Comment
Comments submitted by Bruce County in respect of the EBR Posting. For details see attached.
1. Transition regulations giving broader powers to the Local Planning Appeals Tribunal
should apply to appeals filed after Royal Assent, and not to all as-yet unscheduled
appeals.
2. The force-and-effect date for new shortened decision timeframes provide Municipalities
little time to adapt to this change. The new timeframes should come into effect on
either the regulation approval date or January 1, 2020.
3. Removing the ability to appeal a Community Planning Permit System by-law ordered by
the Province may place increased pressure on Councils in the lead-up to their decision to
adopt the by-law.
4. Regulations related to additional residential units should provide opportunities for
Municipalities to consider the availability of services and impacts where services are not
available.
5. While Bruce County Municipalities do not currently use inclusionary zoning or increased
density provisions, changes to the development charges / community benefit charge
framework may impact their operations.
