Staff Report re: DC Incentives for Purpose Built Rental Housing

Committee discussion on this matter included the following:

• Development Charge (DC) reduction options
• Process and timelines for updating the DC By-law  
• DC discounts in surrounding municipalities
• Suggestion that an additional program be developed for providing DC relief
• Need for purpose built rentals and a competitive rental market in Brampton to counteract the illegal rental market
• Provincial Building Faster Fund, which provides funding to municipalities that achieve at least 80 per cent of their provincially designated housing targets
  • It was noted that Brampton did not achieve its housing target and will therefore not receive funding 
• Opportunity to increase rental housing in Brampton

A motion was introduced with the following operative clause:

Now therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to undertake a Development Charges By-law amendment to enact the development charge reduction incentive effective immediately, until the end of term of Council, November 14, 2026 with the following elements:

• 50% DC discount for 1-bedroom units
• 75% DC discount for 1-bedroom+den and 2-bedroom units
• 100% DC discount for 3-bedroom units
• 100% DC discount for 2+bedroom units with mixed use; and

That the report from Steve Ganesh, Commissioner, Planning, Building and Growth Management, and Nash Damer, Treasurer, Corporate Support Services, to the Committee of Council Meeting of September 3, 2025, re: DC Incentives for Purpose-Built Rental Housing, be received.

Further Committee discussion on this matter included the following:

• Indication that Additional Residential Units (ARUs) currently make up the majority of housing development in Brampton, and these units do not qualify for the Building Faster Fund
• Inability to collect DCs and additional property taxes from ARUs
• Costs associated with enforcing ARUs and illegal units
• Previous request for the Province to pause ARUs in certain concentrated areas in Brampton
• Concerns regarding lost revenue from the proposed DC incentives
• Funding for growth-related infrastructure, and an indication that this will be considered during the 2026 budget process
• Region of Peel DC program and timelines, and how it differs from the City's proposed DC incentive program
• Number of units ready for building permit issuance
• Indication that, unlike ARUs, purpose-built rentals will generate tax revenue and help the City achieve its housing targets to qualify for the Building Faster Fund
• Inclusion of a Rental Tenure Period and clawback clauses in the DC reduction agreement between the applicant and the City
• Indication from staff that the proposed DC reduction program is designed for apartments only

The following amendment to the motion was introduced and accepted by the mover:

That, in addition, staff be requested to report on potential reduction of DCs for 5000 units across the City that are currently fully serviced, registered, and meet timelines of the Regional program; such report to include the criteria to be eligible for this DC reduction program. 

The motion, as amended, was considered as follows.

• CW266-2025

  Whereas it is evident that the City of Brampton needs to make bold moves to incentivize and accelerate the supply of purpose-built rental housing to meet the needs of our residents; and

  Whereas purpose-built rental incentives support the opportunity to move away from relying on the secondary rental market, particularly through Additional Rental Units (ARUs), for gentle densification and rental housing supply; and 

  Whereas this DC incentive program can work to incentivize redevelopment opportunities in the city; and

  Whereas the City of Brampton wants to supply appropriate flexibility in the DC incentive program for purpose-built rental housing to secure both attainable housing and compete communities,

  Now therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to undertake a Development Charges By-law amendment to enact the development charge reduction incentive effective immediately, until the end of term of Council, November 14, 2026 with the following elements:

  • 50% DC discount for 1-bedroom units
  • 75% DC discount for 1-bedroom+den and 2-bedroom units
  • 100% DC discount for 3-bedroom units
  • 100% DC discount for 2+bedroom units with mixed use; and

  That the report from Steve Ganesh, Commissioner, Planning, Building and Growth Management, and Nash Damer, Treasurer, Corporate Support Services, to the Committee of Council Meeting of September 3, 2025, re: DC Incentives for Purpose-Built Rental Housing, be received; and

  That, in addition, staff be requested to report on potential reduction of DCs for 5000 units across the City that are currently fully serviced, registered, and meet timelines of the Regional program; such report to include the criteria to be eligible for this DC reduction program. 

  Carried

• Further Committee discussion took place regarding the impact of ARUs and illegal rental units in Brampton, and the need to advocate the Province for more control over, and a pause on, ARUs in the City. 

  The following motion was considered.

  CW267-2025

  Whereas a mix and range of housing options is essential to meet the needs of residents at all ages, stages and income levels.

  Whereas given the primary rental market has had limited growth in the last few decades, many Brampton residents (in particular students) have little choice and turned to the secondary market, specifically in the form of additional residential units (ARUs).

  Whereas the aggressive promotion of Additional Residential Units (ARUs) by provincial policy and legislation has led to more than 26,000 registered ARUs in Brampton, now representing over 60 percent of new residential units in 2025.

  Whereas development charges to finance necessary growth related infrastructure and services are not collected in ARU construction, therefore creating a financial strain for the City.

  Whereas the proliferation of ARUs in any one neighbourhood can undermine community character, increase property standard violations and strain services such as, by-law enforcement, 311, recreation centres, fire, and transit.

  Whereas despite efforts by the City of Brampton requesting the province allow for a temporary pause on ARU construction, allowing the city to catch up on property standard and unsafe living condition cases, the province continues to promote universal ARU legislation, causing additional strain on city services.

  Whereas the City of Brampton is proactively addressing the rental market gap by incentivizing purpose built rental housing, in an effort to provide an alternative to ARUs to mitigate the strain on city services.

  Whereas the City of Brampton is prepared to financially risk manage the purpose built rental incentive by offering significant reductions up to 100% on development charges, in absence of provincial funding.

  Now therefore it be resolved that the City of Brampton request the Province to reverse their aggressive ARU legislation and policy, and allow the City to govern the amount and location of ARUs in a manner that ensures compatibility with infrastructure capacity, service delivery and neighbourhood context, including a pause on ARUs in concentrated areas to further incentivize purpose built rental development in these areas.

  A recorded vote was requested and the motion carried as follows:

  Yea (7)	Regional Councillor Santos , Regional Councillor Vicente , Regional Councillor Palleschi, Regional Councillor Medeiros, Regional Councillor Fortini , Mayor Patrick Brown, and Regional Councillor Keenan
  Nay (4)	Deputy Mayor Singh, Regional Councillor Toor, City Councillor Power, and Regional Councillor Brar
