2595 Lakeshore Road The subject lands are legally described as SCAY CON 7 PT LOTS 16 AND 17 RP 18R2152 PART 1. The subject lands are designated 'Lakeshore Residential' in the Haldimand County Official Plan and are currently zoned 'Open Space (OS)' in the Haldimand County Zoning By-law HC 1-2020. |
Proposed: The proposed development consists of the creation of 18 single-detached dwellings designed for year-round occupancy, situated on a new municipal cul-de-sac. To facilitate this project, a Zoning By-law Amendment is required to transition the subject lands from their current Open Space (OS) designation to a Lakeshore Residential (RL) Zone. This new zoning will include site-specific provisions to formally allow for permanent, year-round use of the residences. While the residential lots will undergo this change, the emergency access and watercourse blocks are intended to retain their existing Open Space zoning to ensure continued protection and function. The purpose of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to facilitate this residential development and ensure the proposal remains consistent with the Provincial Planning Statement and the Haldimand County Official Plan. |

759 Concession 14 The subject lands are legally described as Walpole Concession 15 Part Lot 10, Subject to Hydro Easement, known municipally as 759 Concession 14, Walpole. The subject lands are designated 'Agriculture' in the Haldimand County Official Plan and are zoned
|
Proposed: The Committee of Adjustment approved a concurrent Consent to Sever application (PLB-2025-177) at the December 16, 2025 Committee of Adjustment Hearing to permit the creation of a 1.00 hectare (2.47 acre) residential lot for a surplus farm dwelling. As a condition of the provisional consent, the applicant is required to obtain final approval for a Zoning By-law Amendment. This amendment is necessary because the severed lands exceed 0.6 hectares in size, which prevents the automatic rezoning process from occurring. The ZBA is required to prohibit future residential development on the 19.18 hectare (47.39 acre) retained agricultural parcel and to address the existing residential accessory building that exceeds the maximum height and size permitted under Section 4.2 of the Zoning By-law. |
