February 2025 - Update

Phase II – Technical Review and Issues Identification – of the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law Update continues. This phase of the project is largely technical in nature and involves the Steering Committee, together with the project consultants and staff, working to identify issues with the existing Zoning By-law and potential options to address these issues, and to identify how best to implement Official Plan policies following the recent Official Plan update. Valuable discourse continues with respect to what ultimate directions to take for the update. The Steering Committee meetings are open to the public and other stakeholders to observe.

Phase II will culminate in the presentation of a Draft Background Review and Directions Report to Planning Committee by the project consultants for input and feedback prior to consideration of its final approval. It is anticipated that the Draft Report will be presented to Planning Committee in April 2025. Members of the public and other stakeholders will have an opportunity delegate to Planning Committee.

The next Steering Committee meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 11, 2025 from 1:00 - 4:00 p.m. in Council Chambers. Steering Committee meetings are not being live-streamed, but members of the public are welcome to attend in-person to observe.
