What role does the official plan serve in a municipality's planning activities?

Is developed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for each municipality to guide local planning.
Provides the primary reference point for municipalities in carrying out local planning activities.
Sets general guidelines but does not impact zoning bylaws and development.
Is managed by a committee of adjustment.
Function mainly as an advisory document with no binding authority.
Acts as a historical record of previous planning decisions.

The correct answer is: Provides the primary reference point for municipalities in carrying out local planning activities.

The official plan plays a crucial role in a municipality's planning activities as it serves as the primary reference point for local planning. This means that the plan outlines the municipality's overall goals and objectives, providing a clear framework for making decisions about development and land use. This is why option B is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because - Option A is incorrect because the official plan is not developed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. - Option C is incorrect because the official plan goes beyond general guidelines and has the authority to impact zoning bylaws and development decisions. - Option D is incorrect because the committee of adjustment does not manage the official plan. - Option E is incorrect because the official plan has binding authority and is not just an advisory document. - Option F is incorrect because the official plan is not just a record of previous planning decisions, but rather a forward-looking document that guides future planning activities.
