Overview
The City of Hamilton's guide for City staff and private-sector developers on coordinating Planning Act applications with the Municipal Engineers Association (MEA) Class Environmental Assessment process for roads, water and wastewater infrastructure. It sets out the principles of an integrated process and three scenarios for deciding when to use one, depending on whether the City or the private sector initiates the application or the infrastructure, then notices and consultation, models for official plans, secondary plans and subdivisions, budgeting and implementation, agency roles, appeals and monitoring.
