There are a few numbers mandated by the province...maximum land supply of 20 years, minimum 10 years of land designated for growth and minimum three years zoned/draft approved. Boundary expansions also have to be justified as part of a comprehensive review. This applies to the neighbouring municipalities as well -> Clarence-Rockland/UCPR recently got in trouble with the province for approving an urban boundary expansion without the proper justification.
