By ALF STONG MPP â€" York Centre T h e C o m m i t t e e established to review Ontario’s Planning Act (the Comay Committee) has submitted its recommendations to the Provincial Government. This Report was completed after 18 months of study, during which the Committee travelled across the province, meeting with municipal representat- ives, rural organizations, professional bodies, public groups and the development industry. In'effect, the Report confirmed many Opposition criticisms of the existing planning procedures in Ontario, which are characterized by the Committee as uncertain, inconsistent, with a built-in potential for delay and high cost. The Committee's recommendations are an attempt to decentralize responsibility for plan- ning decisions, and place it in the hands of elected rather than appointed officials. One proposal is that the Minister should establish by regulation the maximum number of public agencies to be consulted in the con- sideration of subdivision plans and deadlines for the receipt of comments from these agencies. Another very in- teresting recommend- ation is that the rgle of the Ontario Municipal Board should be severly limited to that of providing ad- vice to the Minister where municipal decisions are characterized as being unfair. lf implemented. this proposal might eliminate the need for lengthy hearings such as those concerning the Toronto Core area plan, which are having a detrimental effect on construction employment. There is some cause for concern in the fact that the Housing Minister has stated that it will be at least October of this year before he even begins to draft a White Paper on this subject â€"- with no mention being made of a date for legislation.

Such orders are now in effect in many municipalities, and it is the Ministry‘s declared Badges will show tenure with the York Region force, added to service with local police departments previous to the formation of the YRP in 1971. Officers with ex- perience in other police departments also would be eligible for the badges on request. Commissioner- Ray Twinney said he favors the badges because “it does give the general public an idea of ex- perienced men in the field." , fine tuning intention that the orders will be lifted when the municipalities concerned adopt appropriate zoning by-laws. However, the use of Section 32 orders presents serious problems in removing from the municipality the ad- ministration if its own land use controls, and in the awkwardness of securing minor changes through the use of cen- tralized ministerial machinery. In this connection, the Committee proposes that the Minister impose, universally, a “base level" rural by-law providing minimum rural zoning standards. He should, it is felt, be empowered to exempt from this by-law, by regulation, those municipalities that already have adequate by-laws, that adopt such by-laws in the future, or where for particular reasons such by-laws are not necessary or ap- propriate. Provincial interests can also be seriously affected by the unreasonable granting of land separation consents in rural areas. Sears, Mississauga, Square One, Hwy. #1 O and Burnhamthorpe The Ministry now monitors the activities of land division committees and committees of ad- justment on a selective basis, and the Minister can appeal to the Municipal Board any specific consent decisions which are not in ac- cordance with the Ministry's consent guidelines.
