O.M.B. Imposes Strict limits on Parkland Dedication
Following a lengthy hearing between the Town of Richmond Hill and several developer
appellants to the Town's new Official Plan (OP) who received funding assistance from BILD, the
Ontario Municipal Board {OMB) has determined in a January 15, 2015 decision that Richmond
Hill 's use of the alternate rate of 1 ha per 300 units authorized by the Planning Act must be
capped at a maximum of 25 percent of the developable area of the site or the cash-in-lieu
equivalent -regardless of the site area, the density, or the number of units proposed in a
development.
Despite the Board not taking issue with the amount of parkland Richmond Hill has determined
it needs through its detailed Parks Plan, the Town will not meet its parkland needs through
Planning Act dedications and may need to utilize other sources such as the tax base to meet its
needs . Development charges cannot be used for parkland acquisition, and other potential
revenue tools for municipal parkland and recreational needs are extremely limited.
Impact of the OMB Decision
• This decision will set a precedent for OMB adjudication of all new Official Plans that are under
appeal at present and in the future.
• The Development Industry may apply for Official Plan amendments in other municipalities and
seek to have the OMB compel a lowe r park dedication rate as a matter of OP policy . As in
Richmond Hill 's case, it could be substantially lower than what the Planning Act authorizes.
• The Development Industry may use this decision to influence the Provincial Legislature's
current review of Planning Act park dedication, thus lowering the park dedication rate for all
Ontario municipalities.
What Richmond Hill is Doing
• The Town of Richmond Hill has requested that the OMB conduct an internal review of its
decision as provided under Section 43 of the Ontario Municipal Board Act.
• The Town has recently brought an application for Leave to Appeal to the Ontario Divisional
Court on a question of law under Section 96 of the Ontario Municipal Board Act . The Town
intends to ask the Court to determine that the Board has erroneously interpreted the Planning
Act regarding the use of the alternate park dedication rate.
What Your Municipality Can Do
• The Court must understand that this OMB decision may impact all Ontario municipalities that
acquire parkland or cash-in-lieu through the development process, and not just Richmond Hill.
• Richmond Hill is requesting the assistance of municipalities to seek to become a "friend of the
court" during Richmond Hill's leave to appeal hearing which will not only underscore the gravity
of the OMB decision, but also identify the broader municipal impact and matters of public
importance for other municipalities.

O.M.B. Imposes Strict limits on Parkland Dedication
• A request by other municipalities to be a friend of the Court should be filed as soon as possible
and by no later than March 23, 2015 -the date Richmond Hill's material in support of the
Town's motion is to be filed with the Court.
• If this OMB decision is allowed to stand, residents of municipalities may be faced with less
parkland than the previous generation or have no choice but to accept higher taxes just to
sustain existing parkland service levels!
Richmond Hill appreciatively seeks assistance of other municipalities on this matter of
importance to the future of our communities and municipal governance. Please contact Patrick
Lee at (905) 771.2420 (patrick.lee@richmondhill.ca)
