Purpose

The proposed Official Plan Amendment would remove the subject lands from Site-Specific Policy Area 6.3.3.1, as identified in the Lakeshore Official Plan. This would permit development on partial services, consisting of municipal water and private septic systems, and allow lot creation through consent approval.

The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment would rezone the subject lands from the Hamlet Residential Exception 6, Holding Symbol 5 (HR-6(h5)) Zone to the Hamlet Residential Exception 13 (HR-13) Zone.

In addition to removing Holding Symbol 5 (h5), the proposed HR-13 Zone would include the following site-specific provisions:

• A minimum lot area of 1,932 square metres for single detached dwellings where municipal sanitary servicing is unavailable.
• A minimum lot frontage of 15 metres for single detached dwellings where municipal sanitary servicing is unavailable.
