The Planning Act and The City of Winnipeg Charter are amended. The timelines and requirements for Municipal Board hearings, recommendations and reports for planning applications and appeals are clarified. If sufficient public objections are received in respect of the adoption or amendment of a secondary plan or a zoning by-law, the record of the public hearing on the by-law and related documents must be referred to the Municipal Board; the Municipal Board must review the record and provide its recommendation to the board or council within 120 days; and the board or council must consider the Municipal Board's recommendations when deciding whether to proceed to adopt or amend the secondary plan or zoning by-law. If a government authority or a planning authority objects to the adoption or amendment of a secondary plan or zoning by-law, the Municipal Board is required to hold a hearing, and the order made by the Board after the hearing is binding on the board or council. The provisions that provide for costs in circumstances of unreasonable delay when a matter is before the Municipal Board are repealed.

The procedure for authorized changes to all livestock operations is clarified.
