Origin
Summary
This report summarizes the completed Stage 1 consultations for the 5 Year Official Plan Review and Municipal Comprehensive Review, and identifies thematic areas for future policy amendments together with a work program for Stage 2 of the Reviews.
Since the October interim report, City Planning has held additional meetings with stakeholders and received submissions from individuals and interest groups. As well, over 700 completed surveys were received from across the city in response to the "Fast Feedback" survey on features of a liveable city and city building ideas. Feedback from these additional consultations is consistent with public comments summarized in the interim report.
To address the Stage 1 feedback and ensure an effective and manageable process, this report outlines a general Stage 2 work program with thematic areas organized into Phase A (statutory) and Phase B (non-statutory). Phase A's thematic areas relate to the Growth Plan's Municipal Comprehensive Review and the Planning Act's statutory requirements for an Official Plan review. Phase B's thematic areas consist of revisions to the Official Plan's policies and maps resulting from Council referrals, staff review and Stage 1 consultations. For each thematic area City Planning will identify potential changes to the Official Plan and conduct further consultations. Stage 3 of the Reviews involves Committee and Council consideration of amendments resulting from the Reviews.
