OVERVIEW:

On June 26, 2017 the Township Council approved the Townships new Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 2017-70.

The new Comprehensive Bylaw has functioned well over the last few months, however, staff have recognized that there are some gaps and inconsistencies with the document.

Township staff are proposing several housekeeping amendments to Zoning Bylaw 2017-70 which include changes to provisions about accessory dwelling units, accessory buildings used for home industries, parking requirements, site specific zonings and corrections to definitions.

Planning Staff recommend that a public meeting be held to consider the following proposed changes to the Zoning Bylaw, and that a

Recommendation Report be prepared following the public meeting.

“The Township of West Lincoln will be a community that values our heritage, preserves our

environmental and natural resources, fosters entrepreneurial spirit and provides excellent

quality of life”

BACKGROUND: Township Council in June of 2017 approved the new Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw 2017-70. The Zoning bylaw has functioned well, however, there are some changes that need to be made to correct site specific zoning issues, as well as address other issues surrounding accessory structures, home industries and parking requirements. It is proposed that a public meeting be held at a future Planning Building and Environment Committee Meeting as required by the Planning Act to allow the public opportunity to comment. Notice would be distributed through the local newspaper and on the Township website. CURRENT SITUATION: The proposed housekeeping changes are summarized in the table below: Section/Table/Page #/Schedule

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS



quality of life”

There are no financial implications associated with this report or the proposed changes to the Zoning Bylaw. The housekeeping amendment can be processed based on the proposed 2018 Operating budget. INTER-DEPARTMENTAL COMMENTS There are no interdepartmental or agency comments at this time as the proposed changes have not yet been circulated. It is proposed that the draft changes be circulated prior to a public meeting to be held at a future Planning Building and Environment Committee Meeting. CONCLUSION Staff recommends that a public meeting be held at a future Planning Building and Environment Committee meeting to address any concerns from the public and to meet the requirements of the Planning Act. The proposed housekeeping amendments are minor and technical in nature, but will resolve a few of the issues that have arisen with the approval and implementation of the Township’s new Zoning Bylaw 2017-70.
