Background
The purpose of this administrative text amendment is to update the subdivision development
standards, accessory building provisions, and public notice requirements. Where the proposed
changes are harmonious with the Municipal Plan, this amendment does not have a corresponding
Municipal Plan amendment.
The Town does not currently have detailed engineering requirements for the construction of new
subdivisions and public streets. The new Municipal Development Standards is an accompanying
policy of the Town Council that provides the necessary detail of the process from the initial
preparation of preliminary planning and design to the Final Acceptance Certificate (FAC) for the
infrastructure and the release of securities. The following administrative amendments are to align
the Development Regulations with the new Municipal Development Standards. Several provisions
are repealed as they will now be house in the Municipal Development Standards. Including
reference to the Municipal Development Standards in the Development Regulations will also
support the legal defensibility of the regulatory enforcement of the new standards.
This text amendment also includes an update to the accessory building provisions. This will help
streamline the development approval process for larger accessory buildings, negating the need for
a discretionary development approval of Council.
Lastly, this text amendment also includes an update to the public notice provisions to be consistent
with the new provincial legislative requirements that took effect on December 4, 2024. Previously,
newspaper publication was required for amendments to the Municipal Plan or Development
Regulations. The new changes (section 110.1 of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000,
amended 2024 c30 s 1 1) require the posting of a notice in two conspicuous places in the affected
area and a community-wide notice of the Town's choosing (e.g., website publication or social
media posting can be used in lieu of newspaper publication).
Public Consultation
As per subsection 35(5) of the Urban and Rural Planning Act, 2000, the Town published notice
of the proposed amendments through the following, allowing 10 business days to receive
representations:
(1) Town's website; and
(2) Poster in Town Office.
The Town received no representations on the proposed changes.
