MOTIONS REQUIRING SUSPENSION OF THE RULES OF PROCEDURE

MOTION No. 54/8

Moved by Councillor M. Taylor
Seconded by Councillor B. Monette

That the Rules of Procedure be suspended due to timelines, as new legislative requirements came into force on May 30, 2017, to consider the following Motion:

WHEREAS on May 30, 2017, Bill 68, the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, which amends approximately 16 pieces of legislation, including the Municipal Act, 2001 (the “Act”), the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (the “MCIA”) and the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (the “MEA”), was passed by the Ontario government and received Royal Assent; and

WHEREAS, as described in the memorandum to Members of Council from the City Clerk and Solicitor dated July 7, 2017, and appended to this motion as Attachment 1, Bill 68 makes changes that affect a number of policies, procedures, processes and by-laws in the City of Ottawa, with some mandatory changes taking effect upon Royal Assent and many significant mandatory amendments coming into force on a later date to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor; and

WHEREAS there is a need to ensure immediate compliance with some specific new legislative requirements that took effect upon May 30, 2017, specifically with respect to providing for parental and pregnancy leave for Members of Council and the need to provide for a housekeeping amendment for the “By-law to appoint Councillors to act in place of the Mayor” (By-law No. 2014-440), to update and include the Municipal Act, 2001 reference related to delegation of authority; and

WHEREAS, with respect to providing for pregnancy and parental leave for Members of Council, effective May 30, 2017, Subsection 259(1.1) of the Act, as amended by Bill 68, provides for Members of Council to take up to 20 consecutive weeks of pregnancy/parental leave without requiring a motion of Council; and

WHEREAS, when Members take extended leave, provision must be made for the delegation of authority for those administrative and legislative matters assigned to the Members, such as:

·         The Delegation of Authority By-law requires the concurrence by the Ward Councillor prior to various planning and other approvals being given;

·         Other matters that require the concurrence of the Ward Councillor;

·         Committee/Commission membership; and/or

·         Office expense matters, such as routine bills that are either of an administrative nature (i.e. phone/cable charges, newspaper/magazine subscription, etc.) or expenditures that have been previously authorized by the Member’s office; and

WHEREAS Subsection 83(13) of the Procedure By-law No. 2016-377, which is consistent with the pre-Bill 68 Municipal Act, 2001, currently provides for potential termination of a Committee/Commission membership should a Member fail to attend three successive regular or Special Meetings thereof without being authorized to do so by a resolution of the Committee/Commission, and this must be amended to reflect the new pregnancy/parental leave exemption provided by Bill 68, as well as address the related Council considerations outlined in Attachment 1; and

WHEREAS, with respect to Deputy Mayors, City Council has “A By-law to appoint Councillors to act in place of the Mayor” (By-law No. 2014-440), which appoints two Members to act from time to time in the place of the Mayor when the Mayor is absent from the City or absent through illness or the office is vacant, as Deputy Mayors, and, in addition to presiding at Council meetings, these Members provide representation at events, sign legal documents and act in any other capacity when the Mayor is absent or unavailable; and

WHEREAS, particularly during the summer months when schedules are often difficult to coordinate, City Council may appoint an Acting Deputy Mayor, also pursuant to Section 242 of the Act, to ensure there is someone available to sign legal documents and address other administrative matters in a timely fashion should the Mayor and Deputy Mayors be absent or unavailable at the same time; and

WHEREAS “A By-law to appoint Councillors to act in place of the Mayor” (By-law No. 2014-440) provides that delegated authority pursuant to Section 242 of the Act, as well as Section 5 of the Procedure By-law; and

WHEREAS, effective May 30, 2017, Section 242 of the Act was amended by Bill 68 to state that, “A municipality may, by by-law or resolution, appoint a member of the council to act in the place of the head of council or other member of council designated to preside at meetings in the municipality’s procedure by-law when the head of council or designated member is absent or refuses to act or the office is vacant, and while so acting such member has all the powers and duties of the head of council or designated member, as the case may be, with respect to the role of presiding at meetings”; and

WHEREAS, in order to ensure that the Deputy Mayors and Acting Deputy Mayors appointed by Council have legislative authority to continue to fulfill all aspects of their current responsibilities following the change to Section 242, staff recommend an amendment to By-law No. 2014-440 such that Deputy Mayors are additionally delegated the necessary duties and powers currently required for their roles, pursuant to Section 23.1 of the Act, which authorizes a municipality to delegate its powers and duties under that statute or any other Act, to a person or body, subject to certain restrictions (none of which relate to the powers and duties exercised by the Deputy Mayors in their current roles); and

WHEREAS staff is reviewing the mandatory impacts of Bill 68 provisions that will come into force at a later, as yet unannounced, date, as well as the new, discretionary tools provided by the legislation;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council approve the following amendments to existing by-laws related to pregnancy and parental leave for Members of Council and the housekeeping amendments to the Deputy Mayor By-law pursuant to the changes to the Municipal Act, 2001 following the passage of Bill 68, and enact the related amending by-laws, as follows:

1.    That Subsection 83(13) of the Procedure By-law No. 2016-377 be amended to incorporate the pregnancy/parental leave provisions of the Municipal Act, 2001 resulting from Bill 68, the Modernizing Ontario’s Municipal Legislation Act, 2017, and a related process that provides for Council to consider legislative and administrative matters relating to a Member’s extended leave, as described in Attachment 1 and set out in Attachment 2; and

2.    That, following changes to Section 242 of the Municipal Act, 2001 resulting from Bill 68, the “By-law to appoint Councillors to act in place of the Mayor” (By-law No. 2014-440) be amended to add that, pursuant to Section 23.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001, the Members of Council appointed to act in place of the Mayor be delegated the duties and powers necessary to continue to fulfill the current requirements of their roles as Deputy Mayors or Acting Deputy Mayor, specifically in relation to providing representation at events, signing legal documents and acting in any other capacity when the Mayor is absent or unavailable, as described in Attachment 1 and set out in Attachment 3; and

3.    That the City Clerk and Solicitor be delegated the authority to amend any additional policies and procedures necessary to reflect these changes; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to bring forward to the Finance and Economic Development Committee and City Council a comprehensive report with respect to the mandatory legislative changes resulting from Bill 68 identified in Attachment 1 by Q3 2017.

That the Rules of Procedure be suspended to consider the following motion, in order to allow the institution of interim control within Sandy Hill, Heron Park, and portions of Old Ottawa East, Old Ottawa South, Centretown and Overbrook as it is peak construction season and as such motion could not otherwise be heard until the end of the summer.

WHEREAS the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law No. 2008-250 controls the size of the building envelope for low-rise single detached and multi-unit dwellings, but does not regulate the number of bedrooms in such dwellings;

AND WHEREAS development in some of Ottawa’s inner urban established neighbourhoods of low-rise single detached dwellings and low-rise multi-unit dwellings is resulting in the creation of units with multiple bedrooms making these units and developments appear more as rooming houses rather than more traditional dwelling units within a more traditional residential dwelling type and in a way that is disruptive to maintaining a healthy fabric and character for these neighbourhoods;

AND WHEREAS a review is being undertaken of the current zoning for inner urban residential communities that is known as the R4 Review (given the predominate zoning of these neighbourhoods as R4) to ensure that zoning provisions will provide for new development and change within established mature neighbourhoods that will maintain and positively contribute to the neighbourhood fabric and character of these neighbourhoods while still allowing for gradual evolution as dynamic mature communities;

AND WHEREAS there is a need to allow the study to be completed and to ensure that those developments that are causing considerable concern to how neighbourhoods are being impacted is held in abeyance:

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the ongoing R4 Study being undertaken by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department be deemed the study required to be directed by Council pursuant to Section 38 of the Planning Act in respect of the land use planning policies associated with low-rise single detached and multi-unit dwellings for the purposes of assessing the land use planning impact of such dwellings where they contain more than four bedrooms and establishing further zoning standards to help ensure their compatibility and that the Study be expanded to include R1, R2, and R3 zoned lands within the study area; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Council enact an Interim Control by-law to apply to all residential R1, R2, R3 and R4 zones within the area defined on the maps attached to this motion with the Interim Control By-law setting out the following prohibitions:

1.    No dwelling unit in any building other than a single detached dwelling may contain more than 4 bedrooms and no such unit may exceed 120 m2 in floor area;

2.    No single detached dwelling may contain more than 6 bedrooms; and

3.    No multi unit dwelling with 6 dwelling units or fewer may exceed a total floor area of 500m2 measured from the inside of the exterior walls, including any basement, motor vehicle storage area, or any other building area.

4.    Notwithstanding the above, development located at 70 Russell Avenue is not subject to these regulations.

WHEREAS the City’s zoning by-law, being By-law 2008-250, as amended, seeks to regulate development in residential zones in a manner that is compatible with existing land use patterns, including for example, so that detached dwellings and the residential character of neighbourhoods are maintained or enhanced;

AND WHEREAS, given the relatively recent advent and increase in the use of popular online platforms that facilitate bookings for short-term residential use in a variety of neighbourhoods and zones across the City;

AND WHEREAS such use may have an impact on residential neighbourhoods, including the potential for increased traffic, parking, noise, and related property issues and which may have unintended consequences on maintaining or enhancing neighbourhoods;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council direct the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department, in consultation with the City Clerk and Solicitor Department, to report back to Planning Committee, by Q4 2017, with an update on the availability and effectiveness of existing regulatory tools under the Zoning By-law 2008-250, to address complaints that may be associated with such short-term uses, including potential conflicting land uses.
