Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the changes enacted through Bill 197, the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act, 2020, that was passed on July 21, 2020.
As a Canadian citizen and resident of the Province of Ontario, I am very strongly opposed to the changes enacted under Bill 197, specifically with regard to the enhanced powers granted to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing to unilaterally remove municipal use of site plan control, require agreements between the municipality and development proponents concerning site plan matters, and make amendments to Minister’s Zoning Orders that use any of these enhanced authorities without first giving public notice or requiring public consultation. According to Environmental Defence, municipal site plan control is “an essential tool for environmental protection.” Official Plans, approved by the province, should be the key planning tool. MZO's should only be used as originally intended to assist in zoning lands not covered by Official Plans. I respectfully request that these enhanced powers must be repealed.
