REPORT COUNCIL MEETING MEETING DATE: JULY 10, 2017

FROM: Legal Department and Planning Services Department

DATE: June 22, 2017

SUBJECT: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017

LOCATION: Town wide WARD: Town wide Page 1

RECOMMENDATION: 1. That the report from Legal & Planning Services, dated June 22, 2017, regarding Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 be endorsed and submitted to the Province, along with the Council resolution, as the Town of Oakville’s comments on Bill 139; 2. That the Town Clerk forward a copy of the report to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, the Ministry of the Attorney General, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry, Conservation Halton, Halton’s MPPs, Halton Region, the City of Burlington, the Town of Halton Hills, and the Town of Milton for their information; and 3. That the Mayor and Town Staff be authorized to make submissions to the Standing Committee consistent with the issues raised in the report of Legal & Planning Services, dated June 22, 2017, regarding “Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017,” and to otherwise provide comments as part of the public consultation process.

KEY FACTS: The following are key points for consideration with respect to this report:  Bill 139, Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017, received first reading on May 30, 2017.  Bill 139 proposes a number of significant changes to the land use planning appeal system in Ontario that would strengthen the decision-making powers of local communities.  The Ontario Municipal Board would be continued as the “Local Planning Appeal Tribunal,” but with significant changes to its standard of review.

3 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 2

 The Bill would eliminate “de novo” hearings for many planning appeals.  The Tribunal would have a new standard of review restricted to consistency with provincial plans, conformity with provincial policy statements, and conformity with applicable official plans.  The Tribunal could not change Council’s decision on an appeal in the first instance. It would have to send the matter back to Council. Council’s second decision could be appealed, but subject to the above standard of review.  Timelines for Council to make a decision on an application would be extended by 30 days.  A Local Planning Appeal Support Centre would be established to provide the public with free advice on the land use appeals process.  The Bill also proposes amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act respecting governance, funding and roles and responsibilities.

BACKGROUND: On May 30, 2017, Bill 139, an Act to enact the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal Act, 2017 and the Local Planning Appeal Support Centre Act, 2017 and to amend the Planning Act, the Conservation Authorities Act and various other Acts, received first reading. The Bill, known as, the “Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017” is the result of an extensive public consultation process initiated by the Province in 2016 to review the scope and effectiveness of the Ontario Municipal Board (“OMB”). The Town participated in the consultation and provided a detailed submission containing recommendations endorsed by Council.

Bill 139 also proposes amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act, which are the result of comprehensive review initiated by the Province July 20, 2015. The proposed amendments are intended to strengthen and clarify the framework of governance, funding, programs and services, and roles and responsibilities for Conservation Authorities and their provincial and municipal partners.

This report summarizes the key amendments proposed by Bill 139 and seeks authorization to make submissions to support Bill 139.

COMMENT/OPTIONS: Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017

New Tribunal and Standard of Review Bill 139 would continue the OMB under the name “Local Planning Appeal Tribunal.”

4 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 3

However, significant changes are proposed to the Tribunal’s standard of review.1 This was a key submission made by the Town and many other municipalities through the Province’s consultation.

The Bill proposes that the Tribunal’s authority to review appeals regarding the adoption or approval of an official plan or zoning by-law would be restricted to issues of consistency or conformity with provincial plans and policy statements, and as applicable, conformity with official plan policies of upper-tier municipalities. Similar amendments are proposed with respect to appeals related to requests to amend official plans and zoning by-laws. Specifically, applications to amend an official plan or zoning by-law could only be appealed on the basis that the:

(1) Existing part of the official plan or zoning by-law is inconsistent with a provincial policy statement, fails to conform with or conflicts with a provincial plan, or in the case of lower-tier, fails to conform with the upper-tier municipality’s official plan; and (2) The proposed amendment is consistent with provincial policy statements, conforms with or does not conflict with provincial plans, and in the case of lower-tier, conforms with the upper-tier municipality’s official plan.

The amendments proposed through Bill 139 would effectively eliminate “de novo” hearings for many land use planning appeals.2 Limits on the Tribunal’s standard of review3 would strengthen the decision-making powers of local communities. This could result in greater consistency and predictability in planning decisions as the Tribunal would not be permitted to simply substitute its decision for that of Council. The new standard of review may assist in the implementation of an approved official plan or zoning by-law by allowing them to operate with greater stability by requiring applicants to demonstrate how the existing part of the official plan or zoning by-law is inconsistent with a provincial policy statement, fails to conform with or conflicts with a provincial plan, or fails to conform with an applicable upper-tier municipality’s official plan.

1 Section 2.1 of the Planning Act currently requires the OMB, when they make decisions relating to planning matters, to “have regard to” decisions of municipal councils relating to the same planning matter, and to any supporting information and material that was before a municipal council relating to the same planning matter. Bill 139 amends this section to limit its application to specified planning matters. Some clarity is needed regarding this change. 2 Bill 139 would authorize the Minister of Municipal Affairs the authority to identify an appeal to the Tribunal as being a matter of provincial interest. If the Minister so advises, the limits on the Tribunal’s powers on appeal would not apply; instead, the Tribunal would have the authority to overturn a decision and substitute its own. 3 This new standard of review would not apply to other appeals under the Planning Act, including approvals of plans of subdivision, site plans, minor variances or consents/severances.

5 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 4

Procedural Changes The Bill further proposes that where an appeal is allowed by the Tribunal on the basis of the test for consistency or conformity with provincial plans and policy statements, and applicable official plans, the Tribunal would be required to return the matter to the municipal council with written reasons. The municipality would then have 90 days to reconsider the application.4 If that second decision is appealed, the Tribunal could make another decision, but again, in accordance with the test for consistency or conformity with provincial plans and policy statements, and applicable official plans.

Changes are also proposed to the practices and procedures applicable to proceedings before the Tribunal that would assist in streamlining the process and could result in potential cost savings for municipalities. For example, a case management conference would be mandatory for purposes such as identifying the issues raised by the proceeding and discussing opportunities for settlement or the use of mediation. Mediation can be useful in not only resolving disputes, but could result in further scoping the issues. If a person other than the appellant or the municipality wishes to participate in the appeal, they would have to make a written submission 30 days prior to the case management conference. The first hearing could be written or oral, with the Tribunal making a decision on the basis of the record that was before the municipal council. Parties would not permitted to examine or cross examine witnesses at the oral hearing5 which could assist in facilitating less adversarial hearings and is appropriate given the elimination of “de novo” hearings for many appeals.

Related regulation-making powers are added including the authority to prescribe timelines applicable to proceedings on appeals to the Tribunal. The Minister’s regulations could significantly reduce the length of hearings and change the manner in which evidence is introduced during a planning appeal.

Limits on Appeals Bill 139 would exempt a broad range of municipal land use planning decisions6 from appeal to the Tribunal, which were previously appealable to the OMB. For instance, amendments are proposed to allow only the Minister to appeal an interim control by- law when it is first passed. Anyone who is given notice of the extension of an interim control by-law can appeal the extension only. This will provide a municipality

4 Some clarity is needed regarding appeals from Council’s failure to make a decision. 5 At any stage of a proceeding, the Tribunal may require a party to the proceeding to produce a witness for examination by the Tribunal. 6 Bill 139 proposes to prohibit appeals of official plans and official plan updates if the Minister is the approval authority.

6 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 5 sufficient time to study an area and make informed planning decisions. Bill 139 would also prohibit applications to amend new secondary plans for two years, unless permitted by a municipal council. Additionally, there would be no appeal of policies that identify protected major transit station areas in an upper-tier municipality’s official plan and any required lower-tier official plan policies that identify uses of land and minimum densities on lands in such areas.

Transition Regulations may be made to address to which proceedings the new provisions will apply and to which proceedings the OMB will continue to apply on a transitional basis. The City of Toronto recently adopted a motion requesting that the Province ensure that the legislation contains provisions limiting the transition period so that any application made after First Reading be subject to the new legislation. Staff support and recommend that the Town similarly advocate for a limited transition period.

Local Planning Appeal Support Centre Bill 139 would also establish the “Local Planning Appeal Support Centre,” a new provincial agency to provide support services to eligible persons respecting matters governed by the Planning Act that are under the jurisdiction of the Tribunal. The support centre could assist in providing greater access for meaningful public participation in the appeal process.

Conservation Authorities Act Reform Bill 139 also proposes amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act, which are the result of comprehensive review initiated by the province July 20, 2015. The review was undertaken by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (“MNRF”) and consisted of a three-stage consultation process.

Town staff initially presented comments to be submitted to the MNRF as part of a report to the Community Services Committee on October 13, 2015. Town staff have also been engaged by participating in a joint submission through the Halton Area Planning Partnership (“HAPP”) that was submitted by Halton Region to MNRF on September 9, 2016. Through these submissions, town staff have provided high-level responses related to roles and responsibilities and deferred to Halton Region on matters related to governance and funding.

Highlights of the proposed amendments to the Conservation Authorities Act include:  Strengthening oversight and accountability in Conservation Authority decision- making  Increasing clarity and consistency in programs and services as well as regulatory requirements

7 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 6

 Improving collaboration and engagement  Modernizing funding mechanisms to support Conservation Authority operations.

Overall, staff supports the Province’s proposed changes to strengthen and clarify the framework of governance, funding, programs and services, and roles and responsibilities for Conservation Authorities and their provincial and municipal partners. While there are still some elements of the framework to be released, the general directions proposed in Bill 139 appear to be positive.

Town staff are currently participating in a joint submission with HAPP that will be submitted to meet the MNRF commenting deadline of July 30, 2017. That joint submission will be forwarded to Council for information once completed. Halton Region was provided with a report at the Planning and Public Works Committee on July 5, 2017 with a review of the proposed legislation in the context of their previous submissions made to the province.

Summary of Town’s Submissions The Town of Oakville’s submissions on Bill 139 can be summarized as follows:  Town of Oakville supports and encourages the Province to enact Bill 139.  Eliminating “de novo” hearings for many land use planning appeals is an essential change to improving the land use planning system in Ontario.  Limits on the standard of review on appeals would better reflect and validate the extensive work that municipalities do in developing land use policy for their communities.  The new standard of review could result in greater consistency and predictability in planning decisions as the Tribunal would not be permitted to simply substitute its decision for that of Council.  The new standard of review may assist in the implementation of an approved official plan or zoning by-law by allowing them to operate with greater stability by requiring applicants to demonstrate how the existing part of the official plan or zoning by-law is inconsistent with a provincial policy statement, fails to conform with or conflicts with a provincial plan, or fails to conform with an applicable upper-tier municipality’s official plan.  Prohibiting appeals of an interim control by-law will provide a municipality sufficient time to study an area and make informed planning decisions.  Extended timelines for Council to make a decision affords greater opportunity for informed planning decisions.  Mediation can be useful in resolving disputes or scoping the issues.

8 COUNCIL MEETING From: Legal Department and Planning Services Department Date: June 22, 2017 Subject: Bill 139 – Building Better Communities and Conserving Watersheds Act, 2017 Page 7

 No examination or cross examination of witnesses at the oral hearing could assist in facilitating less adversarial hearings and is appropriate given the elimination of “de novo” hearings for many appeals.  The Local Planning Appeal Support Centre could facilitate enhanced participation of residents in the planning appeal process.  The Province should ensure that the legislation contains provisions limiting the transition period so that any application made after First Reading be subject to the new legislation.  The Town generally supports the Province’s proposed changes to strengthen and clarify the framework of governance, funding, programs and services, and roles and responsibilities for Conservation Authorities.

Next Steps Comments may be submitted through the Environmental Registry as follows:  July 31, 2017 is the deadline for public comments on the proposed Conservation Authorities Act amendments.  August 14, 2017 is the deadline for public comments on the proposed Planning Act amendments.

If passed, Bill 139 would better reflect and validate the extensive work that municipalities do in developing land use policy, while balancing the need for a review process to ensure the principles of natural justice to property owners. In the fall, if the Bill passes second reading and is referred to a Standing Committee, there may be an opportunity to make submissions. It is recommended that the Town participate in public consultation regarding Bill 139 to ensure that the Province is aware of the Town’s support and to encourage the Province to enact the Bill. As such, it recommended that Council authorize the Mayor and staff to make submissions to the Standing Committee in support of Bill 139, which may include coordination of submissions with other municipalities, and to otherwise provide comments through the submission of this report.

Staff is reviewing application processing procedures to align with the proposed new timelines. Additionally, report writing is being reviewed to ensure that there is sufficient information in the event that matters proceed solely in writing or at an oral hearing without any examination of witnesses.

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Municipality of Killarney appeal to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to reconsider the proposed change to the Municipal Act, 2001 as a result of Bill 68 regarding tax registration procedures which would end payments out of court for municipalities. The proposed amendment to Section 380 (8) and (9) would see out of court payments revert back to the Crown;
