By-law 2021-116 Review - March 18, 2022

Township of Muskoka Lakes Planning Division staff will be returning Zoning By-law Amendment Application ZBA-36/21, By-law 2021-116 to Planning Committee for further consideration on Friday March 18, 2022.

Under consideration is an amendment to the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2014-14 to amend existing provisions pertaining to legal non-complying lots, buildings, and structures and to amend and add provisions to assist in regulating the use of accessory buildings in the Waterfront Designation.

A staff report will be attached to Planning Committee’s Agenda Package, which will be available for download here on Friday March 11, 2022 by end of day. The meeting will be held virtually via Zoom and a link to join the meeting will be included in Planning Committee’s Agenda Package.

Please be advised that a recommendation to approve By-law 2021-116 is not being considered at the March 18, 2022 Special Planning Committee meeting. A staff report is being presented, which will provide an overview of public feedback received on the draft By-law, as well as options for potential future changes. Should Committee decide on revisions, it is likely that a further Public Meeting on the By-law will be advertised and which will provide additional opportunities for public comments.
