Zoning By-law Procedure Following Public Meeting

- This is a Public Meeting of the Planning Advisory Committee, not a Council Meeting; thus a decision of Council may or may not be made this evening.

 

- If the By-law is passed by Council, the Clerk is required to send Notice of the Passing of the By-law to all persons and agencies notified of this Public Meeting.

 

- There is a 20 day objection period from the time Notice of Passing of the By-law has been mailed by first class post, wherein submissions/letters of objection or support in respect to the passing of the by-law, will be received by the Clerk.

 

- If an objection is received, an Appeal is lodged with the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) and at that point the Township no longer has any control over the time factor involved.

 

- If Council does not pass the by-law, the applicant may Appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB).

 

- If the by-law is passed and no objections are received within the objection period, the Clerk certifies that the by-law is in force and of effect as of the date of its passing and Notice is forwarded to the Huron County Planning & Development Department.
