DP-2012-055 - Town of Caledon

REPORT DP-2012-055
Council’s enactment of the by-law to the Ontario Municipal Board, no later than 20 days
after the day the notice is given.
Notice
The Notice circulated for the Public Meeting indicated that the proposed zoning was
Hazard Land Special X (HL-X) in order to permit residential uses on the subject
property. Since that time, staff has determined that the Environmental Policy Area 2
(EPA2) zone would be more appropriate. The purpose and effect of the By-law remains
unchanged and therefore Planning staff are of the opinion that proper notice has been
provided in accordance with the Planning Act.
Section 34 (17) of the Planning Act states that where a change is made in a proposed by
-law after the holding of the public meeting, the Council shall determine whether any
further notice is to be given in respect of the proposed by-law. The determination of
Council is final and not subject to review in any court irrespective of the extent of the
change made in the proposed by-law. It is staff’s opinion that the intent of the Notice and
the proposed zoning by-law are appropriate and a further public meeting is not required.
NEXT STEPS
1. Corporate Services staff will notify Development Approval and Planning Policy
staff that the outstanding tax arrears have been paid.
2. Development Approval and Planning Policy staff will bring the by-law forward to
the next available Council date.
3. Administration staff will provide Notice of Council’s decision in accordance with
the requirements in the Planning Act.
4. Administration staff will monitor for any appeals that may be received during the
following twenty day appeal period.
5. Administration staff will issue an affidavit, provided no appeals have been
received.
