Specifically, we would like to acknowledge the presence of the Three Fires Confederacy Ojibwe, Odawa, Potawatomi and Huron/Wendat Peoples.

Introduction and Purpose of Meeting
 

The purpose of the meeting is to hear public comment on a Zoning By-law Amendment application that has been submitted for a 41.0 hectare (101.3 acre) parcel of land at 6067 Walker Road. The purpose of the application is to amend Zoning By-law 85-18 by: i) rezoning the 0.51 hectare (1.26 acre) non-farm related residential lot (6067 Walker Road), from “Agricultural Zone (A)” to a site specific “Agricultural Zone (A-34)” in order to establish a maximum lot area of 0.51 hectares (1.26 acres); and ii) rezoning the 40.4 hectare (99.8 acre) agricultural parcel from “Agricultural Zone (A)” to a site specific “Agricultural Zone (A-35)” in order to prohibit a residential dwelling from being constructed.

The Manager Planning Services & Local Economic Development outlines the Zoning By-law Amendment application on the subject property as appended in the agenda. He explains the purpose of the application which was conditionally granted provided certain conditions were met including the adoption of a zoning by-law that would prohibit the construction of a dwelling on the farmland.
