[All] 21 OMB appeals launched regarding ROPP

[Louisette Lanteigne]

(Just found out about this via: Waterloo Food System Roundtable)
Twenty-one Appeals filed on Regional Official Plan

The Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) has received twenty-one
appeals of the Region of Waterloo’s Regional Official Plan (ROP),
including one by the Region itself.   The ROP, which for the first
time contains a section on Local Health Foods, was approved by Regional Council in
June 2009 but needed approval from the provincial government.  The appeals
were filed after the province approved the Council-adopted ROP with several modifications
on December 22, 2010.  While many of the appeals
focus on specific lands excluded from future development areas, some
question the Region’s overall approach to directing where growth may occur.  The Region’s own appeal
seeks to strengthen protections for environmentally-sensitive lands as they
pertain to aggregate extraction (gravel pits).
