Take Notice that the Council of the Township of Cavan Monaghan will hold a public meeting on Monday, December 1, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of the Township of Cavan Monaghan Municipal Office at 988 County Road 10, Millbrook ON to consider the proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments under Sections 17 and 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990 as amended.

The Amendments are required to permit the consideration of a mixed-use plan of subdivision. The plan includes 159 lots for single detached residential units, 28 townhouse blocks, and two (2) medium density blocks for a total of 483 residential units. Two (2) commercial blocks, two (2) natural heritage system blocks, one (1) stormwater management block and one (1) parkland block are also proposed.

Official Plan Amendment

Official Plan Amendment No. xx will change land use designations on the subject lands from Urban Employment Area, Community Commercial, Natural Core Area and Natural Linkage Area to Residential, Park and Open Space, Community Commercial, Natural Core Area and Natural Linkage Area.

The Amendment will also address policies related to the permitted maximum height for multi-unit residential buildings, the provisions of the Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) and the list of permitted uses with the Community Commercial designation.

A Zoning By-law Amendment is required to implement the Official Plan Amendment.

Zoning By-law Amendment

The Zoning By-law Amendment will change the zoning on portions of the property from the Urban Employment (M1), Natural Linkage (NL), and Community Commercial (C5) Zones to the Urban Residential Two Exception Five Holding Thirteen (UR2-5-H13) Zone and from the Urban Employment (M1) and Community Commercial (C5) Zones to the Community Commercial Exception Two (C5-2) Zone and from the Urban Employment (M1) Zone to the Natural Linkage (NL) and Open Space (OS) Zones.

New regulations for the C5-2 and UR2-5-H13 Zones are being introduced to create uniform regulations with the MZO currently in place.

The OS Zone is being introduced for the park block.

The holding provision will be removed only when the Township confirms adequate sanitary and water servicing capacity is available. The Holding provision may be removed from portions of the property in phases.
