HAMPTON,ONTARIO LOB 1JO TEL.(416)263-2231
REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE
MEETING OF FEBRUARY 21, 1983
REPORT NO. : PD-34-83
SUBJECT: REPORTING ON RESTRICTED AREA (ZONING)
BY-LAW AMENDMENTS CIRCULATED BY OTHER
MUNICIPALITIES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the
following :
1 . That Report PD-34-83 be received; and
2. That staff be authorized to respond directly to
Area Municipalities upon circulation of
Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law Amendments.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS:
The Newcastle Planning Staff have, over the years , reviewed
and prepared Reports for the information of the Committee
regarding various Restricted Area (Zoning) By-law Amendments
from adjacent Municipalities. The circulation of these
By-law Amendments is, as the Committee is aware, required by
Section 39 of the Planning Act, and, is intended to inform
residents and the adjacent Municipalities of the proposed
development of certain parcels of land.
Report No: PD-34-83 . . ./2
I
The By-law amendments received by the Planning Department
and Clerks Department are more often than not forwarded by
the City of Oshawa and the Township of Scugog. Staff have
prepared numerous Reports in 1982 pertaining to By-laws from
adjacent Municipalities, and note that generally, the
various proposals have had no impact or effect upon the
Town. In that regard, Staff feel that the review and
preparation of a Report for each By-law received is more
time consuming than necessary for both Planning Staff and
the General Purpose and Administration Committee.
Therefore, in order to re-direct Staff time; and further, to
reduce the number of Reports , Planning Staff, with the
Council 's authorization , will review each By-law amendment
received in respect of proposed development for abutting
Municipalities, and should staff foresee no problems with
the proposal (s) , provide a direct reply to the respective
Municipality. Should Staff review of a By-law indicate a
potential problem or impact upon the Town, then a Report and
recommendation in respect of the proposal would be forwarded
to the Council for their consideration and direction to
Staff.
Respectful lyf W6itted,
