Whereas subsection 2(1) of the Development
Charges Act, 1997, c. 27, as

costs required because of increased needs for services arising from the
development of the area of which the by-law applies;
And whereas the Council of the Corporation of the County of Essex ( the
County") has given Notice in accordance with Section 12 of the Act of its
intention to pass a by- law under Section 2 of the said Act;
And whereas Council has heard all persons who applied to be heard no
matter whether in objection to, or in support of, the development charge
proposal at a public meeting held on October 1, 2025;
And whereas Council had before it a report entitled 2025 Development
Charges Background Study dated April 22, 2025 ( the " Study"), prepared by
Hemson Consulting Ltd., wherein it is indicated that the development of any
land within the County will increase the need for services as defined herein;
And whereas copies of the Study were made available to the public on April
22, 2025, and copies of the proposed development
charges by- law were
made available to the public on September 17, 2025, in accordance with
Section 12 of the Act;
And whereas by resolution adopted by Council on February 4, 2026,
Council determined that the increase in the need for services attributable to
the anticipated development

capital costs, will be met by updating the capital budget and forecast for the
County, where appropriate.

Council approved the Study and determined that no further public meetings
were required under Section 12 of the Act;

And whereas the Study includes an Asset Management Plan that deals with
all assets whose capital costs are intended to be funded under the
