motions.
8. NOTICES OF MOTIONS
(1) THE CITY OF MARKHAM TO SUPPORT BILL 41
– PRESERVING EXISTING COMMUNITIES ACT (13.0)
Moved by Councillor
Howard Shore
Seconded by Councillor
Don Hamilton
Whereas municipalities are
required to approve Official Plans containing the goals, objectives and
policies established primarily to manage and direct physical change and the
effects on the social, economic and natural environment of the municipality or
part of it; and,
Whereas municipalities rely
on these plans when determining the allocation of capital investment within the
community to provide infrastructure to service future growth according to those
plans; and,
Whereas the introduction of
intensification in areas not identified for such purposes in the Official Plan
may require changes to long term infrastructure planning at additional costs to
the municipality and subtract from, and limit a municipalities’ ability to
implement the policies of that plan; and,
Whereas the Planning Act treats appeals of municipal
planning decisions to the OMB as de novo hearings and allows the OMB to
substitute its decisions for those taken by democratically elected municipal
councils; and,
Whereas it is manifestly
undemocratic for an appointed board such as the OMB to substitute its opinions
for the considered judgment of elected councillors and professional city staff
on matters affecting municipalities; and,
Whereas
municipal councillors make determinations on issues of planning based on direct
and personal knowledge of the community, its challenges, potential and
opportunities that are not restricted to the boundaries of the Planning Act,
such as strategic plans, including Markham’s Growth Alternative to 2031; and,
Whereas Bill 41, “Preserving
Existing Communities Act, 2013” is currently before the Provincial Legislature;
and,
Whereas Bill 41 proposes to
amend the Places to Grow Act, 2005 to provide that certain municipal decisions
rejecting development proposals that would involve intensification in the plan
not be subject to appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board; and,
Now therefore be it
resolved:
1) That
the Province of Ontario be advised that the City of Markham support the
principles of Bill 41; and,
2) That
the Province of Ontario be requested to ensure that where the municipality has
an Official Plan, approved by the Province which conforms with the requirements
of the Province’s Places to Grow Act, that where a development application is
submitted to the municipality requesting an Official Plan amendment to enable
development, which Council deems not in conformity with its Official Plan, the
development application shall have no right of appeal to the Ontario Municipal
Board and the decision of Council shall be final; and,
3) That,
despite subsection 22(7) of the Planning Act, there be no appeal permitted in
respect of the official plan policies of a municipality or a planning board,
adopted to conform to the growth management population, intensification and
employment targets and policies as set out in the Provincial Growth Plan for
the Greater Golden Horseshoe area and related regulations and Provincial
policies; and further,
4) That copies of this Resolution be sent to the
Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, all local members of Provincial
Parliament, GTA municipalities, registered ratepayer associations in the City
of Markham , Markham Action Group for Improved Community, the Large
Urban Mayors Caucus of Ontario (LUMCO)
and the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO).
Note: This
notice of motion will be considered by Council on May 13, 2013.
(2) WORLD
CLASS CONVENTION, TRADE AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTRE (13.0)
Moved by Regional
Councillor Jim Jones
Seconded by Councillor
Colin Campbell
1) That
the City of Markham would like to be considered as a host municipality
for a world class integrated Convention, Trade Centre, Five Star Hotel and Entertainment
Centre (including a casino) in the event that Toronto doesn't support a
downtown casino; and,
2) That
if and when Toronto publicly indicates that it doesn't support a downtown
casino facility, then the City of Markham schedule a special Council meeting to
discuss this motion.
Note: This
notice of motion will be considered by Council on May 28, 2013.
(3) CITY
OF MARKHAM TO HOLD
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION ON
METROLINX FUNDING TOOLS (5.0)
Moved by Councillor
Howard Shore
Seconded by Deputy
Mayor Jack Heath
Whereas Metrolinx is the provincial agency responsible for
coordinating, and integrating all modes of transportation in the Greater Toronto
and Hamilton Area (GTHA); and,
Whereas on June 1, 2013, Metrolinx is required to submit its
transportation investment strategy, including proposals for revenue generation
tools to fund its $34 billion "next wave" capital projects, to the
Province and municipal councils. Combined with its first phase of investment of
$16 billion, a total of $50 billion will be spent to address transportation
related congestion expected to result from the additional population growth
anticipated in the GTHA over the next two decades; and,
Whereas on April 2, 2013 Metrolinx released a ‘short list’ of proposed investment
funding tools for consultation that will help decide how transit expansion is
funded in the years ahead; and,
Whereas Metrolinx is developing an investment strategy to help finance
The Big Move and the next wave of projects including the Downtown Relief Line,
and the Yonge Subway Extension into York Region, and major changes to the GO
Transit rail network, municipal transit projects, roads and highways and green
transportation options, such as cycling and walking; and,
Whereas the delivery of The Big Move is critical to the City of
Markham’s ability to accommodate the Provincial Growth Plan in accordance with
its growth management strategy known as Markham’s
Growth Alternative to 2031 and the resulting increase in transportation demand; and,
Whereas Markham’s Transportation Strategic Plan builds on Metrolinx’s
The Big Move, indicating that a sustainable transportation system to
accommodate growth is contingent on planned rapid transit improvements and
behaviour shifts and that Markham’s proposed approach is to tie development
levels in growth areas to transit infrastructure and modal shares; and,
Whereas Markham’s Transportation Strategic Plan concluded that all
stakeholders, including the public, need to be part of the solution; and,
Now therefore be it resolved:
1) That the City of Markham provide for a Special General
Committee evening meeting to allow for community input and consultation; and,
2) That the City of Markham hold a Special Meeting of Council
no later than May 22, 2013 to formally express its preferred funding tools to
Metrolinx prior to its Board of Directors meeting on May 28, 2013.
Note: This
notice of motion will be considered by Council on May 13, 2013.
