Public Meeting

Land Acknowledgement

The City of Oshawa is situated on lands within the traditional and treaty territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Anishinaabeg and the signatories of the Williams Treaties, which include the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, Curve Lake, Hiawatha and Alderville First Nations, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island, Rama and Beausoleil First Nations.

We are grateful for the Anishinaabeg who have cared for the land and waters within this territory since time immemorial.

We recognize that Oshawa is steeped in rich Indigenous history and is now present day home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We express gratitude for this diverse group of Indigenous Peoples who continue to care for the land and shape and strengthen our community.

As a municipality, we are committed to understanding the truth of our shared history, acknowledging our role in addressing the negative impacts that colonization continues to have on Indigenous Peoples, developing reciprocal relationships, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation.

We are all Treaty people.

• Recommendation

  That the Economic and Development Services Committee recommend to City Council:

  Whereas on September 26, 2022, City Council considered Report DS-22-187 dated September 7, 2022 and approved, subject to conditions, an application submitted by Medallion Developments Inc. operating as Bruce Street Developments Ltd. (“Medallion”) under the Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan for an Increased Assessment Grant, to facilitate the development of a purpose-built rental apartment building including a 22 storey tower and a 10 storey tower connected by a 3 storey podium at 135 Bruce Street (Attachment 1); and,

  Whereas as a condition of receiving an Increased Assessment Grant, Medallion is required to enter into an Increased Assessment Grant agreement (the “Agreement”) with the City to ensure that certain performance criteria/conditions are met; and,
  Whereas, included among the original conditions of approval and identified in the draft Agreement is a condition requiring the foundation of the building to be completed by October 31, 2024 and another condition requiring the project to be completed and available for first occupancy by December 31, 2026; and,

  Whereas a further condition of approval listed in the draft Agreement identifies that if ownership of the property changes, in whole or in part, before the Increased Assessment Grant period lapses, then the subsequent owner is not entitled to future grant payments; and,
  Whereas, the Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan specifies under Section 1.4, “General Terms of Grant Program”, in Appendix 1: Increased Assessment Grant Program Procedures, that an Increased Assessment Grant cannot be assigned to another person/company; and,

  Whereas City staff have been working with Medallion over the past 18 months to finalize and sign the Agreement; and,

  Whereas through ongoing discussions between City staff and Medallion, Medallion has advised that they have concerns with two of the performance criteria/conditions listed in the draft Agreement, specifically related to the building foundation and project completion and occupancy deadlines, as well as the restriction on assigning the grant to another person/company; and,

  Whereas Medallion has advised that owing to market conditions and uncertainty, labour shortages and general construction delays, they will be unable to meet both the building foundation deadline and the project completion and occupancy deadline; and,

  Whereas Medallion has also advised that as is the case with many complex development projects and particularly purpose-built rental projects which often require more sophisticated financing models, Medallion may wish to undertake a corporate restructuring in the future, which would require an assignment of the Increased Assessment Grant; and,

  Whereas as a result of further discussions between City staff, including Legal Services, and Medallion, staff would be agreeable to amending the draft Agreement to permit an assignment of the Increased Assessment Grant provided the project is completed and available for first occupancy; and,

  Whereas staff would also be agreeable to amending the building foundation and project completion and occupancy deadlines, understanding that this is a result of market uncertainty, construction delays and/or labour shortages;

  Therefore be it resolved that:

  1. The condition of approval related to building foundation completion for the application under the Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan for 135 Bruce Street be amended, such that now the building foundation shall be completed by September 30, 2026 to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official; and,
  2. The condition of approval related to building completion and occupancy for the application under the Urban Growth Centre Community Improvement Plan for 135 Bruce Street be amended, such that now the project shall be completed and available for first occupancy by December 31, 2028 to the satisfaction of the Chief Building Official; and,
  3. The Increased Assessment Grant agreement between the City and Medallion include a condition that permits the assignment of the Increased Assessment Grant to another person/company only after the project is completed and available for first occupancy, and that said agreement be in a form and content satisfactory to the Commissioner, Economic and Development Services Department, and the City Solicitor.

  Whereas a release of $40,000 is outstanding under the approved Economic Stimulus grant which contemplates provisions for an elevator to provide access to all floors at BondST Event Centre and although some provisions are in place to support the elevator
  it is not complete due to the need for additional financial support directed to the installation; and,

  Whereas City staff do not have the opportunity to release this funding under the Council endorsed terms of the C.I.P. due to the open building permit to fully complete this work; and,

  Whereas Sacco Schools Ltd. have submitted invoices to City staff detailing deposits and payments made regarding provisions for and the installation of the elevator to date which amount to approximately $94,250 in total invoices with approximately $59,700
  paid to date; and,

  Whereas Plan20Thirty – Action Plan for Continued Downtown Revitalization, includes the following actions to support accessible spaces in the downtown area:

  • Continue promoting and seeking opportunities to enhance accessible infrastructure
    to Downtown Businesses and through the public realm; and,
  • Focus on establishing a shoppable downtown that possesses diverse retail offerings,
    accessible locations, public washrooms and promotion of the area as a shopping
    district; and,

  Whereas the 2020-2023 Oshawa Strategic Plan includes:

  • Continue to strive to be a barrier-free community; and,

  Whereas it is expected that releasing the remaining $40,000 of approved funding to Sacco Schools Ltd. that has been directed towards the elevator at BondST Event Centre is anticipated to support completion of the elevator, establishing a fully accessible facility in downtown Oshawa;

  Therefore, be it resolved that, City staff be directed to release the remaining $40,000 as part of the Economic Stimulus grant under the C.I.P. to Sacco Schools Ltd.
