Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

The official plan for a municipality typically has various objectives. Which of the following is NOT included?

1. Determining priorities for new developments.

2. Describing initiatives for the protection of the environment.

3. Establishing land use plans for a 10 to 15-year period.

4. Creating policies for sound planning across all Ontario municipalities.

5. Setting guidelines for long-term urban expansion.

6. Defining strategies for community economic growth.

The correct answer is: Creating policies for sound planning across all Ontario municipalities.

Creating policies for sound planning across all Ontario municipalities is generally not a responsibility of a municipality's official plan, as each municipality’s official plan is developed independently to reflect its unique needs, challenges, and goals. While the province provides guidelines and frameworks, the specifics of an official plan are localized and tailored to the particular municipality's context. Determining priorities for new developments, describing initiatives for the protection of the environment, establishing land use plans for a specified time period, setting guidelines for long-term urban expansion, and defining strategies for community economic growth are all typical objectives included in a municipality's official plan. These objectives are aimed at guiding development, managing growth, and ensuring the sustainable use of land within the municipality, reflecting that city's priorities and aspirations.
