City asking what principles should guide Secondary Plans in urban boundary expansion areas.
Deadline for comment: May 26
Notes on the arguments in the legal docs.
Ancaster’s heritage advocates worried making Ancaster’s community node part of city-wide density targets will cause the Old Village’s destruction.
Minister of Municipal Affairs Steve Clark calls freezing the urban boundary “anti-housing.” He can overturn Council’s decision.
“The More Homes for Everyone Act should really be renamed the More Money from Campaign Donors Act,” says Ward 8 Hamilton City Councillor John-Paul Danko.
Mayor says to CHCH’s Morning Live says local control of planning is better for Hamilton than the Province dictating boundary expansion. Talks truck routes as well.
Hamilton MPP Donna Skelly (Flamborough-Glanbrook) asked the Minister to comment on Hamilton City Council “pushing an anti-housing and anti-growth ideology.”
For as long as anyone can remember, the development industry’s interests have always won at Council.
Now, online mobilization and membership lists are changing that.
Key highlights of the discussion between Councillors Lloyd Ferguson, John-Paul Danko, Lily Noble of Stop Sprawl Hamilton, and Mike Collin-Williams of the Homebuilders.
City staff tell Environment Hamilton they need more time to complete their comparative analysis and evaluation of the impacts of freezing the urban boundary. City staff ruled out freezing the urban boundary in their initial studies and recommendations.
