The Role and Relationship of the Province

Fi P i i lFirst Principles:

M i i li i d f hMunicipalities are not an order of government they are creatures of the Province

Municipalities have no “inherent powers” – only those granted to it by the Province in statue, regulation, policy and guidelines

The Role and Relationship of the Province• In some cases the Province uses municipal staff

to do the work of the Province – “Statutory officers” – eg., CBO– Mandatory compliance with policies and

l PPSplans - eg., PPS– Adjudicative subservience – eg. OMB

• Nature of municipal democracy

The Role and Relationship of the Province• Legal Framework

Official Plan Review

• Planning Act now requires a review of an OP take place no later than five years from adoption

• A review can be a major overhaul or a simple “tweaking”• Usually involves a re-assessment of major policy areas;y j p y ;

– Urban service areas– Natural heritage– Transportation update– Land budgeting (employment lands, retail lands, greenspace)

• Significant opportunity for public engagement• In Burlington the next OP review is due to commence in 2012• We will be beginning the process in Fall, 2011 for completion in early

The Zoning By-Law

Land Use Control and Regulation - ZoningLand Use Control and Regulation Zoning

• Prohibiting• The use of land• The use of land• Erection of buildings• Land uses or buildings where services do not exist

• RegulatingRegulating• Type of construction, height, bulk, location size floor area character

and use of buildings• Minimum frontage or depth of a parcelg p p• Minimum elevation of doors and windows• Loading and parking facilities• Density of development, minimum and maximum heighte s ty o deve op e t, u a d a u e g t

Principles of Zoning By-Law Amendment andPrinciples of Zoning By Law Amendment and Interpretation

• Zoning can only prohibit and regulate as prescribedZoning can only prohibit and regulate as prescribed• Zoning restricts rights in use and construction, but also it

confers rights. What is not prohibited or regulated must be itt dpermitted

• Zoning must conform to the Official Plan (local and regional) and all zoning decisions must be consistent with the PPS and conform to provincial plans

• Zoning vs Policy vs Guideline: as a by-law regulation zoning is more strictly interpreted than Official Plan policies and, y p p ,unlike guidelines, there is no discretion in their application.

Principles of Zoning and Zoning By-LawPrinciples of Zoning and Zoning By Law Amendments

• Zoning is applicable law for the purposes of issuing (or withholding) a building permitZ i d t b i iti t d b th i i lit• Zoning amendments can be initiated by the municipality or other parties (fees involved)

• Planning Act amendments – limits on appeals to alteration of an urban boundary, second suites and employment areas.

• Zoning is not social policy - cannot distinguish on the basis of family relationshipof family relationship

Burlington’s Zoning By-lawg g yPrinciples of Zoning Practice

C d i f• Create and map categories of use – expressed as symbols

• Establish for each zone a legal use and regulate the use inside ause and regulate the use inside a zone ‘envelope’

• Zones should follow “real” lines

• Must be interpreted strictly• No exceptions – only variances

and amendments• Permitted to discriminate in

land ‘uses’ not ‘users’

Dividing Land S bdi i i S dSubdivision, Severance and

Condominium

Division of Land: Subdivision, Severance and C d i iCondominium

• The only legal ways to divide land for sale or i b bdi i iconveyance is by subdivision or severance

• Subdivision or severance? A subdivision is required for the creation of many “lots” where internal roadsfor the creation of many lots where internal roads and servicing are required.

• A severance of a “lot” (or a small number of lots) may be permitted where a subdivision is not required (no internal roads or services)


• A condominium does not divide land; it divides the interest in property• A condominium creates “parcels” and “units” and POTL’s (parcels of

tied land, not “lots”) that may be conveyed along with shared facilities and amenities

• Not a Planning Act approval – but subject to the same considerations and process as a subdivision

• Council decision – conditional approval• Condominium types

– Standard Condominium– Common element condominiumCommon element condominium– Vacant lot condominium– “Condo” conversions (delegated authority)


• Approval for any form land division may be conditional• Approval for any form land division may be conditional. May be subject to an agreement and may invoke the taking of land for parks, roads, creek blocks and public facilities

• Not just for residential uses – all can be used for any type of land use residential employment and retailof land use – residential, employment and retail

Subdivision: Council ApprovalI id i d ft l f bdi i i d h ll b h d thIn considering a draft plan of subdivision, regard shall be had, among other matters, to the health, safety, convenience, accessibility for persons with disabilities and welfare of the present and future inhabitants of the municipality and toand to,

Severances: Approval by Committee ofSeverances: Approval by Committee of Adjustment or Delegated to Staff

• Permitted where a subdivision is not requiredA d l d h i (Di f Pl i ) h h• A delegated authority (Director of Planning) where there are no objections or comments. Otherwise approval is by the Committee of Adjustment in a hearingj g

A “Early days”A. Early days1. Land becomes available and enquiries are made by

prospective buyers2. Conceptual investigation by someone who has “tied up the

land” – contract to purchase subject to conditions3 D fi i i i d l d b i3. Definite interest in development expressed by prospective

owner accompanied by a conceptual plan4. Staff explain what applications will be required4. Staff explain what applications will be required5. Staff advise council members in periodic “Update”

Development process simplifiedB. Pre-consultation

1. One window approach: pre-consultation meeting conducted by city staff, attended by applicant (and technical consultants) and staff of circulated agencies) g

2. Conceptual application agreeable in principle (no approval) as to what applications are required

3. Discussion of requirements for application (forms, studies, fees)

4 Description of process and responsibilities going forward4. Description of process and responsibilities going forward (public meetings, CDC and Council process)

Why do we even consider changing theWhy do we even consider changing the OP and By-law?

Why don’t we simply say no when a change is requested?change is requested?

People rely on the by-law – why shouldPeople rely on the by law why should we change it to accommodate an application by a developer?application by a developer?

Why do we consider changes to the OP and zoning?

• First of all we do say “no” – a lot. There is a significant y gprocess that takes place before it ever becomes public or comes before council.

I iti l i– Initial enquiry– Pre-consultation– Discussions even after an application is made– Discussions even after an application is made

• At all these stages we commonly say “no”• Secondly - we cannot refuse an application that is complete.y pp p


• When the plan and the by-law are written, either no change is p y , gexpected or if change is expected, we do not have an application and cannot asses the detailed impacts of the development so we write policies and rulesdevelopment – so we write policies and rules conservatively/restrictively.

• First to be protective and secondly – where an acceptable change is proposed, we can apply more control through the planning approval process.

• When a major proposal is made and changes to the by law and• When a major proposal is made and changes to the by-law and plan are made we can invoke a process – public notice – public engagement – studies – additional approval authority.


• If the OP and zoning are set exactly to accommodate only the g y ydevelopment desired, then no further approvals are required and the matter need only receive a site plan and building permitpermit.

• This does not guarantee public involvement or further studies and analysis.

• The Planning Act and the process acknowledge this and provide statutory process requirements.


• Cities evolve and change in ways that are not predictableg y p• Planning policy and regulation are an inexact science. It is not

possible or practical to create in advance a set of policies an l ti th t b li d ith t dj t t f thregulations that can be applied without adjustment for the

foreseeable future. • Planning is not “prediction” – it is policy made in a g s ot p ed ct o t s po cy ade

“anticipation” of change designed to manage change.


• The planning process acknowledges this with opportunities p g p g ppand a rigorous process for managing change

• Change can be . . . – Initiated by municipality– Initiated by private individuals– Required periodically by statutory review (5 years)
