On November 24, 2017 staff provided an update to council on the City’s ongoing commercial policy review. This is a critical file for the East End of our city. It is the review staff and council need to inform updates to the official plan and justify decisions that can bring more equitable distribution of commercial lands to east Guelph. I encourage all who are interested to read the report here.

Based on my review, I’ve placed the report on the Committee of the Whole agenda for Monday January 15th for discussion. Further, in advance of the meeting, I posed the following questions to staff seeking clarity on the progress of the review and how the ongoing inequity in east Guelph is being considered. My questions and staff’s response are below.
Be sure to check back here following Monday’s meeting for further updates.
