Notice of Public Meeting - Zone Map Modernization

The Municipality of Huron East has initiated a review and update of the Zone Maps of the Huron East Zoning By-law. Following the hosting of open houses in November 2024, a public meeting will be held pursuant to Section 34 of the Planning Act on Tuesday February 4th, 2025, at 5pm at the Huron East Council Chambers at 72 Main Street, Seaforth.

The purpose of the project is to modernize the Zone Maps, improving readability and accuracy; there has been no major update to the maps since 2006. To view the proposed Zone Maps and for more details on the project, please visit the Zoning Page on our website.

Some of the proposed changes include:

• Re-formatting to have less zone maps overall (reduce from 95 to 44 maps);
• Colour maps to aid interpretation (the current maps are black/white);
• Reformatting to enhance accessibility and overall user-friendliness;
• Improved accuracy based on current aerial photography;
  • Minor text changes that relate directly to the maps (for example, remove special zones that no longer apply).

Have Your Say:

Persons wishing to participate in the planning process may submit comments, objections, or concerns by mail to the Municipality or to Shae Stoll, Planner (sstoll@huroncounty.ca) or 519-524-8394 ext. 3. Individuals may speak during the public meeting and/or submit written comments by January 29th, 2025, to be included on the Council agenda.

Your Rights:

Third parties do not have the right to appeal the decision; only the Municipality, property owners, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, a specified person under the Planning Act or public body that has an interest in the matter, may appeal the decision. Please refer to the County of Huron website for details about appeal rights.
