AND TAKE NOTICE that only individuals, corporations, and public bodies may appeal a by-law to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT).

However, a notice of appeal may be filed in the name of an individual who is a member of the association or the group on its behalf.

PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT: The purpose and effect of the recommended action is for Municipal Council to remove the requirement for alternative street widths be listed in Section 4.21 of the Zoning By-law Z.-1, and to make the alternative street width process less restrictive and more flexible moving forward. The recommended amendments would prevent unnecessary Zoning-By-law Amendments solely for a deviation from the required street width. Additionally, the amendments would streamline development approvals by enabling the City to apply criteria for alternate street widths without the need for an Official Plan or Zoning By-law Amendment.
