The City is proposing the following:

To designate, by By-law, a new Community Improvement Project Area (CIPA) for a new Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan(2025) to incentivize the creation of Affordable Housing; and

To 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)’.

Under Section 28 of the Planning Act, municipalities can create Community Improvement Plans (CIP) to issue financial incentives, such as grants and/or loans, to promote desirable development. The City proposes(File O2502) to provide incentives for the creation of affordable housing by expanding the Affordable Housing Community Improvement Plan Area and revising the Municipal Incentive Program, replacing outdated programs and incorporating legislative changes related to Development Charge exemptions. The modernized plan is intended to provide broader access to financial incentives for affordable housing development including an amended Municipal Incentive Program that will provide up to $80,000.00 per unit to cover applicable municipal fees and/or eligible project costs. The amended plan will also describe the eligibility process for a 10-year property tax exemption for units dedicated to addressing the Council-approved housing needs and priorities.
