Meeting Date: Deferred by Council on Oct 15, 2019 new meeting date TBD
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.

| Notice of Public Meeting - Zoning By-law Amendment/Site Plan Approval |
|
Meeting Date: November 12, 2019
Application for Zoning By-law Amendment & Site Plan Approval by: M & M Farms Ltd. 1775 Road 4 E (County Road 18)
Description: The subject land is a 0.356 ha (0.88 ac.) rural residential parcel. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing dwelling and outbuilding from the property to construct a new bunkhouse to supplement their worker housing needs on the abutting lot. While the lot is in the A1 zone its size limits the uses, not permitting a bunkhouse. In addition bunkhouses are supposed to be located on the same lot as the parcel they are servicing. The proposed amendment would permit a bunkhouse accessory to the abutting greenhouse complex. Site plan approval would be required to bring the subject lands under the blanket of the same agreement as the abutting parcel.
