Back to Search
Take notice that pursuant to Sections 17, 34(12) and 41 of the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, as amended, the Township of Cavan Monaghan will hold a Public Meeting to consider proposed amendments to the Township of Cavan Monaghan Official Plan, Zoning By-law No. 2018-58, as amended and Site Plan Control By-law No. 2007-20.
The proposed Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Site Plan Control By-law amendments apply to all lands in the Township of Cavan Monaghan. On this basis, a Key Map is not provided as the policies apply to the entire Township of Cavan Monaghan.
The proposed Official Plan, Zoning By-law and Site Plan Control By-law amendments are in regards to permitting Cannabis Production Facilities in the Township.
The Purpose of the Amendments is to address the fact that the current OP does not contemplate Cannabis Production Facilities as a land use in the Township. The amendment to the Official Plan is necessary to permit Cannabis Production Facilities responsibly in the Township, as well as ensure that the implementing Zoning By-law conforms to the Township of Cavan Monaghan Official Plan and the County of Peterborough Official Plan. The Site Plan Control By-law is being amended to be consistent with the proposed changes being implemented through the Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments.
The Effect is to implement a series of policies and regulations governing land uses within various land use designations and zones to clarify the appropriate locations and site development requirements for Cannabis Production Facilities in the Township.
