1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 At the initiation of the Orono BIA and in collaboration with the Clarington Board of Trade
a "Community Forum" was held in Orono on June 18th, 2003, The community forum
included a presentation by Dr, Robert Shipley, Assistant Professor in the School of
Planning at the University of Waterloo. Dr. Shipley related his personal knowledge as a
former resident of St. Jacob's supplemented with his research findings and academic
teachings regarding the development and sustainability of small urban centres as
tourism attractions. Dr. Shipley's presentation was particularly helpful to the residents
attending the forum in understanding the potential impacts to the community of
destination tourism attraction development. Subsequent to Dr, Shipley's presentation
and a question/answer session the 80 residents in attendance participated in a
"brainstorming" session where they addressed specific questions regarding the Orono
community and how they would/would not like to see it change, The results of the
brainstorming session are attached (Attachment 3),
In June 2003, Council received and approved Report PSD-083-Q3, which provided short
and longer term initiatives to address the business malaise identified by the Orono BIA,
The shorter term initiatives of signage, a brochure and some cross-marketing are
currently underway. The longer term initiative identified was the preparation of a
community improvement plan (CIP).
1.2 A Community Improvement Plan is defined under Part IV of the Planning Act; the
preparation and passage of such a plan provides municipalities with the authorization to
enact certain programmes, capital works, land acquisitions and other alternative
measures that are not applicable throughout the municipality but are designed to
specifically address the issues facing a designated area. For example, under a CIP the
Municipality may operate a grant or loan programme to pay for the whole or part of the
cost of rehabilitating private properties and buildings. A CIP is a comprehensive
community-based planning study with implementation steps and timeframes,
Part IV of the Planning Act states that the Council of a municipality may, by By-law,
define an area of the municipality as an area to be examined for community
improvement. The Council may, after such examination is completed, prepare Official
Plan provisions with respect to the implementation of the CIP, Approval of a by-law to
study an area does not stop any type of activity from being conducted if that activity
complies with the current regulations in place, The purpose of the By-law is only to
delineate the area to be studied.
2,0 PUBLIC CONSULTATION
2,1 The community forum in Orono on June 18th was a good indication of whether Orono
residents are desirous of developing a longer term plan, The attendance of
approximately 80 people and their participation in the brainstorming exercise are a good
indicator of the community support for such an initiative (Attachment 4).
The community forum is a vital first step in the preparation of the CIP, as is the
appointment of a Community Focus Group. To ensure that we have a cross-section of
representation from the community, a list of stakeholders from which volunteers will be
sought is listed in the proposed work program (Attachment 2).

REPORT NO.: PSD-096.o3
PAGE 3
2.2 The best practices of other municipalities have indicated that the establishment of a
Community Focus Group is instrumental to guide the Municipality through the
preparation of the Community Improvement Plan. The Group is to be appointed by the
Director of Planning Services. The Group is to be comprised of representatives of
stakeholders in the Orono community, the Group will be assisted by staff from the
Planning Services Department and Clarington Board of Trade.
Staff representatives would be Faye Langmaid, Manager of Special Projects, Planning
Services Department, and Suzanne McCrimmon, Clarington Board of Trade, A number
of community residents, representatives of special interests and events will be selected
after the community is canvassed for volunteers and notified of appointment by the
Director of Planning Services, The first task of the Committee will be to review the work
plan and terms of reference for the community improvement plan.
3,0 CONCLUSION
3.1 A Community Improvement Plan can address such items as a marketing strategy and
initiatives, the creation of a community design statement (a vision of the physical and
social characteristics that the community wishes to maintain and enhance), streetscape
enhancements and the development of organizational capital to carryout long-term
recommendations.
3.2 The community forum held in Orono on June 18th was a very positive and productive
meeting. The residents of Orono in combination with the business community and
interests can best determine the future initiatives, programmes and policies for the
community through the development of a community improvement plan with the
assistance of the Municipality.
3.3 It is recommended that the study area by-law be approved so that the Community
Focus Group can be established and the formal process can begin.

ORONO COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
WORK PROGRAM
WHY WILL THIS CIP STUDY BE UNDERTAKEN?
The main purpose of this Community Improvement Plan [CIP] is to articulate a vision for Orono,
based on an assessment of past experience and future prospects, along with a realistic "road map"
of how to get there.
WHA T IS A CIP?
A CIP is a comprehensive community-based planning study with no set preconceptions. This
approach Implies that all previous activity, development incentives, and policies applicable to the
project area are "up for review", as such, a prudent first step is to review and explore what the main
"givens" for the area are and what positive or negative outcomes may arise from change, At its
February 24, 2003 meeting Council instructed administration to review options with respect to the
concerns of the Orono Business Improvement Association. Further the Official Plan identified
Orono as a Special Study Area (17.3.1) and as a "first" priority for a Community Improvement Plan
(22.3.2).
WHERE WILL THE STUDY AREA BE FOR THIS CIP?
The Planning Act permits Council to designate the "project area" to be investigated during a CIP
study. The larger the project area, the more complex and time consuming the research and analysis
may become. The Official Plan designated an area bounded by Highway 35/115, Regional Road 4,
east of Regional Road 17 including the lands that were formally part of the Ministry's forestry
operation and a southern boundary of the Winter Road subdivision; a larger contextual area is
being suggested for the study boundaries as the surrounding area greatly influences the viability
and activity of Main Street (see attachment).
WHO WILL PARTICIPATE IN THE WORK PROGRAM FOR THE CIP?
The work program identifies 4 entities to participate in distinct roles:
Entitv Number/ComDosition Role EXDectation/OutDuts

The Community Focus Group, introduced above, is proposed as a means of capturing in a
consistent way the unique interests or objectives of local stakeholders who may be directly and
permanently affected by what the Orono CIP sets out in its final form. It is important that each
stakeholder viewpoint is represented throughout the development of the CIP. In a sense each
stakeholder may be thought of as the "ambassador" for his/her stakeholder viewpoint

HOWWILL THE CIP WORK PROGRAM PROCEED?
The CIP will take into account the existing Official Plan policy calling for limited urban growth in
Orono contingent on specific infrastructure improvements being in place. In addition, the
designations of local central area, neighbourhood commercial and highway commercial could be
reconsidered as part of the overall CIP framework. In addition, a CIP allows the municipality to tap
into senior government funding, if applicable.
The work program groups tasks into four phases as summarized in the attached "Work Program At-
A-Glance". It is not the intention to identify here every administrative task needed to complete the
work program.
PROJECT PLANNING
. Establish the need for and desired approach to be used for the CIP, and thereby the
rationale for doing the CIP (including community forum to discuss issues).
. Develop a Draft Work Program that can accommodate the desired rationale and approach.
. Confirm the boundaries of the territory to be investigated.
. Designate the people to be involved in the process.
. Confirm the Work Program, including the expectations regarding roles & responsibilities,
time line, and budget (report to Council).
RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS
. Research & document the contexts existing at the outset of the planning study, to be used
as background for discussions and a benchmark for measuring "what is" against "what is
possible". Typical contexts are: policy, land use, property ownership, physical
condition/character, history and heritage, demographics (CIP area and beyond it),
investment & economic conditions, infrastructure ("hard" and "soft") etc.
. Undertake a workshop with the focus group to arrive at a consensus of the area's strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This activity should validate and
update/modify/supplement the research documented in the previous step.
. the CFG's impression of the area's conditions and potential with Community for
confirmation.
DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS
. Undertake a "Brainstroming" exercise to set goals and objectives for the area, based on the
analvsis documented from the previous proiect phase. The forum proposed for this activity is
a weeknight evening "workshop" with the Clarington Staff and Community Focus Group.
ORONO COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN
WORK PROGRAM
681 3
DRAFT
. Document a "list" of potential implementation measures, which are capable of addressing
the weaknesses and threats identified from the previous project phase. These typically fall
into the area of Policy Changes, Financial Tools, and Organizational Changes.
. Produce the draft version of the CIP, documenting specific recommended initiatives in
various areas [e.g. policy, land use, property ownership, physical condition/character,
infrastructure] together with time lines, resources, responsibilities, and future circumstances
under which changes to the adopted initiatives do or do not require a CIP amendment. [The
Draft CIP would contain all documentation of the work undertaken in both this and the
previous phase.]
. Review the draft CIP with the community at an open house. Review with the Community
Focus Group the draft CIP, requesting it to render a written opinion on it.
. Forward the draft CIP with Staff report and Community Focus Group recommendations to
Council.
IMPLEMENTATION
. Submit the Draft CIP for deliberation at the GP&A meeting.
. Adopt the CIP including any amendments resulting from Council's deliberation of the draft.
. Draft amendments to by-laws, policies, zoning, etc. may also be prepared during this phase,
with a view to being ready to adopt them with, or shortly after, the Region's adoption of the
finalized CIP.
WHEN WILL THIS CIP BE COMPLETED?
The appended "Work Program At-A-Glance" contemplates that the CIP, including Official Plan
amendments and any necessary zoning changes will take approximately 12 months to complete.
This time line was based on the staff resources available to participate in the project and the
assumption that the territory to be investigated is similar in scope to what has traditionally been
characterized locally as the Orono Urban Area.

SUMMATION
The Orono Community Forum was an opportunity to brainstorm some ideas of how the village can and
should change, and specifically what the residents in attendance do not want to see change.. The attendees
(+/- 80) were very articulate and passionate about what they like about living in Orono. Some of the
688
6
responses were surprising, such as the suggestion of a "finer" dining facility. \Vhile, others such as civic
beautification and the promotion of public amenities can be built 00. Debate over whether sewers and
communal services "\vill be a benefit or a drawback will continue.
'W'hile people discussed g1:owth and change; a common defmition of these terms is needed ("the take home
assignment").
NEXT STEPS
The results of the community forum will be reported out to Council (after the summer recess) along with a
recommendation to prepare a Community Improvement Plan (CIP) that builds on the comments obtained at
the community forum.
Notes transcribed from the sheets prepared at the community forum.
