The City of Richmond Hill Official Plan of Amendment 18.1 proposes to make the following changes to our neighbourhood and community: 

The purpose of this Amendment to the Richmond Hill Official Plan is to add
automotive uses, including sales, as a permitted use within various employment
designations, namely “Employment Area”, “Employment Corridor”, and “Office”.
The Amendment also adds design criteria specific to automotive uses locating in
employment designations.

As concerned residents of the City of Richmond Hill, we oppose the current draft official plan amendment and would like to propose an alternative to the permitted use of the lands affected. We believe that car dealerships and auto repair shops do not belong in this area of our community and do not transform our neighbourhood in a manner that is consistent with our vision.

If you cannot attend public meetings, we encourage you to sign this petition to support a better approach to commercializing the lands surrounding our community.

More information can be found here at the City of Richmond Hill website.

Let's make our voices heard by Richmond Hill City Council and the Commissioner.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to bringing about positive change and progress to our community!
