2. City Council, for the purposes of complying with the Development Charges Act, 1997, adopt the Development Charges Background Study, dated June 17, 2013, as amended by the Addendum dated September 13, 2013, including the development charges capital program contained within.
3. City Council determine that, pursuant to section 12 of the Development Charges Act, 1997, no further public meeting is required.
4. City Council express its intent that the development-related cost of post-2022 capacity identified in the Background Study, as amended, be carried forward into future development charges by-law reviews for potential cost recovery from future development charges or other similar charges.
5. City Council authorize the City Solicitor, in consultation with the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer, to make such housekeeping, technical and minor amendments to the by-law as necessary to give effect to the recommendations contained herein.
6. City Council request the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to establish a Staff-Rental Apartment Industry Working Group to recommend a mechanism to defer payment of Development Charges for Purpose Built Rental Housing and to report back to the Executive Committee in the first quarter of 2014.
Decision Advice and Other Information
The Executive Committee requested the Deputy City Manager and Chief Financial Officer to report directly to the October 8, 2013 meeting of City Council on:
1. the formula mandated by the legislation used to calculate the subsidized housing share of development charges.
2. the full amount available to the City under the formula.
The Executive Committee held a statutory public meeting on July 3, 2013, and notice was given in accordance with the Development Charges Act, 1997.
Origin
Summary
The City of Toronto collects development charges from new construction to pay for a portion of net municipal growth-related capital costs. The City’s current development charges by-law expires on April 30, 2014. A new Development Charges Background Study has been prepared pursuant to the Development Charges Act, 1997. The purpose of this report is to present the 2013 Development Charges Background Study and the proposed development charges by-law for consideration at a statutory public meeting.
Development charges rates, as set out in the background study, are calculated on a cost recovery basis and represent the maximum charges that can be imposed. These represent notable increases over current levels and are primarily the result of revised growth forecasts, updated capital programs, and discounts in the current charges.
If the recommended charges are adopted by Council, at the end of the proposed phase-in period, residential development charges would increase by about 90% and non-residential development charges (i.e. primarily retail charges) would increase by approximately 30% over current levels.
The proposed by-law continues many of the current policies, including exemptions for affordable rental housing, industrial development and employment uses qualifying under the Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation and Technology Financial Incentives Program. The non-residential charge would continue to apply to the ground floor only of non-exempt, non-residential development (primarily retail). In addition, the Tier 2 Toronto Green Standard development charges incentive program is proposed to be continued at the levels approved in the 2009 by-law. These and other definitional changes in the proposed by-law are unaffected by the transition provisions, which apply only to the level of the charges, and shall be effective from the date that the by-law comes into force.
Proposed transition provisions implement the changes in the rates over a period of time in order to mitigate the impact of the new rates on development applications that are well along in the development approval process and to allow for an orderly implementation of the new by-law. The change in the rates would be phased-in over a nine month period with full implementation by July 1, 2014.
After the statutory public meeting, it is proposed that staff report to the October 8, 2013 meeting of City Council on the results of the public meeting and any recommended changes to the by-law.

1a - Development Charges By-law Review - Results of Additional Consultation
Origin
Summary
At the statutory public meeting held on July 3, 2013, Executive Committee deferred consideration of a report titled "Development Charges By-law Review" to its September 24, 2013 meeting, and requested that staff review the submissions and deputations made at the public meeting, conduct additional stakeholder consultations, and report on certain other matters.
This report presents the results of additional consultation, which includes adjustments to the calculated development charges rates and refinements to development charges policies compared to the rates and policies previously presented at the public meeting.
Technical revisions to the background study calculations, arising primarily through further discussions with consultants retained on behalf of the Building Industry and Land Development (BILD) in conjunction with a review by the City's own consultants, have resulted in a reduction (8% for residential and 6% for non-residential uses) to the calculated development charges rates. These rates do not incorporate an arbitrary reduction or subsidy. In addition, a number of policy changes are discussed in this report in regard to the transitional strategies, treatment of stacked and back-to-back townhomes, redevelopment credits and revision permits.
On behalf of the land development industry, BILD has indicated that with the amendments to the rate calculation and the recommended transition provisions, discussed in the report, it is satisfied that the new by-law is reasonable. Accordingly BILD will not appeal the by-law nor support actions of its independent members to appeal.
