Legal Address: PT LT 8 S/S ROBINSON ST PL 8828 LANARK S DRUMMOND, DESIGNATED AS PART 1 ON PLAN 27R12157; TOWN OF PERTH

Purpose and Intent of the Zoning By-law Amendment is to change the zoning of the property from a site-specific Residential Fourth density (R4-20) to a new site-specific Residential Third Density (R3-X) Zone.
