AS RESOLVED June 27, 2022- M&C No. 2002-225 Project
REPORT
In the spring of 2022, The Trojans rugby association requested a regional grant
$50,000 from the Land For Public Purpose fund toward the construction of a
Trojan House Community Centre. These moneys will contribute to a total project
cost of $750,000, with funding contributions from private fundraising ($ 243,000)
and government grants ($457,000). This facility will provide public programming
in the form of rugby programs, summer camp programming, and a recreational
facility use for the community organizations such as the Crescent Valley
community and the adjacent Hazen White St Francis school, and also a meeting
place for smaller non-registered community groups such as club meetings. The
facility will also be available for use by other rugby and community organizations
throughout the City as this is a regional grant and therefore serves the entire City
of Saint John.
A Land for Public Purpose (LPP) Trust Fund has been established by the City of
Saint John to balance the development of land for habitation with the demand for
land for recreational enjoyment of the neighbourhood, community, and the city.
The Community Planning Act recognizes this need and requires that a portion of
land or money-in-lieu of land be contributed to an LPP Trust Fund, to be drawn
upon for future and ongoing community projects on public land. The City has
icies for the Acceptance of Land for Public
A key update to this policy is the clarification
around projects which take place on privately owned land, contingent on a
suitable agreement between the City and the applicant.
- 3 -
This project is proposed on land privately owned by the Saint John Trojans R.F.C.
Inc., and is adjacent to the Hazen White Saint Francis School and volunteer-
maintained rugby field. Council approved this funding, conditional on a
satisfactory agreement between the City of Saint John and Saint John Trojans
R.F.C.. Below are the specifications for how the Trojan Rugby group will address
the public nature requirements of the facility. Barrier free public
access is clarified in the April 19, 2022 M&C report to mean that the public has
access to the facility at no cost for a reasonable amount of time:
a) that it shall only use the contribution in support of the construction of
the Centre;
b) that upon completion of the construction of the Centre, the Recipient
shall provide access
to non-profit, community groups, free of charge, for a minimum of ten
(10) hours per week;
c) that upon completion of the construction of the Centre, the Recipient
shall provide access to non-registered community groups of less then 25
persons, at-cost, for a minimum of ten (10) hours per week;
d) that the Recipient shall provide the Funding Party with a plan for
promotion and for the receipt of community bookings for the Centre;
e) that the Recipient shall report their statistics to the Funding Party
every three (3) months for the first year, and annually thereafter;
f) that the Recipient shall work with the Funding Party and the Province
of New Brunswick to find a mutually agreeable land agreement for the
land and parking currently occupied by the Hazen-White St. Francis
school, should the students be relocated to a different property;
g) that the Recipient agrees to honour these covenants until twenty-five
(25) years elapses, or the lifespan of the Centre, whichever shall occur
first.
- 4 -
Section VI of the Policies for the Acceptance of Land for Public Purposes and Use
of LPP Funds states: considered if the
applicant or project has already received funding though another municipal
grant. In accordance with the policy, Trojans R.F.C. Inc. agree to return the
previously awarded $7,000 Saint John Community Grant in exchange for the
recommendation of $50,000 from the LPP Trust Fund.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The LPP fund will directly support the Belong Council Priority . The rugby facility
will promote a vibrant community and livable neighbourhood by strengthening
community groups who use this space, and improving recreation programming,
facilities and infrastructure.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The balance as of November 2, 2022 in the LPP trust fund is $236,290.37.
Staff recommended $50,000 be allotted to the Trojans Rugby group, as outlined
in the report in the June 27, 2022 M&C No. 2002-
. This would result in a balance of
$186,290.37 remaining in the fund for the annual spring 2023 LPP applications.

Re: Saint John Trojans Rugby Club Community Centre
The Crescent Valley Resource Centre (CVRC) is pleased to provide this letter in support of the Saint
John Trojans Rugby Club community centre project on Sandy Point Rd., Saint John.
We recently met with Dave MacGowan from the Trojans Club and he gave us an overview of the
proposed community centre and the activities it would house. We are excited to learn about this
new neighbourhood resource and we anticipate making use of the facility for times when the CVRCs
space is inadequate or for new, currently unfulfilled, activities. Whether its a meeting room for a
large group, space for youth to participate in a drop-in or recreations activity or space for
community food security programs, the CVRC sees a great value in this facility for the neighbourhood
residents.
Additionally, there is a well-used path from Flemming Court to the field by Hazen White-St. Francis
school this would make the facility even more accessible to Crescent Valley residents.
We strongly support this initiative and we look forward to working with the Trojans Club to help
make this facility a community resource for all.
Sincerely,
Anne Driscoll
Executive Director
Crescent Valley Resource Centre

Encumbrances Land for Public Purposes
The City acquired PID 55193593 in 2008 as Land for Public Purposes (LPP) as part
of the Hartland Estates Subdivision. The parcel is located off Boyaner Crescent,
with 3.65 metres of public street access between civic addresses 182 and 190. Due
to its topography, location and limited access, the parcel has remained
undeveloped since acquisition by the City. Service New Brunswick has tax
assessed the parcel at $2,600.00.
With respect to neighbourhood access to recreational space, there is another
near-by parcel of LPP just a short distance from the subject parcel. This other
parcel (formerly a playground) is accessible between civic addresses 154 and 160
Boyaner Crescent.
- 3 -
Proposal
approached City staff to purchase the City owned Land for
Public Purposes (LPP), identified as PID No. 551935943 (see attached map). The
proponent wishes to acquire the City lot for the purpose of mitigating potential
surface water run-off issue associated with the further development of Dunnett
Drive.
The subject parcel is currently vacant and remains unused. Staff negotiated a sale
price of $5,000.00 plus HST with the sale subject to receiving the concurrence of
the Planning Advisory Committee and approval of Common Council. If successful
in acquiring the subject property, the proponent intends to design, seek applicable
approvals, and construct a drainage path(s) and or drainage swales over and
through the parcel to channel surface run-off. To aid in this project, the proponent
has acquired an adjacent parcel.
As a condition of sale, the proponent accepts that the parcel will remain
undeveloped except for any ditches, swales, or structures to aid in controlling and
directing surface water run-off.
The current zoning (R2 Two Family Residential) permits the intended use.
Other considerations
It is a policy of the City that when it receives an unsolicited offer to purchase land,
the selling price shall not be less than 10 per cent above appraised value.
Therefore, based on similar lands in the area and discounted for limited
development opportunities, Staff consider the proposed sale price of $5,000
(estimated market value plus 10%) to be fair value of this land.
Section 76 of the Community Planning Act provides that Council may, with the
concurrence of the Planning Advisory Committee, sell Land for Public Purpose if it
receives a majority vote of the members of Council for the sale. The same
provision also stipulates that all money received by the council from the sale of
LPP is to be paid into a special account, and the money in that account is to be
expended by the council for acquiring or developing land for public purposes and
for no other purpose.
Staff recommends that the City divest the land from LPP, deem the land surplus
to its needs and sell PID 55193593 to , as detailed in the
this report.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
The sale of the City land would result in a $5,000.00 benefit, a minimal property
tax levy relief per annum but includes economic spinoffs from the future
construction of new multi-residential developments along Dunnett Drive.
All costs related to the divesting of Land for Public Purposes and fees associated
with the subsequent land transfer and registration fees are the responsibility of
the Purchaser. No services will be impacted by this land sale.

DECISION HISTORY
In 2013, Common Council approved the rezoning of the southern portion of the site from Two-
Unit Residential (R2) to Mid-Rise Residential (RM) which included Section 59 conditions. One of
these conditions required the extension of Cambridge Drive to meet Leeds Crescent prior to any
further development of PID 55203145. In September 2022, PAC assented to the release of
Land for Public Purposes along the future extension of Cambridge Drive for residential
development of this area.
The applicant is in the process of acquiring a former parcel of Lands for Public Purposes from
the City (PID 55166813). The Committee concurred with the release of this parcel at its
September 2022 meeting.
ANALYSIS
Proposal
Page 3 of 9
Hughes Surveys &ConsultantsCambridge EstatesOctober7, 2022
The applicant is proposing to construct two multi-unit, four-storeyresidential buildingsand five
single- and two-unit residential buildings along a future extension of Cambridge Drive. A
rezoning of two of the lots on the western side of the future extension of Cambridge Drive from
Two-Unit Residential (R2) to Mid-Rise Residential (RM) is required to provide for the
development of a 24-unit apartment building and a 40-unit apartment building.
Site and Neighbourhood
The subject site is located in the community of Millidgeville, just south of Boars Head Road. The
27.8-hectare site is currently undeveloped but is part of a larger development known as
Cambridge Estates. The developer for this proposal is the same developer who has completed
the existing Cambridge Estates development, including Cambridge Drive, Grantham Road, and
Leeds Crescent. The proposed residential project is part of a larger greenfield development that
started in 2004 and has been developed by the applicant. As the proposed development is part
of a larger neighbourhood being constructed in phases over a period of time, staff is not
proposing the inclusion of a sunset clause.
The developer reported that they will uphold high-quality design characteristics found through
the rest of the neighbourhood to keep a consistent design concept through the new proposed
development. Examples of existing residential buildings within the neighbourhood are provided
as an attachment to the report and will serve as guidance for the development of the proposed
buildings.
The surrounding area contains a mix of low-density residential development along Boars Head
Road, Cambridge Drive, Leeds Crescent, and Woodward Avenue. The site itself has a mixture
of densities and zoning from High-Rise Residential (RH) to Mid-Rise Residential (RM) in the
southern portion and Two-Unit Residential (R2) in the northern portion. Cambridge Drive and
Leeds Crescent both end abruptly at the beginning of the site.
The wider area contains a mixture of uses and zoning including institutional and commercial
zoning. Land uses along Boars Head Road include seniors’ housing, a customer contact centre,
and low to medium density residential development. Undeveloped land also surrounds the
southern portion of the site. Bordering the proposed location of the new residential development
is land zoned Two-Unit Residential (R2) with a variety of single unit and semi-detached homes
on Cambridge Drive and Leeds Crescent.
The subject site is served by the City’s public and active transportation networks. The property
is in proximity to bus stops for transit route 25. Route 25 is a circular route that travels around
Millidgeville with a stop at the University of New Brunswick, the Saint John Regional Hospital,
and Rockwood Park. There is a sidewalk located on the west side of Cambridge Drive that
connects with Boars Head Road. East of the development there is a bike lane on Millidge
Avenue that continues to the University and Hospital going North and to the Uptown going
South.
Page 4 of 9
Hughes Surveys &ConsultantsCambridge EstatesOctober7, 2022
Residents will also have access to schools, the Charles Gorman Arena, churches, health
services, and other service-based uses that are located within the broader neighbourhood. The
site is accessed from Boars Head Road.
Municipal Plan and Rezoning
Municipal Plan
The site is designated as Stable Residential in the Municipal Plan. An analysis of the proposal
with respect to the relevant policies of the Municipal Plan is provided in Attachment 2. The
proposal is considered infill development of a vacant parcel of land and conforms to the policies
established within the Municipal Plan.
The proposed development has a density of 67 units per net hectare for the proposed 40-unit
dwelling and a density of 69 units per net hectare for the proposed 24-unit dwelling. While a
density target is not provided for Stable Residential areas, existing densities in the
neighbourhood range from 14 units per net hectare for single unit dwellings on Leeds Crescent,
20 units per net hectare for the semi-detached units on Cambridge Drive, and 29 units per net
hectare for the townhouses on Grantham Road. In the wider neighborhood Charlie Grace
Terrace has a density ranging from 33 units per net hectare for the three existing buildings to a
density of 73 units per net hectare for the building which is currently under construction. Despite
the proposed multi-unit dwellings on the extension of Cambridge Drive being in the higher range
of density for the area, they are still within policy directions for the Stable Residential
designation.
The proposed development is compatible with the vision established within the Municipal Plan,
as the proposed development:
Provides densification in an area with existing municipal services.
Is compatible with surrounding land uses given the variety of existing building typologies
and dwelling types found within the area, including other properties zoned RM.
Does not detract from the densification of Intensification Areas as it seeks to expand an
established (but incomplete) neighbourhood.
With respect to Urban Design principles, Policy UD-10 requires that new development in Stable
Areas be designed to respect and reinforce the physical character and uses of the surrounding
neighbourhood. This is applicable to the proposed subdivision, as criteria of this policy require
that the proposed development have regard for:
the local pattern of lots, streets and blocks, and
the size and configuration of lots.
Staff note the lot pattern along the proposed this street will be consistent with other streets in
the area and the proposed extension of the Public Street allows for connection to adjacent
lands.
Page 5 of 9
Hughes Surveys &ConsultantsCambridge EstatesOctober7, 2022
The proposal represents an opportunity to introduce additional density into a suburban context
meet the demands of future population growth and evolving housing needs in this area of the
City and the broader community. From the analysis of conformance with the Municipal Plan
Policies (Attachment 2), staff are of the opinion that the proposed development achieves the
intent of the Municipal Plan based on the density, the proposed uses, and the building forms in
the proposed development.
Rezoning
The northern portion of the site is zoned Two-Unit Residential (R2) and the applicant has
proposed to rezone two lots on the western side of the proposed Cambridge Drive extension to
the Mid-Rise Residential (RM) zone to allow for the construction of the proposed buildings.
The proposal, as presented, conforms to the standards of the RM zone. And if variances are
required as the site design for the proposed buildings is finalized, these variances will be
processed through the Development Officer variance process.
Housing Needs
The City has recently adopted the Affordable Housing Action Plan, which is a collaborative
exercise between the numerous community agencies, partners, developers, and federal and
provincial departments supporting affordable housing in Saint John. The Plan seeks to action a
variety of needed changes toward affordable housing in Saint John, involving numerous existing
processes, organizations, and partnerships, it will also identify actions for the City of Saint John.
The applicant has acknowledged the need for affordable units and has indicated they would be
willing to research if their project could incorporate affordable housing. The proposed
development will create an additional 64 apartment units into the City, which will provide for
additional housing options for residents, and will increase the housing diversity within the
broader neighbourhood.
Servicing and Traffic
The proposed development has been reviewed by the City’s Infrastructure Development Service
Area and Saint John Water with respect to water and sanitary sewer servicing and stormwater
management. Consistent with By-Law requirements, a site servicing plan, completed by a
Professional Engineer, is required at or prior to the building permit submission detailing the
water and sanitary sewer servicing for the site. A storm water management plan is also a
requirement detailing the approach to mitigate 100-year post development flows to the 5-year
predevelopment flow level.
The watermain in the area of the proposed development is an existing dead-ended main. The
owner/developer, at their cost and responsibility, will be required to interconnect the watermain
between Cambridge Drive and Leeds Crescent to provide fire flow for the proposed
development.
Infrastructure Development has recommended a Traffic Impact Statement be completed for the
proposal. The intersections of Cambridge Drive/Boars Head Road and Boars Head
Road/Millidge Avenue should be assessed for Level of Service since the access to the site by
Page 6 of 9
Hughes Surveys &ConsultantsCambridge EstatesOctober7, 2022
Cambridge Drive would remain the only access without future development by other sites.
Boars Head Road/Millidge Avenue may require traffic signals as the proposed development
continues. The applicant's traffic engineering consultant must address the aforementioned
concerns and provide a traffic study to the City for review and approval. Any upgrades to the
existing municipal infrastructure required to service this proposed development is the applicant's
full responsibility and cost.
Fire and Emergency Services
Fire and Emergency Management Services is supportive of the overall concept and note the
development must meet or exceed all requirements of the 2015 National Building and Fire
Codes. Fire safety plans will be required for the construction and occupancy stages of the
project and the building design is subject to review and approval by the Provincial Office of the
Fire Marshall as required by the provincial Fire Prevention Act.
Proposed Section 59 Conditions
Staff recommend the inclusion of the standard Section 59 conditions related to the submission
of detailed building elevations and site plans at the Building Permit Stage for Development
Officer approval.
Staff also recommend a Section 59 condition requiring landscaping in the front and flankage
yards of the proposed buildings to be in accordance with the required front and flankage yard
landscaping requirements in the Zoning By-Law which require a specific number of trees and
shrubs based on the required front and flankage yard areas. Staff note the proposed
development will be required to conform to the By-Law landscaping requirements related to
parking lot screening.
A condition related to the Traffic Impact Study requirement is also provided in the
recommendation.
Subdivision
A subdivision of the site is proposed which will result in the creation of two separate lots for the
proposed multi-unit buildings and 5 lots for single- and two-unit dwellings. It is recommended
that Council assent to any necessary Local Government Service Easements and Municipal
Drainage Easements should such easements be required for municipal piped infrastructure or
surface drainage as identified through the detailed design process. Staff are also
recommending that Council assent to the proposed extension of Cambridge Drive as shown on
the current plan and authorize the necessary City-Developer subdivision agreement.
As the development currently has a credit related to Lands for Public Purposes, the developer is
not required to provide any additional Lands for Public Purposes for this subdivision application.
Consistent with the requirements of the Municipal Plan and Subdivision By-law, the developer is
required to construct the proposed street and associated infrastructure including concrete
Page 7 of 9
Hughes Surveys &ConsultantsCambridge EstatesOctober7, 2022
curbing, sidewalk, underground public utilities, street lighting, andfull municipal services
(sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water mains) required for the development. This work will be
completed at the developer’s cost. The developer is also responsible for costs related to any off-
site infrastructure improvements required to service this proposal.
The Developer’s Consultant is required to submit the following information for City approval as
part of the subdivision approval process:
A detailed engineering design brief and drawings for the proposed Public Street,
sidewalk extension and infrastructure for the City’s review and approval. This includes
infrastructure contained within any proposed Local Government Service Easements that
may be required for the proposed subdivision such as the one shown on the Lot 20-1.
An engineering water and sewer analysis to allow for the City to determine the impact
this development will have on the existing municipal water and sewer infrastructure.
Detailed storm water management plan and design report indicating how storm water
will be managed for full build-out of the development. In accordance with the City’s
Storm Drainage Design Criteria Manual and the Drainage By-law, the stormwater design
on site will need to achieve a net zero impact.
The applicant/owner will also be responsible for obtaining all necessary municipal permits
including those for any work within existing Public Street right-of-ways or connections to existing
water, sanitary sewer or storm sewer infrastructure.
Consistent with the direction established by the Subdivision By-Law, Staff recommend that
Common Council exercise its discretion and accept Land for Public Purposes be accepted from
existing credit.
Conclusion
Staff recommend that assent be given to the proposed rezoning and subdivision along the
proposed extension of Cambridge Drive.

Cambridge Estates Proposal Details
Subdivision and Rezoning
Cambridge Drive Extension
Background
In 2013 a portion of PID 55203145 south of the lands in this proposal was rezoned too Mid-Rise
residential. At the time of rezoning several Section 39 conditions were imposed on the subject
property. One of the conditions required Cambridge Drive to be extended to connect to Leeds
Crescent prior to any further development of PID 55203145. The developer blasted trenches for future
installation of municipal services and some mass excavation was done along the section of Cambridge
Drive proposed to be developed at this time. This was done prior to homes being built close by to
minimize future disruption when the road and services were to be extended to Leeds Crescent to
interconnect the street system. The cost of carrying out this costly exercise has been carried by the
developer for nearly 20 years.
Proposal
The proposed development of the extension of Cambridge Drive will fulfill the Section 39 condition
related to making an interconnection of the street system within the development. The connecting
street is through terrain that is primarily conglomerate rock. As stated above, this cost has been
carried for a long period. To recapture substantial investments already made and cover additional
costs to make the interconnection of the street system and services the developer respectfully
requests permission to increase density along the west side of the proposed street extension which is
on the edge of the developed portion of Cambridge Estates. The developer has consistently chosen to
keep uniformity in colours and facades of the built form in Cambridge Estates and intends to carry
though these treatments where appropriate.
Municipal Plan Policies
Since the development of the Municipal Plan housing shortages have become more and more apparent.
Recent developments such as the Port of Saint John development and workforce expansion and
replenishment efforts by major employers will further call for more housing of all types especially market
and affordable rental units. In recent years there has been a general direction where minor increases in
density have been approved which will help meet the housing demand. Following is commentary with
respect to Municipal Plan policies and our conclusion regarding the proposal.

Cambridge Estates Rezoning
Two Development Sites on Cambridge Drive Extension
Responses to the Municipal Plan
Conclusion
Based on our commentary regarding the Municipal Plan and the context of the surrounding neignbourhood
we consider the proposed rezoning is justified as it fits within parameters considered for this type of proposal.
Another important consideration is the increased density will offset some considerable past and future
development costs to make the interconnection of Cambridge Drive extension with Leeds Crescent feasible.
The interconnection is required to satisfy a Section 39 condition imposed on the subject property that requires
Cambridge Drive to be extended to connect to Leeds Crescent prior to any further development of PID
55203145.

Subject:FW: #22-0208 rezoning application
Date:October 4, 2022 9:58:11 AM
Yeva Mattinson,
My name is Jose Adair myself and my wife and son currently live in Cambridge Estates in Millidgeville and are
very happy here. It was brought to our attention of an new apartment complex and a few residential lots potentially
going up if the rezoning application was to go through. We 100% support Barsa Developers Ltd, they are anamazing
company with great integrity. We would actually be interested in acquiring one of the new residential lotsif they
became available. Barsa developers and team have continued to grow our little community all while beingvery
mindful of all the people who currently dwell here. That being said with growth comes construction and I am abig
believer that this city really needs more of it as long as they are professionals in which I have full faith theseguys are
one of the best around. Just wanted to let you know they have our and the majority of everyone in our small
communities support.
Have a great day and thank you for listening:) Jose Adair Nourish NB

Dear Ms. Mattson,
Please consider this email supporting the application to rezone Cambridge Drive to an RM Mid Rise Residential
zone.
I see the building of mid rise complexes as a step forward in the provision of comfortable living accommodationsfor
individuals who no longer choose to maintain a single or semi detached dwelling. I, for one seeing myself as one
that would certainly take advantage of such a living opportunity within this beautiful neighbourhood.
As well, the Debly Family has a long standing excellent reputation in providing first class residential and
construction work in Saint John and surrounding areas for many decades.
I also believe that Saint John is sorely lacking in initiatives such as this proposed development and I ask for a
positive decision from your committee.
Regards,

I have lived in my garden home on Grantham Road since it was built, almost 12 years ago. I have
watched Kemal Debly build up the area with single family and garden homes.
Previous to this, I had a home built for me on Marlin Drive, and I sat on the Planning Commission for
a few years. This is to say, that I am not unfamiliar with building requirements that developers and
contractors must adhere to.
Kemal Debly has always built a quality home, and maintained the standards he has set for himself.
He cares about the projects he takes on, and has always finished the work when expected.
I am totally in favour of Mr. Debly expanding this subdivision further up Cambridge Drive and
connecting with Leeds. I know the buildings will be up to and probably higher than the standard
already evident in Cambridge Estates. A quality apartment would be a good addition to this area.
I hope the Planning Commission looks favourably on this application.
Sincerely,

Hi. We would like to add our voices to the disappointment to rezoning the property on Cambridge
Drive from R2 to RM. it will cause excess traffic, noise, etc.. We were under the impression that only
single family homes or garden homes would be build in this area.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We would like to voice our opposition to the proposed rezoning of Cambridge Drive from
Two Unit Residential to Mid-Rise Residential. When we bought our current home three years ago we
expected more detached and garden home development but not multi-unit construction.
Our concerns are increased traffic and possible non-resident ownership of the apartment buildings.
It appears there are over 100 parking places between the two proposed buildings which is more
than you would have if individual homes were constructed on those lots. Individually owned homes
are more likely to have pride of ownership and upkeep. With the increased demand for apartment
buildings there is a greater risk of the buildings being sold to non-area owners and a loss of control
over their upkeep. If the buildings were located more to the entrance to Cambridge Estates with
direct access to Boars Head Road our concerns would have been lessened but building apartments
inside an already developed area appears backwards for traffic concerns unless a separate access
road is constructed.
Yours truly
Loran and Heather Buckley

We are responding to your letter to the residents of Cambridge Drive in Millidgeville regarding
rezoning Cambridge Estates. My husband and I are adamantly against any project that would
devalue our property, increase population density and add undue congestion through additional
traffic and noise.
We chose Cambridge Estates specifically for the peaceful atmosphere it provides. Two new midrise
apartment buildings would put an end to that.
Many residents in the neighborhood have moved here to downsize and live quietly. This proposal
will change everything about why we moved here in the first place.
If you want to enhance this subdivision, we suggest you put your energies into developing the green
space that is primarily a water retention pond.
Consider your existing paying customers before giving away the best part of this area to new
customers.
Think of us as a unionized group of residents who deserve priority due to our seniority. You are
welcome to add additional R2 residences as was the original plan so not to change the character of
this quiet development.
Sincerely,
Faith and Herzl Kashetsky

Good Evening Yeva,
My name is Keiran Seaman and I am a resident of Cambridge Estates. I received a letter in the mail this evening
regarding rezoning two parcels of land from Two-Unit Residential (R2) to Mid Rise Residential (RM).
I am writing this letter to inform you that my partner and I are in full support of this application as we are presently
looking to sell our single family home and move into a multi family complex. We would love to stay in Cambridge
Estates; however, the option to rent is currently unavailable.
Once again, we are in full support of this application to rezone and should you have any questions, please feel free

Have a great rest of your week!

If this rezoning application is approved , a high burme of earth should be built at the end of
Cambridge street where the buildings are to be located to hide the view of the parking lot from
the present residents at the end of the street. Or the parking lot should be considered that
could be hidden between the buildings. If not feasible the following be considered:
" This earth separation could be a combination of boulders, earth, trees and high scrubs or
just some of those items . A professional should design this. "
Consideration should also be given to designing the buildings to handle "seniors" who
might apply to rent them with an elevator and as well as balconies for all renters .

ANALYSIS
Background
On December 15, 2014, Common Council adopted the current Zoning By-Law (ZoneSJ). This
new Zoning By-Law was the first deliverable of the One-Stop Development Shop, grounded in
best practices in land use planning and entrenching our community standards as promoted by
s 2012 Municipal Development Plan (PlanSJ). The Zoning By-Law is considered a
state-of-the-art document which allows a more permissive approach for development, a more
streamlined approach to development approvals, and takes a supportive approach to housing
intensification, implementing the land use direction established in the Municipal Plan.
Since adoption, there have been amendments to the By-Law focused on three areas:
response to development applications;
Provincial and Federal legislative changes such as cannabis legalization; and
staff-initiated amendments to address initiatives including:
o Green Energy,
o Increased flexibility for Garden Suites including their expansion to rural areas,
o Development Permits,
o Temporary Car Shelters,
o ,
o Commercial Recreational Facilities in Commercial and Industrial Zones,
o Increased provision for mixed use including multi residential development in the
Centres, and
o Implementation of the Central Peninsula Secondary Plan.
focus on issues
such as operationalizing the implementation of the One-Stop Development Shop and as a
means of continuous improvement responding to trends in urban planning and land
development.
City Staff have prepared a series of amendments for adoption that seek to implement
continuous improvement, reduce red tape for residents and the development community,and to
streamline the processing and review of development applications. The proposed series of
ies of Perform, Grow and Belong.
lan, the current round of
amendments presented in this report also include amendments focusing on increasing housing
affordability including:
Elimination of minimum floor areas for dwelling units in multiple unit dwellings.
Allowing crisis care facilities, including shelters, as a permitted use in additional zones.
Streamlining regulations relating to the conversion of larger single and two-unit dwellings
into multiple unit dwellings.
Page 2of 9
City of Saint JohnZoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsOctober 7, 2022
Additional amendments will be brought forward to Council in 2023 related to the implementation
Action Plan and other improvements to municipal land use
regulation identified by Community Planning.
An overview of the proposed amendments is provided below:
Public Washrooms
An amendment proposed to
specifically include Public Washrooms provided by the City. This aligns with the trend across
Canada to provide enhanced opportunities for the provision of municipal public washrooms.
Public Washroom facilities would be added to the list of specific facilities associated with the
defined use.

variance to allow for a single storey building height.
Staff recommend that the requirement for a minimum building height of two stories be deleted
from the Park zone. This would be accomplished by the deletion of paragraph 14.1(4) (i) of the
Zoning By-Law.
Barrier Free Parking
Section 4.2 of the Zoning By-Law outlines standards for barrier free parking within the City.
Barrier Free parking is also regulated by Provincial legislation through the Barrier-Free Design
Building Code Regulation (Regulation, 2021-3 of the Building Code Administration Act).
Given this matter is subject to Provincial regulation, it is recommended that Subsection 4.2(4)
be deleted and replaced with the following to defer to the Provincial regulations.
4.2(4) BARRIER FREE PARKING
(a) Barrier-free parking shall be in accordance with the Barrier-Free Design Building
Code Regulation, Regulation, 2021-3 of the Building Code Administration Act, and
where there is conflict between this By-law and the Regulation, the Regulation
including amendments subsequent thereto shall prevail.
Excavating of Land
Section 9.7 of the Zoning By-Law provides for the limited filling and excavating of land. An
amendment is proposed to correct a typographical error in Subparagraph 9.7(2)(b) (v) which
should refer to excavating instead of filling of land. Subparagraph 9.7(2)(b) (v) is proposed to be
deleted and replaced with the following:
Page 3of 9
City of Saint JohnZoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsOctober 7, 2022
(v) The Development Officer has indicated approval of the excavating of land in the
form of a development permit.
Regional Commercial (CR) Ground Floor Areas
The Regional Commercial (CR) zone currently has a minimum gross floor area requirement of
3000 square metres for main buildings. Staff are proposing to delete this requirement from the
zone standards to allow for the construction of smaller buildings as-of-right.
Many lots in the areas zoned Regional Commercial (CR) in the Fairville Boulevard and the
McAllister Regional Retail Centres, while large enough for the construction of a sizeable
commercial building, are not of a sufficient size to allow for the construction of a 3000 square
metre building and associated site development. In addition to the lot pattern, many recently
constructed retail buildings have floor areas below this 3000 square metre threshold and have
required a variance to be developed including the Starbucks, A&W, and Mr. Lube
Development Permits
Section 2.11 of the By-Law outlines the provisions related to the applicability and issuance of
Development Permits. The scope of these permits includes changes to the use of land,
buildings, and structures where a Building Permit is not required, and signage
Changes to the Building Code Administration Act and associated regulations will exempt smaller
building projects from requiring a Building Permit issued by the municipality. As a result,
Development Permits will be required more frequently to ensure that these projects, such as
larger accessory buildings, which currently require a building permit are located and constructed
in accordance with the requirements of the Zoning By-Law.
Staff are proposing additional requirements relating to the Development Permit application to
require a site plan and to increase the fee from $120 to $250. The requirement for a site plan
will place the onus on the applicant to provide the necessary information for Community
Planning staff to review the proposed development with respect to the standards of the Zoning
By-Law. Increasing the fee to $250 will respond to costs associated with any site visits
conducted by Community Planning staff related to the application
As a comparative example, with the current requirement for a Building Permit, fees associated
with the Building Permit application for a 24 foot by 24-foot garage would be $ 324 with no
requirement for a Development Permit as it is included in the Building Permit process. With the
proposed changes to the Building Code Administration Act and associated regulations, a project
of this magnitude would be exempt from the requirement for a Building Permit and only require
a Development Permit under the Zoning By-Law, as the project will not be reviewed for
compliance with the National Building Code. With the proposed $ 250 fee conformity with the
-Law will still be reviewed and the applicant will have a lower fee.
Page 4of 9
City of Saint JohnZoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsOctober 7, 2022
Subsection 2.11 (c), relating to application requirements for a Development Permit is currently
worded as follows:
(c) The Development Officer shall accept for consideration an application for a
development permit when:
(i) A completed application, in a form prescribed by the Development Officer,
has been received;
(ii) The information submitted appears correct and adequate to determine
compliance with the standards of this By-law and the Municipal
Development Plan; and
(iii) The full application fee of $110.00 has been received by the Development
Officer, but where the proposed development requires a building permit,
no fee shall be required for the development permit.
The By-law Amendment proposes the following wording related to the site plan requirements
and revised fee:
(c) The Development Officer shall accept for consideration an application for a
development permit when:
(i) A completed application, in a form prescribed by the Development Officer,
has been received;
(ii) A site plan has been received showing the following information:
(A) the shape and dimensions of the lot where the development is
located;
(B) the location of all existing and proposed buildings on the property
and their distance from each other and property lines;
(C) the height, number of storeys, location, and use of existing and
proposed buildings and structures;
(D) the location and dimension of all existing and proposed driveways
or other access locations, parking spaces, loading spaces,
easements, right of ways, and utilities;
(E) site servicing information including water, sanitary and storm
services, where applicable;
(F) the location and dimensions of all existing and proposed driveway
culverts;
(G) the direction of stormwater flow and location and grade of surface
drainage features and when the lot on which the proposed work is
to take place has an approved grading plan, a proposed rough
grading plan must be included with the site plan.
(H) any landscaped area required by this By-Law;
(I) the location of any natural features, watercourse(s), flood plain
and wetland areas and the location of any existing or proposed
building or structure in relation to the natural features,
watercourse(s), flood plain or wetland;
(J) the location and dimensions of any existing and proposed

signage; and
(K) any other information the Development Officer deems necessary
to determine whether or not the proposed development conforms
to the requirements of this By-law or other requirements.
(iii) The information submitted appears correct and adequate to determine
compliance with the standards of this By-Law and the Municipal
Development Plan; and
(iv) The full application fee, outlined in Schedule B, has been received by the
Development Officer, but where the proposed development requires a
building permit, no fee shall be required for the development permit.
An amendment to Schedule B Fees is also proposed related to the $250 fee. Fees related to
annual Pit and Quarry permits will remain unchanged at $1100 as outlined in paragraph
12.4(8)(m) of the Zoning By-Law.
Amendments focused on Affordable Housing
Staff also note the current Zoning By-Law provides a supportive and permissive zoning
framework related to housing through the provision of secondary suites such as basement
apartments and garden suites (small self-contained dwelling units in a building separate from a
one-unit dwelling) and continuing to allow for conversions of larger single unit dwellings into
multiple unit dwellings. These approaches eliminate the exclusivity associated with typical
single--
The current round of amendments presented in this report also include amendments focusing
Plan. Additional amendments will be brought forward to Council in 2023 related to the
land use regulation identified by Community Planning. Amendments in the current round of
proposed changes focusing on affordability include the following:
Converted Dwellings
Both the One-Unit Residential (R1), and Two-Unit Residential (R2) zones list a converted
dwelling as a permitted use. These are buildings, originally constructed as a one-unit dwelling or
two-unit dwelling, which have been lawfully converted into a two-unit dwelling or a multiple
dwelling.
Section 9.4 of the Zoning By-Law provides the following specific criteria to allow these
conversions, which would be accomplished through a building permit:
The building shall have been erected before January 1, 1967, as a one-unit dwelling or
two-unit dwelling containing at least ten habitable rooms;
The building shall be serviced by municipal sanitary sewer and municipal water;
One on-site parking space is provided for each dwelling unit in addition to those required
for any other uses of the lot; and
Page 6of 9
City of Saint JohnZoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsOctober 7, 2022
No bed and breakfast, garden suite, home day care, neighbourhood day care,
secondary suite, or supportive housing is permitted in any building on the lot.
Currently, paragraphs 9.4 (c) and (d) of the Zoning By-Law also require the following:
(c) Unless otherwise required by the Saint John Building By-law, access, and egress
to dwelling units shall be from an interior common hallway;
(d) There shall not be any change to the exterior appearance of the building that
would indicate the building is a converted dwelling;
Staff are recommending that paragraph 9.4 (c) be deleted, and that paragraph 9.4 (d) be
amended as follows:
(d) There shall not be any change to the exterior appearance of the front or flankage
façades of the building that would indicate the building is a converted dwelling;
The proposed changes to paragraphs (c) and (d) would allow for converted dwellings to have
exterior access to individual units from the side or rear of the building on façades of the building
which do not face a Public Street. This would preserve the architectural integrity of the street-
facing façades of the building while providing additional flexibility in accessing units in the
converted dwelling.
changes play a role in supporting housing affordability in providing for the adaptive reuse of
larger, older dwellings.
Garden Suites
Garden suites, a dwelling unit established in a separate building on the same lot as a one-unit
dwelling or a mobile or mini-home, are currently limited to a floor area of 70 square metres. This
maximum floor area is proposed to be increased to 75 square metres to provide increased
flexibility for the development and design of these dwelling units and to better align with
comparator municipalities.
Minimum Unit Sizes in Multiple Unit Dwellings
dential zones, High-Rise Residential (RH), Mid-Rise Residential (RM),
Low-Rise Residential (RL), and Urban Centre Residential (RC) have minimum gross floor areas
for dwelling units in a multiple unit dwelling. These minimum floor areas are based on the
number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit and range as follows:
Three or more bedrooms - 60 square metres to 69 square metres
Two Bedrooms - 50 square metres to 60 square metres
One Bedroom/Bachelor - 35 square metres to 41 square metres.
Page 7of 9
City of Saint JohnZoning By-Law: Administrative AmendmentsOctober 7, 2022
Staff are recommending eliminating these requirements as a means of promoting affordability,
smaller footprint dwelling units and increased design flexibility.
Crisis Care Facilities
The Zoning By-Law currently permits Crisis Care Facilities in certain zones. These are
establishments such as shelter facilities providing short-term accommodation to persons in
crisis who requiring immediate lodging. These facilities may also involve 24-hour supervision
and personal support services.
These are currently permitted in the Uptown Commercial (CU), Neighbourhood Community
Facility (CFN), and Major Community Facility (CFM) zones. They are also permitted in the
Urban Centre Residential (RC) zone subject to a 60-metre spacing requirement from a day care
centre, rooming house, supportive facility, or another crisis care facility and subject to a limit of
18 residents. These are Conditions of Use and cannot be varied by Staff or the Committee and
would require a Text Amendment to the Zoning By-Law or site-specific rezoning to waive.
To provide increased flexibility to social agencies in providing additional housing for vulnerable
residents of the city, as the winter approaches, it is proposed to expand location options for
these facilities. This involves allowing a Crisis Care Facility as a permitted use in the following
zones:
Mid-Rise Residential (RM)
High-Rise Residential (RH)
Commercial Corridor (CC)
General Commercial (CG)
Regional Retail Centre (CR).
Staff also propose an amendment to remove the 18 resident cap and 60-metre spacing
requirement in the Urban Centre Residential (RC) zone for Crisis Care Facilities.
These facilities are administered by social agencies, often with the involvement of one or more
levels of government, which provides a degree of oversight regarding the need, location, and
operation of these facilities. If desired, a more detailed review of regulations relating to shelters
and crisis care facilities can be undertaken in conjunction with future amendments related to
supportive housing and other housing initiatives.
Conclusion
The proposed amendments conform to the policy direction in the Municipal Plan and are
necessary to clarify the provisions of the Zoning By-Law and provide better customer service to
the citizens of Saint John.
ALTERNATIVES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
No other alternatives have been considered. It should be noted that any further changes to the
Zoning By-Law would require consideration by both the Planning Advisory Committee and
Common Council as required by the Community Planning Act.

RECOMMENDATION
Your City Manager recommends Council authorize 1st and 2nd Readings of the
Amendment to the Saint John Traffic By-law, By-law Number MV-10.1,in the form
attached toM&C 2022-343.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this report is torecommend to Council that the Saint John Traffic
By-law be amended to remove the alternate sideon-street parking on Sydney
Street from Broadview Avenue to Vulcan Street and that this section of Sydney
Street be designated as no parking anytime. This Amendment to the Saint John
Traffic By-law willallow for the extension of the Harbour Passage multi-use trail
on Sydney Street from Broad Street to Tin Can Beach.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
N/A
REPORT
The approved 2022General Fund Capital Program includesfunding forthe
extension of the Harbour Passage multi-use trail along Sydney Street from Broad
Street to Tin Can Beach. The design of this extension is underway and it is planned
that this work will go out to tenderin early 2023.
- 2 -
During the design phase, the section of Sydney Street from Broadview Avenue to
Vulcan Street was identified as having several constraints that affect the design
and installation of Harbour Passage. These constraints include a narrow right-of-
way, an existing building that is located immediately adjacent to the property line
on the east side of the street and an existing steep slope and utility poles on the
west side of the street.
In order to allow for the installation of the Harbour Passage multi-use trail, staff
have determined that it will be necessary to reduce the asphalt travel lanes on this
section of Sydney Street from the current width of approximately 7.5m to a
reduced width of 7.0m. There is currently only curbing on the east side of Sydney
Street from Broadview Avenue to Vulcan Street. New concrete curbing would be
installed on both sides of the street as part of the planned work.
Sydney Street from Broadview Avenue to Vulcan Street has two-way traffic and
alternate side on-street parking is currently permitted year-round. With the
reduction of the street width to 7.0m and the installation of concrete curbing on
both sides of the street, there is only room to provide two 3.5m wide travel lanes.
Based on current design standards, staff believes it is appropriate to remove the
alternate side on-street parking and designate this section of Sydney Street as no
parking anytime.
Staff have met with the owner of #30 Broadview Avenue as
representatives of #274 Sydney Street to review the proposed design as well as to
solicit feedback on the proposed removal of the alternate side on-street parking.
These properties would be most greatly affected by the proposed parking
restriction. No objections to the removal of alternate side on-street parking were
raised by either party.
As indicated above, should Council proceed with first and second reading of the
proposed Amendment to the Saint John Traffic By-law, staff would plan to proceed
to tender the project in early 2023. It is staff intention to come back to Council
for the third reading of the proposed Amendment to the Saint John Traffic By-law
once the contract to complete the work has been awarded by Council and the
successful contractor has mobilized to the site.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
ies for GROW, MOVE, GREEN AND BELONG
as the project includes extending the existing Harbour Passage multi-use trail
- 3 -
along Sydney Street. This extension will connect the existing Harbour Passage
infrastructure to Tin Can Beach at the end of Sydney Street.
SERVICE AND FINANCIAL OUTCOMES
Adopting this Amendment to the Saint John Traffic By-law will allow for the
extension of the Harbour Passage multi-use trail on Sydney Street from Broad
Street to Tin Can Beach.
The removal of the alternate side on-street parking on Sydney Street from
Broadview Avenue to Vulcan Street will result in the loss of 8 10 potential parking
spaces, depending on which alternating side of the street parking would be
permitted. The Parking Division of Public Works and Transportation Services was
consulted on this proposed Amendment to the Saint John Traffic By-law and no
objections or concerns were raised.
As communicated with development of MoveSJ, choices between use and
function of City streets need to be made from time to time given the limited width
available. In the case of this section of Sydney Street, the planned street upgrades
will result in further road narrowing, with associated traffic calming and asphalt
inventory reduction benefits, as well as additional space made available for
pedestrians. The trade-off is the loss of on-street parking spaces. Although
indications are the loss of on-street parking is not expected to be detrimental,
associated loss of this opportunity should be acknowledged and considered with
the associated positive trade-off outcomes.
INPUT FROM OTHER SERVICE AREAS AND STAKEHOLDERS
Public Works and Transportation Services provided input.
Staff met with the adjacent property owners/representatives of #274 Sydney
Street and #30 Broadview Avenue and no objections to the proposed removal of

RECOMMENDATION
The Finance Committee recommends that Common Councilapprove the 2023
Utility Fund OperatingBudget and proceedwith first and second reading of the
amendment to the Water and Sewerage By-Law, By-Law No. M-16.
The following resolutionsare inorder provided Council is supportive of the
recommended attached budget.
It is recommended that Common Council:
1. w9{h\[9 that the estimated revenue for the Water and Sewerage Utility for the
year 2023in the amount of $50,004,453
2. w9{h\[9 that the estimate of expenses for the Water and Sewerage Utility for
the year 2023in the amount of $50,004,453
3. Give first and second reading to the Amendments to the Water & Sewerage By-
Law attached to this report dated November 8, 2022E
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2023 Utility Fund Operating Budget will represent the fifth year in a row that
will see no rate increase for ratepayers that use both water and sewer services.
These ratepayers include both flat rate customers which will see the annual cost
remain the same at $1,428 per year and metered customers will see no change in
the cost per cubic meter and meter charges.
The budget also includes rates for the Industrial Raw Water customers who will
see various levels of increases in the rates compared to the approved 2022
Industrial Raw Water rates.
- 2 -
The Utility has continued to focus on all areas of its business to reduce costs in
2022. Rate stabilization has been achieved for rate payers for the past five years
despite the Utility still experiencing declining revenues and increasing costs in
several areas.
PREVIOUS RESOLUTION
Finance Committee Meeting November 3, 2022 It is recommended that the
Finance Committee approve the 2023 Utility Fund Operating Budget and forward
to Common Council for approval and first and second reading of the Water and
Sewerage Bylaw amendments
REPORT
The 2023 Utility Fund Operating Budget will represent the fifth year in a row that
will see no rate increase for ratepayers that use both water and sewer services.
These ratepayers include both flat rate customers who will see the annual cost
remain the same at $1,428 per year and metered customers will see no change in
the cost per cubic meter and meter charges.
tƚƷğĬƌĻ wĻǝĻƓǒĻ
Overall potable revenue for 2023 is budgeted at $37,550,000 (2022 -
$36,920,000). The Utility has experienced a reduction in flat rate accounts over
the past several years, however it is anticipated the loss in accounts
has leveled and 2023 will see a minor increase.
Meter rate revenue is from metered customers and are largely commercial,
manufacturing, malls, schools, restaurants, hotels, and apartment buildings.
COVID 19 has had a negative impact on many of these businesses, however
throughout 2022 revenue is trending positive. The Utility is being conservative in
predicting water consumption for 2023, however is estimating an increase in
consumption as the recovery continues.
The Utility is also recommending $421,492 be transferred from the operating
reserves. There is $750,000 budgeted in 2023 for the dredging of Lancaster Lagoon
and the operating budget cannot absorb this cost and hold the rates stable. This
is a one-time cost that is not expected to reoccur for approximately a decade and
therefore the one-time use of funds from the operating reserve is appropriate.
The balance of revenues includes the fire protection levy, storm sewer levy,
interest revenue, other revenue, and prior year surplus.
tƚƷğĬƌĻ 9ǣƦĻƓķźƷǒƩĻƭ
The Utility operating expenditures increased by $1,101,502 or 2.66% over 2022.
Wages and benefits increased by $159,729 or 1.51% despite the general fund
- 3 -
setting the wage escalation rate at 5.35% due positive assessment growth. This is
due to further attrition and position reduction through 2022. The largest driver in
expenditures is the $750,000 budgeted for the Lancaster Lagoon large scale
dredging, an operational project that is necessary before capital improvements to
the Lagoon are made as part of the Utility Capital Program. The balance of
inflationary increases has been offset though other savings and efficiencies.
The Utility still has a large amount of expenses that cannot be reduced further to
provide water and sewer services. Costs such as annual payments for the water
treatment plant capital and operating, cost of operating water and wastewater
pump stations, sewer treatment plants, debt payments, electricity, property
taxes, chemicals and insurance are just some examples of areas that need to be
funded to provide services.
There are several initiatives that will be undertaken in the 2023 budget. There will
be leak detection done on 33% of the east water distribution system which may
identify leaks to be repaired to improve water efficiency and maintain a highly
reliable water system. An intelligent hydrant pilot program is being undertaken to
help identify potential leaks while generating alerts to staff for follow up. The fire
hydrant and paint program will continue into 2023 with approximately 25% of the
2,100 hydrants repainted and inspection of 35% of the hydrants.
The budget includes, as mentioned earlier, significant investment in Lancaster
Lagoon, along with biofilter media replacement at the Eastern Wastewater
Treatment Facility. There is increased funding in trenchless technology, an
efficient and cost-effective repair solution as well as security upgrades at the three
large wastewater treatment facilities.
The budget includes $4,867,800 million in pay as you go (capital from operating).
This will allow the Utility to complete its 2023 capital program without any
borrowing. There has been a lot of success in obtaining funding for Capital projects
as can be seen in the proposed 2023 Capital Utility Budget. The funding will allow
the Utility to focus on climate change initiatives, sewer separation and the renewal
of underground infrastructure in coordination with the General Fund.
LƓķǒƭƷƩźğƌ wğǞ ğƷĻƩ
The Utility budget also includes the expenditures and revenues for the four
customers who receive raw untreated water. The bylaw rates include.
Operational cost to provide the service,
Contributions to asset replacement/asset management,
Rate stabilization reserves,
New debt associated with the industrial system deliveringthe service,
Previous debt associated with being a member of the water
distribution system.
- 4 -
In summary, the City set the rates to cover all operating costs associated with
providing raw water to each customer, recover past debt associated with each
system and include a charge for future asset replacement. There is also a charge
to some customers to cover the cost of assets currently being replaced, along with
funding to a rate stabilization reserve for each customer.
Rates for each of the four customers are seeing various degrees of increases. Some
of the increases are a result of lower than consumption estimates or higher cost
of service.
Overall, the consumption rates will increase for each customer as noted below.

/ƚƓĭƌǒƭźƚƓ
The fifth straight rate freeze for 2023 is a positive note for potable ratepayers
particularly with the current economic environment and inflationary pressures.
The Utility has continued to focus on cost reductions, continuous improvement,
finding efficiencies, and process improvements in 2022, as well as debt
management, leveraging of funds from other levels of Government and pay as you
go (no borrowing) for all capital expenditures.
The Utility will continue to focus on the various cost control initiatives. However,
a major issue the Utility cannot control is its revenue base. As growth continues
in the City, the Utility often bears a large cost for infrastructure related to growth
but will see very little revenue in comparison to the tax assessment the City
receives.
Committee, work has commenced on preparing for 10-year long-term financial
plan and work on it will be completed in 2023. The document will provide the
financial road map for the Utility.
STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
The proposed 2023
priorities demonstrated though the commitment to address infrastructure risk
associated with climate change, focusing on its leak detection program that helps
eliminate water waste. The Utility continues to find operational efficiencies
through continuous improvement, focus on ensuring service objectives are being
met and managing the finances of the Utility to achieve rate stabilization for rate
payers.

2023 Utility Fund Budget
The Utility has continued to be aggressive in cutting costs, finding efficiencies and managing assets over the last 5 years.The cost cutting measures such as staff reduction, efficiency
gains and optimization of operations has allowed for residential and commercial rates to be stabilized over the last 5 years.Utility faces risk around trying to balance revenue declines
and increasing costs for goods and services with continued cost cutting measures without impacting the level of service.Revenue growth (through infills) and new commercial businesses
is critical for the sustainability of rate stabilization.

Topic of Presentation:
Financial support for We Believe -Saint John
Purpose for Presentation (what is the ask of Council):
I would like to meet with the Growth Committee to talk about financial support for Canada's largest
youth event that was held for the first time in 2018 and planning to be held on May 18, 2023 at TD
Station. This is a large event that in 2018 brought 8000 students and educators to TD station and
over 80,000 watching live stream across North America and beyond.
Background Information:
We Believe Saint John is a youth-led, grassroots community initiative based in Saint John, New
Brunswick that engages students in volunteerism, leadership, and social action through year-round
activities. We Believe is an international celebration to motivate students to give back both locally
and globally to causes that they are passionate about.
We Believe took place for the first time on May 17, 2018 at TD Station with more than 8,000 live-
audience members and over 80,000 students watching via livestream. The students who
participated were in grades 5 to 12 and come from all across the Maritime provinces and the state of
Maine. We Believe now takes place every second year.
Students are empowered to be the change they desire to see in the world. As you may know, our
event scheduled for May 2022 is postponed due to the everchanging and uncertain circumstances
regarding COVID-19. That being said, our event has been rescheduled for May 18 2023 at TD Station
in Saint John, New Brunswick. Under the guidance of officials, we will have appropriate safety
procedures in place for We Believe 2023. This will likely be the first large gathering for most of our
students and educators since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
WE Believe 2023 wants to celebrate the tenacity and perseverance of our communities and
encourage everyone to support and give back to those who have worked tirelessly to help us get
through these uncertain times while keeping our spirits high.
I want to thank you for your continued support as we are
preparing this incredible event to empower and motivate our youth.
