NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING: OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1819-2023
Public Notice is hereby given in accordance with Section 466 of the Local Government Act that a Public Hearing will be held electronically regarding the following bylaw:
- Upper Bridge River Valley Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 608, 1996, Amendment Bylaw No. 1819-2023.
When: Wednesday November 15, 2023 at 6pm
Where: Electronically via Zoom (see details below).
PURPOSE OF BYLAW No. 1819-2023
The bylaw is associated with an application to amend the Official Community Plan (OCP) designation at 8400 Tyaughton Lake Road (District Lot 4932) from Residential (Special Planning Area) to just Residential, as there is no intention to intensify development on the property. The property owner would like to subdivide the property into seven single family lots approximately 8 ha in size, which is provided for under the current RR2 - Rural Resource (8ha) Zoning. To enable subdivision as per the existing zoning, District Lot 4932 must be removed from the Special Planning Area. Amendment Bylaw No. 1819-2023 also ensures no further subdivision beyond what is provided for under the current zoning by including an 8-hectare minimum parcel size policy specific to District Lot 4932.
