Notice of Public Meeting for Planning Application: May 19

Haldimand County holds Public Meetings to provide the community with an opportunity to review proposed developments, ask questions, and provide comments to Council before a decision is made.
 
A Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 19, at 9:30 a.m. to hear public input, objections or supporting information from interested parties.
 
At this meeting, Council-in-Committee will consider applications submitted under the Planning Act. These may include requests for an Official Plan Amendment, a Zoning By-law Amendment, Temporary Use By-law, and/or a Draft Plan of Subdivision or Condominium.

Formal public notices have been circulated to all abutting property owners within a 240 metres (787 ft.) radius of the subject property to ensure they are informed of the upcoming planning application. Any person may attend the public meeting and/or make verbal or written representation for the proposed planning application. If you require further information, please contact this office Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m..

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Haldimand County Council in Committee in respect of this application, you must submit a written request to Planning & Development or the Clerks Division.

In accordance with Bill 185, Cutting the Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, 2024, third-party appeals are no longer permitted. The right to appeal municipal decisions to the Ontario Land Tribunal is restricted to: the applicant, “public bodies” or “specified persons” who made oral or written submissions to Council prior to a decision being made, and the Minister. “Public bodies” and “ Specified Persons” as defined in the Planning Act includes government, utility boards and agencies. If an applicant, public body or specified person does not make oral submissions at a public meeting, or make written submissions to Haldimand County before the by-law is passed, the applicant, public body or specified person may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Immediately following the adjournment of the Public Meeting, the Committee will convene a meeting to consider all information relevant to this application. The Committee will, at this meeting, pass a recommendation for consideration by Haldimand County Council on at 6:00 p.m.
