Comment

The City of Kingston supports the provincial objectives in trying to create more housing and a greater mix of housing. However given the size and amending acts this legislation covers the initial 30 day review period on the Environmental Registry is insufficient for City staff to thoroughly review the implications on development within the City.

Our main recommendation is an extension to the June 1st date for comments on the Bill to allow us additional time to provide our observations and recommendations. In absence of this, attached is a document we have compiled with an overview of initial comments grouped into four central areas – Future Consultations, Development Charges Act recommendations, Planning Act recommendations and Ontario Heritage Act recommendations. These recommendations also align with some of the recommendations and suggestions from other municipalities across the province.
