Resolution # JC-049-22
Moved by Councillor Traill
Seconded by Councillor Neal
Whereas when an Official Plan Amendment, Rezoning Application, Zoning By-
law Amendment or Zoning By-law Application is being considered by Council,
and Clarington law enforcement has file open which runs concurrent to and
pertains to the subject of such Official Plan Amendment, or Zoning By-law
Amendment or Rezoning Application, past practice has been for Clarington Law
Enforcement to stay the file pending a final resolution by Council of such
Amendment or Application being considered;
And whereas the interests of justice dictate that like cases should be treated in a
like manner;
And whereas Council has final say on all policy matters;
Now therefore be it resolved that the Enforcement By -Law be amended to reflect
that where a by-law matter has a policy component, the past practice as per
Official Plan Amendments, Rezoning Applications, Zoning By -Law Amendments
and Zoning By -Law Applications of staying the by-law enforcement matter
pending a final resolution of Council on the policy aspect of the enforcement
matter shall automatically apply;
That this amendment to the Enforcement By -Law applies to all ongoing and
future by-law enforcement matters but shall have no retroactive application; and
That if there is uncertainty as to whether a by-law enforcement matter has a
"policy" component, the issue shall be referred to Council for a determination.
