Planning Notice May 11 2023

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to permit the realignment of the watercourse known as Fraser Creek, a tributary of the West Holland River, through amending the boundaries of lands in the respective Official Plan designation categories to permit the development of a trucking and logistics facility composed of a warehouse, shipping office, wash/inspection facility, repair facility and associated parking area.

The purpose of the zoning by-law amendment is to support the realignment of the watercourse through the re-zoning of portions of the subject site along the eastern boundary from “400C(H7)” to “EP”, portions of the centre of the subject site to be zoned from “EP” to “400C exception”, and portions of the southern boundary of the subject site to be re-zoned to a dual “EP”/”400C exception hold” zone. The rezoning enables the consolidation of developable land and ensures that the proposed development can occur on the site in a manner consistent with zoning provisions. Site specific exceptions support the proposed trucking and logistics facility and maintain the ecological significance of the watercourse.

Official Plan Amendment No. 1 will be submitted to the County of Simcoe for approval. Any person or public body will be entitled to receive notice of the County's decision if a written request to be notified (include name and mailing address) of the decision is made to the Director of Planning, Development & Tourism Department, County of Simcoe, Administration Centre, 1110 Highway 26, Midhurst, Ontario, L9X 1N6, telephone 705-726-9300, fax 705-727- 4276, or email at planning.notices@simcoe.ca.
