An Opportunity to Help Shape Our City’s Future
Want to be a part of a future that:
- Is more sustainable
- Has a strong and competitive economy
- Concentrates new development within the built up areas
- Protects natural open spaces and parks
- Establishes criteria for the location of private waste disposal systems
If this future is of interest to you, plan to attend and provide your input at the November 27th PUBLIC MEETING of the Economic Development and Planning Committee.
NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING
OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING COMMITTEE
The Economic Development and Planning Committee will be considering Official Plan policies for:
1. Urban Structure
To create a more compact community of offices, housing, shopping around nodes (eg. Limeridge Mall, the downtowns of Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Ancaster and Hamilton) and along corridors (Upper James, King/ Main/ Queenston) which are supported by higher order transit;
2. Cultural Heritage Policies
To protect and enhance our cultural heritage resources (archeology, built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes);
3. Employment Land Use Designations
To protect and support our employment (industrial) areas; and,
4. Private Waste Disposal Systems (thermal treatment, waste processing, transfer and disposal, hazardous waste)
To establish compatibility and locational criteria, the necessary studies and the associated zoning for private waste disposal facilities.
