In accordance with Section 34 of the Planning Act, notice of a minor Zoning Bylaw Amendment is being provided.
Purpose and Effect of the Minor Zoning Bylaw Amendment
The proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is being introduced to correct a zoning error for 105 Elmira Road North in By-law (2025)-21120. 105 Elmira Road North was rezoned to a site-specific “Medium Density Residential” (RM.6-30) zone in July 2025. The wording of the approved by-law erroneously permitted a maximum angular plane of 45 degrees from the centre line of the street. The materials presented before City Council and analysed by City Staff considered a maximum angular plane of 46 degrees from the centre line of the street. Through the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, the zoning for 105 Elmira Road North will be amended to permit a maximum angular plane of 46 degrees from the centre line of the street, as originally intended.
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 may include:
- Removal of a holding (H) symbol, as per Section 10.5 of the Official Plan.
- Passing a Temporary Use By-law, as per Section 10.6 of the Official Plan.
- Correcting of minor errors and omissions.
- Minor text amendments to add clarity for the intent of regulations.
- Housekeeping updates to reflect changes to job titles, names of City departments, external agencies and organizations, or other policy documents and legislation.
- Removal of site-specific zoning that is more restrictive than the parent zone.
A Statutory Public Meeting shall not be required for a minor amendment to the Zoning By-law described above unless concerns have been identified by written submission during the commenting period identified in this Notice of Application.
Subject Lands
The proposed Minor Zoning By-law Amendment applies to 105 Elmira Road North.
