Regarding the public notification change: Adding a municipal website is fine, but what is wrong with the wording on the public notification requirements is the word "or."
I worked as a public sector planner in western Canada and the public hearing notifications I dealt with were:
Mailings to all residents and businesses within a specified distance, AND
Advertisements in the newspaper AND
A notice posted on the site.
If public notice is being met simply by having a notice on a municipal website, an applicant is not reaching out to citizens for comments. It is just placing it somewhere where a few people might stumble upon it.
Public notification should involve reaching out to citizens and consideration that not all receive newspapers, or look on municipal websites in case there is something of interest there.
"Or" should be replaced with "And."
