The date of the meeting time and place is:

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

1:30 p.m. Committee Room 'A'

York Region Administrative Centre

17250 Yonge Street, Newmarket, Ontario

The Amendment deals with the following:

Policy 2.5.1 - is amended by deletion of the words "as identified through" on lines 6 and 7 to be replaced by the words "as defined by" in the same place.*

Policy 5.4.1 - Add reference to "East Gwillimbury and Georgina" in the list of communities with Local Centres.

Policy 5.8.7 - Refer to the Provincial Policy Statement requirements instead of the Foodland Guidelines as the standard against which non-farm land uses in the Agriculture Policy Area are evaluated.
