It would repeal and replace the current Zoning By-Laws for the 2 wards in the Municipality of Central Huron.
The Comprehensive Zoning By-Law implements the Official Plan which was adopted on November 23, 2003 by the Municipality of Central Huron.
The Comprehensive Zoning By-Law consists of Definitions, General Provisions and Zone sections that list the Permitted Uses, Accessory Uses, Permitted Structures and Zone Regulations for that zone.
Some new zones have been created such as: (AG2) Restricted Agriculture for the retained farmlands of Surplus Farm Dwelling severances; (LR1) Lakeshore Residential which recognizes year round residential uses on the lakeshore.
Four Natural Environment zones are proposed: NE1 (Natural Environment Full Protection) for provincially significant wetlands; NE2 (Natural Environment Limited Development) for significant natural environment features; NE3 (Natural Environment Small Holdings) for developed properties in rural areas; NE4 (Natural Environment Recreational Residential) for developed properties on the lakeshore in areas designated Natural Environment. Adjacent lands and Conservation Authority Regulated Lands are being identified around existing Natural Environment areas. These lands will be subject to review of development proposals by the Conservation Authority. All properties are subject to the new zones requirements. |
