The City of Richmond Hill's Site Alteration By-law, passed as By-law 47-25 under the Municipal Act, 2001. Its own text repeals the earlier By-law 166-07. It sets criteria the commissioner considers before issuing a permit, conditions such as retaining walls and erosion control, and tree protection zone measurements and replacement-planting requirements tied to a tree's diameter at breast height. Where a boundary or shared tree is affected, it points to consent requirements under the corporation's tree preservation by-law, also collected in this batch. Passed May 14, 2025.
