9.1. RPT-0456-23 – ZBA 20-23 – 217 Highway 2, Minor Zoning By-law Amendment

Council considered a request to change the zoning of a property at 217 Highway 2 in the Township of Burford from general Agriculture to a special Agriculture category. The change would prevent a residential home from being built on the land and acknowledge that the lot does not meet the minimum size requirements for the Agriculture zone. This rezoning was needed to satisfy a condition attached to a previously approved land severance application, and no public objections were received during the consultation process. Council approved the application.

14. By-laws

Council passed three by-laws through the required three readings: By-law 131-23 amending zoning for 217 Highway 2, By-law 132-23 amending zoning for 139 Court Drive, and By-law 133-23 confirming the proceedings of the Council meeting. All three readings were moved by Councillor Peirce and seconded by Councillor Bell, and all carried.
