Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins
Page | 4
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
Community Improvement Plans (CIPs) are a planning and financing development tool available to municipalities in order to use, reuse and restore lands, buildings and infrastructure through the implementation of municipal incentive programs. As permitted by the Planning Act, the incentive programs can facilitate and encourage community change by stimulating private investment. CIPs target areas that are in transition or need of repair, rehabilitation or redevelopment. General strategies can include grants, loans, tax assistance programs and other incentive programs. CIPs are intended to encourage rehabilitation initiatives and/or stimulate development in a defined area or areas. In 2005, the City of Timmins began the process of creating the Downtown Community Improvement Plan. It realized the need to support the downtown cores as vital commercial and community areas intrinsic to the quality of life of the municipality. In 2007, Council approved the Downtown CIP as a proactive approach to ensure the vibrancy and sustainability of the downtown cores of Timmins, Schumacher and South Porcupine. Through various incentive programs, the Downtown CIP has been instrumental in promoting redevelopment. In 2019, as the plan has been in existence for twelve years, there was a desire on behalf of Timmins City Council to review the Downtown CIP and expand the boundary areas. This new Downtown CIP document shall replace the 2007 Downtown CIP.
1.2 PLAN JUSTIFICATION
Without improvements, the number of downtown vacancies is expected to increase. Vacant properties present lost tax revenue, lost residential and commercial space, under-utilized infrastructure and lost employment opportunities. Additionally, if businesses move away from the core commercial areas towards undeveloped Greenfield lands, there is additional pressure placed on the municipality to extend infrastructure and services. The intent of the Downtown CIP is not to create unnecessary limits on municipal assistance, but to provide programs and financial incentives to property owners and organizations within the designated downtown areas to stimulate private investment for property maintenance and redevelopment.
1.3 CONSULTATION AND RESEARCH
Planning staff researched, reviewed and contacted various municipalities regarding their respective downtown community improvement plans. The purpose of this research and review process was to secure a better idea of best practice approaches and plan details. In addition to the 2007 Downtown CIP, community improvement plans for Sudbury, Guelph, North Bay, Cornwall, Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie were reviewed and used as a basis for the development of this plan.

Consultation was also carried out with various stakeholders in order to gauge opinion and input for the proposed community improvement plan. These stakeholders include Downtown Timmins Business Improvement Area (BIA), the Venture Centre, Timmins Economic Development Corporation and the Timmins Chamber of Commerce. A draft plan of the proposed Downtown CIP was submitted to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for its review. While Ministry approval is not required, the Planning Act does require Ministry consultation. The Ministry provided its comments on June 29, 2020 and those comments were included within the document. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pubic was provided various opportunities to comment on the proposed Downtown CIP. These opportunities included: email, regular mail, verbal comments to staff, and calling in to the public meeting, which was held on June 15, 2020.
1.4 PLAN BENEFITS
The benefits of implementing the Downtown CIP include:
Create new jobs and attract additional investment to the City;
Promote the downtown cores as a place to work and live;
Improve the overall appearance of the main corridor through the City;
Provide a more efficient use of existing infrastructure, services and facilities;
Increase property values resulting in an increase in property tax revenues while protecting existing property values of neighbouring properties;
Redevelop vacant, derelict or underutilized lands; and
Preserve rural land and reduce urban sprawl by encouraging urban renewal efforts
2 LEGISLATIVE AND POLICY CONTEXT
2.1 PLANNING ACT
Section 28 of the Planning Act, “Community Improvement” allows municipalities that have enabling policies in their Official Plan the ability to prepare a community improvement plan (CIP) and designate a community improvement project area. Section 28.1 of the Planning Act defines Community Improvement as
the planning or replanning, design or redesign, resubdivision, clearance, development or redevelopment, construction, reconstruction and rehabilitation, improvement of energy efficiency, or any of them, of a community improvement project area, and the provision of such residential, commercial, industrial, public, recreational, institutional, religious, charitable or
Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins

other uses, buildings, structures, works, improvements or facilities, or spaces therefore, as may be appropriate or necessary.
Community improvement project area
means a municipality or an area within a municipality, the community improvement of which in the opinion of the council is desirable because of age, dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement, unsuitability of buildings or for any other environmental, societal or community economic development reason.
Through an implementing by-law, Council may designate the whole or any part of an area covered by the Official Plan as a CIP area. When a by-law designating a CIP area has been passed by Council, the City may:
i. Acquire land and hold land within the CIP area; ii. Clear, grade or otherwise prepare the land for community improvement;
iii. Construct, repair, rehabilitate or improve buildings on land acquired or held by it within the CIP area in conformity with the CIP, and lease, sell or otherwise dispose of any such buildings and the land appurtenant thereto;
iv. Sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any land acquired or held by it in the CIP area to any person or governmental authority for use in conformity with the CIP; and
v. Make grants or loans, in conformity with the CIP, to registered owners, assessed owners and tenants of lands and buildings with the CIP area, and to any person to whom such an owner or tenant has assigned the right to receive such a grant or loan, to pay for the whole or any part of the eligible costs of the CIP.
Once a CIP is adopted by a municipality and placed into effect, the municipality may offer incentives to encourage private sector investment as well as other actions to carry out community improvement. Plans may be prepared and adopted to:
i. Facilitate the renovation, repair, rehabilitation, remediation, redevelopment or other improvement of lands and/or buildings;
ii. Facilitate the development of mixed-use buildings, or the introduction of a wider mix of uses; iii. Facilitate the restoration, maintenance, improvement and protection of natural habitat, parks,
open space and recreational amenities; iv. Facilitate residential and other types of infill and intensification; v. Contribute to the ongoing viability and revitalization of downtown areas and other areas that
may require community improvement; vi. Improve environmental and energy consumption conditions;
vii. Promote cultural development; viii. Facilitate community economic development; and
ix. Improve community quality, safety and stability.

Section 28 (7) of the Planning Act permits municipalities to make grants or loans available to registered owners, assessed owners and tenants of lands and buildings within the community improvement project area, for the purpose of carrying out the community improvement plan. Section 28 (7.1) states that the eligible costs may include costs related to environmental assessment, environmental remediation, development, redevelopment, construction and reconstruction of lands and buildings for rehabilitation purposes or for the provision of energy efficient uses, buildings, structures, works improvements or facilities. Section 28(7.3) states that the total of the grants and loans made in respect of particular lands and buildings under subsections (7) and (7.2) and the tax assistance as defined in section 365.1 of the Municipal Act, 2001, in respect of the lands and buildings shall not exceed the eligible cost of the community improvement plan with respect to those lands and buildings. Section 28(11) permits the municipality to register an agreement concerning a grant or loan made under subsection (7) or an agreement entered into under subsection (10) against the land to which it applies and the municipality shall be entitled to enforce the provisions thereof against any party to the agreement and, subject to the provisions of the Registry Act and the Land Titles Act, against any and all subsequent owners or tenants of the land.
2.2 MUNICIPAL ACT
Section 106(1) and (2) of the Municipal Act, 2001 prohibits municipalities from directly or indirectly assisting any manufacturing business or other industrial or commercial enterprise through the granting of certain financial incentives. Known as bonuses, prohibitive actions include:
Giving or lending money or municipal property;
Guaranteeing borrowing;
Leasing or selling any municipal property at below fair market value; and
Giving a total or partial exemption from any levy, charge or fee. This prohibition is generally known as the “bonusing rule”. Section 106(3) of the Municipal Act, 2001, provides an exception to the bonusing rule for municipalities exercising powers under Section 28 of the Planning Act. It is the exception under Section 28 that allows municipalities with enabling provisions within their Official Plans to prepare and adopt community improvement plans (CIPs). CIPs provide municipalities with a comprehensive framework for the planning and provision of economic development incentives in area requiring community improvement.
2.3 PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT, 2020
The Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, provides policy direction on matters of provincial interest related to land use planning and development and sets the policy foundation for regulating the development and use of land. It also supports the provincial goal to enhance the quality of life for all Ontarians.

The Provincial Policy Statement 2020, Policy 1.0, Building Strong Healthy Communities states that efficient land use and development patterns support sustainability by promoting strong, liveable, healthy and resilient communities, protecting the environment and public health and safety, and facilitating, economic growth. The Downtown CIP works towards building a stronger community and is consistent with the following inter-related policies:
Policy 1.1.1 Healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by:
e) Promoting the integration of land use planning, growth management, transit supportive development, intensification and infrastructure planning to achieve cost-effective development patterns, optimization of transit investments, and standards to minimize land consumption and servicing costs.
Policy 1.1.3.3 Planning authorities shall identify appropriate locations and promote opportunities for transit supportive development, accommodating a significant supply and range of housing options through intensification and redevelopment where this can be accommodated taking into account existing building stock or areas, including brownfield sites, and the availability of suitable existing or planned infrastructure and public service facilities required to accommodate projected needs.
Policy 1.6.3 Before consideration is given to developing new infrastructure and public service facilities: a) The use of existing infrastructure and public service facilities should be
optimized; and b) Opportunities for adaptive re-use should be considered, wherever feasible.
Policy 1.7.1 Long-term economic prosperity should be supported by: a) Promoting opportunities for economic development and community
investment-readiness; d) Maintaining, and, where possible, enhancing the vitality and viability of
downtowns and main streets.
2.4 CITY OF TIMMINS OFFICIAL PLAN
The City of Timmins Official Plan came into force on August 10, 2010. The Official Plan’s vision seeks to “realize a strong, safe, and sustainable City”. Within the City’s Official Plan there are policies relating to Community Improvement (Section 4.12). The Downtown CIP will help to work towards realizing the City’s Official Plan’s vision and be consistent with its policies. The Community Improvement section of the Official Plan sets out provisions that enable council to designate by By-law a Community Improvement Project Area(s), the boundary of which may be part or all of the urban community within the City, for the purpose of preparing , adopting, and implementing a community improvement plan for urban community improvements. Such improvements include:
i. Buildings, building facades and/or property (including buildings, structures and lands of heritage and/or architectural significance) in need of preservation, restoration, repair, rehabilitation, energy efficiency or renewable energy improvements, or redevelopment.
Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins
Page | 9
ii. Vacant lots and underutilized properties and buildings having the potential for infill, redevelopment or expansion to better utilize the land base or public infrastructure.
iii. Deficiencies in physical infrastructure including but not limited to the sanitary sewer system, storm sewer system, and/or water main system, streetscapes and/or street lighting, municipal parking facilities, sidewalks, curbs, or road state of repair.
iv. A concentration of obsolete or aging low density land uses, vacant lots surface parking lots and/or abandoned buildings.
In part, the Official Plan states that community improvement plans may be prepared and adopted to:
i. Facilitate the renovation, repair, rehabilitation, remediation, redevelopment or other improvement of lands and/or buildings;
ii. Facilitate the development of mixed use buildings, or the introduction of a wider mix of uses; iii. Facilitate residential and other types of infill and intensification; iv. Contribute to the ongoing viability and revitalization of downtown areas and other areas that
may require community improvement; v. Facilitate and promote community economic development; and
vi. Improve community quality, safety and stability. The Official Plan states that all developments participating in programs and activities contained within CIPs shall conform to the policies contained within the Official Plan, applicable Community Design Plans, the Zoning By-Law, Property Standards By-laws and all other related City policies and by-laws. Lastly, the City shall be satisfied that its participation in community improvement activities will be within its financial capabilities.
2.5 CONSULTATION AND APPROVALS PROCESS
The Planning Act requires a public statutory meeting prior to passing a community improvement plan. Public notice was published on the Municipal Page in the local newspaper, on the City’s website, and in social media requesting public comment regarding the proposed Downtown CIP. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pubic was provided various opportunities to comment on the proposed Downtown CIP. These opportunities included: email, regular mail, verbal comments to staff, and calling in to the public meeting, which was held on June 15, 2020. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing provided comments on the proposed Downtown CIP to staff on June 29, 2020. While the Planning Act does not require Ministry approval, its comments were incorporated into the document. As required by Section 28(4) of the Planning Act, Council shall be required to approve two by-laws: one by-law designating the community improvement project area and a second by-law adopting the Downtown CIP. As a part of the two implementing by-laws, Council shall also rescind the two previous by-laws which had previously designated the community improvement project area and adopted the 2007 Downtown CIP.

3 COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AREA AND PLAN APPROACH
3.1 PROJECT AREA
The City of Timmins is a regional centre serving several small outlying communities in northeastern Ontario. It has a large physical area covering approximately 3,200 square kilometers as a result of the 1973 amalgamation of the Town of Timmins, Townships of Mountjoy, Tisdale and Whitney and unorganized townships and former communities. Timmins is partially located along the Mattagami River, a traditional aboriginal transportation route and fur-trading route in the 1600s. In 1907, when gold was discovered, prospectors and developers flocked to the region. In the 1960s, when base metals were discovered, the community boomed. Today the community’s economy is based on mining, forestry and it functions as a regional retail, commercial and service centre. Today the five pre-amalgamation communities (Timmins, Porcupine, South Porcupine, Mountjoy, and Schumacher) still exist informally. Two communities have retained their commercial downtown centres and comprise the two urban community improvement areas identified in this CIP: Downtown Timmins and Downtown South Porcupine. Additionally, there is a transition zone in Schumacher which includes both commercial and residential uses and is included the Downtown CIP area. Although the Downtown CIP has been in existence for twelve years, there is still a need to revitalize the downtown cores. There are many commercial properties within the CIP area which have building facades in need of improvement, are vacant or have underutilized buildings. There is the potential for infill, redevelopment, or expansion to better utilize the land and existing physical infrastructure. Timmins CIP Project Area The Timmins CIP project area is an urban and commercial area and is generally located within the boundaries indicated below:
Spruce Street from the south side of Fifth Avenue to the north side of First Avenue
Pine Street from the south side of Fifth Avenue to the north side of First Avenue
Second Avenue from Spruce Street to Birch Street
Third Avenue from Spruce Street to Mountjoy Street
Algonquin Blvd. from Mattagami Boulevard to McIntyre Road
Wilson Avenue from Mattagami Boulevard to Mountjoy Street
Elm Street and Maple Street between Algonquin Blvd. and Third Avenue, and
Birch Street, Balsam Street, and Cedar Street between Algonquin Blvd. and Second Avenue.
In the 2007 Downtown CIP, there was a one-block radius (approximately 70 metres) around the Downtown CIP area which was considered a secondary node area. This secondary node area is included within the Timmins CIP area in the new Downtown CIP project area and explains the extensions beyond the boundaries indicated above. The intent is not to reduce the boundary areas by eliminating the former secondary node, but rather include it within the Timmins CIP project area.
Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins
Page | 11
Please refer to Schedule “A” for the boundaries of the Timmins CIP project area west of Spruce Street and Schedule “B” for the boundary east of Spruce Street. Schumacher CIP Project Area Originally a secondary node area in the 2007 Downtown CIP, Schumacher’s project area can be viewed in Schedule “C”. The general physical description of the area is:
The block along Father Costello Drive and bound by Algonquin Boulevard East, and Battochio Street and Highway 101
Highway 101 from Battochio Street to Father Costello Drive’s western entrance Downtown South Porcupine CIP Project Area The South Porcupine CIP project area can be viewed in Schedule “D”. The general physical description of the area is indicated below:
Main Street from Shamrock Street to Golden Avenue
Crawford Street from Bloor Street to Golden Avenue
Bruce Street from Moore Street to Porcupine Lake
Golden Avenue from Moore Street to Crawford Street As with the Timmins CIP, there is a one-block radius (approximately 70 metres) which was considered the secondary node area in the previous Downtown CIP and is now included within the Downtown South Porcupine CIP project area. The CIP financial incentive programs will apply to the commercial and mixed use properties in the CIP project areas indicated above.
3.2 EXISTING LAND USES
With exceptions, City of Timmins Zoning By-Law 2011-7100 zones the Timmins CIP area from Spruce Street west to Mattagami Boulevard as General Commercial (EA-CG), and are typically characterized with street commercial development and upper storey residential uses. Properties east of Spruce Street to the eastern limit at McIntyre Road are typically zoned Highway Commercial (EA-CH) with predominantly commercial uses. Accessory residential uses are not permitted within the Highway Commercial (EA-CH) designation. The Downtown South Porcupine CIP area and the Schumacher CIP area are similarly zoned General Commercial (EA-CG) where commercial uses are the predominant main use and residential is a permitted subordinate use.
Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins
Page | 12
3.3 EXISTING SERVICES AND COMMUNITY FACILITIES
As the original commercial centres, the CIP areas have roads, sidewalks, water, sanitary, storm sewer, street lighting and other related municipal infrastructure as well as private utilities such as hydro, telephone, and gas. Much of the wiring and services are presently above ground and presents an unappealing view for residents and visitors. Where possible, the City will work with utilities and other service providers toward burying service wires to improve the appearance of the downtown core areas.
Timmins CIP Project Area The Timmins CIP project area has a large number of commercial/retail operations including restaurants, hotels, clothing stores, jewelers, hardware stores and other retailers offer services. Additionally, there are a large number of professional services including medical, legal, banking and financial services. There is also a senior’s residence located within the Timmins CIP area. Municipal services in the Timmins CIP area include a senior’s community centre, the Timmins Economic Development Corporation, District Social Services, Timmins Transit, a combined library, health, and social services building, and Municipal offices. Ontario Northland provides inter-city bus services out of the former train station.
South Porcupine CIP Project Area In addition to existing residential units and commercial operations, the downtown South Porcupine CIP project area includes an assisted seniors’ living facility, social housing, a post office, soccer fields, a legion hall, and an arena.
Schumacher CIP Project Area Schumacher is largely a residential community with some businesses along Father Costello Drive that back onto the main highway running through the City. Several parkettes boast sculptures depicting the mining heritage of Timmins. The well-known McIntyre arena and headframe are located in Schumacher as is the Timmins Chamber of Commerce and their Tourism Information Centre.
3.4 PLAN APPROACH
At the discretion of Timmins City Council through the Downtown CIP, the City of Timmins will offer a range of grant and rebate programs as incentives to revitalize the CIP areas. The Downtown CIP will operate yearly pending the allocation of annual budgetary funding provided by Council. The City may discontinue any of the programs at any time without amendment of the Downtown CIP, but applicants with approved grants and/or tax assistance will still receive said grant and/or tax assistance, subject to meeting the general and program specific requirements. CIP plan programs will only be available for businesses and building owners operating within a CIP area.
Downtown Community Improvement Plan – City of Timmins
Page | 13
In instances where the Downtown CIP and the Commercial and Industrial CIP program areas overlap, the site may be eligible for grant applications from each CIP where the grant types are different. For example, an applicant may be eligible for the Environmental Study Grant from the Commercial and Industrial CIP and the Building Improvement Grant from the Downtown CIP; however, an applicant cannot request a tax increment rebate or municipal fee rebate through both the Downtown CIP and the Commercial and Industrial CIP. All projects shall complete construction within one year of formal notification of approval under the program. If the proposed work cannot be completed within one year due to unforeseen circumstances, a written request shall be made by the applicant to the City requesting an extension explaining the reason for the request. Complete and eligible applications will be evaluated for approval by the City’s Community and Development Services Department. To simplify the grant application process, there will be one common grant application form for all grant programs. A grant application which is considered complete shall be reviewed and a decision rendered within ten business days of its receipt. As grant value and its approval may have a direct impact on whether a project may or may not occur, conditionally approved applicants will have one month from the time of conditional approval to obtain a building permit. An extension may be provided due to circumstances that result in a delay in the building permit issuance. Approved applicants shall be required to enter into a legal agreement with the City and shall include the City of Timmins as an additional insured and have $2 million liability insurance for the purposes of liability protection. Not all programs shall be immediately available. The following programs shall be deferred until 2021:
Parking Requirement Exemption Program
Public Art Grant; and
Sidewalk Patio Grant In order to eliminate the parking space requirement for upper storey residential units as indicated in the Parking Requirement Exemption Program, City of Timmins Zoning By-Law 2011-7100 shall require an amendment. Zoning By-Law 2011-7100 is currently under review. The Public Art Grant shall be implemented in 2021 once a review committee has been appointed by the City. The purpose of the committee will be approve any public art for which a grant application has been submitted. Lastly, the Sidewalk Patio Grant shall also be deferred until 2021 due to 2020 funding opportunities for outdoor patios provided by a corporate community partner.

5 PLAN MONITORING AND UPDATES
The purpose of the Monitoring Program is to monitor the performance and impact of the incentive programs and to utilize this information to make adjustments to the incentive programs in order to help ensure that the goals of the Downtown CIP are successfully accomplished. The Community Development Planner will evaluate the use and effectiveness of the CIP grant programs though a number of measures and indicators. Monitoring of the implementation of the CIP should seek to:
i. Provide an annual report to Council in December of each year documenting the nature and extent of projects for which applications are made under each program. This will include the number and type of applications or studies, the value of private sector investment leveraged and value of municipal investment leveraged.
ii. Receive and monitor feedback from applicants to the incentive programs so that adjustments can be made to the incentive programs, as required. The Community Development Planner shall send out evaluation forms annually to all applicants to seek feedback on the programs, program application processes, marketing materials and staff support for applicants.
iii. An annual staff report to Council should document funding by program and anticipated benefits including non-financial benefits to the community.
In Year five (5) of the program, a full review of the success of the CIP will be undertaken. Based on the review, staff will make recommendations to Council regarding the continuation, adjustment, amendment or discontinuance of part or the entire CIP at the end of the current plan period. The City may review and make minor adjustments to any of the terms of any of the programs prescribed in the Downtown CIP and their application to specific target areas, make minor modifications to the boundaries of the target areas without amendment to the Plan, provided that the general intent of the Plan is maintained. The City reserves the right to review any and all aspects of the Downtown CIP and make changes, including the purpose, form, method of application, evaluation and amount of funding in the Downtown CIP, from time to time, for any reason, and at the sole discretion of the City. As necessary,
