The County of Peterborough, together with the Townships of Asphodel-Norwood, Douro-Dummer, North Kawartha and Selwyn have initiated an Official Plan Amendment to the Local Component of the County Official Plan in accordance with Section 22 of the Planning Act. The amendment has been assigned file number 15OP-22010.

Purpose and Effect of Amendment
The proposed Official Plan Amendment is housekeeping in nature and adds language to the Local Component of the County Official Plan to address and clarify legislative changes made by the More Homes for Everyone Act, 2022 (Bill 109). These new policies allow each Township to determine complete application requirements for site plans and zoning by-law amendments, sets out requirements for consultation and provides authority for delegation to staff for minor zoning by-law amendments. A draft copy of the Official Plan Amendment is available for public review and comment.
