DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT

The property is subject to provisional consent to sever approval (File No. B6/2023) which is conditional upon approval of a Zoning By-law Amendment application to apply a holding symbol to the Retained Lot (see Location Map). A holding symbol is a tool under section 36 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990 that is used to limit or prohibit development until certain technical matters are addressed. In this case, the purpose of applying the holding symbol is to prohibit development of the Retained Lot until a development application is submitted to the Town and approved by Council. The purpose of the holding symbol is to ensure the efficient and orderly future development of the Retained Lot. No development is proposed as part of this application. Should development be proposed in the future, additional notice will be provided, and an additional public meeting will be scheduled.
