BACKGROUND
A Business Improvement Area (BIA) is an association
of property owners and businesses within a specified geographic area who join
together, with official approval of the City under Section 204 of the Ontario Municipal Act 2001, in a
self-help program aimed at stimulating local business. BIAs are funded by a special levy paid by
property owners and tenants within the designated area. This money is used in an ongoing effort to
draw more prospective customers to the BIA by improving the attractiveness of
the area and promoting it as a good place to shop, obtain services, visit and
do business.
Once a BIA is approved by City
Council, every business within its boundaries automatically becomes a member.
There are no exceptions, under the principle that all who benefit should be
required to bear their fair share of the cost of the program. While a BIA arises from the retail and
professional activities of a main street or commercial area, it has a profound
effect on the surrounding area. It serves as an economic and social anchor,
helping to stabilize, revitalize, and enhance the local community.
There are now more than 230 BIAs in
place across Ontario. They vary in size from less than 60 businesses and
property owners to more than 2000. The
BIA concept has also spread beyond the boundaries of Ontario. More than 1500
communities have adopted the concept across the United States and in most
provinces in Canada. The City of Ottawa
currently has 13 BIAs that represent over 3400 businesses.
The Economic Development Division
has been working with the Glebe Business Group to establish a Glebe BIA that
includes the high profile Queensway and Bank Street commercial corridors:
between Lyon street and Queen Elizabeth Driveway along Chamberlain avenue,
Isabella Street and Pretoria Avenue; and between the Queensway and Queen
Elizabeth Driveway along the Bank Street corridor, including properties on
intersecting streets and Lansdowne Park (Document 1). The committee is comprised of business operators and owners in
the described area. The members have
been actively promoting the area and exploring the idea of establishing a BIA
for over a year.
Economic Development staff have
participated in public meetings, providing details on the process of
establishing a BIA and on the support programs offered to BIAs by the City.
Councillor Clive Doucet, the local Councillor for the area, has been very
supportive of the initiatives of the Steering Committee and is a strong
advocate for the creation of a BIA.
The Glebe Business Group has
submitted a letter (Document 2) to the City Clerk's office confirming that they
have successfully undertaken the public consultation process recommended by the
City, and are formally requesting that City Council adopt a by-law to establish
a BIA. Pursuant to the Ontario Municipal Act, 2001, Section
210, the next step in the process is a requirement that Council authorize the
City Clerk to send out a notice of intention to designate the area as a BIA to
all property owners in the affected area (Document 3). The property owner then must within 30 days
after the notice is mailed give a copy of the notice to each tenant of the
property to which the notice relates who is required to pay all or part of the
taxes on the property.
For the purpose of defeating the
by-law, the municipality’s period for receiving sufficient objections is 60
days from the latest day of mailing of the notice by the municipality. Under
Section 210 of the Ontario Municipal Act,
2001 Council cannot pass a proposed BIA by-law if the municipality receives
written objections by at least one-third of the persons entitled to notice who
are responsible for at least one-third of the tax on property in the proposed
BIA.
As a result of recent Bill 130
amendments to the Municipal Act, 2001, BIAs are now "local boards" of
the municipality. As part of these amendments, the municipality may vary
traditional BIA provisions in the Municipal Act, 2001 to meet the requirements
of local BIAs. The municipality may also establish codes of conduct to ensure
accountability and transparency for its local boards. Staff will continue to
advise existing and new BIAs on future measures undertaken pursuant to these
amendments, including the application of accountability and transparency
policies to BIAs.
DISCUSSION
While well known to, and patronized by the Glebe and
Ottawa South communities, the Glebe business district has not maximized its
potential as a commercial destination within the greater Ottawa area through
collective marketing, promotions and special events. Unlike most main - street and commercial business districts in
Ottawa, the Glebe has not established a Business Improvement Area and Board of
Management. The Glebe business district
therefore does not have the ability to levy area business properties and
tenancies to support joint marketing or beautification initiatives or advocacy
efforts and related staff resources.
Nor has it been represented on civic matters by a formal organization
and dedicated staff.
Accordingly, the Glebe business
district has not been included in cross-promotional tools supported by City and
collective BIA funding, such as the Ottawa BIAs brochure, City website listings
and proposed e-commerce strategies.
And, it has not had formal, dedicated representation on such key issues
as the pending Bank Street reconstruction work and potential streetscape
enhancements.
In order to maximize the potential
of the Glebe business district, the Glebe Business Group (GBG) now wishes to
establish a BIA and Board of Management and a levy to retain supporting staff
and undertake collective advocacy, marketing and improvement initiatives. The proposed Glebe BIA Board of Management
will retain an Executive Director and identify priority business strategies and
establish related Board and working committees to address those
priorities. The BIA will work closely
with its members, the Glebe Community Association, the Capital Ward Councillor,
City of Ottawa staff and various organizations to address priority matters in a
proactive, strategic and collaborative fashion.
It is anticipated that the
priorities of the Glebe BIA will be as follows:
·
in the
short term: matters of advocacy, particularly related to the Bank Street
reconstruction, Lansdowne Park design competition, parking management, branding
and positioning of the BIA district, seasonal decorations, and inclusion of the
BIA within joint Ottawa BIA initiatives and tools, such as the Graffiti
taskforce and Ottawa BIAs brochure, web listings and promotions;
·
in the
mid term: district-specific marketing, special promotions and events,
collaboration/strategic alliances with other agencies, such as Lansdowne Park,
Ottawa Tourism, the Ottawa Business Advisory Committee and the Ottawa Chamber
of Commerce; and
·
in the
longer term, visitor/tourism oriented marketing and strategic initiatives, such
as the revitalization of Lansdowne Park.
The establishment of the Glebe BIA
and Board of Management will enable Glebe businesses to maximize their level of
representation respecting key issues and initiatives, develop core marketing
tools such as a website and website listings, leverage physical and service
improvements, elevate the profile of the business district and attract more
consumers/visitors and businesses.
CONSULTATION
The Glebe business district is relatively well
connected and a number of businesses (~60) have worked cooperatively together
through a volunteer association, the Glebe Business Group (GBG) and ad hoc
committees to address common issues and objectives, as required. There is a strong sense among GBG members
that a larger, formal BIA is now required to represent all area business and
property owners, alleviate volunteer fatigue and address such key challenges
and opportunities as the pending Bank Street reconstruction.
As a result, the GBG struck a Steering Committee to assess options for
enhanced business representation and development. With funding support from the Economic Development Division, it
subsequently retained a consultant to assess the option of forming a BIA. The consultant undertook a series of
stakeholder interviews to identify key issues and gauge support for
establishing a BIA, determined by-law requirements and best practices for
forming a BIA and undertook a comparative analysis of existing Ottawa BIAs. A
special flyer was prepared and directly distributed to all GBG members,
outlining challenges facing the street, the role of a BIA and requesting their
attendance at a special meeting February 7, 2007 for a presentation and vote on
pursuing formation of a BIA.
The consultant findings and committee recommendations were presented at
the February 7th meeting, along with comments from a former Executive Director
of the ByWard Market BIA and input from City staff. At the conclusion of the meeting, the members voted unanimously
(35-0) in support of the following motion:
"that a BIA is the best option to represent the interests of the
Glebe, and to move forward and begin the process of forming a Business
Improvement Area in the Glebe".
The Consultant then undertook extensive site visits and research and
developed a comprehensive database of Glebe commercial properties and
businesses; and proposed parameters for the BIA, which were endorsed by the
Steering Committee. From September to November 2007, a meeting was held with
the Ward Councillor, an interview conducted with the Glebe Report newspaper, a
further presentation made to the GBG and a newsletter and survey mailed to all
property owners and distributed to and discussed with area businesses by
Steering Committee members. A final open house meeting and presentation was
held December 11, 2007 in the Glebe.
Direct consultations with and survey responses from commercial property
and business owners in the Glebe, as well as discussion at the Glebe Business
Group and open house meetings indicate that there is a strong level of support
within the Glebe business community for establishing the Glebe BIA. Approximately eighty potential members of
the proposed Glebe BIA (commercial property and business owners, some which own
multiple properties or businesses) have confirmed their support for establishing
the BIA. The Glebe Community Association
also supports formation of the BIA.
At the October 10th Glebe Business Group meeting and the December 11th
open house meeting, the proposed framework for the Glebe BIA was presented,
including the proposed boundaries, recommendations for an annual budget of
$200,000.00 and action priorities for the new Board of Management and staff.
Economic Development and Finance staff have consulted regularly with
representatives from the GBG and their Consultant leading up to their formal
request to the City to designate a BIA.
The Steering Committee and Staff have also consulted with the Capital
Ward Councillor who strongly supports the designation.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
BIAs are funded by a special levy to commercial and
industrial property owners and their tenants within the designated area based
on the yearly budget requirement submitted by the BIAs Board of Management. The
Financial Services Unit will be responsible for providing resources to the BIA
and will be able to do so through existing resources and efficiencies.
Funds are available for mail-out costs within the existing 2008 Economic
Development Division budget

Attention: Pierre
Pagé, City Clerk
Dear Mr. Pagé,
Re: Request to Form a Glebe BIA
Please accept this letter as a formal
request to designate a Business Improvement Area (BIA) and establish a BIA
Board of Management for the Glebe under section 204. (1) of the Municipal Act,
2001.
This formal request for a BIA is the result of a year of preparations and consultations with hundreds of Glebe commercial property and business interests through direct discussions, general and focus meetings, written material (including newsletters, a comprehensive survey and promotional poster) and interviews with the Glebe Report community newspaper. The Councillor for Capital Ward and the Glebe Community Association are also very supportive of a establishing a Glebe BIA. The overall conclusion from these consultations was to proceed formally with an application to designate the BIA.
The framework for discussions with potential Glebe BIA members included addressing the proposed BIA boundaries, annual budget and priorities for action. The proposed boundaries capture the high profile Queensway and Bank Street commercial corridors in the Glebe and their connection to the major attractions and activities of the Rideau Canal and Lansdowne Park. The boundary extends west-east from Lyon Street along Chamberlain Avenue, Isabella Street and Pretoria Avenue to Queen Elizabeth Driveway/the Rideau Canal; and north-south from the Queensway along Bank Street to the Bank Street Canal Bridge, including commercial properties along side streets and Lansdowne Park.
The annual budget recommended for the Glebe BIA is $200,000.00. This is lower than the budgets of comparable established BIAs in Ottawa (such as Westboro and Preston Street BIAs) but was viewed as sufficient to address the initial staffing requirements and action priorities of a new Glebe BIA.
…2
The recommended action priorities for the Glebe BIA for the short term include: matters of advocacy, particularly related to the pending major reconstruction of Bank Street and the Lansdowne Park Design Competition; parking management; branding and positioning of the Glebe business district; seasonal decorations; and inclusion of the BIA within joint Ottawa BIA initiatives, such as the anti-graffiti program and Ottawa BIAs brochure, web listings and promotions.
Priorities for the longer term include: niche market development; special promotions and events; collaboration, such as with Lansdowne Park, Ottawa Tourism, the Ottawa Business Advisory Committee and Ottawa Chamber of Commerce; visitor/tourism oriented marketing; advancement of strategic initiatives such as the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park; and new business attraction.
The establishment of the Glebe
BIA and Board of Management will enable Glebe business interests to maximize
their level of representation respecting key issues and initiatives, develop
core marketing tools, leverage physical and service improvements, elevate the
profile of the business district and attract more consumers/visitors and
businesses to this distinct commercial district. A Glebe BIA will also help to maintain and improve on the quality
of life in the overall Glebe community.
On behalf of the Steering
Committee, I would request that you process this BIA application immediately
and keep the committee apprised at key points, as the application follows its
course to completion. Your assistance
with this important business development initiative is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Greg Best

Mayor O’Brien noted that Councillor Wilkinson had questions with respect to the inclusion of Lansdowne Park within the boundaries of this new BIA.
Councillor Wilkinson indicated she had spoken with staff and had her concerns addressed, though she felt it would be useful for all members of Committee to hear the answer.
Mr. D. Cox, Consultant, Economic Development, noted the Councillor’s question had related to whether or not there would be any costs to the City in regards to Lansdowne Park being included in the BIA boundary. He explained that BIA levies only applied to commercial and industrial properties so there would be no cost to the City. However, there would be costs to commercial tenants on the property.
Councillor Desroches wondered if the City should hold off on creating any new BIAs until it had a clear position on the new requirements and expectations introduced under Bill 130 in terms of accountability and reporting. Mr. Cox explained that staff had been working with the existing BIAs in order to assist them in meeting the new requirements and that, as new BIAs were created, staff would work with the new Board(s) to also help them meeting the new requirements. He referenced some recently expressed interest in forming BIAs across the City and submitted that the new regulations did not preclude the City from moving forward with that momentum.
Ms. C. Lindquist, Mr. L. McGahern and Mr. J. McKeen had registered to speak in support of this item however, in light of members’ willingness to approve the recommendations, they did not address Committee.
That the Corporate Services and Economic
Development Committee recommend Council:
1. Designate the area
described by Document 1 as a Business Improvement Area (BIA) under Section 204
of the Ontario Municipal Act, 2001;
2. Authorize and direct
the City Clerk to send out a notice of Council's intention to pass a by-law
designating the area, as defined in Document 1, as a Business Improvement Area,
in accordance with Section 210 of the Ontario
Municipal Act, 2001;
3. Authorize and direct
the City Solicitor to:
(i) Prepare a by-law to
designate the area as a Business Improvement Area, as described in Document 1,
to be named the "Glebe Business Improvement Area";
(ii) Prepare a by-law to
establish the Board of Management of the Business Improvement Area, to be named
the "Glebe Business Improvement Area Board of Management"; and
4. Enact the two
aforementioned by-laws in accordance with section 204 of the Ontario Municipal Act, 2001, subject to
the City Clerk reporting favourably on the results of the intention to pass a
by-law designating the area referred to in Recommendation (2).
