Main St. Development Policy Review Committee

Development within the Main Street East and West study area has been very strong over the last several years. This has consisted of new commercial development, residential intensification, commercial redevelopment and residential conversions. Many of the projects that have been undertaken have required some form of approval under the Planning Act including zoning, site plan approval or severance. As a result, of the ongoing development pressure occurring within the study area, the Town has experienced a variety of impacts including:

 

             i.        increased traffic;

            ii.        potential land use conflict;

           iii.        negative feedback from the public as to the type, scale and character of development;

           iv.        a perceived lack of public input, and

            v.        a lack of cohesive vision for the study area as a whole.

 

To this end Council approved the establishment of an ad hoc Committee to review the current Official Plan and zoning regulations applicable to Main Street development between Heritage Road and Kratz Road. Based on the review process develop recommendations for new, revised or updated policy to form a comprehensive plan for development on Main Street including but not limited to identifying the key development areas, establishment of urban design guidelines and a Downtown Community Improvement Plan, solutions to address traffic management and other areas or issues identified by the Committee.

 

The Committee will be meeting monthly on the first Tuesday of each month. The next meeting date is APRIL 6, 2021 @ 7pm via ZOOM. This will be the initial public open house. 

 

 

Below are items that may be helpful to the committee during the review process. This section will be updated as additional items become available. The Planning Resources section of Planning and Zoning web page also includes items that may be of interest including the full Official Plan (text and maps), Zoning By-law (text and maps) and Provincial Policy Statement.
