The City is moving to speed up timelines for projects that have a significant social impact, the City’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee heard today. The City aims to get affordable housing projects, long-term care facilities and retirement homes up and operating quickly by prioritizing these applications.
The COVID-19 pandemic has put added pressure on such facilities and emphasized the need for more affordable housing. Non-profit organizations that meet the criteria could work with staff to have a development application identified as a high social impact project. That would enable City planning staff to prioritize its review. The initiative would add to measures already in place to help facilitate these types of projects.
Staff have identified nine projects either already submitted or in the consultation stage that might fit the criteria of a high social impact project, with another eight pending further review. Staff will review existing applications to determine eligibility and what measures may be implemented to assist.
This item will also be on the agenda at the meeting of the City’s Planning Committee on Thursday, February 11 before rising to Council on Wednesday, February 24.
The Committee also heard a presentation about a framework to improve internet connectivity. The Rural Ontario Municipal Association developed a Municipal Connectivity Roadmap, which includes steps that municipal councils could take to help create better broadband and cellular connectivity.
Except where noted, recommendations from today’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee meeting will rise to Council on Wednesday, February 10.
