Mayor Cole called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m.

The Deputy Clerk advised that the purpose of this Public Meeting is to review applications for proposed zoning by-law amendments and to allow interested members of the public the opportunity to ask questions or offer comments with regard to the applications.

It was noted that Council will not make a decision at this meeting. Based on recommendations and information received at this meeting amending by-laws will be presented for approval at the regular Council meeting.

A Public Registry is available, if any member of the public would like to be notified in writing of the decision on any of the applications they are required to provide their name and mailing address on the applicable 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.

Ms. Smith reviewed her report noting the purpose of this application is to change the current zoning of Village Commercial (VC1) to a Village Commercial Special Zone (VC1-6) to permit a contractors shop and yard as an added permitted use. The applicant wishes to construct a future contractors shop and yard for his business.  Planner Smith noted that the continued use of this site for commercial use, through a site specific added provision for a contractor’s yard or shop is complementary to surrounding uses in this area, and the Urban designation in the Official Plan recognizes this range of uses as well.
