2.1. | Planning and Building Services, Planning Services Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 2013-283 - Housekeeping Amendment and associated Official Plan Amendment and Sign By-law Amendment |
Councillors Siscoe and Sorrento were not present at the start of the public meeting, therefore, did not participate nor vote.
Council held a public meeting respecting proposed changes to Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 2013-283 regarding housekeeping amendments and the associated Official Plan amendment and Sign By-law amendment.
Bruce Bellows, Policy Planner, presented an overview of the proposed amendments.
The Mayor asked if anyone in attendance wished to speak in opposition to the proposal. Ron Vahrmeyer and Leo Di Fabio addressed Council in this regard. Their comments were as follows:
• concerned with passage of amendment to By-law 2013-283, Section 2.15.1
• purchased properties specifically with purpose of developing them as permitted by Section 2.15.1 in the current by-law
• have expended significant money into these properties and passing of Section 31 of the housekeeping by-law would result in a substantial loss through the inability to develop the properties acquired as currently permitted by Section 2.15.1
• request defer passage of Section 31 of the draft by-law for a period of three years or include a transition clause that states will have minimum of three years to develop the properties owned or have acquired in anticipation of their development pursuant to that section
• initially 18 month grandfathering timeline (deadline of December 31, 2017) appeared sufficient, but realize some timelines are beyond the developers control, and therefore, 18 months is not sufficient
• concerned with the public notification process to make people aware of the by-law changes for those people who purchased property under existing parameters of the by-law that they were led to believe they were purchasing at
The speakers answered Council's questions.
The Mayor asked if anyone wished to speak in support of the application. No one came forward to speak.
The Mayor asked if the Director of Planning and Building Services, Jim Riddell, had any summary comments.
The Director stated the following:
• property owners concerned with timeline and request grandfathering for Section 31 of the proposed by-law
• staff recommendation proposes going to December 31, 2017, but presenters believe a longer time period would be appropriate
• staff is supportive of a transition clause and have provided some wording in support of an amendment to the staff recommendation
• transition clauses within the Zoning By-law offer up to three years
• clarified that this is the public meeting and public notification under the Planning Act was provided
The Director answered Council's questions.
City Council reconvened.
Seconded By: Councillor Elliott
THAT the Zoning By-law Housekeeping Amendment be revised to add a new provision (Section 2.15.1.1) to the Zoning By-law, as follows:

THAT Council considers the revision to the Zoning By-law Housekeeping Amendment to be minor and that no further public notice is required; and
That the City Solicitor be directed to prepare the necessary by-laws; and
That the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute the necessary By-law to give effect to Council’s decision; and
That the Notice of Decision required by the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13, as amended, be processed by staff; and
