TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the City of Orillia will hold an Electronic Public Meeting on Monday, September 19th, 2022 at 12:00 p.m., or as soon thereafter as the matter can be dealt with, to consider the following municipally-initiated Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments:
Purpose and Effect:
The purpose and effect of the proposed Housekeeping Amendments to the City’s Official Plan is to bring the City’s Official Plan into compliance with recent Provincial changes to the Planning Act which propose new minimum submission requirements for Site Plan Approval applications and updated minimum submission requirements for Official Plan Amendments, Zoning By-law Amendments, Draft Plans of Subdivision/Condominium, and Consent applications as a result of Bill 109 (More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022).
The proposed Housekeeping Amendments to the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law propose minor changes to existing definitions and text in order to further improve and clarify the City’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2014-44, as amended.
INFORMATION AVAILABLE:

Oral and Written Submissions – Appeal:
If a person or public body would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the City of Orillia to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting or make written submissions to the Council of the Corporation of the City of Orillia before the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.
If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a Public Meeting, or does not make a written submission to the Council of the Corporation of the City of Orillia before the proposed Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment is adopted, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
Individuals who make written submissions should be aware that their submission and any personal information in their correspondence will become part of the public record and made available to the Applicant, Committee and Council.
