As the city filed it

This Motion addresses a concern that has been raised by several Business Improvement Areas across our city. Currently, Business Improvement Areas are only receiving notices for Rezoning, Official Plan, and Minor Variance Applications for developments that are within 120 metres of the their office addresses. In my capacity as the Mayor's Small Business Advocate, I firmly believe that Business Improvement Areas should be informed of any and all development proposals within their boundaries.
