5
Planning and Development Committee Minutes March 28, 2022
And Whereas the mapping of natural heritage systems conflicts between the
Greenbelt Natural Heritage System, Conservation Authority mapping, official
plan mapping, and zoning bylaw mapping;
And Whereas the over -reach of natural heritage system mapping often
results in environmental protection designations which are not justified, and
are not protecting natural heritage features, and which negatively affects
thousands of rural property owners and farmers;
And Whereas municipalities which are engaged in official plan updates and
zoning bylaw updates have no clear direction on natural heritage systems
mapping from the Province;
And Whereas a thorough investigation into the designated natural heritage
systems by the provincial ministries are desperately needed immediately to
ensure appropriate mapping is done and the designations are indeed
accurate;
Now therefore be it resolved that:
1. The Provincial Government be requested to issue a cease and desist
order on all updates to Natural Heritage System designations in official
plans and zoning bylaws, thereby pausing the updates until a review of
same by the province can be completed.
2. Clarington not proceed further with any revisions to its natural heritage
system in its zoning bylaw pending the provincial review.
3. A copy of this resolution be forwarded to:
a) The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing;
b) The Minister of the Environment, Parks and Conservation;
c) All Durham MPP's;
d) The Region of Durham and all Durham municipalities; and
e) AMO for distribution to all rural municipalities."
