MOTION NO. 36/13

Moved by Councillor J. Stavinga

Seconded by Councillor A. Munter

WHEREAS for more than a decade By-law 33-91, adopted by the former Township of Goulbourn, has – in the interests of public safety – prohibited the discharge of firearms within defined village and “urban areas”;

WHEREAS the same by-law, in the interests of public safety, has prohibited the discharge of firearms within 500 metres of any residential dwelling, with exemptions for law enforcement officials in the performance of their duty, farmers defending their property, and members of properly zoned gun clubs and rifle ranges;

WHEREAS the explicit intention of the Goulbourn by-law has been to ensure the safety of every resident, whether urban, village, or rural, with a protective buffer prohibiting firearms discharge near to their home;

WHEREAS due to the sheer number of rural dwellings spread throughout the former Township, the practical effect of the Goulbourn by-law has been to create a virtual prohibition on firearms discharge throughout the former Township.

WHEREAS the City’s proposed by-law would provide no protective buffer around Goulbourn’s many individual rural dwellings and thus ignores the community’s longstanding tradition of providing distance protections for the safety of all residents and their families;

WHEREA the City’s proposed elimination of protective buffers for Goulbourn’s rural residents would mean many families, accustomed to more than a decade of public safety provided by an effective prohibition on firearms discharge, would now have to accept the use of firearms in areas as close as their neighbour’s backyard, and would need to adjust their lives, and the lives of their children, accordingly;

WHEREAS the City’s elimination of protective buffers for Goulbourn’s rural residents is an unreasonable imposition on those same residents and violates the longstanding community consensus on public safety embodied in Goulbourn’s current discharge of firearms by-law;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT the proposed discharge of firearms by-law be amended to prohibit the discharge of firearms within the boundaries of the former Goulbourn Township;

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT staff provide a status report on the new by-law one year after its approval, with the intent of identifying uninhabited areas of Goulbourn that may be appropriate for the discharge of firearms in the future.

17. Replacing The Ontario Municipal Board With A More Responsive Structure

Committee Recommendations as Amended

WHEREAS there is a widespread view in the city of Ottawa that the city is increasingly losing control over the local planning process to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB), due in part to relatively-recent changes to the Planning Act that encourage developers to bypass local councils and head directly to the OMB to secure favourable rulings; and

WHEREAS the mechanisms used by developers are Sections 34(11) and 17(40) of the Planning Act, which allows an applicant to request an OMB decision 90 days after an application has been filed, whether or not city council has dealt with the application.

WHEREAS there is growing anger in the community over OMB rulings that appear arbitrarily imposed against the will of elected officials and the communities they represent; and

WHEREAS the city of Toronto has recently concluded it is successful in most appeals of city council decisions that follow the full planning process but is unsuccessful in most cases where developers head directly to the OMB 90 days after their applications have been filed; and

WHEREAS the city of Toronto has recommended that "when there is not a clearly defined provincial interest to be settled by the OMB, there should be a less expensive and more efficient local solution, protecting the rights of natural justice and individual property rights than a provincially-appointed administrative tribunal";

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1. Ottawa City Council give consideration to the establishment of a "Local Appeal Board" to deal with planning application appeals.

2. Failing that, Ottawa City Council requests that the Ontario Municipal Board change its procedures and not deal with appeals from developers before the city had had an opportunity to satisfactorily complete its development approval process.

3. Staff be directed to report back to Planning and Development Committee on OMB decisions relating to approved council decisions vs. OMB decisions triggered by the 90-day appeals.

4. Staff be directed to work with the city of Toronto and other large urban municipalities to explore possible changes to OMB procedures, as outlined in the city of Toronto report, and that staff report back to council on their progress in the area.

5. Staff be directed to review current City practice as to when applications are deemed complete and therefore legislated timelines are triggered.

6. This resolution be circulated to all regional governments, large urban municipalities, the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, the city's MPP's, and the three provincial party leaders.
