Meeting Date: February 12, 2019 Submitted by: Durk Vanderwerff, Director of Planning SUBJECT: THAMES SYDENHAM SOURCE WATER PROTECTION COMMITTEE
BACKGROUND: The Clean Water Act provides for communities to protect drinking water supplies by developing watershed-based source protection plans and establishing committees to guide and monitor the source protection plans. The Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Region covers a significant portion of the County. The Clean Water Act and the associated Regulations require that 1/3 of the membership of the Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Committee be comprised of municipal representatives. The Regulation allows for the grouping of municipalities to appoint one representative and the County of Middlesex, and the City of London have been grouped together. This report recommends that Mr. Carlos Reyes, Director Environmental Services for the Municipality of Thames Centre, be appointed to the Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Committee on behalf of the County of Middlesex and the City of London. ANALYSIS: In the past, Middlesex relied on the City of London representative, whom had considerable technical expertise in this area, to represent both municipalities. The City of London decommissioned all of its municipal drinking water wells and therefore indicated that it would rely on Middlesex County to represent the joint interests of the two jurisdictions by appointing a member to the Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Committee. February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 2 8 a - CC
Although the County is responsible for appointing someone to sit on the Thames- Sydenham and Region Source Protection Committee, the municipal drinking water systems are a local municipal responsibility. Further, only Thames Centre and Middlesex Centre operate municipal drinking water systems that rely on wells (that are not part of the Regional Water Supply System) within the Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Region. As such, it is appropriate that a representative from Thames Centre or Middlesex Centre be appointed. In 2018 Mr. Brian Lima, Director of Public Works and Engineering for the Municipality of Middlesex Centre, was appointed by County Council to be the representative. Mr. Lima has since left the employment of Middlesex Centre. The CAOs of Thames Centre and Middlesex Centre have agreed that Mr. Carlos Reyes, Director of Environmental Services for the Municipality of Thames Centre, would be an appropriate staff person to take on this role. The appointment is for the remainder of the 3-year term expiring in June 2021. RECOMMENDATION: That Mr. Carlos Reyes, Director of Environmental Services for the Municipality of Thames Centre, be appointed to the Thames-Sydenham and Region Source Protection Committee on behalf of the County of Middlesex and the City of London.

Meeting Date: February 12, 2019 Submitted by: Durk Vanderwerff, Director of Planning Subject: APPEAL TO LUCAN BIDDULPH CONSENT APPLICATION NO. B-5/2018, STEPHEN AND DELORES CARTER
BACKGROUND: The Planning Act assigns the authority to grant consents to the County level of government. County Council has in turn delegated this authority to each local municipality. County staff review consent applications against Provincial and County planning policy and occasionally bring an application to the attention of Council. A matter can be taken to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) if County Council feels that Provincial or County planning policies are not satisfied. Stephen and Delores Carter own a 60-hectare (149 acre) farm on the east side of Richmond Street (Highway 4) north of Lucan within the Township of Lucan Biddulph. The lands are designated ‘Agricultural Areas’ under the County Official Plan, ‘Agricultural’ under the Township Official Plan and are zoned ‘General Agricultural (A1)’. A copy of the local planning report which includes a location map is appended to this report. The applicants wish to sever a 20-hectare (50 acre) agricultural property without buildings and retain a 40-hectare (99 acre) agricultural property containing a dwelling and drivesheds. The submitted material indicates that the purpose of the severance is to settle an inheritance and that a new dwelling is to be constructed on the lot to be severed. On January 8, 2019 the Committee of Adjustment provisionally granted the consent. The decision does not however appear to satisfy the farm parcel creation policies of the Provincial Policy Statement and the County and Township official plans. Specifically, the concern centres on the creation of a farm parcel of 20 hectares (50 acres). The creation of farm parcels is generally only permitted where both the severed and retained parcels are about 40 hectares (100 acres). February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 8 8 b - CC
On January 28, 2019, the Chief Administrative Officer, on behalf of the County, appealed the decision of the Township of Lucan Biddulph Committee of Adjustment with respect to application B-5/2018. This report is submitted in accordance with County practice whereby staff submits an appeal of an application within the statutory time- frame and then reports to Council. The decision to proceed with, or withdraw, an appeal rests with Council. It is noted that an identical application (File No. B1/2018) was applied for in early 2018. That application was also granted by the Committee of Adjustment but then appealed to the LPAT by the County. Prior to the LPAT convening a Hearing, the applicants advised that they did not wish to proceed with the application. The LPAT therefore determined that, in the absence of evidence from the applicants in support of their proposal, the appeal would be allowed, and the consent was not granted.
ANALYSIS: Provincial Policy Statement The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on land use planning matters that are of Provincial interest and all planning decisions ‘shall be consistent’ with the PPS. The PPS seeks to protect ‘prime agricultural areas’ for long-term agricultural use and discourages lot creation within the ‘prime agricultural area’. In this regard, Section 2.3.4.1(a) of the PPS permits lot creation for: “agricultural uses, provided that the lots are of a size appropriate for the type of agricultural use(s) common in the area and are sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in the type or size of agricultural operations” Agricultural uses are defined as: “the growing of crops, including nursery, biomass, and horticultural crops; raising of livestock; raising of other animals for food, fur or fibre, including poultry and fish; aquaculture; apiaries; agro-forestry; maple syrup production; and associated on-farm buildings and structures, including, but not limited to livestock facilities, manure storages, value-retaining facilities, and accommodation for full-time farm labour when the size and nature of the operation requires additional employment.”
County Official Plan The County Official Plan provides land use policy direction on a broad basis by dealing with issues of Provincial and County interest. The Plan states: February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 8 8 b - CC
“In the Agricultural Areas, farm parcels shall remain sufficiently large to ensure flexibility and the economic viability of the farm operation. The creation of parcels of land for agriculture of less than 40 hectares shall generally not be permitted.” Section 4.5.3.4(c) of the Plan outlines the farm parcel creation policies and states: “consents for new farm lots shall generally not be considered where the result is the creation of a farm lot less than a typical township lot of about 40 hectares. Consents for the creation of new farm lots shall be considered where both the size of the lands being severed and the lands being retained are appropriate to: 1. the type of agriculture being engaged in or proposed to be engaged in; and 2. the type of agricultural activity and farm lot size common in the area. In general, farm lot size shall be sufficiently large to create large contiguous farming blocks and to maintain flexibility to adapt to future changes in agriculture and to avoid the unwarranted fragmentation of farmland. A minimum farm lot size shall be established in the Zoning By-laws of the local municipalities”
Lucan Biddulph Official Plan The Township’s Official Plan provides more detailed planning policy direction concerning the creation of farm parcels and in Section 3.1.1.4 states: “The severing of agricultural land into smaller parcels shall be discouraged. Where the severing of agricultural land is proposed, the owner must demonstrate that the resulting parcels would constitute productive or logical farm units or viable farm enterprises and would not have a detrimental impact on agricultural productivity, operating efficiencies or future farming options. Generally, both parcels should be at least 40 ha in size. In considering such proposals, the following factors shall also be taken into account: a) the effect of the severance on the fragmentation of farmland and the need to discourage the unwarranted fragmentation of farmland; b) the agricultural capability and productivity of the land; c) whether the size of the parcels are appropriate to the type of agriculture being engaged in or proposed to be engaged in and the type of agricultural activity and farm lot size common in the area; d) the minimum farm parcel size as established in the Township’s Zoning By-law; e) the County of Middlesex Official Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement; f) the requirements of the Planning Act; February 19, 2019 Page 4 of 8 8 b - CC
g) whether the new parcels are sufficiently large to maintain flexibility to accommodate future changes in the type or size of agricultural operations.” It is noted that the Lucan Biddulph Zoning By-law establishes a minimum lot area of 40 hectares (99 acres) within the ‘General Agricultural (A1)’ Zone.
Planning Analysis Agriculture is the predominant land use within the County and an important component of the economy and culture. The protection of agriculture and agricultural land therefore represents a major pillar of the PPS and the County’s Official Plan. A key component of the agricultural policies is the general discouragement of lot creation to avoid the unwarranted fragmentation of farmland. The PPS, the County Official Plan and the Township Official Plan provide policy direction to allow the creation of farm parcels provided the lots are of a size appropriate for the type of agricultural uses common in the area and sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in the type or size of agricultural operations. The County and Township Official Plans specify that this is to be about 40 hectares (99 acres) in size. As I understand it, in granting the application, the Committee of Adjustment considered a number of factors including that the subject lands were previously separate parcels that may have ‘inadvertently’ merged. In this regard, it is my understanding that the lands were separate parcels until 1996 when both properties were transferred into the same ownership. Where two properties, that are not within a plan of subdivision or subject to a previous consent, are held in the exact same name, by operation of law the properties merge in title and cannot be separately conveyed. This is often called an ‘accidental’ or ‘inadvertent’ merger. From a land use planning perspective, an application for consent to re-establish the formerly separate parcels is to be evaluated against the planning policies in place when the application is made. In other words, a previous merger does not excuse a proposal from having to satisfy the planning policies. Planning staff have been consistent in this interpretation and it is our understanding that this interpretation has been confirmed by the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (formally OMB), including a decision within Middlesex County. Based on the above, it is my opinion that the Township Lucan Biddulph Application B- 5/2018 to create a 20-hectare (50 acre) farm parcel is not consistent with the PPS and is not in conformity with the County or Township Official Plans. February 19, 2019 Page 5 of 8 8 b - CC
This report is submitted in accordance with County policy whereby staff submits an appeal of a local application within the statutory time frame and then reports to Council the rationale for the appeal. The decision to proceed with, or withdraw, an appeal rests with Council.
RECOMMENDATION: That staff be directed to pursue the appeal of the Township Lucan Biddulph Application B-5/2018 before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal. or That staff be directed to withdraw the appeal of the Township of Lucan Biddulph Application B-5/2018 Attachment February 19, 2019 Page 6 of 8 8 b - CC

REPORT
TO: Chair and Members of the Committee of Adjustment Township of Lucan Biddulph
FROM: Marc Bancroft, Senior Planner
RE: Application for Consent (B‐5/2018) Stephen and Delores Carter 34998 Richmond Street
Purpose: The purpose of the subject application is to sever a parcel of land having an area of approximately 20.25 hectares (50 ac) from an existing farm parcel.
Background (see Figure 1): The subject property is a 60.4 hectare (149 ac) farm situated on the east side of Richmond Street (Highway 4) south of Mooresville Drive. The southwest portion of the farm contains a single detached dwelling and two (2) drivesheds accessible by a driveway off Richmond Street (Highway 4). The northwest portion of the farm is bisected by the Cunningham municipal drain. The lands are designated Agricultural under the Township Official Plan and zoned General Agricultural (A1).
To settle an inheritance, the applicants are requesting provisional consent to sever the northerly third of the farm as a separate parcel of land. The lands to be conveyed are vacant and would have a frontage of approximately 201 metres (659 ft) along Richmond Street (Highway 4) and an area of approximately 20.25 hectares (50 ac). The lands to be retained, containing the dwelling and the two farm buildings, would have a frontage of approximately 405 metres (1,329 ft) along Richmond Street (Highway 4) and an area of approximately 40.15 hectares (99.42 ac).
The subject lands are legally described as Part of Lot 16 and all of Lot 17, Concession 1 (geographic Township of Biddulph), Township of Lucan Biddulph. The subject farm is essentially the same parcel of land originally acquired by the applicants.
This latest Consent is a re‐submission of Application for Consent B‐1/2018 conditionally approved by the Township’s Committee of Adjustment on June 18, 2018 and subsequently appealed by the County of Middlesex on July 5, 2018. Although the appeal was scheduled to be heard before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal, the applicants withdrew their application thereby closing the file on Consent B‐1/2018.
February 19, 2019 Page 7 of 8 8 b - CC Application for Consent (B‐5/2018) 2 Stephen and Delores Carter 34998 Richmond Street
Analysis: The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), the County of Middlesex Official Plan and the Township Official Plan provides policy direction to allow the creation of farm parcels provided the lots are of a size appropriate for the type of agriculture common in the area and sufficiently large to maintain flexibility for future changes in the type or size of agriculture. Specifically, new farm parcels shall generally be 40 hectares (99 ac) in size as noted in both Official Plans. Given that the new farm parcel proposes an area of approximately 20.25 hectares (50 ac) being significantly less than 40 hectares (99 ac), the subject application would not be consistent with the PPS nor would it be in conformity with both Official Plans.
To implement the foregoing policy direction, the General Agricultural (A1) Zone under the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By‐law requires a minimum lot area of 40 hectares (99 ac). Although the lands to be retained would have an area of approximately 40.15 hectares (99.42 ac) thereby exceeding the said minimum requirement, the lands to be severed would fail to conform to the minimum lot area having an area of approximately 20.25 hectares (50 ac).
Comments: In the circulation of the notice of public hearing to prescribed agencies, the following comments were received:
Ministry of Transportation: No objection however the owner is advised that any new access to Highway 4 will require consent from the Ministry including the issuance of an entrance permit.
Township Chief Building Official: No objection
In the circulation of the notice of public hearing to surrounding property owners, no responses have been received from the public as of the date of this report.
Recommendation: THAT Application for Consent B‐5/2018 filed by Stephen and Delores Carter to sever a farm parcel having an area of approximately 20.25 hectares from a property known municipally as 34998 Richmond Street and legally described as Part of Lot 16 and Lot 17, Concession 1 (geographic Township of Biddulph) in the Township of Lucan Biddulph; BE DENIED.
Reasons: Consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement would not be maintained; Conformity with the County of Middlesex Official Plan would not be maintained; Conformity with the Township of Lucan Biddulph Official Plan would not be maintained; The requirements of the Township of Lucan Biddulph Zoning By‐law would not be satisfied.

FEBRURAY 2019 Building Official Services February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 16 A 1 - CW
Background • The thought of a new Building Services delivery model in Middlesex is not a new topic • The most recent review was completed during the last term of Council • Some Counties across Ontario provide building services to local municipalities and neighbouring Counties • A number of municipalities in Middlesex are currently examining their building services • As part of the local municipal examination, the efficiency and effectiveness of a regional model is being reviewed February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 16 A 1 - CW
• There were challenges associated with developing a regional model during previous discussions:
◦ Not every municipality had a CBO HR issue at the same time ◦ If a municipality has a CBO in place, the issue did not feel Previous immediate ◦ In the past there was a thought that a regional approach Reviews could hurt overall service delivery in each municipality ◦ There were higher priority local services to deliver that met all of the guiding principles and provided bigger “bang for the buck” February 19, 2019 Page 4 of 16 A 1 - CW
The Issue
01 02 03 04 05
All municipalities are Attracting and retaining Some municipalities have Public expectation for Little appetite to increase required to have a Chief qualified building officials less resources due to immediate service taxation in order to Building Official (CBO) is a challenge for a small assessment base on respond to desire for number of Ontario an individual basis better service municipalities, particularly small and rural municipalities February 19, 2019 Page 5 of 16 A 1 - CW
For some municipalities the following challenges exist….
Providing The high cost The ability to Attracting Retaining a The high cost coverage for a The cyclical of obtaining a properly qualified qualified of training a Chief Building nature of qualified service Building Building Chief Building Official during building Building unique Officials Official Official holidays or services Official buildings The Challenge illness With Local CBO Systems
As a result, several local municipalities that have local CBO systems are currently reviewing their building services model February 19, 2019 Page 6 of 16 A 1 - CW
Environmental Scan • Building services delivered by Upper Tiers in other counties (Lambton, Dufferin) ◦ Investigated recently at Middlesex County, but County Council opted for status quo • Shared services is not unfamiliar in Middlesex at the lower-tier ◦ many examples exist (e.g. fire, building permits and inspections, roads, water, landfill operations, parks and recreation, libraries and museums, planning and development) • A few Middlesex municipalities are sharing building services currently • Local shared services may take form of contracting services or jointly hiring staff to fulfill service needs for all partners through employment contracts February 19, 2019 Page 7 of 16 A 1 - CW
• Before recommending the establishment of a local service offering from the County of Middlesex, I carefully examine whether I can achieve the following four program delivery outcomes:
Local Service ◦ Create efficiencies for the common tax payer Delivery ◦ Create service delivery synergies at the County ◦ Provide a higher quality service Guiding ◦ Avoid displacing municipal employees Principles • It is possible to attain all four guiding principles with a regional approach for building services ◦ Low-level service delivery synergies at the County February 19, 2019 Page 8 of 16 A 1 - CW
Local Service Integration
• Some municipalities across Ontario of a certain size struggle with the cyclical nature of building services • To respond to this challenge, there are generally three solutions:
◦ Utilize a part-time employee ◦ Purchase the service from a consultant or neighbouring municipality ◦ Integrate Building services into another service ◦ Drains ◦ By-law enforcement
• There are examples of each of these solutions in Middlesex County February 19, 2019 Page 9 of 16 A 1 - CW
Status-quo
• Municipalities continue to use all of the various tools to address the challenges they face in the delivery of this service
Service Delivery Local municipal inter-service agreements Options • These exist in some municipalities now and they seem to have worked reasonably well • This is most certainly a worthy option for municipalities that find themselves with various building services challenges
Local service delivery provision at the County February 19, 2019 Page 10 of 16 A 1 - CW
• Integrate the service with another service such as by-law How I enforcement • Hire one Chief Building Official to manage and deliver the would service • Hire several Building Officials to deliver the service across the recommend county • Not a levy service delivering • Fee for service model • Break the county into three zones for service delivery Building the service • Reporting structure the same as our local planning service Services at the County Level • A human resources strategy What we • Commitment from at least two of the larger three municipalities would need • The opportunity to review whether we could deliver the service outside of our boundaries as well to be • Utilization of a model that operates the same as our fire inspections services in terms of reporting and approach successful • A team that understands the needs of the community February 19, 2019 Page 11 of 16 A 1 - CW
Business Processes/Technology
Technology provides for Asset Management Standardization of the flexibility to software programs processes and fees undertake certain work provide for modules would be expected to from any location, and related to building ensure that the shared almost all local inspection and permits, position(s) have the municipalities purchase as they impact municipal understanding of the IT services from the infrastructure processes and systems County of Middlesex and • using the same software across the County have GIS through the would further support individuals providing services County’s license to each municipality February 19, 2019 Page 12 of 16 A 1 - CW
Labour Relations • Shared CBO/Building Inspection/By-law enforcement is relatively common • Workload expectations would need to be clearly defined, based on organizational structure • Cost allocation would need to be clearly defined if this is not a levy service • Attrition of existing staff, along with opportunity to bring existing staff into new shared services structure should alleviate labour concerns • Some municipalities may need to engage in union discussions related to a change to a non- levy service February 19, 2019 Page 13 of 16 A 1 - CW
• Individually, there is no opportunity for growth or economies of scale for smaller municipalities

◦ While we clearly have more municipalities interested in this service than our last review, participation from our municipalities where the highest proportion of building services are delivered is still a question mark and will remain a question mark until we formally ask the question of the councils ◦ Do we have critical mass Political Risks ◦ We would need geographic dispersion as well
◦ Can we avoid impacting upon local delivery integration in smaller municipalities February 19, 2019 Page 15 of 16 A 1 - CW

Authority
The first concern related to Authority came from a small municipality several years ago These concerns generally arise when a local Fire Chief comes from outside of Middlesex (usually large urban) raises questions in regard to the FPPA The Middlesex model is unique The concerns come from a focus on authority in the FPPA Fire prevention and protection matters by default begin as local municipal responsibilities There is a general lack of awareness in the fire community including at the OFMEM (by their own admission) of the power of the Municipal Act February 19, 2019 Page 16 of 20 A 2 - CW

While the intent was a transfer of the service, a municipality has argued that what actually occurred from their perspective was a delegation of the service to The Transfer of the county, not a transfer Fire Inspection The challenge from my perspective is that the Services resolutions are not specific enough to be definitive on whether all municipalities were transferring or delegating

Warden Kurtis Smith, 399 Ridout Street N, London, ON N6A 2P1
Dear Warden Smith,
Congratulations on your election as Warden of Middlesex County!
I am reaching out to you on behalf of the SCOR EDC Board of Directors to ask that Middlesex County remain in the five county partnership again this year as a full partner.
As you know SCOR EDC is a municipally owned economic development corporation. The region is comprised of small urban and rural communities that are home to over 450,000 residents. We share many common issues, concerns, and opportunities. We have always held to the belief that the five county region is “right-sized” large enough to draw attention of Provincial and Federal gov- ernment and yet small enough to agree on many priorities and issues that we all face. Each county has a strong economic base in agriculture and manufacturing as well as tourism.
Over the past years we have continued to represent the interests of the entire region and do still believe that together we are stronger. The initiatives that SCOR EDC undertakes, we believe align well and will contribute significantly to Middlesex County’s overall economic development efforts.
SCOR EDC strategic priorities are: • Infrastructure to support economic development • Human Capital - that supports economic development • Sector Development with a focus on agriculture and value added processing
The partnership request has remained the same at $25,000 for the year.
Kindest regards,
Stephen Molnar SCOR EDC Chair

Committee of the Whole
Meeting Date: February 12, 2019 Submitted by: Durk Vanderwerff, Director of Planning SUBJECT: MIDDLESEX CENTRE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. 41; FILE NO. 39T-MC-OPA41; ORIOLE PARK RESORT
BACKGROUND: Oriole Park Resort has applied to amend the Middlesex Centre Official Plan in order to establish a Parks and Recreation Special Policy Area that would permit a Lifestyle Community. Oriole Park Resort is an existing seasonal campground that has been operating for approximately 50 years, and consists of mobile homes, park model trailers, as well as accessory service commercial uses. Currently, the property is designated Parks and Recreation however occupancy is seasonally limited to 11 months of the year whereas Amendment No. 41 would permit 12 month occupancy. The property is located West of Komoka at the southeast corner of Amiens Road and Oxbow Drive, and the surrounding land uses include agriculture and natural areas. The subject lands are serviced privately by communal water and sewage treatment facilities and are accessed via a local municipal road. A portion of the subject lands are regulated by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority. County Council is the Provincially delegated Approval Authority for locally adopted official plan amendments. As such, this report summarizes the proposal and the planning policy context and provides a planning recommendation for Council from the perspective of the Approval Authority. More detailed local planning analysis is provided within the local planning report authored by Kelly Henderson, as provided to Middlesex Centre Council, which is attached. A location map, a copy of Amendment No. 41, and the applicant’s planning report are also attached. February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
ANALYSIS: Amendment No. 41 was adopted by the Municipality of Middlesex Centre on November 28, 2018 and submitted to the County as the Approval Authority. An agency / ministry circulation was not undertaken by the County given the nature of the Amendment however the proposal was discussed with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and a best practices review was undertaken to identify similar proposals in other jurisdictions. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of provincial interest including managing and directing land use to achieve efficient development and land use patterns. More specifically, it speaks to sustaining healthy, livable and safe communities by providing a range and mix of residential housing including affordable housing and housing for older persons. Although the PPS states that municipal sewage and water services are the preferred form of servicing, it also allows for the use of private communal sewage and water services, where Municipal services do not exist, and subject to appropriate engineering and approvals. Similar to the Provincial Policy Statement, the County Official Plan encourages a wide variety of housing types and styles to meet projected demographic and market requirements of current and future residents, including the provision of alternative forms of housing. The County Official Plan also contains a servicing hierarchy that prefers municipal servicing but allows for private communal systems where justified. The subject lands are in a designated ‘Parks and Recreation Area’ within the Middlesex Centre Official Plan. In this regard, the County Official Plan is not intended to prevent the development of areas designated for non-agricultural development in local Official Plans. The Middlesex Centre Official Plan provides more specific criteria to be considered when evaluating official plan amendments, and the Municipality is satisfied that those criteria have been met by Amendment No. 41. The attached local municipal planning report addresses the land use policy documents in further detail. It is noted that the fundamental consideration for this site has been the private communal water and sewage treatment facilities. The existing systems have been operating for some time and the Municipality, through consultation with the owner’s engineer and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks, are satisfied that the change from eleven months to twelve months can be accommodated. There are further technical approvals required (an amendment to an existing MOECP Environmental Compliance Approval in order to account for the 12-month occupancy) however this can appropriately be addressed subsequent to the County considering Amendment No. 41 but before the Zoning By-law Holding provision is removed locally. February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
The County did not receive any written submissions concerning this application. During the local planning process concerns were raised related to site buffering and fencing matters however the Municipality is satisfied that further buffering measures are not required at this time. I have reviewed Amendment No. 41 against the Provincial Policy Statement, the County Official Plan and the Middlesex Centre Official Plan. I am satisfied that Amendment No. 41 is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, conforms to the intent and purpose of the County’s Official Plan and the Municipality’s Official Plan, and represents sound land use planning. I am therefore recommending approval of Official Plan Amendment No. 41, as adopted.
RECOMMENDATION: That Amendment No. 41 to the Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan be approved, and that staff be directed to circulate a Notice of Decision as required by the Planning Act, and that the Notice of Decision indicate that Middlesex County Council did not receive any written submissions concerning this application.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
MHBC has been retained by Oriole Park Resort Ltd. (the ‘Applicant’) to prepare the following Planning Justification Report in support of an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment application with respect to the property addressed as 22790 Amiens Road in the Municipality of Middlesex Centre (County of Middlesex), hereinafter referred to as the “subject lands”. The proposed amendments are required to permit the existing seasonal campground (Oriole Park Resort) on the subject lands to be converted into a lifestyle community (thereby permitting year-round occupancy of mobile homes on the subject lands).
This planning report has been prepared for submission to the Municipality of Middlesex Centre and includes the following:
. An introduction and general description of the subject lands including an overview of the residential community on the property; . A description of the surrounding uses to provide an understanding of the locational context; . A description of the proposed amendments; and . A review of the existing Provincial and Municipal policy framework in relation to the proposed amendments, and an assessment of consistency and conformity with Provincial Policy, the Official Plan and Zoning By-law.
As part of this planning analysis, the following documents were reviewed:
. The Provincial Policy Statement; . County of Middlesex Official Plan; . Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan; and . Middlesex Centre Zoning By-law.
The subject lands comprise an area of 9.83 hectares, and are located along the western perimeter of Middlesex Centre at the southeastern corner of Oxbow Drive and Amiens Road. As noted, there is an existing seasonal campground on the property which contains individual lots for mobile homes. At present, residents inhabit their dwellings up to 11 months of the year and are required to vacate these units over the month of February.
This report supports the planning application and assesses the proposal in the context of the applicable planning framework.

February 19, 2019 Page 16 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
1.2 Basis of the Applications
The purpose of the proposed amendments, which are described in detail under Section 4.0 of this Report, is to allow Oriole Park Resort to operate on a year-round basis. This residential development currently operates as a seasonal campground with occupancy 11 months of the year. Through an amendment to the Middlesex Centre Official Plan, we are proposing to add a new definition for a Lifestyle Community which would facilitate the conversion of the seasonal campground to a permanent residential community. This proposal does not involve any site alteration or new development. The existing use of the site will remain unchanged, save for the amount of time the use will occur on the subject lands.
The approach for the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) is to add a Special Policy Area to the subject lands which would permit a Lifestyle Community to facilitate year-round, or permanent, occupation of mobile homes on the property.
With respect to the Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA), the property is zoned Parks and Recreation with a special provision (Exception) applied to permit a campground and park uses. The requested rezoning would amend this Exception to permit year-round occupation of the campground as defined in the Zoning By-law.

3.0 Description of the Proposal
The Applicant is seeking permission to provide year-round occupancy to current and future residents of Oriole Park Resort in order to offer additional residential services and respond to changing market conditions. This modification to site operations would allow seasonal camping sites to be replaced with permanent sites intended for mobile homes. Conversion of the campground from 11 months to a year-round Lifestyle Community would not require any additional development or site alteration.
Azimuth Engineering (Azimuth) has prepared a Servicing Brief in support of this application. As summarized in the Brief, Azimuth has concluded that the private water and wastewater facilities servicing the site have sufficient capacity to accommodate year-round occupation of the property.
The subject lands are currently designated Agricultural Areas in the County of Middlesex Official Plan, Parks and Recreation in the Middlesex Centre Official Plan, and zoned Parks and Recreation (PR-3 (h-7)) in the Middlesex Centre Zoning By-law.
The purpose of this Report is to provide the Municipality with planning rationale to support amendments to the Middlesex Centre Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw. Respectively, the following amendments are proposed in conjunction with this proposal:
Create a Special Policy Area under Section 11.0 of the Official Plan which would permit the subject lands to be used as a Lifestyle Community. For the purposes of the Official Plan, Lifestyle Communities would allow for year-round occupation of mobile homes on the subject lands; and
Amend Section 23.3.3 of the Zoning By-law to permit the occupation of mobile homes on a year-round basis on the subject lands.
The discussion to follow details the specific amendment requests to the Middlesex Centre Official Plan and Zoning By-law.

4.0 Planning Analysis
In light of the requested amendments which are described in detail under Section 4.0 of this report, the following discussion details how the applications comply with the Provincial Policy Statement, the County of Middlesex Official Plan, and the Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan.
4.1 Provincial Policy Statement, 2014
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land in Ontario. The 2014 PPS was issued under the authority of Section 3 of the Planning Act and came into effect on April 30, 2014.
Section 3(5) of the Planning Act requires that all decisions affecting planning matters shall be consistent with policy statements issued under the Act. The following table demonstrates how the proposal is consistent with the policies of the 2014 PPS that, in our opinion, are of particular relevance.

Mitigative measures and/or alternative development approaches may be required in order to protect, improve or restore sensitive surface water features, sensitive ground water features, and their hydrologic functions.
In light of these considerations and our broader evaluation of the Provincial Policy Statement, it is our opinion that the proposal satisfies, and is consistent with, the policies of the PPS.
4.2 County of Middlesex Official Plan
4.2.1 Overview
The County of Middlesex Official Plan (Middlesex Official Plan) was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on December 17, 1999 and was amended by Official Plan Amendment No. 2 on July 11, 2006. The Middlesex Official Plan provides the overall land use policy direction for the County of Middlesex and the various settlement areas. Sections 1.0 through 4.0 of this Plan contain general policies related to land use development.
June 2018 MHBC | 10
February 19, 2019 Page 25 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
The subject lands are designated ‘Agricultural Area’ on Schedule ‘A’ (Land Use), as illustrated on Figure 3. Additionally, the subject lands contain Significant Woodlands along a portion of the northern perimeter as identified on Schedule ‘C’ (Natural Heritage Features).
Figure 3: County of Middlesex Official Plan – Schedule A
Subject Lands
N
4.2.2 Agricultural Areas
Section 3.3 of the Middlesex Official Plan provides policy direction for lands designated Agricultural Areas. Section 3.3.1 notes that:
“The purpose of the Agricultural Areas designation is to protect and strengthen the agricultural community, a major economic component within the County, while recognizing the potential for a limited amount of development in existing locally designated hamlets. The Agricultural Areas policies protect agricultural lands from the intrusion of land uses that are not compatible with agricultural operations.”
Despite being located within the Agricultural Area, the subject lands are not used for agricultural purposes, and are designated Parks and Recreation under the Middlesex Centre Official Plan, as discussed in Section 3.3 of this Report. In our opinion, the existing use of the subject lands is compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses to the south and west. Further, the
June 2018 MHBC | 11
February 19, 2019 Page 26 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
campground on the subject lands is self-contained, and will not intrude into the surrounding agricultural areas.
General policies for this designation are provided under Section 3.3.2, as follows:
“It is the policy of County Council that the Agricultural Area in Middlesex County shall be preserved and strengthened with the goal of sustaining the agricultural industry that is so vital to the Middlesex economy.”
The proposal to facilitate a permanent residential community on the subject lands will not hinder the preservation of agricultural lands in the County. The subject lands have been used as a campground for over 50 years, and are not well-suited for agriculture due to their size, and siting adjacent to protected Natural Heritage features. Accordingly, in our opinion, permitting the existing campground use to operate on a permanent, year-round basis would not conflict with surrounding agricultural lands or the broader goals of the Agricultural Area designation.
4.2.3 Housing and Land Use Policies
Section 2.3.7 (Housing Policies) of the Middlesex Official Plan directs that, “…it is the policy of the County to encourage a wide variety of housing by type, size and tenure to meet projected demographic and market requirements of current and future residents of the County.”
Establishing a permanent residential community on the subject lands by permitting year-round occupation of mobile homes promotes housing choice to meet the needs of current and future residents of the County. Further, the conversion of the subject lands to a Lifestyle Community will diversify the types, and sizes of permanent housing options within the County.
4.2.4 Natural Heritage Features
Schedule C (Natural Heritage Features) of the Middlesex Official Plan identifies a Significant Woodlands feature along Oxbow Drive at the northern perimeter of the subject lands (refer to Figure 4).
June 2018 MHBC | 12
February 19, 2019 Page 27 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
Figure 4: Middlesex County Official Plan Schedule C
Subject Lands
N
Table 1 under Section 2.3.10 of the Middlesex Official Plan requires that development within 50 metres of a Significant Woodlands feature requires the completion of a Development Assessment Report (DAR). This proposal will not involve any site alteration or new development, as the intent of the OPA and ZBA applications is only to convert Oriole Park Resort to a year-round campground. The Significant Woodlands feature on the subject lands does not contain any development forms, and the proposal will not result in any further development in proximity of this feature at this time. Accordingly, it is our opinion that a DAR is not warranted in conjunction with this proposal.
4.2.5 Servicing Hierarchy
Under Section 2.4.5 of the Middlesex Official Plan it is stated that the County promotes “Efficient and environmentally responsible development which is supportable on the basis of appropriate types and levels of water supply and sewage disposal”. General policies relating to services are set out in Section 2.4.5.1 of the Plan. Of particular relevance to this proposal are subsections d), and g) as follows:
June 2018 MHBC | 13
February 19, 2019 Page 28 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
2.4.5.1 General Policies
The County shall:
“d) Cooperate with local municipalities, the Province and other public and/or private partners to negotiate innovative arrangements for the provision of water and sanitary sewage systems in the County;
g) Encourage the proper maintenance of private sewage treatment systems in the County in order to protect and improve ground and surface water quality and avoid system malfunctions and failures;”
The Applicant has consulted with County staff and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (MOECC) to advance this conversion proposal. Through discussion between these parties it was agreed that the subject lands could be serviced by the existing communal system on a year-round basis, provided that sufficient financial assurance is provided to the Ministry. In our opinion, this approach represents a practical and innovative arrangement to ensure the provision of private water and sewage systems to the Resort.
Additionally, the Servicing Brief which has been prepared for this application addresses the operational and maintenance program in place to minimize the potential for system malfunctions and failures.
4.2.6 Conclusion
Based on an assessment of policy set out within the County of Middlesex Official Plan, it is our opinion that the proposal conforms to the overall land use policy direction of this Plan. In this regard, the proposal is compatible with, and will not be detrimental to the surrounding agricultural uses. The proposal also supports the objective of the County to promote housing choice to meet projected demographic and market requirements. Regarding the natural heritage features on the subject lands, the proposal will not result in any new development or site alteration at this time. Accordingly, the proposal will not impact these features. Finally, the servicing arrangement developed to facilitate the year-round occupancy on the Site is supported in principle by the MOECC.
4.3 Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan
The Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan (Middlesex Centre Official Plan) was approved on July 9, 2002, with modifications by the County of Middlesex and changes pursuant to an Ontario Municipal Board Order. The Office Consolidation of the Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan, dated September 29, 2017, integrates several amendments.
June 2018 MHBC | 14
February 19, 2019 Page 29 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
Section 1.5 of the Middlesex Centre Official Plan specifies that “The Municipality of Middlesex Centre Official Plan is required to conform to the County of Middlesex Official Plan,” and “Whereas the County Plan contains broad policies involving County responsibilities and Provincial interests, the Official Plan of the Municipality of Middlesex Centre is intended to address local issues, unique characteristics, and special objectives and goals of the local municipality.”
Furthermore, Section 1.7 of the Plan outlines that, “It is the intent of this Official Plan to apply the broad concept of traditional town and country planning as a general guide in the establishment of overall Official Plan principles.” Several general principles are defined in this Section to guide the policy direction of the Plan, including the following which have relevance to this proposal:
“a) To establish as a key priority of this Plan, the protection of agricultural areas for agricultural and resource uses, and enhance the agricultural economy within the Municipality.
f) To manage growth and change in an appropriate manner and in appropriate locations, with the intent of maintaining the positive physical character and attributes that Municipal residents currently enjoy.
h) To promote efficient, cost effective development and land use patterns to minimize land consumption, reduce servicing costs and encourage intensification.
i) To provide an adequate supply and diversity of housing types in appropriate locations within settlement areas.”
The discussion to follow demonstrates how the proposal is in keeping with the intent of the general principles noted above.
The subject lands are designated Parks and Recreation on Schedule ‘A-8’ with a portion of land along the northern perimeter designated Natural Environment. Additionally, portions of land along the northern and western perimeters contain a Hazard Lands overlay. The designations applying to the subject lands are shown on Figure 5.

Subject Lands
N
4.3.1 Residential Policies
Section 5.2 of the Middlesex Centre Official Plan sets out general policy objectives for residential activities within Urban and Community Settlement Areas, as well as designated Hamlets. The subject lands are located in proximity to the Komoka Settlement Area, and are approximately 450 metres north of the current Settlement Area Boundary. Notwithstanding that the subject lands are not located within a Community Settlement Area or Hamlet, the following subsections have particular relevance to this proposal as they relate to housing in the Middlesex Centre:
“a) The Municipality will provide and encourage a wide variety of housing types, sizes and tenures to meet demographic and market requirements for the Municipality’s current and future residents.”
The proposal will provide an alternative form of housing which will support the Municipality’s goal to offer a diversity of housing choice to meet the requirements of current and future residents from a demographic and market perspective.
“g) The Municipality shall encourage housing accessible to lower and moderate income households. In this regard the County of Middlesex through its Official Plan will require that 20 percent of all housing be affordable. In the case of ownership housing the least expensive is considered to be housing for which the purchase price is at least 10 percent below the average purchase price of a resale unit in the regional market area. This
June 2018 MHBC | 16
February 19, 2019 Page 31 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
‘benchmark’ purchase price figure for 2005 is $195,845 in the Middlesex regional market area. This ‘benchmark’ figure will change over time as a result of fluctuating mortgage costs, utility rates, and the vagaries of the housing market over which the County of Middlesex and the Municipality have no control. The County will; however, monitor the ‘benchmark” on an annual basis.”
The proposal will provide an alternative form of housing which is accessible to lower and moderate income households. Mobile homes are generally more affordable than more conventional forms of housing. Accordingly, the proposal to establish Oriole Park Resort as a permanent residential community supports the above-noted objective.
4.3.2 Parks and Recreation Policies
Section 8.0 provides the policy direction for the Parks and Recreation designation. Goals and objectives of this designation, which are relevant to this proposal are identified as follows:
“b) To ensure that recreational development will not interfere or conflict with the agricultural land use activities of the Municipality.”
As noted in Section 2.0 of this Report, the subject lands have been utilized for campground activities for over 50 years. As a result of their size and location proximate to natural heritage features, these lands are not suitable to be used for agricultural purposes. In addition, the existing mobile home campground does not interfere with the normal farm practices of adjacent agricultural operations. Accordingly, in our opinion, establishing a year-round Lifestyle Community on the subject lands would not conflict with surrounding agricultural land use activities.
“c) To promote parks and recreational design that is sensitive to the physical characteristics and natural features of their respective sites, and the traditional character of the related settlement areas.”
There is a woodlot feature along the northern portion of the subject lands which is discussed above under Section 3.2.4 of this Report, and further under Section 3.3.5 below. This feature is not impacted by the existing use of the site and, as noted, the proposal will not involve any development or site alteration at this time. Accordingly, the proposal will result in the continuation of a Parks and Recreation use on the subject lands in a manner that is sensitive to the surrounding natural features.
Section 8.3 of the Middlesex Centre Official Plan defines the permitted uses in the Parks and Recreation designation as follows:
“a) Public and private parks and open space areas. b) Public and private recreation areas, including golf courses and campgrounds. c) Conservation areas, including uses identified in a conservation area master plan. d) Provincial parks, including uses identified in a parks master plan prepared by the Province.
June 2018 MHBC | 17
February 19, 2019 Page 32 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
e) The existing race track in the former Township of Delaware, known as the Delaware Speedway Park. This use and appropriate accessory uses will continue to be permitted; however, proposals to expand the land area associated with this use will be discouraged.”
In light of these permissions, the existing campground is permitted under the Official Plan. However, an amendment is required to add a Special Policy Area provision to permit a year-round Lifestyle Community on the site. By applying a Special Policy Area to the Parks and Recreation designation on the subject lands, a distinction is established between a conventional residential development, and the type of residential community that is proposed through this application.
It is recognized that the proposed amendment is to address a unique situation that may not be appropriate in other areas of the Municipality. Accordingly, the proposed Special Policy Area is site-specific and would not establish a mechanism for similar use types to be permitted as-of- right throughout the Municipality. The appropriateness of this use for the subject lands has been discussed throughout this Report, and is evaluated in further detail in the sections to follow.
4.3.3 Municipal Infrastructure and Servicing Policies
Section 9.3.2 sets out the policies relating to servicing in non-settlement areas. Subsection a) prescribes that:
“The principal means of sewage disposal in agricultural areas of the Municipality is the septic tank and weeping tile system. It is anticipated that such systems will continue to be the principal means of sewage disposal outside of settlements in the foreseeable future, however the consideration of alternative and improved technologies is encouraged. The installation of septic systems is subject to the approval of the authority having jurisdiction.”
The proposal is facilitated by an existing communal treatment system which is an approved, alternative technology to the septic tank and weeping tile system. Accordingly, the proposal is consistent with the direction of the municipality noted in this policy. The Servicing Brief prepared in conjunction with this application describes the communal system, and how it is an appropriate and acceptable means to service the subject lands on a year-round basis.
4.3.4 Natural Heritage
Schedule ‘B’ (Greenlands System) of the Middlesex Centre Official Plan delineates Significant Natural Features within the Municipality (refer to Figure 6). The subject lands contain Significant Woodlands along the northern perimeter adjacent to Oxbow Drive.
According to Section 3.4 of the Plan “....it is the policy of this Plan that development or site alterations within or on lands adjacent to the environmental features, save and except for those uses included in Section 3.5, shall be subject to completion of a Development Assessment Report acceptable to the Municipality.”

Figure 6: Middlesex Centre Official Plan Schedule B
N
Subject Lands
In addition, Schedule ‘C’ (Natural Hazard Lands) of the Plan identifies Hazard Lands along the northern and western perimeters of the subject lands. Natural hazard lands relate to either slope hazard or fill line conditions (refer to Figure 7). According to Section 3.7 “…alternative developments or site alterations proposed within such lands will be subject to the completion of a Development Assessment Report (DAR) acceptable to the Municipality and the applicable Conservation Authority(ies).” Additionally, Schedule ‘C’ identifies a pond feature in the middle of the subject lands. This feature was a large, artificial swimming area that no longer exists on the site.
The purpose of the application, as noted, is to extend the amount of time the existing use of the site operates from 11 months, to year-round. Development or site alteration is not proposed in conjunction with the proposal. The current use of the site does not impact the natural features noted above. Accordingly, it is our opinion that a DAR is not necessary for the application in support of the proposal.

4.3.5 Implementation
Section 10.1 of the Middlesex Centre Official Plan sets out the criteria that must be met to amend the Plan. As noted, the basis of the proposed OPA is to allow for year-round occupation on the subject lands as a Lifestyle Community. Justification for the proposed amendment has been provided throughout this Report, however, a detailed response to each criterion listed under Section 10.1 is provided below.
“a) Does the proposed amendment relate, and conform to the vision for the Municipality of Middlesex Centre?”
The proposed amendment relates and conforms to the vision for the Municipality as it facilitates a form of housing tenure which will increase the variety, size and type of housing provided in a manner that is accessible to lower and moderate income households. Additionally, the amendment will facilitate an efficient, cost effective land use pattern as it will allow for permanent residency on lands with existing communal servicing.
“b) Is there a demonstrated need or justification for the proposed change?”
There is a demonstrated need and justification for the proposed change. As discussed, the subject lands currently operate as a seasonal mobile home campground on an 11 month basis. This proposal is seeking to convert Oriole Park Resort to a year-round Lifestyle Community to meet the needs of existing and future residents. In effect, the subject lands currently function as a permanent settlement. Accordingly, the proposed change is required to formalize this arrangement.
June 2018 MHBC | 20
February 19, 2019 Page 35 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
Further, as demonstrated in the Servicing Brief, the communal treatment system which currently services the subject lands can adequately and justifiably service the site year-round. As noted above, the proposal also conforms to the vision of the Municipality as it will facilitate housing choice that is accessible to lower and moderate income households.
“c) Is the amendment in keeping with Provincial and County policy?”
Regarding Provincial policy, the amendment makes efficient use of the subject lands by providing an affordable form of housing. This will contribute to an appropriate range and mix of housing in the County of Middlesex. Additionally, the amendment is based upon the use of communal sewage services and private communal water services which is consistent with the direction of the PPS, where municipal services are not available.
The amendment also conforms with County policy in light of the following considerations:
. The proposed Lifestyle Community is compatible with, and will not impact upon surrounding agricultural uses.
. The proposal supports the objective of the County to promote a variety of housing types to meet projected demographic and market requirements of current and future residents. Further, the proposal will diversify the types, and sizes of available housing options within the County.
. Regarding the natural features on the subject lands, the proposal will not impact upon natural heritage features as no new development or site alteration is planned at this time in conjunction with the Lifestyle Community.
. Oriole Park Resort is serviced by communal water/wastewater treatment facilities consistent with the County’s direction for servicing non-settlement areas.
“d) What are the effects of the proposed change on the demand for Municipal services, infrastructure and facilities?”
The proposed change will have no impact on the demand for Municipal services as the subject lands are, and will continue to be, serviced by private communal treatment systems. The Servicing Report prepared in conjunction with this application has confirmed that the existing water/wastewater servicing facilities can accommodate year-round occupancy of the Resort. Moreover, establishing a Lifestyle Community on the site should not increase the requirements for municipal infrastructure or facilities currently servicing the property and its residents.
“e) Can the lands affected by the application be adequately serviced to accommodate the proposed development? Are improvements necessary to adequately service the lands in question?”
June 2018 MHBC | 21
February 19, 2019 Page 36 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
As noted in the Servicing Brief which accompanies this application, the communal system which currently services the subject lands for 11 months of the year can adequately service the existing use of the site on a year-round basis. Improvements are not necessary to facilitate the proposal.
“f) What impacts will the proposed development have on surrounding land uses, traffic systems, infrastructure and servicing, settlement or Municipal character, features or structures of cultural heritage importance, and natural environment features? Can negative impacts be mitigated or eliminated?”
As discussed, with approval of this application the campground on the subject lands will continue to operate in accordance with existing practices. The only change will be the length of use of the property (i.e., 11 months to year-round occupancy). Accordingly, in our opinion, the proposal will have no impact on the surrounding land uses, traffic system and other items noted above. As the subject lands will not be altered, and no new development is proposed at this time, the proposal will not impact upon the municipal character or any surrounding natural heritage features. There are no structures of cultural heritage importance on, or in close proximity to the subject lands.
4.3.6 Conclusion
It is our opinion that the proposal conforms to overall land use policy direction set out in the Middlesex Centre Official Plan. In this regard, the proposal would provide housing for low and moderate income households while diversifying the type and size of housing available in the Municipality. The communal treatment system which currently services the subject lands can adequately and safely service the property on a year-round basis. This represents an alternative and approved servicing technology which is promoted in non-settlement areas. Additionally, as no site alteration or new development is proposed at this time, the proposal will not impact upon the surrounding natural heritage features or agricultural uses.
4.4 Middlesex Centre Zoning By-law
The subject lands are zoned Parks and Recreation (PR-3 (h-7)) pursuant to Schedule ‘A’ of the Middlesex Centre Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2005-005 (refer to Figure 8). Section 22.3.3 (b) of the Zoning By-law (ZBL) prescribes that the ‘3’ Exception applied to the site permits the following specific uses on the subject lands:
. Campground . Park, public or private
The definition of campground in the ZBL is as follows:
“2.30 CAMPGROUND means the use of land, buildings, or structures, and comprising land used for seasonal recreational activity as grounds for camping including the parking of tents, motor homes, travel trailers, or truck campers, and the erection of park model trailers and mobile homes and may include administrative offices, a laundromat and a June 2018 MHBC | 22

private park which is licenced under the provisions of the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25. For the purposes of the definition of CAMPGROUND, seasonal shall mean not year- round.”
To permit year-round occupation of the mobile homes on the subject lands, in accordance with the requested Official Plan amendment discussed below under Section 4.1 of this Report, an amendment to the existing Exception is requested under Section 23.3.3 (b) Permitted Uses. The nature of this amendment is discussed in greater detail under Section 4.2 of this Report.
The ‘h-7’ holding provision applying to the subject lands relates to development within within 30.5 metres of the Oxbow Road streetline; and within 13.4 metres of the Amiens Road streetline.
As stated in Section 23.3.3 (c) of the ZBL, the h-7 symbol shall not be removed until:
“EITHER a 9.2 metre wide band of “dense forest” OR an “evergreen vegetative barrier” of 3.1 metre minimum height is provided along the Oxbow Road streetline and the Amiens Road streetline. It being noted that:
Each road is independent of the other for development to take place …”
As the proposal does not involve any development on the site, or site alteration at this time, the holding provision is not applicable to this amendment. Should additional development be proposed on the subject lands in the future within the prescribed distances to these roads, the conditions to remove the holding symbol will need to be satisfied.
Additionally, Section 21.2.1 of the By-law states that where campgrounds are a permitted use in the PR zone, the following provisions apply:
. A minimum front yard setback and a minimum exterior side yard setback of 6.0 metres (19.8 ft) with respect to the location of any park model trailer or mobile home; and . A minimum side yard setback and a minimum rear yard setback of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) with respect to the location of any park model trailer or mobile home.
Based upon our assessment of the existing campground arrangement, the mobile homes on the subject lands comply with these regulations.
Further to the provisions and holding symbol related to the campground noted above, a portion of the subject lands along the western and northern perimeters of the property contains a ‘Hazard Lands’ overlay as identified on Key Map: U-12 of the Zoning By-law. Under the definition of ‘Hazard Lands,’
“...no buildings or structures, with the exception of those designed, used or intended for flood or erosion control purposes, shall be erected or used on lands which exhibit a hazardous condition as a result of instability, susceptibility to flooding, erosion, subsidence, inundation,
June 2018 MHBC | 23
February 19, 2019 Page 38 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
or the presence of organic soils or steep slopes unless a permit has been obtained by the conservation authority having jurisdiction.”
Notwithstanding, it is noted in the ZBL that the extent of such lands is approximate. Mapping obtained from the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority which is of greater accuracy, does not identify any hazards on the subject lands (refer to Appendix A). Additionally, there is currently no development within the aforementioned ‘Hazard Lands’ overlay and no development or site alteration is proposed in conjunction with this application. As a result, it is our opinion that this policy is not applicable to the proposal.
The existing zoning on the subject lands is shown below under Figure 8.

5.0 Proposed Amendments
5.1 Overview of Official Plan Amendment
The proposed amendment to the Middlesex Centre Official Plan would add a Special Policy Area to Schedule A-2 (Komoka-Kilworth Urban Settlement Area & Secondary Plan), and add a corresponding Special Policy under Section 11.0 (Special Policy Areas) of the Official Plan.
Figure 9: Proposed Official Plan Special Policy Area
SPA #__

The County of Wellington has incorporated a special policy in its Official Plan to accommodate an ‘adult lifestyle community’ as a precedent for this type of amendment. The Special Policy was added to facilitate conversion of the Mini Lakes campground in the Township of Puslinch from a seasonal family campground to an adult lifestyle community. The conversion resulted in occupancy being extended from nine months a year to year-round.
The following Special Policy Area (SPA) provision was developed for the Oriole Park Resort based upon the policy structure approved by the County of Wellington:
June 2018 MHBC | 25
February 19, 2019 Page 40 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
“The following policies apply to the Oriole Park Resort development located at 22790 Amiens Road and identified on Schedule A-2 of this Plan as policy area SPA__.
a) The land designated SPA__ may be used for a Lifestyle Community consisting of dwelling units, recreational facilities, limited accessory commercial facilities and private community facilities such as halls and administrative services.
b) All services within the area designated SPA__, with the exception of emergency services, shall be provided by the owners. All internal roads shall be constructed and maintained to provide adequate access for emergency services.”
By applying a SPA to the Parks and Recreation designation, a distinction is defined between a conventional residential development and a Lifestyle Community. The Residential designation does not permit mobile homes or mobile home parks. Accordingly, by maintaining the Parks and Recreation designation, the policy direction of the Residential designation is upheld.
It is recognized that the circumstances relating to Oriole Park Resort are site-specific and may not be appropriate in other areas of the municipality. Accordingly, the Special Policy Area does not establish a mechanism for similar use types to be permitted as-of-right throughout the Municipality. The appropriateness of this use for the subject lands has been discussed throughout this Report.
5.2 Overview of Zoning By-law Amendment
With respect to zoning, the property is currently zoned Parks and Recreation with Exception 3 (PR- 3) as noted above under Section 3.4 of this report. The Exception permits a campground use and restricts other uses on the subject lands to park, public or private. Campgrounds are further defined in the ZBL as being a seasonal use rather than a year-round use.
To permit year-round occupation of the mobile homes, in accordance with the requested Official Plan amendment described above, an amendment to the existing Exception applying to the subject lands is requested under Section 23.3.3 (b) PERMITTED USES as follows:
“Notwithstanding the definition of Campground under 2.30, which limits the use of mobile homes and park model trailers to seasonal use only, the campground use may permit year-round use of mobile homes and park model trailers, as well as accessory commercial and service commercial uses.
As the existing Exception is proposed to be amended the Zoning Schedule will not be altered.

6.0 Summary and Conclusions
The subject lands have been used as a recreational campground for over 50 years. The proposal to convert the existing campground from 11 month to year-round occupancy will not change the existing use of the site and will not require any servicing improvements, new development or site alteration.
In conclusion, it is our opinion that the amendments to the Middlesex Centre Official Plan and Zoning By-law are appropriate for the subject lands and are consistent with the framework of current planning policy. This assessment is based, in part, on the following considerations:
1. The subject lands are serviced by an existing communal treatment system which can adequately and safely service the site on a year-round basis;
2. The subject lands are well suited for a Lifestyle Community as they already operate in this capacity for 11 months of the year;
3. No site alteration or new development is proposed as part of this application. Accordingly, the proposal will not impact upon the surrounding natural heritage features or agricultural uses;
4. The proposal will diversify the types and sizes of available housing options within the County and Municipality;
5. The proposal is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement;
6. The nature and intent of this proposal is in keeping with the goals, objectives and policy direction of the County of Middlesex Official Plan and the Municipal of Middlesex Centre Official Plan;
7. The proposal will establish an affordable residential community which will be accessible to lower and moderate income households;
8. The Special Policy Area under the Parks and Recreation designation is an appropriate mechanism to implement the proposal as it recognizes the uniqueness of Oriole Park Resort and does not extend permissions to other seasonal campgrounds in the Municipality;
June 2018 MHBC | 27
February 19, 2019 Page 42 of 54 B 2 - CW Action Planning Justification Report, Oriole Park Resort
9. The proposed amendment to the Zoning By-Law will appropriately implement the proposed Official Plan amendment; and
10. The proposal represents good land use planning.

Staff Report
of the site. Currently, occupancy of those uses is only permitted for eleven months of the year.
The purpose and effect of the Zoning By-law Amendment application is to rezone the subject property by modifying the current site-specific Parks and Recreation (PR-3) zoning of the lands to permit the year round occupancy of mobile homes, park model trailers as well as accessory commercial and service commercial uses of the site.
The subject lands currently contain mobile homes, which are permitted to be occupied for eleven months of the year. The Resort contains approximately 163 residential units serviced by communal (private) water and sewage treatment facilitates, and an internal road circulation system. The lands also include a variety of residential amenities including a lounge, entertainment centre, laundromat, parks and a pool.
Although no further physical development is being proposed at this time a layout of the existing development is included as Attachment 2. A Planning Justification report was submitted as part of the application and this is included as Attachment 3. As mentioned the subject property is serviced by communal private services, a servicing brief was submitted as part of the application, which is included as Attachment 4.
The lands are surrounded by agricultural and natural areas with some residential properties. A portion of the subject property is regulated by the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA). Significant Woodlands are identified on the subject property and the property is adjacent to wetlands.
Policy Regulation: The subject lot is designated as ‘Agricultural Area’ by the County of Middlesex Official Plan and as ‘Parks and Recreation’, ‘Natural Environment’ by the Middlesex Centre Official Plan, with ‘Hazard Lands’ identified. The land is zoned Site Specific Parks and Recreation (PR-3) with a Holding Symbol (H7) by Middlesex Centre’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law.
Provincial Policy Statement:
Section 3 of the Planning Act requires all decisions made under the Act “to be consistent with” the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The following PPS policies are relevant to the proposed development and need to be considered when evaluating the subject applications.
2
February 19, 2019 Page 47 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
Staff Report
Section 1.1.1 of the PPS speaks to ‘Healthy Livable and safe communities’ and how they can be sustained. Section 1.1.1b) states that ‘accommodating an appropriate range and mix of residential (including second units, affordable housing and housing for older persons), employment (including industrial and commercial), institutional (including places of worship, cemeteries and long-term care homes), recreation, park and open space, and other uses to meet long-term needs’.
Section 1.4 of the PPS speaks to ‘Housing’ and the requirement ‘to provide for an appropriate range and mix of housing types and densities required to meet projected requirements of current and future residents’.
Section 1.6.6. of the PPS outlines the hierarchy for sewage and water services. Generally, the preferred method of servicing is municipal services, however consideration can be given to private and communal services where appropriate, and where supported by appropriate studies.
The subject property has natural heritage features identified, including Significant Woodlands and Wetlands adjacent to the subject property. Section 2.1 of the PPS speaks to natural heritage systems, and provides a series of policies intended to protect natural heritage features.
Section 2.3 of the PPS speaks to prime agricultural areas and the long-term protection of these areas for agricultural use. Permitted uses within prime agricultural areas include; agricultural uses, agricultural-related uses and on-farm diversified uses. Policy 2.3.6 of the PPS addresses non-agricultural uses in prime agricultural areas. The PPS directs that limited non-residential uses may be permitted within a prime agricultural area subject to evaluation criteria. Section 2.3.6.2 of the PPS states, impacts from any new or expanding non-agricultural uses on surrounding agricultural operations and lands are to be mitigated to the extent feasible. However, the PPS does not provide policy direction specific to the evaluation of changes to existing non-agricultural uses within prime agricultural areas.
Middlesex County’s Official Plan:
The County of Middlesex Official Plan designates the subject property as Agricultural Area. The County Plan recognizes agriculture as the predominant land use and an economic mainstay within the County. The Agricultural policies are intended to protect agricultural lands from the intrusion of land uses that are not compatible with agricultural operations.

Staff Report
Section 4.3 of Middlesex County’s Official Plan speaks to local Official Plans and indicates that the County Official Plan is not intending to prevent the development of areas designated for non-agricultural development in local Official Plans. The County Plan does not specifically address a proposal such as this. Instead, the County Plan leaves atypical proposals to be addressed within local Official Plans and through the local Official Plan Amendment process.
Section 2.3.7 of the County of Middlesex Official Plan speaks to housing policies, and states that, ‘it is the Policy of the County to encourage a wide variety of housing by type, size and tenure to meet projected demographic and market requirements of current and future residents of the County.’
Section 2.3.10 of the County of Middlesex Official Plan speaks to Natural Heritage Features and has similar policies to which are in the PPS.
The County of Middlesex’s Official Plan in section 2.4.5 discusses the servicing hierarchy similar to those discussed in the PPS.
Middlesex Centre’s Official Plan:
The subject property is designated ‘Parks and Recreation’ and ‘Natural Environment’. The designation of the subject lands permits a variety of uses including public and private parks, campgrounds and public and private recreation areas.
Section 3.0 of the Local Official Plan speaks to Natural Areas and Natural Hazard Areas. Section 3.4 states that ‘it is the policy of this Plan that development or site alterations within or on lands adjacent to the environmental features, save and except for those included in Section 3.5, shall be subject to completion of a Development Assessment Report acceptable to the Municipality. Development or site alteration within or adjacent to such features shall be prohibited unless it can be shown that there will be minimal or no impacts on the form or function of such features.’
Section 5.2.1 of Middlesex Centre’s Official Plan speaks to General Residential Policies, section 5.2.1 a) states, ‘The Municipality will provide and encourage a wide variety of housing types, sizes and tenures to meet demographic and market requirements for the Municipality’s current and future residents.

Section 8.0 of the Official Plan speaks to Parks and Recreation Areas. The important policies to note under this section include the following:
b) To ensure recreational development will not interfere or conflict with the agricultural land use activities of the Municipality.
c) To promote parks and recreational design that is sensitive to the physical characteristics and natural features of their respective sites, and the traditional character of the related settlement areas.
Section 8.3 of Middlesex Centre’s Official Plans speaks to permitted uses within Parks and Recreational Areas and identifies the following as permitted uses:
a) Public and private parks and open space areas. b) Public and private recreation areas, including golf courses and campgrounds. c) Conservation areas, including uses identified in a conservation area master plan. d) Provincial parks, including uses identified in a parks master plan prepared by the Province.
Section 9.3 of the Local Official Plan speaks to municipal infrastructure and services policies. These policies have a similar hierarchy as the PPS and the County Official Plan. As it relates to this proposal section 9.3.2.a) states, ‘the principal means of sewage disposal in agricultural areas of the Municipality is the septic tank and weeping tile system. It is anticipated that such systems will continue to be the principal means of sewage disposal outside of settlements in the foreseeable future, however the consideration of alternative and improved technologies is encouraged.’
In Section 10.1 of the Official Plan it is noted that the Plan may be amended upon consideration of all relevant issues relating to the public interest. It is further noted that the Municipality shall give consideration to the following criteria:
a) Does the proposed amendment relate, and conform to the vision for the Municipality of Middlesex Centre? b) Is there a demonstrated need or justification for the proposed change? c) Is the amendment in keeping with the Provincial and County policy? d) What are the effects of the proposed change on the demand for Municipal services, infrastructure and facilities?

e) Can the land affected by the application be adequately serviced to accommodate the proposed development? Are improvements necessary to adequately service the lands in question? f) What impacts will the proposed development have on surrounding land uses, traffic systems, infrastructure and servicing, settlement or Municipal character, features or structures of cultural heritage importance, and natural environment features? Can negative impacts be mitigated or eliminated?
Consultation:
Notice of the application has been circulated to agencies, as well as property owners in accordance to the requirements of the Planning Act.
Public Comments:
At the time of writing the subject report, the following comments were received:
Lee Mann, has reviewed the subject application, and although he is not opposed to 12 month occupancy, but he is concerned with privacy. He has requested that a 7-foot continuous (closed) fence be installed for privacy along the extent of their property boundary, as well as all interior yard lot lines. He would also like to see consideration given to screening along the south lot line of Oriole Park.
Please see Attachment 5 for additional comments from residents of Oriole Park. These comments can be summarized as follows:
• Concerns regarding the adjacent ‘Fernwood’ property, including; property maintenance, berm construction, drainage and etc. • General support for 12 month occupancy.
Please see Attachment 6 for the minutes from the Public Meeting held September 26th 2018.
Agency Comments:
The following comments were received at the time of writing this report;
The Municipality’s Fire Chief, and Director of Corporate Services have reviewed the subject application and have no concerns.

February 19, 2019 Page 51 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
Staff Report
The Municipality’s Director of Public Works and Engineering has reviewed the subject application and has no concerns with the Planning Act applications. This department has also been involved in servicing discussions with the Ministry and the applicants, and at this time have no servicing concerns.
The Municipality’s Chief Building Official has reviewed the subject application, and is in support of both the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment. However there are some items that are still required to be addressed prior to permitting year round occupancy, therefore it is suggested that a holding symbol be added to the property to address a number of technical items. Furthermore, he has been out to the site, and does not believe that any action in regards to a fence is warranted at this time. Lastly, the Municipality should examine their Campground Licensing By-law.
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) has reviewed the subject applications and have no concerns with either the Official Plan Amendment or Zoning By- law Amendment and would note that no works shall occur within the Regulation limit (including site grading, earthworks, alteration, etc.) without a Section 28 permit. Additionally, no fill material is permitted to be placed within the Regulation limit. The area of significant woodlands is also to be protected.
Enbridge has reviewed the subject application and have no concerns with the subject applications.
Analysis:
The PPS, and both the County and Local Official Plans speak to a servicing hierarchy and the preference of new development to be on full municipal services, however each plan does contemplate other forms of servicing. The proposed method of servicing, which is currently in place today is a communal system, that has been discussed both with the Municipality and the Ministry of Environment Conservation and Parks. At this time there are no concerns with the proposed servicing aspect of this development. It has however been identified that Oriole Park will be required to amend their existing Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) in order to change the number of months the park is occupied. There are technical requirements that the property owner will have to satisfy before 12-month occupancy should occur. It is because of this, that the Holding symbol is recommended to be placed on the zoning of the property.
The Provincial Policy Statement and County Official Plan indicate that lands designated as agricultural areas may be used for limited non-residential and non-agricultural uses, subject to evaluation criteria. The local Official Plan supports the use of the subject lands
7
February 19, 2019 Page 52 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
Staff Report
for parks and recreation activities. Staff have evaluated the proposed uses with respect to the evaluation criteria outlined within the Municipality’s Official Plan. It is the opinion of staff that the lands have been historically used for non-agricultural purposes, including a campground, and as such, the subject lands appear to be suitable for the uses proposed, as agricultural lands, natural heritage features and ground water resources should not be further impacted. It is important to note that the subject lands have been used as a campground for several years, and appears to be compatible with the surrounding agricultural uses, furthermore, the applications are only addressing the length of stay of the residents, and not permitting a new non-agricultural use on the lands.
As mentioned the subject property contains and is adjacent to natural heritage features. At this time there is no further physical development proposed, and therefore there are no concerns with the proposed application moving forward with occupancy for 12 months vs the already permitted 11 month occupancy.
As mentioned above the Middlesex Centre Official Plan requires the following criteria to be examined when entertaining an Official Plan Amendment:
a) Does the proposed amendment relate, and conform to the vision for the Municipality of Middlesex Centre?
The proposed amendment supports the Municipality’s vision of providing a variety of housing types for current and future residents, as well as using resources wisely in terms of utilizing the existing communal services that are currently only functioning for 11 months, vs the proposed 12 month occupancy.
b) Is there a demonstrated need or justification for the proposed change?
The subject lands currently operate as a seasonal mobile park, with occupancy limited to 11 months. The proposal is to add an additional 1 month to occupancy, which will permit the residence to remain year round and function as a permanent residence. The proposal is justified by permitting current and future residents to remain in the park year round, without the requirement of leaving for a month. Furthermore, the servicing of the site is apparently adequate to accommodate the proposed year round occupancy, and as previously mentioned this will provide another form of housing to the future and current residents of the Municipality.
c) Is the amendment in keeping with the Provincial and County policy?
8
February 19, 2019 Page 53 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
Staff Report
Planning staff are of the opinion that the proposal is generally consistent with the policies of the PPS, as the application proposes to amend the zoning of an existing, legally established, non-agricultural use. The use appears to have achieved an acceptable measure of compatibility with surrounding agricultural land uses and would not further hinder existing agricultural operations. Furthermore, no additional land is being removed from agricultural production.
The proposed development conforms to the PPS, as the proposal is contributing to a variety of housing types, accommodated by communal services, which is a supported form of servicing under the PPS when full municipal services are not available.
The proposed amendment also conforms to the County of Middlesex Official Plan, as the proposal will provide another form of housing, which will be serviced by communal services, and will not impact adjacent natural features, as there is no proposed new physical development.
d) What are the effects of the proposed change on the demand for Municipal services, infrastructure and facilities?
The subject property will continue to be serviced by the communal services, as discussed in the Servicing Brief. The Servicing Brief concluded that the existing communal services can accommodate year-round occupancy. It is not anticipated that moving from 11 month occupancy to 12 month occupancy will increase the requirement for any Municipal infrastructure.
e) Can the land affected by the application be adequately serviced to accommodate the proposed development? Are improvements necessary to adequately service the lands in question?
As discussed in the Servicing Brief no upgrades are required to the current communal system, and the system can accommodate the proposed development. However it has been identified that Oriole Park will be required to amend their existing Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) in order to change the number of months the park is occupied.
f) What impacts will the proposed development have on surrounding land uses, traffic systems, infrastructure and servicing, settlement or Municipal character, features or structures of cultural heritage importance, and natural environment features? Can negative impacts be mitigated or eliminated

February 19, 2019 Page 54 of 54 B 2 - CW Action
Staff Report
As mentioned there is no proposed further physical development as this time, and the application is seeking to move from 11 month occupancy to 12 month occupancy, therefore there is no anticipated impact on surrounding land uses, infrastructure, traffic, municipal character and/or natural features. The property is subject to site plan control, and therefore if further development is proposed an application for site plan approval will be required.
In terms of the comments received in regards to the request for further buffering, Planning and Building staff have been out to examine the site and are of the opinion that further buffering is not warranted, as the proposed increase in occupancy should not have a detrimental impact on the adjacent agricultural property.
Planning staff are in support of the applications, as staff find the applications to be generally consistent with the PPS, and in conformity with the County and Local Official Plan, however staff are recommending that a Holding Symbol (H) remain on the property to ensure the site plan review process addressing the issues outlined under Section 41 of the Planning Act, as amended is undertaken, and a number of technical issues are addressed including the upgrades to the Park Model Trailers, and servicing requirements. Furthermore, the Municipality should examine their Campground Licensing By-law.
Given the above, planning staff are recommending that the zoning by-law amendment application be amended to include a Holding Symbol (H) in order to ensure a number of technical issues have been addressed. Additionally, Planning Staff are recommending that the following definition be added to the Zoning By-law;
Lifestyle Community: shall mean the use of land, buildings or structures designed, used, or intended for residential purposes, including the locating, keeping or maintaining of any cabin, mobile home, modular home, and is suitable for year-round occupancy, and where common areas and facilities may be provided including a retail store, laundromat and recreation facilities for on-site residents, including an administration building.
Additionally, planning staff recommend that the Official Plan Amendment be adopted as proposed and be forwarded to the County of Middlesex for consideration.
Financial Implications: None.

Committee of the Whole
Meeting Date: February 12, 2019 Submitted by: Durk Vanderwerff, Director of Planning Subject: PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT OF TREE CANOPY AND NATURAL VEGETATION POLICY
BACKGROUND: Section 270(1) (7) of the Municipal Act requires that the County adopt and maintain policies with respect to “the manner in which the municipality will protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation in the municipality”. The attached draft Protection and Enhancement of Tree Canopy and Natural Vegetation Policy (Legislative Policy 4.01) has been developed to satisfy the County’s requirements under the Municipal Act by summarizing the County’s initiatives that protect and enhance tree canopy and natural vegetation. ANALYSIS: The County has undertaken a number of initiatives that, cumulatively, protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the County. The initiatives include completing the Middlesex Natural Heritage System Study, having a County Official Plan that protects and enhances the tree canopy and natural vegetation, considering the potential impact on the tree canopy and natural vegetation when planning decisions are made, actively enforcing the County’s Woodlands Conservation By-law No. 5738, and sustainably managing the County-owned Forest. The attached draft policy satisfies the County’s requirements under the Municipal Act. The policy also serves to summarize and consolidate into one document the County’s initiatives and existing decisions. For example, County Council has previously adopted ‘no net loss’ and ‘woodlands capital’ policies by motion, both of which are included in this policy document. This draft policy applies to the activities of the County of Middlesex. In addition, this policy could be utilized by local municipalities within the County to satisfy their requirements under Section 270 (1)(7) of the Municipal Act should they choose to. February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 7 B 3 - CW Action
RECOMMENDATION: That the Protection and Enhancement of Tree Canopy and Natural Vegetation Policy (Legislative Policy 4.01) be approved and added to the Corporate Policy Manual. Attachment

Subject: PROTECTION AND ENHANCEMENT OF TREE CANOPY AND NATURAL VEGETATION Scope: MIDDLESEX COUNTY Issued: March 12, 2019 (draft) Revised:
Purpose: Section 270(1)(7) of the Municipal Act requires that the County adopt and maintain policies with respect to “The manner in which the municipality will protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation in the municipality.”. This policy provides a framework for the County of Middlesex to protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the County. Policy: This policy applies to the Corporation of the County of Middlesex. Procedure: The County of Middlesex has undertaken a number of initiatives that, cumulatively, protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the County. Middlesex Natural Heritage Systems Study The County, in partnership with the five conservation authorities, completed the Middlesex Natural Heritage System Study which on a landscape basis identifies the Natural Heritage System within the County. The Study revealed that 20 percent of the County is naturally vegetated with woodlands being by far the largest component of the Natural Heritage System. The Middlesex Natural Heritage System Study provides the base science to support natural heritage planning within the County including the protection and enhancement of the tree canopy and natural vegetation. County Council has endorsed in principle the Middlesex Natural Heritage System Study.

______Middlesex County Official Plan The Middlesex County Official Plan guides the County in land use policy and physical planning and establishes an upper tier policy framework for all land use planning decisions within the County. The County Official Plan reinforces the value of integrating land use issues and enabling development on an environmentally sustainable basis so that the needs of today do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The County Official Plan protects and enhances the tree canopy and natural vegetation of the County by seeking to protect the natural heritage system. This includes, where directed by land use planning policy, the requirement for the completion of Development Assessment Reports in support of development applications that may have an impact on the tree canopy and natural vegetation. Decisions under the Planning Act County Council is the Provincially delegated Approval Authority for local official plans, official plan amendments, plans of subdivision and plans of condominium. When decisions are made concerning such matters, the potential impact on the County’s Natural Heritage System, including the tree canopy and natural vegetation, is considered and opportunities for enhancement are examined. The County undertakes this activity working with our partners including local municipalities, the conservation authorities, the Province of Ontario, and others. This includes, where directed by land use planning policy, the requirement for the completion of Development Assessment Reports in support of development applications that may have an impact on the tree canopy and natural vegetation. Woodlands Conservation By-law The County’s Woodlands Conservation By-law No. 5738, passed under Section 135 of the Municipal Act, regulates the destruction or injuring of trees within woodlands on private property to prevent deforestation, overharvesting and to promote good forestry practices. The By-law provides for selective cutting / commercial timber harvest within regulated woodlands under either Good Forestry or Circumference Limit practices. The County’s Woodlands Conservation Officer, appointed by County Council, actively administers and enforces the By‐ Law.

Legislative Policy 4.01
______The Woodlands Conservation By-law No. 5738 provides exemptions for certain activities that can cause the destruction of trees, including but not limited to a licensed aggregate pit or quarry, municipal drain maintenance, and where County Council approves a ‘Council Exemption’. In considering ‘Council Exemption’ applications, the public and agencies are consulted, and Council considers a report from the Woodlands Conservation Officer that addresses, among other matters, the following evaluation criteria: native Carolinian species, evidence of long- term continuous forest cover, viability of remaining woodland, species composition / diversity / age class, influence of recent disturbance, replant of an equivalent area contiguous with existing woodlands, effect on remaining woodland, Development Assessment Report, natural heritage significance criteria, rare / protected wildlife species habitat, Provincially designated wetlands / ANSIs / Regulated Area, Species at Risk screening, previous exemptions, Federal / Provincial / Municipal / NGO funding, and if planted or retained as a condition of a planning approval. County Council has established a policy of ‘no net loss’ when considering ‘Council Exemptions’, requiring the re‐planting of an appropriate and equivalent area. In the absence of finding a suitable replanting area, Council has discretion to instead require a payment in lieu of replanting to be deposited to the Tree Bank Fund to be used by the County for future enhancement of the tree canopy and natural vegetation. Current (January 2019) reforestation and establishment of woodlands is estimated to cost $3,200 per acre ($7,900 per ha) not including the cost to purchase land. Council has the discretion to change this reforestation rate without an amendment to this policy and to examine the cost to purchase land when considering ‘Council Exemption’ applications however $3,200 per acre ($7,900 per ha) is considered a minimum threshold. Any money received as a result of Provincial Offenses prosecutions for infractions under the Woodlands Conservation By-law No. 5738 are also paid into the Tree Bank Fund. Opportunities to utilize the Tree Bank Fund to protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the County will be explored.

County Forest Management The County of Middlesex owns and manages the County Forest which consists of 1040 hectares (2500 acres) within 27 tracts. The County Forest is located within three geographic areas: the Dorchester Swamp, the Big Swamp, and the Skunk’s Misery / Bothwell Forest Complex. The largest component of the County Forest is the Skunk’s Misery / Bothwell Forest Complex which is one of the largest and most significant remaining forest blocks in south‐western Ontario. It contains many plants that are uncommon elsewhere in Ontario, attracts area‐ sensitive and forest interior species, is an Area of Natural and Scientific Interest that contains many Provincially Significant Wetlands and is home to many rare and unique species including Species at Risk. Council has established the following Vision for the County Forest: “The Middlesex County Forest will be managed to ensure the ecological sustainability of the Middlesex County Forest and their associated natural heritage features and social and economic values through the utilization of an integrated ecosystem‐based approach to management.” The County manages the County Forest including through a Council approved 20‐year Management Plan and 5-year Operational Plans. The Management Plan activities include Forest Stewardship, Conservation of Natural Heritage Woodlands, Sustainable Forest Management, Science & Education, and Recreation. The Sustainable Forest Management activities within the County Forest include silvicultural management (timber harvest, regeneration, forest health improvement, and control of invasive species) as outlined in the Management and the Operational Plans. The management operations that are taking place now will, over the long term, improve the forest and provide a long term ecological and financial benefit.

______
County Council has adopted the following policy concerning silvicultural management revenue: “That any funds realized from the sale of timber from County-owned woodlands, net of expenses required to prepare the woodlot for harvesting, be transferred to the woodlands reserve fund and be utilized to finance woodland capital projects for direct management costs.” Opportunities to utilize the Woodlands Reserve Fund to protect and enhance the tree canopy and natural vegetation within the County will be explored.

Committee of the Whole
Meeting Date: February 12, 2019
Submitted By: Brent Kerwin, Administrator, Strathmere Lodge
SUBJECT: MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND LONG TERM CARE INSPECTION
BACKGROUND: The Lodge received the Public Copy of its “Critical Incident System” inspection report on January 14, 2019 (attached).
In December, two (2) Compliance Inspectors from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (“The Ministry”) spent two (2) days at The Lodge conducting an inspection of “Critical Incident” reports previously submitted by The Lodge to the Ministry, dating back to January of 2018.
As per Long Term Care Home legislation, homes must file Critical Incident reports with The Ministry for various incidents, including: reports of abuse; missing residents; medication irregularities; unexpected death; or incidents causing injury to a resident (e.g., fall with fracture) requiring a hospital visit and resulting in a significant health status change. The Ministry will review/investigate such incident reports, sometimes waiting significant periods of time before doing so.
Inspection reports are posted at The Lodge as required by Long Term Care Home legislation. Inspection reports are reviewed at meetings of The Lodge’s Residents’ Council and Family Council. The Ministry posts home inspection reports on its provincial Public Reporting website.
In addition to doing Critical Incident Report inspections, Ministry Inspectors also make unannounced visits to long term care homes in order to:
a) Conduct Annual Inspections; b) Investigate complaints (received on the toll-free complaint line); and c) Do follow-up inspections on concerns identified during previous inspections.
February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 19 C 10 - CW Info
ANALYSIS: The Lodge received five (5) “Notices” and no “Orders” (Orders are more serious infractions of Long Term Care Home legislation representing resident risk matters necessitating short term remediation).
A summary of The Lodge’s inspection deficiencies, with corresponding remedy, are as follows:
Deficiency Remedy 1. An up-to-date care plan for a resident While such an occurrence is uncommon, was not in a care plan binder, copies of care plan documents will be accessible to all home area staff (it made for educational purposes et al, and was in an administrative office, being such that original care plan documents used to train a staff member on care remain accessible to staff. plan document development). 2.

Resident, Family, Friend and Responsible Party Newsletter – Feb. ‘19
Dear Strathmere Lodge residents, family members, friends/responsible parties:
1. Strathmere Lodge Ladies’ Auxiliary
The Lodge is blessed to have a long-serving and dedicated Ladies’ Auxiliary that works tirelessly to bring additional comforts to the residents through volunteer work and fundraising efforts.
In 2018, Auxiliary members logged 6,850 hours of volunteer work, sponsoring and assisting with various resident activities (including teas, socials and dinners), holding bazaars/yard sales, and operating the Tuck Shop on the main floor.
Through its fundraising efforts and Memorial Donation Board, the Auxiliary has donated tens of thousands of dollars to resident-focused initiatives, helping to supplement resident equipment and resident entertainment programming, and making The Lodge “more like home” for the 160 residents who live at The Lodge.
2. Recreation Calendar / Important Events
Please pick up and check out our monthly Recreation calendar (given to every individual resident, in addition to being available in each Resident Home Area, and on our web page at: February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 5 C 11 - CW Info
https://www.middlesex.ca/departments/long-term-care/recreation) for events that you may find of interest and would like to attend.
Our upcoming events for February (in the Rose Room, unless otherwise indicated):
a) Tuesday, Feb. 5th, 2:00pm – Mike & Paula entertain b) Friday, Feb. 8th, 2:00pm – Music with Gary Boyle c) Wednesday, Feb. 13th, 2:00pm – Entertainment by Gospel Express d) Thursday, Feb. 14th, 2:00pm – Valentine’s Day Tea with Randy Grey nd e) Friday, Feb. 22 , 2:00pm – Happy Hour with Tony Nother th f) Wednesday, Feb. 27 , 2:00pm – UKE Girls perform th g) Wednesday, Feb. 27 , 6:30pm – Music with John & Christine
3. Security Camera System
Please be advised that the Lodge has completed the implementation of a security camera system, first started in our secure resident home area (Bear Creek).
Security cameras are now in all common areas, not in resident rooms or tub rooms. Specifically, security cameras are in the following areas: a) Resident home area corridors in all five (5) resident home areas; b) Resident dining room / sunroom areas; c) Rose Room area (main floor); d) Hair Salon area (second floor); and e) Entrances/exits – main and rear. The purpose of the security camera system is to protect the safety of residents, families and staff, and to promote a safe and secure environment.
The security camera system video footage will be used retrospectively to efficiently and effectively address such matters as incidents reportable to the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care (or other authorized body).
Please let me know if you have any questions about the security camera system ([email protected], or 519-245-2520, ext. 6222). February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 5 C 11 - CW Info
4. Scent Sensitivity
Increasingly, people exposed to airborne chemicals (e.g., in fragrances, sprays, mists, etc.) are becoming sensitized to them to the point that they can no longer tolerate any more exposure – they become “Scent Sensitive”. This can trigger breathing problems, headaches, sneezing, nausea, disorientation and, in extreme cases, they can go into shock similar to the reaction those with a peanut allergy might have.
Given the increasing problem of scent sensitivity, residents and families are being asked to refrain from the use of air freshners, including aroma diffusers.
5. On-site Hairdressing Services - Fees
After five (5) years of no fee changes, please be advised that there will be some price increases to on-site Hairdresser services effective February 1, 2019.
Price increases range from $2 (for a men’s cut) to $5 (for perms).
For more information about Hairdresser services, and/or for a price list of Hairdresser services, please contact Reception (519-245-2520, ext. 6221).
6. Residents Who Smoke
The Lodge has a handful of residents who smoke, which we care plan for in accordance with our Long Term Care Homes legislation.
So as to adhere to smoking care plans arrived at with individual residents and their family members, we are asking that you do not provide residents with smoking materials (lighter, cigarettes), or facilitate additional cigarette access, where a resident that you are not affiliated with may approach you for such.
February 19, 2019 Page 4 of 5 C 11 - CW Info
For the health and safety of all residents, we want to ensure that we are able to accurately monitor cigarette consumption, and that we know who is in possession of what quantity of smoking materials.
7. Oral Care for Residents
As part of our requirement to promote good oral care, we have an arrangement with a dental services provider, who makes periodic visits to The Lodge to see residents who can no longer make trips to a dental provider in the community.
For interested residents/families, we coordinate an annual dental assessment for residents, including other preventive dental services. This is done on a fee-for-service basis.
If you are interested in this dental service, please contact the Administrative Support Nurse at The Lodge (519-245-2520, ext. 6232).
8. Next Family Council Meeting
This group of involved and caring friends and family members meets on a regular basis to share information and discuss common issues. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, March 4, 2019, at 6:30pm in the (second floor) Conference Room (note evening start time).
All family and friends of residents of Strathmere Lodge are welcome to attend. No pre-registration is necessary.
For more information, please contact Marcy Welch (519-245-2520, ext. 6226, or [email protected]).
Minutes of the most recent Family Council meeting are posted on the family information board in the Rose Room (near the Chapel), and previous minutes are available for review at our Reception desk. February 19, 2019 Page 5 of 5 C 11 - CW Info
Labelling of Residents’ Personal Items
This is a reminder that new clothing needs to be labelled with the resident’s name before residents begin to wear it.
One of the ways clothing will go missing is if a resident wears new clothing before it gets labelled. In this case, if new clothing gets into our laundry system without a resident name on it, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to trace it back to its rightful owner.
It is also a good idea to label other personal effects brought in to The Lodge (e.g., photographs, books/magazines, watering cans), as there are occasions where personal effects find their way outside of a resident’s room, whereupon it becomes difficult to trace such items back to their rightful owner without an associated name.
9. In Conclusion ….
Please let me know if you would like to see certain issues addressed in future newsletter editions (contact me at 519- 245-2520, ext. 6222, or via email at: [email protected]).

Ontario’s Wildlife Damage Compensation Program
Completing a Program Application Form A Resource for Investigators
January 2019
February 19, 2019 Page 3 of 17 C 15 - CW Info
The Ontario Wildlife Damage Compensation Program (OWDCP) provides compensation to eligible producers whose livestock and/or poultry have been injured or killed as a result of wildlife predation or whose bee colonies, beehives and/or beehive- related equipment has been damaged as a result of wildlife pre- dation.
February 19, 2019 Page 4 of 17 C 15 - CW Info
HOW TO COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM
Refer to the application form posted on the OMAFRA website to follow along with this tip sheet: ______
Step 1 - Owner Identification & Basic Eligibility Requirements
Have the owner complete Step 1. Ensure the owner fills out the eligibility requirements section which includes providing a Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Number, Farm Business Registration Number (FBRN) and a Premises Identification Number (PID). Check to ensure all information is complete in Step 1. Applicants without a CRA Number need to provide their Social Insurance Number to the Municipality and/or OMAFRA when requested. Applications missing a FBRN or PID are ineligible under the program and will not be processed until this information is provided. Applicants that do not have an FBRN (valid in the current or previous calendar year) must qualify for an exemption and provide proof of that exemption in order to be eligible for compensation under the program. If information is missing, ministry staff will contact the municipality to get the information before the application is processed, which may result in a delay to the processing timelines or an application being deemed ineligible if this information is not provided. If the Owner has an email address, it is recommended to include it in order to facilitate any communication regarding the application.
Step 2 - Investigator Information Fill in your contact information. Phone and email is required in case ministry staff need to get in touch about a question regarding the application.
Step 3 - Description of Damages
Fill in the injury/kill date (date of the attack). Indicate the type of damages being reported, either death or injury of the animal(s). Include any paid veterinary receipts for relevant livestock/poultry injuries (If applicable).
3
February 19, 2019 Page 5 of 17 C 15 - CW Info
Injured Animals:
Producers should immediately seek veterinary care or other treatment to prevent further suffering of an injured animal. If the animal is in distress and suffering, the producer may euthanize it before you (the investigator) arrive. Veterinary care costs are eligible under this program up to the Fair Market Value of the livestock. Costs related to a producer’s on-farm “inventory” of medications do count as an eligible expense. In this case, proof is required that a vet directed the drug use as a treatment for the injury and the producer must provide a receipt for the medication purchase. All veterinary or medication receipts and invoices should be saved and submitted with the application.
Step 4 - Description of Livestock and Signs of Predation The information reported in this section will be used to calculate the value of the predated animal. The following fields must be included in order to assign fair market value to the livestock producer: Number of head Species and type of animal (e.g. chicken, lamb, steer, etc.) Estimated live weight in pounds - this is used to calculate pricing based on the weight categories of market animals Age of animal(s) - this is used to calculate young stock pricing (lambs, steers, etc.) Sex of animal(s) Your declaration as to whether or not there is sufficient evidence to determine that the livestock or poultry death/injury was caused by an eligible wildlife species Whether any available premiums apply including, pregnant, registered or poultry breeding stock. Required documentation must be provided by the producer and can be found in Table 1. An example of a breeding record can be found in Figure 1.
Table 1: Required Documentation for Livestock Premiums
Available Premium Required Documentation
Breeding records required. Can include a handwritten breeding Pregnant record or a pregnancy scanning report from a veterinarian or technician (see Figure 1).
Breed registration documents linking to the ID tag or tattoo must be provided for the animal. Alternatively, parental registration Registered paper papers and documentation demonstrating a genetic link can be provided.
Poultry breeding stock Sales receipts and proof of pedigree are required.

Step 5 - Evidence of Predation Indicate and document evidence of predation based on the kill/injury site evidence. Fully detailed descriptions in the application will assist OMAFRA in assessing the claim. All statements must be substantiated by photographic evidence. Describe in detail any evidence that animal was alive prior to the attack. Examples could include but are not limited to the hoof membrane of a newborn animal being worn, manure or dirt on the hooves, the animal having identification markers (ID tag, tattoo, ear notch, leg band, etc.), young animals licked or dried off, etc. Describe in detail any evidence that the livestock/poultry bled from the attack. This could include blood on the body or around the area where it was attacked. Describe in detail any signs of tissue damage (bruising or hemorrhaging) under or around the lacerations or puncture wounds on the hide. Describe in detail any other signs of predation. Examples could include drag marks on the ground, broken vegetation, predator tracks, scat, fur, etc.

Provide a description of the events and the attack site. Items to highlight could include:
Outline any secondary details to support wildlife identification (e.g., tracks, how the animal was attacked, if a predator was seen in the area) and support the primary evidence outlined above. Note weather conditions and their potential impact on the available site evidence. (For example, +30 degrees Celsius so not a lot of the carcass left due to decomposition, or rain events for days which washed away the blood on the carcass and around the site, etc.) Indicate any behaviour exhibited by the herd or flock after the attack. (For example, pacing the fence, balling, spooked, etc.)
Photographic Evidence Provide 3-6 digital colour photos per individual livestock or poultry. The more photos the better. Three example photos can be found in Figure 1 – 3. Photos should be taken in colour, and high quality. Photos should include:
Required: A close up photo of all injuries and/or wounds sustained (e.g., bite marks, wounds, lacerations, bleeding, bruising, etc.) A photo of the entire animal showing all injuries and/ or wounds sustained.

RE: EBR Registry # 013-4293 for input on the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018
Ontario Farmland Trust (OFT) is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve Ontario farmlands and associated agricultural, natural, and cultural features of the countryside. OFT achieves this through direct land securement, stewardship, policy research and education to benefit all Ontarians. Thank you for the opportunity to submit feedback on the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018. OFT has played an active stakeholder role in the development of policies that support a prosperous, sustainable and permanent farm sector, including those contained in the Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, and Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. In an effort to continue working with the Province to develop responsible planning policies that support the agri-food sector, OFT has detailed its concerns regarding Schedule 10 of the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018, in the following document. Ontario’s agri-food sector is a major economic engine for the province. In terms of job creation and economic growth, a 2018 report confirmed that the agri-food sector contributes over $39 billion to Ontario’s GDP and employs more than 820,000 Ontarians in the supply chain [1]. This contribution is overwhelmingly significant in rural areas, where roughly 12% of the GDP and 10% of rural jobs are attributed to the farm sector [2]. Ontario is also positioned favourably to attract agricultural and manufacturing investment because it is a global leader in the agri-food industry and houses one of the largest agri-food hubs in North America. This, in turn, generates growth in employment and GDP. OFT believes that, as currently written, the Open-for-Business Zoning By-law proposed within Schedule 10 of Bill 66 places the agri-food sector and its substantial economic benefits at an unacceptable level of risk. If adopted it will jeopardize the economic contributions of the agri- food sector and expose rural areas to greater economic vulnerability. As such, OFT recommends that Schedule 10 be removed from Bill 66. It is critical that all Acts that protect the permanency, health, productivity, and profitability of Ontario’s farmland and the agri-food sector are retained in full and without exception.

The following sections provide greater detail regarding Schedule 10’s threats to the farm sector and suggests alternative actions to improve the province’s business environment while attracting agri-food investment. Threats to the Farm Sector Schedule 10 of Bill 66 and the Open-for-Business Zoning By-law (OFB-ZBL) could open up for development farmland that is either currently protected (e.g. through the Greenbelt Plan) or is outside of projected municipal growth areas. This negatively impacts the agricultural sector in a number of ways. Schedule 10 of Bill 66:
• Threatens to pave over and permanently destroy productive farmland. Only 5% of the Canadian land base is prime agricultural land, the majority of which is in southern Ontario and contributes to the success of the Province’s agri-food sector. Ontario is already losing 175 acres of farmland every day, a rate that could increase under the proposed OFB-ZBL. The loss of this land to non-agricultural uses is irreversible and negatively impacts Ontario’s economy, food security, and agri-food investment potential. • Risks farmland fragmentation and the dismantling of the agricultural system. A successful agri-food sector relies on a healthy farm sector, which requires access to a contiguous agricultural land base with a system of supportive infrastructure, agricultural services, distributors, and processors. This requirement is recognized by, and is being addressed through, ongoing municipal-level processes to implement the Agricultural System for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. Development approvals outside of strategic growth areas that are delineated in Official Plans and in conformity with the Provincial Policy Statement, Growth Plan, Greenbelt Plan, etc. will fragment and destroy the systems required by the farm sector. As farmland and the agricultural system is fragmented by conflicting land uses, the viability of agricultural enterprises and the agri- food sector is reduced or eliminated. • Will dramatically inflate farmland prices as speculation and land banking increases and further reduce affordability for farmers. Sustaining large swaths of contiguous, affordable farmland is crucial because land ownership provides the long-term, land use certainty that is required for farmers to make investments in their property and business. This contributes to a stronger agri-food sector and more attractive investment environment. • Introduces conflicting land uses adjacent to land used for agricultural purposes. This disadvantages both producers and those on adjacent properties because of the nature of agricultural activity, which generates noise, odours, and dust, and involves the use of slow-moving farm machinery and hazardous materials. Ultimately, introducing incompatible land uses makes it more difficult for farmers to continue running financially

sustainable farm businesses, can interrupt normal farm practices, and can create conflict with neighbors. • Re-introduces uncertainty around the permanent protection of land for agriculture and agribusiness. Uncertainty about the ongoing protection of land for agriculture discourages investment in agriculture and leads to a deterioration in the resource and the agricultural community associated with it. Given that the best agricultural land is largely located in areas experiencing growth pressures, this uncertainty and the resultant reluctance to invest in agribusiness, will weaken the agri-food sector. Furthermore, the lack of public consultation will result in farmers being unable to provide feedback, challenge decisions, and advocate for the ongoing viability of their business. • Increases the agricultural sector’s vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change. Studies in Ontario indicate that the effects of climate change will be dramatically different across the province and that heat and water stress will likely have negative impacts on agricultural productivity [3,4]. The agricultural and natural lands threatened by the proposed OFB-ZBL help to offset these negative impacts by providing services including carbon storage and flood management. Re-introduced land use uncertainty would also reduce farmers’ incentive to invest in on-farm adaptive and mitigative technologies and practices. Actions to Improve Ontario’s Business Environment As currently proposed, the OFB-ZBL is unnecessary and does not appropriately solve the issues it seeks to address. Numerous studies report that there is already enough employment land designated for growth out to 2031 and beyond, meaning the provisions within the OFB-ZBL meant to open up land previously unavailable for development are unnecessary. For example, a 2017 Neptis Report notes that 85% or 87,440 ha of Designated Greenfield Area in the Greater Golden Horseshoe is unbuilt [5], and a 2017 study from Simcoe County indicated that across its 16 municipalities, there were 1,514 ha of excess employment lands to accommodate anticipated growth out to 2031 [6]. These planning horizons can be extended well beyond 2031 when growth is managed through intensification [7]. Existing planning resources, including Official Plans, already allow municipalities to respond to employment opportunities on currently designated lands and direct growth in a strategic and appropriate manner. Municipal polices are developed based on substantive amounts of work supported by public consultation and should not be pre-empted by the OFB- ZBL. The proposed OFB-ZBL disregards the importance and necessity of coordinated, comprehensive planning to maintain and protect the integrity of regional systems,

including the agricultural system. Current provincial policies address strategic planning processes at a regional level and should not be bypassed or undermined under any condition. While the OFT is opposed to the currently proposed Open-for-Business Zoning By-law we acknowledge that there are other actions that can be taken to improve the business environment in the province and attract investment in the agri-food sector, which include:
• Coordinating the actions of provincial ministries so they work as a team to facilitate appropriate development • Adopting an online ‘single portal’ approach to planning applications, approvals, and communications between government agencies and applicants • Providing greater recognition and promotion of the agri-food sector as an economic engine in the province • Promoting job creation and investment opportunities that recognize and support agricultural business potential in rural areas. Farmland is rural employment land and employment in one sector should not place jobs at risk in another, which is the current reality of Schedule 10 given the risks it will create for agricultural viability. • Creating land-use certainty by using existing planning or policy tools to permanently protect critical sector resources including farmland and the agricultural system. The OFT is eager to work with the provincial government to achieve this vision.
Thank you for this opportunity to share our recommendations and feedback on the proposed Bill 66, Restoring Ontario’s Competitiveness Act, 2018. We believe that Ontario has an opportunity to position itself as a national and global leader in strategies that blend environmental/farmland protection and economic growth and is capable of setting an example of how economic prosperity need not be at the expense of the environment. We invite discussion and welcome any questions you might have regarding our submission. We look forward to working with you further.
Most Sincerely,
Kathryn Enders Executive Director Ontario Farmland Trust

Province’s "Regional Review" to be Limited
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Honourable Steve Clark, announced today that this review is limited to nine (9) upper tiers and their constituent lower tiers in:
• Waterloo Region • Niagara Region • Halton Region • Peel Region • York Region • Durham Region • Oxford County • Simcoe County • Muskoka District
The focus is to be on governance/decision-making and service delivery. The Province has appointed two advisors who are to provide advice/recommendations back to the province this summer. They are:
• Michael Fenn – a former Ontario Deputy Minister, previous municipal chief administrator in several Ontario cities, and founding CEO of Metrolinx. • Ken Seiling – former Chair of Waterloo Region who held that position since 1985 and prior as a councillor and Mayor in Woolwich.
Each jurisdiction is to receive information on the consultation. Last August, the Minister began informal discussions, wishing to hear from people about how this system of governance is working recognizing it was established in the 1970s.
AMO will monitor the review process, which needs to be open and transparent. It is important that during the review process, the work of the affected municipal governments is not destabilized.
While this review does not include any other municipal jurisdictions or structures, and AMO is not involved in the specific reviews, it will keep an eye on any potential sector wide implications that the advisors’ recommendations may have for service delivery generally.

NEWS Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
Special Advisors Appointed to Begin Regional Government Review Consultations to start in early 2019 January 15, 2019 1:00 P.M.
TORONTO — The Ontario government is moving ahead with a review of regional government by appointing Michael Fenn and Ken Seiling as Special Advisors. The regional government model has been in place for almost 50 years in Ontario and we are taking steps to ensure that regional governments are working efficiently and effectively. These advisors will consult broadly over the coming months and provide recommendations to improve governance, decision- making and service delivery.
The review will examine Ontario's eight regional municipalities (Halton, York, Durham, Waterloo, Niagara, Peel, Muskoka District, and Oxford County), the County of Simcoe, and their lower-tier municipalities.
"Our government committed to improving the way regional government works and we will be looking at ways to make better use of taxpayers' dollars and make it easier for residents and businesses to access important municipal services," said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. "Michael Fenn and Ken Seiling bring a wealth of experience that will help us examine if the way regions are governed is working for the people."
The advisors will work with the province to explore:
• Opportunities to make it easier for residents and businesses to access municipal services; • Processes to deliver efficient and effective local services that respects taxpayers' money; • Methods to make municipalities open for business; and, • Possibilities to cut red tape and duplication, and save costs.
Local residents and businesses will be consulted in spring 2019.
QUICK FACTS
• In total, 82 upper- and lower-tier municipalities are included in the review.

New Policy Resources Available for a New Year
1. AMO’s Key Messages – Amplifying AMO’s Key Messages for Ontario Budget 2019
Councils and members are encouraged to review and reinforce themes from AMO’s submission. To help advance municipal interests and influence the Budget preparation, please use the following key messages with your local MPPs and Ministers.
Seven highlights of AMO’s Submission include:
1. Ontarians already pay the highest property taxes in the country generally driven by the transfer of social housing and other services, a role in healthcare, and emergency service cost growth. 2. Polling shows us municipal services are important to Ontarians. More than eight in ten Ontarians say they would be concerned if the Province placed new demands on municipal governments that result in higher property taxes. 3. For almost half of Ontario’s municipal governments, a 1% property tax increase raises less than $50,000. Every municipality and every local economy is different. Many communities have a very limited tax base and fiscal capacity. This demonstrates that others are experiencing incredible growth that puts significant pressure on expanding services. 4. In 2018, $133.7 billion in provincial spending went to all transfer payment recipients. Support for municipal governments accounts for just $4.2 billion of that amount or 5.6% of provincial spending. This is small but the support these dollars provide locally is huge. 5. AMO estimates municipal governments need $4.9 billion per year for ten years on top of the existing federal and provincial transfers to continue delivering today’s services and close the infrastructure gap. 6. Development charge revenue must not be eroded. Shortchanging the public services Ontarians depend on is no way to build the communities people want to live in. February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 3 C 20 - CW Info
7. Municipal governments are important to the provincial government. We are the front line. We deliver many of the services that make communities strong and we build the infrastructure needed to grow the economy.
The Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs is accepting written pre- budget submissions by 5:00 pm on Tuesday January 29, 2019.
Contact: Matthew Wilson, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416-971-9856 ext. 323.
2. AMO Health Discussion papers released and upcoming webinar
AMO is pleased to release two policy discussion papers on health issues entitled, "Partners for a Healthy Ontario: A Check-up on the Municipal Role for Health”, and its accompanying document, “A Compendium of Municipal Health Activities and Recommendations”. The papers are the product of AMO’s Health Task Force and approved by AMO’s Board. The Task Force was co-chaired by AMO Board members Mark Taylor, former Deputy Mayor and Councillor of Ottawa and Graydon Smith, Mayor of Bracebridge.
The starting place for the paper is the fact that Ontario’s municipal governments are deeply invested in the public health and health care services. This level of involvement has been evolving over time and is not generally understood by the public, Province, or stakeholders. Municipal governments contributed $2.1 billion for health costs in 2017, an increase of 38% since 2012. This does not include support services, like social services, housing, and recreation.
The paper reviews the current municipal role in health and provides recommendations to modernize and strengthen the provincial-municipal working relationship. With local knowledge and expertise, municipal governments can provide valuable input into the health system. Given the level of financial investment, municipal governments should also have greater say over health delivery decisions that affect municipal costs and services. This should also lead to better local health outcomes in a way that is fair to property taxpayers and residents.
AMO is hosting a free webinar on health policy and service issues for municipal officials and staff on Thursday, January 24th from 10 – 11 a.m. It will provide an overview of the health policy paper including our key municipal recommendations to the Province to improve local health services. Register today to learn about municipal governments’ evolving role in the healthcare and public health systems.

3. AMO’s Response to Provincial Environmental Plan available now
November 29, 2019 saw the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks release Ontario’s new Environmental Plan, a broad strategy for environmental action in the province for the next four years and beyond. The plan includes proposals that touch on water and wastewater, climate change, waste management, energy conservation and extreme weather, to name a few. To provide input into the plan and help municipal governments understand sector-wide implications of the proposals AMO has developed a response to the government which compliments our earlier input into the generation of the document. Municipal staff and officials are encouraged to review these documents in formulating local responses.
Contact: Craig Reid, Senior Advisor, [email protected], 416-971-9856 ext. 334.

February 1, 2019 Dear Heads of Council,
At the recent Rural Ontario Municipal Association conference, Premier Doug Ford announced the province will be launching a joint and several liability review. Liability reform represents a longstanding municipal request. Details on the nature and timing of this review and its accompanying public consultation are expected shortly.
Also known as the 1% rule, joint and several liability obliges a municipal government (which could be only 1% at fault) to pay a claimant’s entire judgment in cases where other respondents are unable to pay a court ordered award. This rule means municipal governments often become the targets of litigation. It pushes municipalities to settle out of court to avoid long-drawn-out litigation for amounts that may be excessive. At the local level, this diverts property taxes away from public services to pay expensive insurance premiums or self-insurance costs. If this situation continues, efforts to limit liability exposure by scaling back public services (or activities like tobogganing in public spaces) will only continue.
Another challenge is that joint and several liability has narrowed municipal insurance choices. In 2016, the Ontario Municipal Insurance Exchange (OMEX), a not-for-profit insurer, announced that it was suspending underwriting operations citing, in part, “the impact of joint and several liability on municipal claim settlements”. Less choice fuels cost.
Municipal advocacy on this issue in no way intends for injured parties to be denied justice or damages through the courts. Rather the key considerations are the inequity of how much “deep pocket” defendants are paying and the need to find a reasonable balance. Many common law jurisdictions around the world have adopted legal reforms to limit exposure and restore balance. Other countries and the vast majority of state governments south of the border have adopted forms of proportionate liability instead. Outside Ontario, others have recognized municipalities should not be insurers of last resort.
In February 2014, MPPs from all parties supported a motion calling on the province to reform joint and several liability. Nearly 200 municipal councils also supported the February 19, 2019 Page 2 of 2 C 21 - CW Info
motion introduced by Randy Pettapiece, MPP for Perth-Wellington, which called on the government to implement a comprehensive, long-term solution.
Building on the foundation of previous AMO work, we are assembling a group of municipal lawyers and risk managers to support municipal participation in this review. If you have a staff member or ideas that could contribute to this effort, please contact AMO Senior Advisor Matthew Wilson at [email protected].
For more background, please see AMO’s Liability Reform paper or view our Managing the Cost of Risk insurance survey results. Further information will be shared in the weeks ahead.
Sincerely,
Jamie McGarvey AMO President
