REVISIONS TO MUNICIPAL CODE, CHAPTER 683
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY FOR SITE PLAN
RECOMMENDATION:
That the attached "Proposed By-law" dated February 23, 2006, being a by-law to amend Chapter 683
of the City of Kitchener Municipal Code, to appoint the Supervisor of Site Plan Development or the
Director of Planning as the approval authorities for Site Plan Approval, with the General Manager of
Development and Technical Services as the alternate, be adopted.
BACKGROUND:
The current Site Plan Control Bylaw lists the Facilitator of Urban Design and Development or the
Manager of Design and Development or, in either his/her absence, the City's Director of Planning as
being the appointed officers of the City to exercise City Council's powers or authority under section 41
of the Planning Act, to approve plans and drawings, to impose conditions and to require agreements.
The Facilitator of Urban Design and Development job title has been changed to Supervisor of Site Plan
Development and the Manager of Design and Development position no longer exists within the
Development and Technical Services Department, with the recent approval of the reorganization of the
Planning Division.
REPORT:
With the re-organization now in effect, it is appropriate to formalize these development review and
approvals responsibilities with changes to the by-law which delegate such approvals from City Council
to Planning staff. In this respect, the attached By-law will amend By-law 2004-12 to appoint the
Supervisor of Site Plan Development or the Director of Planning as the approval authorities for Site
Plan Approval, with the General Manager of Development and Technical Services as the alternate.
The Planning Division will continue to monitor and implement customer service improvements to the
development review and approvals process.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
COMMUNICATIONS:
None.
