PREVIOUS REPORTS PERTINENT TO THIS MATTER

December 2007 Report to Town and Gown Committee - Town and Gown Initiatives - This report identified efforts that have already been made in London by the University, Colleges, Students Council, Neighbourhood Groups, London Police, London Fire, By-law Enforcement, and Planning and Development to address Town and Gown issues.

Februarv 2008 Report to Plannina Committee - Closinq the Gap: New Partnerships for Great Neiahbourhoods Sdrroundincl our Universitv and Colleaes - This report to Planning Committee proposed 10 strategic initiatives designed to collectively achieve the common vision for the near campus neighbourhoods.

BACKGROUND I) On March 3, 2008, Council resolved that the report entitled “Closing the Gap: New Partnerships for Great Neignbourhoods Surrounding our University and Cokges” (herein after referred to as the “Great Near-Campus Neighbourhoods Strategy”) be received and be circulated to various stakeholders and interested parties for review. Following the circulation of the report, Staff from the Department of Planning and Development held public information sessions for students, neighbours, landlords, school administration and others to present the 10 strategies identified in

1


M. Tomazincic the “Great Near-Campus Neighbourhoods Strategy” to inform these various interested parties and to solicit their feedback.

The 10 strategies are designed to cumulatively create great near-campus neighbourhood by closing the gap between the collective vision for our near campus neighbourhoods and the current state of affairs in these neighbourhoods. In order to achieve the collective vision, the 10 strategies require a coordinated response from: City Staff, London Police, London Fire, the University of Western Ontario administration, Fanshawe College administration, Student Governments, neighbourhood associations, and others. The 10 strategies are:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Welcome students as a vital part of our community Provide for safe housing Offer a higher level of public service to the community Align expectations Protect residential amenity Provide alternatives to balance the mix Create great places and spaces in our neighbourhoods Invest in infrastructure Level the Dlavina field for landlords

10. Provide for a?fo;dable housing

These strategies have been further broken down into numerous proposed initiatives. The full list of 10 strategies and associated initiatives is attached as Appendix 1 of this report.

The public information sessions were held at Fanshawe College, the University of Western Ontario (Main Campus), King’s College, and City Hall in an effort to reach as many interested stakeholders as possible. The information sessions included a Staff presentation followed by an open discussion where the audience was invited to make comments, ask questions, and provide feedback. The sessions then closed with the attendees being asked to rank the proposed strategies according to their feelings of priority through a method referred to as ”dot democracy”. This method involves the organizer displaying large charts around a room which list the 10 strategies and their underlying proposed initiatives. The participants are then given 5 adhesive dots which they place on the charts next to the strategy that they feel is a priority. Participants may place more than one dot beside any given strategy to stress its importance. The intent of this process is to provide for an understanding of the priorities that different groups place on the 10 strategies and the initiatives that have been proposed. This is not used as a voting mechanism, but rather as an analytical technique.

II SUMMARY OF PUBLIC CONSULTATION II In order to evaluate whether the proposed initiatives are relevant and comprehensive, the audience was invited to discuss: a) whether all their concerns have been identified in the list of strategic initiatives, and/or b) whether one or more of their concerns remains absent form the list of strategic initiatives. In others words, Staff asked, “have we hit the right notes?” and ”have we missed anything?”.

The general feedback received from the Public Information Sessions indicated that, for the most part, the 10 strategic initiatives introduced in the Great Near-Campus Neighbourhoods Strategy have encompassed a majority of the concerns of those in attendance. No strategy or list of initiatives could hope to cover everyone’s concerns or everyone’s ideas for how their concerns should be addressed. However, there was a broad base of support for the 10 strategies in general and varying levels of support for each of the proposed initiatives.

Despite this broad support, there were some proposed initiatives introduced by those in attendance which were not explicitly identified in the report. These proposed initiatives are listed below,

2


I

Prouosed Initiatives

Provision of affordable housing for students

Provision of universally accessible housing for students

The provision of overnight, on- street parking

Establishing separation distances between student rental housing or concentration caps on student housing

Banning rental signage from being displayed year-round on any one property and preventing rental signs from being posted on high profile sites for accommodation in other parts of the City Better engagement of students in civic affairs and more unique community building activities

Analysis

The issue of affordability was addressed in Strategy 1 and Strategy 10 (explore housing co- op). Furthermore, there is an opportunity to influence affordability through the supply side of the economic equation - namely Strategy 6 recommends that Staff, “Identify opportunities for medium and high density development at strategic locations.” Universal accessibility can be promoted through financial incentives. Strategy 10 explores the idea of a Community Improvement Plan. This issue has previously been addressed by Council. While there is merit to considering overnight on-street parking in the City as a whole, there is a concern that providing for this in the near- campus neighbourhoods could exacerbate the problem of over- intensification by allowing for more development on existing lots and also allowing for more overcrowding of students on under-serviced lots. This proposed tool would require a definition of student housing which does not appear to be possible at this time. If separation distances or quotas are used, they would need to be applied to rental housing in certain structure types which would create a hierarchy of tenure, preferring ownership to rental. This would not be appropriate, nor sound planning. It may also have the effect of reducing the supply of rental housing and thereby undermine affordability. This would not be consistent with the strategic initiative of welcoming students as a vital part of our community. Many rental signs are posted on sites along major arterials due to their high visibility location. However, often the sign is placed there to advertise a rental accommodation in another part of the Citv. Strategy 1 includes “Engaging students in the dialogue and solution buildino”.

Remove the strategies which seek to create additional opportunities for on-campus housing at Western and opportunities for campus relocation (Western)

Amend the initiative that require: the development of an accredited housing list to add, "this effort may be duplicative once the Rental Residential Business Licensing By-law is in place" Amend the initiatives that requirt the exploration of a Rental Housing Licensing By-law to require that this By-law be implemented

Analysis

4 5-day garbage cycle would be ied to a much larger garbage :ollection; recycling; and green bin nitiative, being undertaken by EESD. It is expected that a eport on this larger initiative will )e forwarded to Planning >ommittee in 2008. EESD Staff are aware of the concerns that are ieing expressed in near campus ieiahbourhoods. There is a traffic study currently Jeing conducted in North London Nhich aims to reduce the volume ,f traffic and slow the speed of traffic as part of a separate nitiative. Strategy 8 includes a review of the nours and regularity of transit service on key student corridors. It also includes a proposal to add LTC to consider late night bussing. In recognition of the principles and policies contained within the University of Western Ontario's Campus Masterplan, all of Western's lands have been master planned to meet future academic priorities.

This suggestion has the potential to increase the cost of accommodation and could undermine the affordability of a broad spectrum of rental housing. There also significant issues with legally defining this use as a separate tax class The addition of this statement to the existing phrasing is reasonable.

At present, the potential of this B y law is being explored. There have been two public consultation sessions with widely held opinions expressed on both sides of the issue. The research, analysis, and consultation required for this proposed By-law must be allowed to proceed so that a conclusion, which takes into account the

1 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Table to identify partners and stratenies It is important to understand that the implementation of the Great Near-Campus Neighbourhoods Strategy requires action by multiple parties - referred to herein as “partners”.

Given the input received from the public consultation session, the intent was to assign a timeline and establish a stakeholder/partner to spearhead each strategy to create a measure of accountability. As a result, a table was created which identifies the partner organizations (eg the City, the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College) and the strategies that each partner organization will manage. At the top of the table is a timeline which identifies the expected period of time required to initiate each strategy. This table has been referred to as the “Implementation Plan”.

Creation of Timelines Throughout the course of public consultation the underlying message received by Staff from those in attendance was that regardless of which strategies were given priority, all the strategies were important and should be initiated in the near-term future. The longest timeline on the Implementation Table has been set at 1-3 years. The strategies in this column are those that require additional time for consuitation and/or research and the allocation of required resources. A shorter-term timeline to initiate various strategies has been set at Next Year. This column includes those strategies that can be initiated in the short-term future after the priority items have been completed. And an immediate timeline to initiate priority strategies has been set at 6-months. This column lists the strategies that have been identified as the highest priority during the public consultation session.

Two other timelines were added as well to recognize the past efforts of the partner organizations and to identify the strategies that have already been initiated. These columns are entitled “Previous 3 years” and “Recently Completed/Underway” respectively. This look at recent initiatives is intended to give a “big picture” view of what is being done to address student housing.

RECOMM,&DEQI~W

NNlNG AND DEVELOPMENT 1

M. Tomazincic

It is important to understand that the timelines listed in these tables are contingent on available resources and other projects and priorities that are underway or introduced by Council in the future.

Reauired Resources As previously stated, several of the top strategic priorities focused on upgrading the resources and abilities of the Citv's Bv-law Enforcement Division. Resources reauired to imolement these strategies are to be asse&ed by Staff and are to come forward for' deliberation through the 2009 budget review process.

I ANNUAL PROGRESS MONITORING

One concern that has been raised is that the timeline for the Implementation Pian exceeas the term of the current Council. Therefore, there is a desire to include a monitoring initiative to ensure the continuity of the Implementation Plan from year-to-year.

Council has established a Town and Gown Committee and this groLp could help to retain continuity from Council between terms. The Annual Progress Report will provide the Town and Gown Committee and Council witn a report that identifies:

the initiatives that have been implemented; the initiatives that are awaiting completion; the parties responsible for completing the initiatives; and, the expected timeline to complete the remaining initiatives.

11

- - = -

Providing this progress report will instil accountability and also help to provide continuity and ongoing press to progress the Great Near-Campus Neighbourhoods Strategy.

CONCLUSION

Given the input received from the public consultation session an "Implementation Pian" has been created to assign and manage the multitude of strategies within the next three years. By coordinating the efforts of the University of Western Ontario, Fanshawe College, and the City of London and its boards and commissions with input from the student bodies and the residents of near campus neighbourhoods, we can all move closer to the collective vision for great near- campus neighbourhoods.
