Comment
The proposed community benefits charge framework indicates the following under Section II, Proposal for Public Comment:
“Alternatively, a municipality could establish a community benefits charge by-law to collect funds to acquire land for parks as well as other community services such as affordable housing and child care. If both a developer and municipality agree, a developer could provide land for parks (rather than a payment). The agreed-upon value attributed to the in-kind parkland contribution would be applied toward the community benefits charge by-law.”
If a municipality passes a community benefits charge by-law and would like a developer to provide land for a park, but the developer does not agree, will the municipality have authority under the Planning Act to require the developer to provide parkland dedication as a condition of subdivision or site plan approval?
