Springtime Flooding? Yes, No, Maybe

Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan “WaterLogs” – February 2021 Page 15 of 139

Believe it or not, spring is just around the corner and if you live near a watercourse like the Bay of Quinte that could mean flooding. Over the past couple of years, water levels in the Lake Ontario basin have been high but currently, water levels are approximately 23 inches below the level there were at this time last year. Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River water levels are primarily determined by rain, snow, wind, and other natural factors. The Moses- Saunders Dam, provides some control over water levels and flows.

Water levels and flows on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River are managed under Plan 2014. This winter, the International Joint Commission (IJC) has approved the International Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River Board’s request for authority to deviate from Plan 2014, and as conditions permit, outflows from the Moses-Saunders dam on the St. Lawrence River have been increased to exceed Plan 2014 flows.

So, what does that mean? For a more in-depth understanding of the system’s hydrologic conditions, water levels and outflows, including graphics and photos, visit the International Lake Ontario – St. Lawrence River Board’s web site and Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/InternationalLakeOntarioStLawrenceRiverBoard (English), and

Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan “WaterLogs” – February 2021 Page 16 of 139 more detailed information is available on its website at https://www.ijc.org/en/loslrb.

Tips to help with water damage High water levels can cause flooded basements, erosion issues, and contaminated wells. For basements ensure your sump pump is working and elevate items off the floor.

If your well has been impacted by flood waters – do not drink the well water - have it tested before using it. https://hpepublichealth.ca/well-water/

If you have erosion issues, contact your local Conservation Authority. All work along shorelines requires a permit from your local Conservation Authority and may require a permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry. Your Conservation Authority can provide you with options to protect your shoreline, and help with the permitting process.

Marsh Monitoring

Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan “WaterLogs” – February 2021 Page 17 of 139

Learn how citizen scientists help monitor Bay of Quinte wetlands through the Marsh Monitoring Program and FrogWatch Ontario. Naturalist and columnist, Terry Sprague hosts an information session explaining how these programs help protect local wetlands and wildlife by monitoring for birds and frogs. This year, due to Covid restrictions the presentation will be an online event on Monday, March 8, 2021 at 7:00 pm. You can register on Eventbrite at https://marshmonitoringbqrap.eventbrite.ca to receive the presentation link.

The FrogWatch Ontario program is a family-friendly activity, and the Marsh Monitoring Program is more structured, ideal for the outdoors enthusiast.

*Volunteer opportunities for FrogWatch Ontario, the Marsh Monitoring Program and

Ospreys might be available depending on Covid-19 restrictions*

Jump start your crops by getting an early soil test

Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan “WaterLogs” – February 2021 Page 18 of 139

Excess phosphorus from rural and urban sources have a direct impact on water quality in the Bay of Quinte. The Healthy Soils Check Up Program helps farmers improve water quality and save money by providing:

1. Free agronomic soil testing with analysis being done by an OMAFRA accredited soil lab.

2. Detailed field maps showing contours (slopes) and areas within the field that are more prone to erosion.

Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan “WaterLogs” – February 2021 Page 19 of 139

This program will help you keep nutrients and soil where you want them – in your fields, improving crop yields.

Knowing your baseline nutrient levels and implementing the 4 R’s (right source/product, right rate, right time, and right place) of fertilizer application will minimize nutrient transport from fields and maximize crop uptake and utilization.

The field maps will identify key erosion sites to help you adopt Best Management Practices (BMPs) to keep soil on your fields and out of local waterways.

News release For immediate release

Canada and Ontario invest in accessible Community Hub in Bancroft

Bancroft, Ontario, February 11, 2021—Canadians everywhere are feeling the impact of COVID-19, on their families, their livelihoods and their way of life. Together, Canada and Ontario are working to reduce the impact of the pandemic, ensure health and safety, rebuild businesses, and promote job creation, growth and investment. Investments in Ontario’s infrastructure during this extraordinary time provide an opportunity to make our communities more sustainable and resilient.

Today, the Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities; Daryl Kramp, Member of Provincial Parliament for Hastings—Lennox and Addington, on behalf of the Honourable Laurie Scott, Ontario’s Minister of Infrastructure; and His Worship Paul Jenkins, Mayor of the Town of Bancroft, announced funding for the construction of the North Hastings Community Hub.

The Government of Canada is investing $749,960 in this project through the Community, Culture and Recreation Infrastructure Stream (CCRIS) of the Investing in Canada plan. The Government of Ontario is providing $624,904, while the Town of Bancroft is contributing $500,036.

The project involves the construction of an accessible 4,000 square foot Community Hub, which will include new space for the North Hastings Public Library. Located on the ground-floor of a new, three-storey mixed-use building with twenty affordable housing units, the new Community Hub and public library will better serve the needs of the residents of North Hastings, a community which sees large population influxes every summer.

All orders of government continue to work together for the people of Ontario to make strategic infrastructure investments in communities across the province when needed most.

Quotes

“Better public spaces are at the heart of inclusive, sustainable and welcoming communities where people want to live, work and raise a family. The federal contribution of more than $749,000 to the North Hastings Community Hub will provide a new home for the library and new homes for residents in need, making the community more accessible and inclusive. Canada’s infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects, creates jobs across the country, and builds cleaner, more inclusive communities.”

The Honourable Catherine McKenna, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities

“Our government is proud to be supporting the building of the North Hastings Community Hub with an investment of almost $625,000. Once completed, the citizens of Bancroft will make great use of this new community space and I am delighted that it is receiving funding under this federal-provincial program. I look forward to the future and the many roles it will serve for our community.”

We thank everyone involved for transforming this vision into a reality with special thanks to the Federal and Provincial Governments.” Paul Jenkins, Mayor of the Town of Bancroft

HASTINGS COUNTY STAFF REPORT

RE: BY-LAW NO. 2021-14 TO REMOVE PART-LOT CONTROL MUNICIPALITY OF CENTRE HASTINGS

Applicant: 2403496 Ontario Inc. Prepared by: Jason Budd, Senior Planner Location: Municipality of Centre Hastings Block 10 on Plan 21M-284 Duncan Street

PART I - Staff Recommendations:

1. THAT the planning staff report dated March 16, 2021 be received; and,

2. THAT the Planning and Development Committee recommend to County Council the Part Lot Control By-law No. 2021-14 as passed by the Corporation of the Municipality of Centre Hastings on February 17, 2021, BE APPROVED pursuant to Section 50 (7.1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P. 13, as amended,

PART II - Agency & Public Comments Received:

Public notice is not required prior to passing a removal of part-lot control by-law pursuant to Section 50 (7.1) of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P. 13, as amended.

PART III Planning Review:

Purpose/Background: The subject lands are located on Duncan Street. The ownership includes one block on a registered plan of subdivision, being Block 10 on Plan 21M-284 (see attachment 1). The purpose of the application is to subdivide the block into 5 residential lots to facilitate the development of a townhouse with each unit of the townhouse being located on its own lot. The new lots will have a range of frontage from 15.06 metres to 9.59 metres on Duncan Street. The resulting lot areas range from 329 m2 to approximately 450 m2. A 3 metre wide right of way is also being created to provide rear access to the new lots being created.

To subdivide the land, the landowner has made a request to the Municipality of Centre Hastings to pass a by-law to remove part-lot control under subsection 50 (7) of the Planning Act (see attachment no. 2). Council of the Municipality of Centre Hastings has reviewed and approved

1 Part Lot Control By-law – Plan 21M-284, Block 10 (Municipality of Centre... Page 33 of 139 Part Lot Control By-law No. 2021-14 on March 01, 2023 (see attachment no. 3).

Planning Analysis: Part Lot Control is a provision under the Planning Act that prohibits the selling of part of a lot (i.e. create a new lot) on a registered subdivision. When proposed development involves existing development to be re-organized, a simplified process may be beneficial. In such cases, utilizing a Part Lot Control by-law under Section 50(7) of the Planning Act is appropriate. The by-law allows Council to temporarily exempt lands from subdivision controls. According to section 50 (7.1) of the Act, part lot control bylaws are subject to final approval by the subdivision granting authority (i.e. County). Therefore, the by-law is recommended to be referred to County Council in order to give final approval to Part-Lot Control By-law No. 2018-88.

To ensure that future unintended conveyances occur, the Planning Act provides for an expiry period to the Part Lot Control By-law. By-law No. 2021-14 expires on March 01, 2023 which has been incorporated into the by-law.

Official Plan The lands are designated as “Urban Residential” by the County of Hastings Official Plan. The effect of the part-lot control by-law conforms to the County Official Plan.

Zoning By-law The proposal conforms and complies with the comprehensive zoning by-law, as amended.

Summary: Based on the above, the proposed removal of part-lot control is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the County of Hastings Official Plan and the zoning by-law of the Municipality of Centre Hastings, as amended. The Part Lot Control bylaw expires November 24th, 2017.

The property is an irregular shaped lot. The property is bounded by light industrial to the west, Hastings Heritage Trail and vacant agricultural land to the north, a mix of low density residential and commercial to the south and low density residential to the east.

The lands are designated Urban Residential in Part B of the Hastings County Official Plan. The Urban Residential land use designation permits the establishment of single detached dwellings, semi- detached dwellings, duplex dwellings, multi-unit dwellings, which include triplexes, fourplexes, townhouses and low to medium rise apartment buildings. The subdivision subject to this application consists of a mix of multiple unit dwelling blocks and single detached dwelling lots. This land use pattern conforms to the policies of the Official Plan.

The subject property slopes from west to east towards the York River (located on the east side of Mill Street) and is currently vacant. It is an irregular shaped lot approximately 19.93 hectares in area.

14

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 64 of 139 Background: The application for Draft Plan of Subdivision was deemed complete by Planning Staff on September 18, 2019. A Notice of Complete application was circulated to all property owners within 120 metres radius of the subject property.

The application was circulated to internal departments and external agencies for review and comment. The Planning and Development Department retained Jewell Engineering and their team, at the expense of the applicant, to provide peer review of the technical studies submitted in support of the application.

The applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-Law Amendment were submitted concomitantly to Hastings County and the Town of Bancroft. County and Town planning staff have processed the applications concurrently. A shared statutory public meeting was held on December 08, 2020.

PART VI - Comments/Analysis Provincial Policy Statement: The Provincial Policy Statement (2020) (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development, which are intended to be complemented by local policies addressing local interests. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, all municipal decisions regarding planning matters “shall be consistent with” applicable provincial policy. The Hastings County Official Plan obtained Ministry approval in August 2018 and was deemed to be consistent with the policies of the Provincial Policy Statement by virtue of this approval. Planning Staff have reviewed the applicable policies new Provincial Policy Statement 2020 against the policies of the Official Plan and confirmed the policies of the Official Plan remain consistent with the policies of the PPS.

If the application for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-Law Amendment conforms to the policies of the Hastings County Official Plan, then it is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement subject to the conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision which will be recommended in the final report to be presented to the Planning and Development Committee at a later date.

The provincial policy statement states, “It is to be read in its entirety and the relevant policies are to be applied to each situation.” The provincial policies most relevant to this application include:

1.1 Managing and Directing Land Use to Achieve Efficient and Resilient Development and Land Use Patterns

1.1.1 Healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by: a. promoting efficient development and land use patterns which sustain the financial well-being of the Province and municipalities over the long term;

b. 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;

15

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 65 of 139 e. promoting cost effective development patterns and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs.

Discussion: The proposed plan of subdivision is proposed to be a mix of residential and commercial uses located within Phase 1 development area in Part B - Schedule UCSP B.1 of the Official Plan in the urban boundary of the Town of Bancroft and will be developed on full municipal services. Phase 1 lands are to be the primary focus of immediate development. The commercial blocks will increase the amount of leasable commercial space available for existing and new businesses. The proposed residential development will contribute to the provision of housing in the Town of Bancroft by providing a mixed medium density residential development consisting of low rise apartment and townhouse blocks. The applicant has requested that the site specific zoning include seniors retirement apartment as a permitted use. This will enable the establishment of an additional form of housing and help meet market housing demands.

1.1.3 Settlement Areas:

1.1.3.1 Settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development.

1.1.3.2 Land use patterns within settlement areas shall be based on densities and a mix of land uses which:

a. efficiently use land and resources;

b. are appropriate for, and efficiently use, the infrastructure and public service facilities which are planned or available, and avoid the need for their unjustified and/or uneconomical expansion;

1.1.3.3 Planning authorities shall identify appropriate locations and promote opportunities for transit- supportive development, accommodating a significant supply and range of housing options through intensification and redevelopment where this can be accommodated taking into account existing building stock or areas, including brownfield sites, and the availability of suitable existing or planned infrastructure and public service facilities required to accommodate projected needs.

Discussion: The proposed development is within the urban boundary of the Town of Bancroft. Section 2.1.1 of part A of the Official Plan promotes growth and development to occur within the Urban and Hamlet boundaries in Hastings County. This where municipal sanitary and water services are available or will eventually be made available. Facilitating development, re-vitalization and intensification within the settlement areas of the County enables residents to easily access existing commercial and social services (ex. ambulance, garbage and fire and rescue) as well as limiting the costs for municipalities to provide these services to the greatest number of residents.

The subject property is accessed by Mill Street, an arterial road and is adjacent to the Hastings Heritage Trail and the Vance Park trails. The proximity of the trail systems provide an alternative means of accessing to the Town’s core and enables multi-modal methods of transportation such as

16

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 66 of 139 cycling and walking. The trail system also supports snowmobiles and atv’s which contributes to the local economy in the form of tourism.

The application for Draft Plan of Subdivision was reviewed against the relevant policies of the PPS. It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the proposed development is in conformity with the relevant policies of the Provincial Policy Statement.

Official Plan: The subject property is designated Urban Residential and is also designated as a site specific policy area, Section 2.2.6 in the Hastings County Official Plan Part B – Schedule UCSP A.1.

Urban Residential (Section 2.2.1): The purpose of the urban residential land use designation is to identify existing and future residential areas within the urban boundary. The policy protects the integrity of these areas by defining the primary and accessory uses to be developed within this land use designation. The urban residential land use designation is designed to promote a range of residential development supported by ancillary uses such as parks (including private parks), places of worship and small scale neighbourhood commercial development.

The applicant is proposing to construct a mixed use residential/commercial plan of subdivision. The proposed development generally respects the existing residential and commercial zone boundaries such that the proposed commercial zones remain located on the east portion of the subject property and applied to Blocks 1, 2 and 3 of the Draft Plan of Subdivision. The proposed residential development consists of two medium density residential blocks and a mixed use residential/commercial block. The proposed medium density development is in conformity with the following site specific Official Plan policy that has been applied to the subject lands:

Site Specific Official Plan Policy, Section 2.2.6 Part of Lot 1, Concession A in the Town of Bancroft (R.C.P. 2196, Lot 57 and Part of Lot 56) on the west side of Mill Street South, as shown on Schedule UCSP – A.1, shall be developed by registered plan of subdivision or plan of condominium for medium density residential uses.

The proposed residential and mixed use blocks conform to the policies of the Official Plan.

The Urban Residential land use designation permits the establishment of commercial uses the Official Plan policy states, “…Other uses considered necessary to serve residential areas may be permitted, including open space and community facilities such as parks and playgrounds, places of worship, and neighbourhood commercial uses. Non-residential uses are encouraged to locate in local service nodes, such as major road intersections and grouped in such a manner as to minimize the impact on neighbouring residential uses.” This policy has been broadly interpreted in the Town of Bancroft to include a wider range of uses within the neighbourhood commercial zone of the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-Law. The proposed commercial uses to be introduced are already permitted in the Local Commercial C3 zone. The applicant is proposing to introduce senior citizen’s residential dwelling, private retirement residence and Home for the aged/rest home uses in a site specific ‘C3-**’ zone. The proposed additional uses are in conformity with the Urban Residential policies of the Official Plan.

17

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 67 of 139 As a condition of draft plan approval, the subdivision agreement to be entered into with the Council of the Town of Bancroft shall include a clause outlining how the development is to proceed in phases in accordance with municipal servicing capacity.

It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the proposed development conforms to the applicable policies of the Official Plan.

Affordable Housing: On October 2, 2020 County Planning Staff met with municipal staff regarding the application of the Housing policies of the Provincial Policy Statement, Affordable Housing policies of the Hastings County Official Plan and also the affordable housing direction in the Town of Bancroft’s Economic Strategic Plan to the proposed mixed use commercial and residential development known a Fountain Hill subdivision.

The Official Plan policies identifies the provision of safe and affordable housing as a priority and is working toward providing safe and affordable accommodation through the County’s Housing and Homelessness Plan. In addition to this plan the County and its member municipalities are working to achieve affordable housing in new construction and redevelopment projects in the County. This endeavour to raise the quality of life for our residents identified as being of low or moderate income includes an upward target of 25% affordable units.

Low and moderate income is defined in the Provincial Policy Statement as meaning, a) In the case of ownership housing, households with incomes in the lowest 60 percent of the income distribution for the regional market area; or b) In the case of rental housing, households with incomes in the lowest 60 percent of income distribution for renter households for the regional market area.

Regional market area is defined in the PPS as meaning, “…an area that has a high degree of social and economic interaction. The upper or single-tier municipality, or planning area, will normally serve as the regional market area. However, where a regional market area extends significantly beyond these boundaries, then the regional market area may be based on the larger market area. Where regional market areas are sparsely populated, a smaller area, if defined in an official plan, may be utilized.”

For the purpose of our review the 2016 census data was used to establish a rough estimate for regional market area and the median income of that area. The median income was averaged from the following census subdivisions: a) Bancroft (Town); b) Tudor and Cashel (Township); c) Limerick (Township); d) Faraday (Township); e) Carlow/Mayo (Township); and f) (Municipality).

Based upon the available census data the regional median income is $49,760.00 per annum.

18

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 68 of 139 The 2016 census data for the Town of Bancroft identified 950 persons as low income in the Town of Bancroft. That is approximately 1 in 4 persons potentially living at or below the poverty line. Available statistics from the County’s housing department has identified that more than 1 in 5 households are in core housing need and 37.5% pay more than 30% on shelter. The Town of Bancroft Council and administration takes the health and welfare and the provision of safe and affordable for the residents of the Town seriously.

The PPS states, “…where planning is conducted by an upper tier municipality, the upper tier municipality in consultation with the lower tier municipalities may identify a higher target(s) which shall represent the minimum targets for these lower tier municipalities (Subsection 1.4.3(a), Housing, PPS).”

Consistent with the abovementioned policy The Town of Bancroft has initiated a process of raising the bar on the provision of affordable housing in their community. The first step in this process was the approval of recommendation number 13 in the Town of Bancroft’s Economic Strategic Plan in which the Town accepted that, municipalities are in the affordable housing business.” Further the town has committed to being a champion of “new affordable housing supply.”

In advance of a municipal housing strategy the Town of Bancroft has already initiated a private public partnership (PPP) project to construct affordable housing units, as well as processing applications for multiple dwelling residential units (including the Fountain Hill Zoning By-Law Amendment application in conjunction with the County’s processing of the Plan of Subdivision).

As part of the planning review process the Hastings County Planning and Development Department engaged with municipal staff to discuss the application of the affordable housing policies for this development in the context of the PPS, Official Plan and the Town’s Economic Strategic Plan. The Official Plan includes four broad based directions for achieving the 25% affordable housing target. They include, “utilizing any other arrangement which may be available (Subsection 2.8.3.4(d), Affordable Housing, Hastings County Official Plan).”

The most recent iteration of the concept plan includes 35 townhouse dwelling units, a five storey multiple residential apartment building and a senior’s living residence as the residential components of the development. The dwelling units proposed will contribute to the existing housing stock and provides a variety of residential unit types other than the dominant form, single detached dwellings. The dwelling types proposed are generally considered to be a more affordable form of housing. In light of the housing types being proposed and the existing projects being undertaken by the municipality, the proposed subdivision can be considered to satisfy the affordable housing policies of the Official Plan at this time. As the municipality continues to evolve its goals for the provision of affordable housing, future development applications may be subject to scrutiny under the applicable affordable housing policies of the PPS and Official Plan, as well as any housing strategy that may be developed by the Town of Bancroft.

Parkland: During the August 12, 2020 meeting the applicant stated that they would prefer to provide parkland dedication as opposed to cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication. This statement was a result of some discussion regarding the need to maintain an existing snowmobile trail that links the Heritage trail to other trails to the north and west of the subject property. The trail through the property has been

19

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 69 of 139 identified as an important link to the west. The existing trail presently bisects the north portion of the subject lands in an east/west direction and is south of an existing creek and wooded area.

Part A, Section 7.6.4, of the Official Plan states, “Natural areas, including flood lands, hazard lands, river or creek valleys, wetlands or other environmentally sensitive areas, or significant ridges will be set aside as permanent open space and shall not necessarily constitute part of the statutory dedication for public open space use. The Member Municipality may consider acquiring natural areas as part of the 5% parkland dedication where it is in the public interest to do so and where such lands contribute to the character of the area.”

The applicant has proposed to dedicate an approximately 3.74 hectare park and open space block located along the north property line and extending from the east property line to the west property line adjacent to municipally owned lands and trail system. The lands are designated urban residential in the Hastings County Official Plan and zoned Environmental Protection ‘EP’ zone and Residential Type 3 ‘R3’ zone. The EP zone is applied to the creek that runs through this portion of the property. The area is wooded and slopes eastward toward the York River.

Part A, Section 7.6.3, of the Official Plan states, “All lands dedicated for parkland purposes within a plan of subdivision or plan of condominium must be in a satisfactory physical condition and be located in a manner, which provides for their use by residents of all ages and physical abilities.”

The amount of parkland dedication legislated in the Planner Act for a residential development is 5% and for commercial 2%. The calculated required parkland dedication would be approximately 1.0 hectare. The typical criteria for receiving appropriate parkland dedication is that it is unencumbered, clean, green and drained. The applicant has proposed to dedicate a much greater area which includes a creek and the wooded area at the north portion of the property. With this dedication the snowmobile trail linking the Hastings Heritage Trail to the Vance Park trail system will be maintained. The existing trail will have to be moved to within the park and open space block.

“The conceptual illustration of a trail on my graphic was intended to represent an extension of the trail system in Vance Park to reach the Hastings Heritage Trail. Whether it is a passive trail or a snowmobile trail or both can be left for another day. The main issue is trail connectivity.”(Town of Bancroft Comments, September 04, 2020)

The proposed park and open space dedication is inconformity with the Policies of the Official Plan, will facilitate the maintaining of an important recreational link between two trail systems and constitutes good land use planning.

Bicycle Parking and Amenity space: The active transportation policies of the Official Plan promote multi-modal transportation within the member municipalities (see Part A Sections 3.6.5.1 and 3.6.5.2, Part B Section 2.2.3.4 of the Official Plan). The proximity of this development to the Town of Bancroft’s urban core and the Heritage Trail make it an ideal location for future residents utilize alternative modes of transportation and also for the travelling public to stop while commuting between communities on the Heritage Trail. The provision of required bicycle parking could be incorporated into the site specific zone and/or at site plan control for each of the proposed blocks.

20

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 70 of 139 Zoning Conformity & Compliance: The subject property and proposed development was reviewed against the existing zone categories and the proposed new site specific zone categories proposed by the applicant and supported by the Planning Justification report prepared by IBI Group and dated February 27, 2019, plus addendums.

The following is an overview of the existing zones and proposed new zones requested to be applied to the proposed development , as well as planning staff discussion and analysis.

Existing Zoning: The subject property is presently zoned Multiple Dwelling Residential ‘R3’ Zone, Local Commercial ‘C3’ Zone and Environmental Protection ‘EP’ Zone in the Town of Bancroft Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 27-2006.

Proposed Zoning: The applicant is requesting permission to rezone the subject property by modifying the existing zones and changing zone boundaries in order to facilitate the proposed development, protect identified natural heritage resources and recognize the physical constraints presented by the topography.

The applicant is proposing to modify the C3 zone to an Exception Local Commercial C3-* Zone to permit a senior’s residence use (senior citizen’s residential dwelling, private retirement residence and Home for the aged/rest home).

The following table illustrates the proposed changes to the Local Commercial C3 zone:

The Hotel and Banquet Hall may share parking facilities, subject to a shared use agreement Minimum Dwelling N/A 23 sq. m Unit Size within a senior citizen’s residential dwelling, private retirement residence and Home for the aged/rest home

The proposed Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone has been drafted to maximize the utility of the buildable area on the subject property.

Discussion: 23

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 73 of 139 The applicant has submitted an application for Zoning By-Law Amendment to Zoning By-Law Number 27-2006 requesting permission to apply an Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone and Exception Local Commercial C3-* Zone to the subject property.

Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone: The applicant has requested that the Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone include hotel as a permitted use. Planning Staff, in consultation with Town planning staff, do not recommend support of the inclusion of a commercial use such as a hotel within the residential zone category. It is the opinion of planning staff that the requested hotel use is not consistent with the spirit and intent of the residential zone. In addition to the requested additional use the applicant is requesting reductions in minimum lot area and building setbacks in order to maximize the utility of the proposed blocks. From an architectural design perspective. It is the opinion of planning staff that the proposed modified setbacks are consistent with typical medium density urban residential zones and provide adequate buffering and open space to develop an aesthetically pleasing streetscape. The applicant has also requested an increase in maximum building height to facilitate the proposed construction of a mid-rise residential apartment building.

Provided that the hotel use is removed from the requested zone, the application of the Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone to the proposed development, including the future development block, is more in conformity with the Urban Residential land use designation policies and the site specific Official Plan policies requiring that the lands be development with medium density residential because more of the property is within the multiple dwelling residential zone category than the existing zone boundaries.

Exception Local Commercial C3-* Zone: The applicant has requested that the Exception Local Commercial C3-* Zone include senior citizen’s residential dwelling, private retirement residence and Home for the aged/rest home as permitted uses. Planning Staff, in consultation with Town planning staff, support the requested additional uses within the Site Specific Local Commercial ‘C3-*’ Zone. The proposed additional use will provide an opportunity expand the variety of housing stock available in the Town of Bancroft.

Similar to the Exception Multiple Dwelling Residential R3-* Zone, the applicant is requesting permission to reduce minimum lot areas and setbacks in order to maximize the buildable area of the proposed commercial blocks. The reduced setbacks will increase the ability to locate and orient buildings on the block to maximize their utility. The applicant has not requested a reduction in percentage lot coverage.

Planning Staff are satisfied with the Exception Local Commercial C3-* Zone as proposed.

Environmental Protection ‘EP’ Zone: The Environmental Protection ‘EP’ Zone has been applied to hazard lands in the north portion of the subject property consisting of an unnamed creek. The ‘EP’ Zone is located within Block 6 of the Draft Plan of Subdivision drawing and is proposed to be dedicated to the Town of Bancroft as part of a Park and Open Space block. There are no changes proposed to the Environmental Protection ‘EP’ zone with respect to location or area.

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 75 of 139 Technical Circulation Process The application has been circulated to a number of internal departments and external agencies for review and comments. The technical studies submitted in support of the application have been peered reviewed at the expense of the applicant. The responses to the technical circulation have been incorporated into the Draft Plan of Subdivision drawing and Conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision.

At the time of submission of site plan control the applications for the development of the proposed blocks will be reviewed against Part A Section 7.5 of the Official Plan. The adequate provision of amenity space will be reviewed at the time of site plan control approval.

Public Comments:

1) The residents on Battelle Road expressed a concern that the subdivision will connect directly to Battelle Road and result in increased traffic volumes and noise within the existing low density residential development.

Street ‘C’ is proposed to terminate on the south east corner of the proposed development adjacent to Battelle Road. The proposed street ‘C’ will provide a means of secondary emergency access to the proposed development. A 0.3 metre reserve block is proposed to be applied to the perimeter of the street terminus to prevent a direct connection to Battelle Road.

Prior to the development of the blocks adjacent to the existing residential uses the applicant will be required to obtain site plan control approval from the Town of Bancroft. The site plan review process will include a review of the potential adverse effects of the proposed development on existing surrounding sensitive land uses and provide mitigation measures within the approved plan and development agreement.

2) Safety concerns were expressed regarding the traffic that will have to travel over the Hasting Heritage Trail to access the proposed development.

A traffic study was completed in support of the proposed development. At the detailed design stage of the approval process the applicant will have to demonstrate how Street ‘A’ will be designed to safely intersect with Mill Street and accommodate the Hastings Heritage Trail. This will include the provision of easements over the trail and possibly agreements between the developer and Hastings County.

3) Where will the Water supply and Hydro supply be sourced to supply the new proposed Subdivision?

The applicant has completed a servicing study in support of the proposed development. The applicant is proposing to obtain services for the proposed development from Battelle Road and Mill Street. The servicing of the proposed development will require the looping of the water service which will result in decreased maintenance costs for the municipality and a more robust and reliable water service.

26

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-19-001 - Fountain Hil... Page 76 of 139 4) In the proposed Subdivision development plan what is going to happen with the Creek and Woodland separating Part of Lot 57, Registrar’s Compile Plan 2196, Town of Bancroft and our property Part of Lot 55 & 56, Registrar’s Compile Plan 2196, Town of Bancroft?

The applicant is proposing to dedicate the creek and woodland area as parkland dedication and open space to the Town of Bancroft. The connecting trail between Vance Park and the Hastings Heritage Trail will be re-located to the park block.

5) The proposed Subdivision development plan refers to “1- future development block” what is likely to go in that designated area?

The future development block will have to be developed in conformity with the Urban Residential land use designation policies and the site specific policies of the Official Plan.

Two correspondence in support of the application were received by Planning Staff.

Other: The Planning and Development Department in consultation with Town Staff reviewed the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision against the recommendations of the economic strategic plan. It is the opinion of the Planning and Economic Development Department that the proposed development is consistent with the strategic direction adopted by the Town of Bancroft Council.

Conclusion: It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the application for a mixed use commercial and residential plan of subdivision and the requested site specific zones will facilitate the proposed development as envisioned by the applicant and are in conformity with the applicable land use designations and applicable policies of the Official plan. The supporting studies have been peer reviewed and circulated to external agencies for comment. These studies have been amended to address the concerns and deficits identified by the peer reviewers and external agencies to the satisfaction of those entities.

The proposed Draft Plan of subdivision is appropriate and constitutes good land use planning.

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 98 of 139 Site Characteristics: The subject property is located adjacent and is bounded to the York River to the north, east and south. The west property boundary is adjacent to the Heritage Trail, a multi-use trail. Faraday Creek crosses the subject property from west to east and drains into the York River. The lands surrounding Faraday Creek are designated a provincially significant wetland. An unnamed creek and associated wetland bisects the south west corner of the subject property near the intersection of Nicklaus Drive and Chemaushgon Road.

The north portion of the property is largely undisturbed and is wooded.

There is existing residential development on Nicklaus Drive (Phase 1 of the Development) and on abutting lands at the intersection of Nicklaus Drive and Chemaushgon Road. Building permits for structures have been issued on lots fronting onto Bancroft Ridge Drive (Phase 2). Recently, the Town of Bancroft formally assumed Bancroft Ridge Road as a public road.

There is a single access to the existing propose development from Nicklaus Drive which terminates at Chemaushgon Road.

Background: The original application for this development was submitted October 17, 2002. The Draft Plan of Subdivision was approved by council and was to be developed in five phases subject to a development agreement registered on title on May 30, 2006 (HT-17342). The original approved development consisted of 192 single detached dwelling lots. Phase one (21M-216) was registered on title on May 30, 2006. The second phase was approved and registered (21M-223) on May 24, 2007 (Registered Plan Document Number HT-32383). No subsequent phases have been registered on title. The lands subject to this application for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-Law Amendment consists of part of Phase 3 and all of Phase 4 as described in Schedule ‘C’ of the subdivision agreement. The Draft Plan of Subdivision approval lapsed and was not extended. Consequently, an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision was required to be submitted for this development (File Number 12T-20-002). On December 04, 2019 the applications for Draft Plan of Condominium and Consent (File Numbers CD12-19-001 and B110/19, B111/19 and B112/19) were deemed complete by the Hastings County Planning and Development Department and were circulated for technical comments. The applications for Consent received approval in principle and the Notice of Approval was sent to the applicant with Conditions of Consent. At the request of the applicant (letter dated May 05, 2020) the application for Draft Plan of Condominium has been changed to an application for Draft Plan of Subdivision. The developer has completed the Conditions of Consent and received a certificate of official from the County’s Land Division Secretary.

There is existing residential development on Nicklaus Drive (Phase 1 of the Development) and on abutting lands at the intersection of Nicklaus Drive and Chemaushgon Road. Building permits for structures have been issued on lots fronting onto Bancroft Ridge Drive (Phase 2). Recently, the Town of Bancroft formally assumed Bancroft Ridge Road as a public road.

15

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 99 of 139 There is an easement registered on title that was established to provide a second emergency access from Trout Lake Lane to the development. This easement was never constructed and maintained.

The lands are serviced by municipal water only.

PART VI - Comments/Analysis Provincial Policy Statement: The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development, which are complemented by local policies addressing local interests. The application being considered is site specific to accommodate a specific proposal and does not involve any major policy issues. The Official Plan

The proposal is consistent with the following relevant policies of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) with respect to the following:

 Promoting cost-effective development standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs (Section 1.1.1.e);

The proposed 105 residential lot subdivision satisfies this policy due to its proximity to an existing approved residential development. The proposed residential subdivision is an efficient use of the developable land available in this location. The applicant has successfully designed a development that can satisfy the minimum residential density target of the Official Plan. The residential single detached dwellings to be constructed will be connected to available municipal water service.

 Section 1.1.3.1, Settlement areas shall be the focus of growth and development

The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision is located within the Urban Area of the Town of Bancroft and is designated Urban Residential in Part B of the Official Plan.

 Section 1.1.3.6, New development taking place in designated growth areas should occur adjacent to the existing built up area and should have a compact, mix of uses and densities that allow for the efficient use of land, infrastructure and public service facilities.

The proposed development is the natural progression of an existing low density residential development. The partial servicing permitted in this location precludes any significant increases in residential density. The applicant has been able to demonstrate through the completion of supporting studies such as a servicing and storm water management report and phosphorous study that the subject lands can safely accommodate 105 single detached residential dwelling lots. The proposed development will include access to an existing trail system, the York River, private recreational areas and the abutting golf course. The distance from the proposed development to the Town’s Central Business District (CBD) is approximately three kilometres. The CBD can be accessed from the proposed development using the existing multi-use trail (Hastings Heritage Trail) or by road.

16

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 100 of 139  The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be optimized, wherever feasible, before consideration is given to developing new infrastructure and public service facilities (Section 1.6.2).

The residential development will be developed using municipal water service and private septic systems. The partial servicing option to be applied is in conformity with the site specific Official Plan policy applied to this location. Planning staff recommend that to conform to the long term servicing policies of the PPS and Hastings County Official Plan a clause be included in the subdivision agreement requiring the development to be connected to municipal waste water services when they are made available.

 Section 1.6.6.5 (b) Partial Services shall only be permitted in the following circumstances,

b) Within settlement areas, to allow for infilling and minor rounding out of existing development on partial services provided that site conditions are suitable for the long- term provisions of such services with no negative impacts.

In support of the partial servicing option the applicant has completed a servicing and storm water management report and a phosphorous study, prepared by Tatham Engineering. The recommendation of the supporting studies is that the proposed 105 lot single detached dwelling residential development can be safely established serviced by municipal water services and using conventional septic systems. The servicing proposed for this development is consistent with the servicing being provided for the existing surrounding residential development on Nicklaus Drive and Bancroft Ridge Drive.

Partial servicing is specifically permitted at this location in Section 2.2.7.1(b), Part B of the Hastings County Official Plan and addressed later in this report.

The application for Draft Plan of Subdivision was reviewed against the relevant policies of the PPS. It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the proposed development is in conformity with the relevant policies of the Provincial Policy Statement.

Official Plan: The lands subject to the application for Draft Plan of Subdivision are designated Urban Residential, Urban Environmental Protection and Urban Environmental Protection PSW in the Official Plan. The flood plain and floodway for the York River encroaches onto the subject property. There is a site specific Official Plan policy applied to the Rivers Edge Golf course and abutting lands.

Urban Residential (Section 2.2.1): The purpose of the urban residential land use designation is to identify existing and future residential areas within the urban boundary. The policy protects the integrity of existing residential neighbourhoods within the urban boundary and also to identify and facilitate the location of future residential development and defines the primary and accessory uses to be developed within this land use designation. The urban residential land use designation is designed to promote a range of residential development supported by ancillary uses such as parks (including private parks), places of worship and small-scale neighbourhood commercial development. 17

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 101 of 139 The portion of the lands proposed to be development for residential and private recreational purposes are located within the Urban Residential land use designation.

The proposed development consists of 105 residential blocks (vacant land Subdivision) that intend to accommodate the development of single detached dwelling units. The Urban Residential land use designation permits the development of single detached dwellings as infill or through the Consent, Plan of Subdivision and Plan of Condominium processes.

The policies of the Official Plan require new residential development to be accessed by a municipally assumed and maintained road. The applicant has proposed to develop a new road to facilitate the development. Through negotiations with Town staff the typical municipal road width of 20 metres has been reduced to 18 metres.

The minimum density targets within the Urban Residential land use designation is 10 residential units per gross hectare and an average target of 24 persons per gross hectare (Section 2.2.4.2, Part B Hastings County Official Plan). The area within the urban residential land use designation to be developed for residential purposes has a calculated density of approximately 10 residential units per hectare. The proposed development conforms to the density target policies of the Official Plan.

The Official Plan promotes responsible development by requiring new development within the urban area to be developed on municipal sanitary and water services (Section 2.2.4.8, Part B Hastings County Official Plan). However, partial servicing are recognized as being acceptable for development within an urban area in specific circumstances to round out development and infill situations. The site- specific Official Plan policies applied to this property permit the development to proceed on partial services. They are:

Section 2.2.7.1(b), Part B Hastings County Official Plan, “Water and sewer services shall be provided by extension of municipal piped water subject to available capacity and municipal piped sewers subject to capacity; alternatively a privately built communal system may be used, provided arrangements are made through an agreement for the Town of Bancroft to assume ownership of any privately built communal sewage system or a combination of public and private servicing may be considered, subject to the approval of a servicing design and justification report. “subject to the approval of a servicing design and justification report.”

The applicant has submitted a Servicing Options and Stormwater Management Study, Phosphorous Study and a Geotechnical Study in support of the application. A peer review analysis and external circulation to the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) was conducted for the abovementioned studies. The comments receive from the peer reviewer and the MECP were addressed to the satisfaction of each party and included as an addendum to the study. The Conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision require the developer to implement the recommendations of the studies through the subdivision agreement.

18

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 102 of 139 Urban Environmental Protection and Urban Environmental Protection PSW (Section 2.6, Part B Hastings County Official Plan): The Urban Environmental Protection land use designation includes lands subject to natural hazards, natural heritage features and areas including Provincially Significant Wetlands ‘PSW’, and areas of groundwater or surface water discharge and recharge.

The subject property is located adjacent to the York River and has two tributaries of the river flowing through it. The areas designated Environmental Protection are located adjacent to the tributaries and the York River as well as to the north portion of the subject property. In support of the application the applicant has submitted an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) completed by GHD Limited.

The purpose of this report to evaluate known provincially significant wetland and woodland areas within the proposed development and assess potential Species at Risk habitat which may result in possible ecological constraints affecting the proposed development. This report identified the key natural features and confirmed their function. The report also identified species at risk, their habitat and developed recommendations for buffering and mitigation measures to prevent adverse impacts potentially resulting from the proposed development on these features and functions.

The EIS included detailed aquatic, terrestrial and aerial field analysis to identify any species at risk that may inhabit the subject property.

The study provided the following conclusion, “Significant natural features identified in the study area included fish habitat, significant wildlife habitat, significant wetlands and habitat of endangered species. A 30 metre buffer has been recommended adjacent to the significant wetlands. Mitigation measures have been recommended for significant wildlife habitat. MECP must be contacted to obtain a permit to protect endangered and threatened species (whip-poor-will) and/or their habitat.

Construction within the proposed development envelope will result in no negative impacts on the functions of identified natural heritage features, provide the recommendations outlined in Sections 5 and 7 are implemented. GHD’s recommendations have been made to address potential impacts to natural heritage features and/or their functions during the site preparation, construction and post- construction period. Additional discussions with the County of Hastings, OMNRF and MECP will need to occur so that appropriate permitting processes are followed (Environmental Impact Study, prepared by GHD Limited, dated August 17, 2020).”

The conditions of draft plan of subdivision include a requirement that the recommendations of the Environmental Impact Study be incorporated into the subdivision agreement and implemented by the developer to the satisfaction of the Town of Bancroft.

Flood Plain and Flood Fringe Special Policy Area (Section 2.7.3, Part B Hastings County Official Plan): The areas located within the flood way and flood fringe are subject to specific development policies and design criteria to mitigate the risk of flood damage to buildings and structures located within the flood fringe and flood area boundary.

19

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 103 of 139 All lands within 30 metres of the Highwater mark have been zoned Hazard ‘H’ Zone, in the Town of Bancroft Zoning By-Law Number 27-2006 and will remain in this zone category.

The proposed development lands within the flood fringe area will have a site specific zone with a flood fringe suffix (f) applied to the zone. The general provisions of the Town of Bancroft Zoning By- Law implement the development criteria outlined in Section 2.7.3 of Part B of the Hastings County Official Plan. In addition, the following condition has included in the Conditions of Draft Plan of Subdivision:

“Building and Septic System Permit Requirement: All applications for building and septic system permits shall include a plot plan prepared by a qualified Ontario Land Surveyor and includes a cross-section of the site elevations illustrating springtime ground water level in relation to the sewage system and basement floor, if applicable.”

Special Development Policy – Riverside Pines Development (Rivers Edge Golf Course), Town of Bancroft (Section 2.2.7, Part B Hastings County Official Plan): The purpose of the site-specific Official Plan policy was to provide direction for the establishment of a hotel/resort, golf course and residential developments in addition to associated amenities such as a pool and multi-use trails. The policy includes a list of five criteria that must be addressed in order to proceed with the mixed-use development.

Through the Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-Law Amendment application and review processes, and as described in the report, the applicant has fulfilled the criteria outlined in this site specific policy.

It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the proposed development conforms to the applicable policies of the Official Plan.

Zoning Conformity & Compliance: The subject property and proposed development was reviewed against the existing zone categories and the proposed new site specific zone categories proposed by the applicant and supported by the Planning Justification report prepared by EcoVue Consulting Services Inc., dated October 08, 2019, technical response letter dated May 05, 2020 and revised zone submission received December 24, 2021.

The following is an overview of the existing zones and proposed new zones requested to be applied to the proposed development , as well as planning staff discussion and analysis.

Existing Zoning:

The subject property is presently zoned Residential Type One – Exception Three ‘(R1-3)’ Zone, Residential Type One – Exception Three – York River Flood Fringe (R1-3(f)) Zone, Natural Hazards Zone – Exception Two (H-2), Rural (RU) Zone, , Rural – York River Flood Fringe (RU(f)) Zone in the Town of Bancroft Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 27-2006 (see Attachment 5 Current Zoning Map).

20

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 104 of 139 Natural Hazards Exception Zone (H-2): The Natural Hazards (H) Zone has been applied to areas on the subject property that are located within the flood plain and are adjacent to the York River and its tributaries. This zone prohibits development within the floodplain and adjacent to watercourses (Sections 22.1.2 and 22.1.3, Zoning By-Law No. 27-2006).

The permitted uses within this zone are conservation, existing uses, building and structures, park and public uses. The Natural Hazards – Exception Two (H-2) Zone applied to the subject property includes the following additional uses:

a) A storm water management pond (H-2) b) Existing golf course, without structures (H-2)

The Natural Hazards – Exception Two (H-2) Zone applied to the subject property prohibits any alterations to grade without the approval of the Town of Bancroft.

The Natural Hazards Zone includes special provisions for the area identified as the “York River Flood Fringe”. This special zone provision permits development in areas that may be prone to flooding or are at risk of flooding subject to specific provisions in the general provisions of the Zoning By-Law (Section 3.10, Zoning By-Law No. 27-2006).

The applicant has not requested that the lands within the Natural Hazard – Exception Two (H-2) Zone category be amended. The application of this zone is consistent with available MNRF flood mapping and the applicable policies of the Official Plan.

Residential Type One – Exception Three (R1-3) Zone: The Residential Type One - Exception Three (R1-3) and Residential Type One – Exception Three- York River Flood Fringe (R1-3(f)) Zones have been applied to the urban residential land use designation on the subject property. The proposed location of the Subdivision is on lands zoned R1-3 and R1-3(f). The R1-3 zone permits the following uses:

a) A single detached dwelling; b) An accessory building or use to the above uses; c) A Type A or Type B home occupation, according to the provisions of Section 3.16 of this by- law; and d) Type A home industry, according to the provisions of Section 3.15 of this by-law.

Special provisions have also been applied to minimum lot area, minimum lot frontage, gross floor area of a dwelling unit and required services.

The zone permits the construction of a single detached dwelling on municipal water and a private septic system approved under the Ontario Building Code.

The lands zoned R1-3(f) are also subject to the provisions in Section 3.10 of the zoning by-law.

21

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 105 of 139 Rural (RU) Zone: The Rural (RU) Zone is applied to a portion of lands at the northern end of the subject property and outside of the area proposed to be developed, but still constituting part of the proposed common element of the Draft Plan of Subdivision. The flood fringe (f) suffix applied to the zone means that any development would also be subject to Section 3.10 of the Zoning By-Law.

The Rural Zone permits a broad range of residential, agricultural and employment uses indicative of the rural community.

Proposed Zoning: The applicant is requesting permission to rezone the subject property by modifying the existing zones and changing zone boundaries in order to facilitate the proposed development, protect identified natural heritage resources and recognize the physical constraints presented by the topography and the York River.

The applicant is proposing to modify the Residential Type One (R1) Zone to special site specific ‘R1- *’ zones to facilitate the proposed smaller lot sizes and private septic systems. The flood fringe provisions are found in the General Provisions of the Zoning By-Law and require that the construction of buildings within the sub-category (f) include specific materials and flood proofing design to mitigate against the threat of flooding, flood damage and help ensure the safety of the occupants of the building. The flood fringe sub-category has been applied to the proposed lots within the flood fringe of the York River. The application of the flood fringe sub-category implements the development criteria in Section 2.7.3 of Part B of the Official Plan.

A site-specific Community Facility ‘CF-*’ zone is proposed to be applied to the recreational areas that are proposed to be for the exclusive use of the residents of the proposed development.

The following tables illustrate the proposed site-specific zones to be applied to the Plan of Subdivision:

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 109 of 139 Discussion: The Town of Bancroft Zoning By-Law identifies the location of a legal parking space to be the garage, interior side yard and rear yard (See Section 3.25.1 (n), Zoning By-Law Number 27-2006). In addition, the proposed lots will be serviced by private septic, which may be located in the rear yard. In order to be able to maintain and replace these systems adequate space between the main building and the lot line will have to be established to provide access to the septic system. It is recommended that the proposed site specific zone be further modified to include a reduced minimum interior side yard setback from 2 metres to 1.2 metres, but also a minimum aggregate side yard of 5.4 metres. The reduction in the interior side yard will help mitigate the requirement to provide parking in the interior side yard and rear yard as well as maintain access to the septic system for maintenance and replacement. The recommended minimum aggregate interior side yard provision will maintain a minimum 1.2 metre setback from the property line, satisfy the minimum 2.7 metre width for a parking space and provide an 0.3 metre to accommodate exterior venting from the main building.

The Hastings County Official Plan policies direct development in the urban boundary to be constructed on municipal services unless already approved and/or zoned for private or partial services. The subject property is within a site specific policy area that permits the development to proceed on partial services. Section 2.2.4.10 of the Official Plan further states, “Areas serviced by partial services shall be identified in a separate zone in the implementing zoning by-law. “ The application is proposing that the site specific residential zones identifying the required services to be municipal water and private septic systems. Planning Staff are recommending that the additional wording be provided to the effect that when municipal sewer services are available the provision will permit connection to the service without requiring an amendment to the zone. It is the opinion of Planning Staff that the additional wording is more in keeping with the long term policy direction of both the PPS and the Official Plan to have development within the urban boundary to be connected to full municipal services.

A Holding symbol will be applied to the requested site specific residential zones requiring the developer to enter into a development agreement with the Town of Bancroft prior to the lifting of the – H Symbol and proceeding with construction of the single detached residential dwelling units (Section 2.2.7 (e) , Part B Hastings County Official Plan).

Planning Staff recommend that the following additional zone provisions be applied to the requested R1-*-H zones:

Page 112 of 139 Discussion: The requested zone for the proposed private amenity and recreational blocks are site specific Community Facility CF-**-H Zones. The applicant is requesting that the uses be limited to those present in the site specific zone they are:

Permitted uses for site Specific CF-*-H zone: “Permitted uses within the CF-5 Zone shall be limited to the following:

a) A private amenities space as a common element within a plan of condominium, which shall include amenities such as a pool, pickle ball court, fire pit, or similar active recreational facilities.”(Draft Zoning By-Law Amendment prepared by EcoVue Consulting Services)

Permitted uses for site specific CF-**-H zone: “Permitted uses within the CF-**-H Zone shall be limited to the following:

a) A private, passive recreational park as a common element within a plan of condominium. b) Non-habitable structures associated with a private, passive recreational park, such as docks, gazebos, boardwalks and lean-tos.”( Draft Zoning By-Law Amendment prepared by EcoVue Consulting Services)

It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the provision of private recreational facilities and amenity space is already identified within the permitted uses of the CF zone. It is recommended that the permitted uses be amended to change “Permitted uses within the CF-5 Zone shall be limited to the following” to “In addition to the permitted uses of the CF zone the following uses apply.”

Holding Symbol will be applied to the requested site specific Community Facility zone to apply the following recommended condition in the Planning Justification Report and addendums:

a) Development related to permitted uses within the CF-*-H Zone is subject to Site Plan Approval, under Section 41 of the Planning Act and the Town of Bancroft Site Plan Control By-law, which shall address the following:

i) Adequate buffering and landscaping between the amenity space and adjacent residential uses.

ii) Adequate parking facilities for condominium users.

It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the provision of private recreational facilities and amenity space is already identified within the permitted uses of the CF zone. It is recommended that the permitted uses be amended to change “Permitted uses within the CF-5 Zone shall be limited to the following” to “In addition to the permitted uses of the CF zone the following uses apply.”

Affordable Housing: The Official Plan policies identifies the provision of safe and affordable housing as a priority and is working toward providing safe and affordable accommodation through the County’s Housing and Homelessness Plan. In addition to this plan the County and its member municipalities are working to

29

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 113 of 139 achieve affordable housing in new construction and redevelopment projects in the County. This endeavour to raise the quality of life for our residents identified as being of low or moderate income includes an upward target of 25% affordable units.

Low and moderate income is defined in the Provincial Policy Statement as meaning, a) In the case of ownership housing, households with incomes in the lowest 60 percent of the income distribution for the regional market area; or b) In the case of rental housing, households with incomes in the lowest 60 percent of income distribution for renter households for the regional market area.

The 2016 census data for the Town of Bancroft identified 950 persons as low income in the Town of Bancroft. That is approximately 1 in 4 persons potentially living at or below the poverty line. Available statistics from the County’s housing department has identified that more than 1 in 5 households are in core housing need and 37.5% pay more than 30% on shelter. The Town of Bancroft Council and administration takes the health and welfare and the provision of safe and affordable for the residents of the Town seriously.

The PPS states, “…where planning is conducted by an upper tier municipality, the upper tier municipality in consultation with the lower tier municipalities may identify a higher target(s) which shall represent the minimum targets for these lower tier municipalities (Subsection 1.4.3(a), Housing, PPS).”

Consistent with the abovementioned policy The Town of Bancroft has initiated a process of raising the bar on the provision of affordable housing in their community. The first step in this process was the approval of recommendation number 13 in the Town of Bancroft’s Economic Strategic Plan in which the Town accepted that, municipalities are in the affordable housing business.” Further the town has committed to being a champion of “new affordable housing supply.”

In advance of a municipal housing strategy the Town of Bancroft has already initiated a private public partnership (PPP) project to construct affordable housing units, as well as processing applications for multiple dwelling residential units.

As part of the planning review process the Hastings County Planning and Development Department engaged with municipal staff to discuss the application of the affordable housing policies for this development in the context of the PPS, Official Plan and the Town’s Economic Strategic Plan. The Official Plan includes four broad based directions for achieving the 25% affordable housing target, which includes, “utilizing any other arrangement which may be available (Subsection 2.8.3.4(d), Affordable Housing, Hastings County Official Plan).”

In a correspondence dated October 7, 2020 Town of Bancroft staff verified that the municipality would not be seeking additional affordable housing units to be established in this proposed residential subdivision development.

Parkland: The proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision includes a recreation/amenities block that will be developed to provide private recreational amenities to the residents of the proposed development. The applicant has indicated that the development will include an outdoor pool, pickle ball court and fire pits. In

30

Draft Approval of Plan of Subdivision File No. 12T-20-002 - Preserve at ... Page 114 of 139 addition to this private amenity block the applicant has identified 3 additional open space blocks that will provide passive recreation with the establishment of trails and linkages to existing trail networks in the area (Hastings Heritage Trail). The applicant has indicated that the private amenities will be developed as a common element condominium. At the time of the writing of this report the application for a common element condominium had not been submitted for processing.

The Planning Act includes provisions for the dedication of Parkland to the municipality or as an alternative cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication (See Section 51.1 of the Planning Act). The Town of Bancroft has informed the Planning and Development Department that the cash-in-lieu of parkland dedication had been completed to the satisfaction of the Town of Bancroft through previous planning approvals outlined in this previously in this report.

Other: The Planning and Development Department in consultation with Town Staff reviewed the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision against the recommendations of the economic strategic plan. It is the opinion of the Planning and Economic Development Department that the proposed development is consistent with the strategic direction adopted by the Town of Bancroft Council.

Conclusion: It is the opinion of the Planning and Development Department that the application for a 105 lot residential plan of subdivision and the requested site specific zones will facilitate the proposed development as envisioned by the applicant and are in conformity with the applicable land use designations and applicable policies of the Official plan. The supporting studies have been peer reviewed and circulated to external agencies for comment. These studies have been amended to address the concerns and deficits identified by the peer reviewers and external agencies to the satisfaction of those entities.

The proposed Draft Plan of subdivision is appropriate and constitutes good land use planning.

PLANNING SECTION

There are no changes to the planning budget in 2021.

Legal Costs There is 1 matter expected to proceed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) in 2021. Legal advice and representation will be required with regard to these matters. The increase in the legal costs as a result of these hearings has been offset by a contribution from reserves and will result in no impact on the levy.

Official Plan The Official Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and came into force and effect in 2018. Hastings County budgets $15,000 per year into reserves to cover Official Plan updates and revisions.

Common Costs The County provides a wide range of services to its 14 member municipalities, the cities of Belleville, Quinte West and in the case of paramedic services to Prince Edward County. These services (POA, Community and Human Services, EMS, Long-term Care, Planning) are delivered under a number of different agreements and cost sharing arrangements. The departments that deliver these services are supported by the following central administrative and legislative groups:

Council Administration (CAO’s office) Finance/Treasury/purchasing Human Resources & Payroll Information Technology Admin Building Maintenance

Cost associated with this support are shared among the operating departments based on standard templates that have been in place since 1998 (with modifications from time to time) when the County was appointed Consolidated Municipal Services Manager (CMSM) by the Province. Using a standard template provides for a transparent and equitable method to ensure that each of the departments and partners pays their fair share. The costs being allocated increased be 2.98% in 2021.

2021 Draft Budget Page 131 of 139 9-1-1

In addition to call volumes, as technology continues to evolve and improve, there are more and more ways to access 9-1-1 services. Correspondingly, the regulatory regime is becoming increasingly complex as more and more regulations (e.g. texting to 9-1-1 and Next Generation 9- 1-1) are mandated at the federal level. This includes requirements for real time texting to 9-1-1 and more recently, requirements to allow for pictures and video calling. While these mandates improve 9-1-1 services, at a municipal level these mandates require significant time to educate, train, and coordinate their implementation.

While 9-1-1 call volumes fluctuate from year to year, they have been increasing over time. When combined with the significant increase in cell phone usage to 77%, the increase in calls has led to increasing numbers of “incidents” (e.g. potential delayed response times) that have required investigation by the 9-1-1 Coordinator including reviewing the programming on cell towers and working with the wireless service providers.

As the dates/timing for the transition to Next Generation 9-1-1 near, the workload of the 9-1- 1 Coordinator’s role continues to increase. Staff continue working and coordinating actions with our partner agencies/first responders to ensure we are prepared and ready for the transition to Next Generation 9-1-1.

Purchased Services

This line represents the cost of the contract with Northern911 for our 9-1-1 answering service, also known as our Primary Public Safety Answering Point (P-PSAP). The contract was renewed in April 2017 for a 5-year term, with an option for automatic renewal for two one year periods. Planning will begin in the fall of 2021 to ensure the contract will be renewed and/or a contract is in place early 2022.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

In May of 2020, Council passed a COVID-19 Economic Response Plan, complementing the refreshed Economic Development Action Plan and Tourism Development Plan also adopted in early 2020. The 2021 budget continues to supports local business through the continued implementation of these plans including marketing and directing traffic to the new Hastings.ca website which features a clearinghouse of government supports for local businesses, information on workshops and seminars, and is a wealth of information on experiences and what to see and do across Hastings County. The budget continues to balance support for local business and marketing efforts for the County with the need to ensure the health and safety if our residents.

The 2021 Budget includes the following highlights:

2021 Draft Budget Page 132 of 139 Marketing Plan Utilizing the Wildly Authentic Hastings Brand, the budget supports marketing to remote workers and investors outside of our area and encourages relocating to Hastings County. This includes support to produce stories and testimonials for publication featuring those who have successfully relocated here.

The Economic Response Plan recommends inviting workers and entrepreneurs to visit Hastings County first through a “test drive”. The budget includes coordination of “Familiarization Tours” (when safe to do so) to bring business owners and “Lone Eagles” from the City on a tour to meet with existing businesses who have relocated here, see businesses/properties for sale, visit some local attractions and learn more about the ‘Hastings Advantage’ in person.

Investment & Attraction Branding The budget supports membership in the Ontario East Economic Development Commission’s (OEEDC) new Marketing Team in partnership with neighbouring Counties and municipalities across Eastern Ontario. Membership allows Hastings County to affordably market available land and business opportunities through OEEDC’s strategic lead generation campaigns, their new online property listing tool and through presence at trade shows and events that OEEDC organizes.

EOTA/Trails

The County continues to have ownership in the Trails and recognizes the Trails are integral to supporting the Tourism sector. As a result, the budget continues with a commitment of $25,000/year towards the Eastern Ontario Trails Alliance and $15,000 to purchase portions of the CP Trail that have title issues.

Natural Resources and Agriculture

The Hastings County Plowing Match ($4,000) and Bancroft Area Forest Industry Association ($4,000) are supported through this budget line. In addition, Harvest Hastings receives $12,000 to support promotions of local food and locally grown products and coordinate workshops. Natural Resources and Agriculture are key elements recognized in the Economic Development Action Plan. Funding these organizations recognizes the impact they have throughout the County.

Tourism Development The budget supports working with local tourism businesses to leverage existing attractions to develop new experiences and packages to promote to tourists, elevate visitor spending and create longer stays.
