    Motion Passed
  • Motion made by:P. Squire

    That the following actions be taken with respect to the 6th Report of the Environmental and Ecological Planning Advisory Committee (EEPAC), from its meeting held on August 19, 2021:

    a)  the following Climate Emergency Action Plan Working Group recommendations BE FORWARDED to the Civic Administration to report back at a future Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meeting:

    i)    a special advisory committee should be created to actively participate in the Climate Emergency Action Plan development and implementation. The committee should consist of representation from the City’s Climate Emergency Action Plan team, representatives from advisory committees including EEPAC, First Nations and politicians.

    The committee structure will facilitate continuous, long-term consultation with key stakeholders and involvement of expertise available to the City through its advisory committees;

    ii)    the impacts of climate change to the Natural Heritage System should be prioritized and considered holistically, not as an add-on to anthropocentric objectives; plans to protect and enhance the Natural Heritage System under climate change conditions should be explicitly included in the Climate Emergency Action Plan;

    iii)    the Natural Heritage System should be fully harnessed as part of the City’s approach to climate change mitigation, such as the sequestration of carbon by existing green spaces including wetlands, prairies, meadows, forests and mature woodlots, etc. (not only via tree plantings), management of stormwater under extreme weather events and vegetative cover to provide evapotranspiration, reduced temperatures and reductions in runoff and flooding;

    iv)    to recognize the potential utility of the Natural Heritage System for climate change mitigation, we must better understand current baseline conditions. To begin, EEPAC recommends that the City assemble and present existing baseline data to EEPAC to support the quantification of carbon sequestration by the Natural Heritage System, as well as inventory of the amounts and quality of wetlands, woodlots and other natural lands currently remaining within the City of London. Only with baseline data can an effective and successful Climate Emergency Action Plan with specific targets and accountability be achieved. Using this baseline data, the impacts of climate change on the Natural Heritage System should be modeled under various warming scenarios (e.g., using Global Circulation Models). Further, models could be used to predict the extent to which local climate change effects can be mitigated by Natural Heritage features (e.g., quantifying carbon sequestration and stormwater absorption by green spaces);

    v)    a framework should be developed to systematically monitor the impacts of climate change on the Natural Heritage System over time, with checkpoints to assess whether the City is on track to meet its climate targets and determine if further measures are warranted; and,

    vi)    the role of EEPAC in the further development and implementation of the Climate Emergency Action Plan should be clarified. EEPAC wishes to remain involved in consulting with and supporting the City on the implications of the Climate Emergency;

    b)  clauses 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1 to 5.3, inclusive, BE RECEIVED for information;

    it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee heard a verbal delegation from S. Levin, Chair, EEPAC, relating to these matters.

    That, on the recommendation of the Director, Planning and Development, with respect to the application by Amiraco Properties Inc., relating to the property located at 496 Dundas Street, the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated August 30, 20201 as Appendix "A" BE INTRODUCED at the Municipal Council meeting to be held on September 14, 2021, to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), to change the zoning of the subject lands FROM an Office Residential/Business District Commercial (OR*D250*H46/BDC) Zone TO a Business District Commercial Special Provision (BDC(_)*D530*H57) Zone; 

    it being pointed out that at the public participation meeting associated with these matters, the individuals indicated on the attached public participation meeting record made oral submissions regarding these matters;

    it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee reviewed and received a staff presentation with respect to this matter;

    it being further noted that the Municipal Council approves this application for the following reasons:

    •    the recommended amendment to Zoning By-law Z.-1 is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) which encourages the following: promoting efficient development and land use patterns; accommodating an appropriate affordable and market-based range and mix of residential types; promoting the vitality and regeneration of settlement areas; supporting transit-supportive development and active transportation; promoting energy efficiency and minimizing negative impacts to air quality and climate change; promoting intensification, redevelopment and compact form, while avoiding or mitigating risks to public health and safety; and, conserving built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes;
    •    the recommended amendment to Zoning By-law Z.-1 conforms to the Main Street Commercial Corridor policies of the 1989 Official Plan;
    the recommended amendment to Zoning By-law Z.-1 conforms to the in-force policies of the London Plan, including but not limited to the Key Directions and the Urban Corridor Place Type policies;
    •    the recommended amendment to Zoning By-law Z.-1 supports the in-force policies of the City Design polices of the London Plan as the project design aligns with the intent of character, streetscape, public space, site layout and building form policies of the Plan;
    •    the recommended amendment to Zoning By-law Z.-1 conforms with the policy direction and site-specific permissions in the Old East Village Dundas Street Corridor Secondary Plan; and,
    •    the subject lands are well-suited for the proposed mixed-use development, given its size, location within a commercial corridor, and its proximity to arterial roads, public transit, active transportation routes and community amenities. Overall, the proposed development would support diversification, intensification and the vitality of the Dundas Street corridor.  (2021-D09)
