Take Notice that the Council of the Township of Cavan Monaghan will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, February 18, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Township of Cavan Monaghan Municipal Office at 988 County Road 10, Millbrook ON to consider the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments under Sections 17 and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 as amended.

Official Plan Amendment

The purpose and effect of the Official Plan Amendment is to change the current Recreational designation to the Rural designation on the lands where the new lot is proposed and amend the Rural designation to provide relief the from Minimum Distance Separation (MDS) setback requirement to permit the severance.
The portion of the lands subject to a future severance application currently have a single detached dwelling with private septic and well water services.

Zoning By-law Amendment

The ZBA will apply to both the retained and severed parcels.

The ZBA will rezone the portion of the property proposed to be severed from the Recreational Commercial Exception Two (C3-2) Zone to the Rural Residential Exception Twenty-Eight (RR-28) Zone. The RR-28 Zone recognizes a 0-metre minimum northern side yard for the existing building. However, all future redevelopment on the property shall comply with the standard 6 metre (19.68 foot) interior side yard setback.

The ZBA will also remove a single detached dwelling as a permitted use on the golf course lands.

All other relevant provisions of By-law No. 2018-58, as amended, shall apply.

A Key Map showing the lands to which the Amendments apply is provided above.
