Agnew
next
slide,
please
so
good
evening,
your
worship
and
members
of
council,
my
name
is
laura
flaherty,
I'm
a
project
manager
in
planning
services
and
my
primary
responsibility
is
the
city's
new
zoning
bylaw
project.
So
I'm
going
to
apologize
up
front.
I
have
a
pretty
bad
cold
at
the
moment.
So
please
bear
with
me,
as
I
try
to
work
through
this
evening's
presentation
and
while
answering
questions
so
before
I
get
into
it.
Here's
a
very
quick
overview
of
the
plan
presentation
for
this
evening.
D
The
presentation
is
very
similar
to
the
ynap
signing
committee
in
october,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
baseline
information.
That's
worth
repeating
at
this
stage,
so
I
won't
be
getting
into
every
detail
in
this
presentation.
But
if
members
of
council
have
specific
questions
that
you
would
like
addressed,
staff
are
happy
to
address
any
topic
of
interest.
So
obviously
the
new
zoning
bile
is
a
very
large
topic
that
I
couldn't
possibly
cover
completely
in
one
evening.
D
Even
if
I
tried
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
presentation
is
as
helpful
as
possible
by
providing
the
foundation
for
the
work
that
was
done,
leading
up
to
the
second
draft.
I'm
gonna
provide
some
background
information
on
the
new
zoning
bylaw
project
as
a
whole
and
the
overall
timeline
associated
with
it.
D
I'll
then
give
some
highlights
about
the
discussion
paper
topics
that
were
presented
at
public
meetings
in
april
and
june
and
finally
I'll
get
into
the
focus
of
the
presentation
talking
about
the
structure
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw,
highlighting
some
changes
contained
in
the
second
draft
explaining
one
of
the
key
topics
for
this
evening:
the
site
specific
exceptions,
as
well
as
outlining
amendments
that
are
proposed
to
the
official
plan.
Next
slide,
please.
D
D
So
when
we
look
at
the
policy
context
in
ontario,
the
planning
act
is
the
legislation
that
allows
municipalities
to
pass
zoning
bylaws
and
contains
direction
about
items
that
can
be
regulated
through
zoning
and
the
process
that
must
be
undertaken
when
passing
a
zoning
bylaw.
So
the
provincial
policy
statement
or
the
pps
is
a
document
that
sets
out
direction
on
matters
of
provincial
interest
related
to
land
use
planning
and
it
sets
the
stage
for
regulating
development
in
ontario.
D
Zoning
bylaws
are
required
to
be
consistent
with
the
pps,
so
the
official
plan
or
the
op
is
the
city's
vehicle
to
implement
the
pps.
So
it
establishes
the
broader
policies
that
direct
land
use
changes
while
protecting
natural
and
cultural
heritage,
managing
resources
and
planning
for
necessary
infrastructure.
So
the
current
op
came
into
force
in
20
in
january
of
2010,
and
the
most
recent
five-year
update
came
into
effect
in
august
of
2017.,
so
zoning
violas
when
we
passed
them
they're
required
to
conform
with
the
official
plan.
D
So
sony
bylaws
are
the
most
detailed
regulatory
tool
that
municipalities
have
to
regulate
individual
properties
and
they're
used
to
regulate
the
use
of
landed
buildings,
the
size,
height
and
location
of
buildings,
the
frontage
depth
and
area
of
new
parcels
of
land
loading
and
parking
facilities,
landscaping
and
amenity
areas.
They
can
be
used
to
prohibit
development
in
hazardous
and
contaminated
or
in
environmentally
sensitive
areas.
They're
also
used
to
establish
minimum
separation
distances
next
slide,
please.
D
D
D
So
before
we
get
into
the
specifics
of
the
second
draft,
I
think
it's
really
important
to
explain
the
project
background
and
how
the
first
draft
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw
was
created.
So
this
project
has
been
talked
about
for
over
10
years,
starting
back
in
2011,
which
ultimately
saw
the
first
phase
create
a
strategic
direction
for
the
new
zoning
bylaw
for
an
rfp
that
an
outside
consultant
would
complete.
D
so
five
years
ago,
in
creating
the
first
draft,
the
consultant
first
identified
major
areas
that
needed
to
be
updated
to
better
align
with
the
current
op
policies,
such
as
the
environmental
protection
area
policies
in
prime
agricultural
areas.
The
remainder
of
the
first
draft
was
mostly
a
reflection
of
a
consolidation
of
those
existing
zoning
bylaws,
so
they
brought
similar
zones
from
the
existing
bylaws
into
one
zone
in
the
new
zoning
by-law,
and
they
compared
the
existing
general
provisions
to
determine
the
approach
for
one
set
of
general
provisions
that
would
apply
city-wide.
D
D
So,
following
the
release
of
the
first
draft,
the
project
was
put
on
hold
to
dedicate
staff
resources
to
other
major
policy
projects
that
needed
to
be
completed
in
advance
of
releasing
the
second
draft
of
the
new
zoning
bylaws,
such
as
the
oaky
update
and
the
central
kingston
growth
strategy.
So
when
we
talk
about
a
new
zoning
bylaw
for
the
city
of
kingston,
we
have
a
vision
to
harmonize,
simplify
and
modernize
the
zoning
framework
across
the
municipality
so
to
us
in
this
third
and
final
phase
of
the
project,
which
is
being
led
entirely
by
city
staff.
D
Harmonizing
zoning
provisions
is
more
than
just
a
consolidation
exercise.
It
means
that
the
second
draft
has
been
amended
to
carry
forward
some
of
the
existing
zoning
bylaw
regulations,
but
it
also
means
that
new
and
updated
regulations
are
included
to
align
the
second
draft
with
the
vision
established
by
the
official
plan,
so
simplifying
the
new
zoning
by-law
means
that
the
language
and
the
maps
have
been
modified
to
be
as
user-friendly
as
possible.
So
obviously
a
zoning
bylaw
is
a
legal
document
and
some
leaked
language
can't
be
avoided
completely.
D
But
wherever
possible,
we've
tried
to
amend
the
language
and
the
requirements
to
be
more
easily
understood
and
then
modernizing
the
zoning.
By-Law
really
means
that
terms
have
been
updated,
uses
better,
reflect
current
trends
and
have
been
written
in
a
way.
That's
intended
to
allow
for
innovation
and
new
uses
to
thrive
in
the
future.
Next
slide,
please.
D
Next
slide,
please
so
the
timeline
that's
been
created
recognizing
recognizes
that
this
project
is
really
urgent.
It's
a
project
that
was
specifically
identified
in
council's
strategic
plan
and
in
the
mayor's
task
force
on
housing.
It'll,
streamline
the
development
review
process
by
creating
a
document,
that's
easier
for
everyone
to
use
and
is
a
key
policy
piece
that
will
help
to
align
development
with
the
overall
vision
established
by
the
official
plan.
D
So
we
put
out
a
request
that
the
public
provide
comments
by
november
5th
and
we
had
a
statutory
public
meeting
at
planning
committee
on
october
13th.
So
following
tonight's
meeting,
we'll
be
working
closely
with
all
of
our
colleagues
in
the
technical
and
commenting
departments
to
thoroughly
review
and
consider
all
public
feedback
and
technical
comments
and
address
any
of
the
directions
that
we
receive
from
council
tonight.
So
planning
services
staff
will
also
be
presenting
at
the
december
15th
meeting
of
the
rural
advisory
committee
to
receive
feedback
related
to
the
zoning
approach
proposed
in
rural
areas.
D
So,
following
the
final
revisions,
the
current
intention
is
to
hold
a
final
statutory,
open
house
and
a
public
meeting
with
staff's
recommendations
and
a
comprehensive
report.
So
at
this
time
we're
aiming
for
final
recommendations
in
early
2022,
but
this
timeline
may
be
impacted
by
the
length
of
time
it
takes
to
address
public
feedback
or
other
directions
from
the
city
council.
So,
ultimately,
city
council
has
the
final
decision-making
authority
on
the
new
zoning
bylaw
and
the
proposed
official
plan
amendment.
D
D
So
public
meetings
were
held
in
april
and
june
with
two
discussion
paper
topics
presented
at
each
meeting.
The
meetings
were
held
via
zoom
and
recorded.
So,
if
you're
interested,
please
check
out
the
recorded
presentations
on
the
city's
youtube
channel,
the
april
meeting
had
two
discussion
papers.
The
first
one
was
environmental
protection
areas,
the
ribbon
of
life
and
water
body,
second
setbacks
and
the
second
was
schools
and
places
of
worship.
And
at
the
june
meeting
we
discussed
the
power
of
parking,
a
new
parking
paradigm
for
kingston,
tiny
houses,
shipping
containers
and
additional
residential
units.
D
D
So
the
tiny
house,
shipping
container,
an
additional
residential
unit
discussion
paper,
covered
a
few
different
topics.
First,
it
addressed
the
new
provincial
legislation
requiring
municipalities
to
allow
for
up
to
three
residential
units
on
properties
that
currently
only
allow
for
two
units.
Second,
it
amended
the
new
zoning
bylaw
to
clearly
recognize
and
plan
for
portable
tiny
houses
as
accessory
units,
and
finally,
it
proposed
to
include
shipping
containers
in
the
definition
of
building
to
ensure
that
there's
explicit
clarity
around
how
repurposed
shipping
containers
are
regulated
from
a
zoning
bylaw
perspective.
D
Next
slide,
please,
in
the
second
draft,
we
actually
included
an
additional
revision
to
the
definition
of
building
to
include
formally
portable
tiny
hoses
when
they've
been
placed
permanently
on
the
ground
by
removing
the
wheels
and
connecting
to
permanent
permanent
services,
and
this
just
means
that
those
formerly
permanent
or
formerly
portable,
tiny
hoses,
wouldn't
need
a
temporary
use
bylaw
to
be
established
as
an
additional
residential
unit
on
a
lot
next
slide.
Please.
D
So.
Finally,
the
last
discussion
paper,
but
certainly
not
the
least,
is
the
power
of
parking,
a
new
parking
paradigm
for
kingston,
so
it
was
co-authored
by
staff
and
brent
todder
who's
here
with
us
tonight
to
help
any
of
our
any
questions
that
are
connected
to
this
work.
So
the
intent
of
this
discussion
paper
is
to
really
start
a
new
public
conversation
about
this
connection.
Basically,
every
aspect
of
how
the
city
is
built
provide
a
call
to
action
to
everyone
to
think
about
parking
in
a
very
different
way.
D
It
connected
the
dots
with
some
of
the
larger
city
goals
and
discussed
innovative
new
ideas
and
options.
So
the
paper
examined
the
true
cost
of
parking,
including
the
many
public
costs
and
consequences
of
providing
too
much
parking,
prevent,
presented,
important
ideas
like
reducing
or
even
eliminating
parking
minimums,
creating
parking
maximums
using
parking
incentives
to
achieve
smarter
outcomes
like
enhanced
bike
parking,
car
share
spaces
and
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
and
all
while
ensuring
that
the
supply
of
accessible
parking
isn't
reduced
next
slide.
Please.
D
So
in
the
second
draft,
we
work
with
brent
to
identify
some
changes
beyond
what
was
included
in
the
parking
parking
discussion
paper,
including
some
clarification
around
the
only
true
zero
parking
buildings
would
be
heritage,
buildings
and
affordable
housing
has
no
general
parking
requirement,
but
accessible
and
visitor
parking
requirements
apply
rather
than
allowing
reductions
through
incentives.
The
second
draft
includes
reductions
where
payments
are
made
under
an
updated
cash
move
parking
bylaw.
D
So
the
idea
is
that
the
money
that
would
be
collected
would
be
not
used
for
parking,
but
to
help
to
establish
and
support
a
successful
car
share
system.
In
kingston,
a
new
car
share
parking
requirement
has
been
added
for
multi-unit
residential
buildings
in
pas
3
and
4.
So
along
the
transit
corridors,
distances
have
been
changed
from
400
to
600
meters,
to
align
with
the
official
plan
and
they've
actually
been
measured
around
walking
connections
rather
than
as
a
buffer
from
the
the
transit
line,
and
then
parking
maximums
for
multi-unit
residential
were
reduced
to
one.
D
However,
we've
included
a
new
provision
that
allows
that
maximum
to
be
increased
to
1.25
or
1.5.
If
all
of
the
extra
spaces
are
ev
ready.
Electric
vehicle
ready
and
if
additional
car
share
parking
spaces
are
provided,
and
then
an
allowance
has
been
added
for
up
to
10
percent
of
the
parking
spaces
to
in
multi-unit
residential
to
be
small
cars
spaces.
D
So,
as
I
stated
earlier,
since
the
zoning
bylaw
covers
a
lot
of
content
and
fundamental
planning
principles,
it
would
be
impossible
for
us
to
cover
every
facet
of
the
document
in
this
one
presentation,
so
I'm
going
to
provide
a
high
level
overview
of
the
structure
of
the
second
draft
and
also
feature
some
of
the
rethink
topics
that
weren't
specifically
covered
by
the
discussion
papers.
Next
slide,
please!
D
So,
looking
at
the
zoning
bylaw
from
the
ground
up,
we
have
a
text-based
document
which
lays
out
the
legal
requirements
and
we
have
corresponding
mapping
which
identifies
different
areas
of
the
city,
so
links
to
the
interactive
mapping
or
to
download
the
text-based
pdf
are
all
available
on
the
project
website.
The
get
involved,
kingston
page,
which
I'll
speak
to
at
the
end
of
this
presentation.
Next
slide,
please,
starting
with
the
text-based
document.
All
zoning
bylaws
are
written
in
a
pretty
similar
manner.
They
are
legal
documents.
D
After
all,
so
the
second
draft
of
our
zoning
by-law
includes
standard
administration,
interpretation
and
definition,
sections
they've
all
been
refined,
based
on
staff's
experiences
with
our
existing
zoning
bylaws,
and
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
document
contains
appropriate
direction
for
dealing
with
a
wide
range
of
potential
scenarios.
So
we
have
to
ensure
that
there
there's
specific
direction
that
that
covers
any
anything
that
could
possibly
come
up
when
we're
reviewing
any
inquiry
or
request
for
a
development
in
the
city.
D
So
section
four
contains
the
general
provisions
which
cover
topics
where
requirements
are
the
same
across
the
whole
city
or
across
common
zones.
So
examples
of
general
provisions
would
be
accessory
buildings,
amenity
area
site
triangles
generally
permitted
or
prohibited
uses
items
that
would
be
exempt
from
the
bylaw,
temporary
or
occasional
uses,
minimum
distance
separation
requirements,
railway
water
body
and
pipeline
setbacks
and
then
walkway
and
bedroom
provisions.
D
So
sections
20
to
22
are
the
zoning
maps.
The
overlay
schedules
the
non-overlay
schedules
that
correspond
with
the
sections
I
just
discussed,
and
these
are
all
available
on
the
interactive
mapping.
Website
sections
23
and
24
are
where
the
text
of
the
exceptions
will
eventually
live
with
the
exceptions
that
are
passed
under
the
existing
zoning,
bylaws
being
included
in
section
23
as
the
legacy
exceptions
and
then
the
text
of
any
new
future
exceptions
that
are
actually
passed
under
the
new
zoning
bylaw
being
included
in
section
24.
D
holding
zones
and
temporary
zones,
we'll
have
text,
that's
included
in
sections,
25
and
26,
and
then
finally,
the
list
of
administrative
amendments
will
live
at
the
very
end
of
the
zoning
by-law
in
section
27.
So
you
don't
have
to
scroll
through
all
of
that
administrative
list
to
get
to
the
meat
and
potatoes
of
the
document
next
slide,
please.
D
So
when
creating
the
second
draft,
we
identified
a
desire
to
use
technology
to
our
advantage
and
bring
the
zoning
bylaw
maps
and
schedules
into
a
format
that
people
can
actually
use
and
really
understand.
So
the
final
draft
of
the
new
zone,
name
by
law,
will
include
the
obligatory
pdfs
of
the
map,
since
we're
required
to
do
it
by
the
legislation,
but
the
everyday
experience
that's
expect
is
expected
to
really
rely
on
the
interactive
mapping.
That's
been
developed
by
our
major
amazing
gis
team
and
planning
services.
D
D
Overall,
I
think
the
mapping
experience
is
vastly
improved
from
the
existing
zoning
bylaws
and
from
the
first
draft,
with
the
ability
to
click
on
the
maps
for
pop-up
windows.
That
display
relevant
text
or
additional
information
and
opportunities
definitely
exist
for
future
innovation,
with
new
tools
that
we
can
add
into
this
interactive
map,
including
the
ability
to
add
in
advisory
layers.
D
D
The
zoning
by-law
recognizes
the
differences
between
rural
and
urban
areas
by
creating
zones
that
are
either
rural
zones
or
urban
zones
and
applying
different
standards
to
the
two
areas.
So,
while
many
of
the
zone,
boundaries
and
standards
in
the
rural
area
are
a
result
of
that
consolidation
of
the
existing
zones,
there
are
a
number
of
important
innovations
that
the
new
zoning
bylaw
brings
to
the
rural
areas
by
applying
a
rural
lens
to
really
help
create
a
more
vibrant
and
healthy
diversified
rural
area.
D
The
amendments
to
the
op
policies
for
on-farm
diversified
uses
and
agri
culture
related
uses
are
intended
to
provide
a
more
flexible
framework
with
defined
parameters
that
would
result
in
a
more
minimal
planning
process
through
a
minor
variance
application,
while
still
protecting
rural
areas
from
incompatible
uses.
The
second
draft
also
includes
new
hamlet,
residential
commercial
and
institutional
zones,
but
we're
actually
in
the
process
of
reviewing
these
items
and
potentially
creating
one
unified
hamlet
zone
with
broader
flexibility
in
the
settlement
areas.
D
The
second
draft
also
includes
new
permissions
for
a
food
truck
as
an
accessory
use
and
prime
ag
in
rural
zones
and
allows
expanded
home
occupation
permissions,
allowing
home
occupations
and
accessory
buildings,
and
while
many
of
the
parking
innovations
and
the
power
of
parking
are
focused
on
the
urban
area,
because
that's
where
the
alternative
modes
of
transportation
are
focused,
we
do
think
that
the
ultimate
car
share
system
that
would
be
supported
by
the
power
of
parking
work
will
actually
create
new
opportunities
for
rural
residents.
Rural
residents
to
access
car
share
vehicles
next
slide,
please.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
central
kingston
growth
strategy
is
ongoing.
At
the
same
time
as
this
project
and
it's
studying
all
of
the
residentially
designated
land
within
the
area,
that's
currently
subject
to
zoning
bylaw
8499.
So
that's
all
the
area
that's
shown
in
yellow
on
the
screen
so
through
the
ckgs
work.
The
official
plan
and
zoning
recommendations
from
the
project
consultant
wsp
were
presented
at
a
public
meeting
before
planning
committee
on
august
12th.
D
The
zoning
recommendations
for
these
areas
were
integrated
into
the
second
draft,
including
changes
to
the
existing
zone
requirements
as
well
as
the
creation
of
new
intensification
areas.
An
official
plan
amendment
is
slated
to
add
a
new
section
10g
and
it
will
provide
policy
guidance
for
the
proposed
intensification
areas.
D
So
statutory
public
meeting
on
the
ckgs
is
scheduled
at
the
december
2nd
meeting
of
planning
committee
staff
are
continuing
to
receive
feedback
on
the
initial
zoning
recommendations
and
may
propose
further
refinements
to
the
zoning
recommendations
in
the
ckgs
area,
which
would
then
be
reflected
in
the
final
draft
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw
next
slide.
Please.
D
So
one
of
the
rethink
topics
that
wasn't
the
subject
of
the
discussion
paper
is
a
language
used
to
describe
residential
uses,
which,
in
the
second
draft,
we
remove
the
focus
of
residential
uses
related
to
people
who
live
in
a
unit
or
the
lease
or
tenure
of
a
rental
agreement.
So
the
definition
of
dwelling
unit
is
intended
to
be
as
inclusive
as
possible
to
ensure
that
all
residential
uses
are
permitted
in
all
residential
areas.
D
So
the
only
distinctions
that
remain
in
the
second
draft
include
group
homes
and
special
needs
facilities
which
are
specifically
identified
in
the
policies
of
our
official
plan.
Also
one
of
the
recommendations
of
the
mayor's
task
force
on
housing,
which
stated
that
we
should
welcome
co-living
buildings
where
apartments
share
common
areas
and
rental
costs
per
unit
are
lowered.
And
the
second
draft
includes
a
new
definition
of
a
co-living
unit
which
is
currently
proposed
to
be
permitted
in
locations
where
apartment.
D
Are
permitted-
and
this
is
intended
to
respond
to
the
direction
of
the
mayor's
task
force
on
housing,
to
help
create
a
new
form
of
housing
in
kingston
that
may
result
in
lower
rents.
Next
slide,
please,
okay,
so
on
to
the
big
topic
of
this
evening,
site
specific
exceptions.
What
are
they
so
they're,
individual
or
area-wide
amendments
to
the
existing
zoning
bylaws?
That
typically,
are
the
result
of
applications
submitted
by
a
property
owner,
but
may
also
be
the
result
of
a
city-initiated
application.
D
These
are
the
applications
that
most
members
of
the
public
and
planning
committee
would
be
familiar
with,
as
nearly
every
rezoning
application,
that's
considered
at
a
public
meeting
is
requesting
some
form
of
site-specific
exception
to
the
zoning
by-law.
So
at
a
very
basic
level,
they
say,
despite
what
the
zoning
bylaws
says
on
your
property,
you
may
only
develop
for
this
specific
use,
and
here
are
the
standards
that
you
must
meet.
So
obviously
this
is
a
generalization
and
there
are
variations.
The
way
that
exceptions
are
written.
D
D
So
in
reviewing
this
approach,
we've
identified
some
potential
op
conformity
issues,
since
we
have
some
zoning
bylaws
that
are
around
45
years
old
and
the
current
op
has
only
been
in
effect
for
around
11
years.
So
this
means
that
there
are
nearly
35
years
worth
of
exceptions
that
were
passed
by
different
municipalities
in
different
zoning
bylaws
before
the
current
official
plan
existed.
So
before
I
go
any
further.
As
a
reminder,
the
new
zoning
bylaw
must
conform
with
the
official
plan.
D
All
of
the
policies
that
are
applicable
must
be
satisfied
so
including
policies
that
speak
to
built
forms
such
as
land
use,
compatibility,
natural
heritage,
natural
hazards,
cultural
heritage
and
urban
design
policies.
So
reviewing
each
exception
for
conformity
with
the
opie
is
an
extremely
time
consuming
task,
and
it
requires
a
detailed
analysis
of
each
provision.
D
So
when
the
second
draft
was
released,
we
identified
that
we
were
going
to
looking
for
public
feedback
on
the
ultimate
approach
to
the
older
exceptions,
so
the
second
draft
was
formulated
in
in
a
manner
that
would
best
facilitate
this
conversation
and
the
access
to
the
information.
So
the
exceptions
were
pulled
out
into
their
own
schedule,
and
the
interactive
map
now
shows
a
pop-out
screen
with
the
text
of
the
exception
when
you
click
on
any
shape.
D
The
second
draft
included
a
color-coded
exceptions
to
categorize
the
age
of
the
exception,
so
green
exceptions
represent
those
that
were
passed
after
the
current
op
came
into
effect.
Red
exceptions
per
generally
represent
those
that
were
passed
prior
to
the
current
op
and
they
may
or
may
not
conform
with
the
op.
D
D
So
two
potential
options
were
identified
within
the
current
scope,
timeline
and
available
resources.
For
this
project
number
one
was
removing
these
properties
from
the
new
zoning
bylaw,
giving
them
a
hole
on
all
of
the
relevant
mapping
which
states
that
these
properties
are
not
subject
to
the
new
zoning
bylaw.
So
this
would
allow
for
all
of
the
existing
permissions
to
remain
in
full
force,
in
effect,
without
the
need
to
review
these
exceptions
for
conformity
against
the
official
plan.
D
D
So,
since
we
released
the
second
draft,
we've
been
working
really
hard
to
review
some
of
the
area-wide
exceptions
that
were
previously
shown
in
the
red
category.
We've
undertaken
this
work
because
they
generally
represent
larger
residential
subdivisions
and
impact
a
very
large
number
of
properties
in
the
city.
So
from
an
op
review
standpoint.
These
all
also
represent
the
exceptions
that
are
likely
the
easiest
to
review
for
opie
conformity
since
they're,
often
dealing
with
lot
area
lot,
frontage
and
other
similar
standards
that
apply
to
low-rise
residential
development
on
residentially
designated
lands.
D
So
we
hope
to
move
as
many
of
these
success
exceptions
as
possible
into
the
green
category
or
even
potentially
delete
as
many
of
these
exceptions
as
possible
by
updating
the
parent
residential
zones
that
may
apply
to
these
areas
before
final
recommendations
are
made
on
this
project,
and
that
would
ensure
that
the
new
zoning
bylaw
applies
to
the
large
majority
of
properties
in
the
city.
Next
slide,
please!
D
So
when
we
look
at
the
numbers
and
the
maps,
I
think
the
most
impactful
statistic
is
shown
in
the
left-hand
pie
chart
on
your
screen.
So
out
of
all
of
the
properties
in
the
city,
all
41,
899
of
899
of
them,
51
of
the
properties,
are
currently
subject
to
a
site-specific
exception.
So
more
than
half
of
all
properties
in
the
city.
D
So,
as
you
can
see
in
the
the
pie
chart
on
the
left,
moving
the
large
area
wide
exceptions
from
the
red
category
into
the
yellow
category
captured
15
586
properties,
which
represents
approximately
37
percent
of
the
total
number
of
properties
in
the
city,
so
from
a
staff
resource
perspective.
Reviewing
those
yellow
exceptions
really
helps
to
ensure
that
the
new
zoning
bylaw
is
as
effective
as
possible.
So
what
we're
actually
looking
at
here
when
we
talk
about
the
red
exceptions,
are
the
1911
properties
which
represents
about
five
percent
of
the
properties
in
the
city.
D
So
our
preferred
approach
is
to
provide
holes
for
these
exceptions,
which
means
that
the
existing
zoning
violence
will
continue
to
apply
to
these
properties.
Existing
permissions
will
continue
and
they
will
not
be
subject
to
the
new
zoning
bylaw
over
the
next
number
of
years.
Staff
would
then
proactively
bring
as
many
properties
as
possible
into
the
new
zoning
bylaw
next
slide,
please.
D
So
when
we're
putting
together
the
discussion
papers
and
the
second
draft
of
the
new
zoning
by-law,
we
identified
several
areas
where
amendments
to
the
op
would
allow
us
to
draft
zoning
requirements
that
will
actually
implement
the
intent
of
the
policies
in
a
more
appropriate
manner.
So
the
majority
of
the
proposed
amendments
were
covered
by
the
discussion
paper
topics,
including
amendments
to
additional
residential
units,
tiny
houses,
places
of
worship,
schools,
epa
and
riparian
corridor
policies.
The
only
changes
proposed
to
the
mapping
are
related
specifically
to
the
riparian
corridors.
D
Some
additional
amendments
have
been
proposed
to
the
on-farm
diversified
uses
and
the
agricultural
related
use
policies,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
and
also
to
complementary
use
provisions
with
them
within
employment
areas,
and
these
proposed
amendments
are
to
ensure
that
these
uses
can
proceed
through
a
straightforward,
minor
variance
application,
where
it's
appropriate
with
specific
intention
identified
in
the
second
draft
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw
next
slide.
Please
so.
We've
obviously
received
a
lot
of
public
feedback
and
participated
in
many
meetings
and
events
with
stakeholders
and
interested
members
of
the
public.
D
The
staff
report
and
agenda
have
been
have
included
the
written
comments
that
sorry
and
I've
included
a
couple
bullet
points
on
the
slide
to
represent
just
some
of
the
ideas
and
feedback
that
have
come
through.
So
overall,
we've
received
a
number
of
positive
comments
that
acknowledge
the
improvements
that
have
been
made
within
the
second
draft,
and
the
majority
of
the
comments
can
be
easily
addressed
and
accommodated
within
the
next
draft,
except
for
comments
that
don't
align
with
the
current
official
plan
policies.
D
That's
been
provided
next
slide,
please.
So
before
we
end
the
presentation
tonight,
I
did
want
to
speak
very
quickly
to
the
strategic
plan.
So
as
legal
documents,
zoning
bylaws
are
required
to
have
measurable,
objective
standards
that
can
be
very
clearly
defined
and
applied.
So
when
it
comes
to
council
strategic
plan,
the
zoning
bylaw
is
specifically
identified
as
a
project
to
enable
more
housing
development
and
to
help
increase
housing
afford
housing,
affordability,
while
the
five
main
priorities
are
not
measurable
standards
that
are
specifically
stated
in
the
zoning
bylaw.
D
Increasing
housing.
Affordability
is
not
something
that
we
can
control
directly
in
the
new
zoning
bylaws.
We
can't
control
the
economics
of
the
housing
market,
but
the
zonibala
has
the
potential
to
have
an
impact
on
housing,
affordability
in
general,
by
permitting
the
creation
of
additional
residential
units
and
the
new
residential
housing
forms
such
as
co-living
units.
D
The
power
of
parking
has
also
connected
the
dots
between
providing
parking
and
the
cost
of
the
cost
of
providing
parking
and
the
cost
of
housing,
ensuring
that
the
zoning
bylaw
standards
are
not
unnecessarily
increasing
the
cost
of
new
housing,
because
that
gets
passed
directly
on
to
the
ultimate
tenants
or
owners
of
the
of
the
units.
It
also
has
direct
connections
to
improving
walkability
roads
and
transportation
by
ensuring
that
new
developments
can
be
built
with
a
more
compact
built
form,
with
less
parking,
supporting
walkable,
neighborhoods
and
communities.
D
Strengthening
economic
development
ideas
permeate
throughout
the
new
zoning
by
library
ensuring
that
land
use
definitions
are
written
in
a
more
permissive
and
general
fashion
in
the
various
commercial
and
employment
zones.
So
we
recognize
that
there'll
be
more
work
to
be
done
to
support
density
and
mixed
uses
in
the
right
locations
across
the
city
and
expect
that
future
work-
that's
done
by
the
dead
sea
by
design
project,
as
well
as
the
next
op
update,
love
a
major
impact
with
a
greater
focus
on
climate
change,
housing,
affordability
and
other
priorities
of
council.

The
information
can
also
be
found
on
both
the
project
website,
as
well
as
the
get
involved
kingston
web
page,
I'm
maintaining
a
project
email
list
where
I
send
updates
when
new
documents
are
published
or
events
are
scheduled
and
written
comments
can
be
sent
via
email
or
mail
and
staff
are
available
to
speak
on
the
phone
or
meet
virtually
with
interested
members
of
the
public.
Next
slide,
please,
and
with
that,
our
formal
presentation
is
over
and
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
Your
worship.
A
F
Yeah,
thank
you,
mayor
patterson
and
excellent
presentation.
Laura
there's
a
lot
there
and
that
it'll
take
us
more
than
one
night
to
understand
all
this,
but
really
one
question:
I
guess
you
don't
really
deal
with
it,
but
is
there
like
tax
and
implication
implications
when
we
consider
the
complementary
uses
like
of
farms
of
places
of
worship
and
and
residential,
and
all
that?
How
is
that
something
that
planning
has
to
consider
and
keep
in
mind.
C
Thank
you
in
three
year,
worship.
By
no
means
am
I
a
tax
expert,
but
certainly
taxation
is
linked
to
the
type
of
land
use
and
the
type
of
tax
category
when
there's
new
residential,
for
example,
that's
created
at
the
time
that
the
new
residential
use
is
occupied.
There
is
typically
a
change
of
attacks,
category
from
something
that
was
vacant
land
to
occupied
land
and
they
have
different
rates
of
taxation.
The
same
would
be
true
of
of
commercial
rates
of
taxation
and
and
so
forth.
C
So
as
miss
floridi
indicated,
although
that's
not
a
key
indicator
from
our
perspective
in
planning
and
directing
the
appropriateness
of
different
types
of
land
uses
in
different
locations,
the
change
of
of
land
uses
or
the
additional
permissions
or
changing
your
property
or
taking
advantage
of
some
of
those
permissions
could
have
tax
implications
and
that's
where
due
diligence
on
behalf
of
the
property
owner
in
reaching
out
and
we
can
make
some
connections
with
taxation
services.
That
would
be
helpful
in
that
respect.
F
Yeah
no,
I
do
applaud
the
look
here,
but
that
is
something
that,
like
so
with
churches
and
schools,
and
that
and
and
even
farms,
farms
have
reduced
taxation,
but
you
know
schools
and
places
of
worship,
don't
have
a
taxation,
so
that
would
be
a
new
situation
for
them
to
consider.
If
the,
if
the
permissions
of
uses
has
expanded.
C
Depend
on
what
the
actual
use
that's
transpiring
on
the
property,
so
certainly
just
a
change
or
any
permissions
into
the
zone.
Category
wouldn't
necessarily
change
taxation
status.
It
would
only
be
acted
upon
if
that
property
owner
took
advantage
and
created
a
new
use
or
introduced
a
new
use
on
the
property,
but
that
would
be
different
circumstances
for
not-for-profits
and
places
of
worship
versus
residential,
commercial,
so
I'd.
I
wouldn't
want
to
speak
at
a
turn
and
going
much
further,
but
I'm
happy
to
get
some
additional
information
for
you
on
that.
H
A
Yes,
that's
right
so
we're
under
the
regular
rules
of
council.
So
because
it's
a
briefing
it
is
unlimited
questions
at
this
point
and
then
once
we
move
the
staff
recommendation,
then,
as
per
usual,
everyone
has
up
to
five
minutes
to
speak
and
then
you've
been
asked
additional
questions,
but
that
counts
towards
your
time.
I
Thank
you.
I
guess
this
question
will
go
to
staff
to
laura,
so
the
the
difference
between
the
the
holes
approach
versus
the
legal
non-conforming,
at
least
in
my
sense,
I
think
the
concern,
maybe
that
some
counselors
would
have
is
that
if
somebody
wanted
to
make
like
a
whole
scale
change
and
they
were
in
a
in
a
in
a
hole,
how
would
how
would
council
have
some
some
control
over
that?
I
Would
that
be
through
site
control
or
or
because,
if
it
was
legal
non-conforming
what
it
would
have
to
come
back
to
planning
committee?
I
I
I'm
assuming
for
approval
where,
with
the
holes,
I
I'm
not
sure
that
it
would
have
to
do
that.
So
would
would
council
exercise
its
control
through
site
control,
then?
Is
that
sort
of
what's
being
proposed.
D
Through
your
worship,
so
it's
difficult
to
answer
these
questions
hypothetically,
because
there
are
so
many
permeations
of
how
the
exceptions
are
written
and
potential
development
interests
on
any
individual
property.
So
if
the
exceptions
are
generally
written
in
a
very
restrictive
way,
that
is
focused
on
a
specific
form
of
development,
so
say
someone
wanted
to
develop
the
site
with
something
that
was
different
from
what
the
exception
permitted.
D
Even
if
in
the
holes
approach,
they
would
likely
be
required
to
ask
for
a
rezoning
application
to
enable
a
different
form
of
development
to
happen,
and
that
would
be
reviewed
against
the
policies
of
the
official
plan
and
any
rezoning.
We
would
then
take
that
property
into
the
new
zoning
bylaw
and
create
a
site-specific
exception
under
the
new
zoning
bylaw
for
that
development.
D
If
you
were
to
take
the
approach
of
deleting
the
exception
and
someone
wanted
to
potentially
expand
their
building,
they
might
actually
be
able
to
go
through
something
called
a
legal
non-conforming
use.
It
would
be
a
permission
that
would
proceed
through
an
application
under
section
45
of
the
planning
act,
and
that
would
actually
go
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
and
it
doesn't
have
the
same
tests
as
a
rezoning
application.
So
legal
non-conforming
use
permissions
which
would
be
an
expansion
they
actually
aren't
required
to
conform
with
the
official
plan.
I
I
J
Hello
and
thank
you
for
your
presentation,
a
couple
of
quick
questions
I
came
into
this
tonight.
Thinking
existing
non-conforming
use
was
probably
the
way
I
was
going
to
go
and
I'm
not
so
sure
anymore.
So,
as
I
understand
existing
non-conforming
needs,
which
is
my
understanding,
is
in
a
much
smaller
context.
J
You
know
somebody
gets
a
ticket
because
they
have
two
cars
parked
one
in
front
of
their
house,
and
it
turns
out
that
the
bylaw
restricting
that
happened
after
that
was
already
the
practice.
So
that's
the
kind
of
thing
that
I've
always
thought
of
as
existing
non-conforming
use
or
somebody's
garage
is
slightly
closer
to
their
neighbor.
That
kind
of
thing,
but
this
is
a
much
more
expansive
existing
non-conforming
use
now
existing
non-conforming
use,
as
I
understand
it,
freezes
and
restricts
any
expansion
beyond
the
existing
conforming
use.
I
see
you
nodding,
so
thank
you.
D
Through
your
worship,
so
it
with
the
holes
approach,
they
would
only
be
required
to
conform
with
the
existing
zoning.
Bylaws
so
say
it's
a
property.
That's
currently
subject
to
zoning
bylaw
8499
and
they
have
a
site-specific
specific
exception
under
8499.
The
holes
approach
would
mean
that
they
only
need
to
comply
with
zoning
bylaw
8499.
D
J
D
Through
your
worship,
so
there
are
likely
a
number
of
existing
red
exceptions
that
would
be
less
permissive
than
the
new
zoning
bylaw
would
so.
The
new
zoning
by-law
permissions
for
commercial
and
employment
uses
have
been
written
in
a
much
broader
way
to
to
allow
for
different
types
of
commercial
uses
to
be
located
in
commercial
zones,
whereas
many
of
the
existing
zones
have
very
very
specific
uses.
Some
of
the
employment
zones
actually
have
the
specific
products
that
are
being
manufactured
in
the
existing
zoning
bylaws.
D
So
there's
definitely
a
potential
that
some
of
those
red
exceptions
are
actually
more
restrictive
than
the
new
zoning
by-law
would
be
so
there
might
be
scenarios
where
a
property
owner
looks
at
their
site,
specific
exception,
their
red
exception,
and
they
say
I'd
actually.
Rather,
the
new
zoning
bylaw
apply
here
and
I'd
like
to
get
rid
of
my
exception,
and
I
encourage
those
property
owners
to
contact
staff
and
and
tell
us
that,
so
that
we
can
work
on
those
properties
and
delete
those
exceptions
where,
where
it's
appropriate.
D
So
if,
if
that
was
the
case
after
the
new
zoning
bylaw
is
passed,
I
would
expect
that
any
of
those
types
of
requests
we
would
review
through
that
proactive
completion
of
reviewing
the
red
exceptions
and
trying
to
bring
them
into
the
new
zoning
bylaws.
So
it
might
end
up
being
that
some
of
that
review
is
hey.
Look.
This
exception
actually
really
restricts
it
and
we'd
like
for
the
new
zoning
bylaw
to
just
apply,
without
an
exception.
J
D
To
your
your
worship,
so
there
will
be
no
holes
under
the
deleting
all
of
those
exceptions.
Legal
non-conforming
use
option,
so
there
would
be
no
holes
in
that
scenario.
So,
under
the
holes
approach
there
will
always
be
more
holes
than
under
the
other
approach,
because
there's
no
holes
in
the
other
approach.
D
I
certainly
think
that
over
time
as
staff
are
able
to
proactively
review
those
red
exceptions,
the
new
zoning
bylaw
would
be
a
lot
cleaner
because
we'd
actually
be
able
to
bring
those
properties
into
conformity
with
the
existing
or
the
new
zoning
bylaw,
rather
than
having
those
properties
continuously
be
legal
non-conforming.
So
when
we
talk
about
legal
non-conforming,
I
think
it's
really
important
that
the
existing
zoning
bylaws
still
are
very
much
part
of
the
equation,
because
when
we
say
something's
legal
non-conforming,
it
means
that
it
was
permitted
under
the
existing
zoning
bylaws
when
it
was
established.
D
So
it
would
be
lovely
if
we
could
just
get
rid
of
those
existing
zoning
bylaws
all
together
and
saying,
deleting
these
exceptions
would
get
rid
of
the
existing
zoning
bylaws
altogether.
But
there
is
still
that
element
of
legal
non-conforming
use
permissions
that
require
us
to
actually
continue
to
look
at
those
existing
zoning
bylaws.
So
even
deleting
those
exceptions
doesn't
mean
that
the
existing
zoning
bylaws
go
away
because
we
have
to
review
them
to
see
if
it
was
legally
permitted
under
them.
In
the
first
place
when
it
was
established.
J
D
Three-Year
worship,
so
I'm
going
to
invite
my
colleagues
to
jump
in
if
I
miss
this,
but
I
think
that
the
only
way
under
the
existing
system,
with
the
existing
language,
of
the
exceptions
to
incent
developers
to
take
advantage
of
existing
approvals
would
be
option
number
two,
which
is
the
potential
of
deleting
those
approvals.
If
from
the
new
zoning
bylaws.
J
C
Yeah,
thank
you
and
through
your
worship,
just
an
update
for
council,
because
it
has
been
some
time
since
we
brought
that
report
back
in
march
of
2021,
so
counselor
neil
you're,
totally
correct
when
we
started
looking
at
this
2017
2018,
when
we
had
our
very
low
vacancy
rates,
we
did
at
that
time
have
a
huge
number
of
projects.
Thousands
of
units
that
were
either
approved
through
zoning,
but
hadn't
proceeded
to
building
permits.
A
number
of
them
were
also
tied
up
at
the
lpat.
C
I
think
we
were
around
6
000
units
at
that
time.
My
last
look
of
doing
the
math
in
the
last
week
we're
down
to
something
like
maybe
2
000
units
from
where
we
once
were,
and
that's
reflective
of
the
fact
that
we've
built
almost
4
000
units
in
the
last
three
and
a
half
years.
So
I
think
we
don't
have
the
backlog
that
we
once
had,
but
certainly
to
your
point.
We
don't
want
to
get
there
again
and
there
are
additional
things
that
we're
doing
outside.
C
J
C
C
You
set
up
that
that
committee
of
adjustment
that
deals
with
certain
matters
so
as
far
as
I
know,
because
council
has
delegated
that
authority
to
the
committee
of
adjustment,
it
doesn't
work
the
same
way
in
terms
of
a
bump
up,
but
I
stand
to
be
corrected
on
that.
I
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
happening,
but
perhaps
ms
morley
could
respond
to
that
more
more
thoroughly.
E
Thank
you
and
through
your
worship,
that's
absolutely
correct.
Commissioner.
Agnew
council
has
delegated
authority
to
the
committee
of
adjustment
through
a
bylaw
to
process
certain
types
of
applications
under
the
planning
act.
So
if
council
desired
to
take
back
that
authority,
it
would
involve
either
repealing
that
by
law
or
amending
it
in
some
way
to
take
over
that
power.
K
K
Are
we
going
to
incorporate
this
in
case
a
the
owner
may
want
to
actually
have
the
property
be
assessed
in
the
new
zoning
by-law
and
that
that
would
give
us
an
opportunity
to
move
it
out
of
the
hole
and
put
it
into
the
into
our
zoning
by-laws.
So
are
there
some
opportunities
there
and
what
kind
of
outreach
are
we
having
with?
Probably
women.
D
Through
you,
your
worship,
so
certainly,
I
think
there
will
be
a
lot
of
opportunities
where
a
property
owner
might
identify
that
the
new
zoning
bylaw
is
more
favorable
than
an
existing
exception.
The
intention
with
the
proactive
review
of
the
red
exceptions,
if
the
whole's
approach
was,
is
the
preferred
approach
of
council
is
that
that
review
of
exceptions
would
include
the
engagement
with
the
property
owners
to
actually
contact
them
and
have
the
conversation,
but
to
ensure
that
we
understand
what
their
desires
are
and
they
actually
understand
the
potential
outcomes
of
it.
D
So
certainly
the
intention
would
be
that
through
that
proactive
process,
we
would
be
engaging
the
property
owners
on
in
that
review.
Obviously,
within
the
overall
scope
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw
project,
it
would
be
impossible
for
us
to
do
that
on
every
property
before
the
new
zoning
bylaw
is
passed.
So
I
think
that's
another.
One
of
the
benefits
of
the
holes
approach
would
be
that
we
could
actually
engage
property
owners
and
have
that
conversation.
D
Through
you,
your
worship,
the
the
process
with
the
other
approach
would
be
basically
the
the
same.
Public
consultation
that's
happening
on
the
new
zoning
bylaw
overall,
which
is
meeting
all
of
the
notice
requirements
of
the
planning
act
going
above
and
beyond
in
a
number
of
ways,
but
the
direct
outreach
to
every
single
property
owner,
because
every
single
property
is
impacted
by
the
new
zoning
by
law.
It
is
not
something
that's
done
within
the
notices
that
are
provided
under
the
planning
act.
A
H
Patterson
for
you,
I
think
this
is
related
to
counselor
dougherty.
So
I'm
not
trying
to
be
repetitious,
but
I'm
trying
to
think
very
practically
about
homeowners,
specifically
so
residential
properties
that
if
we
went
with
the
holes
approach,
is
it
that
neighbors
could
have
different
zoning
bylaws
on
non-site
specific
issues,
so
not
about
what's
built
there,
but
on
trailer,
bylaw
or
pipeline
setbacks,
or
the
other
facets
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw.
If
there
is
a
hole
for
one
neighbor
with
those
other
aspects
of
the
new
zoning
bylaw
not
applied.
D
Through
your
worship,
yes,
there's
definitely
that
potential
so
say
there
was
a
site-specific
exception
in
a
residential
zone
with
the
holes
approach.
If
the
existing
provisions
of
8499
applied,
they
would
certainly
have
different
provisions
for
parking
and
and
pipelines,
and
and
everything
that
you've
mentioned,
that
are,
would
be
included
in
the
general
provisions.
I
would
note
that
with
any
property
when
it
was
established
so
say
with
the
legal
non-conforming
use
provisions
that
same
property.
D
If
you
deleted
that
exception,
they
would
have
those
same
legal
non-conforming
use
permissions
because
they
would
have
developed
their
property
under
the
bylaw.
That
was
in
effect
at
the
time.
So,
if
we
changed
a
provision
in
new
zoning
bylaw
those
same
legal
non-conforming
use,
permissions
would
would
continue
to
protect
those
properties
in
the
same
way
as
long
as
it's
continued
to
be
used
for
that
same
purpose.
H
My
second
question
and
will
be
my
final
one
for
now-
is
pretty
high
level,
but
I'm
wondering
if
we're
intending
to
simplify
our
bylaw
system
across
the
corporation.
Doesn't
the
whole's
approach
continue
the
fact
that
we'll
have
now
four
different
bylaws,
the
three
that
exists
currently
plus
the
new
zoning
bylaw
for
the
non-hold
areas.
E
G
A
L
L
I
mean
if
you
wanted,
to
double
the
size
of
the
building
with
the
old
bylaw
or
the
new
bylaw
apply,
then
what
I'm
looking
for
is
what
is
the
minimum
to
trigger
a
move
to
the
new
bio
like
wanting
to
change
like
you
know,
change
their
parking
requirements.
You
know
I
mean
it
seemed
to
me.
Some
of
the
answers
were
suggesting
that
you
want
the
new
parking
requirements
under
the
new
bylaw.
D
Your
worship,
so
it's
a
really
difficult
question
to
answer.
Hypothetically,
the
existing
exceptions
are
all
written
in
a
very
site-specific
manner.
That's
reflective
of
the
development
application
that
was
proposed
at
the
time
that
the
exception
was
passed
so
it
as
long
as
any
new
development
on
that
lot
continued
to
conform
exactly
with
the
way
that
that
exception
was
written
in
the
context
of
the
existing
zoning
bylaw,
they
would
be
allowed
to
continue
to
develop
that
law
in
that
manner.
With
the
holes
approach
there
would
be
if
they
were
asking
for
some
type
of
revision.
D
It
would
certainly
be
a
discussion
with
staff,
whether
it's
a
rezoning
application
or
a
minor
variance,
and
I
think
we
would
obviously
try
to
bring
them
into
the
new
zoning
bylaw
and
likely
through
a
rezoning
application
for
for
future
development
on
those
properties.
So
it's
a
really
difficult
question
to
answer
hypothetically,
but
there
are
opportunities
for
for
further
development
on
those
properties
if
it
continues
to
conform
with
the
exception.
L
Okay,
so
in
your
answer,
which
is
quite
consistent
with
what
you
said
before,
because
the
key
word
is
exactly
okay,
so
do
you
see
you
see
the
problem
understand
what
exactly
exactly
is
happening
here.
Is
that
some
level
we
would
let
you
go
along
with
the
old
bylaw
as
long
as
you
exactly
are
in
line
with
it,
but
you
can
see
that
there's
going
to
desire
by
some
to
you
know,
cherry
pick
the
the
requirements
of
whatever
bylaw
it
is
and
so
that
it
doesn't
trigger
that
move,
and
I
respect
your
answer.
C
I
think
you
enter
your
worship,
so
counselor
hutcherson
you're
right.
It
is
a
very
important
question
and
I
understand
why
ms
flaherty
is
being
guarded
and
what
she's
saying,
because
there
are
so
many
different
permutations
of
what
we
could
be
talking
about.
It's
it's
not
like
an
apple
as
an
apple
as
an
apple
and
when
you're
talking
about
the
expansion
of
illegal
non-conforming
use.
There's
tests
that
you
have
to
look
at
and
it's
really
about
not
increasing
the
degree
of
non-conformity
but
to
laura's
point
depending
on
what
the
site
specific
exemptions
are.
C
It
gets
complicated.
I
think
what
council
needs
to
understand
or
what
is
important
to
understand,
and
I
know
counselor.
This
is
about
what
degree
triggers
this
process.
So
if
an
applicant
is
going
outside
of
the
permissions
of
their
site-specific
exemption,
then
that's
going
to
trigger
a
process
under
the
planning
act.
It
may
be
a
minor
variance.
It
may
be
a
rezoning.
C
It
depends
on
what
it
is,
but
when
those
new
processes
are
triggered,
they're
reviewed
against
the
the
official
plan
because
they're
a
net
news,
so
the
full
weight
of
the
net
new
provisions
get
applied
against
whatever.
That
is
from
a
test
perspective
to
look
at
whether
it's
appropriate.
I
know
that's
kind
of
a
high
level
answer
and
there's
lots
of
variations
depending
on
the
site-specific
nature
of
the
policy,
but
that's
generally
how
it
would
be
approached
and
what
would
apply
to
any
kind
of
net
new
consideration
beyond
the
site-specific
permissions
that
exist.
L
L
L
Ego's
longer
unconforming
sorry
approach
in
the
in
the
new
bylaw,
presumably
we're
trying
to
bring
in
some
progressives
or
forward-looking
changes
which
have
been
you
know,
indicated
tonight,
some
of
them,
and
so,
if
we
don't
use
that
second
option
of
legal
non-conforming,
are
we
sensing
sentencing
the
rest
of
the
city
to
being
behind
the
times
like
I'm,
unlike
counselor,
neil
I'd?
I
think
this
could
hang
on
for
decades
and
decades,
so
in
some
form,
so
so
that
some
of
the
zoning
is
less
progressive
than
the
rest.
D
Through
your
worship,
so
certainly
the
holes
approach,
which
would
maintain
existing
permissions,
is
being
proposed
because
there's
a
potential
that
some
of
those
red
exceptions
don't
confirm
with
our
official
plan.
So
the
the
very
nature
of
that
holes
approach
is
founded
on
the
idea
that
some
of
them
are
really
outdated.
Standards
that
don't
conform
with
their
op
policies
and
our
vision
for
future
growth.
D
L
And
I
think
that
ms
morley's
comment
that
only
five
percent
of
the
properties
are
really
affected
under
the
whole
approach.
Anyway,
did
I
hear
that
correctly
right?
Okay,
yes,
okay!
So
a
couple
of
process
questions
yeah,
can
we
have
ms
flaherty
send
her
slide
deck
to
council,
since
this
is
a
very
long
process.
We're
involved
in
thank
you
and
tonight
we're
primarily
concerned
on
how
to
treat
the
red
site
exceptions
through
the
holes
approach
or
the
the
zoning
approach.
C
No
thank
you
for
you
and
ms
flaherty
may
want
to
add
additional
information.
Staff
are
open
to
working
with
members
of
the
public
right
up
until
the
time
that
we
have
a
council
decision,
so
any
feedback
we've
been
trying
to
provide.
You
know
long
lead
times
for
for
feedback.
I
think,
with
respect
to
the
second
draft,
we
have
right
now.
We've
had
a
two
month
window
for
review,
but
recognizing
people
are
busy
and
it's
also
very
complicated,
we're
open
to
receiving
feedback
for
sure
counselor.
C
We
are
hoping
to
have
some
direction
tonight
on
the
exceptions
piece,
but
council
won't
have
the
full
bylaw
before
it
for
several
months
in
terms
of
a
final
decision
and
staff
recommendations.
So
we
do
have
a
number
of
intervening
months,
but
I
think
the
key
message
is:
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
reach
out
and
get
engaged
in
the
process,
the
greatest
extent
possible
as
early
in
the
process
as
possible,
but
there
there
will
be
other
opportunities,
of
course,
to
continue
to
work
and
provide
feedback.
C
Yes-
and
we
do
have
a
statutory
public
meeting
coming
up
of
planning
committee
in
in
december-
and
people
often
have
you
know-
have
comments
that
are
provided
through
various
public
meetings
and
processes.
It's
that
it's
just
the
way
that
it
works
in
planning
and
where
the
information
shows
up,
but
we're
taking
all
that
information
and
constantly
reviewing
it.
And
since
we've
issued
the
draft
we've
been
working
on
revisions
ever
since
we
issued
draft
too.
So
it
will
continue
to
be
an
iterative
process.
G
G
So
my
question
really
is:
if
council
does
make
a
decision
to
go
with
the
holes
approach,
for
example,
what
would
it
take
to
encourage
staff
to
reach
out
to
those
who
you
know
eleven
hundred
or
eight?
You
know
whatever
the
number
was
that
the
more
than
800
red
zone
places,
but
all
those
places
that
would
be
impacted
by
this
new
bylaw
just
to
make
sure
that
if
there
are
any
issues
that
they
think
that
the
property
owner
might
have,
I
just
think
that
this
is
such
a
substantive
change.
G
That
would
be
incumbent
upon
us
as
council.
Even
if
it's
in
our
our
final
tax
bill
for
these
residents
to
have
them
informed
directly,
rather
than
being
responsible
to
to
look
on
online
or
participate
at
a
planning
committee
meeting-
and
I'm
wondering
is
that
something
that's
envisioned
by
the
planning
staff
to
do
a
proper
notice.
In
that
regard.
C
Thank
you
and
for
you,
mayor,
patterson,
so
certainly
counselor
chapel.
We
agree
with
the
importance
of
public
engagement
on
this.
We've
been
trying
really
hard
to
get
people
engaged
through
the
whole
process,
but
when
we're
talking
about
site-specific
pieces,
it
does
have
an
added
level
of
concern
for
individuals
and
and
people
are,
are
often
not
as
connected
to
their
zoning
or
their
property
permissions,
as
maybe
they
should
be
up
until
the
time
where
they
want
to
do
something
with
their
property,
and
then
they
have
a
challenge.
C
So
what
we'd
be
talking
about
is
probably
about
2000
letters
that
we
would
need
to
send
out
to
property
owners
to
address
what
you're
talking
about
which
staff
are
able
to
do.
The
thing
I
would
flag
is
that
I
think
we
would
need
to
lengthen
the
time
of
the
completion
of
the
bylaws.
Once
we
send
out
the
2000
letters,
we
then
have
to
do
the
follow-up
and
provide
timing
to
be
able
to
meet
and
receive
any
responses
and
then
make
corresponding
changes.
