  • 2018 Official Plan Consolidation
    TOWNSHIP OF NORTH DUMFRIES OFFICIAL PLAN CONSOLIDATION DATE: NOVEMBER 2018 North Dumfries Official Plan Explanatory Note On December 16, 2013, Township Council passed By-law No. 2605-13 to adopt Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 26 to the Official Plan for the Corporation of the Township of North Dumfries, which had the effect of updating the Township’s Official Plan to bring it into conformity with the Regional Official Plan (ROP), the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and to ensure consistency with the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). The Region of Waterloo approved OPA No. 26, in part, with modifications on August 21, 2014 under Section 17 and 26 of the Planning Act. Portions of OPA No. 26 were deferred and various parties appealed part of OPA No. 26 to the Ontario Municipal Board. When the Region approved OPA No. 26, the entire ROP was still under appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board. Some of the key issues under appeal related to: • Area municipal population and employment forecasts to 2031; • Allocation of the Region’s 45 percent residential intensification target; • Minimum density targets for designated greenfield areas; and • Mineral aggregate resource policies. To avoid any potential conflicts between OPA No. 26 and the yet-to-be approved ROP, the Region deferred various policies in OPA No. 26 for further consideration. Some of these deferrals and appeals remain pending at this time and are explained in more detail below. This consolidation also incorporates site specific amendments that have been approved, which are outlined in a table at the end of this Section.
