·                    the recommended amendment is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 which requires planning authorities to facilitate pedestrian and non-motorized movement by promoting a land use pattern, density and a mix of uses that serve to minimize the length and number of vehicle trips and support the development of viable choices and plans for public transit and other alternative transportation modes;

·                     the recommended amendment supports the objectives of the Downtown Area designation of the City of London Official Plan which encourages growth in the residential population of the downtown through high density residential development and design features which serve to enhance the pedestrian environment; 

·                     the recommended amendment will allow for the proposed development including the required increase to density, through a bonus zone which requires that the ultimate form of development be consistent with the site plan and elevations appended to the amending by-law. Should the applicant not satisfy all of the provisions of the bonus zone, the increased density will not be permitted;

·                     the recommended amendment will facilitate an enhanced form of development which includes an architecturally defined base, middle and top with the base serving to frame the pedestrian realm at a human-scale, the middle to provide for step-backs and variation in the massing of the proposed structure to reduce the visual impact of the tower and provide for effective integration with the surrounding built context of the downtown, and a visually attractive cap on the tower which screens all mechanical elements and enhances the City skyline; 

·                     the recommended bonus zone provides for a density of 1,498 units per hectare in return for a series of design related matters and contributions in accordance with Section 19.4.4 of the Official Plan; and,

·                     the recommended amendment maintains the spirit and intent of the Downtown Heritage Conservation District and other relevant Council approved Guideline Documents which provide direction for development in the Downtown.  (2017-D09)

Group Home Type 1 Uses with Regards to Distance Separation Regulations of the Zoning By-law (Z-8779) (Relates to Bill No. 362)

 

That, on the recommendation of the Manager, Development Planning, the following actions be taken with respect to the Zoning By-law for Group Home Type 1 uses and the use of separation distance regulations within the by-law to regulate the location of Group Home Type 1 uses:

 

a)            the proposed by-law appended to the staff report dated July 31, 2017 as APPENDIX “A” BE INTRODUCED at Municipal Council meeting to be held on August 22, 2017 to amend the Zoning By-law No Z-1, (in conformity with the Official Plan), TO amend Section 4.8 Group Homes, General Provisions of Zoning By-law No. Z-1 by removing regulations related to a 250 metre (820 feet) separation distance for Group Home Type 1 uses; and,

 

b)         the Civic Administration BE DIRECTED to initiate a review of Group Home Policies and Regulations and seek further public input in refining regulations and definitions for Group Homes and Supervised Care Facilities in the City, as well as any other necessary definition and policy changes; it being noted that these changes would implement action and requests from community agencies supporting peoples with developmental disabilities as well as implement direction in the Council adopted London Plan;

 

it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee reviewed and received the following communications with respect to this matter:

 

·                     a communication from C. Butler, 863 Waterloo Street; and,

·                     a communication dated July 25, 2017 from A. Watt, Community Living London;

 

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

 

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

 

·                    Group Home Type 1 uses provide accommodation, primarily to persons with developmental disabilities so that they can live inclusive and viable lives within all of London’s neighbourhoods.  Existing regulations that place separation distance requirements for Group Home Type 1 uses have created adverse effects to the establishment and operation of these uses;

·                    in considering the recent experiences and actions of several Ontario Municipalities in relation to group home uses and zoning regulations imposing separation distance for these uses, Council should consider amendments to the City’s approach for regulating these uses. There is no standard or land use planning evidence that supports a need for a 250 metre (820 feet) separation distance between Group Home Type 1 uses. Removing separation distance requirements for group home type 1 uses should not create any negative impacts or nuisances. Group homes are required to be located in a dwelling unit that is no different than any other house in a neighbourhood. Most residents of a Group Home Type 1 use do not drive so parking and traffic should not be an issue. Form and density are also not likely to generate any impacts as occupancy is still controlled and must occur within a single detached, semi, duplex or triplex dwelling;

·                    the recommended amendment and direction for further review and amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014 (2014 PPS), which emphasizes the need to plan communities in a manner that supports persons with disabilities (PPS1.1.1(f)), 1.4.3);

·                    the recommended amendment and direction for further review and amendments are consistent with the policies of the Official Plan by encouraging the inclusion of group homes in all residential designations. Recognizing the distinction between the two types of Group Homes permitted in the Zoning By-law, the intent of the Official Plan is maintained by retaining regulations that prevent the concentration of Group Home Type 2 uses. Amendments relating to separation distance provisions within the Official Plan will be considered as part of the ongoing review of Group Homes and Supervised Residences policies and regulations in the City of London;

·                    the recommended amendment and direction for further review and amendments are consistent with, and will serve to implement, the policies of the London Plan;

·                    the recommended amendment and direction for further review and amendments will protect the City of London from potential challenges brought forward through The Ontario Human Rights Code, which provides for rights and opportunities for all people without discrimination on a number of grounds, including disability;

·                    the recommended amendment and direction for further review and amendments will protect the City of London from potential challenges brought forward through Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees equal treatment before and under the law and equal benefit of the law without discrimination based on various grounds, including mental and physical disabilities. All laws must be consistent with the Charter to be held in force and effect; and,

·                    the recommended amendments and direction for further review and amendments are consistent with the general intent of Zoning By-law No. Z-1, which provides regulations for all forms of Group Homes, Supervised Residences and land uses. Zoning By-law regulations and Official Plan policies relating to separation distances shall be maintained for Group Home Type 2 uses, pending any future review by Civic Administration.    (2017-D09)

That the following actions be taken with respect to Council compensation:

 

a)         effective with the commencement of the next term of Council, the annual compensation for serving as a Ward Councillor BE SET at the 2016 median full time employment income for Londoners; it being noted that while 2016 data will not be available until the Fall of 2017, based upon the 2011 National Household Survey data, about 35% of Londoners ages 15 years and over worked full year, full time with employment income in 2010 and had a median employment income of $47,805 and an average employment income of $57,112;

 

b)         NO ACTION BE TAKEN at this time with respect to the provision of additional compensation for the role of Deputy Mayor; it being noted that the level of compensation for this role should be reassessed once the role is more clearly defined and is not reliant on the discretion of each mayor;

 

c)         NO ACTION BE TAKEN with respect to the provision of additional compensation for Ward Councillors serving as the Chair of a Standing Committee and all Council Members BE ENCOURAGED to serve as Chair throughout the course of their term of office;

 

d)         the current formula for adjusting Council compensation on annual basis BE CONTINUED;

f)          a review of Council Compensation BE UNDERTAKEN by an independent body, once per Council term, subject to the following:

 

i)          the review should be completed no later than twelve months in advance of the date that nominations are accepted for the next municipal election;

ii)         any adjustments should be effective on the first day of the next Council term;

iii)         the Task Force should, as much as possible, reflect the diversity of the community and ideally the participants should have knowledge in the areas of municipal government, research, statistics, public engagement and compensation;

iv)        the Task Force should be limited to no more than five individuals;

v)         the review should include a review of the major supports required for Council Members to efficiently and effectively carry out their role to the best of their ability as the availability of these supports helps to inform compensation;

vi)        the review should consider if median full time income remains an appropriate benchmark for Council Member compensation;

vii)       the review should consider if the current formula for interim adjustments remains appropriate; and

viii)       public engagement should continue to be a component of the review process and that engagement should be undertaken in a manner which recognizes community preferences and needs;

 

g)         the Municipal Council BE REQUESTED to consider how it can better educate the public with respect to the legislative and non-legislative roles of Council Members;

 

h)         the Municipal Council BE REQUESTED to establish and make publicly available a reasonable timeframe for an initial response to an enquiry made by a constituent to a Council Member so that service standards are available to the public, recognizing that staff support should be utilized in a manner that expedites the response process as much as possible;

 

i)          opportunities BE EXPLORED to determine what support services might be needed in order to ensure that the right conditions are set for a Council Member to perform their policy and constituency duties to the highest level of their ability;

 

j)          when a review of the adequacy of staff resources is undertaken, that review BE DONE in conjunction with a review of Council Members’ annual expense allocation;

 

k)         NO ACTION BE TAKEN with respect to the consideration of a system of performance-based compensation for Council Members; and

 

l)          the Mayor BE REQUESTED to send a letter to each of the members of the 2016 Council Compensation Review Task Force to thank them, on behalf of the Municipal Council, for the time and effort they put into fulfilling the Task Force’s mandate;

 

it being noted that the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee received a verbal overview of the Final Report of the 2016 Council Compensation Task Force from D. Ross, Task Force Chair.
