Advisory County of Simcoe, Office of the Warden and CAO 1110 Highway 26, Midhurst, Ontario L0L 1X0 simcoe.ca FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE County hosts Public Information Sessions on status of Official Plan April 20, 2015 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Simcoe County Museum Midhurst/ March 20, 2015 – The County of Simcoe is hosting two Public Information Sessions on the status and approval process of its Official Plan. The identical sessions will run from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on April 20, 2015 at the Simcoe County Museum, 1151 Highway 26, Minesing, Ontario. The first half hour of each session will feature an informal open house with display boards outlining the County of Simcoe Official Plan approval process, as well as information and considerations that go into the development of an Official Plan. Presentations and Q&A will follow. The Official Plan provides overall direction on land use planning and development matters. The Province of Ontario requires the Official Plan to be in conformity with provincial legislation and policy. Once approved, local municipalities will use the Official Plan to bring their own local official plans into conformity on matters such as growth, environmental protection, sustainable transportation and infrastructure, and resource conservation. County Council first adopted the updated Official Plan in 2008, and due to changes in provincial legislation, the Official Plan was further updated and again endorsed by County Council in 2013. During this period, the Official Plan has been under appeal with the Ontario Municipal Board. The hearing commenced in March 2013 and is ongoing. A brief history of events is as follows: County Council adopted the updated Official Plan in 2008 based on conformity with provincial legislation and policy of the day In 2009 the County appealed the lack of decision on the Official Plan by the Province to the Ontario Municipal Board Approximately 100 other parties joined the hearing process as either appellant parties, parties, or participants since 2009 Between 2009 and 2012 a number of changes were required to the Official Plan in order to conform to emerging provincial legislation including the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan and Growth Plan Amendment 1 (Simcoe Sub-Area) The County provided public notice of the Modified Official Plan and invited public comment during summer 2012 The Modified Official Plan was endorsed by County Council in 2013 The Ontario Municipal Board hearing commenced in March 2013 and is ongoing: of the 148 pages of the Official Plan approximately 70 pages are approved. Of the 489 polices, 352 have been approved by the Ontario Municipal Board The County of Simcoe has no jurisdiction to reconsider matters that have been determined by or are before the Ontario Municipal Board Page 103 of 118 12.a) Announcements of Interest to the Public: Support the O... “Our Official Plan is an important document that will guide growth and responsible planning in our County for future generations,” said Warden Gerry Marshall. “These Public Information Sessions will provide an opportunity for residents to learn about the history and current status of the appeal of our Official Plan, as well as next steps in the process at the Ontario Municipal Board.” Purpose of the Public Information Sessions: At its meeting on March 10, 2015, County Council approved a motion to hold a Public Information Session. The purpose of these sessions is to provide information on the status and approval process of the County of Simcoe Official Plan. As the Official Plan is currently under appeal at the Ontario Municipal Board, residents should be advised that the sessions will be for information only. The County of Simcoe has no jurisdiction to reconsider matters that have been determined by or are before the Ontario Municipal Board. Topics Presented at the Public Information Sessions: The Public Information Sessions will outline the history of the development of the Official Plan, including key milestones and the role that the public, agencies, and Province of Ontario have with the development of the Official Plan. Information will also outline what sections of the Official Plan have been approved by the Ontario Municipal Board and what the timelines are for consideration of the remaining sections and summarize the roles and responsibilities of the County, the Province and public at the Ontario Municipal Board when an Official Plan is appealed.
