Council is in camera right now... discussing the Chiarelli motion perhaps?

Here's the text of the motion


Moved by Councillor R. Chiarelli
Seconded by Councillor S. Desroches

WHEREAS the urban boundary proposed by staff and adopted by The Planning and Environment committee on May 26, 2009 recommended an expansion of the urban boundary to accommodate projected growth in the city of Ottawa over the next 25 years and this recommendation by Committee came after the receiving of over 270 public submissions; and

WHEREAS, when the Comprehensive Five-Year Review Of The Official Plan - Public Meeting ACS2009-ICS-PLA-0080 was debated at Council on June 10, 2009 several motions were adopted that had the effect of reducing the recommended expansion of the urban boundary; and

WHEREAS this decision is now being appealed and part of the basis of that appeal are the amending motions that were adopted by Council on June 10, 2009 reducing the urban boundary and in effect removing select lands for development;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that Council approve that the urban boundary be defined as described in the original Joint Planning and Environment and Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee Report #1 - Comprehensive Five-Year Review Of The Official Plan - Public Meeting (ACS2009-ICS-PLA-0080).
