Incremental Amendments This OCP may be amended by By-law as needed, in response to senior government requirements, pro- posed land use changes related to development applications, or to maintain consistency with approved Secondary Plans, Council Policies, Master Plans and Strategies and/or capital works programs. Applications for an amendment to the OCP, including the Land Use Designation Map (see Figure 3), shall indicate which significant community benefit will be established as a result of the OCP changing to accommodate a development proposal. Significant community benefit is defined as: an immediate, tangible benefit such as affordable housing, community amenity, environmental protection or enhance- ment, park land or significant public space, or any other community benefit identified by Council. These items exclude from consideration increases in property assessment of taxes and private economic ben- efits associated with new development.
