2) Repeal and replace the ‘2011 Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan’ with a modernized ‘2025 Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan’ entitled ‘2025 Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan (AHCIP)’. 

The proposed Community Improvement Plan (File O2502) is intended to incentivize the creation of affordable housing.

Section 28 of the Act allows the City, through enabling policy in the Official Plan, to designate, by By-law, a ‘Community Improvement Project Area’ (CIPA) and prepare and adopt a Community Improvement Plan for such an area. 

Therefore, City Council will consider the adoption of a By-law to designate a ‘Community Improvement Project Area’ (CIPA) for the purpose of modifying and expanding the area to plan for and incentivize the creation of affordable housing units. The proposed CIPA is City-wide.

To adopt the newly proposed ‘Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan' (AHCIP), inclusive of a Municipal Incentive Grant Program, a Municipal Housing Facility Program and an Affordable Housing Tax Increment Based Grant Program.

The objectives of the Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan are as follows:

1. Providing for public sector investment in affordable housing opportunities;
2. Stimulating private sector investment in the provision of affordable housing;
3. Promoting the renovation and reuse of underused properties;
4. Promoting sustainable development including energy efficiency through the development of affordable housing projects; and
5. Ensuring affordable and non-profit housing developments are exempt from municipal development charges, reducing financial barriers and supporting the creation of deeply affordable housing.

The AHCIP introduces eligibility requirements and administrative processes for all programs under this CIP. 

The Municipal Incentive Program is amended to provide upfront capital incentives of up to $80,000.00 per affordable unit as a strategic investment to support the financial feasibility of affordable housing development.

Application for Zoning By-law Amendment

Applicant/Owner: Julie Ellis and Ted Ellis
Agent: DM Wills Associates Limited c/o Michelle Duong

Development Description

The applicant proposes to establish a detached additional residential unit (ARU) at the rear of the subject property within a proposed detached residential accessory building. To facilitate the development, the applicant is proposing to amend the Zoning-by law to bring it into the City of Peterborough’s Zoning By-law which will allow the applicability of the City’s ARU provisions of Section 6.33.3 of the Zoning By-law to apply. The proposed amendment would rezone the property to SP.31 with a site-specific regulation to increase the maximum building height for the detached ARU from 4.3 metres to 6.7 metres, and to increase the minimum distance for an unobstructed path of travel for emergency services to the ARU from 90 metres to 135 metres. The base zone of SP.31 would recognize this property as having private services, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Zoning Bylaw that would otherwise require both public water distribution and wastewater collection.

Statutory Public Meeting

Pursuant to Sections 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, c.P.13, the City of Peterborough General Committee will hold a Public Meeting in the Council Chambers, City Hall at 6:00 p.m. on Monday March 10, 2025.
