(a) Presentation by Planning Department Mr. Kitchen reviewed Planning Department Report No. P which provided background information wi respect to a proposed general amendment to e Township Zoning By-law to restrict e issuance of Building Permits relative to e availability of municipal services. He advised at as a result of e Province s building regulatory reforms, a general zoning by-law pursuant to section 34(5) of e Planning Act is required to provide full auority under e Building Code for e Township to wihold a building permit until municipal services are available and provided. The intent is to ensure necessary municipal services are available and operational to provide fire protection, access for emergency vehicles, potable municipal water, and sanitary and storm servicing. This would be consistent wi e Township s typical and current practice which has traditionally been implemented rough provisions in Subdivision Agreements and or Site Plan Agreements. Mr. Kitchen advised at pursuant to e provincial reforms, ese Agreements are no longer applicable law in is context, and erefore e zoning amendment would provide e necessary legal mechanism. The general amendment is also required to comply, in part, wi e Region of York s Water and Wastewater Servicing Protocol for e provision of Regional conditions of draft approval and to allow e processing of major development applications to proceed.
