Bruce County council will be conducting a public meeting on June 16th to consider proposed changes to the County of Bruce Official Plan.
It’s open to in-person and virtual attendees.
Officials say the proposed changes will help promote public and private investment in community improvement, clarify site plan application requirements, and promote affordable housing.
The proposed changes would:
-Add new policies for Additional Residential Units to allow Local Official Plans to address issues related to driveways, parking and setbacks
-Add new policies for Community Improvement Plans to clarify that Community Improvement Plans can be made for anywhere in Bruce County in accordance with the provisions of the Planning Act
-Provide new policy wording to reference complete application requirements for Site Plan Control applications to ensure recent Planning Act changes can be implemented by the County and local municipalities
The amendment would be applied across all of Bruce County.
