Notice of Passing Concerning Zoning Amendment By-law 3358-131 - Pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990. c.P.13

TAKE NOTICE that, in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.P.13 as amended, the Council of the Town of Perth passed By-law No. 3358-131 on the 16^th day of April, 2024 to amend Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 3358, as it pertains to lands described as Part of Lot 2, Concession 2, in the Town of Perth.

THE PURPOSE of By-law No. 3358-131 is to amend Zoning By-law No. 3358, as it applies to land described as Part of Lot 2, Concession 2, in the Town of Perth. The request is to change the zoning of the subject property from Residential Fourth Density - Exception Twenty-Three (R4-23) to Residential Fourth Density - Exception Twenty-Nine - Holding (R4-29-h).Additional zoning relief is requested for the following:

• Minimum required parking: 24 spaces per lot, including 4 visitor parking spaces per lot.
• Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.28 of this by-law, each lot may have a maximum of 63% impervious surface.

A Holding Provision, denoted as R4-29-h, shall be applied to the Residential Fourth Density Exception Twenty-Nine (R4-29) Zone. This provision prohibits any development or occupancy of the subject lands, except for existing uses as of the day By-law No. 3358 was passed. Development or occupancy may only occur following completion of a site plan process approved by the Town of Perth, provision of municipal utilities servicing the buildings, and conveyance of lot frontage on a public street brought up to municipal standards.

THE EFFECT of the proposed rezoning would be to allow the construction of two 16-unit apartment buildings.

THE KEY MAP below indicates the location of the lands affected by the proposed zoning amendment in relation to other lands within the municipality.
