Comment
The Town of Oakville Planning Services Department is supportive of the two-year extension to the deadline for listed properties to be removed from municipal heritage registers.
We have an additional comment on section 29(10) of the OHA, which currently reads:
29 (10) For clarity, the deemed withdrawal of a notice of intention to designate a property under subsection (9) does not prevent the council from giving a new notice of intention to designate the property in accordance with this section. 2019, c. 9, Sched. 11, s. 7 (6).
To provide clarity and consistency, we would like to see this amended as follows:
29 (10) For clarity, the deemed withdrawal of a notice of intention to designate a property under subsections (7) and (9) does not prevent the council from giving a new notice of intention to designate the property in accordance with this section. 2019, c. 9, Sched. 11, s. 7 (6).
By adding subsection 7, this clarifies and ensures that municipalities still have the ability to designate a property after purposefully withdrawing a notice of intention to designate, and not just because they did not pass a by-law within the required timeframe.
