| Proposed Changes To Landscaping Requirements | ||||||
|
In December 2018 Council directed staff to proceed with a review of the landscaping standards as they relate to Plans of Subdivision and Site Plan Approval. The Elmira Greening Report as presented to Council by the Township of Woolwich Environmental Enhancement Committee recommended a number of changes to help green the Township, which included amendments to the Township landscaping standards for subdivisions and site plans. The Township is also seeking to add the design and landscape requirements from the Breslau Secondary Plan into this new Design Guideline manual and have these items apply across the Township to create a consistent set of standards for the entire municipality. Background information that can be viewed includes: Existing Township Landscape Guidelines Existing Site Plan / Development Approval Process Guidelines Report to Council in December of 2018 Summary of the Proposed Changes A public meeting to discuss the proposed changes to the landscaping standards will be held on Tuesday May 7, 2019 at 7 pm.

| Scoped Official Plan Review (Boundary Rationalization) | ||||||
|
The Township is required to bring our Official Plan into conformity with both Provincial policy and the new Region Official Plan. In 2011 staff presented a report to Council regarding the major changes and issues proposed in the review. One of the changes noted was the rationalization of settlement boundaries. Planning staff have prepared a report regarding the recommended Boundary Rationalization for Breslau that will be presented to Committee of the Whole on August 27, 2019. Please note this report includes a recommendation for the rationalization of lands for Breslau only. Due to Provincial Policy changes rationaliztion of lands for the Rural Settlements is unable to proceed. Below you can view the staff report.
Earlier reports and information regarding the scoped Official Plan process and proposed rataionalization can be viewed below.
