REPORT TO THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING OF JANUARY
19, 1981.
REPORT NO. : P-13-81
SUBJECT: Courtice Staging - File: 2.2
BACKGROUND:
On July 28, 1980 Council adopted By-law 80-104 being a By-law
to adopt Policies for Staging of development in the Courtice Urban Area
(copy attached) . In accordance with those policies, the Town is obli-
gated to annually review the progress of development in Courtice and may,
if necessary, set an annual limit on the amount of development which may
proceed to final approval.
COMMENTS:
In view of the fact that there has been little or no residential
development activity within Courtice in the past six years, and in view j
of the provincial, regional and municipal commitments to development of
i
this area; and given the present housing market situation, we do not feel
that an annual limit would be appropriate at this time.
