Clarification

A longtime reader of this newspaper phoned the writer of last week's county official plan story to say, among other things, that he was confused by a reference to six municipalities with respect to delegation of lower-tier authority to grant site-plan approvals.

This had been in the context of the loss of Official Plan Amendment exemptions for Orangeville and Mono. As lower-tier municipalities, they would continue to receive “delegated authority” for site plan approval. But they would likely become subject to higher level authority for changes to their Official Plans, the same as anyone else.

The story last week should have included “other” with reference to six municipallities gaining independent site plan approval.

The loss of the single word was a computer glitch. We regret the confusion it might have created.

As previously reported, the provincially imposed requirement for a county OP is a downloading of responsibility. However, the county OP must still meet the provincial vision. That's not much different from County Road 109 having to be maintained to the standards of Provincial Highway 9 at no cost to the province.
