Presentation and Report - Proposed Amendments to Zoning By-law #55-19
368-24 Moved by Councillor Roy Huetl, Seconded by Councillor Vernon Hermer
Be It Resolved That Council receives for information the presentation and report from Dmitry Kurylovich, Project Manager/Senior Planner, County of Frontenac, regarding the proposed amendments to the Township’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law #55-19; And That Council will consider an amending By-law during the Regular Meeting later today. Carried
Public Comments No public comments received.
Council Comments Deputy Mayor Inglis asked if the change in zoning of the property on Mountain Road to Mineral Aggregate Extraction will restrict development on adjacent properties. Dmitry Kurylovich, Project Manager/Senior Planner, advised the properties are already developed; and the change in zoning is to acknowledge the existing aggregate licence on the property.
Councillor Fowler asked for clarification on Garden Suites. Kurylovich advised that, in the Official Plan, Garden Suites are not permitted in the Waterfront Area; and in the General Provisions of the Zoning By-law, they are not permitted in the waterfront zones. However Garden Suites had inadvertently been included as permitted accessory uses in the Waterfront Residential and Limited Services Waterfront zones. The proposed amendment is to correct this error.
Councillor Huetl asked how a Garden Suite is defined. Kurylovich advised the definition and use of a Garden Suite is set out in the Planning Act as a temporary secondary dwelling that is limited to a 20 year time period after which time they are to be removed.
Councillor Good asked why docks were being limited to one on residential properties. Kurylovich advised residential lots have been limited to one dock since the Zoning By-law was passed in 2019. This amendment is to clarify Recreational Commercial properties including marinas, resorts, campgrounds, etc. are permitted more than one dock; and they are subject to site plan control.
