As the city filed it

On April 6, 2023 as part of Bill 97, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing introduced a new definition for "areas of employment" in both the Planning Act and in the draft Provincial Planning Statement. Several municipalities, including the City of Toronto, have adopted Official Plan Amendments which respond to these legislative changes. The City adopted two Official Plan Amendments, 668 and 680, in response to these changes.

On October 18, 2024, O. Reg. 396/24 was filed by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Subject to this regulation, Official Plan Amendments 680 and 668 will now require approval from the Minister. To date, no decision has been made by the Minister on the City's Official Plan Amendments. On October 9, 2024, the City of Mississauga adopted Official Plan Amendment 182 to update its Official Plan to align with the new definition of "area of employment". The approach applied in Mississauga is similar to Council's adopted Official Plan Amendments 668 and 680. Oakville (Official Plan Amendment 68) and St Catharines (Official Plan Amendment 40) have also taken a similar implementation approach. Mississauga 's Official Plan Amendment 182 has been appealed by several landowners to the Ontario Land Tribunal. A Case Management Conference has been scheduled for March 19, 2025. The City Solicitor requires further directions for upcoming Ontario Land Tribunal proceedings.
