This Public Hearing is an opportunity for any person who believes their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw to be heard. No one will be, or should feel, discouraged or prevented from making their views known.


Once I state your name, speakers should begin your address to Council by clearly stating your name and address. It is important that all who speak at this Public Hearing limit their remarks to matters contained in the bylaw and it is my responsibility as Chair of this hearing to ensure this.


All written submissions and all representations from the public form part of and are disclosed through the public record.  This Public Hearing is being streamed live and the recording will posted to the district’s website.


Once the Public Hearing is closed, Council will not receive any additional information or representation from the applicant or members of the public other than to clarify issues raised at the public hearing.  Council will make its views known, deliberate and make its decision at a future Regular Council Meeting.

Purpose: Council will be considering a site-specific Bylaw Amendment application to amend the Agriculture (A-1) zoning to include a restaurant as a permitted use on the subject property (1445 Benvenuto Avenue).
