Windsor. A number of them would require an approved Community Improvement Plan under the Planning Act to implement, while others would be implemented through their respective enabling legislation.

Council direction would be required to undertake a CIP specifically for affordable housing. The preparation of a CIP would be consistent with and an implementation tool for the legislatively mandated Home, Together: Windsor Essex Housing and Homelessness Master Plan approved by City Council on December 2, 2019 (CR612/2019) and the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on March 24, 2020. A CIP with financial incentive programs would also be an important implementation tool in support of a number of the strategies identified in Home, Together plan.

The implementation of the incentives identified under Part II - Regulatory Changes (Non-CIP Incentives) should be given consideration after being evaluated individually within the context of their original intent and its legislative framework. This would avoid any negative unintended consequences that may arise from moving forward with a direction before having a thorough understanding of the issue and possible solution.
