Getting diversified public feedback ultimately leads to better decision making and policy discussions. Gaining a full range of perspectives also increases the likelihood of successful implementation of public programming because the entire community takes ownership.”https://www.bangthetable.com/blog/inclusive-engagement/Page 6 of 308 PROJECT OVERVIEWPHASE 1 – WHERE WE AREREVIEW/REPORT• This initial phase focused on connecting and gathering information to gain understanding • This work entailed two pieces:• A collection of conversations with municipal departments and local community organizational leaders • The development of a high level demographic snapshot of our communities. PHASE 2 – WHAT IS NEXTENGAGE/LEARN• This phase will focus on learning and engaging around the key themes and opportunities. Such as:• Municipal staff workshops• Institutional partner engagement/presentation• Engaging on themes through Neighbourhood Network partners and communities• Process development for organization listingPage 7 of 308 PHASE 1 ELEMENTSDemographic Snapshot • Based on 2016 Census Data and York Region demographic reportsMunicipal & Community Conversations• 20 conversations across all three municipalities • Planning, communications, recreation, economic development, library, HR, culture• Council engagement sessions (March/April)• 14 Community organization conversationsMunicipal Committee engagement• Aurora – to come Accessibility and ABR/AR taskforce, Aurora Collaborative Arts Committee• Newmarket Anti-Black Racism Task Force and Internal D&I• EG – D&I CommitteePage 8 of 308 DEMOGRAPHIC SNAPSHOTVISIBLE MINORITY -OVERALLVISIBLE MINORITY –TOP 5¹From Census - Visible minority refers to whether a person belongs to a visible minority group as defined bythe Employment Equity Act and if so, the visible minority group to which the person belongs. The EmploymentEquity Act defines visible minorities as “persons other than Aboriginal peoples who are non-Caucasian in raceor non-white in colour.” The visible minority population consists mainly of the following groups: South Asian,Chinese, Black, Filipino, Latin American, Arab, Southeast Asian, West Asian, Korean, and Japanese.Page 9 of 308 ¹¹ Taken from York Region Census Release Report – Population, Families, Households and Marital StatusPage 10 of 308 Theme 1: Meet people where they are ƒGo beyond traditional communications tacticsƒShift from expecting people to come to “us” to meeting people where they already are bothphysically and onlineTheme 2: Engage with intentionWhether in general engagement or purposeful for a program, policy or strategy engage with an intentional inclusive lens - reach out specifically to underrepresented groupsƒLeverage community partners to share and engageƒDevelop relationships with community for relationship and trust purpose - shift from transactional focusTHEMESPage 11 of 308 Theme 3: Communicate the commitmentƒEnsure commitment to DEI and inclusive engagement is clearly articulated and understood internally as a priorityƒWherever communicating with community reinforce commitment both in message and alsoapproach to engagement and communicationsƒGive clarity across organization and from leadership that working through an inclusive lens is a key priorityƒMake it clear and measured expectationTheme 4: Make the informal, formalƒEmbed this within all work – notjust Inclusion and Diversity focused work (and/or HR)ƒShift inclusive engagement and DEI away from side of desk to ingrained in process and systemsƒArticulate expectations of inclusive lens to engagement both internal and to external programming partnersTHEMESPage 12 of 308 THEME 5: Access Who is invited? Who feels included? Where are there barriers?ƒAccessibility speaks not only to physical access, but also to access of processes, programs, people, and place/space. It also deals with how we engage the communities we serve to make them feel welcome and encouraged to participate. THEME 6: Engage meaningfully At times, the ways in which we communicate and engage can themselves become barriers. There is an opportunity to examine how, when, and why we engage and how we can do it with an intention towards creating meaning, trust, and relationships. This is broken down in 3 areas:ƒThe relationships we buildƒThe words we useƒThe ways we engage and expectation mismatchTHEMESPage 13 of 308 AREAS OF OPPORTUNITYLeadershipWho are our leaders? Who is at the decision-making tables? How do we identify leaders?Broad Community Leadership DevelopmentExplore the idea of a “Community Leadership Development” program in the 3 municipalities and potentially N6 – focused on developing a pipeline of leadersMunicipalities as a Leader, Champion, and Catalyst for Change Local municipalities have an opportunity to take an increased leadership role in action and change around inclusive engagementPartnershipWho do we partner with and why? This speaks to the themes of meeting people where they are and engaging with intention. Whether for broad communications strategies or specific engagement opportunities, creating a partnership strategy through an inclusive lens will help ensure more reflective and inclusive involvementPage 14 of 308 AREAS OF OPPORTUNITYBuilding capacity for communitySimilar to partnerships, for many grass roots organizations and members of marginalized communities there may be a lack of clarity on how to engage with their municipalities, what the opportunities are, and the protocols for engagement.Stories – Breaking Through with StoriesThere are incredible stories of impact and potential in our communities. What role can local municipalities play in amplifying and prioritizing these voices?Creating Spaces and Opportunities for ConversationsAs noted in the themes, it is important to look at how and where we engage as a lever for change.Measuring SuccessTraditional areas of measurement (ex: the total number of event attendees) can be a barrier tocreating inclusive programming as our communities change.Collaborative OpportunitiesThere are two potential areas and a gap that could be a shared opportunityto explore – translation and community development/building/awareness.Page 15 of 308 Development and delivery of Municipal workshops Institutional partner engagement/presentationEngaging on themes through NNetwork partners Process development for organization listingPage 16 of 308 Page 17 of 308 100 John West Way Aurora, Ontario L4G 6J1 (905) 727-3123 aurora.ca Town of Aurora Delegation Request Legislative Services This Delegation Request form and any written submissions or background information for consideration by either Council or Committees of Council must be submitted to Legislative Services.

Page 35 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 Regional Council endorsed the conversion request. As such, the subject applications were able to proceed through the Town’s development review process. Updates to the proposed applications since the October 2020 Public Meeting generally include:  The introduction of larger (12.8 metre/42 foot) lots fronting Weslock Crescent, Halldorson Avenue and Kane Crescent;  The addition of a new site-specific Official Plan policy relating to the density calculation across the lands proposed to be designated as Medium-High Density Residential;  The introduction of a new lot/block pattern for the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision application; and,  Revisions to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment to align with the revisions to the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision In addition, the applicant is in the process of securing a small remanent parcel owned by York Region fronting Wellington Street East between Block 37 and 53 on the draft plan (see Figure 4). The lands are approximately 146 square metres in area. This may result in the addition of one townhouse unit to the development, if the remanent parcel is acquired by the applicant. Location/Land Use The subject lands are municipally known as 20 and 25 Mavrinac Boulevard (see Figure 1) and are located on the north side of Wellington Street East, on the east and west side of Mavrinac Boulevard.

These policies support the development of strong communities through the promotion of efficient land use and development patterns. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (the Growth Plan), is a guiding document for growth management within the Greater Golden Horseshoe Area. The Growth Plan provides a framework that guide land-use planning. The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) provides policies that address aquatic life, water quality and quantity, shorelines and natural heritage, other threats and activities (invasive species, climate change and recreational activities) and implementation. A portion of the subject lands on the east development block is within an area regulated by the LSRCA under Ontario Regulation 179/06 of the Conservation Authorities Act. A permit from the LSRCA will be required prior to development or site alteration occurring on this portion of the subject lands. York Region Official Plan (YROP) The YROP designates the subject lands as “Urban Area”. The vision for the Urban Area is to strategically focus growth while conserving resources; and to create sustainable, lively communities. A goal of the YROP is to enhance the Region’s urban structure through city building, intensification, and compact, complete vibrant communities. Page 37 of 308 June 15, 2021 6 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 A wetland and watercourse are located within 120 metres east of the subject lands as identified on Map 4 of the YROP. Wellington Street is a Regional Road with a planned road width of up to 36 metres. The subject lands are partially within a Wellhead Protection Area D (WHPA-D), and a Recharge Management Area (WHPA-Q). In October 2020, Regional Council endorsed a site-specific employment conversion request on the subject lands through the MCR process which has been deemed to conform to the 2031 Regional Official Plan. Therefore, the subject applications are able to proceed through the Town’s development review process. Bayview Northeast Area 2B Secondary Plan Area (OPA 30) The subject lands are designated as “Business Park” by OPA 30 (see Figure 2). This designation intends to provide opportunities for a mix of high-quality employment uses and a variety of supporting commercial and community facilities geared generally to satisfying the needs of residents, businesses and employees in the Town and Region. The Business Park designation does not permit residential uses, and therefore an Official Plan Amendment is required to re-designate the subject lands to “Low-Medium Density Residential” and “Medium-High Density Residential”. Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended The subject lands are zoned “Holding Provision Business Park Exception 313 (H)E- BP(313) Zone” and “Business Park Exception 313 (E-BP(313) Zone”, and the lands currently owned by York Region between Blocks 37 and 53 on the Draft Plan are zoned “Public Open Space O1” by the Town of Aurora Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended (see Figure 3). The proposed uses are not permitted, and therefore a Zoning By-law Amendment application is required. Reports and Studies Documents submitted in support of complete applications for the subject applications were listed in Public Planning Report Number PDS20-057. Proposed Applications The proposed applications will facilitate the development of a six-storey supportive housing building (seniors citizens’ home), 37 single detached dwellings, and 209 townhouse dwellings Page 38 of 308 June 15, 2021 7 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 A draft plan of subdivision application (see Figure 4) has been submitted to create 36 single detached lots, one block for a future supportive housing building, and blocks for future parcels of tied lands for townhouses and one single detached dwelling. The following is a breakdown of the proposed draft plan of subdivision: Proposed Land Use Lot and Block # # of Units Area (ha) Single detached residential 1-36 36 1.34 Single detached residential (future POTL) 37 1 0.06 Townhouse Dwellings (Street townhouses) 38-52 85 1.80 Townhouse Dwellings (Laneway townhouses) 53-58 36-37* 0.52- 0.53* Townhouse Dwellings (Back-to-back townhouses) 59-66 88 0.82 Supportive Housing Building (senior citizens home) 67 203 (86 apartment and 117 retirement suites) 0.77 Parkette 68 N/A 0.07 Servicing Block 69 N/A 0.07 Common Elements 70-71 N/A 1.46 Totals 71 332 (333*) dwelling units + 117 retirement suites 6.91- 6.92* * Denotes if additional lands are secured from York Region for inclusion within the development. A total of 36 single detached dwellings with a minimum lot frontage of 12.8 metres (42 feet) and minimum lot area of 310 square metres are proposed fronting onto existing local roads (Weslock Crescent, Halldorson Avenue, and Kane Crescent). One single detached dwelling with a minimum lot frontage (irregular) of 6.5 metres (21.3 feet) will front onto a private road within the west development block. A six-storey senior citizens building is proposed within a 0.77 hectare (1.93 acre) block at the northeast corner of Mavrinac Boulevard and Wellington Street East. The building will consist of 203 units targeted to seniors including 86 rental apartment units, and 117 retirement suites (consisting of units for nursing care and independent living). Vehicular access is provided from Mavrinac Boulevard, and 145 parking spaces (45 at grade and 100 below-grade) are proposed to service the building. This building will be subject to a future site plan application. Page 39 of 308 June 15, 2021 8 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 A total of 209 townhouse units are proposed consisting of three different built-forms: rear-lane townhouse units, two-storey traditional (street) townhouse units and three- story back to back townhouse units. 36 three-storey Rear-Lane Townhouse Units are proposed fronting onto Mavrinac Boulevard and Wellington Street East; 85 two-storey Street Townhouse Units are proposed primarily backing onto the proposed single detached lots and the valley; and 88 three-storey Back-to-Back Townhouse Units are located central to the development blocks. Private parkettes are proposed within each development block. The parkette on the east block will service both the townhouse dwellings and senior citizens building. The townhouse units and one single detached dwelling are contemplated as a common elements condominium. These units will eventually be parcels of tied land (POTL) with interests in common elements including private roads, sidewalks, visitor parking area, parkettes, and a servicing block. Vehicular access is proposed via Mavrinac Boulevard, and along existing local roads (Halldorson Avenue and Kane Crescent). 69 visitor parking spaces are proposed, which is in excess of the Town’s Zoning By-law requirements. A future Draft Plan of Condominium application is required to establish the proposed common elements. A Site Plan Application has been submitted for the townhouse blocks to address such matters as site and building design, servicing, etc. The applicant is currently in the process of securing additional lands along Wellington Street East (between Blocks 37 and 53) from the Region. If acquired, an additional townhouse unit is contemplated within Block 53 on the draft plan. A conceptual site plan for the overall development is included as Figure 5 to this report. The proposed development will connect to municipal services. The 36 lots located along the north and west limits of the development will connect to existing sanitary sewers. The west block townhouses will connect to the existing sewer on Mavrinac Boulevard, and the townhouses on the east block will connect to the existing trunk sewer on the north side of Wellington Street East. For water supply, the development will connect to the existing watermain along Mavrinac Boulevard. Stormwater will be managed at the southeast corner of the development, conveyed via an easement to a proposed controlled outlet to the wetland within Marsh Creek east of the subject lands. The existing headwall will be replaced with additional erosion protection. Other measures proposed for managing the quantity and quality of storm water runoff include the use of catch basins and Low Impact Development (LIDs). Page 40 of 308 June 15, 2021 9 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 The applicant is seeking an Official Plan Amendment to re-designate the subject lands to from “Business Park” to “Low-Medium Density Residential” and “Medium-High Density Residential”, and to enact site-specific policies on the subject lands Amendments to schedule ‘AA’ of OPA 30, and Schedule ‘H’ of the Town of Aurora Official Plan to create a new site-specific policy area are required (see Figures 6 and 7). The applicant is proposing to amend two policies in Section 3.2.2 of OPA 30, relating to permitted uses, and the calculation of density within the Medium-High Density Residential designation. The following Table compares the difference between the existing and proposed policy framework. Existing Proposed Permitted Uses – Policy 3.2.2 (b)(i) Medium-High Density housing shall include a range of predominantly above grade housing forms such as stacked rowhouses, terrace homes, maisonettes, and garden apartments. Addition of a six-storey supportive housing building (seniors citizens’ home) as a permitted use Density – Policy 3.2.2 (b)(iii) The maximum net residential density for any individual lot and/or block designated Medium-High Density Residential shall generally not exceed 99 units per hectare (40 units per acre) The maximum net residential density for all lands designated as Medium-High Density Residential across the subject lands, shall generally not exceed 99 units per hectare (40 units per acre) The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands to multiple residential exception zones to facilitate the proposed development As shown in Figure 8, the applicant is proposing to rezone the subject lands to “Detached Fourth Density Residential Exception R4(XX) Zone”, “Townhouse Dwelling Residential Exception R8(XX) Zone”, and “Second Density Apartment Residential Exception RA2(XX) Zone”. Charts comparing the proposed residential exception zones to the parent zone categories are included in this report as Appendix ‘B’. Exceptions to the site-specific zones will introduce provisions for permitted uses, lot and siting specifications, yard exemptions and setback encroachments, and parking requirements. Page 41 of 308 June 15, 2021 10 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 The Regional Municipality of York is the approval authority for the proposed Official Plan Amendment application The applicant has not applied to the Regional Municipality of York for exempting the subject Official Plan Amendment application from Regional approval. Therefore, the Region is the approval authority for the subject Official Plan Amendment. Analysis Planning Considerations The proposed applications are consistent with the PPS The subject lands are located within a Settlement Area as defined by the PPS and the proposed development is consistent with the PPS objectives of contributing to a healthy, liveable and safe community, and focusing growth to settlement areas. The development makes efficient use of vacant land within an existing community that has municipal services, community facilities, and infrastructure in place. The density of the proposed development is considerate of the adjacent building stock, with an appropriate transition in massing, density, and height from Weslock Crescent, Halldorson Avenue, and Kane Crescent. The proposed development is located adjacent to the David Tomlinson Nature Reserve to the east, local roads to the north and west, a minor collector road (that bisects the subject lands), and a Regional arterial road to the south, thereby providing an appropriate separation from existing low-rise low-medium density residential uses situated proximal to the subject lands. In accordance with the PPS, Planning authorities may permit the conversion of lands within employment areas to non-employment uses through a comprehensive review, where it has been demonstrated that the land is not required for employment purposes over the long term. Through the MCR process, York Region endorsed the conversion of the subject lands to non-employment uses. The proposed applications are consistent with the Growth Plan The Growth Plan generally encourages intensification throughout Settlement Areas and supports the development of complete communities, which may take on different shapes and forms appropriate to their context. The proposed development supports the objective of complete communities by providing for a mix and range of housing types and tenures to the community, while providing an appropriate built form transition to the Page 42 of 308 June 15, 2021 11 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 existing community. The mix of residential uses and unit sizes will support opportunities to serve all sizes, incomes, and ages of households. Population targets established in municipal official plans continue to apply to all planning matters in accordance with the Growth Plan. The YROP requires a minimum of 40% of all residential development to occur within the built-up area, as defined by the “Built Boundary” in the Growth Plan. The proposed development will contribute to the minimum 40% intensification target within the Built-Up Area of the Town. The proposed applications conform to the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) The subject lands are located within 120 metres of a Provincially Significant Wetland (East Aurora Wetland Complex), and valley lands characterized by steep sloped associated with a tributary of Marsh Creek. The LSRCA has reviewed the proposed applications in concert with the LSPP and has provided that consistency with Section 3.1 of the PPS has been demonstrated, and there is no objection to the proposed applications, subject to fulfillment of conditions of draft plan approval as included in Appendix A to this report. A portion of the subject lands are regulated by the LSRCA and therefore, a permit will be required prior to development or site alteration. The proposed applications conform to the York Region Official Plan (YROP) The proposed applications conform to the objective of achieving healthy communities. The development provides a mix and range of unit types, sizes, and tenures for all household types, including seniors. Further, the proposed development contributes to the York Region Population forecasts for the Town of Aurora. The YROP encourages dense compact residential housing forms to be located in proximity to transit and other human services. As mentioned, YRT bus routes are located in proximity to the subject lands, and the Aurora GO Station is located 2.2 kilometers west of the subject lands. Several community facilities are located in proximity to the development. The proposed applications conform to the YROP objective of achieving a sustainable natural environment. Development of the common element condominium portion of the subject lands, and the supportive housing building will be subject to Site Plan Control, where the applicant will be required to have an integrated and innovative approach to water management, landscape treatment, and will incorporate low impact development Page 43 of 308 June 15, 2021 12 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 measures where appropriate and feasible. Additionally, the Official Plan encourages building designs to incorporate green initiatives. Staff support the proposed amendments to OPA 30 to permit the development The Low-Medium Density Residential designation permits single detached dwellings that are a maximum of three-storeys in height. The maximum density limit for this designation is 44 units per net residential hectare (18 units per net acre). The proposed single detached dwellings will be two-storeys in height, and the overall density for this portion of the development is 26.9 units per net residential hectare (10.9 units per net acre). The Medium-High Density Residential designation is intended for lands adjacent to roads such as Wellington Street East, where public facilities are most accessible. It permits a range of above-ground housing forms, including street/block rowhouses, and supportive housing such as seniors housing and retirement residence. The maximum net residential density for any individual lot and/or block with this designation shall generally not exceed 99 units per hectare (40 units per acre). Buildings shall generally not exceed four storeys, but height increases up to seven storeys at certain locations across Wellington Street East are contemplated as considered appropriate by applicable urban design guidelines. Six-storeys for the supportive housing apartment represents a modest form of intensification above the general four-storey height permission in OPA 30. The building is strategically located at the northeast corner of Wellington Street East and Mavrinac Boulevard where there is access to transit, and mitigates visual and shadowing impacts onto the existing community. Site plan control for the seniors’ building will further establish a compatible and attractive built form within the immediate and greater community. A site-specific policy to permit the calculation of density across the portion of the development proposed as Medium-High Density Residential is appropriate, as the current policy requires a density calculation across each of the 30 residential blocks proposed within the plan of subdivision. With the proposed amended policy, the development has a density of 75.4 units per net residential hectare (30.5 units per net acre). It is important to note that retirement suites within the supportive housing building do not factor into the density calculations because they are institutional in nature. Should remanent parcel be secured from the Region of York, Section 15.1 (b) of the Town’s Official Plan permits for minor amendments to designation boundaries without Page 44 of 308 June 15, 2021 13 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 an amendment. The Region has confirmed that the lands will not be mapped in the updated Regional Official Plan as “Employment”. Therefore, Staff are satisfied that a boundary amendment to include these lands within the proposed Official Plan Amendment is appropriate. The lands represent a remnant parcel and are located central to the west development block. The addition of these lands to the Official Plan Amendment is considered minor in nature. Given the applicant is proposing a comprehensive development across multiple blocks on a plan consisting of a range of built-forms, Staff are satisfied that the general intent of the density calculation policy is maintained. Additionally, a site-specific Zoning By- law will further regulate the location of densities across the proposed development. The proposed applications are appropriate and compatible with the host community Planning Staff is of the opinion that the subject applications are appropriate and compatible with adjacent and neighbouring community, and that the zoning by-law exceptions are appropriate to facilitate the development. Staff support the proposed site-specific exceptions for the following reasons:  The proposed clauses under zone requirements adequately address the orientation of units within the development as they are situated on a private right- of-way, and assist with establishing appropriate references to lot lines;  The proposed lot area per unit, setbacks and encroachments provides for an appropriate urban built form with an active streetscape frontage.  The proposed Amenity Area reduction for the townhouse units considers a more compact built form, while still accommodating for a minimum amenity space. The street townhouses will have rear yards, and other townhouse built-forms will have an amenity area in the form of terraces. Parkettes are proposed central to each development block to provide for additional amenity area;  Allocating 17 bicycle parking spaces for the apartment component of the retirement residence is appropriate given the use, and provides for one space for every 5 apartment units. Adequate justification has been provided for why no bicycle parking spaces are required for the related Retirement Home use; Page 45 of 308 June 15, 2021 14 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075  The proposed parking supply for the proposed senior citizens building is supported by a Traffic Impact Study prepared by WSP, dated April 20, 2020, as updated March 30, 2021. The Town’s Traffic/Transportation Analyst supports the conclusions of the study. The proposed rates align with the standards provided for in the Meadows of Aurora Development at 15600 Leslie Street; Section 34 (17) of the Planning Act, 1990 R.S.O., as amended, provides that where a change is made in a proposed by-law after the holding of the public meeting, Council shall determine whether any further notice is to be given in respect of the proposed by- law. If the applicant secures additional lands along Wellington Street East from York Region for inclusion within the overall development, Staff are of the opinion that the rezoning of those lands from “Public Open Space O1 Zone” to “Townhouse Dwelling Residential Exception R8(XX) Zone” is appropriate and minor, and does not require further notice to be given. Should the Applications be approved, the implementing Zoning By-law will be brought forward to a future Council meeting for enactment upon final approval of the private Official Plan Amendment by York Region. Department/Agency Comments Town staff and external agencies have no objection to approval of the applications, subject to conditions The proposed applications were circulated to all internal and external agencies for review and comment. All circulated agencies are satisfied with the revisions and have no objections, subject to the conditions of approval outlined in Schedule ‘A’. The following summarize the comments received from the circulation of the subject applications. Development Planning Should the applicant secure additional lands from York Region for incorporation into the overall development, preliminary discussion with the applicant has informed that one (1) additional townhouse unit is contemplated within Block 53 on the draft plan. Staff have no objection to the inclusion of an additional unit within the draft plan, as it does not impact the existing community or density calculations within the proposed plan of subdivision. Recommendations are included at the beginning of this report presenting the next steps to be addressed prior to finalizing Official Plan, Zoning By-law, Page 46 of 308 June 15, 2021 15 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 and Draft Plan of Subdivision instruments, should these lands be secured by the applicant. Development Engineering Staff reviewed the subject applications and have no objections, subject to the draft plan conditions attached hereto as Schedule ‘A’. Servicing infrastructure is available along Mavrinac Boulevard. Technical matters will be satisfied through detailed design of the plan of subdivision. Transportation The Town’s Traffic/Transportation Analyst reviewed the Traffic Impact Study (inclusive of parking analysis) that was submitted with the subject applications and has advised that the methodologies used and conclusions drawn are acceptable for the purpose of these applications. Staff are suggesting that sidewalks within the common elements component of the draft plan be extended to further enhance pedestrian activities and accessibility to the proposed parkettes. A sidewalk will be constructed along the east side of Weslock Crescent, and ample pedestrian connections to Mavrinac Boulevard and Wellington Street East are proposed to facilitate active transportation. Landscaping/Trails Cash-in-lieu of parkland will be required in accordance with Town policy and By-law 4291-01.F. While securing a trail connection was previously contemplated through the servicing block at the southeast limits of the development, it has been determined that this connection is no longer feasible due to the presence of rare sedge marsh in the area, and the considerable engineering required to obtain an accessible trail slope down the embankment. However, there is a trailhead connection at the SARC, which brings pedestrians to Wellington Street and another trail connection north of the development which can be accessed from the east end of River Ridge Boulevard at McLarty Gate. Staff have no objection to the proposed applications, subject to conditions of approval included within Schedule ‘A’ to this report. Accessibility Consideration for an exterior path of travel to be provided from the apartment building to Wellington Street. There are new Design of Public Spaces (Built Environment) Standards enacted from the Province of Ontario, under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act and revisions to the Ontario Building Code to help standardize and encourage barrier free access. Page 47 of 308 June 15, 2021 16 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 Central York Fire Services (CYFS) CYFS has reviewed the subject applications and have no objections, subject to the draft plan conditions included within Schedule ‘A’ to this report. Servicing Allocation Staff are recommending that Council grant servicing allocation in the amount of 685 persons from the Town’s reserve for the proposed development. An average of 3.23 persons per unit (ppu) is required to service a single detached dwelling, and an average of 2.69 ppu is required for townhouse units. Policy Planning has confirmed available capacity to service the development. Allocation for an additional townhouse dwelling unit has been incorporated into the recommended servicing allocation, should the applicant secure additional lands from York Region. The applicant is encouraged to enroll in the Region’s Inflow and Infiltration program. Urban Design The subject lands are subject to the Urban Design Guidelines for the Wellington Street East Corridor and the Bayview Northeast Neighbourhoods Architectural Design Guidelines. The applicant has submitted conceptual elevations for the proposed townhouses and a conceptual streetscape plan for consideration by the Town. Currently a Site Plan Application (File No. SP-2021-08) has been submitted to the Town for the common element blocks on the west and east side of Mavrinac Blvd. Site Plan Control will be required prior to the development of the apartment building. Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) The LSRCA have no objection to the proposed applications, subject to conditions of approval as included within Schedule ‘A’ to this report. Technical engineering matters related will be addressed through detailed engineering design. York Region York Region has no objection to the proposed applications subject to the following:  Functional Servicing and Stormwater Management Report will be revised to verify adequacy of the existing water system to maintain service levels;  Inclusion of a lapsing provision to the Draft Plan of Subdivision approval; Page 48 of 308 June 15, 2021 17 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075  Any comments, requirements, and conditions of the LSRCA related to natural hazard, natural heritage, and recharge management matters being addressed;  Satisfaction of pre-conditions of approval related to entering into an agreement with the Town of Aurora confirming that the applicant is not permitted to enter into agreements of purchase and sale with end users for the subject lands until servicing capacity has been allocated to the development; and,  Satisfaction of conditions of draft plan approval within Schedule ‘A’ to this report. Public Comments Planning Staff have received comments prior to, and at the October 2020 Statutory Public Meeting on the proposed planning applications. No comments were received following the Public Meeting. The minutes of the Public Planning Meeting are attached hereto as Appendix ‘A’. Below is a summary and response to all written and verbal comments received at the time of writing this report: Comment Response Increased traffic and congestion Staff have reviewed the Traffic Impact Study, and advise that the methodologies and conclusions are acceptable for purposes of these applications. Single detached lots should have larger frontages Lot frontages adjacent to existing residential have increased to 12.8 metres (42 feet). Transition from existing neighbourhood to proposed development Detached dwellings are proposed adjacent to the existing housing stock. Higher density ground floor housing is located towards Mavrinac Blvd. and Wellington Street East. Long term build-out of the neighbourhood and retaining the business park designation The subject lands were supported for conversion to non-employment uses through the Region’s MCR process. Proposed road connecting to Kane Crescent from east side of the development. Potential for alternate routes Road connection provides for improved circulation within the development. Size of proposed parkettes, and no access to them for existing community. Consider a functional recreation space Parkettes are to service the proposed development and will be maintained by a future condominium corporation. Alternative recreation space to service the greater community is located in proximity to the proposed development. Page 49 of 308 June 15, 2021 18 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 Location of sidewalks and possible reduction of walkability in the area Sidewalks are planned throughout the proposed development and direct connections to Wellington St. and Mavrinac Blvd. have been added to the development to facilitate walkability. Advisory Committee Review No communication required. Legal Considerations Subsections 22(7) and 22(7.0.2) of the Planning Act states that if Council refuses the Official Plan Amendment application or fails to make a decision on it within 120 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant (or the Minister) may appeal the application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT). Subsection 34(11.0.0.0.1) of the Planning Act states if the passing of a Zoning By-law Amendment also requires an amendment to the Official Plan, and both applications are made on the same day, if Council refuses the Zoning By-law Amendment application or fails to make a decision on it within 120 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant (or Minister) may appeal the application to the LPAT. Subsection 51(34) of the Planning Act states that if Council refuses the Draft Plan of Subdivision application or fails to make a decision on it within 120 days after the receipt of the application, the applicant (or the Minister) may appeal the application to LPAT. The applications were received on May 28, 2020, and therefore the applicant may appeal them to the LPAT at any time. Financial Implications All applicable development fees and charges in this regard have been and will continue to be collected by the Town as required. Communications Considerations On July 9, 2020, Notice of Complete Applications respecting Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications were published in the Auroran and Aurora Banner Newspapers. Additionally, a sign giving notice of a complete application was posted on the subject lands. Page 50 of 308 June 15, 2021 19 of 20 Report No. PDS21-075 On September 24, 2020, notices were issued by mail to all addressed property Owners within a minimum of 120 metres (393 feet) of the subject lands, and all Interested Parties to the applications. Signage on the property was updated with information regarding the Public Meeting. On September 24, 2020, Notice of Public Planning Meeting was published in the Auroran and Aurora Banner newspapers. A Notice of the Public Planning meeting sign was also posted on the subject lands. Public Meeting notification was provided in accordance with the Planning Act. All interested parties were notified that the subject applications would be heard at the June 15, 2021 General Committee Meeting. Link to Strategic Plan The proposed applications support the Strategic Plan goal of supporting an exceptional quality of life for all by strengthening the fabric of our community. Through the addition of 332 residential units, and 115 Retirement Suites, housing is provided in accordance with the objective to collaborate with the development community to ensure future growth includes housing opportunities for everyone. Alternative to the Recommendation 1. That Council provide direction. Conclusions Planning and Development Services reviewed the proposed Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision applications against the relevant Provincial plans, Regional and Town Official Plans, the Town’s Zoning By-law and municipal development standards. The development proposal is considered good planning, and conforms to Provincial and Regional policies and is consistent with policies of the Town’s Official Plan. Therefore, Staff recommend the approval of the subject applications.

That Report No. CMS21-022 be received; and 2. That staff implement a unified Internet Technology network across the entire Library Square complex, including the Aurora Public Library; and 3. That staff assume responsibility for all aspects of the computer network for Library Square, including the wide area network, local area network, Wi-Fi, networking, and meeting room hardware/software across the entire Library Square complex, including the Aurora Public Library; and 4. That staff report back in September with an IT implementation status update, including service level agreements for the Aurora Public Library and Aurora Cultural Centre; and 5. That staff assume responsibility for all facility bookings across the entire Library Square complex, including the meeting spaces adjoining the Aurora Public Library, but not the remainder of the Library. Executive Summary This report makes recommendations regarding the delivery of IT services and space allocation responsibilities at Library Square and details the next steps to be taken to implement these recommendations.  Currently, the Aurora Public Library and 22 Church Street have separate networks, Wi-Fi, and IT support staff, which will pose various challenges once Library Square opens. Page 103 of 308 June 15, 2021 2 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022  To provide high quality customer service and operational efficiencies, the Town should assume responsibility for all aspects of the IT network for Library Square, including the Aurora Public Library.  An integrated IT network across the entire Library Square complex will provide numerous benefits and efficiencies for all parties.  To align with the construction schedule, Town IT staff should begin immediately to integrate the IT network across the entire Library Square complex.  The Town has the experience and expertise to assume responsibility for facility bookings at Library Square.  With Council approval, staff will make the necessary preparations to assume responsibility for facility bookings at Library Square. Background In June 2020, Council passed a resolution approving the Not-for-Profit/Municipal Hybrid Model as the governance model for the future operation of Library Square. Subsequently, staff formed three working groups dedicated to Space Allocation, Collaborative Programming, and Information Technology. Comprised of Town staff and representatives from the Library and the Aurora Cultural Centre, the purpose of these working groups was to develop strategies and build consensus regarding the optimal delivery of programming, integration of IT services, and venue management at Library Square. In November 2020, staff prepared a follow-up report updating Council on the efforts made by the working groups since June 2020. The report focused mostly on the progress made by the Collaborative Programming Working group, highlighting the guiding principles they developed to serve as the framework for program and service delivery within Library Square. These principles include: 1. Program and service delivery is a shared responsibility that can be understood as a pathway or continuum. Whenever possible, stakeholders will work together to design programs that engage participants from the beginner stage through to the professional level, with an emphasis on accessibility for all ages and abilities. Ideally, Library Square will offer a seamless progression of programs where Page 104 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022 participants can grow their knowledge base and develop their skills over the course of their lifetime. 2. Each stakeholder possesses a wealth of expertise and experience that can be drawn upon when developing programs. As partners in Library Square, it is important to consider if the competencies and capacity exist internally to assist in program delivery. Drawing upon our collective resources as a default position will lead to efficiencies in program delivery. 3. Duplication of programming is acceptable if stakeholders offer programs in a way that is complementary rather than competitive. 4. Given the dynamic nature of program and service delivery, and the ongoing need to collaborate, the Collaborative Programming Working Group will continue to meet over the next two (2) years leading up to the opening of Library Square and during its start-up period. Since November 2020, staff and key stakeholders have continued to meet to consider how best to implement the Not-for-Profit/Municipal Hybrid governance model. Whereas the previous report highlighted the progress made by the Collaborative Programming Working Group, the recommendations of this report focus on IT governance and space allocation responsibilities. Analysis Currently, the Aurora Public Library and 22 Church Street have separate networks, Wi-Fi, and IT support staff, which will pose various challenges once Library Square opens. At present, IT services at 22 Church Street are provided by the Town’s IT Division. Both the Aurora Museum & Archives and the Aurora Cultural Centre are connected to the Town’s Wide Area Network (WAN), and there is one network (wired and Wi-Fi) throughout the entire heritage schoolhouse. IT services at the Library, on the other hand, are provided independently from the Town using their own network and IT support staff. Although this arrangement works at present, once Library Square opens, it is important that the business units that make up the entire complex are not disjointed and isolated from one another, which could lead to a lack of collaboration and coordination between groups, resulting in inefficiencies, duplication and gaps in technology resources, skills, and capacity. Page 105 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022 To provide high quality customer service and operational efficiencies, the Town should assume responsibility for all aspects of the IT network for Library Square, including the Aurora Public Library. Library Square is an exciting project that will link the Town, the Cultural Centre, and the Library into one cohesive space. Given the importance of this project, it is vital that the Town provide integrated technology across the entire complex so that visitors can take advantage of an accessible Wi-Fi no matter what space they are in. Moreover, each of the meeting and programming rooms available to the Town, stakeholders, and user groups should provide common A/V hardware and software, unified access, and a single support contact. The solution is to join the Town’s IT network with the Library’s. This would require the Town to assume control of the Library IT Network Infrastructure, including all network switches, routers, network cabling, patch panels, and Wi-Fi access points. The network hardware would be replaced when needed based on the Town’s standards. An integrated IT network across the entire Library Square complex will provide numerous benefits and efficiencies for all parties. An integrated approach to technology will result in enhanced customer service, operational efficiency, and staff productivity. Additional benefits of this approach as identified by the Manager of IT include:  The Library would receive easy access to the Town’s system and cost savings as the Library could eliminate their Internet Service Provider (ISP)  Further cost savings to the Library as they would no longer need to purchase or maintain ethernet switches and associated network hardware  Offloading of major support areas from Library IT staff to Town IT staff and the centralization of support through the Town’s IT Department  Commonality of access and clear understanding of roles, responsibilities, and service level expectations for all stakeholders (i.e., who does what, and how it is done) that would be documented in a Service Level Agreement  Creation of a “trust relationship” between computer domains to facilitate ease of access and unified IT support structure for residents, user groups, and local businesses across all spaces that comprise Library Square  Standardized meeting room A/V hardware/software and simplified business processes to support efficiency and underpin digital customer service  In the future, the Library could also leverage the Town’s new telephony system, cybersecurity system, and current Microsoft365 tenant Page 106 of 308 June 15, 2021 5 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022 To align with the construction schedule, Town IT staff should begin immediately to integrate the IT network across the entire Library Square complex. With renovations to the Library underway, it is important that IT staff begin to integrate the IT network immediately so that the new spaces can be operational by the time the construction is complete. There will be a phased approach to the integration and the major steps are as follows: 1. Discovery 2. Architecture & Design 3. Procurement (if necessary) 4. Implementation The Town has the experience and expertise to assume responsibility for facility bookings at Library Square. Throughout the governance review process, a common message has been that the Town should obtain a degree of control over various aspects of day-to-day operations. Another prevailing message has been that as the Town collaborates with stakeholders to implement the Not-for-Profit/Municipal Hybrid Model, any duplication of services must be addressed. Furthermore, various processes must also be aligned with Town practices so that visitors receive a unified approach to customer service, parity in rates offered for programs and bookings, and consistent messaging and communication. Based on this analysis, staff believe that the Town is best suited to administer facility bookings for the Library Square complex, including 22 Church Street, the bridge, outdoor square, and the meeting rooms adjoining the Library. Benefits of this approach include:  Of all the stakeholders, the Town has the experience and expertise to provide this service most efficiently. The Business Support Division administers this service at other Town facilities and are positioned to extend this service to Library Square. Under this arrangement, Town staff would be responsible for coordinating and administering all facility permits/contracts and respond to enquiries from the public, staff, and community groups for the spaces identified to be within the Library Square complex. Existing programs and services currently provided by the Library and Cultural Centre will be accommodated from a space allocation perspective. Page 107 of 308 June 15, 2021 6 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022  Allows the Town to offset the municipality’s investment in Library Square via booking revenue of a Town-owned space; the Town would receive all booking revenue to offset operating expenses, which aligns with the principles of the Library Square Business Plan.  Reduces the potential for confusion, duplication, and uneven approaches to service and program delivery. Centralizing the facilities booking process through the Town would lead to a unified customer service experience and create alignment with permitting requirements at other Town facilities.  Ensures consistency in the allocation of all Town-owned spaces in accordance with Town allocation policies and procedures.  By removing the facility booking responsibility from the Aurora Cultural Centre for 22 Church Street, the Centre would be better able to focus resources on providing cultural programs and opportunities to the public. With Council approval, staff will make the necessary preparations to assume responsibility for facility bookings at Library Square. Over the next few months, staff will finalize the Year 1 (2023) programming schedule and bring forward a Space Allocation Policy for Library Square for approval in the Fall. The policy will provide transparency and structure for user groups and individuals pertaining to the fair allotment and use of interior and exterior space at Library Square. It will apply to all permit holders, including Library Square stakeholders, to ensure consistency in access and use of space in a fair and equitable manner. Staff will also present an organizational chart and fees schedule in the Fall that includes facility booking and programming rates for Library Square. Advisory Committee Review Not applicable. Legal Considerations If Council approves the recommendations, the Town will enter into an agreement with stakeholders to outline the roles and responsibilities relating to IT and facility booking services. Page 108 of 308 June 15, 2021 7 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022 Financial Implications There is sufficient capital budget authority available within the Library Square capital project to fund all initial investments required relating to the consolidation and installation of the Library Square’s IT services. Any savings recognized by the Aurora Public Library because of the IT network responsibility consolidation will be returned to the Town in support of the Library Square’s ongoing operating costs. Similarly, all Library Square room booking revenue generated by the Town will be allocated in support of the Library Square’s operations. Communications Considerations Should the approach be approved, the Town will communicate directly with affected stakeholders to ensure that there is clarity around roles and responsibilities. There will also be an internal communication component to ensure staff understand their role in this operating decision. There are no additional external communication considerations at this time. Link to Strategic Plan Library Square supports the following Strategic Plan goals and key objectives: Supporting an exceptional quality of life for all in its accomplishment in satisfying requirements in the following key objectives within these goal statements:  Invest in sustainable infrastructure  Celebrating and promoting our culture  Encourage an active and healthy lifestyle  Strengthening the fabric of our community Enabling a diverse, creative, and resilient economy in its accomplishment in satisfying requirements in the following key objectives within these goal statements:  Promoting economic opportunities that facilitate the growth of Aurora as a desirable place to do business Alternative(s) to the Recommendation 1. Council may provide further direction. Page 109 of 308 June 15, 2021 8 of 8 Report No. CMS21-022 Conclusions To provide high quality customer service and operational efficiencies, this report recommends that the Town assume responsibility for the IT network and facility booking responsibilities at Library Square. The report further recommends that staff should begin immediately to implement these changes and report back in September with an implementation status update.

That Report No. FIN21-029 be received; and 2. That the updated Development Charges Background Study report presented at the May 18, 2021 Special Meeting of Council be adopted; and 3. That the proposed amending Development Charges By-law, included with the updated Development Charges Background Study, be enacted on June 22, 2021. Executive Summary The intent of this report is to provide Council with a status report on the process to update the town’s Development Charges Study and bylaw to comply with the province’s recently updated Development Charges Act, 1997, S.O. 1997 (the “DCA”), provide updates as to the key changes made as they relate to the Town’s current DC study and bylaw, and to recommend an amending DC bylaw for its adoption. Some key considerations include:  The updates to Aurora’s current DC Study and Bylaw are needed to ensure continued compliance with recent legislative changes  A bylaw making the necessary amendments to the existing DC bylaw requires Council’s approval  The Development Charges Act provides an opportunity for members of the public to appeal the revised development charges bylaw Page 145 of 308 June 15, 2021 2 of 7 Report No. FIN21-029 Background On September 18, 2020, the province approved an updated DCA and accompanying regulations On June 6, 2019, Bill 108 “More Homes, More Choices Act, 2019” received Royal Assent. The Act proposed changes to the Development Charges Act and Planning Act. On December 10, 2019, Bill 138 “Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019” received Royal Assent, introducing modifications to Bill 108. In recognition that the town would need to update its development charge study and bylaw as result of this legislation change, Council approved a capital project for the engagement of a consultant as part of Aurora’s 2020 capital budget. This engagement is now well underway with one of its key products being an updated DC Study and by- law being tabled this evening. On December 20, 2019, Bill 108 and 138’s complimentary Ontario Regulation (O.Reg) 454/19 under the DC Act was filed by the province which specified the definition of Institutional, Non-profit, and Rental developments. This regulation addressed the following key Bill 108/138 provisions which came into force on January 1, 2020 are:  For all developments, the amount of DCs payable is determined and frozen on the day a site plan application or Zoning bylaw amendment application is submitted, as provided for in Section 26.2(1) of the DC Act.  On the date on which the application is deemed complete by the Planning and Development department as per the Planning Act, a two-year period begins.  DCs payable for building permits issued within the two-year period will be charged at the frozen rate determined on the day of site plan application or Zoning bylaw amendment submission.  DCs payable for building permits issued after the two-year period will be updated to the prevailing rate and bylaw at the time of the building permit issuance.  Residential, Commercial, and Industrial developments will continue to pay full amount of DCs owing at the time of building permit issuance.  For Institutional, Non-profit, and Rental developments, the Town can charge interest on the DCs payable on the application completion date, as permitted under Sections 26.1(7) of the DC Act. The Province has not prescribed any restrictions on the interest rate and policy. DC payments will commence at the earlier of date of Occupancy Permit Issuance or Date of Occupancy: Page 146 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 7 Report No. FIN21-029 o For Institutional and Rental developments, DC is payable in six equal annual instalments over five years. o For Non-profit developments, DC is payable in 21 equal annual instalments over 20 years. Of note is this regulation’s allowance for non-profit developments such as Habitat for Humanity to obtain relief from development charges through entering into an agreement to repay any amounts owing for up to 20 years. In response to Ontario Regulation 454/19, on April 28, 2020 Council approved a series of changes to the Town’s development charge administration procedures. Bill 197 “Covid-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020” was given first reading by the Ontario Government on July 8, 2020. This Bill was introduced to amend Bill 108/138 that were previously prescribed. Bill 197 received Royal Assent on July 21, 2020. Its complimentary regulation was approved on September 18, 2020. Analysis The updates to the Aurora’s current DC Study and Bylaw are needed to ensure continued compliance with recent legislative changes The recent DCA update and its accompanying regulation made multiple changes which required Aurora to update its DC Study and Bylaw. As of September 18, 2022, of the town’s previously eligible services, Municipal Parking will no longer be eligible for cost recovery under the DCA. Of the remaining eligible services, the recent legislation changes have removed the mandatory 10 percent deduction for the following services:  Outdoor Recreation  Indoor Recreation  Library Services  General Government  Municipal Parking (eligible until September 18, 2022) In addition, the updated act allows for the establishment of classes of services. A service class may be composed of any number or combination of eligible services and/or may include parts or portions of eligible services. Under the update DCA, a DC bylaw may include a service class consisting of studies in respect of any eligible services whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of s. 5 of the DCA. A Page 147 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 7 Report No. FIN21-029 class of service set out in the DC bylaw is deemed to be a single service with respect to reserve funds, use of monies, and credits. The town’s updated DC Study and bylaw now include General Government (Studies) as a class of services. These legislative changes also include additional mandatory DC exemptions that have been added to the town’s updated DC Bylaw being:  Added dwelling unit in new residential buildings, and  Development of land intended for use by a university that receives operating funds from the government. One other legislative change of note that has been integrated into Aurora’s updated DC Study and bylaw is the consolidation of the previous Outdoor and Indoor Recreation DC eligible services into a single Parks & Recreation Service. A bylaw making the necessary amendments to the existing DC bylaw requires Council’s approval The attached bylaw amending the Town of Aurora existing DC bylaw that is proposed for adoption reflects the above noted legislative changes. Schedule “B” to this bylaw outlines the Town’s new DC charge rates. This proposed bylaw can be found in Attachment #2 to this report. The Development Charges Act provides an opportunity for members of the public to appeal the revised development charges bylaw The Development Charges Act provides a mechanism for members of the public to appeal the revised development charges bylaw to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT) within 40 days following adoption by the Council. The LPAT then hears and makes final decision on the matter. However, until the decision of the LPAT is issued, the adopted bylaw remains in effect, and development charges as set out therein remain due and payable. Advisory Committee Review None Page 148 of 308 June 15, 2021 5 of 7 Report No. FIN21-029 Legal Considerations As per the Development Charges Act, 1997, the town must have an active DC Bylaw in place that is compliant with the DCA to enable the town’s legal capability to collect development charges. Financial Implications All development charge funds collected are held in dedicated reserve funds until required for infrastructure investment. Development charges are the Province of Ontario’s funding tool for municipalities to collect revenues for the funding of the necessary expansion of town infrastructure and amenities to maintain existing town service levels as it strives to meet the services demands of the growing community. All funds collected must remain segregated and used for only the purposes of projects eligible under the DCA. Table 1 presents a comparison of the current by-law’s residential singles/semi indexed rate as of January 1, 2021 to its updated DC Study and bylaw rate. A comparison of the current and updated non-residential DC Rates can be found under Table 2. Overall, the updated DC study and bylaw result in an average residential development DC rate increase of 5.4% and a non-residential DC rate increase 1.4%.

York Region and educational development charges are also applied. Communications Considerations This report will be made available on the Town’s website for the public. In addition, as per Schedule 2 (s. 13 and O. Reg 82/98 s.10 (5)), the Town will provide notice to the public within 20 days of the passing of the Town’s revised development charge bylaw. This notification will be done by publication in a newspaper that is, in the clerk’s opinion, of sufficient general circulation in the area to which the proposed bylaw would apply to give the public reasonable notice of the passing of the Town’s new bylaw. Notice will also be given by personal service, fax or mail to:  everyone who has given the municipal clerk a written request for notice and - provided a return address,  the clerk of the upper tier municipality involved, and  the secretary of every school board with jurisdiction within the area to which the by-law applies Finally, notification will be made via the Town’s website and other social media channels. Link to Strategic Plan Setting a DCA compliant Development Charge bylaw is the primary tool with which Ontario municipalities can finance the cost of expanding infrastructure and service amenities to accommodate growth demands in their communities. Optimizing the charge within the permissions of the legislation demonstrates the Strategic Plan principles of Leadership in Corporate Management. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation 1. Council may direct staff to make any changes to the draft bylaw as long as it remains compliant with the new DCA and its accompanying regulation, or to respond to any specific concerns or issues raised by members of the public at the meeting. Page 150 of 308 June 15, 2021 7 of 7 Report No. FIN21-029 Conclusions Staff recommend that the updated Development Charges Background Study be received, and the accompanying proposed DC By-law amendments be adopted, to take effect on June 22, 2021.

Introduction 1.1 Background The Town of Aurora imposes development charges (D.C.) to recover capital costs arising from the increase in needs for services related to growth. The Town currently has a Town-wide D.C. for services related to a highway, fire protection services, municipal parking, outdoor recreation, indoor recreation, library services, general government, water services, and wastewater services. The basis for these D.C.s is documented in the “Town of Aurora Development Charges Background Study” dated January 24, 2019, which provided the supporting documentation for By-law 6166-19. The D.C.s came into effect March 26, 2019. The Town’s D.C.s have been indexed (in accordance with section 5.1 of the by-law) semi-annually on January 1st and July 1st and are currently 5.81% higher than the 2019 rates implemented under By-law 6166-19. The 2019 D.C.s (unindexed) are shown in Figure 1-1. The purpose of this report is to update the current D.C. by-law in order to meet the requirements of the Development Charges Act (D.C.A.), as amended by Bill 108 (More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019), Bill 138 (Plan to Build Ontario Act, 2019), Bill 197 (COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020), and Bill 213 (Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2020). A full discussion on the amending legislation is provided in chapter 2. A summary of the changes contained in this D.C. Update are provided below: x The legislation has removed the mandatory deduction for all services that remain eligible in the D.C. For the Town, the 10% deduction may be removed for the following services: o Municipal Parking; o Parks and Recreation (Outdoor and Indoor Recreation); o Library Services; and o General Government (Studies). x The listing of eligible services has been changed by the amending legislation: Attachment #1 Page 157 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 1-2 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx o For the Town, Municipal Parking will no longer be an eligible service as of September 18, 2022 (the end of the transition period provided by the amending legislation). The amendments to the D.C. by-law will reflect this change. o For the Town’s Outdoor and Indoor Recreation, the changes to the D.C. eligible services under Bill 197 have combined these two services into a single Parks and Recreation service. x An additional change brought forth through Bill-197 related to establishing classes of services. A class of service may be composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions of each D.C.-eligible service. As a result of these changes to the D.C.A., this addendum report provides for General Government (Studies) as a class of services. Further discussion on classes of services is provided in chapter 2. x The regulations have provided for the following additional mandatory D.C. exemptions to be added to the Town’s D.C. by-law: o Added dwelling unit in new residential buildings; and o Development of land intended for use by a university that receives operating funds from the Government. x Further changes related to the timing of payments for rental housing, institutional and non-profit development were proclaimed through Bill 108. Additionally, the D.C. amount for all developments occurring within 2 years of a Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment planning approval, shall be determined based on the D.C. in effect on the day of Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment application. If the development is not proceeding via these planning approvals, then the amount is determined as the earlier of the date of issuance of a building permit or occupancy. These changes will be addressed in the amending by-law, discussed in Chapter 5 and provided in Appendix C.

Legislation Attachment #1 Page 162 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 2-1 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx 2. Changes to the D.C.A. Legislation 2.1 Bill 108 –More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019 On May 2, 2019, the Province introduced Bill 108, which proposed changes to the D.C.A. The Bill has been introduced as part of the Province’s “More Homes, More Choice: Ontario's Housing Supply Action Plan”.The Bill received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019. While having received Royal Assent, many of the amendments to the D.C.A. would not come into effect until they are proclaimed by the Lieutenant Governor (many of these changes were revised through Bill 197). At the time of writing, the following provisions have been proclaimed: x Effective January 1, 2020, rental housing and institutional developments will pay D.C.s in six equal annual payments commencing at occupancy. Non-profit housing developments will pay D.C.s in 21 equal annual payments. Interest may be charged on the instalments, and any unpaid amounts may be added to the property and collected as taxes. x Effective January 1, 2020 the D.C. amount for all developments occurring within 2 years of a Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment planning approval (for application submitted after this section is proclaimed), shall be determined based on the D.C. in effect on the day of Site Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment application. If the development is not proceeding via these planning approvals, then the amount is determined the earlier of the date of issuance of a building permit or occupancy. On February 28, 2020, the Province released updated draft regulations related to the D.C.A. and the Planning Act. A summary of these changes is provided below: Changes to Eligible Services –Prior to Bill 108, the D.C.A. provided a list of ineligible services whereby municipalities could include growth related costs for any service that was not listed. With Bill 108, the changes to the D.C.A. would now specifically list the services that are eligible for inclusion in the by-law. Further, the initial list of eligible services under Bill 108 was limited to “hard services”, with the “soft services” being removed from the D.C.A. These services would be considered as part of a new Attachment #1 Page 163 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 2-2 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx community benefits charge (discussed below) imposed under the Planning Act. As noted in the next section this list of services has been amended through Bill 197. Mandatory 10% deduction –The amending legislation would remove the mandatory 10% deduction for all services that remain eligible under the D.C.A. Remaining Services to be Included in a New Community Benefits Charge (C.B.C.) Under the Planning Act –It is proposed that a municipality may, by by-law, impose a C.B.C. against land to pay for the capital costs of facilities, services and matters required because of development or redevelopment in the area to which the by-law applies. The C.B.C. is proposed to include formerly eligible D.C. services (as noted below), in addition to parkland dedication and other types of cost formerly recovered under Section 37 of the Planning Act. 2.2 Bill 138 –Plan to Build Ontario Together Act, 2019 On November 6, 2019, the Province released Bill 138 which provided further amendments to the D.C.A. and Planning Act. This Bill received Royal Assent on December 10, 2019 and was proclaimed which resulted in sections related to the D.C.A. (schedule 10) becoming effective on January 1, 2020. The amendments to the D.C.A. included removal of instalment payments for commercial and industrial developments that were originally included in Bill 108. 2.3 Bill 197 –COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020 In response to the global pandemic that began affecting Ontario in early 2020, the Province released Bill 197 which provided amendments to a number of Acts, including the D.C.A. and Planning Act. This Bill also revised some of the proposed changes identified in Bill 108. Bill 197 was tabled on July 8, 2020, received Royal Assent on July 21, 2020, and was proclaimed on September 18, 2020. The following provides a summary of the changes: Attachment #1 Page 164 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 2-3 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx 2.3.1 D.C. Related Changes List of D.C. Eligible Services x As noted above, under Bill 108 some services were to be included under the D.C.A. and some would be included under the C.B.C. authority. However, Bill 197 revised this proposed change and has included all services (with some exceptions) under the D.C.A. These services are as follows: o Water supply services, including distribution and treatment services. o Wastewater services, including sewers and treatment services. o Storm water drainage and control services. o Services related to a highway. o Electrical power services. o Toronto-York subway extension. o Transit services. o Waste diversion services. o Policing services. o Fire protection services. o Ambulance services. o Library services o Long-term Care services o Parks and Recreation services, but not the acquisition of land for parks. o Public Health services o Childcare and early years services. o Housing services. o Provincial Offences Act services. o Services related to emergency preparedness. o Services related to airports, but only in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo. o Additional services as prescribed. Classes of Services –D.C. Pre-Bill 108/197 legislation (i.e. D.C.A., 1997) allowed for categories of services to be grouped together into a minimum of two categories (90% and 100% services). Attachment #1 Page 165 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 2-4 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx The amending legislation repealed and replaced the above with the four following subsections: x A D.C. by-law may provide for any eligible service or capital cost related to any eligible service to be included in a class, set out in the by-law. x A class may be composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions of the eligible services or parts or portions of the capital costs in respect of those services. x A D.C. by-law may provide for a class consisting of studies in respect of any eligible service whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of s. 5 of the D.C.A. x A class of service set out in the D.C. by-law is deemed to be a single service with respect to reserve funds, use of monies, and credits. As well, the removal of 10% deduction for soft services under Bill 108 has been maintained. 10-Year Planning Horizon x The “maximum” 10-year planning horizon has been removed for all services except transit. 2.3.2 Community Benefit Charges (C.B.C.) While a Community Benefit Charge is not being considered within this report, a summary of the legislated changes is provided herein for information purposes. C.B.C. Eligibility x The C.B.C. is limited to lower-tier and single tier municipalities, whereas upper- tier municipalities will not be allowed to impose this charge. x O.Reg. 509/20 was filed on September 18, 2020. This regulation provides for the following: o A maximum rate will be set as a percentage of the market value of the land the day before building permit issuance. The maximum rate is set at 4%. The C.B.C may only be imposed on developing or redeveloping buildings which have a minimum height of five stories and contain no less than 10 residential units. Attachment #1 Page 166 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 2-5 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx o Bill 197 states that before passing a C.B.C. by-law, the municipality shall prepare a C.B.C. strategy that (a) identifies the facilities, services and matters that will be funded with C.B.C.s; and (b) complies with any prescribed requirements. o Only one C.B.C. by-law may be in effect in a local municipality at a time. 2.3.3 Combined D.C. and C.B.C.

Study Attachment #1 Page 171 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 4-1 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx 4. Updates to the Town’s D.C. Study As noted earlier, the Town’s D.C.By-law 6166-19 came into effect on March 26, 2019, being a by-law for the purposes of establishing and collecting a D.C. in accordance with the provisions of the D.C.A. The 2019 D.C. Background Study and by-law identified anticipated capital needs for recovery through D.C.s for Town-wide services. This chapter of the report discusses the removal of the 10% mandatory deduction for municipal parking, parks and recreation, library services, and General Government (Studies). A discussion is also provided on the classification of General Government (Studies) as a class of services.As these projects are being added as part of the 2019 D.C. Background Study, the capital costs are being presented in 2019 dollars. As part of a D.C. amendment, consideration must be given to the historical service level calculation to ensure that the service level ceiling has not been exceeded in the updated calculations. These calculations have been undertaken and are included in Appendix B to this report. No service level has been exceeded by the calculations provided herein. 4.1 Municipal Parking Given the change to the D.C.A. through Bill 197, the mandatory 10% deduction has been removed from D.C.-eligible services. Note: although municipal parking will become an ineligible service under the D.C.A as of September 18, 2022, the Town is eligible to collect D.C.s for this service until that date (this will be highlighted in the updated by-law). Figure 4-1 provides the updated capital project listing with the removal of the mandatory deduction. This provides for a D.C.-eligible amount of $60,535. In addition, an examination of the updated service standards has been undertaken as per section 5(1)4 of the D.C.A. The service standard for parking provides a D.C. level of service ceiling of $230,800,which is well in excess of the growth-related capital needs and hence, no further adjustments are required. The service standard is provided in Appendix B. Based on the Town’s 2019 D.C. study, the costs allocated between residential and non- residential development based on the ratio of future anticipated population and Attachment #1 Page 172 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 4-2 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx employment are 67% residential and 33% non-residential over the 10-year forecast period.

The capital costs included for Parks and Recreation have been modified to remove the mandatory 10% deduction. Figures 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4 provide the updated capital project listings with the removal of the 10% deduction. In addition, an adjustment has been made to the capital program of $183,390 to recognize the change to the service standard ceiling. This deduction is required to ensure that the capital costs do not exceed the service standard. Therefore, the total D.C. eligible amount being included in the calculations is $53.40 million. Based on the Town’s 2019 D.C. study, as the predominant users of parks and recreation tend to be residents of the Town, the forecasted growth-related costs have been allocated 95% to residential and 5% to non-residential.

Figures 4-5 and 4-6 provide the capital project listing with the removal of the mandatory deduction. The details regarding the updated service standards are provided in Appendix B. The resulting service standards for Library provide a D.C. ceiling of $7.68 million. Given that the capital program is $5.57 million, the D.C.-eligible capital amounts are within the level of service ceiling. Based on the Town’s 2019 D.C. study, the growth-related capital costs have been allocated 95% residential and 5% non-residential. This is to acknowledge that although library usage is predominantly residential based, there is some use of the facilities by non-residential users.

A class of service may be composed of any number or combination of services and may include parts or portions of each D.C.-eligible service. Section 7 of the D.C.A. states that a D.C. by-law may provide for any D.C.-eligible service or the capital costs with respect to those services. These provisions allow for services to be grouped together to create a class for the purposes of the D.C. by-law and D.C. reserve funds. In addition, Section 7(3) of the D.C.A. states that: “For greater certainty, a development charge by-law may provide for a class consisting of studies in respect of any service listed in subsection 2 (4) whose capital costs are described in paragraphs 5 and 6 of subsection 5 (3).” As a result of these changes to the D.C.A., this update study provides for General Government (Studies) to be categorized as a class of services. General Government (Studies) is comprised of the following services: x Services Related to a Highway; x Water Supply and Distribution Services; x Wastewater Services; x Fire Protection Services; x Parks and Recreation; and x Library Services. Figure 4-7 depicts how the costs of capital projects are allocated across the services. For planning related studies, a deduction of 10% has been applied to recognize the extent to which the studies relate to non-D.C.-eligible services. All planning studies have been allocated to the class of services in the following manner: x Services Related to a Highway –25% x Water Supply and Distribution Services –25% x Wastewater Services –25% x Fire Protection Services –10% x Parks and Recreation –10% Attachment #1 Page 182 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE 4-12 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx x Library Services –5% With respect to the capital cost of D.C. background studies, they have been allocated across the different services based on the proportion of the total net growth-related capital costs. The following provides a breakdown of the allocation of D.C. background studies to each service: x Services Related to a Highway –52.3% x Water Supply and Distribution Services –20.1% x Wastewater Services –13.3% x Fire Protection Services –4.4%% x Parks and Recreation –9.0% x Library Services –0.9% In addition to the classification as a class of service, the mandatory 10% deduction has been removed for non-planning related studies.

By-law Revised Schedule of Charges 4.5.1 Updated D.C. Calculation (2019$) Figure 4-8 provides the calculations to the proposed D.C. to be imposed on anticipated development in the Town for Town-wide services over the 10-year forecast period based on the changes described earlier in this chapter. For the residential calculations, the total cost is divided by the “gross” (new resident) population to determine the per capita amount. The eligible D.C. cost calculations set out in Figures 4-1 to 4-7 are based on the net anticipated population increase (the forecast new unit population less the anticipated decline in existing units). The cost per capita is then multiplied by the average occupancy of the new units to calculate the charge in Figure 4-8. With respect to non-residential development, the total costs in the uniform charge allocated to non-residential development (based on need for service) have been divided by the anticipated development over the planning period to calculate a cost per sq.ft. of gross floor area.

By-law As summarized in Chapter 2, the D.C. by-law will require several updates to conform with the D.C.A., as amended. With respect to the “Time of Payment of Development Charges”section of the by-law, the following refinements are to be included: x Six equal annual D.C. payments commencing at occupancy for rental housing and institutional developments; x Non-profit housing developments will be allowed to pay their D.C.s in 21 equal annual payments; and x The D.C. amount for all developments occurring within 2 years of a site plan or zoning by-law amendment planning approval (for applications submitted after January 1, 2020) shall be determined based on the D.C. in effect on the day of the site plan or zoning by-law amendment application. Installment payments and payments determined at the time of site plan or zoning by-law amendment application are subject to annual interest charges. The setting of the interest rate has been discussed with Town staff and will be calculated based on the Town’s D.C. Interest Policy. This will be presented to Council for consideration under a separate staff report. For the purposes of administering the by-law, the following definitions are provided as per O. Reg. 454-19: “Rental housing” means development of a building or structure with four or more dwelling units all of which are intended for use as rented residential premises. “Institutional development” means development of a building or structure intended for use, a) as a long-term care home within the meaning of subsection 2 (1) of the Long- Term Care Homes Act, 2007; b) as a retirement home within the meaning of subsection 2 (1) of the Retirement Homes Act, 2010; c) by any of the following post-secondary institutions for the objects of the institution: Attachment #1 Page 194 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

In addition to the changes provided above, the following definition for “Class” will be provided: “Class” means a grouping of services combined to create a single service for the purposes of this by-law and as provided in section 7 of the Development Charges Act. With respect to exemptions, the following will be included as per O.

The following exemption will be included as per Bill 213: x Land vested in or leased to a university that receives regular and ongoing operating funds from the government for the purposes of post-secondary education is exempt from development charges imposed under the Development Charges Act, 1997 if the development in respect of which development charges would otherwise be payable is intended to be occupied and used by the university. As presented earlier, the D.C. for the Municipal Parking service will cease to be recoverable as of September 18, 2022. As such, changes to Schedule B have been made to identify the charges to be imposed pre and post September 18, 2022. Attachment #1 Page 196 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.

Recommendations It is recommended that Council: “Approve the Development Charges Update Study dated April 22, 2021, as amended (if applicable)"; “Approve the updated capital projects set out in Chapter 4 of the Development Charges Update Study dated April 22, 2021”; “Determine that no further public meeting is required”; and “Approve the Amending Development Charge By-law as set out in Appendix C”. Attachment #1 Page 198 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE A-1 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx Appendix A Existing Policies under By-law 6166-19 Attachment #1 Page 199 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE A-2 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx Appendix A: Existing Policies under By-law 6166-19 The following subsections set out the rules governing the calculation, payment and collection of D.C.s as provided in By-law 6166-19, in accordance with the D.C.A. Approvals for Development In accordance with the D.C.A., the D.C. shall be calculated, payable and collected where the development requires one or more of the following: a) the passing of a zoning by-law or of an amendment to a zoning by-law under section 34 of the Planning Act; b) the approval of a minor variance under section 45 of the Planning Act; c) a conveyance of land to which a by-law passed under section 50 (7) of the Planning Act applies; d) the approval of a plan of subdivision under section 51 of the Planning Act; e) a consent under section 53 of the Planning Act; f) the approval of a description under section 50 of the Condominium Act; g) the issuing of a building permit under the Building Code Act in relation to a building. Determination of the Amount of the Charge The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is based upon different forms of housing types (single and semi-detached, apartments with two or more bedrooms, one bedroom apartments and bachelors, other multiples, and special care/special dwelling units). The total cost is divided by the “gross” (new resident) population to determine the per capita amount. The eligible D.C. cost calculations are based on the net anticipated population increase (the forecast new unit population less the anticipated decline in existing units). This approach acknowledges that service capacity will be “freed up” by the population decline in existing units. The cost per capita is then multiplied by the average occupancy of the new units to calculate the charges by type of residential dwelling unit. The non-residential D.C. has been calculated based on a per square foot of gross floor area basis. Attachment #1 Page 200 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE A-3 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx Application for Land Redevelopment If a development involves the demolition of and replacement of a building or structure on the same site, or the conversion from one principal use to another, the developer shall be allowed a credit equivalent to: 1) the number of dwelling units demolished/converted multiplied by the applicable residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable; and/or 2) the gross floor area of the building demolished/converted multiplied by the current non-residential D.C. in place at the time the D.C. is payable. The demolition credit is allowed only if the land was improved by occupied structures and if the demolition permit related to the site was issued less than four (4) years prior to the issuance of a building permit. The credit can, in no case, exceed the amount of D.C.s that would otherwise be payable. Exemptions (full or partial) The following are exempted from D.C.s: a) Statutory exemptions x industrial building additions of up to and including 50% of the existing gross floor area (defined in O.Reg. 82/98, s.1) of the building; for industrial building additions which exceed 50% of the existing gross floor area, only the portion of the addition in excess of 50% is subject to D.C.s (s.4(3)) of the D.C.A.; x buildings or structures owned by and used for the purposes of any municipality, local board or Board of Education (s.3); x residential development that results only in the enlargement of an existing dwelling unit, or that results only in the creation of up to two additional dwelling units (based on prescribed limits set out in s.2 of O.Reg. 82/98). b) Non-statutory exemptions x Land owned by and used for the purposes of a private school; x Lands, buildings, or structures to be used for the purposes of a cemetery, churchyard, or burial ground; Attachment #1 Page 201 of 308 Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.PAGE A-4 H:\Aurora\2021 DC and Parkland\Report\Aurora DC Update Study.docx x Places of worship; x Non-residential uses permitted pursuant to Section 39 of the Planning Act or any successor thereto; x The issuance of a building permit not resulting in the creation of additional gross floor area; x Agricultural uses; and x A public hospital. Indexing The D.C.s imposed shall be adjusted semi-annually in accordance with the Statistics Canada Non-Residential Building Construction Price Index for the most recent year over year period, every January 1st and July 1st, without amendment to the by-law. By-law Duration The by-law will expire on March 26, 2024, unless it is repealed by Council at an earlier date. Timing of D.C. Payments A D.C. that is applicable under Section 5 of the D.C.A. shall be calculated and payable: x where a permit is required under the Building Code Act in relation to a building or structure, the owner shall pay the D.C. prior to the issuance of a permit of prior to the commencement of development or redevelopment as the case may be; and x despite the above, Council, from time to time and at any time, may enter into agreements providing for all or any part of a D.C. to be paid before or after it would otherwise be payable.

That Report No. FIN21-031 be received for information. Executive Summary This report presents the year end financial performance of the Town of Aurora tax levy and user rate funded operations. In addition, information is provided on the disposition of the tax funded operating surplus, as well as the management of the user rate funded net operating surplus in accordance with the 2020 Surplus Control By-law 6282-20.  The Town’s tax levy funded operations budget ended the year with a surplus of $852,400  Water, wastewater and storm water operations closed the fiscal year with an operating surplus of $85,600  The Town was successful in mitigating most of its COVID-19 financial pressures in 2020  The surplus control bylaw authorizes the CAO and Treasurer to allocate portions of a yearend surplus to specific reserve accounts Background To keep Council informed as to the financial status of the operating budget, Council was presented with interim forecast updates over the course of 2020. This report includes the yearend results now that the external audit is substantially complete. Page 244 of 308 June 15, 2021 2 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 On March 20th the Town of Aurora announced financial relief measures which included the deferral of its second tax levy installment payment due date by approximately two months for residential taxpayers. A similar offer was made available to commercial taxpayers on an application basis. On March 20th the Town of Aurora announced the waiving of all late payment penalties on any unpaid water bill amounts owing until June 30, 2020. On April 28th, staff presented Council with its first projection of the possible financial impacts to the Town that were directly related to COVID-19. This forecast assumed the status quo at that time continued for the rest of 2020. On May 26th Council extended the waiving of all late payment penalties on any unpaid water bill amounts owing until the end of the calendar year. On June 16th Council approved ‘break-even’ rates for the Town’s water and wastewater services. These ‘break-even’ rates adjusted the originally approved 2020 rates to reflect anticipated savings on wholesale water and wastewater treatment costs stemming from a York Region decision to maintain its 2019 rates. Over the course of 2020 the province announced that the Town of Aurora will receive a total of $3.6 million in Safe Restart grant funding in support of its resultant COVID-19 pressures. The auditors will present the 2020 draft financial statements to the Audit Committee on June 22nd for review and approval. It should be noted that these audited financial statements are presented in a format consistent with the Public Sector Accounting Standards (PSAS), whereas this report is presented in a format consistent with the “traditional balanced municipal budget” approach. Analysis The Town’s tax levy funded operations budget ended the year with a surplus of $852,400 Actual total expenditures for 2020 were $69,445,740 which was 3.42 percent or $2,460,790 under the established budget of $71,906,530. Total 2020 revenues (including the $50,018,000 tax levy) were $70,298,130 which was 2.23 percent or $1,608,400 lower than the $71,906,530 budgeted for total revenue. These two variances result in a net $852,400 surplus. Of this surplus, a net loss of $214,600 relating to COVID-19 is included. Page 245 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 The most significant non-COVID contributors to the Town’s reported year end surplus relate to higher-than-expected development driven revenues, salary and contract savings. The COVID-19 driven financial impacts experienced will be expanded upon later in this report. The following identifies the 2020 yearend variances by department: CAO and Council Council and the Office of the CAO budgets ended 2020 with a surplus of $212,000 on a net operating budget of $1,950,700. This surplus mostly relates to COVID-19 driven sponsorship grants, committee and conference savings, as well as favourable consulting and advertising variances and savings in promotion and events materials. Corporate Services Corporate Services ended 2020 with a deficit of $21,500 on a total net operating budget of $8,726,800. This deficit is mostly attributable to higher than anticipated outside legal and heritage consultant fees relating to the Yonge Street heritage appeals that have been partially offset by COVID-19 driven salary savings arising from the delay of all new staffing actions. The deficit also relates to decreased Bylaw license and parking violation revenues. Finance Finance ended 2020 with a surplus of $72,600 on a net operating budget of $2,061,600. This surplus is the result of COVID-19 driven salary savings arising from the delay of all new staffing, offset by reduced water and tax administrative revenues as a result of COVID-19. Fire Services Fire services ended the year with a $6,000 surplus. This savings results from snow removal services that are provided by the Town for CYFS facilities in Aurora. Aurora’s cost for managing Central York Fire Services (CYFS) is shared with the Town of Newmarket and the cost is allocated based on the approved budget. Any surplus or deficit reported by CYFS is managed through their own reserves and does not show as a variance for Aurora. Page 246 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 Operational Services Operational Services, excluding water, wastewater & storm water services, ended 2020 with a surplus of $247,400 on a net operating budget of $10,479,700. Key contributors to this surplus are COVID-19 driven salary and contract savings relating to Park Operations and Crossing Guard services. This surplus is also attributable to savings experienced from fleet management repair and operating materials as well as, from solid waste collection contracts. These favourable variances are partially offset by an unfavourable variance in winter management resulting from larger than anticipated contract, operating material and salary costs arising from a larger number of snow events at the beginning of 2020 and reduced ball diamond/soccer field revenues due to COVID-19. As per the Town’s winter control reserve policy, if the overall Town operating budget was unable to accommodate the full reported winter management deficit, any required funding shortfall can be drawn from this reserve. As the Town’s overall position is in a surplus and sufficient funds are available to offset this shortfall, a draw from the winter control reserve is not necessary for 2020. Salaries and wages are split between the tax levy and user rate (water, wastewater & storm water services) funded programs. In any given year, the exact extent of operational service staff support of tax levy or rate funded programs is difficult to accurately predict as such some variability is not unusual. Overall, the department’s salaries and benefits for tax supported programs finished the year under budget by $173,300. This is mainly due to the reduced hiring of seasonal staff within the Parks division because of COVID-19 and a salary surplus of $144,200 relating to a lower than budgeted amount of staff’s time being spent on rate funded programs. Community Services Community Services ended 2020 with a $161,600 deficit on a net operating budget of $9,592,300. The key contributors to this deficit all relate to COVID-19 drivers including lost community program, sponsorship/advertising, ice rental and special event revenues partially offset by salary and contract savings. These unfavourable variances are further offset by net facility operation utility/heating, contract, and operating material savings. Library Square savings were recognized relating to the implementation of the Town’s financial strategy to phase in its projected incremental operating costs prior to it becoming fully operational in 2022. These surplus funds were contributed to the Town’s tax rate stabilization reserve as per the 2020 surplus control bylaw. These funds can be Page 247 of 308 June 15, 2021 5 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 drawn upon as required in future years to manage any Library Square one-time implementation/start-up operating costs. Planning & Development Services Planning & Development Services ended 2020 with a surplus of $679,500. This surplus is mostly attributable to higher than anticipated development driven engineering revenues and vacant position savings being partially attributable to COVID-19. These salary savings are partly offset by a reduction in other planned development revenues resulting from the pandemic. Not included in this variance is a Building Services’ surplus of $346,500 as it is a self- funded function as per provincial legislation. If it is unable to recognize sufficient revenues to offset its expenses in a given fiscal year, it will draw from its dedicated reserve to balance its operating budget. If it recognizes excess revenues, these revenues are used to replenish its reserve. This year’s forecasted surplus results from vacant position salary savings, offset by a slight reduction in revenue. Corporate Revenues & Expenses Corporate Revenues and Expenses ended 2020 with a deficit of $181,900 on a net operating budget of $4,798,800. The primary drivers of this deficit are forecasted tax penalty and investment income revenue losses resulting from COVID-19. These losses are partially offset by other unplanned grant revenues. Aurora Public Library Contribution The Aurora Public Library experienced a surplus of $622,700 from a total approved net operating budget of $3,868,100, mostly attributable to salary savings due to COVID-19. As per the Library Board’s direction, this surplus was returned to the Town in support of its COVID pressures. Operating Summary Overall, the Town of Aurora tax levy funded operations ended the year with a surplus of $852,400 with no noticeable adverse impacts to service levels. Under the guidelines as presented in the Surplus/Deficit Control By-law, as the rate stabilization reserve balance has reached its maximum ceiling of ten percent of the tax levy, the CAO and Treasurer have approved a contribution of this equivalent amount across the Town’s tax funded reserves. The final net tax levy funded operations results can be found in Attachment 1. Page 248 of 308 June 15, 2021 6 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 Water, wastewater and storm water operations closed the fiscal year with an operating surplus of $85,600 The user rate funded operations service line budgets include primarily fixed operational costs, funded by the net proceeds from the sale of water, wastewater and storm water services. These fixed operational costs include staff and service maintenance costs related to maintaining the infrastructure systems, water quality testing, and the billing and customer service functions. These costs are not directly impacted by the volume of water flowing through the system. The fixed costs relating to water and wastewater are funded from the net revenues earned by these services which are variable in nature since they are based upon metered water consumption volumes. Storm water revenues are not subject to the same volatility as the water and wastewater service lines as it is billed on a flat fee basis. The Town’s user rate funded operations ended 2020 with a surplus $85,600. This variance is mostly attributable to a favourable variance of $245,900 from water and wastewater services arising from COVID-19 driven salary and contract savings partially offset by reduced retail and water penalty revenues. This variance is further offset by a deficit of $160,300 experienced by storm water services resulting from a revenue shortfall due to an understatement of 2020 storm water rates because of a calculation error. There was no negative impact to the Town’s delivery of these services because of any COVID-19 driven mitigation savings. Overall user rate funded operations experienced a surplus of $85,600 which was brought to a balanced budget at year end through a draws to and from each respective user rate reserve as per the Town’s 2020 surplus control bylaw. The Final Net User Rate Funded Operations Results can be found in Attachment 2. The Town was successful in mitigating most of its COVID-19 financial pressures in 2020 COVID-19 had a significant financial impact on the Town. The pandemic caused significant revenue losses of $4,048,100 and $395,500 from tax levy and rate funded operations, respectively. The Town was able to successfully mitigate most of these losses through operational savings totalling $3,833,500 and $555,800 from tax funded and rate funded operations, respectively resulting in a remaining COVID-19 driven loss of $214,600 for its tax funded and a savings of $160,300 from its rate funded operations. A detailed break-down of the Town’s COVID-19 driven losses and savings can be found under Table 1.

However, a portion of the Safe Restart funding was used in 2020 in support of Page 250 of 308 June 15, 2021 8 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 capital funded facility safety improvements such as plexiglass barriers, personal protection equipment and materials. The surplus control bylaw authorizes the CAO and Treasurer to allocate portions of a yearend surplus to specific reserve accounts On September 29, 2020, the Surplus Control By-law 6282-20 was passed. This bylaw authorizes the CAO and Treasurer to allocate portions of a yearend surplus to specific reserve accounts, or to offset a yearend operating deficit through a draw from specific reserve accounts as part of the yearend accounting processes. This is done to separate a previous year’s budget variance from that of the upcoming year’s budget. Any surplus allocations are to be made according to a specific formula set out in the bylaw and are to be reported back to Council. The year end surpluses and storm water deficit were then adjusted by transfers from/to reserves in accordance with the 2020 surplus control by-law as follows: Table 2 2020 Surplus Disposition Reserve Transfer Amount Transfer TO Roads R&R reserve fund $303,005 Transfer TO Facilities R&R reserve fund 238,360 Transfer TO Parks R&R reserve fund 50,665 Transfer TO Growth & New reserve fund 116,880 Transfer TO IT R&R reserve fund 51,820 Transfer TO Studies & Other reserve fund 35,250 Transfer TO Fleet reserve fund 56,420 Transfer TO Water reserve fund 86,677 Transfer TO Wastewater reserve fund 159,177 Transfer FROM Storm Water reserve fund (160,254) $938,000 In addition, a total of $1,816,745 in Safe Restart was transferred to the Tax Rate Stabilization reserve for future access by the Town for COVID-19 pressures. Of this amount, the Town allocated $30,755 in support of an Unplanned Emergency Repairs capital project in 2020. Advisory Committee Review Not applicable. Page 251 of 308 June 15, 2021 9 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 Legal Considerations None. Financial Implications There are no other immediate financial implications arising from this report. Council fulfills its role, in part, by receiving and reviewing this financial status report on the operations of the municipality relative to the approved budget. Communications Considerations The Town of Aurora will use ‘Inform’ as the level of engagement for this report. There are five different levels of community engagement to consider, with each level providing the community more involvement in the decision-making process. These levels are: Inform, Consult, Involve, Collaborate and Empower. Examples of each can be found in the Community Engagement Policy. These options are based on the International Association of Public Participation (IAP2) Spectrum and assist in establishing guidelines for clearly communicating with our public and managing community engagement. To inform the public, this report will be made available on the Town’s website in the Budget and Financial Information pages. Link to Strategic Plan The 2020 Final Budget Report provides an update on the surplus/deficit of the corporation and outlines the strategy for managing the identified surplus/deficit. Outlining and understanding the Town’s financial results contributes to achieving the Strategic Plan guiding principle of “Leadership in Corporate Management” and improves transparency and accountability to the community. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation Not applicable, this report is for information only. Conclusions The general operating results show a year end surplus of $852,400 arising primarily from larger than anticipated development driven revenues such as engineering fees for lot grading, subdivisions and site plans, as well as salary and contract savings. These Page 252 of 308 June 15, 2021 10 of 10 Report No. FIN21-031 surpluses have been partially offset by COVID-19 driven operating losses.

That Report No. PDS21-071 be received; and, 2. That a by-law to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-Law Number 6000-17 be enacted at a future Council meeting. Executive Summary This report presents a Town initiated zoning By-law amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law for consideration. In addition to the implementation of a landscape strip, staff have identified a number of minor or housekeeping amendments to the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law.  A landscape strip for all Zones is proposed for the purposes of tree planting and supporting soil volume.  Increasing the maximum driveway width in Employment zones to safely accommodate truck turning movements where there are two driveways planned for access.  The Comprehensive Zoning By-law requires an approach for rounding up or down of numbers to provide consistent interpretations.  Enabling staff to correct minor technical errors without having to undertake a Zoning By-law Amendment. Page 257 of 308 June 15, 2021 2 of 7 Report No. PDS21-071  Refinements to the draft Zoning Amendment were undertaken based on the input received at the Public Meeting and from additional consultation. Background Section 34 of the Planning Act grants municipalities the power to pass a Zoning By-Law as well as subsequent amendments to the document. Finding technical issues within a Comprehensive Zoning By-Law is not unusual or uncommon. The purpose of undertaking regular housekeeping amendments is to implement technical updates to the document to address minor issues or discrepancies, and ensure that the policies of the Official Plan and Provincial plans are effectively implemented. In September 2020, Planning & Development Services staff received direction to present a Town initiated amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law to implement the requirement for a landscape strip for all zones for the purposes of tree planting and supporting soil volume. In February 2021, Planning & Development Services staff received further direction to proceed with a statutory public meeting to present Housekeeping Amendments to the Town’s Zoning By-law. On April 13, 2021, Planning & Development Services staff received direction to address the comments presented at the Public Meeting and report to a future General Committee meeting. The minutes of the April 13, 2021 public planning meeting are attached hereto as Attachment 1. Analysis Since the approval of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 6000-17 in 2017, staff have strived to ensure the document is monitored so that it remains current and relevant, implementing any corrections in a timely manner. This report speaks to the following amendments that were introduced by staff for public consultation: A landscape strip for all Zones is proposed for the purposes of tree planting and supporting soil volume Staff conducted a municipal scan of seven GTA municipalities regarding landscape strip standards. Based on that review, a 3 metre landscaping strip was the most common standard found. At the April 2021 statutory public meeting, the following revisions to the Town’s Zoning By-law were presented: Page 258 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 7 Report No. PDS21-071  A minimum 3 metre wide continuous landscaping strip on the front and interior side lot line of any lot that has a frontage of 15 metres or more. For lots with a frontage of less than 15 metres, a minimum 2 metre wide continuous landscaping strip is proposed on the front and interior side lot line.  Properties with a frontage of 15 metres or more and less than a 3 metre required front or interior side yard setback, shall provide a minimum landscaping strip the same width as the required front and interior side yard setback provided the required setback is not less than 1.5 metres.  Properties with a frontage of less than 15 metres and less than a 2 metre required front or interior side yard setback, shall provide a minimum landscaping strip the same width as the required front and interior side yard setback provided the required setback is not less than 1.5 metres.  Where the rear lot line of any lot in a non-residential zone abuts a lot in a Residential Zone, a minimum 3 metre wide continuous landscaping strip is proposed along the abutting lot line of the lot.  Properties with a zero front yard or side yard requirement are exempt from providing a landscape strip. Increasing the maximum driveway width in Employment zones to safely accommodate truck turning movements where there are two driveways planned for access In reviewing a number of site plans for new buildings in the Addison Hall Business Park over the past year, applicants were required to apply for a minor variance to increase the maximum driveway width to safely accommodate truck turning movements where there are two driveways planned for access. To avoid delays in processing applications and to facilitate the safe movement of larger vehicles, staff introduced a new standard for driveways exclusively serving a loading space or serving a building in an Employment Zone may have one or more one-way lanes. Each lane is to have a minimum width of 3.5 metres and a maximum width of 6.5 metres. The minimum and maximum width of the driveway will be measured at the street line. Page 259 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 7 Report No. PDS21-071 The Zoning By-law needs a methodology for rounding up or down of numbers to provide consistent interpretations The Town initiated zoning amendment presented at the April 2021 public meting introduced the following methodology for rounding:  For a provision shown as a whole number (for example 220), the rounding digit is the first whole number left of the decimal place.  For a provision shown to the first decimal place (for example 3.0), the rounding digit is the first digit right of the decimal place.  For a provision shown to the second decimal place (for example 3.50), the rounding digit is the second digit right of the decimal place. Enabling staff to correct minor technical errors without having to undertake a Zoning By- law Amendment Also introduced at the April 2021 public planning were a number of housekeeping revisions that enable staff to correct minor technical errors without an amendment provided that the purpose, effect, intent, meaning and substance of the Comprehensive By-Law are no way affected such as:  Changes to the numbering, cross-referencing, format and arrangement of the text, tables, schedules and maps;  Additions to and revisions of technical information on maps and schedules including, but not limited to: infrastructure and topographic information, notes, legends, shading and title blocks;  Alterations of punctuation or language; and,  Correction of grammatical, dimensional, boundary, mathematical or typographic errors. Refinements to the draft Zoning Amendment were undertaken based on the input received at the Public Meeting and from additional consultation The comments from the April 2021 statutory public meeting and additional consultation with Town staff resulted in a number of refinements to the draft zoning amendment. A Page 260 of 308 June 15, 2021 5 of 7 Report No. PDS21-071 tracked change version of the draft zoning amendment is attached hereto as Attachment 2. Specific revisions undertaken to the draft zoning amendment following the April 2021 public meeting include:  Scoping Landscaping Strip requirements for Residential Areas to Multiple Residential (more than four dwelling units per Lot);  Applying Landscaping Strip requirements to interior side lot line in addition to front and rear lot lines; and,  Introducing separate definitions for Landscaping and Landscaping Strip. Advisory Committee Review Not applicable. Legal Considerations If Council passes a by-law to amend the Comprehensive Zoning By-law as set out in this report, staff must provide written notice of the by-law, no later than fifteen days after the day the by-law is passed by Council, to each person and public body that filed a written request to be notified and to any person or public body prescribed by the regulations. The Minister, or any person or public body who made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to Council, may appeal the passing of the by-law to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal no later than 20 days after the notice is given. Financial Implications There are no financial implications arising as a result of this report. Communications Considerations The Town will use “inform” as the level of engagement for this report. Changes to the Zoning By-law impacting public input and development will be shared by way of the Town’s website as well as direct communication with interested individuals and groups. Page 261 of 308 June 15, 2021 6 of 7 Report No. PDS21-071 Link to Strategic Plan While the Zoning By-law amendment process supports all of the Goals and Objectives of the Town’s Strategic Plan in some fashion, the most relevant goals are: supporting an exceptional quality of life for all and enabling a diverse, creative and resilient economy. The relevant supporting objectives include: Strengthening the fabric of our community and promoting economic opportunities that facilitate the growth of Aurora as a desirable place to do business. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation 1. That Council provide direction. Conclusions Staff have proposed a Town initiated housekeeping amendment to the Comprehensive Zoning By-Law to implement landscape strips for all zones, address driveway widths in employment zones and to also introduce a number of minor technical revisions. The proposed housekeeping amendment will help ensure that the Zoning By-law remains relevant and continues to implement the intent of Town’s Official Plan.

Background Location/Land Use The subject lands are located north of Wellington Street at the intersection of Leslie Street and William Graham Drive. The lands are approximately 1.01 hectar es (2.51 acres). The properties are located on the south side of William Graham D rive, municipally known as 460 and 480 William Graham Drive (see Figure 1). The subject lands are irregularly shaped and form a development block within the York Region Christian Seniors’ Home Inc. landholding and are currently vacant. The property grade drops from north to south creating a grading complexity within the subject site. The rear of the building (south facing) is located adjacent to an Environmental Protection Area and is not directly abutting a residential zone. Surrounding Land Uses The surrounding land uses are as follows: Page 272 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 North: medium density housing; South: Open space and valley lands; East: Vacant, future Phase 4 Christians Seniors’ apartment housing development; West: Phase 2 Christian Seniors’ retirement complex. Policy Context Provincial Policies All Planning applications are subject to Provincial policies. The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest. These policies support the development of strong communities through the promotion of efficient land use and development patterns. The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe is a guiding document for growth management within the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) Area. The Growth Plan provides a framework which guide decisions on how land will be planned, designated, zoned and designed. The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) is a provincial document that provides policies which addresses aquatic life, water quality, water quantity, shorelines and natural heritage, other threats and activities (including invasive species, climate change and recreational activities) and implementation. Existing mapping indicates that the subject lands are currently outside of an area that is regulated by the LSRCA under Ontario Regulation 179/06. Accordingly, a permit from the LSRCA under Ontario Regulation 179/06 is not required prior to development or site alteration occurring on the property. York Region Official Plan (YROP) The subject lands are designated as “Urban Area” within the York Region Official Plan. York Region’s vision for the Urban Area is to strategically focus growth while conserving resources and to create sustainable, lively communities. Under the York Region’s Official Plan, one regional urbanization goal is to enhance the Region’s urban structure through city building, intensification and compact, complete communities. Page 273 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 Aurora 2C Secondary Plan Area (OPA 73) As illustrated on Figure 2, the subject lands are designated “Urban Residential 2 (UR2)” by Official Plan Amendment No. 73. The UR2 designation permits street, block, stacked and back-to-back townhouse dwellings, small plex-type (e.g. quattroplex) multiple unit buildings and small scale/low-rise apartments. The maximum permitted height in the UR2 designation is 7 storeys. Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended As illustrated in Figure 3, the subject lands are zoned “Holding - Second Density Apartment Residential – (H)RA2(424)” by the Town of Aurora Zoning By-law 6000-17, as amended. The site plan conforms with the approved zoning standards for the subject lands. The By-law states that prior to passing a by-law to remove the (H) Holding Symbol from the subject lands the Town of Aurora shall be satisfied that the following conditions shall be complied with: i) the Town of Aurora has approved a transfer of allocation to this development that is not dependent upon the completion of infrastructure; or York Region has advised in writing that the required infrastructure to support the capacity assignment associated with this development will be completed within a time period acceptable to the Region to permit the plan registration, or the Regional Commissioner of Environmental Services has confirmed servicing allocation for this development by a suitable alternative method and the Town of Aurora has allocated the capacity for the development; ii) that there is adequate transportation services available to accommodate the draft plans of subdivision or any phase thereof; iii) the removal of the “H” represents logical and orderly progression of the development; and, iv) compliance with the relevant policies of the 2C Secondary Plan (OPA 73).

Landscape Plans Land Art Design Landscape Architects Inc. Urban Design Brief O.C.A. Architects Inc. Letter in Support of the Hold Removal Malone Given Parsons Pond Recharge Assessment R.J. Burnside Associates Ltd. Lighting Plan Trace Engineering Ltd. Geotechnical Investigation WSP Proposed Applications The applicant has submitted a Site Plan Application to permit the construction of a seven (7) storey apartment building for Seniors with one level of underground parking, 125 independent living units in the Phase 3 of Meadows of Aurora Retirement Complex. The applicant is proposing to construct a seven-storey apartment building for seniors consisting of 125 independent living units (see Figure 4). As mentioned, the grade slopes downwards from north to south creating a grading complexity for the site. The natural topography has been preserved in the site design of all the buildings within the complex. The amenity floor has direct access to the south trail network as a result of the site grade. The building is setback from William Graham Drive in order to prevent shading onto the existing townhouse development on the north side of William Graham Drive. Upon completion, the entire complex will be connected by an interior ‘Village Street’ designed to provide barrier free access to each building, allowing safe access to the amenities for all patrons of the building. The following amenities are being provided for Phase 3: multi-purpose hall, theatre/chapel, book club/craft room, potting room, fitness centre and bistro. These spaces will be accessible via the Village Street. All ground floor units are provided with extended amenity space, enclosed porches for the units facing north and raised terrace Page 275 of 308 June 15, 2021 6 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 for units facing south. All units above the ground floor are provided with balconies. Additionally, the overall design of Phase 3 includes a number of outdoor recreation spaces, patios and seasonal gardens along the south side of the building, we well as landscaped area with a gazebo on the north-west corner. The exterior treatment and materials are consistent with the previously constructed phases of the development. The mechanical equipment contained within the mechanical penthouse as well as the buildings cooling tower and generator will be concealed in a screened structure, similar to previous phases (see Figures 5-8). As previously stated, an application for a zoning by-law amendment to lift the (H) Holding Symbol was also submitted to The Town. Conditions for Removal of (H) Holding Symbol have been addressed A summary of the removal of the Holding provision is addressed below: i) The Aurora 2C Landowners Group and the Town of Aurora have confirmed that there is sufficient allocation for the construction of the development. ii) Major collector roads such as William Graham Drive, Holladay Drive and Thomas Phillips Drive were draft approved within the Phase 1 lands, enabling access to school sites, parks and the proposed development. This is satisfactory to the Town. iii) Staff are satisfied that the lifting of the “(H)” represents a logical and orderly progression of the development. iv) The application is in compliance with the 2C Secondary Plan (OPA No. 73) related policies such as phasing, availability of servicing and the holding zone policies. Overall, Planning Staff are satisfied that the Holding conditions as identified above have been satisfied and that a by-law to remove the ‘(H)’ Holding symbol may be passed by Council. As a condition of Site Plan Approval, a letter from the Trustee is required confirming that the applicant is in good standing and has satisfied all obligations of the Landowners cost share agreement. In addition, York Christian Seniors have paid their full share of the parkland dedication (up to 430 units) through the group’s agreement with the Town. Page 276 of 308 June 15, 2021 7 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 Analysis Planning Considerations The proposed application is consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and Places to Grow Plan. It is Planning Staff’s opinion that the proposed site plan application is consistent with the PPS. The site plan application supports development of strong communities through the promotion of efficient land use and development patterns. The proposed development will occur within a built-up area to maximize the efficient use of the land. The building will be connected to the existing municipal infrastructure, which maximize efficiency. The independent living units for seniors provide for a specific housing type which contributes to the range of housing type within the overall OPA 73 land area. The Growth Plan requires the vast majority of growth be directed to delineated built-up areas with transit services to support the achievement of complete communities. The subject lands are located within an existing residential area. A York Region transit stop is located on William Graham Drive directly in front of the proposed building. The proposed development makes efficient use of the lands, providing for residential units for retirement purposes. Staff are satisfied that the proposed applications is consistent with the policies of the Provincial Growth Plan. The proposed application conforms to the Aurora 2C Secondary Plan (OPA 73) The site plan application is for a seven storey, 125 independent living retirement units, which is permitted in the “Urban Residential 2 (UR2)”. The intent of the UR2 designation is to promote well-designed and transit supportive housing forms in proximity to community recreational and convenience commercial facilities. Staff are satisfied that the proposed development meets the intended function of the Aurora 2C Secondary Plan Area (OPA 73) and is compatible with the surrounding land uses. In accordance with the Aurora 2C West Secondary Plan Area Urban Design Guidelines (December 2012), the site plan must be submitted for review and approved by the control architect. Staff are satisfied with the Building and Site Design Applications within the 2C West Secondary Plan Area are subject to Urban and Architectural Design Guidelines. The site plan and elevations are to be reviewed by the control architect, which is The Planning Partnership. The Planning Partnership is Page 277 of 308 June 15, 2021 8 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 satisfied with the elevations noting that Phase 3 is consistent with the style, proportions and materials of Phases 1 and 2. The control architect is satisfied with the high quality, complementary and material palette that enhance the design and help further articulate the elevations. The building’s base, middle and top are clearly differentiated by using different textures and colours. Additionally, cornices, door and window surrounds, decorative panels and main entry detailing are consistent with those of the other phases. The control architect preferred to have the building placed closer to the street edge of William Graham Drive and for surface parking to be located at the rear. The rational with the relocation is to achieve additional green space for the development and provide more landscaped amenity for the residents. Planning staff prefer to site the building at its current location on the site plan. The building is consistent with the existing buildings (Phases 1 and 2) and provides direct access to the trails and the open space area to the rear of the property (see Figure 9). Due to the sloping nature of the property, staff prefer to avoid any retaining walls which may eliminate the view to the open area to the rear of the property. Staff are also mindful of the existing townhouse development to the north of William Graham Drive, moving the building closer to the street line may result in shadowing effects for the existing residents. The control architect has agreed to sign the plans noting that a final urban design review was completed at the request of the Town to their satisfaction. Department/Agency Comments Internal departments and external agencies are satisfied with the proposal The proposed applications were circulated to Town staff and external agencies for review and comment. In general, all circulated staff agencies are satisfied with the proposal. Outstanding minor technical comments will be addressed prior to execution of a site plan agreement. Parks The proposed development enhances the site with amenity features which includes a number of outdoor recreation spaces, patios and seasonal gardens along the south side of the building, we well as a landscaped area with a gazebo at the north-west corner. The site offers access to the south trail network. The Operations Division has reviewed the application and is satisfied that the proposed landscape works satisfies the Town’s Landscape Design Guidelines. Page 278 of 308 June 15, 2021 9 of 12 Report No. PDS21-074 Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority (LSRCA) The LSRCA has no objection to the applications for lifting the Holding ‘H’ Symbol and Site Plan Approval. The block specific stormwater management design is consistent with the approved approach for the subject lands. Targets for infiltration volume for the block are met and the water balance assessment have been addressed to the satisfaction of the LSRCA, in accordance with the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan Water Budget Offsetting Policy for LSPP 4.8-DP and 6.40-DP. As mentioned earlier, the Ontario Regulation 179/06 does not apply to the subject lands. A permit from the Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority will not be required prior to any development taking place. The LSRCA has provided conditions to be included in the site plan agreement. Accessibility The Town’s Accessibility Advisor reviewed the site plan on behalf of the Accessibility Advisory Committee in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act in order to encourage barrier free access. Transportation Transportation staff reviewed the materials submitted with the application and are satisfied that the proposed development meets all applicable traffic requirements. Specifically, the truck auto-turn diagrams were reviewed to ensure safety of the residents and the loading area. Central York Fire Services Central York Fire Services (CYFS) has confirmed that the proposed site plan satisfies all fire requirements and therefore have no objection to the application.

That Report No. PDS21-076 be received; and 2. That the creation of a new project with total Capital Budget Authority of $20,000 for the purposes of an AEDC marketing campaign to be funded from the Economic Development Reserve be approved; and 3. That the management and distribution of the funds be directed through the Economic Development Operating Budget in accordance with the Town’s Finance and Procurement processes. Executive Summary The Aurora Economic Development Corporation (AEDC)’s Board of Directors established three sub-committees to facilitate the delivery of the Council-approved Economic Development Strategy. This report speaks to the C-Suite Engagement Sub Committee that proposes a marketing campaign project inline with the strategy.  The marketing campaign proposal was identified in the AEDC’s Implementation Matrix under Investment Attraction – Marketing, and is uniquely connected to other identified action items  The marketing campaign proposal is designed to engage resident business leaders, and share their message about ‘Why Aurora’ - as a place to live, work and play Page 292 of 308 June 15, 2021 2 of 6 Report No. PDS21-076  The marketing campaign proposal considered intended target markets and potential reach for the greatest awareness  The committee has investigated costs associated with the campaign and is confident that a superior product can be delivered with a budget of $20,000 comprised of both video production and social marketing components. Background The marketing campaign proposal was identified in the AEDC’s Implementation Matrix under Investment Attraction – Marketing, and is uniquely connected to other identified action items The Aurora Economic Development Corporation (AEDC) was incorporated in December 2018, and members were officially appointed by Council to the Board of Directors in March 2019. The draft Economic Development Strategic Plan was approved by the AEDC in June 2019. The C-Suite committee of the AEDC was created out of the goals of the Strategic Plan. This committee met regularly to develop ideas, despite COVID, on ways to engage and connect with resident business leaders. Subsequently, the Strategic Plan’s Implementation Matrix of action items was approved by Council on March 23, 2021. The Implementation Matrix identified marketing and the ‘C-Suite Outreach/Engagement’ as connected action items. Additionally, the two other sub-committee’s goals are uniquely connected to the C-Suite action item. The Target Sector group identified potential target markets for marketing for investment attraction, and the Downtown group is currently working to establish relations with property and building owners in the Downtown that could potentially become home to new or expanding businesses. Both groups would benefit by being engaged through marketing the messages of the Town’s resident business leaders. Analysis The marketing campaign proposal is designed to engage resident business leaders and share their message about “Why Aurora”- as a place to live, work and play The proposed video and social marketing campaign are described as an innovative style of conversation with resident business leaders in a variety of business sectors, who all reside in Aurora. The intent is to capture unique stories of those residents that have started and/or are growing a business in Aurora, as well as capturing interesting Page 293 of 308 June 15, 2021 3 of 6 Report No. PDS21-076 perspectives of business success from resident experts in their respective field of work (live in Aurora, but their company is located outside of Aurora). Both categories of residents will be selected and invited by the committee to share their view of ‘Why Aurora’ as a place where other innovators, entrepreneurs and thought leaders can connect and grow. The marketing campaign proposal considered intended target markets and potential reach for the greatest awareness The outputs of the marketing campaign include a series of superior production videos that capture the business leader’s insight through engaging visuals. The deliverables of the production phase include a full-length video series as well as short clips for social media marketing and promotion. The deliverables of the marketing phase of the project include professionally written articles that elaborate on the topics mentioned by the business leaders, with supporting social media marketing. Combined as a packaged campaign, the videos and the social media marketing elements will provide content to be used to promote that the ‘Why Aurora’ message is unique and innovative, while also producing legacy material that can be hosted on the Town’s website. The timeline for the committee to implement the campaign, if approved, incudes pre - production planning, resident scheduling, video production, post-production, social media planning, and article composition from June through August, with the launch of the completed campaign targeted for September 2021. The committee has investigated costs associated with the campaign and is confident that a superior product can be delivered with a budget of $20,000 comprised of both the video production and social marketing components. The committee reviewed various elements required for the project, and compared costs between all-in-one packages to ala carte-style elements to comprise of a full project. Based on pricing examples and discussion, the committee is comfortable with the lower cost structure and more deliverables included in an all-inclusive package. This package pricing ranges from $18,000 to $24,000. However, the committee is confident that the quality and deliverables desired can be managed within a budget of $20,000. The campaign is one of the many components within the Economic Development Strategic goal of Investment Attraction. As such, success of this project will be Page 294 of 308 June 15, 2021 4 of 6 Report No. PDS21-076 measured by many factors including: participation of resident leaders in the project (6- 8+); building awareness of Aurora’s key assets; collaboration between Town staff, AEDC and external partners; and specific social media and marketing metrics based on target market promotion tactics used (impressions, views, clicks, feedback, shares, inquiries, etc.). Specific key performance indicators (KPIs) based on the final project plan will be developed as the campaign further evolves, and will be presented to Council when the project is ready for launch. Further, the development of the content for this project will be leveraged for extended exposure for the Town. The intent is to utilize the content beyond the initial campaign for the website, other social media content, as well as cross-usage by other sub- committees, Town departments, and potential partners (i.e. BIA, Chamber, Region, Province). Advisory Committee Review The Aurora Economic Development Board was presented with the details of the proposal on May 25, 2021 and expressed their support of the C-suite Committee’s recommendation to retain a consultant to prepare the marketing campaign including the development of key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure the success of the project. Legal Considerations This project is exempted from the competitive Procurement requirements of the Town’s Purchasing Bylaw 6076-18, as it is considered an exemption as per Schedule “A” Exceptions #25 - Newspaper, social media or other media advertising space/presence. Financial Implications Staff recommend the creation of a new project with total Capital Project Authority of $20,000 to be funded from the Economic Development Reserve. The Economic Development Reserve contains sufficient funds to accommodate this amount with a current balance of $412,800. Communications Considerations The Town’s Communications team has been consulted for their expertise and level of support for the proposed project. The success of this campaign will be enhanced Page 295 of 308 June 15, 2021 5 of 6 Report No. PDS21-076 through the support and involvement of the Communications team. The Communications team will be involved in the campaign’s distribution and marketing, while the specific skills required to deliver on the materials will rest with the outsourced company. Once the materials are finalized, the Town will promote, distribute and market the videos and campaign through various means, including website, social media, media release, and stakeholder communications. Link to Strategic Plan The report supports the Strategic Plan goal of enabling a diverse, creative and resilient economy. The report also supports the Economic Development Strategic Plan of Creating a Competitive Business Environment and Supporting Business, Targeting Growth Sectors and Attracting Investment, and improving Quality of Life, particularly through Community Engagement. Additionally, this project is identified as a specific action item in the Implementation Matrix 2021-2022 under Investment Attraction, including partnership opportunities and engaging with entrepreneurs. Alternative(s) to the Recommendation 1. Council to provide direction. Conclusions The Aurora Economic Development Corporation (AEDC)’s Board of Directors established three sub-committees to facilitate the delivery of the Council-approved Economic Development Strategy, and subsequent Implementation Matrix. The C-Suite Engagement Committee proposes a marketing campaign project aligned with the strategy and plan that is designed to engage resident business leaders.

That the York Regional Council Highlights of May 27, 2021, be received for information. Page 300 of 308 , Monday, May 31, 2021 York Regional Council – Thursday, May 27, 2021 Live streaming of the public session of Council and Committee of the Whole meetings is available on the day of the meeting from 9 a.m. until the close of the meeting. Past sessions are also available at York.ca/councilandcommittee Moving forward with the Yonge North Subway Extension On Tuesday, May 11, 2021, York Regional Council celebrated the Government of Canada’s historic investment in Ontario rapid transit infrastructure, which will contribute 40% capital funding to the Yonge North Subway Extension. Access to safe and reliable transportation options continues to be a predominant issue for York Region residents, with the Yonge North Subway Extension to the Richmond Hill / Langstaff Urban Growth Centre being Regional Council’s top transit priority. Extending the Yonge North Subway Extension to the City of Richmond Hill will improve economic activity by linking prosperous urban growth centres up and down Yonge Street to new, complete communities. By connecting the diverse cities of Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill, the Yonge North Subway Extension is an integral part of York Region’s post-pandemic recovery plan, creating job growth and resiliency to help York Region remain competitive. A project of this magnitude is not possible without the collaboration of all levels of government, and Regional Council has extended gratitude to federal, provincial and municipal partners for their commitment to moving forward on the Yonge North Subway Extension. 70% of eligible York Region adults receive first dose vaccination On May 26, 2021, York Region reached an important milestone in the fight against COVID-19 with more than 70% of eligible adults having received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This milestone is a testament to the dedication of many individuals and partners who continue to advance York Region’s mass immunization plan and the York Region residents who have rolled up their sleeves in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19. Regional Council extended thanks and acknowledged the significant contributions made by York Region staff, York Region’s COVID-19 Vaccine Task Force, hospital partners, pharmacies, physicians and partner-led clinics. Through these collaborative partnerships, York Region continues to move toward the reopening of our communities. As more residents receive a first dose vaccination, Regional Council also passed a motion calling on the Government of Ontario to advance second dose vaccinations for residents 70 years of age and older. Page 301 of 308 York Region’s continued response to COVID-19 Regional Council received a series of updates on the ongoing response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, including a verbal update from York Region Medical Officer of Health Dr. Karim Kurji. Dr. Kurji provided an update on the advancement of York Region’s mass immunization plan, with the expansion of vaccine eligibility to all residents 12 years and older who live, work or go to school in York Region and plans to move towards second doses for eligible priority groups. With a downward trend in new positive cases of COVID-19 and 70% of eligible adults receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, Regional Council passed a motion calling on the Government of Ontario to move York Region into Step One of the provincial Roadmap to Reopen plan as of May 31, 2021. As cases continue to decrease and until the population has been fully vaccinated, York Region will continue to maintain an enhanced response to COVID-19 with case, contact and outbreak management, infection prevention and control measures and increased enforcement of public health measures. At the same time, York Region continues to monitor vaccine supply and make adjustments to the COVID-19 Vaccination Program to ensure continued immunization opportunities for all York Region residents. Regional Council also received an update on the financial impacts of COVID-19, which are estimated to be $117 million between January 1 and April 30, 2021 or approximately $7.6 million per week. While funding commitments from senior levels of government are expected to help address these financial impacts, York Region staff continue to look at additional efficiencies to offset pandemic related pressures. More information on York Region’s continued response to COVID-19 is available at york.ca/covid19 74% of York Region’s Strategic Plan’s performance measures are trending in the desired direction York Region released its Year 2 (2020) Progress Report on the 2019 to 2023 Strategic Plan which shows the Region’s progress on its four-year strategic plan during unprecedented times. In 2020, 23 of 31 (74%) of the performance measures were trending in the desired direction. The strategic plan provides a detailed course of action over a term of Regional Council within the four community result areas: Economic Vitality, Healthy Communities, Sustainable Environment and Good Government. York Region’s 2019 to 2023 Strategic Plan is tracked, measured and reported annually to ensure progress is made on Council’s priorities. A copy of the progress report and other documents relating to York Region’s strategic planning is available at york.ca/stratplan 2022 budget direction includes tax levy increase target of 1.96% For the final year of the four-year budget, Regional Council directed staff to reduce the previously endorsed 2022 tax levy outlook of 2.96% to 1.96%. This will be accomplished through reductions to the 2022 operating outlook. On March 25, 2021, Council approved the third year of the Multi-year Budget. As a result of additional provincial pandemic funding and organization-wide mitigations to offset cost pressures, the 2021 Budget was approved with a tax levy increase - after assessment growth - of 1.54%, lower than the 2.96% outlook. The 2022 budget will continue to address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the risks and uncertainty in revenues and cost impacts, as well as addressing the potential impact of the Yonge North Subway Extension project. Page 302 of 308 Driving positive change through economic and social impact Regional Council received a presentation from York University President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Rhonda L. Lenton on the university’s economic, fiscal and social impact in the GTHA, Ontario and beyond. Driving Positive Change: The York University Economic and Social Impact Report 2020 documents the magnitude of York University’s economic impact through access to education, employment, innovative research and as a global gateway. York Region benefits from the economic and social impacts of York University, as alumni – many of whom reside in York Region’s nine cities and towns – are more likely to volunteer their time to schools, religious organizations, sports or community organizations, engage in entrepreneurial activities and obtain higher incomes. Further to the impacts of alumni, York University’s collaborative partnerships are driving innovative solutions to inequality, pandemic recovery, climate change and other complex issues facing our communities. These impacts will further benefit York Region with the opening of the Markham Centre Campus in September 2023. In collaboration with the Government of Ontario and York University, Regional Council’s $25 million capital funding commitment in the new campus will strengthen opportunities for students and create new opportunities for research, innovation and business growth. York Region Transit Enforcement continues to protect travellers Regional Council received the York Region Transit (YRT) 2020 Enforcement and Security Annual Report highlighting the work to ensure YRT travellers remain safe and comfortable. While the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an overall reduction in ridership and reduced the need for fare inspections, more emphasis was placed on traveller education, safety and security. Since July 2020, staff supported the Transit bylaw requiring face coverings on YRT services by interacting with those not meeting the requirement as well as providing masks to travellers without one. Speed limits being reduced in school zones Existing speed limits on Regional roads in all York Region school zones will be reduced by 10 km/hr. Current speed limit signs will be replaced with new signs indicating the days and hours speed limits are decreased. To improve traveller safety, 64 elementary and secondary schools on Regional roads will have new school zone maximum speed signs. Work will begin in spring 2021 and is expected to be completed before the September 2021 school year is scheduled to begin. The new signs will include the times, days and months of the 10 km/hr reduced speed limits will be in effect. New school zone maximum speed limits between 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. will help enhance safety, including when school is in session, the morning and evening commute periods when children are walking, cycling, being dropped off or picked up and during after-school activities. Transfer of Yonge Street to York Region supports rapid transit in Richmond Hill Regional Council approved the transfer of Yonge Street from Levendale Road to Elgin Mills Road from the City of Richmond Hill to The Regional Municipality of York. The transfer will support consistent rapid transit along the Yonge Corridor. The Yonge Street rapidway from Highway 7 to 19th Avenue/Gamble Road completed construction and opened for service in December 2020. Page 303 of 308 York Region makes meaningful strides toward canopy and woodland cover York Region’s 2020 Greening Strategy Achievements and State of the Forest report outlines continued progress to increase canopy and woodland cover and on-the-ground action supported by partners to strengthen the natural environment. In 2020, canopy cover and woodland cover in York Region increased to 33.4% and 23.6%, respectively. While the timeframe to achieve 40% canopy cover by 2051 remains the same, the date for achieving 25% woodland cover will be revised from 2031 to 2051 through the Municipal Comprehensive Review. This allows time to better reflect gains in woodland cover as natural regeneration and past tree planting efforts materialize. Additional 2020 Greening Strategy achievements include planting 60,539 trees and shrubs, inspiring resident action through 108 virtual events and leveraging $534,000 in external funding. As a result of COVID-19, the York Regional Forest has experienced a significant increase in visitors warranting additional monitoring and provisions to ensure a safe and positive visitor experience. Steps are also being taken to protect Regional tree assets and support residents against severe tree defoliation by invasive pest European gypsy moth / Lymantria dispar dispar (LDD) this spring/summer. 2021 York Region Homeless Count and Community Safety & Well-being Plan Update Regional Council received an update on the 2021 York Region Homeless Count. On June 1 and 2, 2021, the Region will partner with the United Way of Greater Toronto to carry out this year’s Point-in- Time count. A Point-in-Time count captures numbers and basic demographics of people experiencing homelessness at a single point in time. By targeting investments and resources on prevention, diversion, wrap-around and housing retention supports and crisis supports, the Region continues to be successful in helping people experiencing or at-risk of homelessness move towards housing stability. Regional Council also received an update on the Community Safety and Well-being Plan for York Region. Between August 2020 and March 2021, over 700 members of the public and stakeholders from across York Region participated in the engagement process, including through online surveys and iterative rounds of virtual consultations. The Community Safety and Well-being Plan for York Region will help focus on actions that build and sustain strong, caring, safe communities for all residents and support the Region as a vibrant, growing destination of choice for employers and residents and their families. Taking a local collaborative planning approach to the preparation of the plan provides an opportunity to build on Regional initiatives and develop targeted strategies that reflect community needs and address specific services gaps. Insights from local tables will inform the proposed Community Safety and Well-being Plan, to be brought forward to Council in 2022. York Region continues to partner with conservation authorities Regional Council renewed its agreement with Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) to continue to provide efficient, timely and cost-effective services needed to support and enable growth throughout the Region. The Memorandum of Understanding between York Region and the conservation authorities has been in place since 2000, providing the Region with environmental and technical expertise. Collaborative Page 304 of 308 programs include working to protect residents and their property, and Regional infrastructure, from flooding, erosion and other natural hazards while protecting Regional natural heritage systems and drinking water sources. While the full impacts of recent changes to the Conservation Authorities Act are currently unknown, York Region’s current arrangements with both the LSRCA and the TRCA have resulted in a collaborative effort in planning, reviewing and permitting consistency throughout our watersheds. 2020 Annual Investment Report shows strong Regional position Regional Council received the 2020 Annual Investment Report, providing an update on the General and Sinking Fund investment portfolios held by York Region. In 2020, the General Fund realized record investment returns of $124.4 million, or a 3.76% return rate. After costs, the total return was $13.2 million higher than the principal benchmark, the FTSE/S&P Composite Index and $53.2 million higher than The ONE Investment Program. These returns augment reserve and reserve fund balances over the longer term, potentially reducing future levels of required contributions to these funds. In 2020, the Sinking Fund generated realized returns of $35 million on a fixed income portfolio, averaging $836.9 million. This equates to a realized rate of return of 4.18%. The returns were $15.4 million higher than the $19.6 million required to meet the Sinking Fund actuarial requirement for 2020. York Region’s investment program is governed by a sound and effective Council-approved Investment Policy that consistently provides positive returns while maintaining conservative credit and term risk exposures.
