These requirements are intended to prioritize increasing housing supply in land-use planning, regulations, decisions, and development approvals under the municipal planning strategy (the Regional Plan). The legislation requires the municipality to make changes to its plans and by-laws to meet these requirements. On October 1, 2024<\/a>,* Regional Council directed staff to consider the Minimum Planning Requirements as part of the Regional Plan Review process.*Link is to the Agenda. Also view Minutes<\/a> and Video<\/a>.<\/small>
