Policy Related to Land Use for Unlicensed Event Venues AMO’S SUBMISSION TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON HERITAGE, INFRASTRUCTURE AND CULTURAL POLICY August 6, 2024 Policy Related to Land Use for Unlicensed Event Venues August 6, 2024 Introduction AMO appreciates the opportunity to provide comments on policy related to land use for unlicensed event venues. [...] Municipalities are responsible for the ambulance, police and firefighting services that respond to these emergencies and are committed to the safety of residents and event attendees. [...] Illegal Dumping and Trucking An issue closely related to land use for unlicensed event venues is land use for illegal and unlicensed trucking operations and dumping. [...] Municipalities cannot be expected to monitor and enforce soil operations alone and need provincial support to ensure that these activities are addressed and stopped. [...] Conclusion To address unlicensed event venues, it is critical for the province to respect municipal autonomy over land use decisions, support zoning bylaw enforcement, and commit to AMO’s Social and Economic Prosperity Review.
