(a) Councillor Mrakas
Re: Property Tax Vacancy Rebates
Whereas the province of Ontario mandates under Section 364 of the Municipal
Act, that every local municipality shall have a program to provide property tax
rebates in respect to vacant portions of buildings that are in the commercial or
industrial classes; and
Whereas the 2016 Provincial Budget announced a legislative framework to
facilitate increased municipal flexibility with providing municipalities broad
flexibility for 2017 and future years to tailor the vacant unit tax rebate to reflect
community needs and circumstances; and
Whereas this vacant unit tax rebate may encourage some property owners to
keep commercial and industrial buildings empty; and
Whereas unoccupied retail is not good for the overall health of the
municipality; and
Whereas boarded-up stores impact on the ability to revitalize main streets; and
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, February 28, 2017
Item C1
Page 7 of 11
General Committee Meeting Report
Tuesday, February 21, 2017 Page 8 of 11
Whereas the repeal of the vacant unit tax rebate will contribute to the healthy
development of the downtown core; and
Whereas the repeal of the vacant unit tax rebate would support the varied
efforts of the Town in bringing renewal to our downtown promenade and
makes financial sense for the Town;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That the Town of Aurora seek to
repeal the vacant unit tax rebate effective for the tax year 2017; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Honourable Minister of Finance to request the necessary regulatory
authority using the flexibility provided in the legislative framework to repeal
the vacancy tax rebate; and
3. Be it Further Resolved That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Council
of the The Regional Municipality of York and all area municipalities to
advise of Council’s interest in seeking abolishment of the vacant unit
rebates provisions.
(b) Mayor Dawe

Public Health, Southlake Regional Health Centre, and the Aurora Seniors
Association; and
Whereas this “first-ever” cross and multi-sectorial approach will help engage
and educate citizens of all ages in Aurora about the importance of
incorporating daily physical activity and the benefits to their overall physical
and mental well-being; and
Whereas ‘Open Streets’ is a globally successful initiative that temporarily
closes local streets to automobile traffic so that people can use them for
walking, cycling, playing or socializing; and
Whereas Activate Aurora is interested in hosting an Open Streets Event on
Sunday, June 4, 2017, in conjunction with the Aurora Chamber of Commerce
during their Annual Street Sale; and
Whereas local streets in the vicinity of Town Park would be closed to vehicular
traffic; and
Whereas different interactive physical activities would be hosted by Activate
Aurora in Town Park for our citizens to engage in;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That Council endorse this initiative
by resolution; and
2. Be It Further Resolved That Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services staff
be requested to support the proposed activities at Town Park and affected
streets within existing Operating Budgets.
(b) Mayor Dawe
Re: Amendment to Procedure By-law No. 5920-16
Whereas the Town of Aurora Procedure By-law Number 5920-16, Section
39.b), Adjournment, requires an amendment; and
Whereas in its current form this particular section of the By-law states “If
Council or General Committee is still in session at 11 p.m., it shall be
adjourned unless all Members present concur in the extension of the
Meeting.”; and
Council Meeting Agenda

Item C1
Page 9 of 11
General Committee Meeting Report
Tuesday, February 21, 2017 Page 10 of 11
Whereas if for whatever reason a Council member must leave the meeting that
is in session by 11 p.m., the current By-law, as it stands, does not permit the
extension; and
Whereas this may negatively impact moving the business of the Town forward
for the benefit of our community;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That Council amend By-law
Number 5920-16, Section 39.b), Adjournment, to read “If Council or
General Committee is still in session at 11 p.m., it shall be adjourned
unless two-thirds of the Members present enact a resolution to extend the

Re: Additional Information to Item R5 – PBS17-005
February 21, 2017 General Committee Meeting
Application for Site Plan Approval
Shimvest Investments Ltd.
Block 161, Registered Plan 65M-4485
File Number: SP-2016-05
Related File Numbers: SUB-2012-02, ZBA-2012-02
Recommendation
1.That the memorandum regarding Additional Information to Item R5 – PBS17-
005, February 21, 2017 General Committee Meeting, Application for Site Plan
Approval, Shimvest Investments Ltd., be received for information.
Background
At the February 21, 2017 General Committee meeting, questions were raised with
respect to the Official Plan designation of the lands subject to the Site Plan Application
proposing 9 townhouse and 2 semi-detached dwelling units. The attached Draft Plan of
Subdivision (attached as Figure 2) was approved by Council on March 26, 2013, and
subsequently registered as Plan 65M-4485 (see Figure 3). The two plans clearly identify
the future development area that is the subject of Block 161. Block 161 is designated as
“Urban Residential 1” by the 2C Secondary Plan (see Figure 1) and is zoned “Row
Dwelling Residential (R6-63)”. Zoning By-law 5526-13 was passed by Council on June
25, 2013.
The land use designations of the 2C Secondary Plan were created as a Schedule to the
Plan (see Figure 1) to identify the diagrammatic land uses in mapping form. The
boundaries identified on the Schedules are considered as approximate. The final
delineation of the land use boundaries and road network are established through the
more detailed review at the Plan of Subdivision stage.

anticipated as a future development block when Council approved the Draft Plan of
Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment. Block 161 is not designated or zoned as
Environmental Protection Area. The development proposed by the Site Plan Application
(Block 161) will occur entirely within the approved developable area. The blocks that
comprise the natural heritage system lands and the stormwater management ponds that
surround Block 161 have been conveyed to the Town as part of the plan registration
process.

Re: Property Tax Vacancy Rebates
Whereas the province of Ontario mandates under Section 364 of the Municipal Act, that
every local municipality shall have a program to provide property tax rebates in respect
to vacant portions of buildings that are in the commercial or industrial classes; and
Whereas the 2016 Provincial Budget announced a legislative framework to facilitate
increased municipal flexibility with providing municipalities broad flexibility for 2017 and
future years to tailor the vacant unit tax rebate to reflect community needs and
circumstances; and
Whereas this vacant unit tax rebate may encourage some property owners to keep
commercial and industrial buildings empty; and
Whereas unoccupied retail is not good for the overall health of the municipality; and
Whereas boarded-up stores impact on the ability to revitalize main streets; and
Whereas the repeal of the vacant unit tax rebate will contribute to the healthy
development of the downtown core; and
Whereas the repeal of the vacant unit tax rebate would support the varied efforts of the
Town in bringing renewal to our downtown promenade and makes financial sense for
the Town;
1.Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That the Town of Aurora seek to repeal the
vacant unit tax rebate effective for the tax year 2017; and

socializing; and

Re: Amendment to Procedure By-law Number 5920-16
Whereas the Town of Aurora Procedure By-law Number 5920-16, Section 39.b),
Adjournment, requires an amendment; and
Whereas in its current form this particular section of the By-law states “If Council or
General Committee is still in session at 11 p.m., it shall be adjourned unless all
Members present concur in the extension of the Meeting.”; and
Whereas if for whatever reason a Council member must leave the meeting that is in
session by 11 p.m., the current By-law, as it stands, does not permit the extension; and
Whereas this may negatively impact moving the business of the Town forward for the
benefit of our community;
1. Now Therefore Be It Hereby Resolved That Council amend By-law Number 5920-16,
Section 39.b), Adjournment, to read “If Council or General Committee is still in
session at 11 p.m., it shall be adjourned unless two-thirds of the Members present

York Regional Council Highlights - February 16, 2017
Katherine Chislett appointed Commissioner of Community and Health
Services
Regional Council confirmed the appointment of Katherine Chislett as Commissioner,
Community and Health Services for The Regional Municipality of York. The
appointment is effective March 20, 2017, allowing for a brief transition period before
current Commissioner Adelina Urbanski begins her retirement after March 31.
Ms. Chislett brings 30 years of public sector experience to lead our largest Regional
department. She has an abundance of expertise in the human services sector,
specifically related to housing supports and homelessness prevention.
In her most recent position in the City Manager’s Office at the City of Toronto, Ms.
Chislett was responsible for leading complex projects and government-wide
initiatives including the coordination of Toronto’s housing programs and activities in
support of the Mayor and Council’s Housing Advocate.
As former Commissioner of Community Services at The Regional Municipality of
Niagara, her understanding of a two-tier municipal system is an asset in continuing to
advance the important work of this department and our Region.
Employment in York Region continues to grow
York Regional Council received the 2016 Employment and Industry Report, which
provides an economic overview of the Region’s businesses and job growth. Between
mid-year 2015 and mid-year 2016 York Region employment growth outpaced
national and provincial labour force growth, with a gain of 3.1 per cent.
York Region has:

York Region has also received the 2016 Ontario Public Works Association Project of
the Year in the area of historic restoration and preservation, the 2016 Professional
Engineers of Ontario and the 2015 Green Building Wood Design Award by Ontario
Wood Works.
Proposed Development Charges Bylaw ensures equitable rates for all
development
York Regional Council received the draft 2017 Development Charge Background
Study and Bylaw which will help implement bylaw charges to help pay for growth-
related infrastructure including water, wastewater, roads, transit, subway, police,
waste diversion, public health and paramedic services over the next 15 years.

meeting on Thursday, March 9, 2017. Residents, business owners and other
stakeholders are invited to attend and comment on the proposed bylaw.

In May, after additional public consultation, staff will bring a report to Council with
the proposed bylaw. If approved, the new Development Charge Bylaw will come into
effect on Saturday, June 17, 2017.
York Regional Council supporting changes to Highway Traffic Act to
benefit communities
York Regional Council voted to adopt a resolution requesting the province to enact
regulations under the Highway Traffic Act, allowing technology-based traffic
enforcement, such as red-light cameras, to be administered by local cities and towns
through administrative penalties similar to parking tickets.
Without the amendment, cities and towns implementing and using technology in
designated areas would incur the cost of implementing and maintaining the required
technology, while administration and fine revenue would remain within the
provincial court system.
York Region housing stability and homelessness program growing to
reach more residents in need
Additional investment in The Regional Municipality of York’s homelessness and
housing stability program will bring improved access and more support options to
residents in need.
York Region will receive an increase of more than $5.1 million by 2020 through
Ontario’s Community Homelessness Prevention Initiative. In addition to improving
overall access and support options, the funding will also help the Region expand
current programs and add new initiatives such as:
Investing in and strengthening homelessness prevention and housing stability
support’s Council’s commitment under the 10-Year Housing Plan Housing

of residents and council members to review and make recommendations to Council
on key planning related-matters.
The committee is being established in response to a recent amendment to Ontario’s

back to York Regional Council later this year. The advisory committee will likely be
in place for early 2018.

The Regional Municipality of York is helping residents of all ages, stages and
income levels achieve their best possible health through prevention and early
intervention-focused programs and services.
York Region has developed a number or strategies and programs to support the
social determinants of health – the conditions in which people are born, grow, work,
live and age – including:
A recent health improvement initiative undertaken through York Region’s
Community and Health Services brought together York Region Public Health, the
Town of Richmond Hill and residents of Housing York Inc. in the Age Friendly
Communities Project. The partnership led to a community garden to increase
socialization and provide fresh produce, a food skills program to improve cooking
skills and nutrition, as well as an exercise area to increase physical activity.

York Regional Council received an update on discretionary benefits for Ontario
Works program clients.

introduced to continue supporting resident health and employability, while also
managing costs and improving administrative efficiency.
Changes include modification of adult dental service options, funding for bed

Under the Ontario Works Act, York Region’s Community and Health Services acts
as administrator for the provincial Ontario Works program. In addition to basic
financial assistance, clients are eligible for a variety of discretionary benefits, such as
dental and vision care, mobility devices, baby supplies and funeral expenses.
Social Services transformation allows for made-in-York Region solutions
Provincial legislation changes are providing York Region with increased control over
social service program funding, design, management and operation. This allows the
Region to create local solutions for programs and services that are accessible,
flexible and build economic independence for families.
Ongoing changes are impacting how all income-based benefits are accessed and
delivered across Ontario to:
York Region is already making changes to modernize social service programs,
including Child Care Fee Assistance, Children’s Community Programs, Early
Intervention Services, Social Assistance and homelessness and housing stability
programs.

To enhance and improve YRT/Viva customer travel, York Regional Council
approved amendments to the Transit Bylaw.
New offences added to the amended bylaw and subject to a fine include:
Guidelines for Municipally Collected Commercial and Institutional Waste
The Regional Municipality of York has worked with partners in our local towns and
cities to develop best practice guidelines for municipally collected waste from
commercial businesses and institutions.
In York Region, curbside waste collection is managed by local towns and cities and

waste is from single family homes and multi-residential apartments and
condominiums, and a small portion is from mixed-use commercial buildings,
heritage downtown areas, main streets, places of worship, schools, small offices and
retail buildings.
By collaborating with our local municipalities to develop best practice guidelines, we
can offer consistent practices in waste separation, collection, recycling and disposal
for commercial business and institutional properties.
Health and Safety Training
The Regional Municipality of York has obtained specialized Health and Safety
Training for its Environmental Services Department using the services of Team-1
Academy Inc.
The delivery of water and wastewater services is highly regulated and requires
specialized training for operators to ensure a safe work environment for certified
water and wastewater staff to deliver services throughout the Region.
