4. Ralph Walton, Regional Clerk/Director of Legislative Services, Region
of Durham, Regarding Response to November 25, 2020 Notice of
Motion Regarding Minister's Zoning Orders
That the following Resolution from Ralph Walton, Regional Clerk/Director of
Legislative Services, Region of Durham, regarding Response to November 25,
2020 Notice of Motion Regarding Minister's Zoning Orders, be endorsed by the
Municipality of Clarington as follows:
Whereas increasingly applicants are requesting Minister's Zoning Orders in order
to bypass the public planning process and to expedite development projects; and
Whereas there is no defined MZO process to ensure that the appropriate
technical issues are fully addressed before an MZO is enacted; and
Whereas Regional Council wishes to ensure that all planning -related decisions
affecting lands in the Region of Durham are sound and in the public interest;
Now therefore be it resolved that:
1. Durham Region request that the Minister of Municipal Affairs and
Housing define what are matters of Provincial priority for
consideration of MZO's;
2. Durham Region request the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing
to clarify when MZOs will (and will not) be used to expedite
development, and to clarify what safeguards can and will be put in
place to ensure that future land use decisions made by way of an
MZO represent good planning and are in the public interest;
3. That the Minister consult with the upper tier municipalities during the
consideration of any MZO that affects land in the Region. Since any
new development affects Regional infrastructure, (i.e. sewer, water,
roads), this consultation with the Region is imperative;
4. That the Minister consider whether the proposal conforms to
provincial planning policy and consider whether the proposed
development would adversely affect any matter of provincial interest
set out in Section 2 of the Planning Act;

5. That the Minister consider whether the proposal conforms to Regional
planning policy and facilitates uses that advance Provincial and
regional priorities;
6. That the Minister consider whether new development permitted by an
MZO adversely affects uses in the vicinity of the area;
7. That the Minister assess whether the project is "shovel -ready" and will
be constructed in a timely manner. In that regard, the MZO could
include a lapsing provision so that if a building permit has not been
issued for the proposal within a specified timeframe, the MZO could
be repealed;
8. That prior to the issuance of an MZO, the required technical studies
have been, or will be, completed to demonstrate there will not be any
unacceptable impacts on the natural environment;
9. That prior to the issuance of an MZO, the required technical studies
have been, or will be, completed to demonstrate that the Regional
infrastructure is sufficient to accommodate the proposal, and where
necessary that a development agreement has been executed prior to
the enactment of the MZO to secure the
necessary infrastructure works and ensure that any fiscal impacts on
the Region have been addressed;
10. That the affected municipality/municipalities be reimbursed by the
proponent for time spent by municipal staff on the basis that a
significant amount of staff time is required to assist affected Councils
when considering MZO requests, to compensate for the foregone
planning application fee revenue that would otherwise have been
collected; and
11. That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to all local area
municipalities in Durham Region.
