The Development

11. J.V.H. PROPERTIES, 70 DENISON STREET
ZONING APPLICATION TO PERMIT A MEAT PROCESSING
AND PACKAGING PLANT (ZA. 02-105323) (10.5)
The Chair advised that the subject
of the Public Meeting this date was to consider Zoning By-law Amendment
application File ZA 02-105323, submitted by J.V.H. Properties, to permit a meat
processing and packaging plant at 70 Denison Street.
Committee was advised that 54
notices were mailed on April 3, 2002, and a public meeting sign was posted on
April 2, 2002. There were two written submission received, both from Danny
Goldstaub, Ergo Industries, 300 Steelecase Road West, Unit 35, Markham, in
objection.
Staff made a presentation regarding
the proposal, explaining the location, surrounding uses, and the proposed uses
of the subject property.
There were no comments from the
audience with respect to this application.

regarding storage of waste by-products, and staff advised provisions for

amendment. Mr. David Moore of Indusite Realty Corporation, representing the
applicant, was in attendance and indicated his agreement to the provision.
RECOMMENDATION:

By-law 108-81 by J.V.H. Properties Ltd., to permit a meat processing and

And further that the proposed
amendment to By-law 108-81 be enacted without further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other
matters dealt with by the Development Services Committee on April 23, 2002:
12. GROUP HOMES (10.0)
Staff gave a
presentation regarding Group Homes, reviewing the 1989 Markham Task Force
regarding Group Homes, and the status of the Town's subsequent Official Plan
Amendment and the implementing Zoning By-law
which has been appealed to the OMB by the Province. A tentative
agreement has been reached with Ministry staff, and the Town is ready to
proceed with resolving the appeals.
Staff's presentation
identified the distribution of 13 group homes throughout the Town (as of
January 2002), and negotiations with the Province to permit a maximum of 8
group homes per ward. Staff
recommendations included discontinuing the site plan approval requirement for
group homes, and instead, relying on the Ministry of Community and Family and
Children's Services (recently renamed from Ministry of Community and Social
Services), the approval authority, to ensure Town zoning, building, and fire
clearance is received and that the operator be encouraged to notify the
community prior to issuance of a group home license. Staff advised that the
Ministry has given a written commitment to provide notice of group home
applications to the Town of Markham in the future. The Committee expressed a preference for additional
controls. Negotiations with the
Province include monitoring provisions, and a trigger mechanism for review
purposes. The Town may enact a registration by-law for group homes. As the
Province is not able to confirm its participation, an "Advisory
Committee" is not practical.
Definitions and
regulations regarding "Auxiliary", "Crisis Care", and
"Foster" homes were reviewed. Staff addressed the issue previously
raised, of restricting group homes to single detached dwellings only, and
whether apartments and townhouses were appropriate dwelling types. Staff pointed out that some of these group
homes will have handicapped residents that may benefit from having access to an
elevator and this would be a little more difficult and costly in a single
detached dwelling type. There was
general consensus that the unit types as recommended by the task force are
suitable.
The Committee
considered that criteria for future group homes locations should include access
to transit, for integration with the community, and it was also suggested that
5 group homes per ward should be the maximum. A question was asked regarding
what effect a change in a group home ownership or location would have on the
license and/or the permitted use of the property.
Concern was expressed
that the public should be advised of the notification provisions being
proposed, and it was suggested that extensive public notice be provided
regarding the OMB hearing, to encourage public awareness and participation, or
alternatively, for Council to hold a formal Public Meeting. Concern was also expressed regarding the
group homes established and approved by the Ministry without consultation with
the Town. Staff were directed to review
this circumstance.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the staff
presentation regarding Group Homes be received for information;
And that staff prepare a report
for the Development Services Committee, with respect to the issues discussed
and providing a summary of proposed modifications for OPA No. 97 and
Zoning By-law 72-91.
13. LANE
BASED GARAGES (10.0)
Correspondence was received from Jim Murphy, Director,
Government Services, and Paula J. Tenuta, Municipal Government Advisor, both of
the Greater Toronto Home Builders' Association, dated April 22, 2002, regarding
new home completion delays.
Staff gave a presentation regarding
lane based garages with respect to new home completion delays. It was explained
that although the Building Code provides protection for standards dealing with
health and safety matters, it does allow for occupancy prior to completion of
such items as exterior finishes, decks, landscaping, etc.
Staff presented several options to
encourage timely completion of dwellings by developers, and reviewed the
non-supportive response from the Greater Toronto Home Builders Association.
Committee discussed options relating to Customer Advocacy Program,
withholding a completion deposit,
stronger wording on purchase agreement, and developing a multi-faceted
occupancy permit. Committee expressed interest in Vaughan's practice of placing
transfer restrictions on a property until the occupancy certificate is issued,
however, staff explained that although transfer restrictions guarantee the
issuance of an occupancy certificate, homes are still occupied while under
construction. The program is also complex and costly.
A "Client Performance
Program" is currently being developed by the Town, whereby information
and/or deficiencies gathered by Building Officials is listed. The system
requires the acquisition of mobile data collection devices. It was suggested
information and completion status relative to local builders could be posted on
the Town's website.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the staff presentation be received;
And that the correspondence from Jim Murphy, Director,
Government Services, and Paula J. Tenuta, Municipal Government Advisor, both of
the Greater Toronto Home Builders' Association, dated April 22, 2002, regarding
new home completion delays, be received.
And that staff prepare a report regarding discussions and
opportunities relative to new home construction delays;
And further, that staff endeavor to have dialogue with
the Greater Toronto Home Builders Association, Markham area builders, and
ratepayers groups, to form a consensus on how to achieve better results.
14. PLACES
OF WORSHIP STUDY
CONSULTANT PRESENTATION (10.8)
Staff advised the purpose of today's
consultant presentation is to seek the Committee's comments and to receive authorization
to proceed to the next stage of completing the background report and further
public consultation.
Ms. Elizabeth Howson
of Macauley Shiomi Howson Ltd. gave a
presentation regarding the Places of Worship Study. Fifty-three of the existing
92 worship groups in Markham responded to the survey, and several points were
discussed:
- there is a trend
toward places of worship providing a range of community and social services as
well as religious services, in part due to government cutbacks in provision of
social services;
- the diversity of
worship in Markham makes it difficult to predict specific requirements for the
number of places of worship
- parking problems
have been identified as the most significant impact of places of worship
-the site acquisition
policy has served to provide new sites, however private market arrangements
have provided more sites; the policy needs to be updated.
Ms. Howson reviewed:
policy and regulatory framework; parking considerations; the site acquisition
policy, and; development criteria (location; site design; compatibility with
surrounding uses; option to require zoning amendment for all new Places of
Worship). It was clarified that the Study is primarily concerned with land use
issues, and does not seek to control the introduction of places of worship on
the basis of religious observance.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Consultant
Presentation by Ms. Elizabeth Howson of Macauley
Shiomi Howson Ltd., regarding the Places of Worship Study, be received;
And that the consultants report be finalized and presented
to Development Services Committee with a covering staff report, prior to
further public consultation.

details.

proposal, and the Committee expressed appreciation for a very impressive design.
