Report 2022-125 Planning Advisory Committee Recommend Report To:

Chair and Members of Planning Advisory Committee

From:

Kelly Pender, Chief Administrative Officer

Prepared by:

Sonya Bolton, Manager of Community Planning

Date of meeting:

November 10, 2022

Re:

Planning and Economic Development Department Official Plan Amendment – County of Frontenac Official Plan Administrative Amendments to Address Bills 13 and 109

Recommendation Be It Resolved That the County of Frontenac Planning Advisory Committee recommends to County Council: That the draft by-law, included as Attachment 1 to Report Number 2022-125, adopting Official Plan Amendment Number 2 to the County of Frontenac Official Plan, to implement Bills 13 and 109, be approved; and, That the Official Plan of the County of Frontenac, as amended, be further amended as per the draft by-law in Attachment 1 to Report Number 2022-125, being Official Plan Amendment Number 2 for the County of Frontenac Official Plan. Background The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to make administrative changes to the County’s Official Plan to implement recent changes to the Ontario Planning Act through Bill 13, Supporting Businesses and People Act, 2021 and Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022. Specifically, the amendment will include policies in the County Official Plan regarding complete planning applications, pre-application consultation for planning applications, and delegated authority for planning approvals. A copy of the draft by-law for the amendment is included as Attachment 1 to this report, while a track changes version of the Official Plan Amendment text is included as Attachment 2.

Page 24 of 55

Bill 13, Supporting People and Businesses Act, 2021 Bill 13, the Supporting People and Businesses Act, 2021, was introduced on October 7, 2021. Schedule 19 of the Bill made changes to the Planning Act, which came into force December 2, 2021, upon royal assent. The change that was made was to provide municipal councils with broader authority to allow more planning decisions to be made by committees of council or staff. In addition to other forms of delegated authority (e.g., consents dealing with lot additions or easements being delegated to senior staff), municipalities can now delegate decisions dealing with minor amendments to zoning bylaws. These minor amendments would include temporary use by-laws and the removal of holding symbols. The municipality’s official plan must outline the types of by-laws that may be subject to delegated authority, and then they must pass a by-law specifically outlining who is assigned the authority and any conditions associated with it. Bill 109, More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022 Bill 109, the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022, received Royal Assent on April 14, 2022, and most amendments being made came into force on that day. Other dates where amendments come into force include July 1, 2022 and January 1, 2023. There are several different Acts that are affected by Bill 109. The following summary covers the key amendments specific to the Planning Act, which is Schedule 5 of Bill 109. a. Commenced on Royal Assent (April 14, 2022) The following is a summary of the key changes that took effect on April 14, 2022: •

To help with completeness of site plan control applications, municipalities will establish complete application requirements. Applicants are already required to consult with the municipality before submitting plans and drawings for approval. The timeline for municipalities to approve site plan control applications has increased from 30 to 60 days.

•

For plans of subdivision, the changes establish a one-time discretionary authority to allow municipalities (in this case the County of Frontenac) to reinstate draft plans of subdivision that have lapsed within the past five years without the need for a new application. This authority only applies where no agreements of purchase and sale had been entered into prior to the lapsing of the draft plan of subdivision. The changes also establish regulation-making authority for the province to prescribe what can and/or cannot be required as a condition of draft plan of subdivision approval.

•

If the approval authority for an Official Plan is the Minister, the Minister may suspend the time period required after which there may be appeals of the failure of the Minister to make a decision in respect of an official plan or an official plan amendment.

•

New process in place for the Minister as an approval authority to refer all or part of official plans to the Ontario Land Tribunal for a recommendation before making a decision.

•

Processes and rules are outlined for an additional type of Minister’s Order that is being added where they are responding to municipal council resolutions requesting expedited zoning. Provincial plans, the Provincial Policy Statement, and municipal Official Plans would not apply to the Minister’s order, and the Minister would be able to impose conditions on the municipality and/or proponent. These conditions could be reflected in agreements registered on title. The Minister must issue guidelines governing the scope of how this authority may be used before an order can be made, and the Province has just release the Community Infrastructure and Housing Accelerator tool and guidelines as part of the implementation of Bill 109.

b. Commenced on July 1, 2022 As of July 1, 2022, the approval of site plan control applications must be delegated to an authorized person (employee/staff, appointed officer, or agent of the municipality) to make a decision, instead of municipal councils or committees of council. This applies to all site plan control applications received on or after July 1, 2022. All four townships in the County of Frontenac have passed by-laws delegating the authority to approve site plan control applications to senior township staff. These bylaws were in place for the July 1, 2022 deadline. c. To Commence on January 1, 2023 A refund schedule is being put in place for certain planning applications where a decision is not made by the municipality within certain timeframes. This change will affect Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By-Law Amendments, and Site Plan Control Applications. At present, the refund requirement does not apply to Committee of Adjustment applications (e.g., consents and minor variances). The following are the refund requirements set by the province: No Refund

The statutory public meeting required by the Planning Act is scheduled for November 10, 2022. At this meeting, County staff will provide a brief presentation about the proposed amendment. After the presentation, staff will address questions from the Committee, as well as members of the public.

Policy Review Official Plan Amendments are required to be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 and conform to the County of Frontenac Official Plan. a. Provincial Policy Statement (2020) The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development. The PPS promotes the wise use and management of resources, efficient land use and development patterns that support strong, liveable, and healthy communities, and the protection of the environment and public health and safety. Under Section 3 of the Planning Act, all municipal decisions regarding planning applications “shall be consistent with” applicable provincial policy. It is the opinion of County planning staff that the Official Plan Amendment being considered is administrative in nature and required to comply with provincial legislation, and as such is consistent with the policies of the PPS. b. County of Frontenac Official Plan (2016) The County of Frontenac Official Plan is a framework for guiding development in the County through the management and protection of the natural environment and by providing direction and influence on growth patterns. It is focused on the six themes of economic sustainability, growth management, community building, housing and social services, heritage and culture, and environmental sustainability. It is the opinion of County planning staff that the Official Plan Amendment being considered is administrative in nature and required to comply with provincial legislation, and that it conforms to the general intent of the County of Frontenac Official Plan. Planning Analysis County planning staff met with staff from all four townships on September 20, 2022 to discuss how to address their planning processes for the types of applications noted above, to meet the required timelines, and avoid the need to refund fees. The following is a summary of the revised process that was discussed: •

Clearly define what constitutes a complete application, including any formal comments from technical review agencies or third-party peer reviews of studies.

•

Restructure the pre-application consultation process so that it includes multiple phases: initial consultation, site visit, and technical review, etcetera, prior to an application being deemed complete.

•

Holding an open house for large or complex files (at the discretion of the townships), so that the public can provide comments before the application is deemed complete.

•

Once all issues have been resolved to the townships’ satisfaction, the application can be deemed complete and the regular process of scheduling the public meeting

(for Official Plan Amendments and Zoning By-Law Amendments), circulating the public notice, preparing the report, etcetera, can proceed. •

Site plan control applications will have to go through the revised pre-application process, but do not require public notice and are now delegated to township staff for approval. The site plan process also allows for conditional approvals, so conditional approval can be issued within the required 60 days, and then the applicant would have to fulfill those conditions prior to the site plan agreement being signed and registered on title.

The proposed Official Plan Amendment outlined in Attachments 1 and 2 addresses the points above by providing enabling policies for both the County and townships to be able to modify their processes for pre-application consultations and complete applications, and to enable both upper and lower tier municipalities to use the delegated authority provided by the province, as suits each municipality. All townships now have delegated their authority to staff for site plan control applications, as required by Bill 109. The Township of South Frontenac also has delegated authority for undisputed consents. County Planning staff will be reaching out to staff at the other three townships in 2023 to discuss options for using delegated authority for certain types of planning applications to help manage workload for committees, councils, and staff, and to improve the development approval process for applicants. With respect to implementing process changes for complete applications and preapplication consultation, County planning staff continue to collaborate with township staff, as well as staff at the four conservation authorities and the septic authority (Township of South Frontenac). Following the approval of the amendment to the County Official Plan, planning staff will be continuing their work on helping the townships prepare for the implementation of these new processes, and the following steps will be addressed this fall into early winter: •

Prepare new processes/workflows for Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By-Law Amendments, and Site Plan Control applications.

•

Amend the Township Official Plans to ensure that they contain appropriate policies related to complete applications and pre-application consultation.

•

Update fee by-laws to ensure that the fees charged reflect the new processes and adequately cover administrative costs associated with processing applications.

•

Update pre-application consultation by-laws to ensure that they reflect the revised processes.

•

Review and update site plan control by-laws to ensure that they reflect the revised process.

•

Investigate options for how to best have peer reviews of studies conducted. For example, where a study is not reviewed by an existing agency, would it be beneficial

for the township to have a consultant (peer reviewer) on retainer? Would there be benefits to having peer reviewers on retainer for certain studies that would assist all the townships in the County? Conclusion It is the opinion of County planning staff that the Official Plan Amendment to implement Bills 13 and 109 is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and conforms to the general intent of the County of Frontenac Official Plan. Therefore, County planning staff are recommending that the Planning Advisory Committee recommend that County Council approve Official Plan Amendment Number 2 to the County of Frontenac Official Plan.

Sunbury Subdivision Comments -

8 November 2022

To:

Sonya Bolton, Christine Woods, Norm Roberts

From:

Christine Martine & Steve Keeley - 3937 Battersea Road

We would welcome the construction of the subdivision.1 From a public point of view it ticks many of the boxes of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The subdivision is rightly situated in a development area as part of the Sunbury Hamlet and backed along and entirely accessible to a park, not just an undesirable lot as is often the case in subdivisions but a fully operational and well-appointed facility. On a personal level the proposed roadway ditches would likely mitigate some of the water that races down the hill behind us and onto and across our yard. Plus, the proposed culvert at Outlet 3 might relieve the ponding of that water at the north-east corner of our property. That being said we have concerns that may seem negative or anti subdivision, they are not. The reasoning behind the request for lot size and frontage reduction of 25 and 40 percent respectively is not clear and we think not readily defendable. In Fotenn’s Sunbury Subdivision Zoning By-Law Amendment reasons given for altering the By-Law in section 6.1 are: • the strength of the Hydrogeological study and • to provide flexibility to the surveyor in ensuring that the lot will be compliant with zoning. Despite “surveyor flexibility” the lots are not compliant with present zoning. The decision to reduce lot size and frontage based upon the strength of the hydrogeological assessment it is not at all confidence inspiring for a number of reasons: • • •

Pumping tests at ~19.5 litres per minute (l/m) are no more than the rate our 75foot garden-hose delivers water. Not a rigorous test of the aquifer in our opinion. It is also concerning that of the 6 test wells drilled one was abandoned for lack of water2 - and the 95% recovery times for test wells TW3 and T4-EXP were reported over 1000 minutes (16+ hours)! Was that really the case?

Given the above we have reservations about the “strength” of the Hydrological Study. Along with the proposed subdivision’s significant reduction in both area and frontage there is no accommodation of the PPSs call for “an appropriate range and mix of 1 Provided of course we and our neighbours the community and the potential purchasers of the

subdivisions lots experience no adverse effects. 2 We were unable to find the location of this well in figure 03 or the reason it may have failed.

residential (including second units, affordable housing and housing for older persons), … uses to meet long-term needs;”3 Fotenn’s response for this and others is – “The proposed development provides residential lots that contribute to the range and mix of residential uses available in the Township, and will better connect the core of the Hamlet with Gerald Ball Memorial Park.” The core of the hamlet is already connected to the park by a length of new sidewalk and a strip of pavement along Moreland – Dixon. And really there is not a contribution to the range and mix of residential uses within the proposed development – they are all single family lots serviced by well and septic. It is unfortunate that the approach of this development makes it difficult for planners and planning authorities to provide that range and mix of housing types that is expected of them. Perhaps a less uniform approach along the development would be more socially practical and politically approvable. Frontenac is near to breaking ground with such an approach in Sharbot Lake, Marysville and Sydenham … why not Sunbury? Again we are in favour of the subdivision moving ahead. However, given the information provided along with this application notice, with a pedestrian understanding of the PPS and some knowledge of Communal Services in Frontenac we have a few questions and concerns that can hopefully be addressed. Thanks. Other Concerns and Suggestions and Observations Location of Septic – Although wells on all of lots 13 through 26 are uphill of septic on lots 10, 11 and 12 the wells are immediately downstream of the septic. Blocks 33, 34, 36 In the Draft Plan of Proposed Subdivision – Drawing there seem to have two block 33s. Drainage blocks 33, 34 and 36 and park blocks are labeled the same. Exclusion of Block 32 - It seems Block 32 was not included in either the pre or post conditions of SWM Plan calculations. It likely should have been included in at least pre conditions to better estimate water flow in catchment area E3 Soil Type 3.2.1.2- Sandy Clay Loam was named first and later Silty Clay Loam. We believe it had been earlier established that it was a Silty that and hopefully was used in the SWM calculation. Well Depth To obtain the best well water quality it is recommended that water wells not exceed a depth of 30m. Test wells were deeper than 30 meters so why the limitation at 30? Ditch Maintenance Section 3.4 - To site that required yearly maintenance on the ditch is in our estimation out of the question for Township Staff. Aside from the annual mowing ditches should continue to function for decades before any structural maintenance should be required. Thanks for your attention and Best regards, Christine Martine and Steve Keeley 3937 Battersea Road stevekeeley52@gmail.com 613 200 8052 3 Provincial Policy Statement section 1.1.1 (b)
