How to write policies and by-laws for the conservation of significant landscapes
Thursday and Friday, September 16 & 17, 2004
At
The Riverside Maples restaurant in scenic rural Waterloo Region
Goal of Workshop
The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS), included under the Ontario Planning Act, requires that significant cultural heritage landscapes be conserved. There have been Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) rulings that have taken this factor into account, there have been initiatives to define and identify heritage landscapes and there are ongoing efforts to bring the issue into focus in Official Plans and other regulatory instruments. However, at this stage and to the best of our knowledge, no one in Ontario has yet drafted and adapted a policy or by-law that sets out measures to conserve cultural heritage landscapes that include private property.
The purpose and goal of this workshop is to provide planners, heritage advisors and policy makers with the tools, background material, and guidance they need to give regulatory form to measures that will accomplish the letter and intent of the PPS.
This is a workshop on how to draft actual policy and frame actual by-laws that will be in compliance with provincial policy.
