Owner: 1584412 Ontario Inc., Applicant: Steve Attard 10.2.2. Planning Report - Elizabeth Howson, Macaulay Shiomi Howson Ltd. Ms. Howson in attendance to present Planning Report and Recommendation to approve the existing use as a secondary dwelling unit in an accessory building, pursuant to OPA#8, recently adopted by Council, as the dwelling unit does not meet the criteria of a Temporary Use for a Garden Suite. She noted that the existing dwelling is located within a permanent structure, which is not removeable, and there will be no impacts on the surrounding properties, and requirement for a building permit to be obtained will still apply. This approach results in no differences to the proposed use presented at the Public Meeting, and therefore, re-circulation of the application is not required, and Zoning Bylaw Amendment contains a clause to address this, and is compliant with the provisions of the Planning Act. Motions passed to approve as revised and to pass Zoning Bylaw Amendment 5- 2021. 10.3. Town of Orangeville 10.3.1.
