Back to SearchMeeting date updated
Leamington Council will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, June 24, at 6:00 PM to consider a Combined Official Plan Amendment (OPA) No. 31 and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) No. 346 application at the Leamington Municipal Building, Council Chambers, 111 Erie Street North, Leamington, Ontario N8H 2Z9.
The purpose of OPA No. 31 is to change the language of the official plan to allow for Additional Residential Units to be permitted. It will also amend language concerning mixed-use developments to permit the zoning by-law to allow different forms of mixed-use development.
The purpose of ZBA No. 346 is to create a new subsection under Section 4 of the zoning by-law to regulate the development of Additional Residential Units. The amendment will also amend Subsection 4.1.1 to remove barriers to developing Additional Dwelling Units that were not intended under the original by-law. It will also add the required definitions for new terms created in the new subsection and those changed in existing subsections. The zoning amendment will also amend the site-specific R6-3 Zone to permit mixed-use development in addition to the uses already permitted. ZBA No. 346 will further amend the temporary zoning passed under ZBA No. 314 to allow the development to proceed without removing the holding zone provision.
