Notice of Intention to Pass an Amending By-law to Remove a Holding “H” Symbol: July 12, 2023

The Town of Penetanguishene Council will hold a Public Meeting on July 12, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. to pass a Zoning By-law amendment to remove a Holding “H” Symbol from the Zoning By-law as per Section 36 of the Planning Act R.S.O 1990 c.P.13. The Council Meeting will take place as a hybrid model including in-person and electronic participation (through the Zoom platform) for Council, staff, and the public. Please contact the Town Clerk, Stacey Cooper at scooper@penetanguishene.ca or call 705-549-7453 for more information.

The lands affected by the proposed amendment is municipally known as 280 Watson Road and is within the Septic Reinspection Overlay Holding zone (see Location Map attached). The zoning was approved with a Holding “H” Symbol to indicate that no new dwelling unit shall be constructed, nor shall any enlargement, renovation or addition to the habitable area of an existing dwelling unit be permitted until it can be demonstrated that the septic system for the proposed or existing dwelling unit conforms to current Provincial standards. The Owner has fulfilled the necessary requirements pertaining to the Holding “H” Symbol and the Town is therefore in a position to remove the Holding “H” Symbol.

Any person wishing further information and material or clarification with regard to the application or to arrange to inspect the file should contact the Planning and Community Development Department at 705-549-7453 ext. 251.

For more information about this matter, contact the Planning and Community Development Department at otaylor@penetanguishene.ca or 705-549-7453 ext. 251.
