Residents of the Municipality of Kincardine have a chance to learn more about a review of the Comprehensive Zoning bylaw as part of the Official Plan update.
Two Open Houses Tuesday will allow residents to come out and provide input on the Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw review.
Manager of Development Services and Chief Building Official Dwayne McNab said the goal is to provide a progressive and concise document that suits the needs of a growing and inclusive community.
He added the come and go format is a more casual way for people to learn more, ask questions, and give their input.
The first of the two Open Houses is from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Whitney Crawford Centre in Tiverton. The second will follow from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Miller Insurance New Seniors Room at the Davidson Centre in Kincardine.
The current bylaw is 13 years old and has had 200 amendments since its last review
“The Zoning bylaw gives us direction on land use. It looks at things like property setbacks, building heights, and the four different land usages: residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial. This review allows us to look at the changing needs of our community,” said McNab.
Information collected at the Open Houses will form a Discussion Paper set for completion in October. The completion date for the Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw Review process is tentatively June of 2023.
