Wilkinson	http://www.ottawa.ca/calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/occ/2009/09-23/pec/9%20-%20ACS2009-CCS-PEC-0019-%20Pool%20Enclosure.htm	PI - PGM	In Progress: The Pool Enclosure By-law 2001-259 was amended as per recommendations 1 and 2.

Direction to Staff: That PGM and Legal Services staff outline changes to Section 34 of the Planning Act which allow municipalities to pass zoning by-laws with conditions and recommend what the “prescribed conditions” should be to allow PEC and Council to exercise this new authority.	22-Sep-09		http://ottawa.ca/calendar/ottawa/citycouncil/pec/2009/09-22/englishdisposition60.htm	PI - PGM	In Progress: Section 34 (15) enables Council to prescribe conditions relating to zoning, but in order to do that, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing must make a regulation for this purpose, and that has yet to occur.  When the Ministry creates this regulation, Council will be empowered to utilize the conditional zoning authority of Section 34 (15).  At that time, staff will report to Committee and Council with a recommendation on the means to implement this authority within that regulation.  Staff will report back to Committee when this regulation is enacted. The Province has not indicated when the Regulation will be released; possibly sometime in 2012.  As a result, it is not possible to provide a date by which staff will be able to respond.
