Other Business/New Business

Discussion at the request of Councillor Fortini re: Development Charges

Committee discussion on the matter included the following:

• creation of an incentive program for high-rise office development
• waiving the City's development charges; budget impact, recovery through property taxes, and timeframe
• classification and criteria of high-rise developments 
• Central Area Community Improvement Plan and Housing Strategy; incentives to encourage and expedite construction 

The following motion was considered:

• PDC139-2020

  That staff explore the opportunity of waiving the City’s development charge (DC) portion, either full amount or a portion of DCs depending when construction occurs (i.e. three, five or seven years), for high-rise developments across the City and report back to the Planning and Development Committee with the financial implications in Q1 of 2021, or in the context of budget deliberations if possible;

  That staff undertake a review of the current Central Area CIP and Housing Strategy:

  1. to potentially offer financial and non-financial incentives that would expedite the construction of  residential development and offer an array of housing tenure along transit corridors city-wide;
  2. to ensure residential, commercial, and office development occurs in a timely manner, all financial and non-financial incentives should have a specific timeframe prescribed (i.e. three years); and
  3. for staff to report back to the Planning and Development Committee within Q1 of 2021 with their findings.
