SUPERVISION The challenges outlined above underscore the necessity for a dedicated staff person to lead the Animal Services Division team. Additionally, the Municipality's Pay Equity process identifies effective supervision as providing guidance in directly helping others in the performance of their work or skill development, including scheduling /assigning work, providing advice and directions, establishing work standards, approving the work of others, monitoring work quality and quality standards, finding, securing and /or reallocating resources, and providing disciplinary action if necessary. Also, the Manager would be expected to advise and consult with staff on difficult and /or regulatory cases and undertake the necessary research to anticipate trends in the animal care and enforcement field to ensure the Division is meeting the needs of the public now and into the future. To perform the required duties, the incumbent would require a thorough working knowledge and understanding of relevant by -laws and provincial legislation (eg. Animals for Research Act, Health Protection and Promotion Act, Dog Owners Liability Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, Responsible Pet Owners By -law, and Kennel Licensing By -law), training and experience in managing a similar facility, demonstrated exceptional management and leadership abilities, and above - average organizational and administrative skills, excellent report writing skills, research and analytical skills, excellent customer service experience, communication and 13 -4 interpersonal skills to deal effectively with staff, external agencies and the general public on very sensitive matters, and the ability to climb, lift and move heavy items. The following outlines are our options for filling this role. a) Status Quo As demonstrated above, the growth of the Municipality and increased demand for service from our residents has placed a strain on the current operation of the Shelter and the existing reporting structure is not providing optimal service to our residents, to the staff or to the animals under our care. The Deputy Clerk has worked diligently with the Division to facilitate improvements to the operations of the Animal Shelter, including: the automation of administrative record keeping and enforcement call dispatching; development and implementation of several operating policies and procedures; on -going training opportunities; and facility modifications. Despite these efforts, the challenges continue, and in some areas continue to escalate. b) Post and Fill New Position The option to post, interview and hire into a new position enables the Municipality to ensure that the candidate who best meets the qualifications and who is the best fit is hired. Animal Services is an area of expertise quite distinct from all other business units in our organization. To best serve our Animal Services staff, our clients and the animals that come into our care, we must ensure that the manager is skilled not only in managing people but also is skilled in working with animals and is dedicated to their welfare. As stated earlier, many of the issues and challenges the Animal Services Division faces today are not new. Dedicating the necessary management resources will assist the Division to overcome these issues and move forward as a unit and as a service outlet. Dedicating an on -site manager at the Animal Shelter will enable the Deputy Clerk to focus more on her activities in the Council Services Division including GPA, Corporate Records Management, Cemeteries, Elections, Lotteries and Vital Statistics. As with Animal Services, these programs require time to plan, develop and implement. 13 -5 REPORT NO.: CLD- 014 -13 c) Transfer Supervisor /Manager from another Work Unit gam The staff complement of the Municipality is and has traditionally been very lean. The administrative complement has been reviewed and it has been determined that there simply are no other managers or supervisors within the organization who have the specialized training and knowledge required for the position, nor are there managers or supervisors who could be relieved of their current duties to be transferred to the Animal Shelter. To implement such an option would result in simply transferring the Animal Shelter's challenges to the work unit being left without a manager /supervisor. 4. CONCURRENCE - Not Applicable 5. CONCLUSION The Clarington Animal Shelter has proven to be a valuable service to our community, whether it be the animals that have been reunited with their families, the lives saved through the sheltering of strays, the families who have found comfort with their adopted animal, or the complaints resolved to provide for a safe and harmonious community. As demonstrated throughout this report, achieving these successes is proving to be extremely difficult without appropriate on -site management, therefore the hiring of a manager for the unit is essential for the vision of the Municipality to be realized. Staff appreciate Council's support in moving the Animal Services Division forward by having approved the necessary funds for this Manager position in the 2013 budget.

In lieu of eliminating sick days accumulating, the Municipality provides for 100% pay for the first ten (10) days of illness per year with subsequent days paid at 75 %, to a maximum of 85 working days per illness annually, at which point Long Term Disability would be applicable. The Municipality outsources LTD coverage. 2.2 This plan was negotiated with CUPE and was also made mandatory for all Non- affiliated staff. It provides for an improved form of income replacement for illness and to relieve the Municipality of the long term liability associated with sick day accumulation (also referred to as banking) and payout upon retirement. 2.3 The self insured Short -term Sick Leave Plan has always been administered in house thereby eliminating premium costs for an external provider and benefit administrator. The self administered plan has led to effective attendance management. Employees not taking any sick days throughout a full calendar year of employment will receive four (4) days pay or take vacation -in -lieu. The amount of annual sick payout fluctuates from year to year depending on the number of employees achieving perfect attendance. For this reason, the amount is not budgeted for and the amount is charged to the salary account of the affected departments. Year Number of Number of Staff Sick Payout (paid in Eligible Staff with Perfect following year) (CUPE & Non Attendance Affiliated) 2012 235 40 $55,695 2011 230 63 $79,694 14 -2 REPORT NO.: COD - 009 -13 PAGE 3 3.0 ACCUMULATED LIABILITY OF SICK DAY PAYMENTS 3.1 The only group of employees that still maintain the sick day accumulation belongs to the members of the Professional Firefighters' Association. There are three (3) plans available to this group of 59 employees, subject to an employee's date of hire. Each plan has been negotiated in previous years with the Firefighters' Association and therefore are guaranteed under the current collective agreement with the Firefighters' Association. 3.2 The first plan, for employees hired before January 1, 2004 provides for twelve (12) sick days per year. Unused sick days may accumulate to a maximum of 182 days. Upon resignation or retirement employees receive a payout equal to one - half of the unused accumulated days (maximum accumulation is 182 days) at their rate of pay at the time of termination or retirement. The maximum payout is one half year's salary. 3.3 The second plan, for employees hired after January 1, 2004 also provides twelve (12) sick days per year with unused accumulated sick days banked. After five years of employment, employees with accumulated sick days in excess of 40 receive an annual payout equal to one -half of the number of days in excess of 40. Upon resignation or retirement exactly one -half of remaining unused accumulated sick days shall be paid at current rate of pay to a maximum of 20 days. The maximum lifetime payout is 91 days, paid out over several years. 3.4 The third plan, available to employees hired after January 1, 2004, is the short - term disability plan providing for 100% pay for the first five (5) days of illness per year and 75% of wages for the remaining days, for a total of 120 calendar days or 56 shifts, until Long Term Disability would be applicable. With the exception of the number of sick days paid at 100% this plan is identical to the sick plan negotiated and provided to CUPE and Non - Affiliated staff and therefore is not subject to accumulation and payout upon resignation or retirement. To date, no employee within this group has enrolled in this plan. 4.0 Liability 4.1 Sick plans that allow for the accumulation of days with the provision for payout create a significant financial liability for the employer as days accumulated in previous years are paid out at significantly higher rates of pay when an employee retires or resigns. The Municipality has repeatedly attempted to negotiate the 14 -3 PAGE 4 removal of the accumulated sick plans with the Fire Association.

The limits of the project are Duke Street from Nelson Street to Argyle Street and Nelson Street from Hunt Street to Ontario Street. This is the second phase of the reconstruction of Duke Street. Duke Street was reconstructed between Baseline Road and Nelson Street in 2012. The design work for the full length of the project including Nelson Street was done as part of the first phase. Prior to completing the design, a Public Information Centre was held on December 14, 2011 to review the project with the public and to get their input regarding the proposed works. For more detailed information on the PIC, please refer to Report EGD- 006 -12. Duke Street and Nelson Street are currently constructed to a rural cross section. Upon completion of the works, the streets will be reconstructed to an urban standard with concrete curb and gutter, sidewalks (new and existing), new storm sewers and new road structure. The surface asphalt will be placed in 2016 under a separate contract. The Municipality of Clarington is working in cooperation with the Region of Durham on this project. They will be replacing the watermain and sanitary servicing on Duke Street and the watermain servicing on Nelson Street. Based on references checked and our past experience with this contractor, we recommend award of the contract to Eagleson Construction in the amount of $1,567,624.00, inclusive of HST, or $1,411,693.97 net of HST rebate, for the reconstruction of Duke Street and Nelson Street. The portion of the contract that will be funded by the Region of Durham is $841,544.21, inclusive of HST, or $757,836.63 net of HST rebate, which represents the cost of the sanitary and watermain servicing and their contribution to the road related items associated with their works. 14 -13 Duke Street and Nelson Street Reconstruction, CL2013 -3 2 April 2, 2013 Due to past experiences on similar projects, a contingency amount of 10% is carried forward.

Under the Building Code Act, 1992 and the passing of subsequent amendments and Ontario Regulation. 350/06, municipalities are required to prepare an annual report that records the amount of building permit fees collected and the costs incurred-during the process, Division C Part 1 Section 1.9 of the Building Code specifies what is to be included in the annual report as follows: (1) The report referred to'in Subsection 7 (4) of the Act shall contain the following information in respect of fees authorized under Clause 7 (1) (c) of the Act: (a) total fees collected in the 12 -month period ending no earlier than three months before the.,release of the report, (b) the direct and indirect costs -of delivering'services related to the administration. and enforcement of the Act in the area of jurisdiction of the principal authority in the 12 -month period referred to in Clause (a), (c) a break -down of the costs described in Clause (b) into at least the following categories: (i) direct costs of administration and enforcement of the Act, including the review of applications for permits and inspection of buildings, and (ii) . indirect costs of administration and enforcement of the Act, including support and overhead costs, and (d) if a reserve fund has been established for any. purpose relating to the administration or enforcement of the Act, the amount of the fund at the end of the 12 -month period referred to in Clause (a). (2) The principal authority shall give notice of the preparation of a report under Subsection 7 (4) of the Act to every person and organization that has requested that the principal authority provide the person or organization with such notice and has provided an address for the notice. 1.1 The requirement to issue an annual report on building permit fees came into effect for the 2006 year which means the first report was required by March 31, 2007. It is unclear in the regulations as to how the annual report is to be reported; i.e. via Council meeting, newspaper advertising, municipal website, etc. 1.2 In accordance with the Building Code Act as amended, staff have prepared this report to Council on an informational basis and Attachment "A" will be posted on the municipality's website in April 2013. 1.3 On Attachment "A' for the summary of the 2012 Annual Report for Building Permit Fees, the total building permit fees revenue is lower than the total of the direct. and indirect costs by $1,323 which is insignificant for an adjustment. 15 -2 1.4 As the Building Division reserve fund was drained during the 2008 to 2010 period as a result of the poor economic conditions, an additional transfer of $200,000 was made in 2012 to try to put this reserve fund back on a more sound footing for coming years. The fact that, for 2012, the revenue is lower than the costs by $1,323 is not of significant concern for an adjustment to be done. 1.5 In December 2011, the building permits increased significantly due to the effect of the building code change effective January 1, 2012. 1.6 During the 2012 year, the Engineering Department advised Council through the monthly building permit activity report that the building permits issued in 2012 were going to be lower in comparison to the 2011 year. 1.7 The total number of all types of building permits issued .in 2012 was 1,056 compared to 1,188 in 2011 which translates into 11% decrease in 2012. 1.8 The total number of new residential building permits issued in 2012 was 536 compared to 863 in 2011 which translates into 37.9% decrease in 2012. 1.9. The below graph illustrates the number of permits for all types and new residential for the last 7 years. The 2010 figures are more in line with the pre 2007 figures. The 2011 figure is unusually high due to the effect of the building code change effective January 1, 2012. 'The activity in 2012 reverts to the pre 2007 figures. 15 -3 CONCLUSION: 2.0 Attachment "A" is a summary of the 2012 building permit fees revenue and related expenditures with the expenses broken down into direct and indirect costs along with the balance of the building division reserve fund. It also reflects that the total amount of the permit fees is lower than the costs to administer and enforce the Building Code Act. This small deficit is immaterial for an adjustment from the.Building Division reserve fund. 2.1 . It is not necessary to adjust the building fees as the Building Fees By -Law #2011 -036 contains a clause to increase building fees by three (3) percent annually effective January 1St each year. 3.0 CONCURRENCE – not applicable CONFORMITY WITH STRATEGIC PLAN – The recommendations contained in this report conform to the general intent of the following priorities of the Strategic Plan: Promoting economic development X Maintaining financial stability _ Connecting Clarington _ Promoting green initiatives _ Investing in infrastructure Showcasing our community — Not in conformity with Strategic Plan Staff Contact: Nancy Taylor, BBA, CPA, CA, Director of Finance/Treasurer Attachments: Attachment "A ": Summary of 2012 Building Permit Fees Revenue & Expenditures 15 -4 AI'TACHMENTA REPORT FND- 005 -13 MUNICIPALITY OF CLARINGTON Building Permit Fee Annual Report for 2012 REVENUES Total Building Permit fees collected during 2012 year under the Municipality of Clarington's Bylaw Number 2011 -036, as amended is $1,901.801.
