The effect of the amendment is to permit the development of a new three-storey cooperative residential building with approximately 42 affordable residential units (intended to be geared to income). The existing two-unit dwelling fronting on Wilson Street is proposed to be maintained. Site-specific relief is required to recognize multiple dwellings on the property and to permit a reduced parking ratio of 0.8 space per unit with the intention to provide a shared vehicle and 5 units for rent specifically for tenants without vehicle. Relief from landscaped open space, yard setbacks, and driveway/parking provisions are also being requested.

Associated Applications: A future Site Plan Control Application will be required.

Public Meeting Details: The Public Meeting will be held Tuesday August 6, 2024 in the Council Chambers at 80 Gore St, Perth ON, K7H 1H9 at 5:00 pm prior to the start of the regular Council meeting.

The proposed development is seeking funding from the Co-op Program through CMHC for the 42 proposed new units. Due to funding deadlines that require appropriate zoning to be in place, a recommendation from Staff is proposed to be presented to Council the same night, provided that Staff are satisfied there are no unaddressed public concerns at the conclusion of the public meeting.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Perth to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submission at the public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Perth before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Perth 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 Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal there are reasonable grounds to do so.

AFTER A DECISION has been made by Council, persons wishing to formally register an objection must, regardless of any previous submissions, file with the Clerk of the Municipality a Notice of Appeal setting out the objection and the reasons in support of the objection accompanied with the appeal fee to the Ontario Land Tribunal.
