The Official Plan Review team will be introducing the first working draft of One King, King Township’s new draft official plan to Committee of the Whole in a working session meeting on Thursday, November 30 at 7PM in Council Chambers.  Members of the public are invited to attend the presentation to learn about the new draft official plan and the next steps of the review process. Opportunities for public comment and participation will be provided in subsequent forums.  The draft is anticipated to be released to the public in December 2017. Early in 2018, a Public Open House and subsequent formal Pubic Meeting will be held where members of the public can ask questions and provide comments. For a review of Official Plan process to date see here.

Given how important this is to King as it very specifically impacts how your community evolves I am frustrated at how long this is taking.  Having said that I concur there would be no point in doing this exercise without an insistence on quality. Very complex questions are addressed:  population, where development to occur (e.g. greenfield, brown field), intensification.
