On Council agenda there is a report with an update on our new Official Plan (OP).  We cheered and were proud when Council approved it in September 2019; then we cheered again in October 2020 when York Region approved it.  But, it is still not “in force” as 12 appeals were registered.  The report provides some details of these appeals and next steps.  Until the appeals are resolved the current OP and all its numerous amendments are what is ” in force”.  Although not “in force”, Our King does define what we want, what we want our direction of growth and evoltuion to be. Once it is “in force”, there can be no applications for an official plan amendment for two years.
