Planning Applications

Applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision (File: D12-2023-002), Official Plan Amendment (File: D09-2023-001) and Zoning By-law Amendment (File: D14-2022-008) have been received to facilitate a draft plan of subdivision including a commercial lot and 46 residential single detached lots including an existing heritage dwelling on partial services (municipal communal well and private individual on-site septic). 

The Official Plan Amendment proposes to increase the maximum permitted density of the site from 2.5 units per net hectare as per the Hamlet Residential Area designation, to 7.8 units per net hectare, expand the boundary of the ‘Hamlet Commercial Area’ designation to facilitate the proposed commercial block and redesignate the proposed park block from ‘Hamlet Residential Area’ to ‘Parks and Open Space’. The amendment would also update the boundary of the Hazard Land Overlay on the subject lands and exempt the lands from Official Plan policy 10.1.15 which restricts residential block lengths to a maximum length of 230m. 

 The Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to re-zone the subject lands from the ‘Agricultural General (AG)’ Zone to the ‘Residential 1 Hold (R1(H))’ Zone, ‘Residential 1 Exception Hold (R1-54(H))’ Zone, ‘Commercial Village (CV)’ Zone and ‘Open Space (OS)’ Zone to facilitate the proposed development.
