Submitted by: Reviewed by: DAA,YCrome, MCIP, RPP Franklin Wu, Director of Planning Services Chief Administrative Officer Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-054-14 Page 2 Report Overview An update to the current planning application fees is recommended. Planning application fees were reviewed for the Durham Region lakeshore municipalities. The review concluded that a majority of Clarington's application fees were lower when compared with the other Durham Region lakeshore municipalities. Some increases and changes to how fees are collected have been recommended, however Clarington's fees will remain in line with or lower than the other Durham Region lakeshore municipalities. The report also recommends moving away from a year end fee increase to a mid-year increase. Background 1. Section 69 of the Planning Act allows a Municipality to pass a by-law setting out a fee schedule for processing of planning applications. The fees collected are intended to recover the "anticipated cost" to the Municipality for processing development applications. It is important to note that the fees collected do not fully recover the cost of processing applications when direct and indirect costs, including overhead, pre-consultation meetings, and circulation of revised submissions are included. Clarington currently recovers approximately 40 percent of the cost of processing applications. Many municipalities acknowledge an underlying principle that recovery of municipal costs must be balanced; not becoming a barrier or disincentive for local residents and business owners to make an application. 2. Staff surveyed the current 2014 fees of the other four lakeshore municipalities in Durham Region (Pickering, Whitby, Ajax and Oshawa). A chart (Attachment 3) listing each municipality's fees for development applications was prepared for comparison. 3. The Fees By-law was last amended by Council on December 19, 2011, coming into effect January 1, 2012. Clarington's development fees were updated on the basis of anticipated inflation for a three year period. Minor adjustments and or new fees were included in the by-law. At that time the report indicated that staff would be undertaking a review of the fees prior to the next update. 4. The last major fees review was undertaken in 2008. At that time Pickering, Ajax and Oshawa had completed comprehensive fee reviews with the assistance of consultants. These detailed studies examined the components of full cost recovery which included: • Direct costs — labour costs (e.g. wages and benefits) and operating costs (e.g. materials and supplies, etc.) in the areas most involved with development review functions, which include Planning, Engineering, Building, Operations and Fire Services. • Indirect costs — operating costs associated'with individuals supporting direct service departments allocated on step-cost basis to each service department (e.g. Human Resources, Facility Maintenance, IT, etc.). • Capital costs — capital asset replacement costs for facility space, vehicles, and IT equipment associated with individuals directly participating in the application process. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-054-14 Page 3 5. More recently, the City of Oshawa and the Town of Whitby have updated their fees with the assistance of consultants. Oshawa's current fees came into effect on January 2, 2014 and will increase by 3% on January 1, 2015 and Whitby's current fees came into effect on September 1, 2014 and will increase 2.5% on the first of September in each calendar year. None of the other municipalities contacted indicated a review of their fees was currently underway. Revisions to Fees 6. The majority of the planning application fees have been rounded up or increased slightly and represent a small or modest increase to the current fees. A couple of fees including Zoning By-law Amendments have been increased more to better represent the amount of time staff spends reviewing and processing those applications. In addition to the proposed fee increases staff is proposing some changes to specific fees which are listed below: • The Official Plan Adoption fee has been incorporated into the base fee of the Official Plan Amendment application. • Minor Variance applications have been assigned fees based on the land use of the property. • Site Plan fees have incorporated a graduated rate for residential development so the per unit cost for greater than 100 units is reduced, resulting in a reduction in fees for larger developments. • Condominium applications will be a flat fee, eliminating the per unit fee resulting in a reduction in fees. • Subdivision fees for units within medium and high density blocks will be fixed at a density of 40 units per hectares. • A new fee has been proposed for the extension to a Temporary Use. Currently, the fee of a Zoning By-law Amendment is collected. • Apartment-in-House application fees and registration fees have been combined into one fee to be paid up front. 7. Clarington will remain amongst the lowest development application fees despite the fee increases. Staff have prepared a planning application fee comparison chart based on specific scenarios for site plan approval (Figure 1). The chart highlights the current and proposed costs for projects within Clarington and comparatively across the Durham lakeshore municipalities. As evidenced the proposed fees minimize cost recovery on potential economic development.

Staff recommend continuing to increase the development application fees gradually each year over the next three years, by 2% on July 1, 2015 and 3% thereafter. The fees have been rounded up or down to the nearest ten dollars. 9. In addition to the increases above, staff recommend increasing the per square metre cost of Commercial and Mixed Use Site Plan and Site Plan Amendment applications gradually each year, as shown in Attachment 1. Should other factors dramatically change in staff costs or in how applications are processed, staff can report back to Council with an update and further adjustments. 10. In previous years there has been a rush for applicants to submit applications prior to the Christmas shut down on December 24 to avoid increases to fees on January 1. This results in applications sitting idle when the Municipal Administrative Centre is closed for the holidays. Staff is proposing to move the fee increase to July 1st. It is still anticipated that there will be an increase of applications prior to the fee increase date; however, the Municipal Administrative Centre will not be closed during this period which will allow for quicker review and processing of applications. 11. The Apartment-in-House Registration By-law currently states fees for the application and the registration of an apartment-in-house. Instead of amending the Apartment-in-House Registration By-law every time a fee increase is proposed, staff recommend rewording Section 3.4 of the By-law to refer to Schedule A of the Fees By-law. Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-054-14 Page 5 Consultation 12. Letters were sent to BILD and the Durham Region Home Builders Association notifying them that the Planning Services Department was undertaking a review of the current development application fees. The letter was to inform the building industry of the review and provide an opportunity to review and comment on the proposed fee increases. 13. Written comments were received from BILD on August 26, 2014 requesting more information and more time to comment. The letter also identified concerns with per unit fees on condominium applications and site plan applications that can create a disincentive for higher density project. At a meeting with the Durham Region Home Builders Association on August 28, 2014 condominium fees were also raised as a concern and more information about the proposed fee increases were requested. Both parties asked questions relating to implementation of the new fees and the Durham Region Homebuilders Association requested not implementing the new fees until January 1, 2015. 14. Staff reviewed the comments received from both BILD and the Durham Region Home Builders Association and made some revisions to the proposed fees based on the comments received, and a copy of the comparison chart (Attachment 3) was sent to them on September 3rd. Staff responded to most of the issues raised including: • Lowering the proposed revised flat rate condominium fees • Providing a graduated fee for residential site plans with a lower cost per unit for projects greater than 100 units • Providing a formula for medium and high density blocks in plans of subdivision capped at 40 units per acre 15. Another meeting occurred on September 9, 2014 with staff, BILD and the Durham Region Home Builders Association to discuss the revised proposed fees. No new concerns were raised at the meeting; however, Durham Region Home Builders Association again requested that the implementation of the fees not occur until January 1, 2015. This was reiterated in their September 16, 2014 letter (Attachment 4). 16. This report and implementation date was delayed to allow for additional consultation. The proposed effective date of November 1St will be more than two months after our initial meeting with Durham Region Home Builders Association. In preconsultation meetings, future applicants have been advised of pending fee increases. Planning application fees represent a very small portion of the overall cost of a project. Concurrence 17. Not Applicable Municipality of Clarington Report PSD-054-14 Page 6 Conclusion 18. The proposed fee increases for planning applications will still remain the lowest in the Durham Lakeshore Municipalities in most instances. While the Municipality may charge for the anticipated costs of processing planning applications, cost recovery will be less than 50% of staff costs. Some fees are reduced to encourage compliance, others are reduced as an economic development incentive. Taxpayers pay the costs not recovered.

L1 C 3A6 Dear Mayor Adrian Foster and Members of Council, RE: PROPOSED APPLICATION FEES FOR CLARINGTON Durham Region Home Builders' Association(DRHBA)has been active in Durham for 61 years, we are the only home builder association based in this region. As an association DRHBA has been very active in Clarington, as evinced this past year and a half as we diligently participated in and provided a good deal of press for the Priority Green Clarington initiative (please see attached Toronto Sun article). It is three of our builders that agreed to take part in the initiative,Halminen Homes,Jeffery Homes and Brookfield Residential. We also provided a speaker for the Priority Green Clarington symposium, the speaker was Kelvin Whalen who works for another one of our builders Kaitlin Corporation. Over the years.DRHBA has made submissions to council, and we have had countless meetings with staff, councilors and mayors. Therefore, as partners in this wonderful community of Clarington,we believe that ours should be the primary voice that Clarington council listens to in regards to building and development in Clarington and the first to be contacted for feedback. DRHBA was told about the new planning fee proposals on August 21 through a third party, we contacted the Municipality immediately to initiate discussions. Staff was more than willing to Durham Region Home Builders'Association meet with us and we subsequently had some good discussions regarding the increases. At first when we assessed the increases,which range from 0 to 88%,with a mode increase of 13%and an average increase of 7%, we could not understand why the increases were so vast,however staff reconsidered some of their figures and they explained why the increases were necessary which, from a.business point of view we can understand. Therefore we will not dispute staffs proposed increases. However, from a business point of view,builders and developers need time to change their calculations in regards to the cost of projects. This is no easy task since there are over 60 price changes in Clarington's proposed planning fees. Our developers and builders will need to factor in these new numbers, once they are enacted,when assessing the viability of a project. There are numerous steps in the land development process (please see the attached chart) all of these steps take time and money. A project can be in the making for years before a shovel is thrust into the ground. Therefore it is rational and fair to give our developers time to incorporate these changes. Staff's proposal to implement the new fees on November 1, will only give developers and builders 32 days to adjust their figures. This is not nearly enough time as builders may already be in the midst of projects and then experience a sudden and unexpected increase in fees. A fairer timeline would be an implementation date of January 1, 2015. Our goal is to work cooperatively with Clarington to ensure a harmonious relationship that effectively combines to build a beautiful and functional municipality. If you have any questions or comments regarding this reasonable request,please contact the DRHBA office. Respectfully, o Anita DeVries,Hon. BA DRHBA Executive Officer Durham Region Home Builders'Association
