THE CORPORATION OF THE TOWN OF SHELBURNE

NOTICE OF COMPLETE APPLICATION AND PUBLIC MEETING

UNDER SECTION 34 OF THE PLANNING ACT

Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Shelburne has received a complete application for a Zoning By-law Amendment (File No. Z21/02) and will hold a public meeting on:

MONDAY, MAY 31^ST, 2021

The public meeting is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m., or as shortly thereafter as possible, and will be held in an online virtual meeting format, as outlined below.

The purpose of the meeting is to consider an Amendment to the Town of Shelburne Zoning By-law No. 382007. Take notice that the application has been deemed complete so that it can be circulated and reviewed. 

The property subject to the proposed Amendment is municipally known as 242 Main Street East. The property is designated as Downtown Mixed Use in the Official Plan and zoned Mixed Use Commercial (C2) in the Zoning By-law. The accompanying map illustrates the location of the land subject to the proposed Amendment.

The purpose and effect of the Amendment is to rezone the property from Mixed Use Commercial (C2) Zone to a new site-specific Mixed Use Commercial Exception (C2-#) Zone. The application is proposing sitespecific provisions to recognize the existing accessory building lot coverage (11.2%), the existing garage footprint (76 square metres), the existing setback from the detached garage to the rear lane (0.6m) and to allow for an accessory building to be used for human habitation whereas the Zoning By-law prohibits this use, to allow for one (1) dwelling unit within an accessory building whereas the Zoning By-law does not permit a dwelling unit in a private garage, and to allow for two (2) dwelling units on one lot.

Further to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Provincial Orders that limit public gatherings, the public meeting will be held electronically through Zoom video conferencing and will be livestreamed. To participate in the meeting electronically through Zoom video conferencing, please contact the Clerk at jwilloughby@shelburne.ca to register in order to have access to the public meeting, no later than Thursday May 27^th, 2021.

If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to the Clerk of the Town of Shelburne before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
