Staff Report To City Council Service Area Corporate Services Date Monday, September 25, 2017 Subject Downtown Guelph Business Association Boundary

Expansion – Report on Objections and Next Steps Report Number CS-2017-77 Recommendation That, in accordance with the legislative requirements of the Municipal Act, the request from the Downtown Guelph Business Association to expand the business improvement area be granted in accordance with ATT-1 to report CS-2017-77 ‘Downtown Guelph Business Association Boundary Expansion–Report on Objections and Next Steps’, dated September 25, 2017 and that staff be directed to bring forward a by-law at the next regular Council meeting.

Executive Summary

Purpose of Report To advise Council of the results of the statutory notice and objection period relating to the proposed expansion of the Downtown Guelph Business Association (DGBA) business improvement area.

Key Findings Notice of the proposed business improvement area expansion was sent to all business owners in the existing and proposed business improvement area in early July 2017. Owners were notified that they must advise all tenants of the proposed expansion and provide to the City Clerk a list of applicable tenant information. The total number of owners and tenants in the existing and proposed business improvement area is 240. The total number of objections received was 23. These objections represent 10% of the total number of owners and tenants. The total number of objections received represents 1% and 24% of the total commercial and industrial tax base in the existing and proposed business improvement area respectively. Therefore, the threshold of objections required to prevent the passing of a by-law expanding the DGBA business improvement area has not been met.

Page 1 of 3

Financial Implications An expansion to the DGBA will require a nominal reallocation of City resources to set-up and administer billing the levy on an annual basis. There are no on-going financial implications for the City of Guelph. Changes to the business improvement area levy resulting from an expansion affect only the DGBA. Commercial and industrial property owners within the expanded area, if approved, would have the levy added annually to their final tax bills.

Report On June 26, 2017 City Council initiated, at the request of the DGBA, the statutory process for the expansion of the DGBA business improvement area. This report includes the results of the statutory notice and objection period as well as next steps in the expansion process. As per Section 210 of the Municipal Act, notice of the proposed expansion was sent to all assessed business owners in the existing and the proposed business improvement area. Business owners were then required to provide a copy of that notice to each of their tenants as well as a list of tenants to the City Clerk’s Office. Business owners and tenants had a total of 60 days from the date notices were sent to submit objections to the proposed expansion. Objections In order to prevent the passing of a by-law expanding the DGBA business improvement area, objections needed to be filed by at least 1/3 of the total persons entitled to receive notice (owners and tenants). In addition, those objecting needed to represent 1/3 of the assessment value for commercial properties in either the existing or proposed business improvement area. The total number of owners and tenants in the existing and proposed business improvement area is 240. The total number of objections received was 23. These objections represent 10% of the total number of owners and tenants. The total number of objections received represents 1% and 24% of the total commercial tax base in the existing and proposed business improvement area respectively. Therefore, the threshold of objections required to prevent the passing of a by-law expanding the DGBA business improvement has not been met. As a result, staff are seeking direction to proceed with the passing of a by-law at the next regular Council meeting to expand the area of the DGBA business improvement area as shown in ATT-1.
