We support the principle of streamlining planning processes, but caution against limiting municipalities' ability to require site-specific technical studies. Local planning decisions rely on comprehensive, context-sensitive data, especially in complex or constrained sites.
We also recommend a careful review of the proposed "as-of-right" 10% setback variance regulation, to ensure it does not unintentionally compromise neighborhood character or infrastructure capacity in urban and transitional zones.
The recognition of certified professionals is a helpful step, but municipalities should retain discretion to request additional information where needed to uphold community safety and development standards.
