I think that these changes are good. I would suggest clarification on removing third party appeal rights. Is the intent to prevent third party appeals of comprehensive zoning bylaws initiated by municipalities as well? Read more

Please stop “cutting red tape” and using MZOs to make it easier for developers to destroy wildlife habitat, wetlands, forests, etc. The UN says that affordable housing must not come at a coat to the environment. And these projects are mostly commercial and industrial. Read more

Regrettably this seems to remove in almost all cases the decision making authority from local Councils. Instead rights of appeal to the OLT will shortcut Council review, and giving the Minister the right to decide parking and lot coverage etc, again centralizes decisions with the Minister. Read more

Bill 185 once again seeks to remove the public’s ability to appeal the adoption or amendment of Official Plans and Zoning By-Laws. These amendments were first included in Bill 23 in 2022 but were rightly removed from the Bill in response to public concern. Read more
