Official Plan Amendment
The purpose of Amendment No. 10 to the Township of Cavan Monaghan Official Plan is to change the current land use designation on a portion of the subject lands from “Agricultural” to “Rural Employment” to permit the establishment of uses permitted in the “Rural Employment” designation. The “Rural Employment” designation will only apply to the lands on the subject property which are currently designated “Agricultural” and not those portions of the subject lands which will remain designated “Natural Linkage Area”.

The effect of the Amendment is to permit a portion of subject property to be used for the range of permitted uses in the “Rural Employment” designation.

A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to implement the Official Plan Amendment.

Zoning By-law Amendment

The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to change the zoning on a portion of the property
from “Agriculture (A)” to “Rural Employment (M2)” in order to permit the establishment of the range
of permitted uses under the “Rural Employment (M2)” Zone in the Township of Cavan Monaghan
Zoning By-law 2018-58, as amended.

The portion of the subject property that is currently zoned “Natural Linkage (NL)” will remain zoned
“Natural Linkage (NL)” and will not be changed as a result of this amendment.

In support of these applications, the following documents/studies were completed and are
