A map of the subject property

Location: 35 Elgin Street, Collingwood

Legal description: Lt 36 E/S Elgin Street, Pl 55 AKA Pl 282; Town of Collingwood; County of Simcoe 

Area: 0.065 hectares

The subject property is located on the east side of Elgin Street and the west side of Tremont Lane. The property is municipally known as 35 Elgin Street and presently contains a single-detached residential dwelling and a detached accessory building (garage). 

The Purpose and Effect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment is:

  1. To rezone the subject property from Downtown Core Commercial (C1) to Downtown Core Commercial Exception XX (C1-XX) to facilitate the expansion of an existing detached accessory building (garage) and permit an Additional Residential Unit (ARU) on the upper level; and
  2. To establish site-specific provisions for one (1) detached accessory building (garage) including reduced minimum interior side yard setback; increased maximum height; and increased maximum gross floor area.

Any person may attend the future public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment. 

If a person or public body would otherwise have the ability to appeal the decision of the Town of Collingwood to the Ontario Land Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting or make written submissions to the Town of Collingwood before the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed or refused, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision. 

If a person or a public body does not make oral submissions at the public meeting, or make written submissions to the Town of Collingwood before the Zoning By-law Amendment is passed or refused, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Land Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so. 

Please note that the rights of third parties to appeal Zoning By-law Amendment decisions to the Ontario Land Tribunal have been restricted under the Planning Act. 

If you wish to be notified of the decision of the Council of the Town of Collingwood in respect of the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment, you must make a written request to Planning Services, Town of Collingwood, P.O. Box 157, Collingwood, Ontario L9Y 3Z5 or via email at [email protected]  

If you are the owner of any land that contains seven or more residential units, please post this notice in a location that is visible to all residents.
