In response to the April 7, 2021 Council request, this report comments on the feasibility of deferring the payment of development charges for Anduhyaun Women's Shelter, a violence against women emergency shelter. The development proposal by Anduhyaun Women's Shelter is to construct a three storey Crisis Care Shelter for women. The shelter is a family support shelter that is substance free and provides culturally sensitive counselling and referrals for women and their children.

The City's development charges bylaw requires a payment of $135,055.67 at the time of building permit issuance. While it is feasible to provide a deferral through a section 27 agreement, staff recommend that Council refer this request to the comprehensive bylaw review currently underway. This report seeks authority to enter into an agreement to defer payment until that review has been completed and where Council may see it fit to provide an exemption of the charges. This report has been prepared in consultation with the City Legal Services and Toronto Building.
