How do you measure a setback?

by Dianne Saxe on November 4, 2009

say what?As I am writing my commentary on the new renewable energy approvals regulations, I have noticed an unusual wrinkle. Unlike all other Ministry of the Environment setbacks, noise  setbacks are measured from the centre of the noise receptor property/building, not from the property boundary. See section 1(4)  of Ontario Regulation 359/09. This may significantly reduce the adverse effect of such setbacks on wind energy development in Ontario.
