As the city filed it

On December 16, 2019, the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario posted notice that certain Development Charges Act, 1997 changes would come into effect on January 1, 2020. These changes included the requirement that development charges for rental housing development be paid in installments and collected in six equal annual payments over five years, starting from the date of occupancy. Permit Number 19-29298 BLD 00 BA for a rental housing proposal at 1906-1930 Weston Road was reviewed in accordance with the Development Charges Act.

This permit application is for interior alterations resulting in the creation of thirteen (13) new rental dwelling units to the existing mixed use building containing retail/commercial uses and residential apartments. In accordance with the section 26.1 of the Development Charges Act, a development charge in the amount of $417,806.00 for the creation of the thirteen (13) rental dwelling units were deferred and will be required to be paid in instalments at first occupancy. The applicant for this project has requested to pay development charges earlier, on or before November 16, 2020, rather than having to pay in installments over six years starting from the date of occupancy. This Motion seeks Council authority to enter into a Development Charges Early Payment Agreement pursuant to Section 27 of the Development Charges Act for the rental housing portion of the proposal.
