Report Number: PLN 26-23
Date: June 26, 2023
From: Kyle Bentley
Director, City Development & CBO
Subject: Amendment to General Municipal Fees – Planning Applications
File: D-3000-001
Recommendation:
1. That the revised City Development Department – Planning Fees be approved, effective
July 1, 2023;
2. That an amendment be made to Schedule “I” to By-law 6191/03, the General Municipal
Fees and Charges By-law, as amended, by deleting the pages for City Development
Department – Planning, and substituting the updated pages for City Development
Department – Planning, as set out in Schedule “I” to the Draft By-law provided as
Appendix I to Report PLN 26-23, be approved; and
3. That the revised Draft By-law to amend Schedule “I” to the General Municipal Fees and
Charges By-law 6191/03, as set out in Appendix I to Report PLN 26-23, be enacted.
Executive Summary: The General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law 6191/03, was
recently amended on May 23, 2023, through PLN 12-23. Following the approval, it was
discovered that the new fee schedule included unintentional errors and omissions.
A revised amendment to the General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law 6191/03 is included
in Appendix I to this report.
Financial Implications: The proposed changes to the General Municipal Fees and Charges
By-law are in keeping with changes already approved on May 23, 2023 that more accurately
reflect the amount of effort required from City staff during each stage of the review process.
1. Background
At the May 1, 2023 Planning & Development Committee, Report PLN 12-23 provided an
amendment to the General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law – City Development
Department – Planning. The revised fees were then approved by Council on May 23, 2023
through Resolution #202/23. The revised fees support the City’s new development
review process that was created in response to Bill 109 and are intended to prevent the
City from refunding application fees.
Staff are now preparing to implement the new procedures for July 1, 2023. As part of
that ongoing work, staff became aware of a number of minor errors and omissions
contained within the newly revised General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law.

Report PLN 26-23 provides a brief outline of the corrections to be made, and includes
an updated General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law in Appendix I.
2. Corrections to General Municipal Fees and Charges By-law
2.1 Minor and Major Revisions to an approved Site Plan
After Site Plan Approval has been granted, a proponent may wish to make modifications
to their original approval to accommodate new uses. Revisions to an approved Site Plan
may involve the construction of additional floor space that does not require a wholesale
redevelopment of the entire site.
The Schedule of Fees approved on May 23, 2023, inadvertently left out fees for both
major and minor revisions to an approved Site Plan. It is proposed that these fees be
reintroduced.

2.3 Site Plan Pre-submission and Application Review Base Fee
Report PLN 12-23 described how the current development review process is being
changed from one stage review to two stage review in response to changes introduced
by Bill 109.
The Schedule of Fees approved on May 23, 2023, distributed the total Site Plan fees
across three stages of review. In reviewing the implementation of the new Site Plan
procedures, it was determined that the fees only need to be distributed across the first
two stages of review. The proposed fee change redistributes the fees accordingly.

2.4 Unit Fees
Several fees are calculated using a combined base fee and per unit fee. This approach
ensures that developments with more units are charged a proportionately larger amount
of fees for the review of their proposals.
Currently, the unit fees are only calculated for up to 1,000 units. In some instances, the
City has begun receiving proposals which exceed 1,000 units. To ensure that these
developments continue to pay their proportional amount, the fee schedule has been
revised to remove the cap on per unit fees.

2.5 Fee Consistency
Proposals for Draft Plan of Subdivision currently include fees for recirculation and
applicant-initiated revisions. Staff are proposing that corresponding fees also be created
for the review of Revisions to Draft Approved Plans. The amount of the fee is
proportional to the amount of the Pre-submission fee.
