Application details

  • The Province of Ontario, through Bill 97, Helping Homebuyers, Protecting Tenants Act, made various changes to the Planning Act including the introduction of a new definition of “Area of Employment” and revised criteria for removal of lands from employment area. The purpose of the Town-initiated Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment is to implement Provincial direction of “Area of Employment” and adequately regulate and protect the Town’s existing and new Employment Areas.
  • The Local Official Plan Amendment is addressing changes to the Planning Act and policies in the new Provincial Planning Statement, 2024 (PPS) as it relates to an “Area of Employment” and conversion policy within the Town’s Official Plan.
  • The Local Official Plan Amendment intends to bring the Official Plan into conformity and help maintain the integrity of the Town’s Employment Areas In addition, the Town seeks to amend Zoning By-law 016-2014, as amended, to ensure that permitted uses under Employment Zones and Commercial Zones are consistent with Official Plan.
