That with respect to Verbal Report C2022-1057, the following be adopted: That Council direct Administration to: Formalize the business case (or other future approach) review process as one that examines operating costs, capital costs, financial/environmental/social implications, and alignment with the Municipal Development Plan (MDP) in a criteria-based & city-wide contextual manner for any applications that are received for land use change within Area Structure Plans (ASPs) that had growth management overlays as of July 26, 2022; Ensure that reports for Council decision regarding business cases and/or ASP applications provide full transparency by including business modelling, tax and spending assessments, and any other relevant empirical information that is agreed upon between Administration and applicants; Ensure that business case and ASP reviews occur throughout the year when impacted applications are received, as opposed to a single intake cycle; Develop a process for proactively identifying and evaluating city-wide growth opportunities, including city-initiated landowner outreach and engagement, in order to: a) better leverage existing amenities and infrastructure, b) manage capital and operating costs, c) protect natural areas, d) achieve other benefits, and e) report back no later than 2023 September 30; Ensure that business case reviews and subsequent recommendations are presented to Council in an empirical manner for final decision; Bring any operating or capital cost requirements that emerge as a result of business case or ASP approvals to the annual budget planning cycle of Council; Explore bringing an omnibus motion to the Infrastructure and Planning Committee for removal of all growth management overlays (GMOs) as the administrative business case review process replaces the dated tool of GMOs no later than Q2 2023; Provide Council with a project scoping report that undertakes a comprehensive approach toward more directly attributing the taxes and user fees paid to cover expenditures by community - with a focus on outcomes, project scope, budget, and timelines - to be considered as part of the 2023-2026 budgetary discussions; and Bring a report to Council twice a year that summarizes the decisions and associated impacts as stated in the points above, once in spring as budget is planned and once in fall as budget is passed.
