Section 1 .1.3 — Settlement Areas is applicable as the subject lands are located within the Hawkestone Rural Settlement Area — The PPS defines `development' as "the creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-135 Page 2 of 12 Page 67 of 233 6.a) 6.00 p.m.: DS2022-135, Danielle Waters, Planner re: Minor Variance ... structures requiring approval under the Planning Act..." The Settlement Areas section supports residential development and intensification within these boundaries; the applicant is proposing to construct an addition at the rear of the existing dwelling that would be a permitted use by these policies. Planning Staff is of the opinion that the application is in conformity with the PPS, 2020. A Place to Grow, 2020 A Place to Grow (2020) provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2.1 of the Growth Plan contains policies for "Managing Growth", and states that "Population and employment growth will be accommodated by — a) directing a significant portion of new growth to the built-up areas of the community through intensification ... [and] 1) directing development to settlement areas ...... Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is applicable to this application. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed addition at the rear of the existing dwelling conforms to the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan 2020 as the lands subject to this application is a residential lot within an established rural settlement area (Hawkestone). Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application conforms to the Growth Plan. County Official Plan The property is designated Settlements in the County of Simcoe's Official Plan. The intent of the Settlements designation is to "focus population and employment growth and development within settlements and minimize land consumption and servicing costs" (County of Simcoe, 2016). The proposed addition will be focusing development within the rural settlement area of Hawkestone. Based on the above, in Planning Staff's opinion, the applicant's minor variance application conforms to the general intent and purpose of the County's Official Plan. Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) The subject lands are located within the Lake Simcoe watershed where development is subject to the policies of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) which came into effect in 2009. The subject lands are not within an area regulated by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA). The application is within a Settlement Area and Section 6.32-6.34DP of the LSPP applies to the development proposal. Planning Staff have reviewed these sections of the LSPP and are of the opinion that the proposed development is in conformity with the LSPP as the proposed addition is not anticipated to have any adverse impact on any key natural heritage features.

Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. The Township's Official Plan identifies the subject lands to be within the Hawkestone Residential Area designation in the existing OP and the Rural Settlements designation in the updated Official Plan. Pursuant to the policies of both the in-force and the adopted OPs, permitted uses within this designation are single detached dwellings and by extension accessory uses to the residential use. The proposed is an expansion of the existing residential use. Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application conforms to the Township's Official Plans. Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Residential One (R1) in the Township's Zoning By-law 97- 95, as amended. The primary purpose of the interior yard setback is to provide spatial separation between structures and the lot line, as well as to provide space for access around a structure for repair and landscaping. Notwithstanding the proposed variances, Planning Staff believe that the proposed setback will continue to allow access around the structure. It is noted that the proposed addition is continuously further from the interior lot line as the structure expands towards the rear lot line. No comments or concerns have been submitted from the abutting neighbour. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-135 Page 4 of 12 Page 69 of 233 6.a) 6.00 p.m.: DS2022-135, Danielle Waters, Planner re: Minor Variance ... For the reasons outlined above, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are considered to meet the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Planning Staff does not expect the proposed addition to stand out, look out of place or detract from the character of this established neighbourhood. Upon site visit, Staff has identified that the proposed rear addition would be visible from the neighbouring properties however, the size of the addition will be keeping in character of the established neighbourhood. The proposed addition will not interfere with functional matters such as parking and septic system. The applicant has provided an updated site plan with the septic system location and Building Division Staff have confirmed they are satisfied with the proposed application. Planning Staff are satisfied that the existing dwelling may be legalized for its current setback. Due to the location of the existing dwelling being so close to the interior lot line there are minimal options on how to expand the dwelling. The existing dwelling does not run parallel with the lot line, and therefore the structure is continuously further from the lot line as it extends towards the rear of the property. Aside from stepping in the proposed addition, Planning Staff are satisfied that the proposed structure will be maintaining the existing facade of the lot line. Staff also note that structurally, the proposal as it stands will allow for a continuation of the roofline from the existing to the proposed addition, opposed to the alternative of stepping in the addition and having to construct a separate roof. Planning Staff are satisfied that the proposed development would be considered desirable for the appropriate development of the lot. Are the variances minor? The question of the minor nature of the variance relates to its scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested variances are minor in nature as the addition will be farther than the existing dwelling to the lot line. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of the Committee be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and Council chooses to defend the Committee's decision.

Background: The subject property has a lot area of 0.15 hectares (0.36 acres) and contains a single detached dwelling with two apartment dwelling units, a shed and a swimming pool. The location map is included as Schedule 1 to this report and an aerial photo is included as Schedule 2. The applicant is proposing to legalize two existing apartment dwelling units located in the single detached dwelling. The basement apartment is 62.4 square metres (672.0 square feet) with a shared means of egress with the main dwelling, and the apartment over the garage is 57.9 square metres (624.0 square feet) with access from the rear deck. As the apartments are existing, there are no proposed changes to the exterior of the building. The applicant is seeking relief to the following sections of Zoning By-law 97-95: Section 5.4 —Apartment Dwelling Units Accessory to a Single Detached Dwelling Required: Proposed: One apartment dwelling unit is permitted Two apartment dwelling units in a single in a single detached dwelling in the detached dwelling in the Residential One Residential One R1 Zone.

Analysis: Provincial Policies Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Section 1 .1 contains policies for managing and directing land use to achieve efficient and resilient development and land use patterns. Specifically, Section 1 .1.1 states that "Healthy, liveable and safe communities are sustained by: ... (b) accommodating an appropriate affordable and market-based range and mix of residential types (including single-detached, additional residential units, multi-unit housing, affordable housing and housing for older persons), employment (including industrial and commercial), institutional (including places of worship, cemeteries and long-term care homes), recreation, park and open space, and other uses to meet long-term needs;" (p. 7). This is addressed further in Section 1 .4 Housing that speaks to providing a mix of housing options and densities by permitting and facilitating all types of residential intensification, including additional residential units Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 2 of 14 Page 89 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... and redevelopment. The apartment dwelling units add to the range of housing options in the area. Section 1.1.4 — Rural Areas and Section 1 .1 .5 — Rural Lands are also applicable to this application. These policies support limited residential development as well as development that is compatible with the rural landscape. The proposed variances are in keeping with the rural landscape. Based on the above, Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application is consistent with the PPS. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2 contains policies for where and how to grow. Specifically, Section 2.2.1.4 (c) states that applying the policies of the Growth Plan will support the achievement of complete communities that "provide a diverse range and mix of housing options, including additional residential units and affordable housing, to accommodate people at all stages of life, and to accommodate the needs of all household sizes and incomes" (p. 14). These policies are reiterated in Section 2.2.6 Housing. The apartment dwelling units help contribute to providing a diverse range of housing options in the area. Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is also applicable to this application. This section states that new multiple lots or units for residential development will be directed to settlement areas but may be allowed on rural land in site-specific locations with approved zoning or designation in an official plan. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff is of the opinion that the minor variance application is consistent with the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan as the lands subject to this application are already within an established residential lot and the apartments will be compatible with the rural landscape and surrounding local land uses. A small portion of the property is regulated by the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) due to a floodplain associated with Bass Lake. The NVCA reviewed the application and based upon their mandate and policies under the Conservation Authorities Act, they have no objection to the approval of the Minor Variance application. Furthermore, the legalization of the two existing apartments will not require a NVCA Permit. County Official Plan The property is designated Rural in Simcoe County's Official Plan. Pursuant to Section 3.7.4, permitted uses in the Rural designation included limited residential development, subject to Section 3.7.11 which states that "New multiple lots and units for residential development will be directed to settlement areas, and may be allowed in rural areas in site-specific locations with approved zoning or designation that permits this type of development in local municipal official plans, as of June 16, 2006. Local municipal official plans may continue to recognize this type of development permitted under this Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 3 of 14 Page 90 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... policy and provide appropriate policies for development" (p. 40). The Township's updated Official Plan (adopted 2022), permits up to two additional residential units within a single detached dwelling. Section 4.1 - Healthy Communities and Housing Development discusses making available sufficient quantity of housing and an appropriate range of housing types and densities. In Planning Staff's opinion, the applicant's minor variance application conforms to the County's Official Plan as the apartment dwelling units help contribute towards a diverse housing stock and increased affordability in the area. Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 On November 28, 2022, Bill 23 received Royal Assent. The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, seeks to make it easier and faster to build new homes in Ontario. This is part of the Province's commitment to build 1 .5 million homes over the next 10 years. Section 16 (3) of the Planning Act, which speaks to Official Plans, was amended with the following new policies to permit gentle density/intensification: "Restrictions for residential units (3) No official plan may contain any policy that has the effect of prohibiting the use of, (a) two residential units in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse on a parcel of urban residential land, if all buildings and structures ancillary to the detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse cumulatively contain no more than one residential unit; (b) three residential units in a detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse on a parcel of urban residential land, if no building or structure ancillary to the detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse contains any residential units; or (c) one residential unit in a building or structure ancillary to a detached house, semi- detached house or rowhouse on a parcel of urban residential land, if the detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse contains no more than two residential units and no other building or structure ancillary to the detached house, semi-detached house or rowhouse contains any residential units. Same, parking (3.1) No official plan may contain any policy that has the effect of requiring more than one parking space to be provided and maintained in connection with a residential unit referred to in subsection (3). Same, minimum unit size (3.2) No official plan may contain any policy that provides for a minimum floor area of a residential unit referred to in subsection (3). Policies of no effect (3.3) A policy in an official plan is of no effect to the extent that it contravenes a restriction described in subsection (3), (3.1), or (3.2)". These policies permit up to three residential units in a single detached dwelling on a parcel of urban residential land, if there is no accessory building that contain a residential dwelling unit. The subject lands are located in a rural area and are serviced by a well and private sewage system. The applicant will be required to obtain a Septic Permit for a new septic system or a Sewage System Verification to confirm that the Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 4 of 14 Page 91 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... existing septic system is able to accommodate the additional dwelling units. The property has a long driveway that can accommodate well beyond the one parking space per residential unit. Section 3(5) of the Planning Act states that all decisions in respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with provincial policy statements and shall conform with or shall not conflict with the provincial plans that are in effect on the date of the decision. Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. The subject lands are designated Restricted Rural in "Schedule A — Land Use" of the Township's existing Official Plan (1997). The intent of the Restricted Rural Designation is: • To discourage the development of scattered residential, commercial and industrial uses in the area surrounding Barrie and Orillia. • To maintain and preserve the rural character of the area by clearly defining the urban boundary of the Cities of Barrie and Orillia. • To protect lands adjacent to the two urban municipalities from incompatible development to ensure that the expansion of their urban service areas in the future is cost-effective and efficient. Permitted uses in the Restricted Rural Designation include single detached dwellings. In the Township's updated Official Plan (adopted 2022), the subject lands are designated Rural. The objectives of the Rural designation are: "to provide for a full range of agricultural uses, agriculture-related uses, on-farm diversified uses as well as rural related uses which support the agricultural and rural community and which fit in to the rural character but are not appropriate in Settlement Areas. This is achieved by: a) preserving and promoting the rural character of the Township; b) preventing the intrusion of land uses that are incompatible with the rural character and/or natural resource activities of the area; and, Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 5 of 14 Page 92 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... c) promoting diversification of the economic base within the Rural designation" (p.58). Permitted uses in the Rural designation include single detached dwellings and additional residential units (subject to the policies of Section 4.9). Section 4.9.3 states that "Where an Additional Residential Unit is permitted, a maximum of two Additional Residential Units are permitted within a single detached, semi-detached dwelling or rowhouse dwelling" (p. 164). Section 4.9.7 states: "Additional Residential Units will be regulated by the provisions of the implementing Zoning By-law in accordance with the following provisions: a) The Additional Residential Unit shall clearly be ancillary to the principal residence and specific limits as the maximum floor area permitted or size relative to the primary residence will established in the Zoning By-law; b) The Additional Residential Unit shall be integrated into its surroundings with negligible visual impact to the streetscape; c) The Additional Residential Unit shall be compatible in design and scale with the built form of the primary dwelling; d) The Additional Residential Unit shall only be permitted on lots that have appropriate frontage and an entrance directly onto a publicly maintained road; and, e) Other siting requirements related to matters such as servicing, parking and access requirements and stormwater management shall be established in the Zoning By-law" (p. 164). The apartments at 57.9 square metres (624.0 square feet) and 62.4 square metres (672.0 square feet) are secondary to the primary dwelling unit that is 117.1 square metres (1,260 square feet). The additional dwelling units have been integrated into the surroundings, with no visual impact to the streetscape, as there are no indications of an apartment when viewing the property from the road. The subject lands front directly on Highway 12 and have a frontage of 23.9 metres (78.3 feet), which is less than the required 30.0 metres (98.4 feet) in the Residential One Zone. Nevertheless, the two additional dwelling units fit within the existing single detached dwelling. There is ample space for parking for the three dwelling units along the long driveway. Section 4.9.10 states: "The Additional Residential Unit will be permitted only where a property is demonstrated to have an adequate supply of potable water and an appropriate means of sewage disposal in a manner that is acceptable to the Township" (p. 164). The property is serviced by well and private septic system. The owner will be required to obtain a Septic Permit or Sewage System Verification to ensure that there is capacity for the three dwelling units. Section 4.9.11 states: "Generally, Additional Residential Units will only be permitted as- of-right by the Zoning By-law on lots that comply with the minimum lot area and minimum lot frontage requirements of the Zoning By-law" (p. 165). The existing lot area and lot frontage is non-complying as the Residential One (R1) Zone requires a minimum lot frontage of 30.0 metres (98.4 feet) and a minimum lot area of 0.2 hectares (0.49 acres), whereas the existing lot has a lot frontage of 23.9 metres (78.3 feet) and an area of 0.15 hectares (0.36 acres). Nevertheless, the single detached dwelling and two apartment dwelling units fit on the lot within the required setbacks. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 6 of 14 Page 93 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... Based on the above, the requested variances pertaining to the two existing apartment dwelling units are considered to conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Residential One (R1) in the Township's Zoning By-law 97- 95. According to the Township's Zoning By-law, one apartment dwelling unit is permitted in the Residential One Zone pursuant to Section 5.4. The owner has requested relief from the Zoning By-law to legalize two existing apartment dwelling units located in the single detached dwelling and to permit one apartment dwelling unit to have a shared means of egress with the main dwelling. The Zoning By-law regulates both the dwelling and the apartment dwelling unit (second suite). One of the zoning requirements is that the apartment dwelling unit has a means of egress to the outside that is separate from any means of egress for another dwelling unit. The basement apartment has two shared means of egress with the main dwelling unit, one through a hallway out a side door and the other through the shared laundry room. The apartment over the attached garage has a separate means of egress via the rear deck. The Building Department indicated that the Ontario Building Code (OBC) has minimum requirements for shared egress facilities. The applicant will have to show that their fire separations are done correctly through the Building Permit process. The Zoning By-law has not been updated yet to reflect the Township's adopted Official Plan, which permits two apartment dwelling units in a single detached dwelling. Based on the above, Planning Staff is satisfied that the existing apartment dwelling units conform to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Planning Staff considered the proposed application within the context of the surrounding properties and the established character and built form of the neighbourhood. Upon site visit, Planning Staff noted that the building appears to be an ordinary single detached dwelling when viewed from the road. With the access to the apartment dwelling units on the side and rear of the dwelling, the single detached dwelling will clearly be the main dwelling unit in the building in terms of its appearance and function. The existing apartment dwelling units do not stand-out, look out of place or detract from the character of the area. Furthermore, the east interior side lot line and rear lot line are lined with trees and the west interior side lot line is fenced which will help screen the apartments from the neighbouring properties. The property contains a long driveway with ample space for parking for all three dwelling units. The Owner will be required to obtain a Building Permit to confirm that the minimum requirements are being met under the Ontario Building Code for the existing apartment dwelling units, and obtain a Septic Permit for a new septic system or a Sewage System Verification to confirm that the existing septic system is able to accommodate the three Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-139 Page 7 of 14 Page 94 of 233 6.b) 6.10 p.m. DS2022-139, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... dwelling units. The Building Division noted that the pool appears to have been installed over the existing sewage system. Based on the aerial imagery, the swimming pool appears to have been installed sometime in the last four years. Since the pool was installed without a permit, Planning Staff have recommended that as a condition of the Minor Variance that the applicant obtains the required Zoning Certificate and Pool Fence Permit for the pool. As part of these approvals, the applicant will be required to relocate the pool so that it complies with the required minimum setbacks to the septic tank and to the septic bed. The Ministry of Transportation (MTO) provided comments dated December 9, 2022, indicating that they have no concerns with the Minor Variance application. They noted that there are two entrances off Highway 12 and that only one entrance is permitted per property; therefore, one entrance should be removed. Based on the aerial imagery, the second entrance was added sometime between 2018 and 2022. Since it was constructed without MTO approval, Planning Staff have recommended that as a condition of approval of the Minor Variance application, that the owner removes the second entrance to the satisfaction of the MTO. Upon site visit, Planning Staff noted that there is a relatively new deck at the rear of the dwelling that is used to access the second-floor apartment over the garage. Based on the aerial imagery, this deck was installed sometime since 2018 and there are no records of a Building Permit application for the deck. Therefore, Planning Staff recommended that as a condition of approval of the Minor Variance application, that the owner obtains the necessary Zoning Certificate and Building Permit for the second-floor deck. Based on the above, Planning Staff is satisfied that the existing apartment dwelling units would be considered desirable for the appropriate development of the lot. Are the variances minor? The question of the minor nature of the variances relates to their scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested Minor Variances are minor in nature as the two existing apartment dwelling units are secondary and subordinate to the primary residential use on the lot and their continued use is not anticipated to have any adverse impacts on the neighbouring properties. As the proposed variances are considered to conform to the general intent of the Official Plan, to meet the general intent of the Zoning By-law, to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and are not anticipated to have an adverse effect on the character of the surrounding area, the variances are considered to be minor. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of the Committee be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and Council chooses to defend the Committee's decision.

Consultations: Notice of this application was circulated to the public and to various review agencies and Township departments. A Public notice sign was also posted on the subject lands. As of the preparation of this report, the following comments have been received: • Township Development Engineering — No objection. • Township Infrastructure and Capital Projects — No comments. • Township Building Division: o Building permit required to confirm minimum requirements are being met for the Ontario Building Code. o Septic permit required for new septic system or verification of existing to accommodate additional flow. (appears pool has been installed over existing sewage system). • Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) — No objection. • Ministry of Transportation (MTO) - MTO has no concerns with the minor variance, but please make the owner aware that their property is fronting an MTO owned highway and is within MTO permit control area. Any external work will require MTO review and applicable permits. Only one entrance is permitted per property and the site seems to have two entrances to Highway 12, one entrance should ultimately be removed. • Alderville First Nation — We have no issues with granting the land owner his/her request.

And that the applicant be advised of the Development Services Committee's decision under the Secretary-Treasurer's signature. Background: The subject property has a lot area of 0.23 hectares (0.57 acres) and is currently used as a residential lot, as shown on Schedules 1 and 2. The property currently supports a single detached dwelling, boat house and several detached accessory buildings. The applicants are proposing to legalize the detached accessory building with attached gazebo/canopy structure, that was constructed by a previous owner without permits. The applicants are seeking relief to the following section of Zoning By-law 97-95: Section 5.1.3 d — Detached accessory buildings Required: Existing to be legalized: Min.

Analysis: Provincial Policies Provincial Policy Statement, 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Specifically, Section 1 .1.4 — Rural Areas, Section 2.2 — Water and Section 3.1 — Natural Hazards are applicable to this application. The PPS defines `development' as "the creation of a new lot, a change in land use, or the construction of buildings and structures requiring approval under the Planning Act..." The Rural Areas section supports limited residential development as well as development that is compatible with and builds upon the rural landscape. Section 2.2 — Water aims to "protect, improve or restore the quality and quantity of water". Planning staff are confident that the required permit by Lake Simcoe Region Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-136 Page 2 of 10 Page 113 of 233 6.c) 6.20 p.m. DS2022-136, Danielle Waters, Planner re: Minor Variance A... Conservation Authority (LSRCA) will take all necessary precautions to protect the environment. Section 3.1 Natural Hazards is met as per comments received by LSRCA. Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application conforms to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020. A Place to Grow, 2020 A Place to Grow (2020) provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is applicable to this application. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed is consistent with the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan 2020 as the lands subject to this application are already within an established residential subdivision. With respect to Section 4.2.2, the Province has mapped the Natural Heritage System, but the mapping is not applicable until such time that the upper tier municipality has identified the natural heritage systems in their official plans. However, this policy is relevant due to the proximity of the lands to an inland lake. Section 4.2.4.5 of the Growth Plan permits development outside of settlement areas, in developed shoreline areas of inland lakes that are designated or zoned, as of July 1 , 2017, for concentrations of shoreline residential development subject to certain conditions. The subject lands are not located within any natural heritage designations identified in the Township's or County's Official Plans. Furthermore, pursuant to Section 4.2.4.5 of the Growth Plan 2020, the proposed development is permitted, as the subject lands are located with a developed shoreline area. Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application conforms to A Place to Grow, 2020. County Official Plan The property is designated Rural in the County of Simcoe's Official Plan. The intent of the Rural designation is to "recognize, preserve and protect the rural character and promote long-term diversity and viability of rural economic activities" (County of Simcoe, 2016). Section 3.7.4 permits limited residential development in the rural designation. In Planning Staff's opinion, the application conforms to the County's Official Plan as the construction of a detached accessory building is permitted on the subject lands. Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) The subject lands are regulated by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA). The LSRCA has been circulated for this application and reviews applications in context of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP), and Ontario Regulation 179/06 Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-136 Page 3 of 10 Page 114 of 233 6.c) 6.20 p.m. DS2022-136, Danielle Waters, Planner re: Minor Variance A... under the Conservation Authorities Act. LSRCA has provided comments to the Township, and they have no concerns with this application. As the subject lands are regulated, the LSRCA permit will be required which has previously been obtained on September 13, 2022. On November 28, 2022, Bill 23 received Royal Assent. The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, seeks to make it easier and faster to build new homes in Ontario. This is part of the Province's commitment to build 1 .5 million homes over the next 10 years. Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, which speaks to regulation of areas over which conservation authorities have jurisdiction, was amended with the following new policies: "Same, Planning Act (4.1) Subject to subsection (4.2), the prohibition in subsection (1) do not apply to an activity within a municipality prescribed by the regulation if, (a) the activity is part of development authorized under the Planning Act; and, (b) such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed for obtaining the exception and on carrying out the activity are satisfied. Same (4.2) If a regulation prescribes activities, areas of municipalities or types of authorizations under the Planning Act for the purposes of this subsection, or prescribes any other conditions or restrictions relating to an exception under subsection (4.1), the exception applies only in respect of such activities, areas, and authorizations and subject to such conditions and restrictions." More clearly, any development that is authorized by the Planning Act is exempt from Conservation Authority approval. This particular Bill 23 change is not in effect yet and will come into force on a day to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor. Until such time, the subject lands are regulated by the LSRCA and the applicants will be required to obtain a LSRCA Permit prior to submitting their Building Permit application. The requirement for a LSRCA Permit has been included as a recommended condition of approval. Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 Section 3(5) of the Planning Act states that all decisions in respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with provincial policy statements and shall conform with or shall not conflict with the provincial plans that are in effect on the date of the decision. Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-136 Page 4 of 10 Page 115 of 233 6.c) 6.20 p.m. DS2022-136, Danielle Waters, Planner re: Minor Variance A... must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. The subject lands are designated Shoreline in the current and adopted Township's Official Plan. Pursuant to the policies of the Plan, permitted uses within the Shoreline designation include a single detached dwelling. The Shoreline designation allows for limited shoreline development. Therefore, based on the above, the requested variances are considered to conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in the Township's Zoning By- law 97-95, as amended. Detached accessory buildings and by extension accessory uses to the residential use are permitted in the SR Zone. The primary purpose of the interior yard setback is to provide spatial separation between structures and the lot line, as well as to provide space for access around a structure for repair and landscaping. Notwithstanding the proposed variances, Planning Staff believe that the proposed setback provides an adequate setback from the lot line and will continue to allow access around the structure. For the reasons outlined above, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the requested variances are considered to meet the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Planning Staff does not expect the proposed structures to stand-out, look out of place or detract from the character of this established neighbourhood. Upon site visit, Staff has identified that the proposed detached accessory buildings have been previously constructed without a permit. Staff note that the structures are visible from the neighbouring property and the road. The proposed structure will not interfere with functional matters of the property such as the septic system, or landscaping. Based on the above, Planning Staff are satisfied that the proposed development would be considered desirable for the appropriate development of the lot.

The question of the minor nature of the variances relates to its scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested variances are minor in nature as the buildings are not anticipated to have an adverse impact on the neighbourhood.

Background: The subject property has a lot area of 0.46 hectares (1.19 acres) and is currently vacant. The location map is included as Schedule 1 to this report and an aerial photo is included as Schedule 2. The applicant is proposing to build a single detached dwelling and detached accessory building (garage). The applicant is seeking relief to the following sections of Zoning By- law 97-95: Single Detached Dwelling: Section 5.9.1 — Encroachments in Require Yards Required: Proposed: Unenclosed porches are not permitted Proposing to encroach 1.0 metre (3.3 feet) to encroach into the exterior side yard. into the required 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) exterior side yard setback.

Analysis: Provincial Policies Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Section 1 .1 .4 — Rural Areas is applicable to this application, as the subject lands are located within an existing rural residential plan of subdivision. The Rural Areas section supports limited residential development as well as development that is compatible with and builds upon the rural landscape. The proposed variances are in keeping with the rural landscape. Based on the above, Planning Staff is of the opinion that this application is consistent with the PPS. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is applicable to this application, as the subject lands are located within an existing rural residential plan of subdivision. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed single detached dwelling and detached accessory building are consistent with the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan as the lands subject to this application are already on an established residential lot. County Official Plan The property is designated Rural in Simcoe County's Official Plan. Pursuant to Section 3.7.4, permitted uses in the Rural designation included limited residential development. In Planning Staff's opinion, the applicant's minor variance application for the proposed single detached dwelling and accessory building on an existing residential lot conforms to the County's Official Plan. Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 Section 3(5) of the Planning Act states that all decisions in respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with provincial policy statements and shall conform with or shall not conflict with the provincial plans that are in effect on the date of the decision. Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-138 Page 3 of 15 Page 134 of 233 6.d) 6.30 p.m. DS2022-138, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. The subject lands are designated Rural Residential in "Schedule A — Land Use" of the Township's existing Official Plan (1997) and of the Township's updated Official Plan. The objective of the Rural Residential Designation is to only recognize existing estate and county residential developments in the Township and that development shall be limited to existing lots of record. Permitted uses in the Rural Residential Designation include: single detached dwellings, additional dwelling units and accessory uses. The proposed variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan as the applicant is proposing to build a single detached dwelling with an apartment dwelling unit in the basement and a detached accessory building which are permitted uses on this existing lot of record. Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Rural Residential Two (RUR2) in the Township's Zoning By-law 97-95. The applicant is proposing to build a single detached dwelling with an apartment dwelling unit in the basement and a two-storey detached accessory building. The proposed basement apartment meets all the zoning requirements listed in Section 5.4 of the Township's Zoning By-law. The owner has requested relief from the Zoning By-law to permit the unenclosed porch on the exterior side of the single detached dwelling to encroach 1 .0 metre (3.3 feet) into the required 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) exterior side yard setback. As per Section 5.9.1 of the Township's Zoning By-law, "Architectural features such as... unenclosed porches... may encroach into any required yard a distance of not more than 1.0 metre (3.2 feet). Notwithstanding this, no unenclosed porches, balconies, or decks are permitted to encroach into the interior side yard, exterior side yard or setback area from the average high water mark" (p.5-6). One of the purposes of maintaining a minimum exterior side yard setback is to maintain and protect the residential character and to ensure adequate area exists between the road and the dwelling. In Planning Staff's opinion, the proposed porch encroachment will still provide an adequate separation between the road and the unenclosed porch as there is adequate space for maintenance and access around the dwelling and it would not interfere with parking or access as the driveway is located along the front lot line. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-138 Page 4 of 15 Page 135 of 233 6.d) 6.30 p.m. DS2022-138, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... According to the Township's Zoning By-law, a detached accessory building is permitted pursuant to Section 5.1. The applicant has requested relief from the Zoning By-law to permit construction of a two-storey detached accessory building in the front yard, 8 metres (26.2 feet) from the front lot line and with an increased floor area to provide additional storage space. The general intent of the Zoning By-law in prohibiting detached accessory buildings, such as garages, in front yards is to ensure the dwelling remains primary in both use and appearance on the lands, particularly when viewed from the street, and to ensure that there is adequate space for parking in the driveway. Based on the site plan, there is adequate space for parking on the lot to accommodate both the primary dwelling and the apartment dwelling unit. The driveway appears to be the full width of the garage (approximately 9.1 metres/29.9 feet). As per the Township's Operations comments, the driveway width cannot exceed a maximum of 6.0 metres (19.7 feet) where it crosses the front lot line; therefore, the driveway design will have to be amended prior to obtaining an Entrance Permit for the new driveway. Even though the garage is technically located in the front yard based on the Zoning By-law definitions, the front of the dwelling is proposed to face the exterior side lot line; therefore, the garage will appear to be located behind the dwelling. Detached accessory buildings are subject to maximum size restrictions to ensure that such structures remain secondary and subordinate, in both their appearance and use, to the main residential use of the lot, and to prevent over-development that would detract from the character of the area. The applicant is proposing to build a two storey detached accessory building with a 62.76 square metres (675.58 square feet) main level garage and a 47.24 square metres (508.53 square feet) second storey storage loft, for a total building floor area of 110.0 square metres (1 ,184.1 square feet). The proposed floor area is smaller than the single detached dwelling which has a floor area of 247.61 square metres (2,665.3 square feet) (including the basement apartment dwelling unit) according to the information provided on the Minor Variance application form. Despite the proposed increase in the floor area, the proposed detached accessory building complies with the maximum lot coverage and maximum height for detached accessory buildings. In Planning Staff's opinion, the accessory building's smaller size and the proposed use of the building for storage, will help ensure that the accessory building will remain secondary and subordinate to the primary residential use. Based on the above, Planning Staff is satisfied that the proposed single detached dwelling and detached accessory building would conform to the general purpose and intent of the Zoning By-law. Are the variances desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Planning Staff considered the proposed application within the context of the surrounding properties and the established character and built form of the neighbourhood. The subject lands are a corner lot with two frontages along Slalom Drive. Based on the Township's Zoning By-law definitions, the garage is located in front of the dwelling; however, based on the placement of the buildings on the lot, the garage will appear to be located behind the dwelling when looking at the dwelling's main entrance. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-138 Page 5 of 15 Page 136 of 233 6.d) 6.30 p.m. DS2022-138, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re:... Planning Staff noted that the requested variances to permit an oversized detached accessory building in the front yard is not out of character for the area as there have been a number of similar variances within this subdivision. As an example, the owner at 67 Slalom Drive obtained a variance to permit a two-storey detached accessory building in the front yard, approximately 8.8 metres (28.9 feet) from the front lot line, and with an increased maximum floor area of 126.4 square metres (1,360.0 square feet) (63.2 square metres/680.0 square feet per floor) (Minor Variance 2021-A-47). The owners of 44 Slalom Drive obtained a variance to permit a detached accessory building in the front yard, 11.5 metres from the front lot line (Minor Variance 2007-A-40). Prior to issuance of a Building Permit, the owner will be required to prepare an Engineered Lot Grading (ELG) Plan, that is subject to municipal approval. The ELG plan will ensure that water drainage resulting from the proposed building will be mitigated on the subject lands and will not impact the neighbouring lots. For these reasons, Planning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed variances are considered desirable development of the lot. Are the variances minor? The question of the minor nature of the variances relates to their scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested Minor Variances are minor in nature as they are not anticipated to have any adverse impacts on the neighbouring properties. As the proposed variances are considered to conform to the general intent of the Official Plan, to meet the general intent of the Zoning By-law, to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and are not anticipated to have an adverse effect on the character of the surrounding area, the variances are considered to be minor. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of the Committee be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and Council chooses to defend the Committee's decision.

Consultations: Notice of this application was circulated to the public and to various review agencies and Township departments. A Public notice sign was also posted on the subject lands. Comments were received from the neighbour at 56 Slalom Drive with concerns regarding the tree clearing prior to obtaining permits. As of the preparation of this report, the following comments have been received from internal departments and applicable agencies: • Township Development Engineering — Development Engineering has No Objection to the above noted Application. An Engineered Lot Grading Plan shall be Required at the time of Building Permit Application. The driveway entrance width shall be reviewed by Operations / Capital to ensure conformance to the criteria for entrances. • Township Infrastructure and Capital Projects: o The driveway width is not specifically dimensioned, but shall be maximum 6.Om wide. o Applicant to obtain an Entrance Permit. • Township Building Division — No comments. • Township Environmental Services o All water must pass through the meter. o Water service rates are "per unit". So fixed fees for the property would increase from 1 to 2.

Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-143 Page 1 of 11 Page 161 of 233 6.e) 6.40 p.m.: DS2022-143, Derek Witlib, Acting Director, Development S... Background: The subject property has an area of 65.174 hectares (161 acres) and contains a one- storey single detached dwelling and a two-storey accessory building. Portions of the property are under agricultural cultivation and there are also wooded areas, wetlands and a watercourse (Bluff's Creek) on the property. A Location Map is included as Schedule 1 to this report and an Aerial Photo is included as Schedule 2. The accessory building that is the subject of this Minor Variance application obtained a building permit in 2018 for the purposes of a 4-bay agricultural building with 2nd floor office space and storage. The Township's Zoning By-law does not limit the floor area and height agricultural buildings. The Zoning By-law also permits a farm office within an agricultural building that supports farming uses on the same lands. It was subsequently determined that the building's use is that of an accessory building that includes a home occupation (accessory to a residential use on the property) and the building is not being used as an agricultural building. The home occupation consists of office space serving the applicant's business (Elite Hospitality Group) which administers off-site businesses and services. Since accessory buildings are subject to height and floor area restrictions as set out in the Township's Zoning By-law and home occupations are subject to restrictions that include not employing more than one (1) employee who is not a resident of the dwelling on the lands, the applicant is seeking compliance by requesting relief from the following Sections of Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended: Section 5.1.4 — Maximum Height of a Detached Accessory Building Required. Proposed: Max. 4.5 metres 14.7 feet T7.1 metres 23.25 feet Section 5.1.4 — Maximum Floor Area of a Detached Accessory Building A/RU Zone Required. Proposed: 100.0 square metres (1 ,076.4 square feet) 381 square metres (4,096 square feet) Section 5.12 — Home Occupations Required: Proposed: A Home Occupation shall not employ more Employ a maximum of three (3) employees than one (1) employee who is not a who are not residents of the dwelling unit. resident of the dwelling unit. A site plan and a photo of the accessory building are included as Schedules 3 and 4. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-143 Page 2 of 11 Page 162 of 233 6.e) 6.40 p.m.: DS2022-143, Derek Witlib, Acting Director, Development S... Analysis: Provincial Policies Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Specifically, Section 1 .1 .4 — Rural Areas, Section 2.1 — Natural Heritage, Section 2.2 — Water, Section 3.1 — Natural Hazards and Section 2.3 —Agriculture are applicable to this application. The application represents an accessory use to the permitted residential use of an existing lot in a prime agricultural area. Natural heritage features, potential natural hazards associated with Bluffs Creek and a Provincial Significant Wetland and prime agricultural lands are found on the property but are not affected by the proposed variances. Therefore, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the application is consistent with the PPS. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is applicable to this application. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed accessory building conforms to with the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan as it represents residentially—related development on an existing lot. Since the proposed variances would not result in any building expansions into a key hydrologic feature, key natural heritage features or vegetation protection zone, Based on the above, it is Planning Staff's opinion that the proposed development conforms to the Growth Plan. County of Simcoe Official Plan The property is designated Agricultural and Greenlands in Simcoe County's Official Plan. The accessory building that is the subject of this application, as well as the existing dwelling on the lands, are both located within the Agricultural designation, where residential development and accessory uses on existing lots are generally permitted. In Planning Staff's opinion, the proposed development conforms to the County's Official Plan as it is associated with an existing permitted residential use. Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 On November 28, 2022, Bill 23 (More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022) received Royal Assent. Bill 23 seeks to make it easier and faster to build new homes in Ontario, as part of the Province's commitment to build 1.5 million homes over the next 10 years. This application is impacted by Bill 23 insofar that third party appeals of Minor Variance Decisions are no longer permitted. No one other than the applicant, the municipality, certain public bodies and the Minister may appeal a Minor Variance decision. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-143 Page 3 of 11 Page 163 of 233 6.e) 6.40 p.m.: DS2022-143, Derek Witlib, Acting Director, Development S... Section 3(5) of the Planning Act states that all decisions in respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with Provincial Policy Statements and shall conform with or shall not conflict with the Provincial Plans that are in effect on the date of the decision. Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan (OP) was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. Current Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan The subject lands are designated Agricultural and Environmental Protection One in the Township's Official Plan. The building that is the subject of this application is located within the Agricultural designation, it does not affect the natural heritage features located elsewhere on the property and the Official Plan's Environmental Protection One policies do not require consideration in the review of this application. The Official Plan states that the principle use of land in the Agricultural designation shall be agriculture. Permitted uses also include dwellings, their associated accessory buildings and home occupations. The subject building, which was initially permitted as an agricultural building, will not change in terms of its outward appearance and size in the event that this Minor Variance application is approved. The building's size and appearance is consistent with that of a certain types of modern agricultural buildings and in Planning Staff's opinion it does not detract from the agricultural character of the lands or the surrounding area. The building is located on a relatively large property (65.17 hectares / 161 acres), is well separated from neighbours and the current home occupation (office use) does not have any characteristics that would detract from any agricultural activities or that would negatively impact the use and enjoyment of surrounding properties. Therefore, it is Planning Staff's opinion, that the proposed variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the current Official Plan. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-143 Page 4 of 11 Page 164 of 233 6.e) 6.40 p.m.: DS2022-143, Derek Witlib, Acting Director, Development S... Adopted Official Plan (pending approval) The adopted Official Plan includes a Greenlands designation that will cover slightly more of the lands than the existing Environmental Protection One designation. The existing dwelling and accessory building are captured within the new Greenlands designation. Since the proposed variances would not result in any building expansions into a key hydrologic feature, key natural heritage features or vegetation protection zone, it is Planning Staff's opinion that the proposed variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the adopted Official Plan. Do the variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The majority of the subject property is zoned Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) and portions are zoned Environmental Protection (EP). The existing developed portion of the lands, including the accessory building that is the subject of this application, is entirely within the A/RU Zone. Single detached dwellings and accessory buildings are permitted in the A/RU Zone. The general intent of the Zoning By-law in prescribing a maximum permitted height and floor area for an accessory building is to ensure that an accessory building will continue to be secondary and subordinate in both use and in appearance to the primary residential use of a property, and that the appearance, scale and use of the accessory building is appropriate for and compatible with the property and the surrounding area. In this case the existing 2-storey accessory building possesses a smaller footprint but is taller than the existing 1-storey dwelling on the lands. The accessory building is also closer to the road then the dwelling. These characteristics combine to make the accessory building a dominant structure on the lands. However, it is planning Staff's opinion that this is mitigated by the design and external treatments on the building, which give it an agricultural appearance (as opposed, for example, to an industrial or commercial appearance) and make it compatible with and complimentary to the rural character of the surrounding area. In other words, the building does not look out of place, in comparison to the appearance and scale of other structures in the immediate area or on the Township's broader rural landscape. With respect to the applicant's home occupation, the Zoning By-law does not limit the number of residents from a household who may work at a home occupation, but the Zoning By-law does limit the number of non-residents to a maximum of one. This requirement, combined with other limitations set out in the Zoning By-law, are intended to ensure that a home occupation does not become a dominant stand-alone use on a property, but instead remains tied to, subordinate and compatible with the residential use and with the surrounding area. In this case, it is Planning Staffs opinion that the applicant's request to increase the number of non-residents of the home occupation to three (3) people, would in no way increase the scale or intensity of the home occupation in such a way as to become a dominant use on the property or to create a nuisance that would interfere with surrounding properties or conflict with agricultural operations in the area. Therefore, Planning Staff is satisfied that the proposed variances conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-143 Page 5 of 11 Page 165 of 233 6.e) 6.40 p.m.: DS2022-143, Derek Witlib, Acting Director, Development S... Are the variances desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? As noted earlier in this report, the subject building was constructed as an agricultural building and its physical appearance is compatible with the rural area, notwithstanding that the use of the building is for accessory and home occupation purposes. This change of use has necessitated some retrofits for the purposes of Building Code compliance, which can be addressed through the Minor Variance and Building Permit processes, should the requested variances be approved. Functional considerations on the lands such as parking, septic system area, landscaped amenity space and agricultural uses would not be negatively impacted in the event that the variances are approved. The nature of the home occupation (office use) is such that Planning Staff do not anticipate nuisance impacts such as noise, traffic or property standards concerns. Based on the above, Planning Staff is satisfied that the proposed variances are appropriate for the desirable development of the lot. Are the variances minor? The question of the minor nature of the variance relates to its scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested Minor Variance is minor in nature as the proposed development is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the subject lands or the surrounding area, and will not detract from the use and enjoyment of nearby properties. As the proposed variances are considered to conform to the general intent of the Official Plan, to meet the general intent of the Zoning By-law, to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and are not anticipated to have any adverse impacts, the variances are considered to be minor. The applicant has supplied the Township with a Planning Justification Report prepared by a Registered Professional Planner, whose analysis, conclusions and recommendations are consistent with Planning Staff's analysis as contained in this Staff Report. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of the Committee be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and Council chooses to defend the Committee's decision.

And that the applicant be advised of the Development Services Committee's decision under the Secretary-Treasurer's signature. Background: The subject lands are located at 881 Woodland Drive and currently support a one- storey single detached dwelling and accessory buildings. The lands have a road frontage of approximately 9.14 metres (29.9 feet), a shoreline frontage of approximately 38.6 metres (126.6 feet) and a lot area of 0.15 hectares (0.37 acres). A Location Map is included as Schedule 1 to this report and an aerial image is included as Schedule 2. The purpose of Minor Variance Application 2022-A-62 is to permit the construction of an addition to the existing single detached dwelling with a reduced rear yard setback to the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe. Specifically, the applicants have requested relief from the following section of Zoning By-law 97-95, as amended: Section 4.0/Table B1 — Minimum Rear Yard Setback from the Average High-Water Mark of Lake Simcoe for a Single Detached Dwelling Required: Proposed: 20.0 metres 65.6 feet 17.04 metres 55.91 feet The applicants' site plan, floor plan and elevation drawings are included as Schedules 3, 4 and 5 to this report. Analysis: Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) 2020 The Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. Specifically, Section 1 .1.4 — Rural Areas, Section 2.1 — Natural Heritage, Section 2.2 - Water and Section 3.1 — Natural Hazards are applicable to this application. This application represents limited, resource-based (shoreline) residential development that is consistent with the PPS with respect to Rural Areas. The application is also consistent with the Natural Heritage, Water and Natural Hazards policies of the PPS, as the proposed development is not anticipated to impact any natural features or functions. A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (2020) The Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe provides a long-term plan to manage growth and protect the natural environment. Section 2.2.9 Rural Areas is applicable to this application. This section has been reviewed and Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed single detached dwelling addition is consistent with the Rural Areas policies in the Growth Plan as the lands subject to this application are already within an established shoreline residential area. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-141 Page 2 of 13 Page 181 of 233 6J) 6.50 p.m. DS2022-141 , Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re. Minor Va... The proposed development is located within 120 metres of an inland lake (Lake Simcoe). Section 4.2.4.5 of the Growth Plan permits development outside of settlement areas, in developed shoreline areas of inland lakes that are designated or zoned, as of July 1, 2017, for concentrations of shoreline residential development subject to certain conditions. Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development conforms to the Growth Plan as the lands subject to this application are already within an established shoreline residential area. Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) The subject lands are located within the Lake Simcoe watershed where development is subject to the policies of the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) which came into effect in 2009. In accordance with Section 6.45-DP(c), "expansion to existing buildings...are permitted subject to a demonstration that the use does not expand into a key natural heritage feature, a key hydrologic feature and any minimum vegetation protection zone associated with a feature of the Lake Simcoe shoreline, unless there is no alternative in which case any expansion shall be limited in scope and kept within close geographical proximity to the existing structure" (p. 54). Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed development is consistent with the LSPP as the proposed addition will not encroach any closer to the lake than the existing dwelling and obtained support from the LSRCA. The subject property is located within the LSRCA's regulated area. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) has been circulated the subject application and have advised that they have no objection to the application as proposed subject to the owners preparing and completing a Shoreline Planting Plan, to the satisfaction of the LSRCA and that the owners obtain a LSRCA permit ahead of any development or site alteration to occur on-site. On November 28, 2022, Bill 23 received Royal Assent. The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022, seeks to make it easier and faster to build new homes in Ontario. This is part of the Province's commitment to build 1 .5 million homes over the next 10 years. Section 28 of the Conservation Authorities Act, which speaks to regulation of areas over which conservation authorities have jurisdiction, was amended with the following new policies: "Same, Planning Act (4.1) Subject to subsection (4.2), the prohibition in subsection (1) do not apply to an activity within a municipality prescribed by the regulation if, (a) the activity is part of development authorized under the Planning Act; and, (b) such conditions and restrictions as may be prescribed for obtaining the exception and on carrying out the activity are satisfied. Same (4.2) If a regulation prescribes activities, areas of municipalities or types of authorizations under the Planning Act for the purposes of this subsection, or prescribes any other conditions or restrictions relating to an exception under subsection (4.1), the Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-141 Page 3 of 13 Page 182 of 233 6J) 6.50 p.m. DS2022-141 , Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re. Minor Va... exception applies only in respect of such activities, areas, and authorizations and subject to such conditions and restrictions." More clearly, any development that is authorized by the Planning Act is exempt from Conservation Authority approval. This particular Bill 23 change is not in effect yet and will come into force on a day to be named by proclamation of the Lieutenant Governor. Until such time, the subject lands are regulated by the LSRCA and the applicants will be required to obtain a LSRCA Permit prior to submitting their Building Permit application. The requirement for a LSRCA Permit has been included as a recommended condition of approval. County Official Plan The property is designated Rural in Simcoe County's Official Plan. The Rural Designation permits limited residential development. In Planning Staff's opinion, the proposed single detached dwelling addition is consistent with the County's Official Plan as it is a permitted use. Planning Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.13 Section 3(5) of the Planning Act states that all decisions in respect of the exercise of any authority that affects a planning matter shall be consistent with provincial policy statements and shall conform with or shall not conflict with the provincial plans that are in effect on the date of the decision. Section 45(1) of the Planning Act establishes a four-fold test for a minor variance which requires consideration of: (1) whether the variance is minor; (2) whether the variance is desirable for the appropriate development or use of the land, building or structure; (3) whether the general purpose and intent of the zoning by-law is maintained; and (4) whether the general purpose and intent of the Official Plan is maintained. A variance must meet all four of these tests. Planning Staff has reviewed this application against these four tests as follows: Does the variance conform to the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan? The Township's updated Official Plan (OP) was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is awaiting final approval from the County of Simcoe. In this regard, the existing Official Plan (1997) continues to be in effect and serves as the determinative policy regime for reviewing and evaluating the applicant's development proposal. The existing OP will be repealed once the updated OP is approved by the County. As a result, this report contains an overview of both the existing and updated Township Official Plans with respect to the proposed development on the subject lands. Current Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan The subject lands are designated Shoreline in the Township's Official Plan. The intent of the Shoreline Designation is: • To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-141 Page 4 of 13 Page 183 of 233 6J) 6.50 p.m. DS2022-141 , Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re. Minor Va... • To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline. • To ensure that existing development is appropriately serviced with water and sewer services. Permitted uses in the Shoreline designation include single detached dwellings. On this basis, the requested variance for an addition to the existing single detached dwelling conforms to the current Official Plan. Adopted (not yet in effect) Updated Official Plan The Township's adopted (not yet in effect) updated Official Plan (OP) designates the subject lands as Shoreline. The objectives of the Plan with respect to Shoreline areas are to: • Ensure that the existing character of this predominately residential area shall be maintained; • Ensure that new development on the undeveloped lands in the Shoreline designation is properly serviced with appropriate water and sewage services; • Ensure that all existing sewage systems are upgraded wherever possible; • the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate shoreline shall be conserved and, where possible, enhanced, and, • Ensure that the impacts of new development on the natural heritage features and areas, vegetation and groundwater resources in the area are minimized. Permitted uses in the Shoreline designation include single detached dwellings. Planning Staff considered the proposed application within the context of the surrounding shoreline residential properties and the established character and built form of the shoreline area. Upon site visit, Planning Staff noted that the proposed addition to the existing dwelling will not stand-out, look out of place or detract from the character of this shoreline residential area. The Owners will be required to obtain a Building Permit for the proposed addition and at that time confirmation will be provided to the Township if the existing septic system is able to accommodate the proposed addition. Furthermore, as the existing dwelling and proposed addition is approximately 17 metres (55 feet) from the average highwater mark of Lake Simcoe, no impacts are anticipated to the shoreline and the nature of the development will not affect any natural features or functions. On this basis, the requested variance for an addition to the existing single detached dwelling conforms to the adopted Official Plan. Does the variance conform to the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law? The subject property is zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) in the Township's Zoning By- law 97-95. The applicants are proposing to construct an addition to the existing single detached dwelling and are seeking relief from the Zoning By-law to: Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-141 Page 5 of 13 Page 184 of 233 6J) 6.50 p.m. DS2022-141 , Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re. Minor Va... • Reduce the minimum rear yard setback from the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe for the single detached dwelling addition from 20.0 metres (65.6 feet) to 17.04 metres (55.91 feet). The Township's Zoning By-law prohibits buildings and structures within 20.0 metres (65.6 feet) of the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe to protect natural heritage features and to protect people, property and structures from natural hazards such as flooding and erosion. The applicants have requested a reduced setback to the average high water mark for the dwelling addition. Planning Staff is of the opinion that the proposed variance meets the general and intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law on the basis that the proposed addition will not encroach any closer to the lake than the existing dwelling. Is the variance desirable for the appropriate development of the lot? Planning Staff noted that the reduced setback to the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe is not out of character for the area. For example, a neighbouring property at 773 Woodland Drive obtained a variance to permit a rear yard setback of 15.43 metres (50.62 feet) from the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe for the dwelling and a rear yard setback of 12.84 metres (42.12 feet) from the average high water mark of Lake Simcoe for the deck. The proposed development will not negatively affect functional matters on the lands such as the septic system area, parking or outdoor amenity space. For this reason, Planning Staff are of the opinion that the proposed variance is considered desirable development of the lot. Is the variance minor? The question of the minor nature of the variance relates to its scale and impact. In Planning Staff's opinion, the requested Minor Variance is minor in nature as the proposed dwelling addition is not anticipated to have an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the neighbourhood or on the natural heritage features and functional matters on the lands, including septic system area, parking and outdoor amenity space. As the proposed variance is considered to conform to the general intent of the Official Plan, to meet the general intent of the Zoning By-law, to be appropriate for the desirable development of the lot, and is not anticipated to have an adverse effect on the character of the surrounding area, the variance is considered to be minor. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of the Committee be appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and Council chooses to defend the Committee's decision.

The application is consistent with the following Goal of the Plan: Foster Safe and Inclusive Community Living & Business Growth: • Guide growth while protecting the environment, support community events, facilitate utility and infrastructure plans. Consultations: Notice of this application was circulated to the public and to various review agencies and Township departments. A Public notice sign was also posted on the subject lands. As of the preparation of this report, the following comments have been received: • Township Infrastructure and Capital Projects — No comments. • Township Development Engineering — No objection. An Engineered Lot Grading Plan shall be required at the time of Building Permit Application. • Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority — no objection to the proposed minor variance subject to the following conditions: i) that the owners prepare and complete a Shoreline Planting Plan, to the satisfaction of the LSRCA; and, ii) that the owners obtain a LSRCA permit ahead of any development or site alteration to occur on-site. • Alderville First Nation — we would like to see an archaeological study done just because of the location to the water. Otherwise we don't have any issues with this request. With respect to the comments received from the Alderville First Nation requesting the preparation of an archaeological study, Planning Staff is of the opinion that no planning or archaeological objectives would be furthered through requiring the applicant to undertake an archaeological study in this particular situation as the subject lands are already developed in this established shoreline residential area.

File #: 4346-020-010- D00 06200 Recommendation(s): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1 . That Report No. DS2022-140 be received and adopted. 2. That the temporary second home agreement dated March 3, 2021 between the Township of Oro-Medonte and Virginia & Raymond Gingras be replaced with a new agreement to authorize the temporary residential use of the existing detached accessory building that currently occupies the property at 3626 Line 5 North, for an additional 6 months (a term of twenty-four (24) months from the issuance of the Building Permit for the single detached dwelling) or until completion of the proposed new single detached dwelling, whichever is the lesser period of time. 3. That By-law 2021-024 be repealed and replaced by a new By-law authorizing the execution of a temporary second home agreement between the Township of Oro-Medonte and Virginia & Raymond Gingras. 4. That the applicant be advised of Committee's decision under the Acting Director, Development Services signature. Background: The subject property is 16.2 hectares (40.0 ac.) and is located on the west side of Line 5 North, a few properties north of Horseshoe Valley Road West (see Schedules 1 & 2). In 2020, the Owners obtained a Minor Variance to permit a temporary dwelling unit within the detached accessory building. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-140 Page 1 of 6 Page 211 of 233 7.b) DS2022-140, Catherine McCarroll, Intermediate Planner re. Request f... On March V, 2021, By-law 2021-024 was passed to authorize the execution of the second home agreement for a duration of 18 months from the date of issuance of the Building Permit for the new single detached dwelling or until completion of the proposed new single detached dwelling, whichever is the lesser period of time. This agreement is set to expire on March 22, 2023. The Owners have experienced several building delays. The dwelling has a roof, walls and plumbing; however, they are waiting for windows before they can complete the interior of the dwelling. The Owners have requested to extend their second home agreement by an additional 6 months while the construction of their new single detached dwelling is being completed. Analysis: The Township has a historical practice that allows for owners to temporarily reside in their existing dwelling or a trailer during construction of their new dwelling and provide for a Building Permit to be issued for the new dwelling. This practice has been followed contrary to the Township's Zoning By-law, which only permits one dwelling per property; however, it was established as a reasonable compromise to assist owners and limit the undue hardship. This established practice and the associated temporary permissions has traditionally been granted for a one-year timeframe on other properties in the Township, with the odd exception up to three years. The original agreement was granted for 18 months from the issuance of the Building Permit for the single detached dwelling. The owners have requested an extension for another 6 months to complete the construction of the dwelling. A financial deposit and agreement (see Attachment #3) stipulating the terms of this approval will be required to be executed with the owner, to ensure compliance after the 24-month expiry. As the applicants have already provided the $20,000.00 securities to ensure the decommissioning or conversion of the existing dwelling unit into a home occupation, it is anticipated that the applicants will expedite the conversion process in order to have their securities returned expeditiously. Financial / Legal Implications / Risk Management: The Owners provided securities in the amount of $20,000.00 on February 25, 2021 , to ensure that the existing dwelling unit located in the detached accessory building is decommissioned or converted into a home occupation once the new single detached dwelling is constructed.

Township o} Report 0 Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Report No. To: Prepared By: DS2022-142 Development Services Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Committee Planner Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # January 4, 2023 New Oro-Medonte Zoning By- law— Communications Roll #: Engagement Strategy R.M.S. File #: D14 50194 Recommendation Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. That Report DS2022-142 be received. Background: At the August 18t", 2021 Council meeting, Council directed staff to proceed with taking the lead in the Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By-law Review projects. The Township's updated Official Plan was adopted by Council on October 5, 2022 and is currently awaiting approval from the County of Simcoe. The next step in the Township's planning program is translating the updated Official Plan into a new comprehensive Zoning By-law. Planning Staff will be working to prepare a new Zoning By-law over the next 12 months (estimated timeline). The Zoning By-law is the Township's primary tool to regulate the use of land in the municipality. The Zoning By-law divides all land in the Township into various zone categories (e.g. residential, agricultural, commercial), establishes what uses are permitted in each zone category and identifies standards about the location, massing and height of buildings and structures. The new Oro-Medonte Zoning By-law must, in accordance with the Planning Act, conform to the Township's updated Official Plan. Like most planning documents, the new Zoning By-law should be prepared with the full participation and engagement of the residents, business owners and associations of the community. The purpose of this Communications Engagement Strategy is to set out the Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-142 Page 1 of 7 Page 217 of 233 7.c DS2022-142, Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re: New ro-Medonte Zo... proposed approach and methods that will be employed to ensure that all resi ents are informed, engaged and consulted during the preparation of the new Zoning By-law for the Township. Analysis: Legislation and Our Approach The Planning Act sets out the minimum legal requirements for the preparation, consideration, public notice and public consultation as part of passing a new Zoning By- law for the Township that implements a new or updated Official Plan. Section 34(12) of the Act requires that, before passing a new Zoning By-law: • Council shall ensure that sufficient information and material is made available to enable the public to generally understand the zoning proposal that is being considered; • Hold at least one (1) public open house giving the public an opportunity to review and ask questions about the information and material made publically available; and, • Hold at least one (1) public meeting (typically referred to as the statutory public meeting) for the purpose of giving the public an opportunity to provide input and comments and to "make representations in respect of the proposed by-law". Notice requirements of the public meeting and open house regarding the proposed new Zoning By-law are described in Section 34(13) and in regulations thereto. These include: • Notice of the public meeting and open house can be given together or separately; • Notice for a new Zoning By-law, as it applies to the entire municipality, must be given by publishing a notice in a newspaper that is, in the opinion of the Clerk, of sufficiently general circulation that it would give the public reasonable notice of the public meeting or open house; • All persons and public bodies that have requested the municipality be provided direct written notice; • Direct notice of the public meeting and open house to a list of municipalities (e.g. County), agencies and public bodies (e.g. School Boards), utilities (e.g. HydroOne), and First Nations; Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-142 Page 2 of 7 Page 218 of 233 7.c) DS2022-142, Andy Karaiskakis, Senior Planner re: New Oro-Medonte Zo... • Open house can be held no later than 7 days before the statutory public meeting; and, • Notice of the open house and public meeting must be provided at least 20 days prior to the holding of the meeting. This proposed Communications Engagement Strategy for the new Zoning By-law project will exceed the minimum requirements of the Act and will see the Township use a full range of tools and techniques to ensure that the community is advised, informed and has multiple avenues to participate, provide input and see their comments considered. Planning Staff believe that the new Zoning By-law will benefit from informed public participation and such participation will help Council and Staff prepare a by-law that better reflects the communities' interests and expectations. How We Communicate The following are the various ways and means that the Township will employ to communicate with the community and public at large to encourage engagement and participation in the project. 1 . Website A dedicated new Zoning By-law Review webpage has been created on the Township website (www.oro-medonte.ca). The project website will contain all the information available about the project including the work plan and schedule, status and updates, notices, newsletters, reports and technical memorandums, information about how to stay involved and engaged, and methods for providing comments and inputs to the process. The project webpage is intended to be the "one stop shop" for residents, business owners, and associations to get their information about the New Zoning By- law project. The webpage is www.oro-medonte.ca/zoning-by-law-review 2. Newspapers In keeping with the Planning Act requirements, legislated notices for the new Zoning By- law will be provided in the Midland Mirror, Barrie Advance and Orillia Today and in the Township's Community Page. In this regard, notices for the required public open house and statutory public meeting will be posted in the newspapers as well as on the dedicated Zoning By-law Review webpage and on the Township's social media platforms. The webpage will also contain updates on the project, how to stay informed and involved and the release of documents for public comment. Development Services January 4, 2023 Report No. DS2022-142 Page 3 of 7 Page 219 of 233 7.c) DS2022-142 Andy Karaiskakis Senior Planner re: New Oro-Medonte Zo... Notices will meet the legal requrrements of the Planning Act, but will also provide information in a clear and visually appealing manner to ensure the notices "catch the eye" of residents. 3. Dedicated Project Email The Township has created a dedicated project email address (zoningbylawreview@oro- medonte.ca) for residents, business owners, and associations to directly contact Township Staff and to provide input and comments regarding the drafting of the new Zoning By-law. Staff will monitor and record each of the emails received and review for consideration, evaluation and response as part of the project. Each and every comment received will be considered throughout the new Zoning By- law project process. 4. Social Media The Township will use its various social media accounts (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) to push out communications and notices about the new Zoning By-law in order to raise its profile and encourage and drive community interest and participation. Engaging the Community In addition to communicating full and complete information about the new Zoning By-law through the numerous methods listed in the preceding section, the Township intends to directly engage and consult with the community in the following manner throughout the project. 1 . Duty to Consult The Township is committed to meeting its obligations to consult directly with First Nations and other Indigenous organizations throughout the new Zoning By-law project. As partners in the community, the Township will meet its duty to consult obligations with First Nations on an individual basis. 2. Online Survey A survey and questionnaire will be prepared and posted on the Township website and the dedicated Project webpage with notice of the survey provided through communication methods noted above. The Online Survey will provide easy connection and completion through an online survey company such as Survey Monkey. This survey and questionnaire will concentrate on zoning issues that are important to the public and stakeholders. The survey and questionnaire will serve the purpose of seeking comments on the new Zoning By-law Review and understanding what is important to residents, businesses, association and visitors to the Township.

Open House(s) — Virtual or In-person Two Open Houses are identified in the new Zoning By-law project Work Plan at critical stages in the process. The first Open House will be scheduled following the preparation and release of the "First Draft" of the new By-law. The Open House will provide residents and business owners with an opportunity to review and compare the draft changes from the existing Zoning By-law with the proposed new By-law. The Open House will also provide attendees with an opportunity to discuss the propose changes with the project team and Township Staff on a one-on-one basis. It is proposed that the first Open House will be held in the spring months to maximize the number of residents that can attend the Open House and provide input. The Open House will be held following a hybrid format to enable participation virtually and in-person for members of the public and Township Staff. This strategy recognizes that the Open House format may need to be modified to address current and future social distancing protocols resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. If necessary, the Open House will be held virtually and tailored to that delivery mechanism. This could include scheduled and arranged meeting times with residents for the one-on-one discussions with Township staff. A copy of the First Draft of the new Zoning By-law will also be made available on the Township website as noted above so that members of the public can review and provide comments.
