However, this does not affect the City's right to assert that Zoning By-law No. 001-2021, as amended hereto, to the extent brought into force by this Order and the Tribunal's Final Order, should be applied to specific sites or areas without amendment on the basis that doing so is consistent with the Planning Act and provincial policies, conforms to provincial and official plans and/or constitutes good planning.
