Notice: July 15, 2024

AND TAKE NOTICE that the Council of The Corporation of the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury will be holding a public meeting on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 7:00 pm to consider the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment.  The Council meeting will be held in the Zima Room of the BWG Library & Cultural Centre located at 425 Holland Street West, Bradford, and streamed live on the Town’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/c/TownofBradfordWestGwillimbury. (Please note that there may be more than one public meeting and that the matter will be dealt with in the order that it appears on the agenda.)

The purpose and effect of the proposed amendment is to rezone the subject properties from the Agricultural “A” and Marsh Agricultural “AM” zones to the Agricultural Exception “A*XX” and Marsh Agricultural Exception “AM*XX” zones.  The purpose of the rezoning is to set site-specific zone standards in order to permit the development of an Event Centre (utilizing the existing barn) and Short-term Accommodations as on-farm diversified uses as well as a Farmer’s Market and an Orchard Processing Building as agricultural-related uses.
