Relating to Model Home Provisions

TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the Village of Westport will hold an online public meeting at 6:00 p.m. on January 19, 2021, in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Office located at 30 Bedford Street in the Village of Westport to consider the following item:

A proposed general amendment to Comprehensive Zoning By-law No. 08-12 under Section 34 of the Planning Act, R.S.O., 1990, Chapter P.13. The purpose of the amendment is to add a new general provision to Section 3 (General Provisions) of the Zoning By-law in order to allow one or more model homes to be constructed on lands in a draft-approved plan of subdivision. The amendment would add a definition for a model home as well as establish zoning provisions to regulate model home construction.

THIS AMENDMENT is of general application to all lands in the Village of Westport; therefore, no key map is provided.

ANY PERSON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the above item(s). In the event that you are unable to attend the meeting but wish to submit written comments, please attempt to ensure that your comments are delivered to the Clerk’s office no later than 12 noon on January 14, 2021.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY would otherwise have an ability to appeal the decision of the Village of Westport to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal but the person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Village of Westport before the by-law is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision.

IF A PERSON OR PUBLIC BODY does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or make written submissions to the Village of Westport before the by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to a hearing of an appeal before the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal unless, in the opinion of the Tribunal, there are reasonable grounds to do so.
