On Monday, December 12, the Development & Operations Services Standing Committee Town of Collinwood received a staff report on the ICBL and SCAP update.
The purpose of the report was to request that Committee and Council consider extending the Short-Term Interim Control By-law Exemption Program so the Town can further support shovel-ready development projects to continue within the remaining water capacity up to an annual threshold.
Proposed ICBL short-term exemption first intake timelines (pending 2023 Committee structure/schedule) will include a submission deadline in February, with Council decisions in March.
The report provided an update and proposed amendments to the Servicing Capacity Allocation Policy (SCAP), which included preliminary feedback from the development community. The Development Community will have until January 16, 2023, to provide written comments and feedback on the proposed changes to the SCAP. The amendments are being advanced to increase clarity, streamline processes, and make it easier for smaller-scale and lower-risk developments to proceed, including changes of use, consents, minor site plan or plan of subdivision amendments, and the development of existing vacant lots where no further planning applications are required.
Comments on the proposed SCAP updates can be sent to the attention of Senior Planner Nathan Wukasch nwukasch@collingwood.ca
