Enforcement
The Building Division conducted a city-wide enforcement blitz on March 27, 2019 that identified 26 parcels with Transport Terminals that violated the Zoning By-law or lacked site plan approval pursuant to Site Plan Control By-law 1-2004. The subject parcel was not identified as one of the 26 parcels. As of the date of this report, there has been no enforcement against the parcel in regard to the operation of a Transport Terminal.
Interim Control By-law 78-2019
Section 38(1) of the Planning Act permits a municipality to pass an interim control by- law (ICBL) that prohibits the use of land, buildings or structures for such purposes as set out in the by-law. This in effect “freezes” development on the lands (as described by the by-law) for a period not to exceed one year. An ICBL is an important planning tool that allows the municipality to rethink its current land use policies by suspending development that may end up conflicting with any new policy that may be developed.
