Notice of Intention to Pass an Amending By-law to Remove a Holding Provision

The Council of the Town of Penetanguishene intends to pass an amending By-law to remove a Holding (“H”) provision from Zoning By-law 2022-17, as amended, in accordance with Section 36 of the Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990.

The earliest that Council proposes to consider passing this amending By-law is at its regular meeting scheduled July 8, 2026 7:00 p.m at Council Chambers, Town Hall, 10 Robert Street West, Penetanguishene. The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of Council’s intention and to invite interested parties to attend the meeting to hear Council’s decision on this matter.

Property Description

The lands subject to the proposed amendment are municipally known as 67 Wozniak Road, as shown on the associated Location Map (Town File No. ZA 7/2026).

Purpose and Effect

Holding provisions are used where the principle of the land use has been established, but it has been determined that development should be restricted until specific technical requirements are satisfied. In this case, the Town requires confirmation from a qualified professional that the lot can accommodate a septic system that satisfies all current Provincial standards and regulatory requirements. The applicant has satisfied all technical requirements and therefore the holding provision can be removed. The application is intended to facilitate the future construction of a single detached dwelling on the subject lands.
