    That, the following actions be taken with respect to the 8th Report of the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee, from its meeting held on August 28, 2019:

    a)     the following actions be taken with respect to the draft Tree Protection By-law:

    i)      that the Civic Administration BE ADVISED of the following comments from the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee with respect to the draft Tree Protection By-law:

    -concern the by-law is about how to remove a tree, rather than how to protect and plant more trees;
    -focus on trees and future trees, without legal or political barriers;
    -need to consider tree protection at a generational scale, not human scale in context of climate change, wildlife (cavity trees) and the environment;
    -must protect young trees or replacement trees outside of the Tree Protection Area for future canopy;
    -diameter threshold of 50 cm or greater is above attainable size for many species and does not reflect what other municipalities are doing in their by-laws (for example Toronto 12" or 30 cm);
    -consensus across community that size threshold needs to be lower, acknowledging there may be budget implications and a business case may need to be put forward;
    -need to define "hazardous" tree and evidence for removal;
    -trees can be made hazardous by unnatural causes for example building an addition;
    -photo should be part of application to remove tree;
    -checklist of Arborist best practices to justify tree removal;
    -education program may be less expensive than enforcing the by-law. For example, planting a replacement tree before the original tree is removed (shadow planting);
    -cemeteries and golf courses should not be exempt from the by-law, and there should be a policy to require City of London golf courses to follow the spirit of the by-law;
    -fines must always be higher than the total cost of fees that would have been required, or it will not work;
    -provisions for on-line payments should be considered;
    -tree protection required by section 9.3 of the by-law should match other specific policies;
    -no need for section 7.3 of the by-law because no fee is taken until application determined;
    -inconsistency in Part 2-Definitions with regards to "meter" and "m";
    -leave snags on trees for housing of wildlife (for example birds of prey);

    ii)     that delegation status BE REQUESTED by the Chair or designate of the Trees and Forests Advisory Committee at the Planning and Environment Committee on September 9, 2019;

    b)      clauses 1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 5.1, 5.3 and 5.4 BE RECEIVED for information;

    it being noted that the Planning and Environment Committee received the attached presentation from A. Cantell, Vice-Chair, Trees and Forests Advisory Committee, with respect to the above-noted matters.

    Motion Passed
  • Motion made by:A. Hopkins

    That, on the recommendation of the Director, Development Services, with respect to the application by McKenzie Lake Lawyers LLP c/o Patrick Clancy, relating to the property located at 324 York Street, the request to amend Zoning By-law No. Z.-1 to change the zoning of the subject property by extending the Temporary Use (T-71) for a period of three (3) years, BE REFUSED for the following reasons:

    i)      the request is not consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, 2014;

    ii)     the request does not conform to the specific policies of the 1989 Official Plan or The London Plan regarding temporary commercial parking lots;

    iii)     the request does not implement the goals of Our Move Forward: London’s Downtown Plan; and,

    iv)     the request does not implement the recommendations of the Downtown Parking Strategy;

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

    it being further noted that the Municipal Council refuses this application for the following reason:

    •       the request to extend the temporary zone for a period of three (3) years, representing the maximum extension permitted, does not encourage the long-term redevelopment of the site. A six (6) month extension has already been granted to allow existing users of the commercial parking lot to search for alternative parking arrangements. The refusal of a three (3) year extension would further encourage the long-term redevelopment of the site to a more intense, transit-supportive use that is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and is in conformity with the 1989 Official Plan and The London Plan.

    •      the recommended Zoning By-law amendment allows development that is consistent with the land use concepts and guidelines in the Kilally North Area Plan, which encourage medium density housing forms that are designed without the need for noise attenuation walls in this location and recognizes transition with existing residential development;
    •      the proposed use for the subject lands contributes to the range and mix of housing options in the area. The proposed use represents an efficient development and use of land; and,
    •      the subject lands are of a size and shape suitable to accommodate the proposal.
