Executive Summary
The intent of this report is to present Council and the public with the Development
Charges Background Study and proposed by-law as required by the Development
Charges Act, 1997, S.O. 1997 (the “DCA”), c. 27, as a key final step in updating the
Town’s current Development Charges By-law #5585-14, which expires April 7, 2019.
Some key considerations include:
• A detailed consultation has already taken place with the development
community.

Item 1
Page 1 of 203
March 19, 2019 Page 2 of 10 Report No. FS19-008
• The proposed by-law differs from the Town’s current by-law in some regards.
• The proposed bylaw makes no provision for transitional rate increases or
phase-ins of the new development charges.
• The Development Charges Act provides a mechanism for members of the public
to appeal the revised development charges by-law.
The proposed bylaw once approved may remain active for a maximum of five years
from the date it is activated. Therefore, if it is activated on March 25, 2019, it may
remain active until March 26, 2024.
Background
In accordance with the Development Charges Act (DCA), each municipality’s
development charges by-law must be reviewed every five years. The Town of Aurora’s
current by-law became effective on April 8, 2014, consequently as per the DCA it will
expire on April 7, 2019.
In an effort to ensure that the Town continues to have an active development charges
(DC) by-law in place, it must undertake the following necessary steps under the DCA in
order to renew its DC by-law:
i. the completion of an updated development charges background study and
proposed DC bylaw which can be found under attachment #1; and
ii. hold a public meeting that seeks feedback from public stakeholders on the
Town’s DC Study and proposed by-law; and
iii. provide at least 20 days’ notice of its scheduled public meeting(s) which the
Town has done; and
iv. ensure that its draft DC Study and by-law were posted on its web site for 60 days
prior to the passing of the Town’s new by-law.
Any person who attends the Town’s DC Study and proposed by-law public meeting(s)
may make representations relating to the proposed by-law.
If the proposed DC by-law is changed following the public meeting, Council shall
determine whether a further meeting is necessary. Such a determination is final and not
subject to review by a court or the Ontario Municipal Board.

Item 1

March 19, 2019 Page 3 of 10 Report No. FS19-008
A Special Meeting of Council is scheduled for today for the purpose of holding the
requisite statutory Public Meeting. The Meeting was properly advertised to the public.
The public notice outlined how to obtain copies of the Background Study and draft
by-law. These documents were available from the Town’s Website in pdf format
meeting the 20 days’ notice requirement.
The Town’s consultants, Watson & Associates Economists Inc., will make a slide
presentation covering two components. First, they will conduct a short educational
session to advise members of the public and Council of the purpose, mechanism and
process for development charges and their calculations. They will then proceed to walk
through the process, content and highlights of the Background Study material, including
a discussion and comparison of the resultant proposed development charges. Following
the presentation and any questions to the presenter, the Chair of the Meeting will invite
members of the public to speak. Registered delegates will be followed by unregistered
delegates.
Staff encouraged all developers to communicate with staff in advance of the meeting on
any issues of concern or questions with respect to the Background Study or draft by-law
documents. Staff are hopeful that any concerns that have not already been addressed,
if any, can be reviewed and responses provided at this meeting.
Any new comments, questions and/or suggestions arising from the statutory public
meeting will be referred to staff for consideration
Analysis
A Development Charges Background Study (“DC Study”) has been prepared in
accordance with the DCA. The proposed draft by-law included as part of the combined
document was prepared by staff, and reviewed by Legal Services and the consultant.
The Executive Summary section of the Background Study provides an overview of the
processes, issues and results of the Background Study.
Development charges fund the expansion of services and increases of capacity of
municipal infrastructure to meet the needs of the growing community. Development
charges do not recover 100% of the costs of servicing growth, leaving some elements
and portions for the general tax levy or other sources to fund. The development charges
determined and presented for approval have been calculated in accordance with the
DCA, and optimized to the extent permitted by that legislation.

A detailed consultation has already taken place with the development community
Following the completion of the DC background study, the majority of the Town’s active
developers were invited to a consultation meeting that was held with the developers,
senior staff, and the Town’s consultant. In addition, a general invite was sent out to the
broader development community through BILD to its members. In total 15 different
developers had representation at the meeting.
Multiple items were discussed at this meeting, such as the relatively minor change in
the DC Fees proposed under the new versus current DC by-law. It was acknowledged
that residential development charges are proposed to increase by 2.7%, while non-
residential development charges are proposed to increase 3.2%.
The meeting’s presentation was provided to all attendees at their request shortly
afterwards. In addition, all attendees as well as the broader development community
were notified either directly by the Town or through BILD to its members as soon as the
Town had posted its draft DC Study and proposed by-law on its web site. Staff have
responded to multiple inquires relating to its posted draft DC study.
The proposed by-law differs from the Town’s current by-law in some regards
Staff are required to apply the Town’s development charges by-law on a daily basis.
Staff must also administer and collect development charges for the Region of York and
the school boards. Each of these entities have their own unique DC by-law with
significant differences. With this in mind staff have reviewed the Town’s existing
development charges by-law, striving to further harmonize its new draft bylaw where it is
reasonable to do so with these other entities’ bylaws. This greater harmonization will
reduce the risk of errors in DC fee collection, as well as streamline the administration
processes. The following points highlight the most significant changes in comparison to
the Town’s existing bylaw, other than the amounts of the charges.
1. Adjustment to harmonize to the Region of York’s updated actual square footage
definitions for differentiating small apartments from large apartments. In its
current DC bylaw, the Region defines a small apartment as being less than 700
square feet in size. In the Town’s current approved by-law a small apartment is
defined as being less than 650 square feet. Staff recommend that the Town
adjust its threshold to align with the Region’s in this instance.
2. The definition of a special care facility has been revised to exclude the special
care/special dwelling portions, if any, for a development of this nature.

March 19, 2019 Page 5 of 10 Report No. FS19-008
3. A new DC rate relating to the development of special care/special dwellings has
been added to the Town’s draft bylaw. This new rate has been added in
response to a growing trend of developments that are being built upon
progressive assisted living service models.
4. A new definition has been added to the Town’s draft by-law for a special
care/special dwelling. A dwelling of this nature is defined as a residential portion
of a special care facility containing rooms or suites of rooms designed or
intended to be used for sleeping and living accommodation that have a common
entrance from street level:
i. Where the occupants have the right to use in common halls, stairs, yards,
common rooms and accessory buildings;
ii. Which may or may not have exclusive sanitary and/or culinary facilities;
iii. This is designed to accommodate persons with specific needs, including,
but not limited to, independent permanent living arrangements; and
iv. Where support services such as meal preparation, grocery shopping,
laundry, housekeeping, nursing, respite care and attendant services may
be provided at various levels.
5. Provision 3.9 relating to hotels and motels has been removed. By removing this
clause, any future hotel and motel development will be subject to the Town’s
standard non-residential charge. In recognition that the Town is now
approaching full hotel and motel build out, a specific category of this nature is no
longer required.
The proposed bylaw makes no provision for transitional rate increases or phase-
ins of the new development charges
The draft by-law makes no provision for transitional rate increases or phase-ins of the
new development charges. Any such phase-in arrangement would result in the
developers paying less than optimal costs of servicing the growth of the community and
would represent lost revenues, as they cannot be recovered through higher charges in
the new bylaw.

The Development Charges Act provides a mechanism for members of the public to
appeal the revised development charges by-law
The Development Charges Act provides a mechanism for members of the public to
appeal the revised development charges by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board (the
“OMB”) within forty days following adoption by the Council. The OMB then hears and
makes final decision on the matte. However, until the decision of the OMB is issued,
the adopted by-law remains in effect, and development charges as set out therein
remain due and payable.

Legal Considerations
As per the Development Charges Act, 1997, the Town must have an active DC By-law
in place in order to enable the Town’s legal capability to collect development charges.
Before passing the proposed by-law that accompanied the DC Study, the Town is
required to have this public meeting. Any person who attends the meeting may make
representations to Council. Council may direct staff to make any of the changes as
recommended by staff in this report to the proposed by-law. Upon Council making any
changes to the proposed by-law, Council may decide that no further public notice is
required before the passing of the DC By-law. In this respect, Council’s decision would
be final.
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 in order 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 DC Act.
The Town plans to spend $115.83 million over the next five years in response to growth,
of which $75.48 million (65%) is recoverable from development charges. The
remainder of this planned spend must come from other funding sources, such as the tax
levy, water rates, grants, subsidies and other contributions.

It is important to keep in perspective that the Town’s development charge is only one of
three development charges applicable to development within the Town. York Region and
educational development charges are also applicable. The following charts outline the
proportions should the updated draft bylaw be enacted:
Communications Considerations
This report will be made available on the Town’s web site for the public’s consumption.
In addition, the Town has provided notice to the public of this public meeting of Council
at least 20 clear days ahead of it taking place as per s. 12(1) of the Development
Charges Act. Also, notification of this meeting was also published in a newspaper that
was, in the clerk’s opinion, of sufficient general circulation in the area to which the
proposed by-law would apply in order to give the public reasonable notice of this
planned meeting. Finally, notification as to this meeting was issued via the Town’s web
site and other social media channels.

Link to Strategic Plan
Setting a 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
Delays in the implementation of the new bylaw would allow the current development
charges by-law to lapse and disable the Town’s legal capability to collect development
charges until such time the new bylaw is enacted. The old bylaw cannot be extended.
Council may however direct staff to make any changes to the draft bylaw, or to respond
to accommodate any specific concerns or issues raised by members of the public at the
meeting. In such a circumstance, clearly worded motions should be considered.
Conclusions
Staff recommend that the comments, questions and suggestions arising from this
statutory public meeting be referred back to staff for consideration, if any.

2. D.C.s provide for the recovery of growth-related capital expenditures from new
development. The D.C.A. is the statutory basis to recover these charges. The
methodology is detailed in Chapter 4; a simplified summary is provided below:
1) Identify amount, type and location of growth;
2) Identify servicing needs to accommodate growth;
3) Identify capital costs to provide services to meet the needs;
4) Deduct:
x Grants, subsidies and other contributions;
x Benefit to existing development;
x Statutory 10% deduction (soft services);
x Amounts in excess of 10-year historic service calculation;
x D.C. reserve funds (where applicable);

5) Net costs are then allocated between residential and non-residential benefit;
and
6) Net costs divided by growth to provide the D.C. charge.
3. A number of changes to the D.C. process need to be addressed as a result of Bill
73. These changes have been incorporated throughout the report and in the
updated draft by-law, as necessary. These items include:
a. Area-rating: Council must consider the use of area-specific charges.
b. Asset Management Plan for New Infrastructure: The D.C. background
study must include an asset management plan that deals with all assets
proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The asset
management plan must show that the assets are financially sustainable
over their full lifecycle.
c. 60-day Circulation Period: The D.C. background study must be released
to the public at least 60-days prior to passage of the D.C. by-law.
d. Timing of Collection of Development Charges: The D.C.A. now requires
D.C.s to be collected at the time of the first building permit.
4. The growth forecast (Chapter 3) on which the Town-wide D.C. is based, projects
the following population, housing and non-residential floor area for the 10-year
(2019 to 2028) and 13-year (2019 to 2031) periods.
5. On April 8, 2014, the Town of Aurora passed By-law 5585-14 under the D.C.A.
The by-law imposes D.C.s on residential and non-residential uses. The by-law
will expire on April 7, 2019. The Town is undertaking a D.C. public process and

anticipates passing a new by-law in advance of the expiry date. The mandatory
public meeting has been set for March 19, 2019 with adoption of the by-law on
March 26, 2019.
6. The Town’s D.C.s currently in effect are $23,224 for single detached dwelling
units for full services. Non-residential charges are $4.24 per square foot for full
services. This report has undertaken a recalculation of the charge based on
future identified needs (presented in Schedule ES-1 for residential and non-
residential). Charges have been provided on a Town-wide basis for all services.
The corresponding single detached unit charge is $23,844. The non-residential
charge is $4.37 per square foot of building area. These rates are submitted to
Council for its consideration.
7. The D.C.A. requires a summary be provided of the gross capital costs and the
net costs to be recovered over the life of the by-law. This calculation is provided
by service and is presented in Table 6-5. A summary of these costs is provided
below:
Hence, $40.35 million (or an annual amount of $8.07 million) will need to be
contributed from taxes and rates, or other sources. Of this amount, $27.11
million will be included in subsequent D.C. study updates to reflect the portion of
capital that benefits growth in the post period D.C. forecasts.
Based on the above table, the Town plans to spend $115.83 million over the next
five years, of which $75.48 million (65%) is recoverable from D.C.s. Of this net
amount, $63.18 million is recoverable from residential development and $12.29
million from non-residential development. It is noted also that any exemptions or
reductions in the charges would reduce this recovery further.
Total gross expenditures planned over the next five years 115,829,541$
Less:
Benefit to existing development 7,362,889$
Post planning period benefit 27,107,089$

8. Considerations by Council – The background study represents the service needs
arising from residential and non-residential growth over the forecast periods.
The following services are calculated based on an 13-year (2031) forecast:
x Services Related to a Highway;
x Fire Services;
x Water Supply and Distribution Services; and
x Wastewater Services.
All other services are calculated based on a 10-year forecast. These include:
x Municipal Parking Spaces;
x Outdoor Recreation Services;
x Indoor Recreation Facilities;
x Library Services; and
x General Government (Studies).
Council will consider the findings and recommendations provided in the report
and, in conjunction with public input, approve such policies and rates it deems
appropriate. These directions will refine the draft D.C. by-law which is appended
in Appendix G. These decisions may include:
x adopting the charges and policies recommended herein;
x considering additional exemptions to the by-law; and
x considering reductions in the charge by class of development (obtained by
removing certain services on which the charge is based and/or by a
general reduction in the charge).

1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose of this Document
This background study has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the D.C.A.
(s.10) and, accordingly, recommends new D.C.s and policies for the Town of Aurora.
The Town retained Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. (Watson), to undertake the
D.C.s (D.C.) study process. Watson worked with Town staff in preparing the D.C.
analysis and policy recommendations.
This D.C. background study, containing the proposed D.C. by-law, will be distributed to
members of the public in order to provide interested parties with sufficient background
information on the legislation, the study’s recommendations and an outline of the basis
for these recommendations.
This report has been prepared, in the first instance, to meet the statutory requirements
applicable to the Town’s D.C. background study, as summarized in Chapter 4. It also
addresses the requirement for “rules” (contained in Chapter 7) and the proposed by-law
to be made available as part of the approval process (included as Appendix G).
In addition, the report is designed to set out sufficient background on the legislation
(Chapter 4), Aurora’s current D.C. policies (Chapter 2) and the policies underlying the
proposed by-law, to make the exercise understandable to those who are involved.
Finally, it addresses post-adoption implementation requirements (Chapter 8) which are
critical to the successful application of the new policy.
The Chapters in the report are supported by Appendices containing the data required to
explain and substantiate the calculation of the charge. A full discussion of the statutory
requirements for the preparation of a background study and calculation of a D.C. is
provided herein.
1.2 Summary of the Process
The public meeting required under Section 12 of the D.C.A., has been scheduled for
March 19, 2019. Its purpose is to present the study to the public and to solicit public

1.3 Changes to the D.C.A.: Bill 73
With the amendment of the D.C.A. (as a result of Bill 73 and O.Reg. 428/15), there are
a number of areas that must be addressed to ensure that the Town is in compliance
with the D.C.A., as amended. The following provides an explanation of the changes to
the Act that affect the Town’s Background Study and how they have been dealt with to
ensure compliance with the amended legislation.
1.3.1 Area Rating
Bill 73 has introduced two new sections where Council must consider the use of area-
specific charges:
1) Section 2(9) of the Act now requires a municipality to implement area-specific
D.C.s for either specific services which are prescribed and/or for specific
municipalities which are to be regulated. (Note that at this time, no municipalities
or services are prescribed by the Regulations.)
2) Section 10(2)c.1 of the D.C.A. requires that, “the development charges
background study shall include consideration of the use of more than one
development charge by-law to reflect different needs for services in different
areas.”
In regard to the first item, there are no services or specific municipalities identified in the
regulations which must be area-rated. The second item requires Council to consider
the use of area rating.
1.3.2 Asset Management Plan for New Infrastructure
The new legislation now requires that a D.C. background study must include an Asset
Management Plan (s.10 (2) c.2). The asset management plan must deal with all assets
that are proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The current regulations
provide very extensive and specific requirements for the asset management plan
related to transit services; however, they are silent with respect to how the asset
management plan is to be provided for all other services. As part of any asset
management plan, the examination should be consistent with the municipality’s existing
assumptions, approaches and policies on asset management planning. This

Tuesday, March 19, 2019

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 1-4
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
examination may include both qualitative and quantitative measures such as examining
the annual future lifecycle contributions needs (discussed further in Appendix F of this
report).
1.3.3 60-Day Circulation of D.C. Background Study
Previously the legislation required that a D.C. background study be made available to
the public at least two weeks prior to the public meeting. The amended legislation now
provides that the D.C. background study must be made available to the public (including
posting on the municipal website) at least 60 days prior to passage of the D.C. by-law.
No other changes were made to timing requirements for such things as notice of the
public meeting and notice of by-law passage.
This D.C. study is being provided to the public on January 24, 2019 to ensure the new
requirements for release of the study is met.
1.3.4 Timing of Collection of D.C.s
The D.C.A. has been refined by Bill 73 to require that D.C.s are collected at the time of
the first building permit. For the majority of development, this will not impact the Town’s
present process. There may be instances, however, where several building permits are
to be issued and either the size of the development or the uses will not be definable at
the time of the first building permit. In these instances, the Town may enter into a
delayed payment agreement in order to capture the full development.
1.3.5 Other Changes
It is also noted that a number of other changes were made through Bill 73 and O.Reg.
428/15 including changes to the way in which Transit D.C. service standards are
calculated, the inclusion of Waste Diversion and the ability for collection of additional
levies; however, these sections do not impact the Town’s D.C.

2.3 Timing of D.C. Calculation and Payment
D.C.s are payable at the time of building permit issuance and are collected by the Town
of Aurora Building Department. Where applicable, a D.C. for Town-wide engineered
services shall be payable upon execution of a vacant land condominium agreement, a
development agreement, or a subdivision agreement with the remaining applicable
portions of the D.C. to be payable at issuance permit as above.

As a result of the redevelopment of land, a building or structure existing on the same
land within four (4) years prior to the date of payment of D.C.s in respect of such
redevelopment was, or is to be: (i) demolished, in whole or in part; (ii) relocated from the
lands; or (ii) converted from one principal use to another principal use on the same land,
then the D.C. otherwise payable with respect to such redevelopment shall be reduced
by the following amounts:
(a) in the case of a residential or mixed-use building or structure containing
residential uses, an amount calculated by multiplying the applicable D.C. under
subsections 3.6 or 3.7 of this By-law by the number, according to type, of
dwelling units that have been or will be demolished, relocated from the lands, or
converted to another principal use; or
(b) in the case of a non-residential building or structure, or in the case of mixed-use
building or structure, the non-residential uses in the mixed-use building or
structure, an amount calculated by multiplying the applicable D.C.s under

3. Anticipated Development in the Town of Aurora
3.1 Requirement of the Act
Chapter 4 provides the methodology for calculating a D.C. as per the D.C.A. Figure 4-1
presents this methodology graphically. It is noted in the first box of the schematic that in
order to determine the D.C. that may be imposed, it is a requirement of Section 5 (1) of
the D.C.A. that “the anticipated amount, type and location of development, for which
development charges can be imposed, must be estimated.”
The growth forecast contained in this chapter (with supplemental tables in Appendix A)
provides for the anticipated development for which the Town of Aurora will be required
to provide services, over a 10-year (mid-2019 to mid-2029) and a longer term (mid 2019
to mid-2031) time horizon.
3.2 Basis of Population, Household and Non-Residential
Gross Floor Area Forecast
The D.C. growth forecast has been derived from the York Region, 2041 Preferred
Growth Scenario, 2041 Population and Employment Forecasts Report, November 2015,
which is consistent with Schedule 3 of the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden
Horseshoe (G.G.H.), Ministry of Infrastructure, June 2013. In compiling the growth
forecast, the following additional information sources were consulted to help assess the
residential and non-residential development potential for the Town of Aurora over the
forecast period, including:
x The Town of Aurora Development Charge Background Study and Proposed By-
Law, Watson & Associates Economists Ltd., March 12, 2014 (As Amended April
8th, 2014);
x Town of Aurora Planning Application Status List, September 11, 2018;
x Town of Aurora Official Plan, September 2010;
x Town of Aurora Vacant Employment Land Inventory Report, January 2018;
x York Region Mid-2018 Housing Stock and Population Estimates by York Region,
Corporate Services, Long Range Planning Branch, June 30, 2018;

period;
x Residential supply (in the development process and other designated residential
lands) along with residential intensification opportunities as provided by the Town
of Aurora Planning and Development Services department; and
Non-residential supply opportunities as provided by the Town of Aurora Planning and
Development Services department.
3.3 Summary of Growth Forecast
A detailed analysis of the residential and non-residential growth forecasts is provided in
Appendix A and the methodology employed is illustrated in Figure 3-1. The discussion
provided herein summarizes the anticipated growth for the Town and describes the
basis for the forecast. The results of the residential growth forecast analysis are
summarized in Table 3-1 below, and Schedule 1 in Appendix A.
As identified in Table 3-1 and Appendix A, Schedule 1, the Town’s population is
anticipated to reach approximately 71,120 by mid-2029 and 72,590 by mid-2031,
resulting in an increase of 11,690 and 13,160 persons, respectively, over the 10-year
and longer term (2019 to 2031) forecast periods.1
1 The population figures used in the calculation of the 2019 D.C. exclude the net
Census undercount, which is estimated at approximately 3.5%.

1. Unit Mix (Appendix A – Schedules 1, 5, and 6)
x The unit mix for the Town was derived from a detailed review of historical
development activity (as per Schedule 6), as well as active residential
development applications and other designated lands and intensification
opportunities (as per Schedule 5).
x Based on the above indicators, the 2019 to 2031 household growth
forecast is comprised of a unit mix of 40% low density (single detached
and semi-detached), 22% medium density (multiples except apartments)
and 38% high density (bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom apartments).
2. Geographic Location of Residential Development
a. In accordance with forecast demand and available land supply, all housing
growth will occur within the Urban Boundary.
3. Planning Period
x Short and longer-term time horizons are required for the D.C. process.
The D.C.A. limits the planning horizon for certain services, such as parks,
recreation and libraries, to a 10-year planning horizon. Services related to
a highway, public works, fire, police, stormwater, water and wastewater
services can utilize a longer planning period.
4. Population in New Units (Appendix A - Schedules 2, 3 and 4)
x The number of housing units to be constructed in the Town of Aurora
during the short- and long-term periods is presented on Figure 3-2. Over
the 2019 to 2031 forecast period, the Town is anticipated to average of
approximately 423 new housing units per year, respectively.
x The institutional population1 is anticipated to grow by 172 persons
between 2019 to 2031.
x Population in new units is derived from Schedules 2, 3, and 4, which
incorporate historical development activity, anticipated units (see unit mix
1 Institutional includes special care facilities such as nursing home or residences for
senior citizens. A P.P.U. of 1.100 depicts 1-bedroom and 2 or more bedroom units in

discussion) and average persons per unit (P.P.U.) by dwelling type for
new units.
x Schedule 7 summarizes the P.P.U. for the new housing units by age and
type of dwelling based on a 2016 custom Census data. The total
calculated P.P.U. for all density types has been adjusted to account for the
upward P.P.U. trend which has been recently experienced in both new
and older units. Forecasted 15-year average P.P.U.s by dwelling type are
as follows:
o Low density: 3.570
o Medium density: 2.654
o High density1: 1.837
o Institutional density 1.100
5. Existing Units and Population Change (Appendix A - Schedules 2, 3 and 4)
x Existing households for mid-2019 are based on the 2016 Census
households, plus estimated residential units constructed between mid-
2016 and 2018 assuming a 6-month lag between construction and
occupancy (see Schedule 2).
x The decline in average occupancy levels for existing housing units is
calculated in Schedules 2 through 4, by aging the existing population over
the forecast period. The forecast population decline in existing
households over the 2019 to 2031 forecast period is approximately 750.
6. Employment (Appendix A, Schedules 9a, 9b, 10 and 11)
x Employment projections are largely based on the activity rate method,
which is defined as the number of jobs in a municipality divided by the
number of residents. Key employment sectors include primary, industrial,
commercial/ population-related, institutional, and work at home, which are
considered individually below.
1 Includes bachelor, 1-bedroom and 2 or more bedroom apartments

x 2016 employment data1 (place of work) for the Town of Aurora is outlined
in Schedule 9a. The 2016 employment base is comprised of the following
sectors:
x 80 primary (<1%);
x 2,895 work at home employment (11%);
x 5,030 industrial (20%);
x 10,230 commercial/population related (40%); and
x 7,045 institutional (28%).
x The 2016 employment by usual place of work, including work at home, is
estimated at 25,280. An additional 2,880 employees have been identified
for the Town in 2016 that have no fixed place of work (N.F.P.O.W.).2 The
2016 employment base, including N.F.P.O.W., totals approximately
28,160.
x Total employment, including work at home and N.F.P.O.W., for the Town
of Aurora is anticipated to reach approximately 36,300 by mid-2029 and
37,000 by mid-2031. This represents an employment increase of 6,920
for the 10-year forecast period and 7,620 for the 2019 to 2031 forecast
period.
x Schedule 9b, Appendix A, summarizes the employment forecast,
excluding work at home employment and N.F.P.O.W. employment, which
is the basis for the D.C. employment forecast. The impact on municipal
services from work at home employees has already been included in the
population forecast. The need for municipal services related to
N.F.P.O.W. employees has largely been included in the employment
forecast by usual place of work (i.e. employment and gross floor area
generated from N.F.P.O.W. construction employment). Furthermore,
since these employees have no fixed work address, they cannot be
captured in the non-residential gross floor area (G.F.A.) calculation.
1 2016 employment estimated by Watson & Associates Economists Ltd.
2 Statistics Canada defines "No Fixed Place of Work" (N.F.P.O.W.) employees as,
"persons who do not go from home to the same work place location at the beginning of
each shift. Such persons include building and landscape contractors, travelling
salespersons, independent truck drivers, etc.”

x Total employment for the Town of Aurora (excluding work at home and
N.F.P.O.W. employment) is anticipated to reach approximately 28,890 by
mid-2029 and 29,430 by mid-2031. This represents an employment
increase of 5,700 and 6,250 over the 10-year and longer-term forecast
periods, respectively.
7. Non-Residential Sq.ft. Estimates (Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.), Appendix A,
Schedule 9b)
x Square footage estimates were calculated in Schedule 9b based on the
following employee density assumptions:
o 950 sq.ft. per employee for industrial;
o 421 sq.ft. per employee for commercial/population-related; and
o 700 sq.ft. per employee for institutional employment.
x The Town-wide incremental Gross Floor Area (G.F.A.) increase is
anticipated to be 4.09 million sq.ft. over the 10-year forecast period and
4.42 million sq.ft. over the 2019 to 2031 forecast period.
x In terms of percentage growth, the 2019 to 2031 incremental G.F.A.
forecast by sector is broken down as follows:
1. industrial – 68%;
2. commercial/population-related – 25%; and
3. institutional – 7%.

4. The Approach to the Calculation of the Charge
4.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the requirements of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A. with respect to the
establishment of the need for service which underpins the D.C. calculation. These
requirements are illustrated schematically in Figure 4-1.
4.2 Services Potentially Involved
Table 4-1 lists the full range of municipal service categories which are provided within
the Town.
A number of these services are defined in s.s.2(4) of the D.C.A. as being ineligible for
inclusion in D.C.s. These are shown as “ineligible” on Table 4-1. Two ineligible costs
defined in s.s.5(3) of the D.C.A. are “computer equipment” and “rolling stock with an
estimated useful life of (less than) seven years...” In addition, local roads are covered
separately under subdivision agreements and related means (as are other local
services). Services which are potentially eligible for inclusion in the Town’s D.C. are
indicated with a “Yes.”
4.3 Increase in the Need for Service
The D.C. calculation commences with an estimate of “the increase in the need for
service attributable to the anticipated development,” for each service to be covered by
the by-law. There must be some form of link or attribution between the anticipated
development and the estimated increase in the need for service. While the need could
conceivably be expressed generally in terms of units of capacity, s.s.5(1)3, which
requires that Town Council indicate that it intends to ensure that such an increase in
need will be met, suggests that a project-specific expression of need would be most
appropriate.

4.4 Local Service Policy
Some of the need for services generated by additional development consists of local
services related to a plan of subdivision. As such, they will be required as a condition of
subdivision agreements or consent conditions. The Town’s policy is provided in
Appendix E to this report.
4.5 Capital Forecast
Paragraph 7 of s.s.5(1) of the D.C.A. requires that “the capital costs necessary to
provide the increased services must be estimated.” The Act goes on to require two
potential cost reductions and the Regulation sets out the way in which such costs are to
be presented. These requirements are outlined below.
These estimates involve capital costing of the increased services discussed above.
This entails costing actual projects or the provision of service units, depending on how
each service has been addressed.
The capital costs include:
a) costs to acquire land or an interest therein (including a leasehold interest);
b) costs to improve land;
c) costs to acquire, lease, construct or improve buildings and structures;
d) costs to acquire, lease or improve facilities, including rolling stock (with a useful
life of 7 or more years), furniture and equipment (other than computer
equipment), materials acquired for library circulation, reference or information
purposes;
e) interest on money borrowed to pay for the above-referenced costs;
f) costs to undertake studies in connection with the above-referenced matters; and
g) costs of the D.C. background study.
In order for an increase in need for service to be included in the D.C. calculation, Town
Council must indicate “...that it intends to ensure that such an increase in need will be
met” (s.s.5 (1)3). This can be done if the increase in service forms part of a Council-
approved Official Plan, capital forecast or similar expression of the intention of Council

H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
(O.Reg. 82/98 s.3). The capital program contained herein reflects the Town’s approved
and proposed capital budgets and master servicing/needs studies.
4.6 Treatment of Credits
Section 8, paragraph 5, of O.Reg. 82/98 indicates that a D.C. background study must
set out “the estimated value of credits that are being carried forward relating to the
service.” Subsection 17, paragraph 4, of the same Regulation indicates that “...the
value of the credit cannot be recovered from future D.C.s,” if the credit pertains to an
ineligible service. This implies that a credit for eligible services can be recovered from
future D.C.s. As a result, this provision should be made in the calculation, in order to
avoid a funding shortfall with respect to future service needs. Outstanding credit
obligations have been included in the D.C. calculations.
4.7 Existing Reserve Funds
Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that:
“The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only
for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 8 of subsection 5(1).”
There is no explicit requirement under the D.C.A. calculation method set out in s.s.5(1)
to net the outstanding reserve fund balance as part of making the D.C. calculation;
however, s.35 does restrict the way in which the funds are used in future.
For services which are subject to a per capita based, service level “cap,” the reserve
fund balance should be applied against the development-related costs for which the
charge was imposed once the project is constructed (i.e. the needs of recent growth).
This cost component is distinct from the development-related costs for the next 10-year
period, which underlie the D.C. calculation herein.
The alternative would involve the Town spending all reserve fund monies prior to
renewing each by-law, which would not be a sound basis for capital budgeting. Thus,
the Town will use these reserve funds for the Town’s cost share of applicable
development-related projects, which are required but have not yet been undertaken, as
a way of directing the funds to the benefit of the development which contributed them

(rather than to future development, which will generate the need for additional facilities
directly proportionate to future growth).
The Town’s D.C. Reserve Fund Balance by service at December 31, 2018 is shown
below:
Note: Amounts in brackets are Deficit balances.
4.8 Deductions
The D.C.A. potentially requires that five deductions be made to the increase in the need
for service. These relate to:
x the level of service ceiling;
x uncommitted excess capacity;
x benefit to existing development;
x anticipated grants, subsidies and other contributions; and
x 10% reduction for certain services.
The requirements behind each of these reductions are addressed as follows:
4.8.1 Reduction Required by Level of Service Ceiling
This is designed to ensure that the increase in need included in 4.3 does “…not include
an increase that would result in the level of service (for the additional development
increment) exceeding the average level of the service provided in the Municipality over
the 10-year period immediately preceding the preparation of the background study…”
O.Reg. 82.98 (s.4) goes further to indicate that “…both the quantity and quality of a

service shall be taken into account in determining the level of service and the average
level of service.”
In many cases, this can be done by establishing a quantity measure in terms of units as
floor area, land area or road length per capita and a quality measure, in terms of the
average cost of providing such units based on replacement costs, engineering
standards or recognized performance measurement systems, depending on
circumstances. When the quantity and quality factor are multiplied together, they
produce a measure of the level of service, which meets the requirements of the Act, i.e.
cost per unit.
With respect to transit services, the changes to the Act as a result of Bill 73 have
provided for an alternative method for calculating the services standard ceiling. Transit
services must now utilize a forward-looking service standard analysis, described later in
this section.
The average service level calculation sheets for each service component in the D.C.
calculation are set out in Appendix B.
4.8.2 Reduction for Uncommitted Excess Capacity
Paragraph 5 of s.s.5(1) requires a deduction from the increase in the need for service
attributable to the anticipated development that can be met using the Town’s “excess
capacity,” other than excess capacity which is “committed.”
“Excess capacity” is undefined, but in this case must be able to meet some or all of the
increase in need for service, in order to potentially represent a deduction. The
deduction of uncommitted excess capacity from the future increase in the need for
service would normally occur as part of the conceptual planning and feasibility work
associated with justifying and sizing new facilities, e.g. if a road widening to
accommodate increased traffic is not required because sufficient excess capacity is
already available, then widening would not be included as an increase in need, in the
first instance.
4.8.3 Reduction for Benefit to Existing Development
Section 5(1)6 of the D.C.A. provides that, “The increase in the need for service must be
reduced by the extent to which an increase in service to meet the increased need would

H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
benefit existing development.” The general guidelines used to consider benefit to
existing development included the following:
x the repair or unexpanded replacement of existing assets that are in need of
repair;
x an increase in average service level of quantity or quality (compare water as an
example);
x the elimination of a chronic servicing problem not created by growth; and
x providing services where none previously existed (generally considered for water
or wastewater services).
This step involves a further reduction in the need, by the extent to which such an
increase in service would benefit existing development. The level of services cap in 4.4
is related but is not the identical requirement. Sanitary, storm and water trunks are
highly localized to growth areas and can be more readily allocated in this regard than
other services such as services related to a highway, which do not have a fixed service
area.
Where existing development has an adequate service level which will not be tangibly
increased by an increase in service, no benefit would appear to be involved. For
example, where expanding existing library facilities simply replicates what existing
residents are receiving, they receive very limited (or no) benefit as a result. On the
other hand, where a clear existing service problem is to be remedied, a deduction
should be made accordingly.
In the case of services such as recreation facilities, community parks, libraries, etc., the
service is typically provided on a Town-wide system basis. For example, facilities of the
same type may provide different services (i.e. leisure pool vs. competitive pool),
different programs (i.e. hockey vs. figure skating) and different time availability for the
same service (i.e. leisure skating available on Wednesday in one arena and Thursday in
another). As a result, residents will travel to different facilities to access the services
they want at the times they wish to use them, and facility location generally does not
correlate directly with residence location. Even where it does, displacing users from an
existing facility to a new facility frees up capacity for use by others and generally results
in only a very limited benefit to existing development. Further, where an increase in
demand is not met for a number of years, a negative service impact to existing
development is involved for a portion of the planning period.

4.8.4 Reduction for Anticipated Grants, Subsidies and Other
Contributions
This step involves reducing the capital costs necessary to provide the increased
services by capital grants, subsidies and other contributions (including direct developer
contributions required due to the local service policy) made or anticipated by Council
and in accordance with various rules such as the attribution between the share related
to new vs. existing development. That is, some grants and contributions may not
specifically be applicable to growth or where Council targets fundraising as a measure
to offset impacts on taxes (O.Reg. 82.98 s.6).
4.8.5 The 10% Reduction
Paragraph 8 of s.s. (1) of the D.C.A. requires that, “the capital costs must be reduced by
10 percent.” This paragraph does not apply to water supply services, waste water
services, storm water drainage and control services, services related to a highway,
police and fire protection services. The primary services to which the 10% reduction
does apply include services such as parks, recreation, libraries, childcare/social
services, the Provincial Offences Act, ambulance, homes for the aged, and health.
The 10% is to be netted from the capital costs necessary to provide the increased
services, once the other deductions have been made, as per the infrastructure costs
sheets in Chapter 5.
4.9 Municipal-wide vs. Area Rating
This step involves determining whether all of the subject costs are to be recovered on a
uniform municipal-wide basis or whether some or all are to be recovered on an area-
specific basis. Under the amended D.C.A., it is now mandatory to “consider” area-rating
of services (providing charges for specific areas and services), however, it is not
mandatory to implement area-rating. Further discussion is provided in section 7.4.4.
4.10 Allocation of Development
This step involves relating the costs involved to anticipated development for each period
under consideration and using allocations between residential and non-residential

development and between one type of development and another, to arrive at a schedule
of charges.
4.11 Asset Management
The new legislation now requires that a D.C. Background Study must include an Asset
Management Plan (s. 10 (2)c.2). The asset management plan must deal with all assets
that are proposed to be funded, in whole or in part, by D.C.s. The current regulations
provide very extensive and specific requirements for the asset management plan
related to transit services (as noted in the subsequent subsection); however, they are
silent with respect to how the asset management plan is to be provided for all other
services. As part of any asset management plan, the examination should be consistent
with the municipality’s existing assumptions, approaches and policies on the asset
management planning. This examination has been included in Appendix F.
4.12 Transit
The most significant changes to the Act relate to the transit service. These changes
relate to four areas of the calculations, as follows:
A. Transit no longer requires the statutory 10% mandatory deduction from the net
capital cost (section 5.2(i) of the D.C.A.).
B. The Background Study requires the following in regard to transit costs (as per
section 8(2) of the Regulations):
1. The calculations that were used to prepare the estimate for the planned level
of service for the transit services, as mentioned in subsection 5.2(3) of the
Act.
2. An identification of the portion of the total estimated capital cost relating to the
transit services that would benefit,
i. the anticipated development over the 10-year period immediately
following the preparation of the background study, or
ii. the anticipated development after the 10-year period immediately
following the preparation of the background study.

3. An identification of the anticipated excess capacity that would exist at the end
of the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the background
study.
4. An assessment of ridership forecasts for all modes of transit services
proposed to be funded by the development charge over the 10-year period
immediately following the preparation of the background study, categorized
by development types, and whether the forecasted ridership will be from
existing or planned development.
5. An assessment of the ridership capacity for all modes of transit services
proposed to be funded by the development charge over the 10-year period
immediately following the preparation of the background study.
C. A new forward-looking service standard (as per 6.1(2) of the Regulations):
1. The service is a discrete service.
2. No portion of the service that is intended to benefit anticipated development
after the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the
background study may be included in the estimate.
3. No portion of the service that is anticipated to exist as excess capacity at the
end of the 10-year period immediately following the preparation of the
background study may be included in the estimate.
D. A very detailed asset management strategy and reporting requirements (section
6.1(3) of the Regulation) that includes lifecycle costs, action plans that will enable
the assets to be sustainable, summary of how to achieve the proposed level of
service, discussion on procurement measures and risk.
The Town does not currently provide transit services. Therefore, the above calculations
and reporting requirements are not required.

5. D.C.-Eligible Cost Analysis by Service
5.1 Introduction
This chapter outlines the basis for calculating eligible costs for the D.C.s to be applied
on a uniform basis. In each case, the required calculation process set out in s.5(1)
paragraphs 2 to 8 in the D.C.A. and described in Chapter 4, was followed in determining
D.C. eligible costs.
The nature of the capital projects and timing identified in the Chapter reflects Council’s
current intention. However, over time, Town projects and Council priorities change and
accordingly, Council’s intentions may alter and different capital projects (and timing)
may be required to meet the need for services required by new growth.
5.2 Service Levels and 10-Year Capital Costs for D.C.
Calculation
This section evaluates the development-related capital requirements for all of the
“softer” services over a 10-year planning period. Each service component is evaluated
on two format sheets: the average historical 10-year level of service calculation (see
Appendix B), which “caps” the D.C. amounts; and, the infrastructure cost calculation,
which determines the potential D.C. recoverable cost.
5.2.1 General Government (Studies)
The D.C.A. permits the inclusion of studies undertaken to facilitate the completion of the
Town’s capital works program. The Town has made provision for the inclusion of new
studies undertaken to facilitate this D.C. process, as well as other studies which benefit
growth (in whole or in part). The list of studies includes such studies as the following:
x Water and wastewater related studies;
x Stormwater master plans;
x Parks and recreation master plans;
x Fire master plans;
x Transportation related studies;
x Official plan;

x Development Charge studies;
x Long range fiscal studies; and
x Other growth-related studies.
The cost of these studies is $5,235,526, which includes the reserve fund deficit of
$667,126. After deductions in the amounts of $214,000 for post period benefit and
$928,550 for existing benefit have been made, the net growth-related capital cost (after
the mandatory 10% deduction) to be included in the D.C. is $4,012,676.
These costs have been allocated 67% residential and 33% non-residential based on the
incremental growth in population to employment for the 10-year forecast period.

Aurora currently provides 140 parking spaces throughout the Town. This equates to
$20/capita in parking services which provides $237,114 in D.C. eligible funding over the
10-year forecast period.
The Town has identified a need for a parking lot expansion to service the Yonge St.
redevelopment. This expansion is estimated to cost $400,000. After the application of
the reserve fund balance and the 10% mandatory deduction, $20,535 has been
included in the D.C. calculations.
The growth-related costs for parking have been allocated 67% residential and 33% non-
residential based on the incremental growth in population to employment, for the 10-

5.2.3 Outdoor Recreation Services
5.2.3.1 Parkland and Park Facilities
The Town currently has 292.8 hectares of parkland within its jurisdiction. This parkland
consists of various sized parkettes, parks, natural parks and open space area. The
Town has sustained the current level of service over the historical 10-year period (2009-
2018), with an average of 5.1 hectares of parkland, 1,247 square metres of trails, and
4.1 parkland amenities items per 1,000 population. Including parkland, parkland
amenities (e.g. ball diamonds, playground equipment, soccer fields, etc.), and park
trails, the level of service provided is approximately $1,788 per capita. When applied
over the forecast period, this average level of service translates into a D.C.-eligible
amount of $20,906,645.
In addition to parkland, the Town currently operates out of 28,560 sq.ft. of park-related
facilities (this includes the 41% Parks share of the Joint Operations Centre). Based on
the level of service provided of $127 per capita, it provides a D.C.-eligible amount of
$1,490,028.
Therefore, the total D.C.-eligible for parkland and park facilities is $22,396,494.
Based on the projected growth over the 10-year forecast period, the Town has identified
$23.3 million in future growth capital costs for parkland development. These projects
include, new sports fields, the development of additional parks, including amenities and
trails. In addition, the Town has included the outstanding debenture recovery of
$2,414,600 (discounted) for the Joint Operations Centre (parks portion), and the reserve
fund deficit of $11,842,693, for a gross total cost of $35,147,693. After deductions for
post period benefit of $12,592,000 and the mandatory 10% deduction, the net amount
of $21,725,853 has been included in the D.C.
5.2.3.2 Park Vehicles and Equipment
The Town operates and maintains a total of 88 parks-related vehicles and equipment.
The historical 10-year average level of service is $35 per capita and provides a D.C.-
eligible amount of $408,518.

5.2.4 Indoor Recreation Facilities
With respect to recreation facilities, the Town provides a total of 364,575 sq.ft. of space.
The average historic level of service for the previous ten years has been approximately
6.99 sq.ft. of space per capita or an investment of $2,628 per capita. Based on this
service standard, the Town would be eligible to collect $30,723,185 from D.C.s for
facility space.
The Town has provided for the need additional recreation facilities as well as the
recovery of an outstanding debenture. The gross capital cost of these projects is

discounted). A deduction in the amount of $3,540,970 has been made to reflect the
balance in the D.C. reserve fund. Therefore, the net growth capital cost after the
mandatory 10% deduction of $27,681,075 has been included in the D.C.
While indoor recreation service usage is predominately residential-based, there is some
use of the facility by non-residential users. To acknowledge this use, the growth-related

5.3.2 Fire Services
The Town of Aurora currently shares its Fire services with the Town of Newmarket and
is responsible for 41% of the service. Based on Aurora’s share of the service, the Town
operates out of 24,481 sq.ft. of facility space, providing for a per capita average level of
service of 0.43 sq.ft. per capita or $310 per capita. This level of service provides the
Town with a maximum D.C.-eligible amount for recovery over the forecast period of
$4,084,611 for fire facilities.
The fire department has a current inventory of 23 vehicles, of which Aurora is
responsible for 9.4 vehicles (based on 41% of Aurora’s share of the service). The total
D.C.-eligible amount calculated for dire vehicles over the forecast period is $699,613.
The Aurora fire department also provides a total of $1.5 million in small equipment and
gear (41% of the $3.6 million total shared with Newmarket). This results in a calculated
average level of service for the historical 10-year period of $25 per capita, providing for
a D.C.-eligible amount over the forecast period of $325,126 for small equipment and
gear.
Therefore, the total D.C.-eligible amount is $5,109,350.
Based on the growth forecast to 2031, the Town has identified $9.9 million in growth
related capital. These projects include three new stations, bunker gear, and vehicles for
the new stations. In addition, the recovery of the reserve fund deficit of $3.1 million has
been included, for a total gross cost of $13.1 million. Of this amount, $5.7 million is
attributable to growth in the post 2031 period and $2.2 million is attributable to benefit
existing development. Therefore, the net amount to be included in the D.C. for the 13-
year (2031) forecast period is $5.1 million.
These costs are shared between residential and non-residential based on the
population to employment ratio over the forecast period, resulting in 68% being
allocated to residential development and 32% being allocated to non-residential
development.

6. D.C. Calculation
Table 6-1 calculates the proposed uniform D.C.s to be imposed for infrastructure
services based upon an urban 13-year horizon (Town-wide engineered services). Table
6-2 calculates the proposed uniform D.C. to be imposed on anticipated development in
the Town for Services related to fire services over the 13-year planning horizon. Table
6-3 calculates the proposed uniform D.C. to be imposed on anticipated development in
the Town for Town-wide services over a 10-year planning horizon
The calculation for residential development is generated on a per capita basis and is
based upon five forms of housing types (single and semi-detached, large apartments
(700+ sq.ft.), small apartment (<700 sq.ft.), all other multiples and special care/special
dwelling units). The non-residential D.C. has been calculated on a per sq.ft. of gross
floor area basis for all types of non-residential development (industrial, commercial and
institutional).
The D.C.-eligible costs for each service component were developed in Chapter 5 for all
Town services, based on their proposed capital programs.
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 Chapter 5 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 (Appendix A, Schedule 4) to
calculate the charge in Tables 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3.
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.
Table 6-4 summarizes the total D.C. that is applicable for municipal-wide services and
Table 6-5 summarizes the gross capital expenditures and sources of revenue for works
to be undertaken during the 5-year life of the by-law.

7. D.C. Policy Recommendations and D.C. By-law
Rules
7.1 Introduction
s.s.5(1)9 states that rules must be developed:
“...to determine if a development charge is payable in any particular case
and to determine the amount of the charge, subject to the limitations set
out in subsection 6.”
Paragraph 10 of the section goes on to state that the rules may provide for exemptions,
phasing in and/or indexing of D.C.s.
s.s.5(6) establishes the following restrictions on the rules:
x the total of all D.C.s that would be imposed on anticipated development must not
exceed the capital costs determined under 5(1) 2-8 for all services involved;
x if the rules expressly identify a type of development, they must not provide for it
to pay D.C.s that exceed the capital costs that arise from the increase in the
need for service for that type of development; however, this requirement does not
relate to any particular development; and
x if the rules provide for a type of development to have a lower D.C. than is
allowed, the rules for determining D.C.s may not provide for any resulting
shortfall to be made up via other development.
With respect to “the rules,” Section 6 states that a D.C. by-law must expressly address
the matters referred to above re s.s.5(1) paragraphs 9 and 10, as well as how the rules
apply to the redevelopment of land.
The rules provided are based on the Town’s existing policies; however, there are items
under consideration at this time and these may be refined prior to adoption of the by-
law.

7.2 D.C. By-law Structure
It is recommended that:
x the Town uses a uniform Town-wide D.C. calculation for all municipal services.
7.3 D.C. By-law Rules
The following subsections set out the recommended rules governing the calculation,
payment and collection of D.C.s in accordance with Section 6 of the D.C.A.
It is recommended that the following sections provide the basis for the D.C.s:
7.3.1 Payment in any Particular Case
In accordance with the D.C.A., s.2(2), a D.C. 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; or
g) the issuing of a building permit under the Building Code Act in relation to a
building or structure.
7.3.2 Determination of the Amount of the Charge
The following conventions be adopted:

H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
1) Costs allocated to residential uses will be assigned to different types of
residential units based on the average occupancy for each housing type
constructed during the previous decade. Costs allocated to non-residential uses
will be assigned based on the amount of square feet of gross floor area
constructed for eligible uses (i.e. industrial, commercial and institutional).
2) Costs allocated to residential and non-residential uses are based upon a number
of conventions, as may be suited to each municipal circumstance, e.g.
x for General Government (studies) and Municipal Parking services, the
costs have been based on a population vs. employment growth ratio
(67%/33%) for residential and non-residential, respectively, over the 10-
year forecast period;
x for Indoor and Outdoor Recreation and Library services, a 5% non-
residential attribution has been made to recognize use by the non-
residential sector; and
x for Services Related to a Highway, Fire services, and Water and
Wastewater services a 68% residential/32% non-residential allocation has
been made based on population vs. employment growth to the 2031
forecast period.
7.3.3 Application to Redevelopment of Land (Demolition and
Conversion)
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.

7.3.4 Exemptions (full or partial)
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;

H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
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.
7.3.7 Indexing
Indexing of the D.C.s shall be implemented on a mandatory basis annually commencing
on the first anniversary date of this by-law and each anniversary date thereafter, in
accordance with the Statistics Canada Quarterly, Non-Residential Building Construction
Price Index (Table 18-10-0135-01)1 for the most recent year-over-year period.
7.3.8 The Applicable Areas
The charges developed herein provide for charges within the Town, as follows:
x All Town-wide Services – the full residential and non-residential charge will be
imposed on all lands within the Town.
7.4 Other D.C. By-law Provisions
It is recommended that:
7.4.1 Categories of Services for Reserve Fund and Credit Purposes
The Town’s D.C. collections are currently reserved in nine separate reserve funds:
Roads and Related, Municipal Parking services, Fire services, Parks Development,
Indoor Recreation, Library Services, General Government, Water Supply and
Distribution services and Sanitary Sewers. Appendix D outlines the reserve fund
policies that the Town is required to follow as per the D.C.A.
1 O.Reg. 82/98 referenced “The Statistics Canada Quarterly, Construction Price
Statistics, catalogue number 62-007” as the index source. Since implementation,
Statistics Canada has modified this index twice and the above-noted index is the most
current. The draft by-law provided herein refers to O.Reg. 82/98 to ensure traceability
should this index continue to be modified over time.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-6
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
7.4.2 By-law In-force Date
A by-law under the D.C.A. comes into force on the day after which the by-law is passed
by Council.
7.4.3 Minimum Interest Rate Paid on Refunds and Charged for Inter-
Reserve Fund Borrowing
The minimum interest rate is the Bank of Canada rate on the day on which the by-law
comes into force (as per s.11 of O.Reg. 82/98).
7.4.4 Area Rating
As noted earlier, Bill 73 has introduced two new sections where Council must consider
the use of area specific charges:
1. Section 2(9) of the Act now requires a municipality to implement area-specific
D.C.s for either specific services which are prescribed and/or for specific
municipalities which are to be regulated (note that at this time, no municipalities
or services are prescribed by the Regulations).
2. Section 10(2)c.1 of the D.C.A. requires that “the development charges
background study shall include consideration of the use of more than one
development charge by-law to reflect different needs for services in different
areas.”
In regard to the first item, there are no services or specific municipalities identified in the
regulations which must be area-rated. The second item requires Council to consider
the use of area-rating.
At present, the Town’s by-law does not provide for area-rating. All Town services are
recovered based on a uniform, Town-wide basis. There have been several reasons
why they have not been imposed including:
1. All Town services, with the exception of water and wastewater, require that the
average 10-year service standard be calculated. This average service standard
multiplied by growth in the Town, establishes an upper ceiling on the amount of
funds which can be collected from all developing landowners. Section 4(4) of O.
Reg. 82/98 provides that “…if a development charge by-law applies to a part of
Special Meeting of Council Agenda
Tuesday, March 19, 2019
Item 1
Page 97 of 203
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 7-7
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
the municipality, the level of service and average level of service cannot exceed
that which would be determined if the by-law applied to the whole municipality.”
Put in layman terms, the average service standard multiplied by the growth within
the specific area, would establish an area specific ceiling which would
significantly reduce the total revenue recoverable for the Town hence potentially
resulting in D.C. revenue shortfalls and impacts on property taxes.
2. Extending on item 1, attempting to impose an area charge potentially causes
equity issues in transitioning from a Town-wide approach to an area specific
approach. For example, if all services were now built (and funded) within area A
(which is 75% built out) and this was funded with some revenues from areas B
and C, moving to an area rating approach would see Area A contribute no funds
to the costs of services in Areas B & C. The development charges would be
lower in Area A (as all services are now funded) and higher in B and C. As well,
funding shortfalls may then potentially encourage the municipality to provide less
services to B and C due to reduced revenue.
3. Many services which are provided (roads, parks, recreation facilities, library) are
not restricted to one specific area and are often used by all residents. For
example, arenas located in different parts of the Town will be used by residents
from all areas depending on the programing of the facility (i.e. a public skate is
available each night, but at a different arena; hence usage of any one facility at
any given time is based on programing availability).
For the reasons noted above, it is recommended that Council continue the D.C.
approach to calculate the charges on a uniform Town-wide basis.
7.5 Other Recommendations
It is recommended that Council:
“Whenever appropriate, request that grants, subsidies and other contributions be
clearly designated by the donor as being to the benefit of existing development or
new development, as applicable;”
“Adopt the assumptions contained herein as an ‘anticipation’ with respect to
capital grants, subsidies and other contributions;”

8. By-law Implementation
8.1 Public Consultation Process
8.1.1 Introduction
This chapter addresses the mandatory, formal public consultation process (Section
8.1.2), as well as the optional, informal consultation process (Section 8.1.3). The latter
is designed to seek the co-operation and participation of those involved, in order to
produce the most suitable policy. Section 8.1.4 addresses the anticipated impact of the
D.C. on development from a generic viewpoint.
8.1.2 Public Meeting of Council
Section 12 of the D.C.A. indicates that before passing a D.C. by-law, Council must hold
at least one public meeting, giving at least 20 clear days’ notice thereof, in accordance
with the Regulation. Council must also ensure that the proposed by-law and
background report are made available to the public at least two weeks prior to the (first)
meeting.
Any person who attends such a meeting may make representations related to the
proposed by-law.
If a proposed by-law is changed following such a meeting, Council must determine
whether a further meeting (under this section) is necessary (i.e. if the proposed by-law
which is proposed for adoption has been changed in any respect, Council should
formally consider whether an additional public meeting is required, incorporating this
determination as part of the final by-law or associated resolution. It is noted that
Council’s decision, once made, is final and not subject to review by a Court or the Local
Planning Appeal Tribunal (L.P.A.T.) (formerly the Ontario Municipal Board (O.M.B.)).
8.1.3 Other Consultation Activity
There are three broad groupings of the public who are generally the most concerned
with Town D.C. policy:
1. The first grouping is the residential development community, consisting of land
developers and builders, who are typically responsible for generating the majority
Special Meeting of Council Agenda
Tuesday, March 19, 2019
Item 1
Page 101 of 203
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 8-2
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
of the D.C. revenues. Others, such as realtors, are directly impacted by D.C.
policy. They are, therefore, potentially interested in all aspects of the charge,
particularly the quantum by unit type, projects to be funded by the D.C. and the
timing thereof, and Town policy with respect to development agreements, D.C.
credits and front-ending requirements.
2. The second public grouping embraces the public at large and includes taxpayer
coalition groups and others interested in public policy.
3. The third grouping is the industrial/commercial/institutional development sector,
consisting of land developers and major owners or organizations with significant
construction plans, such as hotels, entertainment complexes, shopping centres,
offices, industrial buildings and institutions. Also involved are organizations such
as Industry Associations, the Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Trade and the
Economic Development Agencies, who are all potentially interested in Town D.C.
policy. Their primary concern is frequently with the quantum of the charge, gross
floor area exclusions such as basements, mechanical or indoor parking areas, or
exemptions and phase-in or capping provisions in order to moderate the impact.
8.2 Anticipated Impact of the Charge on Development
The establishment of sound D.C. policy often requires the achievement of an
acceptable balance between two competing realities. The first is that high non-
residential D.C.s can, to some degree, represent a barrier to increased economic
activity and sustained industrial/commercial growth, particularly for capital intensive
uses. Also, in many cases, increased residential D.C.s can ultimately be expected to be
recovered via higher housing prices and can impact project feasibility in some cases
(e.g. rental apartments).
On the other hand, D.C.s or other Town capital funding sources need to be obtained in
order to help ensure that the necessary infrastructure and amenities are installed. The
timely installation of such works is a key initiative in providing adequate service levels
and in facilitating strong economic growth, investment and wealth generation.

8.3 Implementation Requirements
8.3.1 Introduction
Once the Town has calculated the charge, prepared the complete background study,
carried out the public process and passed a new by-law, the emphasis shifts to
implementation matters.
These include notices, potential appeals and complaints, credits, front-ending
agreements, subdivision agreement conditions and finally the collection of revenues and
funding of projects.
The sections which follow overview the requirements in each case.
8.3.2 Notice of Passage
In accordance with s.13 of the D.C.A., when a D.C. by-law is passed, the Town clerk
shall give written notice of the passing and of the last day for appealing the by-law (the
day that is 40 days after the day it was passed). Such notice must be given no later
than 20 days after the day the by-law is passed (i.e. as of the day of newspaper
publication or the mailing of the notice).
Section 10 of O.Reg. 82/98 further defines the notice requirements which are
summarized as follows:
x notice may be given by publication in a newspaper which is (in the Clerk’s
opinion) of sufficient circulation to give the public reasonable notice, or by
personal service, fax or mail to every owner of land in the area to which the by-
law relates;
x s.s.10(4) lists the persons/organizations who must be given notice; and
x s.s.10(5) lists the eight items which the notice must cover.
8.3.3 By-law Pamphlet
In addition to the “notice” information, the Town must prepare a “pamphlet” explaining
each D.C. by-law in force, setting out:
x a description of the general purpose of the D.C.s;
Special Meeting of Council Agenda
Tuesday, March 19, 2019
Item 1
Page 103 of 203
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 8-4
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
x the “rules” for determining if a charge is payable in a particular case and for
determining the amount of the charge;
x the services to which the D.C.s relate; and
x a general description of the general purpose of the Treasurer’s statement and
where it may be received by the public.
Where a by-law is not appealed to the L.P.A.T., the pamphlet must be readied within 60
days after the by-law comes into force. Later dates apply to appealed by-laws.
The Town must give one copy of the most recent pamphlet without charge, to any
person who requests one.
8.3.4 Appeals
Sections 13 to 19 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements relative to making and
processing a D.C. by-law appeal and L.P.A.T. Hearing in response to an appeal. Any
person or organization may appeal a D.C. by-law to the L.P.A.T. by filing a notice of
appeal with the Town clerk, setting out the objection to the by-law and the reasons
supporting the objection. This must be done by the last day for appealing the by-law,
which is 40 days after the by-law is passed.
The Town is carrying out a public consultation process, in order to address the issues
that come forward as part of that process, thereby avoiding or reducing the need for an
appeal to be made.
8.3.5 Complaints
A person required to pay a D.C., or his agent, may complain to the Town Council
imposing the charge that:
x the amount of the charge was incorrectly determined;
x the reduction to be used against the D.C. was incorrectly determined; or
x there was an error in the application of the D.C.
Sections 20 to 25 of the D.C.A. set out the requirements that exist, including the fact
that a complaint may not be made later than 90 days after a D.C. (or any part of it) is
payable. A complainant may appeal the decision of Town Council to the L.P.A.T.

Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE 8-5
H:\Aurora\2019 DC\Report\Report.docx
8.3.6 Credits
Sections 38 to 41 of the D.C.A. set out a number of credit requirements, which apply
where a Town agrees to allow a person to perform work in the future that relates to a
service in the D.C. by-law.
These credits would be used to reduce the amount of D.C.s to be paid. The value of
the credit is limited to the reasonable cost of the work which does not exceed the
average level of service. The credit applies only to the service to which the work
relates, unless the Town agrees to expand the credit to other services for which a D.C.
is payable.
8.3.7 Front-Ending Agreements
The Town and one or more landowners may enter into a front-ending agreement which
provides for the costs of a project which will benefit an area in the Town to which the
D.C. by-law applies. Such an agreement can provide for the costs to be borne by one
or more parties to the agreement who are, in turn, reimbursed in future by persons who
develop land defined in the agreement.
Part III of the D.C.A. (Sections 44 to 58) addresses front-ending agreements and
removes some of the obstacles to their use which were contained in the D.C.A., 1989.
Accordingly, the Town assesses whether this mechanism is appropriate for its use, as
part of funding projects prior to Town funds being available.
8.3.8 Severance and Subdivision Agreement Conditions
Section 59 of the D.C.A. prevents a municipality from imposing directly or indirectly, a
charge related to development or a requirement to construct a service related to
development, by way of a condition or agreement under s.51 or s.53 of the Planning
Act, except for:
x “local services, related to a plan of subdivision or within the area to which the
plan relates, to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval
under section 51 of the Planning Act;” and
x “local services to be installed or paid for by the owner as a condition of approval

It is also noted that s.s.59(4) of the D.C.A. requires that the municipal approval authority
for a draft plan of subdivision under s.s.51(31) of the Planning Act, use its power to
impose conditions to ensure that the first purchaser of newly subdivided land is
informed of all the D.C.s related to the development, at the time the land is transferred.
In this regard, if the Town in question is a commenting agency, in order to comply with
subsection 59(4) of the D.C.A. it would need to provide to the approval authority,
information regarding the applicable Town D.C.s related to the site.
If the Town is an approval authority for the purposes of section 51 of the Planning Act, it
would be responsible to ensure that it collects information from all entities which can
impose a D.C.
The most effective way to ensure that purchasers are aware of this condition would be
to require it as a provision in a registered subdivision agreement, so that any purchaser
of the property would be aware of the charges at the time the title was searched prior to
closing a transaction conveying the lands.

Town of Aurora
Annual Capital and Operating Cost Impact
As a requirement of the D.C.A. under subsection 10(2)(c), an analysis must be
undertaken to assess the long-term capital and operating cost impacts for the capital
infrastructure projects identified within the D.C. As part of this analysis, it was deemed
necessary to isolate the incremental operating expenditures directly associated with
these capital projects, factor in cost saving attributable to economies of scale or cost
sharing where applicable and prorate the cost on a per unit basis (i.e. sq.ft. of building
space, per vehicle, etc.). This was undertaken through a review of the Town’s approved
2017 Financial Information Return (FIR).
In addition to the operational impacts, over time the initial capital projects will require
replacement. This replacement of capital is often referred to as life cycle cost. By
definition, life cycle costs are all the costs which are incurred during the life of a physical
asset, from the time its acquisition is first considered, to the time it is taken out of
service for disposal or redeployment. The method selected for life cycle costing is the
sinking fund method which provides that money will be contributed annually and
invested, so that those funds will grow over time to equal the amount required for future
replacement. The following factors were utilized to calculate the annual replacement
cost of the capital projects (annual contribution = factor X capital asset cost) and are
based on an annual growth rate of 2% (net of inflation) over the average useful life of
the asset:

Table C-1 depicts the annual operating impact resulting from the proposed gross capital
projects at the time they are all in place. It is important to note that, while Town
program expenditures will increase with growth in population, the costs associated with
the new infrastructure (i.e. facilities) would be delayed until the time these works are in
place.

Appendix D: D.C. Reserve Fund Policy
D.1 Legislative Requirements
The Development Charges Act, 1997 (D.C.A.) requires development charge collections
(and associated interest) to be placed in separate reserve funds. Sections 33 through
36 of the Act provide the following regarding reserve fund establishment and use:
x a municipality shall establish a reserve fund for each service to which the D.C.
by-law relates; s.7(1), however, allows services to be grouped into categories of
services for reserve fund (and credit) purposes, although only 100% eligible and
90% eligible services may be combined (minimum of two reserve funds);
x the municipality shall pay each development charge it collects into a reserve fund
or funds to which the charge relates;
x the money in a reserve fund shall be spent only for the “capital costs” determined
through the legislated calculation process (as per s.5(1) 2-8);
x money may be borrowed from the fund but must be paid back with interest
(O.Reg. 82/98, s.11(1) defines this as Bank of Canada rate either on the day the
by-law comes into force or, if specified in the by-law, the first business day of
each quarter); and
x D.C. reserve funds may not be consolidated with other municipal reserve funds
for investment purposes and may only be as an interim financing source for
capital undertakings for which development charges may be spent (s.37).
Annually, the Treasurer of the municipality is required to provide Council with a financial
statement related to the D.C. by-law(s) and reserve funds. This statement must be
made available to the public and may be requested to be forwarded to the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing. The D.C.A. does not prescribe how the statement is to
be made available to the public. We would recommend that a resolution of Council
make the statement available on the municipality’s website or upon request.
Subsection 43(2) and O.Reg. 82/98 prescribes the information that must be included in
the Treasurer’s statement, as follows:
x opening balance;
x closing balance;

Development Charges Report
x description of each service and/or service category for which the reserve fund
was established (including a list of services within a service category);
x transactions for the year (e.g. collections, draws) including each assets capital
costs to be funded from the D.C. reserve fund and the manner for funding the
capital costs not funded under the D.C. by-law (i.e. non-D.C. recoverable cost
share and post-period D.C. recoverable cost share);
x for projects financed by development charges, the amount spent on the project
from the D.C. reserve fund and the amount and source of any other monies
spent on the project.
x amounts borrowed, purpose of the borrowing and interest accrued during
previous year;
x amount and source of money used by the municipality to repay municipal
obligations to the D.C. reserve fund;
x list of credits by service or service category (outstanding at beginning of the year,
given in the year and outstanding at the end of the year by holder);
x for credits granted under s.14 of the old D.C.A., a schedule identifying the value
of credits recognized by the municipality, the service to which it applies and the
source of funding used to finance the credit; and
x a statement as to compliance with s.s. 59(1) of the D.C.A., whereby the
municipality shall not impose, directly or indirectly, a charge related to a
development or a requirement to construct a service related to development,
except as permitted by the D.C.A. or another Act.
Based upon the above, Figure 1, and Attachments 1 and 2, set out the format for which
annual reporting to Council should be provided.
D.2 D.C. Reserve Fund Application
Section 35 of the D.C.A. states that:
“The money in a reserve fund established for a service may be spent only
for capital costs determined under paragraphs 2 to 8 of subsection 5(1).”
This provision clearly establishes that reserve funds collected for a specific service are
only to be used for that service, or to be used as a source of interim financing of capital
undertakings for which a development charge may be spent.

Town of Aurora – General Policy Guidelines on Development Charge
and Local Service Funding
This Appendix sets out the Town’s General Policy Guidelines on Development Charges
(D.C.) and local service funding for Services Related to a Highway, Storm Water
Management Works, Water and Sewer, and Parkland Development. The guidelines
outline, in general terms, the size and nature of engineered infrastructure that is
included in the study as a development charge project, versus infrastructure that is
considered as a local service, to be emplaced separately by landowners, pursuant to a
development agreement.
The following policy guidelines are general principles by which staff will be guided in
considering development applications. However, each application will be considered, in
the context of these policy guidelines as subsection 59(2) of the Development Charges
Act, 1997, on its own merits having regard to, among other factors, the nature, type and
location of the development and any existing and proposed development in the
surrounding area, as well as the location and type of services required and their
relationship to the proposed development and to existing and proposed development in
the area.
A. Services Related to a Highway
A highway and services related to a highway are intended for the transportation of
people and goods via many different modes including, but not limited to passenger
automobiles, commercial vehicles, transit vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The
highway shall consist of all land and associated infrastructure built to support (or
service) this movement of people and goods regardless of the mode of transportation
employed, thereby achieving a complete street. A complete street is the concept
whereby a highway is planned, designed, operated and maintained to enable
pedestrians, cyclists, public transit users and motorists to safely and comfortably be
moved, thereby allowing for the efficient movement of persons and goods.

Appendix I: Asset Management Plan
The recent changes to the D.C.A. (new section 10(2) (c.2)) require that the Background
Study must include an asset management plan related to new infrastructure. Section
10(3) of the D.C.A. provides:
The asset management plan shall,
(a) deal with all assets whose capital costs are proposed to be funded under
the development charge by-law;
(b) demonstrate that all the assets mentioned in clause (a) are financially
sustainable over their full life cycle;
(c) contain any other information that is prescribed; and
(d) be prepared in the prescribed manner.
In regard to the above, section 8 of the Regulations was amended to include
subsections (2), (3) and (4) which set out for specific detailed requirements for transit
(only). For all services except transit, there are no prescribed requirements at this time
thus requiring the municipality to define the approach to include within the Background
Study.
At a broad level, the Asset Management Plan provides for the long-term investment in
an asset over its entire useful life along with the funding. The schematic below
identifies the costs for an asset through its entire lifecycle. For growth-related works,
the majority of capital costs will be funded by the D.C. non-growth-related expenditures
will then be funded from non-D.C. revenues as noted below. During the useful life of
the asset, there will be minor maintenance costs to extend the life of the asset along
with additional program related expenditures to provide the full services to the residents.
At the end of the life of the asset, it will be replaced by non-D.C. financing sources.
It should be noted that with the recent passing of the Infrastructure for Jobs and
Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.) municipalities are now required to complete asset management
plans, based on certain criteria, which are to be completed by 2021 for core municipal
services and 2023 for all other services. The amendments to the D.C.A. do not require
municipalities to complete these asset management plans (required under I.J.P.A.) for

In 2012, the Province developed Building Together: Guide for municipal asset
management plans which outlines the key elements for an asset management plan
(A.M.P.), as follows:
State of local infrastructure: asset types, quantities, age, condition, financial
accounting valuation and replacement cost valuation.
Desired levels of service: defines levels of service through performance measures
and discusses any external trends or issues that may affect expected levels of service
or the municipality’s ability to meet them (for example, new accessibility standards,
climate change impacts).

Asset management strategy: the asset management strategy is the set of planned
actions that will seek to generate the desired levels of service in a sustainable way,
while managing risk, at the lowest lifecycle cost.
Financing strategy: having a financial plan is critical for putting an A.M.P. into action.
By having a strong financial plan, municipalities can also demonstrate that they have
made a concerted effort to integrate the A.M.P. with financial planning and municipal
budgeting and are making full use of all available infrastructure financing tools.
The above provides for the general approach to be considered by Ontario
municipalities. Currently, there is not a mandated approach for municipalities hence
leaving discretion to individual municipalities as to how they plan for the long-term
replacement of their assets. However, on June 4, 2015, the Province passed the
Infrastructure for Jobs and Prosperity Act (I.J.P.A.) which, over time, will require
municipalities to undertake and implement asset management plans for all infrastructure
they own. On December 27, 2017, the Province of Ontario released Ontario Regulation
588/17 under I.J.P.A. which has 3 phases that municipalities must meet:
Figure G-2
Timeline of I.J.P.A. Requirements
Every municipality in Ontario will have to prepare a strategic asset management policy
by July 1, 2019. Municipalities will be required to review their strategic asset
management policies at least every five years and make updates as necessary. The
subsequent phases are as follows:
x • Phase 1 – Asset Management Plan (by July 1, 2021):
Special Meeting of Council Agenda
Tuesday, March 19, 2019
Item 1
Page 182 of 203
Watson & Associates Economists Ltd. PAGE I-5
Development Charges Report
o For core assets – Municipalities must have the following:
Inventory of assets;
Current levels of service measured by standard metrics; and
Costs to maintain levels of service.
x Phase 2 – Asset Management Plan (by July 1, 2023):
o Same steps as Phase 1 but for all assets.
x Phase 3 – Asset Management Plan (by July 1, 2024):
o Builds on Phase 1 and 2 by adding:
Proposed levels of service; and
Lifecycle management and Financial strategy.
Once the requirements of I.J.P.A. are implemented, the requirement for an asset
management plan in the D.C. process will be removed.
At present, the staff for the Town of Aurora have included growth-related projects as
part of the Town’s 2018 Asset Management Plan, updated January 22, 2019. This plan
has been recently updated to include the projects identified in this 2019 Development
Charge Background Study and will be presented to Council on February 26, 2019 for
approval. This document has identified all the key elements (state of local
infrastructure, desired level of service, asset management strategy, and financing
strategy) as outlined above.
