Official Plan Review
The Our King Official Plan was adopted by Township Council on September 23, 2019, and subsequently approved by York Region on September 24, 2020, subject to modifications and three site-specific deferrals. The Official Plan was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) by multiple appellants.
The Township has been successful in scoping the appeals to bring most of the Plan into effect. Some sections, policies, and schedules remain under appeal on either a site/area-specific or Township-wide basis. To view an annotated version of the Official Plan text please see the Document Library; annotated Schedules will follow.
The Official Plan establishes a comprehensive, long-term vision for the future of the Township as a whole and a detailed policy framework to guide growth and development in the Township’s Villages, Hamlets and rural area. The Official Plan addresses the Township’s long-term planning requirements to the year 2031 and brings the Township into conformity with recent Provincial and upper-tier land use policy direction.
