It also requires the city council to establish a Planning Tribunal for its municipal area. The Municipal Planning Tribunal shall decide applications referred to it as per the Municipal Planning Tribunal’s approved terms of reference, the provisions of the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act, 2013 (SPLUMA) and this By-law. The City shall adopt and approve, after public consultation, a single land use scheme for its entire area of jurisdiction. Such scheme shall, among other things, take cognisance of any environmental management instrument adopted by the relevant environmental management authority, and must comply with environmental legislation. The City has a duty to enforce the provisions of its land use scheme and any use of land which is deemed contrary to such land use scheme shall constitute a criminal offence. The City may adopt a By-law aimed at enforcing the provisions of its land use scheme. The City must also adopt and approve a municipal spatial development framework for the municipality. The framework shall include a strategic assessment of the environmental pressures and opportunities within the City’s area of jurisdiction, including the spatial location of environmental sensitivities and high potential agricultural land.
