Pressure District 2/3 Water Storage Tank Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
The Study
The City of Brantford has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study for siting a new water storage tank to service existing and future residents in the City’s Pressure District (PD) 2/3. The need for additional storage in PD 2/3 was identified in the recent City of Brantford Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Master Servicing Plan Update.
The study will evaluate various alternatives for siting a new water storage tank to address the need for additional storage within the distribution system, in addition to associated transmission watermains and modifications to existing pumping stations to meet service area demands.
The Process
The study is being conducted in accordance with Schedule ‘B’ requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment" manual (October 2000, as recently amended in 2015) which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.
How to Get Involved
The City would like anyone with an interest in this study to have an opportunity to provide input, which will help the project team in the decision-making process. A Public Information Centre (PIC) will be held in early 2022 to present the issues being addressed and opportunities being considered, study findings, and the evaluation of siting options for the new water storage tank, including the preferred recommended site, and associated infrastructure. Details of the PIC will be advertised prior to the event.

Public Notice:
The City of Brantford conducts aerial spray application to help control Spongy Moth infestations
The ‘Spongy Moth’ (Lymantria dispar dispar, also known as the gypsy moth) is a non-native defoliating insect that feeds on a variety of tree species found in southern Ontario and can be problematic in forested areas with oak dominant species such as Mohawk Park.
The public is advised that in an effort to help control Spongy Moth infestations, the City of Brantford will be conducting an aerial spray of selected problematic areas in the city with a naturally occurring insecticide. Aerial spraying will be conducted by helicopter and take place on two days between May 10 and June 10, 2022. The designated spraying areas which will be temporarily closed during spraying include Mohawk Park, Mount Hope Cemetery, Glenhyrst Gardens and Deer Park. The Wyndham Hills area will also be sprayed and residents have received notification.
The treatment being used is a biological control made from a naturally occurring bacterium found in soil and biodegrades rapidly in the environment and is non-toxic to people, animals, birds, honeybees, fish and most other insects. Two treatments will be applied, 7 to 10 days apart, and will be performed by helicopter, weather permitting, between 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The treatment is called 48B Biological Insecticide Aqueous Suspension (Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain ABTS-351) PCPA Registration No. 24977 known as “BTK”. BTK is approved for urban aerial use by Health Canada. Specific spray dates are weather dependent and will be confirmed 48-hours in advance and posted on the City’s website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages for the public’s information. Residents may register to receive 48-hour notice of spraying in their area by completing an online request for notification. More information, including spray area maps and adjacent property listings can also be found on the City’s website at brantford.ca/SpongyMoth.
Please direct any additional questions to the City’s Forestry Division by emailing forestry@brantford.ca or by calling 519-759-4150 ext.5766. Collect calls will be accepted.

Aerial spraying will be conducted by helicopter and take place on two days between May 19 and June 10, 2022. The designated spraying areas which will be temporarily closed during spraying include Mohawk Park, Mount Hope Cemetery, Glenhyrst Gardens and Deer Park. The Wyndham Hills area will also be sprayed and residents have received notification.
The treatment being used is a biological control made from a naturally occurring bacterium found in soil and biodegrades rapidly in the environment and is non-toxic to people, animals, birds, honeybees, fish and most other insects. Two treatments will be applied, 7 to 10 days apart, and will be performed by helicopter, weather permitting, between 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The treatment is called 48B Biological Insecticide Aqueous Suspension (Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain ABTS-351) PCPA Registration No. 24977 known as “BTK”. BTK is approved for urban aerial use by Health Canada. Specific spray dates are weather dependent and will be confirmed 48-hours in advance and posted on the City’s website, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages for the public’s information. Residents may register to receive 48-hour notice of spraying in their area by completing an online request for notification. More information, including spray area maps and adjacent property listings can also be found on the City’s website at brantford.ca/SpongyMoth.
Please direct any additional questions to the City’s Forestry Division by emailing forestry@brantford.ca or by calling 519-759-4150 ext.5766. Collect calls will be accepted.

Three Grand River Crossings
Municipal Class EA
Notice of Study Completion
The Study
The City of Brantford has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review alternatives for three crossings over the Grand River, including the Lorne Bridge, Brant’s Crossing Bridge and TH&B Crossing Bridge. The recommended design solutions for the three bridges are summarized as follows:
Rehabilitate Lorne Bridge:
- Maintain existing sidewalks and lane widths
- Complete repairs to remove winter load limit
Replace and Raise Brant’s Crossing Bridge:
- Pony trusses at the two end spans and through trusses for the two middle spans
- 4 metre wide pathway over bridge
- Concrete deck surface
- Incorporation of a lookout
- Incorporate basic lighting and consider aesthetic lighting during detailed design
Minor Rehabilitation and Eventual Removal of TH&B Crossing Bridge:
- Replace existing deck in the same configuration (do not raise deck)
- New wood deck system designed to minimize damage from maintenance equipment and improve ease of deck repairs
The recommended design solutions were officially approved by Brantford City Council on December 21, 2021. The findings of this EA have been documented in an Environmental Study Report (ESR). The ESR will be available for public review starting May 19, 2022, at the City’s project webpage: www.brantford.ca/ThreeGrandRiverCrossings

Public Notice:
Technical Amendment to Zoning By-law 160-90
PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 34(13) OF THE PLANNING ACT, R.SO. 1990 (AS AMENDED) TAKE NOTICE THAT A PUBLIC MEETING WILL BE HELD BY THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF BRANTFORD
Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 6:00 p.m.
Council Chambers, City Hall, 58 Dalhousie Street, Brantford ON N3T 2M3
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF PROPOSED APPLICATION
Application PZ-17-22 involves City Initiated Amendments to Zoning By-law No. 160-90 which includes zoning regulations for outdoor commercial patios and to also rescind a temporary use zoning by-law as it relates to recreational vehicles. The proposed patio modifications currently exist on a temporary basis as a result of the City’s pandemic response.
One of the purposes of this By-law is to formalize the temporary provisions with allowances for seasonal commercial patios and assist in the continued economic recovery post-pandemic. The following regulations are being proposed:
- Outdoor patios shall not obstruct required works, such as ramps, fire routes, fire hydrants and drive aisles or disturb any existing vegetation.
- Any recreation and/or entertainment uses are not permitted on temporary outdoor patios.
- The provision of accessible parking and associated walkways shall be maintained at all times.
- Proposed temporary outdoor patio must be adjacent to the existing restaurant or business.
- Proposed temporary outdoor patio must be set back a minimum of 5 m from a Residential Zone.
- Notwithstanding any of the requirements above, the Police Chief, Fire Chief or Chief Building Official may impose further conditions or requirements that they deem appropriate to safeguard public safety or mitigate nuisances.
- Outdoor temporary patios shall only be permitted seasonally from the months May to October.
Further, the Temporary Use By-laws (15-2021 and 16-2021), which permitted the use of motor homes and travel trailers (recreational vehicles) for temporary occupancy in order to provide an alternative form of accommodation so as to quarantine away from others in the household, is also being considered. Planning Staff is recommending that those by-laws be rescinded, which will eliminate the permission of using such vehicles post-pandemic.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Additional information regarding the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is available to the public for inspection at the Planning Department, City Hall, 58 Dalhousie Street, Brantford ON N3T 2M3 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday or by calling Joe Muto, Manager of Development Planning, at 519-759-4150, ext. 5295. Written comments can also be sent to the address noted above or by email to jmuto@brantford.ca.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the City of Brantford before the By-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the City of Brantford Council to the Ontario Land Tribunal. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the City of Brantford before the By-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
If you wish to be notified of the decision of the City of Brantford in respect of the By-law, you must make a written request to the Clerk at clerks@brantford.ca, or via mail to the City of Brantford, City Hall, 58 Dalhousie Street, Brantford ON N3T 2M3.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION
Empey Street Wastewater Pumping Station Upgrades
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
The Study
The City of Brantford has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) for the upgrades to the Empey Street Wastewater Pumping Station (WWPS). The need for increasing the capacity of the Empey Street WWPS was identified in the recent City of Brantford Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Master Servicing Plan Update and is required to meet planned growth.
The Study evaluated various alternatives for the WWPS. The preferred solution is to upgrade the existing Empey Street WWPS on site. The project will also incorporate new emergency storage tank and other upgrades to the existing WWPS necessary to meet future service area demands. All works will be constructed on the Empey WWPS property and within the existing road right of ways.
The Process
The Study has been completed in accordance with Phases 1 and 2 of the Schedule ‘B’ Municipal Engineers Association "Municipal Class Environmental Assessment," (October 2000, as amended in 2015) planning process which is approved under the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act.

Applicant: City of Brantford
Purpose and Effect of Proposed Application
Application OP-02-22 involves City Initiated Amendments to City of Brantford Official Plan to introduce policies that establish a class of minor amendments to the Zoning By-law and to update policies for public consultation and required studies for a complete application. The amendments related to minor amendments to the Zoning By-law address matters arising from the Supporting People and Business Act, 2021 (Bill 13). The amendments related to the list of required studies for a complete application address matters arising from the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022 (Bill 109). Amendments regarding public consultation relate to both pieces of legislation.
The following matters are proposed to be addressed:
- A set of policies will be added to Section 9.2 of the Official Plan to set out Zoning By-law amendments that may be deemed to be minor in nature, in accordance with Section 39.2 of the Planning Act. Policies will also set out authority for modifications to the review process, and establishment of conditions on when matters can be deemed minor. Minor amendments to the Zoning By-law are proposed to consist of:
- Removal of Holding symbols and provisions where conditions are satisfied;
- Approval or extension of a Temporary Use;
- Amendments to add one permitted use to a zone where the use is contemplated in the Official Plan Designation;
- Amendments to floodplain overlays, to harmonize the overlay with the latest information available from the Grand River Conservation Authority;
- To make minor technical and administrative updates to the Zoning By-law (e.g. typographical or other corrections, updating references to external agencies, formatting, etc.)
- Section 9.10 of the Official Plan will be amended to:
- Reorganize and amend existing polices, separating policies regarding Statutory Public Meetings and policies regarding Neighbourhood Meetings.
- Policies will be added to allow for alternate processes for Statutory Public Meetings as contemplated in Section 34 of the Planning Act; these policies will relate to minor amendments to the Zoning By-law.
- Section 9.11 of the Official Plan will be amended by introducing additional requirements to Table 1 – Required Studies. The new studies will allow for greater clarity and more efficient processing of complete Planning Act applications. New studies to be added include:
- Pre-submission technical review by external (non-City) agencies;
- Requirement for responses to City Pre-Consultation comments to accompany a complete application.
- Requirements relating to pre-submission Neighbourhood Meetings, including notice, presentation material, and record of discussion.
- Requirements relating to clarity around Zoning By-law compliance.
- Requirements for a plans and drawings showing works in the City right-of-way distinct from on-site works
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A copy of the proposed Official Plan Amendment can be made available to the public for inspection at the Customer Service Counter, 1st Floor, City Hall, 58 Dalhousie Street, Brantford, ON N3T 2J2 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday.
