Moved by Mayor Mrakas

Whereas the Province, in its revisions to the Planning Act through Bill 108, has
provided by means for a new development approval framework, the
Community Planning Permit (CPP) by-law, which combines three existing

development standards and criteria for an area that are in keeping with the
desires and expectations of the community; and

to the CPP by-law for five years; and
Whereas a CPP by-law contains provisions that regulate the use, size, height,
lot coverage, and location of buildings on properties similar to a Zoning By-
law; and
Whereas Community Planning Permit is a land use planning tool available to
municipalities that is meant to streamline development approvals and promote
collaborative and predictable community building and implement growth
objectives; and
Whereas the downtown core has been identified as a significant area in the
Town through the development of the Aurora Promenade plan;

York Region to pilot photo radar in school zones
York Regional Council approved an Automated Speed Enforcement pilot starting in 2020 to have photo
radar technology installed in community safety zones.
During the two-year pilot, York Region will operate one mobile automated speed enforcement unit. The unit
will move to different community safety zones across all nine cities and towns. The pilot aims to create
awareness and deter people from speeding near schools.
School zones with the highest travel speeds will be the first locations to host the new portable speed
cameras. Staff will review data from York Region’s pilot, including change in driver behaviour, review of
technology and the impact on provincial courts and report to Council and shared with local and area
municipalities.
York Region travel expected to change amid advancing technology
York Regional Council received an update on York Region’s readiness to support advancements in
transportation technology and how technology tools can be used to improve traveller experience.
Emerging technologies such as the self-driving car will require significant infrastructure in place in order to
work properly, including infrastructure like traffic signals which will soon need to communicate directly with
vehicles.
York Region is already leveraging innovations in transportation technology to improve operations, including:
x Installing Bluetooth sensors to monitor real-time travel times to better coordinate traffic signals and
provide travel time information to Regional travellers
x Installing technology on York Region Transit buses to warn bus drivers of potential collisions with
pedestrians and cyclists
x Exploring ways to improve emergency response times by outfitting emergency vehicles with tools to
better communicate with traffic signals
x Piloting six fully-electric transit buses in the Town of Newmarket, beginning 2020

Regional Report

Fewer Collisions on York Region roads in 2018
York Regional Council received the 2019 Annual Collision Statistics Report which provides a breakdown of
collision data occurring on Regional roads.
The Annual Collision Statistics Report compiles data from a variety of sources and uses the information to
determine programs or technology that could increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, such as
red light cameras, separated bike lanes and automated speed radar in school zones.
York Region will continue to explore opportunities, such as left turn only signals and no right turns on red
light in an effort to reduce collisions and increase safety in highly travelled intersections.
York Region subsidized housing wait list
York Region’s population continues to grow and diversify; however, the housing supply has not kept pace
with residents’ needs. As a result, it has become more difficult for many residents to find affordable housing.
York Region’s subsidized housing wait list continues to grow, and at the end of 2018, 16,237 households
were waiting for subsidized housing.
York Regional Council received the Comprehensive Review of the Subsidized Housing Wait List, which
identifies a better understanding of applicants’ needs, outlines ways to continue enhancing administration of
the wait list and outlines potential supports for applicants while they wait for subsidized housing or
alternatives to help them stay in place.
The review also recommends implementing a more thorough assessment of applicant needs at the time of
application, enhance processes and increase communication with applicants, and support applicants while
they wait for subsidized housing and help them make informed housing choices.
Attracting business and housing to city centres
York Regional Council is working to attract new business and affordable rental housing across the Region
through two targeted development charge deferral programs.
These new incentive programs support York Region’s city-building initiatives aimed at promoting complete
communities close to transit. This includes developing long-term employment opportunities and different
types of affordable housing options that support residents to work and live within the boundaries of the
community.
The new longer-term development charge deferrals include:
x Five-year deferrals
o Affordable, purpose-built rental housing
o Office buildings between 75,000 and 150,000 square feet located in Regional city centres
x 10-year deferrals
o Affordable, purpose-built rental located in Regional city centres
o Affordable, purpose-built rental with 100 units or more
o Office buildings between 150,000 and 250,000 square feet located in Regional city centres

o Affordable, purpose-built rental in Regional city centres with 200 units or more
o Office building greater than 400,000 square feet located in Regional city centres
Looking to the community to plan our future
York Regional Council received an update on York Region’s Have Your Say consultations which are
gathering valuable insight from residents about the kind of place they want York Region to be.
In a report summarizing public consultation to date, residents, businesses and workers have said they want
compact, walkable communities with affordable housing options close to community services and cultural
events. They also desire the protection of green spaces and support continued investment in public transit
infrastructure.
Feedback gained through these consultations will help inform the Municipal Comprehensive Review (MCR)
and update to the Regional Official Plan policies to reflect community needs and guide planning for future
growth and development in York Region.
York Region will continue to engage with the public and provide opportunities for resident input to inform the
development of a draft Regional Official Plan update. More information on how to get involved or to receive
information on upcoming activities can be found at york.ca/mcrgetinvolved
Housing Solutions 2019 to 2023
York Regional Council approved the second phase of York Region’s 10-Year Housing and Homelessness
Plan, Housing Solutions 2019 to 2023. The plan builds on accomplishments of the first phase and includes
updated goals and objectives for providing a coordinated approach to address housing affordability and
reduce homelessness.
The goals and actions in the updated plan include:
x Increase the supply of affordable and rental housing
x Help people find and keep housing
x Strengthen the housing and homelessness system
Invasive species prevention becomes limited without adequate funding
York Regional Council received an update on efforts to manage and slow down the spread of emerald ash
borer and other invasive species such as wild parsnip and giant hogweed across York Region.
Invasive plants and animals are those not native to an ecosystem and can cause harm to our natural
environments and wildlife, local economies and people. Ontario has more invasive species than any other
province or territory in Canada. A recent study conducted by the Invasive Species Centre reported Ontario
municipalities and conservation authorities spend an average of $50.8 million per year to address invasive
species.
Council Meeting Agenda
Tuesday, November 12, 2019
Regional Report
Page 4 of 7
In recent years, provincial funding to key partner organizations which focus on invasive species has been
reduced, which has negatively impacted support and resources available to municipalities, conservation
authorities and residents.
York Region is requesting the province reinstate funding to invasive species partner organizations integral in

law, as amended, or any successor By-law.

payable, constitutes a debt of the person or Tenant to the Town and may
