EVANS Centre Ward Whitby Town Council, and more particularly the administrative (planning) committee have corne under criticismn during these past few months for not being responsive to the concerns of the citizens in planning matters. The main concern appears to be the notification of the public regarding zonîng changes. Zoning changes usually occur in one of two ways. Where the proposed zoning conforms to the Officiai Plans of the town and the region, a by-law changing the zoning is the only requirement and it is not necessary to notify the public until af ter the by-law is passed. At that point, the only recourse for the public is to object to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a zoning change does not comply with the Of- ficiaI Plans, then an amendrnent to one or both of- ficiaI plans is required before the zoning by-law can be effected. The officiai plans of the town and region are in effect 'master plans' for the overal design of the town and region, and stae generally what activities are permitted. Zoning by-laws en- compass smaller areas and are more specîfic and limiting as to possible uses of lands affected. Whenever an officiai plan must be amended, a public meeting is held before any changes are passed by council. It is, therefore, only zoning by-laws conforming to off iciai plans which create problenis with respect to public input. If council or staff realize a zoning by- law is contentious, then a public meeting rnay be held. The difficulty arises when council and staff do flot realize that there may be great opposition to a zoning by-law. These types of zoning by-laws usually relate to an area no larger than a standard building.lot, and corne before council so frequently that it would be impractical to cail public meetings in each case. As your council, we try our utrnost to respond to your concerns. We are bound to make mistakes from time to time, and undoubtedly you wiII disagree with our decisions at other times. The im- portant thing to remember is that we are working for you, not against. Your construct i %e criticisrns and concerfis are always welcome.
