Purpose and Effect:
The purpose of the removal of the Holding Provision (H) is to allow the provisions of the ‘Special District 285 (S.D 285) Zone’ put in place by By-law No. 2024-067. By-law No. 2024-067, as enacted by Council on September 17, 2024, had the effect of rezoning the subject lands from the ‘Seasonal Residential (SR) Zone’ to the ‘Special District 285 Holding (S.D. 285-H) Zone’ until the registration of an Environmental Mitigation Agreement was executed between the Owner and Municipality.
By-Law 2024-067 included the Holding Provision (H) to restrict development until such time as conditions were satisfied. The Environmental Mitigation Agreement was brought forth to Council on February 11, 2025, and By-law No. 2025-010 was passed to authorize the signing and registration of the agreement. The conditions are no longer applicable and, therefore, the effect of removing the Holding Symbol (H) will allow the subject lands to be used in accordance with the prevailing zoning of the ‘Special District 285 (S.D. 285) Zone’.
key map showing the lands to which this application applies is provided with this notice.
