Explanatory Note

Under The Planning Act, if changes to a development plan by-law, zoning by-law or secondary plan have been initiated, an application for a development permit may be held for up to 125 days if the proposed development does not conform with the pending changes.

This Bill shortens that period from 125 days to 90 days.
