Notice of Public Hearing / Public Meeting - June 3rd, 2025

1. Zoning By-Law Amendment C06/2025 - Huron Creek Homes (Hastings Hilltop Subdivision)

Description of the Proposal:

The purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to apply for an exception zone for the draft approved Plan of Subdivision SB01/2011 – Hastings Hilltop Subdivision. A previous Zoning By-law was applied to the subject lands shortly after draft approval of the Plan of Subdivision, that being Zoning By-law Amendment 2012-01, which was passed on January 10^th, 2012. The By-law established a Residential Type 2 (R2) Zone, a Residential Type 3 (R3) Zone for future apartment dwellings, and an Open Space Exception TH-105-02 Zone which only permitted park use.

The applicant is proposing a reduction to two of the current zoning provisions, as well as an alteration to the proposed zone boundaries.

The applicant is seeking a reduction to the Minimum Lot Frontage provision, requesting an exception to permit the Minimum Lot Frontage to be 12 metres, from the required 15 metres within the R2 Zone. The applicant also seeks a reduction to the Minimum Lot Area provision, requesting an exception to permit the Minimum Lot Area to be 360 square metres, from the required 450 square metres within the R2 Zone.

The applicant seeks to alter the existing Zone Boundaries to line up with the proposed phases of development. The R2 Exception Zone will apply to Phases 1 and Phase 2 of the development. The R3 Zone will remain in affect for Block 42 and Phase 3. The Open Space Exception TH-105-02 Zone will be updated to match the proposed location of the park amenity area, located adjacent to Phase 3.

2. Severance Consent Applications B04/2025 & B05/2025 - Oak Heights Vista Inc. (Schlumpf)

Description of the Proposal:

Severance Consent Application B04/2025 and Severance Consent application B05/2025 have been submitted simultaneously, for a lot line adjustment / lot addition as well as the creation of a new lot.  The lot line adjustment / lot addition will ensure proper access to the proposed new lot.

The applicant has recently completed the purchase of a municipal road allowance, identified as Parts 2, 5, 6 and 7 on Registered Plan 39R-14784 (see attached).  Due to the regulations within the Planning Act, Parts 2 and 7 merged with the lands to the west (under the ownership of the applicant), being Roll # 14 35 229 010 17500 0000 (PIN 51229-0214); Parts 5 and 6 merged with the lands to the west (under the ownership of the applicant), being Roll # 14 35 229 010 17603 0000 (PIN 51229-0490).

Severance Consent Application B04/2025:  Based on the above, Parts 5 and 6 on Registered Plan 39R-14784 now require severance from the lands to the west and will be included as part of the overall access to the lands to the north.  At the same time, Part 4 will be severed and added to the access, which will ensure the entrance has the required width to comply with the Trent Hills Entrance Policy.  Part 3 will also be severed and added to the access, as the existing laneway travels over Part 3. The final result will create one parcel, being Parts 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, as a proper access for the proposed parcel under Severance Consent Application B05/2025.

Severance Consent Application B05/2025:  Further to the above, Severance Consent Application B05/2025 proposes to create one new parcel, being approximately 4.76 hectares (11.76 acres), which includes Parts 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on Registered Plan 39R-14784.  The retained parcel, being approximately 29.68 hectares (73.35 acres), is vacant land and will merge with the adjacent property to the west, creating an overall parcel of 105.04 hectares (259.55 acres) of vacant land.  The consolidation of these parcels will ensure the wetlands remain together and will provide road frontage on Concession Road 2 West.

Zoning Amendment Application C04/2025 has been submitted in conjunction with these applications.

3. Zoning By-Law Amendment Application C04/2025 - Oak Heights Vista Inc. (Schlumpf)

Description of the Proposal:

Subsequent to Severance Consent Applications B04/2025 and B05/2025, the purpose and effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is to recognize the creation of one (1) new parcel, being approximately 4.76 hectares (11.76 acres) of vacant land for residential building purposes.  The current zoning of the subject lands is the Rural (RU) Zone, Environmental Protection (EP) Zone, and Environmentally Sensitive (ES) Zone.  The proposed zoning for the severed portion will be the Rural Exception TH-105-91 (RU TH-105-91) Zone. The Exception to the Rural Zoning will acknowledge the reduced lot size and reduced lot frontage within the Rural Zone.  The zoning for the retained portion (as merged to the adjacent lands to the west) will remain as the Rural (RU) Zone, Environmental Protection (EP) Zone and the Environmentally Sensitive (ES) Zone.  All Environmental Protection (EP) and Environmentally Sensitive (ES) Zoning will remain in place.
