Deletions
- Given that, for any new construction, a municipality must undertake work to connect them to water
- and electricity distribution, and that these highly specialized buildings are often subsequently
- abandoned due to bankruptcy, uglifying the urban landscape;
- Canada will adopt building standards for large stores, factories and warehouses, to facilitate their
- subsequent conversion into ecological housing and cooperatives.
- - All new mall/warehouse developments will be required to have a zero-carbon budget, and a plan for
- re-conversion into housing and cooperatives.
- -All investor-developers will be required to pay a reserve amount into a trust account, which will
- be used to convert buildings into housing.
- - In the event of abandonment or non-response, the municipality will reclaim the site after a
- one-year period of non-occupation.
- A similar process, including remediation of contaminated soil and conversion into public green
- space, will be undertaken in the case of abandoned service stations.
- Submitter: Michèle Laframboise
- Note from staff: This proposal has been posted for your consideration at the 2023 Annual General
- Meeting. The content of this proposal is fixed, however a draft version has also been posted in the
- Workshop to allow you to collaborate with the submitter on possible amendments and to review the
- rationale and background information of the proposal. You can access the workshop version of this
-proposal here, which the submitter is still able to edit.

- Étant donné que, pour toute nouvelle construction, une municipalité doit engager des travaux pour
- les relier à la distribution d'eau et d'électricité, et que ces édifices hautement spécialisés sont
- souvent abandonnés ensuite pour cause de faillite, enlaidissant le paysage urbain,
- Le Canada adoptera les normes de constructions de grands magasins, usines ou entrepôts en vue de
- faciliter leur conversion ultérieure en logements et coopératives écologiques.
- - Tout nouvel aménagement de centre d'achats/magasin-entrepôt devra prévoir un budget carbone zéro,
- et un plan de re-conversion en logements et coopératives
- -Tout investisseur-promoteur devra verser une montant de réserve dans un compte en fidéi-commis, qui
- servira à reconvertir les buildings en logements.
- - En cas d'abandon des lieux et de non-réponse, la municipalité se rappropriera le site après un
- délai d'un an de non-occupation.
- Une démarche similaire incluant un remédiation des sols contaminés et reconversion en espace vert
