Woodstock City Council may soon have their own planning staff. At their April 4 meeting, the City asked staff to prepare a report that comparing the pros, cons and cost of hiring Planning Services for Zoning administration, Site Plan Approval and Committee of Adjustment services to replace the current service delivery model of using County Staff. The request came as a result of City Council going against a number of County planning recommendations such as the extension of municipal wastewater facilities beyond the urban boundary. Chief Administrative Officer David Creery told council Thursday night a rough estimate shows the current planning services costing the City around $240,000 a year with the cost to hire their own staff at around $110,000 plus administration costs. City Council has now requested the Community and Strategic Planning Office to give a more accurate estimate of the cost of planning services under the Planning Advisory and Administrative Service Agreement using an Area Rating methodology.
