COPY (i) COPY PART A - THE PREAMBLE PURPOSE The purpose of the proposed Official Plan Amendment is to update the Municipality of Meaford Official Plan to reflect recommendations arising from the Municipality of Meaford Waterfront Strategic and Master Plan. BASIS In 2013, The Municipa lity of Meaford , with the assistance of Dillon Consulting, initiated a Waterfront Strategy and Master Planning process to : • implement the Meaford Economic Development Strategy recommendations regarding preservation and promotion of the waterfront; • develop waterfront-specific policy recommendations to guide decision making in the face of future development pressures; and, • provide the necessary info rmation to update the Meaford Harbour Strategic Pla n with consideration to a broader waterfront context. This process resulted in the development of a preferred concept plan; recommendations fo r policy updates affecting the urban waterfront area and adjacent land ; and, a number of recommendations for potential funding strategies to bring about the updated vision, in accordance with the guiding principles established for these lands. The final preferred concept plan - the "Harbour Village"- was selected as it is believed to provide the "greatest opportunities for creating a balanced mix of uses, tourCOPYism activities and economic development in Meaford". Section 6.2 of the Final Waterfront Strategy & Master Plan (May 2014) outlines a number of policy recommendations which have been incorporated within this proposed Official Plan Amendment. These changes affect lands within the Downtown Core Commercial & Transitional Areas and in the Urban Waterfront & Special Policy Areas adjacent to Georgian Bay and the Meaford Harbour. In addition to text amendments affecting the areas noted above, the amendment also proposes a change to Schedule A-1 of the Plan to reflect the renaming of the Harbour Open Space Area designation to Urban Waterfront Area to be more consistent with the wording in the Waterfront Strategy & Master Plan. (ii) COPY PROCESS Key dates in the process were: • Under Section 17 & 21 of the Planning Act, the Municipality held a Public Meeting on July 28th, 2014, Notice having been issued in on July 2nd, 2014 Numerous other formal and informal opportunities for public input were providedthroughout the preparation of the Waterfront Strategy & Master Plan.
