Origin
Summary
On November 2, 2017 the Ontario Municipal Board (the "OMB") issued a decision on a joint motion brought by the Building Industry and Land Development Association ("BILD") and a number of landowners and supported by several ratepayer groups to indefinitely adjourn the previously scheduled ten-day hearing on the appeal of City's Official Plan Amendment ("OPA") 258. The OMB in its decision ordered that the hearing would be indefinitely adjourned until the City has enacted a Community Planning Permit By-law (Development Permit By-law) and the appeal period relating to the By-law has passed under the Planning Act. The City Solicitor requires direction on this matter at the City Council meeting commencing on December 6, 2017.
