Take Notice a statutory public meeting is taking place to discuss a proposed Zoning By-law Amendment affecting the property described above.

Purpose and Effect: The subject application is proposing to rezone a portion of the subject lands located at 4023 Line 80 from Agriculture Zone (A) to Special Agriculture Zone (A-SP) to facilitate the expansion of an existing on-farm diversified use on the property by increasing the maximum gross floor area from 372 m2 to a maximum of 1,003.5 m2, to reduce the total number of required parking spaces from 25 spaces to 10 spaces, and to increase the maximum number of employees that do not reside on the farm from 2 to 5. The site-specific zoning is intended to permit the expansion of the existing laser cutting business through the conversion of an existing accessory structure with a gross floor area of 631.5 m2 into storage for the on-farm diversified use. No changes are being proposed to the Natural Resources/Environment Zone Two (NRE2) zoned lands.
