  AND WHEREAS on October 28, 2019, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 132, Better for People, Smarter for Business Act, 2019 which in part sought to amend the HTA to include a new section 75.1 that will make it an offence to tamper with motor vehicles by (a) removing, bypassing, defeating or rendering inoperative all or part of a motor vehicle's emission control system or (b) modifying a motor or motor vehicle in any way that results in increased emissions from the level to which it was originally designed or certified by the manufacturer of the motor or motor vehicle;

  AND WHEREAS section 75.1 of the HTA will also prohibit the sale of tampering devices that can create excessive noise or smoke on our streets and in our neighbourhoods;

  AND WHEREAS on December 10, 2019, Bill 132 received royal assent, however the Lieutenant Governor has not yet proclaimed section 75.1 of the HTA despite over a year having passed since Bill 132 received royal assent;

  AND WHEREAS on August 5, 2020, Council for the Corporation of the City of Mississauga passed Resolution 0284-2020 calling on the Province of Ontario to immediately proclaim and bring into force section 75.1 of the HTA;

  THEREFORE be it resolved that in recognition of the continuous problem in Mississauga and other municipalities related to modified mufflers that create excessive or unusual noise and excessive smoke, that Council make a second and urgent request to the Province of Ontario that section 75.1 of the Highway Traffic Act be proclaimed and brought into force immediately;

REVISED A motion to request staff to prepare a Minister’s Zoning Order to support the Studio Bottega Inc. development proposal (Councillor Parrish) (CONSENT)

• RESOLUTION 0091-2021
  Moved By Councillor K. Ras
  Seconded By Councillor S. Dasko

  WHEREAS several companies have established film studios in Mississauga primarily through the repurposing of existing buildings; and

  WHEREAS Studio Bottega Inc. has made a proposal for a purpose-built Film Studio on 6.07 hectares of land located at the southeast corner of Derry Road and Maritz Drive, on the west side of Hurontario Street, making it the largest film studio complex in Ontario; and

  WHEREAS the development will include two, four-storey studio buildings, each providing six stages for production services, along with service towers, offices, stage support and mill facilities - totalling 42,267.2 square metres; and

  WHEREAS the local economic impact, both short and long term, will be significant: 3,296 construction jobs ($301m) and 5,591 permanent jobs ($530m annually) with commensurate property and business tax revenue for the City; and

  WHEREAS Studio Bottega will be a meaningful addition to the film industry in our City, establishing Mississauga as a significant film location while assisting with the recovery of performing arts which have been particularly affected by the pandemic; and

  WHEREAS the development will be situated in the Gateway Corporate Centre which is a business employment area recently redesignated and rezoned to Office; and

  WHEREAS the main studios will be situated on the western half of the property, the Office designation and zoning will remain on the lands fronting Hurontario Street, maintaining the intent of the recent Gateway Corporate Centre redesignation; and

  WHEREAS an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment required to permit this project could take in excess of 9 months, which would place this project at risk of not meeting commitments made by the developers at this location; and

  WHEREAS granting a Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) would not result in significant deviation from the intent of the recent redesignation of the subject lands from Business Employment to Office, which included extensive public consultation; and

  WHEREAS Site Plan control is not included in the MZO request, ensuring the lands directly fronting Hurontario Street include a significant office component and the design is compatible with the existing and planned surrounding developments; and

  WHEREAS the City Corporate Report approved by Council on February 3, 2021 recommended that the Province should use an MZO “only when it will provide public benefits including affordable housing, public health improvements and significant job creation”; and

  WHEREAS an MZO in this case would provide a clear public benefit, shortening a process to meet deadlines without changing the probable outcome - a process for which MZOs were intended;

  THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED:

  That a Council request for a Minister’s Zoning Order be prepared by staff, based on the rationale provided in this motion, in support of the Studio Bottega Inc. development proposal and that it be forwarded to The Honourable Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and copied to The Honourable Lisa MacLeod, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports.

  And whereas, during the COVID-19 pandemic residents have been working from and spending more time at home;

  And whereas, the noise levels in residents’ neighbourhoods have a significant impact on quality of life;

  And whereas, mental health of residents has been increasingly negatively impacted as the COVID-19 pandemic has continued;

  And whereas O.Reg. 131/20 is in force until October 7, 2021;

  Therefore, be it resolved that The City of Mississauga request that the Province of Ontario review the O.Reg. 131/20 permitting construction noise between the hours of 6:00AM and 10:00PM to limit the disruption to residents.
