Notice of Public Meeting - Zoning By-law Amendment (Greenhouse Policy) |
|
Meeting Date: January 27, 2020
Zoning By-law Amendment by the Town of Kingsville
Purpose of the Amendment: To Introduce New Greenhouse Developlment Regulations
The Town of Kingsville has initiated a Housekeeping Amendment to the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law (1-2014), as amended, to implement changes resulting from works undertaken by the Greenhouse Policy Review Committee during the last several months. The changes will include the following:
i) revision of the current policies applicable to the development of greenhouses; ii) amendment to the existing agricultural zones to implement the proposed changes.
Council will also be presented with the Committee’s proposed changes to policies in the Official Plan that apply to both development in general and greenhouses specifically. The intent is for Council to endorse (not approve) the changes for inclusion in the 5 year Official Plan Review Process which will be presented later this year to the public and Council at a separate meeting.
Residents, property owners, business owners and all interested citizens are invited to attend this Public Meeting to learn how the proposed amendments affect them, to ask questions and express concerns to Council. The draft amending by-law will be available on the Town’s website or at the Town office upon request for review. A location map is not provided with this notice, as the proposed amendment applies to all lands within the corporation limits of the Town of Kingsville.
