   c. That the applicant, prior to subdivision approval, connect the existing dwelling to municipal sewer and pay applicable connection fees to West Shore Environmental Services.

COMMENTARY

This application was prohibited from being the subject of a Public Hearing, as per the change made by the Province to the Local Government Act through The Housing Statues (Residential Development) Amendment Act, 2023.

Council gave first, second, and third readings of Bylaw No. 2110 on June 29, 2026. The information considered in relation to this Bylaw as well as the video recording of the meeting can be found at the following link of the City’s website: Special Council Meeting - June 29, 2026.

This property falls outside of the 800 m buffer of a controlled access highway and therefore the bylaw is not required to be signed by the Minister of Transportation and Transit.

Items 1(b) and (c) of Council’s above-noted resolution will be completed as part of the subdivision process. As there are no outstanding conditions required at this time, Council may wish to proceed with bylaw adoption.
