Interactive Training on the new Guidelines on Permitted Uses in Ontario’s Prime Agricultural Areas

October 08, 2015

1:45pm-2:45pm

This session will provide participants with the information they need to implement the new Guidelines on Permitted Uses in Ontario’s Prime Agricultural Areas, using municipal tools such as official plan policies, zoning and site plan control. Copies of the Guidelines will be available.
 
Ontario municipalities interpret Provincial Policy Statement policies on permitted uses in prime agricultural areas in many different ways. Drawing the line between acceptable and unacceptable on-farm land uses has always been a challenge. The result has been widely divergent approaches across Ontario. The new Guidelines aim to change that, simplifying the process and increasing consistency.
