DEFERRAL – 2014-2018 MID-TERM GOVERNANCE REVIEW – RECOMMENDATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PLANNING ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Deferred from the City Council meeting of November 9, 2016, per the following Motion:

 


MOTION NO. 41/3

Moved by Councillor J. Harder
Seconded by Councillor J. Leiper

WHEREAS, effective July 1st, 2016, the Planning Act, as amended by Bill 73, the Smart Growth for Our Communities Act, 2015, requires that particular municipalities, including the City of Ottawa, establish a Planning Advisory Committee (“PAC”) as described in the report titled, “2014-2018 Mid-term Governance Review” (ACS2016-CCS-GEN-0024); and

 WHEREAS on June 22nd, 2016, City Council approved Motion No. 34/7, which directed staff to include recommendations to address procedural matters related to new legislative requirements resulting from Bill 73, including the PAC, as part of the 2014-2018 Mid-term Governance Review consultations; and

WHEREAS, although the Planning Act, as amended, requires that the PAC include at least one resident of the municipality who is neither an employee of the municipality nor a Member of Council, the remaining elements of the PAC’s composition, as well as its mandate, are left up to individual municipalities to determine how this Advisory Committee would be most effective; and

WHEREAS the 2014-2018 Mid-term Governance Review report recommends establishing a City of Ottawa PAC composed of three Members of Council, the General Manager of the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department and two citizen members, who would meet once per year to review the annual workplan of the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department as it relates to planning matters, with additional meetings as required to review other matters referred by Planning Committee, Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee or Council; and

WHEREAS receiving additional feedback from community and industry stakeholders, and a further review by staff of practices in other municipalities, may further assist in determining how the PAC would be most effective and best complement a number of initiatives already in place at the City of Ottawa with respect to public engagement, citizen representation and collaboration in planning matters;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that City Council defer consideration of Part I, Recommendations 7(b) and 7(c) within the report titled, “2014-2018 Mid-term Governance Review” (ACS2016-CCS-GEN-0024) to a Council meeting in the first quarter of 2017.
