- Application file number: A-15-2026
- Location of Subject Lands: 2331 Lakeshore Road 223
- Purpose of Application: Minor Variance
A land severance application (file: B-06-2026) received conditional approval on May 20, 2026, to sever a farm property into parcels that will be added to adjacent properties. Approximately 0.31 acres will be added to 2315 Lakeshore Road 223, 0.3 acres (approx.) will be added to 2321 Lakeshore Road 223, and 0.47 acres (approx.) will be added to 2331 Lakeshore Road 223. The balance of the farm parcel (approx. 46 acres) will be added to an existing 16.3 acre (approx.) adjacent farm parcel that has frontage on County Road 46. A sketch of the severances is attached to this notice.
- Relief from subsection 6.42.4 d) to permit 2331 Lakeshore Road 223 to have two driveways; whereas subsection 6.42.4 d) states that “within the R1, R2, RW1, RW2 and HR zones, not more than one driveway shall be permitted per lot. Within the A zone, lots with more than 30 metres of lot frontage shall be restricted to not more than two driveways”.
Note: A decision was made at the May 20, 2026, Committee of Adjustment Meeting to approve Minor Variance Application File: A-08-2026 for separate reliefs. The new requested reliefs are being sought due to new information pertaining to the land requirements for the adjacent future public road widenings.
The 0.47-acre (approx.) land addition to 2331 Lakeshore Road 223 will result in this residential property having two driveway accesses from Lakeshore Road 223. A sketch of the land addition and the resulting two driveway accesses is attached to this notice.
The Applicant is seeking the following relief from the Lakeshore Zoning By-law (2-2012) to permit 2331 Lakeshore Road 223 to have two driveway accesses following registration of the land addition:
