And I swear there is a media blackout on this issue. I can find no-one who writes about this or finds this objectionable.

I’m trying to apply for a permit at the city of North York. They are extremely slow.
They are also enforcing both the old and the new bylaw – I find this truly incredible. Many features are conflicting in those documents – so how can both be enforced simultaneously? I suspect virtually no permits have been issued without adjustment for quite some time now. We’ve gone to a lot of effort and expense to comply with the old zoning bylaw – and now they want to enforce both. I don’t mind the new one – but both!

For the record, the new by-law is not yet in effect.
First, the City Clerk has to give written notice of passing of the by-law no later than 15 days after the by-law was passed. A 20-day appeal begins the day after the notice is given.

If there are no appeals, the by-law is deemed to be in effect on the day it was approved by Council.
