All applications for Official Plan (OP) Amendment, Rezoning or Consent, concerning severances where the subject area of the lot(s) (created and retained) is within the vulnerable areas are screened by planning staff and circulated to the RMO where necessary for review and comment. If there is sufficient land available on a property to be severed that is not located within the vulnerable areas, then an agreement is registered on title dictating the only location on the lot where a septic system may be permitted to be installed. In 2023, the Risk Management Office reviewed twenty-eight (28) Section 59 Applications for Consent concerning the severance of lands in vulnerable areas.

Policy Text:

The City of Greater Sudbury shall prohibit the severance of lots that would require the construction of new septic systems within the WHPA A and B and the IPZ 1 areas with vulnerability scores of 10.

Despite this prohibition, existing registered lots may be developed with an onsite individual septic system and the expansion, maintenance or replacement of existing on-site individual septic systems is allowed.

Monitoring policy M3 applies.

Monitoring Text:

M3: By February 1 of each year, the local planning authority (the City of Greater Sudbury) shall report to the Source Protection Authority on the steps it has taken in the previous calendar year to implement the policies set out in the Source Protection Plan and its decisions under the Planning Act and the Condominium Act.
