Request For Review Of Business Licensing By-Law 2004-350 As Amended
As presented by Councillor McCausland:
WHEREAS Payday Loan Establishments currently operate within the City of Greater Sudbury and the number of those establishments seems to be increasing, particularly in the core of the City;
AND WHEREAS there are concerns that payday loan establishments are “predatory” and take advantage of low-income residents who do not have access to credit and become trapped in debt cycles as a result of exorbitant fees charged by these establishments;
AND WHEREAS payday loan establishments are often located near sensitive land uses where the greatest number of vulnerable citizens live or visit regularly;
AND WHEREAS the Municipal Act, 2001, S.O. 2001, c. 25, as amended, at Section 154.1 states that “despite section 153 and without limiting sections 9, 10 and 11, a local municipality, in a by-law under section 151 with respect to payday loan establishments, may define the area of the municipality in which a payday loan establishment may or may not operate and limit the number of payday loan establishments in any defined area in which they are permitted”;
AND WHEREAS By-law 2004-350, as amended, provides for the licensing and regulation of various businesses and has not been substantially reviewed since its passing;
AND WHEREAS business licensing is in place, in part, to protect the public from fraudulent and/or predatory business practices;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Greater Sudbury directs staff to conduct a review of By-law 2004-350 as amended, and bring a report to Council by the end of the third quarter of 2021, which would also consider potential restrictions for payday loan establishments which could regulate the location of those establishments, including minimum separation distances between payday loan establishments and minimum separation distances from various sensitive land uses, including but not limited to social service locations, methadone clinics, group homes, schools, affordable housing units, etc., as well as a maximum number of those establishments per ward.
