5 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Community Improvement in Oshawa The City of Oshawa has a rich history of involvement in efforts to improve individual communities. Urban renewal initiatives were identified as early as the 1960 s as City policy following the completion of a 1968 study by Murray V. Jones and Associates entitled Urban Renewal Study: City of Oshawa. The City subsequently participated in the Neighbourhood Improvement Program (NIP), a joint initiative of Federal and Provincial governments. This participation resulted in $2.43 million in grants from the senior levels of government in order to undertake much needed upgrades within mature residential areas of the City. The Federal government ended their participation in NIP in The Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Program (ONIP) was subsequently established by the Province of Ontario and offered 50% funding for municipal improvement projects. In the early to mid 1980 s, the City of Oshawa received ONIP grants totaling $800,000. NIP and ONIP provided valuable funding assistance for improvements to municipally owned properties. Financial assistance to residential properties was available through the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) and continues to be available through a variety of programs including the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program (RRAP) and the Provincial Sales Tax Grant for Builders. In March 1985, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing approved new Community Improvement policies for the City of Oshawa as an amendment to the Official Plan for the former Oshawa Planning Area. These policies were subsequently incorporated into the Oshawa Official Plan in June of 1985 and provided the basis for the continued improvement of Oshawa s communities, including continued participation in Provincial programs. In 1986, the Province established a revised improvement program known as the Program for Renewal, Improvement, Development and Economic Revitalization (PRIDE). This program broadened the range of land uses eligible for financial assistance and included commercial, industrial and mixed-use areas. In January 1987, the City of Oshawa prepared a PRIDE plan and submitted an application for shared funding from the Province for lands generally comprising the Central Business District and the former Fittings site. The Minister allocated a grant of $375,000 to the City, an amount that was matched by City Council in September of The funds were spent on parkette development, decorative street lighting and parking lot beautification among other matters. In 1989, the City received and matched a provincial grant of $350,000 under the PRIDE program for an area south of the Central Business District, extending to Highway 401, between Simcoe Street South and the Oshawa Creek/Cubert Street. A Community Improvement Plan was approved and implemented improvements to local community centres, the Oshawa Creek bicycle trail and street tree planting. In December of 1990, the City submitted a third application for PRIDE funding and received and matched a Provincial grant of $200,000. The funds were earmarked for use in the Bloor Street corridor to undertake sidewalk improvements, road Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Plan Page 2
6 reconstruction, aesthetic improvements, and improvements to parks and recreational facilities. In July of 2001, the City of Oshawa adopted the Central Business District Renaissance Community Improvement Plan. This Community Improvement Plan contains four grant programs and three loan programs and is intended to revitalize Oshawa s Central Business District. This Community Improvement Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in October of In July of 2003, the City of Oshawa adopted the Simcoe Street South Renaissance Community Improvement Plan. This Community Improvement Plan contains a façade improvement loan program and a streetscape improvement program. The Simcoe Street South Renaissance Community Improvement Plan is intended to encourage private sector re-investment in the Simcoe Street South corridor. This Community Improvement Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in November of In December of 2005, the City of Oshawa adopted the Brownfields Renaissance Community Improvement Plan. This Community Improvement Plan encourages the rehabilitation and reuse of contaminated lands through study grants, tax cancellations and redevelopment grants. This Community Improvement Plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing in May of Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area Boundaries The boundaries of the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Plan are shown on Exhibit No. 1. These boundaries are based on the recommendations of the Downtown Oshawa Action Plan, prepared by the consulting team of Marshall Macklin Monaghan and Davies Howe Partners and excludes Downtown Shoulder Area lands included in the Central Business District Renaissance Community Improvement Plan. City Council adopted, in principle, the Downtown Oshawa Action Plan on July 18, The existing land use and other background information pertaining to the Downtown Shoulder Area Community Improvement Area are described in Section Community Improvement Plan Preparation The Community Improvement Plan as contained in Sections 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 of this document has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13. Stakeholder input was obtained from a number of property owners and business interests through a statutory public meeting held in accordance with Section 17 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13. The statutory public meeting was advertised in a local newspaper. The statutory public meeting was held on August 28, 2006, to explain the program and receive feedback.

8 2.0 Background Information 2.1 Existing Land Use Pattern The existing land use pattern in the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area is shown on Exhibit No. 2. The breakdown of the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area by land use type is shown on Table No. 1. Table No. 1: Land Use Type by Area Land Use Hectares % of Total Commercial Vacant Residential Institutional/Government Utility/Transportation/Communication/Special Purpose/Community Parks, Open Space and Recreation Industrial Total Source: Oshawa Land Information, 2006 The Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area contains retail, office, service and institutional uses concentrated along the periphery of the Central Business District. 2.2 Places to Grow On June 13, 2005, the Province passed The Places to Grow Act, 2005 which provides the legal framework necessary for the Province to designate a geographic area as a growth plan area and subsequently to develop a growth plan for that area. On June 16, 2006, the Province released the final Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe for public review and comment. Key implications of the Growth Plan for the City of Oshawa are: Downtown Oshawa is identified as an urban growth centre; and Downtown Oshawa will be required to be planned to achieve, by 2031 or earlier, a minimum growth density target of 200 residents and jobs combined per gross hectare in the urban growth centre.

10 2.3 Downtown Oshawa Action Plan On July, 18, 2005, City Council considered the Downtown Oshawa Action Plan prepared by the consulting team of Marshall Macklin Monaghan and Davies Howe Partners and adopted a multi-part resolution that included the following: That the Downtown Oshawa Action Plan be adopted in principle. The Downtown Oshawa Action Plan contains the following eight objectives, each with their own set of priority actions: Walkable Scale Welcoming Environment for Development A Safe Place to Live, Work and Play Financially Viable Development Enhancing Public Spaces Visible Signs of Change Promoting a Positive Image; and Leadership to Make it Happen. 2.4 Oshawa Official Plan Land Use Designations The Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area is located within the Main Central Area as delineated in the Oshawa Official Plan. The Main Central Area serves as the dominant Central Area in Durham Region, has a specific emphasis on office, business and administrative services and also serves as the focal point of the public transportation system. The Oshawa Official Plan land use designations for the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area are shown on Exhibit No. 3. The southern boundary of the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area is based on the John Street East extension as designated on Schedule B Transportation in the Oshawa Official Plan.

12 2.4.2 Community Improvement Policies The Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area is shown as part of the Community Improvement Area delineated on Schedule C-1 Renaissance Community Improvement Area of the Oshawa Official Plan. Section 4.0, Community Improvement of the Oshawa Official Plan, contains a number of policies pertaining to community improvement. These Official Plan policies served as the basis for the City s participation in ONIP and PRIDE programs. Certain additional policies have been added to the Official Plan relating to Renaissance Community Improvement Areas. Section of the Oshawa Official Plan identifies various Sub-areas with associated problems and required improvements. Amendment No. 122 to the Oshawa Official Plan added policy language related to the problems and deficiencies in Sub-area D and delineated the limits of Sub-area D on Schedule C-1 Renaissance Community Improvement Area. Problems identified within Sub-area D are aesthetics and the rehabilitation of lands and buildings. Programs to partially address these problems are described in Section 3.3 and 5.0 of this Plan. As a prerequisite for the adoption of a Community Improvement Plan, Council has designated the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area as a Community Improvement Project Area by by-law pursuant to Section 28 (2) of the Planning Act Other Related Official Plan Policies Section of the Oshawa Official Plan states that the development of all Central Areas shall be in accordance with good design principles and consideration shall be given to the following: Urban design schemes which include the massing of built form in relation to surrounding land uses, common internal vehicular and pedestrian circulation, integration of the location and design of structures, and the integration of parking areas and access points with those of adjacent land uses; Landscaping as an integral part of all developments; Integration of walkways, parkland and open space; Discouraging open storage; Potential public transit routes and a sufficient balance of off-street parking in accordance with acceptable design principles and in consideration of the proportion of people anticipated to travel by different means of transportation; and The type and design of signs related to activities in all areas in order to avoid conflicts with traffic signals and signs, and related to the aesthetics of the environment. 2.5 Zoning By-Law No The present zone categories in the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area generally reflect the existing land uses. Exhibit No. 4 shows the zone categories for properties located within the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area.

13 It should be noted that Sections 2.4 and 2.5 and Exhibits No. 2, 3 and 4 are intended to provide a general overview of the planning framework. For specific information regarding the Oshawa Official Plan and Zoning By-law No , the actual documents should be consulted. 2.6 Population Land use designations in the Downtown Shoulder Area include Residential, Industrial, Planned Commercial Strip and Open Space and Recreation. Residential development is permitted under the Residential designation and the Planned Commercial Strip designation subject to the inclusion of appropriate provisions in the zoning by-law. According to the Oshawa Land Information, the Downtown Shoulder Area has a population of approximately 2,900 people in The population of Downtown Shoulder Area is expected to increase by 1,000 persons during the duration of this Plan.

15 3.0 Problems and Deficiencies 3.1 Economic Indicators The Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area does not exhibit severe characteristics of economic decline, but there are various indicators that the area has not maximized its potential. These indicators include underutilized properties and marginal uses. The Community Improvement Plan is designed to stimulate private sector interest and strengthen business opportunities within the Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Area. 3.2 Building Conditions One indicator of the need for Community Improvement is the state of the current building stock. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has previously required that a minimum of 25% of the buildings be characterized by deficiencies. This minimum percentage was included in Community Improvement Plans that were prepared to take advantage of Provincial funding programs such as ONIP and PRIDE but is no longer a prerequisite. The improvements to municipal properties that were undertaken under the CBD PRIDE Plan resulted in some private property owners upgrading their properties. Recently, the façade loan programs in the Central Business District Renaissance Community Improvement Plan and the Simcoe Street South Renaissance Community Improvement Plan have had success in fostering private sector improvements to existing buildings. It is anticipated that the grant and loan programs contained in this Community Improvement Plan will result in additional private sector investment in this area of the City. 3.3 Potential Solutions The Downtown Shoulder Area has an important land use relationship with the Central Business District. The Central Business District is planned to function as the dominant Central Area in Durham Region. In order to support this concentration of retail, office and service uses, the Downtown Shoulder Area must have a sufficient population. The issue of encouraging residential redevelopment in the Downtown Shoulder Area is best accomplished through grant programs to make redevelopment opportunities in the Downtown Shoulder Area more attractive and financially viable. This is accomplished through development charge grants and building permit fee grants. These mechanisms are described in Section 5.0 of this Community Improvement Plan. Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Plan Page 12
16 4.0 Community Improvement Plan Budget 4.1 Funding Sources The City of Oshawa intends to fund the City of Oshawa Development Charge Grant Program through the increase in the municipal portion of the property taxes that result from the redevelopment. However, this does not preclude the use of other funding sources as they become available. The City will endeavor to utilize other sources of funding for the implementation of this program if such funding becomes available. The City of Oshawa will fund the City of Oshawa Building Permit Fee Grant Program through the existing Renaissance Community Improvement Plan Reserve. City Council will monitor the financial status of this reserve and consider contributions to it through the annual budget process. The City of Oshawa will fund the Places to Grow Grant Program through the new Places to Grow Reserve. The City will investigate funding sources for the implementation of this program when such funding becomes available.. Downtown Shoulder Area Renaissance Community Improvement Plan Page 13
