A By-law to Amend Development Charges By-law 2020-36, as
amended for the County of Northumberland
Whereas the County of Northumberland will experience growth through development
and re-development of lands within the County; and
Whereas development and re-development requires the provision of physical and social
services by the County Northumberland; and
Whereas Council desires to ensure that the capital cost of meeting growth- related
demands does not place an excessive financial burden on the County of
Northumberland or its existing taxpayers while at the same time ensuring new taxpayers
contribute no more than the net capital cost attributable to providing the current level of
services; and
Whereas the Development Charges Act, 1997 (the "Act") provides that the Council of a
County may by by-law impose development charges against land to pay for increased
capital costs required because of increased needs for services; and
Whereas Section 19 of the Act provides for amendments to be made to development
charges by-laws; and
Whereas Section 19(1.1) of the Act permits a municipality to amend a development
charges by-law without following the process otherwise required for by-law
amendments under subsection 19(1) of the Act if the only effect of the amendment is to
repeal a provision specifying the date on which the by-law expires or to amend such a
provision to provide for the by-law to expire on a later date, to repeal a provision
providing for the indexing of a development charge or to amend such a provision to
provide for a development charge not to be indexed, or to decrease the amount of a
development charge that is payable for one or more types of development in the
circumstances specified in the amendment; and
Whereas the Council of the Corporation of the County of Northumberland (hereinafter
called "the Council') has determined that certain amendments should be made to the
Development Charge By-law of the Corporation of the County of Northumberland,
being By-law 2020-36, as amended;
