Application Review 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) The 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, where a municipality is exercising its authority affecting a planning matter, such decisions “shall be consistent with” all policy statements issued under the Act. Section 1.1.1 of the PPS states that healthy, liveable, and safe communities are sustained by promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term and cost-effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs. Section 1.1.3.1 directs that settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development, and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. Further, Section 1.1.3.2 states that land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on: • densities and a mix of land uses which are appropriate for and efficiently use existing infrastructure and public service facilities (available and planned); • support for active transportation; • efficiently using land and resources; and, Page 36 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-351 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 3 of 6 • support for a range of uses and opportunities for intensification and redevelopment in accordance with the criteria outlined in policy 1.1.3.3. Section 1.1.3.4 directs that appropriate development standards shall be promoted which facilitate intensification, redevelopment, and compact form, while avoiding or mitigating risks to public health and safety. Further, Section 1.4 – Housing - and specifically section 1.4.3, states that planning authorities shall provide for an appropriate mix of housing options and densities to meet projected needs of current and future residents of the regional market area by: • establishing and implementing minimum targets for the provision of housing which is affordable to low and moderate income households; • permitting and facilitating all forms of residential intensification and redevelopment and all forms of housing required to meet the social, health and well-being requirements of current and future residents, including special needs requirements; • directing the development of new housing towards locations where appropriate levels of infrastructure and public service facilities are or will be available to support current and projected needs; • promoting densities for new housing which efficiently uses land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities, and support the use of active transportation and transit areas where it exists or is to be developed; and, • establishing development standards for residential intensification, redevelopment and new residential development which minimize the cost of housing and facilitate compact form while maintaining appropriate levels of public health and safety. Official Plan The subject property is designated ‘Low Density Residential’ as per Schedule T-2, Residential Density Plan for the Town of Tillsonburg, as contained in the Official Plan. Low density residential areas are primarily developed or planned for a variety of low-rise, low density housing forms including both executive and smaller single-detached dwellings, semi-detached, duplex and converted dwellings, townhouses, and other similar development. Within these areas, it is intended that there will be a mixing and integration of different forms of housing to achieve a low overall density of use. The policies in Section 8.2.1 of the Official Plan - Housing Development and Residential Areas – Strategic Approach - identify several strategies “to provide present and future residents of Tillsonburg with a choice of adequate and affordable housing which meets their needs”. Specific strategies developed to support achievement of these goals include: • Accommodating the present and future demand for housing in Tillsonburg through the efficient use of vacant residentially designated lands, underutilized parcels in built-up areas and existing housing stock in all neighbourhoods, with the objective of also reducing energy consumption, decreasing the financial burden of underutilized municipal services, and relieving pressure for development of natural areas and open spaces; • Facilitating a choice of housing type, tenure, cost, and location that meets the changing needs of all types of households by providing for a variety and mix of housing throughout the Town; • Increasing the supply of affordable housing by integrating adequate housing for low and moderate-income households and those with special needs throughout the Town and establish and monitor minimum affordable housing targets to ensure that the percentage of affordable housing is maintained or enhanced; Page 37 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-351 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 4 of 6 • Promoting and facilitating the provision of affordable housing through the co-operative efforts of all levels of government, the private sector and volunteer interest groups through such means as technical assistance, land conveyances, joint ventures, regulatory measures, and incentives. The policies in Section 8.2.2.5 – Residential Intensification and Redevelopment - promote residential intensification in appropriate locations to make more efficient use of existing land, infrastructure, and public services. Residential intensification is permitted in appropriate locations within the Residential and Central Areas of the Town, subject to complying with the policies of the associated land use designations pertaining to the density, form and scale of residential development being proposed. On November 22, 2023, County of Oxford Council adopted policies (previously endorsed by Town Council) to allow for the development of Additional Residential Units in areas characterized by low density residential development within the Town of Tillsonburg in accordance with Provincial direction (OPA 311). Specifically, the policies of Section 8.2.4, Low Density Residential Districts, and Section 8.3.2.3.2, Entrepreneurial District, were amended to provide for the establishment of ARUs as a permitted use ‘as of right’ in the Town’s Zoning By-law. Key elements of the ARU policies in Section 8.2.4 include: • Establishing a definition for additional residential units; • Requiring that the Town’s Zoning By-law establish specific zoning provisions that must be met to allow ARUs to be established on a lot; • Establishing that ARUs are allowed in single detached, semi-detached and townhouse dwellings in the R1, R1A, R2 and R3 and EC Zones where the Town is satisfied that various development review criteria can be met, including a maximum of two ARUs per lot (i.e. one in the principal dwelling and/or one in an ancillary dwelling); • ARUs are clearly secondary and subordinate to the principal dwelling and limited in size to maintain affordability and minimize potential impacts on infrastructure and public service facilities; • the principal dwelling must have direct, individual vehicular access to a public street; • dwellings and lots are large enough to accommodate the ARU and provide for adequate parking, landscaping, and outdoor amenity areas; • the existing infrastructure and public service facilities servicing the area are adequate to accommodate the establishment of ARUs; • ARUs are not permitted where a lot or dwelling already contains other accessory units/uses (e.g. boarding/lodging house, garden suite, converted dwelling unit, bed and breakfast); and, • potential impacts on environmental and/or heritage resources and any environmental constraints (e.g. natural or man-made hazards, noise, vibration, emissions, etc.) can be adequately addressed. • An ARU cannot be severed from the lot containing the principal dwelling; and, • The Town may consider the use of other supplementary tools and measures to assist in ensuring ARUs are appropriately regulated, including registration and/or licensing, on-street parking regulations, new/updated property standards by-laws, etc. Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law No. 3295 The subject property is currently zoned ‘Low Density Residential Type 1 Zone (R1) according to the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law. Permitted uses within the R1 zone include a group home, a home occupation, a public use, and single detached dwellings. Page 38 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-351 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 5 of 6 The general amendment to facilitate the development of Additional Residential Units in single detached, semi-detached, and townhouse dwellings, and in a structure ancillary to such dwellings in areas characterized by low density residential development, was considered by Town Council on October 23, 2023 and approved ‘in-principle’ pending the adoption of the aforementioned OPA 311 by County Council. The Zoning By-law amendment implementing OPA 311 is on the December 11, 2023 Town Council agenda for approval. Based on the information provided by the applicant, including the sketch attached to this report as Plate 3, the subject property appears to meet the relevant provisions of the R1 zone and the provisions for ARUs as contained in the above-noted Zoning By-law amendment, related to parking, lot area, lot frontage, lot depth, yard setbacks, lot coverage, and landscaped open space. Agency Comments The application was circulated to various public agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. No concerns were expressed with the proposed development. The Tillsonburg Building Services Department indicated that a building permit must be obtained, and any required compensating construction to legally establish the additional unit must be completed. County of Oxford Public Works, Tillsonburg Economic Development & Marketing, Tillsonburg Engineering Services, and Tillsonburg Hydro indicated that they have no concerns or comments regarding the proposal. Public Consultation Notice of the complete application regarding this proposal was provided to the public and surrounding property owners on November 1, 2023, and notice of the public meeting was issued on November 27, 2023, in accordance with the requirements of the Planning Act. At the time of writing this report, staff had not received any comments regarding the application. Planning Analysis It is the opinion of this Office that the proposal to establish an Additional Residential Unit (ARU) in an existing residential dwelling on the subject lands is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and can therefore be supported from a planning perspective. The proposal is consistent with the PPS direction to provide for an appropriate diversity of housing types and densities to meet the needs of current and future residents. The proposal is also consistent with the Official Plan, specifically the recently adopted OPA 311, which facilitates the development of ARUs in Low Density Residential Areas in the Town of Tillsonburg. This additional residential unit will provide an additional housing option for current and/or future residents of the Town and represents an efficient use of existing municipal infrastructure. The proposal is not anticipated to impact the surrounding neighbourhood as the Applicant is not proposing to change the footprint or height of the existing dwelling, the lot meets relevant zoning provisions as per Section 6.2, and the subject property provides sufficient space for the required parking spaces. Page 39 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-351 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 6 of 6 The Applicant is proposing to allow an additional residential unit of approximately 109.45 m2 (1,178 ft2) in the basement level of the existing single detached dwelling to recognize an existing unit that was established without the benefit if a building permit. It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposal complies with the general amendment regarding ARUs that is proposed to be approved by Town Council on December 11, 2023. In order to avoid potential administrative issues associated with approving a site-specific amending zoning by-law for a use that will be permitted by the noted general amendment, staff recommend that this application be deferred pending approval of the general amendment on December 11th, after which time, a site-specific amendment will not be required. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg defer the application submitted by Damien Cooper, whereby an additional residential unit comprising a floor area of approximately 109.45 m2 (1,178 ft2) will be allowed in the basement of the existing dwelling on lands described as Lot 26 Plan M42, Town of Tillsonburg, known municipally as 36 Centennial Avenue, pending the approval of the general amendment to the Town’s Zoning By-law implementing provisions regarding Additional Residential Units.

Section 1.1.3.2 states that land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses which efficiently use land, resources, existing infrastructure, and public service facilities. A range of uses and opportunities for intensification and redevelopment should also be promoted where it can be accommodated in settlement areas. Section 1.1.3.4 directs that appropriate development standards shall be promoted which facilitate intensification, redevelopment, and compact form, while avoiding or mitigating risks to public health and safety. Section 1.4, Housing, and specifically Subsection 1.4.3, states that planning authorities shall provide for an appropriate range and mix of housing types and densities to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area by: • Establishing and implementing minimum targets for the provision of housing which is affordable to low and moderate income households; • Permitting and facilitating all forms of housing required to meet the social, health and well-being requirements of current and future residents; Page 47 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-385 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Meeting: December 11, 2023 Page 4 of 10 • Permitting and facilitating all types of residential intensification, including additional residential units and redevelopment, in accordance with policy 1.3.3.3; • Directing the development of new housing towards locations where appropriate levels of infrastructure and public service facilities are or will be available to support current and projected needs; • Promoting densities for new housing which efficiently use land, resources, infrastructure, and public service facilities, and support the use of active transportation and transit in areas where it exists or is to be developed; and, • Establishing development standards for residential intensification, redevelopment and new residential development which minimize the cost of housing and facilitate compact form, while maintaining appropriate levels of public health and safety. OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject lands are located within the ‘Low Density Residential’ designation according to the Town of Tillsonburg Residential Density Plan, as contained in the Official Plan. Low Density Residential Districts are those lands that are primarily developed or planned for a variety of low-rise, low density housing forms including both executive and smaller single detached dwellings, semi-detached, duplex, and converted dwellings, street-fronting townhouses, and other similar forms of development. Within these areas, it is intended that there will be a mixing and integration of different forms of housing to achieve a low overall density of use. The policies in Section 8.2.2.5, Residential Intensification and Redevelopment, promote residential intensification in appropriate locations to make more efficient use of existing land, infrastructure, and public services. Specifically, a minimum target of 15 percent of all new residential dwelling units are to be developed through residential intensification within built-up areas of the Town. Residential intensification and compact urban form are permitted in appropriate locations within the Residential and Central Areas of the Town, subject to complying with the policies of the associated land use designations pertaining to the density, form, and scale of residential development being proposed. Intensification shall be facilitated through appropriate zoning standards, and Town Council may consider the use of reduced municipal infrastructure requirements and lot standards on a site or area specific basis, provided that such standards are still in keeping with the overall objectives of the Official Plan. The policies of Section 8.2.4.1, Infill Housing, apply to this proposal. Infill housing is defined as the placement of new residential development into established built-up areas on vacant or underutilized sites. To efficiently utilize the residentially designated land supply and municipal servicing infrastructure, infill housing will be supported in Low Density Residential Districts. The introduction of new residential housing into an established streetscape pattern will only be permitted if the proposal is deemed to be consistent with the characteristics of existing development on both sides of the same street. In order that street-oriented infill projects are sensitive to the continuity of the existing residential streetscape, the County Land Division Committee and Town Council will ensure that the proposal is consistent with the street frontage, setbacks, lot area, and, spacing of existing development within a two-block area on the same street. Page 48 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-385 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Meeting: December 11, 2023 Page 5 of 10 In addition to the specific infill policies identified, the following will be considered for all infill proposals: • the location of vehicular access points, the effect of traffic generated by the proposal on the public road system, pedestrian and vehicular safety and surrounding properties is assessed and found to be acceptable; • existing municipal services and community facilities will be adequate to accommodate the proposed infill project; • stormwater run-off from the proposal will be adequately controlled and will not negatively affect adjacent properties; • the extent to which the proposed development provides for the retention of any desirable vegetation or natural features that contribute to the visual character of the surrounding area; • the effect of proposed development on environmental resources or the effects of environmental constraints on the proposed development will be addressed and mitigated in accordance with Section 3.2; • compliance of the proposed development with the provisions of the Zoning By-Law of the Town and other municipal by-laws; and, • consideration of the potential effect of the development on natural and heritage resources and their settings. TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW: The subject lands are currently zoned ‘Low Density Residential – Type 1 Zone (R1)’ in the Town’s Zoning By-law. Permitted uses in the ‘R1’ zone include a group home, a home occupation, a public use, and a single detached dwelling. The minimum lot depth provisions of the By-Law are intended to ensure that lots are sufficiently large enough to provide an adequately sized building envelope, and that adequate area is provided for parking, landscaping, drainage, and private amenity space. The minimum rear yard depth provisions of the By-law are intended to ensure that enough space is provided to maintain suitable setbacks to provide access to yards and provide sufficient area to conduct property maintenance and for private amenity space for the occupants of the dwelling, and to ensure that there is sufficient area to accommodate any required drainage swales or easements and maintain privacy for adjacent residential properties. In this case, the whole of the subject lands fronts on Lisgar Avenue (for the purposes of the Town’s Zoning By-law). Severing the lot results in both the lot to be severed and the lot to be retained having frontage on Delevan Crescent. With respect to the relief from the rear yard depth provision proposed for the lot to be retained, as the frontage of the said lot will be defined as that frontage along Delevan Crescent, the rear lot line becomes the southerly lot line; and the rear yard depth is the distance measured between the dwelling and the ‘new’ rear lot line. The physical distance between the dwelling and the newly established rear lot line will not change.

The Owner must agree in writing to satisfy the requirements of Canada Post and provide the Town with written confirmation from Canada Post that all requirements have been satisfied. Tillsonburg Hydro did not have any concerns. PUBLIC CONSULTATION: Notice of the Application for Consent was provided to the public and surrounding property owners on December 1, 2023. At the time of writing this report, no comments or concerns had been received from the public. Planning Analysis The purpose of the application for consent and minor variance is to create a new infill residential lot for a single detached dwelling with frontage on Delevan Crescent and to retain a lot occupied by an existing single detached dwelling and detached garage. Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) Approving the requested severance will result in the addition of one new residential infill lot in the Town of Tillsonburg, providing the opportunity for intensification within a serviced settlement area. This is consistent with the policies of the PPS in Section 1.1.1 regarding accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential housing to meet long-term needs, and promoting cost-effective development that minimizes land consumption and servicing costs. Staff are of the opinion that the lands to be severed are suitable for residential purposes, and the sizes of the proposed lot to be severed and lot to be retained represent an efficient use of land and municipal infrastructure. In this regard, the proposal is consistent with the policies of the PPS in Section 1.1.3.1 that support Settlement Areas as the focus of growth, the effective use of existing infrastructure, and efficiently using land and resources. Official Plan The Low Density Residential designation is intended to accommodate a mix and integration of different housing types while achieving an overall low density. As the proposed lot to be severed is within an existing settlement area, Planning staff are of the opinion that it provides an opportunity to increase the supply of housing through intensification. The subject lands are located within an area characterized by low density development on a range of lot sizes. The proposed lot to be severed and lot to be retained are in-keeping with many of the existing residential lot sizes in the immediate area including lots on Delevan Crescent, Frank Street, Lisgar Avenue, and Second Street (lot depths, lot areas). Both the lot to be severed and lot to be retained will have frontage on Delevan Crescent and be of sufficient size to provide adequate space for setbacks, required off-street parking, and vehicular ingress and egress. Page 51 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-385 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Meeting: December 11, 2023 Page 8 of 10 Regarding the street-oriented infill policies contained in Section 8.2.4.1.1, staff considered the two-block area along Lisgar Avenue between Concession Street to the south Second Street, and as this is a corner lot and the lot to be severed will be fronting onto Delevan Crescent, staff also considered the two-block area along Delevan Cresent from east of Frank Street to Queen Street. These areas are characterized by single detached dwellings (with some lots also containing detached garages) on a variety of lot sizes and configurations. Staff are of the opinion that the lot to be severed and lot to be retained are compatible with residential lot sizes within the defined area, and both lots will provide adequate lot area to maintain setbacks and building envelopes for the type of development common to this area. As such, it is the opinion of staff that the application conforms to the relevant policies of the Official Plan respecting intensification and infilling. Zoning By-law The R1 Zone requires a minimum lot area of 480 m2 (608 m2 for a corner lot), a minimum frontage of 15 m (19 m for a corner lot), and a minimum lot depth of 32 m (105 ft). Based on the sketch provided by the applicant attached as Plate 3 to this report, the proposed lot to be severed would have an area of 564 m2 (6,076.22 ft2), lot frontage of 21 m (68.89 ft), and lot depth of 26.88 m (88.18 ft). The proposed lot to be retained would have an area of 664.3 m2 (7,150 ft2), lot frontage of 24.71 m (81.06 ft), and lot depth of 26.88 m (88.18 ft). As such, it appears that the lot area and lot frontage provisions of the ‘R1’ zone will be maintained for both the severed and retained lots. The applicant has proposed relief for lot depth for the lot to be severed and the lot to be retained, and rear yard depth for the lot to be retained. Staff are of the opinion that the proposed lot to be severed and proposed lot to be retained would both be of sufficient size to provide adequately sized building envelopes with adequate area for parking, setbacks, landscaping, drainage, and private amenity space. Furthermore, staff are of the opinion that the requested relief is in keeping with lot sizes in the area, as described previously. Staff is also of the opinion that the relief requested for the rear yard of the lot to be retained is reasonable as it will serve to recognize that the location of the existing dwelling relative to the southerly lot line of the parcel, which becomes a rear lot line as a result of this severance proposal. Staff are satisfied that the applicant’s request for relief can be considered minor, desirable, and appropriate. Adequate area for drainage purposes and building maintenance and sufficient access to the rear yard will be maintained, and adequate amenity area will remain for the occupants of the dwellings. The proposal can be considered desirable for the area as the setbacks and lot configurations are in keeping with the existing lot fabric in the immediate area and supported by the residential infill and intensification policies of the Official Plan. In light of the foregoing, it is the opinion of this Office that the Application for Consent and Minor Variance is consistent with policies of the PPS and maintains the intent of the Official Plan respecting efficient use of land and municipal services within a serviced urban area, and by providing infill housing opportunities for the Town of Tillsonburg. As such, Planning staff recommend that the application be given favourable consideration.

The proposal represents Phase I of lands commonly referred to as The Bridges Subdivision. The required development agreements have been executed and the owners have requested that the holding provision on the lands be lifted to allow for the issuance of building permits. Surrounding uses include low density development to the north and west, a golf course to the east and open space lands to the south. Plate 1, Location Map with Existing Zoning, shows the location of the subject property and the existing zoning in the immediate vicinity. Plate 2, 2020 Aerial with Draft Plan of Subdivision, shows the lot layout of the whole of the draft plan of subdivision. Plate 3, Applicant’s Sketch, shows the area from which the Holding provision will be removed, as submitted by the Applicant. Application Review 2020 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT (PPS): Section 1.1.1 of the PPS provides that healthy liveable and safe communities are sustained by promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term; accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential, employment (including industrial, commercial and institutional uses), recreational and open space uses to meet long-term needs; and avoiding development and land use patterns which may cause environmental or public health and safety concerns. Section 1.1.3.1 of the PPS states that Settlement Areas will be the focus of growth, and their vitality and regeneration shall be promoted. Section 1.4 – Housing - directs that planning authorities shall provide for an appropriate range and mix of housing types and densities to meet projected requirements of current and future residents of the regional market area by, among other matters, facilitating all forms of housing to meet social, health and well-being requirements of current and future residents and promoting densities for new housing which efficiently uses land, resources, infrastructure and public service facilities. Page 59 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-398 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 3 of 4 OFFICIAL PLAN: The subject lands are designated ‘Low Density Residential’ according to the Town of Tillsonburg Residential Density Plan. Low Density Residential Areas are those lands that are primarily developed or planned for a variety of low rise, low density housing forms including single detached dwellings, semi-detached, duplex or converted dwellings, quadraplexes, townhouses, and low density cluster development. The policies of Section 8.2 (Town of Tillsonburg Housing Development and Residential Areas) promote the accommodation of present and future demand for housing in Tillsonburg through the efficient use of vacant, residentially designated lands, underutilized parcels in built-up areas, and existing housing stock in all neighbourhoods. TOWN OF TILLSONBURG ZONING BY-LAW: The subject lands are currently zoned ‘Special Low Density Residential – Type 2 Holding Zone (R2-30 (H))’ and ‘Special Low Density Residential – Type 3 Holding Zone (R3-22 (H))’ according to the Town of Tillsonburg Zoning By-law. Once the holding provisions are removed, permitted uses are as follows: • R2-30 Zone: converted dwelling, duplex dwelling, group home, home occupation, public use, semi-detached dwelling, and a single detached dwelling. • R3-22 Zone: converted dwelling containing not more than 4 dwelling units, single detached dwelling, converted dwelling, duplex dwelling, semi detached dwelling; group home, home occupation, public use, multiple unit dwelling, and street fronting townhouse dwelling. The intent of a holding provision is to ensure that all appropriate development agreements are in place, required easements have been provided, and payment for servicing has been received in advance of issuing building permits. Section 36 of the Planning Act governs the use of Holding Provisions. Holding provisions are typically used to ensure that technical or administrative matters are addressed prior to the intended use of a property being permitted to proceed. Removal of holding provisions does not require public notice or circulation of the application, and the only right to appeal lies with the owner/applicant. In this instance, holding provisions were applied to the draft plan of subdivision to ensure that the required agreements were completed, and capacity was assigned to the development prior to the construction of dwelling units. The applicant proposes to remove the holding provision to facilitate Phase I of the development, as described previously in this report. Page 60 of 197 Report No: CP 2023-398 COMMUNITY PLANNING Council Date: December 11, 2023 Page 4 of 4 AGENCY COMMENTS: The application was circulated to various public agencies considered to have an interest in the proposal. The Town Building Services Department and Town Engineering Services Department indicated that they have no concerns with the request to remove the holding provision from the lands. The Oxford County Public Works Department indicated that they have no objection to the request, as there is adequate water and wastewater treatment capacity to service the proposed development. Planning Analysis It is the opinion of this Office that the proposed zoning application is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and maintains the intent and purpose of the Official Plan and can therefore be supported from a planning perspective. Oxford County Public Works Department have confirmed that there is sufficient water and wastewater capacity available to service the proposed development and Town staff have indicated that they have no objection to the removal of the holding provision as the appropriate development agreements have been completed and will be registered on the lands. It is the opinion of Planning staff that the request to remove the holding provisions in Phase I of The Bridges Subdivision to allow for residential development in the form of single detached dwellings and townhouse dwellings is appropriate from a planning perspective and can be given favourable consideration. A copy of the draft amending By-law is attached for Council’s consideration. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Council of the Town of Tillsonburg approve the zone change application submitted by 207774 Ontario Limited, for lands legally described as Part Lot 1594, Plan 500, 41R-10523 in the Town of Tillsonburg, to remove the Holding Provision from lands as identified on Plate 3 of Report No. CP 2023-398.

The Banner Program would not have been so successful without the support of the Town Council and Tillsonburg Hydro.This program will only expand in the coming year. The tulip garden at Veteran's Memorial Walkway came together in a very short time with the assistance of your Parks and Recreation Staff.They not only ordered and picked up the tulip bulbs,but Matt and Brittany guided the grade 4 class from Oxford Reformed Christian Schools during the planting on a cold and wet day.Brittany went above and beyond by completing the planting the following day and ensured they were covered by a layer of soil. The Remembrance Day Ceremony went smoothly thanks to the many departments that assisted with permits,lowering of Town Flags and road closures.Special thanks to Colleen Pepper for live streaming the ceremony on the Town's Website. It has been a pleasure working with your staff throughout the year and we look forward to continuing this relationship In the coming year.

Carried The roll was called to conduct the following Hearing under Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act. Stewart Patterson was absent from the call. Peter Ypma was missed in the call but was present. The Chair gave his opening remarks and reviewed the guidelines and process to be followed for the hearing. Hearing: LPRCA-175/23 (Kolomaya) Leigh-Anne Mauthe introduced the applicant Jake Kolomaya and his agent Nathan Kolomaya, and Julian Stewart, project architect, then proceeded to present the staff hearing report. An application was received to construct a non-habitable accessory structure. The land contains a two-story house, permitted by LPRCA through a hearing process in 2018, is subject to slope stability and erosion related hazards from Lake Erie and is fully regulated under O. Reg. 178/06. Staff recommended refusal to grant a permit for this application for the following reasons: 1. The construction of a structure in the Lake Erie shoreline unstable slope and erosion hazard along Brown Street is contrary to the LPRCA policies for development in the area of the subject lands. These policies have been implemented to reduce or eliminate preventable property damage due to unstable slopes and shoreline erosion. 2. This construction of a structure affects the control of erosion in that it increases the potential for damage from slope instability and erosion. 3. The proposal is not unique; therefore, the granting of an exemption to policy could be seen as setting precedent. Similar applications may have to be permitted as a consequence. Agent, Nathan Kolomaya addressed the board and presented on the permit application. Staff, the agent and the proponent responded to questions from the Board. A-99/23 Moved by T.

THAT report titled CS 23-031 Integrity Commissioner Services be received as information; and B. THAT Council authorize a single-source procurement per Sec. 2B(g) and Sec. 6(b) of Procurement Policy 5-006; and C. THAT the Clerk be directed to secure new Integrity Commissioner services with Robert Swayze as outlined within report CS 23-031 on a four year term; and D. THAT a By-Law be presented for Council’s consideration to appoint a new Integrity Commissioner and authorize the agreement execution. BACKGROUND In 2016, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 68, Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, that received Royal Assent on May 30, 2017. This legislation made amendments to various Acts, including the Municipal Act, 2001, as amended to require municipalities to establish Codes of Conduct for Members of the Council of the municipality and of its Local Boards effective March 1, 2019. Codes of Conduct must contain the following: 1. Gifts, benefits and hospitality; 2. Respectful conduct, including conduct toward officers and employees of the municipality or the local board, as the case may be; 3. Confidential information; and 4. Use of property of the municipality or of the local board, as the case may be. Page 79 of 197 CS 23-031 Page 2 of 5 As part of the process, Municipalities must appoint an Integrity Commissioner who is an independent position that reports directly to Council and whose powers and duties are set out in the Municipal Act. An Integrity Commissioner is required to be independent and impartial with investigative responsibilities prescribed by the Act relating to the ethical conduct of Council and local board members. The Business Improvement Area would be the only local board subject to the Code of Conduct and connected to the Integrity Commissioner services. In addition, the Town must appoint a Closed Meeting Investigator in similar fashion to the Integrity Commissioner. This could be the Ombudsman or, and more commonly, a Municipality will use the Integrity Commissioner or services with Local Authority Services (LAS), branch of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. The most important functions of the Integrity Commissioner are to educate members of council with respect to the application and interpretation of the code and Municipal Conflict of Interest, and to be available to respond to requests for assistance from individual members. Section 223.3 of the Municipal Act, 2001 authorizes municipalities to appoint an Integrity Commissioner who reports to council and who is responsible for performing, in an independent manner, the functions assigned by the municipality with respect to any or all of the following: 1. The application of the code of conduct for members of council and the code of conduct for members of local boards. 2. The application of any procedures, rules and policies of the municipality and local boards governing the ethical behaviour of members of council and of local boards. 3. The application of sections 5, 5.1 and 5.2 of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act to members of council and of local boards (refers to member’s presence during a closed meeting). 4. Requests from members of council and of local boards for advice respecting their obligations under the code of conduct applicable to the member. 5. Requests from members of council and of local boards for advice respecting their obligations under a procedure, rule or policy of the municipality or of the local board, as the case may be, governing the ethical behaviour of members. 6. Requests from members of council and of local boards for advice respecting their obligations under the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Page 80 of 197 CS 23-031 Page 3 of 5 7. The provision of educational information to members of council, members of local boards, the municipality and the public about the municipality’s codes of conduct for members of council and members of local boards and about the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act. Tillsonburg Town Council appointed Gregory Stewart as the Town’s Integrity Commissioner in February of 2019 on a contract set to expire December 31, 2023. DISCUSSION Selection of an Integrity Commissioner and Closed Meeting Investigator As previously outlined, the Town appointed Mr. Stewart in 2019 to act as the Town’s Integrity Commissioner. Mr. Stewart is no longer providing this service as contracts expire. When inquiring as to the status of his intent, Mr. Stewart identified this desire but noted he would remain available for the short term until another could be appointed. Given the minimal demand for these services, staff recommend appointing an individual who would be available on an as-needed basis under an agreement for a term of up to 4 years for both Integrity Commissioner and Closed Meeting Investigator services. In preparation, Staff conducted research on Integrity Commissioners within the geographical area. Robert Swayze provides the majority of services in neighbouring municipalities including the County of Oxford commencing 2023. This was a result of the previous contracts ending in 2022 and Mr. Stewart no longer renewing or extending services. The following chart outlines the current status of the area municipalities’ integrity commissioner program: Municipality Integrity Commissioner Closed Meeting Investigator Township of South-West Oxford Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Township of Zorra Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Township of East-Zorra Tavistock Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Township of Norwich John Mascarin John Mascarin Township of Blandford Blenheim Robert Swayze Robert Swayze City of Woodstock Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Town of Ingersoll Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Oxford County Robert Swayze Robert Swayze Page 81 of 197 CS 23-031 Page 4 of 5 Robert Swayze is the Integrity Commissioner for approximately 26 other areas and has served for upwards of 60 overall. In terms of Robert Swayze’s experience, he has specialized in municipal law for the entirety of his career both as an employee of two municipalities (Markham and Vaughan) and in private practice. This experience gained Mr. Swayze expertise in interpreting all aspects of municipal law. The Clerk conducted a feedback review amongst her peers as well as arranging a call with Mr. Swayze prior to recommending his services. Appointment Process The Director of Corporate Services/Clerk recommends appointing Mr. Swayze with a four-year term. This would allow for coverage beyond the current term of Council and would complete the process for sourcing an Integrity Commissioner and Closed Meeting Investigator for the Town. If a municipality has not appointed an Integrity Commissioner, the municipality shall make arrangements for those responsibilities to be provided by a Commissioner of another municipality. Since our neighbouring municipalities use Mr. Swayze, that would be our first option to satisfy the requirement. CONSULTATION The following were consulted in the drafting of this report:  Current Integrity Commissioner (service cancellation)  Area Clerks network – County of Oxford  Robert Swayze, Integrity Commissioner  Town Solicitor and Insurance Provider (agreement review) FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE Expenses are incurred for any services from the appointed Integrity Commissioner either training, advice or investigations or for Closed Meeting investigations. Since the commencement of the contract with Mr. Stewart, expenses have totaled approximately $2,000 which equals approximately 8 hours of service (2019 to date). An annual $2,000 is allocated for the services within Council operating budget. Mr. Swayze has a rate of $280 per hour and a $1,000 retainer. Without knowing the full volume need, the annual budget would cover approximately seven hours of service which seems more than adequate against the historical expenses.

THAT report titled CS-23-21 Information Technology Policy be received as information; and B. THAT Council support the guiding principles outlined within the Information Technology Policy and IT Policy Manual framework; and C. THAT a By-Law to enact the overarching Information Technology Policy be presented to Council for consideration. BACKGROUND As part of the 2023 Business Plan for the Corporate Services Department, Implement IT Plan was included. In June of 2023, Council approved the addition of an IT, Project Manager staff member to the compliment of the Corporate Services Department. Since the onboarding of this individual in August the Town has been exploring current IT services, programs, policies and procedures associated with the Town’s Information Technology branch. There are no formal IT policies enacted or governing documents established either internally or as a product of the vendor relationship for IT Services. The Policy included within this report is the first step in establishing formalized rules for the organization within its IT structure and framework. DISCUSSION In order to establish a governance framework for Information Technology which covers rules and regulations to make decisions or complete actions in alignment with, staff recommend the adoption of a Council approved Policy that provides for an overarching mandate for overall delivery of the IT program. To date, programs and procedures have been ad-hoc designed or created to service one particular area, technology, or service. The Municipal Act, 2001, requires the adoption of certain policies as part of Municipal operations. (Appendix B) An IT Policy is not mandatory, however, it is a best practice to enact such Policy in order to align support, accountability, budgets, and control mechanisms on an important Town infrastructure and program. Further, having robust Page 84 of 197 CS 23-21 Page 2 of 7 IT policies that are well executed will position the Town for lower risk exposure and produce cost saving efficiencies. A summary of the Information Technology Policy is as follows (Appendix A):  Endorsement of Council for the creation of the IT Policy Manual;  A commitment of alignment of the IT initiatives within best practices, strategic objectives, and legal requirements;  Approval authority process including revisions;  Compliance and Enforcement mechanisms of established approved policies; and  Mechanism, and authority, for approvals of exceptions to the IT Policy Manual. CONSULTATION The following were consulted in the drafting of the report and Policy:  IT, Project Manager  Municipal Information Systems Association (Ontario)  Area IT Professionals FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE There are no associated costs with implementing this Policy.

BACKGROUND This report is a follow up to FIN 22-29 Property Tax Arrears, which was received as information at the regular meeting of Council on December 12, 2022. The purpose of this annual report is to provide Council with an overview of the Town’s property tax arrears and to provide an update on tax sale procedures. Finance staff conduct an annual review of property tax arrears to identify properties that are set to become eligible for tax sale procedures and to recognize properties with potential collection issues. Sec. 373(1) of the Municipal Act, 2001, c.25, authorizes a municipality to initiate tax sale procedures once a property has at least 2 years of property tax arrears. Prior to 2017, a property was required to have at least 3 years of property tax arrears to become eligible for tax sale procedures. The Town continues to use the 3 year threshold, which is common practice amongst other municipalities. Tax sale procedures are used as a last resort and staff first attempt to work with property owners to provide information, facilitate payment plans and better understand the circumstances behind the arrears, before moving ahead with tax sale procedures. As part of the Tax Department annual processes, registered notice is sent the first week of January to all property owners with 3 years of property tax arrears. The registered notice advises the property owner of the pending commencement of tax sale procedures and provides them options to avoid such tax sale procedures. Those options include paying the minimum amount to clear the year 3 arrears or to contact the Tax Department to enter in to a suitable payment arrangement. Page 91 of 197 FIN 23-041 Property Tax Arrears Page 2 of 4 DISCUSSION Update on Tax Sale Procedures The first major milestone in the tax sale process is to register a Tax Arrears Certificate (Lien) against the title of the eligible property. Once the Tax Arrears Certificate has been registered, the property owner has one calendar year to remit full payment before the property becomes eligible for tax sale. At the expiry of the one-year period, the property becomes eligible for tax sale and a tax sale date is scheduled with Realtax Recovery Specialists. The Town currently has Tax Arrears Certificates registered on 4 properties.  A tax sale date of April 10, 2024 has been scheduled for the 1 eligible property that was registered on December 16, 2022.  The 3 remaining properties were registered on May 18, 2023 and are set to become eligible for tax sale on May 18, 2024. A tax sale date will be scheduled in the coming months if those properties become eligible for tax sale. Full payment received at any time throughout this process would immediately stop tax sale procedures and the Town would proceed with the registration of a cancellation certificate. In 2024, staff will be sending registered notice the first week of January to all property owners with 3 years of property tax arrears, advising them of their options to avoid the commencement of tax sale procedures. Property Tax Arrears Property tax arrears are trending upwards. This time last year property tax arrears were $1.5M. At the time of writing this report, property tax arrears are $1.8M. Staff continue to notify property owners of their arrears and encourage payment. Past due notices are issued quarterly after each property tax installment due date to all property owners in arrears. Including the interim and final property tax bills, a property owner in arrears will receive six notices throughout the year outlining their past due balance. Supplemental billing for new construction continues to be the driving factor for the increase in property tax arrears. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) continues to pick up a record amount of new assessment in Tillsonburg. MPAC is able to issue new assessments for the current year and previous two taxation years. Page 92 of 197 FIN 23-041 Property Tax Arrears Page 3 of 4 In 2023, the Town saw a record amount of supplemental property taxes billed. Town revenue from supplemental taxes was $791,937. This was up from $773,491 in 2022, and $380,072 in 2021. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing reviews each municipality’s financial health through the use of key financial indicators in relation to established provincial thresholds. A Financial Indicator Review is returned in response to the Town’s annual filing of the Financial Information Return (FIR). A key sustainability indicator in this report compares outstanding taxes receivable as a percentage of total taxes levied and categorizes the risk level as low, medium or high. The Town’s tax receivables continue to be categorized as low risk and staff anticipate a further reduction in property tax receivables before year-end. Staff will continue to use tax sale procedures as a last resort but note the importance of running through tax sale procedures on an annual basis to ensure collectability and mitigate risk to the Town. CONSULTATION This report has been completed in consultation with the Interim Director of Finance / Treasurer & Realtax Recovery Specialists. FINANCIAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE The below chart outlines the Town’s outstanding property tax receivables by year. 2023 2022 2021 2020 <= 2019 Total Taxes $1,345,068 $260,633 $62,153 $10,629 $15,863 $1,694,346 Interest $40,945 $34,376 $10,068 $4,364 $15,312 $105,065 Total $1,386,013 $295,009 $72,221 $14,993 $31,175 $1,799,411 As the Town ultimately recovers all the costs incurred for the tax sale proceedings from the proceeds of a tax sale, there is no net impact to the Town’s financials (unless the property is not sold and becomes vested with the Town).

BACKGROUND Through Ontario Regulation 104/97: Standard for Bridges section 2.(3) where said regulation mandates biennial bridge assessments/inspections through the following: “The structural integrity, safety and condition of every bridge shall be determined through the performance of at least one inspection in every second calendar year under the direction of a professional engineer and in accordance with the Ontario Structure Inspection Manual.” In this instance the Town of Tillsonburg manages 37 such bridges, culverts and/or structures requiring said biennial inspections. DISCUSSION This project was identified in staff’s 10 year capital forecast that was first presented in 2022; however, this 2023 recommended project/cost did not transfer into the Town’s 2023 annual capital and/or operating budget. To date (including 2023) the Town’s biennial inspections program has met regulation frequencie(s) where in 2023 GM BluePlan had completed this undertaking.

THAT report titled RCP-43 2024 RCP Capital Pre-Budget Approvals be received as information; and B. THAT pre-budget approval for the following 2024 RCP capital project X27, Pickleball Courts, in the amount of $100,000 be granted, with eligible share to be funded from DC Reserves; and C. THAT the 2023 capital project 399, Tennis Court Surface, in the amount of $145,000 be carried forward to 2024 and be combined with the Pickleball Court project; and D. THAT a Request For Proposal be issued for a joint project of resurfacing the existing tennis courts and adding 3 new pickleball courts with the combined funding from capital projects X27 and 399 in the amount of $245,000 BACKGROUND Staff presented the 2024 Capital and Operating Budgets for Council’s consideration at the November 20, 2023 Council budget meeting. In deliberations on the pickleball courts project it was suggested that RCP staff seek pre-budget approval from Council for this project. DISCUSSION Providing pre-budget approval for the pickleball court project would allow staff to engage in a Request for Proposal immediately which has the advantage of awarding a contract early in 2024 thereby increasing the chances that work can be completed for the spring season. The project would see 3 new pickleball courts built adjacent to the tennis courts at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. Page 97 of 197 Choose an item. Click or tap here to enter text. Page 2 of 3 In the 2023 budget Council approved the resurfacing of the existing tennis courts. Staff recommend that the two projects be combined in order to maximize cost savings by using one contractor and to ensure both projects can be completed in 2024. Preliminary quotes for the projects are within a wide range. Tennis court resurfacing ranged from $41,900 to $131,064 and new pickleball courts ranged from $139,300 - $192,050. With the preliminary quotes for new pickleball courts being over the $100,000 submitted in the 2024 capital budget, and the quotes for the tennis court resurfacing being under the $145,000 budgeted for in the 2023 capital budget, it is recommended that funds from both capital projects be combined in order to provide the best opportunity for both projects to move forward and be completed in 2024.
