• A proposed general amendment to Zoning By-law No. 2022-37, as amended, under the Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, Chapter P.13. The proposed zoning amendment has been municipally-initiated as a housekeeping amendment to revise various definitions, general provisions, and zoning provisions. In addition, the amendment also revises zoning provisions relating to Additional Residential Units and amends the Zoning Schedules with respect to floodplain delineation. The purpose and effect of the amendment is to address various zoning matters that have been identified by staff through experience in working with the Zoning By-law since the Zoning By-law was approved in 2022.

The subject lands, being the entirety of lands within the corporate limits of the Township of Edwardsburgh Cardinal are not the subject of any other applications under the Planning Act that relate directly to the proposed Zoning By-law amendment. As the Zoning By-law amendment applies to lands within the entire Township, no key map has been provided herein.
