NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING FOR A PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT

TAKE NOTICE a statutory public meeting is taking place to discuss a proposed Amendment Zoning By-law affecting the property described above. The application was deemed complete on March 18, 2025 pursuant to Section 34 (10.4) of the Planning Act in accordance with the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. O. Reg. 545/06 s. 5

Purpose and Effect: The applicant has submitted a Listowel Ward Official Plan Amendment to change the Official Plan Designation from Residential to Highway Commercial. An application for Zoning By-law Amendment has also been submitted to re-zone the subject lands from Special Future Development Zone (FD-7) to Special Highway Commercial Zone (C3-31). The subject applications will facilitate the development of an automobile sales and service establishment. The site is currently vacant and is used for overflow parking to support the neighbouring business.

The site-specific nature of the Zoning By-law Amendment is for the following relief:

·         To reduce the minimum lot frontage from 1,400 m² to 1,360 m²;

·         To reduce the minimum lot frontage from 45 m to 44 m;

·         To reduce the minimum front yard depth from 10.5 m to 4 m**;

·         To reduce the minimum interior side yard width from 7.5 m to 3 m along the northern property line; and

·         To reduce the minimum rear yard depth from 6 m to 3 m.

**The original Notice of Complete Application, circulated on April 9^th, 2025, detailed a front yard depth reduction from 10.5 m to 3 m. Upon further discussions with the applicant and the municipality, the owners have agreed to amend their application to include a front yard depth reduction from 10.5 m to 4 m.
