Second Public Meeting - Monday June 14th, 2021

Second Public Meeting for a Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment in accordance with Section 34 and 22 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended.

The Town has initiated amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law to include policies and regulations with respect to second dwelling units within the Town. Changes to the Town’s Zoning By-law (1987) and Official Plan (2014) are to implement changes to the Planning Act made by Bill 108/Regulation 299 of the Province of Ontario (More Homes, More Choice Act, 2019). Changes to the Act require that the Town permit additional dwelling units on a property containing a single detached, semi-detached or street townhouse residential dwelling as well as permitting these units in an accessory building.

The proposed Amendments apply throughout the Town of Pelham. General Official Plan policies and Zoning By-law provisions will be established which if met will allow a Second Dwelling Unit to be permitted without the need for an Amendment to either the Official Plan or Zoning By-law.
