Notice of intention to pass an amending bylaw to remove a holding “H” symbol

In accordance with Section 36 of the Planning Act R.S.O 1990 c.P.13., the City of Guelph intends to pass a Zoning By-law Amendment to remove a Holding ‘H’ Symbol from the City of Guelph Zoning By-law (2023)-20790, as amended.

The lands affected by the proposed amendment are municipally known as 8 Mitchell Street. The subject lands are shown on the Key Location Map below.

The subject lands are currently zoned “Residential Low Density 1 with site specific provision 26 and a holding provision” (RL.1-26(H)) according to Zoning Bylaw (2023)-20790, as amended.

As per section 18.1.26 b) of Zoning By-law (2023)-20790, as amended, the (H) Holding Symbol is to be in place until the following condition(s) have been met to the satisfaction of the City related to the subject development.

Condition – prior to removing the Holding Symbol (H):

  1. The Owner shall provide the City an updated grading and drainage design including plans and a stormwater management report to the satisfaction of the City Engineer/General Manager
  2. The Owner shall provide the City an updated detailed noise study to the Satisfaction of the City Engineer/General Manager

Engineering staff have reviewed the proposed application (File: OZS25-008) to remove the Holding ‘H’ Symbol and required documents and are satisfied that City requirements to remove the Holding ‘H’ Symbol have been met. The Holding ‘H’ Symbol can therefore be removed from the lands.

In accordance with Official Plan Amendment 91, approval of Minor Zoning By-law Amendments has been delegated to the General Manager of Planning and Building Services. Minor Zoning By-law Amendments include the removal of a Holding (H) Symbol, as per Section 10.5 of the Official Plan.

The General Manager of Planning and Building Services will consider the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment to remove the Holding ‘H’ Symbol no earlier than June 26, 2025.
