NOTICE OF MOTION

15.1

REVISED - A Motion to request staff to review fireworks in the city (Councillor Parrish)

Councillor Parrish amended the motion to remove the wording: Sales must be in sections of permanent building with a principle business other than fireworks.

Councillor Parrish summarized the rational for the Motion to request staff to conduct research and to report on the subject matter.  

Councillor Brad Butt commented on looking forward to receiving the industries input so that fireworks can continue to be sold and used safely for everyone to enjoy.

Councillor Dasko wants to ensure that a thorough study is conducted with consultation from all stakeholders.

Councillor Damerla expressed her concern that the Motion does not identify the problems that exist, for which this Motion is addressing, and that from the onset, the Motion suggests a ban of fireworks.  Further Councillor Damerla expressed concern that small businesses would be impacted by the proposed changes if implemented, and suggested amendments to the Motion that would still give direction to staff but would state the problems that are to be addressed.

In response to Councillor Parrish's inquiry, Geoff Wright, Commissioner, Transportation and Works advised that the direction is clear and that staff will work with Fire Services staff, consult with the industry, conduct public consultations and report back to Council on it's recommendations.

Councillor Damerla noted her disappointment with the motion  and withdrew her proposed amendments.

Councillor Kovac commented on the complaints he has received regarding setting off of fireworks days before and after events; complaints coming from persons with pets, seniors and person who are from war torn places, and described the safety concerns in Ward 4, specifically around the Condominiums.

Councillor Mahoney is in favour of staff direction to review the issues and report back so that we can address the issues and concerns.

Mayor Crombie recognized Councillor Damerla's perspective and powerful comments, and does not want small businesses to be penalized nor the community to feel that the City is preventing them from celebrating the holidays and feel welcomed.  Mayor Crombie noted that she trusts Councillor Parrish and staff to move forward without bias without any intent of impacted to small businesses and having communities feel unwelcomed. Mayor Crombie requested that staff also include in their review whether we have the proper measures to control indoor pyrotechnics, and include the direction to staff from a previous Council meeting to review public displays at Celebration Square and other venues for Diwali and Lunar New Year.

  Moved By Councillor C. Parrish
  Seconded By Councillor B. Butt

  Whereas Section 131 of the Municipal Act allows municipalities to prohibit or regulate the use of fireworks; Whereas Councils in Caledon (2019) and Brampton (2022) have chosen to ban fireworks outright in those municipalities;

  And Whereas stricter bylaws governing the sale of fireworks, restrictions on the type of fireworks for individual use and clarification of the days and hours fireworks can be used, is preferable to a total ban at this time;

  And Whereas restriction to only F1 and F2 classifications of fireworks under the Explosives Act will contribute to the safe enjoyment of individual fireworks displays (showers, artificial rain, lawn lights, pin wheels, some Roman candles, volcanoes and sparklers);

  And Whereas strict regulations for vendors’ permits for the sale of fireworks should include the following proposed regulations and restrictions:

  • vendors must attend education sessions provided free of charge by the Canadian Fireworks Association
  • licensing and follow up inspections shall be under the control of the Mississauga Fire Department or their agents
  • temporary sites such as tents, trailers and huts will no longer be licensed for the sale of fireworks for safety reasons as they, by their nature have temporary wiring and shelving, can be crowded with makeshift entrance and egress openings and can be in close proximity to cigarette smokers
  • sales must be in sections of permanent
  • fireworks vendors must carry general liability insurance not less than $5 million and must name the City of Mississauga as an additional insured as a cross liability
  • for each of the four permitted holidays, vendors must obtain a new temporary sales permit
  • permits will be for a maximum of 12 consecutive days only: 3 days to set up, 7 days including the actual holiday for sales ending at 7:00 pm, and 2 days to dismantle
  • each permit will be $1000 per holiday with mandatory fire inspection taking place on the first application and spot checks thereafter
  • functioning fire extinguishers must be easily accessed at every location
  • the owner of the building in which fireworks are sold will be deemed to have committed the same offence as the vendor and fined separately (current fines in place are $25,000 for an individual and $50,000 for a corporation);

  And Whereas information on safe storage, handling and detonation of fireworks must be clearly posted at all sales locations with a pamphlet version included with each sale;

  • purchasers must be 18+ and must show proof of age and address
  • addresses must be logged by the vendor and available to bylaw enforcement to assist in investigating complaints
  • packages of home kits shall not exceed 22.68kg or 50lb per individual purchaser;

  And Whereas some holidays approved for fireworks involve multiple days of celebration, the municipality will set the single date for each on which fireworks can be used;

  • special events which are permitted by the Fire Department, under the supervision of a certified pyrotechnic expert can still operate outside the four designated days in each calendar year
  • fireworks can only be detonated during the hours between dusk and 11:00pm
  • individuals in breach of the fireworks bylaw shall be fined as well as the homeowner on whose property the offence takes place
  • fines shall be set in an amount sufficient to act as a strong deterrent; Whereas the final fireworks bylaw will reinforce the current regulation stating no neighbourhood fireworks displays shall take place on City property including roadways, boulevards, sidewalks or parkland.

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED

  That the information and direction contained in this Notice of Motion, and any other relevant material be addressed by staff in a detailed report to Council;and further

  That the report from staff also include recommendations regarding the staffing required to enforce any bylaws coming out of the report, once approved by Council, as well as suggested methods of supervising traditionally high incident areas; and further

  That any resulting bylaw be in effect for one calendar year from the date of its passing with a follow up staff report on its success in curbing improper activity.

15.3

A Motion to request staff report back on a new "Housing Action Plan" for the new term of Council 2022-2026 (Mayor Crombie)

Councillor Reid assumed the Acting Mayor Role

Mayor Crombie emphasized the importance of housing affordability and commitment to working with the province to achieve the Provincial targets.  Mayor Crombie spoke to the Motion for staff to report on the progress on "Making Room for the Middle" and chart a path forward to achieve targets.

Councillor Fonseca spoke in support of the Motion and suggested amendments to the Motion.

In response to Mayor Crombie's inquiry regarding unit sizes, Shari Lichterman noted that unit sizes was discussed during the Development Charges By-law update and that under new legislation the by-law isn't scheduled for review until 2027 and that if there were significant changes there would be a process to follow to reopen the review of the by-law.  Ms. Lichterman advised that she would collaborate with Commissioner Whittemore's team on reviewing ways to incentify family sized dwellings. 

Members of Council spoke to the Motion and raised questions and concerns regarding the following:

• character input;
• reaching out to Province to communicate need to review by-law before 2027;
• Provincial timelines for permit approvals;
• is there a communication action plant to send out to residents;
• are there grant options available to incentify 3 bedroom units;
• intensifying near major transit areas;
• transparent process;
• the progress of the CIP and has it helped gaining more commercial/office space in the downtown core
•  

Geoff Wright, Commissioner of Transportation and Works, Shari Lichterman, Commissioner of Corporate Services and Chief Financial Officer, Andrew Whittemore, Commissioner, Planning and Building and Robert Trewartha, Director, Strategic Communications and Initiatives responded to the questions from Members of Council.

Councillor Parrish suggested amendments to the Motion

Mayor Crombie agreed with the proposed amendments to the Motion.

• RESOLUTION 0008-2023
  Moved By Mayor Crombie
  Seconded By Councillor J. Horneck

  WHEREAS cities across the province are facing a housing affordability crisis, and the province has passed several pieces of legislation in the past year with the goal of getting more shovels in the ground; 

  AND WHEREAS the province has set the ambitious goal of building 1.5 million homes in the next decade, of which 120,000 are to be built in Mississauga; 

  AND WHEREAS Mississauga already had a plan in place to meet the province’s 2051 growth targets, and understands that these plans will need to be accelerated and new policies and funding options be considered to meet the province in meeting their goal of building 1.5 million homes over the next decade; 

  AND WHEREAS construction is currently at a 30-year high in the City of Mississauga, with the city issuing building permits for nearly 6,500 new homes in 2022, a record number; and 

  AND WHEREAS the City of Mississauga has been working over the past decade to address the housing affordability crisis, and has implemented 90 percent of the actions outlined in its Making Room for the Middle plan, including:

  • Working with the development community to streamline and digitize processes that are ensuring we meet approval targets for building permits 95% of the time;
  • Protecting rental housing from demolition and conversion;
  • Permitting secondary or basement units;
  • Exploring gentle density intensification (i.e. garden suites and duplexes);
  • Implementing inclusionary zoning, and;
  • Providing Development Charges grants for eligible affordable rental housing developments.

  AND WHEREAS Council shares the province’s goal of building more homes and has raised concerns about the impact that Bill 23 will have on how we can collect development charges and parkland levies – resulting in projected losses of up to $885 million over ten years, or 20% of our capital budget. Council has called on the province to fully compensate Mississauga for any and all losses; and 

  AND WHEREAS while municipalities can help cut red tape and speed up approvals, which Mississauga is doing, they cannot be held accountable for housing targets out of their control, which is why developers must also be accountable for getting shovels in the ground and helping the province meet their building targets, as well as passing any incentives on to homebuyers; 

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  1. City Council direct staff to report back at General Committee February 22, 2023 with a new "Housing Action Plan” for the 2022-2026 term of Council. This plan should provide an update on the progress made through Making Room for the Middle and chart a path forward for the City to help the province meet their goal of building 120,000 new homes in the next decade; and 

  2. This plan take into account best urban planning practices, including outlining the necessary infrastructure, especially transit, that will be needed to support projected growth. This plan should also respect the city’s efforts to encourage gentle density by building complete communities, regionally integrated transit and a more walkable, connected 15-minute community; and 

  3. As part of this plan, staff should provide recommendations on how we can help the province achieve their targets in the next decade by exploring policies that achieve the following objectives:
     1. Accommodating additional growth and density in planned developments across the city, including in and around major transit station areas (MTSAs)
     2. Studying the conversion of employment lands in support of new mixed-use residential communities, as recently identified by Regional Council Protecting existing and building more market and affordable rental, as well as rent to own models
     3. Ensuring the right mix of housing stock, including mandating family-sized and accessible units in new condo builds and rental builds
     4. Working with post-secondary institutions to increase the availability of student housing
     5. Making it easier for residents/builders to create additional dwelling units on a lot
     6. Enhancing and expanding the Region of Peel’s My Home Second Unit Renovation Program and the Peel Affordable Rental Incentives Program
     7. Explore a “Housing Affordability Committee” to help the city implement this plan once finalized. This committee shall include representation from the construction, trades development communities, not for profit organizations and Members of Council 

  That a copy of this resolution and the plan, once finalized, be sent the Premier, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, Mississauga MPPs, the Region of Peel, AMO, OBCM, BILD, FMC and the local development community.
