Applications for Official Plan Amendment (File No. D09-2024-004), Zoning By-law Amendment (File No. D14-2023-002) and Draft Plan of Subdivision (File No. D12-2024-001) have been received to facilitate a plan of subdivision consisting of the development of employment/employment supportive uses through the creation of 12 employment use blocks, 2 employment supportive use blocks, 1 stormwater management block, a new public street, and a block to conserve natural heritage features on the northern portion of the property. The development is proposed to be accessed by a 26m ROW with one entrance from the 6th Line to the South, with a cul-de-sac at the northern end. Until municipal and sanitary services are available for the project (in accordance with the Innisfil Master Servicing Plan), each development block will provide a well and septic bed, and a dry hydrant for fire protection.

To facilitate the proposed draft plan of subdivision, the Official Plan Amendment (OPA) proposes to reduce the minimum lot area from 5 to 4 hectares for lands designated Employment Areas and not subject to an Employment Supportive Commercial Area Overlay. The OPA also proposes to add an Employment Supportive Commercial Area Overlay to Schedule B6 – Land Use: Innisfil Heights of the Official Plan to permit the development of employment supportive uses on lots of minimum 0.2 hectare. The Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) proposes to re-zone the subject lands from the “Agricultural (AG)” and ‘Environmental Protection (EP)’” Zones to site specific “Industrial General Exception (IG-X)”  and “Commercial Business Park Exception (CBP-X)” Zones and to rezone portions of the lands to ‘Open Space (OS)’ to permit the proposed SWM facility.

The Town has initiated minor amendments to the Town’s Zoning and CPPS By-laws to correct contradictory definitions.

In 2022 the Town of Innisfil adopted By-Law No.’s 046-22 and 047-22 under Section 34(18) of the Planning Act. These amendments added a new ‘Short-Term

Accommodation’ definition and strengthened the Town’s existing by-laws to re-affirm that operators of short-term accommodation and bed and breakfasts must reside at the property. To maintain the Town’s original intent, a minor correction is required to address contradictions in the definitions of “Short Term Accommodation” and “Bed and Breakfast”.

This amendment applies to all properties in the Town of Innisfil, except for the Friday Harbour resort.

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at Town Hall (Council Chambers).

The Town has initiated an amendment to the Zoning By-law (D14-2024-008) respecting revised refreshment vehicle provisions applicable to any refreshment vehicle license within the Town of Innisfil. The amendment proposes changes that will effectively move the refreshment vehicle provisions from the zoning by-law to a licencing by-law. In doing so, the number of refreshment vehicles permitted is proposed to increase from ten (10) to twenty-five (25). Additionally, a provision is proposed which will prohibit refreshment vehicles within 30 metres of any restaurants, on an adjacent property, unless approval from that property owner is obtained.  

The proposed amendment is a textual amendment, and the provisions apply to all licenced refreshment vehicles located within the Town of Innisfil. 

A Public Meeting has been scheduled for Wednesday June 19, 2024 to be held in the Council Chambers at 6:30pm. Please see the below link to the Notice of Town Initiated Zoning By-law Amendment and additional materials for more information.
