CALL TO ORDER

The meeting of Council convened at 1:06 PM on February 23, 2022. Mayor Frank Scarpitti presided.

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We begin today by acknowledging the traditional territories of Indigenous peoples and their commitment to stewardship of the land. We acknowledge the communities in circle. The North, West, South and Eastern directions, and Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Anishnabeg, Seneca, Chippewa, and the current treaty holders Mississaugas of the Credit peoples. We share the responsibility with the caretakers of this land to ensure the dish is never empty and to restore relationships that are based on peace, friendship, and trust. We are committed to reconciliation, partnership and enhanced understanding.

On behalf of Council, Mayor Frank Scarpitti recognized the recent passing of Markham resident Emily Ng, wife of Dr. Ken Ng. She was a respected community leader and volunteer who built bridges among numerous cultural, ethnic and faith groups, particularly through her leadership with the Canadian Federation of Intercultural Friendship. She received the  Leading Women Building Communities 2017 award by the Province of Ontario and was a director of the Federation of Chinese Canadians in Markham that created Markham's Taste of Asia, the largest outdoor Asian festival in Canada. A moment of silence was observed in her honour.

The Mayor also noted that February 23 is Pink Shirt day aimed to raise awareness against bullying and support children's healthy self-esteem. In addition, the launch of the Markham Fire 24/7 emergency call-taking dispatch service to Barrie, which is one of the ways the City is modernizing fire services to continue to better serve the community.

The Mayor then noted that the City of Markham's Black History celebration will take place this evening at 5:30 pm, which will showcase some Black Youth and to recognize members of the Black community for their contributions and leadership.

8.1.2

DISSOLVE ONTARIO LAND TRIBUNAL (OLT) (13.2)

• Moved by Regional Councillor Jim Jones
  Seconded by Councillor Keith Irish

  Whereas Municipalities across this province collectively spend millions of dollars of taxpayer money and municipal resources developing Official Plans that meet current Provincial Planning Policy; and, 

  Whereas an Official Plan is developed through months of public consultation to ensure, “that future planning and development will meet the specific needs of our community”; and,

  Whereas our Official Plan includes zoning provisions that encourage development of the “missing middle” or “gentle density” to meet the need for attainable housing in our community; and,

  Whereas our Official Plan is ultimately approved by the province; and, 

  Whereas it is within the legislative purview of Municipal Council to approve Official Plan amendments or Zoning By-law changes that better the community or fit within the vision of the City of Markham Official Plan; and,

  Whereas it is also within the legislative purview of Municipal Council to deny Official Plan amendments or Zoning By-law changes that do not better the community or do not fit within the vision of the City of Markham Official Plan; and 

  Whereas municipal planning decisions may be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT; formerly the Ontario Municipal Board or “OMB”), an unelected, appointed body that is not accountable to the residents of the City of Markham; and, 

  Whereas the OLT has the authority to make a final decision on planning matters based on a “best planning outcome” and not whether the proposed development is in compliance with municipal Official Plans and Provincial Planning Policy; and,

  Whereas Ontario is the only province in Canada that empowers a separate adjudicative tribunal to review and overrule local decisions applying provincially approved plans; and,

  Whereas towns and cities across this Province are repeatedly forced to spend millions of dollars defending Official Plans that have already been approved by the province in expensive, time consuming and ultimately futile OLT hearings; and,

  Whereas lengthy, costly OLT hearings act as a barrier to the development of all housing and commercial properties.

  1. Now Therefore Be It Resolved That the City of Markham requests the Government of Ontario to instruct the OLT to immediately cease accepting new cases and then dissolve the OLT once its current caseload has been addressed, thereby eliminating one of the most significant sources of red tape delaying the development of housing in Ontario; and,
  2. Be It Further Resolved That a copy of this Motion be sent to the Honourable Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the Leader of the Opposition, the Leaders of the Liberal and Green Party, all MPPs in the Province of Ontario; the Large Urban Mayors’ Caucus of Ontario, the Small Urban GTHA Mayors and Regional Chairs of Ontario; and,
  3. Be It Further Resolved That a copy of this Motion be sent to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and all Ontario municipalities for their consideration.
