Planning Advisory Committee – Status of Plans of Subdivision and Condominium in Frontenac County
Recommendation This report is for information purposes only. Background This report outlines at a high level the current plans of subdivision and condominium that are currently active across the County of Frontenac. This report is intended to provide an update for new Planning Advisory Committee members as to the current status of these files and process for development approval. The County of Frontenac is the approval authority for plans of subdivision and condominium across the County. Plans of subdivision or condominium are required when the proposed development requires a comprehensive approach and it is determined that a consent application is not the correct manner to proceed; policy direction for subdividing land is found within the Provincial Policy Statement (2014) and the County and Township Official Plans. Applications are submitted to the County of Frontenac and once deemed complete are circulated to the required agencies for comments and conditions for draft approval and then brought to the Planning Advisory Committee with a recommendation from County planning staff. The status of plans of subdivision and condominium generally fall into one of four categories: Pre-application: In the pre-application stage time is spent with the applicant providing feedback on the proposal, determine study requirements, reviewing draft studies and liaising with the consultants. The County coordinates a minimum of one formal preconsultation meeting with the commenting agencies in attendance (e.g. Township, conservation authority, KFL&A Public Health, etc.) and require that the County peer review hydrogeologist attend the site with the proponent’s hydrogeologist. Complete Application (Application Review): During the complete application stage, the application is under review. The plan is circulated to all required agencies and the
public in accordance with the Planning Act and the required public meeting is held by the Planning Advisory Committee. The County receives recommended conditions from each of the commenting agencies and considers all oral and written comments received by the public. A recommendation report is prepared by County planning staff for the Planning Advisory Committee and forwarded with a recommendation to County Council. Under the Planning Act, the County has 180 days to make a decision on the file; following this time period the developer may appeal a non-decision. Draft Approval: Having considered the application and all comments received, County Council may either draft approve or refuse the plan of subdivision or condominium proposal. The Clerk issues a Notice of Decision reflecting the Council decision and the 20 day appeal period to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal commences. If no appeals are received, the applicant must satisfy each of the conditions of draft approval. The Township prepares a subdivision/condominium agreement which is required to be entered into by both the owner and the Township. Conditions of draft approval may require the developer to undertake additional studies or apply to the Township for a zoning bylaw amendment. The County typically provides the developer with 3 years to complete draft approval. Under the Planning Act, the owner has the right to apply to the County for an extension of draft plan approval. Final Approval: One the County has received clearance letters from the required letters advising that the conditions of draft approval have been met to their satisfaction, the County issues final approval. The Director of Planning and Economic Development has delegated authority under By-law No. 2016-0006 being a bylaw to establish a Delegation of Authority Policy to authorize the delegation of certain powers and duties under the Municipal Act, the Planning Act and other Acts. Provisions within Bylaw No. 2016-0006 outline circumstances when final approval may be a Council decision. Following the issuance of final approval, the Township and commenting agencies play an active role in ensuring that the proposed development meets legislated requirements and is in compliance with the subdivision or condominium agreement. Attachment 1 of this report outlines the location and status of each subdivision or condominium file across the County. Attachments 2-4, show the status of each development by Township (please note there are no active files within the Township of Central Frontenac).

- Developer nearing completion of fulfilling conditions; County awaiting receipt of clearance letters from required agencies Comment Approval through plans of subdivision or condominium ensure that the land is suitable for the proposed new use or intensity of development, that the proposal conforms to the official plans and zoning as well as to Provincial legislation and policies, and ensure that the community is protected from developments which are inappropriate or may put an undue strain on community facilities, services or finances. These developments require the submission of studies and are a more comprehensive process compared to consent applications (severances). Planning staff are working to identify efficiencies in the planning process to ensure that these comprehensive developments are proposed in a timely manner and that applicants are aware of the process and expectations. As such, the County is in the process of updating guidance documents and the planning webpage on the County website. Due to the complex nature of these files, the County is reviewing staffing capacity to ensure that suitable capacity exists to meet legislated timeframes. Sustainability Implications One of the key focus areas of Directions for Our Future, the County’s Sustainability Plan, is Land Use Planning and Management. From a sustainability perspective, this involves an approach that ensures a clean and healthy environment, a strong economy, and long term viability. Plans of subdivision and condominium represent a comprehensive form of development resulting in sustainable community growth; it is important that County staff have adequate resources to process these files and ensure transparency with the public. Directions for Our Future identifies transparency within good governance; this information report serves as a document that the public can review to understand where development is proposed or draft approved across the County. Financial Implications There are no direct financial implications to the County of Frontenac. Organizations, Departments and Individuals Consulted and/or Affected Township Planning Staff
