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

     

    •               the recommended action is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to The London Plan and the 1989 Official Plan.  The recommended action has been modified from the requested amendment by adding regulations that require the recommended offices and medical/dental offices to be associated with an accessory clinic. These regulations are required to conform to The London Plan policies for supervised consumption facilities which are permitted in all Place Types.  The requirement that the clinic is accessory to the office and/or medical/dental office use is also required to ensure conformity with the 1989 Official Plan Office/Residential designation that applies to the subject site, which permits clinics but requires that these clinics are accessory to another use permitted in this designation. Further, the modifications made to the requested action are consistent with the provincial guidelines for the provision of supervised consumption facilities which focus on providing integrated, wrap-around services that connect clients who use drugs to primary care, treatment, and other health and social services. The recommended Zoning By-law also provides wording that the recommended uses are intended for the provision of a supervised consumption facility. While this is currently not a defined term, it provides clarification about what is intended for the facility; and,

    •               minimum areas for the intake and waiting area and post-consumption area are also proposed to be secured in the Zoning By-law. Official Plan Amendment 679 to The London Plan requires that these minimum areas be secured in the Zoning By-law. The areas secured are generally consistent with those outlined in the applicant’s Planning Rationale and provincial guidelines. These minimum areas are intended to ensure that individuals are not queuing outside of the facility while waiting to use the services within the clinic, and also to ensure adequate space for those who have consumed substances to remain in the facility after consuming.    (2018-D09)
