The new business units were announced.
City Wide Policy and Integration (Whitney Smithers)
- Growth Management
- Intermunicipal planning
- MDP
- Land Use Bylaw
- Urban Design, Heritage etc.
Local Area Planning and Implementation (Matthias Tita)
- Integrates local area planning functions with implementation of projects of some scale (ie. not decks)
- Divided by 3 geographies - North, Central, South
- I believe Urban Development and functions like that will live in this unit.
- I understand parks and transportation planners will be co-located with the land use planners to foster a bit more cross-discipline collaboration.
Inspections and Permit Services (Kevin Griffiths)
- Smaller scale, high volume permits
- BPs
- Inspections and compliance
- Intake
Assessment (Nelson Karpa)
- Same as before
I might be wrong on some of the details there, but this is generally the breakdown.
