Subject: Scheduling of Council Meetings
As you know, Council meetings are currently scheduled every two weeks with the option of ineeting
every week if/when required. The current practice is to hold the closed session Committee of the
Whole meeting prior to the regular open session of Council. This can pose a challenge as, due to time
constraints, it can be difficult for Council to complete each of the closed session agenda items prior to
the scheduled start time of the open session meeting.
In order to address this challenge, Council may want to consider a new scheduling model. For instance, a
full closed session meeting could be scheduled on council's off weeks, thereby eliminating the need of
being on time for the regular open session meeting. Another suggestion would be for all regular open
session meetings to be consistently scheduled for a 7:00 p.m. start time. Council members may have
other suggestions/input.
Motion:That the regular open session Council meeting is consistently scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted,

Subject: Recommendation for Committee Review
Background:
Over the past few weeks a number of motions have come forward regarding the reporting,
accountability and composition of ABCs in the City of Saint John by myself and Councillors McAlary and
Merrithew. This type of continuous assessment is of paramount importance as we move to have more
effective, efficient and fiscally responsible management and oversight. Given that a full review of all
ABCs has been proposed, it seems appropriate that that Committee would not only review the Terms of
Reference for Individual ABCs but would also be well positioned to bring back recommendations for
elimination, combination and/or mandate changes.
Motion:That, as part of the overall review of ABCs,the final report from the Committee also include
recommendations for elimination,combination and/or change of mandate that would improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of our ABC structure.

Background:
A request for a letter of support has been received from the Saint lohn Hotel Association regarding a
request from the Association to the Province of New Brunswick calling for the establishment of a
boutique liquor store in the uptown area. The lack of access has been identified as an issue from a
tourism perspective and is believed, by those in the industry, to be an asset for our uptown. The
request for this type of outlet is also congruent with NB Liquor's plans for diversification of its operation.
Outlets such as the one being requested have been very successful in up/downtown locations including
Ha lifax.
Motion:That Council send a letter supporting the Saint John Hotel Association's bid for a boutique
liquor store in the uptown area.

SUBJECT: Proposed Chan�e to Market Place West Master Plan
BACKGROUND:
In 2010 a Master Plan was developed for Market Place West, the eight acre area of parkland
between the Lower West Side and the Port. Monies were allocated in the 2012 Capital Budget
for the first phase of the project which will concentrate on the area from the playground over to
Market Square. Originally the scope of work was to include reorientation and reconstruction of
the outdoor rink. This is an area used for ball hockey during the summer and as a natural ice rink
during the winter.
Since the decision was made to proceed with the first phase of the work there has been renewed
discussion about the project and it was proposed that a change be made to the plan—to
incorporate a splash pad into the design in lieu of the outdoor rink. The director of the Carleton
Community Centre has sought input from stakeholders such as Westside PACT and local area
residents at community e�-ents over the past few months and the response has been
overwhelmingly favourable. Based on the success and popularity of the splash pads opened at
Rainbow Park and Fleming Court, staff are in favour of making this change and feel that a splash
pad would fit very well with the community centre and adj acent playground.
ANALYSIS
Due to the limited budget available for this project it is unlikely that the splash pad can be fully
constructed this year. Design work done for this first phase can incorporate any necessary
servicing to this facility and sorne of the equipment can be purchased this year if within the
budget. The preliminary design stage of the project will identify more clearly what can be
accomplished with the available budgets.
92
M&C 2012-189
Proposed Change to Market Place West Master Plan
July 12,2012
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
This change to the Master Plan should not significantly affect the overall capital cost of this
development. The scope of work for 2012 will be adjusted to fit within the envelope of approved
money. There will be a slight increase in ongoing maintenance costs which staff estimate to be
in the range of$15,000 to $20,000 per year.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recominended that Common Council authorize a change to be made to the Market Place
West 2010 Master Plan to incorporate a splash pad into the design in lieu of the outdoor rink. .

SUBJECT: Capacity of the Fire Department to deal with dilapidated and derelict
building under the provisions of the Fire Prevention Act.
PURPOSE:
At its meeting of June l 8, 2012, Common Council requested a brief written report on the
Fire Department's capacity to deal with dilapidated and derelict buildings under the
provisions of the Fire Prevention Act. The purpose of this report is to respond to Common
Council's request.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Saint John has a number of enforcement tools at its disposal to address
dilapidated and derelict buildings. Each tool has a slightly different application. Buildings
and Inspection Services can employ sections of the Minimum Property Standards By-Law
or the Unsightly Premises & Dangerous Buildings By-Law to address issues with vacant,
derelict or dilapidated buildings. The Fire Department can employ sections of the Fire
Prevention Act, (specifically Section 12) when the subject dilapidated or derelict building
is considered a fire risk or could cause damage to property or injury to persons.
Both Buildings and Inspection Services and the Saint John Fire Department utilize a
collective and coordinated approach with respect to utilizing their respective
94
Report to Common Council Page 2
authority/tools as a means for addressing those buildings that are dilapidated, derelict
and/or dangerous.
ANALYSIS
Fire Prevention Act
The Fire Prevention Act (the "Act") is a Provincial Statute that seeks to promote and
enforce fire code regulations and fire safety. Municipal Fire Prevention Inspectors
appointed by the Fire Marshall under the Act are given many of the same authorities held
by the provincial Fire Marshal, including the ability to issue Fire Marshal Orders.
With respect to vacant and dilapidated buildings, the Fire Department is granted authority
under Section 12 of the Act to order the demolition or repair of any building deemed liable
to fire or a danger to persons or property. The subject section of the Act reads as follows.
12(1) When the fire marshal, the deputy fire marshal, a fire prevention officer or a local
assistant finds a building or other structure that, for want of proper repair or by reason of
age and dilapidated condition or for any cause, is especially liable to fire, or that is so
situated as to endanger other buildings or property, or so occupied that�re would endanger
persons or property therein or that exits from the building or buildings are inadequate or
improperly used, or that there are in ar upon any building or premises, combustible or
explosive material or conditions dangerous to the safety of persons, buildings or premises,
he may order the owner or occupant to
(a)remove or demolish such building or make such repairs or alterations as such
officer deems necessary;
(b)remove such combustible or explosive inaterial or remove or repair anything
that may constitute a fire hazard;
(c) install safeguards by way of fire extinguishers, fire alarms and other devices
and equipment and also such fire escapes and exit doors as such officer deems
necessary to afford ample exit facilities in the event of fire or an alarm of fire;
(d) carty out such drills and evacuation procedures as tbe fire marshal feels
necessary where the major concern is to save lives by an orderly evacuation of
persons at the time an emergency arises.
When addressing vacant and dilapidated buildings, Fire Marshal's Orders can be registered
against the property through Service New Brunswick. After the filing of an Order, the
subject property owner has three options available (dependant on what the order states),
which are as follows:
• Demolish the vacant and dilapidated building;
• Commence the process of repairing the dilapidated building so as to remove the fire
concerns addressed in the Fire Marshall Order; or
95
Report to Common Council Page 3
• Appeal the Order to the Office of the Fire Marshal.
Important to note:
In 2011 three dilapidated buildings were demolished as the result of a Fire Marshal's
Order, through voluntary compliance of the property owner and at no expense to the
municipality.
Employment of Section 12 —Fire Prevention Act
From a procedural perspective, the Fire Department employs Section 12 as follows:
• Initiate a property inspection which includes pictures, measurements to any
exposures and details about the property;
• Seek compliance to any outstanding fire code violations through the issuance of a
notice to the owner;
• Re-inspect the property within 30 days (or as agreed) for compliance;
• If voluntary compliance does not appear forthcoming, then staff prepare and serve a
Fire Marshal's Order with compliance date and information on how to appeal to the
Fire Marshal;
• Send copy of the Order to the Fire Marshal;
• Proceed to Service New Brunswick to have the Order registered against the
property;
• At the first opportunity after the compliance date, conduct a re-inspection;
• If there is still non-compliance, lay Information with the Provincial Court;
• The Crown prosecutes the offence and the Court may order a fine and an order to
comply with the Fire Marshall Order; and
• If the non-compliance continues, additional information may be laid with the
Provincial Court pertaining to the continued non-compliance.
Miti�ating Fire Risks Pertaining to Vacant Buildings
In addition to enfarcing Section 12 of the Fire Prevention Act, the Fire Department is
employing the following strategy to mitigate fire risks associated with vacant buildings:
• In cooperation with Buildings and Inspection Services, maintains a list of vacant
buildings;
• Routinely inspects vacant buildings deemed to be a high fire risk to ensure the
building is still secure;
96
Report to Common Council Page 4
• Cooperates with Buildings and Inspection Services to address priority vacant and
dilapidated buildings; and
• When fire crews find an unsecured vacant building, they notify Fire Prevention;
and Fire Prevention, in conjunction with Buildings and Technical Services, notify
the property owners to re-secure the building.
CONCLUSION
In summary, Section 12 of the Fire Prevention Act gives the Fire Department the authority
to issue Fire Marshal Orders to property owners to demand the repair or demolition of a
vacant and dilapidated building deemed liable to fire or a danger to persons or adjacent
property. However, Section 12 of the Act does not grant authority to demolish the subject
building. In those instances where voluntary compliance cannot be obtained, mandatory
compliance can be sought through existing municipal bylaws administered by the
Buildings and Inspection Services Division. The authority supporting the subject bylaws
resides with the Municipalities Act. The Municipalities Act enables cost recovery of the
demolition expense on behalf of the municipality.
It is clear that the separate authorities and joint efforts of Buildings and Inspection Services
and the Saint John Fire Department, serve to be an effective one - two combination in the
community's objective of reducing and ultimately eliminating dilapidated and derelict
buildings from the Saint John landscape.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that this report be received and filed.

Common Council of The City of Saint John
Your Worship and Councillors:
Re: Vacant and Derelict Buildings and
The Fire Prevention Act
At its meeting on June 18, 2012, Council resolved to "receive a brief
written report with regard to the Fire Department's capacity to deal with
dilapidated and derelict buildings under the provisions of the Fire
Prevention AcY'.
Discussions surrounding this issue have been ongoing for almost two
years, concurrently with those which took place between the City and the
Province pertaining to the authority which was eventually given to
municipalities under the Municipalities Act to demolish certain vacant and
other buildings and recover the cost of doing so from the Province.
We understand that the Fire Chief is submitting a report concurrently in
this respect, which addresses the operational perspective.
Under the Fire Prevention Act (the "Act"), the Lieutenant Governor in
Council may appoint a fire marshal for the proper carrying out of the
provisions of the Act (s. 2(1)). The fire marshall, in turn, may appoint fire
prevention officers, who must be qualified fire investigators, to assist him
in the proper carrying out of the provisions of the Act (ss. 2(2) and 2(3)).
The fire marshall may also appoint the chief or any other member of a fire
department as local assistant to assist him in carrying out the provisions of
the Act (s. 6).
It is our understanding that the fire marshal appointed a number of the
members of the Saint John Fire Department as fire prevention officers
and/or local assistants. Among them are the Fire Chief and those
members of the Fire Department currently working in the Fire Prevention
division of the department.
At section 4 of the Act, the fire marshal is given full power and authority to
enforce "all laws of the Province and all by-laws and regulations made
l�' -

thereunder relative to the suppression and prevention of fires, and the
safeguarding of people and property in the event of fires".
Section 11 of the Act provides that the fire marshal, the deputy fire
marshall, a fire prevention officer or a local assistant may, upon complaint
of a person interested or when they deem it necessary without such
complaint," inspect any building or premises withrn their jurrsdiction and for
this purpose, they may at all reasonable hours enter rnto and upon any
building or premises." If, therefore, a duly appointed Saint John fire
prevention officer or local assistant is of the opinion that a vacant or
derelict building poses a fire risk to people or property, said fire prevention
officer or local assistant has the authority to enter upon the premises to
inspect same.
Section 12 of the Act empowers the fire marshal or his appointees to issue
orders when they find, as a result of their inspection, that buildings or
structures, for want of proper repair or by reason of age and dilapidated
condition or for any cause, are especially liable to fire or that there are
conditions on a building or premises which are dangerous to the safety of
persons, buildings or premises. Subsection 12(1) reads as follows:
"12(1) When the fire marshal, the deputy fire marshal, a fire prevention
officer or a local assistant finds a building or other structure that, for want
of proper repair or by reason of age and dilapidated condition or for any
case, is especially liable to fire, or that is so situated as to endanger other
buildings or property, or so occupied that fire would endanger persons or
property therein or that exists from the building or buildings are
inadequate or improperly used, or that there are in or upon any building or
premises, combustible or explosive material or conditions dangerous to
the safety of persons, buildings or premises, he may order the owner or
occupant to
(a) remove or demolish such building or make such repairs or alterations
as such officer deems necessary;
(b) remove such combustible or explosive material or remove or repair
anything that may constitute a fire hazard;
(c) install safeguards by way of fire extinguishers, fire alarms and other
devices and equipment and also such fire escapes and exit doors as
such officer deems necessary to afford ample exit facilities in the
event of fire or an alarm of fire;
99
3 Common Council
August 1,2012
(d) carry out such drills and evacuation procedures as the fire marshal
feels necessary where the major concern is to save lives by an orderly
evacuation of persons at the time an emergency arises."
Subsection 12(2) also gives the fire marshall and duly appointed fire
prevention officers or local assistants, the authority to order the person or
organization supplying electrical energy to discontinue supplying such
energy to a building which, in the opinion of the fire marshall, a duly
appointed fire prevention officer or a local assistant, contains electrical
installation, apparatus or equipment which is in a condition to be
especially likely to cause fire and to be dangerous to the safety of persons
or property. In other words, the Saint John fire prevention officers and
local assistants have the authority to order Saint John Energy to stop
providing electricity to a vacant or derelict building, which in their opinion,
contains electrical equipment likely to cause fire and danger to persons or
property. Upon receipt of such an order, Saint John Energy is obligated,
pursuant to subsection 12(3) of the Act, to "forthwith discontinue supplying
electricity to such building" until the order is rescinded by the fire
prevention officer or local assistant who made it.
Any order made pursuant to the authority given at s. 12 of the Act must be
served on the person named in the order (i.e. the occupant or the owner of
the building or premises) by a fire prevention officer or a local assistant
either by leaving a copy with the person or by sending a copy to said
person by registered or certified mail (s. 13}.
Any order made pursuant to the authority given at s. 12 may be registered
against the lands affected by the order. This has proven to be a useful
tool in getting compliance from those owners wishing to sell their derelict
buildings, without addressing the fire marshall's concerns.
An order issued by a fire prevention officer or local assistant may be
appealed to the fire marshal within ten days. The fire marshall must then
forthwith consider the order and affirm, modify, alter or revoke same and
cause a copy of his decision to be served upon the party appealing (s. 15).
Any decision of the fire marshal may be reviewed by a Judge of Court of
Queen's Bench provided the person affected by the decision petitions the
Court within 5 days after service upon him of the fire marshall's decision
(s. 20).
100
4 Common Council
August 1,2012
Section 16 of the Act also authorizes the fire marshal or his appointee to
order that the public not be admitted in "any place of assembly" in which
he found fire hazards dangerous to the safety of persons. A place of
assembly is defined as "includrng a building or structure or portion thereof
used or intended to be used to accommodate fifty or more persons at the
same time for the purpose of ineetings, entertainment, instructron,
worship, recreation, drill, or the viewing or purchasing of goods".
Interestingly, section 21 of the Act empowers the fire marshal or his
appointees to carry out their orders onlv where the owner of the building or
premises in respect of which such order is made is absent from the
Province or cannot be found within the Province; and only if the order
involves the expenditure of no more than five thousand dollars. In the
event that the fire marshal does exercise this authority, subsection 21(2)
provides that a certificate evidencing those expenses necessarily incurred
by the fire marshal in carrying out his order shall be delivered to the
treasurer of the municipality in which the building is situate, and the
treasurer shall pay the amount so certified from the general operating
revenue of the municipality. This is of course not financially favorable to
the municipality, and it is our understanding that the authority given at s.
21 has never been used by the Saint John fire prevention officers and
local assistants.
Section 24 of the Act makes it an offence for any owner or occupant of a
building not to comply with an order of the fire marshal or one of his
appointees. Where a person is convicted of an offence, subsection 24(2)
is clear that the court, in addition to any penalty imposed, "shall order that
person to comply with the order".
A person who violates an order of the fire marshal or one of his
appointees made pursuant to the authority given under the Act is liable to
a minimum fine of $240.00 and maximum fine of $5,120.00 (a category F
offence under the Provincial Offences Procedure Act). Once a person has
been convicted of the offence (of not complying with the fire marshal's
order), if said person also fails to comply with the order of the court (to
comply with the fire marshal's order) then said person, if convicted, may
be fined for each day during which the offence continues up to and
including the above-noted maximum fine for each of those days.
There are no provisions in the Act which empowers the fire marshal or one
of his appointees to cause a building to be demolished. The fire marshal's
authority in this respect is limited to orderinq that the building be
demolished. If an owner does not comply with his Order, the fire marshal
101
5 Common Council
August 1,2012
may only cause said owner to be prosecuted in Provincial Court. If found
guilty, the owner will be fined and ordered to comply with the fire marshal's
Order. If the owner fails to comply with the Court's Order, the owner, if
found guilty, may be liable to a fine for each day during which the offence
continues.
As the Act is a Provincial piece of legislation, any prosecution of offences
thereunder are handled by the Provincial Crown Prosecutor's Office. The
City has no control over the prosecutions.
That being said, the Municipalities Act at section 7 provides that a
municipality may provide any of the services contained in the first
schedule. The second item listed in the first schedule is "fire protection".
Section 7 also provides that where a municipality provides any of the
services under the Act, it may make by-laws with respect to those
services.
In addition to this, at section 109 of the Municipalities Act, it is stated that a
Council may make by-laws "for the purposes of preventing and
extinguishing fires and protecting property from fire". Then it goes on to
list a number of items which could be regulated through such a by-law,
one of which is the "pulling down or demolition of buildings or other
erections to prevent the spread of a fire".
Subsection 109(2.1) prescribes the amount of the fines which may be
imposed for the violation of such a by-law. Said fines vary between $240
and $2,620 (a category E offence under the Provincial Offences
Procedure Act). To put this in perspective, the maximum fine which can
be imposed for the violation of a by-law is $2,500 less than the maximum
fine which can be imposed for an offence committed under the Act (such
as the violation of an Order of a fire prevention officer or local assistant
issued under the Act).
Council has not enacted a fire protection by-law. This department has,
however, been working with the Fire Department to develop such a by-
law.
One advantage of having a fire protection by-law is that the City would
control the prosecutions thereunder.

A quick research revealed that Moncton and Fredericton have fire
protection by-laws in place.

Your Worship and Councillors:
Re: By-Law Respecting Unsecured Refuse on Properties
At its meeting held on November 29, 2010, Common Council resolved
"that staff prepare a by-law, or other mechanism, that would require a
property owner to reimburse the City for expenses incurred in relation to
an emergency response resulting from unsecured refuse on his or her
property."
In a separate report, submitted concurrently, aimed at describing what
authority is available under the Fire Prevention Act to deal with dilapidated
and derelict buildings, I advised Council that authority was given to
municipalities in New Brunswick at sections 7 and 109 of the
Municipalities Act to make by-laws "for the purpose of preventing and
extinguishing fires and protectinq property from fire". More specifically,
subsection 109(1) gives authority to municipalities to make by-laws
"requiring buildings and yards to be kept in a safe condition and to guard
against fire or other danger".
We are of the opinion that the above-mentioned authority may be used to
regulate, through a fire protection by-law, the placing of refuse or other
things which may pose a fire risk or other danger to persons or property.
Pursuant to the authority given at section 109, an owner violating the
relevant provision of such a by-law could then be prosecuted in Provincial
Court and be liable, upon conviction, to a fine not exceeding $2,620.00 (a
Category E offense under the Provincial Offenses Procedure Act).
Such fines, once they are paid into court, are eventually returned to the
municipality.

SUBJECT
Saint John Taxicab By-law Amendment
BACKGROUND
On December 5, 2011, Common Council passed a number of resolutions, all with
a view to overhauling the current Saint John Taxicab By-law (relevant meeting
minutes are attached). The new Taxicab By-law, which is currently being drafted,
will include such provisions as a maximum age for vehicles and driver training,
and will require that meters be installed in all taxis to achieve greater consistency
and fairness in the rates charged.
The Taxicab Advisory Committee ("the Advisory Committee"), which consists of
three citizens, one taxicab driver and one taxicab owner, has been tasked by
Common Council with studying the technical and inspection requirements of the
meters to be used, and researching the curriculum and implementation of a driver
training program. Once this work is complete, the Advisory Committee will
make a recommendation to Common Council on these issues and if approved, the
recommendations will be incorporated into the new Taxicab By-law.
The taxicab driver and taxicab owner that are currently members of the Advisory
Committee are interested in continuing to serve on the Committee. They have,
however, served for two consecutive terms and have been key participants in the
By-law review process. Section 23(4) of the current Taxicab By-law does not
allow a committee member to serve more than two consecutive terms.
In the interest of maintaining continuity in the By-law review process, the
Taxicab By-law Review Committee recommends that section 23(4) of the By-law
be repealed so that the important work of the Advisory Committee can continue
without delay with the key participants identified above being eligible to continue
to serve. This continuity in membership is a key piece to completing the work
106
M&C2012—202 -2- August 2,2012
that is required to move this important reform process forward. If approved, it is
anticipated that the extended term for these two members will be in place until
such time that the new TaXicab By-law is enacted.
Under cover of separate correspondence from the City Solicitor, Common
Council will find appropriate language for the amendment that will give effect to
the recommendation set out in this report.
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that Common Council give first and second
reading to the amendment to the Saint John Taxicab By-law that is attached to the
City Solicitor's report dated August 1, 20l 2.

SUBJECT
Adding Topsoil and Grass Seed to Vacant lots after a Dangerous Building has been
Demolished by the City
BACKGROUND
At the meeting of July 3, 2012, Common Council directed the City Manager to
investigate the possibility of requiring demolition contracts issued pursuant to actions
taken under section 190 of the Municipalities Act to include a clause that the newly
vacant lots be finished with topsoil and grass seed.
Currently, once Council passes a resolution directing staff to proceed with demolition of
a building or structure that does not meet the Unsightly Premises and Dangerous
Buildings and Structures By-law, Staff, guided by the Policy for the Procurement of
Goods, Services and Construction, requests competitive bids for the demolition and
cleanup of the site. The demolition contracts require that the property is graded so it is
reasonably level and the top 12 inches are covered with 3/4 inch minus pit run gravel. The
Saint John Building By-law requires that demolition sites be covered with 12 inches of
clean fill.
Typically, the demolition is completed within four weeks of the Council meeting, after
which point the property owner is invoiced for the work completed. If the owner fails to
pay the invoice, a request is made to the Province to reimburse the City and add the
outstanding amount to the property tax bill.
ANALYSIS
While a property that is finished with topsoil and grass is more aesthetically pleasing to a
neighbourhood if maintained, there are some issues that Council will want to consider
before putting such a policy in place:
111
M&C2012- 151 -2- June 19,2012
Costs
The cost to include landscaping wark and whether or not the additional costs will be
considered a "qualifying remedial cost" for reimbursement from the Province must be
considered.
Staff contacted local landscaping companies for square foot costs for the materials and
labour for topsoil and hydro-seed for a vacant lot (assuming a flat, level lot ready for
topsoil). The figures are to be used only for budgeting purposes, and may fluctuate given
various actual site conditions. The average cost is $7.47 per square yard. To put this
figure in perspective, two of the recent Victoria Street demolitions were on 780 square
yard lots, therefore the landscaping cost would have been $5,827 for each property.
Another property on Victoria Street that was recently demolished is 1,444 square yards,
therefore the landscaping cost would have been $10,787. The Charlotte Street building
that was demolished in April would have resulted in landscaping costs of$4,318. For the
purposes of this discussion, an average landscaping cost of $6,700 per demolition site
will be used.
The Province of New Brunswick issued a memo to all municipalities in December 201]
about the reimbursement program under section 190 of the Municipalities Act, wherein
qualifying remedial costs were defined as the costs associated with the cleanup or repair
of premises (in the case of an unsightly premises) and the repair or demolition of
buildings or structures (in the case of a dangerous building ar structure). It also indicated
that external expenses associated with the preparation of legal documents and filing fees
would also be applicable for reimbursement. Staff contacted the Province of New
Brunswick to inquire if landscaping costs would be considered a qualifying remedial
cost. Staff was advised that landscaping costs would not be considered a qualifying cost,
as it is considered beautification of the property, as opposed to a cost incurred to
remediate a hazard to public safety.
Under the Dangerous Buildings Program, the service level target is eight cases resolved
each year. If it is assumed that the City will undertake the demolition of all eight
buildings, at an average of $6,700 for landscaping costs, the annual cost would be
$53,600 and would not be reimbursed by the Province. This is not an expense that has
been budgeted for in the operating budget. If Council was interested in pursuing this, an
appropriate amount would have to be included in the 2013 operating budget. Having said
this, it is Staff's view that any additional funds for the Dangerous Buildings Program
would be better spent in additional human resources, which would result in an improved
service level target, and more buildings being addressed annually.
Neighbourhood Aesthetics
There is no question that a maintained lawn is aesthetically pleasing in a neighbourhood
and looks better than a partially graveled lot. The question of lawn maintenance for these
vacant properties must be considered. The City has no authority to enter upon private
property for the purpose of maintaining a lawn, nor does it have the human resources to
add this additional workload to its lawn mowing responsibilities. In most cases, it is
unlikely that the property owners would mow and maintain the new lawn, given these are
112
M&C2012- 151 -3 - June19,2012
typically abandoned properties. It is possible that neighbours might take it upon
themselves to mow the grass; however, in some areas of the City, surrounding properties
are typically apartment buildings, where the occupants are tenants and are not responsible
for the yard maintenance and would not have access to a lawn mower.
A maintained lawn may discourage people from dumping discarded items on a vacant lot,
such as furniture and appliances. A lawn that is not maintained and has long grass and
weeds may attract illegal dumping and may hide from plain view the items that have been
dumped. Illegally dumped items on a vacant graveled lot would be easily seen and may
in fact discourage the illegal activity. That being said, a vacant graveled lot tends to
invite the parking of neighbourhood vehicles which may relieve a parking challenge
during winter parking bans,but is in most cases contrary to the Zoning By-law.
Another issue that should be considered is the threat that an overgrown lawn may pose in
a densely populated neighbourhood in the case of careless grass fires. While an
overgrown lawn is not considered a fire hazard, dry long grass and weeds, if intentionally
ar unintentionally set on fire, may pose a threat especially to an immediately adjacent
building.
Given the financial implications of implementing this program and the lilcely result that
the landscaped lots would not be adequately maintained, Staff recommends that adding
topsoil and grass seed to vacant lots after a building has been demolished by the City
should not be pursued at this time.
RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends that this report be received and filed.

Your Worship and Members of Council:
SUBJECT: The 2012 Heritage Grant Program
BACKGROUND
On February 1 St 2012, Common Council adopted the City's 2012 Operating Budget which
included fee increases for heritage applications and a reduced funding level for the Heritage
Grants program. The 2012 Qperating Budget reduced the available grant funding from $200,000
to $100,000. Council sought the advice of staff and the Herita.ge Board an the implementation of
these reforms and on March 12, 2012 held the required public hearing to consider the proposed
fee increases.
In response to feedback received at the public hearing objecting to the impact of the fees on
smaller heritage maintenance projects, Council opted not to move forward with the heritage fee
increase. Council fiuther decided to absorb the shortfall in anticipated revenue through a further
$10,000 reduction in fihe heritage grant program. This means that there is now only$90,000
available for the heriiage grant progrann in 2012.
The City of Saint John administers three different grant programs in Heritage as follows:
1. Heritage Maintenance Grants: Small scale grants of 20% of eligible costs, up to a
maximum of$1,000 per year, are provided for routine maintenance or improvements
such as painting, repairs, and storefront signage. In 201 l, 44 °/a of the total applications
processed under the program were maintenance grants accounting for about 11% of the
total grants budget.
2. Heritage Conservation Grants: Heritage conservation grants are provided which target
support for larger conservation projects which have a conservation plan in place (see `3'
�-
114
M& C2012-204
August 3, 2012
Page 2
below}. In 2011,these applications represented about 44% of the total applications and
accounted for 83% for the total grants budget.
Thcsc grants providc funding at 20 to 40% of eligible costs,up to $10,000 {the 40%
funding ratio covers masonry and other structural work, as well as repairs to original
windows and doors).
3. Heritage Conser�vcation Plan Grants: Crrants are provided to offsct the costs of retaining a
design professional to develop a Conservation Plan for designated heritage properties.
Conservation Plans are undertaken by a design professional (architect or engineer) and
provide guidance on how best to conserve a building by identifying and prioritizing
rcq�rired herita.ge conservation work. Costs of having these plans prepared are funded at
50 %, up to an established maximurn depending on the size and complexity af the
building. In 201 l,these represented about 12% of the total number of applications and
6% of�he grant funding.
�or the past number of years, the annual grant budget of$204,000 has not been sufficient to fund
all rcquests for grant funding. The total �rant envelope has becn allocated on a first-come-first-
served basis, with funding usually fully committed by latc summer/early fall.
At the March 26, 2012 meeting of Common Council, concern vvas expressed respecting the stafi
recommendation to focus the significantly reduced grant funding on the more significant
conservation projects. Council expressed a desire to maintain some grant funding for the small
heritage maintenance projects. The following resolution was adopted:
"RESOL VED that the proposed 2012 Operating I3udget Heritage Gt�ant Reforms be
referred to the City Manager for a revised recommendation to incluc�e heritage
maintenance grants. "
On Apri123, 2012, Common Council received correspondence fro�rr� the Heritage Development
Board recommendin.g that all of the grant programs be maintained but that the maximum ceilings
for grant funding be reduced to $S,OOQ for Heritage Conservation Grants and $500 for He�itage
Maintenance Grants. Council referred the correspondence from the Heritage Developrttent
Board to thc City Manager for a report and recommendation.
DISCUSSION
Based on the discussions held at Common Council in the spring and the conversations at the
Heritage Development Board (HDB),there appears to be a desire to maintain the three grant
programs despite there now being less than half of the funding that has been available annually
in recent years. To implement tl�e will of Council and the HDB,the only way to achicve this is
to reduce the amount of money provided to each grant recipient. Even with the $200,00�
envelope provided in years prior to 2012, grant funding has only been available on a first-come—
first-served basis as the envelope is not sufficient to provide money to all eligible property
115
M & C2012-204
August 3, 2012
Page 3
owners. As of 3uly 11, 2012,total requests for grant funding in all programs total $196,660
based on the existing criteria. As discussed previously, there is now only $90,000 in grant
funding available resulting in the need to make major changes to the funding caps and funding
ratios.
The following table provides the approach advocated by Council and the HDB and the resulting
scale and scope of the grant program for 2012.

Under the criteria proposed by the Heritage Development Board,the total value o�requests year
to date {to the end of July) totals $105,625. It is clear that program funding will not be adequate
to provide grant funding to all applicants. It is presumed that Common Council wants to
continue with the practice of providing grant funding on a first-come-first-served basis so those
who apply in the last half of 2012 will Iikely not receive any gra.nt funding.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
There are f nancial implications for grant recipients as a result of the grant policy adopted by
Corrunon Council but the City's expenditure is capped at $90,000 for 2012.
RECOMMENDATION
Given the direction previously provided by Common Council, it wauld be appropriate for the
following resolutions to be adopted:
1. That the Heritagc Grants Policy incorporate the following revisions to the Heritage Grants
program:
a. The maxirnum futzding for preparalion of a Conservation Plan by a design
professional be set at$1,000 at a funding ratio of 50%;

c. 'T'hat thc maximum Heritage Maintenance Crrant be set at$500 at a funding ratio of

Your Worship and Members of Common Council:
SUBJECT: Strategic Framework: Public Engagement Strategy
PURPOSE
On July 18, 2012, Common Council endorsed a strategic framework for the 2013 service-based
budget process, which included the Council priority setting and core service review. The City
currently delivers over forty different publio-facing services with various programs and activities
and in arder to understand community expectations for services and service levels, it is being
proposed that these initiatives be informed through a public engagement stra�egy. This will
provide citizens with a range of opportunities to participate in and inform the public discussion
around service priorities for the City of Saint John. The public engagement strategy is intended
to support and encourage Saint John residents and property owners to:
a. Share their service priorities for the community,
b. Provide their input on what they think are core services, and
c. Provide their input on what they want the City to consider when making decisions about
service delivery.
In order to ensure meaningful participation by a wide range of community members, the
recommended public engagement strategy is a holistic approach that builds on the highly
successful community engagement strategies that were completed for PIanSJ(2011) the creation
of a new Municipal Plan, and Vision 201 S for the creation of a new long-term vision and goals
for the City of Saint John. The proposed public engagement strategy will therefore not only
consult citizens, but more importantly, it will engage citizens in a real discussion around these
important issues by using a variety of techniques to reach a broad cross-section of Saint John
residents. Staff therefore recommends that Council endorse the public engagement strategy
comprised of the following six components:
1. Advertising and Communications 4. Community Outreach Package
2. Community Conversation Workshops 5. Community Open House
3. E-Consultation 6. Common Council Meeting
123
M&C Strategic Framework-Public Engagement Page 2
OBJECTIVES OF THE CITY'S ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM
The City of Saint John, like many other Canadian municipalities, is facing significant budget
challenges in delivering services that continue to meet public expectations. The annual service-
based budget process has broad community impact, many stakeholders and competing priorities.
As a result, a comprehensive public engagement process is recommended to inform decisions
that will result in more efficient delivery of municipal services that distinguish between
community wants and needs. Public engagement will be designed to inform three key objectives:
1. Council's Priority Setting
2. Core Service Review
3. Service-based Budget Process
The need for a strategy that will successfully solicit quality input from a broad cross-section of
the Saint John community is critical to the success of the integrated strategic framework, as the
information collected during the public engagement process is intended to inform all three
objectives.
RECOMMENDED PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COMPONENTS
The recommended public engagement strategy is comprised of six key components. This range
of components will ensure there are multiple opportunities for Saint Johners to provide their
input on the complex issues of service delivery and service priorities. The six proposed
components of the public engagement strategy are described below and a breakdown of the costs
associated with each is provided in Table 1 at the end of this section.
1. Advertising & Communications:
Communicating information is fundamental to conducting effective public engagement
programs because the success of a public engagement strategy is reliant on participation
from a diverse representation of the community. Regardless of the components to a
public engagement strategy, advertising the process using a variety of inedia is critical as
citizens need to understand what it is they are being asked to engage in and how and
where they can become involved in such opportunities.
In order to ensure Saint Johners are well informed of this process, the following
communications tools are being recommended to kick-off the public engagement process.
Each of the following communication tools will be released in a coordinated manner to
ensure they support and build awareness of the proposed engagement strategy. A
proposed schedule is provided on page 6 of this report:
i. Insight or Postcard Mail-Out: The City's Insight publication provides citizens
with information about City services, policies and initiatives. The next issue of
Insight may be mailed to all households and businesses in the City the first week
of September and staff are recommending that the plan for the public engagement
strategy be included. At approximately $0.60/copy, Insight is a cost-effective way
to touch-base with Saint Johners about City issues that are important to them.
124
M&C Strategic Framework-Public Engagement Page 3
The public engagement plan will include an outline of engagement opportunities,
key dates and locations for the planned community engagement events, and will
also provide information on this integrated, strategic approach to the 2013
service-based budget process. An alternative to Insight is to utilize a postcard to
be mailed to every household and business in Saint John, as was done throughout
the PIanSJ process.
ii. City's Website: A page on the City's website will be launched at the same time
as the mailout is delivered to al] residents. The page will be dedicated to the
public engagement process and will provide background information, information
on the engagement opportunities, and the key milestones in the process going
forward. Most importantly it will host the e-consultation component of the
recommended strategy (component number 3). The website will also provide
information on City services and progress on the integrated, strategic approach to
the 2013 service-based budget process.
iii. Radio and Print Advertising: This will be used to more widely notify the public
about the locations and dates of engagement opportunities and communicate the
importance of participation in the process.
iv. Networking & Social Media: Members of Council, staff and the community
should encourage others to participate in planned engagement activities through
their social media tools and networks. Councillors are encouraged to announce the
engagement events at Council meetings and through their own personal and
professional networks.
2. Community Conversation Workshops:
Led by an external facilitator and supported by City staff, four Community Conversation
Workshops are being proposed to tal�e place in September(one in each respective Ward).
These will be interactive community workshops intended to give citizens an opportunity
to interact with one another, staff and Council and learn about City services so they can
provide meaningful feedback. All members of Council are encouraged to attend all
workshops to gain a full understanding of wants and needs across the City to inform
balanced decision-making.
Each Workshop will begin with an introduction to the process of Core Service review
with the intent to educate and inform residents of what this review is all about, why it is
being undertaken, and what the ultimate objective is. Building on this information,
participants will then be invited to share their thoughts through a facilitated discussion
around service levels and options for consideration as part of the service-based budget.
It is important that citizens feel they are a part of this process and to enable them to work
together as a community. The community conversation workshop format will allow
citizens to work together in groups to generate input, share knowledge and encourage
innovative thinking. This format enables participants to explore actions around real life
issues and questions. Face to face workshops also enable those with barriers to
technology, literacy or written language to participate in the process. To ensure the
125
M&C Strategic Framework-Public Engagement Page 4
opportunity to participate is made available to all Saint Johners, staff are proposing that
ALS Interpretation services are provided and each venue that is chosen is fully accessible
to all transportation modes and for those with physical disabilities.
3. E-Consultation:
Online engagement is primarily used to support and strengthen face-to-face approaches
to public engagement, such as the Community Conversation Workshops. As part of the
recommended public engagement strategy, the e-consultation component will be used to:
i. Communicate with and encourage citizens to participate in public engagement
activities;
ii. Educate citizens on the City's service offerings and budget allocations;
iii. Distribute information materials that will used as part of the public consultation
activities; and
iv. Share engagement results.
A central element to the e-consultation component will be the release of a Feedback Form
that will inform priority setting, core service assessment, and development of options for
service delivery. Specifically, the Feedback Form will ask residents to share their service
priorities for the community and provide their feedback on what they think are core
services and what they want the City to consider when making decisions about service
delivery.
Social media may also be used to provide information on the integrated, strategic
framework for the 2013 service-based budget. Managing a social media campaign is
labour intensive and would need to be used for a limited scope of work. Councillors are
encouraged to use their own social media networks to gather information and inform
citizens throughout this process.
4. Community Outreach:
Information kits will be produced for use by organizations, individuals and Councillors to
support small group discussions. To ensure consistency, the content will be the same as
the online Feedback Form and the materials provided at the Community Conversation
Workshops. This activity would be voluntary; however, depending on the number of
community-based organizations requesting the use of this component, City staff may be
available to help facilitate the discussions and support those interested in working
through the materials.
The annual Citizen Survey will also help support this integrated approach to community
engagement and will provide statistically valid results related to expectations for service
and service delivery.
126
M&C Strategic Framework-Public Engagement Page 5
5. Community Open-House:
A Community-wide Open House is proposed to be held in November to provide Council
an opportunity to report back to the community and present the results of what they have
heard throughout the September engagement process. This component may require some
degree of advertising. However, this component is a key part of ensuring residents know
they have been heard and they understand what the consensus is after all of the feedback
has been gathered. It is anticipated the session would be facilitated by an external service
provider in a central location.
6. Common Council Meeting:
A Council meeting is recommended at the end of this engagement process to specifically
hear from the public on the budget process. Citizens wanting to address Council in
person will be able pre-register a presentation time by contacting the Clerk's Office, or
register the night of the event. A draft budget will be made available to the public prior to
this meeting. Citizens will be allowed to provide comments to Council on what they like
or would like to see changed in relation to the draft budget.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
In order for public engagement to be effective, meaningful, and involve a representative sample
of the community, the strategy needs to be adequately resourced. Taken together, the proposed
six public engagement components are estimated to cost between $25,000 and $30,000. Should
Council choose to exclude some of the proposed events, the costs will be less. The funds for the
proposed public engagement strategy are available within the Strategic Services budget. As per
the Municipalities Act, all materials presented to the public must also be translated, funds for
which are also available within the Strategic Services budget.
ALTERNATIVES
The proposed public engagement strategy is an integrated approach that will provide the City
with meaningful feedback. However, should there be a desire to reduce the number of
engagement components, staff recommend removing proposed item number 5, the Community
Open House. A more cost-effective alternative to hosting this would be to have staff report the
results of the communiry feedback directly to Council at a televised Council meeting. This would
ensure the results of the fall engagement program will still be made available to the community
and the community will still be able to provide their feedback to staff and Council at the final
proposed event, item number 6.
128
M&C Strategic Framework-Public Engagement Page 7
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Common Council endorse the proposed public engagement strategy to
support informed decision making related to 2013 service-based budget process inclusive of the
Council priority setting and core service review.

SUBJECT: Strategic Framework- Citizen Survey
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to recommend to direct engage Ipsos Reid to conduct the 2012
Citizen Survey that will help the City meet its accountability objectives and provide valuable
information for Council's priority setting, budget deliberation and core service review.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
Common Council recently endorsed a strategic framewark for the 2013 service-based budget
process inclusive of the Council priority setting and core service review. An important
component to this framework is public engagement. The City is planning to deliver a public
engagement program that encourages citizens to share their priorities for the community, what
they think are core services, and what they want the City to consider when making decisions
about service delivery. The annual citizen survey was identified as one mechanism for receiving
input from the community.
The City of Saint John has made a commitment to demonstrating accountability for decisions
made and results achieved with respect to the services it delivers to the public. In October of
2009, the City of Saint John engaged Ipsos Reid to design and conduct three annual citizen
surveys to understand the priorities and concerns of its residents and to support its desire to
continuously improve service delivery.
While the original request for proposal was for the selected research firm to conduct three
surveys (which have been completed)we are recommending that Council direct engage Ipsos
Reid to conduct the 2012 Citizen Survey. Given the aggressive timelines set out for the City's
budget process and supporting initiatives, direct engagement would ensure that objectives can be
met with respect to public engagement requirements.
131
M&C Strategic Framework Public Engagement-Citizen Survey Page 2
Many of questions included in the survey are key performance indicators for a number of the
services the City delivers. It is important to continue to measure citizen satisfaction as an input
into developing continuous improvement strategies for service delivery. Direct engagement with
Ipsos Reid will ensure that the City's results can continue to be compared year over year and
with municipal norms.
INPUT FROM OTHERS
Administrative and Finance Services, through the Purchasing service area has been consulted on
this matter. Purchasing indicated there is justification to direct engage Ipsos Reid, with
Council's approval, based on the ability to compare results to the previous surveys completed to
date.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
Ipsos Reid has provided the City with a statement of work and a cost estimate for the 2012
Citizen Survey. The proposed cost of work to revise the survey instrument, conduct telephone
interviews, complete statistical analysis, present to Council and prepare the report is $40,000
plus HST. Funds been allocated to cover the cost estimate in the 2012 Strategic Services
operating budget to carry out this work.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City direct engage Ipsos Reid to conduct the 2012 Citizen Survey in
the amount of$40,000 plus HST to support on-going efforts to measure performance and engage
the public for input on the 2013 service-based budget.

Your Worship and Councillors:
SUBJECT: Golden Mile Corridor Plan
BACKGROUND:
On August 4, 2009 Common Council received and filed a letter from Councillor
McGuire regarding an initiative to build on thc recommendations that emerged
from the West Side Retail Business Forum hosted by the City of Saint John and
Enterprise Saint John.
Councillor McGuire advised Council that a meeting had been convened between
City sta.ff, Enterprise Saint John and Ward One Councillors to begin a dialogue
and generate ideas to turn the reconnmendations of the Retail Forum into actions
for Fairville Boulevard. Further updates were promised as the project continues
to develop.
Previous commitrnents such as P1anSJ and other priorities that involved
significant time investment prevented sta.ff from being able to undertake the
plaluung study for Fairville Boulevard. With the Municipal Plan now completed,
staff have since finalized the Techrucal Background Report(attached)that will act
as a basis for the corridor study, and are prepared to present this information to
the general public to help generate input and feedback.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of the attached background report is to present the function and
historical developmenf o�the Boulevard, discuss the transitioning form of the
Boulevaxd frorn a predominantly industrial corridor to the West Side's preeminent
retail area, and evaluate some urban design features and opportunities. Staff plan

ideas and opportunities for the Boulevaxd. The Background Report wiil serve as a
basis of information to facilitate discussion at the public open house.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that Common Council:
1. Receive and file the Golden Mile Corridor Plan Background Report for
the purposes of guiding the forthcoming public engagetnent sessian;
2. Schedule a public open house to launch#ne Corridor Pian for September 6,

II. Descriphon of Study Area
The study area for this report encompasscs those]ands along Fairville Boulevard from Simms
Coz-xier to the termznation of the Boulcvard at Manawagonish Road, including some of the lands
in between the I3oulevard and Manawagonish Road.
Fairville Boulevard is an arteria3 road that s#rctches for approximately two kilometres between
Simms Carner and the juncture where the Boulevard and Manawagonish Road converge on the
City's Wesi Side. Referred to localiy as "the Golden Mile", Fair�-ille Boulevard acted as a main
access route between the West Sidc and t�e Uptown area (via the Reversing Falls Bridge) prior
to the establishmcnt of thc Saint John Throughway{Route 1).
Fairville Boulevard and Manawagonish Road are linked by tl�-ee loca] streets: Keirstead Road,
O'Rrien Street and Catherwood Strect (see Figure 1 below). Approximately b90 metres separate
the western-most local street, Keirstead Road, and O'Brien Street, located adjacent to the
Westwind shopping centre. Catherwood Street is the most significant of the three connector
strccfs, servicing the area from Manawagonish Road to the Lowcr West Side and connecting
beyond the Fairville area to the Seawood and Beaconsfield neighbourhoods south of Fairville
Boulevard. Catherwood Street also contains access ramps to Route 1, which provides a direct
route to thc Uptown via thc Harbour Bridge.
Fairville Boulevard is a wide arterial road with scant vegetation. The designatcd right-of-way far
the Boulevard is approximately 31 rnetres wide. "I'he arca dedicated to vchicular movernent an
the Boulevard is approximately 18_5 meti•es, with two dedicated lanes of traffic traveling in each
direction. The majonty c�f the �'airville Boulcvard right-of-way also contains a shared left-tu�-n
lane that runs down the middle of the street.
Manawagonish Road runs parallel to the north of the Golden Mile and is predaininantly
resideniial in character, complemented by two schools, a church and a mixture of some
cornmercial uses. The land surrounding the Golden Mile is marked by areas of steep slopc,
including a rugged rock surface with si�nif cant elevation between the Boulevard and
Manawagonish Road. The two roads can reach up to 35 metres in elevation differencc, although
thc gade is more modest as the land descends towarci the Saint John Harbour. There is one
watercourse to t]ie south of the Boulevard.
Separated by thc Golden Mile and Highway l, the residential neighbourhoods of Greendale and
Quinton Heights to the north and the Meadowlands and Fundy I�eights to the south have grown
scparately population size since the Boulevard was initially devcloped. Appendix 1 illustrates thc
existing residential densities of the ncighbaurhoods surrounding the Boulevard. As the image
shows, the majority of thc density occurs in the neighbourhoods abutting the east and west ends
of the Boulevard. Although the proximity of thc residential neighbourhoods to the south of
Fairville Boule�•ard are well within walking distance,the development of Highway 1 and the
lack of pedestrian infrastructure connecting these communities to the Boulevard create
impediments to active modes of transportation.

Thc Golden Mile has long existed as the main Ser>>ice Corridvr for cornrncrcial and light
industrial uses on the West Side. The Boulevard also acts as a kcy gateway to thc City of Saint
John via the Throughway or the Rcversing 1�alls Bridge.

II1. Land Use Survey
Since thc 1970s, the Golden Mile has accommodated a combination of commercia] and light
industrial uses. In more recent years, several largc rctail developments have located on �'airville
Boule�ard, contributing to the eti�ol��ing character of thc corridor and raising questions regarding
future plans for the area. Many of the redevelo�ments that have occurred along the Boulevard
have provided enhanced retail spaces, followed by upgrades ta the public righi-of-way, including
a signalised intersection at the entrance to the Sobeys and other stores Ic�catec� in the Fairville
Plaza shopping ccntre.
l_ Hl.StOl�ical Context: 1973 Municipal Plan Designation
The 1973 Municipal Plan categorised the Fairville Boulevard area as a "Service Corridor" (see
Figure 2 below}. The designation included all the lands hetwcen Manawagonish Road and
Fairvillc Boulevard, and the vacant Iands between the Boulevard and Highway 1. This
4 Pu � e
138
dcsignation en�isaged a "continuous commercial `strip' of automobile oriented businesses
including nlotcls and fasi (ood outlets located on a major traffic route" and included "many
`light' industries, which looseiy resemble general commercial uses" (see Appendix 2 for a full
descri�iion of the "Service Corridor" provisions from the 1973 Municipal Plan). Indeed, many of
the retail stores and shopping arcas along the }3oulcvard are currently found in the "I-1" Light
Tndustrial zone. Although tl�is satisfies the requirernents of the l 973 Plan, there is question as to
whether a light industrial zone is the most appropriate for the Boulevard going forward.

ii. PIaj�SJ Visio�� and Existing Zonaizg
Ovcr the past tv��o years, Csty staff 3�ave been engaged in the process of creating a new MunicipaI
Plan for Saint John. Known as "PIanSJ", t�e new Municipal Plan is a product of extensive public
engagement, technical background research and a thorough review of current planning best
practices. In ihe new Plan, adopted on February 2l, 2Q12, Fairville Boulevard is designated as
onc of two "Regional Retail Centres". The policy statemenls witliin the Regional Retail Centre
desi�mation of the new Municipal Plan establish a elear direction for Council to set"detailed
standards for land usc, site design principles, landsca�ing, access arrange�nents,
street/transportation improvements, transit routes, and other infrastructure improvements". The
Plan also encaurages the"relocation of incornpatible land uses from the area {Fairville
Baulevard} to the City's �ndustrial Parks" (see Appendix 3 for a detailed description of a
Regional Retail Centrc). The successfu] development of the Boutevard to a Regional Retail
Centre depends in part on the phasing aut of industrial-type uses.

Both the 1973 Municipal Plan and P1anSJ prescribc a harmon�ous set of]and uses that extend
from onc end of the Boulevard to the other. The continuity of land uses along a corridor, like the
Golden Mile, l�elps it develop in a way that enables the desired image or"brand" to crnerge. Ta
achieve this, conflicting land uses should be cli�ninated over time, c�r minimised as much as
possible. Figure 3 (ahavc} illustrates tlne existing zonin�of properties along the Fairville
Bc�ulevard comdor.
"I'he n�ajonty of the properties on the Bouic�-ard are found in one af three differcni industria]
zones. As shown in Figure 3, these •r.ones includc "I-1" Light Industrial, "I-3" Lighi Industrial
Park and "I-4"Heavy lndustrial Park. The existing commercial zones along the Boulevard
include "SC" Shopping Centrc, "SC-2" Shopping Centre, `B-2" General Business and "SZ-22"
Special Zonc 22 {which contains land uses similar to those f�und in thc`B-2" zone) {Appendix 4
contains a full description of the standards for each of the above zoning categories}. Over the
years the Golden Milc has developed an incangrucnt mix of land uses that challenge the ability
af the Boulevard to cultivatc the character of a"Regional Izetail Centre". The range of
coinmercial and light industnal land uses creates a cc�nflicting transition from retail malls and
sl�ops to warehousing and open storage areas. Indeed, the majority of the properties on the
Boulevaxd are currently in one of three Industrial zones.

iii. Conflicting Land LJSes and Planning Issues
The stated goal of PIanSJ with regards to the role and function of Fairville �3oulevard is to
promote "retail and ser��ice-based uses intcndcd to primarily serve the residents wcst of t3�e St.
John River". The predominanec of industrial zoning inhibits the Boulevard frorn evolving into
this role as several of the permitted uses are not of the commercial nature envisioned by the Plan.
A clustering of the permitted, non-com�nercial industrial land uses along the Boulevard would
create an urban form that inhibits the opportunity for retail-oriented businesses to thrive in the
area. Considering the dircction of PianSJ, the presence of light industrial uses along the Golden
Mile should be]ian�ited to those that resemble or complement the commercial nature of the
corridor and contribute ta the continuity of its retail form. Transition o��er time to retail-arientcd
uses should be strongly encouraged. Table 1 (see Appendix 5} lists the different commercial and
industrial land uses exis#ing on the Boulevard, as wcll as their carresponding zoning
designations.
Sorne types of light industrial businesses are similar enough to retail businesses that their
presence along a carnmercial corridor has no disccrnable negative impact on the continuity of the
corridor. Table 2 {see Appendix 6}prescnts all the existing land uses on the Goldcn Mile into six
different categories: "Restaurant/13ar", "Reiail", "Personal Service", Community- Service",
Industrial and Automobile", and "Other". When ]ooked at as a percentage of all businesses,
industrial-typc land uses do not represent a large portion of the whole. However, rnany of#he
industrial land uses are large o�crations with formidable aesthetic impacts. ln addition, n�any of
the retail businesses listed in Table 3 are cc�ncentrated in one of the threc shopping plazas
{Fairville Place, Westwind Place and Lancaster Mall) and do not have significant street front
presence.
Within the existing industrial zones along the Golden Mile,however, there are a number of
"light industrial" uses that are visibly incoinpatible within the contcxt of a Regional Retail
Centre. These land uses include outdoor s#orage arcas, or"rough yards", as well as large ana/or
unsightly warehouse operations. Figure 4 {below) illustrates the location of thcsc types of light
industrial operations that arguably fall outside the parameters of what should be considered
"compatible" iand uses in a Regional Retail Centre.

iv_ i�acunt Yroperties
in addition tc� the open storage and warehouse operatians currently found on the Golden Mile,
there are a number of vacant lots and a fcw vacant huildings. In their currer�t form, these
properties negati��ely impact the aesthetic of the corridor. Although��acant pa,operties can
contribute to the decline of an urban area, they also carry in thcir undeve]oped state the potential
for future growth. The (rc)development of these spaces into retail uscs would facilitatc a
renaissance for the Boulevard, cnabling it to realize part of the vision stated for it in PIanSJ. The
grccn lands in Figure 5 {below} are currcntly vacant; although some of these lands are challenged
by their size, shape or difficul#terrain, many are quality spaces that exhibit strong potential for
redevelc�pment.

��. Clzullenges a�7d Opportunities
A significant challenge thai arises with the existing zoning is tl�e range of pc�tentially
incompatiblc land uses that could occur adjacent to one and other. Tlie range of iand uses
perrnitted by the five most predominant zones along Fair��ille Boulevard lacks the clear vision
expressed in the new Municipal Plan for a Regional Retail Centre. Appendix 7 lists less than half
of the existing permittcd uses for the Boulevard as found in the most predominant zoncs. The
fieIds highlighted in yellow indicate land uses that currently exist on Fairvil3e Boulcvard, whilc
the fields left in white either contain land uses similaz�to existing ones or land uscs that arc
feasible for the area. The majority of these uses would be inapprc�priate for a Regional Retait
Centre.
As Appendix 4 indicates, despite the retail �•ision for the boulevard,the existing zoning is
predominantly light industrial. Thcrc are only few properties that are currently zoned"B-2"
General Business on the Boulevard; however, this zone arguably reflects the best assorhment of
permitted uscs within the Zoning By-jaw that would suit a Regional Retail Centre. lndced, recent
developrnents along the Boulet•ard have soug�t a rezoning typically from one of the industrial
zones to a retail-oriented zone. Although the uses in the existing retail zoning caiegories arc
9 � Page
143
appropriate for a Regional Retail Cenh-e, the standards would ha��e to he modii-ied in order to
best fit thc needs of Fairville Boulevard'
IV.Existing Building Stock
The Golden Mile has a range of building types, sizes and ages. The agc of thc building stock
rar►ges from as t�ld as 1940 to as rccent as 2011. The average assessed value for properties along
the Boulevard from Simms Corner to Manawagonish Road is approximately $1,044,800, while
the avcrage year of cons#ruction for�uildings in the same area is 1978. Due to the low quality
architectural form of a good portion of the building stock, the majority of the structures predating
the 1980s have bcgun to appear tired and in need of reinvestrneni. Most of those that are in a
state of visible declinc are found in the light industria] zones.
When more closely examined, a discernable difference in the age and condition of the building
stock on either side of the Boulevard becomes evident. The average age of the building stock on
the south side of the Golden Mile between Catlierwood and thc highway off-ramp is 1988, while
the average assessed ��aluc for these properties is approximately $1,246,500. Rccent cominercial
dcvelopment on this side of the strcct has included a new Sobeys, Bulk Barn, Dc�llar Store, NB
Liquor Store, Yapa John's Pirr.a, and Staplcs; as well as#he new Canadian Tire store and ihe
refurbishmcnt of Lancaster Mall. All these developmcnts are of a retail nature and are faund in
one of the two "Shopping Centre"' zones. These retail developmcnts arc good examples of the
types of land uses thai the "Scrvice Corridor" and "Regional Retail Centre" designations of both
the cxisting Plan and the 1973 Plan contemplated in their vision for Fairville Bovlevard.
In addition to the retail focus of the new develc�pmenis on Fairville Boule�•ard, the dcsign and
layout of the buildings in these de�elopinents are more reflcctivc of a rctail corridor. That is,
n�ore attention was invested in ihe aesthetic details of the develo�n�ents, enhancing the curb
appeal and lending a stronger retail character to the Golden Mile. Reduced front yard setbacks,
increased landscaping and more tasteful signage, arnong other elements, set the recent
developn�ents apart from historic trends along the Boulevarci.
Thc lower assessed value of the north side of Fairville Boulevard is attributable to the majority of
the vacani lands, open storage and warehousing businesses 6eing located on this side of the
Golden Mile. Unlike the south side of Fairville Boulevard, the north side of the street has seen
little reinvestment in recent ycars. As a result, the average year of construction for the building
stock on the north side af the Boulevard is ]971. Taking into consideration the type and age of
the buildings along this side of the Boulevard, it is not surprising that#he average assesscd value
is also lower; approximately$551,500, which is lcss than half the value of the opposing side of
the street.
It is worth inentioning that the north side of the street is almost entirely found in one of two light
industrial zones. This does not suggest ihat the industrial zones preclude lower assessed values or
the presence of vacant properties; it does, howcvcr, suggest that properties on the opposite sidc
1 As a foilow-up to the success#ul implernentation of PIanSJ,stafF are currently undertaking a"Zoning By-law
iteview" process,which will eventually prescribe zoning designations for Fairville Boulevard that will reflect its role
as a Regional Retail Centre.

144
of the sfircet that have seen developmcnt activity in recent years have nceded to be rezoned from
a previously existing industria3 zone to a more retail-friendly"business"or"shopping" zone.
V. L]rban Design Features
Standardising urban design features of a corridor, like Fairville Boulevard, cnahles the space to
dcvelop in a manner that exhibits quality and taste, is sensiti��e to the existing context, and can
help cultivate a uniquc character and generate a meaningful `sense of place' for the subject area.
Urban design practices generally concern the details of the built cnvirorunent in all its fornns,
ranging from the edifices, street furniture and landscaping plans; to signage, strcet design and
existing municipal services infrastructure. Currently, Fairville Boulevard has little in the way of
rnaturc landscaping, street furniture or d�sign features that help it cultivate a unique identity.
i. Signage
Signs are also an important feature of thc built en��iromnent that can add or detract froin the
aesthetic appeal of a corridor. Thc Zoning By-law for the City regulatcs the size and �eneral
setbac�C requirements for signs used on a property; however, thcrc are no existin�regulatory
controls over tlae design and quality of signs.
There are se��eral types of signs on the Boulevard that az-e used for various reasons, including
advertising, event prom�tions and cammunity awareness campaigns. Among the typcs of signs
on the Boulevard, there is a strong presence of free-standing and mc�bile signs, typically in the
format of large billboard signs (especially at the entrance of shopping plazas or malls) or mobile
signs ��viih ncon lettering. Table 4 (below) summarises the types of signs currezltly on Fairville
Boulevard_
Table 4: Number and Type of Signs on the
Boule�ard
Type Number
FreeStand ing 23
Mobile 23
Poster Panel 3
Multiple Business Panel � 4
Table 4 highlights a preference for business owners to use freestanding or rnobile signs.
Moreover, there are several properties that contain two or more signs in their front yard, which
creates a cluttered and disorderly i�npression for the Golden Mile. Appendix 8 illustrates the
signage used along the two kilometre stretch of thc Boulevard. The vast majority of the signagc
does little to impro�-e the aesthetic appcal of the corridor. The presence and ty�e of si.gns uscd
along the Boulevard arc presented in Table 2 (see Appendix 5).
Section 840 of the Zoning By-law regulates the placcment and size of signs for cach zone in the
City (see Appendix 9). Granting rr�ore power to regulate the design and placement of signs would
enab3e the City to better control the negative visual i►xipact that signage may have an areas like
11 ', Page
145
Fairville Boulevard. The existing design and location of several signs along the �3oulevard in
their current form do not contribute to a meaningful sense of place. Conversely, a coordinated set
of design standards f��r signage could help cultivate a rnore unique character far the Boulevard,
which would enhance the general appeal of the area.
ii. Landscaping
Landscaping is an important feature of urban design as it has the dual function of creating beauty
in urban areas, while lessening our ecological impact as a society by reducing the amount of CO2
in the air. �'airville Boulevard currently has little greenery to soften the visual irnpact of a
vehicic-oriented retail corridor. In the 2.2 kilometre stretch of Fairville Boulevard,there are
approximatcly 35 trees in the landscaped areas of all propertics. By comparison, a 750 metre
section of Manawagonish Road —less than half the length of the Golden Mile- contains roughly
115 landscaping trces. Although the two corridars differ in their funetion and use, the placement
of trees along a commercia� comdor can have similar aesthetic and environmental benefits as a
residential corridox.
Prospect Strect in Fredericton, a more fitting comparison for Fairville Boulevaz•d, has
approximately 120 landscaping trees. Although most of the trees along Prospect Street are
younger, and the con-idor is approximately 500 mctres longer, this is si�mificanily more greenery
than what is present on the Golden Mile. Furthermore, it is arguable that Prospect Street itself
does not have adequate]andscaping for a commercial corridor, and perhaps Fairvi3le Boulevard
should aspire to achieving more with the size and quality of landscaping it demands for the
future.
ii. Str�et Fu��niture
Street furniture refers ta stationary objects on public r�ghts-of-��ay,ranging from laznp posts,
mail boxes, benches and garbage bins; to bus shelters, bike racks and any other fixed items that
se�ves a function for the public. The sh-ategic use of unique street furniture ean make positi�e
contributions to the de�•elopment of a corridor by adding to its character and appeal.
Fairville Boulevard has a minima] arnount of street furniture, most of which is conventional in
style and de�nonstrates littic�•isual appeal. The most prominent examples of street furniturc
curreniiy exist.ing along the Bouie��ard are telephone poles, conventional streetlighis and standard
fire hydranis.
iii. Parking and Architecture
The lack of design policies and lirnited parking standards for new developments has cnablec�the
Boulevard to develop in ways that are inconsistent with current best practices. Large front yard
setbacks, no architectura� standards, and large parking areas locatcd at the front of the buildings,
are all characteristics common to the developnient styles of previous eras. Today,the standards
of best practice in urban design involve creating more control xnechanisms over these aspects of
a development. Because the rnajority of Fairville Boulevard developed in previous decades, the
property layout typically xeflects the expected standards of an previous era.

ii. Opportunities
Chaptcr 4 of thc ncw Municipal Plan prescnts a strong focus on urban design as a tool to
cultivate community pride and generate a hetter sense of place. The chapter encourages high
quality architecture, streetscaping anci public art, as well as cnhanced landscaping standards and
the s#rategic ]ocation of large parking areas to the rcar of buildings. With the poliey fra�nework
in place to implemeni n�orc controls ovcr ihc aesthetic development of thc Baulevard, there is
great opportunity to cultivate a stronger character for the corridor as redevelopment continucs io
take place.
VI.Transportation and Municipal Infrastructure
ii. Se���icing Infrastructuj°e
The entirety of Fairville Boulevard is serviced by municipal water and sewage, including
Catherwood Street, O'Brien Street and Keirstead Road that pro�•ide access from the Boulevard to
Manawagonish Road. In addition, Munieipal Operations and Enginee�ing has stated that there is
a proposcd Capital Project for 2014 to renew approximately 720 �netres of 300rnm watexmain
pipe that stretches from the intersection at Catherwood Street to 1 Plaza A��enue ("Sobeys"}.
Saint John Woxks has advised that flooding frequently occurs on Fairville Boulevard near 1155
Fairville Boulevard ("Comfort Inn"}. To address the issuc, a yuote has been received to cc�nduct
a 1oca1 drainage study that will accompany the Honeysuckle Draizxage Basin Report; a study
l3 � Page
147
done in 2010 that evaluatcd the"options to reduce flooding risks ... o�i Hone�suckle I�rive and
the lowcr ends of Sherbrookc Street, Montreal Avenue and Molson Avenue" . The report
identifies problems related to surface flooding along the lowcr areas of Fairville Boulevard
du�i.ng extreme rainfal] events.
iii. Pedestrian infrastructure
The Boulevaxd was constructed with the concept of motorists being the primary users traveling
through the corridor, without much consideration invested in how other users travel through the
same spacc. However, the designation of a street as a"Regional Retail Centre" or"Service
Corridor" should encourage more pedestrian infrastructure in the future. Capitalising on thc
opportunities to promote more sustainable rnodes of transportatian is a position strongly
cndorsed by PIanSJ.
There are currently sidewalks along the entire north side of Fairville Boulevard and for the
majority of south side of tl�e street. Thc sidewalks are approxirnately 1.5 metres wide on both
sides and are gencrally kept in gaod condition. The majority of the sidcwalk space is separated
from the street right-of-way by an approximate 0.8 landscaped strip and curb, which periodicaJly
contains street si�s, fire hydrants,telephone poles, and other similar built features.
The Boulevard has three pedestrian crossing points: Simms Corncr intersect�on, Catherwood
i��tersectian and at the Sobeys' 3ighis. The width of the Boulevard makes the conditions for
crossing the busy corridor gener•ally dafficult. The lack of a median creates further impedizl�ents
i-��r those who opt for no��-motorised forms of transportation. Like the n�ajonty of retail corridors
and areas with poor pedestrian infrastructure, Fairville Boulevard generally has few pedestrians.
iv. Vehicular mo��e�ne��t
The width and nu�nber of lanes provided along the Golden Mi1e allow traffic to flow with little
inten-uption. A traffic in���act study conducted for Fairville Boulevard in 2008 found the volumc
of traffic to�e approximately 14,000 vehicles per da.y, which can be casily accommodated by
four traffic lanes3_ Main Street, Dartmouth, which is aiso a�raajoz artenal road containing several
retail stores and con�munity ainenities for the local community, has an average 30,000 vehicles
per day with the same number of lanes (Ekistics Planning& Design, 2007).
In addition to traffic flow, the Saint John Police l�orce compiled the data for all motor vehicle
accidents that occurred along Fairvi]]e Boulevard in 2009, and mapped it according ta accident
concentrations (see image 2 bclow). The study showed the loeation and severity of the accidents,
as well as graphically illustrating the areas that experienecd the �reatest number of accidents. As
the image shows {below},the majority of the accidents occurred in the retail areas of the
Bouleti�ard.
�Copies of this report can be obtaineci from the City's Municipal Operations and Engineering Department.
3 Technicaliy,the Boulevard is currently operating as four-lane arterial road.I-Iowever,there is a fifth lane that exists
for the majority of the Boulevard,bat is used exclusively as a lane Cor left-turning ve�icles.

The Sirnms Corner intersection has received criticism over the ycars for not being easy to
navigate for pedestrians, cyclists or niotorists unfamiliar with the intersection. To address the
challenges of traffic flow through Simms Corner, Municipal Qpe�ations and Engineering has
identificd thc reconfiguration of the intersection as a priority project. The Plan includes
relocating the existing truck rc�ute along Harding Street, which is a residential street accessing
Main Street West, to Fairvi]]e Boulevard by making thc Boulevard a two-way strcet frc�n-� the
Simms Corner access point. '1'his wouid offer more direct access to t�e higliway for tr�cks, as
well as hclp prescr�c the residcntial character of Harding Street. l lowevcr, badget constraints in
2012 have f��rced this project to be delayed and the City continucs to seek the participation of the
Province of New Brunswick, given the i•oad is a designated provincia] highway.
v. Pu61ic 7�°ansit
Fairville Boulevard is wel] serviced by public transit. Saint John Transit route numbers l, 5/6,
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and the Comex route number 50 all service at least a portion ofthe
Boulevard (see Appendix 9 for mapping details). There are currently two bus stops on I�airville
Boulevard, one locatcd at Lancaster Mall, the other at the Fairville Boulevard P�aza. Both bus
stops have roofed sheiters to help prc�tect passengers from poor weather conditions.
vi. Opportunities
Unlike many roads in Saint John, Fairville Boulevard is relatively flat, with only the wcstem
access point containing any significant difference in elevation from the rest of the Boulevard. A
flat surface and good road conditions create good opportunity for the Boulevard to capture a
15 ! Page
149
�reater share of trips by non-motarised modes of transportation. Cycling and walking are
preferred modes for environmental and health reasons, but are often challcnged by the physical
conditior�s of the asphalt or gcographical challengcs, like steep hills. However, the physical
conditions of the �3oulevard arc not challenged in these ways, which could provide favourable
conditions f��r increasing pedestrian firaffic. In addition, thc Boulevard is well serviced by public
transit, and has high quality bus stop shelters that protect against poor weather conditions.

Appendix#2: 1973 Plan "Service Corridor" Designation
Service Carridors
There are many commercial facilities in 5aint John wh9ch are not located in the well-defined centres. Such
facilities are usually called Highway Commercial and Generak Cammercial uses,and often form a fairly
continuous commercial "strip"of autorr�obile oriented businesses including motels and fast food outlets
located o� a major traffic route.They may serve a small local area or a significant portion of the City depending
on the location and line of goods and services offered.There are also many"light" industries,which closely
resemble�eneral commercial uses.7hey may have offices and a retail component combined with warehousing
or light manufactu�ing.
Many of the businesses,which fall under these headings, are considered "service industries"and have
represented a major portion of business growth in recent years. When a number of these uses are grouped
together,they function as large linear"shopping centres"or service corridors.They offer a wide variety of gaods
and services and the autorrtobile makes it relatively easy for many people to shop in t�ese areas despite the
fact that businesses are somewhat spread out,and few people wpuld walk between them.
It is the policy of the City of Saint John that:
2.4.6.25 Service Corridors are intended to accomplish the foliowing purposes:
a) provide locations for businesses which depend upon direct access by automobile and visibility from
the street;
b) pro�ide opportunity for local individual property ownership which is not usually poss9ble in shopping
malls where space is leased by manager/owners and where locat businesses are sornetimes
dorninated by chain operations;
c) provide ownership opportunities for a business offering increased independence and flexibility
regarding signs, building design, and general operation;
d) provtde oppartunity for larger sites for businesses which require them and for those who do not find it
economical to tocate in the Uptown or in suburban shopping ce�tres. Examples of such businesses
are furn�ture sales,car sales and service, and building suppiies;
e} provide a location for retail businesses integrated with a wholesale or storage facility;
f) provide the location for repair or other services which are integrated with "light industrial"uses.
gJ provide a location for appropriate community facility uses.
2.4.6.26 The following are the designated Service Corridors and are shown on Schedule 2-A:
a) Rothesay/McAllister: Rothesay Avenue and including portions of McAllister Drive from Rothesay
Avenue ta Loch �omond Road;
b} Bayside: Bayside Drive including Thorne ant� Russell Avenues and Kanes Corner;
c} City Road;
d) Paradise Row;
e} Fairville Boulevard: and including the former Manawagonish Ma41
f) Ocean West Way;
g} South Bay:on Westfie�d Road;
h) Manawagonish Road: between Westgate Drive and Gault Road.
2.4.6.27 To ensure that within the areas designated as ap�ropriate for Service Corridors on the Future
Land Use Plan of the Municipal Pian,the following wi[I apply:
a) recognize Service Corridor development as a functional part of the comrnercial and light industrial
structure of the City and to pfan for it in a positive way anci in a manner that minimizes impacts on
surrounding residential areas;
b) encourage highway commercial, other general commercial,and light industrial uses to focate in
existing Service Corridors rather than in scattered locations throughout the residential areas of the
City:
152
c) improve the safety of traffic movements in Service Corridor areas,special consideration should be
given to providing turning lanes and mir�imizing access points wherever possible, and providing ample
parking areas;
i. where possible, encourage the pro�ision af common off-street}�ar�Cing facilities and common
access points to several properties;
ii. where possible,faciiitate through trafFic by providing an alternative arterial route parallel to
major Service Corridors.
d) where Light Industrial uses exist in areas that are designated 5ervice Corridor, it is not the intention of
this policy to prohibit their expansion.Specific zoning for the industrial use would define the boundary
of such a use, which could be limited with approprlate development agreements where deemed
necessary;
e) recognize that residential uses may continue in parts of a Service Corridor, although they are not
encouraged,and to provide for appropriate site amen9ties while aUowing the further evolution of the
Service Corridor function;
f) Service Corridors will be implemented through apprapriate provisions under a variety of categories of
the Zoning By-law, including commercial, light industry, residential, Fnstitutional,and other community
facili#y uses;
g) Heavy Industrial uses are not considered appropriate in 5ervice Corridors. If it is the intention to allow
Heavy lndustrial Uses in an area currently designated Service Corridor, an amendment to d�signate
that area as Heavy lndustrial in Sub-Section 2.4.7.8 and on Schedule 2-A would be required;
h) new Service Corridor areas, when allowed,should be as compact as possible and are to be designated
and indicated on Schedule 2-A and listed in Sub-Section 2.4.6.26;
i) appropriate standards are to be developed, in keeping w9th the nature of Service Corridors,for
driveway access, landscaping,and signage.
153
Appendix #3: PIanSJ "Regional Retail Centre" Designation
Regianal Retafl Centre
Regionaf Retail Centres are the large-format retail and service concentrations in the City.
These Regional Retail Centres provide retail cfevelopment that is designed to be accessed
primarily by automobile, although this Municipal Plan sets out poEicy seeking improvements to
ensure pedestrians, cyciists, and those using public transit can benefit from improved access
to these important amenities. Regional Retail Centres have been identified in the East and
West of the City.
Counc�l shall:
Policy LU-59 Create the Regional Retail Centre land use designation on the Future Land Use map
(Schedule B)to identify the two areas of the City where large format commercial and retail
development will be directed: McAllister Regional Retail Centre and Fairville Boulevard
Regional Retail Centre.
Policy LU-60 Acknowledge that each Regional Retaii Cenlre in the City is unique and will evolve differently
to serve the needs of the community. Council inte�ds that:
a_ McAllister Regional Retail Centre is the major Regional Retail Centre in the City and will
continue to be the focus for commercial retaii and service-based uses intended to serve all
of Southwestern New Brunswick_
b. Fairville Boulevard Regional Retail Cenfre is a secondary, more community-based Regional
Retail Centre which will contain less intensive commerctal retail and service-based uses
intended to primarily serve residents west o#th�St.Joh� River.

RE: New Brunswick Tourism Industry Structure Review
Dear Members of Common Council:
We are writing as a courtesy to advise you of an important dialogue that is currently
taking place regarding the structure and mandates of destination marketing agencies
(DMOs) throughout the Province of New Brunswick. The purpose for this letter is to
advise you of this activity and to provide you with some background on this subject as we
expect these discussions and consultation to grow in scope and size over the coming
months.
This new review is being undertaken by the Province of New Brunswick and the Tourism
Industry Association of NB. This re��iew is being completed in part to examine the
potential for legislation for a provincial wide Destination Marketing Fee (DMF). This
includes a review to establish geographical boundaries for DMOs throughout the
province with the objective of establishing clear mandates and for these agencies.
Presently the industry is highly fragmented and common overlapping agencies between
regions. To date, prelirninary discussions on these issues have been undertaken with
inany industry and DMO participants from throughout the province on an ad hoc basis.
For your benefit and background, in 2010 and after several years of review and
discussion, the City of Saint John and the Saint John Hotel Association agreed to the
creation of Discover Saint John, a public-private DMO for Saint John. This new agency
included new funding made possible by a voluntary DMF and introduced a board
governance model that included both city and industry representatives. The new DMO
replaced the former inunicipal department of Tourism Saint John. The creation of this
DMO was ahead of many other regions and in large part, the success of the Saint John
model has acted as a catalyst for this structure review in the province. Today, the Saint
John inodel has frequently been used as coinparison model for many other regions
considering their future structures.

To ensure a thorough review of the implications and opportunities of any impending
provincial legislation, a temporary committee has been established in Saint John to
undertake this task. The committee has been established in consultation with the City
Manager and includes two representatives from the DMO, one from city staff, one
member from the Hotel Association, and one member from the Saint John Tourism
Industry Association.
The committee's mandate includes an analysis of the current provincial discussions and
will include a review of alternatives for a preferred model that best serves the taxpayers
of the City Saint John and the Saint John Tourism Industry. The committee's objective is
not to re-create a new model, but rather to leverage and/or build upon the model that
currently serves Saint John. The committee's review will include a report which will be
issued to the two permanent members of the DMO, the City of Saint John and The Saint
John Hotel Association. Nothing within this review will be binding to any of the
members.
We hope this inforniation is helpful to you and as your agency we look forward to
presenting to you in the near future on both this subject and also on our general program
review. In the meantime, should any of you have any questions related to this industry
structure review or anything about our program, please do not hesitate to contact me
directly.
Sincerely,
