Proposal Number:

Posting Date:

Summary of Proposal:
The Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing is proposing to amend Ontario Regulation 699/98 (Order Under Subsection 17 (10) of the Act) under the Planning Act in order to permit the County of Dufferin to exempt official plan amendments in the Towns of Orangeville and Mono from County approval, once the County Official Plan comes into effect.
This would have the effect of giving the council of the County of Dufferin the power to exempt all or some official plan amendments of the Towns of Orangeville and Mono from its approval. O. Reg. 525/97 currently exempts official plan amendments of these towns from the Minister?s approval.
It is proposed that the County of Dufferin would receive its new authority on the date the regulation is filed, although no by-law under this authority would have effect until the new County Official Plan is approved and all or part of it is in effect.
Purpose of Regulation:
The Province is committed to a sound, efficient and effective planning system that enhances local autonomy and streamlines decision-making on planning applications.
This proposed regulation would authorize the council of the County of Dufferin to exempt all or some official plan amendments in the Towns of Orangeville and Mono from County approval, once the County Official Plan comes into effect. This authorization would, subject to the discretion of the County, allow these towns to maintain their current approval powers; while recognizing that the County will become their planning approval authority rather than the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing once a County Official Plan is in place.
