Mississauga marks National Housing Day with new housing incentives and initiatives

By Issues, Planning & Development, Resources

National Housing Day, observed on November 22, highlights the importance of safe, affordable housing across Canada.

November 22, 2024

The housing crisis is a major issue in Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area. To help tackle this, the City is committed to finding innovative solutions that make it easier for homeowners to build, while also improving access to safe and affordable housing for all. That’s why, in recognition of National Housing Day, the City is announcing new incentives for homeowners to help lower costs and increase housing supply. These initiatives are a part of the City’s broader strategy to encourage gentle density, which includes supporting sustainable housing growth within existing neighbourhoods. This approach not only helps address housing affordability, but also has the potential to revitalize communities while creating lively, inclusive spaces for future generations.

New financial incentives for homeowners to boost housing supply

The City is offering new financial incentives to encourage and help homeowners build more units on their properties. These incentives will cover some application fees, depending on the type of unit being built:

Additional residential units (ARUs)

Homeowners building or legalizing ARUs, such as basement apartments, garage conversions, garden suites or second-floor additions can have their building permit fees waived. Legalizing an ARU includes, but is not limited to, ensuring the unit meets the applicable zoning requirements, complies with Ontario’s Building Code, and passes inspections to become a legal, safe living space. New build fourplexes are also eligible.

Fourplexes

To make building a fourplex more affordable, the City is waiving the development charges and parkland fees that are currently required for the fourth unit, aligning with the existing exemptions already in place for the first three units. Additionally, grants will be available to cover building permit fees.

The goal of these incentives is lower upfront costs for homeowners, making it easier to add new units to existing properties. It also creates more housing options in Mississauga’s neighborhoods, which will help meet the growing demand for homes in a thoughtful and sustainable way. Learn more about adding more units to your property.

City takes the lead by sharing garden suite plans with all municipalities

Garden suites are a great way to gently add density to Mississauga neighbourhoods. Earlier this year, the City made it easier to build garden suites by offering free, pre-approved plans. These plans offer a streamlined, ready-to-go solution for residents. Garden suites can be built in backyards, making them ideal for homeowners who want to add an additional space for their growing families, or to use as a rental unit.

Today, the City is expanding this initiative by making its garden suite plans available to all municipalities across Ontario. Planning and building departments in other communities can now offer the City’s ready-made designs to interested residents, helping to streamline processes and accelerate home-building across the province. This initiative reinforces the City’s leadership and commitment to addressing the housing crisis across Ontario, helping residents and municipal staff to save time and costs, so homeowners can work directly with licensed builders sooner.

Housing growth through gentle density

In the past year, the City has made significant progress in introducing new strategies for homeowners to build, which has helped to increase housing options while gently boosting density in Mississauga’s neighborhoods.

To date in 2024, four fourplexes have applied for building permits, and we have issued permits for more than 715 ARUs, including seven garden suites. This progress reflects our commitment to creating diverse housing options, which is an important step in ensuring that future generations can live in Mississauga for years to come.

Construction Commencement – Sawmill Creek, Upper Cooksville and Beach Street – Nov/24

By Planning & Development, Ward 1

Peel Region will be working in your neighbourhood to rehabilitate the existing sanitary sewer system and
maintenance holes (commonly called manholes). Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water is flushed down the toilet, or goes down the drain in your sink, tub, or shower.

This construction work will take place on Folkway Drive, Erin Mills Parkway, Bristol Road West, Ceremonial Drive, Fairwind Drive, and Beach Street shown on the attached map.

To extend the service life of the sewer under these streets, Peel Region’s contractors will clean the existing sewer pipe and place a new resin (plastic) lining within it. This work will be completed underground with specialized equipment and will not require digging trenches in your neighbourhood.

As part of this project, we will also repair or replace aging maintenance holes. This work will ensure the sanitary sewer system can continue to be accessed and maintained from the maintenance holes. The majority of our work will involve repairing maintenance holes. When we need to partially replace the maintenance hole, we will share additional information with affected residents and businesses before the work begins.

Construction schedule
Construction is planned to begin Friday, November 8, 2024 and be completed in the Winter 2025. During this time, we will be relining the sanitary sewer and rehabilitating or replacing approximately 32 maintenance holes. It typically takes a few hours to three days to repair a single maintenance hole, depending on the work required. When the maintenance hole needs to be completely replaced, this work may take three to five days. All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Contractor and working hours
The work will be completed by Insituform Technologies Ltd and supported by consultant Robinson Consultants Inc., both under contract to Peel Region. This contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday. These hours are consistent with the local municipality’s bylaws. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require this work to affect your neighbourhood over a longer period of time. We will need to complete some work overnight to reduce the impact on traffic congestion. We will notify affected residents and businesses before overnight work begins. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by this work.

Wastewater service interruptions
To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe may be out of service (plugged) for several hours.
(Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home to the underground sanitary sewer system). This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Insituform will provide you with notice at least 24 hours before the lining process begins.
It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:
• You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
• Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
• Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.
These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us at construction@peelregion.ca or tell the contractor when they arrive at your property.

Odours
You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odours in your home.

Traffic and parking
This work will require digging trenches in the street and temporarily occupying some lanes. As a result, we will need to reduce traffic to a single shared lane on:
• Folkway Drive between Flitter Court and Treetop Court
• Glen Erin Drive between the 403 and Credit Valley Road
• Bristol Road West between Swiftcurrent Trail and Huntingfield Drive
• Ceremonial Drive between Fairwind Drive and Nishea Court
• Fairwind Drive between Hollymount Drive and Eglington Avenue West
During this time, traffic will be directed by flag persons and police officers as necessary. Emergency service vehicles and school buses will be permitted to cross through the closure with guidance from the onsite contractor. We expect the lane reductions to occur for approximately one to three days. We apologize for any delays or inconvenience resulting from these traffic impacts.

Trail closures
The affected sanitary sewer runs along the Sawmill Creek Trail and the Cooksville Creek Trail. These trails will be during construction.

Driveway access
It may be necessary to block your driveway for a short time when crews are relining the sewer, working on the maintenance holes, or repairing the resulting damage to the road. If so, we will knock on your door to notify you. Whenever possible, we will work to ensure businesses can be accessed. Please contact us if you have special needs related to access.

Areas impacted by construction 
Repairing maintenance holes often requires digging around the existing maintenance holes to install new parts. These maintenance holes are usually located within the municipal right-of-way, which includes the street and the land owned by the municipality between the street and your water service box. (The water service box is a small, round, metal valve located outside, on the property line between your house and the road.) If maintenance holes are not within the right-of-way, Peel Region has obtained legal access through easements. Depending on the location of the maintenance hole, this work may cause temporary damage to roads, curbs, sidewalks, boulevards, driveway aprons, and lawns within the municipal right-of-way or easement. Any damage caused by Regional construction will be repaired.

In-ground sprinkler systems
If the construction inspector notifies you that your front lawn may be affected by this construction work (and you have an in-ground sprinkler system), we strongly recommend moving any sprinkler lines that are located in the municipal right-of-way or within one metre of the maintenance hole. If you can’t relocate these sprinkler lines, please send us a map created by your irrigation contractor or flag each sprinkler head that is located within one meter of the sidewalk, curb, or driveway. This will allow us to minimize the impact to your sprinkler system.

Tree trimming
Trees located in the municipal right-of-way will be protected during construction using temporary fencing. If tree branches within the municipal right-of-way interfere with construction, the trees will be pruned beforehand. If tree branches on private property interfere with construction, they will be pruned back to the nearest suitable trunk or branch. If you do not allow personnel onto your property to trim the tree, the branches will be cut vertically at the property line.

Repairing areas impacted by construction
We will start repairing any affected areas of the road, curb, sidewalk, driveways, and lawns once we have finished our work on the sewer and maintenance holes. Repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain seasonal weather conditions.
For example:
• Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
• Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter. Asphalt usually becomes available around midMay.
• Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace the sod on your property once it is available. We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not repair your lawn by the middle of November, we’ll replace the sod the following spring.

Repairing grassy areas
If this construction work impacts the boulevard or your lawn, the contractor will replace any damaged sod (grass) and will take care of the new sod for 30 days. You can help the sod stay healthy by watering it. A longer ‘deep root watering’ works better to establish new sod than watering more frequently for a shorter time. Watering in the early morning allows more water to soak in instead of evaporating.

Repairing driveways
If the construction inspector notifies you that your driveway may be affected by this construction work, all damage caused by Regional construction will be repaired.
• Asphalt driveways: If we need to cut a section of your driveway, the driveway will be repaired by paving a strip over the disturbed area, resulting in minimal seams in the final driveway. The Region of Peel cannot replace your entire driveway.
• Interlock or concrete driveways: If we damaged a portion of your driveway, our contractor will reinstate
the damaged portion of the driveway.

Waste collection
If you receive waste collection from Peel Region, and our construction work is happening in front of your home during your waste collection day, it is the contractor’s responsibility to move your garbage, recycling, and organics bins from the end of your driveway to a location where waste collection vehicles can pick them up.  Empty containers will be returned to their corresponding addresses. Please make sure your house number is clearly marked on each bin. This helps us return empty bins to the correct address.

Vibrations
You could feel slight vibrations from the construction work.

Neighbourhood Zoning Review: Join a Virtual Community Meeting Mississauga South November 21st

By Announcement, Events, Planning & Development, Ward 1

Mississauga needs more housing options for families, older adults, students and the next generation who want to live in the city.

Currently, many homes in our neighbourhoods are located on large lots with two or fewer residents. The result is that some neighbourhoods are seeing their populations shrink despite a city-wide need for more housing.

The City’s Zoning By-law regulates the types of buildings that can be built in different parts of the city and how those buildings are used. Updating the City’s neighbourhood zoning to allow more housing choices like semi-detached and smaller detached homes is one way to add density in a gentle way.

You’re invited to join an upcoming virtual community meeting to learn more about the neighbourhood zoning review:

* Northern Mississauga (Wards 5, 9, 10, 11): Thursday, November 7 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.

* Central Mississauga (Wards 3, 4, 6, 7): Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.

* Southern Mississauga (Wards 1, 2, 8): Thursday, November 21 from 6 – 7:30 p.m.

Residents are encouraged to attend the session for their ward, but are welcome to join any meeting that fits their schedule.

Ambitious new district energy project sets the stage for one of the most sustainable new waterfront communities in Canada

By Announcement, Planning & Development, Resources

Shovels are in the ground on a new, sustainable district energy system transforming the site of a former coal-burning power generating station into a new, green community at Lakeview Village.

Today, the City of MississaugaLakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL), Enwave Lakeview Corporation and the Region of Peel celebrated the groundbreaking of a new district energy system at Lakeview Village. Once fully operational, the Lakeview Village district energy system is positioned to be the first of its kind in Ontario and the largest in Canada.

Unlike traditional heating and cooling systems, which are large contributors to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, district energy systems use a network of pipes to heat and cool an entire community from a centralized location. These systems allow for a combination of generation assets that work seamlessly together to improve efficiency, consume less energy, and reduce GHG emissions. They are also more reliable and resilient than traditional systems.

To bring this new system to life, the City of Mississauga and Enwave have signed agreements allowing Enwave to build the necessary pipes and infrastructure on city land and construct a new building to operate the system. These agreements mark a major milestone in the Lakeview Village project and follow several years of collaboration.

Giving treated wastewater a second life

The Region of Peel and Enwave are working to further decrease GHG emissions from the district energy system through a proposed plan to leverage treated wastewater, or effluent, from the nearby G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility as the main source of low carbon energy for the system. Using effluent to heat and cool Lakeview Village draws on an innovative energy source that would otherwise remain untapped.

Once this transition happens, Lakeview Village’s residential units, offices and commercial spaces are expected to emit significantly fewer GHGs.

The district energy system at Lakeview Village, alongside plans to leverage effluent, is instrumental in bringing the City of Mississauga’s Climate Change Action Plan and the Region of Peel’s Climate Change Master Plan to life.

Building a new centre for operations and education

The City of Mississauga and LCPL are also moving forward on the Site Development Plan and Building Permit applications to construct a new building that will house:

  • The district energy operations centre, which will be operated by Enwave.
  • A sewage pumping station, which will be operated by the Region of Peel.
  • An educational space to provide learning opportunities for Mississauga residents, visitors and the business community.

Work is already underway, with the first crane installed onsite to support servicing and construction works for the new centre.

Sustainable waterfront community

Lakeview Village is a 177-acre site on Mississauga’s waterfront that was formerly the Lakeview Power Generating Station. Designed to be a mixed-use community, this sustainable and interconnected neighbourhood will feature 16,000 new homes, parks, trails, transit, recreational opportunities, event spaces, and commercial areas for work and shopping.

Earlier this month, construction kicked off on the community’s first residential building with occupancy expected in early 2029.

For more information about planning the Lakeview Village development, visit the City of Mississauga’s Lakeview Village webpage. To learn more about the community, visit mylakeviewvillage.com.

Quotes:

“Today’s announcement highlights our dedication to building mixed-use communities that are sustainable, and include a variety of housing options, jobs, parks and community spaces. Lakeview Village’s focus on innovative, low carbon solutions make it more than just a development project – it sets a new standard for sustainability. I’m proud to work with our partners on this transformative project that will shape the future of Mississauga for years to come.” – Mayor Carolyn Parrish

“This groundbreaking marks an exciting chapter in the evolution of Lakeview Village. Our vision has always been to make this community the most sustainable, innovative new development in the country, and this is a major step. The Enwave system within Lakeview Village is a leading example of how the joint priorities of sustainability and housing development can co-exist, supporting a better future for Ontario.” – Brian Sutherland, President, Lakeview Community Partners Limited

“The groundbreaking of the district energy system at Lakeview Village is an exciting step toward the future of sustainable communities in Canada and beyond. This development is a complex undertaking, which will be the largest of its kind in North America with the integration of effluent, and would not be possible without the determination and collaboration demonstrated by all partners. Together, we are implementing big ideas and critical thinking to achieve the ambitious goals set for this project, and Enwave is proud to make this district energy system a reality.” – Carlyle Coutinho, CEO of Enwave Energy Corporation

“Today’s announcement signals Peel Region’s commitment to working with the City of Mississauga, Lakeview Community Partners Limited (LCPL), and Enwave Lakeview Corporation to leverage treated wastewater from the G.E. Booth Water Resource Recovery Facility as an innovative fuel source for the district energy system at Lakeview Village. Peel Region is a strong advocate for sustainability and committed to researching and implementing state-of-the-art treatment processes and technology at our facilities. We are always working to be a collaborative community partner, and providing this future fuel source for our neighbours at Lakeview Village demonstrates our environmental leadership.” – Chair Nando Iannicca, Peel Region

Lakeshore Road East Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project

By Announcement, Planning & Development

Lakeshore Road East, between 42nd Street and Deta Road, Alexandra Avenue and Ogden Avenue and HaigBoulevard and Lakeshore Road Intersection

Peel Region will be working in your area to rehabilitate the sanitary sewers along Lakeshore Road East at the following locations:

1) Between 42nd Street and Deta Road;
2) Between Alexandra Avenue and Ogden Avenue; and
3) Haig Boulevard and Lakeshore Road Intersection

Sanitary sewers are underground pipes that carry wastewater from your home or business to a water resource recovery facility. Wastewater is created when water goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. To strengthen and extend the life of the existing sewer pipes, we will be rehabilitating the existing sewer pipes by adding a new lining within sections of the pipe.

Construction schedule

Construction is planned to begin December 2024 and be completed by December 2025.

All work is under warranty for two years from the completion date.

Contractor and working hours

The work will be completed by Michels Canada and supported by GEI Consultants, both under contract to Peel Region. While the contractor’s normal working hours are from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, there will be some night work required to expedite construction as continuous bypass pumping of sewage flows is necessary to facilitate sewer rehabilitation. We understand this may cause some inconvenience, but shorter working days would require your neighbourhood/area to be under construction for a longer period of time.

Wastewater service interruptions

To complete this work, your wastewater service pipe may be out of service (plugged) for approximately 8 hours; we will let you know beforehand whether this is the case. (Wastewater service pipes carry wastewater from your home to the underground sanitary sewer system.) This temporary service interruption allows for the pipe to be repaired without digging up the street. To advise you of the exact date and time of this service interruption, Michels Canada will provide you with a second notice at least 24 hours before the lining process begins.

It is important to minimize your water use while the sewer work is underway:

• You may continue to wash your hands but minimize your water use.
• Do not use showers, bathtubs, dishwashers, or your washing machine.
• Keep toilet flushing to a bare minimum.
These actions will reduce the possibility of wastewater (also known as sewage) backing up into your basement or into your plumbing. If you have a sump pump, please notify us at construction@peelregion.ca or tell the
contractor when they arrive at your property.

Traffic and parking

The work will be phased to minimize disruption to traffic. At least one lane will be open in each direction during this work. All entrances to businesses and residences will be maintained during construction.

Repairing areas impacted by construction

Rehabilitation of the sewer will require excavation to access the pipe and to facilitate bypass pumping. We will start repairing the road, curb, driveway entrances and boulevards once our work on the sewer is completed.

These repairs may be delayed due to contractor availability or certain seasonal weather conditions.
For example:

• Paving cannot take place when the ground is saturated with water, or the temperature is below 3°C.
• Asphalt is not available in large volumes during the winter. Asphalt usually becomes available around mid May.
• Most sod farms are located north of Peel. They usually have sod available beginning in late May. We will replace the sod once it is available. We replace sod only until the middle of November, weather
permitting, to let the sod grow roots. If we do not repair sod by the middle of November, we’ll replace the
sod the following spring.

Odours

You may smell some odours while the synthetic resin inside the sewer cures. These odours are temporary and will dissipate within a few hours. You can prevent or minimize these odours by making sure you have water in all of your drains, including your basement floor drain. We recommend pouring a bucket of water down the floor drain and running the water in all sinks, showers, and tubs for a minute, either the evening before or day of the relining work. If you are not able to put water down your floor drain (for example, if it is currently covered by flooring), we strongly recommend making it accessible before relining work begins to reduce the level of odours in your home.

Safety during construction

Construction zones require extra caution to keep everyone safe – pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, and construction workers. When driving, walking, or biking through the construction area, please be aware of your surroundings, watch for construction crews and other road users, slow down, account for delays, and consider other routes if possible.
