REPORT TO
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Under Section 436(4) of the Local Government Act (the Act), the Township has sixty days upon resolution to either: a) accept; or b) refuse to accept Metro 2050. At its meeting on June 25, 2021, the MVRD Board referred a draft of Metro 2050 to member jurisdictions for comment.
ATTACHMENT BE.7
Policy 3.12(c)(vi)
An Official Community Plan (OCP) is a policy-oriented document, while Minister's Bylaw Standards and ALC legislation and regulations are regulatory-oriented documents. As one of only two regulated municipalities within the region, the Town has the ability to propose farm or zoning bylaws that differ from the Minister's Bylaw Standards, subject to the approval of the Minister of Agriculture.
Policy 6.9.1
Draft Policy Action 2.3.12(c)(vi) reads: “Adopt regional context statements that include policies that protect the supply of agricultural land and enhance the viability of agriculture, including those that coordinate official Community Plan policies and regulations on zoning by the by-law of the minister. Legislation and regulations of the Commission for Standards and Agricultural Lands.". The City does not support reconciling the policy-oriented document with these regulatory-oriented documents, as this task would introduce an inappropriate level of detail into the OCP.
ATTACHMENT B ___________________E.7
Regional Land Use Designations
There are two locations where the regional land use designations shown on the draft Metro 2050 maps are inconsistent with the land use designations shown on the existing County Regional Context Statement map as described in the table below and shown in Appendix 1. It is recommended that the regional land use designations reflect the land use designations shown on the existing regional context statement map of the municipality (referring to the table above).

Land Use Designation Maps Key Map
While this policy action is currently reflected in the Municipality's Agricultural Sustainability Strategy, it is not related to land use planning and management, and is therefore outside the scope of an RGS. Tenant protections and assistance related to renewal can best be addressed by the Provincial Residential Tenancy Branch.
ATTACHMENT CE.7
The table below summarizes Metro 2050 policies that, in staff's opinion, are outside the scope of planning and land use management, are not regional matters, and/or are not provided for. It is noted that staff do not necessarily object to the intent of these policies, rather their merits in a Regional Growth Strategy (RGS), which in terms of the Local Government Act is intended to deal with regional matters (i.e., a matter which requires coordination between or affecting more than one municipality” related to “human settlement” (i.e. planning and land use management).
ATTACHMENT DE.7
The municipality is willing to include this provision in Metro 2050 because it does not apply to its jurisdiction. The municipality is not willing to have these provisions included in Metro 2050 because they do not apply to its jurisdiction.
