Call to Order: Councillor Hutcheson, Chair, assumed the Chair and called the meeting to order. The Township of Oro-Medonte acknowledges that we are situated on the traditional land of the Anishnaabek (A- nish- in- aa- beh) people, and ancestral territory of the Huron-Wendat. The Anishnaabek include the Odawa [Oh-DAH-wah], Ojibwe [O-jib-we] and Pottawatomi [boh-tah-WAH-toh-mee] nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy. It continues today as the home for diverse Indigenous Peoples including the historic Metis Community in Penetanguishene. The Anishnaabek people continue to have an enduring relationship with this land, specifically the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewa Tri-Council and the Williams Treaties First Nations. The Huron-Wendat Nation also continues to pay respect and protect their ancestors and heritage on this land. We honour the Indigenous history and culture that has thrived for millennia in this territory and the Treaties that bind us together as partners in the spirit of a shared sustainable and prosperous future. We are all Treaty People. Our commitment begins with acknowledging the Truth so that we can move forward together towards Reconciliation.

WON(W Township of ffe&wte Staff Report Proud Heritage, Exciting Future To: Council From: Dylan Flannery, Director of Operations & Community Services Meeting Date: September 11, 2024 Report No.: OCS2024-29 Subject: CSRIF Grant Application Type: Requires Action Motion No.: Recommendation It is recommended: 1. That Report No. OCS2024-29 be received and adopted; 2. That Council direct staff to apply for the CSRIF grant for the Phase 2 Horseshoe Valley Community Centre Project located at 739 Horseshoe Valley Rd W. Background On August 19t" of 2024, the Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund (CSRIF) grant was announced and the intake period opened. The funding is provided by the Ontario Provincial Government's Ministry of Sport. Grant applications are encouraged to be submitted as soon as possible as the reviewing process begins in the fall and the $200 million capital funding program will begin selecting projects to fund. The grant program is intended to support either the revitalization of existing community sport and recreation infrastructure or the construction of new facilities across the province with an aim of fostering healthier and more active lifestyles, making sport more accessible. Projects are funded up to 50% for municipalities with the revitalization projects having a $1 M cap and new build projects having a cap of$10M. The municipality must fund the remaining 50% by other means with the ability to determine their own funding sources. Operations and Community Services September 11, 2024 Report No. OSC2024-29 Page 1 of 4 Page 53 of 161 11 .a) OCS2024-29, Dylan Flannery, Director, Operations and Community Ser... Phase 1 of the partnership project with the Simcoe County District School Board at 739 Horseshoe Valley Rd W, Oro-Medonte, ON, is underway and Phase 2 which included the construction of multi-purpose room and fitness centre components of the project were put on hold due to funding constraints. This CSRIF grant has the opportunity to provide 50% of the funding for Phase 2, a significant portion of the funding necessary. While Phase 2 is currently on hold, it is part of the long-term capital plan, and several steps have already been taken to move the project towards being shovel-ready. This includes the completion of a feasibility study, as well as the development of design plans and construction which has considered future phasing. A grant requirement is that all successful projects must be completed by March 31, 2027, and that projects are sport and recreation focused. Analysis Staff first assessed projects in the Township's capital plan as well as the Parks and Recreation Master Plan to determine suitability and eligibility. While there may be some other suitable projects, such as outdoor pickleball courts and community park development there are a few projects that advanced far enough to meet the tight timeline for completion being provided, March 2027, projects that are in early stages such as conducting feasibility studies are not likely to be able to be completed within the deadline and cannot be accurately scoped, costed and justified to align with the program. In addition, Phase 2 of the Horseshoe Valley Community Centre may garner greater financial support and yield the greatest benefit given the regional context and central location of facility. Staff met with the local CSRIF's Regional Development Advisor who confirmed this project to be eligible as a new build with a maximum contribution of$10M. While detailed design plans have not yet been completed, there is a concept design that includes a fitness center, multi-purpose room for fitness and other uses, and a kitchen. The grant is sport focused and is only intended to fund sport focused projects so the kitchen portion of the project would not be eligible, but the remainder of Phase 2 would be. The Advisor also made it clear that projects with designs completed that are further along the process are more likely to be selected as they are more likely to meet the deadline for project completion. Also, it was noted that there has not yet been a determination regarding how the funds will be distributed but that larger or more iconic projects were preferred, making time of the essence with the selection process beginning sometime in mid to late fall. Alternative project— Should Council elect to not submit an application for Phase 2 of the Horseshoe Valley Community Centre staff are recommending an application be submitted for the development of dedicated pickleball boards. While design work has not yet fully be completed, this project does align with the objectives of the grant program and has been identified as a significant short-term priority in the recently completed Parks and Recreation Master Plan. Operations and Community Services September 11, 2024 Report No. OSC2024-29 Page 2 of 4 Page 54 of 161 11 .a) OCS2024-29, Dylan Flannery, Director, Operations and Community Ser... Financial/Legal Implications/ Risk Management As the grant covers 50% of the sport-related aspects of the project, in this case all but the kitchen area, the Township would need to fund the remainder of the project to ensure completion by the end of March 2027. It is anticipated that completing the second phase of the project with the components referenced above would be in the order of$10 Million. Final scoping, design and updated costing would be required to determine the potential grant contribution and necessary Township contribution, however assuming a 50% grant contribution, the Township's funding requirement would be $5.5M. This can be funded through any combination of methods such as funding from development charges, reserves, through partnerships, or the tax levy. Staff are recommending that an application be submitted for Phase 2 as outlined, which would be reviewed in greater detail should the Township be successful in its application. It is anticipated that costs for the construction of pickleball courts inclusive of necessary site works would be in the order of$2 Million.

Attachment 3 - Option 2 - Community Centre Floor Plans Attachment 4 Early Works - Site Clearing OCS 2024-17 Pickleball Capital Protect Update OCS 2024-17 Attachment A Conclusion The CSRIF aims to meet community needs and support municipalities and other organizations in the delivery of community sport and recreation programming. It aims to create local jobs, strengthen communities, and provide Ontario children, families, and seniors with opportunities to participate in sport and recreation activities. The Phase 2 Horseshoe Valley Community Centre Project is one that aligns with the goals of this grant fund well, has completed relevant studies and concept designs making it likely to meet the funding requirements and justification of meeting community needs as associated benefits and is therefore the recommended option for Oro-Medonte to proceed with into the application stage. Alternatively, should Council elect not to submit an application to advance Phase 2 of the Horseshoe Valley Community Centre, staff are recommending that an application be submitted to advance the development of dedicated pickleball courts.

T( hip of Staff Report Proud Heritage, Exciting Future To: Council From: Brent Spagnol, Director, Development Services Meeting Date: September 11, 2024 Report No.: DS2024-073 Subject: Municipal Law Enforcement Division Facility Accommodation Project Type: Requires Action Motion No.: Recommendation It is recommended: 1. That DS2024-073 Municipal Law Enforcement Division Facility Accommodation Project Report be received and adopted; 2. That staff proceed with the issuance of the tender to advance the Shanty Bay Firehall Retrofit Project to accommodate the relocation of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division and address the accommodation needs of the division; 3. That staff report back to Council following the completion of the tendering process. Background The purpose of this report is to provide an update and obtain Council's direction with respect to the former Shanty Bay Firehall - Municipal Law Enforcement Division retrofit project. The matter was considered by Council during the 2024 budget recalibration and approval was provided with the following provisions: - Provisional budgetary approval of the project with a total budget of$580,000 split equally ($290,000) in 2024 and 2025 due to anticipated timing of design/construction. - Approval of$30,000 to complete the necessary architectural design, refine costing, and preparation of tender documents. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-073 Page 1 of 7 Page 57 of 161 11 .b) DS2024-073, Brent Spagnol, Director, Development Services re: Muni... - That staff report back following the completion of the design with updated cost estimates and an assessment of the effectiveness of the temporary accommodations for the Municipal Law Division within Firehall 1 — Line 3 South. Project History The trailer at the Municipal Administration Centre had been the office headquarters for the Municipal Law Division for approximately 6 years. The trailer was originally intended to be a temporary measure to accommodate the division. The Municipal Law Enforcement Division required additional space to accommodate existing full-time staff and Seasonal Municipal Law Enforcement Officers that could no longer be accommodated within the Municipal Administration Centre due to accommodation pressures, staffing and service requirements across the Corporation. The former fire hall located in Shanty Bay on Ridge Road West was identified in 2023 via staff report dated November 8, 2023 (Link to Staff Report) as the preferred option for accommodation of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. The report was comprehensive in nature and considered the following aspects prior to arriving at the Shanty Bay Fire Hall as the preferred approach. Considerations forming part of the analysis included: • Assessed Existing Facility Accommodation (Former Hawkestone and Rugby declared surplus) • Facility Accommodation of the Fire Department • Facility Accommodation within the Admin. Centre • Outside Rental Options • Identified the Shanty Bay Retrofit as the optimal solution - Significant cost savings compared to a new build - Location and operational efficiencies - Ability to meet evolving needs of the division - Enhanced Service levels • Estimated budget for the works completed to include design $30,000 and retrofit at $520,000. The project was later amended in the 2024 budget to $580,000 which included adjustments to market pricing and scope refinement. During the budgetary process in 2024, the option to continue to utilize existing facilities on an interim basis raised question regarding a more cost-effective solution to determine whether the facilities specifically at Fire Hall 1 on Line 3 could support the existing and future needs of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-073 Page 2 of 7 Page 58 of 161 11 .b) DS2024-073, Brent Spagnol, Director, Development Services re: Muni... Current Status-Firehall 1 — Line 3 South Fire Hall In order to address the immediate needs of the Municipal Law Division (additional seasonal staff), a portion of the Line 3 Fire Station was retrofitted to accommodate the division until such time as permanent accommodation had been determined. The retrofit of Firehall 1 included the installation of internet (server, ports, line connections etc.) and the relocation of required office furniture. The space has accommodated the division up to this point as it provides some additional floor area and is suitable from a temporary standpoint but does not provide an optimal layout to address the evolving needs division, the additional capacity for growth or an outward-facing public customer service component and a longer-term solution is needed. Advancement of the Former Shanty Bay Firehall Retrofit Project The planning and design phase has now been completed for the internal layout of the building. The benefits to renovate the existing building include the following: - Optimal and most cost-effective solution for accommodation. - Use of an existing Township asset that could not be reasonably repurposed/divested of for any other non-Municipal use. - Potential Public Service Enhancement (community service kiosk). - Operational efficiencies due to location (southern portion of the Township). - Permanent solution to accommodate existing and future needs of the division. - Enhanced division morale through investment in the division and provision of place. - Investment into a Township asset and increase in asset value. Accordingly, staff are recommending Council's support to approve and advance the project in 2025. Should Council elect not to advance the project, staff will be required to review alternative options and timing for accommodations as outlined in the 2023 report. Financial/Legal Implications Budget Attachment 1 provides the capital work sheet presented to Council estimating the value of the works to be as follows: Cash Flow Projection: 2023 2024 2025 Funding Sources: 2023 2024 2025 Studies Federal Gas Tax Design or Engineering 30,000 10,000 Reserves $ 290,000 $ 290,000 Contractor 260,000 280,000 Select from List Materials Select from List Equipment/Misc Select from List Total 290,000 290,000 Taxation Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-073 Page 3 of 7 Page 59 of 161 11 .b) DS2024-073, Brent Spagnol, Director, Development Services re: Muni... The project is intended to be funded from reserves with potential for development charge contributions (addressing growth related service requirements). Following the completion of the design, it is anticipated that the project can be realized within the identified $580,000 budget allocation. Should Council approve the advancement of the project, it would put to tender with results coming before Council for final approval. Staff anticipate competitive pricing to complete the project given current timing and market conditions. There is not a direct tax implication to residents for the retrofit project, but the maintenance of the building will require funds which will need to be incorporated into the budget for operations/facilities. It is anticipated that these expenses are in the order of $25,000 per year. In addition, the potential exists to provide an outward facing customer service component, which will require further review to determine the approach and timing for enhanced service provision at this location. Corporate Strategic Priorities The initiative related to this report is inline with the following Strategic Objectives: • Strengthen Operational Capacity • Community Safety Consultations - Municipal Law Enforcement Division - Operations and Community Department - Finance Department - Fire and Emergency Services Department Attachments Attachment 1: Capital Worksheet— Shant Bay Retrofit Facility Accommodation Project Attachment 2: Shanty Bay Firehall Retrofit Design Conclusion While Firehall 1 — Line 3 South Firehall has provided temporary accommodation for the Municipal Law Division, it is not optimal for the current and future needs of the Division or Fire and Emergency Services. The current space being utilized by the Municipal Law Division within Firehall 1 was originally intended for storage of equipment, is accessed by stairs (in-side and outside) and is disjointed as certain members of the division are in different offices throughout the building. These temporary office accommodations are an example of collaboration and co-operation amongst divisions through the spirit of teamwork within the corporation but were always considered to be a temporary solution. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-073 Page 4 of 7 Page 60 of 161 11 .b) DS2024-073, Brent Spagnol, Director, Development Services re: Muni... The space was retrofitted for temporary use and was not originally designed to provide suitable office workspace for team members. Therefore, the Shanty Bay Firehall Retro Fit project is the preferred option to meet the current and future accommodation needs of the Township's Municipal Law Enforcement Division. Opportunity for an outward customer service component exists, which will need to be reviewed more closely as it pertains to required resources representing a potential option for enhanced service delivery to residents. The Shanty Bay Firehall retrofit project represents an investment in a Township asset that will provide for the current and future accommodation needs of the division and potentially other Township services for the future that the current temporary solution could not provide without similar investment. Staff recommend that Council endorse the following recommendations to proceed with the Shanty Bay Firehall Retrofit Project to accommodate the relocation of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division: 1. That DS2024-073 Municipal Law Enforcement Division Facility Accommodation Project Report be received and adopted; 2. That staff proceed with the issuance of the tender to advance the Shanty Bay Firehall Retrofit Project to accommodate the relocation of the Municipal Law Enforcement Division and address the accommodation needs of the division; 3. That staff report back to Council following the completion of the tendering process.

Background j The purpose of this report is to provide Council information and obtain authorization to assume Braestone Phases 1 B and C Subdivision located near the settlement area of Sugar Bush within Development Area 7 know locally as Braestone. The Braestone Development Corporation, being the developer has requested the clearance of maintenance periods and the release r, "a•'- 2 of remaining securities currently being �' zs held for these phases of development. ! ; The Township of Oro-Medonte entered tea. 4 into a Subdivision Agreement with the Braestone Development Corporation in February 2017 for the development of Fifty-Nine (59) residential lots on Gelderland Crescent and segments of Thoroughbred Drive and Morgan Drive (By-law 2017-024). The subdivision was registered on June 19, 2017. The subdivision agreement required the Braestone Development Corporation to construct the infrastructure as presented on the approved drawings for the residential subdivision. Subdivision Agreement Terms Township Engineering— Past Certifications The subdivision agreement establishes various milestones prior to assumption such as a two (2) year maintenance period to ensure that the assets being assumed by the Township are in proper working order and void of deficiencies. However, in the case of this development there are minor deficiencies outstanding and remedial actions by the Developer are required prior to the completion of upcoming Phase 2 development areas. The following Certificate related to this subdivision was adopted by the Township via by- law as per maintenance standards that are specified within the subdivision agreement: Certificate of Substantial Completion and Acceptance (Municipal Underground Services) via By-Law 2017-102. Supporting certificate issued by Aecom June 26, 2017.

A series of inspections are required throughout this maintenance period to certify the work completed as the subdivision moves closer to being assumed by the municipality. The issuance of the Certificate being recommended by the Manager of Development Engineering would end the maintenance period facilitating the assumption of the subdivision by the Township. The Braestone Development Corporation has now completed the works and submitted the required documentation to end the maintenance period required in the Subdivision Agreement. The Township's Manager of Development Engineering is recommending the issuance of the Certificate of Assumption synonymous to the Certificate of Maintenance and Final Acceptance for the subdivision. Proposed Works to be Assumed The works and services being proposed for assumption include the roads, boulevards, walkways, ditches, streetlights, signs, roadside infiltration trenches, storm sewers, road culverts, a 0.3m Reserves Block 60, Parkland Block 61, Stormwater Management and/or Emergency Access blocks 62 and 63, Open Space blocks 64 to 66, watermains and appurtenances internal to the subdivision. Block 67 is excluded from the assumption and will be assumed with the upcoming phases of development following the removal of the fire pit and completion of trails within and to & from the block by the Developer. Based on a site inspection completed September 5, 2024, with support from the Fire Department, the emergency access along block 63 is no longer required for this subdivision as a result of the development of the adjoining road network. The lands will be maintained as a storm sewer servicing and maintenance access block. Assumption of the Subdivision Phases 1 B and C transfers the responsibility of infrastructure maintenance from the developer to the municipality. Statutory Declaration A Statutory Declaration was provided by the developer as per the subdivision agreement to confirm and ensure that the developer has made appropriate payments for the works completed on the lands to be assumed by the Township. In Addition, the Certificate of Assumption is supported by the Certification received from The Jones Consulting Group Ltd. (Township's peer review consultant) and Tatham Engineering Ltd. (Developer's Engineering Consultant). Analysis Based on inspections completed by Township Staff, the Jones Consulting Group Ltd. and Tatham Engineering Ltd. (Developer's Engineering Consultant) it is appropriate to assume the public works within the registered Plan 51 M-1113, Phases 1 B and C subdivision areas save and except the Recreation space block 67 of the plan.

That Information Report No. DS2024-093 be received. Introduction The purpose of this information report is to provide historical background information regarding short-term rental accommodations which emerged in 2017 as an issue in Oro- Medonte and to provide a level of understanding on the actions that Council and Staff have taken to date to address this issue. This report will be followed up with an Options Report that will provide Council with potential actions that it can take to further deal with the matter.

In March of 2023, shortly after this Council took office, it passed a motion requesting that staff address the issue of the short-term rental of dwelling units in the municipality. Staff have been addressing the matter since then. At the August 14, 2024, meeting Council passed a motion (See pages 17 and 18) requesting an information report to formally update Council and the community on background and actions taken in advance of considering an options report at a future meeting. Short-term rentals (STRs) can be broadly described as dwelling units offered for rent via electronic platforms which are rented out for the purpose of commercial gain and profit for periods as short as a day, but more typically for three (3) days and typically no longer than a month. It has been the Township's position that STRs are only permitted in certain zone categories. The Township's Zoning By-law No. 97-95 permits STRs in Village Resort Commercial within the Village (V1) and Residential Two, exception 123 (RS-123) Zones. A time-share is another form of STR. These types of uses are only permitted in the following areas: Horseshoe Resort Condos The Carriage Hills and Carriage Ridge developments. Bed and Breakfast uses are another form of STRs and are only permitted as of right in the Agriculture/Rural Zone (A/RU) or Private Recreation (PR) Zone under the Zoning By-law. They are only permitted elsewhere by exception approved through a Zoning Amendment. Under the Zoning By-law a Dwelling Unit is defined as: "Dwelling Unit[By-law 2015-1921 Means one or more rooms in a building, designed as, or intended as, or capable of being used or occupied as a single independent housekeeping unit and containing living, sleeping, sanitary and food preparation facilities or facilities for the installation of kitchen equipment and has an independent entrance. For the purposes of this By-law, a dwelling unit does not include any commercial accommodation or a recreational trailer." Generally, under the Zoning By-law, unless a use is specifically listed as being permitted, it is not permitted. The only way it could be permitted is through a Zoning By- law Amendment or minor variance. In late 2017, both Staff and Council became aware through complaints that property owners were renting their dwelling unit to the traveling public for short periods of time, weekends or a few days. These "short-term dwelling unit rentals" became quite popular over a short period of time as an alternative accommodation to hotels, campgrounds, bed and breakfast establishments. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 2 of 19 Page 77 of 161 The in?eadefmad"e�4eoenfaPo?f9dv�PTling lei cmoreeacdessplego[thegenera��u �ecial Projec... through the use of various platforms to rent their dwelling units as STR's. Rental websites such as Airbnb, Hometogo, Flipkey, VRBO, HomeAway, Sonder, and Canadastays are popular website platforms utilized to advertise short-term accommodation rentals. Property owners also use applications such as Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji to rent their properties. In late 2017, there were approximately 160-270 (Staff Report DS2018-012) properties listed for rental over the various sites in Oro-Medonte. It was and still is common practice that family members allow other family members or friends to use their cottage property for a vacation. Sometimes money may be exchanged, but other times, family members just used the cottage when the owner made it available. Weekly cottage rentals have historically been advertised in newspapers and bulletin boards. Technology has provided the ability to cast a wider net and intensify cottage rental activity and many owners are now renting their properties as a source of income. Over the years, this form of accommodation has gained popularity nationally and globally. In Oro-Medonte, residents residing in the immediate area of STR properties have been raising concerns with Staff and Council, relating to: • general disruption to their homes by overflow parking, noise, on-site waste (garbage) management, vandalism; • lack of adherence to good property standards giving rise to conflicts between long term cottagers/ permanent residents and short-term renters; • loss of neighbourhood identity; • loss of feeling of safety in the neighbourhood; • intensity of commercial-like use in a residential setting and general compatibility; • Concerns about the impact on septic systems of large amounts of people renting houses over a short period of time; • Degradation of overall quality of life associated with the above. In addition, in 2017 trespassing was identified as an issue with renters utilizing neighboring docks without permission, as well as the use of boathouses, bunkie's and RV trailers to accommodate larger groups.

The Interim Control By-law remained in effect as a matter of law.

OLT Rationale Provided Below: "By-law No. 2020-073 be rescinded as it did not represent good planning and was not in the public interest. It could not in a timely and/or effective waV regulate the serial, disruptive use of August 2022 residential properties as party houses OLT rescinded (emphasis added Written OLT By-law 2020-73 Decision Rendered ("commercial Further, the amendment would have the very accommodation" undesirable effect of rendering illegal, the definition) benign, non-contentious occasional rental by owner of the family cottage for example to family or friends or known individuals for annual cottage holidays of 1-2 weeks. This imbalance was completely contrary to the rational proffered to Council in support of the passage of an ICBL and the amendment before the Tribunal said to be the product of that study process. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 6 of 19 Page 81 of 161 Projec... It was this imbalance, and in fact the unintended punitive impact upon the generally self-policing, common place practice of cottage renters peacefully enjoying a lake country vacation, which drove the Tribunal to issue an oral decision with the hope that the Municipality would use the preseason timing to their advantage to bring a licensing By-law into effect to specifically target the disruptive uses. In the interim, the Tribunal was also mindful that until such time as this decision issues, the Municipality would continue to enjoy the protection afforded by the ICBL which remains in force and effect prohibiting the creation of any new STRs until this decision issues. The Tribunal's reasoning was very simple in that, if as the Municipality asserted in their case strategy, the STRs, and in fact all residential rentals of detached units is illegal, there is nothing to prevent the Municipality from enforcing the existing zoning regime against the disruptive offenders and commercial operators. The language of By- law No. 2020-073 simply introduced a threshold of determination at 28 days, which would unintentionally capture the historically acceptable, bona fide 1-2 week cottage rental for the annual vacation which were not the disrupters subject of the study carried out pursuant to s. 38 of the Planning Act. That having read and heard all of the evidence, that not only would the amendment have created unintended consequences, it in fact would have introduced a new prohibition under the guise of a clarification, despite the assertions of the Township and the Alliance. The Alliance supports and shares the position that short term rentals were never permitted by By-law No. 95-97 and through the evidence of their witness, cited and distinguished how, by way of example, the By-law prescribed provisions regulating bread and breakfast and Village Commercial Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 7 of 19 Page 82 of 161 Geerge ' eso M s,' as e� iris ruc Iv the ProjeC... Tribunal as to how the underlying 1997 by- law, as amended in 2014, should be interpreted with respect to the commercial offering of accommodations. The Tribunal however remains persuaded that in fact, these examples are quite distinguished from the concern at hand, and the disrupters currently subject of Council's efforts could not have been contemplated by the underlying by-law as such uses did not exist as an income generating commercial use until facilitated by the ever evolving range of electronic platforms that now permit the anonymous procurement of temporary, unsurveilled occupancy of residential premises as commercial venues, more akin to a hotel than a residence. For these reasons, the Tribunal agrees with the Appellants that the `clarification"brought through By-law No. 2020-073 attempts to unlawfully retroactively prohibit what in effect is a distinct commercial entity. The Township has advised through its evidence that the issue is subject of study and will be addressed in the Official Plan review mandated within the calendar year. The Tribunal agrees that the issue warrants such a course of balanced, thorough analysis and consideration with the appropriate regulations to flow from that proactive process." The basis for this action was as follows: a. The Tribunal failed to afford the parties procedural fairness because the oral decision was rendered quickly and the April 2022 Leave reasons were inadequate; represented an Township sought Appeal of the b. The Tribunal failed to correctly interpret leave from the OLT decision the existing zoning by-law and, as a Divisional Court result, failed to correctly interpret the impact of By-law 2020-073; c. The Tribunal considered irrelevant factors when considering whether By- law 2020-073 represents good plannin ; Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 8 of 19 Page 83 of 161 Manager 0.93 ' an IVI Projec... d. The Tribunal failed to consider whether By-law 2020-073 was consistent with the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13, the Provincial Policy Statement and other local planning policy documents. At that meeting Council resolved to receive June 2022 Draft Licensing the report and requested information with By-law for respect to additional enforcement.

Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 9 of 19 Page 84 of 161 Take v�iaDys rrom0 an upe lobo�ou bemc sio sr, Planning Special Projec... The Superior Court decision supported the OLT decision to rescind By-law 2020-073, which was to introduce the definition of"Commercial Accommodation". The OLT determined that the definition of Commercial Accommodation as proposed, goes beyond what the use means and it creates a new type a new type of use, - "commercial accommodation of 28 days or less", which has a negative impact on "benign, non-contentious cottage rentals". The Court recognized that the current Zoning By-law already prohibits commercial accommodation in dwelling units, but stated it must be something "other than simply renting a dwelling unit for money". The Court goes on to suggest that the term "commercial accommodation" in the current definition of dwelling unit, "... could mean that temporary accommodation provided as part of an ongoing commercial enterprise akin to a hotel, motel, resort or bed and breakfast are prohibited as commercial accommodations." In other words, there must be additional factors (evidence) involved that would establish that a dwelling unit is being operated as a commercial accommodation. A threshold exists that must be crossed from a dwelling unit being used as a rental accommodation to a dwelling unit being rented for commercial purposes. Factors that could be used to determine if the use of a dwelling unit has crossed the threshold and is being used for commercial accommodation could include: • Advertisement on internet platforms like Airbnb, Hometogo, Flipkey, VRBO, etc. • The property being used regularly every week or every weekend rentals during the season with different people occupying the dwelling each time • The property is being used primarily for the purpose of short-term rental, not the primary residence of the owner • A corporation is the registered owner of the property • A receipt indicating that the expense was for a short-term rental • An independent eye-witness indicating that they rented the property as a short- term rental that is willing to provide testimony Ultimately the threshold of necessary evidence to gain a successful conviction could only be finally determined through the court system as each case is unique. Municipal Law Enforcement Actions With the recent Divisional Court Decision, the interim control by-law is no longer in effect and there is no impediment to municipal law enforcement enforcing the provisions of the Zoning By-law. The 2018 Staff report on the interim control by-law stated, "..., the interim control by-law cannot prohibit any use that legally existed prior to the passing of the by-law. On this basis, the by-law cannot be applied to existing dwellings used for short term rental Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 10 of 19 Page 85 of 161 accommoda�ions��ringgt� pleaon[ggVevdew�tnwouei�rhlowever eo'hPi new AARe mial Projec... rental accommodation uses." The author is of the view that an Interim Control By-law freezes land use permissions until such time as a study can be completed and, if appropriate, new provisions are introduced. It cannot be used to make something legal that was not legal before the by- law was passed. The wording of the Interim Control By-law has been problematic for Municipal Law Enforcement in enforcing the Zoning By-law provisions for dwelling unit. "Section 3.0 of the Township' s Zoning By-law explains that the only uses permitted in each zone are those that are specified in the by- law. None of permitted uses in the Township' s Residential Zones contained in Zoning By- law 97- 95 would permit commercial accommodations. A number of the permitted uses (single detached dwellings, semi- detached dwellings, townhouse dwellings, multiple dwellings, etc.) in the various Residential (R1, R2, RUR1, RUR2) Zones are defined by their reference to " dwelling units", as an example a " single detached dwelling means " a building containing only one dwelling unit". It is therefore significant to understand the definition of dwelling unit that states, "Means one or more rooms in a building, designed as, or intended as, or capable of being used or occupied as a single independent housekeeping unit and containing living, sleeping, sanitary and food preparation facilities or facilities for the installation of kitchen equipment and has an independent entrance. For the purposes of this By-law, a dwelling unit does not include any commercial accommodation or a recreational trailer." Municipal Law Enforcement has been attempting to enforce the by-law and gain compliance since it started receiving complaints associated with STRs in 2017. Municipal Law Enforcement Officers have also enforced Municipal By-laws related to noise, garbage and parking through routine follow-up and investigation. With the passage of the Interim Control By-law in July of 2018, the focus was on preventing new STRs from being created. As noted previously, under the By-law, only those short term rental accommodations in existence as of the date of passing of this by-law and used for such purposes are permitted to be maintained on such properties". This caveat existed until March 2024, with a short break between the OLT decision and confirmation of the Divisional Court Hearing. The following Chronology provides an overview of actions taken by Oro-Medonte Municipal Law Enforcement from 2019 until present.

This method worked to cease some operators from running STRs, but not all.

Provincial Offenses Act POA . January 2024 Section 440 Charge 440 Charge was settled outside of Court July 2024 Charges laid under the Zoning By-law Charges Dismissed were dismissed due to the withdrawal of charges as per the legal counsel. From 2017-2022 Municipal Law Enforcement dealt with approximately 43 short term rentals in relation to the use under the Township's Zoning By-law. By-law Enforcement had some success with a few of properties complying by either selling or removing the listing. Staff found that some property owners moved their listing from the main platforms (Airbnb, VRBO....) to Facebook, Kijiji, and local cottage associations, which in turn made it difficult to prove such an operation was continuing. Granicus only tracked the main platforms, and the Township found out after signing on that if it wanted them to scan apps like Facebook and Kijijji it would have to pay more. Updates to Official Plan STR Policies In October 2022 Council enacted a new Township Official Plan and included policy direction for STRs (Section 4.13). The new policy reflected the OLT decision from March 2022 and generally accepted policies for STR uses. The policy is as follows: "4.13 Short-Term Rental Accommodations In order to protect and maintain the character of neighbourhoods and to provide for the tourism accommodation needs of the Township the following policies apply: 1. This Plan recognizes that there are a variety of forms of short-term rental accommodation uses within the Township. These include Bed and Breakfast Establishments, Residential Care Homes, Timeshare Establishments, Village Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 13 of 19 Page 88 of 161 olnDme c��ReOso�,L °a id some fegaF°o ucbnfo m► erho�terMrrnr 'n a�ecial Projec... accommodations in the form of cottage rentals. 2. Any building used for short-term rental accommodations shall be considered a commercial use and shall only be permitted where recognized under the implementing Zoning By-law or by way of an amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law. All short-term rental accommodations shall be subject to Site Plan Control. 3. Residential rental accommodation in a residential dwelling for a period of thirty (30) days or more shall not be considered a short-term rental accommodation use and is considered a principal residential use. Such uses are governed through other legislation including the Residential Tenancies Act, as amended. 4. The scale and intensity of any short-term rental accommodation uses may affect the degree of potential disruption in the surrounding residential neighbourhood. Such accommodation uses should be regulated to ensure that the principal residential character is generally maintained. Such uses shall be directed toward a commercial or other appropriate designation and shall be prohibited within an existing registered residential plan of subdivision or other existing residential areas. 5. Based on the commercial nature of short-term rental accommodations and their potential to negatively impact an adjacent residential property, short-term rental accommodation uses shall be subject to a Zoning By-law Amendment subject to the following criteria: i. the intent of this Plan is maintained; ii. the use does not generate conflicting land use impacts with the surrounding land uses, such as noise, garbage, etc. the use is consistent with and maintains the character of the surrounding area; iv. the scale of the proposed use is suitable for the site and surrounding area; v. adequate water and sewage services can be provided to the satisfaction of the Township; vi. appropriate access routes and/or on-site parking can be provided; vii. the shoreline and water quality are protected, if located within the Shoreline designation; viii. mitigation measures such as setbacks, buffering, and landscaping to be implemented through Site Plan Control; ix. Not be permitted in existing registered residential plans of subdivision, and other existing residential areas. 6. The implementing Zoning By-law shall establish appropriate provisions related to the scale of short-term rental accommodation uses, parking requirements, separation distance, setbacks and buffering. The location, size and scale of the short-term rental accommodation use shall be regulated in a manner, which is considered compatible with surrounding uses. 7.

In addition to zoning and site plan control by-laws and associated agreements, short-term rental accommodation uses may also be subject to, but not limited to, other municipal by-laws including parking, noise, property standards, Building Code, and fire and safety regulations. 9. In accordance with the Municipal Act, 2001 as amended, Council may pass a bylaw to require a business license for the operation of short-term rental accommodation uses. 10. All short-term rental accommodation uses shall be appropriately serviced with the provision of water and sewage services." Note: The STR provisions of the Official Plan have been appealed to the OLT. Recent Council Direction The current Council took office in December 2022. One of the main issues during the 2022 election campaign was the regulation of STR's In March 2023 Council passed the following motion dealing with STRs: "And Whereas, there have been reports of numerous building code violations at temporary accommodation sites in zones where temporary accommodation is not a permitted land use, And Whereas, residents have testified under oath that their health, safety, and peaceful property enjoyment been threatened by nearby properties at which unpermitted temporary accommodation operations are ongoing, And Whereas, the Township of Oro-Medonte desires to end the zoning violation of the unpermitted use of properties for temporary accommodation in residential zones, And Whereas, the Township of Oro-Medonte desires to protect the health, safety and property enjoyment of its residents from incompatible land uses, Now Therefore, Council directs that the Township Staff provide Council with a Report setting out the process to enforce the provisions of the By-Law in order to eliminate and prevent unpermitted temporary accommodations in residential zones, That Shall, provide a methodology to identify the properties where unpermitted temporary accommodation operations exist in residential zones, And That Shall, identify a method by which the owners of the properties where the unpermitted temporary accommodation operations exist are directly notified of the land use violation and advised to cease and desist and the period of time Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 15 of 19 Page 90 of 161 ocTiie e��nd"se'CompCa�c e`Thobpenlod oytime gra► ed forcomplrga'nS�w�)al Projec... not prevent the Township from taking enforcement measures, And That Shall, identify a method by which the listing platforms are advised of specific violations of the By-law and instructed to remove the listings, And That Shall, review whether any previous instruments, decisions or other steps previously taken can be applied, not applied, rescinded or permitted to run their course in order to further support and assure the enforcement of the By- Law, And That Shall, determine the evidence required to successfully prosecute an action that will enforce the provisions of the By-Law that do not permit the use of dwelling units located in residential zones for temporary accommodation, And That Shall, provide advice on escalation of enforcement proceedings that may result in one or daily By-Law citations or culminate in a Section 440 under the Municipal Act seeking injunctive relief, And That Shall, set out the circumstances under which support will be required from the Ontario Provincial Police to ensure Municipal By-Law Staff safety and provide support for evidence collection, And Finally That Shall, include such further information, review and recommendations as may be necessary or desirable to enhance the intent of this Motion and further the efforts of the Township to enforce the provisions of the By- Law." In August of 2023 a Municipal Law Enforcement report was provided to Council outlining the Enforcement Actions taken by staff since the issue of STRs arose in the municipality. The report identified the avenue for concerned residents to submit a complaint, what staff can monitor when a concern regarding a Short-Term Rental is submitted, various charging options, and the proper way to submit a concern through the various Departments. In the fall of 2023 Municipal Law initiated a Municipal Act Section 440 charge against an owner that failed to cease the STR operation. Staff also initiated two charges under the Zoning By-law through the Provincial Offenses Act (POA). Zoning By-laws are enacted under the authority of The Planning Act and are written so as to be permissive. This means that if the use is not listed within the By-law, then it is not permitted within the specific zone. This is contrary to regulatory By-laws, which are written to prohibit activities. The Zoning By-law does not regulate the rental of dwelling units, but does prohibit dwelling units being rented as commercial accommodation. In early 2024 as staff were preparing to proceed to Court to have the charges heard the Township's prosecutor, being an independent officer of the Court, determined that the evidence gathered to support the Section 440 charge and the two POA charges against operators of STRs was not sufficient to obtain a conviction and withdrew the charges. He determined the evidence provided was insufficient secure convictions. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 16 of 19 Page 91 of 161 12.a) DS2024-093, George Vadeboncoeur, Manager, Planning, Special Projec... Municipal Law Enforcement has concluded that proceeding with further prosecutions of STR operators under the current Zoning By-law is not ideal unless they are able to obtain the evidence required. The Division must ensure it maintains its creditability in relation to the court system when it brings charges forward. Moving ahead with another prosecution using limited evidence will result in the same outcome. Gathering evidence is not as simple as it appears. STR operators are more sophisticated and aware of what is required to secure a conviction. On-line rental websites do not provide addresses of the properties for rent, just general descriptions, paper receipts are not issued, renters are coached to not say anything to enforcement officers when approached or indicate they are a "friend of the family". Further, even if municipal law enforcement is able to secure a witness, it is often difficult to compel the individual to attend court if they live several hours away. The same scenario has played out across municipalities in Ontario. The conclusion many municipalities have reached is that it is very difficult to enforce STRs in residential neigbourhoods under the provisions of a Zoning By-law due to the evidence required to secure a conviction. Even if the municipality is able to secure a conviction, the fines are quite minimal and do not come anywhere near the cost of bringing a matter to Court. This doesn't mean that nothing can be done. Municipal Law Enforcement continues to complete investigations and compile evidence as well as enforce regulatory by-laws such as noise and parking on a complaint basis no matter if it comes from an STR or not. Over this past summer, the Mayor and Deputy Mayor met with community representatives to discuss concerns about short term rentals of dwelling units in their neighbourhoods. At the end of the summer staff attended a similar meeting. In mid-August 2024 representatives attended Council to express their concerns about STRs. In response, Council passed the following motion: "That the deputations from Diana Wells and Kim Pressnail on behalf of residents who live in the Tudhope Boulevard and Lakeshore Drive East Area of Oro- Medonte outlining their concerns about short-term Rentals (STR's) operating in their neighbourhood and other residential neighbourhoods in Oro-Medonte be received; And Whereas Council received a petition signed by numerous residents expressing concerns about the nuisances caused by STRs affecting their quality of life, requesting that Council take action to address the nuisances; And Whereas the petition outlines suggestions that the municipality can take to address STRs operating in the municipality; And Whereas Council understands and appreciates the concerns being expressed and is committed to addressing the concerns arising from problematic short term rentals; Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 17 of 19 Page 92 of 161 12.a) DS2024-093, George Vadeboncoeur, Manager, Planning, Special Projec... And Whereas Council direction was provided to staff in March 2023 to take a number of actions to address STRs operating in the municipality; And Whereas staff have taken a number of actions including advancing prosecutions related to the Zoning By-Law without success due to the high legal evidentiary threshold that must be met to achieve convictions; Be it Resolved that staff be directed to prepare an Information Report for the September 11, 2024, Council meeting updating Council on what has been done by the municipality since 2018 to address STRs operating in the municipality; Be it resolved that staff be directed to prepare an Options Report with a recommendation reflecting best practice in the Province of Ontario for Council's consideration in October, 2024". Financial/Legal Implications/Risk Management Council will be considering an Options Report at a future Council meeting. Depending on the direction provided to staff, there may be costs associated with implementing the preferred option. Policies/Legislation • Municipal Act • Planning Act • Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan • Township of Oro-Medonte Zoning By-law Consultations • Chief Administrative Officer • Director, Development Services • Manager, Planning Services • Chief Municipal Law Enforcement Officer • Tudhope Community Association Conclusion Since 2018, Council and staff have undertaken multiple actions to regulate the short term commercial rental of dwelling units in the Township. Council approved an interim control by-law and undertook a study on how best to regulate STRs. From the study, Council approved an amendment to the Zoning By-law to introduce a definition of Commercial Accommodation. Council did not approve of moving forward with a licensing by-law. The zoning definition of"commercial accommodation" was not approved by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT), and on appeal, in March 2024 the Divisional Court supported the OLT decision to repeal By-law 2020- 73. Development Services September 11, 2024 Report No. DS2024-093 Page 18 of 19 Page 93 of 161 12.a) DS2024-093, George Vadeboncoeur, Manager, Planning, Special Projec... The decisions of the OLT and Divisional Court provided several take-aways for staff, including that the existing definition of Dwelling Unit in the Zoning By-law, which indicates Commercial Accommodation is not a permitted use, should be sufficient for the municipality to enforce its by-law. The OLT also clarified that the short-term rental of a dwelling unit has to reach the threshold of commercial accommodation before it can be determined it is in violation of the Zoning By-law. It also provided some guidance on the potential threshold of evidence required. Over the past seven years the Township has taken considerable efforts to address the issues presented by short term rental accommodations which have faced a number of challenges in achieving desired outcomes requiring a reassessment to address the issues associated with STRs. Following Council direction, staff will bring forward a report outlining options for Council to arrive at a strategy to improve the regulations and enforcement of short term rentals in Oro-Medonte.
