WHEREAS the opioid crisis is one of the largest
public health emergencies of our lifetime, with a death on average about every
two hours and a death toll of 21,174 in the last five years (in Canada, January
2016 to December 2020); and,
WHEREAS other countries have significantly
reduced drug-related fatalities with drug policy reforms such as legal
regulation of controlled substances to ensure safe supply, the
decriminalization of people who use controlled substances for personal use,
along with additional harm reduction strategies; and,
WHEREAS the federal government has indicated it
is premature to discuss these measures until there are comprehensive supports
for people to get well; and,
WHEREAS supports are needed, but measures that
save lives are essential if people are to survive and access supports and that
ensuring real, adequate, and sustained engagement with people who use drugs as
a legitimate stakeholder population is essential to effective drug policy
reform; and,
WHEREAS the Ontario’s Big City Mayors have
called on the federal government to decriminalize controlled substances and the
Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police has stated that they agree the
evidence suggests “decriminalization for simple possession as an effective way
to reduce the public health and public safety harms associated with substance
use”, causing the government to indicate that it is now “deliberating” over
decriminalization; and,
WHEREAS the overdose crisis rages, showing few
signs of abating, including in Ottawa which had 218 suspected opioid-related deaths
in 2020 – an increase of 75 percent from a year earlier.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Ottawa City Council
direct Mayor Watson to write on its behalf to the Government of Canada
requesting that it declare the overdose crisis a national public health
emergency so that it is taken seriously and funded appropriately; and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council request that
the Government of Canada immediately seek input from the people most affected
by this crisis and meet with provinces and territories to develop a
comprehensive, pan-Canadian overdose action plan, which includes comprehensive
supports, such as evidence-informed prevention programming, stigma reduction,
increased access to harm reduction and treatment services, as well as
addressing the social determinants of health and full consideration of reforms
that other countries have used to significantly reduce drug-related fatalities
and stigma, such as legal regulation of controlled substances to ensure safe
supply of pharmaceutical alternatives to toxic street drugs, and decriminalization
of people who use controlled substances for personal use.
MOTION
Moved by Councillor R. King
Seconded by Councillor G. Gower
WHEREAS the
Rockcliffe Park Residents’ Association on behalf of the Village of Rockcliffe
Park has filed an application for the commemoration of Rockcliffe Park as a
Historic District of National Significance with the Historic Sites and
Monuments Board of Canada (the “Board”); and
WHEREAS an
endorsement from the municipality is required as part of this application; and
WHEREAS The
Rockcliffe Park Heritage Conservation District comprises the entire former
village of Rockcliffe Park and was designated under Part V of the Ontario
Heritage Act in 1997 for its rare and significant approach to estate layout
and landscape design; and
WHEREAS one of
the objectives of the Rockcliffe Park Heritage Conservation District Plan is to
conserve and enhance Rockcliffe Park’s unique character as a planned and
designed 19th century community characterized by its narrow curving roads,
without curbs or sidewalks, large lots and gardens and buildings set within a visually
continuous green landscape; and
WHEREAS
Historic districts constitute appropriate subjects for commemoration by the
Board and are classified as geographically defined areas which create a special
sense of time and place through buildings, structures and open spaces modified
by human use and which are united by past events and use and/or aesthetically,
by architecture and plan; and
WHEREAS such
commemoration does not provide additional regulatory authority on the part of
the municipality or that of the federal government in respect of such sites.
THEREFORE BE IT
RESOLVED that Council endorse the application by
the Rockcliffe Park Residents’ Association for the commemoration of Rockcliffe
Park as a Historic District of National Significance under the present
legislation, being the Historic Sites and Monuments Act R.S.C., 1985, c.
H-4.
Note: The following Menard/ Leiper Motion of which Notice was
previously given at the July 7, 2021 City Council meeting has been revised
pursuant to Subsection 59(5) of the Procedure By-law.
MOTION
Moved by Councillor S. Menard
Seconded by Councillor J. Leiper
WHEREAS the new OP is expected to guide growth
in the City of Ottawa for the next 25 years; and
WHEREAS robust modelling is needed for residents
and stakeholders to understand the likely changes and impacts of proposed
Official Plan (OP) policies as it relates to meeting growth management goals;
and
WHEREAS the city has not yet shared this modelling,
many communities and residents are inferring or guessing as to whether the OP
is likely to reach our intensification objectives, and
WHEREAS without this modelling residents have
limited ability to gauge whether the new OP policies will permit or enable
zoning that can be absorbed in neighbourhoods; and
WHEREAS the draft new OP included a minimum
density requirement of 80 DUs/NHa, and PIED has indicated that they have “done
the math”, with respect to the removal of this policy from the new OP and that
it is still possible to meet our growth targets; and
WHEREAS the draft new OP also included language
that would allow upzoning within neighbourhood residential streets up to 4
storeys to meet growth management objectives, and it is critical to understand
the likely development potential in new dwelling units for OP policies; and
WHEREAS once policy language in the OP is
adopted, the City is usually wedded to applications that meet the OP language,
regardless of the zoning, so that built form under the OP becomes essentially
“as of right”, which is why rationale, supported by modelling, that
demonstrates likely outcomes is so critical; and
WHEREAS in the last year, many requests have
been made for the City to share its modelling including public statements to
the effect that modelling analysis done by PIED has been robust and an integral
part of the analysis in support of OP policies, and
WHEREAS communities were expecting to see
modelling when the draft OP was released; and
WHEREAS the City needs to share the modelling
that is underpinning/informing new OP policy and should provide a reasonable
amount of time to review it before the OP proceeds to Planning Committee in
order to demonstrate to residents and stakeholders that the proposed OP policies
are the right ones and critical to building understanding and support for this
OP;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City of Ottawa
share its modelling of the new OP policies publicly, as soon as possible, at
the same time as the release of the revised draft, so that enough time is
afforded to residents to review it and demonstrate a real intent to provide
meaningful engagement on the modelling, given the City’s current expedited
timeline for the OP.
MOTION
Moved by Councillor S. Menard
Seconded by Councillor J. Leiper
WHEREAS big cities
who consider expanding their urban boundaries also ensure the costs for such
expansions are estimated and noted publicly prior to a decision on expansion; and
WHEREAS Ottawa is a big city in Canada; and
WHEREAS at the July 6, 2021 meeting of FEDCO, the Report on Budget
Directions indicated that the City of Ottawa should “achieve fiscal
discipline...” and “....help Council mitigate tax increases to an acceptable
level”
WHEREAS The staff report on the New Official Plan Growth Management
Strategy presented to Council on May 27, 2020 recommended the inclusion of
between 1,350-1,650 gross hectares of new urban residential and employment
land; and
WHEREAS the report did not include any estimates on the cost to
taxpayers to build and maintain new infrastructure to support development on
greenfield parcels over the long-term, as compared to augmenting existing
infrastructure in the built-up area; and
WHEREAS recent analysis on growth patterns in cities across the
country show that a centrally focused development pattern is more financially
efficient than large expansion scenarios, resulting in a net increase of city
revenues of 8% and a decrease in tax pressures on residents;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Ottawa provide a public
estimate of the costs for urban boundary expansion in respect to new infrastructure
creation, operation and maintenance over the time horizon of the new
Official Plan, and that this information be presented to the joint Committee
and Council as part of the report back on the final draft of the New
Official Plan.
