Staff Report PDS.24.141 and the Official Plan draft were presented at the Committee of the Whole meeting on December 10, 2024.

Following thorough discussion, the Committee voted to receive the report but did not proceed to adopt the final Official Plan draft at this time.

Instead, the Committee directed Town staff to include the Master Drainage Plan within the Official Plan Amendment and to prepare a further staff report for Council consideration that will include:

  • Options for building heights
  • Parkland dedication
  • Time and budget investments to date
  • Linkages to the 2023 Housing Needs Assessment
  • Wording changes with regard to access points in residential developments with specific reference to the Georgian Trail

These recommendations will return to Council for approval on December 16, 2024. The subsequent staff report is expected to be presented in the new year and will be made available once released in an agenda package.
