I am concerned that exempting open for business zoning bylaws from regulations will allow environmentally damaging developments to occur, putting water source protection and agricultural land at risk, push employment to the edges of urban areas and increase commute times, and increase lobbying efforts by developers as there are now rules which are not necessarily applied. Given that rules designed to protect the public interest will be circumvented, I find it concerning that there is no mandatory public consultation, as this will prevent local communities from having a proper voice.
