Do the provisions below allow municipalities to approve developments on sensitive protected areas like the Oak Ridges Moraine, with notification or consultation with local residents and organizations? This type of area is currently protected by legislation such as the Green belt Act and Oak Ridges Moraine Act. Will these protections be continued under a Bill 66 and ERO 013-4125? thank you for your attention to my concern.

“Allow the municipality to impose limited planning-related conditions that may help to facilitate the proposal [e.g., approval of plans and drawings that show site plan matters (transportation access, lighting, parking, etc. )] and enter into agreements to ensure development conditions are secured;
Allow public consultation at the discretion of the municipality, while requiring public notice after the by-law is passed (at a minimum);
Provide that decisions are final and cannot be appealed to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (but allow the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to intervene before the by-law comes into effect, 20 days after its passing);
Remove the requirement for decisions to strictly adhere to provincial policies and provincial plans (but allow the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to impose conditions to protect matters like public health and safety when endorsing the use of the tool).”
