IDE-2019-57 Statutory Public Meeting Report 78 and 82 Eastview Road Proposed By-law Amendment File: OZS19-004, Ward 2

Michael Witmer, Senior Development Planner, advised the applicant is requesting to rezone the property to the standard R.3A, Residential Townhouse Zone along with associated Wetland (WL) and Conservation Land (P.1) to permit 57 cluster townhouse units and to recognize natural heritage features. He provided information regarding the surrounding properties and addressed the natural heritage system. He noted the applicant is not requesting any specialized, site-specific zoning provisions.

Robert Russell, Robert Russell Planning Consultants Inc., on behalf of the applicant, provided details regarding the application. He addressed concerns raised by delegates about the natural heritage, the roadway, traffic, parking and privacy. He advised he will speak to his client regarding the feasibility of obtaining Net Zero status.

Jeff Lerch, a neighbourhood resident, voiced opposition to the proposal due to the removal of trees, lack of privacy, risk of a higher crime rate, overflow parking issues, emergency services access, site lines, noise and light pollution, grading, groundwater issues, wetlands destruction and inadequate setbacks. He requested a deer study and believes monitoring of the property should occur for at least a year to protect the trees and natural heritage. He also suggested the plan configuration needs to change.

The Mayor left the Chair and Councillor Allt assumed the Chair. (8:25 p.m.)

Rubina Heddokheel raised concerns about the roadway within the complex due to a lack of privacy, safety, parking and snow removal.

Jeremy O’Connor, a neighbourhood resident, believes there are too many units being proposed for the property, the road standards are inadequate and water hookup exemptions are necessary so he does not want the current proposal approved. He also noted the lack of sidewalks, loss of trees, inadequate grading, and impacts on the adjacent properties. He would also like to see confirmation of the wetlands boundary.

June 10, 2019 Guelph City Council Meeting Page 5

The Mayor resumed the Chair. (8:32 p.m)

Mark Hedden, a Ward 1 resident, raised concerns about the tree management plan and requested a longer stewardship agreement be put in place. He also expressed concern about the effects on bees.

Amulet Smithson, a neighbourhood resident, addressed concerns about the loss of wildlife habitat, the road width and the minimal visual access. She requested that the plan be altered to increase space between units and adjust the road location.

Christine Philips, a neighbourhood resident, raised concerns about the potential tree loss - particularly the large willow tree. She also addressed safety issues due to a potential increase in crime, the lack of a sidewalk, the location of the road and low visibility. She also spoke about noise, traffic and parking issues.

Naomi Ridout, a neighbourhood resident, spoke about safety concerns, particularly for children and believes an increase in petty crime will occur. She believes there are inadequate water resources to maintain care of new trees or provide fire protection

Councillor Salisbury arrived at the meeting (9:01 p.m.)

Discussion ensued and issues raised for staff to consider included: addressing visual barriers, tree removal and planting, visitor parking spaces, sidewalks, lighting pollution, trail connectivity, fencing, accessibility and walkability, wetland boundaries, and whether a deer study would be required.

Staff were encouraged to work to ensure the Community Energy Initiative and applicable Official Plan sections are being met and the developer strives to meet Net Zero carbon goals.

Council encouraged staff to assist with meetings between the neighbourhood and the developer.

Staff Report

To City Council Service Area Corporate Services Date Monday, July 22, 2019 Subject Strategy to Address Provincial Legislative Changes Report Number CS-2019-76

Recommendation 1. That a 2020 budget reduction strategy to address the taxation and user fee affordability impacts resulting from provincial legislative changes and the desire to invest in delivering Council’s Strategic Plan, be approved. 2. That staff be directed to identify budget reduction options focused on: a. services not identified as a priority through Council’s Strategic Plan b. services that score above average satisfaction through the Customer Satisfaction Survey c. services that are not a legislated requirement or are delivering at service levels above legislated levels. 3. That staff be directed to provide correspondence to the City’s local boards and shared services requesting a budget reduction strategy be implemented with options for Council to consider as part of 2020 budget approval.

Executive Summary Purpose of Report To provide information related to the 2020 budget development and seek Council approval on the approach to address the budget impacts resulting from provincial legislative changes. Key Findings During the 2020 budget process, Council will be faced with difficult decisions as the signaled provincial budget downloads are realized at the same time Council is trying to address the infrastructure gap, invest in the Strategic Plan priorities and grapple with the cost of growth and development implications from the recently enacted Bill 108. Given these challenges ahead, staff are recommending a strategy to bring forward options for reducing costs which will include reducing service and programming levels, slowing investment in City Building and Growth capital projects, eliminating non-legislated service provisions, increasing revenues beyond inflationary increases, and taking a proactive approach to invest in efficiency opportunities

across the corporation. The current political environment has given municipalities no other choice but to re-evaluate our core service delivery responsibilities and consider alternative, collaborative solutions for some programs. Financial Implications There are no direct financial implications resulting from this report, however the intended outcome of the financial strategy would be budget reductions.

Report As previously communicated to Council on Monday April 1, 2019, through report CS-2019-40, the 2020 budget is being developed in a shortened time period with no significant changes to the process as a result of this “double budget year” and the Strategic Plan development that is currently underway. Due to the provincial budget and other legislative announcements in the first half of 2019, the purpose of this report is to update and seek Council approval on the strategy staff intends to take in developing a fiscally responsible budget that continues to meet citizens’ expectations for core service delivery and continues on the path to achieving sustainable infrastructure funding while maintaining affordability for our rate and tax payers. The following budget directives are for all City departments, local boards, and shared services. 2020 Base Budget Development Directive  2020 inflationary gross expenditure target (between 1.8% and 2%)  revenue target increase to be reflective of current market conditions  2020 operating impacts from 2019 approved capital projects to be incorporated as projects are completed 2020 Growth or Service Enhancement Budget Development Directive  no growth or service enhancement budget requests will be presented to Council with the exception of o audit or service review recommendations where considered urgent o Strategic Plan initiatives identified as a priority in 2020  in-year Council decisions included for Council confirmation and approval  provincial budget and legislative impacts will be segregated for Council discussion  service level reductions and efficiencies for Council discussion and approval o these may be presented and discussed in closed session due to potential human resources considerations. Budget reductions will be required to offset provincial budget impacts and maintain property tax/user fee affordability. A recent report from Moody’s, a national credit rating agency, warns that the municipal sector will be significantly impacted by the provincial changes in 2020 and future years. Staff are working to identify options for Council consideration early in the budget process to address these concerns using the following approach:  identify legislated services where the current service level exceeds the minimum legislated service level  identify discretionary services and programs where levels of service could be reduced or eliminated

Page 2 of 4

 reducing 2020 transfers to City Building and/or Growth Reserve Funds which will mean slowing growth development servicing and the deferral or reduction in size of capital projects over a longer time horizon (Transit, Library, Active Transportation Network)  stopping City Building or Growth capital projects approved prior to 2020 but not yet initiated  identify revenue streams that could increase above inflationary rates  identify budget savings by making one-time investment in technology or other processes for proactive modernization of the City’s back-office functions Staff intend to identify options internally using the following guidelines: i. Service level change focus: Staff will be focused on identifying specific service level impacts rather than an across-the-board efficiency target. Staff do not recommend a one-size-fits-all approach that would mean fringe budget reductions like staff training, and office supplies. This is not a sustainable budget approach and will leave the City with having a similar budget conversation in future years. This is a time to be bold and start identifying the services to which we have a financial obligation versus an advocacy or other partnership role to play. ii. City-wide approach: Staff are recommending that the budget impacts resulting from the provincial downloads be offset through budget reductions across the City and not just in those directly affected areas. iii. Corporate Strategic Plan: Council will approve a strategic plan in September 2019 that will not only identify what are the most important services or functions of the City, but it will also provide clarity on what is not a priority. Staff will be using the results of this plan to identify budget reduction opportunities to ensure the City’s financial resources are aligned with Strategic Plan objectives. iv. Customer Satisfaction Survey: As part of our on-going commitment to be responsive to our citizens, the City will be updating the Citizen Satisfaction Survey this summer. This body of work will also inform budget reduction conversations as there may be some services where a decrease in satisfaction is palatable. It is imperative as the City moves through these fiscal challenges that Council is an ambassador for these changes. Council priorities change over time as political, environmental, and citizen expectations change. The City budget is lean and in order to achieve the level of sustainable savings that will be required to address the various financial challenges, service levels will need to change, or other revenues will need to increase. Staff will provide Council with an operating budget status update in September that will identify preliminary budget reduction options. Financial Implications There are no direct financial implications resulting from this report.

Consultations Finance staff met with the Executive Team and Corporate Management Team to discuss the approach for the 2020 budget given the financial challenges the City will be facing due to changes at the Provincial level. Further, there was over a year of community engagement through the development of the City’s Community Plan which will serve as the foundation of the City’s Strategic Plan. The Customer Satisfaction Survey will also provide for current data for making budget reduction decisions. Community engagement should occur through master planning and project planning; the budget is just a reflection of the consultation work that is already in place. Corporate Administrative Plan

Staff Report

To City Council Service Area Infrastructure, Development and Enterprise Services Date Monday, July 22, 2019 Subject Baker District Redevelopment - Progress Update and Financial Impacts Report Number IDE-2019-84

Recommendation 1. That the Baker District Steering Committee be directed to work with the Guelph Public Library Board and Windmill Development Group to provide an alternative new main library design option that: a. is not more than $34 million excluding the cost of land and site preparation; and b. aligns space consistent to the Council-endorsed Guelph Public Library business case as referenced in IDE-2018-22 Baker District Redevelopment Status Update; and c. gives priority to spaces that do not compete with other city-owned facilities and services. 2. That the Baker District Steering Committee be directed to investigate alternative shared-use parking options for both the public and library parking requirements on the proposed Baker District Redevelopment Site.

Executive Summary Purpose of Report To provide Council with an update on the progress of the Baker District Redevelopment as well as a summary of the high level financial plan related specifically to the library and parking components and propose fiscal mitigation options for those public spaces within the redevelopment. To reiterate that the City is committed to building a new main library and parking in the downtown core as part of the Baker District site. To address the need to be dynamic and responsive to the changing fiscal environment as a responsible approach to negotiating through this complex redevelopment process. Key Findings The Baker District Redevelopment has taken some great steps forward along the planning process continuum, with a focus on the community engagement and input towards the Baker District design. The most recent deliverable from this work is the draft design of the new main library that is included in Attachment 1 to this report.

Page 1 of 9

Subsequent to approval of the Guelph Public Library (GPL) business case in February 2018 and throughout this period of planning and design, new information is available for Council to consider in their deliberations towards the final approval of the Baker District public space scheduled in the fall of 2019.  On May 28, 2018, Council approved a strategy to become a 100% Renewable Energy corporation and a Net Zero Carbon City by 2050. All City investments moving forward should be reviewed with this lens and the current proposed parking structure on this site may contradict these goals.  The City developed and presented a funded 10-year capital plan in January 2019 that identified a City Building funding shortfall of approximately $20 million by 2028. Staff advised Council that this will need to be addressed through Strategic Plan prioritization and identification of mitigation strategies.  The City approved a Development Charge (DC) By-law in February 2019, informed from an 18-month DC Study that provides restrictions on the allowable cost and square feet under DC provincial legislation for both the library and the parking areas.  On May 29, 2019, the draft design of the proposed Main Library was revealed after a successful community engagement period. It includes a quantum of space allocated for public meeting areas and a multi-purpose room with 300 seats, which compete directly with the City’s community spaces at the River Run Center and other city facilities.  On June 6, 2019, the province enacted Bill 108 that creates significant uncertainty with future revenues associated with the planned public components of the Baker District including libraries, parks and parking services.  It has also been identified that the cost to build parking beyond one floor below grade will result in the need to go through bedrock and lead to excessive costs. Staff are considering alternative shared parking arrangements, where residential spaces could be used as commercial/public spaces during the workday. As a result of the above findings, staff are recommending that for both the library and parking components of the site, options for mitigating the financial risk and exposure of the public components be investigated and brought back to Council as part of the final site design approval. Financial Implications The current forecasted budget for the Baker District Redevelopment public facility components, excluding planning, land acquisition and site preparation totals approximately $80 million. This is based on collecting $24 million in DCs, $20 million from parking user fees, and $36 million from property taxes. Completion of the City’s DC Background Study, changes in the DC Act from the passage of Bill 108, progressive maturity of the City’s long-term financial planning and further site investigation have changed the underlying assumptions that Council’s previous decisions were based upon. While City services are provided to our community through a wide range of delivery models; provincially designated service providers, municipal corporations, contracted service providers, local boards and services delivered directly by the municipality, all of these are funded by one taxpayer. The financial impacts associated with competing service delivery and changing provincial legislation require consideration and mitigation measures.

Report Since November 2018, those involved in the Baker District project have engaged the community through 31 different events and activities in person, online or comment boxes. To date, there have been three public open houses, five pop-up events and two multi-stakeholder focus sessions resulting in approximately 1,400 personal interactions and 29 interactions with various community groups, organizations, and institutions, including downtown businesses, residents, churches and social clubs. Currently, there is a graffiti wall at the central library, comment boxes at each library branch, as well as online question boards and community surveys. The City is committed to building a new main library and parking in the downtown core. The scope of the project requires review and consideration given the impacts of a changing environment as the City moves through this complex redevelopment process. Background Included in the planned public component of the Baker District Redevelopments are City-operated parking, a new main library and an urban park. On February 13, 2018, Council approved the new main library to be 88,000 square feet at an approximate cost at that time of $526 per square foot totaling $46.25 million (excluding certain planning and management costs). This was an important data set for the Baker District request for proposal document as it provided definition of the public space planned for that site and it provided an estimate for the 10-year capital plan. The parking component was tied to the Parking Master Plan that identified the Baker District as one of the four planned parkades in the downtown with a total of 500 parking spaces on that site. On July 16, 2018, Council announced that Windmill Development Group (Windmill) was the successful proponent to the City’s request for proposal for the Baker District Development and subsequently entered into a pre-development management agreement (PDMA) to begin the planning, community engagement and site design required for a successful development. Changes in assumptions Subsequent to entering into the partnership with Windmill in mid-2018, there is new information for Council to be aware of and to consider in their deliberations towards the final approval of the Baker District public space scheduled in September 2019. It is important that Council is aware of this upcoming decision point and to direct staff to report back on any remaining information Council feels is required to provide confidence in the decision-making process. Climate Crisis, 100% Renewable and Net Zero Carbon On May 28, 2018, Council approved a strategy to become a 100% Renewable Energy Corporation and a Net Zero Carbon City by 2050. Council further strengthened this commitment in May 2019, when the City acknowledged that there is a Climate Crisis and the importance of the City doing its part to address this global issue. With this direction, all City investments, especially long-term

Page 3 of 9 facility projects, should be reviewed with this lens and for this reason, the current proposed dedicated parking structure on the Baker District site may contradict these goals by providing dedicated parking as the City looks to increase transit ridership and decrease dependencies on automobiles. 10-Year Funded Capital Plan As reported and presented in January 2019, the City has been focusing on maturing the long-term financial planning models and policies. The 2019-2028 Capital Budget was the first funded capital plan for the City and provides staff and Council the foundation to make informed financial decisions regarding affordability and impacts on future tax rates. The 2019 budget identified a shortfall in City Building funding of upwards of $20 million by 2028 that would need to be addressed with Council through Strategic Planning priority setting through 2019. Included in the 2019- 2028 capital plan was $6 million of City Building funding for the library, meaning that if the current proposed main library design is approved, the 10-year City Building funding deficit will increase to $30 million. This deficit will need to be made up from other sources of funding, including infrastructure renewal funds that have already been proven to be in a critically underfunded state. Staff urge Council to take this as an opportunity to consider the developing Strategic Plan priorities and aligning these with the City’s financial resources. Development Charge Study and Bylaw Putting aside the potential impacts of Bill 108 which came later, City Council approved a Development Charge (DC) By-law in February 2019, which was informed by an 18-month background study that identified restrictions on the allowable cost and square footage under provincial DC legislation for both the library and parking services. The 500 space parkade was over the service level standard with only $7.1 million or 26% of the planned cost to be funded from DCs. The balance would be funded through the City’s recently approved parking financial model, requiring parking rates to be increased higher than anticipated to cover the additional costs. Site investigation has also identified the presence of bedrock near the surface which would drastically increase the cost of construction if additional underground levels were required to accommodate this number of parking spaces on the site. For this reason, staff are requesting that Council support the investigation of alternative parking models such as non-dedicated or shared parking to reduce the fiscal impacts of the DC limitations. The current proposed main library footprint, as included in Attachment 1, and estimated cost is in excess of the 10-year historical service level cap, therefore it requires more property tax funding than previously planned.

Growth Requirements $3.33 $1.88 $1.88 $1.88 Tax Funded

City Building (above $0 $15.98 $15.98+ $0 service standard) Tax Funded

*Note that this amount does not include the proceeds from the sale of the current library, which will reduce this tax amount required in all four options. The capital plan has been funded based upon the Council-adopted resolution number 10 from February 13, 2018, which stipulates “That the current location of the Downtown Public Library… and that any proceeds from the sale of this property and/or land be used toward the overall construction of the new downtown main library”. Based on the DC collection restrictions, which are based upon the service level currently provided to residents, staff are recommending a design option that is no more than 65,000 square feet. This will limit the property tax funding needed only for the amount to replace the existing current main library, which is approximately 29,000 square feet. Proposed New Main Library Design After a successful community engagement period, on May 29, 2019, the draft design of the new proposed Main Library was revealed to the public at two open houses. The design includes a space allocated for public meeting areas, a multi- purpose room with up to 300 seats and space designated for library staff that exceeds the planned staff space in the Council-endorsed business plan. Staff are concerned with the capital and operating fiscal implications of the multi- use and meeting area spaces due to the competing nature/interest this space will have with other City-owned sites including the River Run Centre, the Guelph Museum, City Hall, the Evergreen Center, the Victoria Road Recreation Center and the West End Recreational Center. The City is concerned that offering this space at

Page 5 of 9 the main library, at discounted rates, will negatively impact River Run, Museum and other city rental revenues causing upward pressure on property taxes. Staff recognize that Library patrons are interested in these types of spaces at lower rates then are currently offered at current City facilities. Staff propose to work with the Library as well as the City’s own internal facility providers to develop a strategy to be presented to Council in time for the 2021 operating budget that would address these concerns. Maximizing the use of existing city-owned spaces while minimizing impacts to operating and capital budgets would be the objective of these discussions. The City is also concerned that the proposed design includes staff work space that is considerably in excess of the Council-endorsed business plan that was benchmarked to industry metrics. This increase to the planned staff space may be a reflection of the future operating business plan of the GPL, however in the absence of this plan, City staff are concerned with the operating impacts of this expanded space. Staff are recommending that Council request a new design that gives priority to space that does not compete with other City services and that aligns the total space by function to the Council-endorsed GPL business plan. More Housing, More Choice Bill 108 Impacts On June 6, 2019, the province enacted new legislation which will alter the way the City will fund certain growth-related capital projects. Currently, based upon the newly announced regulations for Bill 108, effective January 1, 2021, the City will not be able to collect DCs for parks, parking or libraries. The Baker District development is currently planning to be funded $24 million from these DCs (library $16.9 million and parking $7.1 million) and therefore this is another added concern to the funding equation of the public components of this site and the reason for staff to request alternative options with respect to both service designs. The replacement Community Benefit Charge (CBC) authority is still in the early design stage by the province. The City will not likely know, prior to Council approving the Baker District development plan in the fall of 2019, if this new revenue stream will fully replace the eliminated DCs leaving this portion of the funding at risk. Site Conditions As previously mentioned, it has been identified that the bedrock on portions of the site may be relatively close to the surface, therefore substantially increasing the cost to build parking beyond one floor below grade. Staff are considering alternative shared parking arrangements, where residential spaces could be used as commercial/public spaces during the workday. This approach would mitigate cost and align the project better with the climate-related long-term goals of the Corporation and the City as a whole. This same approach would be investigated for parking that is required for the library patrons. Further, this approach would support other long-term visions for the City including encouraging the modal split identified in the Official Plan and Transportation Master Plan that is currently under a review. Additionally, one of the proposals to meeting carbon reductions is creating a car-free zone in the downtown.

Financial Implications The current forecasted budget for the Baker District public facility components, excluding planning, land acquisition and site preparation totals approximately $80 million. This is based on collecting $24 million in DCs, $20 million from parking user fees, and $36 million from property taxes. As identified above, a number of factors have occurred subsequent to that forecasted budget and thus contributed to the recommendation to Council to request and investigate alternative options that mitigate the tax supported financial components of the Baker District site. The Completion of the City’s DC Background Study, changes in the DC Act from the passage of Bill 108, progressive maturity of the City’s long-term financial planning and further site investigation have changed the underlying assumptions that Council’s previous decisions were based upon.
