NOTICE OF A PUBLIC MEETING
FOR
NEW COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW
TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Gravenhurst will hold a Second Public Meeting

pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, regarding the Town’s proposed New Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw.

The Second Public Meeting is scheduled for:

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 at 5:00 p.m.
at
Trillium Court – Gravenhurst Opera House
295 Muskoka Road South
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF NEW COMPREHENSIVE ZONING BY-LAW

The Comprehensive Zoning By-law is an important tool for managing the development of land within the municipality. The

Zoning By-law is a legal document that applies to all types of properties and regulates how land can be used and the

required standards such as lot sizes, building types, setbacks from property lines and other features, provisions for

accessory uses and buildings including docks and boathouses, and parking requirements, amongst other matters.

The Town’s current Zoning By-law, known as By-law 94-54, was adopted in 1994 and although it has been amended over

time, there has not been a comprehensive review of the Zoning By-law since it was adopted. In order to ensure the

Zoning By-law remains up to date and reflects today’s world, a review of the Zoning By-law was undertaken. As a result

of this review, a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law is being proposed that is intended to:

• Implement and build upon the policies contained within the Town’s new Official Plan, approved in 2008;

• Conform to the policies of the District of Muskoka Official Plan;

• Be consistent with the Planning Act and Provincial Policy Statement;

• Reflect the aspirations of the Town’s residents;

• Incorporate best zoning practices; and,

• Update and digitize mapping.

The Comprehensive Zoning By-law applies to all land within the Town of Gravenhurst, therefore a key map has not been

provided.

ANY PERSON OR AGENCY may attend the Public Meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in

support or in opposition to the proposed new Comprehensive Zoning By-law.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to

the Corporation of the Town of Gravenhurst before the By-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to

appeal the decision of the Council of the Corporation of the Town of Gravenhurst to the Ontario Municipal Board.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to

the Corporation of the Town of Gravenhurst 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 Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are

reasonable grounds to do so.

WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS AND/OR REQUESTS FOR NOTICE of the approval of the new Comprehensive Zoning By-law

should be directed to Nicholas Popovich, Manager of Development Services.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION respecting the proposed new Comprehensive Zoning By-law is available for review at the

Town of Gravenhurst Planning Department at the Municipal Offices (190 Harvie Street, Gravenhurst) during regular office

hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) and on the Town’s website http://www.gravenhurst.ca/municipalservices/departments/planning/zoning-bylaw-update prior to the public meeting. For further information on the new

Comprehensive Zoning By-law please contact Nick Popovich at 705-687-3412 or via This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Dated at the Town of Gravenhurst

This 13th day of January 2010.

Clerk
