Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review - Background
In 2022, The United Counites of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry received $122,000 modernization fund grant for a comprehensive Zoning By-law review for all Townships. An RFP was prepared following discussions with Township staff. A planning firm was retained to undertake a review of the nine existing zoning by-laws in effect, for the six constituent municipalities that make up the United Counties.
Township staff have been working closely with the consultant to prepare a draft zoning by-law for review. Following preliminary discussions, the consultant prepared a list of recommendations for updates to the by-law to ensure consistency with the SDG Counties Official Plan, Provincial Policy Statement, and current best practices in planning.
The recommendations report can be found at the following link: Municipal Zoning Review: Background/Third Party Reviewers Report
The most current consolidation of the zoning by-law (December 2023) can be found at the following link: Comprehensive Zoning By-law - December 2023 Consolidation
