Services and Housing Sector; and
WHEREAS the City of Ottawa continues to value its partnerships with
community stakeholders (including our local community legal clinics) and
wants to ensure that we all continue to work and collaborate with each other to
ensure the proposed legal aid budget cuts will not impact the community legal
clinic’s ability to represent and protect the legal needs of our residents; and
WHEREAS the Community Legal Services of Ottawa is committed
to upholding the rights of the most vulnerable people of Ottawa on issues that
are most critical to them, including access to basic needs income support
programs (Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, Canada Pension

resolving Landlord and Tenant issues, and legal support to new Canadians to
resolve complex immigration and refugee issues, all of which will also impact
many other areas that affect low-income people and thereby further burdening
the City’s resources; and
WHEREAS the budget cuts to Legal Aid Ontario will have a
severe impact on the ability of Community Legal Services of Ottawa and
its legal aid partners to provide legal services to Ontario’s most vulnerable
populations and assist them in meeting their most basic needs and live with health
and dignity as active members of their communities; and
WHEREAS the Community Legal Services of Ottawa has been
providing services to Ottawa residents for over 31 years across the entire city

they also provided legal assistance to a further 1,350 tenants), Disability
Law Assistance (including representing clients on tribunal appeals when
their applications for disability benefits are denied) and Immigration Law
Assistance (where in 2018 they assisted 977 individuals and families); and
WHEREAS to further ensure that the Community Legal Services of
Ottawa continue to receive the support they need and emphasize the
long-term consequences to the City and its residents that all would be further
burden on the Social Services and Affordable Housing sector of the City;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor write to the Province of
Ontario to ask that the provincial funding for community legal clinics be
maintained and that a copy of this motion be sent to the Provincial Minister of
Finance and Attorney General.

Whereas the Modernizing Municipal Elections Act, 2016 (“Bill 181”)
received Royal Assent on June 9, 2016 and introduced a new statutory framework
governing advertisements by registered third parties; and
Whereas two by-laws govern election signs, being By-law 2003-520, as
amended (“Signs on City Roads”) and By-law No. 2004-239, as amended (“
Temporary Signs on Private Property”); and
Whereas, in response to Bill 181, Council approved a staff report
(ACS2017-CCS-GEN-0026) to amend the two by-laws governing elections signs
(By-law 2003-520 and By-law 2004-239) to ensure that these by-laws addressed
the signs of registered third parties; and
Whereas the amendment to By-law 2003-520 proposed by staff wrongly included
references to election sign dimensions that had been previously repealed by
Council on May 26, 2004 through its approval of amending By-law 2004-250; and
Whereas a federal election is scheduled for Monday, October 21, 2019 and
staff recommend clarifying the rules concerning election sign dimensions for
signs on public roadways for the next federal election and all future
municipal, provincial and federal elections; and
WHEREAS under By-law 2003-520 (“Signs on City Roads”) signs on
public properties are only permitted 30 days before Voting Day; and
WHEREAS under By-law No. 2004-239 (“Temporary Signs on Private
Property”) signs on public properties are only permitted 30 days before Voting
Day; and
WHEREAS under section 57 of the Canada Elections Act the
federal election period must last between a minimum of 36 days and a maximum of
50 days (i.e. “Writs of election”) and this period does not align with the
30-day period set out in By-law 2003-520; and
WHEREAS enforcement of signs by-laws during an election period
requires significant municipal resources;
Therefore be it resolved that staff be directed to amend By-law 2003-520 to remove all size
restrictions for election signs on public roadways; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to amend By-law
2003-520 for the purposes of the 2019 general federal election such that signs
be permitted on public properties once the Chief Electoral Officer of Canada
issues the Writs, which will be between a minimum of 36 days to a maximum of 50
days before federal voting day; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff be directed to review the by-laws
governing election signs to consider the potential for broader and longer-term
amendments and that staff be directed to report back to Council as part of the
Mid-Term Governance Review or at the earliest policy review opportunity; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that staff from the Office of the City Clerk
and Solicitor be directed to list the appropriate amending By-law on the next
Council Agenda.

WHEREAS at its meeting of June 27, 2018, Council adopted the
following recommendation in respect of the redevelopment of the Chateau Laurier
at 1 Rideau Street:
That Council:
1.
approve the application to alter the Château
Laurier, 1 Rideau Street, a property designated under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act, based on plans received on May 9 and 30, 2018, on the condition
that staff be directed to work with the applicant to make the proposed addition
more visually compatible with the existing Chateau Laurier, prior to site plan
approval, as
follows:
a.
meaningfully increasing the use of Indiana
limestone cladding on the building exterior to reduce its contrast and enhance
its bond with the existing building;
b.
modifying the addition by sculpting,
recessing, and breaking up the unrelieved uniformity of the north façade using
elements and forms that are specifically drawn from, and relate to, the
existing Chateau Laurier’s rich palette of forms;
c.
altering the architectural expression on the
north, west and east facades to introduce fenestration patterns, details and
geometric proportions that are specifically drawn from, and relate to, the
existing Chateau Laurier’s elements;
d.
the applicant revise the plans received on
May 9 and May 30, 2018 to reflect the design changes outlined above; and,
e.
the General Manager of the Planning,
Infrastructure and Economic Development Department be delegated the authority
to approve such design changes to the heritage permit;
WHEREAS the Château Laurier is an iconic, prominent, and much
beloved architectural and historic landmark in the City of Ottawa and the
National Capital Region;
WHERES AS the Château Laurier is a Historic Place designated under
Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, a National Historic Site, and an
irreplaceable element in the visual setting of the Rideau Canal UNESCO World
Heritage Site, the Parliamentary Precinct, Major`s Hill Park, Confederation
Square and Confederation Boulevard, and;
WHERE AS City Council adopted the Parks Canada’s document ‘Standards
and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada’ in 2008, and;
WHEREAS Standard 11 of that document states that the additions must
be “physically and visually compatible with the historic place”; and
WHEREAS “compatible” is generally agreed to mean “able to exist or
work together without conflict”;
WHEREAS the proposed addition is not sufficiently visually
compatible with the Chateau Laurier, a historic place; and,
WHEREAS modifications to the design of the proposed addition are
necessary to ensure its visual compatibility with the existing Chateau Laurier,
an iconic heritage landmark in the City of Ottawa and the National Capital as
per City Council's direction on June 27, 2018;
WHEREAS: the Applicant has failed to respect the subtle verticality
of the existing building, by providing a dominant vertical expression in the
addition, which fails to be subordinate to the existing building, therefore
failing to incorporate the geometric proportions appropriately; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has failed to meet the conditions set by
Council in June 2018, notably the “Modification of the design for visual
compatibility with the historic hotel, by referencing such elements as
patterns, details and proportions of the Château Laurier by ensuring that the
application is compliant with the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation
of Historic Places,
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council:
1. determines that the applicant has failed to
fulfil the conditions imposed by Council in respect of the application for
approval to alter at 1 Rideau Street;
2. further determines that as the conditions have
not been fulfilled that the conditional heritage permit issued in respect of
the Chateau Laurier redevelopment at 1 Rideau Street is now void and of no
effect; and
3. revokes the delegation to the General Manager,
Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department to approve design
changes.
