As the city filed it

This report recommends City Council approve a City-Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment which proposes revisions to the Woburn Community By-law 9510, as amended by Site Specific Zoning By-law 22913, in order to reallocate unspent Section 37 funds. The in-force zoning and associated Section 37 agreement, approved in 1990, does not include a reallocation clause for unspent monies. No new development is contemplated on the subject property.

It is proposed to amend the Section 37 provision of By-law 22913 to allow for the potential reallocation of unspent Section 37 funds. The proposed amendment would allow the unspent monies secured in the amount of $213,747.92 and currently allocated towards streetscape improvements, be reallocated towards other purposes such as or for general park improvements, including a splashpad within the Ward. The amendment to the site-specific zoning by-law listed above intends to include what is now a standard reallocation authority as found in other site-specific zoning by-laws enacted after 2013. Namely, the proposed amendment would authorize reallocation of unspent funds at the discretion of the Chief Planner and Executive Director, City Planning in consultation with the Ward Councillor.
