AMO’s Submission to Proposed Changes to Ontario Regulation 299/19: Additional Residential Units
AMO Submission to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on:
ERO 019-6197

Preamble

The Greenbelt is a very important space for all Ontarians. If the Greenbelt is disrupted due to development, there will be irreparable harm to the ecosystems and the wildlife that live there. We will never be able to get those ecosystems in the habitat for sensitive organisms back.

I am opposed to section 019-6197 of bill 23. It will remove thousands of hectares of valuable land previously protected in perpetuity and allow development. It also passes the cost of this infrastructure onto the local taxpayers when it was previously the responsibility of the developers.

I am in favour of examining an act and making changes to actually help create true affordable housing in existing residential areas, but that is not what is happening here.

We should scrap Bill 23 and implement real solutions: increase low-rise residential density. Affordable housing near transit and NOT near or on greenbelts is the real solution. Developers can dodge affordability requirements by building outside transit zones.

Municipalities are the closest form of government to their citizens. And they know their citizens best. Municipalities and Regional Governments must remain the planners, create their own municipals plans (with broad input from citizens and stakeholders) and NOT be superseded by the province.

As someone who had gotten involved in both the City of Brantford and the County of Brant Official Plan, yet you don't even have the respect to approve an official plan submitted in August last year and now you expect to impose staff to re-write to meet your wish list! "This is not democratic!

I disagree with the premise of all changes proposed on Bill 23. While we may need more homes in Ontario it is important to build them in the right way, in the right place and for the right reason, Bill 23 does none of the above.
