FIREFIGHTER RECRUITMENT
Purpose and Effect of the Proposed Zoning By-law Bill 108, the More Homes, More Choice Act received Royal Assent on June 6, 2019. With the enactment of this Bill came a number of changes to the Planning Act aimed to increase the amount of affordable housing being developed across Ontario. One of the key elements of Bill 108 was the inclusion of a new Section 16(3) of the Planning Act that states that Official Plans “…shall contain policies to authorize the use of additional residential units by authorizing, (a) the use of two residential units in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse; and (b) the use of a residential unit in a building or structure ancillary to a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse.” The Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law, which implements the Official Plan, currently contains outdated “accessory apartments” provisions in that only one accessory dwelling unit is currently permitted per lot, and only in a limited number of zoning categories. As such, housekeeping
amendments are proposed to the Town’s Comprehensive Zoning By-law which would: · Permit up to two accessory dwelling units on certain lots that are zoned Residentially-zoned lots; · Permit one accessory dwelling unit within a principle dwelling as well as one in an accessory structure; and · Amend other related provisions of the By-law in order to implement this intent.
