Notice of Complete ZBA and Public Meeting – April 23, 2024 – 112 Cedar Hill Side Road (1)

TAKE NOTICE that a Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, at 6:00 p.m. to consider a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, Chapter P.13.

Please be advised that the Municipality of Mississippi Mills has received the following Zoning By-law Amendment request (details below). An attached map identifies the location of the property and the area subject to this application.

File Number: D14-184-24
Owner: Terra and Joseph Henry (1847189 Ontario Ltd.)
Applicant: Terra and Joseph Henry (1847189 Ontario Ltd.)
Legal Address: Concession 9 Pakenham, Part of Lots 5 and 6; Part 1 to 9 of Road Allowance, Reference Plan 26R1607
Municipal Address: 112 Cedar Hill Side Road
Ward: Pakenham
Location and Description of Property: The subject property is a 0.95-ha, vacant brownfield lot located north of the intersection of Cedar Hill Side Road at County Road 29. It is currently zoned Rural (RU), and it is a contaminated site due to a former road passing through it, which limits opportunities for more sensitive land uses such as residential.
Purpose And Intent of The Zoning By-Law Amendment: The applicants are seeking to re-zone the subject lands from Rural (RU) to Rural Commercial (C5) to permit rural commercial uses in the future. Due to the complications that arise on contaminated sites, the applicants are not pursuing residential development. The applicant does not currently have plans for development; they are requesting the Zoning By-law Amendment so that they may be permitted to develop the subject property in the future. Site Plan Control will also be required before any rural commercial development can occur.
