Shaping Guelph Official Plan Amendment 80: Open House and Public Meeting
The official plan amendment for the Shaping Guelph Official Plan Review is available for review and comment.
This Official Plan Amendment (OPA 80) proposes to revise the Official Plan’s vision, urban structure, population and employment figures, density and intensification targets and associated policies and land use designations as part of the City’s municipal comprehensive review for conformity with A Place to Grow: The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. This amendment also revises the Official Plan for conformity and consistency with:
- Recent amendments to the Planning Act
- Recent amendments to the Clean Water Act, and
- The Provincial Policy Statement (2020).
Amendments to improve clarity for implementation or to address city approved plans, procedures or Council decisions are also included along with housekeeping changes related to such things as, for example, names of provincial ministries, to update municipal address references or to correct policy numbering references. OPA 80 also includes revisions to implement the recommendations of the York/Elizabeth Land Use study.
