Title
West Point Estates Development Petition Report
Proposed Motion
That the West Point Estates Development Petition Report be received for information, as presented.
Body
Administration Recommendation
Administration supports the proposed motion.
Purpose
To fulfill the Chief Administrative Officer's (CAO) responsibility to report to Council on the sufficiency of the petition.
Summary
A petition was received by Administration on June 10, 2017, providing opposition to the rezoning necessary to faciltate the development and allocation of municipal funds to support any County road modifications for the development. The West Point Estates Development Petition is insufficient due to deficiencies in the requirements of Sections 223, 224(2)(a), 224(2)(c), 224(2)(d), 224(3)(a), 224(3)(b) and 224(4) of the Municipal Government Act.
Petition Policy C-AD09 allows petitions that do not meet the requirements of the Municipal Government Act to be considered a Petition or Statement of Support that reinforces public participation and communicates the opinions of residents. Under this policy the CAO can direct Administration to take an action on a Statement of Support if they desire.
Strategic Plan/Policy/Legal/Staff Implications
Section 224 of the Municipal Government Act provides the legislated requirements for a petition. Section 226 of the Municipal Government Act requires the Chief Administrative Officer to make a report to Council on the sufficiency of a petition.
