The Clerk explained that the purpose of this Public Meeting of the Council of the Corporation of the Municipality of South Huron is to review the proposed amendment to South Huron Comprehensive By-Law #69-2018, and to allow interested members of the public the opportunity to ask questions or offer comments with regard to the application.

The Clerk noted that Council will not make a decision on the proposed amendment at this Public Meeting. Based on the recommendations and information received at this Public Meeting, the proposed amendment will be presented for approval at a regular Council meeting.

She noted that there is a Public Registry located on the table by the door for the application and if any member of the public would like to be notified in writing of the decision on the application they are to provide their name and mailing address on the registry. A person or public body may appeal the decision if they have made an oral submission at this public meeting or a written submission to Council prior to the passing of the by-law.

Planner Smith gave a brief overview of Planning Act Procedures and reviewed her report noting that the purpose of this application is to correct a mapping issue that affects two properties in the Lakeshore Residential Community.

The affected portion of the subject lands is identified under the Natural Environment (NE2) zone layer and should be zoned LR1 (Lakeshore Residential) in conformity with the South Huron Official Plan.  Ms. Smith noted that this housekeeping amendment was initiated to correct the change in zoning and related mapping.
