HomeMy WebLinkAboutDTS-10-167 - Kitchener Growth Management Strategy REPORT REPORT TO: Development and Technical Services Committee DATE OF MEETING: September 27, 2010 SUBMITTED BY: Alain Pinard, Interim Director of Planning PREPARED BY: Alexandra Pires, Planning Technician (519-741-3400 ext. 3177) WARD(S) INVOLVED: All DATE OF REPORT: September 24, 2010 REPORT NO.: DTS-10-167 SUBJECT: KITCHENER GROWTH MANAGEMENT STRATEGY - 2010 ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT RECOMMENDATION: That Report DTS-10-167, Kitchener Growth Management Strategy – 2010 Annual Monitoring Report be received for information. BACKGROUND: In 2009, Council approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS). The KGMS introduce an ongoing growth management program to manage growth-related change in an effective and co-ordinated manner (Goal 6). One of the action items of KGMS Goal 6 is to prepare an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report to track the supply of development opportunities and the achievement of intensification and density targets. In fulfillment of this action item, the first Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report has been completed and is attached for Council’s information. REPORT: Growth management is a community priority. In response to numerous directions, including Compass Kitchener and the “Who-are-you-Kitchener” surveys, Council approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS) in support of the City’s Strategic Plan. Kitchener is expected to accommodate a relatively significant amount of residential and employment growth over the next twenty years. We are also mandated by the Province to achieve certain numerical targets and other planning objectives. The KGMS provides a long-term framework for planning where and how future residential and employment growth can be accommodated in Kitchener. To ensure that growth contributes positively to our quality of life, the KGMS provides a framework for co-ordination the provision of infrastructure and services with new development. The goals and actions support the Province’s Growth Plan and the Regional Growth Management Strategy. The KGMS introduced an ongoing growth management program that includes preparing an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report. The attached report monitors growth within the built-up (intensification areas) and designated Greenfield area of the City of Kitchener from the time the KGMS was prepared in June 2008 up to June 2010, and provides a summary of observations and changes that may have occurred during this 2 year time period. The report also provides an analysis of how all this information relates to other Provincial and Regional initiatives such as Places to Grow and the Regional Growth Management Strategy respectively. Highlights: The results of the updated growth management data are encouraging. The number of residents and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is dramatically increasing since the last measurement, from 131 RJs/ha as of four years ago to 151 RJs/ha now. This is an excellent step towards achieving the provincially-mandated target of 200 RJs/ha by 2031. Another significant achievement is that the amount of residential development occurring in the Built-up Area is 43%. This is very close to the target for urban municipalities within the Region of Waterloo. No doubt the momentous efforts that the City and other partners have undertaken over the past decade to support intensification are now contributing to positive results. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: None. COMMUNICATIONS: The 2010 Annual Monitoring Report will be a public document that is available to the larger community. CONCLUSION: The information outlined in the attached report implements one of the action items of Goal 6 of the KGMS to establish an ongoing growth management program that includes preparing an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report, and is to be received for information by Kitchener City Council.

In response to numerous directions, including Compass Kitchener and the “Who-are-you-Kitchener” surveys, Council approved the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS) in support of the City’s Strategic Plan. Kitchener is expected to accommodate a relatively significant amount of residential and employment growth over the next twenty years. We are also mandated by the Province to achieve certain numerical targets and other planning objectives. Although other municipalities have established growth management programs, Kitchener is on the leading edge with respect to the ability to track and monitor specific growth data in a dynamic manner. As part of Kitchener’s ongoing growth management program the intent is to continually refine the data, improve the dynamic capabilities and provide information to help support numerous corporate studies and infrastructure projects. A ‘snapshot’ of the data is contained within this first KGMS – 2010 Monitoring Report. The results of the updated growth management data are encouraging. The number of residents and jobs per hectare (RJs/ha) in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown) is dramatically increasing from 131 RJs/ha as of four years ago to 151 RJs/ha now. This is an excellent step towards achieving the provincially-mandated target of 200 RJs/ha by 2031. Another significant achievement is that the amount of residential development occurring in the Built-up Area is 43%. This is very close to the target for urban municipalities within this region. No doubt the momentous efforts that the City, and other partners, have undertaken over the past decade to support intensification are now contributing to positive results.

The KGMS provides a framework for planning where and how future residential and employment growth can be accommodated in Kitchener while positively contributing to our quality of life. The goals and actions outlined in the KGMS support the provincial Places to Grow Growth Plan for the Greater Horseshoe (Places to Grow) and the Regional Growth Management Strategy (RGMS). The KGMS introduced an ongoing growth management program to manage growth- related change in an effective and co-ordinated manner (Goal 6). One of the action items of KGMS Goal 6 is to prepare an Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report to track the supply of development opportunities and the achievement of intensification and density targets. In fulfillment of this action item, the first Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report has been completed. The monitoring report is also an opportunity to provide an update on the progress of implementing the KGMS action items along with provincial and regional growth plans. This first monitoring report primarily updates the data from the KGMS Background Study: Current Baseline Report (Parts 6-9). It presents a summary of recent residential development rates and updates the potential capacity to accommodate growth both within the Built-up Area (intensification areas) and in the Designated Greenfield Area. The original data from the KGMS Background Study were as of June 16, 2008 (with some of the existing residential data at the time coming from the 2006 Census). This monitoring report updates the data to approximately June 16, 2010. 3.0 Annual Delegated Approval Authority Report The City of Kitchener is required to provide the Region of Waterloo with an annual report on the number and status of plans of subdivision, part-lot control exemption by-laws, consent applications, plans of condominium, and the number and type of units created by approvals for the preceding year. In addition, the Director of Planning is required to provide summary reports to inform Council of all delegated approvals. The most recent Delegated Approval Authority Report (DTS 10-050) was prepared earlier this year to include approvals for 2008-09. The Report is attached as Appendix A. Future versions of the KGMS Annual Monitoring Report will combine the information required for the delegated approval to provide a more efficient and effective process. 2 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 4.0 Residential Development Rates This section identifies the past development rates in the City of Kitchener regarding construction of new residential units by dwelling type. Figure 1: Residential Development Rates New Residential Dwelling Units Created Through Building Permit* 5-year 10-year 20-year AverageAverageAverage (1990- Dwelling Type 20082009 (2005-09)(2000-09)2009) Single Detached640469719794608 Semi-Detached 6352967490 Duplex023129 Street Townhouses 90164191180151 Cluster Townhouses 210154166150134 Multiple Dwellings** 66305317351234 Additions (duplex) 19231684 Total New Units 10881168150815691230 * Gross new units (conversion/additions included, demolitions not subtracted) ** Includes additions. Does not include cluster townhouses. There were 80 additional building permits issued for new residential dwelling units in 2009 compared to 2008. Although there were notably less building permits issued for single detached dwellings, there was an increase in both street townhouses and, proportionally, a very large increase in multiple dwellings units due to the construction of several new apartment buildings. Thus far in 2010 new residential dwelling units are up by approximately 300 compared to this time last year. Residential development rates over the past two years are lower than the previous high period of 2001-2007 as reflected in the 5- and 10-year average rates in the figure above. The current rate is actually now closer to the 20-year average. 5.0 Intensification Level Places to Grow requires that a minimum of 40% of all new residential development occur within a region’s Built-up Area by the year 2015. According to the Region of Waterloo’s new Official Plan the target for the urban municipalities, including Kitchener, is 45%. For some municipalities that still have a significant amount of greenfield lands available and limited intensification opportunities this could be a challenge. Kitchener is well positioned to achieve this target. The historic intensification levels, as per the provincial Built Boundary Line methodology, are relatively high and are indicated in the following Figure. 3 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 Figure 2: Intensification Level (2001 to present) The most recent measures of new residential units by type in the Built-up Area (BUA) and Designated Greenfield Area (DGA) are indicated in the Figure below. Figure 3: Intensification and Greenfield Development Levels (June 16/09 – June 15/10) Greenfield Area Built-up Area Dwelling Type Building Permits Building Permits Total Single Detached 447165613 Semi-Detached 6642108 Duplex52326 Street Townhouses15737194 Cluster Townhouses 49133182 Multiple Dwellings67185252 Total7915851375 Percent of Total 57% 43% 100% Between June 16, 2009 and June 15, 2010 the intensification level in Kitchener has increased to 43%. The construction of new multiple dwelling units and cluster townhouses (often on sites from 20-30 year old subdivision blocks) contributes to this fairly high rate. It is expected that the intensification level will remain relatively high in the next few years as more redevelopments occurs in the Urban Growth Centre (Downtown), such as the City Centre project, along with the construction of other multiple dwellings and remaining subdivision lots that are located inside the Built Area. When new subdivision growth areas are ready for development there will likely be additional pressures in the DGA. It may be challenging to maintain a high intensification rate until such time as most of the greenfield lands are exhausted, similar to recent experience in some other municipalities. 4 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 6.0 Intensification Areas – Existing Measures and Capacity for New Growth Existing Measures This section quantifies the existing number of dwelling units, residents, jobs and density measure for the currently identified intensification areas in Kitchener. Given the challenges with MPAC data regarding accuracy of building floor space, this information is not contained within the tables of this monitoring report. Figure 4: Existing Measures for Current Intensification Areas IntensificationUnitsResidentsNon-Residential Jobs**Residents+ AreaFloor Space (m²)* jobs/ha Urban Growth 21233852*12314151 Centre Primary Node 18042292*448469 Mixed Use Nodes 35725762*587736 Mixed Use 17132818*669178 Corridors Neighbourhood163407*198756 Mixed Use Centres Comprehensive 1026*523 Development Areas Grand Total 938515157*31405 * The non-residential building floor space data is currently being refined. ** Some locations may be missing job data. The database is currently being confirmed. UGC jobs reported as per Economic Development Downtown Database. The existing measures for residential dwelling units within the intensification areas has increased by approximately 700 units in the last two years with the greatest increase occurring in the Urban Growth Centre (UGC). This increase in new residents, along with continual employment growth, contributes to a rapidly rising density measure. The province established a target that our UGC should be planned to achieve at least 200 RJs/ha by the year 2031. Several years ago they measured our density to be 120 RJs/ha according to 2001 Census figures. The June 2008 figure from the KGMS Background Study was a UGC density of 131 RJs/ha. As indicated in the Figure above, the current density is up to 151 RJs/ha. The recent occupation of the Kaufman Lofts and the Health Sciences campus has contributed to this exceptional increase. Additional intensification currently happening or proposed in the UGC such as the Lang Tannery, the Breithaupt Block, Arrow Lofts and the City Centre project should continue to help achieve the target. These type of redevelopments not only help achieve the provincial numerical target but, perhaps more importantly, they positively contribute to the social, environmental, economic and cultural well-being of the community. 5 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 Capacity for New Growth The following figure explores the potential for accommodating new development within each of the current intensification areas based on the existing zoning only. Figure 5: Additional Capacity Measures for Current Intensification Areas 50% Scenario It is assumed that the intensification opportunities may be accommodated on average to 50% of their maximum zoned capacity during the next planning horizon.

The database is currently being confirmed. UGC jobs reported as per Economic Development Downtown Database. The existing residential unit capacity within each Intensification Area has changed over the past several years. In four Intensification Areas (UGC, Primary Node, Mixed Use Nodes and Neighbourhood Mixed Use Centres), the residential unit capacity has decreased due to recent development activity. In the Mixed Use Corridors the residential unit capacity has increased as expected. This is primarily due to many properties now having the new mixed use zones which for some areas allows for an increase in use and density. Potential redevelopment scenario in the Stanley Park Mixed Use Node (looking south on River Rd towards Ottawa St) 6 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 7.0 Estimated Land Supply (Kitchener Measures) The estimated land supply for Kitchener is a total of the potential capacity within the Built-up Area and the Designated Greenfield Area. As development moves from raw land through the development approvals stage and eventually to construction; the land supply estimate items become more accurate. 7.1 Potential Built-Up Area (BUA) Supply The intensification inventory includes lands within the Built Boundary Line. It is a summary of the potential capacity within intensification areas (Figure 5), site specific intensification opportunities (SSIOs such as brownfield or other isolated underutilized parcels), a minor intensification factor within existing neighbourhoods and the potential supply from registered, draft approved or future subdivisions that were captured in the BUA.

Within the SSIOs it is noted that the number of jobs has decreased and units count has increased as expected. This is primarily due to the rezoning of some industrial properties usually to residential or mixed use. The draft approved unit numbers did not increase significantly as there were limited plans of subdivision within the built boundary that were draft approved in the last 2 years. The number of dwelling units within registered plans (vacant land inventory) decreased as new homes are built. Overall, the total potential supply within BUA lands (under the current zoning provisions) increased by approximately 1,600 residential dwelling units and 2,000 residents. This is primarily due to the new Mixed Use Corridor zoning that is now in place for many properties. 7.2 Potential Designated Greenfield Area Supply The potential Greenfield inventory includes all lands outside the Built Boundary Line that are designated for development in the City’s Official Plan. It also includes lands that are not designated in the Official Plan but are part of the City’s Urban Area according to ROPP Amendment No. 16. These lands are currently under study and the estimated new population and employment numbers will change pending the outcome of the community master plan.

This accounts for the increase in the number of draft approved units and a decrease for those that are in circulation. 8 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 7.3 Estimated Total Supply The potential supply of both intensification and Greenfield inventories can be combined to provide a total estimated inventory of potential new units and residents for Kitchener.

The estimated total supply of dwelling units and residents has decreased slightly since June 2008 which is expected as growth continues to occur. 8.0 Current Capacity for Growth This section compares the current population capacity compared to the 2029 planning horizon population allocation. Figure 9: Population Projections vs. Estimated Capacity Estimated 2010 Population 229,200 New Population Capacity 93,175 Total322,375 2029 Population Allocation (new Region Official Plan) 313,500 Difference+8,875 The table above shows that the lands within the City of Kitchener have a current capacity for accommodating approximately 9,000 more residents than the population allocation for the 2029 planning horizon. Betzner Brownstones (King Street) 9 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 9.0 Places to Grow Implementation The City of Kitchener is presently undertaking a review of its Official Plan. The new Official Plan will be updated to include policies that will further aid in the implementation of Places to Grow. The KGMS and this monitoring report also provide a mechanism for monitoring new development and tracking how we are achieving provincial requirements. Growth Forecasts Regional allocations of population and employment forecast that Kitchener may grow by approximately 100,000 persons and 30,000 jobs from 2006 to 2031. In response, the City developed background information in support of the KGMS that analyses the growth capacity of various areas of the City. As indicated in the figure above, Kitchener still has the capacity to accommodate the allocated growth into appropriate areas. Urban Growth Centre Places to Grow requires that our Urban Growth Centre be planned to achieve a minimum of 200 persons and jobs per hectare by 2031. The present density is 151 pj/ha. Kitchener is well on its way to achieving the provincial target. Intensification Places to Grow requires that a significant proportion of residential development be directed to the BUA by 2015. For our municipality, the target according to the new Region Official Plan is 45%. To achieve and monitor this target, the City has a dynamic system that tracks building permit issuance for new residential units inside and outside the Built Boundary Line on a daily basis. For the past year, Kitchener had a 43% intensification level which more than a 10% increase from the prior two years. Greenfield Densities Places to Grow mandates that future development within the DGA should achieve specific, transit-supportive density targets. For our municipality, the target according to the new Region Official Plan is 55 residents and jobs per hectare in residential subdivisions. Kitchener is well positioned to meet this target. Plans of subdivision that were already approved before Places to Grow and that are being recently constructed were already exceeding 50 RJs/ha on average. Numerous recent plans that have received approvals in Kitchener meet or exceed the current 55 RJs/ha target. Additional work is underway as part of the new Official Plan to further refine what this target means for specific areas in Kitchener. Also, the Kitchener Growth Management Plan (KGMP) provides a tool that for identifying and tracking greenfield subdivision density. Planning Principles Planning a city is not just about achieving certain numerical targets. The majority of Places to Grow includes policy direction to achieve healthy and complete communities. Kitchener has long been a leader in promoting walkable, transit-supportive development. Kitchener’s efforts to continue to revitalize the Urban Growth Centre, clean up brownfield sites and achieve mixed use developments that are pedestrian-oriented are significant. We are further striving to enhance the linkages between land use planning and other community considerations such as transportation options, community infrastructure, social dynamics, economics and environmental conservation. Ultimately, the goal is to help achieve a higher quality of life in a healthy community. 10 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 10.0 Regional Growth Management Strategy Implementation The goals outlined in the Regional Growth Management Strategy (RGMS), are largely reflected in the goals of the Kitchener Growth Management Strategy (KGMS). As a result, many of the KGMS action items described in the following section below will support the implementation of the RGMS. In addition to the goals outlined in the KGMS, specific initiatives that support the RGMS include: Air Quality in Kitchener 2010 o Kitchener Energy and Water Efficiency for Land and Buildings Community o Improvement Program Participation in Regional Greenlands Strategy and incorporation into our new Official o Plan City involvement in the Regional Transportation Management Plan o City’s involvement in a partnership study regarding Transportation Demand o Management and parking with the Region, Waterloo and Cambridge Involvement with Regional Rapid Transit EA and associated works o The Plan for a Healthy Kitchener (Healthy Communities Plan) o Involvement in the east side employment lands project o Significant efforts in downtown Kitchener help support the new economy and vibrant o urban places A role in the “Going to Market” study o Coordination of KGMS and KGMP initiatives with the Region o 11.0 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy Implementation The KGMS encompasses six goals that facilitate managing growth and development within the City of Kitchener. These goals support the RGMS and have been adapted to the City of Kitchener context. Over the course of the past two years a significant share of the objectives, initiatives and recommendations of the KGMS have been initiated and completed. Goal 1: Enhance our Valued Natural and Cultural Heritage Resources 1. Prepare a Consolidated Local Greenlands Network The City is presently completing the Natural Heritage System inventory. Mapping and associated policies from the project will be incorporated into the Official Plan Update in 2011. 2. Strengthen Official Plan Policies for the Build Environment to be more ‘green’ The review of the Green Development policies has been completed. New or revised ‘green’ policies will be included in the Official Plan in 2011. 3. Implement Official Plan Policies by adding more ‘green’ to the Urban Design Manual Implementation of ‘green’ policy will be incorporated into the completion of the Official Plan. 11 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 4. Water Management: Implement Sub-watershed/Functional Study Recommendations There are specific water management studies occurring as part of the Southwest Urban Area studies. 5. Integrate the Heritage Inventory/Registry with the Growth Management Plan Heritage properties are now mapped and can be layered with intensification areas and other Official plan layers. 6. Identify Cultural Heritage Landscapes There will be polices in the new Official Plan regarding Cultural Heritage properties. The Cultural Heritage Inventory project is scheduled for 2012 – 2013. Specific Cultural Heritage Landscapes are being investigated as part of the Southwest Urban Area studies. Goal 2: Create Vibrant Urban Places 1. Establish Minimum Density Requirements for Major Intensification Areas Minimum density requirements are being considered by the Comprehensive Review of Intensification Areas project currently underway. 2. Undertake an Intensification Area Detailed Review st Completion of Intensification Areas project report went to the June 21 2010 DTS meeting. Based on this work, the City is now considering new policies for the Official Plan. 2a. Analyze Sanitary and Engineering Infrastructure City-wide Capacity Modeling of Sanitary and Engineering Infrastructure is now complete. A final report for the project is under review. 3. Investigate the Role of Fischer Hallman Road south of Westmount Road Regional road design guidelines were investigated for Fischer Hallman Road. This is part of the community master planning for the Southwest Urban Areas Study. 4. Develop an “Intensification Opportunity” Product Revisions and updates to Site Specific Intensification Opportunities (SSIO) are underway. Goal 3: Ensure Greater Transportation Choice 1. Implement City Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan TDM recommendations are expected to be incorporated into the Transportation Master Plan. 2. Prepare a City Transportation Master Plan The TMP is underway and is scheduled for 2011 completion. 2a. Implement a Cycling Route Installation Plan The approved Cycling Master Plan includes implementation policies for new cycling routes within the City of Kitchener. 12 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 Goal 4: Foster a Strong Economy 1. Prepare a Comprehensive Employment Lands Review The Comprehensive Employment Lands review is now complete. Polices resulting from the study will be included into the Official Plan 2. Engage in Infrastructure Funding Discussions with Other Levels of Government There has been some success with this goal including the pending GO service coming to Kitchener, as well as received infrastructure stimulus funding. Goal 5: Strengthen Communities 1. Conduct Long Range Planning Staff has prepared an internal demographics profile report that will be used in the development of Official Plan Policies. 2. Enhance the Implementation of Future Park and Leisure Facility Planning The Parks Master Plan is complete and ready for Council’s final approval. The report includes recommendations for strengthening policies in the new Official Plan. The location of community facilities in the Southwest is also being considered as part of the Community Master Plan. 3. Compile a Community Infrastructure Plan A Community Infrastructure Plan is currently underway. 4. Proceed with a Neighbourhood Development & Community Sustainability Strategy This item is currently deferred. 5. Distribute Affordable Housing – Greenfield/Intensification Areas The City will continue investigating opportunities in new Official Plan and in Southwest Urban Area study. Goal 6: Manage Change in an Effective and Coordinated Manner 1. Establish an Ongoing Growth Management Program Growth Management is being integrated into ongoing operations within the Development and Technical Services Department. 1a. Prepare a Annual Growth Management Monitoring Report The KGMS – 2010 Monitoring Report satisfies this action. 1b. Prepare a Biannual Growth Management Plan This extensive process was completed in the Spring of 2009. In 2009 – 2010, the KGMP was approved. Updates to the Plan will be developed in 2011. 2. Assess the Designated Greenfield Area and Density Achievement After a significant amount of work, including numerous meetings with the working group, the Designated Greenfield Area assessment has been completed. The Kitchener overall target for Greenfield development is planned at 55 RJs/ha for residential plans of subdivisions. 13 Kitchener Growth Management Strategy 2010 Annual Monitoring Report DTS 10-167 4. Link the KGMS with the Development Charges Study and Capital Budget & Forecast Extensive work was done in the 2009 Development Charges Background Study to link Development Charges with the KGMS and KGMP. Community infrastructure projects timing and costs are coordinated though KGMP Development Charges study and Capital budget and forecasts. Also, the Development Charges Credit for Service Policy is linked to the KGMP. 5. Implement Phase III – Growth Management Communication Plan Communication and presentation regarding implementation of KGMS are on going. 6. Investigate Public/Private Partnerships Partnerships will be considered when opportunities arise. 7. Initiate the New Official Plan A new Official Plan has been initiated and is underway which is scheduled to be completed next year. 12.0 Kitchener Growth Management Plan TheKitchener Growth Management Plan (KGMP) is an evolved form of the former Staging of Development program and is used as a tool to assist with the implementation of the KGMS. The KGMP established priority levels for development and projects for each growth area within the City of Kitchener. It includes the prioritization and allocation of resources towards completing initiatives that are required to move lands from the draft approval stage to registration, construction and developing complete communities. The KGMP is expected to be updated in 2011. However, prior to next year’s update, there is more work that has to occur within the priority areas. There are approximately 8-10 plans that have now been approved or close to approvals along with many zone change and site plan applications within the Priority A and B areas. Also, approximately 15 of 17 Priority A and B projects have been completed or underway. However, there are and will continue to be significant challenges to accommodate continual growth and related infrastructure in a fiscally responsible manner in more than one growth area at a time. 14 APPENDIX A – DTS-10-050 – Delegated Approval Authority Report REPORT  Report To: Development and Technical Services Committee Date of Meeting: May 10, 2010 Submitted By: Alain Pinard, Interim Director of Planning Prepared By: Mike Elliott, Mapping Technologist (519-741-2851) Alexandra Pires, Planning Technician (519-741-3400 ext. 3177) Ward(s) Involved: All Date of Report: May 4, 2010 Report No.: DTS-10-050 Subject: Delegated Approval Authority Report for 2008 and 2009 RECOMMENDATION 1.
