Prince Edward County is hosting a statutory public open house for its Comprehensive Zoning By-law Tuesday September 17.
The community can provide input on the second draft of the by-law.
The statutory public open house is required under the Ontario Planning Act.
The municipality’s Zoning By-law sets out rules for how land is used and developed.
It outlines what is permitted for development on your property and implications for development of your property, such as:
- Constructing a new home or building
- Building an addition, such as an extension to a house or attached garage, or an accessory structure like a detached garage, shed, or gazebo
- Adding a porch or deck
- Adding an additional dwelling unit or units
- Changing the use of your property (i.e., commercial to residential)
- Severing a portion of your property
The format of the public open house will be as follows:
- A brief presentation by the County’s project consultant, WSP, will begin at 6:15 p.m. The presentation will include an overview of the second draft of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and proposed key changes to the document.
- An open question and answer session with the project team.
The second draft of the Comprehensive Zoning By-law and the maps are available for review on the municipality’s public engagement platform, Have Your Say.
General questions or comments can also be submitted to Michael Michaud, Manager of Planning, County of Prince Edward, at mmichaud@pecounty.on.ca.
The meeting will be held at Rotary Hall at the Prince Edward Community Centre in Picton from 6-8 p.m.
