Notice of a Complete Application and Public Meeting For a Proposed Zoning By-law Amendment (PLZBA2024018)

Take Notice that the Township of Minden Hills has received a complete application to amend the Township’s Zoning By-law. The site-specific amendment applies to property located in Part of Lots 3 and 4, Concession 5, Geographic Township of Minden, being a lot at Bonis Lane and 2409 Scotch Line, and having roll number 4616-031-000-02700.

Take Further Notice that Council for The Corporation of the Township of Minden Hills will be holding a Public Meeting under the Planning Act. The purpose of the public meeting is to provide the public with an opportunity to understand and comment on the proposed Amendment.

Purpose and Effect

The subject property is currently zoned ‘Rural Exception Fourteen’ (RU-14) and is located primarily within the Rural and Waterfront designation of the Township’s Official Plan. The zoning by-law amendment is submitted to fulfill a condition of consent application H-011-23, which would sever a portion of Part of Lot 3 and 4, Concession 5 for the purpose of lot addition. The proposed amendment would serve to rezone a portion of the lands to a new site-specific ‘Open Space Exception’ (OS-E) Zone to permit a frontage of 0 metres, maintain the natural state of vegetation, prohibit all residential uses, and be subject to all other provisions of the ‘Open Space’ (OS) Zone.
