Application - 16-36 Bay Bulls Road

Tue, 2014/07/15 - 4:30pm

Staff has initiated an application to rezone portions of the properties located at 16-36 Bay Bulls Road. The purpose of the application is to remove the Open Space Reserve (OR) Zone from the rear yards of the subject properties. Initially, the Open Space Reserve (OR) Zone was put in to act as a buffer between the residences and the highway.  It has since been determined that there is little need for such a wide buffer and that the OR Zoned area is no longer serving its intended purpose. A Municipal Plan amendment will not be required.
