The recommended Official Plan Amendment reflects feedback received through public consultation with stakeholders, including the general public and relevant City Divisions. The Official Plan Amendment responds to provincial policy changes to the Planning Act and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, 2017 and reflects provincial direction to further encourage the creation of second units across the province. The recommended Official Plan Amendment is appended to this report as Attachment 1.
