2011 Draft Official Plan

On April 12, 2011, Council received a revised Draft Official Plan and directed that it be made available for public review and comment. This Draft Official Plan is available for download and the Municipality will be scheduling public open houses on the Official Plan in the summer of 2011.

Background

On December 7, 2004 the new Official Plan for the Municipality of Highlands East was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. With the new Official Plan in force and effect, Council for the Municipality of Highlands East adopted a new Comprehensive Zoning By-law to implement the Official Plan on June 14, 2005.

The Zoning By-law was prepared concurrently with the Official Plan and has been available for public review beginning in the summer of 2003. The new Zoning By-law replaces the four existing zoning by-laws which were previously in effect for the former municipalities of Cardiff, Bicroft, Monmouth and Glamorgan.

Availability

The Official Plan is available for download below and for review at the municipal office in Wilberforce during regular office hours. Official Plan Schedules (maps) may be viewed below or at the Municipal Office.

The Zoning By-law (2005.29) is also available for download. This is a consolidated and amended version of the original Zoning By-Law (it includes amendments made in Zoning By-Law 2008.46) detailing the Housekeeping Amendment (reports available for download below) and is available for review at the municipal office in Wilberforce during regular office hours.

Zoning By-law maps may be viewed below or at at the Municipal Office.

Copies of either document can be purchased from the municipal office by contacting Linda Mumford at 705-448-2981.

Questions regarding the Official Plan or Zoning By-law can be directed to Irene Cook at 705-448-2981 (Ext. 222) or Sharon Stoughton-Craig at 705-448-2981.
